Like most people visiting this web site, I love snowboarding. I love snowboarding so much, I couldn't possibly let every entrant of Volcom's Peanut Butter Rail jam go snowboarding while I just stood there all day. Had I watched smiles happen all day around me, I'd been so drenched in misery I would have left before noon. That said, I got my laps done early and rushed back for finals, happy as everyone who made it through qualifiers.
Year after year the same thing is said, but the phrase still rings true. The kids are getting better. I'm not sure if mountain town children are being cross pollinated with a heavy serving of shredding and home school, but something sure is happening. Youth division winner Brandon Davis laid down 270 on and offs, frontboards through the kink and a heavy dose of determination to grab the golden spot. Also displaying impressive moves were Drayden Gardner and Mark Mortenson, who nabbed second and third respectively. Keep your eye on these young ones, if you don't look down you may miss them.
The driver's license division also went off, as young men battled for the top title in 16 and over. These mid sized men stepped up with half-cab combinations on the big rail, aggressive maneuvers on the baby box and locked in backlips and frontboards through the kink. Stylish winner Zander Blackmon put down some squared up frontsides on the kink, 270's out of the flatbar and some rapid rotating moves on the box. Bear park cruiser Max Tanbara got himself a piece of the action with consistent moves all over while Robert Toste pressed into third. Look for the rest of these men to move up into Open next year and take on the big leagues.

With team riders like Janna Meyen and Elena Hight it's no secret Volcom supports their women. Pushing the limits in the name of estrogen was miniature marvel Maddie Mastro, Jamie Madrid and Indigo Monk. Though most of these girls are old enough to drive, Maddie is prohibited from PG-13 movies for another 4 years. Though that math spells out the word young, this tiny tot hit everything with style and control. Winner Jamie Madrid locked in some half cab 50-50's while second place Saori Nasu and third Mellissa Spillman put down some tricks of their own. With women completed, it was time for the big show; Open Mens.
The familiar faces in Open read something like Bear Mountain's all-star team. Zak Hale put down clean tricks all day, but it was his front blunt 450 that solidified the win. Volcom's own Daniel Brown stole the Gooyest move title with a half-cab nosepress back one out on the kink and came in second overall for his moves, while Scott Vine put down textbook trickery to pull into third.
As always Volcom brought free treats for the taking, an epic bundle of prizes for the winners and all time announcing by Jeff Arnold. Volcom does it right, free food, free contests and a free invite to Volcom's Peanut Butter and Rail Jam championships for the top 5 division winners.

NY Times: As Virginia Goes, So Goes the Country?
It seems to be the universal belief by all the political pundits that we are in for a long night. With the latest polls showing the election still a dead heat, and lawyers already preparing their arguments for and/or against the results, we might not have a new (or old) president by the time rooster crows.
But all is not lost. Jim Rutenberg and Jeff Zeleny of the New York Times says there will be clues as to what could happen.
If exit polling indicates that Mr. Romney is substantially exceeding the share of the white vote that went to Senator John McCain four years ago, that will be a sign that he is replicating the coalition that gave President George W. Bush a second term. If Mr. Obama can win Virginia, a battleground with an early poll-closing time, Mr. Romney's options for getting an Electoral College majority will be substantially reduced. And in Ohio, the vote in Hamilton County, which Mr. Obama and Mr. Bush both won, could signal who takes the state.
So, based on that information, the first thing to keep an eye on is what happens in Virginia. It's polls close
According to Rutenberg and Zeleny, it is also about who is voting.
Mr. Romney's campaign built its theory of winning around the idea that turnout for Mr. Obama will fall well below his 2008 tally. The Obama campaign did not entirely disagree, but believes it has rebuilt his coalition of women, Hispanics, blacks and young voters just enough to win.
But in the beginning it will all come down to how Virginia goes:
If Mr. Obama carries Virginia, the path to victory narrows considerably for Mr. Romney, who will have to all but run the table of the remaining contested states. A senior adviser to the Romney campaign said the state's importance is greater than its electoral votes because the outcome there could set the tone for the rest of election night.
So, starting at 7 PM, all eyes will turn to the Old Dominion to see which way Virginia goes, and if as goes Virginia, so goes the country.
And I always thought Ohio was the key state.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Israel's Channel 2 News last year interviewed two Israeli women of Libyan origin who claimed to be distant relatives of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi.
The older of the two interviewees, Guita Brown, said she is Gaddafi's second cousin (Brown's grandmother was the sister of Gaddafi's grandmother). The younger of the two women, Rachel Saada, granddaughter of Brown, explained in more detail:
"The story goes that Gaddafi's grandmother, herself a Jewess, was married to a Jewish man at first. But he treated her badly, so she ran away and married a Muslim sheikh. Their child was the mother of Gaddafi."
While Gaddafi's grandmother converted to Islam when she married the sheikh, according to Jewish religious law (and common sense), she was ethnically still Jewish.
At this point the news anchor stated, "So, the point is that Gaddafi doesn't just have Jewish relatives, he is Jewish!"
Rumors of Gaddafi's Jewish background are nothing new. But with the current uprising in Libya that threatens to ultimately overthrow the dictator, as has happened in the neighboring countries of Tunisia and Egypt, Gaddafi may be looking for an exit strategy.
If the story told by Brown and Saada is true, Gaddafi is entitled to immigrate to Israel as a Jew under Israel's Law of Return. Even if every other country on earth refused him entry, Israel would be obligated by its own laws to take Gaddafi in.
At the time of the interview, the anchor quipped, "I am sure there is some local authority in Israel that would be pleased to have a former president on its staff."

