Interview with vykingsfan64

Our latest poll is still running, and we are only looking for a few more votes: Should a medal be given for each and every tournament won?
Please stop by the Suggestion Thread and vote.
Hello again.
Even though this is a little late, with St. Paddy's day being a week ago I thought I would write about it. I hope you had fun, because I sure did. In this article is a little interview between yours truly and Oaktown, the creator of the St. Paddy's day map. First some fun facts about the St. Paddys day celebration.
1.Over 3 days exactly 5,883 games were completed.
2.Thats 1,961 games a day.
3.And about 82 every hour.
Now a interview with the one, the only, Oaktown. Let's give him a round of applause. (WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO) (Come on OAK) ( )
blacky44: How did you come up with the map? Where did you get your inspiration?
oaktown: I was on a plane over the holidays and I started doodling holiday-themed map ideas... easter eggs, clovers, Santa's North Pole, etc. My first doodles were pretty similar to how the map came out in the end. When I pitched the idea of a short-run holiday map I received positive feedback, so I ran with it. I have to give big props to the rest of the mod team for their help and their secrecy through the process.
blacky44: Will you create another map, like for this Easter? Will there be a party on CC for Easter?
oaktown: I won't be creating an Easter map, but I would like to spring another map on you all sometime down the road. And even if I knew what it would be I probably wouldn't tell... it's really more fun if it's a surprise, isn't it?
blacky44: Will this map be used next year?
oaktown: Can't really say - that'll be up to the admins to decide. Since I can't seem to get a break in any of my games on the map, I'd like a second crack at it next year!
I hope you have enjoyed this weeks News Hound. This is blacky44 saying Peace Out.
The completed tournament with the most players is Natewolfman's One Shot, One Kill.

This week we had the chance to talk with vykingsfan64. All the questions in the interview are based off input from newsletter readers. Check in next week for another tournament interview.
Now, on with the Interview!
Q: Hello, vykingsfan64.
A: Hello Gozar.
Q:What makes you interview worthy?
A: I am a man of many words and personalities.
Q:How did you find this website?
A: The great and powerful Google.
Q: Why did you join CC?
A: We were sitting around at work talking about that "famous world dominating board game" so I thought I would try to find one like it to play online.
Q:Why did you start to play tournaments?
A: Just to put more meaning behind the games.
Q:What made you want to start running tournaments?
A: I just woke up one morning with an idea for a tournament so I started it.
Q: How long have you been organizing tournaments?
A: Almost 2 years now.
Q:What tournament did you first run?
A: Classic Ladder - it just finished by the way.
Q: Where did you come up with your tournament ideas?
A: The voices in my head tell me ideas.
Q: Who do you look to for inspiration when organizing your tournaments?
A: All the other organizers out there.
Q: Describe the experience of your first tournament ran, and first played in.
A: Excited and thrilled to be a part of them.
Q:Tell us about your overall tournament experience from when you first joined a tournament to the present day. How has it changed for you? Is it a better experience than before? Worse?
A: I have played and enjoyed many tournaments so far. I think their are many organizers who do a great job.
Q: How many tournaments have you run already, and do you have a goal in mind for how many you want to run in total before you "retire"? How many are you running right now?
A: I have run only 2 tournaments so far because they took a long time to complete. I plan on starting another one here in the near future.
Q:What tournaments have you organized?
A: Classic Ladder and 2008 MLB
Q:What is your favourite tournament you have run?
A: I really enjoyed 2008 MLB because it is sports related.
Q: What is your favorite tournament you've played in? Why?
A: Easily it is flex's NCAA College Hoops tourney's. He does an outstanding job with the standings and his news stories.
Q:Do you prefer to run or enter tournaments?
A: It doesn't matter to me, I enjoy both!
Q: Is there a specific type of format that you tend to gravitate towards? Why? Is there a format that is your favourite? What about other peoples' tournaments?
A: I really prefer the sports themed tournaments.
Q:Are you selective about which types of tournaments you join or do you join just about everything you can fit into your personal game load? If you are selective, do you look for certain styles or organizers?
A: I guess I would say I tend to play as many as I can. I usually will play anything from the same organizers I've played for before.
Q:What would be your dream tournament if someone were to offer to run it for you so that you just had to show up and play? Or, have you already participated in your dream tournament?
A: It doesn't get any better than flex's NCAA College Hoops tourney's. If you like to play 1vs1 games, you have to play in this.
Q: Do you find it easier to choose tournament settings yourself, or to let the players customize them?
A: Choosing settings myself.
Q: Overall, are you playing a lot in tournaments? If not, then why and where do you find your games to play?
A: I usually have about 10 going at a time. Right now I'm down to about 5 because I have been pretty busy lately.
Q: How excited where you with your first CC win?
A: Ecstatic!
Q:Have you ever won a tournament?
A: Yes, I believe I have won 4.
Q: What is your most disappointing tournament loss to date?
A: I was playing a blind doubles tourney and made the championship game. After the 2nd turn my partner disappears and deadbeats the game. Probably Optimus Prime's easiest win ever!
Q: In your mind, what makes a successful tournament?
A: One that starts and finishes.
Q: What do you consider to be the most successful tournaments you've seen run?
A: There have been so many great tournaments, it all goes back to the organizer.
Q:Have you ever been disappointed in a tournament you have run? What about one you entered?
A: Sorry Gozar, but I was really sad to see the "Longwalk" get abandoned. My team was in 1st place you know!
Q: What makes a successful organizer?
A: One that is very organized and keeps the players updated.
Q: How do you attract players to your tournament, and what aspect (besides a reward of a premium prize or something like that) of a tournament do you think appeals to a lot of players and why?
A:There are just so many different kinds of games and settings that if you are looking to play, you will find something.
Q: Is there anything in particular that you dislike about tournament organizing?
A: Making all the games. (Almost 2,500 just for MLB)
Q: For you, what is the best part of being a tournament organizer?
A: Just nice to know I have come up with something that other people enjoy playing in.
Q: What mistakes do you see tournament organizers make the most?
A: Not keeping players updated.
Q: With experience comes the wisdom of knowing what mistakes you've made in the past so you can avoid them in the future. What mistakes have you made in your tournaments that you are sure to avoid in future tournaments?
A: Making sure I have the time needed for the tourney I am running.
Q:What is your opinion on organizer neutrality? Should organizers be allowed to place themselves against their own clanmates in tournaments? Should organizers be allowed to join their own tournaments at all?
A: Yes, I don't see why not.
Q: Do you use a "schedule" for updating your tournaments, or do you just wait until they need an update?
A: I try to update before the next round of games begin.
Q:Should "question marks" be allowed to join tournaments?
A: Sorry newbies, but my answer is NO.
Q:Do you feel it is better to give a bye to players whose opponents deadbeats the tournament, or to use a reserve?
A: I try to use reserves whenever possible.
Q: If you could change one thing about Conquer Club in general, what would it be?
A: Getting rid of or stopping all these makings of new maps.
Q: If there was something that the Conquer Club administrators could implement into the game to make tournaments easier to manage, what would it be? Similarly, is there anything you would like to see taken away from Conquer Club to make running tournaments easier?
A: Can't think of anything at the moment.
Q: Is there anything that you would recommend to encourage new tournament organizers?
A: Don't be afraid to ask for help. There are many great organizers here who are willing to help out and give advise if you need it.
Q: List your top 5 biggest tournament headache's to this point
A: I really only have 1, DEADBEATS.
Q:How much time does CC take from your day?
A:Let's see, I'm at work 10 hours a day so that would be 9/12 hours or so.
Q:Are you a member of any clans or usergroups?
A: No, I don't play well with others.
Q:Who are you?
A: A 33 year old male who has been told he looks like "Tackleberry" from those Police Academy movies.
Q: Why did you pick the name vykingsfan64?

