By Nick Totten for europeantour.com
From Pléneuf
Andrea Pavan continued his exemplary form in France to streak four strokes clear of the chasing pack after a superb round of 65 at the Open Blue Green Côtes d'Armor Bretagne.
The Italian finished at 11 under par after 36 holes thanks to a clean card at Golf Blue Green de Pléneuf Val André that saw him birdie the first, second, eighth, 16th and 17th holes to retain his position atop the leaderboard.
It was a long day for Pavan who had to come back early on Friday morning to complete an opening round of 64, but he did not let that affect him, continuing his form into the afternoon's play to forge a commanding position.
Half of the field will still need to return on Saturday morning to complete their rounds after the four hour fog delay on day one, but regardless, it is Pavan who is the man to beat as he looks for a second title of the year after his Bad Griesbach Challenge Tour by Hartl Resort victory back in July.
"I got off to a good start as the wind was blowing a bit on the front nine," explained Pavan. "I never really had to putt for par today, it was all very steady. My back felt better too, but I'm tired, as it has been a long day.
"I'm where I want to be going into the weekend, and hopefully I can play the way I have been and stay patient, because today I didn't birdie the par fives, which could have been frustrating, but I kept calm.
"On the back nine I didn't make a birdie until the 16th either, so I could have lost my patience even though I was playing well, because when you get so many chances you just want to make as many as you can.
"Anyone would have taken double digits under par after two rounds though, as this golf course is very tricky, and if you miss once on the wrong side it gets you and you can make big numbers very easily with the crosswinds. That is the hard part, so you have to judge it, be solid, and trust your numbers.
"I'm happy where I am though, I've been here before and I know what to do. I can only control what I do over the weekend and we'll add it up at the end."
In second place is Alan Dunbar, who had led overnight after Thursday, and the Northern Irishman continued his fine form to finish at seven under par alongside Jamie McLeary, who is through 15 holes, at seven under par.
Dunbar will start the day four shots behind Pavan, and was glad to finish, as a member of the last group to make it to the clubhouse on Friday night.
"Francois (Delamontagne) chipped one down there so we could get going down the last, as it was still playable, and it should earn me a few extra hours in bed tomorrow. I played pretty well again today, gave myself chances, and kept the mistakes off the card.
"Starting tomorrow four behind won't change anything for me, I'll just keep doing what I have done the first two days. I have played well, and I've had plenty of chances again today so I'll just keep doing what I've been doing and we'll see what happens over the weekend."
One shot further back is Guillaume Cambis who carded the round of the week so far. The Frenchman came within a whisker of equalling Phillip Archer's course record of 61 on Friday, a score the Englishman carded in 2011 en route to the title, but he narrowly missed from ten feet at the last.
However, Cambis was reluctant to get too carried away with Friday's round.
"This is what I wanted to do at the beginning of the week, to be in the top ten after two rounds in order to have something to play for on Saturday and Sunday. I started at two over, but I just played it shot by shot today, and I did not expect a lot of good shots, but then one putt went in, then another, then two putts on a par five for birdie.
"I was therefore three under quickly, so I thought it could be a good day and just went for it. I holed a lot of putts, and sometimes your game looks like eight under and you shoot two, but today I think my game looked two under and I shot eight.
"I'm happy, but I don't feel confident as my game does not feel very good, so I need to go and practice for tomorrow."
Alongside Cambis is compatriot Adrien Saddier who had some fireworks of his own on Friday, opening his round with six birdies in a row from the tenth to shoot a 65 and finish in a tie for third at six under par.
Of the others still out on course, Brinson Paolini is well placed in a tie for sixth at five under par through 15 holes, the same mark as Wallace Booth who is through 12.
Play will resume in the second round at 8.30am on Saturday morning.

LeTourneau University programming team won first place among 59 teams from Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana competing in the 2012 South Central USA Regional International Collegiate Programming Competition (ICPC). The programming contest challenges teams of three university students to use their programming skills and rely on their mental endurance to solve complex, real world problems under a grueling deadline.
"The first place finish should mean an invitation to the World Finals in Saint Petersburg, Russia, next summer," said Brent Baas, team coach and faculty adviser. "This year was LETU's fourth 1st or 2nd place finish since 2001. We have sent teams to the World Finals in Honolulu, Hawaii; Vancouver, Canada; and Prague, Czechoslovakia."
LeTourneau has had teams competing in the ICPC since the late 70's and has competed each year since 1993. Since the competition does not distinguish between schools with graduate programs and those like LETU with only undergraduate majors, some of the schools may have had graduate student on their teams, making the competition an extra challenge.
"LETU is the only undergraduate school in our region that has sent teams to the World Finals since 1993, when a team from Abilene Christian University was invited," Baas said.
The first place team of Team VC-22 included Terry Penner, a computer science and mathematics major from Kenora, Canada; Micah Shennum, a senior computer science network security major from Winona Lake, Ind.; and Daniel Rothfus, a junior computer science network security major from Fort Worth, Texas.
Two other LETU teams competed. Team VC-12 won 26th place and Team TC-264 won 40th place.
Team VC-12 members are Isacc Davis, a sophomore computer science major from Groton, Conn.; David Ilgenfritz, a sophomore computer science and mathematics major from Dornsife, Penn.; and Ethan Sikes, a junior computer science major from Duncanville, Texas.
Team TC-264 members are Paul Ambler, a junior computer science engineering technology major from Lindale, Texas; Spenser Bray, a sophomore computer science game development major from Sherwood, Ore.; and Hazen Johnson, a sophomore computer science game development major from Kent, Wash.
The contest was hosted at Baylor, LSU and LeTourneau. This year was the fourth year LETU was a remote site for the competition.

It will probably depend on the size of the pieces... but at what point should I stop assuming a linear relationship?

