The Philadelphia Ceili Group (pronounced "Kay-Lee") – a non-profit, 501-c-3 organization, founded in 1958 to preserve and promote Irish music, dance and culture, will present the 38th Annual Traditional Irish Music and Dance Festival Thursday, Sept. 6, through Saturday, Sept. 8, at Philadelphia's "Irish Center", a.k.a. The Commodore Barry Club, Carpenter Lane and Emlen Streets in West Mt. Airy.
On Thursday, Sept. 6, 8 p.m., there will be a night of song with some of the best singers of Irish songs in the region such as Marian Makins, Matt Ward, Rosaleen McGill, and others. Hosted by Gabriel Donohue. This Thursday night concert is dedicated to local singer/musician and long-time festival chairman and Mt. Airy resident, Frank Malley.
Friday night, Sept. 7, starting at 8 p.m., will feature a Ceili dance with live music by the McGillians & Friends, one of the best Ceili bands in the tri-state area. Additionally, Sean Tyrrell's one-man show, "Who Killed James Joyce," will take place in the Fireside Room. Sean has taken many works of Ireland's greatest poets and set them to music.
Saturday, Sept. 8, will kick off at 11 a.m. with the John Kelly Session and instrumental workshops at all levels for all ages offered by world-class musicians. Additionally, there will be workshops in singing both in Irish and English, Irish language, genealogy, St. Brigid's cross-making and much more. Due to the generosity of funders, free workshops will be offered to PCG members. There will be live music provided by local musicians and singers such as Brendan Callahan, John McGillian, Tom O'Malley and Deb Shebish and demonstrations by local dance groups, activities for the kids including facepainting, and Irish fairy tales.
Irish product vendors and food will be available throughout the day. Saturday's 7 p.m. concert opens with Paddy Keenan, piper extraordinaire, and features Dé Danann (named after the legendary Irish tribe, Tuatha Dé Danann), originally established in Galway in the mid 1970s, who will be returning for the first time in 25 years. The band has re-formed under the direction of founding members Alec Finn and Johnny "Ringo" McDonagh. Joining Finn and McDonagh will be past members Eleanor Shanley, Mick Conneely, Derek Hickey and Brian McGrath. Dé Danann was once described as "the Rolling Stones of Irish Traditional Music."
The Ceili Group began in 1958 when a group of young Irish immigrants and Irish-American ceili and step dancers gathered at The Commodore Barry Club to formally promote Irish music, dance and culture.
The annual festival began in 1975, when founders of the Ceili Group decided that our local Irish music and dance talent should be shared with a larger audience and in a larger setting than just the Friday night ceilis. In a short time, the Ceili Group Festival was featuring many of the finest Irish performers from around the world. It became the largest-attended one-day Irish festival in this country and then expanded to a three-day festival in recent years.

I don't know what's more pathetic about this whole Anthony Weiner fiasco. Help me choose: Is it because he's just the latest dude in a position of power and notoriety to submerge himself in controversy for the oldest, most tired reason ever? (He can expect a "thank you for taking the heat off me" note from Arnold Schwarzenegger any day now, huh?)
Is it because we're really wondering who in the h-e-double hockey sticks wanted to see his man parts in the first place?
Or is it because he first adamantly denied doing it, insisted his account had been hacked, and then proceeded to poke (sorry) stab (dangit!) make (there we go) fun at his incredibly appropriate last name, essentially proving him not only a colossal fibber but a cheater, too?
Decisions, decisions…
Folks on both sides of the political fence are calling for the latest poster child of American scandal to call it quits, bag it up, and scuttle from his position. To do what, I don't know. Kinda hard to get another job when you've got a real memorable name plus a whole lotta brouhaha attached to it. Like Monica Lewinsky. She's not just sliding her resume across anybody's desk and expecting not to get a rise out of the person on the receiving end.
Weiner, of course, has refused to step aside and decided instead that a little downtime with a professional who helps sexual deviants stop being sexual deviants will hopefully rescue his career. I personally don't think the man should resign. Heck, if all the politicians, major decision-makers, and movers and shakers who had been caught up in some hanky panky were to relinquish their posts, we'd have to shave the House down to like 7 members and hold elections every 15 years just to wrangle together some qualified candidates. And let's not even talk about what a ghosttown Hollywood and professional sports arenas would be.
(Oh, and the golf course. Hey Tiger!)
Though he should be 50 times too smart to fall into the same trap as so many who have been smited before him, Weiner was sucked into that cyberspace buffer zone that seems to give folks the feeling that what they're saying and doing will stay anonymous, that overarching invincibility of being online that makes a lot of men seem to think that sexting and other forms of digital courtship don't qualify as inappropriate because there's no actual physical contact. A little ego-boosting flirtation can get amped up to a full-out smut fest so long as there's no flesh-on-flesh contact.
Let me make this Tiffany crystal clear in case my boyfriend ever reads this post (and I'm pretty sure he will since I'm going to send it to him as soon as I'm done): sexting is as bad as unfurling your you tube and sharing your bounty with another chick in a motel room. Same goes for phone sex, email porn, and Skyping little strip teases to one another. If it's not a conversation that you'd want me to hear, if it's not a message that you'd be cool with me opening, if it's not a chat that you'd want me to sit in on, it is c-h-e-a-t-i-n-g.
If you have to hide anything? Cheating. Erasing messages to cover your virtual footsteps? Cheating. Closing your laptop or flipping to another page when I walk in the room? Cheating. And certainly password-protecting everything and generally treating your cell phone like it's been issued by the Secret Service, which includes taking the joint to the bathroom with you because you're just that afraid that your little afternoon delight with Candy from Tuscaloosa could seep out.
Weiner got sucked into the false sense of comfort that not knowing the chicks in his little e-harem personally meant he was sidestepping the scarlet letter of infidelity. But just as a rule of thumb — any time a bulging crotch shot and a bare chest make an appearance, things have probably gone a bit too far.
In Janelleville, a dude actually doesn't have any business texting another gal in the first place unless he's talking to the woman who birthed him, asking for directions, or confirming my surprise birthday plans. Anything more than that with anybody other than his mama or his sister is askin' for a big Weiner moment.
So is sexting the same as cheating? Is it a harmless way to fulfill a "need" for attention from other people?

