Darien two-sport star Gesualdi to play lacrosse and football for Hobart College
A multi-sport star graduating from Darien High School and moving on to play his or her top sport at college is hardly out of the ordinary, but Peter Gesualdi's case is a bit different.
That's because the two-sport standout will be playing both Division-I lacrosse and Division-III football for Hobart College, a rare feat for even top high school athletes.
Gesualdi is attending the same college as his father, and the opportunity to play both sports was a key selling point.
"I got in contact with the coaches and went up for my visit and met with both of them," Gesualdi said. "They were both really supportive of me playing both sports. I met some of the players and the campus was great up there."
According to Darien lacrosse coach Jeff Brameier, Gesualdi's speed and athleticism should translate well to the college lacrosse field.
"What jumps out with him is overall athleticism and speed. He's a very tough, hard-nosed kid, and that also shows on the football field and college coaches look for that as well," Brameier said. "He has a tremendous amount of athleticism, and they figure that's going to continue to blossom."

Gesualdi closed out his high school football career as the school's all-time leading scorer by amassing 178 total points during his three-year varsity career, but his senior season wasn't without adversity, as he missed four games (and a good chunk of a fifth game) with a sprained ankle.
"It was definitely tough for those first few games knowing I couldn't go out with my teammates and help out the team," Gesualdi said. "When I did come back, I wanted to make as much of an impact as I could."
After sitting out Darien's season-opening 41-7 win over Fairfield Ludlowe with the sprained ankle, Gesualdi played sparingly the following week, a 44-21 win over Fairfield Warde. But the Blue Wave's preseason hopes of competing for an FCIAC and state championship were dealt a major blow when their star running back and senior captain re-sprained his ankle in a different area against Warde and missed the next three games.
Gesualdi could only watch as his Blue Wave teammates started the season at 3-2, severely damaging -- if not eliminating -- their chances of competing for championships. The two losses occurred in overtime in Week 3 at home against St. Joseph (35-28) and at Trumbull in Week 5 (39-26).
Gesualdi was in eighth grade when he met Darien High football coach Rob Trifone, and Trifone was quickly impressed.
"It was during a quarterback/receiver clinic being run during the winter. We were using a pitching machine that throws footballs as hard as you want, and he was as good as any of the varsity players we had at catching the ball at a high speed," Trifone recalled. "Right then and there, you could see that he was exceptionally talented and that he had great hand-eye coordination."
Gesualdi made his return to the lineup on Oct. 19 at Wilton, a 34-7 victory for the Blue Wave.
"As soon as he stepped onto the field in Wilton, he made a difference," Trifone said. "He wasn't at 100 percent, but he had some catches and made some plays on defense."
The win over Wilton was immediately followed by a 63-28 loss against Staples, but the Wave won their next two games against Trinity Catholic (26-20) and Bassick (48-20), setting the stage for the season-ending Turkey Bowl at home against New Canaan on Thanksgiving, a game which the Blue Wave hadn't won since 2001 -- when Gesualdi was 6 years old.
"(Beating New Canaan) definitely means a lot. Growing up we would hear about us losing to New Canaan year after year," Gesualdi said. "This was my final senior year game against them, and I was really getting tired of it. We worked hard all week and got the job done."
New Canaan scored the contest's first 14 points, but Darien climbed back into the game and eventually claimed a 36-23 victory thanks in large part to Gesualdi hauling in four passes for 64 yards while adding another 25 yards on eight carries and making five tackles on defense.
"Most definitely, the Turkey Bowl win this year (was the top football moment) and probably No. 2 is the (2010) FCIAC Championship win (over Trumbull)," Gesualdi said.
In his three years as a varsity football player, Gesualdi was part of the 2010 FCIAC championship team, made the Hearst Newspapers All-State team in 2011 and made the FCIAC First Team in 2011 and 2012.
"Peter has incredible field sense. Not only is he fast and athletic, but he has the ability to see the field," Trifone said. "All the great running backs and receivers have that where they can decide where they'll weave in and out. It enabled him to be the three-year starter that he was."
For his career, Gesualdi racked up 227 carries for 1,260 yards and 16 touchdowns, as well as 59 receptions for 1,004 yards and 13 touchdowns. On the other side of the ball, Gesualdi picked off 10 passes while making 55 tackles as a defensive back.
While his high school football career might have come to a close with the final buzzer of his team's win over New Canaan, Gesualdi has one more season as a key defensive midfielder of the defending state champion Class M lacrosse team. Gesualdi and company clinched the title with another win over New Canaan, 11-5 in the title game.
Brameier, who also coached Gesualdi's father, is excited to have him back for one more run at FCIAC and state glory.
"He obviously plays a very important role on our defense and on our faceoff. He comes in on the wing on faceoffs and did some tremendous things for us," Brameier said. "As a sophomore, he was a contributor, and last year he was a major contributor. I'm sure he'll be an even bigger impact player this year than he was last year."
Naturally, expectations are high for the perennial FCIAC favorite, and Gesualdi sounds intent on making sure that he and his senior teammates go out on top.
"We're always looking to win states and FCIAC championships," Gesualdi said. "Definitely nothing less."
Overall, Gesualdi anticipates his two sports being more "fast-paced" at Hobart.
"It's definitely going to be more fast-paced. There are a lot more practices, a lot more workouts," Gesualdi said. "But I think I'll be able to handle it because my (high school) coaches have been preparing me for the next level."
Gesualdi isn't locked into a major at Hobart just yet, but indicated that he's giving consideration to business economics.
In the meantime, Gesualdi is looking forward to the start of his senior season of lacrosse, particularly those games against out-of-state rivals.
"Playing those out-of-state games against teams like Manhasset, St. Anthony's and Torrey Pines is big," Gesualdi said. "Manhasset is starting to become a rivalry and these are big games for us to win to get our national rankings up."

