In June of 1908, Anne of Green Gables appeared on the list of a small Boston firm, L.C. Page and Company. Then-unknown Canadian author L.M. Montgomery had found it difficult to find a publisher in the United States—and so she did what so many new authors do today. She submitted to the Page brothers because she believed it might be easier to get published by a small press.
As luck would have it, a young editorial assistant from Prince Edward Island read the manuscript and fell in love with it. The owners of the firm seemed less enthusiastic. When they wrote the author, they suggested that the book might not do very well, and so they wanted to make a deal with her. She would get a flat fee of $500, and the firm would retain all rights to the book in perpetuity. As the author later admitted, she now had to make one of the hardest decisions in her life. In 1908, $500 was a lot of money. But she had such belief in her character—could she not give Anne away even for $500. In the end, she negotiated a reduced royalty on each book sold, a mere $.09 a copy.
Although the firm created less than two thousand copies for the first print run, the book met with immediate acclaim. Anne of Green Gables would go through six printings in six months, selling nineteen thousand copies. At the end of that period, the now much more famous author received her first royalty check—for $1730. She had been right about her character, one whom Mark Twain believed to be the most lovable child in fiction to follow Alice in Wonderland.
Anne Shirley, a redheaded, determined orphan, realizes the minute she arrives at the farmhouse called Green Gables that she wants to stay forever. But she fears that the Cuthberts will send her away because they wanted a sturdy boy to help with the farm work. Anne ultimately charms her new family, neighborhood, and readers—and her exploits continue in other volumes. The author so brilliantly re-creates the landscape and people of Prince Edward Island in southeastern Canada, that today millions of families travel there to see the house that inspired Green Gables, run by the Canadian Park Service and the L. M. Montgomery Museum.
Anne always called her special friends "kindred spirits." Today there are legions of them, all over the world. Happy 103th birthday Anne of Green Gables. It would be hard to imagine the children's book world without this glorious book.
Here's a passage from Anne of Green Gables:
The girl let the braid drop back with a sigh that seemed to come from her very toes and to exhale forth all the sorrows of the ages.
"Yes, it's red," she said resignedly. "Now you see why I can't be perfectly happy. Nobody could who had red hair. I don't mind the other things as much—the freckles and the green eyes and my skinniness. I can imagine them away. I can imagine that I have a beautiful rose leaf complexion and lovely starry violet eyes. But I cannot imagine that red hair away. I do my best. I think to myself, 'Now my hair is a glorious black, black as the raven's wing.' But all the time I know it is just plain red, and it breaks my heart. It will be my lifelong sorrow. I read of a girl once in a novel who had a lifelong sorrow, but it wasn't red hair. Her hair was pure gold rippling back from her alabaster brow. What is an alabaster brow? I never could found out. Can you tell me?"

Aaron Watson Pays Tribute to Bull Rider Lane Frost in 'July in Cheyenne' Video
Texas country singer Aaron Watson's 'July in Cheyenne' video will hit home for real cowboys, as well as many country music fans. The clip tells the story of Lane Frost, a 25-year-old bull riding champion killed in July 1989.
Frost died after a ride at Cheyenne Frontier Days, and his story was turned into a movie starring Luke Perry. Watson becomes the latest to pay tribute to the legend, who was one of the most prolific bull riders of all time. The song was so touching that the singer even became friends with Elsie Frost, Lane's mother.
The music video features never-before-seen footage of Frost. Watch it here, and learn more about his latest album 'Real Good Time' at his official website. 'July in Cheyenne' is the fourth and final single from Watson's 'Real Good Time.'

Ex-Stockton mayor arrested at San Francisco airport
An arrest warrant was issued for the former mayor on Thursday
An arrest warrant was issued for the former mayor on Thursday
An arrest warrant was issued for the former mayor on Thursday
Former Stockton Mayor Anthony Silva was arrested Sunday at the San Francisco International Airport, his attorney Allen Sawyer said.
Silva was returning from a vacation in Colombia.
An arrest warrant was issued for Silva on Thursday on charges of profiteering, embezzlement, misappropriation of public funds and grand theft, among other charges.
Silva left for vacation to the South American country on Wednesday, the day before the arrest warrant was issued.
"This was just taking advantage of an opportunity, from what I understand, to go on vacation," Sawyer said on Thursday.
After taking him into custody at SFO, law enforcement officers took him to San Joaquin County Jail, Silva's friend said. The friend was contacted by authorities and asked to pick up Silva's belongings from the jail.
The arrest warrant was issued the same day FBI agents and investigators from the San Joaquin County District Attorney's Office served search warrants at Silva's home and the Stockton Kids Club, formerly known as the Boys and Girls Club. Silva used to run the Boys and Girls Club.
Sawyer said Silva's arrest is about financial matters and is not related to his arrest in Amador County last year.
Silva was taken into custody during a Stockton youth camp at Silver Lake on allegations of eavesdropping on minors. The charges were later reduced to a misdemeanor by an Amador County judge.
"This is a completely unrelated case, a new case, and it's financial in nature," Sawyer said on Thursday. "It illuminates that it has anything to do with a type of personal crime or anything crime of violence or any crime against a person."
No other details about Silva's arrest have been released.

