Space Command. A network among systems. A command above commands. A far-flung bureaucracy of space-worthy and not-so-worthy leaders, officers, cadets and various auxiliary support personnel and associated service workers. A team of seasoned space experts and well-meaning novices, dedicated to maintaining lawfulness, order and the purportedly inalienable rights of Space Command and its affiliated partners and commercial agents throughout its expansive galaxy. At least, that was the theory.
Blouder Base was one of the most significant bases in the Space Command network. A complex tangle of pods, docks, living habitats, entertainment arenas and interlocking, lattice-like bridgeways made out of impressive see-through minerals mined primarily from the Pagoleran system. A first time visitor approaching the base in his, her or its Blaster, Floater or ClearCruiser was always impressed and suitably awed by Blouder's sprawling layout and vintage 4th SCID century architecture. The space halls of Blouder had played host to some of the most revered names in Space Command command: Prime Commander Pin Vennison, the first Commander to subjugate the Planet of the Gilled Marauders; Section Leader Falu Moonion, who'd bravely, but hopelessly, led his under-equipped brigade into the deadly vortex of a green hole due to an order badly mangled in the communication chain and, of course, Prime Commander Dunnon Blouder, the founder and mastermind behind the base and its namesake, whose sage and bearded face adorned some of the most important chambers of the facility.
Then there were the current occupants.
Prime Commander Ledder studied his face in the chamber mirror, admiring his thick and assertive brown beard.
Upon learning that he'd been chosen to take over Blouder Base, Ledder's first leadership decision had been to grow a full-size, inarguably masculine and flagrantly authoritative beard, the kind of beard one saw in the portraits of the pioneering Space Commanders of the past. Men who had staked Space Command claims on wild, untamed planetary systems. The Sporgum system, with its collection of badly damaged, misshapen flora inhabited by fruit-hoarding, bear-sized ground bees. The Lavabroad-McGinley system, with its gigantic gas planet, Morphon, and its small, speedy, mineral-rich satellites guarded by the poorly organized and badly equipped Thumb People. And the wild, hot and lawless Needle Butte system, with the dry and dusty twin planets of Orange Wasteland I and Orange Wasteland II, where Space Command troops had battled stubborn livestock entrepreneurs with brigades of saw-gun wielding shock troops.
All of these planetary systems had been brought under Command control by leaders proudly sporting conspicuous beards with a manliness and forthrightness that couldn't be denied. Beards that impressed the men under their command with their bristly, fertile multitude of hairs. Refulgent and pugnacious displays of facial ornamentation that silently spoke of the rigorous marshalling of individual follicles into tightly regimented shows of collective force – virtual hair analogies for the skills required by a military leader.
Of course, each commander's beard had manifested its potency in a unique way. Commander Crowe-Nelson had favored an impressively rounded, snow-white iteration with the smoothness and even curve of a weighty shovel. Commander Kivverkorn had awed his men with a curling, complex web of lengthy orange and red hair that descended in immense, spiraling cascades all the way to the vicinity of his navel. And Commander Foon, ever-businesslike and efficient, had worn the merest, understated patch of shield-shaped, ink-black hair, emblazoning his chin with subtle potency, as though to declaim that his detractors would be foolish to judge his troops' strength and determination by a superficial estimate of their size.
Yes, in the long Space Command tradition, the men and women under his direction would surely be suitably impressed with Ledder's ample and rich facial décor. But there were other, non-martial benefits to be gained from a beard's well-established effect upon the sensibilities of the feminine gender. Nothing made a woman more aware of a man's manliness than the way he wielded his facial accoutrements. Even the strongest-willed woman would never be able to grow a true beard, and Ledder believed that fact added a subtle, undeniable tinge of beard envy to the meditations of the women he encountered.

Kevin Ayers, one of the most influential figures in U.K psychedelia, has died. The singer-songwriter, bassist and guitarist was a founding member of the band Soft Machine. He was 68.
Soft Machine were a key psychedelic band, playing alongside Caravan, Egg, and Hatfield and the North. The group became a fixture at the UFO Club in London in the late '60s. The group toured with Jimi Hendrix – Jimi liked Ayers, and encouraged him to write more music, giving him a Gibson guitar to do so. 1968's debut, The Soft Machine, is considered a classic of the psych genre. Soft Machine took their name from William Burroughs' 1961 novel, after receiving permission from the author.
In the '70s, Ayers released whimsical solo albums - Whatevershebringswesing, Bananamour and The Confessions Of Dr Dream And Other Stories. Patchy albums followed sporadically, up to his return to live performance with '92's largely acoustic Still Life With A Guitar. In 2007, he released The Unfairground, with guests including Phil Manzanera, as well as members of Teenage Fanclub, Neutral Milk Hotel and Gorky's Zygotic Mynci. Ayers also worked with Brian Eno and Elton John.

Theres no rubber seal between the auto shade cartridge and the outer protective lens, should there be? Has anyone else had this problem? I personally think this is a poor design on millers part, but praxair did say they have seen this problem before. They said the helmet was fine, I'm looking for other opinions now.

Major League Lacrosse, the premier professional outdoor lacrosse league, announced the weekly award winners for week 5 of the 2013 season, which concluded on June 2. The winners are chosen every week by the League, and are based on outstanding in-game achievements. This week's Warrior Offensive Player of the Week went to Hamilton's Stephen Keogh, while Rochester's John Galloway took home the Warrior Defensive Player of the Week. New York's Rob Pannell earned Cascade Rookie of the Week honors in his MLL debut.
Keogh found the back of the net five times to help lead the Hamilton Nationals past the Chesapeake Bayhawks in a 12-11 overtime win on Saturday night. The third season veteran demonstrated his superior abilities to finish around the net, highlighted by a between the legs, no-look completion. Capitalizing on five of his seven shots for a stellar .714 shooting percentage, the Player of the Game upped his season shooting percentage to .556. Keogh's handful of goals increased his season total to 10, good for second place in Hamilton's standings. On Saturday, June 08, at 8:00 p.m. (ET) Keogh and Hamilton will battle the Denver Outlaws in a feud of unbeatens. This game will be broadcast live on YouTube.
Galloway anchored the Rattlers' defense in a 9-7 victory over the Ohio Machine on Sunday evening. The goalie accumulated 16 saves to earn his second win of the season, and to keep Rochester fighting for fourth place in the standings. Against Ohio, Galloway collected eight saves per half and finished with a .438 save percentage. This season Galloway has stopped 44 shots en route to a .506 save percentage. Currently in his third year at Rochester, he has amassed 362 MLL career saves. Rochester next takes on the Boston Cannons in Kennesaw, GA on Friday, June 07, at 8:00 p.m. (ET). This game will be broadcast live on CBS Sports Network.
Pannell finished his NCAA career, brought home the Tewaaraton Award, and excelled in his first ever MLL game, all within a week. The rookie scored three tallies, added an assist, and scooped three ground balls in the Lizards 14-12 loss on Friday night. Pannell was the first overall draft pick in the 2012 Collegiate Draft. After a wildly successful Cornell career, the fifth-year senior ended his collegiate reign as the NCAA Division I all-time points leader [354], while grabbing the most prestigious award in college lacrosse. Pannell and the Lizards play host to the Chesapeake Bayhawks on Thursday, June 06, at 7:00 p.m. (ET). This duel will be broadcast live on CBS Sports Network from Icahn Stadium on Randall's Island in New York City.

