Knoxville, Tenn. – The University of Tennessee announced Thursday that Mike Vollmar has been named senior associate athletics director for football administration. Vollmar joins the Vols from Michigan, where he spent the last two years as the associate athletic director for football.
"Mike brings a wealth of firsthand knowledge and expertise to this role," said Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics Dave Hart. "Our athletics program is fortunate to have him join our Executive Staff while also providing outstanding administrative leadership within our football program."
Vollmar is a veteran of 25 years in college athletics and was in his second stint with the Wolverines, beginning his career with a three-year stint (1988-90) working in recruiting and administration in Ann Arbor. Before his recent time at Michigan, he worked three seasons at Alabama (2008-10), where he oversaw the administration of the football program during a time in which the Crimson Tide went 36-5 and won the 2009 BCS National Championship.
"We are extremely excited to welcome the Vollmar family into the Tennessee football family," said head football coach Butch Jones. "Mike is well-respected in our profession and brings great knowledge and credibility based on his experience with multiple high-profile football programs."
Vollmar also worked for five years at Syracuse (1991-95), during which time the Orangemen finished 41-15-1 with three bowl victories. He was responsible for oversight of recruiting and administration during that time, and four players recruited during his tenure were named to the Syracuse All-Century Team (Donovan McNabb, Kevin Abrams, Donovan Darius, and Kevin Johnson).
Vollmar then spent 12 years at Michigan State (1996-2007) as assistant athletic director and director of football operations, overseeing all phases of the Spartan football program's operations while also managing construction of a new football facility. The Spartans appeared in six bowl games during his tenure.
"It was an absolute privilege to work with Coach Hoke and the entire football staff at Michigan, and I'm very appreciative of the opportunity they afforded me," said Vollmar. "That said it is an honor for me and my family to join the University of Tennessee as I further my career professionally.
"Having worked with Dave Hart for three years previously, I am confident great things are in store for UT Athletics, and with the reputation Coach Jones has built in a short amount of time, I know Tennessee Football has a bright future as well. My family and I are excited to be Tennessee Volunteers."
Vollmar is from Riverview, Mich., and graduated with a degree in history with a minor in speech communications in 1988 from Siena Heights University in Adrian, Mich., where he competed as a pole vaulter on the Saints' track and field team. He also has a master's degree in sports management from the United States Sports Academy in 1999. He and his wife, Tami, have a daughter, Bailey Lauren.

Caleb Paine (USA) rounded off an exceptional week's sailing by winning the enthralling Finn medal race at the ISAF Sailing World Cup Miami to take the gold medal from London 2012 Olympians Greg Douglas (CAN) and Jorge Zarif (BRA).
Paine had led from the first day and it never really looked as if he was heading for any other result. Five race wins from the 11 race series in fantastic sailing conditions gives him his second ISAF World Cup event win, after taking the Delta Lloyd Regatta last year. Runner-up Douglas had picked up an OCS in race three that left him struggling to make the podium, but he turned it around in the second half of the week with a string of top threes, including two race wins. Bronze medalist Jorge Zarif also sailed a great week after a conservative start and proved very fast on the downwinds.
One of the more intriguing storylines of the week was the return of Bruno Prada (BRA). The Brazilian 2011 Star World Champion and 2012 Olympic bronze medalist made the move back into the Finn three months ago and has been working hard to get re-adjusted to the boat. Before the regatta he said, "My objective in Miami is to hit the medal race and continue to improve. I'll be sailing all the big regattas this year, including the World Championship in Estonia." He certainly opened well, winning the first race, and was only once out of the top 10.
After Prada won the opening race, Paine won the next three to take and maintain the overall lead. The youngsters continued to dominate on the third and fourth days with Paine, Douglas and Zarif sharing the race wins. Brendan Casey (AUS) was also in the mix, with a string of top three placings keeping him in a podium slot, but it all went wrong for the world No, 1, and ISAF Sailing World Cup Melbourne winner, on day four. He picked up his second yellow flag for rocking and ended up with a DNE score of 29 points, which ended all chances of a consecutive ISAF Sailing World Cup victory.
It was perhaps a small consolation that he bounced back on the final day of the opening series to win both races, but in spite of that Paine extended his lead over Douglas to 10 points and over Zarif to 15 points. Paine had done enough to secure a medal, just the colour was to be decided.
Saturday's medal race was sailed in slightly lighter winds than most of the week, with a shifty 10-12 knots, and warm sunshine. With only Douglas and Zarif capable of beating Paine for the overall title going into the medal race, he kept them firmly behind him throughout.
The first upwind dominated by Douglas and Casey, but Paine came through on the downwind to round the gate ahead of Douglas, Lauri Väinsalu (EST) and Casey. In fact Vainsalu was the fastest man first downwind. He picked up four places and was just behind the leaders at the gate. The top three extended on the second upwind, with Casey not far behind and the final downwind turned into a big battle between the top three, all finishing within seconds of each other. In the end Paine took the race win from Vainsalu and Douglas to take a magnificent gold medal that will set him up nicely for the important season ahead.. Casey was only around 10 seconds further back. It was very close.
Casey was impressed with the new wave of talent in the Finn class. He said after day four, "I've come to Miami to race against the world's best that are currently sailing to see where I stack up. I'm 35 years of age now, so I'm probably at the tail end of my sailing, but I'm still very competitive. The younger guys like Caleb Paine are at the start of their sailing journey and Greg Douglas too. Those are the two guys to watch out for in the future."
For Väinsalu, fourth place was a victory against adversity following a serious knee injury in last year's medal race that took him out for most of the 2012 season. He said, "It has been a hard year for me so it's been a good week and a good result was something I needed badly. It was tight and high level sailing all week. This was the regatta where I wanted to see where I'm at after the injury and I was sailing well most of the week. I had bad day at the end but I finished up with a good medal race and managed to take the maximum I could from here."
And the knee? "I can't say it's 100% healed. They repaired the meniscus instead of cutting it out so that's why it's taking longer to heal. I have been going to physiotherapy, but in general it doesn't hurt me and I can do everything I need, but it's not as strong as it was yet."
"For me Miami is the perfect place to start the new season. With the Finn Midwinters in Fort Lauderdale and Miami OCR I can do two high level competitions. Also I have a good friend Gordon Lamphere here I can train with. He also provides us with boats and a coach in Darrell Peck. So good high level training and coaching is always guaranteed."
Runner up Douglas had this to say. "I'm happy with how the week went. I started the week a little bit off the pace but I was able to remain focused and improve during the week. Caleb Paine sailed very well during the week and didn't give me much of a chance to catch him at the end."
Douglas has been juggling college and training for the past few months but feels he has made valuable progress since the Olympics. "This winter we have being working on the basics to get everything ready for this season. Being in school and sailing is tough but I have a good balance this fall and winter which allows me to do both."
"I have made some improvements in my game from last year, I have been working on my boat handling and downwinds with my coach Chris Cook. We have a really good training group right now which is mostly youngsters. As a group we feel that we have the opportunity to make a big leap this year so we have been extremely focused. We are ready to show the world what we can do."

