BATON ROUGE – As the class of 2018 descended upon the LSU campus to make their dorm rooms their new homes on Wednesday, over 200 student-athletes from 11 LSU athletic programs put down their helmets, rackets and balls to help haul an endless stream of mini refrigerators, microwaves and stationary fans.
This was the second consecutive year that LSU student-athletes and coaches offered assistance to freshmen on move-in day, and the budding tradition has already produced many memorable moments.
"We sincerely appreciate the student population," said football head coach Les Miles. "We play for the state of Louisiana and the student section. A great majority of the team did it last year, and they brought back some nice stories and memories."
"Parents are dreading this day because they're saying goodbye to their son or daughter, but what happens when these students and their families get to campus is they have the entire university family here to help them move in," said LSU President and Chancellor F. King Alexander. "It turns out to be a very enjoyable experience. The parents will go back to their various parishes, their counties and their cities all over the United States. Everyone will ask them how was move-in day, and they'll say you won't believe the way LSU treated their son or daughter."
From Herget Hall to the Pentagon, LSU student-athletes mingled with the newly-arrived freshmen and offered extra muscle to ease with the moving process.
Some student-athletes did not hesitate to make themselves right at home and got a chance to have some fun with the newest LSU students.
"We walked in on some guys playing FIFA," said senior tennis player Chris Simpson. "We just stood and watched them play for about five minutes. That was fun."
While brawn and strength came in handy for moving, the student-athletes and coaches hope their presence also served as an introduction to what it means to be a member of the Tiger family.
The event helps freshmen realize that meeting new people is fun and the majority of students on campus are friendly and willing to help.
"Our track and field program is excited about being able to help everyone with the move-in process," said track and field head coach Dennis Shaver. "We enjoy welcoming these freshmen to our campus as new members of our LSU family."
Move-in day served as a great opportunity for student-athletes to share their appreciation for the support given to the athletic programs throughout the year.
"It's fun to give back to our loyal student fan base that supports us on and off the field," said senior running back Terrence Magee. "Helping them out is something that they'll remember for the rest of their lives."

Cell phones, speakers stolen in separate incidentsStaff Report
April 22. 2014 11:22PM
MANCHESTER - Two women had their cellphones stolen Monday by a teen who asked each if he could use the phone to make a call and then ran off with it.The first incident happened about 2:30 p.m.
Monday at 140 Central St. Police said a woman was standing outside the apartment building when a teen she didn't know asked to use her phone. She handed it to him, and he ran off with it. The only description the woman could give of the teen is that he was black.
About 7 p.m., another woman standing in front of 35 Hanover St. was approached by a teen who asked if he could borrow her cellphone.He, too, fled with the phone once she handed it to him. He is described as a 15-year-old black teen with a shaved head, about 6 feet tall with a thin build. He was wearing a black vest over a red hooded sweatshirt, black pants and black shoes.
Police don't know if the same teen was involved in both thefts.
Speakers stolen
Two outdoor speakers, worth about $2,000, were removed sometime over the winter from two poles inside Precourt Park, adjacent to the Manchester South Little League.
A Little League official reported the theft on Monday when it was discovered at the park, which is off South Willow Street, behind Wendy's.
Anyone with information about the theft is asked to call police at 668-8711. Anonymous tips for cash rewards may be made through Manchester Crimeline at 624-4040 or online at manchestercrimeline.org.

Lara Pulver has the look of a Bond girl. The mystery, intelligence and cool glamour are all there, but she is hardly a girl. In the new BBC America miniseries "Fleming: The Man Who Would Be Bond," the British actress plays the woman who in some ways was the archetype for all of 007's females, Ann Fleming.
In 1939, when the story begins, Ian Fleming was an unsuccessful banker and stockbroker but still connected. He was from an upper-class family, with his most notable trait being a womanizer.
She was Ann O'Neill, married to Shane O'Neill, a childhood friend and a baron. They had two children, but it wasn't much of a marriage. She was a restless spirit, hosted parties for the likes of Winston Churchill and was having an affair with Esmond Harmsworth, a viscount and owner of a powerful newspaper.
Despite all this, Ann and Ian began their own — torrid would be too tame a word — affair, though it would be some 13 years before they would marry.
Pulver says when she first read the script for the four-part miniseries, she remembers scrawling in pen: "Why?"
" 'Why is a woman like her getting involved with this man who treats women so disrespectfully?' " asked the actress.
Pulver says that after "Fleming's" director, Mat Whitecross, sent her some of Ann's diaries she began to piece together the character. Ann lost her mother at an early age and had been shown little affection growing up. Fleming had his own rocky relationships with his mother after his father died when he was young. Their relationship began to catch fire when World War II began.
Early on, Fleming (Dominic Cooper) is recruited into Naval Intelligence, where his imagination is put to good use, dreaming up spy missions, including creating a group of elite commandos to gather intelligence and overseeing various operations, including one called Golden Eye that sabotaged Nazi operations in Spain.
What Whitecross found fascinating about the project was that it didn't attempt to be a straight biopic of the famed author.
"This was much more Fleming's life through his character," says the director, noting that Bond is "a very dark, kind of depressive, quite twisted character in 'Casino Royale,' " the first novel in the series about the superspy.
"As to the factual elements of the miniseries, that depends on who's writing what you're reading about Ian Fleming," Pulver says, "because you can read 40 different books about Fleming and they'll come up with different stories. It's a testament to him as a storyteller. He loved to embellish."
The opening moments of "Fleming" find Ann and Ian swimming in the ocean near Goldeneye, the house the author had built in Jamaica and named after the WWII operation. (The 1995 film "GoldenEye" was not from a Fleming book, by the way.) Everything about the scene smacks of a Bond film: Pulver in a red eye-catching two-piece suit, Cooper a speargun in hand trailing her through the water and music that echoes the movie scores.
The couple did go spearfishing for their dinner when at Goldeneye, and it was there on their honeymoon that Fleming wrote "Casino Royale."
"He's a sadistic brute," says Ann about Bond, after reading a bit of it.
"I thought that was your type," Ian responds.
Indeed, their relationship, according to writings including Ann's diaries, seem to thrive because of the literal bruisings they gave each other.
Pulver, who will be seen this summer in Doug Liman's "Edge of Tomorrow," a big-budget sci-fi film starring Tom Cruise, says the first time she met Cooper was at a table read, which she found unusual since "chemistry" tests between leads is fairly common these days.
"There was an instant respect and unspoken trust of each having each other's backs, which is so vital when you're depicting two very volatile people," says Pulver about their meeting. "We felt free to become as vulnerable and as volatile as we had to."
In one scene, Pulver got so much into character that she hurled a glass at Cooper even though it wasn't in the script.
"Luckily, Dom was agile and ducked. Afterwards, I burst into tears and kept saying I was sorry," she says, adding that everybody was kind about it.
"They had a kind of S&M relationship," says Whitecross about the Flemings, "which was fascinating, because it's — even now — quite shocking."
In one scene Ian beats Ann with a belt as a prelude to sex.
On a lighter note, Pulver learned to swim underwater for the snorkeling scene, which was filmed in Majorca, Spain. Although she had been able to practice on the surface, the scene called for her to be 6 or 7 feet down, and she's always had a fear of going underwater.
A stunt double would have been used if necessary, but the actress was determined to do it herself. So the night before, she called her partner, actor Raza Jaffrey ("Smash"), for advice. He had her fill the sink with water and practice putting her face in. The next morning when she got to the location, Pulver says the water looked "so amazing" that she had to try. So she swam on the surface and the stunt person pulled her down about 6 feet and gave her a push.
"I swam as far as I could. I couldn't believe I could actually do it," she says with a smile.
Perhaps, a little surprisingly, Pulver has lived in Los Angeles for five years now. She came out for the Mark Taper Forum production of the musical "Parade" after its London run at Donmar Warehouse. While here, she was cast in HBO's "True Blood."
"It's one of the few true Los Angeles shows; so I got 18 months of living in L.A.," she says.
She stayed ever since, although she has been racking up the miles traveling back to the United Kingdom for TV shows and movies such as "MI-5," "Sherlock," "Fleming" and Starz's "Da Vinci's Demons," shot in Wales. Even "Edge of Tomorrow" was filmed in England.
Tonight she will be seen briefly in the second episode of "Sherlock" on PBS. On the show she plays Irene Adler, a dominatrix and the object of the famed private eye's desire. (Since she is a character of high interest, she could be back in future seasons.) In "Da Vinci's Demons," which returns for a second season on March 22, Pulver plays Clarice Orsini, the powerful wife of Lorenzo de' Medici.
If the Starz series puts the actress into the 15th century, "Fleming" put her into the World War II years. Pulver says Caroline Harris, the costume designer for the miniseries, became engrossed with the 1940s period.
"I had 30 hours of costume fittings, which is kind of unheard of," says the actress. "I remember when Caroline was trying all these different clothes on me thinking, 'Oh that color isn't right for me,' or 'That isn't a particularly good look for me.' "
But Pulver says those fittings helped her become Ann.
"Caroline really wanted the costumes to be memorable, like that canary yellow dress at the end of the first episode," she says. "She wanted them to capture the spirit of the character. It was really influential, actually."
If the character of Bond has always been something of an enigma, it's because his creator was, and without Ann many think 007 would have never existed.
The couple kept up their affair — often quite openly — through Ann's first marriage (her husband was killed in the war in 1944) and her second marriage to Harmsworth, who finally couldn't take it anymore and divorced her.
Ian and Ann finally married in 1952, though life at Goldeneye proved hardly idyllic.
"I think when they finally become husband and wife the fireworks were over," Pulver notes, "and what we don't see in this miniseries is when the affairs in their marriage started."

