Brunswick routs Hopkins
NEW HAVEN -- Billy O'Malley threw for a score and ran for two more, leading Brunswick to a 42-14 road win over Hopkins on Saturday. The win keeps Brunswick's title bowl hopes alive as they host Berkshire next Saturday in the season finale.
Brunswick (6-1) got off to a quick start scoring on its third play from scrimmage when Jason Kennedy ran three yards for a touchdown. Brunswick never looked back, holding the lead the entire game.
After Kennedy punched in the score, Hopkins drove almost 80 yards down to the Bruins 1-yard line. On the next play, Hopkins quarterback Quinn Ferguson collided with one of his running backs, fumbling the ball forward into the end zone as Brunswick recovered for a touchback.
"We weren't getting a lot of momentum going with our team and I think (the fumble) really turned things around for us," Bruins coach Jarrett Shine said.
Hilltoppers coach Tom Parr felt the one play didn't change things much in his mind.
"I don't know if that was the difference in the game," said Parr, whose team fell to 2-4. "So I don't think that was a major turning point, but it certainly would have been nice to get that in but there's nothing we can do about that now."
Facing a third-and-10 from the 20, the Bruins dialed up a vertical route for senior Henry Taylor. O'Malley hit him perfectly in stride and Taylor sprinted to the end zone to put Brunswick up 14-0.
"The offensive line did a great job giving me time to look at the field," O'Malley said. "I got to look at my whole progression and I saw Henry on my final read. Henry ran a great route and had a step on him. I have so much confidence that I can throw it up and he'll bring it down. "
After Hopkins closed to 14-7, Brunswick scored 14 unanswered points on touchdown runs by O'Malley and J.D. Donahey. Hopkins lost a fumble for the second time, giving the Bruins a chance to put the game away just before halftime. Brunswick capitalized when Donahey pounded his way in for his second score of the game.
The Bruins relentless offensive attack, which had success on the ground and in the air, was too much for Hopkins.
"They are a really great and skilled football team," Parr said. "They run their offense so well, it doesn't take them many plays to score. They can go vertical down the field, they make the field wider, they make it deeper, and spread you out. They just have very good skill players."
With their sixth straight win, Brunswick is on the verge of reaching a NEPSAC bowl game.
"Hopefully we can have that dream of getting to that final game," Shine said. "We just have to focus next week."
O'Malley knows the Bruins can't get excited yet.
"We can't look ahead," he said. "We have to focus on Berkshire, they are a very good team. Hopefully it will all work out and we reach our ultimate goal."

Paisley, LL Cool J Stand by 'Accidental Racist'
(NEW YORK) -- It only took a few hours for a six-minute song about race to spark a backlash after its release Monday.
The song, recorded by the unlikely duo of Brad Paisley and LL Cool J and titled "Accidental Racist," was slammed by music critics and fans alike for its attempt at a dialogue on race between two men from starkly different backgrounds. The song features lyrics including "If you don't judge my do-rag … I won't judge your red flag" and "If you don't judge my gold chains … I'll forget the iron chains."
The country singer, 40, and his rapper counterpart, 45, say the national debate sparked by their song, released on Paisley's new album, Wheelhouse, is exactly what they wanted to happen.
"I'm not really sure we're going to find any answers but it was the idea that we were asking the question," Paisley said in an exclusive interview with his duet partner that aired Wednesday on ABC's Good Morning America.
"Martin Luther King says that darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can," LL Cool J said. "Hate can't drive out hate, only love can. So what we're talking about is compassion."
"Accidental Racist" focuses specifically on how northerners like LL Cool J, who grew up in New York City, view southerners, like Paisley, a native of West Virginia, and vice versa.
"I'm not advising anyone to truly forget slavery, but what I'm saying is forget the slavery mentality," LL Cool J said. "Forget the bitterness. Don't get bitter, get better."
Critics have been especially harsh on specific lines in the song, like LL Cool J singing "let bygones be bygones," and Paisley singing that white Americans are "still paying for mistakes that a bunch of folks made before we came."
"Some people take exception to some of the lyrics [and] I respect that," LL Cool J said. "I'm sensitive to that."
Paisley, for one, found out about the controversy from LL Cool J, who alerted him to the backlash after the video, in which LL Cool J plays a barista, was released on YouTube Monday.
"I got a call from this guy saying, 'Have you seen anything?'" Paisley said, adding that LL Cool J went on to tell him to look at Twitter. "I was like, 'No, I don't want to look at it.'"
Despite the backlash, the two stars, who will sing together again on LL Cool J's next album, to be released later this month, say they are proud of the song and the discussion it is creating.
"Let's not be victims of things that happened so long ago," Paisley said. "In the end, I felt like what we had on tape was something that people needed to hear."
LL Cool J said, "At the same time, let's respect it. But then after we respect it, let's also open our hearts up so we can move forward."

