Carl Pettersson came prepared for the cannon blast in Monday's opening ceremony for the 45th RBC Heritage.
As the professional golfer walked towards the heavy artillery on the 18th fairway of Harbour Town Golf Links, he slipped a pair of hunter orange plugs into his ears.
Tradition asks the defending Heritage champ to hit a ceremonial tee shot into Calibogue Sound as the cannon fires. With his earplugs, Pettersson was ready for the boom. It was the vintage wooden club sitting next to the cannon that threw him for a loop.
"Equipment has changed over the years, that's for sure," Pettersson said. "I was actually wondering if I was going to get it airborne."
The stocky Sweede didn't disappoint the thousands of fans and dignitaries in attendance, striking the ball with precision just as the cannon went off, shaking the ground.
"I put a little fade on it out there," Pettersson said.
The ability to shape a shot is critical at Harbour Town, and nobody did it better than Pettersson last year. He used a string of early birdies to pull away from the field and held on for a dominant five-stroke victory in 2012.
"The memories started coming back as I walked up the 18th green," Pettersson said. "This is a cool tradition and I'm glad that I'm part of it. I know all the PGA Tour players love coming here. It's a special week and we're ready for the week to start."
Heritage Week officially started with bagpipes and a tartan parade, featuring dignitaries such as Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., Hilton Head Island Mayor Drew Laughlin, Heritage Classic Foundation chairman Simon Fraser and popular entertainer Gregg Russell.
"It is my pleasure to welcome you to the RBC Heritage Presented by Boeing," Laughlin said to the crowd. "This is a time that we on Hilton Head look forward to. The Heritage is deeply woven into the fabric of our community."
Monday's opening ceremonies were followed by a practice round for professionals and a pro-am presented by Boeing. Tuesday offers another practice round for professionals and Coca-Cola Youth Day from 3-4 p.m.
Official tournament play is Thursday through Sunday.
Heritage tournament director Steve Wilmot feels the excitement created by the Masters will carry over to his event this week, considering several golfers from that leaderboard are here for the Heritage.
"Augusta is just three hours away," Wilmot said. "If the Masters was in Texas, it wouldn't mean what it means to us. We're somewhat the same demographic and in somewhat of the same market. We had people call and ask, 'Is Jason Day in? Is Brandt Snedeker in? Is Marc Leishman in? Is Adam Scott in?' Unfortunately, he's not, but there is a connection between us and Augusta to a certain degree."
Scott's playoff victory over Angel Cabrera helped provide a 26 percent boost in overnight ratings for the Masters on CBS. The Golf Channel and CBS will broadcast this year's RBC Heritage Thursday through Sunday.
Tiger Woods' ball-drop fiasco was the talk of the Masters last week. The defending champion of the RBC Heritage, Carl Pettersson, experienced a similar situation at last year's PGA Championship on Kiawah Island. He was penalized two strokes for tipping a leaf on his backswing and finished in third place, potentially losing a half million dollars.
"The ruling with Tiger was certainly a different one," Pettersson said on Monday. "I think golf has some silly rules. It just needs to be simplified, I think. With the call-in viewers and stuff, it's a little different (than other sports) I think."
Pettersson said he would like to see a different set of rules for the PGA Tour and the USGA.
"We do this every week," he said. "There's certain rules that could be changed that I think would simplify things for us a little bit more than some of the USGA rules."
Players Amateur champion Daniel Nisbet put on a show while a large crowd waited for Monday's opening ceremonies. The 21-year-old Australian and two other unidentified golfers approached the final hole of their practice round and decided to finish before the tartan parade started. After Nisbet dropped his chip on the green, many in the stands applauded. … Gov. Nikki Haley was scheduled to participate in opening ceremonies but did not make it in time due to poor weather conditions. Haley was instrumental in the Heritage securing sponsorship after Verizon dropped out in 2011. … Presenting sponsor Boeing announced it will provide another flyover in Friday's round. A 787 Dreamliner made a low-altitude flyover at last year's tournament.
Former world No. 1 Luke Donald and Snedeker highlight the 2013 RBC Heritage field, which features 10 of the top 25 golfers in the world rankings.

Whopper of the Week: Ari Fleischer
Gaslighting the press about nation-building.
"Q: When did the President change his mind about nation-building?
"A: Can you be more specific? What are you referring to?
"Q: Well, the New York Times really strongly interprets his speech yesterday—something that you want to build—now you're going to take care of health, welfare, and education of the Afghans in the aftermath of the hostilities. That's nation-building.
"A: The President has always been for those. I think what you're getting—
"Q: He's always been for—
"A: Do you have any evidence to the contrary?
"Q: Well, every statement by you—
"A: And what were those statements, Helen?
"Q: —that you don't believe in nation-building.
"A: What were the statements that I made that would indicate that?
"Q: And the President's campaign.
"A: What statement in particular, if you're going to accuse the President of changing policy?
"Q: The President said he didn't—I can't give you word for word.
"A: Right. But here—I can.
"Q: But he said in the campaign that he did not believe in nation-building.
"A: Helen, I can give you word for word. And what the President said is that the purpose of the military should be to fight and win wars. The President has always believed in helping strengthen nations, and that's why the United States has been Afghanistan's largest supplier of food, health care, all the items of foreign aid that we provide to help build an infrastructure.
"Don't confuse that, which the President has always supported, with the use of the military as peacekeepers, the use of the military to do things other than fighting and winning wars. …
"Q: Then he equates nation-building with peacekeeping forces, right? That's what you're saying?
"A: I'm—what the President has said is that the military should be used to fight and win wars. The President does believe in helping nations to grow, to be successful. And you can call that nation-building if you want; the President has always been for that."
—White House press spokesman Ari Fleischer at an April 18 press conference.
"Q: There's been—some people are now suggesting that if you don't want to use the military to maintain the peace, to do the civil thing, is it time to consider a civil force of some kind, that comes in after the military, that builds nations or all of that? Is that—is that on your radar screen?
"A: Well—I don't think so. I think what we need to do is convince people who live in the lands they live in to build the nations. Maybe I'm missing something here. I mean, we're going to have kind of a nation-building corps from America? Absolutely not."
—Candidate George W. Bush in the second presidential debate, Oct. 11, 2000
Discussion. Observe the master at work. Fleischer throws his questioner off balance first by hectoring her, and then by creating a plausible-sounding distinction between nation-building by civilian agencies of the U.S. government (which Fleischer says Bush has always favored) and nation-building by the U.S. military (which Fleischer says Bush continues to oppose). In fact, though, Bush had previously made no such distinction—in the debate, he opposed nation-building by civilians or the military.

