Raptors go wild to beat Mavericks
DALLAS DeMar DeRozan showed lots of love for former teammate and mentor Jose Calderon before Toronto played in Dallas.
Then the pupil one-upped his old teacher in the game.
DeRozan scored 15 points, including the go-ahead basket on a wild shot while getting fouled in overtime Friday night, and the Raptors overcame a season high in points from Calderon to beat the Mavericks, 109-108.
Toronto trailed, 108-107 after a 3-pointer by Calderon when DeRozan's pump-fake got Brandan Wright and Shawn Marion in the air. DeRozan threw up a shot as he was bumped, and it went in for the final points with 1:11 remaining.
Kyle Lowry led six players in double figures with 20 points for the Raptors, who lost to Charlotte in overtime Wednesday were 0-3 in overtime this season.
"We understand what not to do from the previous one," said DeRozan, who led the Raptors with nine assists.
Calderon led Dallas with 23 points, including 11 to go with three of his nine assists in the fourth quarter, and was 7 of 10 from long range.
"That's just Jose, man," DeRozan said. "Jose seems like every time the ball leaves his hand the ball's going in."
But not on the possession after DeRozan's go-ahead basket.
Down by a point, the Mavericks missed three times in one trip in the final minute when Dirk Nowitzki misfired from 3-point range and Calderon was off target after the rebound bounced back to him beyond the arc.
With a chance to reset, the Mavericks got the ball to Nowitzki again, but he missed a fadeaway jumper from the baseline. Nowitzki scored 22 but missed his last six shots to finish 10 of 22 from the field.
"You know it's going to be one shot, one stop, and I think we did the right things," said Calderon, who spent most of his first eight years in Toronto before a midseason trade to Detroit in January. "But we couldn't make the last shot."
DeRozan missed the free throw after his circus shot, but the Mavericks were off target on their last four, including a runner in the final seconds by Monta Ellis, who had 21 points and a season-high 11 assists.

text: Who Is Top Gear's New Host Rory Reid?Máté Petrány2/11/16 9:48amFiled to: Top GearRory Reid10823EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalinkRory Reid is one of Top Gear's six new presenters (or seven if The Stig counts), and he's probably the one you've never heard of. Fear not, here's all you need to know. According to the Telegraph, Reid got the gig by sending a 30 second audition tape to the BBC, which managed to blew away Chris Evans. We would love to see that clip. But here's a clue.The 36-year-old is the former Editor-in-Chief of the car and gadget site Recombu who also used to host Sky1's show Gadget Geeks and do some talking on BBC Radio 5 Live. Advertisement Advertisement Not unlike his new collegue Chris Harris, Reid built up quite an audience on YouTube reviewing cars in various entertaining ways. On Rebombu Cars, he became a rapper for the Rolls-Royce Ghost, which makes perfect sense.He also gave me a great opportunity to show you the Fiat Panda Cross, off roading of course.It looks like he will also be just as good at doing challenges and smashing up old Vauxhalls as Clarkson, Hammond and May were, because on the highly popular Fast, Furious & Funny channel, he always had a crane at hand...So, Evans: the chief. LeBlanc: the good guy. Harris: the hot shoe. Schmitz: the hotter shoe. Jordan: the Irishman. Reid? The funny guy.

