From MEN:
THE Smiths are to be inducted into the rock'n'roll hall of fame in America next year, I can exclusively reveal, and the four band members could be on the same stage for the first time since their messy split in 1987.
The Manchester band, who helped put Strangeways and Salford Lads Club on the world map, are to be honoured by the Hall of Fame in a lavish ceremony planned for early next year, my spies tell me.
The entire band may make the trip for the induction, although judging by bass player Andy Rourke's reaction nothing is yet set in stone.
He tells me: "You never know what may happen. I don't know if we'll all go over there for the induction or not.
"It might just be Morrissey with three cardboard cut-outs. We'll just have to wait and see what happens."
If they do play on stage it will be regarded as a miracle after the bitter court case over performing royalties in 1996.
At the award ceremony they will be expected to give an acceptance speech in which most toast their peers and forebears in rock and follow it with a once-in-a-lifetime live performance as a tribute.
Artists are only eligible for induction 25 years after the release of their first record - meaning the time will be ripe for The Smiths next year, as their debut single Hand In Glove, was released in 1983. If they are inducted, The Smiths will join greats like The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and The Who among the elite of pop. Ceremonies have featured many unforgettable moments such as when Mick Jagger, Tina Turner, Bob Dylan, The Beach Boys and Bruce Springsteen shared the same stage or when Santana performed Black Magic Woman with ex-Fleetwood Mac member Peter Green, the song's composer and original performer.
The artists are further honoured when they are featured in the Museum's Hall of Fame exhibit, which includes a computerised juke box containing virtually every song of every performer inductee and a film on three huge screens recounting their careers and music.
The 2008 inductees will not be officially revealed until late this year.

My money is on MOZ and the 3 cardboard cutouts.
Fingers crossed. :blink:

Log Horizon Anime General Discussion Thread (NO SPOILERS)
Original creator : Mamare Touno
Plot summary : The story begins when 30,000 Japanese gamers are trapped in the fantasy online game world Elder Tale. What was once a "sword-and-sorcery world" is now the "real world." The main lead Shiroe attempts to survive with his old friend Naotsugu and the beautiful assassin Akatsuki.
Note : Touno debuted his novel on the user-generated content site Shōsetsuka ni Narō in 2010. Matsu launched his Log Horizon Gaiden Honey Moon Logs manga adaptation in ASCII Media Works' Monthly Comic Deneaki Daioh magazine last year, and the latest installment is running in the magazine's March issue this Saturday. Kazuhiro Hara began serializing the main manga adaptation on Enterbrain's Famitsu Comic Clear website last year, and Koyuki began drawing another manga called Log Horizon ~Nishikaze no Ryodan~ in Fujimi Shobo's Age Premium website last year also. The anime studio Satelight is producing the planned 25-episode series for airing on the public broadcaster NHK's E-Tele channel this fall.
This looks pretty good, even if people try to pass off as Sword Art Online ripoff without even seeing it (though it probably wouldn't air until fall). I'm looking forward this one only because it's written by the Maoyuu author, and I thought it looks superb when seeing it. I'll hold my judgment when the first episode of this new series will air.

This does look a lot like a project designed to capitalize on Sword Art Online. However, it already looks like a better show:

I indeed won't just dismiss this as a cheap cash in on SAO,and while I believe SAO's success definatly was a factor, this is coming from NHK and I always give NHK the benefit of the doubt (despite the "element hunters" of the world...).
Maybe this will replace Bakuman next fall?

I would be less worried about the writing so much as how much QUALITY one can expect out of the show with Satelight at the helm. That'd be my number one concern going in after there recent efforts with Muv Luv and some of the non-cg parts of AKB0048 as opposed to how much it will or won't resemble SAO.

Neat, the first Fall 2013 anime to be confirmed - and since it's going to bleed into the Winter season, the first 2014 anime as well.
Here's the official website. There's not much at the moment except some black and white images and character profiles. The main cast is all level 90 with the exception of the meek staff girl, whose stats aren't given... dunno if that means that this series is following in the footsteps of Hagure Yuusha no Estetica with godlike heroes, or if 'Elder Tale' pulls a Disgaea and allows for astronomical stats and experience levels.

Spoiler for Spoilers from volume one & two:
I'm afraid I have to stop here. It's very late here at this point of writing and I need to sleep @___@. But hopefully this would help, for now, to give a slightly better idea what Log Horizon is like. There's more, of course, and if there's one thing about the novels (up to what I've read) is that imho Touno Mamare built his characters around the world he created, not otherwise.

Thanks for the informative post, exactly what I needed (and makes me swallow my words in IRC earlier). Sounds much more interesting to me than SAO did. Will make sure to check it out. Wish there were translations for the LN though.

For anyone interested, the illustrations in this PV came from the novel and the main manga adaption (both done by the same artist).
Hope the next PV will show us some scenes from the anime itself =3

Emily Wheeler spent many years and countless hours searching for as many details as she could find about the days when her relatives lived and worked in Hendersonville.
Family means so much to Emily Wheeler that she spent many years and countless hours searching for as many details as she could find about the days when her relatives lived and worked in Hendersonville.
The Columbia, S.C., resident even tracked down distant relatives in other states to locate old photographs of her family. She scoured every family scrapbook she could find for old postcards and searched the Internet for any hint of a connection to her family's ties to the area.
The result of her hard work is a large collection of photographs dating back to the beginning of the 20th century. They show Hendersonville at a time when steers pulled wagons on Main Street, and horses and buggies carried guests from the Seventh Avenue train depot to the Wheeler Hotel, which stood on a corner of North Main Street now occupied by Bruce Drysdale Elementary School.
"Hendersonville has been such a part of our lives," Wheeler said last week as she stood inside the Waverly Inn and gazed across the street to the site where her family's hotel once stood. "Though it seems like Hendersonville has forgotten the Wheeler and Notermans, we have not forgotten Hendersonville."
Hendersonville soon will have the chance to remember Wheeler's family and their role in the city's history when her collection of photographs is put on display at both the county's Heritage Museum and public library.
The museum plans to include the Wheeler/Noterman family photographs in its exhibit celebrating Hendersonville's Golden Age after the train's arrival in 1879, said Carolyn Justus, chairwoman of the museum's board of directors.
"It ties right in," Justus said. "It depicts the Golden Age in Henderson County, what we are showing now. The railroad opened Henderson County, and the hotels and businesses boomed."
The Henderson County Public Library also plans to have a display of Wheeler's photographs in the library's main branch in the fall, said Mark Burdette, the library's special collections librarian.
Burdette said the library also is working with Wheeler to possibly take the digital images from her collection, either as a loan or through a purchase.
"They would be a very good complement to the Baker Barber Collection," he said.
The photographs in Wheeler's collection either show scenes not found in the Baker Barber photographs of Hendersonville over the years, or they might show some locations at angles different than the Baker Barber photographs.
The Wheeler Hotel opened in Hendersonville in 1895. It featured 100 rooms and a wide porch running the entire length of the building. The hotel was first run by Sam Wheeler, the son of the hotel's builder, D.H. Wheeler.
The hotel eventually changed ownership and became known as the Carolina Terrace before it was destroyed by fire in 1930. It was never rebuilt.
Emily Wheeler's father, Samuel Wheeler Jr., was born in the hotel. He later married Emily Noterman, who lived across the street in a home where Boyd Park stands today.
The Notermans had bought the home from two Anderson sisters, who used the money from the sale of their home to build the Waverly Inn next door.
Members of the Wheeler and Noterman families eventually moved away from Hendersonville and spread across the country.
Emily Wheeler visited Hendersonville last week to share her historical finds with the owners of the Waverly Inn. She timed the visit to coincide with the date that would have been her father's 100th birthday — Aug. 22.
She brought with her more than 50 enlarged, high-quality photographs she inherited from her grandmother and some she discovered over the years while researching her family's history.
"I wanted to be here for my father's 100th birthday," Wheeler said as tears filled her eyes. "You have no idea how much my father meant to me and to his community. He was known for his community service."
Wheeler's photos included portraits of her parents and other relatives, and pictures of the Wheeler Hotel and the Noterman home. Other photographs included scenes of guests on the hotel lawn, members of the Noterman family at Triple Falls in what is now the DuPont State Forest, and family hayrides and picnics. Some of the photographs include scenes around town, such as men riding wagons pulled by steers on Main Street, wagons loaded with lumber at a mill, and horses and buggies sitting ready to carry guests from the train depot to the Wheeler Hotel.
One photograph shows a 180-degree panoramic view of both the Waverly Inn and the Noterman home. Waverly Inn owner Diane Sheiry said it was exciting to see Wheeler's photographs of the area from years ago and to be able to see the "little pieces of history" in them.
Wheeler's visit and photographs made her even more interested in finding out whether anyone has photographs of the Anderson sisters, who built the Waverly, Sheiry said.
"I always thought it would be cool to have a picture of the Anderson sisters," she said.
The majority of the photographs in Wheeler's collection were taken by John Osthoff, a salesman and jeweler who married into the Noterman family.
Osthoff's photographs are more than just ordinary family photographs, Wheeler said. They have the look of high quality photographs often associated more with the professional photography of the time, she said.
Finding and collecting the photographs has been a pleasure and a challenge for many years, Wheeler said.
Now that members of her family no longer live in Hendersonville, Wheeler said she hopes putting her family photographs on display here will help keep the family's legacy alive.
Wheeler said she wants to "remind Hendersonville that once upon a time the Notermans and Wheelers were here."

