Biographical/Historical note
Philip Stanley Hitchcock was born September 28, 1904 in Pomeroy, Washington. While residing in Finley, he graduated from Kennewick High school in 1921 and went on to attend Washington State University where he was awarded a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Economic Science and History in 1926. During his college years he was a member of Sigma Chi fraternity and the Phi Kappa Phi honorary society. He also participated in drama and wrestling. He married Sally Wyatt in 1939 and they raised three children- Philip Jr., Martha, and Stephen Eric.
After completing college he engaged briefly in the insurance business in Spokane, Washington and subsequently in a trucking business venture in Lewiston, Idaho. His interests turned to lumbering at which he had had some experience as a youth. His logging activities centered in Oregon around Sisters and near Klamath Falls where he also owned a logging equipment business. Later he became the Superintendent of the White Swan Lumber Company near Yakima, Washington.
Mr. Hitchcock remained an active Presbyterian throughout his entire adult life. Although raised in a Campbellite family, he was converted to Presbyterianism in his early twenties. He acted as Moderator for the Presbyterian Synod of Oregon in 1948.
As the President of the Oregon Council of Churches he represented that body in the National Council of Churches during 1957. He held the office of Senior Vice President of the National Council for United Presbyterian Men before being elected President of that organization in 1961.
Mr. Hitchcock served as state senator from Oregon's 17th District from 1948 through 1954 term. The highlight of his political career came in 1949 with his successful fight in the legislature for passage of laws barring racial and religious discrimination in employment practices. In 1956 he made an unsuccessful bid for the Republication nomination for the United States Senate seat.
Mr. Hitchcock's public service was not limited to that of holding elected office. A licensed pilot, he led the effort to persuade the National Aviation Board to initiate airline service into southern Oregon and in 1945 he was elected President of the Oregon State Aviation Council. A lifelong Kiwanian, he served as Governor of the Pacific Northwest District for the 1942-1943 term. From 1954 through 1958 he was Director of Church and Public Relations for the Lewis and Clark College of Portland, Oregon, and later was an assistant to the President of that institution. For a number of years he was a Trustee of the Central Oregon Community College Foundation, Bend, Oregon. In 1972 he was appointed Chairman of the Oregon State Board of Parole and Probation.
Over the years the former legislator received numerous awards for his outstanding service. In 1956, the National Conference of Christians and Jews awarded him their Brotherhood Citation. Whitworth College, Spokane, Washington, bestowed an honorary Doctor of Laws on Mr. Hitchcock in 1962 and four years later he was recipient of an honorary Doctor of Humanities degree from Buena Vista College, Storm Lake, Iowa. For his achievements in the area of civil rights in Oregon, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People posthumously awarded him a President's Plaque.
On October 12, 1977, at the age of 73, Mr. Hitchcock passed away at his home in Sisters, Oregon.

although i find them boring unlike the ones here
On the plus side, they have plenty of players, so theoretically there's no problem of games not filling up and/or deadbeating.
yep but most of the players take the game way too seriously which ends up making it boring as well as annoying, some people just don't know how to have fun.
Hmmm. This is intriguing, since I think that it's taken seriously here, let alone there.
Most of you know my playstyle is rather "erratic" to say the least, so could you imagine unleashing my personality on their fabled boards?
Would would the impact be? Hilarity probably. I'm thinking the equivilant of a monkey in a china shop.

Pack up the desk, turn in the keys, and hand over the company data
July 18, 2012
Google the phrase "ex-employee data theft" and you will find a laundry list of businesses that have accused former employees of lifting confidential data, customer lists, and other proprietary information, along with their moving boxes on their way out the door. Decades ago, a salesman might snag a customer list on his way out the door to a new job. Now, a departure by a computer programmer, data analyst, salesperson, or even the IT administrator can open up a company and display its secrets to competitors, consumers, regulators and anyone else who might be interested.
According to a study cited in a 2009 Washington Post article, roughly six out of 10 departing employees admitted that they took company data such as an email list from their old employer. Four in 10 departing employees said they stole their past employer's proprietary secrets to help find a new job. As technology has given employees greater access to company secrets and intellectual property and made it easier to walk out the door with it, employers may have cause for concern.
Protecting company secrets when employees leave
A recent article for Entrepreneur.com provides several helpful tips to protect company data for business owners. Tips such as keeping an eye on unhappy employees and limiting unnecessary access to company servers, portals, and files can significantly reduce employee data theft. Protecting company information and intellectual property can take a concerted effort by the human resources department, IT, and the corporate legal department to prevent a breach — new technologies and keeping a pulse on employee morale can help.
But those in the corporate legal department may be most interested in the legal tools that can set an employee's expectations about company data, and save the business from employee theft down the line:
- Separation agreements: commonly referred to as a severance agreement, release, or settlement, this agreement creates the rules under which the employer-employee relationship will be governed if the employee leaves employment or is terminated.
