Just as the title states. The build is already complete...besides the Case.
What he needs is the following:
We are going to be using one of the Rosewell Hotswap Bays that has 4 Hotswaps in there, that is a no-brainer. This is to house the four 8TB WD Drives we shucked for his PC that will be used in these hotswap bays. (He wants two hotswaps so he can stick 8 8TB Drives in there but that seems pointless when you can hotswap them out accordingly)
Thought about the Lv10 GT but that is ALOT of money right now. I bought mine for $130 over six months ago and the price skyrocketed. So I am happy I got mine then. But now we are looking for something for him. He also wouldn't mind it looking nice in the state that he might resell later/or the fact he doesn't want to have to look at a really ugly case all the time.
Secondly, it needs to have room for a DVD-R/CD-R/Blue Ray Optical Drive with the Hotswap Bay. The Hotswap Bay takes up 4 3.5 Drive Bays, so we need minimum of 5 Bays.
But, he also wants it to look nice.
I thought about the Azza GT1, and it is kind of...ugly. It could house 4 hotswap bays in total but I am going to talk him down to 4, since he can just take them out and interchange them without the need of having two hotswap bays.
Would be nice to have a clear side panel so you can see the guts on the inside too.
Any suggestions? Its really hard to find one that would look nice or might be good for a build.
We want to keep the price to around 100, but higher is fine if you have suitable suggestions.
It isn't decked out with RGB or anything, but the panel on the side to make it look nicer/see the insides would be great.

3 Years and Counting
I guess it's true...time flies when you're having fun. Today is our anniversary and it has been an incredible 3 years. I am so blessed that Shane was willing to put up with some short, weird girl from Utah (and continues to be willing)! He is such an amazing person in so many ways. Here are some of the reasons I love him so much:
S ense of humor (He always keeps me laughing which is good for the soul)
H onors his priesthood (I never question what he believes and stands for)
A lways thinking of others (He is always serving me and everyone around him)
N ever loses temper (He is so level-headed and easy to get along with)
E xceptional father (I love watching him with Max and hope Max will learn all he can from him)
(and he's hot, what can I say!)
I love you so much Shane! Thank you for everything...I can't wait to see what lies ahead!

Valerio Freschi, Alessandro Bogliolo. A faster algorithm for the computation of string convolutions using LZ78 parsing. Inf. Process. Lett., 110(14-15):609-613, 2010. [doi]
String convolution between vectors of integers representing a pattern and a text is a widely used computational primitive in string processing. In this paper, we investigate the use of an algorithmic framework which exploits sequence repetitions (identified according to the Lempel–Ziv parsing technique, i.e., the LZ78 algorithm) to speed up conventional algorithms (based on Fast Fourier Transform) for the computation of convolution between a pattern and a text, when the text is long enough and the pattern is sufficiently small. In particular, we present a deterministic algorithm which, given a text T of length n (drawn from a constant size alphabet ΣT) and a pattern P of length m (drawn from a constant size alphabet ΣP), computes the convolution between P and T with time and space complexity View the MathML source, where h is the entropy of text T.

Hello. ♡
My name is Valerie. 22 trips around the sun later, & here I am! Eager to take my life experiences, things I have learned (& things I'm still learning), & share them to inspire others. Take all of that good stuff, sprinkle in some of my passions, a little dash of faith, & well-ah! The art of this website.
The last six years I have been a photographer. When I was little, one of my all time favorite things to do was to look through our family's boxes of photo albums. As I got older, nothing changed. Though we had all grew up, & life took us all different directions – the photos, & memories remained. The photos of our genuine smiles. The ones of our over the top laughter. The photos of our precious moments together.
I got older, & got the opportunity to start taking photos with a professional camera. Taking photos gave me the same feeling I had when I looked through old family photo albums. I loved reminiscing. I loved creating. & photography was the perfect combination of the two. I was hooked.
Shortly after I had started really getting into photography, I started to travel. Let me tell you- if you have never gone somewhere completely new & different before- do it. When I flew across the country for the first time, stepped out of that airport, & the crisp winter east coast air hit me- I felt something change within me. I felt excited. I felt hope.