It's Moving Time!
The new blog is complete, so it's time to move.
I've enjoyed my time here at Fire Joe Torre. I sincerely believe that Joe Torre still needs to be fired (and I'm sure that you'll hear me rail him a few times a month), but the blog name is tired. I'd like to thank all of my loyal readers for their email, comments, and attentions.
The new blog is "Pinstripes Potentials" and is located at yankeeprospects.blogspot.com. All 37 prospect profiles have been moved over, and I have just posted the profile of Salvage Project Andy Cannizaro. Change your bookmarks!


text:
The town doctor, coming home from his appointed rounds, is thrown from his horse by a trip-wire concealed in the road. The local baronial landowner's son disappears, then is found bound and whipped. The baron's cabbage crop is destroyed. A window is left open, letting cold night air into the room where the steward's newborn child sleeps. The wife of a tenant farmer falls through rotted floorboards of a sawmill and perishes. The barn of the manor house is set ablaze in the night and burns to the ground. A farmer hangs himself. The local pastor's beloved pet canary is killed.
At the center of the bizarre events are the children who attend the local church and school, their families, and the village schoolteacher. Suspicion falls upon the children -- our suspicion, that is; as well as that of the schoolteacher, who, a typical Haneke character, equivocates in this knowledge. The events take on eerie aspects of ritual punishment. But the mystery remains unsolved... who is responsible for the transgressions? What motives or forces underlie these strange happenings?
The restrictions and disciplines imposed by the parents upon the children of the village are humiliating and cruel. The pastor forces two of his children to wear a white ribbon, visible symbol of their lost innocence. He whips his oldest son behind closed doors, and orders his hands tied at night to keep him from masturbating. In an especially unsettling cut we are given briefly to think we are seeing the pastor sodomizing his son. Instead the next shot reveals that what we are seeing is the doctor having sex with the midwife. (If this hint of incest proves a false one, we are shortly given sure evidence of the real thing occurring between different parties on the doctor's examining couch.)
In The White Ribbon, as often with Haneke, guilt is the subject. And it is not merely left to the spectator to determine where the guilt may lie; there is also a persistent, nagging sense that the direction of accusation has been reversed, and the audience itself has become anxiously complicit in some central unsolved crime. It was Haneke's leaving open this possibility of a shared responsibility for a crime that caused audiences to depart so uneasily from his masterpiece Caché.
The White Ribbon is shot in starkly magnificent black and white monochrome, tonally resonant with its often grimly Grimm-like parabolic subject matter. (Its German sub-title is Eine Deutsche Kindergeschichte, or "A German Children's Story"; the child actors in the film are mostly nonprofessionals, chosen for their resemblance to a desired historical "look"; Haneke has said 7000 schoolchildren were interviewed for the fifteen children's roles in the film.) The films it most closely evokes in tone and visual style are Dreyer's Ordet and certain works of Bresson like Pickpocket and Diary of a Country Priest. But the exalted spiritual dimensions of a Dreyer or a Bresson have no corollary in Haneke's frigid, fallen universe. (Asked about whether he believes in God, the director is to have said he would no more answer such a question than speak about his private sexual practices.)
The film is the product of an idea Haneke has shaped over two decades. It is plain that the children we are seeing are to be understood as the generation who would become the audience of Hitler. In interviews the Austrian director has made no secret of the fact that he constructed his film as a study of the origins of Fascism. "I chose this period in this country because I think it offers the [sources of] the most prominent horror in any country at any time. I think German people should see it as a film about Germany. But in other countries people should see it as a film about their own countries."
It's a film about the growth of "absolute ideologies," Haneke says. "A children's choir in Protestant Germany elevates their parents' preachings to the level of an absolute ideology and then judges their parents on the basis of that ideology."
As always with Haneke, the problematics of the work are meticulously applied at the level of scene construction. The audience, Haneke assumes, wants to know who's guilty. "I always try to construct my stories in such a way that a number of different explanations [of events] are possible. I give the spectator all possible freedom to construct the story."
Haneke's method is identifiable from film to film. Show only what is essential. Come into a scene late, exit early. Leave out more than you put in. A Haneke ellipsis can be a precipice that slips off into an abyss of uncertainty. "I excite the imagination of the spectator through everything I don't show, all the questions I don't answer."
The White Ribbon's Narrator (the village schoolteacher, looking back in later years) reveals at the outset of the film that he too may be in the dark about the events which he is to unfold for us:
"I don't know if the story I'm about to tell you is true in all respects. Some of it I know only from hearsay..."
It must be honestly admitted that the extended durations and hanging questions of the work, the resolute refusal of solution and closure, the studied wide-angle framings and the chilly black and whites, render The White Ribbon somewhat less than... a New Years Eve date movie?
Haneke's film is nearly three hours long and builds slowly. In its last hour an intensity accumulates and the always coolly distanced camera eye gradually achieves a cruelty and coldness similar to that warily trained upon one another by the villagers themselves: capturing them without mercy, as in a petri dish. This is a town where "apathy, envy, brutality and malice" (as the baron's unhappy wife, taking her departure, puts it) are all there is.
In the final scenes of the film many takes are extended. In Haneke's hands the inherent melancholy of the time-expanding long take is complicated by shivers of irony. As the damned children of the village of the damned lounge by a stream in carefully feigned nonchalance between violent depredations, we are perhaps seeing tomorrow's Hitler youth in their first expectant days. The film ends with the assassination of the Archduke Ferdinand at Sarajevo, sutured into history by Michael Haneke with brilliance and care and reverberating unanswered questioning.

