Remembering Steve Sabol
One of the jobs I had in "a past life" was doing some technology work and training for NFL Films. I recently saw an article on the passing of Steve Sabol, and needed to take a moment and pause, reflect, and celebrate the life of a man I knew briefly in my career, but who left a lasting impact on me. I doubt he would've remembered me, but I definitely remembered him.
If you are a fan of the "mutant rugby" that Americans call Football, you need to thank Steve. The impact he had on promoting this game was unprecedented. He and his organization brought the drama, the conflict of Football, to television in a way that hadn't been seen before. Some of the best camera operators worked at NFL Films, and week-after-week, they'd shoot plays at crazy frame rates – over 120fps – just to bring those creamy slow-motion shots you're used to seeing. I still crave owning a high-frame-rate camera because of what I grew up watching from Steve.
Steve introduced the concept of metadata to me. Back in the 90's, NFL Films was sitting on a HUGE library of film, dating back to something like 1947. He called for the creation of a computerized system to catalog, tag, and digitize this library, and his team created a custom system called SABRE. Using SABRE, an editor could search for all the clips of Green Bay Packers linebackers with cold breath at an away game, and SABRE would deliver a list of clips, with low-res proxie files ready to view. All the asset-management systems of today? Steve's team had them beat back in 1999. I remember asking one of the production staff about my brother-in-law, who played for the Raiders, and within 5 minutes, he handed me a tape with all his highlights cut together.
Steve was also thinking about the future of broadcasting – the division I worked with was NFL Films Online – a team of people hired to create the next generation of NFL Films. A lot of those early attempts involved extending shows that were broadcast on ESPN or the big 4 networks. We would take a show brand, like Edge NFL Matchup on ESPN, and create original online content. Many of the traditional shows were limited to 24 minutes of on-air time, and couldn't cover all the games, so our job was to bring the hosts in, let them talk about the games the same way they did on-air, and produce extended content that fans could watch on the web site. And, we had to do it at 1/25 the cost of the on-air version. I have memories of training the production staff how to use a virtual set system we set up in an old film storage room. One of their virtual set designers was a 16 year old kid who impressed Steve enough to get a job.
One of the last projects I remember working on was a virtual set demo for an NFL Owner's meeting in Baltimore. I had to tech-direct the demo, showing live internet streaming (with Steve holding a clock as "proof"!) from another part of the building. Steve was presenting his vision for "building the Brand online" and it worked – he convinced the owners to fund the project.
Steve was a class act, and what you saw in all those on-camera intros was what you got off-camera. He was a genuine, personable guy with a vision of what he wanted.

Hiking with Heart! (and Huttons)
Kaikoura's Puhi Puhi Valley is the setting for one of the world's most special walking tracks - it's adventure with a conscience.
1 / 3
Kaikoura's Puhi Puhi Valley is the last place on earth that the endangered Hutton's Shearwater calls home. Visitors explore this rugged, spectacular landscape by taking an organised "Kaikoura Wilderness Walk" to Shearwater Lodge, where owner Nicky McArthur shares her passion for the endangered species (not to mention her famous home cooking).
Avid trampers and bushwalkers won't expect the creature comforts (hot shower? fresh linen? underfloor heating?) - but you won't hear them complaining either. Luxury has never felt so good as after a healthy day's hike.
Visitors also may never have seen this type of "tourism with a conscience." Although Nicky and her team openly welcome visitors to their special Kaikoura wilderness, they won't let them leave without sharing their commitment - to care for the rare Huttons species and ensure that visitors appreciate the part this lodge plays in protecting their future.
Check out http://www.kaikourawilderness.co.nz/ to find out how you can get close to the Hutton's in one of New Zealand's most special places.