The Triathlon
Triathlon is a multi-sport event that consists of three parts, namely swimming, cycling and running (in that order), that are completed by either a single participant or a team. This particular year we're based in the beautiful Hussaini village in Hunza Nagar, an hour and a half journey by road from Karimabad. We have a range of activities planned for the weekend 2nd of September that's included in your ticket.
Set against the backdrop of the rocky outcrops of the infamous cathedral cones or locally known as the Passu Cones, the route will consist of a swim at Borith Lake, a transition to the bike and down onto the magnificently paved Karakoram Highway (KKH), passing alongside the Passu Glacier and heading back towards Borith Lake for the run around the lake. (Routes and distances will vary according to your race category).
Where in the world is Hunza? 🙄
Hunza is Pakistan's best kept secret and one of the safest regions of the country to travel to. It is nothing short of a cultural gem in a varied and magnificent landscape shaped by the mighty Karakorams which gives its unique and undeniable beauty that is worth experiencing.
It's beauty is magnified by the unique and intact culture of the tribal communities that have lived in these mountain regions and learnt to truly live with nature. From the hospitable and welcoming nature of the people, the glorious abundance of fruit to die for and the cultural history dating back a couple thousand years, Hunza has a lot to offer for the adventurous traveller.
Explore the map to see where you're heading!
Why take part in a triathlon?
An EPIC story to tell - being the first people to take part in a triathlon in the mountains of Pakistan. An open water swim in a lake sandwiched by glaciers on both sides, cycle on the Karakoram Highway passing by the stunning Passu Glacier with the Passu cones staring at you. And wrap it up on a challenging run back up to the lake.
We're a small team of passionate triathletes working with the local communities and tour organisers to provide the best possible adventure triathlon experience.
Hunza is waiting for you!

- Abstract:
- This study describes the epidemiology of pedestrian injuries to children and adolescents (ages <20) in an urban setting, providing analyses of environmental and pedestrian variables. Anonymous data were obtained for all motor vehicle crashes occurring in New York City over a 7-year period (1991-1997). Among 693,283 crashes, 97,245 resulted in injuries to 100,261 pedestrians of whom 32,578 were under age 20. Using census counts for the denominator, the overall incidence of pediatric pedestrian injuries was 246/100,000 per year, and the case fatality rate was 0.6%. Incidence rates peaked in the 6-14 year age group, and showed a modest annual decline during the study period. Younger children were more likely to be struck mid-block and during daylight hours, whereas adolescents were more likely to be struck at intersections and at night. For younger children, there was a sharp peak in incidence during the summer months. Road and weather conditions did not appear to affect injury risk. These results help identify priorities for child pedestrian injury prevention and education, inform public health policy, and direct emergency medical health services resource allocation.

A teenager who stabbed his cousin to death in a row over a £20 breakfast has been jailed for life.
Yusef Al-Jaaf, 19, knifed "popular and bright" business student Basel Aghabra, also 19, six times in a flat in Lisson Grove, northwest London.
The pair had been laughing and joking together minutes before the killing, but unemployed Al-Jaaf flew into a rage when they disagreed about money.
Mr Aghabra had lent Al-Jaaf £20 for breakfast, but the latter's demand for a further £10 sparked the argument that led to the attack.
During the row Al-Jaaf grabbed a knife from the kitchen and plunged it into his unarmed victim, before throwing the blade out of a window and calling 999 for an ambulance.
Mr Aghabra was pronounced dead less than an hour later, from a stab wound to the heart.
Al-Jaaf pleaded guilty to murder on the first day of his trial and was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum of 12 years six months at the Old Bailey.
The victim's older brother Khalid Aghabra described him as full of "fun, kindness and laughter".
In a statement he said: "Basel was a bright student, he studied business at college and had a place at Greenwich University in September."
"Losing him has affected the whole family and left a hole in our lives and our hearts."
Judge Richard Hone QC said: "You stabbed your cousin at least five times and he was stabbed in the back as well as the front of his body.
"Initially you told the 999 operator and police that someone else was responsible for the murder.
"It's apparent you were very distressed and shocked by what you have done.
"This was a sustained attack with a knife with injuries to the front and back of the victim which penetrated deeply into tissue and muscle."
Al-Jaaf, who was born in Baghdad, told police that Mr Aghabra had threatened to "cut him up" and came at him with the knife, and he had "not intended to do Basel any harm".
James Mulholland QC said in mitigation that Al-Jaaf is devastated by what he has done and suffers from mental health issues.
"He desperately tried to save him and this is something he deeply regrets," he added. "He has lost his close friend and cousin."
Detective Inspector Jamie Stevenson said: "This was a brutal murder with multiple stab wounds inflicted following what was a trivial dispute over a small amount of money. A heated argument has quickly escalated with tragic consequences. The only consolation to the family is that Al-Jaaf has done the decent thing and pleaded guilty, sparing the family the ordeal of a long and painful court case."

Dear All,
I am new to the pico&labview. I am trying to use 3 picoscope ( 5442B series) to collect all 12 channels data at the same time. Is it possible? I searched on the forum, it is said I need 3 handle values to let the computer know each devices. however, how can I achieve that in Labview? I have the program that can collect 1 picoscope data( 4 channels ), and it worked well. How can I adjust it to open 3 picoscopes? My program is attached.
Thank you all.

