Secrets of the Silk Road @ Bowers Museum
I think the last time I was at Bowers Museum, Jimmy Carter was President. I didn't remember much, except that I really didn't need to go there again. Well attitudes change over three decades, especially when my girlfriend suggested a visit. The big show is the Secrets of the Silk Road.
First of all, Bowers Museum impressed me. It's very unSanta Ana like. It's clean, and the collections on display are very interesting. Just some of the artwork leading up to the entrance impressed me.
The displays inside were great. The only bummer is that no photography is allowed at all inside the silk road exhibit, but the mummies are very impressive. I believe the Docent told us that these are the oldest and most well-preserved mummies in the world. The woman, named Serene, is 4000 years old. It's a little pricey for a quick spin through the museum. Make sure you take your time and take your camera! There are many works of art and exhibits that are worth snapping!
There is a deal for the first Sunday of the month, which is free entrance to the museum. I spent $76 for the four of us, but it was well worth it. You can find the info for the free first Sunday here.
You don't have to be an archaeological enthusiast to enjoy the mummies. They were amazing and they kept our interest wrapped up, sotospeak.

Court assumes power to try case
Panicky lawyers, litigants and officials ran out of the court room, screaming as scores of thugs hurled missiles at them.
Some ran into their offices and shut their doors; others hid under tables, away from the rampaging thugs.
The police, apparently overwhelmed by the violence, looked helpless as windows were smashed and furniture broken.
That was the scene yesterday at the High Court in Ado-Ekiti, the Ekiti State capital, where Mr. Justice Isaac Ogunyemi ruled that the court had jurisdiction to hear the integrity case against Mr. Ayodele Fayose, the governor-elect and candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the June 21 election.
The hoodlums yanked off branches of a tree within the court premises to lash perceived opposition figures at the proceedings, which had got half-way before Mr. Justice Ogunyemi sought a brief break to resume sitting at noon.
The hoodlums, some of whom had earlier engaged the security officials in the courtroom in arguments over what they saw as impartiality, said the security agents barred their party men from entering the courtroom and sitting down while the hearing lasted but allowed the opposition.
The argument soon snowballed into full scale confrontation. People were shouting and people perceived to be obstructing the thugs' aspirations were dragged on the courtroom's floor and dealt blows, using all manner of objects.
Judges, Senior Advocates of Nigeria (SANs), lawyers, journalists, court officials and magistrates ran for dear lives, hiding in offices, court registries, under chairs, tables, other places and objects which could serve as temporary hideouts, as the hoodlums assaulted defenceless people.
As thugs went from office to office to seek out perceived opposition members who they dealt with without resraint, the police, who thinned both in number and significance, watched helplessly. Shots were fired by those no one could ascertain but these could not deter the rampaging band who had reduced the court rooms to a rendezvous of mayhem and unrest.
Mr. Justice Ogunyemi became a target of the hoodlums, who openly condemned his ruling.
They sang songs in Yoruba to condemn the said ruling and threatened to deal with him (Mr. Justice Ogunyemi) if accessible. The intervention of a special group of about six officers from the Riot Squad however assured a safe escape for Mr. Justice Ogunyemi, who all along had been holed up in his office. His (Mr. Justice Ogunyemi's) escape around 12:55 pm effectively halted proceedings for the day.
Mr. Justice Ogunyemi had declared that he had jurisdiction to entertain the cases of the Citizens Popular Party (CPP) and that of Adeniyi Ajakaye and others, which challenged the eligibility of Mr. Ayo Fayose to contest the June 21 election.
In a ruling on Fayose's and PDP's preliminary objection, Mr. Justice Ogunyemi maintained that the respondent had not judiciously discharged the responsibility under the law of evidence to furnish the court with sufficient evidence upon which the relief sought by the defendant applicant could be based.
Mr. Justice Ogunyemi also declared both the CPP and the PDP as non juristic persons who could not sue or be sued. He, however, submitted that striking out the names of the second claimant and second defendant did not affect the relief sought by the claimant on eligibility pursuant to Order 13, Rule 16 (1) of the High Court Civil Procedure Rules of Ekiti State.
He also dismissed the application of the respondent, which challenged his ruling of June 6 in an ex-parte application on the abridgment of time within which the respondent could file his reply, declaring that the said order the defendant sought to set aside was not obtained fraudulently as contended by the defendants.
Mr. Justice Ogunyemi dismissed PDP's application, saying the court cannot set aside its June 6 ruling and that the time frame had been overtaken by events, which he (Justice Ogunyemi) maintained had rendered the whole exercise a mere academic exercise.
The Ekiti State government condemned the attack on judges, lawyers , litigants and workers.
The government, which viewed the invasion of the hoodlums believed to be supporters of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as "an unwarranted desecration of the temple of justice", also blamed the escalation of the crisis on the nonchalant attitude displayed by policemen at the court premises.
The government, in a statement said it amounted to a barbaric act of epic proportion for a group of people to gang up to invade a court in a bid to avert hearing in a case brought for determination before a judge.
This attempt to subvert the rule of law and throw the Ekiti into a state of confusion and violence is most condemnable.
It urged security agencies to ensure that the perpetrators of the heinous act are brought to book.
The government said it would do everything possible to ensure that the full weight of the law is meted out to anyone found perpetrating violence in the state just as it assured members of the public of adequate security for their lives and properties.

Extra Info
Story & Information -
| A Certain Magical Index is set in Academy City, a technologically advanced academic city located at western Tokyo which studies scientifically advanced superhuman students with powers, but is also set in a world where magic is real. Tōma Kamijō is a student in Academy City whose right hand, the Imagine Breaker, has the ability to negate any supernatural powers, but also his own luck. One day he finds a young girl hanging on his balcony railing named Index. She is a nun from Necessarius, a secret magic branch of the Church of England, and her mind has been implanted with the Index Librorum Prohibitorum—103,000 forbidden magical books the Church has removed from circulation. His encounter with her leads him to meet others from the secret world of science and magic and an adventure with his friends where science and magic collide. Tōma's unusual power places him at the center of conflicts relating magicians and science-based espers in Academy City. As Tōma tries to help and protect his friends, he learns the people he knows are not as they appear and begins to attract the attention of magicians and espers alike as they try to unravel the secrets of Academy City and Index.
The side-story, A Certain Scientific Railgun, focuses on Mikoto Misaka, an electromaster who is the third most powerful of the seven Level 5 espers in Academy City. Set before and during the events of the novels, the manga tells the adventures of Mikoto and her friends during that time period from their point of view.