State humanities councils and partnerships, 2013
"How can we model the behavior we seek to inspire? Do our boards, staff and volunteers reflect the diversity of the communities we serve? How can we be more inclusive?"
In the January 2013 newsletter, Federal/State Partnership announced that each issue of the newsletter through October would address issues raised by the theme of the November 2013 Federation of State Humanities Councils conference in Birmingham, Alabama. The primary source for these surveys is the contextual section of councils' self-assessment report. We will use examples from all 56 state and jurisdictional humanities councils in this series. This article first appeared in the June 2013 newsletter. Links to all the articles will be attached to the lead article to the series as they appear in the newsletter. Each will also be posted as a separate article in the Resource Library.
A printable pdf of this article is available here.
One of the ways councils expand their spheres of inclusion is through partnerships with public and private institutions and organizations. As David Tebaldi, executive director of Mass Humanities, notes, "A small organization with an ambitious statewide agenda needs friends."
Councils around the country work with colleges and universities, school districts, and social service agencies. The Hawai'i Council for the Humanities' Motheread/Fatheread program is the only family education program of the Hawai'i Paroling Authority and the Vermont Humanities Council's "Connections" program brings reading and discussion to underserved adults, some of whom are incarcerated. The Kansas Humanities Council and the Wichita-Sedgwick County Historical Museum have partnered to conduct 20 interviews with Boeing machinists, engineers, and office staff, as well as Wichita community members and city officials, on the eve of the plant's departure from the "Air Capital of the World." With its "Constitutionally Speaking" initiative, the New Hampshire Humanities Council is partnering with the New Hampshire Supreme Court Society, the University of New Hampshire School of Law, and the soon-to-be created New Hampshire Institute for Civic Education. One of the more unusual collaborations was that which Indiana Humanities had with the host committee for the 2012 Super Bowl. Its involvement achieved it mention in the New York Times.
WAMC-Northeast Public Radio produces a radio show, Ideas Matter: Checking in with the Public Humanities in collaboration with Mass Humanities, the New York Council for the Humanities, the Vermont Humanities Council, the New Hampshire Humanities Council, Connecticut Humanities, the Pennsylvania Humanities Council, and the New Jersey Council for the Humanities.
The Minnesota Humanities Center is part of a statewide consortium of agencies that includes the Minnesota Indian Affairs Council, the Council on Black Minnesotans, the Chicano Latino Affairs Council, and the Council on Asian Pacific Minnesotans.
With all their partnerships and collaborations, state humanities councils demonstrate the vitality and significance of the humanities to people and organizations that might not otherwise recognize how embedded the humanities indeed are in their lives and communities. Through their partnerships, state humanities councils vastly broaden the reach of the National Endowment for the Humanities. The examples in this article are only that. They serve to illuminate the universe of creative ways councils bore deep inside their states and communities to leverage friends, funds, and influence for the humanities. That these partnerships exist shows the power of councils to convince people of the importance and day-to-day relevance of the humanities.
- Mass Humanities furthers its core mission, engaging new audiences for the humanities, through collaborations and partnerships. Since 1998, it has received its state funding through the Massachusetts Cultural Council. It has ongoing relationships with four of the six University of Massachusetts campuses. Other partners include the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners, Boston College, the American Antiquarian Society, Harvard Law School, the Massachusetts Center for the Book, and the National Park Service. Programs that benefit from these collaborations include the Clemente Course, the annual Massachusetts History Conference, Family Adventures in Reading, Literature & Medicine, and Reading Frederick Douglass.
- The Missouri Humanities Council does "nothing without partners," according to executive director Geoff Giglierano. With the State Historical Society, it sponsors the speakers bureau and History Day. It hosts summer teacher workshops with the Mark Twain Boyhood Home and Museum. MHC holds creative writing workshops for veterans, presented with the Jefferson Barracks VA medical facility and Warriors Arts Alliance, and it partners with Warriors Arts and Southeast Missouri State University Press in the annual veterans' writing competition and anthology, Proud to Be. It is a founding partner of the St. Louis Humanities Festival. MHC also partners with the arts council, state libraries, public broadcasting, and historic preservation.
- On its website, Indiana Humanities has a page devoted to its partners, listed by program. These partners include businesses, educational institutions, museums, community leadership groups, the Indiana State Library, the Farm Bureau, and the Indiana State Fair. It jointly sponsored the sell-out "Evening with Anthony Bourdain and Eric Ripert" with the Spirit and Place Festival. Two two-year initiatives, Food for Thought and The Spirit of Competition, have served as "big umbrellas" to engage a variety of organizations. The Spirit of Competition launched while Indianapolis was host to the Super Bowl and brought Indiana Humanities into the middle of those festivities.
- Partnerships and Collaboration is one of the Hawai'i Council for the Humanities' major strategic goals and it facilitates up to twenty such efforts annually through its dedicated partnerships program. Many of these programs reach statewide and several are becoming on-going projects. HCH's public visibility has markedly increased because it is seen as being part of the programs rather than merely one of the funders. Partnerships have also greatly enhanced its networking capacity within the public humanities and educational communities. A long-standing major partnership is with the Hawai'i Book and Music Festival where HCH hosts a pavilion. It also partners with the Hawai'i International Film Festival and with Hawai'i Public Broadcasting.
- The Virginia Foundation for the Humanities partners with all major state cultural entities including the Library of Virginia, the Virginia Historical Society, the eleven Virginia Indian tribes, the Virginia Association of Museums, the State Council of Higher Education, and public and private colleges and universities. It works with such state departments as Education, Historic Resources, Social Services, Natural Resources, the Office of the Governor, the General Assembly, the MLK, Jr. Memorial Commission, the Tourism Corporation, and the Commission for the Arts. Partners include all NPR and PBS stations and corporate media. A nonprofit, VFH is a University of Virginia center. Virginia Africana is one of several consortia VFH has initiated.
- The Idaho Humanities Council has mutually beneficial partnerships with several state agencies, the longest standing being with the Commission for Libraries for the "Let's Talk About It" program. In return for IHC's support of the statewide broadcast of American Experience and American Masters on Idaho Public Television, it receives underwriting credits before and after each program and free promotion of its sponsored public events. IPTV has made IHC a free promotional video. A collaboration with the Idaho Historical Society supports teacher workshops and a traveling exhibit program. IHC, the State Historical Society, and the Idaho Heritage Trust sponsor an annual award to a small museum for outstanding interpretation of local history.
- The Arkansas Humanities Council's partnership with the Central Arkansas Library System provides it office space in the Arkansas Studies Institute, a community that includes the Butler Center Archives, the University of Arkansas at Little Rock archives and public history program, the Clinton School of Public Service, and the Oxford American literary magazine. It manages the Education Minigrant program for the Winthrop Rockefeller Foundation, and administers both the Arkansas Heritage Grant and the Small Museum Grant programs for the Department of Arkansas Heritage. The Clinton Presidential Library is a welcome new partner, hosting teacher workshops and public events as well as participating in special grant initiatives.