It will probably depend on the size of the pieces... but at what point should I stop assuming a linear relationship?
I was prompted to ask in a previous question.
My experimental evidence comes from baked potatoes.
1 potato takes 5 minutes to be at my liking
2 potatoes come out the same at 10 minutes
8 potatoes come out the same at about 35 minutes, i.e. less time per potato.If I let them go to 40 minutes (5x8) they become dry and wizened.
The total mass plays a role then.
To some approximation the whole cavity can be thought of as full of microwave radiation at some fixed power density. (Of course, we all know this approximation is weak 'cause some food has hot and cold spots, right?)
In that case, adding a second separate piece of food should have no effect, and you should use the same time for two pieces as for one. See the part of anna's answer about two potatoes.
However, this relies on the magnetron being able to keep the cavity flooded at a constant energy density even while the food is absorbing some of the power. It may be that the power will sag, in which case it will take a bit longer; that's the "many potatoes" part of anna's answer.
For a long time my rule of thumb was for $N$ pieces multiple the time by $1.5^{N-1}$, but I have begun to wonder if the base should be lower with my current machine.
Additional consideration: if your "extra" food is stacked or placed close together parts of it may shield other parts which almost certainly calls for more cooking time (perhaps at lower power).
Let's assume that heat losses are relatively insignificant comparing to heating power.
1:Microwave oven's power is likely to stay constant, but it's efficiency may increase with more bacon slices.
2:Roughly speaking, it will take time $t_1$ to heat up the food to 100 celsius , typically followed by time $t_2$ for the food to cook to whatever condition you find tasty (of course in practice it will also cook some during the heating up, and the $t_2$ may be zero). Doubling the power per bacon will only cut down the $t_1$ two times, but it won't cut down $t_2$ (and at the end of heating the bacon will be less cooked).
Both of those things suggest that microwave oven will need less than twice the time for 2 bacons, even if heating time is twice as long.
However, if the bacon is considered cooked by the time it reaches 100 celsius in both cases the relationship will be closer to linear.
Normally the heat losses increase with increase of the surface so you may have to cook even longer if the free surface is doubled. 8 potatoes put close to each other may have smaller free surface and get cooked faster than 5x8.
Ah, if you stuff your MW oven with too much of food that needs high temperature for cooking, then your temperature may become so low that cooking will take much more time.
Bacon in the microwave oven is a real-world problem that does not reduce easily to a physical model. It is not clear what cooking bacon in the microwave actually means. Does it have to reach a certain internal temperature? Does it need be exposed to some above threshold temperature for a certain period of time to kill bacteria? Or maybe it needs to rapidly absorb a certain amount of energy per gram to break down the fibers and soften up?
It would be easier if you asked about (and/or experimented with) boiling up water in the microwave. Water boils when it reaches 100 degrees Celsius, and that is very clear. In this way, effects of cooling, feedback of load on efficiency, etc., can be isolated and investigated in detail. You can experiment with boiling up twice as much water in a glass vs boiling up two glasses of water (test the impact of cooling). You can try to boil up 1 cup vs 1 gallon (correct for the effect of cooling and learn if the extra load affects the power output). To avoid superheated water, you need to stop every minute and stir (see Superheated water on Mythbusters). And you must use fresh tap water every time so it contains the same amount of air.

Seth Franco offers basketballs, inspiration
Seth Franco knows how to lead a crowd. Even before the recognizable Harlem Globetrotter's theme music began, even before he walked on the Moose Lake High School auditorium stage November 5, Franco endeared himself to the hearts of men, women and children present.
The professional ball handler passed a spinning basketball from one member of the audience to another, giving instant lessons on how to keep the moving orb on the tip of one finger.
Eager expectation, admiration and joy was obvious in the eyes of audience members as Franco made his way to as many people as possible before he climbed on stage to greet everyone.
When he did, his control extended even further.
"Everyone say, 'Hi Seth!'" said Franco.
Everyone said, "Hi Seth!"
"It's good to be here in Minnesota," said Franco. "Hey, everybody, let's do a little New York Harlem Shake Shoulder Shrug."
For those in the group who had no idea what he was talking about, music filled the auditorium while Franco demonstrated the Harlem Shake. It only lasted a few seconds, but when it was over, the music changed to a soft, melodious rhythm while the entertainer called out the next directive.
"If you don't like to dance, that's okay," said Franco. "Everybody loves a good hug. Stand up right now, wherever you are. Stand up. Come on. Give someone a big hug."
Laughter erupted. Everyone got to their feet. Everyone hugged. Then Franco was back at it.
"I talked with your kids in school earlier today about what I love the most," said Franco, "and that's my family. I've been married for nine years to a beautiful girl named Sarah. I have a 6-year-old daughter. Her name is Jade.
"I shared my story with your students earlier today. I reminded them that life is a gift; that every single one of us, like a basketball, we go through times where we feel pushed down, but like a basketball, you can't stay down. You've got to bounce back."
Franco went on to say that famous people like Michael Jordan, in his career, missed 12,345 shots. Babe Ruth struck out over 1,331 times.
"You know what," said Franco, "being a champion is not about being perfect. It's about never giving up."
Each tidbit of valuable information was interspersed with more directives, which the audience willingly followed. Then, his story began in earnest.
"For me, when I was growing up, my favorite thing to do was play basketball," said Franco. "I really was in love with the sport.
"The only problem is, I was born with what's called hip dysplasia. If you don't know what hip dysplasia is, it's improper bone structure. I was born with a very mild case, which they say is worse because they go undetected."
By the time Franco's case was detected, he was a professional ball player with the Harlem Glob Trotters.
"For years I had hidden the pain," said Franco. "I didn't tell anyone. I just kept going until, one day, I wasn't able to move."
Franco's career with the Globetrotters ended not long after it began. Not only did he suffer intense physical pain, he entered severe depression. Though he did not go into detail with his young audience, he did emphasize a well-learned lesson.
"I've learned what life is really all about," said Franco. "It's not about being better than anyone. It's about being the best you can be. Life is a gift. If you believe life is a gift, clap your hands."
Everyone clapped their hands.
There was continual interaction between the performer and audience members, whether it was bringing volunteers up on stage or throwing gift basketballs to outstretched hands or getting everyone to think about what he was saying. Then, Franco got to the point of his visit.
"Everybody's broken," said Franco. "Nobody's perfect. Matter of fact, the Bible says, when you come to God just the way you are, he doesn't push you away. He doesn't laugh at you. When God sees us, he says, 'I have scars, too, and I think you're pretty cool.'
"If you've ever been hurt, there is someone who knows exactly how you feel, more than anyone else in this world. His name is Jesus."
As Franco went on, he told everyone his greatest fear was not being able to take care of his wife and child if he couldn't play basketball.
"When you get that good at something, you don't spend a lot of time learning to do anything else," said Franco, "but you know what God said? He told me to trust him. 'I'll take care of your family. No one loves your daughter more than me.'"
Franco did trust God. He now travels the world doing performances with a basketball, sharing his love for Jesus. He is able to provide for his family.
Before the evening came to a close, Franco reached out to everyone with an opportunity to pray. Many did. He recommended that people meet with one of the representatives from the local churches who were present that evening.
"I'm going to leave Minnesota tonight to return to my home," said Franco, "but it's important for you to keep learning. Remember, when you're hurting, don't run from God. Run to him."