|Main Screen + Linux Mint Menu
I tested the live session of the 64-bit version using a live USB made with MultiSystem. Follow the jump to see if this is a worthy successor to what I have been using thus far.
After the boot menu, I was greeted by a blank screen for the boot splash, as has become standard for Linux Mint. After that came the desktop, which really hasn't changed from previous versions, so I won't discuss it much. That statement alone is a testament to how well MATE replicates every aspect of GNOME 2. The only difference is that the nice indicator applet menus pioneered by Ubuntu around 2009 are not present, and in their place are the old, click-on-individual-icon applets from GNOME 2. This means that I cannot click on one applet and simply move the mouse to activate another; I must click on the other applet to gain its focus. That's a little too much of a throwback for me; I personally prefer the smooth operation of the indicator applets, and I hope they will be properly ported to MATE.
|Mozilla Firefox
Other installed programs include LibreOffice, Mozilla Thunderbird, and others. Furthermore, some of the desktop configuration tools made by Linux Mint for GNOME 2 have been ported over to MATE.
Compiz is included, but there is no apparent way to start it (other than by adding "compiz --replace" to the list of startup applications) or configure it. I had to install things like the CompizConfig Settings Manager, and after doing so I found out that the desktop cube problem still has not been fixed. Furthermore, Emerald is nowhere to be found in the repositories, so the only other window decorator is the GTK Window Decorator which looks pretty bad (if you ask me) and is not really customizable.
|LibreOffice Writer + Caja + Desktop Cube
Skype could not be installed properly due to a particular repository not loading correctly. That's a major issue in my book, although I suppose if I had tried at a different time, it might have installed correctly. That said, I did try to rectify the issue by manually downloading the DEB files of the dependencies that failed to download correctly, and while those installed OK, Skype refused to install afterwards due to a different dependency issue.
Thankfully, Google Talk had no such issue. I was able to install and use that just fine.
I know now that Mupen64Plus after version 1.5 no longer has a working GUI. In fact, I apparently knew that many months ago as well because on my installed system, I have pinned Mupen64Plus to be at version 1.5. Anyway, for this, I went to its website, downloaded the TAR package, and followed the instructions to extract and install it. That worked well.
F.lux also does not start properly anymore. Since then, even on my installed system, I have switched to Redshift, which offers even more customization options, though those are through the CLI. That worked well here too.
The MATE System Monitor reported that at idle, with Compiz as the WM in the background, Linux Mint used 580 MB of RAM. That is quite a bit, and surprisingly the memory hog is the GTK Window Decorator for Compiz, much more so than Compiz itself.
That is where my time with Linux Mint ended. Maybe I picked the wrong day to try it, but in my mind, the lack of a working Skype is a deal-breaker. I suppose I can give it a good recommendation but not my highest; this sadly was not exactly the happy ending that I was expecting, so I am also hesitant to make it my new OS. Thankfully, though, I have options, and I have another year to consider said options. The two options into which I am looking the most are Linux Mint 13 LTS "Maya" KDE and SolusOS 2. The first is because it will come with all the goodness of Linux Mint combined with the power of KDE; furthermore, KDE 4.9 looks pretty awesome with the improvements to the interface of Dolphin and the release of the KLook file previewer integrated with Dolphin, and I can use KWin and its effects natively instead of using a kludge to get Compiz 0.8.6 to work. The second is because it will ship with a heavily modified GNOME 3 that should work with both GNOME 2 applets and Compiz, so using those along with Nautilus and GNOME Sushi means I will be able to carry over my desktop essentially unchanged. I now eagerly await the release of the KDE edition of Linux Mint!
(UPDATE: Indeed, yesterday was a bad day. Today, I tried out the Skype thing again because I hadn't done anything to the live USB and I needed it so it could recognize my ethernet connection because the wireless connection on my installed system was very flaky today. It worked just fine. This makes my opinion of this version of Linux Mint much higher, and the other issues are essentially just minor details. That said, I do still eagerly await the KDE edition of Linux Mint 13 LTS "Maya", which is incidentally officially in testing now.)

Scholarships established in memory of recent fire victims
Two scholarships have been set up at Liberty University this week to honor the lives of former students who died recently in two separate apartment fires off campus.
|Aaron and Rachael Horton
Aaron Horton, 24, graduated from Liberty with a history degree in 2007. He and his wife Rachael died in a fire on April 8 at their Lynchburg apartment. The Aaron Horton Scholarship Fund will help eligible students who want to major in history.
"After the tragedy and then the funeral, I was thinking of a way I could honor Aaron," said his father, Ken Horton. "He worked so hard and his goal was to come back to Liberty to teach. I was thinking it would be nice to have a scholarship so he would be connected to Liberty, as long as there's a scholarship here."
Chancellor Jerry Falwell, Jr. met with the Hortons this week and said any scholarship funds collected will be matched by Liberty University.
Aaron Horton had just completed his studies for a master's in Ancient History and Classical Studies from the University of Wales. Barbara Horton said history was her son's passion.
"He loved studying. He would soak up any knowledge he could. He read all the time … he had a library full of books on ancient history," she said.
It was an interest that started back in high school. Barbara Horton said when Aaron was a senior, he was looking at a picture on the computer of the Mayan ruins in Mexico and asked her if she thought he'd ever get a chance to visit there one day.
Barbara Horton told her husband, and Aaron's graduation gift that year was a trip with his father to see the ancient site.
"He had no interest in a beach week or anything like that," Barbara Horton said. " … so that was the beginning of it (his passion for history)."
Falwell established a second scholarship for first-semester Liberty student Victor Kwatemba, who died along with his friend, former Liberty student Philemon Abayo Onyango, in a house fire in Lynchburg on May 15. They were both from Kenya. That scholarship will go to a Kenyan student who wants to study at Liberty.