South Carolina Woman Arrested For Giving Her 4 Year Old Son Shots Of Beer
Gretchen Lynn Kinnear was arrested after reports that the South Carolina woman was giving her 4-year-old son shots of beer while at the bar on Saturday night.
She is currently facing negligence charges for the offense as well as contributing to the delinquency of a minor. A man at the bar said that he witnessed the woman giving the boy 3-4 shots of beer and this was after he had asked the owner and barstaff to stop her.
When confronted by investigators, Kinnear admitted to giving the boy shots of 'blonde beer'. The child involved described the beverage that his mother was giving him as 'tea'. He said that the 'tea' "tasted funny, made him laugh a lot, and made him dizzy."
The boy also said that his mother gives him 'tea' at home. When confronted about this claim, the woman admitted that she will occasionally drink wine at home and give him some as well.
There are no details as to why the woman does this, but she says that she does not do it to get him drunk or to keep him quiet.

Prepare for a surge in grey colour schemes, transitional design and touch-activated faucets this year, according to the National Kitchen & Bath Association's annual design trends report.
The eagerly anticipated yearly forecast, which was released recently by the New Jersey-based NKBA, is compiled from a survey of more than 300 member designers in both the U.S. and Canada.
And, surprisingly, when it comes to several of this year's trends, staid old Ottawa can boast that it's already on the leading edge.
Here are the highlights from the survey:
Soaring in popularity since 2010, chic grey is now the colour of choice in 55 per cent of kitchens and 56 per cent of baths. "It's the new neutral," says Giuseppe Castrucci, president of the Ottawa chapter of the NKBA and vice-president of sales and marketing at Laurysen Kitchens, which offers two shades of grey: pepper and a slightly lighter anise. "You can put almost anything with it: stainless-steel appliances or black ones, and you can go classic or über-modern with the design."
When it comes to painted cabinetry, white is king, says the NKBA. It's jumped from 47 per cent in 2011 to 67 per cent this year. Glazed finishes are being used on a little less than half of all cabinetry, up slightly from the past couple of years.
In both kitchens and bathrooms, transitional design - which blends classic and contemporary to achieve simplicity but without the severity of purely modern design - continues to edge out our former love affair with traditional. "Traditional seems to date itself," says Sandra Gibbons, co-ordinator of Algonquin College's Kitchen and Bath Design program and a founding member and current treasurer of the Ottawa chapter. In shifting to transitional, we're showing our hunger for "something more progressive and a wow factor."
Energy-efficient, long-lasting but still-expensive LED lighting is being specified by 77 per cent of the NKBA's member designers, up from 50 per cent three years ago. Ottawa builders such as Minto, Urbandale, Tartan and Cardel offer LED lighting as an upgrade, although Card-el and Urbandale are evaluating the possibility of switching some standard fixtures to LEDs.
Quartz is now a close second to granite in both kitchens and baths, according to the NKBA. At Laurysen, quartz and granite are already running neck-in-neck.
"We're seeing more and more colours and patterns with quartz all the time," says Castrucci. "Granite is just granite."
Speaking about trends generally, he notes the NKBA results can be American-centric. Canadians, for example, have long been into European-style cabinetry, whereas Americans are still making the shift from traditional.
He also says that, thanks to the Internet, it now takes about six months for hot new trends from Italy to wash up on our shore, whereas it used to take years.
Glass backsplashes are all the rage, says the NKBA, leapfrogging from 42 per cent in 2010 to 64 per cent this year.
Old hat, says Castrucci: "We had our run on glass a year-and-a-half, two years ago." Increasingly, clients are asking for solid granite and quartz backsplashes to match their countertops. Porcelain tile, including tile with art details, remains a good seller.
Touch-activated faucets are now specified by 32 per cent of NKBA member designers. The price has dropped but Ottawa's Preston Hardware, which carries the Delta line starting at around $450, says they remain a specialty item. Pullout faucets, which can run over $500 at Home Depot, remain the most popular type, according to the NKBA.
Satin nickel continues to be the popular finish for kitchen faucets, with bronze or oil-rubbed bronze in close pursuit. Polished nickel and chrome are increasingly passé.
In the bathroom, undermount sinks remain No. 1. Integrated sink/ tops are edging up in popularity, growing from 35 per cent last year to 41 per cent in 2013. Ceramic and porcelain tile still lead in bathroom flooring.
Designers told the NKBA that the average cost of their kitchens this year will be $47,308, down from last year's $51,050. Figures for Ottawa are not available. However, no matter how much you spend, tastes remain individual, says Gibbons.
"It's like fashion trends - if you didn't like overalls, you didn't wear them."

