Take Yale To Stanford Game rfr South California <JAN Yale Holds 1500-- On to Stanford Vol. XV Los Angeles, California, Thursday, October 11, 1923 No. 8 CONTEST FOR BOWEN CUP IS 15 DAYS AWAY Preliminaries For Forensic Honors to be Held October 25 LARGE NUMBER WILL COMPETE Physical Examination Appointments Must Be Made Soon HAZING ABOLISHED GY Nine Best Speakers Will Enter Finals in Chapel November First By VICTOR COLBURN Only fifteen days remain until the preliminary of the "Annual Bowen Cup Contest" is to take place. Fifteen short days of preparation and the largest number ever witnessed will participate in one of the livest forsenic affairs in the annals of this institution. No longer is urging a necessity, for the students who have already signified their intention to enter the tryouts have surpassed last year's quota of participants by a goodly number. In short the interest now being shown has never before been equaled. Last year some thirty-five took part in the opening fracas, it would be conservative to say that at least fifty will match their public speaking abilities before the judges October the 25th. OFFER SIX CUPS Many who have talent in public Announcement is made by the Department of Physical Education that all men who were given appointments for Physical Examinations and have not yet reported must call immediately, today (Thursday) at the Men's Gymnasium for a second appointment. The regular examinatino period is now over. Special periods will be arranged for tomorrow, (Friday), and if necessary on Tuesday, October 1C for those not yet examined. All men subject to examination who have not reported for the examination by Friday, October 19 will be barred from all college classes by the Registrar's Office until such time as the examination is completed. The examination is required of all students in Liberal Arts who have not been specifically exempted from it by the Physical Education Department. VACANCIES FILLED ON EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE Helen Morton Hall, Clarence Johnson and Wrisley Major Are Named Adoption of Other Methods of Dealing With Infractions of Traditions NEW UNIVERSITY SPIRIT KIRCHOFFER IS THANKED speaking and debating are planning Frosh Warned to Wear Insignia to enter. Students of the debating and speaking departments will undoubtedly be among the chief contenders for the six silver loving cups, although indications from Law School might tend to make such a statement falacious. Discussion for this extemporaneous contest will center upon "The Criminal Syndicalism Law of California." The subject although new to the citizens of our state affords a word of material. In fact, it is a tcpic which was played up before the people in every newspaper only a few months ago. Those trying out must remember that a preparation upon the general subject is necessary so that they may speak for five minutes upon any particular phase. Last year was the first time in the history of the contest that women students really showed any unusual interest in competative speaking. However, they were more than successful in capturing three of the six cups, and thus dividing honors with the men. In view of past achievements, it looks as though the male members will have quite some time in keeping the co-eds from trompling all over them. PRELIMINARY, OCTOBER 2.5 According to the latest plans formulated by debate manager Ned Lewis. the preliminary contest will take place. October 25tli. one week before the finals. From all those trying out Beginning on October Fifteenth (Cointinued on Page 2) Three vacancies on the executive committee were filled by appointments made at the meeting Tuesday night. Helen Morton Hall was appointed in place of Helen Fine, Clarence Johnson in place of Beatrice Cartwright, and Wrisley Major as graduate representative in place of Helen Tobie. Another important step taken was the passing of a motion to the effect that a man from both Dentistry and Law be appointed to the Trojan Knights. These appointments will be made by the presidents of the Associated Student Body at each school. The Frosh will be especially interested in the fact that Freshman Co-operation of all Students in Observing Rules Urged by Harry Silke Ey Dorothy Herriman Attempts to reorganize the method of enforcing traditions through a process of education rather than physical force is the big aim of the University . of Southern California this year, according to Harry Silke, Student Body President. Stating that the University has no other choice in the methods of enforcement since the abolition of hazing by Dr. R. B. von KieinSmid, President of the University, Mr. jSilke went on to give his views on the subject. In the opinion of Mr. Silke the aim of the newly organized Trojan Knights will be to develop loyalty among the upper classmen and to get them to cooperate in this new system in order that they may s%t an example to the lower classmen and educate them up to the standards of U. S. C. rather than using the "rough stuff" of former years. STUDY OTHER SCHOOLS During his trip to New York this summer Mr. Silke made personal investigations into the methods of enforcing traditions of various eastern universities and announces that such colleges as Harvard, Yale, and Princeton do not keep order among their students by hazing and claims that the utmost loyalty and co-operation exists among the students. "Another ambition which we hope to realize this year,'' says Mr. Silke, "is to develop a distinct type among the U. S. C. men. One always hears of the Harvard type, or the Princeton type, but never do we hear of the* U. S. C. type of man. Therefore we want to bring out a type of man through this new system of ours which will be an honor to U. S. C." NEW TROJAN SPIRIT ifarry Silke also discovered while in the east that several unpleasant occurrences which happened last year as a result of hazing had giv- Form Big Brother Committee to Aid Freshmen Athletes Big Brothers of the University, an organization of upper classmen with a present purpose to act as goodfriends, advisors and moral helpers to Freshman athletes, and sponsored by Coach Elmer Henderson, met Monday noon and made plans for immediate work. According to Lester Heine-man, chairman, every Frosh pigskin contender now has a Big Brother appointed to him. and later, every first year track man will have a guiding aid. As far as can be ascertained, Southern California leads the field in being the first to start the Big Brother idea. The organization is now in its infancy, but expects to develop, and be a big factor in Freshmen successes. Geo. Kerslake, John Woods, and Okey King were appointed as a committee to head the work. The following men are Big Brothers: W. Sykes, Les Anderson, Ralph Mathisen, Harold Rogers, Carlton Dudley, Stan Wheeler, Hilbert Smith, Lyman Johnston. Oron McCaeb, Kenneth Kennedy, Worth Coleman, Gien Dudley, Orville Buck, Wendell Rhodes, Buck Oudermeulen, Geo. Kerslake, K. C. Mobary, Harry Holten, C. Sanders, Wm. Delphey, Jack Hill, Clarence Nelson, Chas. Mayor, Gene Pierce, and Bud Landers. hats will be placed on sale October en an unfavorable impression of U 15. After this date any Frosh not wearing one of these hats will be subject to discipline by the organization having this in charge. It was also moved that a letter of thanks be written to Mr. Hugo Kirchoffer for the help that he has given in leading songs. 'Students are reminded that meetings of the executive committee are open to all and that it is really desirable that more come. HALLOWEEN PARTY IN THE AIR SAYS MARTHA At the first all-university social event of the year, the Hallowe'en Dance is being anxiously anticipated by members of all the various colleges. and is being even more eagerly awaited by the new Frosh who never before have "been in on" a good old Trojan party. November 3, is the date set for the affair which is to take place in the Banquet Room of the Elite on | South Flower street. The committee in charge is arranging some surprise features in addition to the usual items of fun. Old fashioned refreshments, a special musical program. and the "best orchestra in town" are being counted on to liven things up considerably. Informality is to characterize the whole affair. "Tuxes,'' formal dress, fatcv costumes—all such will be strictly out of place; anything else will be O. K.. so the committee rules. Martha Smith, student body secretary, says: "The executive committee and school officers are enthusiastic about this first big party 'of the year, and we want the rest of the school to enthuse with us. We'll guarantee a good time for everyone, and might even go so far as to promise that if the Hallowe'en Party is a success we'll have the next affair at the Biltmore!" MEN'S GYM CLASSES TO STARTNEXT MONDAY Extensive plans for a big year of Gym sports are being formulated by Professor LaPdrte and Mr. Nichols. Every form of physical activity is to be placed on the year's program, and everyone wil be given an opportunity to take part in standard sports, as football, basketball, track and baseball. Gym classes will start next Monday. All are warned to be in gym suits, ready to report five minutes after the time set for the class to begin. S. C. Therefore it is not only advisable but necessary, according to the Student Body President, that U. S. C. create othe*- standards rather than hazing. Already authorities are beginning to comment on the new Trojan spirit which prevails on the campus and believe that the student body is progressing through this feeling of co-operation.. "The Freshmen are coming through wonderfully,' says Harry "in backing up the traditions'' and says that the Sophomores are beginning to sit up and take notice. This new sophomore spirit is widened by the organization of a committee of officers and leaders to look after the destinies of the class. The purpose of this committee is to assist the Trojan Knights in every possible way. They meet once a week to discuss practical ways of enforcing traditions. VETS TO MEET All Federal Board Students are asked to report to the room in the rear of Federal Board Office at 12 o'clock Thursday, October 11. The meeting is for the purpose of organizing and nominating officers. Elaborate Bleacher Stunts Planned for Nevada Game FRESHMAN CUSS HOLDS ELECTION Teetzel Wins Presidency; Peagreeners to Function as Regular Class With the largest vote in the history of the school the Freshman class settled the matter of class president Tuesday noon in a meeting after chapel. Winifred Teetzel of Pasadena was elected with a vote of 140 against 96 for Willard Brown of Moorpark. The meeting was called to order by George Orme, president of the Junior Class, who introduced Dr. Waugh, Dean of the College of Liberal Arts. Dr. Waugh, with a word of greeting to the new Trojans, invited them to make him their confident and bring their problems to him, assuring them of his sincere desire to help them get started in the right way. George Orme then, after lauding the spirit shown by '27 and making a plea for a continued recognition of the sacred traditions of the university, suggested that the defeated candidate be made Sergeant-at-Arms. A motion was made and carried to that effect and the vote taken by ballot. From now on the Frosh will function as a class on their own responsibility, without relying upon the guiding of the Juniors for direction. The officers as elected on the two ballots are: President—Winifred Teetzel. Vice-president—Genevieve Johnson. Secretary—Helen Morgan. Treasurer—Malcolm Chambers. Sergeant-at-Arms—Willard Brown. The various standing committees will probably be selected .by the president at the next meeting of the class. Unnecessary razzing and horseplay in the bleachers were the only things criticised by Yell leader Mo-Cann in reference to the rooting section last Saturday. He expressed as being pleased on the whole with the yells and cheers. "The bleachers is not a circus ring," he said, "we do not want any one playing the clown. Such an exhibition makes a bad impression on outsiders." "Hank" is planning full bleacher stunts for the doming game with Nevada Saturday. The word "Trojan" will be spelled out with the cards and caps as it was last year. At the rally today in assembly further details of this stunt will be given. It is especially asked that the seats be filled in from the first row and so on up. A new feature of the rooting section is the fact that the upper half will be given over to the girls who are expected to yell as loudly as the men. "There's no need to emphasize the need of a stronger rooting section Saturday," said the yell king." This is the last game that will be played in the Coliseum before the Cal. game So much has been said about the support from the bleachers, that every- loyal Trojan knows where he or she belongs.on that day and that is expected from each one. All the practice in yelling and bleacher stunts is needed that can be gotten." RECEPTION TO BE GIVEN BY COSMOPOLITAN CLUB On Friday evening, October 12, the Y Hut will become a center of rousing cheer and goodfellowship when the Cosmopolitan Club gives its annual reception to all students of the campus. The Club, of which Miss Lydia is president, extends an open invitation to all English and foreignspeaking students who are interested in the work of the club, and urges all to come and help create a more friendly relation among the different nationalities represented here. "Most wonderful associations are formed at these gatherings," says Miss Glover, "And, never before has there been so great an opportunity for work among the foreign students in the University." Plans for the reception are being prepared by Miss Frances Lucas, vice-president of the club. Many feature stunts and games will form an important part of the program and then, of course, refreshments. MONTHLY PLAYS BY SCH00L0E SPEECH Chapel in Old College Rebuilt Into Adequate Place for Play Productions PROGRAMS MONTHLY Method of Treating Trojan Frosh Sets New Precedent Recitals to be Given in Conjunction with College of Music Aided by a specially constructed theater, the School of Speech will inaugurate a new policy, this semester, of giving one public production a month. The old chapel has been completely rebuilt into an adequate up-to-date theater. "We feel that instead of spending the amount allowed for equipment, it would be a better plan to use the money for the reconstruction of the old chapel. It will provide us with a campus theajer in which all plays can be given, even the larger productions," stated Miss Mildred Voorhees. teacher of dramatics in the Schoo lof Speech. According to Miss Voorhees the large auditorium is very undesirable because of its size and poor acoustics. It necessitates the players standing on the very front of the stage and fairly shouting, thus making it impossible for the more subtle plays to be produced. The equipment also <s considered so poor that it has not been possible to complete the required sets. The old 'chapel has been completely rearranged, the stage being raised and the seating capacity greatly enlarged. The necessary equipment, such as the lighting and scenery is being rapid4y procured and soon everything will be in working order. The recital, given last June at commencement, was so greatly praised and so many pleas made for more like it, that the school of speech has decided to put on several of its kind. These are to be given in matinee and evening performances so that everyone desiring to see them will have an cpprotunity to do so. These recitals will also be given in conjunction with the Music Department. The first of a series of plays to be produced is to be given the latter part of this month. Three one-act plays constitute the first performance, the scenes of which are to be especially arranged by the play production class. The exact date has not been stated nor have the plays been caste as yet. ■ The annual three-act play is lo be given about the first of December. TICKET SALE TO OPEN-TODAY FOR SENIOR HOP Tickets will go on sale today lor the first big Senior informal dance, to be given one week from tomorrow night at the Garden of Allah. The tickets are to be $1.50 and will only be sold to Seniors. Alumni must get their tickets through the Seniors. Margaret Clarey, vice-president of the class, is in charge of the arrangements. The first meetihg of the Senior class was held Tuesday. The president of the Student Body said a few words about the responsibility cf the Seniors in seeing that no physical force is used in the enforcement of the traditions of the University. Bishop Stevens was the principal speaker in Chapel exercises Tuesday. He was preceeded on the platform by Harold Stonier. Mr. Stonier, speaking for the President who is at present in the East on a lecture tour, re-stated the stand being made by President von KieinSmid- with the co-operation of student body and faculty against the use of physical force in hazing. He stated that this policy sets a precedent in University traditional history throughout the land and that the eyes of the collegiate world are turned towards the campus of this University, anxiously awaiting the result of the experiment. The success of this policy will mean that it will be in all probability adopted by the majority of universities and colleges in the country, and it will also mean another triumph for President von Klein-Smid as a national educator and for U. S. C. as having a progressive student body. Bishop Stevens' topic was that of Optimism. He stated that of late the so-called "young intellectuals" of the land, the literary young bloods of Greenwich Village and elsewhere, had created a vogue of pessimism as a mental state and that any one showing optimistic tendencies is duped by them as having a "Rotarian" or "Kinwanis" mind. The Bishop very emphatically stated that he had a Rotarian mind if its chief characteristic was optimism. He went on at further length to show that where there is progress there must be a spirit of optimism and hopefulness and closed his address by quoting the old proverb, "the worse never happens." ROOTERS HOLD ■ YELL FEST IN CHAPEL TODAY Rally to Create Pep For Trojans' First Conference Game SOPHS ENTERTAIN FROSHAT AFFAIR Glendale to be Scene of Party; Trophy Dance Feature of Evening First Sophpmore party of the year will be given in honor of the Freshmen on Friday, October 19.