Northern Ballet – the full story
Artistic Director Laverne Meyer
1969 – 1976
Northern Dance Theatre was set up in 1969 by Canadian-born Laverne Meyer. Meyer was a dramatic dancer whose formative years were spent with Bristol-based Western Theatre Ballet, the first ever British dance company to be based outside London.
The creation of Northern Dance Theatre was backed by the Arts Council, North West Arts and other supporters, and the Company gave its first performance at the University Theatre, Manchester, accompanied by musicians from the Royal Northern College of Music.
The Company began with 11 dancers and the emphasis was on small-scale classical and modern works, suiting both the size of the Company and the venues in which it performed. Northern Dance Theatre survived these early years through inventiveness, hard work and sheer determination, building a strong identity and a loyal audience in the North.
Artistic Director Robert de Warren
1976 -1987
Robert de Warren was appointed Artistic Director in 1976. A classically trained dancer with a wealth of experience, having previously worked with the Royal Ballet and the larger West German ballet companies.
To highlight the Company's new focus on ballet, he renamed it Northern Ballet Theatre. Now with over 20 dancers, de Warren was able to work on scaled-down versions of full-length classical ballets, rediscovered works and brand new creations. It was also under his leadership that the Company started to build an international reputation, recruiting dancers from China, Japan, Italy and France, and touring Italy and Hong Kong. The rapidly expanding repertoire of shorter ballets, to which de Warren and Andre Prokovsky made significant contributions, included work from choreographers as distinguished as August Bournonville, Michael Fokine, Walter Gore, John Cranko and Royston Maldoom.
In 1987, after 11 years as Artistic Director, de Warren accepted a new post at La Scala, Milan. His contribution to the development of Northern Ballet Theatre had been significant; under his direction the Company increased in size to 28 dancers, Rudolf Nureyev became Artistic Laureate and danced as a regular guest artist, and HRH The Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon, became Northern Ballet's Royal Patron.
Artistic Director Christopher Gable
1987 – 1998
Christopher Gable's association with Northern Ballet Theatre began in 1987 when he was persuaded to take the part of Salford-born artist, L.S. Lowry in Gillian Lynne's new ballet for the Company, commissioned by Salford City Council to celebrate the artist's life and work.
As a result, Gable returned to the dance stage after 20 years away: Lynne knew of no other dancer whose experience could master the complex and sensitive character of Lowry. Following a notable career with the Royal Ballet, Gable had pursued an equally distinguished career as a stage, film and TV actor. His association with Ken Russell led to some of his most memorable film credits including the title role in The Boyfriend, in which he co-starred with Twiggy, and D.H. Lawrence's The Rainbow, co-starring Glenda Jackson. His TV work included Russell's much acclaimed insight into the life of Delius as seen through the eyes of Eric Fenby, played by Gable. His stage work included successful seasons with the Royal Shakespeare Company and The Royal Exchange Theatre.
A new focus
As Artistic Director of Northern Ballet Theatre, Gable focused as much on the 'theatre' as the 'ballet' in the Company's title. In a relatively small UK theatre circuit, which included a number of classical ballet companies, he saw a unique role for National Ballet Theatre. As a result, the Company attracted a new audience to dance through theatrical, emotional and dramatic narrative dance theatre.
With the emphasis on classical dance drama, the popular success of A Simple Man was followed by full-length productions of Swan Lake, Romeo & Juliet, A Christmas Carol, The Brontës, The Amazing Adventure of Don Quixote, Dracula, Giselle and The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Many of the productions won awards and were huge box office hits, making Northern Ballet Theatre one of the most successful touring companies in the UK.
An outstanding legacy
Gable's impact was remarkable. In his 11 years as Artistic Director, the Company developed a large and loyal audience who relished its innovative and accessible productions. The dancers also benefited hugely from Gable's theatrical experience as their new performance skills were carefully nurtured through a programme of acting, singing and mime workshops. As their ability to communicate with an audience was finely tuned, the Company's dancers were recognised not only for their expertise as classical dancers but also for their skill as actors.
Throughout his time at Northern Ballet Theatre, Gable also remained Artistic Director of Central School of Ballet, a school he co-founded with Ann Stannard in London in 1982, which became a source of dancers for the Company. Gable, who in 1996 was awarded a CBE for services to British dance, said:
'Northern Ballet Theatre and Central School of Ballet provide classical dance training and experience that is unique to the United Kingdom. It is narrative, theatrical and dramatic and is accessible to a wide range of audiences who would not otherwise see the highest quality of dance.'
When Gable died in 1998, the Company had begun to gain a worldwide reputation, with its productions requested by Norwegian National Ballet, Atlanta Ballet and The Royal New Zealand Ballet. Gable's invaluable legacy was that he made Northern Ballet Theatre a flagship for change: teaching a whole generation of dancers to think differently about their craft and through his philosophy attracting a new and wider audience to dance theatre.
Artistic Director Stefano Giannetti
1999 – 2001
In May 1999, Stefano Giannetti became the Company's fourth Artistic Director. His dance career had seen him create and perform principal roles for English National Ballet and Deutsche Oper, where he honed his skills as a choreographer in ballet and opera productions.
His first ballet for Northern Ballet Theatre was a well received adaptation of Charles Dickens's Great Expectations. Giannetti directed and choreographed the ballet which premiered in the Company's home city of Leeds in February 2000. Giannetti left the Company in May 2000 to pursue an international choreographic career.
Artistic Director David Nixon OBE
2001 – present day
David Nixon OBE joined the Company as Artistic Director in August 2001 and began the work of revitalising the Company's training programme and adding a variety of challenging works to the repertoire.
In February 2002, he presented his revised version of Madame Butterfly; poignant and dramatic, it was a triumph in London and on its UK tour. Then, in May 2002, Nixon gave the dancers the opportunity to 'let loose' in the UK première of his tribute to the music of George and Ira Gershwin, I Got Rhythm – the genius of Gershwin in song and dance. Another audience hit, the production had the added excitement of guest singers and the Company's orchestra appearing big-band style on stage.
Nixon's first complete new work for the Company, Wuthering Heights, was a glorious collaboration with composer Claude-Michel Schönberg. The production premiered at the Alhambra Theatre Bradford on 21 Sept 2002, close to Top Withins, the dramatic moors that inspired Emily Brontë's masterpiece.
Nixon has created over ten new full-length ballets for the Company and recreated many others new to the Company. In 2011, during his tenth season as Artistic Director, Nixon premièred his tenth new work for the Company, Cleopatra. This is a major new production created in collaboration with Claude-Michel Schönberg who wrote a new score for the ballet. Since then he has created Beauty & the Beast, a ballet version of the American classic The Great Gatsby to music from Sir Richard Rodney Bennett, and in December 2013 the Company premièred a new version of Cinderella choreographed by David which was Northern Ballet's highest grossing première to date.
New name, new home, new direction
Under Nixon's directorship, the Company moved to new purpose-built facilities and changed its name to Northern Ballet, reflecting its 21st century vision to become a powerhouse of inventive dance.
Northern Ballet is now regarded as one of the world's greatest ballet companies, committed to creating new ballets and touring widely, performing to audiences throughout the UK who otherwise wouldn't have access to the highest quality ballet. The Company is also much in demand internationally and has performed in China, Bangkok, Milan, Barcelona and Miami.
Northern Ballet's new home is a magnificent six-storey purpose-built space with seven dance studios, a 230-seat studio theatre, health suite, office space, meeting rooms and conference space. It is enabling the Company to expand its Academy, offer a wider programme of dance classes, create new work and give more opportunities for experimentation and invention as the Company continues its artistic growth and development.
In 2014 Northern Ballet won Best Company at the inaugural Taglioni European Ballet Awards and in 2016 were honoured by the Best Dance Award at the South Bank Show Sky Arts Awards.