Denmark caps off the European Year 2012 with the "Active in life - Generations meeting" conference
More than 300 people gathered in Copenhagen on December 4th to celebrate the National Closing Conference of the European Year 2012 in Denmark. Held at the Hotel Scandic, the event was organised by the ministries of Employment, Health, and Social Affairs and Integration, in cooperation with the European Commission Representation and the European Parliament Information Office in Denmark.
© Charlotte Riddervold
Hosted by the journalist Trine Sick, the conference included several lectures around the topic "Active in life - Generations meeting" and the cheerful performances of the chorus of senior men Mandskoret Djursland and the theatre group C:ntact, an independent organisation dedicated to ethnic, social, and cultural integration.
Ageing researcher Henning Kirk talked about what means getting old from a medical perspective, while Lis Puggaard, from the University of Southern Denmark, explained the benefits of an active ageing and why people in Denmark are getting older in better shape. "It's probably because for many years Denmark has implemented initiatives such as preventive help at homes, falls prevention, physical activity and others", she said.
Jakob Jensen, Chief of the Danish Agency for Labour Retention and International Recruitment, addressed the issue of seniors in the work market and how the crisis is affecting them. Karen Marie Fiirgaard, HR consultant from Aarhus municipality, shared some experiences about intergenerational learning initiatives.
One of the highlights of the day was when Karen Haekkerup, Minister for Social Affairs and Integration, and Zsuzsanna Jakab, WHO Europe Regional Director, announced the winners of the City of All Generations Awards: the municipalities of Nakskov, Skanderborg and Frederiksberg. The competitions, organised in the framework of the European Year 2012, aimed to find the most age-friendly Danish city.
Continuing with the theme of the age-friendly cities, Anne Mette Boye, from the Aarhus School of Architecture, gave a lecture about the trends in urban development and the need to accommodate the environment to the needs of people according to their age.
Fritz von Nordheim Nielsen, Deputy Head of Unit at the DG Employment of the European Commission, expressed this satisfaction for the success of the European Year and the fact that the "idea of active ageing has really been cemented as a concept for how Europeans can adapt their lifestyles to the new opportunities in a society with an increasingly higher age and an amended population pyramid".
The conference ended with a panel debate about Active Ageing and Solidarity between Generations with the participation of Bjarne Hastrup (DaneAge), Signe Bo (Danish Youth Council), MEP Ole Christensen, Poul Erik Tindbaek (Aarhus Municipality), Lis Puggaard (University of Southern Denmark) and Per Larsen (National Council for Children).
Astrid Krag, Minister of Health and Prevention, closed the ceremony reminding the audience about the importance of building bridges between old and young.

The traditional common-law principle of "Ignorantia juris non excusat,"--Latin for "ignorance of the law" does not excuse--prevented a criminal defendant from escaping liability by claiming that he was unaware that his conduct was unlawful. When most crimes were malum in se--meaning inherently wrong according to the generally accepted moral code--the concept of "ignorance is no excuse" went unchallenged. That was all before the phenomenon of overcriminalization, before criminal codes and regulatory provisions were flooded with new criminal offenses, many of which were vague, ambiguous, duplicative and well-beyond the scope of the traditional common-law-based criminal justice system.

The San Jose Earthquakes will host fundraising efforts to help support former Earthquakes midfielder Joe Vide's battle with Hodgkin's Lymphoma.
The Quakes will auction off game-worn autographed jerseys of the Starting XI from their 4-0 win over the New York Red Bulls last Saturday at Buck Shaw Stadium. Five jerseys will be auctioned via eBay (click here to see the available jerseys), and the remaining six jerseys will be auctioned off at the Earthquakes next home game on Saturday, May 29 against Toronto FC at 7 p.m. PT, which will be broadcast live on Comcast SportsNet California, 1220 KDOW (English radio) and 1370 KZSF (Spanish radio).
Vide, who appeared in five games with the club in 2008, was recently diagnosed with Stage 3 Hodgkin's Lymphoma. The Earthquakes have provided many avenues for fans to be able to help ease Vide's financial burden due to the cost of treatment. The Quakes will conduct the auctions as well as collect donations at the Guest Services booth in the North End of Buck Shaw Stadium, with all proceeds going to Vide's foundation. Checks can be made out to the Earthquakes Community Fund with Joe Vide.

Rumors about a T-Mobile branded HTC Wildfire S have been floating around for a bit. Fortunately, T-Mobile has decided to clear up the rumors. They've announced the HTC Wildfire S will be landing on T-Mobile USA later this summer. Specs for the T-Mobile HTC Wildfire S match up with the European version of the phone quite nicely. The Wildfire S spec sheet features a 3.2-inch display, 5 megapixel camera, Swype, HTC Sense and Android 2.3, all running on a 600 MHz processor with 512 MB of ROM, 512 MB of RAM and a 1230 mAh battery.
T-Mobile plans to launch the HTC Wildfire S on August 3 for $79.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate and a qualifying two-year voice and data contract. The HTC Wildfire S will be available in white at your local T-Mobile store, but you'll need to purchase the phone from T-Mobile's website, Wal-Mart or Sam's Club if you want to pick up the black model. We've sent a note to HTC's PR folks to see if they can share the off-contract pricing. As soon as we hear something, we'll let you know.

Easter, day 2
Today's festival highlights (I forgot to take my phone, so couldn't twitter my fun):
A duo called Bygone Errors, who played innuendo-stuffed music hall era songs and told very bad jokes (Why does a bike not stand up by itself? It's too tired (two-tyred). Boom boom!) They were very funny, and there were a lot of older people in the audience who knew the songs, so much jolly singalonging ensued. BB's parents arrive tomorrow, we're going to take Grandpa to see them, he'll love it.
Watching the Fiddle Chicks play a superb rendition of Frankenfurter's song 'I'm Going Home' in the Infinite Rocky Horror tribute heat. It had deep shades of Ultravox's 'Vienna'. The Rocky Horror theme isn't working very well this year. It's hard to camp up something already so campy, and straight or soulful renditions don't work that well either. Most of the acts are playing 'There's a Light (Over at the Frankenfurt place)', which, I've worked out, is because it has the most life-affirming hippy lyrics (There's a light // in the darkness // of everybody's life). Blech.
But the Fiddle Chicks made it work.
And then, the piece of resistance for me (although I've come home to bed way before the night is over) was Shane Howard (from Goanna), his lovely daughter and his guest vocalist, Amy Saunders from Tiddas (not Martha, Crit!). It was a superb session of original new material, finishing with a fabulous rendition of Solid Rock with a guest didge player, William Barton. I must have heard that song endless times on the radio, but it brought tears to my eyes tonight... whether with joy or nostalgia, I don't know. Barton's didgeridoo playing was spine-tingling.
OK, time to go to bed in anticipation of Easter Eggs! As I said on Facebook, I did the wife-of-a-busy-man thing this year and bought my own egg. But I made damn sure that it's bigger than his. :)

I love William Barton.
I always think the 2 scariest sounds the early white fellas heard would be the didge and the kookaburra. Imagine!

I was asked to purchase a Lindt Easter Bunny yesterday but unfortunately the supermarket had sold out so I had to buy myself a rocky road easter egg instead. Luckily he had one I prepared earlier...
Hope the health issues clear up soon.

