UNIVERSITY PARK – The Penn State Board of Trustees approved the naming of a recently renovated facility at Penn State DuBois as the Alan R. Fairman House, in honor of a gift from the Fairman Family Foundation, which largely funded the restoration of the building.
Previously referred to as the Honors and Alumni Center, the former residential home provides space on the first floor for campus honors programs, and is open to honors students who may use the space to study, work jointly on projects, host seminars or guest speakers, or take a much needed break in between classes. The second floor houses the campus' alumni and development offices, as well as marketing and public information offices.
The Alan R. Fairman House was originally a home to family members of John DuBois, for which the town of DuBois was named. The property neighbors the grounds of the lumber tycoon's former estate, which Penn State DuBois campus now occupies. The Alan R. Fairman House was not originally granted to Penn State with the rest of the DuBois family property and had remained a residential family home until the campus purchased it in 2008.
A renovation, completed in the fall of 2012, brought the facility up to date, while retaining the charm of a stately, late 19th-century family home. Original, authentic woodwork is intertwined with state-of-the-art study and meeting spaces, complete with wi-fi and teleconferencing capabilities. Purchase and renovation of the house was made possible by the generous contributions of private donors, such as those at the Fairman Family Foundation.
"Restoring the Fairman House was a perfect opportunity for us to show our support," said Foundation representative Joyce Fairman. "We want to see the DuBois campus thrive and continue to provide excellent educational opportunities close to home for local young people and members of our community. The campus also plays a very important role in the local economy by partnering with businesses and providing training programs. It's especially rewarding to see the honors program occupying an area of the Fairman House. An investment in education can only reap rewards."
Fairman also noted that the mission of the campus is something that her late husband, the building's namesake, would wholeheartedly support.
"Alan Fairman believed in giving people a chance, whether in business or through the many sports teams he was involved in. He had a special place in his heart for teaching kids through coaching. A Penn State education gives people a chance for a better life and the opportunity to make the world a better place," she said.
Penn State Chancellor Melanie Hatch said the campus community is proud to have such a beautiful facility named in honor of a person, and a family, that has had such a large and lasting impact on the region.
"This house is a place for students to study, to learn, and to prepare themselves to be the leaders of tomorrow. It also provides office space for valuable campus functions that support our students' education," Hatch said. "The Fairman Family recognizes the importance of all of these things, and for that we are truly grateful."
This is not the first gift that Penn State DuBois has received from the Fairman Family Foundation. Last year, the foundation funded the establishment of the Anita D. McDonald Endowment Supporting Children and Youth Programs in honor of the retiring DuBois campus chancellor who served from 2003-2012. This endowment supports Kids in College (KIC), The Art, Science and Technology Institute (AST), athletic camps and other Penn State DuBois programs for children and youth.
Through their generosity, the Fairman Family Foundation is helping to support For the Future: The Campaign for Penn State Students. The campaign's top priority is keeping a Penn State degree affordable for students and families. The For the Future campaign is the most ambitious effort of its kind in Penn State's history, with the goal of securing $2 billion by 2014. Penn State DuBois' individual aim is to raise $12 million by 2014, and the campus is now at 80 percent of that goal.

Communities, towns and cities are quickly learning what residential, commercial and industrial water professionals have known for years—that ultraviolet (UV) disinfection is effective at inactivating waterborne microorganisms. While UV has become a standard product for many residential and commercial well water applications, recent acceptance by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will make it a standard product for many community-based drinking water plants.
Regulatory Acceptance
So why the change? The EPA's Long Term 2 Enhanced Surface Water Rule (LT2ESWTR) allows communities to receive inactivation credit for Cryptosporidium parvum and Giardia lamblia by using UV disinfection. This rule is specifically for surface water or groundwater under the influence of surface water. The main reasons for this newfound acceptance are that UV inactivates many microorganisms that are becoming chlorine resistant and reduces harmful byproducts associated with the chlorination process.
The key to regulatory acceptance is that the UV disinfection system must be properly validated by a recognized testing organization or procedure.
Understanding and selecting a validation process has proved to be a confusing endeavor for both engineers and their clients.
Most water professionals are familiar with the NSF Mark, which has become a standard in water product certification. In the UV world, NSF/ANSI Standard 55 is recognized for point-of-entry systems that generally treat flows under 50 gal per minute (gpm). For the larger community/ municipal applications, the validation process involves a variety of options.
At its most basic level, a validation involves introducing a test microorganism into a UV reactor and taking sample counts before and after the UV. The test, which is referred to as a bioassay and is administered by an independent and recognized third party, indicates the applied dosage and is an indication of whether the UV system will be accepted for a certain set of operating parameters. The target dosage is 40 mJ/cm2 (40,000 uWs/cm2). Currently, these tests are being conducted at onsite locations at test centers in Johnstown, N.Y., Portland Ore., the ONORM facility in Austria, and at the DVGW facility in Germany.
While the U.S. UV drinking water market is in its infancy, UV has been an accepted disinfection practice in Europe for years. As a result, the European community has well-established testing organizations and guidelines.
One of the most recognized, stringent and established testing certification organizations for UV validation is the DVGW, which is the German Technical and Scientific Association for Gas and Water. The DVGW standard is often cited in UV disinfection technical specifications, but because it is not a U.S.-based organization, not much is known about their rigorous protocols.
DVGW, which is similar to testing agencies like Underwriters Laboratories, is one of the world's most recognized standards organizations. A UV system that has been tested to the DVGW W294 Protocol will meet U.S. drinking water requirements.
DVGW W294 Testing Overview
The DVGW facility is capable of treating up to 20 million gal per day (mgd) and is located in Germany (the Johnstown, N.Y., centers can test in excess of 40 mgd). The main goal of its UV validation program is to certify the performance of reactors and the subsequent monitoring of the system. Validation under DVGW ensures that the unit has been certified to deliver a Reduction Equivalent Dose of 40 mJ/cm2 at all times and under all conditions.
Performance testing. The actual test units are piped into the test facility using the worst-case hydraulic scenario, which is represented by placing elbows before and after the UV unit. Once in place, the unit is subjected to various flow rates and different water quality conditions. During the testing, the transmittance of the water (the energy absorbing material in the water) is adjusted to simulate different and worst-case operating scenarios. A non-pathogenic (disease-causing) microorganism (B. subtilis for DVGW and ONORM, MS-2 for other centers) is injected into the flow and multiple samples are taken pre- and post-UV unit. Once in the lab, the applied UV dosage is calculated and a result is furnished.
Monitoring. The protocol requires a minimum number of monitoring ports containing UV irradiance sensors. The quantity is based on the number and power of the UV lamps. The individual sensors, the windows and the reference sensors (radiometers) also have to be standardized to the W294 protocol.
Throughout the life of the validated UV reactor, each sensor will need to be checked to ensure proper operation. This is accomplished by using a reference sensor. By testing the various UV sensors, the regulators can ensure that the system is operating properly.
The release of the EPA's long awaited rule has put a spotlight on the UV disinfection and filtration markets. In order for UV disinfection to get a foothold in the community drinking water market, regulators, engineers and owners will need to understand more about UV and its validation protocols.
The good news is that the validation centers have been preparing themselves for this rule, and they are ready to validate.

