PROVIDENCE – One could walk out of Alumni Hall draped in confidence that Providence College got it right this time.
That was Ed Cooley's biggest accomplishment on Wednesday afternoon. He gave a fan base a reason to hope again. The Providence native is coming home to breath fresh air into a program that is begging for a turnaround, and he appears the correct guy for the job.
The two virtually grew up in the same corner of the state, frequently crossing paths whenever a pickup game broke out. Everything changed though, Jamal Gomes recalls, on the day of his high school graduation, when he learned a great deal about Ed Cooley, the person.
"He had heard that I was coming to Stonehill College to play basketball and called to congratulate me," was one of several stories Gomes shared about Cooley, who will be introduced as the next men's basketball head coach at Providence College Wednesday afternoon. "He's an amazing, amazing man."
PROVIDENCE – There was only one candidate Providence College officials had its sights set on to become the school's next basketball coach. Apparently Ed Cooley felt that warm embrace to the point that the Providence native is ready to take on the challenge of reversing the Friars' fortunes.
Tuesday saw Providence officially sign off on the 41-year-old Cooley as the Friars' new coach. Terms of the deal were not announced, though it's not too far-fetched to think Cooley received something comparable, in terms of length and compensation, to the package Keno Davis was awarded three years ago.
This is the time of year when short hops and drag bunts are tabled by mire and muck; shagging fly balls replaced by judging ricochets off a gym wall.
CUMBERLAND – They'll have a new head coach and they'll be participating in a new league.
But as far as the outlook for the upcoming season for Cumberland High, it will still be the same old goals.
"We just want to win as many games as possible and have some fun," said first-year coach Matt Smalley. "We are just going to take it one game at a time and hopefully at the end of the season we'll be playing on championship day."
On the same day Providence College parted company with Keno Davis, athletic director Bob Driscoll spelled out very succinctly the expectations he has for the Friar basketball program.
"It encompasses three different things. One, I want our student-athletes to represent the college and athletic department with dignity and class, both on and off the court," was how Driscoll began. "I want my student-athletes to graduate from Providence College and I want to compete for a NCAA Tournament berth on an annual basis. Those are the standards by which I evaluate."
PROVIDENCE — After battling a stiff headwind for the first mile of the St. Pat's 5K, Stephen Pretak knew his goal of running close to 15 minutes would not happen Saturday morning.
But the less-than-favorable conditions in the Providence race didn't stop him from breaking the tape a winner.
The 26-year-old Connecticut native captured the final stage of the inaugural Tour de Patrick, finishing the out-and-back course with a time of 15:31.7. Pretak held off defending titlist Eric Lonergan of North Kingstown, who claimed the runner-up spot at 15:35.4.
The seasons come and the seasons go.
Another winter of high school sports in our region has come to an end (except for Mount St. Charles hockey, both the boys and the girls).
It wasn't a particularly great campaign for teams from the Blackstone Valley. St. Raphael Academy did win the boys' basketball open tournament. That was no small achievement, especially after the Saints limped to the finish line during the regular season and made a quick exit from the division playoffs.
Life is about second chances and the Saints made the most of their opportunity.
PAWTUCKET — Freddy Gobewole is making a name for himself in this city, first as an all-state football player for Shea High last autumn and then as the New England high school indoor track champion at 55 meters.
PROVIDENCE — Keno Davis never failed to mention that Providence College featured one of the youngest men's basketball teams in the Big East, if not the country. Many saw that as a plea or a copout on Davis' part, but the fact that the Friars' 2010-11 roster was comprised of 10 first- or second-year players is not lost on athletic director Bob Driscoll.

Here's an amazing feature of cheese that doesn't get enough coverage: When it gets hot, it melts. But if you keep heating it up, it eventually gets crunchy.
It's not burned, it's just right.
A lot of fancy restaurants will bake Parmesan and make little Parm crackers that they use to top salads. When The Cheese Crunch won the poll last week, I knew I wanted to try to somehow incorporate that technique into a standard grilled cheese.
Not only did it work, but it freakin' worked!
The Cheese Crunch
- 2 pieces bread
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, grated
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated finely
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Helpful Equipment
1) Grate cheeses and use a microplane to great Parmesan very fine.
2) Lightly butter two pieces of bread.
3) Add one piece of bread butter side down to a nonstick pan. Top with grated cheddar cheese. Top with second piece of bread, butter side up.
4) Cook over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes per side until bread is browned and cheese is almost melted.
5) Remove from heat. Very lightly butter each side of the sandwich again and top with two tablespoons of grated Parmesan.
6) Add pan back to heat and cook for another 1-2 minutes over medium-high heat to melt and brown the parmesan cheese, making it crispy.
7) Once cheddar cheese is melted completely and parm is browned and crispy, remove sandwich and serve immediately!
Grilled Cheese Basics
I'm a big fan of the grilled cheese. It's quick to make, you almost certainly have everything you need for it in your fridge, and it's just plain delicious.
I still make them for lunch regularly, but also Betsy and I will have them for dinner occasionally with soup.
While you can get super-fancy with fillings, all you really need is butter, bread, and cheese!
The tricky part about grilled cheese is making sure your cheese is melted while making sure that your bread isn't burned.
To make it a bit easier to melt the cheese, I recommend grating it instead of just slicing it. It will melt in about half the time if you grate it.
For the basic grilled cheese, lightly butter each piece of bread. Place the bread down in a nice nonstick pan and then top with cheese and follow it with the second piece of bread.
Cook this sucker on medium heat for about 4 minutes per side.
That should give you a nice melted center and perfectly toasted bread.
Don't get in a hurry and cook it over high heat or your bread will toast way before your cheese is melted.
It's a fine balance, but one that you can do.
Getting the CRUNCH
So here is the fun step that I wasn't sure would work.
When your sandwich is done or almost done, give it a very light coat of butter again. When I say light, I mean as light as you can butter something. You just want to make sure the cheese can stick to the bread.
Then cover the bread entirely with grated Parmesan cheese.
It's really important to use a hard cheese for this step. Something like romano or parmesan works best.
Then you flip the sandwich over so the parmesan is in direct contact with the hot pan.
At this point crank up the heat and cook the sandwich for about two minutes.
While the sandwich cooks one the first side, add the same amount of Parmesan to the top of the sandwich.
Flip it and cook it for another minute or two on the second side.
Because of the high heat and nonstick pan, the Parmesan will melt, stick to the bread, and then immediately start to get really crispy.
It's really a thing of beauty.
Slice it. Serve it. Eat it!
For a sandwich with four ingredients, this one is pretty hard to beat.
This sucker was super-fun to make and even more fun to eat!
Spread the word. The Cheese Crunch is a thing.

