In recent years a number of changes in scientific research took place, under the umbrella of the 'open science' label. Open access has essentially been introduced in natural sciences. Many researchers followed the path of open source by making their simulation codes publicly available. Presently the introduction of open data (and open data management plans) are on the horizon (or already introduced) by many European Funding Agencies. But the implementation of open data poses many challenges.
On 29 October 2018 more than 120 scientists discussed issues with open data and data management, organized by the Platform MAP of the Swiss Academy of Sciences. Below you find the minutes, the presentation and the flyer of the event.
The SNFS with its funding scheme «Scientific Exchanges» also supports the organisation of events that allow research communities to exchange best practices on how to develop a Data Management Plan, preparing research data and making it publicly available.

I've been doing a lot more fish of late and want to give a mioroshi a try. Not looking for anything terribly fancy or special, but rather a working knife. I'd prefer something in the 195-240mm range, but if priced right might try something a little smaller. Not looking for any major restoration projects but minor touchups are okay. If anyone has anything gathering dust in a drawer which they're willing to part with, drop me a PM.

Princeton Power Systems announced last Thursday it has appointed Ken McCauley president and CEO, effective immediately.According to the announcement, McCauley joined PPS in March as vice president for sales. He began his career with Lucent/AT&T Microelectronics and rose to director of sales before joining Anadigics as director of field sales prior to being named vice president for worldwide sales and corporate marketing.
Marshall Cohen will become chairman of the board, replacing Ed Zschau, who has served the company in that role since its inception. Zschau will continue as a director of Princeton Power, the company said in a statement.

Every so often I hear a story that I find rather wonderful, and that I then pass along to you, just in case you and I share a similar sense of wonder. Here is one of those stories. It's about death and taxes.
The story begins on Dec. 28 of last year, when a Dallas billionaire named Harold Simmons died at the age of 82. He left the bulk of his $8 billion fortune to two of his daughters.
Much of that fortune was in "Contran Corp., a closely held entity that holds majority stakes in four publicly traded companies: Valhi Inc., NL Industries Inc., Kronos Worldwide Inc. and CompX International Inc."
The biggest chunk of the estate was Contran's 93.8% stake in Valhi, which was 318,156,746 shares.1 Valhi's stock closed on Dec. 27, 2013, at $14.91 per share, making that stake worth about $4.7 billion as of Simmons' death. Another 2,481,900 Valhi shares (0.7%, $37 million) were held by the Harold Simmons Foundation, a charity controlled by Simmons's daughters.2 Other family members owned about 2.8 million shares ($41 million). Public shareholders owned about 15.7 million shares ($234 million).3
Here are two facts about the federal estate tax:
- The estate tax rate for 2013 and 2014 is 40 percent of the value of the estate.4
- The executor can choose to determine the value of the estate either on the date of death, or on the "alternate valuation date," which is the date six months after the date of death.5
For Harold Simmons's estate, that alternate valuation date is tomorrow (June 28) — six months from his death. Today (June 27) is the last trading day before that valuation. How's Valhi done in the last six months?
Oh.6 The stock closed June 26 day at $6.01, reducing the value of the estate's holdings by $2.8 billion — and its estate-tax liability by $1.1 billion — since Simmons's death.
Is that good news or bad news for the estate? Well, the first law of tax is that it is always better to have more money than less money.7 It's not actually a good idea to lose $2.8 billion of money to save $1.1 billion in taxes.
Though the estate didn't exactly lose $2.8 billion of money. That tax liability is a cash expense: You've actually got to write a check to the IRS for $1.9 billion (using the December valuation) or $765 million (using yesterday's valuation8), so the $1.1 billion you save is an actual cash savings. The $2.8 billion loss, on the other hand, is a paper loss. Perhaps it's just temporary. If there were some reason to think that it didn't reflect only a decline in the fundamental value of Valhi, you might not worry as much about that paper loss as you would about the cash taxes.
So what's happened to Valhi? Well, it's not having a great year, with zero-ish net income last quarter. The board reduced the dividend by 60%, to its lowest level since 2005. And the few people who follow the stock are unimpressed. Bloomberg shows two analysts following Valhi, Barclays and EVA Dimensions. They both have sell ratings, and Barclays has a price target of $5.00, saying in May that "from a SOTP analysis, we continue to view VHI as trading above its intrinsic value." A Seeking Alpha piece from a few weeks ago is similarly gloomy, with a $6 per share fair value.
All of this suggests that Simmons's estate owes less tax because it's really worth less than it was six months ago. In fact, if you taxed Simmons's heirs now based on the value of Valhi six months ago, they'd have almost nothing left of their stock.
But there's one more bit of the story.
On June 11, about two weeks ago, the Harold Simmons Foundation — the charitable foundation controlled by Simmons's heirs – filed with the SEC a plan to sell all of its 2.5 million shares. That's not a lot of stock, exactly — just 0.7 percent of the company, worth around $16 million at the time of the filing — but it is a lot relative to the usual volume of trading in Valhi. Remember, 93.8 percent of Valhi is owned by Simmons's heirs and never trades. Between December 27, 2013, and June 10, 2014, Valhi traded an average of 42,311 shares a day, so the foundation's shares represented almost 59 days' volume.
It sold them in 11 days:
The foundation's sales over the last two weeks or so accounted for over half of the volume, on average, each day. And the foundation's average sale on each of those days was more than five times the average volume over the previous six months. From Jan. 1 to June 10 of this year, more than five months, Valhi traded a total of 4.6 million shares. From June 11 to June 25, just over two weeks, it traded a total of 4.8 million shares — more than half of them sold by the Harold Simmons Foundation.
You might expect that to drive down the stock a bit? Actually the stock performed surprisingly well, all things considered; it closed on June 10 at $6.42 and on June 25 at $5.81, down just 9.5%. But just that change, from $6.42 per share to $5.81, would save Simmons' heirs almost $80 million in estate taxes.9
The foundation sold the last of its shares on June 25 (this Wednesday). Without any more shares to sell, the foundation — oh, wait, no, never mind, the foundation found some more shares to sell! On Wednesday, the day that it finished selling its 2.5 million shares, it received a "Gift from Affiliate" of another 900,000 shares. Those shares were gifted to the foundation by the Valhi Holding Company, the vehicle through which Simmons's heirs own their 318.2 million shares.10
The Foundation immediately filed a plan to sell those shares too, with an "approximate date of sale" of June 26 (yesterday).11 As of 1 p.m. today (June 27), I see Valhi trading in the $5.80s.
Isn't that neat? Honestly, I have no idea what's going on here.12
But if you did want to minimize your estate taxes on a multi-billion-dollar controlled public corporation with an illiquid stock, a good way to do it would be to have a foundation that you control dump a ton of stock on the market in the couple of weeks leading up to the day your estate is valued for tax purposes — and, when the foundation ran out of shares, give it a few more so it could keep selling. If the goal of this trading isn't to minimize taxes, I'll be very disappointed. Because it's working pretty well to do just that.
1 That's based on a Schedule 13D/A referring to events of Dec. 28, 2013, but filed in February 2014 and mentioning a stock transfer after Simmons's death ("In January 2014, Contran received as excess collateral 1,100,541 Shares from the CDCT (as defined below) and contributed 4,123,598 Shares to Dixie Rice, who contributed such shares on the same day to VHC.") I ignore that and assume that Contran owned all of the 318.2 million shares as of December 28; the difference is small.
2 From the 13D/A again:
The Foundation is a tax-exempt foundation organized for charitable purposes. Lisa K. Simmons and Serena Simmons Connelly are the sole members of the Foundation, serve as two of the three the directors on the Foundation's board of directors and are the president and executive vice president, respectively of the Foundation. They may be deemed to control the Foundation but disclaim all Shares they do not hold directly.
3 From a current Bloomberg HDS list I see BlackRock, Dimensional, Calpers, Fidelity and Citadel among the big-name holders, though all in fairly small size.
Incidentally, Simmons had other daughters who seem to have been frozen out of Valhi. Here is a 1997 New York Times story about Simmons with the headline "Daughters Do Battle With a Corporate King Lear." So.
4 Minus an exemption that, compared to the size of Simmons's estate, is very very small (single-digit millions).
5 This election only works if the estate has kept the property for the six months. Here's an Internal Revenue Service bulletin on the topic.
6 Here it is in percentage terms versus the S&P 500:
And perhaps most interesting, here's the last year, with Simmons's death in the middle:
To be fair, Simmons was the chairman of the board in 2013, though the company was managed by a chief executive officer, Steven L. Watson, who remains in charge.
7 I've cited my tax professor's two fundamental laws of tax before: that it is always better to have more money than less money, and that it is always better to die later than to die sooner. The second rule is always relevant in estate-tax situations too.
8 I'm using yesterday for convenience but in fact you'd have to use today's valuation. And the stock is down again today!
9 That is, 318.2 million shares times $0.61 per share times 40 percent is $77.6 million.
10 Now 317.3 million, I guess.
11 You shouldn't take that date too seriously; the foundation's June 11 filing stated an "approximate date of sale" of June 11, but it actually took about two weeks. Best guess, the foundation was/is selling those shares yesterday and today.
12 Do I even need to tell you that Simmons was a libertarian anti-tax advocate, had various run-ins with the IRS, and called President Barack Obama "the most dangerous man in America"? Or that "In 2009, a Dallas County jury found NL Industries" — one of the companies in Simmons's estate — "liable for not honoring contractual agreements and manipulating stock values"?

