Bloomberg: Keep tobacco products out of sight
- The City Council will take up Mayor Bloomberg%27s proposal
- Tobacco products could be visible only when an adult is making a purchase or during restocking
- Anti-smoking initiatives have been a regular part of Bloomberg%27s health-oriented administration
New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg proposed legislation Monday requiring retailers to keep tobacco products out of sight under a proposal aimed at curbing youth smoking.
The first-in-the-nation legislation also would increase penalties for the smuggling and illegal sale of cigarettes, The New York Times reported.
The legislation would allow tobacco products to be visible only when an adult is making a purchase or during restocking.
The proposal will be introduced in City Council, a step Bloomberg skipped when he proposed a ban on sugared drinks bigger than 16 ounces, the Times noted. That rule went through only the city's Board of Health, and a state judge ruled a week ago that the board, among other missteps, had exceeded its authority.
The city is appealing the ruling.
Anti-smoking initiatives have been a regular feature of Bloomberg's health-oriented administration, and "after initial complaints about nanny-statism, perhaps one of his most successful and far-reaching health drives," the Times said. The administration has banned smoking in almost all public spaces.
"People always say, 'Oh, you're doing these health things to raise money,'" Bloomberg said. "No, that is not the reason. We're doing these health things to save lives."
Bloomberg said similar prohibitions on displays have been enacted in other countries, including Iceland, Canada, England and Ireland.
"Such displays suggest that smoking is a normal activity," Bloomberg said. "And they invite young people to experiment with tobacco."
Stores devoted primarily to the sale of tobacco products would be exempt from the display ban.
"We have made tremendous strides in combating smoking in New York City but this leading killer still threatens the health of our children," said Thomas Farley, the city health commissioner.
Farley said the city's comprehensive anti-smoking program cut adult smoking rates by nearly a third — from 21.5% in 2002 to 14.8% in 2011 — but the youth rate has remained flat, at 8.5%, since 2007.
Smoking remains the leading preventable cause of death among New Yorkers, Farley said.

Radwanska wins 2nd WTA title in a row
Agnieszka Radwanska claimed back-to-back WTA titles by dispatching Dominika Cibulkova of Slovakia 6-0, 6-0 in the Sydney International final Friday.
A week after winning in Auckland, the Pole reinforced her billing as the top-seeded player in Sydney when she claimed her 12th career WTA title and her ninth straight match to start the 2013 season.
Radwanska faces Australian qualifier Bojana Bobusic in the opening round of the Australian Open next week.
In the men's bracket, Kevin Anderson of South Africa beat Julien Benneteau of France 3-6, 6-4, 7-6 (8) in a match between players separated by a single ranking point to reach the men's final.
Last year's runner-up, Benneteau edged Anderson by the solitary point to claim the 32nd and last seeding at next week's Australian Open after Anderson passed up the chance to earn ranking points by representing South Africa at the Hopman Cup.
Anderson had a small revenge on Friday when he beat Benneteau in a thrilling match of almost 2 1/2 hours.
He moved on to face Australia's Bernard Tomic, who kept up his outstanding early season form to beat third-seeded Andreas Seppi 7-6 (8), 6-4 to reach his first ATP Tour final.
Tomic, known for his volatile temperament, showed fortitude in overcoming heat stress caused by 104 degree temperatures to beat Seppi for his seventh straight win.
He has the chance to become the first Australian winner of the Sydney tournament since Lleyton Hewitt in 2005, and the first 20-year-old to win the title since Roger Federer in 2002.
Ranked 36th, Anderson played his way into his fourth tour final and remained on course for his third title, rallying from a set down to beat the 35th-ranked Benneteau.
Benneteau broke Anderson's powerful serve twice, in the fifth and ninth games, while dominating on his own serve to take the first set.
Anderson fought back behind his improved serve to take the second set, serving four aces and adding nine clean winners to reclaim the initiative.
Little separated the players in the final set and both gave up their serve once before heading into a tiebreaker. The tiebreak went back and forth for 19 points before Anderson clinched victory with an overhead winner.
Tomic complained of dizziness during the first set and had to call for attention from the tour trainer while leading 5-4.
He fended off four set points in the tiebreaker before snatching the first set in 55 minutes when Seppi played a forehand into the net.
Seppi, who led Novak Djokovic by two sets at last year's French Open, gave up the second set when he dropped serve in the ninth game. Tomic took a 5-4 lead and made no mistakes in serving out the match in 1 hour, 23 minutes.

Southwest Airlines plans to start nonstop flights between Dallas and New York and 14 other cities this fall, when federal limits on the airline's home airport end.
The new service will put Southwest — once a scrappy underdog — in head-to-head competition with American and maybe Delta.
Southwest announced Monday that it will fly from Love Field to five cities on Oct. 13 and 10 more on Nov. 2.
Those routes are currently off-limits to Southwest's Boeing 737 jets because of a 1980 law designed to protect nearby Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport. Under the Wright Amendment, as the law was called, planes bigger than 56 seats could only fly from Love Field to other cities in Texas and a few nearby states.

1 killed, 1 hurt in Leesburg plane crash
Plane crashes 3 miles north of airport
The pilot was killed and the passenger was hurt in a Leesburg plane crash near Dennis Road on Monday afternoon, according to Lake County Assistant Fire Chief Jack Fillman.
The crash happened at 2:30 p.m. in a field three miles north of Leesburg International Airport.
The plane hit a tree, according to Fillman.
Two people were on board the eight-passenger Piper PA-31 when it crashed.
Witnesses said a plane was flying low and doing tricks in the area.
"You could hear the motor not running anymore. It was like silent," said Alexis Caldwell, who was working in a nearby orange grove.
Moments later, a plane crashed.
Officials at the airport said the pilot requested an emergency landing but never made it. They couldn't say if the plane doing tricks in the area was the one that crashed.
Officials hopes to remove the plane from the area by Tuesday night.