As my mother and I drove through the southern end of San Francisco along a congested Interstate 280, we gathered our thoughts for the oncoming forty minutes. She and I were to record my coming out story and story of my activism for StoryCorps [1], a nonprofit organization whose mission is to "provide Americans of all backgrounds and beliefs with the opportunity to record, share, and preserve the stories of our lives."
My mom's main goal was to share her experiences as a supportive parent of her gay son, and I wanted to share how having a supportive parent allowed me to thrive and reach out to countless LGBTQ youth and fight for LGBTQ equality.
My mother and I had never really sat down and talked about my coming out. There was never a need to; she has always been there for me when I needed her to be, and my feelings about my coming out experience with her were not negative. So why discuss them?
That's why I found the experience with StoryCorps so magical.
My mom and I connected and got to really discuss how each of us felt when I came out to her. She said some things that really stuck to me. She talked about how I had always been different, that I was the kid in elementary school who would "literally be picking daisies out in the soccer field." My mother really knew me. I mean, obviously she knew me--she is my own mother. But she understands me. I knew then why I was sitting in this silver, soundproof cube in the Contemporary Jewish Museum in downtown San Francisco. The relationship that my mother and I have is so unique, so special, and something that very few seventeen-year-old openly-gay youth have with their mothers--let alone many straight youth.
My mother and I sat down inside the StoryCorps cube, and the conversation began awkwardly, but this was expected and natural. It wasn't long before we really got into the conversation, and the facilitator even started asking my mom and me questions because he was intrigued by our story. While this was not caught on tape, my story was apparently so moving it made our facilitator cry.
The power that stories have over other people is incredible, and after doing StoryCorps, I realized that maybe if activists used storytelling to convey messages, people would be more likely to listen. We can fight for equality and tolerance, but do we really want people to tolerate the LGBTQ community? We should want them to understand us and not even question us. Because when someone tolerates a group of people, they still believe something to be wrong with that group. They just choose to hide that issue under a pillow, but it's still there.
StoryCorps is up to something that I think can change the way activists work. Stories.
If someone who "tolerated" the LGBTQ community heard my coming out story, heard about what I went through, and learned about my mother's support for me, then maybe people could truly embrace the LGBTQ community. We all have our stories, and they deserve to be heard. Whether it's a story of a gay youth coming out and his mother's reactions and thoughts, or a story about another interesting life experience, we can all learn from one another.
Now, my entire coming out story, my entire story of becoming myself, and my entire activism career are on a forty-minute recording in the Library of Congress. How cool is that?! Super cool if you ask me. And it all started with my activism career. I pursued my passion of helping others and found myself at GSA Network, who gave me this amazing opportunity. Many thanks to the awesome people there!
Max Philp is a 17-year-old Senior at Menlo-Atherton High School. He is Co-President of his GSA and represents Northern California Youth on the GSA Network NorCal Youth Council.

As a mechanic you become very territorial and particular with your tools. Once you find something you like, and that doesn't let you down – you stick with it until it does. Ultimate Repair Stands which became Feedback Sports a few years ago is one of those things. They make repair stands, and scales that I would recommend to everyone and anyone. When I was given the opportunity to upgrade from my old and well used Ultimate repair stand to the Feedback Sports Pro Elite Repair Stand, I bit the chance hard!
Specifications of the Pro Elite Stand
Key specs that I like to point out of this stand are the following
- Weight : 12.6 lbs. It makes it easy to take with you on the road and for smaller women to manipulate around
- Transportable. Tie the weight with the ease of collapsing down the the stand into a relatively compact package
- Stable. This is where the importance for a mechanic comes in. I want to be able to do a complete rebuild, full service and do it all on the road. Everything I've thrown at this stand, it has taken. This is thanks to the 54″ tripod base system. As long as you position the bike correctly on the legs, you won't have it tipping over on you, no matter the bike.
- Quick Release Clamp. One of my favorite parts of this stand is the quick release button. All repair stands need this, more importantly all stands need this feature with it lasting as long as Feedback Sports release last. If you work on bikes often, you'll love this one hand use clamp.
More on the Pro Elite Stand
As the testing continues, bikes get heavier, clamps get used more, and so on there are a few other notes to mention that aren't above. This stand can come with or without a tote bag, I like the tote bag but if you plan on transporting it once a year save your money.
MSRP : Between $220-240 depending where/when and if you want the tote bag
Until I'm finished my review, take a look at Road Bike Review's video of Feedback Sports 2011 line up:

February is Black History Month, and in the spirit of Dr. Charles Drew, a black surgeon and blood specialist who became the first medical director of an American Red Cross blood bank in 1941, the Red Cross reminds all eligible donors how important it is that donors are as diverse as the patients who need their help. Drew's pioneering work in blood collection and transfusion laid the foundation for modern blood banks.
All patients are matched by blood type and Rh factor prior to transfusion. For some patients, additional red cell markers in donated blood also have to be matched. These markers are determined by ethnicity and are best found in a diverse donor base. For more information and to make an appointment to donate, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS.
Upcoming blood donation opportunities:
Grundy County: Feb. 25 from 1-6 p.m. at Gladbrook Reinbeck High School, 600 Blackhawk St. in Reinbeck, Iowa.
How to donate blood
Simply call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or visit redcrossblood.org to make an appointment or for more information. A blood donor card or driver's license or two other forms of identification are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age (16 with parental consent in some states), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements.

Building Custom iQuiz Data
Pages: 1, 2
Custom Graphics
iQuiz looks for custom graphic files in the same trivia pack folder it finds trivia.txt. When it finds files with certain names, it replaces the default graphics with the custom ones. You can only use TARGA images with iQuiz, and Apple specifies the allowable dimensions for each kind. It's very easy to put these files together using an image editor like Photoshop but it's also a lot of work. I'd recommend you skip custom graphics unless you have a pressing need to create a unique visual signature for your quizzes.
You'll find a complete list of file names and specifications at the Apple iQuiz web page.
Tip: The iQuiz 1.0.ipg file in your iPod Games folder is actually a zip archive. Copy it to a new folder and unzip it to gain instant access to the original source images (and lots of other source material). Use these graphics as a jumping-off point for your adaptations.
Building Questions Programmatically
Now that you've seen how to create the trivia.txt file for custom game packs, the next challenge comes from filling that file with compelling content. Educational material in an existing digital form provides a rich source of questions. (Apple Learning Interchange 2007 seems to agree.) For example, with a list of foreign language words and their proper gendered form (la mano, i bimbi, lo zoo), you can easily build a program or script to scramble the forms with possible errors, e.g.:
MC Which is correct? la scuola il scuola lo scuola le scuola 1
Here are a few key factors that will help you put together effective quizzes.
- Use several question forms. Avoid using the same kind of prompt for every question. "Which is correct?", "Which is correct?", "Which is correct?" grows old fast. Build a collection of prompts and randomly select from them for each question.
- Use "smart" mistakes. For multiple-choice questions, try to generate wrong answers that make sense. To create a multiplication quiz, I picked a series of common one-off errors as the basis for the wrong answers.
// Seven "wrong answer" patterns based on common mistakes ans[0] = (x * y) - 1; ans[1] = (x * y) + 1; ans[2] = ((x + 1) * y); ans[3] = ((x - 1) * y); ans[4] = (x * (y + 1)); ans[5] = (x * (y - 1)); ans[6] = ((int) ((x * y) / 10)) + ((int) ((x * y) % 10) * 10);
Quiz Generation Example
Here is the C source of my multiplication quiz, demonstrating all of the above points in turn. (And yes, my use of variable names is terrible.) To use, compile and then paste the results into the bottom of a trivia.txt file.
// Erica Sadun // April 2007 // // makequiz -- makes a Multiplication quiz with question variations // #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <time.h> // // Provide 4 answers for every question. Include an answer key. // void fourAnswers(x, y) int x, y; { int ans[7], i, a, b, tmp; // Seven "wrong answer" patterns based on common mistakes ans[0] = (x * y) - 1; ans[1] = (x * y) + 1; ans[2] = ((x + 1) * y); ans[3] = ((x - 1) * y); ans[4] = (x * (y + 1)); ans[5] = (x * (y - 1)); ans[6] = ((int) ((x * y) / 10)) + ((int) ((x * y) % 10) * 10); // Allow dupes of wrong answers but not of right ones by adding // random, positive number to answers that dupe the correct one for (i = 0; i < 7; i++) if (ans[i] == x * y) {ans[i] += (rand() % 80) + 1;} // Shuffle answers randomly multiple times for (i = 0; i < 30; i++) { a = (int)(rand() % 7); b = (int)(rand() % 7); tmp = ans[a]; ans[a] = ans[b]; ans[b] = tmp; } // Insert correct answer randomly into one of first 4 items a = (int)(rand() % 4); ans[a] = x * y; // Print question in trivia.txt format using one of four styles. printf("MC\n"); b = (int)(rand() % 4); if (b == 0) {printf("What is %d X %d?\n", x, y);} else if (b == 1) {printf("What do you get if you multiply %d by %d?\n", x, y);} else if (b == 2) {printf("What is %d times %d?\n", x, y);} else {printf("What is %d multiplied by %d?\n", x, y);} // Print out answers. 4 per question, one per line. for (i = 0; i < 4; i++) {printf("%d\n", ans[i]);} // Print the correct answer index and extra CR printf("%d\n\n", a + 1); } main() { int x, y, z; srand(time(NULL)); for (z = 0; z < 3; z++) // three sets of questions for (x = 2; x <= 12; x++) // multiply 2x2 up to 12x12 for (y = 2; y <= 12; y++) { fourAnswers(x,y); } }
Other Sources for Questions
If you do not have data sources on hand, you can easily google up data sets for both educational and entertainment trivia. Search, for example, for free public-domain or open source "pub quizzes" and "trivia databases." These, when put into the proper format, make excellent iQuiz games. In my searches, I found several open source trivia databases including these sets, which are part of the MisterHouse project.
Assembling and Installing Trivia Packs
To install a game, start by creating a new folder. Name it with the title of your trivia pack. Place the trivia.txt folder inside along with any custom TARGA image files.
After purchasing and downloading iQuiz, iTunes automatically creates an iPod Games/iQuiz 1.0 folder inside your iTunes folder (typically found in ~/Music). Drag the trivia pack folder you just created into the iQuiz 1.0 folder and then sync your iPod. iTunes will automatically load your new trivia pack onto your iPod.
Unmount your iPod and launch iQuiz. Your new trivia packs appear in iQuiz's "new game" menu (if didn't enable the "HIDDEN" tag, that is). As you wait for your Quiz to load, you'll see a pulsing iQuiz logo. If you mess a little bit with the scroll wheel when you see this, you'll be pleasantly surprised by the rubber-band-like results.
Tip: If you're curious and you've enabled disk access, you'll find your games in /Volumes/(name-of-your-iPod)/iPod_Control/GameData_RO. One of the folders in that directory--possibly 11002--contains the iQuiz game. In that folder, look under UserTrivia/Packs to discover your user-installed game sets.
I've put together a bunch of sample files to accompany this article. These include three variations on the multiplication game, the C source used to create them, and a set of six trivia packs built using trivia data from the Net that was represented as open source and/or public domain on the sites I downloaded from. (If anyone knows otherwise, please let me know and I'll remove them.)
In this article, you've seen how to create custom iQuiz files. You can go the simple route by using Aspyr's easy-to-use iQuiz Maker utility, or you can go the slightly harder but ultimately more rewarding route by building your data files from scratch. Once again, Apple has provided a flexible and useful tool that goes way beyond expectations and offers exciting possibilities for anyone willing to get up to speed.
If this article inspires you to build your own trivia packs, please leave a link and a description in the comments.
Erica Sadun has written, co-written, and contributed to almost two dozen books about technology, particularly in the areas of programming, digital video, and digital photography.