I started to dabble in outdoor photography, & ended up falling in love. There was something about not being in control of nature, [the lighting, weather, etc] & having to learn how to let it speak for itself. When mother nature has a plan of it's own, you're left with nothing but your own creativity. Learning how to appreciate the beauty of art has taught me how to appreciate the the beauty of life.♡
I used to just have "photographer" in my title, but over time I realized my passions have always gone deeper. Yes, I have adored photography since I was little- but that's not all.
I also have always loved to write. I remember when I was younger, I would sit in my bedroom, & spend hours writing short stories for fun. English was always my favorite class growing up. Even now, since my freshman year of high school, I've acquired multiple journals where I document the deepest parts of my soul.
Creating things in general has always interested me. In fifth grade, I started my first Youtube channel. Middle school came around, & I was always behind the camera. Making "scary movies" with my friends every sleepover, hosting another Youtube channel, joining a collab, spending hours editing videos; I was always known as the camera girl.
My last passion- is helping & inspiring others. Overcoming depression is something I am really proud of. I know what it's like to feel like nobody cares. & I also know how much it meant to me when I realized people did care. Those people who pushed me through depression inspired me to want to inspire others as well. All I have ever wanted to do was positively impact at least one person. If I could help one person find life's true beauty, just one, I will know I did not fail what I was put on this earth for.
SO- Now what? I asked myself when I realized I wanted to pursue all of the things I love the most. I have all of these passions burning fiercely inside of me, but how can I somehow combine them all? How can I wrap my love for photography, writing, video production, and inspiring others all into one? Simple. Right here.
I have decided that I am not just defined as one of my passions, but all of them. I am an artist. An artist who chooses to share her passions with the world.
Through photos, so you can see how amazing this world is through my eyes; so you can see life that way, too. Through writing, so you truly get to know my soul; & explore your own, as well. & Through videos, so you can join the adventure, & experience it with me.
So let me inspire you. I want to show you that life is so much bigger & greater than just the tough experiences we go through. I want everybody to see it's beauty.
See my photos, read my words, watch my videos & find the good in the world with me. ♡
♡ Valerie Karen.

My chat with ESPN's Jerry Crasnick includes his memorable career moments, current thoughts on sports journalism, and advice for today's aspiring writers.
If you're a frequent viewer of ESPN, or like to browse the baseball coverage on ESPN.com, you've more than likely come across Jerry Crasnick, noted for his invaluable work and MLB contributions for the network. I recently had the pleasure of talking with Jerry, covering a number of topics ranging from how he got started in sports journalism, to covering Pete Rose's late-1980s Reds and much more.
The full audio version of the interview is available at the bottom of the page.
William: Most people know you for your great work as a writer covering baseball for ESPN. Can you talk about that, and how you got started?
Jerry: Well I was in journalism for 25 years before I went to ESPN. Back when I started in 1980 you went through the ranks of smaller papers and you just worked your way up through newspapers so that was the way I did the bulk of my career. In early 2000's I had worked at a few different jobs. I was working at Bloomberg, the news service for several years, and I wanted to write a book, I wound up writing a book called License To Deal and in between I took a leave. I left Bloomberg to concentrate on the book and I went to work for ESPN for their insider section. When I finished my book I started with ESPN full-time.
William: What are some of your most memorable moments from throughout your career?
Jerry: I think a lot of it is just being in the seat for certain events in Baseball history that you know you're listening or watching and you say people are going to remember this or look back on this decades from now, so I have quite a few. You know, when I was in Portland, Maine, I did the Red Sox in the World Series so I wound up being in the right field auxiliary press box when the ball went through Bill Buckner's legs which was pretty amazing, I mean I can remember that like it was yesterday watching that. In 1988 I was covering the World Series when Kirk Gibson hit his home run off Dennis Eckersley and I think I can say to this day that was the most just stunningly, amazing moment I've seen in all my years, you know, just from a place thinking that this guy's going to be lucky to foul a pitch off, to him hitting a ball into the seats off Dennis Eckersley.
