Early Alert system results in real student success
The college's Early Alert Steering Committee is excited to report that after a one-year pilot, more Columbus State students completed their classes and succeeded with a "C" or above when their instructors utilized the Early Alert system.
While Early Alert data indicates positive results across the board, preliminary data shows the greatest impact is on hybrid and distance learning courses. During spring 2013, student success rose by 10 percent and withdrawal rates were cut in half in hybrid courses, as indicated by the chart above.
"The Early Alert System has proven to be a powerful tool for faculty and students in distance education. It provided our faculty with a way to reach those students most at risk and get them back on track," says Tom Erney, dean of Distance Education & Instructional Support (DEIS).
An early alert system predicts and identifies students who may be at risk of failure in specific courses. The system provides early intervention/preventative actions to increase student awareness of tutoring and support services that are available at the college. Early Alert, nicknamed FOCUS by students, is a project of the college's Title III grant.
The Early Alert Steering Committee, led by Teddi Lewis-Hotopp, is made up of cross-department, cross-functional staff mostly from the Delaware campus. "Starfish" software was selected as the resource due to its ease of use, integration with our existing systems, cost, flexibility, and ability to send kudos to students who do well, in addition to warning notices.
Eleven courses chosen for the first pilot in 2012 yielded positive results. By Spring 2013, with the continued help and support of the Early Alert Steering Committee, DEIS, faculty, staff, and administrators, there were 325 active class sections in the Early Alert system.
"We are thrilled with the participation of faculty, advisors, and staff in using FOCUS, powered by Starfish," says Teddi Lewis-Hotopp. "With your help and support, we are beginning to see the fruits of your efforts and the impact on student success and retention. Thank you all for your continued help and support as we expand the system."
FOCUS became available college-wide on May 1. For more information on setting up Early Alert in your course or department, please contact Teddi Lewis-Hotopp, or Megan McWilliams at 287-5104. Read more here.
"Music of the Civil War" concert is tomorrow
The Library is pleased to announce a musical event featuring the Columbus State Saxophone Ensemble on Tuesday, July 2, at 6:00 p.m. in the 1st floor Multimedia Studio. "Music of the Civil War Era" serves as the overall title of a series of three concerts supporting the national exhibition currently on view in the library entitled, "Lincoln, The Constitution and the Civil War." The concert will be led by Thomas Lloyd, Director, and it is free to attend.
Former minor league player tapped as new men's basketball coach
DeAndre Walker
As Columbus State prepares for another academic year, students on the men's basketball team will be meeting with a new coach. DeAndre Walker has been selected to lead the Cougars for the 2013-2014 season.
Walker began his professional basketball career after completing a bachelor's degree in business management at Fairmont State University in 2005. He was most recently an assistant men's basketball coach at Ohio Dominican University from 2012-2013. Previously, Walker was a professional in the minor leagues playing for both the Columbus Cyclones and the Indiana Alleycats during the 2006 and 2007 seasons.
As a student assistant coach with Fairmont State University, Walker specialized in recruitment and player skill development. As an NCAA Division II player on the Fairmont Falcons, he helped lead his team to 18-10 and 19-11 respective records during his two seasons.
Coach Walker's philosophy is based on student-athletes achieving in the classroom in pursuit of their college degrees. Walker says, "I want to help cultivate life, academic and athletic skills for my student-athletes with a special emphasis on service to the community. I place a strong emphasis on personally supervising study tables to make certain that players maintain good grades."
The Columbus State Cougars men's and women's basketball teams begin practice on October 1.

Broadcasters in the Outfield on June 27
Tom McCarthy, Matt Stairs and Jamie Moyer to call Phillies game from centerfield
PHILADELPHIA- (June 25, 2014) - The Phillies broadcasting team of Tom McCarthy, Matt Stairs and Jamie Moyer will call the game from a special centerfield location for this Friday's game against the Atlanta Braves. This special broadcast booth location provides the broadcasters a unique view of the game, the players and the ballpark. This is the first time the broadcast has moved out of the position behind home plate for a full game in the 10 years at Citizens Bank Park. Friday's 7 p.m. Phillies vs. the Atlanta Braves game airs on Comcast SportsNet.
"This centerfield broadcast location will provide a unique viewpoint for Tom, Matt and Jamie, TV viewers and fans alike," said Comcast SportsNet's Phillies producer Jeff Halikman. "We are always trying to find new and interesting ways to present games to our viewers and this location is completely opposite from where Tom, Matt and Jamie normally sit, which will offer a different vantage point for everyone."
"We are all looking forward to seeing and calling the game from the fans' point of view on Friday," said Phillies broadcaster Tom McCarthy. "Citizens Bank Park is, by far, the best ballpark in baseball when it comes to atmosphere, proximity to the fans and sight-lines. To be in the stands with our fans for the duration of the telecast will be a different experience for everyone, and should bring an exciting new element to the game."
*This special broadcast is weather permitting.

