I'm off this morning to coach at the U.S. Olympic Trials (Cary, NC, Feb. 9-12), so no blog entries the next two days. See you all again on Monday - hopefully with lots of news from the Trials!
U.S. Olympic Trials Live Streaming and Schedule
Yes, you can watch the U.S. Olympic Trials live! They are care of NBC Universal Sports Live Feeds. (Trials are Feb. 9-12, Thur-Sun, in Cary, NC.)
Here is the basic format of the Trials. For both men and women, the top ten seeded players are seeded to the Top Twelve. The rest play a qualifier on Thursday, Feb. 9, for the final two spots. On the men's side, 32 players (13 of them rated over 2400, led by Jeff Huang and Dan Seemiller at 2504 and 2494) will play single elimination to the final two, who will advance to the Top Twelve. On the women's side, there are only three in the qualifier, so they will play a rather short round robin to see which two advance to the Top Twelve. (See player listing below to see who the players are in the Qualifiers.)
The players in the Top Twelve then play a complete round robin, eleven matches each, four on Friday, four on Saturday, and three on Sunday. All matches are best 4 out of 7.
Note that the tentative playing times are listed in the Prospectus above.

The non-playing arm
While coaching yesterday I found myself having trouble moving to my left to block against a student's loop. Something felt wrong. I grabbed my towel, and stalled while trying to figure it out. Then it hit me - I'd been coaching for three hours, and I'd gotten lazy with my left (non-playing) arm. Instead of holding it out for balance, it was hanging loosely by my side. Without it to counterbalance my playing arm, and to actually initiate rotations to the left by pulling, my movements were sluggish. I raised the arm, and the problem was gone. I felt like greased lightning again. (Okay, tired greased lightning.)
The irony is that I'm always harping on my students to use their non-playing arm for balance. Many players, especially beginners, simply do not use it, letting it hang down like a limp rag. You not only need it for balance, but in any rotation to the left (moving to play a backhand, any forehand stroke) you should pull with that side.
Special note to coaches: It's very easy for a coach to get lazy or tired from hours of coaching, and to let the non-playing arm hang loosely. Most coaches are strong enough players that it won't greatly affect their play. However, this puts great pressure on your upper back to rotate the upper body without any help from the non-playing arm, which should be both balancing as well as initiating many movements. If you do this, you'll probably end up with back problems. I know now that this is one of the reasons I had so many back problems last year.
Why red and black?
For those not historically-endowed, the two-color rule was passed in 1983 so that players could tell which side an opponent with two surfaces used to hit the ball. Originally the rule was that the surface colors must be "clearly different." Players and manufacturers immediately began the search for "clearly different" colors that look the same in action - and they found it in black and maroon. When examined, they are clearly different, but when the racket is moving and ten or so feet away, they are hard to tell apart. Confusion reigned.
So the ITTF ruled that the two surfaces must be black and cherry red. The latter was later changed to bright red.
An interesting side issue is that for many years the die used for the black side dye slowed the surface down. Because of this, most players put black on their backhands, red on the forehands. (There was a study on this once, and found that 70% of tournament players had red on the forehand. I was one of the rebels - I've had black on my forehand since 1983! I like a springy backhand.) This isn't a problem anymore, but perhaps because players tend to copy other players, I think players still tend to have the red on the forehand. At the U.S. Olympic Trials (I leave for them tomorrow) I'll try to remember to do a count among the players on this.

Jan-Ove Waldner vs. Ma Long?
I think Waldner wins this one on a landslide. Ma Long's a great player, but to become an all-time great, you have to actually win the big events. Give him time, and perhaps we'll have this discussion in five years.

|Stood in the Fire
|Get killed by Deathwing.
Stood in the Fire is an achievement that is awarded for being killed by Deathwing at random in the world. The act of which time and zone he will spawn seems to be completely random, and is not affected by any zones or times he's spawned at previously. Thus, there is no way to determine ahead of time when a zone will be hit. It's not unheard of for some servers to see Deathwing scorch one zone countless times while other zones on the same server have yet to be touched.Deathwing will spawn at a random time and zone, and any zone in Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms outside of the starting zones and the capital cities is fair game. When he spawns, the sky and surroundings will become dark and blood red (not to be confused with some zone areas in which the sky can also become red, such as when Sentinel Hill in Westfall is being burned after a phase change; a player will be able to tell point blank when Deathwing has entered the zone because, if they are close enough, of a yell that will appear in the chat log when he spawns).
He appears to cut a swath across the zone in a mostly straight line with perhaps a turn to accommodate the zone, swinging his head side to side to spew [Molten Flame]ω τ ϖ and kill anything in his path. Not everything in the zone will die, only those in his line of fire. Players killed will not lose durability. If a player is on a flight path and has the misfortune (or fortune for those that are looking for the achievement) of flying into Deathwing's path they will receive the achievement, but rather than die, be reduced to 1 hit point. The taxi will continue along its regularly scheduled route.
There have been players that did not get the achievement because they were indoors during the event. Also, there is an understood bug in which players were killed, but did not receive the achievement. If the latter happens, players are being asked to open a ticket to have Blizzard correct the situation.
From various player reports and posts, Deathwing's path is not randomized and is a set course in each zone. Therefore, there are places that players can wait at which, should Deathwing spawn, guarantees them the achievement. Sometimes a zone can be hit twice in one day.
A hunter, once in close visual range of Deathwing, tried to keep up with him and could not, even with Master Riding and full Pathfinding talent. That is a flying speed of 351%, or 451% total movement speed.
This achievement will be obtainable until a group on the server in question defeats Deathwing for the first time (at which time the achievement will turn into a Feat of Strength). The Deathwing raid instance will be added in the upcoming 4.3 content patch, Blizzard has revealed.
- After Deathwing flies through a zone, many fountains of fire will remain around the zone that will further do damage to players if they get too close. A player can also gain the achievement by doing this if they didn't get hit directly.
- As the Mysterious Camel Figurines are classified as NPCs, Deathwing's Molten Flames will also destroy any that happened to have spawned in his path in Uldum, and reset the timer. This counts as if it had been used by a player.
- If a player is close enough to Deathwing's spawn location, they will also hear him yell (and see him yell in the chat log) the following:
- Deathwing yells: The sun has set on this mortal world, fools. Make peace with your end, for the Hour of Twilight falls!
- The name of the achievement is a reference to "standing in the fire", a popular phrase describing the act of not moving out of the way of negative debuffs in boss encounters that is a obvious clue that a detrimental act is in effect.
- Deathwing's yell is the same line that he delivers near the end of the Twilight Highlands quest * [85] Battle of Life and Death.
Patches and hotfixes
- Hotfix (2010-12-07): "The achievement "Stood in the fire" is granted when standing in a zone boundary different than Deathwing's spawn location. In addition, players can now get this achievement by walking into the wake of Deathwing's fire after he has passed."
- Patch 4.0.3a (2010-11-23): Added as an Exploration, Cataclysm achievement.

