the sad thing is i'm seeing here everybody is like "well i hope this happens in the anime!!!! GRR WHY DID IT HAPPEN LIKE THIS [IN THE ANIME]" as if it were going to take a drastically different direction from the manga
meanwhile the manga readers can be like "haha what a bunch of dopes"

I don't know why people keep bringing up long-running series like Maison Ikkoku to relate to School Rumble long-windedness. For one, I'm not sure how you can even put Kobayashi Jin (School Rumble) anywhere near the same level as Rumiko Takahashi (Ranma 1/2, Maison Ikkoku, Inuyasha, Urusei Yatsura).
Rumiko Takahashi anime series could run for seemingly forever because of her immense popularity. She's one of the best known and influential mangaka outside of Japan. Can we say the same for Kobayashi Jin?
If SR does not conclude in Term2, there is no guarantee that there will be a Term3. So many anime series which ought to have another season did not have one. So rather than an ending that has no meaning (SR Term 1 ending), I'd rather Term2 deviate from the manga and have a proper conclusion.

dam im soo late >.< ahh well heres my 2 cents:
great ep showing eri's fragile side (or up until the end) harima is such a charmer...whenever eri is near him she is hopelessly seduced but i did find it kinda flat...i think this ep was a bit more serious that previous ones...
but with that sed i loved it nontheless
^ owned XD

but like what many said, dont expect much ROMANTIC development from this series or else it will spell the end. I mean, its frustrating but its still fun to watch for me. and as long as I'm still enjoying, the frustrations are manageable.

Ranma only had moments, the ride was fun, but it became extremely repeatative. And there was absolutely no character developement. Im sorry I just have to say this, Inu yasha was the biggest piece of crap out there, and what kind of last episode was that? Extremely long running series like these two usually turn me off I end up stop watching it, a 4 season series I can endure (kenshin comes to mind) but, once I feel that it wont end anytime soon I bail ship, just like I did with bleach. It was a fun watch until they start going nuts with the whole vampire shit. Anyways, all in all I dont see SR going into that direction of 200 episodes. If anything I sorta see it ending with OVAs at the end of this season.
Yeah... I do hate series that should have another season but havent yet does suck... like FMP: TSR... omg great great great show. But, where is the follow up with Tessa's brother? hes still alive >:|

Well, first of Ranma the time in Ranma was the most crap I have ever seen, they celebrated like 3-5 christmases but they never graduated. Time stood still... the only thing I really enjoyed with that show was the comedy.
School Rumble have atleast the right time perspective. I dont mind if it gets +50 episodes more, atleast as it is entertaining. Ofcourse I dont want it to get repetive. But I have high expectations from SR. Most likely it will end at 2nd term is over or it will also show the third term.
Now to the episode, it was a very good episode. One of the best this season.

i think SR should just wrap up this season...cause a 3rd season would be milking it a bit to far...it would become repetitive >.<
btw i thought that the 2nd ED isnt as great as the first ED for the 2nd season...the first one grew on me a lot

the best answer for SR is to deviate from the manga... out of my frustration i actually searched like hell and read that shit and guess what ladies and gentlemen; STILL NO DEVELOPMENT TILL NOW. if they deviate, they might give us a good ending or quasi ending... have karasuma get together with tenma or have him move, so Harima will grow/develop just do something within this last 9 episodes so the show doesnt sink to mediocrity, because if it does, it will affect our perspectives on season 1.

I don't think there's a chance in hell that they'll deviate from the manga. It's likely they'll continue following the manga, not finish SR at season 2, and then, depending on sales, decide if it's worth it to make a season 3.
After all, if I were running a studio company, that's what I'd do. On the other hand, as a fan, I hate it.

i don't see how harima can change to have a romantic interest in anyone in 9 episodes. he seems to the character that never grows, while everyone around him is developing (including even tenma). i wouldn't mind a third season since it's entertaining to watch, but as people have stated, the story just doesn't really move, it's just one arc after another but harima goes back to square one after each arc.

Funny that you mention about Rumiko's work it's somewhat similiar too School Rumble how long did it take for the romance part of her manga to be resolve??? yeah... very long. While people are complaining about that in School Rumble though it's only 14 volumes so far while her work is three times longer for anything to be resolve. Now tha'ts FRUSTRATING eventhough that her manga leans a bit more on romance than School Rumble.

Well this episode pretty much confirms everything I was saying in the ep 16 discussion...No matter how much Eri-Harima development is given (mostly all misinterpretations)...Even when Harima starts to see good qualities in her and changing aspects of her personality...this is all superceded by Harima's over-the-top obsession with Tenma...If people don't get this by now i don't know what to tell you...The entire domino-effect of this episode is Harima once again being obsessed over his feelings for Tenma (From the motorcycle tire blow-out to Eri thinking "worker-san" was giving her the sexy-eye when he was thinking about Tenma)...I thought it was hysterical how he went into that room ready to sabotage the whole situation and when he sees Tenma playing as Eri he fixes his tie and it's "Game On!" (His entire thoughts on helping Eri just vanishes)...
There was good Eri flashback development in this episode and I definatley see her growth as a character, however i'm still not sure what all of it is a byproduct of since it's not progressing the endgame for the HxE dynamic...Even in the restaurant ep it seemed like Eri knew who Harima really liked...Somebody can correct me whether or not that was the intention of her actions in that ep...
Anyway some images I liked from this ep...
Gave this ep 8 out of 10 as it was good, however I think ep 15 and 16 were funnier overall...As the credits were rolling for this ep I was thinking to myself what character is kinda getting lost in all this?? My thoughts immediatley went toward Hanai, and just like that the after-ep features him...I was like damn my thoughts were answered and in really funny fashion...when that beast-racoon went ~kyuu~ and then slugged Hanai i nearly fell outta my chair...that was some comical $hit...The new endtheme was cool too and kinda right on point...Looking forward to more next ep, however it seems the story goes back to all-inclusion...I hope we atleast get to see how Harima finished his manga deadline ;(

well yeh it seems like these are like "filler" episodes which dnt really add anything to the story like if u missd them out u can stil continue the story and understand wots going on.
the only highlight for me in this ep was harimas style wen he was talking to tenma ~ he looked so different...and ooh la la xD
but yeh it seems like a popular anime. and harima's love life doesnt seem to be going anywhere. ive not read any of the manga (dnt think its avaliable in uk nor is it in english) but i hope it continues to season 3 coz i enjoy the comedy and i love the characters.
it wud be great to see more development with other factions ~ coz atm it seems to be revolved around tenma eri and harima...i dnt realy mind but with so many other characters there shud be more info and story!
wot i think will happen after ep 17 is that eri will develop more feelings for harima after his performance saving her etc. and maybe her engagement will somehow shift towards him? lol i dno she cud ask daddy to let her marry harima...haha weird but yeah~
i also think he'll call yakumo to help him again with the manga and perhaps this time he'll ask tenma (by mistake) to help also...and then she suddenly realises he likes her or something weird...just my thoughts... just gotta wait til next week to see if it happens!
and since its spose to be xmas episode all their classmates mite go out together for a big party...and some romance will be in the air ~ awwww ^^

Anyway.......I would be piss off if school rumble doesn't conclude at all. I don't care if it's gonna take 5 seasons or more to get to that conclusion, but I want it to have closure at the end. Not leaving the fans dangling with unconclusive ending like tenjou tenge.
From what i see, the manga is far from getting to the end. Things keep on going in circle over and over again. there's always some new misunderstanding between harima and other character in the story. So, as long KJ keep the comedy level high for those mishaps I really dont mind watching SR forever......
VIVA harima..!!!!!! bwahahahahahaha

By most of the comments here you'd think it wasn't...Some people think it's KGNE or something...as long as I'm laffin I'm loving...the relationship stuff is a plus, but I know it's unrealistic for me to pine over just this aspect of the show...

sigh... I think no matter how much I love the Flag faction, I'll just forget about it. I know now why ep17 irks me a bit... it's because it gave me that nagging feeling that no matter how much I wanted Eri and Harima at the end, it seems near to impossible.
Harima doesnt like Eri romantically at all - and the clues are just there. the Flag "sweet" scenes are just there to tickle the fans of that faction... just like how they did it with the Onigiri (when Yakumo have to hover over Harima on the floor in a kinda intimate form). I think it will happen what I'm afraid of:
that Harima will end up with Tenma after all.
but this is just me saying it so I wouldnt be disappointed in the end if it DOES happen. but then again, if Harima ends up with Eri, then I'd start preparing a celebratory parade downtown.