Both San Francisco-based Wells Fargo and Co. and Alcoa Inc. of Pittsburgh beat analyst estimates in their 2014 second quarters and reported growth from last year's second quarter.
Wells Fargo
Wells Fargo, which has 40 branches in the midstate and is the market share leader in Dauphin County in terms of deposits, according to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., matched the analyst estimate for revenue in the second quarter at $1.01 in earnings per diluted share, according to Yahoo Finance. That figure was up 3 percent from the second quarter of 2013, according to a company news release.
However, it beat the analyst estimate on gross revenue, reporting $21.1 billion against analysts' estimate of $20.82 billion. While the gross revenue was down from $21.4 billion in the second quarter of 2013, net income rose 4 percent to $5.7 billion.
Wells Fargo trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol WFC. It has $1.6 trillion in assets and more than 9,000 locations in 36 countries.
Alcoa Inc.
Alcoa Inc. announced this week earnings per diluted share — excluding one-time special items expenses — at 18 cents, beating analyst estimates by 6 cents, according to Yahoo Finance.
The company reported net income of $216 million, but also had a $78 million cost for a previously announced restructuring to reduce the cost base of its commodity business.
Even with the special items, the $138 million of net income amounts to 12 cents per diluted share.
The second-quarter report was a good one for Alcoa after it reported a net loss of $178 million in the first quarter of the year. It also reported a net loss of $119 million in the second quarter of 2013, including special items of expense.
Alcoa has its North American rolled products factory in Manheim Township, Lancaster County. It trades its shares on the NYSE under the ticker symbol AA.

A Model Student and Entrepreneur
Yes, she is a model.
And there are pictures of Clarkson junior Caralyn Mirand in Seventeen, Seventeen Prom, Teen Prom, Plus Model Magazine and others. She's also in catalogs from Forever 21, Deb Shops, Sydney's Closet and Macy's. Yes, that Macy's. You can also see shots of her on lots of fashion blogs.
And, just to get it out of the way, the answer to the question she always gets is: yes, sometimes she gets to keep the clothes she models.
"The thing about modeling," she says, "people see the pictures, but most don't see behind the scenes. It's work."
And there aren't a lot of fashion studios in or around Potsdam. So, she travels—a lot—to Syracuse, then Los Angeles, Philadelphia and, of course, New York City. Then her hair is molded into place, makeup is slapped on and constantly re-touched, clothes are thrown at her and on her and then—flash!—a photographer captures something the magazines and catalogs and designers and industry execs like.
But she's Aretê—a double major at Clarkson—focusing on business innovation and psychology. And that's work, too, but Caralyn says her studies help further her modeling career.
"The shoot is a moment. The pictures, obviously, last longer. But both are business opportunities. At Clarkson, I'm learning to make the most of them. Part of that is learning how some powerful people in this industry make decisions that make careers."
"Caralyn's very driven," says Erin Draper, Director of Clarkson's Reh Center for Entrepreneurship. "And she's been very smart about entering the fashion world. She goes to these photo shoots, then talks with the business people there about the industry, what they do and how they build a brand."
Caralyn says her modeling started on a dare.
"My friends heard about this modeling competition and said I should enter," she says. "I was supposed to be working on my college admissions, but then I got an e-mail from one of the producers [of the televised competition] asking for more photos."
In just a few days, the Buffalo native put together a basic portfolio, sent it off and became a finalist—with an invitation to New York City, for her and her mom.
"So I had to go to my mom and say, 'Umm… I did something I shouldn't have.'"
She didn't get in trouble, but she did get on Fiercely Real Model Search, hosted by Tyra Banks. She placed second in the reality TV show and the exposure eventually led to her current modeling work.
In a way, it also led to Clarkson.
"As modeling became an option, I figured New York was the place to go to school. But then I saw a good friend just get swallowed by the City. It changed him and he wasn't happy. Clarkson was the last of the 15 campuses I visited and it just seemed like the right place for me."
She says her time here confirms that she chose well.
"When I'm at Clarkson, I know what's important in my life—what's real. I get a lot of support from my instructors, like [professor] Marc Compeau. He's helped me establish myself online and make sure my social media presence stays up to date. He's basically helped me build my brand."
Modeling, despite—or maybe because of—its make-believe character, has taught her some important lessons:
"I've met plenty of people in this business who promise the world, but then don't answer their phones. I've learned to look for people who are confident in their own skin. That's why I'm so blessed to have the friends I do. They keep me grounded."
Modeling was an unexpected path but she sees longevity for herself in front of the camera.
"There's no age cap in plus-size modeling, but when this winds down, I'm working on learning the strategies of people behind the scenes. I'd love to be an agent, picking faces for brands."
She says Clarkson is helping with this, too.
"It seems like every day, Clarkson reminds me that what really matters has to be a lot more than skin deep."

The Coastline Pilot's Alisha Gomez has been named managing editor of Los Angeles Times Community News (TCN) in Orange County, Editor John Canalis announced Wednesday.
Gomez will help oversee the staff of 24 that produces the Coastline Pilot, Daily Pilot and Huntington Beach Independent, which have a combined print circulation of 137,000. She previously served as managing editor of the Coastline and the Independent but on June 3 will add the Daily Pilot to her duties as part of a planned newsroom reorganization.
"Alisha is a talented editor, a solid journalist and a committed manager who will help improve our already great digital and print products in coastal Orange County," Canalis said. "I can think of no one better to help lead us through a rapidly changing journalistic landscape. She has the respect of the staff and the communities she currently serves in Laguna and Huntington, and I have every confidence she will make great things happen at the Daily Pilot as well."
Gomez, 34, joined TCN as a full-time employee in July 2012 after serving as a contract employee for about a year. Previously, she served as managing editor of the Orange County Business Journal and wrote for Riviera, Live OC! and Long Beach magazine. She has a bachelor's degree in journalism from Cal State Long Beach.
Gomez will report to Canalis, who will continue as TCN South editor in Orange County, and also provide editing help to LA Now, the Los Angeles Times breaking news blog.
The Pilot last had a managing editor in 2008, when the position was eliminated during the economic downturn.
The appointment of a managing editor is part of an overall newsroom restructuring that will allow more of the newspaper's editors to work across different titles and platforms and increase the newspapers' focus on its growing digital portfolio, Canalis said.
As part of the restructuring, Daily Pilot City Editor Jamie Rowe will become metro editor of all three titles in Orange County. Rowe, 30, began with the Daily Pilot six years ago and has held numerous positions, including online editor and copy editor. She previously worked as an editorial assistant at the Long Beach Press-Telegram.
Huntington Beach Independent City Editor Alicia Lopez will now serve as city editor for all three titles. Lopez, 42, rejoined the TCN staff about six months ago but in the past worked for TCN in multiple positions over several years. She also worked at the Irvine World News, the Tustin Weekly and the Inland Valley Bulletin in Ontario and as a journalism instructor at Orange Coast College.
Online Editor Kelly Parker, who worked for the Chico Enterprise-Record before joining TCN nearly six years ago as a page designer, will expand the newspaper's digital efforts by taking a more active role in the newsroom as an assignment editor. Parker, 29, previously served as a page designer and city editor in Laguna Beach.
The community newspapers are rapidly expanding the scope of their websites and tablet apps, and Parker will supervise their growth.
"Jamie, Alicia and Kelly, quite simply, make these newspapers work," Canalis said. "Without their fierce dedication to the communities we serve, we would not be as fast and nimble as we are online and our stories would not be as in-depth."