While the PC is still the most popular gaming device for many online gamers, smartphones and tablets are quickly catching up. Rackspace Startup Program startup Double Stallion Games is an independent game studio based in Montreal, Canada, that focuses on mobile games. The company's mission is to bring arcade-style games to mobile devices the right way with HD cartoon graphics and great touch controls.
Double Stallion's first offering, Big Action Mega Fight (BAMF), is on the iOS mobile platform and coming soon to Android. In BAMF, you play Brick Strongarm, fighting in the city of Megatropolis to rid the city of crime and corruption. BAMF takes inspiration from classic arcade brawlers, but has an interesting modern twist and great controls.
"Double Stallion Games formed as a company in Execution Labs, a first-of-its-kind game incubator, also in Montreal," explains Double Stallion Games CEO, Dan Menard. "The team shares many members of Crankshaft Games, but also includes new faces."
As Double Stallion Games went through the startup accelerator program at Execution Labs, the team was introduced to the Rackspace Startup Program.
"Our company operates many websites, and we prefer to have direct control over these, so Rackspace makes a lot of sense. One year of essentially free hosting for Double Stallion is simply amazing. It has allowed us to grow without worrying about costs. We'll be expanding our services in 2014, now that the game is launched, and we know Rackspace will be there every step of the way. Currently, we use a variety of services like our JIRA, backups and game backend."
Having a team of Rackspace experts available has freed Double Stallion up to focus on crafting games, which Menard said is itself an art form. The company's developers are the artists.
"Our team of four developers is absolutely amazing," says Menard. "We are all creative people with a long history of playing, enjoying and designing video games. Games are wonderful art projects because they mix practical, technical and creative disciplines into an awesome experience."
The team of gamers at Double Stallion is set on upgrading the BAMF offering with new features and content, says Menard. Looking ahead at 2014, Menard is optimistic about the growth of Double Stallion Games as it continues to beef up BAMF to add new characters and enemies while also producing its next new game.
"We are always driven by making better games and delivering new and meaningful experiences to players," Menard says. "We are working on bringing new features and content to the initial version of BAMF. And, we're also working on the Android version, which will be coming very soon.
The Rackspace Startup Program was there to help Double Stallion Games build Big Action Mega Fight on a world-class cloud platform. Drop the Startup Team a note and let us know if you need help building your startup.

One of our great medal hopes (and certainly one of the most popular) is the diver Tom Daley. It is hard to believe he is only 18 years old as he seems to have been around forever! What I admire about Tom, apart from his immense talent and dedication to his sport, is the aplomb with which he conducts himself – he always comes across so well in interviews, and seems to enjoy himself. I think so many modern sports people often look like they forget they're meant to enjoy it.

Jim Robbins' article "Wildlife Biology Goes High-Tech" is an excellent exploration of the explosion of technology used by wildlife biologists these days (HCN, 12/10/12). As someone who has first-hand experience with some of these technologies, I agree that we can now ask critical ecological and conservation questions that we couldn't have approached a decade or two ago. Still, Robbins brings up an important point that there is a line, somewhere, regarding the invasiveness of our studies and whether they benefit the species. Biologists need to honestly evaluate this.
However, Robbins misses a significant use of technology: community outreach. He negatively focuses on how biologists are now tracking animals from their desks, losing their "field" connection to wildlife, and ultimately hindering conservation. He fails to bring up how technology such as remotely triggered cameras can bring people other than biologists closer to the wildlife -- furthering ecological literacy while maintaining "wild" mystery. Organizations such as the Rocky Mountain Cat Conservancy have programs where high school students operate wildlife cameras and the photos are shown in local coffee shops and community centers to increase awareness and foster stewardship of local wildlife. Communicating the importance of wildlife will allow conservation to succeed in the long run, no matter the technology used to get there.

Anyway, we might have also insinuated that perhaps Councilman Weprin was a bit derelict in his duties to his constituents by spending his afternoon leading around a couple of tourists instead of attending to the important business of the city and his district. Or at least we meant to, so it we didn't insinuate that at some point last week, we're making up for that now.
As it turns out, nothing could be further from the truth!
Not only is Councilman Mark Weprin not derelict in his duties, he is apparently the most dutiful elected official in the City Council. This short release turned up in our inbox last week:
Councilman Mark Weprin has a ninety-nine percent attendance record since he joined the New York City Council one year ago, the highest among the Council Members, excluding the Speaker. Weprin attended 114 out of the 115 committee and legislative meetings in 2010.
"I take very seriously my responsibility of representing the residents of Eastern Queens," said Weprin.
Well, there you have it. Weprin only missed one meeting since taking office last year. Now, the question remains, was the one meeting he missed because he was busy taking in the sights in Lower Manhattan with a couple of visitors from the other side of the pond? We may never know.
Other council members at the top of the list were, Ydanis Rodriguez (D-Manhattan), David Greenfield (D-Brooklyn) and Deborah Rose (D-Staten Island), who all had attendance rates above 98 percent. Councilman Lew Fidler of Brooklyn was close with an attendance rate of 96.7 percent.
But we know, dear goslings, what you really want to know: who had the worst attendance records?
Well that dubious distinction belongs to Councilwoman Helen Foster of the Bronx, who had an attendance record of 61.7 percent. Rounding out the bottom ten were Inez Dickens (D-Manhattan), Joel Rivera (D-Bronx), Sara Gonzalez (D-Brooklyn), Domenic Recchia Jr. (D-Brooklyn), Erik Martin Dilan (D-Brooklyn), Larry Seabrook (D-Bronx), Charles Barron (D-Brooklyn), Vincent Gentile (D-Brooklyn) and James Gennaro (D-Queens), who all had an attendance rate below 80 percent.
Come on folks, it's already a part-time job as it is!

