Quote: being as I am a short fat old man, I am assuming that any such conflict will involve a pre-emptive strike from me.
Quote:Well, I don't have a 15 year old daughter. My youngest daughter is 26.
Quote: Photographic and video evidence rarely proves innocence,
Quote:Can anyone tell me how to put multiple quotes into a reply please?
Quote:You're avoiding the question, which is a natural reaction when answering truthfully contradicts a previous stance, let me rephrase it:Would your view still be the same if it was your 26 yr old daughter fighting of the "gentleman" who now expects something in return for the "insert favour" he just done for her? So she should wait to be struck or raped, before fighting back???
Quote:Leo,My mind on this matter was made up years ago, the circumstances of which I posted above. Maybe you would like to re-read it and try to see where I'm coming from. I PERSONALLY made a decision about pre-emption based upon MY scruples and morals, and based on my moral code I consider those who are willing and enthusiastic and teach to strike pre-emptively to be beneath contempt, in particular those who teach it, as by so doing (especially to kids) they continue the myth that pre-emption is OK and is justified, when any 'decent' person can see the moral laxity and redundancy in this attitude. As I have said; I will always witness against the pre-emptive striker (IE for the prosecution) should the opportunity arise, and I would of course try a case according to the evidence as is demanded by law. Should the evidence suggest pre-emption then that person is going down if I'm on the jury.
Quote:I'm personally sick to death of the prevailing attitude that 'anything a Martial Artist does is OK' as they will always be in the right. Wrong, they are just as likely to be in breach of the law as is any other sector of society. Get it kids, 'there's nothing special about us' we don't have any more rights than anyone else.
Quote:As to the matter of your friends carrying concealed weapons, your duty to society is to report these persons to the authorities immediately if not sooner.
Quote:If they use these weapons then you will be culpable in the committing of an offence. The carriage of weapons is not a new phenomenon, as far back as the 1950's the 'Teds' used to carry cutthroat razors, and stitch razor blades behind their lapels in case they were grabbed by them.
Quote:I don't expect to win any popularity contests on this, just to demonstrate a more MORAL stance than is usually brought to bear. Also, I am not an ambassador for martial arts and have never claimed or professed to be one, I just abhor violent and immoral behaviour and will not allow pre-emption to be taught in my Dojo. No I'm not the Sensie, but I am the landlord.
Quote:Quote:You're avoiding the question, which is a natural reaction when answering truthfully contradicts a previous stance, let me rephrase it:Would your view still be the same if it was your 26 yr old daughter fighting of the "gentleman" who now expects something in return for the "insert favour" he just done for her? So she should wait to be struck or raped, before fighting back??? I have no intention of changing my stance on this subject irrespective of the cute way in which you praise your question. OK, got it? Stop trying to play silly sods, you ain't good enough.Obviously I would not be involved in jury service if my youngest daughter was in the dock charged with assault. Should she be found guilty, she deserves the proscribed legal punishment. If she did strike pre-emptively and get off, she then has me to deal with and she wouldn't want that outcome believe me.MC.

Evenly matched ALCS is living up to billing
Red Sox-Tigers head to Game 4 with three nail-biters in the books
DETROIT -- This is as good as it gets. Three games decided by one run. Three games filled with tension and emotion. Three games that have delivered everything we could have hoped for as the Red Sox and Tigers remind us yet again why we love October baseball.
"If you can't appreciate this one, you can't appreciate baseball," Tigers right-hander Justin Verlander said after striking out 10 in eight innings of Game 3 on Tuesday.View Full Game Coverage
"It's been an amazing first three games," he added.
The Red Sox beat the Tigers to take a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven American League Championship Series.
Maybe you remember the Tigers won Game 1 by the score of 1-0. And then there was Game 2, when the Tigers had a 5-1 lead and saw it vaporize on a David Ortiz grand slam. The Red Sox won that one, 6-5, so in three contests, the Red Sox have outscored the Tigers 7-6.
Those two 1-0 scores aren't a surprise, given the depth and quality of these two starting rotations. Still, sometimes we're disappointed by a series that is supposed to be this or that. This one has been thrilling baseball and great theater.
In Game 3, it was Red Sox first baseman Mike Napoli delivering. He'd struck out six times in six at-bats in the series before hammering a Verlander pitch over the left-field wall in the top of the seventh.
The Tigers had plenty of chances, stranding runners on third base three times, including the eighth inning when they had a man on with one out.
Tigers center fielder Austin Jackson walked with one out in the inning and sprinted to third on Torii Hunter's single to right.
Hunter pumped his fist and screamed when he got to first base. After a long afternoon of being dominated by Red Sox starter John Lackey for 6 2/3 innings, he finally could see daylight.
Jackson stayed at third as one Red Sox reliever, Junichi Tazawa, struck out one of baseball's best hitters, Miguel Cabrera, and another, Koji Uehara, struck out Prince Fielder.
"It's playoff pitching," Fielder said. "It's frustrating, but that's part of it."
Hunter summed it up simply.
"I can't say it enough: Great pitching is going to beat good hitting," he said. "And the pitching on both sides has been great.
Great pitching isn't always enough. The Tigers have lost two of three despite their three starters -- Anibal Sanchez, Max Scherzer and Verlander -- allowing two earned runs in 21 innings.
"Over there, they're saying Scherzer nailed it and Verlander nailed it," Red Sox outfielder Jonny Gomes said. "But it's not about starting pitching. It's not about bullpens. It's not about offenses. It's about touching the plate more than them, and we were able to do that."
Sometimes, players get caught up in a series like this one, and only later do they understand how special it has been.
Give these players credit. They know how special this is. They know how evenly matched they are.
"This is a heavyweight bout," Gomes said.
Here's another quote that sums things up.
"It's going to be a battle for every single out, every single run," Verlander said. "It's been an amazing first three games."
There's not an eyelash of difference between the Red Sox and Tigers, and for two franchises that have worked so hard to put themselves in position to win a championship, this ALCS going to be a bitter pill for one of them.
The Tigers took some consolation by having rallied from a 2-1 deficit against the A's in an AL Division Series.
"Nothing is easy," Tigers designated hitter Victor Martinez said. "You've got to turn the page. We've been able to do that. We'll come back tomorrow, play hard and let's see what happens."
This is just the fourth time there have been two 1-0 games in a single series.
Game 4 is Wednesday night, airing at 8 ET on FOX.
Stay tuned.
"You stay here long enough, you're always going to see something new," Hunter said. "I've been playing 20-plus years of professional ball, and I promise you I see something new every year. That's crazy."

