Fontaine's Hat Trick Leads Wild To Win Thursday
The Minnesota Wild defeated the Phoenix Coyotes 4-1 Thursday night in Glendale, Arizona to earn their fourth straight win. Wild rookie forward Justin Fontaine, a former UMD Bulldog, scored three goals to lead the Wild to the victory.
Fontaine scored the first period's only goal with just over a minute remaining to give Minnesota a 1-0 lead at the first intermission. The Wild were outshot by Phoenix 15-7 in the opening period.
The Coyotes tied the game just over two minutes into the second period on the power play. Phoenix outshot Minnesota 13-8 in the second period and 28-15 through two.
Kyle Brodziak scored the eventual game winning goal at 3:21 of the third period that gave the Wild a 2-1 lead.
Fontaine scored his second goal of the game on a power play at 7:56 of the third period on a bizarre play that saw Coyotes goalie Mike Smith misplay a puck only to watch Fontaine smack in into a wide open net.
The Wild finished the scoring, and Fontaine his hat trick, on an empty net goal with just over a minute left in the game. Fontaine now has 11 goals on the season, third on the team behind Jason Pominville (18) and Zach Parise (15).
Niklas Backstrom made 39 saves to earn the win for Minnesota. Mike Smith made 25 saves on 28 shots for Phoenix.
The Wild host Colorado on Saturday night at Xcel Energy Center.

Diving the Cape Peninsula and False Bay/MV Daeyang Family
The dive site MV Daeyang Family is an offshore recent wreck on rocky reef in the Robben Island area on the Atlantic seaboard of the Cape Peninsula near Cape Town in the Western Cape province of South Africa.
This is the wreck of a very large ship. It is very broken up as it is in an area of high energy wave action, but parts of the wreck are still quite awesome to see for the sheer size. The wreck is conveniently near a launch site, and is shallow enugh for beginners to dive if the sea is flat enough.
A short distance from the navigation buoy at Whale Rock.
The MV Daeyang Family was a large Korean ore carrier which was wrecked on Whale Rock on 1st March 1986 when anchors dragged in heavy weather, with a cargo of 162000 tonnes of ore.
The wreck lies at a bottom that varies from about 15m to about 19m. The shallowest point is on top of the engine block at about 5m. Most of the wreckage is low and not more than 2 to 3m above the underlying reef.
Visibility is not often good, as the wreck is very close to Whale Rock, where there is a break in all but the flattest conditions. On a good day visibility may exceed 10m.
The underlying reef is fairly low profile, and is a blocky sedimentary rock, probably hard sandstones. The low areas are covered by angular grit of about 6mm, which may be the remains of the cargo.
The wreck itself is very broken up. The hull form is unrecognisable, and the plating has been torn apart and scattered over a far wider area than the original width of the ship. There are few areas higher than 2 to 3m above the reef, and the highest item by far is the block of the 8 cylinder low speed crosshead marine diesel engine, which stands upright on a botton of about 16 to 17m and rises more than 10m high. Much of the engine is missing, including the intake and exhaust manifolds and ducting, and any turbochargers that may have been fitted, but the remaining structure is still an imposing sight, looming out of the blue like a small block of flats. The crank case covers have mostly been lost, and the crankshaft, connecting rods, and in some cases the crossheads and piston rods, are visible.
The engine block is about 20m long, and the aft end can be recognised by the flywheel. Ther is no gearbox as this was a direct coupled engine. There are several beams projecting horisontally from the starboard side of the block, which may have supported catwalks and ancillary equipment.
About 20m to the north of the engine block there are remains of a water-tube boiler. The steam and water drums are now roughly vertical and the tube banks somewhat distorted, The druns project about 2 to 3 m above the adjacenr wreckage.
Near to the boiler, probably less than 10m to the east, there is the remains of a large centrifugal pump, which has a broken casing and the interior can be seen.
Low areas under the wreckage between the rocks of the reef appear to be filled by small angular grit particles, of about 5mm mesh size. This may be the remains of the cargo.
The site is exposed to wind from all directions and swells from the north west and southwest, so should be dived when the sea is almost flat, and particularly the south west swell component is short period. The site is usually at it's best in summer but there may also be occasional opportunities in autumn and early winter.
This is an area where a strong south easterly wind sometimes develops in a short time, however the forecasts are usually reliable, and the wind is unlikely to be more than a nuisance on the way back.
Get in[edit]
The site is only accessible by boat. It is about 7.2km from the Oceana Power Boat Club slipway
See[edit][add listing]
Marine life[edit]
The wreckage is not notably encrusted. There are large patches of juvenile black mussel (August 2011), sea urchins, and large numbers of West coast rock lobster, and the engine block has the large red-bait pods one would expect in this area.
Large shoals of Hottentot seabream can be seen over the wreckage.
Wreckage of a large steel cargo vessel. ostly just mangled plates. but the engine, boiler and pump make an interesting dive, and the lifeboat wreck is worth a visit if you have the time
Wide angle. The wider the better, and hope for good visibility. If the viz is good the light should be sufficient to get some impressive shots of the huge wreckage. There is very little small stuff worth photographing at this site.
No specific routes recommended. If you start at the lifeboat wreck, you could spend about 10 to 15 minutes there, and then navigate to the engine area, which is about 325° magnetic, 100m away. After the first 60m or so you should see low wreckage over the bottom/ Continue until you reach the engine. From the west end of the engine swim due north magnetic about 15m to the boiler, then due east about 10m to the pump. To return to the engine block swim SSW 20m.
Stay safe[edit]
Strong surge is likely unless the sea is quite flat. There my be sharp edged wreckage, and the water will be cold.
No special skills recommended. The site is suitable for entry level divers of reasonable skill if the conditions are good.
Good insulation is recommended. A 7mm wet suit or dry suit is suitable. A DSMB and reel are recommended if you are not going to ascend at the shotline. This will alert the skipper to your position and that you are ascending, and reduce the risk of being run down by other craft.

The Latest Products
Keep it Covered
Covering your Mustang to protect it from all manner of Mother Nature's worst is just common sense. From storage protection of the sun's UV rays, preventing light scratches, and more, to keeping your paint pristine when taking your Mustang to overnight events, a car cover is just as important as your quick detailer or tire shine. That said, many owners opt for the cheapest cover and don't realize there's very little protection in those products. Now you can have a great fitting cover that will protect your pride and joy from EmpireCovers. Their new American Armor car cover features a UV resistant DuPont Tyvek top layer with a microfiber inner lining to protect your paint. The American Armor cover is completely waterproof, yet breathable, and features an impressive 10-year warranty and is made in the USA. Each order includes a storage bag and cover retainers along with free shipping to the lower 48 states. Info: 888/872-6855; www.empirecovers.com.
Plug-and-Play Power
If you've ever driven an '05 and up Mustang you've no doubt felt the lack of throttle response provided by the OEM "drive by wire" throttle pedal and the unique driving characteristics of such a design. For those with an '11 and up Mustang (or any Ford product for that matter) you can improve your drive-by-wire throttle response with a simple plug-and-play installation of JMS Chip & Performance's PedalMAX. PedalMAX is easy to install, plugging in-line between the pedal position sensor and vehicle harness at the throttle pedal.

