Japan scrambled eight fighter jets on Thursday after a Chinese state-owned plane breached its airspace for the first time, over islands at the centre of a dispute between Tokyo and Beijing.
It was the first incursion by a Chinese state aircraft into Japanese airspace anywhere since the country's military began monitoring in 1958, the defence ministry said.
The move marks a ramping-up of what observers suggest is a Chinese campaign to create a "new normal" -- where its forces come and go as they please around islands which Beijing calls the Diaoyus, but Tokyo controls as the Senkakus.
It also comes as ceremonies mark the 75th anniversary of the start of the Nanjing Massacre, when Japanese Imperial Army troops embarked on an orgy of violence and killing in the then-Chinese capital.
F-15 jets were mobilised after a Chinese Maritime Surveillance aircraft ventured over the islands just after 11 am (0200 GMT), Chief Cabinet Secretary Osamu Fujimura told reporters.
"It was a fixed-wing Y-12 aeroplane belonging to the Chinese State Oceanic Administration. We confirmed that this aeroplane flew in our country's airspace," he said.
"It is extremely regrettable. We will continue to resolutely deal with any act violating our country's sovereignty, in accordance with domestic laws and regulations."
The Y-12 is a twin-turboprop.
Japan mobilised eight F-15 jets and an E2C early-warning aircraft, the Asahi Shimbun reported, citing a defence ministry source. But the incident appeared to have passed off without any direct confrontation.
In Beijing, China's foreign ministry termed the flight as normal.
"China's maritime surveillance plane flying over the Diaoyu islands is completely normal," said spokesman Hong Lei.
"China requires the Japanese side to stop illegal activities in the waters and airspace of the Diaoyu islands," Hong said, adding they were "China's inherent territory since ancient times".
The coastguard said its regular patrol had spotted the plane.
"At about 11:06 am today, a patrol boat from the Japan Coast Guard confirmed the flight of a fixed-wing aeroplane, which belongs to the Chinese Oceanic Administration, in our country's airspace around Uotsuri Island. It was confirmed at a point about 15 kilometres south of Uotsuri," said a statement.
"The patrol boat immediately informed the fixed-wing aircraft: 'Fly without intruding into our country's airspace'. It replied to the effect that 'this is China's airspace'."
The State Oceanic Administration is part of the Ministry of Land and Resources. Its roles include law enforcement in Chinese waters.
Chinese government ships have moved in and out of waters around the islands for more than two months, but there have been no reports of any airborne action.
Four maritime surveillance vessels were logged there earlier in the day, the coast guard said, adding it had ordered them to leave.
Such confrontations have become commonplace since Japan nationalised the East China Sea islands in September, a move it insisted amounted to nothing more than a change of ownership of what was already Japanese territory.
But Beijing reacted with fury, with observers saying the riots that erupted across China had at least tacit backing from the Communist Party government.
China says 300,000 civilians and soldiers died in a spree of killing, rape and destruction in the six weeks after the Japanese military entered Nanjing on December 13, 1937.
Some foreign academics put the number of deaths lower, including China historian Jonathan Spence who estimates that 42,000 soldiers and citizens were killed and 20,000 women raped, many of whom later died.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- The Harvard men's tennis team claimed its third consecutive Ivy League victory Friday afternoon, downing Brown 5-2. The Crimson improves to 12-10 on the season and 3-2 against Ancient Eight opponents. The Bears fall to 10-14 on the year and 0-5 in the conference.
Harvard earned a win in all three doubles matches to jump out to a 1-0 lead heading into the singles portion of the match. Aba Omodele-Lucien and Christo Schultz cruised to an 8-3 victory at the top doubles spot. Alistair Felton and Andy Nguyen picked up a narrow 8-7 win at the No. 2 position. Will McNamee and Joshua Tchan rolled to victory at the No. 3 slot to complete the sweep.
Alexei Chijoff-Evans prevailed in straight sets over Brown's Kendrick Au at the No. 1 singles position. Schultz claimed Harvard's second singles win of the day, defeating the Bears' Charlie Posner in straight sets at the fourth singles spot. Felton edged Brown's Tim Klanke at the No. 5 singes match, winning 6-4, 7-6. Mac McAnulty picked up a singles win at the sixth slot, taking the third-set super-tiebreaker. McAnulty lost the first set 6-3 and then bounced back to capture the second set 6-4 and send the match to a third set.
Harvard looks to stay in contention for the Ivy title, as it hosts Yale in a pivotal matchup April 18.