There are reasons to believe in Phillies
Just two years ago, the Phillies assembled their four aces (and, uh, Joe Blanton) on a podium at their spring complex in Clearwater, Fla., making them available to the clamoring media masses who openly discussed whether this could be the greatest rotation ever assembled.
And in that moment, the Phillies, four-time defending National League champs on the verge of a fifth, looked outright untouchable.
They continued to look that way through the length of the 2011 regular season. The Phillies spent all but one day in first place. Heck, they had the best record in the NL for all but 16 days, with 15 of those days coming in April. They led the Majors in attendance, in victories and in postseason promise.
But so much has happened since Oct. 27, 2011, when that 102-win team came up empty in an NL Division Series Game 5 against a dominant Chris Carpenter. And little of what's happened since -- from Ryan Howard's ruptured Achilles onward -- has been positive for the Fightin' Phils, whose aging roster has been besieged by injury.
These days, as my MLB.com colleague Matthew Leach explains, the Nationals are the class of the East, having amassed the best regular-season record in the game last year and insured themselves well this winter, re-signing Adam LaRoche and adding Denard Span, Dan Haren and Rafael Soriano.
The Braves, too, pose a formidable threat, what with the brothers Upton now in tow in what could be one of the game's more dynamic outfield alignments, to say nothing of the Braves' behemoth of a bullpen.
All of which leads one to wonder where, exactly, a Phillies team that not too long ago was considered a superpower fits into the scope of a division it once routinely dominated.
The easy answer would seem to be third place, what with the Mets seemingly still in neutral and the Marlins fielding a lineup largely fit for the Pacific Coast League.
But it's never that easy, is it? Much as we assume we can predict a proper pecking order, it doesn't usually shake out that way.
So if only for the sake of appreciating unpredictability, and if only out of respect for the three excellent arms that remain atop the rotation, don't rule out the Phillies, daunting as this division might be. Charlie Manuel's crew might surprise us.
But suffice to say some elements of their roster confound us.
We have considerable reason to believe a healthy Roy Halladay, Cliff Lee and Cole Hamels will routinely put the Phillies in a position to win. We also have ample statistical evidence to suggest Jonathan Papelbon will do a solid job closing out the games the Phillies are leading late. The offseason additions of John Lannan to the back of the rotation and Mike Adams to the bullpen should also be positives.
The big question, of course, is whether a lineup loaded with question marks will score enough runs to support that staff. The Phillies finished 19th in MLB in run production last year, 13th the year before that. And so an offense that used to annually rank among the top 10 in the game has become a shell of its former self, with last year's ailments to Howard and Chase Utley dealing a particularly harsh blow.
Even if Howard (33 years old), Utley (34), Jimmy Rollins (34) and the newly acquired Michael Young (36) all manage to stay healthy this season (a big "if"), that is an exceptionally old infield that could be prone for further production regression.
In the outfield, the Phillies can't possibly expect Twins trade acquisition Ben Revere -- owner of just 33 extra-base hits in 1,064 plate appearances -- to dynamically impact the offense. They'll need him to be an elite defender in center. And the Phils made the questionable decision to bring the defensively deficient Delmon Young to the NL, hoping that his bat will more than make up for his glove.
Oh, and let's not forget that the heart and soul of last year's offense -- Carlos Ruiz -- will miss the first 25 games of the season following his amphetamine suspension.
All in all, I'd say it's a shaky offensive alignment -- one prompted by the payroll issues that came with investing so much money into the front of the rotation, the back of the bullpen and the Howard contract, which is one of the more calamitous deals in the game.
What the Phillies will need to surprise us, then, are (at least) three key components:
1. Health, health and more health: This is obvious. When the Phillies got healthy last year, they went 44-31 and snuck into the fringes of the NL Wild Card chase. It was too little, too late, but at least it was encouraging.
2. Michael Young's visit to the Derek Jeter Fountain of Youth: Like Jeter, Young is about as impactful a clubhouse presence as you could possibly hope to have on your side. But also like Jeter a year ago, Young, who was one of the worst-performing regulars in the Majors in 2012, is facing questions about his viability on the field. Jeter answered those questions by leading the AL in hits and providing his most productive power output in three years. It cannot be overstated how much the Phillies need a similar return to prominence for Young.
3. Major contributions from the kids: The Young signing doesn't do much to signal the Phillies' faith in Domonic Brown, who has all the tools, but little to show for it at the Major League level to date. It would appear that eventually finding at-bats for Darin Ruf, a pure power hitter who tore up Double-A and had a strong first showing at the big league level, ought to be a priority. In a perfect world, maybe you'd platoon Ruf with Howard, who struggles mightily against lefties, but good luck getting that to happen.
Right now, the popular perception is that the Phillies are paying the price -- in terms of age and payroll inflexibility -- for their former dominance. The only way to blow past that perception would be to receive an otherworldly performance from the pitching staff and overachievement from the offense.
The Phillies fell quickly from the podium. We'll see if they can climb back in 2013.

No cramps, no problem: LeBron James leads Heat past Spurs in Game 2 of the NBA Finals
SAN ANTONIO – The air conditioning was blowing, LeBron James' muscles were firing and that was all the Miami Heat needed to even the 2014 NBA Finals. Well, that and a timely 3-pointer from Chris Bosh.
James scored 35 points – 22 in the second half – and found Bosh in the right corner for a 3-pointer with 1:18 left to put the Heat ahead to stay in a 98-96 victory that squared the Finals at a game apiece on Sunday.
The series shifts to Miami for the next two games. Game 3 is Tuesday night.
"He has an incredible way to put his fingerprints on a game in a lot of different areas," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said of James.
The two-time defending champion Heat once again showed their resilience, winning for an NBA-record 13th straight time following a loss in the playoffs. They haven't dropped consecutive games in the postseason since the 2012 Eastern Conference finals against the Boston Celtics.
With the AT&T Center's air conditioning repaired following the Game 1 malfunction that sent courtside temperatures near 90 degrees and forced James to the bench with cramps, the Heat turned up their defense – a huge difference from three days earlier when they collapsed under a barrage of late Spurs' 3-pointers. After a 3-pointer by Tony Parker gave the Spurs the lead, they missed three straight shots and committed a turnover in the final 99 seconds, nearly going scoreless in that stretch until a meaningless three by Manu Ginobili at the buzzer.
Spurs coach Gregg Popovich lamented his team's poor ball movement down the stretch.
"We didn't do it as a group," Popovich said. "We tried to do it individually and we're not good enough to do that."
James had something to do with that. Miami's defense cratered in the fourth quarter of Game 1 when the Spurs made 14 of 16 shots. James watched much of that from the bench when he had to be carried off the court in the final four minutes because of cramps. That earned him a healthy dose of mockery across the Twittersphere and made his response in Game 2 all the more critical for the Heat's push to extend their championship reign. Not leaving anything to chance, James took a yoga class Sunday morning at the team's hotel to try to stay loose.
"Me and three other people, and also a little kid," James said. "But he wanted no part of it."
James' legs looked fine on Sunday, evident when he drove for a first-quarter dunk, but he didn't truly impose himself on the game until the second quarter.
By then, the Spurs had already run out to an 11-point lead. James returned and was much more aggressive, especially in the third quarter when he made his first six shots of the second half. He peppered the Spurs with pull-up jumpers, buried a couple of 3-pointers over their heads and looked ready to single-handedly take over the game. A pair of 3-pointers by Patty Mills helped San Antonio gain some traction, but it was clear if the Spurs were going to beat Miami again, it wouldn't be with James watching from the bench.
"For me, once I get into a good groove," James said, "I feel like everything is going to go in."
When ABC's sideline reporter Doris Burke asked Spurs coach Gregg Popovich what he wanted to see happen in the fourth quarter, he quipped: "I'd like to see LeBron play poorly."
He had no such luck. After Danny Green gave the Spurs the lead with a 3-pointer midway through the fourth quarter, James answered with an 18-foot jumper over Kawhi Leonard at the shot-clock buzzer.
Less than 30 seconds later, Heat point guard Mario Chalmers crumpled Tony Parker to the floor with an elbow to the ribs on a drive to the basket, drawing a flagrant foul. Parker missed both free throws and Tim Duncan followed by missing a pair on the ensuring possession.
The injury "definitely affected me," Parker said. "But I'm a little bit frustrated. Should have made them."
The missed opportunity became even more frustrating for Parker and the Spurs after James came down and promptly stuck a 3-pointer – a swift seven-point swing that sent the crowd into a collective groan.
"That hurts," Ginobili said.
So did Bosh's big 3-pointer. With the Spurs clinging to a one-point lead, James drove and passed to Bosh, who was alone in the right corner. Bosh set his feet, raised up and coolly buried the most important shot of the night.
"As soon as my guy leaves, one of two things is going to happen," Bosh said. "LeBron is going to shoot it and I'm getting back on defense. Or, he's going to pass to me and I'm going to shoot it. I know some people always question the motive and, you know, your opportunity.
"When you have the chance, you take it."
Bosh had been largely ineffective in last year's Finals against the Spurs until his key offensive rebound and pass to Ray Allen led to the series-turning 3-pointer in Game 6. He has also weathered criticism for his play, at times, in this postseason. He scored 18 points Sunday, the same as he had in Game 1. This time, he saved his best for last.
"Everybody gets criticized, and I understand that," Bosh said. "I'm not immune to it. To know that that's happened before, I'm not the first, I won't be the last."