This year, behavioral ecologist Martin Wikelski followed cuckoos from Denmark to the Democratic Republic of the Congo; flew alongside ducks from Sweden and Germany; measured the heart rate of golden-collard manakins in Panama; took a motorcycle across the Alps to shadow songbirds; tracked mountain trangopans and blood pheasants in Bhutan; and—what may be most impressive—precisely measured a mass migration of bumblebees in Germany. He also tracked gulls from Russia to Tanzania, blackbirds from France to Spain, storks from Spain to the Sahel desert, and giant tortoises in the Galápagos. Wikelski is a man on the move. But then, so are his subjects. Wikelski tracks animal migrations, which were not—until recently—sufficiently studied or much understood. The impact of this research is astonishing. If we can begin to understand these mass movements, we can better predict weather patterns and natural disasters like earthquakes and tsunamis. We can also become better stewards of our wild spaces, protecting corridors so that these animals on the move can stay that way. Wikelski explains.
—By Ryan Bradley
By Martin Wikelski
"Oh, You're Crazy."
What I do is called wildlife telemetry. I attach very small radios to animals to find out how expensive migrations are, how much energy is consumed to get from here to there. When I tell people what I do—scientists included—they say "oh, you're crazy, you can never get this done." But we're only beginning to realize the power of following small animals.
Night Moves
I was recently following Noctule bats in Poland. Bat migration is notoriously difficult to track. We were flying through what's got to be the only old growth forest in Europe, in eastern Poland. We bought little bicycle lights for the runway and used a huge grass field about 15 miles from the Belarus border. The bats were flying fast—65-70 kilometers an hour—and I'm there with them, along the border, when all of a sudden I've got spotlights on me from the Belarussian Air Defence. I think they were nervous …
Airborne Scavenger Hunt
In Ghana, we were tracking flying foxes, which can help us trace and predict the spread of diseases like Ebola. These bats are huge—a wingspan of 80 centimeters—and the most numerous animal in Africa, after humans. There are a million flying foxes in Accra alone. But no one knows where they go half the year. So we rented Cessnas in Accra and just crisscrossed the country looking for bats.
Predictive Behavior
The next step is to go and predict disasters. What's happening when dogs run away from an earthquake and tsunami? In Italy, toads predicted an earthquake five days before it happened—they were jumping out of ponds at a time when they should have been in them. The grand idea is to have a global observation system to allow us to link to life on the planet, to use animals as sentinels for our own well-being.

(AP) — Ridership on regional Amtrak routes to and from Chicago increased by more than 3 percent in the fiscal year that ended Sept. 30, as the rail service hit record passenger levels nationally.
More than 2.5 million people traveled on regional routes between Chicago and the cities of St. Louis, Milwaukee and Detroit, as well as Carbondale in southern Illinois and Quincy in the western part of the state.
The biggest increase was on the Chicago-to-St. Louis route. That line had 655,000 riders in fiscal 2013 — a jump of nearly 10 percent. Amtrak began an initial section of faster, 110 mph service on that line last November.
Ticket revenue on the five routes rose to $67 million. That's an increase of nearly 9 percent from the previous fiscal year.
The news comes a few days after word that Illinois has agreed to spend an additional $9 million to support Amtrak service in the state.

The next idea is about exploring the map. The normal AoK's system is clear, if your move your unit, it leaves a trail of explored land behind it-self which is then covered in fog of war if there's no unit around.
If my scout moves too far from last settlement (let's say 512 tiles far) he won't leave any FoW trail anymore until he safely returns. Then his path will reveal the explored land he scouted. If he dies the exploration dies with him. So when sending scout on long journeys give him a supply cart or some gold and hope he will find some village to buy food.
If you find out you were scouted you can send cavalery after the spy and secure your location stays secret. Or if you know the spy left west and there is only one bridge on the river west, you can wait for him there.

Data: 4-year-olds get suspended
More than 8,000 toddlers in the U.S. were suspended from preschool at least once during the 2011 school year, new data from the U.S. Department of Education show — a small but significant number, experts say, because preschool students shouldn't be sent home from school at all.
The stat is part of a flood of information from the Obama administration that examines race and equity issues in schools through dozens of data points, from pay for teachers in low-income schools to the percentage of black students taking AP calculus.
Story Continued Below
The department has so far released only its own analysis of the data, which includes information for nearly all of the 16,500 school districts nationwide. But even that preliminary analysis indicates the administration has a long way to go in moving the needle on some of its top education priorities, even on niche issues like expanding preschool and getting students to rise to the challenge of the Common Core academic standards.
( Also on POLITICO: Full education policy coverage)
The data "shines a clear, unbiased light" on which areas are and aren't delivering on equity in education, Education Secretary Arne Duncan said.
Some analysts weren't so confident that the data were illuminating. It "is cut in a way that hides as much as it reveals," said Daria Hall, director of K-12 policy development at The Education Trust. Districts of different sizes and demographics are lumped together and all the many statistics are rounded.
The expanded Office for Civil Rights data collection is part of a broader civil rights push from the Obama administration that began in 2010, when Duncan announced he would ramp up its investigations of civil rights complaints in the states and take steps such as issuing guidance letters to schools on how to handle civil rights issues. Earlier this year, one of those letters focused on preventing racially discriminatory suspensions and expulsions.
"The hard truth is that, in the last decade, the Office for Civil Rights has not been as vigilant as it should have been in combating gender and racial discrimination and protecting the rights of individuals with disabilities," Duncan said during a 2010 speech in Selma, Ala., at the site of "Bloody Sunday," where civil rights marchers were beaten by state and local police in the '60s. "We are going to reinvigorate civil rights enforcement."
( Sign up for POLITICO's Morning Education tip sheet)
Gaping disparities in how school discipline has been meted out has long been a department focus, but the new data show that those racial gaps start early: Black children constitute 18 percent of all kids attending preschool but account for 48 percent of all students suspended more than once, the new data show.
Across K-12 schools, black students represented 16 percent of the student population but 42 percent suspended more than once in the 2011-12 school year.
Earlier studies have found that these high suspension rates for black students — males in particular — exist among older students as well, Yale associate professor Walter Gilliam said.
The race gap "was bad then, and it's bad now," Gilliam said. "You don't have to be able to split hairs to see how disproportionate it is." Gilliam's own research has found high expulsion rates among black preschoolers, but there has been little prior research on suspension.
Suspending young students is a controversial practice because 3- and 4-year-olds are unlikely to learn from that sort of discipline, said Laura Bornfreund, deputy director of early education at the think tank New America. For these children, "there's no connection between what kind of misbehavior a preschooler did in class to being suspended," so kids are unlikely to learn from their mistakes, she explained.
Advanced courses elusive for some
The data also reveal just how far states have to go to bring their curricula up to par with the Common Core and the Next Generation Science Standards.
Nationwide, at least 10 percent of high schools — and perhaps as many as 25 percent — fail to offer the complete sequence of core math and science classes: Algebra I and II, geometry, biology and chemistry.
More advanced courses are even harder to come by: Nationally, just half of all high schools offer calculus, and only 63 percent offer physics.
"This shows just how much work needs to get done," said Sandy Boyd, the chief operating officer of Achieve Inc., which helped write the Common Core.
"You need to give every student access to that content — otherwise, you're just not going to move the needle on student achievement," Boyd said.
She noted, too, that even when schools say they offer Algebra I or II, the content and rigor varies considerably from district to district and even class to class.
"Course titles don't matter — making sure kids get the full breadth and depth of the standards does," Boyd said. "Without access to quality courses that cover college and career-ready standards, students will continue to graduate unprepared for their next steps. And sadly, that will be through no fault of their own."
Minority students also had far less access to courses considered critical for college and career readiness.
Among high schools that serve the largest share of black and Latino students, 25 percent don't offer Algebra II and 33 percent don't offer chemistry. Black and Latino students are also considerably less likely than peers to take Advanced Placement classes.

