A simpler time.
ROME -- Pope Francis's low-key style has been amply demonstrated ever since he emerged on the balcony of St. Peter's. But since that time a lot of us have been wondering: Are his liturgical preferences simple too? At this morning's Vatican press conference, we started getting answers. Here's what to expect from tomorrow's Mass for the Beginning of the Petrine Ministry of the Bishop of Rome:
At 8:50 a.m. local time (that's 3:50 Eastern), Francis will hop in some sort of popemobile -- either open or closed -- and drive through St. Peter's Square to greet the people. You'll see the superior generals of the Jesuits and Franciscans, who will concelebrate (with about 180 others). You'll also see the ecumenical patriarch of Constantinople -- the last time one of those attended a papal inauguration was 1054.
Cardinal Jean-Louis Tauran will present Francis with the pallium -- he's the one who declared, "Habemus papam!" And the pope's Ring of the Fisherman will be presented by Cardinal Angelo Sodano. What kind of ring? Sort of a hand-me-down. The ring belonged to Pope Paul VI's personal secretary, Archbishop Pasquale Macchi -- and it won't be solid gold, but gold-plated silver. (Here's what it looks like.)
You'll hear the regular readings for Tuesday, the Feast of St. Joseph -- not the readings that go with the Mass for a papal inauguration. The first will be in English; the second Spanish. And the Gospel will be chanted only in Greek -- not both Greek and Latin, as is customary. The pope will preach only in Italian, as he did when he met with journalists on Saturday and when he gave his Angelus address yesterday. Evidently he wasn't kidding about that whole bishop-of-Rome thing.
You won't see an offeratory procession. You will hear prayers of the faithful for government leaders -- and of course for the poor. Nor will the pope distribute Communion (hundreds of deacons and priests will handle that).
The idea, Vatican spokesmen explained, is to keep the Mass as short as possible. (They're predicting two hours.) But you might see something else in these decisions, perhaps a smaller kind of papacy.

If the pope wants to return to giving Communion to people who are standing rather than kneeling, what better time to start?. He is the pope. Non ha senso. It doesn't make sense.
Youll hear the regular readings for Tuesday, the Feast of St. Joseph not the readings that go with the Mass for a papal inauguration.
Excellent choice. For someone who is being criticized for his liturgical style, Pope Francis is hitting all the essential notes. If you are serious about liturgy being formative for the whole Church, then the whole Church from the top on down should follow the liturgical rhythms, including the cycle of readings as much as possible.Besides, you cannot find a more apt model of fatherhood, spiritual or actual, than Joseph. According to Benedict in his book on the infancy narrative, when he discovered that Mary was pregnant, Joseph sought to interpret and apply the law correctly. He wishes her well even in his great disappointment. He does not embody the form of externalized legalism that Jesus denounces and Paul opposes. He seeks the path that brings law and love into a unity. According to Benedict not only is Joseph righteous but the scripture shows him to perceive the divine and discern.Easy for the whole Church to follow along by meditating on the reading of the day as they are the same reading that will be read on the day of Pope Francis' installation!
I suspect this is a clever way of avoiding the spectacle of people kneeling before the pope to receive Communion on the tongue, as Benedict required.
Any sign that Msgr. Guido Marini, the master of pontifical liturgical ceremonies who was ever present to BXVI's left during liturgies, has been updating his resume? ;)
Why will the pope not give out Communion? There is no time element involved in that since it is usually limited to fifty, one hundred people LAY people. And why no procession at the preparation of the gifts, which can be limited to several LAY people?It looks like there are going to be 20 mph winds. Hold on to your zucchetto!
This is a good start. Maybe later there will be women distributing communion as well .... properly clothed and veiled, of course!
I wish he did give communion - standing, sitting, kneeling, whatever.So far he's more like a deacon than a priest.What is he waiting for? Is there a problem?
And the new Missal makes sense in English?
Grant, how do you think I would respond?Thanks again for your fine, "you-are-there" reports.
This all sounds really good :) Maybe this has something to do with one of the things Joh Sobrino SJ mentioned in his interview (see other dotCommonweal post) - that pact of the catacombs against pomp and ceremony in the Church.
When asked about some of the differences in his diocese compared to Rome Cardinal Oscar Rodriquez of Honduras said: "Between us and Rome there is a very big ocean." That ocean seems to be coming to the Tiber. Francis may not eb ready to dramatize how stiff and irrelevant the pompous birds have been.
At Sundays Mass at the Vatican parish church, news reports noted that Francis also did not distribute Communion.It occurs to me that by not distributing Communion himself (at least temporarily) he avoids for the time being two possible sources of disputes.1. If he chooses not to continue Benedicts practice of personally giving Communion only to persons who kneel and receive on the tongue.2. If he gives Communion to some controversial person who comes forward at the intallation Mass (e.g. Nancy Pelosi).It may be that he has decided that he has enough to deal with right now and that the issue of distributing Communion can be left to be resolved in the future.
Missa in Latino claims that Gammarelli has delivered a rush order for a mozetta for tomorrow's ceremony.http://blog.messainlatino.it/2013/03/mozzetta-back-again.html
CNS reports that Francis made his own telephone call to the Jesuit Father General to thank him for a congratulatory letter he had sent - and had to convince the Jesuit receptionist that he really was the Pope. http://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/jesuit-doorman-surprised-by-popes...
John Hayes:Yes, Pope Francis did not give out Communion at Santa Anna on Sunday. But the celebrant always gives out Communion, unless impeded by age or health. Why this anomaly? Perhaps he simply refused when he was told that two kneelers would temporarily be placed before the altar for the assembly to receive Communion (and on the tongue, which may be the rule in Vatican City, but certainly not in Rome itself). I strongly suspect that kneeling to receive Communion is not the normal practice at Santa Anna, which is under the care of the Augustinians (OSA), a community that has had a large part in my life since I was fourteen. They are, like the pope, strongly pastoral and down-to-earth. At their principal church in Rome, Sant'Agostino in Campo Marzio, my "parish church" in Rome, those who go to Communion always stand, and receive on the tongue or in the hand according to the individual's preference.At papal Masses the dignitaries present do not receive Communion from the pope, but rather a representative group of women religious and lay people, including families, is chosen in the days preceding the Mass. Representatives of national delegations receive from a priest assigned to give Communion on the right side of the Sagrato (the broad upper level of the steps, where the altar is placed.)This may all seem like trivial, insider baseball, but I believe that a fundamental liturgical principle with respect to the celebrant's role is being set aside for today's Inaugural Mass.
Agreed. He's big on connecting to people, but here is a strong liturgical connection that gets broken.
He's very old. Maybe he can't stand up for a half hour. It happens. Believe me.
My bet: Pope Francis prefers to give Communion on the hands to people standing, but he is a very humble and kind man so he doesnt want make this rebuttal of the B16 in his inaugural days.
After lots of grey days, a sunny day in Rome. The Pope seemed subdued during the Mass. He was most alive during the homily, but did not appear to depart from his text, in Italian. (The Vatican television transmission kept breaking up.) The homily, focusing on St. Joseph, was fairly brief and pastoral.It would be interesting to know whether Pope Francis has ever celebrated Mass in Latin. He was ordained in December 1969, when very likely the Mass in Argentina was fully in Spanish, though still in a provisional form. He prayed the Latin prayers in a very quiet voice, carefully looking at the book. He did not sing. Whether this has to do with the lung surgery he had many yeas ago is not clear.The Pope broke with custom, and stood to give the homily, and without wearing the miter. The miter was again the same one that he brought to Rome with him for the conclave. The simply designed vestments and miter matched. Were the vestments also from home, or newly made for him in Rome?A first, at least in my experience, a young boy sang the responsorial psalm in Latin. He didn't falter. A man, probably American, read the first reading in English; the second was read in Spanish by a woman. The master of ceremonies had planned that the liturgy would last for two hours, and it did. No doubt, the Pope will in time become more at ease celebrating in St. Peter's, and make changes that make him feel more at home.Clearly he is a man who lights up in less formal, more spontaneous situations. At the beginning of his homily, he saluted Pope Benedict on his feast day.
The homily I couldn't hear because of the poor transmission, I have now read. It is a joy. It focuses on Saint Joseph as guardian of the Holy Family. We too are called to be guardians of creation and of those most in need. There is a strong appeal to governments to protect creation. The words bonta' and tenerezza recur. Kindness and tenderness. These are not signs of weakness, but of great strength.Pope Francis ended simply: "Pray for me."Hardly an adequate summary. You will want to read the whole. A blessed Saint Joseph's Day!
Well, a partly sunny day in Rome.
John Page:"But the celebrant always gives out Communion, unless impeded by age or health." Is this written in stone. If so where? Or Is it just assumed?It may be that Pope Francis did not wish to call attention to himself. You know, see the pope distribution communion. To whom? Blah, blah, blah.With regard to the mozetta issue - Here is some information that can be found on the handy dandy source called Wikipedia:"The pope wears five versions of the mozzetta: the summer mozzetta, which is of red satin; the winter mozzetta, which is of red velvet trimmed with white ermine fur; the red serge mozzetta, which is worn during masses for the deceased; the red clothed mozzetta, which is worn during the Lenten and Advent season; and the Paschal mozzetta, which is of white damask silk trimmed with white fur. The Paschal mozzetta is worn only during Eastertide."I would be surprised to see him wearing a mozzetta.
Helen:What a glorious day!No. 117 of The General instruction of the Roman Missal reads :"He [the priest] takes the paten or a ciborium and goes to the communicants. If Communion is given only under the form of bread, he raises the host slightly and shows it to each one saying; "The Body of Christ." The communicants reply: "Amen."I don't recall ever being at a public Mass (as opposed to a private Mass at a side altar years ago) where the celebrant did not give out Communion. With one exception. On that occasion, Father Walter Burghardt, S.J,, then in his late eighties, having preached a superb homily, as usual, at Holy Trinity Parish, Washington, and then continued the Mass, began to feel slightly ill at Communion time. To my surprise, he asked me, one of the readers, to give out Communion for him. There were also a number of already assigned extraordinary ministers of Communion. There was no emergency in the end. Father Burghardt finished the Mass, and returned to Gonzaga HS, where he was living in those days.Popes always give out Communion to a small number of religious and lay people at their public Masses, even their Inaugural Masses, until today.Those chosen to receive Communion are not celebrities, so there is no commenting on who they are. They are just ordinary people. I read and received Communion at a Mass celebrated by Pope John Paul II in St. Peter's in October 1984. An unknown, for sure!Pope Francis did give Communion to the five (?) deacons today. Why no lay people? There's got to be a story there, and no doubt it will come out.(I intended to send this directly to you only, but then realized that I was typing in the comment box, and had forgotten to press your e-mail address. Given my execrable, very slow typing, I can't start over now. In any case, I think that interest on dotC has moved elsewhere. So, probably no harm.)
Maybe Pope Francis didn't give out Communion because it was simpler that way? I read that the Pope wanted to shorten the ceremony drastically, from 3 hours to 2.
Ann Olivier:The pope sat for over twenty minutes, waiting for the priests, who were not concelebrants, and deacons to give Communion to the vast crowds in the square. Why didn't any of the cardinal concelebrants participate in giving Communion to the faithful. They are, for the most part, pastors (bishops of dioceses) above all.Five/ten minutes of Pope Francis's more than twenty-minute wait could have gone to giving Holy Communion to twenty or thirty lay people, including Sisters, who are lay people who have chosen to live a consecrated life. How would that have lengthened the Mass?I've said enough, too much, on the new pope. It's time for Holy Week.
Looking at pictures of B 16, I was amazed at the bizarre regalia brought out of storage, most lately the fanon. Msgr. Guido was dressing the pope like an Infant of Prague, not to mention the outre liturgical stylings of Card. Burke. I don't find any of that inherently holy, solemn, mystery-laden or prayerful. It simply calls attention to the power of the ordained as mediator with God. I was at a medieval play and Mass broke out.I am so happy that the celebration of the Eucharist seems to be returning to a prayer of the entire Church, not just the clergy. After all sacraments are for the people of God and not the reverse.The energy put into "ad orientem" shows a betrayal of the necessary role of the full human person, especially face-to-face in worship. Are we not all in the image and likeness of God? I guess the giant candlesticks, visual walls, can be put down and away from the altar now.

