Mark Andresen, the designer of NotCaslon, works as an illustrator in New Orleans, Louisiana. His typeface was originally used for experimental posters for a punk music club called 688 in Atlanta, Georgia. This typeface remained unfinished until 1995 when Emigre showed interest in it as a digital font. It was treated as a found artifact with an eye for its irregular details.
The main influence for NotCaslon is the city of New Orleans itself with its 18th and 19th century French Quarter balconies, old cemetery crosses and Voudou veve designs. The city where Mardi Gras is living, breathing Surrealism. Much like NotCaslon.
The peculiar swashes and inconsistent italic letter forms are all pieces of Caslon Swash Italic broken press type, rearranged and spontaneously formed. "It was meant as a joke, really, but I became serious about finishing it as I started to enjoy the odd gracefulness of it." says Andresen. "It reels like drunken sailors on shore leave - the Black Sheep of the Caslon Family."
This font has been exhibited at The Cooper-Hewitt Contemporary Museum's "Mixed Messages" retrospective graphic design show, and has been noticed on CD covers from Madonna to Lou Reed.
Emigre licenses its fonts directly from the designers who create them, who often spent years completing the fonts. We ask you to help us support type designers by acquiring proper licenses for the use of these fonts.

Center of Excellence for Diversity in Health Education and Research
Jerry C. Johnson, M.D., Project Director
The Center of Excellence Program (COE), authorized by section 736 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C.293), supports programs of excellence in health professions education for individuals from racial and ethnic minorities underrepresented in the health professions workforce. The ultimate goal of the COE program is to strengthen the national capacity to produce a diverse culturally competent health workforce that represents the U.S. population. Indeed the COE programs are congruent with three of the recommendations of the landmark Institute of Medicine study of health disparities:
- increasing the proportion of US racial and ethnic minorities among health professionals,
- integrating cross-cultural education in the training of all current and future health professionals, and
- conducting research to identify sources of racial and ethnic disparities.
Center of Excellence programs provide a comprehensive array of programs that impact on all factors related to the training of health professionals: recruitment and training of health professions students (from the secondary school through health professions school), recruitment and training of minority faculty, modifications of health professions curricula to improve clinical education and cultural competence, and research on health issues particularly affecting minorities.
Initiated in September 1993, under a grant from the Bureau of Health Professions, Health Resources and Services Administration, Department of Health and Human Services, the Center of Excellence at the University of Pennsylvania School Of Medicine, aims to establish, facilitate, and conduct programs that will enhance the health of under-represented minorities, particularly African-American and Hispanics, by training minority medical students and medical faculty for leadership positions in the health professions workforce, by facilitating research on minority health issues, and by encouraging modifications in curricula to respond to the needs for cross cultural education. The Center's models of faculty development, cross-cultural medical education and minority health research have been disseminated regionally and nationally. Since its inception in 1993, the Center has implemented two intensive longitudinal secondary training programs (one predominantly African-American and other predominantly Hispanic); maintained an URM student enrollment above the national average; increased the URM faculty enrollment in the standing faculty tracks of the School of Medicine from 27 to 171; implemented curricular changes related to minority health and cultural competence involving the entire medical student class; and has facilitated campus-wide minority health disparities research programs. In summary, the Center facilitates the training of primary care physicians; ensures that practitioners acquire the skills to practice in a culturally competent manner; and facilitates research necessary to provide high quality health care to minorities.

Lacrosse news straight to your inbox.
Tuesday August 6th, 2013 1:07am
Peter Koutroumpis recently checked in with the North Carolina lacrosse team. Here's a recap of practice with the Heels.
They walk up the road to their practice field early in the morning under an overcast sky.
In full equipment, their cleats clicking on the sidewalk, they converse with one another in a jovial manner – Fallball season is here in Chapel Hill, N.C.
It's the third week of practice and a few days before the first of two Fallball tournaments that the North Carolina Tar Heels are scheduled to play.
Coach Joe Breschi and his assistant coaches take to the artificial turf field talking amongst the players and themselves before it's time to start – it's a relaxed atmosphere with an underlying intensity building. The portable clock on the sideline sounds the horn as the final seconds count down to zero – time to go to work.
Breschi brings the group together, delivers the message for the day, and the players disperse to warm up.
It starts to drizzle intermittently, but the rain has little impact upon the activity taking place on all areas of the field.
Attackmen, middies, and defensemen take to one end of the field to begin stretching while the goalkeepers get warmed up under the direction of assistant coach Brian Holman.
A handful of injured players work with the athletic training staff on hand - riding stationary bikes, running sprints and/or stretching - depending upon what their specific rehab needs call for.
Attackmen and middies stay at the far end of the field under assistant coach Pat Meyers' direction with passing-in-motion drills while the defense begins ground ball chases with assistant coach Chris Feifs shouting words of direction and encouragement.
The field is full of activity as the offense works on moving the ball from the top to behind the cage and back on the other side while the defense transitions from ground ball pick-ups to clears at midfield.
Calls from coaches to call 'ball' are echoed and repeated continuously.
Attackmen and midfielders work the ball from groundball pick-ups to passes in a box drill as the ball moves in a circular formation getting closer to the cage.
On each successive cycle, off-ball exchanges and screens set up each pass sequence before finishing with a shot on goal.
The rain stops.
The defense transitions to work with the goalkeepers and a handful of midfielders on positioning and movement without sticks.
The attack and remaining middies at the other end start in a face-down position on the ground in various spots in front of the goal.
On Meyers' whistle, they jump up simultaneously and claim the ground ball to start their offensive work.
A glimpse of working under the new stall rules becomes evident as Meyers calls '30 seconds' while the players move the ball around to look for a shot on the open cage.
A shot rips the twine in response to the call.
The attackmen are now working with Meyers alone while the middies head to the other end to work 3 on 3's against the keepers.
Breschi grabs a short stick and works with the defense on pass and shot interceptions using a bounce-back net on the far sideline.
While the long poles look away and are running on the spot, Breschi calls shot and they turn in an attempt to intercept the ball in the air, or pick it up after it rebounds off the surface of the net – simulating a shot on goal and resulting rebound.
The attack continues to work on its shooting skills while in motion and coming off a roll dodge.
Meyers emphasizes the need to explode out of the roll and to follow-through with a strong weight transfer while putting the shot on goal.
The defense continues to work on defending 3 on 3 ball movement against midfielders at the other end of the field.
The score clock counts down to zero once again – time for a full-field scrimmage.
Breschi calls everyone together to make a few points of emphasis before play begins and continues for 20 minutes.
At that point, a two-minute break is taken and Breschi then directs the dark blue squad to run three crossfield sprints – the cost of losing the first half of scrimmage play.
Not a punishment, but a part of regular conditioning work.
A faceoff begins play once again as the dark Blue squad takes the lead with effective ball possession resulting in a number of laser-like shots taken by the attack from 12-15 yards out on the wing – the strength of this team's offense for the upcoming season it seems .
Another break in play and now it is the Carolina Blue squad that runs crossfield sprints before a faceoff begins the last segment of the intrasquad matchup.
Breschi calls the players together in the middle of the field for one final time before the team wraps up its session with a cool down and stretching session.
Just days following this practice and the team's first Fallball Tournament games against Penn State and Cornell, coach Breschi granted junior attackman Nicky Galasso a release to transfer after the Fall semester.
A week later, the Tar Heels completed a second Fallball tournament scrimmage against Ohio State – a game held as a fund raiser with proceeds donated to the Michael R. Breschi Scholarship Fund at Ohio State which honors the late son of UNC head coach.
Most recently, senior attackman Marcus Holman was elected captain of the Tar Heels for the upcoming season - the first time in 22 years that a single individual has been elected as the captain of the Carolina men's lacrosse team.