On Thursday night, more than 100 members of the Lynchburg Kenyan community gathered with Liberty representatives and Kenyan embassy officials who came in from Washington, D.C., to honor both Kwatemba and Onyango at Thomas Road Baptist Church's Pate Chapel.
Kwatemba, who came to the United States this year and attended Liberty this spring, was remembered as a man "determined to make a difference."
"We have not only lost a son, we have lost a community treasure," said Evelyn Cheluget, a representative from the Kenyan embassy.
Kwatemba was a computer engineering major.
Onyango was remembered by friends as a man always willing to help although he "could never be outdanced."
Onyango, who worked full time at Mail America, last attended Liberty in 2009.
Both men believed in the saving grace fostered by belief in Jesus Christ.
"In talking to friends and family of Victor and Philemon, they made their reservations in Heaven," said Campus Pastor Dane Emerick, who spoke at the service.
Dr. Jones Kaleli, a Liberty professor, talked about the joy experienced by Kenyan families when they are able to send their young people to college in the United States.
"This is a land of opportunity, where you can become anything you want," he said. "When death takes two of them, it is very devastating."
"There is no question that we are one," said the Rev. Jonathan Falwell, senior pastor of Thomas Road Baptist Church and Liberty's vice chancellor for spiritual affairs. "We stand here today as children of the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords and nothing can separate us, not country, not wars, not nationalities, not color. We worship together, we celebrate together, we feel joy together, and we mourn together … . There is no nation that I would like to be one with than the nation of Kenya."
|Victor Kwatemba and Philemon Onyango were honored in a memorial service in Pate Chapel at Thomas Road Baptist Church on May 19.

Is it sad that the closest video games are able to come to commemorating Veteran's/Armistice/Remembrance Day is the poppy flower featured in the intro to 1993's Amiga classic Cannon Fodder?
It is a little, yeah. Especially when you consider one of the only other games to evoke a feeling of loss and respect for those who died in the First World War is Toy Soldiers, which for all its gut-wrenching symbolism of the brutality of the conflict is, at the end of the day, still a game about little toy soldiers.
It's a strange indictment of the world we live in today that, when the clock strikes eleven and a minute's silence is expected to remember the actual war dead, millions of people will be killing each other on a virtual battlefield for fun. Maybe Ron Parkes had a point after all.

Queen for a day
I'm afraid that once again I'm going to have to post and run... so much to do, so little time. :)
My card today is for two challenges, first up is the Kraftin' Kimmie challenge to use charms. I'll be the first to admit that my little stash of charms is not one of my usual go-to embellishments so I thought this would be a fun one to do. When I started sifting through them the filigree circle first caught my eye and immediately made me think of this cute Princess Petunia stamp. Now a plan was starting to form... I pulled out the sketch for the Tickled Pink challenge this month and new right away that it would be a perfect fit for the theme of my card. Doesn't it kind of look like the 'days of yore' pennants and crests with the four square block design? Add to that the perfect brocade looking papers and I was happily transported back in time to restrictive corsets and a serious lack of indoor plumbing... wait did I say happily? LOL
I still like the card though. ;)
Ok, time for me to get ready for the day... talk to ya later!
Supply list:
cardstock- Bazzill and PTI
paper- My Mind's Eye (So Sophie)
stamps- Kraftin' Kimmie (Princess Petunia and sentiment)
ink- Memento tuxedo black and Colorbox dark brown chalk ink
Prima flowers
Kaiser Craft gems
Paper Trey Ink twine
old charms
Zva tiny pearl
Copic Spica gold glitter pen
Copic markers:
skin- E000, E00, E11, R20
clothes- YG95, YG97, YG99, BG10, BG11, BG13, 0, E40, E41, R14, R17, E08