D-Day: A message of thanks from paratrooper's saviors reaches across time
A "shocking" message of thanks from paratrooper's saviors reaches across time
Saratoga Springs
An email from France has taken a D-Day veteran back to his days as part of the largest military invasion in modern history.
Paul Calhoun was one of the first Americans to participate in the liberation of Europe during World War II when he parachuted behind German lines five hours before the Allies invaded France on June 6, 1944. Dropped in a swampy area about 10 miles from his intended target, he was later wounded and captured.
He escaped from the truck taking him to a German prison camp and hid in the Norman countryside. Weak from fatigue and loss of blood, he managed to evade other German soldiers and eventually came to a farmhouse, where — unsure of how he would be received — he warily knocked on the door. The farmer who answered was shocked to find a wounded, bedraggled American paratrooper there, deep in German-occupied territory. Despite the danger, the farmer delivered Calhoun to an underground network of French families who nursed his wounds and fed and sheltered him for nearly a week.
Seventy years later, Calhoun, now 92, lives in the Wesley Community in Saratoga Springs.
The former U.S. Army corporal was transported back to that exhilarating and dangerous time recently when he received an unexpected note and two photographs from Frenchman Jacques Gilles, who, when he was 8 years old, helped his mother and father rescue Calhoun.
Gilles had tracked down Calhoun to reintroduce himself and to say thanks ahead of the 70th anniversary of D-Day.
"It is a duty and an honor for us Normans to show our deepest gratitude to the young brave Americans who, like you, came to fight and, for many, to give their lives for our freedom," Gilles wrote in his email.
Calhoun was "emotionally shaken," family members said, when he received the message.
"Shocking," Calhoun said on Thursday. "It was 70 years since I last saw any of them," he said.
Calhoun was shot in his left hand. The bullet went through a knuckle, leaving the finger dangling. One of the photos shows Calhoun, his hand bandaged, and a young Jacques Gilles and others who helped hide him.
"I remember when they were fixing my finger, which was sort of a mess," Calhoun said. "Two little boys were sitting there just wide-eyed, staring at the blood, the splint and bandages."
Paul William Calhoun shared his remarkable story of survival with help from his 63-year-old son, Paul Walter Calhoun, who is dean of special programs at Skidmore College. He recorded a series of interviews with his father in 1980. Those and a 45-minute interview Calhoun agreed to last week are the only times he's spoken about his experiences in one of history's greatest military operations, his son said.
His first-hand account of his D-Day exploits is a testament to enduring relationships formed among people who were united by destiny.
The signal in the plane to jump was a green light. At 1 a.m. on June 6, 1944, Calhoun and his fellow paratroopers leaped one second apart from a mere 500 feet into the black of night. Their orders were to attack German installations and to secure the coast for the coming seaborne invasion.
Calhoun was a member of the 101st Airborne Division's 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, which would be immortalized in the 2001 HBO miniseries "Band of Brothers." Each paratrooper carried 95 pounds of equipment. Calhoun had two parachutes, a life jacket, a Thompson submachine gun, 240 rounds of ammunition, four grenades, a land mine, two knives, a 50-foot rope, two days of rations, a gas mask and a compass.
Calhoun's parachute opened as he watched Germans on the ground fire red and green tracer bullets at the plane he had just exited. He landed unscathed in a marsh.
When dawn broke, Calhoun and the 30 other Americans he was with realized they had been mistakenly dropped near Cherbourg, about 10 miles northwest of their target landing zone. They moved south, and at around noon on D-Day, the group became engaged in a firefight with a German unit. In the confusion of battle, Calhoun became separated from most of the other Americans.
It was a clear day, but he was wet and exhausted. He ditched his weapon, fearing it would attract the enemy, and waited in some tall reeds until dark with two other paratroopers from the 101st. They then entered a barn that led to a courtyard — where they ran into three Nazis soldiers. One fired and Calhoun fell to the ground, hit in his left hand.
He was captured and thrown into an underground concrete dugout. Calhoun never saw the other two Americans again.
More Information
WHAT: Frank DeSorbo, president of the D-Day Revisited Association and Patriot Flight Inc., hosts the 4th Annual D-Day Recognition and Remembrance Day. The event marks the 70th anniversary of the D-Day landings at Normandy, France.
WHEN: Noon Sunday
WHERE: Holiday Inn Express, Latham
WHO: Several survivors, elected officials and others.
In the morning, his captors put him in the back of a covered truck. When the truck stopped at a crossroads, Calhoun jumped out and rolled off the road. "I disappeared into the woods as fast as I could," he said. He hid under a haystack, but soon became desperate for food and water.
After scouting a farmhouse for hours, he finally approached and knocked on the door. He told the surprised man who opened it, "Je suis un Americain parachutist." He showed the Frenchman — later identified as Jules Lebredonchel of Le Theil — his finger and begged for help.
Lebredonchel, after consulting with others inside, took Calhoun in. Lebredonchel summoned friends, who took their surprise American guest to Jean-Baptiste Sauvey, who introduced him to Fernand Gilles, a schoolteacher who spoke English and was Jacques Gilles' father.
"They treated me very special," Calhoun said. "I felt very safe with them."
After about a week in hiding, Calhoun woke up one morning in the woods and heard some clatter. The Germans were retreating before the advancing Americans. The French who lived in the area celebrated with unrestrained joy, Calhoun recalled. They made him eat two large duck eggs to line his stomach so he could handle drinking Calvados, the powerful apple brandy made in Normandy.
"The most moving thing that happened was all the French gathered at their town hall, raised the French flag and sang 'The Marseillaise,' their national anthem," Calhoun said.
He hitched a ride with the U.S. infantry and a few days later rejoined the "Screaming Eagles" near Caen. Calhoun was the only lost member of his unit to make it back. He was sent to England for medical treatment and returned to the front lines at the Battle of the Bulge in December 1944, Hitler's last-gasp effort to reverse the Allied tide.
Gen. George Patton's Third Army eventually broke through the German defenses and within months the war was over. History credits the daring D-Day invasion with liberating western Europe from Hitler's Third Reich.
Calhoun was part of the hunt for Hitler at the Nazi dictator's Eagle's Nest fortress in Bavaria.
The war ended while he was stationed in Austria and he was shipped home to Philadelphia, where he was awarded a Purple Heart and Bronze Star and married his wife, Ruth. The couple had three children — Paul, Candace and David Lee.
"I was lucky, very lucky," Calhoun said. "I cheated death. I'm very thankful for the French people who helped me."
Calhoun exchanged Christmas cards with Sauvey and the elder Gilles, who sent him copies of the two pictures taken in France with his rescuers on June 9, 1944. Communication with the family ended in the 1960s after the Frenchmen died. It resumed on April 26 of this year when Jacques Gilles found an old Venice, Fla., address for Calhoun and tried to contact him by sending an email to the Venice town hall.
Calhoun had moved to Saratoga Springs from Florida in 2010 after his wife died. Kit McKeon, a West Point graduate and Venice City Council member, tracked down Calhoun at the Wesley Community and forwarded Gilles' message.
"The French who lived there have obviously never forgotten and won't," Calhoun's son said.
His father sent Jacques Gilles a letter on Monday.
"I will never forget the courage of your people in leading me through the woods to the farm where we met your father," Calhoun wrote. "They risked their lives if the Germans saw us."

The other day, I heard 2 expressions over a short period time on some TV show. I'm not even sure what show it was, but it was drivelrous, if you will. I wasn't really paying attention to the show as I was evaluating stats to make a few fantasy football moves. Anyway, the female character, who labeled herself eccentric (just as most eccentric people do) was adorned with lots of beads and loud jewelry and bright colored clothes, which was just about right, used both the expression "in my heart of hearts" and the expression "in my mind's eye". I have decided to ban these expressions – if you hear someone use one of these expressions, it is officially within your new legal right to levy a $20 fine against these people and collect it immediately.

i couldn't agree with you more.
sorry, i had to. but really, from my typing finger of fingers, i concur. i've heard of a world, in my foot's ear, where people really think about the colloquial phrases and cliches they use. i think that world is about 600 years old though, and there aren't any football commentators living in it.

May favorite is ending a thought with "you know?" (or in the Midwest dialect: "ya know?").

scott – "I'm just sayin'" is one of the greatest phrases in the English language. Don't take it away from me.
I'm just sayin'.

Yes Aaron. My personal favorite meaningless sentance add-on is "not for nothing". Best used when you are about to insult someone or something: "not for nothing, but your apt smells" . . . that might be a northeast thing, though . . . I'm just sayin . . .

i also am …. well, sometimes annoyed by, but pretty amazed at the power of phrases like 'i'm just sayin' — while overused, things like 'dude' (the king) and 'ya know' … are linguistically so much more than the sum of their parts.
dude – can be used to affirm (friend hands you a pabst on a bad day – "dude" with an attempt at a thankful smile) or refute ideas or actions (friend drinks all your pabst while you're taking a dump, leaving only warm zima). it's a name, it calls attention to flying objects, it questions someone's health/sanity (when used as a question when friend brings warm zima to your party), etc. etc. etc.
i'm just sayin' – there are rhetorical questions, this is like the rhetorical statement. you can leave out half of your argument/statement about something, and by using this phrase, imply that the guy who brought the zima can understand the rest – you dignify his intelligence and affirm that people make mistakes, and you don't need to spell everything out to him. "dude, zima? i'm just sayin." = "my friend, i see you've brought zima to my party. we both know that the only acceptable uses for such a drink are 1. drinking covertly out of sprite bottles while in class in highschool and 2. for consumption by women who otherwise wouldn't drink at our party. currently, we are neither in highschool calculus, nor are we in the company of such females. it is, therefore, inappropriate for you to have brought this drink to my home. please go to the store, and pick up some pabst, or some maker's mark, and you could also get some more italian sausages, as we are running low, and it's almost kickoff time." you can save so much time with this phrase, it's almost scary.
i was going to try and figure out some more, but well i'm at work and… ya know?