Post subject: Packers Mock Off Season 1.0
I have been reading the forums on this website for a couple of months and just joined so I could share my opinions. Please read and reply with insightful reasoning on why you may agree or disagree with my picks.
Thank you!
Remaining Free Agency:
-Jamie Sharper - not as fast as Bates would prefer, but quality guy who's always on the field, makes tackles, and provides leadership and work ethic that could help take pressure off Barnett and might give Hunt a kick in the you know what.
- Arturo Freeman - played for Bates in Miami so he knows the system and can help teach it to our younger guys as well as everyone else. can play both safty positions and can fill a hole until a possible rookie is ready.
Trade first round pick #24 to the Eagles, who always likes to move up to grab the guy they like plus they have a number of picks this year, for their first round #31 and third round #77.
Trade second round #51 and third round #77(from eagles) to the Browns for second round #34 - Browns need the picks.
First Round #31
- Brodney Poole - FS - Oklahoma - great talent with decent speed. likes to play back in coverage, which is where Bate's safties play. can come up though and play the run. Good playmaker and someone who can take D. Sharper's place.
Second Round #34
- Justin Tuck - DE - Notre Dame- speed rusher off the edge. Bates likes guys like this, who can line up wide and get around the corner to pressure the qb. he likes two big guys in the middle, ie jackson and hopefully either hunt or washington, and two speed guys on the outside, ie kgb and tuck. kampman can play obvious running downs. tuck and kgb would be comparable to Jason Taylor and Adewale Ogunleye, who Bates had in 2003 his best dl with the dolphins, in both size/speed and skills.
Second Round #58
- Ernest Shazor - SS/OLB - Michigan - Big time hitter! Big body at 6-3 and 226lbs. decent speed. can play SS at this weight and is decent in coverage and will make wr pay for coming across the middle, ie Rodney Harrison, Roy Williams, Sean Taylor type. Has the body frame to gain some weight and make an outstanding olb, using his coverage skills on te's and rb's.
Third Round #89
- Jerome Mathis - WR/PR - 5'11, 189lbs, 4.32 40 yd dash - Hampton - moving up on the draft boards. would be upgrade over Chatman for punt returns and a fifth wr until he developes more consistency and route running ability. covers the possibility fergusen can't perform like before his injury and security in case the horrible would happen with walker leaving in fa next year.
Fourth Round #125
- Richie Incognito - C/G - 6'3, 305lbs., 4.84 40 yd dash - Nebraska - man with a nasty streak. had off field problems or would be a much higher pick. well worth the risk here. could become unbelievable center or lg. could pull like wahle with his speed and agility. sit him on the bench for a year and send him to nfl europe to mature some. next year could be a phenom.
Fifth Round #143
- Jonathan Welsh - olb - 6'3, 244lbs, 4.51 40 yd dash - Wisconsin - bigger and/or faster than most top lb prospects. played de for the badgers, but would have to make the move to olb. is accustomed to taking on blockers, but gets engulfed by big offensive tackles. would only have to deal with fb's, te's and pulling g's with the move. is quick and could be a specialist on passing downs to blitz until he learns position better. would be great on special teams.
Sixth Round #180
- Jordan Beck - lb/ss - 6'2, 233lbs, 4.46 40 yd. dash - Cal Poly - played lb in college, but could be moved to ss. would be a prospect, but at this point in the draft who isn't. this guy has great potential and upside and like welsh would be great on special teams. would keep fergie off the punt coverage teams and give him a chance to stay healthy.
Ideas and suggestions for changes more than welcome. Constructive criticism only please.

The Packers might want to take either Brodney Pool or Justin Tuck with their #24 pick because Pool won't be there at the #31 pick and Tuck won't be there at #34. They can have one or the other, but not both.

yeah i don't try to know everything about the draft but i'm know poole won't be around 31 as well as tuck that late either. and as for all the trading i don't see it happening. we need to make sure that we get the people we won't so trading down doesn't seem likely when we're that close to the bottom already.
as for the FA moves. exactly what i've been saying since i saw that sharper was available. he doesn't have barnett speed but 164 tackles in 2003 and 137 in 2004 this guy finds the ball so i'm not at all worried about him not fitting in. those numbers are gawdy as all get out.
C+ because of the draft trades.

See my grade is incomplete, simply because a lot is hinging on how the draft goes, and free agency isn't over. If things continue the way they are going, their grade is F. If they do the things you say they should do, their grade would be an A. I truthfully think it'll be some where around a C or B.

Monday's Louisville Women's Game Is About More Than Basketball
LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Monday night's women's game against UConn will be about more than basketball.
The game is senior night for the five seniors on the team, including Native American Shoni Schimmel. The chance to see Schimmel's last home game has drawn over 1,500 Native Americans from as far away as Alaska to Louisville. Schimmel says its "cool" to be a role model for Native Americans and is proud of the stereotypes she and her sister have broken.
The Cards and Huskies tip off at 7 Monday night with a share of the conference title and a potential number one seed in the NCAA Tournament on the line.

The No. 5 Florida lacrosse team closed out the home season in style, cruising to a 17-5 conference victory over No. 17 Vanderbilt. Brittany Dashiell (Bel Air, Md,) scored a career-high-tying six points to lead the Gators to their 10th-straight victory, running Florida's record to 14-2 (4-0 ALC) with one game to go in the regular season. With the loss, the Commodores drop to 7-6 overall and finish their conference slate with a 1-4 record in ALC play.
"Offensively, I thought they ran through their plays," said Head Coach Amanda O'Leary. "I think Vanderbilt is a really good defensive team, and offensively we did a nice job of containing them."
Brittany Dashiell led both teams with six points on the afternoon, scoring two goals and tying the school record with four assists. Kitty Cullen (Rockville, Md.) was tops on the Gators with five goals, and Shannon Gilroy (Northport, N.Y.) followed closely with four.
"Kitty has a rocket for a shot," Gilroy said of her teammate. "Every time she shoots the ball in practice, everyone steps out of the way. I know the goalies do, too. She has a really nice shot."
Caroline Chesterman (South Nyack, N.Y.) recorded three goals, Ashley Bruns (Ellicott City, Md.) put up two goals and an assist, and reigning National Rookie of the Week Nora Barry (Marcellus, N.Y.) scored the remaining goal and assist, adding a team-high five draw controls, three ground balls and two caused turnovers.
Before the game, Coach O'Leary stressed the importance of winning the battle for possession, which the Gators excelled at this afternoon, leading 15-9 in draw controls and 31-13 in shots.
"Shannon did a really nice job (taking the draw)," O'Leary said. "Ally Carey is one of the best draw specialists in the country, if not the best, and I thought Shannon certainly held her own. I thought both of them did a fantastic job on the draw."
Emily Dohony (Parkton, Md.) and Mikey Meagher (Liverpool, N.Y.) each recorded three ground balls on defense, and Dohony also caused two turnovers.
Meagher made seven saves and allowed just five goals in the complete game, while Commodore keeper Natalie Wills put up nine saves but gave up all 17 scores.
Senior midfielder Ally Carey, a 2011 First-Team All-ALC selection, led the Commodores with two goals, four draw controls and two caused turnovers.
Kitty Cullen got the scoring started two and a half minutes in, taking the ball across the midfield and driving into the arc for an unassisted goal. Carly Linthicum bounced a shot past Meagher 59 seconds later, but the Gators followed with an 8-0 run to head into the half leading 9-1.
Ally Carey scored her first goal of the afternoon for the Commodores with 28:55 to play in the second half, but Dashiell notched the first of her two goals at 26:57, and a wraparound diving goal from Chesterman made it 10-2 in favor of the Gators.
The Commodores continued to fight, scoring three of the next four goals over a stretch of three and a half minutes, but they were unable to complete the comeback, as Florida closed out the second half on a 5-goal run for a final score of 17-5. The 12-goal gap marks the highest scoring margin for the Gators against an ALC opponent, topping their 14-3 defeat of Johns Hopkins in the 2010 ALC Tournament.
The Gators will conclude the regular season on the road next weekend, when they travel to Chicago to play the top-ranked Northwestern Wildcats (13-0, 3-0 ALC). The winner of Saturday's matchup will be crowned as the ALC regular-season champion. Opening draw is set for 1 p.m. CT (2 p.m. ET) and will air online on the Big Ten Digital Network.