That is something you'll have to discuss with the TLN admins.
Well I'm not really sure. You had to either apply or be approached by an admin. Right now there isn't really a need for us Mods yet but I have a feeling there will be some trolls in the near future...

DescriptionFollowing the defeat of the evil Krill in Enchanter, the intrepid apprentice has become a full member of the Circle, under the command of the famed Necromancer Belboz. Very soon, however, the hero notices that something strange has been happening to the master. He frequently talks to himself and seems to be under some sort of a malevolent influence - until one day, he is mysteriously kidnapped. Looks like the brave Enchanter must venture on a perilous journey once again, and bring back the leader of the Circle.
Sorcerer is a sequel to Enchanter, and is part of the Zork universe. Like its predecessors, it is a text adventure, in which the player interacts with the game world by typing combinations of verbs and objects. The spell system from the previous game is back; a new feature is the protagonist's ability to drink magical potions, which must be done sometimes in order to solve the game's puzzles.

TriviaWithin this game is the first appearance of the vicious Dorn beast, which chases you through the deadly glass maze trying to make tasty stew out of you.
The name of the beast, "Dorn," comes from the then current Infocom director of marketing, Mike Dornbrook. As is often the case, there was some degree of animosity between the people who write the games and the people who sell them. No one but the designers know what Mike did to be memorialized as a disgusting, greedy, slavering beast (who falls to his untimely death).

I think it is safe to say that the anti-bullying campaigns and the pink shirt days are not working. Once again we have a tormented teen who could only see one way out of her struggle and that was taking her own life. It is time to rethink how we are handling this whole "bullying" thing.
As a parent of two school-age children, I have a feeling that the definition of "bully" has been lost in translation. The kids and the education they receive about bullying still seems focused on specific types of interactions that they can easily define. This generally seems to cover the school yard tormentors and the push and shove matches between one bigger kid against a smaller kid. They get the physical aspect of bullying but not the mental part and especially not the cyber part.
My children are young and don't yet have phones so we are not dealing with texting issues yet. Nor do they have much of an online life apart from the Xbox Live system. This system we have carefully monitored to ensure their on-line safety when connecting with other players. I made a Facebook account for Adam, but so far I have been the one managing it. Therefore they have not witnessed or been subject to life altering bullying. Yet.
It does boggle me a bit, but I get the feeling that the institutions we entrust with our children from the ages of five to 17 do not understand and are not being trained to understand how developing children function together and how they now function with the added technology of cellphones and social media.
This idea came to me when my daughter was facing a bit of a dram at school last year. Her Best Friend Forever was moved to a different class when they were splitting them all up (never figured out all that logic). Both were devastated but figured they had recess and lunch and play dates, so they would survive.
A classmate of the BFF had other plans however, and worked very hard at pulling my daughter's BFF away from her. The school was witness to countless altercations between all three, to the point that a counsellor was brought in to "mediate" between them all.
The counsellor contacted me also and I was told that they were working on them all trying to be friends together. All girls thought this was a load of hooey and personally, so did I. If kids don't get along, they don't get along.
We teach our kids that they can't be friends with everyone, and to just be polite and avoid the ones that you don't consider your friends. I think the counsellors "let's all be friends" philosophy is what lays underneath many adults in authorities' views on dealing with bullying. It is outdated and quaint and avoids dealing with the true horror that progressive bullying and tormenting really is.
Their grasp of how devastating bullying can be when it reaches online is even more out of date and antiquated. My children have computer classes. They seem to play games and make printouts of pretty images. I am not sure where the "education" lies in all this. It would be nice if they were taught things like how to properly use Google, how to source online research, and perhaps as they get older, how to deal with online privacy.
In fact, after speaking to other parents, what seems to be needed is a "How To" for dealing with your tweens' and teens' online lives. We need to teach parents not only how to communicate with their children about the importance of online privacy but to also educate themselves in the technology and the tools that they can employ to ensure their children's cyber safety. From legalities to practicalities, parents need to know how to protect their children.
There is a gaping void of understanding between teens and adults, and lives are being lost because of it. I strongly doubt that any of Amanda Todd's tormentors would ever consider themselves a bully as it has been defined to them. I wonder how much actual guilt there is from those that stood by and let this happen. Why did Amanda feel so alone and what are we going to do about it?

