A special thanks to Vee for recommending CSB to his readers.

That's all for now. My present situation doesn't allow me to blog frequently or type long posts, but I hope that will all change soon. So don't you dare to ditch CSB! :P

Much has been said and written about Mr. Lee Kuan Yew, the builder of modern Singapore, during his lifetime. The man himself has talked and written extensively about his journey and his experiences in nation-building since 1965, when he found himself in charge of a newly independent nation which Malaysia had cast adrift.
This piece is a compilation of obituaries, write-ups and images that appeared soon after the news broke, on the morning of 23rd March, that he had passed away during the early morning hours. It includes my own observations and comments on some social media networks.
To start with, here is the announcement by his son, the current PM of Singapore, Lee Hsien Loong.
A compilation, by The Wall Street Journal, of LKY's life and times .
Check out the obituary by The Guardian and The New York Times.
This is what The Australian and The Atlantic had to say.
Here is a compilation of some of his more interesting and, at times, controversial quotes.
"If you can't think because you can't chew, try a banana." (Remark to a BBC reporter, 2000 who asked questions about Singapore's chewing-gum ban & said that without chewing on gum, he couldn't think)
"If Singapore is indeed a nanny state, I am proud to have fostered one" – from his book, The Singapore Story, 1965 – 2000
"I wouldn't call myself an atheist. I neither deny nor accept that there is a God. So I do not laugh at people who believe in God. But I do not necessarily believe in God – nor deny that there could be one."
"There is an end to everything and I want mine to come as quickly and painlessly as possible, not with me incapacitated, half in coma in bed and with a tube going into my nostrils and down to my stomach."
"Even from my sickbed, even if you are going to lower me to the grave and I feel that something is going wrong, I will get up." — Mr. Lee Kuan Yew (1923 -2015) on religion and on his death.
On his observation that people should generally marry keeping their educational levels in view:
"If you don't include your women graduates in your breeding pool and leave them on the shelf, you would end up a more stupid society… So what happens? There will be less bright people to support dumb people in the next generation. That's a problem."
On the high pay of cabinet ministers and senior civil servants:
"You know, the cure for all this talk is really a good dose of incompetent government. You get that alternative and you'll never put Singapore together again: Humpty Dumpty cannot be put together again… and your asset values will be in peril, your security will be at risk and our women will become maids in other people's countries, foreign workers."
"In new countries, democracy has worked and produced results only when there is an honest and effective government, which means a people smart enough to elect such a government. Remember, elected governments are only as good as people who choose them."
Lee Kuan Yew, in an interview with Fareed Zakaria, a few years ago.
Lee Kuan Yew, in his later years, talking to students of the National University of Singapore (NUS).
My edited comments on SM networks:
A towering figure among 20th century political leaders, I have seldom, if ever, seen the kind of charisma & presence that Lee Kuan Yew had. Many Singaporeans, particularly in their 50s & 60s, regard him truly as a father figure and are possibly feeling orphaned at the news of his demise.
A lot has been said and written and will continue to be written about the Singapore model. What, to my mind, differentiates Singapore from success stories like Hong Kong or Dubai is the fact that Lee Kuan Yew had his priorities right and implemented them singlemindedly. Among other things this included a really good schooling & higher education system through world-class universities and polytechnics, affordable public housing (housing ownership for Singaporeans is among the highest in the world, at about 90%), zero tolerance for corruption, highly pragmatic and efficient systems & processes which are regularly tweaked and adapted to changing situations as often as needed, a world-class infrastructure for businesses & individuals, an efficient bureaucracy built on meritocracy and a truly world class airport and sea port which have firmly established Singapore as a key tourism destination and a logistics hub in Asia Pacific. He also put in place a system of succession planning which ensured that all these will remain in place and be nurtured across generations. He set the bar for quality and customer service high in all that he planned and implemented.
Even after Singapore became a first-world country, an oasis among a whole host of third world countries in the region, he kept pushing Singaporeans to strive hard and excel in their chosen spheres and not become complacent or mushy. He may have exercised strict control in many spheres of daily life but he ensured that Singaporeans and residents had what it takes to not worry about the essentials of life and an environment where they could focus on doing well for themselves and their families. Among other things, the sense of safety and security one has in Singapore can hardly be matched by most other Asian countries and only by a small number of countries globally. As LKY said, if Singapore is indeed a nanny-state, the credit largely goes to him for making it one. Anyone accustomed to the standards and efficiency levels of most things in Singapore, can't quite be faulted for getting irritated and frustrated with what he or she sees in virtually all other South and South-East Asian countries.
Typical of the efficiency of the place, tourists or business travellers could look forward to getting off their flight, clearing customs and immigration, picking up their baggage and reaching their hotels or offices downtown in less than an hour's time. Businesses could be registered and be up and running in a week's time. There can be no better testimony about systems that work clinically and efficiently.
No one is perfect or should claim to be. The downsides of his period at the helm and even later, as a key influencer and mentor of the government of the day, have been discussed in some of the obituaries referenced above and I have nothing further to add on that count. All I can say at this instant of his departure from the world stage is, " Farewell Sir, you have been inspiring in many ways and your achievements and vision will be remembered and admired for a long time."

If you want to use Venn diagrams then so be it:
The thing I can see is that --even with the best of intentions—the two guilds will grow separate over time. Members may join for one MMO but have no inclination to join the other. Perhaps a guild may have a rule that only their WoW members are allowed to join the TOR guild, but that will create a subgroup within the larger WoW guild that may eventually seek independence from the larger organization.
If both groups are large enough, does it make sense to maintain a single Vent/Mumble server or subdivide into two separate servers? If you're recruiting for your TOR guild, is it really smart to just have a single section on your guild's Forums for TOR, or should you create an independent website? (Or something in between?)
I'd imagine that the answers are a whole lot of "it depends", but I'm curious as to how this little social experiment pans out.
(Side Note: I'm trying to track down the source of a potential issue with the blog. At least one blog reader has informed me that some browsers are showing some of the words without spacing between them. Instead of "this and that" they read "thisandthat" instead. If you see that issue, let me know so I have a better idea how to fix it.)

Although our first mini HD camcorder rodeo roundup crowned Cisco's Flip UltraHD the reigning king of mini HD camcorders, six months can make a world of difference. Kodak's new Zi8 bucks the leader by addressing many of its predecessor's shortcomings, while systematically outdoing the competition on just about every feature. Combined with a reasonable $180 price tag, Kodak's Zi8 now confidently struts it stuff as king of the ring.
Features and Design
While Flip's MinoHD and UltraHD still offer a slightly smaller footprint than Kodak's 2.4-inch by 4.5-inch Zi8, Kodak offers more than enough features to justify the extra bulk. Like the old Zi6, it will shoot 720p HD footage at an extra-fluid 60 frames per second, but also adds full 1080p to the slate for 1920 x 1080 footage at 30 frames per second (not 1440 x 1080 as Sony's allegedly 1080p Webbie shoots).
The chunky AA batteries from the Zi6 disappear in favor of a removable lithium-ion unit, but the SHDC slot remains in place of dedicated, built-in memory. Kodak has also added an external microphone input jack for recording better audio, and electronic image stabilization for attempting to eliminate the shakes that come from such a tiny cam. The screen spans 2.5 inches, giving it a leg up on the 2.0-inch screen on the Flip MinoHD.
Like almost all cameras in this category, you'll find a screen and simple control scheme on the back, which uses four buttons and a standard five-way directional pad. A simple focus slider up top controls the shift from landscape to macro. The Zi8 has both an HDMI jack for outputting high-def video and a more conventional A/V jack for sending out SD content through composite cables. The colorful front door slides off to swap the batteries, while SD cards go in and out through the card slot on the right-hand side above its obligatory fold-out USB plug.
Unlike many competing cams that conveniently charge via USB, you'll need to charge the Zi8 with an included DC power adapter that plugs into a dedicated jack on the left-hand side. Travelers will find it inconvenient to lug one more brick around to keep it topped off.
Kodak's relatively generous accessory bundle includes a wrist lanyard, charger with removable cable, and most impressively, both HDMI and composite cables for TV viewing (pretty essential accessories that we can't believe Flip neglected to include either one of with the second-gen MinoHD). The remote control somewhat deceptively pictured on the box would have made a nice addition for recording, but users who need it can get one for a relatively reasonable $13.