When cynicism rules the day
Congressional Republicans pushed President Obama as hard as they could to put chained-CPI for Social Security benefits on the table. Obama grudgingly agreed, offering the Republican policy in exchange for concessions from the right on revenue. Liberals, not surprisingly, aren't pleased.
The more remarkable turn came when Rep. Greg Walden (R-Ore.), the chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee who'll oversee his party's 2014 midterm efforts, accused Obama of waging "a shocking attack on seniors," and "trying to balance this budget on the backs of seniors." The president's biggest mistake, according to the Republican, was agreeing to Republicans' terms. By conservative reasoning, Obama should have been more liberal to avoid criticism from the right.
House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) offered a mild rebuke of Walden's antics, but Walden has so far refused to walk back or alter his shameless and rather pathetic attacks. Why? Because he's just playing a post-policy game.
The debate Walden's remarks has set off inside the GOP shows many Republicans harbor deep-seated fears about publicly supporting the entitlement cuts they supposedly back and have demanded Obama and other Democrats embrace since taking control of the House in 2011.
"Walden is doing the right thing for the 30 seats that control the majority of the House, and that's what the mission of NRCC chair is," said Brock McLeary, the president of Harper Polling and a former top political hand at the NRCC.
It's an amazing perspective, isn't it? Cynicism isn't an unfortunate byproduct; it's simply "the right thing" to do. Can there a more transparent example of the post-policy thesis? As Greg Sargent added, "[W]hat you're seeing clearly demonstrated here is a kind of policy nihilism on the part of the GOP that helps explain why addressing the country's problems has become all but impossible."
And, of course, the further manifestation of this post-policy nihilism is a new effort from those on the far-right to attack Obama using liberal talking points.
It's happening more than one might expect. Not only is Walden condemning his own party's Social Security policy with progressive arguments, but as Jon Chait noted, Charles Krauthammer is calling for significant increases in revenue as part of fiscal deal and Matthew Continetti wants the White House to shift its focus to job creation. No, seriously.
[I]t is pretty rich to see his efforts to meet Republicans on their chosen ideological grounds met with a sudden decision by some conservatives to leap back over to Obama's [left] and taunt him from there.
It is, indeed.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — A Nevada jury was asked Wednesday to hold the state's largest health management company responsible for up to $1 billion in damages because two women contracted incurable hepatitis C during treatment at a Las Vegas outpatient medical clinic later blamed for an outbreak called the largest in U.S. history.
In closing arguments, lawyers for plaintiffs Helen Meyer and Bonnie Brunson accused Health Plan of Nevada and parent company Sierra Health Services Inc. executives of disregarding evidence that clinic owner Dr. Dipak Desai had a history of endangering patients at his endoscopy clinics.
"Profits over safety, ladies and gentlemen," attorney Robert Eglet said. "The money people kept the safety questions from the safety people. That is how we ended up with one of the worse medical disasters in U.S. history, right here in this community."
Eglet, representing Brunson and her husband, Carl, and attorney Will Kemp, representing Meyer, want the jury to waive a $350,000 Nevada medical liability cap. Eglet has said they plan to seek up to $1 billion in punitive damages.
Eglet on Wednesday accused the companies of "contracting with cheap, incompetent medical providers, with conscious disregard for the safety of patients." He asked jurors to award $20 million in compensatory damages to Bonnie Brunson and $5 million to Carl Brunson.
Kemp didn't set a dollar figure for Meyer's injuries. He asked jurors to be "fair and reasonable."
The jury will hear closings Thursday from Health Plan of Nevada attorneys, led by D. Lee Roberts Jr. and Larry Scarborough.
They've argued that Desai is responsible for the hepatitis outbreak, not the companies. Since the civil lawsuit was filed, Health Plan of Nevada and Sierra Health Services have become part of United Heathcare, part of publicly traded UnitedHealth Group.
Roberts on Friday filed a 70-page document claiming the defense was prevented from fully presenting evidence that Health Plan of Nevada wasn't liable for the injuries to Meyer and Brunson; that other entities didn't report Desai clinic shortcomings during credentialing visits; and that the defense was blocked from questioning witnesses that would help prove the defense case.
Roberts protested Clark County District Court Judge Timothy Williams's ruling March 13 that Dr. Clifford Carrol, a former Endoscopy Center of Southern Nevada gastroenterologist who treated Meyer, was ineligible to testify in the case.
Carrol was disqualified after telling the judge under oath that while he was waiting outside the courtroom to testify, he overheard a lawyer for the defense summarizing for a reporter that morning's testimony from another witness. Carrol told the judge he felt "unsettled" and intimidated by the prospect that his testimony might be mischaracterized. He said he might change his testimony on the stand.
Roberts argued that Carrol had first-hand knowledge of how Meyer was treated, and his testimony could have helped the defense.
The hepatitis outbreak became public in early 2008, when the Southern Nevada Health District in Las Vegas notified more than 50,000 patients to get tested for blood-borne diseases including AIDS. Local and federal health investigators traced hepatitis C infections of nine people to outpatient procedures conducted in 2007 at endoscopy clinics owned by Desai. Hepatitis C was found in another 105 patients, but those cases were not conclusively linked to Desai clinics.
Meyer and Bonnie Brunson allege that they were infected during procedures at Desai's Endoscopy Center of Southern Nevada in 2005. Carl Brunson's claim against the companies alleges negligence and lack of consortium.
The civil jury of eight people and four alternates has been hearing evidence and testimony for five weeks. They could begin deliberating Thursday.
They'll be asked to determine if, as Eglet and Kemp argue, the companies knew that Desai was cutting safety corners when he won a low-bid contract to provide endoscopy services for patients covered by the companies handling more than 80 percent of the HMO market in and around Las Vegas.
"This case boils down to defendants' failure to look, failure to listen and failure to speak what they knew" about Desai's work performance, Eglet said Wednesday. "They chose to replace a good doctor with a known bad doctor. They could have contracted with safer doctors. They chose profits, not safety."
Desai, once a powerful member of the state Board of Medical Examiners, isn't named in the civil lawsuit. He has denied wrongdoing, declared bankruptcy and surrendered his medical license, but faces trial in state court nest month and federal court in May on separate criminal charges stemming from the outbreak. His lawyers have fought for years to prove that he is so incapacitated by strokes and other physical ailments that he is unfit for trial.
State prosecutors accuse Desai of faking his medical conditions in an attempt to escape prosecution.
Eglet and Kemp won hundreds of millions of dollars in civil judgments in 2011 against pharmaceutical companies they blamed for supplying recklessly large 50 milliliter vials of the powerful anesthetic propofol to Desai clinics. Jurors were told in that case that 10 or 20 milliliter doses were commonly needed for outpatient colonoscopy procedures, and the larger vials were unsafely reused from patient to patient.
Desai and his clinics reached undisclosed settlements with plaintiffs before trial in those cases.

im about to finish the game project that im writing with this past few months , as of the moment, its working properly and for a few weeks im about to have a project defense on my school, thanks to those people here who helped me alot, thanks so much
now i want to ask a question that could be usefull in my future developments, especially with this game,
my game is developed with in component(Frame) JFrame, setting its size , dimensions etc, in common way using its methods,
my question is about versatility, what would be the best way to make my application's frame versatile, for example:
no matter what size of screen(monitor) my frame(My application) will have a dimension relatively to it. it will adjust its size, because before this is my major problem, i was developing an application in my 17' inch monitor, everything was fine, but when i deployed it in a smaller size, it looks awful, i just want to have a guideline how can it be possible to my applications to adjust itself (size/dimension/resolution) to what ever type of environment it will be. i was able to do something to compensate with it using the Toolkit, getting the monitors size, subtracting and adding some numbers on the frame
Maybe the good question will be the ff:
1.) Is there a better way?
2.) Classes to be used
3.) where should i start searching and studying
sorry for the bad english , i hope you understand my thought, any corrections will be appreciated. thanks