An algorithm has been developed by researchers to help diagnose depression and other mental illnesses in users of Instagram.
The online photo-sharing, video-sharing and social networking service has been utilised in a study by Andrew Reece of Harvard University and Chris Danforth of the University of Vermont to diagnose mental illness according to the colours a person uses in their photos.
Instagram has approximately 500 million users as of June 2016 and according to the study people who post darker coloured or greyer images on the site are more likely to suffer from depression, compared to those who have vibrant-coloured pictures.
Additionally, Reece and Danforth created a machine-learning algorithm that finds links between image properties and depression.
An image on Instagram that has vibrant colours can be modified with a feature called Inkwell that turns colour into black and white – the study spotted that more depressed people use Inkwell than non-depressed people.
The researchers asked 170 employees of Amazon's Mechanical Turk service who had Instagram accounts to fill out a questionnaire. Included was a standard clinical depression survey and the participants were also asked to share their Instagram images.
According to Tech Times, about 100 photographs were chosen from each participant and people were asked to rate them on a scale of 0 to 5 based on how interesting, sad or happy the photos looked. Each image was also categorised based on hue, saturation and the number of faces.
The machine-learning algorithm discovered that decreased brightness and saturation and increased hue foretold depression. The study also found that depressed and non-depressed people used photo filters differently. For instance, the researchers found that depressed people were less likely to use filters.
The algorithm had a 70 per cent chance of finding a person with depression and the researchers said: "More generally, these findings support the notion that major changes in individual psychology are transmitted in social media use, and can be identified via computational methods."
In their paper, Reece and Danforth reported: "Statistical features were computationally extracted from 43,950 participant Instagram photos, using colour analysis, metadata components, and algorithmic face detection.
"Resulting models outperformed general practitioners' average diagnostic success rate for depression. These results held even when the analysis was restricted to posts made before depressed individuals were first diagnosed.
"Photos posted by depressed individuals were more likely to be bluer, greyer, and darker. Human ratings of photo attributes (happy, sad, etc.) were weaker predictors of depression and were uncorrelated with computationally generated features."
Reece and Danforth believe that their new technique will help us better recognise and understand mental illness in people. It could also detect early-stage depression, which would aid in an effective diagnosis.

Brocade and EMC have a great history of working together to provide world class FICON attached storage solutions to IBM z Systems end users all over the globe. While that history is important, the future looks even brighter! I will be delivering a presentation as part of the mainframe track at EMC World 2015 and wanted to take this opportunity to share some of the things I will be discussing in the presentation.
It is no secret that the mainframe is used for running critical applications and workloads, regardless of industry. For many industries, such as banking and financial services, the mainframe plays an even more important role. The world's economy literally runs on modern mainframes such as the IBM z Systems z13. For these types of mission critical systems and workloads, it is imperative that the hardware used for the infrastructure is rock solid. You also need to have confidence in the company building those infrastructure components, such as the FICON directors. With 29+ years in the mainframe storage networking business going back to parallel channel extension, and with 6000+ FICON directors installed worldwide, Brocade is the company you can trust. That experience is a big reason why the 31 largest banks in the world today run their businesses on Brocade FICON SANs. Many of those Brocade FICON directors are EMC OEM'd Connectrix B series FICON directors.
A great history and all of that experience means nothing if you rest on the laurels of past accomplishments. The major emphasis of my presentation at EMC World will be a discussion of the new and innovative Brocade/Connectrix B Series FICON features that have been introduced over the past couple of years. Many of these features are unique to the Brocade FICON directors. After a very brief overview of the current product line, I will discuss these "Baker's Dozen". I will be discussing our Interchassis Links (ICLs), CUP Diagnostics, forward error correction (FEC), SAN Fabric I/O Priority, FICON Dynamic Routing (FIDR), Port Decommissioning, Clear Link diagnostics, and Fabric Vision to name a few. Also, I will discuss some of the things of importance with the new FICON Express 16S channels.
Following the presentation, Brocade and EMC will be hosting a reception. Myself, and several of my fellow Brocade mainframe team members, as well as EMC's mainframe experts will be available to answer questions that you may have. I am looking forward to EMC World and the presentation. I hope to see many of you there.
EMC Mainframe Brocade Session and Reception
Date: Tuesday, May 5 from 4:30 - 6:30pm (Pacific)
Location: Venetian on the 4th Floor Marcello 4404

Hi - we are always happy to hear from listeners to The Rights Track podcast. If you have a question for us or a suggestion, please get in touch by completing the form below.
The Rights Track podcast gets the hard facts about the human rights challenges facing the world today and aims to get our thinking about human rights on the right track. The podcast is hosted by Professor Todd Landman, a human rights scholar and champion for the advancement of human rights understanding. In Series 1, funded by the Nuffield Foundation, Todd interviews leading analysts at the forefront of the latest critical thinking on human rights. Each episode is an insightful, compelling and rigorous interview with academics engaged in systematic human rights research. In Series 2, funded by the Economic and Social Research Council, The Rights Track turns its attention to human rights advocates and practitioners involved in the struggle for human rights to learn more about their work and the ways in which academic research is helping them. Series 3 sees our podcast joining the fight to end modern day slavery by 2030. In partnership with the University of Nottingham's Right's Lab research project, we talk with researchers who are providing hard evidence about the scale of the problem and by recommending strategies that can help consign slavery to the history books. Although our interviews focus on often complex research, they have been developed with a much wider audience in mind and we want them to be accessible to anyone with an interest in human rights.

Water heaters are strange beasts in the world of home automation: They tend to rely on older sensors and plumbing to work, making it difficult to give them smart features. But the market is starting to change that with water heater automation products that finally bring smart features to this overlooked segment of the home.
The push toward smart water heaters is understandable. According to Energy.gov, water heater activity alone accounts for about 18 percent of the average utility bill after heating and cooling. Automation features targeting that chunk of change can lead to significant savings. Let's take a look at two of the smart water heater products already out the gate, Rheem's EcoNet and the Heatworks' Model 1.
Smart Water Heater Basics
There are two basic types of water heater automation on the market: Separate modules and full models.
Separate modules are designed to work with water heaters that you already have, so you do not have to buy an extra-expensive new heater to replace your current model – just an extra device or app. A great example of this sort of add-on is Rheem's EcoNet Home Comfort system, which offers wireless connection and control through a hub to a variety of devices, including Rheem water heaters and heat pumps.
Using this separate hub system and its compatible devices, you can take a look at how much water you are using, when you are using it, and where you can save on water heating costs. Specifically, these apps let you schedule heating times wirelessly to coincide with when you wake up, when you get home, and so on. Instead of heating water constantly throughout the day, your water heater will only heat it when you use it – and you save a lot of money in the process. The EcoNet app will also tell you if anything serious seems to be wrong, like leaks or other problems that require immediate action.
The Rheem app also pinpoints a problem with this type of add-on solution: Compatibility may be limited. At the moment, the water heater automation only works with Rheem's Prestige Hybrid model, and while Rheem intends to add more of its water heaters in the future, the constraints may still be annoying if you are searching for a solution for an older system. It's just more likely that these water heater-compatible hubs will only work with newer heaters and may be brand-locked as well.
The second option is a completely new water heater model that includes smart features: These tend to be smaller or "tankless" water heaters that are naturally designed to save you money, but add smart technology for remote control and programming. Take a look at the recent (and successful) Kickstarter project for Heatworks Model 1 for a great example of these heaters. You have to replace your current appliance, but once it is in you can control how much energy and water you use throughout the use.
The Model 1 in particular is unique because of its versatile connection with your plumbing. You can use one device for an apartment or small house, or several of the mini water heaters for a large house, potentially with multiple programs ready to go. For a more classic example of this same idea, consider the Energy Smart electric water heater by Whirlpool, which offers similar features (sans wireless, unfortunately) on a full tank.
Water Heater Automation: Pricing and Affordability
Talk about a price gap – there's a huge difference between the costs for a smart module and a whole new water heater. If you've got a compatible model, the Rheem EcoNet hub will only cost you about $99. A single Model 1, on the other hand, will set you back $395 for a single unit – and you may need more than one.
These prices are a far cry from the thousands of dollars a new water heater would cost, but they do pinpoint the extremes of the market at this point. If you have recently bought a new water heater, keep an eye out for automation products designed for it. If you need to upgrade your old model, consider diving into the digital water heater world to start saving extra money in your home.