When we produce fruits of holiness through the power of God's grace, we have no reason to fall back into a life of sin and bondage. They are free, empowered and whole. However, this promise does not apply to believers who do not walk in true holiness. Hear what Peter says about this:
"But those who fail to develop these virtues of [holiness] are blind or, at least, very shortsighted. They have already forgotten that God has cleansed them from their old life of sin. So, dear brothers and sisters, work hard to prove that you really are among those God has called and chosen. Doing this, you will never stumble or fall away." (2 Peter 1:9-10, NLT)
We will never stumble or fall away. We are an invincible people, not because of our own ability, but because of the ability grace provides. So, in essence, grace gives us the power to walk the highway of holiness, which secures for us the promise of finishing the race well. It keeps us from becoming shipwrecked in our faith and falling short.
Peter covers the opposite side as well. Those who do not walk in the power of grace fail to develop the virtues of holiness. The result is blindness and forgetting that God has cleansed them from their old life of sin. This blindness makes it very difficult, almost impossible, to stay on the narrow road of holiness. Quite easily they will venture back to a lifestyle captive to sin (and most often still believing they are covered and protected by God's grace).

Paul penned to Christians: "Don't you know that you are slaves of anyone you obey? You can be slaves of sin and die" (Romans 6:16, CEV). When we willfully and repetitively follow sin's desire, we become entangled in it and are once again its slave.
God has indeed given us His grace. We've been given the nature of Jesus Christ and have been freed from the dominion of sin! Why would anyone who has been made free want to venture back into sin's captivity and flirt with death?
So, my friend, don't fight for your right to habitually live in sin and still make it to heaven. That is the wrong way of viewing life. Rather, realize God has given you an amazing gift—freedom! You don't have to sin any longer; what you couldn't free yourself from before, you now can live free from through the power of His amazing grace!

INSTITUTE, W.Va. - - The Wilmington University women's basketball team had an overall game for the ages while defeating West Virginia State, 73-66, as eight single game records were tied or challenged to open the Toys for Tots Holiday Tournament on Friday night in Fleming Hall.
The Wildcats (3-7 overall) led wire-to-wire to snap a two-game losing skid and advance to Saturday's Tournament Championship game starting at 5:30 p.m. The team will take on St. Augustine which defeated Ursuline, 74-65, following the Wildcats' victory. Host West Virginia State (6-3 overall) received a double-double from Shealyn Shafer but couldn't stop the Wildcats' Tenicia Spence.
The sophomore helped the Wildcats' bench outscore the Yellow Jackets' reserves, 52-17, scoring 34 points on her own while shooting 14-of-26 from the floor, including 6-of-8 from beyond the three-point arc.
Spence's 34 points is tied for third most in a single game in the program's NCAA era (since 2004-05 season). The last time a Wildcat student-athlete scored 34 points was on February 27, 2010 when Amelia Simmons scored that many against Georgian Court. Simmons also holds the single-game program record with 37 points.
Spence's six three-point field goals tied for the fourth most three-point field goals made in a single game, while her accuracy from deep tied the all-time program record at 75 percent with at least six made. She went 6-of-8 from beyond the three-point arc, tying her with Danielle Thomas who also went 6-for-8 at Holy Family on November 20, 2012,
Continuing on the field goal trend, Spence's 14 made field goals was the fourth most in program history. She tied Simmons who poured in 14 against Georgian Court on January 30, 2007. Simmons also holds that mark with 16 field goals at Columbia Union on November 18, 2006.
Wilmington ran out to as large as an 11 point lead in the first half, first with 4:49 left after Jasmine Lee completed a 15-6 stretch. The Wildcats also held a 37-26 lead with 1:33 remaining following a Tiaja Harrold layup. The Wildcats went into the halftime break up 37-30 after the Yellow Jackets scored the final four points before the halftime buzzer.
Jocelyn Rodriguez gave the Wildcats their largest lead of the game at 65-51 with 4:35 remaining in regulation after the freshman finished off a 9-1 spurt to go up 14 points. They also went up 73-59 with 1:39 to play before the Yellow Jackets scored the final seven points of the game to settle on the final 73-66.
Defense was key for the Wildcats in the victory as they forced the Yellow Jackets into 24 turnovers, swatted nine shot attempts and came away with 17 steals.
The nine blocked shots tied a program record for a single contest, having done so on four other occasions. The last time the Wildcats denied nine shot attempts came on January 18, 2007 at Bloomfield.
Senior Allison McDonald had a big say in those nine blocked shots, as she tied a single game record with seven blocked shots. She tied Nordia Henry's record that stood since December 4, 2004 when the Wildcats faced Nyack.
The 17 steals tied for the fifth most in a single game with the record being 20 steals which occurred on January 6, 2009 at Goldey-Beacom.
Junior Jennifer Carr had a hand in the team's 17 steals, swiping eight on her own which also tied a program record. The last time a Wildcat recorded eight steals was on February 10, 2005 against Georgian Court by Andrea Jones.
Spence was the only Wildcat to reach double figures while Harrold finished with nine points and Rodriguez tallied eight. Rodriguez also record a game high eight assists in the win. McDonald finished with a team high eight rebounds, four of which came on the offensive glass.

