In a meeting of teams stuck in four-game skids, No. 17 Ohio State had just enough to get by in the closing moments.
Joseph Bertrand scored 19 points, Jon Ekey had 11 and Nnanna Egwu added 10 but Illinois sank to its fifth straight loss with a 62-55 setback at Ohio State on Thursday night.
"We were just a play or two away, but give them credit for making those plays," Fighting Illini coach John Groce said.
Illinois (13-7, 2-5 Big Ten) pulled to 41-40 on 3s by Ekey and Bertrand and then tied it at 46 on Tracy Abrams' slash through the lane. He missed the cap on a possible three-point play, however, and at the other end Shannon Scott fed LaQuinton Ross, who led the Buckeyes with 18 points, for a 3 from the left wing with 5:44 remaining.
The Buckeyes (16-4, 3-4), who had also lost their last four games, would never trail again.
The teams traded missed chances until Lenzelle Smith Jr., who had 16 points for Ohio State, stepped in front of a bad pass by Abrams and fed Scott for a left-handed layup with 3:50 remaining for a 51-46 advantage.
With the Buckeyes hanging on at 52-50, Ross drove the lane against the Illinois zone and was fouled, banking in a shot and adding the accompanying free throw with 2:07 left.
The Illini then turned it over on an offensive foul by Rice before Smith poured in a 3 from in front of the Ohio State bench for a 58-50 lead with 75 seconds remaining.
Illinois never threatened again.
"That's how a lot of our games have been so far," Bertrand said. "We really haven't had a bad game since (a 95-70 loss at No. 4 Wisconsin on Jan. 8). Ever since then they've been pretty close and it's been a couple of plays at the end."
The Illini led 25-24 at the half but Groce thought they could have gotten even more out of the opening 20 minutes.
"I was really proud of our guys' defensive effort. Unfortunately, we just weren't able to capitalize on it as much as we would have liked," Groce said. "If you would have told me in the first half, we were going to hold them to 29 percent shooting and 30 percent from 3 and turn them over nine times, I'd say we'd be in business."
The Illini led by four points early in the second half. Their final advantage was a 34-31 upper hand at the 14:56 mark after a baseline jumper by Kendrick Nunn.
But then the Buckeyes went on a 9-0 run. Even though Illinois tied it later, the Illini could never regain the lead.
They haven't won since Jan. 4 and play three of their next four games against ranked opponents.
Rayvonte Rice, averaging 17.4 points a game, was 0 for 8 from the field and went scoreless.
"I thought (Aaron) Craft and Scott were great defensively," said Groce, a former Ohio State assistant coach. "If you'd told me before the game that Rice and Abrams were going to go 2 for 16 from the field I probably wouldn't have liked my chances. But we were right there, in large part because Bertrand and Egwu and Ekey really did some nice things offensively."
The Illini have lost their last six Big Ten road games and fell to 1-4 against ranked teams this season.
There were positives. They outrebounded the Buckeyes — once 15-0 and No. 3 before falling on hard times — 32-31 and held their own in most other statistical categories.
"Everyone was focused. We did a better job on the defensive end," Egwu said. "We really got hammered on the glass by Purdue and Michigan State so our mindset was to take care of the backboard. We knew that if we could do that, we could get the ball and we had a chance to win. But we turned the ball over too much at the end.
"That was the reason we kind of gave the game away," he added.

Gallatin County Road Department: Limit Traffic To Essential Travel Only
The road department advises that some roads in the county are hazardous due to drifted snow. The road department is working to clear as much as they can but there are some roads that may not get cleared today.
Most all north south running roads in the valley are drifted with drifting up to 4 feet in many places. Some of the roads that are drifted include Cottonwood, Gooch Hill, Love Lane and Jackson Cr. The County Road Department has every plow and vehicle out which totals 12 plow trucks and 6 larger vehicles. Multiple vehicles are being found stuck or abandoned in the roadways. Abandoned or stuck vehicles are preventing the plows from opening up the roadways. Local tow companies are coordinating with the County Road Department and Sheriff's Office to remove cars and open roads.
At this time the County is requesting that the public limit traffic to essential travel only. This will allow workers to attempt to clear the roadways without being delayed by stuck cars. Local officials report that it has been about 18 years since we have experienced conditions like this.
State highways are maintained by the State Department of Transportation and are not included in this report.

Manufacturer's part number :
Description :
Honeywell Zephyr™ Analogue Airflow Sensors: HAF Series-High Accuracy, provide an analogue interface for reading airflow over the specified full scale flow span and temperature range. Their thermally isolated heater and temperature sensing elements help these sensors provide a fast response to air or gas flow. Zephyr™ sensors are designed to measure mass flow of air and other non-corrosive gases. They are available in standard flow ranges and are fully calibrated and temperature compensated with an on-board Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC). The HAF Series is compensated over the temperature range of 0°C to 50°C [32°F to 122°F] and operates across a temperature range of -20°C to 70°C [-4°F to 158°F]. The state-of-the-art ASIC-based compensation provides digital (I²C) outputs with a response time of 1 ms. These sensors operate on the heat transfer principle to measure mass airflow. They consist of a microbridge Microelectronic and Microelectromechanical System (MEMS) with temperature-sensitive resistors deposited with thin films of platinum and silicon nitride. The MEMS sensing die is located in a precise and calculated airflow channel to provide repeatable flow response. Zephyr™ sensors provide customers with enhanced reliability, digital accuracy, repeatable measurements and the ability to customize sensor options to meet many specific application needs. The combination of rugged housings with a stable substrate makes these products extremely robust. They are designed and manufactured according to ISO 9001 standards.