Q:Where are you from?
A: Minnesota
Q:Favourite play colour?
A: Blue, easiest to see.
Q:Favourite and least favourite map?
A: I like the USA map the best. I really hate all those gimmicky maps (They know who they are: AOR and AOM and stuff)
Q:Favourite settings?
A: Seqential, Flat, Chained, No Fog
Q:Freestyle or sequential?
A: Sequential, Freestyle is for cheaters!
Q: Any tournaments planned for the future? What are they?
A: Classic Ladder 2 -trying to think of a way to be 1vs1 this time.

Pool Time
This week Celeste and Dani went to visit Ainsley at her place. They stayed by the pool since it was hot sunny day. She had a ping pong table set up by the pool so they started a game. Whoever missed a point had to take something off so they got naked pretty quick. From there they took the party by the pool where they really let loose. You dont want to miss these hotties exploring all of Ainsleys tight holes, hot.

Helping Seniors at Home and In Home Care for the Elderly
As our loved ones age, the everyday activities that were a normal part of routine become increasingly difficult to accomplish without some form of assistance. If your senior loved is still relatively active and is able to participate and attend local events, they may benefit from help in the form of in home care. A life altering move to an assisted living facility or nursing home could be very detrimental to an active senior's overall outlook on life; it's best to provide some assistance in the comforts of their home. Not only is your loved one most comfortable in their own home, they are also more likely to have a more positive view on life and will be happier in the long run.
When given the choice, most people would opt to remain in the comforts of their home for as long as physically possible. In home care for seniors and elderly makes it possible for a loved one to maintain regular outings with friends and remain in their familiar community. In home care for the elderly can consist of personal assistance as well as light housekeeping and help with other daily chores. Your loved one might not require around-the-clock care. While they may be fine with attending to their own personal care, it might be beneficial to have to someone to remind them to take their medications or to help prepare a healthy meal.
There are times when even the most active senior needs some assistance at home. It can be overwhelming trying to keep up with daily chores and in some ways, household neglect can become hazardous. Laundry piling up can be a tripping hazard and overlooked expired food in the refrigerator can make your loved one sick. Just a little extra help around the home can be the boost your senior loved one needs to remain in the comforts of home. In home care for the elderly includes light housekeeping, assistance with the laundry, some grocery shopping, and a ride to and from appointments or shopping, among many other forms of help around the house. Sometimes helping a senior loved one at home just requires some companionship when the days feel a little long.
If you would like to learn more about caring and consistent in home help for the elderly and the many benefits of professional in home senior care or dementia and Alzheimer's care, call Senior Helpers of Fountain Valley to speak to a senior care specialist today 714-593-1177! The compassionate senior care specialists at Senior Helpers can also guide you through the process of receiving the Veterans Administration Aid and Attendance Benefit if your elderly loved one is a veteran. In home senior care and in home assisted living allows your loved one to stay in the comforts of their own home for as long as possible while receiving the level of care they need. Senior Helpers of Fountain Valley provides a wide range of services including Alzheimer's and dementia care, personal assistance, companionship, and so much more to all areas of Orange County, Huntington Beach, Fountain Valley, Costa Mesa, Laguna Hills, and Laguna Woods, California.

Vincent, a registered art therapist who heads her own practice on Coleman Boulevard, is part of ArtReach, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to "assist the growth and development of children who have experienced traumatic effects of war, violence and natural disasters through creative and expressive art therapies."
As Vincent put it, they teach others to "use the arts as a way to heal."
Vincent has been to Bosnia twice with ArtReach and recently returned from a two-week trip to Haiti.
The poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, Haiti still suffers the destructive effects of the earthquake that occurred in 2010. Vincent and ArtReach used art therapy to help Haitian elementary students and teachers deal with the poverty-stricken circumstances.
One activity was "drawing a safe place" in which Haitian students responded by illustrating homes that could shelter them from violence, a fear-igniting factor that most Haitians know too well. Another activity involved making healing circles called "mandalas."
According to Vincent, these techniques allow a person to self-express issues that may be buried deep within one's self. It allows the "unconscious to come to terms with the conscious," Vincent said.
"You can identify an issue, and deal with it, much quicker than talk-therapy because your unconscious is speaking," Vincent said of art therapy.
Volunteers also assisted the Haitians using dance, music and interactive activities to promote self-awareness and inner healing. Such creative arts are not unfamiliar to Haitians, as Vincent relayed her astonishment at their ability to "have fun with nothing."
At the end of each session, children, instructors and volunteers would meet along a labyrinth, a circular path used to center one's self.
One Haitian community leader presented ArtReach with a three-dimensional cardboard sculpture. Above its delicately carved windows was the title "Imagination Healing Center" with an "ArtReach Foundation" sign posted in the front. Vincent and the organization's director were moved to tears.
According to Vincent, this was evidence of the impact of art therapy.
"We can't express verbally what the arts can do … It spills over into every aspect of your life; that's the healing," Vincent said.
She encourages everyone to try it for themselves, as it can be used not only to overcome inner illnesses, but to become more self-aware. For more information on art therapy, contanct Vincent at 843-870- 7236. For more information on ArtReach, visit www.artreachfoundation.org. Donations for ArtReach and Haiti can be made through the organization's website as well.