VICTORVILLE - A Phelan man already awaiting trial for allegedly stealing money from a Girl Scout troop earlier this month was charged with being an accessory in another robbery, according to court documents.
The District Attorney's Office filed charges against Collin Sawyer, 20, on Wednesday alleging the Phelan man was an accessory after the fact in a Feb. 16 robbery where Skylar Peyton Collier, 19, allegedly took property from someone by "force and fear."
According to authorities with the Girl Scouts of San Gorgonio, which oversees the troop victimized allegedly by Sawyer on March 3 outside a Phelan Stater Bros. market, circumstances of coincide with a Feb. 16 theft that occurred while a Girl Scout troop was selling cookies outside the Pilot gas station in Hesperia.
According to the complaint, the Hesperia theft took place about five days after Sawyer allegedly stole merchandise from a High Desert Walmart and when caught allegedly gave San Bernardino County sheriff's deputies a fake name.
Collier was arrested March 9 at the sheriff's Phelan substation and released Tuesday, booking records indicate.
After charges were filed against the two men, a warrant was issued for Collier's arrest, records indicate.
Collier is facing the possibility of being sentenced to California state prison due to the seriousness of the crime and due to a prior violent felony conviction, though a search of court documents shows Collier does not have a previous criminal record in San Bernardino County as an adult.
Sawyer pleaded not guilty on March 6. His charges are petty theft in connection with the Phelan theft of the Girl Scout cookie proceeds.

There were 126 arsons reported in Salt Lake and Davis County in 2011, a 27 percent drop from 2006.
Data reported by cities to the FBI for the Uniform Crime Report show that there were 172 cases of deliberately set fires in 2006, 46 more than were reported in 2011, the most recent FBI crime report.
In Davis County, the number of reported arsons dropped from 37 in 2006 to 27 in 2011.
Layton reported the most arsons in both years, 12 in 2006 and nine in 2011. Bountiful saw the largest decrease in arsons, from 11 in 2006 to three in 2011.
In Salt Lake County, the number of reported arsons went from 135 to 99.
Salt Lake City had the most arsons in both years 58 in 2006 and 36 in 2011 and the largest decrease, 22.
West Valley City, which had 31 arson cases in 2006, reported only 10 in 2011.
The data were compiled by UtahsRight.com for a weekly series in The Salt Lake Tribune's Close-Up section highlighting information gleaned from public databases. The purpose is not to provide analysis of the data, but to provide raw numbers so the public can analyze the data themselves for their own purposes.
UtahsRight.com, the data website for The Salt Lake Tribune, conducts an ongoing statewide quest for district court information and other public information, including salaries of public employees and restaurant inspections, using public records requests made under the state's Government Records Access and Management Act, commonly known as GRAMA.

Keith Urban a surprise guest at Rolling Stones' tour launch
Listen to Keith Urban on iHeartRadio
Keith Urban is thrilled to have had the chance to perform with the Rolling Stones. The country singer joined the legendary group for their tour launch in Los Angeles on Friday. He's captured on YouTube adding guitar and vocals to the Stones' classic "Respectable."
Keith says he'd never have passed up the opportunity to share the stage with the Rolling Stones. He admits if his options had been a trip to the moon or sitting in with Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, and their group, he'd be saying "screw the moon" while strapping on his guitar.
Urban is also getting praise for his performance. RollingStone.com says the country star "sang the hell out of" the song, and also "held his own trading guitar solos" with Richards and Ron Wood.

The cameras record .mp4 video files. Pictures will be saved as .jpg files. These are the same files that the camera will record in without the Dual HERO BacPac or 3D sync cable inserted. You can use one or both of the files depending on whether or not you wish to create 2D media or 3D media.
For optimal 3D recording we recommend keeping your subject at least 3 feet from the camera when shooting in WVGA, 720p, and 720p, and 5 feet when shooting in 1080p.
One Button Mode is not available for 3D recording. It will be removed from the settings upon insertion of the Dual HERO BacPac or 3D Sync Cable.
The Dual HERO System is approved at the same underwater rating as the Dive Housing, down to 197ft/60meters.
File preparation On your desktop, please create a new folder where you plan to save your 3D video and photos, converted files, and project file. Once the folder is created, plug the USB cable into the mini USB port on your Dual HERO BacPac (with the two cameras connected) and connect the other end to your computer. If the two cameras are initially off, they will display two solid red lights indicating a charge. Press the Mode Button on the Master camera and it will prompt both cameras to mount on... Read More »