Presidential Advisory Council on HIV/AIDS Conference Call: Updates on ADAP from HRSA/HAB
By Miguel Gomez
June 30, 2010
This article was cross-posted from the AIDS.gov blog. Miguel Gomez is AIDS.gov Director.
On Tuesday, June 29, the Presidential Advisory Council on HIV/AIDS (PACHA) held a conference call for PACHA members and the public. During the call, Dr. Deborah Parham-Hopson, Associate Administrator for HIV/AIDS, Health Resources and Services Administration at HHS, provided an update on the waiting lists for the AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP), a government program providing medications for people with HIV.
The following are Dr. Parham-Hopson remarks from yesterday's call:
We in HAB, HRSA and the Department are very concerned that people living with HIV have access to care and treatment. As of today, eleven States have a total of 1,924 people on waiting lists for access to their Ryan White AIDS Drug Assistance Programs. This represents an increase of 269 people in the last week and an increase 730 people during the month of June. I have not seen such rapid increased demand for ADAP during my entire 8 year tenure as Bureau Director.
Many factors have contributed to the actual and projected ADAP shortfall within States. These factors include but are not limited to:
HRSA is working closely with the States to assure that those on the waiting list have access to HIV related medication through pharmaceutical manufacturers' patient assistance programs. On April 5, we awarded a total of $1.14 billion in Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Part B funds to all States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, the Virgin Islands, and Pacific Island Territories. Out of this amount, $800 million (70 percent) was directed to the ADAP Program.
Additionally, $41.7 million in Part B ADAP Supplemental Grants were awarded on April 12 to the 25 eligible States, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. HHS expects to award approximately $17.5 million in new Part B Supplemental Grant funds by August 1. States may use these additional funds to support their ADAP Programs. States may also allocate a portion of their Part B base funding for ADAP services. HRSA/HAB is in weekly contact with the ADAP directors in States that have ADAP waiting lists and those states that have other cost containment measures in place.
We provide technical assistance to enable these State programs to:
The Department of Health and Human Services does recognize the need to continue to improve access to critical HIV/AIDS prescription drugs.
During the call, the PACHA members also passed a resolution (PDF, 13 KB) to address access to AIDS drugs, referencing the need for additional funding for the AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP), and the need to accelerate expanded access to Medicaid coverage for people with HIV.

Good Neighbors
A Novel
Ryan David Jahn
Penguin: 280 pp., $15 paper
How fair is it to hold a novel to actual events? It's a question I kept asking as I read Ryan David Jahn's first book, "Good Neighbors" (published in England as "Acts of Violence" in 2009), based on the notorious murder of Kitty Genovese, the Queens, N.Y., bar manager stabbed to death early on the morning of March 13, 1964, outside her Kew Gardens building. Although the attack continued, with a break, for 30 minutes, only one of the people who witnessed it from their apartments — 38 of them, according to an iconic New York Times story that ran two weeks after the killing — did anything to help.
Over the years, the Genovese murder has become a touchstone, first as a symbol of urban apathy and later as an urban myth. Researchers have debunked the 38 witnesses account, suggesting that, of those who actually saw anything, perhaps as few as two had any real sense of what was going on. It was 3:15 a.m. on a cold night; people were sleeping, and windows were closed. There is even evidence that police were called during the attack, but the archaic reporting structures of the NYPD — there was no 911 in 1964 and callers had to give substantial information about themselves — hampered the response.
None of this factors into the plot of "Good Neighbors," nor does it have to, since Jahn's version is crime story as morality play. All the same, it can't help but underlie our reaction to the novel, if only because of the book's relationship to the case. The basic set-up is identical: On March 13, 1964, a 28-year-old bar manager, here named Katrina Marino, drives home through the early morning streets of Kew Gardens, parks where Genovese parked and comes upon her assailant almost instantly. The killer disappears in the middle of the attack, then returns to finish the job. There is a sexual assault. Authorities do finally arrive, only to have the victim die in the ambulance. For Jahn, however, this is less text than subtext — or, more accurately, context — a template against which his larger story can unfold.
That larger story has everything to do with the witnesses who hear Katrina's cries and do not act. To highlight this, Jahn structures the book like a spinning top, one character leading to the next. After opening with the attack, he moves to a young man named Patrick, who has just awakened to care for his ailing mother, and then to the woman Patrick sees through her window across the courtyard as she weeps in a negligee. The idea is to evoke a kaleidoscopic sense of the apartment complex, to establish each of its residents as both individuals and part of a larger web. That's an interesting approach, but it falls apart beneath the weight of its expectations, since each life comes invested with a crisis, a bit of narrative urgency, that serves to undermine the credibility of the novel as a whole.
For "Good Neighbors" to succeed, we must believe that on the same late night in the same apartment complex, nearly everyone is wrestling with issues of life and death. For Patrick, these include not just his mother's health but his draft status, while others must face the breakdown of their marriages, or confront suicide, sexual identity, the fallout of wife swapping or the aftermath of childhood abuse. There are not one but two automobile accidents, a corrupt cop, an (unrelated) attempted murder and an ambulance attendant with an ax to grind. All this on a random night in Queens as a young woman is being murdered.
Because of their concerns, these characters are distracted. Or, at least, that's the implication. "She's just sitting there," one character says after the first attack, as Katrina, wounded, gathers her strength in the complex courtyard. "She might be hurt. I think I see blood. Maybe we should call the police." Another replies: "I'm sure someone already has. We shouldn't tie up the lines." This goes on for two hours, as the attacker returns home and gets into bed with his wife, before deciding he hasn't had enough.
Here, we find the most troublesome aspect of "Good Neighbors": that it defies narrative logic. It's strange enough that the attack on Genovese stretched over half an hour, with the killer, Winston Moseley, retreating to his car after someone yelled from a window, "Let that girl alone!" Yet Moseley was just waiting out the witnesses, waiting for quiet to fall again. In Jahn's telling, there is no quiet, just a nightscape as curiously active as the day. And in the midst of it, he asks us to believe, for two full hours in an apartment complex, an assault and murder takes place, with people awake and aware, watching, disengaged, until they see a courtyard full of blood.
How much more powerful would this novel be if all these witnesses had nothing going on except the moral darkness of apathy? How much more powerful if they didn't care or didn't want to get caught up in it, if it were a matter of the bleakness of their souls? That's what made the Genovese case so powerful in the first place, and it's what continues to draw us to it even now.

