Utrecht has ca. 340,000 inhabitants, making it the fourth city in the Netherlands, including 30,000 students. Located in the east of the city, the university
In a country which lies largely below sea level, water management is a key issue. The Dutch have been experts in keeping their feet dry ever since they settled in the marshy lands surrounding the Rhine delta, and today many countries and cities around the world call in help from Holland whenever they face a water-related challenge.
Since the realization of the Delta Works, a large system of dams, dykes, locks and storm surge barriers in the Southwest of the country, the seafront is safe. A bigger challenge than horizontal water is vertical water: salty groundwater pushing through the polders, but mainly the increase in precipitation due to the climate change.
The Dutch approach this challenge in an equally innovative and pragmatic manner, with projects including land reclamation, water retention squares, underground rainwater storage and house boat neighbourhoods.

Steven R. Brodaczynski
1952 - 1970
Tri-City Herald 1/20/1970
A Richland youth, Steven R. Brodaczynski, 17, died Monday near Spokane when the toboggan on which he was sledding collided with a slow moving auto.
Brodaczynski was a high-school senior at Mater Cleri Catholic Seminary at Colbert, 17 miles north of Spokane.
His parents, Mr. And Mrs. Raymond R. Brodaczynski, 204 Armistead St., Richland, say little is known yet about the accident, but apparently, the toboggan slid broadside into the auto during a supervised outing. The incident occurred near the seminary. A companion at the school was hospitalized in Spokane with Injuries.
Brodaczynski was born Sept. 4, 1952 in Pasco. He received his education at Christ the King School, Richland, and St. Peter the Apostle School at Cowiche near Yakima.
Survivors include his parents; sisters, Margaret and Carol; brother Gregory, all Richland; Maternal grandparents, Mr. And Mrs. C.M. Deschane, Spokane, and maternal grandfather, Edwin Brodaczynski.
The funeral mass is tentatively set for 11 a.m. Friday at Christ the King Church, with the Most Rev. Cornelius M. Power, D.D., Bishop of Yakima, officiating. Rosary has not been set, but is expected to be Thursday night at Einan's Desert Memorial Chapel.
Spokane Daily Chronicle Jan. 19, 1970
An 18 year-old youth was pronounced dead on arrival at Holy Family Hospital this afternoon after a sled on which he was riding was in a collision with a car near Colert, State Trooper Otto H. Krouse said.
The dead youth was identified as Steven R. Brodaczynski, 18, Richland, a seminarian at Mater Cleri Seminary.
Holy Family Hospital attendants said a second youth on the sled George E. Donald (Should read Eugene D. George), 15, Route 1, Kamiah, Idaho suffered a head cut, rib and back injuries and was reported in serious condition. He is a seminarian at Mater Cleri.
Krouse said the matter was still under investigation and would not disclose the name of the driver of the car involved.
The accident happened near Burnhill Road in the Colbert area and the trooper said the youths were sledding on a hill and the sled came out onto the road.
The above photo of Steve was taken within weeks of the tragic accident on the Mater Cleri grounds that took his life in 1970

About Airman
Airman Mildollar is a United States Air Force officer who writes anonymously about personal finance, especially retirement planning, financial independence/early retirement (FIRE), and the military pay system.
She first started studying personal finance in college, when she realized she didn't understand credit cards, budgeting, or investing. After graduating college and commissioning into the Air Force, Airman paid off $42,000 of debt in 3.5 years while simultaneously starting to invest, just before The Great Recession began. Now in her mid-30s, Airman is financially independent and on her way to being double or even triple FI by the time she retires in her 40s. Her personal finance interests are focused on retirement planning, FIRE, tax optimization, and teaching others that personal finance doesn't have to be difficult or time consuming. She also loves food and dogs.

Heading for the Door
'Tis the season for political appointees to head toward new jobs, and
one of them may be Sally Katzen, deputy director for management at the Office
of Management and Budget. Our sources tell us that she may be taking off
within the next month, even before the dust settles from the presidential
election. She has already stated her intention to leave government with
the change in administration, but some officials are surprised that it might
happen sooner than that.
The Bin Isn't Secure
The Office of Personnel Management received no funding in its fiscal
2001 budget for its part in the administration's Federal Cyber Services
program to bring information security professionals into government and
to provide more training for the ones already there. Agency officials have
said they will do what they can to help the Scholarship for Service initiative,
but they will not take on other new initiatives without funding.
Officials connected to the program are doing what they can to convince
OPM that the agency needs to move on those programs, with or without new
Looking for a Few Good Leaders
As the shortage of information technology workers worsens in both the
government and private sector, Jim Flyzik, the Treasury Department's chief
information officer, has decided to start his own recruitment program to
identify and train the next generation of IT leaders for his department.
The informal program, which begins in January, will select a dozen people
to train and mentor. Close to half the IT managers at Treasury will be eligible
to retire in the next five years, a fact that sends tremors through the
halls of the IT-dependent agency.
"We want to build a cadre of internal talent...individuals who have
demonstrated leadership qualities," Flyzik said in an interview. Meanwhile,
hoping to make Treasury even more customer-friendly, Flyzik has initiated
several name changes in various departments. Among the changes, the communications,
seat contract and in-house IT sections will be gathered under a single umbrella
name Customer Solutions.
This, Too, Shall Not Pass
It was a good idea, but President Clinton's plan to give taxpayers a
$10 credit for filing their taxes electronically got no attention in this
session of Congress, and like many other e-proposals, it died a quiet death.
The Internal Revenue Service is still thinking of new ways to gin up participation,
so stay tuned.
Food for Thought
Worried about what to feed regiments of relatives invading for the holidays?
Ask Uncle Sam. The U.S. military is selling a CD-ROM containing 1,300 convenient
"surefire recipes" for whipping up chow for 100 or more. The recipes cover
items from appetizers to desserts and "are ideal for scouting organizations,
prisons, schools" and other groups, the military assures. The CDs are being
sold through the National Technical Information Service (www.ntis.gov) for
$79, plus $5 for handling. Credit cards accepted.
NIH Net Gets a Lift
The National Institutes of Health's Web site is the latest to get a
facelift to make it customer-driven and not a bureaucratic blueprint. "By
refreshing the look, you're letting people know that your site is evolving
and healthy.... You want to avoid the impression that the site is old and
stale," said Dennis Rodrigues, NIH's Webmaster.

