AASL recognizes VCSU's graduate LIT concentration
Feb 27th, 2012 @ 8:07 am | Author:
The American Association of School Librarians (AASL) division of the American Library Association (ALA) has recognized the Library and Information Technologies Concentration of VCSU's online Master of Education program as a quality school librarianship program. VCSU is the only university in a four-state region (MN, ND, SD and Montana) with a nationally recognized program of this type.
"School library preparation programs that attain national recognition status from the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) and the American Association of School Librarians (AASL) have undergone a rigorous peer review process that examines a diverse array of data and key components tied to national standards recognized by the profession," said Carl Harvey, AASL President. "Nationally recognized school library preparation programs have demonstrated a strong commitment to excellence on behalf of their candidates and the P-12 students and communities they serve. By virtue of their recent national recognition, VCSU's faculty and staff have positioned themselves as strategic leaders in 21st Century School Librarianship."
Donna James, grant project director and Graduate Library Education Director at VCSU, said, "One of our goals for the original IMLS grant was to develop a high quality program that would qualify for ALA/AASL recognition. It is certainly rewarding to receive this notification." James is an advocate for library education in North Dakota and former North Dakota Library Association (NDLA) president.
The AASL reviews school librarianship programs affiliated with NCATE-accredited units. VCSU has been accredited by NCATE since 1954, and the University's online Master of Education has been accredited since 2005. The recognition is listed on the AASL web site and is available on
the NCATE web site
, and is effective until 2015 when NCATE will conduct an institution-wide review.
The LIT concentration is designed for practicing librarians who wish to further their careers with graduate-level credentials, or teachers outside the library wishing to add new credentials to their backgrounds. Previous recognition the program has received includes a $573,909 IMLS grant in 2007 and an ALA/AASL statement of commendation in 2008.
The curriculum and assessment tools were developed by a team that included Konnie Wightman, Library Media Coordinator (retired) for Bismarck Public Schools, and Gay Galles, Program Manager for Library Media Services for the Moorhead Area Public Schools (both also evaluate student data and are adjunct instructors in the program). The curriculum was designed to meet the AASL standards for initial preparation of school librarians which focuses on preparing school librarians who teach 21st century information literacy skills, collaborate with colleagues, advocate for the school's library program, and lead the school community in the effective and ethical use of information.
Valley City State University (VCSU) prepares people for life through visionary leadership and exemplary practices in teaching, learning and service. VCSU is nationally acclaimed for attracting and retaining talented individuals who advance quality learning opportunities and economic growth through technology and innovation.

When the Oak Ridge boys basketball team takes the court in five days, it will be unlike any team that coach Aaron Green has had while coaching the Wildcats.
EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the second story previewing Oak Ridge High School basketball. The Lady Wildcats were previewed Wednesday.
When the Oak Ridge boys basketball team takes the court in five days, it will be unlike any team that coach Aaron Green has had while coaching the Wildcats.
The former 6-foot-2 guard will have to look up at most of his players.
The Wildcats influx of senior talent has them taller and athletic, something Green is going to have to adjust to.
Joining returners Nick Bradley (6-foot-8), Isaac Merian (6-foot-6) and Cory Fagan (6-foot-3) will be seniors Jalen Miller (6-foot-2) and Rashad Gray (6-foot-3). The two will join the team along with Rian Hall and Tim Grabenstein after the football playoffs end.
Green said even the assistants can't quite yet decide between who would start on any given night, but he does expect his team to still have the same high intensity it has had in the past. The staff has looked at placing both Wildcats big men, Bradley and Merian, on the court at the same time, but regardless of who is on the court, they still have to play solid defense and play unselfish until dual-sport athletes arrive.
"Especially early, our offense is going to be behind our defense simply because we put so much emphasis on how we play defensively and rebound the ball," Green said. "When you get everybody here, you basically have to start over.
"We only have about 11 practices before we play Knox Catholic on the 13th," he said. "We could probably practice for five hours a day and not get all what we need in."
The height may also change not only who plays with who but where and how.
"The way we play ... full court both ends of the floor, having a big team is not necessarily to our advantage but having some athletic guys who have some size, it's always good to have," Green said. "I'm changing a little bit from a philosophy standpoint of looking at a bigger lineup and maybe playing a little more zone."
The biggest challenge this season may be replacing three All-District 3-AAA seniors from a year ago. Gone are Kaseem Davidson, Will Thompson and Spencer Shoffner. With Hall returning, the point guard position should be shored up, but with two fewer sharp shooters, the Wildcats will be looking for Jaylin Henderson (6-foot), DeMaurey McClanahan (6-foot-0), Xavier Maddox (6-foot-3) and possibly Ted Mitchell (5-foot-9) to assist Fagan on the wing.
"Last year I could've named four off the top of my head," said Green when asked who could make a big shot. "Replacing those guys won't be easy."
Despite the changes, Green still expects the same type of high energy and tough defense that has been the hallmark at Wildcat Arena the last two years.
"We'll be as fun to watch as we've been the last two years," Green said. "We will get up and down the floor and our guys are going to play hard and carry themselves the right way."

DRM | GamePolitics
No SecuROM for Sims 3 according to EA. In fact no DRM except for the good old input your code and off you go. No hidden ring 0 DRM apps, no authorization limits, no annoying hardware issues, no phoning home to EA to report your activities, nada...nothing. This is probably because of the class action lawsuit EA was hit with over SPORE. Here's to hoping DRM's like Steam and SecuROM die a horrible painful slow death so we can get back to gaming instead of diagnosing problems caused by harmful DRM apps.
Steam is less intrusive to be sure but it is still DRM. If they would just digitally distribute the game and let us put in a code to play instead of having to phone home to Steam all the time I'd be much abliged. Perhaps companies are finally starting to see how DRM is not stopping the pirates and is hurting legitimate sales. If you pirate games you are a thief and a detriment to the PC but it is nice to see that EA is getting back to the business of publishing games for those who will buy them rather than punishing them to catch those who will never buy them. I know, I for one, will be buying many EA games in the future if they remove the DRM from them. Serial code's are fine for me and are so non-intrusive as to be a non-issue.
Hats off to EA for finally coming around. They have also released a DRM de-authorization tool so you can manage the authorization limits on any game released after May 2008. I guess this means that any game I buy for myself can also be used on my wife's computer. That is good news indeed.