BATAVIA – First-year Batavia wrestling coach Scott Bayer worked as a consultant before becoming a teacher and coach.
While he's not about to flip careers again anytime soon, interior design appears to be a promising fallback should anything change.
Part of Bayer's remodeling plan for the Bulldogs includes refurbishing the wrestling room. Last season, Bayer's seventh as a Batavia assistant, only the team name and two bulldogs were painted on the walls. These days, there are plenty more embellishments, all of them assembled to give athletes a sense of their place in a storied program.
"When they're getting beaten on in here, when they pick their face up off the mat, when they look up, they should see something that reminds them of why they just got beaten on," Bayer said. "Or why they're working so hard. It's meant to inspire, it's meant to motivate, it's meant to do all that."
In addition to the more hands-on decorations – a climbing rope and pull-up bars – there are sections highlighting state qualifiers and past program greats.
Many of the athletes featured on the "Wall of Champions" competed for former Bulldogs coach Tom Arlis, whose sons, Clint and Logan, undoubtedly are part of Batavia wrestling lore.
Tom Arlis retired from coaching after Logan's senior season in 2009-10 but elected to rejoin his one-time assistant, Bayer, who served under former coach Ben Morris the past two seasons. Morris took the coaching job at downstate Fairbury Prairie Central, saying he wanted to be closer to family.
A longtime member of the art department faculty at Naperville North, Arlis thus far has proven more influential with his emphasis on outward expression. As Saturday morning's practice wound down, he instructed the Bulldogs to channel their best war cries during the obligatory sprints, unless they wanted to run them again.
"It's just to make it more enjoyable, get us pumped up to do these sprints, which, by itself probably wouldn't be a fun thing," Batavia senior 160-pounder Jon Wagner said. "He's trying to make it enjoyable while we're getting in better shape."
Wagner joins fellow seniors Joey Shump (126), Charlie Smorczewski (138) and Mickey Watson (195) as captains and team leaders.
Batavia also expected the return of emerging lower weight wrestlers Anthony Scaccia – a 3A state qualifier at 138 as a sophomore – and Laren Eustace. A standout running back and outfielder, respectively, Scaccia and Eustace chose to focus on other sports.
Although the Bulldogs harbor no resentment toward their former teammates, there remains a sense of "We're still here" among the senior stalwarts. For Watson, a program legacy whose older brothers, Danny and Augie, shined under Arlis, the refrain is especially loud.
During the summer, Watson juggled football and club rugby practices with wrestling workouts, happily personifying the old adage about "A body in motion ..." that so far is absent from the wrestling room wall.
"You've got to keep going over and over again," Watson said. "I didn't really have that many breaks this summer. I just kept going."
Batavia has battled lower turnouts in recent seasons, but a freshman class of 21 – composed of both first-time wrestlers and members of the Pinners youth program – has boosted the overall turnout to 40.
Bayer operates a new Batavia Park District wrestling program twice a week after high school practice, and is eager to teach the sport to an up-and-coming group.
If the kids play their takedowns right – and Bayer keeps on his active promotional path – the plan is to fill the wrestling room wall with names.
For now, it's the high school Bulldogs' time to enjoy the scenery.
"These guys have got to feel close together. They've got to feel like they're pulling through all this together," Bayer said. "Because if they don't, it becomes drudgery, you know, and you can't go down that direction."

Ten dogs at the Barrow County Animal Shelter were destroyed last week to prevent the spread of an illness believed to be the highly contagious parvovirus. The outbreak was discovered on Jan. 22 after a visitor alerted the staff to a Shepherd mix dog lying on its side with bloody stool nearby. That dog was euthanized that day.
The other dogs housed in the same area initially appeared to be unaffected by the illness, but after two exhibited similar symptoms the following day, all nine were destroyed. Since then, the room with the sick animals reportedly has been closed to the public. However, that is not the end of the story, due to the shelter director's mishandling of information about the incident. She told the newspaper this week that the nine other dogs were not put down because of the illness but because their time was up and it was the shelter's "regular euthanasia day." But that is not true, according to county manager Jock Connell and human resources director Charlie Felts, who both looked into the matter.
See Wednesday's print edition of the Barrow Journal for the complete story.
10 dogs dead, shelter director's explanation disputed

An Accredited School System
Accreditation is a voluntary method of quality assurance developed more than 100 years ago by American universities and secondary schools and designed primarily to distinguish schools adhering to a set of educational standards. Today the accreditation process is used at all levels of education and is recognized for its ability to effectively drive student performance and continuous improvement in education. Reviews take place every five years.Baldwin County Public School System participated in an External Review by a team of highly qualified evaluators March 23-26, 2014. The External Review is the hallmark of AdvancED Performance Accreditation as it energizes and equips the leadership and stakeholders of an institution to achieve higher levels of performance and address those areas that may be hindering efforts to reach desired performance levels. External Review is a rigorous process that includes examination of evidence and relevant data, interviews with stakeholders, and observations of instruction, learning, and operations.Following the External Review, the team submitted their final report to AdvancEd Accreditation Commission, granting Baldwin County Public School System accreditation status. By achieving this designation, our school system was the first among Alabama School systems to achieve the system-wide distinction. In the past, each school was accredited separately.Click here for the complete AdvancED report of the External Review for Baldwin County Board of Education.
Our Community
Baldwin County is located in the southwest corner of the state, bordered by the Gulf of Mexico, Mobile Bay, Florida, and adjoining counties in Alabama. It is one of the largest counties in land area east of the Mississippi River, home to more than 200,000 residents, and is the fastest growing county in Alabama and one of the fastest growing counties in the nation.
Baldwin County is the location of the first public school in Alabama, built in 1799 by the community of Tensaw, and today's schools remain community centers. The schools in the county are located in seven areas identified as "feeder patterns", the educational path a student takes from kindergarten through 12th grade.

The Fort Lewis College mens basketball team dropped an 83-63 exhibition decision to Westminster College in Salt Lake City on Friday night.
The Skyhawks, who lost to Division I Wyoming 82-61 earlier this week in another exhibition game, trailed 42-33 at halftime.
Marcus Ayala and Nick Tomsick led the Skyhawks with 12 points each. Wes McKenzie added eight points for the Skyhawks.
Former Ignacio High School star Alex Herrera, a sophomore, scored six points for the Skyhawks and led the team with six rebounds.
Colton Moon, with a perfect 10-for-10 from the field, led Westminster with a game-high 18 points. He was 4 of 4 from behind the 3-point line against FLC.
Jake Orchard added 13 points. Tallon Robertson scored 11 for Westminster, an NAIA school.
The Griffins shot 56 percent from the field.
FLC managed 38 percent shooting. The Skyhawks hit only 3 of 21 from behind the 3-point line. The Griffins converted 8 of 17 shots from long range.
For the second consecutive scrimmage, FLC head coach Bob Hofman used all 13 players on the Skyhawks roster.
The Skyhawks will play their third of four exhibition games this preseason against the University of Montana Western from Dillon, Mont., at 5 p.m. today in Salt Lake City.