A community-based study in Flint reveals that African-American girls who express fear about their violent surroundings at age 15 experienced a larger increase in body mass index from ages 21 to 32, the U-M School of Public Health researchers found. Photo/University of Michigan
ANN ARBOR, MI -- Young African-American women who live in fear of the violence in their neighborhoods are more likely to become obese when they reach their 20s and 30s, new research from the University of Michigan shows.
The community-based study in Flint, reveals that African-American girls who express fear about their violent surroundings at age 15 experienced a larger increase in body mass index from ages 21 to 32, the U-M School of Public Health researchers found, according to a Michigan News release.
Among the 681 young men and women followed for 18 years, there was no tendency toward obesity when either gender was asked about being the victims of or witnesses to crime.
"The health deteriorating effect of neighborhood crime is not limited to those who are physically beaten, battered or shot. The effect is far beyond a direct physical effect and extends to any individual who perceives the fear," said lead author Dr. Shervin Assari, research investigator in the Center for Research on Ethnicity, Culture and Health in the U-M School of Public Health and Department of Psychiatry. "Chronic anxiety due to fear from living in a high crime neighborhood is taking its toll on Flint residents."
Body Mass Index is based on a calculation using height and weight. A number over 30 is considered obese. The mean BMI for the women moved from 27 to almost 33 over the course of the study, with the range being from 16 to 69.
The study revealed that lifestyle changes such as decreased physical activity, increased food intake, depression, as well as altered activity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis were contributing factors to weight gain.
Across the nation, African-American women struggle the most with weight among all groups, with 57 percent of the population considered obese, according to the Centers for Disease Prevention and Control.
The study, reported in the Archives of Trauma Research, uses data from the Flint Adolescent Study 1994-2012, which followed at-risk students from four Flint public high schools for 18 years.

Finding Community in Online EducationTaking an online course is far more than sitting in front of a computer. To get the full value out of the experience, you need to go deeper – real engagement involves becoming a part of the community of learners. In fact, research supports the development of community in online education as an important factor for maximizing student satisfaction with the experience. This study has shown that there are five key peer-to-peer interactions in online learning are most predictive of sense of community. They are introductions, collaborative group projects, contributing personal experiences, entire class online discussions, and exchanging resources. In this post, we'll talk about how we implement each of these interactions within our UNE Online courses, what our programs'… Read more >>

5 Secrets of a Successful Online StudentGetting an advanced degree online requires drive… and plenty of discipline. The majority of UNE Online graduate students have a full-time job in addition to their schoolwork, and so purposefully have to carve out a space to get coursework done. Taking online courses requires time management. With in-person classes, you have to actually drive to a classroom and sit there next to other students and your instructor. With online education, there are no physical location requirements. Online school helps you maximize your time. Most likely, that's why you chose this path, or are at least seriously considering it. You can fit your education in between other important obligations, but you also know you have to prioritize. The following are five… Read more >>

The 12 Days of Course DevelopmentWhat is Instructional Design? When Christine B. shared with us Aesthetic principles for instructional design, it was like walking in a magic forest with fairy tales hopping from tree branches. Could we have said it better ourselves? The instructional designer "sometimes acts in a role similar to that of the Greek chorus, commenting on the dramatic developments from a privileged standpoint." And sometimes he/she "functions as a companion character who is confidant to the protagonist and who might also act as provocateur or mirror, as Sam does during Frodo's quest in The Lord of the Rings trilogy." "Instructional designers are also in the business of creating "refined and intensified forms of experience." In the spirit of the magic, and… Read more >>

UNE Creates New Track at ACTEM ConferenceThe use of technology plays a vital role in education – not just online education, but education as an entire discipline.

For many educators, attending conferences is one important way to keep current. Significant change for the better Upon reflection of the tracks offered at ACTEM, UNE Instructional Design felt that higher education was underrepresented in Maine's only technology in education conference.

Touching the Third Rail: The Learning Styles (Myth) and Are They Worth YourIt's almost impossible to have a conversation about learning or teaching without invoking the concept of learning styles. Much of the drive behind lesson and course design is based on the need to tailor curriculum to particular or all of the learning styles that your students might come with. Is it practical – or even possible – to teach in a way that a student perceives she learns best? What observations have you made over the years that back up the claim that learning styles matter and can be leveraged? Or even, that they actually exist as a phenomenon? Is It Possible that It's All Just a Myth? While it sounds good and we are emotionally and ethically inclined to… Read more >>

College Acceptance: How UNE Online Creates an Inclusive EnvironmentAn inclusive environment is not easy to define. When looking for colleges, whether online or the more traditional brick and mortar, many students look at tangible areas. Questions often asked are: 'How much will this cost?' 'How long is the program?' 'Are there residency requirements?' 'Is there a decent professor to student ratio?' The list goes on and on. One question that is rarely asked of an institution is 'How will you make me feel like an individual?' On top of this, nobody ever asks 'How will you respect and work with my identities and create an inclusive environment?' Whether social identities (religious, gender, race, etc.) or personal identities (parent, athlete, full-time employee, etc.), these are often areas that… Read more >>

Gamification: The Bartle TestIn academia, "Gamification" is the (lately hyped) practice of applying game design to instructional design. The basic idea behind it is that well designed games motivate players to spend inordinate amounts of time learning the system of the game and boatloads of extra lives and respawns trying to beat/win/"game" the game. If one were to effectively align the artificial system of a game with the real-world process of learning a specific subject, perhaps students would be equally as motivated to learn as they are to study the 100,000 pages of content on the World of Warcraft wiki. Class is already a game, of course. Generally speaking, most teachers know to scaffold the large "boss" challenges (tests, final… Read more >>

Interactive StoriesWe have already talked about writing, let's talk about writing interactive stories. In online courses, writing is often the predominant activity. It's not just styles, grammar, and perfect APA citations that matter, of course. There are lots of skills that students must demonstrate when writing academic papers. What we don't include as much is this dimension of interacting with writing (stories). Stories can lead you down different paths based on decisions (choices) made at certain crucial points in the narrative. Digital interactive stories have been around for a long time, as different technologies to support this sort of writing and user interface have been used – from a web of wikis to simple code to complex productions (like alternate endings… Read more >>

I was sorry to hear about your late husband. Its got be tough losing a love one after so many years together. As for as my life, It's been one of a lot of life lessons. I always said that life is a simple plan, it's the people that mess it up.
I'm now with my third wife of 25 plus yrs, and I have been living in Houston since the late 60's. Up until 3yrs ago I had been in the steel industry for 35 yrs marketing in the various levels there. I have no kids that I know of, and not sure why it work out that way. I guess destiny had other plans for me. Before I moved to Houston I was road musician for about 8 yrs then woke up one mourning and decided I needed to change my life. I laid down my guitar, and to days later I moved to Houston.
I think it's neat that you think your a nerd. I've always been a little confused trying to figure out where I belong in society. I had people tell me that I didn't look like I was a person that would be in the steel industry, and at car shows people act shocked when they find out that I build the car you saw the picture of.
I guess I have never been comfortable being a tribe animal, and by the way I like the sci-fi and G rated movies. I guess that makes me a little bit of a nerd too.
You take care, and stay in touch.

