Pat Narduzzi said friends don't steal other friends' recruits. The Michigan State defensive coordinator hints of a heating up of the recruiting rivalry between Urban Meyer and Mark Dantonio.
If Urban Meyer and Mark Dantonio are chewing some of the same recruiting real estate in Stark County at the same time, they're probably not meeting at the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Don't expect to see the two Big Ten coaches marveling over the Jim Thorpe statue together.
If there was a friendship, Dantonio's defensive coordinator Pat Narduzzi indicated there isn't any longer.
Meyer swiped McKinley recruit Se'Von Pittman away from the Spartans last month, a commitment that had been in East Lansing since the summer.
In recruiting, like love and war, all's fair.
Narduzzi was the guest speaker Monday at the Pro Football Hall of Fame Luncheon Club at Tozzi's on 12th. Wednesday is national signing day, and the Spartans will land two from Stark County. At least Narduzzi is expecting Marlington's Zach Higgins and McKinley's Jermaine Edmondson to sign with Michigan State.
Pittman would have given the Spartans a third. But a gentleman's agreement with former Ohio State head coach Jim Tressel is no longer in play.
"(The agreement) has been between the coaches," Narduzzi said. "Jim Tressel and Mark Dantonio would never call or talk to each other's commitments. People coach Dantonio knows well don't come in and take players away. When you do, you lose friendships over that."
Narduzzi said he would not speak for Dantonio and declined to say if there were a friendly relationship between Meyer and Dantonio. However, he indicated, Michigan State's coaching staff learned a lesson.
"It sets a tone and starts a recruiting rivalry," Narduzzi said. "I guess it's fair game. You don't want it to be that way, but that's how it is."
Michigan State had four assistant coaches assigned to recruit Ohio. An indication that a recruiting rivalry is heating up? Dantonio is assigning a fifth coach to Ohio.
Narduzzi never mentioned Higgins and Edmondson. NCAA rules prohibit coaches from talking about recruits until they're on campus, other than on signing day.
But the veteran defensive assistant made mention of not wanting recruits who change schools.
"We don't worry about a guy we had and didn't get," Narduzzi said. "We want guys who want to be with us. Our philosophy is to take our time and recruit the right way."
In fairness to Pittman, he indicated a leaning toward Ohio State before Tressel was fired in late May. After OSU's program spent much of the summer in a media firestorm, Pittman changed gears and verbally committed to Michigan State.
Then when Meyer was hired, he recruited Pittman, and McKinley's four-star defensive end switched his commitment.
Dantonio, who was on Tressel's national championship staff at Ohio State, has made a name for his program. Prior to taking over the Spartans, he turned around Cincinnati's program.
Now Michigan State is turning a corner and is again in the top half of Big Ten teams. Prior to Dantonio, the Spartans had not been to a bowl game for four straight years. The Spartans have been to a bowl game five straight seasons now. They have had consecutive 11-win seasons.
And Stark County is playing a role as well. In addition to Higgins and Edmondson, Northwest graduate Nate Klatt will compete for a starting spot on the offensive line.
Narduzzi said he's after blue-collar recruits. Without mentioning Terrelle Pryor by name, he mentioned the circumstances in which Pryor committed to Ohio State. It was several weeks after signing day and Pryor, already with a lot of attention, had the recruiting spotlight on him until he committed to Ohio State. Michigan State, Narduzzi said, always loses out on those players.
"I think it's a good thing we don't get those guys," Narduzzi said. "They end up being the ones who cause you chest pains for four or five years."

Subscribe To The Game Of Thrones IMAX Screenings Crushed At The Box Office Updates
I've already subscribed
As many would argue, there are few things that one could do to make Game of Thrones a better series. But that doesn't mean one's experience watching the show cannot be topped in some way, and the recent teaming between Warner Bros., HBO and IMAX is definite proof of that. This past weekend saw the epic fantasy series debut on humongous screens around the country, and its success was as big as the Mountain's skull.
Game of Thrones has taken in over $1.5 million from its IMAX run, bringing in an average of $7,323 from each of the 205 screens that played it. That average is right on par with a non-tentpole film's opening weekend – it would have been around $21 million had it opened on 3,000 screens – and it was the #15 release of the weekend, sandwiched between Birdman and Mortdecai. (The latter of which took in a dismal average of $538 from 2,648 theaters.)
In and of themselves, the numbers aren't suggestive of anyone getting rich off of this experiment. But what they do is give an ample amount of confidence to studio heads who might not have considered bringing large-scale series to larger-scale screens. And you bet your ass more are coming – like these, hopefully – and Warner Bros. distribution EVP Jeff Goldstein says they "see this as a future, and not just with HBO." In case you thought IMAX might be hesitant to get into this kind of thing, don't worry. Here's what IMAX CEO Greg Foster had to say, according to Deadline.
Game of Thrones was a lab experiment in IMAX that we'll continue to fine tune from what we learned. Our goal is to provide compelling content for our exhibitor partners 52 weeks out of the year.
The IMAX presentation consisted of the final two episodes from Game of Thrones Season 4, along with the very first Season 5 trailer. As you can imagine, both were received well by everyone, especially for the magnificent remastered conversions. The numbers showed that theaters in the bigger cities did better than those in suburban areas, so that'll be something they keep in mind in the future.
I think if Game of Thrones was released as a series of semaphore messages or Lite-Brite screens, it would still draw huge numbers. The show just attracts huge crowds in whatever capacity it's delivered. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if this initial success drives HBO and Warner Bros. to get the Season 5 premiere remastered for an IMAX release to coincide with the HBO debut on April 12 (as well as the release of the network's standalone service). It doesn't take a three-eyed raven to make it clear how good of an idea that would be.

