As industry stiffs fought past rain-soaked fans into Chung King studios in Manhattan last night for a Kendrick Lamar listening party, speculation flew as quickly as over-enthusiastic daps and business cards. "This better be the rap equivalent of Thriller," one attendee muttered, demonstrating the due praise and comical hyperbole that have shadowed the Compton, California, native throughout his slow and steady rise.
In a climate where rap's most buzzed about stars shoot across the sky with the tap of a trackpad, Lamar's decade-long climb seems almost implausible. How exactly does one craft a "debut" after releasing four mixtapes, an EP and an independent album? One damn good song at a time, it seemed, as the tracks previewed from Good Kid, M.A.A.D. city depicted the best of the rapper and the worst of his hometown, side-stepping all expectations and sounding at once warmly familiar and brand-spanking new.
Lamar and his Top Dawg Entertainment/Interscope affiliates shuffled through tracks from behind soundproof glass, giving the session the air of a market research test. But the handful of journalists taking notes huddled near a speaker were no match for the cocktail party/family cookout vibe that dominated the rest of the floor, as caterers served cheeseburger sliders and chicken fingers, and cute bartenders let the Ketel One flow freely ("They ran out of cups," one attendee whispered to a friend just before the album started, "so hold onto yours to get refills"). At the start, a TDE soldier briefed the room: "The man don't fuck around with his music. We've got people in here dressed regular. If we see you with cameras or phones recording, you'll be escorted out and we keeping your shit!"
They've got a right to be stingey: GKMC feels precious. The production alone sniffs at classic status: a tight, cohesive blending of Dre's chunky, hi-gloss ridah music and the woozy, futuristic boom-bap that Lamar fans have come to love. Beats swayed between down-tempo sparse thumpers and fierce drumbreak loops that screw your face up for you – one particularly vicious cut featured the infamous Funky Worm synth that defined Nineties West Coast rap, and it gained an even sharper edge when MC Eiht showed up to spit some straight-up menace. Other features were just as unpredictable: there was Drake rhyming about flying his natural-haired East African chick back to the motherland (Israel?), Fred the Godson bringing the Bronx River Deli to the Compton Swap Meet and Lady Gaga doing something that landed between rapping and singing but didn't really feel like either. Lamar's Black Hippy cohorts Schoolboy Q, Ab-Soul and Jay Rock weren't present on these songs, but they posted up at his sides during the session, ensuring the crew was solid as ever.
And then there was Kendrick. It's all here: the growls and snarls, the nasal deadpan, the loopy hooks, the cadence flips, the double-time barrages of syllables. His stories are just as vivid this go round, clocking in four full narratives within the six songs he previewed. His lyrics have always felt hyper personal, but these verses feel white-knuckle real: "If I told you I shot a man at 16, would you believe me?" he asks without blinking. One person's name literally gets bleeped out of a verse describing a robbery, but he doesn't omit it when rapping to himself from behind the control board. He narrates the rise and fall of a high school ball player (with the brilliant chorus "now watch that black boy fly"), and confesses to being jealous of ballers and rhymers in his hood that appeared to have a better shot at making it out. "Every neighborhood is an obstacle" in the world Lamar depicts, where he's often both suspect and spectator – deep in the cave, hopelessly punching at the walls.
"October 22nd, you'll get that whole package," Lamar promised at the close of the session. With little mention of mentor Dr. Dre and more than a month until the release date, we can be sure to expect more surprises leading up to the release. There were no titles given and tracks were presented in no order – after each, he'd ask "Y'all like that song? OK, cool." When Lamar announced he'd only play one or two more, the crowd jeered and rap media mainstay Elliott Wilson shouted "three!" into the mic. "Can't do that," Kendrick quipped. "We'd be giving y'all the whole album." If the night was any indication, it'll be worth the wait.

PETERSBURGH, Ohio (WKBN) — Families lined the streets of Petersburg on Sunday night for a parade to kick off Springfield Township Community Day.
Taxpayers got a chance to see all the fire, police and emergency vehicles and personnel who keep them safe.
After the parade, there was free food and games for the kids at St. John's Lutheran Church.
Organizers said they wanted to showcase all the Petersburg community has to offer.
"Have them come out and meet the firemen and meet the EMS people and the police department, and just bring everyone together. We have a pie baking contest, and a little Mr. and Ms. Springfield, ages three to seven, contest,' said Springfield Township Trustee Robert Orr.
Orr said they plan to hold next year's community day in New Springfield and at the township's new fire station at the corner of Unity and Middletown Road the year after that.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Shares of Obagi Medical Products Inc. rose Friday after the company reported solid fourth-quarter results.
THE SPARK: Obagi said Thursday that its net income grew to $7.3 million, or 41 cents per share, over the last three months of the year from $5.1 million, or 27 cents per share, a year ago. Excluding a one-time gain from an insurance settlement the company said it earned 15 cents per share. Sales slipped to $30.3 million from $30.6 million.
Analysts expected net income of 20 cents per share and $30 million in revenue, according to FactSet.
The Long Beach, Calif., company said it has been reducing sales to unauthorized discount sites on the Internet. It also said sales of its Nu-Derm prescription skin care system improved, and it launched a new moisturizer during the quarter.
THE BIG PICTURE: Obagi's effort to reduce discounted online sales of its products has led to higher costs and affected its sales, but the company says it will ultimately be able to make those sales through its own website, which would bring higher prices and better margins.
Net income climbed to $16.6 million, or 90 cents per share in 2012, from $10 million, or 54 cents per share, in 2011. Revenue rose 6 percent, to $120.7 million.
Obagi is projecting net income of 80 to 84 cents per share and $126 million to $130 million in revenue in 2013. That includes income of 9 or 10 cents per share on $30 million to $30.5 million in revenue in the first quarter.
In December Voce Capital LLC said it planned to nominate an alternative slate of directors to replace Obagi's board. In a letter sent to Obagi's management, Voce said incentives for the board were "misaligned with, and in many ways adverse to, those of shareholders."
The firm said it owned 52,000 shares as of November, or about 0.3 percent of Obagi's stock
THE ANALYSIS: Cantor Fitzgerald analyst Irina Rivkind upgraded Obagi to "Buy" from "Hold," saying she thinks Obagi would be an attractive acquisition target. She said the company plans to launch several new products each year and plans to expand its Asian business in 2013, and she thinks its results will get stronger in the second half of the year. She said the web initiatives will take time, however.
Rivkind raised her price target to $19 per share from $15.
SHARE ACTION: Obagi rose 97 cents, or 7 percent, to close at $14.91. The stock fell 18.6 percent on Aug. 3 after the company reported its second-quarter results, but has climbed 14.2 percent since then.