Of all the visits Kony Ealy will be making to various NFL clubs over the next several weeks, the one to the St. Louis Rams Friday has to rank as a special one for the former Missouri defensive end.
And for the club, a unique one.
2014 NFL Draft Winds
College Football 24/7 takes a look at the rumors connecting draft prospects with NFL teams leading up to the 2014 NFL Draft.
» AFC East | North | South | West
» NFC East | North | South | West
» Tracking teams' interest in top prospects
For Ealy, it will more than likely seem like a childhood dream come true -- and not just to play in the NFL. As a St. Louis native, Ealy was a Rams fans as a child and hasn't been shy about saying how much he'd like to play there. For the Rams, it's a rare opportunity to not only host a prospect, but work him out, as well. According to stltoday.com, Ealy's visit doesn't count as one of the Rams' 30 allotted chances to host a player because Ealy lives locally. That reportedly means the club can work him out as well, which isn't permitted among the 30 "official" visitors. Given what Ealy accomplished at the NFL Scouting Combine and at his pro day, not much might be necessary in that department.
Ealy ran the best three-cone drill of any defensive lineman at the combine (6.83), and vastly improved his 40-yard dash time from the combine at Missouri's pro day. How Ealy might fit in the Rams' system, and what scenario would have to unfold for him to be chosen by St. Louis, are different questions entirely. With defensive ends Chris Long and Robert Quinn combining for 27.5 sacks last year, Ealy's role in a Rams uniform might be as more of an inside presence -- and he has the versatility to do that.
The Rams' first three choices in the draft are overall picks No. 2, 13 and 44. NFL Media analyst Bucky Brooks projects Ealy to be the No. 16 overall pick by the Cowboys, but Ealy is not currently in the first-round mocks of analysts Daniel Jeremiah and Charles Davis.

For those who may not frequent Facebook, we found out yesterday that we are having a healthy baby girl! Which means I got my wish! 4 times! And now we can be done. Very good news! No more morning sickness, exhaustion, or pregnancy brain! January 17, 2013 will bring the end of my human being manufacturing days. And the beginning of another round of ribbons and ruffles!
My sister-in-law posted about our beach week, which feels like ions ago, but it was really earlier this month! I guess a baptism, an ultrasound appointment and school starting are all pretty big deals that make beach week seem like another lifetime ago.
But it was tons of fun, as always! I love my family. And I love that my kids love them too. Click on this link (For a good chuckle at my expense, click to enlarge the kayak pictures of Travis and me and look at our faces. Note: I am not a risk taker. Getting in the kayak was way out of my comfort zone. For good reason, as you'll see. But it was fun, and I'm glad I did it):

Here's your daily link to Dave McKenna's brilliant "Cranky Redskins Fan's Guide to Dan Snyder," which we'll be posting until Snyder's dumbass libel suit is forced to publicly apologize to every last person it has wronged in the name of ego gloryholeification.
Today's topic: Animation. As in, wee lad Danny has kind of been quiet this week. I mean, there was that whole "trying to cut a draft-day deal with the Steelers" thing that got Steel City Football and CBS Sports's Eye On Football and Peter King and PFT and Chris Mortensen to falsely report Danny talked on Sirius radio about it. Or something.
That's fine. But it doesn't outrank taking another look at Taiwanese-animation masterpiece "Washington Redskins owner Dan Snyder is an asshole."
Please help the City Paper with a donation to the weekly's legal defense fund.

Only used for those who have transcended from mere douche, to a higher level of douchebaggery. Describes a person who doesn't just act like a douche, they live like it. Most can only obtain this infamous title after training for the better part of their lives in the ancient arts of Taekwondouche, passed down by the elder D-bag monks of the Appalachian Mountains. A Douchenheimer will most likely be offended if you refer to them as lowly douche, and correct you in the douchiest way possible, as to show off their talents. Once one reaches the rank of Douchenheimer he is gifted with a special collared shirt, reinforced with steel so there's no possible way for it to not be popped. The Douchenheimer is revered by douches, hated all.
Guy 1: Whoa...
Guy 2: What's wrong?
Guy 1: That... thing over there, what is it? I wanna call it a douche but...
Guy 2: I'm afraid that's no mere douche. It's... a Douchenheimer!

Conceited, dickish pervert with a penis that measures just .5 cm. Also defined as: Cocky trumpet player that masturbates daily, and enjoys public hand jobs.
My God, he is such a Douchenheimer (Sam). He made his girlfriend get him off in the back of the movie theater.

- How to Read a Study Record
Epigenetic modifications such as DNA-methylation and histone acetylation are known to be involved in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. Aim of the present study is to investigate
- whether differences in the methylation pattern of the promoters of dopaminergic genes exist between schizophrenic patients and healthy controls and
- whether treatment with the second generation antipsychotic quetiapine leads to changes in the methylation pattern of those genes in patients suffering from schizophrenia.
50 male patients and 50 male controls are to be enrolled into the study. Patients will be treated with quetiapine for 3 weeks. Blood samples will be drawn before treatment and after three weeks to measure DNA-methylation status. Clinical characterisation includes PANSS, AIMS, BDI. Healthy probands will not be treated.
|Condition or disease
|Drug: Quetiapine fumarate
|Phase 4
|Study Type :
|Interventional (Clinical Trial)
|Actual Enrollment :

Experimental: A
There is only one arm in this study. All probands receive quetiapine.
Drug: Quetiapine fumarate
Dosage and frequency are judged by the study physician. The dosage must not excess 800mg/d.
Other Name: Seroquel(R)
- Primary variable is the amount of methylated vs. unmethylated promoter specific DNA in the DAT gene of patients before and after treatment with quetiapine (within group comparison). [ Time Frame: 6 month ]