Credit Suisse commodities analysts said Wednesday they're planning to update their price forecasts for closely-watched gold, oil, copper and other raw materials in the next few weeks, but they're already signaling that any big run-up after a recent sell-off appears unlikely.
Meeting with reporters in Credit Suisse's New York City office, Rick Deverell, global head of commodities research, said their cautious outlook boils down to the approximately 3.5% global economic growth rate expected for the second half of 2012. Such a tepid expansion rate "normally means flattish commodity prices," Deverell said.
On the oil front, Deverell indicated he may not be quite as bearish as a recent Raymond James call for an average of $65- a-barrel for West Texas Intermediate crude in 2013. But he doesn't see Brent crude or WTI straying far from current price levels of about $80 and $93 a barrel, respectively.
Oscar Bleestein, head of institutional commodities sales for the Americas, said more than 320 investors attended a day-long meeting on commodities this week, a sign of strong interest in commodities as an asset class. But after a drop in prices this year due in part to the European debt crisis, there's currently a "huge amount of sidelined cash."
In a survey of attendees' commodity favorites in the energy sector, about 47% said natural gas offers the best 12-month outlook for price gains, beating out 28% in favor of crude oil, 16% for oil products, and 10% for coal.
Looking ahead, Credit Suisse said investors could gain by selecting specific commodities that could outperform others. Meanwhile, the bank will look to meet strong investor demand for products that offer the ability to shuffle long and short commodity positions in a so-called alpha strategy modeled after hedge funds.

Federal Work Study (FWS) is need-based financial aid that is offered to students as a part of the total financial aid package to assist with meeting the cost of education. This program allows eligible students to be paid for part-time employment while attending school and it provides worthwhile job opportunities to students. Accepting your Federal Work Study Award in your Financial Aid package does not guarantee that you will obtain employment and does not guarantee that you will be able to earn your full award amount through employment. The first step in applying for student employment is to file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid or the FAFSA to determine if you qualify for the Federal Work Study program.
Important Things to Know and Remember about Federal Work Study:
- The FAFSA must be filed each year to re-determine work-study eligibility.
- Federal Work Study (FWS) is awarded in varying amounts up to a maximum of $2,000 per academic year. The actual amount a student may earn is determined by the student's financial need and year in school and the MC department's budget.
- Students may work up to 20 hours per week and may hold up to two jobs on campus during an academic year. Students may not earn more than the amount awarded for Federal Work Study in the student's financial aid package.
- Federal Work Study Kick-off is held at the beginning of every Fall semester.
- During the year, current job openings are posted online through Handshake.. Students must visit this website to view open positions.
- To apply for a position, the student must apply
- It is the responsibility of each student to apply, interview and be selected for student employment positions. FWS jobs are not assigned and your eligibility for FWS does not guarantee that you will be employed or that you will be able to earn your full FWS award through employment.
- The hiring supervisor will contact the student to schedule an interview for the position.
- After being selected for a position, students must complete all new hire paperwork including a Direct Deposit Authorization Agreement. These forms are available in the Human Resources department. To complete the Federal I-9 Form, you must provide two forms of identification. All accepted documents are listed on the Acceptable Identification Documents for the I-9 Form. The documents must be originals and not copies. The name on your IRS W-4 Form must match the name on your Social Security card.
- Once all paperwork is completed you are considered hired and should review the student employment handbook.
Federal Work Study positions are available off-campus through the Maryville College Community Shares program. Participating employers typically include: Blount County Schools' Reading and Math for Success programs, Blount County Public Library, Leadership Blount and other local government and non-profit agencies.
Maryville College Student Employment
On-campus student employment for Non-Federal Work Study students (also referred to as Maryville College Student Employment) is available on a limited basis as funding allows. These positions require specific skills/certifications and supervisor recommendation.
Students may not begin any job on campus until they have completed all required paperwork to include a Maryville College Work Authorization and Federal I-9, W-4 forms and direct deposit form. Visit Handshake in order to view current job openings.

Amtrak says the suspensions Wednesday are meant to reduce the exposure of passengers, crews and equipment to extreme weather.

The suspensions include Crescent trains between New York and New Orleans; Silver Meteor and Silver Star trains between New York and Miami; Carolinian trains between New York and Charlotte, N.C.; Palmetto trains between New York and Savannah, Ga.; and Piedmont trains between Charlotte and Raleigh in North Carolina.

It may be too obvious an intro, but filmmaker Todd Solondz — whose new film "Dark Horse" opens next week — could himself be considered a dark horse. His films have a strong following at festivals and in art houses, but they are too honest, too dark, and too bitterly funny to fit any major studio's notion of "commercial."
Most of all, they are relentlessly unsentimental — which doesn't mean they're not emotionally engaging. He first attracted attention with "Welcome to the Dollhouse" (1995), a tale of junior high angst that, as a friend said at the time, certainly puts "Sixteen Candles" into perspective. In some ways, Solondz could be considered the anti-John Hughes. Even at their funniest — which is very funny indeed — his movies can make an audience feel uncomfortable.
Speaking to Solondz recently, I suggested that the best comparisons would be Elaine May's "The Heartbreak Kid" (the '70s original, not the pointless and degraded remake) — "That was a brilliant piece," he said — and Mike Leigh ("Another Year," "Naked "), who he also admires.
"Dark Horse" centers on Abe (Jordan Gelber), a 30-something who still lives with his parents (Mia Farrow and Christopher Walken) and who pursues a beautiful, highly medicated young woman (Selma Blair), despite friends' cautions that she's "out of his league" and "much too good for you." After their first kiss, she sighs and says, "Oh my god, that wasn't horrible." Several people — some of them figments of his imagination — tell him he's a loser, and frankly it's hard to disagree.
Because Solondz, like Abe, is from suburban New Jersey, and because his films have such a sense of verisimilitude, it's easy to leap to the conclusion that his childhood and family life were miserable. Not so, he says.
"There were the good times and the not-so-good times, but I didn't suffer child abuse or anything so severe. I always dreamt of escaping the suburbs for New York City, But I didn't sit around bemoaning my childhood. There were a lot of happy moments, and there were things that weren't so hot. I can't say it would stick out particularly as an unusual sort of childhood."
Nor does he have more connection to Abe than to his earlier protagonists.
"Once you're involved in a story, you always have certain ties to your characters. It's hard to measure and say this one more than another, but I certainly have great affection for him, even as I know I probably wouldn't want to have lunch with him in real life," Solondz said.
Numerous scenes in "Dark Horse" start off feeling real, but are gradually revealed to be dreams or fantasies. Does he know exactly where they begin and end?
"Sure," he said. "It's all scripted out. But, whether I'm directing a scene that's a fantasy or not, the same rules apply: You have to ground the characters in an emotional reality that has an inner logic. The important thing is not whether or not you're certain it's fantasy or reality, but whether or not the inner logic of the scene pulls you forward and has that emotional sense.
"The fantasies — well, as a filmmaker, I like to play, I like to have fun. And I guess I'm a little disappointed when other people don't want to have fun with me, don't want to play with me. But what can I say? Sometimes people feel frustrated if they feel locked out of the experience as I see it. Or they read it in a way that is perhaps not quite what I had in mind. But there is a certain kind of pleasure as a filmmaker that you want to indulge in, upending all sorts of expectations."
One of those scenes is an incredibly poignant moment near the end of the movie.
Says Solondz, "The movie hinges on that moment emotionally. If one doesn't feel anything there, then what's the point of watching the movie?"
When I suggest it's a redemptive moment – maybe not for the character, but for the audience — Solondz says, "Right. For me, what matters is not so much how the character changes and evolves. It's really about how the audience — and their experience of the character and understanding of the story as it transpires — how that evolves and changes. That's what's most important. And the fact that he's not such a hero makes it that much more compelling to me."
"Dark Horse" opens July 27.