EPA Region 7 Completes 10,000th Residential Yard Cleanup of Lead-Contaminated Soils at Omaha Lead Site in Omaha, Neb.
Release Date: 12/15/2011
Contact Information: Chris Whitley, (office) 913-551-7394, (Blackberry) 816-518-2794, email@example.com
Environmental News
(Kansas City, Kan., Dec. 15, 2011) - Representatives of EPA Region 7, the State of Nebraska, the City of Omaha, Douglas County, Neb., and local residents gathered today in Omaha to celebrate EPA's completion of its 10,000th cleanup of toxic lead from residential yard soils in the city, a milestone in the Agency's continuing work at the Omaha Lead Superfund Site.
Under the authority of the Superfund program, EPA has been working in Omaha since 1999 to identify and remove lead from residential properties, as well as public parks, playgrounds, and child care facilities. To date, the Agency has sampled more than 39,000 properties in Omaha, and – as of October 23, 2011 – completed the cleanup of its 10,000th residential yard.
Approximately 4,100 properties with elevated levels of lead in soils remain to be cleaned up to complete EPA's work at the nation's largest residential lead remediation site. Aided by favorable weather, long outdoor construction seasons and a continued record-setting work pace for soil remediation, EPA and its contractors anticipate that the job could be completed by 2015.
"EPA's successful work in Omaha has kept families healthier, secured property values in the city's heart, and provided valuable job training," EPA Regional Administrator Karl Brooks said. "This agency has worked productively with a range of local partners for over a decade to get the lead out of Omaha, and we're staying on task until we've finished our job."
Brooks today joined Nebraska State Sen. Brenda J. Council, Omaha Mayor Jim Suttle, Douglas County Health Director Dr. Adi Pour, other state and local officials, and several property owners at a news conference at the Omaha-Douglas Civic Center to mark the 10,000-yard milestone.
The EPA Regional Administrator noted that the lead cleanup's main objective, to protect current and future generations of Omaha's children from health hazards associated with lead poisoning, has already proven to be a success. The percentage of children in eastern Omaha tested with elevated blood lead levels has been reduced from nearly 33 percent prior to 1998, to less than two percent today.
The cleanup is also paying significant economic benefits, Brooks said. To date, EPA's total investments of $247.9 million at the Omaha Lead Site have contributed to community revitalization and redevelopment, improvement of property values, local employment and economic growth.
EPA contracts have provided more than $61 million in spending so far on local materials and local labor, adding about 300 high-paying ($23 to $30 per hour) seasonal jobs to the local economy for each of the past four years. EPA has also awarded $500,000 to a cooperative agreement with the Omaha Metropolitan Community College to provide job training and certifications to local workers, helping to build a skilled labor force to assist in the cleanup, and for future employment beyond the site.
EPA's related investments in Omaha's public health education and protection include cooperative agreements of $9.7 million to the City of Omaha for paint stabilization and database development, $3.9 million to the Douglas County Health Department for interior home assessments, $205,000 to the Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality (NDEQ) to support its work at the Omaha Lead Site, and a $50,000 technical assistance grant to the Lead Safe Omaha Coalition.
Today, Regional Administrator Brooks thanked those departments, agencies and groups, along with numerous neighborhood organizations – and the people of Omaha – for working cooperatively with EPA on the continuing cleanup.
EPA's Omaha mission dates back to 1998, when the Omaha City Council solicited the Agency's assistance in addressing problems with lead contamination in area soils, prompted by cleanup activities at the former ASARCO lead smelter along the west bank of the Missouri River.
From the early 1870s until it closed in 1997, the ASARCO plant emitted lead and other heavy metals into the atmosphere from smoke stacks and fugitive emissions. Those pollutants were carried by wind and deposited on the ground across eastern Omaha for more than a century. Over time, soils around many residences have also been contaminated with lead from the flaking and deterioration of lead-based exterior paints.
Lead in surface soils poses a serious health risk to children six years of age and younger, and to pregnant women. Lead poisoning can result in learning and behavioral problems, hearing problems, diminished IQ, and kidney damage. EPA also classifies lead as a possible cancer-causing agent.
Parents are urged to have children six years of age and younger tested for lead each year. Testing is available through most local family physicians, and from the Douglas County Health Department.

Caterpillar to lay off hundreds in South Milwaukee
A representative from the United Steelworkers Local 1343 told WISN 12 News that Caterpillar expects to lay off 250 to 300 workers at the South Milwaukee facility by June.
The company called a meeting Thursday morning and talked to the union, saying it planned to lay off 40 percent of its workforce in South Milwaukee. There are about 800 union workers there.
"Yeah, it's pretty tense. I mean, it's really tense," Caterpillar worker Justin Lau said.
"We feel they are using the threat of a layoff today as another way of trying to intimidate them. They're saying it's because sales are slow. Well, the question I guess I got for them, is if really the sales are slow, why are they spending money at MATC to train scabs, to train replacement workers if you're really that slow?" union spokesman Russ Winklbauer said.
A few months ago Caterpillar brought in MATC students to job shadow the union workers in South Milwaukee.
The union said it never threatened to strike although contract negotiations are set to begin next week. Their contract will expire at the end of April.
"I don't think it's good for anybody. But some folks who've been around longer are saying it's bad news, but they'll be OK because of seniority. Others are more worried," Caterpillar engineer Andy Barber said.
Caterpillar spokesman Rusty Dann released a statement to WISN 12 News saying, "Various Caterpillar facilities and business units are taking action to bring our production in line with demand, including our operations in South Milwaukee. This includes some short-term temporary layoffs and other actions. These actions vary from location to location and impact both production and support and management employees."
Lau said morale started going downhill in the summer of 2011 when Bucyrus sold to Caterpillar. Now, he is concerned about keeping his job that pays more than $30 an hour, and so is his wife, Jill.
"We bought a home in South Milwaukee expecting that this was going to be our future. It's just really unfortunate that all of these employees would be losing their jobs," Jill Lau said.
Democratic state Sen. Chris Larson issued a statement late Thursday afternoon on the layoffs: "Today's news is devastating for Wisconsin's middle-class families. My heart goes out to all those families, small businesses and neighborhoods affected and I pledge my unwavering support for all those touched by this announcement."

John Bapst, Bangor, ca. 1860Item 35333 info
John Bapst Memorial High School
The son of prosperous farmers, John Bapst was born on December 7, 1815, at La Roche, a village of the canton of Fribourg, Switzerland.
A pious and studious young man, by the age of 12 he was attending St. Michael's College in Fribourg. He later enrolled in the Sons of St. Ignatius, entering the Society of Jesus at 19.
On December 31, 1846, Father John Bapst, S.J was ordained into the priesthood. He completed his third year of probation at Notre Dame D'Ay in France, and in May 1848, upon the expulsion of the Jesuits from Switzerland, he was sent to America.
Father Bapst's first assignment in America included the Indian Mission of Old Town, where he lived from 1848-1851.
He arrived there as a stranger, ignorant of the native language and traditions. Ten of his predecessors had been murdered, and for 20 years the mission had been without the services of a Catholic priest.
His immediate predecessor, Father Raslo, also of the Society of Jesus, had been murdered 20 years before at the foot of a cross that he had erected on the mission grounds.
When Father Bapst arrived on Indian Island, he was given a warm welcome, as the inhabitants were eager to have a priest in their midst once again. After three months of study, Father Bapst reportedly was able to preach to the Indians in their own tongue.