When there's color, Banana Fish is filled with black and yellow. It dominates all covers of the series and most of its variations, it's on guidebooks and merchandises, and now, it's everywhere on the promo materials of the upcoming anime TV adaptation.
Like a warning sign, the meaning behind those colors alone tells us plenty about Banana Fish's world: poisonous, dangerous and obsessive.
Created by Akimi Yoshida, it was originally serialized on Bessatsu Shōjo Comic, running from 1985 to 1994. It was licensed and published in English by Viz Media, first in 1999 (seven volumes with flipped pages) and again in 2004 (all volumes with a re-translation). (Censured vocabulary varies, sometimes they say fuck, others ding-dong or doo doo.)
Banana Fish is unlike anything I've ever read. Its uniqueness is part of what makes it one of my favorite series; I can't think of any other manga that truly resembles it. When I think about it, I'm mostly reminded of American crime shows and movies, but those still never gave me everything this manga did.
Banana Fish it's queer, undeniably problematic and certainly a product of its time. It's dark, gritty and tragic: it features gangs, drugs, murder, several instances of rape, child abuse, mind manipulation, political corruption, and so on… And it doesn't always handle them in the best way. There's much to question about Yoshida's depiction of the messy, violent 80s New York, most suited to be considered a fantasy world, and it's absolutely not safe from racist stereotypes.
The more I read, the more bizarre and ridiculous the pacing and the stakes got, and the series will often ask for your suspension of belief… but I was never not entertained. It can get repetitive both with relatively harmless and with its worst elements, and it's probably longer than it should be. But at its heart, is so full of raw, visceral emotions, and incredible characters. Which means that even if some scenes were quite over the top, it was never not fucking me up (in good and bad ways).
The Look
Over the course of the series, Yoshida changes her art several times. It's not uncommon for an artist whose works run over the course of more than one decade. Banana Fish's style doesn't conform to any shojo art trend (it doesn't look like a shojo manga at all, actually). There are no sparkles, no flowers: only action lines, guns and blood. It does conform to general trends of the decades though. Just look at bulky, round-faced mid 80s Ash; and the slimmer –more "refined," if you will–, late 80s/90s Ash.
In my experience, Yoshida's art in the manga is rarely as striking as some of her work in the series' artbooks –or even some of the series' covers. Backgrounds aren't her strength, but I was somewhat charmed by her use of graffiti.
Yoshida struggles with same-face (mostly with the side characters) and I often found scenes to be visually average. Still, I never really had a problem with her style while reading it, and there are times where she gives us some truly memorable pages… and panels.
The Story
Once the story picks up its beat, despite all its flaws, it was almost impossible for me to put it down. It engrossed me, it captivated me and it completely destroyed me. It always comes back to haunt me once in a while, long after I've finished reading it.
The protagonist is Ash Lynx, a charismatic teenage boy with incredible intelligence and overall combat –and survival– skills, fitting for his role as the leader of one of New York's gangs. Everything starts when Ash older brother comes back from Vietnam in a catatonic state, courtesy of banana fish. The conflict it's driven by his desire to solve the banana fish mystery and break free from "Papa" Dino Golzine.
Dino is, in short, absolute scum. He's a mafia boss, a powerful influencer, and a child molester, who sees little boys as if they were nothing but toys meant for his own pleasure. Ash himself was nothing but a child sex slave, until his incredible smarts and resilience, among other qualities, became impossible to ignore. When Dino sees his potential, he "promotes" him and starts to train him as the heir of his criminal empire. Through each passing arcs, different antagonists come and go, but everything comes back to this scumbag. Dino's intelligence, resources and sickening obsession with Ash –he either wants to own or destroy him– makes him a truly threatening, detestable antagonist.
Sexual assault never truly banishes from the story –or Ash's life. It's not exactly easy to talk about the way it's used (I'm still unsure about how to feel about some parts) without dropping big spoilers. I can say this much though: Banana Fish always makes the effort to frame the abuse as the horrible, scarring, traumatic events they are. We never see it when it happens, but the times you can tell something happened, it's always disturbing and chilling. (If depictions of sexual assault are uncomfortable or triggering for you, I would advice to completely stay away from the series. It happens too many times.)
Death is the one thing Banana Fish doesn't shy away from. Death is everywhere, sometimes haunting and heartbreaking, sometimes quite over the top. Sometimes quick, just for the sake of survival. It's an action-heavy series; when it's not entertaining us with violent rampages, it's either a battle of wits or running away from the antagonists. It rarely ever stops to take a break.
Aiding Ash in the quest to solve the banana fish mystery it's Max Lobo, a war veteran, and a journalist. He is a key player in the series –either when he's discovering harsh realities in Ash's life, when he's being part of some of the funniest moments or, of course, through his own character arc.
Taking place in New York means that we get to see different ethnicities. Plenty of the key players are white, but we also have Japanese, Chinese and African-American characters. As I mentioned before, I'm afraid that Banana Fish it's not free of racist stereotypes. Still, we do get some damn good character, particularly with the gang leaders, like Shorter –leader of the Chinese gang and one of Ash closest friends– and Sing Su-Lin, his second in command.
And then there's Eiji. Sweet, sweet Eiji. But I'll get there in a second.
Ash & Eiji
As much as I am into gritty, crime stories, the relationship between the two main characters is one of my favorite parts of the manga –and one of my favorite relationships, period.
As we can see in a lot of the Magnificent 49ers' works or other classics like Utena (to give some examples), historically, shojo can be a progressive genre when it comes to gender and sexuality (regrettably, it can also have its own case of Gay Panic…). So I'm inclined to think that one of the things that made Banana Fish fitting for a shojo magazine–besides being basically Yoshida's home–it's the nature of the incredibly emotional relationship between its two main leads (and perhaps, the beautiful boys. The late River Phoenix inspired Ash's looks, after all. This doesn't mean there's never action in shojo, though!).
Eiji is a Japanese college student, two years older than Ash, but far more innocent. He comes to America as a cameraman assistant at first, but ends up entangled in Ash turbulent life. He's an extremely kind soul whom I absolutely adore, and he's not above being a little shit when they test him enough.
Ash and Eiji, in some ways, conform to more traditionally feminine roles. Other characters often underestimate Ash because he's "too pretty." Eiji, who's pretty much a normal boy unexpectedly trapped in a world of crime, it's often a "damsel in distress." Perhaps I'm alone on this one, but they sometimes reminded me of some romantic tropes I've seen, mostly in American cinema. Like the hardass, one man army dude, whose only real weakness is the woman he loves. Or the wore down, highly capable film noir hero (or anti-hero) who cannot help but have a soft spot for that one lady. Here, Eiji fits the woman's role instead.
Although they reminded me of those tropes, they're still something unlike anything else. They have a deep, multilayered relationship that's built throughout the series slowly, and with a surprising amount of care. They're each other's best friends, the one person they care about the most in the world.
The only times Ash is truly able to act his age is when he's around Eiji. He's the one beacon of light in his dark world, and for Eiji, Ash is a source of strength and inspiration, among other things. They don't really need to tell us that there's nothing they wouldn't do to keep the other safe and happy (even if they do): their actions often tell us that much. Their love might be asexual, but it has plenty of romantic layers.
Days since Banana Fish made me cry: 0
A couple of paragraphs is honestly not enough to convey everything those two mean to each other (and to me) and the role the relationship fulfills in the story. But I'm not here to spoil y'all the ride, so we are going to have to settle with this. (Edit: I wrote about their relationship including external material and influences here. Big spoilers are properly marked, but proceed at your own risk.)
Banana Fish is a milestone of shojo –no, of manga for damn good reasons. It's a crazy, bizarre ride from start to finish; it's grim, haunting, occasionally funny and unexpectedly touching. Will it make you cry? Absolutely. It is flawed? Hell, yes. Would I still recommend it? After a nice, long list of content warnings (presumedly this post and some additional spoiler-heavy warnings)… yes. What a story, folks. What a story.

Watched Upon
In the cold winter night,
the seven stars of matariki shine bright.
only once a year the seven shine,
waiting for someone else to fall in line.
Fall in line of men before
Seven brothers who love and adore
Seven sisters,
urging to be free,
urging to find more
men to deceive.
To feel the sun on their face
To feel the rain trickling down
to bring back their race
trying to put mankind beneath them.
Festive nights, bond fire in the night fires light
shining so bright.

Little Women by Louisa May Alcott
I am a 14-year-old girl and just got around to reading Little Women about a year ago. It is a great American classic written by Louisa May Alcott. It is about the four March sisters: Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy. They live in New England during the Civil War. They are poor, but they try to make the best of it as they grow and learn. We follow them through good times and bad as they, with help from Marmee and Laurie (their next-door neighbor), bear their own unique burdens. Meg's is poverty, Jo's is her temper, Beth's burden is not being able to play on a piano, and Amy's is her unaristocratic nose. (as funny as that sounds) You'll fall in love with Jo's oddities just as much as with Beth's gentil manners. It is a great book that everyone should read!

