In 2000, the National Center for Victims of Crime partnered with the U.S. Department of Justice Office on Violence Against Women to create the Stalking Resource Center (SRC). Since its inception, the SRC has trained over 100,000 professionals who work with victims in all 50 states, two US Territories, the District of Columbia, the United Kingdom, and Germany and provided technical assistance to hundreds of communities seeking to enhance their response to stalking. Though the United States has come a long way in how the crime of stalking is addressed and victims are treated, there is still much work to be done. The SRC is committed to continuing its national effort to promote awareness, action, and advocacy to enhance victim safety and hold stalking offenders accountable.
The mission of the Stalking Resource Center is to enhance the ability of professionals, organizations, and systems to effectively respond to stalking. The Stalking Resource Center envisions a future in which the criminal justice system and its many allied community partners will have the best tools to effectively collaborate and respond to stalking, improve victim safety and well-being, and hold
offenders accountable.
The Stalking Resource Center provides multiple services including: Training, Technical Assistance, a Web site, and an Information Clearinghouse.
The Stalking Resource Center provides training that is victim-centered, research informed, and practice based. Stalking Resource Center staff are available to participate in training events sponsored by practitioners on the local, state, and national level. Training topics include:
Training content can be developed and topics can be integrated to meet your specific training needs and can vary in length from 1 hour to 2 days. The Stalking Resource Center often partners with local and nationally recognized law enforcement officers, prosecutors, and other criminal justice professionals in providing training. The Stalking Resource Center is committed to providing training
to meet the individualized needs of communities working to enhance their response to stalking.
For more information on training available from the SRC, contact us at email@example.com or 202-467-8700. To request training, please complete (to the best of your ability) our Training Request Form.

The Baldwin City Council discussed the administrative policy for the city administrator Monday night but decided to postpone any action and further discussion until the May 10 meeting.
Council members Jeff Parrish, Joe Elam and Theron Ayers said they favor the policy that provides that the mayor remains the chief executive officer of the city and provides that the mayor can delegate certain executive and administrative powers to the city administrator. Council members Robert Bohannon and Dustin Mealor were against the policy. Bohannon asked that the policy be carried over to the May work session for further discussion.
The policy also provides that in the event of a conflict between this administrative policy and the city charter, that the city charter shall control.
Council member Parrish started the discussion on this issue several months ago.
At the council meeting on April 9, Parrish passed out information defining the authority of the mayor as outlined in the city charter and that of the city administrator.
On Monday, city attorney David Syfan explained that the administrative policy codifies what Karen Deggs, city administrator already does.
"It outlines her authority to run the city and provides the vehicle for her to do that," Syfan said.
Parrish has made it known from the start that his wish was to clarify the mayor's authority and that of the city administrator.
"Twice the mayor and council have fought over this," Parrish said. "Now is the time to write the policy, while we have good employees in these positions."
Syfan said, "I sort of see this (policy) as a Band-Aid to sort of get us through until next year when the council can put more time and thought into a new charter."
The city's current charter is over 20 years old and does not provide for a city administrator's or city manager's position.
Degges voiced her opposition to the change.
"This takes some things that I do away from me and gives them to the mayor," she said. "This should have been done when the position was vacant."
Council member Bohannon said several times during the discussion the city needs a new charter.
Parrish said, "Right now, the charter is the law."
Finance director Audra Payne said, "Why wouldn't you write a resolution that goes along with the way things are being done? We have been operating as a city manager model."
Parrish and Mayor Jerry Neace both said Baldwin is not to the point of needing a city manager.
Degges said, "Every since the day I was hired, I have viewed all six of you as my bosses. I view each one of you equally."
Parrish said, "But you shouldn't. You should report directly to the mayor."
The council was also split on action taken defining how the agenda is set ech month. In a 3-2 split vote, with Bohannon and Mealor opposed, the council approved the following agenda procedure: reasonable efforts will be made to set the agenda one week before the meeting, unless there is an emergency or urgent issue that needs to be added to the agenda; the city clerk will be responsible for compiling, distributing and posting the agenda as required by law. The city clerk will communicate with the mayor and city council before a final agenda is published; each council member and the mayor have the privilege to add items to the agenda; the city administrator may add items to the agenda, but coordinate with the mayor for items added unless the issue is an emergency or is urgent; and the mayor has the right to move or delay items on the agenda to another meeting in order to help maintain orderly and well managed meetings. The mayor will make every reasonable effort to communicate with the council member or staff that placed an item on the agenda, if the Mayor feels a need to delay an item put on the agenda by that particular council member or staff.
Parrish said, "The council needs to have final approval of the agenda and ultimately that should be the mayor. We need to know what is on the agenda before the meeting."
Degges said it is not always possible to get in touch with the mayor.
Parrish said, "If the council doesn't have final approval of the agenda then things are going on that we don't know about."

When Wynkoop Brewing Co. learned it would play a role in welcoming the Final Four of women's basketball to Denver this weekend, it made sense to put something special on tap.
So the brewery came up with a good name — Malt Madness — and went from there, said Marty Jones of the pioneering LoDo brewpub.
The NCAA, with help from Visit Denver, chose Wynkoop as one of four local establishments that will be serve as home to fans from a school that will vie for the National Title at Pepsi Center. On Tuesday night, the University of Notre Dame became that team, defeating Maryland to win the Charlotte, N.C., regional.
The NCAA was looking for a place with a lot of room, TVs, and something special for visitors, which in the Wynkoop's case was obvious.

Hello all,
I have a simple question concerning the security of my form.
I have a very basic PHP script that interacts with a series of checkboxes.
This form only consists of:
1. several checkboxes
2. textarea field to output echoed data, which does not process any inputed data
When a checkbox is selected it echoes back some text to the textarea field when the form is processed.
As I said before this script is very basic.
So - my questions are as follows:
a. Given that it doesn't interact with any databases or display/save anything viewable by the public, does this form still need to be secured/validated?
b. If so, any ideas on how i can secure it?
An article that i was reading said:
Does this apply to ALL PHP scripts? Or only scripts that interact with a database?Regardless of its mode of execution, the PHP interpreter has the potential to access virtually every part of the host -- the file system, network interfaces, IPC, etc.