Although their common names contain the word "bug," sowbugs and pillbugs are not really bugs. They're crustaceans, mostly aquatic invertebrates, such as the crab, lobster, crayfish and barnacle. Crustaceans breathe through gills, and have a hard exoskeleton and jointed appendages. Sowbugs and pillbugs are in the order Isopoda. They are technically termed isopods, which means "the legs are alike." Sowbugs and pillbugs are found in most regions of the world, and are widespread throughout North America.
Moist micro-climates, including damp, dark spaces and wooded areas. Prime habitats are under stones or in decaying wood. In cities, they frequent gardens, along house foundations and basements.
Both animals are approximately 0.5 inch (12.5 mm) in length. They have one pair of jointed antennae, a flattened body, fused abdominal segments and seven pairs of legs. They are gray to brown in color and covered with armor-like plates, reminiscent of miniature armadillos. Like all crustaceans, sowbugs and pillbugs are wingless.
Average about 2 years, but can live up to 5 years.
In the wild: Predominately vegetarian, but considered omnivorous, feeding on fungi and live or decaying vegetation and animals. During periods of drought, sowbugs and pillbugs are capable of switching to a scavenger-like diet.
At the zoo: Apples, oranges, romaine lettuce and monkey chow.
Sowbugs and pillbugs begin reproductive efforts in March and April. Two to three broods are raised during the summer. Each brood consists of 30-40 young, which are incubated for 34 days in the brood pouch. The brood pouch is located under the female's body, between the second and fifth pair of legs. The pouch is filled with fluid which protects the young while they are developing.
Sowbugs and pillbugs are active parents. The male guards the family's burrow, while both parents gather food and clean the burrow of debris. It takes approximately one year for young to become adults (nymphs look similar to their parents). Once adults, sowbugs and pillbugs continue to molt approximately every 28 days. However, a breeding female molts less often to permit time to incubate her young. Sowbugs and pillbugs molt in two phases. First they lose the rear half of the exoskeleton, and approximately 12 hours later, they lose the front half. After molting, they eat the discarded exoskeleton shell to recycle the calcium, which will be used to strengthen their new exoskeleton.
Predators include many species of birds and some amphibians. To camouflage themselves from predators, sowbugs and pillbugs are colored to blend into their environment. As an added defense, the exoskeletons of pillbugs have 10 freely articulating segments that enable them to roll up into a ball. On the other hand, sowbugs lack the capability to roll into a ball; instead they flee to evade predators. Some species of sowbugs even secrete a noxious substance that discourages other animals from eating them.
Although they don't live in water, sowbugs and pillbugs are still highly dependent on water for survival. They need to stay moist to survive, so they actively scavenge for food only in the cool of the night. To prevent dehydration during the day, they seek dark, moist areas to hide and rest. Sowbugs and pillbugs often gather in groups, huddling together to reduce evaporation. Some even burrow into the ground to keep their gills wet. Gills are the primary breathing apparatus for all crustaceans, and must remain moist in order to function.
Amazing sowbugs and pillbugs are on view at Woodland Park Zoo's Bug World. You'll go "buggy" while viewing exciting seasonal displays that take you on a journey to different bioclimatic zones around the world. You may come face-to-face with recycling cockroaches, assassin bugs, web-spinning spiders or scuba diving beetles, to name only a few. The only way you'll find out which bugs you'll encounter is by visiting Bug World. Don't miss it!
Sowbugs and pillbugs are often considered pests in greenhouses because they nibble at the roots of stems and seedlings. However, sowbugs and pillbugs are valuable arthropods because they provide food for other animals. As scavengers, they also play a critical role in maintaining the health of their environment. They return nutrients to the soil when they eat decaying matter and then defecate. In gardens, they benefit humans by circulating soil without eating garden plants.
The effort to save animals and their habitat requires cooperation and support at the international, national, regional and individual levels. You can help in this cause. Join and become active in Woodland Park Zoo and other conservation organizations of your choice. To conserve habitat for sowbugs, pillbugs and other arthropods, reduce your use of pesticides and herbicides, and work to preserve vegetation in your neighborhood and in tropical regions.

WATCH: Ellen DeGeneres says she'll find Selena Gomez a new boyfriend
Listen to Selena Gomez on iHeartRadio
Ellen DeGeneres is on a mission to find a Justin Bieber-replacement for Selena Gomez.
The singer appeared on Ellen's show on Tuesday, where Ellen pointed out that single guys must be intimidated by her beauty and talent.
Selena told her new love coach she's looking for someone who can make her laugh, and someone who treats her parents well.
As Ellen tried to gauge her taste in men, she said that she felt like she was making her "eHarmony profile." When she said that being in showbiz wasn't a requirement, Ellen offered up a cousin. Trying to stay away from the topic of the Biebs, Selena said that she's doing "great," joking that meeting Brad Pitt at the MTV Movie Awards on Sunday was enough for her.
Check out the interview below.
On life after Justin Bieber:
On turning 21:
On her friendship with Taylor Swift:
Check out Selena's performance of "Come And Get It":

Imagine seeing a bright glow down the highway. As you draw closer you realize it's a burning car. You slow down, get near enough to see Mom unconscious, forehead resting on the steering wheel. There are two small boys in the backseat, alive and wailing for help.
Do you drive by?
Of course not. Empathy, compassion and human instincts to save lives compel each of us stop and do everything in our power to help.
And yet, how did we react recently when we read Bloomberg's late January story announcing that men's lacrosse now leads all NCAA sports in illicit drug use (amphetamines, cocaine, anabolic steroids, marijuana and narcotics) and is a close second in alcohol highest consumption? Outside of a few InsideLacrosse.com posts on the survey, preseason preparation seemed to bury this disturbing information.
Car crashes fascinate. They also make us feel sad and impotent.
Some of us questioned the statistical validity of this recent NCAA survey. We employed socio-economic based sport comparison theories to rationalize, and minimize the bad news.
We kept driving.
Are the stats that place lacrosse players at the top of the drug/alcohol self-inflicted wound pyramid reflective of larger cultural trends? They are. Do ALL college students drink too much too often? Most do.
But in the seven years since the NCAA's last study, the percentage of men's lacrosse players that anonymously reported "frequent alcohol use" jumped from 89.4% to 95% (topped only by ice hockey's 95.5%). For marijuana, cocaine and amphetamines use, our sport's men "led by a wide margin."
Even if one allows for analytical imperfection, individual over and under reporting, this data causes grave concern. In 2005, the NCAA's Myles Brand announced, "Lacrosse has a problem."
Since then, lacrosse lives and families have been devastated by loss connected to drug and alcohol abuse. Warren Kimber IV, Drew Pfarr and Kevin Glenz were bright lights extinguished too soon. We are learning now if drugs and alcohol contributed to fatal decisions made by Yeardley Love's accused killer.
Should we view these as random, unrelated tragedies or the aching confirmation of an emergency too critical to ignore? Do people with influence care enough to tackle this immense, complex, dark side of the heritage of our game?
Seven years ago, John Underwood accepted an invitation from Johns Hopkins AD Tom Calder to address Blue Jay athletes. Dave Pietramala, then five years into his efforts to change attitudes and behaviors of JHU players, mandated that his charges attend, listen and learn. Underwood, founder of the American Athletic Institute, presented his powerfully persuasive research on "Pure Performance." He detailed the effects of alcohol and marijuana on training, recovery and performance of elite athletes.
Coach Pietramala used Underwood's information to challenge his players. "How Much More?" he asked them, would they accomplish if they incorporated informed lifestyle choices into their training regimen? That spring, Hopkins won their first NCAA title since 1987. Coincidence?
Pietramala acknowledges that, "We talk constantly about being responsible in all regards, that doing the right thing is a conscious choice." Whether leaving the weight room immaculate or understanding the difference between "having fun and being an ass," Pietramala holds the members of JHU's most visible team to the highest standards. He leaves no gray area. Pietramala wants youngsters who want to be positive role models in the most demanding spotlight.
He allows them to be college students on Saturday night, but there are serious consequences for the player who places his immediate gratification ahead of the good of the program.
"The last voice they hear Friday night before they leave the locker room is mine," he says. "The last voice they hear after a Saturday game is mine. We tell them to drink 64 ounces of water every Sunday." He knows that no one is perfect. He also knows that his vigilance has eliminated "Monday morning phone calls," a significant change that took years to achieve.
Underwood agrees that a coach's battle against today's "personalism" ("do it your way") is never done. "The worse the calamities, the more society trivializes it," Underwood finds. His mission takes him on "100 flights a year" to high schools, colleges, professional teams and Olympic training centers. He conveys messages of a drinking culture that sees American boys and girls commencing at 11.9 and 13.1 years old, respectively. By age 15 a pattern of use emerges with five drinking episodes in 30 days.
By college, 10-14 drinking experiences in 30 days becomes the norm. Many exceptional athletes excel by taking risks. They are, by nature, boundary pushers. Exploring extremes within this general culture of excessive use leads athletes to recurring patterns of overindulgence. "The problem," says Underwood, "is athletes are not using alcohol and other drugs. They are abusing them!"
We ignore the latest NCAA data at the peril of kids playing our sport. "We have lost control of athlete lifestyle," Underwood says, "and rationalized somehow that such behavior comes with the mentality of the sport."
For 12 years, Underwood's solutions have started with detailed delivery of information. He works to reach resistant athletes and coaches alike by dramatically demonstrating the negative impacts of alcohol and recreational drug use on performance. The metabolic strain from one night of binge drinking undoes two weeks of diligent training.
Processing excess alcohol compromises the liver's ability to produce hormones central to muscle growth and recovery. Chronic pot use sends an athlete's brain into overcompensating re-routing of impulses when faced with the simplest, neuro-muscular task. Some listeners will decide their four-year career is precious and change habits, eager to explore their full potential. Others won't.
Underwood encourages young lacrosse players to stop, "following the lead of rock star role models. When writing the story of your life as an athlete, never give someone else the pen!"
Similarly he challenges our sport's leaders to take responsibility. Invite John to be a keynote speaker at our conventions.
Do we stop or keep driving?

