TechDays/DevDays Netherlands and Belgium:
Last week I was in Belgium and The Netherlands speaking at TechDays. A number of those videos are online at Channel 9. It was a great time. Here's the talks I gave. Sorry there's three screenshots of my big head to follow.
DevDays Keynote
The first 10 minutes or so of this are in Dutch, but you can fast forward to my part if you like. I'm about 20 min right after Arie stops talking. I talk about what Microsoft has built this year, what we are doing around Open Source, and how I see things snapping (and how they snapped) together from VB3 until today.
NuGet In Depth: Empowering Open Source on the .NET Platform
In this talk I start from the absolute basics of NuGet, how to make and publish a package and I work up to my thoughts on NuGet in the Enterprise and NuGet with Commercial Software. Then I show extreme examples of NuGet packages.
MVC 3 – 101: Beginner to Advanced
This is a 101 level talk. I start from the most basic ASP.NET MVC site, and move quickly through the basics, through the new Scaffolding changes, MvcScaffolding and finally OutputFilters.
In the evening I hosted a silly "Coding 4 Fun" session where I talked about my remote camera setup, chatted and teased Phil Haack, Tim Heuer and Damian Edwards, and told stories about working at Microsoft. It was definitely irreverent to say the least. I think it was taped and I'll post it as soon as I see it's up.
Hope you enjoy them! Remember, if the smooth streaming doesn't work, you can always download the offline versions.

Kanae Kijima, 37, met her victims online. She picked lonely nerds. She took their money, and then, she killed them.
Yet, as horrible as Kijima was, she supposedly has a group of female admirers. They're called "Kanae girls", and according to Japan's Shukan Bunshun, they have been "conspicuous in the courtroom".
One Kanae girl apparently told Shukan Bunshun, "Men being taken in by a woman like Kijima give me a kind of satisfaction. Serves them right." Oh.
Fans of criminals are not a Japan-only phenomenon. The U.S. has seen plenty of this twisted celebrity culture. Heck, Quentin Tarantino wrote a movie about it. Moreover, these "Kanae girls" are hardly mainstream. They do seem to enjoy the power Kanae, who is hardly considered attractive in Japan, wielded over men.
"I've been trolling marriage sites for a year without meeting anyone worth meeting," a 30-something year-old told Shukan Bunshun. "I thought I could learn something from her. Also, I wanted to know the psychology of men who could be so utterly taken in."
Taken in, and killed.

Report: Copper theft threatens infrastructure
By: Brian Santo, CedMagazine.com
The theft of everything copper has been on the rise and is threatening critical U.S. infrastructure, concludes a new FBI report. The threat may have been diminishing even as the report was being written, however.
A tremendous increase in the value of copper encouraged the widespread theft of copper items, everything from manhole covers to public statuary to wiring and cell towers, which has been a growing concern of public utilities and communications companies.
Copper prices reached an all-time high of $4.26 per pound in May, due to a combination of growing demand and tightening supply. The cost began to erode shortly thereafter, however, and as the recession grew deeper, began to plunge. It closed at $1.50 yesterday, and some analysts expect it could go as low as $1/lb.
Reporting relative to the impact of copper thefts on U.S. critical infrastructure was derived from the FBI and open sources. The FBI has high confidence that the FBI source reporting used to prepare the assessment is reliable. The FBI also has high confidence in the reliability of information derived from open-source reporting.
The report notes that on April 4, five tornado warning sirens in the Jackson, Miss., area did not warn residents of an approaching tornado because copper thieves had stripped the sirens of copper wiring, thus rendering them inoperable.
Despite the sudden drop in prices, global demand is likely to regain strength as the world economy recovers.
The report states that industry officials have taken some countermeasures to address the copper theft problem. "These include the installment of physical and technological security measures, increased collaboration among the various industry sectors, and the development of law enforcement partnerships."
The report goes on to say: "Many states are also taking countermeasures by enacting or enhancing legislation regulating the scrap industry – to include increased recordkeeping and penalties for copper theft and noncompliant scrap dealers. However, there are limited resources available to enforce these laws, and a very small percentage of perpetrators are arrested and convicted. Additionally, as copper thefts are typically addressed as misdemeanors, those individuals convicted pay relatively low fines and serve short prison terms."

Romney Set To Endorse Scott Brown In Senate Race
Mitt Romney, the Republican nominee for president in 2012, is coming to New Hampshire to endorse Scott Brown's bid for U.S. Senate.
Next week's visit comes as some Romney supporters are urging him to consider another White House run in 2016. Romney, a former governor of Massachusetts who won the New Hampshire primary in 2012, has said repeatedly he won't run again.
Brown won a 2010 special election in Massachusetts to fill the Senate seat left vacant when Edward Kennedy died. He was beaten two years later by Elizabeth Warren. Brown moved to New Hampshire in December and formally announced his Senate campaign in April.
He faces a September primary against former U.S. Sen. Bob Smith and former state Sen. Jim Rubens. The winner faces incumbent Democrat Jeanne Shaheen.

White Sox welcome back Bo Jackson as Team Ambassador
CHICAGO - The Chicago White Sox today announced that Bo Jackson, former Sox outfielder and designated hitter and member of the 1993 American League West Division Champion White Sox, is rejoining the organization as a team ambassador. Jackson, who was designated the "Greatest Athlete of All Time" by ESPN's Sports Science, played for the White Sox from 1991-93.
Jackson joins other White Sox legends as team ambassadors, including recently announced Hall of Fame inductee Frank Thomas, Hall of Famer Carlton Fisk, Ron Kittle, Carlos May, Bill Melton and Minnie Minoso. He will make appearances on behalf of the organization and serve as a team representative in the community and throughout baseball. Jackson also is the founder of the "Bo Bikes Bama." The annual charity bike ride, which hosts its third event this April, raises funds for tornado relief since Alabamians faced deadly tornadoes in 2011. Jackson was honored in 2013 with MLB's Beacon Award, which recognizes individuals whose lives have been emblematic of the spirit of the civil rights movement.
"Bo is an American sports legend, who always will hold a special place in hearts of White Sox fans" said White Sox chairman Jerry Reinsdorf. "His heroic return from what seemed to be a catastrophic career-ending injury helped us win a division title in 1993 and demonstrated to the sports world an unrivaled will and determination to be the best. It is great to again welcome Bo Jackson as a member of the White Sox."
The former MLB All-Star (1989) played eight seasons in the Major Leagues as an outfielder with Kansas City (1986-90), White Sox (1991, 93) and California (1994). Jackson was selected by Kansas City in the fourth round of the 1986 Draft out of Auburn University. He was a career .250 hitter with 141 home runs, 415 RBI and 82 stolen bases in 694 Major League games. In 1993 with the White sox, Jackson dramatically returned from hip replacement surgery to homer in his first at-bat of the season vs. the New York Yankees at Comiskey Park. On September 27 that same season, Jackson belted a three-run home run off of the Seattle Mariners at Comiskey Park to help the White Sox clinch the AL West Division title.
Jackson is the only player in history to be named an All-Star in two professional sports. After being named the 1985 Heisman Trophy Award winner and playing four seasons as a running back in the NFL, Jackson was elected a starter during the 1989 Midsummer Classic. He was named MVP after robbing a home run in the top of the first inning to save two runs and going 2-for-4 with a home run, stolen base and two RBI.