Body, Emotions and the Arts: Theme of LLinE 4/2013
Introducing InfoNet Newsletter 7/2013: LLinE on Body, Emotions and the Arts
This issue of InfoNet Newsletter is dedicated to the recently published issue of the LLinE web magazine. The theme of the issue is body, arts and emotions. InfoNet correspondents have contributed with articles to this issue.
Learning is as much anchored into our bodily and emotional experiences as it is to our intellect. The arts are a natural addition to this equation of body and emotions. In LLine no 4/2013 this topic is covered in different ways, and InfoNet Newsletter will especially like to draw attention to these three articles.
Jim Soulsby: The hand that stopped trembling
In a home for retired people Jack caused problems because he has some element of tremors in his hand coordination. But during training provided by an arts organisation for staff and residents together it was revealed that Jack had no hand tremors at all when holding a paint brush.
If the activity had excluded the staff – like many similar activities in residential homes – this fact may well have gone unreported. Now, Jack is no longer seen as a burden and source of workload but as an individual with an artistic flair which seemed to overcome his disability.
Alexis Kokkos: Transforming learning through art
The article presents the reasons why the role of emotions as well as the use of art in learning is important. Next, the method "Transformative Learning through Aesthetic Experience" is presented. The method aims to provide adult educators with guidelines and tools which might enable them to design art-based training modules which would help them develop learners' creativity and critical mode of thinking.
Eeva Anttila: Book Review: Focusing on the body and the senses
"It is exciting to find out that not only dancers and arts educators advocate embodied learning. This new collection, edited by Mira-Lisa Katz, opens wide horizons into the many possibilities that embodied pedagogies offer for learners of any age."
So writes Eeva Anttila in her review of Mira-Lisa Katz (Ed.): Moving Ideas: Multimodality and Embodied Learning in Communities and Schools.

Dated today, a Lost Dungeons of Norrath review reaches a final 8.5 score thanks to the classic underground romps that enthralled the writer, who finishes up as follows:
LDoN, as an expansion, is a success in my book. It brought back something sorely missing from Everquest in the form of dungeon crawling. Characters that have grown up in wide-open spaces such as Dreadlands, Plane of Nightmare, Dawnshroud Peaks, etc might feel a little claustrophobic coming into the LDoN dungeons. But oh what fun there is to be had if you give it a chance. LDoN allows almost everyone who plays Everquest to find some new places to hunt, explore, adventure with, and, overall, have a good time doing it. Experience grinding will always be part of Everquest. But LDoN will allow you to set that aside when you get tired or bored with that aspect and allow you to re-discover that aspect of dungeon crawling you might have forgotten. What is around that corner? Is that a trap? Better have succor up just in case. You never know what is right around the corner with LDoN.
Released to the public nearly two weeks ago, EverQuest: Lost Dungeons of Norrath provides a form of private instancing so players can join in controlled parties to complete linear quests.

All but two of 100 anti-abortion protesters arrested during a demonstration in Fort Lauderdale in November pleaded, or promised to plead, no contest to trespassing charges on Tuesday.
The arrangement is a compromise.
Each protester paid a fee of $50 for police expenses in arresting them and agreed to perform 10 hours of community service on a cleanup project. Officials said the fees will cover the $3,900 the arrests cost the city.
In return, the protesters will have no criminal records.
Those arrested were among about 300 activists who had blocked the entrance to Sigma Women's Center, an obstetric and gynecological clinic on East Commercial Boulevard and one of 31 offering abortions in Broward County.
Anti-abortion leaders, meanwhile, said they avoided criminal charges and fines for what they considered to be a legal protest.
"It's a plea of convenience," said city prosecutor Scott Walker. "It's fair."
"We wanted to do something that would protect everyone involved in the protest and protect the integrity of the movement," said the Rev. Patrick Mahoney, head of Rescue South Florida, the group that organized the protest.
Of the 100 protesters, Mahoney said 78 pleaded no contest on Tuesday and 20 more agreed to enter pleas by the end of the week.
Two men declined the plea offer and will challenge the charges in court.
The typical fine for trespassing is $100 without community service.

Patients with leaky heart values and other life-threatening medical conditions put their lives and trust in their doctors' hands when they are wheeled into the surgery room. They already know the risks, they've already read the fine print and signed on the dotted lines of the obligatory hospital forms, and they've already given their informed consent… or have they?
The Chicago Tribune recently ran a series of alarming articles about a specific medical device which was the subject of a study on new annuloplasty rings. Myxo ETlogix, invented by Northwestern's "world-class" heart surgeon, Dr. Patrick McCarthy, was implanted into Northwestern Memorial Hospital's patients' hearts before it was FDA approved… by Dr. McCarthy himself. Tribune reporters Deborah L. Shelton and Jason Grotto have opened Chicago patients and their families eyes to a potentially life-threatening wrongdoing on the part of Chicago's doctors, one of its leading hospitals, and a major medical device company called Edwards Lifesciences.
Tribune reporters introduced us to Antonitsa Vlahoulis of Niles, Illinois. She, among 700+ other patients, learned the full truth about the medical device permanently stitched into her heart a little too late. After she was released from the hospital from receiving leaky heart valve surgery, she received a warranty card in the mail regarding the device her surgeon chose to implant. It was his creation: McCarthy Annuplasty Ring (now Myxo ETlogix). This product wasn't one of the options Dr. McCarthy had discussed giving her pre-surgery and, more shockingly, it wasn't on the FDA's list of approved devices. In fact, when Vlahoulis received the implant, it was still being studied. She did not give her informed consent to receive the "experimental" product, and a few years later, suffered permanent injuries due to the device.
We also read Maureen Obermeier's story from the Chicago Tribune article series covering this story. She received a Myxo ETlogix during her 2006 heart surgery, and only learned she had the device implanted in her when her doctor forwarded her information about it from a cardiology journal.
"As inventor of the ring," Obermeier said, "McCarthy had a financial and professional conflict of interest that gave him incentives to select it over others."
McCarthy reported in a the Tribune's interview that he was unaware his device had yet to be approved by the FDA when he was implanting them into patients' hearts. The Tribune reported that McCarthy, who does about 150 valve surgeries a year, said that at the time of the controversy, "he had no knowledge of the rules governing medical devices and that he relies on industry and the FDA to ensure the ones he uses are safe and effective." In short, he said: "There are no guideposts for us. You don't learn about this stuff in med school." Dr. McCarthy did admit to the Tribune that he had stopped telling patients some of the heart rings he uses were his inventions because most didn't seem interested in such details.
So who's the main culprit here? The doctors and hospitals who rely on the manufacturer's word regarding the products they are purchasing being FDA approved? Or the manufacturers themselves? Perhaps both. California-based Edwards Lifesciences did not submit McCarthy's heart rings to the FDA for review before McCarthy was given the green light. The company argued (incorrectly) that it wasn't required to do so, reports the Tribune. While the FDA investigation found that Edwards Lifesciences should have sought clearance before allowing surgeons to use the heart devices, it didn't take action against the company due to its "good faith effort to follow the law."
Lest us not forget the procedure that's involved in implanting these controversial devices: patients' "chests are opened, their hearts are stopped and the life-sustaining device is stitched into the valve while a heart-lung bypass machine keeps them alive." These patients can't exactly bring in their warranty card after the fact and request a refund or exchange.
So who should we as consumers of products like these trust? The FDA who does seemingly non-thorough investigations of such important, life-saving devices? The manufacturer itself whose "driven to help patients and develop innovative technologies that save and enhance lives" and just happens to make billions in the industry doing so? Or should we trust the doctors who receive royalty checks from their own patented creations that they choose over other devices to implant in their patients? The surgeon who co-authored the study of Myxo ETlogix, Dr. Rajamannan, believed the device was experimental at the time the surgeries took place. However, in January 2009, Northwestern hospital's president and CEO, Dean Harrison, sent a letter to Vlahoulis and other patients who had received the Myxo ring stating that "we do not consider this device to be experimental," reports the Tribune.
The Tribune reporters who covered this cautionary tale tell us that "soon, medical device companies may be required to disclose more information about payments they make to doctors. The Physician Payments Sunshine Act was passed last year, and Congress, the FDA and the industry are wrangling over how to implement it." Hopefully other actions will be taken from those in power who can make a difference in the medical community. At the end of the day, it's not about blame-shifting and pointing fingers, it's about righting a wrong and making the medical industry safer for patients.