How-To Guide for Debugging your Tama
Posted 01 February 2006 - 06:58 PM ( #1 )
Warning: If you damage your tamagotchi by doing this, it's your own fault. No one's making you debug, and I'm not responsible if you don't do it right. This guide DOES NOT WORK on anything but a Tamagotchi Connection V1 and V2. Connexions, En-Tamas, etc. do not debug. I have no idea whether the V3s do or not, but I would advise against messing with it unless you know what you're doing.
That said, on to the good stuff.
Step 1. Unscrew the back of your tamagotchi the same way you would to change the batteries. Remove the battery. Don't lose the battery or the screw! ;D
Step 2. You will need a very small screwdriver. Unscrew the four little screws that hold the case together. They're really small, so don't lose them.
Step 4. Pry the two halves of the case apart. Do it VERY GENTLY so you won't break anything. It may be a little difficult getting it apart by the keyring, but just keep at it.
Step 5. You will see a circuitboard. Don't mess with anything on it just yet. Make sure the side that holds the battery is facing you.
Step 6. There are two half-circles with the word DEBUG next to them. With a blunt pencil (not a mechanical pencil, that will just break) scratch over those two half-circles so you get some pencil lead between them.
Step 7. Put the tamagotchi back together. Remember to put the battery back in. (duh)
Step 8. Press the reset button and choose "reset", not "download." Set the date, time, and your birthday like normal, and the baby will hatch. By pressing the A button at the initial baby screen (where it tells you the gender), you can scroll through all the tamagotchis and even some that never became official tamagotchis (testers, i guess). You can reset it and do this as many times as you want.
Info: When you press the C button in debug mode, it speeds up time so you can grow your tamagotchi very quickly. The time will go back to normal whenever your tamagotchi needs anything, so you don't need to worry about that. To un-debug, just use a cotton swab or a small eraser to rub off the pencil from the two half-circles.
If you have any questions, please ask and I'll do my best to answer you!

|19th Annual Sugar Bowl Classic ~ January 1, 1953
If football really is often a game of inches and close calls, this would be Exhibit A.
Rebel quarterback Jim "King" Lear wasted no time in staking Ole Miss to the lead, sending Wilson Dillard into the end zone eight plays after the kickoff.
Then Georgia Tech, traditionally a slow-starting outfit, fumbled at the Yellow Jacket 19, and quickly the Rebels were at the goal again with two downs to get in. Dick Westerman gained a yard, and then Dillard carried again on fourth down. Players were piled up at the edge of the stripe; when they were untangled, Dillard was ruled an inch short of a touchdown and the ball went over to Tech.
Coach Johnny Vaught protested later, "That ball was over, but they pushed it back two inches!" Yellow Jacket linebacker Larry Morris thought the call could have gone either way.
Another fumble, this one by Lear as the second quarter began, eventually had the 'Jackets camped on the Rebel 9 with a first down. The ball popped loose as Glenn Turner hit the line, but he caught it in midair and gained four yards. Bill Brigman sneaked over from the 2.
Instead of a two-touchdown lead, Ole Miss was all even with Georgia Tech.
The Rebels, though, charged right back with a drive to the 'Jackets' 3. But four plays gained one yard and no points.
"That's where we won the game," said Tech coach Bobby Dodd. "Those goal line stands won the game." Also, for the first time, Tech was beginning to control the Ole Miss offense. Frank Broyles, a Yellow Jacket assistant who nine years before starred in the Sugar Bowl, explained, "We changed the play of our tackles. All season long we have been crashing our tackles straight ahead on pass plays. There's not but one quarterback in 50 who can get out of the pocket we form that way. Lear was that one in 50. So we changed the angle on them. Instead of charging straight, we sent them crashing out at an angle toward the sidelines."
Leon Hardeman and Billy Teas began finding holes in the line, and soon Tech was at the Ole Miss 5 where Franklin "Pepper" Rodgers kicked a 22-yard field goal to give the Yellow Jackets a 10-7 halftime lead.
"When we went into the locker room I remember Coach Dodd sitting on a table, swinging his legs and drinking a Coke," said George Morris, who was recruited for Tech right out of the Rebel stronghold of Vicksburgh, Miss. "He said, 'Well, boys, it looks like we got 'em on the run.' Our reaction was that Coach Dodd wasn't watching the same game we were."
Another controversial call occurred during the third quarter when Lear punted to Bobby Morehead on the Tech 24. As three blue-shirted Rebels zeroed in on the returner, he gave a last-second motion that was described as "something like a wave to his girl friend." The ball was knocked loose and Ole Miss recovered on the 21. But the officials ruled the faint fair-catch signal had given the coverage enough time to back off, a decision derided by the press.
Tech was in the clear by then, although Rodgers threw a 24-yard touchdown pass to Jeff Knox in the fourth period.
Statistically, little separated the Yellow Jackets and Rebels, but the stats were deceiving. In the first half Ole Miss gained 164 yards. In the second half the Rebels had 123 yards against the revamped Tech defense. Ninety of those second-half Ole Miss yards came after Tech's 24th point.
None of that was the topic of conversation afterward, though. "Three of the four officials who worked in the Sugar Bowl live in Georgia." Times-Picayune sports editor Bill Keefe couldn't resist noting. "Two are from Atlanta. Mississippi Governor Hugh White sent letters to George Gardner, president of the SEC Officials Association, and to Bernie Moore, SEC commissioner, saying he had "witnessed the worst officiating I have ever seen."
A Rebel fan spotted Ole Miss President Dr. John Davis Williams walking from the stadium and said, "Well, Doc, I see you've still got your watch and chain, so maybe we're lucky."
Recap excerpted from the book "Sugar Bowl Classic: A History" by Marty Mulé, who covered the game and the organization for decades for the New Orleans Times-Picayune.

