Chaplaincy at Newcastle (Callaghan campus)
The Chaplaincy Centre is made available to people for spiritual and emotional well being. It is an open, welcoming place for all students and staff. Come in for a chat and a cup of coffee, make and meet friends, read magazines, borrow a book, or just sit and relax. Generally between 10am and 2pm, Monday through Friday, at least one chaplain will be available at the centre to offer guidance and assistance to students and staff in personal prayer, spirituality, and a host of other real life problems.
The Centre is used for a variety of activities by students and staff for quiet, reflective times and for social activities. Tea and coffee are always available for those who drop in, to meet others or for a few quiet moments. While the Centre has a life of its own, it is also the base for the work of the chaplains on the University campus. If you would like to be involved in one of these activities or worship, or if you would like to volunteer some time to work with the chaplains please call us.

My wife recently has some cosmetic surgery. For unknown reasons, the Dr. Kept her under for 12 plus hours. She now has trouble focusing and has lost some of her vision. She is not the same and seems to be loopy. It is going on 4 months since the surgery and when we asked the Dr. why he kept her under so long, his answer was "I don't know, I just really got into my work." is this normal? will she get better?
Please advise.
That sounds dreadful, but to make any suggestions, it would be better to know what part of the body was worked on, and find out which anesthetic was used, and whether this is usual with it's reaction. I hope your wife is improving.

{inspiration for spring: fall collections}
. . . the wonderful thing about previewing fall collections in early spring is that they are always overflowing with inspiration for spring -- striped sweaters and pencils skirts, layers of cropped knits over crisp blouses and wide-legged trousers, bright saffron-coloured dresses, and most of all, classic trenches, belted and perfectly paired with cuffed skinny jeans and heels . . .

Hathaway, taking a style cue from her current beau Adam Schulman, took a stroll in Venice, CA, rocking jazzy sneakers, a turquoise retro jacket and white frame shades. Possibly adding to their hipster closet, the couple walked arm in arm as they shopped the small boutiques lining the trendy area.
After Anne Hathaway kept talking about some mystery dudes to get the press off her back about her convict ex-boyfriend, it seems that she's found a human boyfriend with a pulse. They're pretty cute together. But his outfit? Tragic. Mickey Mouse, I couldn't walk out the door with a dude dressed like an idiot.

Thread: Osmonds, Mormon Muses
July 10th 2012, 11:26 AM #1
Osmonds, Mormon Muses
Note: This is not a "let's mock Mormons" thread. There are plenty of other threads for those with that impulse.
When I was a kid, my sisters and I watched Donny & Marie on TV. We would put on lip-sync shows of their album for family and friends. This week, as part of my project to recreate pop music history on my iPod, I got an Osmonds greatest hits CD. I was surprised to see that Donny had 11 Top Forty hits in the early 70s, plus another 8 during the same period with The Osmonds. In comparison, Michael Jackson (against whom Donny was put forward as a white copy) had only five solo hits during that period, though the Jackson 5 had 16 other Top Forty hits then, 7 of which were #1 or #2. So although we remember the Jackson 5 (and of course, Michael) more today, the Osmonds were pretty successful, for a coattail band.
I was particularly intrigued by the lyrics of the Osmond song Goin' Home, a BTO/Bad Company style rocker which went to #36 in 1973:
The "I'm a spaceman, I gotta get back home" part seems like the most explicit reference to Mormon-distinctive doctrines in the Osmond catalogue. That got me wondering whether there are any other Mormon-rific pop songs out there that charted. You LDSers know of any?
July 10th 2012, 11:57 AM #2
Re: Osmonds, Mormon Muses
Sorry, the only Osmond songs I remember are:
Go Away Little Girl
Little Bit Me, Little Bit You
Crazy Horses
Down By the Lazy River
I'm a Little Bit Country
If anyone can derive LDS doctrine from any of those, more power to you. : )"I think we may accept it as a rule that whenever a person's
religious conversation dwells chiefly, or even frequently,
on the faults of other people's religions, she/he is in a bad condition."
-C.S. Lewis (Collected Letters Vol. 3 p. 209).

I always thought Marie was SO pretty. And I think she's frozen in time.
Wait.... there was a DONNY?

Re: Osmonds, Mormon Muses
After further research, it appears that "Goin' Home" was actually the finale of a concept album they did about Mormonism entitled, "The Plan." Here's another track, Before the Beginning:

Hmm. That's interesting. Based on just the first posted lyrics, I would have been open to just seeing it as a metaphor of sorts, but I had no idea they actually made an LDS concept album.