Colin Montgomerie called the Sergio Garcia "fried chicken" controversy a "mountain out of a molehill."
The Scottish player spoke Friday about the controversy surrounding Garcia and George O'Grady, the European Tour CEO who used the term "colored" during a live television interview in which he was reacting to the spat between Garcia and Tiger Woods.
"It's a mountain out of a molehill, to be honest. Totally," Montgomerie said at the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth. "I hope it hasn't taken away from the BMW, who have set up a fantastic tournament. Now we've got the chief executive involved in the whole thing having to say 'sorry.' We're all frightened to say anything; we're frightened to open our mouths in case we say something that isn't kosher in 2013. Somebody should tell us what to say because no one is quite sure what is right and wrong."
Garcia and O'Grady have apologized for the comments.
Woods and Garcia have exchanged barbs over the past two weeks, dating to the third round of The Players Championship when Garcia implied that Woods purposely stirred up the gallery as the Spaniard was playing a shot. But the situation got uglier Tuesday when Garcia and his Ryder Cup teammates were at a dinner at the BMW event. The emcee, Golf Channel's Steve Sands, jokingly asked Garcia if he would have Woods over for dinner during the U.S. Open.
"We'll have him round every night," Garcia replied. "We will serve fried chicken."
O'Grady said Thursday that "most of Sergio's friends are colored athletes in the United States." The word "colored" was once widely used in the United States to refer to African-Americans but it is now considered antiquated and offensive.
"George says colored, somebody says black, but who is to say who is right and wrong, and for the chief executive who is a very educated man to get caught up then we need to decide what we can and can't say and move on quickly," Montgomerie said.
Montgomerie said the furor wouldn't affect his relationship with Garcia.
"I feel for Garcia, but then that's me condoning it," Montgomerie said. "I am not allowed to feel sorry for him. But we are a family here on the European Tour, a close family unit and we stand up for each other. I've played a lot of Ryder Cups with Sergio and we are a very close family and we should remain that way. This shouldn't affect us."
The recent Hall of Fame inductee also talked about speaking publicly.
"If I get asked at the next press conference I'll have to say 'sorry, no comment' and hope that is not offending anybody," he said. "You just can't say a thing, can you? It's a shame, it's a pity. The three 'no-no's' are race, religion and politics and you are going to upset someone along the line if you mention any of them. "It's time to move on and talk about golf."

These days, everyone's a writer. And a reporter. And an editor. Thanks to the Internet, you can report any "fact" you want, be it a UFO sighting in your rumpus room or incontrovertible evidence that Donald Trump has a full head of hair.
There are benefits to this democratization of reporting. We get more information from a greater diversity of perspectives. But this comes with a downside: There's a lot of bad information out there, and it's on us to sniff it out.
Say what you will about the bad old days of near media monopolies. At least back then you knew news gatherers were following the same playbook — confirming facts with multiple sources, observing rules about what types of information must be attributed versus what can be stated as fact by the writer, seeking comment from multiple sides of an issue and following countless other rules from Journalism 101 that were once standard practice.
Today, we're often left guessing how reliable a news source is. But if you know what to look for, there are clues in the copy editing. A publication that follows the rules of professional editing is more likely to observe the rules of professional reporting. That's why, when I see the following errors, I lose confidence in the news source.
1. Poor headline capitalization. Professional editing guidelines say to capitalize the first letter of most words in headlines and titles. But prepositions of three or fewer letters, as well as conjunctions and articles, are usually not capitalized. So a red flag goes up when I see things like this recent Yahoo Finance headline: "Stocks Pull Back: Why it Might Not Last." Chances are, the editor was used to seeing correctly capitalized headlines like "Senator in Hot Water" and "Talks on Trade Stall" and figured that, like "in" and "on," the word "it" should be lowercase. But "it" isn't a preposition. It's a pronoun.
2. A comma or period after a quotation mark. People who don't know much about editing assume that punctuation is logical. Bad assumption. Look at the following two sentences. Does Alfred E. Neuman's catch phrase contain the word "worry"? Yes, his catch phrase is "What, me worry?" Both of these are correct. A question mark's placement relative to a quotation mark depends on whether just the quotation or the whole sentence is a question. But that commas and periods have a different rule. In American English, a comma or period always comes before a closing quotation mark: Yes, his catch phrase contains the word "worry."
3. Commas without partners. Commas work in pairs any time they set off parenthetical information, like the Inc. after a company name or an inserted thought. Unskilled editors show their ignorance through sentences like "John Doe, a Pushcart Prize winner is working on his second book." A pro would put a comma after "winner."
4. Hyphenation of ly adverbs. Compound modifiers like show-stopping and little-known are often hyphenated before a noun. But compound modifiers containing ly adverbs are not: a recently unearthed specimen, a happily married couple, hastily drawn plans.
5. "Quotation marks lite." Professional editors know that single quotation marks can't be used any time you want to call mild attention to words, as in: His 'expertise' is highly suspect. Single quotation marks are only for quotations within quotations. "I heard Joe say, 'Go away,'" Bob recalled.
6. Backwards apostrophes. If you're writing something like "the '60s" where an apostrophe comes before the first letter or number, word-processing programs will assume you wanted an open single quotation mark and curve your mark with the opening to the right, like the letter C. But an apostrophe, if curved at all, curves in the other direction. Editors at quality news organizations know to fix these.