Provo, Utah — About 70 people attended the regular Friday night service at the Rock Church in Provo, Utah, and among the handful of new visitors, two people prayed to receive Jesus Christ as Savior after listening to Billy Graham's message titled "The Cross." At the same time, spiritual seeds were planted in the hearts of others, including among some people who are from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. One young adult with a Mormon background, who just turned 20, came to the service after being invited by a Christian friend and told her afterward that for the first time in his life he understood the meaning of Christ's death on the cross, that He died and shed His blood for his sins. "God is clearly at work in a lot of hearts, and seeds were planted tonight," said Pastor Steve McInroy. "That encourages me."
Rochester, N.Y. — Brian and his family showed "The Cross" in their home. The attendance exceeded their expectations, and they had to bring in extra chairs from other rooms in the house. By the end of the night, two new believers were sitting in their house. "Praise God! We are planning on another showing," he said. "Pray for us here in Rochester."
Wheaton Bible Church, Ill. — Some 250 single adults gathered for an evening with non-Christian friends to have dinner and watch "Defining Moments," the first of three My Hope films. Each dinner table had someone to pray with or answer questions.
Missouri — A pastor who held a My Hope event at his church saw 10 people rededicate their lives to Christ and three people make a first-time decision to follow Him. Those three people were the pastor's children.
North Carolina — On Nov. 3, 125 women at a correctional facility watched "Defining Moments." Four gave their lives to Christ, and 22 made rededications.
Pennsylvania — Peggy gave her life to Christ 53 years ago, but after watching "The Cross," she rededicated her life to Him.
Whitney Point, N.Y. — One host had 10 people in his home, and no one left without some sort of response. One began a new life in Christ, and the nine others rededicated their lives to Him.
Alabama — Christie watched "The Cross" on FOX News. She's had a lot of hatred toward her child's father, but said after the program, "I just want my heart to be healed."
Spartanburg, S.C. — Billy Graham's home church held My Hope events throughout the week and saw at least 74 decisions for Christ. Events were held in home groups, in the youth group, in the ladies' craft groups, in nursing home groups, with the homeless outreach and at sport events. Nearly 1,000 people saw a My Hope program.
Hemet, Calif. — Darilyn Dierickx hosted 10 friends and family members Friday night for a meal and viewing of "The Cross." She was especially praying for Mark, who prayed the prayer of salvation with Billy Graham and eagerly took the My Hope discipleship materials. He said he actually received Jesus years earlier but that he has much to learn. He said he is hungry to grow closer to God. Darilyn and pastors at her church stand ready to help walk alongside him in the discipleship process that gained momentum by her faithfulness to serve as a Matthew hostess.
Terre Haute, Ind. — Honnalora Hubbard, a My Hope coordinator, visited her home church with more than 100 people in attendance at a My Hope event. "As Billy Graham led the sinner's prayer, the sanctuary that normally holds 1400 people seemed to change," she said. "It had felt large and we seemed like a small group. … But when the sounds of those voices rose together following Billy Graham as he led them to Christ, the sound filled the sanctuary and turned it into a beautiful and intimate setting. Many came to Christ for the first time." One of those was a lifelong friend. Honnalora said, "I cried as I heard her voice mixed with the sound of all of the others accepting Christ."
North Carolina — James and a friend invited four young men to Dunkin' Donuts to watch "Defining Moments," a My Hope program. James shared his testimony, and two of the men accepted Christ. The men wanted to share the video with their friends.
Georgia — Rachel had chills while watching "The Cross." She has been struggling lately, but said, "with Jesus Christ, my family and I will be OK."
Aspermont, Texas — A pastor at New Macedonia Baptist Church opened his home on Thursday to show "The Cross." He said, "There were so many people, plus kids, in our living room we had to bring in extra chairs for the viewing." Two people prayed a prayer of salvation with Billy Graham at the end. One of them wants his friend to see the film, so the pastor said he will show it again soon.
Greensboro, N.C. — On Halloween, a man played "Defining Moments" from a widescreen TV on his front porch for trick-or-treaters. He handed out cards with the web address to watch "Defining Moments" online. He also held a party to watch "The Cross" at his home.
Akron, Ohio — A pastor showed "Defining Moments" at a rescue mission. Nine people were saved and 11 rededicated their lives to Christ. Many of the people are homeless. The pastor will use BGEA's Living in Christ Bible study to disciple them.
New Mexico — Valencia's family watched "The Cross" together and ended up praying for salvation at the end.
Louisiana — The director of evangelism for a Louisiana denomination has been reaching out to the mayor of a small Cajun town. The mayor allowed him to hold a party for city employees and show "The Cross." Three employees decided to follow Christ. The man hopes to show it again.

Hi, how do I check for a shortage of command line arguments entered, I tried this in main and it works, but is that proper coding technique?
Also, I want to know why it doesn's throw the ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException to indicate too many command line arguments so how do I
define this, I am confused. Also, please see the commented out if-block, I want to make sure that when user enters
pos integers greater than the supported range for an int in Java, that it should give a user friendly error message but that
if-block doesn't run as I tried to compile it, how do I implement this then? (Note: I noticed that the NumberFormatException seems to catch values exceeding the range for pos integers, but I thought NumberFormatException is to check if in a given string there are non numeric characters...
Btw: the program for the sum method I written (not included) is supposed to sum the three command line arguments and return the int. (the sum method is for adding pos ints only I want)
public static void main(String[] args) { if ( args.length < 3 ) return; /**HOW DO I CHECK FOR BOUNDARY VALUES THEN IF THE BELOW IF BLOCK DOESN'T WORK...****/ /if ( Integer.parseInt(args[0]) > Integer.MAX_VALUE | // Integer.parseInt(args[1]) > Integer.MAX_VALUE | // Integer.parseInt(args[2]) > Integer.MAX_VALUE ) // { // System.out.println("Int inputs too large, not supported"); // return; //} try { sum(Integer.parseInt[0]); sum(Integer.parseInt[1]); sum(Integer.parseInt[2]); } catch (java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException exception) { System.out.println("T"); } catch (NumberFormatException nfe)//to deal with non-int input { System.out.println("Inputs cannot be non-integers."); } }
Any help appreciated.