Champions of the 2011 Little League District 62 All-Star Tournament have been decided.
In Majors All-Star play, Ocean View capped an undefeated run by knocking off Huntington Valley to capture a championship. In the 9/10 division, Ocean View came up with two wins to defeat Robinwood for the crown. Ocean View also won the 10/11 title, coming back from an early deficit to get past Huntington Valley. One game in the Junior division took two days to decide, but in the end, Huntington Valley capped its undefeated tourney with a one-run win over Ocean View.
Majors All-Stars
Ocean View took an early lead on Huntington Valley and went on to record a 13-3 victory at Mile Square Park as the league repeated as district champion.
"We are all pleased to win the District 62 title this season, but we also realize that this is just the first milestone and by no means our end goal," Ocean View Manager Jeff Pratto said. "We have a lot of work to do and a lot of room for improvement if we hope to get back to San Bernardino again."
Ocean View went through its batting order in the top -half of the first inning to score four runs. They registered four hits and a walk and another batter was hit by pitch. Hagen Danner started the game with a single and later scored on Trevor Windisch's hit up the middle. Jason Mayorga picked up an RBI on a fielder's choice before Steven Kotkosky roped a two-run triple to the corner in left field to build the lead to 4-0.
Ocean View extended the lead to 6-0 in the top of the fourth when Danner delivered a one-out solo home run and Nick Pratto drove in a run on a fielder's choice.
Starting pitcher Braydon Salzman of Ocean View threw the first four innings and limited Huntington Valley to just two hits, a second-inning leadoff single by Luke Young and single in the fourth by Evan Gray. Salzman had five strikeouts and threw only 39 pitches and also had an infield single in the first inning. He was replaced on the mound by Jack Furry, who threw the fifth inning. Ryo Takada pitched the sixth to close out the win.
Huntington Valley scored two of its three runs in the bottom of the fifth. Both Jonathan Miranda and Sammy Blodgett drew walks, Joshua Bush had a two-out RBI double and Jimmy Davis' single scored the second run.
Huntington Valley got its final run in the bottom of the sixth when Gray drew a leadoff walk and later scored on a wild pitch.
Leading, 6-2, through five innings, Ocean View put the game away by scoring seven runs in the top of the sixth. Danner singled and one out later, Nick Pratto homered well past the fence in right field to make it 8-2. Windisch singled and Mayorga doubled before Kotkosky, crushed a three-run home run beyond the left-field fence. Kotkosky drove in five runs for the game. Danner drew a bases loaded walk in his second plate appearance of the inning and Anthony Martinez, who had walked, scored Ocean View's final run on an infield ground out by Salzman.
Ocean View returns to Mile Square Park on Saturday for the California Section 10 Tournament. They open play at 5:30 p.m. against Aliso Viejo (District 55).
Last year, Ocean View advanced to the Western Regionals championship game in San Bernardino.
"They are a solid team and can put the ball in play throughout the lineup," Jeff Pratto said of Aliso Viejo. "We feel our pitching is deep enough to handle them and our hitting timely enough to move us forward to the next game."
The Ocean View Little League All-Stars are: Eric Anderson, Christian Catano, Justin Cianca, Hagen Danner, Jack Furry, Steven Kotkosky, Anthony Martinez, Jason Mayorga, Dylan Palmer, Nick Pratto, Braydon Salzman, Ryo Takada and Trevor Windisch. Jeff Pratto is team manager and coaches are Tony Cianca and Jose Martinez.
9/10 All-Stars
Once-beaten Ocean View came up with two wins in two days against undefeated Robinwood in the championship series at Mile Square Park to capture the 9/10 title.
Robinwood had defeated Ocean View, 8-0, in a tournament game June 28.
In a July 6 championship series game between the teams, Robinwood rode hits by Rocco Peppi, Andrew Soika and Braden Wylde, to a 3-0 lead in the first inning. That lead grew to 5-0 in the second on back-to-back doubles by Riley Sterzer and Cade Palma and singles by Troy Kent and Peppi.
Ocean View began its comeback in the bottom of the second, using a single by Daniel Williams and a home run by Daniel Mayorga to cut the lead to 5-2. Robinwood got one of those runs back in the top of the fourth to move to a 6-2 advantage.
Ocean View responded with a nine-run, nine-hit at-bat in the bottom of the fourth to take its first lead. Cole Minato and Nick Wiley each had two hits in the inning and hits by Colton Meyer, Hunter Baclig, Cory Nicholson, Mayorga and Ryan Green led to an 11-6 lead. Robinwood scored another run in the fifth only to be followed by a six-run inning by Ocean View to complete a 17-7 game.
In the championship game July 7, Robinwood took a 1-0 lead in the top of the first, but Ocean View scored the final nine runs to win, 9-1.
In the bottom of the first, Minato, Meyer, Ken Takada and Mayorga had hits and a sacrifice fly from Daniel Williams led to three runs that put Ocean View in front for good, 3-1. A bunt single from Hunter Custodio and hits from Minato and Meyer accounted for another run in the second inning that put the lead at 4-1.
The score stayed that way until Ocean View turned six hits into five runs in the bottom of the fifth to push the lead to 9-1.
Ocean View Manager Tod Minato said the pitching of Danny Smith was the "story of the game." Smith allowed only run against a potent Robinwood offense in 5 2/3 innings.
"Going through the losers bracket is always hard, but to have to beat a team twice in a row after losing to them 8-0 a week before is a testament to the character and soul of this team," Tod Minato said. "We were facing elimination and down by two runs with two outs in the last inning against a very good Seaview team and scored nine runs with two outs (a 10-5 elimination-game win by Ocean View on June 30). I'm hoping we are able to carry this identity with us in Sectionals this Saturday."
Ocean View begins Section 10 tournament play at 1 p.m. Saturday against Lake Forest (District 55) at Hare School Park in Garden Grove.
The Ocean View 91/0 All-Stars are: Hunter Baclig, Hunter Custodio, Ryan Green, Daniel Mayorga, Colton Meyer, Cole Minato, Cory Nicholson, Daniel Smith, Jason St. Pierre, Ken Takada, Nicholas Wiley, Daniel Williams and Brandon Windisch. Tod Minato is team manager and coaches are Bjorn Green and Andy Williams.
10/11 All-Stars
Ocean View rallied from a five-run deficit against Huntington Valley on July 6 to pull out a 10-7 win at Mile Square Park to finish the tournament undefeated.
Huntington Valley jumped to a 5-0 lead in the top of the first inning, although Ocean View came back by scoring twice on a double by Ben McConnell that drove in Jack Pelc and Landen Hill.
"This was the first time we were behind like that the whole tournament," Ocean View Manager Steven Blokdyk said. "There was no panic and we knew we had to just chip away. The true character of this team really showed."
Blokdyk said that Ocean View pitcher Reid Sebby "shook off the rough first inning" and continued to battle on the mound.
Huntington Valley was up, 5-4, in the top of the third when McConnell, playing at shortstop, dove to catch a line drive and then double-up a Huntington Valley runner at second base. Blokdyk called McConnell's double play the game's "most spectacular play."
The score was tied at 7 through four innings. Huntington Valley did load the bases in the top of the fifth, but Ocean View pitcher Zeke Ziegler struck out the side to get out of the jam. In the bottom of the fifth, James Williams gave Ocean View the lead for good on a solo home run to center field. Two insurance runs crossed the plate before the inning was through to make it a 10-7 game.
"It's games like this that can define a team's All-Star season," Blokdyk said. "These boys never quit and we hope to carry this momentum into Sectionals."
Ocean View advances to the to the Section 10 tournament and will open against Aliso Viejo (District 55) at 1 p.m. Saturday at Lincoln Elementary School in Corona del Mar.
The Ocean View 10/11 All-Stars are: Matthew Blokdyk, Landen Hill, Nathan Madole, Ben McConnell, Bradley Monroe, Andrew O'Brien, Jack Pelc, Reid Sebby, Brad Vega, Jake Volo, Nicholas Welch, James Williams and Zeke Ziegler. Steven Blokdyk is team manager and coaches are Mike Monroe and Kent Madole.
Junior All-Stars
Huntington Valley went extra innings, and an extra day, to topple Ocean View and claim the District 62 Junior Division banner.
Huntington Valley put up a monstrous seventh-inning rally July 6 to tie the score against Ocean View, then scored three runs in the top of the 10th inning of a continuation game between the two teams July 7 and held on for an 11-10 title-clinching victory at Marina Park in Huntington Beach.
"We were down to our last strike four times in the seventh inning, yet managed to score six runs to tie the score," Huntington Valley Manager Rick Johnson said. "It was an incredible comeback by our kids.
"We have a team that has great chemistry. It's just a great group of kids. We always have the philosophy to never give up, and the kids didn't give up. It was amazing."
The biggest hit of the seventh-inning comeback was a three-run home run by Will Donald that tied the score.
As district champion, Huntington Valley advances to the Section 10 tournament and begins play against San Clemente (District 68) at 10 a.m. Saturday at San Juan Sports Park in San Juan Capistrano.
The Huntington Valley Junior All-Stars are: Gordie Baillie, Ryan Burke, Danny Campbell, Shane Davis, Nick Diaz, Will Donald, Michael Eliot, George Gleason, Andrew Johnson, Jordan Kirkenslager, Nathan Lammers and Pierson Loska. Rick Johnson is team manager and coaches are Dan Campbell and Paul Davis.
Senior All-Stars
Robinwood is the District 62 representative at the Section 10 Tournament that begins Saturday. Robinwood faces San Juan/Ladrea (District 68) at 1 p.m. at San Juan Sports Park in San Juan Capistrano.