Reviews for this host's other properties
Very nicely located in the heart of Nice.
The room is ok, clean and tidy, but very simple. The apartment is situated nicely, close to the beach and a couple of shops, and in 20 mins of walking along the sea side you are in the city center.
Unfortunately we had a problem with the shower drain being blocked, which was not fixed during the two days we stayed there.
The apartment complex can be a bit noisy at times, with the only window going to the inner courtyard.
Overall the location made up for the apartment's shortcomings!
The studio that we rented in Nice was fully as expected - clean, located very central. All in all it was a great stay
Salvatore's place is such a space-efficient, clean space in Nice - only a 5 minute walk from the main train station, and about 20 minutes walk to the parts of Nice you want to see (Old Town, Parc du Chateau, the beaches, the markets, etc). Salvatore and his assistant were very accommodating and open to any questions we had. Check-in and check-out were super easy and super smooth. Next time I'm in Nice, I'll surely be staying here! Thanks, Salvatore
A really nice appartment - very spaceous, modern and clean with a well equipped kitchen, and very nice bathrooms. The location is convenient for both restaurants and shopping. Loved the fact, that we had free WIFI. The only minus were some traffic noise, when the windows were open. We enjoyed our stay and would love to stay there again. Thanks to Salvatore, who was really helpful.
While apartment refurbished but probably rapidly swinging door of the bathroom, which does not, wearing ditto towels. Holding a wheelchair user with screws falling steadily. Not enough utensils (pots, etc. ..) for cooking. No bedside in sleeping and finally cockroaches! In addition, the person with whom I had contact before my arrival did not warn me that she would send a cousin to send me the keys. Finally, a particularly nauseating smell in the elevator and when you are on the balcony.
Appartement certes refait à neuf mais sans doute rapidement : porte battante de la salle de bains qui ne tient pas, portant de serviettes idem. Un fauteuil usager qui tient grâce à des vis qui tombent régulièrement. Pas assez d'ustensiles (casseroles, etc..) pour cuisiner. Pas de lampe de chevet dans le coin couchage et enfin des blattes !
Par ailleurs, la personne avec laquelle, j'avais un contact avant mon arrivée, ne m'a pas prévenue qu'elle enverrait un cousin pour me transmettre les clés.
Enfin, une odeur particulièrement écoeurante dans l'ascenseur et lorsque l'on se trouve sur le balcon.
We were at Salvatore in May, the studio was small and clean. We had paid 20 euros for the bedding and towels ..... not very practical. It should also bring a hair dryer. The studio is very close to the Promenade des Anglais.
Nous étions chez Salvatore en mai dernier; le studio était petit et propre . Il a fallu déboursé 20 euros pour obtenir la literie et les serviettes.....pas très pratique. Il faut également amener son sèche-cheveux. Le studio est très près de la promenade des anglais.
Very nice apartment and flexible host! Thank you!
Studio is small, but clean and a good value for money for one - two person. Beach is 5 min away and a velo station just downstairs. Thera are many food stores around and one is just in front of the house. What is really missing is an air-conditioner-;)
Cute, cozy studio in a great location close to the main streets of Nice and not far from many great restaurants. Salvatore was easy to communicate with and had his assistant waiting to meet us when we reached the apartment. Only comments are that it would be nice to include some basic amenities with the apartment, such as towels, sheets, hand soap, or toilet paper. The shower was a bit leaky, and no extra towels made it difficult to clean up. We still enjoyed our stay and would recommend to others.

Full of fairy-tale vistas, Prague is beautiful in a way that makes even the most jaded traveller stop and snap pictures. The city is physically divided in two by the Vltava River (also sometimes known by its German name, the Moldau), which runs from south to north with a single sharp turn to the east. Originally, Prague was composed of five independent towns: Hradcany (the Castle Area), Malá Strana (Lesser Quarter), Staré Mesto (Old Town), Nové Mesto (New Town), and Josefov (Jewish Quarter), and these areas still make up the heart of Prague—what you think of when picturing its famed winding cobblestone streets and squares.

I kind of like the idea that even though he survived, that maybe (just maybe) Shinji is wasting away the way that Kiritsugu did after his exposure in the 4th War.
That way, even if he wanted to hurt Sakura again, he'd have the ability to actually do anything like that would be taken away...
(I know it's just my theory, but it's not entirely out of the realm of possibility. Besides, how would Shirou know?)
Oh, and for my part, I like the not-evil Sakura a hell of a lot better, personally.

Which means it is entirely possible that Shinji is just going to go back to raping Sakura. Again. More now that Shirou isn't around to punch his face in.

If you want a reason, Shinji had a torturous near-death experience, being turned into a giant blob. That might have given him some incentive, kinda like 'is this what it's like to be a grail?'
See where I'm going? Unless the words of a character are proven wrong, saying 'this isn't true' based on an opinion is as unbased as any other claim without evidence.
Bottomline: Yes, characters can lie and be wrong. But only when proven wrong.

See, Shinji isn't just an antagonist. He's a slimy, irredeemable git.
As as for Sakura's condition, well, we basically have objective proof of that...
There's absolutely nothing to stop Shinji from going back to raping Sakura once he gets out of the hospital. Shirou and Rin are in London, and Zoken is dead.

"Shinji was saved thanks to Tohsaka, and he's currently in the hospital.
I guess the hospital is part of the magic association, and he's getting better.
Sakura is busy visiting him, so she's been showing up at my place only during the weekends.
I went to check up on them once, and they were getting along surprisingly well.
I don't know if that event took something out of him, or if he's just unenergetic from the wounds.
Either way, Shinji is ironic and honest, and he's acting a lot more like the Shinji I used to know."
Oh, and there's also a full year between the epilogue and going to London.
So we have several key things here:

...let's just say that while I agree that Saber is a fine character, I don't quite agree with your view regarding Sakura.
I wouldn't be so keen to write for her otherwise.

Then she went evil in the final day, and she was anything but a damsel. Throwing the entire damsel trope on its head, she decided she was done with being the victim and started being the victor. She scored major points there.
Which is also why I defend her choosing to be evil. If not, it's all the Grail's fault, and Sakura is still a boring helpless damsel.

So, you think that had Rin been handed over instead of Sakura, that she wouldn't have cracked under the strain, and thus be required to be gotten the hell out of that place in the same way?
It's really unfair to dismiss Sakura like that, when the kind of life she should have been able to live had been taken away for such a long time.
I see Sakura as being a woman who has had so much in her young life taken from her - but at the same time, one who has a lot of potential once she is given the chance to live the kind of life she deserves... to blossom into the kind of person I believe she can be.
Indeed, in my own attempts to write for her, the last thing I would want her to be treated as is a person who would constantly need a crutch.
Rather, I would say that with the right help, the right advice, and the right chance for something more, she can step out of the shell that the past has conspired to put her in, and catch up with the kind of life experiences that are out there waiting for her... once she learns how to reach out and grasp it.
Quite frankly, I'd rather write about that - even if no-one other than myself would ever give a crap about it - than assume the only way she can escape her past is to turn into a supervillain.
And if saying all of this makes me into some kind of naive fanboy, well, so be it.