It's already a heavyweight card with a staggering seven titles on the line but the 02 Arena show on Saturday 14th July is now a real heavyweight show with the addition of big boys Matt Skelton and Michael Sprott. The pair were due to meet last month at the Excel but Sprott withdrew from the fight due to an injury and they will now clash on the mega show alongside WBO World title challenger Nicky Cook and Olympic Silver Medallist Amir Khan..
Skelton will put his Commonwealth title on the line against Sprott and is raring to go having had more time to prepare.
He said "I've been out of the ring for a while and I'm now desperate to get back into action. The delay has worked out better for me as I'm meaner, fitter and stronger than before and I feel like I could break down a brick wall with my punching power. Sprott will get himself into great shape as well and I'm looking forward to having a good tear up with him. Whatever happens this fight isn't going the distance."
Reading puncher Sprott, who KO'd former Olympic Champion Audley Harrison in his last fight, is out for revenge over Skelton who defeated him in a bruising scrap three years ago.
"I was ready to be let of the leash last time and was busting to get stuck into Skelton but picked up the injury which ruled me out. However, I'm now back and ready to rock Skelton's boots. When he beat me three years ago it was hard to swallow and I've been waiting for my chance for revenge. The fight delay has only made my hunger and desire stronger and I'm going to dish out some sweet long awaited revenge on the night." Said Sprott.
Cook headlines the London's Burning show when he challenges top American Steve Luevano for the Vacant WBO World Featherweight Championship. Chief support features boxing superstar Amir Khan challenging for Willie Limond's Commonwealth crown and his big rival Kevin Mitchell defending his IBF Intercontinental Super-Featherweight title and challenging for the Vacant WBO Intercontinental against tough Russian Alexander Hrulev. A great scrap between Commonwealth Light-Middleweight Champion Bradley Pryce and Anthony Small could be one of the fights of the night on the show and there is real battle of the 'little men' between Matthew Marsh and Rocky Dean for the Vacant Southern Area Super-Bantamweight Championship. Graham Earl, Steve Foster Jnr, Matthew Hall, Vinny Mitchell and the pro-debut of 2006 Commonwealth Games Champion Jamie Cox complete the card.

The FOI Process
[The Policy Lass storytells her own experience with FOIs.]
When reflecting on my own experience with FOIs, the request is received, is processed first by the mail room as all correspondence is, and then it goes to the FOI office, where it is handled by their admin support, and then assigned to the FOI officer, who reviews it. At the same time, it is sent to the department where I work, and is handled by another admin person, and then sent to me. I read it, and then I meet with our data people to see what is available, and then I meet with the FOI officer and we sort through the request and determine what is easily at hand and what is in archives or storage, and estimate how much time it will take to retrieve it or create the data, etc. Then the FOI officer does work to reply to the applicant and convey the information, and once their response is received (in case there are added costs etc) the response is one again handled by the mail room, the admin support, and it goes to the FOI officer who oversees the process and then to me to actually collect the data and send it to the FOI officer. Then it is sent out. The request is then annotated and becomes part of the record. It is reviewed at some later point in time as part of the year end review and reporting.

Woo, what would Lily say? *shakes head*
And Sandra sweetie: run before Larisa brings out a camera. XD
Wearing clothes Is so overrated. Just move out to a smal african village! You'll be fine!
The first sneak attack is a surprise.
But nobody EVER expects the SECOND sneak attack.
Bad news: your nearly naked because of your pet raccon
good news: cloud is not there, so there is no chance of dying of embarrassment