David Cameron urges internet firms to block child abuse images
The prime minister has warned internet companies that they need to act to block access to child abuse images or face new legal controls.
David Cameron told the BBC's Andrew Marr Show search firms like Google must do more to stop results from "depraved and disgusting" search terms.
Google said when it discovers child abuse images it acts to remove them.
Labour said the PM's plans did not go "far enough" and criticised cuts to online child abuse policing budgets.
Google is one of a number of firms which recently agreed on measures to step up the hunt for abusive images.
In June, after a meeting chaired by the culture secretary, the government said Google and others including Yahoo!, Microsoft, Twitter and Facebook would allow the charity the Internet Watch Foundation actively to seek out abusive images, rather than just acting upon reports they received.
'Big argument'
The prime minister said he wanted search companies to go even further and block certain search terms from providing results.
He predicted that the call would prompt a "big argument", but he warned: "If we don't get what we need we'll have to look at legislation."
The interview precedes a speech on Monday, in which Mr Cameron is expected to provide more details of the government's plans.
Anyone searching for a word on a "blacklist" compiled by the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (Ceop) should be made to view a webpage warning them of the consequences, "such as losing their job, their family, even access to their children", Mr Cameron will say.
"There are some searches which are so abhorrent and where there can be no doubt whatsoever about the sick and malevolent intent of the searcher," the PM will add.
He will tell the internet companies: "If there are technical obstacles to acting on this, don't just stand by and say nothing can be done; use your great brains to help overcome them."
A spokesman from Google said: "We have a zero tolerance attitude to child sexual abuse imagery. Whenever we discover it, we respond quickly to remove and report it.
"We recently donated $5m (£3.3m) to help combat this problem and are committed to continuing the dialogue with the government on these issues."
Shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper said: "Child abuse is a hideous crime and its scale on the internet is deeply worrying.
"David Cameron said he would make sure the police had the resources. But the truth is that Theresa May has cut by 10% the resources for the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Agency," she said.
Despite identifying 50,000 cases of British residents accessing images of child abuse online last year, Ceop had pursued only about 2,000, she added.
'Very secretive'
The debate about online images showing the sexual abuse of children has come to prominence following two high-profile court cases in which offenders were known to have sought child pornography online.
Mark Bridger, sentenced to life in May for the murder of five-year-old April Jones in Machynlleth, Powys, searched for child abuse and rape images.
And police who searched the Croydon home of Stuart Hazell, jailed for life in May for murdering 12-year-old Tia Sharp, said they had found "extensive" pornography featuring young girls.
But Jim Killock, executive director of the Open Rights Group which campaigns for online freedoms, said: "The idea that banning some search terms will reduce the amount of child pornography online is a bit of a mistake.
"While I think David Cameron is very well intentioned, and of course everybody wants this kind of material to be tackled, we have no real evidence that search engines are the major way that people try to find this material.
"Because it's very, very illegal, people tend to be very secretive."
It would be better to boost funds for the policing of the criminal gangs and private networks responsible for the production and distribution of child abuse images, and to crack down on the methods used to pay for them, he said.
A recent Ceop report highlighted how the "hidden internet" helped distributers of child abuse images to evade detection by using encrypted networks and other secure methods.
But John Carr, from the Children's Charities' Coalition on Internet Safety, said the PM was "absolutely right: there is more that can be done and should be done."
He conceded the plans would not hinder the "tiny, tiny proportion of highly technically literate paedophiles".
"But there's a whole group of others. I mean, we know about two of them, because they were caught and convicted in those murder trials. The judge pointed to the way that they had used the internet to feed their murderous interest and depraved sexual interest in children," he said.
"That kind of thing we can stop."
During a meeting with Mr Cameron at Downing Street, reported in the Sun newspaper, Paul Jones, the father of murdered schoolgirl April, said: "Why can't they take this stuff off the internet? Kids are getting killed, abused, raped and messed up for the rest of their lives.
"What's their excuse? I think it is money. They have the technology and they can do this."
Mr Cameron also said he would like to see more restrictions on access to legal pornography that can be seen online by children.
"There are rules about what films you can see in a cinema, what age you have to be to buy alcohol or cigarettes.
"But on the internet, there aren't those rules, so we need to help parents with control."

President Kennedy is assassinated
President John F. Kennedy is shot and killed as his motorcade drives through Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Texas. Kennedy's suspected assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, was believed to have used a mail-order rifle in order to shoot the president from the sixth story window of the Texas School Book Depository.
Oswald was a former Marine with a record of bizarre behavior. In 1959, he defected to Russia after years of obsessive interest in communism. He spent three years there before becoming disaffected and returning to the United States in 1962. Upon his return, he became involved with several political fringe groups and developed an intense interest in Cuba and Fidel Castro.
On November 22, several people claimed to have seen Oswaldnear the sixth floor of theDepository, where he was employed. From the sixth floor window, atop cartons of books assembled to make a sniper's perch, Oswald purportedly fired three shots, the last of which killed Kennedy as his motorcade passed by the building. A gun that was later located in the Depository had a palm print that matched Oswald's.
Forty-five minutes after the assassination, Oswald was seen hurrying through the Dallas streets by police officer J.D. Tippit, who identified him as matching the description of Kennedy's killer. When Tippit attempted to apprehend him, Oswald shot him to death with a revolver and fled.
In the early afternoon, police converged on the Texas Theater, where Oswald had been spotted. Inside, Oswald punched an approaching officer and withdrew a pistol. The gun misfired and other police officers grabbed him. "I am not resisting arrest," Oswald cried as he was dragged out in front of an angry crowd of onlookers. "Don't hit me anymore! I want a lawyer!" In fact, Oswald would never require the services of an attorney because he was shot and killed by Dallas restaurant owner Jack Ruby as he was being transferred fromthe police station to the county jailtwo days later.