There are more untrustworthy, useless phrases—"let me be honest with you"-what, nothing you said previously was truthful?
"In my mind's eye" means nothing. I agree. "In my heart of hearts" has minimal value–it is the speaker's way of putting an exclamation point behind his sincere belief that …. whatever. Writing of "whatever" another word like the use of some swear words by some speakers that fill space and corroborate the listener's impression that the speaker is mentally lazy and inarticulate. I think Packergeeks should compile its own list of useless words and phrases, ban them and send them to sportcasters everywhere.
Good topic Andy.

that's frustrating. i put large blank spaces where the 'swear words' were lazily being used to fill space, and some autocorrect feature did away with them. so much for formatted jokes. that's what i get for falling to a new depth of nerd-dom, i suppose.

Like Crazy New York and a hipster
Felicity Jones, Anton Yelchin, and director Drake Doremus were in New York last night for the premiere of Like Crazy. Not sure why Anton looks so stunned in every photo. But Felicity, she has some good red carpet instincts, non?
Like Crazy opens on October 28th. Go see!
Am also attaching photos of Olivia Thirlby who was also in the attendance. I love her. A LOT. But... here... I feel like she's been dressed by a junior costume designer on the set of a film about the hipster movement directed by Garry Marshall.
P.s.Felicity was in a Dolce & Gabbana organza aubergine-print sheath dress and fine jewelry 18K yellow gold and ruby earrings.

Jeremy Glaser: For Morningstar, I'm Jeremy Glaser. One of the questions we get the most frequently is how are our [Morningstar Ratings for stocks] performing. I am here today with vice president of global equity and credit research Heather Brilliant who will help answer that question and see how our star ratings have done throughout 2012.
Heather, thanks for joining me.
Heather Brilliant: Thanks for having me, Jeremy.
Glaser: I know we don't like to focus too much on short-term performance. But the first part of this year has really been kind of a crazy ride, and I think it would be worth taking a look at how the star ratings have performed and how they have guided investors. For someone who is going in and buying those 5-star-rated stocks, how have they done so far?
Brilliant: In the first quarter of 2012, which is really the scope of what we'd like to discuss today, the 5-star stocks have outperformed the market overall. They were up about 16% in the first quarter versus a market [that was] up about 12%-12.5%. That's really great, and we're really excited to see that. But as you mentioned, we try not to anchor too much on short-term performance because when we are looking at the companies that we cover, we're really looking at a three-year time horizon over which we expect the stock price to converge to our fair value estimates.
Glaser: One of the things I know that the analysts spend a lot of time thinking about is competitive advantages and assigning a moat rating. Have we seen performance really differ a lot depending on wide-moat stocks versus narrow-moat stocks versus no-moat stocks?
Brilliant: Yes. There has been a tremendous difference over time. Over the long run you see wide-moat stocks outperform, and really if you look at wide-moat names that are trading at a meaningful discount to fair value, the cheapest wide-moat equities, there is tremendous outperformance over a longer period of time. In fact, it's something to the tune of 700 basis points annually during the last five years.
Another thing we saw in the first quarter specifically is that wide-moat stocks, generally speaking, underperformed the market. The reason for that is because wide-moat names are considered to be higher-quality companies, and we really saw what I would call a junk rally in the first quarter. So we saw the higher-uncertainty companies outperform low-uncertainty companies actually by a margin of 1,200 basis points, which is a huge outperformance for the high-uncertainty companies. The same holds true on the moat side, where narrow and no-moat companies meaningfully outperformed wide-moat companies.
However, if you look at the Wide Moat Focus Index which we use to show the performance of the 20 cheapest wide-moat stocks rebalanced quarterly, the important thing about that index is that we take valuation into consideration, too. And if you just look at the performance of the cheapest wide-moat stocks, the outperformance is meaningful. If you ignore valuation, moat does not tell you enough in the short term, but if you also take into consideration that valuation, it makes a huge difference.
Glaser: What about sector [performance]? Were there some areas of the market that really helped drive that outperformance and other areas where maybe it lagged a bit?
Brilliant: Yes. In the first quarter, the sectors where we had 5-star stocks that outperformed the market were in consumer cyclical and also in technology. I would point out though those areas are both also some of the top performers in the 1-star stock bin. So, the 1-star stocks also performed very well in the first quarter, even better than 5-star stocks. You see that a lot when we see junk rallies, as well, but those sectors also were the highest-rallying regardless of star rating.
Glaser: If the 1-star names are performing so well, does that mean a contrarian strategy--to basically just buy a bunch of 1-star stocks--makes sense in a long-term portfolio?
Brilliant: We don't think that makes sense in the long term. [Stocks with ratings of 1 star] can certainly outperform over a short-term period. For example, if you look over the first quarter, we saw 1-star stocks outperform 5-star stocks by about 100 basis points, but if you look over a longer-term time period, take a trailing three-year range, we saw 1-star names meaningfully underperform 5-star stocks by about 2,600 basis points. That's the kind of trend we see over the long term. We strongly encourage people to really focus on the underlying valuation when you're picking stocks.
Glaser: Then what's the best way to use the star rating? Are there any strategies that have been particularly successful during the last few years?
Brilliant: Yes. We track a portfolio around our research where we look at every stock that's in 5-star territory, and we buy it when it's at 5 stars and sell it when it's at 3 stars. If you followed our research that way, so buying everything when it's a buy and selling it as soon as it becomes a hold, then during the last three years, we have seen the returns annualized about 34%-35% for this strategy, 34.7% to be precise. That compares with a market return during that period of about 23%.
That's really meaningful, more than 1,000 basis points of outperformance. That's the kind of trend we see over time. We really think that the system works, and while we certainly have periods where our performance is not great, over the long run, we feel like we have a really solid philosophy that works really well for investors.
Glaser: Heather, thanks for the update. We're looking forward to hearing the second-quarter numbers when they come out.
Brilliant: Thanks, Jeremy.
Glaser: For Morningstar, I'm Jeremy Glaser.

NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - August 11, 2017) - The City of Parma, Ohio has become the latest Ohio city to take action against the manufacturers and distributors of opioid pain medications for their role in creating the opioid epidemic. The litigation is being led by Napoli Shkolnik attorneys Paul Napoli, Salvatore C. Badala, and Joseph L. Ciaccio.
Napoli Shkolnik is working with Cleveland law firm Climaco, Wilcox, Peca, & Garofoli, Co L.P.A. in its representation of Parma as well as several other Ohio municipalities, including the Cities of Dayton and Lorain who have already filed similar lawsuits. The lawsuit will seek to reimburse the city for all of its expenses and other effects of the fraudulent and deceptive marketing and negligent distribution of prescription opioids medications.
The City of Parma is located within Cuyahoga County, Ohio. Both have been devastated by the effects of the opioid epidemic. Recently, the Cuyahoga County coroner announced that they were out of room to store all of the overdose victims' bodies in the County morgue.
"The fact that the County morgue has run out of space for all of the deceased opioid victims is just one of the latest shocking effects of the opioid epidemic taking place across this Country", says Joseph L. Ciaccio.
"It's time that the burden of fighting this epidemic is lifted from the taxpayers" says Salvatore C. Badala, "and put on the companies who earned billions of dollars creating this epidemic."
The City of Parma joins a growing list of municipalities represented by Napoli Shkolnik PLLC nationwide.
About the firm
Napoli Shkolnik PLLC is a national litigation firm providing representation to persons in class action lawsuits and complex commercial cases, as well as victims of environmental contamination disasters, aviation accidents, defective prescriptions drugs and medical devices, asbestos-related illnesses, and other serious personal injury matters.