Time for another installment of our Real Advice series – hard-earned practical knowledge from real riders here at our home office. This week we delve into the topic of weight loss for cyclists.
It's no secret that losing some weight is one of the best ways to make yourself faster, a better climber, and just feel a lot better all around. Cycling is great exercise, but often riders—both beginners and more experienced riders—can fall into the same traps that prevent them from losing weight, and sometimes even gain it while riding.
There's a million weight loss guides out there, and many are more authoritative than anything we could offer up. But at the end of the day we're just like you. We have families, full time jobs, and sometimes it's hard to think about eating right. So here are some basic, easy tricks and tips that we've used over the years to get down to race weight, or shake off the effects of a long winter. There aren't any magic bullets or miracle diets here. Losing weight takes time, and progress may be slow at first. Everyone is different though, and what works for one may not work for another. If you have something that's worked for you, feel free to make liberal use of the comments section below and join the conversation.
1. RIDE MORE: Losing weight can be a simple equation of calories in vs. calories out. If you want to lose weight, you need to expend more calories, which means more saddle time. That can be tricky though, as most of us feel squeezed to get in enough riding as it is. Here are some tricks we use to get more riding in:
- Try commuting to work at least a few days a week
- Ride early before work or school, when the day is still your own, and you probably don't have the work and family responsibilities you do in the evening
- Extending your ride by just 15 minutes can burn up to 75 more calories (hey, every little bit helps)
- Instead of trying to squeeze in one long ride, try going for two shorter rides that may accommodate your free time better
- If you are short on time, ride harder (within your ability level). A 30 minute spin is not the time to take it easy and soft pedal. Raising the intensity of shorter rides can help you both build stamina and burn more calories.
2. EVERYTHING IN MODERATION: Most people have a mentality that working out entitles them to pretty much eat whatever they want afterwards. While the occasional slice of pie ain't gonna make or break you, the truth of the matter is that unless you're spending all day in the saddle or riding hard at a racing pace, that last ride probably didn't burn more than a few hundred calories. While fueling and recovery are important, most riders way overestimate how many calories they actually need to eat.
- Before your ride, eat only a moderate snack like some bread with peanut butter or an energy gel.
- If your ride will be less than 90 minutes, you may not need a mid-ride snack. Save the gels and energy bars for longer, harder rides.
- After your ride, eat a small meal with a good blend of protein and carbs (see our guide here).
3. TRACK CALORIES OUT: A heart rate monitor may seem unnecessary for most riders, but it's the most accurate way to track how many calories you have burned in a ride. Wearing one while you ride can help guide how many calories you should eat over the course of a day.
If you're not wearing a heart rate monitor or using a power meter, we would recommend taking the "calories burned" number on you cycling computer (or on a stationary bike or treadmill) with a big grain of salt. They usually way over estimate how many calories you've burned on a ride– usually to the tune of about 150-300%.
4. COUNT CALORIES IN: There is all kinds of conflicting info out there about the accuracy of calorie measurement, but for most people counting calories works.
- Read food labels, and pick foods that have a lower amount of calories PER SERVING.
- Avoid the triple threat of fat, salt, and sugar. Fat, salt and sugar are bad for losing weight, so choose foods that have less salt, sugar and fat per serving
- Go for fiber. Foods that are high in fiber and low in sugar have plenty of health benefits, and can help you feel fuller for longer. Avoid granola bars that have added fiber and are loaded with sugar. Instead choose beans, whole grains, and fresh fruit and vegetables.
- Lay off the soda. Soda is loaded with empty calories, sugar and other stuff that isn't exactly conducive to weight loss.
5. STEP ON THE SCALE: Studies show that stepping on the scale regularly can help keep you accountable. Keep a scale at home, and weigh yourself every day in the morning, and again in the evening. Don't get discouraged by what you see though. Weight can vary depending on how much salt you ate, how much water you drank, etc… It's the average downward trend we're looking for. We're playing the long game here.
6. KEEP A JOURNAL: Keeping track of weight, calories in, calories out, and distance/time ridden can help you stay accountable to yourself, and track your progress. If you are meeting your goals, it can help give you that positive motivation to see it written down. If you are not, then you can look at the numbers and see where you might have room for some fine tuning.
7. EAT BREAKFAST: In today's fast paced world most of us either skip breakfast, or just grab something from the Golden Arches on the go. However, choosing a healthy, filling breakfast like a homemade fruit and yogurt smoothie, fresh fruit and toast, or granola cereal can help fuel you throughout the day, and delay those feelings of being hungry.
8. PLAN YOUR MEALS: Planning out your meals may be one of the most important things to help you lose weight. Below are some tips our employees use to make sure they can eat healthy, even when they're in a rush.
- Don't eat out as much. Eating out means eating meals full of hidden calories and questionable ingredients. Eating out is ok occasionally, but when possible eat food you've prepared yourself. Plus, it's expensive, and you need that money to buy new, smaller bike clothes.
- More lean protein and veggies, less cheese and red meat.
- Just because it's a salad doesn't mean it's healthy. Lay off the bottled dressings and shredded cheeses. Try making your own dressing with olive oil and vinegar, and using avocado or cottage cheese instead of shredded cheese.
- Bring your lunch. This gives you the power to know exactly what you're eating and how many calories are in it. If you're pressed for time in the mornings, make it the night before.
- The same goes for breakfast. Try making or preparing your breakfast the night before, and then putting it in the fridge.
- When you make dinner, make big batches. You can then refrigerate or freeze them to reuse on nights when you may feel rushed or don't have time to make a fresh dinner.
- Lastly, eat real food whenever possible. This means avoiding pre-packaged, processed foods and eating more veggies, fruits, lean meats, beans and whole grains. While convenient and sometimes low in calories, processed foods are stuffed full of sodium, saturated fat and other stuff that can prevent you losing weight, and probably won't make you feel your best. The Feed Zone Cookbook by Biju Thomas & Allen Lim has some great recipes for cyclists.
We'll be the first to say that we're not experts on the topic, so before you follow any of our recommendations, it's best to consult with a doctor, trainer, or dietician who can help you figure out a plan that's right for you. You shouldn't in any way, shape, or form consider this to be an end all be all prescription for shedding some pounds.