The Nevada prison holding O.J. Simpson says there is no truth to a National Enquirer article reporting that the former NFL great was savagely beaten in a racially motivated attack.
"We're getting inundated" with calls from news media said Steve Suwe, the public information officer for the Lovelock Correctional Center, told USA Today.
The Enquirer story claimed that inmates cheered on a young skinhead as he beat Simpson to a "bloody pulp," knocking him to ground and inflicting serious injuries. It went on to say that Simpson, 63, spent three weeks in the infirmary while prison officials attempted to hush up the incident and that Simpson was now afraid to leave his cell.
"The Juice" is serving nine to 33 years for armed robbery and kidnapping in an armed confrontation with sports memorabilia dealers. Simpson contends the the incident was an attempt to retrieve stolen family photos and mementos.

Raiders trade Terrelle Pryor to Seahawks
The Oakland Raiders found a trade partner for quarterback Terrelle Pryor on Monday, shipping him to the Seattle Seahawks for a seventh-round pick in the 2014 NFL draft.
The Raiders confirmed the deal in a release.
NFL:Broncos use disappointing finish as fuel
DRAFT:Louis Nix has high motor at DT
The Raiders acquired Matt Schaub to be their starting quarterback in the offseason, all but signaling the end of Pryor's time in Oakland. With the offseason program set to begin Tuesday, there was urgency to sort out his future.
In Seattle, Pryor enters no better than third on the depth chart behind starter Russell Wilson and No. 2 Tarvaris Jackson, who just signed a fully guaranteed $1.25 million deal for 2014 last month.
"Terrelle is an incredibly explosive athlete and we're excited for him to come in and compete," said John Schneider, Seahawks executive vice president of football operations and general manager.
In 15 career games (10 starts), Pryor has completed 56.3% of his passes for 1,953 yards, nine touchdowns and 12 interceptions. He was a third-round pick in the 2011 supplemental draft and the last pick of late Raiders owner Al Davis.

Test batting tactics for the England tour
by Wasiq Khan
Published: 24th April, 2005
I believe there is general agreement that the fortunes of the BD team rest
on the batsmen. I do not think we can expect our bowling attack to get England
out twice in the test matches. Consequently the onus is upon our batsmen to
ensure that we put up a respectable show. It is time we begin to objectively
consider the appropriate tactics that our batsmen should adopt against the bowlers
we are likely to face.
The England bowling line-up is likely to consist of the following - Harmison
and Hoggard to open, Simon Jones or James Anderson first change and Giles as
the tweaker. Flintoff is not playing.
Firstly - our batsmen should be able to play Giles. If they cannot, on pitches
that are not conducive to spin, then we really shouldn't be playing at this
level. I would hope that Giles should not pose a problem.
This leaves the pacers. Harmison relies on speed and takes wickets in bursts.
He said so in a recent interview with the Independent. In the same interview
he said that the South Africans had figured him out, left most of his deliveries
alone and that he did not expect the Australians to do so given their attacking
tendencies! This statement is quite telling for the following reasons:
So, in order to tackle Harmison, our batsmen primarily have to leave anything
that is outside of offstump or going down the legside alone. Our batsmen are
short and one of the most difficult things for a tall fast bowler to do is to
figure out the appropriate length to bowl at a shorter batsman. Anything pitched
at or short of "conventional" good length (i.e. for batsmen of average
height) can be ducked under. Harmison will then be forced to bowl a fuller length
which will reduce his pace and lead to half-volleys that could be put away.
Frustration will set in and his potency would be neutralized. Once again, Harmison
is no Mcgrath.
Jones/Anderson can be dealt with similarly. These two bowlers seem to have
lost a bit of the "zip" that characterized the early part of their
careers. If Harmison and Hoggard can be seen off I would not be surprised if
Ashraful or Saleh actually have a go at them.
Which brings us to Matthew Hoggard. He is in the best form of his life and
I have to admit at this point that I am not sure how best to deal with him.
As a swinging bowler Hoggard pitches at a much fuller length which, given our
batsmen's tendency to prod and poke, could prove to be fatal. All I can think
of is to send in a right-left opening combination to upset his rythm.
I believe that if our batsmen think long and hard about the bowling they are
going to face and apply themselves very very diligently, they should be able
to post scores that will give our attack something to bowl at. They should use
their height disadvantage to their favour by ducking. Most importantly, they
must learn the art of leaving balls alone. Honestly, I do not think that anyone
in the current England attack is capable of bowling deliveries which "follow"
the batsmen - and are thus the most difficult to defend - at an appreciable
pace. If our batsmen do their homework properly and bat TO A PLAN then the English
pace attack should not hold any devils for us.