Mac@30 was January 25, 2014 Event. Flint Center 7:00 -11:00 pm
BEST Article yet: From ZD Net's Tom Foremski - Thank you. And this one SG news
Articles Jan 27: Mac Observer Macworld 1 and another Macworld 2
From the BBC Also from the United Kingdom - Mail-OnLine UK
Articles Sunday Jan26: C/Net Photos An article about the Dear Mac Closer
News.msn.com Here is Mac Rumors Treats C/Net on Burrell
Thank you to all those who came. Some clips are posted on the "day of the night' link above. Photos are getting posted here and on the 30th blog page.
Although we would have liked to have a lot more people, we are pleased that quality of the people there was better than focusing on quantity of attendees. Panelists were excellent, and the only regret was that there seems to never be enough time to hear stories like these.
One touching moment was at the end of the event, when three team members read a letter to the crowd. <Copy of Letter>
Thank you to all those who participated in the event.
APOLOGIES: There were two misspelled names in the program. One inexcusable: Jef Raskin - which was part of a free ad we ran and although it came to us that way only a couple of days before the event, it should have been caught. Chris Espinosa sorry about the 'z'!
COMMEMORATIVE POSTER MOSAIC Campaign - Go Here to Participate
MAC@30 Anniversary Celebration - Testimonial and Poster Campaign.
Mac Friends and Users! Please take a moment to share a story or memory about how your Macintosh took you to new creative heights, or let you do new things you never could on your old computer, or helped you write that first novel, or compose your first song, or whatever Mac-related story you want to share. If you have a Mac tale to tell, we want to hear from you.
Include a head-shot photo of yourself, we'll do our best to include your face to our one-of-a-kind Mac@30 celebration mosaic poster.
Commemorative poster swings into gear as the team photo was taken, which is part of the poster- along with your photo. Be sure to upload your poster and testimonial about the Mac at the poster site.
An evening celebrating the Original Macintosh Development team. Throughout the evening, there were clips of footage, in many cases never before seen, featuring some of the people who were being honored. The evening's first panel, Conception was moderated by John Markoff and features Daniel Kottke, Larry Tesler, Rod Holt, Jerry Manock, and Marc LeBrun.
The second Panel, The Birth of the Mac, was moderated by Steven Levy, and featured Bill Atkinson, Randy Wigginton, Andy Hertzfeld, Bruce Horn, Steve Capps, George Crow and Caroline Rose. The audience was able to hear first-hand stories from these panelists and others about the real stories behind the birth of the Macintosh.
Mike Markkula with the second panel acknowledged the original 1984 Mac Team's accomplishment, and then they all assembled on stage for an historic photo - just before the intermission.
In 1984, the world got the first glimpse of the Macintosh through the iconic "1984" TV ad. Steve Hayden, who headed the creative team, presented a brilliant talk about the original concept and the process of creation of the ad with Jobs, as well as speaking about the 'back story' and thoughts behind many other ads, some of which had not been seen before in public.
The third panel, the Coming of Age of Mac, was moderated by Dan Farber and features well known 3rd party developers like Charlie Jackson, Jim Rea, Heidi Roizen, Ty Roberts, David Bunnell, Marc Canter, Maryline Delbourg Delphis, Adam Hertz and Steve Jasik focusing on the software necessary for the Mac to gain critical mass.
Jan 27, 2014 Letter from Mark Peltzer - Production Supervisor/ Co-Producer
To Mac@30 Production Team:
On behalf of Gabreal and myself, I want to express our sincere appreciation and gratitude for your commitment and hard work in making this event possible. This was a labor of love; and the smiling faces, applause, and messages of appreciation that we have received are a testament to you as well.
This night celebrated a truly historic event in our collective culture that did change the world. It helped spread the knowledge of all people on this planet that it is possible to join the world community through the web and through their "insanely great" machines, whatever and wherever they may be. This was an evolutionary leap for our planet and our species. May it lead to a better world of understanding, cooperation and peace. You all should be proud of your participation in this celebration. I know I am.

Mac@30th Celebration to Gather the Who's Who Behind the Apple Macintosh Computer at Gala Evening on January 25
Event to help fund the next generation of technologists, young coders of the future through Coderdojo.com
Creative team behind iconic "1984" Apple commercial to be at event
Cupertino, Calif. – January 16, 2014 -- The original Mac development team who envisioned and built the first Apple Macintosh personal computer will headline the Mac30th Anniversary Celebration to commemorate the computer's historic 1984 launch. The gala event will gather the Who's Who – inventors, technologists, media and venture capitalists -- behind one of the most successful technology innovations.
Apple co-founder Steve Jobs unveiled the Macintosh on January 24, 1984 at Flint Center in Cupertino, California. Mac30th will be held at the same location.
"The Mac made the computer accessible to the average consumer and so opened the floodgates for a new generation of technology innovations," said Daniel Kottke, one of the original Macintosh developers. Small, affordable and easy to use, it ushered in a new era of information technology and global cultural change brought forth by technology. He said, "At the time, few outside the industry understood its wide-ranging implications; today, it's easy to look back and see the many ways this 'insanely great' little machine has transformed our world."
The celebration honors the men and women who created the Macintosh. Nearly all of the original development team -- including many of those whose signatures appear inside the case of the first production run -- will be on hand for a series of conversations about the computer's evolution from idea to product. Some will be on stage to reminisce about those early days and share an unprecedented collection of stories, photos and videos documenting the events that led to the release of that first Macintosh.
Kottke will co-host a panel with John Markoff of The New York Times and revisit the conception of the Macintosh and offer a rare glimpse into the seminal years -- including the push to define features and concepts and the emergence of the original development team.
Wired Magazine's Steven Levy takes a second panel through the technical obstacles that the team encountered as they developed innovative combinations of software and hardware and contended with short deadlines to meet shipping dates.
Dan Farber of CNET will host a third panel to talk about the Mac's coming of age, featuring early third-party developers recalling the innovative applications they created to serve a new platform and match the power of a new machine.
The world also got the first glimpse of the Macintosh through the iconic "1984" TV ad. Steve Hayden, who headed the creative team, will talk about the original concept and the process of creation of the ad with Jobs.
Event producers have assembled privately-held videos and stills documenting the events and personalities of those days, some of which have never been publicly screened.
Profits from Mac@30 will be donated to CoderDojo (www.coderdojo.com), an organization which helps youngsters develop the skills they need to write tomorrow's software and envision future technology.
Organizers have designed a colorful mosaic poster to commemorate the event. It features a picture of the first Mac, with headshots of the original team tiled across its display. The public is invited, at no charge, to submit their own photos to make up the rest of the image. Anecdotes and testimonials about individual experiences with the Macintosh are also welcome at the site. Information and image and text uploads are available at http://www.macintosh30th.com/posters/.
Mac aficionados are traveling from across the country and from as far away as Poland, South Africa, Spain, Canada and Australia for a chance to hear from the people who ushered in the era of modern computing -- and to be part of the Macintosh's ongoing history.
Tickets are available through Ticketmaster. Doors open at 6:00 p.m.; the event begins at 7:00 and runs until 10:30.