Uh Oh. Researchers discover lots of huge (invasive) lionfish living deeper than expected
Lionfish. For anyone familiar with this species, you'll know that they have incredible appetites. That's fine when they live in the Pacific where they evolved, and their numbers are kept in check. But when they are living where they don't belong, and have no predators, their presence spells disaster.
Introduced to the Atlantic in the 1990s, lionfish have made quick work of eating everything in sight, reducing some fish populations by more than 80 percent. A serious problem for conservationists for decades, it was thought that these fish would at least be hanging around coral reefs in shallower areas, where it is easier to catch them. But researchers studying this invasive species discovered a big problem -- bigger fish, lots of them, living deeper than that many of that size were expected to be.
Though some lionfish were expected to be spotted, the number and size of those found came as a surprise to researchers from Oregon State University who recently dove down to 300 feet during a survey of the species. The researchers were the first to use a deep-diving submersible to study lionfish. But why does this discovery present such a serious problem for those hoping to find ways to eradicate this glutenous species?First of all, bigger fish eat more. That means these bigger lionfish could -- and will -- eat more fish at varying depths, including migrating up to the sensitive coral reefs and dining on fish populations there. But there's more (literally) to it.
"In many fish species, a large, mature adult can produce far more offspring that small, younger fish. A large, mature female in some species can produce up to 10 times as many offspring as a fish that's able to reproduce, but half the size," reports Oregon State University.
That means not only will these fish eat more, but they're likely to have a lot more babies. And there is yet another problem with these many large fish living at greater depths. Part of the eradication efforts include putting lionfish on the menu, to increase how many are caught for food. But in such deep water, the strategy isn't as practical -- which means new strategies for catching the fish must be deployed.
Stephanie Green, the David H. Smith Conservation Research Fellow in the College of Science at Oregon State University, who participated in the dives, says of the discovery, "This was kind of an 'Ah hah!' moment. It was immediately clear that this is a new frontier in the lionfish crisis, and that something is going to have to be done about it. Seeing it up-close really brought home the nature of the problem."
According to OSU, "Aside from the rapid and immediate mortality of marine life [through the voracious appetite of the lionfish], the loss of herbivorous fish will also set the stage for seaweed to potentially overwhelm the coral reefs and disrupt the delicate ecological balance in which they exist. This newest threat follows on the heels of overfishing, sediment deposition, nitrate pollution in some areas, coral bleaching caused by global warming, and increasing ocean acidity caused by carbon emissions. Lionfish may be the final straw that breaks the back of Western Atlantic and Caribbean coral reefs, some researchers believe."

Richard Hainsworth
You have reached a page which will soon be archived. Please see Richard's new faculty bio.
Richard Hainsworth is English from a Baha'i family. He was born in Uganda, Africa, to which his father had pioneered in 1951. In 1982, he and his wife Corinne moved to Moscow in the Soviet Union. When the anti-religious laws were abolished in 1989, Richard served on the first LSA of Moscow in 1990, the first NSA of the Soviet Union in 1991, the Regional SA of Russia, Armenia and Georgia in 1992, and the first NSA of Russia in 1993. In 2000, Richard founded a bank credit rating agency in Russia, and became a leading authority on banks in Russia. He and his company were sued for US$20 million by a Russian bank for analyst comments following their down-grade by the rating agency. The case was won on appeal on the basis of freedom of speech in Russian law. An important part of assessing the credit-worthiness of any institution, whether it is a bank, a corporation or a government agency is understanding the way it is governed, and by whom it is governed. The principles that decision-makers use in their operations and the cultural environment in which the people forming the corporation work are fundamental to an understanding of the risk of the corporation, and its financial results reflect these 'soft' foundations. Culture is in turn affected by religious history. Corinne and Richard now reside in Hong Kong, are learning Cantonese, and have founded a small engineering design company to create robotic transport units for disabled people.
They have three children, in Japan, England, and Italy, and three grandsons.

The NEDA organization is taking steps to spread awareness & is encouraging people to take 3 minutes out of their day to take a simple, confidential screening quiz.
The point of this screening is for people (& their loved ones) to begin recognizing potential eating disorders b/c there is incredible treatment available to those who need it!
I want to make the point that eating disorders & disordered eating in general can be much broader than how we typically think of it. When we hear eating disorder, we think anorexia or bulimia; however, binge eating can be a very serious issue as well.
We tend to approach weight & eating issues with diets, exercise, & extreme lifestyle changes; however, working with a professional on the mental health aspect of eating disorders is far more healthy, productive, & long-lasting.
Concerning eating behaviors are very prevalent in our culture whether it is fast food or fad diets, Netflix binges or marathon races, giant portions or calorie counting. If we are honest with ourselves, it becomes apparent that we do not have a healthy mindset when it comes to food & body image; and I know this from personal experience.
The good news is that it is possible to make lasting changes with the help of professionals. No, not personal trainers. No, not self-help gurus. I am talking about licensed counselors who understand the importance of diving deeper & helping you live a better life.
#NEDAwareness Week is all about taking those steps & acknowledging that this is a significant issue impacting many of us. You can join the conversation on social media by using the hashtag #NEDAwareness

Ceviche is originally a Latin American dish, Spain adjusted the recipe by giving it a Mediterranean touch, adding lemons and onions. My added touch of mango gave the ceviche a special sweetness. I serve mine with toasted bread rubbed with a garlic clove, and an ice cold beer.
Cod Ceviche
1/2 pound cod
juice of 3 or 4
lemons, 3/4 cup
2 limes
3 scallions, chopped
3 garlic cloves, crushed
1 teaspoon salt
fresh ground pepper

1 tomato, chopped
1/2 mango, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Wash and cut up fish into small chunks, place in a small low bowl, set aside. In a small bowl combine fresh lemon and lime juice, on a board crush garlic and salt together to form a paste. Add paste to the juice along with fresh ground pepper, and onions stir and pour over fish. Cover and marinate for at least 2 hours in refrigerator. Add capers, tomatoes, mango and parsley, stir gently and serve on toasted bread.

Hollyoaks bosses have confirmed the full details of the soap's new Savage clan, who will cause chaos in the village when they arrive on screen next month.
As reported earlier today, viewers will soon be introduced to Liberty Savage's (Abi Phillips) family for the first time since her debut on the soap late last year.
James Atherton (pictured) has taken on the role of geeky Will Savage, his first major TV role since studying at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA).
Atherton commented: "It all happened really quickly and I'd started filming before I had time to think. Everyone's just been so friendly and made it really easy to settle in. Will is awkward, shy and a hopeless romantic that hopefully the viewers will fall in love with."
Meanwhile, following a stint in the West End musical Wicked, Danny Mac has also joined the cast as Liberty and Will's brother Dodger Savage. The character quickly causes a stir in the village with his wily ways and soon has the local ladies eating from the palm of his hand.
Speaking of his casting, Mac explained: "I am over the moon, the last few weeks have been crazy and Dodger's kept me on my toes every second. It's exciting never knowing what he's going to get up to next, and believe me the limits are endless. I can't wait for people to meet him!
"The cast are such a close family and have been very welcoming to us lads. I am proud to be a Savage and live in anticipation every moment to see what the next move is for the family!"
Finally, actor David Kennedy is to appear as the siblings' father Dirk Savage, who shares many traits with Dodger and tries to charm show regular Myra McQueen following his arrival on screen. Kennedy has previously appeared in EastEnders and Holby City, as well as portraying Billy 'Two Hats' in ITV's William and Mary.
A Hollyoaks statement teased: "The new family will take the village by storm and are set to rub all the McQueens up the wrong way. The Savage family get evicted from their home when Dirk can't keep up with the payments. Liberty is furious to come home and find her house all boarded up but big brother Dodger has a new house for them to live in!
"While the McQueens are away on holiday, Dodger moves his family into the empty house and declares squatters' rights! How will the McQueens react to their new housemates?"

