Exploring Cultures: Tiffany Vang & Nicole Winters
By Greg Becker
May 3, 2010
During this year's CSB/SJU Festival of Cultures, it was hard to miss first-year students Tiffany Vang and Nicole Winters. One minute they performed together with a Hmong dance group. Later on stage, Tiffany announced student performers before joining audience members who danced to a salsa song by SJU student Valentin Sierra, and Nicole performed a Bollywood dance routine with students from Tibet and Nepal.
The Festival may have provided an outlet for their commitment to exploring the world's cultures, but their exploration began before they arrived on campus.
Growing up in an ethnically diverse St. Paul, Minn. neighborhood, Tiffany struggled to find a balance between her Hmong heritage and being an American.
"Hmong culture is evolving, it's still Hmong, but it is something new that's for us, our generation," Tiffany said. She was also influenced by two long-time friends, SJU student Omar Abdullahi, a Somali and a Muslim, and Cinthya Argueta, a childhood friend whose family was from El Salvador.
"Omar has really influenced me. From him, I learned about the Muslim community, their different sects and how confusing Islam can be. I taught Cinthya about my culture and we started taking salsa classes together; I've been influenced by her culture as well," Tiffany said.
Although Nicole has spent her entire life in Cottage Grove, Minn., her family has travelled throughout the United States and Canada, meeting new people and learning about other cultures. But her learning became personal when she attended a high school summer camp in New York, where she lived with other American and international students.
"It was a starting point for me. I learned a lot about different cultures and learned that although we are different, we all have some similarities. You can still reach out to people and understand them," Nicole said.
New Opportunities
Because of their activities in promoting diversity, Tiffany and Nicole were chosen to participate in the CSB/SJU Intercultural Leadership, Education and Development Fellowship. The program provides support for talented first-generation students to build on their leadership skills.
"It's a great program," said Nicole. "We see each other a lot and hang out with each other. It has helped us to learn about different cultures and it allows students from different backgrounds to come to a great college."
Since coming to college, Tiffany and Nicole have chosen majors that complement their interests in diversity. Tiffany is majoring in peace studies with a minor in philosophy and perhaps a concentration in political science; Nicole is pursuing a double major in humanities and philosophy.
"I like learning about different religions and cultures and why people have conflicts with each other," Tiffany said. "Philosophy has opened my mind! I look at the world totally differently now."
Nicole shares Tiffany's interest in philosophy. "You learn to think outside the box. It's more than my opinion, we learn what other people perceive as well."
While the Festival of Cultures was entertaining, the pair believes that such activities are really educational.
"For me, it's educating people about how to embrace culture, what it means to be Hmong, to be black, to be Somali, because there are big differences," Tiffany said. "People go to an event and have fun but they don't necessarily know what Chinese New Year means. We can do a lot more to further the understanding of diversity and culture."

By now you will have noticed the announcements for Acrobat X — which promises to be a very nice upgrade on the Acrobat and Reader product lines. Acrobat X includes XFA version 3.3. In this blog post I will give you an overview of the new features that have been added to XFA forms.
Designer Version
As usual, LiveCycle Designer is bundled with Acrobat Pro. This Designer is the version that went out with the most recent release of LiveCycle. i.e. this is Designer 9 a.k.a. Designer ES2 — plus some bug fixes. This version of Designer is able to target the features introduced in XFA 3.0 (Acrobat/Reader 9.1). If you need a refresher on exactly what features this includes, your can search for "XFA 3.0" on this blog and you will find them described in some entries back in April 2009.
Perhaps more importantly, this is the version of Designer where we introduced the experimental macro feature — first described here.
In order to target the new XFA features introduced in Acrobat X (XFA 3.3) you will have to wait for a new version of Designer to be released with LiveCycle.
Now on to the new features added to XFA 3.3 / Acrobat X.
Flash in XFA
Probably the most exciting new capability in this release is the ability to embed flash objects in an XFA template. This means your interactive forms may now share their data with charts. You can embed instructional video. You can introduce a slider widget. A new pop-up widget selector dialog. Have fun.
Surprisingly, we did not introduce any new markup to support embedded flash objects. We resurected a part of the grammar that was not in active use: the exObject element. Flash content will be defined in the context of a host field where the ui element is an exObject e.g.:
<field> <ui> <exObject classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codeType="application/x-shockwave-flash" archive="<uri reference to primary SWF resource>"/> </ui> </field>
The rest of the parameters (flashvars, playcount, speed, embedded/windowed, poster, etc.) will be defined as content below the exObject element.
The host field will determine the size and positioning of the flash object (when it's not displayed in a floating window).
If you are embedding flash in PDF today, you save data/state using ExternalInterface:
ExternalInterface.call("multimedia_saveSettingsString", "save to data or formstate"); state = ExternalInterface.call( "multimedia_loadSettingsString" );
For SWFs that are embedded in an XFA form, these calls will save/load the host field data – which will be persisted in the XML form data or form state when the field is not bound.
The XFA object model has 3 new methods:
field.ui.exObject.setState(state) // state is either "activate" or "deactivate"
// call an Actionscript method exposed via ExternalInterface
field.ui.exObject.invoke(methodName, arguments);
ActionScript can call into form JavaScript in this form:
ExternalInterface.call("foo.bar", "parameter 1 data", "parameter 2 data");
This will call the bar() method in the script object "foo" and pass in the two provided parameters.
There are many more details you will want to know about eventually, but these are the basics.
RTL Subforms
In order to provide better support for right-to-left languages (Arabic, Hebrew), subforms may now flow in a right-to-left direction. In addition, subforms and exclusion groups may now also specify a horizontal alignment so that content rendered top-to-bottom can be aligned on the right hand side of the parent subform.
The new grammar to support RTL functionality is on the subform element:
<subform layout="position | tb | lr-tb | rl-tb | table | row | rl-row" colSpan="1" columnWidths="..." hAlign="left | right | center | justify | justifyAll" > ... </subform>
Bulleted and Numbered Lists
The subset of xhtml markup supported in the XFA grammar has been expanded to include the <ol>, <ul> and <li> elements.
XML Encryption
There are now options to leverage the W3C XML encryption standard (http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlenc-core/) with the form data. The form author can choose to encrypt fragments of data or the entire data set.
Forms that submit XML data can encrypt their data before submission so that it is secure until decrypted by the recipient.
Encryption is managed by a new <encryptData> element that can appear below the <event> and <submit> elements.
Restrict Console
Deprecate Legacy Rendering
Ok, this is not an enhancement, but something you ought to be aware of. Forms that are authored with a target version of XFA 3.3 can no longer be rendered with legacy rendering. Legacy rendering will continue to be supported for all previous versions.
Legacy rendering was used to bridge the transition of XFA 2.5 (Acrobat
7, 8) documents forward. Having extended the bridge to Acrobat 8.1, 9.0,
9.1 and 9.2 it is no longer needed for Acrobat 10.
Version Correlation
In case you needed a score card, here is the history of XFA and Acrobat/Reader versions:
|XFA Version
|7.0.1, 7.02
|7.0.5, 7.0.7
|8.1, 8.1.1
|9.1, 9.2, 9.3