A proposal detailing finance and service level plans for a regional fire service in South Snohomish County will be presented Wednesday, June 6 to elected officials representing nine jurisdictions.
The presentation will be made at the monthly meeting of the Regional Fire Authority Planning Committee. The meeting begins at 6 p.m. at Mukilteo City Hall, 11930 Cyrus Way, Mukilteo. All RFA Planning Committee meetings are open to the public.
Brier, Edmonds, Lynnwood, Mill Creek, Mountlake Terrace, Mukilteo, Woodway and Snohomish County Fire Districts 1 and 7 formed the exploratory RFA Planning Committee in March 2011. For more than a year, subcommittees on finance and service levels have been gathering, analyzing and combining information from each agency on fire-service finances, budgets and operations. The proposal that will be presented on June 6 combines the efforts of both subcommittees into a jointly recommended plan outlining the organization, financing and deployment of firefighters in a consolidated department to deliver fire and emergency medical service to the citizens of south Snohomish County.
The meeting on June 6 will be the first opportunity for the RFA Planning Committee to discuss the recommended proposal. Once the committee agrees on a finance and service level plan, it will be forwarded to elected officials in each jurisdiction to vote on whether they want to continue with the RFA planning process. The RFA planning� process is expected to take another year, and if feasible, would culminate in a public vote to create an RFA.
The RFA Planning Committee meets the first Wednesday of each month at 6 p.m. All meetings are open to the public. The meeting location rotates among participating jurisdictions and is posted on the RFA Planning Committee website: www.rfa-planning.org. Agendas, minutes and planning documents are also available online.

When accountant and attorney Leon LaBrecque told his dad about the estate and wealth planning business he was forming, the conversation wound up changing his business plan.
His dad, a retired machinist, marveled at the sort of help LaBrecque was providing to his clients. "He told me that he could really use some help like that - he just couldn't afford it," LaBrecque says. "It occurred to me that people like my dad needed financial planning a lot more than wealthy people. So I started working on a new business model."
That was more than 20 years ago. Now, LaBrecque's Troy, Mich.-based planning firm, LJPR, brags of more than 1,100 clients and $560 million in assets under management. Specializing in the sort of "working affluent" people you'd meet every day, the fee-only firm accepts clients with as little as $100,000 in liquid assets. The minimum annual fee is $1,150, or 1.15% of assets - but that is negotiable, LaBrecque says. "I give all of our advisors leeway," he says. "They can waive the minimum fee if they feel the client's assets are going to grow at an unusual rate."
The business model LaBrecque settled on works in tiers. At the minimum asset (and fee) level, clients get investment planning advice but not much else, unless they choose to buy another service à la carte. When client assets step up to $250,000, the firm provides additional services, such as retirement planning, benefits review and tax planning advice.
More services - such as will preparation and insurance reviews - are provided once a client's assets exceed $500,000; and at $1 million, the client gets almost everything LJPR offers. While the bulk of the firm's revenues come from a percentage of assets under management, any client can pay for additional services at an hourly rate that ranges from $250 to $350.
LaBrecque says the practice has been growing at a 20% annual pace, which he attributes partly to the firefighters and policemen who make up about one-quarter of his clients. "Firefighters are often sitting around the firehouse talking - and sometimes what they're talking about is us," he says. "They don't make a lot of money, but they are wonderful clients."
Few planners are trying to poach LaBrecque's clients. "I have friends who chase doctors. But I say, 'How many times do you think your doctors are going to be called by other planners? A lot. How many times do you think somebody is calling my cops?' Our retention rate among cops and firefighters is about 99%."
Police officers, in particular, start out skeptical, LaBrecque adds. "When I have a first interview with a cop, he sits and stares at me for the first 20 minutes," he says. "Somewhere after the 20th minute, the arms uncross and he says, 'OK, let's do this.'"
But after gaining a client's trust, LaBrecque says, both he and his planning firm become part of the "brotherhood," which puts them in a relationship where everyone is watching everyone else's back. That's something LaBrecque values and returns in kind. He helps with police and fire fundraisers. And when he finds that a first responder has been lost in the line of duty, he offers to do the surviving spouse's estate and tax planning for free that year.
These instances trigger a number of onetime payments and funds, LaBrecque explains. But at such an emotional moment, trying to cope with the paperwork and the requisite changes to a financial plan can be confounding.
Meanwhile, his clients refer their friends and recommend the planning firm to their pension boards and unions. LaBrecque says it's remarkable how often a client with modest means will end up being the pivotal element in hooking a much bigger fish.
Outside of referrals, LJPR's marketing plan has a lot to do with the firm's 17 employees. He encourages community involvment and pays to help them continue their education, pledging up to $2,300 annually for classes.
Certainly, a good portion of that is spent on the sort of continuing education requirements you'd expect of an 11-planner firm rich in credentials. (LaBrecque is an attorney, CFP, CPA and CFA. His colleagues have so many professional designations - from personal financial specialist to accredited investment fiduciary - that LJPR publishes an addendum to the required disclosure to explain which professionals have which credentials, and what education each requires.)
But LaBrecque also encourages employees to enroll in classes that have nothing to do with financial planning. Take a course in dance, art, language, cooking - anything, he says. "We want our employees to spend 25% of their education budget on something that's not financial," he says. "There's more to people's lives than money."
It's the activities planners do outside of the tight constraints of their workday that allow them to connect with clients and build lasting relationships, he contends. Besides, it makes LJPR's planners happy. And LaBrecque thinks a key to running a successful business is to treat your employees with the same care and attention you'd devote to a client.
"We try to structure their compensation so that [employees] are not in a box. We want them to all be high income and moving in the direction that they want," he says. "We aim to have the same kind of retention with our employees as we have with our clients."
On a day-to-day basis, LaBrecque's clients are low-maintenance, he says. Though the firm attempts to have multiple client touches throughout the year - from holiday cards to newsletters - face-to-face meetings are usually scheduled just once a year.
Those meetings are fairly predictable, he says, because young families have many of the same issues and goals: getting their kids through college, meeting retirement objectives, dealing with small inheritances and with the everyday demands of a working life, from deciding on benefits to buying a home.
"Our advisors work in teams and are well versed in what the normal problems would be," he says. "We have a checklist of the things that we should be talking about and thinking about. It's not cookie-cutter, but it's a little like a recipe book."
Because the police and firefighters LaBrecque works with typically have generous pensions that allow them to retire far younger than the average American - often in their late 40s or early 50s - many want second careers. But they may also need to fund a gap between careers without tapping retirement assets, so LJPR advisors set up a plan for that, too. The firm also creates portfolios that invest client assets in a broad mix of stocks and bonds in both domestic and international markets - mostly through low-cost funds.
"I take a look at some of my 50-year-old cops and I realize that they are going to retire, get another job and keep growing their assets for another 20 years. They are going to see me once a year and they are going to be happy," he says. "That's an ideal client. I love that client."