These days, stories about airline crew-member meltdowns and traffic controllers asleep on the job are enough to make even the bravest fliers clutch their armrests a little tighter. But despite these unusual incidents, the U.S. airline industry is enjoying one of the safest periods in its history.
"It's really pretty amazing -- not just the year-to-year safety record -- but when you consider that air travel involves doing some fairly risky things, like flying an aircraft in bad weather and all kinds of conditions," says Bill Voss of the Flight Safety Foundation, a nonprofit group focusing on safety research and advocacy.
Although regional airline crashes in 2009, 2006, 2004 and 2003 killed 133 people, the most recent deadly U.S. crash of a large airliner was in 2001, when American Airlines Flight 587 went down in Belle Harbor, New York, killing 265.
In the 1990s there were at least five fatal mid-size or wide-body domestic airline crashes, and in the '80s there were at least three. "We've seen a dramatic improvement since the 1990s," says Voss. "Everybody uses different stats, but you used to have probably between one and two accidents per million departures. Last year we were down to well below one accident per million departures."
It's not overstating it to say the nation has entered an unprecedented era of safer skies, according to industry experts including a former National Transportation Safety Board official.
A combination of improvements introduced and implemented in the '80s and '90s gets credit -- including innovations in pilot training, better sharing of safety solutions, and technological advances.
An electronic on-board system called TCAS, which is aimed at preventing midair collisions, has probably saved countless lives. So has something called ground proximity warning systems, which alert pilots if they're in danger of crashing into the ground when weather makes visibility difficult.
Also developed in the past decades: cockpit resource management -- a fancy term for procedures first developed in the 1980s to help flight crews behave and communicate better to avoid circumstances that could have deadly consequences.
In last month's JetBlue incident during a flight between New York and Las Vegas, Capt. Clayton Osbon began acting erratically, prompting the co-pilot to lock him out of the cockpit.
"I don't know if 15 years ago whether a co-pilot would have had the guts to trick that captain into getting out of the cockpit," says Peter Goelz, former managing director of the National Transportation Safety Board. "That all comes from CRM -- which is saying that everybody's got a responsibility for safety."
"What was a very hierarchical authority-based crew structure back in the early 1980s has been completely overhauled," says Voss."You have a whole new generation of crews that don't even think the same way anymore. They work as a team together, not just in the cockpit, but with the cabin crew."
Air travelers have benefited from vastly improved satellite and weather prediction technology. Pilots and controllers have much more precise data allowing them to more accurately fly around dangerous storms. But weather data systems aren't infallible. Air France Flight 447, from Brazil to Paris, which crashed into the Atlantic in 2009 killing 228, paid a price, says Goelz, because it flew through a storm, while other aircraft avoided it.
Heavy news media coverage of terrible crashes in the '90s, like ValuJet Flight 592 near Miami and TWA Flight 800 off Long Island, "allowed safety to really go to the top of the agenda in the aviation discussion," says Goelz, giving the NTSB more influence to push Washington and the airlines toward more safety improvements.
"Safety is a nonevent which gives you the impression that it doesn't require active effort," says Voss, a former FAA official and air traffic controller. "But it does."
About 731 million U.S. passengers flew in 2011, according to the FAA. The yearly projection for 2032 is 1.2 billion. For that reason alone, there are serious questions about whether the industry can maintain its safety record. The biggest threat, says Voss, would be aggressive budget cutbacks, either on Capitol Hill or in corporate boardrooms. "Will we have enough money for the infrastructure? Will we have the appropriate number of regulators available to support the growth that we are going to have and keep the brilliant safety record that we have?"
The FAA's plan to improve air traffic efficiency and communication, called NextGen, is the key to safely managing the anticipated surge in passengers, says Goelz.
In 2009, a regional air carrier -- Colgan Air Flight 3407 -- crashed near Buffalo, New York, killing 50 people. That tragedy offered the industry a warning about how a shifting economy can affect airline safety, says Voss. "It was a product of a burst of growth," he says. "Airlines started running out of people to fill seats in the cockpit and in certain circumstances you may see cases where someone is not as qualified or trained or as experienced as you might like being pushed into the (pilot's) seat."
Colgan concluded the crash of the Bombardier Dash 8-Q400 was caused by the crew's "loss of situational awareness and failure to follow Colgan Air training and procedures." The FAA has proposed more stringent qualifications for pilots in the wake of that accident.
Voss sees "a very strong correlation between extreme growth pressure and accidents." As examples he cites air crash upticks in the past decade in Indonesia and Africa. "All of them were preceded by a sudden boom in the industry," says Voss.
"We got a little taste of that with Colgan -- and now the system has settled back down and hopefully we've taken some lessons away from that."

Daniel Levy believes Tottenham Hotspur deserve to be in the group stages of the Champions League but on the eve of their return to Europe's premier club competition the White Hart Lane chairman said he will not jeopardise their future to pursue qualification year after year.
Having defeated Young Boys in a play-off-tie last month, Tottenham play their first game in the Champions League proper tonight, when they take on Werder Bremen in their opening Group A match. Spurs supporters misty-eyed at memories of the great Bill Nicholson side who reached the semi-finals in 1962 before losing to Benfica have long dreamed about seeing their team back on this stage and Levy shares their excitement.
The chairman has, however, moved to quell expectations and called for fans to be "realistic" about the prospects of the club remaining at football's top table in the long term, claiming only Manchester United and Chelsea are assured of a place in the league's top four every season.
Levy also said the Champions League is "not a gold mine" and pointed out that the £15m Spurs will make from competing in the group stages is merely the equivalent of a transfer fee for one player.
"We deserve to be in the Champions League. Our history dictates that but it has taken us a long time to get back," he said. "I think it's a huge achievement for Harry [Redknapp], all his coaching staff and players and the fans as well. It's something special.
"I think we all want to stay there but we all have to be realistic. There are only four places in England and there are seven or eight clubs competing. There are probably two clubs you could say are guaranteed to be in that top four. You then have two places for six clubs. The odds are stacked against you. But what we won't do is jeopardise the club to challenge to be one of those two. You can't run the club on the basis of being in the Champions League. "Often people say you just need an extra player. It doesn't work. It's about the team. I like to think it's important to run the club in the right way. It's not just about today; it's about the future generation of fans. You have to protect the club."
Spurs must already feel like they have travelled to hell and back in this competition after their remarkable first leg against Young Boys, when they fell 3-0 behind inside 28 minutes, leaving Levy in a state of shock as he looked on from the stands. The real journey, however, starts in the Weser- stadion this evening, when Redknapp and his players seek to prove they belong at this level.
Redknapp claimed last night he has "nothing to prove" after taking Spurs from the bottom of the Premier League to the Champions League in less than two years but he also admitted "you never stop learning". The experience in Switzerland was uppermost in the manager's mind when he made that comment and he said he would be "committing suicide" if he set Spurs up in a 4-4-2 formation against Werder Bremen. "I went at Young Boys because the reports came back that they were there to be beaten, that they weren't a good side so I thought, 'We can have a go at these, we'll murder these tonight'. And after half an hour ...
"This is different, they are a good side with quality players. You have got problems with the way they play. They will certainly play with at least four narrow midfield players. It makes it difficult, you are going to get run around all over the shop if you open up and play 4-4-2. With your two wingers, the two in the middle are not going to get near them. If you play 4-4-2 you are committing suicide."
With Jermain Defoe, Michael Dawson and Heurelho Gomes injured and Luka Modric also ruled out after failing to make a full recovery from the knock he received at West Bromwich Albion, Redknapp is set to play with Peter Crouch as a lone striker, with Rafael van der Vaart likely to be encouraged to support him from what will effectively be a five-man midfield.
Bremen are not without their own injury problems. Claudio Pizarro, the former Chelsea striker, will be missing and the club's first-choice central defenders, the Germany international Per Mertesacker and the Brazilian Naldo, are also sidelined, meaning that Mikaël Silvestre, who was released from Arsenal in the summer, is set to start after making his debut at the weekend.