This review is from: AOC 52 Series e2752She Glossy Black 27" 2ms (GTG) HDMI Widescreen LED Backlight Slim Monitor 300 cd/m2 DCR 20,000,000:1
Pros: bright consistent colors across display
LED backlight allows for very neutral greys and 'white whites'
No dead/stuck pixels
Very even backlighting
1 VGA and 2 HDMI inputs
Works just fine at non-native resolutions as found in BIOS, or setting at 720p for gaming on budget GPUs
Cons: Pixels are ridiculously large and bulky (see 'other thoughts')
Cheap parts make for lots of noise in the image. The VGA is so bad that I had to hunt down a HDMI cable, and even the HDMI has a fair amount of noise (but passable).
Text and static images look rough and boxy with no amount of ClearType or AA that can really smooth the picture out. Certain color patterns, or putting text over some grey backgrounds produce illegible results and strange colors.
Color range and contrast is very limited (though greyscale is surprisingly good... not sure how that happens)
Color accuracy does not exist and is all over the map, decent OSD controls help reign it in, but it is never going to be 'good'
Chroma is just bad.
Other Thoughts: I bought this as a stop-gap replacement for my wife's 27" monitor that died recently. The old display was a 27" 1920x1200 16:10 display. The main thing it suffered from was a bad backlight setup which caused extremely limited contrast, poor black levels, backlight bleeding that got much worse over time, and the white and greys were always a little on the warm/yellow side.
This new display does not suffer from any of those issues. It has a far superior backlight which gives good black level (for a monitor), no bleed, nice even lighting, and very neutral grey scale with white whites.
Sadly, the panel and processing end of this display are trash. While the old display had issues with things like dark movies, every other use-case was passable and usable.
The big issue is with text. A computer is often used for games and videos which this monitor does an OK job at, but even the most avid gamer spends a ton of time looking at text, and that is where this display falls apart.
The pixels are large and poorly defined. Part of this is the nature of such a large display, but our older display had only a slightly higher ppi (83.86 vs 81.59) but the pixels were well defined and things like text and static images were clear and not too blocky. Text over a white background is rough but passable, but when you put text over a grey background, or a color picture, it can quickly become illegible. It is almost like the pixels around the text bleed into it, producing deformations in the shape, or even producing rainbow-like boarders between black text/lines and color images.
The other big issue is noise on the processing end. As stated above, the VGA has a fair amount of noise. Still usable, but not something you want to look at all day. Moving to HDMI cleaned up most of it (no more interference patterns crawling up the screen), but there is still that speckled analog looking noise in the screen that I am not accustomed to on a digital input.
Lastly, static images look horrible. Lots of stair-stepping between colors. I mean, it is bound to happen on any low ppi display; but again our old display was not that different but cleartype and AA were enough to make it a non-issue, where there is no compensating for it here.
At the end of the day I could not recommend this to anyone. This is a junk TV mascaraing as a computer monitor with all of the normal issues that can be expected with such a setup. Thankfully it has an OSD with a lot of controls to vastly improve the stock settings... but even after calibration and running ClearType it is just bad for desktop computer use. I would highly suggest buying a smaller but better quality 1080p display, or else spending a little more money for even a cheap 1440p display at this size which is simply going to have less of these issues.
When we do replace this I will use it on my test bench to troubleshoot PCs and watch TV, but we will not use this as a main display any longer than needed.
This review is from: Seagate Desktop HDD ST3000DM001 3TB 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive
Pros: 1) Big... but I still wish they were bigger (See other thoughts #4)
2) Fast... I have 2 of these in RAID1 for storage and backups, and 2 SSDs in RAID0 for system drive. Transferring files between them I am getting a consistent sequential read/write speed up near 250+MB/s. When I had a bare drive I was getting 220MB/s, so if you RAID1 them with an actual RAID controller rather than the Intel RAID that I am using you ought to be able to hit reads up near 400MB/s and writes at ~200MB/s. Considering the RAID1 it replaced only ever got 80MB/s on a good day before they started having issues I am blown away!
3) Quiet... And I am a stickler for sound. I have nice 800RPM 140mm case fans and I cannot hear the HDDs above them with the exception of some light read/write head noise which is no big deal. I have bought a ton of drives over the years, but over the last 5 years they have been drives for other people, and as I did not live with them I did not appreciate just how nice and quiet they have gotten the last few years.
4) Cool... Not that it matters that much, but these drives run just barely warm to the touch. Being in RAID I cannot get an actual temp, but these are by far some of the coolest mechanical drives I have ever owned.
Cons: 1) Not a big deal, but you only get 2.7TB of space out of these. Completely understandable when you are converting between Mib to MB, but that is 300GB I wish I had.
2) 1 came DOA. These drives (like most large drives) suffer from a fairly high failure rate. I always borrow PC Check from work to give new drives a good workout to ensure they are working properly. One passed with flying colors, while the other had the click of death. It was half expected which is why I ordered them when I did (well ahead of a major project), but the RMA process from the place I purchased these drives (not Newegg) took nearly 2.5 months! I guess that's what I get for trying to save a buck...