Re: Behavior of named and default 'yank' buffer
In my experience both vi and vim yank (change/delete) into the "default" buffer every time a yank (change/delete) occurs - even if the yank is performed with a named buffer. So if I use "ayy to yank a line into the 'a' buffer, I can "put" that buffer back using either "aP or just P, the latter using the default buffer. Right now the default buffer only seems to hold the items explicitly put there and that is not the same as either vi or vim. Is there a way to change this through the configuration settings?

PepsiCo Casa Grande Plant Reaches 'Near Net Zero' for Sustainability
Frito-Lay's Casa Grande, Ariz., plant is nearly self-sustaining in water, heat and electricity.
It's difficult deciding which gee-whiz feature to point out first about Frito-Lay's Casa Grande, Ariz., plant: the 36 acres of solar cells in an adjacent field; a sewage treatment plant big enough for a small town; the huge boiler that burns landscape waste from a 75-mile radius, providing all of the plant's steam.
After two-plus years of groundbreaking investment in "green" and energy-efficient technologies – some of them experimental – the PepsiCo division last October declared the Casa Grande facility had reached "near net zero" – meaning it's run primarily on renewable energy sources and recycled water while producing zero landfill waste.
The Casa Grande plant is largely off the grid. Off several grids, for that matter. In the process, it's saving money (the company would not specify how much) thanks to investments in four areas: renewable energy (both steam and electricity), recycled water, fleet efficiency and landfill reductions.
Some plants go for green, some for energy efficiency, some to reduce waste discharges to avoid municipal surcharges. In Casa Grande, PepsiCo and Frito-Lay have gone beyond those laudable goals to create a plant that could very well sustain itself – nearly anywhere in the world – even if it loses electrical service, sewage treatment and other municipal services and even water.
And that last point, doing without water, is a very real concern in some parts of the world. But those parts of the world still eat snacks. So that's one less barrier to PepsiCo's penetration of emerging markets.
It's one thing for Kettle Foods to get LEED Gold for a 73,000-sq.-ft. greenfield potato chip plant on five acres in Wisconsin (and quite commendable). It's quite another to get LEED Gold and to approach net-zero in a 28-year-old, 160,000-sq.-ft. plant on 283 acres.
The result is part showcase plant but also part ongoing experiment. There are some remarkable things working well in the Casa Grande plant … and a few that have proven tricky or difficult to cost-justify, at least under current circumstances, and probably will not be replicated elsewhere.
"Almost four years ago, Frito-Lay drew a map of all the locations that were doing various sustainability projects," Al Halvorsen, senior director of environmental sustainability for PepsiCo, told a group from Food Processing when we visited in February.
Indeed, there are many sustainable manufacturing projects throughout the Frito-Lay organization. A 1986 cogeneration system in Kern, Calif., recycles waste heat, providing both steam and electricity and raising the plant's energy efficiency to 74 percent. The Rosenberg, Texas, plant in 1999 began using gas from a nearby landfill to replace some natural gas. The San Antonio, Texas, plant pioneered an oven heat recovery system using the exhaust heat from ovens – some plants use the recaptured energy to heat the oil in fryers while others use it to heat their buildings. Several facilities have solar arrays.
"We thought, 'What if we took the best ideas and tried them all in one spot?' " Halvorsen continues.
When the Casa Grande project began, Halvorsen was director of environmental sustainability specifically for Frito-Lay North America. He's very familiar with the Casa Grande plant. It was the first plant he was assigned to when he joined Frito-Lay in 1988 as part of the maintenance resource department.
The Frito-Lay division conceptualized the goal of approaching net-zero. Casa Grande was chosen after a review by both PepsiCo and the U.S. Dept. of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory. "The NREL analysis mapped and compared renewable technology to the availability of renewable sources at 10 U.S. Frito-Lay locations," Halvorsen says. "We then used this data along with company knowledge – size of facility, availability of land, etc. – to pick the Casa Grande plant."
The plant had received LEED Gold certification, the first for a renovated food production plant, in 2010. It makes Lay's and Ruffles potato chips, Fritos corn chips, Tostitos and Doritos tortilla chips, SunChips and Cheetos.

Goldschmidt, D'backs complete sweep at Dodger Stadium
Los Angeles, CA – Paul Goldschmidt went 2-for-4 with two home runs, including the go-ahead blast in the eighth inning, as the Arizona Diamondbacks edged the Los Angeles Dodgers, 3-2, to complete a three-game sweep at Dodger Stadium.
Goldschmidt, who has homered in three straight games, also had a two-run shot in the sixth for the D'backs, winners in four of their last five games.
"It seems like Goldschmidt's been a one-man wrecking crew on us," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said. "It doesn't really matter who is out there. He's hit our three best arms."
Wade Miley (3-1) allowed two runs and scattered seven hits over 7 2/3 innings to earn the win. He struck out four without issuing a walk to earn his first win since April 10. Heath Bell gave up a leadoff double in the ninth, but recorded the next three outs to earn his third save.
Nick Punto and Adrian Gonzalez both had RBI doubles for the Dodgers, who have dropped a season-high seven straight games.
Kenley Jansen (1-1) was charged with the loss after giving up Goldschmidt's second homer of the game
Starter Clayton Kershaw was plagued by a lack of run support once again. The 2011 NL Cy Young Award winner gave up just two runs -- one earned -- on five hits over seven innings. Over eight starts this season, Kershaw has received an average of just 2.38 runs per game from the Dodgers' offense.
The Dodgers jumped out to an 2-0 lead in the fourth inning. Dee Gordon singled to open the frame then scored when Punto slapped a double to right field. After Matt Kempt flew out, Gonzalez roped a double to right to push Punto across.
Goldschmidt tied the game in the sixth with his two-run blast. Didi Gregorius reached on a fielding error, and Goldschmidt followed with his homer to left.
After Jansen retired the first two batters in the eighth, Goldschmidt struck again, ripping a towering fly ball that just cleared the fence in left field.
"I hit it and I knew it was going to be close and I kind of lost sight of it and couldn't tell, so I looked at the umpire and he obviously said home run," Goldschmidt said.
Skip Schumaker doubled to open the ninth inning, but Bell was able to record three straight outs to preserve the win.
Game Notes
Goldschmidt, who has nine long balls on the season, homered twice for the first time in his career ... Arizona was 0-for-5 with runners in scoring position ... Kershaw had four strikeouts and boasts a slender 1.62 earned run average this season.