Perhaps Rin would have turned out like Sakura had she been handed over, perhaps not. Sakura's mocking in the Bad End where she tortured Rin sure seems to suggest that Rin would not have held out nearly as good as Sakura had anyway. I can assure you though, if Rin had been written to be the one handed over and would have cracked and turned into a helpless damsel, I would not nearly like her as much as I do now.
The 'why' doesn't really matter. What matters is that as we play the game, Sakura is a helpless little damsel in distress that needs to be protected. If you like that, fine. I didn't.
If Sakura had blossomed in the story as you describe she would, grow into a strong person who doesn't need a crutch and fought alongside Shirou against Zouken, then I would not have the opinion I do now. I would have loved her. However, she didn't. She did not blossom in the story after she was rescued, she remained a poor damsel that needed to be protected and saved.
I would have loved to see Sakura grow strong in the story. That never happened. So her choosing to be evil was the next best thing, as the only alternative is accepting her being a poor little damsel for the entire game.
I will much rather accept Sakura turning evil, at least that way I have something I like about her instead of nothing.

I don't see the game as a self-contained tale, but rather a part of a wider tapestry that other Nasuverse tales, be they already published (like Fate/Zero) or which may, one day, be released in the future, are each glimpses, or segments, of.
I guess it's the 'world-builder' habit I have when reading stories in settings I find compelling - I can't help but place the stories we see in the context of a wider world, a wider range of characters and possibilities, that may not have played a role in this or that particular story, but who may still be out there in the wider setting...
...and who, one day, may be able to play a role in taking things in a new and unforeseen direction.
How many people did you know when you were 17 that you are still close to now, and how many have you met in the years (and places) since who have played the kind of role in your life that you couldn't have predicted back in the day?
That kind of change has most definitely been the case for myself.
(To give an example, one of my two longer fics is set 2-3 years after the Good ending of UBW, and includes an OC protagonist who was on the far side of the world in February 2004 - and at that time had no clue as to what his author would eventually have in store for him...)
The endings for each particular timeline might give a certain take, or snapshot, on how things may or may not go, and one could assume that's a sign of how things will be from then on...
...but life doesn't work that way.
At all.
And nor need fictional timelines, either.

And yet, even if you do view Fate as something connected to a larger world, that does not change her character. As long as no official sources are released on it, her character remains as it was in Fate. I don't know how she is in Hollow Ataraxia, so maybe that game can change my views on Sakura, but without access to that, her character is as it is in Fate.
Sure, you could expand with fanfiction, but that would not be Sakura. Whatever you may write, that would be your Sakura.

It's a wide multiverse - one in which no character need develop the same way in every alternate reality.
Even if a Sakura askin to the one I try to write is canonised one day, it would still be valid in only some, and by no means all, possible Nasuverse timelines.
But if there's even one out of millions of timelines where she can be so, that would be enough for me.

It's been a while since I visited these boards. Allow me to comment and reply to a few points that were brought up that I would like to contribute to.
Same goes for the Fate route. There is no source of info relating anything about Zouken during or after the Fate route, so we can assume he just fades away into nothingness, if he hadn't already (consider the 'rotten worms in the basement'). By this point, he may have lost his ability to maintain his body and is in his last stretch of existence if he hasn't hit it already.
It's like going through the horrific exposure of going to work everyday, eventually you get used to it. Having something big and unexpected at that point wouldn't be that big a deal as if it happened before you got used to everything else.
While I believe her personality after this would make a change for the better and that Shinji would have a much harder time trying to force Sakura down anymore, I don't believe that Shinji has had much of a change. It's like the point I was arguing before about Shirou from the other routes compared to HF, you can't simply 180 degree your personality in an instant, it's something that requires a gradual change as you break from your 'norm' and change that to something else.
However, would Rin have snapped? If you go through Fate/Zero and read the little bit about Rin, she was a hell of a lot tougher than Sakura. She would have kept Shinji in his place for the most part, or at the least, been the one wearing the pants of the two.
Okay, I think puts me up to speed with everything.

F/HA obviously takes place after some alternate ending where Shirou uses the grail to materialize the souls of all the servants. Or something.
Kotomine was still a villain though, clearly, as he's still dead. Bawwww

Travis Street
A picture taken on Travis Street in the late 1920's.
My Auntie is shown far right. She still lives in Hyde at the good old age of 93 !
This picture is of 69 Travis Street in , I believe, the 1940's with various members of the Etchells family + friends.
69 Travis Street no longer stands. It is a small garden now. The alley way on the photo is still there though as can be seen on the photo below..

The 30s
The first "Esposizione d'Arte Cinematografica" came into being in 1932 as part of the 18th Venice Biennale (from 6 July to 21 August 1932) under the auspices of Count Giuseppe Volpi di Misurata, President of the Biennale, the sculptor Antonio Maraini, General Secretary, and Luciano De Feo, General Secretary of the International Institute for Educational Cinema, based in Rome. Luciano De Feo was the very first director-selector.
Italy's highest authorities gave their approval to what would rightly be considered the first international event of its type. The 1932 Festival was held on the terrace of the Hotel Excelsior on the Venice Lido, and while at that stage it was not a competitive event, it included foremost films which became classics in the history of cinema: It Happened One Night by Frank Capra, Grand Hotel by Edmund Goulding, The Champ by King Vidor, Frankenstein by James Whale, Zemlja by Aleksandr Dovzenko, Gli uomini, che mascalzoni! by Mario Camerini and A nous la liberté by René Clair. The list of directors included leading names such as: Raoul Walsh, Ernst Lubitsch, Nikolaj Ekk, Howard Hawks, George Fitzmaurice, Maurice Tourner, and Anatol Litvak. The top stars of the moment appeared on the screen, from Greta Garbo to Clark Gable, Fredric March to Wallace Beery, Norma Shearer to James Cagney, Ronald Colman to Loretta Young, John Barrymore to Joan Crawford, and Vittorio De Sica, attracting over 25 thousand spectators.
The very first film to be shown in the history of the Festival was Rouben Mamoulian's Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, that was screened at 9:15 p.m. on 6 August 1932. In the report taken from 'La Gazzetta di Venezia' we learn that "the screening of the film" was followed by a grand ball in the Hotel Excelsior and "colourful comings and goings of the most exquisite attire". As there were no official awards, an audience referendum was conducted: best director was the Soviet Nikolaj Ekk for Putjovka v zizn, while the best film was René Clair's A nous la liberté.
The second Festival was held from 1 to 20 August 1934 and for the first time it included a competition. 19 countries took part with over 300 accredited journalists. The "Coppa Mussolini" was introduced for best foreign film and best Italian film; however there was no actual jury.
The awards were assigned by the President of the Biennale, after listening to the opinions of both experts and audiences, and in accordance with the "National Institute for Educational Cinema", a branch of the Society of Nations based in Rome. Other awards were the "Great Gold Medals of the National Fascist Association for Entertainment" to best actor and actress. The prize for best foreign film to Flaherty's Man of Aran, was a confirmation of the taste of the time for auteur documentaries.
As of 1935 the Festival became a yearly event (a clear sign of its international success) under the direction of Ottavio Croze. There was an increase in the number of films and countries participating, and the actors' award was renamed "Coppa Volpi". In 1936 an international jury was nominated for the first time and in 1937 the new Palazzo del Cinema was inaugurated (designed by the architect Luigi Quagliata), after a record construction time in line with the modernist trends of the era; with the exception of the years 1940 to 1948, it has hosted the Festival ever since. The Festival expanded: the number of participating countries increased as did the number of films accepted. 1938 meant the first retrospective, devoted to French cinema from 1891 to 1933. Marlene Dietrich came to the Lido, consecrating the star worship that accompanied the Festival.
As regards foreign films, selected by their respective countries until 1956, French cinema in particular, the '30s saw masterpieces the likes of René Clair's A nous la liberté (1932) and Duvivier's Un carnet de bal (1937), La grande illusion (1937) by Renoir, Quai des brumes (1938) and Le jour se lève (1939) by Marcel Carnè. The Italian award-winning films between 1937 and 1942 were works of propaganda, even if by outstanding directors such as Goffredo Alessandrini and Augusto Genina. The Festival was held three times during the Second World War, from 1940 to 1942 (not counted in the total number of festivals), with screenings temporarily held at the cinema San Marco in Venice, and participation limited to the member countries or sympathisers with the Alliance.