Oh dear. How does that saying go? "Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me." You better look out, Woo, this demands retaliation…
@ GJardim:
XD I kind of wonder if that's Woo's intention
Also, where is your avatar from?
Ah . . . in Paris? They're French, Larissa. I don't think they have a problem with lack of clothes . . . As it is, they often think we're too modest about our bodies here. So I've been told by my European relatives anyway.
Also, considering the bikini was invented by a French designer . . . they may just feel Sandy is taking the style one step further. How fashion forward of her!
@ WickedNovel:
The bikini was of course named after the site of the first H-Bomb test, Bikini Atoll, because both were… ummm… hot.
Just a pity the blast wasn't big enough to destroy the island entirely, because then the popular suit would have been Nothing Atoll. Sandra's getting close to that!
I was all like http://bit.ly/mngKJi but then i felt like http://bit.ly/mNHVDt
Heheh, you little trouble maker Woo :3 You are so going to pay for that, Sandra will make sure that it happens.
A bit… risque? O_o
also, I'm pretty sure larrisa saw the entire thing.
Sandra needs to shave woo for revenge!! This could only get better if Cloud shows up or Larisa pulls out a camera!
I hate to say it, I really do, but god love that evil Raccoon, well, sometimes anyway. Especially when I need a laugh as bad as I do tonight. I can just see this happening, if I had laughed any harder I might have ruptured my spleen, then their would be real trouble…
Hidden due to low comment rating. Click here to see.
Full frontal nudity. Really?!! Are you that desperate for readers? Is it possible you've run out of ideas? Why not just make Woo a vampire. I consider appealing to any fetish as wrong, morally reprehensible (i'll be looking that word up later) and a generally unappealing prospect…. Also, in order to do it properly your character must be Japanese.
I'm on the fence about this one because controversy is always interesting if not entertaining. However, I'm going to have to draw a line in the sand and say that this isn't believable in any aspect.
If Sandra were younger, or if Woo turned out to be a MUCH larger animal, like a bear cub, then I could see it possibly happening. It's not funny, and I believe nudism has to be portrayed more tastefully.
While I applaud the fact that Sandra been illustrated with a bare minimum of an anatomical dress form, giving her the appearance of a Kewpie doll rather than prominent mosquito bites, I feel as though you are trying to attract a different audience.
I realize we are almost always at cross purposes when I say something you disagree with. However, I feel Sandra should at least keep her shirt on until she attains the rank of a star ship captain, becomes a furry, or starts wearing a training bra.
Hidden due to low comment rating. Click here to see.
@ Adsvem:
Dude, she's like 14.
And in the next strip, we find Cloud cackling evilly in the bushes after watching the whole thing unfold. Woo proceeds to collect payment from Cloud for a job well done.
Maybe Cloud isn't the goody-goody we think he is?
This is going to sound creepy, but it's just an observation… Sandra seemed to be a little bit older in the last few strips, I mean, if you check out some of them she kinda had breasts like Larisa. I thought she was already 14 or something, but then now thanks to Woo she looks like 10. I'm kinda confused, is she a girl or a teenager? Maybe both… if so, good work
*snirk* Who knew Larissa was a fan of a happy medium in anything? Sandy's first "outfit" was too modest and now her curent state of attire (or lack thereof) is too revealing. So hard to please, Larissa. So hard to please . . . She's the resident Goldilocks.
Well who says vogue can be trusted
I'm surprised nobody's commented using a pedobear avatar yet.
It's like Woo and Larisa are conspiring against Sandra or something… o.o
Hidden due to low comment rating. Click here to see.
Yay! Lolicon fanservice!
*hoping for 3rd Woo sneak attack to finish off Sandra's panties.
well… that was different. thank goodness none of that was detailed, though I'm not sure whether to find this funny or… what. I'm just glad you didn't go all the way with panty damage.
I don't find this suggestive to any sort of perversion or anything, but I'm wondering where you're going with this. Perhaps you're practicing drawing in different situations and attire? As comic readers, we like to be entertained in your story telling, which is in varying levels of cute, deep, comedic, and dramatic. This seems to lean towards the comedic element, in a rather different direction than we're use to.
I hope most of your comic fans aren't getting too excited about this, as I would like to think this is a one time thing.
is it just me or is the way that sandra is proping herself up Inadequate to cover her breasts. at that angle you should be able to see evry thing. you can fix that by raising her arm, but as it is she looks like an asexual clone

I noticed that two in the 4-th panel odd isnt it

I found this inside the Madarake box I got today.
More Kuroneko. On an unrelated note Drakengard 3 ending C was kinda…..well its definitely worse then the first 2. B was probably the nicest one. Although I kinda liked C's credits song
Here's some Ruri! The dress is semitranslucent which is pretty cool
Have some µ-12
Also got Kuroyukihime BQ Dengeki Special ver.
Another gif that won't work..ah well
So I took a bunch of Photo on my phone…which automatically get uploaded on to my Google account.
But then google…takes them in turns them into a gif? I had no idea it could do that!, I have no idea how to make gif's at all (and am to lazy to learn) So I think its pretty cool, thanks google!

No. He was not correct. "I have one son" carries no implication by itself, implied or otherwise, about how many daughters there are in the family. It depends upon context.
Q1: "How many children do you have?"
A1: "I have one son."
This would be interpreted as meaning "I have one son - he is an only child."
A2: "I have a son."
This would be interpreted in the same way as A1, but is a strange way of replying.
A3: "I have one son and two daughters."
A4: "I have a son and two daughters."
A3 and A4 both mean the same thing, and are equally acceptable. Neither form is more common than the other in native speech.

Edythe Kirchmaier, 105, first started driving in the 1920s, when Prohibition was still in effect.
A 105-year-old California woman who has maintained a perfect driving record for 85 years just passed her most recent driver's test, according to Foxnews.com.
Edythe Kirchmaier took her first driver's test in the 1920s, and since then she has not received a ticket of any kind, the source said. She passed her latest driver's test last week on her 105th birthday.
"I think I'm a pretty good driver," Kirchmaier told Foxnews.com. "I feel safe about getting my driver's license renewed because I've never had an accident."
Originally from Ohio, Kirchmaier has worked as a volunteer for a local non-profit, Direct Relief International, for the past 40 years.
According to Facebook.com, she's the oldest person with an active Facebook profile.