The Water Year 2011 Hydrologic Summary from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration office in Riverton was released this week, and Wyoming saw a record water year in 2011 which included heavy flooding across the state.
Heavy snowpack that began in November of 2010, followed by cool temperatures that lasted into late spring of this year caused flooding into July.
Warm, windy nights during runoff months, along with rainfall on snowpack contributed to the flooding, the NOAA report says.
Dave Coleman warned residents about the high running water in Big Goose back in June.
Both Johnson and Sheridan counties applied for FEMA grants to mitigate flood damage and were awarded $4,927 and $31,000 respectively.
A tragedy during a flash flood in July along Brush Creek in southern Wyoming on July 19th took the lives of a mother and her three children from Colorado Springs. Their car (pictured above) went into a 25-foot section of washed-out roadway in the Medicine Bow National Forest and the only survivor of the crash was the father.
Historic snowpack levels also contributed to flooding in the Big Horns. The report reads: "Record spring snowpack along the Big Horn Basin (mainly along the west slopes of the Big Horn Mountains) and near record snowpack along the Shoshone Basin. There was widespread moderate to major flooding along many headwater streams and creeks that flowed out of the western slopes of the Big Horn Mountains. Shell Creek near Shell crested to near 4,800 cfs---which shattered the previous flow record of 3,000 cfs that was set back in 1945."
As far as for this year, the month of November saw less snow than it did last year, but the report says that it is too early to make sound predictions on next year's runoff. November saw normal-to-above-normal snowfall in the basins across the state.
"Bottom line is a lot can happen in the next few months with snowpack trends---but so far, this water year is not even comparing to the exceptional water year that we had last year," says the report.
The first snowpack report for the Bighorns is usually released early in February.

Did you know that over half of American infants receive support from the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program each year, at over 9,000 clinic locations? That the program is the largest purchaser of infant formula in the U.S.? That there are thousands upon thousands of WIC breastfeeding peer counselors, likely making it the largest system of breastfeeding support in the country?
With reach like that, the impact of the WIC program on breastfeeding in the U.S. can't be understated. So when big changes happen in the WIC program, it's important to pay attention. A new study out last week assesses what happened when WIC dramatically changed its infant feeding benefits, and I thought it was worth a close look.
Women who receive WIC benefits have for years have had lower breastfeeding rates than other mothers. The demographics of WIC participants (lower income, younger, etc.) are independently associated with lower breastfeeding rates, but studies have found that even when compared to similar mothers not using WIC, those on WIC have lower breastfeeding rates. This suggests that WIC itself might have a negative impact on breastfeeding behaviors.
So for years now, WIC has been trying to reverse this connection, turning the program from "the place where you get free formula" into a breastfeeding promotion and support system through efforts like its peer counseling program, Loving Support and Fathers Supporting Breastfeeding breastfeeding promotion campaigns. But it wasn't until the last few years that WIC revamped its actual benefit package to encourage mothers to breastfeed, and to do so exclusively.
WIC benefits for infants fall into three "packages:" a full breastfeeding package with no infant formula, a partial breastfeeding package with some infant formula, and a full formula package. In addition to infant food, mothers also receive food for themselves.
For years there have been complaints about the way these packages were constructed. Among the problems: The value of the fully breastfeeding package was significantly lower than the other packages. The large amount of formula given to partially breastfeeding mothers was considered an incentive to supplement more. Formula was given to partially breastfeeding mothers in the first month, which may have hindered the development of their milk supplies. Infant cereals were given starting at 4 months.
So in 2007, after much study, WIC began to roll out a revised set of food packages, which include:
- A fully breastfeeding package with the highest and most varied amount of food for the mother for one year, and the highest amount of complementary foods for the baby starting at six months. Breastfeeding support provided.
- A partial breastfeeding package with no formula in the first month, with less formula than in previous packages, and a higher amount of food for the mother than the fully formula feeding package, for one year. Mothers requiring more than the amount of formula given in this package (50%)are given the fully formula feeding package. Breastfeeding support provided.
- A fully formula feeding package, with an amount of formula dependent upon the needs of the infant, and food for the mother for six months.
These changes brought the value of the fully breastfeeding package closer in line with the value of the other packages, and were intended to provide a strong incentive for moms to choose breastfeeding and exclusive breastfeeding.
So, after reviewing the records for over 200,000 infants aged 0-5 months in 10 states, what did the authors of the recent study say about the effects of these changes?
After implementation of the [new package], fewer WIC mothers were assigned the partial breastfeeding package, whereas more mothers were assigned to the full breastfeeding and full formula packages. For dyads or partial dyads in whom the infant was in his or her birth month, the percentage of mothers who received the partial breastfeeding package fell from 24.7% to 13.8%. The percentage of mothers who received the full breastfeeding package rose from 9.8% to 17.1%, and the percentage of mothers who received the full formula package rose from 20.5% to 28.5%. [emphasis mine]
What about breastfeeding initiation?
The breastfeeding initiation rate for WIC participants was essentially unchanged at 65.5% (preimplementation) and 65.1% (postimplementation). Overall rates of breastfeeding initiation appeared quite stable even as WIC package assignments changed.
And what about exclusivity over time?
In dyads with infants who were 3–5 mo old, the use of the full breastfeeding
package was nearly the same before and after implementation of the change. Thus, the increased use of the full breastfeeding package after implementation was observed for dyads with infants aged 0–2 mo but not for dyads with infants aged 3–5 mo.
So, what might explain these results, especially the shift away from the 'middle' option to the fully breastfeeding and fully formula feeding options?
One, the authors note, is that mothers requiring more formula than is given to partially breastfeeding mothers were reclassified as fully formula feeding mothers. Another factor, I would guess (and have heard anecdotally), is that mothers intending to breastfeed but not sure if they can do it exclusively might be scared by hearing that they'll receive no formula in the first month, and opt for the fully formula feeding package. The authors note that implementation of the changes may have been uneven around the country. And finally, the authors note that the period of data collection (2009) was a very volatile one for the U.S. economy: "it is still possible that rapid changes in the US economy in 2009 could have influenced WIC package choices."
Have you used WIC? Were the package changes an incentive to breastfeed or breastfeed exclusively? What do you think of these results? What other factors could explain them?