Bruins Open Pac-10 Play Against USC
Sept. 16, 2003
Complete Release in PDF Format
Download Free Acrobat Reader
The UCLA women's volleyball team opens its Pac-10 and home schedule this Friday night as the Bruins play host to defending NCAA Champion USC at 7 pm in Pauley Pavilion. The Bruins are 8-1 this season and have won their last six matches, holding all of those opponents to attack percentages under .200, including two opponents who had more errors than kills in the match. Conversely, UCLA has had an accurate offense so far this season, hitting below .300 just twice in nine matches. UCLA has hit over .400 on two occasions this season.
Bruins Win Time Warner Cable Texas Invitational
The Bruins earned their second tournament title last weekend, sweeping Texas-Arlington, Texas A&M Corpus Christi and Texas en route to the Time Warner Cable Texas Invitational tournament title. UCLA's Brynn Murphy was named the tournament MVP, while fellow Bruins Krystal McFarland and Chrissie Zartman were named to the All-Tournament team. Murphy hit .479 for the weekend while averaging 4.22 kills/game, 0.33 aces/game and 0.89 blocks/game. She led the team with 45 points. McFarland played in seven of the team's nine games and averaged 8.86 assists/game while piloting the Bruin offense to a .322 attack percentage for the weekend. Zartman led the Bruins with 39 digs in tournament play, good for a 4.33 per-game average.
UCLA vs. USC ('03 Record: 9-0, 0-0 Pac-10)
The Bruins hold a 50-40 advantage in the all-time series against the Women of Troy. USC won both meetings between the two teams last season. The defending NCAA Champion Women of Troy are 9-0 this season and are coached by Mick Haley. They have three players averaging over 3.00 kills/game, including Keao Burdine (3.71), Emily Adams (3.59) and April Ross (3.48). USC has yet to lose a game in the 2003 season.
The Lexus Gauntlet: UCLA vs. USC
Friday's match is the first between UCLA and USC for the third annual Lexus Gauntlet Trophy competition. The Bruins won the award for the 2002-03 year, while USC was presented with the inaugural award following the 2001-02 athletic year. Women's Volleyball accounts for 10 points in the Gauntlet standings. The school that wins Friday's matchup will accumulate five points in the standings, with the remaining five awarded following the Nov. 21 matchup at the Lyon Center. There are a total of 110 points available, distributed over 18 sports. For more information on the Lexus Gauntlet, visit www.gauntlettrophy.com
Head Coach Andy Banachowski
In his 37th season on the Bruin bench, UCLA head coach Andy Banachowski remains one of the top coaches in his profession. On Sept. 1, 2001, in Hawaii, he became the first collegiate women's volleyball coach in history to record 900 career wins, and is just the second collegiate volleyball coach for either gender to reach that milestone. UCLA men's coach Al Scates, for whom Banachowski was a setter during his collegiate career, posted his 1,000th career win in February, 2000. The first women's volleyball coach to be inducted into the National Volleyball Hall of Fame in Holyoke, MA, Banachowski currently has a career record of 947-236 (.801), and has coached the Bruins to six national championships, including three NCAA titles.
Next Week for the Bruins
UCLA will finish out a three-match homestand, its longest of the 2003 season, with matches against Oregon State and Oregon in Pauley Pavilion next Thursday and Friday. Both matches are scheduled for 7 pm starts.
Murphy Named MVP of Texas Invitational
Junior Brynn Murphy is leading the Bruins with 111 kills and 3.96 kills per game through non-conference play, and is second on the team with a .410 attack percentage and 0.93 blocks per game. She has already posted career-high numbers for kills (17 at Hawai'i), aces and points (20.5 at Hawai'i) this season. Murphy has played primarily in the front row, as she is generally replaced by a libero while in the back row. Murphy was named to the All-Tournament Team at all three of UCLA's pre-conference tournaments, the Hawaiian Airlines Classic and the Ruby's Montana Invitational. At the HAL Classic, she led the Bruins with 41 kills (3.73/game) while hitting .307 and recording 10 blocks for an 0.91 per-game average. In Montana, Murphy's numbers were again impressive, as she averaged team-highs of 4.00 kills per game, a .509 attack percentage and eight blocks for a 1.00 per-game average. Murphy was named the uclabruins.com Student-Athlete of the Week after her MVP performance at the Time Warner Cable Texas Invitational, where she had 4.22 kills per game and a .479 attack percentage in UCLA's three victories.
Cullen Named MVP in Montana
Heather Cullen earned MVP honors at the Ruby's Montana Invitational Sept. 5-6, downing 32 kills in nine games with a .397 attack percentage and 12 digs. Cullen led all players with her 17 kills against Idaho in UCLA's tournament opener, hitting .600 (17 K-2 E-25 TA). On the season, Cullen is second on the team with 73 kills for a 2.81 per-game average, has nine service aces (0.35 average) and has 17 blocks for a 0.65 per-game average. She trails only Brynn Murphy in points, as Cullen checks in with 91.5 on the season. Cullen has also set numerous career-high marks so far this season, posting a 17-klill, 19.5 point outing against Idaho on Sept. 5, along with a 15-dig performance in UCLA's five-game loss at Hawai'i.
Ringel Remains Among UCLA's Kill Leaders
A heavy hitter, Brittany Ringel continues to pound down kills with a 2.82 per-game average through UCLA's non-conference play. Replaced by a libero in the back row, Ringel has served five aces this season. She had three aces on Sept. 6 at Montana, setting a new career-high mark. She is averaging a dig per game, and has scored 72.5 points this season.
McFarland Setting Bruins in 2003
Redshirt junior Krystal McFarland is one of UCLA's tri-captains for the 2003 season (with classmates Heather Cullen and Chrissie Zartman), and has been UCLA's primary setter through the early parts of the season. McFarland leads the Bruins in assists, averaging 10.26 per game, and has also averaged 1.78 digs and 0.48 blocks through her first 2 games on the floor. McFarland set the Bruins through the Hawaiian Airlines Classic, but stepped aside through parts of the Montana and Texas Invitationals as sophomore Haley Jorgensborg took over setting duties.
McFarland has already posted a career-high blocking match, recording five block assists at Hawai'i on Sept. 1, a match in which she also posted a career-high with 7.5 points.
The Wright Stuff on the Block
The only senior on the 2003 Bruins to see regular playing time, Cira Wright earned All-Tournament honors at the season-opening Hawaiian Airlines Classic. Wright leads the team averaging 1.12 blocks per game, and is the only Bruin topping the 1.00 blocks/game plateau. Wright has already posted a career-high digging match, recording eight digs in UCLA's five-game loss to then-No. 2 Hawai'i on Sept. 1, a match where she played the whole way around the court for Banachowski's Bruins.
Zartman Digs Role as Bruin Libero
Named the 'Top Libero' at the Ruby's Montana Invitational despite playing the position for just seven of UCLA's nine tournament games, junior Chrissie Zartman continues to shine as the Bruin libero. Zartman leads the team with 3.90 digs per game. She opened the season with a 4.45 digs per game at the Hawaiian Airlines Classic over Labor Day weekend, and went on to average 4.33 digs/game as she earned All-Tournament honors at the Time Warner Cable Texas Invitational, UCLA's final tournament of the regular season. Zartman is the only Bruin to have played in all of UCLA's 29 games entering conference play.
An accomplished beach volleyball player, Zartman has earned her AAA beach rating, and won a gold medal at the World University Games this past summer while playing with long-time partner Tracy Lindquist.
Freshman Firepower
Four of UCLA's five freshmen have seen game action through the first two weekends of the 2003 season. Colby Lyman had a big first match against Louisville, posting 14 kills, 14 digs, four blocks and 16 total points with a .478 attack percentage. She started all three matches in Honolulu. She did not participate at the Time Warner Cable Texas Invitational due to injury, but she is cleared to return to the lineup for conference play.
Becky Green came off the bench in UCLA's five-game loss to Hawai'i on Sept. 1, turning in an impressive performance, particularly during the last two games of the match. Green then set career highs in nearly every category in the Sept. 5 match against Idaho at the Ruby's Montana Invitational, turning in nine kills, four digs, three block assists and 11.5 points with a .467 attack percentage. Her three aces in the tournament finale against host Montana are also a career best. Green continued her impressive play at the Texas Invitational, downing 25 kills in her eight games on the floor and serving seven aces for a 0.88 per-game average. Green leads the Bruins with 11 aces on the season for an 0.52 per-game average.
Katie Carter saw limited action at the Hawaiian Airlines Classic, then earned her first career start against Boise State on Sept. 6 at the Ruby's Montana Invitational. Carter posted several career highs in that match against the Broncos, recording 11 kills, two service aces, four digs and 13 points in the match. She is averaging just over two kills per game so far this season. In Texas, Carter was second on the team with a 3.33 kills per-game average, while contributing 2.00 digs/game and two block assists for 22 points on the weekend.
Laura Kroneberger played libero in game three against Boise State on Sept. 5, recording her first career dig in the match. Kroneberger was unable to play at the Hawaiian Airlines Classic due to a pulled abdominal muscle, but is once again capable of playing. She played in six games in Texas, recording nine digs and an assist.
Injury Update
* Freshman Rachell Johnson is out of the lineup with a broken finger in her right hand. The injury occurred in practice on Aug. 24, and will sideline Johnson for at least four weeks.