Here's Our Vote for Top 7 Worst Celebrity Teeth
Today we're taking the time to highlight notables whom — in our humble opinion — should be included on a list of the Top 7 Worst Celebrity Teeth. Again, our purpose is not to demean these wonderfully talented and intelligent folks, but to offer them up as examples of bad cosmetic dentistry — or no corrective dentistry at all. We present these stars and celebs in no particular order. That being said, maybe we did put actor and writer Steve Buscemi at the top of this listing because he obviously needs the most help.
The point is, these are notables that we think could benefit from a few sessions with a cosmetic dentist like those found here at Spektor Dental. In addition to describing what might be wrong with these celeb's smiles, we'll offer some simple advice for correcting what is so plainly obvious to us, their fans.
Steve Buscemi: Let's go out on a limb here and call Steve Buscemi's teeth "unique." Dentists are lined up to fix his smile, but this actor — this very good actor — says a nice row of ivories would pretty much put an end to his career in Hollywood. And, he's probably right. Buscemi plays a murdering kidnapper in the dark comedy Fargo, where witnesses describe him as "kinda funny-lookin' in a general kinda way." A nice set of veneers would have just ruined that description.
Morgan Freeman: Is there a better character actor alive today? We think not! He's starred in dozens of great films. So you'd think this man would get some redemption from sitting down for an hour-long whitening process. And it wouldn't hurt to get a few of those teeth straightened out while he's in the chair. With the invisible braces in use today, he wouldn't have to miss a single day of filming.
Gary Busey: Known best for his portrayal of rocker Buddy Holly way back in the '70s, Gary Busey came by his horsey veneers honestly. He ruined his face in a horrible motorcycle accident (no helmet) two-dozen years ago. But slapping a row of porcelain, plate-sized veneers on his already large Continue Reading »

Still doesn't work! I have multiple C and C++ projects in the same workspace and none of them can be debugged (even a new project)! However on another workspace I'm able to run Hello World project and gdb loads symbols for it... Is there something in workspace specific settings I could screw up?
[Updated on: Tue, 11 December 2012 09:15]
I had to create another workspace and import there my projects. And that worked. I have no fucking idea why it didn't work for the old workspace. The projects are makefile-based projects, both makefile and project file are generated by CMake. As I said, outside of Eclipse exact same binary was loaded by gdb without any problems and I was able to debug it. Moreover, when I actually typed the "file path/to/executable" command in Eclipses' gdb console like I was told and then typed "continue", it worked as well. So I would guess it's something wrong with the gdb launcher or whatever starts gdb process.

I've tried putting alot of tape on the batter head and loosening the tension but it doesn't work best for me. What do you think are other strategies? Like adjusting the reso head or something I've never heard of.
More than likely, some of the springs have been stretched farther than the rest. Clean sound depends on all the springs being uniform. If this is the case, no amount of taping will silence the buzz. I suggest replacing the spring unit. At Musician's Firend, a bassic one is less than $30 US. Take a look on this parts…[Read more]
take the wires off completely from the snare un-tighten the snare tighteners and then put then back on then tighten the snare until you cant hear any buzz thats what i did

I have a question, what is the easiest way to dampen the sound of my drums?
There's lots of ways Taylor! Have you tried O-rings or moongel?
No I haven't, but thanks! I'll definitely look into it
I normally don't use much in the way of dampening, even for rock (other than kick drum). I try to work at tuning them as evenly as possible to eliminate unwanted overtones, which is usually the ring we complain about. However, for recording, although I keep the same heads and tuning, I have at times used a small amount of foam weatherstripping…[Read more]

Human Services
Bachelor of Science (S. B.)
Majors in Elmira College's Human Services program may fulfill the requirements for either the General Human Services degree (Option I) or also the Human Services degree with specialization (Option II). Human Service specializations include: Correctional Services and Early Childhood Services. Both options require the completion of the Human Services Practicum, an internship in an occupational setting related to the student's career goals. The Practicum also meets Elmira College's Career Related Field Experience requirement.
Those completing this major are prepared either to pursue careers in social service agencies or to seek graduate study; it is an excellent preparation for seeking a Master's in Social Work, for example.
The Human Services major is interdisciplinary, including study in such related fields as Psychology, Sociology, and sometimes Criminal Justice. Many of the higher-achieving HMS majors choose to double major.

Whether you use it for business or for leisure texting, the key feature of the Nokia E5 the QWERTY keyboard is quite up to scratch. If a good keyboard is a must, the E5 is one of the cheaper options, and the feature-rich package is quite tempting. read more →

The Nokia E5 is a solid, affordable messaging smartphone, but it feels increasingly obsolete as we head into 2011. read more →
- Quality construction and QWERTY keyboard
- Free, global GPS navigation
- Low price for an unlocked smartphone.
The Nokia E5 is not a great looking handset, and it certainly doesn't have the wow factor that the E72 has in our eyes. And with a largely plastic chassis, bolstered by a metal backplate, it might not be all that robust.
But what goes on inside is mostly good stuff. We do wish there were a way of Nokia getting a larger screen into play, though. Even by squeezing the central button bar to get us another centimetre of height would be welcome. read more →

- Ovi Maps doesn't do much for walkers
- Symbian S60's nested menu system irritates
Never have I both loved and hated a device as much as the Nokia E5-00. Before we move on to my thoughts on the E5 itself, let's get some facts straight here. Symbian v9.x is old and dated and there really is no other way of putting it. While it certainly gets the job done, and in some cases does pretty well, it still is an aging platform that doesn't try very hard to hide its shortfalls. read more →
We would be happy to recommend the Nokia E5. With a slightly more lackluster finish at a more appealing price-tag than its E72 sibling, and most other similarly classed phones, it certainly does the key things it needs to do pretty well. The slightly unrefined finish of the Nokia E5 does crop up from time to time, with the screen resolution, cramped keypad and awkward volume-rocker occasionally hindering use. read more →