I am really behind on my schoolwork (a result of both procrastination and my disability) and I need to finish 4 programming assignments in 5 days. Usually each assignment take me two days to do, working on it basically every minute I'm not sleeping or eating. My assignments are typically divided into 2-7 parts unrelated parts that teach a concept or two. In past assignments, I written between 200 and 1200 lines of code. Also I have a disability that makes it hard for me to concentrate, and my medication makes me too drowsy to pull all-nighters. Please give me suggestions for how I can halve the time it take for me to do an assignment. Thanks!
You can try using the Pomodoro Technique: http://www.pomodorotechnique.com/
Do 25 minutes of work, then take a 5 minute break should boost productivity.
I don't want to comment too much on energy drinks or pills because I don't know what meds you're already on...
HOWEVER, crunch time programmin...now that's something I know!
For my experience,
Hopefully these help you out!!
The lack of time will probably help you in completing your 4 tasks in time:
Tim Ferris tries to delegate as much as he can, but I suppose this is not the proper way to go with school assignments...
Short answer:
Just start coding!
Long answer:
Judging from that you posted a question on stackexchange i assume you are not coding right now. From my personal experience (I'm a perfectionist) - I always look for ways to make my code beautiful, extensible, fast etc. I want to make my process fast, manageable and organized. But the truth is - if you are on tight schedule just make it work. It works - great! - go to the next assignment. If at the end you still have time refactor your code and make it awesome.
I know it's easy to procrastinate believing there's a quick and awesome way to accomplish your goal - but usually it's just hard work.
Log what your spending time on ever few minutes. Review the diary and look for patterns cognitive patterns that you think are logical but take up Much of your time. Write down anti patterns you need to follow. Ie what typeof bugs do you spend most time on. Then ask people more specific qs on how to save ttime on these bugs.
This will happen naturally over time, but a more scientific process could accelerate your development.
Also try different meditation camps to develop razor focus. Never code with a weak mind.