I just thought I would share a little bit of what I have been doing with my life. This photo was a little garage project I did at home.. I guess some of us just never grow up. I am now retired after 35 years in the steel Industry. By the way tell Molock I still remember his fiddle playing at the motel, during our 20 yr reunion.

There may be few things more fundamental to human identity than the belief that people are rational individuals whose behavior is determined by conscious choices. But recently psychologists have compiled an impressive body of research that shows how deeply our decisions and behavior are influenced by unconscious thought, and how greatly those thoughts are swayed by stimuli beyond our immediate comprehension.

Keynote address by Her Majesty Queen Máxima of the Netherlands at the event `The Power of Partnerships – Making Finance Work for Women Entrerpreneurs', Royal Tropical Institute (KIT), Amsterdam
Queen Máxima is the UN Secretary-General's Special Advocate for Inclusive Finance for Development (UNSGSA).
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, I'm very pleased to join you today to discuss how we can speed up progress for women entrepreneurs.
As you can imagine, as the UN Sec-General's Special Advocate for Inclusive Finance, I've heard stories from and met many women around the world who are striving to make the most of their businesses. An orange grower in rural Colombia; an egg producer in Uganda; a garment-maker in Bangladesh—what they have in common is that they are ambitious but they face more obstacles than men, including access to finance.
Financial services are essential for all self-employment, to grow small businesses, for asset accumulation, and household wealth creation. But in the case of women, financial inclusion can have an even broader impact. It can be a powerful tool to achieve many of the Sustainable Development Goals. Increasing women's use of financial services leads to greater spending on health, education, nutritious food, and much more, and on themselves, which is incredible empowerment. And we all know that the impact of women's success ripples out into their own families, their own communities, and their societies.
You've heard today about the challenges women entrepreneurs can face. Around 80 percent of formal, women-owned MSMEs [micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises] do not have access to the financing they need. This represents a $1.7 trillion finance gap. However when women do have access to finance, they tend to take fewer calculated risks, which means that they borrow less than men and therefor under-invest. This in turn means that their businesses are on average less capital-intensive, make lower profit, and grow less. So we can saw that there are issues here with both supply and demand.
Today there are far fewer women than men with formal accounts. The gender gap has remained steady at around seven points since 2011, and nine percentage points in the developing world, and I'm hearing that new Global Findex results will not show a better picture. The gap in accounts is particularly meaningful for women entrepreneurs. Because they are more likely than men to be denied a loan, they tend to rely more on personal savings to open their own businesses. So therefore financial inclusion for women is extremely important.
To eliminate these gaps, we have to ask why women's financing lags behind.
First of all, financial service providers typically do not see the business case for serving women, especially in lower-income countries.
Second, providers do not see women as promising customers because they don't know them—literally! Also, of GSMA's 800 telecom network operators, only 23 percent know the gender composition of their clients. A Women's World Banking survey of 29 institutions showed that two-thirds of them had not given consideration to women as a distinct market segment.
So basically they don't know their customer base.
Women's access to finance is also affected by political and cultural forces. It's harder for women to open accounts or get loans because the lack official ID is more common than with men. It's also harder for them to get loans because they don't always have collateral since land and other assets may be in their husbands' names.
Finally, women have lower understanding of the financial and digital worlds. Fifty-one percent of women achieved only minimum scores on financial knowledge compared with 61 percent of men. And 1.6 times more women than men do not use the internet—simply because they don't know how.
So when it comes to transforming finance for women entrepreneurs, we're looking at a complex landscape, both on the supply and the demand side. But there are significant opportunities that could make a difference.
To start, we need to show banks and others that there IS a strong business case for serving hundreds of millions of women. Data from banks serving 22 million customers in 18 different countries show that women are strong savers, with lower loan-to-deposit ratios than men across regions. Women are prudent borrowers, with lower non-performing loans than men. And women are as loyal customers as men based on an analysis of their consumption of banking products.
In other words, women represents lower risk than men and they are sustainable clients.
So how can financial institutions approach the women's market successfully?
First, we need to start by collecting Financial institutions need to knowthe women's market in order to serve it well: How many female customers do you have? What is their usage like? Which products do they use most and when? What are their financial behaviors?
Second, we need women-centric approaches. Products and services, education and networking opportunities, marketing and branding--all need to be tailored for women. Services also need to be provided through channels that are convenient for women.
I'm not talking here about 'making it pink'! Women get, store, spend, invest, borrow, protect, and manage money differently than men. They prioritize services based on preferences including safety, privacy from friends and family and husbands, trust in providers, easy access, and low cost. For example, Nigeria's Diamond Bank has been successful by sending agents to women's businesses to help them set up mobile accounts. Simple, but it made a huge difference.
Third, we need innovative ways to improve women's credit-worthiness. Traditional collateral requirements deepen gender inequalities, but alternatives are increasingly available thanks to digital technology.
More and more institutions are using customers' digital foot prints to determine their credit-worthiness. Moveable collateral is also relevant. Recently in Nigeria I met a catfish seller names Flora Edojah whose business had stalled without access to credit. A local fintech company called Lidya conducted a quick digital analysis of her recent transactions and offered her a loan in just 24 hours. Now, her small business income has increased by 21 percent, she has hired five people, and she can now easily pay school fees for her three children. So there's a lot of potential there.
Fourth, we need to remove the barriers women face when they don't have the legal ID required for financial access. This is especially acute among low-income women.
Different levels of ID requirements can boost women's financial inclusion. This enables banks to open basic accounts with low deposit amounts for women who are unable to obtain formal proof of identification. In 2011, Mexico approved a four-tiered customer-identification regulatory regime for opening deposit accounts; 9.1 million basic accounts were opened in the following two years.
But women entrepreneurs need more than finance to thrive. Financial and business training along with mentoring are often more valuable for women. In Colombia, Pakistan, Indonesia, and many other countries, I've seen that women's groups can be exceptionally effective at providing peer learning.
I'd like to close with a few words on partnerships. Those of us here are already part of a global partnership committed to strengthening women's entrepreneurship. But perhaps it's time to expand our thinking of how partnerships can work—how we can combine our strengths in completely new ways.
We're thinking today about partnerships that can break the mold of traditional development thinking. That can build on complementary advantages and reach across divides that we rarely think to cross.
Some of the most innovative partnerships leverage private-sector solutions. This should not be confused with CSR. Instead, companies are recognizing that collaborating to support financial inclusion can lead to good business opportunities that are sustainable.
A few months ago I launched a group called the CEO Partnership for Financial Inclusion to further just this kind of thinking and action. Sitting in the room with them during our first meeting, I could see ideas spark between businesses that had never worked together before on this. So we need to think of financial services providers working with mobile network operators and distribution companies.
I'm confident your gathering today will generate sparks of its own. Innovation starts when we address problems and solutions in new ways. So sit down and brainstorm with someone from a sector you've never worked with. All of you have one thing in common: you have your commitment to improving finance for women entrepreneurs. It's your differences that could super-charge our progress. We need to listen to women and seek what their needs are.