Last week, we reported that there is a very strong possibility of Apple officially launching the iPad 2 in India. Well, it's official now!
Apple has just announced that they will be officially selling the second generation iPad in India. The magical tablet device will be available across India beginning from April 29th.
Along with India, the iPad 2 will also be available in Japan, Hong Kong, Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Israel, South Africa, UAE, Turkey and Mac on April 29th. The iPad 2 packs in a dual-core A5 processor, a GPU which is nearly 9x times more powerful than its predecessor, and 512MB of RAM.
Apple has also gone ahead and unveiled the prices of the iPad 2 in India. The 16GB Wi-Fi model of the iPad 2 will carry a MRP of Rs. 29,500, while the 32GB and the 64GB will retail for a MRP of Rs. 34,500 and Rs. 39,500, respectively.

You can't stop nature
Why does it have to be so complicated? All we ask of nature is to be able to do what we want to do; no more, no less. We like to think of our impact on the world as controlled and businesslike, with only one variable changing at a time. But no matter how hard we try to keep things simple, they won't stay simple. Nature is not just one thing: it's everything. And it just won't stop.
Take, for example, fires. They bother us all a lot --- that ugliness, the blackened trees, the homeless wildlife and more often lately, the homeless homeowners -- not to mention all the burned-up timber. So for decades we have followed a simple rule: Stop forest fires. The problem is that nature changes in response to change. Without the cleansing effects of frequent burns, dense fuels accumulate -- live saplings form dense thickets, dead brush piles up -- and fires when they come are terrible to behold. Our best efforts to protect the forests have made things worse.
Then there's global warming. This one seems really unfair. We didn't think nature was even involved with it. All we did was burn the cheapest, most perfect fuels we could find: fossil fuels. This burning has produced almost miraculous economic and technological growth. Who would have thought to worry about changing the huge and seemingly unchangeable atmosphere? For many decades -- no one. But all that time, as carbon dioxide levels invisibly rose, nature was paying attention. It was changing, in many, many ways. So now, when we have finally taken notice, we see changes everywhere we look, from the vanished glaciers of Kilimanjaro to the melting permafrost of Alaska, from the blooming times of wildflowers to the breeding ranges of birds.
You'd think we might have learned one lesson by now: When it comes to the environment, we don't know what we are doing. Or, more precisely, we might know one particular thing we're doing, but we have no idea of everything we're doing. What to do with this lesson? A reasonable response would be to exercise a certain caution when it comes to "managing" nature. But it doesn't seem to be working that way, judging by some proposals for dealing with global warming.
The logic goes like this: The almost endlessly complicated consequences of global warming come from one change -- rising carbon dioxide levels. So, couldn't we make just one other change to get things back to the way they were? That is the temptation of the simple, and apparently, it's irresistible.
Some of the most gifted scientists in the world have proposed technological interventions to reverse or mask the effects of carbon dioxide rise. These range from the seemingly plausible to the bizarre. In the latter category is the idea of lofting a Saturn-like ring of micro-satellites into orbit above the Earth, where they would cast a cooling shadow over the equatorial regions.
More plausible is the idea of "ocean fertilization," adding iron to the nutrient-rich but iron-poor open ocean. This would stimulate algae blooms that would soak up carbon dioxide. When the algae died and sank, the CO 2 would be effectively "sequestered," or removed from circulation. There have been some small-scale tests of this concept, which suggest that it could work. Several commercial firms now propose to begin adding iron to the world's oceans on a massive scale, selling the resulting "carbon credits" to companies facing penalties for their carbon dioxide emissions.
The question is: Would nature let us change just this one thing? Or is it more likely that drastically increasing algae in the world's oceans would have unanticipated effects on fisheries, or the acidity of seawater, or perhaps even currents and global weather patterns? Have we ever, even once, made a large change to the global environment that did not produce unanticipated consequences? Has nature ever let us change just one thing?
Ninety years ago, the American humorist H. L. Mencken wrote: "There is always an easy solution to every human problem -- neat, plausible and wrong." Surely it's time to finally abandon the search for easy solutions and begin the task of dealing with the mess that we have made of the world. We really can't delay any longer, because, for her part, Nature just won't stop.

Country legend Dolly Parton says she believes same-sex couples should have the right to marry in a recent interview with British LGBT magazine Event, Gay Star News points out.
"I think everyone should be with whom they love," the singer, who has been a longtime supporter of LGBT rights, told the publication. "I don't want to be controversial or stir up a bunch of trouble but people are going to love who they are going to love.
"I think gay couples should be allowed to marry. They should suffer just like us heterosexuals," she added.
Parton married her husband Carl Dean in 1966, but the couple has been plagued by rumors that Parton is actually in a relationship with her childhood friend Judy Ogle, the British newspaper the Daily Mail reports.
In a recent interview with the Mail, writer Sarfraz Manzoor, who interviewed Parton, says Ogle "quietly" sits in "on her own during our conversation," and then cites a passage from Parton's autobiography "My Life And Other Unfinished Business" about Ogle.
"Most people can't understand two women being so close and devoted to each other. We've never been lovers, just good old pure sweet fun-loving friends," the musician wrote.
Parton, whose 42nd studio album "Blue Smoke" was released in January, told the Mail that if she were gay, she'd be lucky to have Ogle as a partner.
"I didn't know any gay people in my childhood. I do have a lot of gays in my family now, but some will never come out," Parton said.
The country star first announced her support for gay marriage in 2009. As the Advocate reported, Parton appeared on "The Joy Behar Show," and when asked if she is "pro-gay marriage," she said:
"I know that's true. I always say, 'Sure, why can't they get married? They should suffer like the rest of us do.'"
Parton's Dollywood theme park holds an annual "Gay Day" event for her gay following.