DANDRIDGE, Tenn. (AP) -- Jefferson County Commission members have voted to begin securing land options for an industrial megasite.
According to the Knoxville News Sentinel, the 14-1 vote came Monday after the proposal was amended to state the county would not invoke eminent domain to option the land.
In proposing the amendment, Commissioner John Neal Scarlett said the proposal has to be good for all sides.
The Chamber of Commerce announced the project last month and it has met with stiff resistance from owners of property in the area of up to 1,800 acres for the proposed certified site.
Charlotte Kenley, who raises cattle with her husband Jack on 400 acres, said they are only stewards of the land, but don't think God intended it as a megasite.

Student Sessions
CIM family/student sessions have relocated to Keegan's Pub for a weekly learners session!
For a number of years, CIM offered a "Family, or Student Session" twice a month on Sunday afternoons at 2:30 at the Celtic Junction, hosted by Tom Lockney and Charlie Heymann. There was a small and dedicated group of students and instructors attending for years, however based on low attendance and limited instructor availability, we have join forces with the learner's session at Keegan's pub. The Keegan's/CIM learner's session takes place every Sunday afternoon from 4-6pm at Keegan's Pub at 16 University Avenue NE, Minneapolis.
The Keegan's/CIM learner's session focuses on the tunes and sets from the CIM Common Repertoire. A new tune is taught each week, and other tunes will be reviewed by playing sets from that same source. The ultimate goal is to graduate to the regular (6:00) Keegan's session and other sessions! Tom Lockney is leading the charge, but he will be joined by Charlie and other CIM instructors on occasion.
Thanks to Tom Lockney and Charlie Heymann for leading the CIM student session for the past few years and thanks to the students who have attended and learned so many tunes along with them!
CIM still hosts sessions at the Celtic Junction at gatherings such as the Open House, Volunteer party, special holiday sessions and at the Minnesota Irish Music Weekend. We look forward to seeing you there and, hopefully at the new Keegan's/CIM learner's session.

After tanking the gasoline with the price of $1.79 per gallon next to Sun Studios, we continued our trip to south. We were tired of speedways and therefore choose to drive at the U.S. Highway 61, which is also known as Blues Highway.
The Great River Road passes through handsome nineteenth century river towns, sleepy villages, and natural areas rich in wildlife. After sunset we arrived in Vicksburg, where we found nice motel for $44. In the morning we walked at the shores of Mississippi river. The Mississippi River, derived from the old word missi-sipi meaning 'big river', is the second-longest river in the United States. The river was huge. After breathing in the impressions of the big river, we continued towards south, our today's goal was to arrive in New Orleans, but also to see a lot on the road.
We stopped at Grand Village of Natchez Indians. The Natchez Indians inhabited what is now southwest Mississippi ca. AD 700-1730, with the culture at its zenith in the mid-1500s. According to historical and archaeological evidence the Grand Village was their main ceremonial center. There is not much left to see, but still you can get the feeling reading and walking there. The most impressive was Great Sun's Mound.
Our main stop at that day was in Natchez, MS, the first capital of Mississippi. Before the Civil War, Natchez had the most millionaires per capita in the U.S. and it shows. You can see more than 500 luxurious antebellum houses inside the city limits. That so much antebellum finery still exists is because Natchez, unlike Vicksburg, surrendered to Grant's army almost without a fight. The number of antebellum mansions is open to the public.
Natchez had one of the busiest slave markets in the south. Thousands of slaves worked on the local plantations. The city of Natchez is so well maintained, that walking on the streets brings you back to the old ages. You can also take a horse-carriage in order to deepen the feeling.

Kala Kolohe Hose. Photo courtesy of ProElite.com
Newly crowned ICON Sport middleweight title holder Kala Kolohe Hose will headline the undercard of EliteXC's "Return of the King" event against last-minute replacement opponent Robert McDaniel, at the Neal Blaisdell Arena in Honolulu, Hawaii this weekend.
EliteXC officials confirmed McDaniel's participation at a pre-fight press conference yesterday.
Hose, who is currently riding a six-fight winning streak, picked up the biggest win of his young career in March with a fifth-round stoppage of veteran Phil Baroni to claim the vacant ICON Sport middleweight belt. Hose remains undefeated inside the confines of EliteXC.
McDaniel, a King of the Cage veteran, most recently scored a TKO win over Alex Cisne last month. Hose's original foe, former hockey enforcer turned mixed martial artist Geoff Bumstead, had been removed from the card due to unknown reasons.
In a change of pace, the preliminary fights will be streamed on ProElite.com following the conclusion of the main card, which will be televised on Showtime starting at 10 PM ET.
The event will be headlined by an EliteXC lightweight title bout between current champion K.J. Noons and top contender Yves Edwards. Another lightweight fight between future DREAM title challenger Nick Diaz and Muhsin Corbbrey will also take place. Additional main card bouts also include former EliteXC middleweight champion Murilo "Ninja" Rua vs Tony Bonello, Ron Waterman vs Dave Herman, and Rafael Feijao vs Wayne Cole.