Everyday Food in Cambodia – The Newbies Guide
I have touched upon a few aspects of food in Cambodia over the last couple of years but I thought it worth making a specific record of the everyday, generic eats and treats to be had here.
Breakfast: The Khmers' make little distinction between foods served for breakfast, lunch or dinner. My working day starts at 07:00, at around 8 o'clock various staff members here pop out for breakfast; I have gotten into the habit of joining them 2 or 3 times a week. Having tried fish-head soup and noodle soup with pork or beef dumplings, I have settled on what I consider to be the least problematic Khmer breakfast food, which is: Bai Sak Chrook Literally translates as 'Rice with the meat of the pig' and consists of a medium sized pile of rice, on which is placed chopped bacon – very thick slices of bacon, approx a quarter of an inch thick. This is garnished with green tomatoes and slices of cucumber. As accompaniments you are served gherkins/picked veg and a sweet chilli sauce. You also get a small bowl of fish broth flavoured with coriander and spring onions. How you eat this all is down to personal taste, for me, I mix the bacon and rice and add the sweet chilli sauce. The broth is eaten at the end to 'clean the mouth' and to use up any left over rice. Personally I hate gherkins, so I just ignore them!
Lunch: On those occasions when I go out for lunch with the guys from the office, rather than go home. I often have the fish amok. Fish Amok (or Amok Trey) This is generally considered the 'national dish' of Cambodia. However, it comes in two different styles. The usual type is a thin, lightly curried, soup or broth containing medium sized pieces of white fish (whatever is seasonally available), as well as potatoes, carrots and any other seasonally available vegetables. Topped off with a very generous swirl of cream and a big pile of fresh coriander. It is served with steamed rice. The other version that is becoming more popular, is a newer creation originally served only in Khmer restaurants catering to ex-pats. It is a completely different style of dish altogether. Small discs of fish, around an inch and a half in diameter, are served with a thick reduction of the curried sauce spooned on top, each garnished with a sprig of coriander. These bite sized nibbles make a great appetizer and serve as a good introduction to Khmer food for the newly arrived, or tourists.
Dinner: Dining out with my Khmer colleagues is always something of an adventure, as I have mentioned previously. When we [eventually] decide on a restaurant and we [eventually] decide where in the restaurant where we want to sit, several dishes are ordered between us all.
This pot porri of dishes arrive as the dish is cooked and ready, not all at the same time as it does back in the West. A typical selection of dishes would include:
Baked snakehead fish. Snakehead is a large, white fleshed freshwater fish common in Cambodia. Often baked whole [and I mean whole; head, eyes, gills, intestines…] it arrives on a bed of assorted green things.In Cambodia almost nothing goes to waste, so every part of the fish is eaten, excepting the bones…
Pork and Cashew Stir-fry. A very simple dish, often containing seasonal vegetables as well; carrots, spring onions, bok choy, etc
Stir-fried Morning Glory. Morning glory is a semi-aquatic plant, thick green tuberous stems, looking a little like asparagus without the tips, it has a slightly bitter taste, but is one of the few vegetables that are available for most of the year here. It is quite often served topped in oyster sauce, or with prohoc – prohoc is a semi-fermented fish-paste that the Khmers seem to smoother over everything. Its smell can offend at 25 yards and is generally considered to be disgusting by all but the Khmer.
Mango 'slaw. One of my personal favourites, although sadly we are now reaching the end of the mango season. Julienne strips of green mango [not the sweet yellow mango] are marinated in white vinegar, fresh red chillies and sugar. The resulting salad is hot, fiery and refreshing all at the same time. It really refreshes the palate if you have been eating anything greasy or anything covered in prohoc…
Fish and pineapple soup. Towards the end of the main courses arriving, a huge tabletop tureen, complete with its own paraffin burner underneath, will often arrive, this contains a fish and pineapple soup. Eaten at the end of the meal, it serves to make sure that everyone has had enough to eat and that nobody leaves the table still hungry. If you can avoid the fish heads and fisheyes floating around in it, then it is actually a pleasant dish Of course, during the whole of this dining experience, mountains and mountains of rice are being served. If you blink or glance away, your bowl will quickly be topped up with more rice.
Puddings, Desserts or Sweets. Fresh fruit. Very nice, very fresh, fruit, but that is about your lot for traditional Khmer pud !
And the Rest …. Although there is abundant food grown in and is available in Cambodia, a poor transportation infrastructure and the years of civil war and unrest did create many periods where rural areas faced famine conditions.
It was during these periods that some of the more 'unconventional' dishes came into being. The most notable of these being: Deep-fried salted cockroaches Stir-fried locusts and grasshoppers Stir-fried water beetles – N.B. water beetles are around 3 to 4 inches long and 2 wide Battered and deep-fried tarantula – the whole spider, very recognisable! Grilled sparrows on a stick (3 whole birds BBQ'd on a wooden skewer – and when I say whole, I mean whole, feathers, heads, entrails, etc) Grilled frogs on a stick (3 whole frogs BBQ'd on a wooden skewer – again, whole means whole….) Even today all of these dishes are available in the many markets around the country.
Over the last 4 months I have found myself in a couple of situations where it would have been rude to my hosts to not at least try a couple of the dishes above. All I can say is that Deep-fried salted cockroaches taste a lot like dry-roasted peanuts, and that stir-fried locusts just shatter and fall to bits when you eat them, those many legs get stuck between the teeth very easily…. Bon Appetite !!!