Movie News: Line Up for the First Official GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY Image
Considering that GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY is now a mere 8 months away, it's surprising we haven't seen more advance publicity for it. It's not that we particularly want this stuff so early, it's that you'd think Marvel Studios would be doing everything within their power to raise public awareness, because the mass public – who don't know these space adventurers from Adam – are the ones whose cash really matters. GOTG is Marvel Studios' biggest risk to date, and we'll be doing everything we can to spread the word on one of our most eagerly awaited flicks of the year, but if general audiences aren't given the right amount of time to acclimatize themselves to the notion of a gun-toting raccoon and a talking tree, this could prove a hard sell.
Anyhoo, here's what you really clicked on this article for, the very first official image. Presenting: Zoe Saldana as Gamora, Chris Pratt as Peter Quill aka Star-Lord, Bradley Cooper (and a bazillion CG wizards) as Rocket Raccoon, Dave Bautista as Drax the Destroyer and Vin Diesel as Groot…
Official Synopsis:
From Marvel, the studio that brought you the global blockbuster franchise of Iron Man, Thor, Captain America and The Avengers, comes a new team--the Guardians of the Galaxy. An action-packed, epic space adventure, Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy expands the Marvel Cinematic Universe into the cosmos, where brash adventurer Peter Quill finds himself the object of an unrelenting bounty hunt after stealing a mysterious orb coveted by Ronan, a powerful villain with ambitions that threaten the entire universe. To evade the ever-persistent Ronan, Quill is forced into an uneasy truce with a quartet of disparate misfits -Rocket, a gun-toting raccoon, Groot, a tree-like humanoid, the deadly and enigmatic Gamora and the revenge-driven Drax the Destroyer. But when Peter discovers the true power of the orb and the menace it poses to the cosmos, he must do his best to rally his ragtag rivals for a last, desperate stand--with the galaxy's fate in the balance.
GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY opens August 1st.

Cool Stuff: Ken Taylor's 'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2' Mondo Print Is a Timed Edition
Posted on Monday, July 24th, 2017 by Ethan Anderton
San Diego Comic-Con is officially over and all the attendees are back home with plenty more things than they came to the convention with. Some lucky attendees with enough time to wait in line for an extended period of time went home with the latest artwork from Mondo. Sadly, that means there's a lot of great artwork that fans stuck at home won't be able to get their hands on, but there is at least one offering you can take advantage of outside of the massive convention.
Mondo debuted a new Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 print at SDCC by artist Ken Taylor, and while one of the editions of that print was only available at their booth, there is a timed edition that you can get your hands on as long as you purchase it in the next few days. Check out the Ken Taylor Guardians of the Galaxy 2 print below and find out how to get one. Read More »

