We get that smartphones can be inconvenient and annoying.
But "emasculating"?
That's what Google cofounder Sergey Brin said Wednesday in a presentation at TED, a technology conference in Long Beach, Calif., CNET reports.
He was making the case for Google Glass, Google's Internet-connected headset, which can snap photos, record video, and display information on demand.
"You're just rubbing a featureless piece of glass," Brin said.
We think Brin made a tragically poor choice of words here, for which he should apologize at the next available opportunity.
"Alienating" would have been fine.
It's true that smartphones require you to look down at a small screen, cutting you off from the world around you.
But "emasculating" suggests that Google Glass is somehow a more "manly" piece of technology, which is just wrong, and off-key—especially when Google's industrial-design team has done such fine work to create a good-looking gadget that can and should appeal to men and women equally.
With Brin doing smart things to promote Google Glass to consumers, like showing up at the Vanity Fair Oscars party wearing the headset—you know, like it's totally not a big deal—it's a shame he's not watching his words a little more carefully.
In related news, Brin recently wore a Lululemon athletic top to the announcement of a biotech prize in San Francisco.
It went perfectly with his Google Glass headset.

Request protection or unprotection here.
I request unprotection due to the fact that this is a free wiki and should express the (correct) opinion of the people. I also disagree with protecting this due to anyone can register, so what's the point. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Harry Potter Fantic 1 (talk • contribs).
- What do you want unprotected? Also, this wiki isn't for expressing opinions (which, by the way, can neither be "correct" nor "incorrect"). John Reaves (talk) 02:14, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
Ya, I don't get why you can't edit it because you can just log in and then edit it, and like John Reaves said it's a free wiki, so you should get to edit anyone you want.:) :) :) could you please unprotect it, i think that anyone with good information about a wiki should beable to edit it and put down there info..... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ancientwolf01 (talk • contribs).
- What page are you referring to? -- Seth Cooper owl post! 00:05, September 28, 2009 (UTC)
Quick Question, It says for Semi-Protected pages, that new users cannot edit them. How long do you need to be a user to edit those certain pages?

I see there are many pages that are major pages that are prone to vandalism, and they are indefinable. I was just wondering, of every page, why aren't the trio's pages protected? -- Ratneer Owl Me! 03:48, January 6, 2010 (UTC)
I feel that they should not be protected, as there are some inconsistencies that need to be review. E.G. In Harry's article, in some places Ron's full name Ronald is used and at others his more famous nickname is used. This maybe confusing to newcomers to the fandom who have only recently or not at all read or watched the books or films, especially those who don't know what kind of a nickname a byname is. Also, in some articles, the film version is the primary source of information, and the difference between it and the books is not stated. Since the films are adaptations of the books, the books should be naturally treated as the primary source, with any difference between the book and film being noted when needed. Thus, I feel that this page should be unprotected if required, as there might be errors like these in Harry's dad's page too. PS, I think that this page's title should be changed to James Potter, while his grandson's should be changed to James Sirius Potter, as he and his other siblings are better known by their complete names. Arijeet Patil (talk) 06:04, July 2, 2017 (UTC)
Please let the community add to this wealth of knowledge.
There are more facts here than any one person could produce I feel that there could be more knowledge to be shared and restricting the flow and sharing of information as such is counterproductive to the main cause of this website. For instance there are several unanswered questions that have been addressed on different articles that i feel that i could personally shed some light on. I am sure that many other people feel the same way. Please allow us our freedom on sharing information (not opinions). Atleast have the additions or corrections be submitted to the admins for review before publication. This is the information age, let us use it to our advantage.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Beaten.loads.of.times (talk • contribs).
- Well, once you have 20 regular article edits you will be able to share what ever "information" you like on protected pages. So you don't have very much to do before adding this "information."--L.V.K.T.V.J.(Send an owl!) 18:57, March 21, 2010 (UTC)

What is the point of protecting this page? Besides what about the picture of Richard Harris as Dumbldore? he was important during 2001 and 2002. He is missed by a lot of Fans. And I would advise that two pictures of Dumbldore one of each actor one Richard Harris and the other of the other actor!!!! I am very angry that theres no picture of Richard Harris as Dumbldore in the Beginning of the article and a picture of the new actor for Dumbldore as Well!! I forget who. But that is not my point. My point is Richard Harris Deserves credit too!! That's insulting his memory!!!

- Hello! Please unprotect the Ginny page. There is a bunch of information in there that is completely unfounded. For instance, in the article about what she looks like, an editor wrote that she had brown lips and no acne. Where did they get that information? It also says that Dean Thomas's favorite thing about her was that she was a good kisser. That's rubbish. It wasn't stated in any of the books. It is ridiculous that these pages can only be edited by certain people. Just because they've been users for longer does NOT mean that they know more about Harry Potter than we do. Thanks for reading.6684lillian 18:54, April 24, 2011 (UTC)
What's the point of being a member if you can't edit whatever you want?????????? Loony
- It looks like you made your account a little over an hour ago. So, Welcome to the Harry Potter Wiki! According to information higher on this page, you have to be an Autoconfirmed member (which automatically happens four days after you create your account), and you also have to have made 20 constructive edits before you can edit a semi-protected page. If you want to edit a fully protected page (something that has been locked so that only admins can edit it), you are welcome to bring it up in the talk page, adding a detailed description of what you want changed. An admin is likely to see it and make the change for you. Hope this helps The Knights Who Say Ni 21:58, January 20, 2011 (UTC)