Welcome to
Rush County, Kansas
If you business is in need of assistance due to the COVID-19 outbreak, click here.
Rush County is located in west central Kansas and is home to 3300 residents. The county is comprised of 718 square miles.
County History...
Rush County was surveyed in 1867 and organized on December 5, 1874 by Kansas Governor Thomas Osborn. The county was named in honor of Captain Alexander Rush, Company H of the 2nd Kansas Colored Infantry. P.C. Dixon filed the first claim in Rush County and settled on the banks of the Walnut Creek near present day Rush Center in 1870 receiving his grant from the land office in Salina in 1871. The first deed in Rush County was recorded in March 1875.
Walnut City was designated as the county seat and the city's name was changed to Rush Center. Within two years the county was re-surveyed and the southern tier of townships was given to neighboring Pawnee County in 1876. This changed the center of the county from Rush Center to LaCrosse. A conflict arose between the two towns when the county records were moved to LaCrosse as the intended county seat. The records were moved back and forth by wagon, amidst threats and gunfire, for years. However, no one was killed. LaCrosse was finally declared the permanent county seat and the present courthouse was erected in 1888.
In the 1880 census the 5,490 citizens of Rush County were well-educated, well-bred, young people who came from throughout the United States(4,275), Great Britain(133), Germany(178), Austria(72), Sweden(22), Bohemia(25), Canada(22), and Russia (763). There were 35 types of occupations listed, including 1,145 farmers, and one shipbuilder. Rush County was settled primarily by "persons of quality" who enriched this new frontier with their cultures.

IcyHollow brauchte ein neues Logo Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 55 Designs von 21 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
This contest is for a business logo. The logo should be creative and use two to three colors. However, the logo should also be clear and recognizable in one color as it will need to be used on road signs and newspaper advertising. The logo should also not be overly complicated so as to prevent it from being used in a small enough size for business cards. The winner may have the opportunity to design additional versions of the logo as well as a web page header that integrates it.
(Not Required for logo) We Make Camping Easy - We Make Camping Fun!
Desired Color Scheme:
Open but it should be clear and recognizable if photo copied or printed in single color
Desired Style:
No preference
Accepted File Formats:
Standard Web Formats (.jpg, .gif or .png); Vector Formats (.eps, .pdf or .ai); Layered Formats (.psd or .tiff)
We are completely open to the design and colors. The nature of our business and the information on our website should provide a lot for designers to work with. Â
The business name is "Icy Hollow Rentalsâ€. We operate under two names, this one and Icy Hollow Services. Both are wholly owned by Icy Hollow Inc.  Our immediate need is for a logo for Icy Hollow Rentals but, we have been thinking about combining the two names into "Icy Hollow Rentals & Services†to highlight the service aspect of our business. Designers should consider this in their designs.
Icy Hollow provides campers and camp gear rentals. We provide, deliver and set up fully outfitted campers and provide other services to campers. Our primary focus is on family camping but we do provide campers for other purposes as well. The idea is to make camping easier and more fun for people and to eliminate the need to own and maintain a camper. It is the service that sets us apart. We do not just provide a rental. We are based on Long Island in New York. For more information, please visit our website.
A travel trailer can be used as part of the logo but this is not required. A design that works with and without a travel trailer might provide more flexibility. For designers that might want to try this, the trailer model should be based on Unit No.1 on our website.
We would like the file format to be in several formats for flexibility of use.
Please ask us if you have any questions. firstname.lastname@example.com

Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 71 diseños de 13 diseñadores freelance.
National Property Buyers
We purchase property on behalf of our clients - we are real estate buyers agents/advocates.
We operate Australia wide.
We're looking for a modern web 2.0 logo for our new business. We want a slick looking logo but it must also portray a professional image for the company.
This is our old logo - http://nationalpropertybuyers.com.au/
I've attached a couple of logo's we like - but don't be restricted by these. We're looking for some new ideas and inspiration as well.
One of the images is just an example of a better, more modern looking house as compared to our old logo.
We really want to keep the map of Australia in the logo somewhere - it's important that our prospects know we operate Australia wide.
Also like some sort of house in the logo - perhaps even with a magnifying glass over the top of it (although this is entirely up to you).
In summary - just a modern, funky upgrade of our old logo would be great.
Also just another thought... Possibly Map Of Australia with house/property resting in a hand/palm of hand would be worth considering.