The party will be informal and will serve as a 'get acquainted party' for the new and old students. Members of the Freshmen and Sophomore classes will receive free tickets upon presentation of a receipt for their class dues which Nwill be due next week. Juniors may attend the dance if they pay at the door. The special feature of the evening will be a Trophy Dance. The best dancers will be awarded a prize by an appointed committee of judges. The committee in charge of the program is composed of the officers of the Sophomore class. Ruth Canary, vice-president, is very anxious that everyone be there, as she says, "This is just another opportunity for all of us to know each other better." Don Francisco Will Speak To Commerce Classes Today KIRCHOFFER TO DIRECT SINGING Stanford Trip to be One Topic—Band Makes Appearance Special numbers by the U. S. C. band; twenty-five minutes' of singing under the direction of Hugo Kirchoffer, community leader, whose services the University has obtained during the football season; and the selling of rooting caps will be the features of today's rally.

A Telegram & Gazette headline on Feb. 12 read �Troubled church scrambling for leader.� Really, is that the best you can offer in response to our beloved pope�s announcement the previous day? I am really �troubled� with such a negative innuendo.
Our Catholic Church has had its share of trouble, but I wonder when you choose that type of headline, are you aware of all the wonderful, positive contributions this same church provides to people all over the world daily? With a little thought, the Telegram & Gazette can do better.
As for the term �scrambling for a leader,� I wish to inform you there is no scrambling involved. We have in our church a very orderly process in place.
It is time you showed our church a little more respect. Accentuate the positive for a change. Catholics will appreciate it.