I couldn't keep up with all that was going on at the Digital Humanities 2011 conference at Stanford last month, but I thoroughly enjoyed it, learned from it, and found myself thinking about unexpected connections while trying to make sense of it. The three key things I kept thinking about are: scale, materiality, and agency. The semi-processed notes that follow are not so much a record of the conference as they are an experiment to see if a succession of points might hint at an arc.
The paradox of Digital Humanities is that it is a term that attracts more interesting people than it can stably support through careful definition of a coherent field, clear identification of an object of study, or singular commitment to a fixed methodology. The theme of this year's Stanford conference, the "big tent," was meant to be welcoming to all, and I think on the ground it succeeded quite well. It wasn't an occasion of anxious definitional boundary-drawing. People seemed willing to do what they were doing with confidence not only in their own work, but in its acceptance by others within the big tent. This a strength not to be underestimated, I would like to think, and yet it could be difficult to see from a distance, outside the tent altogether.
A conference is a difficult thing to claim as an object of knowledge. There were more than 300 participants and usually four concurrent sessions. There is a substantive 417-page book of abstracts (closer to full papers than the term "abstracts" might imply; here in PDF), and also a #dh11 Twitter hashtag that I did not manage to keep up with. Amid the divergent particulars of papers, posters, and projects, common themes or problematics kept emerging.
- David Rumsey's opening keynote showed us implicitly how unsatisfying many of our existing tools are through a masterful demonstration of the kind of digital experience that would enable exploration across multiple levels of scale, seamlessly going from small map scales to large ones, from thumbnails to full screen, from close reading to distant and back, without artificially drawing sharp distinctions between macro-scale discovery, broad analytic purposes, careful examination of detail, and speculative browsing.
- I understand a perennial question at this conference has often been one or another version of "What is text?" in the light of digital text encoding practices. Statistical text mining approaches are getting a lot of attention now, and perhaps put these questions in a new light. Tastes differ in such things, as do philosophical commitments, but I thought generally the people I heard wore their humanities practice pretty easily and confidently, whatever their methodology. They were quite willing to explore how texts and meaning are contextually produced, not assuming a positivistic mechanism or scientistic magic somehow inherent in digital bits, even as they were in some cases interested in looking across different levels of scale. (I won't say much directly about "distant reading" here, but recommend this recent post by conference co-organizer Matt Jockers, whose presentation at the conference was quite impressive.) The conference wasn't quite what one might imagine of digital humanities solely from reading about "culturomics" in the popular press. To be in the midst of the conference participants, what's interesting is not so much what's new, but how much a horizon of the humanities can go without saying among people with relatively diverse backgrounds and occupational and disciplinary commitments.
- I heard the conclusion of a paper Julia Flanders presented on behalf of herself and Jacqueline Wernimont, trying out the idea that textual markup could conceivably be a practice of philosophical exploration of "possible worlds." An insightful comment during the question period suggested an analogy to Rumsey's layering of historic maps, which Julia enthusiastically endorsed. To draw out just one of the implications of that comment: it might be helpful to people outside digital humanities to understand the humanistic character of practices like text encoding and database modeling by analogy to cartography. We can value the work of cartographers without getting particularly confused by the fact that the map is not the territory, and we can appreciate the cultural and rhetorical as well as technical "making" that goes into cartography. And we can accept that maps of different scales have different purposes, without pretending that differently scaled maps necessarily invalidate each other.
- The panel on materiality was well attended and energetic. Jean-Francois Blanchette, Johanna Drucker, and Matt Kirschenbaum all spoke well about the material basis of technology, against an antihistorical techno-fantasy of disembodied bits. A couple of Blanchette's slides reminded us of the shipping container industry as analogue and material support for digital technology, and that image seemed to give a particularly vivid ethical and environmental grounding to our sense of all having a stake in materiality. Matt Kirschenbaum talked about the materiality of born-digital archives, the physicality and historical boundedness of hardware, and the importance of engagement with archives, archivists, and materiality in digital humanities scholarship.
- Johanna Drucker spoke brilliantly at a remarkable pace in what I understood to be advocacy of theoretically mature critical intellectual practice. I won't pretend to be able to summarize her argument adequately, but toward the end of her talk she included theoretical gestures reminding us of the non-self-identicality of cultural objects, and of the idea of parallax, which I perhaps half-understood as looking at an object simultaneously from different perspectives. And I felt like I was hearing these gestures simultaneously from at least two perspectives: I had glimpsed these ideas before, and was intrigued by them, because something about them sounds right to me. Yet I was also hearing these gestures with sympathy for people who might be impatient of theory, and who might take non-self-identicality in particular as simply a logical offense.
- Fred Gibbs gave a superb, understated presentation based on his work with Dan Cohen using text mining and visualization techniques to explore questions about Victorian intellectual history. He argued for starting with simple questions, simple tools, skepticism, modest results, and scholarly transparency in making code and data available. He was not cheerleading for his methods, but testing them, playing with them, and evaluating them. He showed how the same underlying question might lead him to produce different visualization graphs depending on whether the source data was just book titles or Google's full-text n-grams. In the context of my conference experience Fred's presentation turned into an especially significant highlight, for two reasons.