During his three years at Old Town, he served the Indians and Catholic families in mission stations as far west as Waterville and Skowhegan.
During a cholera epidemic in which many of his parishioners died, he managed to give last rites to all but one victim.
In some huts, he reportedly found as many as 15 stricken people lying in heaps upon the floor, even dead bodies piled among the living.
After leaving the Indian Island mission, Father Bapst and two assistants served the spiritual needs of 9,000 Catholics scattered over an area of 200 square miles, a region from Eastport to Rockland.
In January 1853, Father Bapst established a residence in Ellsworth. He soon built a larger church for the growing population and quickly became known for his kindly disposition, his charity, and his scholarly ways.
Father Bapst's religious ardor as well as his plan to build a Catholic school in Ellsworth resulted in the attack by members of the Know-Nothing Party.
St. John's Church, Bangor, ca. 1930Item 35485 info
John Bapst Memorial High School
The Know-Nothing or American Party was active throughout the country in the 1840s and 1850s, opposing immigrants and Catholics, who, the party believed, were loyal to the Pope, not the U.S.
In a 1941 speech, Brother Samuel, C.F.X., noted that, "In the dead of night the bigots assembled, marched to the humble schoolhouse, planted a keg of dynamite under the building and blasted it into the sky."
The next morning, Father Bapst made available the gallery of his new Church for classroom purposes, further angering the Know-Nothings.
Amory Otis, a Protestant, stopped them from burning the church that night. The mob returned to the church later and broke all the windows in the rectory and the church.
On October 14, 1854, Father Bapst was abducted from the home of his host in Ellsworth. The abductors took Father Bapst into the forest and bound him to a tree. Their initial intent to burn him at the stake was thwarted by damp weather; their matches would not light. Instead, they stripped, tarred, and feathered him and then stole his wallet and silver watch.
When rescued, Father Bapst was taken to Bangor to recover.
He became the pastor of St. Michael's Church and later led the successful construction efforts to build St. John's Church on York Street, one of the five churches he eventually helped establish in Maine.

The Know-Nothings continued their assault against Bapst and the Catholics, threatening to burn the church there. Penobscot Indians and parishioners held them off.
Father Bapst became determined that local Catholics needed a larger building to show that the Catholics could not be scared away. The larger church also was necessary because of the growth of the Catholic population in Bangor and the surrounding area.
Despite two enlargements, St. Michael's Church was so crowded that worshipers often had to kneel outside on the green.
His first choice for a location brought objections from Protestants, so he bought property on York Street, where he led efforts to build a new structure.
The cornerstone for St. John's was laid on Dec. 8, 1854. To commemorate Bapst's fight against the Know-Nothings, a piece of tarred, feathered, and bloodstained cassock was placed under the stone.
Parishioners guarded the unfinished structure at night.
The first mass was in 1855, but the building was not completed until shortly before Christmas 1856.

Parishioners helped to guard the unfinished structure and helped to construct the building.
Father Bapst had promised that the basement would be closed in and that he would say mass there before snow fell in 1855. The first mass was on Christmas Eve and snow fell during the service.

Father Bapst was later named the first president of Boston College, a position he held from 1863-1869. He was then appointed Superior of the New York and Canada Missions.
In his later years, Father Bapst's mind became confused, and he often relived his horrific experiences in Ellsworth. He eventually retired to a novitiate where he resided until his death in 1887.

Since the job forums have been pretty inactive for awhile, I thought I'd start a new topic in each devoted to things you'd like or wish that Square Enix would do with each job. They can be legitimate things you'd like to see, or they could be absurd, and, while they can be, they don't have to be any serious or groundbreaking changes you think each job needs, just something you think would improve them a bit in some form. Just try to keep the topic clean and drama free (emphasis on try). Just have some fun with this and let your ideas soar.
Well, besides the obvious Jubaku Ni and things like that, why don't Ninjas have some sort of sneak attack...thing? Ninjas have always been sneaky, stealthy individuals, not "Oh, look at the shadows you're hitting! But I'm still right here in front of you!" What I'd like to see is, occasionally, whenever a shadow is destroyed, the mob takes some extra damage and briefly turns around like something just hit it from behind.

They'll be playing in a tough league that's a step up from the Championship
I do wonder wether the changes in regard to the tackle area have changed what coaches will want from the 7 and if ball carrying is more crucial as your traditional 7 may not be as effective at turning the ball over as previously under the new laws.
Olly was magnificent when he came in for Cardiff. The number of tackles and turnovers he achieved in his 15 mins or so was amazing.
Quote:Singapore Sam
Never understood why Palamo was retained, if you're not doing the basics right at 28 then you never will. He's flattered to deceived especially on the 7s circuit where there is more time and space and his speed and atheleticism were able to compensate. He will be caught out in the Championship never mind the Premiership.