Three Associations Present Appreciation Awards At Graduation
SOCORRO, N.M. May 17, 2011 -- Every year at commencement, three organizations give awards to honor individuals who have provided exceptional service to New Mexico Tech. The Student Association, the Graduate Student Association and the Alumni Association each give awards.
|Alex Plonczak accepts his award from SA President Joaquin Roibal.
|Dr. Dan Walsh prepares to accept a 2011 Appreciation Award from the Student Association.
|SA President Joaquin Roibal congratulates Dr. Jeff Altig for taking home an Appreciation Award.
|GSA President Sarah Hendrickson thanks Dr. Daniel Lopez for his support of the organization.
|GSA President Sarah Hendrickson introduces award winner Mike Herman.
|Past president of the GSA Shasta Marrero is all smiles while receiving an appreciation award from current GSA president Sarah Hendrickson.
|Gaye Herkenhoff Dwyre accepts the award on behalf of her uncle Earl Herkenhoff, Class of 1936.
|John Dowdle, Class of 1960, accepts the Distinguished Service Award from Paul Shoemaker, president of the Alumni Association. At center is Dr. Lopez.
|Richard Chamberlin of the Bureau of Geology accepts the award on behalf of Ted Wilton.
The Student Association honored Dr. Jeff Altig of the Chemistry Department faculty, Dr. Dan Walsh of the Research Office and student Alex Plonczak.
The Graduate Student Association honored university President Dr. Daniel H. Lopez and students Mike Herman and Shasta Marrero.
The Alumni Association honored Tech graduates Earl Herkenhoff, Ted Wilton and John Dowdle.
Alex Plonczak
Plonczak's interest and dedication to serving the student body at New Mexico Tech has been exemplary.
Plonczak serves as a Student Association Senator and was elected President Pro Tem. He has also held the position of public relations committee chair. This semester, he also took the position of Assistant Student Activities Officer, where he helped organize numerous activities for the students, including planning and organizing Spring Fling activities.
During his sophomore year, Plonczak served as a Resident Assistant in South Hall where he helped establish the first chapter of Greek life on the Tech Campus, the Kappa Sigma fraternity.
Plonczak has served as an officer for the Kappa Sigma Pi Tau Chapter and he has volunteered for school and community events, including many food drives and fundraisers that benefit the Socorro community. His initiative paved the way for the establishment of a second Greek chapter – the Alpha Sigma Kappa Sorority. For the new Sorority, he co-coordinated seminars on a variety of topics, such as conflict resolution.
Shortly after graduation, the team will travel to Illinois where they will participate in an international, collegiate competition.
Last year, he represented the American Society of Mechanical Engineers club at the HENAAC conference in Long Beach, California. He earned a third place trophy in College Bowl X. Plonczak also recently had his first paper published. Alex also works part time at EMRTC.
Dr. Dan Walsh
Associate Vice President of Research Dr. Dan Walsh has been an advisor and mentor to the students involved in the new fraternity on campus, Kappa Sigma. In presenting the award, Student Association President Joaquin Roibal has taken numerous students under his wing and provided reassurance, guidance and friendship. Walsh always goes out of his way to help students find campus employment, particularly at EMRTC and its subsidiaries.
Walsh is one of the friendliest and most genuine people you will meet anywhere. He truly cares about people, but especially students. He always listens, is an engaging person and has a great sense of humor. He is an excellent role model for all students on campus.
Dr. Jeff Altig
Dr. Jeff Altig came to New Mexico Tech in 2006 as a visiting professor and joined the Chemistry Department faculty in 2007. In his short time at New Mexico Tech, Dr. Jeff Altig has made a mark in the lives of students, in the lab and in the chemistry department.
Altig has earned the respect and adoration of the student body.
Virtually every student spends time in Altig's lab and everyone knows him. Two years ago, Dr. Altig won the Distinguished Faculty Award. Students submitted nominations in record numbers, praising Dr. Altig for being an excellent instructor, an accessible mentor and an all-around good guy.
Chemistry students know that they can often find Dr. Altig in his office late into the evening, where he is willing to guide students in their chemistry work.
Dr. Daniel Lopez
Sarah Hendrickson, president of the GSA, said that the organization found itself in a financial mess in the fall fo 2010.
"Frankly, we needed a bailout plan and since the feds were not about to help us out, Dr. Lopez stepped in,"she said. "He was able to find institute funding to get the GSA back on track…and for that, we are truly grateful. Thank you Dr. Lopez.
Mike Herman
Mike Herman is a doctoral student in Atmospheric Physics and has served as GSA Travel Grants Officer. In addition to his graduate studies, Herman has done an amazing job of coordinating travel and distributing funds to students to attend conferences, symposia, and other academic and professional events.
Herman has also worked on our website, answered emails and, in general always gone above and beyond the call of duty.
Herman is stepping down as Travel grants Officer for the best of reasons: he and his wife, Saska, are expecting their first child in July and will no doubt have their hand full. He has actively recruited his own replacement to make the transition as smooth as possible.
Shasta Marerro
Shasta Marerro, a PhD student in geology, has played a pivotal role in the GSA since 2005, including two years as President from 2007-2009.
"Shasta has devoted countless hours of her time to GSA business including training incoming officers," Hendrickson said. "She has been an excellent leader and the brains behind the operation. She is, for lack of a better title, the 'GSA guru'."
Up until she stepped down, Marrero did virtually everything that needed to be done to keep the GSA thriving and active.
"When I took over in January of this year, Marrero took, and still takes, the time to mentor me and pass on her vast knowledge of the GSA and how to lead a successful organization," Hendrickson said.
Earl Herkenhoff
The first Distinguished Service Award from the Alumni Association was given post-humously to 1936 graduate Earl Herkenhoff. Accepting on behalf of his family and estate was Gaye Herkenhoff Dwyre.
Born in Socorro in 1915, Earl Herkenhoff literally grew up at New Mexico Tech. His family lived in the basement of Driscoll Hall for many years. His mother, Lillian, was the matriarch of the family and longtime employee at New Mexico Tech.
Earl Herkenhoff earned a degree in mining in 1936 and went on to establish an international reputation as a mining and metallurgical expert. He was a consultant in strategic metal deposits in many countries and his experience garnered him opportunities to work for the U.S. State Department and international corporations. He was a prolific inventor and researcher; he registered 15 patents related to mining operations and published numerous professional papers. In 1990, he received the Distinguished Alumnus Award from New Mexico Tech.
When he passed away in 2002, Mr. Herkenhoff's ashes were scattered over 'M' Mountain.
Before his passing, Earl established the Herkenhoff Endowment Fund, which provides direct support to the university's Mineral Engineering Department. Since 2002, the Endowment has been extremely generous to New Mexico Tech, contributing more than $1.4 million to the Mineral Engineering Department.
John Dowdle
The second recipient of the Distinguished Service Award was John Dowdle from the Class of 1960.
A native of Deming, New Mexico, Dowdle was valedictorian of his high school class, then earned a bachelor's with highest honors in mathematics at Tech. After a one-year NSF fellowship at the University of North Carolina, John received another fellowship to study economics at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh.
Dowdle returned to his native New Mexico to start his career at Mountain States Telephone Company. After four years of climbing the ranks, John accepted a position with Booz, Allen & Hamilton in Dallas. After only four years in Dallas, John transferred to Chicago and become a vice president. Over the next 20 years, John made impressive accomplishments and worked for Booz Allen in the Middle East, Buenos Aires, Mexico City and back to Dallas. He also served two terms on the company's board of directors.
John retired from the company in 1998, but he didn't quit working. He joined Day & Zimmerman as president of the transportation construction division. After a second retirement in 2003, John started NODO Services, his own management consulting firm.
Throughout his career, John has always stayed involved in civic groups, professional organizations and New Mexico Tech activities. Last year, he organized the Class of 1960 reunion and was a guest speaker for the Management Department lecture series. He was president of the Santa Fez Shrine Club and a director of the Santa Fe Rotary Club. He also volunteers for Tax Aide, an AARP program to assist low-income senior citizens.
Ted Wilton
The Distinguished Achievement Award for 2011 goes to Dean "Ted" Wilton, who earned a bachelor's in geology in 1970. Wilton could not attend graduation. Accepting on his behalf was Richard Chamberlin of the Bureau of Geology.
Since graduating from Tech, he has made quite a name for himself in the gold mining industry. Just last December, Ted was named the vice president of exploration for the Victoria Gold Corp. in Elko, Nevada.
Wilton has managed exploration programs, which have led to numerous significant gold discoveries, and much of his work has been focused on geology in Nevada. He also has extensive experience in the Yukon.
Wilton has been involved in exploration, pre-development and development programs and mine geology, including working as district exploration manager. He also worked for Kinross Gold Corp. as a group chief geologist responsible in Alaska and in Western Australia.