What a day. Basically the moment I walked in the door, I was bombarded by little cards with various pictures and messages that said things like, "thank you" and "good luck" and "we will miss you" and "you are a great teacher."
I also received this crown. I know you're jealous:
My class is honestly the most lovely bunch ever. As I called the role, they said things like, "please try and keep in touch" or "have a nice trip" or "we will miss you" instead of just "good morning." My special time for the class was in the morning. My gift to them was a copy of Dr. Seuss's "Oh the Places You'll Go."
I simply had to, it's simply the best message I could leave for them. My voice cracked as I read it, reflecting on all the places I've gone in the past 5 months…
They loved the book, but really loved my message:
Thank you so much for welcoming me into your class with open arms, hearts, and minds. You have helped me learn so much about being a teacher – especially the magic that happens when can all be friends.
You each have a special place in my heart, and I will never forget my class of Kiwi children as long as I live. Thank you so much for the memories that I will certainly treasure forever.
Remember to always be excited to learn. Remember to be creative and curious. Remember to love those around you and treat them with respect. Remember to smile. Remember that soon you will grow up to be the leaders of our world, and if you work hard, you can do anything you dream of.
Next, the real fun began…I taught them a thing or two about Vermont! I made a slideshow of Vermont-y pictures: UVM, foliage, maple syrup, sugar-on-snow, Shelburne Farms, Cheddar Cheese, FeelGood, Lake Champlain, apple picking, The Giant Pumpkin Regatta, skiing, Stowe, and apple cider. Oh, and me in Ghia, thrown in there because I couldn't think how to end it 😉 They were fascinated!
They actually spent most of the day writing about what they learned. A lot, apparently! I have all the write-ups and can't wait to read through them when I get a chance. I got a little preview and they are certainly making me smile: "Vermont has lots of trees, but not just ANY trees!"
And I got more than Vermont write-ups! Each child decorated a Takahe bird (their team name, also a native NZ bird) and wrote a message on it for me. I love this because I sometimes refer to my class as my "flock."
On the more serious side, I also did a lot of Maths testing today. It was just a simple interview where I tested them at each stage to see their level. It was actually really interesting to see everything that I learned about "maths strategy stages" through my Uni class in real life! I guess I have been learning a lot, and it's all pretty legit!
During lunch break, I enjoyed a little bit of the leftover chili from the potluck, plus a good piece of bread I snagged from it, too!
After lunch, I led some choral reading (so much better than Round Robin, let me tell YOU!) but the best part was that I got to use the fancy pointer. I seriously need one of those sparkly rainbow wands when I grow up!
The entire afternoon was dedicated as a special "Miss Jenkins Farewell" time. I got several special performances. First up: a play! Based off a Skippyjon Jones story that I read to them a few weeks ago.
Some girls acted it out the story while another girl narrated. Here was my program:
It was adorable! Then, one of my favorite students (wait, teachers don't have favorites!!!) sang me a Foo Fighter's song. As if my heart hadn't already become a puddle on the floor. Then, each child performed their body rhythm pattern they have been working on all week. Some were very precise, others catchy, others creative! Those kids have got the beat!
Then, they sang for me my favorite song in their repertoire: "Just One Earth." And the tears begin!!! But apparently that wasn't enough of a gift 😉 ….
mentor class gave me the most thoughtful present. First, a lovely cushion-case with Pukekos (a Takahe relative) on it. I can't wait to see this pillow on the (hot pink!) couch in my apartment!
Second, a beautiful paua shell necklace and card. The tears continued. Are you getting this image?
Thirdly, a little Takahe shelf decoration. Isn't he cute???!
It was all too much 🙂 I was overwhelmed.
We did stick to some of the Thursday afternoon routine: certificates. Guess who won "Student of the Week?"
But then, the bell rang. The school day was officially over. Shirley asked who wanted to formally say a word of thank-you to me on behalf of the entire class, which is a customary practice in New Zealand. About half the class frantically volunteered, so Shirley let a handful of kids speak. It was so touching. One of the most precious moments of my life. Here, I was given my farewell card. With glitter, no less!
Of course, I couldn't let them go empty-handed, so I let each child choose a funky pencil.
Hugs goodbye, all around.
But the fun doesn't stop there!!! Shirley and I had a date to go to Bluebird Vegetarian Cafe, a cute place I've passed on Dominion Rd each day going to and fro school.
Of course anything with "vegetarian" in the name makes my ears perk up, but I was even more excited to go when a woman I met at yoga told me how much she liked it. Shirley, being the sweetest woman on the planet that she is, insisted that Hannah come, too! When we arrived, we felt completely serene and calm, relaxed and energized despite the crazy we'd just had.
Even though I miss brewed coffee like a Cullen misses blood, I REALLY appreciate that all the good cafes in New Zealand give you a complimentary sweet with your latte. On the sid eof our mini berry coffee cake ;), we got chai lattes (made with homemade blended tea). I didn't even have to ask for soymilk–she asked our milk preference right away.
It was very flavorful and spicy, just the way I like it.
While we waited for Hannah, I was happy to finally express my undying gratitude to Shirley and give her the gifts I picked out for her. It pales in comparison to everything she's done for me, but luckily, I have a way with words.
I cannot thank you enough for being my NZ mentor; I was so lucky to have you and it was simply destiny that we were matched. You taught me so many valuable things about what it means to be a good teacher. You taught me so much about the value of spontaneous learning experiences and how to integrate them smoothly into your day: flexibility. You taught me the importance of a good sense of humor: joy. Most importantly, you taught me so much about how important it is to know your students as individuals: love. Thank you for teaching me that if I can be flexible, joyful, and love each one of my students, then I can do this, and do it well. Thank you for every opportunity, small and great. Thank you for your generosity, compassion, and insights. And please, keep in touch!
Then, my small gifts:
Simply a pretty mug and some dark chocolates. She gushed and gushed over my humble gesture, because that's just the kind of woman she is ❤
Now, onto the food… When Shirley asked for recommendations, the waitress said, "Well, it depends on what you eat. Vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free?" SWOON! I told her I had no restrictions but I preferred vegan. Shirley basically ordered everything that I mentioned sounded good. We all shared a bit of everything:
Good food and good conversation? Shirley and I should have gone every week! It was the perfect way to end the internship.
And as if all THAT wasn't enough, look what Shirley got for us on the way out:
She asked, "do you like chocolate cake?" Well, I couldn't lie to a woman I respect so much!
…did you think that was it?
Her question about those were, "would you eat those?" Ummm, yes! She certainly knows how to ask leading questions 😉
Apparently she hadn't quite done enough for us, because she insisted on driving us home, and pulled right up in front of our door, asking if we were safe :). There is no other way to say it: I love Shirley. I will miss her so much! I had such an amazing experience in her class, and it was truly all because of her.
When I got home, I had these three messages in my inbox:
HA! Sounds like my brother's journey is off to a memorable start. He is in the air somewhere over the Pacific Ocean right now. Please send him positive energy! He lands around 6am, New Zealand time.
Even though I'm about to study my bum off for my Maori Culture final tomorrow until I fall asleep, I am feeling positively incandescent with happiness. I've just had an incredible end to an incredible NZ practicum, and my brother arrives in a matter of hours to kick off our week of traveling.
Yay, life!!! 😀