Thank you Time Out NYC for saving my weekend. What a fantastic way to see Brooklyn and what a perfect area to ride through. Forget Manhattan - Brooklyn is amazing - too many off the beaten path places to see. The tour left one wanting to come back and explore some more. Excellent tour guides - get responsiveness leading up to the tour... I've recommended this to all my co-workers and friends.. I really had a great time!!!!!
Possibly one of the best things I have ever done in New York. It was perfectably paced. The pitstops were ideal and well timed. The tour guide also gave a wonderful mix of historic and trivial facts along the way, as well as a couple of personal stories that just demonstrated his passion for the areas he shows you as well as for the tour in general. He discussed historic events, architecture, art, music, food and all in between. I am quite a nervous cyclist but felt 100% safe throughout the whole tour. I would wholeheartedly reccommend taking this tour, it's just great and is a fantastic way to sightsee Brooklyn and to see the skyline of NYC. Book it - it is worth every cent!

Not to mention the storyline cant possibly follow anything in the manga to any success. I mean, at MAXIMUM, its a three hour movie(and that was for the huge LOTR trilogy). How the hell do you go into more than a few of the girl's backstory and character development, as well as have room for plot?
Its either going to be based on the first 2 volumes of random fanservice crap plus reversed harry potter, or a totally original story(more likely). I really cant see them going into the good parts unless they do a huge series, and they dont have the budget for that since its not a huge shounen brand like Naruto or set fail for one piece.

I thought of one other thing too. The girl playing Asuna should have to wear contacts to portray her heterochromia.
The thing that annoys me most about this is Evangeline, she's my favourite character for being so small yet so unstoppably powerful in the manga and she's instantly recognizable as the only European 10 year old Gothic Lolita character, not to mention her long flowing blonde hair (listen to me go on here ), but in the cast list its just a girl who could be anybody. It may just be the fact that's she's far and away my favourite character, but you just can't screw with the vampire loli that much and expect things to work out.

here's an idea... film it so that you never actually see Negi onscreen. The girls talk about him, they discuss events, things happen just offscreen or at a distance, blahblah.....
Sound scary? Good... I'm not putting anything past this project for now. Show me the girls in film makeup or some production art and then I might raise my opinion

I just checked the official website and I saw the disaster !!!
who are those freaky girls they choose??!!
they didn't changed their hair color and where is Eva? there wasn't any blonde girl!!
I'm afraid they turn it to another boring live action which is suitable for kidz, BTW I saw the picture of one of the actoress and every time I saw her I laugh (she will act as kufei unfortunately)

Omni has just posted some more images of Negima. Thankfully, the pictures posted before were without makeup and this time, they're all dressed up. I'm still a bit iffy on this one, I never thought it would be live drama material...

It airs on October but there is very little information on what path the show would take? (school drama, comedy, manga adaptation, etc.) other than the classroom sign shows 3-A
We now know about the cast and most people think the show is a goner even before it starts due to their "presentation". What about the production crew? Maybe we can glimpse some quality based on the portfolio of the staff involved?
Anyway its no more than what I expect from a live action version of such a title as Negima. Most fans outside japan may not like it but there must be some positive feedback among the japanese for them to have continued right?