- Non-disclosure agreements or clauses: one of several types of restrictive covenants typical in the employment setting, the employee will be bound not to disclose the business's proprietary or confidential information. (Not all states honor restrictive covenants, and some states limit their enforcement based on duration, geography, or industry.)
- Non-competition agreements or clauses: the employee may be bound by this agreement not to work, consult, or advise the former employer's competitors or to establish a business that competes with the former or current employer.
A letter to the new employer regarding the former employee's obligations under his or her separation agreement puts a new employer on notice about what the employee can and cannot share and the potential liability. Find examples of employment agreements and clauses in WestlawNext's Employment Sample Agreements.

Everything about this is amazing: a Massachusetts man visited a local animal shelter on Friday "to report that his hamster population was out of control." According to the Boston Globe, he had started out with just two hamsters, but since hamsters breed like, uh, hamsters, that number increased exponentially, until he found himself with eighty. He apparently tried to separate them by sex to stop the population explosion, but that was difficult because it's hard to tell what sex a hamster is until it pops out baby hamsters. The hamsters soon outgrew the fish tanks he'd been keeping them in, and he had to use Tupperware containers, buckets, and an empty litter box. Finally — and this is the sad part of the story — the man couldn't afford to feed himself anymore due to the insatiable demands of his hamsters. He offered to take the hamsters to the shelter in a cab, since he didn't have a car, but shelter employees picked them up, thus sparing an innocent cab driver the shock of driving across town with eighty little animals in Tupperware containers. The hamsters are now up for adoption, except for twelve of them, who have already found homes.

Claire Wilson
RIPTON — Claire Wilson passed away at her home in Ripton on Dec. 31, 2007, surrounded by family and friends. Born Sept. 26, 1950, in Evanston, Ill., Claire Ellen Lodal was the firstborn child of Norm and Shirley Lodal and the namesake of her beloved grandfather Clarence Edward Nelson.
Raised in Skokie and Rockford, Ill., with her three siblings, Beth, Peter and John, Claire lived in a close-knit family that enjoyed sports, music and reading. As an undergraduate, Claire attended Illinois Wesleyan University where she majored in English, graduated Phi Beta Kappa and later served for three terms as a college trustee. As a sophomore, she met Christopher Kent Wilson and they were married during their senior year on Dec. 27, 1970.
After graduation, Claire and Kit moved to New Haven, Conn., where Claire earned her master's degree in special education. Before giving birth to her first son, Benjamin Lodal Wilson, in 1976, Claire taught in the North Haven school system and at Southern Connecticut State College. In 1979, the family moved to Ripton, Vt. During the early 1980s, Claire worked in the Student Activities Office at Middlebury College, served as a college carilloneur and was an active member of the Ralph Myhre Golf Course and an early organizer of Hook-a-Kid on Golf.
In 1984, she gave birth to her second son, Peter Copp Wilson, and began working for Professor Steven Rockefeller, assisting him with his many scholarly projects, including his biography of John Dewey, his work on the Earth Charter, and the college symposiums and art exhibitions, Christ and the Bodhisattva (1984) and Spirit and Nature (1990), celebrating the visits of the Dalai Lama to Middlebury.
For over 20 years in Steven's office, Claire worked closely with her dear friend and colleague Janet Winkler. Supporting and caring for each other from the beginning to the very end, Claire and Janet wove together an extraordinary relationship combining commitment and purpose with joy and laughter.
Over the years, Claire worked quietly behind the scenes on several community projects as well as volunteering at The Bridge School, Otter Creek Day Care and Quarry Hill School. For several years, she was an active supporter of the Vermont Fencing Alliance and an organizer of Middlebury and Babe Ruth baseball. Largely through her organizational efforts as president of Babe Ruth, many Addison County youths enjoyed long summer afternoons and evenings playing baseball and even more important, building friendships that have lasted through the years.
In recent years, Claire served as a friend and resource to other people at Middlebury College and the Addison County community living with cancer. During the past five years, Claire confronted the highs and lows of life with dignity, grace and courage. Between treatments and in the midst of her illness, Claire traveled widely to family reunions, visiting friends, enjoying operas and concerts with her sister Beth, and attending the wedding of her son Benjamin to Trina MacDonald on a magical September evening in Salzburg, Austria.
Working closely with the caring and dedicated medical staffs at Fletcher-Allen, Sloane-Kettering, and Addison County Home Health, Claire received extraordinary care that enabled her to work and serve until her final days and even more important, to meet, hold, and care for her first grandson and namesake, Nolan Clarence Wilson. As Claire often said, "It is, indeed, a wonderful life."
