DSE Student Chapter
Every engineering student is automatically a member of the student chapter of the Dartmouth Society of Engineers (DSE). The Student Chapter serves as a forum for matters pertaining to the welfare of engineering students at Dartmouth, as well as a liaison between the engineering student body and the DSE Parent Chapter, Thayer School faculty and staff, and Dartmouth College.
The Student Chapter also serves as a coordinating organization for social events and philanthropic initiatives. These include the weekly Friday Beers activity, the annual Steak and Champagne dinner, the Visions After School Science Program and Summer Camp, and the annual Thayer Ski and Snowboard Day. The DSE Student Chapter hosts the annual Formula Hybrid barbeque, and organizes a yearly Celebrating Thayer event, inviting students, faculty, staff, and alumni to sit down together for dinner and listen to a speaker. In addition, the DSE organizes a Graduation Reception that is open to students, faculty, staff, and the families of graduating students.
The DSE Student Chapter also works with other Thayer organizations to plan and organize additional activities to enrich the lives of Thayer students.

Dear Faculty and Staff Colleagues,
We're building Academic West. We're investing to prepare the way for new student housing, and we're streamlining Board of Trustees committees for more extensive dialogue among all trustees.
These were the major outcomes of our Tuesday, September 27 conference call with the trustees. Almost all our trustees were able to participate in this call, which allowed us to complete the urgent business pending after the cancellation of the on-campus September meeting due to the flooding.
Summaries of the board's decisions are below. Each of these actions reflects a considerable amount of work by many people from departments across the University. I am energized by the future for Bucknell that these decisions promise, and congratulate the board and everyone involved for bringing these important matters to this critical turning point.
I have continued to keep the board fully apprised of the on-going campus discussion of the Campus Climate Task Force report, and of the action steps I announced in my public letter of September 22. The board feels strongly that it is important that the University confront openly and directly the issues discussed in the task force's findings.
Last weekend, the University welcomed more than 1,050 families back to campus for Family Weekend – a record. More than 3,500 family members visited campus, about half representing families of the Class of 2015, and the other half spread across our other class years. Congratulations to the Office of Parent Relations, led by Ann DiStefano; the Office of Development and Alumni Relations; and the many other colleagues in offices across the University who made this weekend such a success.
It is a great time to be part of Bucknell. Thanks to all of you for your hard work on behalf of our students, our community and the future.
The board unanimously approved seeking construction bids in early 2012 for Academic West. This momentous decision takes us an important step closer to meeting our goal of opening the building by fall 2013. Academic West will be built on the southwest side of the Bertrand Library, and will house various types of modern classrooms, faculty offices, laboratories, meeting rooms, and offices for academic support staff. We have identified available gifts to address most of the $24 million necessary to fund construction of this building, which allowed the University to initiate construction. We are confident we will surpass our fundraising goal for this building, and continue to seek a large naming gift for Academic West through discussions with several interested friends of the University.
The creation of new classrooms and faculty offices is the single most important issue that we must address in the University's physical plant. Academic West will have the added benefit of creating a domino effect in opening up offices across campus as the faculty currently in other office space move to Academic West. While this building will not solve all the space problems that we face, it will be an important step forward.
The board's discussion of Academic West began with the implementation of the campus master plan several years ago. Last fall, the full board voted unanimously to use University resources to begin building the infrastructure for it and the other new buildings that will be placed south of the library in coming years. This infrastructure and fraternities relocation investment, totaling about $17 million, includes utility lines, sewage and water lines, internet lines and other essentials. The construction you see in that area is going well.
The board authorized the University to add to its current debt additional borrowings of up to $40 million. Debt is an important tool for investing in a university's future. Today, as you know, loan rates are the lowest they have been in many decades. The University's current debt will be fully paid by 2022, and so this is a great time to take advantage of low long-term interest rates. The prudent use of this new debt combined with the University's cash will position us to complete the current infrastructure improvements, fund the construction of Academic West as we wait for gifts to be received, and plan financially for the cost of new student housing, for which it is historically difficult to raise private gifts.
As part of its student housing discussions last Tuesday, the board authorized the administration to complete this construction on a timeline other than the original 2013 deadline previously identified by the board. We now plan for this new housing to open no later than fall 2015. The change allows the University sufficient time to develop ideas for the layout and design of student housing that will meet our residential living and learning priorities and the needs of the upper-class students for whom this new housing will be intended.
The board and I have come to believe that a more streamlined committee structure will provide more time at each meeting for the board to be in plenary sessions as a committee of the whole. Currently the board has 13 committees. With the support of the board, the board's Executive Committee and I have been working on a different approach. On Tuesday's conference call, we discussed the structure that we will likely propose officially to the board in November, and they expressed unanimous support for it. The structure we discussed entails seven committees, with sub-committees that would evolve over time as necessary to address board business. Once the board approves the committee structure, I will ask Tony Massoud, chair of the faculty, to work with the faculty committees to appoint appropriate faculty representation to the board committees.
On this conference call, the board also expressed its unanimous support for a new board meeting schedule. We currently meet as a board four times per year – in September and January (off campus) for retreats, at which the board meets as a whole rather than in committees; and in November and April for regular board meetings, at which committees meet before the meeting of the full board. Having discussed alternatives with the Executive Committee, our intention is to propose instead that the full board meet in October and April, and hold a retreat in January (off campus). This schedule will allow us to devote sufficient time between meetings to the business directed by the board, and to engage board members more fully in meetings, especially with the new committee structure. We also would look forward to hosting October board meetings around Homecoming and to hosting the January meeting in cities where alumni events could also be organized for board interaction.
These changes in board structure and schedule, while largely technical in nature, will be important steps, notably to meet the increasingly time-sensitive decisions in the current higher education environment and to improve the depth of decision-making within the body that governs our University. I am grateful to the board for their openness to these ideas, and am looking forward to the benefits these changes will have on the quality and pace of our discussions.

Cardinal Catch-Up
Cardinal Catch-Up 1/17/14
My e-mail on my phone hadn't been working right for a few days so today I went to find out why. I got to T-Mobile and just as I walked in to show them what was going on it started working right again. I know, typical. I looked in and seen there was some info in there that I wanted to share with you guys. Don't worry, none was spam. So after talking it over with my teammates, Cardinal Catch-Up was born. I will also include this weeks CSZ Tweet of The Week (#CSZTOTW) winner. Enjoy.

In an official press release, Blizzard announced today that StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty, the first installment of the Starcraft II trilogy, previously indicated to be released in the last quarter of this year, is delayed to the first half of 2010.
The release cited the massive amount of work necessary to overhaul Blizzard's online matchmaking service, Battle.net, as the main culprit for the delay. Since the new BNet will be part of every new Blizzard game from here on in -- including World of Warcraft, as players with BNet accounts have seen -- it's vital that the service be working properly before the game's release.
StarCraft II was never officially dated -- only an on-the-sly indication -- and multiple financial sites have reported the now-official release date as the first half of 2010 following this announcement and Activision-Blizzard's quarterly financial report.
What does this mean for the WoW player? Well, it means that if you were expecting the focus of BlizzCon, or one of the focuses of BlizzCon, to be a StarCraft II release date, you'd be incorrect.
Gives you pause when you consider what else they could be announcing instead, eh?