The flight from Taipei to Jakarta was reported to be the next one at 830am. The first flight was CI 5855 departing at 805am, arriving at 1205pm. There was another China Airlines flight scheduled for about 40 minutes later, which I don;t think the teams were on.
From tonight's episode (Phuket) we get a glimpse into the future Looks like one or more teams will be on Kenya Airways KQ 116 going from NBO to AMS leaving at 8:10 am and arriving at 3:55pm on July 3rd (it boards at 6:55 am).It is also a code share with KLM KL 4140 with is consistent with our spoiler passenger who spotted Racers on such a flight on July 3rd.
I can't seem to find SK1550 for Sunday July 3rd. It does show up for Saturday July 2nd though.And the flight through Cairo leaves Nairobi too early for the 5:45 am arrival from Lusaka/Lilongwe.

Out-of-Band Rescue™ Console Server + PDU
Updated 3rd Gen Processor Engine
10/100/1000 Ethernet
The CPM-800-1-CA Console Server + PDU Manager is a comprehensive Out-of-Band Rescue Solution, which includes all the remote network management tools you need in a single package. When routers, switches and other vital network elements at distant equipment sites become unresponsive, the CPM-800-1-CA provides NOC personnel with a quick, secure, reliable means to access console port command functions and 120V AC power reboot capabilities at remote sites in order to quickly restore normal operation without the need for a physical service call or truck roll.
In addition to providing remote access to power control and console port command functions, the CPM-800-1-CA also includes a versatile assortment of user-configurable monitoring and alarm functions. When high rack temperatures, unresponsive devices, power supply irregularities and other signs of potential trouble are detected, the CPM-800-1-CA can provide immediate notification via email, text message or SNMP trap. In order to provide an audit trail for network administrators, all alarm events, (as well as user activity,) can also be logged for later review.
Out-of-Band Console Access
When a vital network element at a remote site malfunctions, ceases to respond and disrupts network communication, the remote console port access provided by the CPM-800-1-CA allows personnel at your centralized NOC to correct the problem without the need to travel to the site in person. In cases like this techs can establish an out-of-band connection to console ports on problematic devices at remote sites in order to reload routing tables, change configuration parameters or initiate diagnostic/troubleshooting routines.
When console ports on devices such as servers, routers and firewalls are connected to the CPM-800-1-CA, remote administrators can individually access each console port by number, name or port group via SSH or Telnet session. The CPM-800-1-CA also simplifies the process of connecting with a specific port by allowing direct connection, using TCP port assignments.
In addition to providing remote, out-of-band access to console ports, the CPM-800-1-CA also allows administrators to create connections between console ports. Full matrix capability allows two ports to be easily connected, even when ports are configured for different communication settings.
Out-of-Band Power Reboot Control
It's no secret that a power reboot is often the most effective way to revive an unresponsive network element. Although a power reboot is a simple proposition when the device in question is located across the room or down the hall, rebooting an unresponsive device can prove to be a much more difficult challenge if the device is located at a remote, inaccessible site. The CPM-800-1-CA streamlines the process of rebooting remote network elements by providing a secure, reliable means to control reboot functions at remote sites via an out-of-band connection.
When a CPM-800-1-CA is installed at a remote site, NOC personnel can communicate with the CPM via network or out-of-band and initiate power reboots or control power switching functions remotely, without leaving the office. When temperatures or current usage at the remote site exceed acceptable levels, the CPM can also be used to switch off power to nonessential devices in order to conserve power, or switch on cooling systems or other equipment to lower rack temperature.
Security and Authentication
The CPM-800-1-CA includes a powerful array of security, authentication and encryption functions to prevent unauthorized access to sensitive power control and console management functions. A multi-level user directory allows administrators to set unique passwords, usernames and access privileges for each user account. An address-specific IP security mask allows administrators to limit IP access to specific, user-defined IP addresses or ban entire IP address ranges from accessing the unit. Support for popular third party authentication protocols, such as LDAP, Kerberos, TACACS+ and RADIUS verify the identity of each potential user. Secure Shell (SSHv2,) SSL/TLS and an embedded FIPS 140-2 cryptographic module help to ensure that data and commands sent to and from the CPM-800-1-CA are safely protected from unauthorized interception.
Supports DUO Technology Radius 2FA
DUO is a cloud based two factor authentication (2FA) service that corroborates the identity of each logon to ensure that users are actually who they claim to be. When a user enters an account name and password to logon to the CPM, DUO then re-authenticates the user's identity via mobile phone or other device. This effectively shifts access protection from a perimeter based approach that relies on the privacy of the user's logon credentials, to an application based security solution that requires additional interaction from the user before access is granted.
SAN Certificate Support
In order to help simplify configuration and setup of SSL communication, CPM Series Products now support Subject Alternative Names (SAN). SAN is an extension to SSL X.509, that allows a selection of additional host names (DNS names, IP Addresses, Email Address and URIs,) to be protected by a single SSL Certificate. Subject Alternative Names allow you to perform virtual hosting of multiple SSL sites on a single IP address and eliminate the hassles involved in configuring multiple IP addresses on your server.
Zero-Touch Provisioning (ZTP)
Zero-Touch Provisioning (ZTP) simplifies day 0 onboarding of CPM units and in many cases, eliminates the need to have an engineer present during initial set up. If configuration information is not detected during boot up, Zero-Touch Provisioning will be activated and the device will contact a DHCP server and then download a configuration script and perform a firmware update without user intervention. This drastically reduces service interruptions due to human error and cuts the time required to set up newly installed CPM Series products.
Cell Wake-Up on Failure
When the CPM includes the W4G Cellular Modem Option, the Wake-Up on Failure feature can be used to put the cellular modem into a non-connected sleep state, with the wired Ethernet ports acting as the CPM's primary network interface. When the Wake-Up on Failure Feature is enabled, the cellular modem will only wake up when the CPM determines that your primary in-band network access has failed.
Gigabit Ethernet Port
In order to provide compatibility with GigE Networks, the CPM-800-1-A includes a 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet port. The Gigabit Ethernet port can be connected directly to your network, or connected to a satellite modem or cellular router to provide additional means for out-of-band communication with the CPM. This feature can prove particularly useful for providing OOB communication with the CPM in situations where equipment is located at remote, inaccessible locations, beyond the reach of a network cable.
Current Monitoring, Alarms and Logging
In addition to providing out-of-band access to console port functions and power reboot capabilities on remote network elements, the CPM-800-1-CA also includes the ability to monitor current consumption at each switched outlet. Current consumption data can either be logged for future review or downloaded as it is generated to provide remote administrators with a clear picture of current needs at far away equipment sites. If desired, the CPM-800-1-CA's current alarm function can provide instant notification via SNMP trap, email or text message when consumption levels exceed user-defined trigger levels. In addition, the current consumption alarm can also be configured to automatically switch off nonessential devices when current consumption rises over acceptable levels, and then automatically switch those devices back on when consumption returns to normal levels.
Capture Buffer
In addition to providing a means for remote console port access, the CPM-800-1-CA can also be used to collect data from attached devices. When CPM serial ports are set for Buffer Mode, this allows the collection of incoming data, such as error messages and status alerts from attached devices. Once stored in CPM memory, this data can be viewed, saved, erased or sent out to another location via SYSLOG. If desired, an SNMP message can be automatically generated to alert administrators that new console messages have been received.