Corrine Sweet, a psychologist, said cuddling a teddy bear was an "important part of our national psyche... it evokes a sense of peace, security and comfort. It's human nature to crave these feelings from childhood to adult life. It's not surprising, then, that taking a teddy bear on a business trip is popular. As a bedtime bear evokes feelings of home, warmth, and can help you nod off – just like in babyhood."So... it's a special British thing?
The study also found that the traditional teddy bear was the most popular cuddly toy among adults, with Winnie the Pooh second and Paddington Bear third.
ADDED: This post brought back a long-lost memory. When I was a child, I wanted to be the child that takes a stuffed animal or doll to bed. I had a mental "ideal girl" image in mind. I tried... and failed. I couldn't put up with it. I liked to sleep on my stomach and extend my hands flat under the pillow, and I cared a lot about the underside of the pillow being very cool. I used to turn the pillow over to get the cool side facing down.

Farmington bank buys Bank of America in Boonville
The First State Community Bank, a community bank headquartered in Farmington, Missouri, has agreed to purchase nine Bank of America locations, including the one in Boonville. Other branches purchased in this deal include locations in Cape Girardeau, Jackson, Kennett, Mexico, Moberly, Richland, Rolla and Vandalia. A news release by the FSCB, states that in addition to the branch locations, the transaction will increase FSCB's asset size to approximately $1.7 billion. It states the project is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2013 pending regulatory approval which will increase FSCB's regional footprint to 46 locations throughout Missouri. "The new locations will be a great complement to some of our existing banks," Greg Allen, CEO and Chairman of FSCB said. "We have recently had a rare opportunity to greatly expand our presence throughout Missouri and specifically within our regional footprint. We are fortunate to be in the position to capitalize on such great opportunities." The release stated that FSCB is working closely with Bank of America to ensure a seamless transition for both customers and employees. Once the transaction is complete, FSCB expects many Bank of America employees to transition to the company and keep their current positions. FSCB, founded in 1954, has been growing steadily in recent years. Including the nine locations acquired from Bank of America, the company has added 23 new locations since 2008, nearly doubling in size. According to an article in the Columbia Daily Tribune, Bank of America has been in the process of selling around 750 of its branch locations.

'Nokia World' In Abu Dhabi
Nokia unveiled a slew of new mobile devices Tuesday in Abu Dhabi at the company's "Nokia World" event. In anticipation of Microsoft's acquisition of Nokia's device and services business expected to be complete early in 2014, Tuesday's event likely marked the last occasion Nokia will reveal such a hardware lineup on its own. All of the new devices run on a version of the Microsoft operating system, including one that sports RT, and could give Microsoft a much needed boost in the mobile arena, bringing the company closer to competing with Android and iOS operating systems. Here are seven things to know about Nokia's Tuesday announcements from the Abu Dhabi stage.

Paris Saint-Germain are planning a summer move for Manchester City defender Joleon Lescott, reports the Daily Express.
The 30-year-old has fallen down the first-team pecking order at the reigning Premier League champions, partly down to the impressive form of fellow centre-back Matija Nastasic.
The Serbian stopper has settled in well alongside City captain Vincent Kompany at the heart of Roberto Mancini's defence, after arriving at the Etihad Stadium from Fiorentina in a €15million deal.
Lescott's restricted game-time has alerted the attention of PSG boss Carlo Ancelotti, who is keen to bring the former Everton star to Parc des Princes at the end of the season, in a bid to strengthen the Ligue 1 leaders' defence.
Ancelotti is looking to orchestrate a sustained period of success in the French capital, and will look to bring in a number of big-name signings in the summer.
David Beckham completed a deadline-day move to Paris, signing a short-term contract with PSG, and Lescott could join the former LA Galaxy midfielder across the Channel, if he decides it best to leave Manchester City when the transfer window reopens in July.

Friends We All Need
Women base friendships on feelings of recognition, women like to show that they are very much the same as the other and show their weaknesses to their friends. Where men enjoy to talk with friends about their accomplishments and might even brag about some achievements, women are very careful with this. They are more likely to tell each other their most embarrassing moments or how they made a stupid mistake, and chances are high that their friends come up with even more awkward stories. Confession and recognition is how women confirm their friendships.
Having friends helps us in having a satisfactory and successful life, but apparently it also affects our health. People with more friends live longer than people with few friends. We can explain this by saying that the more friends we have the more chance that someone can give the right thing at the right time. Not all friends are the same. With different issues, you will probably go to different friends. Where one friend will give you a shoulder to cry on, the other will try to distract you from the issue by suggesting an activity.
The Motivator:
This person is someone who is always enthusiastic about what you are doing or planning to do, whether you want to throw a steady career to become a ice cream vendor in Antarctica or open a bed and breakfast in your garden shed. This person will always say: "Go for it, girl!" and does not judge your plans or curious career changes at all. This person motivates, inspires and will give you a little extra push where needed, because this friend only sees opportunities ahead.
The Friend in Need:
She is in crisis-management mode all the time and feels at her best when she can help out. She is down on her hands and knees when you lost your contact lens. She is there on a Sunday morning helping you mob after you house flooded. She borrows you her car. She organizes, saves and takes care until you are no longer in need of anything.
The Confidant:
With this person you can discuss anything from your mother in law to last night's erotic dream, and most of all; you can discuss with this friend things that you would not discuss with your partner. This friend will laugh with you, cry with you, but would never judge you. She will listen to you, but never repeat to others what you told her.
The Fun Friend:
Girls just wanna have fun, and this friend knows how to have uncomplicated fun at any place at any time. She is not embarrassed to go from the slide in the playground, or to flirt with a 20 years younger waiter on a terrace. She loves karaoke nights and tries all free testers of perfume in a local warehouse. She is unruly, relaxed and celebrates life.
The Truth Teller:
This is a friend who does not try to rise above you, but truly wants you to bring out the best of yourself. She will not only tell you when you are not dressed properly for your age, or that you really are drinking too much lately, but she will also tell you when you are wrong in an argument with your partner, or that you really are a little too harsh on your children. You need to realize that this friend is only telling you the truth because she wants you to have a chance to change it and better yourself. She does not say these things from jealousy or revenge, but truly loves you.
The Surprising Friend:
Most of our friends have a similar background to our own; they are about the same age, have a similar level of education, employment, or come from a similar cultural background. But we can enlarge our world and our perspectives by opening up for other people as well. By having friends from different backgrounds, friends with different cultures or a friend that is twice or half your age, you can learn many things about each other.