Blogs from Janet Long.
Sometimes life runs in parallels. As I approach month six of in-house career counseling after 20 years as a business owner and executive recruiter, I'm learning that my students are not the only ones navigating new terrain. It is helpful to hold that perspective—and sometimes to share it outright—when encouraging them to push beyond their comfort zone. This makes me less of the all-knowing adviser and more of a human being who can speak to and perhaps model getting to the other side of major life transitions.
As an executive recruiter, even starting out, I often found an automatic presumption of authority and expertise—role power, as a friend and colleague would call it. Role power allowed job candidates to disclose salary and other intimate life and career details to a virtual stranger within minutes. It also positioned me as a trusted confidante and adviser to hiring organizations, and along with that, the one expected to know.
Much earlier, growing up as the daughter of psychologists, I recall that when asking my mother what I should do in a challenging situation, she would often reply, "What do you think you should do?" While this was maddening in the moment, it prepared me to weigh choices from an early age. Her approach sent the message that I was a capable person who could start the thought process on my own.
Putting these experiences together, I've been reflecting on the role power inherent in career counseling, and the reflexive temptation to problem solve from a position of expertise. I'm learning to differentiate skills development (resume and cover letter writing, interview preparation, networking strategies) from the leadership that comes more from listening than imparting wisdom.
As an example, I recently advised a midlife student who had just completed an associate's degree and was torn between continuing on for her bachelor's in either human resource management or liberal arts. Even as the counselor and huge champion of our traditional liberal arts undergraduates, the recruiter in me admittedly had concerns about short-term employability at a different life stage.
After two in-depth meetings and a series of self-assessments, it became clear that this decision was not a 50/50 proposition. While my student expressed feeling entirely capable of fulfilling the HR program requirements, she voiced much stronger feelings of apathy toward the curriculum. While we had a candid discussion about potential pros and cons, she was powerfully drawn to the liberal arts, and was willing to integrate experiential learning into her already full-time-plus schedule to weave the pieces together.
My student confirmed her decision with her academic adviser shortly thereafter, and copied me on a note that generously described my role as a supportive sounding board. This felt strange at first. Had I done her a disservice by not providing more active advice? What if her decision didn't lead to the financial security she was also seeking?
Then the realization hit. My role was not to absolutely know what she should do, nor to provide a consultant-like recommendation with supporting bullet points. It was, in fact, to listen and to give her the space to reach her own decision, her own knowing, weighing available data with what already felt true for her.
NACE career counselors, have you confronted this distinction within your own practices and student relationships? What have you learned along the way?

So Long, Freddie Hubbard
Earlier this year I saw Freddie Hubbard, one of the world's greatest trumpet players, at Yoshi's in San Francisco. It was a living, breathing disaster. If you'd like, you can read about the show here, but if you ever listened to this man and felt the transport in his trumpet playing, I warn you—it will only make you sad.
In his prime, Freddie Hubbard's solos were the very definition of speaking through playing. His notes were words, his runs long sentences. He was sad, funny, and fearless, all without opening his mouth. I have spent cumulative hours with my eyes shut listening to his solos, being taken on beautiful journeys no oral storyteller could match.
There are so many amazing albums that Freddie Hubbard played on I don't know where to start. I also keep discovering them in my own collection. The hallmarks: Oliver Nelson's The Blues and the Abstract Truth, Herbie Hancock's Maiden Voyage, Eric Dolphy's Out to Lunch. The standards: John Coltrane's Olé, Art Blakey's Mosaic, Tina Brooks' True Blue, Wayne Shorter's Speak No Evil. The big-band avant-garde: Ornette Coleman's Free Jazz, John Coltrane's Ascension. His own: Open Sesame, Hub-Tones, The Artistry of Freddie Hubbard and yes, Red Clay. All of them superb.
Freddie Hubbard died today at age 70, a month after suffering a heart attack. He had a really terrible curtain call in life, and it was torture to watch someone whose playing I loved so much struggling so viciously. It was worse that he was so cantankerous and volatile—just truly heartbreaking. Here's hoping he found some peace. He's still my pick over Miles Davis any day, hands down.
A memorial tribute for Freddie Hubbard is planned next month in New York City. In the meantime, here he is with Art Blakey, Wayne Shorter, Curtis Fuller, Reggie Workman, and Cedar Walton, in 1962. He always blasted hilarious grand entrances in his solos when he was able, and this one's no exception.