Minecraft Creator's New Game To Be 'Elite' Type Space Game
Elite was massive hot back in the eighties with the PC crowd. Offering a world shaped by the gamer, with trading, space battles and exploration, it has arguably never been bettered. Now it seems like the creator of Minecraft wants to take Elites crown and develop the space game of this generation.
Markus 'Notch' Persson has revealed that his next big release will be tentatively titled 0x10c, and will feature many of the same elements that made Elite a success. Apparently engineering, space battles and a full economy will all play a large role in the game, but it will also have a heavy multiplayer element and will be shaped by the fans to a large degree, something to be expected by the designer of Minecraft.
He stated that the single player section of the game would not have any recurring fees, but the persistent online multiplayer may well have a monthly charge associated with it. No release date as yet, but 0x10c is said to be extremely early in development.
Backstory and Setting
In a parallel universe where the space race never ended, space travel was gaining popularity amongst corporations and rich individuals.
In 1988, a brand new deep sleep cell was released, compatible with all popular 16 bit computers. Unfortunately, it used big endian, whereas the DCPU-16 specifications called for little endian. This led to a severe bug in the included drivers, causing a requested sleep of 0x0000 0000 0000 0001 years to last for 0x0001 0000 0000 0000 years.
It's now the year 281 474 976 712 644 AD, and the first lost people are starting to wake up to a universe on the brink of extinction, with all remote galaxies forever lost to red shift, star formation long since ended, and massive black holes dominating the galaxy.
The Generator and the Computer
Each ship has a generator capable of producing a fixed wattage, and everything you connect to it drains wattage. A cloaking field, for example, might require almost all the power from the generator, forcing you to turn off all computers and dim all lights in order to successfully cloak.
The computer in the game is a fully functioning emulated 16 bit CPU that can be used to control your entire ship, or just to play games on while waiting for a large mining operation to finish.
Full specifications of the CPU will be released shortly, so the more programatically advanced of you can get a head start.

Through the dense and pathless coniferous forest run several brooks flowing from the two lakes towards the coast. The weather is rainy in summer and snowy in winter. The forest is home to the halflings, centered around the town of Darkenstone. Somewhere deep within the woodland the caves of the goblin-spider queen are hidden, where the goblin-spiders enslave unlucky travelers and their queen, Tittania, spins a vast web over a bottomless pit.
Notes: Yes, I realized too late that a spider queen sitting over a bottomless pit has been done to death. But at least Tittania is neither demon nor godess, just a big fat spider. Think Shelob with more malice and spells. Also, the halflings have finally found their homeland. Unfortunately, as you will read later, it is under attack by the Deep Ones from a distant star.

OAHU, Hawaii - The Santa Clara University women's golf team continued its fall season today with participation in the Kent Youel Invitational, hosted by the University of Hawaii at the Kapolei Golf Course in Oahu. Junior Samantha Trask is leading the Broncos with her position of 22nd heading into Wednesday's final round.
Santa Clara carded rounds of 312 and 313 for a 625 to place 12th. Head coach Polly Schulze said after the rounds that her team is improving by a couple of shots each time they take a course and she is looking to move up a few spots after tomorrow's performance. Third-ranked UCLA leads the 15-team field with a 568, and has a 16-stroke lead over No. 9 Arizona State. Oregon, Oklahoma and UC Irvine round out the top five.
Trask carded a five-over-par 73-77--150 to lead the Broncos. Courtney Dimpel-Composti is next, just one stroke back. Candice Palmer posted a 163, with teammates Jenny Nelson and Corey Utsurogi adding a 164 and 166, respectively
UCLA's Charlotte Mayorkas is leading the individual competition with a five-under 139.
The Broncos will conclude action at the Invitational with the third and final round Wednesday morning. Santa Clara will follow with one more tournament during fall play, with participation at the Cal Poly Invitational in San Luis Obispo, Calif., Nov. 8-9.

