Onteora's Emily Waligurski will run at Yale (video)
KINGSTON, N.Y. — Onteora High's Emily Waligurski literally had her dream come true when it came down to choosing a college.
The Indians' senior recently committed to and was accepted at Yale University for the fall, where she will participate in cross country, indoor track and outdoor track.
"It was a very hard process and I talked to a lot of great coaches and schools," Waligurski said. "I was choosing by academics and athletics, with running and biology, and in the end, I applied for early action at Yale and got accepted. It was a perfect fit for me and I got into the school of my dreams."
Waligurski was courted by a number of NCAA Division I schools, but chose Yale, an Ivy League school that does not offer academic or athletic scholarships.
ANNUAL tuition, room and board at Yale is about $58,000.
"I was able to get financial assistance that will basically end up costing me as much as it would have to attend a state school," Waligurski said. "It was close with a number of other schools, but it really came down to the school program and the coaches. I think going to Yale will definitely open a lot of doors for me in the future."
Waligurski said she has had contact with Bulldogs coach Amy Gosztyla and also met some of her future team members while visiting the Yale campus in New Haven, Conn.
She plans to run in the 800 meters, 1500 and 3000.
"Yes, I've spoken to the coach, but haven't gotten any instructions from her yet," Waligurski said. "The team does everything as a whole group. They are an inclusive group, hang out together and really push each other to run better times. It's a good feeling to be on a team that is this close." Continued...
Waligurski has been one of the top local scholastic runners in both track and cross country over the past four years.
She is a three-time state champion, having won Division II (Small School) outdoor track titles in the girls 800, 1500 and 3000, as well as a state runner-up finish in the 1500.
She owns Mid-Hudson Athletic League records in the 800, 1500 and as part of the 4x800 relay, has captured eight individual league championships and six Section 9, Class B titles, along with six school records.
In cross country, Waligurski is a three-time state medalist, two-time Section 9, Class B champion and a two-time MHAL individual champion.
SHE HAS 12 school records in indoor track, has won three state medals, seven Section 9 championships and two Orange County Interscholastic Athletic Association titles.
Waligurski also is a three-time qualifier for the New Balance Indoor Nationals and had a career-best third-place finish in the freshman mile at that event.
"I've been very fortunate to be part of a high school team with great coaches and wonderful teammates," she said. "I've always felt supported at Onteora and I'm really looking forward to my senior year."
Waligurski said her main focus during spring track will be to shave time in her events.
"I'm really looking to bring down my times," she said. "I'd also like to get back to states and get one last medal."
SHE ADDED that her health is good after being hobbled by some knee issues last year. Continued...
"I haven't had any problems with injuries and I'm totally healthy," Waligurski said. "I'm taking care of myself and doing what I am supposed to so that I won't get injured."
Waligurski said her high school sports experience has prepared her to excel at the next level.
"I've definitely learned that success comes from lots of hard work," she said. "Yale is going to give me a lot of opportunities to find my niche (with academics and athletics). It's an experience I'm going to love."

Oklahoma State basketball: Cowboys can still win Big 12 championship
After tough overtime loss to Kansas, Oklahoma State has to move on and beat West Virginia

An urgency to get back to winning the Big 12 basketball championship.
Yes, the double-overtime, 68-67 loss to Kansas was a blow to such hopes, leaving the Cowboys a full game behind the Jayhawks and Kansas State with five games to play in the regular season.
But a death blow it was not.
"Is it too late?" Markel Brown fired back at reporters assessing Wednesday's damage. "We're still going to go into practice and fight for the No. 1 spot.
"It's not too late."
Late, yes. But too late?
Not yet.
The Cowboys stand 9-4 in the Big 12, trailing KU and K-State at 10-3.
OSU's closing schedule is favorable, although a trip to Iowa State on March 6 rates as a stiff challenge. The Cowboys also visit West Virginia on Saturday and TCU on Wednesday, with home games against Texas and K-State.
Kansas must go to Ames, too, as well as to Baylor, but also will be heavily favored at home against TCU, West Virginia and Texas Tech.