Heaven's Scale
Her face was expressionless during my talk. I suspected she was in her 70's and she and her husband were much older than most of the couples in this group of Central Asian believers. I couldn't tell from her eyes whether she was connecting with what I was sharing through my Russian language interpreter. However, once I finished speaking, she made her way to me and for probably 15 minutes wept as she poured out the burdens of her heavy heart. The Russian speaking interpreter tried her best to decipher and put words to the weight of what this woman was carrying. Her face was no longer expressionless as her tears testified of her pain. Though her frame was light, her heart was heavy. I wondered how long she had been carrying this load.
I was reminded from this experience, that what we see in someone's outward countenance may not truly reflect the weight of what they are carrying in their heart. As you consider your life today, what is the weight of the burdens you are carrying in your heart?
Jesus has a penchant for heavy hearts. He looks for hearts that are heavy. Like a GPS tracker, he seeks out and zeroes in on the heavy hearted. What is heavy on your heart today? The Good News is that Jesus has the supernatural ability to unload the load of the overloaded heart. No matter what mess you find yourself in today, Jesus promises to unpack your burden. He offers that if you come to him, He will take whatever load you are carrying and lighten it. His plea is ... "Come to me, all you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls."[i]
Unfortunately, many of us get used to our hearts carrying heavy burdens. Worry weighs us down and we start believing this is a normal way to live. We get comfortable with living uncomfortably. We get used to our hearts being overweight. Like a glutton for punishment, we don't push back from the table of the tyranny of the urgent. We ingest second helpings of fear over work. We snack on worries about our kids. We take home "doggie-bags" of more duties to please others at church. The weight of worry causes fatigue in our faith. The result – our hearts become frayed and frazzled; our soul gasps for breath while we wonder what happened to God's wonderful plan for our lives. God's purpose and design for us was never to carry the weight we often subject our hearts to. Probably the number one reason believers experience shipwreck in their faith is a result of the weight of daily disappointments and disillusionments that accumulate in their heart over a period of years. Because of this, pastors leave pastorates they once felt called to. Ministry workers wear out and throw in the towel. Men and women who appeared to "have it all together" become entangled in addictions or affairs in search for some way to find life outside of their overloaded heart. As a result, the years of an overburdened heart leaves a shell of a once impassioned Christ follower who now just sits in the pew of a church with no fire in their faith, no love for the lost and no hope that heaven offers any real help to their current life. I've discovered that gaining weight is easy, losing weight gets harder with age (now I'm talking about pounds). My love for sweets and my diminishing metabolism have added inches to my waist and pounds on my scale Some months back, I started a program where I recorded everything I ate and drank. Wow, was that an eye opener. I realized how much in denial I was about my food intake. I got on the scale daily and over a period of a couple of months, I saw positive results. (Unfortunately, I saw those results evaporate after few out of town extended trips.). I've observed that success in battling weight loss is a day-to-day battle over an extended period of time. In a similar way, the battle for our overburdened hearts is a daily battle. God has and is fighting for your heart more than you can fathom. God has a scale in heaven in which he invites you to come daily and put on it the full weight of all that you are carrying. It's a "come as you are" scale. No conditions are attached. On this scale, you can put all the weight of your worries and all the pounds of your pain. On this scale, nothing is to be held back. He wants you to pile it "all" on there. On this scale, there is no need for denial. On this scale you are invited to unload the full weight of all your anger and hate. On this scale, dump all your bad attitudes and bring all your bitterness, rage, greed and lust. It won't surprise Him. God's scale, is the only scale that pounds can be shed in an instant God's scale is not a "shame on you" scale. It's a scale to help you unload and deal with the weight of your guilt and shame. Even if you add more weight on the scale today, even the weight of our reoccurring failures it won't be too much weight for God's scale. It will never be too much. All the weight of what you have done, are doing and will do tomorrow, will never outweigh what Jesus Christ did for you. We must come to Him daily, with the full weight of all we are carrying and allow Him to unburden our hearts. God is the "Weigher of Hearts.[ii] Allow Him to weigh your heart and "Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you."[iii] When you get on heaven's scale, He'll show you what you need. Heed His voice – He's calling you now "Cast all your weight on me." For once you get on heaven's scale, it's an amazing mystery How He can take all that bothers you and set your heart so free. Because Your Heart Matters…Is it time to weigh in?