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) -- Topekan Drew Culberth and nine other Americans are still jailed in Haiti pending their trial. (VIDEO INCLUDED)
The ten Baptist missionaries charged with kidnapping and criminal association could spend three to nine years in Haitian jail.
The group's lawyer is still working to free nine of them, including Culberth, meaning this woman, Laura Silsby, could bear the brunt of the punishment.
Topekans all seem to agree that Culberth acted with innocence, and got mixed up in a terrible situation.
"I think there's probably been a lot of chaos down there you know. He's not the type of guy that would kidnap somebody or whatever," Culberth's family friend Amy Anderson said.
Adoption official Sharon Stuewe, who was previously tough on the group, says she thinks Culberth acted with good intentions.
"Unfortunately ignorance of the law is no excuse and I think really it causes all of us to step back and take a really good look at what we're doing and think with our heads and not our hearts in this case," Stuewe said.
Meanwhile government officials say they'll do all they can to see the ten are treated fairly.
"We're going to continue to provide support as we do in every instance like this," U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said."
"We need our state department to do all they can to clear the situation up," Governor Mark Parkinson, D-Kansas, said.
Culberth's wife told 13 News she and the kids are holding up the best they can. She hasn't talked to Drew yet but scheduled a conference call with the state department today, she just fears all the snow in Washington D.C. might prevent that call from happening.
Stay with 13 News. We'll keep you informed with the most up-to-the-minute information on this developing story.

user.agent setting is ignored during gwt compilation phase
I have two user-agents to be used during java->js compilation
<set-property name="user.agent" value="safari,gecko1_8"/>
Here is my main module configuration:
<module rename-to="xxx"> <!-- Inherit the core Web Toolkit stuff. --> <inherits name='com.google.gwt.user.User'/> <inherits name='com.google.gwt.user.UserAgent'/> <inherits name="com.google.gwt.http.HTTP"/> <inherits name="com.google.gwt.inject.Inject"/> <inherits name="com.google.gwt.editor.Editor" /> <inherits name="com.google.gwt.uibinder.GinUiBinder"/> <inherits name="com.gwtplatform.mvp.Mvp"/> <define-configuration-property name="gin.ginjector" is-multi-valued="false"/> <set-configuration-property name="gin.ginjector" value="com.company.xxx.client.EdmGinjector"/> <set-property name="compiler.emulatedStack" value="true"/> <set-configuration-property name="compiler.emulatedStack.recordFileNames" value="true"/> <inherits name="com.gwtplatform.dispatch.Dispatch"/> <inherits name="com.gwtplatform.dispatch.DispatchShared"/> <inherits name="com.gwtplatform.common.ClientsCommon"/> <inherits name='com.google.code.morphia.Morphia'/> <source path="client"/> <source path="shared"/> <inherits name='com.company.xxx.Model'/> <inherits name="com.sencha.gwt.uibinder.UiBinder"/> <super-source path="overrides"/> <inherits name='com.sencha.gxt.ui.GXT'/> <inherits name="net.zschech.gwt.comet.Comet"/> <inherits name="com.allen_sauer.gwt.log.gwt-log-DEBUG"/> <inherits name="com.allen_sauer.gwt.log.gwt-log-RemoteLogger"/> <!--If you wish to host your GWT application on one domain and connect your Comet client to another domain you need to use GWT's cross site linker by including the following in your project's gwt.xml --> <!--add-linker title="xs"/--> <!-- Specify the app entry point class. --> <entry-point class='com.company.xxx.client.XXX'/> <replace-with class="com.company.xxx.client.form.TreeAppearance"> <when-type-is class="com.sencha.gxt.widget.core.client.tree.Tree.TreeAppearance"/> </replace-with> </module>
16 Dec 2011 11:59 AM #2
A few things may be happening here. First, I think you are probably putting the set-property tag too early in your module file. Generally, when defining a module file, start with the inherits statements, making sure they are ordered correctly (the com.sencha.gwt.uibinder.UiBinder module should be after both the GWT modules and GXT itself), and you shouldn't need to list some of those modules (UserAgent, for example is included automatically in User). Then, customizing the properties defined and configured in those earlier modules, and changing the rebind rules with replace-with and generate-with, to ensure that your rules override GWT's and GXT's rules.
Next, GXT 3 has added the capability of compiling for more browers than GWT natively supports. The GXT module compresses these (using the collapse-property element) down to the basic 6 that GWT defines. Using both GXT's collapse-property elements and your set-property (with set-property being placed after the GXT module is inherited) apparently increases the number of builds, as GWT attempts to satisfy all of the conditions we have set. This is new to me, sorry to add this next level of complexity...
So the eventual fix is for you to constrain the browsers using our own set of user agents.
<set-property name="gxt.user.agent" value="safari3,safari4,safari5,chrome,air,gecko1_8,gecko1_9"/>
The last thing I want to point out is a question: What are you trying so solve in doing this? If you only plan on supporting a certain number of browsers, being as specific as possible will result in only code for those browser being included. If for example you only want the latest versions of safari and firefox (not chrome nor air), the line above could read
<set-property name="gxt.user.agent" value="safari5,gecko1_9"/>
http://code.google.com/p/google-web-...ftPermutations for more info on these changes - take a look at the com.sencha.gxt.ui.GXT and com.sencha.gxt.core.Core modules for how we are wiring all of this up.
16 Dec 2011 2:17 PM #3
Thanks for a such detailed answer, Colin. What I need is to restrict the number of browsers the code is generated for, just for the sake of time and simplicity. It takes too long time to compile the code. I will try you to implement suggestions, again thanks for helping!
16 Dec 2011 3:40 PM #4
If the goal is just speed of compilation, you can also tell the compiler to use draft mode - this will skip many optimizations, but speed up the compile. Used in conjunection with fewer browsers, less permutations (and more ram!) you'll get the fastest build possible.
-draftCompile will skip a number of things, including breaking split points out into their own files, so be sure to test using a regular compile.

Our application is not rendering in IE8 browser issue but works in IE9 and Chrome.
Our application is built on GXT3 with https url, but it is rendering in all browsers except IE8. If I add the below line, it works in IE8, but limited to show only IE8. How to address the issue to show in IE8,9 and Chrome.
<!-- Mask error message -->
<set-configuration-property name="user.agent.runtimeWarning" value="false"/>
<set-property name="gxt.user.agent" value="ie8"/>
Please throw some idea on this issue.
26 Mar 2013 4:59 PM #6
The set-property line explicitly instructs GWT to *only* compile for IE8, while the first says "Don't tell me if this won't work in a particular browser". This results in apps that just don't work, with no hint as to why.
Which browsers do you want to support? If you are supporting most of the browsers out there, don't set any user.agent or gxt.user.agent, and they'll all be supported automatically.
26 Mar 2013 6:52 PM #7
Thanks Colin. I inherit the module User, hence I have not explicitly added setting for the browser, but IE8 is not displaying the application and running with wait cursor indefinitely. Hence, I added this setting for IE8, 9 and Chrome. Again no luck for IE8 but works for IE9 and Chrome as expected.
<inherit ...User/>
<!-- Mask error message -->
<set-configuration-property name="user.agent.runtimeWarning" value="false"/>
<set-property name="gxt.user.agent" value="ie8,ie9,chrome"/>
Besides Index.html is referring the below meta tag, Is that causing it.
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EDGE" />
27 Mar 2013 7:42 AM #8
I tried change browser mode using F12, and then see the application in IE8 but I noticed that there was a class added into HTML tag.
<html class=" ext-strict" style="overflow: hidden;">
27 Mar 2013 1:36 PM #9
Is your IE8 loading your app in Intranet mode? That will force IE8 to behave like IE7 which can cause issues - in your case, you aren't compiling for IE7, so the app won't load at all. The meta tag for EDGE does nothing, this is just a bug in IE8 - you must set a header to get it to recognize that you do not want it in IE7 mode.
I really don't suggest setting this line:
<set-configuration-property name="user.agent.runtimeWarning" value="false"/>
28 Mar 2013 6:54 AM #10
Thanks Colin. I have not seen any error on the screen even the line was not in the *.GWT.xml. Now I added IE7 again but no luck. If I could see an error, I would go for the fix, but I am not sure what the error is.