Bethany T. Heywood, a graduate student at Queens University Belfast, asked 27 people with Asperger's Syndrome, a mild type of autism that involves impaired social cognition, about significant events in their lives. Working with experimental psychologist Jesse M. Bering (author of the "Bering in Mind" blog and a frequent contributor to Scientific American MIND), she asked them to speculate about why these important events happened—for instance, why they had gone through an illness or why they met a significant other. As compared with 34 neurotypical people, those with Asperger's syndrome were significantly less likely to invoke a teleological response—for example, saying the event was meant to unfold in a particular way or explaining that God had a hand in it. They were more likely to invoke a natural cause (such as blaming an illness on a virus they thought they were exposed to) or to give a descriptive response, explaining the event again in a different way.
So I see a gradient:No teliological thinking -- Antiteliological thinking -- Teliological thinking -- Extreme teliological thinkingHumans with Asperger's Atheist Humans Religious humans Schizophrenics ? rational and practical somewhat irrational totally irrational
pamindfw, maybe in your gradient, atheists (non-religious) might be better described as "more rational and practical", as it was pointed out that their answers hinted that they still had the social-groupthink still wedged in their heads. Perhaps the mild Asberger is the "rational" of the lot. I don't know how they rate on a practicality scale. A more interesting experiment is to see how Asberger's deal with social memes in general.
Religions need books because they don't have gods.
Aren't people with autism supposed to be geniuses?This proves which position is the one for smart people
Excerpted from "Creativity: Flow and the Psychology of Discovery and Invention" by Mihalyi Csikszentmihalyi 1. Creative individuals have a great deal of physical energy, but they are also often quiet. 2. Creative individuals tend to be smart, yet also naïve at the same time. 3. A third paradoxical trait refers to the related combination of playfulness and discipline. 4. Creative individuals alternate between imagination and fantasy at one end, and a rooted sense of reality at the other. 5. Creative people seem to harbor opposite tendencies on the continuum between extroversion and introversion, seem to express both traits at the same time. 6. Creative individuals are also remarkably humble and proud at the same time. 7. Creative individuals to a certain extent escape rigid gender stereotyping. 8. Generally, creative people are thought to be rebellious and independent as well as cultured/traditionalist. 9. Most creative people are very passionate about their work, yet they can be extremely objective about it as well. 10. The openness and sensitivity of creative individuals often exposes them to suffering and pain yet also a great deal of enjoyment.