Allen Craig knocked in the eventual deciding run in the eighth inning and Adam Wainwright tossed seven scoreless innings to become the first 10-game winner in the majors, as St. Louis emerged with a 2-1 win over the New York Mets in the rubber match of a three-game series.
"My whole routine was thrown off today," Wainwright said, expecting that ominous skies and a dire forecast of up to three inches of rain might push back first pitch. "I had everybody in the world tell me I had never beat the Mets in their stadium so it was something I wanted to do.
The 31-year-old had been 0-4 with an 8.46 ERA in four previous starts in Queens.
Wainwright (10-3) allowed just four hits and two walks while fanning six to record his fifth straight victory, but Edward Mujica made things interesting in the ninth before picking up his 19th save of the season.
Matt Carpenter's RBI triple accounted for the other run as the Cardinals won for the fifth time in their last seven.
Marlon Byrd's ninth-inning solo shot was all the offense for the Mets, while Matt Harvey (5-1) was the hard-luck loser after giving up a run on five hits with seven strikeouts over his seven-inning outing.
"If I had just gotten seven zeroes, we're still in this game," Harvey said. "You really have to be locked in through this lineup."
Harvey exited following a scoreless seventh, but the visitors posted an insurance run in the eighth off Scott Rice.
Carpenter singled but was erased trying to steal second, while Carlos Beltran, Matt Holliday and Craig slugged three straight base hits to make it 2-0.
Trevor Rosenthal turned in a scoreless home eighth, but Byrd's long blast to left center with one out pulled the Mets within a run and John Buck followed with a double. Kirk Nieuwenhuis' grounder moved Buck to third, but pinch- hitter Josh Satin struck out to end the game.
The Cards picked up a run in the third, as Pete Kozma singled with one out, was sacrificed to second by Wainwright and scored on Carpenter's triple to the gap in right center.
"You could foresee this being a one-run game, just with the way the weather was and with two guys with high-caliber stuff going against each other," Carpenter said. "It was nice knowing that if we could just get one, we had a chance."
Wainwright retired the first 11 batters he faced. New York threatened in the fourth with two on and two outs, but Lucas Duda flied out, and in the seventh, the hosts put two on with two down and failed to score after pinch-hitter Justin Turner grounded to third.
Game Notes
Wainwright has worked at least seven full frames in 11 of his 14 starts this season ... He recorded his 1,000th career strikeout in the first inning, getting David Wright on a called third strike ... St. Louis upped its major- league best road record to 24-11 ... Prior to the game, the Mets announced that manager Terry Collins has been named to the NL All-Star coaching staff.

Three people have died following a shooting at a Detroit barbershop known for gambling, police said. Several other people were wounded, and a reason for the gunfire wasn't known.
Shots erupted Wednesday evening outside Al's Barber Shop on the city's east side. Nine people were struck, including two men who were inside the shop and died, police said.
Sergeant Mike Woody said Thursday morning that a third person died at a hospital, but he didn't immediately have additional details. More information is expected to be released at a Thursday morning news conference.
"We're not sure if this was over a bad debt. We have no idea," Police Chief James Craig said earlier. "We know it's a barbershop and gambling has occurred in this location."
The number of people believed shot had gone back and forth between nine and 10 following the shooting, but Woody said Thursday morning it was nine after investigators determined one person wasn't involved.
Police said two cars pulled up and people inside the vehicles started shooting at each other.
"Somehow someone shot into the building, and that's when people rushed out of the building and were running into other area businesses for cover," police spokeswoman Kelly Miner said Wednesday night.
Craig said those who were shooting "engaged a couple of victims" before "several shots were fired." He said it's not known if any of the victims fired back.
Police were looking for at least two people believed to have carried out the shooting, Miner said.
Craig said they also were trying to locate two vehicles that they think the shooters might have been using: a 2004 white Chevrolet Impala that possibly has a broken window and bullet holes in the back, and a 2004 black Impala.
Lorne Carter told the Detroit Free Press that he was smoking a cigarette against the wall of a nearby business when he heard what sounded like 30 to 40 shots.
"It sounded rapid," Carter said.
The barbershop is in a strip mall along a major road. Nearby businesses include a Chinese restaurant, auto repair shops and a convenience store.
Miner said police were interviewing witnesses.
After the shooting, Elaine Williams waited behind yellow crime tape that police had used to cordon off several blocks around the scene. Her 29-year-old son had gone to the barbershop for a haircut, and she was frantic, The Detroit News reported.
"Help me find my son," Williams cried.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - An array of local authorities - police chiefs, prosecutors, pastors and town Boy Scout leaders among them - quietly shielded scoutmasters and others who allegedly molested children, according to a newly opened trove of confidential files compiled from 1959 to 1985.
At the time, those authorities justified their actions as necessary to protect the good name and good works of Scouting. But as detailed in 14,500 pages of secret "perversion files" released Thursday by order of the Oregon Supreme Court, their maneuvers protected suspected sexual predators while victims suffered in silence.
The files document sex abuse allegations across the country, from a small town in the Adirondacks to downtown Los Angeles.
At a news conference Thursday, Portland attorney Kelly Clark blasted the Boy Scouts for their continuing legal battles to try to keep the full trove of files secret.
"You do not keep secrets hidden about dangers to children," said Clark, who in 2010 won a landmark lawsuit against the Boy Scouts on behalf of a plaintiff molested by an assistant scoutmaster in the 1980s.
The files were shown to a jury in a 2010 Oregon civil suit that the Scouts lost, and the Oregon Supreme Court ruled the files should be made public. After months of objections and redactions, the Scouts and Clark released them.
The Associated Press obtained copies of the files weeks ahead of Thursday's release and conducted an extensive review of them, but agreed not to publish the stories until the files were released.
The new files are a window on a much larger collection of documents the Boy Scouts of America began collecting soon after their founding in 1910. The files, kept at Boy Scout headquarters in Texas, consist of memos from local and national Scout executives, handwritten letters from victims and their parents and newspaper clippings about legal cases. The files contain details about proven molesters, but also unsubstantiated allegations
Many of the files released on Thursday have been written about before, but this is the first time the earliest ones have been put in the public domain.
The 1959-85 files show that on many occasions the files succeeded in keeping pedophiles out of Scouting leadership positions - the reason they were collected in the first place.
But the files document some troubling patterns.
In many instances - more than a third, according to the Scouts' own count - police weren't told about the alleged abuse.
And there is little mention in the files of concern for the welfare of Scouts who were allegedly abused by their leaders. But there are numerous documents showing compassion for suspected abusers, who were often times sent to psychiatrists or pastors to get help.
In 1972, a Pennsylvania Scouting executive wrote a memo recommending a case against a suspected abuser be dropped with the words: "If it don't stink, don't stir it."
In numerous instances, alleged abusers are kicked out of Scouting but show up in jobs where they are once again in authority positions dealing with youths.
One of the most startling revelations to come from the files is the frequency with which attempts to protect Scouts from alleged molesters collapsed at the local level, at times in collusion with community leaders.
On the afternoon of Aug. 10, 1965, a distraught Louisiana mother walked into the Ouachita Parish Sheriff's Office. A 31-year-old scoutmaster, she told the chief criminal deputy, had raped one of her sons and molested two others.
Six days later, the scoutmaster sat down in the same station and confessed.
"I don't know an explanation, why we done it or I done it or wanted to do it or anything else it just - an impulse I guess or something," the man told a sheriff's deputy.
The decision was made not to pursue charges. "This subject and Scouts were not prosecuted," a Louisiana Scouts executive wrote to national headquarters, "to save the name of Scouting."
In a statement on Thursday, Scouts spokesman Deron Smith said "There is nothing more important than the safety of our Scouts."
Smith said there have been times when Scouts' responses to sex abuse allegations were "plainly insufficient, inappropriate, or wrong" and the organization extends its "deepest and sincere apologies to victims and their families."
The Scouts in late September made public an internal review of the files and said they would look into past cases to see whether there were times when abusers should have been reported to police.
The files showed a "very low" incidence of abuse among Scout leaders, said psychiatrist Dr. Jennifer Warren, who conducted the review with a team of graduate students and served as an expert witness for the Scouts in the 2010 case that made the files public. Her review of the files didn't take into account the number of files destroyed on abusers who turned 75 years old or died, something she said would not have significantly affected the rate of abuse or her conclusions.
The rate of abuse among Scouts is the not the focus of their critics - it is, rather, their response to allegations of abuse.