TUSCALOOSA | The 2012 University of Alabama football team has never been to Miami Gardens, Fla., home to Sun Life Stadium and the BCS National Championship Game.
TUSCALOOSA | The 2012 University of Alabama football team has never been to Miami Gardens, Fla., home to Sun Life Stadium and the BCS National Championship Game.
This edition has never played Notre Dame before. Alabama has, however, been here before.
Here as in preparing to play for the Bowl Championship Series national title.
Here as in navigating the layoff of more than a month before playing the biggest game of the season.
For the third time in four seasons, the Crimson Tide is going through the process of getting ready to play for the national title. To Alabama players, it has become a familiar routine. UA coach Nick Saban has perfected that process, having won three national championships in his coaching career, and UA players believe having been through it before gives them an edge.
"The way Coach Saban puts it out there, I think it works. It's been working well for us in the past and we're going to keep doing it," senior tight end Michael Williams said.
It starts with what is, essentially, a second version of preseason camp, a rerun of the start of August practice — because that, more than anything, is what the first week of bowl preparation was like. Alabama started practice last Tuesday for its national title showdown with Notre Dame and worked through Saturday. UA players will have a three-day break before returning to campus to enter the next phase of practice.
"It's good to get back into the regular flow of things, get started on the fundamentals, just like we started back in camp. It's just like starting all over again, it's like a one-game season," Williams said.
If you didn't know, preseason camp wouldn't win a popularity poll with players. It is hard and physical, viewed more as a necessity than a joy.
"We understand, going through it last year, how important this week is by itself," senior linebacker Nico Johnson said. "We took it and ran with it and had a good week of practice."
The first week was an exercise in fundamentals – blocking and tackling basics. And while it didn't involve full-on tackling, it serves the purpose of getting players used to hitting and being hit.
"I think it's very important because either coming off the last game of the season (like in 2011) or the SEC championship (game) it's a long time since you've played a game or since you've tackled somebody, so the way we do it I feel like is good because you get to feeling contact," Williams said. "You're not just out there running around and tagging off or something like that. The way we do it, I feel like that contact you have to learn to absorb again – that's why it's like a one-game season."
The next phase, post-Christmas, will involve installation of the game plan until the team departs Jan. 2 for Miami. The final phase will be practices in South Florida.
To veteran Crimson Tide players, there's no difference between Miami, New Orleans (where UA won last year's national championship) and Pasadena, Calif. (site of the 2009 national title game). They will spend far more time in the team hotel and practicing than they will exploring the host city.
After all, wherever the game is played, they've been here before.
"It doesn't matter," Williams said. "We don't do too much anyway. We have our team functions and you have a curfew every night and it's not too much different no matter where you go. Every one I've been to it's almost the same thing every time.
"You're there for one reason. You don't want to be there to party anyway. You go to Miami and you do your job."
Once the game started, Alabama's upperclassmen will have the comfort of having played on the big stage before – in national championship games, this year's Southeastern Conference title game, in highly-hyped regular-season games against LSU the last two seasons.
"I don't think will have that much anxiety about the game," Johnson said. "We'll be able to treat it as another game and go in calm and focused in more on what we have to do.
"And I think we understand what we have to do to win a national championship and we're going to have to do it even more than the first two times because Notre Dame is a danged good team. We're going to have to play our butts off for 60 minutes."

Dear Angie: How much does it cost to have a new toilet installed?
Dear Angie: How much does it cost to have a new toilet installed?
- Susan M., Mount Sinai, N.Y.
Dear Susan: In checking with highly rated plumbers, our researchers find that the average price to install a traditional, homeowner-supplied toilet ranges from $125 to $260.
The price can fluctuate depending on several factors, including whether you want the plumber to haul away the old toilet, whether the toilet has special features and if important plumbing components are in good condition.
Our research team found that a plumber usually requires an hour or two to install a toilet. The process generally includes:
� Turning off and disconnecting the water.
� Repairing the shut-off valve if it's not working properly.
� Draining the old toilet, removing it and inspecting the flange - which connects the toilet to the drainpipe on the floor - to see if repairs are needed.
� Setting the new toilet, connecting the water and testing to make sure the toilet works properly.
Generally included in the installation price are the wax ring - which seals the toilet around the drain - new anchors and a new supply line.
Installing a toilet can be a do-it-yourself project, but be aware that errors can cause floor damage, leaks and other problems that may require a call to a plumber.
Pros tell our team that common DIY mistakes include:
� Resetting a toilet on a damaged flange.
� Inadequate or incorrect caulking.
� Improper compression of the wax seal.
The pricing range mentioned earlier assumes that you supply your own toilet. Often, consumers will buy one from the same company they also hire to do the installation. Or they may buy one separately and hire a plumber to do the install. Either way, it's helpful consumer information to know the costs and aspects of a basic toilet installation.
Before hiring a plumber to install a toilet or do any work in your home, check to confirm appropriate licensing and insurance. Most states require plumbers to be licensed, and it's always a good idea to ensure that a contractor carries adequate liability insurance.
Get a detailed estimate in writing before agreeing to any work, and check that the plumbing work and the parts are covered under warranty. Reputable plumbers will offer a warranty on their installation service.
Also, confirm how long the plumber has been in business and ask for and check references.
Contact Angie Hicks, creator of the Angie's List website, with your question at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Brazil's sports minister has called for an inquiry to find out the "root causes of the disaster" after the 7-1 World Cup semi-final defeat by Germany.
Aldo Rebelo's comments came as Neymar's agent Wagner Ribeiro launched an outburst at Brazil coach Luiz Felipe Scolari calling him "an old jerk, repulsive and conceited".
Scolari is expected to be replaced when Brazil's tournament comes to an end after the third-place play-off with Holland on Saturday, and former Corinthians coach Tite, who led the club to a Copa Libertadores-FIFA Club World Cup double, is the favourite to succeed him.
Rebelo however has called for an inquiry to what has gone wrong with Brazilian football.
The sports minister, who had previously referred to the 1950 final defeat by Uruguay as "national tragedy", told a news conference in Rio de Janeiro: "It's a terrible blemish for Brazilian football because against Germany we have played 12 times and lost only four times.
"We must analyse the root causes of this disaster, learn the lessons and try to correct them so this doesn't happen again, so that Brazil can regain it status in world football."
Rebelo said the 1950 Brazil team were "a constellation of stars" and "much better than what we have today."
Scolari's time with the squad certainly seems to be coming to an abrupt end, and Neymar's agent Ribeiro produced a sarcastic list of "six requirements to be Brazilian coach" on his Twitter account.
These were:
"One - being Portugal Coach and winning nothing."
"Two - going to Chelsea and being sacked the following day."
"Three - going to coach in Uzbekistan."
Four - returning to Brazil, taking over a big team [Palmeiras] and getting them relegated to the second division."
"Five - leaving the club 56 days before the end of the Brasileirao [season] to 'escape' the relegation.
"Six - being an old jerk, arrogant, repulsive, conceited and ridiculous."
Scolari's insistence that his squad were "still developing" and that most would be in the 2018 World Cup is not borne out by the facts.
Out of the current Brazil squad, only five the 23 players will be under 30 in 2018, while 14 of the current Germany squad will still be in their 20s.
Tite is viewed as Scolari's most likely replacement, with Sao Paulo coach Muricy Ramalho and former Brazil and Real Madrid manager Vanderlei Luxemburgo also in the running.
Scolari has continued to insist his record was something to be proud of, telling a news conference on Wednesday:"It's the first time we reached a semi-final since 2002 so maybe our work wasn't so bad.
In a year and a half together we played 28 games and won 19, drew six and lost three.
"In official games we won eight, drew two and lost this one - okay, catastrophically. But this episode is over now. We must look forward.
"We have a commitment with the CBF (Brazilian FA) until the end of the World Cup.
"It is only after this we will talk with the direction of the CBF, that's when we will decide."
Sorry we are not currently accepting comments on this article.