The Terrorist has various very interesting literary techniques at play within its pages.
Written in the third person, the book has a narrator, although unknown and not specified, who knows more than the reader.
However, from a certain point in the novel and onwards, the reader knows much more than the characters. The narrative order of the novel is basically chronological. There are times however, that although the narrative is in the present, the reader suddenly knows more about certain elements of the plot than the characters know. Such in stances include the second chapter when Billy has already been killed, and his sister is not yet aware of what has happened; she only finds out at the end of the chapter when she finally arrives at the Underground station where the bomb has exploded. Another instance occurs in the fourth chapter, when the reader has...

Watch how to make this recipe.
Holding 1 spear at each end snap off the tough stem of asparagus. Use this spear as a guide line to trim the bundle with a sharp knife. Simmer asparagus in salted boiling water 3 minutes. Drain and run under cold water. Cut asparagus to fit the size of the toasts.
Toast 8 thick slices of farmhouse style bread under a preheated broiler 6 inches from heat. Combine softened butter and mustard. Spread the toasted bread with mustard butter. Cut sliced ham into smaller pieces to process. Grind the ham in your food processor. Spread the toast with ground ham. Arrange steamed asparagus spears on top of the layer of ham. Top each toast with a few grinds of black pepper and a mound of fontina cheese. Return toasts to hot oven under broiler and cook toasts until cheese melts and lightly browns at edges. Arrange ham and asparagus toast on a platter and serve.

Regardless of political inclinations, members of the College community will always remember this election as a historic moment in American history. For the first time, a black man will be President of the United States.
This was also a historic occasion for some on a more personal level. For many of us at the College, this was our first chance to participate in a presidential election. We commend the College and all of its students for jumping at the opportunity.
First-time voters spoke, and they spoke loudly – the election was wrapped up well before midnight struck in a landslide victory for Sen. Barack Obama. Both candidates spoke of the need for change throughout their long campaigns, and it increasingly seems that's exactly what we'll need in the next four years.
Our country faces two wars, impending crises in health care and Social Security and we are in the middle of a financial crisis, the full effects of which are surely still to come.
If anyone has been on Facebook in the past week, it's clear how involved young people have been in this election. News feeds were inundated with students announcing that they voted, for whom they voted and imploring others to vote.
Not only was this a demonstration of the fervor of college-age voters, but it showed the increased importance of the Internet. Our generation was the first to fully embrace the Internet as an emerging medium; we grew up with it.
And as we grew into adults, we learned to communicate our views and opinions with the increasingly sophisticated tools of the Internet, which in turn allowed us unprecedented access to each of the candidates and their campaigns.
This access no doubt led many of us to become personally invested in the politics of our country for the first time.
For young voters, it's difficult to grasp the complexities of our failing economy, or divine the best strategy for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Yet, many of this election's issues hold particular relevance for College students and youths in general.
We may not grasp the intricacies of the credit meltdown, but we know it could affect our ability to obtain student loans and sooner than we think, start our careers. And while many of us are still covered by our parents' or the College's health plans, the coming changes in health care are important to anyone looking to leave home in the next few years.
This is the first election that has directly influenced and affected our generation. No longer can we hide behind our parents, content to let them make the decisions and pay attention to the issues for us.
In electing Obama, in coming out in droves to vote, our generation has taken its first steps in deciding what kind of America we'll inherit when we leave the College. There is no doubt we'll feel the weight of this decision immediately.

May 24th, 2017: Favorite Minor Characters
Minor characters are less than a sidekick or a side character (but not in our hearts!)
I've been overthinking this challenge topic for a couple of days now because the difference between a side-character and a minor character is often blurred. They told us not to overthink this challenge (so, of course I did!) but I think I've finally settled on my list .
The Bone Carver – A Court of Thorns and Roses Series (ACOTAR)
We might this creepy character in the second installment of the ACOTAR series. I just loved the feel that you weren't quite sure what exactly he was and what exactly he was capable of, when get your first look at this guy. He appears to you as your greatest fear, so anyone looking upon him is seeing something entirely different. Certainly had me curious about what he actually looks like in his true form. The idea of having to bring a bone for him for him to entertain talking with you for awhile was too perfect. I love when darker characters like this one are introduced. He's far from one-dimensional and he's neither good nor bad. I can't go into a lot of detail about this character without giving away some major spoilers for ACOWAR.
The Caterpillar – Alice's Adventure's in Wonderland
I knew I had to add something from one of my all-time favorite stories. I love this story so much that I've collected many editions of the book and lots of merchandise as well. It's hard deciding on a character from this story because they are all pretty iconic and almost feel like side-characters. However, the majority of characters hold very small parts in the story – The Caterpillar for one is very recognizable but he wasn't necessarily that important in the book, very unimportant infact – as Alice might say! I love how condescending The Caterpillar is, normally that would be a trait to turn you off of a character but it's just part of The Caterpillar's charm. I mean, what more is there to say, how can anyone not love a hookah-smoking caterpillar?
The Wheelers – Ozma of Oz
These things haunted my childhood. Anyone remember the film Return to Oz? Those things are scary as all hell *shudder* Many years later I started reading The Wizard of Oz series and came across The Wheelers in Ozma of Oz for the film time. Were they as scary as the film made them out to be? Probably not, but they were still very unsettling. There is just something about these weird characters that is enough to give me nightmares for a year. They are still great fun to read about and have stuck with me for many years.
Luna – Harry Potter Series
Who doesn't love Luna? I'm honestly obsessed with this eccentric, loveable and a little insane character. I know it could be argued that she is more of a side-character than a minor character but she really doesn't play much of a part till later in the series so I'm going to count her for this. I don't know that I've ever read about a character who is just so lovely, good and innocent and not wanted to punch them. For some reason, J.K. Rowling was able to pull off a very "good" character and not have her be annoying or a know-it-all. Luna is the kind of friend that most of us would kill to have around. She might not have the biggest part in the series, compared to a lot of other characters but she really made her mark despite it. One of my favorite Harry Potter characters and that says a lot.
Lying Cat – Saga
I think I need to throw in a graphic novel character here because I adore Lying Cat. The series Saga is a crazy, science-fiction read that really leaves an impression on the reader – whether good or bad. Lying Cat is the pet of free-lance bounty hunter, The Will. Lying Cat helps humanize the very rough and dangerous bounty-hunter, even though the cat might be scarier than The Will himself. Lying Cat's main talent lies with knowing if the person is lying or telling the truth. That can come in handy when interrogating a hostage or trying to get some useful information when hunting down your latest target! I love Lying Cat so much because he kicks add, he takes no BS and because the relationship between him and his owner is very endearing – despite who they are.