Ask a Law Question, Get an Answer ASAP!
The boy was 6 on the 15 April last. Grandfather last saw him in June 2014 and the grandmother got a last glimpse of him 15 Aug. The last actual contact was June 2014.
Originally we took him to parks, zoo's and the beach etc. having purchased annual tickets. But the father stopped us doing this by reducing the visit times to 2 hours about once every 5 weeks, allowing only park visits. At the end of the school holiday 2013 we asked him if he had visited his favorite zoos during the holiday, and he told us he had done nothing and no visits, not even the parks.
After the boy was born we had him all the time for about three months, and when the father felt able he was gradually given back to him. We then had him so stay over, from time to time a few times each month, and would look after him when his father practiced his music etc. His father would go away for days or a week to do gigs, sometimes abroad, so we had him for longer periods. After about two years of enjoying regular contact, it diminished to about once a month, when we could take him to the zoo's, beach parks ect. He loved these times, for which we have rather a lot of smiley photos. Probably his second most pleasurable activity was to play in our garden with his nan and myself. We had a huge trampoline, and we have many photos testifying to his extreme pleasure of playing with his nan on this. We would play all sorts of games, we had a sand pit in which we would make all sorts of things.
We had a karaoke set up in a large chalet, he loved to sing and shout on the microphones. His joy was so great and he laughed so much he sometime had a job to stand up. You can imagine the pleasure we had with him. When he started school the visits were shortened to two hours about once a month, but sometimes we were allowed to visit him at home. On the final time we were allowed to have him his father brought him to us. When his nan opened the door he threw himself at her, hugging her and asking for his grandfather, (Me) he ran in to meet me hugging me very tightly. It is our belief that perhaps his father does not realize that a little boy can love and need many people. Perhaps he felt that his love for us meant that his love for his father was diminishing. His father does not believe in letting him cry if he falls over. Once when he fell in his sitting room only slightly hurting himself, his nan said "Oh dear, come for a cuddle, and he ran to her, she kissed his head and made his feel better. But his father was very angry, saying "Leave him alone, don't baby him, he has to grow up tough." He shouldn't cry! So our time with him was soon stopped after that. He simply would not let us see him again.
Thank you for reading this, we are very sad indeed, as we feel the boy must be very unhappy. Has the father told him we don't love him any more? He also has a large family of doting aunts uncles and cousins. He has cut off all contact with them.
John R House
Hi Clare,
The father is my son in law, the husband of my deceased daughter.
You mention the £38. Please be sure to advise me if you have to charge more than this, before the event.
Many thanks

The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) holds billions of dollars in unclaimed super. Could some of it be yours?
These super balances belong to people who have changed their job, their address, or even their name in the past ten years, and as a result their super fund is now unable to contact them.
With your permission, we can search for any unclaimed super or other lost super and if we find anything we'll let you know and help you reunite with it.
To get started, just log into Member Online, click on the 'Add to my super' tab and choose the 'Consolidate with QSuper' option, or you can give us a call on 1300 360 750.
If we find any super belonging to you, we'll be in touch with the good news.
Alternatively, you can use myGov1. It can help you check if you have any money in unclaimed super accounts.
Remember: if you want to look for your super yourself, be wary of using sites other than myGov. Members who use other sites can sometimes find they have unintentionally transferred super to a fund they were not originally a member of.
Why consolidate your super?
Consolidating your super by having one account instead of multiple accounts could save you money in fees. If you find any lost and unclaimed super, you can transfer it to your QSuper account easily.
1. myGov is an external tool provided and maintained by the Australian Government.

In an article for Capital New York, I summarized the various moving parts of the state Senate leadership struggle:
The Republicans are currently negotiating with several breakaway Democrats to join them and keep them in the majority, extending their hold on the Senate despite a 2-1 voter registration disadvantage in New York State, while the supposedly ascendant Democrats negotiate among themselves over leadership positions.
This movie has screened in the Capitol before. In 2008, Democrats won 32 seats but spent two months bickering, extorting and cajoling each other to fall in behind Senate Majority Leader Malcolm Smith. Four years later, Albany is braced for the action to begin anew.
"We're popping popcorn," is how one Assembly aide put it to me.
A key question now, as was the case four years ago, is how much the Democrats are willing to bend to accommodate dissident members who have problems with the current leadership, or want special treatment or (as is most often the case) both.

I know, never sell low, but weber is really interfering with my team so far...
I am leaning toward being patient with weber, but haven't really seen him play much this year, and his stat line is brutal. Adding to my need to be patient is the fact that my defense also includes Wiz and Whitney, so I need more defensive help, not less.
Any advice would be great.