Men's Soccer Results (Sept. 14)
Detroit 2, Green Bay 1
Milwaukee 1, Northern Illinois 0
Loyola 1, IPFW 0
Bowling Green 1, Cleveland State 0
Western Michigan 1, Valparaiso 0
Niagara 3, Wright State 0
INDIANAPOLIS – In the first Horizon League match of the year, Detroit knocked off Green Bay, while Milwaukee and Loyola collected non-conference wins on Friday night.
Detroit 2, Green Bay 1
Detroit notched its first win over Green Bay in nearly seven years, opening its Horizon League schedule with a 2-1 victory over the Phoenix at Titan Field.
Green Bay (2-3-1, 0-1-0 Horizon) had the better run of play in the early minutes, taking four shots in the opening minutes and outshooting Detroit (3-4-0, 1-0-0 Horizon), 7-1, in the first half.
After the half, Green Bay held the momentum and scored the first goal of the game off a header in the 48th minute, when Sam Krenzien converted a corner from Whitney Browne.
Detroit found the equalizer in the 50th minute, when Adam Bedell converted a penalty kick to tie the game.
Just eight minutes last, Bedell assisted on Matt Harkema's game-winning goal, deflecting a ball to Harkema who flicked it into the far post at the 57:49 mark.
Milwaukee 1, Northern Illinois 0
Stuart McBain scored in the 33rd minute and goalkeeper John Shakon made four saves to help Milwaukee record a 1-0 shutout of Northern Illinois University in game one of the Lakeside Classic in Evanston, Ill.
Milwaukee (4-2-0) retains possession of the LeWang Trophy with the victory over the Huskies, a decision that also gives UWM four wins after six games for the first time since 2002 (4-1-1).
The shutout was the 13th of Shakon's career, moving into a tie for seventh on the all-time list. He preserved the win with those four saves on the day, including a pair of impressive stops on 20-yard NIU free kicks in both the 69th and 86th minutes.
McBain scored for the second time in his two UWM appearances, netting the difference-maker at the 32:52 mark.
Laurie Bell started the play with a corner kick, finding Riley Weiner near the top of the box. He chested the ball forward to the feet of McBain, who's attempt was headed towards the goal before deflecting off a backline defender and easily past the NIU goalkeeper.
Northern Illinois did end up with an advantage of 15-to-14 in shots, but UWM posted a slim 6-to-4 edge in shots on goal. NIU had eight of the 12 corner kicks, with each team receiving four yellow cards apiece.
Bell's assist on McBain's goal gave him a team-high nine points on the season and a goal or assist in the past five games in a row.
Loyola 1, IPFW 0
An 88th minute goal sent Loyola to its first win of the season, 1-0, over visiting IPFW.
Loyola (1-4-0) snapped a four-match losing streak to open the year, with Peter McKeown tossing in four saves and Jake Savino tallying a goal in the 89th minute.
After a scoreless first half, Loyola pressed forward in the second half, finally converting on Savino's first goal of the year. After a scramble in the box, Savino's first goal of the year sent the Ramblers to the win.
Trailing by two goals with 12 minutes to play, UIC rallied for two goals in the final minutes of regulation before settling for a 2-2 tie with IUPUI in the opener of the UIC Soccer Classic.
UIC (1-4-1) had 27 shots in the match and eight on goal, picking up a 10-2 advantage in corner kicks, but found itself down 2-0 after Kyle Hyland gave the visiting Jaguars a two-goal advantage in the 78th minute.
The Flames came right back, however, as Ivan Stanisavljevic converted a penalty kick following an IUPUI foul in the box.
The margin cut in half, UIC would find the equalizer three minutes later when Josh Beard sent a cross into the box, where it was deflected to Joel Salmeron. Salmeron's header beat the keeper, sending the match to overtime.
After a first overtime in which neither team had a shot, UIC put forth four shots in the second overtime, only to miss the goal on each.
Bowling Green 1, Cleveland State 0
Bowling Green scored in the 14th minute and held on for a 1-0 victory over Cleveland State at Krenzler Field.
Cleveland State (3-2-0) put five of its 17 shots on goal, but could not beat Bowling Green's keeper. Zach Ellis-Hayden had the Vikings' final chance of the night, but his shot was saved with just under two minutes to play.
Western Michigan 1, Valparaiso 0
Valparaiso had the better of the offense, but Western Michigan held off the Crusader attack to post a 1-0 victory on Friday.
Valparaiso (1-3-1) had 16 shots and six shots on goal compared to the five and two of Western Michigan, but could not push the ball into the goal.
Western Michigan scored in the 31st minute and held on from there, using a relentless defensive attack to subdue Valparaiso. Twenty-one Bronco fouls and seven yellow cards helped stymie the Crusader offense.
Niagara 3, Wright State 0
Despite holding the advantage in shots and corner kicks, Wright State could not overcome a strong Niagara counter attack, falling 3-0, at Alumni Field.
Wright State (2-5-0) had 18 shots and five corners, compared to seven shots and two corners for Niagara, but the Purple Eagles found the back of the net on three of their six shots on goal.
Jack Welsh's goal in the 40th minute proved to be the game-winner, and with Wright State pressing up to try and find the tying goal, Niagara added two second-half tallies to secure the win.