DOVER — With two games left in the regular season the Dover High School boys lacrosse team is trying to solidify a playoff spot.
The Green Wave took a step in that direction Friday with an 8-6 win over Oyster River at Dunaway Field.
Dover, which entered the game in seventh place in the Division II standings, improved to 6-7 with its second straight victory after snapping a four-game losing streak.
"This win helps us," said Dover coach Sean Houlahan, "but it doesn't take away from the fact that we still need to win our last two games. If we lose the last two games we're going to be on the bubble and the way the league is this year nobody wants to be the eight seed and face (undefeated and defending champion) Bedford."
The Bobcats, with similar playoff aspirations, dropped to 4-7 with three games remaining, including a makeup date this morning against Winnacunnet.
"Every game is real important right now, that's without a doubt" said OR coach Sean McGann. "We're fighting for a playoff spot. If we can get two more wins I think we'll be all right."
Oyster River occupied the eighth and final playoff spot going into Friday's contest. Dover swept the season series from the Bobcats, including an 8-5 victory earlier in the season.
Dover jumped out to an early lead Friday, forcing the Bobcats play from behind for all but 8:36 of the game.
"I think that was big," Houlahan said. "We've been a slow-starting team all year so the fact that we got out in front put us in good position overall for the game and gave us a good opportunity to win."
Ben Henderson figured in the Green Wave's first four goals, scoring three and assisting on the other.
Dover led 1-0 after one quarter and 3-1 at halftime thanks in large part to goalie Tyler Foley stopped the first eight shots he faced, including two stick saves from point-blank range on OR's Colby Runk and Brendan McKenna.
"Tyler has been our MVP all year," Houlahan said. "He has come up big in pretty much every game, constantly coming up with big saves and really making up for our lack of intensity out there. We've played a lot of defense this year, and we'd have a much different record if it wasn't for Tyler Foley."
"He's been the backbone of our team," Henderson said. "He saves us a lot. The first half he made a couple key saves that really changed the game for us."
The junior finished with 11 saves, eight in the first half to help protect the Green Wave's early lead.
"He made some incredible saves, absolutely," McGann said. "We had a lot of chances, we just had a tough time finding the holes in the net. He plugged that net up pretty good. He's a big boy."
Dover wanted to match the Bobcats' intensity, particularly in the early going.
"We knew that Oyster River would come out and they would be pressuring us hard," Houlahan said. "They have a couple players on their team that are really talented on the defensive side. I told my offense to keep moving the ball and make their defense move and good things would happen."
Henderson completed his hat trick 1:14 into the third quarter with a man-up goal assisted by Eli Cobb, who finished with a goal and two assists.
The Green Wave led 4-1 at that point and 5-2 at the end of three quarters. They went up 8-3 on an unassisted tally by Connor Carville with 4:27 remaining.
"I think we played really well," Henderson said. "The second half we played a little bit better. As a team we moved the ball a little bit better and found the open guy with the extra pass."
Cam Rewucki, Robert Markusic and Luc Ravenelle also scored for the Green Wave. OR goalie Lucas Bevins made nine saves.
"I thought my defense played a great game," McGann said. "I think where we struggled today was putting the ball in the back of the net. Eight isn't that many goals. I thought my goalie did a great job. We just couldn't go shot to shot with them today. That was the real problem."
Oyster River scored the game's final three goals, including two in the final 1:18
Aidan Conrad scored three goals for the Bobcats, who got two goals and an assist from Brendan McKenna.
Patrick McDonough scored for Oyster River to make it 8-5 with 1:18 left. McKenna connected with 19.4 seconds to play.
"The second half of the season we've been struggling a little bit," said Houlahan, whose club has games against Spaulding and St. Thomas left on the schedule. "We've got a little momentum here. We have two wins in a row and I'd to carry that into the playoffs."
Dover had a short stay in the playoffs last year after drawing Bedford in the first round.
"We're trying our best to stay in seventh or maybe move to sixth," Henderson said. "Right now we don't want to play Bedford in the first round like we did last year."
Dover boys keep OR at bay