Blackout Blinds & Shades for Room Darkening
- Best choice for complete darkness
- Blocks 99% of incoming light
- Great for bedrooms and home theaters
- Tight-fitting inside mounts block the most light
- Many styles to darken your space
- Watch our video on blackout shades
Blackout shades and blinds block nearly all incoming light with cellular shade, roman shade, roller shade, woven wood, pleated shade, panel track and skylight choices. Although sometimes called Blackout Blinds, a light blocking blackout effect is best achieved with shades, as they block the most light with a tight-fitting inside-mounted opaque shade. Blackout Shades eliminate maximum light seepage with specially woven material or with the addition of a liner to create a darker space than the subtler Room Darkening Shades. Custom blackout blinds provide the darkest blackout experience available.

I ordered these in the Epic Crest pattern that was shown in the example. The light filtering through gives the room a nice golden glow.View this product
"color beautiful"
By painter from NJ
Well constructed. Looks great. The installation hardware and method is not great. Very exacting, not easy to measure and requires holes through the fabric. Once brackets in place, very easy to install and remove for cleaning.View this product

Keep the following in mind when creating custom schema files, especially when you are using replication:
When adding new schema elements, all attributes must be defined before they can be used in an object class. You can define attributes and object classes in the same schema file.
Each custom attribute or object class that you create should be defined in only one schema file. This practice prevents the server from overriding any previous definitions when the server loads the most recently created schema. Directory Server loads the schema files in numerical order first, then in alphabetical order.
When defining new schema definitions manually, best practice is generally to add these definitions to the 99user.ldif file.
When you update schema elements using LDAP, the new elements are written automatically to the 99user.ldif file. As a result, any other schema definition changes that you made in custom schema files might be overwritten. Using only the 99user.ldif file prevents possible duplications of schema elements and the danger of schema changes being overwritten.
As Directory Server loads schema files in alphanumeric order with numbers loaded first, you should name custom schema files as follows:
[00-99] filename.ldif
The number is higher than any directory standard schema already defined.
If you name your schema file with a number that is lower than the standard schema files, the server might encounter errors when loading the schema. In addition, all standard attributes and object classes are loaded only after your custom schema elements have been loaded.
Make sure that custom schema file names are not numerically or alphabetically higher than 99user.ldif because Directory Server uses the highest sequenced file for its internal schema management.
For example, if you created a schema file and named it 99zzz.ldif, the next time you update the schema, all of the attributes with an X-ORIGIN value of 'user defined' would be written to 99zzz.ldif. The result would be two LDIF files that contain duplicate information, and some information in the 99zzz.ldif file might be erased.
As a general rule, identify the custom schema elements that you are adding with the following two items:
'user defined' in the X-ORIGIN field of custom schema files,
A more descriptive label such as 'Example.com Corporation defined' in the X-ORIGIN field, so that the custom schema element is easy for other administrators to understand. For example X-ORIGIN ('user defined' 'Example.com Corporation defined').
If you are adding schema elements manually and do not use 'user defined' in the X-ORIGIN field, the schema elements appear read-only in DSCC.
The 'user defined' value is added automatically by the server if you add custom schema definitions by using LDAP or DSCC. However, if you do not add a more descriptive value in the X-ORIGIN field, you might later have difficulty understanding what the schema relates to.
These changes are not replicated automatically. To replicate, you must propagate custom schema files manually to all your servers.
When you change the directory schema, the server keeps a timestamp of when the schema was changed. At the beginning of each replication session the server compares its timestamp with its consumer's timestamp and, if necessary, pushes any schema changes. For custom schema files, the server maintains only one timestamp, which is associated with the 99user.ldif file. This means that any custom schema file changes or additions that you make to files other than 99user.ldif will not be replicated. Therefore, you must propagate custom schema files to all other servers to ensure that all schema information is present throughout the topology.

Hamburger is a $100 billion market just waiting for technology to disrupt it.
So says top venture capitalist Vinod Khosla, who is funding a stealth startup working on just that.
He's investing in a company that turns protein, fat, and fiber from plant sources into a juicy, beefy-tasting patty.
"There are no cows involved, but you can't taste the difference," he promised during a talk at the TechCrunch Disrupt conference in San Francisco today.
"When you put in on the grill it browns like a burger," said Khosla. "I've tried it. It's not quite there yet, but this is R&D, high-risk stuff."
Khosla promised that the product tastes "a lot better than any soy burger."
He's also working on fake cheese, which is further along: "I had a couple of people taste the cheese. They couldn't taste the difference."
It takes 33 pounds of corn, plus water, to produce about two pounds of beef, he says. So ultimately, if tech could solve this, it would go a long way to feed the masses more affordably.
Khosla also mentioned investing in a startup which is working on less-salty salt.
As well, he's backed Unreal, a candymaker which promises healthier sweets.
"Innovation driven by tech is altering every area," said Khosla. "Who would have thought [we could disrupt] beef?"

JACKSON, Tenn. - The Lipscomb Bisons golf team finished the Grover Page Classic in fourth place.
Tennessee-Martin, the host team, climbed from third to first in the final 18 holes Tuesday, shooting a team score of 296 and an 890 for the 54-hole tournament at the Jackson Country Club.
Union University finished second with a total score of 893 followed by Murray State in third at 898 and Lipscomb one shot back with a team score of 899.
Will Brewer, Lipscomb director of golf, saw the Bisons chances of winning the tournament fade on the final four holes.
"We lost by nine shots and we probably threw away eight-to-10 shots on those last four holes," Brewer said. "We made poor choices and did not execute well.
"We didn't have a live score board, so we don't know for sure, but we were within reach of winning the tournament with five holes to go. On the last three holes we had two double bogies and a birdie on one hole, two bogies on another hole and three bogies on the final hole."
Blanton Farmer was the top finisher for the Purple and Gold. He tied for fourth with a score of 219 (68, 74, 77). Farmer was named to the All-Tournament team for his efforts.
"Blanton played extremely well the first day," Brewer said. "But he did not finish well and it left a bad taste in his mouth.
"I hope that motivates him to know that he can be in the hunt in just about any tournament he is in. He is playing that well. But he has to let the game come to him and not try to force it. He can be one, two or three in any tournament if he does that for three rounds."
Also in the top 10 for LU was Ryan Terry. He finished tied for sixth with a 221 (71, 74, 76).
Paul Kleine-Kracht made the jump to a tie for 17th place with a score of 227 (74, 77, 76).
"Paul has made a really good transformation from where he was a couple of weeks ago," Brewer said.
Rounding out the scoring for the Bisons were Dustin Wilder in a tie for 36th with a 234 (79, 75, 80) and Nathan Mueting in a tie for 50th with a score of 240 (79, 83, 78).
The Bisons finished the first round in first place Monday. Brewer admits he is disappointed his LU team could not finish the match with a team win.
"I don't want to create a negative," Brewer said. "But they are just not following through with the mental training we have been going through. They are getting it about 67 percent of the time.
"I'm very young with this team, but what I see is that they haven't had much success in their two, three or four years here in terms of finishing. They are not accustomed to knowing how to win."
Other schools in the field were Morehead State, Tennessee Tech, Southern Illinois, Tennessee State, John A. Logan Community College, Trevecca Nazarene, Jackson State and Bethel College.
"This was a good tournament except for about six holes," Brewer said. "We are still learning. We still have some things we need to tighten up on.
"Part of it is our process. There is a process of getting into the shot and getting into the specifics of the job at hand that they have not totally absorbed and bought into. We are getting better, but they have to commit to carrying through with every shot for 54 holes."