Senator calls for replacing transparency program
TALLAHASSEE Open government advocates increased the heat on state officials to unleash access to a budget transparency web site Friday as the Senate president continued to distance himself from the site under his control.
Senate President Don Gaetz, R-Niceville, announced the he was asking Sen. Jeremy Ring, D-Margate, to develop legislation to create a "user-friendly, accurate, cost-effective, web-based transparency tool" for the state budget that could include or replace the system developed by Spider Data Systems.
The state has already spent at least $4.5 million on the Spider Data budget transparency program, called Transparency 2.0, under a contract signed by former Senate President Mike Haridopolos but kept the web site under wraps. The rare, sole-source contract allowed for the company to use its patented technology to merge state budget, contract, personnel and accounting data into a single portal to allow legislators and staff to track how government money is spent.
But the powerful search functions of the web site allow weaken the ability of legislative leaders and budget staffers to control the flow of information in Tallahassee and the program has never been rolled out formally for lawmakers to use.
Integrity Florida and the First Amendment Foundation called upon Gaetz, Gov. Rick Scott and House Speaker Will Weatherford to allow a public demonstration of Transparency 2.0 "so the public can see what $5 million of their money purchased and make an informed judgment about their investment," said Dan Krassner, director of Integrity Florida, in a conference call with reporters on Friday.
Their report, "Budget Transparency of the Sunshine State," reviewed the functions of the existing TransparencyFlorida.gov web site and Chief Financial Officer Jeff Atwater's contract search site and concluded the Transparency 2.0 site was far superior.
"What we saw was a web site that, if made public, would give the citizens of Florida, and our state policy makers, the opportunity to see all the spending, find waste and save millions of dollars for Florida taxpayers,'' Krassner said. "Why not allow the public to identify costs savings?"
Barbara Petersen, president of the First Amendment Foundation, compared the operation of Transparency 2.0 to a cell phone, while the existing web site offered to the public was like using a rotary phone.
"Transparency 2.0 connects all the dots for me and gave me some dots I wasn't really expecting,'' Petersen said, after using the system. "The idea that we would not allow public access to this web site is quite alarming to me."
Spider Data signed its contract with the Senate in February 2011 when Haridopolos was Senate president and Steve MacNamara was his chief of staff. Gaetz and Sen. Lisbeth Benacquisto were among the senators shown a demonstration of the program in the fall of 2011 when it was ready to launch.
The Senate choose not to make the program available to lawmakers and staff and, in June 2012, drafted a memorandum of understanding to transfer management of the program to Scott. The legislature also included $2.5 million in the 2012-13 budget for the governor to develop a transparency web site for public access that provides all the functions of the Transparency 2.0 system. Scott did not veto the money.
After the Herald/Times disclosed that lawmakers were poised to shelve the program when the contract with the vendors expires at the end of the month, Gaetz scheduled a meeting with the Spider Data System developers on Thursday to ask them questions. He did not seek a demonstration of the program.
In a letter to the Senate on Friday, Gaetz said he learned then that the Senate does not own the software and must pay an additional $1 million a year to continue its contract with the vendor to keep the site current – information spelled out in the 2011 contract.
He said he also demanded to know the names of the owners of the company and they told him "they will get back to me."
"I'd like to know whose doing business with us, who owns stock in the company, who stands to benefit from this extraordinarily expensive contract which, it turns out, the people of Florida don't own," Gaetz told the Herald/Times in an interview.
The developers of the software program and principal owners of Spider Data are Anna Mattson, who once worked for the House budget office a decade ago, and Sherri Taylor, an information technology expert. Mattson has told the Herald/Times that she also has a partnership with lobbyist Jim Eaton in another company that was formed to promote the software for use in local governments.
Gaetz also noted that the system appears to include incomplete budget data because it fails to include "fund transfers" between agencies. Under the contract Haridopolos agreed to, the Senate is allowed 600 licenses to access the site and has the authority to tell the vendors who can get them. No where in Gaetz's letter does he tell senators how to obtain access to the site.
Anna Mattson, president of Spider Data Systems, said in a statement that she is addressing Gaetz's concerns but added, "our contract ends December 31, 2012, and we are not seeking to renew our contract with the Senate."
Gaetz said in his letter that he concluded Transparency 2.0 "contains many valuable features, as do a variety of products and services brought before the legislature each year. The question we must answer is which product will provide the most value to the taxpayers of Florida."
Gaetz has asked Ring to review the Transparency 2.0 web site and provide him with "information on costs and a potential timetable for improving existing public websites with more user-friendly features in order to do a cost and functional comparison with the Spider Data product."
"There's a commitment to have a transparency web site, not just for the Senate, but for citizens to use,'' Ring told the Herald/Times. He conceded that the current law, which allows the Senate and House to sign no-bid, single source contracts without following the same rules as state agencies is "not fair" and his committee will consider changing that law.
Gaetz and Ring have both filed financial disclosure forms indicating their financial interest in Mercurian, a Web-based healthcare company to help children and caregivers of autistic children.
Krassner said Gaetz' letter raises more questions than it answers.
"Why would they want to waste the $5 million that has already been spent?" he asked. "There's a product that's available now. The public paid for it and we should be able to see it and use it."
Krassner said that it is now appears that it's up to the governor to preserve the $5 million spent by taxpayers.
"There's a tremendous opportunity for Gov. Scott,'' Krassner said. "He can become the transparency governor and leave a lasting legacy for Florida if he decides to launch this web site.''

UED6107, New August 1980
Missouri CourthousesContact and other information about this county is available on the National Association of Counties website, http://explorer.naco.org/.
Vernon County was organized in 1855. In the same year commissioners bought 50 acres for $250 as the site of the county seat. The county seat was first called Fairview; later the name became Nevada City.
First courts met in private homes. The court gave the contract for building the first courthouse to James Bryan in May 1856 and appropriated $900. D. C. Hunter, county clerk, appointed as superintendent, presented a plan that called for a building 28 by 18 feet with the first story nine feet high, the second story seven feet. The exterior would have frame weatherboarding, the interior, plastering. The building was to be painted white with green shutters and covered with a shingle roof; there were to be four panel doors and seven windows. A closed stairway, which turned at the corner, led to the second story, which had two partitions. The courtroom was apparently on the lower floor, since this room was available for religious services of all denominations. On June 23, 1857, the court accepted the building, which was one block west of the public square.
A brick building for the clerk's office was built on the southwest corner of the square in 1860 for $550. Both the courthouse and clerk's office were destroyed when the town was burned in 1863, and the county seat moved for safety reasons. Officials stored records in several locations in Arkansas and Kansas, but returned them after the war. County Court records are missing from 1861-65.
In January 1867 citizens presented a petition for building a new courthouse, and the court first appropriated $15,000 for construction. A. A. Pitcher acted as superintendent of public buildings, and Charles W. Goodlander contracted with the court for construction of the two-story building (Figure 1).
Figure 1Vernon County Courthouse, 1868-1906. (From: History of Vernon County, 1911)
Completed in October 1868, the final costs totaled approximately $25,000. The 50-by-60-foot brick building had a 15-foot tower that rose from a 10-foot base. This tower appears on detailed maps from 1885 to 1900, but does not show in the undated photograph in Figure 1. The building had a recessed vestibule opened with two white stone square columns supporting a small cornice. White quoins trimmed the side walls of the entry and corners of the building. The white was repeated in segmental lintels above the windows on the first floor and round arched lintels on the second floor. Supporting the cornice were pairs of brackets at the corners and above each window.
The building faced south. A center hall divided the first floor with three rooms on each side. The Circuit Court room was on the second floor. There were two rooms and a gallery above the vestibule. In 1868 the court charged for renting the courtroom — $1.00 for churches and lodges; $10.00 for dances, shows or exhibitions; political, railroad or agricultural meetings were free. Later, this courthouse was altered to create more usable space. In time it deteriorated and was sold and razed in 1906.
Vernon County's present courthouse was built in 1906-08, of a similar design to the 19th century courthouses of Adair and Johnson counties, and the 20th century Polk County courthouse, all built by the same architect, R. G. Kirsch (Figure 2).
Figure 2Vernon County Courthouse, 1906-. Architect: Robert G. Kirsch (Courtesy: State Historical Society of Missouri)
Ten architects presented plans to Vernon County court officials in March 1906, and by an overwhelming vote, officials selected Robert G. Kirsch. W. L. Garver, formerly of Nevada, was runner-up. Other plans the court admired were too expensive. The court called for bids in July, but all exceeded the $75,000 limit. Costs were rising rapidly, so Kirsch altered his plan. Substituting less expensive materials, he gave contractors options on materials for inside foundation above footings and changed the main staircase from marble and iron to quarter-sawed oak.
Dye and Beagles Construction firm of Nevada received the bid for $71,186. Built of Carthage stone, the three-story building measures 80 by 100 feet and rises to 126 feet at the top of the dome. The courtroom, which seats 310, is on the second floor. Cornerstone ceremonies took place Oct. 30, 1906; the court accepted the completed building in February 1908. Final costs for the courthouse amounted to almost $80,000. Most maintenance on the building has respected the original design.