RedSn0w, the popular jailbreaking tool has been updated to version 0.9.10b4 and now includes the long awaited fix for iBooks not being able to run on jailbroken iOS 5.0.1 devices.
The b4 version of redsn0w incorporates the 5.0.1 fix for iBooks, and also for sporadic problems with launchctl.  Thanks to @xvolks for merging the iBooks (sandbox) fix from @comex's github into the overall corona untether from @pod2g!  As usual, you can choose to install the fix either by re-running redsn0w over your existing jailbreak (de-select Cydia if you do that), or by installing the corona package from Cydia (it's the same set of files no matter which way you choose).
If you've previously jailbroken your iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch using redsn0w, all you need to do is re-jailbreak it using 0.9.10b4, but do remember to uncheck the "Install Cydia" option beforehand. Conversely, you can run the latest version of the Corona package (1.0.4) on Cydia in order to use iBooks once again.[via dev-team blog]

The Juan Santamaria International Airport in Costa Rica will soon be using solar-powered LED signs to light up their airfield, making it the first major civil airfield to use solar energy for their signs.
The Juan Santamaria International Airport is currently installing a large number of the solar LED signs, which will also help decrease the amount of expenditures and project cost with a minimal amount of disruption to aviation operations.
"The joint partnership of ADB and Carmanah was key to winning this project," said Carmanah CEO Bruce Cousins. "Originally specified for grid-power LED signs, solar presented an economic and reliable solution that is being picked up by civil airfields around the world."
The solar-powered signs (SSS) are great solutions for airfields that need to make quick safety improvement or that have a hard time accessing the electrical grid. The SSS at the Costa Rican airport will consist of an ADB sign and a solar engine power supply (SEPS) by Carmanah. The engine will make the airfield easier to operate in during night and low-light conditions. The LED sign can also be operated by a remote control to make position adjustments as needed.

A quintessential Rococo painting, Pater's Fête Champêtre portrays the aristocracy in leisure pursuit. The bucolic setting of this playful gathering derives ultimately from the garden party, a form of entertainment popular at the French court. Elegantly attired men, women and children converse, play music, and enjoy the beauty of the natural setting. The asymmetrical composition, free from a commanding perspective and the sensuous palette of warm and pastel colors combine to create a light and dreamy atmosphere. The idyllic tone of the gathering is further underscored by two marble putti and a dolphin, at top right, which emphasize the carefree activity of the gathering below.
This painting resided in two important collections prior to Mr. Simon's acquisition. In the late nineteenth century, it was owned by Ferdinand de Rothschild (1839–1898), an English art collector and member of the prominent Austrian Rothschild Family of bankers. The Pater was sold in 1939 to benefit the Lord Baldwin Fund, a program dedicated to the aid of Jewish child refugees from World War II. Shortly thereafter, the painting entered the collection of Mrs. Meyer Sassoon, a notable collector of eighteenth century French paintings.

"Readers who have been waiting for a worthy successor to Suzanne Collins' The Hunger Games will find it here. Dystopian sci-fi at its best, Starters is a terrific series kickoff with a didn't-see-that-coming conclusion that will leave readers on the edges of their seats . . ." raves the Los Angeles Times. In the future, teens rent their bodies to seniors who want to be young again. One girl discovers her renter plans to do more than party—her body will commit murder, if her mind can't stop it. Sixteen-year-old Callie lost her parents when the genocide spore wiped out everyone except those who were vaccinated first—the very young and very old. With no grandparents to claim Callie and her little brother, they go on the run, living as squatters, and fighting off unclaimed renegades who would kill for a cookie. Hope comes via Prime Destinations, run by a mysterious figure known only as The Old Man. He hires teens to rent their bodies to seniors, known as enders, who get to be young again. Callie's neurochip malfunctions and she wakes up in the life of her rich renter, living in her mansion, driving her cars, even dating Blake, the grandson of a senator. It's a fairy-tale new life . . . until she uncovers the Body Bank's horrible plan. . . . "STARTERS is a smart, swift, inventive, altogether gripping story. Callie Woodland, the narrator, deserves a series, and happily I am sure she'll get one!"—Dean Koontz

The Edward V. Sparer Public Interest Law Fellowship Program, established in 1985, has earned nationwide recognition and has become an important element in fulfilling that mission. The core component of the Sparer Fellowship Program is a ten week paid summer internship with a public interest organization in the U.S. or abroad. The program includes many other opportunities for enrichment as well. Fellows attend monthly luncheons that highlight current public interest issues, help plan academic events, and participate in the selection of entering Sparer fellows. Throughout their Law School years and beyond, fellows are mentored by faculty experts and leading professionals, including distinguished alumni fellows working in public interest law. Each year, a small number of entering students are selected for this program, as well as a group of current students in their first and second years of study. The Program also serves as a resource for the entire Law School community, sponsoring important public interest and multi-disciplinary forums and symposia. The program was named in honor of the late Ed Sparer, Professor of Law and Social Welfare at the University of Pennsylvania Law School, and a graduate of Brooklyn Law School in the class of 1959. Named as one of "The Lawyers of the Century" by American Lawyer, Professor Sparer was a pioneer in the fields of poverty and health law. His untimely death in 1983 ended the career of a nationally recognized teacher, scholar, and activist, but he remains an inspiration to those who are committed to public service law.