Novato's last remaining medical marijuana facility — at least of the kind that operates out in the open for all to see — is shutting down by mid-June, its owner announced Tuesday.
Lawrence Pebbles kept his emotions in check and even said "I love Novato!" after he made a statement before the Novato City Council on Tuesday night about his decision to shut down the on North Redwood Boulevard at 8 p.m. June 15. It has been open since April 2010.
Although he was more upbeat than some expected about the closure of his business, Pebbles expressed his dissatisfaction with the lack of communication with city officials.
"We haven't heard anything from our council about (this). Why was there not a response?" he asked during the meeting's open time. "... Out of courtesy, we could have gotten, 'Hey, we're not interested anymore' or something. Have you asked your constituents? Have you spoken to them? Have you reached out?"
The medical marijuana topic was not on the agenda, and thus the council and city staff were not compelled to respond.
Novato has a moratorium on pot club operations, in line with federal laws that prohibit the sale of marijuana. in April and the Apela Collective in Ignacio opened and closed within 2009.
Green Door's pending closure will take place just more than seven weeks after federal agents forced Green Tiger to close right next door to Pebbles' Green Door facility. Pebbles said Tuesday that federal agents were busy "seizing our citizens' property" and that his attorney had been in communication with the U.S. Attorney's local office.
"I see this turn of events as a failure to our patients, their families and the community," Pebbles said.
He said the country has heard from President Barack Obama on the controversial subject of gay marriage and he was puzzled as to why he hasn't heard from Novato city leaders about the subject of medical marijuana collectives.
"It would have been wonderful if we as a community could have chatted about this and had some intelligent conversation and discussion and been able to invite some experts in in different areas to kind of like make a plan to overcome any of the fears and concerns we have about medical cannabis."
Pebbles said Green Door had several thousand club members who were upset to learn of this decision.
"It's a lot of sadness at our club right now," he said.
While Novato's elected officials kept quiet on the issue, some lawmakers have taken political stands. Sen. Mark Leno and Assemblyman Tom Ammiano, both Democrats from San Francisco, joined medical marijuana patients, dispensary operators and advocates in October 2011 for sweeping criminal prosecutions against pot dispensaries, threatening landlords with eviction, property seizures and imprisonment.
"I urge the federal government to stand down in its massive attack on medical marijuana dispensaries, which will have devastating impacts for the state of California," Leno, who represents Novato in the state Legislature, said at the time. "At a time when resources are precious and few, federal officials have chosen to waste time and money in an ambush that will harm countless patients who will no longer be able to safely access doctor-recommended treatments.
"Our federal dollars, especially during a down economy, would be better spent on activities and programs that save jobs and help people in need. Instead, this ill-timed and ill-conceived offensive would have detrimental impacts on our state's economy by forcing more Californians into unemployment."
Pebbles said he believes something will work out in the future and another medical marijuana collective will be able to open and stay open.
"It's just a matter of time," he said.
Only one pot dispensary remains in Marin. For a story in the Marin Independent Journal about it, click here.

Straight brunchin'.
Berlin Sunday: Brunchy times.
Straight brunchin'.
Berlin Sunday: Brunchy times.
Delicious flat white on a rainy November afternoon at Goodies Berlin. Seattle and Berlin are true sister cities, in spirit if not in fact… for those stuck living in cities with sunshine and lousy java, you can make your own miniature Rain Metropolis with a stovetop milk steamer, quality coffee beans, a plaid shirt, Nirvana and this website: www.rainymood.com :))
Not usually a food pornographer, but let's appreciate having time to make breakfast yesterday (thx Tag der Deutschen Einheit). Cooked up some tasty eggs and tofu with apple sauce and quality drip coffee. Nice, leisurely day on the couch and at the gym, then headed to Brandenburger Tor to see if Germany's national holiday would yield interesting images. Disappointed by the crowd's complete lack of flags (does it really take a FIFA Weltmeisterschaft to bring out a flicker of national pride?) and the mediocre band onstage, so I wandered over to the Bundestag to admire the flags in the dusk, listen to Nena's "Made in Germany" and contemplate my love for this place. Alles Gute, Deutschland.
Downtown Seattle has good taste! (Taken with Instagram)
Reading this excellent biography right now! Three cheers for Lawrence, random Seattle shoutout, and well-written historical bios. :)
Brunchy times! Tasty Milchkaffee with Blaubeer-Streusel Muffin at Wahrhaft Nahrhaft, Berlin-Friedrichshain.
And the (tasty) flipside of those many glorious nights without sleep… many caffeinated mornings. :) This one was a rather scrumptious Milchkaffee at Cafe Kotti, perched above Kottbusser Tor in Berlin.

Varian reminds me of the Prince of Persia in Warrior Within. His looks, his attitude, his double-wielding, his desire to kill the "beast" that the Horde represents to him. But the Lich King is the true beast. *They* have to kill that bastard ASAP. Yeah the idea to re-take the UC is nice, but I want to see the Icecrown glacier "burned to the ground".