Ah yes, Tiddas! I wish I'd been able to stay on for Solid Rock...I didn't have that album, but I have Oceania on vinyl.
The other thing about the theme is that it's all so vocal, so you're really only able to participate if you're a band with a vocalist. Totally right about the campyness of it though, and now I have a craving to watch the movie, and I want to show some of the musical numbers to D ;-)

Starts key for Botkins in 3-0 sweep of W-G
Sports Editor
WAYNESFIELD — The better they played at the start of games, the easier time the Botkins Trojans had trying to finish them Saturday in their 3-0 win against the Waynesfield-Goshen Tigers in a non-league varsity volleyball match.
Botkins had a 5-0 lead to start Game 1 and a 7-0 lead to start Game 2, landing eventual wins by double digits, 25-14 and 25-11. In Game 2, the teams were tied at 5-5 in a match that W-G led at times, though Botkins eventually rallied for a 25-11 win.
Botkins varsity coach Bryan Trego described how his team approaches the start of each game.
"We really focus on starting with positive hits, sets and serves and canceling yourself out with negative hits, especially at the beginning of the match when working into game speed," Trego said. "You want every hit to be the hardest hit possible. If the other team is getting kills, that's on them, but we're not going to hurt ourselves early. We can't start off in a hole."
In Game 2, the Tigers had a lead three separate times, the last instance at 14-13.
Botkins took its final lead of Game 2 at 21-20.
W-G varsity coach Caitlin Klima commented on the differences between Games 1 and 3, each double digit losses, and Game 2 in which W-G led multiple times.
"The second game was a close game. We had our heads in it. We played well together," Klima said. "In the first and third games, we just fell apart. We didn't communicate."
Botkins' Sami Vehorn had 12 kills Saturday, adding two aces and three digs.
Botkins' Allison Guckes notched a team-high 37 digs. Rachelle Maurer had 16 digs, supplying 10 kills andtwo aces. Denise Schwartz recorded eight digs, seven kills and two aces.
Trego highlighted those individuals for their performances Saturday.
"Sami Vehorn is a sophomore and has been a huge part of our offense as our middle. She's done a good job there," Trego said. "Allison Guckes, Rachelle Maurer and Denise Schwartz have really been passing the ball well, which has sparked our offense lately."
Also for Botkins, Jocelyn Counts had 18 assists.
For W-G, Taylor Van Horn had eight assists, five blocks and seven digs and Abbie Van Horn added five blocks, three kills and one ace and Alicia Kessler tallied four blocks and three kills.
Klima said Sierra Williams had a good day Saturday because she moved her feet well.
Saturday's win was Botkins' second straight after a loss in the season opener.
Trego described what has changed since the loss.
"Our passing has gotten cleaned up. The girls have been passing the ball well and cleaning up serve-receive," Trego said. "I also never felt like we were in control of the match. The last two matches I felt we were in control. We've passed the ball well and ran our offense."
Trego outlined what area his team needs to improve most moving forward.
"It seems like we still have some ruts where we give some points away," Trego said. "Sometimes teams will earn it but also there's times when we help them along."
Klima described her team's biggest struggles through two matches this season and how they can be improved.
"We are struggling with communication and teamwork," Klima said. "Improving them will just help us become a more efficient team overall. Everyone would know what's going on."
Saturday's win put Botkins at 2-1 overall this season.
W-G dropped to 0-2 with the loss.
Botkins will return to action today with a home match against New Bremen at 5:30 p.m.
The Tigers will face Delphos Jefferson in a non-league road match tonight at 7 p.m.

OFFICIAL: All crime that happened in mid-September was GTA V's fault
At least, that seems to be what a new article from The Daily Mail is implying.
Carrying the headline CCTV shows dramatic moment 'model pupil', 15, held up bank workers at gunpoint in Grand Theft Auto-style robbery" the story goes on to highlight among its six-bulletpoint strap that:
- Judge said at previous hearing the child was 'acting like a real-life action video game'
- The raid was carried out in the week Grand Theft Auto V was released
Dressed all in black, with the fur-lined hood of his coat pulled tightly over his head, the teenager is shown pointing the weapon at staff members during the raid, which he carried out in the week Grand Theft Auto V was released," the story says.
District Judge Ian Lomax told Liverpool Youth Court last month that the teenager was 'acting like a real-life action video game'."
Only when the reader delves deeper into the story is the following statement, which could easily have set a very different tone for piece, discovered:
- Judge Clement Goldstone said 'it was not that sort of case at all' as the boy's family would not allow him to watch 'inappropriate' television programmes, films or video games.
Indeed, the guilty party was only apprehended after his mother discovered the fake firearm and dye-stained cash haul in his bedroom and decided to hand him over to the police.
Prosecutor Kim Egerton said: She (his mother) had raised him to understand if he did something wrong there would be consequences and though she loved her son it was the right thing to do.
'As such, my lord, the honesty, integrity, and decency of this family shone through by their actions."
The court was also told that the youngster had been driven to robbery because he not only 'envied the material possessions of his friends" but also wanted to reduce the financial burden on his family, who were having to pay for private tuition for him as his school grades were declining".
Anyway, sense and reason aside, if GTA V is responsible for all crime during its launch week is it also responsible for everyone who decided to get a haircut? Or go mountain biking in the hills? Or visit the beach? Or play tennis? Or STOP a robbery? All of which can also be done in GTA V.

Okay. I just figured I'd give you some options to keep them OUT of your house & kill them if they somehow find some teeeny tiny crevasse to creep through.
Hoyden wrote:Diatomaceous Earth and salt kills slugs fast, it dries them out. No more squwoooooosh under feet.
Or you can drown them in stale beer, but make sure your dogs can't drink the beer. I put a neat little plastic mesh over the top. Let's slugs in, keeps dog tongues out.
Or you can adopt some chickens or ducks to eat them. Chickens lay eggs. I'm sure Truman would love boiled eggs. (You can make boiled eggs, right?)
Leave out dog/cat food to attract possums who will eat them.
OR you can build a little pond so you can have a turtle that will eat them. I'm not sure how effective a turtle would be though. Turtle racing for the slug vs. slug getting in the house. It might be a close race.

User Manual:Diagnosing Problems
|User Manual:Accessory Modules
|User Manual:Index
|User Manual:Regression Testing
It can be frustrating when things don't work. Please remember two things about MythTV when you run into problems like this: 1) it's in early, early beta (0.15 is a *very* low version number -- on purpose) even if it's working ok for you, and 2) it was free. :-)
Asking Good Questions
As with all open source projects, while you don't pay someone *cash* for the software, it's not entirely 'free', either. The investment you make, sometimes, is diagnosing problems (sometimes on your own, sometimes with the help of the mailing list), and *reporting them back to the list*. This way, the solution (and if you do this, please try to put [solved] in the subject line so people will be able to spot the solution -- and we wouldn't object to you posting an question and answer here too. :-)
And you're much more likely to get an answer if you've done some legwork on your own, first: an excellent reference for the sort of legwork you might want to *do* is Eric Raymond and Rick Moen's "Asking Questions The Smart Way".
In this section, my approach will be to put a whole bunch of questions and answers on each page, rather than one per page, because the latter approach always frustrates *me* when I'm trying to fix something. I've found that seeing the other questions and answers as you go by can be useful as well.
What They'll Need To Know
The specific examples, at the moment, are those of my machine, and note that *all* characters are significant -- and that many of these things don't change frequently; creating a file with your setup in it for mailing list postings can be useful. I'm going to make this into a Wiki Template, so you can easily create a subpage here from your Home Page, for quick reference.