Motor Vehicle Fatalities
In financial terms, motor vehicle crashes cost society an estimated US$300 billion each year. In terms of human life, the cost is much greater. In order to make roads as safe as possible, government transportation departments and law enforcement agencies must make well-informed decisions about things like engineering adjustments and resource allocation.
This interactive SAS Visual Analytics report shows how state departments of transportation (DOTs) and police can uncover crash causes and identify possible trouble spots quickly so potentially life-saving changes can be made to correct problems.

Skip to comments.China: Al-Qaeda urges holy war to defend Muslims
Posted on 10/09/2009 12:16:44 AM PDT by MonicaG
Rome, 7 October (AKI) - A leading Al-Qaeda militant on Wednesday called on Muslims worldwide to defend Uighurs in China's restive northwestern region of Xinjiang. He told Uighurs to prepare for a holy war or Jihad and urged a "vast media campaign" to raise awareness of their fate at the hands of "oppressive" China.
(Excerpt) Read more at adnkronos.com ...
Al-Libi claims terrible crimes are being perpetrated in Xinjiang "which nobody can see," urging a media campaign to give these crimes the same visibility as those "carried out by westerners against Muslims."
He also accused China of using "satanic ways" to oppress Muslims in the province and replace them with other ethnicities while "looting their wealth and undermining their culture and religion."
Doh! I see now this was already posted. Sorry Admin Mod...
"looting their wealth and undermining their culture and religion."
Johny Jihad wakes up to the evils of socialism...I though he was talking about democrats for a second there...
I wish someone would call on Leftists worldwide to take a bath.
this has got Brezhinski's prints all over it
This is perfect. Now we need the US, Europe, India, China and Russia together to combat these alqs
That's gross, lol!
I don't know about you, but this story sure presents me with a case of mixed emotions.
Seriously, I've wondered why China has never had a meaningful muzzie terrorism event. Can it really be that hard to get in and move around?
I am reminded of Hitlers 'Operation Barbarossa'...Can you say "Implosion"? >Bo)
China, how is that support of Iran working out for ya?
The Chinese have sat with their popcorn and all watching the show with glee in Afghanistan. The Taliban and the LeT's ability to fight this long is largely thanks to Chinese small arms.
I'd be happy if the alq's whooped Chinese ass thoroughly. It will be a nice comeuppance.
But they said it was all about Israeil
Wrong-they have problems with all non-muslims.
China will have to make a choice
alq won't be able to do that. The only reason they've done it against the US, India etc. is because these countries are too nice. The Chicoms will crush them and obliterate them.
China has had some muzzy incidence but China imposes a permanent solution.

This Week in Genea-Blogging
A book and some security, all in one
At Family Matters, Kathleen Reed reports on her experience with Blog2Print, not only as a way to make a book from a blog but also a way to back up a blog in "Protecting Your Blog."
Catch this one:
At Chris Paton's Scottish Genes: "Flying to Ireland for research? Sage advice!" Don't read it while you are drinking anything.
Organization in action....
In "Sorting Saturday - Document and Record log," Heather Kuhn Roelker at Leaves for Trees provides a great sample of the spreadsheet she uses to track source documents (click on the image to enlarge it).
What's good and what's not so good
After recently winning a 3-month "Pro" subscription to Geni.com on GeneaBloggers Blog Talk Radio, Taneya Koonce at Taneya's Genealogy Blog gives an excellent overview of the site's pluses and minuses and how it compares to other sites in "My Foray into Geni.com."
He gives "wordsmithing" a new dimension
Over at Staats Place, Chris Staats' response to Randy Seaver's (Genea-Musings) latest Saturday Night Genealogy Fun challenge left me in stitches: "SNGF: Common Genealogy Terms Defined." I think these are going to enter the Genea-Dictionary.
Is this the future? Oddly enough, I hope not...
There is an interesting Weekend Discussion at Susan Petersen's Long Lost Relatives.net: "Open Discussion Weekend - will brick walls become a thing of the past?" Check out the article and the comments. What do you think?
- or stuff that oughta be obvious but apparently ain't - is discussed by Kerry Scott at Clue Wagon in "Free Stuff on the Internet."
Another reason to be paranoid
At Marion's Roots & Rambles, Marion Pierre-Louis advises us to "Print Genealogy Information from Websites - the First Time You See It."
If you are a noob...
at attending national genealogy conferences and are planning on attending NGS in Charleston, SC this year, you might want to check out the "Tips for First Time Conference Attendees" on the NGS Family History Conference blog. As a matter of fact, even if you are a seasoned conference attendee, you might want to check out the suggestions just the same.
How to do it
Lorine McGinnis Shulze at Olive Tree Genealogy Blog provides an excellent detailed example of the research process in "A Step by Step Analysis of a Genealogy Search": what is found, what is not, and what questions and inconsistencies still exist.
Some backup basics
Are covered at JLog in "A Simple Backup Plan." Good information on different backup devices and backup services with some useful "how-to" information.

My Week
I'm going to try to post a weekly research report on Wednesdays and started this week. We'll see.
Well, that's another couple of widgets I can remove from my blog.
MyBlogLog is closing down. Sheesh. And I'm not trusting Yahoo to stick with anything, either.
I know where I'll be this weekend
The Fairfax Genealogical Society's Spring Conference will be held this weekend - Friday from 4:00 to 8:30 p.m. and Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. - at the Marriott Fairfax Hotel at Fair Oaks Mall. I'll be there!

