Feb. 12, 2009
NEW HAVEN, Conn. - The Bulldog women's track and field team will close out the regular season on Saturday in the annual Harvard-Yale-Princeton meet held at the Gordon Track at Harvard. The meet will feature some of the top dual-meet competition of the year for the Bulldogs and is the last opportunity for the team to compete before the Heptagonal Championships, also at Harvard, on Feb. 28 and Mar. 1. The Bulldogs lost to both the Harvard and Princeton squads in 2008.
This year, the Bulldogs look ready to take on the tough competition that will be competing at the meet. The Bulldogs are coming off of many strong performances at the two-day Giegengack Invitational. While the meet was unscored, the team turned in a number of fast times and had ECAC Championships qualifying performances in four events, including a new school record for junior Claudia Duncan in the 500-meter dash.
This week, however, the team will not be just competing for absolute performances, but also picking up points against the competition. As such, the team will need to be ready to race against both the clock and the competition, which should be strong. So far this season, the Bulldogs have only competed in one other league meet situation, coming away with the win against Dartmouth and Columbia on Jan. 18. Neither Harvard nor Princeton have competed in dual-meet situations this year.
Last year at the H-Y-P meet, the Bulldogs lost to both Harvard and Princeton. Yale had 39 points while Princeton won with 62 points and Harvard closely followed in second with 58 points.
The best event for the Bulldogs last year was the 400-meter dash, with the team taking first, second and third. Duncan was the event champion, winning the race in an ECAC Championships qualifying time of 56.56. She was followed by Mary Kuder '08 and sophomore Kate Grace in third with a time of 58.29. Duncan should be in a good position to continue her success at the meet after turning in a fast time in the 500-meter run last weekend, an event that will not be run at the H-Y-P meet. Senior Jennifer Lin has run well in the 400-meter dash this year with a top time of 57.84 at the Terrier Invitational on Jan. 24-25. Freshman Gabriella Kelly should also have a chance to do well for the team after her third-place finish in a time of 58.33 at the Giegengack Invitational last week.
The only other win of the meet for the Bulldogs last year came in the 4x400-meter relay. The team of Duncan, Grace, Kuder and sophomore Erika Mansson turned in an ECAC Championships qualifying time of 3:49.14. This performance was good for second on the all-time Yale list. The Bulldogs are in a good position to repeat as the champions in the event this year. Last week at the Giegengack Invitational, the Bulldogs turned in a time of 3:51.48, another ECAC Championships qualifying performance. This time would put the Bulldogs more than three seconds ahead of the top team not from Yale at the H-Y-P meet last year.
The shot put could be a good opportunity for the Bulldogs to pick up points in the field events. Last year, sophomore Stephanie Scaramella was second in the event with a throw of 12.20 meters. This year, Scaramella has been throwing very well, reaching a distance of 12.79 meters in the tri-meet against Columbia and Dartmouth.
It could also be an exciting meet in the 800-meter run, with the Yale and Harvard squads boasting two of the top runners in the event. Grace, who has not yet run the event this season, qualified for the NCAA Outdoor Championships in the event last year. Last week, she competed in the mile, placing second in a new personal record time of 4:52.07. Harvard sophomore Hilary May is an outstanding performer in the event this season, running 2:08.70 in the event last week. That time was fast enough to be a NCAA Championships provisional qualifying performance. Last year, Ingrid Sproll '08 was second in 2:13.74. Junior Stephany Reaves was the top returning Bulldog in the event, running 2:14.78 to take sixth.
This year, the mile should be a very fast event. Last year, the top three runners in the event, all of whom were underclassmen at Princeton, had NCAA Championships provisional qualifying times. It should come as no surprise that the Tigers will be a strong force in the distance events again this year. The team took fifth at the NCAA Cross-Country Championships this fall. This year, the fastest time by a Bulldog was by Grace last week. Senior Kelli Buck, who ran a great race to qualify for the ECAC Championships in the 3,000-meter run last week, is the second-fastest Bulldog in the event this year, running 5:03.16.
The Bulldogs should have the opportunity to perform very well in the sprint events this week. Both freshman Alexa Monti and sophomore Becky Brown have run well in the 60-meter dash. Monti's time of 7.88 in the 60-meter dash at the Giegengack Invitational would have been good for third at the H-Y-P meet last year while Brown's 8.02 would have been good for fifth. In the 200-meter dash, Monti has already gone as fast as 26.00, good enough for the eighth fastest time in Yale history and a time that would have taken third at the H-Y-P meet last year.
The Bulldogs will be hardest hit by graduation in the field events. Olakitan Awolesi '08 won the triple jump and was third in the long jump, 60- and 200-meter dashes.
Competition will get underway with the women's weight throw at 11:00 a.m. Track events will start at 12:45 p.m. with the 60-meter hurdles. A complete schedule can be found here.