Prompt, reliable access to OOB management capabilities is a vital component in any mission critical network application. In order to ensure that access to remote console ports and power reboot capabilities is always available when needed, the CPM-800-ECAN includes dual power inlets and a built in power transfer switch. This allows the CPM to be connected to both your primary power supply and a secondary power source, such as a UPS, generator or battery back-up. In the event that the primary power source fails, the built in power transfer switch allows the CPM-800-1-CA to instantly, automatically begin drawing power from the secondary power source. Later, if the primary power source is restored, the CPM-800-1-CA's built in ATS will automatically begin drawing power from the primary source again. As an added benefit, the CPM-800-1-CA also serves to provide power fallback capabilities to older, single power inlet network devices that would otherwise need to be replaced in order to ensure power redundancy in mission critical applications.
Includes Enterprise Management Software
All WTI console server and power control products include our proprietary WMU Enterprise Management Software. The WMU simplifies the task of managing multiple WTI units spread throughout your network infrastructure by providing a centralized control interface. Rather than addressing each WTI device individually, the WMU provides a means to control power switching and port connections on multiple WTI units.
The WMU also simplifies the process of finding a specific WTI device within your network by allowing descriptive tags, which denote device location or function, to be assigned to each unit. When WTI firmware updates are available, the WMU also allows administrators to update multiple WTI units with a single command, rather than manually updating each individual device.

The PALAU AGGRESSOR II® and Rock Islands Aggressor are sisterships and have been an Aggressor Liveaboard® vacation destination for over 25 years. Palau's mushroom-shaped rock islands offer a variety of exciting dives: WWII wrecks, shark-infested channels, blue holes, even a few caves. There are also sheer walls covered in lush soft corals and huge anemones.
Palau is a year round destination with something for every season. While German Channel has many resident Manta Rays, during the mating season, December through March, guests may see as many as 20 – 30 rays! February and March offer large schools of Moorish Idols, Unicorn Fish and several species of Butterfly Fish. All year round, the Palau Aggressor II® crew encounters massive bait balls of scad in and around Ulong and German Channel and on the reefs of Blue Corner and Siaes Corner.
The Palau Aggressor II and Rock Islands Aggressor have now resumed taking guests to Jellyfish Lake.
All dives are made from the 18-passenger dive skiff, which is lowered into the water by a hydraulic cradle. Seven-day charters are Sunday to Sunday with five days and one-half days of diving. Diving begins Monday morning and ends Saturday before lunch when the Aggressor returns to port. Monday through Friday there are four dives offered each day and a night dive on three evenings. Saturday a half-day of diving is offered. Beginner divers may find Palau's strong currents challenging.
Getting There, Passports & Visa Documentation:
Palau is located 900 miles southwest of Guam and 400 miles south of Yap, at the westernmost edge of Micronesia. Palau is north of New Guinea and east of the Philippines. It is surrounded by warm, tropical water with spectacular reefs, walls and wrecks, making Palau a diver's paradise.

It's a work in progress.
Early Thursday evening, tourists weren't snapping photos of the Hollywood sign. The landmark structure spelled out "Sollywood."
Later Thursday, it spelled "Sallywood." On Friday morning, the sign was shrouded in fog, but "Savlywood" could be seen from below once skies cleared.
By Friday evening, the sign was transformed to say "Save the Peok."
When the temporary makeover is finally complete, the sign will spell "Save the Peak." It's all part of a campaign to raise $5.5 million to help buy the land around the landmark to keep the land from being developed.
People who came from all over to take pictures of the sign got a rare opportunity to see the sign altered, even though they might miss out on seeing the sign as it's supposed to be.
Local news from across Southern California
One-hundred thirty-eight acres of Cahuenga Peak, that's to the left of the "H" and below it, belong to a private investor. That investor is willing to sell the land to preservationists if they can raise $12 Million by April.
It was supposed to be a temporary advertisement for a land development. Hollywoodland was the name. It appeared in 1923.
The "Land" part of the sign disappeared, but the rest has been the Icon for Hollywood ever since.
The sign was saved once or twice before, with benefactors including Hugh Hefner and Alice Cooper.
This time the sign is indebted so far to Eileen Getty and Tiffany and Company. Both donated $1 million.
"What we definitely get is beauty and nature, and what's more beautiful and natural than the Hollywood sign and the land surrounding it," said Anisa Kamadoli of Costa/Tiffany and Company.
City officials and residents have worried through the years of development cluttering the postcard-perfect view of the landmark.
To launch the fund-raising drive, the land conservation group received permission to superimpose over the Hollywood sign giant letters that spell out the message "Save the Peak" -- to be fully in place from Thursday through next Tuesday.

Leah Remini is opening up about her time as a follower of the Church of Scientology as well as her decision to leave the church.
The former "King of Queens" star will sit down for an interview on "20/20", where she will speak about her experience in the church and how the environment became something she could no longer bear.
"The decision to leave is, you're giving up everything you have worked for your whole life," she said to ABC News' Dan Harris. "I feel that people need to understand this has been my whole life and I want them to understand how it happens."
U.S. & World
She continued, "As time goes on, you start to lose touch with the real world. The mindset becomes us against them."
PHOTOS: Celebrities who are outspoken about their religion
Remini also opened up about a famous member of the Church of Scientology — Tom Cruise, who is an outspoken advocate for the church.
"Being critical of Tom Cruise is being critical of Scientology itself. You are evil," she alleged.
The interview comes before Remini, who is currently starring in the TLC reality show "It's All Relative", is releasing a new book titled "Troublemaker: Surviving Hollywood and Scientology."
APP: Download the E! Online app to get the latest celebrity news on the go!
The memoir will be a "moving and eye-opening account" of Remini's 30 years within the church, according to Ballantine Books.
"Bold, brash, and bravely confessional, 'Troublemaker' chronicles Leah Remini's remarkable journey toward emotional and spiritual freedom, both for herself and for her family."
Since leaving the church, Remini's daughter was baptized in the Catholic Church where the family celebrated "new beginnings."
"For the record @leahremini and I have always been Catholic," Remini's husband Angelo Pagan wrote after the ceremony. "It was a beautiful experience and our little angel is on her way to a more spiritual existence. God Bless!"
The full interview will air Friday night at 10 p.m. on ABC. Remini's new book will be available for purchase on Nov. 3.

