DAYTON – Indiana experienced both ends of the spectrum in its first games in the NCAA tournament.
The No. 1 seed Hoosiers cruised to an 83-62 victory over No. 16 seed James Madison in the East Regional second round Friday at University of Dayton Arena. But they found themselves in a battle in the third round.
Indiana trailed No. 9 seed Temple 52-48 with 3:09 to play Sunday, but the Hoosiers held the Owls scoreless for the final three minutes.
And thanks to a block and key rebound by Christian Watford and Victor Oladipo's late free throw and three-pointer, Indiana escaped with a 58-52 win.
The Hoosiers (29-6) will play No. 4 seed Syracuse (28-9) in the Sweet 16 at 9:45 p.m. Thursday in Washington. IU is in a regional semifinal for the second year in a row.
Just a win and an experience and an understanding of the game that's going to help us moving forward without a doubt, IU coach Tom Crean said after Sunday's win. I'm proud of the way every one of them played.
Indiana didn't come out unscathed from its first two games.
Senior guard Jordan Hulls injured his right shoulder in the first half against Temple and spent the final 6:58 of the half in the locker room. He returned in the second half with a harness on his shoulders and a bandage on his right shoulder.
My shoulder is good, said Hulls, who hit a three-pointer and jumper in the second half Sunday. I'm sure it will be a little sore, but nothing too serious.
Indiana will want to be at full strength when it plays Syracuse.
The Orange reached the Sweet 16 with an 81-34 win over No. 13 seed Montana in the second round Thursday and a 66-60 win over No. 12 seed California on Saturday in San Jose, Calif.
Syracuse finished fifth in the Big East and reached the conference tournament's championship game, falling 78-61 to Louisville on March 16.
The Orange's offense is led by All-Big East second team selection C.J. Fair, who averages 14.5 points and 6.9 rebounds. He scored 13 against Montana and 18 against Cal.
Brandon Triche averages 13.8 points, and Michael Carter-Williams, who was named the Big East's co-most improved player of the year, averages 11.8 points and racked up 100 steals this season.
Syracuse uses a zone defense that has held teams to 59.4 points per game, the 30th best defensive average in the country. The Orange is also tied for 14th in the nation in steals with nine per game, and the team forces 15.5 turnovers per game.
The Hoosiers are second in the nation by scoring 80.1 points per game, but they average 12.9 turnovers and turned the ball over 21 times in their first two NCAA tournament games.
Attacking the 2-3 zone, just because they are so long, we can't turn the ball over, IU guard Kevin Yogi Ferrell said.
Everyone gets a little frantic about the zone and how long they are. I feel like if we just take care of the ball, move it and look for our openings, we will be OK.

Pyongyang - North Korea has decided to invite foreign experts and journalists to monitor the launch of its new satellite next month.
According to the state-run media, the Korean Committee for Space Technology (KCST) would "invite experienced foreign experts on space science and technology and journalists to visit the Sohae Satellite Launching Station, the General Satellite Control and Command Center and other places to observe its launch."
North Korea had informed the International Civil Aviation Organization, the International Maritime Organization, the International Telecommunication Union and others in line with international procedures, Xinhua reports.
Pyongyang recently announced that it would launch an "earth observation" satellite, or the Kwangmyongsong-3, to mark the 100th birthday of late leader Kim Il-sung.
A KCST spokesman stressed that the launch was for "peaceful purposes" and would "strictly abide by relevant international regulations."

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I could almost copy and paste this article and switch out the by-line. But that's distasteful. But I went from a casual rogue who just liked making alts to name them cool things to a ilvl 350 rogue who still feels like a casual player. I blame this site. I just know too much.
I recommend this site to my guild at least once a week, if not because it's awesome, then because I'm constantly asked, "Oh yeah? That's awesome. Where did you hear that?" For lack of more interesting anecdotes, I believe I first found this site when someone used the phrase Hit Cap and it went right over my head. Also, I made over 50,000 gold last month after I read over a mention of the Resale feature in Auctioneer in Gold Capped. So, thanks folks.

"Should I call an ambulance?" I've just been asked the question every parent dreads to hear … I am at my local mum and tots coffee morning. I'm struggling to stay calm: "Nooo, I'm sure it'll be fine." I say... Yet on the inside, my heart is pounding.
A women's very generous toddler, has just shared a crumpet smothered in peanut butter with my 8 month old daughter, Layla … who is now happily chopping away.
Normally, this wouldn't be worthy of a 999 call, but Layla's dad is fatally allergic to peanuts so there is a high chance she is allergic too. Peanut-butter is poison in our house … and I never eat it for fear of literally giving the kiss of death!
I grab the crumpet away from her. Petrified of an allergic shock... I stand staring at her … waiting, praying, hoping she will be okay. ...That afternoon we walk home, allergy-free … yipeee!
...This experience leaves me pondering the meaning of hope. Is it just a deep down feeling? … something I'm wishing for … something I'm praying for? … something that one day, if I'm lucky, may just happen?
"Faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see" ...this description is from the Book of Hebrews in the Bible, which goes on to list great biblical heroes … people like Noah who built a boat on dry land when there was no sign of rain.
These heroes had a vision that looked different to what was in front of them. Their hope wasn't just a feeling … it was a belief that with positive action something could be different – better.
Hope is more than me staring at my peanut-butter smothered daughter. It was me springing into action…wiping away the peanut-butter and washing out Layla's mouth.
When we really hope for something … we don't sit around wishing for it to land on our laps … we take a hopeful step forward, in faith … like the heroes of old.
Word Of The Day
A bullwark is a solid wall-like structure raised for defense, and is, like rubicon another Word Of The Day we've taken from David Cameron's post-Leveson speech. He said:
"We should, I believe, be wary of any legislation that has the potential to infringe free speech and a free press. In this House which has been a bulwark of democracy for centuries we should think very, very carefully before crossing this line."