What do you think of communism? All US artists and intellectuals were expected to have an opinion on this issue in the 1930s. In the second half of the following decade, this was no longer necessary. All possible sympathies for socialist ideas were branded "un-American". The Cold War had begun. Reactionary forces, which had long been bothered by what they considered decadence and leftist tendencies in Hollywood, used the chance to portray the film industry as being infiltrated by communists. In October 1947, the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) started conducting hearings in Washington. Of dozens subpoenaed to answer questions, 11 – Alvah Bessie, Herbert J. Biberman, Lester Cole, Edward Dmytryk, Ring Lardner Jr., John Howard Lawson, Albert Maltz, Samuel Ornitz, Adrian Scott, Dalton Trumbo and Bertolt Brecht – were branded "unfriendly witnesses". With the exception of Brecht, who left for Europe shortly afterwards, they all refused to answer the question: "Are you or have you ever been a member of the Communist Party?" A month later, the "Hollywood Ten" were sentenced to imprisonment. The studios succumbed to the pressure of the anti-communist witch-hunters and the Hollywood blacklist was born. There were further HUAC hearings after 1951 and conservative publications also started publishing lists of "suspects". In the following years, hundreds in the film industry lost their livelihoods. Many were not able to find work in the entertainment industry until the 1960s, if at all.
This month's retrospective curated by Hannes Brühwiler pays tribute to those affected by the blacklist and features a selection of their films. All 24, including several which have rarely been screened, explore the filmmakers' key concerns: fascism (THE MAN I MARRIED), exploitation (GIVE US THIS DAY), racism (CRY, THE BELOVED COUNTRY), feminism (I CAN GET IT FOR YOU WHOLESALE), the greed of capitalism (FORCE OF EVIL) and more than once the despair of the worker-class (THE SOUND OF FURY). In sum, a left-wing vision of the US, which is rarely utopian but always exact and analytical, emerges. It is a cinema of "clairvoyant pessimism" (Noël Burch) that is as pertinent today as it was then.
Most of the films were made before the blacklist was compiled. They shed light on the liberties the filmmakers were able to take within Hollywood's narrow confines and reveal the conflicts that arose. They also underline the fact that there was a significant creative bloodletting (contrary to popular belief). This retrospective explicitly opposes Billy Wilder's malicious comment: "Of the ten, two had talent, and the rest were just unfriendly." JOHNNY GUITAR and RED HOLLYWOOD are two films which comment on the blacklist in different ways.
35mm prints of all the features will be shown; many of them have been restored.
NB: The names of those affected by the blacklist are in bold.
As an artistic stylistic device, the grotesque crosses all boundaries. Its definitions are as varied and subjective as its shifts in meaning in (art) history are numerous and its forms in film are frequent and multifaceted. Grotesque motifs appear in worlds of images, send shivers, combine with fantasy or humor (or both), light up characters, whose behavior ranges from the bizarre and eccentric to the monstrous, provide the basis for whole storylines, deform and transform cinematographic reality or break new ground in dramatic feverish dreams, hysterical excesses or satirical and absurd confusions. Grotesque elements can be found in all genres, from the comedy to the thriller, to Heimat films or romantic movies. Taking in different eras, styles and regions as usual, this month's 10 Magical History Tour films illustrate the influence of the grotesque's anarchic force – in ways that can be upsetting at times, or exhilarating, but always idiosyncratic and surprising.
What do 16mm, 35mm and 70mm actually mean? What is screen masking and what is it used for? How does a dissolve work? And what is actually happening when the image on the screen stops moving and begins to melt? If you're interested in finding out how films get on to the screen, Arsenal would like to invite you to take a peek behind the scenes on one of our projection room tours. Our projectionist Bodo Pagels will show you round the projection room, tell you all about film formats, projectors and projection techniques, demonstrate how films are fed into the projector and provide a full introduction to the secrets of film projection. He will also be happy to answer any questions you might have about the cinema set-up and will adapt the tour to your wishes and interests as far as possible.

General Information
Graduate programs at Ithaca College provide advanced preparation in the fields
of business, communications, exercise and sport sciences, music, occupational
therapy, physical therapy, and speech-language pathology. These master's
degree programs are based on the recognition that effective leadership
in these and related fields requires additional knowledge and specialized
skills beyond the baccalaureate level, as well as understanding and
competence in general education.
An account of the development
of the College since its founding in 1892 is given in the "History
of Ithaca College." The College's graduate programs
began in 1943 with establishment of a graduate studies department, primarily
to prepare teachers for master's degrees in physical education and music
education. That department evolved into the Division of Graduate Studies,
which currently offers
17 programs at the master's level.
The Campus and the City
Ithaca College is located in Ithaca, New York, a community of almost 50,000 year-round inhabitants in the heart of the Finger Lakes region. For a summary of information about its location and constituents, see "Ithaca College General Information." Detailed facts and statistics may be seen in "Facts in Brief."
Degree Programs
The following graduate degree programs are offered at Ithaca College. The numbers in parentheses are the Higher Education General Information Survey (HEGIS) classification codes.
Master of Business Administration (0506)
Master of Music in Brasses (1004)
Enrollment in other than registered or otherwise approved programs may jeopardize a student's eligibility for certain student aid awards. A graduate student should raise any questions about his or her program with the respective graduate chair.
Second Major Field
With consultation and approval from the student's major adviser, a second major field may be listed on a student's transcript when 50 percent of the second program's additional coursework is completed (e.g., 15 additional credits for programs requiring 30 credits for completion). A second major field does not lead to an additional degree or additional certification.
Graduate Council
The Graduate Council determines and recommends to the
provost and vice president of academic affairs policies and procedures
in the general administration and conduct of the graduate program, including
approval of the members of the graduate faculty. The council is responsible
for reviewing and recommending curricula, determining the eligibility
of candidates for degrees, and prescribing the conditions on which degrees
are awarded.
Student Responsibilities
A student's behavior must not interfere with the activities of the College or with the pursuit by other students of educational objectives. Any behavior on the part of individual students or groups that endangers the health or safety of the College community will not be tolerated. Standards of conduct designed to protect the rights of all members of the College community and preserve the functioning of the College as an educational institution are published in appropriate College documents, such as the "Student Conduct Code" in the Student Handbook.

A month ago, it appeared that Manchester United could not be overtaken in the club's bid to win another English Premier League soccer championship. But with elite teams now playing in so many competitions, virtually evey team hits a wall at some point, and recently the Mancs hit theirs. Thus, a lead over Liverpool that at the beginning of March was 7 points, with a game in hand, had been reduced coming into this weekend to a lead of 1 point, with a game still in hand.
On Saturday, red-hot Liverpool went to West London to play Fulham. The Cottagers are ninth in the EPL, but their home record was comparable to that of a top four team.
Liverpool came out blazing and could have been won the match in the first half, but for a series of shots that came back off the woodwork. As it was, the half-time score was 0-0. It seemed inevitable that the Shite would put the match away in the second half, but Fulham proved increasingly difficult to break down, and at the 90 minute mark the score was still 0-0. But in "stoppage time" (time added on for injuries and player substitutions), Liverpool's super-sub, the Israeli midfielder Yossi Benayoun, scored the game winner.
This meant that Liverpool was top-of-the-table, pending Man U's Sunday match at home against Aston Villa, the fifth place team. Villa's form has been horrible lately, but Man U would be playing without their two star center backs (Vidic and Ferdinand) and without Wayne Rooney.
Today, Villa dominated the first half against a confused United defense and were unlucky to be tied 1-1. When the Villains scored mid-way through the second half, it looked like Man U was headed to its third straight Premier League defeat, something that hasn't happened in nearly a decade.
But Cristiano Ronaldo scored his second goal of the day in the 80th minute. And in stoppage time, Federico Macheda scored an incredible winner, shooting off of a sharp turn and producing a goal Johan Cryuff would have been proud of. Macheda had come on as a substitute. He is only 17, and this was his first game in the Man U senior squad.
The outcome was pleasing for Everton, and not just because it sets Liverpool back. As a result of our 4-0 victory over Wigan (unfashionable, but sitting in eighth place), we are only a point behind Aston Villa for fifth place. Unfortunately, fourth place, and a spot in next year's Champions League, looks beyond our reach. A revived Arsenal side is seven points ahead of us with only seven matches to play.
But the positives vastly outweight the negatives. For we will be in Europe next year, and we still have the FA Cup to play for. Our semi-final match with Manchester United is in two weeks.