Report: Roethlisberger out Sunday
Ben Roethlisberger has been ruled out and Byron Leftwich will start Sunday's game for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Jay Glazer reported Wednesday Roethlisberger sprained SC joint would keep him on the sideline for at least this week. Roethlisberger was injured in the third quarter Monday when two Chiefs' defenders sandwiched him on a quarterback sack.
Leftwich played in his first real game in two years and that was only brief mopup duty in the final game of the 2010 season against Cleveland, when he threw seven passes. His only previous action came on Sept. 27, 2009 when he started the first three games for Tampa Bay and then did not play again and wound up on injured reserve.
Right now, he's their man.
"We feel comfortable any time one of our quarterbacks is in the game, whether it's Roethlisberger, Leftwich or Charlie Batch," receiver Mike Wallace said.
"Byron Leftwich will be ready to go," said halfback Jonathan Dwyer. "We believe in him. He's won a lot of games in his career. If he was anywhere else, he would be starting. He has sacrificed to be here."
Since drafting Roethlisberger, the Steelers are 0-4 against the Ravens when playing without Big Ben. The Ravens and Steelers meet twice in the next three weeks in a stretch that could decide the AFC North division.
Injuries continue to be a storyline for the Steelers, who in recent seasons battled offensive line and defensive line health issues.
Sunday night they're likely to take the field without Roethlisberger, wide receiver Antonio Brown, safety Troy Polamlau and aren't certain whether safety Ryan Clark or running back Rashard Mendenhall will be able to return from injuries. Clark was diagnosed with his second concussion in three games Monday. Mendenhall has missed the past four games with an Achilles injury after missing the first three overcoming January ACL surgery.

John Calhoun Markley was born a slave. He died a local legend.
In between that span of time, he broke the chains that bound the beliefs of what a freed African-American could do. He is now remembered as an "artisan of malleable metals" and a "brilliant blacksmith" who used his craft to help animals and the development of a booming seasonal resort town.
The Flat Rock Historic Society recently placed a marker commemorating the site of the Markley Blacksmith Shop in the crux of a curve on Blue Ridge Road, overlooking Bonclarken – near where the shop once stood.
"One of the most memorable African-American families in Flat Rock was the Markley family," historian Tom Orr said.
Charlestonians, escaping the humid and mosquito-infested low country, flocked to the Hendersonville area in the late 1820s. Grand estates sprang up on "the flat rock" of Flat Rock … and with the visitors came horses.
John Markley opened his blacksmith shop with his two sons, Garfield and James (Jim), in the late 1800s. Their services were sought by customers near and far. They shod horses, shaped plows, fixed wheels and spun light-hearted tales of "homespun philosophy" in the process, author Alice Sink said in her book, "Hidden History of the Western North Carolina Mountains."
The traffic lined up at Markley's Blacksmith Shop — the only one in town at the time as far as historians can tell. Sink noted that it was "a popular gathering place" where "people would line up to have their horses shod each summer."
"The Markley family was very involved in taking care of horses," said Rick Merrill, president of Historic Flat Rock, Inc.
"They were considered authorities on shoeing (horses). Flat Rock had an incredible amount of horse traffic," said Galen Reuther, past president of Historic Flat Rock, Inc.
And Markley could make the perfect shoe. Orr said Markley became well-known for his ability to shoe a horse and an ox for corrective purposes. He and his sons "knew how horses should stand," Orr added.
"Markley had an active trade due to equestrian activity in the surrounding estates," according to history noted in Flat Rock's renomination application for the National Register of Historic Places. "During their time, race horses and high-stepping show horses were brought here for the Markleys to shoe."
But local history, passed on from generation to generation, said his work with horses didn't end at their feet.
"John (Markley) kind of acted as a veterinarian too," Reuther said.
"In a 1941 interview, Jim Markley said the primary factor was 'to please the horse or mule,' and for many years horses from around the region were brought here," according to the Society. Jim Markley kept the shop going until he retired in the 1960s.
John Markley's wife, Sally Darity Markley, served as a midwife in the area, assisting four successive doctors in Flat Rock. Lovingly referred to as "Aunt Sally," she was a well-known, respected member of Flat Rock and East Flat Rock for 30 years after her husband's death. Both were born into slavery — John in 1848 and Sally in 1854.
Sally Darity was the daughter of a Cherokee Indian. Her father was reportedly abandoned as a baby on a battlefield and rescued by white settlers who raised him and gave him their last name.
John and Sally were married when they were both working on a farm in Naples. "The couple moved to Flat Rock in 1877, where their first child was born," according to history in the town's application for the National Register.
"John was persuaded to settle in Flat Rock by Squire Farmer, who hired him to work at the Farmer furniture mill on West Blue Ridge Road," Orr said.
Markley started blacksmithing long before the Emancipation Proclamation freed the slaves.
"John began blacksmithing as a child, because 'smithing was …an occupation that was taught to all Markley men,' " according to HFR.
Markley was said to have worked as a blacksmith for Dr. Mitchell C. King, a judge and "Scot by birth and Charlestonian by preference" until he settled in Flat Rock, according to James Fain's "A Partial History of Henderson County."
Markley also was employed as a "craftsman and blacksmith for Henry T. Farmer, owner of the Farmer Hotel (later the Woodfield Inn), before opening his own shop," according to the HFR.
John Markley died in 1921. He was 73. Sally Darity Markley "lived to be 104 years old, chewing tobacco and eating peppers and onions," according to the HFR. She is buried in East Flat Rock.