A large Clearwire Corp shareholder said on Friday it plans to ask the U.S. telecoms regulator to block the sale of the wireless service provider to its majority owner, Sprint Nextel Corp , stepping up the investor's campaign against the deal.
Crest Financial's general counsel also said on a call with reporters that it also plans to ask the U.S. Federal Communications Commission to block Sprint's plan to sell 70 percent of itself to Softbank Corp <9984.T> of Japan for $20 billion.
Continue Reading Below
Going to the FCC is a new line of attack on the Sprint deal by Crest, which has also filed a class action lawsuit on behalf of Clearwire investors. Dave Schumacher, Crest's general counsel, said on Friday the fund said other minority investors told Crest they did not support the Sprint deal, but he did not provide details.
The investment fund, which owns around 8 percent of Clearwire, has said Sprint's offer of $2.97 share for the roughly 50 percent of Clearwire it does not currently own, "grossly undervalues Clearwire." Sprint's offer is worth about $2.2 billion, but Schumacher said Crest had not done its own valuation and was basing its criticism of the price on estimates by analysts.
In going to the FCC, Crest will argue that the Clearwire deal artificially undervalues the company's spectrum holdings, Schumacher said. That in turn potentially devalues future revenue for the U.S. government when it auctions off spectrum licenses.
"The merger is therefore a bad deal all around for Clearwire shareholders and also for the public at large," said Schumacher.
Sprint spokesman Scott Sloat said the deal with Clearwire was the right one for Sprint, Clearwire and American consumers. He said the class action lawsuit was baseless.
A spokesman for Clearwire, Mike DiGioia, declined to comment on Crest's intention to go to the FCC. He said a special committee of the board conducted a rigorous evaluation of the company's options before agreeing to the Sprint deal.
Clearwire's chief executive, Erik Prusch, has said the company does not have attractive alternatives as it seeks funding to continue to upgrade its own network and could risk bankruptcy if the Sprint deal does not succeed.
Crest has sued Clearwire in the Court of Chancery in Delaware, where the company is incorporated, to permanently block the deal.
The Delaware court will hear arguments next week on Crest's request to expedite the case and Schumacher said Crest hopes to move to a trial in April.
The deal will need approval by a majority of Clearwire's minority shareholders and Sprint has said it has the support of three large Clearwire investors - Comcast Corp , Intel Corp and Bright House Networks LLC - which hold 13 percent of Clearwire stock. Schumacher said the fund would try to prevent the three from voting because of their affiliation with Sprint.
As Clearwire's fight with its shareholders heats up, Sprint has its own shareholders to contend with.
A Kansas court on Friday declined Sprint's request for an early dismissal of a lawsuit by a union pension fund that holds Sprint stock.
The lawsuit alleged that Sprint's chief executive, Daniel Hesse, rushed merger talks with Softbank and did not get a fair price.
The ruling by Thomas Sutherland, the judge for the District Court of Johnson County, Kansas, will allow the pension fund to begin to demand documents and witnesses as it tries to prove its case.
Sloat, the Sprint spokesman, declined to comment on the ruling.

DOVER — In many Seacoast homes, the kitchen refrigerator displays a timeline of the lives of a family. The door of the appliance in the Dover home of the Carberry family is no different, holding player cards signifying the baseball, basketball, football, lacrosse and dance youth careers of their three children.
Recently, Josh Carberry, a senior at St. Thomas Aquinas High School, experienced something not to be put on the refrigerator.
One day in October, Josh noticed a couple unfamiliar lumps on his neck and mentioned it to the school football team's trainer. Josh's concern was then passed very quickly through a conduit of health-care professionals, ending with a phone call from his pediatrician to his mother Stephanie.
"'How fast can you be in Boston?,' I was asked," said Stephanie. This was every mother's nightmare and she and her husband Jerry hustled to get their son to the Dana Farber Jimmy Fund Cancer Center in Boston quickly.
Biopsies were done, and a diagnosis of Hodgkins lymphoma was made. The family then had a crash course on Hodgkins and discovered it to be one of the most curable, if, as was the case with Josh, it is caught early on.
The 17-year-old Carberry was the starting center on St. Thomas football team and was in the midst of a very successful season.
"I understood all that was taking place," said the affable Josh, "and I just wanted to be able to play football."
Treatments were prescribed and fortunately matched with Josh's game schedule, which culminated in a playoff game.
Kristin Sweeney, mother of Josh's friend and classmate John, heard of the Carberry situation suggested to her son that they do something to recognize what he was going through.
Referring to his friends, "They are amazing group of kids," said Kristin, "since St. Thomas and St. Mary Academy were already sponsoring the Dover Holiday Parade they decided to put a special float in for him, using our Sweeney family Honda Ridgeline pickup."
Sunday morning, a group of Josh's schoolmates did something unusual for teenagers on the weekend — they arose early. They traveled to the Carberry home and at 8 a.m., with the temperature hovering below the freezing mark, and began decorating a float for Josh.
Classmate Meaghan Flynn, who has been a friend of Josh's "since pre-kindergarten days," gathered together seven of his school chums to create the float. "He is a great kid, and a good friend, we just wanted to show our support for who he is, and what he is going through," said Flynn.
All was not hard work, as the friends Flynn, Sweeney, Michelle Trainor, Alison Coffey, Sean Poole, Alex Shea, Alyssa Coneys all of St. Thomas and former classmate John Cifrino of Phillips Andover Academy shot hoops and zipped up and down the driveway on scooters. While chatting among themselves, they festooned the truck with purple (the color signifying Hodgkins Lymphoma) Christmas stockings and crepe paper. They also situated a "throne" — aka a beach chair — in the back of the truck, upon which Josh would ride throughout the parade. Each friend was clad in a specially made purple t shirt proclaiming: Hodgkins lymphoma Warriors, Support, Advocate, Cure. The float also included information on how parade goers may contribute to the Jimmy Fund.
Said friend Alison Coffey, "Josh has such a great sense of humor, we all want to show our support for him."
Classmate Aly Coneys concurred, saying "he is a special kid, friends with everyone in school. He doesn't hang around with just one group of friends, everyone likes him.
To acquaint their two younger children with Josh's challenge, the Carberrys took each aside and discussed the cancer and things to come.
"My mom was very good about explaining it," said 13-year-old Zac, an eighth grade basketball player at Dover Middle School.
Josh considers himself well on the road to recovery, with more chemo treatments in store "it was caught early, and I'm thinking positive, I'm over it," he said with the confidence only a teenager can have.
Twelve-year-old sister Erin, referring to her revered big brother, said "I was really nervous when I heard about the cancer, it made me nervous. Now I think everything is going to be OK."
Looking at the float being decorated for him, she smiled and said, "This is really cool, all of his friends really care about him. No one loves life more than Josh."