protecting pages
How do you expect this wiki to get edits when well over half the pages I've seen are semi-protected or protected. I believe that no person should be restricted to editing a small percentage of the pages of this wiki. Out of at least a hundred wikis that I have seen, none have even thought of this. So lets get down to the bottom of this: why do you protect a majority of the pages on this wiki (I am thinking you are trying to force people to register)? In a free wiki everyone can edit freely without creating an account or paying a fee. This wiki is not a free wiki. Definitely not. If you are convinced by my argument remove all the protection on any page in this wiki. Then this wiki is a free wiki where anyone, regardless of anything, can share share their knowledge AND edit freely. Jacob 18.104.22.168 23:35, February 21, 2011 (UTC)
- I'd estimate the actual number of articles with protection on them at around two dozen, maybe three tops (not counting templates). That's two or three dozen, out of almost eight-thousand pages on this wiki. Such protection is usually placed because either those pages have been repeatedly vandalized, or inexperienced users continually make unhelpful edits. For example, I've lost count of how many times Hufflepuff-related articles have had the bit about "particularly good finders" added to them, or how many times the "James Potter was Chaser/Seeker" debate has come up. In most cases, such protection is a temporary measure, but even when it's added indefinitely, registered users can still edit those pages. It takes all of about five minutes to set up an account, and there is no fee. - Nick O'Demus 11:19, February 22, 2011 (UTC)

- Lucius never gets far, Dobby yells, "You shall not hurt Harry Potter!" and causes Lucius to fly backwards down some stairs. He mutters, "avada" and then is attacked.
I think we should be unprotected, because we joined this wiki so that we could contribute to it, and if we can't contribute, then why did we join?

Voldemort page
Can you remove my training wheels early, please?
May I edit the Voldemort page? It's a great article that just needs a bit of minor tweaking. For example, in the Nagini section, I would change:
That same year, Voldemort made Nagini a Horcrux with the murder of Bertha Jorkins.
That same year, Voldemort made Nagini into a Horcrux with the murder of Bertha Jorkins.
. . . because it's a reader stumble in its present form. The fast reader goes, "What? Why would she need one?" Backtracks. "Oh, yeah, it's Nagini who's becoming Mouldy Voldy's horcrux. I get it." For want of a word and all that. Then I noticed some stray commas, obviously left over from incomplete edits. A place where the word expressed should replace inherited. (Harry's deliberately modeling Dumbledore's behavior by not saying You-Know-Who; inherited implies unconscious behavior.) Like that. I'm afraid if I have to wait out a probation for days, I won't come back to the page for months. Or weeks, at least, until after the movie comes out. I'll get lost in the Forest of Dean—or, worse, the Forbidden Forest, and since I'm short with brown hair, and a Southerner (slow of speech), that's dangerous.
I promise that I know what I'm doing. (Well, with editing the English language, anyway. The logistics of the site are another matter, as are tasks like embedding a link properly.) Do you have a style guide? If not, would you like one?
~~Cheers and ta, Rambo
I want to add Bellatrix Lestrange as a paternal aunt in the "Family Members" list for the "Scorpius Malfoy" entry, could you unprotect it?
please unprotect this page for ginny weasley. i am a massive fan and i would really like to contribute
No offence, but Bellatrix is actually Scorpius's paternal great aunt, as his dad Draco was her nephew. Arijeet Patil (talk) 06:38, July 2, 2017 (UTC)
Request for Unprotection (Voldemort Etymology)
I would request unprotection of the etymology section of the Voldemort article, because previous authors have neglected to reflect on the secondary meaning of the French word "vol" which adds another dimension to his name. If I will not be allowed to edit it, I'd appreciate talking to someone who can edit it, so they might add some information I've gathered. --ajmurphyspence
This page won't get any edits if it's all protected. Just because we are 'new users' it doesn't mean we don't have as good, if not better, ideas than the older users. So why not unprotect this site and patrol it for spam. Everything we do seems to be edited by one of you snooty 'older users.' No offence, but your like Percy waving his Prefect badge around to show who's in charge. But you haven't made an improvement.
- Articles that are protected are done so for a reason, usually if they are the target of edit wars or vandalism. Only a few articles are fully protected. Those articles that are semi-protected will be editable by new users four days are registering their account once their account becomes auto-confirmed. Also, please sign all edits on talk pages and forums with four tildes like so: ~~~~ - Cavalier One(Wizarding Wireless Network) 11:54, August 25, 2011 (UTC)
I request that the Ginevra Weasley page either be Fixed, white page, Black text, normal blue links, or unprotect it so someone, whos probably annoyed at it also, could fix it. Thats my only real complaint or request.
It is a free wiki and there are lots of details that people miss. You need to understand that you aren't perfect, you can't be great all the time, so I heartedly request that you make this topic undisabled for editing.