Made almost 70 years ago, it remains one of the most famous photographs—perhaps the most famous photograph—of the 20th century: a sailor kissing a nurse in Times Square on V-J Day in August 1945.
That simple, straightforward description of the scene, however, hardly begins to capture not only the spontaneity, energy and exuberance shining from Alfred Eisentaedt's photograph, but the significance of the picture as a kind of cultural artifact. "V-J Day in Times Square" is not merely the one image that captures what it felt like in America when it was announced, after a half-decade of conflict, that Japan had surrendered and that the War in the Pacific—and thus the Second World War itself—was finally over. Instead, for countless people, Eisentaedt's photograph captures at least part of what the people experience when war, any war, is ended.
(It's worth noting that many people view the photo as little more than the documentation of a very public sexual assault, and not something to be celebrated.)
Here, LIFE.com presents not only Eisenstaedt's storied photograph—and a picture of the man himself, along with a companion, in the midst of the hoopla (at right)—but photos made around the country by other LIFE photographers as word spread that Japan had, indeed, surrendered.
(The ceremony officially ending the war would not take place for another few weeks, when Japanese representatives signed the documents of surrender aboard the USS Missouri battleship in Tokyo Bay on Sept. 2, 1945.)
While the joy and relief that surged through the entire country—and across much of the globe, or certainly across those parts of it in which the Allies held sway—was heartfelt, the celebrations in many major cities were hardly all sweetness and light. In fact, as several of the pictures and captions here make clear, some of the tumult unleashed by word of Japan's surrender quickly devolved into what can only be described as riots.
Booze flowed; inhibitions were cast off; there were probably as many fists thrown as kisses planted: in other words, once the inconceivable had actually been confirmed and it was clear that the century's deadliest, most devastating war was finally over, Americans who for years had become accustomed to almost ceaseless news of death and loss were not quite ready for a somber, restrained reaction to the surrender. That response would come, of course. In time, there would be a more considered, reflective take on the war and on the enemies America had fought so brutally, and at such cost, for so long.
But in the giddy, chaotic first few hours after the announcement, people naturally took to the streets of cities and towns all over the country. And while some of the merriment was no doubt of a quieter, G-rated variety, it's hardly surprising that countless grown men and women seized the opportunity for cathartic revelry, giving vent to joy and relief as well as to the pent-up anxieties, fears, sorrows and anger of the previous several years.
In other words: the nation let loose.
That sort of revelry is not always pretty. Sometimes it can be downright ugly. But to pretend it doesn't happen (especially when a record of it exists right before one's eyes) does a disservice to history; to the memories of the men and the women killed and wounded in the war and of those who lived to mark its long-hoped-for end.
Finally, two small but significant pieces of information related to Eisenstaedt's rightfully famous "Kiss in Times Square" might come—especially when taken together—as a real surprise to fans of both photography and of LIFE magazine in general.
First, contrary to what countless people have long believed, the photo of the sailor kissing the nurse did not appear on the cover of LIFE. It did warrant a full page of its own inside the magazine (page 27 of the August 27, 1945, issue, to be exact) but was part of a larger, multi-page feature titled, simply, "Victory Celebrations."
Closely tied to that first point is the fact that, while the conclusion of the Second World War might be something LIFE magazine, of all publications, could be expected to feature on its cover for weeks on end, the magazine's editors clearly had other ideas. In fact, not only did Eisensteadt's Times Square photo not make the cover of the August 27th issue; no image related to the war, or the peace, graced the cover. Instead the magazine carried a striking photograph of a ballet dancer. An underwater ballet dancer.
War is over! that cover seems to say. After years of brutal, global slaughter, our lives—-in all their frivolous, mysterious beauty—can finally begin again.
Amen to that.

(Ambient tribal music)
A distant buzz gets tie up to our ear lobe, introducing the fascinating inter continents journey of "Seelenwanderer". This drone line shakes some spasms, creating the first illusion of rhythm of "Nachtstaub Intro". A meshing of percussions and pulsations gets graft to this structure ambiosonic which is finely jerky, forging a rhythm as linear as a test of cardiac arrhythmia which will lead us to the very dark and glaucous ambient passage of "Zwischenspiel I". It's "Tag der Spinnen" which will seduce in very first our ears. On very restful layers of violins and the ambient airs of a very ethereal flute, the music pounds delicately with percussions of any kinds and a line of bass sequences which makes roll its palpitations in perfect anaesthetising cycles. And if we are not convinced yet of what we have between ears, "Der Gesang der Steine" shows it to us for good with a long ambiospherical structure where drones, flutes, percussions and effects weave these clanic sound panoramas that Steve Roach developed in his famous Dreamtime Return phase. "Seelenwanderer" is an album of ambient tribal music with some very blazing effects of reverberations which glitters of the music of the five, or seven it's according to, continents. In a long fresco of 68 minutes, where every title is very solidly connected from each other, the duet visits the rhythms and the ambiences of India with "Schattenspiel" and its notes of Sitar blocked in the turbulence of winds and percussions, of Asia with the quiet "Tropfsteine" and its beautiful fluty lullaby, of the peoples of Australia with the much ambient "Der Schwarm" which also suggests a beautiful electronic Berlin mood approach, as well as the landscapes of ices from the deserts of coldness with "Folge dem Ruf" and its very acute effects of reverberations. Between these phases, "Seelenwanderer" proposes some nice moments of meditative serenity, like the saga of Zwischenspiel, and also offers us a superb ambiospheric and ambiosonic passage with beautiful titles like "Elysium", "Wandernde Seelen", "Höhlentraum" and "Zwischenspiel IV" which lead us to the finale of "Seelenwanderer" where "Nachtstaub Outro" loops the loop with an end which refuses to die.
Traumkraft signs here a very beautiful album in "Seelenwanderer". An album which depicts in all correctness the meaning of its title where we imagine easily a hermit doing a road trip around the world in music. Here, the ambient music and the music of ambiences unify borders in a very beautiful mosaic of tribal elements brought together from the 4 corners of the globe. Marc Iwaszkiewicz is rather impressive in the choice of his percussions and in the inspirations which emanate from his reverberations. But we should not forget Wolfgang Barkowski's inspiring play which adds a very beautiful depth at the level of the intrusive rhythms and ambiences which take at times a tint of unrealism. A very beautiful album which actually has to receive all the attention which it deserves.