I then quickly reverted back to my old ways of womanly manipulation which involved evenings spent rolling around on the floor drunk - and not in a good way - moaning to Chris about how haaaard it was to work and also raise oooone chiiiild and why can't you just go play the Lotto or maybe you belong to an Indian tribe have you checked lately because they get checks for just BEING ALIVE?
Tragically, the whining episodes didn't have the same effect on Chris they had in the past. I was mostly left there, tufts of carpet in my hair, staring at the ceiling contemplating how I could quit working while maintaining the fantastical standard of living we had grown accustomed to complete with indoor plumbing and 99 cent Taco Night.
How exactly does one get into organ harvesting, I wondered.
Then when my business started getting busy, one of my clients - okay, my ONLY client - asked me to come work in-house for them. It was more money and seemed like a great excuse to buy some Gap straight leg trousers, so I accepted. And that's when I started spending my days hoping to catch a staple in the eye so I could go home.
Life Lesson Learned: I do not like working. No matter what pants I'm wearing.
It's hard to believe that it's been two years since I started working and yet if you look at my floors, my weight, or my cuticles, it's not hard to believe at all. I'm no multi-tasker that's for sure. But, I have performed well if I do say so myself considering that I reentered the workforce with no real marketable skills other than Wii tennis and picking up things with my toes (like hammers). Also, an uncanny ability to choose the winner of the Bachelor on the first episode. (Leaving that off my resume was painful, because come on. The first episode?)
We may not have a fully funded 401K yet, but I can hardly remember the last time we paid for milk with nickels, so I THINK THAT MEANS I WIN.
So, I'm done now. I think we can afford for me to quit working. Which is good because I quit my job yesterday. And it feels pretty damn sweet.
Now, can we get back to discussing more important stuff around here like why a mom at school asked if I was pregnant and then when I said I wasn't, ARGUED. WITH. ME? Not. Even. Kidding. I'll give you the details later. Right now, I'm going to go celebrate no longer being a contributing member of society. Way overrated.

Getting There
Due to the limited capacity of the local roads, the Gendarmes will establish a traffic control zone on all the approach roads to Fromelles and access to the village will be restricted.
By Car. If you plan to travel to Fromelles by car you will need to use the Park and Ride facility (see map).
By Taxi. There are multiple taxi companies in Lille which may be able to take you to Fromelles. Prior to the event Taxis will be given access to Fromelles for drop off only and will not be allowed to wait in the village. For guidance the approximate fare from Lille to Fromelles is €50. Please do not pre-book your taxi for your return journey from Fromelles as taxis will not be allowed into the village after the event. A shuttle bus will be provided to take you to Beaucamps-Ligny where a taxi rank will be established for your onward journey.
By Tour Bus. Tour buses are required to park at the coach park (see map) . The walk from the coach park to the entrance of the public event site is approximately 600 metres.
All guests will need to show tickets at all Gendarme control points.
Disabled Access
There is a disabled parking area close to the village for those with Disabled Car Badges.
There will be spaces for wheelchairs in the public event area and, if required, disabled transport will also be available for the 200 metre distance from the vehicle drop-off point.
The Event
Background information about the Battle of Fromelles and the work leading up to the day's events will be shown on a large screen at the site. The ceremony will also be shown on the screen. The dedication ceremony will include the re-interment, with full military honours, of an un-named soldier by a joint burial party from the Australian and British Armies.
Toilets (including disabled toilets), a First Aid post, information displays and catering facilities where food and beverages can be purchased will be available in the public area, which is a field adjacent to the cemetery. These will be available both prior to, and after, the ceremony.
The weather in Fromelles in July can be difficult to predict, ranging from very hot and sunny to cool and wet. Please note this is an outdoor event; the public viewing area is in a field and you may be there for over two hours, so please dress and prepare accordingly. The ceremony will proceed regardless of the weather. There is no overhead protection from the elements in the public viewing area.
All guests are to carry photographic identification (eg passport or national ID card) in case of security checks at the site.
Mobile Telephones and Photography
Please ensure that all mobile telephones are switched off during the ceremony. Photography during the ceremony is permitted but guests are reminded to pay due respect to the activity being undertaken.
Access to Cemetery and Wreath Laying
On 19 July, access inside the cemetery itself is limited to those participating in the ceremony and to the families of named soldiers buried within.
Visitors wishing to lay wreaths on 19 July may do so near the entrance gate to the cemetery after 1315. At the end of proceedings all wreaths will be taken up to the Cross of Sacrifice.
On Tuesday 20 July UK families will have an opportunity for a reflection period from 9am – 9.45am.
The cemetery will open to the general public at 10am on Tuesday 20 July. Event infrastructure will be being dismantled at this time, but there will be pedestrian access to the cemetery. Safety of visitors is of utmost importance. The parking area will remain closed – visitors will have to park in the village and walk into the cemetery.

An estimated one billion people will stop what they are doing to watch the London 2012 opening ceremony Friday, as athletes from across the globe officially open the games of the 30th Olympiad during a $42 million extravaganza.
The opening ceremony -- titled "Isles of Wonder" -- was created by Oscar winning director Danny Boyle of "Slumdog Millionaire" and "Trainspotting" fame. Leading up to the blockbuster show, Boyle said: "Our Isles of Wonder salutes and celebrates the exuberant creativity of the British genius in an opening ceremony that we hope will be as unpredictable and inventive as the British people."
When to watch
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
The ceremony will be broadcast at 7:30 p.m. ET / PT on NBC.
What You'll See
Not all details are known (but there are plenty of predictions) and Danny Boyle no doubt has some surprises in store for the 62,000 people in the stadium and those watching at home. His chosen title was inspired by a speech in Shakespeare's "The Tempest." "It is about the wondrous beauty of Caliban's island and his deep, deep devotion to it," Boyle told The Guardian.
Boyle has crafted a special short film featuring actor Daniel Craig in the role of James Bond along with Queen Elizabeth II, who will naturally play herself, according to The Sun. In the film, Bond reportedly arrives at Buckingham Palace where he is knighted and then sent on a special mission to open the London Games. Bond boards a helicopter that will fly up the Thames, under Tower Bridge and drop the British Secret Service agent at the Olympic stadium.
The official ceremony begins with the ringing of a bell – the largest bell ever cast in Europe – that will hang at one end of the stadium.
The stadium will be transformed into a British countryside scene featuring fields, meadows and live animals including sheep, horses, cows, chickens and goats. According to the Daily Mail, there'll be a cricket pitch and synthetic clouds will reportedly hang above the bucolic pastures. Four giant Maypoles will represent England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland.
The green will give way to an industrial landscape featuring the Houses of Parliament and Royal Albert Hall. Performers will then recreate the Jarrow march of 1936 when 200 walked to London to protest poverty and unemployment in the north east. There will be a tribute to the suffragette movement and the British National Health Service will be honored by real nurses pushing hospital beds around the arena.
More than 10,000 volunteers will take part in the performances. And soccer star David Beckham will be in there somewhere.
The 86 musical tracks selected for the ceremony were mixed by techno group Underworld and will include the theme from "Chariots of Fire," "London Calling" by The Clash, "Firestarter" by The Prodigy, the Eton Boating Song, and the theme from the English drama series "The Eastenders."
As the head of state, the Queen will be received at the stadium's entrance by the president of the International Olympic Committee, Jaques Rogge.
The above will be followed by the procession of athletes who enter nation by nation.
Once the approximately 10,000 athletes are in their places, former British Olympic medalist for middle distance running Sebastian Coe will make a speech and then Rogge will invite the Queen to officially declare the Games open.
After the declaration, the Olympic flag will be carried into the stadium and hoisted into the air as the official Olympic anthem is played. The Olympic Charter states that the flag must fly for the duration of the Games in a prominent position in the main stadium.
A participating athlete, coach and judge from the host nation will then stand on the rostrum, each holding a corner of the IOC flag in their left hand. They will then raise their right hand and take the Olympic Oath, vowing to compete and judge according to the rules of their respective sports.
Lighting the Flame
The climax of the ceremony will be the arrival of the Olympic flame at the stadium – which is rumored to be approaching the venue from the water – and the lighting of the Olympic Cauldron at around midnight London time.
Who will actually light the cauldron is shrouded in mystery. Traditionally it is a former Olympic athlete from the host nation.
Hey Jude!
Former Beatle Sir Paul McCartney confirmed that he will end the opening ceremony with a musical performance. While the exact song list has not been released, the Sunday Times reports that it will include a sing-a-long version of the 1968 Beatle hit "Hey Jude." The rumors concerning the choice of song began when McCartney omitted playing "Hey Jude" as part of his Diamond Jubilee performance last month.
No Olympic opening ceremony is complete without a dazzling display of pyrotechnics to end the event. Topping the spectacular fireworks that concluded the Beijing 2008 Games may be difficult, but London officials are sure to end the evening with a glittering extravaganza.