Alma L. (Spearwater) Benson of West Tisbury, died peacefully on Nov. 19 at the Martha's Vineyard Hospital after a brief illness. She was 93. Alma was the devoted wife of 55 years of the late Franklin W. Benson.
She was born on March 9, 1920 in Norwood to Carl and Alberta Spearwater. She attended Norwood schools and graduated from Bridgewater State College with a teaching degree. The superintendent of the Martha's Vineyard schools came to her college to interview for teachers. He said he had an opening in West Tisbury, so she jumped at the opportunity for employment, even though she had never heard of Martha's Vineyard. She hopped on the ferry and sailed into her future. Alma taught grammar school in West Tisbury for a couple of years in the early 1940s. She had fond memories of her students and truly enjoyed being a teacher.
Alma met her future husband shortly after she arrived on the Island. She had taken a room in his aunt's house in North Tisbury, and he would come to visit his aunt quite often. Soon Franklin proposed to her and in November of 1944, they eloped and were married by a Methodist minister in New Bedford. Alma wore an aqua street-length dress, brown hat and matching accessories. She finished out the school year teaching. Afterward, she did a little substitute teaching and became a homemaker. Her husband was a fisherman so she helped him mend nets and paint buoys. She often referred to herself as Franklin's "handyman." Together they made a lot of wonderful memories. She loved living on the Vineyard and was "grateful to live in this beautiful place." Alma enjoyed living off of the land, picking berries and eating the fish her husband caught. Eventually, she decided to go back to work. She was hired by E. C. Cottle lumber yard in Lambert's Cove and began a 45-year career. She continued to work until the spring of 2012 when she retired at the age of 92. This was a special place for her because of the customers, her fellow employees, and, especially, the Cottle family, who she always referred to as her second family.
She was an active member of the Lambert's Cove Church for many years and taught Sunday school. Recently, she was a member of the West Tisbury Congregational Church. She was also a longtime member of the West Tisbury Grange.
Alma enjoyed watching the birds and chipmunks at the feeder. She loved cats. One of her favorite pastimes was reading historical romance novels. She would never turn down an invitation to lunch or dinner at Linda Jean's Restaurant, where the waitresses served her well. Of course, she would need to be home in time to watch her favorite television show, Wheel of Fortune.
Besides her parents and husband, she was also predeceased by her two sisters, Shirley Harvey of West Virginia and Barbara Marden of Bellingham.
Auntie Alma is survived by her nieces and nephews, Margaret Maida, Donna Barry, Robert Anderson, Linda Carroll, Betsy and Michael Gately, Glen Medowski, Kent Medowski, Lorraine Henderson, Alberta Woodson, Carl Harvey and Cindy Marden. Grandnieces and grandnephews, Charles, Norman, Steven and Jeffrey Maida; Linda and Robert Coutinho; Ashley Medowski; Jennifer and Mark Wisniowski, and Michael Gately. Great-grandnieces and great-grandnephews, Zachary and Cody Coutinho; Madeline Fisher; Chelsea Maida, and Cole Wisniowski. She is also survived by many loyal friends, co-workers and neighbors. Alma will be missed by all who had the honor to know her.
A graveside service was held on Saturday, Nov. 23 at the Lambert's Cove Cemetery in West Tisbury, officiated beautifully by the Rev. Cathlin Baker.
Donations may be made in her memory to the West Tisbury Congregational Church Memorial Fund, P.O. Box 3000, PMB 3111, West Tisbury, MA 02575.
Arrangements were under the care of the Chapman, Cole and Gleason Funeral Home. Please visit ccgfuneralhome.com for online guest book and information.

A version of this blog was originally published by The Grid.
Dr. Seuss was banned from a B.C. school. Yes, that Dr. Seuss. A famous line from one of the beloved children's author's books -- Yertle the Turtle's "I know up on top you are seeing great sights, but down here on the bottom, we too should have rights" - was deemed too political to be displayed in an elementary school classroom.
This is due to an ongoing labour dispute between the B.C. Teachers Federation and the B.C. government, and the Prince Rupert School District director banned it before googling where the quote came from. If he had, he might have also see that Dr. Seuss intended Yertle's takeover of the pond and surrounding areas as an analogy for the Nazi invasion of Europe. In other words, this hapless bureaucrat has unwittingly aligned the B.C. government with Hitler. D'oh!
But to be fair, Yertle the Turtle can also be read as a prescient rebuke of income disparity that hits particularly close to home in our Occupy era. As can its polar opposite, Thomas the Tank Engine, which is totally in the tank for the one per cent.
My two-year-old had a bad cough not so long ago and we spent a lot of time on the fictional Island of Sodor -- reading books, watching Netflix and playing iPad apps based on The Railway Series by the late Rev. Wilbert Awdry, an Oxford-educated Anglican son of a vicar who grew up near The Great Western Railway.
The series' socio-economic subtext rose to the surface while reading Day of the Diesels, based on a 2011 Thomas and Friends TV movie. Awdry's kiddie-culture empire, begun back in 1945, has always been fuelled by Britain's oft-criticized class system, as it romanticized the posh steam engines while demonizing the new blue-collar diesel engines.
But this new Thomas tale took that even further with a surprisingly prescient occupation of the Steamworks by the lower-class Diesels.
"Steamies don't go to the Dieselworks," spat Thomas, with shocking venom for a kids' book. "It's dark and dirty, and Diesels can be devious." This class division is encouraged by rotund railway boss Sir Topham Hatt, an aristocratic industrialist in top hat and tails. Also known as the Fat Controller, he rules the rails with an iron fist and plays Steamies and Diesels against each other to ensure no one questions his authority.
Thomas' best friend Percy is portrayed as naïve for thinking, "It wasn't fair that they should live in a dirty, dingy place" and for staying overnight at the Dieselworks, something no steam engine had ever done before. Naturally, when the uprising begins with the Diesels taking over the Steamworks, they're portrayed as evil despite their legitimate claims. And when Sir Topham Hatt arrives, he plays the typical politico, saying he always planned to build a new Dieselworks, but "everything takes time. And everyone must wait their turn." Yep, in Sodor they practice trickle-down economics, and the Diesels are at the bottom.
The series has been criticized in the past for its right-wing bent. Most notably, I discovered, by Canadian academic Shauna Wilton, who wrote a paper attacking the show's "conservative political ideology" and rigid class system. The UK Spectator, meanwhile, argued that was precisely why kids like it: "Children, and especially little boys, are conservative, when they are not actually fascists."
But does that mean they have to be?
The award-winning book Click, Clack, Moo: Cows That Type tells the story of a bovine labour dispute. Finding a typewriter, the cows post a demand on the barn door: "Dear Farmer Brown, The barn is very cold at night. We'd like some electric blankets. Sincerely, The Cows." Ignored, the animals go on strike until a neutral third-party (the duck) negotiates a deal.
It's a cute story that sees the workers get some concessions without actually upending the power structure, unlike Yertle the Turtle, the most 99 per cent-friendly children's story of all time.
Dr. Seuss opposed consumerism (How the Grinch Stole Christmas) and discrimination (Horton Hears a Who) while promoting an environmental agenda (The Lorax), but he delves deepest into politics with Yertle. I read it a lot initially because Seuss' poetic dedication to anapestic tetrameter makes his writing the most enjoyable to read aloud.
But when the Occupy movement kicked off last fall, it took on a deeper meeting.
Yertle is the king of the pond, but initially "the turtles had everything turtles might need. / And they were all happy. Quite happy indeed." Then Yertle got greedy. As he was "the ruler of all [he] can see," Yertle decided he needed to see further, so he commanded his turtle subjects to stack themselves into a throne that would lift him higher. Eventually hundreds of turtles obeyed, moving him ever upward. But at the bottom was a plain little turtle name Mack. "Your majesty please, I don't like to complain / But down here below, we are feeling great pain. / I know, up on top you are seeing great sights, / But down here at the bottom we, too, should have rights."
In that now-controversial quote, Seuss was warning against Hitler-esque avarice, but also that increasing the gap between the powerful and powerless -- the haves and have-nots, if you will -- would lead to disaster. Eventually, this rather literal pyramid scheme collapses, leaving Yertle the king of the mud while the "turtles, of course... all the turtles are free / As turtles, and maybe, all creatures should be."
Now, my son is a toddler, and he just likes trains and turtles. But even if the political underpinnings of the Yertle and Thomas books are way over his head -- not hard, as he's only about three feet tall -- they still impart moral lessons. One reinforces class divisions and imperiousness while the other promotes equality and compassion.
But apparently equality and compassion aren't appropriate for B.C. classrooms.

