- "The Raven arrived from the Citadel this morning, Your Grace. The Conclave has met, considered reports from maesters all over the Seven Kingdoms, and declared this great summer done at last. The longest summer in living memory."
- ―Grand Maester Pycelle to Queen Cersei
The Conclave is the ruling council of the Order of Maesters. It is composed of the assembled archmaesters, the highest-ranking members of the order. It is based in the Citadel in Oldtown.
Season 2
The Conclave meets in Oldtown to discuss the changing weather patterns. They agree that summer has ended and that autumn has arrived. As is traditional, they send this news to all corners of Westeros with special white ravens. Grand Maester Pycelle relays this news to the small council, prompting them to start tallying the supplies and stores the people of the Seven Kingdoms have put aside for the coming winter.[1]
In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, the Conclave is made up of the ruling archmaesters of the Citadel. In addition to discussing the change of seasons the Conclave also elects the new Grand Maester after the passing of the old, decides on policies, and attends to the administration of the Citadel as well as the training of new recruits. The Conclave also appoints the Seneschal, the maester who has to run the bureaucracy of the Citadel on a day-to-day basis, which is considered drudgery.
Much like the professors in a university faculty, each of the archmaesters is the foremost expert in a specific field, such as the archmaester of medicine or the archmaester of economics, etc. This is in contrast with the ruling council of the Faith of the Seven, the Most Devout, whose members have no official distinction between themselves. While each archmaester is thus not interchangeable, in theory each archmaester is equal, each casting one vote when electing a new Grand Maester. In practice, of course, archmaesters of certain areas of study are considered more prestigious than others. For example, the archmaesters of medicine or economics are held in high esteem, while archmaesters of obscure topics such as magic tend to be ostracized.