Lambda Calculus, Then and Now, by Dana Scott
Turing Centennial Celebration. My talk was scheduled between Dana Scott and Leslie Valiant. Dana's talk was not an easy act to follow. The talk summarises the history of lambda calculus from 1930 to the present, a resource for future scholars. I'm pleased that a version is now available. Dana asked me to indicate he would be pleased to receive any suggestions or criticisms.
<< Home
Do you know when the videos of the talks from the Princeton Turing Centennial Celebration will be available? The web site indicated they'd be on iTunes "next month", but that was last month...
Recently, I've often argued that software real do need calculus: the Lambda Calculus, not the integral calculus.Post a Comment

The most debated science between East and West is the use of acupuncture as a medicine. At this point, the research studies have not led to any complete conclusions about whether acupuncture can be considered a science. At the same time, research indicates that the use of meridians in acupuncture is effective in healing. Scientists have also stated that because the treatment is harmless, it can be used, and simply needs to have more investigations related to it.
Another debate that has been studied by Western scientists is herbal medicines that are used in traditional Chinese medicine methods. While some of these have not been studied, other parts of the herbs are used in pharmaceutical medications that are prescribed to patients. Chinese wormwood, Ephedra, and artemisinin are some examples of ancient remedies that have moved into Western medicine from Chinese ideals.
One agreement that all Western research shows, with the various ideas of Chinese medicine, is that the treatments are safe. All of the medical studies indicate that even if the medications are not scientifically proven, they are still not detrimental to one's health and most have few side effects. Because this is a proven point to the holistic methods, most scientists will also state that it is simply a lack of research from the medicine that is used in Chinese philosophies.
From the philosophy to the science, Chinese medication is a debated concept in Western society. However, there is also a growth and a beginning to understanding the concepts that have been used and experimented with over time. Through the various techniques of Chinese medicine to the continuous use by individuals who are looking for holistic health, Chinese medicine continues to become prominent in Western society.

Extracts location information from IP addresses by using 3rd-party databases. This command supports IPv4 and IPv6.
The IP address that you specify in the
ip-address-fieldname argument, is looked up in the database. Fields from that database that contain location information are added to each event. The setting used for the
allfields argument determines which fields are added to the events.
Because all the information might not be available for each IP address, an event can have empty field values.
For IP addresses which do not have a location, such as internal addresses, no fields are added.
iplocation [prefix=<string>] [allfields=<bool>] [lang=<string>] <ip-address-fieldname>
Required arguments
- ip-address-fieldname
- Syntax: <field>
- Description: Specify an IP address field, such as
Optional arguments
- allfields
- Syntax: allfields=<bool>
- Description: Specifies whether to add all of the fields from the database to the events. If set to
true, adds the fields City, Continent, Country, lat (latitude), lon (longitude), MetroCode, Region, and Timezone.
- Default: false. Only the City, Country, lat, lon, and Region fields are added to the events.
- lang
- Syntax: lang=<string>
- Description: Render the resulting strings in different languages. For example, use "lang=es" for Spanish. The set of languages depends on the geoip database that is used. To specify more than one language, separate them with a comma. This also indicates the priority in descending order. Specify "lang=code" to return the fields as two letter ISO abbreviations.
- prefix
- Syntax: prefix=<string>
- Description: Specify a string to prefix the field name. With this argument you can add a prefix to the added field names to avoid name collisions with existing fields. For example, if you specify
prefix=iploc_the field names that are added to the events become
iploc_lat, and so forth.
- Default: NULL/empty string
The Splunk software ships with a copy of the
GeoLite2-City.mmdb database file. This file is located in the
$SPLUNK_HOME/share/ directory.
Updating the MMDB file
You can replace the version of the .mmdb file that ships with the Splunk software with a copy of the paid version of the file or with a monthly update of the free version of the file.
- From http://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/geoip2/geolite2/, download the binary gzipped version of the GeoLite2 City database file.
- Copy the file to the search head on your Splunk Enterprise instance.
- Expand the GZ file.
- Copy the GeoLite2-City.mmdb file to the
$SPLUNK_HOME/share/directory to overwrite the file there.
Impact of upgrading Splunk software
When you upgrade your Splunk platform, the
GeoLite2-City.mmdb file in the
share directory is replaced by the version of the file that ships with the Splunk software. One option is to store the MMDB file in a different path.
Storing the MMDB file in a different path
If you prefer to update the
GeoLite2-City.mmdb file yourself, for example if you use a paid version of the file, you can store the MMDB file in a different path. The path that is used by the Splunk software to access the file must be updated.
- Only users with file system access, such as system administrators, can specify a different path to the MMDB file in the
- Review the steps in How to edit a configuration file in the Admin Manual.
- You can have configuration files with the same name in your default, local, and app directories. Read Where you can place (or find) your modified configuration files in the Admin Manual.
Never change or copy the configuration files in the default directory. The files in the default directory must remain intact and in their original location. Make the changes in the local directory.
If you are using Splunk Cloud and want to edit the configuration file, file a Support ticket.
- Open the local
limits.conffile for the Search app. For example,
- Add the
- Add the
db_pathsetting and specify the absolute path to the
GeoLite2-City.mmdbfile. The
db_pathsetting does not support standard Splunk environment variables such as
For example:
db_path = /Applications/Splunk/mmdb/GeoLite2-City.mmdbspecifies a new directory called
- Ensure a copy of the MMDB file is stored in the
Storing the MMDB file with a different name
Alternatively, you can add the updated MMDB to the
share directory using a different name and then specify that name in the
db_path setting. For example:
db_path = /Applications/Splunk/share/GeoLite2-City_paid.mmdb.
The MMDB file and distributed deployments
iplocation command is a distributable streaming command, which means that it can be processed on the indexers. The
share directory is not part of the knowledge bundle. If you update the MMDB file in the
share directory, the updated file is not automatically sent to the indexers in a distributed deployment. To add the MMDB file to the indexers, use the tools that you typically use to push files to the indexers.

I'm sorry for repeating this subject, but I can't seem to find, or understand the answer.
When I go thru my messages that I have sent, there are some that have no body to them. I know it was there, because I sent it. There is no common factor that I can see between the emails. I also get this sometimes when receiving legit mail. Usually it's from a company...ie: UPS tracking email etc...but I don't us the 'junk' function, so I know it's not because of that. Also, I have done the 'Compress Mailboxes' command, still no body to the email. Can anyone explain this in laymen's terms?