Chris O'Dowd 'would eat breakfast off Chris Hemsworth'
The actor had a small role in recently released superhero flick 'Thor: The Dark World' and found himself impressed by the star of the blockbuster.
Although he didn't film any scenes with his namesake, O'Dowd was surprised by the size of the actor when he saw him on set.
Speaking at the premiere of 'The Hardy Bucks Movie' in London's Leicester Square last night, he said: "He's a big dude, which I always find weird, 'cause I'm a very tall guy, and looking at someone at eye level is unusual for me. And he is well built ... I mean, I would eat my breakfast off that!
"I kind of saw Chris walking around sometimes looking like he is in the movie. I think he must have been shooting the same day or whatever and, my God, he's an attractive man."
The movie is the second in the 'Thor' series, which is expected to become a trilogy, but O'Dowd doesn't think he'll be making an appearance in any upcoming 'Thor' films and says his part in 'The Dark World' was very small.
The 'IT Crowd' and 'Bridesmaids' actor said: "I was in for like a minute. I think it was literally a day, so I didn't feel like I had to infiltrate that world."

Cavco Industries Inc. announced on Tuesday (May 29) financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended March 31, 2012.
Net sales for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 totaled $99,513,000, up 156% from $38,822,000 for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011, according to a news release.
As previously reported, Fleetwood Homes Inc., a subsidiary owned 50% by Cavco and 50% by Third Avenue Value Fund, completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets and assumption of certain liabilities of Palm Harbor Homes Inc. during the quarter ended June 30, 2011. The results of these new operations have been included in Cavco's Consolidated Financial Statements since acquisition. Palm Harbor Homes Inc. had been in the business of manufacturing and marketing factory-built housing and providing related consumer financing and insurance products. The aggregate gross purchase price, exclusive of transaction costs, specified liabilities assumed and post-closing adjustments, was $83,900,000.
Net income for the fiscal 2012 fourth quarter was $2,888,000, compared to $1,733,000 reported in the same quarter one year ago. Net income attributable to Cavco stockholders for the fiscal 2012 fourth quarter was $1,653,000 compared to $1,609,000 reported in the same quarter one year ago.
During the fiscal 2012 fourth quarter, the company made an election pursuant to section 338(h)(10) of the Internal Revenue Code, allowing the company to step up the tax basis of the Palm Harbor insurance group's assets to fair value. This election offset income tax expense by $1,241,000, resulting in a net tax benefit of $502,000 for the company in the quarter. Net income per share attributable to Cavco stockholders based on basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding was $0.24 for the fiscal 2012 fourth quarter, versus basic and diluted net income per share of $0.24 and $0.23 in last year's fourth quarter, respectively. Net income attributable to Cavco stockholders for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, includes one half of the $1,241,000 tax benefit from this election, consistent with Cavco's ownership percentage of Fleetwood Homes.
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, net sales increased 158% to $443,066,000 from $171,827,000 for fiscal year 2011. Net income for fiscal year 2012 was $29,728,000 compared to $4,072,000 for the prior year. Included in net income for fiscal 2012 was a gain on bargain purchase of $22,009,000 resulting from the Palm Harbor transaction, calculated in accordance with the accounting standards for business combinations.
Net income attributable to Cavco stockholders for fiscal 2012 was $15,237,000 compared to $2,831,000 last year. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, net income per share based on basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding was $2.22 and $2.19, respectively, versus $0.43 and $0.41 for the prior year, respectively. Net income attributable to Cavco stockholders for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, includes one half of the bargain purchase gain recognized, consistent with Cavco's ownership percentage of Fleetwood Homes.
Commenting on the final quarter of fiscal year 2012, Joseph Stegmayer, chairman, president and CEO, said, "The company's fourth quarter financial results were positive in light of the ongoing economic challenges affecting the homebuilding industry. Home sales were adversely impacted this quarter by seasonally slow winter home buying activity; however, we began to see some modest improvement in consumer interest and traffic levels at the end of the quarter. The financial services segment continued to provide sound mortgage and insurance products while being a strong contributor to our fourth quarter profitability during these difficult times."
Stegmayer continued, "Current economic and market headwinds including low consumer confidence levels, high unemployment rates, significant underemployment, and strict mortgage underwriting standards have not changed our optimistic long-term perspective. Cavco has accomplished a strategically eventful fiscal year in which the company grew considerably in size as well as in capability. The Palm Harbor transaction this year expanded the geographic reach of the company as well as the diversity of our home products and provided the introduction of related mortgage and insurance business lines. With the fiscal 2012 Palm Harbor and fiscal 2010 Fleetwood Homes asset purchases, our company is better situated to operate in the current environment and well positioned to benefit as the economy begins to improve."
Cavco's management will hold a conference call to review these results today (May 30) at noon (Eastern Time). Interested parties can access a live webcast of the conference call on the Internet at www.cavco.com under the Investor Relations link. An archive of the webcast and presentation will be available for 90 days at www.cavco.com under the Investor Relations link.

Player Profile
An exciting young central midfield prospect, Jordan joined from Sunderland in 2010 and made a big impact in both European and early Super League matches.
A highly promising talent, Jordan captained England at the Under-17s World Cup and also plays at Under-19 level.
She won the FA Young Player of the Year award in 2010, and has continued that form with some fine displays - and goals - this term.
Which coach most inspired you?
My Dad, Keith Nobbs, didn't coach me on a team but has always been there to advise me and help me as a player since I started playing. He's really inspired me and pushed me to keep doing well, giving me constructive criticism and positives.
Toughest opponent?
What are your memories of your first club as a child?
Waking up early on Saturday mornings and going to play against the boys - having no worries in the world, just enjoying playing.
What tip would you give a young player hoping to succeed?
To really enjoy playing but if it's what you really want just to push yourself - when you're not training there is someone out there who is. If you work hard and believe, you will get to where you want to be!
What was the experience of playing in a youth final tournament?
It was an unexplainable feeling, and great knowing we had all worked hard and got the outcome of winning the U-19 European championships at the end. It's something I will never forget and I'll always strive to win and play in big tournaments again.
Playing and being captain of the U-17 world cup in New Zealand will be something I will never forget as well - getting to fourth place, which was a great achievement, definitely inspired me and gave me that drive to want to play in big competitions.