March continues mild as a lamb
Updated 7:16 am, Wednesday, March 13, 2013
Gradual warming is expected over the next few days in the Houston region.
High pressure above the mid Mississippi Valley has helped keep the area mild and dry in recent days, but moist air blowing inland from the Gulf Of Mexico is expected to help the region warm up slightly by the weekend, according to the National Weather Service.
The Gulf breeze will probably increase humidity slightly, said Charles Roeseler, a meteorologist with the weather service. Roeseler said no rain is likely for at least the next several days.
On Wednesday, the high temperature will top out near 73 degrees under sunny skies. East winds will be between 5 mph and 10 mph. The low will be about 47.
More sun is expected Thursday, when the high will be near 73. The low will be about 51.
The mercury climbs slightly on Friday. The high will be about 75. South winds will be between 5 mph and 10 mph. The low will near 56.
The weekend is likely to warm, mild and mostly sunny. The highs Saturday and Sunday will be in the upper 70s. The lows will be near 60. No rain is forecast.

approves workforce
development program with EDC
by Kim Tiefenthaler
Landmark reporter
Director of the Economic Development Council, Pete Fullerton,
spoke to the Platte County Commission on Sept. 27, regarding
a contract to put forth a work force development program
between Platte County and the EDC.
Fullerton stated that on Sept. 18, the EDC board approved
the proposal to present to the commission.
In his proposal, Fullerton stated he wanted to research
other area communities regarding their workforce development
programs. He also wants to look at what the local needs
are as a county and come up with an effective tool that
can be used as a community.
The program development commenced Oct. 1 with completion
and presentation of the program by Dec. 31, 2001. EDC
and Platte County agreed on the $15,000 cost for the program.
During the program, the EDC will also work with American
Airlines, who purchased TWA, regarding their workforce
issues such as employee retention and retraining, in order
to keep the Overhaul Base as a main contributor to Platte
County's economy.
Fullerton stated with the cutbacks going on in the airline
industry since the crisis on Sept. 11, we need to pull
together as a community to prepare for the possibility
of those cutbacks knocking at our back door.
"I believe as a community, EDC council and as leaders,
that we need to be an empathetic and sympathetic as possible
that tomorrow will be better than today."
During the meeting, the commission passed resolution
#01-20, proclaiming October 2001 as Senior Citizen Month
in Platte County.
The resolution stated that according to the 2000 United
States Census, nine percent of the population of Platte
County, approximately 6,500 residents are now over the
age of 65.
The resolution stated, 'These individuals have played
a vital role in our community for many years and are responsible
for many of the attributes that make Platte County a great
place to live and work.'
'Organizations such as Platte Senior Services, Inc.
and the Platte County Senior Citizens' Services Fund have
cooperated to provide many worthwhile programs designed
to benefit seniors in the county.'
Commissioners also approved to amend the budget for the
general revenue fund, eight special revenue funds, six
debt service funds and four capital projects fund.
In other business, bids were awarded for the power ditcher
to Hurricane Ditcher Co. of Indiana for $27,350. A bid
was also awarded to Fehrs Equipment Company of Kansas
City, MO for the hydraulic excavator for $264,768. The
bid for the Windows 2000 Recorder, was given to Voice
Products of Wichita, KS for $39,956. AT Switzer Inc. was
awarded the bid to paint the high traffic area in the
administration building of the law enforcement center
for $4,545.
Finally during the bid awards, the commission accepted
a bid from Platte Valley Construction for $10,678 to replace
the sidewalk in front of the courthouse on Main Street.
Aaron Schmidt, director of Planning and Zoning, announced
the addition of Rob Perry, engineer in planning and zoning,
as a new employee.
The next commission meeting is scheduled at 2 p.m., Oct.
4 in the Platte County administration building.