Bring Order to Your Open Source
Building an Open Source Policy
As open source makes greater inroads within IT organizations, it's time for companies to get serious about creating policies and governance models around its use.
Thorough license reviews, for example, are a good idea, given the requirements of various reciprocal open source licenses that require community distribution of code modifications, or that include software patent restrictions around them.
Companies probably are using open source software more than they realize, experts say, even if they still tend to be selective about where they'll take advantage of it. They tend to impose stricter requirements around approving its use when it comes to mission critical or customer-facing applications, says Brian Fan, senior partner with business and strategy consulting firm Olliance Group.
For these applications, the availability of commercial support for open source components is critical, because companies fear problems that could have an impact on their brand or customer relationships and want to have SLAs in place with parties who can quickly resolve any issues.
Fan was one of three experts this week who shared their views on some of the key governance issues around open source.
Who needs an open source policy?
Everybody. Phil Robb, R&D section manager in HP's open source and linux organization, says his company probably uses and interacts with open source more than the average organization--internally as part of the corporate IT infrastructure, as a distributor, within its software, embedded in its hardware, and as an active member in open source communities.
"If you interact with it in any of those ways, you need a policy," he says.
What's the state of open source policy and governance adoption among organizations?
"We pretty much see companies are all over the map," says Fan, some of them with policies from the early part of the decade that need extensions, some with very onerous policies written by the legal department that aren't being followed by the engineers, and some in denial that open source is even in widespread use.
Whatever the state, "We recommend that companies not panic," he says. You can come up with a well thought-out, comprehensive policy that covers all kinds of issues and put in place a process to remediate existing open source in use into compliance with a new policy with a few months.
Who should be involved in development and oversight of policy?
The consensus seems to be to make sure there's cross-functional representation. At Great American Insurance Group, an enterprise architecture review counsel, a virtual group chaired by the chief architect, is composed of architects across functional areas in IT, says Mark A. Bunch, a senior front end architect who also serves as an enterprise architect involved in defining the acquisition, support and governance of open source in the organization.
"From our experience, for its success, it needs to be a very cross functional group of folks," concurs Robb. "A lot about using open source software, particularly in distribution models, is understanding the technical aspects of use, along with what the legal implications are over various licenses associated with those pieces."
HP has R&D, legal, IP licensing team, as well as QA-oriented and project management personnel involved.
How do you get compliance with governance requirements?
"If you have someone with a problem about this, bring them into the process," Robb advises, which HP did by bringing a rep from HP Labs into the compliance efforts.
The labs team had some difficulty in abiding by the processes in the beginning, but that's changed with someone now on the team who can appreciate both positions. Understanding and compliance of the labs for processes and policies around open source interaction and usage is much better, he says.

Justin Moore Shares What's at the Top of His Bucket List
Although country star Justin Moore is only 28-years-old, he's already put some thought into what he wants to accomplish during his life. Moore revealed what's on top of his bucket list, and we love that his number-one dream is focused, of course, on country music.
Moore said, "The most important thing to me would be to become a member of the Grand Ole Opry." He continued, "With the tradition and the history that goes along with that, I think that matters more in the grand scheme of things than award here or there."
Though the 'Outlaws Like Me' artist has received numerous accolades, he acknowledges that "I'm really not concerned with awards. I think when I first got into it, maybe I was. And that was one of the things that was real important to me. I think that's just kinda changed over the years."
The busy Moore has many focused priorities, including an upcoming headline tour and new album, but this wish --- topping his bucket list --- is clearly near and dear to his heart.

Yea…that was me.
I ran the Securian Frozen Half Marathon (part of the St. Paul Winter Carnival) in a homemade freezer costume on Saturday. The route was 13.1 miles. I finished at a leisurely 2:10:55, which is an even 10-minute mile pace.
Yes, the costume slowed me down a bit. It was pretty windy and that wide box dragged like a kite! But it was a blast, and as one runner I ran with for a while on Saturday noted, everyone kind of embraced me.
I got lots of encouraging, "Go Warners!" cheers or "Yeah, dishwasher!" and of course, "You're crazy!" Plus, I think a lot of people used me as motivation; I heard several times that morning, "Don't get beat by a washer" by groups making a push up the line.
And the weather held up; It didn't rain as much as expected, and it was a balmy 35 degrees.
We made the freezer costume out of cardboard and felt,with a sign for the "inside" of the freezer that said "I'm freezin." I didn't figure out how to put arm holes in it, so I just ran with my arms inside.
I think I'll be back next year, and I'm open to suggestions on what to wear then. Thanks to everyone at the Winter Carnival for such a fun, St. Paul-esque event!