MILTON -- Police today released the identifies of the drivers involved in a fatal, two-vehicle accident in snowy conditions on Route 125 here on Wednesday afternoon.
According to police, Monique Smith, 76, of Main Street in Union, was heading northbound in snowy conditions on Route 125 when she lost control of the red Ford Taurus she was driving. Smith's vehicle collided with a southbound Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck being driven by Richard Stuart, 50, also of Main Street in Union.
Smith was pronounced dead at the scene, but police say Stuart was transported to Frisbie Memorial Hospital with serious injuries suffered in the accident.
Milton police are still investigating the incident, with assistance from the Strafford County Regional Technical Accident Reconstruction team.
Milton Fire Chief Nick Marique said that firemen found Smith's body trapped in the Taurus when they arrived at the scene but did not extricate it until a state medical examiner arrived.
Milton Police Cpl. Evan Favorite said Wednesday that the cause of the incident was determined by interviewing witnesses at the scene. The red Ford Taurus sustained heavy damage to the side of the vehicle, while the pickup truck had extensive front-end damage.
The accident forced the area of Route 125 near the New Hampshire Farm Museum to be closed to traffic for more than four hours Wednesday as the technical accident reconstruction team investigated the collision.
Frisbie Memorial Hospital paramedics responded to the scene, and Wakefield Fire and Rescue Department was on scene to provide additional manpower, said Marique.

Product Description
XANTHAN GUM Overview Information:
Xanthan gum is a sugar-like compound made by mixing aged (fermented) sugars with a certain kind of bacteria. It is used to make medicine.
Xanthan gum is used for lowering blood sugar and total cholesterol in people with diabetes. It is also used as a laxative.
Xanthan gum is sometimes used as a saliva substitute in people with dry mouth (Sjogren's syndrome).
In manufacturing, xanthan gum is used as a thickening and stabilizing agent in foods, toothpastes, and medicines. Xanthan gum is also an ingredient in some sustained-release pills.
How does it work?
Xanthan gum swells in the intestine, which stimulates the digestive tract to push stool through. It also might slow the absorption of sugar from the digestive tract and work like saliva to lubricate and wet the mouth in people who don't produce enough saliva.
XANTHAN GUM Uses & Effectiveness:
Possibly Effective for:
- Use as a bulk-forming laxative to treat constipation.
- Lowering blood sugar in people with diabetes.
- Lowering cholesterol levels in people with diabetes.
- Use as a saliva substitute for dry mouth.
XANTHAN GUM Side Effects & Safety
Xanthan gum is safe when up to 15 grams per day are taken. It can cause some side effects such as intestinal gas (flatulence) and bloating.
People who are exposed to xanthan gum powder might experience flu-like symptoms, nose and throat irritation, and lung problems.
Special Precautions & Warnings:
Pregnancy and breast-feeding: Not enough is known about the use of xanthan gum during pregnancy and breast-feeding. Stay on the safe side and avoid using amounts larger than those normally found in foods.
Nausea, vomiting, appendicitis, hard stools that are difficult to expel (fecal impaction), narrowing or blockage of the intestine, or undiagnosed stomach pain: Do not use xanthan gum if you have any of these conditions. It is a bulk-forming laxative that could be harmful in these situations.
Surgery: Xanthan gum might lower blood sugar levels. There is a concern that it might interfere with blood sugar control during and after surgery. Stop using xanthan gum at least 2 weeks before a scheduled surgery.
XANTHAN GUM Interactions
Moderate Interaction Be cautious with this combination
- Medications for diabetes (Antidiabetes drugs) interacts with XANTHAN GUM
Xanthan gum might decrease blood sugar by decreasing the absorption of sugars from food. Diabetes medications are also used to lower blood sugar. Taking xanthan gum with diabetes medications might cause your blood sugar to be too low. Monitor your blood sugar closely. The dose of your diabetes medication might need to be changed.
Some medications used for diabetes include glimepiride (Amaryl), glyburide (DiaBeta, Glynase PresTab, Micronase), insulin, pioglitazone (Actos), rosiglitazone (Avandia), chlorpropamide (Diabinese), glipizide (Glucotrol), tolbutamide (Orinase), and others.
XANTHAN GUM Dosing
The following doses have been studied in scientific research:
The World Health Organization (WHO) has set the maximum acceptable intake for xanthan gum as a food additive at 10 mg/kg per day and as a laxative at 15 grams per day. For safety and effectiveness, bulk laxatives such as xanthan gum require extra fluids.
- For diabetes: a typical dose is 12 grams per day as an ingredient in muffins.
- Medications for diabetes (Antidiabetes drugs) interacts with XANTHAN GUM