This well-signposted, family-friendly route of approximately 190 km is comprised of four circuits of between 27 and 57 km and runs through the picturesque heaths and marshes of the Altes Land region along the Elb river and the Cuxland.
The air of the North Sea and of the region's Hanseatic past envelops visitors as they travel through this rivered landscape. The large concentration of farms in the region mean that there are plenty of opportunities to stop off for a spot of cheese, yoghurt tasting or some other tasty treat.
Here a short stop en-route becomes an art
The route starts in Hude where it is best to leave your car behind. Stop for a few moments at the Oste landing platform and continue on bicycle across Grünland to the dyke in Gräpel. Then take the pram ferry over the Oste river to Brobergen and cycle along this side of the Oste down to Kranenburg. Did you know that calves live in igloos? On Jarck Farm (Hof Jarck), the calves are reared in open-fronted igloos which protect them from the wind and give them lots of fresh air. While the kids play in the children's zoo, the grown ups can find out all about rearing calves at one of the talks organised at the farm.
And there's more
Strong cyclists can continue through the lush countryside of Himmelpforten along the "Steel, udders and centrifuges" route. In the farms of the Stader Geest region you can have a go at milking plastic udders, transporting bales of hay or long-distance broom throwing (Besenwerfen) to get a real taste of rural life. And in return for all your hard work, you will receive the "De lütte Melkbuer" award, a certificate to prove what you have learnt. By the end of this group tour, even the most hardened urbanite will know one end of a cow from the other and that milk does not originate from the carton.
To be experienced at your leisure
On the "Moorland farms and high-tech cows" route, you will discover all there is to know about fully-automated milk production in the 21st century. Prepare to have your eyes opened! The farms along this route invite you to take a break in their milking parlour where you can sample yoghurt, homemade cakes and other high-quality dairy products. Why not find out more about dairy farming or visit a farm as well? Don't forget to book in advance!
Cycle hire also available
This route is best explored as part of a cycling tour or on foot rather than by car, and as the countryside here is flat and even, the Lower Saxony Milk Route is suitable for both amateur and expert cyclists alike. So what are you waiting for? Just look out for the mischievous cow-on-wheels signs and you'll be on the right track. Please be aware that tours may run on a reduced capacity during harvest time or milking times.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Al Pacino will play Joe Paterno in a movie about the late Penn State football coach.
Producer Edward R. Pressman confirms Brian De Palma will direct "Happy Valley," the tentative title of the film, based on Joe Posnanski's best-seller "Paterno."
"'Happy Valley' reunites the 'Scarface' and 'Carlito's Way' team of De Palma and Pacino for the third time and I can't think of a better duo to tell this story of a complex, intensely righteous man who was brought down by his own tragic flaw," Pressman said in a statement. No start or release dates were given for the film.
While Pressman said the plot remains "under wraps," Posnanski's book followed Paterno's final years, as the winningest coach in college football history saw his career end in disgrace in 2011 with the sex abuse scandal involving assistant Jerry Sandusky.

When I ran across a recipe for Chicken Maque Choux in the pages of Gourmet 15 years ago, it soon became a summer standard. The dish has morphed over the years, and my copy of the original recipe is long gone. It's a super versatile dish, with zucchini and other summer vegetables frequently making their way into the corn mixture. Rub chicken thighs with a mixture of cinnamon, cumin, garlic and onion powder and sauté them until crispy brown. Fresh corn, onions, tomatoes and bell peppers are added to the skillet to soak up the crispy brown bits in the pan, and the chicken is nestled in the mixture, covered and baked. The vegetables soak up the yummy chicken juices for an easy dish that impresses everyone. Pair it with watermelon-cucumber salsa and chips, and a baguette to soak up all the yummy juices.

The bible is the source document. Concepts and ideas in it and the unerring undeviating belief it its authority are the bedrock to which all believers cling. So why isn't this absurd compendium, its origins and principles addressed/disassembled more directly by rationalists (like myself)? 66 writings assembled/filtered by the first council of Nicaea. The seed documents are the pentateuch. I believe; from these other concepts follow. All of this is the work of men believing in a sky daddy for their crops.
Believers:"the word of god". Is that because IT says so, or they do? I am definitely on the wrong planet. It's so basic an issue. If my chicken scratches, signed " this is the word of god" are found in 2000 years time, will I have started macthornbergism?

Please help! I'm really lost right now!!!!
2. Assume that an arrays has been defined:
int[] par = new int[18];
int[] strokes = new int[18];
Assume that every compartment of the arrays contains an appropriate integer value representing the par value and the number of strokes made by a golfer on each hole of an eighteen hole golf course.
a. Write a code segment that calculates and displays the number of holes upon which the golfer made an eagle. To make an eagle, the number of strokes made by the golfer must be two fewer than the par value for the hole.
b. Write a code segment to display the hole numbers for all holes on which the golfer missed par. To miss par, the number of strokes on the hole must be greater than the par value for the hole.
3. Write a code segment that prompts the user to enter a sentence and then displays all of the words in the sentence which have an odd number of letters in them. You may assume that the user will input a string consisting of only English language words each separated by exactly one blank space and that the only punctuation symbol will be a period at the end of the sentence.