The Wildcats get Texas Tech and TCU at home, yet face road tests at Texas, Baylor and OSU.
Clearly, the Cowboys need help. And they can't afford any slip-ups.
Beginning Saturday.
The Mountaineers are just 6-7 in the league and haven't beaten any of the Big 12's top six teams. They have, however, come close, losing by one at home to Kansas State, two at Iowa State and five at home to Kansas.
This is a delicate time for OSU, coming off an emotional five-day span that included two physical battles — a Bedlam win and a bitter KU defeat — the end of a seven-game winning streak and a combined three overtime periods.

Hi there,
to keep things simple I would like to know if there is a little open source servlet engine out there. I am looking for something similar to ServletRunner from the early days. Servlet Runner was shipped along with the servlet libs by Sun. It was a stand alone application, simple and lightweight. It could be debugged and profiled like a normal application.
I don't like remote debugging and profiling, you know. Also it would ease the acceptence tests since no Cactus or something similar would be required.
Question: Does some knows a small servlet engine?
Requirements: Need a servlet engine to run a couple of servlets (Velocity, Spring, Custom Servlets) , no JSP, no JNDI etc needed.

Why The Video Looks Shaky (Don Ward)
Updated: 7:06 PM - We did a quick helicopter tour of the Black Forest burn area. Someone asked why the video looks shaky.
Authorities investigating the disappearance of a 10-year-old Colorado girl are looking into whether it could be linked to the abduction of a girl in Wyoming.
Police in the Denver suburb of Westminster say they're aware of the case in Cody, Wyoming.
A man lured an 11-year-old Cody girl into a SUV on Monday saying he needed help finding his dog. She was released about four hours later and found by hunters.
Jessica Ridgeway of Westminster has been missing since Friday, when she left home to meet friends at a park for the walk to school. The fifth grader never turned up at school.
"Obviously the team here is in direct conversations with those working the incident in Cody," said police spokesperson Trevor Materasso during a news conference Wednesday afternoon. "We're sharing information to try to identify any similarities and those things, but we're not making the connection at this time."
11 News also checked with local authorities Wednesday about a crime similar to the one reported in Wyoming.
In June, a little girl who was playing outside her home in the Stratmoor Valley area was grabbed and forced into a blue 4-door car. She was released a mile and a half away about 20 minutes later.
The man involved hasn't been found.
A spokesperson from the El Paso County Sheriff's Office told 11 News their investigation into that case is ongoing, but said they don't believe it's linked to the search for Jessica or the case in Wyoming.

Comparative Analysis
The 2013 Federal Budget has been framed around the much publicised reduction in revenue and 'soft' economic conditions, but after releasing most of the big changes in the past few weeks, the Treasurer didn't have much left to announce in his Budget speech to the Parliament.
Wayne Swan delivered a 'sober' budget in the face of an expected revenue shortfall of $60 billion over the four years to 2015-16 and at the same time having to fund billions on the Gillard Government's spending commitments such as the National Disability Insurance Scheme ($14.9 billion over seven years) and the Gonski school reforms ($9.8 billion over six years).
The Budget outlines some measures to address structural issues in the economy, focussing largely on the revenue side, including: An increase in the Medicare Levy from 1.5% to 2% to help fund the National Disability Insurance Scheme Abolition of the Baby Bonus and introduction of new family payment arrangements Deferral of the planned 2015-16 income tax cuts indefinitely Measures designed to prevent multinational companies from shifting profits out of Australia Closing corporate tax loopholes and concessions Withholding tax introduced for capital gains made by foreign residents It is important to note that given that there are very few Parliamentary sitting weeks until the September 14 election date, it is unlikely that many of the budget measures will be legislated (with the exception of the increase in the Medicare Levy).
Fiscal Outcome
Reneging on last year's promise to return the budget to surplus, Mr Swan announced a deficit of $18 billion in 2013-14 although he 'charted a pathway to surplus' over the forward estimates predicting a return to a small surplus of $800 million in 2015-16.