Some girls really look yeah...uhm not so female(lead girl no less), but I'd definitely would have a blast if I got a chance to go on the set. I won't watch the drama, even though I really want to see this train wreck w8ing to happen. I put in a dolla that there will be some actress changes over the course of the series. On the other can cancel before that ever happens. xD

This is going to be a total trainwreck.... but in a MST3K way.
I may have to watch it just for the "Ken A. destroys his own franchise ala George Lucas" factor.
The closeups of the classroom set are more clues that "quality" may be lacking in the production budget --- I'm interested in seeing just how bad the SFX are.... I kind of get the feeling they were consciously shooting for a cartoonish look in the classroom set.
Hmmm, Chach at least has been decorated robotically... but her facial features are a bit too round for a good match --- I suppose actress was able to pull off "robot" well enough to overcome that.
(goes to stock up on beer for the upcoming "MSTing" of the thing....)
Here's the direct links:
http://www.starchild.co.jp/special/n...rama/repo.html (classroom set.... O.o)
http://www.mainichi-msn.co.jp/entert...903/index.html (the girls and cast on stage...... draw your own conclusions)
edit: I notice Sayoko (ghost girl) still lacks white hair or red contacts...... Chach got some help there (cheesy but no worse than old Dr. Who). I can't spot Eva since they have her in school garb rather than some lolita goth dress.

Like i said on another forum, i can see a female Negi working fine --- especially seeing her in the costume. Still that doesn't mean i'm happy with the choice, i just have a feeling it'll work.
So it airs in October. I still wonder if it'll use manga material for story, or go its own path.
Still looking forward for this, 'cause i'm a Negima fanboy who can't hate it. :3

I still quite enjoy the manga.... I *suspect* that the live-action attempt is a bid to get Negima into the "mainstream". A great many Japanese refuse to take a series seriously unless it has been done 'live-action' (Nana, Lovely*Complex, Honey&Clover, etc) since by conventional wisdom, its still a bit "odd" to watch anime after you're grown up.
My son's senior class has an exchange student this year from Japan --- she doesn't watch anime (thinks it is a bit geeky) and is quickly having to come to grips with the idea that Americans don't shun it the way "mundane" Japanese do. She does read manga, but only that which is "okay" for her age and status. It'll be an interesting year for her
A female playing Negi ... that's really no different than if you've seen any stage production of Peter Pan where they use young petite women to play the "13ish" Pan. So that isn't specifically an issue outside of all the probable mind-bending drooling over the pactio rituals
Ah well.. I had to wait several decades through half-assed attempts at the Lord of the Rings before getting one that was passable. One day perhaps we'll get a decent rendition of Negima perhaps after the Potter craze dies off and Hollywood is looking for something similar to carry on with.

I hope another studio plans to carry on adapting the manga, 'cause we both know the amount of awesome material to happen in the manga (you know i'm talking about a certain tournament. <3).
Anyway back onto the TV Drama discussion --- Takamichi still looks like a pimp, so i'm happy!

I really need to see what Eva looks like, will they find a petite girl to play the all-mighty vampire loli? Will she wear gothic lolita and be cocky and arrogant as hell? Will she play a large enough role? Eva is by far my favourite character in Negima, so even me giving the Live Action thing a chance for even MST3K style viewing would hinge on how they handle her.

New Android UI
Recently released Android SDK M5 changes the UI almost completely, as well as many aspect of the API that brake application code.
This is understandable as the SDK is under development and these are pre-releases.
Personally, I think that the UI will be heavily changed in next installment of the SDK preview, so it's better if you don't run changing your Android Development Challenge application because perhaps there's another big change before the deadline.
I'm just speculating.
Look at this example. If the API Demos should also be considered as a kind of informal style guide the use of the screen real estate is alarming.
Showing only four options covering the entire screen seems too much.
From the usability point of view there's also some problems. Not showing the scrollbar, how do the users guess that there are some hidden options ?

'Free, With Ads' Phone Calls Trying Yet Again
from the at-least-on-the-company-side dept
Perhaps even more interesting (though even less likely to get anywhere) is another company, named Pudding Media, that wants to offer free phone calls in exchange for displaying contextual ads on your computer. Yes, the company is claiming that it will use voice recognition to listen in on your calls, determine what you're talking about, and then pop up relevant ads on your computer screen as you talk. The obvious comparison is with Google's contextual AdSense (specifically within Gmail). However, early on people were pretty creeped out by the contextual email ads, and it would seem like people are even more likely to be creeped out by voice recognition systems parsing phone conversations. On top of that, there are so many options now for people to get cheap or flat-rate calling plans, that you have to wonder if this type of solution will really attract many users. The company is likely going to focus on bolting its contextual ad solution on top of other providers, but that really depends on how well it actually works. It appears the company is launching at DEMO this week, which I'll be attending, so I'll try to test it out and see.