Yea... I have to agree with some of the manga-readers, etc on how many are taking SR over the top on romance...
I do understand the frustrations and all, but I think if we do see a 3rd season and whatever conclusion occurs beyond, we may all look back on these seasons and be happy with what occured along the way.
This isn't some ero-ge where the main character is liked by whoeever-whoever and a couple of other whoever's for no good reason what so ever... Might wanna do a body check (with a hockey stick) on yourselves before going overboard on how stagnate SR might seem.
In some sense this might be more for manga readers but:
Pace wise... We started at beginning of 2nd year for Tenma and Co. uhh April-ish? through summer time.... toward Fall... and approaching Christmas and New Years (episode 18-19?).
The overall story of SR hinges highly on what Karasuma does at the end of the school year (manga wise very soon sorta.. lol). Since he did say he wanted to stay an extra year (before going abroad) to check things out after that letter (tome lol) Tenma gave him.
So does Karasuma leave or stay? An interesting thing would be... if Tenma could "conclude" her story before Karasuma leaves. How? No clue, but its gonna be a large issue coming up considering the manga's place time wise in the school year.
Sooo considering all that.... I can't help but think 2nd season may end ... either outside of another significant Flag arc... or..... might end on a Flagish cliffhanger of sorts. lol Either one is ok though.
Someone mentioned that after 15 or so was lots of Flag stuff, but there is quite a bunch of non-Flag stuff between this arc and the next... soooo mmmmmmmmm lol I don't know. lol
Would I disappointed either way? Nope. I read the manga weekly so it isn't a big issue. This episode in particular I tended to like the manga version better, but there are plenty of animated parts I've liked as well.

Wow, your first impressions sound good. I can't wait for the subs.
BTW, check out the novel's cover drawn by Yoshitoshi ABe for comparison with the anime and manga art:
IMO each have their own charm, but I'm a bit biased with the novel version since I'm a bit of an ABe fan.

It's kind of funny how there are really very adverse reactions to the show. Is it really because they didn't draw the female characters as cutely as they did in the manga? I'm almost wondering if the show is poking fun at people like you (but of course, I can't say a single thing seeing that I have never read the manga)
What I can't understand is why people hate the OP I guess they prefer something cutesy and normal-coloured like Haruhi's OP. It's really YMMV with this show... I think it'll be interesting to watch just to see the viewer reactions - especially the difference between the manga fans and those who haven't read the manga.

How can anyone hate OP? OP is awesomah! ;D.
I was sceptic because of Gonzo production just like everyone, but that Keroro Gunso director (Yusuke Yamamoto) obviously knows whats he's doing. The only possible problem with future episodes might be budget limitations and then we'll probably see animation quality suffer cause of it.

Yeah. Considering how he piles in references to so many things in Keroro and still makes it funny enough for what, 3 years in running - he should be quite familiar with "what fans want".
I wonder if he'll actually make sure the lead guy gets portrayed as seriously, realistically screwed up as possible knowing very well in mind that there are many lonesome otaku/near-hikkis/hikkis (?) watching this very show.
Perhaps there's a reason behind them going for a less faithful and more er... "unbeautified" rendering of the characters. Not just less pain for the animation supervisors, maybe. Guess it's all speculation...
Edit: WHY didn't I notice this very glaring detail earlier in the OP? I love following animation production politics!!
Spoiler for for bored people :):

I had trouble getting into the manga, but I liked the first ep of the anime quite a bit. It seemed like quality work all 'round to me. The serious portrayal works for me, as do the character design, the script and the voices, and the simple yet rich overall look. And Misaki is great, in character design (moe but not too moe), character, and voice acting (Makino Yui).

I heard hikikomori is no longer a Japan-only phenomenon. We just don't call it that over here, but there are cases of teens shutting themelves away in their rooms for months and even years at a time.
I can really relate to Misaki in the manga, so I'm going to watch this. I love Satou.

Hm, this may be a little random, as I'm not sure if anyone's mentioned it...
But wasn't Jun from Rozen Maiden also a sufferer of hikikomori? I think that's when I first heard of the condition. His character was withdrawn from society and he spent all his time in his room ordering stuff online... anyway, not to get off topic, since Rozen Maiden is a different anime altogether.
On a more topic-oriented note, the premise of this series interested me. The thought of "Genshiken, but more serious" is promising. (By the way, is there going to be a second season for Genshiken?) Oh, and the opening theme is very nice. But can GONZO really pull this one off? Most of their recent works aren't exactly their "best". I wish they'd make more series like Last Exile and Gankutsuou...

Wow this is surprisingly good. At first I thought, WTF is this (not seen the manga btw), but then the way they portray things no-holds-barred (i.e. annoying bishoujo anime / game music, the way Satou constantly has ero flashbacks of Misaki --- the tissue box: GENIUS!!! :P, the undiscipline that rules Japan's public schools)
I really like the animation character designs...so people said they don't compare with the manga (I haven't yet read all comments), but its still moe, and moreso because of its beautiful simplicity...this is definitely the soft digital style I was looking for. I thought at first Misaki = loli and Satou=lolikon but then later realized she's the one with the job, after all.
This is definitely a grabber for me, hopefully like how REC and Genshiken were so satisfying as fandom/industry-related shows. Now I won't too worry about Gonzo pulling this through the shits because
1.) This isn't a CG-intensive show
2.) It isn't an adventure show where visuals matter that much.
3.) The designs are simple enough that they shouldn't screw it too badly later on (well Speedgraphers designs were the simplest in the industry and yet they f-ud that one...oh well)
Anyways, I like Gonzo, they were the fan-driven studio that weren't ashamed to pull the punches. Granted, I was surprised to see them doing this and not JC Staff.
I'm a near-hikki myself, so I can identify with a lot of the things mentioned. I actually prefer the night shift with fewer people around because people don't energize, they drain. Though psychology tests proved otherwise, I dislike other people in general, usually mainstream people. Geeks and goths I can tolerate because I know that they know that society is a load of BS. I'm really questioning if it is indeed true that animation-->otakus-->unsocial. But I also realized I am very idealistic and just cannot tolerate a lot of the masks culture imposes, especially in the more conformist asian societies. I've read people do use female friends to get hikis out of the house. I feel sorry then for any female hikis, but perhaps there are none just like there are no goth girls where I live because women are socialized more. Sometimes I wish I were born female so I could be that caring friend that gives hope to low-social-status males who were intimidated by the patriarchal system of overachievement...but then I realize if I were born female I would have been socialized very differently and would probably have not been permitted to see the nether regions of society--so that I wouldn't gain the experience and realizations to have had such a desire in the first place.
Rozen Maiden was the first anime I believe that directly addressed this condition of hikikomori. Western societies because of their individualism should have less of this problem, but then you wonder...if there are 60%+ girls in schools (check the statistics), and the population is just slightly more boys...if those boys are not in school, just where the fuck are they and what are they doing.
Enough ranting...this is a good show. I understand now why adtrw speed-quality-subbed it.