"Remember," the man at the pulpit in church said, "tomorrow is Memorial Day, the day when we honor members of the military who have served our country.
"America was born because there were those who were willing to go to war – and give their lives, if necessary – in order to gain independence.
"America has become the great nation it is because of those who have been willing to go to war – and give their lives, if necessary – in order to maintain those values upon which this country was based.
"It has remained free because of our armed forces: the men and women who are willing to give whatever it takes to not only defend our freedoms and values, but to extend those rights to others."
I did not know the speaker and he did not know me; I was a visitor in the congregation, simply passing through. I was on my way to Ft. Bragg, NC, to participate in a very personal memorial service, one which would recognize members of the Special Forces Green Berets who had given their lives for their country during the previous year.
The speaker could not know there was a gold star mother in the audience, silently thanking him for his acknowledgment of the sacrifices of the men and women in our armed forces.
His words reminded me of a quote by John Stuart Mill I recently read and have pondered since: "War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse.
"The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."
It is words like these that give me consolation in my loss and fill me with gratitude rather than regret. There are worse things than death and war.
Perhaps this is the message we should contemplate on Memorial Day, we who walk among the headstones of those who have gone before.
If there is nothing in our lives for which we are willing to die, then perhaps we are not truly living.

How the 'Joker' Logo Was Made
Discover the analog process behind the logo and initial titles of the film everyone has been talking about With more than 700 million dollars raised worldwide, and a critical reception that has tilted heavily towards positive, there is no doubt that 'Joker', the biopic of the famous Batman villain–starring Joaquin Phoenix and directed by Todd Phillips–was one of the most important titles of 2019. A successful film is, almost always, the result of tens or hundreds of artists' work, creatives who give the most in their particular areas of knowledge: from direction to photography, from production design to hairdressing and costumes, 'Joker' is a particularly rich film from a creative standpoint, and this also shows in its logo. It's a logo that evokes the analog and tangible spirit of the film, and that, surprisingly, was not created digitally but using old techniques: with blocks of wood loaded with ink. A powerful creative decision whose author, designer and animator Chad Danieley, has explained in detail on a reddit post.

Meta Tags (General)
Posted by , Last modified by Michelle Mabuti on 15 February 2018 08:23 AM
Meta Tags:
Meta tags provide information about a given webpage, most often to help search engines categorize them correctly, but also to give instructions to visitors web browsers about a website. The meta tags are inserted into the HTML document, but are often not directly visible to a user visiting the site. While meta tags are less significant today than they were in years past, they are still an important element of a website and should not be overlooked. Each individual tag represents a different category or topic and some tags can actually have an active affect on your website by redirecting a page, or by keeping search engine "bots" away. (More on search engines under the Search Engine Optimization topic in these help files.)
*Note: The Web Builder Configuration meta tag menu allows you to setup site-wide settings for the meta tags of pages. Individual pages can also have individual meta tags setup when editing the specific pages. If you setup an individual page's meta tag settings, the page's settings will overide the site-wide settings on that page.
*Note 2: The Web Builder Configuration meta tag menu only allows you to setup site-wide settings for the meta title, description, keywords, and charset. If you would like to setup other meta tags, such as the "meta robots" tag, you can do so in each page's setup in the "Meta Other" box.
*Tip: You can setup individual meta tags for each page when editing your website's pages. This allows you to be page specific in the title, description, and keywords for each page. You can also use each page to target different keywords to help you rank better in the major search engines for more keywords.

Rev. Fr Ian Nield is a priest in the Deanery of New Zealand within the Antiochian Orthodox Archdiocese of Australia, New Zealand, and All Oceania.
Ian James Nield was born in Oldham, England in 1961. He was christened in October 1961 at Saint Margaret's Church, Hollinwood and was brought up as a High Church Anglican. With his parents he moved to New Zealand in 1970.
He was educated at various schools in New Zealand and England in the 1970's before commencing his studies at the University of Waikato in 1980. There was no Anglican chaplaincy at university so he sought the pastoral oversight of the Roman Catholic chaplains on campus, Fr Gerald Quin and Fr Graham Alexander. It was at university he met his future wife Joanne - they were married at Saint James Anglican Church, Lower Hutt, NZ, by Canon Stuart Anderson in 1986.
In 1987 Ian and his wife moved to England so that he could pursue his doctoral studies. He completed his PhD in mathematics in 1990 and returned to New Zealand in 1994, settling in Auckland. In 1998 the Nield family moved back to Lower Hutt.
By 1998 it had become painfully obvious that Ian could no longer call the Anglican Church his ecclesial home. After a period of instruction the whole family was received into the Orthodox Church on Palm Sunday, 1999.
Dr Nield was asked on several occasions by Metropolitan Archbishop Paul Saliba to take up ordained ministry. In late 2002, Ian recognised this calling and accepted His Eminence's request that he be the priest to the mission in Wellington. Consequently he was ordained to the diaconate and the priesthood in January 2003, and serves as head of mission in Wellington. Fr Ian serves Eastern rite in Wellington and Western Rite in Lower Hutt on alternating weeks.
Fr Ian has served on the Archdiocesan board of trustees since September 2000 and assists the Dean, V. Rev. Fr Jack Witbrock in the administration of the Deanery of New Zealand.
Fr Ian has fulltime secular employment as a senior official at the Reserve Bank of New Zealand. He holds degrees in Physics and Mathematics and has professional qualifications in Finance.
Fr Ian and his wife have four children who are all homeschooled.