Year One Labs
We're a startup accelerator. We're going to launch ten new companies, from scratch, in one year. Hence the name.
These companies we launch will focus on web and mobile applications. And we're going to do it the old-fashioned way: by building the right thing for the right market at the right time.
- Bring-your-own-beer over wine and cheese
- T-shirt and jeans over vest and trendy shoes
- Money-in-the-bank over word-of-mouth
- Sweat and effort over serendipity
- Getting out of the office over spending time honing the perfect product
- Listening over talking
- Results over activity
- Doing over planning
We're a team of four entrepreneurs who've built, and currently run, companies. We need to create a place where smart, hungry founders can learn and build things. And we need to make it clear that we're being efficient with the money we give them, and very hands on.
We believe strongly in the Lean Startup methodology, which is a way of building new companies carefully, based on lots of customer interaction. If you want to see similar organizations, check out YCombinator, or Betaworks, or Extreme Labs.
We have three target audiences, really.
First, we're targeting founders who want to spend a year working with us to launch their companies. These are generally geeky twenty-to-thirtysomethings with an entrepreneurial bent. They're looking for access to some funding, but working fast and hard with smart people is more important to them. They want to roll up their sleeves and get to work.
Second, we want investors to see us as an organization that's working smart, with no frills, to build great companies the old-fashioned way. That means less fluff: we're not about swooshes and names with the wrong number of vowels; instead, we're about finding the right product for the right market, and building it efficiently.
Third, we want potential partners to see us as approachable and no-nonsense.
The logo will be used for websites, print collateral, and perhaps stickers and shirts. If you use gradients, we may have to change the colors for embroidery or to make the logo legible in faxes.
Try to avoid "cliché" logo approaches (swooshes and all that crap.) The name implies a year of time, a lab environment (experimentation, hands-on) and the launch or beginning of something.
The logo should include the words, and if you have suggestions for the formatting of a tagline, we'd love to see it (i.e. if you want to put in a text string and suggest font, weight, and color, that would rock.)
We own both the year1labs and yearonelabs domains, so either format is okay; but it should be clear that there are three words in the name, and we somewhat prefer the spelled out version ("year one labs").