Subscribe To Vince Vaughn Reunites With Will Ferrell In Daddy's Home Updates
I've already subscribed
Vince Vaughn and Will Ferrell definitely have a proclivity towards working together. Between Old School, Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, Wedding Crashers and Starsky & Hutch, the two comedians have shared plenty of time on-screen. And today we've learned that they're about to add to that total.
The Hollywood Reporter has learned that Vaughn has joined the cast of Daddy's Home, the new comedy from director Etan Cohen that already has Ferrell attached to star. The script is about "a mild-mannered radio executive" (Ferrell) who wants to be the best stepfather he can be to his wife's children. This becomes complicated when their deadbeat biological father (Vaughn) returns and forces the protagonist to fight for the kids' affection.
While the movie will be Cohen's directorial debut, he has had a solid career in Hollywood with the pen. His previous feature credits include Idiocracy, Tropic Thunder, Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa, and, most recently, Men in Black 3. Paramount is producing the film and plans to have production start some time this fall. There is no currently release date.
Vaughn will soon be seen reuniting with another Wedding Crashers co-star as Shawn Levy's The Internship will be in theaters on June 7th. Later this year he will also be seen in the Ken Scott-directed comedy Delivery Man, a remake of a French Canadian comedy about a sperm donor who winds up fathering hundreds of children. He is also attached to star in the "high-concept comedy" Business Trip, which is based on a script by Steve Conrad.

We celebrated Miles's upcoming first birthday with a vintage circus party. I went overboard. And I am so happy I did. Everyone said, "Don't go crazy – he won't even remember it." Well, I can tell you there was more reason for me to celebrate this year than any other, and it was beyond special for me and my family. So, yeah, Miles probably won't remember this day if it weren't for the photos, but it will be a constant reminder to me of how far he's come. (See his birth day here and here.)I really just wanted to celebrate how much joy he has brought into my life. I should have a party like this every day.
I am so so happy that my brother and his family came (yay, Fleezies!) and so thankful for our group of friends who helped (esp. M+C and J+J) and who celebrated with us. Thank you for the gifts and for the donations to Ronald McDonald House!
Big thanks to Merrick Ales for some of the shots below.

When life is fair, someone will explain to me why the 2012 budget for the Water Quality Improvement division of the S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control seems to be around $39 million and our water quality does not improve, it only worsens. Certainly, the EC portion of that department should probably be renamed Costly Studies and Lack of Results.
However, of the $39 million, it seems about $16 million of it goes for something labeled "classified positions", so they must not be lacking in people to control water quality, which I assume is their primary function.
Nevertheless, from a water quality standpoint in Beaufort County, most of our rivers continue to degrade mainly due to our own foolish notion that we knew what we are doing when we continued to allow development on or near our streams, creeks, and rivers.
The May River Watershed Committee continues to attempt the herculean task of restoring that river to its previous pristine state, but sorely lacks both the financial resources to do it and the dedicated workforce to accomplish some of their stated goals. Did someone mention $16 million in personnel allocations?
DHEC has in the past, spent large amounts of money doing studies on the rivers, most recently the Okatie that result in telling us what we already knew, the river is dying, and you must stop polluting it, although in their infinite wisdom, another part of DHEC, sanctioned the future construction of marina not far from the headwaters. It may not technically match the book definition of a marina but to paraphrase Shakespeare, a rose by any other name is still a rose, it matters what it is, not what it is called.
Of course, their biggest folly happened recently when their board approved a permit allowing the deepening of the Savannah River for about 38 miles. If anyone believes the impact of changing the natural flow of that river is not going to profoundly affect the surrounding creeks and tributaries branching off of it throughout the Lowcountry with the resulting increases in salinity levels, changing not only our source of drinking water but additional shellfish harvesting areas, you have fallen victim to the old adage that the ends justifies the means.
With our South Carolina State Legislature sure to be moaning next year about the need to cut the budget, as they do every year and then increase it anyway, this department sure looks ripe for trimming.
Allocate the funds straight to the counties and the municipalities; they have the experience, know-how and most importantly, the desire to actually fix the problems, not to perpetuate their own existence. Let us see, $16 million divided by $50,000 annual salary, equals 320 people and our rivers keep getting worse, time for a change.
In the meantime, you can contact Joe Croley at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Department Honors Longtime Faculty Member
PLAINVIEW – Students, colleagues, former colleagues and former students turned colleagues gathered Friday afternoon in the Moody Science Building on the Wayland Baptist University campus to induct Dr. Philip Almes into the Math and Sciences Hall of Honor.
Dr. Almes, emeritus professor of mathematics, taught mathematics at Wayland for 20 years, beginning in 1984. Almes taught courses at all levels and helped develop the pre-engineering program, a partnership with Texas Tech University. Dr. Almes also was instrumental in developing Wayland's partnership with the Kenya Baptist Theological College, a partnership that has grown into a fully accredited degree program in Kenya, Africa.
More importantly, however, Dr. Almes taught thousands of students, passing on not only his love for the field of mathematics, but also his love of God. He inspired students to study God's creation and to live a life that demonstrates a daily walk with God.
One such student, Dr. Scott Franklin, now teaches mathematics at Wayland. Franklin vividly remembers his first class with Dr. Almes.
"He read off a list of students he needed to see after class," said Franklin, who was wondering what he had done to already make the professor mad at him. "I trudged to the front of the class with the others whose names he had read. When we got there, he said, 'You visited my church on Sunday. I was glad you were there and I hope you come back.'"
Dr. Franklin did return and spent his student years as a member of College Heights Baptist Church in Plainview.
Dr. Almes had a profound impact on Franklin's life, both in the classroom and out.
"I am grateful and indebted for all the advice I received from him," Franklin said. "He set an example as a faculty member that I try to follow in my career and life. It is one of the greatest privileges of my life to have studied under him as a student and to have served with him as a colleague."
Dr. Almes became the third professor inducted into the Hall of Honor, along with Dr. Dorothy McCoy, who taught mathematics at Wayland from 1948-75 and Dr. Harold Reese, who taught science from 1966-95.
"This is some pretty distinguished company," Almes said while thanking those in attendance for the honor. "But there is a lot of room left on this wall."
Dr. Almes encouraged the current faculty members to continue to work hard and fulfill their call as faculty members and as Christians.
No only did the department induct Dr. Almes into its Hall of Honor, but the group also remodeled his favorite classroom, affectionately termed "the closet" for its small size, turning it into the Dr. Philip C. Almes Conference Room. A plaque with a picture of Dr. Almes teaching in the room hangs by the entry. It reads, in part:
"…his teaching was based on more than theorems, formulas and equations as he strived to impress upon students the importance of integrating their faith with their education."
It's a standard by which he lives.