Journalists—the good ones, anyway—trust no one, at least not until they've conducted what I call the "full proctological"—a thorough background check. When a reporter asks you to correctly spell your name, it's not simply because they want to be accurate, but because it's critical to spell it properly when searching civil and criminal court indexes, incorporation papers, bankruptcy filings, and other public records that might support or undercut your claims. ("So you say you love your mother? Great! Now, spell her name.")
Which is what makes writing about Aaron Kushner so confounding. ("The Curious Quest of Aaron Quixote") The new owner of the Orange County Register is a cipher. Likable, but as cagey as a pool hustler. What's he done before? Hard to say. His two previous businesses—the ones from which he reportedly made millions—were privately held, so there's no public record of finances. We're told they were vastly successful, but we don't really know.
Same with his purchase of our homegrown newspaper. We're told Kushner paid "a lot," and that his investor group has the money and the will to fulfill his ambitions to make the Register great. So far the group has invested heavily to improve quality, but in truth, we don't really know if all that will pay off—and won't until his unorthodox, counterintuitive plan to refloat the Titanic either works, or doesn't.
Of course, Kushner's not obligated to share his finances with anyone but the IRS. But for those of us who care about theRegister's fate, buying into Kushner's vision requires overlooking many questions about his background, his business plan, and the frenzied pace of change since his arrival last July. We hope he is what he says he is. We hope his ideas work. We hope the skeptics are wrong. So we wait, not sure if what we're seeing is real, or a mirage. That so many of us have suspended disbelief speaks not only to the desperate state of the newspaper industry, but to our fervent wish for his success.

Indianapolis, IN (Sports Network) - Troy Murphy made 10-of-13 shots from the field and finished with a team-high 26 points to go with 15 rebounds, as the Indiana Pacers held on for a 101-98 win over the Charlotte Bobcats at Conseco Fieldhouse.
T.J. Ford donated 15 points and a game-best 13 assists, while Mike Dunleavy netted 15 points for Indiana, which recovered nicely after a 106-98 loss at Orlando on Monday. The Pacers have won three of their last four since dropping 10 of 11. Brandon Rush ended with 11 points.
"I am feeling much better and hitting baskets now," Murphy said. "T.J. did a great job in passing, spreading the floor and getting people open."
Gerald Wallace had a game-high 29 points and grabbed 12 boards for the Bobcats, who claimed a 94-87 victory versus the New York Knicks on Tuesday, but they dropped to 1-11 on the road this season. Stephen Jackson chipped in 22 points and Tyson Chandler had 13 points and 13 rebounds in defeat.
"The first five minutes of the game were terrible," Bobcats head coach Larry Brown said. "You can't do that on the road. We had a couple of fouls late on the clock, those things are going to happen. You have to set the tone defensively."
After an evenly played third quarter, Indiana was up by double-digits at 79-69. Then in the fourth, the hosts continued to lead by a seemingly healthy margin until the late stages of the contest.
Ford's three-point play gave the Pacers an eight-point lead at 101-93 with 1:33 left, but D.J. Augustin hit a trey and Wallace made two free throws and the Bobcats were down by only three with 40.9 seconds to play.
After each team missed a three-pointer, Dahntay Jones was fouled and missed both from the line, giving Charlotte one last chance with less than two ticks on the clock.
The Bobcats then called a timeout with 1.4 seconds remaining to draw up a final play. Augustin managed to hit a three from the top of the arc that would have tied the game, but the game clock clearly expired before he got the shot off. A brief instant replay confirmed the ruling and Indiana held on for the win.
Indiana held a 30-25 lead after the opening quarter, then used a mini 11-5 run to start the second and grab a 41-30 advantage near the seven minute mark. Earl Watson and Murphy each nailed a three-pointer and A.J. Price added a three-point play during the surge.
Stephen Graham made 1-of-2 from the free-throw line in the closing seconds, but the Pacers still held a 56-46 edge at the break.

This Wild Life To Be Featured In ABC's The Bachelorette
Andi Dorfman, 26, a beautiful and successful woman, has it all at first glance — a loving family, great friends and even her dream job. But she realized there was something missing, so she put her busy life on hold last September to try and find love on The Bachelor. She thought she had found her match in Juan Pablo, but in the end it was not meant to be, and Andi walked away. She did not, however, walk away from love or let that experience stop her desire to find her perfect soul mate. Follow Andi's search for her soul mate in the 10th edition of The Bachelorette Mondays (8:00–10:01 p.m., ET) on ABC.
This Wild Life is Kevin Jordan and Anthony Del Grosso from Long Beach, California. The two met while working at a musical instrument store and quickly bonded over their love for hardcore bands like The Used, Thursday, and Senses Fail. Soon enough they began playing shows as pop-punk band This Wild Life. After countless shows and local success, they found new inspiration from Dashboard Confessional and Sara Bareilles and they reinvented themselves as an acoustic duo. The new tunes are heartfelt melodies with relatable lyrics that tug on the heartstrings.
This Wild Life's debut album Clouded out on May 27 on Epitaph Records and is available for pre-order now at iTunes.This Wild Life will bring their acoustic act to the Vans Warped Tour this summer. The album is streaming now at Fuse.
On ABC's hit primetime reality series The Bachelorette, one lucky woman is offered the chance to find true love. A single and eligible Bachelorette embarks on a romantic journey, getting to know 25 handsome and intelligent men, gradually narrowing the field as she continues her search for Mr. Right. At the end of her romantic voyage, if she has found Mr. Right, will there be a proposal and from whom — and will she say yes? Hosted by Chris Harrison, The Bachelorette is produced by Next Entertainment in association with Warner Horizon Television. The tenth season of The Bachelorette airs Mondays (8:00–10:01 p.m., ET) on ABC. For more information on The Bachelorette, visit http://abc.go.com/shows/the-bachelorette.