Here are two additions to the small collection of apostrophetic blends, in which the negation of the hidden not adds a certain je ne sais quoi to the mix.
Architecture forum:
Forgive me. I recan't. Glass and white walls are evil… i will once again swear to the church of Real Architecture.
(http://www.dezeen.com/2008/10/17/villa- … e-company/)
Investment forum:
''Well I just bought some more and said I wouldn't buy anymore.'' Well we all say things and then recan't from time to time. lol
(http://agoracom.com/ir/edigital/forums/ … _id=561351)
Blog comment:
I suggest that you either recan't your story or make an addendum stating you couldn't research your way out of a wet paper bag.
(http://www.noquarterusa.net/blog/2006/0 … upid-pill/)
In the Database entry for , the etymology of wont is provided as "Middle English, past participle of wonen, to be used to, dwell.". As is my won't produces a directly contradictory usage. There were 28 legit ghits when I looked a while back. One might legitimately think "classic WTFT", but interesting nonetheless.
Customer book review:
When this book arrived, I was, as is my won't, in the middle of four technical books at the time, and this was to be my fiction treat when I had got through them.
Love it. Even "recan't," though, is a bit contradictory, isn't it? The reanalysis of "recant" as "recan" (examples below) feels a tad closer the semantic target. Though it is possible that these examples, if they are more than just spelling mistakes, may have in mind "re-can," to can (to bottle, to put in a container) again," and not "re-enable."
:= "Video of former Baha'i prisoner talking about how he was tortured to recan his faith in Baha'u'llah. "
: "What happened to Luther after he refused to recan his teachings before the emperor's court"
: "The incident with Walmart did start by being accused of cutting a line, and now trying to recan their story…. "
Hatching new language, one eggcorn at a time.
Can'ting one is canning the other. The further off from England, the nearer is to France. If you recan't your faith, presumably at one point you couldn't it, then you could, and now again you recan't.
The notion of re-bottling your faith, stuffing it back in the can, like it was a genie or a jack-in-the-box, is an attractive one.

Rockets report: Thunder's Durant exhibits star attributes
Whether hoping to prove a point about Oklahoma City's ability to roll without Russell Westbrook or taking out frustrations on the team that took Westbrook from the Thunder last spring, OKC forward Kevin Durant seemed driven Sunday.
He was demonstrative, especially after a pair of first-half slams and a second-half jumper over James Harden But he also had an impact defensively, especially on screens, and on the boards, where he grabbed 13 rebounds to go with his 33 points.
But Durant said he did not consider the game any more significant because of the opponent.
"I never want to take this game for granted," Durant said. "Every time I step onto that floor, it's a blessing. Giving it my all and playing as hard as I can, have fun with it, no matter who is out there on that floor playing or against us. Tonight is just another team, and I just wanted to play my heart out for my guys.
"I am not one of those guys that can turn it on or turn it off. Offensively, of course, I may have a hot streak here and there, but I just want to keep the same intensity level every time I step onto the court. Just try to do what I can for my team."
To the Rockets, it did not matter why Durant was dominant, only that he brought others along.
"KD was feeling it tonight," the Rockets' Chandler Parsons said. "Once we started trapping him, started denying him, other players stepped up and started knocking down shots.
"He's really good. He's so long and so tall and so quick with his dribble. There's coverages. You try to force him one way, but he's slithery and he can kind of get back to the other way. He's one of the toughest guys to guard in the NBA because of that. He hits such tough shots. You can't get down on yourself when he hits those shots because he's going to hit those."
Brooks provides rotation options
The 117-86 loss to the Thunder was far too great a blowout for anything to be considered a bright spot for the Rockets, but guard Aaron Brooks provided a jolt. He led the Rockets in scoring with 17 points, going 6-of-14 from the field, including a halfcourt heave he swished to end the third quarter.
Coach Kevin McHale had not used Brooks and Jeremy Lin together in the first games since Pat Beverley's injury, but he did Saturday and Sunday and said he could look to that combination to help limit the minutes of Chandler Parsons and James Harden
"I do have to give those guys more rest," McHale said. "I have to look at different lineups where we could steal a few minutes from James, steal a few minutes from Chandler and those guys. That helps do that."
Some good news on injury front
The Rockets could be getting close to getting center Greg Smith back from his sprained right knee.
After playing four games in five nights, the Rockets will be off Monday and are unlikely to practice New Year's Day. But after a practice Thursday, Smith could be cleared to return Friday against the Knicks.
Smith went out with the injury Nov. 14 in New York, was out a month and played in four games before aggravating it Dec. 22 against the Pistons.
Center Omer Asik has increased his workouts, hoping the swelling in his right knee will not return as it has through most of the month.