This dry weather is making for extra duties! Beans are abundant and there is no rust problems, (yet). The guinea chicks are all over the yard with their momand so are the chicken chicks!
This has been a good year to put a well in because of the dryness. If you can get water when it is this dry then it should be a good supply for many years. Our problem now is the well tiles are much heavier than we expected. One Ton apiece! So we will not be transporting them ourselves. We are…Continue

Wow! Getting cauliflower, carrots and broccoli galore from the garden. The peas didn't set well but we get handfuls every now and then. Planting more of them for a fall crop. Beans are almost ready and beets are growing.
We purchased a backhoe and have started the right of way into the property. Meanwhile we fixed the bridge on the other way in that the beavers were having fun with last year. We haven't figured out where they went to or why they left but it is less…Continue

The weather has been great! The peas and carrots are up and there are plans for a gathering in July. Projects we hope to work on are... building outdoor oven, clearing roadway for well driller to put in well that wil utilize a solar powered pump, fencing in first pasture for foragers and of course putting a bridge across stream. Lots of planning to do and materials to gather.

Well I see it has been nearly a year since I last wrote! Spring is early this year and a lot has already been planted. As for the 70 acres, we have been doing a lot of observing of sectors and discovering what is growing where. Didn't accomplish a lot last year but feel we have come a long way in understanding the uniqueness of the land we purchased. So much of it is already just perfect. Trying to get a feel as to how we want to fit in without disturbing too much. The back corner has a…Continue

Yep, it's been awhile. My new blog home takes all my time and energy. (And why aren't you a member yet???)
But things have been happening in RL too. I got engaged last week – yippee!! 🙂 Good stuff. We're finally taking the M.A.S. public! (Who's the b-school grad?) lol
I've been thinking about my own wedding for the last decade or so (not, as pop culture would insist, since I was a little girl, nor do I subscribe to the idea that it will be the best or most important day of my life [so far]…that will be my MIT graduation! Dr. Redstar…someday…). I have attended probably 30 weddings, and been in a slew of them as a bridesmaid or reader and even minister. (That was my personal best on the wedding circuit. They say that day was really about my friends who married, but I was like, whee! All these people are here to see me up on this altar! I do love the pulpit!) My mind wanders from the finer details of dresses and venues to the broader issues of feminism, materialism, and equality.
So I'm pleased to see these concurrent posts on weddings at Shakesville and Feministing, concerning LGBTQI inclusive weddings and feminist ceremonies. At least now you know what I'm thinking about, even if I'm not around these parts much anymore.

Sustainable sustenance: Maya hosts second 'local' dinner
"Creating a relationship is what this whole trip is about," said Maya head chef Christian Kelly to a full house Monday, November 9, as foodies, farmers, and fans of Charlottesville cuisine filled 60 seats and devoured five wine-paired courses, while learning about sustainability from some of the area's top culinary names.
Feeding off the burgeoning "local" food movement sweeping across the nation, Maya owner Peter Castiglione hosted the restaurant's second "Local Food and Spirits Night." Featuring wine from Gabriele Rausse and products from Double H Farms, Roundabout Farm, Sweet Dog Farm, and Rag Mountain Trout, the dinner emphasized the exclusivity of local food–- each farm owner stepped forward to personally introduce the methods and missions behind each trout, radish, potato, or wine grape.
"We aren't doing anything new," said Megan Weary of Roundabout Farm, who provided the potatoes and greens. "It's old-fashioned growing; it's a revival."
As guests and foodies mingled, Gabriele Rausse regaled with stories of his beginnings in Virginia wine country–- sharing grapes with Barboursville, nearly getting arrested by ABC when his young daughter took a swig of GR Pinot Grigo at a wine festival–- while Monticello gardens and groundskeeper Peter Hatch emphasized the importance of Thomas Jefferson's "experimental gardens" in the evolution of American cuisine.
"Thomas Jefferson was the first and only epicurean president, the first American foodie," Hatch said.
And while the conversations ranged from recollections of growing up on a farm to local cooperative Horse and Buggy Produce, the two hour meal stole the show. Eleanor Porter, co-owner of The Seasonal Cook, encouraged her table to take a big whiff of each plate, holding it up to her face as an example. "Each dish should incorporate four of the five senses," she explained.
Needless to say, the meal was a multi-sensory production, dispersing the conscientiousness of locally-sourced product with the Southern flair of Chef Kelly's creations. While Maya plans to use as many local products in their Thanksgiving dinner, the next Local dinner is planned for early January, with Blue Mountain Brewery signed on as an early provider.