A memorial service celebrating Claire's life will be held in Mead Chapel at Middlebury College on Jan. 17 at 4:30 p.m. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to Addison County Home Health and Hospice or the charity of your choice.

The 1977 TV blockbuster "Roots" features a scene in which the slave Kunta Kinte, played by LeVar Burton, is whipped unmercifully until he acknowledges that his name in captivity will be Toby. The sequence is not only distinguished by its brutality, but also because it is one of a very few movie or TV representations of "the peculiar institution," both before it and since, that acknowledged the violence and depravity of slavery. And never before had an audience of 130 million been treated to such an unflinching spectacle.
"Slavery has been whitewashed [in Hollywood]; you don't get the cruelty, you don't get the savagery," says film historian and author Donald Bogle, who teaches at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts. "Hollywood did not want to deal with that, and the studios did not want to alienate the Southern audience. The point of identification was the noble white master."
That began to change by the late '90s with Steven Spielberg's "Amistad," the 1997 film about a slave revolt, and Jonathan Demme's 1998 offering, "Beloved," in which a woman kills her daughter to prevent her from ever being enslaved. And now there's "12 Years a Slave" from British director Steve McQueen, which makes the brutal reality of the antebellum South almost tangible.
TIMELINE: The Academy Awards through the years
"Slavery in the past has been regarded with a certain level of distance and fear of getting into it," says John Ridley, who wrote the "12 Years" screenplay, which tells the true story of Solomon Northup, a free black man who was kidnapped in Washington, D.C., in 1841 and sold into slavery in New Orleans. You can "look at a romanticized viewpoint, in terms of 'Gone With the Wind,'" Ridley adds, "or Uncle Remus telling stories to the white kids. There's a certain distance, a certain remove."
Certainly, slavery has been a cinematic subject almost since the advent of the medium — a stereotypical version of "Uncle Tom's Cabin," featuring happy slaves dancing at a slave auction, was first filmed in 1903, and D.W. Griffith's classic 1915 film, "The Birth of a Nation," although mostly about the Civil War and its aftermath, romanticized the Ku Klux Klan while featuring slavery as a major subtext.
These images, and others that followed over the years, demonstrate that "any representation of slavery, whether strictly historical or visual, says as much about the politics of society at the time than the actual institution," says Hilary J. Moss, who teaches a course called Slavery and the American Imagination at Amherst College.
INTERACTIVE: Best and worst Oscar moments since 2008
Case in point: Films such as "Mandingo," "Drum" and "Slaves," which popped up during the blaxploitation era of the late 1960s and '70s, focused on master-slave sexual shenanigans. "['Mandingo'] was released at the height of the blaxploitation era, and those films were consciously over the top, dwelling in the more explicit examples that applied to slavery and sexuality, and the racial taboos that grew out of those circumstances," says Todd Boyd, a professor of critical studies in USC's School of Cinematic Arts.
Films like these were more "the blaxploitation, women-in-chains kind of things," agrees Ridley. "That's the lineage of 'Django Unchained' — it's a black guy with a gun giving it to whitey. It's a continuation of a certain mind-set, not a historical piece," he says of Quentin Tarantino's Oscar-winning revisionist history film.
In fact, early film depictions of slavery largely shied away from any sort of accuracy, often wallowing instead in all sorts of stereotypes and historical clichés — like the mammy figure played by Hattie McDaniel in "Gone With the Wind," Ken Norton's black stud in "Mandingo" or benevolent plantation owner Clark Gable falling for his beautiful mulatto slave Yvonne De Carlo in 1957's "Band of Angels." Many films portrayed the more lurid aspects of the institution, which generally involved the familiar Hollywood staples of sex and violence.
"That's understandable," says Natalie Zemon Davis, author of "Slaves on Screen." "It's what easily creates a good story, and one that's visually interesting. As the abolitionists knew, talking about sexual abuse and violence was sure to engender support for their movement, and that's the take you bring to film."
VIDEO: Highlights from the Envelope Screening Series
Yet except for "Django," a box-office hit that is a rousing mashup of spaghetti western, blaxploitation film and slave flick, many of those previous releases concerned with slave sex and violence were exploitation movies that played only to a limited audience.
When it comes to more mainstream productions and how they were received by moviegoers, the story is a mixed one. Despite their pedigrees, "Amistad" and "Beloved" were not commercial successes. Even "Glory," the Oscar-winning 1989 Denzel Washington film about a regiment of black soldiers — freemen and former slaves — during the Civil War, failed to gain much box-office traction. In limited release, "12 Years" had earned about $9 million in its first two weeks, putting it on track for a solid end-of-the season showing.
But last year's "Lincoln," also from Spielberg, was a box-office hit, pulling in $275 million worldwide. That could be, in part at least, because, even though the focus of the film was on President Lincoln's efforts to emancipate the slaves, signs of slavery itself were nearly absent from the screen.