Nov. 15, 2007
VANCOUVER, British Columbia - For much of the summer, the North American soccer world was caught up in "Beckham Mania." Former Yale star Jay Alberts '04 got to experience all the hype first hand last week. Alberts and his Vancouver Whitecaps FC teammates played an international friendly with David Beckham and his LA Galaxy team on Nov. 7 before a crowd of 48,172 Vancouver soccer fans.
"It was definitely an exciting night," Alberts said. "It's not too often that you get to play in front of 50,000 fans and world class players like David Beckham."
The Whitecaps, who compete in the United Soccer League First Division, the highest level below the MLS, managed to play a scoreless tie with the Galaxy. Beckham played nearly three-quarters of the game.
"He is a great player, but once the whistle blew, we treated him like any other player," Alberts said. "We did not sit back on him but respected his talents and tried limiting the dangerous opportunities that he relishes."
Alberts, who will be back in New Haven this weekend for the Yale-Harvard game, enjoyed a fine season for the Whitecaps, appearing in 20 games and scoring two goals and adding one assist. At Yale, he was one of only five players in Ivy League history to be named first team All-Ivy four times. He finished his career at Yale second in career assists with 22 and fifth in points with 62, and as a freshman became the first Yale player to be named Ivy League Rookie of the Year.
After the game with the Galaxy, Alberts and some of his teammates spent time hanging out with Beckham
"He was very nice, sociable and a down to earth guy who did not have an arrogance to him," Alberts said.
The only drawback of the experience, no Posh sighting.
"Posh, to the dismay of all the guys, wasn't able to make the trip," Alberts said. "She was preparing for the Spice Girls tour which kicks off in Vancouver in December."

October 29, 2012 -- Men undergoing proton beam therapy reported a higher quality of life immediately following treatment compared to men who received other forms of radiotherapy, according to research presented on Sunday at the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) meeting in Boston.
In a nonrandomized study of 370 patients treated at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and other hospitals in Massachusetts affiliated with Harvard University, the 94 men who received proton therapy at MGH reported few problems following treatment.
In contrast, 153 patients who received intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and 123 men who received 3D conformal treatment reported modest yet significant problems with bowel function two to three months after therapy. IMRT patients also reported having urinary problems at the time of their first follow-up.
Lead author Dr. Phillip Gray, a resident in Harvard's radiation oncology program, reported that the urinary and bowel problems had been resolved for all patient treatment groups two years after completion of treatment. However, patients in all three groups reported steadily worsening sexual function over the two-year period.
"Our study provides a unique addition to existing research in this field and suggests that patients undergoing proton beam therapy for prostate cancer may experience fewer immediate side effects," Gray said. "Given the inherent limitations of any retrospective study, a prospective, randomized, controlled trial to investigate these differences will provide the most rigorous and valid comparison of these advanced technologies."
MGH and the University of Pennsylvania have recently initiated a randomized comparison of proton beam therapy and IMRT for patients with localized prostate cancer. The study's principal investigators are Dr. Jason Efstathiou, PhD, the senior author of this study, and Dr. Justin Bekelman, associate professor of radiation oncology at the University of Pennsylvania. The trial is expected to open at several other proton centers next year.

Water Main Replacement
52nd from Prescott to Bancroft
Prescott 48th to 52nd
September 3, 2013
The City of Lincoln Public Works and Utilities Department has awarded a contract for construction of a new water main to replace the existing water main in the College View Area. The water main construction will be along the east side of South 52nd Street from Bancroft Avenue to Prescott Avenue and along the south side of Prescott Avenue from South 52nd Street to east of South 48th Street.
Contractor and Schedule
The Contractor for this project is General Excavating of Lincoln. They are scheduled to begin work the week of September 9, 2013. The work will begin at the southeast corner of South 52nd Street and Bancroft Avenue. The work will proceed south along the east side of 52nd Street to the southeast corner of 52nd and Prescott. The contractor will then proceed along the south side of Prescott Avenue from 52nd Street to 48th Street. The entire project is scheduled to be completed by November 18, 2013, weather permitting and barring any unforeseen conditions.
Project Operation
The contractor will utilize underground boring equipment for installation of the new water main. This will minimize excavations to locations where the new main is connected to existing mains and locations where water service connections are reconnected to the new water main. Once the new main is installed, it will be tested and disinfected, and private services will be transferred to the new main. There will be a temporary disruption to water service in the area during this transfer.
Temporary Inconvenience
The contractor will close portions of South 52nd Street and Prescott Avenue as the work progresses. Parking along these streets will be restricted in the blocks where construction in underway. The Contractor will work with the adjacent property owners to maintain access as much as possible.
If you have any questions, please contact the individuals listed below.

I seriously LOVE mirrors, and even more, the beautiful standing floor mirrors!!!
Can't say however, that I can afford one.
The one I drool over from Pottery Barn is over $600.
So after a good searching of my house, I found everything I needed to give making my own a try...
Some 1x6 boards from a pile in the garage, a few strips of trim molding, hinges meant for another long-forgotten project, 1x2's and a sad little on-the-door mirror purchased on clearance last fall.
I (cautiously) popped off the blue trim from the mirror, cut down the wood, sanded, puttied, re-sanded, stained, and assembled.
And in the end came out with a piece I'm absolutely tickled pink over!
(Pottery Barn eat your heart out)
Thanks for another fun week and for helping to lighten my to-do load!"