EDEN PRAIRIE, MN--Life Time Fitness Inc. reported today that its fourth quarter 2006 revenue grew 34.5 percent and its 2006 revenue grew 31.2 percent.
Fourth quarter 2006 revenue was $139.3 million compared to $103.6 million during the same period the year before. Revenue for 2006 totaled $511.9 million compared to $390.1 million in 2005.
Bahram Akradi, Life Time Fitness chairman and CEO, announced the growth during a conference call with investors today.
Net income during the quarter grew 16.9 percent to $14.1 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, including the effect of share-based compensation expense. This compares to net income of $12.1 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, for the same period in 2005. For the full year, net income grew 22.7 percent to $50.6 million, or $1.37 per diluted share, from $41.2 million, or $1.13 per diluted share, for 2005.
"The company's fourth quarter and full-year results reflect our continued focus upon and execution of our core growth strategies," says Akradi, Life Time Fitness chairman and chief executive officer. During the fourth quarter, the company opened clubs in Overland Park, KS; Palm Valley, AZ; Alpharetta, GA; and Scottsdale, AZ. The company has also started construction on eight new current model centers that are scheduled to open this year.
Memberships grew 23.8 percent to 443,660 in 2006, Akradi says.
"We also are pleased with the in-center revenue growth of 41.7 percent to $35.9 million during fourth quarter 2006, and 41.6 percent to $138.3 million for the full year, which was driven primarily by membership ramp, targeted marketing programs, and new products and services," he says.

If you merely wish to recreate the distro package with minor modifications (e.g., adding custom patches), the easiest way to do that is by branching the Emulators:Wine package on the OBS, applying whatever changes you wish to make to the spec file, and building from that. See the openSUSE Build Service Tutorial for information on how to use the OBS.
2.2 From Git
Building from git is necessary to run regression tests or test patches.
2.2.1 Cloning the Wine Git Repository
Follow the instructions in the Git Wine Tutorial for cloning the Wine git repository.
2.2.2 Build Tools and Dependencies
The information in this section is based on openSUSE Leap 15 and Wine 3.13. Exact package names may vary depending on your version of openSUSE, and new dependencies may be added in future Wine versions. Always check the output of ./configure to verify that you have all needed dependencies installed.
The following repositories should be enabled to obtain basic build tools and Wine's build dependencies:
- OSS (the main repository; this one is required, and should already be set up on your system)
- Update (recommended in order to have the most up-to-date versions; for most people, this should also already be set up)
- Wine (recommended, as installing a distro package will pull in Wine's runtime dependencies)
Basic Build Tools
The meta-package patterns-openSUSE-devel_basis will install the basic tools needed for building (gcc, make, flex, bison). You should also install ccache, and git. On a 64 bit system, you will also need to install gcc-32bit and bison-32bit.
Installing the distro wine or wine-staging package is the easiest way to install the libraries Wine depends on, as zypper or Yast2 will automatically pull them in.
In addition to the runtime dependencies, the following development packages are needed:
alsa-devel capi4linux-devel dbus-1-devel fontconfig-devel freeglut-devel freetype2-devel giflib-devel glib2-devel glibc-devel glu-devel gstreamer-devel gstreamer-plugins-base-devel krb5-devel libcom_err-devel libexif-devel libgnutls-devel libgphoto2-devel libgsm-devel libjpeg8-devel liblcms2-devel libmpg123-devel libOSMesa-devel libpcap-devel libpng16-compat-devel libpulse-devel libSDL2-devel libtiff-devel libudev-devel libv4l-devel libX11-devel libXcomposite-devel libXcursor-devel libXext-devel libXfixes-devel libXi-devel libXinerama-devel libXxf86vm-devel libxml2-devel libXrandr-devel libXrender-devel libxslt-devel Mesa-libGL-devel mpg123-devel ncurses-devel openal-soft-devel opencl-headers openldap2-devel libopenssl-devel sane-backends-devel unixODBC-devel xorg-x11-devel vulkan-devel xz-devel zlib-devel
(Some of these packages may be installed by the patterns-openSUSE-devel_basis package.)
On a 64 bit system, you will also need to install the following -32bit packages:
alsa-devel-32bit capi4linux-devel-32bit dbus-1-devel-32bit fontconfig-devel-32bit freeglut-devel-32bit freetype2-devel-32bit giflib-devel-32bit glib2-devel-32bit glibc-devel-32bit glu-devel-32bit krb5-devel-32bit libcom_err-devel-32bit libgnutls-devel-32bit libgphoto2-devel-32bit libgsm-devel-32bit libjpeg8-devel-32bit liblcms2-devel-32bit libOSMesa-devel-32bit libpcap-devel-32bit libpng16-compat-devel-32bit libpulse-devel-32bit libSDL2-devel-32bit libtiff-devel-32bit libv4l-devel-32bit libX11-devel-32bit libXcomposite-devel-32bit libXcursor-devel-32bit libXext-devel-32bit libXfixes-devel-32bit libXi-devel-32bit libXinerama-devel-32bit libXxf86vm-devel-32bit libxml2-devel-32bit libXrandr-devel-32bit libXrender-devel-32bit libxslt-devel-32bit Mesa-libGL-devel-32bit mpg123-devel-32bit ncurses-devel-32bit openal-soft-devel-32bit openldap2-devel-32bit libopenssl-devel-32bit unixODBC-devel-32bit xz-devel-32bit zlib-devel-32bit
(Installing the wine-32bit-build-deps package will install most of the -32bit packages listed above.)
The glib2-devel-32bit packages for openSUSE versions 13.1, 13.2, and Leap 42.1 were missing the 32 bit header and pkgconfig files needed to compile 32 bit Wine with gstreamer support on a 64 bit system. The workaround was to extract the missing files from the i586 glib2-devel package and manually place the needed files in /usr/include and /usr/lib/pkgconfig. This problem has been fixed in Leap 42.2 and later. (See bug 973217)
After installing the above, you may need to make the following symlinks in /usr/lib:
ln -s libgstreamer-1.0.so.0 libgstreamer-1.0.so ln -s libgstbase-1.0.so.0 libgstbase-1.0.so ln -s libGL.so.1 libGL.so
The targets of the above symlinks may need to be adjusted depending on what version of the library you have installed.
If ./configure complains about missing 32 bit development files that you are sure are installed, check /usr/lib for missing .so symlinks to the relevant library and create them if needed.
At present vkd3d does not build on Leap 15, and ./configure will complain about the missing headers. Installing the packages from Tumbleweed may be an option, but this has not been tested.
Packages needed to build with HAL and OSSv4 support are not available from any of the openSUSE repositories, and ./configure will complain about it. Neither is needed on current versions of openSUSE; if those are the only things ./configure complains about, you are good to go.
2.2.3 Building 32 bit Wine
On a 32 bit system
After cloning the git repository, cd to the wine-git directory and run
CC="ccache gcc" ./configure --disable-tests
Check the output of ./configure to make sure there are no missing dependencies for features that you need. If there are, install them. Assuming all is well, just run
On a 64 bit system
After cloning the git repository, cd to the wine-git directory and run
CC="ccache gcc -m32" PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/pkgconfig ./configure --disable-tests
Check the output of ./configure to make sure there are no missing dependencies for features that you need. If there are, install them. Assuming all is well, just run
If all your apps/games are 32 bit, there is no need to build 64 bit Wine at all unless you are interested in helping with testing. Simply follow the instructions in the preceding section to build 32 bit Wine on a 64 bit system.
Pure 64 bit Wine is not a supported configuration (and is generally useless, as most Windows apps are still 32 bit). For 64 bit support, you must build both 64 bit and 32 bit Wine in a shared WoW64 setup. This does not require a container or chroot on openSUSE, but the builds must be done out of tree, and in the order specified below.
1. Build the 64 bit side
Create a directory for the 64 bit build and run configure from within that directory:
cd $HOME mkdir wine64 cd wine64 CC="ccache gcc" ../wine-git/configure --enable-win64 --disable-tests
Double check the output of configure for any missing 64 bit dependencies and install any that are needed. If all is well, run
from within the wine64 directory.
2. Build the 32 bit side
Create a directory for the 32 bit build and run configure from within that directory:
cd .. mkdir wine32 cd wine32 CC="ccache gcc -m32" PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/pkgconfig ../wine-git/configure --with-wine64=../wine64 --disable-tests
Double check the output of configure for any missing 32 bit dependencies and install any that are needed. If all is well, run
from within the wine32 directory.
2.3 From a Source Tarball
Building from a source tarball offers less flexibility than git while requiring the same amount of work
If you prefer to build from a source tarball rather than git, follow the instructions above for building from git, but instead of cloning the git repository, download the tarball for the version you want from http://dl.winehq.org/wine/source/ and extract it. Substitute the source directory for the wine-git directory when following the instructions.
In versions of Wine prior to 2.3, the tools directory contained a script called wineinstall. Do not use this script, even for building old versions of Wine. It was not updated for years and cannot build 64 bit Wine.