Bitter ousting: Minor fires Danielson from Landmark project
"I am the former developer of the Landmark Hotel."
With those words Lee Danielson confirms to the Hook that he is no longer tied to the Downtown Mall luxury hotel project– at least for now.
"I am taking no legal action at this time," says Danielson, "but I am talking to my attorneys."
Danielson learned of the personnel change by letter from attorneys representing Landmark owner Halsey Minor. Danielson thinks he may have a case against Minor due to what he says was their agreement.
"He has two choices," says Danielson. "He can either fire me for quality, and I can't figure out how that would be since we were working ahead of schedule, or he can pay me what I'm owed."
For now work does continue on the Landmark. A work crew operated on the half-finished structure this afternoon.
Danielson says that while this is ultimately a question of business, it does hurt him personally that he is off the Landmark project.
"The Landmark is near and dear to my heart," says Danielson. "I thought it was going well, it was going ahead of schedule, and I just don't understand this."
The project has been embroiled in controversy since last month when Georgia-based Silverton Bank withheld some loan money for the project. Minor said this was a result of Silverton defaulting. Danielson and Silverton contended that no such default had occurred.
Minor did not immediately return the Hook's call for comment, but in a November 28 online comment, citing "many issues of poor coordination," he remarked that Danielson "will not be anywhere near the project.
"I have hired a firm that specializes in construction management of hotels to replace Lee, and they are busy cleaning up," Minor noted.
"Lee's history speaks for itself in Charlottesville and LA," continued Minor, referring apparently to post-development acrimony that attended the construction of the Charlottesville Ice Park and Regal Downtown Cinema.
"He had been trying to get someone to back him for four years on the hotel, and just as time was running out I gave him a shot," Minor wrote. "I don't think there are any Halsey Minors left for Lee in his future, I am afraid. This nasty blowup will most likely be his last. Life is too short."
Charlottesville Mayor Dave Norris says that while he has no knowledge of whether or how quickly the Landmark is set to be completed, he emphasizes that while the nine-story luxury hotel would be a "vital contributor to Downtown," but that economic life will go on Downtown with or without it.
"If it never exists," says Norris, "it's not like Downtown will die a peaceful death."
Norris says he's hopeful that the project will be completed as scheduled, but has no inside information as to how construction is proceeding and has generally stayed out of the project. Asked whether he has tried to mediate the spat between Danielson and Minor, Norris shudders at the thought.
"Absolutely not," says the mayor, "I'm no dummy."

Gotta put my money on Minor on this one. Sounds like the project was way off course and probably way over budget. There is only a finite amount of $$ for a construction project as any more would make repayment in doubt so long as the cash flow from the project is not enhanced by the additional improvements.
It will be interesting to see if the train is lifted back on the tracks or taken apart and carried away in pieces.
Considering the bickering between these two it's no surprise to me they've parted ways. Good luck to Minor on his project. Let's not have an eyesore on the downtown mall.
Juan, por-favor dump a pile of sand on the sidewalk and stick three shovels in it and put hard hats on the shovels so we can get our picture taken.
mr/Mrs/Miss Yikes, trust me, there is no way on God's Green Earth this hotel will not be completed. Even if the city taxpayers have to foot the bill to complete it. We have prior experience in building or completing expensive hotels. In case you don't recall, it was called the Radisson at the time. It is now known as the Omni.
Local food. Local music. Local bailouts here we come!
pretty amazing that "Yikes" can come up with such a conclusion about the project as it has never been reported in any of the papers. Seems like someone other than Minor dreamt this up and got it through the process.
From what I can see is that Minor should start a law firm.
Too many big men on campus it appears. Maybe THE U could use another hotel?
"I'm no dummy."--Can't we get through an article without a politician lying to us? Oh, and if Minor insists on keeping the cool "high tech wunderkind billionaire boy" Jackson Browne haircut, he should at least button that sports jacket to hide that beer gut. If Halsey Minor fell for Lee Majors and got married in Hawaii, would be he Halsey Minor-Majors?
Re your comment on the mayor, Dave Norris doesn't lie. Straight up, he doesn't. You and he may have differing opinions, or you may think he's a jerk or something, but the man tells the truth. I've good reason to believe that his unwavering sense of fairness, decency, and unwillingness to lie has not made him particularly popular among many of the local politicians and fat-cats. If you ever need to talk to him about something, he's 100% accessible and willing to listen, even if you disagree with him. No ego trips like we've experienced with previous mayors and councilors. Go ahead and contact him-- you'll probably be pleasantly surprised.
Agreed on all else in your post, however
Hey Now, are you really the mayor himself but not willing to reveal your name since you agreed that Minor should cover his gut??
I feel bad for Lee because I've met him and he is an awesome person with something not too many rich people like himself have these days and that's emotion. Albiet that means nothing in the business world I would still rather fly in his jet before Minor's.
Let's all hope we as taxpayers can benefit from this structure...
Definitely not the mayor! (He don't toot his own horn.) He and I have disagreed often enough, but I have a lot of professional respect for the guy. Hope my comment reflected that.
Here's something else he has that Minor doesn't-- a sense of modesty and humility.
Thanks for the insight about Danielson. Never met him, though he seems an interesting character.
The only thing that needs cleaning up is minor's mess. If there was concern for Danielson's background why go into business with him? One might ask the same question to Danielson... Why go into business with someone who has burned more bridges than a wildfire?
To Mr. Minor, get it together. Stop with the snotty attitude. Life is too short to wish you were Warren Buffet, without a shot in hell.
I don't believe Charlottesville welcomes those with lack of compassion,grace, and character, such as yourself.
Have a great day....try not to get sued.
Lee is a stand up guy...I can't imagine what happened here, but I have to weigh in and say he's honest, hard working, and has never crossed anyone.
The article actually got me thinking. But a big question bugs my mind,do you have to pick up a job just any job just because you want to learn?What about the major considerations which informs the decision to take up a job- finance, self actualisation , proficiency and probably losing oneself to forget a terrible experience. Are these considerations worth throwing to the wind just because one wants to learn. To my mind Iwould advocate for jobs that take in to considerations these basic needs epecially with a bias to a comfortable financial remuneration. Besides there is a basic principle in jobseeking which requires that one should always look for jobs in areas one is best suited. It is not a random sampling apprach but a rational decision aimed at bringing out the highest level of productivity and satisfaction in the best interest of both the employed and the employee.The above notion only works to discourage proficiency and can only be tenable where there is no intention of permanence.I do not know of the society being referred to in the article but I believe the views I represent are universal.
Dear Bryte--
Obviously your view isn't "universal" or the nice Ms. Trunk would not espoused a contrary view.

