My daughter struggled in math during high school years. On parents' night her Junior year, the teacher reassured us that all students would pass Algebra II. He was more concerned about the Seniors in the optional Economics Class. He made fun of how they couldn't tell a deposit from a deduction and didn't know anything about FICA, savings accounts or how to open a checking account.
This bothered me. I mean, why should the school teach her Algebra II (Sine, Cosine, Absolute Value) instead of teaching her a skill she will need to know every day for the rest of her life? Instead of teaching useless knowledge that she will never have a purpose for?
Many professions are like this. Chiropractors are not taught how to market their businesses. In Chiropractic schools, students learn almost everything they will need to know to be successful physicians in their field... except the one thing they will need to use for the rest of their careers - Marketing.
Their offices are riddled with molds and pictures of spines and posters with admonition to get checked regularly, inside the office to the people who are generally SOLD on their services already.
Coincidentally ministers are not taught how to hold business meetings or develop leaders. These are skills they will need to know to lead people and keep their churches focused as long as they serve in pastoral positions.
Sales managers are not taught how to manage people effectively. Sure, they sell great, but that is the one thing they will stop doing once they become a sales manager. Instead, they will have to know how to manage different people and motivate them in the styles those people respond in.
What skills were YOU never taught that you need to know every day to do your job effectively?

Washington State defensive coordinator Mike Breske has Front Range ties
I'm guessing that first-year Washington State defensive coordinator Mike Breske has some fond memories of Colorado. But not the University of Colorado.
Breske's Cougars defense blew a 17-point lead in the fourth quarter Saturday and the visiting Colorado Buffaloes pulled out a 35-34 victory when QB Jordan Webb scored on a 4-yard keeper with nine seconds left.
This is Breske's first job as coordinator in a power conference. But he is well known along the Front Range.
Breske coached for Joe Glenn on those powerhouse Northern Colorado teams (1987-99), and later with Glenn at Montana (2000-02), which also was a national champion. But things didn't go so well with Glenn at Wyoming (2003-06).
First-year Washington State coach Mike Leach hired Breske from Montana, where he was in his second stint with the Grizzlies.

A top tea party group is taking its clash with Karl Rove to a new level, sending out a fundraising email Tuesday featuring a photoshopped image of the GOP operative in an SS uniform.
"Wipe the Smirk Off Karl Rove's Face," reads the subject line of the email, from Jenny Beth Martin, co-founder and national coordinator of the Tea Party Patriots.
Story Continued Below
The email features a photo illustration in which Rove's face is grafted onto a photo of a uniformed officer in the Reichsführer-SS, an elite rank during Adolf Hitler's Third Reich. The lower left-hand corner of the photo features the inscriptions "Reichsführer-SS" and "K. Rove," and appears to match a photo of SS Reichsführer Heinrich Himmler.
( See also: Full email from Tea Party Patriots)
Tuesday afternoon, more than five hours after the fundraising email went out, Tea Party Patriots issued a public apology to Rove.
"We apologize to Mr. Rove," Martin said in the statement. "While we may have strong disagreements with Mr. Rove on the future of conservatism, we want to be clear this imagery is absolutely unacceptable and are working to ensure this type of mistake doesn't happen again."
Rove issued a statement saying all is well. "Apology accepted," Rove said. "Now let's all get back to work building conservative Republican majorities and stop President Obama's agenda."
Jameson Cunningham, a spokesman for Tea Party Patriots, said the image was added by accident. "The image was a mistake which was never approved by TPP," he told POLITICO.
Cunningham provided a Microsoft Word document with what he said was the fundraising email as approved. It featured a link to a photo of an image of Rove appearing to thumb his nose. The next image in a slideshow on the linked page is the photo illustration of Rove in the SS uniform.
The tea party drew scathing criticism when a relatively small number of activists used racist rhetoric and Hitler comparisons in their criticism of President Barack Obama. Tea party leaders quickly denounced the rhetoric as unrepresentative of the small government movement, and pointed out that liberals protesting the Iraq war had compared former President George W. Bush to Nazis.
In fact, the Tea Party Patriots' email lambastes "'Republicans' like Rove" for calling "Tea Party members 'racists', 'bigots,' 'paranoid' and even political 'underbrush'" over "just that last few weeks."