Kirstie Alley: Actress, Professional Dieter, and Interior Designer
Posted by

I grew up in a flyover state (Ohio), and they must be on my mind this week. Yesterday I was thinking about midwestern Seed Bombs, and today I'm taking a virtual house tour in Kansas:
Kirstie Alley was on Oprah the other day, talking about how her first job was being a housekeeper at a wealthy family's home (she recommends cleaning bathrooms with gallons of cheap vodka), and her second job was at an interior decorator who was high on cocaine a lot of the time. She talked about dreaming of owning this house in her hometown of Wichita Kansas, which was the headquarters of the historical society at the time. She decorated it herself, and there is a fun tour of it over at Oprah.com. Personally, I love the bedroom below, and I love that Kirstie is not afraid of loud, bold wallpaper. The kitchen is beautiful, but because it wasn't all that large, Kirstie bought the house next door, transformed the entire downstairs into a kitchen, and built a bridge between the two houses. You can see a lot of nods to traditional design and a few moves that seem kinda eighties, but who cares? Kirstie is hilarious and my dad and I sat and watched the segments of her and cracked up the entire time.

My favorite part of the story is when Caroline went down the cellar at the Oldaker's bookstore. Then Wally trapped her so she wouldn't get out. That was my favorite part because it reminded me of my sister and me. For example, when my sister trapped me in the restroom. It also reminded me of when I stole my sister's stuff and she tricked me and trapped me outside in my backyard.
I thought the book was very good because the Malloys and the Hatfords kept doing tricks on each other. For example, when the Malloy girls went to their backyard and made tracks of fake abaguchie to trick Wally. That reminded me of scaring my sister whenever I go past her room. I scare her by creeping behind her back and then I would shout booo!
I recommend this book to people who like comedy. If you like Phyllis Reynolds Naylor, then you should check out the rest of the books in the series.

Apparently Veoh Isn't Dead Enough For Universal Music; Asks For Rehearing Of Its Bogus Copyright Lawsuit
from the but,-of-course deptOne of the key examples of what happens when you have bad, overly draconian copyright laws that burden companies falsely accused of infringement is Veoh. We've talked about them a bunch in the past, but Dmitry Shapiro, who had been CEO of the company, has written up a great (though depressing) first-hand explanation of how bad copyright law kills good companies. He talks about having the vision for an online video service (which he came up with before YouTube existed, though both happened at about the same time), how he built up the product, raised a bunch of money (including from former Disney CEO Michael Eisner), and put together a really good product. On top of that, to help the big entertainment companies feel comfortable, they installed audio filtering technologies -- even though such things are not (yet) required by law. And yet, the company was still sued by Universal Music, who insisted that Veoh was a "pirate site."
Of course, as we've noted, Veoh has won every bit of their lawsuits. The latest ruling came in December, where an appeals court, once again, said that Veoh was perfectly legal. It complied with the DMCA and actually went above and beyond what the law required (such as by using those filters). Of course, Veoh is also dead. The costs of the lawsuit really were too much for a young company struggling to build a good product and compete in the marketplace.
As you can imagine the lawsuit dramatically impacted our ability to operate the company. The financial drain of millions of dollars going to litigation took away our power to compete, countless hours of executive's time was spent in dealing with various responsibilities of litigation, and employee morale was deeply impacted with a constant threat of shutdown. Trying to convince new employees to join the company in spite of this was extremely challenging. To make sure that our money supply was cut off, in an unprecedented move, UMG sued not only the company, but our investors (Michael Eisner, Art Bilger, and Spark Capital) personally. This move raised lot of eyebrows in the legal community, and at one point was thrown out by a judge, only to continue to be appealed and litigated by UMG. This completely choked off all of our financial oxygen, as trying to convince investors to invest with the threat of them personally being sued is insurmountable.Even after winning the initial lawsuit, UMG just piled on the appeals, and it made it impossible for the company to survive:
With the appeal looming, financing continued to be choked off for us, and in April 2010 we had to sell the company in a fire sale to a small startup. The company that we had built, that was once valued at over $130 Million was gone. Along with it went the livelihoods of over 120 people and their families, $70 million of money entrusted to us by investors, and a big part of me. I had sacrificed so much to live the life of an entrepreneur. My marriage couldn't stand the strain of this lifestyle and ended in 2009, and while all of this was going on, my father was dying. Instead of spending time with him at his bedside, I was sitting in depositions with lawyers, and stressing over the lawsuit. He died July 13 2009, two months before we won the original judgement on the lawsuit. He would have been proud of me for following through with the fight. I felt so beaten down after this experience, that I couldn't imagine going back to being an entrepreneur. I was disenchanted, disgusted by the system that would allow these kinds of behaviors to go on, and it is not until recently that I have been able to come up to bat again.Shapiro posted this to explain why he's against SOPA/PIPA, but the amazing thing is that the lawsuit is still going on. Even after that ruling in December that totally eviscerated UMG's arguments and made it abundantly clear that Veoh had been a perfectly legal operation destroyed by a bogus lawsuit, UMG is trying again. Embedded below is the petition that UMG recently filed in the appeals court, asking for an en banc rehearing (appeals courts usually hear cases with a three-judge panel, but parties can later ask for a rehearing with all of the judges in the court -- which is an en banc rehearing).
I'm not going to go through the filing in detail. It's more of the same from UMG. Basically, UMG wants to pretend that the DMCA requires certain actions that it clearly does not. Every judge so far has told UMG this, but it won't give up. And, more importantly, it won't give up even though Veoh is long since dead. Considering that UMG and the rest of the legacy recording business keep complaining that they're not making any money any more, the fact that they're choosing to keep suing a company they already killed years ago really says something, doesn't it?
The truth is that UMG is continuing the lawsuit for one reason: because it's hoping and praying that some court will magically believe UMG's made up interpretation of copyright law. If that happens, it will make it much easier for UMG to kill other legit sites that it doesn't like. It will also allow UMG to pretend that Veoh was a "rogue" site that needed to be killed, rather than a successful legitimate business that was killed via a bogus lawsuit.

In Uganda, greater financial inclusion is the key to unlocking rapid growth
Ugandan's access to financial services has improved dramatically in recent years. More than half of Uganda's adult population now has access to an account at a formal financial institution. This is almost twice as many as in 2009. The entry and fast penetration of mobile money is the main reason for the increase, having allowed 8 million Ugandans to conduct financial transactions.