Sometimes less is more. That may be true in the development of automated harvesters as the U.S. apple industry continues its quest for mechanization to save money and alleviate labor shortages.
For years, developers have focused on prototype harvesters that replace picking bags and ladders with conveyor belts or vacuum tubes and adjustable platforms that allow pickers to more easily reach the fruit. The belts or tubes carry the fruit to a sorting area on the machine, where optical scanners or people separate the apples into bins.
The trouble with such Jules Verne-like efforts is after years of testing most of the automated pickers don't appear to work well enough to justify the cost, orchardists say. The industry has now turned its attention to a less ambitious alternative — a simple picking platform that increases productivity by replacing ladders but avoids high-tech conveyance tubes and bin fillers.
Low-tech alternative
The Bandit Xpress, made by Automated Ag Systems of Moses Lake, Wash., is the first basic platform made in the U.S. and commercially available. It can be operated by anyone, said Tom Auvil, research horticulturalist at the Washington Tree Fruit Research Commission in Wenatchee.
European-made counterparts break down more often and "you just wouldn't trust anyone to operate," Auvil said. Some have no mechanical assist for moving bins on and off the platform.
"The industry didn't convert to aluminum ladders all in one year, so we shouldn't look at any one of these as a total replacement until growers can really make them pay," he said.
High-tech harvesters, made in the U.S. and Europe, have also had their problems. If too many apples go into a vacuum tube too quickly the system clogs and fruit is bruised. Deceleration of fruit in the tubes and getting it through bin fillers bruise-free has been a problem. It may be several years before the bin fillers work as well as they should, Auvil said. Moving bins efficiently on and off platforms has been another challenge.
"Issues with productivity and reliability need to be worked out. Conveyance of fruit inside a closed harvest system may be an ongoing issue," Auvil said.
Training crews to operate high-tech harvesters efficiently can be as big an issue as mechanical reliability, he said.
J.J. Dagorret, owner of Automated Ag Systems, comes from a background of building equipment for harvesting fruits and nuts in Northern California.
He built the Bin Bandit in 2008 to haul bins and last fall built a self-propelled picking platform he called the Bandit Xpress. It can also be used for pruning, training and thinning apple and other fruit trees grown with trellises.
While some high-tech harvesters cost as much as $200,000 to $300,000 apiece, Dagorret offers the Bandit Xpress at $50,000. He has sold four and has orders for seven more.
"Bigger growers need something that covers ground and is reliable. When they have expensive harvest machines in the field that are not running, they're not making money," Dagorret said. "I'm providing something simple that runs and is 35 percent more efficient than ladders."
The Bandit Xpress is 22 feet long and 7 feet wide. It is powered by a 24-horsepower Honda engine that can run eight hours on 3.5 to 4 gallons of gas. It steers itself down rows but a picker must steer it from one row to the next. It can be towed on roads and highways by tractors or trucks.
Up to four pickers are tethered to the platform, two fore and two aft, on areas that are adjustable in height and width. They pick into conventional bags and dump apples from bags into a bin that a hydraulic hoist sets on the ground when full.
Pickers on the platform concentrate on the upper portions of trees. Ground pickers in front pick lower limbs into bags, depositing their fruit into bins on the ground before they are hoisted onto the platform.
Skilled pickers with bags can handle apples more gently than automated tubes and bin fillers, Dagorret said. They can continue picking into bags while bins change on the platform.
High-tech NW machines
Last January, Picker Technologies of Bellevue, Wash., had five $10,000 refundable deposits for its high-tech, vacuum-tube machines and was looking for 45 more orders before committing to manufacturing them.
It didn't happen.
Growers don't want to buy until the machine is perfected and that takes time, said Vince Bryan III, CEO of Picker Technologies. He sold one apple harvester in Germany and has turned his attention to making a transport tube for fish.
The 2012 model of his apple harvester, used in his family's orchard near George, Wash., is now being reworked to use a dry deceleration of apples from its vacuum tubes for sorting.
"Automated apple harvesters are still relatively embryonic," Bryan said. "The one getting all the chatter is J.J.'s machine (Bandit Xpress) and he may be the smart one by not making such a gigantic leap (into technology)."
Littau Harvester of Stayton, Ore., and Van Doren Sales of East Wenatchee, Wash., built six Littau-Van Doren harvesters in 2012 that operate on orchards in Washington on rent-to-buy agreements for $200,000. They use ground and platform pickers with bags. There's a conveyor, hand-sorting table and automated bin filler. Like the Bandit Xpress, it can also be used for tree pruning and other orchard work.
Littau has had no more orders in the last year and is building a new prototype to eliminate the driver and have the unit driven via radio control by a ground picker, said Norm Johnson, Littau president.
Auvil Fruit Co., Orondo, Wash., has been the main user of the Littau-Van Doren machine but sets it aside for ladders when there isn't enough cullage to make the machine's sorting table economical to run, said Tom Auvil, nephew of the company's founder.
High-tech Michigan machine
A year ago, Phil Brown, owner of DBR Conveyor Concepts of Conklin, Mich., said he needed to reduce bruising in the bin filler of his vacuum-tube apple harvester. He changed its speeds, changed some hydraulics and heads and says it now runs well.
"We've been running all season here with very little or no bruising — basically less than bucket pick," Brown said.
The machine has been running without a breakdown all season at Riveridge Produce, one of the larger growers in Michigan, and is close to being ready for commercial production, he said.
Don Armock, president of Riveridge Produce in Sparta, Mich., said after initial adjustments and getting crews used to it, the DBR machine ran well for 16 to 18 hours a day through most of harvest. It was a big help in getting through a labor shortage with a huge crop, he said.
The machine's bin filler bruised apples less than bin fillers in his packing house and picking into tubes resulted in less bruising than picking into bags, Armock said.
It was most efficient to use the machine for picking tree tops only and having ground pickers do the rest, he said.
Three husband-and-wife teams picked 16 to 18 bins per day per team using the machine versus 14 to 15 bins when they picked from the ground and used ladders for tree tops, he said.
Picking into tubes from a platform is faster than bags and ladders, he said.
"My gut is we're picking tops for less money per pound than picking on the ground," he said, adding he has yet to do a block-by-block cost analysis.
Ground pickers were paid piece rate and platform pickers by the hour, but Armock said it would be fairer to pay platform pickers a combination of hourly and piece rate when the machine is improved to have variable speeds.
He said he has no investment in DBR and wants to consider lower-tech platform harvesters like the Wafler-Cornell machine in New York, which is similar to the Bandit Xpress, before deciding which to buy.
What other growers say
Stemilt AgServices, a wholly owned subsidiary of Stemilt Growers Inc. of Wenatchee, manages about 8,000 acres of company-owned, -leased and -managed orchards in Central Washington. The company has tested automated harvesters for several years. While supportive of the concept, it hasn't bought any yet, said Andy Gale, Stemilt AgServices general manager.
Stemilt tested the Picker Technologies harvester early on.
"The big challenge with these machines is filling bins without bruising fruit," Gale said.
Picker Technologies' vacuum-tube baffles are made with surgical-grade rubber and he's concerned about maintenance costs, he said.
Stemilt rented and is testing two Littau-Van Doren machines this season but has not decided whether to buy them. It also tested the Bandit Xpress.
"It's a neat little system. It's more grower friendly," Gale said. "There's not as much to go wrong. I really like it.
"I think he (J.J. Dagorret) is on to something. Everything he says is true. Right now the theory is if we can get away from ladders we can be more efficient. That's hard to prove with the down time of the high-tech systems. J.J.'s is the most practical buy. We need something that works efficiently."
Scott McDougall, co-president of McDougall & Sons Inc. of Wenatchee said his company tested the Bandit Xpress and will continue to consider it.
"From a cost standpoint, it looks to be a little more reasonable than other machines, but the challenge is fitting it down our 10-foot-wide drive rows. It's pretty tight," he said.
Jim Morford, co-owner of Green Acre Farms in Harrah, Wash., bought two Bandit Xpress machines in the spring for thinning and harvest after using one for pruning. He said he ran them day and night for two weeks during the peak of harvest.
"We were short on help and these got us over the hump," Morford said. "We like to have 300 pickers and this year we were under 200."
Other than a couple minor things — a hydraulic fitting and electrical connection easily fixed with a run to the hardware store — the machines ran day after day with no problems, he said.
They were used in younger and older blocks, steep terrain, color and strip picking and clipped stems, he said. Crews took to it well and even did a fair amount of hand sorting on the platforms, he said.
Even with sorting and color picking, he said, he thinks the machines are about 30 percent more efficient than ladders. He has yet to analyze data for a better assessment, he said.
He plans to buy more and use them for pruning, tree training, trellis work, thinning and harvest.
"I think there will be more technology but when and the cost is unknown," Morford said. "These are a good fit with all the jobs you can do."

How does an Group choose its projects
I was wondering how a group chose its projects.
I mean how do you hear about it, do you guys all have japanese tv, or do you get the tip from other people, and when you choose a show, do you also check how many teams already have the project or not ?

Most groups do what they enjoy. Basically, they obtain a list of shows airing now or in the next season and decide what's good. I think Jasconius's site has good info about each show. It's at http://www.jascii.net/
Certain groups avoid shows that are being oversubbed.
Others don't care.
Finally, a select few take on the most subbed projects (CC, FMPF) and do it super fast.