Ness Notes
(Sweet 16 by the numbers)
Filling out one's brackets is not as easy as it looks, as many found out this past weekend in the NCAA tournament's opening two rounds.
U Conn and Georgia Tech, last year's finalists, were both eliminated this year in the second round. While all four No. 1 seeds made it through the first round unscathed (now 84-0 in the first round since seeding began in 1985), the margin of victory by the four teams was just 15.5 PPG. That's the lowest since the top-four seeds won by an average of 15.3 PPG in 1996 (lowest margin of victory for No. 1 seeds all-time was 10.5 PPG in 1989).
Top seeds went just 1-3 ATS in the first round with North Carolina getting the lone point spread cover when the Tar Heels beat Oakland by 28 points, covering a closing line of 27 1/2-points! No. 1 seeds did better in the second round with Washington beating Pacific by 18 and North Carolina beating Iowa St by 27 (both covered easily). Illinois beat Nevada by 12, laying 11 1/2-points and Duke beat Mississippi St by eight, laying 8 1/2-points.
That gives No. 1 seeds a combined 4-4 ATS mark through two rounds as they all move on to the Sweet 16. In should be noted that since seeding began in 1979, all four No. 1 seeds have NEVER made it through to the Final 4. In fact, three No. 1 seeds have reached the Final 4 just three times, in 1993, 1997 and 1999!
Conversely, 1980 was the only year in which not a single No.1 seed reached the Final 4. Louisville, a No. 2 seed and the eventual national champion, was joined in that year's Final 4 by fifth-seed Iowa, sixth-seeded Purdue and eighth-seeded UCLA. Adding up the seeding of those four teams gives you a total of 21.
Surprisingly, that's NOT the highest total of any Final 4! That came in the Final 4 of 2000, when Michigan St (the lone No. 1 seed) was joined by Florida (a No. 5) and two No. 8 seeds, North Carolina and Wisconsin (for a total of 22). The lowest combined total of the seeds for a Final 4 came in 1993, when three No. 1 seeds (North Carolina, Kentucky and Michigan) were joined by Kansas (a No. 2 seed), adding up to five!
While all four No. 1 seeds made it through the first two rounds, teams seeded two through four fared VERY poorly!
Just two No. 2 seeds made it to the Sweet 16 (Okla St and Kentucky), as U Conn (defending champs) and Wake Forest (now an PATHETIC 3-16 ATS since 1995 in the NCAA tournament!) both lost in the second round. Only one No. 3 seed made it through last weekend (Arizona), as Kansas lost in the first round to Bucknell (first-ever win for a Patriot League school!), while Gonzaga and Oklahoma lost second round games.
Just ONE No.4 seed made it to the Sweet 16 and that was Louisville. Interestingly, the Cardinals finished the year ranked No. 4 in the AP poll, yet received just a No. 4 seeding. They became the first team to finish a regular season ranked in the AP's top-five and NOT receive either a No. 1 or a No. 2 seed in 25 years!
As for the other No. 4 seeds, Syracuse (a hot pick to reach the Final 4!) lost in the first round to Vermont, while Boston College and Florida lost second round games.
The other half of this year's Sweet 16 is comprised of two No. 5 seeds, three No. 6 seeds, a No. 7 seed, a No. 10 seed and a No. 12 seed. For the record, NO No. 5 seed has ever won the tournament, with only Iowa in 1980, Miss St in 1996, Florida in 2000 and Indiana in 2002 reaching the Final 4 as five-seeds. Florida (2000) and Indiana (2002) both made the title game but lost.
This year's No. 5 seeds are Villanova (celebrating the 20th anniversary of its remarkable upset of Georgetown in 1985!) and Michigan St. 'Nova however, just lost its best player (Curtis Sumpter) to an injury, and it's highly unlikely to be deja vu all over again as the Wildcats meet North Carolina next, a team that's leading the tournament with an average of 94 PPG. As for Mich St, the Spartans have no real stars but they are deep. Duke, 0-2 ATS in this year's tourney so far, has Redick, Ewing and Shelden Williams but little depth!
THREE No. 6 seeds have made it to the Sweet 16. Bob Knight's Texas Tech team, Wisconsin and Utah. A No. 6 seed hasn't reached the Final 4 since 1992 but two MEMORABLE No. 6 seeds have won national titles. In 1983, Jim Valvano's NC St Wolfpack were six-seeds when they upset Houston and in 1988, the Danny Manning-led Kansas Jayhawks (coached by Larry Brown), were a No. 6 seed when they won the title by beating Oklahoma.
Knight tied Dean Smith this year by making his 27th all-time tournament appearance. It is however, just his first Sweet 16 appearance since 1994. Wisconsin is arguably the least impressive team to advance so far, edging No. Iowa 57-52 in the first round and Bucknell 71-62 (much closer!) in the second. The Badgers made a Final 4 appearance as recently as 2000 but prior to that, had not made a Final 4 since winning their only national title in 1941! Utah, with maybe the nation's best big in Andrew Bogut, is the third No. 6 to advance this far.
Tech meets the lone No. 7 seed remaining in the tournament, West Virginia. No seven-seed has ever won the title and in fact, just Virginia in 1984, has ever advanced as far as the Final 4 (lost in the semis). Wisconsin faces NC St (a 10-seed) and these two match-ups insure that at least two "Cinderella teams" will reach the Elite 8! Utah gets its nemesis Kentucky on Friday. In SIX of their last 11 NCAA appearances, the Utes have run into the Wildcats. In the previous five meetings they are 0-5, with the average margin of defeat being 18.8 PPG!
NC St, a No. 10 seed is trying to make some history. No 10-seed has ever won the tournament or for that matter, even gotten as far as the Final 4! NC St received an at-large bid despite its 7-9 regular season mark in the ACC. The Wolfpack joined Iowa (7-9 in the Big-10), as the 27th and 28th teams in NCAA history to receive at-large bids, despite losing records in their respective conferences. While Iowa lost in the opening round to Cincinnati, NC St has beaten Charlotte and the defending champs, U Conn.
NC St becomes just the FIFTH at-large team with a losing conference record to make it as far as the Sweet 16. In 1987 LSU (8-10 in the SEC that year) advanced to the Regional Final where the Tigers lost to Indiana 77-76 (remember Bobby Knight's attack on the telephone?) and in 1984, Virginia (7-9 in the ACC) made it to the Final 4 where the Cavs lost to Houston in the semis, 49-47 (OT).
The biggest surviving underdog (at least according to the seeds) is Wisconsin-Milwaukee. A No. 12 seed, the Panthers upset Alabama and then Boston College in just the school's second-ever NCAA appearance, to reach this year's Sweet 16. While the team's upset of No.5 seed Alabama was the 16th time in 17 years that a No. 12 seed has beaten a No. 5 seed, 12-seeds have not traditionally had great success after that initial upset.
The Panthers' win over Boston College gave No. 12 seeds a 14-13 record in second round games but a win over Illinois on Thursday, the nation's top-ranked team, would be quite a feat. Of the 13 previous No. 12 seeds that have reached the Sweet 16, ONLY Missouri in 2002 was able to advance! The Tigers beat UCLA 82-73 that year before losing in the Regional Finals to Oklahoma, 81-75.
COACHING NOTE...While much is being made of Coach K passing Dean Smith's record of all-time wins in the tournament (with good reason), it should also be noted that Rick Pitino is just two wins away from HISTORY. Pitino is already one of just four head coaches to lead four different schools into the tournament (in his case, Boston U, Providence, Kentucky and Louisville). He's also one of 11 coaches that have led two different schools to the Final 4 (Providence and Kentucky) and is the ONLY one with a chance to make it THREE different schools, if he can get Louisville past Washington and the winner of Texas Tech-West Va!
FINAL THOUGHT...Many felt that Illinois losing in its final regular season game at Ohio St was 'good' for the team. The theory being that NO team had won the national title with a perfect record since Bob Knight's 1976 Indiana team finished 32-0. While that may 'sound good', I'm not so sure?
In NCAA history, 17 teams have entered the tournament undefeated. While Knight's team was the last one to win it all, SEVEN of those undefeated 17 teams have gone on to capture the title (41.2 percent).
Illinois became the 54th team in NCAA history this year, to enter the tournament with one loss. The last time a one-loss team won the title was back in 1974. NC St won it all that year and 19 one-loss teams have tried since, including St Joe's and Stanford just last year. NONE have won the title, with just three (UNLV in 1987, U Mass in 1996 and Duke in 1999) even making the Final 4. Overall, SIX of the previous 53 one-loss teams have captured the title, or 11.3 percent!
I was NEVER too good in math but isn't 41.2 percent better than 11.3 percent?

I guess it's finally time to jump on the Fall bandwagon guys! The temperatures here are still not fitting for wool coats and layers upon layers but I think we can get away with long sleeves and knits…sort of. I decided to step into my Fall wardrobe with a staple I have loved ever since I was an awkward 15 year old girl – The Sweater Dress. I remember buying my first sweater dress ever, a mustard yellow cap sleeve style from Forever 21. It's safe to say it was ill fitting on my just-hit-puberty-body but I absolutely adored that piece! I literally wore everyday that Fall.
I've definitely learned a thing or two about fashion over the years and am happy to see my style evolution from that mustard yellow piece to this gorgeous grey number by Cosette. I've come to really appreciate quality and flare with clothing. I can instantly spot a piece that is special and…different. I guess that comes from years of sifting through vintage racks. I love this piece in particular because it combines contradictory textures: a chunky knit with a dainty pleated under skirt. It's not your average mass produced sweater dress. This is something I would wear on a late September afternoon on the Champs-Elysees.
Happy Monday Loves!
I hope you have a splendid week.