Apres bar Chair 9 to feature Belly Up-booked musicians
The Aspen Times
The Little Nell Hotel's new apres bar, Chair 9, which opens this Friday, will feature performances from Belly Up-booked artists.
With eight chair lifts on Aspen Mountain, Chair 9 represents a ninth and final stop for apres festivities. It will open in the same space as the now-closed Terrace Bar, with what organizers call a more casual approach to dining.
"It's a big departure from what the Nell has always been," the hotel's general manager Simon Chen said. "It's meant to be affordable. It's meant to be approachable."
Most items on the food menu will be priced under $15, including oysters, shrimp, crab legs and lobster, as well as chicken wings and sliders. The drink menu will feature beers starting at $6 and cocktails starting at $9, along with a selection of wines, sparkling wines and champagne by the glass.
The bar will be open daily from 2 to 8 p.m., and will include a live band or DJ from 4 to 7 p.m., through an agreement with the Belly Up Aspen. Chen held a similar agreement at a hotel in San Diego, Calif., where he worked with Belly Up Tavern co-owner, Steve Goldberg, brother of Belly Up Aspen owner Michael Goldberg. Chen said its a good opportunity for bands to showcase their music and garner interests for performances later that night.
"Basically, if people see the bands here, and they go, 'Wow, I really liked them,' then, obviously, the goal is to get them to book tickets and go over and see them live at the Belly Up later that night," Chen said.
Michael Goldberg said he thinks the season-long agreement is an interesting one, adding that there will be a variety of acts.
"It's good for the artist. It's good for us, because people get exposed to different genres, and people might like them," he said, adding that it will enhance the apres experience.
Chair 9 also will feature three 60-inch flat screens, where patrons can view football games and snow-sport films.
A full list of scheduled acts is online at TheLittleNell.com. Opening on Friday is Colorado artist Matthew Moon, who lists Paul Simon, Hall & Oates, Styx and REO Speedwagon as influences on his Facebook page.

Montu's Egyptian-Themed Trenches | Memorable Coaster Moments
Fly through Egyptian-themed trenches like you're Luke Skywalker making that famous attack on the Death Star on Montu at Busch Gardens Africa (Tampa, FL). I'm no historian when it comes to BGA, but it appears to me that Montu was added to the park in a flat area close to the entrance that may have been a part of the parking lot. Rather than just plop the ride on the flat terrain (like many parks would do), Busch worked with Bolliger & Mabillard to spice up the ride's layout. Other inverted coasters, like the Batman clones and Cedar Point's acclaimed Raptor had no interaction with ground and plopping down a coaster on a plot of land had to be cheaper. But thankfully, Busch and B&M went the extra mile.
After the initial swooping drop (that's a trademark of many B&M's) and the opening loop, Montu takes its first subterranean dive as it flies through a tunnel. Then after an immelmann and heartline roll, Montu performs a batwing inversion. Similar to a corkscrew (or wingover) the train rolls over and down into a short Egyptian-themed ditch (pictured above). Later in the ride, the train dips low several more times giving the feeling of Luke Skywalker in the attack on the Death Star.
What do you think of Montu and its theming? Leave a comment below.

For just the third time in twelve match-ups, the UMBC men's lacrosse team will host Johns Hopkins University at UMBC Stadium when the two squads face off on Saturday, March 8 at 1:05 p.m. The Retrievers (2-1) have won two straight games in their current four-game homestand, while Hopkins has moved up to No. 3 in the USILA rankings with a 4-0 start. Gary Stein and Kevin O'Neill have all the play-by-play action on Q1370 AM (www.q1370.com), beginning at 12:55 p.m. and video streaming is available via the America East digital network.
RETRIEVER UPDATE: SR A Matt Gregoire led a balanced attack with a career-high five goals and the Retriever defense held Richmond to a season-low five scores in a 14-5 victory in chilly conditions at UMBC Stadium on March 1. Gregoire has now scored nine goals in his last two games. UMBC held Richmond to five goals, the fewest allowed since the 2010 squad defeated Rutgers, 6-5, on Feb. 27, 2010. Red-shirt FR G Connor Gordon came up with double-digit saves for the second consecutive game, posting a 11 stops. He allowed four of the five UR goals and now has a 62.3 percent save mark, which is tenth-best in the nation. UMBC is eighth in the nation this week in face-off winning percentage (62.5%) and SR face-off specialist Phil Poe is 11th at 62.7%.
LAST YEAR'S MEETING/SERIES UPDATE: Wes DiRito made nine saves in his first career start, but No. 6 Johns Hopkins ran out to a 5-0 lead in the first quarter and held off UMBC, 13-7, at Homewood Field on March 8, 2013. Scott Jones and Pat Young each scored two goals to lead the Retrievers. UMBC outshot Hopkins 35-33 and won the ground ball battle, 34-28.