I continue to be impressed by the vision, capability, and reach of the Salesforce.com platform.
The following video was taped at the 1/15/09 Service Cloud Launch event.
The first 23 minutes or so of the following video is a good "State of the Union" message for Salesforce.com overall delivered by Mark Benioff Chairman & CEO of Salesforce.com.
The rest of the presentation describes the announcement of the "Service Cloud" extensions to the existing capabilities of the Salesforce.com Service and Support Applications and extensions to the Force.com platform.
While the underlying concepts behind the idea of using the Internet to engage in conversations with your customers have been with us for some time (Cluetrain Manifesto) the growth of social networks like Facebook provide leverage to apply these concepts in ways that were not possible in the past.
It will be interesting to see how quickly companies move to embrace this level of engagement with their customers.

Wednesday, 18 September 2013 07:21 AM
Bank of England policymakers agreed at their last meeting that the British economy does not need a further stimulus following signs of improvement.
Minutes to the Sept. 5 meeting of the Monetary Policy Committee show the nine policymakers voted to maintain the monetary stimulus and interest rates.
The meeting was the first since new bank governor Mark Carney introduced the concept of "forward guidance" on interest rates. Though the minutes released Wednesday indicated that policymakers think growth is improving, they were less united on how soon the economy will have fully-recovered from the financial crisis.
In response to the crisis, the bank cut its main interest rate to a record low of 0.5 percent and pumped 375 billion pounds ($600 billion) into the British economy through its quantitative easing program.

Garlic & Parmesan Pull Apart Bread
I hope that those of you in the middle of this awful heatwave are finding a way to cope with this heat. I truly feel for those with no power and a heatwave to contend with. I can only imagine how miserable that must be.
I don't like the heat and I hate the humidity. It was terribly humid on the 4th but we trudged through. Thank goodness my house is air conditioned so folks could run back inside to cool off for a bit. Having the AC also comes in handy when I want to use the oven. I haven't been doing a whole lot of baking.
I did turn the oven on a few times though. Once to make this delicious and easy pull apart bread. It was worth the 22 minutes the oven was on. There there was the business of taking a photo.
There are times when I barely get to take a picture of the food I want to blog about.
I get groans when I bring a dish outside or into the garage to photograph it. I've even had teenage boys waiting besides me, forks in hand, ready to pounce as soon as I say "I got it". It's true.
Other times I'll make a separate plate of the dish and photograph after we all eat. That way I get feedback too.
This was one of those recipes that had them waiting. It smelled so heavenly. They just couldn't wait to dig in.
There are versions of this floating all over the blogosphere. Don't ask me where I got this one.
I did adapt the original recipe a bit. Don't I always?
Garlic Parmesan Pull-Apart Bread
1 can of refrigerated Grands biscuits (not the flaky layers)
1/2 stick of butter
3 cloves of garlic, minced
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp Italian Seasoning
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Throw the cold stick of butter in a bundt pan and let it melt in the preheating oven.
While the butter melts, cut the Grands biscuits into quarters. In a bowl, toss the biscuit pieces, garlic, Italian Seasoning, and Parmesan cheese together.
Once the butter is melted, add the biscuit mixture to the pan, sprinkling with any cheese and garlic that gets let behind in the bowl.
Bake at 350 degrees for 20- 22 minutes until golden brown. Turn out on a dish and enjoy!

A series of recent controversies have forced the Obama administration onto the defensive, emboldening Republicans in Congress and threatening to stymie the president's already-struggling second-term agenda.
Republicans have already slowed or stopped several of President Barack Obama's top priorities, including his gun-control proposal, tax plan and a slew of nominations. And this trio of new flaps threatens to further embolden conservatives in Congress, who have at times suffered struggled to unite due to infighting.
NBC's Andrea Mitchell talks to a political panel about how Congress should respond to the IRS and AP investigations.
Revelations that the Justice Department seized phone records from journalists at The Associated Press as part of an investigation into classified leaks has only added to headaches for the White House. Fresh questions about the administration's handling of last year's terrorist attack in Benghazi and reports that the IRS had singled out conservative groups for scrutiny have further galvanized Republican critics to dig in against the president.
"The fact of the matter is House and Senate Republicans have done very little legislating so far this year. This certainly isn't going to help things," said Jim Manley, a former senior Democratic Senate aide. "Now they're going to feast on investigation after investigation for the rest of the year, while throwing red meat to their base and forgetting about the divisions in their own caucus."
Indeed, Republicans have quickly rallied around this trio of controversies – particularly the IRS story, and the continued probe into Benghazi.
"If I were in the opposing party, and the White House were having this kind of week, I'd be smiling," said Jamal Simmons, a Democratic strategist.
Republicans have thwarted many elements of the president's second-term agenda over the past few months, showing little or no interest in the kind of compromise Obama hoped might come from his and Democrats' decisive electoral victories last fall.
"My thinking was when we beat them in 2012 that might break the fever, and it's not quite broken yet," Obama said Monday at a fundraiser, alluding to that phenomenon. "But I am persistent. And I am staying at it."
But the continued probe into Benghazi and the IRS controversy seems to have renewed Republicans' focus, making the opposition party as energized and focused as ever in pursuing these issues to their bitter end, so as to hasten the onset of Obama's "lame duck" status.
Pablo Martinez Monsivais / AP
President Barack Obama walks off stage after speaking at a Democratic fundraiser at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York, Monday, May 13, 2013.
But not all of the administration's allies are panicking.
"I just think that it's panicking too quickly. Come back in a month and if nothing has changed, then that's going to be a very bad sign," said Michael Podhorzer, political director for the AFL-CIO. "It's been a tough week for the administration, but things go up and down. We'll just have to see how things go."
In fact, one of the administration's biggest priorities – comprehensive immigration reform – continues to steadily make its way through Congress, with the aid of Republicans. That legislation alone would be as much of a signature second-term achievement for the president as anything else on his agenda.
At Tuesday's White House press briefing, press secretary Jay Carney disputed a reporter's question about whether recent controversies threatened to knock Obama's agenda off-course.
"The president is focused on what he believes the American people expect from him and their elected leaders in Washington," he said.
And Democrats have begun to punch back.
"It wasn't long ago that the IRS inappropriately targeted the NAACP, Greenpeace and a California church that was really progressive," said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., on Tuesday. "It was interesting at that time, we didn't hear a single Republican grandstand the issue then. Where was their outrage when groups on the other side of the political spectrum were under attack?"
Simmons counseled the administration to focus on notching small victories on other issues in order to turn the political tide back toward Obama – including by fully going after IRS wrongdoing once the facts in that case are clear.
"There are always announcements to make from government initiatives, people to invite from the White House, executive orders to issue," he said. "The power of the presidency is the ability to move things forward."
And progressive supporters of the administration are also on the lookout for any indication that Republicans, in their zeal to ding the administration in any of these recent controversies, overreach in their efforts.
"If the last six years have taught us not much, it's that Republicans are willing to drive over the cliff, and in a way that's unprecedented," Podhorzer said. "I'm not saying anything Earth-shattering to say that Republicans are in their partisan bunker, and they're looking for any reason to go after the administration. This is a party that was pushing birther arguments six months ago."