3) Warranty... When I purchased them there was only a 2 year warranty. I understand that there is now a 3 year warranty, but that is still disconcertingly low. I miss the days a few years ago when 5-7 year warranties were the norm. For what I do it is not worth paying the extra $$ for the longer warranty, but at the same time I don't want to go too long out of warranty, so I will have to replace these drives near the 3-4 year mark which is sooner than I would like, but it hopefully will not be a big deal.
Other Thoughts: Food For Thought:
1) You need to format large drives like this in GPT (google it, easy process). GPT does not support OS installs, and requires a UEFI style BIOS in order to work, so if you are on an older system, or are looking for an over-sized system drive, then do yourself a favor stick with 2TB drives, anything bigger is for storage only.
2) Large drives have a major issue; what on earth do you back them up with? If you have enough files to require this much space, then most likely it is fairly important stuff that would hurt pretty badly to loose. The only real way to do it is to have 2+ large drives, either one as an external backup, or multiple internal drives as a RAID1 or 5 array. Thankfully all major Intel boards, and just about every AMD board has decent software RAID now, so it is not hard to find like it was a few years ago, but enabling RAID can cause issues with your system drive, so plan accordingly!
3) Move to new drives BEFORE you need to. I moved up to these drives from a RAID1 of 1st gen 1TB drives. One of them failed right after the 5 year mark, so I have been running off of one drive for a loooong time now (scary!). I would have upgraded sooner, but.. well... house, cars, babies, life, and other more urgent things kept taking my money every time I scrapped together enough money to pull the trigger on new drives. By the time I finally got around to replacing the drives the remaining functional one was having issues of it's own. So I ended up with a trudgingly slow file transfer of 5-10MB/s. 800GB of data at an average of 7MB/s literally does take DAYS! Plus it was having stability issues when doing long file transfers, so I had to sit and watch it so that I could pick up where it left off before the system would reset. Very annoying process that ate most of my free time for the better part of a week! Thankfully, everything seems to have transferred just fine, and my old (very) dead drives are all ready to be destroyed. Point is, if you can help it, get your information off of your drives at the first sign of trouble and you will save a few headaches!
4) After organizing and removing redundant files (or at least most of them) I got down to 600GB of data (mostly old projects). Then I backed up my system and enabled file history in win8, and that ate another 600GB. Then I did my wife's backup and enabled her file history settings which ate yet another 400GB. So here I bought what I thought was a HUGE amount of space, only to find that it is already more than 1/2 full, and I have not even started ripping my movie collection to it yet! When all is said and done I will probably buy a pair of 2TB drives strictly for system backups (2TB drives are more reliable anyways), which will free up a huge portion of the big drives for documents. Just keep in mind that file backups are nice to have... but they come at a HUGE space expense. Totally worth it, but I had no idea it would eat that much space.
Hope that helps
This review is from: OCZ Agility 3 2.5" 240GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) AGT3-25SAT3-240G
Pros: Still kicking strong!
Still getting consistent performance
Firmware update got a little more consistent speed out of the drives
Work fine in RAID if you have the right chipset (see 'other thoughts')
Cons: I am ruined on HDDs. I cannot stand them anymore. Using my PC at work with a HDD is simply painful. The HDDs in my home system seem really loud now that I have nearly silent fans, and I cannot wait for mainstream 2TB SSDs to become available (and affordable), though it may be a while.
No Intel RAID 1 or 5 support for TRIM, and no RAID0 support on z68 or older systems. Not a problem with this drive, but still a major concern, and my next SSDs I will look for drives that are not so dependent on TRIM to work properly.
The premium you use to have to pay for faster drives is not nearly as high, making the Agility series much slower but only slightly cheaper than it's bigger faster brothers. That is the only reason for the 1 egg drop.
Other Thoughts: Some notes on RAID:
So over the summer I ended up getting a 2nd Agility 3, and so I put it in RAID0 just to see how quick it would run. And boy-oh-boy is it FAST!
HDTune: Read
1GB/s max
575MB/s average
350MB/s min
It is fast enough where I can push my big 4.2GHz i7 to 100% load when doing work with ease, which is exactly where the bottleneck should be!
That being said, it has not all been sunshine and lollipops with RAID and SSDs. People like me with a slightly older high end system running on a z68 chipset and using the onboard RAID controller need to be aware that TRIM commands are not passed through to the SSDs. TRIM is important to maintaining the drive, and if TRIM is not active then speed will degrade over time by a rather large margin, and wear leveling will not be done properly which will shorten the life of your drive! It is perfectly fine to run an SSD via RAID as a single drive, but when you add it to an array then you will experience problems within a month or two.
The solution? Move up to a z77 based motherboard. z77 based RAID controllers will allow TRIM commands to pass through on RAID0 (not RAID1 or 5), which fixes the slowdown that sandforce drives are hit with when trim is not utilized properly.
So in short, to add 1 feature, I had to pay $140 extra for a new motherboard. Thankfully I was able to sell my old board to subsidize the cost, and the new mobo does have some neat extra features that I also wanted. But that is a high price to pay for the sake of a single feature, so if you are on a last gen platform it would probably be best to get a single larger drive rather than dealing with RIAD to get your storage needs.
Lastly, just for fun, I found some old failed Raptor HDDs, and put my SSDs inside of their enclosures. It makes them look really awesome, and now they just run 2*c over the ambient temp of the room. By far the best 2.5->3.5 converter I have ever seen!