Chapter 7.1 Reviews
so these are starting to get longer. enjoy!
well, to be quite honest, neither did i.
but, we'll see how long that lasts. because nothing lasts forever, right?
after all that happened at my house, frankie and i decided to head over to starbucks, cause i was in need of some caffeine and frank wanted a blueberry muffin.
we entered starbucks, and the first thing that caught my eye was a bubbly punk bright headed blonde attached to the lips of a dark haired boy. oh my god.
i felt something in my stomach drop. but more, i felt angry. i dont know why, and i certainly know i was getting over gerard. but this didnt help any.
but, frank. frank is such a sweetheart. i really care about him. in time, i may even love him. but something about seeing gerard sucking face with amy, was not very comforting.
you still love him! oh thats priceless.
oh no. not you again.
you know why this happened? cause you never told him like i told you to do!
and why, may i ask, should i listen to you?
because i am your all-knowing conscience.
well i think telling him would have made more things awkward.
the worst thing that could have happened was rejection.
youre %100 correct, and most humans dont deal well with rejection.
now shut up!
i was so deep in thought, i hadnt even realized we got our coffee, and frankie's muffin.
"lets find a place to sit-- uhh, outside? yeah its nicer outside." frank suggested.
"frankie, its freezing outside." i pointed out.
"but...but...i like the cold. come on." he grabbed my arm to walk out.
"frank, if this is about avoiding me seeing amy and gerard together, ive already seen them. no big deal. im over it." i lied.
his face fell in defeat.
he agreed, but we did sit on the opposite side of the cafe that they were on.
i actually was having a really good time.
"frankie youre getting muffin like all over me!"
"ohhh sorry princess, ill just spit my muffin chunks over this way!!" he joked, i snorted.
he placed an arm around my waist and kissed my cheek, and i smiled and kissed his nose.
"hey guys!....uhh, whats going on here?" both our heads shot up to meet a very confused gerard.
frank and i both smirked, and i thought of something to say.
frank beat me to it.
"what, best friends cant go to starbucks and eat muffins and..and hold eachother?" he said awkwardly.
that had to be the worst excuse ive ever heard.
"well, ive never seen you two exactly that close." he narrowed his eyes, not liking the situation before him. i was suprised, he looked angry.
"gerard, dont you have to get back to amy or something?" i sighed.
his face twisted in anger.
"what, so i cant talk to my best friends anymore?" he spat. "well thats just fine. i dont need you two. i have amy. have a fucking good night." he replied, venom dripping off of every word.
that hurt. those words he spoke were like knives going right through my heart. i turned to look at frankie, and he looked just as hurt. i didnt mean to make him so angry. i wished i had never brought up amy. now i feel like a major jackass.
"come on hannah, lets go home." frank said softly, and i agreed.
we walked to my place first, and we stopped at my front door.
"do you think he'll never speak to us again?" i asked, while pushing snow in circles with my foot.
"oh come on, dont think that." he gave a half smile and pushed some hair out of my face.
"everythings gonna be alright. ill come over tommorow morning, kay?"
"kay." i kissed him goodnight. he turned his back to me to walk down the sidewalk, but i stopped him. "frank!"
he turned around. "yeah?"
i ran to him and pecked him on the lips once more. "be careful. these jersey streets are dangerous."
he smiled and kissed my forehead. "i knoooow. goodnight."
i laughed and walked inside, slowly shutting the door.
i crept inside and saw Riley passed out on the couch. i quietly tried to make my way up the stairs, but he stirred.
"oh hey, hannah." he spoke. good, good. its okay, hes sober.
riley is actually a pretty great guy when hes sober. but when his lips touch alcohol, everything is completely different. i like the sober riley. i just hoped hed figure out that he did too.
"hey, riley."
"where were you? i was worried." he looked at me sincerely.
but people, dont get your hopes up. this is a rare occasion, that hes in his right mind. he would be a really great father if he never touched booze again. I then heard banging coming from the kitchen, which meant my mom was home.
i ran into the kitchen and she opened her arms for me to embrace her. i hugged her tightly and she kissed my forehead.
"youre back, mommy." i said softly, and looked up at her.
my mother really works hard. i admire her. when dad left, it was me and her. we were a team. Everything she does is for me, for my well being. i couldnt ask for a better mother. I think she married riley so that we could have more support, so that we could have a better living. she does love him too.
she smiled, "so honey, anything new happen since ive been gone?"
i thought for a moment, should i tell her about frank? maybe i would later.
"no, not really. everythings pretty much the same." i lied.
i helped her with some of the things she was putting away in the kitchen. it was nice to have her home.
i felt a wave of her perfume hit me, and i felt comforted.
you know how when youre little, certain things remind you of your mother? like there are certain things you remember about her, that when you experience at times later it comforts you?
well her perfume always made me feel good. because i knew that when i smelled it, she was nearby. i always loved her soft natural blonde hair, and her slender fingers. i wished i could be just like her.
after helping her in the kitchen, i retired to my bedroom. i lay down and watch the ceiling a bit. the light hit it differently each time a streetlight would change, and i found this amusing.
i started to drift off to sleep when i heard a soft knocking at my window. i groaned, and mumbled curses to whoever disturbed me at this time of night.
i pushed back the curtain, and came face to face with a sympathetic looking gerard.
i sighed, and opened the window. he stepped in, and i sat down on my bed. i fixed my chocolate brown hair a bit, as it was somewhat messy from lying on it.
he took a breath before speaking, "Im really sorry." he whispered, so quietly that it was almost inaudible.
"sorry for what?" i asked, even though i knew the answer. i just wanted to hear him say it.
"for saying the things i said to you today." he paused. "i...i was just angry. i felt like you didnt want me to talk to you."
"thats not it at all, gerard. its just, you spend all this time with amy, and we like never see you anymore. and you expect us to act like we see you all the time." he nodded sadly.
"i know, i know. and thats going to change. im going to make time for amy, and time for you." he looked for my reaction.
"id really like that." i replied, relief sweeping over me. i missed this boy.
sure, i was still a little hurt about the things he said, but its gerard. i know he cares about us.
he grinned, and continued. "want to know something really awful?"
i nodded, urging him to go on.
"all this time ive been ignoring mikey too. me and him used to hang out all the time, and now i dont even know whats going on with him. he feels like im embarrassed by him or something." he frowned.
i frowned at this too. mikey is such a great kid. usually, he hangs around with the three of us. but i havent seen him lately.
"if anything needs to change gerard, its that. mikey is your baby brother."
"i know. i feel horrible." you should.
"will you answer me something though?" he asked hopefully.
"sure." i wasnt sure what i was getting myself into.
"are you and frank like....together?" he looked in my eyes, searching for an answer.
"yes." i said truthfully.
his face fell again. i dont know if i should be curious about this, or somewhat angry. its like he didnt want us to be together.
but then to make things worse, he spoke his mind:
"do you really think thats a good idea?" i stopped looking at the ground and shot my head up to meet his.
"what is that supposed to mean?" i spat angrily. i think he got the hint.
"i mean, you and frank? come on. no way." he laughed a bit.
i didnt find it funny at all. "well its not like we need your approval." his face changed.
"i know, im just saying, i dont see it ever going anywhere!" he defended. thats it. know hes making me furious.
"gerard, go home. i dont really care what you think. just dont worry about my relationships. go worry about your own." i yelled at him.
i lowered my voice, "i dont butt into your relationship." i pointed out.
he wore a sad face, and nodded. i immediatly regretted yelling at him. because mind you, i still love him. god knows i still love him.
but what can you do?
he sadly climbed out the window and headed home. i wanted to slap myself. i just made him feel like shit. like i didnt care about his opinion. but god, did i. every word he said mattered like you would never believe.
i could basically die for every word he said.
...isnt that a dashboard confessional song? well its true.
and im pretty ashamed of myself. because what if he never knows how i feel about him? what if gerard way never knows how much i love him?
i decided i wouldnt let that happen.