In the first such visit in more than four years, the top U.S. military oficer met with his Chinese counterparts in Beijing Sunday. From the New York Times:
The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Adm. Mike Mullen, held talks with his Chinese counterpart, Gen. Chen Bingde, the chief of the general staff of the People's Liberation Army, and senior Chinese government officials. Admiral Mullen's visit follows a similar trip by General Chen to the United States in May.
Ties between the two militaries have been improving since January's summit meeting in Washington between President Hu Jintao and President Obama. The Chinese had suspended relations with the Pentagon for much of 2010 to protest American arms sales to Taiwan and a January 2010 visit to the White House by the Dalai Lama.
But Admiral Mullen's visit comes as tensions between the two militaries are threatening to rise once more, this time over China's claim to virtually all the South China Sea. The Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia and Brunei also claim parts of the sea, which is believed to hold valuable oil and mineral deposits beneath the seabed.
Vietnam conducted live-fire naval drills last month after Chinese vessels severed an exploration cable of a Vietnamese ship that was searching for oil deposits in a disputed area. Admiral Mullen arrived in Beijing almost two weeks after the United States Navy held joint drills with the Philippines, and as the United States conducted what it called a low-level exercise with Japanese and Australian warships off the Brunei coast.
The Straits Times also reports that Adm. Mullen specifically asked for China's help in dealing with North Korea.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) After struggling to score points and move the chains for much of the season, the Carolina Panthers' offense has suddenly hit its stride.
Too bad it's too late in the year to make a difference.
At 4-9 the Panthers won't be playing in the postseason, which makes Carolina's 30-20 win over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday a little bittersweet.
``This shows what we were capable of,'' coach Ron Rivera said. ``That's the sad part.''
Cam Newton threw for 287 yards and scored on a 72-yard run as the Panthers piled up 475 yards. The second-year quarterback ran for a career-high 116 yards to help the Panthers snap a five-game losing streak against their I-85 rivals.
Said offensive tackle Jordan Gross: ``Our offense today is what I kind of thought it would be all year long. We passed well. We threw the ball. We ran the ball well. We blocked well.''
For Newton, it was his first victory in four tries against his hometown team and he admitted after the game it was a special feeling.
``I think this game allows me to have a little chip on my shoulder,'' said Newton, last year's AP Offensive Rookie of the Year.
Since Week 9, Newton has 15 TDs (11 passing, four rushing) and two turnovers.
``I think this whole offense is clicking and you know, we've just got to connect the dots,'' Newton said.
Carolina's defense was superb through 2 1/2 quarters, helping build a 23-0 lead and a 356-86 edge in total yards.
The Panthers came in with little to play for except to gain a measure of revenge on Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan, whom they felt disrespected them after Atlanta's 30-28 come-from-behind win on Sept. 30.
Defensive end Greg Hardy and others were upset when television cameras caught Ryan cursing at the Panthers sideline, telling them to get off the Falcons' field. Hardy responded by saying last week the Panthers were a ``better team'' than the Falcons, adding a variety of trash talk.
After Sunday's win Hardy turned the tables on the Falcons, repeating several times what Ryan told them back in Week 4 as he walked off the field.
At one point Falcons kicker Matt Bryant returned fire at Hardy, saying ``Watch us in January.''
Hardy left the locker room before reporters were allowed in.
Ryan downplayed the war of words.
``I don't pay too much attention to it,'' said Ryan, who threw for 342 yards and two scores with one interception. ``They were better than us today, that's for sure. They came out and played better than us. We're in a position in our season where we've got everything right in front of us, and we need to get back to work and worry about that.''
Said Panthers cornerback Captain Munnerlyn: ``It's tough to say that we're overall better than the Falcons because they're 11-2, but I like Greg's confidence.''
The Falcons, of course, are headed to the playoffs and Sunday was a speed bump in what has been an outstanding season.
However, the loss will certainly be of concern to Falcons fans that have witnessed good teams in the past under coach Mike Smith either fade late in the season or struggle in the playoffs.
Smith said he'll use the loss as a ``teaching point'' and that ``we have to play our best football here in the fourth quarter'' of the season.
It was all Carolina in the first half, beginning with the coin toss.
The Panthers hadn't won a coin flip all year until Sunday, causing team captain Jordan Gross to exalt at midfield by thrusting both arms into the air. Including overtime, the Panthers were 0-13 on coin flips.
``I've never seen people cheering so loud for a coin toss,'' Gross said with a laugh.
Carolina quickly took advantage, taking the opening kickoff and going 77 yards in 11 plays with Greg Olsen making a leaping grab in the back of the end zone for a 7-0 lead.
That set the tone for the first half.
By the time Graham Gano's third field goal sailed through the uprights as time expired, the Panthers led 16-0 and had run 45 plays to Atlanta's 13, outgaining the Falcons 270-35.
Led by Newton, who had some big runs on third-and-long, including a highlight-reel 14-yarder in which he avoided three tacklers on third-and-11, the Panthers had 15 first downs to Atlanta's two.
Carolina didn't let up in the second half.
After the Panthers stuffed Atlanta on its first drive, Newton faked a handoff to DeAngelo Williams and raced 72 yards to the end zone, getting an assist from receiver Steve Smith, who took out two would-be tacklers with a big block around the 20. Newton somersaulted into the end zone for a 23-0 lead.
``I had a lot of practice blocking playing for (former Panthers) coach (John) Fox,'' Smith said, referring to Fox's tendency to run more than pass it while in Carolina.
Ryan threw two touchdown passes and Michael Turner ran for one, but the Falcons couldn't catch up.
The Panthers put it away midway through the fourth quarter. After costly defensive holding penalty on cornerback Dunta Robinson, Williams caught a screen pass from Newton and raced 53 yards for a 30-13 lead.
NOTES: The Panthers played without four starters: WR Brandon LaFell, RB Jonathan Stewart, LB James Anderson and DT Dwan Edwards. ... Rivera ended his news conference early after starting to get emotional talking about the comeback of Thomas Davis, who has battled back from three torn ACLs to be a major contributor this season. ... Atlanta had won eight of the past nine games against Carolina before Sunday's loss.

A 15-month-old boy survived an 11-story fall from a Minneapolis apartment building in what doctors are calling a miracle.
Musa Dayib slipped through slits in the balcony railing and landed on a patch of mulch on Sunday, Reuters reported.
The boy suffered a concussion and fractures to his arms, ribs and spine.
He also has a punctured lung, but avoided any major head injury, Minneapolis TV station WCCO reported.
The boy's father was watching him and his 3-year-old sister at the time. The father had gone into the other room for something when his daughter ran to him saying, "Daddy. The baby fell," Somali community activist Abdirizak Bihi told the Star-Tribune.
Dr. Tina Slusher said she's never seen a child survive such a fall.
"That's a gift from God to the family, because he shouldn't of made it," she told WCCO.