The summer break like so many more that have gone before sees Leeds United's players head off on their individual ways without any clear vision of that they face when they return to Thorp Arch for pre-season in July.
The conclusion of the 100% takeover of the club by Andrea Radrizzani, an agreement which ends Massimo Cellino's three year bond with Leeds certainly ties up one major lose end but there are many more questions that need to be answered before preparation for the new season can begin.
The biggest unanswered question regards the future of Garry Monk. Will he return to take the club on pre-season as head coach? Defender Kyle Bartley said of Monk; "If Garry stays, the club will be in strong hands. If they don't sign him up they could spell trouble." Radrizzani needs to act quickly regarding the appointment of his head coach for next season and given the relative over achievement of Leeds United guided by Garry Monk last season the choice is a no-brainer for most fans.
A shadow also hangs over the future of one of the season's key performers, defender Kyle Bartley. After an incredible yearlong loan spell at Elland Road Bartley has returned to parent club Swansea with question marks over his future. With over 50 appearances to his name he was near ever present and a vocal leader on the pitch. Monk, said the defender had played "best football he's ever played."
Swansea manager Paul Clement has indicated that Bartley could play a part in the Swansea team next year but with the season he at Elland Road and the devotion the fans have showed him a return to Leeds must be tempting if the right offer is made and the right man is in charge next season. Play with NetBet https://sport.netbet.co.uk/ & double your winning in the blink of an eye!
Irish winger Stuart Dallas is also extremely keen for Bartley to sign;
Reflecting on a changeable season for himself Dallas said;This summer is massive for the club. The club have got to build on what we've got here, beginning with the management. He's massive and he's proved throughout the season how big a player he can be. I think he's missed one league game throughout the whole season. He's a huge influence on the group and he's miles ahead of his age, if that makes sense, he added. Next year it would be great if he could come back here, but I think he can make the step up to the Premier League.
It's been a bit up and down for me personally. I didn't start great but I don't want to use this as an excuse that I was drained as I'm not the only player who returned from a major tournament. Three weeks ago we were eight points clear as well as we just couldn't get over the line. But we've definitely made progress from last season and certainly from the start of this season too. We set ourselves a points target and we've reached the target. During the last 20 years or so it's been an average that gets you into the play-offs. We've fallen short but we've learnt a lot and we're still a young group. We'll come back next season raring to go.

David Phillips, "An Uncertain Ally"
David Phillips, former senior State Department adviser (Clinton, Bush, Obama), takes a critical look at rule of Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Turkey and questions whether Turkey should continue to be a U.S. ally and NATO member. Here is a portion of his conversation with Alexander Cooley.
Ashley C. Ford at the 2017 AWP Book Fair
Host Rich Fahle talks with writer and editor Ashley C. Ford.
Heather Boushey: Finding Time: The Economics of Work-Life Conflict
Employers today are demanding more and more of employees' time. And from campaign barbecues to the blogosphere, workers across the United States are raising the same worried question: How can I get ahead at my job while making sure my family doesn't fall behind?
Heather Boushey argues that resolving work–life conflicts is as vital for individuals and families as it is essential for realizing the country's productive potential. The federal government, however, largely ignores the connection between individual work–life conflicts and more sustainable economic growth. The consequence: business and government treat the most important things in life—health, children, elders—as matters for workers to care about entirely on their own time and dime. That might have worked in the past, but only thanks to a hidden subsidy: the American Wife, a behind-the-scenes, stay-at-home fixer of what economists call market failures. When women left the home—out of desire and necessity—the old system fell apart. Families and the larger economy have yet to recover.
But change is possible. Finding Time presents detailed innovations to help Americans find the time they need and help businesses attract more productive workers. A policy wonk with working-class roots and a deep understanding of the stresses faced by families up and down the income ladder, Heather Boushey demonstrates with clarity and compassion that economic efficiency and equity do not have to be enemies. They can be reconciled if we have the vision to forge a new social contract for business, government, and private citizens.
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie on We Should All Be Feminists at the 2017 AWP Book Fair
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie talks with host Rich Fahle about her latest novel, "We Should All Be Feminists" at the 2017 AWP Book Fair.
The highly acclaimed, provocative New York Times bestseller—a personal, eloquently-argued essay, adapted from the much-admired TEDx talk of the same name—from Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, award-winning author of Americanah. Here she offers readers a unique definition of feminism for the twenty-first century, one rooted in inclusion and awareness. Drawing extensively on her own experiences and her deep understanding of the often masked realities of sexual politics, here is one remarkable author's exploration of what it means to be a woman now—and an of-the-moment rallying cry for why we should all be feminists.
Emory Professor Carol Anderson on "White Rage"
We are broadcasting from Atlanta, Georgia, home to Emory University, and we speak with Carol Anderson, chair of Emory's Department of African American Studies. Her recent book, "White Rage: The Unspoken Truth of Our Racial Divide," won the National Book Critics Circle Award for criticism.
Zeynep Tufekci on Twitter and Tear Gas
Berkman Klein Faculty Associate, Zeynep Tufekci joins us to talk about her new book, Twitter and Tear Gas: The Power and Fragility of Networked Protest.
To understand a thwarted Turkish coup, an anti–Wall Street encampment, and a packed Tahrir Square, we must first comprehend the power and the weaknesses of using new technologies to mobilize large numbers of people. An incisive observer, writer, and participant in today's social movements, Zeynep Tufekci explains in this accessible and compelling book the nuanced trajectories of modern protests—how they form, how they operate differently from past protests, and why they have difficulty persisting in their long-term quests for change.
Tufekci speaks from direct experience, combining on-the-ground interviews with insightful analysis. She describes how the internet helped the Zapatista uprisings in Mexico, the necessity of remote Twitter users to organize medical supplies during Arab Spring, the refusal to use bullhorns in the Occupy Movement that started in New York, and the empowering effect of tear gas in Istanbul's Gezi Park. These details from life inside social movements complete a moving investigation of authority, technology, and culture—and offer essential insights into the future of governance.
About Zeynep
Zeynep Tufekci is an assistant professor at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill at the School of Information and Library Science with an affiliate appointment in the Department of Sociology. She is also currently also a Fellow at the Berkman Center for Internet and Society at Harvard University. She was previously an assistant professor of sociology at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. Her research revolves around the interaction between technology and social, cultural and political dynamics. She is particularly interested in collective action and social movements, complex systems, surveillance, privacy, and sociality.
Prof. Matthew Reynolds: "The World of Translation" | Talks at Google
In this talk, we are joined by Prof. Matthew Reynolds, professor of English and Comparative Criticism, Tutorial Fellow at St. Anne's College at the University of Oxford, and author of Oxford University Press' "Very Short Introduction" on Translation.
He introduces his audience into the word of translation from the point of view of a writer and a scientist, highlighting a broad range of aspects of the subject and discussing the different perspectives one can have: How is the "failure" of a machine to correctly translate a text different from the "artistic license" of a human writer who translates an ancient piece of literature in non-standard grammar?
Lacks family with Rose Byrne: The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks
In anticipation of HBO Films' all-star adaptation of Rebecca Skloot's #1 New York Times bestselling book, Claudia Dreifus moderates a conversation with the author, members of the Lacks family, and actors Rose Byrne and Renee Elise Goldsberry, to explore the many facets of this remarkable true story.
China Miéville in conversation with Verso Books on the Russian Revolution
On the centenary of the Russian Revolution, China Miéville tells the extraordinary story of this pivotal moment in history, and talks about his new book October: The Story of the Russian Revolution
A Moment with Margaret Atwood
As the debut of the latest adaptation of her timeless work of speculative fiction — The Handmaid's Tale — is about to hit small screens and streaming sites, the poet, author and activist joined us to talk about a book written to address the contemporary political issues over 30 years ago, which may be even more prescient today. In vivid and descriptive detail, Margaret Atwood traces the story of The Handmaid's Tale from its theocratic and totalitarian inspirations to its current form as a rallying cry in the time of Trump, and what we can do now to reverse the course of dangerous patriarchies holding power. Told with her signature wit and marked wisdom, the author subtly shocks and dependably awes.
Sir Peter Bazalgette: " The Empathy Instinct" | Talks at Google
Sir Peter Bazalgette in conversation with VP Comms, Peter Barron. Sir Peter was instrumental in creating the independent TV production sector in the United Kingdom. He was Chief Creative Officer at Endemol, President of the Royal Television Society, Deputy Chairman of the National Film School, Chair of Arts Council England, and is now Chair of the UK broadcaster ITV. He's spent his career arguing for the role and importance of the arts and creative expression.
He joined us at Google to talk about his new book, The Empathy Instinct, which seeks to address the essential question of how we create a more civil society when so many of us are divided.
Cheech Marin: "Cheech is Not My Real Name... But Don't Call Me Chong!"
The long-awaited memoir from a counterculture legend.
Cheech Marin came of age at an interesting time in America and became a self-made counterculture legend with his other half, Tommy Chong. This insightful memoir delves into how Cheech dodged the draft, formed one of the most successful comedy duos of all time, became the face of the recreational drug movement with the film Up in Smoke, forged a successful solo career with roles in The Lion King and, more recently, Jane the Virgin, and became the owner of the most renowned collection of Chicano art in the world.
Written in Cheech's uniquely hilarious voice, this memoir will take you to new highs.