Happy birthday to Northbrae Community Church in Berkeley, which is celebrating its 100th anniversary this weekend.
Northbrae was founded Feb. 7, 1914, when a handful of local families held a service in the home of William and Mary Pressley at 1003 Mariposa St. (The Sunday school was held in the garage.) Services continued in various homes — and for a while in the Mason McDuffie Real Estate sales office — until 1920, when, under the leadership of Northbrae's first minister, Frank Brush, the church building was erected at the corner of Los Angeles and The Alameda.
Though Northbrae was founded as a Presbyterian church, people were already calling it "Northbrae Community Church," reflecting the philosophy best expressed by Brush's successor, Laurance Cross: "This church will take into full membership a Jew, a Muslim, a Hindu — anyone who will promise to do good and be good." It officially became a non-denominational congregation in 1943.
Brush retired in 1924 and was succeeded by Cross, one of those larger-than-life characters who would be unbelievable if you read about him in a novel. He supported the teaching of evolution in the Scopes "monkey trial," preached racial tolerance to the John Birchers, and, as chairman of the Berkeley school board, cast the deciding vote to allow Paul Robeson to use the Berkeley Community Theater for a concert after San Francisco and Oakland turned him down.
From 1929 to 1939 he hosted a daily radio show, "Crosscuts From The Log O' Life," which was broadcast nationwide on NBC. And to top it all off, he served two terms as Mayor of Berkeley from 1947 to 1955.
When he died in 1966, he was a hard act to follow, but Northbrae found the perfect candidate: Craig Jessup, who had just been fired by his church in Alameda for supporting integrated housing. That would have been the kiss of death for most churches, but for Northbrae it was the highest possible recommendation.
He justified their confidence by drawing on his own experiences as a soldier in the Korean War to preach the virtues of peace, a timely message during the Vietnam War. After his retirement in 1977 he joined the Peace Corps and taught farming in New Guinea.
The fourth minister was Dave Sugarbaker. On his watch, Northbrae opened the doors to other denominations, where they could worship while they were building their own homes, including two Jewish congregations: Congregation Netivot Shalom and Kehilla Community Synagogue. He also conducted more than 1,000 weddings for couples who didn't have a church or whose church wouldn't marry them for whatever reason (i.e. because they were gay or were marrying someone of a different faith). After serving for 27 years he was succeeded in 2000 by Ron Sebring, who created the Rite of Passage program, a coming-of-age ritual for young people, like an ecumenical bar mitzvah.
Sebring retired in 2011 and was succeeded by a string of interim ministers until the current minister, Mike Burch, took over last year.
Northbrae will celebrate its centennial on Feb. 8 with a banquet featuring Rev. Jessup's son, Craig Jr., as emcee. The next morning it will kick off its second hundred years with a service of celebration, and the public is cordially invited.
Northbrae might be short on dogma, but I have never met more Godly people. It's not easy to live up to Rev. Cross' admonition to "do good and be good," but these folks really try.
Happy anniversary, Northbrae.

NHIAA Boys' Soccer: Bedford gets double-overtime winnerBy HARRY KOZLOWSKI
Special to the Union Leader
September 13. 2013 9:53PM
BEDFORD — Bedford's James Heald scored the game winning goal in the eighth minute of the second overtime to defeat Merrimack, 1-0, in Division I boys' soccer play Friday.
Minutes earlier, Heald had a chance to end the game on a penalty kick but Merrimack goalkeeper Mike Guest dove to his left to stop the shot.
"It was my worst nightmare," said Heald of missing the penalty. "Fortunately I had the chance to win it later."
The match was evenly played with neither team was able to generate much offense.
The best scoring chance during regulation came off the foot of Bedford junior forward Brett Squires, who rang a shot off the post at the 20-minute mark.
Both goalkeepers were sharp stopping the shots that did get through.
Merrimack's best scoring chance came with about 19 minutes left in the second from James Oswald.
After taking a looping over-the-shoulder pass, Oswald broke in on net but Bedford defender Joshua Leary was able to harass him enough for his shot to miss the goal.
Bedford had one more opportunity late when Chris Briggs was able to get around Merrimack's Michael Conlin.
Briggs squared a pass to Brett Squires at the top of the 18-yard box that was deflected over the net with less than nine minutes to go.
After Heald's stymied penalty in the first overtime, Bedford struck in the second. Michael Kitsis was able to feed Heald with a pass between Tomahawk defenders. Heald's shot beat Guest to his left to end it
Merrimack coach Ryan Farnsworth said his team, now 1-2, played well but couldn't find the net.
"Both teams had their chances" said Farnsworth.
"It's a relief" said Bedford (2-1) coach Stewart Pepper. "After the letdown of that penalty kick our guys found a way to finish."