Auto Mode Power Management
How does the "auto" mode work?
- There is a process running, waiting for WoL packets to arrive.
- This process can be found as "pwrmgr" in the process list.
- In addition to this, there is a script "/usr/local/sbin/pmcd_exec.sh" which uses a feature of the pwrmgr to keep the box alive even if there is no client anymore (e.g. in case of running backups, RAID recovery, running disk format etc.).
How to keep a box alive without a client in "auto" mode?
Sometimes one wants to keep the box alive until a script running on the box finished a long time task.
If the box is running in "auto" mode (means: staying alive until the last client stops sending WoL packets), one just has to call the next line once every 3 minutes to keep the box alive:
pwrmgr -c localhost act
But how to use this, if the long time task takes more than 3 minutes to finish?
Before starting the long time task, create a file in /var/lock/ you can test for existance:
touch /var/lock/kenatonline
Then start this script as a background task (means: add a " &" when calling the script):
#!/bin/sh while [ -f /var/lock/kenatonline ] ; do /usr/local/sbin/pwrmgr -c localhost act sleep 180 done
After the long time task, delete the file:
rm /var/lock/kenatonline
The box will shutdown automatically within 3 minutes.
Of course this will only work, if the long time task is synchronous itself (means: the long time task is blocking the user input until it has finished).
Is it asynchronous, you have to find the postcondition which is true when the task finished and replace the while condition of the script above (e.g. testing for the process of the long time task).
How to wake up and keep a box alive without using Buffalos applications?
Not everyone likes to use the utilities Buffalo provided (if they are available for the intended target operating system at all).
Adopt the following script to your needs:
- Set `bcast_addr` to the broadcast address for you network segment.
- In the example is is a private class B network 10.131/24 (10.131.0.0 - 10.131.255.255, netmask 255.255.0.0)
- If your netmask is /24 (255.255.255.0), you have to replace "10.131.255" with the first three numbers of your network segment.
- Set `target_mac` to the MAC address of the box you want to wake up. Colons are optional, case does not matter. So "ABCDEF123456" and "ab:cd:ef:12:34:56" are oth valid)
- The IP-address of your LS is not relevant in the code, but the MAC is.
#!/usr/bin/env python import socket import time bcast_addr = '10.131.255.255' # broadcast address for you network target_mac = "ab:cd:ef:12:34:56" # colons are optional, case does not matter mac = target_mac.replace(':', "") mac_bytes = "".join([chr(int(mac[i:i+2], 16)) for i in range(0, len(mac), 2)]) WoL_packet = '\xff'*6 + mac_bytes * 16 s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM) s.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_BROADCAST, 1) while 1: s.sendto(WoL_packet, (bcast_addr, 9)) print "Sent paket!" time.sleep(180)
You can put the code example just into a file and start the python interpreter by hand providing the file as parameter or execute the file as a shell script (on UNIXoid systems like LINUX, Mac OS X, FreeBSD etc.).
On an Enigma2 Dreambox or Mac OS X you will have a python interpreter within the default installation of the system. Other systems may need an installation of the python package beforehand.
This requires the wakeonlan package to be installed - on Debian and Ubuntu this can be found in the wakeonlan package.
Debian lists the homepage as http://gsd.di.uminho.pt/jpo/software/wakeonlan/, though this appears to be down at the time of writing.
Set `bcast_addr` and `target_mac` as the Python example above, though colons are mandatory in `target_mac`.
#!/bin/sh bcast_addr='192.168.1.255' # broadcast address for you network target_mac="ab:cd:ef:12:34:56" # case does not matter while true; do wakeonlan -i $bcast_addr $target_mac sleep 180 done

The mouse lemurs were collected during field surveys in 2003 and 2007, and genetic analysis has now shown them to be distinct species. In a paper recently published in the International Journal of Primatology, the scientists named the new species the Marohita mouse lemur (Microcebus marohita) and the Anosy mouse lemur (Microcebus tanosi).
The Marohita mouse lemur is named after the forest in which it was collected, while the Anosy mouse lemur is named after its distribution in the Anosy region in southeast Madagascar.
Miniscule primates
Mouse lemurs are some of the smallest primates in the world. All are nocturnal and live in Madagascar's forests, where they feed on a range of insects, fruit, flowers, sap and even small vertebrates, such as frogs and geckos.
The two new species are unusually large for mouse lemurs, with the Marohita mouse lemur reaching lengths of 28 centimetres and weights of about 78 grams. This makes it the largest of the known mouse lemurs. At 27 centimetres and around 50 grams, the Anosy mouse lemur becomes the second largest mouse lemur known to science.
New species discoveries
The rate at which new lemur species have been discovered in Madagascar has dramatically increased in the past decade. The mouse lemurs are one of the most species-rich groups of lemurs, but these tiny primates look so similar that genetic analysis is often the only way to tell them apart.
"I would say that in general, it is highly unusual to describe new species of primates in this age of global travel and consequent access to remote areas of the planet," said Anne Yoder, director of the Duke Lemur Center and one of the authors of the paper. "That said, the number of described lemur species has more than tripled in the last 10 years. A large number of these new species have been mouse lemurs."
Mouse lemurs under threat
Like many of Madagascar's lemurs, the new mouse lemurs are likely to be under threat from human activities. Since the Marohita mouse lemur was first collected, much of the forest it inhabits has been cleared, and the scientists have classified the species as Endangered. The status of the Anosy mouse lemur is not yet known, but it is likely that it will also be classified as Endangered.
Further field studies have been recommended to assess the distribution and population sizes of the newly described lemurs, so that appropriate conservation measures can be put in place to protect them.
Conserving lemurs
The researchers point out the importance of identifying lemur species if they are to be protected. "Knowing exactly how many species we have is essential for determining which areas to target for conservation," said Peter Kappeler of the German Primate Center, one of the authors of the paper.
According to Yoder, "I suspect that there are even more mouse lemur species out there to be found… Mouse lemurs are morphologically cryptic, they are tiny, they are nocturnal, and they occur in remote places. It therefore makes a lot of sense that the harder we look, the more species we will find."
As well as identifying and protecting new lemur species, it will also be important to continue working towards the conservation of all lemurs in Madagascar. Public awareness will be an important part of this.
"I have found that the Malagasy people take great pride in their lemurs, as soon as they understand that Madagascar is unique in having lemurs, and also, that certain lemurs are specific only to a particular area," said Yoder. "Also, and obviously, the government needs to participate in protecting the forests, and in providing economic alternatives to slash and burn agriculture to the Malagasy people."

The Multnomah Bar Association Celebrated 100 years in 2006It all began with 40 local attorneys who met on February 3, 1906 to discuss organizing a Multnomah County bar association. Just two weeks later, the MBA was founded on February 17, 1906 when 57 lawyers adopted the constitution and bylaws of the Multnomah Bar Association (MBA). Today, the MBA is the oldest and largest voluntary bar association in Oregon, with more than 4,000 members.
To commemorate the MBA's 100 years of service to the legal profession and community, the 100th Anniversary Community Gift Fund was established to provide grants for civic and law-related education programs. View a full list of contributors here.
Objective of the MBA in 1906
"To raise and maintain the dignity and honor of the legal profession, and to prevent it from degenerating into a business; to increase its usefulness in promoting the due administration of Justice; to cultivate social intercourse among its members, and to enforce such discipline among its members as shall promote the observance of dignity and courtesy among the members of both bar and bench, and prevent unprofessional conduct; and to recommend, advocate and work for the enactment of such laws as shall promote good government."
Video Commemorating the 100th AnniversaryThe MBA created a video to celebrate its 100th anniversary, "A Century of Service" (Windows Media Player format).
During 2006, each issue of the Multnomah Lawyer included a special edition with historical information about the MBA and its members. Below are links to individual editions.
January - Unique MBA Historical Characters
February - Enduring MBA Themes
March - MBA Worthy Projects
April - History of the Young Lawyers Section
May - The Changing Practice of Law
June - Women Advancing the Bar
July/August - Diversity and the Bar
September - Legal Aid and Pro Bono Service
October - Evolving Practice Areas
November - More Evolving Practice Areas
December - Legal Organizations
The MBA also created a commemorative publication for its centennial year.