是否有带着母乳宝宝旅行的诀窍?Are there any tricks to traveling with a breastfed baby?
审稿:Daisy, Missy
It's much easier to travel with a breastfed baby than a bottle-fed one. A breastfeeding mother doesn't need to worry about packing bottles and formula or sterilizing all the feeding supplies. Your milk is always ready and always at the right temperature, and the comfort of nursing can help reduce the stress of being in unfamiliar places.
If you fly, take an extra set of clothes for you and the baby in your carry-on bag in case your luggage is delayed (or the baby's diaper leaks onto your lap). Wear a loose-fittingtop you can easily pull up for nursing. A light blanket can help give you privacy in tight quarters. Air travel can be dehydrating, so make sure you drink plenty of water and/or juice. Your baby may feel some temporary discomfort during the plane's descent as the air pressure changes. Sucking (more specifically, swallowing) may relieve this discomfort, as it helps the ears to 'pop'. Note that safety experts recommend that, to avoid injury, babies and children should stay restrained in their seats for the duration of the flight just as adult passengers are expected to do. They also contend that it's just as important to properly restrain your child in a plane as it is in a car. (See References below.) Many mothers find that it is possible to breastfeed their baby in a car seat while remaining buckled in themselves. As an alternative, you may wish to offer a pacifier or sippy cup.
On a long car trip, be sure to allow extra time for breastfeeding stops. It's unsafe (and illegal in most places) to travel with the baby in your arms. If your baby needs to be held, stop the car and take a break. If your baby sleeps well in the car, consider driving at night or during nap times.
Even the most enjoyable traveling can be tiring with a baby. Try to leave plenty of time in your schedule for relaxing and unwinding. Pay careful attention to your own needs for nutritious food, plenty of liquids, and rest. Watch carefully to see that your baby is not overtired from too much handling or stimulation. He or she may want to nurse more than usual. It's not unusual for a baby's schedule to change when you're away from home.
Depending on your baby's age, bring along a few familiar toys as well as some new ones to entertain him/her. Some babies sleep better in strange places if you bring sheets and/or blankets from home (they'll smell and feel right to the baby). If you will be visiting friends or relatives who aren't supportive of breastfeeding, try some role-playing ahead of time to help you deal with criticism. (Look for more suggestions in the FAQ about "Dealing with Criticism about Breastfeeding.")

Our FAQs present information from La Leche League International on topics of interest to parents of breastfed children. Not all of the information may be pertinent to your family's lifestyle. This information is general in nature and not intended to be advice, medical or otherwise. If you have a serious breastfeeding problem or concern, you are strongly encouraged to talk directly to a La Leche League Leader. Please consult health care professionals on any medical issue, as La Leche League Leaders are not medical practitioners.

Villalona update
In a far more serious Giants legal matter, prospect Angel Villalona has posted bail in the Dominican Republic, where he had been held on murder charges, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.
Villalona, 19, still faces a charge that he shot a man to death during a bar fight in La Romana, Dominican Republic in September. Villalona posted bail of 500,000 pesos (a little less than $14,000 U.S.). Villalona's lawyer said the the no-bail hold on Villalona had been relaxed because prosecutors could not pin a motive in the shooting.
A source says Villalona's family paid the victim's family 5 million pesos ($138,306 U.S.). Villalona's lawyer denied the report. However, the prosecutor did say the victim's family did sign a waiver stating it will not file a civil suit against Villalona.
Villalona flew home to visit his mother. On Sept. 18, Villalona visited a popular disco when the victim, 25-year-old Mario Felix de Jesus Velete, got into an argument with a friend of Villalona. A bottle-throwing fight ensued. As Velete tried to flee through a back door, prosecutors say Villalona shot him in the back.
But Villalona's friends and family say Villalona wasn't even in the bar at the time the shooting took place. They say another man did the shooting, and has since fled town.
Three years ago, Villalona signed a $2.1 million signing bonus, at the time the largest given by the Giants to an amateur free agent. The 6-foot-3, 200-pound first baseman hit 9 home runs with 42 RBI and batted .267 in 74 games for Class A San Jose. He missed about a month of the season with a strained quad.

Alonso & Lowe Divorce Marvel's Mutants in X-MEN: REGENESIS
Thursday's news that the outcome of X-Men: Schism would be an "X-Men Regenesis" of two new ongoing series debuting in the fall — October's Wolverine & The X-Men and a relaunched Uncanny X-Men, starting in November — brought plenty of immediate questions.Who's going with Wolverine? Who's sticking with Cyclops? And that teaser image released along with the announcement — does it literally represent the breakdown of the fall split? Why is Professor Xavier back in a wheelchair? And why would Marvel reveal now what follows the end of Schism, when the series doesn't even start until next month? With plenty of details still under wraps, Newsarama consulted Marvel editor-in-chief Axel Alonso and X-Men group editor Nick Lowe to get some answers to these questions, and try to get a little bit of a clearer picture of what's in store for the X-Men in the near future.
Newsarama: Axel, Nick, we're curious about the timing of the announcement — with the September solicitations just out this week, and Schism not even started yet, why announce the outcome of the story now?
Axel Alonso: Retailers ordering Schism wanted to know: Was it going to be just a throwaway X-story? Some small limited with no after effects? We wanted to get the word out right from the beginning that it would be a big story that had a profound effect on the X-Men and the Marvel Universe so retailers wouldn't be caught short when ordering.Nrama: With the announcement today came the "Who Will You Follow?" teaser image. How literal should we be taking it? Is this at all an accurate representation of who is going to end up on which side, or more just a red herring/metaphorical illustration? Then there's the curious matter of Professor X back in a wheelchair, which seems like it must be there for a reason.
Alonso: The "Who Will You Follow?" teaser image is just that: a teaser image. It should not to be taken literally. Professor X's wheelchair is meant to give the image a classic feel — we're not putting him back in it. And who's to say that everyone in that picture will still be alive this September?
Nick Lowe: It sure would be an interesting team division, though, wouldn't it?
Nrama: On the conference call last week, there was talk of how the philosophical split between Cyclops and Wolverine had to be played in a way that both sides had a reasonable argument, without either being clearly "right." Was the same kind of doctrine applied to establishing the direction characters would go in the split? Making sure that both teams were balanced, and not one was too stacked — either in terms of popularity of power sets?
Lowe: As a group we wrestled with this a lot. We had a mini-X-Retreat back in January. We had X-Writers and X-Editorial there working through Schism and its aftermath and a big part of that meeting was who goes where and why. It mainly came down to individual characters and belief systems. Once you know what the philosophical issue is it'll make a lot more sense. It wasn't like an NFL general manager or coach decided who to draft or trade to build the strongest team. It's up to the individual X-Men, not the leaders of each side.
Nrama: And on that note, are there going to be any mutants who either reject the idea of the split entirely, or choose to stay neutral?
Alonso: Given the nature of the split, that would be hard to do.
Nrama: The Marvel.com article noted that Cyclops' team would be front and center in the Marvel Universe. As an Avenger, Wolverine has been prominent in the Marvel Universe for a few years now — so can we expect Schism to affect his standing among the Avengers teams, as well?
Lowe: Well, the Uncanny team and their leader will certainly be prominent, but that doesn't mean that Wolverine is going underground. He takes actions that very much affect how readers and Marvel Universe citizens will react to him.
Alonso: At some point, he might even have to make a choice where his real loyalties fall.
Nrama: Looking down the horizon, despite the clear ties between the two new series, is there going to be an effort to keep the two books apart for a bit at first, to let them establish their own status quos and sense of purpose?
Lowe: Yes, the books will blaze their own separate trails with their separate teams and mission statements. At least until events in the Marvel U require otherwise.
Nrama: It's natural to hear this news and wonder how the other X-books will be affected. X-Men: Legacy has just started to establish its own team with Rogue, Magneto, Xavier, etc., a dynamic that would seem to be untenable post-Schism. Adjectiveless X-Men and Astonishing have a bit more of a fluid format, but would also seem to be affected greatly. Are we headed for another shift in direction for Legacy? Will all these titles be sticking around?
Lowe: All the X-Books are going to have to react and deal with the status quo coming out of Schism. Mike Carey, who is the bees knees, has some amazing plans all throughout Schism and has really cool ideas on what Legacy is going to be after that. Adjectiveless X-Men will also feel the effects of Schism but will keep its identity as the most Marvel U-ingrained X-Book with lots of ties to the greater universe. Astonishing, well that's going to be an announcement all to itself. And you didn't even mention Uncanny X-Force or New Mutants or X-Factor or Generation Hope. They are all going to feel the effects and be changed by Schism.
Nrama: Let's look at Uncanny X-Force, then — we can't imagine that book is going anywhere, but given Wolverine's leadership status on that team, can we intuit from today's news that there will likely be a significant impact on the book?
Lowe: Yep! You'll see effects there, too. You'll have to wait a month or two after the rest of the books because Rick and Jerome are still in the middle of the "Dark Angel Saga" saga as well. But both Schism and "Dark Angel Saga" will change that book in big ways.
Nrama: Want to talk about the art teams a little bit: Chris Bachalo has a long history on the X-books — what made him the right choice as artist for Jason Aaron's title?
Lowe: Chris Bachalo is a legend. He is a master storyteller (every comic he draws is a fantastic journey) and when he draws the X-Men they look like The X-Men! When you read Wolverine & the X-Men you'll see why Chris was the first and only choice for the book.
Nrama: Then we've got Carlos Pacheco, who illustrated the Uncanny X-Men Point One issue and will be rotating art duties with Greg Land. Both of those artists have a more classic superhero style — is that a deliberate choice reflecting the tone of the book? And can we expect the Dodsons announced on another Marvel book soon?
Lowe: Carlos knocked Schism #1 and Uncanny #534.1 out of the park and loved being back on the X-Men. He has been having fun and it showed. I had to fight another editor in a "Beat It" style fracas to take Carlos off another book and get him on Uncanny.
As for Greg, he has been with us on Uncanny since #500 and has been doing a great job. I believe he was thinking of asking off the book (and would you blame a guy after a few years and 25-odd issues) but between the current Fear Itself arc and what Kieron [Gillen] has planned for Uncanny he couldn't help but stick around and I couldn't be happier. The art he's done on the Fear Itself arc is his best yet.
Nrama: The AP article today mentioned a 2012 event with the X-Men playing a major role. Is that an X-Men-specific event like "Second Coming," or a more general Marvel Universe event in which the X-Men are heavily involved? (Which hasn't traditionally been the case with a lot of the big Marvel Universe-wide events.)
Alonso: It's a Marvel Universe event in which the X-Men will play a major role. For some time, we've been promising to get the X-Men woven deep into the fabric of the M.U. — and this is where we do it.
Nrama: Finally, you guys have talked about this a bit already elsewhere, but we wanted to ask about the renumbering issue. Obviously, there are a lot of people bummed about Uncanny renumbering with #1. It's prompted by a major plot development, but when making a decision like that, how much of a concern is that type of skeptical or negative reaction? Are there people at Marvel with the same type of nostalgic feeling towards the numbers that many fans seem to have? And is it frustrating to hear the inevitable cynical reaction — "Oh, they're just going to switch back to the old numbering in a year"?
Lowe: We knew there would be a reaction. But this is such a seismic shift in the X-side of the Marvel U that it merited the change. This isn't business as usual. This isn't a story that Kieron had planned to do anyway. We started from square one on this one.
Alonso: There's a story-based reason for Uncanny X-Men to get a number one, alongside Wolverine & The X-Men #1. Two new teams, two different mission statements. It's as simple as that.More from Newsarama on X-Men:

Making ideas fly
Professor Tom Betts uses a funny YouTube video called "Advertiser vs. Consumer" to kick off his "Intro to Marketing" class. It gets students thinking about the ethics behind marketing and advertising. Is advertising always self-serving and manipulative? Is it innately bad or evil because it involves trying to sell people something?
Take a marketing class taught by Professor Betts and you'll learn that trying to sell something is about the approach you take, about using what he calls the "art and science of marketing" to connect the right people with the right products or causes.
"As Christians, we have to take marketing further because we have a deeper call—we have redeeming work to do," he said.
Professor Betts has spent more than 25 years exploring the best ways to connect people and products—from banking systems to magazines and, most recently, books at Grand Rapids-based publishing house, Zondervan.
Instead of simply lecturing about marketing plans, Professor Betts connects his students to local businesses where they actually create real marketing plans.
"I enjoy teaching, but I enjoy mentoring and advising more. I love seeing students become the best they can be—I get energy out of seeing that happen."
With years of business experience, Professor Betts provides valuable insight in real-world marketing, and structures his marketing course in a way that is both engaging and educational. ~Emily Keller '09
Professor Betts worked closely with recent graduate Kelly LeCoy as she developed her award-winning business plan. He asked her a lot of tough questions in the process.
"In the real business world, you have to have a good plan for the idea to fly."
With all of his time spent in the business world, Professor Betts knows well what it takes to make an idea work. Now he's all about helping students put wings on their ideas.

ANNAPOLIS, Md. – UMBC freshman Hunter Dolshun (Warwick, N.Y./Warwick Valley) smacked his first career homerun, a two-run shot to left, to cap a five-run sixth inning as the UMBC baseball team defeated Navy, 8-3, Wednesday afternoon at Max Bishop Stadium.
The homerun finished off an inning in which UMBC (2-6) scored five times on just three hits. Dolshun's shot brought around junior Ryan Sliwak (Wantagh, N.Y./Wantagh/Nassau CC) who had just tripled to deep right to score sophomore Mark Esposito (Bethany, Conn./Amity Regional).
Sophomore Cam Maxey (Mechnicsville, Va./Atlee) pitched 3.2 innings of relief to earn the win. The side-armer yielded just one run on one hit while also striking out one batter. Junior Kevin Ladner (Succasunna, N.J./Roxbury) pitched a scoreless ninth inning to complete the win.
Michael McCormick (0-1) took the loss for Navy (6-8) after surrendering four unearned runs over the course of 5.1 innings.
After McCormick sent the Retrievers down in order in the top of the first, the Mids opened the scoring in the bottom half against UMBC starter Shane Vlasic (Ashburn, Va./Broad Run) as Kash Manzelli singled through the left side to bring in Travis Blue. The Retriever defense then picked its starter up as sophomore Kevin Lachance (Clifton, Va./Centreville) and junior Vince Corbi (Medford, N.J./Shawnee) turned a slick inning-ending 6-4-3 double play.
Navy doubled its lead in the next inning on a fielder's choice, but Vlasic held strong from there going 4.1 innings and giving up just the two unearned runs on three hits. The veteran right-hander struck out one while walking one as well.
The UMBC offense woke up in the top of the third, pulling level with two runs. Dolshun drew a one-out walk to start the rally and two batters later Corbi reached on an error to give the Retrievers first and third. After Corbi advanced to second on a wild pitch, Lachance rolled a soft one to the left side and gained first on an errant throw as Dolshun came into score. Then, down 0-2 in the count, junior Jake Barnes (Annandale, Va./Annadale) shot a single up the middle to score Corbi from third.
Neither team scored in the fourth or fifth inning, allowing UMBC to break the game open in the top of the sixth. Barnes initiated the inning by doubling to left and then screened the shortstop on a ball off the bat of junior Anthony Gatto (Hauppauge, N.Y./Smithtown West), and came into score as the ball rolled into the outfield. Gatto then stole second and took third on a wild pitch before junior Brandon Coluccio (Freehold, N.J./Freehold Township/Brookdale CC) drew a walk. Gatto then scored on a fielder's choice of the bat of Esposito.
Sliwak then launched his triple to deep right field, scoring Esposito to push the lead to 5-2. Dolshun followed and cracked a deep drive over the left field fence for a 7-2 lead.
UMBC padded its lead in the top of the eighth with Sliwak slapping a fly ball to left allowing Esposito to race home on a sacrifice fly.
Navy pushed back for one run in the top of the eighth, but wasted opportunities throughout as the UMBC staff combined to strand six runners on base.
UMBC will now open the 2014 home schedule by hosting Albany this weekend at Alumni Field. The Retrievers are scheduled to play a doubleheader on Saturday and then concluding the three-game set with a single game on Sunday.
- UMBC improves to 21-18 all-time against Navy. The win is the Retrievers first in Annapolis since March 27, 2010.
- The first nine runs of the game were all unearned.
- Dolshun is the second Retriever freshman to hit a home run this year. Classmate Andrew Casali (New Canaan, Conn./New Canaan) hit a round-tripper in UMBC's season-opening series at William and Mary on March 1.
- Wednesday marked Vlasic's third career start against Navy.