This Geo. Kinsman Inc. sponsored squad ran wild during the latter half of the Honesdale Little Baseball Association campaign. The Red Sox piled up 10 regular season, then reeled off three straight playoff wins en route to the Junior Division title.
Geo. Kinsman Inc. caught fire at the end of the Honesdale Little Baseball Assocation's regular season.
The?Red Sox surged to a 10-win campaign, then ran roughshod over their playoff competition en route to the 2012 Junior Division championship.
"We really had an excellent season," Coach Darryl Rhyne told TWI?Sports. "We were kind of a hodge podge group at the start, but things really came together down the stretch. It was a lot of fun."
Kinsman put together a 10-4 record, then reeled off three straight wins over the Mets, Yankees and Marlins to cop the crown.
"We were a very young, inexperienced team," Coach Rhyne said. "So, we focused on fundamentals...got back to the basics..and that paid off in the long run."
On-Field Leaders
While every single player on the Kinsman roster contributed to the title run, a quintet of talented young players provided on-field leadership all season.
Daniel Becker and Cory Johnson were a potent 1-2 pitching combo.
Becker batted #3 in the Red Sox order and, when he wasn't pitching, he played shortstop. The 10-year-old righty earned high marks from his mentor for consistency on the mound.
"Daniel wasn't overpowering, but he was always around the strike zone,"?said Coach Rhyne. "He kept batters off balance with a fastball and change-up."
Johnson was a revelation in just his first year of organized baseball. A flame-throwing 11-year-old, Cory amassed nine strikeouts in his three innings of playoff pitching action.
"Cory kind of became our closer late in the season and in the tournament,"?said Coach Rhyne. "He throws the ball incredibly hard for his age. Cory was just overpowering."
While Becker and Johnson were busy frustrating enemy batters, a trio of sluggers provided all the offense they'd need.
John Ulrichs paced the Red Sox assault. Another first year player who quickly evolved into one of the division's most feared power hitters, Ulrichs led his team with an eye-popping .771 batting average.
"John just got better and better as the season went along,"?said Coach Rhyne. "He improved every single time we played."
Peter Judge and Elizabeth Rhyne also contributed key plays during Kinsman's run to the Junior Division title.
Judge is a 12-year-old who anchored the Red Sox infield at first base. Peter paced the squad in both RBIs and doubles.
"Peter is defintely a power hitter,"?said Coach Rhyne. "It seemed like he hit a line drive every time he came up to bat."
Rhyne developed into the consummate contact hitter over the course of the 2012 season. Elizabeth batted in the 2-hole, played second base and led the team in singles (27) and on-base percentage.
"Elizabeth is a total team player,"?Coach Rhyne said. "She has a really positive attitude...always looking to help out her teammates any way she can."
Kinsman defeated the Mets in the quarterfinals (10-8), the Yankees in the semis (6-2)?and the Marlins in the championship game (9-4).

These guys are really taking this camp hard core seriously from what we can see. DB's are lighting up WR's. OL is pancaking the LB's, you just got to love the intensity these guys are putting forward so far. These guys are knocking the snot out of each other, as long as they don't start hating each other we should be better for itBy Mike Prisuta
Monday, July 30, 2007
Wide receiver Willie Reid was still in one piece, and the competitive harmony between the Steelers' offense and defense was intact Sunday afternoon at St. Vincent College.
Following recent events, that constituted news entering the second week of the team's first training camp under new coach Mike Tomlin.
The fists, hits and fighting words were flying on Saturday afternoon, when Reid absorbed vicious shots from safeties Ryan Clark and Anthony Smith.
Those shots were delivered after a fight between safety Tyrone Carter and wide receiver Nate Washington.
"Just a good, hard football practice," Clark said.
Wide receiver Hines Ward offered a dissenting opinion, characterizing the actions of the defense as "chicken-(expletive)."
Yesterday, the offensive and defensive units completed a spirited goal-line drill and then rushed one another on the way to their traditional post-practice huddle and pretended to brawl.
A few players were screaming, "Fight, fight, fight."
Just about everyone was smiling, including Ward, who a day earlier had taken his case directly to the defense as well as the media after watching Reid absorb hits Ward considered late, dangerous and excessive, particularly in a non-scrimmage situation.
"Let us know if it's going to be full pads," Ward said. "But if it ain't? On one play Willie was slowing down and somebody hit him."
Clark apologized for that one -- "I know when I'm wrong" -- and appreciated Ward's perspective.
"We know when it comes down to being tough, none of us can out-tough Hines," Clark said. "He's the toughest guy, probably, in the NFL, especially at his position. So when he says something and he comes over defending his squad, you respect it.
"It's not like it's a soft guy saying it. It's Hines Ward. He came over defending his team, and we're going to defend ours, but in the end we're all Pittsburgh Steelers and we walk off the field."
"You know sometimes it gets heated between the two sides. It's all love, but in the end you're gonna ride with your room. Our room is defense, and theirs is offense. It might have gotten out of hand a little bit."
A factor in the hitting might have been the trash-talk Reid engages in with Carter and some of the other safeties.
"We just go at each other, back and forth, locker room stuff," Reid said. "We took it out on the field, but it's nothing personal."
Normally, it isn't.
Saturday, it was.
"I'll tell you the truth. Willie Reid is probably the hardest-working wide receiver we have," Clark said. "He catches the ball and runs to the end zone every time. I think sometimes that brings out the competitiveness in you. You get a guy, no matter how many times we tag him (down), he runs all the way into the end zone and the fans scream.
"I got tired of hearing it."
Ward tired of seeing the defense's response long before Tomlin, who never intervened.
"I know at times tempers are going to flare," Tomlin said. "Part of us building this football team is understanding and controlling our emotions, because they're going to flare in the fall.
"It's also showing your ability to take some blows and catch balls and bounce up. Willie Reid has proven to us that he doesn't have any fear. He's distinguishing himself because of some of the things that have happened. But we have to leave it on the grass. It can't get out of hand.
"It's a fine line, I know. We're attempting to walk it."

What do big fish that live in and around all types of heavy cover have in
common? Once hooked they will kick your butt before burrowing into the
thickest junk they can find! Don't let them kick your rod's butt too.

Michelle Jackson/Snap Indigo, curator of the gallery at the Half King, announces the opening of an exhibition of photographs by Paolo Pellegrin entitled "War In Lebanon" to be held at the Half King, 505 W. 23rd Street in NYC. The exhibition will be on view May 1 – June 17; the lecture will be held at 8:00 p.m. Tuesday May 1.
Pellegrin's artist statement on this work:
"Having covered the Middle East for a number of years, I headed to Lebanon immediately after hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah broke out there in July 2006. Initially, most people thought the conflict would only last a few days; instead, the war went on for over a month and led to the deaths of over 1500 Lebanese, 150 Israelis, and the destruction of much of Lebanon's infrastructure. While constantly criss-crossing the tiny country, I spent the greatest amount of time in the besieged south Lebanon city of Tyre – the ground-zero of the war – working on a report for the New York Times Magazine with writer Scott Anderson. It was important to me to get as close to the action as possible in hopes of conveying to the outside world the human consequences of this "improbable war."