After a wonderful Asian lunch I did an illusion and shared (from John 8:30-33) regarding the distinction between how one is freed from the penalty of sin by simply believing in Jesus and how one can continue to experience that freedom by "abiding" (following) Jesus everyday in discipleship.
Furthermore, I was also invited to be on WCBI a CBS local affiliate of Starkville, MS (click here for a photo gallery - part of that which was taken by one of the camera men—as a favor to me—with my i-phone).
I also taught at Emmanuel Baptist Church Sunday school (by having a Q & A time) preached in worship service.

Friends and family, I was a guest speaker at the mega-church Christ the Rock Community Church. I spoke four times in two days over the weekend. For those of you interested and would like to hear the half-hour message, see below. May the Lord speak to you through this message.
God Is Able by Dr. René López
Only $9.99!
Those who enjoy reading mysteries will enjoy this book's exposure of the real conspiracy involved in Cameron's "documentary."
—Craig S. Keener, Ph.D.,
Author of countless books, and
Professor of New Testament
Palmer Seminary
René López gives the Jesus family tomb theory the thorough debunking it so richly deserves. He points out countless errors and lapses in logic on the part Simcha Jacobovici and his associates, who have foisted on a naive public and gullible media a highly implausible scenario. Critical scholars and laity alike are appalled by this travesty. The Jesus Family Tomb Examined will go a long way toward setting the record
—Craig A. Evans, Ph.D.
Payzant Distinguished Professor
of New Testament at Acadia Divinity College
René López's work skillfully dismantles point
by point the arguments made by these advocates and shows cogently how Jesus' tomb continues to remain empty, because He rose physically. I wholeheartedly recommend this work.

Elemental is a C++ framework for distributed-memory dense linear algebra that strives to be fast, portable, and programmable. It can be thought of as a generalization of PLAPACK to element-by-element distributions that also makes use of recent algorithmic advances from the FLAME project. Elemental usually outperforms both PLAPACK and ScaLAPACK, however, it heavily relies on MPI collectives so a good MPI implementation is crucial. Both pure MPI and hybrid OpenMP-MPI configurations are supported.
Cambridge is a template engine for generating HTML/XML markup in Java applications. It is highly extensible, high performance, and designed to be less cluttered. It prefers making use of the scopes of the existing HTML/XML tags in your template instead of wrapping your tags with some non-standard tags or scripting code. Cambridge templates are pure HTML/XML documents that you can edit on any tool or view directly on browsers without any issues. Cambridge can be used in standalone Java applications, with Servlets, and along with popular Web frameworks such as Spring Mvc, Struts, Play Framework, JAX-RS, and many others.

Looks like that rain will stay away, so why not hit Japantown today?
The scene this AM during setup:
Kōkua Japan San Francisco concert on April 2 to benefit Japan disaster relief
Free event in Japantown's Peace Plaza to include Hawaiian music, Polynesian dance and diverse Bay Area bands
SAN FRANCISCO, California — In response to the devastating March 11 earthquake and tsunami in Northern Japan, a group of concerned citizens from the Bay Area's Hawaiian and Asian American communities have organized Kōkua Japan San Francisco, a fundraising concert in Japantown's Peace Plaza from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, April 2, 2011. "Kōkua" means "help" in Hawaiian.
Donations to the Northern Japan Earthquake Relief Fund will be solicited at the free event, which will also raise funds through raffles of donated merchandise and T-shirt sales. The nonprofit Northern California Cherry Blossom Festival will collect the monies and deliver them to the Japanese Cultural and Community Center of Northern California (JCCCNC), which administers the earthquake relief fund along with Union Bank. One hundred percent of the fund will be distributed for direct assistance to residents of the affected area of Japan.
The entertainment on the Peace Plaza stage, at Post and Buchanan streets, will be emceed by NBC Bay Area newsman and stand-up comedian Mike Inouye. The lineup includes: * Hawaiian music groups: Steven Espaniola & Friends, Faith Ako & Friends, Side Order Band featuring Chris Kamaka & Asa Young, 'AHAmele 'Ukulele Band, Ho'omana and JD Puli & Friends * Polynesian dance troupes: Nā Lei Hulu I Ka Wēkiu (hula), Ke 'Olu Makani 'O Mauna Loa with kumu Meleana Manuel (hula), Ka Liko Pua O Kalaniākea (hula), Merahi O Tehani (Tahitian 'ōte'a) * Diverse musical acts: Feelosophy (funk, soul), Project Gojira (fusion), Native Elements (reggae), Stymie & the Pimp Jones Luv Orchestra (funk, rock, ska.)
Local merchants have donated items for raffle prizes, while Hawaiian Airlines is flying in 200 special "Aloha" T-shirts for sale with the help of the Hawai'i Lieutenant Governor's office, which is coordinating the islands' Aloha for Japan fundraising effort. The T-shirt, which uses a rising sun for the "o" in "Aloha," will sell at Kōkua Japan San Francisco for $25, from which the $15 profit per shirt will go to earthquake relief. Sponsors include Aloha Warehouse, Colortone Digital, Hawai'i Chamber of Commerce of Northern California, Susie Kagami, Osaki Creative Group, and Sound Innovations. Thanks also go to Sandy Lee of the San Francisco Parks and Recreation Department.

The peroneal nerve is found on the outside part of the lower knee. This nerve is responsible for transmitting impulses to and from the leg, foot, and toes. When damaged, the muscles innervated by the nerve may become weak and sensation may be lost. A condition called foot drop can occur. Foot drop is the inability to raise the foot upwards.
A peroneal nerve injury is commonly caused by an injury to the leg.
Trauma to the nerve can occur with:
- Broken leg bone
- Knee injury
- Surgery to leg or knee
- Ankle injuries
Prolonged pressure on the nerve can occur with:
- Sitting position
- Cast on lower leg, particularly if it is too tight
- Blood clots, tumors, or other masses
Risk Factors
Factors that may increase your chance of peroneal nerve injury include:
- Recent trauma to leg
- Having a cast on your leg
- Frequently sitting with legs crossed
- Long periods of bedrest
- Being very thin
Peroneal nerve injury may cause:
- Numbness or tingling in the lower leg
- Pain in foot or shin
- Foot weakness
- Prickling sensation
- Pins and needles sensation
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. An important part of your physical will be checking how well your nerves and muscles are working in certain parts of your leg. Your doctor may want to watch you as you walk.
Tests may include the following:
- X-rays
- MRI scan
- Electromyography (EMG) or other nerve conduction tests
Talk with your doctor about the best plan for you. Options include the following:
Physical Therapy
A therapist will work with you to strengthen your leg and foot muscles.
An ankle and foot brace is used to treat foot drop.
In some cases, surgery is used to treat a peroneal nerve injury. Surgical involves taking pressure off the nerve (decompressive surgery).
To reduce your chance of a peroneal nerve injury:
- Avoid crossing your legs
- Move around frequently
- If you work on your knees, wear protection
- If you have a cast on your leg, let your doctor know right away if you are having numbness or tingling.