I Love You Day2/14/2009 11:01:00 PM Edit This 2 Comments »
Since I spent a good part of my morning listening to Pooh, Manny, Lola, Mickey and the rest of the Disney gang talking about Valentines day I came to realize that yes, most people think of it as a day for lovers but kids see it as a day to make sure to say I love you to the important people in their lives. That is certainly how I am celebrating it this year and it's one of the best Valentines Days I've every had.
Just being able to watch my little Valentine dance and sing whenever the mode struck her was such a pleasure and then to have her grab my hands and say "Dance with me Mommy" was the best invitation to dance I've ever had. She has such a zest for life and wants to share each new discovery with me that I find myself looking for something "new" to show her or teach her or share with her. Last weekend we baked cookies for the first time and what a hoot my little baker girl was! Of course she first had to accessorize her outfit from the apron and oven mitt to the pink hat and pink boots before she could begin. Then she couldn't wait to get her hands on...well everything.
Did I mention she liked licking? Licking the spatula, the spoon and the beaters was of course the highlight of the event. Have no fear though, anything I caught her licking I made sure didn't go back into the dough. Not to say that my back wasn't turned to her now and then but no one who ate them got sick so what more could a Mom ask for?
Of course once the licking was done, I mean the batter was ready I cleaned up so we could scoop the cookies on to the baking sheets which meant that Lexie needed to have a wardrobe change or at least her hats. Her old favorite, the green top hat, was a must for the scooping and counting of the first tray of cookies. I have to say after the first batch went in the oven my little helper was a little too impatient to sit around and wait for the timer to go off. So she went out into her kitchen to bake me some of her cookies. Yummy, they were "alicious!"
Then on Sunday we made Valentines for the family and her friends. I can't tell you how much she loves to paint and draw and create in general. For a child that is not even three yet, she can stay extremely focus on something she enjoys and painting is on the top of her list. So we used markers and stickers and glitter paint and finally paints to create these master pieces of love (all 28 of them.) She took well over an hour to do them and she would have gladly made more if I hadn't run out of construction paper (and room under the cabinets to hang them.)
As you can see she takes it very seriously and really wants to mix the colors and fill the pages and she's even started making shapes or pictures on them. She is so much my daughter in that way as I always enjoyed drawing and painting but I just never find the time anymore. Sharing these projects with her has made me want to get back into it. She and I may be fighting over the finger paints in the near future.
Since her hands were dirty anyway I decided to try to get her hand prints on paper as all my other attempts have failed. I have thrown away 3 different plaster hand print kits so far but this time she thought it was funny that Mommy wanted her to get her hands really messy and let me get several prints before she decided to try finger painting instead of just pushing her hands onto the paper. I'm planning on adding a picture to the top of the paper and framing it. My problem will be in picking just one picture. As you can probably guess I love taking pictures of my sweet pea and she is one photogenic little girl, so we're a match made in heaven.
Our Valentines Day may not have had cupid involved in it but in my opinion it couldn't have been better. So ring the bells and dance around and as Tigger & Pooh & Darby too say "Happy I Love You Day!"

Our residents mobilized, wrote letters and emails, made phone calls, and eventually a public hearing with the DOT was held. Our residents showed up in force, some of them bringing along their own maps and diagrams to make their case.
The community board hearing to vote on the proposal was postponed twice and moved to Woodhaven—and what a crowd we had! CB9 listened to both sides and ultimately decided —unanimously — to reject the proposal. At the same meeting, the long-fought-for rezoning of Woodhaven was approved by the community board, and it would be final approved by the City Council later in the year.
The generosity of the members of the WRBA was on display in the spring as they contributed amounts large and small in order to sponsor a team in WORKS Little League. Our team, the WRBA Devil Rays, played hard and we know they will try even harder next season.
The WRBA took to the streets en masse in March, reporting graffiti and other issues that needed to be addressed during our 311 Weekend Fundraiser. A number of our members were sponsoring this event by pledging small amounts, anywhere from a dime to a dollar for each 311 call we made.
Over three dozen houses had their graffiti removed by the city and the WRBA managed to raise $550 for the Woodhaven-Richmond Hill Volunteer Ambulance Corps. It was a classic case of win-win!
Come May, we heard the fantastic news that our beloved Forest Park Carousel was reopening under the stewardship of New York Carousel Entertainment. The WRBA had worked hard to keep the carousel's plight on everyone's radar and we were very happy with the city's choice for a caretaker.
As summer approached, the WRBA introduced a program known as Noisebusters designed to target chronic noise abusers and feed information to our local precinct about the troublemakers. The 102nd Precinct reported that noise complaints had decreased over the course of the summer and we believe that WRBA's Noisebusters program played a part in that.
The WRBA next took to the streets to combat graffiti, not settling for once-a-year cleanups, but instead hitting the streets on consecutive weekends all summer long to paint mailboxes, fireboxes and light poles. The WRBA also closely documented the tags and reported them to the police, which led to further charges being filed against one arrested vandal.
Speaking of arrests, the WRBA helped publicize video footage of a one-armed bandit who struck in Woodhaven back in July. We're happy to report that the man was apprehended a few weeks later.
The WRBA held its annual celebration in September, and we were very honored to be joined by our Man of the Year Bill Johnert, Women of the Year the School Sisters of Notre Dame Educational Center, Business of the Year NY Carousel Entertainment, and our inductee into the Woodhaven Hall of Fame Emanuel United Church of Christ, which marked its 135th anniversary in 2012.
That same month the WRBA hosted a well-attended meeting at which two competing proposals for developing the long inactive Rockaway Branch rail line were presented. Proposals for reactivating the railway and developing a QueensWay were presented, but ultimately the WRBA decided to pass on both plans, asking the city instead to properly maintain their property. If any of our residents let our property go the way the city has, we'd be paying fines out the kazoo.
As the year ended, we were subject to the wrath of Hurricane Sandy, but while we suffered a large number of downed power lines and trees (including our award-winning Christmas Tree on Forest Parkway), we were fortunate compared to others. Due to the selflessness of Woodhaven's residents and friends, the Block Association was able to raise thousands of dollars, as well as nearly 50 carloads of clothes, food, water, and other supplies.
In addition, dozens of volunteers contributed numerous hours to sort, pack, and transport the donations, all of which went to Howard Beach, Broad Channel, Breezy Point, and other neighborhoods south of Woodhaven that were hit hard by Hurricane Sandy.
The WRBA also held a successful Toy Drive for those children impacted by the hurricane and continued a yearly tradition of raising funds to purchase gifts for the developmentally challenged adults of the Forest Park Aktion Club.
And as the year ends, we find ourselves right back where we started, mobilizing residents to fight against planned redistricting that would divide, rather than unite, Woodhaven. They can draw the lines however they want, but the activities over the last 12 months show that our residents are united, caring and generous.
I am happy and proud to be a resident of Woodhaven. Happy New Year, and see you all in 2013.