Economic Outlook
The Government has revised down growth in the Australian economy from 3% in 2013-14 to 2.75% and 3% in 2104-15. Unemployment is expected to rise to around 5.75% by mid-2014 and inflation is forecast to remain well within the Reserve Bank of Australia's 2-3% target band over the forward estimate period.
Many economists are predicting another 25 basis points rate cut, and possibly even another cut this year, if there is further deterioration in labour market conditions. Market reaction to the Budget was negative with the Australian dollar quickly falling ½ cent to under $0.9950 mostly due to the forecast string of deficits.

Boyce is celebrating not one, but two milestone anniversaries this year. It is 40 years since the firm was first established in 1973 by the legendary Michael Boyce and ten years since it 'set up shop' in Wagga Wagga.
The firm's proud history of rural practice began in the Monaro region of New South Wales with the establishment of an office in Cooma in July 1973. Today Boyce has five offices located in major regional centres across NSW and a staff of more than 140 – making it the largest independent accounting practice in regional Australia.
The Wagga Wagga branch of the firm was opened on 31 March 2003 under the leadership of director Simon Sellars.
"We leased the historic ANZ bank building on the corner of Fitzmaurice and Johnston Streets and opened for business in a city which we believed offered fantastic opportunities for us to meet the region's growing need for management accounting services," Simon said.
He admits that the timing may not have been ideal as much of the State was in the middle of one of the longest droughts in more than 100 years.
"We accepted the challenge though, and looking back it seems to have paid dividends as the farmers and local businesses really needed the type of accounting services we were offering to help them remain viable and come through what were for many, desperate times."
The type of services Simon is referring to are more than just the normal compliance accounting services. Boyce specialises in providing management accounting and business advisory services to assist clients to closely monitor the performance of their business and understand their true financial position.
"Our approach ensures that our clients know at any time how their business is travelling and can make strategic and insightful business decisions around this information."
Initially many of the firm's clients were farmers and agribusinesses, but over the past ten years this has expanded to now include retail and wholesale businesses, professional firms, construction and medical services. In pure numbers the business has achieved a compounded growth rate of 10% per annum since 1 July 2004. Gradual consistent growth is important as it allows the firm to develop its most important asset - its people - whilst delivering first class service to its existing and new clients.
Soon after establishment of the Wagga Wagga office, Simon was joined by former Moree colleague Linda Mackellar. Linda quickly became an integral part of the Boyce Wagga Wagga leadership team and was appointed as a director of the firm in July 2007 at the age of just 28 years.
In October 2008, signalling a firm commitment to the city and to the Riverina, Boyce purchased the graceful 120 year old building from which it operates in Wagga Wagga.
"It is part of the culture and philosophy of the firm that we invest in the towns in which we do business," explained Linda.
"We are very proud to own such a significant building and it is our intention to continue to respect the integrity of the structure and ensure that it is well maintained so that it can serve as an office building for another 120 years at least."
Linda likened this guardianship attitude to the building to the general philosophy of the firm, a philosophy that is very much focussed toward care for clients. In their ten years in the region, the Boyce team has built an enduring reputation for combining knowledge, insight and experience with personalised country service.
Boyce was ranked in the Top 40 of the BRW 2012 Survey of Accounting Firms and is recognised as offering a level of professionalism that many would expect to find only in the larger metropolitan-based firms.
"As directors we, and our team, live and work in the region, so we are very intent on ensuring we help to keep the local business community strong," Linda said.
"We are also very aware of our role in the general community so as a firm and individually we are involved in many different aspects of life in Wagga Wagga and the surrounding areas."
Due to its scale, Boyce offers specialist divisions of knowledge to assist and advise clients in areas such as family reorganisations, benchmarking, business planning, superannuation strategy advice and compliance, estate planning and complex tax advice.
In 2008 the firm established a financial advisory division, the head-office of which is located in Wagga Wagga.