Yurek is set to be replaced by current chief operating officer and president Daniel McGahn on June 1. Yurek will continue as chairman until the company's annual meeting in August.
He will continue to serve as an advisor to the company for the next two years.
The reshuffle follows a difficult time for AMSC. In April, it was revealed that its biggest customer Sinovel had refused to accept and pay for contracted shipments of wind turbine components.
Additionally, several class-action lawsuits have been filed against AMSC alleging securities fraud by the Massachusetts-based company and some of its officials.
Yurek said: "The past 24 years have been challenging, exhilarating and rewarding. Together with a great team at AMSC, we have been a superconductor technology pioneer and evolved into a dynamic power technologies company.
"Having worked with Dan for nearly five years, I am confident in his ability to lead the company through today's obstacles and into another era of growth."

These laws also provide that a collective body of "eligible" citizens shall perform as jurors, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender or economic status. It is a role you should assume with pride.
While I recognize jury service is a burden, interrupting your personal and business lives, it is also a unique privilege we enjoy as citizens. Jury service is thus not only your responsibility but also your opportunity to participate in the American justice system, to learn firsthand how it works, and to help us make it work better."
Hon. Judith S. Kaye
Chief Judge

Only the prom king and queen are safe.
Researchers say that the more popular teens are – except for those at the very apex of the fragile high school hierarchy – the more likely they are to be bullied, perhaps a surprise to people who presumed outcasts were the exclusive targets.
Researchers Robert Faris of UC Davis and Diane Felmlee of Penn State University write that traditional, everyday views of bullying – reported by nearly a fifth of teens – tell less than the whole story. "For most students, gains in status increase the likelihood of victimization and the severity of its consequences," they wrote in the journal of the American Sociological Assn.
The aggressors, too, often "posses strong social skills," and bully others to move up the social ladder rather than to "reenact their own troubled home lives."
So while the uppermost teens on the social scale can "afford" to be nice, those in the next tier have to keep themselves there, Faris said Tuesday.
He and Felmlee looked at how status can increase the chances of being a victim and how it can magnify the distress caused, which can include depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts.
They wrote that "the ways in which status can increase risk have been largely ignored and we identify a new pattern of victimization," which they call "instrumental targeting." And it can work, they said. "Evidence suggests that aggressors' campaigns of harassment and abuse are rewarded with increased prestige … particularly when they target socially prominent rivals."
Perhaps it shouldn't be a surprise that popular kids get targeted: If the tormentor is aiming to raise his or her own status, "targeting prominent rivals makes strategic sense," the researchers wrote. And for high-status victims, the fall can be more drastic.
To sort this out, the researchers used data from more than 8,000 students in 19 North Carolina schools about their five closest friends and five students who had "picked on or were mean" to them, and five they in turn had been mean to. They used that web of connections to draw their conclusions.
In that group, about half the students were white and a third African American. Most lived with two parents. The average student was harassed by 0.72 students during the spring term, but among victims, the average number of attackers was 2.2. Girls had higher rates of victimization. The researchers noted that there could be differences in other populations.
Some students found protection; being friends with teens of the opposite gender provided some shield.
The researchers don't suggest that outcast teens of various sorts don't get bullied – only that theirs is not the whole story.
Faris also said that there was a message in the research for teenagers and their parents: It's probably better to have a few close friends than 200 Facebook friends. In addition, the "drama" that's often discussed about adolescent relationships might be taken more seriously – by students and parents, he said.
And many students, Faris said, don't see what's happening "as bullying and they may be sort of like fish in water and accustomed to having a lot of drama around them."
The students don't see what the researchers do: "We have very precise measures of the status and we have access to the social map of the school. We can assign a score to each kid. … The kids don't have access to that degree of precision."

AMERICUS - The Georgia Southwestern men's basketball team utilized a balanced attack to dismantle Georgia College on Saturday evening in the Storm Dome, 70-52. Alan Arnett posted a double-double, Jamon Hawkins dished out nine assists and Matt Shaw scored a game-high 17 points to lead the Hurricanes to their fourth-straight victory.
GSW is back at the .500 mark with an 11-11 overall record and the Hurricanes upped their PBC record to 7-8. GSW has won by an average of 17.5 points over the current winning streak. Georgia College has lost three of its last four games and sits at 8-13 overall and 4-10 in the PBC.
Michael Tankersley gave GSW its first lead, which would go unrelinquished the rest of the way, when he made a layup with 15:30 left in the first half to put the Hurricanes ahead, 4-2.
A 12-2 run towards the end of the first period gave GSW some breathing room with a 12-point lead, 23-11. The Hurricanes took a 30-17 lead into the break and improved to 9-3 when leading at the half.
GSW improved on its 50 percent shooting effort in the first half by shooting 58.3 percent in the second stanza. The Hurricanes shot over 50 percent in the second half for the 14th time this season.
Shaw scored 12 of his 17 points and connected on both of his 3-point shot attempts over the final 20 minutes. His free throw with 5:16 to play gave GSW its biggest lead of the night, 26 points. at 65-39.
A quartet of Southwestern players scored in double-figures. Shaw led the way with 17 points. Arnett and Milos Kleut scored 12 points apiece and Michael Tankersley added 10.
GSW was strong on the defensive end as well. Southwestern held GC to their season-low shooting percentage, 26.8, and the Hurricanes held substantial advantages in rebounding, 42-24, and points in the paint, 36-10.
Joey Bell scored 12 points off the bench to lead the Bobcats.
GC had controlled the series with GSW since the Hurricanes joined the NCAA ranks in 2006, winning 11 of 12 meetings, but this season the edge belonged to GSW as the 'Canes emerged victorious in both meetings.
The Hurricanes travel to Montevallo on Wednesday for a 8:30 p.m. matchup with the Falcons.