A lot of times one of us has a show we dearly want to see subbed, and we'll go try to recruit a translator that's interested, or talk to friends to find a joint if none of ours are. This has worked for us approximately: 0 times.
It almost worked for Happy Lesson OVA 4, but the series was licensed before the translator we found actually produced a script. Which is just as well. Less work for us.

In our case, we subtitle an old show that is very near to our hearts.
Takarajima aired on South African Television (and it aired numerous times in Germany) in the late 80's, early 90's.
So we decided to track this anime down, and since there are NO plans whatsoever to license it in America, we decided to start translate and subtitle it.

we have our translators make a list. Then we give that list to one of our more tech-savvy people, who puts it into his computer. His computer automatically searches the web and translates all the information it can find about the series to usable data, and compiles that data into statistical rankings of what series should be done. We go by those exclusively. It's all the power of computars.
(or not)
It's the translators and the group leaders who come up with ideas, but the whole crew is involved in making the decisions. Since we have a huge crew, we can have projects that different people in the group like or hate without too much trouble. It's really pretty ad-hoc how we end up doing stuff... no real set method or anything, but it works.

when a fan sub is formed they get a magic anime ball. similar to a magic 8 ball. basicly you shake it and it tells you what series to sub. ignoring the magic anime ball will bring misfortune only imagined in chain letters.
Ok it's not true, but it is a nice therory.

Some groups are ethical enough to avoid picking up a project when they see another competent group working on the series or search out the group and propose a joint. As far as pressure, that doesn't really happen as much unless a group cuts in on a series (starts subbing it from an episode other than the first), which generally tends to seriously piss off the other group(s) working on said series.

Secretary of State A. Ralph Mollis is reminding Warwick residents that they have until Saturday, March 24, to register to vote in the April 24 presidential primary.
Although the deadline falls on a Saturday, local officials have made arrangements for people to register at the last minute. In addition to targeting first-time voters, the special Saturday schedule enables voters who have moved or changed their names since the last time they voted to update their information as required by state law.
Warwick City Hall will be open from 8 a.m. to 12 noon and Warwick Public Library will be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on March 24. In addition, Mollis will open his office at 148 West River St., Providence, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
If you are not sure whether you are already registered to vote or whether your voter registration information is up to date, use our website at sos.ri.gov to check, said Mollis.
Rhode Islanders can also download voter registration forms from the Secretary of States website. In order to make the deadline, the local board of canvasser must receive the completed registration form by March 24.
Barack Obama will be the only candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination on the ballot. The Republican ballot will feature Newt Gingrich, Ron Paul, Buddy Roemer, Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum. In addition, nearly 120 Rhode Islanders are running to be a delegate at the Democratic or Republican National Convention.
The April 24 presidential primary will be the first test of the state's new Voter ID law for most voters. For the first time, voters will be asked to show ID when they vote at their polling place.
The Secretary of State's office is providing free IDs to registered voters who do not already have an acceptable photo ID such as a R.I. driver's license, college ID, U.S. passport or RIPTA bus pass.
In order to obtain one of the new state-issued IDs, voters must bring proof of identity such as a Social Security card, credit or debit card, utility bill or government-issued document. The complete schedule of when and where voters can obtain a free ID is posted at sos.ri.gov.
Voter ID will be phased in over two election cycles. In 2012 and 2013, voters can use a variety of non-IDs including a RIte Care or Social Security card if they do not have an acceptable photo ID. Beginning in 2014, photo ID will be required.
Eligible voters who do not bring an acceptable ID to the polls will not be turned away. They can vote using a standard Provisional Ballot. If the signature they give at their polling place matches the signature on their voter registration, their ballot will be counted.

The classic Game of "3-Card Monte" with many surprises!
Three cards are shown: two black tens, and a queen of hearts. The spectator is asked to "find the lady," but that's not possible, for now the performer holds three black tens - the queen is found inside the magician's pocket!
The game is repeated with the four-card set. Again, the spectator is unable to find the queen, for the packet now consists of four tens; the queen is again inside the magician's pocket!
The performer suggests that a five card game is too difficult, so one card is set aside. The remaining cards are mixed. The spectator is asked to locate the queen, and of course, suspects that the card that was put aside is the queen. In fact, that card turns out to be the only ten, the other four cards are all queens, one of each suit!

I liked this book because it had a lot of excitement, action, suspense, and you never want to stop! This book is good for reading over and over! When I read this book I felt like I was actually in the book because it had a lot of detail and feeling in it. This book is part of a series of Hardy Boys Mysteries. If you like mysteries, there are many to choose from.
I recommend this book for people who like mysteries and action. There is also suspense during a chase to find the murderer. I think boys would like these mysteries and girls might like Nancy Drew. I would recommend this book for kids who are 8-10 years old.