Personal or ad hominem attacks will not be tolerated, under any circumstances. If you disagree with something which has been posted, address the post, not the poster.
For the most part, discussion is to be restricted to published materials with some relevance to Electric Universe and Plasma Cosmology themes, and related scientific information. Having said that, this forum affords more latitude than most, assuming most users will allow common sense to guide them. For those who wish to discuss topics closer to the fringes, please restrict your discussions to the 'New Insights and Mad Ideas' or 'The Human Question' boards. Please note, that even on these boards discussion still must bear some relevance to EU/PC themes. This is not the place for wild speculation or conspiracy theories, and there are many other forums suitable for that purpose.
The discussion of political and religious matters is to be discouraged, except when clearly relevant to the discussion in progress.
The Thunderbolts Forum is not a personal publishing house for your own theories or opinions. Please do not post large excerpts of information that is available on your own or another website. It is far more acceptable to post a link to such information. Likewise, posting the same information repeatedly in one thread or the same text across multiple threads on the forum is also to be discouraged.
Users whose only goal appears to be to spam our boards will be deleted along with their posts.
Do not link to purely commercial sites. Whilst many sites with good information do have a commercial aspect, sites whose primary goal is to solicit sales of goods or services are to be avoided. Links to material unrelated to the forum discussion at hand will be viewed as spam.
We do allow links in signatures, and these may be exempted from the need to relate to a specific forum discussion but these should be treated with caution. Any signature links of a purely commercial nature will be removed and may lead to posts/membership being deleted.
Always respect the privacy of others, including non-members. The posting of personal contact or other details of a third party (which are not already readiliy and legally available on the internet) without their permission will likely lead to administrative action including but not limited to banning from the forum, and could also lead to legal action. Do not post the content of emails or PMs (Personal Messages) without the sender's permission.
Quoting posts:
Please do not quote whole posts unless you need to address the post as a whole. It is preferable to quote only the relevant passages which you are addressing. So if you've used the 'quote' button on someone's post, make sure you delete all of the irrelevant parts before posting. Should you need to quote many passages seperately, learn how to manipulate the BB code quote tags to achieve this. The 'preview' function will help you to experiment and understand just how text / images will look, before posting, if you are unsure.
Posting Limits
In order to better manage both your own posting habits and for readers to be able to follow discussions more easily, and to assist moderators and administrators to manage the boards, it has become necessary for us to introduce posting limits. We ask all contributors to follow these guidelines:
Do not start more than two new threads in any one day.
Do not make more than three to six posts in any one day. Three is preferred, six would be the maximum allowing for answers to members who have posed a question to another particular member.
Members seeking to flood our forums with flippant or nonsensical posts may find both their posts and membership deleted. Other members should find the above guidelines helpful in causing them to "think before you post" and make posts more succinct and relevant to the discussion at hand.
Quite simply, the above equates to "don't bite off more than you can chew" and "make your posts count".
Images and avatars:
We have allowed the uploading of images and avatars to our system, but this will only remain available whilst members maintain good sense in the posting of images, as follows.
BEFORE uploading any image, make sure it does not exceed 600 pixels in either dimension, and is preferably not larger in file size than 50KB. If practical, use of a smaller 'thumbnail' image of around 300x300 pixels and a url link to an off-site larger hi-res version of the same image is preferable. One of the many available open-source or professional image editing programs will allow you to resize your images. Using a moderate 'compression' value which keeps the file size of the image(s) down is also a 'best practice.' This forum is viewed world-wide and not everyone has access to high-speed connections, and with the phpBB3's 'timeout' function, the loading of image-intense pages is particularly difficult for those on dial-up or other low-speed services. Our aim is to reach as many people as possible with our information, so please keep these suggestions in mind.
Always treat fellow users, moderators and site administrators with respect. Users come here to discuss matters of common interest in an environment of friendliness and freedom from abuse. Moderators and administrators are volunteers who give their time and attention to ensure a good experience for all.
These rules and guidelines and the terms and conditions are subject to change at any time, without notice. Please view them from time to time to ensure you continue to operate within their parameters.
Most of all, enjoy your experience!

Coming up: Live Events
Published 28 April 2009
Posted by Al Dean
So, I don't know if you heard, but there's supposed to be some sort of global economic apocalypse happening. Would someone please tell my travel agent, because it seems that whilst the world is in financial freefall, I'm travelling more than ever, both within the UK and to the US. and its not just me, its the rest of the DEVELOP3D team too.
I've been in the US for a month of 2009 already this year and just got back from a trip to Portland and Arizona and I'm headed out to RAPID2009 in Chiacgo early next month. I've not been to RAPID before, so I'm pretty excited to see what's on show. There's pretty much three events that make my calender for a year on the rapid prototyping front. Euromold in Frankfurt at the tail end of the year and TCT Live just a few months before it in October in the UK.
RAPID is a new addition, organised by the Society of Manufacturing Engineers and its on in Schaumburg, just outside of Chicago, 12 May to the 14th. A quick gander at the exhibitor list and all the big boys are there, Objet, Stratasys, EOS, Z Corp, all the reverse engineering guys as well as a some of the bigger service providers. It'll be interesting to speak to the latter to see how things are going. I discovered a long while ago that talking to those that 'service' the product development industry is a fantastic gauge for seeing how the industry is doing as a whole.
After that, next US trip is out to Orlando again for PTC/User 2009 – always an intriguing event. One thing I found interesting is that rather than, as they have in previous years, segregated the press/media from the users for all but a few select occasions, this year, we seem to have a lot more freedom to wander and to explore. Of course, with Wildfire 5 on its way very soon, I'll be trying to find out a little more about what's coming up and let you guys know. PTC also have another event on I'm going to try and make, that's looking at Windchill ProductPoint, something I looked at in the last issue of DEVEVLOP3D. It's running in the UK on the 7th of May at the Warwick Manufacturing Group International Centre. Details are here.
Which brings me to the point of my post. Are live events something you're interested in? With staff reductions, greater work load and more pressure than ever, is a live event something you'd consider stepping foot out of the office for? I'm curious to know. I suspect the answer is a no, but if its a yes, I'd love to know the reason why.