Recently arrived
- Letter from John Allsop (c1820-1882) of Tissington, Derbyshire advising of his family's safe arrival at Deptford en route to Australia, 1852.
I came across a reference to this while browsing the internet and sent off for a copy. Although the letter itself doesn't tell me much, it suggests that there's a whole lot more information that I would love to see at the Derbyshire Record Office. This research will have to wait for another time but the copy of the letter is nice to have.
- Probate package for Michael Job Bennett (c1805 – 1883)
I sent off for the probate file over two months ago in the hope that it would confirm that his son James is the same person as my gg-grandfather James. It doesn't, but that doesn't matter. After sending off for the packet I found a different record that gave parent's names for 'my' James and yes, his father was Michael Job Bennett. The probate package reveals that he left £600 to James. This makes it all the more puzzling as to where and when James died. If he had that much money you would think I'd be able to find a will or admin file. I have a few ideas of places to look so I'm not declaring his death a brickwall just yet.
- Book on CD: The Martin Family of Stithians in Cornwall by Edward A.Martin, 5th edition, 1996.
This book includes my ancestor Timothy Martin and I gather it's well respected. It will be a source of clues when I get around to this part of the family.
- GRO Death certificates
With the strength of the Australian dollar at the moment, English GRO certificates cost me less than certificates for Victoria, Australia. I thought I'd better get in while I can and order those birth death and marriage certificates I've had my eye on but not actually ordered.
Any day now I expect to see death certificates for:
- Michael Job Bennett, 1883
- Elizabeth Ann Bennett (nee Barnes), 1855
- John Robotham, 1866
- Hannah Robotham (nee Mee), 1864
I don't expect to learn a lot from them, but you never know.
- FHL microfilm – Irish marriage record for William Stannus and Catherine Mack, 22 Aug 1848.
I plan on slowly making my way through all those IGI and now FamilySearch Historical Record references I've accumulated and seeing the microfilms.
Finally, my FamilyTreeDNA results

MIDDLEBURY — Coming into Saturday's home game against 5-1 Skidmore, a Middlebury men's basketball team with four returning starters from groups that earned four NCAA Division III berths carried a 7-0 record and the No. 3 ranking.
But the Panthers lacked a signature win despite their record, and their defense had not risen to the level of past seasons, when they have led the nation in field-goal percentage against.

For those of us that were born at the close of the 20th century, the problems of the past are ours to address. If we do not learn from them, we will set ever worse problems for the future. One way to transform our society is to begin incorporating sustainable energy and the next generation of technologies to increase productivity, provide economic vitality, incorporate social responsibility and lessen our impacts on the global environment.
As an emerging social eco-preneur, I've been driven by a passion for change and the will to lead by example and make a positive difference in the world. In March 2011, on a bright Florida afternoon, I stumbled upon the Progress Energy SunSense Schools grant. I wanted to take this as an opportunity for my alma mater, the University of Central Florida, to become the centerpiece of a strong focus on renewable energy and energy-efficiency that can be expanded into the community and leave a lasting legacy for generation to come.
Chris Castro, UCF Alum and Founder & Executive Director of IDEAS for Us
The $750,000 grant would help to implement a 100 kW solar photovoltaic array with a goal of enhancing understanding and awareness of renewable energy among students, faculty and school administration.
Working as the Campus Outreach Coordinator for the UCF Department of Sustainability & Energy Management (SEM), I quickly scheduled a meeting with Director David Norvell who gave me full approval to develop a proposal. Over a 2 week period, I worked feverishly to draft an integrated plan partnering with trusted technology providers and installers who assisted in the full implementation process, from consultation to installation. The full team included Dioko Energy, TerraSmart Racking, Danbar Electric, Matern Engineering, and UCF SEM.
Installing the SolarWorld solar system at the University of Central Florida
With over 56,000 universities students attending UCF, making it the 2nd largest in the nation, UCF had a great advantage over other applying universities with our ability to educate a larger audience of students, facility, administration, and community members.
In August 2011, Progress Energy announced our selection over the University of Florida. We quickly moved on to the process of implementation. UCF Project Manager Curt Wade helped assist in the procurement and took over the development for the next 4 months, including the installation of over 440 Sunmodule™ solar panels from SolarWorld and two 50 kW Satcon Inverters.
See a video of the construction and installation of the solar system.
Completed SolarWorld solar system at the University of Central Florida
Now, nearly 8 months later, UCF is producing enough power from the sun to offset the consumption of one of its largest garages, across from the UCF Recreation & Wellness Center, the 2nd highest traffic area on campus. This array will undoubtedly be a centerpiece of a strong focus on renewable energy in Central Florida and spur a transformation to create a climate neutral university by 2050.