Midfielder Mikel Arteta would love to see what a fully-fit Arsenal squad could achieve.
While captain Robin van Persie has enjoyed a largely injury-free campaign to score 33 goals, manager Arsene Wenger has not been able to call upon England midfielder Jack Wilshere all season because of a niggling ankle problem, while several other key men, including defenders Thomas Vermaelen and Bacary Sagna, have all spent a frustrating time in the London Colney treatment room.
Arteta, who has started 25 Premier League games, feels with everyone firing on all cylinders, Arsenal would be more than a match for any side, saying in Sport Magazine: "We have been hit with important, long-term injuries the whole season that really, really affect the team."

Julison Communications, a PR firm that was responsible for handling PR for The Pigford Case, which ended up in the fraudulent redistribution of taxpayer dollars and a 2010 bill by Barack Obama.
Julison was the person who controlled the story and visuals (the choirboy Trayvon image) that made their way to the news. This is how many lies got started like:
Trayvon leaving at half time of the NBA All Star Game for snacks. (The game started at 7:30pm and Trayvon was dead by 7:17pm)
Trayvon buying "Arizona Iced Tea" and Skittles for his "little brother." (Trayvon bought Arizona Watermelon, a popular additive to "sizzurp" or "lean" along with candies like Skittles. The "little brother" was Brandy Green's son Chad Green, who was 14 at the time. (He is now 15) Tracy Martin was not married to Green but was still married to Trayvon's stepmother, Alicia Stanley, who raised Trayvon from the time he was about 3. Alicia and Tracy Martin were married 14 years. Do the math. It mean that Trayvon had only recently started living with Sabrina Fulton (bio mom) who is now making a fortune out of Trayvon trademarks and settlements. (Tracy relocated Trayvon to Sabrina's home when the marriage fell apart due to his philandering with Brandy Green, who was pregnant with his child.)
George Zimmerman "stalking" Trayvon and "shooting him down." Zimmerman made a 4-minute telephone call to non-emergency dispatch at 7:09:34 pm; he was off by 7:13:41. The first 911 calls from neighbors start at 7:16:11. The gunshot occurs at 7:16:55. Somewhere between 7:13:41 and 7:16:11 (2:30) there is another altercation in the dark and rain. At 7:13:41, Zimmerman doesn't know where Trayvon is. Sometime in that 2 1/2 minutes, Trayvon and Zimmerman see each other (probably by Trayvon emerging) and a fight starts. There is NO TIME for stalking.

Quote from: greencat on October 11, 2012, 10:25:52 PMI wonder if it's possible that your fiance's idea of how much of a relationship they had 10 years ago and her idea of how much of a relationship they had were rather different.However, your fiance sounds like a keeper!Definitely a keeper.I wouldn't be surprised if her out of character behavior is this, or the whole staking her claim to her friend because she feels threatened that he's getting married, or the last singleton standing discomfort (or some combination) is behind her claim. I'll place my bets on the last two.Clearly, their relationship was not all that serious at the time, if he was making major purchases without input. I mean, if I were in a relationship that was well established and I thought was headed to the long term, I'd get a little input. Maybe not veto power, but an opinion. Heck, if I felt they knew me well enough (or had a useful perspective), I might get input from them regardless of relationship. But to buy property without any input indicates it was really new (ie, casual dating at most) or headed nowhere fast.
I wonder if it's possible that your fiance's idea of how much of a relationship they had 10 years ago and her idea of how much of a relationship they had were rather different.However, your fiance sounds like a keeper!
Ug, how annoying. It seems to me that she is trying to mark her "territory" as the woman who knows him best, however she is working with dated information. I don't know that I would go to extremes at this time; it's entirely possible that this is just a phase as she is truly forced to accept that your DF has changed and grown and has someone more important in his life than her. She might get over it, she might not. I'd take all of her comments as the eyeroll-worthy blustering that they are at this point, though. Hopefully she doesn't escalate the territorial behavior to taking a wee on your DF.
CharlieBraun, what you posted strikes a very serious chord with me. Before moving out here to be with DF, as I was finishing up my degree, I hadn't yet met BW, but knew they had briefly dated and still hung out. As I'd been in a position in my youth of being the reason a member of a social hierarchy suddenly changed status and all the other friends were very upset, I spoke at great length about it with DF. He assured me even then that back then they were casual at best and when he expressed interest in becoming more serious, her response was that he felt more like a brother and it was never going to happen, so he moved on. Coincidentally, about a year after that is when he traded in the 2 impractical cars for the more sensible truck.Then after moving out here and meeting and spending more time with BW, I came to see there really was nothing there between them so I put it out of my mind. BW even started dating another member of our group. She and I would get together for lunch and shopping when she was in town from work, and admittedly I was truly content. There is a group meeting scheduled for Thursday as our event and all it's little pieces have to come together the Friday before Halloween. Then another rehearsal on Saturday. I'll have plenty of time to practice how I'm to respond before spending a whole weekend with her around during the event.

Ask Slashdot: Best Pay-as-You-Go Plan For Text and Voice Only? 246
sconeu writes "My wife uses an assistive communication device. She wants to use it for SMS texting... We currently have Verizon, so we don't have a SIM. The computer will take a SIM. I'm looking for a pay-as-you-go plan where I can take the SIM from a cheap phone and put it in her computer. Any suggestions?" It would be interesting to hear how this question would be best answered both in the U.S. and around the world.

It had a quiet launch last year, Clear Channel Radio's IHeartRadio, a national digital music-on-demand service, has rapidly increased popularity among early-adopting tech addicts. Blackberry users have downloaded its streaming audio application over a quarter million times since it became available April 1, 2009, making it the second-most-popular application offered by Blackberry.
It's also currently the top media application. On average, downloaders spend 73 minutes a week listening to the service.
The popularity with Blackberry users builds on earlier successes in the mobile arena. In October, the IHeartRadio Web site was the most popular free media application on the new iPhone, and the seventh-most-popular app overall, according to Evan Harrison, the president of Clear Channel's online division, who has led the expansion of Clear Channel's digital offerings.
Currently, it's the third-most-popular music download app at the Apple App store, following Pandora and Shazam, with over 1 million downloads as of March.
I personally use this application on my device and absolutely love it. Check it out today and escape with some great music!

Pass Rusher and Safety = Superbowl.
Tell Jason Taylor to GFY, and address those 2 needs, please.

TRADE DOWN!!! This is the year for it, Tanny is feeling lucky and there's no way we can mess up, Taylor and Holmes were the last two missing pieces. Now we can go two ways, trade up for an impact player or trade down and do some stockpiling in this deep draft. We will need to make up for that 5th rounder. I',m thinking the caliber of players that will be attractive at 29 can be there 10, 15 spots later. Why reach when you can trade down a little and come out smelling like a rose. If there's a player out there like a Revis or a Harris or a Greene then go for it, but I just think it would be so cool to buck the trend this year and do what no one expects you to do, be bold, stockpile and actually hit on your picks... That would be monumentally huge for us and the momentum this year tells me it will happen, we can't be stopped!
I'm not too concerned about the Jets picking mays anyways. Especially after hearing papadakis interview our DB Coach after spending time with mays(former SC MVP champ).
Edit-trade back with KC and pick up hughes. I don't care about how much money we have tied in at OLB I want this team to get to the ****ing QB. Then pick up a (maybe 4th) most likely 5th from KC and draft Blount. Now draft a CB(NB) orSafety in the 4th. Alaula with the other second.
So OLB, DE, CB/S, RB, CB, FB

Holmes >>> Any WR in the draft
Message to season: Start already.
I can't believe we got Holmes for a 5th rounder, that's unreal.
-Get Jason Taylor signed
-Trade Leon Washington if he won't sign the 2nd round tender
-Draft Kyle Wilson in the 1st
Sign Taylor and Draft Everson Griffen rd 1..lets get that pass rush dominent.
I think D-Line has to be first priority. Address now before it becomes an emergent need which it will be after this season with Ellis and Jenks getting older (and Douglass not even on the team anymore).
I can't see us drafting a third CB in the first round, especially considering we must be planning to sign Cro to a long term deal. We need a 3rd CB bad but I think the need can be met in the 2nd round.
It's simple now. BAP defense in first round. Same in 2nd.
With our most glaring needs addressed through trades I think the Jets may be looking to trade up the board to grab another impact player. It's obvious we are trying to build a team to win now so why draft fillers? We need to plug holes and right now FS & DE are still huge ?????? for us.
For the first year in awhile, I am totally in agreement with trade down possibilities. There are no glaring needs, and I would love to pick up more pick, specifically for NEXT year. If we could trade out of the first into early in the second, we could pick up a 2nd rounder next year, or if we trade to back into the late second round, we could potentially pick up a first rounder next year!!
Kyle Wilson has to be the pick

As some may know, I live around the corner from a house full of geriatric hippies who periodically throw parties and fundraisers for their favored candidates. These events are among the most wince-worthy functions you will ever see. There's nothing quite as nauseating as seeing 5 or 6 muu-muu clad middle-aged women getting their groove on to "Smoke on the Water" while balding, pony-tailed men with beer guts watch rapturously.
Tonight they are raising money for the Dem convention and they have some kind of theme party. Sadly, it involves a "professional" DJ who is attempting to get them to actually dance. I mean with known steps, rhythm, and while touching each other.
Jesus wept.