Your first year is all about exploration and the best person to help you make the most of your first year is your academic advisor.
Get to know campus resources, learn about different opportunities, and think about what you want to accomplish while you are in college.
Are you being challenged?
There are infinite combinations of majors, minors and courses at Suffolk. Talk to an advisor about what you have learned so far, what you like, what you might want to try. Advisors can help you explore courses, majors and minors you didn't know existed. You may also have to option to enroll in honors courses if you need more of a challenge.
Are you reading the syllabi?
You need to read each syllabus from front to back for every class you take. Ask questions for clarification within the first week if something on the syllabus is not clear. Otherwise, you may miss key requirements or expectations and make poor choices that affect your grade.
Are you participating in class?
Participation is a key to being successful. Learning to be a contributor in different types of courses as well as working with different students and faculty takes time, but is essential to you growing as a student and having a full understanding of the academic material you are studying.
Faculty Office Hours
Your faculty set aside time each week to be available for questions or discussion. Take advantage of your professor's office hours. Generally, their office hours will be listed on the syllabi for the course. Attending office hours is a great way to not only get individual extra help but to also get to know your professor's outside of the classroom.
Faculty will be a fantastic resource for you throughout your time in college for academic and career advice. If you ever need a recommendation letter for a job or for graduate school, you will need a faculty member to ask.
Tutoring & Academic Support
The Center for Learning & Academic Success (CLAS) offers free group and individual tutoring for students in all subjects. Take advantage of this great resource.
Most students change their minds as they get involved, meet new people, and take classes. Even if you think you know your major, spend time making sure. Maybe there is a minor or special elective courses that would compliment your major. Review our steps for choosing your major.
You are expected to learn your curriculum and degree requirements during your first year. Make a tentative four year plan of your required courses by using educational planning tools, such as your Program Evaluation, a multi-year planning grid, and the Undergraduate Academic Catalog.
Advisors are here to help you plan out your course requirements. We also want to know more about your other goals for college, including internships, studying abroad, joining student organizations, or applying for leadership goals. We will help you incorporate your goals into your plan.
By sophomore year, you have a full year of college coursework and experiences behind you. If you haven't spoken to your academic advisor yet, it's a great way to start the year.
Now refine your interests and compose a clearer picture of your academic and professional goals. Not only should you have a resume drafted, but you should have content to put on it because you got involved on campus.
Attend a Study Abroad information session. Tell your advisor where and when you want to travel. We can help you figure out the most appropriate time for you to study abroad to accommodate your major requirements while also helping you plot out other goals such as internships and your graduation.
Your faculty expect you to learn in and outside of the classroom. Faculty who see you participate in class, and who work with you one-on-one will be a resource to you in the future as a mentor or as a recommendation for a job or graduate school. Continue to make connections with faculty in your major.
Yes, we said it again, get involved.
Many of your faculty volunteer to help create these choices so talk to faculty and advisors to learn more about campus events and guest speakers. Many of these events are free for Suffolk students. Read your email. You have probably already been invited.
Declaring your major during sophomore year allows you to finalize your four year plan and incorporate all the items on your personal checklist before you graduate. Seek opportunities for internships and interesting electives within your major department.
This four year plan is designed to streamline your access to a job after graduation. Begin early.
By junior year, you should be more involved with your major courses and really getting to know your faculty within your major department. You may have just returned from studying abroad. You may have just signed a lease on your first apartment. By now, you should have a good working relationship with your academic advisor, but if not, there's still time.
No matter what your major, internships are crucial for getting experience in your field of study and landing that important first job. Some majors require you to complete an internship as part of your graduation requirements. Even if an internship is not required for your major, you should plan to complete multiple internships during their time at Suffolk.
This will give you varied experience and will also make your resume much more attractive to your future employers. Update your resume and bring it to the Career Development Center for assistance with editing.
If you think you want to continue your education after you graduate from Suffolk, now is the time to start seriously planning.
Visit our pre-professional advising for information about entrance exams (LSAT, GRE, GMAT, MCAT) and application processes. You can also attend a personal statement workshop at the Center for Learning & Academic Success (CLAS).
Your faculty advisor is a key resource for you. Faculty advisors will give you valuable advice about career opportunities within your major, concentrations within your major, or graduate study. Your faculty advisor should not simply be the person you visit to have your course schedule approved twice a year. You should make time to meet with your faculty advisor regularly and ask questions. Find out more about their professional path and their experiences.
Junior year can be a difficult year academically, as you are now beginning to take more upper level classes and often balancing part-time jobs, internships, or other extracurricular activities. It is important to maintain a good GPA, both in your major and overall. Employers will want to see academic achievements as well as professional ones.
Meet with an advisor in the Undergraduate Academic Advising Center to map out your remaining courses to ensure that you are on track for your intended graduation date. This way, there will be no surprises when it comes time to apply for graduation next year.
We told you that four years would fly by! Reflect on your experiences, achievements, and accomplishments over the past years. Don't let the excitement of your anticipated graduation derail all that you've accomplished. As your undergraduate career winds down, you can start planning for graduation with your academic advisor.
Update your resume and begin interviewing. Begin to finalize your post-graduate plans. By senior year, you should have experiences to write about and stories to tell, but do not get lazy and stop adding new experiences. It is important to show future employers or future graduate admissions offices that you maintained a good GPA while continuing to be involved throughout your four years. Meet with a career advisor to perfect your resume and cover letter.
The Center for Career Development offers career fair opportunities, so you can meet and speak with potential employers. Make sure that you also check out their website for important sessions and information about Career Fest in the fall.
During first semester of senior year, schedule an appointment for a graduation plan with an advisor in the Undergraduate Academic Advising Center. Advisors will help you review your remaining classes and credits. It is your responsibility to understand all of your degree requirements, so do not wait until the last minute.
All students must formally apply to graduate through the Office of the Registrar. If you are planning to graduate after Spring semester, you must apply to graduate by February 1st.
If you are planning to graduate after Fall semester, you must apply to graduate by October 1st.
Apply through your MySuffolk account:
Have you accepted a job offer? Are you still interviewing? Are you waiting on a graduate or law school acceptance letter? No matter what your plans are for the future, remember that Suffolk will remain a support system for you, even after you graduate. That is why it is important to maintain those connections you have made with faculty, get in touch with our alumni office, and continue to stay connected.

Irish dancing and rock music are the key components in a new musical revue onstage this weekend at the Ferguson Center.
"Rockin' Road to Dublin" is the creation of drummer Chris Smith and Irish dancer Scott Doherty, young artists who met while performing at Busch Gardens Williamsburg. The show features traditional Irish dancing done to familiar Irish tunes that have been given new rock music arrangements.
"It's Irish dancing meets a rock concert," says Smith, 29, who grew up in Richmond and now lives in Williamsburg. He performs at Busch on occasion but these days is mostly on the road playing the Irish drums for Celtic bands.
Doherty is the dance captain for the Busch show, "Celtic Fire." He's won Irish dance championships and has toured with "Riverdance" and "Lord of the Dance."
"Scott and I worked together in 'Celtic Fire'," says Smith. "We each had a concept for an Irish show and started talking about how we could combine the two."
Two years in the making, the project features male and female lead singers, 10 Irish dancers and a seven-member band. About 90 percent of the cast has been associated with Busch Gardens Entertainment.
Doherty, 27, collaborated on the numbers and theming for the show and adds, "I'm also the choreographer for all of the dancing. I've spent the last year creating all the dances for our amazing cast that features professionals and world champions."
Christian Short, 22, of York County, who filled in at different Busch shows as a swing singer, is one of this weekend's lead singers. He's left the entertainment world, but "I love singing on the side, and I was happy to have the opportunity to get back into it," he said.
The show includes a number of familiar Irish tunes including "Fields of Athenrye" and "A Nation Once Again." Brent Frederick, a professional arranger out of New York, rearranged the tunes in a rock music style.
Smith plans to tape this weekend's premiere performances and put together a DVD that will be used to attract investors. He hopes to tour the show next year.
"We wanted to revamp the music so it will play well with both young and old audiences," Smith said.
"Every piece in the show has a nice push to it," he said. "It's about the music and the dancing and the excitement of the Irish culture."
David Nicholson can be reached at 757-247-4794.

So last night I just beat Aki the Chosen.. wow was that tough; but I managed to luckily enough beat her and get the quest to beat the Pandaren spirit tamers.
Basically I got my butt handed to me on a silver platter and was wondering if anyone had any ideas on what pets I should be using to counter this guy. Last night my team consisted of a Toad, Fluxfire Feline, and Flayer Youngling... farthest I got was last pet and that was because I was lucky enough to dodge the elementals Mudslide.
I think the overall issue with my pet selection is that none of them had any avoidance abilities (i.e Evanescence, Lift off, Dive, Burrow, etc.) Except Reflection but its on a 5 round cd and with the amount of damage that these guys dish out by the time its off cd I'm dead our about to die. -_-" lol
I just recently updated my pet collection so if you'd like to look it up and see what pets I have available its up to date. :]
Here is a link to a list of all of my pets with all of their info, etc. Very handy tool if you guys haven't heard of it yet.