Looking to regain (or hang on to) the trim figure you had in your teens? Forget about Atkins and South Beach. Don't sign up for costly gym memberships or trendy exercise classes you don't have time to attend. Instead, try Bus Chick's Diet Plan.
My plan is simple (no counting of carbs, fats, calories, or "points"), effective (judging from all the sexy bus riders I know), and best of all, free. You can still eat ice cream, and you never even have to look at a treadmill–unless, of course, you happen to like them. All you have to do, folks, is drop that other dead weight: your car.
Here's why the plan works (it's not rocket science, but indulge me):
1. You will exercise more.
You will walk to and from bus stops and run to catch buses when you are late. You will walk with grocery bags and shopping bags. (On Saturday, my car-free fiancé walked from his house to mine–about half a mile–with a coffee table.) You will walk up hills. You will walk up stairs. When you get a late-evening craving, you will be forced to walk to the corner store to find that food you are ahankerin' for.
2. You will eat less.
More often than not, you will decide that your late-night craving is not worth the effort of walking to that corner store. Your desire for fast food will also be significantly reduced, since you will no longer have the option of drive throughs. (Does anyone actually sit in those places to eat?) You are less likely to have a lot of junk food in your house, as grocery shopping trips require effort and planning (making them rare), and each item purchased must be carried–and therefore carefully considered.
People of Seattle, stop spending so much money, time, and effort on diets that don't work and try my plan. While I can't promise that you'll end up with the body of Beyonce or The Rock, I can guarantee that you'll lose at least a ton.

Firms responding to the November Business Outlook Survey reported declines in business activity this month following the disruptive effects of Hurricane Sandy on the region. The survey's indicators for general activity, which had shown improvement in October, fell back into negative territory this month. Firms reported slight declines in shipments, employment, and hours worked. Indicators for the firms' expectations over the next six months were near their levels in the previous month, but expectations for future employment and capital spending have weakened in the last two months.
The survey's broadest measure of manufacturing conditions, the diffusion index of current activity, decreased 16 points, to a reading of -10.7. The fallback of the general activity index followed a single positive reading in October that was preceded by five negative monthly readings (see Chart). Nearly 32 percent of firms reported declines in activity this month, while 21 percent reported increases. The demand for manufactured goods, as measured by the current new orders index, declined 4 points from last month and remains in negative territory. Shipments also fell this month: The current shipments index fell 7 points, to -6.7. Declines in inventories were also more widespread this month; 31 percent of firms reported declines compared with 21 percent in October.
Labor market conditions at the reporting firms remained weak this month. The current employment index, at -6.8, was slightly improved from its negative reading in October (-10.7) but has remained negative for five consecutive months. The percentage of firms reporting decreases in employment (20 percent) exceeded the percentage reporting increases (13 percent). Firms also indicated fewer hours worked: The average workweek index was virtually unchanged but posted its eighth consecutive negative reading.
The indexes for prices paid for purchased inputs and for prices received for respondents' own manufactured goods moved higher this month. The prices paid index increased from 19.0 to 27.9, but the increase was attributable to fewer firms reporting lower prices rather than more firms reporting price increases. With respect to their own manufactured goods, the percentage reporting an increase in product prices (16 percent) was greater than the percent reporting a decrease (10 percent). The prices received index increased marginally, from 5.4 to 6.3.
Most of the survey's future indicators suggest modest optimism among the reporting manufacturers. The future general activity index fell modestly from 21.6 to 20.0 (see Chart). The percentage of firms expecting increases in activity over the next six months (43 percent) exceeded the percentage expecting decreases (23 percent) by a significant margin. The indexes for future new orders and shipments improved modestly, rising 3 and 7 points, respectively. The future employment index also fell from 8.0 to 4.2, its second consecutive month of decline. Firms' expectations for future capital spending have also shown weakness in the last two months; the index registered its second consecutive negative reading.
In supplemental questions, firms were asked about disruption in business following Hurricane Sandy, which passed through the region in the final days of October (see Special Questions). The average number of days on which firms experienced reduced activity was 2.2. Nearly a third of the firms indicated that activity was reduced for three days or more. Out of the number of days on which activity was reduced, the average length of time that businesses were either shut down or severely crippled was 1.3 days.
The November Business Outlook Survey suggests that activity in the region's manufacturing sector fell back this month. Firms reported declines in overall activity, new orders, shipments, and employment. But the influence of the recent storm in terms of lost production in the short run and reduced activity for longer periods was evident in firms' responses to questions about the storm's impact on business activity. The survey's future activity indexes suggest that firms expect growth over the next six months; however, expectations for future employment and capital spending continue to show moderation.

Established in 1958, the FOI Center and its founders were central to the effort to enact a national Freedom of Information Act. Four of the people associated with the Center have been named to the National Freedom of Information Act Hall of Fame.
The FOI Center possesses the oldest and most comprehensive Freedom of Information library in the world, with a collection of more than one million articles and documents about access to information at the state, federal and local levels.
Read a bit more about the Center, or get started below.

FEDERAL SAMPLE FOIA REQUEST LETTERS -- While not an exhaustive collection, we've included samples for requests, appeals, and fee waivers, as well as Privacy Act letters for access, appeals, and amending records.
STATE SAMPLE FOIA REQUEST LETTERS -- Most states' FOI laws require that public records requests be made in writing. We've assembled sample letter templates for each state that you can use for preparing and submitting your open records request under your state's public disclosure laws.
AUDITS AND OPEN RECORDS SURVEYS -- The first FOI audit we've a record of was conducted by the Oakland Tribune and the First Amendment Project in 1992 to test how well 30 Bay Area agencies were complying with the California Public Records Act.
FOIA THE FOIAs -- One of the best things you can do when starting your FOIA request is finding out what other FOIA requesters are asking the government. This section shows you how to go about that, and includes an example of FOIA logs from the Persian Gulf War.
MEDIA LAW GUIDE -- Don't be intimidated: anyone can become familiar enough with the law to make a difference. We've assembled an array of links on a wide variety of legal subjects.
FIGHTING CITY HALL -- The late Dr. Ernest Morgan, a former professor at the Missouri School of Journalism, wrote this terrific piece on informal methods for gaining access to meetings and records more than 30 years ago.
INTERNATIONAL FOI LAWS -- Freedom of information is a global phenomenon these days. FOI advocates all over the globe are creating advocacy groups. We've assembled links to FOI laws, academic studies and news of note from all over the world here.
FOI CENTER FILE INDEX -- The FOI Center File Index is a roadmap to the content of research files that have been compiled since the Center was opened in 1958. The Index begins by examining controls imposed by the government—including our own—at every level.
HISTORICAL FILE INDEX -- Since the FOI Center covered the broadest aspects of the Freedom of Information movement, our files have outgrown our ability to store them onsite. Many files are now stored with the University Archives and by prior arrangement may be examined by researchers.