I run AD, Linux, Apache, Bind, MS DNS, IIS 4, 5, 6 my team supports a site supporting IE, Mozzila, firefox, enterprise firewalls, linux iptables firewalls protecting 100+ networks. I have implemented linux as an intranet server, samba server, Proxy server, filter server, and external web server vhosting 80+ web sites (now moved to IIS6). I have implemented MS Proxy2, wingate and ISA 2000 amonst other things so I have some experience in these fields.
Extensibility - from a point of view of developement Microsoft APIs and their documentation are fantastic. The range of products available is immense. Try to implement Linux to replace AD. Go on... give it a go. Your brain will be bleeding with effort before you can get basic functionality. I know I have been there
MS AD has out of the box integration for ALL its server products. ISA Server and IIS both support integrated authentication for its proxy and web users on an intranet for IE users for example.
Linux can support these protocols but its a far cry from what MS can do and again effort to reward ratios are way tipped towards M$.
If Linux is ever going to start competing with M$ it needs to
1. Implement some decent management tools
2. Standardise its goddam config files back from the 1970's to be XML (which will make point 1 soooo much easier)
3. Integrate its products better.
4. Get some decent backup support (I dont include NetBackup)
Cachepilot? Oh god sounds like a relative of Netpilot. The noise of the netpilot starting up (beep, beep bip beep, beep bip beep, beep bip) still haunts my dreams. Ack gad - cack.

Prestigious Spencer Grant to Benefit Pre-calculus Course, Student Research Journal
MERCED — A collaborative proposal by three individuals from UC Merced has won a prestigious $25,000 grant from the Spencer Foundation's Forum for Excellence in Higher Education. Robert Ochsner, Bruce Birkett and Professor Arnold Kim will use the funds to further improve UC Merced's pre-calculus course and to start up a new, electronic journal of student research.
"Receiving funding from the Forum for Excellence in Higher Education is a major triumph for a public university," said Dean of Natural Sciences Maria Pallavicini. "All three collaborators deserve congratulations for their successful proposal and their insightful plans to facilitate academic success at UC Merced."
"Innovative practices in writing and mathematics are two key areas of focus for UC Merced's educational mission," said Kim, explaining the plans he and his colleagues have made. "UC Merced is the only public institution in this forum, participating alongside Harvard, Duke and other prestigious higher education institutions."
Kim, a professor in the School of Natural Sciences, led the mathematics portion of the proposal along with science and math educational consultant Bruce Birkett. They plan to make improvements to UC Merced's pre-calculus course, Math 5, including small classes, reduced lecturing, more active learning, group work, and incorporation of technology. They will then track and evaluate the results of these changes — an important requirement for the Spencer Foundation's program.
The team hopes to change pre-calc from its traditional role as a weed-out course to a fertile ground for future innovators. "At UC Merced, all science, technology, engineering and mathematics — or 'STEM' — majors require calculus," Birkett explained. "Therefore, pre-calc is a potential barrier preventing students from entering those fields. We believe that helping students succeed in this course will put them on a trajectory toward completing a STEM major."
Some of the changes Kim and Birkett plan for Math 5 are already being implemented this semester, and Birkett says they believe the percentage of students succeeding in the course will increase from about 50% — a typical success rate for pre-calculus courses nationwide — to about 80%, based on mid-semester grades.
To evaluate the long-term effects of their changes, Kim and Birkett plan to track whether students continue in STEM majors and how they do on the calculus gateway exam that UC Merced will begin requiring next semester.
For the writing portion of the grant, Ochsner, the director of UC Merced's writing program, plans to found an electronically-published journal of student research. Students will submit papers for the journal based on their coursework or their independent interests, and a student editorial group will prepare them for publication. A collaborative committee including students and faculty members will select top papers to receive Awards for Excellence in Writing. Ochsner hopes the journal will then become a supplementary text for UC Merced courses.
"Students who submit material for review will have the opportunity to be recognized as excellent writers and researchers," Ochsner said. "This has potential consequences for their admission to graduate school or for their future employment."
The journal will also benefit the communications and teamwork skills of its student editors, Ochsner added. "Overall, students will benefit by writing and editing for a purpose and audience that transcends the classroom," he said.
The Forum for Excellence in Higher Education, which awarded the grant funded by the Spencer Foundation, was founded by Harvard professor Richard Light and Spencer Foundation president Michael McPherson. Its goals include helping institutions retain contributions from individual professors after they leave the institution, sustaining improvements in a broad range of types of institutions of higher education, fostering collaboration among institutions, and building innovations with measurably successful outcomes into the fabric of campus life in order to help students maximize the quality and value of their time at college. Participants in the forum are Amherst, Bowdoin, Davidson, Duke, Georgetown, Haverford, Harvard, M.I.T., Macalaster, Middlebury, Olin, UC Merced, Wellesley and Williams. Dean Kenji Hakuta of the UC Merced School of Social Sciences, Humanities and Arts sits on the board of the Spencer Foundation.