Proto Labs add the fourth axis to its plans for domination
Published 27 April 2009
Posted by Al Dean
Ever heard of Proto Labs? What about Protomold or First Cut? Well, if you have, you probably know all about their service, if you don't let me explain. Proto Labs, in both their US and European operation, have managed to build up a very interesting business – starting out with injection moulding, the company focussed on squeezing out the inefficiencies in the whole process and have squeezed things down until they've got it absolutely nailed. You load up the web-site, upload your 3D CAD data and get a quote back.
The quote is hyper-interactive, lets you see any potential problems and gives you a huge amount of Design for Manufacturing advice (its worth using it for that reason alone, as a sanity check). You get a price that's an amalgamation of the cost of the Aluminium tool, batch size, material selection and time. If it meets your needs, the machine kicks into gear. The factory set-up in the UK (I've not seen the US operation) is super slick. Aluminium tools are produce, plastic is shot and parts are shipped. That's pretty standard right? no. These guys can turn it around in 24 hours. Yup. Part uploaded, paid for, tool machined, loaded onto a moulder, parts produced, packed and shipped – in 24 hours. Now tell me that's not impressive.
In the last few years, the company has been expanding its services, mostly notably with the creation of First Cut Prototype, where you can order prototype components, machined directly from production intent material (rather than moulded – and it just does plastic.. at the moment). Why would you want to do that when there's a wealth of rapid prototyping technology avialable that claim the same? The answer is firstly, production intent means production intent, rather than a resin or powder-based simulacrum. The second is again, speed. They can get your order, give you the same ProtoQuote, then once accepted, you can get those parts, to your door, in the same time frame – 24 hours. Something that makes a mockery of the Rapid tag often attributed to some prototyping techniques.
Well, the interesting news is that the company has just added a 4th axis to its First Cut service – this means that they can rotate the around the z axis and can produce more complex components. Oh and John Tumelty, the MD of Proto Labs Europe, is also a columnist in DEVELOP3D, where he gets his hair off over manfuacturing issues every month. Why did we ask John to write for us? Because when it comes to design for manufacturing, these guys have got it nailed.

Open Source PLM?
Published 26 April 2009
Posted by Martyn Day
Still recovering from the jetlag of attending COFES (Congress on the Future of Engineering Software) in Arizona but having flashbacks of some of the meetings we had. One of the stand-out sessions was with Simon Floyd of Microsoft, who is in charge of PLM strategy at the global giant. Simon introduced us to a company called Aras, which had decided to sack its entire sales force and turn its PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) software into Open Source.
After much head scratching it seemed that Aras based it's 'Open' PLM layer on all of Microsoft's enterprise products, so companies that had already acquired Microsoft Enterprise products would have all the necessary products (like SharePoint) to assemble a PLM system, with the addition of the 'as-many-users-as-you-want, no license fee, no nothing, honest' Aras Innovator PLM Solution Suite.
While we didn't get a demo of the software, the issue for us seemed to be that Microsoft was backing a specific PLM vendor,when its partnered with Dassault Systemes, PTC, Siemens PLM Software and many others. Pushing an Open Source alternative will certainly put some noses out of place. Even more when they hear that the Microsoft sales teams have all had a demo of Aras Innovator as a demonstration of adding value to the Microsoft Enterprise package.
I'm probably the last person on the planet to find anything about PLM interesting but many of the big CAD vendors have big investments in getting customers to spend big in this area. Now they have to get over the hurdle of what the free, or almost free software can do.