MIDDLEBURG, Fla. – A 17-year-old teen and three other students are facing expulsion from Middleburg High School for using laser pointers during a recent basketball game.
Sophomore William Jewett, 17, and three of his friends are currently suspended from the school. They are now waiting to hear from Middleburg High administrators to see if they will be expelled over the incident.
Jewett's father said he believes his son should be punished for his bad behavior, but expulsion from school is too extreme.
"I feel a young man should be punished, but I feel this is maybe a little over the edge," said Jewett.
Because Jewett's father is a veteran, there is money available in the G.I Bill for his son's education. However, the family says they will lose that money if the high school student is expelled.
"It's almost tantamount to educational suicide," said Jewett.
Jewett's father said he believes school administrators are overreacting to the incident because of recent events, like the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting that occurred in December.
"I don't think it was that big of a deal," said Jewett. "I understand all the sensitivity with all of the incidents, but I think it's just a little bit unreasonable."
Channel 4's Scott Johnson spoke to a Clay County School District spokeswoman, who said the issue was not as innocent as Jewett explains. She said the students' "actions stopped the entire event" and the school "had to escort them out of the facility."
Jewett's father said he still believes the school is overreacting.
"I think everyone's hypersensitive right now," said Jewett. "I think they're really over blowing things."

Brad Treliving must be looking forward to hockey season — to get a break.
Because the first-year general manager is marshalling the Calgary Flames through an awfully busy July.
He signed Joe Colborne on Tuesday.
Thursday, Joni Ortio was inked to a two-year deal.
In coming days, expect to see the remaining restricted free agents — forward Lance Bouma and defenceman Mark Cundari — under contract.
"You work away at it," said Treliving, "but they're never done until they're done."
(Signing blue-liner Chad Billins, bound for the KHL, is obviously not a priority. The Flames, thanks to an in-time qualifying offer, do retain his rights.) Hiring an assistant for Adirondack skipper Ryan Huska?
Soon, too.
"We're almost there," said Treliving. "We're comfortable that the guy we were looking to get . . . we're going to get him."
Getting a goalie coach for the Flames?
Any day now.
"Lots of talk and meeting and discussion," said Treliving, "but we're not there yet. I thought it would be done by now, but it's not. We're still working away at it."
Even hotshot centre Sam Bennett, drafted fourth overall last month in Philadelphia, may wind up putting pen to paper in the near future.
"I wouldn't say there's urgency, (but) we've had some discussions," said Treliving. "We are going to sign him — whether it's today or six months from today. But I suspect it's going to happen sooner rather than later.
"It's not brain surgery. In a lot of these cases, guys get slotted in (contract-wise), based on draft (position). We're going to have another discussion (later Thursday). Something could happen here shortly."
But the day's concrete news had been the signing of Ortio.
"We really think a lot of Joni," said Treliving. "This is a young player who took a real big step forward last year."
For Ortio, drafted in the 2009's ninth round, last winter was his first full season in North America.
And the 23-year-old had been busy.
The Finn appeared four times for the ECHL Alaska Aces (3-1-0, 1.01 goals-against average, .944 save percentage); 37 times for the American Hockey League's Abbotsford Heat (27-8-0, 2.33, .926); and nine times for the Flames (4-4-0, 2.51, .891).
In April, Flames boss Brian Burke had said that he envisions Ortio apprenticing in the AHL in 2014-15: "I don't want Ortio backing up. I want him playing somewhere."
Ortio's handiwork, however, had earned him a spot on the AHL's all-rookie team.
"(Progress) is always different for goaltenders," said Treliving. "He excelled at the American league level, played well in his stint here. So he was obviously a player we wanted to make sure we locked up. We think there's a lot of upside with Joni."
C-NOTES: All indications suggest that G Jonas Hiller, who suffered an appendicitis attack last week, is going to be fine. "The procedure nowadays . . . they can do it arthroscopically," said Treliving. "They're saying within nine to 12 days, you're up and back to normal. (Hiller's agent) felt by next week that he's right back in the swing of things. The hope and the plan and the expectation right now is that there's no long recovery period.