Archangel Michael of Mantamados
The miraculous icon of Archangel Michael of Mantamados (Gr. Μανταμάδος) in Lesvos, Greece is one of four miraculous icons of the Archangel Michael in the Dodecanese of Greece.
Monastery of the Taxiarchis
On the island of Lesvos, one can visit this miraculous icon at the Byzantine Monastery of the Taxiarchis (Archangel) Michael in the district of Mantamados. This monastery is situated in the northeast part of Lesvos, 36 km from Mytilini. The history of this monastery and the icon is closely connected to the history of the island of Lesvos.
This is a famous monastery, made of stone. The monastery was most probably abandoned in 1462 the year of the island's occupation by the Ottoman Turks.. In the past, the monastery functioned as a men's convent and is first mentioned in a 1661 ecclesiastical document. The small church within the monastery originally dates from the 17th century but was replaced by larger church in the 18th century. The present church (cathedral) was constructed in 1879 and follows a three-aisled basilica architectural type. The monastery is structured para-metrically around this church.
Mantamados icon
There are two accounts surrounding the date of this icon, one having to do with the Ottoman Turkish occupation and destruction of 1462, and the other with Saracen pirates during the 9th and 10th centuries during which the entire island was invaded.
In either case, one of the main targets was the monastery of the Taxiarchis, where the invaders slaughtered all of the monks in the monastery. One novice-monk, however, in his attempt to escape, climbed up the roof, and was pursued. As his attackers closed in on him, the Archangel Michael appeared in front of the Saracens with his own sword drawn and forced them to retreat in a panic. Thanks to this miracle from the Archangel the monk survived, the sole surviver from among his brotherhood.
The monk was in such deep respect and reverence for having witnessed the Archangel Michael in all his fury, that he decided to recreate the image while it was still vivid in his memory. Not having any other tools but that of clay and the blood of the martyred monks, he began to sculpt the image. The monk did not have enough clay to work with and so the head of the Archangel has turned out disproportionally larger than the rest of his body.
This icon, is now kept within the interior of the church. Many islanders claim to have had personal experiences of miracles being granted for them by Mantamados. This is evident by the numerous cabinets full of tagmata (gifts) to the Archangel housed inside the church. To this day, pilgrims to this church have mixed emotions regarding this icon. At times, the expression on the icon can appear severe, sad, or happy, according to the message that the Archangel wants to convey to that pilgrim or the faithful. This is the legend of the much-celebrated icon of Mantamados.

most influential leaders and thinkers. Click on the videos below to watch the interviews:
The performance management processes in many organisations have become overly complicated and far removed from their ultimate purpose: to enhance the performance of employees. Recognising these problems, PricewaterhouseCoopers has refreshed how performance is managed. HCTV chats about the changes with Deb Eckersley, managing partner of human capital at PwC.
Attracting, retaining and engaging employees are some of the most difficult challenges for any HR director. HRDTV sat down with Jane Betts, Group Executive HR at Australian Unity, to discuss how the HR team are assisting the transformation agenda.

Hello Neon! A Neon Kids' Party
Everything old is new again and that is certainly the case with neon which is shedding its image as an 80s cliche and enjoying a stylish revival. Eunice and Sabrina Moyle, the sisters behind letterpress company Hello!Lucky, chose it as the theme of a super fun party for six two-year olds.
Not only did Eunice and Sabrina choose a very hip, of-the-moment theme, neon is perfectly suited for kids (happy, bright, fun!) and is flexible enough for any budget or crafting ability.
The tone of the party was set with the playful Hello!Lucky-designed party invitations (the company's latest product line) and each little birthday boy and girl wore a white shirt stenciled by Eunice with a neon "2" in different fonts. Eunice, Sabrina and the other birthday kids' parents worked on the party ahead of time during some crafting nights to make the stenciled polka dot tablecloths, the streamer doorway curtains, poster board party hats and washi tape cupcake flags.
Hello!Lucky designer Anna Hurley showed off her baking chops with the rainbow cake and cupcakes and the neon pink cake topper was designed by Eunice and cut out by the folks at Because We Can. The eye-catching cake towers (below) were handmade by Eunice (they include a tutorial for this project in their book Handmade Weddings).
Here, they describe all the activities they devised to keep this toddler set busy and happy:
Activities at the party included magnetic fish, sensory bottles which were clear bottles filled with colorful bits of pipe cleaners, a Playdoh station, hopscotch with homemade bean bags, a sticker wall which the kids loved and just required putting up white sheets of paper on the wall and providing the kids with neon circle stickers. There was a balloon wall which served as a photo backdrop, a cardboard castle made with neon duct tape which was also a huge hit.
And we accidentally discovered the most genius balloon action: we had 17" giant white balloons and we tied big tails to them made of plastic safety ribbon - the stuff they use to mark off trees in parks etc.These were heavy enough that they made the balloons sink, but it was actually genius because they sank to kid level and the kids could toss them really high into the air and they would sink back down.
Fun was had by all! And with six parents working on the party the prep was both fun and not too time intensive for any one parent!
Thanks Eunice and Sabrina!

Best Delayed Gift with Worst Topping – John Krasinksi & Emily Blunt
Remember when I ranted back in the day that I didn't get to see them and their marriage enough? (Click here for a refresher.) That they had an obligation to show off how cute we all knew they were together? That I was entitled to see this? Apparently they decided I could wait until the end of January.
They were adorable. They were adorable even in the face of Giuliana who you know was ridiculously annoying. They managed to walk tall even in the face of the world's stupidest question, "what's it like being married to him? To her?" Why are we asking these things on a carpet?
But, true to form, he's mild and she's casual and it makes them both seem just so fun to hang out with, like you KNOW that as soon as they get in the car to go home, they started making fun of everyone they saw. They're comfortable making a joke about how she doesn't look all glam in the morning! I feel they have delivered for us the appropriate level of cuteness in a non-essential year, though I expect to hear more in the future. I want to want them to do a Barbara Walters interview, but I want them never to do it. You know?
Of course, I could pretend we weren't all waiting to get to what she was wearing. Yes I loved that dress. Sure did. That colour is fantastic and rare, and she looked really happy in it, didn't she? Lainey didn't like the style and fit, and upon investigation, it's not a jersey like I thought, but a crinkle chiffon, which certainly lends itself to the 'why…exactly?' even if the overall effect is pleasing.
My own bugaboo, however, is, um, higher. Are we in Grade 7, Emily? What's with the parted-in-the-middle long straight bangs? Are you holding your hands in your sweatshirt to keep warm because you won't wear mitts because your mom is so lame? What is this hairstyle? I hate it because it's not flattering, I hate it because it invokes greasy hair even in the most shining of heads, and I hate it because it makes me think of people pinning back those bang-wings in gym class at 7:40 in the morning.
I suspect she meant none of this. I will only be mollified by flowing locks in the future. Thank you.