More on the Sisters--and religious life
The Leadership Conference of Women Religious meets this week under the shadow of a Vatican "doctrinal assessment" and survey of the "quality of life" of apostolic religious. NCR has two interesting pieces, one a report from New Orleans [1], the other commentary by a Dominican sister [2], that give good background on the ongoing--and in my estimation unjustified--investigation of U.S. women religious. (If you don't know my opinion on the matter, you can read my July column here [3].)
Almost simultaneous with the LCWR meeting is a new study on religious life in the U.S., showing, not surprisingly, the continuing slide in vocations to religious life in the U.S. Those that are joining are more diverse culturally and racially (21 percent Hispanic, 14 percent Asian or Pacific Islander, 6 percent are African/African American, which is a shift from 94 percent white among finally professed). I haven't been able to confirm if the study asked country of origin, though I have a call in, which to me seems an obviousl and important question. Younger people who are joining, it seems, are gravitating more toward a more "traditional" style: habits, set schedules, etc.
One interesting bit for me was their motivation for joining: According to the AP story [4], "Unlike earlier generations, new members of orders are drawn to religious life primarily by a sense of call and desire for prayer and spiritual growth and less so out of a desire to do ministry, the survey found. . . . 'It isn't that ministry isn't important' to younger candidates, said Sister Mary Bendyna, the principal author of the study. 'Volunteering, social work, working for the poor — they can do that elsewhere.' " The complete study can be found here [5].
I wonder how that would jive with previous generations of religious. I still think the desire to wear a habit has more to do with the individual than with the essence of religious life--you don't see judges wearing their robes as a "witness" to the judicial system, though their robes were originally daily garments. And it strikes me that joining religious life to develop one's own spiritual life, instead of a desire for ministry, is a little self-focused. At the same time, perhaps the many options available to young people now means that what is unique about religious life will bubble up.

GOBLES, Mich. (AP) -- A 28-year-old Kalamazoo man faces his fifth drunken driving charge in two years.
The Van Buren County sheriff's office says Saturday that a deputy saw the man's vehicle stopped Friday evening in the middle of an intersection at a yellow caution light in Gobles, about 40 miles southwest of Grand Rapids.
The deputy later determined the man to be intoxicated and found a 4-year-old girl in the car. The girl's mother was called to the traffic stop to pick her up.
A breath test determined the driver was more than twice the legal alcohol consumption limit. He is charged with operating a vehicle while intoxicated, child endangerment and driving on a restricted license.
His name was not released.

Speed Found to be Key to Galaxy Formation 61
QuantumCrypto writes "The All-wavelength Extended Groth strip International Survey (AEGIS), a collaborative effort involving nearly 100 scientists in half a dozen countries, revealed a new principle in the formation of all galaxies, from disk-like spirals, cloud-like ellipticals, and just irregulars. In essence the morphology of the galaxies depends on total mass involved and the internal speed it generates. 'By defining a new speed indicator, their analysis has managed to make sense out of very chaotic-looking objects,' said Sandra Faber, professor of astronomy and astrophysics at the University of California, Santa Cruz."

Conservation and Environment in Cambodia: Monthly Updates
- Project Overview
- Additional Project Info
- Divemaster Course Add-on
- Monthly Updates
- Management Plan, Data & Reports
Monthly Updates from 2013
When the weather made it difficult to dive in the seahorse study area, everyone was more than excited to go diving at the reef sites and help out our long-term volunteer, Niki, with some Nudibranch research. The volunteers were also responsible for a hive of activity at the Khmer school; cleaning, painting, demolishing, and rebuilding the classrooms to give the school a much needed revamp!
New arrivals to the project are keen to be trained and become part of the survey team, as the dives are exciting and the work rewarding. All our 2 Week Special volunteers got involved as much as possible in the limited time available and gelled well with our long term volunteers.
In January, the volunteers surveyed 31 seahorse sites. We continued to monitor reef sites as well as continuously training new volunteers. The playground wall was completed and construction on the playground itself has begun. The volunteers were all very excited about this and were motivated for the work to continue. Work also started on an incinerator for the village. The windy weather has kept the volunteers busy with beach cleans.

Former Strikeforce heavyweight Brett Rogers was sentenced to 60 days in jail for a domestic-assault incident with his wife in June, according to a report today in the "St. Paul Pioneer Press."
Rogers in September pleaded guilty to a single count of felony third-degree assault. Two felony counts of domestic assault by strangulation and stalking were dismissed, as was a gross misdemeanor charge of endangering a child.
Rogers, a St. Paul, Minn., resident who in June was eliminated from the Strikeforce heavyweight grand prix, proclaimed his innocence after he was jailed for allegedly strangling and punching his wife after a night of drinking.
In addition to jail time, Rogers was sentenced to three years probation and ordered to have no contact with this wife until he completes a domestic abuse program and receives permission from his probation officer. He is also forbidden from using alcohol and drugs.
The sentencing judge denied a request from Rogers' attorney to delay jail time until after a planned fight on Dec. 31. Because Rogers already served 26 days in jail, the judge said he only needs to serve approximately two more weeks to complete his sentence.
Earlier reports said Rogers expected to avoid jail time as part of a plea agreement to drop the two felony counts of domestic assault and misdemeanor charge of endangering a child.
Rogers (11-3) was immediately released from Strikeforce upon his arrest. He most recently lost a split decision to Bellator and UFC vet Eddie Sanchez at Titan Fighting Championships 20. He is 1-4 in his past five outings, though three of his losses have come against top-tier heavyweights Alistair Overeem, Fedor Emelianenko and Josh Barnett.

Sandy Hook race could be state's largest
This new 5K could become the state's second-biggest road race in just its first year.
Unfortunately, the reason for its creation was last month's school shootings in Newtown.
Four thousand runners have already registered for the "Sandy Hook Run for the Families" which will be held March 23 in downtown Danbury. The field has been capped at 10,000 runners.
And while 10,589 runners finished the Manchester Road race - the state's largest - on Thanksgiving, the Newtown race could technically eclipse that number even with the cap.
That's because there is a virtual division in which runners can pay the $25 entry fee ($10 for kids), receive a T-shirt and number and run with others in their own communities to show support. Runners from other states have already entered the virtual division.
"This is a nice way to let everybody do something to show we're thinking about our neighbors in Newtown," said Elizabeth Cowles, who works for the public relations firm that represents the Hartford Marathon Foundation.
The HMF has donated its services and will direct the race. All of the entry fees will go to The Sandy Hook School Support Fund.
"This is something the marathon is honored to be a part of," she said.
"Here in Connecticut and around the world, we are all looking for ways to show our support and somehow make a positive contribution," said Beth Shluger, HMF founder, in a statement. "We've seen how family run/walk events can truly motivate a great sense of camaraderie and we're honored to produce this event to help everyone show their support for the families of Sandy Hook, the first responders and the entire community of Newtown."
Two people from the Naugatuck area came up with the idea for the race and, after seeing there would be a lot of interest, contacted the HMF for its assistance.
The race had originally been planned for Western Connecticut State University, which could accommodate up to 3,000 runners. But within a few days of the race being announced, 2,000 runners had signed up and Cowles said organizers had to reassess the WCSU location because they did not want to turn anyone away.
So the move was made to downtown Danbury. Cowles said the race is not being staged in Newtown because organizers don't want to further strain the resources of that small community.
The event will begin at 10 a.m., with kids 2-11 running a half-mile or mile, followed by the 5K. There will also be a special tribute to first responders.
More information is available at www.hartfordmarathon.com.
On the schedule
• On Feb. 23 at 10 a.m. the 21st annual Colchester Half-Marathon will be held at Bacon Academy.
This USATF-certified course features hills, dirt roads and is a bargain-priced spring marathon tuneup at just $12 in advance and $15 on race day. The fee includes a big post race carbo re-load party.
On line registration is at http://www.mysportsfee.com/colchesterhalfmarathon.aspx. For more information or a mail-in application, contact Rick Konon at email@example.com or call (860) 537-4597.