I'm behind a Honda Element with three bullet holes across the back. You guessed it — West L.A., specifically that gritty stretch near the Overland exit. No, I don't know for sure that they are real bullet holes. But in this end of town, I just assume everything I see is authentic.
I am on my way to Hunger Games Training, a Saturday class in the Cheviot Hills Recreation Center, near Fox Studios. Archery. Self-defense. Primping. Sarcasm. The four horsemen of the Apocalypse. If you were looking at how to behave during some sort of cataclysmic meltdown, where better to learn?
Hunger Games Training is either the most brilliant little piece of marketing I have seen in ages or just another way to rip off a pretty good book. Because I like to think the best of people, I think it's brilliant.
"I wanted to meet like-minded lethal folks who enjoy young adult novels," is how another student, Michael Taylor, explains being here.
Can you tell Taylor's a writer? Can you tell he lives in Studio City?
Me, I don't like writers who go around mocking everything. I, and most of the 20 other Hunger Games students, are here to learn how to kill things with a bow and arrow, or how to kick-box an attacker in dim light — or, at the very least, poke someone's eyes out, like in "The Three Stooges."I highly recommend that flick as well. If they ever hold a Three Stooges survival class, I'm in (and you're coming with me).
Anyway, back to Hunger Games for a second. One of the first things martial arts instructor Philippe Til of Origin Motion Fitness suggests is that if an armed thug demands your car, just give him the keys. I laugh, because my car is about to blow up anyway, a ton and a half of Hessian metal hiss-popping at stoplights. It is the only vehicle I've ever owned with a sense of ennui.
Yet, Til is the perfect guy to teach a martial arts class in West L.A. He is movie star handsome and moves like a lemur. He speaks with a hint of his native French, and when he says, "Suppose I was trying to attack you ..." several of the female participants visibly swoon.
In the first half of the three-hour class ($75 on the travel and adventure website Zozi), we learn how to duck away from an attacker, and if that doesn't work, pound his genitals with our feet.
The assumption, which I find pretty sexist, is that all attackers are men. Historically, this may be accurate, but it's not very inclusive. I have two daughters, both of whom could kick my keister and one day will — probably the frantic morning of their weddings when they discover I put a $10,000 limit on the open bar.
"You guys are now trained bad-asses," Til says when we are done.
"Or just asses," another student mumbles.
The archery portion of the class is taught by Alejandro Barahona, who did not put his bow down once. I took that as a sign that danger was eminent.
Evidently, the most important part about archery is that you not shoot your fellow archers. I think that goes against the sport's original spirit: to kill villagers across the highlands and the occasional musk ox that wanders into the kitchen looking for scraps.
In fact, Barahona spends a ton of time talking about safety, then helps us determine which is our "dominant eye," so we know whether to shoot left- or right-handed.
As luck would have it, I have no dominant eye. Just submissive eyes. Which probably explains why I'm now missing a toe.
"The things you would do naturally are wrong," notes classmate Erin Buena, of the counterintuitive techniques in archery.
But it's fun, this class, and the fellow students are friendly without being look-at-me obnoxious. That's quite an accomplishment, given that a couple are actresses, and several others act like actresses, especially the men (the core of the young-lit market).
Best of all, we discover that the Cheviot Hills archery range is free — equipment too. You need to take a beginner's class first, and the Hunger Games course qualifies as that.
"Hmmm, I didn't know you could do anything for free in L.A.," says student Stephanie Eastman.
Me either. And it only cost me 75 bucks to find out.

Welcome to VWSyncro.co.uk (and now also VWSyncro.net). If you're into VW's Syncro (4x4) vehicles then this is probably the place you're looking for.
I think it's fair to say that the majority of our forum members favour the syncro cars rather than the vans although the number of van owners has also been growing steadily and there's no official bias here - all syncro owners (and potential/ex syncro owners) are welcome.
Whilst it might look like it's been a bit quiet on the updates front this is with good reason - we've been beavering away in the background working on code updates which should mean we can build the next version of this site. In the mean time thanks to our growing number of forum members for making this the phenominal resource is has become :)

Taite Music Prize: Independent Music NZ Classic Record award
7th April 2014
The Taite Music Prize: announcing this year's 'Independent Music NZ Classic Record' award
IMNZ is proud to announce the second award to be presented at this year's Taite Music Prize 2014 event. The ceremony is to include the 'Independent Music NZ Classic Record', which aims to acknowledge New Zealand's rich history of making fine albums that continue to inspire us and define who we are.
The panel to determine the recipient of this new award was made up of a broad section of music media/industry specialists, who have given the nod in 2014 to the 'AK.79' compilation album (Ripper Records, RPR1, December 1979) as one of NZ's classic records. The award is scheduled to be presented by Kerry Buchanan (The Terrorways) and will be accepted by Ripper Records head Bryan Staff.
When told of the news this week, Bryan Staff said: "That's fantastic! Dylan Taite was a friend whom I respected so this is a great honour."
Duncan Grieve, freelance journalist and judging panel member said: "'I met her outside the IGA/ True Love works in funny ways' is well-known to be the finest in New Zealand songwriting history, and one of the many splendours AK.79 contains. It's a collection of scrappy DIY pop, which feels like the first unified and exuberant shot from a rising young generation determined to make themselves heard. That sense of empowerment shines through every one of these sometimes derivative, often shambolic, always deeply felt recordings."
"AK.79 – a riff-happy thrill-athon that is far and away the best local punk compilation this country has produced…Underneath the obvious aggression of these songs you can hear pure joy - the sound of working class New Zealand youth, who were bored to death with the flabby indulgences of prog rock, bursting forth with a rude, rowdy and exciting pop music of their own. As it says in the liner notes '…each song nails down a moment during what was a hot time for New Zealand rock'n'roll'." – Grant Smithies, Soundtracks: 118 Great New Zealand Albums (2007)
"Musically quite brilliant in (many) places and truly iconic, AK.79 is a tribute - not only to the bands who played in the scene - but also to the vision of Bryan Staff, without whom, much of this music and history would have been lost." – Simon Grigg
The Taite Music Prize 2014 event is held on Wednesday, 16th April in Auckland and is an invite-only ceremony.
SJD, last year's winner of the Taite Music Prize, is scheduled to perform a live set for the gathered guests. The event will live-streamed to the public via NZ Herald Online and will be recorded by JuiceTV.

Thirty-three thousand people in Anthem Blue Cross HMO plans are receiving letters reassigning them to new doctors starting January 1st of next year.
The insurance company says the change has nothing to do with the Affordable Care Act.
Darrel Ng from Anthem says state law requires that policyholders be notified when a contract ends.
"Anthem Blue Cross did approach Sutter about extending the contract at the current terms, but Sutter declined. So therefore we had to send the letters out," says Eng.
But Sutter Health says the reassignment letters were unnecessary.
It says it hopes to reach a contract with the insurer by the end of the year.
In that case, Anthem members can call the insurer to be reassigned back to Sutter.
Even if an agreement is not reached, Sutter says Anthem could have allowed patients six more months to find new doctors.