That's because there is a reason why he spent all those years getting up in the dark to swim all those endless laps. There's a reason why he is the greatest swimmer in history and the most decorated Olympian of all time. And it is not because he was driven toward wealth and fame and all the perks that come with being a jet-set athlete.
He certainly used all that as the carrot on the stick as he was grinding through his last Olympic cycle. He wanted to play golf and go to Vegas and sit down with the sharks at the World Series of Poker. Who wouldn't?
Well, now he's played a ton of golf and figured out that he's not going to make it to the Masters. He has seen his share of river cards in Texas hold-em. He is set up for life with a large variety of commercial endorsement deals. He's got his hometown swim complex and is in a good place with his personal life.
And it's not enough.
Maybe this is presumptuous, but here goes anyway: Phelps has gotten the itch to swim again for some very basic reasons — first and foremost the fact that he is a fierce competitor who has spent much of his life competing at the highest possible level. He traded all those brutal mornings in the pool for the kind of adrenaline rush that the average human can not even imagine. If he didn't miss that, he wouldn't be superhuman.
The real question is not whether he should attempt a comeback and try to make a run at the 2016 Rio Olympics. That's entirely up to him. He has more than earned the right to climb back on the Olympic stage if he can prove to himself and the swimming world that he still has what it takes to add to his unmatched career medal count. The real question is what happens to his legacy if he falls far short of what may be some unrealistic expectations.
The answer, of course, is nothing.
Phelps will still be the greatest swimmer in history if he goes to the Arena Grand Prix in Mesa, Ariz., next week and falls off the blocks.
Concern that his legacy might be damaged by a pedestrian performance flies against both history and logic. There have been plenty of instances where the greatest of the greats have stayed at the party too long, but whatever disappointment that has generated among their fans and the sports historians has dissipated relatively quickly.
Muhammad Ali certainly should have stopped fighting long before he did, but he is more universally revered now than when he was in his prime. Michael Jordan made a triumphant comeback with the Chicago Bulls after announcing a premature retirement to pursue a baseball career, then made a less-triumphant one at 39 with the Washington Wizards, but he's still considered by many to be the greatest basketball player of all time.
Phelps knows that he isn't 22 years old, and he is adjusting his training and event schedule accordingly. It's pretty obvious that he still needs swimming, and it's equally apparent that swimming still needs him, so there really isn't a downside.
He has excelled in one of those rare professions where you're considered old at 28, but it would be foolish to discount his chances of returning to the Olympics or climbing back onto the medal stand.
It is times like these that recall the day a 40-year-old Reggie Jackson hit three home runs in a game against the Kansas City Royals in 1986.
After the game, somebody asked venerable manager Gene Mauch if he was surprised to see such a tremendous feat from a legendary player who was so far on the other side of the hill.
"I'm never surprised,'' Mauch said, "when special people do special things."

In Samsung's latest mobile phone nomenclature, R stands for Royal and is second only to the S or Super range. So, to take a closer look at the Samsung Galaxy R - the first R of its kind - when compared to the Samsung Galaxy S II, was a good insight into just where this group of phones will be pitched in the future. Fortunately, IFA 2011 provided that perfect opportunity to get our hands on.
With a 4.2-inch LCD screen, the difference between the R and the first edition S II was actually quite similar to that between the S II and the S II LTE. That said, the R's form factor is probably more similar to the LTE version with a slightly thicker frame and smoother, although still brushed, back metal finish.
On the inside, things take a bit of a hit with a more standard dual-core 1GHz processor but, in our play time, that made little difference to the slickness of the TouchWiz-topped Android Gingerbread operating system. There's also a drop in megapixels to 5MP rather than 8MP but, with 720p video recording still possible, and the AF hunting on the SGS II a bit of an issue anyway, it's no major loss.
The place you're going to worry on the spec sheet is with the screen technology itself. Samsung has gone for a more price-conscious Clear LCD than the Super AMOLEDs of the S series. The good news is that, although it wasn't possible to put the R through its paces, what we did see of the brightness and colours were impressive enough. The bottom line is that, if you didn't know, you might well mistake this phone for one of its bigger brothers.
We still don't know how much the R is going to cost or when it's coming, but the answers are: not as much as the SGSII and soon, in that order.