The strange thing about that was that it was on a Saturday I'm pretty sure and we didn't have a Sunday paper at the Cincinnati Post so I was there but I had no paper to write. I had to wound up writing it the next day and they already played another game I think, so that was pretty strange. In 1989 I was there for the earthquake in San Francisco
covering that and they took a whole week to get back to it. That went beyond baseball, sort of a human drama. Covered the whole Pete Rose and Marge Schott stuff. Through the steroid era when Mark McGwire hit his 62nd home run to break Roger Maris' record, I was there for Joe Carter' home run in the World Series so I've seen a lot of amazing stuff. Mostly in the post season, but some strange things in the regular season too.
William: Covering the Reds as a beat writer, what was it like covering the teams from the 80s and 90s with the Reds, Marge Schott, Pete Rose?
Jerry: It was a really amazing first beat to get onto because back then in the late 80s and early 90s Cincinnati was kind of a center of the baseball universe for a couple years, when the Rose stuff was going on, there was a vigil all season and it was a different time then. Just covering Pete day in and day out, and seeing him deal with his ordeal, and then Marge was always kind of a wild card in the equation, you never knew what she was going to do. It was pretty crazy. I also covered the team in 90 when Piniella was the manager and the Nasty Boys were there, and they went wire-to-wire and won the World Series, so kind of from the sublime to the ridiculous. You covered some stuff that was pretty crazy and you couldn't make up and then you really got to cover some really exciting and fun baseball, too.
William: Can you talk about a day in the life? How do you go about your articles and how many do you look to get done a week, or a daily basis?
Jerry: It's really kind of seasonal, during the season you don't have to follow the news as much. In the offseason there's a lot of texting and calling, emailing front office people and agents, trying to keep tabs on the news. Maybe instant reaction to signings and things like that, that happen. During the season it really depends. In Spring Training I'll be there and I might try to write something every single day, or 5-6 times a week and hit a lot of camps. During the season you have time to take a step back, and maybe you might be working on one bigger story and take several days on that, so there's really no set schedule or agenda. I work out of my house so I'll get up in the morning and maybe read other stories and go online and look around and get ideas. If the Phillies are home, I'll go down to Philadelphia for the games, probably 30-40 times a season. Sometimes I'll hop up to New York, or down to Baltimore, Washington. It really just kind of depends on what's on the radar. But the one thing I really like about the job is there's no set schedule and you can kind of make your own schedule.
William: As far as someone in your career and where you are now being a prominent writer, are you able to come up with your own stories, or do you ever have to push your idea across someone else first, or how does that work?
Jerry: Yeah there's quite a bit of that actually. We try to come up with ideas maybe that just aren't kneejerk and the same ideas. You try to differentiate yourself and maybe come up with an angle that's a little bit different. So there are times when you can just do things pretty easily and then there are times when you're involved with editors or trying to shape a story. You might send them a story or version of it and they might edit it and send it back to you and you rework it. It really just kind of depends on the story and the individual case by case situation.
William: I'm sure you've come across some invaluable lessons from throughout your time as a writer. Can you talk about that, maybe the good and bad etiquette that you've seen, that others should or should not do?
Jerry: Well I just think now there's a mindset among younger writers who think that emailing and texting and calling front office people and saying 'hey will you be my source,' I hear that sometimes, and it doesn't really work that way. To me the sources are built up through time and trust and familiarity. A lot of times you might get to know somebody just by talking about all kinds of things. There's also a sense of going on Twitter and throwing out rumors and being the first to a signing, getting the terms of a signing and there's kind of an obsession with that now. I think some of us who's been in the business don't really think of that as the most gratifying part of journalism, the most gratifying part is trying to do a good story or report a thing looked within the industry as valuable. I think a lot of front office people don't really care who gets the scoop 30 seconds before somebody else, but if you can write a story about a trend or something that sheds new light on it I think that's more enduring than just trying to go out and get these little mini scoops that really become old news within an hour after they're reported.
William: Yeah I was at the Winter Meetings last year and I kind of took note when a journalist such as yourself, Buster Olney, Ken Rosenthal would report or would put out a tweet for instance about a signing and they would always give the credit to who might have scooped it first. And all the writers themselves as far as who came up with that source first. I'm sure with the Winter Meetings last week you were definitely busy during that time as well.