- While I don't have the authority to protect or unprotect pages, I will say that asking to have a page unprotected when you have recently inserted incorrect information onto a page several times, clearly ignoring a warning on your talk page regarding this, is probably a futile action. -- 1337star (Owl Post) 00:09, February 22, 2012 (UTC)
On the James Potter (Harry's father's) page it says that he was a Gryffindor chaser, but he was a seeker. Being a new member I can't change it. How long will it be before I can?
184.108.40.206 23:27, March 10, 2012 (UTC)
- Well, considering you're an anon IP and don't actually have an account (at least not currently), you can't. If you do decide to make an account, according to a comment further up the page, it's 4 days after account creation, but that might have changed since then. In any case, James being a Chaser is correct (as little sense as it makes), Rowling says so here. -- 1337star (Owl Post) 23:34, March 10, 2012 (UTC)
Please either unprotect Nagini's page or correct the following point:
Some people criticise Rowling for the fact that Harry's wounds from Nagini in Deathly Hallows are cured merely with Dittany, whereas Arthur Weasley was hospitalized in St Mungos for so long. However, Harry explicitly states that the snake "only wanted to keep him there", as Voldemort himself needed to kill him. Therefore Nagini has a degree of control over use of the venom, and the point made in the Wiki article is incorrect.
The article states that it is never explained why he is cured only by Dittany, when actually it is explained three sentences later or something, and it's bugging me.
Hannahbernadette (talk) 04:26, April 2, 2013 (UTC)
- I removed it entirely. If there's a reasonable explanation for why something could be the case, then it isn't an error, and shouldn't be listed at all. ProfessorTofty (talk) 05:23, April 2, 2013 (UTC)
Sexual orientation
Please allow editing to the page on sexual orientation in the wizarding world. I would like to contribute more information on a topic that has an interesting role in queer literary readings of the series, and have information on the wizarding world's view of sexuality that could be useful. Fantasy series often work on addressing identity and sexual orientation in ways the mainstream does not, and Harry Potter is no exception to this trend. I would like to expand the article to reflect this so that more LGBTQ topics as they relate to HP can be heard in an article that is sadly lacking at the moment.18.104.22.168 18:53, May 28, 2013 (UTC)Rose
- This page is unlikely to be unprotected due to the provocative nature of the topic. However, you can post your planned edits in a sandbox and then contact me when they're ready, or consider registering an account. However, I am a bit concerned that the type of edits you're suggesting may be considered original research or essay, which is not allowed here, so keep that in mind. ProfessorTofty (talk) 01:30, May 30, 2013 (UTC)
- Thank you for your feedback. I'm a little new to working on wikis, so could you explain how a sandbox on a wiki works? Also, I was not intending to create articles that were essays or original research; I was going to use sources such as the Pottercast interview (listed on the article) where JKR was asked about homosexuality and whether homophobia existed in the HP universe to update the page. My main desire was to clarify that as she says, homophobia may not be the most common form of discrimination since purebloods focus on blood purity, but to emphasize that it was possible and probably would vary from individual to individual the way it does in the Muggle world. JKR says in that interview that she thinks it's likely that homophobia is still existent.
" So I think you could be, um, gay, pure-blood, and totally without any kind of criticism from the Lucius Malfoys of the world. I don't think that would be something that would interest him in the slightest. But, you know, I can't answer for all witches and wizards because I think in matters of the heart, it would be directly parallel to our world."
- I think it's important to be open and accurate about discrimination of any kind when discussing HP settings and culture, because fantasy so often intends to create social parallels and open dialogues about current issues. Thank you once again.188.8.131.52 01:57, June 5, 2013 (UTC)Rose
- The sandbox can be found here-- you can post anything that you like there without fear of messing anything up. Even if someone else edits there, it'll still remain in the history to view. However, if it was that one point you wanted to clarify about homophobia still existing in places in the wizarding world, I'd be happy to add it. ProfessorTofty (talk) 02:32, June 5, 2013 (UTC)
Dumbledore Page

The info was in the Fantastic beasts trailer, and the script was written by Joanne K. Rowling.--Rodolphus (talk) 16:52, April 11, 2016 (UTC)
Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore
The page is about as perfect as it can get, but there are some quotes which have better counterparts in the book. Take this for example :
In the Magical Abilities and Skills section, the quote is:
- Tom Riddle: "I fashioned myself a new name, a name I knew that wizards everywhere would one day fear to speak, when I became the greatest sorcerer in the world!"
- Harry Potter: "Albus Dumbledore is the greatest sorcerer in the world!"
Which is from the Chamber of Secrets, but I believe this one from the Half Blood prince would be better suitable :
"He had known there was no hope from the moment that the full Body-Bind Curse Dumbledore had placed upon him lifted, known that it could have happened only because its caster was dead, but there was still no preparation for seeing him here, spread-eagled, broken: the greatest wizard Harry had ever, or would ever, meet."
This would make a good replacement too:
"There was no waking from his nightmare, no comforting whisper in the dark that he was safe really, that it was all in his imagination; the last and greatest of his protectors had died and he was more alone than he had ever been before."
It would be nice if someone else who can edit the page could make these changes, or allow me to do it.