Organize ways to understand file formats without the use of a CD burner
Windows 8.1 / Windows 8 / Windows 7 / Windows Vista / Windows XP
DAEMON Tools is a Windows program that creates virtual devices and mounts images.
DAEMON Tools is a powerful program for Windows that lets you create and manage virtual devices. A virtual device is, for instance, a virtual drive that the OS recognizes as a physical device but is actually an interface pointing to a file on another device. These files are often called images, and they feature a directory and a collection of files just like a BD, DVD, or CD does.
DAEMON Tools doesn't stop at reading image files. It lets you create them either by copying a disc or making them manually. You can edit images, and you can even use this program to burn images to disc via your Blu-ray, DVD or CD writer.
You can create, tweak, and discard virtual devices as needed. You can also maintain virtual devices so that they load with Windows and are available to you at all times. DAEMON Tools is even able to emulate various protection mechanisms. Therefore, if a CD you want to copy has copy protection, you simply copy everything as is, and Windows will be unaware that the image isn't an actual physical disc.
It's worth mentioning that these features don't exist just to steal software. In fact, if you wanted to steal a game or whatnot, there are easier and faster ways to do it than with DAEMON Tools. Rather, this is a powerful tool for people who actually own the software. Let's say you own a disc that can no longer be replaced. Rather than risk damage to the disc, you burn an image of it and access that instead.
There's not a lot to complain about when it comes to DAEMON Tools. One issue is that the UI isn't standard to Windows and it sticks out like a sore thumb. It isn't a bad UI and whether this deviation bothers you comes down to personal preference. Additionally, most users usually won't access DAEMON Tools via the central UI but rather through context menus, such as right-clicking a virtual drive in the system tray in order to mount or dismount an image.
With Daemon Tools, users can create and manage disc images of physical media. These "virtual discs" are accessed directly from your hard drive and run as if mounted on a standard disc drive.
Daemon Tools is invaluabe for those who do not have a disc drive or who want to emulate more drives on their computers. The program can emulate all kinds of DVD, CD, and Blu-ray media, creating image files that are stored on a hard drive just like any other file format. The user can select one of these files, typically created as an ISO or MDS format, and easily mount it as a virtual drive with this handy disc utility. They can then unmount the file when finished. You can keep an entire library of commonly used disc images on a hard drive as long as your hard drive has ample free space.
The distinctive name for the utility, Daemon is actually an acronym that stands for Disk And Execution Monitor Tools. While creating and mounting images of physical media is the primary function of the tool, there are a number of advanced features that can be accessed to edit and organize images. The user-friendly interface ensures that these additional functions are accessed with the click of a button. You can edit the title of the image, password protect it for an extra layer of security, or compress what is often a huge file size to something more manageable on your small hard drive. There are even options to split the image into user-defined chunks.
Convenience has always been the driving force behind Daemon Tools. Instead of having a work surface covered in DVDs, you can create and manage disc images of your most commonly used physical media, while cleaning up your desk and quickly mounting a virtual disc at any time. You are freed from constantly inserting and ejecting discs. Daemon Tools also possesses a powerful user interface that delivers superb functionality for any level of user.
The handy disc utility comes in several flavors, focusing either on simplicity of use or versatility through the addition of advanced features. For example, the Lite version enables the creation of simple disc images, while the Pro Advanced edition comes with all of the comprehensive management and customization utilities required to make Daemon Tools a contender for a top drive imaging application.
Ultimately, Daemon Tools is an impressive combination of functionality and simplicity. It is the standard tool for disc imaging.
Excellent virtual CD, DVD, Blu-ray and HD-DVD burner
Perform various tasks related to discs including burning and editing
Manage disc images as if they were real CDs and DVDs

The financial bubble of the last decade created the housing bubble and along with it the financial crisis with its ramifications along all sectors of the economy and the world at large. Specifically in the US, already overextended consumers had an unprecedented negative wealth effect to contend with both from a reduction in the value of more liquid assets such as stock holdings but more importantly the collapse in the value of their homes to such a level that more than 50% of all mortgage holders were effectively underwater on what constitutes most probably their biggest lifetime investment. In other words, if they were to liquidate at any time and sell their home they would be short on the amount owed to the bank. Interestingly, most (close to 85%) of these negative equity mortgages were being serviced and non delinquent indicating that owners were willing to adhere to mortgage payments on expectation ( I would contend) of an improvement in their home values.
More importantly however, is what this has meant to the underlying level of demand in the economy and what the government should have done to reinvigorate it. Understandably the FED and government gave precedence to the stability of its financial system as its first and foremost priority for without a solvent banking sector the US and the world for that matter would have experienced an apocalyptic depression. All emphasis then on the financial system which was successfully revamped and returned to health with the FED'S dramatic actions including aggressive QE, still with us today. It was hoped that the salvation of the money lending institutions would also have secured the necessary lending to households and businesses to remobilise the economy; to no avail. On the one hand the banks were in no mood to expand their balance sheet in an environment of conservative restructuring and a consumer already underwater and on the other a consumer faced with negative equity in a defensive mode with a focused purpose, to increase the savings rate and deleverage. It is evident that in such a setting unless balance sheet restructuring takes hold final demand will at best be weak.
How was inequality exacerbated from the above phenomenon? Saving stockholders at the expense of debtors clearly transferred wealth from debtors to creditors. The US population was asked to bailout the financial system by dramatically expanding the US's budget deficit and the FED'S balance sheet reinvigorating both bond and stock prices but without a commensurate knock on effect on the weakest and largest part of the population. This has meant that the ultimate driver of demand the consumer did not receive any direct help to a healthier balance sheet. He was left to the unforgiving effects of the market forces of adjustment. In other words, the consumer would only return to his usual habits if any or all of the following could take place & in such a magnitude so as to substantially improve his balance sheet and its prospects: A rise in home values, debt deleveraging and forgiveness with its accompanying increase in the savings rate, world growth that would induce cash rich companies to substantially increase investment and employment to meet this growth in world demand.
Will reversing this inequality by pursuing policies aimed at creating the aforementioned conditions drive demand and ultimately consumption? Without doubt the liquidity effect aptly described by Paul Krugman is likely to play an important catalyst. I would in fact call it a wealth effect for it is households feeling good about returning to positive equity that should induce them to spend part of this windfall. This would in turn provide impetus to the cash rich companies to increase the utilisation of their existing factors of production and perhaps lead them to increased investment. The economic textbooks should then take over through the multiplier momentum.
The above deals of course with wealth and not income inequality a more complex issue worth discussing in a different blog.