Beowulf: The Game (Xbox 360) review
"It doesn't help that the soldiers that follow you around are about as intelligent as the nicely bumpmapped rocks you'll constantly be wandering over. They constantly run out and bash the crap out of anything they start to see... even if they're as harmless as little blue crabs or as powerful as one of the huge ogres that take too damn long to take down. Oh, and don't think that you'd just let them die and keep going without them. If all of your worthless peons die, it's game over. It's every bit as annoying as it sounds. The peons are also used to open doors, which you assist by pressing the right button in time with the music that's playing in order to cheer them on. I guess even Beowulf, carnal warrior and Norse badass, likes a good game of Dance Dance Revolution."

NPCA Board Chair Resigns after Accepting Peace Corps Position
|By Terry Adcock on Thursday, March 28, 2002 - 10:23 pm: Edit Post
I wish Mr. Pyle well in influencing the Peace Corps for the good in the years ahead.
He has a tough job ahead of him, particularly if the Peace Corps is subsumed under the Freedom Corps.
|By Lucinda R Boyd on Tuesday, April 02, 2002 - 12:53 pm: Edit Post
Among challenges for Peace Corps administrators in the immediate future are: matching "reach" and "grasp"; aggressively seeking training protocols to match specific needs; utilization of advanced communications technology to manage workforce in the field. Re: reach/grasp paradigm, rapid expansion sounds good politically but suicidal, practically. Re: training protocols, proven (if such exist) programs to help inexperienced teachers/advisers work with illiterate older students and to find the subtleties necessary for success with boys as well as girls, need to be found and contracts let with trainers. RE: use of technology not only means keeping track of volunteers from a security viewpoint, but could mean staying abreast of their needs.
I guess my concerns for Mr. Pyle could be summarized in phrase: seek small success, avoid large errors.

I really appreciate the performance and contribution of Peace Corps in Albania, Tirana, but employees like Diana Djaloshi who is not honest and fair would bring shame to the institution. There are a lot more devoted and professional people who would like to join the organization and add values to it. But she impedes such professional and good people to give their own contribution.

text: Hi there, I'm running ISPCFG 3.0.5RC2 and am having some trouble understanding SNI: Under System => Server Config => server => Web => SSL Settings I have checked the boy next to "Enable SNI" but what exactly goes into: "CA Path" and "CA passphrase"? Now if I am going to configure a vhost with SSL via Sites => select vhost => check "SSL" then go to the SSL tab and fill in the fields I am struggling finding out what to put into "SSL Bundle" I have signed up with startssl.com and can generate certificates there so I have all the info but not sure where/what to fill in. Yes I have found the howto that deals with startssl.com but it doesn't help so please don't just point me there. Is this scenario I have in mind doable: - check SNI, then create a class2 certificate via startssl for each vhost that needs it, class2 because I'll generate a certificate that is valid for *.domain.tld Yes, I know SNI is not fully supported everywhere but where I rent my root server from I can only get 2 IPs. ###additional question### Lets assume the above scenario works, what/which SSL certificate do I then use for securing emails and FTP? Can I additionally create a wildcard/multi-domain certificate from startssl that covers all hosted domains so it can be shared for this purpose?

Danny Biega was one of three ECAC players honored by the New
England Hockey Writers Tuesday (Gil Talbot).
Complete List of Award Winners
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Senior captain Danny Biega of the Harvard men's hockey team has been named the recipient of the 2013 Joe Tomasello "Unsung Hero" Award, the New England Hockey Writers announced Tuesday. Biega was one of just three ECAC players to be honored by the group's yearly awards.
Biega finished a successful four-year career in Cambridge in March, playing the fifth-most games of any player in program history. He finished his collegiate career with 85 points on 28 goals and 57 assists in 132 games. His career games-played mark ranks eighth all-time in Harvard history, one ahead of his brother, Alex, who played from 2006-10. Danny served as the 120th captain of Harvard hockey in 2012-13.
As a senior, the Montreal, Que., native picked up the third All-Ivy League honor of his career with selection to the all-league second team. Biega skated in all 32 contests for the Crimson as a senior, and regularly logged the most minutes on the team during games. A finalist for the 2013 Senior CLASS Award, Biega finished the season with nine points on two goals and seven assists, with two of those helpers coming during Ivy League play.
Biega signed a three-year contract with the Carolina Hurricanes of the NHL immediately following the completion of the 2012-13 season, and reported to the team's AHL affiliate Charlotte Checkers.

Gossau (St. Gallen, Switzerland)
Gossau is a village in the canton of St. Gall, Switzerland, in which the Anabaptist movement had a large following in 1525-1527, the first years of its existence. On 16 May 1530 an Anabaptist was executed here (see St. Gall). Balthasar Hubmaier, who was arrested in the canton of Zürich in 1525, was to be brought to Gossau upon the wish of the magistrate Berger, to recant "in the largest church." Gossau was also the home of Jakob Falk, the second martyr in the canton of Zürich, who was drowned on 5 September 1528.

These Kids Have Lost Their Minds: Teen Girl Arrested For Shooting Her Father With An Arrow Because He Took Her Cell Phone!
"A father remains in serious condition after police said his 15-year-old daughter allegedly shot him with a hunting bow Wednesday evening. Police said the arrow struck the torso of the 35- year-old father, who was airlifted to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. The Tahyua, Wash., man told police he had taken away his daughter's cell phone to discipline her, although police did not know why she'd been grounded. Mason County sheriff's spokesman William Adam told ABCNews.com, "He crawled out of a window of his house, and then he was able to crawl to a vehicle and drive to a neighbor's house. The closest neighbor was a third of a mile away.""