Robben Ford
Robben Ford is one of the premier electric guitarists today, particularly known for his blues playing, as well as his ability to be comfortable in a variety of musical contexts. A five-time Grammy nominee, he has played with artists as diverse as Joni Mitchell, Jimmy Witherspoon, Miles Davis, George Harrison, Phil Lesh, Bonnie Raitt, Michael McDonald, Bob Dylan, John Mayall, Greg Allman, John Scofield, Susan Tedeschi, Keb Mo, Larry Carlton, Mavis Staples, Brad Paisley, and many others.
Born in 1951 in Woodlake, California, and raised in Ukiah, Robben was the third of four sons in a musical family. His father Charles was a country and western singer and guitarist before entering the army and marrying Kathryn, who played piano and had a lovely singing voice. Robben's first chosen instrument was the saxophone, which he began to play at age ten and continued to play into his early twenties. He began to teach himself guitar at age thirteen upon hearing the two guitarists from The Paul Butterfield Blues Band, Michael Bloomfield and Elvin Bishop. In the late 1960's, Ford frequented the Fillmore and Winterland auditoriums in San Francisco to see Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Cream, Led Zeppelin, Albert King, B.B. King and all of the progenitors of blues. "It was an incredible time for electric guitar," Robben recalls.
On his interest in jazz, Robben says," I fell in love with the sax-playing of Paul Desmond and The Dave Brubeck Quartet, and before long found Ornette Coleman, Archie Shepp, Yusef Lateef, Roland Kirk, John Coltrane, Wayne Shorter, and of course, Miles Davis." These influences have stayed with Robben, playing a large part in his particular blend of jazz and blues that define him as a guitarist and allow him to play in a wide variety of settings.
After high school, Robben and his brothers Patrick (drums) and Mark (harmonica), formed The Charles Ford Band, named after their father and recorded for the Arhoolie label. Robben (on sax and guitar) and Patrick went on to tour the U.S. with Chicago harmonica player Charlie Musselwhite.
Robben's first attempt at forming his own jazz quartet was picked up by legendary blues singer Jimmy Witherspoon, which brought Robben to L.A. He toured the U.S. and Europe with Witherspoon and was seen by Tom Scott and members of The L.A. Express, who were about to begin a promotional tour with Joni Mitchell for her recording, Court and Spark. Robben was invited to play guitar on the tour and played on two recordings with Mitchell and The L.A. Express. "The two years I spent with Joni were the most formative of my musical life. Joni was just brilliant and very accessible, and the members of The L.A. Express became good friends and teachers. It was great."
Beatle George Harrison invited Robben to join him on his Dark Horse tour of the U.S. and Canada, raising his musical profile even further. Shortly after the two month stint with Harrison, Robben moved to Colorado to take a much-needed break from music and to study with Buddhist teacher, Chogyam Trungpa. In 1977, he was approached by Elektra Records, which produced his first solo recording, The Inside Story, with a group of musicians who went on to become the Yellowjackets.
Elektra closed their doors in the early 1980's, leading to a time of uncertainty. Robben moved to San Francisco to be close to family and his early musical history. Soon his career would take another upward swing, recording and touring with Michael McDonald, securing a recording contract with Warner Brothers Records, and meeting his soon-to-be wife, actress Anne Kerry. Subsequently, they would collaborate on 3 albums on their own label, Illyria, most notably, Weill, recorded live with the West German Radio Big Band at the Cologne Philharmonic Hall.
After moving to New York, Robben was invited to play with musical icon Miles Davis. "Producer Tommy LiPuma played Miles my work with the Yellowjackets, then three days later Miles called me personally to join his band. Shocking!" recalls Robben. He lamented having to leave Miles after only six months because of recording commitments with Warner Brothers, but was told by Miles that if he ever wanted to come back, "just come back."

Lease means another century of football at The Walks in King's Lynn
PUBLISHED: 13:21 08 October 2018 | UPDATED: 13:21 08 October 2018
©Focus Images Limited www.focus-images.co.uk +447814 482222
The hallowed turf of The Walks will be the home of the Linnets for another 99 years.
After lengthy talks, a deal has been agreed between King's Lynn Town FC and West Norfolk council. It means the club's footballing future is secured and long-awaited improvements can be made to the ground.
Linnets chairman Stephen Cleeve said the club could now apply for grants it would not have been eligible for with 17 years of a 25-year lease remaining.
"At the moment we have a friendly council towards the football club but you never know what might change," he said.
"We had 17 years of our lease left and if they decided to build houses on it we'd be out.
"It gives us more security as a football club. It's not as secure as owning your own stadium but it's the next best thing. It gives us some certainty in a world of uncertainty."
Fans are delighted at the news. Lifelong supporter Jamie Heaphy said: "It's good news that the club and council have agreed on a 99-year lease which helps safeguard The Walks as our home stadium.
"With the lease now in place the chairman can now move along with any plans he has for redevelopment and stadium improvement as I understand the smaller lease could potentially cause some issues should we want to apply for grants. As a fan of almost 30 years I don't want to see us play anywhere but The Walks, the lease extension meaning this won't be happening anytime soon."
Fellow fan Sally Webb-Jones said: "Personally I think it's good for the club. More stability."
Linnet Mark Mortimer said: "Great news for the club and the town. The town needs a football club to be at the heart of the community."
Supporter Matty Hannay said: "Credit to Stephen Cleeve and the council for coming to an agreement and securing the club's future."
Avid fan Dave Swinton said: "I think it's a great thing for the club. The fan base is fantastic hundreds of fans turn up every home game to cheer on the lads even if they are not winning games they still turn up."
Alistair Beales, West Norfolk council's cabinet member for assets, said: "It's worked out well, the football club is a very important part of the town and a lot of people support it."
As part of the deal, the car park at the stadium will be tidied up and opened up for people visiting the park as well as the football ground.
Mr Beales said it was possible parking charges might be imposed on non-match days in the future.

Hot add refers to the ability to dynamically add hardware, virtual or physical, to a running system without downtime.
The evident benefit of a hot add is that system administrators can re-provision services without shutting down the systems. This may involve looking at some hardware or software requirements and the syntax for a particular administrative language.
In doing a hot add, system administrators need to determine whether the system has the resources to do this kind of provisioning on the fly. They may also have to check for things like server processor affinity for SQL, assess the schedulers and look at how a hot add will affect current operations.
The idea behind hot add is part of the overall scheme of virtualization — that hardware setups can be sliced and diced into more versatile virtual networks where one physical machine may represent five or six virtual machines, and where administrators can tinker with the allocation of processing power and memory to make operations more efficient.