I was fourteen on the day the Twin Towers fell and living in the UK, we had a very different experience of the event. For one, this wasn't something we woke up to – it happened for us in the middle of the afternoon. I finished my school day unaware of what had happened and rode the bus home where I was greeted by my mother looking unnaturally concerned. She told me something dreadful had happened and led me to our living room where the TV was switched on, showing footage of the second plane hitting the World Trade Centre and the towers collapsing. My initial reaction was the same as my mother's had been earlier in the day – an assumption that this was a trailer for some new disaster film that I hadn't yet heard of. I remember the creeping realisation that this wasn't faked, feeling numb, staring at the screen completely unable to comprehend what I was seeing. Five months previously I had been lucky enough to take a school trip across the Atlantic to New York, Philadelphia and Washington, DC, it had been my first trip to the United States. Our itinerary had taken in most of the major historical and political sights of the three cities and had included a visit to the Twin Towers, although we had not entered them, just stood in the plaza. The memories then were very fresh, I could still remember in vivid detail the way my neck had hurt trying to look up at the tops of the towers, lying on the floor with school friends to take pictures because that was more comfortable. We have nothing in England to the scale of the towers, they had been quite literally the biggest man made structures I had ever seen and it simply would not compute in my head that they could have fallen.
Over the next few days, we in the UK struggled to come to grips with what had happened. It is often said that the UK and US have a "special relationship" that brings us closer together than many other nations, and we certainly felt it over those days and weeks. Although it wasn't our nation that had been attacked, it felt as if it had been. Families here lost relatives and friends although not nearly in the numbers felt in the US, even my school was not immune with one girl in the year below me losing her mother as we found out in a special assembly the morning of September twelfth. We mourned the losses from over three thousand miles away and tried to offer what support we could whilst also feeling the looming threat that we could be next. National security was tightened in a way that we are still feeling today.
In my home town of Manchester, an enormous tribute concert and football tournament was organised at the city's arena – the largest in Europe – in October 2001. Manchester's city centre had been destroyed by a terrorist bomb attack five years previously and was still being rebuilt, giving the people of the city some feel for the devastation New York was suffering, perhaps more than any other UK city. Over 15,000 people attended the event, myself included, which eventually raised over £70,000 for the Greater Manchester Fire Brigade's New York Firefighters Dependents Fund – set up to help support the families of the 343 firefighters who gave their lives on 9/11. TV stars, veteran players from Manchester's world famous football teams and popular opera singer Russel Watson all took part, the latter singing God Bless America to a tear filled audience, but the loudest applause and standing ovations were given to New York firefighters Thomas Gogarty and Joe Torrillo who had travelled over from America to receive the cheques and thank the crowd.
As it happened, the UK was indeed targeted but not for almost four years. Just as we began to feel that perhaps the storm clouds had passed, London became the victim of its own day of terror with the7/7 bombingsthat killed 55 people, a small number in comparison to the atrocities of 9/11 but no less harrowing for the families and friends of those involved. I remember that day just as well as 9/11, my would-be husband waking me up to tell me that the first bomb had gone off. Spending all morning on the phone with my mother and sister as we watched the events unfolding and hastily cancelling our weekend plans that had called for us all to travel into London the very next day. In our time of need, the US stood by us as we had done years before.
The events of 9/11 are still playing out ten years later on both sides of the Atlantic and around the world. These are the events that will fill the history textbooks our grandchildren will study, and as new events continue to unfold and new revelations are brought to light, we still don't know how those books will read. What I do know is that by standing together, we are stronger and that the one thing 9/11 (and our own 7/7) didn't manage to achieve was to weaken us and send us scurrying into the darkness. We have emerged from these tragedies with a new resolve and if anything a deeper love for our countries. Tragedies have a way of pulling us together and ten years later the US and UK are closer than we have ever been, standing together to face the future, whatever it might bring.

It's the final countdown! On Tuesday, Carson Daly will crown the ninth winner of "The Voice." And now, it's up to America to decide who that person will be. The final four singers took the stage on Monday night with three performances in a bid to follow in the footsteps of Sawyer Fredericks and his predecessors. Let's dive into their finale performances:
Jordan Smith, Team Adam
Ever since the Kentucky singer's audition, which allowed the audience to experience his rendition of "Chandelier" blind, as the judges do, he's been the most-hyped contestant of the season. His competitors told E! News that they thought he was the one to beat. In the finale, he took on Julie Andrews' big number from The Sound of Music, "Climb Ev'ry Mountain," plus the Christmas song "Mary Did You Know" and a duet with coach Adam Levine on "God Only Knows" by the Beach Boys—which definitely redeemed Team Adam's disaster that was their "Wouldn't It Be Nice" earlier in season nine.
U.S. & World
CLICK: Find out who the finalists are singing with in the finale.
Emily Ann Roberts, Team Blake
The 16-year-old singer has been a quieter success story than Jordan, but there's no doubt she's come into her own throughout the course of the competition. But could her nerves have gotten the best of her during her performance of "Blue Christmas?" She teamed up with coach Blake Shelton on the Dolly Parton-Kenny Rogers classic "Islands In the Stream"—as country classics have been her strong suit, that could've been a smart choice. Her solo was "Burning House" by Cam.
Jeffery Austin, Team Gwen
As always, Austin gave a trio of emotional performances during his turn. His first performance was formidable "O Holy Night," and he got into a groove with his latter performance "Stay" by Sugarland. He teamed up with coach Gwen Stefani on the appropriately retro-cool duet of Stevie Nicks and Don Henley's "Leather and Lace."
Barrett Baber, Team Blake
Baber and coach Shelton opted for a traditional take on Glen Campbell's "Rhinestone Cowboy," but went a little more modern with his solo of "Die a Happy Man" by Thomas Rhett. The Arkansas high school teacher chose "Silent Night" as his Christmas song.
CLICK: Who went home in last week's brutal cut?
"The Voice" winner will be crowned on Tuesday, Dec. 15 at 9 p.m. on NBC. As E! News revealed, the four singers' celebrity duets will be Roberts with Ricky Skaggs on "Country Boy," Baber with Wynonna Judd on "No One Else on Earth," Austin with Tori Kelly on "Hollow," and Smith with Usher on "Without You."