This came from another forum: http://jwsoundgroup.net/index.php?/topic/29601-new-sd-gear/&page=3"In advanced mode, the MixPre-3 and -6 will operate like a mixer that most readers here are used to: The input's knob will be the fader and control the post-trim level to the LR mix. The input's trim (Accessible via the Input Settings screen when the input's knob is pressed) will control the level into the ISO track and then into the fader."
What's the best way to input into a Canon 5D MarkIV to record on the camera's card with audio?
Quote from: justink on April 21, 2017, 05:51:39 AMWhat's the best way to input into a Canon 5D MarkIV to record on the camera's card with audio?i don't think you can unless you used the headphones outThat's the huge plus of the ta scam 60d, it has a dedicated camera out that you can adjust too
And further on in the JWS thread:"Folks - you can use channel knobs to adjust your ISO levels. To do this, you would select Custom mode and set Record to Advanced and leave Channel set to Basic. When Channel is set to Basic, ISO levels are post channel knob and when Record is set to Advanced, ISOs can be armed."Looks quite nice if you want 6 tracks and 4 pres. I expect the sound quality and construction will be up to the usual SD standard. Nice that there is some competition among manufacturers in this little recording niche. Zoom and SD have upped the ante. Who's next?
Just to confirm folks, MixPre-3 and 6 do have both trim gains for ISO levels and fader gains for stereo mixing.Sorry about delay in response - just saw the thread on this forum.Paul
Paul,Thanks for dropping in and confirming this. I greatly appreciate that you and SD have taken the time to help us out.Now that you are here, stay a while! Henri
SD is the best. I just about loved my 702 to death, still my favorite recorder of all time. If I were still taping I would be all over the MixPre-6...
Is there any point keeping the 702 in view of this new release?
Quote from: noam on April 21, 2017, 03:01:20 PMIs there any point keeping the 702 in view of this new release? Can't beat those blinding LED level lights on the 7-series. Aside from features and audio quality, one thing I am particularly curious (for someone who definitely will not be getting one) about is what the battery life is with AA batteries and what type of lithium batteries it can use. It doesn't look like it can use the Sony camcorder lithium batteries like the 7-series, which gave it a lot of operating time.
It can use the sony batteries!! There is an optional sled to hold 2 of the sony batteries and they can be hot swapped.

Author Notes: Pretty much everything my husband and I consumed at Kiwayu Safari Village -- a lovely eco-resort right on the Indian Ocean in Kenya -- involved lime in some way: from the virgin Dawa (lime juice mixed with water and a little sugar) we were offered as a refreshment when we first arrived (welcome drinks seem to be standard in East Africa, and I'll admit I kind of wish we had them here), to the wedges of lime served alongside fresh octopus salad or dressed crab at lunch, to the paper-thin slices of lime layered on top of the beautiful whole baked fish presented to us at the dinner table one night. This is an adaptation of the recipe, given to me by the chef at Kiwayu, for the whole baked fish with lime -- in addition to the lime slices that get laid on top of the fish, the fish gets bathed in a delicate marinade of lime juice, olive oil and cilantro before baking. —Merrill Stubbs
Serves: 4 to 6
medium whole fish, about 2 1/2 pounds (I used striped bass), cleaned and scaled
cup freshly squeezed lime juice
cup olive oil
cup roughly chopped cilantro
teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
fennel bulb
large red onion
large lime, very thinly sliced
tablespoon unsalted butter, in small chunks
tablespoon Dijon mustard
- Heat the oven to 325 degrees F. Rinse the fish under cold water and dry well with paper towels.
- In a large, wide bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, cilantro, a few generous pinches of salt and the pepper. Add the fish to the marinade, turning to coat and getting some inside the cavity. Set aside for about 10 minutes while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
- Halve the fennel bulb and thinly slice one half. Cut the other half into 1/8-inch dice. Do the same with the onion.
- Take two pieces of aluminum foil and fold them together so that they form big piece (see photo below). Lay the foil shiny-side down on a large, rimmed baking sheet. Arrange half of the sliced red onion, sliced fennel and lime along the middle of the foil, over an area roughly the same size as the fish.
- Remove the fish from the marinade and slather the cavity with the mustard. Then scatter the butter chunks and the chopped onion and fennel inside the cavity, filling it just enough that it looks plump, without the vegetables spilling out all over the place.
- Lay the fish gently on top of the sliced vegetables, and then arrange the rest of them on top of the fish, finishing with a row of lime slices. Start to fold up the foil so that liquid won't seep out the sides, and then drizzle the marinade over the top of the fish. Fold and crease the foil into a neat package, leaving a little space between it and the fish. Put the fish (on the baking sheet) in the oven and bake for 45 minutes to an hour, until the fish is cooked through. Serve with boiled herbed potatoes and a salad.
- This recipe is a Community Pick!

Harry Shearer is wondering what went wrong.
His Sunday morning satire program, "Le Show," is syndicated to about 100 public radio stations nationwide and is also available on shortwave radio, NPR Worldwide and as a podcast on iTunes.
Yet the station where "Le Show" has originated for more than 29 years, KCRW-FM (89.9) of Santa Monica College, kicked him off the air last week. Instead, it will stream the program over the Internet.
KCRW General Manager Jennifer Ferro cast the move partly as a simple matter of math: She's trying to make room for new voices while hanging on to some old ones by putting them online. She contends that it is part of a two-pronged strategy to boost the station's profile on the air and in the rapidly expanding audio world of smartphones, tablets and personal computers.

Recall 10V240000
Possible Under Hood Electrical Fire
Recall Details
The heated washer module under the hood could overheat due to excessive current draw. Under certain conditions, this could result in an under hood fire. This previous recall attempt in 2008 to repair this concern did not have the expected success. Dealers will now permanently disable and remove the heated washer module to correct this concern. This recall is expected to begin on June 20, 2010.
Our Quick Take
The under hood module for the heated washer system may overheat and catch on fire.
What Should You Do?
This should be considered a high priority recall. The heated washer module could catch fire without warning. Please contact your General Motors dealer. They will check to see if your specific vehicle is affected and advise you on what to do next. Always have your vehicle identification number (VIN) handy when you call.

Armor this heavy may justify usage of a 4d10 armor level, but 3d10 should work just fine too. I'd also give it about 8 inches to move with, and since none of the guns are explsosives, so you've got two size 3ish guns, and I have no idea how long the main gun's barrel is in inches, but that's how many d6s of damage it dishes out.
You have two crew members, so a pilot and a gunner would work well. They're both at a set of controls, so they may either use both of their actions to fire two of the weapons, or the gunner can use his gunnery support action to make the pilot's shot more accurate. With bonus dice, 1d6+1 skill is just a tad better than 1d8 on it's own, only because it's more likely to roll bonus dice.
The Firestorm Projector could even work as a kind of Supernatural Device, with 5d12 power to spend on it's own. When activated, it deals 4d12 damage to everything within 1d12/2 inches. d12s also work with the whole unstable thing, so there's totally a not-impossible chance for you to only deal 5 or 6 damage total if the roll was shitty enough. Whoops!
And there's nothing wrong with playing a game against yourself as long as you take cool pictures.
Have I told you I love this thing? I love this thing.