NEW YORK — Norman Woodland, co-inventor of the bar code which transformed global commerce in the 1970s, passed away Saturday at the age of 91 from complications related to Alzheimer's, according to a Reuters report.
The advent of the bar code reshaped retail decision-making and supply chains and its impact continues to be felt today. Five billion products are scanned optically using the bar code every day, according to GS1 US, the American arm of the global UPC standards body.
Also called Universal Product Code, the handheld laser scanner facilitates consumer product inventories, speeds passengers through airline gates, tracks mail, encodes medical patient information and is in near universal use across transportation, industrial and shipping industries worldwide.
Reuters reported that Woodland is survived by his wife, Jacqueline Woodland, of New Jersey; daughters Susan Woodland and Betsy Karpenkopf; brother David Woodland and granddaughter Ella Karpenkopf, 16.

Let $Aut(\mathbb{C}/\mathbb{Q})$ be the field automorphisms of $\mathbb{C}$, and $\mathbb{C}^{Aut(\mathbb{C}/\mathbb{Q})}$ the subfield of $\mathbb{C}$ fixed by this group. I supsect that it is equal to $\mathbb{Q}$ but I have difficulty proving it.
Here is what I do : let $x \notin \mathbb{Q}$. We have to find an automorphism not fixing $x$. It is easy to find an embeding $\mathbb{Q}(x) \rightarrow \mathbb{C}$ not sending $x$ on $x$, and use Zorn's lemma to extend it to a maximal subfield (of $\mathbb{C}$) $K \supset \mathbb{Q}(x)$. But it is not true that $K=\mathbb{C}$. So how to handle it ?

GENESEO, N.Y. - SUNY Geneseo has received the bronze NASPA Excellence Award for 2013 for a program aimed at cultivating culturally competent students.
NASPA, the organization of Student Affairs Administrators in Higher Education, selected Geneseo for the program "Real World Geneseo (RWG): A Model for Building Cultural Competency." Geneseo received the honor in NASPA's award category recognizing colleges that transform higher education through outstanding programs, innovative services and effective administration in the international, multicultural, cultural, gender, LGBTQ, spirituality, disability and related category.
"The excellence awards embody the overarching goals set for by NASPA: to lead in the advancement, health and sustainability of the student affairs profession," said NASPA President Kevin Kruger. "We are proud to promote the innovative work taking place at SUNY Geneseo and encourage institutions to follow suit and join the movement."
Geneseo launched "Real World Geneseo" four years ago after Fatima Johnson, coordinator of multi-cultural programs, and Susan Norman, director of the the college's Xerox Center for Multicultural Teacher Education, heard students ask for more opportunity to interact across cultures. She and a team of faculty and staff modeled the program after MTV's "Real Word" reality series.
"Kudos to Fatima and Susan and their colleagues in creating this innovative, award-winning program," said Robert Bonfiglio, vice president for student and campus life. "It combines participation in a four-day workshop with coursework during the semester that helps students explore what diversity means among peers with various backgrounds."
Bonfiglio said the coordinators built an outcome assessment instrument into the program, and after three iterations, they found significant increases in cultural competency, comfort with diversity and likelihood of engaging in behaviors such as challenging culturally derogatory remarks and educating others on social issues.
This is the second time a Geneseo student affairs program has received a bronze NASPA award. The Geneseo Opportunities for Leadership Development (GOLD) program received one in 2006 in the category of Student Union, Student Activities, Greek Life and Leadership.
In addition, "Real World Geneseo" was one of the four recipients last fall of the SUNY Council of Chief Student Affairs Officers Outstanding Program Award.

Saturday night's battle with Maize South would pit two teams that had similar records, similar styles of defense, and featuring strong inside play. Both teams play good defense.
South's Mariah Suchen is a big-time scorer and had eight of the team's twelve points at half-time. Pratt's Payton Hoeme upped that by one scoring nine of her twelve points the first half. Suchen scored another seven points the second half but the Greenback's Jenson Maydew scored eleven of her game-high fifteen points to counter any effort she and senior point guard McKenna Poytner would make. Senior Whitney Tilley added five points in the effort. At half-time the Frogs had a seven-point lead 19-12, from the end of the third quarter they had extended the lead to thirteen. Then a combination of several things allowed Maize to go on a 12-5 run in the final quarter. Besides Hoeme, Maydew, and Tilley, Amy Olson, Breann Becker, and Haylie Hook all contributed to the effort. The Pratt Greenbacks took third place in their tournament defeating the South Maize Mavericks 38-32. Both Payton Hoeme and Jenson Maydew made the All-Tournament team.
The Lady Greenbacks are now 8-5 on the season. Their next seven match-ups will be in the CKL, beginning with Kingman on Tuesday.

Charlotte, NC - Darion Clark scored a career-high 17 points but the Charlotte 49ers (18-9, A-10: 6-7) lost to Dayton (15-12, A-10: 5-8), 88-67, in Halton Arena.
"You have to give Dayton credit they played great in the second half," Charlotte coach Alan Major said. "We're going to keep on fighting. I'm more concerned with how we respond. We still believe that we are a good team."
Clark scored a career-high 17 points on 6-for-8 shooting from the field and 5-for-6 shooting from the line. He also grabbed eight rebounds in the game. Terrence Williams scored 15 points off the bench including connecting on two three-point field goals. Chris Braswell scored 10 points off the bench including connecting on his only three-point field goal attempt. Pierria Henry scored eight points and dished out four assists.
Dayton had five players in double-figures led by Devin Oliver's 16 points.
The 49ers finished the game with a 17-2 advantage in second chance points.
Charlotte began the game by scoring 10 of the first 12 points taking a 10-2 lead after Williams knocked down a three with 13:32 on the clock.
Then, Dayton went on a 14-4 run taking a 16-14 lead when Alex Gavrilovic scored inside with 8:59 on the clock.
Charlotte behind a basket by Williams and three by Braswell regained the lead 19-16.
Then, with the game tied at 24 with 2:59 left in the first half, the 49ers finished the half by scoring 10 of the half's final 15 points taking a 34-29 halftime lead. Ivan Benkovic, Willie Clayton, Williams, Henry and Braswell scored during the run.
Early in the second half, Charlotte's E. Victor Nickerson scored inside giving the 49ers a 39-33 lead with 18:56 left in the second half. Then, Dayton took control of the game by going on a 23-6 run over the next six minutes taking a 56-45 lead with 12:41 left in the second half.
At the nine minute mark, Clark completed a three-point play cutting Charlotte's deficit to 60-51. That would be as close as the 49ers would get as Dayton outscored the 49ers 28-16 over the final nine minutes.
The 49ers return to action on the road at St. Bonaventure, Saturday, March 2at 7 pm.