Family loses business after death of teen
BYRON, Minn. (AP) — A benefit in honor of a southeastern Minnesota teenager killed in a traffic crash has been expanded to help her family who this week lost its furniture business in a fire.
The May 5th benefit was organized to raise money for a scholarship in the name of Deej Logan, a 17-year-old killed on the first day of her senior year at Byron High School last September. The scholarship is to be awarded at her classmates' graduation this spring.
On Tuesday, fire destroyed Logan's Furniture, north of Byron. The family business sold hand-made furniture. Fire officials say the building and equipment is a total loss.
Benefit organizer, Bob Eustice, tells the Post-Bulletin the Logan family is devastated, both emotionally and financially. He says the fundraiser will now be in honor of DJ and in support of her family.

Lochend, I didn't say anything about £24bn of oil revenue - I think someone else may have. You've got me wrong if you think Independence to me is primarily about oil revenue.
Correct me if I am wrong, but you seem to be basing your argument for Scotland remaining in the UK on the fact we have a joint means of defence at present and basically it has always (for 300 years anyway) been that way? That would be what I read in to your points relating to Scandinavia and Ireland.
I'm pretty sure there are plenty of people, maybe even supporters of the Union, who wished we didn't have a joint means of defence considering some of the ventures in the recent past!
Finally, what would you say makes the Scots so different from the Irish? Ireland was once part of the same State as us until Independence, so things change. I think the argument that we should stick with the UK because its always been that way in living memory and because of good things that have happened in the past, is about as weak an argument as there is.

That's what I thought too! But then I thought, how is she gonna do that with a helmet on?
According to The Washington Post, last year U.S. poison control centers received reports of more than 10,500 children younger than 5 who were exposed to the capsules. The same year, nearly 220 teens were reportedly exposed, and about 25 percent of those cases were intentional, the paper said, citing data from the American Association of Poison Control Centers.Exposed? You are are exposed to disease, radiation, etc. These knuckleheads are making a choice. The morons pulling guns in public are going to get bystanders killed. Their parents need beat about the head and shoulders with a 2x4.
This is what happens when phone booths are removed from the young peoples habitat. They adapt to new things on their own.http://mentalfloss.com/article/30270/cramming-people-thing-photo-history A perfectly good outlet for rambunctiousness is removed from their landscape, and without adult guidance to safer stupid stuff, they are allowed to come up with stupid stuff on their own. A perfect recipe for detergent eating, fake gun play, extended childhood, etc. If only more parents or teachers would tell their kids not to eat live goldfish then we wouldn't be in this mess when they decide to rebel. This is not helping: https://youtu.be/lSnF-bLVLnw

Foreign carmakers don't need a strong yen (but they're happy to have it)
The European debt crisis has pushed the value of the yen up in relation to the euro in ways that are making a lot of Japanese exporters anxious. As one industrialist told NHK the other night, it isn't the same as the yen's rise against the dollar, a development they can counteract at least partially by increasing production in the U.S. There's relatively little Japanese production capacity in Europe.
Tokyo Shimbun wonders why the drop in the euro hasn't helped Japanese buyers of European cars. While some other European products have dropped in price over the last year due to the exchange rate, cars have stayed the same. The given reason is that manufacturers decide on prices only once a year, so short-term currency rate fluctuations aren't necessarily reflected on sticker prices. However, another reason came from an anonymous industry insider who told the newspaper that makers of European automobiles "have a responsibility to maintain brand value" to customers who pay more under the assumption that when they trade in the car down the line they'll get more money for it. Given that trade-in values of automobiles in Japan are quite low to begin with, this explanation sounds only half right.
To put things into perspective, the value of the euro against the yen has decreased 40 percent since 2007, when it was more than ¥160. During the 2011 calendar year it lost ¥8, which means a windfall of ¥370,000 to makers for a car priced at ¥5 million. And despite the ongoing recession, the number of imports sold in November was 30 percent higher than the number sold in November 2010. According to analysts interviewed by Tokyo Shimbun, Japanese car buyers preferred European cars for their "energy saving qualities and performance." Certain models, in fact, are so popular they're on back order. Consequently, there is absolutely no incentive to reduce prices, and Japanese customers don't really expect it the way they expect Japanese makers to lower prices in order to be competitive.
The fact is, the high yen gets a lot of press in Japan because Japanese manufacturers count so much on overseas sales. Market share in the U.S. and other regions is extremely important. In contrast, the Japan market is a relatively small one for European carmakers. And since many of them have over the past decade bypassed local importers and set up their own dealerships, they can more or less do what they want, and that includes ignoring the social pressure of reflecting the high yen in their prices.
Yet another reason for good sales is the March disaster, which disrupted supply chains for Japanese cars. Foreign car supply was unaffected, resulting in a 7 percent increase in sales (95,452 total sold) for the first half of 2011 alone. BMW, which now sells the Mini, enjoyed an 8.7 percent increase. Interestingly enough, out of all the exporters Volkswagen sold the most and yet saw a decrease of 3.2 percent over the previous year.