After a good 3-2 win over the Colorado Avalanche to finish off 2010, the Calgary Flames look to start 2011 on the right note, as they take on the Edmonton Oilers for the fourth time this season (8 pm, CBC and The FAN 960). With consecutive wins over the Avs, Sabres and Stars, the Flames look for their longest win streak of the season when they take on the worst team in the Western Conference.
It's the Battle of Alberta tonight at Rexall Place and it's another huge game for the Flames. Three straight wins is great, but it hasn't done much in the grand scheme of things, as they still sit seven points back of the playoffs. Before their three game streak, they were eight points back…so three pretty solid wins, and they've gained one point. Nonetheless, this is a game the Flames should win, and so is their game against the Islanders on Monday.
The Lineup
The Flames lineup is kind of up in the air for tonight after staying with the same recent lineup against Colorado yesterday. The speculation is Henrik Karlsson will start in net after Miikka Kiprusoff went against the Avs. Karlsson is coming off four pretty strong outings, including a really good performance in a losing effort before Christmas against Columbus. I know the team needs to keep winning, but the team also needs to manage Kiprusoff correctly…so if they do indeed go with Karlsson tonight, it'll be the right call.
As for lines and such, again, it's uncertain with the team not on the Rexall Place ice this morning. The team stuck with the lineup they've been going with as of late last night, which looked like this:
Alex Tanguay-Olli Jokinen-Jarome Iginla
Curtis Glencross-Brendan Morrison-Rene Bourque
Niklas Hagman-Matt Stajan-Ales Kotalik
Tom Kostopoulos-David Moss-Tim Jackman
Robyn Regehr-Jay Bouwmeestser
Mark Giordano-Cory Sarich
Adam Pardy-Anton Babchuk
Without scoring chances to back it up, I don't know for sure, but it seemed like the Iginla line did a pretty good job, especially offensively, against the top line of the Avalanche featuring Matt Duchene and Milan Hejduk (and as I published this, Kent published scoring chances, and I was actually correct…JOY). They were matched up shift for shift, and Iginla et al generated some opportunities in the offensive end. Not to say Duchene's unit didn't get things done either, because they had chances of their own…but that is usually the case when Iginla's line goes out against top flight opposition.
Calgary scored their three goals yesterday with some striking similarities. First, they all had Flames players going hard to the net and following up on the play, whether it be Jackman, Kostopoulos or Tanguay doing it. And two of those goals came off Avalanche turn overs…the Oilers certainly turn the puck over, so taking advantage at both blue lines could be a key tonight for the road team.
The Opponent
The Oilers are what they are at this point…a very young team with a lot of great pieces for the future. Against the Avalanche on Thursday, they were dismal in the first period falling down 3-0 before mounting a comeback in the final 40 to force overtime and a shootout; they'd eventually fall 4-3. When the Oilers start feeling it, they can be a handful, especially when they're going north-south. Yet, even when that's happening, you can capitalize on turnovers.
Edmonton's biggest injury right now lies on the blue line, with Ryan Whitney out at least a month with an ankle injury…his status is kind of uncertain right now, as he may need surgery, or may just need time to recover. Shawn Horcoff continues to recover from an MCL injury, and he'll be out till mid-February. Add on top of that an "unnamed" defenceman nursing an injury tonight, and the situation is a little unclear. If this unnamed d-man doesn't play, Shawn Belle could step into his spot…but that's uncertain.
The Oil are also making changes not related to injury, with youngster Magnus Paajarvi not playing tonight, sitting out as a healthy scratch. At least according to him. It seems like everything is uncertain, so if Paajarvi doesn't play, it's not even totally sure who would go in his place…either JF Jacques or Steve MacIntyre. Sigh. Does this team have to make everything so damn complicated?
The top two lines will probably stay the same, with Sam Gagner in between Jordan Eberle and Taylor Hall serving as the first line. Dustin Penner, Andrew Cogliano and Ales Hemsky served as the second line against Colorado. Nikolai Khabibulin probably gets the start in net, with his 23-8-4 record against the Flames to go along with a 2.26 goals against.
The Story
The Flames should win this game when the Oilers are healthy, so they need to beat a team that is beat up and struggling (two wins in ten). But, if the Flames don't play a good, hard game they can easily be beat by the Oilers, as was submitted on opening night when Edmonton took a 4-1 win. It should be a lot of fun regardless, and with the Islanders looming on Monday, some good hockey could yield a nice five game win streak for the Flames. And good hockey is the key.

Astronomy & Atmospheric Sciences
Program Description
The Associate in Science Transfer (AS-T) degree is designed to prepare students for entrance into a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) program in Astronomy or Atmospheric Sciences. The primary focus of the AS-T degree is completion of the necessary math and science requirements for junior standing at Washington State baccalaureate institutions. Students will be required to take additional general education courses after transfer to fulfill university requirements. Astronomy or Atmospheric Sciences are excellent majors for graduate studies in Astronomy, Atmospheric Sciences, Applied Math, Education, Environmental Studies, and Physics.
Astronomy and Atmospheric Sciences — What is it?
Astronomy is the study of the origin and structure of the universe, including the sun, stars, moon, planets and galaxies. Atmospheric Sciences, on the other hand, is the study of the atmosphere around the earth often used to forecast the weather and climate trends. Generally considered subsets of Physics, both fields adopt scientific research methods to include observation, instrumentation, data collection, data analysis and computation.
Areas of study in Astronomy
Stars and Solar Systems, Planetary Orbits, Astrophysics, Astrobiology, Galaxies, Stellar Matter and Structure, Astronomical Instrumentation, Physics, Mathematics, Observational Cosmology and Research Methods; Atmospheric Sciences: Weather Forecasting, Climate Change and Trends, Climate Theory, Air Quality and Pollution Control, Global Warming, El Nino, Ozone Depletion, Planetary Atmospheres Glaciology, Satellite Communications and Research Methods.
Career Opportunities — What can I do with a Bachelor's Degree in Astronomy or Atmospheric Sciences?
Graduates in Astronomy and Atmospheric Sciences develop strong research, writing and computational skills with the ability to operate specialized, scientific equipment and instruments. Students with a bachelor's degree often secure entry level positions as research assistants or technicians. Many choose to go on to graduate school to earn a Master's or Ph.D. degree in order teach and/or conduct research.

No. 8 Arizona survives Southern Miss.
Nick Johnson jumped up and winged a skip pass over the defense, hoping to hit an open shooter on the other side of the floor.
The ball got over the defense all right — along with the shooter he was aiming for, the rest of his teammates on the bench and the coaches, landing about five rows into the stands.
Ugly? Yes it was, but the Arizona Wildcats managed to overcome that miscue and many more, pulling out a win that could go a long way later in the season.
Johnson scored 23 points, Kevin Parrom had 13 of his 14 in the second half and the eighth-ranked Wildcats overcame a season-high 27 turnovers to hold off Southern Mississippi 63-55 Tuesday night.
"Anytime you have 27 turnovers against a good team at home is unacceptable," Arizona coach Sean Miller said. "Having said that, to be able to win and have all those turnovers, that's a completely different story."
Struggling against Southern Miss' zone, Arizona (6-0) spent most of the night throwing passes that had no hope of being completed, bumbling away others, giving the ball back seconds after forcing a turnover on defense.
The Wildcats survived behind their defense and veteran leadership.
Picking up the defensive pressure, Arizona forced Southern Miss into 17 second-half turnovers and gave the Golden Eagles no room to shoot, inside or out.
Faced with a tight game, Miller stuck with his proven players instead of the talented youngsters for most of the second half and they came through.
Johnson had 13 points in the first half and hit some big baskets while leading the turnover-creating charge at the top of Arizona's defense.
Parrom gave the Wildcats a release valve to Southern Miss' zone in the second half with his passing out of the high post and scored seven points during a key stretch.
Fellow senior Solomon Hill overcome a rare quiet night offensively with sturdy defense in the post and the biggest shot of the game, a 3-pointer in front of Arizona's bench that gave the Wildcats a 57-51 lead with 1:49 left.
All those turnovers and the Wildcats still managed to pull out a victory, giving them confidence that could carry over in tight games later in the season, not to mention their best start since opening the 1999-2000 season with six straight wins.
"We pulled this one out, but we also got the experience factor to learn how to play in close games, how to take good shots," Johnson said. "I think that will help us."
Southern Miss (6-2) gave Arizona all kinds of trouble with its swarming zone, forcing 13 turnovers while building an eight-point halftime lead. The Golden Eagles kept forcing the Wildcats into mistakes in the second half, but couldn't overcome their own.
Southern Miss missed all eight of its 3-pointers in the second half and had turnovers on eight consecutive possessions to nearly quadruple its total from the first half, spoiling what was a superb defensive effort.
Neil Watson led Southern Miss with 17 points and Michael Craig added 10 with seven rebounds. Southern Miss leading scorer Dwayne Davis didn't play because of the flu.
"Both defenses were going after the ball, both teams were playing hard," Southern Miss coach Donnie Tyndall said. "You have to credit the defense; they were forcing turnovers. I thought few of ours were unforced, though."
This game was strength vs. strength: Arizona's offense against Southern Miss' defense.
The Golden Eagles had the advantage in the first half, turning Arizona's 13 turnovers — two fewer than it had in a win over Texas Tech on Saturday — into 18 points and a 35-27 lead.
The Wildcats turned the turnover table around in the second half.
Playing more aggressively, Arizona forced Southern Miss into 11 turnovers in the first eight minutes.
Of course, the Wildcats weren't exactly taking care of the ball, so the game stayed close until the closing minutes.
That's when Arizona's upperclassmen took over.
Parrom got it started with two baskets inside and a 3-pointer in transition. Hill followed with his spirit-sapping 3-pointer and Arizona's defense did the rest, keeping the Golden Eagles from making a run.
"We felt like we had the game in our hands and within our grasp, but coming into the second half we started getting loose," Watson said. "Arizona has a tight defense. They're No. 8 and in the second half, they showed us why they are No. 8."