What's your favorite way to donate?
It seems that this time of year we see every charity ever, all at once. So what's your favorite way to donate? The bell ringers with SA? Writing a check to the people who send you address labels? Direct donation to local food pantry?
11 Answers answer
I usually donate through payroll deduction with United Way at work, and random pocket change to bell ringers. Up until now, my favorite way is the Christmas angel tree - going to the mall, grabbing a few angels and shopping for the presents on the list. Last year, I didn't make it until the day they were taking the tree down and I was saddened to see so many angels still on the tree - so I bargain shopped the heck out of the mall and fulfilled a few more angels than I originally intended. It was pretty awesome. Now I've been volunteering when I can get there at shelters and donation sorting areas for hurricane Sandy victims in NJ. That is the most amazing and humbling experience I've ever had.
I always give to the salvation army. We lived in Australia for a few years and our daughter was born in one of thier hospials. Being so far away from home and family hey were awesome.
I generally stay local. I prefer to donate time but it is not always an option.
I usually do the "buy a toy at the cash register" or "give a dollar to whatever charity we chose" things if the store offers them. Usually they only have cheap, $1 or $2 toys, but in the end they add up, right? And I make a LOT of trips to the store, so I can easily end up buying between 5-10 a week.
I used to work for a company that would let us do the United Way donations from our paychecks. Back then I'd give $5 every payday
We send checks periodically to various charities. I tend to give more throughout the rest of the year than in November or December.
We also donate supplies to some of the animal charities as well as occasionally foster animals which counts as volunteering. :)
Christmas Angel Tree and cash to the appropriate place.
That and time. One year I was asked to put together how many hours I'd donated to several charites I worked with. Turned out to be 15-50 hours a month. Guess they got their money's worth from me but it was always fun.
I donate cash and goods. I fund a scholarship at a local college and the funds for this come out of my monthly paycheck. I purchase toiletries and canned items I get for free or nearly free ( I know my way around the coupon game pretty well) and donate them to shelters and a youth transitional home. I donate old clothes to Salvation Army and toys to a youth crisis center.
I'm a frequent year-round donor to Goodwill. That's the only one that comes to mind immediately.
I donate to a number of religious organizations throughout the year. At Christmas I usually add some extra for the specific missionaries that I support and make some one-time gifts to people I don't support on an ongoing basis. I also regularly donate food to the food bank near me. I buy things at deeply discounted prices (recently got Halloween cake mix and frosting for like $0.25 each) and drop things off every couple of months.
The only really specific thing that I do at Christmas time is to do the "Angel Tree" thing that my church does for the nearby crisis pregnancy center. I usually buy diapers and wipes (often use the drug store register rewards/extra bucks I get on Black Friday combined with coupons and sales to make my money go farther) and at least one teddy bear. They give stuffed bears to the clients they see on their first visit, a gift for the unborn child. They go through a lot of teddy bear.
My wife is a shopaholic. She searches all the deals and buys them and then donates to various places - Toys for Tots, shelters, schools, etc. She also can't say no to people at the cash register when asked if she wants to donate a $1 to St.Judes, MDA, Ronald McDonald House, etc.
I'm planning on picking some Salvation Army Angels from a tree (if I can find one this year! I am planning on calling the local SA to see if I can find them that way).
I also bought a bunch of those cheap footballs and other assorted toys on woot! that I'll be donating to my dads church. They have a toy store every year around Christmas time that sells they toys to people in need (super cheap, no more than a dollar in most cases, and it's because the families want to pay something!).
Then, I have some other random toys I plan on dropping off at Toys for Tots, and probably some loose change in the SA bell ringers buckets.
Other random things if I have the money (the dollar store hits me up for a toy every visit, and I usually say yes), and I think some hats/gloves that my dads church will donate to an poor reservation that desperately needs them for the kiddies!

Thanks to Drew and Steve for their quick replies to my questions. Drew deserves the Mind-Reader Award for having guessed that I was trying to peak the downconverter with the AGC enabled on my IF rig. I re-tuned it and got probably about 10-15 dB better sensitivity. On the 14:20 pass of AO-51 I went outside in the beginning of our post-Wilma storm and at about 10 deg. elevation heard W2XB calling. I lost him soon after, perhaps because my house blocked the rest of the pass, or perhaps he tired of calling with no answers. With a K3TZ patch antenna made out of thin copper sheet, my TH-D7A indicated a full-strength signal when he was transmitting. Oddly, when W2XB wasn't transmitting, I neither heard nor saw an indication of a signal. Perhaps the S-band transmitter does, in fact, switch on and off with the L-band uplink. In any case, all this is good enough for me to add the S-band converter alongside the 144 and 435 MHz yagis on my about-to-be-raised rotatable array. I'm thinking the approx. 8 dBi gain of the patch antenna will nicely match the pattern of the four- and eight-element yagis if everything is tilted at a fixed 10 deg. elevation. 73, VE9QRP ---- Sent via email@example.com.

Students + Libraries = Success
Studies show that children learn best when they have the opportunity to pursue their own interests. That's why a library card is the most important school supply of all. Libraries provide students with access to innovative programs, classes and educational resources to support their curiosity. Some of our branch libraries even have homework centers staffed with volunteers to help. Best of all, it won't cost you a thing – it's all free with a Beaufort County Library system library card.
Drop by any of our branch libraries - there are 5 conveniently located branch libraries throughout the county - and sign up today. Rules and regulations for a free BCL card are found here.
Dog munch down on your library card? Can't find it? Time is running out for a free replacement card, too. See our friendly circulation representatives at any of our branch libraries on or before 5 pm on Saturday, September 29th to get your replacement library card.
A message from the American Library Association's Campaign for America's Libraries and Beaufort County Library.

I have tried to identify this movie since a long time.
It seems like a 90's movies but I'm not sure. It's about different ghost like creatures, who come to a bar/casino where they play cards and other games with other witches, halfdead, etc. During one such game, a player cuts all the fingers of the other player (both of the players are ugly looking half dead).
Its a horror comedy and I watched it on TV approximately 8 years ago on HBO India.

I'm about to distribute some relatively cheap promotional usb drives to some of my company's clients. I'm fairly confident the company I purchased them from wouldn't intentionally implant malware on the drives - but they were pretty cheap - how can I be sure that they do not have some sort of malware or rootkit secretly installed on them from the manufacturer?
You don't need anti-virus. Simply look at the contents of one of the drives. Are they empty? Fine, then you are ok. Pull random samples out and check them.
If you asked the vendor to put files on the drive, such as promotional materials for you company, then makes sure that the files match precisely.
Remember: do this from a machine with the latest patches. For example, you don't want to do this with a Windows machine with autorun enabled, or the virus will hop to your machine, infect it, then hide its files from you. A recent Mac or Linux machine will probably be safe.
Beware that USB drives can have multiple "partitions", one of which might appear as a CD-ROM drive. Check not just the one you expect, but these additional partitions as well.
All this assumes the device acts as a normal flash drive. Hackers can do something more nefarious, such as pretend to be a keyboard and inject keystrokes that log the hacker in. It's so unlikely that you don't have to worry about it, but if you do, then you'd have to hire an expert to test them.
Lastly, because of these security concerns, promotional USB drives are a very bad promotional items. Most Fortune 500 corporations and the military have rules dictating that such drives should be destroyed, and never plugged into a computer.
The simplest option is actually to set up a machine with a couple of antivirus/antimalware products on it, with no connectivity to other networks, and plug the devices in.
It is not foolproof by any means, but to get a deep assurance you would have to examine the driver files and that is likely to be time consuming and uneconomic. Depending on where you are, you may have a strong contract with the company that sold them to you, but even if not, if you find malware, you could offer them the option of providing you with clean ones or never getting your business again...
The easiest way would probably be to reformat them all. Might take some time though, depending on how many you have.
I have seen viruses spread via USB sticks in an lab environment. Windows computers can be set to automatically run software off a USB stick and there might be an autorun.inf file and an executible on the stick that you are concerned with.
What you want to do is quickly look at the USB stick with a computer that is safer than the PC's you are going to be using with the sticks later. You can use a Mac, Linux box, or a secured Windows PC with autorun disabled. The Mac method is easiest and Macs are pretty common.
Using a Mac: create a file on the desktop called autorun.inf. To do this open Terminal.app from the Utilities folder in the Applications folder. Type
Plug in a USB stick. Only one icon should appear in the sidebar or on the desktop representing the stick. If you have multiple icons you have one partition probably holding autorunning software or possibly hidden, and since this is unexpected behavior go ahead and reformat the USB stick. I like Macs for this because they read every common format, can format to FAT/ExFAT for PC's to read, are immune to PC viruses, and they ignore autorun.inf.
If you want to browse the file structure on the stick you can. You expect nothing there and any existing folders or directories should raise a red flag. You can scan the stick with ClamAV or similar on the Mac if you have it. If everything looks OK then drag copy your autorun.inf file from the desktop to the USB stick icon. It just takes a moment and then eject it and move on to the next. This will work on a recent Mac regardless of the format of the USB stick, generally FAT or ExFAT. If there is an autorun.inf already there overwrite it (there shouldn't be one!) Finally, just drag copy autorun.inf to all the rest of the sticks if the first one doesn't look suspicious because now you are just preventing future infection.
Are they in original packaging? Based on the specs and general quality of the brand, are they "cheap" from a quality standpoint?
If the answer to the first question is "no" or if the answer to the second question is "yes," then it's probably not a good idea to give them away as gifts to people/businesses with whom you want to maintain a relationship. Giving a cheap gift will make you appear as though you don't value the relationship with the customer or associate. And liability goes way up if the gift is infected with malware, esp if it is not in original packaging.