T-Mobile pushes consumer mail
All you need is shove, apparently
T-Mobile is inviting UK consumers to join the pushy set by offering genuinely-pushed email to a custom client, for a small consideration of £3.50 a month.
The service connects to up to five existing email accounts and alerts the client to connect and download new messages using a silent SMS notification, in much the same way as the BlackBerry service works. Users have to download the client application, but anyone signing up will get a free month's usage before the monthly fee kicks in.
Four clients are available, though the information site is only listing support for Symbian handsets from Nokia we're assured that T-Mobile has clients available for Windows Mobile, Sony Ericsson UIQ and Nokia S40 devices too. The important thing is being able to launch the client on receipt of the SMS notification - something supported by an increasing number of Java implementations as well as native clients.
Of course, most on-phone email clients can be configured to automatically connect to the internet and download new messages every few minutes, making T-Mobile's new service redundant as it's launched. But some users won't want to bother configuring the integrated client, while others will worry about the impact on their data traffic.
The service has its very own fair-use limit, beyond which T-Mobile will slap wrists but not charge more, so the service might appeal to those knocking their data tariff limits. Still, it's hard to imagine that such heavy users would be happy sharing their email passwords with T-Mobile.
So mainly this is a service for those who want easy access to their email, or just want to pretend their communication is as important as their BlackBerry-sporting colleagues. ®

The Biggest Loser host blogs about the return of the show and how she kicked off 2014
Alison Sweeney is the host of NBC's The Biggest Loser, the award-winning star of Days of Our Lives, and author of The Star Attraction and The Mommy Diet. She's also a director, producer, wife and mom. Like she has for the past three seasons, Alison will blog each week about the latest episode of The Biggest Loser. Follow her on Twitter: @Ali_Sweeney.
Happy New Year! I hope all of you had a great holiday! I was able to take time off to be with my family and we had a blast skiing and snowboarding. Then I rang in 2014 by riding with the Medieval Times horses in the Tournament of Roses Parade. What a fun way to celebrate the New Year!
It seems like everyone is joining up with the Biggest Loser contestants at the start of 2014 – new health regimes are a great way to start the year right. But the contestants never take a holiday from their continuing quest for health. We are now back to finish their journeys with them. Watching the recap of the season so far once again made me so proud to be part of such a rewarding show.
When we left off in December, I'd just brought the eliminated contestants back to the weigh-in room – and now one player was going to earn a spot back on the Ranch.
Alison Sweeney: How to Balance Workouts with Work
The weigh-in was incredibly intense but there was so much to celebrate with all the weight each contestant lost since leaving campus. It was great to celebrate their accomplishments as a group and to check in prior to the live finale in one month. In the end, Bobby regained a spot in the house and the competition was back on.
Speaking of competition, the day at the beach for the week's challenge was brutal. It was such a hot day and such a steep hill that the contestants had to climb over and over to finish. Jay definitely got off to a strong start, set the pace and earned the victory. In the end, Tanya and Bobby really had to fight to not finish last. Bobby prevailed and Tanya was given a one-lb. penalty for the weigh-in.
We started the weigh-in by welcoming Tanya to "one-derland," which is always a huge celebration for the contestants. Then Bobby got on the scale and celebrated having lost more than 100 lbs. since starting on the show. David continued the momentum with a 12-lb. weight loss for the second week in a row. Chelsea celebrated a 6-lb. weight loss. Rachel joined the celebration by losing 99 lbs. since starting on the Ranch and she received high praise from Jillian.
Bobby Saleem: Bob Harper Gave Me the Strength to Come Out
Then Jennifer hit the 180s and Jay reached a 105-lb. total weight loss. Marie proved to Jillian that she wants to be a contender with a 4-lb. weight loss, which kept her safe for another week. Tumi ended the week's weigh in with a 4-lb. weight loss but that wasn't enough for her to avoid the yellow line with Tanya.
In the end, Tumi proved to be the biggest competitor and the other contestants voted for her to be eliminated. She achieved so much while on The Biggest Loser. My hope is that once she goes home, she reunites with her fiancé and continues the work she started while on campus.
My favorite moment of the week was watching all the contestants finish the challenge despite heat and exhaustion. I'm so proud of their determination to now finish everything that they start.
Make sure to tune in next week when the contestants, trainers and I are at the Olympic training facility in Park City, Utah!

Okay guys, I was looking through the 'for kids' section and I noticed that I didn't yet submit a tutorial on "how to draw a fairy for kids", step by step. Of course you know I had to fill this need right away so, what I did was make a lesson that will show all you novice artists how to accomplish the task of drawing a fairy in a very easy manner. One of the things I love about drawing stuff for kids, is how fast I can get a drawing done. It literally takes me about forty five minutes to make one 'for kids' drawing lesson from start to finish. That's including the drawing, the tutorial, and all the coloring and background creation. With this tutorial you are going to have so much fun because you will be able to follow each step with ease. Before you know it, you will be an independent artist with the ability to draw anything you want, including this fairy you see before you now. I guess that's it guys, have fun as you "draw a fairy for kids", and be sure to add some personal touches to make your drawing unique. Thanks and see you later with some more drawing fun!

near the end when Max finally tells Furiosa his name. I loved how it wasn't just telling her his name, but an assertion and reaffirmation of his identity, sanity, and his role as protector. I thought that was a perfect way to resolve his internal conflict, and endure him to Furiosa and the wives.