1367: Installing
Title text: But still, my scheme for creating and saving user config files and data locally to preserve them across reinstalls might be useful for--wait, that's cookies.
| This explanation may be incomplete or incorrect: First draft.
If you can address this issue, please edit the page! Thanks.
In the title text Cueballs idea for local application storage is also already contained in the HTTP protocol by cookies and more recently the HTML 5 protocol added web storage.
Native phone applications and web applications are not completely interchangeable. The web browser that is needed to run web applications on a mobile phone doesn't allow access to several of the phones resources, like notifications and sensors. Projects like Apache Cordova try to make these resources available to web applications, but they do this by creating a native application wrapper for the web application.
- Cueball: Installing things has gotten so fast and painless.
- Cueball: Why not skip it entirely, and make a phone that has every app "Installed" already and just downloads and runs them on the fly?
- I felt pretty clever until I realized I'd invented webpages.

explainxkcd has it pretty easy with this one since the comic explains a lot of itself. Maybe explain what a smartphone is and how apps work? 188.8.131.52 05:28, 12 May 2014 (UTC)
For some reason, this reminded me of the old Snaptu app. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snaptu) 18.104.22.168 07:02, 12 May 2014 (UTC)
Maybe it should be mentioned that sometimes you DON'T want to auto-install every application and give it access to all your phone resources. Because, you know, malware. -- Hkmaly (talk) 09:47, 12 May 2014 (UTC)
I wonder why he chose
cookies over
localStorage... seems like
localStorage does a better job of storing configs. greptalk12:06, 12 May 2014 (UTC)

Web pages and native apps still has a few essential differences that prevent us to interchange them practically, at least for now. The latter can be compiled and optimized into binaries that executes performantly on the specific device/platform. Current web standards don't make pages/sites/apps this way, the web browser needs to load the text codes then interpret and run them on the fly, which is much slower. 184.108.40.206 08:33, 16 May 2014 (UTC)
- Native apps on PCs? Sure. But on phones? Apps on phones rarely contains any native code and in fact often ARE written in web-compatible languages. I mean in java or javascript. Also, in many situations, combination of extremely optimized Java virtual machine and poorly optimized native code results in interpreted code running FASTER that compiled one. Not speaking about fact that not many applications NEEDS to run so fast - they spend most time waiting for disk, net, user input or screen refresh anyway. -- Hkmaly (talk) 10:22, 16 May 2014 (UTC)
The phrase "[...] a phone that has every app "installed" [...]" from Cueball's dialogue seems to conflict with the explanation. I understood it as the phone would have all the apps installed, but with only the "header" data. In the Android context, I suppose that would be the AndroidManifest.xml. In the Windows context, I suppose that would be the registry entries. 184.108.40.206 00:30, 11 November 2015 (UTC)

A 10-year-old girl with profound hearing difficulties was allegedly raped several times by an elderly cab driver hired to take her to school.
Sydney police charged the 64-year-old on Tuesday morning with eight sexual assault offences, including two counts of aggravated sexual intercourse with a physically impaired child 10-14 years old, after investigating allegations from late 2013.
"The offences, which are alleged to have occurred on a number of occasions in 2009 when the girl was aged 10 and 11, took place in the vehicle the man used to transport her to and from school," police said.
The alleged child rapist would abuse the girl a few streets from her home, after dropping other children off at the end of the school day.
He appeared in Liverpool Local Court on Tuesday and was denied bail.
He's due before Campbelltown Local Court in May.