Featured News - Current News - Archived News - News Categories
by Terry Duffy
Friday, a local citizens group joined an area resident at the Lewiston-Porter Intermediate Education Center with a message of being "instruments of change."
"We ask that if we differ ... we do so with respect," began, the Rev. Bette Bond of United Baptist Christian Church on Creek Road.
With that, April Fideli, president of Residents for Responsible Government, announced the leadoff of a campaign by RRG aimed at stopping expansion plans by Town of Porter hazardous waste landfiller CWM Chemical Services. CWM made news last week with state Department of Environmental Conservation hearings held at nearby Lew-Port High School on its renewal of a procedural DEC operating permit. It also has applications on file with DEC, which, if approved, would allow for the company's expansion, namely for a new Residual Management Unit-2 landfill at its Balmer Road facility.
It's an action that RRG has full intent of stopping. Invoking the memory of Ryan Henderson, 37, of Lewiston, who lost his life two years ago in an accident involving a CWM truck on Creek Road, Fideli took aim at the company and its trucks. "Hazardous waste trucks, mixed with school buses, minivans ... and drivers ... do not create a safe situation," she said.
"If CWM is gone, the trucks will be gone," said Fideli. "Today, RRG is kicking off a campaign ... stop the expansion, stop the trucks. ... We are done being the dumping ground for everyone else. ... Today I challenge everyone to get involved. Become the instrument of change in your community."
Fideli's remarks were followed by those of Tim Henderson, a RRG member and father of Ryan. "Two years ago, in an instant, my life was shattered when my son, Ryan, was killed by a hazardous waste truck," he said. "It has taken me two years to gather my courage, and today I'd like to address the threat that exists on our roads ... these are our roads, not CWM's."
Henderson related the problems of motorists and pedestrians dealing with CWM convoys on Creek Road and said this was not the only time area residents have had to contend with an accident. "There have been multiple semi-truck rollovers and accidents in our town over the years."
Noting his loss, he continued, "Ryan was only 37 years old when he was killed. He was a talented musician with a giving heart. He worked with developmentally challenged adults his whole life. His loss is felt by many."
Henderson went to fault what he saw as insensitivity by CWM, saying, "All this community gets following one of their accidents is a restatement of the company's safety policy. My family still awaits any expression of sympathy or concern from CWM."
Henderson closed his remarks by urging the handful on hand at Lew-Port to join him and RRG in its push to shutdown CWM and end the trucks, saying, "Our message is loud and clear. Join us today in making the noise and the difference needed to reclaim our roads."
Fideli thanked Henderson for his remarks and told those in the audience he was also speaking in his role as a new ambassador of the Road Safe America campaign.
The program closed with the announcement of Henderson's donation of a musical instrument in his son's name to the Lewiston-Porter Music Department, and also the donation of $1,000 by RRG in Ryan's memory to the Lew-Port Music Department for new band instruments. Fideli called both measures "instruments of change" by Henderson and RRG in the closure of CWM.
As visitors departed all were invited all to take home an RRG red and white sign of "No CWM expansion = no trucks" to spread the message throughout the community.

No. 10 Wisconsin beats West Virginia 70-63
CANCUN, Mexico (AP) — Four minutes into Wednesday's Cancun Challenge championship game and Wisconsin's Sam Dekker had four points and four rebounds. After 12 minutes, he had eight rebounds and eight points, and the No. 10-ranked Badgers had just scored 18 unanswered points against West Virginia.
Dekker finished with a career-high 21 points and grabbed 12 rebounds, and Wisconsin beat the Mountaineers 70-63 to remain unbeaten and win the tournament championship.
"He hits some big threes," said Wisconsin coach Bo Ryan, whose team is off to its best start ever under his stewardship. "I think he's getting better and he hit some big shots for us. He got on the glass, he was pretty active."
With 15 assists, Wisconsin (7-0) played team ball — four players scored in double digits — while West Virginia (5-2) was led by Eron Harris, with a game-high 27 points and a career-high seven 3-pointers, and Juwan Staten, with 18 points.
"He was hunting it down," Ryan said of Harris. "The way he was shooting, it was like, 'holy smokes.' But I thought we forced him into giving it up a few times, more than maybe he was comfortable with."
Ben Brust scored 16 points for Wisconsin, Josh Gasser had 11, Frank Kaminsky had 10, and the Badgers made 16 of 17 free-throw attempts. Both teams scored 11 3-pointers and traded treys down the stretch.
It was a tight game in the first period until 11:03, when Gasser hit one of his two 3-pointers and sparked an 18-point run that ended with a slam dunk by Dekker, who had eight rebounds in the period.
Wisconsin got the ball inside to score 10 points in the paint in the first period, setting up shots with eight assists, while West Virginia was content to shoot from the perimeter and was only 6 of 20 from the floor in the first 12 minutes.
Dekker led with eight points in the period and Kaminsky scored seven, including a left-handed bank shot while double-teamed to make the score 25-13. Brust and Gasser each had eight points in the period.
Harris led West Virginia with 14 points and Juwan Staten had 12. Harris hit 4 of 9 3-pointers to keep the Mountaineers in contention and helped narrow Wisconsin's lead to six with 42 seconds to play in the period. After draining a 3 to stop the Wisconsin run and scoring the Mountaineers' first points in just over 5 minutes, Harris clapped his hands in an attempt to rally his team. But Wisconsin kept its lead, and Dekker sank two free throws to give the Badgers a 39-31 halftime lead.
Wisconsin maintained a seven-point lead in the second half, but West Virginia kept chipping away by going 3 for 3 beyond the arc. Remi Dibo made it a four-point game by hitting a 3-pointer at the 10:16 mark.
West Virginia began stepping up its intensity on defense and the game got more physical. The Mountaineers had a chance to make it a two-point game but Kevin Noreen turned the ball over on a bad pass in an alley-oop attempt to Dibo.
West Virginia began getting into foul trouble and put Wisconsin into the double bonus with 6:49 to play. Devon Williams and Kevin Noreen were benched with four fouls each, and Wisconsin took advantage of its free-throw attempts. Traevon Jackson hit two to make it 54-46 and Dekker made two to increase the Wisconsin lead to seven with 6:11 to go.
West Virginia had its chances but couldn't capitalize when it counted. They got a needed stop, but turned the ball over on a travel.
Harris made it a four-point game by hitting two free throws with 3:56 to play, but Wisconsin's Jackson replied with a pass inside to Kaminsky for a dunk to defeat the Mountaineers' zone and make it 61-55. Then Dekker hit a 3-pointer to make it a nine-point game.
Harris responded with a 3 of his own with 2:25 to play, but Dekker hit his third three of night to give Wisconsin a nine-point lead with under a minute to play.
Harris hit his seventh 3-pointer with 19.7 seconds to play, but Wisconsin's lead was too much to overcome.
Wisconsin made it to the finals by beating Bowling Green 88-64 on Thursday, Oral Roberts 76-67 on Saturday and Saint Louis 63-57 on Tuesday. West Virginia beat Georgia Southern 101-68 on Thursday, Presbyterian 88-55 on Saturday and Old Dominion 78-60 on Tuesday.