Letter to the Editor:
After 40 years of legalized abortion, (Roe vs. Wade), I think it is good to look at some facts:
267,926 babies in Iowa have been killed by abortion since Roe.
55 million babies have been killed by abortion in the United States since Roe.
Every 26 seconds a child is killed by abortion in the United States.
13 children per day are killed by Planned Parenthood in Iowa.
In Iowa, in just 4 years, Planned Parenthood has expanded its abortion locations from 7 to 14.
12% of abortions in Iowa are black babies though black people make up only 3.1% of Iowa's population.
77% of abortions in Iowa are white babies when white people make up 93% of the population.
Planned Parenthood makes an estimated $2.6 million a year from abortions in Iowa.
Planned Parenthood did 5,828 more abortions than there were adoptions in Iowa last year.
Almost 60% of abortions in Iowa are on women in their 20's.
(Sources- Iowa Vital Stats, CDC, and Planned Parenthood Annual Reports)
40 years of our country having little discernment of right and wrong, good and evil. 40 years of dishonoring a Creator and His creations. 40 years of sin and its consequences. 40 years of damaged women believing a lie and now hurting more than ever. 40 years of stopping a tiny beating heart.
Grieving the slaughter of God's precious children.

Lesson: People are much happier when you manage their expectations PROPERLY.
@vnewman2 Thanks for passing along your account of this principle, one I surly won't forget. : )
Some really good thoughts on over promising along this tread. I agree it will set an artificial bar which over time will lead to burn out. And let's face it - bosses don't really care if it is done earlier than planned, just as long as it get done by the deadline.
Thanks David for a really good look at some Office Hero Myths. I am looking within to see how these myths apply to me, it is very interesting to be guilty of many of the misconceptions. Two positve things (at least ) have come of this.
1. I have even more awareness of areas of personal improvement and ...
2. I know I am not alone.
Just stay right in the middle of the pack & try NOT to get noticed.
@ pcharles: Very well said. I believe this is the right way to stay for the time being at a place where performance doesn't matters a lot and promotions aren't expected or encouraged.

Senate Passes Bill To Try To Quiet TV Commercials
from the important-stuff dept
However, as John Abell points out at the Wired link above, this probably won't matter too much. Fewer and fewer people seem to actually watch TV commercials these days, and more TV viewing is shifting to the internet (where these rules won't apply). And, while I agree that louder commercials can be annoying, is this really the sort of thing that needs to involve the federal government?

2009 Softball
Bluffton sweeps twinbill at Trine
Bluffton pitching showcased in sweep of Trine
March 17, 2009
ANGOLA, Indiana - The Bluffton University softball team showed off its pitching in a sweep at Trine University, the two-time reigning MIAA champions, on Tuesday, March 17, 2009. The Beavers limited the Thunder to just one hit in two games while improving to 12-4 on the season. Trine fell to 8-4 with the setbacks to the Beavers.
Bluffton 3, Trine 0
Bluffton scored all it would need in the top of the first when the Beavers took a 2-0 lead on the strength of two hits and a Trine error. Freshman catcher Meagan Price (Toledo/Springfield) drew a one-out walk before Jayme Marbaugh (Ohio City/Parkway) reached base thanks to an error. A Lindsey Miller (Wapakoneta) single loaded the bases for Chelsie Osborne (Chillicothe/Waverly) who promptly drilled a two-RBI single.
A leadoff walk to Kellie Kenney (Toledo/Emmanuel Baptist) paid dividends in the second frame when leadoff hitter Torrie Wilson (Delphos/Jefferson) singled her home with two outs for a 3-0 lead.
Junior stalwart Brooke Babcock (Findlay) did the rest, holding the powerful Trine bats hitless for the game with nine strikeouts and four walks while improving to 6-2 on the year. Bluffton put together just four hits, but Osborne's single in the first led the Beavers to a 3-0 victory in the lidlifter.
Bluffton 2, Trine 1
After two scoreless frames for both teams in game two, a leadoff walk by Kenney to Jessica Hutchison led to the Thunder's only run of the afternoon. She stole second and third before Sara Hivley singled her home. in the bottom of the third.
The Beavers responded with two runs in the top of the fourth. Marbaugh and Miller rapped one out singles and once again, Osborne came up with the huge hit. Her base knock plated Marbaugh before a Babcock RBI groundout scored Miller for the 2-1 lead.
Kenney rolled through the Trine hitters much like Babcock in game one until the bottom of the seventh. A hit batter, two wild pitches and a walk brought Kristin Agauas (Bloomfield, Mich./Andover) on in relief with one out. Following another walk, Agauas induced a game-ending double play for her first collegiate save.
Osborne finished game two 2-of-3 with a crucial RBI. The Beavers tallied just four hits, but Kenney (4-1) surrendered a lone single in 6.1 innings of work. She struck out three batters and issued three free passes. Agauas worked to just one batter and recorded the save when Osborne snared a seventh inning popup and doubled Trine off third for the final out of the game.
Bluffton returns to action with a rematch against Adrian College on Saturday, March 21. The first contest vs. the Bulldogs is slated to start at 1 p.m.