Texas is back in court in the nation's capital. Once again it's a case alleging racial discrimination in voting laws.
The Beaumont school district will not have a planned election in May, as the Circuit Court in the nation's capital agreed to hear a case on whether the election violates the Voting Rights Act.
"There will be no election in May," Judge Ellen Huelle said, a member of the three-judge panel hearing the case. "You're going to have an election in November for sure," she said later.
The court will begin hearing evidence May 1, starting with lawyers from the current school board candidates presenting their case. The judges will then rule on whether new candidates can be eligible to run and on the district map.
The Beaumont Independent School District (BISD) had scheduled elections for May 11, but the Department of Justice intervened based on section five of the 1968 Voting Rights Act, which requires states with a history of discrimination to pre-clear any changes to election laws.
The Justice Department felt BISD's May election discriminated against minority groups in the city, and won a court ordered injunction on the election.
Two points were at issue according to the Justice Department. Three of the school board districts were majority black and represented by minority board members. An election in May would mean they would only be serving a two-year term, instead of four years. Further, the BISD only announced elections for three other districts in May. The minority incumbents did not seek reelection, and did not qualify as candidates when BISD announced their seats would be up for election in May.
However, candidates are running for those seats—ones that have run previously. According to the Justice Department, these candidates have failed to ever win more than 11 percent of black voters in the past. These candidates would have run unopposed.
According to the hearing, BISD can decide itself whether to hold elections for all seven candidates or only for the three that were not disputed by the Justice Department.
Chad Dunn, a lawyer for BISD, said during the trial that the board would likely decide to run only three races, as staggered school board races was the original election system. A change would require Department of Justice approval.
Despite losing the May election date, board candidates remained upbeat. Michael Getz, a lawyer representing the school board candidates who were running unopposed in May were confident the court would agree with their arguments after seeing the evidence.
"We consider this a win," Getz said after the hearing.
A fourth district that is majority white is also among those that would have had its term shortened to two years by the May election.
Matt Angle, from the Democratic political research group Lone Star Project, said the case is a microcosm of discriminatory politics seen in Texas.
"You're seeing an absolute fear of the prospect of facing minority voters from Gov. Perry down to local school boards," Angle said in a phone interview.
Angle said that some school board issues have created legitimate disgruntlement, but was upset that politicians have taken the opportunity to make it a racial issue.

Tim Berners-Lee talks on his TEDtalk about how he originated the World Wide Web. The memo he wrote about it was read by his boss (who after his boss's death was found to have the words "Vague but exciting" written on it). I'm thinking of adopting that as one of my own taglines because of the amount of ideas I propose and receive little interest and even less understanding. (I'm not saying my own ideas are of Tim Berners-Lee's scale of impact.)
It was a grassroots movement that launched the Web and it was this community that excited Tim. He asked people to put their documents onto the Web, and people did. In his words, "It's been a blast." Now he asks us all to put our Data onto the Web.
He refers to Hans Rosling, who also says that it's important to have a lot of data available. I'd previously seen Hans Rosling's TEDtalk and also his presentation on a BBC television programme. Tim is going further, however, with his concept of Linked Data, where everybody is putting everything on the web, and therefore virtually everything you could image is on the web. He asks for three things to be observed in this process:
- Everything has a http 'name' – events, products, things, people, etc.
- When someone fetches something with a http name it returns some standard data (information) in a format that people will find useful – something about the event, that person, etc.
- The data returned shows relationships; importantly the data has relationships and these related data also carry http names that allow them to be looked up, etc.
Google, Microsoft and Yahoo have agreed to use standardized formats for data as outlined at Schema.org
Another interesting phrase to come out of the videos is 'Database Hugging', coined by Hans. Tim demonstrated it as though he was actually hugging something with his arms. The idea is that people, governments, institutions don't want to release their data until they've created a lovely website to display it. Tim says, by all means make a beautiful website, but first give us the unadulterated data, emphasized with the chanted phrase – 'Raw Data Now'.
'Linked Data' useful links:
- Material by Tim on this topic of Linked Data:
- Linked Data – http://www.w3.org/DesignIssues/LinkedData.html
- Slides from the TEDTalk (use arrow keys to scroll through) – http://www.w3.org/2009/Talks/0204-ted-tbl/
- Wikipedia entry for Linked Data
- Linked Open Data – The Essentials (pdf)
The site that draws together useful information about Linked Data is linkeddata.org
There you'll find, amongst other things:
- Guides and Tutorials
- Key Reference Documents
- Textual Guides/Tutorials
- Video Tutorials
- Introductory Slide Sets
- Frequently Asked Questions
- Tools
- Linked Data Publishing Platforms/Frameworks
- Linked Data/RDF Editors and Validators
- Tools for Consuming Linked Data
- Linked Data Applications for End Users
A point that Tim makes in his video at t=11m30s is about the sharing of data to enable Open Science activities to occur, which links in nicely to the previous topic in the Openness in Education course about Open Science.
Tim Berners-Lee returns to do a short TEDtalk 'updating' the situation with Open Data:
It is interesting to see that over this time we have witnessed more of a willingness by governments in areas across the world to share data openly in what has become know as Open Government or 'opengov'. So in the US you have sites like the one in the topic readings, and in the UK you have ones including data.gov.uk from HM Government; a BBC interview with Tim Berners-Lee on the project that brought about data.gov.uk is available.
Areas of the media are making it easier and more convenient to use open data and allow individuals to interrogate and interpret the data to provide useful information to them. Examples being The New York Times in the US and The Guardian in the UK (which enables questions to be asked of government data from around the world). The Guardian also has a section online that is dedicated to the journalistic use of open data, called the Data Store.

Most scientists believe that birds evolved from small therapod dinosaurs. The key step was the development of feathers, turning animals that could walk or climb into animals that could fly. In today's post, Dr. Bakker discusses the evolution of a key feature of Archaeopteryx, the first dinosaur to be discovered with preserved feathers.
Lizard Paws to Chicken Fingers
320 million years ago – the first reptiles evolve, the earliest vertebrates that can lay air-breathing eggs on land. Legs are sprawling and flat-footed. The front paws have five fingers, all with claws.
250 million years ago – the first archosaurs evolve, the close kin of crocodiles and birds. Legs are more upright but still flat-footed. The hands have only three claws. The outer two fingers are thin and claw-less.
225 million years ago – the first dinosaurs evolve. Legs are upright and the heel held high, off the ground. The outer two fingers are weak.
160 million years ago – the earliest raptor-like dinosaurs evolve. The outer fingers are gone. Hind-legs are used for running and ankles are tall and thin. The three clawed fingers are long. And there's a swivel joint on the wrist to let the hand move quickly side-to-side.
150 million years ago – Archaeopteryx evolves. Hind legs are like those of raptor-type dinosaurs. The hand is almost exactly like a raptor-dinosaur's.
110 million years ago – the first modern-style birds evolve. Hind-legs have stiff ankle bones, all fused together. The wrist bones too are all fused together and no fingers have claws.