My girls started school about a month ago. Lilia's first day of 3rd grade, and Lacey's first day of Kindergarten. And I did take pictures. Not great ones, but well, they are what they are.
Lilia and Lacey chose their outfits this year (a first for mom... she usually does the back to school shopping herself. Lilia loved her outfit til she put it on at home. Then decided she didn't like it so much. Mean mom made her wear it anyway. I think she is cute no matter what.
A week after Lil's first day of school was Lacey's first day. And she was very excited.
Jury is still out as to whether school is fun or not for Lacey. Lilia is finally finding school to be difficult and not always fun, but she does still like it (most days). Mom isn't thrilled with school times. Lil is on A track and Lacey is on B track. Which means, Lil goes to school from 7:55am to 2:15pm, and Lacey goes from 9:10am to 12:08 pm. That would mean 4 drop off and pick up times. The reason being, Lil's gymnastics practice interferes with B track schooling (9:10 to 3:30) so she has to be A track, and they don't offer Kindergarten on the A track schedule... bummer deal, but it's only a year, right? I have found some other mom's in similar predicaments and we are carpooling the kids, so life is good. Looking forward to next year when both girls can be on the same track!

Mellow Monday
Of course I'm a little bit tired today because I stayed up late but it was well worth it. Mornings like this call for a little sweetness and lot of caffeine. The perfect way to ease into the week ahead.
How about all of you? How was your weekend? Did you watch the Oscars? What did you think?

It's a 3-day weekend here in Spain, so still chilling. I had to record the Oscars (because of time-zone differences), so will relax and watch it today. Really pleased Colin Firth did well. As a fellow Brit I always felt he was a little under-estimated.

I stayed up late, too, although just from nerves or whathaveyou. This morning I head out to hang a small photographic show of mine in a regional art center. I would love to be as elegant as that last picture as I sip my coffee.

COLUMBUS - The Columbus Crew has agreed to terms with defender/midfielder Agustín Viana as a Discovery Signing, the club announced Monday. Per Major League Soccer and club policy, details of the contract were not disclosed. The 29-year-old will be officially added to the club's roster pending receipt of his International Transfer Certificate (ITC).
A left-footed player capable of playing leftback or central midfield, Viana comes to Columbus from Uruguayan Primera División side Bella Vista. The American-born player started in all 15 of Bella Vista's matches during the 2012-13 Apertura, tallying two goals. Viana has plied his trade across Europe and South America, playing for Levadiakos in the Greek Super League, Gallipoli of the Italian Serie B, CFR Cluj of the Romanian Serie A, Atlético Mineiro of the Brazilian Serie A and Nacional Montevideo of the Uruguayan Primera División. Viana began his career with Bella Vista, making more than 50 appearances for the Montevideo-based club from 2001-05 before transferring to cross-town rival Nacional.
"Agustín is a player that brings versatility and experience to our lineup, and we're pleased to have finalized his signing," said Crew Technical Director Brian Bliss. "He's a box-to-box player that provides a lot of energy, and being able to play on the left side of defense or in central midfield gives us flexibility and depth at multiple positions. We look forward to getting him into training camp."
Viana holds dual citizenship in the United States and Uruguay and will not occupy an international roster slot. He is set to join the Crew immediately for preseason training in Bradenton, Fla. pending transfer approval. He is the second Crew signing from abroad in the past week following the recent acquisition of Brazilian centerback Gláuber.
Name: Agustín Viana
Position: Defender/Midfielder
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 165
Born: August 23, 1983 in Chicago, Ill.
Hometown: Montevideo, Uruguay

Gotham City's villains and lunatics don't have time to make their own clothes. They're too busy memorizing Lewis Carroll quotes or dreaming up deadly new gags. So when they need a new suit or a patch job, they head to their local tailor, a man who truly despises his job.
Artist Aitor Iñaki Eraña (TerminAitor on deviantART) sketched up a short comic Batman: The Tailor, revealing the torment felt by Harvey Dent's tailor, now unwilling seamster to all of Gotham's supervillains. It's a neat look at how Arkham's escapees affect ordinary folks living in Gotham City.