Campus Ready for Big Bash Weekendby Jim Amidon • June 1, 2004 Share:
Usually by now the banners have been taken down and put into storage, but not this year. This year the College debuts the Big Bash, a completely redesigned alumni reunion weekend for graduates from the 1930s through 1999. Ten classes will celebrate reunions, including the Class of 1954 celebrating its 50th.
As many of you know, Wabash previously split its reunions in half: the young alumni came back in the fall for Homecoming, while older classes came during Commencement weekend.
So, why change it this year?
Alumni Director Tom Runge has talked with hundreds of alumni, informally and in coordinated focus groups. Many suggested that it would be fun to have all reunions at one time, though that's impossible during the school year because of space allocation. Others said at Homecoming and Commencement that graduates or football games were rightfully the top priorities, not the alumni back for reunions; it spread the staff too thin.
So Runge proposed bringing all reunion classes together for one big party on a weekend devoted entirely to them. The Class Agents—the alumni who serve as liaisons between graduates and the College—gave Runge the green light to try Big Bash for a period of a few years to determine whether or not it would fly.
Another thing you probably know is that Wabash alumni are traditionalists who don't much like change (note the Gentleman's Rule at a college for men with a strong fraternity system—all elements of a campus culture of decades ago).
Making drastic changes for something as important as class reunions was a bit of a step off the deep end for Runge and his staff of Mike Warren, Michele Tatar, and Heather Bazzani. Making the weekend seem different, while retaining those elements of past reunions that are important, was a significant challenge.
Bigger still was the challenge of getting alumni to buy it and show up.
We'll find out by this Sunday afternoon if the gamble paid off. Alumni will begin showing up on Friday morning and will take part in more than two dozen events over the course of three days, all of which end with a Sunday awards brunch.
Judging by the number of RSVPs (over 330 folks so far), which Runge says exceeds the total from fall and spring of last year, alumni are excited about the change—or are at least willing to give it a try.
The best part is that the entire College will be available to the alumni, and key administrators will be able to devote 100 percent of their attention to the needs of the reunion classes. On paper it looks like a weekend of fun and excitement.
Among the highlights, all of which are open to the public, are "back to college" colloquium sessions driven mostly by alumni. However, legendary emeritus faculty who taught many of the returning graduates in class will reminisce about the good old days. Other topics include alumni involved in health care, community service, law enforcement, and trusteeship of the College. The Wabash web site details the entire list if you're interested in attending.
The main event, aside from the reunion receptions and dinners, is the First Annual Alumni Chapel Sing competition on Saturday morning at 11 a.m. Each class will take to the Chapel steps to relive that grand Wabash tradition of singing the words to "Old Wabash." In the old days, freshmen who didn't know all of the words to the song received a "W" haircut courtesy of the Sphinx Club. That won't happen this year, but it should be an exciting and memorable event.
All of us at Wabash are bracing for Big Bash Weekend, and are anxious to welcome back the reunion classes of 1954, 1959, 1964, 1969, 1974, 1979, 1984, 1989, 1994, and 1999.

Regarding "Funeral release granted" (Nov. 5, page 1).
Did society really owe this man? It wasn't bad enough Mark Bishop lost his life in an accident caused by Justin Enslen, but if that wasn't bad enough, Enslen then tried to smuggle drugs into the jail.
Trust me, that precious child had no choice to have Enslen as a father. Now Enslen thinks he's a family man.
The Bishops deserve more than the token grief Enslen wants to show now.

LOS ANGELES — Protesters staged a rally in Leimert Park in South Los Angeles today to call for charges against a California Highway Patrol Officer whose beating of a 51-year-old barefoot homeless woman alongside the Santa Monica (10) Freeway last month was captured on video.
The activists were joined by Marlene Pinnock, who was pinned to the ground and repeatedly punched by the officer near the La Brea Avenue off-ramp on the east side of the freeway on July 1.
They want Los Angeles County District Attorney Jackie Lacy to file charges against CHP Officer Daniel Andrew, who has been stripped of his duties. The CHP has investigated the case and turned over its findings to the DA's office.
"The activists and civil rights leaders will not just sit quietly and wait for her decision. We're going to be in the streets demanding Ms. Pinnock gets justice," Najee Ali, political director of the L.A. chapter of the National Action Network, told the Los Angeles Times.
Pinnock has filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against the officer and CHP Commissioner Joe Farrow, alleging she was the victim of an unprovoked attack and cover-up. The suit contends the beating was "tantamount to attempted murder."
It was reported earlier this week that Pinnock had at least two dozen previous encounters with law enforcement prior to July 1. On the advice of her attorney, Pinnock has declined to say why she was walking on the freeway.
The protesters today also decried the fatal police shooting of Michael Brown, an unarmed 18-year-old who was killed in Ferguson, Mo., on Aug. 9 and Ezell Ford, an unarmed 25-year-old man who was shot and killed on Aug. 11 when he allegedly struggled with two officers in South Los Angeles.