As the temperature reached summer-like levels early last week, Mount St. Joseph Academy also saw a cold streak end for its softball team, which recorded its first victory of 2013 in a home game last Tuesday.
Trailing the visiting Golden Bears of Merion Mercy 2-0 halfway through the contest, the MSJ Magic scored four times in the bottom of the fourth to go ahead for good. Each team plated three runners the rest of the way, leaving the Mount with a 7-5 win that raised its record to 1-3.
At the top of the first inning, a pair of walks and an infield error helped lead to a pair of runs for visiting Merion. The Mount's starting pitcher, Kathryn Cnudde, felt she wasn't in top form, and for the start of the second frame freshman Kailey Karabin took over in the circle. She threw the rest of the way and picked up the win, with three strike-outs and one base-on-balls.
The Magic couldn't get anything going on offense in their first three turns at bat, but at least they held the Golden Bears in check, and after Merion batted at the top of the fourth inning, the score was still 2-0.
The top of the order was due up to bat for Mount St. Joe, and after a pop-up for the initial out, sophomore Jen Leinhauser laid down a bunt that Merion couldn't field. Senior Amanda Hawthorne hit a grounder down the third base line and Merion tried for the force-out at second, but Lenhauser slid in safely.
Junior Sammy Burns singled to left field to load the bases, then her freshman sister, Jessie, banged a base hit between third and short to drive in the first run of the day for the home team. Karabin drew a bases-loaded walk to tie the contest at 2-2, then the Magic moved ahead on a sacrifice fly to right field by senior Jessie Dolan.
On the third strike to senior Lauren Stabler (a Norwood Fontbonne Academy graduate), the ball got by the catcher and Merion couldn't make a play at any base. The runner on third came home, and the Mounties took a 4-2 lead out of the inning.
With one out in the top of the fifth and a runner on first through an error, the Magic dropped a pop-up just out of the infield, but were still able to get the force-out at second since the baserunner at first was frozen on the play. A strike-out retired the visiting side, and the Mounties got to work with their bats once more.
Indecision on the part of the Golden Bears' infield allowed a ground ball hit by MSJ senior Margo Buckley to roll through the right side, and she reached third when Leinhauser doubled over the head of the right fielder.
Hawthorne then whacked a solid single to left center that scored both baserunners.
Hawthorne was forced out at second on a ball that Sammy Burns hit to the third baseman, but then a bunt by Jessie Burns produced a series of errant throws by Merion, and the final MSJ run of the day came home to make it 7-2.
Magic fans sensed that they weren't home free yet when the visitors scored a pair of runs in the top of the sixth, and then held the Mount in the bottom half. The seventh frame began with a pop-out, but after that the Golden Bears hit a pair of singles into shallow center, and the runners moved up to second and third on a wild pitch. Yet another stroke to center drove in a Merion run to make it 7-5, but the damage could've been worse. At third base, Sammy Burns leapt high in the air to stop a throw from the outfield that might have sent the ball sailing out-of-play.
The batter on that play stole ahead to put Merion runners on second and third, but Karabin came through with a crucial strike-out for the second out of the inning. The final Golden Bears batter hit a high pop just out of the infield, and MSJ junior second baseman Becky Barton backed up to snag the ball, ending the game.

More Police In New York With Threat of Vigilanteism
NEW YORK (AP) — A spate of break-ins and threats of vigilante justice have prompted New York City police to increase their presence in New York City neighborhoods still struggling with the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy. The Staten Island Advance reports copper pipe thefts caused nearly rebuilt homes to flood again. Ten patrol cars are being added on the east shore.

Yep, exactly.
The huge difference here is, that on a windsurfer you have the mast foot load that can help control the board.
On a kiteboard you dont - so it has to be self stable in another way, thus it would never end up with the same design as a windsurfer, thats for sure
In fact, 2 fins has proven to be way too unstable (or not tracking), almost with "whatever" shape that has been tested till now it seems.
So whether it would be a 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or "whatever finned" - time will tell where we end
But the upward lift factor from the kite, despite the lack of mastfoot pressure, is what might make the kiteboard overall superior to windsurfers, even with another fin system (maybe)