Oom (Het Vrije Volk, 25 May 1971)
Joost Roelofsz has been working as an illustrator since 1970. The first book he illustrated was 'De Zeven Hoofdzonden', and he has since made drawings for books by Remco Campert ('Tjeempie, of Liesje in Luiletterland', 1976) and Rudy Kousbroek ('Het rijk van Jabeer', 1984), and for weeklies like Vrij Nederland. He won the Golden Brush for his illustrations for 'Voor en achter' in 1982.
Het Leven en De Dood en Televisiekijken
With Gerben Hellinga, he made the newspaper comic strip 'Oom', starring the character Celia, for Het Vrije Volk in 1970-1971. His improvised and experimental comic 'Het leven en de dood en het televisiekijken' was first published in Haagse Post in 1976 and 1977. The 64 drawings of the story featured the so-called zoom-effect, where a miniature of the previous panel was featured in every drawing. A colored version was made for an exposition in the following year and a film adaptation called 'Life and Death' won the first prize at the Cork Film Festival in Ireland in 1980.
His father was artist and painter Charles Roelofsz.

Unit 10: Acids and Bases—The Voyage of the Proton
Hosted by Adam Brunet
Acids and bases are found all around us, and the currency of acid-base chemistry is the proton, or hydrogen ion. Acid-base chemistry is part of everyday life, from baking and the food we eat to the innumerable reactions that keep the human body alive. Acid-base chemistry is measured on the pH scale—the concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution. Buffers can control pH, whether used in the lab or in the acid-base components of human blood. The role of acids and bases will be shown in food—from the rise of a cake to the making of cheese. In the environment, acid rain plagues industrial portions of the world; the chemical nature of acid rain reactions and the environmental response and impact are part of acid-base chemistry.

One our reader asks:
How do I generate a range of numbers under BASH for loop command? For example, I need to run particular command inside loop 100 or 500 times. Basically I want function that counts FROM and TO a range of numbers like 50-10.
To print a sequence of numbers use GNU seq command. In olden days we use our own shell script. But no more dirty shell script, just use good seq command.
This is quite handy when you want to writing shell scripts that requires loop-using range of numbers.
seq command syntax
seq LAST
seq FIRST LAST
seq FIRST INCREMENT LAST
If FIRST or INCREMENT is omitted, it defaults to 1. That is, an omitted INCREMENT defaults to 1 even when LAST is smaller than FIRST. FIRST, INCREMENT, and LAST are interpreted as floating point values. INCREMENT is usually positive if FIRST is smaller than LAST, and INCREMENT is usually negative if FIRST is greater than LAST.
Try out following examples:
$ seq 5
1 2 3 4 5
Few more examples:
$ seq 5 10
$ seq 0 2 10
$ seq 5 -1 1
seq command and shell script (for loop)
You can use seq command in bash for loop as follows:
#!/bin/bash for i in $(seq 5) do echo "Welcome $i times" done
Bash for loop to generate a sequence of numbers
You can also use bash for loop as follows:
#!/bin/bash for ((a=1; a <= 5 ; a++)) do echo "Welcome $a times." done
Real World Experience
#!/bin/bash # Script to move topics from old shared hosting to new lighttpd vps server # U="http://forum.cyberciti.biz/viewtopic.php?t=" rdu="" for n in $(seq 1 521) do rdu="$(lynx --dump $U$n | egrep "vt([0-9]+)\.html$" | awk '{ print $2}' | uniq)" if [ "$rdu" == "" ]; then : else echo "$n => \"$rdu\"," fi rdu="" done
Above script generates a new php code (array) to match with variable t so that we can send 301 redirect. So anyone visiting old forum url http://www.cyberciti.biz/nixcraft/forum/viewtopic.php?t=513 will be redirected to new url 😀
Next, I just need to copy and paste the array generated by shell script into viewtopic.php and all users are redirected to new url with 301 http code.
<?php $URLS = array ( .... .. 3 => "http://forum.cyberciti.biz/mysql-cluster-vt3.html", 4 => "http://forum.cyberciti.biz/nice-look-and-feel-vt4.html", 5 => "http://forum.cyberciti.biz/squid-monitoring-using-mrtg-vt5.html" .... ); $top=$_GET['t']; $u=$URLS[$top]; if ( isset($u)) { @include_once("../../include.genlib.php"); movePage(301, "$u"); } else { @include_once("../../include.genlib.php"); movePage(301, "http://forum.cyberciti.biz"); } ?>
Set a step value and generate a sequence number
In case, you are interested in my old (perhaps dirty) shell script 😉
#!/bin/bash # Usage: # ./script 1 5 + # ./script 100 50 - # where START END +/- FROM=$1 TO=$2 ACTION="$3" if [ "$ACTION" == "+" ]; then while [ $FROM -le $TO ] do echo -n $FROM " " (( FROM++ )) done echo "" else while [ $FROM -ge $TO ] do echo -n $FROM " " (( FROM-- )) done echo " " fi
Run script as follows to set a step value and generate a sequence:
$ chmod +x script
$ ./script 5 10 +
$ ./script 20 10 -