April 1, 2011
Santa Barbara, Calif. - Coming off a playoff clinching win against UC San Diego on Thursday night, Gaucho morale was high entering Friday night's match against MPSF foe UC Irvine. However, the Gauchos ended up on the short end of the match, falling to the Anteaters by a score of 3-1 (27-29, 25-18, 25-19, 25-14). This was all despite a career night from senior outside hitter Jeff Menzel, who recorded a season-high 24 kills on the night, and a dramatic first-set win that ended up being the high point for the Gauchos, who would go on to drop three straight games. The loss dropped UCSB to a 13-11 record, 10-8 in the MPSF. With the win, UC Irvine leapfrogs the Gauchos for fifth place in the conference with an 11-8 conference record, 15-11 overall.
The first game of the match was about as equal as two teams can play each other: there were 24 ties and 10 lead changes in the game. It seemed like every glance at the scoreboard revealed a tie game. UC Irvine led as late as 27-26, but a Jeff Menzel service ace and an emphatic, game-clinching kill from Cullen Irons highlighted a three point, "from behind" rally by the Gauchos. Menzel had an especially impressive set, recording nine of his eventual 24 kills in the game. Sophomore middle blocker Dylan Davis chipped in four blocks for the game.
It was all downhill from there for the Gauchos, as the Anteaters dominated the second game. UC Irvine held the lead at all points of the frame. The UC Irvine offense was epitomized by a pair of aces from Carson Clark, who chipped in four of his 19 kills in the second set.
The third set saw more of the same for the Gauchos, as UCSB managed to hit just .167 as a team for the frame. In contrast, the Anteaters hit a sky-high .435 for the set and .390 for the match. Menzel and senior libero Andy McGuire provided much needed effort for the Gauchos: Menzel reached his season high for kills in the game when his sixth kill of the game gave him 19 kills, eclipsing his old season-high of 18, while McGuire came through with five of his match-high 14 digs in the game. Senior opposite Cullen Irons recorded four kills for the third consecutive set, he finished with 13.
The clinching fourth set saw the Gauchos muster only 14 points for the game. Menzel was still able to rack up five more kills, finishing the night with 24. Menzel also finished with eight digs, just one of his season-high of nine. The Gauchos' team hitting percentage dropped each game from the first set onward- a respectable first game clip of .345 became just .143 in the fourth set.
Next week, the Gauchos play host to MPSF rivals from the north- Pacific and Stanford. The match against Stanford on Friday night will be the last regular season home match for much of the Gauchos' squad.
To purchase tickets, please call (805) 893-UCSB, visit the Ticket Office located inside the Intercollegiate Athletics building on campus or buy online and print at home by clicking here.

KFC 'emergency chairs' by BBH
BBH has created a new TV campaign for KFC, which carries the new brand strapline 'so good'.
The ad centres on an extended family getting together for a summer lunch in the garden with KFC food.
The ad, which was shot in South Africa, was directed by award-winning director and documentary maker Benito Montorio. It follows the family members searching for extra seats. As more people arrive, makeshift emergency chairs including beanbags, are found.
The ad was created by Harry Orton & Robin Warman. The production company was Blink.

So you have a custom car with an outdated system and want to upgrade the radio; easy, right? It's just the radio. Let's look at this from an installer's perspective for a minute. When you have a source unit with multiple audio and video inputs and outputs, the change is not as simple as you might think. There are a lot of wires transferring the audio and video signals to their respective processors, and nine times out of 10 these cables were routed to the processor's brain in such a way that rerouting is more difficult than running new cables.
A clean installation involves clean tight wire runs so these cables are not orientated in a way that makes them easy to move. So one major challenge is finding out exactly where the wires were ran and if they can be moved. If not, then be prepared to buy new ones and have your entire car ripped apart for the re-installation of the new wires.
So when you think of your radio retrofit how much time did you allow for reconnaissance? No, this not a covert military operation, but even the installer who put the stuff in may not always remember exactly where he put the modules. So even though you might think that ripping out the old radio and putting in the new one should only take a hour, don't forget the time of taking apart major panels of your interior, and looking for the important components that have to be removed or reconfigured. Things like EQs, triggering devices and even video monitor source units may need to be accessed and modified when adding a new radio.
The moral of this story is don't underestimate the complication of an electrical component retrofit. Yes, you have a radio in there now; yes, you have wires in there now, but it doesn't mean that will work with the new unit or configuration that your new unit brings. Just follow along and we'll show you.

The Metropolitan Opera's Manon
Anna Netrebko stars
Laurent Pelly's staging of Manon took Covent Garden by storm when it played in 2010. The production now comes from the Met in New York with Anna Netrebko in the lead role. Alongside her, tenor Piotr Beczala plays an intense Chevalier des Grieux.
Manon and Des Grieux run away together to Paris, but she soon betrays him for a life of luxury with the wealthy Brétigny. Surrounded by riches and showered in attention from admirers Manon becomes the toast of the town.
However, she soon hears of her former lover's decision to take holy orders and rushes to him. He has grown cold towards her, but eventually his resolve is broken and they run away together once more.
It doesn't end well though – Manon is deported for charges of immorality and dies of consumption in her lover's arms.

You will need:
A pair of knit gloves (I purchased mine at Target. They currently sell 2 pair for $2.00. Michael's also sells them. ** 12/8/11 2 pair for $1 at Dollar Tree*** 11/26/11 Walmart for $1.40 for 2 pair-deal!***
2 Matching Iron-On Rhinestones Designs. I used Tattoo inc. brand from Michael's. Get the smaller size to fit the gloves. (approx. $1.99)
Embellishments (optional) : Charms, Buttons, Ribbon, Chain link. I used Beads Landing, and Jewelry essential charms. You can find them at Michaels and Create For Less. Etsy also has great charms.
Needle & Thread If You Want to Embellish (optional) in color to match gloves (or monofilament thread)
Let's Get Started:
Follow the instructions on the Iron On Rhinestone package.
My tips:
Be very careful peeling the sheet from the packaging. If a rhinestone comes loose you can put it back on individually.
Lay the design down lightly so it doesn't stick to the glove and line up where you'd like it.
Gently rub the design into the glove so it sticks. The packaging says to iron the material first so the fabric is warm.
This is an easy mistake to make. Make sure the thumbs point in so you don't mistakenly iron one on the wrong side of the glove. If you do you will have to go back and buy another pair to get the opposite hand.
Use a tissue over the iron-on and your iron on medium heat. The iron-on says to use high heat but these are acrylic cheap gloves and too high of heat will melt the material. I could tell on high heat it was looking shiny so I backed off.
Rhinestone Iron-Ons are tempermental. As you pull back if any stones don't adhere lay the design back down and iron again.
If you have just one or two loose stones not sticking make sure they are facing the correct way (glue side down) as they can get flipped over.
Use the pointy end of the iron to get to those one or two stones not adhering.
Now that you are done with the Iron-On you can decide if you want them more embellished. If so find cute charms to match the theme of your Iron-On.
Remove Jump ring on Charms. Make sure you attach to the actual charm and not the jump ring. The thread may work its way through the jump ring.
Attach charms, and buttons to the gloves with needle and thread.
Like a little bling, just attach one charm on each side of the glove near the wrist. Like a lot of bling, add buttons and chains with the charms. At $1.00 a pair you can go crazy with the embellishing and they will still be a great deal.
I can pretty much guarantee if you make these gloves for the teen girls in your life they will love them. I think the Mom's just might want a pair too.