WALTHAM, Mass. – Led by third baseman Greg Bates the Owls of Keene State College (25-9, 8-2 Little East) recorded a Little East Conference sweep over baseball (16-13-1, 5-5 Little East) Saturday afternoon at Yetten Field. In game on the Owls snuck past the Beacons with a 9-6 win in 10 innings, while in the nightcap Keene State earned a 14-7 win over UMass Boston.
On the day Bates went 7-for-9 with three RBI and four runs scored. Of seven hits, four were doubles. Kyle Morrill, who batted second for Keene State capped off the one-two punch as he went 5-for-11 with three RBI and three runs scored.
For the Beacons Matt Consiglio (Southbury, Conn.) and Jamill Moquette (Boston, Mass.) both kept their hitting streaks alive, as Consiglio recorded five hits in the doubleheader, while Moquette finished with three. Each player closed out the doubleheader with a double to continue what has been a very hot couple of weeks for the two infielders.
Earning the game-one decision for Keene was Tim Quagliaroli, his fourth of the year. The righty closed out the final 2.2 innings in which he allowed no runs on two hits, while also striking out three, giving his team the window they needed to take the extra-inning victory.
Daniel Heefner (Tracy, Calif.) put together another strong performance as he surrendered just three runs on seven hits, while fanning a total of seven Owls. He only allowed two walks in the no-decision.
The Owls drew first blood in Saturday's doubleheader as they scored the first three runs of the opener. UMass would remain scoreless until the fifth when their offense came alive in a big-way as they put-up five runs to take their first lead of the day.
Keene would get the first out of the inning, but it would take some time before they saw the second. Jack DeBiase (Prospect, Conn.) would be the first Beacon to reach base in the inning after he was hit by a pitch. From there UMass cranked out four extra base hits (2 doubles, 2 triples) and one single to take control of the scoreboard. Moquette recorded the first triple of the inning, which scored DeBiase.
Moquette then made his way home on an RBI double from Consiglio. The junior would then trade places with outfielder Charles LaPaglia (Marshfield, Mass.) after crushed a double to left center. Wilberto Sanjuro (Boston, Mass.) gave UMass their fourth run of the inning on his RBI triple. Collin Keefer (Charlotte, N.C.) would score Sanjuro on his RBI single. Keefer would eventually end-up on third after stealing second and taking advantage of a throwing error by the catcher.
Keene did manage to get out of the inning however only down by two. That deficit increased by one in the seventh after Mark McCormack (Shelton, Conn.) scored on a wild pitch. The Owls then tied the game at 6-6 in the eighth with a three-run inning of their own. After scoreless inning and a half, Keene stepped to the plate in the top of the 10th. It was then that they were able to break the tie and eventually the game one victory.
In game two the Owls wasted no-time control of the contest as they jumped out a 6-1 lead after the first. They then extended their lead to seven over the next two innings (10-3). They would then get four more runs in the fifth, while UMass was held to just one in the same inning. Down but not out the Beacons showed some life in the seventh when they put-up three runs to cut Keene's lead back to seven. Unfortunately the late inning rally could not bring down the Owls as they allowed just one more Beacon hit, a double from Ty Buccetti (Wallingford, Conn.), over the final two innings of play.
Jeff Pelkey earned the conference win, his fourth of the year, while Will Barrack, who was making his first conference start of the season was handed the loss.
Baseball returns to action tomorrow when they take on Wentworth Institute of Technology at noon at Yetten Field.

Last Season
The Harvard heavyweight four defeated Oxford Brookes University to win the Prince Albert Cup, while Radcliffe alumnae contributed to a pair of Henley wins. The four came from behind to win in both the semifinals and final, setting an event record with its winning semifinal time.
The heavyweight freshman eight also set an event record before falling in the Temple Cup semis. The Harvard heavyweight varsity also lost in the semifinals, by just one-third of a length to Leander Club A.
Former Radcliffe All-American Esther Lofgren '08-09 pulled off a Henley double by helping the United States win both the Remenham Challenge Cup and Princess Grace Challenge Cup, filling in for an injured rower in the Remenham eights event. Caryn Davies '05 joined Lofgren in the Princess Grace-winning quad.
Harvard's Henley History
Harvard crews have traveled to the Henley Royal Regatta many times and returned home with impressive victories. The first to win was the legendary 1914 junior varsity, which became the first American crew to win the coveted Grand Challenge Cup.
In 1972, Harvard entered the first college freshman crew to win the Thames Cup. One year later, the Crimson's junior varsity crew was its first to win the Ladies' Challenge Plate. In 1985, the Crimson won Henley's Grand Challenge Cup, its fifth and most recent title in Henley's most prestigious race. (Harvard also won Grand titles in 1939, '51 and '55.) In 1990, Harvard returned and captured the Ladies' Challenge Plate. The varsity four with coxswain set a course record while winning the 1993 Britannia Cup. Harvard then won the Ladies' Plate for an unprecedented fourth time in 1998.
Harvard's success at Henley has continued into the 21st century. In 2001, its freshmen won the Temple Cup, while in 2002 Harvard won an amazing three titles, in the Ladies' Challenge Plate (varsity), Britannia Cup (four) and Temple Cup (freshmen). The Crimson has increased its total of Ladies' Plates to seven with wins in 2007 and '10. The Crimson added a Prince Albert Cup win last year, its seventh Henley trophy since 2001.
Radcliffe has not raced in the Henley Royal Regatta since 2007, when the Black and White fell to Oxford Brookes University and Nottingham Rowing Club. Radcliffe reached the Henley semifinals in 2003, topping the entry from Nottingham University and the University of Bristol before losing to eventual champion Western Rowing Club and Victoria City Rowing Club.
Ladies' Challenge Plate
Harvard is one of seven boats entered in the event and will open competition, which is the top competition for university and club eights below the open Grand Challenge Cup, Friday against Sport Imperial Boat Club and Leander Club. Seniors Michael DiSanto, Matthew Edstein, Patrick Lapage and Sam O'Connor helped Harvard win the Ladies' Plate in 2010, and coxswain David Fuller steered the Crimson four to a Prince Albert victory last year.
Remenham Challenge Cup
Ten crews are entered in the final draw in the invitation race for women's eights. Radcliffe will begin competition in Thursday's first round, facing the entry from Thames Rowing Club and Henley Rowing Club. The Black and White is racing its second regatta in England, having placed second at the Henley Women's Regatta earlier this month.
Temple Challenge Cup
Harvard owns two of the 32 student eights in this event. Harvard freshman boats have reached the semifinals in each of their last three tries in the Temple Cup. The Crimson lightweights are competing as an eight after racing a four in the Prince Albert Challenge Cup last year. The lights race first, taking on fellow American entry Drexel Wednesday at 11:05 a.m. local time. The heavyweight freshmen take on the University of York at 3:35 p.m.
Prince Albert Cup
The Crimson begins the defense of its student four title against Durham University A Wednesday at 2:50 p.m. There are 16 crews entered in the event.
About Henley
The Henley Royal Regatta was established in Henley-on-Thames, England, on March 26, 1839 and has been held annually ever since except during the two World Wars. The Grand Challenge Cup has always been open, except in the Olympic Games year of 1908, to all established amateur clubs.
The regatta has its own rules and is not subject to the jurisdiction of the governing body of rowing in England (the Amateur Rowing Association) or the International Rowing Federation (FISA), but is officially recognized by both.
There are 20 events in total, with 499 entered crews competing in 2012, including 133 overseas crews with 43 American boats among them. The length of the course is slightly longer than the standard international distance of 2,000 meters and takes approximately seven minutes to cover. The number of races is reduced on each successive day, leaving only the finals to be rowed on the last day.