The temptation to do so is a symptom of an exciting, and perhaps confusing, time in educational technology. Never have students at all grades been more tech savvy, and never have educators had such an astounding range of technical resources available to them for pedagogical use. Let's talk about why iPad programs don't always succeed.
I serve as a wireless network architect and administrator, as well as a part-time faculty member at a private university, and I am parent of three kids who are growing up immersed in technology. I also spent a number of years as an advisor on a technical committee of a local K-12 district, wrestling with how to leverage various technologies that all seemed fascinating, but not easily stitched into the general fabric of the school day. I certainly don't have all of the answers on the topic of iPad initiatives, but I do have broad perspective.
[ Looking beyond the iPad: Texas School District Picks Dell Windows 8 Tablets.]
Also, a bit on iPads themselves is in order. Other tablet devices have made their way into plenty of classrooms, but the iPad has the educational market locked up as measured in volume sold. At the same time, most of my thoughts about iPads apply to all tablets regardless of make, and the challenges facing those who aspire to build educational programs on mobile devices.
Loosely defined, an iPad program puts the devices in the hands of students and faculty, and is intended to bring about the realization of some set of education goals. I break down the challenges with iPad programs into four general areas: the purpose of the program, the students, the teachers (and the K-12 districts/colleges they work for), and the technology itself. Here's where each can make trouble for an iPad program.
1. What's the purpose of the iPad program?
I've sat in meetings where administrators were bound and determined to put PCs into classrooms, but couldn't say how the machines would be used if their jobs depended on it. The same "technology for the sake of technology" mentality is a real risk with iPads. Any initiative needs a charter and specific goals, but too often technology is brought to a classroom because other schools are doing the same, or because a funding grant was too good to pass up. If you think you can simply get a bunch of devices and figure out how they will be used later, you've likely doomed yourself to failure. That's not to say you can't expand a program beyond the initial goals, but those initial goals must be defined and measurable.
2. Students
The contemporary student has a lot competing for her attention. Even without a device in hand, students wrestle with the same worries and social issues we all did at the various grade levels. Now add iPads, and consider:
-- Students are often more adept in using devices than faculty are. I have seen this play out a number of times, from attempts to use GPS units in geocaching activities in physical education to my daughter's own Photoshop class. If the students have to teach the Instructor how to use the device or apps on it, chances for program success are pretty slim.
-- Students can have fleeting attention spans, and are easily distracted. The best teacher in the world is no match for the siren song of the Internet when a device in hand can take you to the Web during a lesson that isn't hooking you. (This is not so different from adult professionals reading email and news in boring meetings at work.)
-- If it's not a 1:1 program, students are less likely to embrace the initiative. iPads are not like networked computers, in that they don't really come with "multi-user" options. Students do best if they can feel like the device is theirs to "customize" and can expect a certain level of privacy with the device for a semester or school year, as opposed to being just an object they put back on the cart for the next person at the end of the class period.

Revision [30015]
This is an old revision of LegacyOS made by JohnBiles on 2014-03-28 00:51:25.
Legacy OS 2.1 LTS Released!
Today sees the release of Legacy OS 2.1 LTS (Long Term Release) the final Series 2 release ever! While there won't be any new releases for the 2 Series you can still expect new applications will be added to the repository over time. In this release you'll find some new applications and a few that have been update like the Opera Web Browser. Those who are currently using Legacy OS 2 will notice an improvement in Usability / Look and Feel. A number of configuring applications that once looked more like scripts now look like normal applications. With over 200 menu choices for users to choose from Legacy OS 2.1 LTS brings together a collection of extremely useful applications that could make a Pentium III PC far more useful then a user could imagine. Install once and use for years to come.
Download iso from Here! https://sourceforge.net/projects/legacyoslinux/
Download Extra Applications from Here: http://puppylinuxstuff.meownplanet.net/LegacyOS/Legacy-OS-2-Apps-Repository/ Note: Depending on the version of Legacy OS 2 your using some Applications included in the Repository may already be installed on your system. Please check Menu before downloading an already installed Application.
Our best releases coming in 2013 starting with Legacy OS 2.1 Gamer available NOW!
To start things off Legacy OS 2 Gamer has been released. Months of testing and searching the Internet for Pentium III compatible Games has resulted in this release. From Card games to 3D type games like Prboom the open source release of the classic game Doom, this release will bring many hours of fun for families who can't afford Quad Core Gaming PC's and only have access to Pentium III and 4 PC's. Also included in this release is Opera 12 Web Browser with Flash for excellent HTML5 Internet browsing and Amarok Music Player to manage your music collection. Pentium III PC's make great Jukeboxes when connected to a Amplifier and a couple of Speakers. To complete this release and upcoming releases the look and feel has been updated. Just does tell friends how old your PC is and they'll never know. (Please Note: Legacy OS 2.1 Gamer is for PC's built from 2000 to 2006. While most of these PC's will run Legacy OS, due to the large number of variances in Hardware Specification not all will be supported. As Legacy OS is a free download all you have to lose is one blank CD.)
Download from Here! https://sourceforge.net/projects/legacyoslinux/
Legacy OS : The best way to be compatible with old Hardware is to build on top of an old legacy System Core...
Each Legacy OS Series 2 release builds on the release before. Legacy OS 2 Series System Core dates back to 2006. It is about refining a concept to bring Users of old Computers an Operating System built for Today's needs up to a point. WiFi and Bluetooth aren't supported due to the fact the Hardware Legacy OS Series 2 is intended for most likely doesn't have them installed. Ethernet and Dial Up connection only. Turn a Windows 98/ME/XP SP1 PC in to a modern usable Desktop to surf the Net, Listen to Music, Create documents, Play Games and More.
Legacy OS Series 2 sadly won't run on all 2000 to 2006 PC's released. As Legacy OS is a free download all you have to lose is one blank CD. Try Legacy OS Live before installing to confirm compatibility with your Hardware. (Note: Generally the more basic the hardware the more chance you have of a successful install! Fancy Graphic Cards and alike aren't supported. If you have such Hardware Legacy OS 2 isn't for you!)
Legacy OS 2 fits on a CD so old PC's with CD Drives only can still use Legacy. What's the use of providing a Legacy Operating System on a DVD if the User can't run it?
I do a lot of testing of other Distro's to see what the world of "Open Source" is up to and not develop in isolation. What really disappoints me is how little is included in these so called Mini Distro's. A user has to spend hours adding all the Applications they need which in turn no longer make these Mini Distro's MINI !!!
At this point even I realize how unique Legacy OS 2 really is. The number of Applications included in Legacy OS 2 by default really is amazing. Years of searching the Internet for lost forgot gems and incorporating in Legacy brings to the user a great install and use Operating System. In 15-30 minutes a user can install Legacy OS 2 to a COMPATIBLE 2000 - 2006 PC / Laptop and begin watching Youtube, playing MP3's etc which normally requires some extra install of so called "Restricted" pack. Now lets say a user has no access to the Internet for one reason or another and requires Codecs etc what do they do?
Find some unwanted unloved 2000 - 2006 PC / Laptop and see just how usable Legacy OS 2 really can be...
Not heard of Legacy OS formerly TEENpup Linux before? What's it history?
Legacy OS 2.1 Gamer is the Tenth release with version 1.0.0 originally being released back in March 2007
What's the Difference between Legacy OS 2 and Legacy OS 4 Mini
Legacy OS 2 is based on the Puppy 2 Series (Kernel 2.6.18)
Legacy OS 4 Mini is based on the Puppy 4 Series (Kernel 2.6.25)
Legacy OS 4 Mini.iso included on 2nd DVD of October 2012 issue of Linux Format Magazine
If you've brought this issue and would like to try Legacy OS 4 Mini then there is no need for you to download the iso.
2012 Legacy OS 4 Mini is Here!
Today sees the release of Legacy OS 4 Mini an Update / Replacement for TEENpup 2010 Mini Beta. Those updating from TEENpup 2010 Mini Beta will need to save any important documents, music etc to an external Hard Drive, USB stick etc as a full reinstall is required to update to this new version, sorry!
This release sees TEENpup 2010 Mini Beta rebranded to Legacy OS 4 Mini. Users now have a choice between Legacy OS 2 (Puppy Series 2 based) and Legacy OS 4 Mini (Puppy Series 4 based) depending on Hardware / Requirements.
New to Legacy OS, what's with the name? Legacy OS as the name suggests is a Linux Distribution designed to run on obsolete Legacy Hardware. A User should be able to bring back to life a PC or Laptop running a Pentium III or 4 Processor. This release of Legacy OS is targeted at users running a minimum of the following: Pentium III 800Mhz Processor with 256Mb's of Ram and a minimum of 4GB for the Hard Drive. Those with the last generation of Pentium 4 Processors with 1GB of Ram and a 40GB plus size Hard Drive will enjoy applications that open fast and run fast.
Another important aspect of Legacy OS is the way it looks. Just because you're using legacy Hardware doesn't mean it needs to look like it. Very few Users want to use something that looks like Windows 95. Legacy OS 4 Mini brings to a user a modern up to date Desktop with a Quick Launch Application / Information Sidebar unique to Legacy OS.
With this release come a large number of improvements which will provide the average User with a better overall experience. Legacy OS 4 Mini now includes Firefox and Opera by default. To make your online experience as enjoyable as possible, Adobe Flashplayer 11, Java 1.6.0_30 and a number of other Plugins and Codecs are included ready to go. No need to download anything once the install is completed. For Chat Skype and Pidgin are included. Transmission and Ktorrent are included for file sharing. Osmo and Kontact for managing Appointments, Birthdays, Phone Numbers and more. Amarok and Javatunes should be able to manage anyone's Music Collection. Photo collections will be easily managed by Digikam. From playing CD's to ripping them to MP3 it's all included. Ebooks are covered by FBreader, Pdf's by Foxit and Kpdf. Got a need to create some Graphics / Drawing apps like Qcad, Kivio, Kolourpaint, Inkscape, Dia, JFdraw, Kiconedit have you covered. Want to watch Movies on your PC / Laptop, Legacy OS 4 Mini comes with a large range of Multimedia Players and Codecs by default.
I encourage a user to spent time with this release, because only with time will a user discover how usable Legacy OS 4 Mini can be.