Serious kidney damage increasing, research shows
Acute kidney injuries have more than doubled since 2000, causing nearly 39,000 deaths in 2009 alone, according to a new study.
Severe infections, heart failure, trauma, bad reactions to medication or surgical complications can all cause sudden declines in kidney function, but it's not yet clear which — or which combinations — of these is driving the 10% annual rise.
It's possible, researchers say, that some newer medications are damaging kidneys, or that pneumonia strains are getting more dangerous. Or maybe it's simply that treatments for other diseases, such as sepsis infections and respiratory failure, are getting better, while treatment for acute kidney disease isn't.
"That would be my guess," says Ramon Bonegio, who studies acute renal failure at the Boston University School of Medicine and is an attending physician at Boston Medical Center.
There are no drugs to reduce the incidence or severity of acute kidney injuries, though several are under development, says Bruce Molitoris, president of the American Society of Nephrology.
In the new study, published Thursday in the society's journal, researchers reviewed 1.9 million U.S. hospitalizations due to acute kidney injuries. Only the most serious injuries, which required patients to go on dialysis, were counted.
Although acute kidney disease is far more common among African Americans than whites, the study found that increases were consistent across races, genders and from middle age up, says Raymond Hsu, a study author and research fellow in the division of nephrology at the University of California-San Francisco.
Molitoris, also a professor of medicine at Indiana University, says he was surprised by the high rate of increase Hsu found but does not doubt his conclusions.
"I think awareness is a big issue," Molitoris says. "It's an under-recognized major complication in the hospital."
Hsu and Molitoris drew a distinction between the acute kidney injuries that were the subject of this study and the chronic kidney disease that can come with diabetes, hypertension or immune conditions — although chronic kidney disease can lead to acute injuries.
With chronic kidney disease, which affects a quarter of those over 60, once a patient needs dialysis, the kidneys have been damaged beyond repair. In acute kidney injury, dialysis is meant to be temporary, until the kidneys can recover their ability to filter the blood. Nearly one-quarter of those with acute kidney injury die before they can be taken off dialysis.
Hsu says the high death rate suggests that dialysis may be overused in some of the sickest patients, who should be given a choice — before they're acutely ill — about whether to pursue a painful procedure that may do little to extend their lives.
"Would they want those invasive measures?" asks Hsu. "By the time they reach us, they are already too sick to express those wishes."
Hsu says he next hopes to study patients who do well after an acute kidney infection and dialysis, to better understand their recovery process and translate it to those with worse outcomes.

WASHINGTON – The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has announced two new grants to support Secretary Eric K. Shinseki's goal of ending Veterans' homelessness in 2015. Under these new programs, homeless providers can apply for funding to enhance the facilities used to serve homeless Veterans, and acquire vans to facilitate transportation of this population.
"Those who have served this Nation as Veterans should never find themselves on the streets, living without care and without hope," said Secretary Shinseki. "Homeless prevention grants provide community partners with the opportunity to help prevent and end homelessness on the local level. This is a crucial tool to get at-risk Veterans and their families on the road to stable, secure lives."
Approximately $22 million in rehabilitation funds will be available to current operational Grant and Per Diem grantees as part of the effort to increase the useful life of the facilities previously funded under the program. VA expects current Grant and Per Diem grantees will apply for funding to rehabilitate their current project location and enhance the safety, security and privacy issues associated with the homeless Veteran populations they serve. A maximum of $250,000 is available per award and the award will not be more than 65 percent of the estimated total cost of the rehabilitation activity. VA has established funding priorities to support its oldest capitally funded projects.
In addition, approximately $2 million in funds will be available for current operational Grant and Per Diem grantees to assist in the acquisition of vans in order to facilitate transportation of Veteran participants to medical appointments, employment opportunities in the community, and facilitate grantees' outreach activities. The maximum award for a van will be $35,000. The amount of the award will not exceed 65 percent of the total cost of the van.
Applications for both awards are due to the Grant and Per Diem office by no later than 4 p.m. Eastern time on June 28, 2013.
This funding is available under VA's Homeless Providers Grant and Per Diem Program for current operational Grant and Per Diem grantees. The Grant and Per Diem Program provides community-based organizations with funding to develop and operate transitional housing and supportive services for homeless Veterans. The Grant and Per Diem Program has over 15,000 operational transitional housing beds nationwide.
The 2012 Annual Homeless Assessment Report (AHAR) to Congress, prepared by The Department of Housing and Urban Development, estimated there were 62,619 homeless Veterans on a single night in January 2012 in the United States, a 7.2 percent decline since 2011 and a 17.2 percent decline since 2009. The AHAR reports on the extent and nature of homelessness in America. Included in the report is the annual Point-in-Time (PIT) count, which measures the number of homeless persons in the U.S. on a single night in January 2012, including the number of homeless Veterans.

Old crop corn ended the day sharply lower which looks to be position squaring ahead of tomorrow's USDA Supply and Demand report. May corn finished 9 ¼ cents lower at $6.49 while December corn finished unchanged at $5.50 ¼. May soybeans finished 3 cents lower and may wheat finished 4 ½ cents higher.
With the July-Dec corn spread dropping 11 cents today, the market is obviously a little wary of heading into the USDA report with a full dollar premium in old-crop corn over new-crop. Wheat on the other hand had a relatively strong day, retracing some of its recent losses to corn.
The Weekly Crop Progress report shows corn at 7% planted which is well ahead of the 2% - 5 year average. Illinois alone is at 17% planted compared to the 1% - 5 year average. Spring wheat is also ahead of schedule at 21% (5 year average is 5%). Winter wheat conditions improved week-over-week by 3% in the good-excellent category. Wheat is now 61% good-excellent while at this time last year it was only 36%!
Tomorrow's Supply and Demand report will give us Old Crop carryout estimates as well as South American production. The quarterly stocks report showed a larger than expected drawdown in old crop corn stocks and will likely reduce their carryout estimates to reflect this. The average estimate for corn carryout is 721 million bushels (March USDA Est – 801 million). The average estimate for soybean carryout is 246 million bushels (March USDA Est – 275 million). The average estimate for wheat carryout is 792 million bushels (March USDA Est – 825 million).
The market is also estimating across the board reductions for corn and soybean production in both Argentina and Brazil. Last week the USDA Ag Attaché lowered their Brazilian soybean estimate to 66 million MTs (down 2.5 million). The question remains: will the updated figures in tomorrow's report be low enough to be considered bullish?