Console puppy
Hi All
I am trying to make a console version of puppy to run linux2.4.22. After loading vmlinuz and image.gz, there are several problems and then there is a kernel panic:
Warning unable to access an initial console.
attempt to access beyond end of device
EXT2-fs error (device ramdisk(1,0)): ext2_read_inode:unable to read inode block inode=7681,block=32773
... (many errors like this EXT2-fs error)
Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init=option to kernel.
I am using the procedure described in the readme.txt to build a console puppy for
linux-2.4.22 . Basically I execute the script on a linux-2.4.22 based system.
and use only the files in sources0. I built this on an old pentium 166Mhz with 80 M ram
running RH8 (I know RH8 is not Mandrake9.2 as suggested and maybe this is an issue?) and with the linux-2.4.22 kernel installed. This created image.gz successfully though compiling syslinux did fail.
Since I already had vmlinuz (the kernel) produced on the PC166 hosts system, it apears as though I have everything (I think):
image.gz, vmlinuz (from the host system), syslinux.cfg and ldlinux.sys (from syslinux)
My syslinux.cfg is:
default vmlinuz root=/dev/ram0 initrd=image.gz
append console=tty0, console=ttyS0, 9600n8r
append PSLEEP=25
Any ideas would be appreciated?

The ramdisk size of image.gz is great than the compiled in size of the ramdisk
You need to know the umcompressed size of the image.gz
Say image.gz uncompressed is 168384K (ie 16MB)
add ramdisk_size=16384 to the kernel command line and all should be good.
What is happening is that a ramdisk is being loaded that is a greater size than the kernel is aware of......btw using a 2.4.22 kernel is going to give you all sorts of trouble if you haven't added the modules from that kernel (2.4.22)...

Thanks for the response.
I think that adding the ramdisk_size paraneter should work however boot up blocks in anycase with "unable to locate initial console" most of the time (depending on syslinux.cfg)
I am now following up on the suggestion about the modules. The script createpuppy0 mentions updatemodules.sh. However It does not appear to need it as there is the line
echo "Copy to Puppy filesystem $DESTDIR/lib/modules/2.4..."
cp -a $PUPPYDIR/modules/2.4/* $DESTDIR/lib/modules/2.4/
which appears to do the job, although only for the 2.4 modules? Also the only updatemodules.sh script I can find on the web is for hairynose puppy?
At the moment I am building the 2.4.22 kernel with the squashfs patch applied for
the config file config-25jun04.
After this, it is not clear what I need to do to include these modules on the flash drive?
Do I run createpuppy0 first for example? Do the modules remain in compressed form in
rootfs-complete/lib/modules/ and is the correct directory 2.4.22 or 2.4 simply?

Post subject: Puppy console module problem
I have now figured out the reason for the inability to open an initial console. I needed to add /dev/console and /dev/null to rootfs-complete/dev.
It now seems that puppy is running because I put a ping command into rc.local and ping producs an error message to do with the network being unreachable. This is a sign of life!
However I would like to obtain more information on how to deal with modules. Boot up still crashes on modules. These are just the modules from puppy.tar.gz all compressed. According to the createpuppy0 script, these are copied into rootfs-complete /lib/modules
but they are still the same and in .gz format.
What do I have to do? Do I need to gunzip them myself? You did say in your last email that it was clear there was a module problem. What did you notice?
Cheers, Any help would be appreciated.

First off the modules HAVE to match the kernel....
What I suggest is to run, if you can, with a stock kernel and work from there, if you need a custom 2.4.27 kernel or modules to go with drop me a line and I'll be glad to help out or any gerneal advise....
Just wondering why a 2.4.22 kernel ?

That sources0 and sources1 code that you are using is very old.
We are now all using Puppy Unleashed -- it is not compiling from
source though, Unleashed is all binary packages.
You just choose the packages you want and create a custom Puppy.

Post subject: console puppy
I am using the following file set from ibiblio.org
puppy.tar.gz sources0.tar.gz sources1.tar.gz
to create a console only puppy distribution.
I am using the the 2.4.22 kernel because that is the one that is extracted when i do
tar -xvzf puppy.tar.gz
So I built a 2.4.22 kernel on RedHat 8 and then ran createpuppy0. If createpuppy0 is only used with sources0 then one is supposed to produce a console puppy.
I went away from using puppy_unleashed because I need (a) a minimal console distribution and (b) because I want to include my own kernel modules developed from source.
Using the above (old) method all I have to is place my modules in /lib/modules.
Is there a better way of doing this?

There's nothing to stop you from doing that with Unleashed.