TORONTO (AP) — The home runs were flying out fast, but Wilson Betemit's grounder was the biggest hit of the night.
Betemit stroked a go-ahead, two-run single in the eighth inning and the Baltimore Orioles rallied to beat the Toronto Blue Jays 7-5 Friday night, snapping a three-game skid.
"That was huge," Orioles pitcher Tommy Hunter said. "He had a hell of a game."
The switch-hitting Betemit is typically better from the left side, but he came through from the right side against veteran lefty Darren Oliver (0-1).
"Wilson has had a couple of big hits for us right-handed," Orioles manager Buck Showalter said. "I know exactly what (Blue
Jays manager John Farrell) is thinking. I'd have done the same thing. (Betemit's) better side is left-handed."
Farrell instructed Oliver to pitch around Matt Wieters to get to Betemit, but the strategy failed.
"We probably should have faced Wieters instead of Betemit. Maybe I might have had better luck," Oliver said.
Darren O'Day (1-0) worked one inning of relief for the win and Jim Johnson closed it out for his third save as the Orioles opened a 10-game road trip, their longest of the season, by winning for just the sixth time in their past 35 games in Toronto — a streak that dates to 2008.
"Here, playing in our division, it was important to start this road trip off pretty well," Adam Jones said.
Baltimore improved to 4-4 in its past eight games at Rogers Centre.
The teams combined for seven home runs, all solo shots.
"It was home run derby out there tonight," Jones said. "A lot of balls left the ballpark."
Robert Andino, Jones and Nolan Reimold connected for the Orioles, while Edwin Encarnacion, Yunel Escobar, Kelly Johnson and
Colby Rasmus went deep for the Blue Jays, who doubled their season home run total in one game.
"Just about all of those were mistakes and that's where they should have been hit," Showalter said. "This is a big, strong
man's league and you make those mistakes, they're not singles and doubles, they're going to end up where the grass doesn't grow."
All of Toronto's homers came against Hunter, matching his career high.
"Thankfully nobody was on base for any of them," Hunter said.
Hunter also allowed four homers in an Aug. 13, 2010, start against Boston.
Baltimore trailed 5-4 to begin the eighth against Blue Jays reliever Jason Frasor. Reimold led off with a single and J.J. Hardy
struck out before Oliver replaced Frasor. Reimold stole second and went to third when Nick Markakis reached on an infield single. Jones struck out and Wieters walked to load the bases for Betemit, who grounded a first-pitch single to center, scoring Reimold and Markakis.
"I had a good pitch to hit," Betemit said. "He threw me a fastball right down the middle."
Reimold gave the Orioles some insurance with a homer off Casey Janssen in the ninth, his second.
Markakis' sacrifice fly gave Baltimore a 1-0 lead in the first, but Toronto answered in the bottom half on Kelly Johnson's one-out homer.
Markakis doubled and scored on a single by Jones in the fourth, but Toronto tied it in the bottom half when Reimold missed Adam
Lind's liner to left for an error, allowing Jose Bautista to score from first.
"The lights are tough," Reimold said. "I ran to where I thought it was and it ended up being a little bit in front of me. I
just botched it."
The relay throw home beat Bautista, but he evaded Wieters' tag as he slid in, then reached back to touch the plate.
Baltimore reclaimed the lead on Andino's homer to center in the fifth, his first, before solo shots from Rasmus and Escobar in the bottom half, the first for each, put the Blue Jays back on top.
Blue Jays starter Brandon Morrow couldn't hold the lead through the sixth, giving up a homer to Jones, his second, but Toronto
promptly answered on Encarnacion's one-out shot in the bottom half, his second, to take a 5-4 lead.
Morrow allowed four runs and six hits in seven innings. Hunter gave up five runs, four earned, and six hits in six-plus innings.
NOTES: Jim Johnson has converted 11 straight save opportunities dating to 2011. … Toronto placed closer Sergio Santos on the
paternity list and recalled LHP Evan Crawford from Double-A New Hampshire. Santos flew home to California on Wednesday after earning the save in Toronto's 3-1 win over Boston to join his wife for the birth of their second son. He could rejoin the team as early as Saturday. … Baltimore's Mark Reynolds, who has struggled with his defense, made his first start at DH with Betemit taking his place at 3B. … Orioles RHP Jake Arrieta will start Monday in Chicago, pushing LHP Wei-Yin Chen back one day to Tuesday. Showalter said he wanted to split up lefties Chen and Brian Matusz, who starts Sunday.

No one's gonna say it's not possible. But your also not going to find anyone to say it's likely. Not with heartfelt conviction. No one.
You'd think Jets fans would know better. Didn't we play out the exact same situation 2 years ago. Crushed by NE in December, come back to beat them in the playoffs.
Not saying Houston wins, but they certainly have a shot.
No one's gonna say it's not possible. But your also not going to find anyone to say it's likely. Not with heartfelt conviction. No one.
Oh hell Yeah! I do, and they will beat the Pats.
I think if I were Kubiak and Phillips, I would have studied the tape of the defense Rex used when the Jets beat the Pats a few years ago. Dropping 7-8 guys into coverage at times clearly frustrated Brady, and Texans have the horses to generate a pass rush while doing it. That game was easily Rex's best coaching job.The one negative the Texans face in doing that, their DB's are the weakest part of their defense. Either way, if you try to play them straight up, Brady will carve them up.
I think the Pats contain Foster and things get ugly by the 3rd qtr.
This is a bad matchup. The Pats have too many options on offense vs. that one dimensional Houston defense.
If the Texans get some lucky bounces, they might only lose by a td.
Did anyone think that we would beat the Patriots in the Playoffs?
- the Texan defense is not as good as the Jets' defense in 2010.
- The Texans' defense is built on a strong front seven while the Jets were built on a strong secondary. The secondary other than Joseph are the weakness of their defense. Look at last week. If Dalton was a better QB, he would have passed for two more TDs last week with wide open receivers in the end zone
- The Pats didn't have an outside threat or a good running game against the Jets. That strategy of flooding the center of field with only four men not dropped into coverage will open opportunities for Ridley and Lloyd.
- Gronk was a rookie. He wasn't half the player he is today. That said, is he healthy?
The Texans could win, but not the way the Jets did.

In his last 12 playoff games, Tom Brady is 6-6.
I don't think the Texans will beat the Pats, and the Pats may get past the Ravens too, but we all know there's no way the Pats are beating the 49ers in the Superbowl so it will all be for nothing eventually. The Pats can't handle a strong defense, and their defense is going to get toasted by Kapernick so it will be a pretty good SB loss for the Pats again this year.
If Cushing was healthy I'd be a bit more optimistic.
As it stands, simply having to play in Gillette is brutal.
Can't see the Ravens winning there either. But I could see either the Niners or Seahawks beating the Pats soundly.
There isn't a snowball's chance in hell of Houston going into Foxborough and winning this game.
Personally I don't see it happening but we all saw what Balt. did so I can't say it couldn't happen but it's not likely they'd beat the Pats as much as I'd like to see it happen.

Turks Create Endowment for ABAC
TIFTON— George and Betty Turk recently established an endowment at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College to fund enrichment opportunities for students in the School of Agriculture and Natural Resources.
George Turk ('52) has served on the Ag. Alumni Council for many years and was instrumental in founding the annual Ag Classic golf tournament which generates funds to provide scholarships for students in the School of Agriculture and Natural Resources.
"George Turk is a role model to many, inspiring us to serve ABAC as he does. His enthusiasm, energy and commitment are unmatched," said Dr. Tim Marshall, Dean of the School of Agriculture and Natural Resources. "He cares infinitely for our youth, and dearly loves this institution. He and Mrs. Betty are paying forward to those who will attend ABAC in the future as they have always taught their family and friends to do."
Three generations of the Turk family have attended ABAC including George Turk, their son Charles and more recently, their granddaughters, Charlie and Faith. George Turk is retired from Gold Kist. He and Betty Turk have been married for 57 years and reside in Commerce, Ga.
"Gifts such as the Turk endowment will provide life changing opportunities for ABAC students for many years into the future. We are thankful for their leadership gift," said Paul Willis, Vice President for External Affairs and Chief of Staff.

As far as an SoC with an actually working graphics stack goes, I think it technically is the most open, but only by a hair, and they all suck as far as openness goes.
(Yes, the Mali-200/400 has that open source project, but it doesn't actually work.)
It's just as closed as everyone else's, but because the binary blob is elsewhere, everything running on the ARM side is open. That, at a functional level, makes it slightly more open (in the "open systems' sense, definitely, but not so much in the "open source" sense). As I mentioned, ANY OS can use this, and it also means that if things in Linux+Xorg (or, if it becomes Linux+Wayland) change, the ARM side driver can be updated. This is more open than everyone else, where things may end up tied to specific versions of the Linux kernel and Xorg.

Hi there,
I'm not sure if this is a bug or a missing feature (according to me :p).
I'm trying to use XTemplate member function in template <tpl if="..."> statements and it doesn't seem to work.
Is it supposed to work ? How ? If not, have you considered this ?