Is Social Media Crippling Your Job Search Efforts?
By Jacqui Barrett-Poindexter, Glassdoor.com
...As a guest speaker on TalentCulture's inaugural Twitter Chat radio show Tuesday evening, I partnered with Matt Charney, Social Media Engagement Manager of Monster Worldwide to discuss the topic of job search myths. Misconceptions thrashed out included (but weren't limited to):
•Currently employed candidates being preferable;
•Gaps in employment making a candidate undesirable; and,
•Over-50 job seekers being over the hill.
Unfortunately, each of these myths could be construed both as a truth and a myth, depending upon how you viewed it.
Myths Are Actually Obstacles That Job Seekers Can Push Through
In my opinion, many of these myths (i.e., obstacles) job seekers face could be eradicated through a series of job search strategy makeovers. Instead, it seems, we often focus on the fault of the economy, the companies doing the hiring, recruiters, human resources and hiring decision makers for the decline in interviews , often pointing to discriminatory factors, such as being too old or being unemployed.
Though such factors clearly exist, I firmly believe that if job seekers took a closer look at what they may do differently to ignite their job search, they would find a wealth of opportunity to turn their situation around, despite the heaving economy, governmental woes and unfortunate situations occurring in recruiting, human resources or (insert the recipient of your disdain here).
In a defining moment during the radio program, Charney said something radical. He expressed that too many job seekers focus their time, effort and energy on social media (Tweeting, Facebook posting, etc.) and not enough time on the traditional aspects of search. This includes preparing a great resume and cover letter . I'm paraphrasing here, but that's what I recall hearing.
Of course, as a Master Resume Writer, my ears perked, and I exclaimed, "Hear hear!" I passionately believe (and have witnessed in action) that the traditional, foundational resume can be a golden key to fortifying your job search. So very many job seekers get lost in the maze of social media magic that they feel if they 'authentically express themselves' in this venue they will get to grab the golden ring of interviewing.
Opportunities to Propel Your Job Search Forward
By doing so, they miss two important and potentially critical steps in job search and, I daresay, as a result, cripple their career search efforts.
1. Doing what's required of them by 99% of all companies, recruiters, hiring decision makers, board members, executives – anyone who may have a hand in interviewing and hiring you, which is: Write a meaningful, well-articulated and compelling resume that not only asserts your 'greatest achievements' and wonderfulness, but filters your accomplishments stories through their (your target audience's) needs and speaks to the heart of their pain. In other words, you persuasively showcase how you will bring in more clients, expand the company's marketplace, trim costs, increase revenues and boost profits. NOT spending the time and effort on a triple-threat resume (and cover letter) will, in most cases, sink your resume to the bottom of the stack.
2. Undergoing the process of listening to your future employer's needs, and then going inward to introspect: Drill deep into your career underbelly to dig up and bring to light those prized stories that have given your career traction and momentum to-date. These are the stories that add meat—an overall richness—to your resume that a reader can sink his teeth into versus having to stumble through your various and loosely connected social media musings and profiles. You MUST succinctly, and within one, targeted resume document, connect the dots for the reader — WHY they should call you in for an interview. It's as simple as that!
Fan Your Traditional Resume Into the Social Networking Spokes
Don't get me wrong, I am an AVID social media / social networking user, especially as it pertains to Twitter, where I am considered a power user, but also on LinkedIn, Facebook and now, Google+. Across these platforms, if you are handling yourself diplomatically and punctuating your communications with a bit of flair and focus, you can definitely magnetize others to you and accentuate your career goals.
In other words, these platforms are notorious for building new connections, creating and expanding your visibility through multiple channels and providing a global audience to which to toot your horn while also being a go-giver to others. A multiplicity of social media experts and coaches are available to help you strategize your social media presence, as an adjunct to your resume portfolio. I even do my part by providing social media coaching and writing social media profiles for my clients to ensure they are well represented, thereto.
My point today, though, is this: Start with a phenomenal resume and cover letter, and from there, fan out your message to the many spokes of the social media wheel. In fact, include your key social media profile links on your resume. Just don't spend all of your time and energy tootling around the virtual highway. You may realize that, after months of travel, you run out of fuel and go sputtering into a dead end, a career to nowhere.

Whether you've got four days, one day, half a day or a couple of hours, there's plenty of great ride options here.
How hard are the rides?
While it's not exactly flat, the trail is relatively easy and suitable for most ages and abilities. If the going gets tough, many riders opt to walk their bike up the steeper hills which aren't too long. (locals tip:- Queenstown is at the lowest point of the Wakatipu Basin, so rides commencing from Queenstown will be a climb)
Can I walk the trail?
Of course – the trails are mostly 2+ metres wide and have been designed for walkers AND cyclists to share. Make a day of it and pack a picnic or stop off at one of the many cafes and restaurants along the way.
Can I hire bikes and gear?
Queenstown and Arrowtown are geared up for cyclists and can hire everything you need in including cycles, helmets, child seats and! Check out these cycle hire options.
Where can I get a map?
You can download and print a map from our website http://www.queenstowntrail.org.nzto take with you on the trail . There's plenty of signage on the trail so you won't get lost - plus there are usually other riders and walkers enjoying the Trails - the locals are friendly, just ask them!

Whether you're a regular mountain biker, a family with young children or a feisty nana, there's a part of the trail that's for you.

Is there transport to get us (and our bikes) back to our vehicles?
Absolutely! Bike operators, accommodation providers and tour operators' offer pick up and deliver services. Local transport operators can help you out.
Any tips on when to ride the trails?
Queenstown is beautiful all year round – Spring and Autumn are particularly picturesque and provide great biking temperatures and there's plenty of daylight hours.
Summer is stunning of course but choose your riding day carefully in Winter!
Summer (Dec-Mar) mid-teens to late-20º C
Autumn (Apr-May) 8º to 16º C
Winter (Jun-Aug) -2º to 10º C
Spring (Sept-Nov) 8º to 17º
Remember though, Queenstown is an alpine environment and can turn cold very quickly. Be sure to pack extra layers, just in case (and suntan lotion in summer)!
What kind of bike is best?
The trails are finished in smooth gravel and well-maintained. For safety and comfort, we recommend mountain bikes with big tyres. You can hire bikes and all the gear you need from businesses in Queenstown, Arrowtown and Gibbston. All tour operators also provide cycles.
Can I get lost on the trails?
Along the trails you're never more than a couple of kilometres from a main road or settlement, so it's difficult to get lost for any length of time. The rides are all very clearly signposted with detailed maps, distances and destinations easy to find. Your biggest decision will be where to next.
Is there mobile phone coverage along the trails?
On most parts of the trail you'll have coverage for major mobile networks. In a medical or other emergency dial 111 for Police, Fire and Ambulance, this will connect you directly with the emergency operator. There's no need to add an area or country code