In between folding laundry and cleaning up after her children, a mom receives $5,000 to blog about an iPhone application for seven days. Another woman earns twice as much as her husband's $35,000 annual salary by hosting several one-hour "Twitter parties" each week. Yet another female blogger has received, over the past year, all-expense paid vacations to Hawaii, Aruba, and Florida, as well as four new cameras, a camcorder, computer, and so many DVDs, food and cleaning products that she lost count.
Are these female bloggers the minority or the status quo? It's nearly impossible to know.
There are 18.9 million women who write blogs, according to the Pew Research Center, and while these women chat openly about their lives online, discussions regarding how much merchandise or money they generate from these blogs remain noticeably unaddressed. Bloggers must legally tell their readers that they received a free toaster in exchange for a product review, per FTC government regulations, but they don't have to disclose how much they charge for the banner ad, or how many views they need in order to attract that banner advertiser. As a result, women bloggers zealously guard this information from readers and other bloggers.
"I recently did an article with Babble where they wanted my numbers, like how many unique views I receive a month and my total readership," says NYCityMama's Carol Cain. "I was really open with them since I thought it would be a good point of reference [to other bloggers]. I know I would have liked to know [this information] when I was just starting out. But as soon as [the article] was published online, I asked [Babble] to retract the information. Nearly all of the comments said I was lying or fudging the numbers. It was hurting my credibility. [Women bloggers] have this sense that Brand XYZ only has a couple thousand dollars to spend and [sponsorships] are only given to so many bloggers. They want to protect their portion of the pie."
Women bloggers neither dispel or confirm this perception that they swing toward the financial extreme — either earning six figures or nothing from their efforts — and this helps to muddle a more accurate financial analysis. It should be noted that among the 16 million men bloggers, per Pew Research Center statistics, many men also earn money from their online efforts, but they, collectively, haven't been as aggressive or profitable as their women counterparts in generating financial support from brands.
Despite the desire for secrecy, based on conversations with brand executives, marketing analysts, and women bloggers, it's possible to paint a clearer portrait of the financial implications associated with female blogging. For one, the term woman blogger is a misnomer. These women are active in all forms of social media, including Twitter, video, and podcasting, says SheSpeak's Julie Wohlberg.
Also, in order to maximize their financial potential, women need to concentrate on one or two topics, and it's more profitable to blog about travel and parenthood than knitting or stamp collecting. "Mom and tech/business bloggers get a lot of attention as revenue-generators, but food, entertainment, do-it-yourself, and fashion are hugely valuable verticals as well. There are even purely personal storytelling bloggers who are turning their way with words into a livelihood. Women who blog are the new Oprahs, Marthas and Ermas," says BlogHer's Elisa Camahort Page.
"You can break it down like this," says BSM Media's Maria Bailey and author of Power Moms. "There's the top 10% who make six figures, who write books, and have deals with the Food Network. Then there's the bottom 20% who are only doing it for the love and not making anything."
This leaves 70% of women bloggers — some 13.2 million — who blog for some modicum of profit. While no two bloggers are alike, they all receive money from similar opportunities. And free merchandise in exchange for a blog review is often considered the gateway towards serious monetization. Nearly all women who "professionalize" their blogs initially start off by reviewing products and services. Although many argue that free merchandise shouldn't be counted as revenue, notwithstanding the FTC's stance, the majority of women bloggers receive at least $250 in free products each month.
There's even a growing industry of online resources and one-day blogger events to teach women how to properly ask for products. "It's almost gotten to be a full-time job just to handle these inquiries from women seeking our products. I'm getting hundreds of requests each week," says CoAction Public Relation's Samantha Shuman who represents several kitchen and housewares brands. "You almost can tell who went to a pitch class since you get the same blanket text over and over again." Similarly, appliance brand Hamilton Beach receives between six and 12 inquiries a week from women bloggers seeking free products, and eco-friendly detergent brand Ecover handles 20 requests a week.
Brands generally review a woman's blog and check to see if she is active on Twitter, but they don't require millions, or even thousands, of visitors. In fact, brand executives and women bloggers say the going rate for a $300 kitchen product is 500 monthly views; an all-expense trip to Hawaii requires at least 20,000 monthly views.
Overall, unless these emails are littered with spelling or grammar errors, brands ship women bloggers their desired samples. "You never know who they might be tomorrow. I have emailed with someone who had 1,000 followers and the next month, she is up to 17,000. Everyone is a potential consumer, even if they are just seeking us out to get free products," says Shuman.
Online advertisements are another money-making opportunity for bloggers. Pay-per-click affiliate networks largely benefit those with at least 300,000 monthly visitors. These programs, such as Google Adsense, Panthera, and Amazon, enable bloggers to receive a percentage of the revenue whenever a visitor clicks-through a featured advertisement. They can earn bloggers between $100-$200 a month, though money-saving blogs that enable visitors to download coupons can earn $400-$600 a month, according to advertising executives.

Unique challenges confront transfer students
Karen Langley | Friday, January 20, 2006
When college students open their transfer acceptance letters from Notre Dame, they may assume the hardest part is behind them. But even though transfer orientation smoothes the start to their careers as Notre Dame students, housing and class registration have proved challenging for some transfers this year.
Anne Martell, a sophomore transfer this fall, had been told she would not get on-campus housing her first semester. Instead, she found an apartment at Turtle Creek with three other female transfer students who had met on a message board set up by the Office of Undergraduate Admissions.
The group had addressed all of the paperwork required to rent the apartment but had not yet signed the lease, a delay that proved fortuitous when Martell was contacted five days before she arrived on campus and informed that she could live in a dorm. Her roommates were also given on-campus housing.
"The difference between living on campus and off campus is like day and night," Martell said. "I'm so glad – I can't even imagine not living on campus."
Ryan Brennan, a senior who transferred in the fall of his sophomore year, lived in a one-person studio apartment at Turtle Creek while waiting to receive on-campus housing. He got a place in Knott Hall in October of that year.
"That's when I met my friends," he said. "The first month a half was a little weird because there aren't a lot of ways to meet people. You go to class and then there's nowhere to go back to but your place."
Brennan had met people in class and through pick-up sports, but he became more involved in the community after moving into Knott. He served as the hall's senator his junior year and is currently a resident assistant.
"When I first got [to Notre Dame], I had nothing to do but go to the library and do well in school," he said. "When I got into the dorms, there was a lot more to do. My grades got a lot worse, but it was a good thing."
Sophomore transfer Casey Bouskill was set to live in a hotel for the first week of school, but like Martell, she was told a few days before the semester's start that she would be living in Farley Hall.
"I found out four days before I came," she said. "It was pretty nerve-wracking."
Despite the stress of changing plans last minute, Bouskill was enthusiastic about living on campus.
"Dorm life is clearly an essential part of the life of an ND student, a home base per se," she said. "If I was not as fortunate as I was to be on campus, I would be missing out on all the bonds and friendships I've made at Farley. It truly has become a home, instead of a place to rest my head."
Transfer students also encounter difficulty with registering for classes, a process that the rest of the student body completed months earlier. Though the transfer students – who are all admitted directly to a college – receive advising from their deans, the students often struggle to find open classes for which they meet the prerequisites, said Associate Registrar Laura Spaulding,
"So many classes are closed now that they have a real problem with that," she said. "They'll get something, but it's probably not the best schedule around."
At such a late date, there is no way to avoid the scramble to find classes, said Associate Director of Admissions Susan Joyce.
"I tell people, the first semester is going to be a little bit of a scavenger hunt, but they will get good counseling about what [credits] transfer," Joyce said.
Though the flexibility of Arts and Letters programs lead the College's transfers to face the most problems while registering for classes, history major Martell said the process was easier than she expected, considering the late date of transfer registration.
"Professors have been really understanding," she said. "They know we get there at the last minute, if you go and talk to people they're really understanding. Everyone – faculty, advisors, students and rectors – were bending over backwards to help."
Though neither locating housing nor registering for classes went error-free, students were enthusiastic about their transfer orientation, an event that they described as more mature and intimate than their freshman orientations.
"Our orientation was over 100 people, but everyone became pretty tight," Martell said. "It was a great bonding experience and how we made all our friends."
Orientation is run by former transfer students. Both new transfers and the Admissions Office stressed the importance of the experience that their orientation leaders brought to the event.
"Who better than those who have been through it to help them make the social and academic transition?" Joyce said.
The four-day fall orientation featured events like a catered trip to the dunes, group tours and discussions held by the lakes. This lengthy adjustment period is a luxury which spring transfers do not experience, Joyce said.
"Spring semester [transfer] students have to have an extra resilience," she said.
Though seamless transitions to a new college are rare, Joyce lauded the enthusiasm and resilience of Notre Dame's transfers. She emphasized that once transfers arrive on campus, they are Notre Dame students.
"I think transfer students bring a unique perspective to Notre Dame," she said. "They tend to be the most active students, since they're fitting four years into two and a half or three years. There's no doubt in my mind that they contribute to the community."