New: THEATER REVIEW: 'Red Virgin' at Central Works
"To the barricades!" The epic tale of the Siege of Paris and the Paris Commune of 1870-71 is retold by Central Works in their first musical theater production, 'Red Virgin,' focusing on the figure of Louise Michel (Anna Ishida), one of the more famous of the bands of valiant women, mostly unsung, who took on a major role in the popular uprising and early attempt to govern a modern city from the bottom up.
Central Works co-founder Gary Graves' script has provided director John Patrick Moore and the cast a few indelible scenes, well-staged in the old salon of the Berkeley City Club, one in particular the funeral of slain journalist Victor Noir, a major event in political Paris just before the Franco-Prussian War, with dark figures under umbrellas, breaking ranks and moving in a circle, chanting the Dies Irae from Berlioz's Requiem. It's this flexible approach to taking songs and tunes of the time, mostly arranged by musical director Allison Lovejoy with lyrics adapted from the originals by Graves, that gives the play its greatest charm and sense of immediacy. Not long after the Dies Irae, several cast members, notably Galen Murphy-Hoffman, who cuts a fine figure as Theophile Ferré, who will become one of the Commune's principal delegates, beloved of Louise Michel, sing verses from the lyrical French popular song of that period, "The Time of Cherries," a fine, unusually carefree moment in a play about dire events, however high the characters' spirits often seem at the start.
(Of the music which is provided directly onstage, most is by accordionist-pianist-percussionist Diana Strong, who adds immeasurably to the staging just by her presence and playing, accompanied by cast members on guitars and percussion. The remarkable sound effects, the sound design, is by Central Works' genius of the boards--the boards behind the boards--Gregory Scharpen. Tammy Berlin's costumes, Gary Graves' light design, Travis Santell Rowland's choreography--especially when Louise and Theo dance the Apâche, or something very like it--all contribute mightily to a sense of place condensed into that intimate hall, a signature of Central Works, though never before in a musical.)
Besides Louise, there's her former student and fellow "bastard," orphan Clemence ( which was also a pseudonym used by Michel), played with exuberance by Juliana Lustenader. But the men, for the most part, are the better served by the script--besides Murphy-Hoffman, Kenny Toll as revolutionary leader Paul Rigaut and Josh Pollock as the Marquis de Gallifet (in a way, really a procession of the military figures of the Versailles government who brutally put down the revolt and make reprisals)--as, typical of sweeping historical representations using one figure as focal point, like in biopics, the characters are drawn a bit broadly, tending to exemplify just one mood, in Louise's case, mostly a strident defiance. (That she had a humorous side, too, is shown by a sarcastic remark she once made: "We welcome agents provocateurs to our meetings, as they tend to make the most radical motions!")
That spell is broken in a wonderful, panoramic scene, when Louise, against the taunts of the male delegates of the Commune, dresses up as her opposite, a bourgeoise "princess," and to the tune of Erik Satie's "La diva de L'Empire," cunningly marshalled into service from after the time of the Commune and adapted by Graves, she and Clémence walk the distance through the lines to Versailles, flirting with (and recruiting) soldiers, just to show they can get into the National Assembly--and close enough to "president" Thiers to assassinate him, which Louise neglects to do, though armed, as an ironic gesture to those delegates who thought it a female pipedream.
(There's also the problem of what Mort Sahl called The Shogun Effect, characters pressed into service to ask what, to them, would normally be obtuse questions, just to provoke exposition to illuminate the audience on the facts it presumably lacks. At one point, Clémence, hearing "The Old Man," lifelong socialist revolutionary leader Louis Auguste Blanqui, mentioned, asks "Who's Blanqui?" His name may not be a household word today, but at that time, every working class person in Paris knew the Old Man's name--besides his monicker--and his visage.)
But what it captures of that sweep of those exhilarating and tragic moments--of what has sadly become a backwater of popular history--is what gives 'Red Virgin' its flavor--specifically, that of Montmartre before the Belle Époque of painters, musicians and cabarets, a later period more familiar to theater and filmgoers in the States.
Thursdays through Saturdays, 8 pm; Sundays at 5, till November 24, Berkeley City Club, 2315 Durant Avenue. $15-$28, sliding scale at door, $28 online. Thursday's, pay what you can. 558-1381; central works.org

Proper connection of two universal joints in series can compensate fully for the unevenness of the movement. For example, the advance caused by the first joint + is compensated by a retard of the same order - from the second joint. For this to occur, the following must be fulfilled:
Fig. 14:
Two common applications can be derived from this general principle:
6.1 Z-Deflection
In this most common application method, the deflection occurs in one plane only (Fig. 15). For complete compensation for movement, the forks of the common shaft must lie in one plane and the deflection angles must be the same.
Fig. 15:
6.2 W-Deflection
Here the same applies as for the Z-deflection.
Fig. 16:
6.3 Physical Deflection
If the two shaft projections viewed from the side show a Z-deflection and from the top a W-deflection or vice versa, there is a physical deflection as shown in Fig. 14.
The resulting deflection angles ß1 and ß2 and the twist angle of the deflection planes can be determined from the deflection angles ßV1 , ßV2 , ßH1 , ßH2 of the projections in Figs. 17 and 18.
Fig. 17:
Example (graphic process):
An arrangement as shown in Fig. 19 is used. The size and direction of the twist angle must be determined.
Fig. 18:
Fig. 19:
Values ßV1 = +15° and ßH1 = +7° are entered in the diagram (Fig. 18) and added geometrically. The dotted line 1 is the deflection plane of the joint 1 viewed from direction C onto the shaft. The length of the dotted line gives the resulting deflection angle ß1=16,5°.
The angles ßV1 = +15° and ßH1 = +7° are entered in the same way and an extended line 2 gives the deflection plane of the joint 2. The length of the extended line 2 gives the resulting deflection angle ß2.
The angle between the two lines 1 and 2 is the twist angle . The fork b of joint 2 lying on the common shaft must be twisted by this angle in relation to the fork a of joint 1 lying on the common shaft when viewed from direction C. In other words, by 71° counterclockwise.
The resulting deflection angle can be calculated as follows:
and the twist angle :
The sign must be taken from the graphic process. If is greater than 90°, in practice the explement angle is taken.
6.4 Permitted Tolerances
If for design reasons, complete evenness of the deflection angle is not or is not always possible, the following condition should at least be observed:
where ßE corresponds to the deflection angle of a single joint which generates the same degree of unevenness as the propeller shaft.
6.5 Multiple Joint Shafts
Multiple joint shafts with 3 or more joints are often used in vehicles. Then
Joints with the same fork position in relation to their deflection plane have the same sign (see Fig. 20).
Fig. 20:
In many cases, even with multiple joint shafts with physical deflection, sufficient compensation can be achieved. Please ask; we would be pleased to advise you.
Further information on propeller shaft kinematics is given in VDI directive 2722.