A Multilevel Analysis of Child Care and the Transition to Motherhood in Western Germany
In this paper, we take a multilevel perspective to investigate the role of child care in the transition to motherhood in Germany. We argue that in the European institutional context the availability of public day care and informal child care arrangements should be a central element of the local opportunity structure regarding the compatibility of childrearing and women's employment. Using data from the German Socio-Economic Panel, we apply a multilevel discrete time logit model to estimate first birth risks of western German women. While we find that access to informal care arrangements increases the probability of entering parenthood, we do not find any statistically significant effect of the public day care provision. This result probably points to shortcomings in the specific institutional set-up of the German daycare regime, and to the existence of potentially relevant unobserved dimensions of child care.

The Franconian Red Wine Trail links vineyards in the Churfranken region and is ideal for a wine-tasting tour. Follow the 'red wine glass' signs from Grosswallstadt to the Centgrafenberg vineyard in Bürgstadt.
Tip: Churfrankensteig
The Churfrankensteig takes in two climbs: a horizontal climb has been created at an old quarry; and if you access the trail from the Klingenberg side you'll find a vertical climb. Only for experienced and sure-footed climbers with their own equipment and a good head for heights .

First Look
Before WWII, the "Batory" and the "Pilsudski" were the first modern passenger ships under the Polish flag. As a result of an invitation for entries into a competition, there were 6 offers from ship building firms to build a passenger ship for Poland. Finally, on the 29th of November, 1933, the shipyard in Monfalcone undersigned with Poland a contract for the delivery of two motorships. The agreed price of 25 million Zlotys later increased to 37 million.
On the 19th of December, 1934, "Pilsudski" was launched first. During it's first voyage to New York, numerous defects were discovered. These were rectified with the "Batory", notably in structure reinforcement and stability.
The shipbuilding of "Batory" started on January 5th, 1934. The ship's launching was celebrated on the 3rd of July, 1935. The first voyage of the "Batory" was the trip around European waterways, called "The Seaway of the South". This voyage ended in Gdynia on May 11th, 1936. Then, "Batory" began regular trips on the route: Gdynia – Copenhagen – Halifax – New York.
The ship suffered repeated explosive fires. The most dangerous one was a fire in the engine room on June 3rd, 1937. The fire was extinguished by the ship's crew and the "Batory" finally reached New York, where repairs to it took 3 weeks.
When WWII began, the "Batory" was in New York. At the end of September 1939, until December 1939, she was in Halifax. During the war, "Batory" was chartered by the British War Transportation Administration to transport soldiers to Great Britain, Norway and France. She also transported Polish national treasures, British gold and English children to Australia for safe-keeping.
M/S Batory was called "Lucky Ship", because of her safe passages during the war. Her first captain was Zygmunt Deyczykowski, who piloted her safely. After the war, "Batory" navigated under the British flag from June, 1945 until April 1945, but with a Polish crew.
After this, she was under the flag of GAL and the ship came back to voyages to North America. However, for some reason not disclosed then, "Batory" was prohibited in 1951 of landing in New York. Up until 1969, "Batory" changed, many times, the destinations of it's voyages. During February of 1969, in London, there was a celebration that commemorated "The Voyage of the Children" during WWII. During 1969 to 1971 "Batory" was moored in Gdynia as a floating hotel-restaurant, were she was sold to Hong Kong on June 2nd, 1971. The Polish flag was removed from her for the last time.
The kit is manufactured in Lodz, Poland. It comes in a sturdy tray and lid type box. The date "2001" appears on the lid, but I'm not all that sure that was it's original issue date.
Inside the box are two large chalk white trees of parts, the decal sheet and the instructions. Both trees are in a single cello bag.
The instructions consist of a large single sheet that is folded in the center to create four pages.
The first page gives the history of the "Batory" in Polish and English. This is followed by blow by blow written instructions on how to proceed to build the kit and what to paint parts as you proceed through the assembly steps.
Pages 2 through 4 give 3 exploded assembly drawings. There are no parts tree drawings or part numbers molded on the parts trees. This means extra work trying to identify parts from the exploded assembly drawings. This may become tedious for sure.
There is also no illustration of the ship in it's final color scheme in the instruction sheet.. However, the boxart does have a poor illustration, in black and white, that can be used, and another side profile on a side panel, that shows the smoke funnels in yellow and the hull, below the waterline, in gray. Following the paint instructions of individual parts, found on the first page (as text) will take care of the deck color (mentioned as STRAW) and other colors needed.
The first big tree holds: the two hull halves, fore and aft deck parts, life boats, anchors, davits, railings, masts, flag staffs, propellers etc. (128 parts)
The second big tree holds: the central deck piece, the model's support cradle parts, the smoke funnels, bridge house parts etc. (17 parts)
The decal sheet has the "Batory" name for the bow and stern, ship line insignia for around the smoke funnels, and a couple of flags.
The kit is recommended for modelers over the age of 10. Because of the need to identify parts from assembly drawings only, I would recommend this kit only to modelers who have a few other ship models under their belts.
The molding of the kit is quite good. Only some rigging will have to be added, using the profile painting on the side panel of the box. Super detailers, amongst us, will probably opt for some PE railings etc. I found no flash on the parts and mold push-out marks are mostly hidden on things.

RAVEN: An eShort StoryAuthor: Amanda Lee
Publisher: Vicious Ink Publishing
Amazon | Goodreads | Nook
At thirteen, Raven Bain, who many thought was racist against his own people, became angry with revenge after he watched his mother take her last breath hanging from a tree. The crime was theft. She had stolen food to feed her children. It enraged him because the Mayor was involved.
The Mayor of Kosciusko, Mississippi was an African American man that hated anyone who didn't play by the rules. Therefore, he took the law in his own hands whenever he felt he could get away with it. Everyone feared Mayor Austin and the repercussions he enlisted, and because of that, crime was low, until Raven decided it was time for them all to pay for their sin of killing his mother.
Raven's mind was gone, and the crimes he committed were extremely violent. The lasting memory of his mother with a noose wrapped around her neck, fueled his desire to kill. No one was safe from Raven!
"Raven: an e-short story" by author Amanda Lee is filled with rage and hatred. Revenge can consume you if it's given a chance and the titular character rams himself head first into the gullet of revenge. Raven gives in to revenge. It consume and changes him into a living monster.

Thomas Graziano
Thomas D. Graziano, August 4, 1958 – March 6, 2001
Tom began his Uechi study in 1970, at the dojo of the late Forrest Sanborn and Carmine DiRamio, in Quincy, MA, where he taught the children's class from 1977 until Forrest's passing in 1984. Tom then formally became a student of Walter Mattson in Framingham, MA, where he achieved Yondan in 1987. His considerable size and strength coupled with his humility and gentleness, brought out the best in Tom's training partners. Tom left us all too soon as a result of kidney disease since age 18. He is sorely missed and fondly remembered by his Uechi family.