Temperatures have taken a dip, flannelette sheets are donning beds across the country and coats are making their way out of storage, which can only mean one thing… winter in Australia is just around the corner. But as the weather cools down, there's one thing heating up! It's whale-watching season and 2016 is shaping up to be bigger and better than ever.
From mid May to November each year, one of the biggest mass migrations in the world takes place and thanks to conservation efforts, experts are expecting a record number of whales to make their way north. From Bar Beach Cliff in Newcastle to Booderee National Park in Jervis Bay, the NSW coast is full of ideal locations to watch these underwater acrobats do what they do best.
To help you make the most of the whale-watching season, we've compiled a list of the top five places across NSW to view the gentle giants of the sea. While it's possible to glimpse a whale from land at almost every location outlined below, there's no better way to get up close and personal than by hitting the water.
They don't call us 'The Lucky Country' for nothing! We're fortunate enough to have pods of whales pass through our country's largest city every year. Sydney is home to some of the best vantage points to catch these creatures in action. In fact, in the past whales have ventured as far as the Harbour Bridge! If you choose to cruise, then you'll be lucky enough to pass through the entrance of Sydney
Harbour on your way out to sea. You'll be able to soak up the sites of some of Australia's famous landmarks including the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Opera House. You'll also pass by some of the Harbour's islands including Fort Denison, Shark, Rodd, Goat and Cockatoo. While the season officially kicks off in mid May, October is your best chance for seeing a whale in this area. It's during this time that the mothers and newborn calves swim close to the shoreline in sheltered areas to rest and feed.
Find out more about Sydney whale-watching experiences here.
If you head north from the CBD, you'll find spectacular views of migrating whales in Manly. It's actually not unusual for humpback whales to make Manly Cove their temporary home! If you want to make a day of the experience then pack a picnic lunch, grab a rug and set up camp for the day at North Head. There you'll find a one kilometre-long path leading to a lookout with fantastic views out to sea. In between watching the whales, you can fill in time bushwalking along beautiful coastal trails. As the weather gets warmer towards the end of the season, this is also the perfect spot to hit the surf. Here's a local tip – to avoid too much glare reflecting back off the water, get the binoculars out during 10-11am or after 3pm.

If you're hoping to get up close and personal with creatures great and small, then Jervis Bay is the perfect place to be. Not only will you see some of the biggest mammals in the world, but you'll also get the chance to hang out with Australia's famous wildlife including kangaroos, wallabies, echidnas and wombats in their natural habitat. Described as the whale-watching capital of NSW, Jervis Bay's record is 32 individual whale sightings on one cruise. Known for its calm waters, this is the spot where whales rest on their journey back towards Antarctica.
Find out more about Jervis Bay whale-watching experiences here.
If you travel 200 kilometres northeast of Sydney, you'll find beautiful Port Stephens, which is the dolphin capital of Australia. But don't be fooled in thinking dolphins are the only creatures dominating these coastal waters – Port Stephens is also temporary home to 9,000 migrating humpback whales. The best vantage point for viewing these creatures is via speedboat where you'll search for humpbacks, minkes and southern right whales as they migrate. Water-sport lovers take notice – this is also home to experiences including parasailing, stand up paddle boarding, surfing, snorkelling and diving. If you'd prefer to stay dry and view a whale or two from 150+ metres above sea level, then hike to the top of Mount Tomaree for beautiful 360-degree views of Nelson Bay and beyond.
Find out more about Port Stephens whale-watching experiences here.
Voted one of the top 10 cities in the 2011 edition of Lonely Planet's Best in Travel, this is a city that comes alive with thousands of whales each year. Two hours north of Sydney, Newcastle is home to some world-class lookouts for whale spotting. From the iconic Nobbys Headland to King Edward Park; Redhead Beach to Strzelecki Lookout, the biggest problem you'll have is choosing where to go. To further complicate this decision, the Anzac Memorial Walk opened in April this year and offers spectacular views of the coastline and beyond. BYO binoculars for the best chance of seeing whale activity off the shore, or book a seat on one of the many whale cruises offered around Newcastle's waters.