In Panoramio we have redesigned the photo upload interface in a radical way.
I personally think the current widget to upload files used in browsers is horrible. It looks like a dynosaur from older times, when your files were named C:\hi.txt instead of C:\Documents and Settings\foo\My Documents\My Images\DSGN003.jpg. And don't get me started on its lack of basic functionality: no way to select multiple files in one shot, no way for the webmaster to filter out the files to be show in the dialog box, etc.
Advantages of the new functionality:
1. Upload as many photos as you want at once
With the classic widget you have to upload photos in groups, for example 5 after 5. You need to pay attention to the end of the upload in order to select a new group of photos.
Now in Panoramio you can upload as many photos as you want at once at the same time, so you can do other things instead of waiting for uploading the next group or monitoring the process all the time.
Also in order to make the process faster, the upload start after selecting the photo, so you don´t need to press any "upload" button.
2. Did you choose the right photo to upload?
If your file is at C:\Documents and Settings\foo\My Documents\My Images\DSGN003.jpg the edit field it´s too short to see the name of the file you are uploading. How can you be sure you selected the right one?
Panoramio´s new upload system shows just the name of the file in edit field, not it´s location
But when image file names are as "intuitive" as Dc2351.jpg is very easy to make a mistake. It´s very frustrating to realize you made a mistake only after finishing the long uploading process.
In order to prevent these errors, Panoramio shows you right away a small thumbail of the photo you are uploading (only in Internet Explorer), so you can cancel the uploading in progress.
3. Is it really uploading? How long it takes?
The most frustrating experience uploading photos is the lack of progress indication. Feedback makes easier to wait, that´s why long operations should always inform the user about the estimated time left and about their status.
If you're at 80% of the upload process, and something bad happens (your cat eats your ethernet link, for instance), then you're left in the cold. You have to resend all these images again. Why? If the upload process gets interrupted, I want all the photos that have already being pushed in the server to remain safely there, so that I don't have to start again from scratch. That´s how it works in Panoramio because each file is uploaded in a independent query.
4. No more "browse" button
People´s goal when uploading a photo is far from "browse", they just want to "upload a photo". Although it works only in Internet Explorer, we could substitute the "browse" button for a "upload a photo" link.
5. Map the photo and name it while uploading
This is a specific feature of Panoramio that optionally allows you to locate photos in a place at Google Maps. Previously, you had to find the place first and second upload the photo aftewards. That´s was slow and cumbersome if you are uploading many photos.
Now you first select the photo to upload and while waiting you can (optionally) map the photo. The process of mapping doesn´t interrumpt the uploading.
My only doubt concerning the current upload system is that it also lets you choose the title of your photo at the same time the image uploads. That's nice because the whole process is done in one single screen, but at the same time it seems to be a bit confusing.
I hope you like the new upload system. The implementation took me longer time that I want to acknowledge ;)
Special thanks to Raditha Dissanyake and Tomas Larsson for its work on a perl script to handle incremental the upload of files, and to Nicholas C. Zakas for discovering how to show up the file dialog box in Explorer from javascript (and submit that file without getting Access denied error messages).

The U.S. Department of Labor
US Department of Labor provides grant to assist recovery efforts following Texas wildfires
Press Release • Nov 01, 2011 06:22 EDT
WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of Labor today announced a $1,423,992 National Emergency Grant to create temporary jobs for eligible dislocated workers to assist with cleanup and recovery efforts in the aftermath of the Texas wildfires that began in August.
"Despite the best efforts of firefighters and emergency crews, this summer brutal wildfires scorched thousands of acres in Texas destroying homes and businesses," said Secretary of Labor Hilda L. Solis. "The jobs created by this federal grant will provide paychecks for workers who need them and assistance for communities as cleanup and repair efforts continue."
The funds are being awarded to the Texas Workforce Commission. Of the $1,423,992 announced today, $474,664 will be released initially. Additional funding up to the amount approved will be made available as the state demonstrates a continued need for assistance.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency declared the following Texas counties eligible for its Public Assistance Program: Anderson, Bastrop, Cherokee, Colorado, Gregg, Harrison, Henderson, Hill, Houston, Leon, Marion, Rusk, Smith, Upshur and Walker. More information on designated disaster areas in Texas is available from FEMA at http://www.fema.gov/news/eventcounties.fema?id=15672.
National Emergency Grants are part of the secretary of labor's discretionary fund and are awarded based on a state's ability to meet specific guidelines. For more information, visithttp://www.doleta.gov/NEG/.

Saturday night I co hosted Angels and Kings 2 Year Anniversary Party at the Hard Rock Hotel with my friends; Jessica Zweig, Kevin Aeh and Pete Wentz.
When the original AK opened back in 2008, I wasn't even allowed to attend the party because Pete Wentz and Ashley Simpson were not fans of CelebTV and thought we were a dirty tabloid site. They were wrong and I was crushed.
Since then I've been at several parties and even attended a group dinner with Pete- and assumed I'd gained some trust.
But when I asked for an interview with him, I was told I could have 2 mins at 11pm and could ask no personal questions.
Well, let's do the math. I'm at the point in my life that 11pm is VERY late for an interview and 2 mins is enough time for basically one or two questions. Plus, since I was a host…I planned to have an adult beverage or two- and I never drink when I'm working. 8pm-11pm at a party I was hosting with no cocktails on a Saturday night ='s no fun. Side note: if this were for an interview with a someone who was going to graciously give me a decent amount of time and talk about something of substance- I'd have no problem doing an interview at any time of day.
So we declined the interview, with an eye roll. Doesn't co-hosting a party for a place a guy owned and promoting it on both TV and social media earn us a little something more? How about an 8 min sit down that evening in his bar to promote his book? Nope. Nada.
Jessica, Pete, Me and Kevin. The three of us coordinated the black and white, my outfit is from TopShop. The coordinated outfits helped motivate some old dogs to get out on a Saturday night.
I ended up with a few photos and Pete saying "Is your hair different?". He was perfectly nice and friendly with us.
The photogs asked for a shot of me and Pete solo. I was hoping rumors would spark that we were a new item and I'd reach Kardashian-like fame…but alas…
Turns out Pete wasn't doing much press because he was planning to announce the reunion of Fall Out Boy today.
He denied the news to my friend Luis when he braved the snow and waited up patiently for Wentz to arrive and give him his two mins.
I understand the need to *break* big stories in the way your label wants you to, but whatever happened to loyalty and being cool with the media who have supported you and your business for years?
Perhaps Pete will call up both me and Luis and give us another crack at those interviews…either way- thanks for the memories- it was a great party.