'The Frankenstein Theory': A concept so crazy it's scary (review)
The idea behind "The Frankenstein Theory" is clever enough, if more than slightly silly: Mary Shelley's monster wasn't fiction, but thinly disguised fact.
That's what the movie's protagonist, a desperate, disgraced academic named Jonathan Venkenheim (Kris Lemche), believes anyway. Presented as found footage in the style of "The Blair Witch Project" or "Trollhunter," "The Frankenstein Theory" follows a deeply skeptical documentary film crew as they record Jonathan in his attempt to track down the still-living creature that inspired Shelley's 1818 tale. According to Jonathan, his ancestor, Johann Venkenheim, was the man on whom the character of Dr. Victor Frankenstein was based.
If Jonathan's research is correct, the monster is still living on the fringes of the Arctic Circle in remote Northern Canada. This is based on Jonathan's study of the migratory movements of caribou, which seem to be followed by sharp spikes in the number of unexplained human deaths. (The monster's freakish longevity is explained, somewhat less plausibly, by Johann's experiments combining human DNA with that of birds and other animals.)
So off Venkenheim goes in his SUV, hoping to restore his academic reputation by capturing photographic evidence of this proto-Bigfoot's existence. If the creature gets aggressive, Venkenheim intends to reason with him. After all, he's not some dumb animal.
Heck, even I'd make a movie about this guy. He sounds absolutely stark-raving nuts.
The feature directorial debut by Andrew Weiner (his parents are Washington area documentarians Hal and Marilyn Weiner) benefits enormously from the incredulity of the film crew following Venkenheim. Although the fictional director (Heather Stephens) seems the most open-minded, her crew (Brian Henderson and Eric Zuckerman) spends much of the movie winking and smirking into the camera in disbelief. Their doubts echo our own, which helps us to swallow what is admittedly a pretty far-fetched premise.
But once Jonathan and the film crew set up camp in the frozen north with their grizzled, French-Canadian guide (Timothy V. Murphy), things start to go bump in the night. The film genuinely gets a little creepy at this point.
Fourteen years after "Blair Witch," has the whole found-footage-horror genre jumped the shark? Maybe. Weiner, however, manipulates its well-worn tropes deftly. The fumbling for the light in the dark; the eerie, green, night-vision glow; the shaky camera; the hyperventilating victim as something sniffs around outside; "Frankenstein" gets as much mileage out this shtick as it possibly can.
"The Frankenstein Theory" is not a slasher film, nor torture porn. Most of the scariest stuff takes place just off camera, in the mind's eye. Although the technique may be a bit tired -- and the source material almost 200 years old -- there's something refreshing about the lengths to which it won't go in its search for old-fashioned frights.
Unrated. Contains obscenity, a drug reference and some scary imagery. 87 minutes.

This story has been corrected.
CHÂTEAUGUAY – Taking her get-out-the-vote campaign blitz to the Montérégie region south of Montreal, Parti Québécois leader Pauline Marois stopped at an open-air market stall Saturday with a banner reading, "Commission scolaire New Frontiers."
On the table were leaflets for the South Shore school board's professional training courses, usually one-year programs for students who have completed high school but have not gone on to CÉGEP.
Marois took a brochure, in French, for a course on the repair and maintenance of caravans, joking that Coalition Avenir Québec leader François Legault should take the course.
But Chuck Halliday, the board's development agent, informed Marois that if the PQ government she hopes to head wins the election Tuesday, Legault would not be able to take the course because the PQ wants to extend Bill 101 rules to CÉGEP and professional courses.
That means only people eligible to attend English schools in the province could attend Commission scolaire New Frontiers courses.
And Legault, whose entire education has been in the French system, would not qualify.
"She said, right away, 'We can find some ways, monsieur, I hope so,' " Halliday recalled in an interview with reporters.
Asked at a news conference what mitigation she had in mind, Marois served notice a PQ government would go ahead in its newer, tougher Bill 101, to extend the language law beyond high school.
"We have made a choice, that public money will not be used to anglicize Quebecers," Marois said.
And she indicated that the English boards fear they will lose enrolment and their per capita grants Quebec pays for each student.
"I think we should help the anglophone school commissions, or the anglophone professional training services, to better serve the English community," Marois said. "And we will not let them down."
Halliday, who was educated in a French primary school and an English high school in the province, described himself as "completely bilingual."
"I find in my generation, we are modern Quebecers," he said in an interview with The Gazette, conducted entirely in French, adding that he doesn't understand why learning another language is a bad thing.
"Anything more you learn is an asset," Halliday said.
"I totally respect the need to protect the French language," he added. "But I am against allowing only anglophones into the professional courses.
"I think that should be a choice," he said. "There are more and more who want to come."
Halliday said his father is from Nova Scotia, his mother from Ontario.
"They moved here for Expo 67. They were two Canadians who came to Montreal to work. They adored Quebec and stayed."
Correction: An earlier version of this story said the caravan maintenance course was given in French. It is not. The Gazette regrets the error.