Jerry: Yeah and there are guys who I know get more than these than I do, they work really hard at it, I just think the value of that stuff is not quite as much as it used to be because within 15 minutes everybody pretty much has it. It's great for recognition within the industry but I don't know that the average fan cares that much. I think the average fan cares more about what does this mean to my team? Where is this guy going to hit in the order or what does this mean to the payroll, or what moves come next because of this or what's the mindset of the front office. That's the stuff that I'd like to read. Because once the thing is reported that this guy signed, like I said everybody has it and then in the next 12 hours are really, sort of trying to assess what does this mean to the organization as opposed to who had it first. I understand there's a competitiveness and kind of an obsession in the industry. There's certainly professional courtesy and that sort of thing but again, I don't know how much the average fan cares about it. You know, maybe it's more the writers that care about it. I think at ESPN we really try to do that. I think we're pretty good about trying to give credit for people who might get something first.
William: What advice do you have for people who might like to pursue a career in sports journalism?
Jerry: It's kind of depressing now honestly, I hate to say that but I don't know that those same jobs exist anymore. There just don't seem to be as many of them out there and so I think people need to maybe think about career alternatives and then you can do a blog on the side or that sort of thing and maybe it turns into something. If you're bound and determined to try to do a career in journalism, you know, I think you probably need to go to school and you probably can major in anything, write for your school paper, try to network and get to know people. There are places that have summer internships and that sort of thing. I think one of the things I would really try to impress upon people is if you can learn a second language I think that's a great idea. Especially if you want to cover baseball. I dabbled in learning Spanish on my own for a few years. I've been away from it maybe the last few months. But that's something I wish I had done because if you're bilingual, I think 30% of the players at least speak Spanish and that really broadens your horizons and gives you better stories and more people to talk to. So I think that's something I would advise people to try to do. I think you have to try to pursue your dream if you love it and you can do it but you also have to be prepared maybe for disappointments or lack of opportunity and think about other directions you can where maybe you can do some other things but still try to write on the side and scratch that itch.
William: Yeah I actually interned with the Augusta GreenJackets last summer and I know exactly what you mean about Spanish and trying to communicate with players who either may not know English as well, or know a little bit to get by, definitely know what you mean there.
Jerry: Yeah I just started late and I'm okay now, I certainly can understand some of it but I don't do enough of it but I don't do enough of it, you know speak it constantly enough to stay fresh, to stay sharp but I can go up to players and maybe strike up a conversation a little bit and talk to them a little bit but it's a little too late. I'm not giving up on it but I see how difficult it is to do.
William: If you weren't a sports writer what do you think you might be doing?
Jerry: That's a really good question. I think if I were to do it again what I might have done is want to do a language, something crazy, Mandarin Chinese or Arabic or something and you can be an interpreter or you can travel the world or work in an embassy. I think that might have been kind of fun. I do love the writing part of it so I'm not really sure what else I could do but I think something like that might appeal to me. Teaching I guess is a possibility but I think something that involves languages and maybe traveling and being an interpreter or working in an embassy, that sort of thing, I think that might have been an interesting, different course from what I wound up doing.
William: What was your favorite baseball team growing up?
Jerry: Well I grew up in New England, I grew up in Maine, so I was a Red Sox fan when I was eight or nine-years-old. The Impossible Dream Red Sox, Carl Yastrzemski and that group was my team. Through my teenage years, I'd say probably a Red Sox fan and then when I wound up getting into journalism not so much. Being a baseball writer, you just learn to be objective and I don't know that I have huge emotional ties to anybody. Oddly enough since I grew up in Maine, my older brothers were fans of the Cleveland Sports teams, and I don't know why exactly, but I became a Browns fan, which is like a curse, every year they're horrible, and it's the worst year yet so I think it would have been neat to see Cleveland win this year even though Chicago got all the attention. I think if Cleveland had won it would have been another team that has really suffered a lot and deserved a reprieve so given my older brothers and my family, I like to see the Cleveland teams do well but I root for good stories, I guess that's what I would say and the Cubs were a great story this year, one of the best stories we've seen in a lot of years.
William: I grew up in Ohio a little bit and I know people who are Indians fans, and it was definitely a good World Series as far as, like you said, two stories. Two tales of two cities really.
Jerry: Yeah it was terrific, one of the better postseasons and a great World Series. I wound up covering the Indians pretty much all the way through and it was a fun team and an easy team for people to root for.