Lost in the surprising decision of Eagles quarterback Mike Vick to return to the team at a sharply reduced rate for 2013 is the fact that, when the 2012 season ended, Vick seemed to have had enough of his teammates in Philly.
He complained publicly at the time, saying that the lack of effort from other players "pisses [him] off."
On Saturday, he tried to reconcile those remarks with his decision to play with those players for at least one more year during an appearance on 97.5 The Fanatic in Philly.
"I talked to about 15, 16 of my teammates already," Vick told the radio station. "They know me as a person. They know me as a competitor. I wasn't pointing the finger at one person. It would have been easy to just point out one group of guys or a couple individuals who I thought could have played better, but I said that including myself."
But he didn't include himself when he was criticizing his teammates. Instead, he singled himself out as the one player who went above and beyond for the cause.
"I give 110 percent effort," Vick said. "My body is scarred up all year. I'm hurt, I'm bruised, get up after every hit and still try and fight and push. I do that for my coaches. I do that for my teammates. And I would expect the same thing in return. . . .
"It's all about focus, dedication and commitment," Vick added while he was cleaning out his locker the day after the Eagles lost 11 of 12 games to finish the year 4-12. "Until you get guys who are willing to better themselves week in and week out and want to win, you're not going to win. And I haven't played with guys like that."
And now he's playing with those guys again. Good luck with that.

How to Use
Map 2: Southern part of Big Bend.
Questions for Map 2
1. Locate Castolon; Santa Elena (in Mexico); the Rio Grande; Terlingua Abaja, a farming community that grew up along Terlingua creek; and Terlingua, a mining community.
2. Why do you think so many of the settlements were located on or near a river?
3. Many of the streams in this area run only intermittently. What does that you tell about the local climate?
4. Which direction do you think the streams flow? What does this tell you about the terrain? In particular, where are the highest elevations within the park?
* The map on this screen has a resolution of 72 dots per inch (dpi), and therefore will print poorly. You can obtain a high quality version of Map 2, but be aware that the file may take as much as 15 seconds to load with a 28.8K modem.

Dec. 1, 2010
This Month in CSUN Athletics - December
Bob Vazquez, Assistant Athletic Director for Media Relations, offers his monthly insights on the accomplishments on the teams, coaches and student-athletes who compete for Cal State Northridge ... The monthly report includes upcoming key games, and a report on what other activities are happening in the Matador Athletic Department ... This month, a little of this, a little of that.
Hoops Hoopla ...
If not the NBA, then about pro basketball overseas ... In the past couple years, several men's and women's basketball players from Cal State Northridge have played basketball in Europe, Japan and even Chile ... The men's list has included former Matador stars Jonathan Heard, Tremaine Townsend, Calvin Chitwood, Willie Galick, Jayme Miller and women's basketball star Ofa Tulikihihifo ... During their off-seasons, several of those players have visited their alma mater, Cal State Northridge, and expressed their thanks at the opportunity to see another part of the world, experience that countries culture, learn a new language, and continue playing a sport they love, basketball ... Galick, who played two seasons at CSUN (2008-10) and helped lead the team to the NCAA Tournament in 2008-09, is playing in Sweden for Sodertalje Kings,, Miller, a tough forward at CSUN (2006-08), is playing in Turkey for Gelisim Koleji, Heard, one of the all-time Matador leaders in scoring and rebounding (2004-08), is playing in Finland for Porvoon Tarmo, and Townsend, a tough rebounder and school record holder in blocks (2007-09), is playing in France playing for Hyeres-Toulon Var Basket ... Tulikihihifo, one of the all-great women's basketball player in Matador history (2002-07), is playing this year with the BC Wildcats Wolfenbuettel in Germany ... In case you're interested, most foreign teams sign American players for two years with an option for a third season ... Salaries start around $20,000 a year, but can reach upwards of $2.5 million ... The down side is that teams can release you at any time and not pay you any more money ... But the opportunity to continue playing basketball and seeing another part of the world is priceless.
Marcelo Memo ...
Soon we will be calling water polo head coach Marcelo Leonardi, Dr. Marcelo Leonardi ... The second-year head coach is nearing completion for his Ph.d requirements in Educational Leadership from Azusa Pacific College ... Leonardi, in his rookie season as head coach of the Matador water polo last year, coached the team to its best season ever at 28-8, a second straight regular season Big West title, and a national ranking that reached as high as ninth ... Despite losing a talented group of seniors, including All-American goalkeeper Jillian Stapf, Leonardi has recruited a quality freshman class and along with several key returnees from last year, water polo will again be one of CSUN's top sports.
Fast Facts ...
Michael Lizarraga's inspirational story is starting to gain national attention ... Lizarraga is the only deaf collegiate basketball player competing on the NCAA Division I level, and the New York Times will soon publish a story on the senior's determination to play a sport he loves despite his inability to hear ... At the recent 76 Classic in Anaheim, ESPNU documented Lizarraga's inspirational story which included a lengthy feature during halftime ... So what has Lizarraga done in his senior season to warrant a starting role ... Lizarraga is averaging 6.5 points and 4.3 rebounds per game ... Lizarraga enjoyed his best game of the year at Pac-10 power California when he scored a career-high 15 points (6-for-8 from the floor) along with four rebounds, two steals and a block ... Coming off the bench at UCLA, Lizarraga played 14 minutes and responded with eight points along with four rebounds ... In two games this year, Lizarraga has a season-high six rebounds ... Lizarraga is shooting 56 percent from the floor, and leads the team in steals with ten, tenth-best in the Big West Conference ... Well done, Michael !!!
See you in January !!!