Major sports all facing a long, bumpy ride
MALCOLM Speed, one of Australia's leading sports administrators, says the country's major sports must brace themselves for months of investigations into the use of performance-enhancing drugs and have no choice but to ride out the scandal.
Speed on Thursday met the heads of the governing bodies of Australia's seven major sports - the AFL, NRL, cricket, soccer, netball, tennis and rugby - a week after the Australian Crime Commission outlined concerns of illegal activity across Australian sport.
In his role as executive director of the Coalition of Major Professional and Participation Sports, Speed said the seven sports had now had time to digest the ACC report and had nominated the use of performance-enhancing drugs as their major concern, over the threats of illicit drugs, match fixing and links to organised crime.
Essendon, one player from one other AFL club and six NRL clubs are under investigation by the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority over the possible use of performance-enhancing drugs, but many other sporting figures claim they have been unfairly tarnished through the lack of specifics to have emerged.
Speed admitted there was frustration among sports administrators over the lack of detail, but said they had to await further findings.
''It's fair to say there's some irritation, but there's also a realisation that we don't yet know the full story so it's not appropriate to comment on what might be there and what might not be there,'' the former Cricket Australia and ICC boss said.
He said in the meantime, sports had to buckle up for a tough ride.
''It's going to take time. It's a matter of months, not weeks. It could be three months, it could be six months,'' he said.
FFA chief David Gallop made it clear after Thursday's meeting that Australian soccer had nothing to be alarmed about. ''I reiterate that no specific concerns have been raised in relation to football, but as a sport we will remain vigilant in this area,'' Gallop said. ''The AFL and NRL indicated that they are involved in ongoing issues, but that the focus is not on match fixing.
''All sports confirmed that they have strict drug and integrity policies in place. We will all review those policies as appropriate.''

Submission + - LightSquared Satellite Disabled by Last Week's Solar Storm (issi-us.net)
volts writes: Troubled LightSquared's primary Skyterra 1 satellite has been out of service since the solar storm on March 7. The company says it is 'working through the rebuild of the satellite tapping into the resources that were involved in the original program '. This development follows a stream of bad news including layoffs, default on payments, the resignation of CEO Sanjiv Ahuja and FCC rejection of a scheme to repurpose satellite frquencies for cellular data due to interference with GPS. Another kick in the teeth as company needs struggles to avoid bankruptcy.

This season several players will be making their first All-Star appearance as they head to Charlotte, N.C. for the 2013 MLL All-Star Game presented by Moe's Southwest Grill. Many of these first-timers are not new to the league, but they are just now finding their groove in Major League Lacrosse. They are posting impressive numbers that have earned them the opportunity to compete amongst the greatest lacrosse talent in the country. Ryan Young, a third year player out of Maryland, is the prime example of a player that is just now settling into his role and has been rewarded with a trip to the All-Star Game.
In 2013, Ryan Young has been one of the leaders on a very youthful Charlotte Hounds team. Young, in his first season with the Hounds, has already posted 29 points. That is already more points than he had earned in his MLL career prior to the 2013 season. He has presented himself as a complete athlete this season, putting up seven assists and 22 goals, posing as an essential team player.
In each of his seven games, Young has recorded at least two points. He posted a career best seven goals, and one assist for eight points in week three as Charlotte hosted the Rochester Rattlers and was responsible for seven of the Hounds' 10 points in the game. This is just one instance where Young has been so crucial to a team with such fresh talent. Heading into week ten Young holds the ten spot amongst point leaders in the league.
Young was a fourth round draft pick (23
rd overall) by the Long Island Lizards in 2011. He then spent two seasons with the team, playing in six games in 2011, and 12 in 2012. As an attackman he recorded five goals and six points in his first season with the Lizards. Young's production increased in 2012, posting 12 goals and 18 points. As he continues to improve season over season he has become a key player for the Charlotte Hounds after a trade in February of 2013.
As an attack at University of Maryland, Young boasted 163 college career points, 97 assists, and 110 ground balls. He also put together five hat tricks over his college career, 22 multi-goal games, and 48 multi-point games. In his senior year, 2011, he was named a USILA Third team All-American. On the academic side of things he graduated with a degree in criminal justice.
With four weeks left in the season and still with playoff hopes for the Hounds, Young has plenty of potential alongside teammate and captain, Matt Danowski. This could be just the beginning of Young's scoring this season and he may be just now heading into the prime of his career. Already at 29 points, he is a difference-maker for the Hounds.
You can catch Young in Charlotte, playing on his home turf in the 2013 MLL All-Star Game presented by Moe's Southwest Grill on Saturday, July 13. Don't miss out and watch it all go down in person by purchasing tickets at
majorleaguelacrosse.com. If you can't make it to the game, then tune in to ESPN2 for all the action.

Scratch my half time comment on Gooch. His poor form for Newcastle returned in the two bonehead plays he made to be sent off.
The US players need to become mentally tougher. Guatemala now has twice in three months given CONCACAF countries a blueprint for beating the US. Cheap shots and rough play are part of the game and without an enforcer like Pablo Mastroeni in the US midfield, Guatemala was able to really dictate second half play.
Landon Donovan showed some great spirit out there tonight playing on the right side.
Bocanegra and Onyewu cannot continue to play together on the back line when both are often so poorly positioned.
Eddie Johnson contributed nothing to the US attack. After a great attacking first half which lacked proper finishing, Johnson's entry to the game killed the US attack because he so badly mistimed his runs and played about as timidly as one can in an international football match.
Jay Demerit upon his entrance understood the physical nature of the game and unlike Onyewu he knew how to push and shove without being called for a foul or being booked. Perhaps that's why he has been successful in England unlike Gooch.
DeMarcus Beasley made some nice runs and created the few chances the US had in the second half but having someone so small and physically weak in the match is a major liability in a match like this.
Steve Ralston gave a nice effort after being forced to play right back. His positioning was good and he picked the proper times to go forward.
The US will not win the Gold Cup if they play like they did tonight.