When its grand opening takes place in Kirkland Lake, Ontario in June 2006, Hockey Heritage North will be an 18,000-square foot museum dedicated to the preservation and glorification of hockey in Northern Ontario. With the rich veins of talent producing such outstanding hockey talent, it is important to recognize these contributions and this interactive museum will do exactly that. The Hockey Heritage North fundraising drive has garnered $8,750,000 to date; well on its way to the goal of $10,485,000.
Larry Hillman, now a fit 68-year-old, first stepped onto NHL ice as an 18-year-old member of the 1954-55 Detroit Red Wings club. Although he played just 6 games during the regular season, the Wings had Hillman dressed for the first 2 games of the semi-final. After Detroit defeated Montreal in a particularly aggressive series, Lawrence Morley Hillman had his name engraved on the Stanley Cup for the first time.
Paired with Marcel Pronovost for much of the playoffs, Larry and the Leafs defeated the Chicago Blackhawks in six games during the semi-final to earn a spot in the final against the Montreal Canadiens. It would be the last Stanley Cup final of the 'Original Six' era, as by the next autumn, the Los Angeles Kings, Minnesota North Stars, Oakland Seals, Philadelphia Flyers, Pittsburgh Penguins and St. Louis Blues were added to the NHL, doubling its size.
In spite of Hillman's goal early in the first period, only his second playoff goal during a long career, Montreal whipped Toronto 6-2 in Game 1 to go up one game to none in the series. Toronto won Games 2 and 3, with Larry contributing an assist on Peter Stemkowski's first period goal in Game 3. Montreal returned with a vengeance, outscoring the Maple Leafs 6-2 in Game 4 but Toronto won 4-1 in Game 5. On May 2, 1967, the Toronto Maple Leafs defeated the Montreal Canadiens 3-1 to win the 11th Stanley Cup in franchise history and the 5th in Larry Hillman's career.
With the opportunity to have the Stanley Cup for a day, Larry Hilman decided he would help his community. The Englehart Arena is scheduled for replacement. With funding from the town's capital budget and from the provincial government, local fundraising is still needed for a facility that will include an arena, outdoor pool, walking track and meeting rooms. Larry convinced his pal Ralph Backstrom, also a six-time Stanley Cup champion and a teammate on that Montreal club of 1968-69, to join him for signing autographs and getting photos taken with the Stanley Cup to help raise money for the arena. There was a remarkable turn-out of fans anxious to see the Stanley Cup.
A convoy of cars then made the trip with the Stanley Cup from Englehart to Kirkland Lake, where Hockey Heritage North was hosting a golf tournament at the Kirkland Lake Golf Club. The guests of honour were Hillman, Backstrom, Dick Duff and Gus Mortson, who was born in New Liskeard but now lives in Timmins. Between the four Northern Ontarians, they have won an incredible 22 championships: 6 for Hillman, 6 for Backstrom, 6 for Duff and 4 for Mortson.
From 2:00 until 6:00, Ralph Backstrom, Dick Duff, Larry Hillman and Gus Mortson signed autographs at a local rink, and chatted with fans about hockey 'back in the day' and about this season upcoming. All were excited about the Cup's visit. "There's no question that if we could have taken it (the Stanley Cup) for a day back then (like the players do today), I would have brought it to Kirkland Lake," stated Ralph Backstrom proudly. Larry Hillman nodded in agreement. "We see the young players taking the Cup home and never thought it would come back to us oldtimers. You think about it a lot over the years."
A big, strong defenseman with a hard shot, Kent had to be scratching his head wondering if he would ever get the opportunity to climb into the ranks of the National Hockey League. To outsiders, it looked like Douglas had forever been exiled to the American Hockey League's Springfield Indians, owned and run by eccentric former NHL star Eddie Shore. Shore was notorious for his often torturous methods of running the team, but Kent Douglas played a vital role — in 3 seasons with Springfield, Kent and the Indians won the AHL championship all three seasons, collecting the Calder Cup. "Eddie Shore was years before his time when it came to the fundamentals of passing, skating and shooting. As the old saying goes, you may not have liked the man but you sure had to respect him," Kent stated.
Finally, during the summer of 1962, general manager Punch Imlach of the Maple Leafs was able to pry 26-year-old Kent Douglas away from Springfield by sending five prospects to Eddie Shore. Three of those five players — Wally Boyer, Dick Mattiussi and Bill White-went on to have successful careers in the NHL. But Kent made such an impact during his NHL debut in 1962-63 that he won a different Calder Trophy — the NHL's rookie of the year award. That spring, Douglas and the Toronto Maple Leafs won the Stanley Cup championship — a first for Kent and second in a row for Toronto.
Kent, wearing his #19, stood out — not just because of his on-ice contributions but because he looked different than the other players.
Kent, now 69-years old, was at the centre of a fundraiser at the nearby nine-hole Jewel of the North Golf Course. The charity recipient was Juvenile Diabetes, a cause close to the heart of Kent who himself suffers from diabetes. The Stanley Cup was on-hand from noon until 5:00 pm, and the turn-out was very strong to see Lord Stanley's trophy and one of the champions who has his name forever engraved on it.
The Stanley Cup Journal heads west to Calgary and on Tuesday, you'll read about how Bert Olmstead, Alf Pike, Johnny MacMillan and Vic Stasiuk spent their time with the Stanley Cup. Look forward to joining you then!

Some of these books I bought and read before the trip, and others I picked up at the Iolani Palace gift shop, the Bishop Museum gift shop, or at Na Mea Hawaii, the native bookstore at the Ward Warehouse Mall in Honolulu http://www.nativebookshawaii.com/ Most can probably be found at your local bookstore or online. It is important to read books about the location you are visiting for genealogy research, whether it is a new town, new state or new country. Even if you have been there before, there is always something new.
Hawaiian Journey: Images of Yesterday, by Joseph G. Mullins, Mutual Publishing, 1978
Hawaiian Journey: Images of Yesterday, by Joseph G. Mullins, Mutual Publishing, 1978
Illustrated Hawaiian Dictionary, by Kahikahealani Wight, Bess Press, Honolulu, 2009
Lost Kingdom: Hawaii's Last Queen, the Sugar Kings, and America's First Imperial Adventures, by Julia Flynn Siler, Atlantic Monthly Press, 2012
Oahu Revealed, by Andrew Doughty, Wizard Publications, Inc., 2010
The Queen and I: A Story of Dispossessions and Reconnections in Hawai'I, by Sydney Lehua Iaukea, University of California Press, 2012
The Queen's Songbook, by Her Majesty Queen Lili'uokalani, published by Hui Hanai, 1999 reprinted 2011
The Rise and Fall of the Hawaiian Kingdom: A Pictorial History, by Richard A. Wisniewski, Pacific Printing and Publishing, 1979
A new magazine I discovered six months before my trip:
Mana: The Hawaiian Magazine, published bimonthly by MANA Media LLC http://www.mymanamagazine.com/ and also on Facebook
For a listing of the books I read for my first Hawaiian research trip in 2010, please see this link: http://nutfieldgenealogy.blogspot.com/2010/08/bibliography-for-my-hawaii-genealogy.html
While in Hawaii I asked about the newest books, and two cousins recommended The Queen and I. It was written by a descendant of Curtis P. Iaukea, who was the chamberlain to Queen Liliuokalani. I read it on the flight home, and it was an excellent book for understanding land rights in Hawaii.
I had heard about the new book Lost Kingdom, by Siler. It was both applauded and panned by Hawaiian historians and genealogists. Two Oahua friends, whose opinion I trust, recommended it and I picked up a copy at Na Mea. I haven't read it yet, but it is a landmark book about the illegal takeover of the Hawaiian Kingdom.
I also learned that Hawaii's Story, by Hawaii's Queen Liliuokalani now available in paperback will be republished as a hardcover book in 2013. The original book was published by my cousin William Lee, and cousin to the Queen's husband, John Owen Dominis. Lee & Shepard Publishers of Boston printed the book in 1898. Several members of my extended family have the original book. I read some of the correspondence between William Lee and the Queen at the Hawaii State Archives, and I was thrilled that some of it mentioned relatives, including my 3x great grandmother! Hawaii's Story is also available to read online at http://digital.library.upenn.edu/women/liliuokalani/hawaii/hawaii.html