First, his practice sounded to me like a pragmatic historian's version of what I understood Johanna Drucker to be calling for. Gibbs produced and then wondered about three graphs of the "same" phenomenon that turned out not to be conclusively the same, for reasons that bear further exploration. I don't know if this is what non-self-identicality means, but I appreciated that Gibbs is not sitting still, debating which side to pick in a false dichotomy between historical research object and digital method, he's productively moving between imperfect method and uncertainly mediated object in an active hermeneutic process that he is transparently implicated in and willing to share, and he is unapologetic about the fact that the process isn't over and its ultimate results cannot be fully and comfortably spoken for, because there is still something to learn.
Also, Gibbs was quite frank about the nature of his use of digital tools of inquiry in this process. He doesn't need particularly fancy and complicated cyberinfrastructure to ask some of his questions, he just needs to be free to write short scripts and see results in quick cycles of exploration. I started to wonder whether having that kind of practice in mind, and then asking questions about scaling up, shouldn't happen more often. The risk of creating sophisticated, methodologically committed digital tools in anticipation of supporting future scholarship is that unless there is the flexibility for quick iteration and change, complex tools might end up silencing considerable fields of potential evidence by hard-coding initial presumptions that will be expensive or difficult to change.
- I made the most of an opportunity to find out what would bring digital poets to the digital humanities conference, a community I'm interested in but don't know much about. It seemed to me that the digital poesis folks, much like Gibbs, are using technology critically and experimentally, fiddling with knobs to see what happens, and adjusting based on what they find. John Cayley's exploration of language through Google searches, looking for short sequences of words that appear together in prior usage (but not too often) to incorporate into poems, catalyzed discussion around Google, which was perhaps a somewhat underacknowledged elephant in the big tent throughout much of the conference. Cayley understands himself to be simultaneously exploring the never-fully-accessible expansive world of language on the web and also the imperfect, essential mediating tool of the search engine. He drives his own exploratory process in a manner not so different from Gibbs. He doesn't use Google's n-gram data; as a matter of principle and method he insists on getting his search counts from "The Mouth," his term for the simple Google web search box. Cayley spoke of chafing under Google's terms of service and observed that Google didn't want him to be a robot. For his purposes, it's only as a robot, or a potential fast-typing equivalent of a robot, that he effectively has any agency at the interface. Debating culturomics on all sides can make it hard to see the immediacy of this sublime paradox. But it's not a question for some speculative future. It matters now.
- Plenty of presentations, papers, and posters involved various kinds of digital work in modeling, visualizing, organizing, and presenting human cultural materials. (My own poster [PDF], too, relates to a project that fits this general description.) Many people working in digital humanities understand that visualization tools and interface design are critically important, and there's much more work to be done. But I found myself wondering how design necessarily looks different from the perspectives of anticipated future use and immediate active inquiry. Often, with "end users" in mind, we assume that applications on the web or elsewhere bind interfaces and data pretty tightly, and that a primary issue is the quality and clarity of the interface. It does not always go without saying that any interface can be a bad interface for scholarship if it's the only one. The Linked Open Data movement is part of an answer to moving beyond this. The focus there still is mostly on the data publishing side, understandably. But on the demand side, there is not nearly enough exploration yet of paths toward researcher- or reader-driven (as opposed to user-tested) tools for inquiry.
- Perhaps the most materially significant statement about the future of humanities research at network scale came during a reception honoring the establishment of the HathiTrust Research Center, which will provide computational research access (in some manner to be determined) to the full-text collections of millions of books in the digital collections of HathiTrust. This is an important and exciting initiative, but I got the sense that the vision is still well out ahead of what one would want in a community of practice able to provide informed feedback at appropriate scale.
Google's Jon Orwant, who has put considerable work into engaging with the digital humanities community in the past few years, explained that the HTRC will support "nonconsumptive" research, meaning computational research on the aggregate of millions of digital volumes, including those in copyright, without providing full-text access that could be in potential violation of copyright. For rights management reasons and also for material engineering reasons, the research architecture will move the computation to the data. That is, the vision of the future here is not one in which major data providers give access to data in big downloadable chunks for reuse and querying in other contexts, but one in which researchers' queries are somehow formalized in code that the data provider's servers will run on the researcher's behalf, presumably also producing economically sized result sets. The economic logic makes sense, given bandwidth limitations and data collections growing at the scale of petabytes. But it seems likely there are intellectual consequences here for research in the humanities that aren't that easy yet to envision. For ordinary humanities researchers who are already not in a position to fix or route around the interfaces thought up by those of us who in good faith imperfectly make such things, what does it mean to announce that the way of the world will be to "move the computation to the data"? I can imagine many people in the humanities thinking: there were websites before, there will be websites after, what difference will this make to me?
If "moving computation to the data" is going to work as an active humanities research practice, the expressiveness of computation as inquiry will have to move toward researchers and readers. Whatever we mean by "computation," that is, can't be locked up in an interface that tightly binds computation and data. Readers already need (and for the most part do not have) our own agents and our own data, our own algorithms for testing, validating, calibrating, and recording our interaction with the black boxes of external infrastructure. The black boxes, too, are time-bound artifacts of culture, and must be read, within and without.