Follow the leader: Fox's "news" division routinely promotes and echoes Beck
Research ››› ››› ERIC HANANOKI, DIANNA PARKER & JUSTIN BERRIER
Washington Post media critic Howard Kurtz recently reported that some "Fox journalists" believe that colleague Glenn Beck "uses distorted or inflammatory rhetoric that undermines their credibility." Nevertheless, Fox News' reporters and "news" programs have routinely promoted and echoed Beck on stories such as the 9-12 Project, tea party protests, ACORN and former White House officials Van Jones and Anita Dunn.
Kurtz: Some "Fox journalists" worried Beck "undermines their credibility"
From Kurtz's March 15 Washington Post column:
In just over a year, Glenn Beck's blinding burst of stardom has often seemed to overshadow the rest of Fox News.
And that may not be a good thing for the top-rated cable news channel, as many of its staffers are acutely aware.
With his celebrity fueled by a Time cover story, best-selling books, cheerleading role at protest rallies and steady stream of divisive remarks, Beck is drawing big ratings. But there is a deep split within Fox between those -- led by Chairman Roger Ailes -- who are supportive, and many journalists who are worried about the prospect that Beck is becoming the face of the network.
By calling President Obama a racist and branding progressivism a "cancer," Beck has achieved a lightning-rod status that is unusual even for the network owned by Rupert Murdoch. And that, in turn, has complicated the channel's efforts to neutralize White House criticism that Fox is not really a news organization. Beck has become a constant topic of conversation among Fox journalists, some of whom say they believe he uses distorted or inflammatory rhetoric that undermines their credibility.
Friction between opinionated cable personalities and journalists has also flared occasionally at MSNBC. But Beck has caused such anguish at Fox that some of its journalists celebrated the failure of last week's interview with embattled ex-congressman Eric Massa, which Beck pronounced a waste of time.
One thing is beyond debate: Beck provides a strong lead-in for the network's evening lineup. "The significance of Beck to Fox's bottom line cannot be underestimated," says Tyndall, the industry analyst. "Getting an audience that size at 5 p.m. is absolutely unheard of."
But that growth has come at a price, at least for those at Fox who believe that Beck is beginning to define their brand. Glenn Beck is a media phenomenon married to a phenomenally successful network, but away from the cameras, theirs is a troubled relationship.
The New York Times reported on October 11, 2009, that Fox News claims its news hours are objective and defined as "9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and 6 to 8 p.m. on weekdays." Those weekday hours include America's Newsroom, Happening Now, America Live, Studio B, Special Report, and The Fox Report. America Live replaced Live Desk in early 2010.
"News" division takes cues from Beck on ACORN tapes
Beck brings ACORN videos to Fox. On the September 9, 2009, edition of his Fox News program, Beck previewed an "exclusive" that would air on his program the next day, which he claimed would make "things change a lot for those in power." Beck later aired snippets of a video from James O'Keefe and Hannah Giles in which they entered the Baltimore office of ACORN. Beck suggested the video was the "exclusive stuff" that he predicted the media would be "talking about" instead of health care. On September 10, Beck interviewed Giles and credited Andrew Breitbart with starting the story. On September 15, Beck again hosted O'Keefe for a "one-hour special." Beck continued pushing subsequent ACORN videos from O'Keefe and Giles in the following months. Investigations later found significant problems with the ACORN tapes and cleared ACORN of criminal wrongdoing.
Fox "news" programs follow Beck's lead, seize on ACORN videos. Following Beck's "exclusive" preview, on September 10, 2009, through 7 p.m., Fox News dedicated at least 17 segments to the ACORN video. Fox "news" programs covering the video included: America's Newsroom; Happening Now; Live Desk; and Special Report.
Fox "news" programs hype Beck-promoted San Bernardino ACORN tapes. On September 15 and 16, 2009, Fox "news" programs devoted significant programming to O'Keefe and Giles' video of their interactions with an ACORN worker in San Bernardino, CA, who claimed that she murdered her husband and gave advice on how to run a brothel. The worker stated after the video was released that she hadn't murdered her husband -- which was confirmed by police -- and was attempting to "shock them as much as they were shocking me." Live Desk teased the video, with co-host Martha MacCallum stating: "We can now tell you that you are going to see yet another big development in the ACORN story. Another tape is expected to come out tonight after 5 p.m." -- a reference to Glenn Beck's program. At 5 p.m., Beck devoted a "special program" to the San Bernardino video. Following Beck, Special Report and America's Newsroom ran reports on the video.
Fox News Sunday devoted 18 minutes, over two consecutive broadcasts, to ACORN controversy. In September, Fox News Sunday devoted a total of 18 minutes of programming time on two consecutive broadcasts to covering the ACORN tapes. During his September 20 broadcast, host Chris Wallace conducted an interview with ACORN CEO Bertha Lewis and Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) to discuss the story. During the September 27 broadcast of the program, Wallace aired a segment on O'Keefe, in which he advanced several of O'Keefe's claims without noting that they are contradicted by readily available evidence and labeled O'Keefe the "Power Player of the Week."
"News" division follows Beck's lead on bogus Dunn controversy
Beck pushed concocted story that Dunn "worships" and "revere[s]" Mao Zedong. Throughout his October 15, 2009, program, Beck claimed that then-White House communications director Anita Dunn "worships" and "idolizes" "her hero" Mao Zedong. As evidence, Beck aired a video in which Dunn cited two of her "favorite political philosophers," Mao Zedong and Mother Teresa during a speech to high school graduates. However, Dunn offered no endorsement of Mao's ideology or actions -- rather, she spoke of Mao and Mother Teresa as two of her favorite "political philosophers," and based on short quotes from them, she offered the advice that "you don't have to follow other people's choices and paths" or "let external definition define how good you are internally." Indeed, numerous conservatives, including Newt Gingrich and John McCain, have approvingly cited the tactics of Mao, Vladimir Lenin, and the Viet Cong, stated that they had used those tactics in their political work, or have otherwise highlighted their philosophies.
Beck continued attacking Dunn for Mao comments. Beck continued his campaign against Dunn after the October 15, 2009, program, claiming that she has "admiration" for Mao and that President Obama has "surrounded himself with Mao supporters."
Special Report followed Beck's lead in highlighting Dunn's "Mao" comments. On October 19, 2009, Fox News' Special Report aired a truncated clip of Dunn's Mao quote, and Fox News contributor Brit Hume responded: "Well, she also said that this is the two people she turns to most. This doesn't sound like it was a one-off attempt to make a joke and imitate the Republican strategist Lee Atwater."
"News" division follows Beck's campaign against Van Jones
Beck led the charge against Van Jones. Beck repeatedly attacked then-White House green jobs adviser Van Jones. Beck has falsely accused Van Jones of being a "convicted felon," misleadingly referred to Jones as a"self-avowed radical revolutionary communist," and stated that Jones' place in the Obama administration "says that the president has an agenda that is radical, revolutionary, and in some cases, Marxist." A September 6, 2009, New York Times article stated that "[c]hief among those keeping the story alive was Glenn Beck, the conservative host of a Fox News Channel program. Mr. Beck began criticizing Mr. Jones in July, first in segments on his syndicated talk radio show and then, on July 23, on his Fox News program, said Christopher Balfe, the president of Mr. Beck's production company."
"News" division picks up Jones "controversy." On September 3, 2009, America's Newsroom, Live Desk, and Special Report ran segments on the "controversy" over Jones. Fox News dispatched at least two reporters, Molly Henneberg and James Rosen, to the Van Jones story. For instance, America's Newsroom's Megyn Kelly said Jones has a "somewhat radical and sometimes racially-charged past," and asked Henneberg if Jones "described himself as a communist." Kelly further wondered how Jones became a "czar." From America's Newsroom:
Live Desk covered Jones' past remarks with Rosen and promoted the results of a non-scientific poll finding that 97 percent of Fox News viewers aren't "satisfied with Van Jones' apology" for past remarks:
On Special Report, host Bret Baier introduced a report by Rosen by stating that there's a "troubling pattern of behavior by one of the president's top advisers [Jones]" and later concluded, "We'll see if the national hoo-rah develops" over Jones.
Van Jones resigns; Beck and Fox "stories" receive credit. On September 6, 2009, Jones resigned, citing that he "cannot in good conscience ask my colleagues to expend precious time and energy defending or explaining my past." The Huffington Post's Ryan Grim noted that "[b]efore Beck mentioned Jones in the last few weeks on his Fox News television show, Jones remained an obscure figure in the administration. After Beck mentioned him, protesters at town hall meetings made Jones a staple of their complaints." In an October 28, 2009, speech (retrieved from the Congressional Record) on the House floor, Rep. Lamar Smith (R-TX) said: "Fox reports the stories that the national media ignore. For example, without Fox News, you might not have heard about the recent ACORN scandal. You might not have heard about the troubling political associations of the President's former green jobs czar, which eventually led to his resignation."
Wallace: It is "certainly the case that Van Jones had a history as a radical, as a self-professed communist." In a panel discussion about Jones' resignation on the September 6, 2009, edition of Fox News Sunday, Wallace stated that "it certainly is the case that Van Jones had a history as a radical, as a self-professed communist, and also, the fact that is -- that he signed a 2004 petition suggesting that there be an investigation of whether or not the government had a role in 9/11."
"News" division continues to track Jones post-resignation. Fox News' Special Report has continued to discuss Van Jones despite his White House resignation. Since Jones' resignation, according to Nexis, Special Report has mentioned Van Jones on February 25, February 24, October 19, October 6, September 28, September 16, and September 10.
"News" division promotes Beck's 9-12 special and rally
Beck started conservative 9-12 Project, whose members helped organize 9-12 protests. On March 13, 2009, during his "You Are Not Alone" special, Beck announced the launch of his 9-12 Project, whose members helped organize and turn out participants to a protest on September 12, 2009. Beck routinely implored his audience to attend the Washington, D.C. rally on his Fox News show. Beck then aired a special edition of his television show live from 1 to 3 p.m. ET on Fox News on September 12.
Happening Now promotes Beck's original 9-12 Project special. On March 13, 2009, Happening Now hosted Beck to promote his special. From Happening Now:
Live Desk promotes Beck's original special as "the place to be." On the March 13, 2009, edition of Live Desk, co-host Trace Gallagher started a countdown to Beck's special and said Beck's show is "gathering steam across the country." Co-host Martha MacCallum added that Beck's special is "the place to be this Friday night." Gallagher said that Beck's first principle is "America is good and we seemed to have forgotten that." Gallagher interviewed Beck live outside Fox News' offices while he and Fox News graphics repeatedly promoted the special:
Wallace: "I'm a big Glenn Beck fan." On the March 13, 2009, edition of Fox News' Studio B, while discussing Beck's special, Wallace said he sensed that Fox News host Shepard Smith was "begrudging" Glenn Beck and that he himself is a "big Glenn Beck fan" and is "on the Glenn Beck bandwagon."
Fox News heavily promoted the Beck-fueled 9-12 rally. Fox News heavily promoted the 9-12 Tea Party rally and the Tea Party Express tour, whose last stop was on September 12 in Washington. For instance, during the August 23, 2009, edition of America's News HQ, host and reporter Shannon Bream said, "We want to let folks know" the Tea Party Express' schedule so "they can be a part" of the events. And on August 28, 2009, Fox News dispatched reporters Griff Jenkins and William La Jeunesse to the Tea Party Express kickoff in Sacramento, California. Jenkins also reported from the 9-12 rally for Beck's special; a Fox News producer was caught encouraging the crowd to cheer during Jenkins' report.
"News" division heavily promotes April 15 Tea Parties -- featuring Glenn Beck
Beck promotes, hosts a "FNC Tax Day" Tea Party. While discussing the April 15, 2009, Tea Party protests on his April 6, 2009, program, Glenn Beck suggested that viewers could "[c]elebrate with Fox News" by either attending a protest or watching it on Fox News. Beck stated that in addition to himself, hosts Neil Cavuto, Greta Van Susteren, and Sean Hannity would be "live" at different protests. While Beck spoke, on-screen text labeled those protests as "FNC Tax Day Tea Parties." In the lead-up to April 15, Beck repeatedly promoted the tea parties and urged viewers to attend them.
Like Beck, Fox "news" programs repeatedly urged attendance at tea parties. In the lead-up to the April 15, 2009, tea parties, Fox's "news" programs and anchors frequently aired segments publicizing and encouraging viewers to get involved with the protests. For instance, Special Report host Baier noted the URL of TaxDayTeaParty.com and stated that the protests have been "largely ignored by the mainstream media," while America's Newsroom frequently hosted tea party organizers and posted on-screen organizing information, such as protest dates and locations. Host Bill Hemmer also repeatedly directed viewers to the show's section on the Fox News website, which posted a list of tea party protests. The following are some of the graphics America's Newsroom aired to promote the April 15 tea parties:
Hemmer promotes Beck's appearance at the Alamo. While guest-hosting the April 12, 2009, edition of Fox News Watch, news anchor Hemmer promoted Beck's appearance at the Alamo tea party, stating:
HEMMER: While the mainstream is ignoring the tea party movement, here at the Fox News Channel, we're gearing up to bring you special coverage of the events all across the country. Sean Hannity is in Atlanta. Glenn Beck is at the Alamo. Where else would he be? San Antonio. Neil Cavuto is live in Sacramento and Greta is in Washington, D.C.
Can't get to a tea party? Fox Nation hosts a virtual tea party. You can check it out on the site for the location of a tea party in your area. Again, that is Wednesday, the 15th of April.