Finding the right Bible depends on who
will be reading it and why
by Steve DuPlessie
"All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work."
– 2 Timothy 3:16 ESV
The Bible is the best-selling book of all time. But with 21 different English translations (and counting!) available in more than 1,000 different editions, which is the right Bible for you?
Did you know?
The bible is a collection of "books" written over a period of about 1,500 years by over 40 different authors in three different languages on one theme!
Imagine translating a letter that you received from a friend who wrote it to you in Spanish. If you translate that letter into English your translation might read a bit differently than it would if I translated it into English.
Types of Translations
In making your translation you would have to decide if you are going to translate every Spanish word into an equivalent English word. Or you might choose instead to translate the "idea" of the original, even if it was not a word-for-word equivalent.
The same happens in Bible translations: some are "formal equivalency" translations from Hebrew and Greek that are very accurate, but might be awkward or difficult to read. Others are more informal, "dynamic equivalency" translations that are easier to read, but not as "accurate."
And some are looser "paraphrases" which make no attempt to translate the actual words but seek only to convey the thought in an easy-to-read style.
Here's a look at the major translations and who reads them…
The "Authorized" or King James Version (KJV)
First published by order of King James of England in 1611 (the same era that William Shakespeare wrote), the KJV is still unmatched for its pure, poetic beauty. The King James is also the most familiarly "Biblical" to the ear: when Linus quotes the Christmas Story at the end of "A Charlie Brown Christmas," he quotes the King James.
But the same archaic language of Shakespeare that lends the King James its beauty and authority can make it a difficult read. Yet the KJV is still the Bible of choice for many Christians today.
New King James Version (NKJV) Published in 1982, the NKJV retains much of the KJV's beauty, while smoothing out some of its thornier diction.
The New International Version (NIV)1
Popular with evangelicals, the NIV (1978) is the bestselling English "dynamic equivalent" translation of the Bible today. Like most Bibles it is available in many choices of study and devotional versions.
New Living Translation (NLT)1
A very readable translation* available in multiple editions: study bibles, special editions or women, men, those in recovery, etc.
* My current favorite
New American Standard Bible (NASB)2
A more "literal" but still readable translation, may be a better bet for evangelical Bible students looking for a study Bible. Academics like it too for its faithfulness to the original Hebrew and Greek texts. Released 1971.
The English Standard Version (ESV)2
Another update of the RSV, this "formal equivalency" translation was published in 2001 and is growing in popularity with evangelicals who want a version that is a more literal translation than the NIV, but easier to read than the NASB.
FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions….
1. What's A Paraphrase?
The most reader-friendly versions of the Bible are generally the loosest translations: "The Living Bible," now updated as "The New Living Translation," is actually a paraphrase, seeking the contemporary meaning of each passage, not its literal translation. Christians of all stripes enjoy "The Message" by Eugene Peterson, a Bible-as-novel.
Did you know? Only 10 manuscripts remain of Julius Caesar's "The Gallic Wars" with the earliest one dating to 1,000 years after the original autograph. But there are over 5,600 copies and fragments of the NT in Greek, the earliest existing fragment dating a remarkably short 40-60 years after authorship!
2. Which edition should I choose?
Each translation, of course, is only the starting point for Bible publishers. Lately they've made buying a Bible for someone else easier by producing gift Bibles, study Bibles, award Bibles and devotional Bibles for every group or occasion. And you can get Bible as books, on CDs or download an MP3 for your iPod! You can get inexpensive bibles to hand out at www.biblica.com.
Study Bibles come with complete study notes about the books of the Bible, explanation of difficult concepts, and commentary on individual verses. Most study Bibles include an extensive "cross reference" system to help you find related verses or ideas, and concordances to help you find things by word or topic. Many include color maps, time lines, dictionaries, articles and other helpful study tools.
Popular Study Bibles include…
- The NIV Study Bible
- The Ryrie Study Bible (NASB & NIV)
- The ESV Study Bible
- The NLT Study Bible*
- The NIV Archaeological Study Bible
- The Life Application Study Bible (NIV & NLT)
- The John MacAthur Study Bible (NKJV, NASB, Esp)
- The Inductive Study Bible (NASB – Kay Arthur)
- The Quest Study Bible (NIV)
- The Hebrew-Greek Key Word Study Bible (KJV, NASB, NIV)
- * My current favorite
Devotional Bibles often include notes that address specific questions about Christian life. Some feature study guides for use in personal or group Bible studies.
"The Women's Devotional Bible "(Zondervan) and "The Women of Color Study Bible" (Nia Publishing) both add reflections and annotations that highlight women's issues, as "The Men's Devotional Bible" does for men. You can get special editions for those in recovery, in the military, for firemen, students, singles, seniors…
For Latinas, Broadman & Holman offers a Quinceanera Bible. The MacArthur Study Bible (Thomas Nelson)is available in Spanish.
3. What about teens & children?
The youth market for Bibles has grown tremendously, especially since the shootings at Columbine. The Student Bible (NIV – Zondervan) includes helpful answers to questions frequently asked by students.
Most of the teen niche, like Zondervan's "The Extreme Teen Bible" present the Bible by way of MTV, with commentary by teens on drugs and peer pressure, sexuality and sibling rivalry, all wrapped in contemporary cover designs.
"The Picture Bible" (D C Cook) gives realistic, annotated illustrations that will capture a child's imagination and help instill a love for reading the bible. For younger children, there is "The New Explorers Study Bible for Kids" (Thomas Nelson) and "The Beginners Bible" series from Word Publishing.
Did you know?
There are translations of the bible, or portions of the bible, in more than 2,400 languages today!
4. Where do I buy a Bible?
Once you have determined which translation and edition are best for your needs you can shop online at christianbook.com or amazon.com for a wide selection of options (color, size, etc.) and low prices.
You can also do a "hands-on" review of a wide selection of Bible translations and study editions at almost any Christian bookstore. Secular booksellers such as Barnes & Noble, Borders and even WalMart also have pretty good Bible sections.

Leeds Carnegie (formerly Leeds Tykes) are an English rugby union club, based in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England, currently playing in the RFU Championship. In recent years, they have bounced between the Premiership and the second-level National Division One, now known as the RFU Championship; they were either promoted or relegated in four consecutive seasons starting in 2006. Leeds were relegated from the Premiership as bottom finishers in 2006, promoted as National Division One champions in 2007, relegated again from the Premiership in 2008, and promoted a second time as National Division One champions in 2009. They managed to stay in the Premiership in the 2009–10 season, which helped to secure their financial future; starting with the 2010–11 season, they will become a full shareholder in Premier Rugby, the company behind the Premiership. In 2009–10, they only received 60% of a full share of Premiership revenues.[2]
From 1998 through to the end of the 2006–07 season, the club used the name Leeds Tykes, but on 14 May 2007 it was announced that Leeds Metropolitan University would buy a 51% stake in the club and change the name to fit with the university's sport department, Carnegie College.[3][4] At the end of the 2008–09 season, ownership of the club passed back into the hands of Leeds Rugby.