By Jeff Nelson, Penn State
UNIVERSITY PARK – As the Olympic Flame finishes its trip around the globe, a school-record 19 Penn Staters are gearing up to represent their school and countries at the 2012 Olympic Games in London. Opening ceremonies at the Olympics take place July 27.
Not including the 1980 Olympics in Moscow, where 65 countries did not participate, Penn State has sent athletes to each Olympic Games since 1948, a streak of 15-consecutive Games. Nittany Lion athletes also competed at the 1908 and 1948 Games in London, now the only city to be chosen to host the event three times. Walter Bahr, Penn State's men's soccer coach from 1974-87, was one of nine competitors from the school at the 1948 Games.
In all, Penn State competitors have won 23 medals, including five gold-medal efforts, from 78 Olympians. Former men's gymnastics assistant coach Kevin Tan is the most recent Penn Stater to medal in the Olympics, earning a team bronze at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Suzanne McConnell was the last Penn Stater to capture a gold medal, earning the medal as a member of the 1988 U.S. women's basketball team. McConnell also took home bronze at the 1992 Games.
The 2012 Nittany Lion contingent consists of competitors from seven sports, including both male and female competitors in fencing, track & field and volleyball. Natalie Dell will make history for the school as the first Nittany Lion to compete in rowing at the Olympics.
Four competitors are current student-athletes at Penn State, while an additional 14 alumni and one Nittany Lion coach will also compete. Eight individuals will represent seven countries other than the U.S., including Canada, Great Britain, Israel, Jamaica, Mexico, Puerto Rico, and Suriname.
Penn State will be well represented in track & field with five athletes. Dominique Blake, a 2008 graduate, earned a spot in the Jamaican relay pool on the heels of a sixth-place finish in the women's 400 final. The former NCAA champion in 4×400-meter relay already has some international experience under her belt, competing for Jamaica in the open 400 at the World Indoors, where she finished as a semi-finalist.
Shana Cox will represent Great Britain in the 400-meter event. Cox, another 2008 graduate, was an 11-time All-American and NCAA champion in the 400- and 4×400-meter relay as a Nittany Lion.
Kirsten Nieuwendam (Paramibo, Suriname), who owns sophomore eligibility indoors and freshman eligibility outdoors at Penn State, is set to compete in the 200-meters for her home country of Suriname. The trip will be the second for Nieuwendam, who competed in the same event at the Beijing Games in 2008. Nieuwendam enjoyed outstanding success in 2012, finishing second in both the 400-meters and 4×400-meter relay at the Big Ten Indoor Championships, before adding another silver medal in the 4×400, as well as a third-place effort in the 200 at the outdoor conference meet.
Bridget Franek, a 2010 graduate, and Ryan Whiting, a volunteer head coach for the Nittany Lions, will compete for the United States. Franek qualified for her first career Olympic berth, placing second in the 3,000-meter steeplechase at the U.S. Olympic Trials in Eugene, Ore. Franek, who was an NCAA champion in the event in 2010, matched her highest-ever US finish in the effort, thanks to a finishing time of 9:35.62. A 10-time NCAA All-American while wearing the Blue and White, Franek clinched a spot on her third U.S. squad, having traveled to the IAAF World Championships in 2009, and 2011. Whiting – the defending World Indoor Champion in the shot put – also earned his first Olympic spot, via a second-place finish in his signature event. One of the top throwers in the world as well as a volunteer coach on the Nittany Lion track & field staff, Whiting recorded a toss of 71-0.75 (21.66) to finish second to only Reese Hoffa's 72-2.25 (22.00). Whiting is also no stranger to qualifying for U.S. teams, representing his country at the 2011 IAAF World Outdoor Championships, and 2012 IAAF World Indoor Championships. The Harrisburg, Pa., native was a six-time NCAA Champion while competing at Arizona State.
Four women's volleyball players will be a part of the U.S. squad, including two 2009 graduates,Nicole Fawcett and Christa Harmotto, and 2010 graduates Alisha Glass Megan Hodge. Harmotto and Hodge were both selections to the 12-player U.S. squad, while Fawcett and Glass serve as alternates for the group.
The four Nittany Lions were all a part of Penn State's historic run to four straight NCAA titles between 2007-10. Harmotto and Fawcett helped Penn State capture two (2007, 2008), while Hodge and Glass were part of three (2007, 2008, 2009). The 2009 AVCA National Player of the Year and ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA Academic All-American of the Year, Hodge was a four-time First Team AVCA All-American. Hodge closed out her Penn State career ranked second all-time in the record books with 2,142 career kills and amassed a career record of 142-5 (97%). She also helped lead Penn State to 102 of its record-breaking 109-match winning streak. Harmotto is second in the Penn State career records in hitting percentage at .433 and fourth all-time in total blocks at 682.
Matt Anderson will help lead the U.S. men's volleyball team. A two-time AVCA All-American and the 2008 AVCA co-National Player of the Year, Anderson led Penn State to the 2008 NCAA title where he was named the Most Outstanding Player of the championship. After leaving early to pursue a professional volleyball career, Anderson has become a fixture on the U.S. Men's National Team. Most recently, Anderson led the U.S. Men to a gold medal in the NORCECA Men's Continential Olympic Qualification Tournament where he was also named "Best Spiker". He is making is first Olympic Games appearance.
A trio of fencers also compete at the London Games with Miles Chamley-Watson (Philadelphia, Pa.) and Doris Willette representing the U.S. and Daniel Gomez-Tanamachi (Mexico City, Mexico) donning Mexico's colors.
Chamley-Watson took the 2012 collegiate season off to pursue a spot on the U.S. Olympic Team. It paid off as he qualified for the third spot on the foil squad. This follows his junior season at Penn State in 2010-11 that saw him fence his way to All-America honors for the third straight time with a runner-up finish. As a sophomore, Chamley-Watson tied for third at NCAAs, duplicating his performance as a freshman in 2009. Willette, a four-time All-American and two-time national champion, competed for Penn State from 2006-2011 and is making her second straight appearance in the Olympic games. Willette left Penn State with a 117-14 dual record and won the NCAA title in the women's foil in 2007 and 2009 and was an All-American in 2010 and 2011.
Gomez-Tanamachi will be making his first appearance at the Olympics for his home country of Mexico. He enjoyed a stellar junior campaign in 2012, going 24-8 and placing first at the Mid-Atlantic/South Regional to qualify for the National Championships. He defeated 13 opponents to claim 10th in the nation and was an Honorable Mention All-American. After the season, Gomez-Tanamachi claimed a spot on the Mexico Men's Foil Team for the 2012 Olympics in London and will return to Penn State as a senior this fall.
Soccer alumnae Erin McLeod and Carmelina Moscato¸ both 2006 graduates, will take to the pitch for Canada this summer. McLeod left Penn State as one of the most accomplished goalkeepers, earning NSCAA All-America First Team honors after leading the Nittany Lions to a No. 1 ranking during the 2005 season and a Women's College Cup berth. McLeod was a two-time All-Big Ten First Team honoree, posting a 0.64 goals against average and a record of 39-2-3. McLeod was also a semifinalist for the Missouri Athletic Club's Hermann Trophy, a rare feat for a goalkeeper. Her counterpart, Moscato, was a defensive stalwart on the 2005 College Cup team. Moscato helped lead the Nittany Lions to four Big Ten championships and the 2001 Big Ten Tournament championship. During the 2005 season, Moscato and McLeod teamed up to lead PSU to its best season ever at 23-0-2 with a 19-game winning streak. Along with McLeod, Moscato has been a mainstay in the Canadian National Team defense, earning trips to the 2003 and 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup tournaments. Moscato is making her first Olympic appearance while McLeod is making her second after competing at the Beijing Games.
A pair of Nittany Lions will also be active in men's gymnastics competition. Alumnus Tommy Ramos and junior Felix Aronovich (Kiryat Bialik, Israel) will represent Puerto Rico and Israel, respectively. The duo gives Penn State two Olympic gymnasts at the same Games for the first time since 1992 when Terry Bartlett and Ian Shelley represented Great Britain in Barcelona. A six-time All-American under the tutelage of Penn State head coach Randy Jepson, Ramos played a prominent role in helping the Nittany Lions to the program's NCAA-record 12th national championship in 2007 and a Big Ten title in 2008. A two-time Big Ten still rings champion, he held the Penn State record in the event (16.000), set at the 2008 National Collegiate Championships, until Scott Rosenthal broke it in the 2012 season opener against Army, scoring a 16.300.
Interestingly, Aronovich qualified twice for the Olympics, first meeting the Olympic committee requirements at a test event in London in January and then meeting the Israeli Olympic committee conditions by placing 11th in the all-around at the European Championships in May. In 2012, Aronovich was a key member of a Penn State squad that finished third at the National Collegiate Championships. He earned his first two career All-America honors, placing seventh in the all-around during the team finals and placing fifth in the parallel bars at the individual finals. At the 2012 Big Ten Championships, Aronovich placed fourth in the all-around, earning First Team All-Big Ten honors. The former Big Ten Co-Freshman of the Year had his best collegiate season in 2012, setting career highs in five of six events and the all-around. The five-time Big Ten Gymnast of the Week has recorded 55 top three finishes, including 29 title wins, during his collegiate career.
Dell, a 2007 graduate, is a third-year member of the U.S. Rowing team after competing for the club-level Penn State squad, where she went undefeated in 2006. Competing in women's quadruple sculls, the 2012 Games mark the first Olympic trip for Dell. She offers strong international experience, winning bronze in the quadruple sculls at the 2012 Samsung World Rowing Cup II and silver in the same event at the 2011 World Rowing Championships.
Cyclist Bobby Lea, a 2006 graduate, will travel to his second Olympics this summer after competing in Beijing in 2008. The endurance cyclist will look to improve upon his 16th-place showing in the Madison event in 2008, this time competing in the Omnium. Lea won 30 collegiate national titles as a part of the Penn State Cycling Team before turning pro after graduation. Since the Beijing Games, Lea has collected four national championships, including gold in the Individual Pursuit and the Omnium at the 2011 USA Cycling Elite Track National Championships.