Why it's time to get beyond Title IX
There isn't a young girl or grown woman in America who's taken up playing basketball — or any other sport — and who hasn't received a constant reminder of the hard-won privilege she enjoys to be able to play the game she loves.
The activists who fought the necessary battles to open up the courts, fields, pools and coaching and administrative ranks for females in sports have influenced a generation of women who know that they owe their opportunities largely to the passage of a federal education law 38 years ago today.
Title IX is properly credited with ushering in the explosion of participation in sports for females across the board, and most notably basketball, the so-called "flagship" women's sport at the high school and college levels.
But there's another side to its legacy that threatens to tarnish the positive effects and cloud the challenges facing a more globalized women's athletics landscape. Ever since the mid-1990s, when Title IX activists began pushing for proportionality — something they deny, of course — the women's sports movement has veered away from the noble intent of the law, and away from embracing any reasonable definition of fairness for young athletes of both genders.
I'm not alone in this assertion, and those of us who are critical of what has happened do not oppose Title IX, but rather the claims, tactics and objectives of its most dogmatic defenders. In my mind, these activists have badly damaged the embrace of women's sports as much as any rank misogynist.
Best example of that: The Brown University saga illustrating the fanatical obsession with playing the "numbers game" that has become a life-and-death ritual for many Title IX activists.
This is absurd, of course, almost as much as Division I women's basketball teams getting 15 full-ride scholarships under NCAA mandates, to just 12 for men, when few programs play even 10 players on a regular basis. This prevents some badly needed parity in women's hoops, all for the mere sake of increasing the female participation head-count.
I got another eye-opener in this regard in 2003, at a federal Title IX commission hearing in Atlanta. By then, advocates for embattled men's sports like wresting, gymnastics and swimming had mobilized, and lined up a bevy of speakers to emotionally describe how they had lost their teams — and their chance to play — because their schools had to play the numbers game. Women's teams weren't being added in some cases as much as the number of men were being reduced to avoid legal action.
Conversely, the speakers in favor of maintaining the Title IX status quo were equally dramatic. A hoops coach was nearly in tears talking about what the law meant to her as a former player, and to those she was coaching. Young girls too young to have heard the word "proportionality" before stepping into the auditorium were spouting similar sentiments, likely scripted, hardly convincing.
If sports make you stronger, I thought to myself, why are individuals on both sides reducing themselves to puddles?
Most recently, the Obama Administration earned its bona fides with the Title IX establishment by reversing a Bush-era policy that was rarely used and that few people outside a tiny cluster of activists, lawyers and athletics administrators even knew about. Yet media cheerleaders couldn't contain their melodramatic glee.
Is this what Title IX has come to? Rigid postulating, staging photo-ops, browbeating critics, threatening and filing endless lawsuits and needlessly wasting time, energy and money haggling over numbers? Is this how petty Title IX activists — and to some degree their opponents — have become?
It's time to scrap the three-part Title IX test for compliance — now 31 years old, dating back to the AIAW era, reflecting a very different campus environment for female students and athletes when I was in school — and start anew. The first thing to go should be the the noxious proportionality provision that is being used primarily as a bludgeon.
It's also time for Title IX activists to make their peace with football, their convenient bête noire. Believe or not, their football antagonists have made some concessions over the years, such as reductions in scholarships. Some more cuts at the FBS level may be in order, and not just a loss in players. Do BCS schools really need all those assistants, and especially "quality control" coaches?
While football at the very top levels is going to get richer and more powerful with coming conference realignment, those wishing to take a hatchet to it need to be mindful that this is the funding source for most of the best women's hoops teams in the land, and that also lose tons of money.
The NCAA needs to be more of an impartial entity on gender equity, instead of being part of the Title IX establishment. While the late NCAA president Myles Brand was indeed a champion of women's athletics and should be commended for that, he also left athletics directors trying to balance Title IX and financial pressures to twist in the wind.
Brands' successor, the newly appointed Mark Emmert, ought to do something like this: Call a gender equity summit inviting the Title IX advocacy and those wishing to reform the law, and demand that both sides bring to the table concrete, substantial recommendations for what they would give up in order to reach some kind of consensus. Along with input from athletics directors, coaches and athletes at member institutions, this could form the basis for taking to Washington an NCAA proposal to rework Title IX for the future.
Of course, all this would require learning the art of compromise, and the history of Title IX skirmishes indicates that nobody's going to back down. What was I thinking? Smoking?
Yet the challenges facing women and sports now, and in the decades to come, will have very little to do with Title IX. The growth of women's sports around the world — where Title IX does not apply — is increasing as greater legal and cultural freedoms for women are granted in countries that have long denied them. FIBA, the world basketball governing body, and FIFA, its soccer counterpart, are expanding youth world championships for girls, trying to encourage development of female sports in corners of the globe that have not been hospitable to that idea.
Here in America, ensuring the viability of women's professional sports, and improving the grassroots development of young female athletes, should be of greater concern than whether State U should have started a women's water polo team.
The futures of the WNBA, the LPGA and the Women's Professional Soccer league are not guaranteed, and Title IX is powerless to save them. The ability of young girls to receive high-level training and competition before high school and college largely depends on a combination of volunteer parents and dedicated youth coaches in accelerated club programs that also fall outside the reach of Title IX.
Activists like to pay lip service to "Title IX babies" now in the pro basketball ranks, but they also have to go overseas to make some real money as the 13-year-old WNBA has been reduced to 12 teams and is struggling to create a presence in some of its existing markets.
The Title IX activists can't be bothered with the cold realities of the business world that isn't under any government mandate to even have a women's pro hoops league.
At the same time, the Women's Sports Foundation and similar organizations still expend far too many of their emotional energies and resources to sue the likes of Quinnipiac College — and get in a huff over whether cheerleading can be declared a sport.
This week, former WSF and Texas women's athletics boss Donna Lopiano testified on behalf of the Quinnipiac plaintiffs. Naturally, she disdained the idea of cheerleading being counted as a varsity sport, although Maryland AD Deborah Yow — certainly no knuckle-dragger — has done exactly that to help with Title IX compliance at her school.
Moving beyond Title IX is obviously far outside the bounds of a coterie of women (and a few good men) who've become so enamored with political activism and pushing the levers of government bureaucracy and the federal judiciary that only the lawyers, to borrow a cliché, are getting enriched.
But moving beyond Title IX — or more specifically, the warped methods by which activists are demanding it be implemented — is absolutely necessary for women's sports to grow and thrive.
Update: It seems like I've angered more than a few folks about what I wrote above, which is no surprise. Also not surprising is that they've chosen to repeat ideological talking points among themselves rather than respond directly here. Of course, there's no way to comment on either of their blogs; commenting is disabled. They don't want a dialogue with those who have a different point of view, accusing them instead of not being in possession of the facts.
The push for proportionality I referred to was not about the original regulatory implementation, as Erin Buzuvis at the Title IX blog contends, but by Bill Clinton's civil rights officer in the Department of Education in 1996. Norma Cantù declared proportionality the only "safe harbor" for schools to comply with Title IX, which thrilled women's sports activists. But athletics directors and university presidents rightly translated that to mean: Get the numbers right, or risk getting sued.
The compliance game changed irrevocably with Cantù's clarification, and the Brown case unfolding around the same time. Title IX activists will never admit they don't trust the other two tests, as they are written very nebulously, while proportionality is just the opposite. Those vast discrepancies alone are reason enough to revise the regulations.
Buzuvis finally states that anyone who cites the age of Title IX wants to repeal the law. That is patently false, she knows it, but she and her advocates carry on with such rhetoric. A hell of a lot of great things have happened for women in education and athletics in the past four decades, and it's time that the law reflects where they are now, not in 1972. The activists are in a time warp, desperate to paint the plight of women in sports as a still-bleak one that requires their perpetual "mythbusting" efforts. As well as their perpetual indignance.
As for Helen at the Women's Hoops Blog, well, bullet-spittin' outrage is her stock-in-trade.