SCOTTS VALLEY — In a tribute to an educator who dedicated her life to her students" success, Scotts Valley High School students will soon be eligible for financial assistance to help them prepare for life after graduation.
Last week, the Scotts Valley Educational Foundation announced the creation of the Lynn Beebe College Counseling grant program. Funds will be distributed from an endowment created in honor of the longtime employee, who died in January at 47 after a battle with breast cancer.
Beebe worked for 20 years at Scotts Valley Middle School, serving as a teacher, basketball coach and athletic director. On the side, she also provided hundreds of students with career counseling services, said Allison Niday, who heads the foundation.
This year, the program only will be open to juniors, who can submit applications in March and will be notified by May. Starting in 2013-14, the program will be open to juniors and seniors.
The grants will cover everything from enrolling in SAT and ACT test preparation to career counseling services to application fees to two- or four-year colleges and universities — costs Niday estimated at about $1,200.
But the grants are not specifically set aside for financially disadvantaged students.
Those who have the financial means to pay for those services but whose parents may not know how to navigate through the college application process, for example, also are eligible, as are students who plan to attend vocational school after graduation.
Certain criteria must be met, however. Students must "have good grades, be enrolled in SAT and ACT test preparation courses, and "taking the right courses," Niday said.
How much the students receive will depend on information provided on the applications and additional information students provide to the foundation"s board of directors and selection committee.
The announcement comes seven months after the middle school dedicated its pavilion in Beebe"s honor. During the ceremony, her brother, Dave Beebe, said the pavilion "played an important part in Lynn"s life," both as the site of her early games playing basketball and as a place to mentor youth.
Beebe joined the full-time staff at the middle school in 1992. A graduate of Soquel High School, she was a standout basketball player, honored in 2010 when her number 32 was retired. She earned her teaching credential in 1991, and later a master"s from Santa Clara University.
In a statement, her parents, Jack and Jan Beebe, said the grant program will "provide the type of assistance Lynn offered to high school students pursuing their goal of attending college or vocational school." Her passion and dedication "will be kept alive through this effort."
Follow Sentinel reporter Kimberly White on Twitter at Twitter.com/kwhite95066
Funding will be used by students to obtain counseling and guidance services as they prepare for life after graduation.
Applications will be accepted in March, and reciplients notified in May.
The fund now contains approximately $25,000, and the Scotts Valley Educaitonal Foundation continues to solicit funds to ensure a lasting legacy.

I have this program in Java to read a database written in a .txt format (file name is "info.txt").
It has the values record number, name, age, state, and salary class written in it. (Kindly refer to the attached screenshot.)
I've named the array to read that database as "ven[]". The program will load that text-file database into that array to display on the screen when it is run. When it reaches the array cell that has the salary class value, it displays on the screen the corresponding amount. As you can see in the code's screenshot, array cell ven[4] contains a single entry that's just one character long.(ven[0] is the where the record number or "R11-1000" is stored)
That character corresponds to the value assigned to it. That is, if the value in it is "1", it corresponds to $200 per hour. Hence, on the screen the line, "Salary per Hour" will have the amount, $200 dollars next to it. I read that switch statements can only allow integers or characters as values in it. So, I've been trying to assign that array cell in question into a char-declared variable - as you can see in the photo of the few lines before reaching the switch statement. Unfortunately, I get error messages when I attempt to do so. (the compiler says they're incompatible data types). Kindly see the attached photo for reference...
I intend to use the entry inside ven[4] as a value for the switch statement in the code. I'm not quite a beginner but I'm not expert on Java either.
I have no idea how to go around this problem - any idea how? That is, how to transfer an array's value into
The code I've written is down below...(line 35 is where the error is...)
#[#]import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
public class readDB
public static void main(String args[])throws Exception
Scanner v = new Scanner(System.in);
Scanner i = new Scanner(new File("info.txt"));
String s,salarytype;
StringBuffer result = new StringBuffer();
double ph=0;
Boolean wr=false;
System.out.println(" ");
System.out.print("Enter Employee Code: ");
s = v.nextLine();
while (i.hasNextLine())
{ //first while loop start brace
n = i.nextLine();
String ven[] = n.split(";");
if (s.equals(ven[0]))
System.out.println(" ");
System.out.println("Name: " + ven[1]);
System.out.println("Age: " + ven[2]);
System.out.println("Address: " + ven[3]);
System.out.println("Salary Type: " + ven[4]);
String mynewstring = result.toString();
char[] cArray = mynewstring.toCharArray();
case 1: ph=200;
System.out.println("Salary per Hour: "+ph);
case 2: ph=300;
System.out.println("Salary per Hour: "+ph);
case 3: ph=500;
System.out.println("Salary per Hour: "+ph);
} else if (wr==false)
System.out.println ("Invalid Code ");

text: I'm having problems installing the Public Preview. I'm running Lion (10.7.5) and do have CrossOver (11.2.2) installed. Once the installer asks for the BW disks, the DVD drive will try repeatedly to read the disk, but eventually stops trying and there we sit. I'm using rev. 2 DVD's , but I know they are good as my CrossOver install can read them and they mount in Lion fine. I'm wondering if this is related to having CrossOver already installed, but I note others who have a similar configuration and have installed successfully. Any thoughts?