William: Just two more questions, and I guess you kind of went into this a little bit but are you as well-versed with other sports, sounds like you follow football a lot?
Jerry: Yeah I'm pretty good, I covered minor league hockey, the American Hockey League, in the mid-80s. I like hockey. I was a Celtics fan as a kid. I really liked the NBA, kind of got away from it. I still follow it now, not as much. I like college basketball and college football. I love watching golf, the big golf tournaments, not necessarily every golf tournament but the Masters has a close finish or U.S. Open, I love to sit down on Sunday and watch that. I enjoy the Olympics. I'm pretty much into most sports. Hockey, the Stanley Cup Finals, the Stanley Cup month or two is pretty compelling viewing. But yeah I would say I follow things, keep a pretty good eye on most sports.
William: That pretty much wraps up everything; is there anything else that you might like to add that we didn't cover or something that maybe people don't know about you?
Jerry: Like I said I grew up in Maine and New England, great, passionate sports fans there and I've been lucky because I've lived in a lot of different parts of the country. I've lived in Cincinnati and Denver and here in Philadelphia. I think sports is a really good vehicle to bring people together, and get away from a lot of stuff. The passion of it is what I love and even though it gets out of hand sometimes, you understand it's coming from a good place. So I just feel really fortunate to do something I love for the last 30 years or so. There aren't that many people that can say that and there are a lot of days I sit in the park and say I can't believe I'm getting paid to do this. It's fun and I'm pretty grateful to have the opportunity to do it because there's a lot of really talented young writers now who I know might not have the same opportunity just because of the way the business has gone.
Jerry has written for such prominent news outlets including the Cincinnati Post, Denver Post and Bloomberg News. He's also written for The Sporting News and Baseball America and is author of License To Deal. You can follow his work at ESPN.com.

In addition to formal training the Group organises regular social ride outs on the first Sunday of every month throughout the year. These serve as an informal method of practicing advanced riding, and provide an opportunity to meet similar enthusiasts and form an ongoing support and social group. Please review our Rideout Guide to understand what to expect.
Then checkout our Event listings to see where the next ride out will be.
While you wait there are a number of things you could do.
- We would recommend the following websites - Thames Valley Police Safer Riding and our recommended reading would start with the latest copy of The Highway Code and RoadCraft which provides the theory behind our training.

IT is no longer a question of whether the Saudi government will act to correct the imbalances in the kingdom's economy, but how it will be done and at what pace.
Riyadh is looking for ways of cushioning the blow to national living standards that balancing the budget and containing the growth in indebtedness will inevitably entail. Many options are under consideration. One that is not being considered is a continuation of the fiscal policies of the past which are clearly unsustainable.
The 1995 budget, unveiled in January, pointed the way ahead for public finance. It called for cuts in government expenditure for the second year running. The deficit is to be slashed and new steps taken to boost government earnings, at present mainly provided by proceeds from the oil industry.
This is the prescription the kingdom's creditors, potential investors and growing business community hoped for. Now they want to see results to substantiate the government's commitment to getting its finances in order.
Convincing the outside world that Riyadh is serious about slashing the deficit is a challenge. The credibility issue was highlighted by the new budget statement which showed that the goal of achieving a balanced budget in 1994 was missed by a wide margin. Instead, the deficit ballooned to SR 40,000 million, significantly more than the deficit called for in the 1993 spending programme and one of the highest ever.
Most analysts had concluded that matching income with expenditure in 1994 was unrealistic in view of the further fall in crude oil export earnings, but the scale of the deficit came as a surprise. If the government is obliged to seek financing on a similar scale in 1995, the support of a financial community that has kept faith in the Middle East's largest economy will be tested.
The of the 1995 budget are:
Spending. This has been set at SR 150,000 million, 6.2 per cent lower than in the 1994 budget. This is about 38 per cent of gross domestic product (GDP) and the lowest level for public spending since 1988. Defence spending was set at SR 49,492 million, 33 per cent of the total budget for the year and about 12 per cent of GDP (see table).
The aggregate figures underestimate government spending in several ways. The budget statement said that the municipal and water sector is projected to raise SR 1,088 million from revenues which would be spent in the year. The state telephone company is to spend what it earns from its services. This is projected at SR 2,175 million in 1995.