Today I watched a short film on Roots Television.
It was made in 1948 and was aimed at showing what life was like for a young boy growing up in York at this time.
This year I spent a week on holiday in York (not for the first time). It was interesting to contrast the picture I have today with that of 50 years ago.
The view from the city walls has changed remarkably little, possibly due to much of the area having protected status.
The railway station has changed and we no longer travel in trains with compartments (usually) as we did even in the sixties when I was a child. For longer journeys we even have air conditioning in the trains. Beeching cuts in the sixties mean we cannot get a train to Whitby from York so our journey this year will have taken a lot longer.
Whitby itself has changed in the number and type of boats in the harbour. The fishermen, if there are any left, do not sit there mending their nets.
I cannot comment on the schools.
However homelife has certainly changed as many families no longer sit down together for their evening meal and few that do would be listening to the radio.
Television would be more likely today and many will eat a meal with a tray on their lap whilst watching the television. The traditional tea will have been replaced by the ready made meal and the stove by the microwave. In our family for one we have not yet done away with the traditional cup of tea, still a firm favorite with many of the english.
Some houses still have the open coal fires so common in post war britain but with the creation of smoke free zones the majority of us now live in centrally heated homes.
How many of us or our descendants will look back in another 50 years and reflect on how life has changed?

Our Company
The modern concept of how and where we exercise has changed. We are no longer alone in our dedication to health and happiness. Today, we demand a shared experience — working out in groups, rather than on our own. We share our goals, our motivations and our successes. Soffe knows The Strength Is In Us and is proud to be a leader in this new movement.
Soffe's legacy began in 1946, when it first hit the scene as a distributer to military exchanges and college bookstores, and we've never looked back. In the ensuing decades, we expanded our focus to include activewear for all types of athletes and exercise. In 2003, Soffe was acquired by Delta Apparel Inc. (NYSE MKT: DLA), and this partnership helped further our growth.
As of today, Soffe has positioned itself as a market-leading, all-American lifestyle activewear brand for men, juniors and children. And it has done so by staying highly attuned to the ever-changing landscape of athletics and exercise.
The Soffe juniors' line continues to find inspiration in the brand's cheerleading roots — a sport defined by what a group of women can do when they work together — but has expanded its vision to include must-have apparel for yoga, dance, running and more. Be sure to check out our hot new performance segment, which features technical fabrics and trend-driven fashion influences.
Soffe's men's offerings are still rooted in the military — another example of what a strong sense of community and togetherness can do. This line is tough, durable and dependable, and it is designed to channel America's original athlete: the soldier.
And because team sports are the gold standard for working together, Soffe offers Intensity by Soffe, which is focused on outfitting sports teams. Soffe takes the latest styles and combines them with on-the-field sensibilities to create smart performance uniforms, practice gear and accessories.