The Kinston-Lenoir County Public Library and Neuseway Planetarium will host an International Observe the Moon Night. The event will take place on Saturday.
International Observe the Moon Night (IOMN) was created by scientists, educators, and moon enthusiasts from the United States and across the globe. The event has created the opportunity to for people to take notice of the moon�s beauty and share that experience with one another. Through IOMN, the hope is to instill in the public a sense of wonderment and curiosity about the moon.
The event enables enthusiasts to keep up to date with the latest and greatest scientific discoveries about Earth�s nearest neighbor and bring those discoveries to the public.
IOMN has two events; family story time at the Kinston-Lenoir County Public Library will be dedicated to the moon and outer space and is fun for the whole family. Although the library presents family story time each Saturday at 3 p.m. in the children�s theater, this week, the library will celebrate the moon and outer space at 3 p.m.
On Saturday at 6:30 p.m., the Neuseway Planetarium will host the IOMN in Neuseway Nature Park. The event will consist of games, snacks, planetarium shows and moon observance.
If you have any additional questions or comments about this event, please contact the Kinston-Lenoir County Public Library or Neuseway Planetarium.
For more information on upcoming events sponsored by the Friends of the Kinston-Lenoir County Public Library, please contact the Kinston-Lenoir County Public Library at 252-527-7066, Ext. 133, or visit the website at neuselibrary.org.
Calendars of events are also available at each library branch in Lenoir, Greene and Jones counties.

I was looking for help for the block on this board and could not find any. So I figured I could document the way I made it............after a lot of thinking and trying and this may help others.
I printed the block several times in order to cut pp templates. After piecing the small star in the middle the traditional way I figured that it would be hard to resew the sections of the next round as the block is not in a right angle.
I decided to pp in circles:

Bernadette Church
I'm a Reiki Practioner and teacher of meditation. I run retreats from my home and focus on complimentary methods of maintaining health and wellbeing. Reiki is a Japanese word for "Life Force" or "Life Energy" dating back to ancient Tibet. There are various lineages - I practice Jin Ki Do.
I need a business card. I'd like something smart and simple. A name for the business would be good (something I have thought about for a very long time but still have not come up with something "smart and simple"!) I'm happy to keep just my name if it comes to it. I need to have Reiki Practitioner, my home address, mobile phone (cell) number and email address. I don't want the card to look too cluttered either! I'm truly passionate about this ancient art and wish for the card to be well balanced, subtle and clear at the same time. It's also a very spiritual practice on a deeper level but I want to be careful and subtle with this also. The rest is up to you!
The attached Reiki Format file is what I put together when I held a retreat last year. I used my own photographs including photographs of the venue. Some of the information may be of help.

Gearing up for another tax season. It's just not the same anymore. I remember we would get our new Master Tax Guides and dividend guides. It was kind of like that feeling you had as a kid when summer was ending and you were getting new notebooks and protractors. You knew that after a week or so you would be looking forward to vacation but for that brief period you were looking forward to school. We used to have a meeting that would start out with Herb Cohan rapidly reading everything he had heard at the NYU Tax Seminar. He would always finish up by telling us that we were the best crew that he had ever had. All those years of continuous improvement. I hate to think what it must have been like at Joseph B Cohan and Associates in 1956, if we were like thirty years better than they were.
The funny thing about tax season is that most people involved in it and their families say that they hate it. It's not true. Well maybe with the families, it's true, but a lot of preparers really love tax season, although they don't admit it - even to themselves. It gives life drama and creates a certain level of camaraderie. I still remember the way some of us would become part time smokers bumming cigarettes from the few full time smokers left. I would buy my source a pack every week or so. My buddy Mikey and I would always break for supper, usually chili dogs, and drop a few quarters playing Spy Hunter in the Dream Machine. Around 9:00 PM, after all the partners were gone I would go to the deli and buy a six pack and give a can to each of the hard core guys that worked till 10:30 every night. And of course as you were leaving the office at 4:00 PM on Sunday, you could always count on somebody telling you to have a nice weekend.
If you don't believe me about some people loving tax season, just consider the case of DeWayne Preacely whose sentencing appeal was turned down by the Seventh Circuit. Mr. Preacely got nine months in prison and three months of supervised release just for hanging around the office of the tax preparation business called Personal Tax, that was owned by his wife. He said he wasn't even preparing returns. But wait a second ? Is hanging around at a tax practice a crime ? Well for most people it is not, but Mr. Preacely's circumstances were special.
Rovner, Circuit Judge: DeWayne Preacely pleaded guilty in 2009 to one count of tax fraud in violation of 26 U.S.C. §7206(2). The district court sentenced him to 18 months' imprisonment to be followed by a threeyear term of supervised release. After his release from prison, the district court revoked Preacely's supervised release when the court concluded that he had violated a special condition of his supervised release prohibiting him from participating in his former occupation of tax preparer. Preacely appeals from the district court's decision to sentence him to a nine-month term of re-imprisonment followed by an additional three months of supervised release
My blogging buddy, Joe Kristan, wrote about Mr. Preacely's original conviction. The Seventh Circuit explained it like this:
Preacely's underlying conviction stemmed from his involvement in procuring fraudulent tax refunds for clients of his business, Personal Tax. Preacely's clients received illegitimate refunds by including on their tax returns items such as nonexistent business losses and dependents. Thus, in addition to the standard conditions of supervised release, Preacely's 2009 conviction contained the following special condition of supervised release: "Defendant is not to act directly or indirectly as a tax preparer during the term of supervised release except for his own family." When the district court imposed the special condition of supervised release, Preacely's counsel asked the following question by way of clarification: "Judge, may he own the business if he himself does not prepare any taxes himself?" The court responded, "No. No. I think he has compromised his integrity with a significant number of fraudulent tax returns, and you should not engage in the business of tax preparation directly or indirectly."
Apparently even after Mr. Preacely's stay in federal housing, there were still issues with Personal Tax.
Meanwhile, the IRS had initiated another investigation of Personal Tax after discovering that in 2011, 99.5% of the 1,762 tax returns filed by Personal Tax claimed refunds—of which over half were claims of self-employment income for alleged in-home childcare providers or beauticians. During its investigation, the IRS sent an undercover agent to Personal Tax; when the agent was there he inquired about a job and asked to speak to the vice-president. He was directed to Preacely, who told the undercover agent that if he had inquired earlier during the tax season Preacely would have hired him.
There you have it. The lure of tax season. Mr. Preacely had been in prison. They let him out and he knew that if went back to being involved with tax preparation, he could go back to prison. He couldn't resist.
I will say this. I have never developed any affection for what we now call second tax season. It runs from early August through October 15th. That is when we complete what Robert Flach, The Wandering Tax Pro, calls the GDEs. The rest of us call them extensions. Bob's resentment of them is that he wants to work about 168 hours a week for a couple of months and spend the rest of the year blogging and going to musicals. Even a tax preparer who admits to liking tax season is unlikely to like second tax season and certainly not as much as a hobbit likes second breakfast.