We've been hearing a lot about how Scientology's sway over Suri Cruise was the breaking point with Katie Holmes. Word has it Scientologist handlers watched Suri's and Katie's every move, Katie couldn't discipline Suri the way she liked, and Suri had already started the bizarre "sec checking" process of being asked a bunch of wackadoodle questions while hooked up to a machine. But when it comes to being a kid Scientologist, it doesn't sound all bad. In fact, parts of it sound downright awesome.
Scientology apparently teaches parents that kids aren't mindless amoebas to be helicopter-parented into a quivering mass of future anti-depressant addiction. No, Scientology kids are treated like ADULTS. Yowsa. A Scientology expert explained in the Daily News:
[Tom and Katie] seemed to be following the Scientology philosophy that kids should make their own choices and be treated like adults.
She says this "pseudo" adulthood isn't healthy for a child and "cringes" at reports of Suri wearing high heels and makeup and staying up late with Tom and Katie as they had long dinners in restaurants.
More from The Stir: Katie Holmes Should Have Had the 'Scientology Talk' With Tom Cruise Years Ago
Apart from the high heels bit (I was a tomboy), this parenting style doesn't sound much different from what I grew up with. I didn't grow up with Scientologists, but with a hippy mother who generally treated me like an adult. Not that I didn't get into trouble on occasion, but the main rule of the house was, "Get back by dark." And that was about it.
On the other hand, I was naturally a pretty good kid. I took on paper route delivery jobs; I got good grades without trying very hard. There are other kids who probably NEED micro-parenting. But growing up with a laissez-faire mother allowed me to figure out what I wanted out of life and then go for it.
Obviously, a 6-year-old like Suri shouldn't be making all of her own decisions. But I applaud the idea of viewing children as people with their own ideas about life -- ideas that may conflict with yours. And then letting them make their own decisions and mistakes -- within reason, of course.
Now if Scientology can just do away with that E-Meter thingy.
Do you think children should be treated more like adults?
Image via Getty
I treat my children as though they are people. Smaller people that do not have a whole lot of life experience, but individuals who live life in their own manner. My job is to guide them and help them understand HOW to go about making the right choices... life around here isn't a free for-all do what you want, but I don't structure every moment of their lives. We fall somewhere in the middle. :-)
I agree, our job is to help them gradually become independent people.
No. I didn't have controlling parents but I certainly didn't get away with everything or grow up way to fast for my age (until my mother passed away at 12). Life teaches you lessons. I've seen friends who got to do whatever they want, still thinking they can do whatever they want and live a great lifestyle (partying, unemployment, substance abuse). All in good measure I think...kids should have a lot, A LOT of fun, but not to the point where they are spoiled or demand everything go their way. That causes a ton of upsets in adulthood when you have to have a job, go to school and pay bills.
How is Suri's cult-religion childhood (thankfully she was saved) compared to a childhood like the author's?
I don't think they should be treated as adults... they don't have the maturity to handle adult situations... Treating them like people, i agree with that seems they have their own thoughts, opinions, feeling and understandings. They just need to be guided to becomeing good adults and not just thrown into it...
they are not adults yet they are kids,, yes with their own mind but kids needs guidance as they grow thats why they are kids and not adults yet
Really? They are treated like adults? Is that why Suri was still on a bottle at 3 years old and beyond?

Executive team
Some people call them 'The Executives', others 'The Management'. In real life, they're much more human than either name makes them sound. Passionate about print and great design, with a wide range of on and offline experience, meet some of the folks behind moo.com
Richard is our Founder & CEO – a job that's kept him rather busy over the past nine years.
After working as an Advertising Executive at Sorted, a dotcom startup, and for a design company as a Strategic Planner, Richard developed a keen eye for what he calls "remarkable consumer products" - things that people actually love to own.
A lover of all kinds of art – Richard's passion for design is perhaps rivalled only by his love for music. With design close to his heart, it should come as no surprise that he lists attention to detail, a drive for perfection, and innovation as pillars to his own (and MOO's) success.
Since MOO's launch in 2004, Richard's name has appeared on a number of "influential people" lists, including The Daily Telegraph's '100 Most Influential People in Technology', Digital Media's 'Top 10 most influential people', and Wired Magazine's 'Wired 100.' But we're sure that won't be the last you hear of him.
Richard admits to having made "every mistake in the book" during MOO's early years. He seems to have got the hang of it now, though.

If anyone on our team could be described as having his finger on the collective MOO Pulse, it's Chief Operating Officer John Kennedy.
John leads the teams responsible for operations at MOO - from sourcing our paper and making cards, to making sure we have happy customers around the world. He's also tasked with making sure that everything runs smoothly across the company as the MOO Crew grows.
Before MOO, John worked at Green and Black's to transform their business into a nationally recognised ethically sourced (and delicious, we might add) premium chocolate company. Instrumental in their stratospheric rise, John also helped secure DFID funding to transform their Belize-based, Fairtrade project from 30 farmers into a sustainable co-operative involving over 600 farmers. Not bad for a company that was just a five man operation when he got there.
When he's not helping steer the MOO ship, John splits his time between tennis, creating wooden bowls and cycling. He arrived at MOO fresh from a one-year, 8,000 mile tandem cycling trip from London to Sydney with his wife.
John once did a stand up comedy course and according to him, was "utterly useless. It was terrifying and I loathed every second. It's like doing a bungee jump – except that's less scary!"
Our Chief Product Officer, Dave came to MOO with 14 years experience at Microsoft under his belt, working on projects like Bing and Internet Explorer 3 (for those of you who can remember that far back).
In his spare time, Dave enjoys cooking – especially Ethiopian and Moroccan food. He's also a keen cyclist, having ridden across Colorado and all of its peaks. Luckily, Dave's managed to strike a healthy balance between cycling and cooking (and the inevitable eating of the delicious dishes)!
According to Dave, the best part about working at MOO is that, "the only constraint is ourselves; we aren't limited by resources or red tape. If we can think of it, then we can do it."
Dave once spent four months living in a Trappist monastery where they had 50,000 chickens, and on his first day he somehow managed to break 5,000 eggs in one go –thankfully, Dave learned a lot about keeping all his eggs in one basket.