Marking the Kickoff of Winter Cycling Season, the Freewheel Winter Bike Expo Returns With Fat Tires, Snow Bike Races and Fun!
Being a born and bred Californian, Minneapolis in the winter isn't the first thing I think of when it comes to winter cycling. I traveled to Madison a couple of years ago to see Trek's World Headquarters, which WAS during February and that was plenty cold enough.
But if you leave in or near Minneapolis or if you are a fat bike aficionado, there is a MUST ATTEND event happening this weekend. On December 8, the second annual Winter Bike Expo at the Freewheel Midtown Bike Center highlights winter cycling bikes, products, apparel and lifestyle. The expo's goal is "to offer a venue for cyclists of all persuasions to celebrate the onset of winter riding." There will be fat bike demos, racing, seminars, and more. Read on.
Expo attendees can take advantage of fatbike test rides and studded tire demonstrations throughout the day on the outdoor demo course. Representatives from Surly Bikes, Salsa Cycles, Trek Bikes, Gore Bike Wear, 45NRTH, Pearl Izumi, Bontrager, Shimano, SRAM, Louis Garneau, and Lazer Helmets will be on site to answer questions about the specialized equipment for winter cyclists. New to the Winter Bike Expo this year is a concept bike gallery, featuring full suspension fatbikes and a never-before-seen carbon fatbike.
Dave Pramann, multiple Arrowhead 135 champion, is presenting techniques for surviving the most brutally cold bike race outside of Alaska. In addition, experts from across all cycling disciplines are presenting seminars on winter bike camping, cutting-edge cycling outerwear, winter commuting, and more.
The expo concludes with the second edition of the Superfat Crit, a fatbike-only bike race held on a course designed to highlight the efficacy of their super-wide tires. This flashy spectacle of athletic prowess and radical bike technology is a crowd favorite for Expo attendees.

About the Winter Bike Expo:
The Winter Bike Expo is presented by Freewheel Bike. Founded in Minneapolis in 1974, Freewheel Bike is a nationally recognized leader in the bicycle industry. This locally-owned, independent business is heralded as a seven-time top 100 dealer, and their newest location in Eden Prairie, MN was recently presented with the Best New Bike Shop Award by Bicycle Retailer & Industry News. Over the past five years, Freewheel Bike has grown into one of the country's largest sellers of studded bicycle tires and fat tire snow bikes. As participation in cold weather cycling activities expands across the country, the Winter Bike Expo is stepping into spotlight as the national kickoff event to the winter cycling season.