The Associated Press
Jul. 26, 2013
WASHINGTON (AP) — Bryce Harper delivered the first game-ending homer of his career, a two-run shot in the bottom of the ninth inning Thursday that lifted Washington to a 9-7 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates and ended the Nationals' losing streak at six.
Harper drove a hanging slider over the wall just to the left of straightaway center with two outs off Bryan Morris (4-4), who earlier allowed a single to Kurt Suzuki.
Harper raised his right fist overhead as he rounded first base and was mobbed by a bouncing pack of teammates as he reached home plate.
Ian Krol (1-0) earned the win, despite being part of poor relief in the ninth that allowed the Pirates to erase a four-run deficit.
It was an eventful afternoon that included three errors by Pittsburgh infielders in the first inning and the ejections of Washington manager Davey Johnson and Pirates manager Clint Hurdle.
NEW YORK (AP) — John Buck drove in three runs and Zack Wheeler beat Atlanta for the second time in seven major league starts as the New York Mets split a four-game series.
Daniel Murphy and Marlon Byrd three hits apiece for the Mets. But the news wasn't all good for New York: Eric Young Jr., a spark in the leadoff spot since arriving last month, was pulled with pain in his right knee.
Wheeler (4-1) squandered a three-run lead by giving up homers to Dan Uggla and Freddie Freeman. But the prized rookie allowed only four hits in six innings after throwing 31 pitches in the first.
Kameron Loe (0-1) lost in relief.
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Lance Lynn allowed one run in seven innings and St. Louis scored three times in the third in a win over Philadelphia.
Matt Carpenter, Jon Jay and Matt Adams drove in runs for the Cardinals, who have won seven of nine.
Philadelphia has lost five in a row, tying a season high. The Phillies also dropped five straight from June 7-12.
St. Louis has the most wins in the majors at 62 and is a season-high 25 games over .500.
Lynn (12-5) had dropped four of his previous five decisions and was 3-4 with a 6.32 ERA in his past eight starts. Edward Mujica earned his 30th save in 32 opportunities. He struck out two and is tied with Pittsburgh's Jason Grilli for the most saves in the NL.
St. Louis scored three times on four hits off Philadelphia starter Kyle Kendrick (9-7) in the third.
DENVER (AP) — Rob Brantly scored on a wild pitch to break up a scoreless game in the eighth inning, Donovan Solano homered in a four-run ninth, and the Miami Marlins waited out a 93-minute rain delay to beat Colorado.
The Rockies, who dropped three of four to the Marlins, lost star Carlos Gonzalez after the third inning when he aggravated a sprain of the middle finger on his right hand. He is day to day.
Reliever Adam Ottavino (0-2) struck out the first two batters he faced in the eighth before Brantly singled. Greg Dobbs, batting for reliever Dan Jennings (1-1) singled and Ottavino threw a wild pitch in the dirt.
Steve Cishek got his 20th save in 22 chances.
MILWAUKEE (AP) — Carlos Quentin and Jesus Guzman homered and the San Diego Padres got 16 hits on their way to beating Milwaukee.
Will Venable added two doubles for San Diego and made a key catch in center field.
Edinson Volquez (8-8) worked into the sixth inning. Huston Street, the Padres' seventh pitcher, closed for his 18th save in 19 tries.
Yovani Gallardo (8-9) was tagged for six runs on eight hits and three walks in 3 2-3 innings.
PHOENIX (AP) — Aaron Hill drove in two runs with a homer and double, helping Arizona top the Chicago Cubs and earn a split of the four-game series.
Cole Gillespie got the start in left field for the Cubs after Alfonso Soriano was removed from the lineup, pending completion of a trade to the New York Yankees that was said to be close. Soriano missed his second straight game while the club worked on the deal.
Hill entered the game in a 4-for-31 slump over his previous eight games.
Wade Miley (7-8) worked 7 2-3 innings and didn't give up a run until the seventh. He allowed only five hits and struck out four despite being hit in the back of his lower right leg with a batted ball in the third inning.
Brad Ziegler earned his fifth save.
Chicago scored its only run when Wellington Castillo doubled in Gillespie.
Carlos Villanueva (2-7) took the loss after lasting five innings and allowing three runs and six hits.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Mat Latos threw 7 2-3 innings, and Cincinnati got home runs from Jay Bruce and Xavier Paul to beat the Los Angeles Dodgers, ending the NL West leaders' six-game winning streak.
Latos (10-3) allowed two runs — one earned — and eight hits with four strikeouts en route to his first victory at Dodger Stadium after going 0-5 with a 3.95 ERA in his five previous starts there.
Latos is 24-7 in 54 starts since Cincinnati acquired him from San Diego in December 2011. Aroldis Chapman got three outs for his 24th save in 27 chances.
Zack Greinke (8-3) gave up four runs and six hits over seven innings in his second attempt at his 100th major league victory.

December 12, 2007 > Crippsmas Place, Holiday Display and Charity Fundraiser
This December, visitors to the north Fremont streets around Cripps Place will again enjoy cheerful displays of holiday decorations and free candy canes. This is how the residents of this Centerville neighborhood celebrate and give back to the community, continuing a holiday tradition begun by former Cripps Place neighbor Robert "Spider" Cantley over 40 years ago.Six charities will benefit this year: Leukemia Lymphoma Society, Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, and four local charities: SAVE, HERS Breast Cancer Foundation, Kidango, and Adopt an Angel. Last year's Crippsmas Place event raised over $12,000 for these charities.Each December, Fremont homes on Cripps Place, and several surrounding, are decorated with traditional Crippsmas Place decorations - painted plywood with classic and new beloved children's cartoon characters, and lots of lights. Every year, new characters are added. Many families either stroll the sidewalks or slowly drive along the neighborhood streets with excited kids pointing out favorite and familiar cartoon characters and all the cheerful lights. At the end of Wellington Place, candy canes are handed out free by volunteer "elves." Any donations visitors wish to give to the charity of the day are also cheerfully accepted there.The neighbors do ask visitors to keep in mind the area is not an actual theme park and so there are no employees to clean up, so please do not litter.The schedule for this year's Crippsmas Place 2007 candy cane giveaways and charity collections will be for 17 days this year, Dec. 14-30, from 6 - 10 p.m.Each day's donations is dedicated to one of the six charities. Here's the schedule:Leukemia Lymphoma Society - "Fighting blood cancers" (Dec 23 - 24, 26 - 27, & 30)Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation - "Dedicated to finding a cure" (Dec 21 - 22, 28 - 29)SAVE - (Safe Alternatives to Violent Environments) "Because Peace Begins at Home" (Dec 18 - 19)HERS Breast Cancer Foundation - "Caring for women and families until there's a cure" (Dec 16 - 17)Kidango's "Gifts from the Heart" - Gifts & basics for low income and homeless children (Dec 14 - 15)Adopt an Angel - Gifts & basics for children in the Alameda County's Protective Child Services (Dec 20 & 25)Planning and much of the work is done by a dedicated group of neighbors, appropriately dubbed the "Crippsmas Club". Crippsmas Club Coordinator, Kate Amon, said "I'm proud to work with such wonderful neighbors to carry on the Crippsmas Place tradition. It's always a joy to see the happy families visiting, especially the enthusiasm of the children. Supporting several deserving charities on top of that makes the efforts even more worthwhile!"Volunteer opportunities are available Dec 15 - 30 to hand out candy canes or sing Christmas carols. We are also looking for volunteers to put up decorations for neighbors who requested help. Decoration set-up assistance will be the first two weekends of December.For more information, please call Kate Amon at (510) 821-5579, or e-mail her at email@example.com