- Name: Gabor Szabo
- Project Title: Integrating Padre with Parrot and Rakudo
- Synopsis: Embedding Parrot to be used by Padre for syntax highlighting Perl 6 or any other language defined over Parrot or Perl 6.
Gabor Szabo
Project Title:
Integrating Padre with Parrot and Rakudo
Embedding Parrot to be used by Padre for syntax highlighting Perl 6 or any other language defined over Parrot or Perl 6.
Benefits to the Perl Community:
Provide a text editor with syntax highlighting of Perl 6 that can be tweaked in Perl 6.
Having a text editor that can be extended in any of the languages that run on Parrot, including Perl 6 will allow call-tips, auto-completion and introspection to be supplied by the respective languages.
Sam Vilain wrote in his blog: ( http://vilain.net/index.php?q=node/69 by ) Allow support syntax highlighting, by attaching highlighting hints to a TGE grammar, effectively allowing you to write a parsing grammar at the same time as a highlighting mode
Effectively Padre will become a text editor and IDE that "runs on Parrot".
It can become one of the first customer facing applications running partially on Rakudo Perl 6.
- Embedding Parrot in Padre using Parrot::Embed that lives in the ext/ directory of Parrot.
- Simple Padre plug-in running on PIR and on Perl 6.
- Syntax highlighting for PIR and Perl 6 using Parrot.
- Call-tips showing optional parameters of a subroutines.
- Integrated help for Perl 6 displaying help relevant to the code currently under the cursor.
Project Details:
There is a Perl 6 syntax highlighter in the Pugs directory in pugs/src/perl6/STD_syntax_highlight written in Perl 5. First I'll attempt to create an add-on for Padre using this as syntax highlighter. As this code depends on perl 5.10 and I don't want to make 5.10 a dependency of Padre yet I'll write this as a plug-in of Padre so people can install if they already have 5.10.
As I was writing this proposal I have just managed to embed Parrot in Padre and write a simple plug-in in PIR, that runs on the embedded Parrot engine. This gives a good base to start off with the rest of the project.
A large part of the work will require help from the Parrot and Perl 6 design and development teams. For example Parrot::Embed will have to be further extended to support multiple namespaces and better interaction between the host Perl 5 and Parrot.
The call-tips for Perl 5 were added as a yaml file so they can easily decoupled from Padre and used by other projects. For Perl 6 this needs to be either a yaml file or integrated into Perl 6 making sure that we can have call-tips in several languages.
Project Schedule:
I plan to begin the project immediately and finish it within 3 months.
Gabor Szabo has been programming Perl since 1995 and teaching it since 2000. He has several modules on CPAN and has contributed to many other modules. Gabor is the primary author of Padre.

Prevention is always better than cure. For some instance, fever caused by coughs and colds are not prevented due to seasons change and bad weather temperatures. But if you have a strong and healthy immune system the treatment is fast.
Here are some tips to prevent from having a fever. And also good to treat your fever. I apply this practice for myself and is very helpful to my kids as well, with or without a fever.
Drink plenty of fluids, is always the doctors advice. Warm or hot drinks like peppermint and chamomile tea added with some honey and lemon works wonder. On winter days, I always serve soups every meal.
Have a steam shower to moisturize and clean the nasals from irritation, and a good way to warm your body. When colds and coughs strikes, I add a few drops of essential oils like eucalyptus oils to the hot tubs to soothes and benefits the aromatherapy.
Supplement your body with vitamin C and zinc rich fruits and vegetables. You can have it fresh cuts or blended. I preferred blended fruits and vegetables to ensure I got all the essential fruits to have everyday. And it's much easier to sip juice and smoothies on soared throat.
Be sure to gurgle and wash your hands every time you arrived home from work or school. This is the number one rule I implemented to my family.
I always have humidifier at home especially on dry weather. This is to add moisture to the air to soothe sinuses and helps easy breathing at night while sleeping.
Lastly, I make sure our home is clean, dust and bacteria free from allergies. A sanitized home is the best prevention we can do to keep away from viruses that is floating in the air. Having an air purifier is the best decision I ever had to help me fight against allergies causing fever.
Be the best doctor for your family, secure your family from getting ill. When kids gets sick all the family members are likely to catch the disease.Read More

The Washington Post reported that on June 17, the Geneva-based Medicines Patent Pool kicked off an initiative in conjunction with other agencies to encourage major drug companies to manufacture and distribute HIV drugs in the correct formulation for children. While the United States has nearly eliminated pediatric HIV through the use of drugs for pregnant women, Medicines Patent Pool Executive Director Greg Perry notes that fewer than 25 percent of the 3.4 million children with HIV/AIDS globally -- most living in sub-Saharan Africa -- are receiving the antiretroviral therapy they need. The pills often are too big for small children, have an unpleasant taste, and contain alcohol. Joining in the initiative are UNITAID and the Drugs for Neglected Diseases Initiative. Drug manufacturers Gilead and Bristol-Myers Squibb have agreed to share knowledge, and the initiative is in talks with Merck and AbbVie.