made out of ivory. 35.000 years old !!!!!!!
sorry there were no recorders back in the days.
Moderator: B&F Moderator
AGE-old INSTRUMENT ice age flute betoert the researchers of Markus Becker archaeologist on the Swabian Alb the perhaps oldest music instrument of the world discovered. Those approximately 35,000 years old flute was carved at enormous expenditure from solid ivory. Thus it seems proven that humans already up-played in the ice age to the dance. University of Tübingen ice-age ivory flute: Luxurioeses instrument whoever this flute from the stosszahn of a giant cut, had its music love. "like roll a Royce beside a Toyota" work the ivory instrument, if one compares it with a simple bone flute. Nicholas Conard, 43, can avoid superlative only with noticeable trouble, if he speaks of his newest find. The ivory flute, which the archaeologist of the University of Tübingen with its team in the Geissenkloesterle cave found with Blaubeuren, is one of the three oldest well-known clay/tone tools of the world. All three were found at the Geissenkloesterle, but the flute from the stosszahn is the instrument - and possibly also the oldest of the world luxurioeseste with distance. The researchers the deposits, in which the fragments of the flute were, with the help of which radio carbon method on an age of 30.000 to 36,000 years dated. Thus the ivory instrument would be about 1000 years younger than one at the same place 1995 discovered bone flute. A second procedure, thermal luminescence dating, resulted in against it an age of 37,000 years. "radio carbon in organic material was in that time strong fluctuations subjected", says Conard in the discussion with MIRROR ON-line ONE. "therefore the thermal luminescence is at least just as important." High cultural level which instrument the oldest is, does not leave themselves not with absolute certainty to say. The actual value of the ivory flute lies also not in the age record, but in its meaning for the discussion around the beginnings of the culture. "we can see now for the first time clear that the history of the music hands back, stresses 35,000 years" Conard. In the time at that time the last Neandertaler and first modern humans lived in Europe both. Owing to the flute it is now clearly proven that the inhabitants of ice-age Europe were culturally capable of similar things as today living humans. "an individual instrument from the ice age could go through still as curiosity", says Conard. "however since this find no more speech can be from a coincidence. The music was obviously already at that time an important component of the life." Whereupon point also the fact that in a cave equivalent three flutes were found. Conard explains, represents archaeological finds from the ice age always only "tiny samples" of the entire processes. "that we found, speak in one of these samples equal three music instruments for itself." University of Tübingen archaeologist Conard: "there was a singing and a dancing" Friedrich Seeberger, a specialist for archaeological music, the age-old instruments from the ice age, discovered before, reconstructed. Their note range, so the result of the experiments, might have permitted it to the praehistorischen Floetisten to up-pass on variant-rich and aesthetically. Which meaning obviously possessed the music for the Eiszeitler, let yourself not least from the aufwaendigen processing of the ivory flute read off. "an instrument from a solid stosszahn instead of from a hollow bird bone to make, is perfectly unusual", schwaermt Conard. Manufacturing complicated and with difficulty. Since the stosszahn bent and drill presses future music were, a simple drilling was not applicable. The ice-age artist had to split the tooth up carefully and scoop out the halves precisely. Subsequently, so the analysis of the archaeologists, the halves scarcely 19 centimeters are enough instrument with the utmost care stuck. The gap it had to be so perfectly worked that he did not let happen Lueftchen. "who builds such a piece of splendour, has the function in the sense", does not only mean for Conard. The sound was deeper perhaps "more largely and" than the one simple bone flute, but physically the complicated ivory construction changed for nothing in the function of the flute. "there someone wanted to absolutely have something special", believes the archaeologist. Splendor in the ice age the luxury flute supports the thesis that in the ice-age Schwabenlaendle creativity exploded as it were. Because the there caves do not only have age-old clay/tone tools, but also the oldest well-known plastic works of art approved. Some researcher doubts still whether the creative Big fear for an achievement of modern humans or the going down Neandertaler was. Thus or thus it seems to be certain now however that in the caves on the Alb one did not only carve but also one gefloetet, - the latter with splendid equipment. A culture, which affords in a materially as difficult time as the ice age such luxury instruments, must have measured a high value to the music out, believes Conard. "is hardly conceivable", means the archaeologist, "that it at that time no singing and dancing gave." from MIRROR, Germany

I've been considering getting myself a pair of these, and have one available to me for a short time. I already have another job I could use them for, but I'm fairly new to scholar and I'm having a little trouble determining how much the job would benefit from an item like this (which may sway me toward buying them, as having two jobs benefit greatly would certainly make the steep price easier to pay).
I realize that we can turn desert boots into a +movement item, though having to constantly keep standstorm seems to be a large disadvantage to the gaiters which work 100% of the time, with whichever buff you choose (I've been just about full timing hailstorm when I can) and without worry of its effects wearing if your buff wears at a bad time. I've heard that some scholars use them effectively for solo play, so it may just be inexperience on my part, but at the moment it's what leads me to believe that the gaiters could be a very worthwhile improvement. Still, I'd love to hear more experienced scholars opinions on this since I'm on the fence right now.
Any thoughts on how much of a priority I should make this item to use for scholar? To those out there who own a pair of gaiters, could you maybe share your thoughts on how much of an impact you feel they've had?

Two days after her sister found her unconscious in their backyard, a Lexington girl has died.
Police still don't know exactly what happened to 10-year old Ivy Freeman, who passed away today.
As they investigate, people in her Masterson Station neighborhood, and at Meadowthorpe Elementary where she was a fifth grader, try to cope with what appears to be a bizarre tragedy.
Ivy was hospitalized after neighbors say she was injured while playing in her backyard.
It happened Monday afternoon on Summerfield Dr. in the Masterson Station neighborhood.
Ivy was discovered by her younger sister. Her father attempted CPR while her mother went to call 911.
Police say the girl suffered severe injuries to her neck similar to someone who had been hanged or strangled. They say she could have received those injuries from a swing or rope on her play set.
The Crimes Against Children Unit of Lexington Police are still investigating, but at this point, the child's death remains an accident.

Providence, RI- Under the direction of assistant jumps coach Reuben Jones, Brown's jumps squad will look to build on its accomplishments from last season with the help of a solid core of veteran jumpers mixed with a talented group of newcomers.
Two seniors lead the way for the women's horizontal jumps this year. Gabriela Baiter ended last year's season as a NCAA first and second round qualifier, and with the second-best returning mark in the Ivy League (40'7.75"), she looks to challenge for the indoor and outdoor titles.
Another strong leader, Rachel Biblo will also contend in the triple jump after an All-Ivy performance at the Heptagonal Championships (40'2.25"). Biblo will also look to contribute some team points for the Bears in the long jump.
Junior Jara Crear and sophomore Kenny Thompson will add depth in the horizontal jumps this indoor season. Early this year, both Crear and Thompson have either matched or improved their season bests from a year ago.
Senior Natasha Smith makes a big return for the Bears as she begins her final year as a pentathlete. Look for Smith to return to the form that won her the Heptagonal Pentathlon title during her rookie year.
Senior AJ Fitzgerald provides leadership to a talented vertical jumps group that has a bright future in the Ivy League. Fitzgerald looks to contribute in the high jump after plagued with an injury during his junior year.
After a stellar freshman season, Hannah Wallace looks to continue her trend upward in the pole vault. Wallace ended a strong freshman campaign by finishing third at Heps with a personal best 12'1.50" and qualified for the ECAC outdoor meet.
Leading a strong group of newcomers is freshman decathlete Evan Weinstock. This past June, Weinstock placed fifth in the decathlon at US Junior Nationals with a personal best score of 6595. Look for Weinstock to contribute team points in different sprint and hurdle events as well as relays for the Bears.
Another multi-event prospect, Nealy Williams, looks to pick up the pentathlon indoors and may contribute to the team with her long hurdle experience outdoors.
Adding tremendous depth to the pole vault, three freshmen plan on making an immediate impact at the Heptagonal Indoor Championships this February. Chelsea Hartigan (12'0") comes from New Jersey with plenty of national experience, competing in Nike Indoor Nationals and Penn Relays during her senior season. Hanna McPhee hails from Massachusetts with a personal best of 11'0" and will add depth and competitiveness to the female vaults group.
Sean Igelman from Oregon comes in with a personal best 14'11" that could begin to contribute to the men's total team points for some time.

Transfer News: Swansea's Huw Jenkins frustrated with Wilfried Bony deal
Huw Jenkins admits Swansea are becoming 'frustrated' in their chase for Vitesse Arnhem striker Wilfried Bony.
By Graeme Bailey - Tweet me: @graemebailey
Last Updated: 05/07/13 9:29am
The Swans are understood to be close to agreeing terms with the player, but despite lengthy negotiations are seemingly unable to come to agreement with Vitesse.
Jenkins has now admitted that the Premier League club may have to consider going for their 'plan B'.
"It's very difficult and gradually we are becoming frustrated," Jenkins told De Telegraaf.
"If it does not work with Bony we need to go for our plan B."
Bony, for his part, somewhat reluctantly returned to pre-season training with Vitesse on Wednesday, and he would not comment on his future.
"At the moment it is unwise to say anything," said Bony.
Meanwhile, Jenkins also revealed that the club had backed away from FC Twente forward Nacer Chadli because the player was not ready to commit.
"The player wants to wait, so we shifted the interest to others," said Jenkins.
Bony, 24, has already confirmed he would be more than happy to move to South Wales, and Michael Laudrup would be pleased to have him or even Chadli.
"Actually I should not talk about players who are not here," said Laudrup in De Telegraaf.
"But everyone knows that we are looking at forwards across Europe, and those two [Chadli and Bony] have done very well in the league. They are both interesting players."