Book Excerpt: A Practical Guide to Fedora and Red Hat Enterprise Linux
Displaying Properties
The following systemctl show command displays the Requires properties of the graphical.target unit. It shows that graphical.target requires multi-user.target:
$ systemctl show --property "Requires" graphical.target Requires=multi-user.target
This relationship causes systemd not to start graphical.target if multi-user.target is not available. It means graphical.target requires units that multi-user.target requires and wants units that multi-user.target wants. Because of this relationship, multi-user.target (runlevel) is active at the same time graphical.target (runlevel) is active.
You can also use the systemctl show command to display the Wants properties of a target:
$ systemctl show --property "Wants" multi-user.target Wants=systemd-update-utmp-runlevel.service NetworkManager.service ... (END) q
The list is long. Although systemctl passes the output through a pager, it runs off the right edge of the screen. When the command displays (END), press q to return to the shell prompt. Sending the output through the fmt text formatter with a line-length specification of 10 displays the list one service per line:
$ systemctl show --property "Wants" multi-user.target | fmt -10 Wants=systemd-update-utmp-runlevel.service NetworkManager.service abrtd.service ntpd.service mcelog.service rsyslog.service ...
To see if a target wants a specific service, send the output of the previous command through grep:
$ systemctl show --property "Wants" multi-user.target | fmt -10 | grep ntpd ntpd.service ntpdate.service
The output shows that multi-user.target wants the ntpd.service service. Because graphical.target requires multi-user.target and multi-user.target wants ntpd.service, systemd will start ntpd.service when the system enters the runlevel defined by graphical.target.
/etc/systemd/system Hierarchy: Controls Services and the Persistent Runlevel
The services wanted by a runlevel target appear in directories named .wants under the /etc/systemd/system directory:
$ ls -ld /etc/systemd/system/.wants ... drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 4096 04-20 17:10 /etc/systemd/system/graphical.target.wants drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 4096 04-20 17:10 /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants ...
The following command lists the runlevel targets that want ntpd.service:
$ ls /etc/systemd/system/.wants/ntpd.service /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/ntpd.service
As explained in the previous section, you can also display this information using the systemctl show command.
The directory hierarchy with its root at /etc/systemd/system controls the persistent runlevel of the system. That is, this directory hierarchy specifies which daemons will be started when the system boots or otherwise changes runlevel or when the daemon is activated for another reason.
All service unit files are kept in the /lib/systemd/system directory. All plain files in the /etc/systemd/system hierarchy are links to files in the /lib/systemd/system hierarchy. For example, ntpd.service shown in the preceding example is a link to the appropriate service unit file in /lib/systemd/system:
$ ls -l /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/ntpd.service lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 32 04-08 14:34 /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/ntpd.service -> /lib/systemd/system/ntpd.service
The service unit file provides systemd with information it needs to start the service and specifies the system runlevel target that wants the service:
$ cat /lib/systemd/system/ntpd.service [Unit] Description=Network Time Service After=syslog.target ntpdate.service [Service] EnvironmentFile=/etc/sysconfig/ntpd ExecStart=/usr/sbin/ntpd -n -u ntp:ntp $OPTIONS [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target
When you instruct systemd to start a service when the system boots (make the service persistent), it places a link to the service file in the directory specified by _WantedBy in the service file. Continuing with the example, systemd places a link to ntpd.service in the multi-user.target.wants directory as shown previously. When you instruct systemd to not start a service when the system boots, it removes the link. "Setting the Persistent State of a Daemon (Service)" explains how to use systemctl to make these changes.
The persistent (default) runlevel is also controlled by a link:
$ ls -l /etc/systemd/system/default.target lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 36 04-20 10:07 /etc/systemd/system/default.target -> /lib/systemd/system/runlevel5.target
See "Setting the Persistent Runlevel" for more information.
Custom Service Files
As explained in the previous section, files in the /etc/systemd/system directory hierarchy are symbolic links to files in the /lib/systemd/system directory hierarchy. The systemd init daemon treats files in the /etc/systemd/system directory hierarchy and files in the /lib/systemd/system directory hierarchy the same way, with files in /etc/systemd/system overriding files with the same name in /lib/systemd/system. An important difference between these directory hierarchies is that /lib/systemd/system is managed by yum/RPM while /etc/systemd/system is managed by the system administrator.
Put custom service files in the /etc/systemd/system hierarchy. If you want to modify a service file, copy it from the /lib/systemd/system hierarchy to the /etc/systemd/system hierarchy and edit the copy. The custom file in the /etc/systemd/system hierarchy will not be overwritten by yum/RPM and will take precedence over a file with the same name in the /lib/systemd/system hierarchy.
Determining if systemd runs a Daemon Natively
To ease migration from a SysVinit and Upstart to systemd and to provide compatibility with software intended for other distributions, systemd can control daemons via SysVinit scripts. You can use the systemctl status command to determine if systemd is controlling a daemon natively or via a SysVinit script. Following, systemctl displays the status of dhcpd and sshd:
$ systemctl status dhcpd.service dhcpd.service - DHCPv4 Server Daemon Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/dhcpd.service) Active: inactive (dead) CGroup: name=systemd:/system/dhcpd.service $ systemctl status sshd.service sshd.service - LSB: Start up the OpenSSH server daemon Loaded: loaded (/etc/rc.d/init.d/sshd) Active: active (running) since Wed, 20 Apr 2011 19:08:32 -0700; 19h ago Main PID: 817 (sshd) CGroup: name=systemd:/system/sshd.service + 817 /usr/sbin/sshd
The systemctl utility requires a period and unit type (.service in the preceding example) following a unit name (dhcpd and sshd in the preceding example). The lines that start with Loaded name the file controlling each daemon (service). The dhcpd daemon is controlled by /lib/systemd/system/dhcpd.service. The location of the file (the /lib/systemd hierarchy) and its filename extension (.service) indicate systemd is running the daemon natively. The sshd daemon is controlled by /etc/rc.d/init.d/sshd. The location of the file (the init.d directory) and the lack of a filename extension indicate systemd is running the daemon via a SysVinit script. See fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Johannbg/QA/Systemd/compatability for a list of services that have been ported to systemd (and are run natively by systemd).
You can use service to display the same information as systemctl status. However, service does not accept a period and unit type.
# service dhcpd status dhcpd.service - DHCPv4 Server Daemon Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/dhcpd.service) Active: inactive (dead) CGroup: name=systemd:/system/dhcpd.service # service sshd status sshd.service - LSB: Start up the OpenSSH server daemon Loaded: loaded (/etc/rc.d/init.d/sshd) Active: active (running) since Wed, 20 Apr 2011 19:08:32 -0700; 19h ago Main PID: 817 (sshd) CGroup: name=systemd:/system/sshd.service + 817 /usr/sbin/sshd
Setting and Changing Runlevels
The runlevel specifies which daemons are running and which interfaces are available on a system. See "Runlevels" and Table 11-1 for more information. This section describes how to set the persistent (default) runlevel (the runlevel the system boots to) and how to change the current runlevel.
Setting the Persistent Runlevel
Under systemd no true runlevels exist; see "Runlevels" For example, the default runlevel under Fedora is graphical.target and has an alternative name of runlevel5.target. Under SysVinit this runlevel is referred to as runlevel 5 (multiuser graphical mode). The /etc/systemd/system/default.target file is a link to the file that specifies the target the system will boot to by default:
$ ls -l /etc/systemd/system/default.target lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 36 04-20 10:07 /etc/systemd/system/default.target -> /lib/systemd/system/runlevel5.target
The following command shows runlevel5.target is a link to graphical.target:
$ ls -l /lib/systemd/system/runlevel5.target lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 16 04-08 14:33 /lib/systemd/system/runlevel5.target -> graphical.target
The multi-user.target file (and the link to it, runlevel3.target) causes the system to boot to the multiuser runlevel (multiuser textual mode; SysVinit runlevel 3). The following command replaces the link shown in the previous example and will cause the system enter multiuser textual mode each time it is booted. This command does not change the current runlevel.
# ln -sf /lib/systemd/system/multi-user.target /etc/systemd/system/default.target
The –s (symbolic) option creates a symbolic link, and the –f (force) option overwrites any existing file. After giving the preceding command and rebooting the system, the systemctl list-units command shows the system is in multiuser mode:
$ systemctl list-units --type=target ... multi-user.target loaded active active Multi-User ...
Service units, is a daemon
Service units, is a daemon (service) systemd control, including, itself systemd control SysVinit script by systemd control. For example, systemd control ntpd daemon through ntpd.service service units.
I think that the system works
I think that the system works really good and I am sure that there will be a lot of users which will want to use it.