When we first came up with IGN Insider, we took a long look at all of our existing IGN channels to find topics and areas we don't already cover; we searched for content that would be interesting to die-hard gamers and IGN fans alike. After thinking about issues that frustrate us, we discovered that there is one major trend that has emerged since the latest wave of gaming consoles sprang to life: developers frequently release their titles across multiple consoles. The editors at IGN try to do their best to write about each gaming system and objectively review all the major titles, but there is one thing we don't often do: compare games across platforms. Is Madden 2004 still worth a purchase on GameCube, or does the controller hinder the experience? Is Need for Speed: Underground just as thrilling on PlayStation 2 as it is on the often more robust GameCube and Xbox platforms?
If you're at a conflict every time a game debuts on multiple platforms, this feature is for you. The Head-to-Head series of articles cuts through all the different takes the editors have on games, compares the facts, and presents you with one uniform opinion on all the versions.
About Our Head-to-Head Comparison
The following comparisons were drawn assuming the highest level of available equipment. To be completely fair, we examine all versions with the notion that everyone has HDTVs, surround sound setups, wireless controllers, etc.
- Example One: The PC version of a game features poor mouse and keyboard control, but supports controllers. We do not fault it for its substandard mouse and keyboard control.
Example Two: The PlayStation 2 version of a game supports four-player, but it requires the use of a multitap. The functionality is still there. We do not fault it for it.
Example Three: The GameCube and Xbox versions of a game support progressive scan, but the PS2 does not. The games all look graphically identical, barring the benefits of progressive scan. The result: an even tie between the GameCube and Xbox.
We highly recommend that you read the detailed reports for every area of comparison -- there are many facts that might sway your decision based on your setup.
NHL Hitz Pro (GCN, PS2, Xbox)
Following up several years of tried and true gameplay, Midway decided to change the direction of its hockey series slightly with NHL Hitz Pro. The goal was to make it a refreshing mix of simulation and arcade action without having it so over-the-top it couldn't be taken seriously. So with the addition of some new players and a tweaking of the control mechanics, Midway changed NHL Hitz.
The end result is still a surprisingly addictive hockey offering, even when you stack it up against the equally impressive NHL 2004 and ESPN NHL Hockey.
It's available on GameCube, PlayStation 2, and Xbox, which creates the usual conundrum: which version is the one worth playing? From online functionality to the graphical touches, we have examined NHL Hitz Pro to determine which version is your best bet. If you want to rent or buy smart, be sure to check out this Head-to-Head comparison.

I have a problem with the free shipping.
Free shipping over 89€
Coupon: 5€
If a user buys a product that costs 89,01, it has the free shipping and the coupon too, this is not right.
I need that the coupon must be calculated before the free shipping check, doing like this the user will pay the shipping if he uses the coupon.
How can I do it?