Director of Boyce Financial Services, Lindsay Garnock, admitted that again the timing was not great as the global financial crisis hit at precisely the time this new business was launched
Despite this Lindsay says the business has gone from strength to strength. He attributes this to a business model that from the very start offered clients "fee for service" rather than the commission based models used by many in the industry at that time.
"We were at the forefront in terms of reforms being implemented in the industry – the requirement to act inherently in the best interest of the client is a value that underpins our business."
The Boyce directors are rightly proud of a firm with such a long history, and extraordinarily pleased with the growth and development of the Wagga Wagga branch.
"We have a great team of people, we work with some of the best businesses in the country, we live in one of the most beautiful inland cities in Australia in a diverse and thriving region," said Simon.
"We couldn't ask for anything more."
Those with more than around $2 million in superannuation will lose some tax concessions under changes to the superannuation system announced today by Treasurer Wayne Swan.
Included in a raft of measures detailed by the Treasurer, a tax exemption on superannuation earnings supporting pensions and annuities will be capped at $100,000, and anything above that level taxed at a rate of 15 per cent.
Reforming the tax exemption for earnings on superannuation assets supporting income streams
Under current arrangements, all earnings on assets supporting income streams (superannuation pensions and annuities) are tax-free, in contrast to earnings in the accumulation phase of superannuation, which are taxed at 15 per cent.
From 1 July 2014 earnings (such as dividends and interest) on assets supporting income streams will be tax free up to $100,000 a year. Earnings above $100,000 will be taxed at the same concessional rate of 15 per cent that applies to earnings in the accumulation phase.
The $100,000 threshold will be indexed to the Consumer Price Index (CPI), and will increase in $10,000 increments. Assuming a conservative estimated rate of return of 5 per cent, earnings of $100,000 would be derived from individuals with around $2 million in superannuation.
Special arrangements will apply for capital gains on assets purchased before 1 July 2014: For assets that were purchased before 5 April 2013, the reform will only apply to capital gains that accrue after 1 July 2024; For assets that are purchased from 5 April 2013 to 30 June 2014, individuals will have the choice of applying the reform to the entire capital gain, or only that part that accrues after 1 July 2014; and For assets that are purchased from 1 July 2014, the reform will apply to the entire capital gain.
The transitional arrangements mean people who have already purchased superannuation assets will have ten years to decide whether they want to restructure their superannuation holdings, before their capital gains start to be affected.
This reform will not affect the tax treatment of withdrawals. Withdrawals will continue to remain tax-free for those aged 60 and over, and face the existing tax rates for those aged under 60.
Members of defined benefit funds, including federal politicians, will be impacted by this reform in the same way as members of defined contribution funds (i.e. that there will be a corresponding decrease in concessions in the retirement phase).
Increase to the concessional contributions cap
The Government will increase the concessional cap to $35,000 for anyone who meets certain age requirements.
The start date for the new higher cap will be 1 July 2013 for people aged 60 and over. Individuals aged 50 and over will be able to access the higher cap from the current planned start date of 1 July 2014.
The Government has decided not to limit the new higher cap to individuals with superannuation balances below $500,000 in light of feedback from the superannuation sector that this requirement would be difficult to administer.
Reforming the treatment of concessional contributions in excess of the annual cap
Under the current arrangements, concessional contributions that are in excess of the annual cap are effectively taxed at the top marginal tax rate (46.5 per cent) rather than the normal rate of 15 per cent. This outcome is achieved through the imposition of Excess Contributions Tax. This is a severe penalty for individuals with income below the top marginal tax rate.
The Government will allow all individuals to withdraw any excess concessional contributions made from 1 July 2013 from their superannuation fund. In addition, the Government will tax excess concessional contributions at the individual's marginal tax rate, plus an interest charge to recognise that the tax on excess contributions is collected later than normal income tax.
These rules will ensure that individuals are taxed on excess concessional contributions in the same way as if they had received that money as salary or wages and had chosen to make a non-concessional contribution.
Further changes announced today, include:
Extending the normal deeming rules for government pensions to superannuation account-based income streams;
Extending concessional tax treatment to deferred lifetime annuities; and
Further reform to the arrangements for lost superannuation.