Once you have assembled all the necessary information, which may include the contents of several log files (the frontend, backend, and pertinent parts of the system logs), you need to know where to go to ask questions.
Before or After?
The important thing to know about a problem when you're trying to help someone fix it is: was the system (mostly) working and the problem is new, or have you not gotten the system working yet.
Where to Ask
So, now that you know what to ask, and what information people will need to help you diagnose your problem, and you've done some of your own legwork to figure out the most likely causes, you need to know where to go to ask your question.
There are three places, in ascending order of immediacy, that you can go to ask questions. Each has advantages and disadvantages, both for you and for other people.
If you have an IRC client program, and know how to use it (that's beyond the scope of this document [I've *always* wanted to say that :-)]), you can visit the MythTV users IRC channel
(Note that there's another channel for developers, which has a name that does not end in -users; it's topic typically reminds you that it is not a user support venue.)
It's faster: if there's someone around who knows what is causing your problem, you might be able to get an answer instantly.
There may *not* be someone around who knows were your problem is coming from. If you *do* get an answer, there's no record of it -- as there would be if you'd asked on a mailing list -- so others can't benefit from it.
Best For
Lightweight questions, especially those about installation and compiling.
Not So Much
Long involved questions that are dependent on your installation and it's parameters.
you may find it helpful to read the StatusMonitoringHowTo
Use top to see what is happening with your system
press i to hide the idle processes
$lsof -p
will list all the files open by each process (there will be a lot but might give you a starting point).
Performance Issues
What follows are some commands to try in isolating performance issue.
MythTV should only be writing to your disk every 3 to 5 seconds.
What processess are likely to be writing to disk
1. Mysql :Note that some distros have mysql logging turned on If you want to turn off the mysql logging, comment out the line in /etc/mysql/my.cnf containing '/var/log/mysql/mysql.log'.
2. Mythbackend logging
3. Mythbackend recording
4. Linux Virtual Memory paging
5. Linux buffer cache flush
6. Commercial Flagging
7. Transcoding
If you experience a high amount of disk activity there are a few things you can check.
You can track which process is reading/writing the disk by doing:
$echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/block_dump
Then use 'dmesg' to tell you which process is using the disk. Turn off tracking again with
$echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/block_dump

Harvard Searched Email Subject Lines Of Faculty To Sniff Out Leak
from the why-people-keep-private-emails dept
Havard has defended the search by arguing it was very limited -- just to specific accounts and just to subject lines:
Consequently, with the approval of the Dean of FAS and the University General Counsel, and the support of the Dean of Harvard College, a very narrow, careful, and precise subject-line search was conducted by the University's IT Department. It was limited to the Administrative accounts for the Resident Deans — in other words, the accounts through which their official university business is conducted, as distinct from their individual Harvard email accounts. The search did not involve a review of email content; it was limited to a search of the subject line of the email that had been inappropriately forwarded. To be clear: No one's emails were opened and the contents of no one's emails were searched by human or machine. The subject-line search turned up two emails with the queried phrase, both from one sender. Even then, the emails were not opened, nor were they forwarded or otherwise shared with anyone in IT, the administration, or the board. Only a partial log of the 'metadata' — the name of the sender and the time the emails were sent — was returned.The issue, though, is the expectation of privacy and the level of trust built up between staffers and the university -- and actions like this, even when done narrowly and carefully, can break down that trust in significant ways.
"The Resident Dean whose account had been identified was asked about the incident and voluntarily reviewed his/her own sent items and confirmed that she/he had indeed forwarded the message to two students. Although the Resident Dean's actions violated the expectations of confidentiality surrounding the Administrative Board process, those involved in the review and the conversation with the individual were sufficiently convinced that it was an inadvertent error and not an intentional breach. The judgment was made not to take further action.

5 charred bodies found in northeast Mexico
MEXICO CITY (AP) — Police have found five charred bodies inside a pickup truck abandoned and set ablaze on a northern Mexico highway.
An official with Coahuila state prosecutors says the five men found Thursday died of asphyxiation and all had been shot in the head post-mortem.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he is not allowed to discuss an ongoing investigation.
Police found the victims ages 15 to 25-years-old outside the capital city of Saltillo, an area where the Zetas drug cartel is active.
Authorities are investigating whether the attack is related to this week's capture of top Zetas leader Miguel Angel Trevino Morales. Experts have warned his arrest could cause a spike in violence in northeast Mexico, an area the brutal cartel dominates.

Project Danger Den Water Box Plus Case Review (Part 2)
Closer Look:
The heart of any water cooling system is the water pump. Without it, this wonderful cooling method just does not work. The pump we have chosen to use for this build is Danger Den's DD12V-D5. With a maximum head of 13.8 feet and maximum flow of 5.2 gallons per minute, this pump should easily meet all of our needs. The 12V DC pump is powered from the power supply, so no additional power cables or plugs need to be fit to the case as you would have to do with a 115v AC powered pump. This pump is sold by several different companies but is produced by Laing Thermotech.
The pump comes in a plain white box with the Laing labeling and the basic specifications.
Once inside the box, the pump is well supported, preventing damage during shipping. The pump comes with a manual and industrial strength velcro to hold the pump in place.
The manual covers not just this version of the D5 pump, but all of its variants. Inside are basic tips on installation and troubleshooting.
After trying to decide what size tubing to use, we settled on 1/2" tubing to gain some additional water flow and cooling performance.

My Life in a Pie
Yesterday she had us map our lives in a pie chart based on these six things--
My social, intellectual, creativity, and physical were my largest.
My emotional and spiritual were slivers.
For some reason I seem to neglect the emotional and spiritual side of myself. With autumn approaching, I realize I can't do this or I will end up in the seeming never-ending funk when the Northwest skies become a wool blanket of grey that is over us for six months.
If you were to make your life into a pie, what slices would be the smallest? the largest? And would kind of pie would your life be?
* * *
This time of year my life is not a pie, but Apple Brown Betty.
I have yet to make it because the weather has been so incredibly beautiful, but once it cools down and the leaves begin to change, this will be my comfort food- with french vanilla ice cream and whipped cream. Somewhere on this blog is my recipes for it, from scratch and the easy version. Both are fantastic.
3 comments:
I love Apple Betty - never heard "Brown" as part of the title, but I'm pretty sure we're talking the same thing. Now I'm going to think about it all weekend.ReplyDelete
The pie things is really scary. Especially because I've used the Manic Time gadget for a few weeks now and as a result I have a pretty good idea what that pie would look like and it isn't a pretty sight.
an interesting idea. i probably don't give myself enough "non-doing something time" or physical working out as I should but I'm working on it. I think instead of pie right now, I'm microwave fudge - way too easy to make so i should try something harder :)ReplyDelete
It was that Manic Time that let me know I was spending too much time on Facebook. It was the #1 website I visited. Not good.
And I reposted the Apple Betty/Apple Brown Betty recipes. You can see if they are the same.
Not doing anything time is really important. The artist in my creativity class had us go outside for 10 minutes and do nothing, just be. We have to do it 15 a week, which isn't much, yet we all do a good job of forgetting to just be.

Take amazing street snaps and discover Barcelona's street art scene with a professional photographer.
In this two-hour workshop you'll wander through Raval—an area of Barcelona known for its diversity, art, and colourful streets. It's the perfect place to work on your street photography techniques, so you will go home with some great-looking photos. We'll practice spotting photo opportunities, and we'll work on developing a better understanding of the components of a great street image. We'll look at the technical aspects of street photography—composition, exposure, light, and focus. We'll also visit some of the city's best spots to see some amazing street art and giant murals along the way.
At the end of the workshop we'll head to Enkel - a bar known for its great coffee and locally brewed craft beers, to enjoy a drink together. We'll help you review your photos and give you some feedback.
This workshop is great for all levels. Whether you're new to photography or have more experience, we'll take you to some of Barcelona's most photographic locations and help you capture the best shot each time. Plus, all our workshops are kept to smaller numbers so you can enjoy a personalised experience, with one-on-one tuition and feedback on your photos.