Efficiency rating
The Sony Xperia™ portfolio of chargers is leading the industry in terms of efficiency and energy consumption. We introduced new chargers for our products in 2001 that already then met the 2004 EU Code of Conduct (CoC) recommendation. All phones sold globally since 2003 have chargers that meet the EU voluntary CoC for power supplies.
We participated in the development of a rating system for the energy consumption of mobile phone chargers as part of the Integrated Product Policy (IPP) pilot programme under the European Commission. Participating companies were major mobile phone manufacturers working to develop a rating system for charger energy efficiency in no-load mode. Our standard chargers have a no-load power consumption ≤30mW.
In addition to being industry leaders within the charger section, Sony Xperia™ phones use the most energy efficient batteries available.
Also, Sony Mobile is supporting the industry's adoption of a standardised charger interface on all our phones and chargers.

Erlestoke: Three Jailed For Trying To Throw Drugs Into Prison
11 March 2014, 09:32 | Updated: 11 March 2014, 09:35
Three people have been jailed after they were caught about to throw drugs over the fence at Erlestoke Prison.
Kelly Marie Greatrex, 29, from Plymouth, Christopher Holder, 48, also from Plymouth and Matthew Sharp, 27, who was a prisoner at HMP Erlestoke during the time of the offence, were all given prison sentences for their involvement in this incident.
On November 13th 2012, Greatrex and Holder were stopped by police officers in a vehicle on the road outside the prison. Inside the vehicle, officers found a package containing the drug Subutex, a mobile phone, two SIM cards and part of a battery charger.
All three were arrested and later charged with conspiracy to bring/throw a prohibited article into a prison.
Greatrex was sentenced to 15 months imprisonment, Sharp was sentenced to 2 years imprisonment and Holder was sentenced to 32 months imprisonment for this offence and a further 24 months for an unrelated burglary.
A spokesman for the Dedicated Crime Team at Wiltshire Police said: ''This incident illustrates the partnership working between Wiltshire Police and staff at HMP Erlestoke to disrupt the illegal supply of drugs into the prison.
''We were able to intercept these individuals before they threw the drugs and mobile phone over the fence into the prison.
''We robustly patrol the areas around the prison and act on intelligence given to us."
HMP Erlestoke Governor Andy Rogers said: "We don't tolerate the use of drugs at Erlestoke prison.
"The message should be clear to see for all attempting to bring drugs into my prison and I am pleased that all parts of the Criminal Justice community in Wiltshire have brought these individuals to justice.
"We are working hard with Wiltshire Police and the local community to ensure that we maintain a safe, decent and secure prison for the offenders in our care and the staff that work here."
Anyone who notices anything suspicious in the Erlestoke area or has information regarding anything connected to the prison should contact Wiltshire Police on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 where information can be left anonymously.

The brinkmanship between the West and Iran over Tehran's nuclear program has escalated one more step in the last week. First came the European Union's announcement of a ban on the import of Iranian oil from July 2012. It was the last straw and prompted Tehran to announce that the Iranian Majlis (parliament) was about to pass a law banning oil exports to the EU immediately (Iran's Press TV).
"Speaking to reporters after a cabinet meeting in the capital Tehran on Sunday, [Rostam] Qasemi said less than 20 percent of Iran's crude oil is currently being exported to Europe and that Iran has no problem in selling its oil to a market other than the EU.
"Managing Director of the National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC) Ahmad Qalebani said Sunday crude oil prices could reach USD150 a barrel in the aftermath of the EU sanctions on Iran's oil exports.
"He said global economic and business blocs will experience tremendous shocks because of the embargo on Tehran and the West will suffer the most from the measure.
"Meanwhile, Majlis is due to debate a bill this week that would cut off oil supplies to the EU in a matter of days, in response to the 27-member bloc's decision to stop importing crude oil from Iran as of July."
The EU embargo was in line with a law which President Obama signed last month. The fact that, using US domestic law, the measure threatens punitive sanctions against any country doing business with Iran was too much for China and India, a long-time ally of Washington. Iranian oil is crucial for the Indian economy. India's frustration at the Western moves to control its foreign and domestic economic policy exploded into the open. Indian officials pointedly refused to deny a report by DEBKAfile, Israel's intelligence news service, that India would pay for Iranian oil in gold. And India's Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee said bluntly (The Hindu).
"We (India) import 110 million tonnes of crude per year. We will not decrease imports from Iran. Iran is an important country for India despite U.S. and European sanctions on Iran."
Earlier, the US Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner had failed in his mission to persuade Beijing to cut oil supplies from Iran. Geithner was told in Beijing that China was opposed to sanctions beyond those imposed by the United Nations (Al Jazeera).
"Iran is an extremely big oil supplier to China, and we hope that China's oil imports won't be affected, because this is needed for our development," Zhai Jun, China's vice foreign minister, told a news conference.
"We oppose applying pressure and sanctions, because these approaches won't solve the problems. They never have. We hope that these unilateral sanctions will not affect China's interests."
The reaction of China and India has had a sobering effect on Europe. As the Iranian parliament debates the bill on banning oil exports to the European Union, Germany has now urged Tehran to "exercise restraint."
The escalation of sanctions by the United States and the European Union outside the United Nations system, and attempts to force others to toe the line, amount to an open act of war. China, India and others will see them as illegal and a clear violation of their sovereign right to formulate their own policies.
Once fertile landscape of capitalism, the United States and Europe, lies barren. The race for control of energy resources has become increasingly desperate, affecting foes and friends alike. And the new cold war, involving military buildup, around Iran and the Persian Gulf has escalated to a point where China, India and Russia, three main Eastern powers, are drawn into open confrontation with America and the European Union.
The world's only superpower is no longer credible if it cannot force others to follow its writ. But that scenario is before us. The West has become irrational in its policy and expectations. It is looking to transfer the cost of securing its own geopolitical agenda to others, who are not prepared to pay the price. We have gold and oil prices on the rise and the risk of greater economic and military catastrophe shows little sign of receding.