Legislative Process
"Legislative process" refers to the established series of steps which constitute the City's formal decision-making system through which local laws are enacted and public policies adopted to govern the community. In Minneapolis, that process is dictated by Minnesota Statutes, the Minneapolis City Charter & Code of Ordinances, and the City Council's Rules of Order. Subject to these authorities, the Council transacts official business through the enactment of ordinances and the adoption of resolutions.
The City Charter requires the Council to exercise legislative authority by ordinance. Thus, ordinances are local laws, equivalent to "municipal statutes." Ordinances are generally enforceable by criminal prosecution, usually as a misdemeanor, or by civil actions such as seeking a court order or injunction. Once enacted, ordinances are codified and published as part of the Minneapolis Code of Ordinances.
Unlike an ordinance, a resolution is not binding law. Instead, resolutions are used to provide policy direction, to set or amend operating policies and procedures, to memorialize administrative actions, to approve contracts and agreements or to settle claims, to appropriate funds, or to submit charter amendments for a referendum election; these are examples of the types of non-legislative matters handled by resolution.
Following is a synopsis of the major steps involved in the City's legislative process. See a legislative process diagram.
The first step in the legislative process is giving notice of intent to introduce a proposal. The Council Member sponsoring the measure must provide notice of his or her intent to submit the proposal—in writing—at a formal meeting of the full City Council. Giving notice is a procedural function that alerts all Council Members, affected City departments and divisions, and the general public about the proposal and its general subject matter. Notices are generally calendared under the order of new business. After notice is given, proposals hold-over to the next Council cycle for formal introduction, first reading, and referral.
Introduction, First Reading & Referral
After notice is given, at a subsequent meeting of the full City Council, the new proposal (above) is taken up under unfinished business where the matter is formally introduced, given its first reading (by title only), and referred by the Council President to the standing committee(s) with subject-matter jurisdiction.
There are two basic types of "introduction": first, the introduction of ordinances proposing new local laws or public policies; second, the introduction of all other matters. Resolutions and all other non-legislative matters are generally introduced and referred simultaneously. As part of the regular order presentation of petitions, communications & reports, these matters are collectively introduced and referred to the standing committee(s) with proper subject-matter jurisdiction. Ordinances, however, require a two-step notice and introduction process. Notice of a new ordinance is provided under the order of new business in one cycle, and is held-over and introduced as part of the Introduction & Referral Calendar in a second cycle.
Committee Action
The bulk of the Council's work is done in its standing committees. Each standing committee has primary jurisdiction over a defined sphere of municipal policy and oversight of the departments and divisions that fall under its purview. Committees provide a public forum where legislative and policy proposals are reviewed and evaluated, perfected through the regular amendatory process, and put in final form for recommendation to the full City Council. Committees also provide the most significant opportunity for the public to engage in the legislative process, through the conduct of public hearings and the acceptance of public testimony or public comments.
All committee meetings are open to the public; however, the meeting—or portions of the meeting—may be closed to the public for purposes allowed under the Minnesota Open Meetings Law. The chair of the committee oversees the preparation of the meeting agenda which contains a listing and brief description of all matters items to be considered. Although this primarily includes those matters referred by the City Council, committees also may consider matters submitted by City officers or by City departments and divisions to facilitate expeditious action. Standing committees conduct public hearings on proposals when required by law or by the direction of the City Council, and for that purpose take public testimony on the proposals. In addition, a standing committee may accept public comments on items even if a formal public hearing is not required.
When a committee has completed its evaluation of each proposal, it forwards its recommendation in the form of a committee report to the full City Council. Committee recommendations are limited to: approve; approve as amended; do not approve; or forward without recommendation.
Council Action
During the order of reports of standing committees, the chairs of each standing committee present the reports on all proposals that had been previously referred, considered, and acted upon by the committee. The City Council may act on all reported items in a single omnibus motion, or may separate individual proposals for formal consideration and action. At this stage of the process, the proposal may be: passed or adopted and transmitted to the Mayor; amended by the City Council and either passed or adopted and transmitted to the Mayor; remanded back to the committee of reference or to another committee for further consideration; or defeated by formal action of the City Council. Final action by the City Council generally requires a simple majority vote, unless a higher threshold is established in state law or the City Charter.
After action by the City Council, the City Clerk engrosses any amendments, adds the final vote tally, and transmits a certified version to the Mayor.
Mayoral Consideration
Pursuant to the City Charter, the Mayor must approve or disapprove all measures acted upon by the City Council within five days (excepting Sundays). Within that period, the Mayor must either: (1) Approve the actions and authenticate the same by signature; (2) veto the actions and return the same, with stated objections thereto, to the City Clerk; or (3) allow the actions to become effective without signature after the five-day period expires.
When the official actions are returned by the Mayor, the City Clerk attests the Mayor's signature. If the Mayor vetoes a specific matter, it is automatically reconsidered at the next regular meeting of the full City Council. The City Council may accept the Mayor's veto or, by a two-thirds supermajority vote, can override the veto and approve the action(s). If the City Council does re-pass the proposal by overriding the Mayor's veto, it is then considered adopted.
Publication & Codification
Under state law, all ordinances, resolutions, and other actions must be published in the City's official newspaper before becoming effective. Publication generally occurs eight days after Council's final action, in the Saturday edition of the next week. After publication, the Clerk's Office indexes all official actions and prepares the original documents for permanent archival. Ordinances are codified within the proper titles, chapters, and sections of the Minneapolis Code of Ordinances. In the case where an ordinance is amending the City Charter, the City Clerk incorporates the new ordinance in the proper chapter and section based on the subject matter.
At the conclusion of each annual session, the Council's journal (its official record), together with all original ordinances and resolutions and an index to all of these together, is printed and bound as the Official Proceedings of the City Council – City of Minneapolis. Bound copies of the Official Proceedings are distributed as follows:
- Two complete sets to the City of Minneapolis – Office of City Clerk;
- One complete set to each of the following:
- City of Minneapolis – Office of City Attorney;
- Hennepin County (Minneapolis) Public Library – Government Documents Section;
- State of Minnesota Law Library; and
- University of Minnesota Law Library.

Greek Diagrams Done For You
Remember diagramming sentences in school? If you're under forty, you might not, but I have vivid memories of diagramming sentences in high school English. At the time it seemed like a pointless exercise, but years later, I came to see its usefulness, especially when it comes to exegeting complex Greek sentences. The Reed-Kellogg system of diagramming is among the oldest and best known. It emphasizes the logical relationships among words and phrases in a sentence, enabling you to see through the peripheral information to the key points being made.
Accordance was the first Bible program to offer diagramming, all the way back in version 3.0. By selecting some text and choosing Diagram from the Language tools (previously on the Resource palette but now on the Workspace toolbar), you could then move the text around and diagram it using a variety of symbols. This was great, but you had to do all the diagramming yourself. Eventually some enterprising users began sharing their diagrams, but we never had anything systematic or complete.
That all changed last week when we released our new Greek Diagrams module. The same scholar responsible for most of our grammatically-tagged Greek texts has carefully diagrammed all the Pauline epistles and will eventually complete the rest of the New Testament. Greek Diagrams is just $59.99, and as with all such work-in-progress resources, when you buy it now you get free upgrades until it is complete.
The Greek Diagrams tool can be displayed in parallel with the Greek text, making it easy to see its logical structure. If you're learning to diagram on your own, you can use it as a basis of comparison with your own work. The Greek words are color-coded according to part of speech, and if you hover over them in the diagram pane you get the full parsing and gloss information.
Greek Diagrams is available now for purchase and easy install. Also, don't forget that today is the last day to take advantage of our Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale.

Hey Robb, I am going to blog on these releases later this week, but in the meantime you can find them peppered throughout the New Releases page.
Paul Felix
I am not sure my previous message made it. Who is the scholar responsible for the diagrams?
Helen Brown
Dr. Rex Koivisto, our resident Greek scholar.
Chris Zodrow
Doesn't this defeat the whole purpose of diagramming: to learn the text, intimately, on one's own? Seems like a raod to more superficial Bible study. Ownership hubris.
Bob Kuo
Chris: I think it depends on how it is used. I would use this to check my work, to see if and how I disagree with these diagrams. Perhaps I made a mistake or perhaps the text is ambigious or perhaps there is a difference in interpretation. I think this kind of comparison is very useful.
However, I do see that someone could use this inappropriately by going to these diagrams first before wrestling with the text. But that is also true of commentaries - they make good conversation partners but are dangerous if they supplant the text itself.

Quantum Mechanics and Wrong Information
How it's possible to know less than zero
From: John Raines
I was reading Slashdot this evening and came across something that is strongly reminiscent of the famous "Dave" letter about electric trailer brakes, etc.
The item was titled "Quantum Information Can Be Negative," and proceeds:
"In a development that would probably even puzzle Claude Shannon, information can be negative - at least when the information is quantum. The discovery, by Horodecki, Oppenheim, and Winter, appears in the current edition of the leading journal Nature. If I tell you negative information, you'll know less. Apparently, researchers hope to use this to gain deeper insights into phenomena such as quantum teleportation and computation, as well as the very structure of the quantum world."
More information can be found here and here. A popular account of the article can be found on Oppenheim's homepage, and a free version of the article can be found in the arxiv.org for those of us without subscriptions to Nature.