Mr Swan did not commit to legislate all of the changes announced today by the time the Parliament rises ahead of the September 14 election.

Red Desert (Il deserto rosso) [DVD]
Director : Michelangelo Antonioni
Screenplay : Michelangelo Antonioni & Tonino Guerro
MPAA Rating : NR
Year of Release : 1964
Stars : Monica Vitti (Giuliana), Richard Harris (Corrado Zeller), Carlo Chionetti (Ugo), Xenia Valderi (Linda), Rita Renoir (Emilia), Lili Rheims (Telescope operator's wife), Aldo Grotti (Max), Valerio Bartoleschi (Giuliana's son), Emanuela Paola Carboni (Girl in fable)
In an article Michelangelo Antonioni wrote in the late 1940s, he imagined a fictional situation in which an Italian director (obviously his stand-in) approached the Hollywood mogul Samuel Goldwyn about making a color film that "doesn't have fixed colors." "So you see, Mr. Goldwyn," Antonioni wrote, "wide horizons open up for a director who has understood that the law of beauty doesn't lie in the truth of nature. I am one of those directors. I am a colorist director. Will you let me make a film?" The fictional incident ends with Mr. Goldwyn showing the Italian director the door, a gestural symbol of Hollywood's general closed-mindedness when it comes to experimentation with the cinematic medium.
At that time, Antonioni was a critic, but he would soon direct his first feature film, and by the mid-1960s he was a legendary figure in the art cinema world, having garnered both acclaim and derision for this "alienation trilogy": L'Avventura (1960), La notte (1961), and L'Ecclise (1962). Yet, despite his early interest experimentation with color, he did not make a color film until his ninth feature, 1964's Red Desert (Il deserto rosso), which followed the alienation trilogy and immediately preceded his scandalous English-language hit Blow-up (1966). At the time, the majority of European films were still being made in black and white (as were many American films), so Antonioni's decision to shoot in color was something of a provocation in and of itself.
Like his previous films, Red Desert is a conundrum; methodical in its meandering and almost maddeningly slow-moving, its lack of narrative interest despite clear-cut psychological characters and a central love triangle almost insists that you focus on it as a purely audio-visual experience (the great Russian filmmaker Andrei Tarkovksy decried Red Desert as one of Antonioni's worst films for this very reason--he "got high on pictorial aesthetics" at the expense of story, theme, and feeling). Not only does Antonioni experiment with color in the film, casting large swaths of celluloid in unnatural, desaturated tones (achieved with both filters and literally painting physical objects), but he also plays with the film's soundtrack, deploying a discordant, echoing electronic score that puts you on edge during the blurry opening credits sequence and maintains a sense of disharmony and unease throughout the entire film.
One of Antonioni's strengths as a filmmaker has always been his ability to convey a powerful sense of location, often at the expense of characters who are literally dwarfed by their surroundings; even if you don't remember the story in L'Avventura, you can't forget the craggy beauty of the rock island on which the protagonists find themselves, and no one who has seen it can forget the montage of empty urban spaces that ends L'Ecclise or the evocation of swinging London in Blow-up. In this respect, then, Red Desert may be his true masterpiece, as it makes viscerally palpable the rise of the petrochemical industry in Italy in the 1950s, with its massive cooling towers, jumbles of iron pipes, and enormous steel buildings that house complex refining machines and employ hundreds of anonymous workers who constituted a new working class in postwar Italy.
The opening shots over which the credits fade in and out are out of focus, giving us an abstract sense of modern industrialization before coming into sudden, shocking focus with a shot of a tower belching flames into the sky that is followed by a shot of a petrochemical plant pouring steam and smoke into an already colorless sky. Antonioni and cinematographer Carlo Di Palma (who would become favorite of Woody Allen's in the 1980s and early 1990s) paint a dispiriting portrait of industrial toxicity, with the surrounding landscape not just dominated by the petrochemical plant, but literally poisoned by it, with everything (including the trees and grass) reduced to the same sooty ash-gray. It is as damning a portrayal of environmental ruin as anything ever committed to film, yet Antonioni curiously denied that Red Desert had a socio-political agenda, insisting instead that he was simply documenting in his own artistically heightened way the rise of industrialization (he even said in one interview with Cahiers du cinema that he wanted to depict the "beauty" of the factories).