You don't have to be a hoarder to know that sifting through old books and magazines can be like an archaeological dig. Each new pile or layer can provide clues on what was happening in and around your life whenever you started stacking.
Weeding through old media guides in the Channel 27 sports office, I stumbled across what now seems like an ancient relic, crammed with information about college basketball from a previous era: a copy of The Blue Ribbon College Basketball Yearbook published prior to the 1987-88 season.
You know, back when most kids played college ball for four seasons.
The BRCBY has become an industry standard. It originally was published by a University of Kansas dropout named Chris Wallace, who went on to become the general manager of the Boston Celtics and currently serves as the GM for the Memphis Grizzlies. The yearbook became known for copious amounts of information on every single Division I men's basketball program in the country.
It also included (and still does) info on small colleges, women's basketball, junior colleges and endless rankings of high school players, some of whom actually lived up to the hype afforded them.
The '87-88 Blue Ribbon book cover featured its pre-season Player of the Year, Danny Manning – a prescient pick, as Manning would go on to lead the Jayhawks to the NCAA championship, himself winning several national awards (splitting honors with Bradley guard Hersey Hawkins).
The Jayhawks were one of the teams chosen to make the 1988 Final Four and in fact, was the only one the magazine accurately predicted. Blue Ribbon said Indiana, North Carolina and Syracuse would join KU but in fact, the others were Duke, Arizona and top-ranked Oklahoma, which had twice beaten Kansas during the Big Eight regular season.
Kansas got its revenge in the finale, upsetting the Sooners 83-79.
Kentucky was listed among "The Next Wave" - teams that had a shot at crashing the Final Four. But alas, the Wildcats fell in the regional semifinals 80-74, upset by Villanova – coached by Rollie Massimino, whose Northwood team faces the Wildcats this Thursday night.
The marquee player on that UK squad was high-flying sophomore Rex Chapman, but it also included seniors Winston Bennett, Ed Davender, Cedric Jenkins, Robert Lock and Richard Madison, as well as sophomore gunner Derrick Miller.
Loaded? Sure it was, but what might have been even more impressive was Kentucky's freshman class that season. John Calipari is bringing in class after class of blue chippers, but nobody matched Eddie Sutton that year for sheer volume.
The new faces included sophomore Reggie Hanson (who had to redshirt his freshman season for academic reasons) and freshmen Eric Manuel, Jonathan Davis and LeRon Ellis, along with four others who become known as "The Unforgettables:" John Pelphrey, Deron Feldhaus, Sean Woods and Richie Farmer (for some reason was not listed in the yearbook on the UK page).
Manuel and Ellis were highly touted by Blue Ribbon, as well as every other publication in the country, as was Woods, considered a blue-chipper at point guard. The magazine included a High School Top 44 feature and two companion lists: "100 More Stars of the Future" and honorable mention All-Americas, which mentioned top players in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
The Top 44 was dedicated to Ben Wilson, Blue Ribbon's 1984-85 top prep player (and everybody else's that year). The subject of a recent ESPN "30-For-30" documentary, Wilson was murdered before he ever got a chance to play college basketball.
Blue Ribbon recognized three separate teams of high school stars as the best in the country, and almost every one of them went on to excel. The first team included Shawn Kemp, who would sign with Kentucky but left before ever playing for the Wildcats. Kemp tried to pawn a piece of jewelry that had been reported stolen by teammate Sean Sutton; it had been given to Kemp by an acquaintance who had gained access to the Wildcat Lodge and taken several items. In the wake of the investigation, Kemp transferred to a junior college.
Others on that first team included Alonzo Mourning, who would sign with Georgetown and spend a productive career in the NBA; Billy Owens, who went on to Syracuse and then 10 years in the league; future LSU big man Stanley Roberts (a disappointment in the pros), and Kenny Williams, who couldn't qualify academically and wound up in junior college before moving on to pro ball.
The second team: Future Wildcat Chris Mills, who would become one of the focal points of the NCAA's investigation of Kentucky; another future LSU Tiger, Chris Jackson; New York City point guard Kenny Anderson, who led Georgia Tech to the Final Four; Jimmy Jackson (the one who went to Ohio State, not Michigan) and Robert Werdann.
Werdann was a 6-foot-10 center who went on to play for St. John's, where he was never better than third-team All Big East, although he was drafted in the second round by the Denver Nuggets. He spent three seasons in the NBA and played several years of minor league ball.
What might be more interesting are the names included in the best of the rest. Among the "other Top 44" players was a kid named Robert Horry, who would go on to an All-SEC career at Alabama, and an incredible 16-year NBA run that saw him win seven championships. He's one of only nine players in league history to have collected that many rings, and one of just two to win titles with three different teams (John Salley is the other).
Among the "100 More Stars of the Future:" --
Louisville prep star Allan Houston, who followed his dad to Tennessee and became the Volunteers' all-time leading scorer, as well as a successful pro;
Damon Bailey, just a sophomore then but eventually the Naismith prep Player of the Year. Bailey may have been best known for being recruited as an eighth-grader by Bob Knight. He was a four-year starter at Indiana, which he helped lead to the '92 Final Four;
and a point guard from Portland who would go on to a solid, if modest, career at the University of Portland. Erik Spoelstra eventually would make it to the NBA –as a video coordinator and, eventually, head coach of the currently reigning NBA champion Miami Heat.
Not all became "stars of the future," of course. Not all of them could. And talent evaluation 25 years ago can't come close to where it is today. I asked two recruiting analysts who work the UK beat if they believe talent evaluators are better than they were back then.
Predictably, both said, "yes," and for the same reason – more chances to see high school kids play, often against each other.
"I believe they are," Jeff Drummond said, via e-mail. Drummond has worked for several recruiting services and currently is with FoxSports.com.
"There are so many events now where all the top players are brought together (Nike EYBL, NBA Top 100 Camp, AAU nationals, etc.) that national basketball analysts can really get a long look at the top talent all summer long in head-to-head competition. It's a big advantage over their football counterparts as well."
Chris Fisher covers UK and recruiting for the Cats' Pause on the 247 Sports Network. "I do think, unequivocally, the scouts, gurus and analysts do a better job evaluating talent now more than ever if for no other reason than they see these kids play more often than they ever have," he said.
"I was watching that Benji 30 for 30 the other night and
Bob Gibbons ranked Ben Wilson No. 1 in the country after one
appearance at ABCD Camp in 1984.
"It expanded some from there, but even just 15 years ago, you really
only had ABCD (Reebok), Nike and 5-Star camps where you could evaluate the best talent from across the country all in one place."
Now, talent evaluators can see top players competing head-to-head on a weekly basis, Fisher said, starting in the spring and throughout the summer at a variety of venues.
"To answer your question, yes," he said. "I think they do a better job and can get a better handle on a kid now because they have a lot more information to base their ranking/projection on."
Perhaps if they had had a little more information back in 1987, or an ability to see into the future, the Blue Ribbon experts might have rated more highly a skinny, 6-10 post player from Buffalo – a kid named Christian Laettner.