All News Releases By Date
Congresswoman McCarthy and EPA Regional Administrator Tour Superfund Sites on Long Island; Federal Officials Joined by Garden City and Hempstead Mayors
Release Date: 04/02/2012
Contact Information: Elias Rodriguez, 212-637-3664 (office), 732-672-5520 (cell), firstname.lastname@example.com
- (New York, N.Y.) U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Regional Administrator Judith A. Enck and Congresswoman Carolyn McCarthy today toured two hazardous waste sites on Long Island to highlight the success of the federal Superfund law in protecting the health of people who live and work near contaminated sites. Mayor Donald Brudie of Garden City and Mayor Wayne J. Hall, Sr. of Hempstead joined the federal officials to mark progress on the cleanup of the Old Roosevelt Field Contaminated Ground Water Area Superfund site in Garden City and the completed cleanup of the Pasley Solvents and Chemicals Superfund site in Hempstead. Others attending today's tour included Adrienne Esposito, Executive Director of the Citizens Campaign for the Environment, and representatives of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, the Nassau County Departments of Health and Public Works and the Garden City and Hempstead Chambers of Commerce.
Superfund is the federal cleanup program established to investigate and clean up the country's most hazardous waste sites. The Superfund program operates on the principle that polluters should pay for the cleanups, rather than passing the costs to taxpayers. When sites are placed on the Superfund list of the most contaminated waste sites, the EPA searches for parties responsible for the contamination and holds them accountable for the costs of investigations and cleanups. Cleanups are only funded by taxpayer dollars when responsible parties cannot be found or are not financially viable.
"The ground water on Long Island is the source of drinking water for a huge population, making it especially important to protect it from contamination," said Judith A. Enck, EPA Regional Administrator. "Today, Congresswoman McCarthy, Mayor Brudie, Mayor Hall and I got a first-hand look at how the federal Superfund program is protecting the health of people who rely on their ground water as a safe source of drinking water. In Garden City, the cleanup is working well and in Hempstead, the EPA achieved the ultimate goal, a complete cleanup that fully protects people and the environment."
Many Superfund sites on Long Island, including the two sites toured today, have contaminated the ground water with volatile organic compounds. Volatile organic compounds can easily evaporate into the air and many are known to cause or are suspected of causing cancer.
Cleanups of Superfund sites have obvious public health and environmental benefits, but they also produce jobs. In 2011, an estimated 1,766 full-time jobs were created through Superfund cleanup projects in New York State.
Today's tour began at an EPA constructed water treatment plant at the Old Roosevelt Field site in Garden City. The site was added to the Superfund list in May 2000 after two public drinking water wells at the site were found to be contaminated with the volatile organic compounds, tetrachloroethene and trichloroethene. The U.S. military began using the site as an airfield prior to World War I and continued to use it as a commercial airport until it closed in May 1951. It is currently the location of the Roosevelt Field Shopping Mall and Garden City Plaza.
In 1999, Garden City installed a system to treat the drinking water. In 2011, the EPA constructed a new ground water treatment system at the site that pulls ground water from underneath the site, treats it to remove contamination and pumps it back into the ground water. The public water supply is routinely tested by Garden City to ensure compliance with federal and state drinking water standards. The treatment system visited today was constructed with renewable building materials and designed to blend into the surrounding architecture. The cleanup is being funded with federal dollars.
The second stop on the tour was the Pasley Solvents and Chemicals Superfund site in Hempstead. It was placed on the Superfund list in 1986 and was taken off the list in September 2011 after the cleanup was determined by the EPA to be complete. The Pasley Solvents and Chemicals site is a former chemical distribution facility that stored and transferred a wide range of volatile organic compounds, including hydrocarbons and solvents. The site was formerly owned by Commander Oil Corporation, which sold the property in 2003 to another company. The Metropolitan Transit Authority operates a police station there today.
The cleanup of the Pasley Solvents and Chemical site was conducted and paid for by the Commander Oil Corporation, with EPA oversight. Several technologies were used to remove contaminants from both the soil and the ground water, ultimately removing approximately 14,000 pounds of volatile organic compounds. The ground water and soil cleanup work was completed in 2004. The EPA removed the Pasley Solvents and Chemicals site from the Superfund list after several rounds of assessment and monitoring to make sure the cleanup was successful. The site no longer poses a threat to public health or the environment.

Halo 4 is going to be huge. I'm not talking about critical success or sales or anything like that. No, I'm talking about memory storage. In order to play the online multiplayer portion of Master Chief's next outing, players will have to free up at least 8 GB of space.
There are whole games taht don't require 8 gigabytes of space. The word comes from Microsoft itself, on this tips page for the upcoming 343 Industries game:
At a minimum, you'll need at least an 8GB USB Flash Drive or an Xbox 360 Hard Drive to play Multiplayer mode in Halo 4. For an optimal experience playing with an Xbox 360 Hard Drive is highly recommended.
That means that people who purchased the lower-priced 4GB Xbox 360 will have to figure out some method for extra storage. Of course, Microsoft takes the opportunity to try and upsell folks to their overpriced Xbox branded USB sticks, but any ol' USB storage solution will work as long as it's been reformatted to work with the console.
I don't remember any of the Bungie-developed Halos mandating a certain amount of space to get multiplayer up and running. Maybe this requirement has something to do with caching data for all that episodic content that's been promised for Halo 4? Or this could be an opportunity for Microsoft to start building buzz for the inevitable Halo 4 game+console bundle that will probably launch this fall.
(Thanks, tipster Richard!)

Looking for someone to play at Kellogg whenever. I'm about a 3.0-4.0
Views: 154
Replies to This Discussion
Too late for today but I can play tomorrow. I consider myself to be 3.0 to 3.5 level, playing once a week and looking for one more time per week ongoing.
[edit: please share private info via PM or Friend Request]
Weekday afternoons after 530pm are good for me.
I don't play as much anymore, but I need to get back into tennis. I'm around a 3.0-4.0
Saturdays work sometimes as well.
I'm down for singles or doubles.
I live close by Kellogg and would be up for playing. Usually I do singles, but if you want to get four people together we could do doubles. My schedule is pretty flexible, I'm somewhere around a 3.0, maybe 3.5 on a good day if my serves go in. Dunno if you've spent some time around there but there is a group that meets every Saturday morning and plays rotating doubles from about 10am to 2pm or so, it's free and it's pretty laid back and fun. Shoot me a message or call my cell at [edit: please share private info via PM or Friend Request] if you want to set up a time to hit.

Envisage is a distinctive new grotesk design by Alex Kaczun. Characterized by distinct details throughout as particularly visable in the capitals A, H and N. There is a more organic and natural feel to the overall design as in the sutle curves introduced in many of the lower case letter forms, specifically the a, h, m and n. And, especially evident in the warm overall curves within the l'case g.
In addition, incorporating flexibility in form and function, Alex has also included alternate letter forms in this OpenType font; allowing the graphic designer a choice in the overall look and feel.
Envisage has impact and zeal. It's a wonderful choice for a distinctively unique headline treatment, and works equally well in text in a large range of point sizes. Use this friendlier sans serif as an alternate to Futura and Gill Sans. We think you will like what you see.
The large Pro font character set supports most Central European and many Eastern European languages.