"There are ways of making a story about slavery feel more appealing," says Moss. "Stories that tend to have emancipation at the center or have racial reconciliation seem to have more appeal than a film like 'Beloved,' which is more uncomfortable because it deals with infanticide and the less savory aspects of slavery."
Yet "12 Years a Slave," which was filmed once before in 1984 by Gordon Parks for the PBS movie "Solomon Northup's Odyssey," doesn't shy from slavery's inhumanity and puts it front and center. Everything from the horrors of the slave auctions and plantation working conditions to whippings, beatings, rapes, humiliations and other forms of brutality make their appearance in an uncompromising film that refuses to avert its eyes from the truth of the institution.
Ridley says he was attracted to the story because it is about "what slavery means, what freedom means." In the past, he says, "the totality" of what slavery meant, "the brutality of it, how whites were indoctrinated into this belief, that slavery was so pervasive at that time," had never really been represented on screen. "But now I think audiences in general, what they can handle story-wise, there's an audience that can understand it. Our reality is heightened right now."

Saturday, the Wolverines returned to the friendly confines of Michigan Stadium to confront the Northwestern Wildcats for the first of a critical two game home stand, that could play a big part in determining the course of the their season. The Wolverines needed to win to get into position to achieve a shot at the Legends title game, which they will have, if they can win out, and Nebraska losses again. Unfortunately, Nebraska owns the head to head tiebreaker. After the 'Cats, the Iowa Hawkeyes come next, and then Ohio in Columbus. All three games are of equal importance, except for bragging rights, but first things first, and that was hosting, and trying to best the Wildcats. The 'Cats made it a game. The Wolverines dramatic finish made it one to remember.
THIS YEAR'S WILDCATS: Coach Pat Fitzgerald brought a pretty decent Big Ten Football team to Ann Arbor. Seven wins and two losses through nine games is a good record, and three wins and two losses in the B1G is also decent. Their rush defense was fourth in the B1G prior to Saturday. Statistically they were more susceptible to the pass defensively only ranking 8th in the B1G, and the Wildcats were not in the top 100 in pass offense nationally. Actuality: They proved again their vulnerability in that area Saturday yielding 286-yards passing to the Wolverines.
Arriving in Ann Arbor tenth in total B1G defense seemed encouraging to the Michigan cause because M could stop the run. Actuality: The 'Cats played a very good football game, moving the ball against the Wolverines with monotony, and converting far too many third downs (8 of 16). But the Wolverines moved the ball to counter. The Wolverines managed 7 of 10 third down conversions. NW cashed in on a controversial late 1st down that seemed to seal the Wolverines doom in regulation. There was more than one situation in this game that portended doom, but this is a team that does not quit and it saved them.
Unlike some past NW teams, this year's edition is a rush first team, relying on the legs of Kain Colter, and tail back Venric Mark. Both Colter and Mark had admirable games Saturday, but both ended up nicked. Late in Saturday's game Mark had the misfortune of providing a cushion for Frank Clark, and that ended his participation. Mark had rushed for 1,072-yards previously and he added 104 net yards on 23 carries Saturday, with one TD. He demonstrated he is a special team whiz that can return kick offs and break the big one, and he proved that Saturday, but his longest and a potential game breaking return of a KO to pay dirt was fortunately called back due to penalty. That play could have sealed M's fate.
The Wildcats wanted to control the clock and dominate the line of scrimmage with the running game, and for much of regulation they did, and they did totaling 431 net yards to M's 419, while establishing a time of possession for the game of 34.28 to M's 25.32. In the face of Michigan's pregame great pass defense statistics, NW wreaked a little havoc though the air at times, getting a couple of TDs, and securing 8 of 16 1st down conversions by air and ground. Kain raised Cain with M's defense at times. QB Colter shared the task with Trevor Siemian. Siemian completed a just before the half two minute drill with six, which after the point, tied the game 14 up at the half.
NW threw 13 times and hit 21 for 183-yards. M completed 16 of 30 for 286-yards with 2 TDs. NW ran 58 times for 248-yards, but only one TD. M ran 32 times producing 133-yards and 3 TDs.
NW's Colter was 8 of 14 for 89-yards and 1 TD, and Siemian was 6 of 7 for 87-yards and 2 TDs. Colter on the ground carried 24 times for 106-yards.
M's Devin Gardner was 16 of 29 for 286 passing and 2 TDs. He ran 9 times for 49-yards with 3 TDs and a long of 17. That run of 17-yards on third down saved the day.
The last time the Wildcats took down the Wolverines, it was November of 2008, and Nick Sheridan was the QB, and Saturday it was too close for comfort again. NW played a good hard hitting game of football. None of that Mildcat stuff applies this year.