3D fad fades for Yanks
Jack Sparrow x 3 != $$$
Americans may be turning their backs on 3D movies.
The new Pirates of the Caribbean movie, On Stranger Tides, has done well at the box office, in the US and elsewhere, but the 3D version has taken less money than other recent releases have.
According to analyst Richard Greenfield, of New York investment house BTIG Research, tickets for 3D screenings have contributed 38 per cent of Pirates total ticket sales.
This time last year, Shrek Forever After and How to Train Your Dragon drew, respectively, 54 per cent and 57 per cent of their total ticket sales from 3D performances, he said, Home Media Magazine reports.
Pirates in 3D has been seen by nearly 851 viewers per screen, down 32.6 per cent from 1129 viewers per screen for Shrek and down 23.3 per cent from 1049 viewers for Dragon, presumably over comparable periods of time.
Viewer fatigue with the Pirates franchise? That may be part of it, but it's also worth noting that, said Greenfield, that it's the kind of flick you'd expect to do well in 3D - thanks to fanboy interest - whereas family movies in 3D have less appeal, largely because nippers don't like wearing 3D specs.
If a strong 3D contender is performing less well than movies with a built-in barrier to 3D ticket sales, reckons Greenfield, it's a clear sign that the novelty is wearing off. ®

I'm trying to create a simple CLISP script and I'd like to find out what are the most efficient and common ways of loading a library.
The script should take a line from stdin and display a message box containing this line. I'm using LTK.
This is the Python prototype:
- Code: Select all
#!/usr/bin/env python3
# show-message.py
from tkinter import *
from tkinter import messagebox
def show_message(txt):
root = Tk()
messagebox.showinfo("", txt)
def main():
It runs pretty well:
- Code: Select all
$ time echo hello world | ./show-message.py
real 0m1.381s
user 0m0.132s
sys 0m0.020s
The `real' time doesn't matter as it depends on when the user press the OK button.
Basicly I'm not sure about what the Lisp counterpart of the import statements should be.
I use quicklisp, so the straightforward solution was as follows:
- Code: Select all
#!/usr/bin/env clisp
(load (merge-pathnames "quicklisp/setup.lisp" (user-homedir-pathname)))
(ql:quickload :ltk)
(in-package :ltk)
(defun show-message (txt)
(with-ltk ()
(format-wish "wm withdraw .")
(do-msg txt)
(defun main ()
(let ((msg (read-line nil nil nil)))
(when msg
(show-message msg))))
The `load' doesn't look especially elegant, but let it be. Much worse is that there's a noticeable delay. Indeed,
- Code: Select all
$ time echo hello world | ./show-message.lisp >> /dev/null
real 0m1.449s
user 0m0.508s
sys 0m0.080s
So user time is nearly four times greater compared to Python.
I also tried to use asdf directly. I copied asdf.lisp into the same directory as the script, compiled it, created the directory `asdf' in my home directory, and created a symlink to ltk.asd (sitting deep in the quicklisp dir) in `asdf'. My preamble became as follows:
- Code: Select all
(load 'asdf)
(push (merge-pathnames "asdf/" (user-homedir-pathname)) asdf:*central-registry*)
(asdf:load-system 'ltk)
The performance improved (not drastically, but all the same):
- Code: Select all
$ time echo hello world | ./show-message.lisp >> /dev/null
WARNING: Replacing method
in #<STANDARD-GENERIC-FUNCTION (SETF TEXT)>
WARNING: Replacing method
in #<STANDARD-GENERIC-FUNCTION (SETF IMAGE)>
0 errors, 2 warnings
real 0m1.277s
user 0m0.308s
sys 0m0.044s
Probably I could do with this script being two times slower than in Python (luckily I don't know Perl ). However, I'm afraid my solution is rather awkward.

It's Complicated Lyrics
Here we go again, another night of being bummed.
I'll keep to myself, avoid the sun,
and cancel plans with everyone I know.
'Cause this is how it always ends;
our bond will break 'cause you can't relate
to anyone, to anything at all.
You brought your worst and I'm right here.
Now I've seen it all, and it's never been so clear.
You're not the person I knew back then.
It's all too late to set things straight, 'cause everything has been.
You're not the person I knew back then,
let's try and act like this didn't happen;
move on with your friends like you ever had them.
You still know me; still not cut out for this sort of thing.
Never one to be in between,
I need constant reminders of everything.
So what? It's who I am, but I think I've played it off so well,
I just hold it in no matter how I've been
so nobody can tell.
You brought your worst and I'm right here.
Now I've seen it all, and it's never been so clear.
I won't sleep 'til the break of dawn.
I can't let our problems find me here, so everybody come on.

Game Company Beats Domain Squatter Today; Should Prepare For More Tomorrow
from the squatter's-paradise dept
Then ICANN approved a new plan to allow even more unneeded and unwanted TLDs. Once the bidding process was in motion, we highlighted the sheer number of TLDs that were proposed. While many of these were directly related to certain companies, many were generic TLDs that any website owner might conceivably use. However, just as there are big problems with the .xxx TLD, we will see similar situations here. Companies will be forced to buy up domains in the fear that someone will use their trademarks for potentially nefarious purposes.
All this concern is based not on speculation but on reality, as one game developer Riot Games, the maker of the popular League of Legends game, has learned. Riot Games had recently won a dispute over a a domain squatter that was banking on people mistyping the League of Legends domain. This one was a fairly simple use of one of the current TLDs on the market: .co. The owner of the .co domain had set up the domain to show porn for anyone who mistakenly typed the wrong TLD. This activity is pretty much as old as the internet itself.
While Riot Games was able to win this one, it seems that we're going to be hearing a lot more stories of these kinds of fights once ICANN officially approves the new TLDs and they begin rolling out. The idea that companies are now going to have to keep checking and buying up their domains on all of these variations seems particularly ridiculous. Not only will it be time consuming and a waste of money, but it's unclear that there will be any value at all to these new domains.

Adventures in putting for Vijay Singh.
I DON'T REMEMBER WHO VIJAH SINGH is working with, but he better get on the phone with him in a hurry. I can't recall ever seeing a tour pro beat a world-class field without making a putt outside of three feet, but that about sums up Singh's victory at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational.
Hey, a win is a win. I'm not trying to be overly harsh. Still, Singh has serious issues with the flatstick. As fine a ball-striker as the Fijian is, I can't see him contending on those Oakland Hills greens in next week's PGA Championship.
Vijay got some serious help on Sunday from Lee Westwood and Phil Mickelson. I listened to the last four or five holes on XM Satellite radio, so I didn't actually see it. I know this: Phil bogeyed three of the last four holes, and left –- what? –- two putts short that were dead in the hole.
It was as if all three 54-hole leaders were trying to give the tournament away. And Tiger was nowhere near Akron. He's home playing video games. It's time to step up, fellas. Uh, fellas?
Nonetheless, the people at Firestone would not be thwarted. They were adamant about handing the trophy to somebody, which turned out to be Singh. Score another victory for a 40-something.