touched 10/27/18
We are sorry the ticketing was such a problematic, and so hard to get from Ticket Master. Also regret the venue did not allow people to just move forward, and was so rigid on people getting in their sections. They should have allowed people to gather up front, and be more intimate. The production team tried repeatedly to convince them.
Although Sir Ridley Scott cannot attend this evening, and sends his regrets, Steve Hayden and some of the team that conceived, wrote and designed the '1984' commercial will be presenting, including materials from the creation of the milestone commercial. Ridley wrote:
- 30 years ago! Extraordinary! I write to you from Spain where I am shooting my latest film BOOK OF EXODUS. We are not scheduled to complete filming until the end of January and so, unfortunately, it will not be possible to join you on the evening of January 25th.
It was an honour then to work with Steve Jobs and his team and I remain proud of the commercial to this day.
Thank you again for such a generous invitation and I am truly sorry not to be able to attend, to see you all, and join in this exciting anniversary.
I wish you very many congratulations and a very successful evening.
Yours sincerely,
Ridley Scott

Son denies molestation allegations against Franco Zeffirelli
MILAN (AP) — The son of Italian film director Franco Zeffirelli has issued a statement denying sexual molestation allegations against his father from actor Johnathon Schaech.
Pippo Zeffirelli said in the statement Thursday that the allegations appeared to be "a true and proper vendetta," and he questioned the timing of lodging them at a moment when the 94-year-old director is unable to defend himself because of his failing health.
Schaech wrote in People magazine that he was 22 years old when he went to work on the film "Sparrow" in 1992, and that Zeffirelli had tried to seduce him from the start. Then, while filming in Sicily, the actor said Zeffirelli got a key to his room and let himself in, molesting Schaech in his bed.
The allegation is part of a wave of sexual abuse allegations in Hollywood, media, politics, business and elsewhere that began in October when movie mogul Harvey Weinstein was accused of sexual misconduct by multiple women.
In his statement, Zeffirelli's son said that the director had given Schaech his first break, but that the young actor was furious when he decided to dub his voice because of a throat problem that had made it difficult for the actor to speak. That, Pippo Zeffirelli said, was the source of the vendetta.
The son's statement said Schaech has been in contact with the family in recent years, and inquired about the elderly director's health last month. About a week later, People magazine inquired about the accusations, he said.
Zeffirelli has been out of the public eye due to his poor health, failing to show up this summer for the opening of a foundation in his native Florence that honors his life's work as a theater and film director. His film credits include "Blue Lagoon" and "Tea With Mussolini." He was nominated for two Oscars, for best art direction for the 1983 film "La Traviata," and best director of "Romeo and Juliet" in 1968.

In this week's Newsweek – in the iPad and international editions only – I write (and speak, on video) about Roy Lichtenstein's career-spanning survey at the Art Institute of Chicago. I try to pull away from our usual concentration on the "fun" of his comic-book and pop-culture references, and emphasize his interest in the larger print-culture that continues to condition us.
His "BenDay" dots are my crucial evidence.
Lichtenstein's printer's dots never help him render a real scene and its colors, as Benjamin Day, their 19th-century inventor, intended them to. They aren't even true magnifications of the dot-field on a page in "Donald Duck" or "X-Men" – or, in this case, a nudie magazine. They float free of such specifics, as untethered symbols of a world derived from print. (They can also be unnerving, creating a dizzying optical dazzle that undermines the cheeriness we associate with this painter, and that maybe takes a dig at the power of print.)
Even in the series of comic-free paintings that riff on modern masters such as Picasso and Matisse, Lichtenstein's dots tell us, as he himself often said, that his cover-versions always derived from reproductions, rather than from his predecessors' original works. It's all about acknowledging that, 99 per cent of the time, those originals live among us as printed, bedotted images. In our digital age, they are always ready to be "pinned" on a Pinterest page on the Web.
There's even one case where Lichtenstein seems to give us a pure and original abstraction – a composition built from colored wedges and vectors that hark back to 1920s futurism – and yet it turns out that it was borrowed straight from a spacey background in a 1963 issue of DC Comic's "The Flash." In Lichtenstein's pictorial universe, every new picture begins with the readymades already found in our visual culture. "That's what I meant," Marcel Duchamp is supposed to have said, on first seeing Lichtenstein's work.
This makes Lichtenstein the godfather not just of Pop Art, but of later artists who might seem to have much less in common with him. Cindy Sherman's life-as-movie approach to photography, and Richard Prince's direct re-presentation of an ad man's Marlborough Country, are also about showing us our world as seen through image-colored glasses. But whereas Lichtenstein, the pioneer, had to use dots and comic-book borrowings to sell us on this new idea, his descendants could just give us the images we're swimming in, and trust us to recognize their Lichtensteinian weight.