Income. Total government revenue is projected at SR 135,000 million, a rise of 12.5 per cent on the 1994 figure. The income forecast is conservative. It appears to be based on an assumption that average crude oil prices in 1995 will be about $1 a barrel lower than most analysts expect. Increases in visa fees and domestic air fares, the end of unlimited free telephone use within major cities and higher fuel, power and water charges are expected to raise more than SR 9,000 million for the government.
The deficit. The goal is just over SR 15,000 million, equivalent to less than 4 per cent of GDP. If this target is achieved, it will be the lowest deficit since 1983. The government is attempting to avoid international borrowing, so the amount it needs will have to be raised domestically, through further bond and note sales or more borrowing from local financial institutions.
The budget's most striking feature is the revenue-raising measures. This is the first occasion in modern times that the annual budget will reduce the living standards of many Saudi Arabians. The issue is a sensitive one. In a speech about the 1995 budget to the majlis al-shoura in January, King Fahd said increasing prices was a better option than more borrowing from the banks. It was a temporary measure and would be dropped 'as soon as matters are restored to their natural course'.
This may be a long wait, if projections contained in the IMF's annual survey of the kingdom's economic affairs are even partly accurate. This was prepared several months before the 1995 budget was unveiled. Its forecasts were based on no fundamental changes in the government's fiscal policies. These showed public expenditure rising to almost SR 190,000 million and the budget deficit reaching SR 23,800 million in 1998.
The report said that these forecasts showed the policies pursued in the first half of the 1990s were untenable and would lead to rapid growth in debt and debt service. This in turn would reduce the government's scope to cut spending, drain foreign assets, crowd out private investment and obstruct efforts to achieve sustainable economic policies.
The IMF said that the government had decided to tackle these trends through a combination of spending cuts and efforts to raise non-oil revenues. This was a move the fund welcomed. It urged Riyadh to concentrate on cutting 'unproductive' spending and finding ways to raise non-oil revenues in a lasting way. The IMF concluded that it 'supports the authorities' intentions to reduce expeditiously and substantially implicit and explicit subsidies, an approach which would also be a pre-requisite for successful privatisation.'
The 1995 budget suggests that the government is taking the IMF's advice. The implications for the economy will be profound. With government cutting its expenditure and reducing subsidies, spending on consumer and capital goods is set to continue. The 1994 trade figures show that spending in the economy has been heavily squeezed since the 1992 cyclical peak. Then, expenditure on imported goods alone totalled more than $33,000 million. In 1994, the figure was down to less than $24,000 million.
As a consequence, economic growth – which was in double figures in both 1990 and 1991 – has stagnated in the past two years. MEED estimates that there was zero real growth in 1994 and expects the economy to mark time at best in 1995. This view, shared by most analysts, was contradicted by the budget statement which said the kingdom's economy grew by 6 per cent in 1994.
The economic slow down is having its positive effects. MEED estimates that the current account deficit tumbled to about $5,000 million in 1994 as spending on imports was compressed. Other analysts believe the deficit was higher than the MEED estimate, but well down on the level recorded in 1993. The balance of payments outlook is also difficult to judge. The IMF forecasts the deficit could grow to more than $16,000 million in 1995, rising to almost $19,000 million the following year. In contrast, the Petroleum Finance Company of Washington, in a recent forecast for the GCC, projects a Saudi deficit of less than $11,000 million in 1995, falling to less than $10,000 million in the following 12 months.
Inflation is under control. The budget statement said that the consumer price index rose by only 0.6 per cent in 1994 compared with 0.8 per cent in 1993. The government's determination to defend the parity of the riyal against the dollar coupled with growing competition in the Saudi market should ensure that price rises will continue to be modest, despite the 1995 utility price rises.
Oil muscle
The strongest muscle in the kingdom's economy is the oil sector. Oil production in 1994 averaged more than 8 million barrels a day (b/d) for the third complete consecutive year, confirming Saudi Arabia's position as the world's leading crude oil exporter. Unless Iraqi oil exports are allowed and markets are disrupted, the kingdom's output and exports should remain steady throughout 1995.