Nelson Symposium discusses local government liability under federal law
by Troy Hillier
On Feb. 12, local and national experts gathered at the UF Hilton for the Richard E. Nelson Symposium, with this year's event titled, "Local Government Liability Under Federal Law: Regulating the Sacred and the Profane." Dean Robert Jerry began the event by expressing his appreciation for the symposium's namesake, whose generosity made it possible to bring Professor Michael Allan Wolf to UF Law as the Richard E. Nelson Chair in Local Government Law.
Wolf then stepped to the podium and began by offering an analogy. He suggested that local government attorneys could find their ancient Greek equal in the muse Cassandra, who could tell the future, but never convince anyone of its truth. "So imagine you, Cassandra-like, trying to explain the due process clause to lay people," Wolf said, stating that it's not easy to get lay people to understand that, in law, words like 'Congress' may not mean what they think.
If that wasn't enough to deal with, those Cassandras must also deal with voters, who Wolf analogized to sirens. "One of the toughest tasks that local governments have is to resist the insiders," Wolf said, noting that individuals will often pressure their governments to pass unconstitutional measures. His solution to dealing with the sirens was a fitting one. "Put wax in your ears," Wolf said." "Well, leave them open a little, after all, they deserve to be heard."
Ashira Ostrow, a professor at Hofstra University School of Law, took the podium next to speak about the 'sacred' side of things. This was represented by discussion of the fairly recent Federal RLUIPA statute (Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Person Act). While Ostrow, who holds a bachelor's in religion in addition to her JD, discussed RLUIPA directly, she also discussed how it could be a model for land use planning as a whole.
The problem with contemporary zoning, Ostrow said, is that it usually lacks objective guidelines. As such, important decisions are often highly discretionary and suffer from "NIMBYism" – NIMBY meaning 'not in my backyard.' However, challenges brought under RLUIPA face stricter standards when as-applied challenges are brought, and Ostrow suggested that such a system would benefit zoning as a whole. "RLUIPA is important not only for religious land uses," she said, "but for what it says about the land use process."
Ostrow recognized the deferential the deferential standard created in the landmark zoning case of Village of Euclid v. Ambler Realty, but also noted that Euclid was a facial challenge to the constitutionality of the zoning statute. Ostrow suggested that courts follow the case of Nectow v. City of Cambridge more often, as that case suggested a much less deferential standard when a challenge is applied to a specific circumstance.
Franklin Zemel, a partner at Arnstein and Lehr in Ft. Laurderdale, continued the discussion by sharing his experience in litigating these matters. Zemel told the audience of one of his clients, who were given a license to operate as a church meeting center, with the limitation that they could not provide church services. Zemel said that, in this case, one letter from him was enough to get the local government to change their seemingly illogical position.
Zemel applauded that local government for correcting their mistake, and then told the audience what often happens to those that insist on litigating the matter. Since prevailing parties are often able to recover attorney's fees in these cases, judgments against local governments can get very expensive. Zemel highlighted a few cases in which the judgments and attorneys fees added up to hundreds of thousands, or even millions of dollars.
Alan Weinstein, a professor at Cleveland-Marshall College of Law, and Marie Hartman, the City Attorney for Daytona Beach, spoke next. Their speeches covered the 'profane' side of things, with the focus on sexually-oriented businesses and how they can be regulated. Weinstein explained that such regulations are seen as content-neutral as long as the regulation is done for to reduce the crime associated with such businesses, and then sought to show that such a correlation does exist. Hartman followed, detailing the long road that Daytona Beach has traveled in their attempts to regulate sexually-oriented businesses in the city.
Students took the stage next, as 3L Tara Nelson and 2L Dwayne Robinson, discussed recent statutes and court decisions. Asmara Tekle, a professor at the Thurgood Marshall School of Law, and Steven Wernick, an attorney at Bilzin Sumberg Baena Price & Axelrod in Miami, capped off the event by discussing sex offender residency requirements.
This was the ninth symposium honoring Richard E. Nelson– who served with distinction as Sarasota County attorney for 30 years–and Jane Nelson, two loyal UF alumni who gave more than $1 million to establish the Richard E. Nelson Chair in Local Government Law, which sponsors the annual event. Their support of the Levin College of Law's Environmental and Land Use Program has been key to the program's success and national recognition for excellence.

Evolution Hoax
Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Interview on A9 TV dated November 2, 2011
"The woman whose house it was," who does the woman live with? With the Prophet Joseph (pbuh). "The woman whose house it was," she lives in the same house as the Prophet Joseph (pbuh). In their eyes, may Allah forbid, the Prophet Joseph (pbuh) sins. Allah says they live in the same house. The woman wanders round normally, uncovered. "She solicited him. She barred the doors and said, 'Come over here'!" She wants to make love with him. "He said, 'Allah is my refuge!" Why does he seek refuge in Allah? He says he will not engage in sexual relations with her. "Because He is my Lord and has been good to me with where I live. Those who do wrong will surely not succeed."
"She wanted him…," my forebear, the Prophet Joseph (pbuh) was highly attractive. All the prophets are very attractive. Their beauty has a huge impact on women. The Prophet Moses (pbuh) was the same. That is even in Pharaoh's inscriptions. Idiots with donkey-minds. Look, they were not able to there. They say; "The scholar and sorcerer Yahuda is very expert in influencing women. It says the Prophet Moses (pbuh) is very expert. Look, they become tongue-tied. They have to admit it. Masha'Allah to the Prophet Moses (pbuh), my forebearer. "The woman wanted him," because he [the Prophet Joseph(pbuh)] was so attractive. "and he would have wanted her, had he not seen the Clear Proof of his Lord." Who forbade him to stay in the same room, or to look at her and who forbade adultery, or sexual relations. He saw her and wanted her, but he did not enter into sexual relations. They were in the same place, but he avoided vice and adultery. "That happened so We might avert from him all evil and lust. He was Our chosen servant."

Hello Everyone,
I am writting an extension that will be installed as a wildcard script map on Exchange's CAS Role machine. It will be installed on the virtual directory /Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync.
The actual handler on this virtual directory is AirSync.dll. As far as I know, It maintains a network connection with SmartPhone devices (ActiveSync compliant- Window Mobile, iPhone etc.)
I would like to know-
1.Is it possible to install the Wildcard ISAPI Extension, such that It is called on every request it receives from devices, and then safely forward the request to its original handler (AirSync) using HSE_REQ_EXEC_URL ?
2.Will installing an ISAPI Extension on virtual directory /Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync, allow the actual handler to maintain the Network connection with devices ?
Will greatly appreciate the help ...

One of the reasons Americans are by nature optimistic is that they seem to believe that there is no problem on earth to which there is not at least one technological solution.
State politicians are now actively engaged in addressing the mass murder in Sandy Hook where, more than a month ago, a gunman fired upon school children, killing 20 children and 6 staff members at Sandy Hook Elementary School, and some critics have attacked a few of the legislative solutions so far offered because they regard them as non-solutions.
Two state legislators, Representative Bob Godfrey and Senator Beth Bye, have written a bill that imposes a 50 percent tax on the total sale of ammunition, a non-solution that struck a chord in the heart of Democratic Majority Leader Martin Looney, who observed, "A gun without ammunition is only a club. We really need to restrict access to ammunition." But of course; and a car without gas is a stationary art piece. Wishing that every rifle in Connecticut were a club is a form of magic thinking that will do little to reduce gun crimes in the real world.
Mr. Looney, who has been leading gun control efforts in the Democratic dominated State Senate, recently has announced that a bill addressing the slaughter in Sandy Hook will bypass the usual public hearing process and be sent to the governor for his signature though an emergency certification process, a strategy that will obviate legislative oversight and leave no unsightly fingerprints on a final bill produced in General Assembly backrooms by legislative leaders. Too many fingerprints on legislation might imperil re-election efforts by removing vague assertions of approval. The Looney gambit can only succeed by enlisting the support of a governor armed with veto power.
It is one thing to know or think you know, and it is quite a different thing to know that you know. We should be modest about what we know concerning the events at Sandy Hook. So far, criminal investigators have released no definitive findings on the mass murder. After all the data has been presented, certified and sifted, all of us can begin seriously to ponder the problem and offer effective solutions. Until that time arrives, we are building our Looney castles on sand.
In proposing solutions that would in the view of Governor Dannel Malloy and others prevent future Sandy Hooks, we should first agree that the chief problem is the unauthorized use of guns; or, to put it in police terms, guns falling into the hands of criminals.
Pending a final report on Sandy Hook, there is some reason to believe that the shooter illicitly acquired the weapons he used at Sandy Hook Elementary School. If Adam Lanza's mother had permitted her son's use of her weapons to slaughter children at an elementary school, Mr. Lanza need not have murdered her.
We think we know that Mr. Lanza had at his disposal, two semi-automatic pistols, a shotgun, which he may have left in the car he took from his mother, and a Bushmaster long gun, a semi-automatic capable of firing 30 rounds from a dischargeable magazine. According to one news report not yet verified by crime investigators, Mr. Lanza changed his magazines after firing 15 rounds.
Could there be a technological solution to gun crime? Is it possible to engineer solution to the unauthorized possession of weapons?
If the weapons Mr. Lanza acquired, presumably without the approval of his mother, had been inoperable, children's lives might have been saved. To put it in terms used by Mr. Looney: If the disarmed weapons used by Mr. Lanza were clubs, the slaughter might have been averted.
Present law requires weapons to be securely locked up and unavailable to unauthorized users. Suppose – just to suppose – that the gun safeties on most weapons were to be replaced by a lock operated by a fingerprint or a swipe card, the weapon rendered inoperable after purchase until activated by its owner each time it is used. That kind of technological solution to the problem of the unauthorized use of stolen weapons or illicitly acquired weapons– or some more practical method that would prevent any but an authorized user from discharging the weapon -- would be far more helpful in averting Sandy Hook mass murders than a tax on bullets, supposed by some to be a craven attempt to raise needed revenue that would not affect the illicit purchase of weapons or bullets.
Creating such a technological solution – not necessarily those suggested above-- that would render a firearm inoperable to anyone but an authorized purchaser ought to be a snap for a country that can put a rover on Mars. Where there is a will, there is a way; and where there is a demonstrable need, there is money to be made by some energetic and creative weapons manufacturer.
We already know that not every sociological or economic problem here in the land of Alexander Graham Bell, Henry Ford, Samuel Morse, Orville and Wilber Wright and Samuel Colt yields to legislation.
Sometimes it takes an engineer to carve a path out of the wilderness to a safe and secure future.