Glaucoma (cont.)
Treatment Overview
Treatment for glaucoma focuses on preserving eyesight by slowing the damage to the nerve located in the back of the eye (optic nerve). In adults, treatment cannot restore eyesight that has already been lost as a result of glaucoma. But in certain children, some of the damage caused by congenital glaucoma can be reversed.
Most treatment for glaucoma is directed at lowering the pressure in the eyes (intraocular pressure, or IOP). Optic nerve damage can occur at any level of eye pressure, even within the normal range. Lowering the IOP often can help protect the optic nerve from further damage.
Treatment options include medicines, laser treatments, and surgery. In the United States and Canada, treatment usually begins with medicines. When treatment with medicines does not successfully lower pressure in the eyes, laser or surgery treatments need to be considered. But in some instances it may be appropriate to use laser or surgical treatments first, particularly in moderate to severe cases. Studies indicate that treatment with medicine or surgery are both effective, but the risks and benefits may differ depending on the type of glaucoma, age, race, and other factors.10 If you have glaucoma, ask your doctor about all the possible treatment options and which treatments may be better for your particular condition.
Initial treatment
If you are diagnosed with glaucoma, a target eye pressure for each eye is established. The target is based on the amount of damage to the optic nerve and the pressure in the eyes (intraocular pressure, or IOP) at which the damage occurred. The target eye pressure level is approximately 20% to 30% less than the prior eye pressure. During treatment, the target eye pressure is adjusted as needed to prevent damage to the optic nerve.
If you have high IOP but no other signs of glaucoma, you will need to be checked regularly by an eye specialist (ophthalmologist). If the pressure is high enough, you may be treated with medicines to lower the pressure and prevent vision loss. But the decision to start treatment in the absence of optic nerve damage is a serious one, as it exposes you to the risks and expenses of long-term treatment.
Treatment for open-angle glaucoma may involve medicines (eyedrops) that lower the pressure inside the eye, laser treatment, or other surgery. In the United States and Canada, eyedrops that lower the IOP are usually tried first. Decreasing eye pressure in open-angle glaucoma slows the progression of the disease and helps prevent further vision loss. But other treatments (laser or surgery) may sometimes be considered as an initial form of treatment if you have moderate or severe open-angle glaucoma.
Closed-angle glaucoma can be an emergency situation (acute closed-angle glaucoma), because blockage of fluid in the eye causes a sudden increase in pressure, resulting in rapid damage to the optic nerve. Acute closed-angle glaucoma usually causes significant pain in the eye. Acute closed-angle glaucoma needs immediate care, including medicines to lower IOP, monitoring of the drainage angle, and often surgery. If it is not treated immediately, blindness can develop rapidly.
Congenital glaucoma almost always requires surgery to correct the defect. Medicine may sometimes be used, but it usually does not work over time.
If you have already experienced a significant vision loss from glaucoma, your doctor will also conduct a low-vision evaluation. The evaluation will help you and your doctor find ways to make the best use of your remaining vision. It also can include suggestions for counseling and training on dealing with reduced vision.
Because glaucoma can lead to a significant loss of vision before it is detected, learning that you have glaucoma can be difficult. You may feel saddened and become depressed. Your doctor can refer you to counselors who specialize in helping people adjust to living with low vision.
Ongoing treatment
After you start treatment for glaucoma, you will need regular eye exams by an ophthalmologist. During these exams, the pressure inside the eyes (intraocular pressure, or IOP) is usually measured. You may need to see the doctor every day until the target eye pressure is reached. After the target pressure is reached, you may need to see the doctor every 3 to 6 months. The ophthalmologist will examine your eyes for changes in the optic nerve that indicate the disease is getting worse despite treatment and will adjust the target eye pressure if needed.
If the pressure in the eye continues to be high or if damage to the optic nerve gets worse despite treatment with eyedrops, laser treatment may be done.
If you have narrow drainage angles, you are more likely to develop closed-angle glaucoma. If you are diagnosed with closed-angle glaucoma, you will need regular evaluations to check your drainage angles and eye pressure. You may need laser treatment to prevent sudden closure of the angle.
Medicines, usually eyedrops, are used to lower IOP by either decreasing the amount of fluid produced by the eye or increasing the amount of fluid that drains out of the eye. It is important to understand that treatment for glaucoma will most likely continue for the rest of your life.
Home treatment can help you live with the effects of glaucoma. You can use vision aids and adaptive technologies, such as video enlargement systems and large-print items, to help you function better with reduced vision. You can develop a support network of people who can help you with difficult tasks. And you can get counseling and training to help you cope with reduced vision and maintain your quality of life.
Treatment if the condition gets worse
Surgery for glaucoma usually is needed only if you continue to lose vision and the pressure in your eyes (intraocular pressure, or IOP) cannot be lowered with medicines or laser treatment. In some countries, such as Great Britain, surgery is done early in the disease process.
Surgery may be done to make another opening for fluid to leave the eye. Sometimes, surgery to destroy part of the eye that produces the fluid (ciliary body) may also be used to decrease fluid production. This type of surgery is usually done only for advanced cases of glaucoma in which other forms of treatment have not been effective.
What to Think About
Glaucoma cannot be cured, but the pressure inside the eye (intraocular pressure, or IOP) can be controlled with medicines, surgery, or both. In adults, treatment for glaucoma cannot restore eyesight that has been lost because of the condition, but it can prevent further damage to the optic nerve and save remaining eyesight. In certain children with congenital glaucoma, some of the optic nerve damage caused by the disease can be reversed with treatment.
Medicines (most often eyedrops) are usually needed to treat glaucoma. In most cases, they have to be used every day for the rest of your life. Putting eyedrops in the eye at specific times of the day may be inconvenient. For some people, eyedrops can also cause discomfort. You will need to follow the prescribed daily schedule for your eyedrops in order for them to work properly.
Unlike some chronic diseases in which failure to take medicines causes noticeable symptoms, not using your glaucoma medicines as prescribed will not usually cause any obvious symptoms. But it may cause slow, often unnoticed loss of eyesight that is permanent and that could eventually lead to blindness.
Because glaucoma can't be cured and treatment does not always prevent further loss of vision, people may try alternative unproven treatment methods, such as acupuncture or marijuana. But most of these alternative treatments either have not been studied or have not been proven to work. Such treatments may be expensive, and some can be hazardous to your health.