Republished from old post, 27 July 2007
I am here because the charming tiny village of Sirince, hidden in hills a few miles from the glorious ruins of the fabulous ancient city of Ephesus, was chosen by my old friend and co-author Ali Nesin as a site for his Mathematical Village, and because I volunteered to spend my vacation teaching a course in his Summer School.
So far Mathematical Village has just two completed huts and functions as a summer camp for Turkish undergraduate students who are prepared to pay for the privilege of spending their summer taking advanced courses in mathematics. In particular, I teach a crash course on reflection groups. I teach in English; other courses are given in Turkish or various combinations of English and Turkish.
Crucially, I have two dozen bright, highly motivated students who are prepared to learn something challenging and non-trivial just for the sake of learning, without marks or diploma. It is an experience that I have not had for ages. With all my respect to my students in Manchester — hardworking and intelligent people as they are– not many of them would be prepared to spend their summer taking intensive advanced courses which do not count against the final mark and degree classification.
But why Turkey? Why should I have to go to Turkey to find bright motivated students?
Mathematics is a proselytising cult; it exists only because of a constant influx of young people with a specific inclination for studying and doing mathematics. A potential to become a professional mathematician is a rare gift; young promising students of mathematics are rare, they appear unpredictably, their gift is very fragile and can be easily destroyed by insensitive and ignorant teachers. Without a constant influx of fresh talent, mathematics will die. I have already had chance to say on many occasions that the natural cycle of reproduction of mathematics in Britain is broken, and, perhaps, is broken irreparably.
It is the dynamic of social change that releases hidden talent in masses of people. Cultures and nations which contributed more than usual share to science, art, technology were frequently cultures undergoing progressive social development, or nations building their first nation state. To a mathematician, it would suffice to remind about the sudden emergence of the astonishing Polish mathematics school in the newly independent Poland after World War I.
But currently, no other country in Europe can be compared with Turkey in the sheer pace of social dynamics. The country has a tremendous drive for education. One has to see a shoe polish boy on a street of Istanbul, a boy aged about 10, who, every minute when he has no business, takes a worn out textbook from under his belt and tries to do his homework. University mathematics students come mostly from a secure middle class background, but they exhibit the same thirst for education. It is a truth universally acknowledged across the Turkey that education is good, that education improves quality of life. I do not idealise Turkey — the abandoned olive groves around Sirince is only one of many marks of rural decline. The political and social situation in the country is full of tension. However, what matters is that the social mobility of the society is strong enough to carry talent up the social ladder. What matters is that Mathematical Village is held in greatest respect by the villagers of Sirince. A middle-aged waiter in the roadside restaurant where I now type this post told me that he would be happy to get a job of a janitor in the Mathematical Village, even for less pay — because he wants to do work that counts.
And now I turn to the simile in the title of my post. When you search for a mathematical talent, what should be your strategy? The answer is simple — the same as in prospecting for gold: look for mountain streams that cut layers of granite and release and carry grains of gold. Gold is heavy, and the stream has to be sufficiently strong to carry heavy grains. Everyone heard the story of Jason, Argonauts and the Golden Fleece. I was told once that the theme of a Golden Fleece is linked to the ancient method of capturing gold by placing a fleece in a stream; apparently, grains of gold got stuck in the wool. I heard that this method was common in Caucasus and on the Black Sea coast of what is now Turkey.
This, I hope, explains why modern Turkey is one of the best places in the world if you are prospecting for mathematical talent. And, of course, Ali Nesin is THE expert in the geology of mathematical gold. It is worth mentioning that he edits a Turkish mathematical journal Matematik Dünyası for schoolchildren, one of the few journals of that kind in the world which have sufficient circulation to make commercial profit. I cannot read Turkish, but I can decipher mathematical formulae and can attest with full confidence that his journal is of highest mathematical quality. Britain has population comparable with that of Turkey, but amagazine like Matematik Dünyası is commercially unfeasible in Britain — and this is the principal diference between the mathematics education cultures of the two countries.
A few more words about Mathematical Village are due. As I have already mentioned, it currently consists of a couple of permanent buildings, a lecture shed and a dormitory — Iyou will find some photographs in my later post — and a few portacabins, soon to be demolished. Turkish baths are in the process of intensive construction. By next summer this patch of abandoned farmland will have seven buildings and a small swimming pool. All construction is done strictly by traditional methods – wood, stone, and mud (and some marble for the interior of Turkish baths). AliNesin plans to plant some fast growing trees for shade and rejuvenate the exhausted olive trees. The Mathematical Village will provide excellent conference facilities for small conferences and workshops, up to 40 or 50 people. The village of Siringeprovides a range of charming boutique hotels (their existence there is a separate story, see, for example, an article in NYT) and inexpensive restaurants with simple but excellent food (if you come to Sirince, I would suggest you to try some gozleme; I specifically recommend minced meat gozleme in Ozlem, an unpretentious eatery a couple of houses away from the mosque). The last but not least, Sirince is famous for its fruit wines, surprisingly subtle and refined. Of all mathematics centers that I have seen around the world (and I visited quite a few – immediately after Sirince I will go to Oberwolfach on my tenth, perhaps, visit there), Mathematical Village at Sirince promises to be the most charming, friendly and conducive for research.

Pegged to the start of the NCAA basketball tournament, the NBC Political Unit has launched "Senate Madness" – our online contest pitting history's most consequential U.S. senators against one another. To assemble our list of 64-plus senators, we reached out to historians, as well as fellow political observers and analysts.
The exercise isn't based on popularity; rather, it's based on consequence. These are the senators who shaped U.S. history, whose names are affixed to important legislation and Senate buildings, and whose influence and legacy lives on. Some of these names were on the wrong side of history on major issues facing the country. After all, just as American history is complicated, so too is the history of the U.S. Senate. Note: Current senators aren't eligible to make our list.
The Daily Rundown's Chuck Todd and NBC's Domenico Montanaro talk about the NBC First Read Senate March Madness.
The interactive contest works just like an NCAA tournament bracket. Over the next few weeks, you get to vote on each match up between individual senators, and the winners advance. Our brackets are divided into different eras: 19th Century, 20th Century, Modern Day (relatively), and All of the Above (a grab-bag from different eras).
Here are the results of Thursday's contests: In the 19th Century bracket, Charles Sumner and James Buchanan advanced while in the 20th Century bracket, John Stennis upset Barry Goldwater, and Mike Mansfield beat Claude Pepper. In the Modern Era, Jesse Helms and Joe Biden moved on and in the Mixed Era, Scoop Jackson and William Borah advanced.
The first round has concluded and the second round begins next Monday with some intriguing match ups: #5 Sam Houston vs. #4 Stephen Douglas (19th Century); #10 William Fulbright vs. #2 Everett Dirksen (20th Century); #1 Ted Kennedy vs. #8 Robert Byrd and Joe Biden #11 vs. #3 Jesse Helms (Modern Era); and #7 Arthur Vandenberg vs. #2 Henry Cabot Lodge (Mixed Era)