Top 5 Reasons Expedition Races Struggle In The U.S.
The article, written by AWM editor Clay Abney, defines an expedition race as being at least 72 hours in length. Clay says that it's not a true expedition race unless sleep strategy comes into play, and I tend to agree with him. Heck, with some of the top teams in the world, even racing for three days without sleep isn't a major issue. Still, the three day events means that it takes more than a weekend to complete the course, and with the rise of so many 12, 24, and 36 hour races, you have to make a distinction somewhere.
Amongst the five reasons that Adventure World feels that expedition races struggle in the U.S. are expenses and an overly large list of mandatory gear. Clay acknowledges that these races are expensive to produce, which forces entry fees to go up. But when you factor in travel costs, the price of buying all the gear needed for the event, and possibly having to pay for a support crew as well, and the costs go up quickly. If you're coming in from Australia or Europe, international airfare will hit the bottom line very hard as well.
Clay also cites redundancy as an issue, as some races recycle the same venue on a yearly basis. He also points out that at times the AR calendar can be quite full, which means they cannibalize one another in terms of the number of teams that can race in each event. 40 teams that can race in two events well spread out will be forced to choose one over the other if they are scheduled too close to one another. Add a third event to the mix, and teams will elect to simply compete in the race that is closest to home.
One very interesting reason that these races struggle, in Clay's opinion, is that they are not strategically located. He notes that most of these major races take place in the western U.S., and for good reason. The wilderness is scenic and spectacular, and there are plenty of great venues to host a course. But he also points out that more than half of the U.S. population lives within 500 miles of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, which opens it up to being a great destination for a big race provided the proper course is designed there. An expedition race held in the eastern part of the U.S. would at least have a large population base to draw from, which holds a certain appeal as well.
This article comes on the heals of the news that a new expedition race has been announced for Idaho next summer and follows the Gear Junkie's recent open letter to race directors imploring them to make some changes to their races.
I love the discussion and buzz that has come up around the sport in recent weeks as it seems that people are looking forward to 2011, and what appears to be a prosperous year ahead. With the future looking bright, it does seem like a good time to examine what works and what doesn't for the sport.

The Shawangunks just outside of NYC in New Paltz beg for an expedition level race. Beautiful topography, challenging terrain, access to major airports and the NYC media are all positives. It could be hosted at the Mohonk Mountain House.
Just a thought
Expedition races struggle because inherently they don't make much sense. Now that the initial hullabaloo has worn off, people realize:
For 1/10th the money they can simply do the same course themselves, with whatever teammates they want, with whatever gear works best, at the proper time of year, and ... get a good night's sleep! Way more fun. If you want to race, there are plenty of much more competitive races in each discipline.
A few top teams used to make money, but that's mostly gone now. Everybody else is naturally wondering why pay $$$ for what's mostly a suffer-fest. "Challenging yourself" only works for so long.

Soaring attendance at Vatican events since Francis' election
c. 2014 Religion News Service
ROME (RNS) Some 735,000 people attended Vatican events during each of the nine months of Pope Francis' papacy, according to information released Thursday (Jan. 2) by the Holy See. It's the highest average recorded in recent years.
Attendance at Vatican events — which includes Masses and other celebrations, but not tourism to St. Peter's Basilica or the Vatican Museums — usually surges during the first year of a new papacy or during special church celebrations.
But the 735,000 monthly attendance tally outpaced the average of around 500,000 visitors per month in 2005 after Pope Benedict XVI's election, or the average of 710,000 monthly visitors during the 2000 jubilee year.
The rising attendance at the Vatican shows no signs of abating: Attendance at Masses during the Christmas season set new records, the Italian press reported, despite rainy weather for much of the period. It may be due to the "Francis effect," which includes the soaring popularity in Italy for the name Francesco, the Italian version of the pontiff's name; increased tourism to Rome from the pope's native Argentina; and a rise in church attendance across Italy.

What time am I supposed to decant. Or how long before supper do I open a bottle and have it be as it should?
1999 Domaine du Pesquier Gigondas Cork 14% Opened an hour before supper. Started with large sting of pepper, some tannin and not much else. Decided it was too cold and put down for half an hour. It had opened and some flavors of spice had come on, but it still seemed way out of balance. Was the wine too old? Another half hour went by, we started supper of fish, and it seemed to be getting better. About half hour into the meal, it was suddenly in balance, lovely fruit, a generous mid section, a really nice wine. It stayed that way all evening. A day later we finished the bottle. It was ok but it lost a bit of its sole over the day. I would have thought this wine would be almost over the hill but instead required long cellaring to show its potential. It is 13 years old.
1996 Simi Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon Sonoma County Cork 13.5% I assumed this was at its peak. I opened and found it had spicy charecteristics found in Rhones. It tasted ok, but did not taste like a Northern California Cab. We opened another bottle and let sit. Three hours of decanting found it in grove. A lovely elegant Cab, medium bodied, translucent red with no sign of aging. It was yummy and it had come home from it's apparent trip to France. It was still great a couple of hours later when I closed the bottle.
2005 Burgess Napa Valley Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Plastic Cork 14.4% Upon opening, noticed oak and tannin. Thought I might have to dig out slivers from the tannin which was a bit bitter. There was some fruit, and the lamb covered up some of its problems. It was ok. It did not improve with decanting time. For me, maybe I am no longer used to younger wines, but 7 years used to be considered ideal for Napa Cab such as this. It was a generous bottle not withstanding for my friend to bring.
My wife and I clearly enjoyed the Simi the best with the Gigondas yesterday in second place. What I cannot figure out is why these old relatively bottles that reviewers etc say should be on their last days, are appearing to be years away because of the extensive decanting required. Any comments?

Microsoft had its annual financial analyst meeting on Thursday, and Steve Ballmer answered questions about what the company's answer to the iPad was going to be, and whether Windows Phone 7 was going to be a part of that product strategy. He said, "We're coming . . . We're coming full guns. The operating system is called Windows." Ballmer and Microsoft so don't get it. I can't believe Steve Ballmer is making me feel sorry for Microsoft.

The Clock Tower Resort's CoCo Key water park will remain closed until March 1 for maintenance, according to its web site.
The Register Star reported in mid-January that the Clock Tower had lost its Best Western affiliation and the resort's management was undertaking a series of repairs and upgrades for the nearly 50-year-old property.
That included shutting down the only indoor water park in Boone, Ogle, Stephenson and Winnebago counties during the crucial winter months for much needed maintenance and repairs.
The original plan called for the water park to be closed from Jan. 6 to at least Feb. 7. But the CoCo Key website (www.cocokeyrockford.com) says the water park will remain closed until March 1.
We have an email into management of the 250-room resort to ask about the repairs.