Charlotte, NC needs a gaming jumpstart it seems.
by, 11-03-2010 at 01:24 PM (2014 Views)
Im either doing things horribly wrong or Charlotte is simply a place of the gaming void. Ive tried to join up with some groups in the D&D community that play the Living Forgotten Realms modules, but the problem I find here is that I might as well be doing war gaming. There is some role-play but youre pretty much an ass if your character has a problem with another persons character and wont let the module commence. You suffer PCitis horribly and thereby simply allow PCs into the party because they ARE PCs I hate meta-gaming. So I cannot play with that group anymore without going insane.
Other groups are similar or are locating themselves in the ONLY game store in Charlotte that has space or doesnt seem extremely pretentious, the main problem being is that its in the middle of bum-f*ck nowhere. So I cant really get my fix there.
Finding folks of like-mindedness to play has been irritating. Ive tried message boards and online gamer groups who end up exchanging outside contact information with me which pretty much leads up to the letdown of no one answering the phone, etc.
Im at my wits end. Do you folks here in Charlotte not like new blood? Do you absolutely HATE pursuing your own hobbies? I just dont get it .
Well, I cant give up as I would go completely bonkers, so heres to another shot! *bang*

Splinter Cell: Blacklist footage gets closer than ever
"We know you've been hungry for new Splinter Cell: Blacklist gameplay footage, and we're going to be giving you plenty," Ubisoft promises in this new trailer, before delivering approximately 30 seconds.
But that's a bit unfair; this trailer is the first of a series set to continue over the next few weeks, which will apparently show off a lot of classic gameplay series fans should feel more comfortable with than the action-oriented E3 demo or Fifth Freedom trailer, the last significant gameplay footage released – although Ghost Style's worth a look.
Not before time, too; Splinter Cell: Blacklist is due in northern spring 2013, on PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, as well as a likely appearance on Wii U.
Thanks, Joystiq.

Big snow headed our way
A serious storm, bringing as much as 20 inches of snow, fierce winds and the resultant high drifts, is forecast to clobber the state Friday and Saturday.
"It will be a nor'easter," Bill Jacquemin, chief meteorologist with the Connecticut Weather Center in Danbury, said Wednesday. "It's the first 10 days of February. That's when they come."
There are two storms moving over the United States -- one in the Midwest, one in the South -- that will merge and gather strength off the Atlantic Coast Thursday, then push north.
The storm will bring light snow to the region late Thursday night into Friday morning. It will worsen throughout Friday, Jacquemin said, and be at its most miserable late Friday afternoon into early Saturday morning.
Jacquemin said the storm's current track shows it will run along the "40/70 Line" -- 40 degrees north latitude, 70 degrees west longitude -- that will take it over Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket.
That's the line that traditionally means a storm that covers New England with snow, he said.
Jacquemin said there's a chance that the warmer air the storm will push ahead of it will give us a mix of snow, rain and sleet for at least part of the storm. If that happens, it could mean an extremely dense cover of about 8 inches of wet snow for Connecticut.
But, Jacquemin said, there's another model that shows the storm pulling down cold air from the north as it intensifies. That would mean all snow.
Danbury Mayor Mark Boughton said Wednesday that he and his department heads will meet mid-Thursday when the forecast becomes clear.
"All our equipment is ready, we're healthy, we have plenty of material,'' he said of the salt and sand needed to make roads passable. "We're ready.''
Because of the timing of the storm, its track and the history of the state getting some staggering storms in the first two weeks of February -- including The Blizzard of 1978 which hit Feb. 6 -- Jacquemin is leaning toward lots of snow.
"We could be seeing 18 to 20 to 22 inches,'' he said.

BERLIN (AP) — German officials say a device found on a railway station platform in Bonn could have caused a dangerous explosion if detonated, and they're looking for two people who may be involved in the case.
The device was found in a bag Monday and defused. Investigators said Wednesday it was composed of four butane gas cartridges, a metal pipe containing ammonium nitrate powder, three batteries and an alarm clock — but they haven't found any detonator.
Investigator Norbert Wagner said authorities are seeking a man seen carrying a bag in security footage from a station restaurant, as well as another man whom children reported seeing leaving the bag containing the device on the platform.
Police detained two men Tuesday, including a local Islamist radical, but released them for lack of evidence.

Heating pellets prove to be in short supply in NH
By DAVE SOLOMON
New Hampshire Union Leader
Anyone who did not pre-buy wood pellets this year is likely to find them in short supply for the rest of the winter. (UNION LEADER FILE)
Carol Newby's search for bags of wood pellets to fuel the family pellet stove took her on a tour of Southern New Hampshire last week, with little success.
"We usually get them at the local Agway," she said, "but they were in short supply and what they had was committed to customers who'd made pre-buys."
She was able to get a few bags at the Lowe's in Epping, but when she went back, they were out. After coming up empty at tractor supply stores in Epping and Hooksett, she tried a nearby Home Depot, which also had no pellets to sell.
Newby called Hearth Works Fireside Systems in Hooksett, which had already received 15 calls that morning, and the best the harried operator could offer was 10 bags, first-come, first-served.
"When I said, 'Your ad says you never run out,' she just hung up on me," Newby said.
Fortunately, Newby and her husband don't rely on their pellet stove for heat. "We bought a pellet stove as a supplement to oil heating," she said. "We have a good-sized house, with a pellet stove in the living area. It's an amenity, but we enjoy it."
The Raymond resident represents the majority of the market for wood pellets. A much smaller number of households rely on biomass as their sole source of heat. Those buyers are more likely to buy ahead of time for the winter.
Anyone who did not pre-buy pellets this year is likely to find them in short supply for the rest of the winter, according to manufacturers and distributors of the fuel made from compressed sawdust.
Demand outstrips supply
Charles Neibling, formerly general manager of New England Wood Pellet in Jaffrey, and now a consultant with the company, said demand has far outstripped supply this winter because of the colder-than-average temperatures in the past two months.
The company operates three plants that produce pellets from raw materials for the wholesale market. "All three have been operating at capacity for the last 12 months," said Neibling, but the company can't keep up with orders from the retail outlets and distributors it serves.
Neibling doesn't like to use the word "rationing," but that's what the company has had to do. "We essentially have all our sales outlets on allocation," he said, "in as fair and equitable a fashion as possible."
The shortage has come about because of a confluence of two factors, Neibling said. In addition to the below-average temperatures, more consumers have turned to pellet stoves to reduce the cost of heating by conventional fuels.As a result, he said, the market has seen a growing number of consumers chasing a limited supply, much like what has happened in the market for other fuels.
"It's not only wood pellets that are in short supply," he said. "Propane supplies are low; heating oil deliveries have been affected; and natural gas prices have gone through the roof. All heating fuels have had their supply or cost impacted by the significantly colder-than-average weather compared to recent winters."
The milder winters that preceded this year are part of the problem, Neibling said, because consumer behavior is based on the past winter, not the current one.
"Five or six years ago, it was common practice to buy pellets in the spring or summer, when inventories were plentiful, and sock it away in the garage," he said. "We've seen consumer behavior change in recent years and move in the direction of buying less volume all at once, replenishing constantly over the course of the winter."
Return to old habits
Neibling predicted that consumers will return to the old habit of buying early and storing pellets, which will encourage the creation of new production capacity to keep up with demand.
"The market will respond," he said, pointing out that production at New England Wood Pellets has gone from 40,000 tons in 2005 to nearly 250,000 tons this year.
"We've invested tens of millions of dollars in new capacity to keep up with growth in demand," he said, "and I suspect if conventional heating fuels stay expensive, we'll sustain that demand in the future."
David Nydam, CEO of Woodpellets.com, said his company, which sells directly to consumers, has been able to keep up with demand but it hasn't been easy.
"We still have pellets to sell, but it's been a lot tighter than in prior years," he said. "Our suppliers are filling on an allocation basis."
Woodpellets.com, a subsidiary of American Biomass Distribution of Goffstown, concentrates on deliveries, but operates a pick-up location in Manchester.
Minimum delivery from Woodpellets.com, however, is one ton, or 50 bags, which is more than a consumer like Newby might want to purchase at any given time. For people trying to find just a few bags, the search can be grueling, as she discovered.
Other items in short supply
Wood pellets and other fuels are not the only commodities affected by the frequent dips of the polar vortex this winter. Try finding a bag of rock salt.
"No rock salt" signs were visible at hardware outlets and grocery stores throughout the region over the weekend as heavy rain one day turned to solid ice the next.Braen Supply Inc., one of the largest national suppliers of the material, posted this warning recently on its website: "As rock salt continues to be used so frequently, it is becoming extremely difficult for local and national suppliers to keep up with demand. All of these factors are contributing to the rock salt shortage of 2014."
Even roof rakes were hard to come by as the region braces for yet another arctic blast.