Using optogenetics to regulate metabolic activity in cell membranes and understand disease
August 2, 2012
With a milliseconds-long flash of blue light, Yale University researchers have regulated a critical type of signaling molecule within cell membranes.
The study is one of the first to use light to regulate metabolic activity in the membranes of cells.
Optogenetics uses of genetically encoded probes to make cell functions sensitive to light to manipulate cell functions and thus to study mechanisms of disease.
"The cell outer membrane is the part of the cell that communicates with the environment," said Olof Idevall-Hagren, postdoctoral researcher and lead author of the paper. "Many cellular processes start at the cell outer membrane."
The team combined a plant protein that is sensitive to blue light with enzymes that catalyze the metabolism of signaling lipids within the cell membranes. When the complex was expressed in animal cells, scientists changed properties of cells such as their shape or ability to move simply by using blue light.
By turning off the light, the researchers were able to rapidly reverse the changes they induced. They were also able to regulate activities within a region of a cell by illuminating the area.
"This is a powerful tool to acutely manipulate the metabolism of membrane lipids and to study the resulting changes of cell behavior in real time," said Pietro De Camilli, the Eugene Higgins Professor of Cell Biology and investigator for the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. "Abnormal metabolism of lipids in cell membranes has been implicated in many diseases, such cancer, diabetes and neurodegeneration, including Alzheimer's Disease."
The team, whose primary focus is the function of the nervous system, hopes to use the technology to manipulate lipids in specific parts of neurons to investigate how the disruption of these mechanisms contribute to the development of disease.
The study was funded by the National Institutes of Health, the Ellison and Simons Foundations and the Swedish Research Council.

SAP and University of Cambridge Team Up for Autism at Work Initiative
Categories: Uncategorized
SAP and University of Cambridge to Team Up for Autism at Work Initiative
March 27, 2014 | SAP – Corporate
SAP to Collaborate With Academic, Government and Non-Profit Organizations to Employ People on the Spectrum Globally, Brings New Employees Onboard in North America
WALLDORF, Germany – SAP AG (NYSE: SAP) today announced a new internship program with the University of Cambridge that will support Autism at Work, the company's unique global initiative to employ people with autism. The company issued this announcement as it brings onboard its first group of employees with autism in the United States in its Palo Alto, California, and Newtown Square, Pennsylvania, offices. Later this spring Vancouver and Montreal sites will join these initial North American SAP sites.
SAP and University of Cambridge Internship
SAP and the University of Cambridge plan to create a five-year agreement to identify talented students for the Autism at Work initiative. As part of the internship, the students will join the program in one of five SAP locations, India, US, Canada, Ireland or Germany, with the goal of being selected to becoming SAP employees at the end of their internship. Students with skills in software knowledge and programming are the primary target group.
SAP plans to work specifically with the Autism Research Centre at University of Cambridge University, directed by Professor Simon Baron-Cohen, a leading autism researcher internationally. Professor Baron-Cohen will help ensure that the internship process is designed to be "autism-friendly" and compliant with the autism strategy as written by the UK Department of Health. Professor Baron-Cohen will also provide ongoing consultation with SAP for its Autism at Work initiative.
The program with the University of Cambridge shows SAP's momentum in creating global support for Autism at Work since its global partnership with Specialisterne was announced last May. Specialisterne is a group that helps people with autism get training and support for technical jobs, to rollout the program worldwide.
"SAP is setting a terrific example, showing that a multinational IT company not only positively welcomes applicants with autism or Asperger Syndrome, but believes that there is a strong business case for employing them, because of their special talents," said Professor Sir Leszek Borysiewicz, the Vice-Chancellor of Cambridge University. "Cambridge University is delighted to be partnering in this way."
"The foundation of innovation is a diverse workforce, and the most creative ideas can come from unexpected places," said Anka Wittenberg, chief diversity and inclusion officer, SAP AG. "We hope to spark a global movement that gives people on the autism spectrum an opportunity to add their special talents and perspectives to the business world. By uniting with Cambridge University and other partners, we can change the way people think about innovation and help the world run better."
SAP Collaborates With State Agencies and Non-Profits in United States
To support its efforts in California, SAP is also identifying and training job candidates in collaboration with the California Department of Rehabilitation and TransAccess, a California based non-profit organization that provides a broad variety of services for people with disabilities. The California Department of Rehabilitation administers one of the largest Vocational Rehabilitation program in the country, serving as an employment resource for people with disabilities. Similarly, as SAP begins its initiative in Pennsylvania, the company is working with The Pennsylvania Office of Vocational Rehabilitation via the Philadelphia Chapter of The Arc, the largest national community-based organization advocating for and serving people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families.