Tonight, a Mayoral Debate on Open Government in San Francisco
BY Nick Judd | Thursday, June 16 2011
Thursday night in San Francisco, Lotus Development Corporation founder Mitch Kapor will moderate a discussion about open government, civic engagement, technology and innovation between some of the leading candidates for mayor of the City by the Bay.
Beginning at 5:45 p.m. Pacific Standard Time and held at the headquarters of WordPress developers Automatic, the sold-out event, SFOpen, will be streamed live over at GovFresh. It's the kickoff to a series of summer events about urbanism and technology, but the crescendo of a push to put open government ideas — that 21st-century governments must do a better job of communicating what they are doing and involve citizens in deciding what to do — on the map for the San Francisco mayoral campaign. Ahead of this debate, GovFresh founder Luke Fretwell has been advocating, organizing and cajoling mayoral candidates to sign a pledge to use technology to make San Francisco's government more transparent, to involve more people in making decisions, and to better collaborate with people outside government if elected. He's also hosting blog posts on open government and transparency by candidates Phil Ting and Joanna Rees, and video of interviews with candidates on the subject.
Tonight's questions will come from a crowdsourced list where the lead questions are now about participatory budgeting, a process through which some portion of a government budget is allocated by popular vote; improving the performance of San Francisco's MUNI municipal transit system; and the digital divide, the difference in access to the Internet between people of differing race and class.
In part because of the unusual system the people of San Francisco will use to decide their next mayor, the race is still wide open. The online outlet SF Appeal notes that since voters will indicate second and third choices for mayor as well as their top pick, candidates will likely be cordial with one another — in the hopes of staying likeable with enough voters to earn runner-up votes even if they are not top picks.
The event is sponsored by Change.org, GovFresh and the Gray Area Foundation for the Arts, SF Appeal notes.

To celebrate Queen Elizabeth II's 60 years on the throne Pantone teamed up with the design firm Leo Burnett London to make this special limited edition Pantone color guide to Her Majesty's colorful wardrobe.
Each of the 60 cards in the spiral guide shows Queen Elizabeth in a formal suit that's been splashed a different Pantone color, which she actually wore in the real world. The cards tell you the name of the color and where and when she was spotted wearing it. The whimsical package is limited to a run of 60 units, which it appears you can't buy. Is it marketing? You bet, but it's fun, too. Who knew Queen Elizabeth wears so much Pantone? [Pantone via The Inspiration Room]

Editorial: Access to crime scene photos critical to government accountability
State Rep. Peter Tercyak grew emotional as he explained his vote.
Only one other member of the state House of Represenatatives and two senators had joined Tercyak in voting against a bill in June that limited the public's access to information collected in homicide investigations,
But the New Britain Democrat was resolute.
"Some principles are always there, " he said, according to an account in the Connecticut Mirror. "And the reason people can trust our government and police departments is because we don't have secrets."
Tercyak was right. So were Rep. Stephen Dargan of West Haven, Sen. Edward Meyer of Guilford and Sen. Anthony Musto of Trumbull.
The overwhelming majority of the state legislature was wrong, as was Gov. Dannel P. Mallloy, who signed the bill into law in the final days of the legislative session.
It's important to remember Tercyak's words as a task force considers what recommendations it makes to the legislature on the balance between victim privacy and government accountability.
The creation of the Task Force on Victim Privacy and the Public's Right to Know — and the possibility that it will recommend a repeal or scaling back of the law — was one of the few good things that came out of an otherwise terrible piece of legislation.
The bill was written in response to concerns of the families of victims in last year's Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings that photographs and videos of the victims' bodies would be published on TV, in newspapers or on the Internet.
It was crafted in secret and rushed to the floor without the benefit of pubic hearings that might have prevented it from passing in the form in which it passed.
We share the legislature's deep sympathy for the victims' families, and for the families of all homicide victims. But as Tercyak noted after the vote, the bill disregards a principle at the foundation of democracy.
There are ample examples of the availability of crime scene images serving the public good, one of which was highlighted in testimoney before the task force last week by Chris VanDeHoef, president of the Connecticut Daily Newspapers Association.
VanDeHoef pointed to the death of Kendrick Johnson, a 17-year-old high school athlete in Georgia. An initial autopsy report ruled that Johnson died of positional asphyxia after falling into a rolled-up gym mat while trying to retrieve a sneaker.
That was before CNN used a Freedom of Information request to an autopsy report containing a 15-minute video and nearly 700 photos taken by sheriff's investigators. CNN showed the report to a former FBI agent who told the network the photos showed evidence of blunt force trauma.
Federal prosecutors are now reviewing the images to see if they warrant a homicide investigation.
There are countless other examples of information obtained through Freedom of Information requests serving the public good and holding government officials accountable.
It's also important to note that, as a host of Freedom of Information advocates have pointed out, the bill provides a solution to a problem that doesn't exist.
Daniel J. Klau, a Hartford attorney who serves as president of the nonprofit Connecticut Foundation for Open Government, smartly examined the issue in a Mirror op-ed last week.
Klau wrote that he couldn't find a single instance in history in which graphic photos of victims were obtained through a FOI request and published by a Connecticut media outlet.
As Klau notes, photos of the members of the Petit family killed in their Cheshire home in 2007 are pursuant to FOI requests. But none has been published online, and the only crime scene photos available online are those that were introduced as evidence in Steven Hayes' and Joshua Komisarjevsky's trials.
"If you don't want trial exhibits to appear in newspapers or on the Internet, the 'problem' is not the FOIA," Klau wrote. "It is the First Amendment."

August 17
Davy Crockett was born in 1786.
|7 – 12
|Calendar Activity Type
|Historical Figure & Event
David (aka Davy) Crockett was born in Hawkins County, Tennessee in 1786, and died during the Battle of the Alamo in San Antonio, Texas in 1836. Crockett was a frontier explorer, adventurer, politician, and soldier. His life inspired many stories that were exaggerated into tall tales of his adventures in the frontier lands of the United States.
Perhaps better known to students for his adventures on the American frontier, Davy Crockett was also a politician who served in the Tennessee legislature and who represented the state in the U.S. Congress.
Share "Crockett's Rules for the Guidance of Politicians" from Life of David Crockett (1860) with your class. In this excerpt from his biography, Crockett outlines how to have a successful career in politics. After reading the piece (or selected excerpts) with your students, consider whether present-day politicians follow Crockett's advice.
Students might conclude the exploration with a reflection on how much (or how little) life in the political sphere has changed. Encourage students to account for the reasons why some political practices change over time, as well as to consider the reasons why some practices remain the same even in very different settings.
- David "Davy" Crockett (1786-1836)
From the PBS companion website to the film Remember the Alamo, this page provides a brief biography of Crockett's life with accompanying illustrations.
- David Crockett: His Life and Adventures
This electronic version of Crockett's biography, written by John S.C. Abbott, provides the complete text of the 1874 version of the printed book.