This pledge closed almost 5 years ago
In early 2000, my friend Yvelline Pelletier traveled to the region of Guyana, South America. Upon her return to California, she told me of the situation for the stray dogs in that area of the world, how they are continually hit by buses, and how much they needed help. Since that time I have wanted to help in some way, and now, thanks to the wonderful donations by Animal Spay Neuter International supporters, we are able to. In 2012, I received a phone call from Karin King, asking if our team could possibly travel to Suriname (formerly Dutch Guyana) to help the strays. She told me she had contacted organizations from all over asking for help, to no avail. Well, many of us, including myself, have been in that same position of pleading for help with no response or hope in sight. ( This very thing happened to me when starting to help in Romania, which is why we began our own charity for Romanian animals.) Karin's plea touched me and our vet team from Romania (and UK vet tech Ruth). It's been months in the planning stages, and thanks to free airline tickets (ASNI paid for 1 ticket and taxes, and tickets from Romania to Amsterdam) from Suriname Airways and free accommodations provided in Suriname, the Romanian and British "Dream Team" are on there way to provide 500 free spays/neuters in Suriname, departing on February 20. Thank you for being there for all the animals, for making this a better world, and for understanding that we all need to be there for each other to reach the goal of no more suffering. Bon Voyage my dearest friends! I wish you safe travels as do all our friends!
Love to you Dr. Aurelian Stefan, Dr. Petrisor Stefan, Roxana, and Ruth!! Thank you Andrea Kirschner for all your help too!

Once again, Dramascape delivers a high quality product which will see a lot of use on my virtual tabletop. The only thing I did not like was the large, gaping opening leading to the road (for a "secret" bio lab?) and the lighting effects didn't seem to make sense to me. Still, it's a good product and well worth the price point.
These Yuan-Ti Pureblood & Malison Type 1 Paper Miniatures are excellent! I've come to expect top notch work from Printable Heroes and this product does not disappoint. Keep up the great work!
I am currently running "Curse of Strahd" for my group, and running this campaign is quite an undertaking. The story and all of its characters are intricately connected in numerous and interesting ways. Understanding those connections can help DMs and their players to get the most enjoyment out of this material, but it does take a bit of work for DMs to prepare for that task.
Carl Huber has parsed most of this information and built a very nice looking and easy to understand infographic to help get the most of "Curse of Strahd." For any DM prepping to run this campaign, this is a very useful tool and I encourage you to consider picking it up.
This book is absolutely incredible. For anyone who ever loved Mage or new fans, this book is an essential purchase.
This is a fantastic game that has stood the test of time through its various iterations. The Weird West just keeps getting cooler and cooler.
This is a great product, full of story and everything that makes Deadlands an interesting setting. My gaming group easily stretched this into two gaming sessions.
This is a very handy guide for Marshals covering the game master's side of Deadlands newest iteration (well, as much as you can call it new at this point). Once again, this game brings so much story to the table it is hard not to have a good time. This particular book is a great resource.
OPP has really outdone themselves here. This is a fantastic product for any World of Darkness fan, and a welcome addition to my collection. I can't wait to introduce my players to it.
Following the example of many other successful models (which the creators of this game had a hand in as well), The 13th Age SRD is a smart business move and a valuable tool at the game table as well.
NOTE: This product is no longer missing maps. A quick email to customer service and they promptly fixed the problem.
B2 The Keep on the Borderlands is iconic to say the least. For many gamers this adventure was our first foray into the world of Dungeons & Dragons and it enthralled us with all the potential the game had to offer. Even more important the adventure has withstood the test of time and works just as well for the modern gamer as it did all those years ago. As either a one-shot game or a mini-campaign this module has enough material to provide DMs and their players with plenty of material to fill game night. Enjoy!
This is an excellent anthology of short stories developed to introduce readers to the God-Machine Chronicle which will be appearing sometime in 2013. Whether you play World of Darkness games or not this is a good collection to read and you will be very entertained.
Nineteen shorts works of fiction. Seven originally published in other works. Twelve original works created for this anthology.
"When the Sky Falls" is an event book which introduces the falling of a meteorite into a fantasy setting as well as the aftermath, or "Afterfall." The book covers three types of meteorites and how to best introduce them into your campaign world. For those interested in crunch the book also provides a plethora of new material including four new prestige classes, 12 new meteorite-related feats, 38 new spells, new magic items and monsters as well as five scenarios which can be easily integrated into any campaign.
Each section includes useful check lists which game masters can use to plan their event beforehand. These check lists ensure the game master has sorted out all the details and will get the most out of introducing this event to their story.
I found the book to be very useful and a welcome addition to my collection. Planning out major events like this can be a time consuming process and this product makes sure I get the most out of my time without missing any of the important details.
This book is a d20 product but can also be used (with some adjustments) with the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game. A lot of the material is game agnostic.
Mythic is a fairly solid system and a great tool for game masters (or groups looking to play sans the game master). It places a strong emphasis on each player taking an active role in the process of generating the ongoing narrative of each game. In spirit it resembles other storytelling games (like The Onyx Path's World of Darkness games) although it utilizes a unique approach to that style of gaming.
The GM emulator is an interesting tool as either an aide for your game master or as a "substitute" for the gamer behind the GM screen.
It's a catalog. Fans of Palladium Books will find this product interesting and somewhat useful in planning their purchases. As always Palladium Books has a mediocre track record when it comes to releasing new books on time. It is the nature of the beast so any future release dates should be taken with a large grain of salt. For those books already on the market double check their website to see if they are still in stock.
Palladium Books has been experimenting with print on demand according to Kevin Siembieda. A lot of their most recent prints have actually been PoD runs. Although this option is not available yet for individual book purchases it is a sign that Palladium is exploring their options in the ever changing game industry.
"On Writing Horror" is an excellent book for aspiring horror writers and/or those curious about the "horrific" world of writing and publishing horror. The publishing industry has changed quite a bit through the years and horror has always filled a peculiar niche which shares a lot of overlap with other genres. Elements of horror are found throughout literature making this the kind of book that any writer could benefit from reading.
Piece by piece this book examines the state of the industry, advice and tips on writing horror and how to go about getting published in a genre which runs the length and breadth of literature. Each topic is well organized, explored and suitably inspires those with interest in the genre. I found a great deal of the advice to be helpful to me as a writer in general and especially as an explorer of horror.

Schools Can Apply for State Safety GrantsFebruary 03, 2014 No comments
The application period for the second round of Secured School Safety Grants is now open and runs through Monday, March 10, 2014.
The Secured School Safety Grant program is a state grant fund that provides matching grants to school corporations, charter schools, or a coalition of school corporations and/or charter schools. These organizations can use grant funds to employ a school resource officer, conduct a threat assessment, and/or purchase equipment to restrict access to the school or expedite the notification of first responders.
"School safety is a top priority in Indiana," said Governor Mike Pence. "The Secured School Safety Grant provides schools statewide with the resources to help keep schools a safe place to foster learning and growth."
Entities with an average daily membership of at least 1,000 students can apply for grants up to $50,000 per year. Those with an average daily membership of less than 1,000 students can apply for grants up to $35,000.
Last year, more than $9 million was awarded to school corporations, charter schools, and coalitions across the state.