Singh Survives Yips to Win WGC-Bridgestone Invitational

Yes I wonder what the issue is with Vijay's putting...I'm really hoping he can fix it somehow and do really good (win) at Oakland Hills. That would be awesome. IMHO
- The Armchair Golfer said...
It's too bad because Vijay has such a strong long game. I can't see anyone winning at Oakland Hills with a belly or long putter.

Nederlands Dans Theater's premier company presents two works by choreographer Jirí Kylián. In Tar and Feathers, a pianist improvises around Mozart's music at a grand piano perching on metre-high legs. Against this musical back drop, six dancers perform intriguing, mysterious movement in a surreal black and white world.
Wings of Wax is set to music of Bach and Philip Glass. A complete tree hangs upside down above the action, as eight dancers emerge from the blackness, only to dissolve back into it again.
Drawn onward by Lightfoot-Leon sees the dancers faced with a massive door that periodically opens then clangs shut.
Completing the evening is Paul Lightfoot and Sol León's Signing Off, a ballet about saying goodbye and set to Philip Glass' Concerto for violin and orchestra.

Not with this roster. Anything less than a least 6 games into the conference finals is unacceptable.
Talent alone is not going to win this team the cup. Was New Jersey the most talented team in the east last year? Or LA in the west? It takes more than who you have on the roster.
Exactly, it requires coaching that will put the players in the best position to win. This team plays so much better than anyone in the East on a regular basis. The only team that comes close is Chicago and maybe Anaheim. I expect a Cup but I know it's hard but competing well into the Conference Finals is a must this year.
Yeah coaching can help, but look at the 92-93 team that had arguably the best coach in NHL history, they still lost to an inferior team. Sometimes it just takes some luck in addition to talent and coaching to advance.


text: Whole Milk Powder Prices Rise to Five Month High at Auction October 2, 2013 05:37 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Bloomberg Email Fonterra: "China is so strong in buying whole milk powder, because there are issues of foot and mouth disease in the Chinese herd." Tracy Withers Whole milk powder prices rose to the highest in 5 1/2 months, adding to signs that Fonterra Cooperative Group Ltd. can achieve its increased forecast payment to New Zealand farmers. Powder for delivery across all contracts through April rose 2.3 percent, according to a trade-weighted index posted on Fonterra's GlobalDairyTrade website. The average winning price was $5,208 a metric ton, the highest since April 16. Fonterra, the world's biggest dairy exporter, last month raised its forecast payment to New Zealand farmers for a third time, citing the outlook for global prices. Whole milk auction prices have surged 65 percent since the start of the year. While high prices are good for farmers, they may hurt the dairy industry by turning customers to substitutes like soy oil, Fonterra Chief Executive Officer Theo Spierings said in a Sept. 25 interview. Demand is slowing in some regions like Africa "but China is so strong in buying whole milk powder, because there are issues of foot and mouth disease in the Chinese herd," he said. New Zealand milk production is forecast to increase 5 percent in the 2013-14 season, the company said Sept. 6. Still, the global market continues to be in a supply constrained position, it said. Fonterra has reduced the volume it will offer at the auction because of demand from customers for products not offered at those sales, it said last month. Fonterra, which accounts for about a third of the global trade in dairy products, sells whole, skim and butter-milk powder, dried-milk fat, lactose, butter, cheese and casein at its GlobalDairyTrade auctions. Casein is a protein found in milk. Prices across all products gained 2.4 percent. Back to news

When I train clients, I like to make every second count. Instead of working one muscle group at a time, you can cut your fitness routine in half with compound exercises. Compound exercises are movements that require more than one joint and more than one muscle group. Incorporate these exercises into your next workout to maximize muscle activation and minimize your time commitment. You will need a set of 5- to 10-pound dumbbells.
Muscles worked: inner thighs, quadriceps, glutes, shoulders, abdominals, obliques
• Hold the weights in your hands, palms facing you. Stand in a plié squat position with feet far apart and toes pointing out to the sides.
• Keep your chest lifted and hips tucked under as you bend your knees into a plié squat and return to the starting position. Now add the upper body and core.
• As you squat down, pull the weights straight up towards your chest, leading with your elbows. Elbows should lift to shoulder height.
• Holding low in the squat, and high with the weights, twist your torso to the left and back to center.
• Slowly lower weights and straighten legs to starting position. That is one rep.
• Repeat on the right side. Aim for 10-15 repetitions on each side.
Muscles worked: glutes, quadriceps, biceps, core
• Stand with feet about shoulder width apart, holding weights at your sides with palms facing in.
• Step back with your left leg, bending both knees and lowering into a reverse lunge position as you lift the weights up towards your shoulders for a bicep curl. Make sure you keep your chest lifted and shoulders back as you lunge. Elbows should stay pressed towards your rib cage during the bicep curl.
• Next bring your left leg forward, foot off the ground and lift the left knee as you lower the bicep curl. Hold abdominals tight as you balance on one foot and extend the left leg and complete another bicep curl. That is one rep.
• Step left leg back again into the lunge position and repeat the exercise.
• Aim for 10 repetitions on each leg.
If you complete these compound exercises with very little rest in between you will also keep your heart rate elevated for cardiovascular benefits. In a matter of minutes you can work most major muscle groups, burn fat and have time left over to admire your "Hot 'N' Healthy" body.