Ride the Lightning (1984)
Master of Puppets (1986)
…and Justice for All (1988)
Garage Inc. (1998)
Hardwired… to Self‐Destruct (2016)
Metallica is an American heavy metal band from Los Angeles, California. The band was formed in 1981 by drummer Lars Ulrich and vocalist/guitarist James Hetfield. The band's fast tempos, instrumentals and aggressive musicianship made them one of the founding "big four" bands of thrash metal, alongside Megadeth, Anthrax and Slayer. Metallica's current lineup comprises founding members Hetfield and Ulrich, longtime lead guitarist Kirk Hammett and bassist Robert Trujillo. Guitarist Dave Mustaine (who formed Megadeth) and bassists Ron McGovney, Cliff Burton and Jason Newsted are former members of the band.
Metallica earned a growing fan base in the underground music community and won critical acclaim with its first five albums. The band's third album, Master of Puppets (1986), was described as one of the heaviest and most influential thrash metal albums, and its eponymous fifth album, Metallica (1991), appealed to a more mainstream audience, achieving substantial commercial success and selling over 16 million copies in the United States to date, making it the best-selling album of the SoundScan era. In 2000, Metallica joined with other artists who filed a lawsuit against Napster for sharing the band's copyright-protected material without consent; a settlement was reached and Napster became a pay-to-use service. In 2009, Metallica was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Metallica has released ten studio albums, four live albums, a cover album, five extended plays, 39 music videos, and 37 singles. The band has won nine Grammy Awards and its last six studio albums have consecutively debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. Metallica ranks as one of the most commercially successful bands of all time, having sold over 120 million records worldwide. Metallica has been listed as one of the greatest artists of all time by magazines such as Rolling Stone, which ranked them at no. 61 on its 100 Greatest Artists of All Time list. As of 2017, Metallica is the third best-selling music artist since Nielsen SoundScan began tracking sales in 1991, selling a total of 58 million albums in the United States.

well, i'm sure many of you have heard about this tragedy. Punkbuster stopped support for cod4.
Most of us have had cod4 installed for a long time and won't directly notice it, but for fresh installs it's problematic. They can't get the right punkbuster files to play on our or many of the other punkbuster protected servers out there. So to accomodate all those fresh (or reinstalling) cod4 players, here is a solution:
1] install punkbuster as usual
2] update punkbuster as usual
3] download these punkbuster files for cod4: http://www.mediafire.com/download/l34pj ... me1/pb.rar
4] copy the "pb" folder from the archive into your cod4 folder, overwriting the old one (if there).
5] you should be able to enjoy the game now.
typically your cod4 folder will be located at one of these paths:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare (default for 64bit windows)
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare (default for 64bit Steam)
C:\Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare (default for 32bit windows)
C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare (default for 32bit Steam)

Five Lehigh Valley students chosen for Faces of Penn State campaign
Five Lehigh Valley students chosen for Faces of Penn State campaign
CENTER VALLEY, Pa. – Five Lehigh Valley campus students have joined the roughly 60 "faces" already named as part of the University's Faces of Penn State campaign. Mandy Marquardt, Patrick Hullihen, Digisha Patel, Jessica Raad and Anthony Toczek have contributed to improving the world through their inspiring research and worldwide reach.
In September 2012, the University launched a campaign to celebrate members of the Penn State community that embody Penn State's values of teaching, research and service. They are students, faculty, staff, administrators, alumni and local community members whose collective accomplishments and achievements better their communities and the world.
Mandy Marquardt, a junior, is recognized in the category of "Worldwide Reach" for her dedication to raising awareness about diabetes. A standout member of the Penn State Lehigh Valley Cycling Team, Mandy also races for Team Novo Nordisk, which is comprised of athletes living with Type 1 diabetes. In addition to being a world-class cycling program, Team Novo Nordisk is committed to changing the lives of those living with diabetes through athletics, research, outreach and philanthropic initiatives. One such initiative took Mandy and her teammates to Rwanda to deliver thousands of diabetes test strips and hundreds of blood glucose meters to the Rwandan people, who still struggle after the horrific genocide that took place there in 1994.
The four other students recognized are also concerned with affecting the future of people's health but are donning lab coats instead of bicycle helmets to do so. Last year, Patrick Hullihen, Digisha Patel, Jessica Raad and Anthony Toczek asked their biology professor, Jacqueline McLaughlin, if they could perform research on a line of human leukemia cancer cells. The students, who have dubbed themselves "Team K562," a reference to the name of the cells they are researching, are studying the ability of select drugs to not only halt the proliferation of the leukemic cells but to induce red blood cell maturation. Team K562, who will be recognized in the category of "Inspiring Research," has continued to pursue research on this cell line despite three of the members having transferred to University Park to continue their degrees.
We congratulate these outstanding students for achieving this well-deserved recognition. To view their profiles, visit www.faces.psu.edu.

The women's fencing team tapped the Vassar Brewers on Saturday, losing only three of 27 bouts en route to a 24-3 victory. The Bulldogs also unhorsed the Scarlet Knights of Rutgers by a score of 18-9. Alisa Mendelsohn, Diana Schawlowski, and Erin Frey were all 6-0 on the afternoon.
In epee, Yale lost to Rutgers 5-4, but rebounded to take the weapon 7-2 against Vassar thanks in large part to Isadora Botwinick's 3-0 performance. Botwinick finished 4-2, Tejas Srinivas went 3-3, and Anne Nguyen ended up 4-2 between the two matches.
The Bulldogs pulled out a 5-4 win against Rutgers in the sabre, with Frey accounting for 3 of those critical victories. She came out unscathed against Vassar as well, though the score was not nearly as close at 8-1. On the afternoon, Carly Guss went 3-2 and Genevieve Tauxe was 3-3, with Umi-shakti Ausar-Sahu subbing in for a single victory.
Yale was truly unstoppable with the foil on Saturday, going an incredible 18-0 between the two matches. Mendelsohn and Schawlowski posted six wins a piece, with freshman Jennifer Cohen and sophomore Jessica Dobbins contributing four and two wins respectively.
The Bulldogs competed at the NYU Invitational on Sunday and next see action this weekend against Sacred Heart and Tufts at the Payne Whitney Gym.