Earnings from the retail segment will continue next week, with results due from giants Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (WMT) and Target Corp. (>> Target Corporation).
Social networking giant Facebook Inc. will begin trading Friday, in a highly anticipated deal that would make Facebook the most valuable U.S. technology company at the time of an initial public offering.
The National Association of Home Builders will release its May housing market index on Tuesday, while the U.S. government will release housing starts data for April on Wednesday, providing more information about the housing sector's sluggish recovery.
Quarterly Earnings Due From Wal-Mart, Retailers
A parade of retailers will report their latest quarterly results next week, including Wal-Mart, Target, Saks Inc. (>> Saks Inc), Gap Inc. (>> The Gap Inc.) and J.C. Penny Co. (>> J.C. Penney Company, Inc.).
Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters expect Wal-Mart, Target and Saks to report single-digit profit gains on a percentage basis. Gap has already issued an upbeat fiscal first-quarter earnings forecast and has said its spring products continued to perform well across all brands.
Meanwhile, Penney is expected to swing to a first-quarter loss as the department store operator continues to revamp its operations. Penney is in the midst of trying to reinvent itself under new Chief Executive Ron Johnson, who came to the company from Apple Inc. (AAPL), going from a very promotional department store to one that relies largely on single prices and offering numerous "stores within stores."
Facebook To Debut Next Week
Social networking site Facebook is expected to begin trading on the Nasdaq next Friday under the symbol "FB." The company last week set a price range for its shares at $28 to $35 a piece, targeting a valuation as rich as $96 billion that would top rival Google Inc.'s (GOOG) 2004 IPO. Google holds the record for the largest U.S. Internet IPO by raising $1.9 billion at a valuation of $23 billion.
Facebook executives have been pitching the company to big investors in an IPO roadshow since Monday.
Wall Street analysts have been overwhelmingly bullish in their early analysis of Facebook. However as questions about the company's prospects linger ahead of its public debut, Facebook revealed in a regulatory filing Wednesday that ad revenue isn't keeping up with user growth because it has limited ads on its mobile site.
Housing Data, Consumer Price Report Due
The National Association of Home Builders will release its May housing market index on Tuesday. U.S. home builders' confidence in the housing market slipped in April for the first time in seven months, as consumers didn't go ahead with purchases despite having shown more interest of late.
The U.S. government will report housing starts and building permits data for April on Wednesday. U.S. home building declined in March but new permits reached their highest level since September 2008, showing the sector is struggling even as builders anticipate future demand.
The U.S. Department of Labor will also release data on April consumer prices on Tuesday. U.S. consumer prices eased a bit in March, as much tamer energy costs hinted at lighter inflation pressures heading into the spring.
AMR Unions Get Their Day In Court
The unions representing thousands of American Airlines flight attendants, pilots and other workers will spend next week arguing against the airline's move to terminate their labor contracts.
American's parent, AMR Corp. (>> AMR Corporation), had its say in the first part of a bankruptcy-court trial last month, which broke for several weeks to give parties time to attempt to negotiate a compromise.
The flight attendants' and pilots' unions on Friday planned to deliver no-confidence petitions to AMR management in Texas as well to rally outside the Manhattan bankruptcy court in protest of the proposed termination of their labor contracts.
If the unions' public comments or witness questions at the first part of the trial are any indication, their case will probably be heavy on endorsing an AMR merger with suitor US Airways Group Inc. (LCC), which the unions have said has offered more generous terms than what AMR wants to impose.
AMR is trying to cut $1.25 billion in annual labor costs, with about $990 million to come from union concessions.
EU Ministers To Discuss Spain, Greece At Meeting Monday
European Union finance ministers are set for a highly sensitive monthly meeting in Brussels on Monday in the wake of forecasts which show the divergent prospects for the bloc's economies, including some member states deviating from their planned budget reduction path.
"It'll be a very political Eurogroup meeting, short on details and long on politics," a senior EU official said of the agenda. "Spain will be the focus of much attention, and the situation is moving very fast there."
Greece will also be discussed as politicians seek to form a coalition government in the wake of elections there.
G-8 Leaders To Meet At Camp David
U.S. President Barack Obama will host the Group of Eight summit at Camp David May 18-19. The G-8 comprises Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia, the U.K. and the U.S.
Newly-inaugurated Russian President Vladimir Putin said he will miss the upcoming summit as he is busy forming a government but will meet Obama at the Group of 20 summit in June, the Kremlin said Thursday.
Export-Import Bank Extension Likely Next Week
Senate Republicans on Thursday blocked an attempt by the Democratic majority to unanimously pass a three-year extension of the authority of the U.S. Export-Import Bank, a federal agency that helps U.S. manufacturers sell goods abroad.
Republicans are demanding the right to hold amendment votes on the legislation that would seek to place constraints on the bank's ability to provide financing assistance to exporters.
Despite the political maneuvering, it is expected that an agreement will be reached between the parties that would allow votes on the bank's extension to take place next week.
The House passed the three-year extension of the bank's mandate earlier this week, lifting its financing cap gradually over that time to $140 billion from its current $100 billion.
The bank provides loan guarantees and some limited insurance to foreign companies seeking to buy U.S. manufactured goods. Every major American foreign trading partner operates a similar entity in their country providing assistance to domestic exporters.
Among the significant conferences next week are the Bank of America Merrill Lynch Health Care Conference Monday through Thursday in Las Vegas; the Deutsche Bank Clean Tech, Utilities and Power Conference on Monday and Tuesday in New York; the JMP Group Inc. Research Conference Monday through Wednesday in San Francisco; the JPMorgan Homebuilding and Building Products Conference on Tuesday and Wednesday in New York; the JPMorgan TMT Conference Tuesday through Thursday in Boston; the Oppenheimer Industrials Conference on Tuesday and Wednesday in New York and the Bank of America Merrill Lynch Global Transportation Conference on Thursday and Friday in Boston.

Running a household is hard work whether one person lives there, or ten. Moms often do the bulk of housework but not only is it not fair to the Mom, it doesn't help to teach kids what it takes to keep the home on track. Here are some tips to get your kids involved in helping out around the house.
1. Work together. Getting the kids involved isn't always as effective as when you are all working together. If they see that you're putting effort in, they'll follow suit.
2. Be specific. Telling kids to "clean up" is vague and sometimes, overwhelming.Tell them to place their toys back in their toy boxes, or to make their beds, or to empty their lunch kits to get ready for making lunches, etc. If they know exactly what is expected of them it is more likely to get done.
3. Make pickup time fun. Playing "clean up" songs are a hit with most pre-schoolers. Plus, if you do it consistently, you can get to the point where all you have to do is turn the music on and everyone starts getting busy.
4. Chore pockets. Create (or buy) chore pockets and tickets with chores on them. Each family memmber has an "in" pocket for chores that need to be done and an "out" pocket for completed chores. You can see an example of this at Balancing Everything.
5. Chore charts. A variation of the chore pockets, chore charts can be fun with a ticket system which can be redeemed for items or rewards. Tickets are given as rewards for chores and good behaviors. Tickets are taken away as consequences. Here are some age-appropriate chore charts.
6. An allowance. If tracking sharts seems like too much for your busy life, a simpler way is to institute an allowance. Make a list of daily/weekly tasks that need to be completed, check them off when done, and at the end of the week your child can collect their allowance.
7. Use an App to help you. In this age of technology, many of us have smart phones that we use for a myriad of tasks and reasons. Need help getting the kids with chores? There's an App for that.
8. Don't forget to say Thank You. While rewards and consequences are motivators, most kids thrive in an environment where Mom and Dad thanks them for the work they do.