Message from the UH Manoa Chancellor regarding influenza statusUniversity of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
Director of Communications
Mahalo to the University Health Services (UHS) for their service today in light of the one UH Mānoa student testing positive for H1N1 Influenza A virus, as reported yesterday. UHS saw slightly more than 50 people today with a variety of health concerns; in those individuals with influenza symptoms, no Influenza A virus was detected based on the rapid detection test.
That is reassuring. However, because H1N1 virus is in the community, all of us must remain vigilant and continue to take necessary precautions to prevent infection and spread (see http://www.manoa.hawaii.edu). Also, if you have influenza symptoms (flu always causes a fever, and is often accompanied by cough, sore throat, fatigue and aches/pains), seek medical care, and practice social isolation by staying at home or in your on-campus residence hall or dorm room to prevent spread of the disease.
UHS will resume its regular schedule and be closed on Sunday. It will be open at 7:45 a.m. on Monday morning (see http://www.hawaii.edu/shs).
Chancellor Virginia S. Hinshaw

I shined a blue flashlight on my Lego castle and started to notice some very strange phenomenon! Some green pieces seemed to glow far brighter than the rest of the green in the landscape for some reason! Then I noticed the trans colored pieces glowed brilliantly! And just recently I discovered that several of my reddish brown pieces turn red under the blue light! I posted several photos on Flickr for those interested in this little investigation of mine!
Also worth noting but unphotographed, I got a yellow flower piece to turn pink while all the others turned yellow green.
So, fine people of classic castle, have you ever noticed any strange color changes in your Legos when subjected to different colors of artificial light? And what do all of you think about this strange phenomenon?

BRISTOL, Tenn. - The 2010-11 King College women's wrestling season got started Saturday with a pair of important victories for the Lady Tornado program. The day began with King beating Missouri Baptist University 31-10 and King finished things with a 34-7 decision over the University of the Cumberlands (Ky.).
King was able to knock off two national powers on Saturday. At the 2010 WCWA National Championship, Cumberlands finished second with Missouri Baptist a close fourth. The Lady Tornado was 10th in the initial season for the program at King.
In the finale versus Cumberlands, King scored a quick 13 points. Lisa Martinez (Amarillo, Texas) contributed three in a 3-0 and 3-0 victory over Opelia Felipe. Emily Martin (Frisco, Texas) scored five with a fall against Jessica Nguyen, ranked No. 6 in the 48 kilogram weight class by the WCWA. Anna Cummings (Syracuse, N.Y.) collected a fall victory over Katie Clemens to make the score 13-0.
Kayla Bartosch (Triangle, Va.) tacked on three points after coming back, 2-4, 3-1 and 2-1 against Milagros Zamora in a 55 kg match which made the team score 16-1. A pair of forfeits gave King 10 more points.
Freshman Alli Ragan (Carbondale, Ill.) used 1-0 and 3-0 scores to add three more points to King's total.
Cumberlands got six points in the next two matches until an upset in the 90 kg contest. Marina Lambert (Chesapeake, Va.) knocked off Lakia Henderson with a fall. Henderson came into the day ranked No. 2 in the weight class nationally.
The Lady Tornado started the season with Missouri Baptist and scored the first 10 points via forfeits. Missouri Baptist got points from Caitlin Chase and Erica Poe in the 51 kg and 55 kg contests. After a forfeit victory in the 59 kg went to King, Ragan picked up a decision 3-0 and 6-0 over Alexis Walker. Haylee Childs (Lakeland, Fla.) was a winner in the 67 kg match, 6-2 and 7-0. To end the wrestling, Amber Floyd (Rancho Cucamonga, Calif.) defeated Shamaine Danner 8-2 and 7-0 in the 80 kg bout.
Next for the Lady Tornado will be a date with defending WCWA National Champion, Oklahoma City University on Oct. 30 in Oklahoma City. Besides the wrestling national power, King also has matches against Wayland Baptist (Texas) University and Lindenwood (Mo.) University on the same day.
Earlier in the day Cumberlands beat Missouri Baptist by a slim 23-19 score.

Bolt Prospects' draft coverage begins with the goaltending position, which has been a perennial sore spot since the founding of the franchise. With the exception of short runs by Darren Puppa in the early days of the team and Nikolai Khabibulin leading up to the team's Stanley Cup run in 2003-2004, the Lightning have always seemed to face uncertainty between the pipes. The inability of the team to draft and develop goaltenders has been central to this frustration, as the best the Lightning have been able to do is short runs as NHL backup goaltenders by the likes of Zac Bierk, Frederik Norrena, and Karri Ramo [9]. An examination of the Lightning's draft picks reveals a large reason why the Lightning have had such little success: since the team's inception, they've only expended top-60 picks on goaltenders twice -- on Tyler Moss in 1993 and on Riku Helenius [10] in 2006.
Surveying the team's current situation, even after the acquisition of 24-year-old Anders Lindback [11] from Nashville, uncertainty still rules the day. Lindback is a huge, athletic specimen selected in the seventh round of the 2008 NHL Entry Draft. But, he's an unknown quantity as an NHL starter with just 31 NHL decisions to his name. Behind Lindback the Lightning look likely to retain journeyman veteran Mathieu Garon [12], who has remained the definition of streakiness throughout his career and who becomes a UFA in the summer of 2013. In the system, the Lightning have unprecedented depth at the position, but lack any players who might be considered a "sure thing." The team got a huge bonus with the sudden re-emergence of Helenius with JYP this past season. Helenius' play was sublime en-route to an SM-liiga championship, but it's a real question mark what the team will do with the big butterfly goalie. If he doesn't find a way to take Garon's job in camp, will he push to go back to Europe for a season or will he force another good prospect out of ice time at the AHL level?
Fresh off an AHL championship, Dustin Tokarski [13] finds himself in the unenviable position of needing to climb over both Garon and Helenius to get to the NHL this season. Tokarski fell flat in his audition with the Lightning late in the year, but it's hard to match the kind of numbers he put up with Norfolk in the Eastern Conference Finals and Calder Cup Finals. Behind Tokarski was Jaroslav Janus [14], arguably the organization's most athletic goaltending prospect. He shined down the stretch of the year and in brief action in the playoffs, but desperately needs starting minutes to take the next step in his development. Could a stint in Europe be in Janus' future? At the ECHL level, forgotten prospect Pat Nagle [15] had an underwhelming rookie year and sat backup for most of Florida's Kelly Cup championship run.
Where the Lightning should feel some urgency going into this draft is in looking at what they have behind their glut of 22-24 year old netminder prospects, which is not much. The team drafted Adam Wilcox [16] last year, and he's set to begin his career at the University of Minnesota next year, but that's it. Wilcox is an athletic young long shot who was trapped for much of the past two years in a backup role for Green Bay of the USHL before being traded to Tri-City, where he performed well but struggled to register victories behind a lesser Storm club.
There's two schools of thought when it comes to drafting goaltenders. One says it's foolish to use high picks on a position that often doesn't reach maturity until well over a half decade after selection. This view is supported by the high number of NHLers like Lindback who were not high picks. The other school of thought says that, based on the numbers, your highest chances of finding an NHL starter is still in the top-60 picks. Looking for clues on what Steve Yzerman's philosophy might be, it's important to note that current Red Wings starter Jimmy Howard was taken just outside the top-60, and the Wings have only used one top-60 pick on a goaltender in their last 10 drafts. So, Yzerman appears to come from the first school of thought. Still, the need to fill holes behind the current pro-level prospects the team has and the lingering uncertainty the team has in nets at the NHL level could still lead to the Lightning using one of their high picks on a blue chip goaltender prospect. With that in mind, here are the three goaltenders we think have a chance of hearing their name called on Day One:
G Andrey Vasilevski, 6'3" 204 lbs, Ufa Jr. (RUS Jr.), Catches: Left
CSS #1 European Goaltender, ISS #3 Goaltender, RLR #10 Overall, THN #21 Overall, TSN #24 Overall
If his name was Andy Smith, Andrey Vasilevski would probably be a serious threat to go in the lottery portion of the first round. As it is, the young man, who may be the finest goaltending prospect Russia has ever produced, is speculated to be a mid first round to early second round selection. His game is outstanding, with great athleticism and size balanced by calm positioning and mechanics and the kind of rebound control you rarely see from a young prospect. He does sometimes play too deep in his crease, like many young goalies, and he struggles handling the puck, but he's drawn comparisons to Carey Price for a reason. He's good. The problem is, the team that selects Vasilevski will likely have to leave him in Russia to develop for several seasons before bringing him to North America, unless Vasilevski, and Ufa, for that matter, consent to letting him come play junior hockey in North America. That's quite the gamble for any team, but perhaps less so for one that holds a pair of first round picks?
G Malcolm Subban, 6'1" 188 lbs, Belleville (OHL), Catches: Left
CSS #1 North American Goaltender, ISS #2 Goaltender, RLR #69 Overall, THN #48 Overall, TSN #25 Overall
One of the real wild cards of the draft is Malcolm Subban of Belleville, brother of Canadiens defenseman P.K. Subban. Opinions vary wildly about the goaltender, who is seen as the most athletic and acrobatic in this class. Probably relating to his current inconsistency, some teams like his positioning and technique and some teams believe him to be a flopper who relies far too much on his reflexes and athleticism to bail him out. One thing all scouts seem to agree upon is Subban's glove hand needs considerable improvement, as does his rebound control and puck handling. The team that takes Subban will do so believing they have the goaltending coach to hone Subban into a diamond. Given the Lightning's long term struggles in goal, is that really Tampa Bay?
G Oscar Dansk, 6'2" 186 lbs, Brynas Jr. (SWE Jr.), Catches: Left
CSS #2 European Goaltender, ISS #1 Goaltender, RLR #31 Overall, THN #44 Overall, TSN #35 Overall
Every season there seems to be a late mover from the European ranks based on their U18 World Junior Championships performance and this year's may be Oscar Dansk. Dansk isn't your typical European, though, as he spent two years in prep hockey at Shattuck St. Mary's in North America before heading back to Sweden this past season. Although he was somewhat ordinary for Brynas' junior team, he was excellent in four starts for Sweden in the U18's before the team ended their tournament with a 7-0 defeat to USA in the Gold Medal Match. He has most of the tools you want in a goaltender, with good size, positioning, and mechanics. Like many young goalies, he needs to work on his rebound control and puck handling, but there's a lot to like with Dansk. And, with Dansk likely to return to North America to play Canadian junior hockey next year, he seems to be less of a risk than Vasilevski or even Malcolm Subban.