Basel have set the Europa League alight this year with their exciting style of play, reminiscent of the way Athletic Bilbao did in last year's competition.
Europe's giants such as Manchester United could do far worse than look at some of the Swiss team's players when they go hunting for fresh talent in the summer.
In this season's Europa League they have already seen off Zenit St. Petersburg, Sporting Lisbon and Tottenham.
With an array of midfield talent such as Valentin Stocker, Fabian Frei and Cabral - all of whom are 24 - and Egyptian pair Mohamed Salah and Mohamed Elneny - both 20 - Basel are top of their domestic league.
Fabian Schar, 21, has three goals in his 10 games so far - not bad for a centre-back.
They helped to put Manchester United out of the Champions League at the group stage last season, and if they can keep their team together, which seems somewhat unlikely, who knows how far they can go.
Salah has four assists in the 11 Europa League games so far, whilst Stocker has three goals and one assist in his 10 appearances.
Other young Basel stars include 'keeper Yann Sommer, who is only 24, and Austrian defender Aleksandar Dragovic, 22.
Philipp Degen, at 30, is one of the veterans of the team who Liverpool fans will remember from his less than successful time there, as is striker Marco Streller at 31.
Streller is top scorer with four goals in his eight games in the competition so far.
Even losing last season's star player Xherdan Shakiri to Bayern Munich does not seem to have halted their progress.
One thing's for sure: Basel's Europa League semi-final opponents Chelsea will not be treating the Swiss outfit lightly.
Swiss football seems to be on the rise at the moment, with their national team topping their World Cup qualifying group and looking set for Brazil in 2014.
Perhaps some of Europe's giants such as United will start to take note.

Facebook friend donates kidney, saves woman's life
Forrest Sanders | 12/3/2013, 6:13 a.m.
NASHVILLE, TN (WSMV) Some say Facebook friend lists are made up of people not very close at all, but all it took was a status update for a grade school classmate to step up and save a woman's life.
A woman has just left Vanderbilt after a successful kidney transplant all thanks to a Facebook friendship.
"She could've spent yesterday having Thanksgiving with her family, but she sat in a room trying to get over nausea, headache and terrible pains to help me," said kidney recipient Melanie Moore.
A diabetic, Moore was told five years ago she was in kidney failure.
"My surgeon told me, 'You've got to find a donor,'" said Moore. "'You may not have the 4 1/2 years it's going to take to be on the list.'"
Moore posted her search for that donor as a status on Facebook. Former classmate Latrice Sharpe, who hadn't seen Moore in person for years, clicked to reply.
"She said, 'I don't want you to think I'm crazy, but two years ago God told me I would be donating something to somebody and saving their life,'" said Moore. "She said, 'I struggled with it for two years wondering who that could be, and I think it's you.'"
"I've been called angel and hero, and I don't really see myself as that," said Sharpe. "I saw where I could actually make a difference."
The kidney transplant at Vanderbilt was a success, and Moore stopped by the hospital room down the hall to lock Sharpe in an embrace before she left.
"You are a great person," Moore told Sharpe. "Your family's lucky to have you, and I'm so lucky to have you. You mean the world to me."
"This has been the best Thanksgiving ever, and she's the most precious gift," said Moore

|Handsome Dan X
Owned by Mr. and Mrs. John Sanders and purchased from the Bayside Kennels of Boxford, Massachusetts, through funds provided by the Football Y Association. He was 18 months old and was almost identical to Handsome Dan IX (white and light fawn markings). His name was Bayside Woodnought and sired by Ch. Bonny Boy of Fearnought out of Woodside's Christie Lou, and was a grandson of the famed Kippax Fearnought, the celebrated English import, who went Best in Show in 1954 at Westminster. At home, Dan was called Woodie or sometime Boodnick (beatnik bulldog) and loved to romp with the Sanders children. He was fawn color and weighed exactly 74 pounds. He started his assignment as the Yale mascot in 1959 and at the end of the first five football games was the only undefeated, untied and unscored upon mascot in the nation. He was on hand the following season when Yale had a perfect 9-0 record, its first undefeated, untied campaign in 37 years. On August 13, 1960, he was crowned Best Bulldog and 4th in the non-sporting competition at the Cape Cod Kennel Club. He was also well trained for his grueling fray that throughout the football season, he stood stock still in his most flattering pose, even after Yale touchdowns. Efforts by cheerleaders to restore his friskiness did not avail. He passed away of old age on October 21, 1971.

Kelli in North Dakota says one of her neighbors plastered the entire building with these notes, directed to a certain wannabe baseball player/bull rider/oral cancer patient.
(Some not-so-fun facts: At 15.3%, North Dakota has the second-highest rate in the country of tobacco-chewing high schoolers. Among North Dakotan adult males, about 1 in 10 chews.)
Meanwhile, here in Texas, submitter Katie is unsure whether her neighbors' cars are being pelted with the likes of Copenhagen or queso. (In Texas, it really could go either way.)