Customizing SMF > Modifications and Packages
Menu Editor Lite
Fantastic, great to hear it! :)
I installed this mod, and it has crashed my forum.
I get this error
Table 'tlsjumpn_smfv1.smf_menu_items' doesn't exist
File: /home/tlsjumpn/public_html/forum/Sources/menu_source/resources/main.php
Line: 62
Any ideas what to do?
And no, unfortunatly my last backup was before i installed this forum, hoping not have to start all over again if i can't fix the issue.
*hits self in back of head for not doing a cpanel backup before installing mod*
Look in the mod and fin the database instructions file. Extract and run it from your forum directory.
For some reason, that did not happen during the auto install
I have found a file called
menu_db_install.php when i extracted the zip file locally on my mac.
Not sure what you mean, do I upload that to the server, then run the php file?
Do i just run it in the root smf folder, eg, domain.com/forum?

Photography was always something I thought I would like to try sometime but raising a family and making a living seemed to keep that interest in the background for many years. In 2008, several years after I retired from teaching kindergarten, my husband and I had a chance to travel to Europe. We had also recently bought our first digital camera. The ease of digital along with the astounding scenery all around got me hooked! From that point on I wanted to learn everything I could about photography. I was basically starting from scratch since I knew nothing about camera settings, focal length, etc. So I read everything I could find about photography and then purchased a DSLR camera. My photography passion had begun!
Nature has always been a very important part of my life. On walks with my dad when I was a child I was taught to notice the world around me and appreciate the wonder of nature and all of God's creation. To this day being out in nature is balm for my soul and necessary for my well-being. When I took up photography it suddenly gave me a way to express my joy in nature and be able to preserve and share some of that wonder with others. It wasn't possible to do lots of traveling for the sake of my photography so my interests fairly quickly focused in on close-up photography which allowed me to explore the often unnoticed beauty all around me. My backyard and local environs became and still are my main shooting location.
Joining NPN has been a real boost to my photography education. The critiques and comments by fellow photographers provide opportunity to keep learning and refining my skills. Their affirmations keep me encouraged to continue on this learning journey. I have gradually been achieving some recognition for my photos: I had a picture published in the June 2011 issue of "Outdoor Photographer"; I recently won a macro photo exhibit contest sponsored by Tamron lens; I have also won a flora macro contest on another forum website. And the journey continues on. Not sure where my photography interests will take me in the future but it sure is a wonderfully fulfilling and creative ride to be on!

UPDATED: Hopkins School Board Rejects Edina Detachment Bid
Directors voted unanimously to keep Parkwood Knolls and Walnut Drive properties in the district.
UPDATED 10:05 p.m. Dec. 20 -- Parkwood Knolls and Walnut Drive property owners—organized as advocacy group Unite Edina 273—asked to leave the Hopkins school district for Edina schools because they think Hopkins schools are not in locations that serve the families' educational needs.
However, School Board directors voted unanimously that it's in the district's best interest for the neighborhoods to remain in the Hopkins school district.
The decision was made in part because of the financial ramifications to the district and other taxpayers. A Nov. 29 study that concluded that detachment would cost Hopkins more than $550,000 in lost revenue, inch up taxes on remaining Hopkins property owners and cause taxes on the transferring properties to surge.
The School Board whipped through the vote without discussion following an administration presentation that echoed information in the report published prior to the meeting. At the conclusion of that presentation, Superintendent John Schultz recommended rejection of the request and presented directors with a resolution stating the district's reasons for opposing it, including:
- The financial impact on taxpayers,
- A duty to be good stewards of the district's resources and taxpayer money,
- The reasoned, representative process of putting the existing boundaries together,
- The availability of open enrollment and
- Opposition from other school district committees.
"Whereas, in our judgment detachment is not in the best interest of all the landowners and citizen's (sic) concerned," the resolution stated.

While there was no discussion when the item was under consideration, a few residents did speak during the open agenda portion of the meeting—a time when anyone may address the board on issues that concern them.
Despite a crowd of United Edina supporters, two of the three people who spoke opposed the detachment request. Matthew McNeil—a Hopkins resident, Edina High School grad and former co-president of the Gatewood Elementary PTO—said it could lead to something like Vikings owner Zygi Wilf threatening to move the team out of Minnesota if he didn't get a new stadium. Neighborhoods may shop around for a school district willing to include their preferred teaching agenda, for example.
"It's a dangerous precedent to set to allow one neighborhood to rip itself out of a school district and put itself in a different school district," McNeil said. "This comes down to personal accountability. It's that plain and simple. People make choices. Every member of Unite Edina 273 knew what school district they were buying into when they purchased their house. Every single one of them."
United Edina supporters mostly stayed out of Thursday's discussion. Alan Koehler, who's spearheading the detachment effort, was the only one who spoke on their behalf. He noted his disappointment with the report and the administration's recommendation but largely limited his comments to thanking the board for a chance to bring the issue forward.
In an interview afterward, Koehler said he wasn't surprised by the vote.
"When we talked to other members of the neighborhood and found out how far it went back, it wasn't because people didn't try or try hard," Koehler said.
Still, he said it's the first time he knows of that the board has actually voted on the request. Once the legislative session resumes, he plans to revisit bills that Edina lawmakers introduced last session to see whether the law needs to be changed.
For now, though, Koehler has more immediate plans: "I'm going to enjoy my holidays," he said.