Thread: Swim qual
Swim qual
Hello, I leave in less than a month, April 3rd MCRD San Diego. I can easily pass my IST and am in pretty good shape. I've tried to prepare myself for almost every aspect of boot and I think I'm in pretty good shape to start. I just don't know much about the swim qual. I know it's very short and I've heard it's easy but I just don't know much about it. I'm a good swimmer but I would just like to know more specifics about it. Anything helps! Thanks.

Nearly 3,000 people filled Barcelona's Fórum Auditorium for the XVII ESADE Alumni Annual Conference, at which Inditex and IKEA were recognised for being European companies that continue to exceed revenue and profit objectives through innovation in management despite the current macroeconomic climate. In addition, Wuaki.tv was recognised as the year's best start-up.
Xavier Sanchez (Lic&MBA 97 / SEP 08), Director of ESADE Alumni, opened the conference by thanking alumni, award winners and sponsors for their support. Mr. Sanchez then give the floor to Miguel Trias (MBA 89), President of ESADE Alumni, who highlighted some of the association's activities in today's challenging political and economic climate. "We have become one of the most active networks in Europe", said Mr. Trias, "with more than 16,500 members and over 700 activities organised each year. ESADE Alumni will continue to work in three areas: supporting the professional development of ESADE graduates, fostering the entrepreneurial spirit and performing important work through Alumni Giving Back". According to Mr. Trias, some companies, such as Inditex and IKEA, have proved that it is possible to reinvent the world by making innovation a centrepiece of their business models. "The key is to engage and align people, thereby getting them involved in a major project in an environment of ethics and freedom", he noted.
The next speaker was Eugenia Bieto (Lic&MBA 73 / PhD 08), Director General of ESADE. Ms. Bieto noted that ESADE is growing and constantly improving, as evidenced by the new programmes and degrees that it will offer next year, the launch of the BBA programme taught entirely in English, the new option of taking the double BBA-Law degree in just five and a half years, and the consolidation of ESADECREAPOLIS as an innovation centre. Beyond all this, Ms. Bieto insisted that ESADE's greatness lies in its capacity to train professionals with a strong sense of ethics: "The entrepreneurs who emerge from our classrooms every year offer a clear example of our contribution to society. We know we play a key role in wealth creation, and we are committed to job creation".
Mr. Sanchez then took the floor again to introduce Javier Santiso, Academic Director of ESADEgeo and Chair of the OECD Emerging Markets Network. According to Mr. Santiso, Spain must seize the opportunity to tap into the growth currently taking place in the emerging economies of Latin America and Asia: "We must continue to invest in these countries and internationalise Spanish companies and exports with these markets in mind. The internationalisation of emerging multinationals offers yet another unique opportunity for Spain to position itself as a hub for corporate headquarters on the European continent – a bridge and springboard for Latin American and Asian multinationals in Europe". Mr. Santiso proposed that Spain become the "Latino connection" for the numerous multinationals looking to set up shop in Europe. He also stressed the growing importance of trade between emerging countries (China and Brazil, for example) as well as the presence of Asian companies at the top of the main high-tech rankings and indices.
The next speaker was Pablo Isla, President of Inditex. During his remarks, Mr. Isla reviewed the fundamentals of Inditex's business model, which in 2010 generated a turnover of €12.5 billion and a net profit of €1.732 billion. He noted that Inditex currently has 106,000 employees and 5,500 stores in 82 countries, and that in 2011 it entered several new markets, including Australia, South Africa, Taiwan, Azerbaijan and Peru. "At Inditex", Mr. Isla said, "everything revolves around our customers and our stores". By dealing with geographically proximate suppliers - 49% of Inditex's products are manufactured in Spain, Portugal and Morocco, while 14% are manufactured in other parts of Europe - the company is able to respond quickly to new fashion trends. "This proximity to production centres is clearly a hallmark of our business model", said Mr. Isla. "We also think it is important to establish long-lasting, respectful relationships with our suppliers, as it is in the interest of both parties".
Another hallmark of Inditex's business model is the fact that its central services are designed to serve its sales departments. "We are a sales-based company, one hundred percent", said Mr. Isla. "We focus on the customer, hence the importance we place on our retailers. We cannot fail in terms of implementation. We send clothing to our stores twice a week and we roll out new collections every few weeks, so we make purchasing and shipping decisions constantly. In this, we cannot fail. It is therefore essential that we have an efficient logistical system". Inditex's plans for the future, according to Mr. Isla, include increasing online sales, continuing expansion throughout China - where the company already has stores in 42 different cities - and implementing the environmental commitments set out in its 2011–2015 Sustainable Inditex Plan.
The next speaker was Mikael Ohlsson, President of IKEA. Mr. Ohlsson began by acknowledging that many of IKEA's values overlap with those of ESADE Alumni and Inditex. "Perhaps this partially explains our prestige and leadership", he said. Mr. Ohlsson briefly reviewed the history of IKEA, which has essentially led the transformation of the furniture and decoration industry. "We have shown that the rules are not written", he mused, "that there are no limits to dreaming and improving, that we can innovate, that there are imaginative ways of eliminating unnecessary costs that add no value and reducing environmental costs. The key is to have talented people and channel their skills to meet the goals we set".
IKEA's designers have played a fundamental role in driving this change in terms of strategy, innovation and integration. "Our idea is to offer a wide range of functional, well-designed home-furnishing products at prices most people can afford", explained Mr. Ohlsson. "When we create furniture and decorative items, we make sure that their transportation and storage cost us as little as possible, and that most of our packages are flat". IKEA has 1,300 suppliers in 50 different countries. It is owned by a foundation and not publicly traded. "We could say that IKEA is conservative from a financial standpoint and humanistic from a social standpoint", said Mr. Ohlsson, before noting that the company plans to invest €2.5 billion to open 14 new stores in Spain by the year 2020. The group's worldwide turnover was €23.1 billion in 2010.
Pedro Fontana (Lic&MBA 74), Chairman of the ESADE Foundation Board of Trustees, then took the stage alongside Mr. Sanchez and Mr. Trias to present the 2012 ESADE Awards to Mr. Isla and Mr. Ohlsson. Jacinto Roca (Lic&MBA 99) collected the ESADE BAN Best Start-up Award on behalf of the company he co-founded, Wuaki.tv. Mr. Roca expressed his gratitude for the award and, in an inspiring speech, encouraged conference-goers to launch their own projects. The only way out of the current crisis, he said, is to "break new ground".
Closing remarks were given by Andreu Mas-Colell, Catalan Minister of Economy and Knowledge. Despite the fact that current problems are forcing us to focus on the most immediate challenges, Mr. Mas-Colell urged the ESADE graduates in the audience to keep their sights trained on the long term, which is where the country's future lies, and to continue acting as ambassadors for their alma mater.