|Stefanie Pemper, right,
coached Courtney Trotta and her teammates to the 2004 title game,
compiling a 30-1 record.
Bowdoin athletics photo
Bowdoin women's basketball coach Stefanie Pemper has accepted
the position of head women's coach at the Naval Academy.
In her 10 seasons at Bowdoin, Stefanie Pemper established the Polar Bears as one of the premier Division III programs in the nation, accumulating a record of 235-48 (.830). The most successful coach in Bowdoin women's basketball history, Pemper led the squad to NCAA bids in nine of her 10 seasons, including an incredible six-year stretch from 2002-07.
The Polar Bears reached the Elite Eight each of those seasons, posting a mark of 164-14 (.921) and playing before some of the largest crowds in Division III basketball. They won the NESCAC championship in each of those campaigns and reached the NCAA championship game in 2004.
"Stefanie Pemper is a wonderful teacher," said athletic director Jeff Ward. "Her teams had unbelievable success on the court, but her ability to help young women grow and flourish as people is even more impressive."
"What an amazing 10 years it has been," said Pemper. "I owe Bowdoin so much for giving me the opportunity to be a head coach, and I will miss this place tremendously. The success of our program has always been a collaborative effort. ...
"I want to thank our players and our alums for all they've done for me and the program. I've always encouraged them to treasure their four years of college basketball and to take ownership in the team, to make it theirs. They've always done that and that's why the program is special. The team is in a great place with a talented group returning and a wonderful class of recruits coming. We weathered through a year of challenges this past season with great trust, focus, and maturity. Jeff will hire a fantastic coach and a very special senior class of Jill Anelauskas, Alexa Kaubris, and Maria Noucas, will provide wonderful leadership through the transition. This program is very healthy."
A national search has begun for Pemper's replacement.

Lattice computations break down into large tasks, requiring massively parallel "capability" computers, and smaller tasks needing several smaller "capacity" machines. CPU clock rates ceased to increase around 2004, due to the heat produced (the power wall). A low power/performance ratio is now the most important design parameter of supercomputers, with a move towards multicore CPUs. Two levels of parallelism, on- and off-chip, complicate the networking of such processors. Also, the communication bandwidth has to keep up with the increased on-chip compute-power.
The teams of Regensburg University, Wuppertal University and IBM, in collaboration with DESY, the Jülich Supercomputing Center and Ferrara University, have developed the QPACE supercomputer based on the IBM PowerXCell 8i (Enhanced Cell/B.E) processor. Universitá di Parma is part of a scientific collaboration aiming at defining architecture and software environment of a machine in the Pflops range. Eurotech collaborates with them on HPC development (Aurora supercomputer), based on Intel processors (Nehalem and follow-ups). The University of Edinburgh team collaborates with IBM Research USA in the design of a future BlueGene architecture. Members of the WG are discussing follow-up machines whose development will start in 2011. The final design choices have not yet been made.

Lattice QCD codes that combine end-user-friendly, cross-platform compatibility with highly optimised, machine-specific assembler code for computationally-intensive core routines are needed. The free open source Chroma/QDP++/QMP package aims at this. New physics application software needs to be added to Chroma and, to exploit new computers and compilers, efficient assembler routines need to be written and existing low-level routines upgraded or migrated. In particular, the thread-level-parallelism of multicore CPUs needs to be optimally utilized.

Physical processes can often be factorized into high momentum Wilson coefficients that are calculable in (lattice) perturbation theory ((L)PT) and non-perturbative matrix elements. LPT can be done in the traditional diagrammatic way or with the numerical stochastic method (NSPT). The two methods are often complementary.

The hadron spectrum is one of the key tests of our understanding of non-perturbative aspects of QCD, and Lattice QCD predicts states (e.g. glueballs, quark-gluon hybrid states, tetraquarks, excited baryons etc.) which are being sought experimentally. Recent advances in all-to-all propagator techniques allow us to incorporate the previously difficult flavour-singlet sector with high precision, extend our operator basis to include multi-quark states and start to explore strong decay channels and scattering states.

Hadrons and particularly the nucleon are the basic constituents of visible matter in the universe and their structure is intensively studied experimentally. It is vital that these programmes are supported by theoretical calculations of the nucleon's unpolarised, polarised and transversity structure functions, disentangling valence, sea quark and gluon distributions, as well as by calculations of generalised parton distributions (GPDs) and distribution amplitudes. QCD calculations of EM transition rates will help to pin down the nature of narrow charmonium resonances. EM transition form factors between baryons are of major experimental interest as well.
QCD weak matrix elements are needed to relate experiment to Standard Model parameters and, eventually, to identify new Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) physics. Accurate theoretical predictions for the D meson sector are needed (as evidenced by the very recent discovery of CP violating D-decays).
Person-in-charge: Edwin Laermann

At high temperatures and/or high baryon densities, QCD undergoes a transition from the hadronic phase to the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) phase. The high-temperature transition took place during the evolution of the early universe, while the high-density phase(s) may be realized at the cores of supermassive stars. A major goal of the experimental programmes at RHIC, LHC and FAIR is to study the properties of these transitions and of the QGP.
Proper interpretation of the experimental results requires a good understanding of the thermodynamics of strongly interacting matter. Extrapolating results to conditions not easily reached in the laboratory makes theoretical studies essential. Only by an interplay between theory and experiment can we obtain all the information needed e.g. for certain dark matter relic density computations in cosmology and the analysis of superdense systems in astrophysics.