What a bunch of B.S. crappy school district under water b/c of bad fiscal policies, sports good only b/c they recruit out of district kids, so they want to take Edina tax payers money b/c they are "rich". What a joke.
A. Dad

Hopkins schools are afraid of losing money and so their Board is protecting the status quo for the sake of their bottom line. They have said nothing about there being so few Edina pupils actually attending their schools... The petitioning Edina residents have kids who are flung across town at random if they are lucky enough to be chosen by lottery to "open enroll" in their own city, and most are thus not attending the same school as their neighbor friends across the street, leaving them with no sense of cohesion or identification with their local schools. But to Hopkins, it is all about $$$ apparently, not about the well being of actual children and communities.

If this was reversed the Edina School district would be doing the very same thing. Looks like Unite Edina should seek a resolution that doesn't harm the rest of the remaining kids in the Hopkins School District, if that's possible. And the only way that appears to be possible is legislatively, or as the report showed, submit to a consolidation plat process, which requires consent of both boards and a vote by voters, or get the open enrollment law changed ..... Lots of options remaining .....

Homeowners knew this was Hopkins schools when they purchased.

As a homeowner of 22 years and Hopkins parent in the affected neighborhood , I felt offended at the hints of entitlement by a group of homeowners who knowingly bought homes and found it wasn't exactly what they desired. Open enrollment in any district in Minnesota puts the responsibility of the decision in the parents hands. Edina is fundamentally responsible to the voters within their boundaries. They close for open enrollment in order to allow ample room for homes within their boundary. Hopkins is fundamentally responsible to the property tax payers and students within their boundaries whose education is impacted by funding. If the issue was actually proximity, why were condominiums and townhomes that flank 169 not included in the Unite Edina proposal? That seems to go to the heart of ------> not all Edina, just the part of Edina you want. If 'status quo' protects our district's fiscal house and reminds those who buy in any neighborhood "caveat emptor", kudos School Board.
8:04 am on Friday, December 21, 2012
perfectly said, will be interested in hearing any defense regarding the town homes/apartments that flank 169.

I applaud your analysis, GTL, and also applaud the school board for their action. Hopkins is a terrific school district - three teachers of the year in 2012 alone - and bravo to our hard-working directors and administration for keeping us that way!

Way to go Hopkins!! The boundaries are set. Hopkins district has SLP, Minnetonka, Plymouth, Edina and wayzata addresses. Should all of those addressees try and bid out because they don't live in "Hopkins"??

THE NUMBERS ARE WRONG! Throughout this process, Hopkins School Board has provided (& Patch has re-printed) deceptive information. There are many examples, but to start with one:
In the School Board Report, the Board asserts that Hopkins schools are almost as close to the proposed detach. area as Edina schools.But the data provided are intended to mislead.
You might think that, to determine the distance of the proposed detachment area to various schools, they'd measure from the CENTER of the detach. area to the schools. Instead, they measure from 2 points w/in the detachment area:
--Point 1 which is in the far NW corner of the detachment area (the area closest to Hopkins schools and furthest from Edina schools)
--Point 2, which they refer to as the "Southeast corner" of the detachment area.
(And you think this must be the point closest to the Edina schools, which they are using to be fair, since the 1st point was closest to the Hopkins schools). But this 2nd point is not the closest point to the Edina schools. It is not even in the southern part of the detachment area. (See map of detach. area.)
(using Mapquest, from intersec. of Vernon & Walnut Dr.)
Dist. to Hopkins HS: 6.54 miles
Dist. to Edina HS: 1.89 miles
Using Mapquest's Bike option:
Time to Hopkins HS: 42 minutes
Time to Edina HS: 8 minutes
(The Board's Property tax info. is equally misleading.)
If they're truly in the right, why do they use deceptive #'s?
James Warden
9:27 am on Friday, December 21, 2012
Patch didn't rely on the district's information for distances. I used three points (two in the northern portion and one in the southern portion) selected for their different proximity to the school districts involved — one as close as possible to Hopkins schools and one as close as possible to Edina schools. This offered a range of distances. One of those points was actually the same as you used above. Here is the process I used, quoted from the earlier story:
"*All distances and times are according to MapQuest. Distances for the northern portion were measured from the intersection of Lincoln Drive and Malibu Drive for the northwestern corner and Pine Grove Road and Blake Road South for the southeastern corner. Distances for the southern portion were measured from the intersection of Vernon Avenue South and Walnut Drive."