Stephanie, our Boston-based VP of Marketing, brings a wealth of experience to MOO. She's well known for delivering results - most recently during her time with Zipcar where membership grew eight fold, awards were won, and NASDAQ bells were rung.
Stephanie studied marketing at University and fell in love with its ability to tell a story and connect companies to its customers - she says, "I would never market a company that I didn't believe in – I have to be both an employee and a customer, and understand what it is that makes it special." Which may explain why Stephanie always has her MOO cards with her and isn't shy about who she shares them with!
Stephanie's free time is usually taken up by her family, her dog Barkley (get it?), hiking, cupcake-eating, and playing a fierce game of scrabble.
Stephanie is rather proud to admit she was a 5th grade spelling bee champion… which probably explains why she's such a demon with a scrabble board today.
Learn more about Stephanie on Flavors.me
Meet Teresa, our VP of Brand & Communications. Before joining MOO, Teresa was responsible for setting up the European office for Blurb (the self-publishing platform) and leading growth across the UK and EU. Prior to that she worked at Yahoo! for over a decade and whilst living in Tinseltown she worked for Variety and Marvel Entertainment, sitting next to Stan Lee!
When we asked Teresa what puts a spring in her step on the way to work in the morning, her response was effortless: the attitude, "we smile a lot around here", she says, "and that positivity filters back through to our customers".
Teresa claims to have been bitten by a fox (yes a fox!) whilst asleep in her London flat. More distressing than the animal attack was the disbelief of the A&E staff that suggested that - not being a Brit - she may've mistaken a cute cat for a ferocious fox.
Learn more about Teresa on Flavors.me
Jonathan is our VP of Business Development here at MOO. Before jumping on board, he spent his 9-till-5 (and often more!) consulting and advising technology startups in different stages of growth - from those who were just "an idea" to more established businesses, like MOO.
A career working in start-ups means that Jonathan can boast to creating every role he's had from scratch, making each and every one his own.
Never one for keeping his opinion to himself (yes – he's one of those people who sends food back in a restaurant!), Jonathan was one of the minds behind Fizzback, the real-time customer feedback provider: an idea that grew from a coffee-addled afternoon in a cafe to an acquisition by NICE systems for $80 million.
Jonathan hasn't always focused his career on business; at the age of 21 he spent the summer playing guitar and singing at a bar on Mykonos. Fortunately for us it only paid in Ouzo and Musakka so he headed back to the UK to seek a new career.
Meet Benjamin, our resident mathemagician, or to give him his formal title, MOO's Finance Director. He's the man at MOO for anything financial related; working with everyone from auditors to lawyers.
Benjamin came to finance via an unusual route – namely, avoiding what he calls "a potentially dull accounting degree" (don't worry, he's naturally talented when it comes to numbers) and studying music at the University of Birmingham instead.
Before MOO, he held a number of financial positions amongst them helping shoe retailer Office triple their number of shops in two years, and working with online restaurant reservations company, Live Bookings/Bookatable.com, where he discovered he loved - and was pretty darn skilled at - the game of investor fundraising.
Besides working his mathematical magic on the MOO books, Benjamin plays the saxophone and piano, and loves to sing. "Well, I used to anyway" he says wistfully. "Back in the day…"
At the age of 16, ambitious young chef Benjamin cooked a meal for his entire family consisting of a different starter, main and dessert for every single person at the table. No wonder juggling numbers is a piece of cake.

Foobar is a universal variable understood to represent whatever is being discussed.
It's usually used in examples that illustrate concepts and ideas in computer science.
For instance, a computer science professor may be discussing different file formats. In this case, he would call the generic-example file foo or foobar, then list the extensions associated with the file formats (e.g. foobar.txt, foobar.gif, foobar.exe, foobar.tar).
When foo or foobar is used, everyone understands that these are just examples, and they don't really exist.
Programmers and administrators also use foo and foobar in a similar context. Files or program s named with foo or foobar are understood not to be permanent and will be changed or deleted at anytime.
Foo, bar, and the compound foobar were commonly used at MIT, Stanford and the Helsinki University of Technology, Finland. Other generic variables are used other places, but only these three are considered universal.
One last note: hackers never use foobar to mean fubar!