Revolutions Without Borders: The Call to Liberty in the Atlantic World
According to author Janet Polasky, "Nation-based histories cannot do justice to the rowdy, radical interchange of ideas around the Atlantic world during the tumultuous years from 1776 to 1804. National borders were powerless to restrict the flow of enticing new visions of human rights and universal freedom." She discusses her new book on the subject.
Speaker Biography: Janet Polasky is presidential professor of history at the University of New Hampshire. She is the author of five other books, including "Reforming Urban Labor: Routes to the City, Roots in the Country" and the prize-winning "Revolution in Brussels, 1787-1793."

Derek Loosvelt
March 26, 2014
The so-called brain drain continues at beleaguered JPMorgan Chase.
A few days ago, a man named Fang Fang, the chief of JPMorgan's Chinese investment banking unit, quit amid an investigation into the bank's alleged practices of hiring people in Asia so their relatives in the government would send business the bank's way. And yesterday, Michael Cavanagh, co-head of JPMorgan's global investment banking operations, announced that he was jumping ship to the Carlyle Group, a Washington, D.C.-based private equity powerhouse known widely for its investments in the defense industry as well as for its ties to world leaders.
Over the years, Carlyle (which was named after New York's Carlyle Hotel, where two of the firm's founders often met to discuss the formation of the business, and where Woody Allen can often be seen playing the clarinet with his jazz band) has employed such figures as Former U.S. President George H. W. Bush, Former British Prime Minister John Major, Former U.S. Secretary of State Jim Baker, Former U.S. Secretary of Defense Frank Carlucci, Former White House Budget Director Dick Darman, and Former Philippines President Fidel Ramos.
Cavanagh's departure came as a shock to many, in part because he was the heir apparent to JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon's throne. Cavanaugh had worked with Dimon for more than 20 years, first at Bank One, and then at JPMorgan. Dimon, upon his colleague's departure, released a glowing review of Cavanagh's work, calling him "an exceptional partner with great instincts, integrity and strategic thinking."
Cavanagh, for his part, said in a statement that "it was not without a lot of soul searching that I decided it was time for me to take my career in a different direction." Which also came as a shock to many who weren't aware that Cavanagh, who worked as head of the bank's treasury securities unit through the 2008 financial crisis, had such a thing to search.
Other observers said that Cavanagh's move to a private equity giant like Carlyle underscored a recent trend of bankers moving to PE shops because of increased bank regulation and the fact that PE's where the money is.
Although it's true that many big swinging bankers have recetnly left the banking industry for literally greener pastures in PE land, this is no new trend. Top PE executives have always made more bank than top bankers. But it is true that now, in the wake of the financial crisis, with banks falling out of favor with Capitol Hill and Main Street alike, that the prestige and power that once came with being a top banker is dwindling. And so, like Cavanagh, there will continue to be many big swingers who'll be taking the money and running—far away from the bulge-bracket behemoths to the PE and hedge fund giants of the world.
To give you an idea of just much more money can be made at the top of a large PE firm org chart versus the C-suite at a bulge bracket bank, consider the following (which DealBook points out):
The three founders of the Carlyle Group received $750 million for their work in 2013, while another private equity titan, Kohlberg Kravis Roberts, gave its co-founders more than $160 million each for 2013. The hefty payouts dwarf the compensation at banks, including JPMorgan, where Mr. Dimon received $20 million in total compensation for the same year.
It should also be noted that it's not so easy to pocket all those PE millions. Cavanagh beat out more than six dozen other high-ranking executives to land the job of co-president of Carlyle. And the interview process lasted half a year.
Carlyle worked with an executive search firm in a six-month process in which it considered more than 75 names for one of the co-president posts, a person briefed on the matter said. Before Mr. Cavanagh's name was floated, he was not widely known inside Carlyle.
As for Jamie Dimon and JPMorgan's next move, it seems that the first order of business should be to figure out how to better retain their top talent. As BusinessWeek pointed out, "A 2008 Fortune magazine story about JPMorgan's leadership included photographs of Dimon's 14 top lieutenants. Today, just three of them remain."

OTTAWA — Cyber attacks such as the one that exploited the Heartbleed bug to steal about 900 Canadians' social insurance numbers could become increasingly common, an expert says.
The Canada Revenue Agency was forced to shut down its website for four days last week after learning its systems had been compromised by the Heartbleed bug — a virus that essentially leaks encrypted data.
On Monday, CRA commissioner Andrew Treusch said "someone exploiting the Heartbleed vulnerability" stole about 900 social insurance numbers over a six-hour period.
"We are currently going through the painstaking process of analyzing other fragments of data, some that may relate to business, that were also removed," Treusch said in a statement.
Cyber security expert Raymond Vankrimpen says anyone whose SIN was stolen should be wary of offers for credit cards or other credit services.
Vankrimpen says he wasn't surprised the CRA was attacked, but the "size and scope" of the breach is significant.
"This vulnerability shows that even if we put the best security practices in place, we're still vulnerable," he told QMI Agency.
The CRA will send information via registered mail to the Canadians whose privacy may have been breached.
"The CRA will provide those who have been affected with access to credit protection services at no cost," Treusch said. "We will apply additional protections to their CRA accounts to prevent any unauthorized activity."
For those affected, the primary concern is vulnerability to identity theft.
A spokesman for Communications Security Establishment Canada said it's working to defend the government's networks.
"CSE's IT security team has been assessing the impact on government networks and advising government departments on mitigation and protection measures to address the Heartbleed bug," Ryan Foreman said.