(KMOV.com) – A male school staffer was reportedly attacked at Innovative Concept Academy Wednesday by a 15-year-old student.
According to police documents, an officer responded to the school after being called about a fight on campus.
Upon arriving at the school in the 1900 block of Cass, the officer was met by students who said the employee and a student were in a fight in a third-floor classroom.
The officer discovered the 42-year-old man on the floor bleeding from the head. The student reportedly involved had already fled the scene.
The teacher was transported to a hospital for treatment.
According to school officials, the employee was overseeing students on an in school suspension. Innovative Concept Academy is seen as a last chance school for students who are at risk to go to jouvenile court.
An assault on a teacher is considered a type one offense, which means the student faces a ten-day suspension and is not allowed back into the school until there is a hearing involving the parents.
A district insider tells News 4 the student involved is facing more serious charges.
The suspect remains at large, and the investigation is ongoing.

FOOD TREASURE: WILLIAM'S CORNER @ KELANA JAYA.Monday, April 04, 2016
Assalamualaikum and hi lovelies.
As told earlier, I am a food enthusiast who always love to eat for sure, and try something dissimilar from what I have been consuming throughout my daily life. It is no wonder if someone notices I have gotten chubbier now. IT IS REALITY! Who would have thought to refuse good food when they are right in front of your eyes? I never was nor never will be. As for me, food is the sustenance gifted from Allah that you should really "taste", properly appreciate each bite and enjoy the way your food smells, which in turn gets you heedfully excited to eat it.
Oh yeah... Talking about food, the day out is incomplete without good food. After attending Sangkaya's Prize Giving Event at Sunway Pyramid in October last year, which my sister was one of the winners for the photo Category (read here for more) and took a stroll in the mall, we directly headed to our dinner place after knowing everyone's tummy started to growl and mine was no an exception. Being told about our way to William's Corner, one of the most-mentioned restaurants situated in Kelana Jaya, I was one of the happiest persons among the rest for this dinner treat as I knew there would be so many favourably delicious food to choose from and to enjoy with.
Unlike other restaurants in Malaysia, this branch in Kelana Jaya has no menu cover for the visitors to look and choose their orders. However, you do not have to worry much as you are also advisable to go inside of the restaurant to see the menu board. Not enough that, waiters are all so helpful that they would give you a few suggestions on food. For those who are familiar or maybe who have been to this place, you guys surely know how the service works.
Not only famously known by its yummylicious western food, you could also request anything that comes into your mind and they would make it real for you. It serves large portions of everything; from drinks to burgers, pasta to grilled dishes and many more. It sounds enticing, is not it? As this has been a few visits to William's Corner, (my very first & most recent one were at Setapak), I have expected the portion would be so "large" that it could be shared with 2-3 persons.
Not only famously known by its yummylicious western food, you could also request anything that comes into your mind and they would make it real for you. It serves large portions of everything; from drinks to burgers, pasta to grilled dishes and many more. It sounds enticing, is not it? As this has been a few visits to William's Corner, (my very first & most recent one were at Setapak), I have expected the portion would be so "large" that it could be shared with 2-3 persons.
First and foremost, for the beverages, we ordered these glasses of drinks. The left one was their signature drink, namely Soda Herb. It consisted of mint leaves, lemongrass, lemon, sour plum, lychee with cold carbonated soda water. The taste was uniquely different, but I did not admire this much. Next to it was Pineapple Asam Boi Juice with Rambutan, a pure combination of sweet and sour sensation. Both were priced at RM 8/each which I thought they were so reasonable and could be shared by 2. Other drinks were cold mineral water and milk tea, my Abah's favourite since forever.
My sister, Fifi has been craving for this Seafood Arrabbiata ever since her last visit to William's Corner last time. Everyone in the family knows that she has craving like no other! Hahaha. It was overall an exciting portion consisting of spaghetti noodles of course, some crab pieces, mussles, prawns and octopus inside. For the quantity we were served, it was worth to be charged at RM 50++.
Catch a glimpse of the Lamb Chop I ordered the last day. RM 30 and you could not get enough of this. It came with the smoky, grilled lamb meat with quintessential flavours, mashed potato, coleslaw and green sauce with a light peppermint taste. The lamb meat was juicy, but some of them were so strong that I had to chew them for minutes in my mouth.
My Abah and little sister decided to have a taste for its Roasted Chicken Chop as the dish itself was suggested by one of the waiters here. As seen in the picture, there was a whole roasted chicken smothered with a full-flavoured sauce, mashed potato and fresh broccoli which was cut into spears for a western hint. Do you think it was worth at RM 25++?
Gosh... She is a big eater. One fact that you should know is that the food would never be wasted if Abby does her "job".
While being asked by the owner of William's Corner, Uncle William regarding the food, he then ordered his waiter to give us this dessert for free! WOOHOOO!!!!! It had similar taste like durian crepe, sweet and deliciously creamy. I tasted it a little bit only, Abby got all this to fill into her stomach!
Dessert corner which is situated in the entrance of inside part of the restaurant. Some mouth watering desserts that were available for bites; Panna Cotta, Chocolate Torte, Gelato, etc. Sweet tooth aficionados could not miss on this part if they feel like tempting their taste buds!
Spotted a man with black-yellow stripes tee-shirt with his song performance during our dining time. At least, we felt entertained while waiting for our food to come.
The situation when we first entered the restaurant. It only provides the outdoor seatings as the indoor is fully set by the kitchen. As it was the weekend's night, I could see a lot of families, couples, groups of men and even individuals who came for eating.
It is an open-air restaurant, everyone could leisurely come in order to satisfy themselves with some Uncle William's brilliant creations.The place definitely brings you so much pleasure in eating that makes you would assuredly like to give it a visit for the second time.
If you wish to visit, here are the William's Corner branches for you to locate:

The craziest and baddest official student section and student ticketing program for intercollegiate athletic events BOTH sides of the mississippi. The zona zoo at the University of Arizona (U of A) has established itself as a monstrous force on campus and has forever changed school spirit at the University of Arizona. Compared to similar universities with established spirit programs, Zona Zoo has not only surpassed them in spirit, but in attendance too. Zona Zoo in its comparatively short lifespan has grown to be the largest student section in the entire Pac-10 Conference, beating out USC's Trojan Pride (est. 1912) and UC Berkeley's Rally Committee (est. 1901).
J: Hey did you buy your zona zoo pass?
RL: Hell yeah! I'm going to all home games this semester. Bear Down!