WASHINGTON — The U-2 spy plane outlasted the Cold War, outlived its successor and proved crucial a half-century ago when two superpowers were on the brink of nuclear war.
But defense cuts now threaten to knock the high-flying reconnaissance aircraft out of the sky.
The Air Force wants to gradually retire the fleet of 32 "Dragon Lady" planes, which can soar to an altitude of 70,000 feet, collect intelligence on North Korea and Russia and rapidly send the data to U.S. commanders. That's a critical capability, given North Korea's unpredictable leader, Kim Jong Un, and Russia's emboldened president, Vladimir Putin.
The Air Force says the unmanned aerial vehicle Global Hawk can do the job, and in an era of smaller, deficit-driven budgets, the Pentagon cannot afford both the plane and the drone.
Skeptical lawmakers have challenged the Air Force's proposal to ground the resilient U-2, the long-winged, all-weather manned aircraft with sensors and cameras. Called "Angel" at its inception because it could fly so high, the U-2 has been in operation since 1955 and provided the evidence of Soviet missiles in Cuba in 1962, helping to avert a nuclear war.
As Congress begins work next week in writing the defense policy bill, lawmakers will weigh the Air Force proposal and whether to take initial steps to save some of the planes. Any move would require a trade-off as lawmakers work within budget limits. Proponents of the plane recently got a strong endorsement from the top commander in South Korea.
Pressed by Sen. Angus King, I-Maine, about potential gaps with the retirement of the U-2, Army Gen. Curtis Scaparrotti told the Senate Armed Services Committee last month that while he understands the budget requirements, "the U-2 provides some unique capability that at least presently the Global Hawk won't provide, and it will be a loss in intelligence that's very important to our indicators and warnings."
The chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, Rep. Howard "Buck" McKeon, R-Calif., said he was concerned about the fate of the U-2, especially in light of the fast-growing population in Seoul pushing close to the border and millions "all within range of North Korean artillery."
Scaparrotti said the plane "gives him the ability to look deep into Korea and the U-2 ... is very important to him," McKeon recently told reporters.
The Air Force is proposing spending $598 million on the U-2 in the 2015 budget and then phasing out the aircraft, a reversal from two years ago when the plane won out over the drone. The proposed budget would invest $1.77 billion through 2023 in modernizing a version of the Northrop-Grumman-built Global Hawk with additional sensors and other updates.
"The operating costs on the Global Hawk Block 30 have come down," Pentagon Comptroller Robert Hale told reporters last month. "It was always a close call. Now it comes down in favor of the Global Hawk. We'll keep them and gradually retire the U-2s."
The Lockheed Martin-built aircraft is long associated with the decades of U.S-Soviet rivalry.
In 1960, Francis Gary Powers was piloting a U-2 when he was shot down over the Soviet Union and captured. Data collected from planes that penetrated the Soviet Union before the shoot down provided unique information to the Eisenhower administration, undercutting claims of Soviet strength while providing details on the Soviet's nuclear program.
Last August, the National Security Archive at George Washington University released numerous CIA documents obtained through the Freedom of Information Act that described the significance of the U-2 program and trace its history.
In a May 28, 1960 memo, Allen Dulles, then the director of Central Intelligence, wrote that before the U-2, the United States was faced "with the constant risk of exposing ourselves to enemy attack or of needlessly expending a great deal of money and effort on misdirected military preparations of our own."
The U-2, Dulles wrote, provided a vast amount of information on Soviet bombers, air defenses, missiles and atomic energy.
Chris Pocock, a British author who has written several books on the U-2, said the plane is still perceived as a "Cold War warrior," but with a relatively new airframe and other modern technology, it's a very different aircraft. It survived and operated even after its successor, the SR71, was retired.
"The U-2 today is more a tactical intelligence gatherer," Pocock said in an interview. "It supports ground operations on a daily basis, flying over Afghanistan, flying around Korea, flying in the eastern Mediterranean, doing all those things every day and it's actually not only providing intelligence that is analyzed for the benefit of those ground troops, but it's actually in contact with those ground troops in real time."
The aircraft is based at Beale Air Force Base in the district of Rep. John Garamendi, D-Calif., a member of the House Armed Services Committee. Other planes are based in Guam and at classified locations in Europe and in support of operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Within the industry, there is speculation that the Air Force is willing to retire the U-2 because it has a secret program developing another high-altitude intelligence gathering aircraft. Pocock said that plane doesn't appear to be operational yet.
"If and when it is ready it may only be available in small numbers for very, very specific high priority missions," he said.
Two years ago, Congress balked at Air Force efforts to retire a version of the Global Hawk, shifting money in the budget and keeping the program alive. Retired Air Force Lt. Gen. Dave Deptula said this only complicates Pentagon efforts to decide what weapons stay or go.
"Who's best informed? That's one of the challenges here. This is not just about U-2 and Global Hawk. This is about quite frankly, resource allocation and priorities that Congress is in the middle of and at the heart of," Deptula said.

The Grain Lager - especially brewed for Grain Bar - is a lighter and paler refreshing beer and would be my preference on a hot day.

These relaxed looking crustaceans lay cooked and whole across a plate with a neat pile of pink salt flakes, lemon and burnett leaf dotted zingy yoghurt.
|Red claw yabbies with burnett yoghurt
While a squeeze of lemon and a few flakes of salt were all that was really needed, the yoghurt dipping sauce gave the yabbies a sense of refinement and completeness.
|Our lardo on toast, black and white garlic, spring pollen
The toasted Sonoma miche loaf was divine, while the garlic and melt-on-the-tongue sheets of opaque fat are made for each other, if unexpectedly.
|Old man's fried salt bush
A native Australian plant, the salt bush is fried with the stem in a ridiculously tasty and salty batter (more beer, please), with the leaves picked off for eating.
Served with aioli, the fried salt bush seems to have quickly become a signature dish, but one that also appears at Bar H in a slightly different guise.
|Grain Burger and fries - pulled beef short rib, radish, onions and sorrel
With much admiration for the pickled radish slices, thick cheddar cheese slice and wealth of health in the salad, I'm not sure the Grain Burger suits slow, delicate eaters like me who probably have to resort to the burger crime of cutlery.
Special mention goes to the stunning range of crockery on which the dishes are served: asymmetrical yet natural, and strongly desired for my kitchen cabinets.
Media Soiree
I'd been alerted to the opening of Grain Bar a few weeks back by, among other channels, a media gathering in the bar's second week.
|Pink Lady cocktail
The applejack and sloe gin Pink Lady is a pretty fizz with pomegranate syrup lending the pink hue.
|Potato crackling
|Steamed brioche and smoked trout roe
Every bite was an explosion of salty, smoky, fish egg goodness, all smoothed over and kept together with creme fraiche.
|Clair de Lune oysters by Steve Feletti
|Wild kingfish tartare, pickled beetroots and seaweed crackers
|Herbed ricotta, new season broad beans, charred flatbread
The wedge of charred flatbread suffices as an eating tool but a spoon certainly would help the fresh, green flavours along.
|Ice bar by night
|Mini pavlova with muntrie berry
The sweet stewed muntrie berries with rosemary flowers was a not-too-sweet delight.