Galerie m Bochum is pleased to present from 10 May to 21 August 2013 three photographic series by Thomas Florschuetz (b. 1957 in Zwickau). At the same time Museum Wiesbaden shows a retrospective of Florschuetz's work in the exhibition
(Museum Wiesbaden, until 8 September 2013). In the exhibition at Galerie m Bochum, Glas/Wasser from the 2012/13 and Untitled (K52) from 2013 are juxtaposed with the early series Multiple Entry, 1997/2008. In recent years, the artist has been occupied primarily with photographing architectural motifs all over the world. Now, his latest works have taken him back to the studio. The theme uniting all three exhibited series is the effort to capture the unique appearance of the various objects and then represent it in a picture. Florschuetz zeroes in on his subjects in extreme close-up, subverting entrenched visual habits and animating the viewer to optically scan and explore the motif.
The photographs in the series Glas/Wasser focus on a glass filled with water and in some cases ice cubes. Moved close to the edge of the picture or even cropped by it, the vessel takes up almost the entire picture surface. Condensation droplets bead up on the glass, inscribing lines across its surface as the drip down and hence marking the limits between outside and inside. Although the transparent outer skin of the object holds its liquid contents within a solid body, the fragmentation caused by the framing makes this body appear more like a flat surface than a curved form. The ice cubes have their own semi-transparent physicality; in the real picture space they are in the middle field, but due to the photographic manipulation of close-up, focus and depth of field, they seem to take up the foreground instead. Glass and water reflect colors and contours in their environment, but too vaguely for the viewer to identify the setting precisely. Thomas Florschuetz investigates here the phenomena of light, color, mirroring and reflections on the technical as well as the compositional level. In the blurred areas of the background and the surface on which the glass rests, as well as in the glass itself, forms dissolve into what look like painterly surfaces. Shapes and color areas within the image create their own independent compositions.
Blurred patterns of colors and shapes also feature in the images of the series Untitled (K52). These photographs show the view directly out of Florschuetz's frozen and slowly thawing studio window. In some pictures the ice forms a craquelure pattern on the glass, or the view outside through the window shimmers indistinctly through a fogged surface. Outside and inside condense atop the glass, like on a ground glass screen. Florschuetz uses the same detail of the window for all images in the series. Because the shots were taken within a relatively short period of time, small but distinct changes are visible, unfurling a visual spectrum that ranges from abstract surface and monochrome gradient to dimly adumbrated spatial contours. Whereas in the "Glas/Wasser" series the gaze is directed at, and into, a physical object, in this second group of works on view in the exhibition the eyes wander instead from interior to exterior.
The interpenetration of the various levels of the pictorial space, the alternation between figuration and abstraction, the obstructed view and partial opening, as well as the fragmentation of the motif characterize every single work in these three series. The photographs offer fresh perspectives on the objects examined while creating independent image spaces.
In all three groups of works, Florschuetz explores the phenomenon of how objects in his immediate surroundings appear to the eye and how this appearance can be translated into a pictorial representation by means of photography.

Financial Markets…U.S. Treasuries slid for the first time in four days, with the benchmark note yields 3 basis points to 1.62%, as a government report showed U.S. employers added more than forecasted jobs in November. U.S government bonds have advanced 2.8% this year as of yesterday, after gaining 9.8% in 2011 and 5.9% in 2010.
The Eonia swap rate (an estimate of compounded overnight borrowing costs in euros over the next three months) fell to 4.5 basis points on Friday, the lowest level since July, as investors speculated the European Central Bank is open to cut interest rates further. And the 3-month euro interbank offered rate (or Euribor), bank-to-bank lending rate, fell at a record low of 0.187%.
The dollar strengthened against the yen and euro following encouraging U.S. jobs data, climbing 0.3% to 82.66 yen and 0.4% to $1.2913, respectively. Meanwhile, Canadian dollar rallied versus its U.S. counterpart, climbing 0.3% to 98.82 cents per U.S. dollar, as the country's unemployment rate fell to 7.2% from 7.4% last month.
High-income Economies…U.S. nonfarm payroll employment rose by 146,000 in November, suggesting that the impact of Hurricane Sandy on overall U.S. employment had been limited. But the rate remains well below the 200,000-250,000 monthly gains needed for a sustained improvement in the labor market as employers remain reluctant to hire amid U.S. "fiscal cliff" risks. The unemployment rate, however, edged down by 0.2 percentage points to a four-year low of 7.7%, mostly because of people dropping out of the labor force.
Reflecting uncertainties relating to impending tax increases and spending cuts, the outlook of U.S. consumers deteriorated sharply in December, with the Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan consumer sentiment index falling to 74.5 in December, the lowest since August, from 82.7 in November.
German industrial production fell 2.6% (m/m) in October, a faster pace of decline compared with a 1.3% drop in September, suggesting that the Euro Area debt crisis is taking a toll on Europe's largest economy. Earlier data had shown that industrial orders were supported by strengthening foreign demand (partly from developing countries), but domestic demand has continued to weaken.
U.K. industrial production fell 0.8% (m/m) in October, a slower pace of decline than the 2.1% monthly fall in September. On a year-on-year basis, industrial output was 3% (y/y) lower in October, compared with -3.2% (y/y) in September.
Revised data showed that Greek GDP shrank a slightly smaller 6.9% (y/y) in the third quarter, compared with a 7.2% decline reported earlier.
The pace of economic contraction in Czech Republic accelerated in the third quarter to an annualized pace of about 1.2% (q/q) from 0.8% recorded in the second quarter. On a year-on-year basis, Czech Republic's GDP contracted by 1.3% (y/y) in the third quarter of 2012, compared with 1% (y/y) decline in the second quarter.
Hungary's GDP continued to contract in the third quarter at an annualized pace of about 0.8% (q/q). On a year-on-year basis, Hungary's GDP contracted by 1.5% (y/y) in the third quarter of 2012, compared with 1.2% (y/y) declined in the second quarter.
Developing Economies…The Central Bank of Egypt held its benchmark overnight deposit rate steady at 9.25%. Headline inflation rose to 6.7% in October from 6.22% in September on a sharp rise in the prices of butane gas cylinders, partly due to bottlenecks in distribution channels, despite moderating food prices.
Brazil's inflation accelerated insignificantly in November to 5.53% (y/y) from 5.45% in October with the prices of all key components in consumer basket showing insignificant rise.
Chile's inflation moderated to 2.1% (y/y) in November from 2.9% in October.
Mexico's inflation moderated to 4.18% in November from 4.6% in October on easing of food prices following a temporary spike related to adverse weather and the outbreak of avian flu in western Mexico.
Peru's central bank held its policy rate unchanged at 4.25%. Peru's inflation rate slowed to 2.66% in November under the central bank's 3% inflation target from 3.25% in October on moderating food prices.
Malaysia's exports fell 3.2% (y/y) in October from 2.6% increase in September on continued weak demand from major trade partners and moderating prices for Malaysia's commodity exports (palm oil and crude rubber).