The town of Terrene is in real trouble. Business are shutting down, and folks are moving away. What's going to happen to Liz and his friends? Can the town be saved?Play Episode
Episode Theme: Do what's right today!
1. Timothy was young, but his faith was strong and he had a lot of enthusiasm. Young people, even in the Bible, are often not taken seriously by older people. In 1 Timothy 4:12 Paul told his young friend not to be discouraged by his age, but to keep doing good. What can you do today to make a difference in the world?
2. Has there been a time when there was a big change in your life? Did you feel excited? Scared? Worried? Philippians 4:6 -7 reminds not to be worried about anything, but to share your concerns with God. When you do that, he will "guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus." As you listen to today's episode, think about a time when there was a big change in your life.
Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity"
In this episode, Liz and the gang go into detective mode to try to get to the bottom of some of the troubling changes in Terrene.
I Samuel 17 tells a familiar story about young man going through some changes of his own. David had been chosen to be the next king of Israel, but he was still waiting for that to happen. Talk about an uncertain future! When would he get to be king? What would happen to his family? How would he, a shepherd, learn how to run a country?
In the middle of this uncertain time, his dad gives him a job to do: go bring lunch to his brothers on the battlefield. Did David say, "Dad, future kings do NOT deliver lunches!"? No. He obeyed his father, and it's a good thing he did! When he came to the battlefield, a giant was coming out to challenge the army of Israel. Though he was young, David's faith was strong, and he knew that with God's help, he could defeat the giant. This would be a strong lesson for the future king!
David showed that by trusting in God and obeying, even in times of uncertainty and waiting, young people can make a big impact in God's kingdom. Is there a place in God's kingdom that needs you?
Want to dig deeper and learn more about how young people make a difference ? Check out John 6:1-14, 2 Kings 5:1-3, and Daniel 1:8-17.

A butterfly.

Drake Industries.

Camille Lynn Drake.
Is there a place in God's kingdom that needs you? Is there something that you are passionate about? Is there brokenness in the world that pulls on your heart? You are not too young to do something!
Talk to an adult and brainstorm: How can you help? Can you make cards or posters? Write letters? Raise money? Grab some friends and get them in on the action too! Remember: "Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity" (1 Timothy 4: 12).

Just a quick heads up.
I've had an MS Access database for a while now for project management and have started to reorganize the tables to make it a true object relational database.
I currently use a Project ID unique key with no duplicates.
I also use the combo box and table/query to choose records for the main table to avoid duplication.
The question is, because the information is pulled from several other tables to populate one row and those records all have a unique Project ID key associated to them, I would like to be able to enter the Project ID (which is also a table/query selection) and have a query locate all the associated links in the rest of the columns in that table, rather than have to manually enter them in again and again.
Is there a way for this to happen?

Improving home sales brighten 2013 outlook
- Full-year sales up 9.2%25 from 2011
- December sales below expectations but up almost 13%25
- Interest rates and prices still low
Home sales are set to keep marching upward this year after hitting their highest level in five years in 2012, economists say.
Existing-home sales for the full year rose 9.2% from 2011, according to preliminary data, the National Association of Realtors reported Tuesday.
New home sales, which will be reported Friday, have also been improving.
Housing is finally contributing to the economy's recovery. No longer the drag that it's been since the housing bust began in 2006, housing's positive influence will grow more this year, says Moody's Analytics chief economist Mark Zandi.
He expects housing to contribute a fifth of the economy's growth this year. That's a big turnaround from 2009, when it subtracted more than 1 percentage point from GDP growth, he says.
Housing has historically led the U.S. economy out of recessions. That didn't happen this time, and it's one reason the economic recovery has been weak, says David Crowe, chief economist for the National Association of Home Builders.
Now that housing appears to be mending, with prices rising and more new construction, "the recovery will start to feel more normal," Crowe says.
New home sales are especially important to the economy because buyers then spend money on a raft of other items, such as furnishings, appliances and landscaping. Rising home prices, meanwhile, increase household wealth.
December's existing-home sales, down 1% from November to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.94 million, were almost 13% higher than a year earlier, the NAR says.
Last month's numbers were weaker than expected, but "the trend is still up," says Liz Ann Sonders, Charles Schwab chief investment strategist.
Home sales — and prices — are being driven higher by:
-- Interest rates. They averaged 3.38% for a standard 30-year-fixed rate mortgage for the week ended Jan. 17. Average interest rates for 30-year-fixed loans have been below 4% for the past 14 months, Freddie Mac data show.
The low rates, along with home prices that fell more than 30% from their 2006 peak, has vastly improved housing affordability.
-- Job growth. The unemployment rate stood at 7.8% in December, down from its peak of 10% in the fall of 2010. A better job market is enabling more people to move out on their own, which is driving housing demand. Net household formations topped 1 million in each of the past two years, Sonders says. That's more than twice the level of 2009 and 2010.
-- Falling supply. The supply of homes for sale in December fell to 4.4 months, based on December's sales pace, the NAR says. That's the lowest level since May 2005. Supplies are dwindling in the face of rising demand, fewer foreclosures and reluctant sellers.
Not all economists see brighter days ahead for housing, given what market researcher CoreLogic says was a 7.4% jump in home prices in November from a year earlier.
Higher taxes and cuts in government spending, along with still-tepid job growth, will weigh on the market this year, says Steven Ricchiuto, chief economist for Mizuho Securities.
Interest rates, too, aren't likely to go lower unless the economic recovery falters. The low rates have already sucked in home buyers who were waiting to buy, he says.
"You've probably already seen the best of the housing recovery," Ricchiuto says.