Luca Pandolfi takes us along for the ride on a thrilling descent of the north face of Les Courtes in his new epic TV Series, Lines Through Lucas Lens.
Here's Luca's thoughts on the adventure:
Due to the exceptional snow conditions we were able to shred this beautiful line from the top of Les Courtes (which is rarely skied from the top).
This line is complete – you drop into the North face from the top of one of the best ridable big mountains in Chamonix, you ski an airy ridge, endure some technical mixed passes, ride a big open hanging field and end with a steep exit couloir.
The big radius free ride turns and the face-shots you experience on the hanging field are some of the best you'll ever get.
Big thanks to my friends Ben Briggs, Tom Grant, Mikko Heimonen and Ross Hewitt for the great day out.

I haven't been on the computer in a while, it's become summer again. Stupid Philadelphia. It's October and 90 degrees. Last week I went to NY to see my sister, and have a nice dads-side-of-the-family dinner, which my dad nicely made all gluten-free.
I brought the gingerbread cake I made, with a cream cheese frosting, and it was a huge hit. I hung around NYC while my sister was at work, had a fantastic breakfast from the Union Square Wholefoods of grapefruit, iced tea, peanut butter and some sort of GF sesame bar that was great dipped in peanut butter.
The corn fritters were made with the egg omitted, and beer instead of water. They were SO good.Sorry no recipes in this post, it's 90 degrees again. If anyone has any information they can share with me about opening a bakery, or finding a commercial kitchen I can share, email me at jillelise AT gmail DOT com. Also also, I got a bag of GF goodies from a nice lady through my roommate from the Dietitians of America or something conference last week, I'll post a bunch of product reviews soon.

"The Voice" is winding down!
The NBC reality hit series said goodbye to two contestants during Tuesday, Nov. 27's results show, leaving us with six performers left in the running.
Going into the show, Christina Aguilera was down to her last contestant, Dez Duron, while Adam Levine and Blake Shelton each had two artists, and Cee Lo Green still had three singers in the competition. So which two coaches were forced to say goodbye to their talent?
U.S. & World
Missed last night's episode? Get caught up with our recap!
Cody Belew and Dez were the two contestants sent home.
Yes, Christina is done in the competition! Dez, who quit the Yale football team to audition for the show, said working and performing with Christina was "greatest moment of my life" and called choosing to be on her team the "best decision" he's ever made. "I will always support you," Christina tells Dez.
Cody, who was on Cee Lo's team, channeled his icon Freddie Mercury when he performed Queen's hit song "Somebody to Love" during Monday's performance show. "Thank you for riding with me on this journey and for believing in me," he said to the audience moments before it was revealed he was eliminated.
(E! and NBC are both part of the NBCUniversal family)
Were you sad to see these two go? Sound off in the comments below!

Australian telco AAPT today switched the remainder of its 1200 staff off Microsoft's Exchange collaboration platform and onto Google's rival Gmail offering after running a trial of 250 staff on Gmail for the past two months.
The company had already adopted some aspects of Google's online platform late last year -- specifically, the search giant's Google Video and Sites applications -- and had flagged the Gmail move as "95 percent certain" in late April. The news was broken this afternoon by iTnews.com.au.
"The decision for us to go Google was initially more of a challenge at the philosophical level – the idea of relinquishing 'control' - rather than the technical level," said AAPT chief operating officer David Yuile.
"The benefits of moving to Google Apps are significant -- for individual users and for the company. We expect to reap considerable savings in IT costs, with minimal user support and much lower ongoing infrastructure costs," he said.
AAPT's shift has also unlocked the use of Google's Talk instant messaging application. Staff will receive 25GB of mailbox storage each on Google's servers.
"This exciting move will help us address some of the challenges we face: information overload, changing business needs and new technology demands, such as increased mobility and flexible working," Yuile said.
The potential to shift to a cloud-based platform such as Gmail or Microsoft's hosted Exchange offering has been a hot topic on Australian chief information officers' minds this year. Some have already made the switch. But one aspect holding some back is the lack of dedicated datacentres based in Australia for the services.
One large organisation earlier this year expressed how unlikely it was to "Go Google" as AAPT was. "If he imposes Google Docs on me, I'll throw my laptop at him," joked Telstra chief technology officer Hugh Bradlow earlier this year -- referring to then-Telstra CIO John McInerney.