Meetrix Augments IBM Sametime with Polycom
Polycom Inc. continues it's cloud campaign by inking a new alliance with Meetrix Inc., a cloud integrator that will now specialize in using Polycom's social-video collaboration technology to deliver a more flexible IBM Sametime communication platform. Meetrix's flagship solution, dubbed "Sametime-as-a-service" is no stranger to the cloud, but with Polycom RealPresence as the backbone, IBM Sametime can be deployed "almost instantly," pushing the offering deeper into the SMBs and enterprise space.
More technically, the new partnership takes Meetrix's UC service and integrates the IBM Sametime service with Polycom's video infrastructure software, which can then be deployed on-premise if not delivered via a cloud service provider. The meshing of Polycom's platform with "business-grade" video software should help provide a more reliable experience that can allow for continued interoperability of the platform, critical for Meetrix's "cloud-delivered social business app."
In a prepared statement, Steve Pattison, vice president of business development at Polycom additionally commented that the alliance allows new customers to "…keep their upfront costs down, leverage their existing investments, and quickly realize a ROI." This also marks yet another collaboration between Polycom and IBM communication technology, deepening Polycom's efforts to link together interoperable communication standards, which is also a continuing goal of Polycom's spearheaded Open Visual Communications Consortium (OVCC) campaign.
Polycom's alliance with Meetrix shows the intense interest in the UC space to accelerate cloud-based communications. While moving to the cloud is hardly novel, UC in the cloud is becoming a more accepted solution, especially as SMBs and other smaller-scale organizations seek for a communication platform that does not require the installation of new hardware or infrastructure. Moreover, cloud-based UC is an ideal way for solution providers to enhance existing cloud portfolios with a valuable and powerful solution. In some ways, unified communications is the lynchpin of highly mobile environments.
Interested parties should check out Meetrix's partner program, as the company has a "high interest in partnering with other cloud-platform-as-a-service or software-as-a-service integrators and aggregators."
Worth noting: Last week ShoreTel shored up its cloud capabilities with a new Call Flow dashboard for the ShoreTel Sky cloud environment — another confirmation that cloud communication is rising channel trend, even as video conferencing declines in popularity.

Administrator, Superintendent Search
If a school entity has a need, chances are that PSBA has a service, expert or program to meet that need.
PSBA Administrator Search Services
Administrator/Superintendent Search Services work with school district, from start to finish, in seeking candidates for administrative or superintendent positions. However, we are not a head-hunter search firm that "places" candidates. Our philosophy has been, and always will be, that successful hires are selected locally -- not by a consultant.
Administrative Support Program
Your board wants an extensive advertising and recruitment campaign in order to reach as many qualified superintendent applicants as possible within a defined timetable. The administrative support program allows your board to utilize PSBA's successful recruitment strategy that engages multiple mediums, networks and alliances affording broad exposure to the executive opportunity in your district. A PSBA consultant will meet with the board to determine the desired skills and abilities of the applicants in order to design the advertisement and answer any questions from the board. Your PSBA consultant will then begin a recruitment effort for qualified applicants. PSBA will also complete the time-intensive task of managing the entire administrative procedure in order to ensure complete credential files for all candidates.
Executive Search Program
The selection of your district's next leader is critical as the demands on superintendents and school board members have never been greater. A successful executive search will consume a great deal of board member and administrative time in an environment that already places many demands on the board. The executive search program offers board members the services of an experienced PSBA consultant as well as the collective knowledge developed through hundreds of searches successfully completed by your association. PSBA facilitates the entire process and provides support to the board even after the successful candidate has been appointed with our post search services.
Interview Assistance
The board realizes that a search for the district's next superintendent is also a beneficial time to harvest information from stakeholder groups. This effort will assist the board to better understand the needs of the district and to ensure a substantive transition plan is realized once the new superintendent begins their tenure. The executive leadership program incorporates the elements of the executive search program with the benefit of the analysis and recommendations of PSBA's Consulting Solutions. An experienced, former superintendent, will work with your PSBA consultant throughout the search in order to provide valuable counsel to the board resulting in a thorough, comprehensive evaluation and transition plan for your district's new chief executive.
Customized Search Options
In addition to the comprehensive search programs listed above, PSBA offers a menu of A la Carte search service options for districts seeking support with key aspects of their search. As with all of PSBA's executive search services, we welcome discussion on customization to meet your needs.

Yoruba Beaded Crowns
Sacred chiefs of the Yoruba culture wear coronets or orikogbofo. Experimentation of style and motifs are prevalent in this particular coronet. European inspired floral patterning and the adaptation of the Christian bishop miter shows the influences of other cultures. The delicacy of the beadwork and the motifs convey symobls of status and power of its wearer.

Gift of Rod McGalliard
Headpieces of this type, termed orikogbofo, are worn by ranking individuals among the Yoruba or by sacred chiefs. While the floral motifs are derived from European influences, the overall resemblance to a Fez and the interlocking motifs can be attributed to early Muslim presence in Yoruba lands. On the rising peak of the hat, inverted heart shapes may represent leaves used for medicinal purposes. The chief would have worn this type of hat during meetings with Muslim groups.