Friday's first of three days of betting in Churchill Downs' final Kentucky Derby Future Wager ("KDFW") of 2012 featured strong support for 2-year-old champion and Grey Goose Breeders' Cup Juvenile (Grade I) winner Hansen (#8), and the flashy gray winner of the Gotham Stakes (GIII) ended the day as a strong 2-1 favorite among the pool's 24 wagering interests.
Morning Line favorite Union Rags (#22), who is also favored in Sunday's Florida Derby (GI) at Gulfstream Park, was a solid favorite during the pool's early hours, but early evening betting action drove down the odds of Dr. Kendall Hansen and Sky Chai Stables' gray son of Tapit, who is expected to make his next start in the Toyota Blue Grass (GI) at Keeneland on April 14.
Union Rags, owned by Chadds Ford Stable and trained by Michael Matz, was a 9-2 risk when betting closed Friday evening, with the mutuel field (#24), or "All Others," in the third spot at 6-1.
Bettors at racetracks and off-track betting centers and online at TwinSpires.com and other advance deposit wagering outlets platforms wagered $83,488 on Friday, a total that included $18,732 in exacta betting.
Kentucky Derby Future betting will resume on Saturday at noon (all times Eastern) and the pool will conclude on Sunday, April 1 at special closing time of 6:30 p.m. (Eastern). KDFW pools normally close at 6 p.m., but wagering in the pool will be extended by 30 minutes to allow fans to consider the results of the $1 million Louisiana Derby (GII) at Fair Grounds, which has a scheduled Sunday post time of 5:55 p.m.
The Kentucky Derby Future Wager allows fans of the famed "Run for the Roses" the opportunity to wager on contenders for the race weeks in advance. Those bettors will receive odds that are in place at Sunday's conclusion of betting, and those odds could be considerably larger and more attractive than those available at Churchill Downs on the day of the race. The Kentucky Derby Future Wager is a $2 minimum wager and offers win and exacta wagering, along with $1 exacta boxes and part-wheels.
Other well-supported horses in Pool 3 opener included San Felipe (GII) winner Creative Cause (#3, 12-1), Kentucky Jockey Club (GII) winner Gemologist (#7, 13-1), Florida Derby hope El Padrino (#6, 24-1) and Rebel (GII) runner-up Optimizer (#17, 24-1).
Real time odds and other information on the Kentucky Derby Future Wager can be found at the official event Web site at www.KentuckyDerby.com.

The idea hit me when I was in my Elliptic Curve Cryptography class. $Z_n \leftrightarrow Z_{f_1} \times Z_{f_2} \times ...$ where $f_1 \times f_2 \times ... = n$ and $\{f_1, f_2, ...\}$ are pairwise coprime. Applications of this Chinese Remainder Theorem not only include computational speedups (in the case of decryption in RSA) but also stronger cryptographic attacks against $Z_n$ (for example, Pollard Rho factoring exploits this structure). Can we extend these applications into other areas? (Admittedly I don't know many computationaly examples where this could be useful, but can imagine that Mathematica/Maple would find some uses).
So the real question: is this property just a "coincidence" or are there analogs in other groups? If there are, is there some group theory analog that applies equally well to every group? If there are not, what underlying structure in the natural numbers makes this possible?

Ariane 5 ECA
|Main data
|Ariane 5 ECA
|up to 53 m
|up to 5.4 m
|Liftoff mass*
|780 t
|Payload mass**
|10.0 t
* dual-satellite launch
** into GTO
Ariane 5 ECA missions
Ariane 5 ECA is designed to deliver payloads, mainly communications satellites, weighing up to 10 t into GTO, including the supporting structure and adaptors. With its increased capacity, Ariane 5 ECA can handle dual launches of very large satellites.
This version of the launcher maintains Europe's competitiveness in the commercial space transport sector by offering customers the opportunity to launch a wider range of heavier satellites.
Owing to its performance and flexibility to adapt to different missions requirements, Ariane 5 ECA is also used by institutional customers for non-GTO missions (for example, launching ESA's Herschel and Plank scientific missions in 2009).
Ariane 5 ECA elements
Ariane 5 ECA is an improved version of the Ariane 5 generic launcher. Although it has the same general architecture, a number of major changes were made to the basic structure of the generic version to increase thrust and enable it to carry heavier payloads. This launcher configuration consists of three parts.
1. Lower composite (EAP and EPC)
The lower composite comprises:
- Two boosters (EAP: Etage d'Accélération à Poudre): 3 m diameter, 31 m high, each with 240 t of solid propellant, together providing 1200 t of thrust at liftoff. The maximum thrust during flight can reach 1300 t. EAP burns for about 135 s. After separating from the main stage they reenter the atmosphere above the Atlantic Ocean.
- The cryogenic main core stage (EPC: Etage Principal Cryotechnique): 5.4 m diameter, 30 m high, containing 175 t of propellants (25 t of liquid hydrogen and 150 t of liquid oxygen), with the Vulcain 2 engine providing 136 t of thrust. EPC operates for about 540 s. It also provides roll control during the main propulsion phase. At shut down, EPC separates from the upper composite at an altitude between 160 km and 210 km, depending on the mission's trajectory, and performs a destructive reentry in the atmosphere over the Atlantic Ocean.
- Total liftoff thrust is about 1340 t.
The Vulcain 2 engine is ignited first. A few seconds later, when it reaches its nominal operating level, the two solid-propellant boosters are fired.
2. Upper composite (ESC-A, VEB and supporting structure)
The upper composite comprises:
- The cryogenic upper stage (ESC-A: Etage Supérieur Cryotechnique de type A) with 14.7 t of propellant (liquid hydrogen and oxygen). The reliable HM7B engine providing 6.5 t of thrust is reused from Ariane 4's third stage. It operates for about 945 s and also provides attitude control during the propulsion phase and the separation sequences of the payloads.
- The Vehicle Equipment Bay (VEB-C), 'the brain', autonomously controls the whole vehicle. Its structure is made of composite material. The VEB transmits all key flight parameters to the ground station network.
- The supporting structure interfacing with the payload. This conical adaptor is mounted on top of the VEB and provides the standard 2624 mm diameter interface with the payload adaptor.
3. Launcher upper part (fairing and Sylda 5)
The launcher upper part comprises:
- The fairing protecting the payload at liftoff and during atmospheric flight (5.4 m diameter, 20 m high). The fairing is split into two pyrotechnically and jettisoned more than 3 minutes after liftoff, at an altitude above 100 km.
The structure accommodating the lower and upper satellites, Sylda 5 (Système de Lancement Double Ariane 5): 4.6 m diameter and height varies from 4.9–6.4 m in increments of 0.3 m. Six versions accommodate the various sizes of satellites.