So much for riding off into the sunset.
Jerry Sloan's name continues to be connected with virtually every NBA job that opens more than two years after abruptly resigning as coach of the Utah Jazz.
The list of teams reaching out to Sloan last summer included Portland, Charlotte and Orlando.
Already this spring, Sloan says "a couple" of teams have called to gauge his interest in a possible return to coaching, including Milwaukee.
Although he hasn't pursued any of those jobs the 71-year-old Sloan consistently has excused himself from the running after preliminary discussions the fact he's at least listening doesn't surprise those who know him.
"He's an old pro, and he misses it," said Frank Layden, another former Jazz coach who remains a trusted friend. "It's just something that's in his blood. He has a passion for it. … It's hard for him to be away from the game."
Like Sloan, Layden resigned during the season. He stepped down in 1988 but never considered a comeback.
"I never had the love for it like Jerry has," Layden said. "I walked away and was completely comfortable never had the urge to do it again. But Jerry loves everything about basketball. The games. The practices. The hard work. Everything."
In retrospect, the possibility of Sloan's return to coaching probably was inevitable.
In September of 2011 only seven months after he resigned Tammy Sloan told The Tribune her husband was "just fine" while spending time working on the family farm in southern Illinois.
"[But] when he's here in Utah," she said, "he's bored out of his mind. He walks and he works out, but he's still looking for enough things to keep him busy. … I just don't see him staying retired. I can't see that happening."
Sloan's credentials, of course, are the kind that would catch the eye of any team looking for a new coach.
Elected to the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in 2009, he ranks third among all head coaches for regular-season wins with 1,221.
The Jazz reached the Western Conference finals five times between 1992 and 1998 under Sloan. They advanced to the Finals twice but lost to Chicago.
"Jerry's a top guy for anybody that wants to win," veteran player agent Keith Glass said.
Interestingly, Glass recently went to work for Sloan.
When the Bucks called to gauge his interest in the their job, Sloan asked Glass to set up the meeting. It's the first time Sloan ever used an agent, although Glass thinks of himself more as a consultant.
"Everything with Jerry is so different," Glass said. "He's such a different breed of cat, and that makes it a unique situation."
With Milwaukee, Glass simply called the Bucks and orchestrated the meeting in McLeansboro. He did not attend, but he insists calling Sloan a "candidate" for the job was an overstatement.
"They all had a good talk and great time, from what I was told," Glass said. "But the next thing you know, Jerry's in USA Today as a 'candidate.' He was never a candidate. They just sat and talked. It's just that, in this day and age, things get out of whack so fast."
Sloan has not spoken to the media since confirming the fact he had talked to the Bucks. Glass seems to have inherited the job.
"Jerry is concerned because his name keeps popping up all over the place … and that's not his style," Glass said. "He's being characterized as a candidate for all these jobs, but he's not. He has never applied."
Asked if he thought Sloan was "willing and able" to coach again, Glass did not hesitate.
"Well, Jerry is clearly able," he said. "Willing? I would say definitely, in the right situation. If a team could compete and if the team was going about things the right way, that would interest Jerry.
"What's important for people to know, especially people in Utah, is Jerry has not been pursuing these jobs. He hasn't been marketing himself. People come to him and they talk."
If Sloan does not take another coaching job, there might be another way for him to stay connected to the NBA perhaps in an official or unofficial position with the Jazz.
Sloan finally started to attend games last season and has been at the predraft camp in Chicago this week with coach Tyrone Corbin and other members of the staff.
"If there's something out there that's right for both parties, we would welcome a relationship with Jerry," team president Randy Rigby said. "The Utah Jazz have great love and respect for him."
Oddly, the biggest hurdle to Sloan's return to a consultant-type job with Utah likely would be Sloan.
Rigby knows the ex-coach never would do anything that could be construed as undermining Corbin or other staff members.
"When we talked about getting him seats to the games, he was very sensitive about where they were located," Rigby said. "He didn't want to be too close to the floor. He did not want to portray to Tyrone that he was interfering. That speaks volumes about Jerry Sloan, that he's sensitive to something like that."
So what's the bottom line for Sloan?
Twenty-five months after leaving the Jazz, it's clear he remains on the radar of NBA teams in need of a coach. The question seems to be whether Sloan can find one which gives him a chance to win relatively quickly a stated prerequisite because it's unlikely he will coach more than three or four years. Layden, for one, believes Sloan deserves one more chance to win the championship that eluded him in Utah.
"Jerry's just like Phil Jackson, Pat Riley and [Gregg] Popovich," Layden said. "He knows how to win."
Jerry Sloan file
• After 23 seasons, Jerry Sloan resigned as coach of the Jazz on Feb. 10, 2011.
• Sloan ranks third on the NBA's all-time list for coaching victories with 1,221.
• In 2009, Sloan was elected to the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame.