It is within this world of black and gray that we are introduced to the film's protagonists: Giuliana (Monica Vitti), the wife of the plant's chief engineer Ugo (Carlo Chionetti), and a petrochemical engineer named Corrado Zeller (Richard Harris, dubbed and cast against type as a man of great sensitivity) who is trying to recruit workers to go to South America to start up a refinery in Patagonia. Giuliana is the film's protagonist, and it is her psychological complexities that the film slowly probes, eventually revealing that she suffers from various anxiety disorders following an incident several months earlier. Her rattled psychological state and inability to truly connect with her husband or child (Valerio Bartoleschi) is a typical theme in Antonioni's work, suggesting that he is a prime example of Jean Renoir's contention that great directors make the same film over and over again. By setting the story against the backdrop of industrialization and pollution, Antonioni encourages us to see a connection between interior and exterior, with the contaminated industrial wasteland of the film's opening moments suggesting a visual literalization of Giuliana's damaged emotional state. The fact that Antonioni continually stages scenes in empty streets, depressingly antiseptic rooms, and various industrial sites only confirms this, as does his major stylistic break when he shows us breathtakingly beautiful images of an idyllic island as Giuliana tells her son a symbol-laden story about a young girl (Emanuela Paola Carboni).
As with all of Antonioni's films, Red Desert is a challenging, provocative experience, one that does not necessarily reward on first viewing beyond its powerful visual nature and unconventional marriage of sound and image. The characters are understandable, if not particularly compelling, and its various narrative detours and apparent lack of focus can make for frustrating viewing if you're not open to his unorthodox methods. Yet, for those who are familiar with Antonioni's cinema and for those who are willing to explore those "wide horizons" to which Antonino alluded in his story about Samuel Goldwyn, Red Desert is a multi-layered treasure that offers much, but never easily. It is, as Stanley Kauffman wrote in The New Republic back in 1965, a film that "enlarges our vision of what a film can be and do."

Befitting its startlingly beautiful visual nature, Criterion's new high-definition transfer of Red Desert is nothing less than stunning. Taken from the original 35mm camera negative and digitally restored, it gives us a gorgeous presentation of Antonioni's unique visuals. The image has a strong presence of grain, particularly in the sequences that feature wide expanses of a solid color, but that only enhances the image's appeal and power. The almost monochromatic early sequences look fantastic, as do the richly saturated later scenes that depict the fable. The digitally restored monaural soundtrack, transferred at 24-bit from a 35mm optical track print, also sounds excellent, providing a rather amazing sense of space and depth to the electronic score given that it emanates from a single speaker. | |
Italian film scholar David Forgacs's screen-specific audio commentary, which originally appeared on BFI's 2008 Blu-Ray, offers a wealth of insight into this peculiar and challenging film, including numerous intriguing production details such as the fact that Antonio had vegetation around the processing plants spray-painted to give the image a more uniformly desaturated look. The disc also includes two archival interviews, one with director Michelangelo Antonioni (12 min.) that was originally broadcast on French television in 1964, and one with actress Monica Vitti (9 min.), which was originally broadcast on French television in 1990. Completists will be particularly jazzed about the inclusion of two of Antoninoi's rare short documentaries: Gente del Po, which is about a barge trip down the Po River, and N.U., which documents the work of urban street cleaners. Also included are half an hour of extremely rare dailies (in both black and white and color and all without sound) recently acquired from the Cineteca di Bologna, and the original theatrical trailer. The insert booklet contains an essay by film writer Mark Le Fanu, a reprinted interview with Antonioni conducted by Jean-Luc Godard, and writings by Antonioni on Gente del Po and N.U.. |