40 Years Ago: Queen Play Their First Show in America
Although their eventual, stadium-packing credentials make a mockery of one's fading memories: Queen, just like every rock and roll band, had to prove their worth as concert openers before graduating to headliner status. And that's precisely what Freddie Mercury, Brian May, John Deacon and Roger Taylor were doing on the night of April 16, 1974, when they made their American concert debut in support of Mott the Hoople.
Fact is, because Queen's debut album had performed so modestly and with their sophomore, 'Queen II,' freshly delivered to American record stores just three days earlier (about one month after it's U.K. release), the group were still, by and large, unknowns in the new world. And, thus, they were effectively starting from scratch as they stormed the stage at Regis College (a conservative Jesuit institution!), in Denver, Colorado, to try and change this state of affairs — one show, and even one fan at a time.
Luckily, the men of Queen enjoyed close friendships with the men of Mott (the two bands having already toured extensively together, back home), and so the latter did not mind that their upstart openers already pranced and posed upon the stage like well-established superstars … or at least Freddie did! In fact, Mercury and May cut quite striking visions in the lavish silk and satin costumes (all black for Freddie; all white for May, in reference to 'Queen II's' "black" and "white" vinyl sides) that were custom-designed, just prior to the tour, by band friend Zandra Rhodes.
Queen's set, likewise relied heavily on their latest album, at first, powering up with 'Procession,' 'Father to Son,' 'Ogre Battle' and 'White Queen (As it Began),' before segueing into select first album highlights like 'Great King Rat,' 'Doing Alright,' 'Son and Daughter' and 'Keep Yourself Alive' (plus the never officially released 'Hangman'), before concluding with 'Seven Seas of Rhye' and finally, the explosive 'Liar.'
Meanwhile, the audience in attendance was initially fairly stunned into slack-jawed, wide-eyed silence by Queen's arena-sized display of heavy rock opulence, according to eyewitness reports. But they were clearly won over by set's end, because they shouted the band back on stage for, not one, but two encores, which the band devoted to vintage rock covers ('Jailhouse Rock,' Shake, Rattle & Roll') and, oddly cabaret stomps through Connie Francis' 'Stupid Cupid' and Shirley Bassey's 'Big Spender,' before demolishing the stage with 'Modern Times Rock 'n' Roll's' frantic heavy metal onslaught.
Obviously, headliners Mott the Hoople had their work cut out for them that night, and throughout the ensuing, month-long tour, which sadly ended prematurely and on a sour note for the members of Queen, when Brian May was taken ill with hepatitis and ordered to recuperate at once. So back home to dear old Blighty they went -- undoubtedly disappointed that their American assault had been suspended for the moment, but also confident that that country's first impression of their band had been both positive and promising, with many triumphs waiting in the next few years.