Long-term plans to ready San Diego County's Coaster, trolley and freight rail lines for California's future bullet-train network will be on display Tuesday during an open house.
The blueprints are part of the draft California State Rail Plan, which sets the Golden State's vision and priorities for rail during the next 10 years.
Rail officials said this is California's first plan to blend the future high-speed train network with existing rail lines, albeit in a general way.
The public is invited to comment on the 342-page document, and a final version is expected this summer.
Bullet trains are not scheduled to zip into San Diego County for decades; the Central Valley, Los Angeles and the San Francisco Bay Area will come beforehand in the much-debated, $68 billion project.
In 2008, California voters approved a $9.95 billion measure to partially fund a high-speed rail network, which at the time was projected to cost $40 billion and would connect the state's major cities from Sacramento to San Diego with trains speeding at 220 mph. The approval devoted nearly $1 billion to upgrading existing rail.
Cost overruns and questions about the overall business plan have dogged the project from its start.
But even with many people doubting that San Diego County will ever see a bullet train, the region is a big part of the rail plan, said Bill Bronte, rail division chief for the California Department of Transportation.
In an interview last week, Bronte said the rail plan calls for preparing San Diego's existing Amtrak, Coaster, trolley and other transit lines "to take people (from) high-speed rail and distribute them."
One goal is to make service along the county's coastal railway faster, safer and more efficient so local riders can better connect with high-speed rail once it opens in Los Angeles, Bronte said. State officials want to start construction on the Central Valley portion of the network this summer and launch service from San Francisco to Los Angeles by 2030.
Today, more than 50 Coaster, Amtrak and freight trains run along the coast from downtown San Diego to the Orange County border. Much of that line has a single rail track.
San Diego's regional transportation agency, with the help of state and federal funding, intends to spend nearly $820 million to improve the coastal railway, with the main goal of building a second track.
People seeking specifics about where stations might be built or exactly how someone would transfer between conventional and bullet trains will be disappointed with the rail blueprint because it's a "high-level" planning document, Bronte said.
The lack of detail irks Michael Setty of the Train Riders' Association of California, an advocacy group.
"We think a lot of (the plan) is kind of vague about what they're going to do. There's not a lot of meat," Setty said.
For example, he'd like to see a "Plan B" for what would happen if the high-speed rail network never materializes.
Local transportation leaders have also questioned the bullet-train vision, but they haven't blocked any high-speed rail funding for local projects.
More than $100 million in high-speed rail funds is lined up for the San Diego region.
The North County Transit District, which owns the coastal railroad, is in line for $41.8 million in high-speed rail money to help pay for an $87 million rail-safety project, said Deborah Castillo, spokeswoman for the Oceanside-based agency. The state plan shows that NCTD could receive an additional $7 million in high-speed rail money.
The state plan also indicates that the San Diego Metropolitan Transit System could receive $58 million for upgrades to the trolley blue line.
When: 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. Tuesday
Where: Caltrans office at 4050 Taylor St., San Diego

A planner's vision of a reorganized United States might make political sense, but how could we live without such lovely names as Carolina, Colorado and Louisiana?
A map dreamed up by urban planner Neil Freeman keeps resurfacing in the news since he first proposed it last year.
It's meant to smooth out our wacky presidential election process by creating 50 states of equal population. That part doesn't interest me as much as the fact that Freeman's reorganized nation has new state names. Now that has big implications for sports, pop culture and many other things.
Under Freeman's plan, we would live in the state of Scioto, which takes in central and southwestern Ohio, plus, parts of Kentucky. Instead of being central Ohioans, we'd be northeastern Sciotoans.
That would take some getting used to. For one thing, we'd no longer have the OH-IO cheer. And the big game every November would be Scioto State vs. Detroit. On the other hand, people on the coasts would stop confusing us with Iowa, a large part of which becomes a place called Nodaway (after a river of the same name.)
And what happens to the play Oklahoma when a large portion of that state finds itself in a place called Muskogee? True, both are song names, but Muskogee doesn't trip off the tongue in the same Broadway-show-tune way.
To be sure, Freeman's map offers some cool names: Atchafalaya for the New Orleans area, Shenandoah for some of Virginia, and Ogallala for a vast region that takes in the Dakotas and some of Colorado. Those new names repeat the pattern that makes current state names so melodious: four syllables names ending in vowels with the accent on the third syllable.
That pattern is why it's so much fun to say Alabama, Pennsylvania, Carolina and Colorado. Would Pennsylvania Polka sounds as good if it were Allegheny Polka? (Actually, that pretty much still follows the pattern, but the alliteration is gone). Would nothing still be finer than to be in Carolina when those states are divided into regions called Tidewater, Columbia and Blue Ridge?
On the other hand, I love the sound of Big Thicket, Freeman's name for a part of Texas, and Mammoth, which takes in parts of Kentucky and Tennessee.
The map reminds me of how prominent state names are in the American lexicon. We eat Texas toast and wish they all could be California girls. We sit mosquito-free in Florida rooms and steer around New Jersey barrier in freeway construction zones.
Would we ever really give up those names in the interests of a smoother electoral system. I'd have to say not in a New York minute.

The throwback 1970s mix, which is rogue hero Peter Quill's own soundtrack throughout the film, features tracks such as Blue Swede's "Hooked on a Feeling" and Jackson 5's "I Want You Back."
Last week's chart-topper, Australian boy band 5 Seconds of Summer's debut self-titled record, dropped to No. 4 this week while 15-year-old Canadian social media star Shawn Mendes entered the chart at No. 5 with his self-titled extended play.

Sarah Jessica Parker Taking Her Children to School in NYC
SJP Takes Her Kids For a Stroll Amid Big Broadway News
SJP Takes Her Kids For a Stroll Amid Big Broadway News
Sarah Jessica Parker took her son, James Wilkie, and twin daughters, Tabitha and Loretta, on a walk to their respective schools in NYC yesterday. The family stayed bundled up in warm coats and hats for the outing, with SJP clad in a faux-fur jacket by Sanctuary. The busy mom also carried along a copy of Wolf Hall, the historical novel by British author Hilary Mantel, in her purse. Mantel recently made news with her harsh critiques of Kate Middleton, calling the duchess "bland" and "machine-made."
SJP is maintaining her daytime routine amid news that she will be returning to the stage later this year. Sarah Jessica will reportedly join Blythe Danner to star in The Commons of Pensacola, an off-Broadway production written by Amanda Peet. Blythe currently plays the mother of Sarah Jessica's husband, Matthew Broderick, in the musical Nice Work If You Can Get It.