Nashville, Tenn. – The Tennessee State volleyball team's winning streak ended at four matches with a 3-1 (25-21, 15-25, 22-25, 25-27) loss to Austin Peay at home.
Junior setter Erika Moss paced the Tigers (14-11, 8-4 OVC) with 44 assists which was her second consecutive 40-plus assist match.
Offensively, three Tigers ended in double-figures in kills with Naomi Wells leading the way with 21. Fellow sophomore rachel Ambroch tallied 16 and freshman Lindsay Hornsby had 11.
Wells also recorded 17 digs during the contest, but it was senior Britani Hathorn who led the team with 24 playing libero.
Hornsby started the match by tallying a pair of kills during the Tigers' 3-1 run to start the match. She later recorded her third kill to make the score 5-3 and Butler added a kill of her own to put TSU up by three. The teams traded points until an error from Austin Peay (14-11, 8-4 OVC) gave TSU a four-point advantage. Hornsby added two more kills immediately after and TSU was up 16-10. A series of long rallies highlighted the next three points, but they were all won by Austin Peay to trim the Tiger' lead to just three. Just when the Lady Governors were about to tie the set, Ambroch slammed home back-to-back kills to put TSU up 20-17. She added another kill a few points later and the Tiger lead swelled to four. A double-hit error on Austin Peay ended the set and the Tigers were up 1-0.
Hornsby had nine kills during the first period, helping the Tigers hit .269 throughout the set.
Austin Peay started the second frame by going on a 5-1 run that featured a handful of errors by TSU. Wells finally ended the streak with a kill, but the Lady Governors still held a 7-3 lead a little later in the set. APSU extended its lead to six when senior Calasia Williams couldn't quite dig out the ball cleanly. Wells recorded a kill for TSU with the score at 14-10, but the Tigers couldn't cobble together a run as another error later in the period put the Lady Govs up by eight. TSU was down by as many as 11 down the stretch, and APSU eventually tied the match at one set apiece with kill.
TSU was out-hit .083 to .355 during the second period. APSU also benefited from a 3-0 service ace advantage.
TSU rebounded from the poor second set by winning the first two points of the third. Wells tallied two kills in a row later in the frame to put the Tigers up by three at 4-1. The Tigers' lead didn't last long as the Lady Govs recorded a block to make the score 6-5 in their favor. Another block later in the set put APSU up by three and prompted TSU head coach Kathy Rouhlac to call the first timeout in the match. The stoppage of play didn't stop the Austin Peay run as APSU eventually led 13-6 on the back of four straight kills. The Tigers clawed back to within four with a kill from Wells, but couldn't quite tie the set. Austin Peay won the third set to take a 2-1 lead.
Wells had seven kills in the set, but the Tigers only held a .106 hitting percentage.
TSU started the third frame by winning the first two points, but APSU quickly tied the match at two on a TSU error. The teams went back and forth for the next 20 scores and the match was still tied at 12 apiece. APSU finally took a two-point lead on a kill from Jada Stotts and extended its lead to four when a kill from TSU went wide. The 6-2 Austin Peay run forced TSU to burn a timeout, and Ambroch recorded a pair of kills when play resumed to cut the APSU lead to three. Three straight points from the Tigers tied the set at 19, but the Lady Govs answered with a 3-1 run. With the match tied at 25, two straight errors from TSU ended the match.
Hear Rouhlac's thoughts on the match, below:
The Tigers' next match is on the road at Alabama A&M on Oct. 30 at 6 p.m.

You've probably heard the phrase "a picture is worth a thousand words" and this rings especially true for striking images of endangered species. Most people have never been lucky enough to see a whale in the wild, yet they are iconic figureheads in the conservation movement because people know what they look like and why they are special thanks to films and photographs. However, sometimes the best stories are told behind the camera instead of in front of it.
While attending and exhibiting ARKive at the Ecological Society of America (ESA) annual meeting in Pittsburgh, PA, USA, I had the unexpected opportunity to meet Alessandro Catenazzi. Alessandro studies tropical rainforest frog species at the University of California, Berkeley, and is an avid ARKive media donor, giving a face to a myriad of frog species on the long list of IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Because of Alessandro, visitors to ARKive can check out the unusually long forearms of the harlequin frog (Atelopus erythropus), the wide eyes of Pristimantis cosnipatae and the various life stages of Bryophryne bustamantei.
Always thrilled to meet an ARKive media donor, I jumped straight to the catch and asked him to tell me about the stories behind the images he captured. Alessandro was more than happy to share and talk about his work, how he studies the livelihood of these and other frogs in South America and how thrilling it is to find a species that has rarely been caught on camera. When I asked him to expand further on his work, he took on a more solemn tone and began explaining to me about the fungal infection, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis that is hitting rainforest frogs hard and is especially affecting rarer species over more common ones.
Alessandro explained that the fungus spreads throughout frog populations like wildfire but treatment of captured frogs is actually quite simple. Infected frogs can easily be treated with antifungal medications to kill the fungus and save the frog. If an infection breaks out locally, scientists and volunteers can work to locate and treat frogs in the immediate area to create a safety zone and effectively slow the spread of infection. However, locating and treating the thousands upon thousands of frogs in the rainforest is an insurmountable feat.
While learning all about the physical and biological characteristics of the various frog species Alessandro has captured on camera is incredibly educational, hearing the background story of the ecological struggles these species face adds another dimension to the story behind the camera. Films and photos of threatened species are not just a fascinating way to learn about the species most at risk from extinction but offer a unique gateway to encourage people to explore beyond the image and find out that an image may not just be worth a thousand words but, through education and action, could be worth a thousand species.
See more of Alessandro's fantastic images.