Gura Humorului
Travel Guide Europe Romania Bucovina Gura Humorului
Keep Connected
Internet cafes exist in most cities and towns. The number of internet cafes seems to be declining in bigger cities recently because of cheap availability of computers and the rising living standard here. Wifi is widely available in University areas, airports, public squares, parks, cafes, hotels and restaurants. Pay-as-you-go Wifi is also available in many venues. If uncertain, look for plazas near the Town Hall, large parks or other important buildings. Most (if not all) McDonald's restaurants and Starbucks in Romania have Wifi access and so do most 3-star (and higher) hotels.
See also International Telephone Calls
Romania's country code is +40. To dial to other countries from Romania, dial 00 and then the international number usually without the first 0.
Public phones work well and are available in all areas. You must purchase a phonecard from a kiosk to use them. When dialing within Romania, dial 0 + three digit area code + six digit telephone.
There are five networks - four GSM/3G (Orange Romania, Vodafone, Cosmote and DigiMobil) and one CDMA (Zapp). Orange and Vodafone have almost full national coverage (98-99% of the surface of the country), while the newly-merged Cosmote+Zapp are expanding quickly. Tariffs are average for the European Union (€0.08-0.30/min, €0.04 per SMS). Both pre-paid cards and subscriptions are available, and special options for discounted international calls exist with some pricing plans. Roaming is available but is, like in most of the EU, rather expensive. Pre-paid cards or recharge codes can be bought in almost every shop, either rural or urban.
On prepaid SIMs you can activate extra options ("extraopţiune") starting from €5 (+ 24% VAT) in total = RON27-32, with a validity period of 30 days, containing thousands (200 -3,000) of minutes and SMSs within the same network and up to 100 minutes outside the network, including most European Union fixed land-line networks and two or three mobile networks.
Posta Romana is the national postal service of Romania. Postal services are generally very affordable, reliable and reasonably fast. Post boxes are red and can be found near the post offices, along the street or in main train stations. Post offices can be found in even the smallest towns and the opening hours are generally Monday to Friday from 7:30am to 6:00pm and Saturday 8:00am to 12:00, closed on Sunday. You can buy stamps here or at kiosks. Prices for international mail start at around €0.55 and takes at least 3-5 days to countries within Europe. It's slightly cheaper and faster for domestic mail to be send. Intercontinental post is slightly more expensive but takes much longer. For slightly more expensive but faster and more reliable services you can also try international courier companies like TNT, DHL, FedEx or UPS.

Growing up with five rambunctious older brothers and five frisky sisters is good enough reason why Cheryl Young excels at martial arts. She is well on her way to a black belt in Tae Kwon Do and is a dynamite kickboxer.
"My long legs give me a lot of reach," says Young, who stands 5 feet 11 inches tall and is seventh in the brood of 11.
She really kicks it as a financial advisor too: sole producer in her independent practice, Young & Associates, she manages client assets of $641 million.
"I'd like it to be a billion. But that's okay—we'll get there!" says the CEO cheerily.
In the heart of Silicon Valley, Young, whose broker-dealer is Raymond James Financial Services, specializes in stock options strategies. Clients are chiefly high tech entrepreneurs, pro athletes (including quite a few San Francisco 49ers) and women on their own.
"I've seen so many people do stupid things with stock options. With [only] one stock, you're rolling the dice," she says from her office in Campbell, Calif.
The brainy CFP is out to prevent such stupidities by educating clients on the benefits of a genuine financial plan.
"A lot of advisors will just manage the money, but our approach is collaborative. We go deep-dive into the financial planning aspect," says the 39-year-old Young, who is also a chartered financial consultant (ChFC).
An advisor for 14 years, Young has taught more than 100 finance classes to senior management of Fortune 50 companies—like Apple, AT&T, IBM and Microsoft . She gives the executives insight on how their stock options work and ways to save for retirement. Some sessions concentrate on complex strategies.
With clients, "many people are in love with their own stock," she says. "We help them understand the risks and to separate emotions from fundamentals."
Key to Young's success is caring attention given to every client.
"Cheryl is constantly guiding us to make sure we're protected. She tries to do what's right for you. She's able to synthesize people's ideas and interests, put together a plan that fits them and execute on it," says long-time client Robert Mitro, owner of FaceOn Mobile, an app developer in Santa Cruz, Calif.
A Presidential Scholar at New Mexico State University, Young was, in college, on a path to become a neurologist and study the brain. Today she delves into clients' psychological responses.
Generally, investors "are either very scared to take any risks or greedy to the point of having gambling-type tendencies," she says. "So understanding behavioral psychology is critical: If you don't know what motivates them to make changes, they won't make any. I need to understand what drives them."
With special interest in advising single females, Young holds supportive "Women and Wine" nights with freedom to ask any and all investment questions. The women-only series stems from her mother's lack of financial savvy when, after 26 years of child-rearing, she and Young's engineer father divorced.
"My dad did everything—so my mom was left with no sense of finance," she says. "I vowed to educate every woman I could."
Teaching classes at major companies was how she built her client base at American Express Financial Advisors (now Ameriprise). With no natural market of affluent prospects, she plugged away at cold calling.
"It was very difficult starting out," she says. "This business can eat you alive."
Then she had a brilliant idea: She would teach finance to employees of big firms in the Silicon Valley.
"I thought that if I can make people understand [investing] and they believed and trusted me, I'd get clients," the ace presenter recalls. Snagging a contract at Nortel led to speaking gigs at other companies too—and a fast-expanding book.
Educating folks was nothing new. The second-eldest of six sisters-in-a-row, the Las Cruces, N.M., native had lots of experience, even teaching the youngest of all siblings, six years her junior, how to read and write. "I used to call her my baby," she says.
It was "absolutely a madhouse" childhood, the FA recalls. But those "rough" years fostered a competitive streak that has served Young well.
"When there are 11," she says, "you don't get any attention or praise from your parents. I was probably very over-competitive just trying to get some attention and was always really, really adamant about a being the best in my class."
She graduated from high school at 16 and by 20 had earned a degree in psychology and business administration. A whiz at calculus, she decided to minor in business while helping a boyfriend study for finance classes—a task that sparked an immediate fascination with the subject.
By medical school, she was running an investment club and liked finance well enough to explore part-time advisory work to pay for the rest of her schooling.
But "I was so naïve," she says. "No way is this is a part-time job!"
At 24, discouraged by what she considered medicine's failure to focus on preventive care, Young dropped out of school to join American Express as an FA trainee in San Jose, Calif. Two years later she moved to the firm's independent side and in 2009 left to set up shop as Young & Associates.
Off-hours, the advisor does a cool job balancing work and home life, enjoying family activities with her husband Todd Young, the COO of an educational high tech firm, and their three boys, 9, 7 and 2.
Not surprisingly, she is conscientiously health-conscious, and exercise is a big priority. A hardcore marathon runner, Young nonetheless rates combat sports her favorite work-out, with kickboxing the No. 1 de-stressor.
"There's nothing like it to get angst out of your system. I highly recommend it," she says.