MARIETTA, GA (WGCL/CNN) - A Georgia man was followed by a woman, then questioned by police while he was babysitting two children.
It appeared the woman was concerned because the children were white and their babysitter was black.
"This lady over here, she's following me," said Corey Lewis on a Facebook Live video.
As soon as Lewis noticed the white woman watching him and the two kids he was babysitting, he started recording.
"All because I've got two kids in the back seat that do not look like me," Lewis said in the video. "This lady has took it upon herself to say that she's going to take my plate down and call the police."
Lewis explained what happened next.
"We then left to go get gas across the street at the gas station. She moved closer to the gas station and waited there," he said.
Not knowing who the woman was or what she's capable of, Lewis took the children back to his house. The woman followed them there and the police showed up.
"You mind if I talk to them?" an officer asked.
"That's crazy," Lewis responded in the video.
The officer questioned the 10-year-old and the 6-year-old before calling their parents.
David Parker and Dana Mango, the children's parents, were in disbelief.
"Are you saying that because there's an African-American male driving my two white kids, that he was stopped and pulled over and questioned?" Mango said. "And he said 'I'm sorry ma'am.' That's exactly what I'm saying."
The East Cobb County, GA, couple had arranged for Lewis to babysit weeks ago.
Their son attends his youth mentor program and he is a friend of the family.
They believe Lewis was stalked, harassed and questioned by police.
"For BWB which is I guess the new thing babysitting while black," Parker said.
The woman who made the call to police has not been identified.
The children's parents are questioning the woman's motive because they say the children didn't show any signs of being in danger.

Well I bought Lego Pirates of the Carribean for the Wii. yesterday
I also have Lego -SW saga-SW clone wars- batman, indiana jones and indy 2.it was getting a tad repetitive. but when i heard Lego had the rights to do pirates of the Caribbean .. and there was going to be a game aswell ...it was a must have for me.
Well I started playing it and it was good fun.. and then it got to the Isla de Muerta level. [thats where Jack sparrow and Barbossa fight as skeletons..end of first movie] Isla de Muerta fighting in a room full of gold Lego parts.. what did i see.. there was a gold sarcophagus..adventurers/pharoahs line.. you could pick up the atlantis trident as a weapon and wear Luminari Undulis headdress from Starwars... . You could also wear the rock skull piece from the pirates line.... or you could choose to wear Rascus's helmet from the KK2 line or a Batlord helmet!!
I made Will Turner wear the Rascus helmet to hide his ugly face lol.. and Jack Sparrow in the Batlord helm beat Barbossa lol
Skeleton Batlord Jack vs Skeleton Barbossa how could he lose? lol
These games are definitely made by Lego fans.
I'm only part way through the game. But if i find any more castley goodness I'll let you know lol
now can we have that Lego donkey?? he looks so good on screen

It's been a couple of weeks since I shared information about North Woods Law, and readers have been after me to give them more, more, MORE about their favorite reality series.
(If you've been living in a cave in Wytopitlock and don't know what "North Woods Law" is, here's a quick rundown: It's a TV show, produced by Engel Entertainment for Animal Planet. It features Maine game wardens going about their daily work. The series began last year with a six-episode run, and will return on Jan. 31 for a 10-show second season.)
I had updated you on Animal Planet's plans, which included bumping the "North Woods Law" debut ahead a week. But NWL fans are ravenous when it comes to information about their show, and its "stars."
With that in mind, here's the complete "North Woods Law" schedule (subject to change):
- Thursday, Jan. 31, 10 p.m.: Episode 107 (Season premiere)
- Thursday, Feb. 7, 10 p.m.: Episode 108
- Thursday, Feb. 14: It's Valentine's Day. No North Woods Law today. For heaven's sake, take your sweetie out to dinner and stop watching reality TV for a day! If you don't have a sweetie, go sharpen your fish hooks or neaten up the garage. (My words, not an official statement from Engel Entertainment or Animal Planet)
- Thursday, Feb. 21, 10 p.m.: Episode 109. Welcome back from Valentine's Day! I hope everything went well with your sweetie … or your fish hooks … or your garage.
- Thursday, Feb. 28, 10 p.m.: Episode 110.
- Thursday, March 7, 10 p.m.: Episode 111.
- Thursday, March 14, 10 p.m.: Episode 112.
- Thursday (do you see the pattern yet), March 21, 10 p.m.: Episode 113.
- Thursday, (yes, the show airs each Thursday!) March 28, 10 p.m.: Episode 114.
- Thursday, April 4, 10 p.m.: Episode 115.
- Thursday, April 11, 10 p.m.: Episode 116
Oh. One more thing. Our search metrics have determined that one particular warden is VERY popular with many fans of the show, and the mere mention of his name in a blog is very good for the cyber-newspaper business. So in hopes of cashing in on Google searches from around the globe, I'll sign off today's blog with two words: Kris MacCabe. (This is the point at which the blog goes viral … I've been down this road before).

Meals on Wheels drivers help seniors during cold
The frigid temperatures didn't keep seniors from getting a nice warm meal.
Drivers for the program Meals on Wheels bundled up to brave the elements and deliver food to seniors in Milwaukee County.
WISN 12 News went along on one delivery route Tuesday.
Drivers said it's more than just about delivering food; they can also check on the well-being of clients.
"They've gone in and seen where a person's gas has been cut off, and it's just pure cold in there in their homes, and they've had to contact our office and then our office can contact the proper people for them," Meals on Wheels driver Joseph Williams said.
"It's very cold, and I think for them to have that kind of compassion and that type of sympathy to go in and out of the home to be a blessing," Meals on Wheels recipient Juanita Edwards said.
Forty-six drivers in Goodwill's Meals on Wheels program deliver 1,000 meals to Milwaukee County seniors every weekday.