The winter business meeting of the Christian Family Movement has neither the excitement of its circus-type annual convention nor the power-charged atmosphere of a smoke-filled room. It is more like a New England town meeting, where there is a noticeable absence of prepared speeches and the presence of people who know each other well enough to speak their minds without fear of offending. This intramural, give-and-take atmosphere offers a fine opportunity to assess the movement after a decade of its existence.
The 1960 meeting at the Fatima Retreat House on the Notre Dame Campus was officially the semiannual meeting of the movement's governing body, the Coordinating Committee. This body is composed of a couple and a priest from each diocese in the United States and Canada in which CFM exists. About fifty couples and fifteen priests were in attendance.
True Strength
At one session each couple gave a short report of the movement in their diocese. These reports were largely a recital of projects of local groups. In Portland, Ore, the main concern was the World Refugee Year. They considered the thirteen families which they had resettled to be only a start. In Omaha, Neb., CFM represented the diocese at hearings of a Congressional subcommittee on indecent literature and in preparation for the White House Conference on Children and Youth. In the Diocese of Saginaw, Mich., they were arranging a God-and-man lecture series and an art exhibit. Richmond, Va., reported on its racial integration efforts and its work on behalf of lay missionaries. The Detroit groups were involved in projects dealing with foreign students, retarded children and a citizens' committee on religious liberties. Chicago's CFM had sponsored a lecture series on politics and lent support to projects dealing with migrant workers, film forums and urban renewal. It is difficult to think of a single facet of American life which did not become the concern of some CFM group across the country.
Unless one has had experience with CFM at the local level, the detailing of reports can be quite deceptive. Actually, the strength of the movement is not in its projects, in spite of their impressiveness. CFM is basically a couple-centered form of Christian witness. Through its concern with every facet of life that even remotely touches the family, it helps members to live an integrated Christian life.
CFM specializes in producing good neighbors. Its best work is done in the apartment building, the block or the rural community in which the couple lives. Nevertheless, it is hard to conceive of a San Francisco layman boarding a plane for South Bend on Friday morning to tell the national committee that families who hardly spoke to each other are warm and friendly, that parishioners are more cooperative, or, that 28 people in one parish attended their first city council session after a meeting on political life. These are pedestrian things that every Christian should be doing, so on the plane he searches his mind for sensational projects to report—adopting Korean babies, for instance.
Is true Christian friendship or love pedestrian? Can it be taken for granted in the enchanting land of suburbia, where the "cult of togetherness" finds its midday, ritualistic expression in coffee-klatches? And where does friendliness gush forth more than in our own living rooms, when the unctuous and toothy ad man tells us about his soap? Or is there a compulsiveness about our "togetherness" which betrays our deep-seated insecurity and consequent distrust, loneliness and neurotic clamors for constant support and approval? Maybe this explains the high incidence of alcoholism among both men and women in upper income suburbs.
Erich Fromm writes trenchantly in The Sane Society: "There is not much love or hate to be found in human relations of our day. There is, rather, a superficial friendliness, and a more than superficial fairness, but behind that surface is distance and indifference."
In all human relationships, whether in an apartment building or an office, Fromm's distinction between superficial friendship and Christian love can be recognized. It is something sensed rather than defined. It is this inability to assess and verbalize the quality of Christian friendship that makes it difficult to spell out the goals of CFM in terms of brotherly love.
In the 'thirties Dorothy Day and Peter Maurin dramatized the need we had of Houses of Hospitality for the hungry, the thirsty, the homeless and the naked. Unfortunately, these love centers expanded and contracted with the business cycle, as though love and friendship were subject to market fluctuations. In an affluent society there is little drama in, or patience for, the storefront Christianity of the 'thirties.
We would like to think that every time a couple stand before a priest and pronounce their marriage vows, another family-style House of Hospitality has been established in some neighborhood. Because the couple standing at the altar is so enmeshed in our secular culture, there is little hope that they will rise above their surroundings and create an oasis which will bring peace, light and refreshment to all who come in contact with its members. It is to this task that CFM addresses itself. CFM is a school for teaching the art of loving through the present-day realities of family life. With every couple joining CFM there is the prayer and hope that, given two or three years under the discipline of the movement, love will find a trysting place in another neighborhood.
CFM Procedure
Probably the greatest thing the storefronts did was to teach the meaning of love to the staff and volunteers. It helped close the gap in communications between the "haves" and the "have-nots." Somehow the affluent must come to a firsthand knowledge of the people in our pockets of poverty and our racial islands. A graph or a table plotting incomes and places is not enough. Ordinarily there must be some emotional experience supporting the knowledge if love is to flame. This CVM attempts to provide by its discussion-action method. Slowly and haltingly it leads people through a feet-wetting process to discovering Christ in others.
CFM is aware that if its concept of love is genuine, it must reach beyond the patio and the barbecue pit. Without divorcing themselves from the challenge of love in their own backyard, each couple must see a neighborhood in the context of the entire metropolitan area and widen their vision to a concern for the blacks in the Union of South Africa. With our residential areas stratified according to incomes, the eliciting of this emotional experience of the needs of other categories of peoples demands creative programming and discerning local leadership.
CFM usually starts in a parish unostentatiously. Following the outlines suggested for beginners, the couples begin to explore a new way of life. It is an exciting adventure for a couple who, after years of married life, have tended to take each other, the children, the home and all they have in common, for granted. Conversation has a tendency to descend to
the trivial, except in moments of crisis. Without being aware of it, couples can be growing apart. In the early meetings they look through new lenses at themselves, their spouses, their children, the other couples in the group, the chaplain and their neighbors. It is simply a reassessing of established human relationships in terms of the Gospel teaching on love.
When, in the quiet of the evening, after the children are in bed, a couple prepare for a meeting by discussing what our Lord means in a particular passage of Scripture, they are really probing the deepest issues of life and getting to know each other again at ever deeper levels. During this first year or two in CFM, they are putting their spiritual house in order. Family prayer, more frequent and intelligent participation in the liturgy, spiritual reading and more service to the neighbors become woven into a new marriage garment. Once a couple has experience in living this integrated Christian life, there is the promise that this new-found life will continue to unfold, expressing itself in ways undreamed of and giving their children a faster start toward an understanding of Christianity.
After CFM brings its couples though this preliminary training course, it exposes them, in its annual programs, to every facet of the social teachings of the Church. This year, the theme is political life. Next year it will be international life. At each meeting of the coordinating committee, there is an endless and agonizing reappraisal of the effectiveness of these programs.
Some cannot understand why a family movement concerns itself with mental health, racial problems and international affairs, when we have mental health societies, interracial councils and a United Nations. CFM claims that families who wish to be modern apostles of the family must be exposed to all facets of family living. Couples are more effective witnesses for Christ if they know how to deal with disturbed neighbors or with rumors which give rise to racial disturbances, or if they see their responsibilities to neighbors abroad in terms of foreign visitors and lay missionaries.
CFM does not produce experts in these fields. It merely does what a political party or any large organization does for its precinct captains or field representatives. It gives them an understanding of or a feel for the issues, so that they can relay the information to the rank and file. The pronouncements of the Popes and bishops have little meaning until they can be explained and implemented by the people in the neighborhood. It is from such specialized programs that the projects reported at the Notre Dame meeting came. If CFM embarked on such programs without insisting on elementary forms of charity, it would run the risk of turning out experts and actionists in the social field at the cost of making them poor spouses and parents.
The question mooted most at the executive meeting was the future of the movement. Although CFM is still growing nationally and internationally, in a few dioceses where it has been established for more than a decade, the membership has crested. The dropouts become pronounced after couples have been members a number of years. The leaders of the movement continue to ask themselves whether a high rate of turnover is good or bad.
One view holds that two or three years in CFM gives a couple sufficient time to reorientate their married life along apostolic lines. When couples drop out of CFM, they will have more time to implement Catholic social principles in organizations which bear no Catholic label. It is in this latter type of organization that effective institutional change can be best advanced. In this view, CFM is a training course with a flexible but definite terminus for most couples.
The opposite view holds that people will not maintain an intense level of spiritual life and an interest in the social apostolate without the support of apostolic group life in the CFM. Parish life without a pervasive liturgical orientation and groupings for the mutual encouragement of apostolic-minded parishioners is hardly sufficient to support a high level of crusading endeavor. They hold that members must retain at least some connection with the movement to maintain their effectiveness.
Obviously, this question will not be settled by a consensus of delegates. It will be settled locally by individual couples assessing their spiritual needs, their apostolic responsibilities and what the movement has to offer. The most hopeful omen at the meeting, for CFM's future development, was its relentless spirit of self-criticism. Its continual re-examination of goals should dictate the changes necessary for both survival and effectiveness. One can, of course, become overly serious about survival. Only the Church must continue among men. Organizations which the Holy Spirit inspires come and go in response to cultural settings and the generosity of men. "The Spirit breathes where It will."
Pictured above: Patty Crowley, co-founder of CFM.
Then the gradual scarcity of couples where both partners were on the same spiritual/religious track began to take a toll. CFM brought in Marriage Encounter,at Notre Dame, staffed it's founding in expectation that after the weekend experience couples would become CFMers,. This did not happen as ME would not 'pass-on' couples to CFM but started weak "love circles' instead and they just became pious circles with NO formation. In the Spanish speaking this did not happen as Encounted couples were recruited into the Movimiento.
The initial clerical support was needed and done well but the gradual withdraw of clerical support also weakened the movement. Which of the above viruses was the crippling problem is still debated.