Climate: advancing in the war of the memes
In our new world of productive abstraction and "higher IQ" we have a task never before possible:
The numbers are in - our climate is on a path to present more change than humans can adapt to.
The technology and the need are all present to avoid this outcome.
The only impediment now is a war of memes - truth against fiction.
The battle for political will.
My idea is to arm ourselves with the memic weaponry being utilised by the untruthful against us (the truthful).
Please help me construct memic missiles to turn the tide.
Here is my first salvo:
There are no climate deniers any more - only time-wasters.
This missile is deployed against denialists by simply saying "oh - you are a time waster?" and refraining from using the word "denier"
It explodes by popping the dignity of denial hidden under a false veil of prudence. Then the capsule of "denialism" ceases to become a flag under which to rally.
Can you suggest some more potential memic munitions?
We will need as many as we can get.
"Make no mistake" this is a "war on ignorance"
And, as the numbers show, the stakes are high.
Let us make sure that this war does not produce its opposite like "the war on terror" and "the war on drugs".
Let us actually fight to win. Wouldn't that be a refreshing change!
Let the army of the honest prevail.
Unleash the memes of truth!
etc ... etc ... ad infinitum
(Time-wasters would be advised not to participate here - you will be used for target practice)
Closing Statement from Mitch SMith
2 years ago, I got in touch with my brother to warn him about the impending personal challenges that we will have to face as energy goes into the chaotic weather system that we all live in. AKA climate change.
My brother said I was an idiot - that his church assures him that this is a political piece of rubbish that we can safely ignore.
I was shocked. I am his brother, and he prefers his church.
I tried to let him know, that from my understanding of chaos math, that when this happens, you will not see trends - you will see a massive increase in the dynamics you face .. for instance, el-nino will start getting larger an start becoming more sudden.
Averages will look the same, but in-between, things will get more "bangy".
I was wrong - averages show clear temperature trends - but I was right - listen to the on-the-ground experiences. The winds are becoming more dynamically gusty .. the temperatures are plunging from one extreme to the next, rainfall bangs between drought and flood overnight.
This is climate change.
My brother agrees with me now - because his church recently told him so. So I took the opportunity to let him watch the methane question .. and put him on the list of people to leave behind - we cannot afford time wasters - there is not room left for love.
I am going off grid.
Climate change manifests through our institutions - they are betraying us like falling dominos.
Motherhood, healthcare, education, money, government, markets, technology - all of these no longer work.
They have all been blown flat - not by average forces .. but by explosive "gusts" of change.
Abandon adaptation - recover adaptability.
Turn - face, enjoy - do not look back - let the time wasters burn..

Oct 5 2013: Mitch,
I appreciate your kind words about my humble IPA. More of my stuff is at: http://projectfast.org/resources-for-researchers/
yes - I would be interested in reading your paper - please send me a copy: swallis [at] projectfast.org
You might also look at the work of suedfeld and tetlock on "integrative complexity" - they use a different method of analysis but we are (more or less) pursuing the same idea. http://www2.psych.ubc.ca/~psuedfeld/index2.html
As to where prejudices come from... I found that to be so fuzzy that I gave up and focused on the conceptual systems that might provide something to measure/work with.
Remind me also to send you my paper on using IPA to analyze the structure of Gandhi's ethics.
In short, part of the answer we are looking for (imho) is that we are trying to understand a moving perspective from a moving perspective. I would suggest that our belief systems (including prejudices) are like policies. That is to say that they are a structured set of interrelated ideas. In another paper under submission (an analysis of policy in Peru), I suggest that we can look at the structure of a policy and identify what parts are stronger and weaker.
So... combining the two... it might be possible to map the structure of understanding/prejudice for an individual and or for a group. With such a map, we may be able to identify parts of the prejudice that are amenable to change and which ones are more structurally "fixed." Such an analysis *might* show us where to target our memetic volleys. This could be set up as kind of an experiment... interesting possibilities!
Oct 6 2013: Hi Steve,
Paper sent. Interested in your comments on it.
When a moving node has need to track another moving node, the Bayesian method is quite effective.
Wolpert outlines this better than I've seen elsewhere:
It is very handy to have your method as a second "entry-point" to the subject.
For instance - One of my current explorations is the adaptive system structure of tribes.
Your comments prompt me to understand that prejudice can be a part of the totemic force at work in tribal identity.
The totem is important - it is through the totem that an entire tribal surplus can be expropriated by an external agency (AKA propaganda, AKA religion, AKA nationalism, AKA advertising etc).
So an effective meme might seek to follow the totemic "insertion" and either destabilise/destroy the insertion (difficult) or strengthen the tribal immune-system (if there is such a thing).
It seems likely that such totemic perversions will be anchored in some opiate response in the brains of the victims. (Gabor Mate has done some work on this). IT might be found that the anchor-point will have some other purpose which has been hijacked.

Your whole body reacts when you kiss. Your blood vessels dilate, and your heart rate increases, making your body open to more oxygen than it normally receives. You smell your kissing partner, which has been shown to affect a person's emotions. And when you kiss, the nerves in your face carry impulses to your brain, causing your body to produce several hormones that all contribute to a feeling of euphoria, such as:
- Oxytocin, which is involved in feelings of attachment and affection between people.
- Dopamine, which helps the brain process pleasure, pain and emotions.
- Serotonin, which plays a big role in determining a person's mood.
- Adrenaline, which is what gives you a rush when you kiss. It increases your heart rate and feeds your "fight-or-flight" response.
Interestingly enough, scientists are split as to exactly why humans kiss. One theory is that it is a learned behavior that is passed from one generation to another. These researchers theorize that kissing began when primitive human mothers fed their children by chewing food and then passing it to the child's mouth. Other scientists believe that kissing is instinctive. These researchers point to a close human cousin, the bonobo ape, as an example. These primates frequently kiss each other for many different reasons, as well as for no reason at all. They also point out that many other species engage in kissing-like behavior to support that idea that the practice is an instinctive one.
While it's unlikely you'll find many people who dislike kissing, regardless of why they do it, the activity often gets a bad rap for the spread of infectious mononucleosis, otherwise known as "the kissing disease." While it's true you can get mono from kissing (it spreads via saliva), you can get it just as easily by exposure to someone's coughing or sneezing, or even sharing food handling items, such as a straw or spoon, with someone who has mono [source: Mayo Clinic].

Madrugada was a Norwegian alternative rock band formed in the town of Stokmarknes in 1993. The key band members included Sivert Høyem (vocals), Robert Burås (guitar) and Frode Jacobsen (bass). After the sudden and (so far) unexplained death of Burås on July 12, 2007, Høyem and Jacobsen decided to finish recording what was to be their final album. Entitled simply Madrugada, it was released on January 21, 2008 and following this, the band announced they would split after one last tour. They performed their final concert on November 15, 2008.