THE WOLVERINES DEFENSE: Looking at the stats from M's first nine games, it seemed that the Wolverines matched up well with the Wildcats defensively. Actuality: the Wolverines gave up 31 points. What else needs to be said? The Wildcats managed 431-yards against the Wolverines yesterday. NW took the measure of the Wolverine defense. Yet, when crunch time came, it was the Wolverine's defense that stared the Wildcats down, enabling a win, by stopping the 'Cats cold in the late 4th quarter, and overtime. Kenny Demens and Desmond Morgan each had 9 stops.
Again, while Michigan's defense struggled with the fine option running of Colter and Mark, they came alive in time, when the game was on the line. Late in the game, in regulation, a late hit by Beyer almost torpedoed the Wolverines. It was a possible game changer, but fortunately Beyer did not become a goat.
THE WOLVERINES OFFENSE: Pregame the continuing question was the offense. Could anyone other than Denard (if he played), or Devin (if he played) rack up significant yardage overland? Actuality: Denard wore headphones and Devin played an outstanding game. Would they be able to score in the red zone? Yes. By land and air. Would they avoid offensive errors? Actuality: Devin played a fine game, with only one interception. The Wolverines had a single fumble, after a 50-yard run. Devin was poised, knew when to throw the ball away, took some shots and hung onto the ball, and passed and ran well. His bootleg TD run in overtime provided the winning margin. On his one interception he may have misread man when it was a zone defense. He is my player of the game. He threw for 286-yards and 2 TDs, and also ran for two TDs, winning the game with the last one, and stretching for the pylon on the first one. He is a great athlete in his own right that has stepped up and out into the limelight.
Coach Hoke on Devin: "I think Devin was very consistent. I thought he stayed in the game and managed the offense. He had the one bad throw, probably two of them during the course of the game. He's just got to see the field a little better, but he moved our offense. I thought he did a nice job on third down; I think we were 7-of-10, which is pretty good."
Devin was chased hard for my player of the game accolade by Roy Roundtree. Roy caught well going 5 for 139. The hands were there. Roundtree's opportunistic 4th quarter catch in regulation, where he snagged a pass re-directed by the defensive back, and no doubt saved the win. Late in the game and down three points M's chances of winning the game seemed slim if not impossible. Impossible until Gardner hit Roundtree for a 53-yard gain, and Roy made his improbable catch. That set up Brandon Gibbons FG to send the 31-31 game into overtime, with only a pair of seconds left on the ticker. Gibbon's kick was for 26-yards. Jeremy Gallon caught 7 for 94-yards.
Coach Hoke on Roundtree's catch: "We had to get ourselves into field goal range. We used the three timeouts in the right manner earlier. It was one of those things, we got some good field position because of the punt return, so that really helped us. It got us into a good area. Then, it kind of fell into Roy's hands. He did a tremendous job fighting for it, keeping his eye on the football, and he came down with a big one."
Without Denard the Wolverine rushing game has been spotty at best this season. It is a shame that at this late date in the season the offense is unsettled because of an injury to Denard, and the fact that the ground game has not lived up to either expectations or last year's effectiveness. I hoped to see Denard at full rushing capacity, if not full passing capacity. His injury is a shame.
The Wolverines were attempting to go 12-0 at the Big House under Coach Hoke, and that's the way it was-finally.
THE GAME AND BRIEF SCORING RECAP: The Wolverines received, stalled and punted. The Wildcats went to work advancing with a spectacular one handed catch. This for a team that the statistics said could not pass. Venric Mark scored on a three yard run. M-0, NW- 7.
A 10-play, 78-yard drive featuring a 32-yard catch by Roy Roundtree on the NW half of the field, and an eight yard gallop by Devin Gardner in which he stretched for the pylon, and scored, resulted in a 7-7 game. It was reassuring to know that the offense could move the ball without Denard against this group in a critical game.
Fitz Toussaint showed some life in the second quarter with a nifty fifty-yard run, but the ball was poked out, and recovered by the 'Cats. M's Joe Bolden saved the day, when NW returned the favor and donated the ball back. On the foundation of a 17-yard Devin Gardner scramble, Thomas Rawls plowed into the end zone for six on a one-yard run, and suddenly it was M-14, NW 7.
But those pesky 'Cats would not leave well enough alone and tied the score before the half. Coach Fitzgerald inserted passing QB Trevor Siemians, and he produced a 56-yard drive culminating in a 19-yard TD pass. At the half it was knotted a 14- all.
After that it was worrisome as the 'Cats would receive to start the second. Those worries were justified. 10 plays and 75-yards later they had another TD. M-14, NW-21. Then they hit a 34-yard field goal, and it was M-14, NW 24, and it was looking like we might be out of the race.
But when Gardner hit Jeremy Gallon on a 42-yard pass, and then Fitz Toussaint on 28-yard scoring pass, a semblance of order was again restored. M-21, NW 24.