We were headed towards Noblesville for a rehearsal, and were looking for a place to have a good, yet quick, meal. We spied Mudsock's on the road, and decided to stop in there for a sandwich. Having never been there before, we were not quite sure what to expect, but were willing to give it a try.
Upon entering, we were greeted by a friendly hostess, and immediately seated. At dinner hour on a mid week night, there were a few customers in there, but not nearly as many as I anticipated.
The décor is pleasant…lots of dark wood, some TVs tuned to sports (thankfully, with the sound turned down so it was easy to carry on a conversation), and I was surprised by how spacious it was. This is a much larger restaurant than it appears on the outside. It's divided into two separate areas, a family dining area, and a bar/lounge. It does appear to be all non-smoking.
Our waitress came and brought our menus and took our drink orders, and we were off to a good start.
Upon reading our menus, we both mentioned that it seemed a bit pricey for sandwiches and such. Still, if the food is outstanding, we don't mind paying a bit more for it.
The menu is varied and interesting, with a nice selection of salads, sandwiches, and entrees. When I saw that they ordered a "beer battered, hand breaded tenderloin" I knew that was what I was going to order…even if it was $10.00 with chips.
We ordered our meals, and, as usual, I ordered my sandwich with ketchup, mayo, and onion only…and I always put emphasis on the "only". I opted for the onion strings instead of the chips for a slight upcharge.
So we waited for our meals. And waited. And then we waited some more. So much for a quick meal! Finally our waitress came out and told us our onion strings didn't "look right" so she told the kitchen to re-make them. (Holly had ordered the same side).
Finally our meals came, and I was disappointed to find my sandwich dressed with lettuce and tomato. As is my custom, I cut a corner off the tenderloin and tried it without the bun. The meat was good…probably a little above average, as was the breading.
The problem was…this is one GREASY sandwich. Not a little greasy…but dripping, leaving a puddle of grease on the plate greasy. The taste was pretty good…but I just can't get over how greasy this sandwich was.
And it was the same with the onion strings. It looked like they hadn't even been drained after taking them out of the deep fryer. Grease dripping off of them, leaving a puddle of grease on the plate. Yes, it was that greasy.
I'm torn on what to rate this sandwich…maybe they were having a bad night and I should cut them a break. But, this is the sandwich I was served, so this is the sandwich I have to rate. I'm going to give it a 2/5…below average. With the service issues, I'll give the experience a 1/5….pretty poor.
For her meal, Holly ordered a Mudsocks Chicken Portabella Wrap. The menu says that it is "an herb-marinated grilled Portabella mushroom with roasted red peppers, grilled chicken, spicy garlic pesto sauce, fresh baby spinach, and Mozzarella cheese wrapped in a roasted red tomato tortilla." If you're into this sort of thing, it sounds pretty good, right? Holly indicated that it was a very disappointing wrap. According to her…it, too, was greasy. A greasy wrap! Disgusting! The most prominent flavor on the sandwich was the roasted red peppers, which were also overly oily, the spicy garlic pesto was neither spicy nor garlicky, and there was hardly any baby spinach or Mozzarella. And the marinated Portabella had no flavor whatsoever. And even though the waitress told us that she sent back the onion strings and had the kitchen make us fresh ones, Holly reports that hers came out barely warm. Her meal was a major letdown. No wonder she left the half of the wrap she didn't eat in the fridge of the band rehearsal's hostess and didn't return to get it!

Voters in Heath Springs and Kershaw will head to the polls Tuesday to have their say on council terms that start in January 2018.
Both elections are nonpartisan, which means candidates don't have to register with political parties. Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Heath Springs
Heath Springs Town Council has five members – four at-large council seats and the mayor. Terms for two council seats and the mayor expire in January.
Ex-Lancaster City Council member Jackie Harris has filed a rebuttal to council member Linda Blackmon's motion asking that Harris be forced to pay Blackmon's legal fees resulting from the challenge to the 2016 election results.
Harris' attorney, Elizabeth Hyatt, disputed Blackmon's claim in an Oct. 13 motion that the election protest was "frivolous" and filed solely to keep her from taking office.
KERSHAW – Nancy Watson wants the abandoned Springs Industries Kershaw Plant property on the north side of town cleaned up.
She is tired and frustrated over the 9.1-acre eyesore that paints an unflattering image of the town and its citizens.
"It was a nice clean mill, a nice clean mill village, and we were never afraid to go out at night," Watson said Tuesday night during a question/answer community meeting held at her beloved Kershaw Second Baptist Church.
Backtracking on Linda Blackmon's back pay, the Lancaster City Council denied her request for a $6,750 payment from the city Tuesday night, after which she declared she "wasn't thinking straight" when she cast the deciding vote two weeks earlier to give herself the money.
That Oct. 10 vote appeared to violate state ethics law, which prohibits public officials from voting on matters that "affect their own economic interests."
Lancaster City Council is reconsidering its Oct. 10 vote on council member Linda Blackmon's $6,750 in back pay for the nine months when her taking the District 3 seat was delayed by a legal challenge.
This comes after ethics questions were raised because Blackmon did not recuse herself from the vote on the payment. Her yes vote broke a 3-3 tie at the Oct. 10 council meeting.
Mayor Pro Tem Tamara Green Garris requested the motion to reconsider, to be discussed at Tuesday night's council meeting, which began after press time.
KERSHAW – Kershaw's attempt to get abandoned Springs Mills property declared a brownfield site is gaining traction.
A community meeting to discuss health hazards stemming from the site is 5:30 p.m. Tuesday at Kershaw's Second Baptist Church.
The town is applying for federal dollars from the Environmental Protection Agency to clean up the 9.1-acre eyesore, and the public meeting is part of the process.
"We're trying to get as many people involved as possible," said Town Administrator Mitch Lucas.
HEATH SPRINGS – Faced with the likelihood of losing the town's five part-time employees, the Heath Springs Town Council voted Tuesday night to give them an across-the-board 9 percent pay raise.
But hang on: that doesn't mean the employees will be bringing home more money.
It's to offset the 9 percent contribution that the part-time workers must start paying into the state retirement system.
South Carolina's corruption scandal took another leap forward Wednesday, as powerful GOP political consultant Richard Quinn Sr. was indicted on criminal conspiracy charges.
A state grand jury lodged criminal conspiracy indictments against Quinn, his son, suspended S.C. Rep. Rick Quinn, suspended state Sen. John Courson and former lawmakers Tracy Edge and Jim Harrison.
VAN WYCK – The priority for Van Wyck's first town council won't be the nuts-and-bolts decisions about how to run the town, though those will have to be made.
It will be expediting voluntary annexations and considering involuntarily annexations to block property around the town from getting gobbled up in the Indian Land incorporation battle.
Van Wyck's single mayoral candidate and nine town council candidates spent most of Thursday's 90-plus minute public forum talking about annexation.
Absentee voting for the upcoming nonpartisan Heath Springs, Kershaw and Van Wyck town council races is now open.
Qualified voters may cast absentee ballots in person from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays at the county voter registration office on the lower level of the Lancaster County Administration Building, 101 N. Main St.
To request an absentee paper ballot application by phone, call the voting office at (803) 285-2969.
The Heath Springs and Kershaw town council elections are Nov. 7.

Re: Todd's 2 cents,
I would add that if you are in a large product line environment (on stop
shopping), SpectraQuest is great with it's global auto-update features,
saves you significant time. I thought their interconnect modeling was weak
though, and their timing analysis depended on your already knowing your
timing margins. Have they updated those features?