Judith Krug, Director of the American Library Association's Office for Intellectual Freedom, passed away last month. She was the office's first and only director since it was established in 1967.
She was THE champion for librarianship's core value: intellectual freedom… the right of Americans to free expression, freedom of inquiry, and privacy in the pursuit of information.
She also headed the Freedom to Read Foundation and was the driving force behind ALA's battles over censorship of the news media, books, films, the internet.
We acknowledge intellectual freedom in our mission statement as do many libraries: "KPL champions reading, ignites imagination and ensures access to information and ideas."
She defined and fought for the principles that have become basic to our country's public libraries and library patrons. The challenges continue, perhaps even more so, as society increasingly moves from a print world to an electronic world.
We uphold her principles and treasure her legacy.

Texas Seeing a Jump in Injury, Fatality Traffic Accidents
After more than three decades of safer and safer highways, the number of traffic accidents in Texas which resulted in an injury or a fatality has seen a disturbing rebound in the last two years, 1200 WOAI news reports.
There were just over 153,000 accidents in Texas in 2013 which resulted in an injury or a death, that is up from a low of 139,000 in 2011.
Before the recent jump, the figures provided by the Insurance Council of Texas had shown steadily decreasing auto accident rates in the state dating back to 1980.
But the Insurance Council's Mark Hanna says most of the wrecks we see on Texas highways are preventable.
"A third of all of these crashes are going to be due to some type of alcohol consumption, another third is going to be due to some type of speed factor," he said.
And Hanna said the new player on the scene is distracted driving, with more and more cell phones and other technological devices being used in cars.
But Hanna says the bump in bad traffic wrecks over the past two years has been largely due to the state's booming economy.
"We have more people on the highways, and people with more money in their pockets, they're getting out of their homes and driving more," he said.
He also points out that much of the economic boom has been in the very truck intensive Eagle Ford and Cline Shale oil regions. Traffic accidents are way up in the Eagle Ford, due to the huge number of oil trucks rumbling down rural roads which were built to handling nothing heavier than a farm tractor or pickup truck.
Declining accident rates since the middle 1970s not just in Texas but across the country have been credited to safer roads and safer vehicles.

In Focus: Marcus Semien
By Matt Spezialetti / Charlotte Knights | September 12, 2013 5:41 AM ET
Yankee Stadium was the venue; C.C. Sabathia toeing the rubber on a perfect September night in New York City.
Marcus Semien was a long way from Montgomery, Alabama, where his 2013 season began over five months ago.
Semien finished 2-for-4 with an RBI in his Major League debut, his first hit coming in the form of a single off the Yankees big left-hander.
It was the perfect cap to a career-year for the infielder. Semien began his journey in Double-A Birmingham, playing in 105 games for the Barons. He got off to a hot start after batting .305 in 25 April games.
Yet, the speedster's claim to fame this season was his run total. Semien tallied 14 times in April, his lowest number of the season.
Semien would end up scoring 90 runs over his 105 games with the Barons headlined by tallying 28 times over 26 July games leading up to his promotion to Charlotte. July would also bring about his best power surge of the year, as the California native would rip eight home runs in the month. In his last nine games with Birmingham, Semien hit .531 (17-for-32), five home runs, 14 RBI, and 14 runs scored.
He continued his hot play with the Charlotte Knights after his promotion on August 1st, hitting safely in eight of his first nine games. The home runs also continued to fly for Semien, blasting four in 10 games from August 6th to the 16th.
In 32 games for the Knights, he hit .264 with four home runs, 17 RBI, and 20 runs scored. Semien put up an impressive .409-2-9 line in 13 games at Knights Stadium.
Combined with his stats from Birmingham, he amassed career-highs in every offensive category from hits (147) to walks (98). Semien led all of Minor League Baseball with 110 runs scored, one better than Byron Buxton of the Fort Myers Miracle. Semien scored multiple runs in 28 games between Birmingham and Charlotte.
He was named the Southern League's Most Valuable Player, which becomes even more impressive when accomplished in 105 games. Semien still led the S.L in runs (90) and tied for second in walks (84) at the end of the season.
The expansion of Major League rosters brought about a September promotion for Marcus Semien, who made the leap to the White Sox on September 3rd.
It brought about a second inning matchup versus a Cy Young Winner, six-time All-Star, and World Series Champion C.C. Sabathia.
The grinding of 137 Minor League games in 2013 culminated with a soft line drive to right field.

Designers + Geeks: Design Is About Relationships
Designers + Geeks
Thursday, July 18, 2013 at 7:00 PM (PDT)
Looks like this event has sold out. No worries, though - we meet monthly and there are several upcoming speakers:
Designers + Geeks features talks from experts on design, technology, startups, and all manner of geekery. If you want to be the first to hear about new Designers + Geeks events, sign up for the newsletter.
It's easy to get so caught up in theory and process that we forget that design is about relationships. It's not about Photoshop comps or bytes of code. It's about people. And content. And, especially today, their devices. It's about the interplay between content and form, between real-time data and how, when, and why we share and consume it. It's about enabling connections where they couldn't have existed before. It's about focusing on creating experiences that are more meaningful, more delightful, and ultimately, more human.
Josh Brewer is the Principal Designer at Twitter, an advisor/mentor at The Designer Fund, and co-creator of 52 Weeks Of UX. In 2012, Fast Company named him one of "fifty designers shaping the future of design." He believes design is about relationships—at every level—and spends his time working to better understand and reinforce those connections.

OneRoof Energy, Inc., a complete solar services provider and subsidiary of OneRoof Energy Group, Inc., announced today that it plans to triple its existing call center from 40 full time employees to 120 full time employees, adding 80 jobs to the Phoenix market over the next twelve months. The call center expansion is necessary to provide support for the company's growing direct sales force launched in 2013 and comes amid rapid market expansion, including the company's entry into the Massachusetts market earlier this month. The center will also provide support for new channel alliances currently under development including retail energy partnerships.
"With a number of reputable call center training institutes in the area, Phoenix is a hot bed for call center expertise. It is also a mature solar market and that is an ideal combination for us," states Nick Hofer, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing at OneRoof Energy. "We are committed to providing the best customer experience in the industry and the call center will play a critical role in realizing that goal."
Arizona remains one of the top three residential solar states in the nation. The residential market saw 72.7 MW installed in 2013, up 17% year-over-year despite a reduction in rebate funding to $0.10/W and a hotly contested regulatory battle over adjustments to Net Energy Metering (NEM).
"The Phoenix metro area has one of the largest call center workforces in the U.S., offering trained agents with excellent call center skills," said King White, president of Site Selection Group, LLC. – a leading business location advisory firm. "With its expansion, OneRoof Energy is poised to be a leader in customer care in the residential solar market nationally."