The spontaneous breaking of chiral symmetry and quark confinement are the two fundamental non-perturbative features of QCD. The former is almost entirely responsible for the masses of light hadrons while heavy quarkonia can be understood in terms of a confining potential. These two properties of the QCD vacuum are preserved in the large-N limit of QCD. In SUSY QCD, the large-N limit at large 't Hooft coupling is thought to be connected to weakly coupled supergravity near the surface of five dimensional anti-de Sitter space (AdS-CFT correspondence). It is interesting to check in how far QCD inherits features of its SUSY QCD sister theory, and to compare the spectrum with classical SUGRA predictions/expectations. It is another exciting theoretical challenge to find discretizations in which a SUSY-respecting continuum limit can be taken, allowing us to go beyond QCD and to simulate SUSY QCD on a computer. The LHC might reveal a composite Higgs-particle, bound by a new Yang-Mills theory similar to QCD (technicolor). Different N, fermion numbers and representations can be explored, enabling us to constrain the space of candidate theories.

Thirty-three year old John Mayne was a Member of the Table Cape Road Trust when he was wrongfully convicted for rape in January 1874. A sentence of death was recorded which was remitted to 15 years. He was released 10 months later, in December 1874 after protracted protests in the press and several juror capitulations, the same jurors who had initially returned a verdict of guilty after two hours' deliberation at the trial (13 January 1874), a case strongly defended by John Mayne's barrister R. Byron Miller. Thomas Nevin photographed John Mayne on arrival at the Hobart Gaol from the Supreme Court, Launceston, in January 1874 before Mayne was sent to the Port Arthur prison, from where he was discharged as "Free." The release was effected by barrister R. Byron Miller and Attorney-General W. R. Giblin, two key members of the legal fraternity along with John Woodcock Graves jnr, whose endorsement of Thomas J. Nevin as government contractor for the provision of prisoner identification photographs was effected in 1872 and extended through to the late 1880s. Thomas Nevin also provided portraits of these lawyers, including members of their respective families (Graves & Miller family album , KLW NFC Private Collection).

The Six Jurors
The following telegram was received late on Monday evening by the hon. R. Byron Miller, Esq, by whom it has been placed at our disposal :- Petition of six jurors received and laid before Governor, with all the examinations who has been pleased to remit the unexpired portion of Maynes sentence. -(Signed) W. R. GIBLIN, Hobart Town . The following is a copy of the letter of the jurors : To his Excellency Charles Du Cane, Esq., Governor of Tasmania.- -We, the undersigned being members of the jury upon the trlal of John Mayne for rape, having learned that an application has been made to your Excellency to grant a free pardon to John Mayne upon the ground of his innocence, beg respect fully to recommend such application to your Excellency's favorable consideration. The case was a difficult one, and our verdict was arrived at in consequence of our belief in the good character and truthfulness of Sophia Jane Shackle; Mrs Shackle, and Hickey, the three principal witnesses for the prosecution. We have now learned from an investigation instituted by your Excellency's orders, that these witnesses did not merit the credence which we gave them, and instead of being per- sons of good character were living in a state of disgraceful immorality; and we have only too much reason to fear that our verdict was a mis- taken one.

Now that John Mayne has been released from Port Arthur, our contemporaries, north and south, have become profoundly impressed with the enormity of the injustice that has been done him, and call aloud for vengeance upon his persecutors, the girl Shackles and the man Lawrence Hickey. The former they would like to see prosecuted for perjury; the latter for the offence upon the girl which was laid to Mayne's charge, and his hideous conspiracy against Mayne's life and liberty....It must be gratifying to the Mayne family to know that John Mayne will be restored to them without any direct intervention on their part, that neither they nor he have been suppliants for mercy, but that the Crown has been compelled to render him simple justice in the face of the revelations made. This fact goes a long way towards removing the terrible stigma cast upon his character by an unfortunate miscarriage of justice.
The following letter was forwarded to the Attorney-General on 24th inst.: -
St. John-streeet. Launceston
November 24th, 1874
Sir, — I have the honor to acknowledge tho receipt of your telegram informing me that "The petition of six jurors received had been laid before the Governor with all the examinations, and that His Excellency had been pleased to remit the unexpired portion of Mayne's sentence." This most gratifying intelligence has been communicated to the family of the prisoner, and I am now instructed on their behalf to tender their grateful thanks to His .Excellency and the members of the Executive Council, not for mercy extended towards a man whom they at least believe to be an innocent sufferer from a judicial mistake, but for justice rendered after a patient and exhaustive examination. His Excellency is about to leave the colony, and the Mayne family respectfully trust that amongst the pleasing memories of his official career in Tasmania will be the recollection that as the representative of Her Majesty, the fountain of justice and mercy, one of his latest acts was to restore to freedom the innocent victim of a foul conspiracy.
I have the honor to be
Your obedient Servant,
The Hon. The Attorney-General,
Hobart Town.

16Nine represents a European family of regional teams working together in partnership across the different parts of Europe that God has placed us in.
As part of a wider family, each regional team expresses the same core values with respect to training principles and DNA. These core values are worked out within the unique regional context, leading to new innovations and training initiatives in each region.
There are currently five regional teams within the 16Nine family:
Kx is a network of churches and leaders across England and Wales who have committed to travel together on a journey of mission and discipleship. Kx has a vision for transforming the nation through a movement of missionary disciples and has evolved over the last four or five years from churches that have been through the training processes with 3DM. They dream of a nation alive with missionary endeavour, where new and existing churches are growing missional communities which are incubating a new generation of disciple-makers. Kx is led by Nic Harding and his team.
Nederland Zoekt works across the Netherlands to empower local churches to live out and make relevant the message of Jesus Christ. They have a vision to see this take place through Missional Communities impacting local regions and across every sphere of society. They work across denominations and have established a national network for training and equipping churches and organisations. Rudolf Setz is the founder and Director of Nederland Zoekt. Get in touch to hear more about what Rudolf and the team are planning in the Netherlands.
Cairn is a new initiative to see Centres of Mission established across the Celtic lands – making disciples of Jesus, restoring communities and transforming society. This is currently happening through Learning Communities, Coaching and Leadership Training. Karl and Niki are founders and senior leaders of Cairn. They have led Central, a church in the City of Edinburgh for 10 years. They are passionate about equipping, encouraging and releasing individuals in leadership.
DACH (Germany-Austria-Switzerland) is a network led by Stephan Käser and Roger Keller that trains and equips churches across the region to take hold of missional discipleship, raise leaders and plant new churches.
They have both Learning Communities and Communities of Practice running with churches from different denominations, as well as a European church planting organisation, who are on this journey with them.
KPN represents a network of churches in Denmark, joined together to equip and train in discipleship and mission. KPN's churches have a vision to see a movement of missional communities and church-planting. They are inviting other churches across Scandinavia on the same adventure. As well as Learning Communities and training for Church Planting, they also lead GRO, an annual gathering that invites leaders to come and experience the DNA of discipling culture and what it could look like to become a sending church.