Jimquisition: Air Control - A Steam Abuse Story
Pages PREV 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 NEXT
Have you seem the Steam page for Air Control?
Once again STOP putting words in my mouth. I ALREADY KNOW SURGEON SIMULATOR IS NOT UNDULY DECEPTIVE THAT IS MY FRIGGIN' *POINT*. Tell me, with specific example, how Air Control is different in the claims they make about their product, that make THEM guilty of false advertizing. The closest EITHER gets to false advertizing, is that both of them claim to be "simulations," which is not TECHNICALLY false in either case, but can lead consumers to false expectations in BOTH cases.
No where in the marketing materials I've seen does Air Control claim to be a comedically bad game. The key with Surgeon Simulator is that it's tongue-in-cheek. Not so with Air Control.
That's the difference. That's why Surgeon Simulator is not false advertising.
And yet, they have a website where you can not only rate products but review them. And you can do so in a negative fashion.
How about the individual product producer's websites? How many of those have a site that you can say shit about their products? Does Downey have a comment section where people can claim that their mountain fresh version gives you herpes?
Oh? That sounds like you're claiming an absolute truth again. Legal obligation is the main reason companies perform an action or do not perform an action. No company is obligated to create a free source forum where you can say whatever you want against their product or in favor of a competitive product. In fact, it's generally a negative thing for themselves to do, even when a product is good you still run the risk of really bad trolling.
So no, discussing legal obligation might as well be discussing a moral imperative from a business' eyes. It's the first question they ask before then filtering down to whether or not it fits their vision and benefits the company.
Actually, the developer has responded to most of them including that one. So... it seems like people missed that section.
Again, the one I sited was from day one and has a ton of comments under it every day since.
Again, Downey can do what it wants in Downey's store. But Steam is not Downey's store. If you ran a store that sold things other than Downey, it would be a really bad idea for Downey to be able to suppress any opinions about fabric softeners so that your customers couldn't make informed buying decisions.
Give me a break. There's countless actions a business does or does not take that have nothing to do with legality. No business legally has to give good customer service, but it's definitely a good idea to do so!
Steam does not legally have to do anything, but it would be a really good idea for them to fix this issue!
...? I don't think you're getting what I was saying.
I'd like to see this Steam shaming become its own series.
The game is still up as of the 4th of July.
Nah, Steam doesn't need quality-control, even the creator of GMod said so..
I mean, as Jim has previously said, nobody minds the existance of bad games on steam, but games that simply do not work? games with stolen material? games that are incomplete? false-advertising in Steam?
Just when you think that nothing can go wrong since everything else for PC gaming is getting better and better with every passing month..
Ya well the maker of Gmod is to busy not updating rust since it came out like 6 months ago. Not exactly the guy I'd listen to because of steam started removing crap, well their early access game they've sold pretty well is starting to look like something that will never be done, and is pretty crappy on it's own.
No where does it come right out and say "Hey stupid this is a joke." But the gameplay video they post with the game makes it clear that it is. Where in the description to they blatantly lie? Maybe where they claim that "It is the first airplane game, where plane compartment is visible." I can't remember any others but their may be. But I don't think anyone is complaining that its not the first to show the inside of the compartment.
This is one of the images posted on their steam page:
The thing that pisses me of the most is the fact that almost exactly a year ago, Valve blocked Paranautical Activity from releasing on Steam, because they had the gall to look for a publisher for their game instead of using Greenlight.
What's with the insane change of heart, Steam?
I saw an argument earlier which was built on misinformation. I'd like to correct that, since it seemed to be the crux of an ongoing dispute.
Steam does not, in fact, exclusively sell digital video games. They include unrelated software (like media players), as well as game-related software, game-creation software, and even game-creation tool-kits (like APIs and SDKs). So saying that they don't is factually incorrect.
It has a tab and everything on the main page.
Am I the only one who wants Jim to shout: "Nobody expects the Jimquisition!" at the end of these shaming videos?
Ugh. On the one hand, there are numerous examples of titles that have been rough and rocky on the technical aspect, but somehow managed to be so bad that it swings right back around and becomes good again, in a bizarre metamorphic kind of way. Goat Simulator being an immediate example, bugs and all, and God knows there are numerous other titles that, at a glance, just shouldn't have worked out, but more or less have scraped by. Games that, having never been released at all, would have cost a number of people an interesting experience.
On the other hand, the dangers of a completely open market is that one who has so much as fucked around on Unity for 2 1/2 hours is going to toss their mishmashed, stuttering abomination on the market for monies, and in a no refund market, even if a grand total of 10 people buy it for five bucks, totally worth it! Actually almost wonder if these people do this hoping that it will become the next Bad Hit, not realizing that, generally speaking, at least the crappy titles that sold gangbusters had some entertaining or redeeming aspect that set them apart. Air Control is... Not remotely redeemable.
First, although I'm normally not a big advocate of software piracy, in the situation I wholeheartedly endorse the Pirates to torrent the shit out of this. Release it on the Internet, make it as available as possible, that way if anyone is curious enough to actually play tripe like this, at least the developer won't be pocketing any proceeds; worse comes to worse and the person who torrents it decides that the experience was actually worth the five bucks, they could always purchase a legitimate copy after-the-fact.
Second, I'm thinking there needs to be a more immediate way to flag potentially crappy games for casual browsers. (Use an upvote and downvote system if necessary to determine that, which granted raises its own potential hazards,) in which, for a game like air control, capitalize every letter in the main title, both in search results and on the game's page, in dripping red font, make little flies rise up from the words, I don't care, but bottom line is that someone should be able to tell, at a glance, that if nothing else this game is extreeeeemely unpopular. The game would still be available for purchase, but having a big blatant warning klaxon in front of it will at least ensure that everyone gives it close scrutiny before spending their money.
I always thought that a steam "STORE" page was basically like the back of a game box in a retail store. If you want to base your decision to purchase a game on that information alone then you get what you deserve. Steam just hosts the game and page space for a cut, they don't regulate what the developer does with it.
If you want to talk about dishonesty go to a Game Stop, read the back of a AAA game box and ask the person working there if its worth buying.
Jesus! I like to think I have a cynical bent, but how the hell could you even expect to get away with releasing such garbage!?
I mean seriously! The arrogance is staggering! "Oh I'll release this unfinished piece of shit on Steam and the idiots will eat it up because its cheap and looks indie!"
Really? I could do it, and I have no qualifications: "I don't like the look of this Indie JRPG because I hate that genre, but I realise other people might enjoy it *and* its not a unfinished pile of crap, so onto Steam it goes."
I've said it before and I'll say it again: Valve policing every game that gets released isn't a solution because it's untenable. Control over what gets removed needs to be in the hands of the community. That's what will lead to the quickest response and action.
Expecting Valve to be able to police every single game is a bad idea. It would cost a tremendous amount of money, and asking every developer to submit their games for approval will lead to tremendous backlogs and likely cost too much for many smaller companies. There's a reason they chose to release on PC, not consoles, and console quality control measures not only have a history of shutting out the market for anyone who isn't in the pockets of the big boys with the sacks of money, but they don't even fucking work to begin with. If they did, no Bethesda game would ever see a console release because they're always hideously broken at launch, and barely any of the problems they have actually get fixed even months later.
The PC is an open platform. Valve wants Steam to be an open distribution center and it should be. It shouldn't place massive barriers in the path of getting games onto it. It should level the playing field for all developers to get their fair shake on the platform. The problem is that the community curation of the storefront that Valve has stated several times they are aiming to achieve is not there yet. I agree that that's bad and they need to get to that point sooner rather than later. My issue is that they seem to be the only ones who have a solution in mind that doesn't aim to bring Steam into ass backwards console territory. The console gaming market is dysfunctional, and the last thing the PC market needs is to be more like it.
And yet the people doing quality control for console makers don't get it right any more than flipping a coin would. And people are spending money to get their broken games past those certification processes. This is why the community needs control, not some faceless nobody at a company being paid to see if the game boots to the menu screen.
What is GoD factory? See you mentioning it right there and your concern for its success makes me want to look into it, if I'm interested then you just helped the game's success.
OT: I just wish steam's user reviews would be calculated into percentages that one could use to filter through games. Really, I would be fine with no quality control and just better filtering in searches (they could also add a tab on the store front page that says "highest user reviews" that could be sorted for the day, the week, the month, the year, all time, but I know the algorithm needed so that a game with just one positive review doesn't go over one with 99 positive and 1 negative review would be difficult to do. Hey, many other websites have figured it out I'm sure valve could).
Yeah but game developers aren't allowed to lie on the back of their boxes. Same should be true here.
The issue is also what happens when someone goes beyond the back of the box - to the reviews or forum of that game in Steam to get more information, and that information can be altered by the developer without you knowing it, misrepresenting the truth. THAT needs to be fixed as well.
Valve doesn't need to police every single game - just any game that does not have a publisher. A publisher attached guarantees that another company has a stake in making sure that the game at the minimum works. If the game is a travesty, the publisher takes flak as well. As such, you're almost assured that there will be no scam games in that situation.
So they just have to police the completely indie games, which is not too much to ask.
Steam's overall service has a working comment section but the developers are given control once you go into the game specific message boards. So no, I don't get what you're saying.
Jim is the hero we need but don't deserve.
This pile of rancid feces is still available on Steam, and the dude running the scam is still banning and censoring people on the forum.
Shameful, Steam.. Shameful. I can't fathom how after this kind of crap keeps happening that they don't take a more active role in quality control. And barring that, at least responding in a reasonable amount of time.
People keep saying that Steam policing its own titles for quality control is too big of a job and that the community should handle it. Why not a way to report infringing, broken, or exploitive games, and then it goes to an internal review once a certain threshhold (X number of reports in a week, say) is reached? That lets the community police the system, while still making sure there's a professional buffer between games and organized trolling.
And you've no idea of what false advertising is. Surgeon Simulator never says it's an actual simulator. First paragraph on my Steam page says that "Surgeon Simulator 2013 is a darkly humorous over-the-top operation sim game," so it never claims to be really serious sim.
Air Control on the other hand claims that it's the best flight simulator of all time.
Name of the product doesn't matter. What you tell about your product, is what matters in advertising. In real world the guys behind Air Control would've a law suit in their hands before they can say "ha-ha."
You put my name at the top of a quote that wasn't me. Please update accordingly.
The poster was Abnaxis: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/6.851575-Jimquisition-Air-Control-A-Steam-Abuse-Story?page=6#21055958
FYI, surgeon simulator is one of the best bang for the buck games you can get. I had a lot of fun with it and was not misled by any marketing of it like the quote you put me on did.
I just watched Jim's let's plays of Air Control and.......MY GOD, it looks even worse in motion! It's....Why? How? How could someone think this game is ready for Release?! Air Control isn't even worth it if it was FREE! *shudder*
"Brain, Head, Brain, Head. LOOK AT THE SIZE DIFFERENCE, WHAT THE HELL" was the kicker in the let's play, though. XD
If you are all mad about this game I have something even worse, Rabbits. Its the worse sitcom ever made it only has one camera angle and half the dialog is missing:
Yeah but they lie, tell half truths and give one sided subjective descriptions on the game boxes all the time. When Diablo 3 or Sim City were having problems at launch people weren't blaming Game Stop or Best Buy for selling it or not having a sign posted in the aisle saying it wasn't going to work were they?
Then what does a developer do if the forums are getting trolled by someone passing along false information of the opposite kind or having their game trashed by someone with a competing game or a scathing review from someone that is trying to run it on substandard hardware?
As a side note Developers cant moderate comments/reviews made in the general Forums, only the game forums.
I was being sarcastic, ofc..
Frankly, can't believe it's still being sold for money.
Sorry. Fixed
When did Jim start wearing a pink tie? And why?
Just chipping in to say that Steam needs better categorization on top of some quality control. Even if you devoutly believe that all this dredge is good for Steam, it's pointless if the users can't sort through it. Seriously, it's so difficult to just browse for titles you might be interested in.