As part of my Thanksgiving break, I had the opportunity to stop in Moorefield, West Virginia and films some takes for filmmaker Jon Averill. He is a distant relative of Brig. Gen. William Woods Averell, the Department of West Virginia's great cavalry raider in 1863 and 1864.
In August of 1864, Brig. Gen. John McCausland's force of two brigades of Confederate cavalry camped near Moorefield to rest after his infamous raid which resulted in the burning of Chambersburg, Pennsylvania. While McCausland had about 2,600 men in his force, Averell tracked him down with no more than 1, 500 Union horsemen, from West Virginia, Pennsylvania and New York. Averell's scouts dressed in Confederate uniforms and relieved Confederate pickets and captured a southern patrol heading out of Moorefield early on the morning of August 7. Then they charged into the Confederate camps and routed Brig. Gen. Bradley Johnson's command encamped around Willow Hall, driving it back across the South Branch of the Potomac River.
At the river the 14th Virginia Cavalry charged out of McCausland's camp on the south bank of the river and a wild saber and pistol fight occurred in mid-stream. Averell's horsemen soon put McCausland's brigade to flight and the entire force was routed. Averell captured more than 400 prisoners and four pieces of artillery. The defeat shattered the core of Lt. Gen. Jubal A. Early's Cavalry at the very time that U. S. Grant was sending Maj. Gen. Philip H. Sheridan to the Shenandoah Valley.
Prior to Moorefield, McCausland's brigade had rendered good serv
ice at the battles of
Monocacy and Second Kernstown. Johnson's brigade had previously improved itself under its former commander, Brig. Gen. William E. Jon
es who was killed at the Battle of Piedmont on June 5, 1864. What progress these troops had made, was lost in the demoralizing defeat at Moorefield. I
n many ways, Moorefield was a preview of what was to come in the Shenandoah Valley. There is one significant qualifier – Sheridan's Cavalry in the Valley
overwhelmed their Southern counterparts through sheer force of numbers. Averell had used stealth and lightning quick strikes to achieve victo
ry not only at Moorefield, but also at Rutherford's Farm (Stephenson's Depot) on July 20, where he routed Confederate Gen. Stephen D. Ramseur. Ramseur had more
than 4,000 men in his force while again Averell was outgunned, having only 2,600 to take into the fight.

Python has a first class
unicode type that you can use in place of
the plain bytestring
str type. It's
easy, once you accept the need to explicitly convert between a
bytestring and a Unicode string:
>>> german_ae = unicode('\xc3\xa4', 'utf8')
german_ae is a
unicode string representing the German
lowercase a with umlaut (i.e., diaeresis) character "ä". It has been
constructed from interpreting the bytestring '
\xc3\xa4' according to the specified UTF-8
encoding. There are many encodings, but UTF-8 is often used because it
is universal (UTF-8 can encode any Unicode string) and yet fully
compatible with the 7-bit ASCII set (any ASCII bytestring is a correct
UTF-8-encoded string).
Once you cross this barrier, life is easy! You can manipulate
this Unicode string in practically the same way as a plain
str string:
>>> sentence = "This is a " + german_ae >>> sentence2 = "Easy!" >>> para = ". ".join([sentence, sentence2])
Note that
para is a
Unicode string, because operations between a
unicode string and a bytestring
always result in a
string—unless they fail and raise an exception:
>>> bytestring = '\xc3\xa4' # Uuh, some non-ASCII bytestring! >>> german_ae += bytestring
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in
position 0: ordinal not in range(128)
The byte '
0xc3' is not a
valid character in the 7-bit ASCII encoding, and Python refuses to
guess an encoding. So, being explicit about encodings is the crucial
point for successfully using Unicode strings with Python.
Unicode is easy to handle in Python, if you respect a few guidelines and learn to deal with common problems. This is not to say that an efficient implementation of Unicode is an easy task. Luckily, as with other hard problems, you don't have to care much: you can just use the efficient implementation of Unicode that Python provides.
The most important issue is to fully accept the distinction
between a bytestring and a
string. As exemplified in this recipe's solution, you often need to
explicitly construct a
string by providing a bytestring and an encoding. Without an encoding,
a bytestring is basically meaningless, unless you happen to be lucky
and can just assume that the bytestring is text in ASCII.
The most common problem with using Unicode in Python arises when
you are doing some text manipulation where only some of your strings
unicode objects and others are
bytestrings. Python makes a shallow attempt to implicitly convert your
bytestrings to Unicode. It usually assumes an ASCII encoding, though,
which gives you
exceptions if you actually have non-ASCII bytes somewhere.
UnicodeDecodeError tells you that you mixed
Unicode and bytestrings in such a way that Python cannot (doesn't even
try to) guess the text your bytestring might represent.
Developers from many big Python projects have come up with
simple rules of thumb to prevent such runtime
UnicodeDecodeErrors, and the rules may be
summarized into one sentence: always do the conversion at IO barriers.
To express this same concept a bit more extensively:
Whenever your program receives text data "from the outside"
(from the network, from a file, from user input, etc.), construct
unicode objects immediately.
Find out the appropriate encoding, for example, from an HTTP
header, or look for an appropriate convention to determine the
encoding to use.
Whenever your program sends text data "to the outside" (to
the network, to some file, to the user, etc.), determine the
correct encoding, and convert your text to a bytestring with that
encoding. (Otherwise, Python attempts to convert Unicode to an
ASCII bytestring, likely producing
UnicodeEncodeErrors, which are just the
converse of the
UnicodeDecodeErrors previously
With these two rules, you will solve most Unicode problems. If
you still get
UnicodeErrors of
either kind, look for where you forgot to properly construct a
unicode object, forgot to properly
convert back to an encoded bytestring, or ended up using an
inappropriate encoding due to some mistake. (It is quite possible that
such encoding mistakes are due to the user, or some other program that
is interacting with yours, not following the proper encoding rules or
In order to convert a Unicode string back to an encoded bytestring, you usually do something like:
>>> bytestring = german_ae.decode('latin1')
>>> bytestring
bytestring is a German ae
character in the '
latin1' encoding.
Note how '
\xe4' (in Latin1) and the
previously shown '
\xc3\xa4' (in
UTF-8) represent the same German character, but in different
By now, you can probably imagine why Python refuses to guess
among the hundreds of possible encodings. It's a crucial design
choice, based on one of the Zen of Python
principles: "In the face of ambiguity, resist the temptation to
guess." At any interactive Python shell prompt, enter the statement
import this to read all of the
important principles that make up the Zen of
Unicode is a huge topic, but a recommended book is

Minds, Inc.)—details are available at http://www.menteith.com/unicode/primer/; and a

Rep. Shea-Porter part of push to expose CEO salary ratio
December 03. 2013 8:29PM
U.S. Rep. Carol Shea-Porter, D-N.H., this week joined 31 other member of Congress in asking the Chair of the Securities and Exchange Commission to support a proposed rule to require publicly traded companies to disclose the ratio between chief executive officer pay and median employee compensation.
"Over the course of my lifetime, I've watched American workers become more productive than ever, only to see wages remain largely stagnant. Over those same decades, CEO pay has gone through the roof, rising from 42 times the average pay of workers in 1980 to 354 times that of the average worker today," Shea-Porter said in a statement.
"In 2012, the CEO of J.C. Penney made 1,795 times that of the average JCP employee. It's time for publicly traded companies to report on this disparity."
The letter to SEC chair Mary Jo White stated that it is important for investors to know the salaries of chief executives at publicly-traded corporations.
"At the same time, it is essential that these salaries be contextualized through comparison with the median employee salary at the firm," according to a statement from Shea-Porter's office. "The proposed rule also reflects public concern over disparate levels of executive compensation and the need to have this information available in an understandable format."
Last week, Shea-Porter cosponsored legislation that would prevent Wall Street banks from collecting tax breaks on fines paid to the U.S. government as a result of irresponsible behavior.