Dr. Merton Cochran
Dr. Merton Cochran, discharged honorably from the Marine Corps, serving from 1955-1959. Continuing his education, he graduated in 1973 from the University of Oregon receiving his Ph.D. in clinical psychology. Merton did extensive work with patients suffering from post traumatic stress disorder. He also was a coordinator for the employees assistance program at the Sheridan Wyoming Veterans Administration Hospital. During this time he was the Chief of Psychology Services.
In retirement, at age 59, he began his study of Uechi Ryu Karate Do under Renshi Rokodan, Peggy Hess in Jensen Beach Florida.
His training and study became an important aspect of his life. Mert's interest in the martial arts developed later in life, therefore some things didn't come easily. This lack in natural ability was overcome by his strong will, perseverance, dedication and hard work.
A devoted Uechi Ryu practitioner, he was proud to achieve the rank of Shodan on December 4, 1999 under the watchful eye of Kyoshi Hachidan Jack Summers.
His passing was sudden and unexpected. He is survived by his wife Diane and three children.
He will sadly missed by his family, friends and dojo mates, but his spirit will surely live on.

Our mentor Ahti Kaend left us on August 7, 2001. He will live on in our hearts and in our practice. He was a great kareteka, and he earned respect worldwide from all that took the time to listen to him and understand him. His practice was as meticulous and as sharp as he kept his dojo and everything else in his life, and he demanded that same level of excellence from those that trained with him.

David Ryan
Tribute to David Ryan, by Laird Elliott:
Sensei Mattson, I clicked on the link to the memorial site tonight and was shocked to see that David Ryan had died. I went to high school with David in Greenwood N.S. and we played lacrosse together. After high school we lost touch for 3 or 4 years. When I joined Jim Maloney's Dojo I discovered he was one of the teachers. He was a nidan then. When I left Halifax we lost touch again.
I have often considered asking on the forums if anyone knew of his where- abouts. He was an exceptional guy!
He was way too young to die. His entire life he was extremely fit, even in junior high. (he was a competitive swimmer back then)
He was a great instructor, and committed to Uechi. I once trained 5 nights a week for seven months straight. He never missed a night, he taught a class and took a class every night. It was a long streak for me but just the norm for David!
I use to love to watch him spar, he was so relaxed, circling looking for an opening. Striking and resuming his circle in the blink of an eye. He had an exceptional feel for distance. In and out make you pay, good hand speed!
Davie Ryan was always a warrior. Though those of us who played lacrosse with him didn't realize it. We started playing lacrosse at 14/15. The next year most teams folded so our team ended up playing junior league, and the next year senior men's league.
One game we played against a team that had two guys we all referred to as the "gorilla brothers" These guys were semi pro hockey goons. This was in the late sixties very early seventies when goon hockey was big. These guys were just trying to stay in shape over the summer, improve their fighting skills and hopefully crack the ranks of the NHL. The "gorilla brothers " ran about 6′ 2″ and 215/220 lbs. They were men. We were kids. "Little Davie" ran about 5′ 7″ and 140 lbs. when he was 16.
Well it happened right in front of our bench, David and one of the Gorilla brothers started throwing punches. We started climbing over the boards to help him out. The coach pulled me back onto the bench screaming sit down he's winning! We all stopped and took a look, sure enough David was peppering the gorilla with punches. The gorilla was bleeding. David continued his attack. The big ape never landed a punch. Bloodied and frustrated he covered his head with his arms and ran to the penalty box. The ref didn't even have to break it up.
It was the first time we saw Davie fight. In five years the only time! He was a gentle person.
I had hoped that one day we might again meet at summer camp. I guess I took to long to come back to Uechi.
Thought you might enjoy a story of his youth. He's been gone a long time while, but for me he just left tonight.
thanks for listening George!
With respect and sorrow

"Women and Dan Testing", by Anne Sevin
". . .'Karate spirit' is in some ways the opposite of traits that are usually considered 'feminine' by our society. It is especially important for women to show good spirit both in their kata and when working with a partner so that they can overcome this cultural stereotype. . .
". . .Even if you do not actually teach, you are a role model. And as a woman you are a role model for the female students below you. It is up to you to show the other women in your dojo that women can work out hard and be strong and develop good karate spirit."

Tomas Lacayo, Jr.
In September 1991, Tommy was not quite 7 years old , weighing 49lbs, he stood 3'7″ when he began his study and training under Peggy Hess, in Jensen Beach, Florida.
He positively touched many lives and was involved in a variety of school and community activities. Tommy was mature, outspoken, popular and strong willed . Possessing an exceptional work ethic, he always gave 100% at everything he did. He was an avid surfer, honor roll student, and lead guitarist in a local band who enjoyed writing, composing and singing love songs.
Generous, soft-spoken and kind, he was known throughout his school and community to be a young man of character who never drank, smoked, did drugs and who was always a champion of the underdog.
A three year cross country and track letterman, he would have been the team captain in his senior year. His plans were to attend University and major in Sports Medicine.
Tommy was very tight with his mom, dad and sister Carrie who all were truly his best friends and a major part of his life.
Under the watchful eyes of Jack Summers, he obtained his Okinawan Shodan certification December 5, 1999, receiving the highest score for the day.
He is fondly remembered and recognized as a true hero and model and is sadly missed by all whose lives he has touched.