Best things about FWT, so far…
I asked a couple of my friends how their FWT's have been going and these are some snippets of the best things so far.
Ranleigh '13 - Architecture Firm: Barcelona, Spain
Went on a "business trip" to Cadaqués, a little fisherman's village on a bay on the Coasta Brava with my FWT supervisor to take measurements for a house I'll be drawing next week. She also taught me how make a traditional Tortilla Española (spanish potato omlette) and gave me a tour of the village which was a popular hang out for young artists including Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dalí, Joan Miró and John Cage.
Eissa Saeed '12 - Paper Magazine: 5th Avenue, NYC
First day at work and I score some super fly new sneakers and get to see the Empire State everyday.
Alex '14 - From the set of the horror movie "Schism": New Orleans, Louisiana
I could not be getting a better exposure as to what it's like working on a small, low-budget film. It's hectic, it's messy, it's tough, and it's so much fun. We have great actors (from Dead Like Me, The Human Centipede, and How to Make It In America, as well as THE Vinnie Jones) and an unbearably friendly and professional crew. And this is just pre-production; the three weeks of 14 hour night shoots start next week…
Carlos '14 - Guallart Architects: Barcelona, Espana
For the 1st time in my life, I feel like I'm doing important things, that actually relate to what I've been studying. I also have a desk with a computer and sticky notes, and it makes me happy.

Suspicion has fallen on extremist Jewish West Bank settlers or their supporters, who are believed to be behind a series of attacks in recent years on mosques, Christian sites and even Israeli army property to protest moves against illegal settlements

The challenges
- Training people to use Force.com--and not just employees. Cowen had to bring its own internal developers as well as external consultants up to speed on using the product. This took several months.
- Selling use of the new technology. Some senior salespeople at first resisted the move, Flax says. That changed when they realized the benefit of gaining faster access to reports and customer information.
- Ensuring that data about customers and research would be secure. Cowen conducted a careful review of Salesforce.com's technology and procedures, to make sure they met Cowen's security needs. The firm continues to perform annual reviews to ensure that Salesforce.com keeps up with best practices.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
TO continue your comments about server types
You mention STO as a single 'superserver' model (quite correctly ofc) however this introduced HUGE problems for a worldwide mmo. I did indeed play STO (being a long term ST fan), and stuck it out until I had 2 federation and one Klingon max lvl toon.
But it was dire. The so called 'rubberband' effect killed any sort of enjoyment for me. Imagine - there I was, I cruised over a complete sector, to land on a planet I had a quest on. After 5 mins waiting for me to beam down, the game finally decided to catch up with me. I was moved at a stately pace BACKWARDS accross the whole sector. Yep I ended up after 15mins of play EXACTLY where I started from when I left the earth base. As the only european playing in my fleet, i then asked around. Finally I found another european player. To find he also had the same problems.
If I find a MMO with a 'superserver' rather than locally based servers - I for one will NOT bother with it at all.
(As an aside I felt that STO was NOT upto scratch even without the lag effects - the graphics were cheesy - and the model one where you had to pay real money for in game benefits (although most were just graphical))
Finally on topic - I am currently on a break - possibly perminent - depending on rl issues etc. Suprisingly enough, I too have played Fallout 3 (with nearly all achievements done - curse those 'get to lvl 20 as evil/balance/good' ones), I then did Oblivion (plus expansions), and im even resurrecting my Diablo 2+LOD, and warcraft3+ Frozen Throne on an old PC my work threw out and I repaired n reinstalled XP on.
What will bring me back to WOW? - Only the people (Kit, Shen, Erik n Kattie particularly - many others also). The game is to be honest, a little tired, in spite of many shakeups (or more probably Im tired of the style of the game), but the people can be gold!