Danica Patrick (Photo: Getty Images for NASCAR)
By Mike Mulhern
A noticeably subdued Danica Patrick, after two lackluster days of testing her Cup car here, concedes "I've struggled…I don't really feel very comfortable."
But then her whole season has been like that.
This has not been the high point of her career. And what that may say about her full-time Sprint Cup schedule next season might not be good.
"I'll be going over to figure out how I can feel more comfortable…or what I'm doing wrong…because I'm sure there is a lot for me to learn."
But then maybe it's not just that but questions about her lucrative GoDaddy sponsorship: A Falling Star?
How does she react to that?
"It's more work for the general Danica racing team than anything, as they are working on my behalf to make sure that everything is going the way it should," she says.
That's not a very clear answer, to say the least.
"It's just how it goes," she insists. "It's really not a problem. I know they were saying 'sorry for the drama.' But I just drive the car."
Patience on the sponsorship side?
Patrick says yes. "I think my sponsors and partners have always been great about that. They don't just sponsor me and put the name on the side of a car.
"They go beyond that. They use my 'platform' and my reach with fans.
"While they want me to do well (on the track), I want to do well (too) and that's my primary goal. (But) the relationship has legs outside of that. That's why I've been fortunate to have sponsors stick around for a long time."
After her second full-time season on the Nationwide tour, her judgment is that "it's been an okay season.
"We need to find speed, and that's why you've seen the changes (bringing in new crew chief Ryan Pemberton, replacing Tony Eury Jr.).
"We all want to be more competitive. I feel we've been inching closer.
"Ultimately I am disappointed with the results."
Here, so far things don't appear much different.
"In the Cup car I'm not that fast at all," she says. "People could come up behind me, and I would just let them go, because it's hard to pass. You take the air away from them because you're running the same line.
"The toughest thing for me is I'm just so slow in practice. In the race, when everything kind of evens out, and there are not 'new' tires any more, all there is the beginning of a run -- which I still struggle with -- once everything kind of settles in, I'm better.
"I get frustrated when I think about how I'm doing out there in Cup some times in practice. Then I remember back to Nationwide and it didn't go so great there either.
"You have to feel that out, and be able to believe in that.
"I'm just not quite there. So each time I get to a new track it's always the same. I've got to build up my confidence.
"What doesn't kill you makes your stronger, right?"
Patrick does have an interesting twist on the current questions about concussions. While there is talk about NASCAR needing to do 'baseline' mental testing on drivers in pre-season, to be able to diagnose when a driver has been dinged too hard, Patrick says drivers can game that.
Patrick, during her Indy-car days, had to do baseline testing, a 30-minute test. That, however, is not required in NASCAR.
She says it would be a good move for NASCAR to add such baseline testing for drivers.
"I don't think additional precautions, or testing, or knowledge is a bad thing," she says.
"I've been asked a lot about people sandbagging the tests. If you choose to sandbag, and not perform as well on the original test, so that you can do better later, it's your own fault. It's your life. If you choose to do that you can; but it's only affecting you.
"I thought baseline testing was a good thing. A lot of sports do that.
"When I had a big accident in Homestead at my first Indy-car race in 2005, I was fortunate enough to have a weekend off between that one and the next race, which was Phoenix. I took the baseline, and retested the baseline.
"Knowing more about your mental status and health is always good."
Tony Stewart, her boss, says he's taking the GoDaddy flap with a grain of salt. And he's not worried about it being a distraction for her:
"I never worry about how it is going to impact her on the track, because when she started last year in Nationwide everywhere she went it was crazy, but she is able to get in the car and focus on what she is doing," Stewart says.
"As far as what came out yesterday (in USAToday), it hasn't even been to our department yet on our side. We don't really have anything to do with that at this point.
"Whatever happens, it will be interesting to see when it comes Super Bowl Sunday for sure.
"As far as what she is doing with the race team and the commitment there, it is all the same. We read everything and laughed about it and went on."
Maybe if Stewart had picked easier Cup races this season for Patrick....
"Her scenario is a little different than a lot of other drivers," Stewart explains. "She has been very eager to get to the Cup series... and I still think -- more so than some people do -- that she has the ability to be successful at this level.
"The learning curve she is going through has been a lot shorter than what it probably should have been.
"But that is why Ryan Newman and I are here -- as a support system.
"I believe she can do it. But it wasn't going to be easy."
Tough tracks?
"Next year she will see the benefits of that," Stewart says. "It is hard (right now), because she is running against top-notch guys on top-notch teams. There is not enough time to allow her to get caught up. But she is still learning.
"She is a confident person, and part of my job as a car owner is to say 'Hey, I know it's frustrating at times, but trust me, there is a benefit to what we are doing. I've been there before; I know.'"
It's such a shame the majority of the media and alot of the fans choose to ridicule Patrick ... I'm not sure if it's jealousy,stupidity, or just lack of having "one's own life" to worry about. Ms.Patrick has more driving abilities then the folks who write about her....and in the looks department she surpasses many of us plain folks...I'm not sure why that brings out the ugly in humans...but in Patrick's case...it truly has. Has she been stellar this season...no...is she the worse driver in both series...hardly. Ms. Patrick was not brought up driving stock cars...and...as far as I can tell she is making solid progress. I seem to recall a few past crossover entries...who are no longer in the series...I give Ms. Patrick kudos for her determination. We have Montoya...who...dare I say has been in Cup much longer then Patrick...but, besides his road course win, doesn't have much better results then Patrick. Patrick has a stellar coach in Stewart...who understands the toughness of going from open wheel to stock..so perhaps we should sit back and let them do their jobs and keep the silly jokes to a minimum while Patrick figures out where she belongs in the racing world.