Headingley & Roundhay
Headingley has a tradition of rugby which started back in 1877, after several youngsters became interested in rugby after watching Leeds St. John's, later to become the Leeds Rhinos rugby league team. Their first game was in November against the Saints second team. Union was centred around a church club. The original rugby union team was Leeds St John's and it played at the Militia Barracks ground before moving to Cardigan Fields. The Headingley name was adopted in 1878 and Cardigan Fields was used for both rugby and cricket. On 5 January 1884, England played Wales there and won 5–3 with a crowd in the region of 2,000 in attendance. The club playing there was then disbanded but was re-formed again in 1885 under the auspices of the Headingley Hill Chapel Sunday Class and played matches on local fields against local teams, including Roundhay.
In 1888 the Cardigan Estate was sold at auction and Lot 17a was purchased by a group of Leeds citizens, who intended to form the city's leading sports club. Lot 17a became what is now Headingley Stadium. Leeds St John's played their final season under that name in 1889–90, before becoming the football section of Leeds Cricket, Football and Athletic Company Ltd the following season. With Headingley still being completed, Leeds' first game was staged at Cardigan Fields, the home side defeating Otley. The first game at Headingley was played on 20 September 1890, when Manningham were beaten by one try and one dropped goal to nil. Leeds were founder members of the Northern Union when it broke away from the Rugby Football Union in 1895. Leeds' début in the Northern Union was a 6–3 victory at Leigh on 7 September 1895, the inaugural day of the new competition.
The development of the playing fields into the Headingley ground was down to the visionary Lord Hawke, who was behind the creation of the Leeds Cricket, Football and Athletic Company and the purchase of lot 17A of the Cardigan Estate. (Lord Hawke captained England and Yorkshire at cricket). However, this saw the demise of the Leeds club which split into two. The part that was to become the Rugby League club in 1895-6 stayed at the Headingley ground and Headingley RUFC was reborn in 1891, eventually finishing up in 1902 in Clarence Fields, Kirkstall. Two other internationals were played in Leeds before the split between Union and League, against Ireland and Scotland, both ending in defeat.
In 1889, Headingley was disbanded when Leeds St. John's moved into the area, built Headingley Stadium and dropped the St. John's from their name. However, Headingley bounced back and found fixtures outside Yorkshire, in 1901 their fixture list including a game against the famous Blackheath Rugby Club. Roundhay were formed in 1924 and moved to their ground at Chandos Park in the 1930s. Forty internationals have played for one team or the other perhaps the best known being Peter Winterbottom, Ian McGeechan and Chris Rea, who played for Headingley. Former Scotland coach Frank Hadden also had a spell at Headingley, where his and McGeechan's playing paths crossed, at the tail end of his career. Brian Moore played for Roundhay before his move down to Nottingham and his selection for England.
Leeds RUFC
Leeds RUFC was founded in 1991 after the merger of Roundhay and Headingley; Morley RFC were invited to be part of the Leeds set-up but declined the invitation. The new club played their first match on 1 September 1992 against Hull Ionians. The first try of the newly founded Leeds RUFC was scored by Glynn Thompson, previously of Roundhay. Richard Cardus, Bev Dovey, Denis Wilkins and Keith Smith all won international caps while in the Roundhay ranks. Smith featured in England's first full tour of Australia in 1975, but had to return home injured and Wilkins, who was also in the Royal Navy, won 13 caps, between 1951–53. When the amalgamation came in 1991–92 both clubs were in National Division Three. The proposed league re-organisation made it logical that the two clubs should become Leeds RUFC, especially as professionalism was in the air as a result of what was going on in the Southern Hemisphere. So it turned out to be a far-sighted move. However, it was an unpopular one with the Headingley faithful, the club with the longer history which had struggled through the Northern clubs breakaway from the Rugby Union in 1893. But later events proved it justified.
In the first season in National Three, Leeds finished 6th, but League reorganisation put the club in National Division Four, with finishes of 6th, 6th and 5th in 1995–96. The extent of the club's ambition became evident in the following season in finishing 3rd, scoring 1,209 points in thirty games, with the former England 'A' outside-half Gerry Ainscough scoring 307 points, and the ex-Scotland 'A' utility back Mark Appleson scoring sixteen tries. In 1997–98, promotion was made from the newly formed Jewson One to Premiership Two, finishing runners-up to Worcester. The Tongan Sateki Tuipulotu scored a then club record 322 points.
Leeds Tykes
In July 1998, the club would again amalgamate this time with Leeds Rhinos to form Leeds Rugby Limited. Leeds RUFC would also take on a new name and when they entered the 1998 Allied Dunbar Premiership Two competition, that of the Leeds Tykes.
The Tykes finished 6th in their first season in Premiership Two with the Tongan scoring 250 points and Simon Middleton and Jonathan Scales scoring ten tries apiece. Since 1996 the Tykes have played at Leeds Rhinos' Headingley stadium and Phil Davies became their player-coach. In their first season, they finished 8th in the old twelve team fourth division. They were renamed Leeds Tykes in 1998 when Leeds Rugby Ltd was formed, merging the Rhinos and Tykes under one umbrella. Since then they have climbed through the divisions and were promoted to the Premiership in 2001. In gaining promotion Richard Le Bas scored 337 points and Graham Mackay, a product of Leeds Rhinos, scored 19 tries, both club season records still extant.
Again in 2001, Tom Palmer became the first ever Leeds Tykes player to be capped for England when he appeared as a replacement against the United States. The members of the Leeds Tykes team for their first ever game in the Premiership on 2 September 2001 against Bath were Shelley, Holt, Wring, C. Murphy, Palmer, Mather, Ponton, Fea'unati, Benton, Bachop, Emmerson, Woof, Mayer, Scarbrough, Benson. The replacements were Hogg for Mather (74), Davies for Fea'unati (75), Kerr for Fea'unati (26), O'Reilly for Mayer (73), Fea'unati for Kerr (33). Not used were Luffman, Clarke, Le Bas.
The Tykes survived their first season after finishing bottom of the league when the National League One champions were denied entry into the Premiership in 2002 (Champions Rotherham Titans were refused promotion to the Zurich Premiership for the 2002–03 season due to facilities failing to meet Premiership criteria). The next season Leeds finished fifth in the table and made their Heineken Cup début in December 2003. In their four seasons in the Zurich Premiership, they finished an average ninth and had reached a couple of domestic cup semi-finals.