The oil price news is also encouraging. If OPEC discipline holds, and Iraq remains embargoed, there is reason to believe they could rise a further $1 a barrel during the year. Saudi Aramco is working to increase its revenues from petroleum products and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) sales. The increases in petrol prices in the 1995 budget should help free up refined products for export.
Saudi Basic Industries Corporation (Sabic) had an excellent year in 1994 and other non-oil industries are making inroads into regional and international export markets. These achievements suggest that the kingdom has many of the ingredients for a positive economic performance. The policy-makers are now tackling the challenge of creating the right mixture of policies for consistently strong growth in the future.

School enrollment steady
Early enrollment figures for the public and private school students in LaSalle Parish shows a very slight decrease from the past school year, according to figures released this week. Enrollment in public and private schools decreased from 2,848 last year to 2,845 this year – a decrease of only three students.
However, when you add in the students who are home schooled, plus other students enrolled in private schools not seeking state approval in the parish, the total number of students in the parish is much higher. It is estimated that another 100 or so students fall into this category.

Foreign Office on Wednesday confirmed an Iranian military drone was shot down by the Pakistan Air Force on June 19.
Spokesman Naees Zakaria said the unmanned aircraft had flown four kilometers inside Pakistani territory when it was brought down by a warplane.
"The authorities have exchange information over the issue with Iranian officials," he added.
Pakistan, as part of its counter-terrorism efforts, has recently stepped up border management in an attempt to better check cross-border movements of suspected terrorists.
Work on the Pakistan Gate in Taftan along the Pak-Iran border was completed in 2016. This border crossing point is the oldest trade route to Iran and Europe and thousands of foreigners and locals travelling to Europe and Iran by road each year use this crossing point.

Taylor Swift Releases Statement After Groping Trial Verdict
Taylor Swift has released a full statement after the conclusion of her groping trial against a former Colorado deejay today.
The jury concluded and found that David Mueller did assault and batter her. Made up of six women and two men who reportedly came to the unanimous decision, E! News reports.
Taylor is seeking only one dollar in damages after he groped her during a photo opp years ago.
The radio DJ, who sued Taylor for $3 million after accusing her of getting him fired from his job, had his case thrown out on Friday.
"I want to thank Judge William J. Martinez and the jury for their careful consideration, my attorneys Doug Baldridge, Danielle Foley, Jay Schaudies and Katie Wright for fighting for me and anyone who feels silenced by a sexual assault, and especially anyone who offered their support throughout this four-year ordeal and two-year long trial process," Taylor says.
"I acknowledge the privilege that I benefit from in life, in society and in my ability to shoulder the enormous cost of defending myself in a trial like this. My hope is to help those whose voices should also be heard. Therefore, I will be making donations in the near future to multiple organizations that help sexual assault victims defend themselves."

European Integration: Strategic Market Research and Industry Structures
24 Pages Posted: 20 Jul 2009
Date Written: 2000
The paper is concerned with the impact of market research prior to integration, on the structures of noncompetitive industries in integrated economy. The analysis focuses on separated, single commodity, monopolistic markets with stochastic demand. Monopolistic firms are considered in dynamic multiperiod model, where intertemporal links are determined by expenditures on market research in a present period and benefits from this activity (i.e., smaller variance of the prediction error) in the future. Assuming that each firm maximizes its total discounted expected utility from profit in indefinite time, we show that the optimal market research strategy is stationary and depends on market size. Consequently, in the period following integration firms operating prior to integration in small markets (such as Slovenia, Czech Republic, Hungary or Estonia) are expected to have much less information about the integrated market than their competitors operating before integration on European market. This informational asymmetry may affect the structure of the industry in integrated economy. In the extreme case, the firm operating before integration in the small market can be ruled out from the integrated market.
Keywords: European integration, demand uncertainty, industry structures, asymmetric information, demand forecasting, barriers for entry

The local Safeway has had blueberries for sale every day for the last year or 18 months, I think. I've seen berries from Chile (now), Mexico (earlier), North Carolina, New Jersey, Michigan, and Maine. And probably other sources. They aren't cheap, but considering the distance they have to travel, it's worth while.
I get the extension RSS feed, and have seen posts on blueberry cultivation in the South. They're reporting the results from experiment stations, and from the field Extension is, of course, partially funded by USDA. But there's also this announcement -- USDA is spending $16 million to buy wild blueberries for school lunch and food bank programs.