A map shows the intensity of an earthquake felt Wednesday morning in Southern California.
An earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 4.5 was reported this morning in Orange County, Calif., just hours after a 4.4-magnitude temblor and several aftershocks struck in nearby Yorba Linda, according to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).
"It's all just part of the normal seismic activity of California," John Bellini, a geophysicist for the U.S. Geological Survey told NBC News. "Earthquakes of this size don't cause a lot of damage."
The Orange County quake struck at 9:33 a.m. PT this morning. The night before, at 11:23 p.m., a 4.4-magnitude quake rattled the Yorba Linda area. At 11:25 p.m., a quake estimated at magnitude 2.7 struck in the same area, centered two miles from Yorba Linda. The third temblor -- a magnitude 1.2 -- struck at about 11:41 p.m. and was centered one mile from Yorba Linda.
Five more quakes followed in the next 50 minutes, USGS reported. All of them were within two miles of Yorba Linda and ranged from magnitude 1.4 to 2.1.

The Orange County quake's epicenter was located five miles from Placentia, six miles from Chino Hills, and eight miles from Orange.
There were no injuries or damage immediately reported following the quake, Bellini said, adding that many people may not even notice an earthquake of this size.
After Tuesday night's quakes, all fire resources were placed in "Emergency Earthquake Mode," Matt Spence of the Los Angeles Fire Department said in an email statement.
Firefighters from all 106 neighborhood stations on Tuesday night were surveying 470 square miles in the Greater Los Angeles area, Spence said, inspecting residential buildings, schools, powerlines and transportation infrastructures.
By 12:15 a.m., the Emergency Earthquake Mode was lifted and fire officials said they did not find any signficant damage or reports of injuries.
Hundreds of NBCLosAngeles.com Twitter followers and Facebook fans reported feeling the Yorba Linda quake.

"Strong jolts in Whittier. Not looking forward to any after shocks," YeaMe Ceazon wrote on the NBCLA Facebook page.
The shallow quake was felt from the Inland Empire to the coast. Residents in Fontana, Anaheim, Torrance, Hollywood, Long Beach and Burbank also reported feeling the quake.
"I suddenly heard a loud thud coming from what sounded like the roof on my garage and then the whole garage started shaking and creaking," said Jose, in Burbank.
"I started to feel my bed shake and I was like, not again, and then I heard it pop, like a popping sound. And it just kept shaking, shaking, shaking and soon as I got up to get dressed it stopped," said Daphne, in Bellflower.
"I was lying on my livingroom floor of my mobile home in Hermosa Beach, watching the Olympics, when I felt some distinct shaking, light shaking, but it felt like a steady 10-second or so shaking," Karen told NBCLosAngeles.com in an email.

Dave Anderson - Memory Foam Mattress
Dave Anderson - Memory Foam Mattress
Edition of 25. Giclee print on 175gsm Colourplan. Signed and numbered by the artist. 42 x 29.7cm.
Illustrator, Cartoonist, daft bugger and welsh person, Dave Anderson has been a firm fave here at 'KIN for many years. He has been compared to David Shrigley (rather lazily in our opinion) but for us he bares as much comparison to Gary Larson's sharp wit and sense of the ridiculous. The simplicity of his drawings and the directness of his captions have been a firm favourite at the Art Car Boot Fair for years. Currently residing in Lima, Peru on a "how to draw llamas" course.

Decided to wear it and see how I felt in it. Wow, did people give me compliments on the color. It is more of a tomato red, but with the turquoise mix, it really is a gorgeous blouse. Love love love it

Rated 3 out of 5 by Rk123 from Great Material I ADORED last year's version on this blouse. It fell perfectly on my 5'7" frame. Sleeve length, shirt length were incredible. The 2019 'perfect' blouse falls too short, it looks much better on short women. Still love the material, disappointed in the cut.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Patti M from Miss the old style Sorry but I miss the old style with the buttons & all cuff. It both had to be ironed, which I've never had to do. They are still wrinkled. They will have to go to the cleaners before they are acceptable to wear. Sorry but I'm not a fan of the 'new' blouses

Rated 3 out of 5 by Texas Heat from Not the perfect blouse. I bought my usual NYDJ blouse and it was huge. I exchanged it for the next smaller size and I could barely put it down. Not to mention that it is much shorter than my previously purchased NYDJ tops. Loved the print of the fabric however.
Date published: 2019-03-10
Rated 5 out of 5 by PamB from Smart looking Perfect blouse! This blouse has lots of colors in it to go with everything. It is a great fit... not too loose or too tight. It falls to my hip. I got the small as I'm 5' 3". I'm very happy with it.