2011 Release Announcement for Legacy OS 2
After 9 months of development, today sees the release of Legacy OS 2.
With this release comes a host of improvements over Legacy OS. Many questions were asked about what makes a good Operating System. Users who have installed and used the previous release of Legacy OS regularly for a period of time will notice the improvements. I recommend everyone using Legacy OS to upgrade to Legacy OS 2. (Requires Re-install)
Where to start? The focus was to look at all expects of Legacy OS and make improvements.
We started by looking at the default Desktop and the gtk and kde themes it used.
It was decided to create a pleasant neutral look to tie all the include applications together. A desktop environment that was easy on the eye and usable every day. The look had to be usable for those who want or need to use Legacy OS 2 as their main Operating System.
While the gtk and kde themes share common elements, there are differences by design.
You'll only find one Window Manager (ICEWM). One icewm, gtk and kde theme. The goal was to keep it as simple as possible. We didn't want to confuse new users with multiple options.
Next was the look and feel of the applications. How does each application look to the user.
Does it look dated, what can we do to make it more visually appealing so users will want to use it. Can it be updated to a later version?
A large number of icons were replaced and for the first time new icons were created or modified especially for Legacy OS 2. Unique start up "Splash" imagines were created for a number of Applications.
We looked at ways of making it easier and faster to access applications through the sidebar, task bar and menu.
Where needed pop up messages provide unique information about an application to a user.
Applications like the ROX File Manager allow easy access to tasks by just right mouse clicking on a file.
Now it was time to turn our attention to the Applications included in Legacy OS.
Any application for one reason or another not up to standard was removed. Unused system files were deleted.
Archived repositories of many Distro's were searched for suitable applications. Forum's were searched back a number of years for lost and forgotten applications. These all had to be tested.
All the applications included in Legacy OS 2 were chosen for one reason or another. Yes we know there are newer versions available. What we looked for wasn't the age of the application but its usability, reliability and suitability on the Legacy Hardware this Operating System is designed for.
Applications New in Legacy OS 2:
asunder 1.6.2 (Music CD Ripper)
gwenview 1.1.8 (Image Manager)
k9copy 1.0.4 (DVD9 to DVD5 converter)
kadu 0.6.0 (Internet Chat Client for Linux)
kalcul 0.1 (Allows children to test their Maths skills)
kamix 0.6.6 (Sound Mixer will lots of options)
kdocker 1.3 (Docks open Applications in to the system tray)
kid3 0.5 (Edit/Rename MP3 song files)
koverartist 0.3.2 (Create CD/DVD cover art)
ksquirrel 0.8.0 (Image / document viewer)
kuake 0.3 (Pop down Terminal)
mandvd v2.2 (Video DVD Creator)
mrxvt 0.5.1 (Terminal)
multimedia converter 1.5 (Convert many Video/Sound formats easily)
oregano 0.40.4 (Schematic capture and circuit simulation)
pconvert v2.15-1 (Units Converter cms to inches, kmh to mph etc)
qalculate v0.7.2 (Units Converter cms to inches, kmh to mph etc and more)
quacc v3.5 (Home accounting software)
rekordmydesktop 0.3 (Record your desktop in to OGG format)
screensaver mu-v0.2 (MU's experimental basic Screensaver improved)
tuxpaint 0.9.14 (Small children's paint Application)
xvidcap 1.1.5 (Record parts of your desktop in to Mpeg format)
you2pup 2.1.4 (Download and convert videos from Youtube)
Applications Removed for the following reasons:
fluxbox 0.9.3 (To focus on one window manager only)
frostwire 4.13.3 (No longer connected to Host/Legal problems with files)
kooldock 0.3 (Again to focus on one window manager)
kover 2.9.6 (Replaced KoverArtist)
kuickshow 0.8.12 (Replaced by better Applications)
numerical chameleon 1.6.0 (Replaced by Qalculate)
showimg 0.9.4.1 (Replaced by better Applications)
grip 3.0.0 (Replaced by Asunder)
A number of files applications rely on have also been updating.
For Example: ffmpeg updated to 0.6.1 (A number of newer multimedia formats now supported)
The Hard Drive Installer has been improved within the original framework. Message boxes to guide a user through the install and rewording of the Installer should allow more users to successfully install Legacy OS 2 on their Hard Drives. While it's no up to Ubuntu standards, it's still an improvement over the Installer in Legacy OS.
The above processors were performed many times over and are what makes Legacy OS 2 our best release ever!
I hope you enjoy using Legacy OS 2 as much as we enjoyed creating it for you!