Police database delayed indefinitely
Response to Soham murders canned
The Police National Database has been scaled back because of budget over-runs and technical problems.
The commitment to a full implementation of the Police National Database (PND) by 2010 appears to have been dropped. Full implementation of the PND could only now be managed if the budget was allowed to over-run by up to £186.3m.
The information is included in the Fourth Progress Report of the Bichard Inquiry - the inquiry into the murder of school girls Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman. Failures of data sharing between forces were blamed for allowing Ian Huntley to get a job at a primary school.
The planned link between the PND and the courts service computer systems has been delayed by two years after the emergence of legal and technical problems related to Libra, the long-running attempt to sort out IT in magistrates' courts.
Meanwhile, the CRISP programme, which was to provide an interim solution and a stepping stone to the final PND, has been scrapped, as revealed by The Register in April.
Last year's Third Progress Report on Bichard said clearly and repeatedly that the the PND would be "fully operational" by 2010, though an unspecified proportion of the budget had been set aside for work through to 2016.
The Fourth Report, published yesterday, said that "deployment of first phase of PND capabilities" would be finished by 2010.
The PND deadline would be dependent on negotiations held with potential suppliers from mid-2007, and presumably the given contract deadline of 2008 being met promptly. Regardless, it appeared that plans were being scaled back.
"It is currently believed that the most promising approach would be to deliver the PND capabilities in a phased manner...[The] first capabilities would be deployed during 2010," said the Fourth Report.
Moreover, it said: "subsequent deliverables" would be "subject to affordability in later spending periods".
It was not clear what this revision would mean for post-Soham policing. Police would be given the means to "search for and access intelligence and other operational information" by 2010. If the post 2010 developments went ahead they would "enable locally held information to be linked with that on national systems, including the PNC".
"Pressure on the Home Office budget as a whole" was blamed for the demise of CRISP. However, there was also a technical snarl-up that may have led the project to run over-budget. The project had accumulated unforeseen costs to deal with a "technical problem which had emerged in the course of testing the software and which was causing slippage in the procurement timetable".
Neither details of the problem nor its additional costs were given, even though the the core elements of CRISP will still be employed in the final PND.
The estimated cost of the full PND had increased by between £53.3m and £186.3m. This time last year, the PND was set to cost £367m between 2005 and 2016. £31m of that was spent in 05/06. Another £30.4m was spent in 06/07. But the Fourth report estimated that another £156.9m would have to be spent between 2007 and 2012.
"Requirements after then will depend on considerations around affordability of possible options for linking locally held information with that on national systems," said the report.
The full PND, if further developments were given the go-ahead after 2012 (or 2010, as it said elsewhere in the report) and lasting to 2017, would cost another £202m to £335m.
Links to the courts service computer systems have also been delayed by two years, though in the Fourth Report, the Home Office has dropped any reference to the 2007 deadline for the police national computer to be linked to Libra, the ill-fated magistrates' courts system. This gave the impression that the link had been delayed only one year, but it has in fact slipped by two years.
The Fourth Report predicted the following milestone: "Direct reporting of results from Magistrates' Courts and Crown Court – Mar 2009 (originally end 2008)".
The Third Report gives a more complete picture. It states that the deadline for the Crown Courts to start adding court results direct into the PNC was indeed 2008 (though not necessarily the end). The deadline for the link from the Magistrates Libra system was given as December 2007.
"Direct input of courts' results to the PNC is now a fully approved and fully funded project," said the Third Report, though it said: "For Magistrates' Courts' results, this rests on implementation of the planned Libra case management system by the Department for Constitutional Affairs".
Libra has been notoriously problematic for the DCA and even as the Home Office was writing these words last year it was known to still be causing the DCA a headache. The DCA's mammoth DISC contract renewal last year was delayed by about five months because of problems with Libra that the DCA consistently failed to explain.
The Fourth report said that the PND would no longer be "delivered in partnership" with CJIT, the criminal justice IT organisation, "in the light of subsequent research and legal advice". Last year, it said the CJIT had approved the funding for its development of the PND interface. This would now be handled by the PND team, it said. No further details were given.®

TUNICA, Miss. — Alan Blaine was riding with a farmer to look at soybeans in a field in south Mississippi.
"I told him I thought he had some worms out there, and he sailed off that turn-row and down through that bottom he went," said Blaine. "He drove about 500 to 600 yards out in the field and then turned around and came back.
"When he got back on the turn-row, he jumped out of the truck, went around to the front grill, looked at it and said, 'Yeah, I got a few.' I thought about that and, by golly, at least he checked."
The story, which took place 15 to 20 years ago, got a good laugh from an audience of crop consultants accustomed to spending a lot of time in the field scouting cotton and rice but rarely soybeans. That may be about to change, however, as soybeans continue to shed their image as a stepchild crop.
Blaine, Extension soybean specialist in Mississippi, was speaking at a workshop on "Soybean Consulting in 2005: New Challenges, New Opportunities" in Tunica, Miss. The meeting, sponsored by the Mississippi Agricultural Consultants Association, attracted consultants from all of the Mid-South states and Alabama.
"The coming growing season will bring with it many new challenges, the most obvious being the task of finding and managing Asian soybean rust in our southern soybean fields," Gerald Daniel, MACA president, told the consultants.
"The MACA board of directors believed that this challenge was also an opportunity to advance the profession of independent crop consulting on soybeans in the South."
Blaine didn't have to tell the consultants that soybeans have not always been seen in the same light as cotton and rice. Low yields and low prices in the late 1980s and 1990s often relegated soybeans to the status of a secondary crop.
But that perception has been changing slowly as farmers learned they could increase yields by planting earlier maturing varieties early — and by getting into fields to see what was happening to the plants.
Then came last year's higher prices and the so-called "August premium" that growers could receive by harvesting their soybeans in August. That helped accelerate the move to early planting that some growers had already been participating in.
"Higher yields have been the driving force behind this trend," said Blaine, who joined the Mississippi Extension Service in 1987. "When you look at some of the yields we were dealing with in the 1980s, many growers had nothing to lose by trying something different."
Since Mississippi growers began switching to early-planted soybeans in 1992, yields have been on a steady uptrend. Non-irrigated fields enrolled in the Soybean Management by Application of Research and Technology (SMART) program that Blaine oversees have averaged more than 40 bushels per acre with early planting of early-maturing varieties in the last 13 years.
"Early planting and planting early-maturing soybeans are the biggest shots in the arm for soybean yields that we've ever seen," he said. "I think it has a fit for growers all across the South and up the East Coast."
Early planting isn't new, he said, noting that researchers were experimenting with planting indeterminant, early-maturing varieties in south Texas 25 years ago. "They had a lot of success, but it just took a while for it to move this way."
Some of the Texas researchers moved to Arkansas and carried the practice with them. And Larry Heatherly, agronomist with the USDA Agricultural Research Service's Soybean Product Research Unit at Stoneville, Miss., spent 14 years fine-tuning the practice for Mid-South growers.
In 2004, Mississippi growers planted 70 percent of their acreage in Group 4 early-maturing varieties, with many of those going in the ground in March to try to collect the August premium.
"Our growers have pushed the envelope on planting dates in the last two or three years," said Blaine. "In those last three years, growers in our state have planed soybeans between March 7 and March 12. I think that's a little early, but we've had growers do that successfully."
Although intermittent rains kept farmers out of fields much of the March, growers had planted some Group 4s in the Delta when Blaine spoke in Tunica on March 24. Blaine said he wouldn't give up on Group 4s just yet.
"I've had growers say they bought Group 4s, they need to get them planted, what should they do?" he said. "You should keep planting them. If you plant a Group 4 variety later, it's going to act like a Group 5. You're going to shift the maturity on them.
"If you don't believe me, plant a variety on March 25, plant the same variety on April 25 and again on May 25. You'll have one variety, but three different animals because they will all react differently because of the planting dates."
One of the keys to making early planting work, he said, is to take care of land preparation in the fall and use tillage or an early burndown program in the spring to kill winter vegetation. "Earlier planting will allow fields to dry out and warm back up," he said.
He also believes farmers face reductions in yields if they don't have their soybeans planted by May 25. "I would prefer to see us finish by May 10, but I know there are extenuating circumstances when you're planting soybeans. When we're trying to maximize soybean yields, we need to push toward earlier planting."
Mississippi State specialists also recommend that growers plant seed treated with a broad-spectrum fungicide to protect seedlings against diseases in early spring. "We're trying to encourage most of our growers to plant early," says Blaine. "And we know what causes most soybean farmers to lose their stand when they do that — Pythium."
For that reason, Blaine believes growers should apply a Pythium-based seed treatment program containing Apron or Allegiance. "We think you need a broad spectrum program and that could be Apron or Allegiance combined with Vitavax or Maxxum, and now Quadris is on the scene."