"In 1978, harpsichordist Elaine Comparone, National Endowment for the Arts grantee, Concert Artists Guild award winner, former Fulbright scholar and Affiliate Artist, founded Harpsichord Unlimited with Ronald S. Smith, librarian and music aficionado and Dorothy Wick, amateur harpsichordist and archivist. Their intent was to bring the harpsichord to a wide audience and to teach the public about the instrument, its history and its music.
The first project of Harpsichord Unlimited was a festival of chamber music at St. Joseph's Church in Greenwich Village. The series, known as the Winterfest Concerts, attracted large crowds and later extended its purview to St. Michael's Church on Manhattan's Upper West Side. These concerts ran for ten years, featuring Elaine Comparone, various guest artists and an in-house group, The Bach Family Strings. The programs included both little known and familiar early masterpieces along with contemporary works, all with harpsichord. …"

"Welcome to Lyra Viol Music's Gateway
The lyra viol is a somewhat smaller cousin to the bass viola da gamba. These bowed instruments, unlike their namesake the modern viola, are held vertically between the legs like a cello and are bowed at waist level. Viols additionally differ from "modern" string instruments by coming equipped with six or seven strings and frets like a guitar.
The lyra viol is further distinguished from other gambas by the practice of utilizing a large variety of different tuning systems. This practice enables the performer to make a single lyra viol often sound like several instruments at once and achieve different sonorities and qualities of resonance. Twenty-two different tunings are found in one single seventeenth century British source alone, The Manchester Lyra Viol collection, and over twice that number have been found overall.
Lyra music is often extremely emotionally and intellectually engaging and presents yet another example of the depth and power of the Elizabethan culture that produced this unusual musical form. All the written music for the viol "played lyra-way" appears in tablature, a simplified system of notation often preferred by modern beginning guitar players. " Visit website for more information.

The old flutes have great charm and character. And they have much to teach us about the flute music written at the times when they were made.
Except where otherwise noted, all photographs of flutes are of instruments in the author's collection. A number of these flutes are modern copies of early instruments, but the majority are antique flutes made between c.1750 and c.1930.

"We left our home in the woods of upstate NY on September 6th, 2010 for a 7,000-mile concert tour – a road trip that took us to Oregon and back. Oddly enough, although we had taken a stack of CDs to listen to for inspiration and source material, we ended up listening to exactly one and one-half of them. This blog is a series of thoughts and musings inspired by the conversations during the trip, about our approach to our music and the sometimes very satisfying, sometimes thought-provoking dilemma of presenting it to modern audiences. We're taking the time to do this because of our firm belief that music of the 16th century is not only relevant but essential in today's world.
Our first post, a summary of the trip, will be followed by some of our sometimes surprising discoveries of what moves an audience, how 'Early Music' has evolved as a relevant medium for 21st-century audiences and why looking backwards prepares us for the future. We hope you will enjoy it as much as we do.
all the best,

GCHQ Has Entire Program For 'Dirty Tricks' Including Honeypots, Using Journalists, Deleting Online Accounts
from the of-course-they-do dept
The 2010 presentation also describes another potential operation that would utilize a technique called "credential harvesting" to select journalists who could be used to spread information. According to intelligence sources, spies considered using electronic snooping to identify non-British journalists who would then be manipulated to feed information to the target of a covert campaign. Apparently, the journalist's job would provide access to the targeted individual, perhaps for an interview. The documents do not specify whether the journalists would be aware or unaware that they were being used to funnel information.While some might argue that using journalists is an effective way to go after targets, it automatically puts any investigative journalist in serious danger. Daniel Pearl, the Wall Street Journal reporter who was famously killed in Pakistan years ago, was accused by his captors of being a spy. GCHQ's actions make such claims much more credible and put many journalists' lives in danger. While the report suggests this plan was never actually put into action, just the fact that they're considering it is immensely troubling.
The report also details using digital equivalents of traditional "honey traps," -- trying to lure people to certain places with the promise of meeting beautiful women. It also talks about a program called "Royal Concierge" which involved pushing specific people to stay in specific hotels in the UK where GCHQ could better spy on them. They've even explored the possibility of canceling the reservations of people who pick hotels where GCHQ doesn't have as much ability to monitor.
Some of what's described is basic spycraft, but it's the kind of thing that isn't supposed to be under the GCHQ's mandate, and that reasonably has some people concerned.
Eric King, a lawyer who teaches IT law at the London School of Economics and is head of research at Privacy International, a British civil liberties advocacy group, said it was "remarkable" that the British government thought it had the right to hack computers, since none of the U.K.'s intelligence agencies has a "clear lawful authority" to launch their own attacks.Of course, as we've been seeing over and over again over the past year, these agencies don't seem to much care about whether or not they really have a mandate to do this stuff.
"GCHQ has no clear authority to send a virus or conduct cyber attacks," said King. "Hacking is one of the most invasive methods of surveillance." King said British cyber spies had gone on offense with "no legal safeguards" and without any public debate, even though the British government has criticized other nations, like Russia, for allegedly engaging in cyber warfare.