Definition of delusional: A guy who has cheated on his taxes and considers himself above the law, pontificating that his legal opponents should "obey the law!" I guess Dr. Dipshit doesn't know that jails record phone calls. Let the world see what pathetic scum he truly is. He's clearly living in his own dream world.
Prior to his conviction: The whining, the victim complex, the never ending mantra of "lawsuits, lawsuits, lawsuits!" This guy sure does love listening to his own bluster. In the first clip you will find yourself actually feeling sorry for his wife, listening to her say, with a notable tone of despair, that "I'm just hearing things [from you] that sound all the same." Hovind's cold reply, "Well, maybe I need to change…or maybe you need to change and accept it…Your hope is always that I will change. Maybe the hope ought to be that you will advance."
One wonders, how does someone this dishonest and deluded get this way in the first place? I guess it's that when someone is this slick a bullshit artist, and he can convince himself of his own bullshit, then it becomes easy as pie to say literally any self-serving nonsense you can come up with, with unassailable confidence. Take note of the last thing Hovind says in the final clip, if you're ready for a true Irony Meter-Breaker.
PS: Since Hovind wants to know what laws he's broken, according to one source I've found, here they are: 26 U.S.C. § 7202, 31 U.S.C. § 5313(a), 31 U.S.C. § 5324, 18 U.S.C. § 2 and 31 C.F.R. sec. 103.11, 26 U.S.C. § 7212.

Sports News
change as Formula One enters new era
Send a link to a friend
[March 12, 2014]
By Alan Baldwin
(Reuters) — The prospect of seeing
Sebastian Vettel beaten for the first time since last July is just one
of the many novelties Sunday's season-opening Australian Formula One
Grand Prix promises to deliver.
Just how much trouble Vettel's Red Bull team might be in is one
of the questions waiting for an answer as the sport's unpredictable
new turbo era whooshes into action at Melbourne's Albert Park
The quadruple world champion won the last nine races of 2013 but the
26-year-old German spent much of his time during the pre-season
tests in Spain and Bahrain watching the car being worked on in the
Red Bull are braced for a reality check as they and partners Renault
work against the clock to fix the troublesome 1.6 liter V6 hybrid
turbo engine and its complicated new energy recovery systems.
Rivals Mercedes, under new leadership following the departure of
Ross Brawn, have been racking up the laps with far less hassle.
"Mercedes have got a bit of a march on people. They invested more,
they invested earlier. They've got themselves into a good position,"
Red Bull team principal Christian Horner told reporters.
"If Mercedes were to finish two laps ahead of the opposition in
Melbourne, that wouldn't be a surprise, based on what we've seen in
preseason testing. It's massive.
"From what we can see at the moment, all the Mercedes powered teams
are in pretty decent shape and we're not.
"We're on the back foot, and have a lot of ground to catch up,"
added the Briton, who now has Australian Daniel Ricciardo in the
lineup following compatriot Mark Webber's retirement.
Horner's words may be a part of the preseason mind games,
repositioning Red Bull as underdogs but Mercedes drivers Lewis
Hamilton and Nico Rosberg have sounded quietly confident about a car
that is sleeker than many of its 'ugly' new-look rivals.
"With all the changes within the sport and the hard work that's been
going on within the team, I believe this can be our year to really
show what we're capable of," said Hamilton, the 2008 world champion
with McLaren.
"I feel like I'm equipped with the tools I need to succeed. I can't
wait to get started," added the Briton, whose win in Hungary last
July was the last by anyone other than Vettel.
Ferrari will be hoping to challenge with their new lineup of
champions following the return of Finland's 2007 title winner Kimi
Raikkonen — triumphant in Melbourne for Lotus last year — to partner
Fernando Alonso.
The cars will sound different without the old V8 engines and will
also be far less reliable at first, with any repairs likely to take
far longer due to the complexity of the power units.
[to top of second column]
How many cars will start from the grid, let alone finish the race
now that fuel economy is a big factor, is another uncertainty. Some
insiders have predicted that Sunday evening could see less than half
the field reach the chequered flag.
In 1996, when Melbourne first hosted the grand prix, only 11 cars
made it to the finish in a race won by Britain's Damon Hill in a
That team had a nightmare season last year, the former champions
taking only a meager five points and finishing ninth overall, but
they are more optimistic now they have switched Renault power for
Brazilian Felipe Massa, who has joined Williams from Ferrari, lapped
faster than anyone in Bahrain testing and was able to put in plenty
of laps.
"The new car we have is really well built, good quality ... it is
very reliable and not slow either, so it's going to be an exciting
season," Finnish driver Valtteri Bottas told Reuters.
"Like I've kept saying for a couple of years now, I really think the
future of Williams is going to be good and hopefully this can be a
step forward from other years."
McLaren, starting their last season with Mercedes before the switch
to Honda, are also looking for a strong start after failing to step
on the podium at all last year and ousting principal Martin
Jenson Button, who spoke movingly last week of how much he will miss
his father in the first race since his death in January, has an
exciting new team mate in 21-year-old Danish rookie Kevin Magnussen.
"We're not the quickest," said the 2009 champion, who has won in
Australia three times in the last five years. "We're looking at Q3
(qualifying in the top 10) and then a very good points finish at the
end, if we can get to the end."

It's Back: Totally Unnecessary And Damaging Fashion Copyright Bill Reintroduced
from the you-can't-be-serious dept
So, of course, fashion designers and politicians keep doing it. Pretty much every year Chuck Schumer trots out just such a bill, and this year is no different. Reader Steve Phillips points us to the announcement of the bill being introduced and ReallyEvilCanine points us to a celebratory post by a professor who was involved in drafting the bill. This time around the bill has Senators Boxer, Feinstein, Hatch, Graham & Hutchison as co-sponsors, so there's quite a bit of firepower, as they seek to build up protectionist policies that may benefit a few top designers, but will significantly harm up-and-comers. Just as we've seen throughout history, intellectual property protections lag innovation, rather than cause it. That's because the top players in the space use those laws to reduce, not enhance, competition. This is no exception.
Of course, Schumer's been unable to shove through this disaster-in-waiting the past few times he's tried, so hopefully it goes nowhere again, but if you want to see regulatory capture in action, here you go. In the meantime, if this should actually go through, we eagerly await the first major supporter of the bill getting caught copying someone else's design.

ESPN visits MSU
Representatives from ESPN, the global sports and media juggernaut, will be on the campus of Mississippi State University today discussing internships and related opportunities with the company.
Dr. John Forde, head of MSU's Department of Communication, is hoping that all interested parties will attend some or all of the day's four sessions which begin at 10 a.m. in the Swalm building's room 001.
"I would just love for us to have a great showing of students and others interested," said Forde. "With ESPN being owned by Disney, one of the things I tell my students in class and everyone else is Disney owns all kinds of things including ABC. So for people interested in internships and other related opportunities, if you can get to meet some people, talk to somebody, and learn some things from them in person, that makes a big difference."
Visitors from the Bristol, Conn. based network will include Manager of College Relations Joe Franco, Associate Director of Production Management and Ad Sales Integration Ericka Hascall, and Supervisor of Production Operations Marybeth Westlund.
Following the day's first session, others will be held beginning at 1 p.m. in McCool Hall room 126 and at 2 p.m. in McComas Hall room 214, before the day's events are wrapped up in an information session at 6 p.m. in McCool Hall room 100.
According to Forde, ESPN currently has at least one intern from each school in the Southeastern Conference.
MSU student Blake Walters interned with them over the summer and will highlight his experiences at various times during the day's sessions.
Forde hopes the event will attract individuals seeking career opportunities in all areas of media and communication, not just the sports industry.
"Broadcasting, journalism, public relations-wise, there are just many, many opportunities with ESPN," said Forde.