Classic Stage Company Presents A DOCTOR IN SPITE OF HIMSELF Reading Today
Classic Stage Company, under the leadership of Artistic Director Brian Kulick and Executive Director Greg Reiner, will present a private reading of a new musical comedy A DOCTOR IN SPITE OF HIMSELF by Sheldon Harnick, based on Molière's LE MÉDECIN MALGRÉ LUI, today, February 1 at MTC Studios. The musical features a score by Harnick, as well as English Adaptation and Additional Dialogue. The reading will be directed by David Glenn Armstrong, with musical direction by Amanda Morton. The cast will feature Ben Davis, Beth Fowler, David Garrison, Cady Huffman, Charles Kimbrough, Jose Llana, Patrick Richwood, Robb Sapp and Elena Shaddow.
Sheldon Harnick's musical theatre career began in the 1950s with songs (e.g. "The Boston Beguine," "Merry Little Minuet") in revues on and Off-Broadway. In 1957 he teamed with Jerry Bock to create the scores for a number of memorable musicals including Fiorello (Tony Award, Pulitzer Prize), She Loves Me (Grammy), Fiddler on the Roof (Tony), The Rothschilds and The Apple Tree. His other musicals include Rex (with Richard Rodgers), A Wonderful Life (Joe Raposo), A Christmas Carol (Michel Legrand), The Phantom Tollbooth (Arnold Black and co-librettist Norton Juster) and Dragons (for which he wrote book, lyrics and music). He has contributed songs to the films The Heartbreak Kid, Blame It on Rio (Cy Coleman) and Aaron's Magic Village (Legrand). In the world of opera, he has provided librettos for Jack Beeson's Cyrano, Dr. Heidegger's Fountain of Youth and Captain Jinks of the Horse Marines, Henry Mollicone's Coyote Tales and Thomas Z. Shepard's Love in Two Countries. Mr. Harnick has won two Tony Awards, two Grammy Awards, three gold records and a platinum record. He is a longtime member of the Dramatists Guild and Songwriters Guild.
David Glenn Armstrong (Director) has staged over 160 productions and workshops seen in 49 states including work at the New York Shakespeare Festival, Walnut Street, Manhattan Theatre Club, Long Wharf, Goodspeed Opera, Library of Congress, Chicago Humanities Festival, Amas, HERE, NYMF, Arkansas Rep, Anchorage Opera, Pacific Rep Opera, and the Iowa Shakespeare Festival. He has previously directed presentations of Sheldon Harnick's A Doctor in Spite of Himself at the William Inge Festival and the York Theatre. David directed the first-ever revivals of Jerry Bock, Sheldon Harnick, and Joe Stein's The Body Beautiful (and co-produced the original cast recording), Arlen/Gershwin/Harburg's Life Begins at 8:40, Lerner & Loewe's The Day Before Spring, Jones & Schmidt's Roadside, Lindsay & Crouse's Happy Hunting, and a revised version of Joe Stein's Plain and Fancy. In addition, David has directed premieres by Jonathan Larson, Lamont Dozier, Ed Dixon, Sam Davis, Jack Lechner, Steven Fisher, Joan Ross Sorkin, Rich Orloff, Judith Steir, Jack Gindi, Bill Zeffiro, Lanie Bernes, and Si Kahn. www.DavidGlennArmstrong.com
CSC began its current season with Anton Chekhov's IVANOV, starring Ethan Hawke, Joely Richardson and Juliet Rylance, directed by Austin Pendleton. Previews begin February 8 for its new production of Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine's PASSION, directed by John Doyle, and featuring Judy Kuhn, Melissa Errico and Ryan Silverman. CSC's Mainstage season wraps up in May with Bertolt Brecht's THE CAUCASIAN CHALK CIRCLE starring Christopher Lloyd and featuring a new score by Tony Award-winning singer/songwriter Duncan Sheik (Spring Awakening). Directed by Brian Kulick (who directed this past season's sold-out production of Brecht's Galileo starring F. Murray Abraham at CSC), Brecht's playful parable calls into question our basic assumptions of right in a world that has gone wrong.
Classic Stage Company is the award-winning theatre committed to re-imagining the classical repertory for a contemporary American audience. Founded in 1967, CSC uses works of the past as a way to engage in the issues of today. Highly respected and widely regarded as a major force in American theatre, it has become the home to New York's finest established and emerging artists, the place where they gather to grapple with the great works of the world's repertory from Sophocles to Sondheim. CSC has been cited repeatedly by all the major Off-Broadway theater awards: Obies, Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle, Drama League and the 1999 Lucille Lortel Award for Outstanding Body of Work.
Last season, CSC presented critically-acclaimed productions of The Cherry Orchard with John Turturro and Dianne Wiest, which received the Lucille Lortel Award for Outstanding Revival; Bertolt Brecht's Galileo starring Academy Award-winner F. Murray Abraham, directed by Brian Kulick; and Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream with Bebe Neuwirth and Christina Ricci, directed by Tony Speciale. Past seasons have included critically-acclaimed productions of Chekhov's Three Sisters with Maggie Gyllenhaal, Jessica Hecht, Juliet Rylance and Peter Sarsgaard, directed by Austin Pendleton (Obie Award); David Ives' The School for Lies with Hamish Linklater (Obie Award), directed by Walter Bobbie; Unnatural Acts, conceived and directed by Tony Speciale; Ostrovsky's The Forest with Dianne Wiest and John Douglas Thompson, directed by Brian Kulick; David Ives' Venus In Fur with Nina Arianda and Wes Bentley, directed by Walter Bobbie; Shakespeare's The Tempest with Mandy Patinkin, directed by Brian Kulick; Chekhov's Uncle Vanya with Denis O'Hare, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Peter Sarsgaard, directed by Austin Pendleton; Anne Carson's An Oresteia (International PEN Award for Poetry); Chekhov's The Seagull with Dianne Wiest and Alan Cumming; David Ives' New Jerusalem with Richard Easton, directed by Walter Bobbie; Hamlet, Richard II, Richard III with Michael Cumpsty (Obie Award as Hamlet), directed by Brian Kulick; and Yasmina Reza's A Spanish Play with Zoe Caldwell, directed by John Turturro.

As I sit perusing my own pedigree chart and family group records, I stumble across the name, William BRADFORD. He is my 12th great-grandfather and former governor of the Massachusetts Colony who came to America on the Mayflower. Like many of his descendants, I am both proud and humbled to be counted among his progeny. His sacrifice and leadership were part of the foundation of freedom that many enjoy in the United States.
Looking back again at the pedigree, I begin to see much clearer what has made these pilgrims so revered. It was not only the sacrifices they made to leave hearth and home in their mother country, but would it not also be at least in part because of the posterity who would descend from them?
I then glance at the family photograph of my wife and our children. As I look at each one of them, I begin to see where the real claim to fame lies—within our children! My wife and I have always tried our best to teach and provide support with love. Thankfully, they have achieved much success in their lives and we are so proud of every one of them!
Could it be said that some of the greatness of our ancestors is realized from what the descendants may do?