The Phils' bullpen blew another game in extra-innings as the Phils fall to the Braves, 6-3.
Lack of offensive punch, and a bullpen implosion in the eleventh inning, leads to another lost as the Phils drop one to the Braves in eleven innings, 6-3. They are once again trailing the Braves by five games in the NL East.
The Braves took the lead in the top of the first as, with the bases loaded, via singles to Martin Prado and Omar Infante and a walk to Chipper Jones, which moved both Prado and Infante up a base, and with nobody out, Troy Glaus hits into a doubleplay, 4-3, allowing Prado to score from third, as Jones was wiped out at second, to give the Braves a 1-0 lead, while Infante moved up to third. The Phils took the lead in their half of the first as, with one man on, and with one man out, Raul Ibanez hits a two-run home run, his seventh home run of the year, scoring Jimmy Rollins, who had earlier walked, and then stole second base as Shane Victorino struck out, to give the Phils a 2-1 lead. The Braves tied the game up at two-all in the fourth as, with a runner on second, and with two men out, David Ross hits an RBI single, knocking in Matt Diaz, who had just doubled. The Braves took the lead in the eighth as, with two men out, Prado hits a solo home run, his tenth home run of the season, to give the Braves a 3-2 lead. The Phils came back to tie it up at three-all in their half of the seventh as, with a runner on first, and with nobody out, Ryan Howard hits an RBI triple, just missing a home run, knocking in Ibanez, who had earlier walked. The Phils then blew an opportunity to take the lead with a runner on third, and nobody out, as Jayson Werth is called out on strikes for the inning's first out, then pinch hitter Ben Francisco hits a fly ball to center which is not deep enough to score Howard from third for the second out of the inning, and then Wilson Valdez grounded out, 5-3, on a sensational play by Jones, to end the inning. The Braves then took the lead for good in the eleventh as, with a runner on base, and with nobody out, Diaz hits an RBI double, scoring Yunel Escobar, who had earlier singled, to make it a 4-3 Braves' lead. Three batters later, with a runner on second, and with two men out, Erick Hinske hits a two-run home run, his sixth home run of the season, scoring Diaz, to give the Braves a 6-3 lead. That would be the final score as Billy Wagner records his eighteen save of the year by getting Ibanez to strike out with a man on second base, for the game's final out.
Cole Hamels received a no-decision as he went seven innings, giving up three runs on eight hits and two walks, while striking out eight. Jose Contreras pitches two-thirds of an inning, giving up two hits. J.C. Romero pitches a third of an inning, getting out the only man whom he would face. Brad Lidge pitches a scoreless inning, striking out two. David Herndon took the lost as he pitches an inning, plus two batters, giving up two runs on two hits. His record is now 0-2 with a 4.08 ERA. Mike Zagurski pitches an inning, giving up a run on one hit, while striking out three. Jair Jurrjens also receives a no-decision, as he pitches six innings, plus two batters, giving up three runs on two hits and three walks, while striking out four. Peter Moylan pitches a third of an inning, striking out the only man whom he would face. Jonny Venters pitches two-thirds of an inning, getting out both men whom he would face. Takashi Saito and Eric O'Flaherty combined for two scoreless innings, striking out a batter between them (O'Flaherty). Jesse Chavez gets the win as he pitches a scoreless inning, walking a batter. His record is now 1-1 with a 5.63 ERA. Billy Wagner records his eighteenth save of the year as he also pitches a scoreless inning, giving up a hit, while striking out a batter.
The Phils had only three hits in the game, a two-run home run by Raul Ibanez, an RBI triple by Ryan Howard and a single by Shane Victorino. The Phils hurt themselves last night by not being more patient at the plate, after getting Jurrjens pitch count up to 28 pitches in the very first inning. This seems to be their major problem. Although they were called an American League team early in the season, they have a bad habit to not act like an AL team, i.e. show patient at the plate, and especially not swing at the pitcher's junk. Of course, some of the key cogs in their hitting machine is out of commission, but that is still no excuse for the piss poor way they are playing right now. Guys, if you are going to try to run up the pitcher's pitch count, stop swinging at the first and/or second pitch he throws at you. Wear him out. Sheesh. Is that too much to ask for?
The Phils (43-39, 3rd) will conclude their series with the Braves (49-35, 1st) with a night game tonight. The game will be played at Citizens Bank Park and will start at 7:05 pm Eastern. The Phils will send to the mound Jamie Moyer (9-7, 4.13), who is coming off a lost against the Pirates on July 2, as he pitched six innings, giving up two runs, only one of which was earned, on five hits and two walks, while he struck out eight, in the Phils' 2-0 lost. In his last three starts, he is 2-1, as he pitched twenty-one innings, giving up five runs, only four of which were earned, on thirteen hits and three walks, while he struck out twenty. He will be going for his tenth win of the season, hoping that the Phils' bats will actually hit behind him. The Braves will counter with Kris Medlen (5-1, 3.01), who is coming off a no-decision against the Marlins on July 2, as he pitched six and a third innings, giving up a run on six hits and a walk, while he struck out five, in the Braves' 4-3 win. In his last three starts, he is 1-0 with two no-decisions, as he pitched nineteen and one-third innings, giving up six runs, five of which were earned, on seventeen hits and four walks, while he struck out fifteen. He will be going for his sixth win of the year. The Phils will be going for the series win, to put themselves four games behind the Braves in the pennant chase.