Niland will also head up the kitchen at the new Four Seasons Hotel restaurant (formerly Kable's), which is currently undergoing refurbishment to be ready in November.

A Tribe Called Red is a DJ crew out of Ottawa, Canada producing a unique sound that fuses traditional pow wow drums and vocals with cutting-edge electronic music.
The group recently visited Tucson, where they provided the soundtrack for the All Souls Procession's grand finale on Sunday, Nov. 3.
Ehren Thomas, also known as DJ Bear Witness, said the group was excited to be a part of such an integral part of the this city.
"It's been really interesting hearing about (the All Souls Procession) before we came, and then getting here and learning about how it started and seeing how the whole community has embraced it…we (were) really excited to be a part of it," he said.
Ian Campeau, who goes by DJ NDN, said the group's combination of musical styles and cultures came naturally to the members of the group.
"All we really did is mash-up dance music with pow wow," he explained. "...pow wow music is made for specific dances and specific regalia."
Thomas said the music of A Tribe Called Red grew out of the contemporary aboriginal culture of Ottawa, and the overriding message is one of self-representation.
"It goes against the long misrepresentation of aboriginal people in the media, and it goes back to portraiture painting and photography," said Thomas. "We want to represent our people and our community the way we want to be seen."

Blackfoot wrote:What would it take to trade for Kevin Love? Obviously we'd have to move Lee somehow, which makes it difficult. But since lee is a top 15 offensive player someone would want him.
He's a top 7-8 player (interchangeable with Harden.)
We'd probably be a 4th to 5th seed with Kevin Love, maybe three depending on how the rest of the off season went.
I've said before that Love is more gettable now then ever, not only due to his injuries this season and showing displeasure with the Minnesota direction, but Lee's increased level of play at allstar level. I think either Lee and Rush for Love or Green or Lee, Landry and Rush or Green for Love and DWilliams could be done.
Love next to Bogut would be a great duo, rebounding and amazing smarts. Love is a superstar and DWilliams is close to the end of his contract, with a team option after next season, so he'd have to play to play to his high draft pick potential to get any type of good contract from anyone, as he has been a major disappointment so far.

Have been kiting a couple of winters with foils, but I'm starting to wonder about trying my tubes, because of the sheeting possibilities.
How DO you pump up a tube in cold weather - is there some trick to it? How does the performance of tubes compare with foils in winter kiting?

Panfilio infuses Renaissance Theaterworks' 'Rita' with hopeful humor
In the opening scene of "Educating Rita," Willy Russell's bittersweet play about a 26-year-old hairdresser trying to start over and the alcoholic literature professor assigned to help her, Rita bounds into Frank's book-lined study for her first lesson.
Her attention is immediately drawn to an ostensibly chaste but erotically charged portrait on the wall, and within the blink of an eye she has offered a bawdy, original and wide-ranging interpretation of how that portrait works. Admitting he hasn't looked at it in years, the best Frank can manage is the bland assessment that it's "beautiful."
In the smart and well-acted Renaissance Theaterworks production of "Rita" that opened Saturday under Jenny Wanasek's direction, Cristina Panfilio and Jonathan Smoots use early vignettes like this one to set the tone - driving home the contrast between Rita's spirited will to live and Frank's self-imposed and self-pitying death watch.
Less fleshy and more elfin than previous Ritas I've seen, Panfilio looks as "hungry" to learn and live as Rita later tells us she is. Determined to get on, this Rita moves almost as much as she talks, restlessly covering every inch of Frank's study in an effort to convince him - and herself - that she has a right to be there.
To crib from Frank's assessment of Rita's written work, the result is a Rita who is honest without being sentimental.
Rita may be insecure; Panfilio's deliberately jaunty body language inadvertently telegraphs Rita's fear that she doesn't belong. But as was true in her memorable turn as Viola in American Players Theatre's recent production of "Twelfth Night," Panfilio gives us a character whose quick mind leaves no doubt that however lost Rita may feel, she is the beacon in this darkening world.
Panfilio's lighter, less fraught approach pays huge dividends. It lets the play's considerable humor breathe; this is the funniest "Rita" I've seen. It leaves ample room for Rita's unbridled enthusiasm; Panfilio's Rita could make anyone fall in love with Shakespeare. And it gives Rita the strength she needs to take on the daunting task of redeeming Frank.
Smoots' masterfully understated performance - in which a droll tone masks Frank's quiet desperation and intense self-loathing - leaves one wondering whether such a resurrection is possible. Not for nothing does Frank compare himself to Dracula - with his airless, booze-filled study serving as a tomb.
A failed poet, Frank fell out of love with literature and life a long time ago. While he has plowed through a lot of books, he doesn't read them well, substituting tired convention for fresh thought.
But Smoots lets us see that Frank is still sufficiently alive to appreciate what he rightly calls Rita's "uniqueness," even as he worries that the conventional education she craves will stifle her as it has him.
Despite its upbeat and open ending, Russell's script certainly justifies Frank's concern. But Panfilio's charismatic Rita leaves us with reason for hope - while reminding us that it's hard to keep a good woman down.
"Educating Rita" continues through Feb. 10 at the Broadway Studio Theatre, 158 N. Broadway. For tickets, call (414) 291-7800 or visit online atwww.r-t-w.com