The beginning of the minor-league season means the return of Eddie's Farm!
Round Rock
Roy Corcoran gave up a 9th-inning triple to Donnie Murphy, and Logan Morrison singled him home for a walk-off 2-1 win for New Orleans. Josh Banks was outstanding in his Opening Day start, throwing 6IP, 3H/1ER, 3K:0BB, the only run coming from a leadoff homer in the third. Gary Majewski threw 2IP of perfect ball to keep it close. The Express got nine hits - two from Bogusevic - as every position player got a hit, except for Jason Castro, who was 0x4. The Express were 0x9 w/RISP, and left 10 on base.
Corpus Christi
Sergio Perez and the Hooks' pitching staff absolutely dominated the Tulsa Whatevers in a 7-0 win. Perez threw 5IP, 4H/0ER, 4K:1BB, and threw 51 of his 79 pitches for strikes. The bullpen of Henry Villar, Chia-Jen Lo, and Erick Abreu threw 4IP, 1H/0ER, 5K:1BB (4K from C-Lo in 2IP). Jhon Florentino and Wladimir Sutil had two hits each, David Cook had a two-run pinch-hitsingle, and Koby Clemens - hitting cleanup - got his first hit as a Hook, a double.
The JetHawks opened their season with a rough bullpen outing in a 4-3 loss to Bakersfield. Kyle Greenwalt got the start, throwing 5IP, 5H/2ER, 5K:0BB, and was in line for the lead after Lancaster got two runs in the top of the 6th for a 3-2 lead. Brian Wabick came in, gave up two runs in the bottom half of the inning, and David Berner cleaned it up with two scoreless innings. Brandon Barnes and Federico Hernandez both had two hits, with Barnes hitting a solo homer in the 1st, and Hernandez getting the other two RBI. The JetHawks were 1x11 with RISP.
The Legends fought a scoreless duel with Charleston for six innings as Tanner Bushue threw 4.1IP, 1H/0ER, 6K:1BB. Then, in the 7th, Jose Trinidad gave up three straight one-out singles and was replaced by Kirk Clark, who immediately threw a wild pitch, then a passed ball by Jonathan Fixler, and two singles. So it's really not fair to put it on Trinidad, even though he got the loss. Of the six Legends' hits, four came courtesy of J.D. Martinez and Jonathan Meyer - who both also made an error in the game. Jiovanni Mier was 1x4 with 3Ks, and our boy Aaron Bray was not in the lineup.

Eddie's Farm: April 8

this is a great, convenient summary, thanks. Allow me a minor nit-pick: Clemens was briefly in Corpus early last year (due to an injury to Esposito or somebody) so I'm pretty sure he got his first hit as a Hook in that stint.

Tulsa isn't the Drillers anymore?

@Reuben: Your nit-picking is valid. Koby got four hits for the Hooks last season.
@Ryan: Drillers? Drillers.

Nice win for Corpus, especially going up against Friedrich. Is there room in the RR rotation for Perez if he keeps dominating?
Love that Bushue and Greenwalt are starting well. Can NEVER have too many pitchers

3 Maine students felony charges for selling marijuana-laced cookies at school
CAPE ELIZABETH, Maine (AP) � Three Cape Elizabeth High School students are facing felony charges for allegedly selling marijuana-laced chocolate chip cookies at school.
Capt. Brent Sinclair said Wednesday that two 15-year-old boys and one 17-year-old boy were charged last week with aggravated trafficking in scheduled drugs. They were released to the custody of their parents.
Police began investigating after three students got sick this month after eating pot-laced cookies on the same day the school was holding a daylong event featuring speakers addressing the school district's guiding values of "Community, Academics, Passion and Ethics."
Sinclair told the Portland Press Herald (http://bit.ly/UmrkpF ) that eight students were summonsed for possession of marijuana.

Since its inception more than 20 years ago, the Brooks College of Health has continuously been a leader in educating health-care professionals. The college's outstanding undergraduate, graduate and doctoral programs continue to gain national prominence based on their emphasis on experiential learning in clinical settings and laboratories, the use of cutting-edge technology and the expert faculty who bring years of field experience, research and knowledge into the classroom.
Recently, thanks to nursing professorships established with a $3.6 million gift from Brooks Rehabilitation in 2006, the college added another renowned expert to its faculty: Dr. Carol Ledbetter, who was hired to share her expertise with students in the doctor of nursing practice program.
In her 40-year nursing career, Ledbetter has been involved in all sectors of health care, from patient care to research and education. She has worked as a nurse, an educator, administrator and family nurse practitioner in urban areas in six states; as a senior vice president, chief operating officer and business owner in the corporate sector; and as a flight nurse and chief nurse in the United States Air Force Reserve. Students in the Brooks College of Health stand to benefit from Ledbetter's experience and research in evidence-based practice, which focuses on an evaluative and qualitative approach to health care. She also has important experience in rural nursing, an area the college will likely include in its future curriculum for nursing students.
"Dr. Ledbetter has authored many articles on evidence-based practice, which is the foundation for the doctor of nursing practice program," Dr. Li Loriz, director of UNF's School of Nursing said. "She also is a nurse practitioner with experience in rural health. Although currently our community-based nursing program focuses mostly on urban populations, there is tremendous need in nearby rural communities. Dr. Ledbetter's experience in this area will be invaluable to the School of Nursing."
Ledbetter left the Oregon this past summer, where she'd been the associate dean for the Oregon Health & Science University School of Nursing in La Grande, moved to Florida, and began teaching at UNF in August. But it was not her first exposure to the Jacksonville campus.
Ledbetter first came to UNF in 2003, as an on-site evaluator for the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education during the college's accreditation visit. As a seasoned on-site evaluator reviewing nursing programs nationwide, Ledbetter knew what to look for in quality programs — and she liked what she saw at UNF.
"What I saw was a school that was vibrant and very exciting. The president [John Delaney] was brand new at the time, and I loved the way he talked about nursing and how important it was," she said. "The sincerity in his vision, not only for the University but the [Brooks] College of Health, and also his unfettered support, all of that was very evident."
As part of the accreditation process, Ledbetter met with UNF faculty, members of the community, students and administrators, including Dr. Pam Chally, dean of the Brooks College of Health. "I just absolutely adored her, and I loved her vision for where things were going to head; not running toward it, but methodically going toward a vision," she said.
Over the last six years, Ledbetter has kept an eye on UNF, watching as its nursing program gained flagship status and the Brooks College of Health introduced new doctoral programs in nursing and physical therapy. She stayed in the loop by chatting with UNF faculty at national meetings and conferences and reviewing their published work. When she discovered three former colleagues — Drs. Patrick Monahan, Jane McCarthy and John McDonough — were part of the college's nursing and nurse anesthetist programs, it piqued her interest in UNF. The four had worked together at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences in Bethesda, Md.
"We were all military veterans, and we knew playing in the sandbox together was the way you get it done," Ledbetter said. "We got together and really helped shape the graduate school of nursing, which was in its infancy. We put together the infrastructure that schools need to run well."
Last spring, Ledbetter contacted McDonough to inquire about UNF, discovered the nursing program had an opening and within two days submitted her application. Her extensive background in research, practice and education surely made her an ideal candidate for the position – and she got the job.
Chally is thrilled to welcome Ledbetter to the college, pointing out her distinguished career, innovative and visionary leadership skills and high-profile positions in national professional organizations. "She is a revered and demonstrated leader in nursing education, research and practice, and many of her published articles focus on evidence-based practice, resulting from her deep interest in the process of translating research into practice," Chally said. "We're so excited she's here to teach nursing students at all levels of their education."
But Chally and Loriz aren't the only ones pleased Ledbetter's here to help guide the School of Nursing into the national spotlight.
"We are glad the Brooks College of Health has been able to use the interest from our gift to invest in a faculty member of this caliber," said Douglas Baer of Brooks Rehabilitation. "We know excellent faculty, such as Dr. Ledbetter, will positively impact the nursing education of UNF's graduates. In the end, the entire community benefits."
When talking with Ledbetter about her chosen profession, one thing is clear: She's passionate about nursing. She could talk for hours about the country's nursing shortage, the multiple career options available to nurses, the thrill of helping to save someone's life and the joy of being a nurse educator.
"I will stand up anywhere and tell people I'm a nurse," she said. "My love of the profession is unqualified. I love teaching and learning from my students — and I love the people I work with."