In the final quarter, the Wildcats made some mistakes that hurt. There was a costly a block in the back penalty. The Wolverines were buried at their own nine-yard line, but not in despair, having had the benefit of two back to back passes to Roy Roundtree. Then came the TD strike to Freshman TE Devin Funchess with under 10 minutes in the game. Great throw and catch. The ever improving Funchess is definitely earning his scholarship. M-28, NW-24.
The wily Wildcats set off on a journey of clock domination which lasted about five minutes and ended with a 15-yard scoring pass. The receiver was so open it was painful, and Michigan was behind again M-28, NW 31.
Enter Dennis Norfleet, who hauled the ensuing KO 37-yards to the M 42. Seemingly trapped he reversed direction and scampered up the side line. Gardner then threw an interception and I thought for sure, this time it was over. The 'Cats ran the clock down to 18 seconds, and the Wolverines had it at their 38.
Enter Roundtree, as he became the recipient of the spectacular 53-yard grab described above, which Gibbons promptly flew the ball thru the uprights for three, and it was 31 all and overtime was on tap.
NW won the toss and forced M to go first. Devin Gardner finished the game with a roll out around end for a third and one, one-yard score. M-38, NW-31 and it was up the defense. They rose to the occasion, and by stopping the 'Cats cold, preserved the win.
Both teams played well in a very competitive and exciting game that was worth the price of a ticket on a decent football day, in a beautiful setting, played when some feel a football game should be played.
It looks like Devin Gardner can carry the load, and he is a great athlete. He has restored confidence in the belief that there will be an experienced candidate for the position in the QB competition next year. The injury to Denard has a real downside in almost all respects, but it has not hurt a thing that Devin has had the chance to acquire real game winning experience.
Hopefully Denard will be back at the helm next week and at 100%, for his last fling in Michigan Stadium. Crowd appreciation for him should be as momentous as it is deserved. Will we ever see his like again?
Bring on the Hawkeyes!
Go Blue!

The unemployment rate declined to 8.1 percent last month, according to the August jobs report released yesterday, although unemployment as generally understood actually increased. As James Pethokoukis explains, the decline in the unemployment rate was attributable to a big drop in the labor force participation rate (the share of Americans with a job or looking for one): "If fewer Americans hadn't given up looking for work, the unemployment rate would have risen." That is to say, "[i]f the participation rate had just stayed the same as last month, the unemployment rate would be 8.4%." It's almost enough to make you think that someone is monkeying with the numbers to make the reported result come out "right" (i.e., favorable to Obama).
Though his column concludes with a farrago of generic bromides, Mortimer Zuckerman usefully summarizes the appalling employment picture. Zuckerman reviews the data and concludes: "the real unemployment rate is closer to 19%." He therefore observes: "We are experiencing, in effect, a modern-day depression." By the same token, Pethokoukis observes that the data show the labor market to be mired "in a deep depression[.]"
Four more years!

Ladies and Gentlemen, meet Jordan Charters. Thanks goes out to Jordan for submitting this tutorial to Photoshop 911, and a congratulations for becoming one of our Photoshop Faves! BambooGraphics.co.uk is his virtual portfolio displaying all his works. Jordan is from Hertfordshire England and is currently studying Interactive Media at Oaklands College. And now we'll let Jordan share his ...
YouTube Background TutorialThe default YouTube profile background is fairly plain, even with their custom design options its not quite unique. With the following tutorial ive made for you to follow you can learn how to create a great looking Web 2.0 YouTube background design. I included a .PSD file to start you off with and then just apply the various effects/settings as shown below.
Download the .PSD file here!
Step 1
Open the .PSD file I have included with this tutorial. In the "Layers" area near the bottom right you should have two folders and a layer. Click the Eye next to all the layers to hide them for now. Create a new layer by clicking the little paper looking icon and drag it to the Bottom of the layers list. This will be your background and be underneath all the other layers.
Step 2 Select the Gradients tool (normally in the sub menu to the Paint bucket tool, click and hold to reveal the sub menu). Click the thumbnail gradient at the top left to reveal the gradient settings window. Around the gradient preview you will see 4 small arrows, double click the bottom left and input the colour code (#0500d9), click OK. Same again with the bottom right arrow and input (#090040), click OK when finished.
Step 3
Hold shift and drag a line from top to bottom of your canvas. Release shift and your mouse button and you should be left with a Gradient effect across your canvas.
(Note that you can click graphics on this page for enlargements, if you have pop-up windows enabled!)
Step 4
From the main menu select, FILTER > DISTORT > WAVE. Now input all the settings from the image below.
Step 5
On the main menu again select, FILTER > DISTORT > POLAR COORDINATES. Follow the settings shown below in the image and press OK.