Girl Friday: Hammer Time
Posted by Unknown
Right after my fifteenth birthday, my dad strongly suggested I get a summer job. And by "strongly suggested" I mean every morning, while we were at the kitchen table, he'd stare at me for several moments - kinda blankly, but in a "summing-me-up" kinda way, and then shout over his right shoulder, "This kid needs a job!" I'm not completely sure who he was talking to because it was just the two of us in the kitchen, but he had a point. I mean I hadn't taken any steps toward my dream of becoming a millionaire or a rock star, so it was obvious that I needed a little nudge in the career department. My Mom was a vocational director at the high school where she worked and suggested that I enroll in the vocational program at my high school. I did and was placed at a beautiful china shop called The Brownie Shoppe. A lady named Boots (I have no idea what her real name was, this was her nickname) was my manager and I loved her to pieces. She taught me a lot about the world of work and tutored me in the manner in which to conduct myself while at work. Plus, she talked me through some occasional teenage angst and like to take soft-serve yogurt breaks!
So, I tell you all of that to tell you this - this summer I'm doing my best impersonation of Boots. And by that I mean that I have hired my children to help me get the shop ready for opening day and then requested that they continue on as sales staff for the few weeks before they are off to camp at the end of July. I'm not sure if I have given them any valuable information to take with them on to future jobs but I have learned a little something about myself - I have quite a healthy "micro-manager" streak developing - and I'm sure if you were to ask them, they would say that it's actually a fully developed "micro-manager" streak!
So my kids have become my full-time, on-location carpenters slash painters slash electricians slash plumbers slash landscape experts. Needless to say neither one of them had previously done a lot of this kind of work, so there has been quite a bit of on the job training. The other day I was perched on a ladder changing out the gawd-awful florescent lights that came with the space to something a little more attractive when I had this interaction with my kids:
ME: Okay, lets see . . . Oh, it looks like I need a different screwdriver than the one that I brought up here with me . . . could one of you go fetch me a Phillips? The tool box is in the bathroom . . .
NOAH: Right . . . I'll go get it . . .
OLIVIA: . . . (smiles and let's out a sigh and kinda sways from her heels to her toes as she swings her arms out in front of her and then to the back of her)
ME: . . . . . . wait, wait and wait some more . . . .
NOAH: I don't see it anywhere. . . . . . . What IS a Phillips?
OLIVIA: (with a facial expression I'll never forget, like she was amused and tickled and overwhelmed all at the same time said this) You named your screwdriver? . . . . how sweet! . . . . What's the hammer's name?
And after that I got nothin' . . . . except to say that my children and the Hubbs have worked the booties off along side me and I love them to pieces and thank them more than words can say!!
So below are a few photos of my children becoming familiar with the tools of their mother's trade and a glimpse or two into the decor choices for the shop.

I admit it. I flunk blogging. I'm inconsistent and I take loooooooong breaks in between posts.
But today, I have news . . . BIG news!
If my blog were one of those 24-hour news channels like CNN or MSNBC, it would be running an endless loop of white banners at the bottom of your computer screen with phrases like VINTAGE LAUNDRESS SIGNS LEASE and LAUNDRESS TO REOPEN BRICKS AND MORTAR SHOP. And, under the white banners would be "the crawl," - you know the endless moving line of script that reports the steps that I have taken over the last several weeks to prepare for opening day, from the paint colors that I have chosen to cover the walls of the store, to the number of friends, family and even customers that have come out of the woodwork to help get this venture up and running, to how much paint I find in my hair, under my fingernails, and on every single t-shirt and pair of shorts that I own on a daily basis. I might even resort to using one of the most oversold phrases on the planet and slap a bright red banner that reads "BREAKING NEWS" across my blog header just for funzies.
All of which you might think a little excessive, but I'm really excited about reopening the shop and want to share the details. I mean, you have to admit, it's not like my BREAKING NEWS is something obvious like; BREAKING NEWS: NUNS DON'T CUSS or BREAKING NEWS: IT'S GOOD TO HAVE EARS.
So, back to my point (and I've buried my lead as usual);
Below are a few photos of the shop before I got my hands and paint on it. Thursday and Friday I will share "after" photos and supply the "what", "when" and "where" details of the grand opening.

What's Athens Like?
While Athens is known for its remarkable history and ancient ruins, it's also an ideal place for food lovers. A typical day in Athens begins with a cup of coffee. Find a respected shop and prepare to wait as each cup is meticulously mixed and brewed. Don't be afraid to have only coffee as you start the day. Wander around until you find a shop selling another traditional breakfast item: yogurt smothered in nuts and honey. After you lick your lips, visit a museum or historic site. The Parthenon is a good choice. Then hit up a street market for a snack of olives or fruit. Shop a little for trinkets before your midday meal. For lunch, find a souflaki stand, where you'll savor a fried pita bread disc covered in pork or beef, with veggies on top. After walking off this meal, return to your Athens hotel for a little nap. If it's a pleasant night, head out to catch a show at one of Athens' many open-air cinemas. If it's after nine at night when the show lets out, so what? Athens doesn't come alive until the sun goes down, and many residents don't eat their suppers until after ten. After a pleasant meal of shellfish and other fresh seafood delights, dance a little, then head back to your room to rest up for another exciting day in Athens.

Greeks are proud of their country and of their culture. Showing respect and admiration for the history and accomplishments of Greece is a guaranteed way to impress the locals in Athens. You'll find the residents love to answer questions about their community and about their own favorite attractions.

A famous token from Athens is a set of worry beads, often carried by Greek men, and available in small shops all over the city. The craftspeople who create the beads will share with you the worry beads' meaning and significance if you ask. Be friendly and respectful, and the people of Athens will graciously return the favor.