The great wall.
This is a wall that my dad built several years ago in a neighborhood in Seattle. It's one of my favorite projects of his. He's since passed, and I'd love to visit the wall and see how it's held up, maybe sprinkle in a bit of my dad's ashes so he can rest somewhere beautiful.

Translator: Susan Bernofsky
~Poetry~ | $12 ($10 direct from UDP)
Publication Date: April 14, 2011
False Friends is concerned with the poetics of translation, with the ever-shifting border made material in the crossings between languages. This DICHTionary (Dichtung = Poetry in German) is an alphabet of prose poems following the double-helix pattern of so-called false friends in the German and the English—words that look and/or sound similar in both languages, but differ in meaning. At any given moment, each of these words might be used with German in mind, or English, or both. Other times these "friends" do not appear explicitly in their poems but instead remain standing behind them with suitcases full of etymology and misread linguistic maps. In the encounters between these words, mistranslation or misunderstanding is perceived as a program to generate poetry, a space of constant transfers and a playful plea for the irritations of translation in a world more and more defined by a globalized language and culture.
"It reminds me of Shakespeare's 'Time must undo this knot, not I. It is too hard a knot for me to untie.' But Susan Bernofsky has tied it with tongue-twisting aplomb. It seems it HAD to be re-written in English and by a remarkable poet." —FORREST GANDER
Translated by Susan Bernofsky, with additional translations by Traver Pam Dick, Eugene Ostashevsky, Erín Moure, Ute Schwartz, and Uwe Weiß.
This publication made possible in part through the support of Villa Aurara.

Novak Djokovic celebrated his 100th week ranked No. 1 in the world on Monday as the latest ATP rankings were released.
One more week will tie Djokovic with Andre Agassi for the eighth-most weeks ranked No. 1 in ATP history. He is also within striking distance of Rafael Nadal's seventh-place 102 and Bjorn Borg's 109, which is good for sixth place.
It is fairly likely that Nadal, currently a mere 260 points behind Djokovic and without any points to defend the rest of the year, will overpass the Serb sometime this fall.
Nadal is next scheduled to play at the China Open beginning next Monday. He will also play the Shanghai Masters, the Swiss Indoors and the BNP Paribas Masters in Paris ahead of the Barclays.
Djokovic will play all the same tournaments with the exception of the Swiss Indoors.
Outside the Top 10, France's Gilles Simon moved up two spots to No. 14 by winning Metz on Sunday, jumping Jerzy Janowciz and John Isner.
Also making a big move was Ernests Gulbis, who jumped nine spots to No. 27 by winning St. Petersburg. Gulbis is quietly having an outstanding season, 34-15 with two titles.
Gulbis was ranked 150th a year ago, and now has a chance to approach his career-high of No. 21 before year's end.
Suspended Croat Marin Cilic dropped 11 spots in the rankings to No. 35, and will plummet all the way out of them between now and when he is reinstated in 2014.
There were no moves in the Top 20, but a nice one in the Top 50, where 2010 French Open champion Francesca Schiavone jumped nine spots to No. 47 after reaching the Seoul semifinals.
Serena Williams celebrated her 155th week as No. 1. To put that number in perspective, all other active WTA players who have been ranked No. 1 at some point in their careers combined to spend 180 weeks at the top spot - Caroline Wozniacki 67; Victoria Azarenka 51; Maria Sharapova 21; Jelena Jankovic 18; Ana Ivanovic 12 and Venus Williams 11.

No. Both are some ugly f*ckers.
Thanos is purple-ish grey (or grey-ish purple) while the Skrulls are green... and they're a different species... so I don't have a problem telling the difference... though telling the difference between individual Skrulls is difficult because they all look the same... kinda racist, but also kinda true.

MADISON, Wis. (WSAU) -- Department of Natural Resources officials say this year's harvest in the gun deer season was down 7 percent.
Preliminary data released on Tuesday says hunters killed 226,582 deer in 2013, down from 243,739 in 2012. Regional spokesman Ed Culhane says hunters caught up somewhat after a bad start. "After opening weekend with that cold windy weather and the late start to the season and whatever other reasons, we were down 18 percent statewide. And now at the end of the season we're down 7 percent statewide."
Culhane says they didn't see much in a change in harvest through our area. "Here in the northeast between 2012 and 2013 is just 1.4 percent so, pretty much the same." Statewide, hunters killed about 15 percent fewer bucks than last year, though antlerless numbers remained steady.
Hunters up in the Northwoods might have to put up with another year of low tags in 2014, according to Culhane. "We know the herd is down up north for a variety of reasons, from habitat to weather and predation. So we're issuing fewer tags, fewer antlerless tags up north and we expected the harvest would be down up there."
Officials reported eight shooting incidents this year during the nine-day hunt with no fatalities.

Well. If it ain't Swine Rand.
And: Hahahahaha
Give Back? Yes, It's Time For The 99% To Give Back To The 1%
Forbes.com | Op/Ed | 9/17/2013 @ 8:00AM
Riot, anyone? If I could find Forbes' front lawn I might water a bit of it.
It's time to gore another collectivist sacred cow. This time it's the popular idea that the successful are obliged to "give back to the community." That oft-heard claim assumes that the wealth of high-earners is taken away from "the community."
I work as hard as any of you Corporate Geniuses, I give up a bigger share of my meager income in taxes, and I do far more for my local community. But you guys make three hundred, or five hundred, times what I make. I never said you stole it, I said you didn't earn it. You could civilize yourself by admitting that.
And beneath that lies the perverted Marxist notion that wealth is accumulated by "exploiting" people, not by creating value–as if Henry Ford was not necessary for Fords to roll off the (non-existent) assembly lines and Steve Jobs was not necessary for iPhones and iPads to spring into existence.
James Buchanan 'Buck' Duke used automated rolling machines back in the 1880s to mass-market the first modern cigarette, eventually monopolizing the domestic market with the American Tobacco Company. That the Earth invented tobacco, the farmers cultivated it, James Bonsack invented the rolling machine and Buck inherited the original tobacco company from Daddy are not in dispute. But Harry says it was Buck alone who created the billions and billions in 'Value' he sucked out of the enterprise. I trump Bullshit. He was a drug dealer with power enough to bully and destroy his rivals. Not much more than that. Whatever dubious value was created was to be found in the addictive cigarettes, and Buck never made a single one of those in his life.
What the Uber-Binswangers really admire about the rich is the way they prevent the real makers of 'Value' from receiving their just rewards. Cutting everybody else out of the profits, that's how you create 'Value' Ayn Rand-wise.