Legacy OS Doesn't work on my PC? Why?
During development Legacy OS is tested on 8 different PC's and 2 Laptops to confirm it runs with no problems. It appears from Feedback received that those experiencing problems may be using PC's / Laptop's that are "TOO NEW!".
The best PC's / Laptop's to try Legacy OS on don't have fancy Graphics Cards etc. Your looking for PC / Laptop that came with a 800 Mhz or greater Pentium III or 4 Processor (CPU), 256Mb of RAM and a 4Gb Hard Drive. Most basic PC's / Laptop's built between 2000 and 2006 should work.

Legacy OS has the most chance of working on a old PC / Laptop that came with a IDE Hard Drive, basic on board graphics and not to much else.
Expecting it to run on a modern duo core PC with the latest and greatest graphics card, Wifi, Bluetooth and have them all work is asking to much.
My advice is to seek what you'd think would be the best candidate for the nearest Landfill site and boot Legacy OS up on that.
The Bad News: If you successfully get it up and running, forget about using it Wirelessly (you may be lucky as minimum wireless driver support) or connecting your Bluetooth device to it. Also don't expect much luck with your Webcam either. Legacy OS isn't sounding that great is it! maybe its not for you.
The Good News: Once you except the limitations of Legacy OS you will start to appreciate what Legacy OS had to offer. Start by connecting it by Ethernet (Wired) once you have that up and running, you now have the perfect tool to do a bit of Web surfing, keeping up with friends on and Twitter, receive Emails, write a quick letter, create a 3D drawing, listen to MP3's, watch a few AVI's, download stuff the list goes on and on.
See Legacy OS as a second PC for the family or child you wouldn't have because the budget at the moment won't extend to buying a new $$$ one.
Don't have a second PC even an old one? Worldwide there are a large number of old PC's sitting idle just waiting for Legacy OS to bring them back to life. Asking a family member or friend if they have one tucked away, the answer might surprise you when they happily thank you for taking it, saving them a trip to the local dump...

The SEC announced recently that it had approved new rules governing how broker-dealers treat the lost holders of securities.
The approval, which was unanimous, requires BDs to conduct searches for holders of securities with whom they have lost contact. A similar requirement already existed for recordkeeping transfer agents, who are the intermediaries between BD and clearing house. The Dodd-Frank Act tasked the SEC with extending the rule to apply to BDs as well.
The new rules also require broker-dealers and other securities market participants to provide notifications to persons who have not processed checks that they have received in connection with their securities holdings.
SEC Chairman Elisse Walter (right) said in a statement, "For the first time, broker-dealers will have a duty to reach out and find those they have lost touch with. It's a straightforward rule with a common-sense objective." She added, "Among other things, it will make it more likely that investors will get the money that they may not have realized is owed to them."
The original rule, Rule 17Ad-17, required only recordkeeping transfer agents to exercise reasonable care to ascertain the correct addresses of "lost securityholders" and conduct certain database searches for them. Holders of securities may experience financial harm because of loss of contact, since without it, they no longer receive corporate communications or interest and dividend payments to which they may be entitled.
Another risk to security holders out of touch with BDs and transfer agents is that their securities, and any related interest and dividend payments to which they may be entitled, often end up at risk of being deemed abandoned under operation of state escheatment laws.
The new rules add a number of provisions to safeguard lost holders of securities. They include:
- A requirement for BDs to conduct certain searches for lost holders of securities that transfer agents currently are required to conduct.
- A requirement that "paying agents," including certain issuers, BDs, transfer agents, and other entities, notify certain persons—termed "missing securityholders" in the statute and "unresponsive payees" in the adopted rules—in writing that the paying agent has sent the person a check that has not yet been negotiated.
- An exclusion for paying agents from their notification requirement when the value of a check that has not yet been negotiated is less than $25.
- A new provision that clarifies that paying agents' notification requirement shall have no effect on a state's ability to collect funds that it deems abandoned under so-called state escheatment laws.
- A new conforming technical rule to help ensure that BDs have notice of their new obligations regarding lost holders of securities and unresponsive payees.
The amendments will become effective 60 days after the date of publication of the release in the Federal Register, and the compliance date will be one year after the date of the release's publication in the Federal Register. The new rules are available in draft form while pending review at the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) of the major rule analysis under the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act. After the OMB review is complete, the Commission will issue the rule release in final form and send it to the Federal Register for publication.

Making the Invisible Visible: Valuing Energy Efficiency Improvements in a Real Estate Transaction
Often, when homeowners make improvements to an existing house, the most important aspects of home performance—including safety, comfort, energy efficiency, durability, and environmental impact—are literally invisible during key steps of any home sale or refinance transaction.
One result is that energy efficiency investments are overlooked or inaccurately valued at the time of a home sale. The key to making these investments visible to everyone involved in a home sale—including appraisers, Realtors, buyers, and sellers—is standardized documentation and consistent communication across the energy efficiency and real estate industries.
A new paper from CNT Energy and National Home Performance Council shows how proper documentation, verification, and standardization of energy efficiency improvements can add value to a home that owners can recoup at sale.
The paper provides a blueprint and outlines seven steps the energy efficiency industry must take to unlock the value of efficiency in the real estate market:
- Consistently document energy efficiency improvements
- Ensure data is incorporated into the appraisal process
- Work with the real estate community to reflect these improvements in local for-sale listings
- Capitalize on existing education and training opportunities
- Report on the growing inventories of energy efficient homes
- Develop standardized IT solutions
- Work with partner financial institutions
The outcome is that energy efficient features become visible and can be accurately valued when a home is sold. This lays the groundwork for a virtuous cycle in which homeowners are eager to invest in energy efficiency improvements because they know that they can recover some or all of their investments at the time of the home sale.
The full paper is available online at www.cntenergy.org/media/Unlocking_Value_2013.pdf.
Those interested in learning more are invited to participate in a webinar on Wednesday, October 2, at 11 a.m. CDT. Details and registration are available at www.cntenergy.org/events.

|Rebekkah Brunson recorded her second double-double of the season
There were contrasting emotions for ZVVZ USK Prague and USO Mondeville as the former punched their ticket for the play-offs with a hard-fought 56-51 victory to leave the latter reflecting on what might have been.
Both teams knew what they needed to do heading into the contest and it was a really intense tussle - or at least right up until near the end of the third quarter when Prague made a decisive and game-changing burst.
It had initially looked as if USO Mondeville might be left stranded on the starting line when Prague jumped out of the blocks and into a 15-4 lead, but they recovered in double-quick time by scoring seven of the next eight points.
Their recovery continued, and approaching the midway point of the second quarter, they managed to tie the game through Noel Kuin.
But, Prague finished the half strongly as successive baskets by Kia Vaughn put them 29-23 to the good.
The hosts then exploded during the latter part of the third period when after leading by just three points, they outscored Mondeville 12-4 to take control at 47-37.
Whilst Prague suddenly found themselves with one foot in the play-offs, it wasn't to prove a comfortable passage since the visitors held them to just nine points during the last ten minutes.
Having halved the gap, Mondeville ran out of time and slipped to defeat.
A potential reprieve also went up in smoke as Perfumerias Avenida got the win they needed at Novi Zagreb to confirm the end of the road for the French club.
Rebekkah Brunson had 12 points and 11 rebounds for Prague and Kristen Sharp top scored in the game with 20 points for Mondeville.