House Passes $694 Million Border Bill
GOP Leadership Changed Legislation to Assuage Party Conservatives
WASHINGTON—The new House GOP leadership team's first official day on the job should have marked the beginning of a five-week recess. Instead, top House Republicans scrambled to wrest support for a $694 million bill to deal with the influx of migrants at the Southern border, revising the measure to satisfy the most conservative lawmakers.
The bill was approved on a 223-189 vote late Friday, with four Republicans joining all but one Democrat in opposing it. But the path to passage proved arduous, forcing leaders to postpone...

Whether you're new to using Joolma or just need a refresher on the security side of setting it up, you might want to check out this new post on the ProThemer.com blog about locking down your Joomla site.
It is a safe assumption when you first discovered Joomla, the last thing on your mind was how to handle security on your new website. I know it was for me. [...] By itself Joomla is a very secure CMS that sometime get's a bad reputation.
He suggest two components to install to help harden your installation - ConfigServer and RSFirewall - both provide some extra security features on top of the base ones that come with the application. The second (RSFirewall) is a bit simpler than the first and might be a better starting place if you're not used to thinking about application security.

Orioles executive vice president Dan Duquette has had many discussions here at the winter meetings this week, but he has made it clear that this isn't the time to engage agent Scott Boras on the subject of extending first baseman Chris Davis and catcher Matt Wieters.
But when Boras held court here at the Swan and Dolphin Resort on Wednesday afternoon – with at least 100 reporters crowding around him – Boras said he's open to engaging in talks regarding the two cornerstone players' futures in Baltimore.
Both players are in their second year of arbitration eligibility, meaning they would both become free agents following the 2015 season. And both are looking at significant raises through the arbitration process in 2014.
Davis is coming off a breakout year in which he led the major leagues in home runs (53) and RBIs (138), won a Silver Slugger award and finished third in American League Most Valuable Player voting, while Wieters is a two-time All-Sstar and two-time Gold Glove winner.
If Davis and Wieters go to free agency, they will more than likely go elsewhere.
Boras said he speaks to Duquette two to three times a month, and he had a meeting with him in Baltimore in September. But Boras said that he believes that any serious talks about the duo would eventually lead to a discussion with Orioles managing partner Peter Angelos.
"I'm sure that conversation will be with me and Peter [Angelos] someday, but I'm certainly welcome to entertain it and look at it," Boras said.
He also remains open to continuing dialogue with Duquette.
"Dan and I talk frequently," Boras said." We have a good working relationship, and we had one when he was in Boston.
"He's got great hair, too," he quipped.