Zimmerman verdict brings protests, prayers
- The Coalition for Justice for Trayvon plans nationwide protests
- Noon prayers are planned for Monday
- Rally set for front of Sanford courthouse
SANFORD, FLA. — A rally in front of the courthouse Sunday and a "Noon Prayer Day" at churches Monday were among events scheduled as this central Florida city began its recovery from George Zimmerman's trial.
The Coalition for Justice for Trayvon responded to Saturday's not-guilty verdict by calling for nationwide protests Sunday. The protests, the group said in a statement, "will look toward a New America, where black and brown youth are protected by the justice system and racial oppression is ended." The coalition said the verdict was a failure of the entire criminal justice system.
In Sanford, the rally was set for the courthouse at 3 p.m. ET. Events also were planned in cities from New York to Madison, Wis., to Los Angeles as the nation reacts to the not-guilty verdict handed down by a jury of six women in this once-quiet city.
The Sanford Pastors Connecting, an alliance of Seminole County churches formed after the shooting, said it is sponsoring the noon prayers Monday to promote peace and unity in the community.
"Our call is to pray for our community for the long-term unity, peace and strength of relationships," said the Rev. Charlie Holt of St. Peter's Episcopal Church in Lake Mary. "Our churches welcome any and all to come and offer prayer to the Lord for ourselves, for all involved and for our community."
Holt said his church was delighted to participate in the community effort. "Prayer is what it takes to continue to move forward in our ever-changing society," Holt said.
The alliance is focused on moving the city of Sanford forward and strengthening relations within the community. Members of the group sat in on the Zimmerman trial on a daily basis.

ISS crew inspired by vision and dreams of Jules Verne
The Expedition 17 crew were treated to some new reading material on board the International Space Station. Among the cargo to arrive at the Station with ATV Jules Verne last April was an original 19th century luxury edition of Jules Verne's book De la Terre à la Lune, and two of his handwritten manuscripts.
Video message
The crew recently retrieved the book and manuscripts from the Automated Transfer Vehicle's cargo hold. Expedition 17 Commander Sergei Volkov recorded a video message to mark the occasion which was played following yesterday's ISS Heads of Agencies meeting in Paris, France.
The manuscripts, which are on loan from the Amiens Metropole Library, are part of a collection devoted to French author and science fiction pioneer Jules Verne, for which Europe's first Automated Transfer Vehicle is named.
In one of the handwritten documents dating from between 1890 and 1899, Jules Verne explores several distances in astronomy, indicating how long it would take to cover each distance by foot, by train and at the speed of light. The second manuscript, thought to date from 1876, is a celestial chart, showing the constellations Aquila, Orion, Pegasus and Virgo.
Reach to the stars
Addressing the ISS Heads of Agencies during a live audio link with the Space Station crew, NASA astronaut and Expedition 17 Flight Engineer Gregory Chamitoff reflected on how Jules Verne's stories have inspired generations of dreamers to reach to the stars.
"It is very much an honour and a privilege to be working on the Space Station at a time when a vehicle called Jules Verne is docked," said Chamitoff. "It has proven that the European partners have achieved a high level of technology and, along with Columbus, it gives Europeans a permanent foothold in space for long duration science and exploration."
ESA Director General Jean-Jacques Dordain thanked the ISS crew for taking time out from their duties to participate in the call. Reflecting on the Jules Verne theme of the event, Dordain added, "It was not only a link between Paris and the Space Station; it was also a link between the past and the future, and I would say also a link between dreams and reality."
Dordain closed the event by announcing plans to undock ATV Jules Verne the period between 5-22 September; with the destructive re-entry into Earth's atmosphere and the end of ATV's mission scheduled for 29 September 2008.

Ignorance of necessity is what causes its downfall. Marxism calls for representation of the masses in decision making. Marxism may work, but only if no one has greed, or lethargy, or any other character problem. (good luck)

Breaking down R150: Depth over stars
Ever since the members of the class of 2013 burst onto the scene as freshmen, we've been expecting big things out of them.
So far, the class has delivered on that promise. Looking over recent classes, it is perhaps the strongest top-to-bottom class since 2007.
Of course, a lot of that depends on how one defines a strong class.
If the definition is a mega-class such as those in 2004 and 2007 that each produced in the neighborhood of 40 NBA players, then it's a bit premature to expect success like that.
There will be lots of pros, but the strength in the 2007 class -- at least at this juncture - is not an overwhelming amount of future NBA talent.
What makes the class of 2013 a potentially strong one is the overall depth of the class. The first five of Julius Randle, Jabari Parker, Aaron Harrison, Andrew Harrison and Aaron Gordon have separated themselves.
Then, the next three of Chris Walker, Kasey Hill and James Young are nipping at their heels.
After that first eight, though, the difference between Anthony Barber at No. 9, Tyler Ennis at No. 21[/db], Ikenna Iroegbu at No. 100 and Jon Severe at No. 150 isn't nearly as wide as the numbers would suggest.
Let's talk five-stars
For now, we've made the decision to go ahead and cap the five-stars at 20. While it's a good class, we're not quite ready to go beyond that number.
This time around, there are two players who enter five-star territory for the first time. California big man Marcus Lee jumps up 18 places from No. 33 to No. 15. The other new five-star is a big man as Memphis native Austin Nichols climbs up 26 spots from No. 43 to No. 17.
More for four
While Rivals.com was a little more reserved in handing out five stars, the four-star range extends all the way out to Floridian big man Demetrius Henry (a newcomer to the rankings) at No. 110.
At No. 25 nationally, Canadian import Xavier Rathan-Mayes is among the bigger movers, climbing 23 spots from No. 48.
Committed to Connecticut, shot-blocking big man Kentan Facey makes the highest entrance into the rankings going from unranked to No. 62 nationally.
The biggest mover within the rankings is versatile Georgia guard Tim Quarterman, a former three-star prospect who moves up a whopping 67 spots from No. 130 to No. 63.
Climbers and newcomers
In total, there are 15 new members of the Rivals150.
As mentioned earlier, Kentan Facey makes the highest debut at No. 62. Others who debut in the top 100 include point guard Wesley Clark at No. 68, BYU commit Eric Mika at No. 69, 7-foot-plus big man Mamadou Ndiaye at No. 81 and point guard Ikenna Iroegbu at No. 100.
As mentioned earlier, Tim Quarterman is the biggest mover inside the rankings with his 67-spot climb.
The others making sizeable climbs are Demetrius Jackson (70 to 27), Tyler Roberson (53 to 29), (Zakarie Irvin (68 to 31), Jordan Mickey (51 to 38), Roddy Peters (100 to 39), Derrick Walton (57 to 44), Stanford Robinson (61 to 48), Markel Crawford (86 to 50), Matt Thomas (104 to 55), Moses Kingsley (78 to 59), Jordan Bell (77 to 67), Brandon Austin (123 to 71), John Egbunu (121 to 75), Damien Jones (100 to 79), Jordan Mathews (97 to 85), Vincent Hunter (114 to 95), Kyle Washington (120 to 96), Rashawn Powell (112 to 98), Demarcus Croaker (139 to 99), Johnathan Motley (144 to 102), Luke Fischer (124 to 113), Torren Jones (131 to 114), Dayshon Smith (150 to 121) and Josh Brown (142 to 127).