Going Wild in Wiesbaden: Too Many Favorites
Reigning world champion Sebastian Kienle faces an outstanding field at the IRONMAN 70.3 European Championship on Sunday.
by Volker Boch
Wiesbaden heats up this weekend for the seventh edition of one of the most challenging IRONMAN 70.3 races in the world. Wiesbaden, a picturesque city in southwest Germany, will once again host the IRONMAN 70.3 European Championship. In addition to the notable IRONMAN competitors in the race, 2008 Olympic champion, Jan Frodeno, is making his half-distance debut.
The day begins with a swim in Lake Waldsee Raunheim. Athletes then take on the tough bike course that winds through the Taunus Mountain range before they complete their day with a four-lap run through downtown Wiesbaden.
Champions converge
Defending champion Anja Beranek is missing from the women's race this year, but there are some other strong representatives from Germany who hope to keep the title at home. Four-time Olympian, Anja Dittmer, makes her IRONMAN 70.3 debut alongside another German Olympic-distance specialist, Anja Bazlen. Bazlen is fresh off a runner-up finish at the 5i50 European championship in Zurich. Swiss Daniela Ryf was third in Zurich and she is arrives with a fast-swimming countrywoman: Rahel Küng.
Austria's Lisa Hütthaler has already won 70.3 titles in Mallorca, Austria and Norway this year, which makes her an easy pick as the pre-race favorite. Catriona Morrison was the runner-up in Norway and the two-time Scottish IRONMAN champion seems ready for a rematch on Sunday. Canadian Angela Naeth (CAN) is one of the strongest cyclists in the sport and has already won at IRONMAN 70.3 Eagleman and Buffalo Springs Lake in 2013. Other women to watch for on Sunday include Great Britain's Tamsin Lewis and Susie Hignett, along with Australia's Annabel Luxford. Luxford is a former Olympic-distance star who made a splash in her 70.3 debut this year when she won the IRONMAN 70.3 Asia-Pacific Championship in Auckland.
Fierce competition for Kienle
The field of over 50 pros is missing one of the greatest 70.3 racers in history. Two-time IRONMAN 70.3 world champion Michael Raelert has pulled out of the race with a knee injury. It's a huge disappointment for the German, who has won twice in Wiesbaden. Raelert's absence hardly makes the day any easier for defending 70.3 world champion Sebastian Kienle, though. The 2009 winner in Wiesbaden, is phenomenal on the bike, which is why this course suits him so well. Where Kienle doesn't shine is in the water, and there's a strong contingent of former Olympians who will keep the pace moving through the swim. Included in that group are Olympian Denis Vasiliev from Russia, Matt Chrabot (USA), Swiss Ruedi Wild and 2008 Olympic gold medallist Jan Frodeno (GER).
Added to the mix on Sunday are IRONMAN 70.3 UK winner Ritchie Nicholls (GBR) along with his countryman, Fraser Cartmell, Germany's strong biker and runner, Boris Stein, Sylvain Sudrie from France and 2005 IRONMAN world champion, Faris Al-Sultan.

The Rides of March. … And Beyond
Bender revisits Indiana's perfect season – Part I
When Bob Bender packed his bags and headed off to college during the summer of 1975, he had no idea what a legendary journey was ahead of him.
Seven months or so later, he and his Indiana University teammates became the last college basketball team to achieve a perfect season.
The 1975-76 Hoosiers' remarkable 32-0 run became a hot topic again this season as Wichita State went 35-0 before falling to Kentucky in the NCAA Round of 32. The Shockers made the most serious bid to achieve an undefeated campaign since 1990-91, when the University of Nevada-Las Vegas went 34-0 before falling to eventual champion Duke in the Final Four.
Bender, in his first season as a Milwaukee Bucks assistant coach, was a freshman guard on Indiana's 1976 national championship team, which completed its run of the table with an 86-68 triumph over Big Ten Conference rival Michigan in the national title game – its third victory of the season over the Wolverines.
As Bender watched the Bucks warm up for a recent game from a seat on the bench, he began a trip down memory lane with a twinkle in his eye.
"We won it in Philadelphia." he recalled. "It was the end of the UCLA era, so to speak. It was unbelievable.
"When we won the national championship and went back to Indiana, it was just bedlam on campus. Even for us as freshmen, it was the best spring of our lives."
The path that led to Bender's championship journey began in Quantico, Va., where he was born in 1957. He moved with his family to Illinois, where he played football and baseball and developed into an All-American basketball player at Bloomington High School.
A coach's son, Bender became team captain and averaged 23 points per game as a senior to earn a spot on All-American lists that included the likes of Darrell Griffith, Darryl Dawkins and Bill Cartwright. He was presented with the 1975 Chicago Sun Times Player of the Year Award, which honored such other prep phenoms as Quinn Buckner, Isiah Thomas, Doc Rivers and Kevin Garnett.
Among the many college coaches who monitored him closely during his senior season was Robert Montgomery Knight, who was in his fourth season as head coach at Indiana University.
"All of the recruiting back then was done at the high school games, especially in the Midwest," Bender said. "When I was coming up and playing in Illinois, there was a state rule that we couldn't go to a basketball camp. They didn't allow that until I was out of high school. The high school season was when the recruiting was done and the significance of the recruiting was first and foremost.
"Coach Knight has a presence, as you could imagine. When he walked in the gym, there might have been other coaches there, but all of the attention drifted to Coach Knight. A lot of times when he came, it wasn't a big game. He didn't care about maybe seeing you in the state tournament. He wanted to see you in a regular-season game where he could tell what you were really all about."
Bender doesn't remember being fazed by Knight's presence at his games.
"I don't think it rattled me," he said. "My strength was my ability to pass the ball. I played on a really good high school team with guys who could really shoot and score the ball. I never felt the pressure that, 'I have to score a lot of points tonight' when Coach Knight was there to watch. I just did what I did."
Knight was known for his honesty as a recruiter.
"He was great in recruiting," Bender said. "He was very, very honest. He told guys that it wasn't going to be a walk in the park. I went and watched them practice a few times in my junior year. Even with a recruit sitting in the stands watching practice, he didn't hold back at doing what he does. I don't think he can."
Bender's recruitment became intense.
"Back then, there were no restrictions on assistant coaches being on the road," he said. "Even grad assistants could be on the road. The person who came and saw me the most was Mike Krzyzewski, who was a grad assistant at Indiana at the time. Then he left Indiana at the end of my senior year in high school to become head coach at Army."
Bender noted how strategically Knights' staff and his team were constructed.
"When you think about the people who were on that Indiana staff – Dave Bliss went on and had great success at Oklahoma and New Mexico, Bob Weltlich went to Mississippi and Texas, Bob Donewald went to Illinois State -- they were all Midwest guys. I think a lot of things chemistry-wise had a lot to do with guys having a common bond or common thread throughout the coaching staff and the entire roster.
"If you look at our roster, we had only one player – a guy who was in my class, a close family friend of Coach Knight's who walked on – who wasn't from Indiana, Illinois or Ohio. He took pride in that. He felt that you developed more of a passion for being at Indiana if you were from the Midwest, especially those three states. He had recruited those states really well. Going back before me, if you were from those states and you were given an opportunity to go to Indiana, you didn't pass it up."
Bender became sold on IU.
"When I went and made my official visit, the school itself was another big advantage," he said. "And the passion that IU fans and that whole environment creates is pretty special. It was really special back then."

The wife of a Morrow County man who shot at a deputy in an attempt to protect his marijuana-growing operation pleaded guilty yesterday in federal court.
The wife of a Morrow County man who shot at a deputy in an attempt to protect his marijuana-growing operation pleaded guilty yesterday in federal court.
Corrina Roush, 37, admitted to growing more than 100 marijuana plants. She will likely serve eight years in prison, three more than the minimum, according to a plea agreement. U.S. District Judge Algenon L. Marbley will have to agree to the sentence.
The operation was discovered in October 2010, when Morrow County Deputy Brandon Moore arrived at the home of Shane and Corrina Roush to settle a dispute between neighbors.
After being told about the marijuana plants, Moore was trying to look behind a privacy fence when Mr. Roush, wearing body armor, fired his AR-15 rifle at the neighbors and the deputy. Moore was hit five times and severely wounded but was able to return fire with his handgun, wounding Roush.
Moore, who was honored as the National Deputy of the Year in 2011, started back on light duty at the sheriff�s office last month. Moore is to finish physical therapy in April and might be cleared for full duty then.
Shane Roush pleaded guilty last year in Morrow County Common Pleas Court to attempted aggravated murder and other charges. He is serving 25 years in the Toledo Correctional Institution. Last month, he admitted in federal court to growing more than 1,000 marijuana plants, which carries a minimum of 10 years in prison, with the possibility of a life sentence. Any term would be served concurrent with the state sentence. A sentencing date has not yet been set.
Mr. Roush had more than 100 guns and 29,000 rounds of ammunition in his home, but gun charges against him were dropped as part of the plea agreement.
Mrs. Roush avoided state charges because her husband refused to testify against her. She had been facing a charge of complicity to attempted murder and other complicity counts related to her husband�s case.