text: "We made machines for the masses," said Jack Tramiel, the founder of the company that gave the world the Commodore 64. Then he nodded to the man sitting beside him, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak. "They made machines for the classes." The year was 2007, and Tramiel was on stage at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California, celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Commodore 64, a machine that debuted in August 1982 with a price tag of $595 and was soon selling for a mere $199. That made it several hundred dollars cheaper than the Apple II offered by Wozniak and fellow Apple man Steve Jobs — not to mention the IBM PC — and according to Tramiel, Commodore sold nearly half a million machines a month before he left the company in 1984. All told, Tramiel said that night, somewhere between 22 million and 30 million Commodore 64s were sold, which likely makes it the best-selling home computer of all time. "We sold half that many," said ex-IBM exec William Love, referring to the original IBM PC. Tramiel passed away this past April at the age of 83, and though he may not have been a household name, the Commodore 64 certainly was. He was just one of several tech titans who died over the past year. None had the name recognition of a Steve Jobs -- who passed in 2011 -- but they may have moved our world in bigger ways. Among those that passed in 2012 are the IBMer who invented the bar code and the Zenith engineer who devised the first wireless TV remote -- not to mention one of the physicist who helped build the atom bomb dropped on Nagasaki. Click on the images above to remember them all. Above: Jack Tramiel, Founder of Commodore Computers Jack Tramiel was born to a Jewish family in Poland in 1928, and during the war, he was sent to Auschwitz, before he was moved with his father to a labor camp in Germany. He was freed in 1945 and emigrated to the States two years later, and in the mid-1950's, he founded a business called Commodore. At first, it dealt in typewriters, but then it moved to adding machines, calculators, and, yes, home computers. After he was forced out of Commodore in 1984, Tramiel bought the consumer division of game outfit Atari and reformed it as Atari Corporation, which he ran until the end of the decade. Photo: Sal Veder / APEugene Polly, Inventor of the Wireless TV Remote He's been called the patron saint of couch potatoes. In 1955, while working for TV maker Zenith Electronics, Eugene Polly created the first wireless TV remote control. It was called the Flash-Matic, and it looked like one of those toy ray guns your 4-year-old plays with. But it was a seriously useful piece of technology. You could point it at your TV and change the channel without getting up and walking across the room. Yes, TV remotes pre-dated the Flash-Matic. But they required a wire that ran to the TV. With Polley's creation, you could change the channel from almost anywhere in the room, and we all know how important that is to our daily lives. Polly died this year at the age of 96. At Zenith, he also helped develop the push-button car radio and the video disk, a pre-DVD home movie technology. But it's the Flash-Matic that won him sainthood. Photo: APBill Moggridge, Creator of the First Folding Laptop Computer The GRiD Compass was the world's first true laptop computer — the first to open up like a clam shell — and it was designed by Bill Moggridge, who died this year at the age of 69. He was born in London, but eventually emigrated to the United States, where he ran a Silicon Valley design ship that collaborated with early home computer makers such as Apple and GRiD Systems. The GRiD Compass sold for a whopping $8,150, but at 11 pounds, it was light — so light it could be used on the Space Shuttle and during the U.S. invasion of Grenada. That's heavy by modern standards, but today's laptops continue to use the same basic case design cooked up by Moggridge in the late '70s. Photo: dotx3/FlickrStanford Ovshinsky, Self-Educated Inventor Who Created Amorphous Silicon Semiconductors In 1968, self-taught inventor Stanford Ovshinsky held a press conference to announce the creation of a new type of transistor using a principle he called Ovonics — after himself. He dubbed it a glass transistor and said it would allow for computers that could fit on a desk and televisions that could hang on walls. Many painted him as a nutcase. He had dropped out of high school and lacked a university degree. But he was right. Ovshinsky's new type of electrical building block — the amorphous silicon semiconductor — provided a much cheaper way to create all sorts of devices, and his ideas laid the ground for everything from solar cells to flat-panel displays to the rechargeable nickel-metal hydride batteries used through the '80s and '90s. Ovshinsky died in October, at the age of 89. The company he ran for many years, Energy Conversion Devices, or ECD, was never much of a success. But he was vindicated. Photo: joi/FlickrJoe Woodland, Inventor of the Bar Code Joe Woodland — who died this month at the age of 91 — invented the bar code in the late 1940s, and after joining IBM, he would help Big Blue push the code into supermarkets, not to mention the popular consciousness. Today, an estimated 5 billion bar codes are scanned each day, and it all started when Woodland drew some lines in the sand while staying with his grandparents on Miami Beach. Photo: IBMWillis Whitfield, Inventor of the Clean Room Willis Whitfield created the "clean room," finding a way to remove microscopic particles from the air -- including dirt and germs -- so that they wouldn't harm the production of electronic devices. Whitfield developed the idea as a researcher with Sandia National Laboratories in New Mexico, and it would prove essential to the creation of microchips and other silicon-based devices in the decades to come. He died earlier this month at the age of 92. Photo: nnsanews/FlickrErnest Kaye, One of the Engineers Behind the First Business Computer Ernest Kaye — who died in May at the age of 89 — was the last surviving member of the team that built the world's first business computer: the Lyons Electronic Office, or LEO. During the war, Kaye had worked on homing torpedoes, and in 1949, he answered an advertisement seeking electrical engineers. As it turns out, the ad was placed by Britain's Joe Lyons tea shops and catering company, which wanted to build a machine to help run its business. Kaye (second from left, middle row, in the photo above) helped design the circuit boards that went into the LEO, which was based on the EDSAC computer developed at Cambridge University. In 1951, the LEO ran its first real job — and the first business job of any computer. It handled Lyons' bakery valuation. Photo: Leo ComputersRobert Christy, Manhattan Project Physicist Robert Christy designed a key component of the first nuclear device ever detonated. The "Christy Gadget" was also part of "Fat Man," the atom bomb that was dropped on Nagasaki in 1945. During the war, at Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, the Manhattan Project developed two types of nuclear device. The first used uranium. Basically, it operated by firing one piece of uranium into another — known as the "gun-type" method. The second was based on plutonium, and it couldn't use the gun-type method because the plutonium would "fizzle out" before detonation. The solution was the Christy Gadget, a sphere that would implode the plutonium — i.e., compress it into a supercritical mass. This method was used during the first nuclear detonation on July 16, 1945 in New Mexico — though the uranium gun-type method was used with the "Little Boy" bomb dropped on Hiroshima, three days before Fat Man destroyed Nagasaki. Christy — who died in October at the age of 95 — was later part of the Physics faculty at the University of Chicago and, most prominently, the California Institute of Technology.

He asked another member of his cardiology team, Geoff Davies, to build a device that could provide such stimulation, and the result was the first pacemaker. The team's initial device operated from outside the bottom, at high voltage, but they eventually produced a pacemaker that could be slipped into the wall of the heart via surgery. Two years ago, Aubrey Leatham received a pacemaker of his own. He died this past August, at the age of 89. Photo: Martin Hunter / British Heart Foundation