PHOENIX (Tuesday, April 10, 2012) -- Attorney General Tom Horne says a newly-signed state law will offer seniors more protection from a proliferating number of new telephone solicitation scams. Consumers have lost millions of dollars to con artists who promise to establish work-at-home businesses promising consumers substantial incomes. When the money does not materialize, consumers are left with empty bank accounts or large credit card bills.
"Consumers who are thinking about buying any type of business should be given sufficient information to make an informed decision as well as enough time to review the information. Legitimate businesses are willing to give potential purchasers a full description of their program, including the products involved, the cost to consumers and a proper notice of cancellation," said Horne. "Unfortunately, scam artists take advantage of some consumers, costing Arizonans millions of dollars every year. This new law will be a valuable tool for prosecuting these criminal predators."
Under the new law, any company or individual that sells business opportunities or any advertising or other services associated with business opportunities must:
- file an annual registration with the Arizona Secretary of State that identifies the principals of the business and provides their previous history in this industry;
- maintain a $100,000 bond with the Arizona State Treasurer, proceeds of which would be payable to consumers who are defrauded by the seller;
- provide specific, written disclosures to potential purchasers before a business opportunity is sold;
- give each consumer-purchaser a written contract; and
- provide consumers with a ten day "cooling off" period after the contract is signed.
The Attorney General's Office actively prosecutes these cases on a continuing basis. To further protect consumers from this type of fraud, Attorney General Horne advocated for legislation to regulate the sale of business opportunities. The bill was supported by the Taskforce Against Senior Abuse (TASA), a taskforce organized by Attorney General Horne to combat abuse of Arizona's senior population due to the large number of elders targeted by the these types of companies. Representative Kate Brophy-McGee, sponsored the bill and is a member of the TASA Advisory Council.
Attorney General Horne advises any consumer interested in purchasing a business opportunity to make sure the seller has complied with the new law. Consumers who are not provided with the required information should file a complaint with the Attorney General's Office. To file a consumer complaint, please contact the Arizona Attorney General's Office Consumer Information & Complaints Unit at (602) 542-5763 / (520) 628-6504 / (800) 352-8431.

Bruce Ivins was suspected by the FBI and DOJ of sending powdered anthrax to government agencies and killing five people in 2001. In 2008 he committed suicide. Most assumed he was guilty. But maybe he wasn't?
In recently released court papers, court prosecutors admitted the possibility that Ivins wasn't the Anthrax Killer at all, though they still thought he was. According to PBS Frontline, the documents say investigators never discovered the necessary equipment for creating powered Anthrax in Ivins' lab.
The government said it continues to believe that Ivins was "more likely than not" the killer. But the filing in a Florida court did not explain where or how Ivins could have made the powder, saying only that the lab "did not have the specialised equipment" in Ivins' secure lab "that would be required to prepare the dried spore preparations that were used in the letters."
Despite a $US100 million investigation, the FBI couldn't find spores on/in any of Ivins' belongings or property. Nor was there any incriminating evidence pointing them to another secret lab. But hey, more likely than not, right? RIGHT? [Frontline via Village Voice]