Awakening also provides players with an increased level cap as well as more than 50 new spells and talents and even two new specializations per class. The new specializations become active at level 22 (when a third specialization point is awarded - they're supposed to unlock at 20 but don't) and include Spirit Warrior and Guardian (Warriors), Keeper and Battlemage (Mages), and Legionnaire Scout and Shadow (Rogues). These new specializations add nice bonuses and open up cool new powers so you'll be able to further customize your PCs to the higher level of play. What's more, weapons have become more powerful too; an additional two tiers of equipment quality have been included. Additionally, there are new consumables, coatings, traps, recipes, grenades, etc. that can be found and fabricated.
In terms of presentation, Awakening is every bit as good as Dragon Age Origins. While one would expect this to be the case graphically (because they use the same engine), it was nice that the care was taken for both the voice acting and the storytelling aspects; I enjoyed the new recruits as well as the new plot as much or more as I did the predecessor's.
When it comes right down to it, you're going to have to decide whether it's worth it to you to extend the Dragon Age experience out another 20+ hours per play-through for $40 and change. After all, you're essentially getting the exact same game you already put 60-80 hours into, with a new story and only a few extra bells and whistles to keep things fresh. For me, I really felt Awakening helped the game come into its own. I've had enough of a pause in between play sessions that my interest was instantly rekindled. Also, the higher tier of play made things feel a bit more epic.
BioWare makes great games; there's no doubt about it. Their games are so compelling, in fact, that gamers are willing to shell out a significant amount of extra cash to extend the experience. I think if BioWare can continually put out expansions of this quality, players will likely buy at least one or two more of them. That being said, I'm not sure how many more expansions we'll see in the near future; a teaser card emblazoned with the now iconic blood dragon was included within the expansion case, hinting at a date of February 1, 2011. Whether this will be Dagon Age 2 or simply another massive expansion remains to be seen, but whatever it is, we're anxious for more.

US county halts smuggling prosecutions
PHOENIX (AP) — Arizona's most populous county halted prosecutions of both smugglers and those being smuggled on Monday.
The freeze came after U.S. District Judge Robert Broomfield ruled Friday that a 2005 state law doesn't allow Sheriff Joe Arpaio or county prosecutors to charge immigrants with conspiracy to smuggle themselves across the border. Broomfield said the policy criminalizes actions that federal law treats as a civil matter.
"It is hard to imagine a more blatant conflict than that," he said Friday in his 60-page ruling.
Maricopa County Attorney Bill Montgomery said the judge's order doesn't specifically bar prosecutions of smugglers, but the top county prosecutor said he cannot ethically allow any prosecutions under the law because Broomfield's reasoning for his ruling may have broader implications. A lawyer for the county, Tim Casey, said it will ask Broomfield to clarify the scope of his ruling while the county considers whether to appeal.
Montgomery said the freeze applies until a federal court explicitly allows prosecutions under the smuggling law.
Seventy-five percent of the approximately 1,800 people charged under the smuggling law in Maricopa County through June 2011 were facing counts of conspiring to sneak themselves into the country.
That drew complaints from immigrant rights advocates that the statute was intended for often-violent smugglers, not their customers, and that the prosecution policy was pre-empted by federal immigration law.
"The federal courts are clearly saying that states have no role in protecting their own borders," said Casey Holguin, a lawyer for the activists who challenged the policy.
Attorneys defending Maricopa County and Arpaio argued that the interpretation didn't conflict with federal law. They also pointed out that Arizona law allows people to be convicted of conspiracy, even when they can't be convicted of the underlying crime itself.
The state smuggling law was passed in 2005 as lawmakers responded to voter frustration over Arizona's role as the nation's busiest immigrant smuggling hub. It was followed in 2010 with a wide-ranging statute that inspired similar laws in Alabama, Georgia, Indiana, South Carolina and Utah.
Several weeks after the smuggling law took effect in August 2005, Maricopa County's then-top prosecutor issued a legal opinion that said immigrants suspected of using smugglers to enter the country illegally can be charged as conspirators. Maricopa County is the only county in the state to use the conspirator interpretation for the smuggling law.
State courts upheld the legal interpretation of then-Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas, but critics continued their fight in federal court.
The suit challenging the policy was dismissed, but the case was revived in July 2010, when an appeals court ruled that a trial judge erred in dismissing organizations and taxpayers who challenged the prosecution tactic.
Those pushing the lawsuit — the Arizona Hispanic Community Forum, the Hispanic civil rights group Somos America, former Democratic state Sen. David Lujan of Phoenix, and Arizona State University professor LaDawn Haglund — weren't seeking monetary damages. Instead, they asked Broomfield to declare the policy unconstitutional and bar county prosecutors and Arpaio's agency from bringing conspiracy cases forward.
Fighting illegal immigration has been a central part of Arpaio's political identity over the past seven years as he argued the federal government wasn't doing enough. But Arpaio's immigration enforcement powers have been sapped since October 2009, when Washington stripped some of his officers of their power to make federal immigration arrests. Arpaio continued by enforcing Arizona's smuggling law and another state immigration law.
In a separate racial-profiling case in federal court, a judge in May ruled that Arpaio's department had systematically singled out Latinos in its immigration patrols.