I sit at Table 16 and listen as Tracy Williams, a former student, honors me with the Champion of Education Award.
I sit at Table 16 and listen as Tracy Williams, a former student, honors me with the Champion of Education Award.
Although we are separated from each other by more than a hundred dinner guests, the public address system carries her words to me as if we were the only two people in the room.
Tracy, in recognizing me, quotes from the poet Robert Frost. Frost deflected personal praise. He felt discomfort when called "poet." He said that "poet" was a praise word and should be used rarely. I feel the same way about "teacher." To have been a part of the education community of Henderson County is honor enough.
During the past year (2012), the idea of creating a committee dedicated to preserving and sharing the rich history of education in Henderson County became a reality.
The 100th anniversary of Rosa Edwards School (now the central office building on 4th Avenue West) was celebrated, and the 9th Avenue/6th Avenue School commemorative marker was repositioned on 6th Avenue West at Oakdale cemetery.
Under the excellent leadership of former West Henderson Coach Rick Wood, the Henderson County Education History Initiative is organized and committed to realizing its mission. The three sponsoring groups include the Henderson County Board of Commissioners, the Henderson County Education Foundation and the Henderson County Board of Public Education. The committee: Patsy Farmer Jones, Nancy C. Edwards, Malvern "Buddy" West, Drew Brannon, Barbara Case Blaine, Lisa Edwards and Shannon Baldwin.
The committee is planning two celebration-recognitions for spring 2013: in April, at the Cradle of Education in Henderson County, Mills River Academy; and in May, at the former Edneyville High School.
A room has been set aside on the second floor of HCPS Central Office equipped with telephone connection, filing cabinets and work space for research. The committee is already receiving education-history artifacts.
In 2003, the Henderson County Education Foundation Hall of Fame was created. The foundation is skillfully directed by Dr. Don Jones. Fourteen "education champions" were inducted that first year: R.G. Anders, Mary Kellogg Bell, Charles L. Byrd, C.F. Jervis. Ernest L. Justus, Dr. William D. Killian, Grace E. Ledbetter, John Marable, Glenn C. Marlow, Dr. Amy F. Pace, Hugh D. Randall, Susie Smith Sinclair, Joe D. Spearman Sr. and Dr. Kenneth B. "Keg" Wheeler. Ten are now deceased. Recently we lost Grace Ledbetter, Keg Wheeler and Joe Spearman.
Ledbetter gave a lifetime of service to public education. During her career of service to Henderson County public schools, she worked in payroll, textbooks and accounting. In 1975 she assumed the position of finance officer. Her 43 years of continuous service (July 1, 1948-June 1, 1992) are legendary.
Wheeler was the director of physical education for Henderson County Schools. He retired in 1986. He served as director of the Outdoor Education program from 1986-1996. His citation read: "Wheeler has done more to influence the basic elementary physical education program in the state than any other person. His programs are known all over the state and nation."
Spearman had a unique appreciation of the value of hard work. He championed educational advancement, particularly training and retraining the local work force. It is very doubtful that the many accomplishments of Blue Ridge Community College would have been possible without his strong leadership as board chair.
Since that first year, the number of honorees has risen to more than 80 — each one a "champion of education in Henderson County."
HCEHI mission statement: The Henderson County Education History Initiative will methodically seek, collect and organize all known information about education in Henderson County, so that an accurate history can be documented, preserved and made available in accessible forms for present and future generations. (Telephone HCEHI at 697-4733.)
I have always found that accepting praise is more difficult than receiving criticism. Don't ask me why.
I will take advice given to me by my mother years ago and simply say, "Thank you" — to the Chamber of Commerce and to Tracy.
Sitting in that large dining area at Kenmure Country Club, I recall the sheer joy of teaching.

Basic Broadcaster (bb) allows you to transfer text messages simply from one computer to another on a LAN. The messages are broadcast in the LAN and and can be received by each machine running bb. No setup is required other than starting the application. The messages are transmitted as plain text, and no encryption is done. The broadcasts can only be sent to machines on the same subnet as the sending machine, and will not be forwarded by routers to the Internet.
NaturePHP is a classes wrapper using PHP's autoload to create a non-intrusive, simple, organized, and extensible library system. It is aimed at intermediate and advanced PHP developers, providing a lot of non-intrusive functionality for Web site and application development. Upcoming development will include internal library management and the ability to download/update libraries from the repository.
SDLbits is a very lightweight SDL wrapper for Java. This library was designed to be very small and simple. It does not use Swig, but goes directly from "native" Java definitions to the sdlbits C wrapper library to SDL or OpenGL (in C). All symbols are exposed as they would be in C, except the "SDL_" prefix has been removed, since all names are inside the SDL class. The SDL structures from C are translated to very simple Java classes, such as SDL.VideoInfo. Most fields are exposed as read-only "get" methods, but "set" methods for writable members are supported as well. These classes simply interface to the actual C data with a ByteBuffer "pointer".
Treep is a simple language for doing symbolical computations. It operates on numbers and strings that can be organized in more complex objects. These objects are lists of name-value pairs that are stored in memory as AVL trees. It has about sixty built-in functions to operate on such data and a way to define new functions. Treep syntax very much resembles Lisp. The power of treep is its simplicity and security. Treep is a good tool do process objects and relations between them. For example it is possible to define graphs as a sets of vertices and edges in text file, parse that file, do any computations you like, write modified data to text file. Treep works well on graphs, trees, linked lists, simple hashes. Treep is not good at processing texts, dealing with system input/output.
Avoision is a very simple arcade-style game. There's no story, no fancy graphics, no campaigns--just frantic, high-speed gameplay. Gameplay consists of moving a green block around with the arrow keys. The goal is to capture the red block before the timer runs out to score points. You must avoid all the white blocks that appear as you progress through the game.
PerlDaemon is a minimal Unix daemon framework. It can be programmed in Perl to perform any task. It supports automatic daemonizing, logging and logrotate support, clean shutdown, and PID files (including a check on startup). It's easy to configure and easy to extend by customizing the daemonloop subroutine.
Simblog aims to be one of the most easy-to-use and lightweight blogging platforms. It emphasizes user experience, workflow, and ease of use without neglecting usability and extensibility. It will take full advantage of what HTML5 and CSS3 have to offer without delving too deeply into experimental features. It is built on its own lightweight framework, which allows a high degree of extensibility and modularity for your blog. It uses Smarty as a templating engine (which also provides a caching mechanism), jQuery and Kendo UI for frontend design, and MySQL as a database.
A high performance, scalable database modeled after Bigtable.