Step 6
Now you should have a sunburst effect on your canvas. On the layers area re-enable all the layers by clicking the small box next to them showing the eye. Click the folders to reveal the layers inside and change these layers to an opacity of 10% each. Opacity setting can be found just above the layers.
For the average user, most would see any content placed inside those 2 left and right sections down the sides. Any futher out than that and most would not see it unless they have a bigger monitor. My personal laptop is 15" screen and can only see content put inside of those sidebars otherwise its off the screen and not visible so please keep this in mind when adding content ontop.
You can now create more layers and add in the content you want to the sidebars because you've sucessfully completed this tutorial!
Thank you for reading through the tutorial, please invite others to the website!
Jordan Charters
Visit Jordan's YouTube Channel where you'll actually see this background in use. Or, those of you who are serious about YouTube, will want to continue this tutorial with Jordan's guide to Apply YouTube Background Design yourself.
Again we thank Jordan Charters for sending in this tutorial, and we invite you to suggest a new Photoshop Fave for us, or, submit your own tutorial for consideration. Go to : www.graphic-design.com/Photoshop/fave_tutorials.html

Luce Foundation partners with linguists to save endangered languagesUniversity of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
Director of Communications
The world is experiencing an alarmingly accelerated rate of language extinction. It is predicted that at least fifty percent of languages will not survive this century. Every time a language disappears without documentation, we experience a monumental loss of scientific and human information.
In order to help stem this linguistic and cultural crisis, the Henry Luce Foundation has awarded $160,000 to the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa Department of Linguistics in the College of Arts and Sciences for research on endangered languages in China and mainland Southeast Asia for the Catalogue of Endangered Languages (ELCat).
"To have such a major grant awarded to the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa Department of Linguistics is a true testament to the value of the international significance of the ELCat project's work and its critical role in fostering language preservation and revitalization," said UH Mānoa Chancellor Tom Apple.
The ELCat project is a joint undertaking by UH Mānoa and the LINGUIST List at Eastern Michigan University. It has received financial support from the National Science Foundation (NSF) and in-kind support from Google. The primary goal of ELCat is to produce a comprehensive, reliable, up-to-date source of information about the world's endangered languages. The ELCat project began in the fall of 2011 and the findings of the first phase are available at the Endangered Languages Project website.
"The Henry Luce Foundation's award will greatly help us document the particularly complex linguistic picture in China and mainland Southeast Asia," said Professor of Linguistics at UH Mānoa Lyle Campbell, director of the ELCat project. He continued, "China has both a large number of Chinese languages (often inaccurately called 'dialects' of Chinese) and minority languages which are very different from the Chinese languages. The exact number of languages in China is simply unknown, though many of them are endangered. In China alone (not including Taiwan), 85 languages are considered endangered, but we do not know the real number."
ELCat will be critical in our understanding of which languages are in most imminent danger of extinction and will help direct future scholarly work, resource investment, and conservation efforts. There is no other such resource that exists today.
Thanks to the Henry Luce Foundation, NSF and Google, the ELCat project will:
• Develop a definitive catalogue of endangered languages, with extensive new knowledge about the situation in East and Southeast Asia.
• Provide hands-on research experience and training for a number of graduate students, the future specialists in these regions.
• Serve as a resource for communities whose languages are endangered, providing them with information to help their efforts at language preservation and revitalization.
• Raise public awareness, foster increased research on endangered languages of these regions, and increase documentation of these little-known languages.
"The project fits well with the Luce Foundation's goal to strengthen scholarly and public resources on East and Southeast Asia," said Helena Kolenda, who directs the foundation's Asia Program. "We are grateful to UH Mānoa and to Professor Campbell for their leadership in this important effort to document linguistic and cultural diversity."

Senator John Thune Questions Closing of Wind Cave Campground
CUSTER - U.S. Senator John Thune is questioning a decision to close a campground at Wind Cave National Park in southwestern South Dakota due to automatic federal spending cuts that took effect March 1.
The South Dakota Republican sent a letter to National Park Service Director Jonathan Jarvis questioning whether the agency is intentionally trying to make the cuts more visible to the public.
Thune says spending cuts should target wasteful spending. He says closing the Elk Mountain Campground and reducing visitor center hours will cut park revenue.
Wind Cave Superintendent Vidal Davila said in a statement that a 5 percent budget cut forced the park to close the campground to eliminate the need for two summer maintenance workers to provide upkeep. Evening campfire programs presented by rangers also have been cut.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Verizon Communications Inc on Thursday posted stronger- than-expected third-quarter earnings and revenue driven by wireless growth, sending its shares up 4 percent.
While wireless customer growth was slightly below Wall Street estimates, its Verizon Wireless venture with Vodafone Group Plc posted good profit and revenue growth as customers spent more on data services. Verizon has agreed to buy out Vodafone's 45 percent share of the venture.