What would get over 400 techies to give up a beautiful Saturday and spend the day inside learning about SQL Server and .Net? It was the IndyTechFest held in Indianapolis yesterday! Brad McGehee, Jessica Moss, Kevin Kline, Jimmy May, and I joined several other MVPs, Microsoft employees, and local experts presenting in 7 tracks. Jessica and I also hosted a WIT discussion similar to the one held each year at the PASS Summit.
The organizers, including SQL Server MVP John Magnabosco, did an excellent job, and the day proved to be a very high energy, learning extravaganza. Held at the Indy Marriott East, the facilities were fantastic, and I only noticed a couple of logistical glitches. The fact that the organizers were almost always available to chat with speakers and attendees led me to believe that they did a great job preparing for the day and mobilizing volunteers.
Probably the most interesting session for me was the introduction of the Windows 7 phone for programmers. We were able to see how the phone will work by viewing the emulator. They talked about the requirements to get programs published for sale for the phone including the use of Azure cloud services to let the phones do less work and, therefore, allow more battery life. I was reminded of a time about 20 years ago when lots of little shareware programs were sold for the PC. I had the dream of coming up with an idea and writing a program that could be sold from a shareware catalog back then. That dream never happened for me, but I think that lots of developers in the room now have a similar dream for the phone.
Overall, I enjoyed IndyTechFest a great deal and look forward to attending next year.

Update:Blog Entry | Transcript | Photograph
On February 23, 2011, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton will respond to questions from Egyptian youth during a social media dialogue hosted by the Egyptian online news and information portal Masrawy.com.
On February 20, Masrawy.com launched a dedicated page on their website titled "Hillary Clinton Engages in Dialogue with Egyptian Youth." The page is specially designed to collect questions from Egyptians, from which Masrawy.com will choose several to conduct an exclusive interview with Secretary Clinton. Masrawy's U.S.-based correspondent Dr. Ahmed Ghanim will moderate the discussion in the State Department's studio on February 23, and the interview will appear on Masrawy.com later that day.
Users are invited to submit written and video questions at Masrawy.com, via Masrawy's Twitter feed @masrawyfans, or the Department of State's Arabic Twitter account, @USAbilAraby.
Masrawy.com also collected questions in Tahrir Square during the recent gathering on Friday, February 18. To date, users have submitted nearly 6,500 written questions, videos and audio files for the social media dialogue with Secretary Clinton.
In Egypt, youth played an instrumental role in the unprecedented protests that have created a new chapter in the country's history. The United States is committed to engaging with youth and civil society around the world, whose voices play a vital role in shaping their communities and future. Furthermore, as Secretary Clinton reiterated in her recent speech on "Internet Rights and Wrongs: Choices and Challenges in a Networked World," protecting the universal human rights of freedom of expression and freedom of association online as well as offline are central to the United States' foreign policy agenda.

Joseph M. in Oregon writes:
Madam Secretary,
In reading of the Masrawy.com initiative announced today, where Secretary Hillary will be engaging with the Egyptian youth in dialogue and addressing a Q/A type session, well, this is the best news I've heard this week. This program is truly remarkable!
These are exactely the types of programs and initiatives that the EU member states were discussing with the world leaders present, last week during the Munich conference.
This engagement with the Egyptian youth should be made a model and applied to other Arab nation states in the region, new democracies will result in each countries' youth being placed in a extremely vulnerable situation. I would consider adapting this model in other Arab nations experiencing change, for example: Yemen, Algeria, Morocco, Bahrain and Jordon in naming a few.
I am very pleased and proud of our U.S. Department of State in reading about this newly organized initiative, where a intiative has been developed and implemented for actually engaging with the Egyptian youth.
Fantastic news, congratulations on this effort, thank-you.
Abdelrhman in Egypt writes:
mrs. hillary clinton; why do you want to talk to egyption youth? I think that the egyption youth have stamina and ability to override the many problems that they are going through.Where were you for thirty years ago?
Carl J. in Washington writes:
This is a good, positive development. Egypt is by no means out of the woods yet, and neither are Libya, Tunisia, and Algeria, and this ongoing dialog about democracy with grass roots people is potentially very useful.
Another positive thing the US could do with regard to African problems is to coordinate our policies with the democratic governments on the African Continent. The governments of South Africa and Namibia have recent, successful revolutionary experience. If we can combine that revolutionary experience with American economic strength and American technology, we can promote a strong movement for democratic change throughout the African Continent, and that would be good for US interests and good for the people of Africa.

The Dolphins hope to get more out of wide receiver Mike Wallace in Wallace's second season in Miami, but things haven't gotten off to the best of starts.
Wallace is out of practice on Thursday because of a sore hamstring, which also kept him out of practice on Wednesday. Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports that the injury is expected to keep Wallace off the field through the weekend.
That means Wallace will miss a scrimmage at Sun Life Stadium on Saturday and Salguero reports he'll be evaluated again at the start of next week. If Wallace's absence extends deeper into the week, he'll be at risk of missing the team's first preseason game on August 8 against the Falcons.
It doesn't sound like it is a major injury, although anything that keeps Wallace from working with quarterback Ryan Tannehill in the team's new offense is less than ideal for the chances of getting that improved second season from the centerpiece of their 2013 offseason moves.

A motorized awning allows you to relax comfortably while shielding yourself from harsh sunlight or rain within a matter of moments. We offer an assortment of different patterns and color schemes to suit your decorative preferences.
Superior Craftsmanship
Awnings, like most outdoor fixtures, must be maintained. We provide a number of services, including fabric repair and recovering, moving awnings, and motor replacement and repair. In addition to providing quality awnings, we also supply shutters and storm panels to promote relaxation, privacy, and security. Our custom made exterior and interior shutters are ideal for any space and are simple to operate. To protect your home against storms and even hurricane-force winds, ask about our state of the art storm panels. We will happily deliver and professionally install all personalized products for you.