In 2005, they were mid-table by early November, but at the turn of the year, following injuries to key players, they were bottom of the Zurich Premiership and some way adrift of their rivals. Despite the threat of relegation, they somehow made it to their first ever Powergen Cup final. They faced Bath who were top of the table and had never been beaten in a cup final. Leeds were attempting to end Bath's perfect record in domestic cup finals. The West country giants won all 10 of the showpieces they contested between 1984 and 1996. They started favourites for an 11th triumph as they returned to Twickenham for their first final for nine years. But Leeds recorded a shock 20–12 win to claim their first ever trophy.
All the Leeds points were scored in the first period. The first try was scored by the Tykes' Chris Bell after Gordon Ross had chipped ahead. Andre Snyman then intercepted and went 60 m for a score. Ross converted both tries and also added two penalties to make it 20–9 after 40 minutes. Bath could only reply with four penalties from Chris Malone. So it was Leeds Tykes that won the 34th Powergen Cup to make club history. It was one of Ross's most memorable performances for the Tykes, when he not only helped the side to their first silverware but also collected the honour of being named Man of the Match. The Tykes team on Saturday, 16 April 2005, was; Balshaw (capt); Snyman, Christophers, Bell, Biggs; Ross, Dickens; Shelley, Regan, Kerr; Hooper, Palmer; Morgan, Parks, Popham. Replacements: Holt, Rawlinson, Dunbar, Hyde, McMillan, McMullen, Albanese.
Following the cup win, they went on to win five straight games and avoided the drop by finishing eighth. Phil Davies relinquished control of some coaching duties to concentrate on his role as Director of Rugby in 2005 following another poor start to the season, which saw the Tykes lose their first eight games in three different competitions. In fact, it proved to be a calamitous campaign and a sequence of defeats from which they never recovered. They had to play catch-up all season and with injuries, representative demands and the time it took for several new high-profile players such as Justin Marshall and Gordon Bulloch to bed down, were all major factors in Leeds' plight.
Losing three successive away matches in injury time to Northampton Saints, Sale Sharks and Leicester Tigers did not assist their cause. This led to, on 12 January 2006, former Rugby League international Daryl Powell being promoted from the back room staff to First Team coach. Formerly the head coach of rugby league club Leeds Rhinos, he was promoted from his previous title as the Tykes' offensive coach.
Leeds were finally relegated after Newcastle Falcons beat Sale Sharks. Ironically, relegation came exactly a year to the day that they claimed the Powergen Cup. However, they received a £1.5m 'parachute payment' whilst in National Division One. Following relegation Marshall was transfer listed by request and Leeds legend Mike Shelley announced his retirement. Other players who left were: Iain Balshaw, Chris Bell, Gordon Bulloch, Danny Care, Andy Craig, David Doherty, Dan Hyde, Mark McMillan, Tom Palmer, Richard Parks, Roland Reid, Gordon Ross, David Rees, Roland De Marigny, Scott Morgan, Chris Murphy and Nathan Thomas. Players who remained at club were: Tom Biggs, Lee Blackett, Michael Cusack, Jon Dunbar, Stuart Hooper, James Isaacson, Chris Jones, Rob Rawlinson and Rob Vickerman. At the end of April 2006, Phil Davies resigned as Director Of Rugby to be replaced by academy coach Stuart Lancaster.
The new players signed for the new season under Lancaster were Leigh Hinton from Newport Gwent Dragons, Leinster centre Jonny Hepworth, wing/full-back Richard Welding from Cornish Pirates, scrum-half Jacob Rauluni ex-Earth Titans and Bristol, scrum-half Darren Edwards from London Irish, winger John Holtby from Earth Titans, and centre Anitelia Tuilagi, on loan from Leicester Tigers. New forwards include flanker Mark Lock from London Wasps, Argentinian 7s and ex-Plymouth Albion flanker Martín Schusterman, Former Bristol Rugby No 8 Rhys Oakley from Newport Gwent Dragons, hooker James Parkes from Gloucester and props USA international Mike MacDonald, ex-Worcester who helped the Eagles to qualify for the World Cup, and Colin Noon from Biarritz.
Leeds Tykes are already planning ahead for next season and have confirmed that they have signed Earth Titans captain Joe Bedford and fly half Alberto Di Bernardo and Tongan hooker Viliami Ma'asl from Cornish Pirates. Bedford is an ex-Academy player with the Tykes and has also been with Sale Sharks and Saracens. Argentine Di Bernardo appeared for Italy 'A' before moving to England to play with the Pirates. The Tykes were confirmed as National Division One Champions on 7 April after their win at Otley combined with Rotherham's defeat to Doncaster on the same day. With only two games to play, they could not be caught by the South Yorkshire side, having three more wins than them this season.
Leeds Carnegie RUFC
Since 1 July 2007 the Leeds Tykes have been known as Leeds Carnegie after having signed what they described as a "ground-breaking" deal with Leeds Metropolitan University, which took a majority 51% stake in the club. Carnegie College is part of the university's sport department. Leeds director of rugby Stuart Lancaster said: "I am delighted by the announcement. This is another hugely significant step in our evolution."
In 2008 Lancaster left Leeds to take a job at the RFU, replaced by England World Cup winner Neil Back and Andy Key, both of whom were previously on the coaching staff at Leicester Tigers.
In May 2009, Leeds Carnegie announced that it had restructured for the Premiership.[5] Leeds Met University returned its 51% stake in Leeds Carnegie and Leeds Rugby retook full control.[6] The club will continue to be known as Leeds Carnegie RUFC.
The restructuring also saw former Wales and British and Irish Lions international Gareth Davies join a new board of directors representing the university. Paul Caddick will be the Chairman.
Key and Back are keen to bring at least eight new players to the club but Chief executive Gary Hetherington has denied this move will limit their transfer funds.
Home ground
Leeds St. Johns, who were later to become Leeds Rugby League Football Club, then Leeds Rhinos, moved to Headingley in 1889 and built Headingley stadium. Since then the stadium has staged more than 40 international matches and countless domestic finals. Undersoil heating was installed in 1963, and floodlights in 1966. New changing rooms were added in 1991.
Fans got two matches for the price of one on Saturday 13 August 2005 when Headingley hosted back-to-back union and league games. The Tykes played Edinburgh in a friendly followed by a Super League game between the Rhinos and London. 2006 saw the construction of the Carnegie Stand. Built to replace the old eastern terrace, it was opened on 1 September 2006 for the Super League match between Leeds Rhinos and Warrington Wolves. The ground now has a capacity of 22,250.
The record attendance at Headingley was 40,175 for the rugby league match between Leeds and Bradford Northern on 21 May 1947. The highest attendance for a Tykes match was against Newcastle Falcons on 27 December 2004, with a crowd of 14,293 at Headingley to see the Falcons take home a 15–11 victory. In July 1998 Leeds RUFC became part of the world's first dual-code rugby partnership, Leeds Rugby Limited. In 2006 a new sponsorship deal with Leeds Metropolitan University led to Headingley Stadium been renamed Headingley Carnegie Stadium.