It was originally slated for October 2012, then rescheduled to May 2013. DoE said the extra time would allow it to incorporate lessons from round one and update the request for proposals (RFP).
The team had been "inundated" with questions, the DoE said, and now needs to amalgamate the resulting amendments in the RFP. The delay would also give potential candidates sufficient time to review the revised documents.
The DoE also wants to take account of the additional 1.47GW of wind capacity announced in October.
The new RFP should be published in February. Because of the changes, registration for round three will be reopened.
So far 1196MW of wind capacity has been awarded in the first two bidding rounds.

Postseason Play Remains Possible for Yale in Ivy League's Wide-Open Rolfe Division

NEW HAVEN, Conn. — Despite its current 12-game losing streak, postseason play remains a strong possibility for the Yale University baseball team, which begins play this weekend against the first opponent from the Ivy League's Red Rolfe Division when its fiercest rival, Harvard, visits Yale Field for a pair of doubleheaders that begin at 1 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.
The Bulldogs currently stand at 6-24-1 overall, 0-8 in the Ivy League standings, but they are only four games behind Rolfe Division leader Dartmouth, which is currently 4-4 in Ivy League play. With 12 games remaining against Rolfe Division opponents, anything can happen, and a strong showing against Harvard this weekend would keep Yale in the mix for the division title.
Unfortunately, the 12 straight losses do not tell the complete story of the Bulldogs' recent play. In fact, they have been in contention to win nearly every one of those losses, with nine of them coming by three runs or less. In fact, if the breaks had fallen in Yale's favor this season, there are at least six games, all ending in one-run losses, which easily could have gone in favor of the Bulldogs, changing the season's current outlook.
The good news is the Bulldogs have looked like a much better team of late than their record shows. When the team was no-hit against Hartford on March 24, that loss started the current losing streak, but rock bottom came a week later after a doubleheader sweep by Penn when the Bulldogs' team batting average dropped to .221, the lowest it had been since the season-opening doubleheader at Virginia Tech.
Since then, the Bulldogs are hitting 61-for-207 (.295) while holding opponents to a combined .278 average.
None of the Bulldogs have come through more than sophomore shortstop Cale Hanson. He will enter the weekend holding a 29-game streak of reaching base at least once. For the season, Hanson is hitting .359 with seven doubles, 14 walks, 11 runs scored and six RBIs. He is leading the team in batting average, slugging percentage (.427), on-base percentage (.441), total hits (37), doubles, walks, total bases (44), and stolen bases (5).
But since the bats have started to come around, Hanson isn't the only Bulldog that is proving to be a danger in the lineup.
None of the Yale bats have broken through more than senior captain Ryan Brenner. Brenner was mired in a 4-for-31 slump (.129) with nine hitless games during that 12-game stretch. In the seven games since, Brenner is hitting 11-for-21 (.524) with three doubles, four runs scored, and five out of his eight RBIs this season.
Others have also come through for the Bulldogs. In the last seven games, Chris Piwinski is 8-for-21 (.381) with a triple and a double, two RBIs, and three runs scored. Over that same stretch, freshman David Toups is 9-for-24 (.375) with a pair of doubles. Jacob Hunter is 6-for-12 (.500) with two doubles in his last four games, while Joe Lubanski is 5-for-16 (.313) in his last six games.
With 12 Rolfe Division games remaining on the schedule, the bats have started to come through at the perfect time.
Three of the Rolfe Division teams have won just six games so far this season, including Yale, Brown (6-21) and Harvard (6-24). Dartmouth is 9-14 overall. The struggles by all four teams this season leaves the Rolfe Division wide open over the final two weeks of the regular season.
Harvard enters the weekend hitting .272 with a team ERA of 4.95. The Crimson has scored just 104 runs while opponents have tallied 174 runs. Harvard's leading hitter is Jake McGuiggan, who is hitting .329 (24-for-73) with six doubles, a home run, and a team-high 14 RBIs.
Harvard enters the weekend with four losses in its last five games. However, the lone win in that stretch was a 5-2 win over Boston College that put the Crimson into the Beanpot championship game.
The Crimson started the season with 16 losses in its first 17 games.
All of that equals a great opportunity that awaits the Bulldogs this weekend. If the bats keep improving, the weekend could be the start of a great finish to the 2012 season for the Bulldogs.

Apple Inc. has fired the manager responsible for its troubled mapping software, seeking to win back the trust of users disappointed after the program debuted in September, according to people familiar with the move.
Richard Williamson, who oversaw the mapping team, was pushed out by Senior Vice President Eddy Cue, said the people, who asked not to be named because the information wasn't yet public. Cue, who took over last month as part of a management shakeup, is seeking advice from outside mapping-technology experts and prodding digital maps provider TomTom NV to fix landmark and navigation data it shares with Apple.
Critics have faulted Apple's new map software for unreliable landmark searches, routes that get users lost and lack of public transit directions. Cue is seeking to build confidence in the program amid a growing battle with Google Inc., whose mapping application had been built into Apple's iPhone since its introduction in 2007. Google is now preparing to unveil rival downloadable apps for Apple's mobile devices.
While Apple's map program doesn't appear to have hurt sales of the iPhone 5, it was a rare public misstep that forced Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook to apologize to customers.
Trudy Muller, a spokeswoman for Apple, declined to comment on Cue's moves. She referred to the statement Cook issued in September that said the mapping software will improve as more customers use it and more data can be gathered.
"We are extremely sorry for the frustration this has caused our customers and we are doing everything we can to make maps better," Cook said in the statement.
Fixing Flaws
In removing Williamson, Cue wants to install a new leadership team for the group, one person said. A replacement for Williamson wasn't immediately known. Attempts to reach Williamson weren't successful.
Apple shares slipped less than 1% to US$586.81 at 2:01 p.m. in New York. The stock has gained 45% so far this year.
A team at Apple has been working to fix the mapping mistakes, focusing first on some of the most glaring problems, one person said. The satellite imagery over the U.K. has been improved and labels for popular U.S. landmarks such as the Washington Monument have been corrected.
The new version of Apple's iOS mobile software removed Google's built-in maps app in favor of its own, which added new features such as turn-by-turn navigation and fly-over views of landscapes. IOS software runs iPhones and iPads, which compete with smartphones and tablets that run Google's Android operating system.
Replacement Program
Apple, which also eliminated the preinstalled app for Google's YouTube video service, built the replacement map program because it wanted to scale back its relationship with Google, two people familiar with Apple's development of maps said in September.
The company's bungled introduction of new mapping features contributed to the ouster of mobile-software chief Scott Forstall, whose departure was announced in October. As part of the management overhaul, Cue — who oversees Apple's iTunes, App Store and iCloud services — was also put in charge of maps and the Siri voice-recognition tool, bringing all of the company's online services under one group.
This isn't the first time Cue has taken on a troubled product. Apple co-founder Steve Jobs had him oversee the MobileMe Internet-storage service after a series of miscues, including a glitch that prevented customers from accessing their e-mail. That service was recently closed and replaced with iCloud.
Cue, who started his career at Apple in the company's internal information-technology department, became a close confidant of Jobs. As head of iTunes, he spearheaded many of the negotiations with music, television and movie companies. He's also leading the company's effort to add more video content for a potential new television product, people familiar with the internal deliberations said earlier this year.