Joe Hurley
Memorial to Joe "Buddy" Hurley
Joe "Buddy" Hurley died at home after a brief illness. A lifelong resident of Randolph M
ass Joe passed away on December 16th, 2002 of cancer at the age of 56.
Joe was a devoted husband and father of three small boys who was well liked by everyone who knew him. Active in little league, soccer and karate Joe gave of himself right up until the time he died. From the diversified attendance at Joe's reposing, it can be said that Joe lead a very interesting and colorful life. Joe worked as a professional land surveyor.
Joe, a GoDan, was a member and instructor at the Okinawan Karate Club of Stoughton. Everyone liked and looked forward to his class because of the energy and love for Uechi Ryu that Joe projected. Joe participated in many camps and seminars training under the watchful eye of Okinawan visiting instructors every opportunity he got. Unfortunately he never made it to Okinawa, one of his long time dreams.
Joe also taught the karate program at the YMCA in Easton for many years and evening adult education self defense programs at Stoughton High School. As well as being a skilled martial artist he was a talented artist also. Many of Joe's 'works' can be found hanging in the OKC Stoughton and dojos around New England and Florida. One of Joe's specialties was calligraphy, going so far as to engrave popular Okinawan sayings on slate. Joe will always be remembered for his dedication, honesty and loyalty. He is sadly missed by his immediate and extended Uechi family and all of the students and teachers who knew him.

I like it, Donald. Those big pointed signals are very
distinctive, or are they really beards?
Choosing which ones to keep is
hard. I keep the ones I like best,
line them out, and watch them for a few years. Then they either bloom out, refuse to
grow well, or I get tired of their faults and dig them. If I still love the
survivors of all that, I plan to introduce them.

I liked all six, but this is the one I like the
best. This is just a
portion of what is blooming. Not too bad for
a 3 year old plant. The
camera refuses to pick up the odd, smooth blending
that comprises the color,
but it has no trouble with the effect of the beard
and the underlying color
the beard sits on. Compared to all the other
irises I grow, this one seems
distinctive, particularly because of the
beard. It's an eyecatcher for the
visitors that have seen it. This clump is
what's left after all the high

So how you other folks that grow seedlings decide
about them?

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Earlier Friday, New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick was more effusive than usual in his praise for the team's week of practice, saying it has "been a good week" and the team has "practiced well."
Quarterback Tom Brady, in a rare Friday Q-and-A, was asked for his take on the three days of practice.
"It was perfect. There was not one bad play," Brady said, tongue-in-cheek. "No, there's always mistakes made. You correct them and you try to learn from them. I wish we were perfect, but (we are) not often."
The Patriots wrapped up their week with a frigid practice inside Gillette Stadium on Friday, but Brady stressed that there are still two more days of preparation remaining.
"Every minute. You just keep pushing through. You finish practice today, and you watch film on practice, and see what we need to do better. That goes right through the night," he said.
With the benefit of playing their eighth consecutive home playoff game (minus the Super Bowls, of course), the Patriots won't need to travel to another NFL city, and thus have more time to devote to tying up loose ends on this week's game plan over the next two days.
"Tomorrow morning we have meetings, and that goes right through the afternoon. And tomorrow night we have meetings. And then Sunday mornings we have meetings. And that goes right up until game time," he said. "It doesn't stop. You really can't turn it off at this point.
"I don't think you ever let up or stop thinking about the game. Certainly I don't."

Cagliari President Massimo Cellino insists there is no truth to rumours linking the club with a move for Sampdoria playmaker Antonio Cassano.
The 28-year-old Italy international has been frozen out at Marassi after falling out with Riccardo Garrone who has started proceedings to get his contract rescinded.
Speaking after last night's 3-0 defeat to Bologna in the Coppa Italia, Cellino said: "There is no truth in it.
"I haven't moved from Cagliari this week."
Cassano's agent Beppe Bozzo also dismissed the news as "rubbish."