First and only game this season the ETSU women will play at Freedom Hall as part of the First Bank and Trust Company Roundball Showcase
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Nov. 20, 2013) – After two good tests on the road to begin the 2013-14 season, the ETSU women's basketball team returns to Johnson City for its home opener against Morehead State on Thursday evening at 4:45 p.m. as part of the First Bank and Trust Company Roundball Showcase. The women's game is part of a Thursday night doubleheader with the men who are set to tip at 7 p.m.
Following a tough overtime loss to begin the year at Memphis, the Bucs managed to get back on track in Boone, N.C. with an 81-72 win versus Appalachian State on Tuesday, Nov. 12. After four ties and three lead changes, clutch free throws down the stretch by a number of Buccaneers allowed the Buccaneers to hold on for their first victory of the season.
Despite being down two starters due to injury and disciplinary action, ETSU got good production from a pair of east Tennessee natives. In her second-career start, Chandler Christopher (Greeneville, Tenn.) recorded career-highs in points (17), assists (4) and minutes played (37). Matching Christopher in the scoring column was Cara Bowling (Elizabethton, Tenn.) who aided her 17-point effort by knocking down two three-pointers and five free throws.
The matchup with Morehead State is the ninth all-time meeting between the two schools in a series that is deadlocked at four games apiece. The Bucs and the Eagles met last season on Dec. 2 in Morehead, Ky. where ETSU topped the MSU, 57-53.
More information about the First Bank and Trust Company Roundball Showcase can be found here.
For more on Thursday's game, read the game notes below. For more on ETSU women's basketball throughout the 2013-14 season, visit ETSUBucs.com and click on the women's hoops link.
Game Notes
The ETSU Department of Intercollegiate Athletics would like to ask both the print and broadcast media to honor our request to be called "ETSU" throughout the 2012-13 season ... East Tennessee State in first reference is acceptable, but subsequent references should be ETSU ... On TV graphics, please use ETSU ... Our nickname is the Buccaneers, but Bucs is also acceptable.
The ETSU Buccaneers enter the 2013-14 season under the guidance of first-year head coach. Brittney Ezell. A two-sport star in basketball and softball at the University of Alabama, Ezell comes to ETSU after spending three seasons as head coach at Belmont University where she compiled a 41-52 overall record. The Franklin, Tenn. native takes the reigns of a veteran-heavy team that returns nine letterwinners from an 8-18 overall 2012-13 campaign. Among the nine returnees are six players who started 10 or more games last season. Highlighted among the returnees is last year's team-leading scorer and rebounder Destiny Mitchell who led the way with 11.5 points and 8.1 rebounds per game. Supporting Mitchell are juniors Serena Clark and Cara Bowling who each averaged 9.5 points per game last season.
BUCS VS. Morehead state
Thursday's contest inside the Freedom Hall Civic Center will be the Bucs' regular season home opener and will be the ninth all-time meeting between the two teams, a series which is tied at four wins apiece. The Bucs and the Eagles met last season when ETSU bested Morehead State, 57-53, on Dec. 2 in Morehead, Ky. In this meeting despite turning the ball over 29 times, the Bucs went 23-of-27 from the free throw line and outrebounded the Eagles by 20 en route to ETSU's second victory of the 2012-13 season. Destiny Mitchell led the team with 15 points to go along with six rebounds and a team-high three steals. Shawn Randall and Maria Bond also pitched in double-figure scoring performances with 11 and 10 points, respectively.
Sophomore guard Chandler Christopher has proved to be a valuable piece for the Bucs to begin the 2013-14 season. After spending the entirety of the 2012-13 campaign as a seldom-used freshman walk-on, first-year head coach Brittney Ezell liked what she saw from Christopher and decided to elevate the Greeneville native from walk-on to scholarship status prior to this season. Christopher has since recorded her first-career starts in each of the first two games of this season and has been a vital cog for the Blue and Gold. After netting two points, five rebounds and three assists in the opener at Memphis (11/8), the guard followed with career-highs of 17 points and four assists in an also career-best 37 minutes played in ETSU's 81-72 win at Appalachian State (11/12). Christopher's performance in the Bucs' first win of the season led to her being named A-Sun Player of the Week by College Sports Madness on Monday, Nov. 18.
Through two games to begin the 2013-14 season, ETSU is averaging 77.5 points per game which is tops in the A-Sun. With the 77.5 points per game also come successes in field goal percentage and three-point field percentage where the Bucs are also leading the league at 45 and 42 percent, respectively.
In 2012-13, the Bucs discovered the most offensive production through points in the paint. ETSU averaged roughly 30 points in the paint per game, including an average of 30 points in its last six. In a loss at Jacksonville, the Blue and Gold recorded 54 points in the paint, the most since scoring 50 against Jacksonville earlier this season on Jan. 28 in Johnson City. To begin the 2013-14 season, the Bucs are averaging 33 points in the paint through two games including 36 in the opener at Memphis (11/8) and 30 in the win at Appalachian State (11/12).
The Blue and Gold outrebounded the opposition in 20 of the 26 games last season and held a plus-6.0 rebounding margin, ranking first in the A-Sun … in a loss at FGCU, the Bucs outrebounded the Eagles by 20, 53-33. The Bucs' plus-6.0 rebound margin ranked among the top 30 nationally. To start the 2013-14 campaign, ETSU outrebounded the Memphis Tigers 47-44 in a 77-74 overtime loss on Nov. 8 and boarded evenly with the Appalachian State at 40 in the Bucs' 81-72 win in Boone, N.C. on Nov. 12.
Veteran presence
The ETSU Buccaneers feature nine returning letterwinners and six players who started 10 or more games last season. Among these returnees are two seniors, five juniors and two sophomores. The returning juniors and seniors accounted for 77 percent of the scoring and 68 percent of the rebounds in 2012-13. Seniors Shawn Randall and Destiny Mitchell alone accounted for nearly 30 percent of the scoring last season and ranked second and third on the team in total minutes played, respectively.
ETSU welcomes three new players for the 2013-14 season. The guard-heavy class features one early signee and two late signees that will try to help bolster the backcourt for the Bucs. Shamauria Bridges signed early with ETSU last season out of Miramar, Fla. and Hollywood Christian School. The 5-foot-7 southpaw was part of the Florida 2A state champion runner-up Hollywood Christian team in 2012. Jasmine Hotchkins - the first signing of the Ezell era - comes to ETSU from Pinnacle High School in Phoenix where she averaged four points and 1.2 assists per game for the 2013 Arizona Division I state runner-up and 32-3 overall Pinnacle Pioneers. Final signee Adriane Vaughan out of Midlothian, Va. and Cosby High School scored 1,021 points during her prep career as a Titan. She was also a first-team all-district selection, second-team all-region and third-team all-metro pick during her senior season.
The Atlantic Sun coaches picked the Bucs to finish tied with North Florida at fifth, while in the media poll ETSU was selected seventh ... the coaches picked FGCU with seven first-place votes to win the conference, while the media selected FGCU with 30 first-place votes ... the Bucs finished the 2012-13 season in eighth.

Cliff Bleszinski's new studio 'a matter of when and with who'
Cliff Bleszinski's exit from Epic Games in October came as a surprise to many, so what does the industry icon have in mind for his next move?
Following a month of doing what Bleszinski described as absolutely nothing," the designer told G4 that he has begun to meet with developers and publishers. Something he believes will lead to the start of his own studio.
"I've been working with [Epic] since I was 17 years old. It's time for a fresh start," Bleszinski said. "I'll start a new studio maybe at some point. It's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when and with who."
Channeling another design legend, Bleszinski expressed his hopes to show off more of his versatility, and eventually shed the 'Gears of War guy' image as his only legacy.
"I don't really want just the whole chainsaw gun to be my legacy, you know? A lot of these kids who have only been playing games for the last however many years, they think that's the only thing I ever did.
They forget about Jazz Jackrabbit, Unreal Tournament, that I worked on things like Bulletstorm and a little bit on Shadow Complex. Moving forward I would hope to work on something new and fresh and redefine my legacy. Stephen Spielberg didn't want to be known for just E.T. so he made a lot of different kinds of things."