Rated 5 / 5 stars December 18, 2008
This is why you're of my favorite authors...
...you have such great, creative humor. :)
I've noticed some people that included the phrase "BEST FLASH EVER!" in their reviews; and I, too, have to admit that this is probably one of the best flash animations you've EVER made for 2008, especially with the great, creative humor you've put into it, as I've said before. Seriously, a Z-gear in a car? SHEER GENIUS. :D
The other bits of humor that made me lol was seeing the carolers sing about Zanta's return (and how they eventually exploded), you and Tom dancing to Winter Wonderland in the car, while Matt was totally freaked out, the first airplane pilot being curious about how planes could fly if they were heavy in the first place (seriously, how DO they fly?), and the presents you, Matt, and Tom got.
I also thought that the music in some parts were fitting to the themes, such as the theme music for Zanta's lair.
And that's all I have to say. Merry Christmas of 2008, Edd!
P.S. Tord was MY favorite, too. XP

text: Raw Story's liberal rhetoric | Glenn Greenwald Sliming critics of the U.S. Government's "counter-Terrorism" efforts as sympathetic to or in league with The Terrorists was, of course, a long-standing staple of neoconservative, Bush-defending rhetoric and is still a core tool of the most rabid, extremist Islamophobic venues. That this is now also a common and acceptable tactic in progressive discourse and from writers for sites like Raw Story for sliming critics of the President is reflective of the presidential policies they are forced to defend. I note this not because it's aberrational, but because any critics of Obama's militarism and civil liberties assaults encounter these smears — from self-identified progressives — on a virtually daily basis[*] (as Scahill said after his Obama/drone-criticizing MSNBC appearance this weekend: "Today on Twitter, I've been called a terrorist, a neo-Nazi, a traitor and a racist. I also want Romney to be president"). Indeed, this all comes from the top: recall that The New York Times in February granted anonymity to an Obama official to smear the Bureau of Investigative Journalists as Terrorist-enablers after they documented U.S. drone attacks on rescuers and funerals ("elements who would like nothing more than to malign these efforts and help Al Qaeda succeed"). That's the bile that is being spawned. Raw Story should be very proud of itself for turning itself into a venue for all of this. *For me, it's generally an unfollow (that rate has increased as we approach November), but the smears are frequent. Blind loyalty is not a trait I have in any kind of surplus, so I guess this will be par for the course.

What a retarded decision, there is no way the guild would have gotten to the sunwell with this sort of loot policy so basically what we see here is the guild leader changing the loot policy on the fly to favour a friend.
He's also sent out a clear message, if your not one of the inner members of his little clique then you'll get second choice for drops.
And as for his pathetic argument "we'll be going in there 50+ times so we'll get it lots more times", well why not hand it to the rogue then - duh....
This is one reason I don't want to be part of a hard core raiding guild, its not just the time you need to put into it but you also need to be disciplined, inevitably it ends up with a closed circle of friends and dumb decisions happen, like this one.

Winner of the 2014 Next Generation Indie Book Award for General Non-Fiction
An American In the Basement
The story of navy captain Michael Scott Speicher – the story of betrayal and cover up that cost a man his life – can now be told and it is one that you come to understand is one of history repeating itself. Speicher's story is – no question – the seminal case in the ongoing saga of America's prisoners of war and missing in action. An American in the Basement documents what happened to him from beginning to end and reveals for the first time information that has never been told to the American public – information no one was ever meant to find out.
There is something else, something you should all know: secrets that end up costing a man his life are the hardest to keep. The guilt and the pain that comes from it are indescribable to those forced to live with the burden of what they know. When I interviewed, spoke to and provided counsel to those who tried to help Scott Speicher, men and women who provided valuable information, context and eyewitness testimony, I always thanked them on Scott's behalf. To more than one of them this expression of thanks was gut wrenching. "If I were Scott I wouldn't thank any of us who stood by and did nothing," said a member of the evaluation team that convened immediately after Speicher's shoot down on January 17, 1991. This was the same group of military officers and "men in clothes" that began the cover up that sealed Scott Speicher's fate.
"This thing cost a good man years of suffering and eventually his life, and it cost a wife her husband and children their father; there is no thank you or forgiveness for such a thing." Pausing, he continued: "My motives aren't pure, at best I'm trying to extinguish my own guilt; what's done cannot be undone… I never spoke a word to anyone until…the guilt caught up with me and it was far too late. I will never be able to make up for the decision I made to forget and move along. I just try to honor him [Scott Speicher] by being a good father, grandfather, husband, friend and countryman. Thank you so much for taking up this fight for those of us who wouldn't."
After reading his story, each and every military operator in any Western military, and each and every parent, family member or friend of one, should seriously question the validity of the promise made by America's leadership and the military chain of command to do everything in their power to search, locate, assist and recover all alive prisoners of war and missing in action. History proves that this promise is mostly political and, worse, could mean nothing at all. When you read Scott Speicher's story you'll understand why.