Everything on those walls holds a special significance. But there is one item, nailed beside his office door, which is truly something special _ a letter from legendary UCLA basketball coach John Wooden.
Wooden passed away last Friday at the age of 99. A man of great faith and wisdom, Wooden passed along some of his philosophies in a letter to Bennett dated April 8, 1995. The contents of that letter follow:
Your words of commendation were very kind and deeply appreciated. Many thanks for taking the time to express yourself.
There can be no greater joy than to learn that another feels that you have helped them in some way, especially when it was done with no thought of something in return.
"You can't do a kindness without a reward, not in silver or in gold but in joy from the Lord."
Please convey my best wishes to Don.
John Wooden
The "Don" referenced is another basketball coaching legend known for his wisdom, former Lipscomb Bisons' coach Don Meyer. Not surprisingly, Meyer and Wooden worked together on camps and exchanged philosophies.
Bennett has 11 of Wooden's books in his office. He has another one at home that he reads from on almost a daily basis. Each day he sends his players a thought for the day via a text message. Sometimes the text might contain a scripture from the Bible, but more often than not they contain a saying from Wooden.
"I guess any player I have had from junior high through college will tell you that I have always quoted John Wooden's sayings," Bennett said.
One of Wooden's books They Call Me Coach had a profound effect on Bennett's life. While taking a trip as a member of the Bisons tennis team he carried the book along to read.
"I was a senior and reading that book is what made me decide to teach and coach," Bennett said. "I was really planning on going to graduate school and then seeing what would happen after that. I had been an assistant girl's basketball coach at the high school during my four years in college. I enjoyed that, but I wasn't completely sold on it.
"Wooden decided to go into coaching after reading about Amos Alonzo Stagg, the famous football coach. Stagg considered being a minister, but he decided to make football a ministry to young men. Wooden thought that was a great thing, and it appealed to me as well. That is the first concrete impact he had on me."
In St. Louis at a coaches clinic Bennett had a brief time to meet Wooden, Bennett's wife, Jan, spent time with Wooden's wife, Nell, in meeting of the coaches' wives.
"I wrote to him another time thanking him for his influence," Bennett said. "I mentioned that my daughter, Laura, was in the eighth grade and she was going to read They Call Me Coach as part of a class assignment. He sent her some autographed pictures and an autographed copy of his `Pyramid for Success'.
"We were watching the ESPN news coverage and Laura was just boo-hooing, especially when he talked about his wife, Nell, and the love letters he left for her each day."
Bennett also admires Bobby Knight as a teacher and innovator in basketball as well, but Wooden is his favorite.
"Knight had his own way and did some good things, but I related more to Wooden's style and the way he taught people," Bennett said. "I was surprised when he sent me the letter. But he was very gracious. It was not uncommon for him to respond to letters.
"I haven't really used his approach with his high post offense or his 2-2-1 press so much. But I liked his approach to people and bringing out the best in people."
Bennett, preparing to start his 31st year as the head basketball coach for the Lady Bisons, still finds wisdom in Wooden's sayings.
"He has influenced a lot of people," Bennett said. "He has been like a mentor from afar for me."

Wellhead Protection is a pro-active approach to preventing contamination of groundwater used for drinking water supplies. Groundwater can be impacted by improper storage, handling and disposal of wastes and hazardous chemicals. If contamination does occur, it is very expensive and can take years for Redmond's water to be useable again. Cleaning groundwater can often cost 100 times more than preventing the pollution in the first place.
Wellhead Protection (WHP) is a requirement for Group A Water Systems to protect the health of people using groundwater supplies for drinking water. In October 2003 City Council adopted Wellhead Protection Ordinance No. 2180. Amendments were made to the code in May 2005 (Ordinance No. 2257), October 2005 (Ordinance No. 2269), and most recently in February of 2010 (Ordinance No. 2521). The City of Redmond WHP Program is compliant with Chapter 246-290 of the Washington Administrative Code (WAC) and, therefore, the federal Safe Drinking Water Act.
Redmond's Wellhead Protection Program staff evaluate and mitigate risks to groundwater by:
Wellhead Protection Zones Map
The hydrologic cycle is how water evaporates, gathers in clouds and rains or snows onto the land. After it rains or the snow melts the water then either evaporates, is used up by the plants, runs off to streams, lakes, or the ocean, or infiltrates into the soil. Some of this infiltration will reach the underground water table and will recharge the aquifer. Recharge can also carry contaminants into groundwater from the land surface. Therefore, recharge is at the center of preventing pollution and maintaining supply both for drinking water and for freshwater habitats.
About one third of Redmond's drinking water supply comes from a shallow groundwater aquifer located beneath City Center and extending east towards Novelty and Union Hill. In some places, you only have to drill 5 feet below ground surface before reaching groundwater. Our aquifer does not have a confining layer (a layer of material that impedes or prevents infiltration) to prevent potential adverse impacts from the surface from infiltrating.
Redmond operates five shallow municipal wells that pump between 3 and 4 million gallons of clean groundwater from the aquifer daily. This water is then delivered to homes and businesses in Redmond. Because of this valuable resource, Redmond's water rates are among the lowest on the Eastside.
A body of rock that is sufficiently permeable to conduct groundwater and to yield economically significant quantities of water to wells and springs.
A body of impermeable or distinctly less permeable material stratigraphically adjacent to one or more aquifers.
Critical aquifer recharge areas are those areas with a critical recharging effect on aquifers used for potable water (area in which water reaches the zone of saturation by surface infiltration).
Water in a saturated zone or stratum beneath the surface of the land or below a surface water body.
A water system in Washington State which meets the federal definition of a public water system. This is a water system with ten or more connections, or which serves an average of twenty-five or more persons per day for sixty or more days within a calendar year. WAC 246-290-020.
The movement of water into soil or porous rock.
The physical structure, facility, or device at the land surface from or through which ground water flows or is pumped from water-bearing formations.
Land areas delineated by the City for purposes of safeguarding groundwaters that supply, or potentially supply, drinking water to wells operated by the City.

Davidson's policy is to refund 100 percent of tuition or room rent if a student withdraws before the tenth day of classes. Otherwise, no refund of tuition or room rent will be made. Fees for meals are refunded on a pro-rata basis as determined by the date of withdrawal.
A student generally may receive a distribution of a credit balance from his/her account only once during each semester. After the conclusion of the late add/drop period, students may request a refund via Banner Self-Service. Refunds will be issued on Fridays, provided that the online request is received by 5 p.m. the previous Friday. Refunds for Federal Title IV recipients are made in accordance with the refund policy specified by the U. S. Department of Education.
In accordance with federal law, if a student who is a recipient of Title IV grant and/or loan funds (Federal Pell Grant, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant, Federal Stafford Loan, Federal PLUS Loan) withdraws during a payment period, Davidson College must determine the amount of Title IV funds the student has earned. That amount is determined by a formula established by federal law.
If a student has received less Title IV funds than the student has earned, the student may receive the additional earned funds. If the student has received more assistance than he or she has earned, the excess funds must be returned.
If the student withdraws before completing 60 percent of the payment period, the amount of assistance that a student has earned is determined on a pro-rata basis. For example, if a student completes 30 percent of the payment period, the student has earned 30 percent of the assistance he or she originally was scheduled to receive. Once a student completes more than 60 percent of the payment period, the student has earned all of the assistance.
If a student has received excess funds, Davidson College must return a portion of those funds equal to the lesser of
Unearned Title IV funds returned by the institution and/or student must be returned in the following order: Unsubsidized Federal Stafford loans, Subsidized Federal Stafford loans, Federal Perkins loans, Federal PLUS loans received on behalf of the student, Federal Pell Grants, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants, other grant or loan assistance authorized by Title IV.
Detailed rules and laws related to these calculations are available upon request from the Office of Admission and Financial Aid.