Luke O'Connor and Rebecca Frankel led the Crimson at the George Morris Regatta this weekend (photo courtesy Gil Talbot).
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – The Harvard sailing teams competed for two trophies over the weekend, finishing in sixth at the George Morris Regatta hosted by Boston University and 12th at the Reed Trophy New England Women's Dinghy Championship at Tufts University from April 27-28.
The Crimson finished sixth with 203 points and beat out 10 teams in the contest for the George Morris Trophy. Host BU edged Boston College, 112-116, for the title, while Brown (126), Connecticut College (145) and MIT (197) filled in the top five.
Junior Luke O'Connor and sophomore Rebecca Frankel led Harvard with 81 points from of Division B. The crew delivered eight top-five finishes throughout the regatta, highlighted by a second place finish in race No. 11. Freshman Andrew Mollerus and Sydney Karnovsky paired up to register three top-five placings, with a second place finish in race No. 2, and totaled 122 points in Division A.
"Luke and Becca had a good weekend," head coach Michael O'Connor said. "They were able to stay in the top 5 in the their fleet for most of the weekend, which is impressive because it is hard to stay consistent on that side of the bridge."
Juniors Morgan Russom, Isabel Ruane and Caitlin Watson, sophomore Ashleigh Inglis and freshman Sophie Bermudez and Kristina Jakobson competed for the Reed Trophy and a bid to women's nationals.
Facing shifting winds all weekend, the sailors amassed 212 points to finish in 12th place. Boston College claimed the trophy with 53 points, followed by Yale (94), Rhode Island (120), Dartmouth (124) and Tufts (124). Connecticut College, Roger Williams, U.S. Coast Guard Academy and Brown also qualified for nationals.
Harvard tallied four top-five finishes at the regatta. Russom and Ruane highlighted their Division A races with a third and fourth place outing for the Crimson. The sailors submitted 100 points to the team total after 10 races.
Watson, Inglis, Bermudez and Jakobson represented Harvard in Division B. The crews also had two top-five finishes, highlighted with a third place outing in race No. 8. The Crimson posted 112 points in Division B.

You've heard the acronym and seen plenty of articles about it on the internet, but what is it really? The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a privacy regulation that affords certain rights to European residents and imposes obligations on companies that do business with European residents. Here's our take on those rights and obligations in our own words.
Customer Rights
- Transparency or the right for individuals to know what is happening with their personal data
- Consent or the right for individuals to choose what personal data is collected about them and to change that choice
- Update and Erasure or the right for individuals to update or request deletion of their personal data
- Portability or the right for individuals to request a machine readable copy of their personal data
Company Obligations
- Due Care requires that companies safeguard personal data
- Minimization requires that companies only collect personal data that is necessary for its intended purpose
- Privacy by Design requires that companies analyze what risks affect personal data and work to minimize those risks
- Notification requires that authorities are notified timely of any data breaches that affect personal data

The Text.Regex.PCRE module provides a backend for regular expressions. If you import this along with other backends, then you should do so with qualified imports, perhaps renamed for convenience.
You will need to have libpcre, from www.pcre.org, to use this module. The haskell must be compiled with -DHAVE_PCRE_H and linked with pcre. This is the default in the cabal file.
If you do not compile with 1 then the functions will still
exist, but using them will create a run time error. You can test for
the existance of PCRE by checking
getVersion which is
Nothing if
not compiled with PCRE or
String if PCRE is present.
Using the provided
CompOption and
ExecOption values and if
configUTF8 is True, then you might be able to send UTF8 encoded
ByteStrings to PCRE and get sensible results. This is currently
The regular expression can be provided as a
ByteString, but it will
be copied and a NUL byte appended to make a
CString unless such a
byte is already present. Thus the regular expression cannot contain
an explicit NUL byte. The search string is passed as a
and may contain NUL bytes and does not need to end in a NUL
ByteStrings are searched in place (via unsafeUseAsCStringLen).
String will be converted into a
CString or
CStringLen for
processing. Doing this repeatedly will be very inefficient.
The Text.Regex.PCRE.String, Text.Regex.PCRE.ByteString, and Text.Regex.PCRE.Wrap modules provides both the high level interface exported by this module and medium- and low-level interfaces that returns error using Either structures.