Subject: [SI-LIST] : RE: [SI-LIST]: Spectraquest Vs. XTK/XNS
Okay, there's been enough commentary, so I'll throw my two cents in ...
Hyperlynx can't be beat for ease of use. Michael's original comments
reflect that, and I agree. Hyperlynx is the sort of tool you can install
and have running in a morning. On the other hand, the waveform display
capabilities of Hyperlynx are limited, so when you get to doing precision
work, or when you want to enter complex topologies (LineSim), things tend to
come up short. And .... since Hyperlynx is intended to be a *simulator*,
you can create and edit the PCB database only through an external CAD tool.
BoardSim will let you view, but not edit, the PCB database.
XTK is the most established game in town. It's a simulator, too, so you
have to create and edit your PCB database in a separate CAD tool as well.
Innoveda has a transmission line editor (scratchpad) and a few different
options for viewing the PCB database (PreView, ePlanner) ... but you're
still not really able to edit the PCB database directly. XTK's algorithms
make the simulation fast, and, because the XTK engine is an ASCII,
netlist-based tool, you can script it to do just about anything. Because
it's been around a while, chances are there's a switch somewhere to do just
about anything you can think of.
SPECCTRAQuest is the (relatively) new kid on the block, although the
simulation technology (SigNoise) has been around for a while and is quite
solid. The simulator is SPICE-based, so don't expect it to outrun XTK. On
the other hand, with the abundance of fast processors and memory, PCB
simulation speed isn't quite the battleground it used to be. SPECCTRAQuest
reads and writes the Allegro database format directly, without translations.
You set the electrical properties (stackup, model assignments, power nets)
directly in Allegro database and that's it. Once the database is set up,
you can run signal integrity & crosstalk simulations by selecting the nets
whose behavior you want to see. You can also "extract" an electrical model
of a pre- or post-route net directly into the transmission line editor, and
view/edit/simulate it. Plus, you can move/edit parts or nets in the Allegro
database, and, you can apply/remove/verify design rules that drive the
placement and routing processes with Allegro. If you've got a complex
design and use Allegro for layout, SPECCTRAQuest is hard to beat. It costs
more than Hyperlynx, and you won't learn it in a morning. For my money,
simulation results between XTK and SPECCTRAQuest are basically equivalent
(the finer points of each tool's approach notwithstanding).
And the end of the day - simulators are fine, but it's the ability to create
designs, run analyses, make decisions and verify results that brings
products to market. Keeping the create-analyze-decide-verify loop time down
is critical - and that means integration plays a key part. Our designs are
not simple by any measure, and SPECCTRAQuest is working just fine for us.
That's my $0.02.

filice5 needed a new other design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 2 designs submitted by 2 freelance designers.
This should be very simple and quick - I just don't have the apps to do it.
this Flash movie is for our specimen collectors to learn about the changes in our organization.
I will email the ppt file to the contest winner. There are six slides in the show. They need to be converted to graphics files then combined into a Flash (Swish?) movie. There will be a link on our webpage that, when clicked, runs this Flash movie. Right now, it prompts a user to download a zip file in order to run a pps slideshow, which only works if they have Powerpoint Viewer. I want to make this as easy as possible for our users. Nothing to download, etc.
I would like each slide to show for 5 seconds, then automatically advance. However, if it's possible to have a user click advance the slides, that would be even better.

VICTORY: One Small But Significant Step For Whales
After a frustrating day of delays and complaints on points of order yesterday, today's session started with the UK delegation, minus their Minister, Richard Benyon MP, (who had to leave for other important matters) keen to get on with business and push forward their proposal for improved transparency.
The proposal, sponsored in the end by all EU member states that belong to the IWC - including Denmark, initially looked unlikely to get accepted on consensus. Although it would have been hard for any country to argue against the principle of transparency and effectiveness, the main stumbling block was the proposal for an end to last-minute cash payment of dues.
Before member countries were asked to accept the package, there was a long review of 15 points identified in the proposal as needing plenary discussion. Several states intervened on each point - all of them opposing the current wording. The UK answered each point and the meeting crawled on through a very long morning. The item everyone was waiting for, addressing cash payments, was placed near the end of the document and we all knew this would be the dealmaker or breaker.
Despite a long queue for comments from the floor, the UK remained adamant that this point was non-negotiable while St Kitts, Japan and Iceland continued to voice their concerns. By 2pm we were clearly at an impasse. At this stage, it looked impossible that the UK package could achieve consensus with an end to cash payments. The UK made it clear they would push the matter to a vote if consensus could not be achieved and seemed determined to avoid giving ground on such a key issue. As a last ditch attempt to avoid the need for a vote and reach agreement from all, the Chair called for a final private session between a small number of states, scheduled to last until 3.30pm. However, when this deadline passed, it was announced that another hour was needed. Lunch (with myriad side meetings, lobbying, rumours and general confusion) ended up carrying on until 5pm....
There was much talk about quorates, banker's drafts, voting rights, EU consensus and a variety of IWC technicalities, but in reality, until the last moment, none of us could say for sure how things were going to go.
When the plenary session finally reopened, there was a tense atmosphere on the floor, despite the exhaustion many delegates must be feeling. The chair began by announcing he was giving the floor to New Zealand who took us through some new, final amendments to the proposal.
The bulk of the document was retained unchanged with a few small amendments. On the main point we were all waiting for – cash payments – it was announced that a slight amendment to payment regulations was being introduced but that the proposal, if adopted, would still spell an end to cash payments. An amendment was added stating that while bank transfers would be retained as the accepted form of payment, if the Commission is satisfied that there is a delay in receipt due to circumstances beyond the control of the contracting Government they can be deemed to have paid.
The amended package was then accepted by the forum on consensus! One small but significant step for whales, transparency and the conservation work of the IWC.

Vermonters will be asked to choose between two very different gubernatorial candidates this fall, and two different visions of Vermont.
But at least along the way, we can be assured of some laughs.
Republican Brian Dubie sees a state imperiled by high taxes, anti-business sentiment and wasteful education spending. He's against reproductive choice and gay marriage.
Democrat Peter Shumlin sees a state that has made great progress on gay marriage while also defending reproductive choice, but that now needs single-payer health care.

Dir: Tom Berninger. US. 2013. 74mins
An engagingly left-field variation of the 'rock band on tour' film, the entertaining and amusing documentary Mistaken For Strangers is the sort of film that could only be made because the director (and virtual 'star' of the film) Tom Berninger is the younger brother of Matt, the lead singer of successful indie rock band The National.
It is a feel-good film that has some charming laugh-out-loud moments.
The set-up – a familiar and genial one – is that film student Tom takes the chance to spend some quality time with his brother by joining the band as a roadie as they head off on a world tour. Though niche in terms of formal theatrical release, it is quirkily enjoyable, and will appeal to fans of the band itself.The film opened the Tribeca Film Festival.
The idea to make the film comes from Tom – he has made a couple of short horror flicks that he proudly shows off – and armed with a small camera and aided by the fact that he knows the band well, he heads off, seemingly ill-prepared in terms of what questions to ask, and sets about recording all around him.
He is an engagingly bumbling, funny and klutzy guy to have on tour – and the opposite of is more intense brother Matt, who is clearly very fond of him – and while he does his best as assistant to the tour manager, his enthusiasm for filming and drinking beers (as well as forgetting what he is supposed to do) it comes as no surprise when the powers-the-be decide that he leave the tour.
His interview technique is rather lacking – rambling questions to be various band members, who also include two other pairs of brothers, with a highlight being "Do you ever get sleepy onstage" – though he does eventually get to ask his brother some more pertinent questions about the nature of songwriting.
There are some engaging footage of the band on tour – and even some jumpy shots of them meeting President Obama when they played in Washington – especially when it comes to filming Matt and his signature move of heaving out into the audience with his microphone with a very, very long lead.
Eventually bumped from the tour, time back at his parent's Cincinnati house gives Tom time to reflect on his shortcomings and the realisation that his embracing of the rock'n'roll lifestyle when he should have been working on his roadie duties may have been a mistake.
But plonked in the garage at Matt's Brooklyn home he focuses on editing his film, and comes up with the conclusion that their relationship is pretty good. And this is true – the core of the film is the warmth between him and Matt, but its strength is that Tom comes to see that his amusingly bumbling persona is the strength of the film, and he gives his own character plenty of room to have fun in amidst the serious on-stage business of the band. It is a feel-good film that has some charming laugh-out-loud moments, and while never totally illuminating about The National, it is a fine film about family and relationships.