Another week in the books! There were a slew of injuries on the defensive side of the ball in Week 6, with the highest percentage of big names belonging to one particular organization.
The Ravens lost their inspirational leader and team captain, veteran linebacker Ray Lewis, for the season because of a torn triceps. They also lost star cornerback Lardarius Webb to a torn left ACL. Webb tore his right ACL three years ago but successfully returned the following year and had developed into a premier player at his position. The combined loss of Webb and Lewis is difficult enough, but the Ravens also are dealing with a defensive injury up front. Defensive tackle Haloti Ngata suffered a sprained MCL on Sunday, but the good news is the Ravens expect to have him available in Week 7. He might be limited in terms of mobility, but his presence on the field will be key, considering the other absences the team is facing.
The Detroit Lions also received some disappointing, although not altogether surprising, news. Running back Jahvid Best, who one year ago suffered a concussion that has kept him out since, has not been cleared to return to play. Best's condition has been monitored by a team of experts in conjunction with the Lions' medical staff, and after he underwent a recent spate of tests, the group consensus was that Best is not ready to return. A statement from Lions general manager Martin Mayhew said, "After today's consultation with medical experts, including representatives from our medical and training staffs, it has been determined that Jahvid will not be permitted to return to play at this time."
According to the Detroit Free Press, Best will not consider retirement yet and maintains a desire to return. The Lions are continuing to support Best, which was reflected later on in Mayhew's statement: "Jahvid will continue to work with our medical and training staffs with the hope that he ultimately will be cleared to return to the playing field." Given the length of time that has passed, however, since Best's most recent injury and his failure to progress beyond his current level of activity, it would appear his chances of returning to football are slim.
Naturally, there are other injury situations worth tracking. Here's who we're keeping an eye on heading into Week 7:
Kevin Kolb, Arizona Cardinals (ribs): According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Kolb will be out this week and beyond because of a significant multiple-rib injury, along with a sprained sternoclavicular joint (the same joint Rams receiver Danny Amendola injured). There's no doubt about how painful this injury is. Just breathing is bound to be uncomfortable, and any additional movement makes matters worse. Fortunately for the Cardinals, John Skelton's (ankle) health was improving anyway. He stepped in Sunday after Kolb's injury and looked, well, as if he'd been absent for five weeks. This week Skelton will have the opportunity to get all the practice reps as the team prepares him for a Week 7 start.
Running backs
DeMarco Murray, Dallas Cowboys (foot): According to ESPN's Ed Werder, an MRI confirmed a left foot sprain for Murray, who was injured in the first half of Sunday's game. Murray is currently in a walking boot and on crutches, but Werder reports the Cowboys are saying he did not suffer a Lisfranc injury and will not need surgery. On Tuesday, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones confirmed Murray will miss the team's Week 7 game, as expected, but noted the team was relieved the injury was not more serious.
The team has not specified where in the foot the sprain is or the severity of the injury, other than saying it appears to be nonoperative; that makes it difficult to project with any accuracy just how compromised Murray is. While the news of no immediate need for a procedure is encouraging, it's worth pointing out that last year around this time, fellow running back Darren McFadden suffered what was thought to be a mild foot sprain and ended up missing the remainder of the season. He initially was expected to miss only a week or two, but he never could get to the point of running well on the foot. That's not to say Murray is destined for the same fate, but the point is, foot injuries can be tricky and unpredictable. This is not the same leg Murray injured last season (he suffered a right ankle fracture and high ankle sprain late in 2011, which required surgery and ended his season prematurely).
For now, the team is calling Murray's status week to week, and fantasy owners should plan on a multiple-week absence. Murray, however, is telling teammates he plans to play in Week 8, according to Werder. Let's see him get back on the practice field first before we count on him returning so quickly.
Trent Richardson, Cleveland Browns (rib): Richardson left Sunday's game with what was later determined to be a right-side rib cartilage injury. The running back's status is day to day, according to Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer. This is the type of injury that usually comes down to whether pain inhibits functionality or not. Richardson has a few days to rest it and see how it responds. While he seemed to express little doubt he'd be available, the team likely will take the wait-and-see approach. Fantasy owners might want to add Montario Hardesty to their rosters as insurance.
Wide receivers
Brandon Lloyd, New England Patriots (shoulder): The Patriots haven't said anything specific about Lloyd yet. He appeared to injure his left shoulder while making a diving play late in Sunday's game, but he did return to play. As ESPN Boston's Mike Reiss observed upon completion of the game, "[Lloyd] goes for tests afterward and walks out of the stadium stone-faced." This will be something to keep an eye on throughout the week.
Mario Manningham, San Francisco 49ers (shoulder): Manningham was listed as a limited participant for the team's Monday practice -- which is an estimation since it was only a walk-through -- because of a shoulder issue. No details were offered by the team. The 49ers play Thursday night, so everything on the injury report becomes relevant, but there is no hint as of now that Manningham's game status is in jeopardy.
And a few more players we're keeping an eye on:
Jimmy Graham, TE, New Orleans Saints (ankle): Graham was seen wearing a walking boot after the Week 5 game, then the team headed into a bye. Mike Triplett of the New Orleans Times-Picayune reported Monday that Saints coach Aaron Kromer would have no player updates until Wednesday practice. It's probably a good idea to secure a backup tight end, just in case.
Pierre Garcon, WR, Washington Redskins (foot): The Washington Times reported Garcon is dealing with a sprained capsule (the tissue that surrounds a joint) under his second toe, which is still painful for him when pushing off or trying to run full speed. After watching Garcon try to push through the pain only to have that pain increase, the team has encouraged him to take some time to let it heal. Just how much time that will be is unclear, but it sounds as if it will be at least a couple of weeks.
Hakeem Nicks, WR, New York Giants (knee/foot): Nicks managed to get through Sunday's game without a setback, although he wasn't quite himself. According to ESPN New York, Nicks says he knows the injury will continue to improve. If there are no immediate setbacks, it looks as if he will be available again this week.

A Ray Of Light
I visited upper, and lower Antelope Canyon again this week. It's just as awesome the second time around, and I have the new camera now. What an absolutely AMAZING place!!! The light changes a lot in the different seasons. It even looks completely different in there from one hour to the next, as the lighting slowly changes. I wanted to go back because now it's late enough in the spring, that at midday, the sun can send in lightbeams. What you don't see is the group of photographers, all closing their eyes, and throwing handfulls of sand in the air, so we can see the lightbeam.