DARRINGTON — Mountain vistas, waterfalls, old woods, glacial lakes and wild rivers.
An estimated 5 million people visit Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest each year, making use of the 2,500 miles of Forest Service roads to see the beauty of the forest and get to the trails that take them deeper into it.
As part of cost-cutting in the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the U.S. Forest Service must pare down the number of roads it maintains. In Mount Baker-Snoqualmie, which stretches from the Canadian border to Mount Rainier, officials are under the gun to end spending for maintenance of about 75 percent of the Forest Service roads.
Ongoing now are public meetings at which the Forest Service is trying to find out which roads are most important to people who use them. Among the next meetings is one scheduled for Wednesday in Darrington.
Some people at previous meetings have shown support for closure of the roads, and not just as a cost-saving measure. Two lawsuits in recent years against Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest — one that sought to shut down repairs to the Suiattle River Road and another that accused the Forest Service of violating the Wilderness Act by refurbishing the historic Green Mountain forest fire lookout — make clear that some would rather see the wilderness left alone.
People in Darrington, however, plan to fight closures. They have alternative ideas to back up their arguments against decommissioning forest roads. And it isn't all about recreation or sightseeing.
A logging town, Darrington has suffered as timber sales in the national forest have declined.
Notable locals spent Saturday driving people around the forest to talk about their concerns and ideas. They were Mayor Dan Rankin, who owns a small mill; Paul Wagner, a member of the Society of American Foresters; and Martha Rasmussen, who leads a Darrington volunteer forest-roads maintenance group.
Rasmussen said her group has cleaned and performed maintenance work on nearly all of the Forest Service roads in the Darrington District of the forest. In 2012, Friends for Public Use put in more than 1,000 hours of volunteer work, cleaning culverts and ditches and cutting back brush along nearly 500 miles of forest roads. They also removed 14.5 cubic yards of garbage.
"Despite what some people say, these roads are not crumbling away," Rasmussen said. "We know because we take care of them."
Historically, the Forest Service goal has been to do the greatest good for the greatest number of people, and that has meant supporting rural economies and enabling access to recreation. U.S. Forest Service Chief Tom Tidwell has said that another goal is to get children into the forests.
"Forest Service conservation education programs inspire young people to start exploring the natural world around them, which develops a life-long appreciation for the environment," Tidwell said in May.
Rasmussen wonders, however, how young people will see the forest if the roads are gone. Many day hikes already have been eliminated because of previous road closures, she said.
"The people who can visit all of the forest are those who are in great physical shape and who have lots of time to hike the many miles on closed roads to get to trailheads," Rasmussen said.
The national forest road system also is necessary for timber harvesting, which means jobs in towns such as Darrington, said Wagner, the forester.
Wagner contends that it's going to cost more to decommission roads in the forest than it would to maintain them for future logging and recreation. Decommissioning involves culverts being pulled out, roadways loosened, fill material trucked out and native shrubs planted.
"Decommissioning is destruction of public property," Wagner said. "Much of the existing roads system has endured 20 years of minimal maintenance. It's a testament to good design and the logging companies that built them."
More than 100 years ago, Congress established a self-supporting system that dedicated 10 percent of timber sales revenue to construction and maintenance of roads and trails, Wagner said. "Now the federal budget sends these funds to the treasury," he said.
As he drove the woods Saturday, Wagner pointed to places in the forest where its health is threatened by lack of active management. Thinning, prescribed burning and timber harvesting are essential for the health of a working forest, he said.
Forest Supervisor Jennifer Eberlien and Darrington District Ranger Peter Forbes won't argue with Wagner. His ideas are reasonable, but the Forest Service is dealing with limited personnel and budgets, Forbes said.
Rankin, Darrington's mayor, believes that many roads could be maintained by timber companies that want to harvest the valuable alder that has grown up alongside the roads. Alder veneer is a valuable product that can be stained to resemble other woods, he said.
By cutting the alder and allowing more daylight onto wet, leaf-covered roads, maintenance becomes easier, Rasmussen said.
Eberlien said she hopes many people show up to the remaining public hearings on Forest Service road closures.
"We need these conversations. The Forest Service is not going to solve this problem by ourselves," she said. "We're in this thing together."

Correction: The U.S. Forest Service plans to maintain only 25 percent of the roads in the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest because of budget cuts. The Forest Service will decommission some remaining roads while trying to keep as many open as possible. An earlier version of this story incorrectly said the federal agency would close all the roads it cannot maintain.