So today board statistics say: "19 guests, 11 members, 1 anonymous members "
Yesterday (and every time I peak in) was about the same, but there are pretty much no new posts beyond the occasional one every month or so.
So I don't get it... I mean if there are more or less about 20 people on the board on a given day, and even half are guests, how come so few posts?
I realize that this is an older device and there are often about 50% guests browsing, but I have seen more activity on really vintage sites (like Tandy, Amiga, etc).
Anyone got an idea what's up?
Also, if you're here and reading this, post a reply just as a shout-out... at least passerbys will feel posting is worthwhile (since there is an audience).
Just my 2 cents.
And yeah, I been away a long time as well, not blaming people for that, just lost as to why there seem to be users but no posts or conversations.

the question is if they are so inclined. that's the piece of information they're trying to glean.
I've heard the same thing about the UG GPA - that you should list it if it looks high, even if it didn't get you latin honors at your school.On the GPA vs. LSAT thing: I figure if a recruiter thinks "but for some youthful indiscretions, this guy would be at Harvard," that's a bit better than "ah, yet another generic candidate from mediocre School X." Some might respond in the absurd way dasharashi did, but I'm not sure I'd want to work at that kind of shop anyway.
I'm hoping the groupthink among recruiters is different.
yeah, the student who would have been at harvard but for some youthful indiscretions IS the generic candidate from mediocre school x.
If it's easy to do, then why the heck didn't you bother?

Two local Oyster Creek Generating Station employees were honored today at PECO's headquarters in Philadelphia for their outstanding volunteer achievements.
KENNETT SQUARE, Pa. (March 4, 2009) - Two local Oyster Creek Generating Station employees were honored today at PECO's headquarters in Philadelphia for their outstanding volunteer achievements. The winners of Exelon's annual Energy for the Community Awards awarded $100,000 to a total of 12 recipients company-wide. The money is donated to the employees' chosen non-profit organizations.
"Many Oyster Creek employees donate their time and money to charitable organizations in our community," said Tim Rausch, Oyster Creek vice president. "I am proud of the work they do everyday to help make a difference in people's lives. They have made a positive impact on the Oyster Creek community."
The men and women who received awards this year worked on behalf of a variety of issues, including health and wellness, cancer research, emergency preparedness and environmental.
The two local winners, nominated by their peers, are:
· Nancy Eriksen, records management manager - For the past 10 years, Nancy has served on the board of directors for the Natural Resources Environmental Federation of New Jersey, the organization that operates the Lighthouse Center in Waretown. The Lighthouse Center, located on 194-acres overlooking Barnegat Bay, offers environmental workshops to teachers and local children. Nancy is the primary fundraiser for the Center, but she also helps promote environmental stewardship.· Stephen Serpe, reactor operator - Steve is a volunteer emergency medical technician for the Lacey Township First Aid Squad in Forked River. Through VolunteerMatch, Steve has tracked almost 700 volunteer hours this past year. Steve answers first aid calls, caring for patients ranging from minor injuries to cardiac respiratory arrest. Steve's peers on the volunteer ambulance squad also have great respect for him because they elected him First Lieutenant, which is the second highest position on the squad.
"Nancy is most enthusiastic in educating people about conservation awareness," said Terry O'Leary, president, Natural Resources Education Foundation of New Jersey. "She is also extremely dedicated at continuing to seek funding for environmental stewardship projects. She is the model for activism and always inspires others by her work ethic."
"Steve is truly dedicated and committed to the Lacey Township First Aid Squad. It is the unscheduled nature of emergency response that places extra burdens on one's duties at home and work. Steve has a challenging yet rewarding job, and he has extra family responsibilities, yet he still gives so much time to us. We respect Steve all the more for his obvious dedication," said Jon von Briesen, treasurer of Lacey Township First Aid Squad.
Exelon Nuclear employees are devoted members of our communities. In 2008, they gave $1.88 million to local United Ways where our plants are located in Pennsylvania, Illinois and New Jersey.
Exelon's Energy for the Community Employee Volunteer Awards serve as an expression of the company's commitment to the community and its employees. Winners earned awards for their non-profits up to $20,000, $10,000 or $5,000.