Dear Dad,
Never felt better in my life. Hope you are all well. I'd like to see Bill's son but we are all pretty well separated now. Hope to be home soon a healthier stronger and better man
Dear Em.
Well here we are gaurding this tunnel from being blown up and any smuggling of ammunition and supplies. We wasn't here ten minutes before we pulled a Spick (this is what they call a Mexican down this way,) off a freight train and I had him sent back. He was pretty sore and showed it to the extent that I kept my hand on my revolver for any quick work should it be nessesary. But every thing turned out all right so it's a thing of yesterday now.
We broke camp this morning at half past five and were on our way at seven, using motor trucks for transportation. It is about six or seven miles from here to Camp Cotton and this detatchment of which I have charge is about one and one half miles from where the rest of the company, or our base is. Say Em, you can look back and remember when we used to go to Maine on our vacation, and how much more pleasanter than the hot, stifling streets of the city, was the cool, vast fields of Manchester. Well I have experienced that in less than two hours to day, for where we are camped now, (that is, our base) although there is not much grass or many trees, it is a paridise in comparison to Camp Cotton. I guess as I sit here, (with nothing to do but see that ten privates and a corporal are on the job) I will try to make clear to you, how we are here and the rest of the regiment is elsewhere.
There are two companies left behind to do gaurd duty, and I guess it will take one company alone to gaurd the prisoners, for there are quite a few and the most of them are bad ones, for instance one of them beat an officer very badly besides other charges that are against him. As I said in my last letter, Co. L & Co. K are here to gaurd the cement works and all railroads leading out of El Paso, going Northwest. Co. M is going quite a distance on the border, and the other companies are distributed at different important stations. We, (the regiment) are releaving the Fifth who have been here for the last fifteen days, and they said that we were lucky in being picked for this place. They were all dreading to go back to camp Cotton, and to tell the truth I am sorry for them too. But then we will be back there when we have done fifteen days here, then it will be sour grapes again, (all in the game.).
Well we drove up to the camp site, and no sooner got out of the trucks than Searg. Smith an I were told to each pick a corporal and ten privates and report with them imediately which we did. Then the old outpost comander, whose duty it is to show new detachments there positions and explain to them their duties started to lead us to where I am now indevoring to make myself under stood in writing (how is that some lingo what?) Gee but it was some hike over here from camp. We had to carry every thing we are to use for our stay here and I found out right away that we are not seasoned soldiers yet. The load we carried included, (private; half of shelter tent, one pole, five pins, a ponchow (or rubber coat), a blanket, pair of breaches, four pair of socks, extra pair of shoes, three suits of underwear, two bathe towels, pair of over alls, and extra o.d. shirts, comb, tooth brush and powder, soak. This is all in the roll. On the belt we are carrying ninty rounds of ammunition, bayonet, a brush knife, shovel or axe, wire cutters, canteen of water. This is what a private is carrying. I am carrying just the same only I carry a revolver with sixty rounds of bullets for it, besides the rifle and ammunition to go with that.
Now what I am getting at is the short, last oh such a hard hike to get here with all this truck on us. First you have to climb an awful steep incline to get to a trestle bridge that spanse the Rio Grande. Then all we have to walk on is a narrow board about one and one half feet wide. Then its walk along the r.r. tracks for about another half mile, and say dosen't the sun beat down on these road beds. Then we hit across the side of a mountain, on which a misstep will not plunge you to sure death, but you'd never come out of it with out being hurt. After plowing across this hard trail for about a half mile we hit this road, which is all right, (why?) well because it was the end of this, burdensome hike. Well we got here and here we stay until July 26, at ten oclock, when we will be releaved by the other company, Co. L.
When I started this letter, we had just got over (a mess,) dinner. Before leaving Camp Cotton we were issued rations enough for two meals and they have got to do us for three. It consists of one can of beans a can of corned willie, also four hard tack per man for three meals. It's a good thing there is a place about a quarter of a mile up the road where they give us water. We built a fire just out side of the tunnel and warmed up three cans of beans and three of willie and divided them amongst all the eleven of us, and it went down good beleive me. I wish I had a camera and I would bring home the prettiest picture that you ever saw in your life. It is a view that could be taken from a point that is reached on climbing a hill just side of the tunnel. This tunnel is about ¼ of a mile long. The corporal and three men are posted at one end, and yours truly with six men is posted at the other. You see I have some body gaurd. My orders are to use my own horse sense, and keep the men from causing any more hardship on train men than is nessessary.
The Ninth Reg. is getting to be the jok of the Brigade. One instance. At last nights intertainment that the Eighth held there was a boxing bout going on. It was a tame affair, both hugging each other like lovers. Well you know the joking and joshing that is bound to go on at this kind of an affair. Some one from the crowd hollered shoot him, and them some one else yelled "Put him up in front of the Ninth." Every body got wise right away and had a great laugh. The fellow that said it ment that any body that gets in front of a Ninth man is taking an awfull chance for he is liable to be taken for a Mex. and bloie.
We are all in side the tunnel out of the sun, and every time a train comes every body jumps and runs for the opening, for ten minutes after a train goes through, it is sufocating. I hope you will accept that cheap souviner I sent you in my last, realizing that it was the only thing I could get just now. It is some thing any way, but it isnt the last. Give my regards to every body and tell the Higginses that I am very glad to receive so many letters from them. Writing on a R.R. tie is no easy job but its done so I will close.
Loving Sam.
P.S. Just to show you how thick I am I thought that the other page was the last one. And say I never noticed what page I was starting on. I just read over the whole thing and I guess you will have to if you want to read it in English. It's a case of one page forward, two back. It is like a modern dance and probably about as easy to understand. Well so long. How is the machine. How is Pa. How is Henry. How is Mary. How is Bert. How is Lena. How is the Hollands. How are you?

text: TV / Video Al Jazeera's Fledgling Sports Net Refines Its Ground Game BeIN taps TBWA\Chiat\Day to forge a brand identityBy Andrew McMains|February 5, 2013 Share By Andrew McMains|February 5, 2013 Share In its bid to become a bona fide player in the U.S., the fledgling network beIN Sport has a lot going for it: deep pockets (thanks to the backing of Al Jazeera), the rights to choice soccer leagues like France's Ligue 1, and distribution via Comcast, Dish Network and DirecTV. That said, beIN's initial reach and programming slate pale compared to giants like ESPN and NBC Sports Network. Still, the newbie is betting that smart marketing can help it compete. After a search, beIN has hired the New York office of TBWA\Chiat\Day to create ads in the U.S. The agency's challenge is formidable: create a brand identity in a crowded field of national sports nets that later this year also will include Fox Sport 1. It's a tough task, but not impossible. "The difficulty is finding those audiences, then once you find them, you have to stand for something," said Justin Barocas, a partner at marketing communications firm Anomaly, who has worked on both ESPN and NBCSN. "You have to be able to build a programming schedule and content … that serves those audiences in the most appropriate way while having your own singular voice because that's what's going to stand out. It's not just, 'We have this matchup on this Saturday.' It's more about, 'Here's what we believe in; here's what we stand for.' " In other words, if ESPN is the ultimate home for sports fans and NBCSN is about the humanity of sports, what is beIN's distinction? Beyond that core branding challenge, beIN also has a significant disadvantage in reach. The market leader is ESPN, with distribution to more than 98 million homes, followed by Golf Channel with 84 million homes and NBCSN with 78 million, according to Nielsen. And once Fox Sport 1 launches, it will likely become the new No. 2. Fox plans to use its Speed channel as the main vehicle for its national sports net. Speed reaches some 87 million homes. By comparison, one source estimated beIN's reach at no more than 10 million homes. (The newcomer isn't tracked by Nielsen, and beIN, through its public relations agency, declined to speak to Adweek for this article.) In the eyes of media analyst Michael Nathanson, that reach disparity is beIN's greatest challenge. "No distribution [provider] is running out today begging to launch a new sports network unless you're Time Warner Cable in Los Angeles," said Nathanson of Nomura Equity Research, alluding to plans for the media giant to launch a regional channel built around the Los Angeles Dodgers. "Everyone else is, 'We've got enough sports, thank you.' " Another potential obstacle for beIN is soccer saturation. While the growing U.S. Hispanic population has fueled demand for soccer on TV, that demand already is served by sports nets and broadcasters like Telemundo, Univision and Fox Soccer Channel. So, acquiring the rights to other sports such as Nascar or college football will be key to beIN's long-term success, said John Ourand of Sports Business Journal. Despite the headwinds, Ourand is bullish about beIN's chances in America, simply because the Al Jazeera-affiliated net is well-funded. "That means they can afford to pay rights fees, and that means they can afford to get cable carriage deals that maybe aren't the best," he said. "Another plus … is they are happy to accept sport tier carriage so far. So they're taking the tack that they just want to get on. And once they get on, it's sort of like Fox News 15 years down the road." And we all know how that gambit turned out. Share http://adweek.it/2jRxLod copy Adweek Adweek