2018 Postseason Terms and Conditions
This Non-Renewable, Revocable Ticket License (the "License") offered by the New York Yankees Partnership (the "Yankees") to Licensee is subject to the terms and conditions set forth on the back of each Ticket (as defined below) and the terms and conditions set forth below (collectively, the "Terms and Conditions"). The License is limited to applicable postseason home games scheduled to be played in Yankee Stadium (the "Stadium") during the current Major League Baseball ("MLB") postseason (the "Game(s)") that are identified on the front of this invoice ("Invoice"). Receipt by the Yankees of any payment under this Invoice constitutes Licensee's acceptance of the License pursuant to the Terms and Conditions. As used herein, "Ticket" means any ticket purchased pursuant to this Invoice, which Ticket only permits the bearer the right to: (a) enter the publicly-accessible areas of the Stadium at times determined by the Yankees; (b) attend the Game identified on the ticket; and (c) sit in the seat location identified on the Ticket. Each Ticket represents a separate License.
1. LOST OR STOLEN TICKETS: Lost Tickets: Tickets are valuable items and the Yankees recommend that you keep them in a secure place. Lost Tickets can be replaced only under the conditions set forth by the Yankees' management and ONLY to the Licensee. If Tickets are lost, left at home or an incorrect Ticket is presented for admission, the Licensee will be required to purchase replacement Tickets to cover the missing Tickets. In addition, a non-refundable Five Dollar ($5.00) per Ticket processing fee will be charged for each replacement Ticket. Stolen Tickets: Tickets that are reported stolen are replaced without charge only when an official police report is presented to the Yankees Ticket Office. Once replaced, Tickets will not be replaced if lost or stolen.
2. RESALE OF TICKET(S): Any direct or indirect sale, resale, auction, assignment or transfer (collectively, "resale") must be done in accordance with applicable law. Any resale in violation of applicable law will constitute a material breach of the License. Any attempt by two (2) or more persons to gain admission to a Game with both the cancelled Ticket and the reissued Ticket will constitute a material breach of this License. New York State law currently prohibits the resale of any Ticket(s) within one thousand five hundred (1,500) feet from the physical structure of the Stadium (including any building or other structure at which Tickets are offered for first sale to the public) under penalty of law. Tickets may not be used for advertising, promotions of any kind (e.g., self-promotions, product promotions, ticket promotions, business promotions and/or commercial promotions) or any other commercial purposes, including, without limitation, contests, auctions, sweepstakes and giveaways, without the express written consent of the Yankees. The use of any Ticket or any commercial or other business transaction involving any Ticket in violation of this License shall be deemed a material breach of this License, regardless of whether the Licensee had knowledge of such use or transaction. The use of the Ticket is the sole responsibility of the Licensee, who shall remain absolutely and unconditionally responsible for any violations of the License. Accordingly, the Licensee should control and supervise the use of all Ticket(s) so that the License is not violated and the License is not materially breached. The Yankees reserve the right to investigate violations and/or alleged violations of the License. The failure of the Licensee or any person in possession of the Ticket(s) to cooperate with any investigation constitutes a material breach of this License.
3. RAINOUTS/POSTPONEMENTS: If any Game is officially rained out or postponed, please pay attention for important rescheduling information including date, time or any other particulars:
(a) in local newspapers; (b) on the YES NETWORK, WPIX, WCBS 880 AM and WFAN 660 AM; and (c) on the Yankees website at www.yankees.com. MAKE SURE YOU KEEP YOUR ENTIRE TICKET. Should a Game not be played or not progress to or beyond a point of play constituting a regulation game under Official Baseball Rule 4.10 after the Ticket holder has been admitted to the Stadium, a RAIN CHECK with a coupon attached will admit the Ticket holder to the Game on such rescheduled date or dates, if any, as may be announced in the sole discretion of the Office of the Commissioner of Baseball. No part of the purchase price will be refunded by reason of the failure of the Ticket holder to use the RAIN CHECK and attached coupon on such rescheduled or resumed date or dates. In the event that any Game is not played to completion, as defined by MLB, or is rescheduled, the Ticket that bears that Game's number (i.e., Wild Card Home Game, American League Division Series Home Game 1, Home Game 2, Home Game 3, American League Championship Series Home Game 1, Home Game 2, Home Game 3, Home Game 4 or applicable World Series Game) is to be used for the next Game scheduled to be played at the Stadium. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE YANKEES BE LIABLE TO THE LICENSEE AND/OR TICKET HOLDER FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OR FOR LOST PROFITS, REVENUES OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES EVEN IF THE YANKEES HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
(a) LICENSEES: The amount paid for Tickets for an unplayed Game scheduled to be played at the Stadium (i.e., a Game that is scheduled to be played but is not played because the applicable postseason series concludes prior to the date set forth on the face of the Ticket; each an "Unplayed Game" and, collectively, the "Unplayed Games") will be AUTOMATICALLY APPLIED to the Licensee's Ticket Account for the upcoming MLB regular season unless the Licensee cancels his/her Ticket Account prior to the processing of the refund or the Licensee elects the Refund Option set forth on the front of this Invoice. REFUNDS WILL BE ISSUED ONLY TO THE LICENSEE OF RECORD VIA THE SAME METHOD AS THE POSTSEASON PAYMENT WAS MADE BY THE LICENSEE. DO NOT return Tickets for Unplayed Games to the Yankees - these Tickets have no cash value. Please allow 4-6 weeks for refund processing.
(b) MLB and BROADCAST PARTNERS' TICKETS: Tickets issued through MLB's office and through MLB's broadcast partners' offices - marked "MLB" on the front of the Ticket - will receive an automatic refund for any Unplayed Games; such Tickets SHOULD NOT be returned to the Yankees and have no cash value.
5. CLUB MEMBERSHIPS: Licensees who received memberships for the MLB regular season for the Audi Yankees Club and the Pepsi Lounge (the "Clubs") will have "Club Access" printed on their Ticket(s). Accordingly, and subject to occupancy restrictions, such Licensees will be able to access the Clubs during the Game to which their Ticket grants admission.

The bearer of the Ticket assumes all risk and danger incidental to the sport of baseball and all warm ups, practices and competitions associated with baseball (but not exclusively) the danger of being injured by thrown bats, fragments thereof, and thrown or batted balls and agrees that neither the Yankees, the State and City of New York and their various Agencies, Departments and Subdivisions, the Office of the Commissioner of Baseball, MLB Enterprises, Inc., MLB Properties, Inc., Baseball Television, Inc., MLB Advanced Media, L.P., the Major League Clubs nor any of their respective agents, players, officers, employees and owners shall be liable for injuries or loss of personal property resulting from such causes.

In addition, the bearer of a Ticket shall further acknowledge and agree that by entering the Stadium, he/she hereby consents to the ban on foul/abusive language and obscene/indecent clothing and waives, to the fullest extent he/she may legally and effectively do so, any objection which he/she may now or hereafter have to such ban and the penalties that MLB and/or the Yankees may impose for any violation of the same.
(c) Placing, dropping, tossing or hurling any substance or object in the Stadium is a crime punishable by fine and/or imprisonment as well as a civil penalty of up to $5,000. In addition, entering the playing field, disrupting a Game and/or attempting any physical contact with a Game participant, including the umpires, is a crime punishable by fine and/or imprisonment as well as a civil penalty of up to $25,000. Violators will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Violation of any of the foregoing by Licensee or any person using a Ticket, as determined by the Yankees or MLB, as applicable, may lead to the revocation of the License and termination of the Ticket Account.
(a) Tickets are the property of MLB and are issued at the sole discretion of the Office of the Commissioner and the Yankees.