Board clears way for same-sex marriage ballot vote
Maryland's elections board has certified a petition to put the state's new same-sex marriage law on the November ballot.
The Maryland Marriage Alliance, which opposes the law, on Wednesday said it submitted more than 162,000 signatures to repeal it. The Maryland Board of Elections stopped verifying after confirming more than 109,000 signatures.
"We had absolutely no doubt that we would secure and even surpass the number of signatures needed," said McCoy. "Our alliance of partners has been working tirelessly to make sure that every registered voter in the state has an opportunity to let their voice be heard on this very important issue."
The number surpasses the 55,736 signatures needed to ensure the referendum goes on the November 2012 ballot.
In the letter to Chairman of the Maryland Marriage Alliance Derek McCoy, Maryland State Elections Administrator Linda H. Lamone wrote that the final certification is warranted.
Advocates and opponents now will have to create ballot committees and track donations and expenses.
NAACP Chairman Julian Bond issued a statement Tuesday supporting the rights of same-sex couples to marry and said Marylanders will be "casting a vote on the law - not on their faith."
"We are encouraged by the continued momentum and enthusiasm that voters from all corners of the state have shown. Our opponents have worked hard to try and convince Marylanders that they should evolve on this issue," said McCoy. "But the phenomenal success of the campaign to protect the definition of marriage makes one thing clear: the people of this state believe that the definition of marriage cannot evolve. It is the union of one man and one woman."

Port returns to round-the-clock operations
The Port of Houston returned Thursday to around-the-clock operations, five days after a collision spilled thousands of gallons of oil into the Galveston Bay.
Operations at the port had been on a shortened schedule for two days and fog could force pilots to close the waterway to traffic Thursday evening, a common occurrence in the spring, said Capt. Clint Winegar, vice president of the Houston Pilots.
Late Thursday, authorities announced that the port is open to all marine vessels, commercial and recreational.
And while swimming is now allowed, state health officials are advising people not to swim in areas where they can see oil.
Some of the spilled oil from the ship-barge collision in Galveston Bay reached Matagorda Island on Thursday, officials said.
The Texas General Land Office reported that oil from a punctured barge had fouled at least 12 miles of the Island, an uninhabited sliver of land favored by migratory birds, deer, alligators and other wildlife.
In preparation, the Coast Guard and Texas General Land Office deployed about 150 workers and 11 vessels to put more than 50,000 feet of boom in place to protect the environmentally sensitive area.
Teams already have staged about 40,000 feet of boom, and an additional 45,000 feet was expected, officials said.
The barrier island is home to about 20 species listed as threatened or endangered by state and federal agencies. They include the peregrine falcon, piping plover and whooping crane.

Go See Him While You Can, People
Albert Pujols has played just nine Major League seasons and in each and every one of them he's hit over 30 homeruns, collected more than 100 RBI and batted over .300. Those aren't just good numbers, folks. Those are astronomical numbers.
And this is his best year yet.
I think it's time we stop referring to Albert Pujols as the future Hall of Famer that he is — because let's face it, if the man's career ends today he'll be a first ballot lock* — and start acknowledging that he is indeed one of the greatest players to ever play the game, all-time, in the history of the game.
Can we just stop and think about that for a minute?
In our present game, today, right this second, we are witnessing a rare and genuine paragon of baseball supremacy.
Stop — and — think — about — that.
My Dad saw Gibson.
My Grandpa saw Musial.
And Albert will trump them both.
By a long shot.
I know it's hard to understand while it's happening. I realize that, in most cases, we do not realize what great feats we are witnessing firsthand until it's too late, until our heroes are lifted in the 7th for defensive replacements, until they're embarking on sappy, over-produced farewell tours.
But right now we all have the opportunity to savor the greatness, to take it all in, to let it move us.
There are many beautiful women: Erin Andrews, Heidi Derosa, Allison Stokke… but none of them are Marilyn Monroe.
Great presidents abound in Franklin D. Roosevelt and George Washington; but there is only one Abraham Lincoln.
Sure, Metallica is great and all but there's only one Pink Floyd.
And yes. There is only one Albert Pujols.
Don't hate me. 'Cuz I'm right.
*As one reader pointed out, a player needs 10 years in the Majors before being eligible; consider my phrase a simple bout of hyperbole

Celebrities Unaware of Sandusky Charity Board Membership
Mark Wahlberg, Arnold Palmer, Cal Ripken listed on Second Mile honorary board.
Nov. 17, 2011 -- The allegations of sexual molestation of young boys leveled against a former Penn State football coach have shocked the nation, but a few celebrities were in for another jolt when they found out their names were directly tied to the coach's and apparently had been for years.
From movie star Mark Wahlberg to baseball icon Cal Ripken Jr. and golf legend Arnold Palmer, a handful of household names were listed on the Honorary Board for the Second Mile Foundation, the charity former Penn State defensive coach Jerry Sandusky founded in the 1970s and, according to investigators, used to meet some of his alleged victims. Sandusky currently faces dozens of charges surrounding the alleged sexual abuse of several young boys over a 15 year period. He has admitted to showering with some of the boys, but maintains he is innocent of any criminal acts.
Some of the celebrities, like Wahlberg and Ripken Jr., said they never had any idea they were on the board and only had a passing acquaintance with the charity.
In a statement to ABC News, a representative for Wahlberg said he had only made a couple donations to the charity and never participated in any events. Ripken Jr. was so surprised that he asked Second Mile to remove his name from the list last week, according to a report from The Baltimore Sun. Second Mile has since removed the list completely from their website.
A representative for Palmer said he did not know how the golfer made his way onto the board, but it was possibly because Palmer is a Pennsylvania native.
"You know how honorary boards work, where they just like to add a name to the honorary board," Cori Britt, Vice President of Arnold Palmer Enterprises, told ABC News Wednesday. "[Palmer] never performed any functions, never attended any of the meetings or did any activities surrounding Second Mile.
"It was purely by name only," he said.
Britt said that at the time Palmer's name was added, however, Palmer had most likely given the charity permission to do so.
Philadelphia Eagles coach Andy Reid told ESPN he was "unaware" he was a member of the board and former Notre Dame coach and ESPN analyst Lou Holtz found himself in a similar position when he penned a statement about his connection to the charity last week.
"Only yesterday did I realize I was on their advisory board," Holtz wrote. "I have had no contact or correspondence with Second Mile or Jerry Sandusky since 2009 with the exception of thank you notes for one of their most successful events.
"If the allegations are true, I, like the many good people who support Second Mile, am upset over being misled," Holtz said.
Second Mile did not respond to a request for comment on this report.