With Women's Rugby World Cup 2017 now only nine months away, the next few weeks will see six of the top seven nations in the World Rugby Women's Rankings in action with New Zealand, Canada and USA making the trip to Europe.
England, Canada, Ireland and New Zealand will all play each other, while the USA Women's Eagles will face a two-test series with France, hosts of the last Women's Rugby World Cup in 2014.
Leonard's tribute to England women's 113-cap forward Clark https://t.co/Rgt5WLdFbF via @bbcsport— England Rugby (@EnglandRugby) 8 November 2016
England and France have already met twice this year with both matches decided by a single score, Les Bleues winning the Six Nations title decider 17-12 in Vannes in March before England avenged that loss with a 17-13 triumph at the Women's Rugby Super Series in the USA in July.
That win ended a run of four successive victories for France and both nations will be eager to get their November campaign off to a winning start as they build towards WRWC 2017.
England and France have both selected a handful of players with Rio 2016 experience, including Danielle Waterman and Katy Mclean for the hosts and the backline quartet of Caroline Ladagnous, Camille Grassineau, Rose Thomas and Elodie Guiglion for Les Bleues.
The Red Roses squad will be the most experienced with 1,000 caps between the 23 players selected, more than a 10th of them belonging to replacement prop Rochelle Clark, who will equal Jason Leonard's record of 114 caps for England if she comes off the bench.
High expectation levels
Both sides will also feature a player nominated for the World Rugby Women's Player of the Year 2016 award with England captain Sarah Hunter starting at number eight and Gaëlle Mignot starting off the bench for Les Bleues.

"This is a strong squad with a wealth of experience between them," acknowledged England coach Simon Middleton, whose side sit one place below France in the World Rugby Women's Rankings in fourth.
"France are a side we know well and will be tough. Preparation has gone well and our focus will be on executing the things we have worked on, to stick to our plan and we look forward to getting the series underway."
His counterpart Jean-Michel Gonzalez, a veteran of 35 tests at prop and hooker for France in the 1990s, has set some high expectations for his team as they build towards WRWC 2017 in Ireland.
"Each player has been given a specially prepared training programme," said Gonzalez. "It's a model that is completely different to the English whom are all professionals and can prepare all together around Twickenham. We opted for another solution. We feel they will be better prepared and everyone agrees with this approach.
"There are high expectations but we feel we can live up to them. We, the coaches, are convinced that we can be world champions.
"It is easier to work with conviction and make sure that everything is in place to obtain that goal. We are sure that we can do something special. No matter what challenges lie ahead, we won't give up."

Five Beginner and Intermediate Futoshiki Solving Strategies
If you are a Futoshiki player, then you know that it can be quite a challenging type of puzzle if not harder than Sudoku and different from Kakuro.
The objective is to place numbers in the white squares (called cells) so that each row and column contain each of the digits only once. No duplicate digits are allowed in any row or column. Also, you will only use digits based on the size of the grid. So for example, if you are playing a
5 x 5 grid
, only digits
will be used. For a
8 x 8 grid
, only
is used.
There are a few key rules in playing:
In a
puzzle the range of #'s must be between
No digit is repeated within row or column. No duplicates.
Inequality constraints must be honored:
, or
Like sudoku, there are many techniques in solving a futoshiki puzzle. When the simple techniques don't work, you will need to use a more complicated solving technique. This can get to a point where it almost looks impossible to solve and may take a long time using a variety of strategies. But keep in mind, just like Sudoku and Kakuro, a Futoshiki puzzle has only one unique solution that will work successfully. In this article I will give you a few futoshiki strategies.
Strategy #1: Use Pencil marks
This is by far the first (and in my opinion most important) strategy, using pencil marks! Using pencil marks not only greatly reduce the chance for error, it helps to point out obvious hints in solving puzzles. Now, it seems like I am stating the obvious but it very easy to overlook it and think "I got it, it is no big deal" only to run into a problem later on. Using pencil marks, it is best to fill in possible values that you know are going to exist in a particular box. You don't need to over do it sometimes but it is good for a small range. Then, as more clues are revealed, you can reduce the pencil marks until only one digit remain and that will be the digit used for that box.
Strategy #2: Look for chains or a groups of chains
A good place to start a futoshiki puzzle is to look for chains. A chain is several connected boxes that are linked by the same "greater than" or "less than" sign. They don't necessarily need to be in any specific order just as long they are pointing in a specific direction.
In a 6x6 puzzle Example A
you can see a chain and thus you now know definitely what the values af the boxes are.
In a 7x7 puzzle Example B
you can see a chain but don't know exactly what values they are but you can deduce that it is a range of values.
Example A (6x6)
Example B (6x6)
Strategy #3: Pairs, Triples, Quadruples
This is a very good strategy for sudoku, kakuro and futoshiki puzzles assuming you are using pencil marks. If a box of a given row (or column) only has a pencil mark of 1 and 5 and a box in the same row (or column) also has a pencil mark of 1 and 5 then you can remove 1 and 5 from all other boxes in that row (or column). The reason behind this is that the first box must be a 1 or a 5 and the second box must be a 1 or a 5. If the 3rd box was set as a 5 for example, it would cause an obvious error in the row since you are not allowed to have the same digit in a row or column.
Example Pair (5x5 puzzle)
Example Triple (6x6 puzzle)
Strategy #4: Lows and Highs
The unique thing about a futoshiki puzzle is that it is based off of inqeuality signs. This opens up the door to look for the high and low numbers to start off a puzzle. You can do this by looking for
only one
box in any given row or column that has all inequality signs either pointing in (for low) or pointing out (for high). Then you can determine exactly what that number is without any further guesswork. In the
Example Low
you can only put a
here because anywhere else if you put a
a "greater than" sign would mean that the adjacent box would be a zero. In the
Example High
you can only put a
here because anywhere else if you put a
a "less than" sign would mean that the adjacent box would be a seven and that is invalid in a 6x6 puzzle.
Example Low (6x6 puzzle)
Example High (6x6 puzzle)
Keep in mind that this strategy will only work if
only one box
in a row or column looks like this. If more than one row or column has this than there is more possibilities that either one could be a 1 or 6.
Strategy #5: Testing Digits (or Pencil-marks)
Here is one more final strategy for you which can be quite useful. It is using the "
what if this box was a specific #?
" scenario -or- "
I know this box is a 1,4, or 5 so if I put a 4 here would I run into a snag?
" From there, you can see if other digits will work out. If you find a snag in the end then you can eliminate that specific possibility (or pencil-mark) from that box to begin with.
Good luck on your next Futoshiki puzzle!