The federal Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services today announced a range of premium changes for 2013. Most notably, the monthly premium and deductibles for Medicare Part B, which covers certain doctors' services, outpatient visits and medical supplies, among other things, will each increase by about 5%.
The increase doesn't amount to much in dollar terms – the monthly premium goes up $5, to $104.90 – and it's a smaller increase than officials were predicting earlier in the year. But it does mark the first time that the monthly premium has crossed the $100 mark, which represents something of a psychological break point. And in percentage terms, the increase is about three times as big as the Social Security cost of living adjustment for 2013, announced last month. Since 2001, Medicare Part B premiums have more than doubled, while Social Security benefits have risen 34%. (And in that last sentence, you have the U.S. health-care economic crisis in microcosm.)
[Correction: An earlier version of this post erroneously said that Medicare Part D premiums had more than doubled since 2001.]

Concrete is one of the most common man-made products on earth, requiring vast amounts of raw materials and considerable energy to process them. So any company, like Lehigh Hanson Canada (LHC), making concrete products in large quantities is going to have a big impact on communities and the environment.
Concrete products are a mixture of aggregates, such as sand and gravel, water, and cement, made from limestone. So that means that LHC operates aggregate pits and production facilities. Our responsibility begins as soon as we begin to take sand, gravel or limestone out of the ground and continues through to the full production of our products.