Entrepreneur Summit to Open New Pathsby Tyler Hardcastle '15, The Bachelor • February 11, 2013 Share:
The Schroeder Center for Career Development will host its third annual Entrepreneur Summit on Saturday, Feb. 23. The summit will feature keynote speakers with companies in the advertising, hiring, and medical device industries. The event will also bring alumni and other speakers involved with varying parts of professional life to campus.
Over 210 participants are registered for the day-long event, including students from six Indiana colleges and universities, as well as entrepreneurs from across the state.
"This year we've added nine breakout sessions that students can choose from in addition to the sessions everyone attends," Director of Career Services Scott Crawford said. "You create your experience a little bit more."
The summit focuses more on how participants can use what they learn in a variety of capacities.
"It's easy to be misled into thinking that the word entrepreneurship means only a business and that only people who are interested in business in a really restricted sense should be interested in the summit," Assistant Director of Career Services James Jeffries said. "In fact, it's something that should appeal to many liberal arts students."
Though each speaker will discuss a different part of building a business, they also will address broader life skills. Having an entrepreneurial outlook allows people to adapt to new and changing situations in life and work.
Carl Rivera '13 knew practically nothing about the island of Nantucket when he applied to the Nantucket Bike Tours internship last year. After meeting and later interviewing with the company's owner and operator Jason Bridges '98 at the Entrepreneur Summit last year, Rivera was offered the internship. Not long after, Rivera set off for the northeast.
"Every single day was cool because you're interacting with different people," Rivera said. "People from Italy, Mexico, Texas, Chicago, wherever."
Rivera only spent two weeks on the island before he began giving bicycle tours. Bridges, the owner, started Nantucket Bike Tours a few years back to provide cultural and historical tours of the island. Rivera had to learn a great deal in a short time to prepare for the tours.
"You are constantly building leadership skills, communication skills, and being aware of the clients," Rivera said. "You really gauge the interest of the client, making each tour different."
The company is run with close relationships with the community and various partnerships. Over the course of the internship, Rivera worked with Bridges in many aspects of the company. Bridges also runs a branding company and works extensively with social media and networking.
"Jason is the definition of an entrepreneur," Rivera said. "That's what I want to do when I'm older, open up businesses and then sell them. I'm entrepreneurial minded; a lot of my family is."
According to Crawford, this entrepreneurial mindset will be more and more valuable in the coming years.
"When I started working here kids would graduate and go to work at a company like Hershey with the vision that they would stay there for their careers," Crawford said. "That happens a little bit, but it's rare."
As the job market continues to change students must be able and willing to change with it. The Entrepreneur Summit will be held on Feb. 23, 2013 starting at 9 a.m. Registration is required and can be filed out on the Career Services web page.

It was after the great depression that the grandfather I never knew, William Phillip Roesch (1893-1960) known as Bill became a county police officer. During this period he drove a motorcycle and would give his daughter Elsie (my mother) rides in the sidecar.
During prohibition, there was little enforcement of an unpopular federal law to shut down moonshine operations. But, as soon as a tax was to be collected on whisky, enforcement became more profitable for the local governments.

Bill eventually became a sheriff's deputy and in that capacity closing down moonshine operations was one of the many duties he performed.

SAN FRANCISCO — While Gov. Jerry Brown urged the University of California to consider basic changes in how it operates, UC officials on Thursday said that undergraduate tuition probably will not rise next year.
However, fees for more than 50 professional graduate school programs, such as law and nursing, may increase, leaders of the 10-campus system said.
UC President Mark G. Yudof said it was "very unlikely" that undergraduate tuition, now about $12,200 before room, board and campus fees, would go higher next year if much of Brown's budget plan is adopted. After voters' approval of Proposition 30's tax increases, UC would receive about 5%, or $125 million, more in state funds next year.
In November, the UC regents were set to increase fees for 56 professional degree programs in a range from 1.5% to 35%, but postponed action at Brown's request. On Thursday, Yudof said those programs still want the extra $20 million the increased fees would generate, but he will try to "cut it down by engaging in some economies."