Is it time to pay college athletes? YES
Arguably the most debated topic the NCAA has to deal with these days is the matter of whether college student-athletes should be paid.
The specifics of the debate are very wide-ranging, and determining whether the specifics of amateurism need to be changed is the primary task at hand. People who want college athletes to be paid want the following question answered: if athletic departments, conferences, executives, coaches and the NCAA itself can earn money from collegiate athletics, why can't the athletes themselves earn money in the process?
College athletes should be paid, so I want that question answered, too.
I cannot simply understand how the lucrative nature surrounding the intrigue of college athletics does not compensate the source of the intrigue itself.
As a society, we are intrigued by college athletics, first, because of our passion for sports. Beyond that starting point, the intrigue about the athletes themselves comes from the athletes' family and friends who support them and then from the staff, students and alumni of the colleges and universities that the athletes attend.
So why does all of the money which is spent by family, friends and fans on supporting college athletes end up in the hands of everyone involved except for the athletes?
It makes no sense.
The premise of amateurism in this debate, to me, is meaningless. All I know is that if I were spending time and effort into a craft and others were profiting at my expense, I would be furious.
Who cares about the definition of amateurism? We all know various facets of college sports are corrupt to begin with, so why pretend like amateurism is a perfect concept maintained since its inception? It isn't. Not even close.
Who cares about others' insistence saying 'that's the way we've always done it?' Change is a good thing. A lot of people don't like it, but that doesn't mean it won't improve their lives.
The matter of not compensating college athletes is something which needs to be changed.
According to Forbes, the following pair of truths exist in college athletics:
• In 40 of the 50 U.S. states, the highest-paid public employee is either the head football coach of that state's university football or men's basketball team
• The average salary for a BCS-eligible football coach was $2.05 million Plus, a record 40 postseason bowl games are in place for NCAA Division I football
If the NCAA receives $10.8 billion from CBS and Turner Sports to broadcast March Madness, a three-week basketball tournament, I'm pretty sure somehow college athletes can be paid.
If the athletic director at Ohio State can make an $18,000 bonus for a wrestler on the Ohio State team winning a national championship, I'm pretty sure somehow college athletes can be paid.
I'm not saying college sports exist so entities such as the NCAA and athletics department make money. Clearly, they have recognized the opportunity to capitalize and have done so. But the foundation of college sports, the athletes, need to be able to capitalize, too.
I have routinely heard national media members label college football head coaches as "CEOs" of their respective teams. If that is the label they choose, so be it. I can't stop them. But I do know this: in all other American companies led by CEOs which generate revenue, their employees receive compensation for putting in the time and effort to produce that revenue. So why can't college athletes?
I should clarify my stance on one of the most polarizing developments on the issue of amateurism in college athletics.
Student-athletes on the University of Northwestern football team recently attempted successfully to make progress toward forming a union so that they could be considered employees in order to receive benefits often associated with other labor unions our society is familiar with. Although more steps in the process need to fall their way, these student-athletes at Northwestern are prodding the foundation of the NCAA.
Even though I enjoy when the NCAA is put on its heels, I would rather see the end result of college athletes being paid come from a change of heart by the NCAA, not via a successful attempt to pour all college athletes into a union.
I would prefer not to see college athletes have rights to negotiate health benefits, apply for medical compensation and receive post-career compensation.
Even though I don't believe unionizing college athletes is best, they still deserve to be compensated.

NeoScale web man posts Better Off Dead invoice
'I want my $4,400'
Posted in Bootnotes, 13th December 2007 14:26 GMT
Think of it as the technology world's equivalent of the Better Off Dead newspaper boy hunting down his $2.
Earlier this week, the website of encryption specialist Neoscale displayed the following message.
NeoScale owes its webmaster, of the last 5 years, $4400 USD
The message appeared just as UK-based security outfit nCipher announced that it had acquired some of NeoScale's assets, including technology and employees. It would seem, however, that at least one of NeoScale's former contractors didn't get taken care of as the company sold off its good bits.
An nCipher spokeswoman told The Register that an employee from a company called Marketing Tactics sent her a number of invoices, seeking compensation for work done on behalf of NeoScale - a company with $40m in funding . The spokeswoman informed the chap that nCipher would not be handling the invoices, since it was only purchasing NeoScale assets and not existing liabilities.
The Marketing Tactics fella responded as he saw fit, posting both the note about the webmaster fees and the nCipher spokeswoman's response on the NeoScale website.
Both notices have since been removed with NeoScale.com now redirecting to nCipher.com, although you can see trails of the web anger via a search.
I want my $4,000
"Lots of things are going to come out of the woodwork (during an acquisition)," the nCipher spokeswoman told us. "But we bought NeoScale's assets from a company called Hercules Technology. We didn't buy the business or take on any of their liabilities.
"It's very unfortunate that they haven't paid their webmaster." ®

Hobart sophomore Devin Worthington earned a spot on the D3football.com preseason All-America second team. The linebacker is the only sophomore among the 22 first and second team defense selections.
The 2010 Liberty League Rookie of the Year, Worthington finished third on the team and eighth in the conference with 74 tackles (8.2/g). A lightning quick and elusive pass rusher, he led the conference and ranked fifth in the nation in tackles for a loss (2.11/g) and led the conference and ranked eighth in the nation in sacks (1.11/g). Worthington registered 10 tackles in each of his first two collegiate games, posting a season-high three sacks at Carnegie Mellon. He logged a season-high 12 tackles, including 2.5 for a loss, in a double overtime victory against Union.
In addition to earning the conference's top rookie award, Worthington garnered first team All-East honors from D3football.com and first team All-Liberty League praise. At the 2011 Block H Awards Dinner, he took home the Rookie Award for Football and the Abe Solomon Memorial Rookie Award, presented to Hobart Athletics' Rookie of the Year.
The Statesmen, 5-4 in 2010, will kick off the 2011 season on Saturday, Sept. 3, at Dickinson. Hobart handled the Red Devils 38-7 last season. Dickinson leads the all-time series 10-9-1, hasn't lost to the Statesmen in Carlisle, Pa., since 2005 (21-0).