10 years ago, I have bought the japanese surf spots atals. As it was in japanese, I just saw the photos. I remarked a photo with no mention of a beautiful surf spot. It was a dream, the type of dream wich make you travel. I didn't even knew where it was...except it was a reef in Shikoku.
We passed at this reef this afternoon at low tide: there was no wave but I recognized the landscape. It was Takegashima ! We went to do snorkelling and the tideraised up. When I came back to quit the area, I saw a small wave with a surfer. I jumped in the water via the etrapods and surf it.
The surf was far than exceptionnal but as it's a reef, the wave really surfable. And the water was so clear. And the landscape was beautiful. And I was so far from home. I just enjoyed so much this session. The other guy was a japanese on a single. A fierce local. But after 30mn, as I kept a low profile, we started to speak. He explained me that the spot is usually totally crowded.
The wave got better with the rising tide. I had to come back.

Just a question. I've just seen Episode 2 but wasn't that Takemikazuchi a bit ahead of its time? It's supposed to have been produced in the early 2000, but that scene takes place in 1998.
It could be explained if it was still a prototype (combat ready though!) but how the hell Yui recognized it?

This episode is why I was wary about Satelight doing the animation production for the show. They're like the rare example of the studio whose CGI drawing ability far outstrips their ability to do regular art and animation. It almost makes you think they don't actually really know how to do it and all their artists training and talent went into CGI. At least they aren't handling the story on this one otherwise it could probably be a whole lot worse.
3rd episode was okay. Things definitely got a whole lot more lighthearted and the best that each nation has to offer is about what one expect. Whatever is left, which amounts to an Italian pretty boy, a loudmouth Nepalese, an even tempered swede, Nippon Banzai Yui, and an American redneck. Oh and a mysterious and unstable seeming pair of sisters from Russia. So far I'd have to say that only Yuuya and the Russians seem anywhere near what one would expect to be elite under normal circumstances but since most of the other countries aces are already dead it can be forgiven.
What I had to laugh at though is the camera lingering on shots of female characters asses and boobs as they jiggled all over the place. I sort of hope that doesn't become too frequent because the way the series set itself up honestly owes for a little more serious take on mecha conflict. It'd be one thing if this were a rule of cool super robot show, but post apocalyptic life or death struggles and regularly scheduled fanservice shots have never mixed all that well in my experience.
The mock battle was okay, the fight choreagraphy was decent as was Yuuya's method for resolving it, but other than the episode is what it is, an introduction to the main cast. At least they all seem like they have the potential to be interesting characters so far...possibly with the exception of the Nepal chick who is most just loud and annoying and butthurt throughout the episode. Of all the pilots she definitely feels the most like a last resort entrant into this program.

If I understand correctly, Muv-Luv is an eroge.
For an eroge franchise-turned-anime, it's showing remarkable restraint. I think I can live with the unneeded buttock and boob shots/lingers/references, as I have to assume there's some pressure to throw the franchise fans a bone.
It's certainly far preferable to throwing some cat ears on them as certain other 'mecha' shows have done in recent years.
As for Nepal. I just looked at Wikipedia for its army (has no airforce). LoL is about all I have to say.

The battle was way too long... just fanservice for mecha otaku They could definitely use some ecchi fanservice, since plot and character development don't seem to be priorities in this production.
What's the point in training against other mecha when your enemy fights completely differently (tactically and strategically)... no wonder humanity is losing to BETA

Welcome to Total Eclipse. That's what it's mostly about, TSF development by using data acquired from mock battles and other activities involving different units to advance the current technology. Adapting designs from other models of other countries, and integrating it to their own designs which will greatly benefit those who participated in the project. Better maneuverability, laser warning systems, reaction time, fire control systems, and operating system is always a good thing. Of course, its not enough to improve mankind's standing in the war at the moment. Then again, it's not like XFJ Project is the only thing mankind is working on...
And don't forget MLA:C03. Age finally went all-ages when they released that thing. I bet it'd be the same for the upcoming TE VN.

Human vs Human combat training to fight BETA no wonder they're losing
They should be focusing on developing biological weapons or chemical attack. Well I guess when the main draw is cool mecha sensible options are off the table. Do they have a good reason why only mechs are viable

Good episode wasn't disappointed in the mecha fight scenes. The character introduction was also great, showed a lot of chemistry between all pilots and we quickly understand what their personal quirks are. Venus is one sexy blonde and deadly too.