The subscriber shortfall caused some concern that the company, the first U.S. telephone operator to report this quarter, was losing market share to rivals such as T-Mobile US Inc.
New Street analyst Jonathan Chaplin said that while Verizon's financials were "outstanding," "there were clear signs that a resurgent TMUS is impacting even Verizon."
Chief Financial Officer Fran Shammo conceded some lower-spending customers moved to rival services in the quarter even as he told analysts on the company's quarterly conference call that "we continue to gain market share."
Instead, he blamed the subscriber shortfall on shortage of Apple Inc's iPhone 5S. About one-half of the Verizon Wireless smartphone activations were iPhones, representing roughly 3.9 million iPhone activations.
"The shortage on the 5S was a significant issue for the quarter," Shammo told Reuters in an interview.
The executive said that 8.4 percent service revenue growth at Verizon Wireless was sustainable in the short term but expected the growth rate to decline in the future.
Verizon Wireless added 927,000 net retail subscribers in the quarter, compared with Wall Street expectations of about 1 million customers, according to eight analysts, with estimates ranging from 900,000 to 1.2 million.
While much of Verizon's growth was from customers connecting devices like tablet computers, Verizon said phone customers, still made up the most of its growth at 481,000.
Verizon said it expects wireless customer growth to improve sequentially in the fourth quarter but did not give specific estimates.
Verizon reported a third-quarter profit of $2.2 billion, or 78 cents per share, compared with $1.59 billion, or 56 cents per share, a year ago.
Excluding unusual items, Verizon earned 77 cents per share in the quarter, compared with Wall Street expectations of 74 cents, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
Its wireless profit margin was 51.1 percent, based on earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization(EBITDA) as a percentage of service revenue, and above its target range of 49 percent to 50 percent for the full year.
Hudson Square analyst Rethemeier said the profit margin would likely come down in the fourth quarter due to steep holiday season costs, since the company kept its wireless margin target for the year despite the strong third-quarter number.
Revenue rose 4.4 to $30.28 billion from $29.01 billion. Wall Street expected $30.16 billion, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
Strong wireless service revenue growth for the quarter was offset by a decline of 3 percent in its global enterprise business and a slower 4.3 percent rise in its consumer business, which includes its FiOS television service.
Verizon's enterprise business was affected by government budget cutbacks and cost cuts in the private sector, according to Shammo, who expects the business to remain flat in 2014.
"Generally speaking, enterprise customers continue to be cautious regarding new investment decisions," Shammo said.
Verizon, which competes with cable companies in television and broadband services, said it added 173,000 net FiOS Internet connections and 135,000 net FiOS video customers in the quarter.
Shammo said Verizon terminated a technology joint venture with cable rivals Comcast Corp, Time Warner Cable and privately held Brighthouse Networks for competitive reasons.
The venture, which had worried some consumer advocates, was set up to develop converged wireless and wireline products for consumers when Verizon agreed to buy wireless spectrum for its cable rivals.
The cable operators still resell Verizon Wireless services in markets where they do not compete but Shammo said that the technology venture was killed because of competition concerns.
"What was realized was that the cable companies didn't want to jointly develop something that FiOS was going to get at the end of the day and of course we weren't doing to jointly develop something that FiOS wouldn't get," Shammo said. "There was no meetings of the minds."
Verizon shares rose 3.9 percent to $49.14 in afternoon trade on the New York Stock Exchange.

All EBC rotors including USR Slotted Rotors are British made and are precision machined in the UK. Rotors are made from high quality grey iron to exacting standards and undergo extensive testing and rigorous quality control. Slotted rotors can significantly improve brake performance and longevity when used with a matching high friction brake pad set. EBC have always been honest enough to say that the biggest advantage of slotted rotors is the fact that they promote flat and parallel pad wear rather than allowing ridges to develop on pads and rotors which is typical of "drilled only" sport rotors. By preventing these ridges brakes stay more consistent throughout pad and rotor wear life (simple physics!).
EBC Brakes have been keeping off-roaders safe with superior stopping power for over 35 years. As the world's largest producer of brake pads and brake discs, the company's range of products fuses technology, quality control and in-house research to ensure high safety standards. Among EBC's offerings are aramid brake pads, ceramic brake pads, sintered brakes and carbon long-life brake pads, which are all handcrafted and designed for the utmost in performance. If you're looking to cut corners on the cost of brakes, EBC's components are not for you. The company takes pride in their parts and processes don't skimp on quality and stress the importance of off-roading safety. Shop EBC Brakes Now

Nowadays I think a single processor, quad core is likely to be cheapest per nominal aggregate cycle, although there is also a quad processor, dual core by somebody -- Supermicro? that looks interesting and might be a hair cheaper.