Not "dérouillard"
Good article.
[It's not dérouillard (which sounds more like some anti-rusting thing) but «débrouillard» which has connotations of "muddling along".]
More usefully, Lennart Poettering has a good series of articles on his own blog about using systemd:

Coby unveils five budget Android 4.0 tablets
While there's no denying the consumer appeal and popularity of high-end tablet devices such as the iPad2 or Galaxy Tab, not everyone can necessarily afford to invest in the best.
Luckily, however, those prospective tablet buyers keen on being pennywise can always choose to offset their austerity drive against more budget-friendly hardware.
More pointedly, Coby Electronics has this week announced the upcoming arrival of five tablet devices, all of which will sport version 4.0 of Google Android (Ice Cream Sandwich) and accessible price tags.
Expected to arrive in early 2012, Coby's tablets will range in sizes from 7.0 inches through to 10 inches (with 8.0, 9.0, and 9.7-inch models between) and will be powered by 1GHz ARM Cortex A8 processing technology.
Other features will include up to 1GB of RAM, capacitive multi-touch user interfacing, up to 32GBs of data storage, Wi-Fi connectivity, and 1080p HDMI output.
Coby has not yet revealed the line's respective price points, but we expect to learn more about its new line of Android tablets during January's Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas.
Considering that Coby's existing 7.0-inch Kyros tablet costs just $169.95 USD (Amazon), chances are the new breed won't break the bank.

The composer Vaughan Williams was in his seventies when he began sitting for this portrait. Epstein described the sitter's commanding presence, saying, 'He reminded me in appearance of some eighteenth-century admiral whose word was law. Notwithstanding, I found him the epitome of courtesy and consideration and I was impressed by the logic and acuteness of everything he discoursed upon'. Epstein returned to the rougher modelling style of his early career for this bust. The rugged textures and slight tilt to the head animates the bust, giving it a sense of movement that helps to convey Vaughan Williams's lively intelligence.

Ex-CIA Director Pleads Guilty To Mishandling Info
Former CIA director and U.S. Army General David Petraeus has pleaded guilty in a federal court to a charge of mishandling classified material.
A Justice Department statement from March 3 said a plea agreement has been filed in the U.S. District Court in North Carolina.
The statement said Petraeus was charged with one count of unauthorized removal and retention of classified material.
The statement said Petraeus had signed an agreement pleading guilty to the single criminal count.
The case was filed in Charlotte, North Carolina, the home of Paula Broadwell, who was Petraeus's biographer and former mistress.
Investigators were looking into whether Petraeus improperly shared classified materials with Broadwell during the time the two were having an affair.
Both have apologized and said their relationship started after Petraeus resigned from the military.