You've got to hand it to Kim Kardashian. She is not letting impending mommyhood put a dent in her risky fashion style. Sheer blouses, leather, couture with unflattering angles -- no stretch pants and baggy sweatshirts for this pregnant lady.
But these. Pants. Well ... should anyone be wearing them, let alone a pregnant woman? Let's take a closer look, though it pains me to do so.
Kim stepped out the other day in the tight snake skin trousers with the wrap-around ruffle and stiletto heels. Well, I just have to say. Hmm. (I'm thinking.)
Okay, the pants were seriously ill-fitting, for one. For two ... snake skin. Is that back? Was that ever in?
For three, the peplum around the waist. That's a no no on pretty much anyone. Maybe Kate Middleton could get away with it pre-pregnancy. But when you're a few months along and really beginning to show -- WHY draw the eye directly to your waist?
Also the black sweater she paired with the pants -- it's short and rides up her belly. WHY? I know Kim is proud of her butt, but these pants make it look like a lumpy Zeppelin. Sorry, Kim, not everything flatters your ass.
Apparently Kim was on her way to a photo shoot in these things. I'm hoping these pants weren't FOR the shoot? The whole ensemble is just baffling to me. Maybe she wore the pants as a dare or a joke. Could she have baby brain already?
What do you think of these pants?

As spring training dawned in 2009, Alex Rodriguez faced the cameras and confessed to his use of performance-enhancing substances from 2001 to 2003.
"My mistake … I was immature and I was stupid," he said then.
Yet that very same year, the New York Yankees star was supplied with performance-enhancing drugs, according to a report posted Tuesday by Miami New Times. The newspaper cited 16 records from a now-closed Florida clinic that indicated Rodriguez was provided with human growth hormone and other substances as recently as last year.
The report also linked Washington Nationals pitcher Gio Gonzalez, Texas Rangers outfielder Nelson Cruz, Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Melky Cabrera, Oakland Athletics pitcher Bartolo Colon and San Diego Padres catcher Yasmani Grandal to the clinic.
Cabrera, Colon and Grandal all were issued suspensions by Major League Baseball last year after failing drug tests. The other players, including Rodriguez, are at risk of suspension following an ongoing MLB investigation. Under the league's drug policy, a positive test is not the only evidence that can warrant a suspension.

Sue, does 'V' is for Vengeance differ significantly from your previous novels?
In 'B' . . . Kinsey's hired to find a woman whose signature is required on a minor document.
In 'C' . . . Kinsey's hired by a kid to find out who's been trying to murder him.
And so on. This way, I can be certain I'm not inadvertently repeating myself. In 'V,' Kinsey witnesses a shoplifting incident and alerts a sales clerk who notifies store security. The shoplifter is arrested and two days after her fiancé makes bail, she dies from a leap off a 400 foot high bridge. While it appears to be a suicide, the woman's fiancé is convinced she was murdered and hires Kinsey to look into her death. Kinsey's investigation uncovers an organized retail theft ring with which the shoplifter has been working. There are two other subplots woven into the overall storyline and all connect at the end.
I own both handguns she talks about and in fact, I learned to shoot so that I would know what it felt like. I also own the all-purpose back dress she wears. Like Kinsey, I've been married and divorced twice, though I'm now married to husband number three and intend to remain so for life. I'm much more domestic than she is and I cuss just as much, if not more.
What's going to happen to Kinsey when you've finished 'Z' is for Zero?
What's your work schedule like?
What do you want your readers to experience from your novels?
I'd like for my readers to experience an entire range of emotions, from laughter to fear, to suspense to anxiety to tears depending on where they are in any given book. I want them to feel connected to Kinsey Millhone, to see the world as she sees it, and to come away from a story understanding how it's affected her. These are the same emotions I look for in any book I read. I want to be touched and moved and I want to come away from a writer's work feeling renewed and refreshed.

EMI Exec Thinks You Shouldn't Be Able To Listen To Your Own Music Without Paying Again
from the no-wonder-they're-confused dept
What measures do you propose be put in place to prevent the uploading of major label owned content? I can't speak to the mechanism to determine what an annual fee would be (presumably it would be by percentage of catalogue * number of lockers that the content resides in), but asking that controls be put in place to prevent the service from becoming another illegal sharing vehicle is *very* reasonable.How does that make any sense at all? Why should anyone, who has a legal and authorized copy of major label content, be prevented from storing it online to listen to it remotely? And most of these digital lockers don't allow downloads and are only for the one user who uploaded their own music. The claim that these will become "another illegal sharing vehicle" is a total red herring. So they make up a red herring and pretend they're doing this to "protect" that which doesn't need protecting... when the reality is that they're just trying to force people to pay over and over and over again for music they already paid for.

Has anyone had a referral to a neurosurgeon and you contact them because you haven't heard from them, by the time you talk to the receptionist she says that I have to see a neurologist first? I was really upset so I finally asked her, "So I can't see the neurosurgeon?". She said no.
I sobbed.
She told me to contact my doctor who referred me and they would explain it.
On a sidenote, I have been to four and about to be on my fifth neurologist and I was so excited to see him because I have been waiting for three years for a referral. The thing is, my family doctor is the only kind of working with me and even that is a stretch now a days. I feel like that harder I try to get things done, it gets put off longer. I had a Cleveland Clinic appointment on Sept. 12, 2012 and he recommended a lumbar puncture and said my PCP could refer me. Well, I still haven't had one and not even close to it. It has been a mess. He also ordered a MRV which I got the paper order and went through the hospital and did it myself (which had a lot of complication- I had to wait in the waiting room at medical imaging for quite some time). Does anyone else have these problems:
1. Doctors giving up on you.
2. Being denied to be seen.
3. Being left to do everything yourself.
The last thing I want to add is, I believe Gunflint told me about Dr. Edward Benzel at Cleveland Clinic and I am going to ask the neurologist I saw there (Dr. Stefan Dupont) for a referral. Any ideas? I just don't think I can get anything done here in Dayton, Ohio. No one knows about SM or CM and it makes me sick.