How Much Should You Save? Meet Your Retirement Goals with These Tips
Kim Lankford
If you're 40 or younger, it's tough to predict how much money you might need when retirement is decades away. A few key calculations, however, can help you make sure your savings plan is on track.
Saving Depends on Life Stage
Rebecca Pace, a Cincinnati-based financial planner and CPA, recommends putting aside at least 10 percent of your income when you're in your 20s and 30s — and even more if you're single. "I wouldn't expect they could continue to add a lot to it while they're raising a family, but if they've put something aside early, it should continue to work for them until they can save again," she says.

SURVIVAL: How Do Artists Make Money?
Another good reason to save aggressively now: The younger you are when you start, the longer your money will have time to grow. This means you'll need to set aside a lot less to reach the same goal than if you waited just a few more years to get started.
For example, if you're 25, you only need to invest about $3,600 per year to end up with $1 million by the time you're 65 if your investments return 8 percent per year. But if you wait until you're 30 to start, you'll need to set aside about $5,400 per year to end up with the same $1 million at age 65. And starting at 40 requires $12,700 a year to reach the same magic $1 million. Finally, you'll need a whopping $34,000 per year to reach the same goal if you procrastinate until you're 50.

Hunter bags doe - with antlers
KINGFISHER, OK (KFOR) -- It sounds more like a legend or a myth than real life, and for avid Kingfisher County hunters, it certainly feels like it when one man shot a deer unlike any other.
Deer trophies shot by Rodney Mueggenborg across the decades hang in his garage but the one he will never forget is one that's not even up there.
"I have been hunting 32 years and never seen anything like it before," Mueggenborg said. "It was a beautiful, healthy doe with horns."
That's a sight many hunters will never see.
It was brought to Mueggenborg by Jeremie Hill.
Hill shot it within the first 20 minutes of a hunting trip with his son.
"Your nerves start shaking," Hill said. "You start shaking to see if you can actually hope you hit it and you hear the shot go off. You hear it hit the deer and right then it dropped."
Hill and his 8-year-old son, Blake, thought they shot a buck.
Once they got to Mueggenborg's farm to skin the deer, they realized the rare kill they had on hand.
"Well I turn it around, I thought, 'Holy blank, blank, blank this is a doe!' I freaked out," Meuggenborg said.
Game wardens said it is a rare occurrence.
The chances of a hunter seeing a doe with antlers is one in 1,000.

After Protests Over History Curriculum, School Board Tries To Compromise By Jenny Brundin • Oct 3, 2014 Hundreds of Colorado high school students have walked out of class in the past two weeks to protest proposed changes to the Advanced Placement history curriculum.

When she heard that conservatives across the country were upset about the new AP history curriculum, she proposed a committee to review the district's courses. Jazz In The Cafeteria: Kids Learn To Listen While They Chomp By Jenny Brundin • Apr 14, 2013 School lunch is often synonymous with loud noise. Studies have shown the decibel level in some cafeterias is as high as a lawn mower. Every so often, though, students at Alice Terry Elementary School, southwest of Denver, are asked not to make any noise. When the music teacher told students here they'd occasionally have a "silent" lunch break, this was kindergartner Alyssa Norquette's reaction: "Why do we need a silent lunch? Is it because we're too loud or something?"

Alright, MMOs. I have a small bone to pick with you. Why is it deemed absolutely necessary by the playerbase at large to have to watch videos of a dungeon or other encounter before you can attempt it? Seriously, where is the fun of pure discovery? Of being able to figure a puzzle out on your own?
I'm not a fan of strategy guides, either. If I'm going to use one, it's only going to be after I've got far enough in the game to where it doesn't make a difference and to satisfy my completionist itch. But reading it beforehand or watching all of these videos BEFORE you do an encounter? Isn't that just plain cheating?
"Hey, look! We beat the boss by doing exactly what this video told me to do! We also beat it by using this exact skill build somebody else figured out!" … Are we just playing games for other people, now? You let somebody else do 90% of the work, and then you perform your role like an automaton. Really, there is no self-accomplishment in that. Is there no pride in figuring out a tricky puzzle yourself?
When you go to the movies, do you have to first read every spoiler about it you can? When you read a book, do you just skip right to the ending? Why does it feel like nobody likes spoilers, but everybody still wants them. How essentially having the game played for you is fun doesn't make any sense to me.
The only points I will concede is that it saves time. Also, since probably everyone else in your group has cheated and watched every video, too, you're at a social disadvantage and will stumble over your feet while everyone else is acting like a pro, mimicking what others have done before them.
So, fine. I get it, and to not look like a fool, I'll watch the stupid videos to appease the gaming elite. It just really irks me that this laziness is the social norm and these games are designed that not following these mores hurts not just you, but your team as well.
My solution: A solo version of a dungeon. Don't give great loot for it's completion, or really give a huge incentive, but allow people to use it to see the story and practice the mechanics of encounters without having to resort to these out-of-game videos. Since loot is pretty much the only real reason players run dungeons to begin with, why not give an option to those who just want to see the story? So, for example, a dungeon can have a "solo" mode, a "regular" mode, and then whatever "hard" or "epic" difficulties you want after that. I'd have no problems running a dungeon on solo a few times to learn the encounters, and if I get a few random drops and some experience along the way, all the better! I could still make some character progress and be even more ready for the group encounters. But more important, I'd feel like I'd accomplished it myself, instead of just having it handed to me by a video or guide.
Have faith that your players aren't lazy and actually enjoy a challenge, and you will see returns on it.
\\ Ocho
P.S. – To it's credit, the only MMO this really doesn't apply to is Dungeons and Dragons Online. They already have this system in place. I don't know if it's in 100% of their dungeons, though, but it's a great idea that I feel could do the rest of the genre a big service.