Moyer Magic
Just when it looks like Jamie Moyer might fold, like after allowing 9 runs in one inning in his last start, he comes out firing again. In 8 innings against the Yankees tonight, Moyer gave up two solo homers, a single, a walk and that is all; no other hits and no other base runners.
The 47-year old Moyer simply does not let a bad start get him down. It is a really amazing thing to see.
Moyer's great performance came on the anniversary of his major league debut, June 16, 1986. Yankee batters had an eye-popping experience as they were mowed down by Moyer's slow-motion pitches.
AJ Burnett pitched for the Yanks and as his history dictates, he either runs hot or cold. Luckily for a sleepy Phils offense, Burnett was running cold tonight. They took advantage and scored six runs off him.
There were many things that occurred tonight which Phillies fans have not seen in a long time:
– Ryan Howard and Jayson Werth hit homers.
– Those homers were of the back-to-back variety.
– A triple! A'la Shane Victorino :O)
– Raul Ibanez stole a base; last time that happened was May 2009.
– Greg Dobbs got a hit – Dobbs has only 10 hits all season so far.
– Wilson Valdez avoided hitting into a double play; Valdez has grounded into 10 double plays this year in only 25 games started and 34 games played total.
– Jamie Moyer pitched at least 8 innings for only the 3rd time this year in 13 starts.
– Smiles from the Phillies players.
– I watched a Phillies game through 8 innings without screaming cuss words at the TV or downing a bottle of Tums. This is a real accomplishment. However, I do not want to talk about the 9th inning…
And I suppose a win is something we have not seen much of this past month either so, hallelujah for that! The 6-3 win was capped off by Brad Lidge in the 9th who ran into some trouble, allowing a run in the inning. He also managed to get two runners on base and bring the tying run to the plate with two outs. But finally, he struck out Jorge Posada and ended it. Whew!
Kyle Kendrick will pitch in the finale of the series tomorrow night at 7:05pm. If he can gather some inspiration from Moyer's comeback and the offense can pick it up, a win is possible. Cross your fingers and toes…

Sure, Worms is already out on the PlayStation Store here in North America, but who are we to deny the readership "new" screens of the PlayStation 3 version of Worms.
Frankly, we didn't make a big deal of Worms' release on the PlayStation Store, but we're trying to make it up to Team 17. Besides, it's not often we get to put adorable snowmen on the front page of Kotaku. Consider this more of a reminder that your hard-earned US$12.99 can score you a digital copy of the recent PSN release.
Europe, you're getting it within the next week or so. So hype yourself with new media.

In Stock. There are many, many band collections in print that allow the director to use "mix and match" instrumentation to fit a particular ensemble. However, the existing publications are at the Grade 1 or 2 levels, so they do not address the needs of students from small high schools (or from fledgling programs) where there might only be ten to fifteen band members, but each one of them is capable of playing Grade 3-4 music. "Concert Ensembles for Everyone" is specifically designed to fill this need. In "Concert Ensembles," Peter Blair uses a unique "overlapping" method of arranging, so all the necessary parts can be covered by a wide variety of possible ensemble instrumentations. There are four overlapping woodwind parts, four overlapping brass parts, a bass part that may be played by any instrument that reads (or sounds) in the bass clef, and percussion.