Michael Moschen brings his juggling balls and other assorted props to Long Island to share his visually stunning one-man show with all those fascinated by the art of movement. Moschen, who has redefined juggling as an art form, appears at the Madison Theatre at Molloy College, on Thursday, Jan. 24.
Moschen has transformed this ancient circus act into a mesmerizing concert form that has garnered critical acclaim as "genius," "exhilarating virtuoso entertainment" and "flawless purity." Incorporating art, science, physics, and mathematics, he involves his audience in a show is much more than a juggling act: it is a demonstration of creative and seemingly impossible feats of manipulation and illusion.
Now in his '50s, Moschen has developed something of a cult following over the years as he has performed with leading artists off-Broadway, in concert halls and at festivals throughout the world.
Moschen grew up in Greenfield, Mass., with Penn Jillette of Penn and Teller fame, as a next-door-neighbor. With his neighbor, he began to juggle at age 12. Moschen got his first professional gigs with Penn, including summer work at an amusement park. Eventually he dropped out of high school, home-schooling himself instead. He became a street performer, and a founding member of the Big Apple Circus from 1977-1980.
Recognized by the MacArthur Foundation with the prestigious Genius Award, his stage, film and television work crosses ethnic and social borders.

SPY ROOM - Are you agent 301?
In the SPY ROOM you will be sent back on a journey into the the recent past of the cold war, the time of espionage and secrecy, when Berlin was the hotspot for duelling secret agencies.
In the hotel lobby you will be sent on your first secret mission. Find room 301. On the third floor, at the end of the corridor, there's supposed to be a room. But there's only a mirror with bullet holes in it.
Assuming you find the entrance to your room, a few surprises are already waiting for you in the anteroom. Behind a wall picture a spy hole allows you a secret glance onto an imaginary staircase, where something strange has happened or will happen. A set of binoculars enables you to spy onto the dome of the Reichstag and the surrounding territory, where the Berlin wall lay until 1989.
The ambiance of your room will finally bring you back in time. Interior decoration and tapestry of the epoch form the outer frame. At close range you will discover all kinds of gadgetry and tools a spy might need. A surveillance wall with a suspicious character gives the room an ironic conspirative touch, a dialog between spy and hotel guest ensues.

Repeat Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI) Patients: Tailored Socio-Contextual Intervention to Reduce HIV Risk

People who present repeatedly at Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI) clinics represent a key population for HIV prevention intervention research. Despite their heightened risk there is an absence of empirical research on strategies to intervene with repeat STI. Some STI-clinic based behavioral HIV prevention studies, focusing on the general STI patient population, have found that risk reduction interventions can reduce the incidence of a subsequent STI. Studies have shown that expedited treatment for STI patients' partners can reduce subsequent STI and enhancing partner notification can reduce risk for repeat infection. Those who go on to experience repeat infections, after they are provided with risk reduction services, are the focus of this project. Repeat STI literature noted, there have been no intervention studies conducted to lower STI/HIV risk specifically among people who are presenting with repeat STI.
The proposed study develops a risk reduction intervention designed for STI repeaters and evaluates the efficacy of this intervention and its cost-effectiveness. The investigators expect that the intervention for STI repeaters will be significantly more effective than standard care with regard to reducing participants' STI/HIV risks. However, even a highly-effective intervention is unlikely to be adopted if the outcomes come at a high cost. Administrators need to know how effective a "new" intervention is, but also if it is more cost-effective than the program it replaces.
Cost-effectiveness information also is critical to justify the "new" intervention to prevention funders (Milwaukee Department of Health), who are concerned not only with costs and effects, but also with the tradeoff between them. The proposed study will provide the comprehensive level of information about intervention effects and cost-effectiveness required by administrators and resource allocation decision makers to determine whether or not to fund or implement the intervention.
Hypothesis 1. The investigators expect a greater reduction in unprotected vaginal and anal intercourse in the prevention case management compared to the standard care condition.
Hypothesis 2. The hypothesis that the case management group will have a lower STI re-infection rate compared to the standard care group will be tested using each participant's repeat STI status over the 12 month FU period.

This study is a five-year project to develop and test an intervention to reduce risk among people at high vulnerability for HIV infection: patients who present repeatedly at sexually transmitted infection clinics. Repeat bacterial sexually transmitted infections (STI) such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, trichomoniasis, and syphilis, and repeat visits to STI clinics for exposure and potential infection, indicate persistent high-risk sexual behavior. Recidivist patients further represent a significant proportion of public STI clinic visits. Repeat STI can increase the likelihood of HIV transmission during exposure and some recidivist patients may serve as "core transmitters," propagating an ongoing epidemic or endemic chain within a community. Repeat STI patients also face serious health risks from STI complications. In sum, STI repeaters present significant public health risks and place a large financial and resource burden on treatment systems.
Patients with repeat STI, by definition, are not adequately served by the prevention services currently provided by STI clinics. Thus, additional clinic-based services to reduce patients' risk of future infections of STI and HIV are warranted. Adequately addressing the needs of repeat STI patients will allow limited resources to be more heavily invested in services for first-time STI patients who are more likely than recidivist patients to be amenable to standard clinic-based risk-reduction interventions.
The HIV prevention field has largely been silent about assisting patients who present repeatedly with STI and STI risk; there are no published studies testing interventions specifically for repeat STI patients. In addition, most risk-reduction intervention research based in STI clinics has focused directly on the presenting problem of sexual risk behavior or addressed a single co-existing factor (substance use, depression). However, research suggests that repeat STI is related to a wide-ranging and complex configuration of contextual factors that varies by patient. Indeed, repeat STI is highest among communities with the highest rates of STI in general, which are characterized by myriad contextual challenges (unemployment, poverty).
Novel intervention approaches are needed to help repeat STI patients reduce their risk for HIV infection and for infecting others. Investigators propose to address these gaps in the HIV and STI prevention literature by focusing on a high-risk group of recidivist patients: economically disadvantaged urban African Americans. The intervention will help patients address broader, "risk-regulating" social and contextual factors identified by each patient (employment, housing, domestic violence, substance abuse). Investigators also will address individual risk behavior and affective and self-regulatory factors (fatalism, problem solving skills), that contribute to continued risk behavior and interfere with maintenance of risk reduction after an STI.