Silmarillion is a great book, though quite biblically ponderous and sadly clinically free from humour. Skilled script writers could make several outstanding movies, or even a TV-series based on its many episodic stories. It's black and white (though the Fëanoreans are more greyscale characters) and all about big cosmic clashes. No funny little stories there, but epic battles and doomsday at the end of two ages, with vast swathes of lands drowned under the sea. Greed reigns supreme and trusts are broken.
The Silmarillion is dark, and basically everything goes to hell for the mortals. Anyone reading it will recognize many themes used in Lotr and Hobbit. In short, the Hobbit and the Lotr trilogy are the kinder child's version of Tolkien's fantasy, where good wins the day and saves the world. In Silmarillion, the world is flawed since creation, and though good may win the day, the world certainly isn't much saved...
The equivalent of Pelennor's Fields or Aragorn's march to the Black Gates end with a massive slaughter of Elves and their allies, with Orcs overrunning much of Beleriand (westernmost Middle Earth, sunk beneath the waves in 2nd-3rd ages) and several legendary story arcs kicking off amid this world falling apart into the abyss, with despair and darkness drowning out beacon after beacon of hope until only one light remains in the darkness.
Tip A: Fëanor (one of two characters who serves as the basis for WHFB's Aenarion) is the best character in the book. Well-developed, flawed in person though masterful in crafts, fiery in temper and the only one to slam his door in Morgoth's face. The one exception to the rule of no humour in the Silmarillion: "Get off my lawn, Dark Lord!"
Tip B: The best Tolkien battle scenes are to be found in Fall of Gondolin. Written very early in the 1920s and showing signs of this several times, it is nevertheless splendid and not too surprisingly JRR never prioritized a rewrite update. It's worth reading, though it's not in the Silmarillion, but rather in the Unfinished Tales if one can dig it out among many of the other half-finished stories and early manuscripts found there. Seek it out.
The Silmarillion deserves to be filmed, and treated as well as possible (true to the spirit of the stories therein, but polished with some inserted humour where appropriate). Ultimately, the work is Tolkien's unfinished magnus opus, which he worked on from the late first world war (started writing when wounded at a war hospital) right up to the end of his life, polishing and adding to. His son Christopher (who worked together with an acclaimed fantasy author to compil and edited the Silmarillion together following his father's death) will not release the rights for filming. His father did for the Hobbit and Lotr trilogy in 1960s for tax inheritance reasons, which is why we had any Jackson movies at all, yet Christopher (for all his good work) is flawed in his outlook to deny the wider world access to his father's life work outside of the book itself.
We'll see what happens in the Tolkien estate upon Christopher Tolkien's passing away, but until then, we can only dream.
In the meanwhile, here are some images trawled from across the web compiled in an album, for a look at some fans' visions of the story and first age world (much remains to be added into the album).
Also, listen to Blind Guardian's Nightfall in Middle-Earth album for an audio take on the Silmarillion.
A few highlights. All the cosmic creator clash stuff is neat on its own and original in places, but the doings of mortals are what makes this the good story that it is:
The world is sung forth into existence by godly beings
The mightiest of the gods to settle in the world, Melkot Morgoth Bauglir, rages as a chaotic force of nature for untold ages, acquiring followers and shaping the world in his violent struggle with the orderly gods. Morgoth causes untold damage and shatters all the works of his enemies.
Morgoth starts out with an icy base up at the north pole, Utumno, where monsters are bred.
As the coming of Elves first, then Humans, draw closer, the Valar (gods of order) decides to strike. They lay waste to Utumno and drag Morgoth chained from its depths.
A large part of the Elven tribes are led to Valinor (paradise home of the gods) to dwell among the gods.
Morgoth broods chained and shackled for millenia, but seems to repent and work for good. He is granted some freedom, and teaches the Elves crafts. In particular, he teaches the strongest Elven tribe, the Noldor to forge weapons. He also sows dissent and plants seeds of mistrust, rivalry, greed, hunger for power and destruction in the seemingly calm paradise.
Fëanor, heir to the craftsfolk Noldor Elves, creates the Silmarils, gemstones of utter power and brilliance, envy of the very gods.
Fëanor never trusts Morgoth, yet is ultimately more influenced by the Dark Lord than anyone else. For the first time in peaceful paradise, someone draw sword, and at his own brother (Fingolfin) at that.
"Look, half-brother, this blade is sharper than your tongue":
As the Elven drama unfolds, Morgoth and Ungoliant (ancestor of Shelob) drains the twin Trees of Valinor, odd wooden predecessors of sun & moon
Having killed the Noldor king Finwë, stolen precious magical gemstones and cast Valinor into chaos, Melkor Morgoth and Ungoliant escapes. In safety, Ungoliant demands her share, draining jewels in large numbers. She grows enormously powerful. She demands the last gems which Morgoth hides, the Silmarils, which he refuses her. Ungoliant turns on Morgoth, who gives up a giant roar of anguish and deepest terror (etches itself into the landscape where it took place), and is only saved by his host of Balrogs. He is now safely back in his new stronghold, Angband, marshalling new hosts and breeding monsters and Orcs.
Meanwhile back in Valinor, all hell break loose as simmering conflicts unravel among the Noldor nobility. The gods sits in silent council while Fëanor, firstborn of the slain king Finwë, makes his seven sons swear a holy oath to retrieve the stolen Silmarils from the hands of whosoever holds it. Agitation among the Noldor results in an exodus back to Middle Earth.
Another Elven tribe, the seafaring Teleri, refuses to lend the Noldor their ships. Bloodshed ensues in the first kinslaying, as the Noldor claim their ships by force. The Noldor gets cursed by the gods to die by the sword, to see all their efforts fail and to never return to Valinor, yet their only hope lies west across the sea.
The Noldor split apart due to royal family conflict. Without enough ships to transport all the emigrees across the sea at once, the elder son Fëanor takes his followers across first. Rather than sending the ships back as promised, he burns the ships, forcing his half-brother Fingolfin to either walk back in shame to Valinor, or lead his people across the grinding ice to the north. These Elves press on, embittered.
Fëanor leads his armed followers straight to Angband, intent on revenge and Silmarils. However, in his frenzy he charges ahead with only a few friends, leaving his vast army behind him. Seeing his chance, Morgoth sends out all his Balrogs in force to destroy this mighty mortal. It does not happen easily.
The feuding Noldor factions barely manages to overcome their differences, settling in separate realms, encountering Wood Elves, Dwarves, Men and more, striking alliances where possible and building great kingdoms. Much happens. Morgoth's fortress of Beleriand is put under lengthy siege by the Noldor Elves for 400 years, who fights several large battles against Orcs. Eventually, however, the treachery of Men and the strength of Melkor results in the wholesale slaughter of the Elven hosts. Before this final damning defeat, however, the warlord Fingolfin challenges Morgoth to a duel in darkest despair, wounding the Dark Lord before dying. The Dwarves of Belegost play their part in the large final battle as well, falling upon the first revealed (wingless) dragon with their weapons and wounding it severely before marching off from the battlefield, singing dire dirges as they carry their slain king with no army present daring to stop their departure:
The Dark Lord stands triumphant, erecting a huge hill of the slain and overrunning much of Middle-Earth.
Most of the Silmarillion from now on deals with sagas of this slide into hell in a handbasket. Basically, it is a collection of legends on Morgoth's mopping-up of the defeated free peoples, and their last desperate grasping for hope and salvation. A few bits follow.
The last Noldor stronghold remaining is the hidden city of Gondolin, who falls thanks to jealous treachery from within its own royal family. The fall of Gondolin is an epic battle, taking many Balrogs down with the doomed city.
After much intrigue, the Wood Elf princess Luthien and her human lover Beren (Tolkien calls himself and his wife Beren & Luthien on his own tombstone) tricks Sauron and sneaks into the depths of Angband under a powerful spell. At the court of Morgoth, their cover is blown, but Luthien dances in enchanting sorcerous beauty, and the court falls asleep as Morgoth ponders vilating the fair maiden. They manage to free one Silmaril out of three from Morgoth's crown before Angband starts waking up, and flees in panic. Morgoth, however, bides his time and does not pursue the lost jewel, for he know it will doom the remaining free Elves.
As the agreed (impossible) prize for his daughter Luthien's hand, the Wood Elf king Thingol receives the Silmaril, and contracts the most skilled Dwarf craftsmen to fashion a necklace for him. Quarrel ensues, however, and the Dwarves' greed for the invaluable Silmaril is awoken. They march with an army into the Wood Elf Kingdom Doriath, slaying many, killing Thingol and stealing the Silmaril. Beren and some Elven rangers ambushes the returning Dwarves, however, and captures the Silmaril.
The release of one of the Silmarils back into the hands of mortals sets off a spiral of destruction. As word reaches the ears of the seven sons of Fëanor, they act upon their dark oath, and marches first into Doriath, sacking the capital and slaying many of the remaining populace, despite much diminished Fëanorean numbers. Following another lead, the Fëanoreans marches to the strong Dwarf city Nogrod, breaching its gates and sacking it as well, yet still no Silmaril has been found. Finally, the clues present themselves. The Fëanoreans descend upon the very last safe haven remaining in Beleriand, crushing the Elven refugees hiding there, yet failing to capture the Silmaril. Elf slays Elf. Dark deeds while Orcish hordes rampage across the fallen kingdoms.
A half-Elf named Eärendil seizes the free Silmaril, embarking on a world-spanning odyssey, eventually landing in Valinor despite the cursed charms surrounding the realm of the gods. The Silmaril's powers makes him win through and lift the curse upon the doomed Noldor tribe. There, Eärendil rallies the Valar gods and their remaining Elves, who march to Middle-Earth and casts down Morgoth's titanic power and armies in the ruinous War of Wrath, which makes Beleriand shatter and eventually sink beneath the waves.
Morgoth is defeated and cast out into outer space, though his creations and lieutnants remain, hiding and biding their time to rise again. The hunt for the Silmarils is not over, however. The last two surviving sons of Fëanor sneaks into the Valinor army's camp by night, killing guards to steal their Silmarils. However, they are caught.
The Valinor generals, despite everything, gives them their precious jewels. The evil deeds committed in the hunt for the Silmarils have however darkened the Fëanoreans' souls completely, causing the pure Silmarils to scorch them. One son, Maglor, throws his gem into the sea to wander the earth singing sorrowful songs about the Elves of lost Beleriand forever. The other, Maedhros the oldest son, casts himself and his Silmaril into a yawning chasm, swallowed by fire.
The Elves made a mess of the First Age. It is up to the Human Númenoreans to do likewise in the Second Age, and the cycle begins anew...

Otero County Treasurer Dennis Smith explained the process of selling 10 acres owned by the county since 1938 to Front Range Pipeline.
Land sold to Front Range Pipeline LLC
Otero County Treasurer Dennis Smith explained the process of selling 10 acres owned by the county since 1938 to Front Range Pipeline. The land is located on East Sixth Street, east of La Junta Livestock. "It's in the middle of the prairie," said Commissioner Kevin Karney. The land was probably acquired by the county when nobody bid on it in a tax auction, having been lost for nonpayment of taxes during the worst years of the Great Depression.
Front Range was interested in the land because it is big enough to be the site of a possible substation on the pipeline. After being approached, Smith had to go through a long process of public advertisement and public bidding before the county could legally enter into the necessary 1041 arrangement to sell the land. This has been accomplished, and Front Range paid $30,500, which must be divided among the beneficiaries of county tax money, such as the county general fund, the R-1 general fund, the La Junta Fire District, Lower Arkansas Valley Water Conservancy District, etc.
Tri-County Housing
Diane McAtee of Tri-County Housing explained the contract the commissioners signed for the rehabilitation of the Manzanola Gardens project. "It doesn't make sense to have property that is not in condition to be lived in," said McAtee. Five duplexes with two two-bedroom units each will be refurbished with grant money from the Colorado Department of Local Affairs in the amount of $172,280. Two projects are ongoing in Rocky Ford at this time, also, with the Meloneer Apartments soon to be in livable condition.
Tri-County Housing maintains a 92.24 percent monthly occupancy rate average in all its projects and and a 92.25 percent yearly occupancy rate average. The highest occupancy rates are at Sunshine Manor I and II in Las Animas, at 100 percent, with zero move-ins and move-outs. Morningside Heights in La Junta is in the process of refurbishing, with the largest number of units, 50, but still maintaining a monthly average occupancy rate of 93.03 per cent and yearly average occupancy rate of 89.18 percent.
Lex Nichols' official designation
Otero County Board of Commissioners designated Deputy Public Works Director as the local government designee to serve as Otero County's point of contact for the Oil and Gas Commission. His office hours have been changed to 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. to correspond with the hours of the Extension Office.