The Soviet Union were the first winners of what was to become the UEFA European Championship in 1960, coming from behind against Yugoslavia in Paris to prevail 2-1 in extra time. Viktor Ponedelnik, aged 23, scored the winner seven minutes from the end but even half a century on, after a long career in journalism, the memory remained fresh.
Scoring the winner...
I always enjoy remembering that final. Having beaten Yugoslavia, the Soviet national team became the first ever European champions. No one can forget such moments of glory, be it the public, football fans or the players themselves. As for myself, the 113th-minute winner was the most important of my whole career.
True, there were plenty of goals scored for my clubs and for the national team, but there are matches and goals which are really special, a high point of a player's sporting life. That was the star moment of my life. For that goal I must give credit to a superb cross by our left winger Mikhail Meshki from Georgia. But the Soviet Union is no more and Georgia is a foreign country now.
The USSR's strongest side...
Going through the whole history of the Soviet national team, I reckon it's a general belief of football experts that the strongest side was the one at the [FIFA] World Cup in Chile in 1962. Despite the fact that we were defeated by the hosts in the quarter-finals, the international press and experts regarded us very highly.
Unfortunately a disaster befell our great goalkeeper Lev Yashin. Twice during the tournament he suffered concussion and subsequently he could not play to the best of his ability. If things had gone differently we'd have played Brazil in the final, that's for sure.
Having Lev Yashin in goal...
I was lucky and honoured to play alongside this goalkeeper, the greatest of them all. He remains in our memory not just as the number one goalie, but first and foremost as a great human being. He has a good family. When veterans get together we always invite his wife Valentina to join us, and we remember him together. He's got children and grandchildren too, so the Yashin name lives on.
Captain Igor Netto…
Igor Netto was a fantastic player who led the Soviet national team to their biggest victories at the 1956 Olympics and the 1960 European Championship. He was a genuine captain, a leader capable of igniting everybody at the toughest moments and of creating a cohesive unit. He also performed some of the coach's responsibilities, directing the play on the pitch – our coach, Gavril Kachalin, always delegated that role to Netto.
In everyday life he was a shy and modest man, but he always had his say and argued his point to the end. It was not by chance that our national team's greatest moments are tied to his name.

The yellow and gray color trend that swept through the home decor industry last year has found a new home in this season's crop of scrapbooking supplies. As the Scrapbook Update crew covered the show floor at CHA Summer 2011, we spotted line after line that was either completely inspired by a yellow and gray color palette or at least included hints of it in some way.
When I say that this color scheme was big in the home decor industry last year, I mean big! And from the looks of things, it's still going strong this year. To demonstrate just how popular this color combination is, I put together a little pinboard on Pinterest displaying some of my favorite yellow and gray images from around the web.
And now, just as I collected some of my favorite home decor examples of yellow and gray, I've brought together a sampling of my favorite yellow and gray scrapbook supplies, as well!
Some scrapbooking collections are dominated by a yellow and gray color scheme, such as the Farmhouse line from October Afternoon. A sampling of decidedly yellow and/or gray papers are shown below, along with a similarly hued set of Sprinklers and a Wrap Pack from the same collection.
The Lemon Flower stack from Die Cuts with a View mixes yellow and gray with bright pops of green and sports both florals and sophisticated graphic prints. In this case the shade of gray used has a decidedly cool tone, and in fact silver glitter is used on many of the sheets in the paper pad.
My Mind's Eye warms up the yellow and gray color scheme with their Lost and Found 2: Sunshine collection, which also mixes in a fair amount of black and cream to give the entire collection a vintage, nostalgic feel.
Remember when I mentioned that yellow and gray was a trendy color combination in the home decor industry last year? Here's proof! When I redecorated our bedroom last summer, I selected yellow and gray bedding items from Target's Dwell Studio collection, and when it came time to scrap a photo of the results, I instinctively reached for My Mind's Eye's Sunshine collection.
Supplies | Patterned Paper: My Mind's Eye (Lost and Found Two: Sunshine Memories "Blossoms", Sunshine Two of Us Damask, Sunshine Forever "Classified", 6×6 Pad); Cardstock: Bazzill Basics Paper (White); Letter Stickers: American Crafts (Amy Tangerine: Ash); Decorative Sticker: Studio Calico (Yellow Journaling Stickers); Color Mist: Studio Calico (Sunshine); Button: Making Memories; Brads: My Mind's Eye (Lost and Found Two: Sunshine); Journaling Spot: Becky Higgins (Project Life); Cabochon: Etsy; Date Stamp: Office Supply
Teresa Collins' newly announced mid-season release, Carolina Breeze, mixes her sophisticated style with soft floral patterns.
The Sunshine Broadcast line from Sassafras is filled with sunny yellows and calm grays, with hints of aqua that evoke the feel of the ocean after a storm.
One of newcomer Authentique's debut lines, Blissful, is undeniably yellow and gray, and like the My Mind's Eye's Sunshine collection it also mixes in creams and blacks for a vintage feel.
Rhonna Farrer weaves her digital magic in her new Grateful Glam collection, putting her signature graphic flair on the yellow and gray trend.
Not every new line that incorporates the yellow and gray trend does so throughout the entire collection. Several new paper lines include this color palette in just one or two items in a line, sometimes mixed on the same side, and sometimes with gray on one side of the print and yellow on the other.
American Crafts' Amy Tangerine line is a perfect example of mixing just a touch of yellow and gray into a diverse collection. "Hello Doily" and "Oh Happy Grey," shown below, both sport gray on the front and yellow on the back, and the Kale (actually a greenish-yellow) and Slate Thickers add just a touch more of this fall trend.
Lily Bee's Memorandum line includes a yellow and gray paper, "Time Clock," in a pretty floral-inspired print.
KI Memories puts their signature funky twist on yellow and gray in this print ("Her Secret") from their Hot Date collection.
Crate Paper's Farmhouse line also includes a yellow and gray print, "Textile," with a subtle architectural pattern in yellow on the front and a warm gray sprinkled with red dots on the back.
The yellow and gray color scheme seems to have some serious staying power in the home decor industry, but will it have the same hold on the scrapbooking industry? Only time (and the next CHA) will tell!