In this work, the structural response of circular digestive biscuits, with diameter 72 mm and thickness 7.2 mm, simply supported around the circumference and loaded by a central concentrated force was investigated by experiment and theory. Tests were conducted to quantify the distribution in breakage strength for structurally sound biscuits, biscuits with natural checks and biscuits with a single known part-through crack. For sound biscuits the breakage force is Normally distributed with a mean of 12.5 N and standard deviation of 1.2 N. For biscuits with checks, the corresponding statistics are 9.6 N ± 2.62 N respectively. The presence of a crack weakens the biscuit and strength, as measured by breakage force falls almost linearly with crack length and crack depth. The orientation of the crack, whether radial or tangential, and its location (i.e. position of the crack mid-point on the biscuit surface) are also important. Deep, radial, cracks located close to the biscuit centre can reduce the strength by up to 50%. Two separate failure criteria were examined for sound and cracked biscuits respectively. The results from these tests were in good accord with theory. For a biscuit without defects, breakage occurred when maximum biscuit stress reached or exceeded the failure stress of 420 kPa. For a biscuit with cracks, breakage occurred as above or alternatively when its critical stress intensity factor of 18 kPam0.5 was reached. 2016-10-12T00:00:00Z Educating engineers to embrace complexity and context http://hdl.handle.net/10468/2442 Educating engineers to embrace complexity and context Byrne, Edmond P.; Mullally, Gerard Education represents a key intervention point in encouraging the emergence of a professional engineering ethos informed by a sustainability ethic. In terms of establishing an appropriate relationship between sustainability and education, many would contend that incorporating sustainability as merely add-on material to already overcrowded curricula is insufficient. Instead sustainability should actually be a leading principle for curricula. Traditional reductionist models of engineering education seek to extinguish context and uncertainty and reduce complexity across socio-economic and ecological domains. They therefore constitute a wholly inadequate response to the need for fit-for-purpose, twenty-first century graduates required to address broader sustainability issues. This paper presents research from an undergraduate module at University College Cork, Ireland. The module is aimed at developing students' conceptions of complexity, uncertainty, risk, context and ethics as foundational bases for productively engaging with sustainability. The paper also highlights some problematic issues. 2014-10-01T00:00:00Z Exploring sustainability themes in engineering accreditation and curricula http://hdl.handle.net/10468/2449 Exploring sustainability themes in engineering accreditation and curricula Byrne, Edmond P.; Desha, Cheryl J.; Fitzpatrick, John J.; Hargroves, Karlson Purpose: This paper aims to present key findings from an inquiry into engineering accreditation and curricula renewal. The research attempted to ascertain conceptions of requisite sustainability themes among engineering academics and professionals. The paper also reflects on the potential role of professional engineering institutions (PEIs) in embedding sustainability through their programme accreditation guidelines and wider implications in terms of rapid curricula renewal. Design/methodology/approach: This research comprised an International Engineering Academic Workshop held during the 2010 International Symposium on Engineering Education in Ireland, on "accreditation and sustainable engineering". This built on the findings of a literature review that was distributed prior to the workshop. Data collection included individual questionnaires administered during the workshop, and notes scribed by workshop participants. Findings: The literature review highlighted a wide range of perspectives across and within engineering disciplines, regarding what sustainability/sustainable development (SD) themes should be incorporated into engineering curricula, and regarding language and terminology. This was also reflected in the workshop discussions. Notwithstanding this diversity, clusters of sustainability themes and priority considerations were distilled from the literature review and workshop. These related to resources, technology, values, ethics, inter- and intra-generational equity, transdisciplinarity, and systems and complex thinking. Themes related to environmental and economic knowledge and skills received less attention by workshop participants than represented in the literature. 2013-01-01T00:00:00Z Teaching engineering ethics with sustainability as context http://hdl.handle.net/10468/635 Teaching engineering ethics with sustainability as context Byrne, Edmond P. Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to ascertain the engagement and response of students to the teaching of engineering ethics incorporating a macro ethical framework whereby sustainability is viewed as context to professional practice. This involves incorporating a broader conception of engineering than is typically applied in conventional teaching of engineering ethics.Design/methodology/approach – A real life wicked problem case study assignment was developed. Students' understanding and practical application of the concepts were considered. A survey was conducted to gauge students' appreciation of the professional importance and their enjoyment of the subject matter. Findings – It was found that students appreciate and enjoy a macro ethical sustainability informed approach, but find it more challenging to apply in practice. Practical implications – The paper demonstrates an approach to the teaching of engineering ethics using a practical example, which can help broaden engineers' self-perceived role towards one where sustainability is context. It also shows how students can find such an approach to teaching ethics to be both enjoyable and relevant.Social implications – Engineers educated to perceive the importance of engaging with macro ethical issues as part of professional practice will be significantly better placed to inform public and industry policy towards greater good and engage with other professional and expert groups. Originality/value – In this paper, an approach to engineering ethics which diverges from the traditional is proposed. This can be of value to those involved in the teaching of engineering ethics, particularly those seeking to incorporate sustainability and other macro ethical issues. 2012-01-01T00:00:00Z