The Price of TheftMarch 19, 2004
The relative ease of stealing someone else's CSS-based design has been at the top of my radar over the past few weeks. I really don't have the time to write the analysis I'd like to, but suffice it to say that nobody wants this issue to go away more than me, and no one realizes yet how much of a problem this is going to become over the next few months/years.
What I want to draw your attention to is that, due to a few reasons revolving around re-use of his design, Andy Budd has asked me to remove his popular 'sub:lime' design from the CSS Zen Garden, the former #046. I have complied.
Andy's feelings surrounding re-use of his work have been voiced by more than one contributor, and while many are open about allowing others to modify their base design, some are not. There definitely seems to be a price to the success we're enjoying, and because there are so many contributors, each one is going to have a different attitude toward paying that price. Which is to be expected, but I have no idea how to cope when I'm caught squarely in the middle.
I'm not at all happy that this was necessary though. It's the start of a slippery slope, and it's going to cause me to re-write submission requirements yet again. I've been very sensitive toward each designer's needs throughout all this, but I now understand quite a bit better why contest organizers and media promoters require participants to sign waivers.
There's a balance here, but I'm having trouble finding it. The Garden has to be open, which means a small percentage of bad eggs will abuse that openness. The designer's rights have to be protected, but I don't think it's quite fair to the rest of us for one to ride the success for a while and back out when it gets messy.
Lest we all walk away from this with a bitter taste in our mouths, I'd like to note that while I am incredibly disappointed in those re-using his work in commercial situations, I'm not angry at Andy himself. He has made a decision for his own work that, given the terms when he submitted, I guess he's allowed to make.
But I would like to encourage him and others to realize three things. A more restrictive license won't stop any of this from happening, since those who set out to rip off others' work will do it regardless of copyright. And running away from the problem isn't the solution, because when you're producing design work, it will get ripped off sooner or later. Trying to hide it under lock and key deprives the rightful audience, it takes money out of your pocket (how can you make a living off of design work that nobody sees?) and it leads to the scary groupthink of the music industry. A slippery slope indeed.
Finally, the group of people seeing a design who then decide to steal it are really rather small. Don't be fooled by the blind spot — for every 1 person who steals your work, 15 or 90 or 700 others have seen it and been inspired to create new and fresh work of their own. You may not ever hear from them, but they're out there, and they're the ones who suffer for it.
Don't let the bastards bring you down. They can steal one of your works, but they can't steal your soul. Keep on creating because there's only one you, and the world is dimmer without your creative energy.

Concurrency Can Be Deterministic (But The Type System Doesn't Know It)
There was an interesting article posted last night on the GHC blog on the matter of concurrency and parallelism. Several commenters seem to have taken issue with the definitions of concurrency and parallelism used in the article. I think they are absolutely fine (and standard), and I found little in the article to disagree with.
One thing I do disagree with is the idea that "if all we want to do is make programs run faster on a multicore, concurrency should be a last resort" — I aim in this blog to show that concurrent programming can be straightforward and elegant. Concurrency is not something to be afraid of. On similar lines of disagreement, I also think that concurrency is useful for more than the applications listed there. My boids example does not seem to fit the applications for concurrency mentioned in the article, but I think that reasoning about the boids (or indeed, any simultation agents) as self-contained stateful processes with an outside interface is easier than thinking about them in an iterative-functional way (e.g. as a list of boid states that need an update function applied to them). Your opinion may differ.
Regardless of such disagreements, the article also made a good point about types which I would like to expand on, and relate to CHP. One of the great advantages of Haskell is its type system. The difference between a -> IO a and a -> a is huge and vital. A large part of Haskell's strength comes from showing this difference in the type, using the type-system to reason about it — which allows type-checker to prevent mis-uses. The article's author points out that pure functions run in parallel are guaranteed to be deterministic — which means they retain their pure type. So bigExpensiveComputation has the type a -> a, regardless of whether it's calculated sequentially or in parallel (this difference becomes a run-time detail). So the determinism of the algorithm involved has remained captured at the type-level, if you use parallel annotations.
So how does this relate to CHP? With semi-explicit parallelism annotations (par, pseq, strategies and the rest), you can create a parMap function, with the same type as map, that does all the evaluations in parallel (say, to RNF using the NFData type-class):
parMap:: NFData b => (a -> b) -> [a] -> [b]
Anything that can be evaluated in parallel using Haskell's parallelism can also be evaluated in parallel using Haskell's concurrency. Here's a complete CHP implementation of parMap:
parMap :: NFData b => (a -> b) -> [a] -> CHP [b] parMap f xs = do cs <- replicateM (length xs) oneToOneChannel liftM snd $ (runParallel $ map (uncurry writeChannelStrict) (zip (writers cs) (map f xs))) <||> mapM readChannel (readers cs)
It may have slightly higher run-time overheads, but semantically and operationally the effect is exactly as you'd expect (map, but in parallel) and it is just as deterministic as the deterministic parallel version based on strategies (if there are no bottoms involved). So what's different? The type. My version acts in the CHP monad, whereas the original was pure. They are both deterministic but the CHP version no longer reveals that in the type — it is indistinguishable from any non-deterministic or deadlocking process that can exist in the full message-passing system of CHP.
So it seems that is the real strength of Haskell's parallelism over concurrency: the type system knows/shows that the parallel annotations produce deterministic code, whereas the concurrent version does not share that advantage. And without a model checker in the type system (!), I suspect it may not be possible to fix that.

It seems that much of this is a problem of ambiguous and incomplete naming conventions that mean different things to different people. Perhaps also the kinds of problems that lend themselves to "doing more than one thing at a time" are not yet fully understood or categorized. We may therefore have solutions without understanding the kinds of problems they are best at solving.
"Concurrent" is a good word to describe in English the idea of "doing more than one thing at a time". Parallel is borrowed from geometry, and to me seems like it should be complemented with other descriptors, like askew, orthogonal, etc. All of which could be subsumed under the moniker of "concurrent". Perhaps if we can give better mathematical metaphors for the kinds of problems we wish to solve we can discuss them with less ambiguity and conflict.

When you hear "broken leg" in a preseason game, it's normal to expect the worst.
But Giants running back Andre Brown called his "a tiny little crack," and said he didn't think he'd miss much time at all.
"No, I would love to stay active," Brown said, via Ebenezer Samuel of the New York Daily News. "That's how I feel. I feel I can come back from this … in a couple weeks."
That was a brighter prognosis than coach Tom Coughlin offered, when he said he thought it would "take a while" for Brown to return.
Brown broke the fibula in the same left leg last November, and he said the immediate feeling was much different then.
"I didn't feel any pop or anything like that," Brown said, "so that's definitely a positive. . . .
"You guys that have been around here have seen me go through stuff like this and [be] a little down. But this time I'm not. I'm positive."
Of course, the bigger question might be why he was playing at all, when so many teams shelved anyone of remote importance for the final preseason game. Coughlin said the plan was to get a few snaps to a starting offense which had struggled, and he had a prescribed number of plays for Brown.
Now the Giants are without the more physical half of their rushing attack, leaving David Wilson to carry more of the burden himself.