The paper this morning had a wire article about the Navy moving to station women aboard submarines. Apparently, male sailors' wives are objecting, on the grounds that this is "just asking for sexual harassment cases and wrecked marriages."
On blogs and online networking sites, wives of submariners have warned that the close contact could lead to sexual temptation and other complications.
"I completely believe this would put strain on some relationships because there are trust issues," said Jennifer Simmons, whose husband serves on a submarine at Kings Bay. "It's asking for sexual harassment cases left and right. If you're trying to go through a passageway together, guess what — you're going to touch."
You're going to touch. And that will constitute an irresistible temptation to something that can either wreck a marriage or lead to a harassment suit. (The harassment itself gets glossed over — what really ruins lives is being disciplined for it!) Sexual harassment cases and ruined marriages don't come from unscrupulous men, after all; they come from accessible women. No man has ever cheated with a woman who wasn't anywhere near him at any point, right? QED.
The assumption that men can't resist inappropriate behavior made me think of SP favorite Lord Saletan, who has rather unsurprisingly revealed himself to be Team Child Rape. For most of Saletan's article, the main head-smacker is his atrocious fact-checking — he assumes that a 1977 parole report's reference to "evidence that the victim was willing" means she said yes, when in fact it meant only that she'd had sex before. The trick of dredging rape victims' sexual history as though it's relevant is not exactly a 21st century invention, so while the victim's grand jury testimony made it painfully clear that she did not give consent, she was also made to admit that she wasn't a virgin. Apparently, in the minds of the people who drew up the parole report, this meant she was probably panting for it. Saletan's not the one who made this leap — he just let it be made for him, and didn't bother questioning it, because he's an intellectually lazy self-satisfied bag of wind.
The point where my eyes stopped rolling and started shooting fire, though, was when Lord S. pulled out this gem:
A guy who goes after 5-year-old girls is deeply pathological. A guy who goes after a womanly body that happens to be 13 years old is failing to regulate a natural attraction. That doesn't excuse him. But it does justify treating him differently.
See, if you rape a child who looks like a child, the problem is you. If you rape a child who looks like a woman, the problem is that women are just so damn sexy! It's just a natural attraction that you didn't regulate, you wicked thing. We don't condone it, tsk-tsk and all that — but really, did you see the cans on her? What were you supposed to do? Like the Navy wives, Lord S. thinks that just being near women is enough to turn a man into a bonobo. (Note to Saletan: Yes, there may be a moral difference between sex with a prepubescent child and sex with someone who is a willing and enthusiastic participant but immature. Breasts are not that difference. Oh, and this girl was not that participant.)
This isn't just a problem if you're underwater or at Jack Nicholson's house. We've recently had a number of dudes dropping in to complain that asking them to be sensitive to women's boundaries is essentially cock-blocking them. Sure, they say, if they don't talk to us when we clearly don't want them to, they'll be making us feel less threatened in a world where one in six women is the victim of sexual assault — but on the other hand, they won't get to talk to us, and how is that fair? Nothing interferes with a man's ability to score like a woman who doesn't think his ego trumps her safety. Underlying this argument, along with a host of other scuzzy notions, is the same idea Saletan spikes and the Navy wives catch: that taking a "womanly body" out in public is an a priori invitation for male attention. Of course dudes think they can get up in your grill — you're standing there being a lady at them, after all. And if you're on a crowded subway car together, you're going to touch. We all know what that leads to.
The flip side of this charming worldview, of course, is male anger at women who don't make themselves available — see many of our friends in that now-closed thread — or women who have the gall to have a body they find unattractive. That's the real problem with feminism, with fatness, with (for some pseudo-enlightened guys) the extremely thin beauty ideal: it's a boner-killer, and boner primacy is a paramount law of the dude cabal. You don't have to read very far between the lines of most troll comments to see that's what it boils down to: how dare you possess a womanly body I can't or don't want to fuck.
Then there were the guys who were clutching their pearls (if you know what I mean) in the epic thread, horrified that women might think they were a danger. After all, it's not their fault that women feel threatened — they're decent, humane guys. Maybe some men are dangerous, but not them, and aren't we really creating the problem by not letting them prove how decent they are all over us?
Those guys are right, sort of. There are lots of great men out there — you can tell who they are because when they read that thread, or Saletan's piece, they go "WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE?" And it really isn't fair that sometimes their wives also think they can't be trusted in a sub with 138 other guys and a lady. That's not their fault. But it's also not their wives' fault, or the ladies' fault. It's the fault of a culture that tells all of us, over and over, that men just don't have the ability to resist. A culture that assumes it's women's responsibility to keep themselves armored and invisible, because sexual violence is a direct result of temptation.
In other words, the same cultural bullshit that asserts men's right to invade women's personal space and/or fuck 13-year-olds also perpetuates the notion that men are more dick than brain. That's why they just have to talk to women, when they can see the women don't want to! That's why they get addled by a womanly body when they know it comes with a pubescent mind! They don't have the willpower or intelligence to not act like cavemen, at least not when faced with feminine wiles.
Fuck that noise! The real decent guys sure don't deserve that. And the pearl-clutchers, the ones who were horrified by our insistence that rape doesn't occur in the passive voice… well, who says they deserve it either?
In the epic thread (have I mentioned it's closed?), Kate explained why men don't get cookies for respecting boundaries:
[A]lthough you can't be 100% sure you haven't missed some sort of opportunity, you can be 100% sure that you haven't contributed to making a woman feel unsafe in public. Why the hell is that not seen as its own reward?
I promise you, guys, you will not miss out on meeting "the one" by erring on the side of caution here. You will still talk to loads and loads of women in your lives, some of whom will be both attractive and attracted to you, and will make their interest clear. You lose nothing by not talking to a woman when you can't quite tell if she wants to talk — and you gain the satisfaction of helping to create a culture in which women are treated with respect and can feel safe in public. Why do you keep insisting you're owed more than that?
But what if that's not good enough for you? What if you're the kind of self-styled decent guy who still doesn't feel like it's fundamentally worthwhile to contribute to a culture where women don't feel threatened because they aren't threatened? What reason do you have to forego the rape-joke T-shirts, notice body language signals, object to misogyny, back off when asked to, maintain a comfortable distance, or any of the other little things you can do to bring rape culture down by degrees? If the well-being of women isn't enough for you, consider this: patriarchy thinks you're fucking stupid. It thinks you're a penis without a brain that's worthwhile and powerful only because women are vaginas without brains and that's somehow worse. It thinks you're untrustworthy, that you can't be left alone with a woman, that you can't be left alone with a child. Feminists didn't make that shit up — they're just noting it and passing it on. You can decide what you want to do about it — but don't think you can pick and choose which of patriarchy's mandates apply to you. This is a package deal, my friend. If women's worth is only in fuckability, then men are just dumb fuckers. We think better of men. Do you?

The recruiting process can be exciting. It can also be overwhelming. Advice comes from a number of directions. Most of it is well intentioned, but it is not always well informed. Recruiting services offer advice and services for a fee, but they are not really necessary in an era when computers have built-in video editing software and a coach is a click or phone call away.
We're here to help!
We have sought the advice of our front line recruiters – our coaches – as to what they are looking for. We picked their brains for tips and tricks and have compiled them to help guide you in this process. While we will detail advice from a few coaches, there are some items that were universal in the feedback and need to be shared up front.
First, put your wallet away! A lot of people will be willing to edit and distribute your film and a profile. Don't pay for production value. Coaches are looking for talented students and athletes, not graphics and your favorite song. Almost every college has an online recruiting form that asks for the precise information a coach is seeking. Don't buy a service you don't need, just ask a coach what they are looking for - it is in their interest to tell you!