12:12 pm on Tuesday, January 8, 2013
Hi James,
In response to your comment, (below):
When I plug-in the addresses to Mapquest, I get different distance #'s than you referenced in the earlier article. For example, when Mapquest calculates the driving distance from the intersection of Vernon Ave. & Walnut Dr. to Edina HS (6754 Valley View Rd.), I get a distance of 1.86 miles. Your article stated the distance was 2.36 miles. Furthermore, your article did not compare middle schools, and Hopkins middle schools are significantly further from the proposed detachment neighborhood than Edina middle schools.
The apparent bias in your numbers and data selection is probably the result of internal Mapquest settings (such as whether to use freeways, etc.), and a desire on your part not to overwhelm the reader with too much data, in which case nobody is really "at fault."
However, I'm sure you can understand how a supporter of detachment would see these numbers, along with which data were presented, and assume there was a bias. Going forward, could you and the rest of the Patch reporters please be a little more careful that, when you write articles regarding this detachment effort, you do so in a way that does not disproportionately harm people who support detachment (or those who oppose it, for that matter). Thank-you in advance.

Glad to see Hopkins finally got their fiscal house in order. Not that way a few years ago. With all the tax dollars from the "rich" communities of mtka, ply, wayz, Edina, they should be doing better.
Maury Ballsteen
3:57 pm on Friday, December 21, 2012
You do realize that the Hopkins School District is an independant organization than the municipal government of Hopkins, right? They aren't taking money from other communities, they are taking money from their school district.
Would you feel better if the name of the school district wasn't 'Hopkins?'
Chaska/Chanhassen schools went through the same thing about a decade ago. "Chaska School District" no longer exists. It moved from being called Chaska Schools, to ISD 112, to now being called 'Eastern Carver County Schools.' They made the name change in order to better reflect the communities they served.
It also help quiet down the the people who struggled with such confusing topics as naming conventions for school districts.
4:05 pm on Friday, December 21, 2012
perhaps HH would prefer it to be called Hopkins/Minnetonka/Plymouth/Golden Valley/Wayzata/Eden Prairie/Edina......get over it people. Hopkins was protecting their students and the money they are receiving from that neighborhood is within our boundaries....... Open enroll out is your prerogative, but how absurd to ask for those tax dollars to follow you. Those tax dollars are there to help ALL the children in your home school district. Which is Hopkins. My child shouldn't suffer because you open enroll out.
4:16 pm on Friday, December 21, 2012
Seems like a win win to me. You can open enroll out of Hopkins to a "better" school and we keep the money allocated for your child's education to invest in our children at Hopkins.
Mac M.
12:13 am on Saturday, December 22, 2012
I'm confused with the statement by A. Dad that this is all about $$$ for Hopkins and "not about the well-being of actual children and communities". Hopkins needs to be financially responsible to everyone in their district, so budget should be a significant consideration in making this decision. They would not be a good School Board if they did not contemplate the financial impact. What I am baffled by is the placing of blame on Hopkins implying that the school board is not concerned about the children. Was it not the decision of the Unite Edina home owners to purchase a home in the Hopkins School District, and was it not their decision to open enroll their children into a different school district? It seems clear that it was the home owners' choices that led to the fracture in their community, resulting in the children's loss of "cohesion and identification with their local schools". Had the home owners of Unite Edina committed themselves to the school district they purchased their homes in, the children would be cohesive and have identity with their school. Home owners, please don't blame the Hopkins School District for THEIR lack of concern over the "well being" of these children, accept the responsibility for this as you have chosen to send your children out of district. Bottom line, if you want your kids to attend Edina Schools and you don't want to open enroll, perhaps you should purchase a home within their district lines.

Nicely said, Mac M. That has been my frustration since my home was first fliered about this well over a year ago asking for my support. I could simply not understand, and still don't, how people who made a real estate decision of their own volition would dare to ask an entire community to change their structure and organization for their desire. Our son has attended Hopkins schools since early childhood. Our elementary was Katherine Curren and a was a small cohesive neighborhood community. Parents I met from our years there are still my dearest friends. Our son played Hopkins Little League. We shopped at the Hopkins Farmers market. Hopkins IS our village. Having an Edina address never make a lick of difference to the community to which we belonged. That is a specious reason, and I believe may be covering up the deeper story: the company who owns undeveloped land in Parkwood Knolls is behind this for financial gain. Read their advertising literature. It is clear they do NOT highlight the location as a Hopkins schools neighborhood. They highlight Edina schools bus service. Shameful and misrepresents reality.