Palo Alto Online Sports
When David Shaw was announced as Jim Harbaugh's successor as Stanford's head football coach last season, the first question regarding Shaw's new job was inevitable.
How could a rookie coach improve upon a 12-1 season that included a 40-12 victory over Virginia Tech in the BCS Orange Bowl?
Shaw's answer? Actions speak louder than words and Stanford proved that with an 11-1 record heading into Monday's showdown with Oklahoma State in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl in Glendale, Ariz. Kickoff is 5:30 p.m. on ESPN.
"It was weird after the (Orange) bowl game," offensive guard David DeCastro said Wednesday as the Cardinal continued preparations for the Cowboys. "We didn't know that was going to happen. Was Harbaugh coming back or was he leaving? It was kind of like 50/50, kind of a toss-up.
"We weren't surprised when he left, but with Coach Shaw coming in it was good. It was natural. He's a good coach and he did an awesome job with the transition period, getting the new coaches in. He kept a lot of the same staff, same strength staff. I had a new O-line coach, but he's done a great job. It was pretty seamless. The transition has worked out pretty well."
Having All-American quarterback Andrew Luck returning for a final season, of course, made Shaw's job all the more easier. Still, Harbaugh took a few key coaches with him to the San Francisco 49ers, including defensive coordinator Vic Fangio.
There were also the usual key losses to graduation, like All-American lineman Chase Beeler, so Shaw didn't get the key to his new car without first filling it with gas and kicking the tires.
The fact Shaw didn't have to move his family and only had to switch offices in the Stanford Athletic Department also made the transition easier for him and his players.
"It was kind of weird having a guy that wasn't the head coach go to head coach," said DeCastro. "But, he's done a fabulous job. He's done nothing wrong. He's take the head coaching job like he's always had it, almost. It's been really good."
Harbaugh stayed four years, finally providing consistency and success (29-21) after Walt Harris (2005-06) and predecessor Buddy Teevens (2002-04) went a combined 16-40 in a five-year span.
Stanford went seven years without a winning season until Harbaugh turned things around in 2009 with an 8-5 mark and appearance in the Sun Bowl.
Thus, there was concern when Harbaugh left. Would Stanford return to its losing ways, especially after losing linebacker Shayne Skov to a season-ending injury early in the season?
Shaw answered that with a school-record 15 straight victories, the longest such streak in the nation this year before Oregon ended it. The Cardinal bounced back from that loss, finished the season strong and earned its highest BCS ranking (No. 4) and most prestigious bowl game since playing in the Rose Bowl in the pre-BCS days.
So, why has Shaw done so well so quickly?
"He must have been born for this," DeCastro said. "You can just ell. He doesn't miss a beat. It's like he's had that role for a while."
It could be reasoned that Shaw was groomed for the job during his playing days as a wide receiver at Stanford from 1991-94.
"I think it's huge," DeCastro said of that fact. "Any alumnus from Stanford is pretty proud of it, especially being a football player and coming back to coach his alma mater. I think it's important he has a lot of pride in it, as well.
"He'll always tell us stories about him catching passes when he was a player here. When we have honorary captains, he'll talk about them when they come back."
Senior tight end Coby Fleener is also a big fan of Shaw, who dramatically increased the team's offensive production while working as the offensive coordinator the four previous seasons under Harbaugh.
"I would saw it was a very smooth transition," said Fleener, ranked among the top tight ends in the nation this season. "Coach Shaw was on our staff, so he understood the offense. And, keeping a lot of the staff together really made a smooth transition for all the players."
Equally important was how the team culture changed after Stanford reached the 2009 Sun Bowl and lost to Oklahoma while Luck missed the game with an injury.
"I think there's been huge strides since then," Fleener said. "I'd say the culture has been the biggest thing. We went from a team that was happy to be winning and where winning was an unexpected turn of events, to a team that is expected to win, and if we didn't win we are sorely disappointed.
"I think in years past it was okay for Stanford to be very good at academics and mediocre at athletics, at least from a football realm. Coach Harbaugh and now Coach Shaw have pushed us to the point where we are expecting to win every game, or know that we will prepare to win every game, as opposed to prepare to give the other team a good game. That's a huge change from four or five years ago when we could be the underdogs. Now, it's to the point of where we have a bulls-eye on our back."
It's a target Shaw and his players will gladly wear, because it means Stanford has arrived as a contender.
It was only five years ago that Stanford went 1-11 under Harris. The Cardinal was 2-9 under Teevens in 2002 and 3-8 under Tyrone Willingham in 1998.
Now, Stanford has produced the Heisman Trophy runner-up three straight seasons, earned back-to-back bids to BCS bowl games, compiled a 23-2 record since last season and is bringing in a recruiting class that Luck says rivals his own.
The days of just hoping to be bowl-eligible are gone. The talk is now about winning Pac-12 titles and, perhaps some day, a national championship.
"It's amazing," said Jonathan Martin, regarded as one of the top offensive linemen in the nation. "When I sit down and think about it, I almost can't even believe it. Being recruited, our expectations were to make bowl games. As a freshman, I don't think the expectations were to make back-to-back BCS bowl games. You always have the goal of making BCS bowl games and winning the national championship, but to actually see it come to fruition is really amazing."
And that's why David Shaw is smiling these days, as are his players.
"It's exciting," said Fleener. "It's exciting to have had a small part in helping to turn around the Stanford football program."

The Pre-MBA Summer Programs consist of Analytical Skills Workshop (ASW) and Tools of Financial Markets (TOFM).
Analytical Skills Workshop
The value of the Analytical Skills Workshop to incoming MBA students cannot be overemphasized. Every student is required to have a working knowledge of microeconomics, probability and statistics, finance, and financial accounting. ASW offers you the opportunity to refresh these concepts or gain exposure to them. In addition to this strong academic foundation, the MBA Program has added in a number of important career, technical, and program-related workshops. Lastly, ASW offers an outstanding opportunity to network and social with your fellow classmates prior to Orientation as well as time to comfortably transition to the Chapel Hill community prior to the start of classes in August.
ASW offers:
ASW participants are required to take a minimum of two academic courses from among the Analytical Tools, Financial Accounting, and Finance offerings. Most students elect to take all three courses. Each academic course meets daily and workshops are offered periodically throughout the ASW calendar.
"ASW was one of the key drivers for my decision to attend UNC Kenan-Flagler. The summer courses created a smooth transition from a professional world to an academic setting. The ASW workshops also greatly prepared me for the demanding MBA job search which begins early in the year. ASW gave me the confidence to meet these challenges."
— Student, MBA Class of 2015
Tools of Financial Markets (TOFM)
The MBA Program and the Capital Markets Lab offer a financial technology program — The Tools of Financial Markets — to provide students with an early introduction to the financial technology tools used each day by Wall Street professionals. Students completing this program at the conclusion of ASW will be well-prepared to conduct financial research and to gain more comprehensive perspectives and a deeper understanding of financial market activity that will raise the likelihood of success in the finance job search.
TOFM Offers:
"Being a career switcher, I was interested in gaining exposure to Bloomberg and FactSet as early as possible. The Tools of Financial Markets gave me the much-needed exposure and afforded the opportunity to experience the power and effectiveness of the Capital Markets Lab, which is an incredible resource. I highly recommend attending The Tools of Financial Markets. It gives unique insight into the industry and allows students to test the tools that drive the financial markets."
— Student, MBA Class of 2015
2019 Summer Dates
Each class meets daily, Monday through Friday. Your exact schedule is determined after ASW study groups are assigned.

This thread is awesome -- Remember it from last year and now I wish I had posted up then
2010 I was riding strapped and blowing 75% of my jibes. 2011 strapless 100% of the time no matter how big and added a ton of backhand to my rights. Raceboard width grew by about 25cm and my fins by even 5cm more than that.
Kiting goals for 2012 are to experience some new strapless sessions whereever in the world I can escape to and do the full race season March - Oct with as many events as I can fit in. Consistently nailing the duck tack would be great too
It will be great to see what success 2012 will bring us all - I know everybody will have an awesome year... Happy New Year!