Active Comparator: Standard of Care
Currently, the total time spent in an STI exam w/men is 30 minutes & 60 w/women. More time is devoted to patients with sexual assault hx. Reason for the visit, symptoms, STI hx, contraception, condom use, number/gender of partners & number/type of sexual activities are assessed. The nurse takes a health hx and asks about typical HIV risks behavior. Due to time the risk assessment is 5 minutes. A risk reduction kit including condoms is issued. Information includes symptoms/treatment of STI, location of sexual health clinics, location of free condoms & testing/treatment resources. Referral information is provided when needed & more involved w/sexual assault survivors. Partner notification is conducted w/syphilis and HIV. This didactic process follows the medical model.

- STI Outcome Measures [ Time Frame: 12 month follow up visit ]
Investigators wish to assess if patients contracted repeat STIs during the study.
- Investigators will conduct STI clinic chart abstraction at 12-months post-enrollment to record subsequent episodes of STIs. Because the Milwaukee Health Department electronic STDMIS System includes data from CDC reportable tests conducted elsewhere, investigators will record STIs diagnosed at other sites.
- Investigators will test for these STIs and HIV at the 12 month follow up visit.
- Investigators will ask patients to report other STI diagnosed anywhere during the period.
- Health-Related Quality of Life [ Time Frame: Baseline, 4, 8, 12 month follow ups ]Investigators will use the SF-36 version 2 (Quality Metric, 2008) to measure participants' quality of life as a secondary outcome. The 36-item scale assesses eight areas of physical and mental health: physical functioning, impact on physical roles, bodily pain, general health, vitality,social functioning, impacts of emotional factors on social roles, and mental health. The scale and its predecessor, the SF-36, have undergone extensive psychometric development.
- Social Action Theory-Based Outcome Mediators [ Time Frame: Baseline, 4, 8, 12 month follow ups ]Investigators will assess the action states component of SAT, using a sexual risk reduction specific conceptualization, based on the Information-Motivation-Behavioral Skills model of Fisher & Fisher (1992). Investigators will assess social problem solving style to indicate more general self-regulation skills. Investigators will also assess HIV risk prevention knowledge, HIV risk behavior change motivation, HIV risk reduction skill and self-efficacy, problem solving, life optimism, fatalism, self-esteem, and health related locus of control.
- Contextual factors - demographic variables [ Time Frame: Baseline, 4, 8, 12 month follow ups ]Demographic variables such as income, housing situation, relationship status, education level, and employment status will be used to characterize participants' economic and social circumstances.
- STI Risk Behavior Assessment [ Time Frame: Baseline, 4, 8, 12 month follow ups ]Sexual risk behavior will be assessed with a Timeline Followback (TLFB) interview. First, the participant is presented with a calendar and asked to identify days that are personally significant. Second, the investigator defines sex in language understandable & consistent with guidelines. Third, the participant is asked to provide initials of all partners during the reporting period. For each, information is requested (sex; primary, casual, anonymous, HIV positive, IDU, or non-monogamous). Fourth, for each occasion of sexual activity, type of sex, condom use, and AODA are assessed.
- Contextual factors - general life context [ Time Frame: Baseline, 4, 8, 12 month follow ups ]Social Context Inventory. Investigators will use a list of 54 commonly-experienced social and health issues, adapted from Carey et al., (1999), rated on a scale from 0 (not bothered) to 4 (bothered every day) to identify the salient problems faced by each participant at baseline. Because participants will present with a wide range of challenges beyond the STI, and the SBPCM intervention will focus on helping participants address areas that participants select, this measure will assess progress on goals set in intervention sessions.
- Contextual factors - social support [ Time Frame: Baseline, 4, 8, 12 month follow ups ]The Social Provisions Scale (Cutrona, 1989) will be used to assess level, type, and satisfaction with available social supports. The global score is the average of 6 subscales: guidance, reliable alliance, worth reassurance, attachment, social integration, and opportunity for nurturance.

Actress Julia Roberts says her children have helped her appreciate her early morning starts.
The 42-year-old says Hazel Patricia and Phinnaeus Walter, five, and two-year-old Henry Daniel have brightened up her mornings.
"My favorite thing is just watching them wake up and watching them realize the day come upon them. It's fascinating to me," Julia tells Oprah Winfrey.
"Henry woke up the other morning and said, 'It's a beautiful day, Mama. Which makes 5:30 a whole lot prettier."
Julia adds that her three kids "are really angelic and wondrous and so heavenly and kind and dear".