An actor and a gentleman
Internal Affairs (1990)
Grease (1972)
Arbitrage (2013)
Pretty Woman (1989)
From his breakout role as Grease's Danny Zuko in the West End 40 years ago, Richard Gere has been the consummate actor in every role – the odd bad guy, sure, but mostly the romantic lead. "I happen to really, really like women," he tells TARA BRADY
There's a moment in Arbitrage, the crazily taut new Wall Street thriller from writer-director Nicholas Jarecki, when murky hero Robert Miller (Richard Gere) refers to himself as a "patriarch".
Another actor might have enunciated the word with moustache-twirling élan. Miller, we realise early in the film, is a hedge-fund manager attempting to offload his greatly overvalued company before anyone notices that the books have been cooked to a crisp.
"Patriarch", in the circumstances, ought to sound like another villainous flaw in a character motivated by shady, one-per-cent capitalism.
Gere, however, is far too astute to play the role to pantomime effect. Many have noted a relationship between the 1980s-style tycoon at the heart of Pretty Woman and Arbitrage's grand scale huckster. But watching Miller shuffle between his dowager wife (Susan Sarandon), French mistress (Laetitia Casta, replete with Lauren Hutton-esque diastema) and financial wunderkind daughter (Brit Marling), another Gere role entirely comes to mind, namely American Gigolo's Julian Kaye.
Gere, accordingly, sounds out the word patriarch in Arbitrage as a needy cry for affirmation.
"I've thought about this," he says. "They are both very charming characters that have a lot of personal talent. Julian was a very twodimensional character. There is no centre to him. In classic movie terms, he was a woman's role. He was a female character. This character is an alpha male, but like most of those alpha males, there is something unfinished about him. There is something dominating which surely masks some kind of insecurity. And ultimately he's very dependent on all the women around him."
In a film jollied along by sleight of hand and reversals of fortune, the biggest surprise is that Gere's performance takes us in too. Miller (whom Gere has frequently likened to Bill Clinton) may be a swindling, philandering, whiskey-swilling suit who spends much of the film covering up an involvement in a fatal car crash, yet Gere never allows us to forget his human frailties or charms.
"Just one more chance," sings Billie Holiday on the soundtrack; we're with her.
"This is the kind of film we used to make in the 1970s a lot," says Gere, who came out of semi-retirement for Arbitrage.
"They were socially conscious films with great central characters the kind that spoke to the moment about relationships, about emotions, about language. Now that's a rarity. These guys are demonised right now; years ago, they were deified. The reality has to be somewhere in between. They represent the good and the bad in all of us."
Richard Tiffany Gere was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to Mayflower descendants Doris Ann and Homer George. Acting, he recalls, was not in the genes.
"I was from a different planet," he laughs. "I just enjoyed acting. I remember my mother early on – it was a big family, an Irish family – would take us to the movies. I enjoyed it. I saw it and understood it was a way of communicating to the world."
"Well I think so. I am definitely Anglo-Saxon. And I am sure there is Irish blood there. I remember my grandfather – he was a farmer in Pennsylvania – and he'd dance Irish jigs a little bit. I'm still hoping to find an O'Gere out there."
Today, Gere, a well-preserved 63-year-old, is back in London, the city where his career began in earnest with a 1973 West-End engagement as Grease's Danny Zuko. Returning to the US he soon found work in a series of seminal post-classical Hollywood pictures: Looking for Mr Goodbar, Days of Heaven and American Gigolo.
His earliest film work coincides with one of Hollywood's most heavily mythologised eras. Does he remember it as a "golden age"?
"Oh yeah," he says. "It was great. We were all beginning. We worked cheaply. We were doing things that interested us and we had an audience. And in the 1970s, that approach was embraced by the studios: they wanted a piece of this. We went through a great transitional period. What kind of films can we make? What kind of films should we make?"
Gere quickly established himself as a director's actor. He has, over the course of four decades in showbusiness, worked with Robert Altman, Todd Haynes, Francis Ford Coppola, Akira Kurosawa and Terrence Malick among others.
Does he subscribe to auteur theory I wonder?
"It's hard for me to say," says Gere. "All of the people you're mentioning are friends. If you want to put them in a category, that's cool. I can see it. But they're all individuals. They make very different movies. They're all challenging.
"Thank God they're challenging. That's how they make something special."
Against these screen credits, Arbitrage marks a directorial debut for Nicholas Jarecki, younger brother of film-makers Andrew Jarecki (Capturing the Friedmans) and Eugene Jarecki (Why We Fight).
Intrigued by the quality and possibilities of the script, Gere invited Jarecki to his hotel room for a meeting. Within months, they were shooting.
"It was a great script but you never know how these things are going to turn out," recalls Gere. "I met him. I asked a lot of questions. I pushed a lot of buttons. We improvised a lot of things.
"I said the only thing that's going to change your life is if you make a good film. So, don't give up, don't compromise. It wasn't until the American premiere that I realised this is one of those movies that turned out even better than I thought. The ensemble was superb. Everyone continued to find new things. Nick turned out to be a much better director than anyone could have expected."
Something similar might be said about Gere whose career has certainly been eventful. A proper, old-school movie star – he takes care to use my name and pay compliments – Gere has mastered both the comeback (see Internal Affairs, Primal Fear or The Hoax) and the risky venture (Jim McBride's dazzling, daft Breathless).
He is a long-time practising Buddhist – he once taught Lisa Simpson that desire is suffering – and one of the original celebrity campaigners for human rights in Tibet, ecological causes, the protection of tribal lands, and Aids awareness.
During the early 1990s, his four-year marriage to Cindy Crawford made him one of the most photographed men on the planet. These days, he lives quietly in upstate New York with Carey Lowell, his wife of 10 years, and their son, Homer.
Arbitrage is his first film in four years. Is that a reflection of changing priorities, I wonder, or of the quality of projects on offer?
"I think everyone is saddened by the lack of good scripts. And even this one, which is excellent, is independently financed, shot in 31 days. It was not easy to get this done at all. But there's another reason. I had the same agent since I was 21. He was the only agent I had until he died two years ago.
"My new guy knows everything that's going on. He has that kind of energy. He is my connection to the world. But I am going through this period which is almost like a marriage break up."
Does he still go to the cinema?
"I don't go as much as I used to. I remember going to the movies every single day and not thinking very much about it. But once you have kids, the films you watch tend to be animated."
Gere received a Golden Globe nomination for his work on Arbitrage. Amazingly, he has never been shortlisted for an Academy Award.One suspects this might be down to the actor's predilection for romantic comedy and drama.
As one of only a few "serious" actors unafraid to grace traditional women's pictures, Gere has starred in An Officer and a Gentleman, Pretty Woman, Nights in Rodanthe and Shall We Dance?
He knows there's a prevailing prejudice against such material, but he doesn't care.
"I happen to really, really like women," he laughs. "I like to spend time around them. So I am very happy to be in these movies. I'd be crazy, otherwise."

1 When the Lord restored the fortunes of[a] Zion,
we were like those who dreamed.[b]
2 Our mouths were filled with laughter,
our tongues with songs of joy.
Then it was said among the nations,
"The Lord has done great things for them."
3 The Lord has done great things for us,
and we are filled with joy.
4 Restore our fortunes,[c] Lord,
like streams in the Negev.
5 Those who sow with tears
will reap with songs of joy.
6 Those who go out weeping,
carrying seed to sow,
will return with songs of joy,
carrying sheaves with them.
1 Unless the Lord builds the house,
the builders labor in vain.
Unless the Lord watches over the city,
the guards stand watch in vain.
2 In vain you rise early
and stay up late,
toiling for food to eat—
for he grants sleep to[d] those he loves.
3 Children are a heritage from the Lord,
offspring a reward from him.
4 Like arrows in the hands of a warrior
are children born in one's youth.
5 Blessed is the man
whose quiver is full of them.
They will not be put to shame
when they contend with their opponents in court.
1 Blessed are all who fear the Lord,
who walk in obedience to him.
2 You will eat the fruit of your labor;
blessings and prosperity will be yours.
3 Your wife will be like a fruitful vine
within your house;
your children will be like olive shoots
around your table.
4 Yes, this will be the blessing
for the man who fears the Lord.
5 May the Lord bless you from Zion;
may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem
all the days of your life.
6 May you live to see your children's children—
peace be on Israel.
19 Do I mean then that food sacrificed to an idol is anything, or that an idol is anything? 20 No, but the sacrifices of pagans are offered to demons, not to God, and I do not want you to be participants with demons. 21 You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too; you cannot have a part in both the Lord's table and the table of demons. 22 Are we trying to arouse the Lord's jealousy? Are we stronger than he?
23 "I have the right to do anything," you say—but not everything is beneficial. "I have the right to do anything"—but not everything is constructive. 24 No one should seek their own good, but the good of others.
25 Eat anything sold in the meat market without raising questions of conscience, 26 for, "The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it."[a]
27 If an unbeliever invites you to a meal and you want to go, eat whatever is put before you without raising questions of conscience. 28 But if someone says to you, "This has been offered in sacrifice," then do not eat it, both for the sake of the one who told you and for the sake of conscience. 29 I am referring to the other person's conscience, not yours. For why is my freedom being judged by another's conscience? 30 If I take part in the meal with thankfulness, why am I denounced because of something I thank God for?
31 So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. 32 Do not cause anyone to stumble, whether Jews, Greeks or the church of God— 33 even as I try to please everyone in every way. For I am not seeking my own good but the good of many, so that they may be saved.

Sandy Oliver's Needhams | News
Sandy Oliver is a food historian and author.
For more information on Sandy Oliver's book, "Maine Home Cooking" click here: MAINE HOME COOKING
Sandy Oliver's Needhams
¾ cup mashed potato (unseasoned)
½ teaspoon salt
1 stick of butter or margarine
2 pounds of confectioners' sugar
½ pound of flaked coconut
2 teaspoons vanilla
Add salt to the mashed potatoes, and melt the butter in a double boiler over boiling water. Add the potatoes, sugar, coconut and vanilla. Mix well and spread in a buttered jelly roll pan (about half an inch thick.) Cool thoroughly until hard and then cut into small squares.
Chocolate Coating with Paraffin
12 ounces of chocolate chips
4 one-ounce squares of unsweetened chocolate
½ cake paraffin (two and a half by two and a half inches)
In the top of the double boiler melt the paraffin, then add the two chocolates. Stir well. Dip the squares in the chocolate, allowing them to finish dripping before placing on waxed paper to harden.
Chocolate Ganache
16 ounces of chocolate chips or chocolate with high fat content, chopped
Heavy cream
In a double boiler over but not in hot water, melt about half of the chocolate gradually. Do not let it get very hot. Remove from the heat and add the rest of the chocolate bits, and allow them to soften before you stir the mixture. If it seems stiff, put it back over the hot water, and dribble in a little cream, stirring gently until it is smooth and glossy. Brush generously onto the cooled potato and coconut mixture. Let cool, and cut into pieces. Or dip pieces of the candy into the Ganache with a fork, lift and let cool on a rack.