François Calmels fired a sizzling 11 birdies in a final-round 65 to come from behind and win his second Challenge Tour title of the season on an eventful last day at the D+D Real Czech Challenge Open.
The Frenchman, who began the day three shots off the lead at Golf & Spa Kunetická Hora, finished with an aggregate score of 22 under par, three clear of the English trio of Robert Dinwiddie, overnight leader Adam Gee and Sam Walker, to pick up a cheque for €25,600 and with it move to second in the 2013 Challenge Tour Rankings.
The Parisian's stunning seven under par 65 - that included seven birdies in eight holes from the ninth - was not only the lowest final round by a winner this season but also the largest comeback on a Sunday seen this campaign.
It was an action-packed final day all round, meanwhile, as American Brooks Koepka climbed 36 places up the leaderboard into a tie for seventh thanks to a magnificent course record 62 that featured two eagles and six birdies, while Italy's Nicolo Ravano holed out at the par three 17th to win a Peugeot 3008.
But, ultimately, the day belonged to Calmels.
The 31 year old fell further behind after mixing two bogeys with two birdies from the second as Gee solidified his lead with two gains on the front nine, but as the Londoner made his opening bogey of the day at the tenth Calmel swooped with a simply staggering run of golf.
After making birdie at the long seventh, Calmels fired six birdies in succession from the ninth – including a 40-foot putt at the 11th, a 35-footer at the 13th and a host of others from over 12 feet – to take control as Gee parred his way in.
And despite bogeys at the 15th and 17th bringing the field back within two, Calmels was calmness personified in holing out for an 11th birdie of the day at the last to secure an impressive three-shot triumph.
"This is totally different to my first win because there I was leading and just built from there, whereas today I started quite far back," said Calmels, who also triumphed in April at the Challenge de Madrid.
"I was struggling a lot at the start but then during that birdie stretch I played incredible and made every putt. I saw that guys were four shots better than me during the front nine but I kept telling myself, 'You're playing good!' and I knew that if I could start holing some putts I could put up a fight.
"Out of all the birdies I was most pleased with the one at the last after bogeying the 17th and knowing I only had a two-shot lead. It wasn't an easy putt and I was feeling the pressure so that was a nice way to finish."
Much like Koepka, who currently heads the Challenge Tour Rankings after two wins of his own this season, Calmels is now within one victory of automatic promotion to The European Tour, this after struggling to 122nd and 116th place finishes in the money list in the previous two years.
He credits much of his return to form to girlfriend Jade Schaeffer, a professional golfer on the Ladies European tour for whom he caddied at the Ladies German Open last week, and identified a more philosophical approach to the game being at the heart of his success this year.
"It's been a very good start to the season," he continued, "but I'm still mainly just looking to finish top ten at the finish. If I manage to win a third one then great but I'm not going to get too caught up in it.
"It is surprising, though. I have had terrible seasons the last couple of years and so I have been very sad. This year I have tried to make golf a happy thing again; if you make bogey, you make bogey.
"Golf is purely a mental game; if you have a good feeling then you play well. My girlfriend Jade has helped a lot since the Qualifying School with this and when I was with her last week I would say the same things to her that I have said to myself all week.
"What that is is a secret, maybe I will tell you if I win a third one!"
Despite seeing his 54-hole lead vanquished by the on-form Calmels, Gee, who shot a one under par 71 on Sunday, was still pleased with a good week's work.
"I never really hit it close enough today," reflected Gee, who had chances for birdie on the final three holes. "I putted great for three days, too, so it's no great surprise it cooled down at some point.
"But the way I've been playing if someone had said I was going to finish tied second I would have bitten their hand off, I can take an awful lot from this week."
While Walker shot an excellent 66 for his share of the runner-up spot, Dinwiddie went one better, posting a seven under par 65 that included four birdies in a row from the 13th.
He said: "After taking a break away from golf earlier this year and going travelling for a while, it feels great to be back up there even though I came up a bit short this time.
"I think part of the reason I'm competing again is because I am feeling a bit more love for the game again so it's all good."

(this tutorial addresses why access controls have been changing and the direction they may take in the future.)
in the past security models were simple and one directional. a trusted computing base would provide the reference monitor concept to control all accesses on the system. expanding this approach across a network introduced minimal change with network processors enforcing the reference monitor. guards and firewalls were used to expand the network to a heterogeneous nature.
in recent years the trusted computing base has been exchanged for a untrusted one. the reference monitor is no longer enforced over the system but more specific to each application. in organizations these reference monitors can be distributed and must be malleable by business and regulatory logic. these reference monitors also need to protect content across maybe hostile environments of the consumers pda laptop ipod computer or mobile phone.
simple formal and rigid state-transition access control models of the past are giving way to expressible extensible languages for use on these touring systems. older homogenous coarsely-grained object-oriented systems are finding their use replaced by heterogeneous finely-grained objects and extensible mark-up language documents.
these recent trends toward more complex access controls is contrary to the traditional approach of keeping simplicity is the primary objective. the security community as a whole and access controls presently are in the difficult situation of supporting a number of new technologies.
* privacy policies with unknown or unverifiable purposes
* decentralized peer to peer applications where every user is their own authority and their policy needs to scale to millions of other users
* zero trust authorization scenarios
* digital rights management applications with enforcement of owner policies even on devices with no promise of a trusted computing base presence
this trend to more complex access controls will bring hardships to consumers by allowing untrusted and unknown applications and data owners to enforce unverifiable privacy and use policies. this may result in deviations from business policy and regulatory compliance or security exceptions like the recent sony covert windows driver for music cds.
perhaps palladium is the step in the right direction by restoring the historical trusted computing base. now the technology to make trusted computing a homogenous environment through all the consumers touring systems. some consumers have concerns about the control given to applications data owners by trusted systems and these concerns are very serious but may be the only path to a simplified approach.
some may argue that a simplified approach is not required or capable of supporting the complex controls required to maintain the controls required by the globally distributed heterogeneous environments of web content and peer to peer applications. the complex access controls and application level reference monitors may be a welcome change for those concerned about allowing the operating system vendor monopolistic control over their choices in data rights management controls.
one path we have something akin to a giant octopus wrapped around the digital globe in the form of palladium and the other we have vendors like sony creating their own reference monitors right now covertly but in the future perhaps in an overt and mandatory way.
perhaps technical controls are not the best approach at all. clearly the locks on your house and car are simple and minimal. clear legal regulations in the form of laws have proven more successful than older technical controls like moats. traditional problems surrounding regulations at a global scale may play out to fruition in the near future with the european union seeking and being rejected for access and control of internet backbone segments. china has begun to exert similar pressures. the fall-out of these tensions may be the deglobalization of the internet easing the introduction of borderless regulations.
one thing is very clear digital rights will be protected it is now up to consumers to choose the manner best suited to support their rights while ensuring use and the protection of others rights.
what are your thoughts.

Charles and Ray Eames were some of the most influential furniture designers of the twentieth century, consistently producing head-turning creations and relying on the symbiotic nature of form and function in their pieces. The original 119 Aluminum Group chair, released in 1958, is an excellent example of the way that graceful metallic curves and soft cushioning can coexist without clashing.
Based on the Eames originals, the Stockroom replica Aluminum group pieces are set up for comfort as well as style. These long lasting office chairs look incredible in the office and create a fantastic focal point for discussion.
Without a certain amount of pleasure, there would be a lot less business - at least, that was the idea behind the creation of this classic Eames piece. The need for comfort in a formal office setting did not go unnoticed by the Eames', who created the 119 Aluminum Group chair as a chic response to the unappealing alternatives available at that time.
Please note this price is for half leather only. Since most furniture in the market is made in half leather that's why quote you this price. If you prefer full leather (including all back parts in Top Grain Italian Leather), please feel free to call our Customer Service for a full Leather quotation.
*color accuracy varies depending on monitor calibration, real samples are available in our showroom.