(CNN) -- It may seem stunning that one of the most visited tourist attractions on the planet is a mall. Attracting 75 million visitors a year, The Dubai Mall gets more foot traffic than the Eiffel Tower, Niagara Falls and Disney World combined.
Of course, The Dubai Mall is no ordinary shopping center. Billed as the world's largest (in terms of total floor space) by the Guinness World Records when it first opened in 2008, the mall is larger than 50 football pitches.
It houses 1,200 stores, an Olympic-sized ice skating rink, an aquarium, the world's largest shoe store, 14,000 parking spaces, and a Boeing 737 flight simulator. It was no small investment; the entire complex cost $20 billion to build.
"It's a city within a city," admits Mohamed Alabbar, chairman of Emaar, the development company responsible for building the mall.
As one can imagine, running such an enterprise is challenging, and it takes a lot of man power. With 20,000 employees, the mall's staff is equivalent to the size of a small army.
"To make it work, you need to have a tremendous amount of people that are on the job 24 hours a day," says David Macadam, CEO of the Middle East Council of Shopping Centers.
Though the mall closes at 10pm (midnight on the weekends), in some ways it is busiest after hours, when a cleaning crew of 100 sweep, vacuum and polish over 1.5m square feet of space every night.
"It's a huge mall," notes Ahmen Hussein, the night shift supervisor for cleaning. "We have to finish before the opening hour. Sometimes we only have five or six hours to do it. It's hard, but we like the challenge."
An even more arduous cleaning task sits just outside the malls doorstep. The Burj Khalifa Lake -- an 150m liter artificial body of water that also houses The Dubai Fountain -- requires daily maintenance, partly because the desert climate itches to contaminate it with sand.
"The job is to target the areas where we have the highest sand accumulation, and clean it in a systematic way," says Jean Hanna, director of operations for The Dubai Fountain. In addition to the human staff, there are underwater robotic vacuums employed to undertake the task.
Despite the manpower that goes in to running the mall, Alabbar concedes that even more can be done to ensure it lives up to its full potential:
"We've tried really hard to make sure it's prestigious, respected, looks after people, customers, companies, shareholders -- the whole thing. I think we're getting there. We still have to work a little bit, but we're getting there."

A Louisiana man who jumped off the Causeway bridge and into a lake during a traffic stop was arrested for the eighth time on drunken driving charges.
Thomas Robert Harter was charged with DWI, resisting arrest, careless driving and as a fugitive on outstanding warrants for hit-and-run and reckless driving, The Times-Picayune reported.
Causeway police stopped Harter mid-bridge Sunday evening after another driver reported him swerving and speeding.
U.S. & World
Causeway General Manager Carlton Dufrechou said Harter got out of the car sporting a green St. Patrick's Day necklace and swaying and smelling of alcohol. When the officer asked him to perform field sobriety tests, Harter agreed — but then allegedly "bolted" toward the edge of the bridge and dropped 20 feet into the lake.
The water was rough, with winds between 15 and 20 mph, Dufrechou said.
Rescuers found Harter half an hour later clinging to a utility building at the base of the bridge. They tossed him a life ring and hauled him back up to the bridge — and into jail.
Harter is being held without bond on the fugitive warrants and on a $15,000 bond on the alleged driving violations.
"He's a lot better off than being crabmeat," Dufrechou told the Times-Picayune.

Tagetik Wins Ventana Research Technology Innovation Award for the Office of Finance
Collaborative Disclosure Management automates the creation of any report combining financial data and narrative
Tagetik, a visionary provider of global performance management software solutions, announced today that it is the recipient of Ventana Research's Technology Innovation Award for the Office of Finance. Tagetik won the award for its Collaborative Disclosure Management (CDM) solution.
Tagetik's Collaborative Disclosure Management solution automates the creation of any type of formatted report that combines numbers and narrative, typically involves significant collaboration and input from multiple stakeholders, and requires extensive editing and reviews. Customers use Tagetik CDM for all types of reporting – ranging from SEC-mandated filings such as 10Qs and 10Ks and other regulatory or industry-specific reports to board books, press releases, Word documents, PowerPoint presentations and annual, quarterly and management reports.
The award will be presented today at the annual Ventana Research Summit, this year held at the Hyatt Regency, San Francisco Airport. The Technology Innovation Awards program, which encompasses 28 business and technology categories, is designed to recognize pioneers that have developed clear visionary and transformative technology that can be used to drive improved efficiency and productivity as well as the outcomes and performance of an organization.
"The Technology Innovation Awards acknowledge and honor the technology that matters most to business and IT and recognize technology innovations that do the most to improve productivity and outcomes," said Mark Smith, CEO and chief research officer of Ventana Research. "We extend our congratulations to Tagetik for advancing collaborative financial reporting.
The automation and work flow management offered by its CDM solution save significant professional time and yield improved, accurate, and truly collaborative reporting." "We're honored to receive this award and pleased that Ventana Research recognizes the productivity value of our solution," said Dave Kasabian, senior vice president of product marketing and strategy for Tagetik.
"Moving from traditional, largely manual financial reporting to integrated financial and narrative reporting is the next evolutionary step for corporate finance. Leading companies are adopting 'value reporting' such as that recommended by the International Integrated Reporting Council in its International Integrated Reporting Framework. Tagetik is proud to help our customers move to this next level and realize the benefits it brings."

The beauty, texture and mingled flavors of these fresh sprouts will turn your salads into a gourmet experience. We put together this special mix to highlight the flavor of each component in a perfect balance for salads. The sweetness of alfalfa and red clover mix with a lively boost from the broccoli and kale. Burgundy amaranth adds exciting color. Not just for salads, try these sprouts on sandwiches, hamburgers, tacos, and scrambled eggs or omelets. Add at the last minute to top soups and stews. The culinary possibilities are limited only by your imagination!
Sprouting is as easy as 1-2-3! Simply soak your seeds in water for 8 to 12 hours, place them in your sprouting container, in a warm area (70°F), and rinse at least twice daily until Salad Mix sprouts are 1"-2" long. See inside the packet for more information about growing sprouts.
Sprout Seed Safety: A sample from each seed lot we receive is sent to an independent laboratory where it must test negative for foodborne pathogens including Escherichia coli (E. coli), Salmonella, Listeria, and Staphylococcus aureus (Staph). Although disinfecting sprouts is not necessary, if you choose to do so, visit our Learn & Grow article for suggested disinfection methods.