This question has been asked before and already has an answer. If those answers do not fully address your question, please ask a new question.
The common way to pluralize acronyms is to add a lowercase S, so it would be SMSs. But SMS (short message service) is not usually used like that. SMS is the service you use to send text messages. SMS can also be used to talk about a feature-set ("It's got unlimited SMS."), or a technology ("This tablet supports SMS."). Both text (sometimes abbreviated txt) and text message are used.
If you're talking, it depends on how you pronounce the abbreviation. If, as I imagine, it's /ɛsɛmɛs/ -- just the names of the the letters strung together -- the plural will be pronounced /ɛsɛmɛsəz/. Everything hinges on the last sound. But if you speak English, you already know this.
If you're writing, however, you're on your own on how to spell it. English spelling is not ready for things like this, as everybody who texts knows already. And it probably never will be.
"SMS" refers to the technology or means of sending the messages, not the messages themselves. A plural of SMS would mean more than one technology or means of sending messages. You want "SMS messages" or simply "texts".

November is national lung cancer month and smoking awareness month. Just in case heart disease, peripheral vascular disease, emphysema, and lung and head and neck cancers were not good enough reasons to quit smoking, the US Surgeon General's office added five more cancers to the risk of diseases caused by cigarettes. The 2004 report follows the first Surgeon General report on smoking and health published forty years ago. These reports document evidence that cigarettes can in fact cause heart disease, lung diseases, and cancer. The new report estimates that there are 440,000 smoking related deaths in the US per year. Furthermore, male smokers shorten their life expectancy by 14.5 years and women smokers by 13.2 years.
Take Home Messages
The three main points that the report tries to get across are:
- Cigarettes ruin good health and are responsible for many diseases including cancer.
- Cigarettes can harm almost every organ system in the body cardiac, pulmonary, vascular, genitourinary, gastrointestinal, endocrine, and hematologic, just to name a few.
- Quitting smoking has both immediate and long-term benefits to all organ systems.
The report also notes that smoking cigarettes with lower percentage of nicotine as advertised by some companies, has no protective effect on the body and has no proven benefit to health.
How Bad is Bad?
In this report, the Surgeon General has indicated how strong the evidence is to support these accusations. There are four categories in which all diseases will fall into. These include:
- Sufficient to infer a causal relationship
- Suggestive but not sufficient to infer a causal relationship
- Inadequate to infer either a causal or an absence of a relationship
- Suggestive of no causal relationship
In addition to the well known lung cancer, laryngeal, pharyngeal, esophageal and oral cavity cancers that are caused by cigarette smoking, the five new additions include: kidney cancer, cervical cancer, gastric cancer, pancreatic cancer, and acute myeloid leukemia. The diseases that fall into the second category of suggestive but not sufficient evidence include colorectal and liver (hepatic) cancer. The Surgeon General deemed ovarian cancer as one for which there is not enough data to prove or disprove a causal relationship.
The Good News
The report also noted changes in American smoking habits and general attitudes toward cigarettes since the publication of the first report forty years ago. In 1963 American consumption of cigarettes peaked at 4,345 per capita adult. In 2002 the annual per capita adult consumption dropped to 1,979. The latest poles note that there are now more former smokers in the US than current smokers. Furthermore, there is a greater recognition of the dangers of smoking and as a consequence a greater intolerance to it. Still, more needs to be done, since one in four of high school seniors are current smokers.

Is it possible to authenticate the user on server side using auth token retrieved by Android applicaton from Facebook? In other words Android application uses SSO and obtain auth token. Then sends this token to backend application deployed on Google App Engine. Then backend application verifies the user against Facebook using the token.
I guess it's not feasible because retrieved token can be used only by Android application, but who knows? Maybe it may be reused somehow?

WINTERSVILLE - The Indian Creek football team held its annual awards banquet Nov. 25 at St. Florian Hall to celebrate the Redskins accomplishments during the 2012 season.
Sponsored by the boosters, awards were presented to individual players along with honoring the team's, and in particular the seniors', outstanding season.
"The boosters do a great job for us with the banquet," said Indian Creek head football coach Andrew Connor. "They give out game awards and they do really great job with the entire event. We show a video of season highlights and then a video of the seniors.
"For our seniors we show baby pics, pics with their family, and they share their career goals and what they are going to miss most about Indian Creek."
The 2012 season was a historic one for the Redskins as they finished with nine victories - which tied a school record - and set a school record with a second consecutive playoff appearance.
"You go back and start off the year in January and think about the amount of adversity we faced," said Connor. "It started off with the car accident.
"We found out about how hard they work. We talk about our program being a family and I thought they were a family as the year went on.
They did everything together. I think they really showed their true character overcoming the real life challenges they had to face."
Connor also deflected praise for his team's success to his assistant coaches.
"I appreciated the most dedicated staff a head coach could ask for," he said.
The team, which won the OVAC Class 5A title and finished second in the Buckeye 8, was led by a group of 18 seniors. Connor looks at those young men - Monty McClelland, Alex Young, Frankie Kamarec, Tyler Sharpe, Ricky Hinerman, Matt Furda, Alex LaRue, Darren Gribble, Logan Woods, Merik Ludewig, Montel McClelland, Jake Mamula, Levi Flesher, Bobby Lenko, Ken Horvath, Shane Winland, Devin Cook, Drew Sullivan - as a group that not only led his football team, but also brought the community closer together with their performance football field.
"The biggest thing about this year is the seniors have led us to two straight playoff berths. You could see how everyone was excited from the kids, to the school, to the community. You could see how everyone pulled together.
"See a lot more red and gold in the community today. That's a credit to our senior class."
Awards were presented to the offensive and defensive players of the game for each match up from this season.
Young, the Redskins' quarterback, was presented with the Joe Fortunato award for the player who received the most player of the game awards throughout the season. Young also earned the Dr. Butterfield award as the Redskins' MVP from the Edison game as voted on by the Wildcats' players and was honored for reaching the 1,000 yards passing plateau.
"I think Alex ended up being a great leader for us," said Connor. "More importantly he was an unselfish leader. He did whatever we needed to do to help us win."
Montel McClelland honored as Indian Creek's all-time career sacks leader with 22 over his time in red and gold.
"Basically we asked him to be our wide side end and he plays relentless football," said Connor. "Not only did he have 22 sacks, but this year alone he had 24 hurries. He helped make our defense special over the past couple seasons."