Now comes a couple of other legends in a two-man summit meeting that conjures up that ol' feeling of sturdy gospel songs...again. Come Sunday follows by about seventeen years the first time bassist Charlie Haden and pianist Hank Jones met for a duet performing songs from the pew (Steal Away, 1995). Of course, one of these two legends are no longer with us: three months after Haden and Jones taped these sessions in February, 2010, Hank Jones was dead after living a fruitful ninety-two years, making Come Sunday possibly Jones' swan song in one of the most productive and exhaustive discographies in all of jazz.
This time, as it was then, these are recordings by a duo perfectly suited to render these sturdy, inspirational songs. Haden, as someone with deep roots in Americana/folk music and a brilliant knack for making a simple melody simply beautiful, has the right partner in Jones, whose woolly touch and gentle swing caresses these songs with the kind of reverence that's meant for them. The choice of material and the way they're handled make this technically not a jazz record; if these songs were performed like this at Sunday service, it wouldn't sound out of place at all, although you'd certainly notice how much better they're played.
There's not much to separate Sunday from Steal, it's almost as if both records were extracted from the same recording sessions. However, Haden does seem to take on the lead role of carrying out the basic melody more this go around than before. As one of the few bassists who can pull off this off with such ease and preciseness, his woody pulses elevate selections like Take My Hand, Precious Lord," God Res Ye Merry Gentlemen," and Bringing In The Sheaves." Jones assumes the accompanist role with his usual sensitivity and smoothly transitions into the front when Haden backs into the tapestry. The nonagenarian isn't overly assertive, but that has nothing to do with stamina, but rather, his understanding the approach required of the material. However, he shows a bit of his spunk on more up-tempo tunes like Give Me That Old time Religion."

"The decisive factor in this great war with Satan is just one thing: praying believers. We are the ones who tip the scale for victory on God's side. This is an astonishing fact, but Scripture makes it clear that this is so. Our prayers are not unimportant; they are not secondary. They are the decisive issue in the entire spiritual conflict. The way we pray will decide the way the universe goes. I do not believe that is an exaggeration; I believe it is the literal truth. Nothing grieves me more than to hear believers talk as if they were unimportant. 'It doesn't much matter what I say or what I do. I am basically insignificant.' True, you are insignificant. That is the point. It is just because you are insignificant that God has chosen you for the demonstration of His wisdom, His grace and His power to the whole universe."

Lindsey Ring, a former model for fashion company Guess?, has filed a sexual harassment and retailation lawsuit against co-CEO Paul Marciano for allegedly making unwanted sexual advances on Ring. Ring claims that Marciano lured her into a warehouse in December 2008, turned out the light and tried to kiss her.
After Lindsey Ring rejected Marciano's advances and complained to her direct boss, the model was told, "This is not the first time this has happened with Mr. Marciano."
Ring says she was afraid to speak up because of Marciano's "reputation as an abusive and belligerent boss who would terminate employees at the drop of a hat."
Ring's working hours were subsequently cut and, fearing that she might be physically harmed by Marciano, she quit on February 2009. Ring says that the sexual harassment and retaliation caused her "sleeplessness, anxiety, tension, depression and humiliation."

I commented last week about the need to deal with global warming, population growth and protecting the lands and forests that produce the oxygen we depend on. Those problems are interrelated, and if the rising seas aren't bad enough, the loss of atmospheric oxygen will suffocate us all. I confess that puts a different perspective on other issues. Can we improve people's health and job prospects if we have to hold down the impact on the environment? Well yes, but the question is whether we are willing to share in the sandbox we call earth?

Can we Learn from the Euro Zone?May 15, 2012
Sometimes it's easier to see the problems abroad than it is at home. And that may be true of the Euro zone. As we all know, there have been a series of agreements bailing out Greece on the condition that Greece make very large cuts in its own budget. And it hasn't worked. Why not? Shouldn't cutting back have rejuvenated the Greek economy? Read the rest of this entry »

Race & Economic Justice, for Martin Luther KingJanuary 17, 2012
Yesterday was Martin Luther King day. That actually led me to think some more about the Occupy Movement and their slogan, the 99%.
Movements for economic justice have repeatedly had their backs broken over the race issue. In the 19th century, the surging Populist Movement tried to ignore race and bring poor whites and blacks together. But it was destroyed in the South over race. We limped into the 20th century without major reforms although the Progressive Movement that brought Woodrow Wilson to the White House enacted pieces of the Populist creed and the Roosevelt Administration enacted more.
But the Roosevelt Administration also steered clear of race in ways that would have an enormous impact on America. Read the rest of this entry »

The driver noticed flames rising and pulled over and immediately evacuated the bus. Passengers managed to grab their belongings before the bus was fully engulfed in flames.
Due to the accident, traffic was temporarily closed in the direction of Dortmund, resulting in long lines of cars.
According to photos taken at the scene, the bus has burned down completely. The reason behind the accident remains unknown.
Ecolines" has confirmed that its bus has burned down on the way to Paris. The company also informs that all passengers have already been taken to their destinations.

There's nothing like finding that quality restaurant tucked away where you'd least expect it, operating under your personal culinary radar—it's sort of like finding money in the pocket of that old coat in the back of the closet. That's how we felt when we finally discovered Gerard's.
Gerard's is located in the Colonnade shopping center in Des Peres, an older development somewhat overshadowed by the bright and shiny new plazas that surround it on the commercial strip that is Manchester Road. With just a single table on the sidewalk outside and subtle signage, it'd be easy to miss it, and you really don't want to do that because there's much goodness to be had inside the innocuous facade.
Gerard's is spacious, with two large dining rooms and a comfortable bar area. Decor is classy but understated, and there's plenty of room between tables, much appreciated in this era of eateries attempting to pack in as many seats as possible.
The menu at Gerard's has a wide selection of classic dishes, including pastas, veal, beef, chicken and seafood options. We started out with a couple of spicy apps, the Mustard Basil Shrimp ($13), and the Calamari Saparatiti ($9) to jumpstart our palettes, then went on to the Vege Salad ($7). This salad is an amalgam of chopped veggies that include cucumber, lettuce, celery, bell peppers and red onion, among other ingredients, and topped with a generous amount of sunflower seeds for some crunchy contrast, all prepared table-side. We recommend sharing this tasty salad as it's a hearty portion, to say the least. Continue reading…
So we were invited (natch) to St. Louis Magazine's Best Dressed List soirée, with the admonition that we "dress to impress." What's more impressive, we figure, than a knee-length Indian sherwani, with its très-cool Nehru collar? Fortunately, we know there's an Indian clothing shop in Des Peres' Colonnade Center strip mall. We're off. Not only do we find a stylin' sherwani, but a couple of doors down is Gerard's, which Wine Spectator keeps raving about. And so, to dinner there.
Most people can't pull off the sherwani thing—but Gerard's? Definitely worth a visit. Dining areas are suitably divided into a couple of larger rooms and smaller, more intimate spaces; the place is bigger than it first appears. With Carole King softly warbling through Tapestry, décor like the smoked-mirror wall tiles lends the restaurant a distinctively '70s vibe.
Seafood gets a lot of attention at Gerard's. Specials are posted on a board at the door, and much of the regular menu is maritime. Linguine is tossed with what tastes like the prepared seafood available in local Asian groceries: baby octopus, shrimp necks, and chunks of fake crab. But the dish is given a delightful house-made touch with the addition of cracked crab claws, mussels, and whole clams. A sauté pan is the only suitable fate for a plateful of pencil eraser–sized cape scallops. Nut-sweet and buttery, the bivalves are perfect with a side of risotto. Canadian walleye, meaty and firm, doesn't make many appearances in St. Louis; this is a fine place to try it. Salmon is prepared broiled or poached.
Filet mignon, Chateaubriand steak, a rib-eye with steak butter: With a wine list that's got more reds than a university faculty meeting, it's a cinch that beef isn't going to be neglected. The best—though awesomely rich—choice is a tenderloin, slit and stuffed with chunks of crab and laid in a pool of Madeira sauce. A rack of lamb is similarly opulent, dressed with a persillade—a rub of garlic, rosemary, and parsley, all blended with olive oil—and rolled in bread crumbs and roasted. Continue reading…