CD/LP/Track Review
Frank Kimbrough: Lullabluebye (2004)
Any opportunity to listen to Frank Kimbrough's trio is apt to be well worth the investment in time and concentration. It's unlikely that you will be able to get by without making the investment, however; his is not mood music or background music, while you're concentrating on something else. Although ever accessible, it is sometimes freeform and unfettered, other time focused and disciplined, but always thoughtful and genuine; just when you think you have it figured out, it frequently springs a surprise. If you're willing to make the effort, it will meet you more than halfway, and it can take you to light and mystical places in an almost Zen-like way you may not have believed possible.
Kimbrough has been making distinctive, original music for many years; since arriving in New York from North Carolina in 1981, he has recorded more than a dozen albums as leader or co-leader. More importantly, he has surrounded himself with kindred spirits who share his quest and understand their importance as partners in his ventures. Ben Allison, for instance, bassist and composer of one of two selections here that are not Kimbrough originals (the other being John Barry's "You Only Live Twice," from the James Bond movie of that name), co-founded the thriving Jazz Composers Collective with Kimbrough a dozen years ago. In addition, Allison joined with him to found the Herbie Nichols Project, a working band with rotating personnel dedicated to keeping alive the memory and compositions of that significantly under-recognized pianist. Drummer Matt Wilson has worked with Kimbrough since 1993.
The trio format is Kimbrough's favorite, and within it many magical things happen on this recording. The title tune is simple and bluesy in a Monkish manner, wry and piquant. "Centering," part of a larger work commissioned by Chamber Music America's Doris Duke Jazz Ensembles Project, is wistful and a bit nostalgic, a longing for one's place (and a little peace) in this world. "Kid Stuff," on the other hand, is rhythmic and dancing, light, contented and carefree. With "Ode," dedicated to Kimbrough's friend and mentor Andrew Hill, rhythmic freedom is explored in a context that is at once both "jazzy" and dignified. The move toward freer blowing continues with "Whirl," which initially centers on a spunky little phrase, leading to a frenetic bass solo in 6/8 meter; then it spins off, anchored loosely by that phrase. This tune is frequently used as a set-closer. "Ghost Dance," inspired by the music of Annette Peacock, is most appropriately named.
"Fu Bu," says Kimbrough, is about questioning authority; it again centers on an off-kilter phrase and contains remarkable free solo work by Allison. The latter's tune, in a laid-back, moderate tempo, has a wry wit about it, a Monkish dissonance, with unexpected chord changes and another noteworthy bass solo. The album closes satisfyingly with "Eventualities," which starts with a pensive, out-of-tempo solo piano musing. When the rhythm section enters, Allison is given the freedom to determine chord changes from a given set of notes over a G pedal, so the harmonic possibilities are nearly unlimited. Like life, it's all about dealing with whatever comes up.
Track Listing: 1) Lullabluebye (4:47); 2) Centering (4:20); 3) Kid Stuff (5:49); 4) Ode (5:51); 5) Whirl (5:23); 6) Ghost Dance (6:42); 7) You Only Live Twice (6:06); 8) Fu Bu (4:36); 9) Ben

Sometimes, people do stupid things. For instance, why would a man who had everything throw it away for an extra-marital affair, as 2008 Presidential hopeful John Edwards did? Was his affair with New York party girl Rielle Hunter really worth it? Not to say he had a chance against Barack Obama in his run for president, but defeat would have been better than being paraded around the talk show circuit by his wife, Elizabeth.

Dieringer selected to CoSIDA Academic All America Second Team
MILWAUKEE -- MSOE women's track and field senior Emily Dieringer (Saukville, Wis./Port Washington) was named to the Capital One/CoSIDA Academic All-America Second Team in the NCAA Division III women's track and field category. Dieringer is a biomedical engineering major with a 3.95 GPA.
Athletically, Dieringer completed her four-year career as one of MSOE's brightest stars. At the 2012 Northern Athletic Conference Women's Outdoor Track and Field Championships, she took the top spot in the 200-meter dash with a time of 26.19 and a pair of second place finishes in the 100-meter hurdles and 100 meter dash, with times of 15.59 and 12.73 seconds, respectively. She also placed fourth in the pole vault at 2.88 meters.
Her time in the 200m dash and 100m hurdles broke school records formerly held by NCAA ALL American Catherine Chappell (2006). Dieringer is the third MSOE Student-Athlete during the 2011-2012 school year to be named an Academic All American (Dan Hosko-Men's Soccer, Carol Cayo-Women's Basketball). She becomes MSOE's 14th student-athlete to garner this award. The Academic All America team is selected by College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) and recognizes the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performance on the track and in the classroom.

Soup-erman Returns
The Los Angeles Kings re-signed another key member of the Manchester Monarchs. Defenseman Andrew Campbell and the Kings agreed to terms on a two-year contract supplying the organization with depth at the defense that is sure to be needed throughout the regular season and another run for the Stanley Cup.
Campbell finished the 2011-12 season with a career-high 17 assists and 19 points and was one of only two Monarchs (Thomas Hickey) to appear in all 76 games last season. He was also continuously called upon to shut down the top opposing offensive players in almost every possible situation.
The 6-foot-3, 207 pound blueliner's value on the ice was recognized when he was recalled to the Kings following the conclusion of the Monarchs post-season run. Campbell was recalled as one of the Kings' "Black Aces" who practice in Los Angeles with the team and serve as one of the emergency back-up players in the playoffs.
"It was a great experience to be around NHL playoff hockey and to see how intense and competitive the games are," said Campbell of his time in Los Angeles. "Obviously, I had a great group of guys to be there with so we all enjoyed it together."
Campbell has been patiently waiting his turn to be with the Kings but says he was excited to see many of his friends and former teammates win the Stanley Cup.
"You are proud of all the guys that you have played with in the past and battled with in the past and to see them get rewarded and lift the Cup was pretty cool," explained Campbell. "I played with Slava (Voynov) a couple years as 'D' partners. I played with (Alec) Martinez, (Davis) Drewiske, (Kevin Westgarth) Westy, (Dwight King) Kinger and (Jordan) Nolan and all those guys that have been a part of the Monarchs the last few years. It is a pretty cool feeling to see them achieve their dream since they were little kids."
Campbell's signing came about a two weeks after teammates and his roommates, center Marc-Andre Cliche and left wing Rich Clune, re-signed with the Kings. Their signing with the Kings only reconfirmed where Campbell wanted to be entering the 2012-13 season.
"Obviously, when they re-sign two guys like that who are two very high character guys and two team first guys," said Campbell. "They are both really good friends of mine so when I saw them come back, I knew things were good. I kind of knew all along with where I was going to be."
Campbell has never been shy about sacrificing his body to block shots. If there is something Campbell can do to help the team win games, he will do. However, it does not come with out with a price as he takes his fair share of bumps and bruises throughout the grind of the season.
"I am feeling great," said Campbell of his healing body. "I have been training hard and trying to get bigger and get stronger, so I feel really good with where I am at right now and hopefully I come into training camp and have a positive one and perform really well."
Look for many of the Kings prospects to battle for what few roster spots there may be with the Kings in training camp this September.