IETF 87 NFSv4 Working Group meeting report by Chuck Lever
By Jamesmorris-Oracle on Sep 02, 2013
This is a contributed post from Chuck Lever, who heads up NFS development for the mainline Linux kernel team.
Executive summary:
The 87th meeting of the IETF was held July 28 - August 2 in Berlin, Germany.
I was in Berlin for the week to attend the NFSv4 Working Group meeting and hold informal discussions related to NFS standardization with other attendees. The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) produces high quality technical documents that influence the way people design, use and manage the Internet. Essentially, this is the body that regulates the protocols computers use to communicate on the Internet, for the purpose of improving interoperability.
An IETF meeting is held every four months in venues around the world. Sponsorship for each event varies. DENIC, the central registry for domain names under .de, was the primary sponsor for this event. Participation is open to anyone, but a registration fee is required to attend.
NFS version 4 is the IETF standard for file sharing. The charter of the Working Group is to maintain NFS specifications and introduce new NFS features through NFSv4 minor versions. More on the Working Group charter can be found here: http://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/nfsv4/charter/
I attend each NFSv4 Working Group meeting to represent Oracle's interest in various current and new NFS-related features, including pNFS, NFSv4.2, and FedFS. I'm the editor of two of the IETF FedFS protocol specifications, and a co-author of an Internet-Draft that addresses protocol issues affecting NFSv4 migration. Other representatives at this meeting include Microsoft, EMC, NetApp, IBM, Oracle, Tonian, and others. Topics include progress updates on Internet-Drafts on their way to become standards, reports on implementation experience, and requests to start new work or restart old work. See: https://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/87/materials.html#nfsv4
Meeting agenda, presentation materials, and minutes are available at this location.
Drill down:
Working Group editor Tom Haynes (NetApp) reported on several areas where progress appears to be stalled. In general we face challenges completing our deliverables because the IETF is a volunteer organization, and the tasks at hand are large. The largest item is RFC 3530bis, which is holding up FedFS and NFSv4.2. RFC 3530bis was rejected during IESG review mainly due to the new chapter that attempts to bridge the gap between existing i18n implementations in NFS, and how we'd like i18n to work.
The problem is nobody has implemented i18n for NFSv4, and the IETF has revised i18n since 3530 was ratified. The consensus was to move the offending section to a separate Internet-Draft where the correct language can be hammered out without holding up RFC 3530bis. NFSv4.2 is held up by a lack of enthusiasm for finishing a new revision of RPCSEC GSS. The GSS I-D has languished without an author or editor for many months, and two items in NFSv4.2 depend on its completion: labeled NFS and server-to-server copy. A rough consensus was not achieved, but Tom and Andy Adamson (NetApp) will investigate options, including removing the parts of server copy and labeled NFS that depend on GSSv3, and report back.
Benny Halevy (Tonian) has submitted a fresh draft proposing "Flexible File Layouts" which is a new pNFS layout type that improves upon the existing pNFS file layout defined in RFC 5661. Motivation for a new layout scheme includes: algorithmic data striping to support load balancing, life-cycle management, and other advanced administrative features; support for using legacy NFS servers as pNFS data servers; and direct pNFS support for existing cluster filesystems such as Ceph and GlusterFS.
Chuck Lever (Oracle) described recent progress to address security concerns in the FedFS documents waiting in the RFC Editor queue. He continued by walking through a group of possible future work items, including more modern LDAP security modes, additional administrative operations, and better mechanisms for clients to choose working fileset locations. Does the working group have the energy to consider a new revision of these documents? Or should we continue to focus on making small changes? This was left unresolved.
Sorin Faibish (EMC) discussed the need for a new layout enabling pNFS clients to access Lustre data servers directly. After a lot of discussion, the issue appears to be that the NFS protocol on high performance transports is not performant enough. The proposed solution was to use LNET over RDMA. It was suggested that it would be more interesting to the Working Group if we focused on fixing the performance issues in our RDMA specifications instead.
Marc Eshel (IBM) wanted to restart the age-old conversation on tightening NFS's data cache coherency. The immediate question is whether POSIX semantics are interesting given today's compute workloads and network environment. Implementing POSIX data coherency among multiple networked systems is still a challenge. Consensus that a callback-based solution, where network traffic is proportional to the level of inter-client sharing, was most appropriate. Such a solution (byte-range delegation) was proposed by Trond Myklebust in 2006. It was recommended to start with that work.
Chuck Lever (Oracle) proposed an experimental extension to NFS that enables NFS client and servers to convey end-to-end data integrity metadata. A new I-D has been submitted that describes the protocol changes. No prototype is available yet; the I-D is meant to coordinate discussion of technical details, and enable interoperable prototype implementations.
David Noveck (EMC) elaborated on the need to allow protocol changes outside of the NFS minor version process. He described the limitations of batching unrelated features together and waiting for a full pass through the IETF review process. There was some interest in allowing innovation outside of the minor version process. The Area Directory and Working Group chair felt that there is currently not enough energy behind work already planned for delivery.
Matt Benjamin (Linux Box) is restarting work on a feature proposed several years ago by Mike Eisler that allows directories to be striped across pNFS data servers, just like file data is today. An Internet-Draft is available, and a prototype is underway.

Quebecers often add something like a second "tu" when asking a question. For example:
T'as tu un crayon ?
I just don't know how to use it, like in what kind of expressions/sentences/questions? or if it depends on the region?
Joubarc is right, you don't actually need to; in fact, many Quebeckers don't use it in formal situations (though I have never met one who does not use it otherwise). Of course, it should never be used in most texts.
If you do wish to use it for any reason, this "tu" actually replaces "est-ce que", but is placed after the conjugated verb. You can use it with other pronouns as well, for example:
Small addition, which, considering Kareen's comment, may be regional: we do actually use the "tu" with "vous"; there are two ways to do so:
Like Joubarc mentioned, there is no need or convention about this way of speaking. I could maybe compare it to some people saying y'all in English.
As far as I know, this construction seems like the amalgamation of the two ways of asking questions in the second person singular:
Put them together and you get "Tu as-tu un crayon?", which, when ellipted, gives us the "T'as-tu" structure. It is used with just about any verb and is usually used when asking questions. It can be used with most pronouns, though it is informal speech, so I've rarely ever used or heard it used with nous or vous, as those are usually a little more formally in Québec. Interestingly enough, when used with pronouns other the second person singular, the second pronoun remains "tu". It usually follows this construction:
1st person singular: J'ai-tu?; J'veux-tu?; J'mange-tu?; etc.
Again, it's a way of speaking in informal situations, and it is absolutely not necessary to employ it. You will be perfectly understood even if you don't use this rather particular structure.
In fact, in questions, the word 'tu' is a phonetic variant of the old French 't'y'. Ex: Tu veux-tu? (Tu veux-t'y?) This was lost in France but is still used everyday in Quebec in non formal conversations.
As a Québécois, I would ask you to not use it. It is nowhere near "le bon usage". It is not taught in school and I hope it disappears as soon as possible.
It is an English-ism and does come from replacing the "Est-ce que"
T`as tu un crayon? (you have your(yourself) a pencil?) Do you have a pencil?