ALBANY, N.Y. – The UMBC baseball team rallied for five runs in the top of the seventh inning to turn a 5-4 deficit into a 9-5 lead to comeback and defeat Albany in game two, and complete a doubleheader sweep of the Great Danes, Saturday in America East play at Varsity Field.
The Retrievers took game one over the Great Danes, 4-2, as sophomore Riley Stephenson (Frederick, Md./Boonsboro) pitched seven quality innings and junior Jonny Dierks (Easton, Md./Independence/Fort Scott CC) shut the door for his second save. Stephenson (2-3) yielded just one unearned run on seven hits to pick up the win while Dierks faced the minimum six hitters in two innings, striking out three.
In game two, junior Bobby Applegate (Somerdale, N.J./Sterling/Gloucester County College) pitched two innings in relief of senior Mac Gill (Bethesda, Md./Walter Johnson) and benefitted from the Retrievers' rally to pick up the win (2-2).
UMBC (9-18, 5-6 AE) has now won three in a row while Albany (7-18, 4-7 AE) had dropped three of its last four conference games.
The Retrievers started the doubleheader brightly as freshman Kevin Lachance (Clifton, Va./Centreville) drew a lead-off walk and took second on a based ball. Sophomore Vince Corbi (Medford, N.J./Shawnee) followed with a single to put runners on the corners and then Lachance gave the visitors the early lead by scoring on a double play ball.
Stephenson worked out of trouble in the first, stranding two on base, and then left another runner on in the second. The Retriever offense backed him up further in the top of the third, pushing the lead to 2-0, as sophomore Mark Esposito (Bethany, Conn./Amity Regional) lined a single to center to bring in Lachance who had singled to start the inning.
Albany got a run back in the bottom half as Brian Bullard connected for a one-out RBI single to right to bring in Cory Kingston and cut the UMBC lead to 2-1.
Stephenson and Albany reliever Brendan Ryan then controlled the opposing lineups, throwing up blanks in three straight innings.
In the seventh, senior Brandon Coluccio (Freehold, N.J./Freehold Township/Brookdale CC) led off with a single up the middle and eventually came around to score on a fielder's choice off the bat of senior Rob McCabe (Philadelphia, Pa./St. Joseph's Prep) to extend the lead back to two, 3-1. Albany edged back immediately, however, with Richard Bacon scoring an unearned run in the home half.
The Retrievers tacked on an insurance run in the top of the ninth as Corbi yanked a single down the left field line and Lachance raced around from second to score. Dierks then sent down the Great Danes in order to preserve the win.
In game two, both offenses got going early as UMBC plated three in the first and Albany responded with two in the bottom half and a single run in the second to pull level. Junior Jake Barnes (Annandale, Va./Annandale) and sophomore Manny Colon (Williamstown, N.J./Buena Regional) knocked back-to-back RBI doubles for the Retrievers while Evan Harasta and Josh Nethaway got the hosts back in it with RBI singles.
The Retrievers retook the lead in the top of the third as Coluccio slapped a bases-loaded single to right and Corbi came in to score. Albany came right back again, though, with Kingston beating out an infield roller and Alex Lushkevich scoring from third.
Albany looked to steal a split of the day's doubleheader by scoring once in the bottom of the sixth for a 5-4 lead going to the final frame of the seven-inning contest.
The Retriever seventh got underway inauspiciously with a strike out, but Lachance drew yet another walk to put the visitors in a position to come back. Freshman Andrew Casali (New Canaan, Conn./New Caanan) then rolled a single through the left side to put two runners on and Corbi following by sending a single to center allowing Lachance to score and knot the game at 5-5.
Sam DeCelle then relieved starter Stephen Woods for Albany, but the Retrievers continued their rally with Casali and Corbi swiping second and third and then Esposito drawing an intentional walk. With the bases loaded, Barnes grounded into a fielder's choice, but Casali scored to give UMBC the lead, 6-5. After Colon was hit with a pitch to load the bases again, Coluccio ripped a single to left bringing Corbi and Barnes around to score to extend the advantage to 8-5.
The Great Danes then went to the bullpen again and McCabe, who pinch hit, welcomed Daniel Castro by stroking an RBI single to left, scoring Colon.
Applegate prevented any dramatics in the bottom half, getting a line out to start the frame and then fanning the next two batters.
UMBC and Albany will wrap up the three-game series on Sunday with a single game set for a 12:00 p.m. start.
- The game one victory was UMBC's first at Albany since May 11, 2007 and second since joining the America East in 2004.
- The two wins Saturday mark the first time that UMBC has won a series at Albany.
- UMBC also won the series opener when the teams met at Alumni Field back in March.
- Freshman Hunter Dolshun (Warwick, N.Y./Warwick Valley) had his 14-game hit streak snapped as he grounded out in his only plate appearance in game one. He was lifted in the bottom of the second due to an injury.
- His 14-game hit streak was the longest for the Retrievers since Joe Fowler recorded a 14-game streak during the 2008 season.
- Casali now has the longest hit streak for the Retrievers, extending his to 13 games with one hit in game one and a 2-for-4 effort in the second game.
- Lachance walked to start both games.

(AP) - A battalion chief for California's firefighting agency who is being sought in a murder investigation has now been fired from his post.
California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection spokesman Daniel Berlant says 55-year-old Orville Fleming, a battalion chief who has taught for several years at the department's fire academy in Ione, has not reported for duty or called in for five days.
Berlant says the termination was automatic because of Fleming's absence from work and has nothing to do with the allegations against him.
Last week, the Sacramento County coroner's office identified 26-year-old Sarah Jane Douglas as the woman whose body was found fatally stabbed Thursday in the south Sacramento County home she shared with Fleming.