New Orleans Hornets owner George Shinn offers support by spearheading game with Atlanta Hawks
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Dec. 21, 2009) - During a Monday afternoon press conference inside the Carnegie Hotel, the ETSU Department of Intercollegiate Athletics and the International Storytelling Center announced that they would be working together to host an NBA exhibition game Oct. 16, 2010 inside the ETSU/MSHA Athletic Center.
The game will feature the New Orleans Hornets and the Atlanta Hawks, and the event is being made possible thanks to the generosity of New Orleans Hornets owner George Shinn and his interest in supporting both the ISC and ETSU athletics.
"We are thrilled to bring the excitement of New Orleans Hornets Basketball to the fans in East Tennessee," Shinn said. "It's customary for NBA teams to schedule preseason games outside of their home market, and we are so excited that our neighbors in this area will get to see Chris Paul and some of the most talented athletes in the world."
Shinn's desire to get involved in supporting the Northeast Tennessee community began when he and his wife Denise purchased a home in Telford. The Shinns then met Jimmy Neil Smith, founder and president of the International Storytelling Center, and that relationship led to a desire to help raise funds for the ISC. That in turn gave birth to plans to host an NBA exhibition game in Johnson City, which brought ETSU athletics on board.
"We are honored to have George and Denise making such a great impact on our community," Smith said. "We are very pleased that they are generously supporting the families, organizations, and institutions of our region."
ETSU Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Dave Mullins said his department is excited to be a part of bringing the NBA to Johnson City.
"This opportunity does not come around often, and Mr. Shinn's desire to help support our program is something we welcome," Mullins said. "Teaming up with the International Storytelling Center may not seem like a natural fit, but the work we have done and will do over the next year will bring an outstanding event to our community, while also helping raise financial support for both our programs."
Shinn's desire to help does not end with the ISC or ETSU, as he plans to spend Monday afternoon purchasing Christmas gifts for 20 needy children at the Wal-Mart located off Browns Mills Rd. in Johnson City.
"Denise and I have a passion for giving back to our communities," Shinn said. "We have owned our Tennessee home since Hurricane Katrina, and we are committed to becoming a part of the fabric of this community since we spend time here. God has blessed us, and it's important for us to share our passion and love with our neighbors and friends."
Ticket information for the game between the Hornets and Hawks will be released early next year, as well as plans for a special gala event some time prior to the game.
For more information, contact the ETSU Athletic Media Relations office at (423) 439-4220.

FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas senior Travis Swanson is one of six finalists for the Rimington Award, which is presented annually to the nation's top center.
FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas senior Travis Swanson is one of six finalists for the Rimington Award, which is presented annually to the nation's top center.
Swanson became a finalist after starting every game on the Razorbacks' offensive line in 2013. He started every game in his career, too, logging his 50th straight in Arkansas' season-ending loss at LSU on Nov. 29.
"When I first came into this, obviously, you're not thinking I want to start 50 straight games. It kind of just happens," Swanson said before the LSU game. "I'm thankful for it, to be able to not miss any of those (games)."
The two-year captain joins Auburn's Reese Dismukes, Oregon's Hroniss Grasu, Oklahoma's Gabe Ikard, Utah State's Tyler Larsen and Florida State's Bryan Stork as finalists. The 2013 Rimington Trophy winner will be named Thursday before the ESPN Home Depot College Football Awards Show in Lake Buena Vista, Fla.
The Rimington winner is selected by determining the consensus All-American center from three existing All-America teams (Walter Camp Foundation, Sporting News and Football Writer's Association of America).
Swanson — who Arkansas coach Bret Bielema repeatedly called the best center in the country this season — would be the second Razorback to win the award if selected. Former Hog Jonathan Luigs won the 2007 Rimington Trophy.
But Bielema believes Swanson has the tools to have a successful NFL career even if he isn't recognized as the top center in college football with the Rimington Trophy.
"Travis got invited to the Senior Bowl, and if he goes and performs the way that I've seen him perform in practice, he will be no less than a second-round draft pick," Bielema said before the LSU game.

- To extend Rural Rate Relief to support more pubs
- To lobby the Westminster Government to retain Small Breweries Relief
- To promote the availability of grants and loans for small brewers
- To promote Welsh beer products, such as by raising the profile of barley production in Wales

Faye Bergen - Celebrate Recovery Chef
I have been on the Staff of First Baptist since January 2007. I moved here from Summerville in September 2006 after retiring from the state of South Carolina for 34 years. I attended Baptist College which was called Charleston Southern and got a degree in business. I have been attending First Baptist going on 13 years and was here when Celebrate Recovery first started, When I first started here at First Baptist, my ministries were Wednesday Night Suppers, Celebrate Recovery and Young at Heart. Now I only do Celebrate Recovery which I love very much in being a servant for God who can help broken people. I started back going on 2 years ago as being a voice for a child (GAL) which is my greatest passion and being a big part in helping my community. I like helping shape the future of these children, being their voice and giving hope to abused and neglected children here in Lex. County. For example when the court is making a decision that will impact a child's future, the child needs and deserves a voice from an objective adult to provide dependable information about the interest of the child. While other parties in the case may not have the same concerns about the child, the GAL is the only person in the case whose sole concern is the best interest of the child.
I have 2 grown daughters that are married and living for the Lord, 5 grandchildren, 4 step grandchildren and come September I will have 7 great grandchildren. The Lord has really blessed me even in the hard times, so when you look at this, don't look at what Faye has done. I give the Praise and Glory to God for without Him, I am nothing and could do nothing. It all comes from Him! I thank Him daily for only letting me be a little part and His servant in helping broken people and abused and neglected children. If anyone ever wants to come on board with me in helping our community and these abused and neglected children here in Lexington County, please let me know. We would love to have you!

Is there somewhere on this site that you define what's in the different columns? I know some of them are obvious but I'm a bit confused by the first column's numbers and what the guild rank column means... every member of our guild has a 9 in the guild rank column but I saw different numbers on one that you posted in another thread here.
Gorgonis, Aerie Peak, Midnight Fire, US
PS: the thread I saw was about a guild named OMEN on Hellfire.. you posed a picture of their guild list and there were different numbers for each member in the guild rank column.