Morning Edition shows potential
After some last-minute tweaks to the studio backdrop's blue-orange mélange, Morning Edition has broken onto RTÉ screens and already its potential is as clear as daylight - potential to increase daytime viewing habits in Ireland, potential to begin a tradition for regular rolling television news and potential to make a star of main presenter Keelin Shanley.
"You're very welcome to our very first programme," she says at 9am, before introducing a timeline of what the next two hours of the RTÉ One / RTÉ News Now weekday show will look like.
It's the epitome of how its editor, Anthony Murnane, describes its target tone: "light and shade".
The big news story of the morning is a grim one - the killing of Det Garda Adrian Donohoe in Co Louth on Friday night.
Also coming up, Shanley tells viewers, is the first part of her pre-recorded interview with Microsoft founder Bill Gates, a segment on job-hunting and a chat with Joe O'Shea about The Gambling Gene, his RTÉ Two documentary (cross-promotion being something of a daytime TV staple).
A conversation with Alan Duffy, a friend of Det Garda Donohoe, via a live link to Dundalk, and a clip of Diarmuid Breathnach playing tribute to his friend, the wildlife broadcaster Éamon de Buitléar who died yesterday, are the type of interviews that would be squeezed to mere seconds on a half-hour news bulletin, but here can be played out.
Irish audiences might be more familiar with such personal, even intimate, material as "good radio", but it also makes for compelling television.
The sports and business segments work well, too, but on today's evidence it is the daily newspaper review, smoothly anchored by Shanley, that is a particular strong point. An easy-to-do item that fits perfectly with the show's "intelligent but accessible" editorial style, this morning it was the turn of political correspondents, the Irish Daily Star's Catherine Halloran and my colleague Mary Minihan, to take us through coverage of the garda killing, the European Central Bank telling the Government "not so fast", the incredible survival skills of James Reilly and (in an "and finally" touch) the tragic end of Jedward's recording contract.
If this was Sky News, the fact that all three people on screen talking current affairs were women would be unremarkable, but this is not Sky News, it's RTÉ, which puts out all-male panels so often it means this paper review line-up is still, sadly, remarkable.
Of course, live telly wouldn't be live telly without the odd glitch, and the show soon suffers its first technical hitch, as a report by Ciarán Mullooly about a charity song "that's designed to lift the country's spirits" freezes up within seconds - the nation's morale, it seems, is not for improving.
Being relaxed about mistakes is a tricky but vital on-air skill, but Shanley pulls it off, moving swiftly along to the Bill Gates interview.
I must admit my heart sank slightly last week when RTÉ announced the debut Morning Edition would feature Gates - a big name who happens to be in town isn't the same thing as a scintillating interviewee (witness Graham Norton's recent perfunctory exchange with Tom Cruise).

Bomb Shopkeeper
From Zelda Wiki, the Zelda encyclopedia
Bomb Shopkeeper | |
Gender | Male |
Game(s) | A Link to the Past |
The Bomb Shopkeeper is a small elephant-like creature that has a talent for constructing bombs in A Link to the Past. He owns the Bomb Shop in the Dark World, exactly where Link's House appears in the Light World. He appears to have a cold that will not go away, as he is always sneezing.
When Link first meets him, he is working on building the most explosive bomb ever, but it takes him some time. So, at first he sells only regular bombs, but later, when Link has recovered six of the crystals, he sells a Super Bomb that allows Link to access the Mysterious Pond at the base of the Pyramid of Power.

Decentralized Market
Definition of 'Decentralized Market'A market structure that consists of a network of various technical devices that enable investors to create a marketplace without a centralized location. In a decentralized market, technology provides investors with access to various bids/ask prices and makes it possible for them to deal directly with other investors/dealers rather than with a given exchange. |
Investopedia explains 'Decentralized Market'The foreign exchange market is an example of a decentralized market because there is no one physical location where investors go to buy or sell currencies. Forex traders can use the internet to check the quotes of various currency pairs from different dealers from around the world. |