Cassano would 'love' to go to 2014 World Cup
Parma's Antonio Cassano says he is doing all he can to give Italy coach Cesare Prandelli selection headaches ahead of the FIFA World Cup.
The 31-year-old striker scored twice in Sunday's 4-2 win at Milan, a result that extended the club's record unbeaten run to 16 Serie A matches.
Parma have won their last five league road trips - extending another record - and Cassano has now scored 11 Serie A goals this season for the club, who are right among the battle for European football.
Cassano last appeared for Italy at UEFA Euro 2012 but is considered an outside chance of featuring in Prandelli's 23-man squad for this year's Brazil showpiece, having missed the 2010 edition after falling out of favour under Marcello Lippi.
"I swear I'd love to go, as I've never been to a World Cup," Cassano told Sky Sport Italia.
"I'm doing everything I can to make the coach's decision difficult.
"I don't know what my chances are, but I really hope (to go) and (I) am keeping my fingers crossed."
Cassano made his Italy debut in November 2003 and has since gone on to score 10 goals in 35 games for his country.

Please tell us... We had a brief experiment with the freely available version of Lustre for a very short while, which we had to terminate because the prepackaged IA32 kernel we had put on our NFS server crashed repeatedly (without any Lustre modules loaded). This was because (as far as we could tell at the time) you couldn't add extra OST's after creating a volume, and as we wanted failover we needed the new system to be running the kernel at that point. Note that although Lustre is available under the GPL the version that you can download (you must give your email address first) is old (I think it's still the same version we tried, 1.0) and you need to pay to get access to the current versions. This is consistent with the GPL, though. The nice thing about GFS from my point of view is that it is also GPL'd and you can snag a copy from the current CVS whenever you want, as well as grabbing the tarballs from the Redhat site. The downside of course is that if you choose to do that then you're using a version from CVS. :-) Chris -- Christopher Samuel - (03)9925 4751 - VPAC Systems & Network Admin Victorian Partnership for Advanced Computing http://www.vpac.org/ Bldg 91, 110 Victoria Street, Carlton South, VIC 3053, Australia -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

HANG TIME, Texas — Nothing says it's summer like an ice cream cone (mint chocolate chip, if you're buying) on one of those blazing afternoons where it's so hot that your tongue has to lick into overdrive to keep the tasty treat from running all the way down your arm.
That's kind of the role of the sixth man in basketball, to pop off the bench and get right to work cleaning up the mess. As the dog days of August continue, we'll leap ahead once more in our summer fantasy with my five picks for the 2013-14 Sixth Man of Year.
Andrei Kirilenko, Nets — He's 32 years old and it's been a while since he was the Jazz's do-it-all player known as "AK-47." Durability issues dot his past couple of NBA seasons — he spent 2011-12 with CSKA Moscow — but with Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce in Brooklyn now, Kirilenko won't be expected to rack up big minutes. That will leave him free to pass, cut and get plenty of easy baskets from Deron Williams on offense and to cut off the angles, hit the boards and block a couple of shots per game on defense. He'll accept his role and make the most of it. He left $10 million on the table in Minnesota for a chance to win big in Brooklyn and could be a key ingredient if the Nets' big offseason gamble is going to pay off.
Tyreke Evans, Pelicans — The career path is not supposed to go from winning Rookie of the Year to having your scoring average decline in each of the next three seasons. But after languishing in Sacramento, much of it his own fault, Evans is getting a chance to shine in New Orleans. Yes, the backcourt is crowded with ball handling scorers. All-Star Jrue Holiday and Eric Gordon are likely to start, which could work to Evans' benefit by making him the main offensive option off the bench. At 6-foot-6, he didn't like playing small forward with the Kings, even though it could be required in a pinch for the undersized Pelicans. Evans says he's ready and willing to embrace the sixth man role and with his dynamic talent, he could really shine.
Lance Stephenson, Pacers — With a healthy Danny Granger returning to the lineup, it's quite possible that the Pacers could ask Stephenson to accept a bench role. Depending how the mercurial one accepts it, Indiana could take a big step toward closing the gap with the Heat by having a rotation of wing players that can match up with anybody. There are so many different specific parts of Stephenson's game that you can pick apart, but his overall energy and attitude played a big part in the Pacers getting to the Eastern Conference finals and pushing Miami to a seventh game. He and Granger will both be free agents in 2014, so this gives Stephenson a chance to show that he's the one the Pacers should keep.
Jarrett Jack, Cavaliers — He makes the move from a young Warriors team that was trying to break into the Western Conference power structure to the same kind of young, hungry and talented bunch in the Eastern Conference. This is certainly Kyrie Irving's team, — at least until LeBron comes back — but the future MVP candidate needs a backup and Jack is not just capable, but explosive. He was third in voting for the award last season (behind J.R. Smith and Jamal Crawford) and is likely to pick right up in Cleveland from where he left off in Golden State. Remember, last season he became the first bench player to score 30 and deal 10 assists in a game since Magic Johnson in 1996. Fast company.
Jeremy Lamb, Thunder — The deck is cleared and the stage is set. The ball will come to him for open shots and Lamb has to knock them down. Simple, huh? Well, the game is always going to be easier when a couple of your teammates are named Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook. The second-year man who saw little playing time outside of Tulsa in the NBA D-League last season is no James Harden coming off the bench at this point. But he should step into the void left by Kevin Martin's departure and get plenty of opportunities to make defenses pay. He's a long shot in his first year with significant playing time, but is worth keeping an eye on for the future and will likely have played a big role if OKC makes a run for best record in the league.