Car-deer collisions on decline in Indiana
October 09, 2013 at 07:51 AM
FORT WAYNE, Ind. (AP) — Collisions between automobiles and deer are on the decline in Indiana, a trend experts say could be driven by changes in hunting rules and by motorists' growing diligence in avoiding deer.
The Associated Press
Indiana had 15,205 deer-related collisions in 2011, the most recent year for which data are available, The Journal Gazette reported Saturday (http://bit.ly/1bIC2yn ). That's down from just less than 16,000 collisions in 2010 and more than 16,800 in 2009, according to the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute.
State Farm Insurance's annual survey of car-deer collisions shows that the likelihood of such a collision declined 23 percent in Indiana between 2011-12 and 2012-13. The company's survey, released last month, examined deer-vehicle crash claims filed by State Farm drivers and then extrapolated those numbers to include all insured drivers.
Indiana ranked 27th in the nation in last year's survey, but it now ranks 33rd, with drivers having a 1-in-218 chance of hitting a deer, the survey found.
"It's hard to speculate, but we do think part of it is raised awareness," State Farm spokeswoman Missy Dundov said of the decrease. "We've been doing this for 11 years, and in our eyes, the awareness we've brought to the topic is making drivers drive safer," she told the newspaper.
Another reason for the decrease could be a change in hunting regulations for white-tailed deer.
Under the rules that took effect in 2010, hunters in some urban areas were allowed to begin hunting a few weeks before the official start of the season.
The state Department of Natural Resources said that change was intended to target parts of Indiana where deer densities were greater than desired.
"Some of those changes have been aimed for urban areas where a deer's biggest threat is a vehicle bumper," Phil Bloom, spokesman for the DNR, said via email. "Although we have yet to fully realize the full impacts of these rule changes, a reduction in deer-vehicle collisions is a positive trend we hope continues."
In Indiana, nearly half of all vehicle accidents involving deer occur between October and December, the DNR says. That period includes the fall harvest, which coincides with deer mating season. Deer are most active between sunset and sunrise.
State Police and the DNR urge motorists to slow down significantly if they see a deer, even if it is far away, because deer often travel in groups. Motorists should use high-beam lights when there is no opposing traffic to scan for deer's illuminated eyes or dark silhouettes.
Motorists should use particular caution along forest edges, hills or blind turns. And following a collision with a deer, they should stay in their vehicle, check to make sure passengers are safe, and then call police. Motorists should not approach the deer because a frightened or wounded deer can inflict bodily injury.
"Despite their gentle nature, their hooves are sharp and powerful and can be extremely dangerous," Chad Stewart, a deer research specialist with the DNR, said in a statement.

WEDNESDAY, Feb. 20, 2013 (HealthDay News) -- Using real-time images of brain connections developing in late-stage fetuses, scientists say they've been able for the first time to compare the order and strength of these connections.
The research, though very preliminary, might one day lead the way to more effective therapies for brain disorders such as dyslexia, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism, the researchers said.
Scientists from the U.S. National Institute of Child Health and Human Development and Wayne State University School of Medicine looked at 25 fetal brains from a group of pregnant women between 24 and 38 weeks of gestation. The researchers used an imaging technique called functional MRI (fMRI) to visualize "communication" between various regions of the brain.
The scientists learned that connections between the right and left sides of the brains got stronger as fetuses grew older. They said they also learned that shorter distances between matching areas produced stronger signals than longer spans between corresponding areas on the brain's outer edges.
"What we're seeing is a picture of emerging connectivity . . . that the right and left side are kind of building a bridge to each other," said study author Moriah Thomason, an assistant professor of pediatrics at Wayne State, in Detroit. "It's evidence for the fact that already in fetal life, this anatomy is being constructed in a way that we would expect. But for the first time, we can show the development of these networks."
The findings are published in the Feb. 20 issue of the journal Science Translational Medicine.
While scientists had previously used fMRI scans on fetuses, this new research is the first to compare a group of fetuses and identify features of development, Thomason said. Nearly 90 percent of the pregnant mothers participating in the study were black, while the rest were white or multiracial. They later delivered 17 boys and eight girls.
MRI scans don't emit radiation, thus minimizing risk to the fetuses during the procedure. The technique showed significant connections between half of the dozens of brain areas tested.
The findings might provide groundwork for understanding how and when brain development may go awry during gestation, Thomason said. This may possibly lead to better understanding of conditions such as ADHD, dyslexia and autism, which are thought to arise from disrupted brain networks, she said.
"If we know what gets in the way of those [normal] processes, we have a better shot at treating those disorders," Thomason said. "It's not just about early identification. An additional valuable outcome is, when you can see what normal looks like and see what disruption looks like, you have the opportunity to pick out patterns that tell you about the origin of that disease," she explained.
"The brain can be a tattletale to what is going on in those diseases," Thomason added, "and that can help us develop novel treatments."