So on the one hand USDA is promoting the spread of blueberry culture through the US, while on the other hand it's encouraging wild blueberry growers, partially to mitigate downward price pressure. What's the reason for the downward pressure: I assume it's the development of cultivated blueberries in the US and to the south.
Not sure what the locavores would make of this--wild blueberries are pretty regional.

ADINA PORTER is the definition of a late bloomer. For the past 30 years, she has gradually built her presence on television screens, year-by-year grabbing guest appearances on a full-array of shows – 'Law & Order', 'ER', 'The Vampire Diaries' & 'Glee'. Just looking at her filmography over the past few decades clearly presents Porter as an actress capable of dramatic versatility. After landing recurring roles in 'True Blood' and 'The Newsroom', the spotlight had finally landed on Porter to give a leading performance almost 30 years in the making: in 'American Horror Story'.
'American Horror Story: Roanoke' (2016) was my first experience of Adina Porter's acting. Her role in the first few episodes appeared to be relatively small, however this quickly grew as the season went on and by the final episode, Adina was center-stage. Her performance was met with acclaim, with many TV critics and fans suggesting that of all the cast, Adina was most likely to receive an Emmy nomination for her work on the season.
Now after completing her second full season on the Ryan Murphy anthology series, I speak with Adina as we reflect on the most recent season – 'American Horror Story: Cult'.
AC: Many fans felt that you could have received an Emmy nomination last year for your work on 'AHS: Roanoke', which season has challenged you the most?
ADINA PORTER: Thank you; that's very kind of you to say. I guess 'AHS: Cult' was very challenging. In that Beverly Hope was a newscaster, there were many lines to memorize and recite. Newscasters, especially local news reporters have a very recognizable cadence. Those particular inflections and rhythmic patterns were important for me to reproduce. When Beverly became a bit of a 'double agent,' it was challenging to discover the precise amount to reveal to the audience.
For me, you stand-out scene was in Episode 9 – 'Drink The Kool-Aid', when your character Beverly breaks down after being tricked by Kai into thinking you were drinking poison. What was your favorite scene?
Thank you, once again. The meltdown scene in "Drink the Kool-Aid" was interesting. The 'powers that be' came down to set when that scene was shot, specifically to make sure I could bring the emotion. So I made sure to breakdown when the camera was on my face and on my back. I also enjoyed delivering the news report of Harrison's dismembered body being found.
Once again, you've had another character that has survived the season. Despite the secrecy, are you given an idea as to how many episodes you will be involved in?
It is complicated with 'American Horror Story', in a good way. As an actor, one is told, by an agent how many episodes are guaranteed. So you have an idea how many episodes for which you will be paid. With the AHS franchise, you have no idea what 'twist and turns' will subsequently transpire in the writers' room. You have absolutely no idea what's going to happen to your character or how long your character will survive. It's never about the actor. To quote Shakespeare: "The play's the thing."
As has been the case in the past few years, American Horror Story has had predominately female episodic directors at the helm, who did you particularly enjoy being directed by?
Being directed by Angela Bassett is always a treat. Especially in Season 7, after getting to know her as a scene partner in Season 6, I was extremely comfortable. We even carpooled to a few locations; she has amazing stories.
If offered, would you direct an episode of the show?
Not yet. I don't know enough about camera angles, lighting or editing to tackle that job…yet. I do know how to get a performance out of myself. Perhaps I'm also too selfish. The acting is just one piece of the puzzle. I'm still discovering that as I view the finished product and compare — what is on screen — to my memory of what we shot. Now I know what people mean by the expression: "It's all about the editing."
What other Ryan Murphy show would you be particularly keen to be a part of?
Who wouldn't want to be part of one of his real crime stories? And to have the added challenge of portraying a real person about whom the audience already has a preconceived perception – I'd love that sort of challenge. By the way, I did work on Glee several years ago, which was a blast.
Who would you love to see join the cast next season?
Umm…myself! There is never a guarantee that Ryan Murphy is going to use an actor again. It has been an amazing ride working with the writers, producers, makeup artists, editors – the entire crew on American Horror Story – just the best. I would be thrilled to be invited back.