FoxBusiness.com published my 500th article on 3-19-09
The following is an amazing comment sent to deansguide from a person claiming to be one of the Ed Okun jurors in the Ed Okun criminal trial. The often sad and terrible case of Edward Okun has just ended in a courtroom in Richmond, Virginia. The verdict: GUILTY!
Editor's Note: I became aware of Ed Okun through a title insurance source who tipped me to the fact that a very nasty scandal was about to hit a number of investors in Silicon Valley in April of 2007. That tip led to my participation as one of the leading information sources for the Ed Okun ponzi case. In that time the following ocurred:
- I met 16 of the original 350 Trainwreck members with Elizabeth Callanan leading the charge of information and a true force behind much of my writing
- I consulted with Mike Maiello Forbes Magazine editor on the case
- My mystery caller, from Miami, claimed to have inside Okun information (which he did) kept in contact with me throughout the proceedings
- I was threatened by a powerful New York law firm where one of the principles had a very shady past
- I was threatened over the phone by an unknown caller who claimed to be "connected"
- I was approved as one of the only blogs, by the US Attorney's office in Virginia, to move information forward regarding dates and times. This was the work of my good friend Elizabeth
- I highlighted 3 Okun victims who lost their life savings and attempted to provide new information
- I wrote upwards of 70 articles on the Okun case and surrounding path of wreckage in the number of lives effected, savings stolen, and retirements ruined
Okun Guilty
Although the laundry list of charges include, according to the Associated Press story, 23 counts of fraud, money laundering, bulk cash laundering, and making false statements, the following comment really says it best:

Submitted on 2009/03/19 at 7:20pm
I served as a juror on the Edward Okun case in the U.S. Eastern District Court of VA. While we (the jury)found him guilty of all charges today 3/19/09, it was hard watching Okun as the verdicts were read. I am now able to see all of the stories that are out there about him and all the damage he has done to so many people. It helps verify that the jury made the right decision based on the evidence we were presented in court. I know that many lives were ruined, but am glad to know that I played a role in stopping him from harming anymore people.

State-Focused 527 Organizations Only, 2004
527 groups are tax-exempt organizations that engage in political activities, often through unlimited soft money contributions. Most 527s on this list are advocacy groups trying to influence federal elections through voter mobilization efforts and so-called issue ads that tout or criticize a candidate's record. Some, such as the Republican Governors Association and the Democratic Governors Association, spend money to support or oppose the election of state candidates. 527s must report their contributors and expenditures to the IRS, unless they already file identical information at the state or local level. The figures below are taken from 527 group filings with the IRS.
This data is based on records released by the Internal Revenue Service on Monday, August 15, 2016.

Off their self-titled debut "Typical" is a fantastically catchy tune that I must have listened to about a dozen times today. What I'd forgotten, however, is how awesome and well done the accompanying music video is.
As I'm sure you can notice, the whole thing is shot in reverse, which is how they accomplish such weird movement and clever effects. The really impressive part though, is that the band is totally performing the song in its correct direction, meaning that each member had to learn to handle their part backwards. It makes for a really awesome watch, and an even awesome-r behind the scenes video. So enjoy your Saturday night with a little music and some backwards craziness. It's just too bad you can't rewind the weekend come tomorrow night. [Amazon, iTunes, Spotify]

Hi there. Sugar here. Last week we talked about the crazy things writers shouldn't do in order to get the attention of an agent or editor. This week we are going to discuss things writers shouldn't do in general.
Bash Other People's Work. Especially on social media.
Honest, well thought out reviews are one thing, but I saw a writer bash a conference speaker's presentation on Twitter. That's BIG don't in my book. Not only did I think, what a bitch, but I also thought it was petty and unprofessional. Now I won't ever buy that writer's work simply because I don't respect them for being unkind about another person. We all have our opinions, but if you can't say anything nice keep your big fat mouth shut.
Act High and Mighty
I met a NYT bestselling author whose books I genuinely enjoyed, but after meeting her I haven't bought another one of her books. Why? She wasn't nice or gracious or anything you would expect from an author who was meeting fans. The lesson: always be humble and gracious because if you aren't, no matter how good your books are, people won't buy them.
Go It Alone
I can't say enough how awesome writer's groups are. But even if you can't make your local writer's group meetings join online groups. Connect with other writers on Twitter, Facebook, anywhere writers congregate. The support and advice are invaluable. Writing can be lonely. Make friends where you can.
Listen to Too Much Craft Advice
Writers are a helpful bunch of folks. It seems like everybody is dying to give advice, even when you don't ask for it. But be very careful what advice you listen to. Not everybody knows what they're talking about it. And you as the writer knows what's best for your work.
Stop Writing
Getting published is hard. For most of us it takes years and years of rejection. And for some of us it may never happen. But don't stop writing. Most of us write for the love of it. Not for the promise of fame and riches. If you stop writing then you cease to be a writer. So keep it up, even when it can be discouraging.
That's it for the shouldn'ts. Lets talk about some of the things writers should do. Any and all comments are welcome.

Paul Solofa found guilty of tampering and obstruction
Department of Education's former business office manager Paul Solofa has been found guilty by a 12-member jury at the federal court in Washington D.C. on one count each of witness tempering and obstruction of justice in connection with the DOE school bus spare parts scheme.
The federal jury handed down its verdict late yesterday morning against Solofa, who is now set for sentencing on Apr. 27. He faces a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine on the witness tampering charge and 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine on the obstruction of justice charge.
"Honest testimony is the cornerstone of our criminal justice system. The FBI will continue to pursue anyone who tampers with witnesses and attempts to short-circuit the rule of law" said Honolulu FBI spokesman Tom Simon, responding to Samoa News inquiries for comments.
The FBI was among the federal agencies involved in the investigation into this case, which first came to light during a Senate Select Investigation Committee probe back in 2004 and the committee had forwarded its findings to the federal government and local authorities. The local Department of Public Safety also conducted its own investigation with findings sent to the federal government but no local charges were ever filed.
There was no immediate reaction from Solofa's defense attorney or the U.S. Justice Department regarding the verdict.
Solofa, 51, was arrested by local FBI agents at the DOE school lunch warehouse in early September 2010 after the federal grand jury in Washington D.C. handed down the two count indictment. At the time of his arrest, Solofa was serving as school lunch program manager, while the charges against him were from the time he had served as DOE business office manager several years ago.
According to evidence presented at trial, in approximately early 2008, federal authorities began conducting an investigation into allegations of cash bribes and kickbacks paid by vendors to officials of the American Samoa government in connection with the government's purchase of school bus parts and service, said the U.S. Justice Department in a news release after the verdict was made public.
Trial evidence also states that Solofa met on April 3, 2009, with a school bus parts vendor who told Solofa that the FBI was interested in interviewing the vendor regarding the bus parts investigation. (The vendor in this case has been identified in previous court filings as Pacific Products, a local firm).
Solofa, in a recorded meeting, told the vendor that the FBI cannot do anything with cash and the FBI cannot track down the vendor on the case. "Because even if you say you gave me cash I'll tell them 'no.' They cannot take your word on cash. Because that's hearsay," according to prosecutors evidence given during the trial.
In addition, according to the evidence presented at trial, as noted in the Justice Department statement, Solofa met on April 14, 2009, with the same bus parts vendor, who told Solofa that a grand jury subpoena requiring production of specific documents and records, some of which related to Solofa and to the bus parts kickback scheme, would be issued shortly.
"After discussing how to respond, Solofa told the vendor that, as for documents he did not want to produce, ' [t]he only way to do it with those copies is burn it. That way, they won't see it, and you won't worry that they might see it, you know… Just burn it, and nobody has a copy'," the Justice Department statement notes.