Published in the Graduate Report, Spring/Summer 2012
It took Michael Lynch '12 four-and-half years to earn his J.D. from UConn Law – and for good reason. While his classmates were finishing their course work and preparing for the bar exam, Lynch, a captain in the Connecticut Army National Guard, was in Laghman Provence, Afghanistan commanding a 180-person infantry company in support of Operation Enduring Freedom X, an assignment for which he was awarded a Bronze Star. "I'm not sure who was in the tougher situation, my classmates or me," says Lynch, chuckling.
For Lynch, serving his country thousands of miles from his hometown of Springfield, Massachusetts was hardly a new experience. Since beginning active duty in the United States Army after graduating from Fordham University in 2001, he led soldiers in support of a NATO peacekeeping mission in Bosnia-Herzegovina; assisted in the command of a 134-man rifle company deployed in combat in Iraq for fourteen months (for which he won a second Bronze Star); and commanded a specialized infantry training team that traveled throughout the U.S. instructing and certifying soldiers, sailors, airmen and Department of State personnel for deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Lynch's interest in the military has its roots in London, where he spent a postgraduate year at Dulwich College before heading off to Fordham. "Because I was the only American out of a thousand or so students, my house master encouraged me to join this junior cadet program so I could make friends outside of the twenty or thirty boarders in my house," he recalls. "I was a Grateful Dead kind of guy in high school, but I gave it a whirl. I absolutely fell in love with it."
Lynch's love for the military blossomed at Fordham, which he attended on an Army ROTC academic scholarship. As graduation approached in the spring of 2001, he looked forward to active duty. "When I started my training at Fort Benning (GA), I was young and headed to Hawaii for my first assignment, which I thought was really awesome," he says. "Then September 11 happened. That changed everything."
According to Lynch, it was during his six years (2001-2007) on active duty with the 25th Infantry Division and the 306th Infantry that he first had serious thoughts of being an attorney. "My initial experience in Bosnia and later in Iraq really opened my eyes to the importance of the rule of law and just how lucky we are to live in a country where corruption is the exception rather than the rule, and where violence is swiftly punished, not condoned," he says. "Those two experiences are really what shaped my interest in law school."
Within a month after completing his stint in the Army in July 2007, Lynch started classes at UConn Law – and signed on with the Connecticut Army National Guard. While he fully recognized the possibility of being redeployed "somewhere dangerous," he didn't think it would happen before he had his J.D. firmly in hand. That's not how it turned out. Soon after completing his second year at the Law School, Uncle Sam called him up for another tour. "I would have graduated in the spring of 2010 had I not gone back on active duty," says Lynch. "Instead, I graduated in January 2012."
Lynch notes that he found the transition from the deserts of Afghanistan back to law school as difficult as his transition from law school to the Army, where he had made many life-long friends. "I had a hard time adjusting to the fact that my Law School classmates were already lawyers – and I wasn't," he says, pausing. "I eventually had to let it go…Looking back, I wouldn't have done anything any differently."
Lynch is quick to point out that the Law School faculty and staff were highly supportive with regard to helping him make the difficult transition back to the classroom. "Lisa Rodino (UConn Law's registrar) helped sign me up for all of my classes while I was still in Afghanistan, and Jane Brown (director of student affairs) made the whole leave-of-absence process absolutely seamless. They were simply amazing."
Today, approximately eighteen months after returning to the beauty – and safety – of the Law School campus, Lynch has joined his classmates in the practice of law. In March 2012 he began work as an associate at Garcia & Milas, P.C., where he focuses primarily on construction litigation work. When not putting in long days at his New Haven office, he and his "absolutely amazing" wife, Eleana, whom he starting dating only three weeks before they graduated from Fordham, are busy caring for their two 95-pound rescue dogs, Casey and Damon, at their West Hartford home.
Keeping with his love of country and the military, Lynch continues to serve in the Connecticut Army National Guard, a commitment that requires him to be on duty one weekend per month and for a two-week hitch every summer. Does that mean he can be ordered back in harm's way in the midst of his budding legal career? "Absolutely," says Lynch, who has no plans to retire from the service. "It comes with the job."

text: I need help with identifying some weird noises coming from my 2006 mazda 3. The first noise sounds like a deep howl as I am driving and increases as the speed increases. It sounds like I have monster tires on my car when I do not. Plus the tires were new this year. The second noise sounds like a combination of a vacuum sucking up water with a gurgling sound. I don't understand the second noise since 2000 kilometers ago I had an oil change. Would anyone know what this could be?. I also noticed a burning like clutch smell when I parked the car. I hope this is an easy fix.