Gerald E. "Jerry" Buckley
Was Detroit radio crusader Jerry Buckley murdered because he led a successful recall of the mayor or because he had witnessed a gangland murder? His unsolved case from 1930 leaves that question open.
by Allan May
Radio commentator and crusader Gerald E. "Jerry" Buckley aggressively campaigned for the recall of Detroit Mayor Charles Bowles and the citizens of Detroit responded. When the recall vote was counted, Detroit was due for a new mayor. Less than two hours after signing off from his radio broadcast where he had reported the election results, Buckley was dead. Two gunmen fired 11 slugs into his body as he sat in a hotel lobby, savoring his triumph.
In July 1930 Detroit was enduring a wave of unsolved murders. Buckley's was the 11th during a 19-day period. It began, ironically, at the place where he lived, with a double murder at the side entrance of the La Salle Hotel, which Buckley himself witnessed. The double slaying took the lives of George Collins and William Cannon, two Chicago area hoodlums.
When Mayor Bowles was asked about the rash of killings, he responded by saying, "It is just as well to let these gangsters kill each other off, if thay are so minded. You have the scientists employ one set of parasites to destroy another. May not that be the plan of Providence in these killings among the bandits?"
Bowles campaigned in the fall of 1929 advertising himself as the "dry" candidate. Prohibition was still an important issue in the eyes of the voters and by Bowles claiming to be "dry" he received the support of the churches in the city.
After Bowles took office, speakeasies and gambling dens flourished and Detroit started to become a "wide open" town. In addition, Bowles raised eyebrows when he appointed Joseph Gillespie commissioner of Public Works. Gillespie had been police commissioner during the teens, but was removed when vice conditions in Detroit were considered the worst in the city's history.
Bowles' police commissioner, Harold Emmons, refrained from making raids for fear of infuriating the new mayor. When criticism of Emmons escalated in the newspapers, he decided on a plan of action. On Kentucky Derby day 1930, while Mayor Bowles was in Louisville attending the race, Emmons allowed local newspaper reporters to accompany police officers into the betting parlors where arrests soon followed. What else soon followed was the return of Bowles and the removal of Emmons as police commissioner.
These and other incidents provoked Buckley into action. Buckley had begun his broadcasting career at WMBC in 1928. As a radio crusader he campaigned for old age pensions, and jobs for the unemployed, as well as humanitarian and liberal causes. His efforts resulted in hundreds of jobs for unemployed workers.
When Buckley began to criticize the gambling that was taking place, and attack both Mayor Bowles and Sheriff Wilson, the public began to take notice. His broadcasts included "inside" stories of alleged collusion between organized crime figures and public officials. He even went as far as to give the location of the gambling houses on the air.
Buckley was the first to suggest that a recall election be held. As the recall movement gained support he soon told his audience that he had been offered $25,000 to "layoff" his recall campaign efforts and instead devote his time at the station to the anti-recall forces.
As his popularity boomed, Buckley became known to thousands of Detroit radio listeners for his caustic commentaries on city politics, and his attacks on Bowles, Public Works Commissioner Gillespie, and new Police Commissioner Thomas C. Wilcox. In his criticisms, Buckley claimed that, "Gillespie was the real mayor of Detroit and that Bowles was following his instructions; that Bowles tolerated lawlessness; made pledges which he never kept; directed that public records be kept secret; had hindered Police Commissioner Emmons in his enforcement of the law; and hinted at unlawful graft."
During the days leading up to the recall election on July 22, 1930, Buckley urged his audience to get out and vote "Yes." When the day arrived, Bowles was removed from office by a vote of 120,863 to 89,907. That evening Buckley had gone with his personal secretary, Evelyn O'Hara, to broadcast election returns from city hall. Buckley had given his listeners the final results of the recall vote around 11:30 p.m. and then Buckley and O'Hara dined together.
After dinner Buckley went back to the LaSalle where he maintained a residence and where his broadcast studio was located on the hotel's mezzanine. Arriving around 1:30 a.m. he found the lobby nearly deserted. He grabbed a newspaper and sat down near a stranger in the center of a long corridor. Buckley was waiting for a woman who had telephoned him earlier with the promise of a story if he would meet her.
At 1:40 a.m. three men entered the LaSalle Hotel lobby. While one stood watch near the doorway, the other two walked to within a few feet of the unsuspecting Buckley. Both men drew revolvers and emptied them into Buckley, killing him instantly. The assassins then ran out of the hotel and across Woodward Avenue where they disappeared into a theater.
Incensed by the cold-blooded killing of the radio crusader, Michigan Gov. Fred W. Green flew to Detroit and ordered the state police to investigate the murder "independently" of the Detroit Police Department. Green then threatened to call out the Michigan National Guard "if necessary" to stop the killings in the city.
In an attempt to smear Buckley's reputation, Wilcox claimed he had a signed affidavit from a bootlegger who swore that he paid Buckley $4,000 for protection. Wilcox then reasoned with reporters that Buckley had probably been murdered by someone else he had tried to extort money from. Two days after Wilcox's statement, Frank Chock revealed that he had signed the affidavit, "under the implied threat of being placed in jail." It was further discovered that Chock could neither speak nor read English.
Paul Buckley, brother of the slain crusader, and a former assistant prosecuting attorney, believed Jerry was murdered because of his efforts to have the mayor recalled. He discounted the theory that his brothers' killing was to eliminate him as a potential witness to the murders of Cannon and Collins.
Police arrested Angelo Livecchi, a Licavoli Gang member, shortly after the shooting and charged him with being the "fingerman" who pointed out Buckley to the killers. Jack Klein, a motion picture operator, was identified as the stranger seated near Buckley in the lobby. Both men were held as material witnesses. Police were also seeking the woman who called Buckley to get him to the lobby that night. Prosecutor Harold Toy had Licavoli gunmen Ted Pizzano and Joseph Bommorito arrested, and issued warrants for Pete Licavoli, Frank Cammarata, and Joseph Massei. A raid on the home of "Cockeyed Joe" Catalanotte produced one of the murder weapons. Catalanotte would later be deported to Canada.
No convictions were ever obtained in the Buckley murder. Livechi and Pizzano were later convicted in another murder. Klein was released when the prosecutor's office could find no evidence linking him to the killing. Pete Licavoli was brought back to Detroit after being captured in Toledo in October 1931, but charges against him were dropped due to lack of evidence. Police believed that it was Pete's girlfriend who lured Buckley to the hotel lobby that night with the promise of a story.
Years later the gunmen were identified as Russell Syracuse, Joseph English, and John Mirabella. The three men had fled to Youngstown, Ohio. Mirabella continued his criminal career there living under the name Paul Mangine.
Jerry Buckley's death was not in vain. His murder caused a public outcry that law enforcement could not ignore. The police began closing the gambling dens and speakeasies in record numbers. The Licavoli Gang was forced to move out of Detroit and settle in Monroe, Michigan and Toledo, Ohio.
On July 26, 1930, 10,000 mourners braved a thunderstorm to say goodbye to the martyred radio crusader. The funeral service was held at St. Gregory's Catholic Church, followed by burial at Detroit's Mount Olivet Cemetery. Although there were judges, politicians, and police officials in the crowd, most of the mourners were Buckley's loyal radio audience who knew him only as a voice coming through their radios to champion their causes and ideals.

Bale brace keeps Spurs on the pace
Gareth Bale tore Norwich apart with a brilliant brace as Tottenham moved seven points behind Barclays Premier League leaders Manchester City with an easy 2-0 win at Carrow Road.
After laying siege to the Norwich goal in the first half, Spurs finally found the opener 10 minutes after the break when Bale picked up Emmanuel Adebayor's pass to drive under John Ruddy.
Bale then latched on to Luka Modric's pass to sprint 45 yards before lifting the ball over the on-rushing Norwich goalkeeper with a sublime finish to kill off the match 12 minutes later.