Łódź lo͞oj [key], city (1993 est. pop. 842,300), capital of Łódzkie prov., central Poland. The second largest city of Poland and an important industrial center, Łódź was long the center of the Polish textile industry, but the industry has declined significantly since the end of Communist rule. Other manufactures include computers and electronics, chemicals, and consumer goods. Chartered in 1423, the city passed to Prussia in 1793 and to Russia in 1815. It reverted to Poland in 1919. The first textile mills were established in the city c.1830, but the industry grew only after 1870. The city was also the center of the Polish labor and socialist movements. In World War II it was incorporated into Germany, renamed Litzmannstadt, and subjected to ruthless Germanization. The city has a university (founded in 1945).

SALISBURY, NC (WBTV) - What do we think we know about Egypt? Bad stereotypes and caricatures, mostly. Pyramids, pharaohs, and the Nile River.
But there's so much more to it than that. As I'm sure you've seen in the videos, there has been protest. The country is at a tipping point.
Sometimes it's violent. Sometimes it's not.
Friday, a rally dubbed "day of departure."
Tens of thousands of Egyptians demonstrated peacefully in the middle of Cairo.
But there were also clashes between regime supporters and those who are against it.
At least eight people are dead. Hundreds more injured. And there's no end in sight.
Protesters say they'll continue to rally until President Mubarak steps down. And a handful of people did rally Friday in Charlotte. Despite the cold and the rain,
That's because the uprising in Egypt matters greatly to a lot of people in this city.
And today we found out why. PrimeTime's Jeff Atkinson reports.

Dear Parent/Carer,
As a way of developing children's life skills linked to future employment and longer term aspirations we intend once again to advertise for and appoint children to specialty designed 'jobs' that they can undertake in school. Children will have the opportunity to experience the process of applying for a job and completing an application form, considering 'pay' and taking account of job descriptions and associated responsibilities.
The positions available will include: 'Uniform Assistant', 'Lunchtime Assistant' and 'Reading Mentor' among others. If your child is interested, they will be asked to formally apply for a position and then, if appropriate, take part in an 'interview'. Successful candidates will be invited take up their posts for a fixed period of time. Your child will receive payment in house-points.
As with any normal employment, children will be able to resign or, in turn, be released from their duties after serving an appropriate notice period. Whilst this is as close to a real life process as possible, at all times we will be sensitive to individual children's needs. Guidance, support and encouragement will be given throughout.
All job advertisements will be displayed on the website and in the school hall.
We would appreciate your support; however we would like you to encourage your child to be as independent as possible in this exciting initiative.
If you have any questions, please contact the school office.
Yours sincerely,
Pupil Vacancy Team

Equine Enteric Coronavirus
There has been growing concern among our clients about a relatively new virus in the equine world called equine enteric coronavirus "ECoV". We wanted to post some information to better educate everyone and better prepare people in case their horses are affected.
Most of the cases that we are aware of this year have presented with fever, lethargy, and inappetance. A few have had mild colic signs. Most of these horses are back to normal within a few days. This virus creates signs that are very similar to the flu, though we don't tend to see upper respiratory signs (like coughing and nasal discharge) with ECoV. There can be complications in RARE cases, but we have not had any in our practice this year that we are aware of. There are rumors spreading of horses dying in the state from ECoV and while this can happen in rare cases, we are not aware of any. Complications like neurologic signs and death would likely be associated with a poor immune system or coinfection with other diseases.
The virus is spread quite easily through the fecal-oral route. Horses shed the virus in their manure and are infected when they ingest the virus. This can be spread as easily as a human caretaker getting a small amount of manure on their boots and tracking it to another stall or even another barn all together, so proper biosecurity protocols are very important. It is also important to let people know that there is a virus on the property that is contagious. If your vet, your farrier, your boarders etc. don't know about a contagious virus they could spread it unknowingly to other barns. If people are made aware they can take proper precautions like disinfecting their boots, washing their hands and changing their clothes before seeing horses that have not yet been exposed. Washing contaminated items with a detergent and then disinfecting them with 10% bleach is an effective way to kill the virus.
This is a relatively new virus in the equine world so we are learning information about it as more research is done. We know that the virus is shed in manure from 3-25 days after the horse starts showing signs. Some horses (up to 80% depending on the strain of virus they are infected with) do not show any signs at all- not even a fever- but they can still shed the virus. We do not know how long the virus stays alive in the environment, but studies in humans have shown that it lives longer in cold environments and can live 17 days or more in manure and urine. Sunlight and drying will kill it faster.
We can test horses by looking for DNA from the virus in manure samples. The samples are mailed out to a lab and take a few days to a week to get the results.
We are aware that there is a stigma associated with this virus where people don't want to admit that their barn is infected, but transparency is required to contain the spread of the virus. Everyone will benefit from the dissemination of accurate information and the horses will ultimately be safer and recover more quickly.
If you have more questions, or need help instituting a biosecurity plan, feel free to call us. As always, it is important to quarantine ALL new horses to your facility, especially if they have come from a property where they may be infected with a contagious disease. 30 Days is a standard length of time for a proper quarantine.

History of basket ball
Basketball was invented in December 1891 by the Canadian clergyman, educator, and physician James Naismith. Naismith introduced the game when we was an instructor at the Young Men's Christian Association Training School (now Springfield College) in Springfield, Massachusetts. At the request of his superior, Dr. Luther H. Gulick, he organized a vigorous recreation suitable for indoor winter play. The game involved elements of American football, soccer, and hockey, and the first ball used was a soccer ball. Teams had nine players, and the goals were wooden peach baskets affixed to the walls. By 1897-1898, teams of five became standard. The game rapidly spread nationwide and to Canada and other parts of the world, played by both women and men; it also became a popular informal outdoor game. U.S. servicemen in World War II (1939-1945) popularized the sport in many other countries