DSPcDual specificity phosphatase, catalytic domain
|SMART accession number:
|Interpro abstract (IPR020422):
Protein tyrosine (pTyr) phosphorylation is a common post-translational modification which can create novel recognition motifs for protein interactions and cellular localisation, affect protein stability, and regulate enzyme activity. Consequently, maintaining an appropriate level of protein tyrosine phosphorylation is essential for many cellular functions. Tyrosine-specific protein phosphatases (PTPase; EC 188.8.131.52) catalyse the removal of a phosphate group attached to a tyrosine residue, using a cysteinyl-phosphate enzyme intermediate. These enzymes are key regulatory components in signal transduction pathways (such as the MAP kinase pathway) and cell cycle control, and are important in the control of cell growth, proliferation, differentiation and transformation [(PUBMED:9818190), (PUBMED:14625689)]. The PTP superfamily can be divided into four subfamilies [(PUBMED:12678841)]:
Based on their cellular localisation, PTPases are also classified as:
All PTPases carry the highly conserved active site motif C(X)5R (PTP signature motif), employ a common catalytic mechanism, and share a similar core structure made of a central parallel beta-sheet with flanking alpha-helices containing a beta-loop-alpha-loop that encompasses the PTP signature motif [(PUBMED:9646865)]. Functional diversity between PTPases is endowed by regulatory domains and subunits.
This entry represents dual specificity protein-tyrosine phosphatases. Ser/Thr and Tyr dual specificity phosphatases are a group of enzymes with both Ser/Thr (EC 220.127.116.11) and tyrosine specific protein phosphatase (EC 22.214.171.124) activity able to remove both the serine/threonine or tyrosine-bound phosphate group from a wide range of phosphoproteins, including a number of enzymes which have been phosphorylated under the action of a kinase. Dual specificity protein phosphatases (DSPs) regulate mitogenic signal transduction and control the cell cycle. The crystal structure of a human DSP, vaccinia H1-related phosphatase (or VHR), has been determined at 2.1 angstrom resolution [(PUBMED:8650541)]. A shallow active site pocket in VHR allows for the hydrolysis of phosphorylated serine, threonine, or tyrosine protein residues, whereas the deeper active site of protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) restricts substrate specificity to only phosphotyrosine. Positively charged crevices near the active site may explain the enzyme's preference for substrates with two phosphorylated residues. The VHR structure defines a conserved structural scaffold for both DSPs and PTPs. A "recognition region" connecting helix alpha1 to strand beta1, may determine differences in substrate specificity between VHR, the PTPs, and other DSPs.
These proteins may also have inactive phosphatase domains, and dependent on the domain composition this loss of catalytic activity has different effects on protein function. Inactive single domain phosphatases can still specifically bind substrates, and protect again dephosphorylation, while the inactive domains of tandem phosphatases can be further subdivided into two classes. Those which bind phosphorylated tyrosine residues may recruit multi-phosphorylated substrates for the adjacent active domains and are more conserved, while the other class have accumulated several variable amino acid substitutions and have a complete loss of tyrosine binding capability. The second class shows a release of evolutionary constraint for the sites around the catalytic centre, which emphasises a difference in function from the first group. There is a region of higher conservation common to both classes, suggesting a new regulatory centre [(PUBMED:14739250)].

As had been rumored, Apple today started selling a version of its iPhone 5C with only 8 gigabytes of memory. Aimed at budget buyers, this new iteration is being offered by some European carriers for free on contract. With a contract, it's selling for £429 in the U.K., at £40 less than the 16-GB model.
While this lower-capacity 5C has yet to show up on Apple's U.S. site, that could happen later today.
Apple is clearly looking for sales at the very low end of the market, where it currently dangles the older iPhone 4S as bait. But by offering an iPhone 5C with only 8 GB of storage, it's not doing customers who would buy it any favors.
That's because, typically, iOS 7 eats up almost 4 GB of space all on its own, before adding any apps or media. The UK tech blog Which? looked at different smartphones earlier this year to see just how much available space each has out of the box. A 16-GB iPhone 5C has 12.6 GB, which means 3.4 is taken up by the operating system and preinstalled apps.
If you apply that figure to an 8-GB 5C, you're left with a paltry 4.6 GB. Most people I know with 16-GB iPhones struggle with managing available space, so an 8-GB model would be even more agonizing as you add music, photos, videos and documents. The 8-GB iPhone 5C thus comes with an extra "feature" – the frustration of coping with inadequate storage.
In addition, Apple also began selling a 16-GB, fourth-generation iPad with Retina Display to replace the older iPad 2 as a budget offering. The Wi-Fi-only model sells for $399; add 4G cellular capability and the price goes to $429. This is the same 9.7-inch iPad that was replaced last year by the iPad Air. The only change from the original is that it uses the smaller, Lightning connector rather than the old 30-pin one.
I was surprised when Apple didn't ditch the iPad 2 for the third- or fourth-gen model with the introduction of the iPad Air. The company may have kept the older model around for better margins, or because of supply constraints on Retina displays. Whatever the reason, it's good to see Apple has finally moved on.
Update: The 8-GB 5C won't be sold in the U.S., but rather only in five overseas markets, Re/code reports. Apple offered a an explanation for a cheaper, low-capacity device:
"The mid-tier iPhone segment is growing year over year and the 8GB model provides a more affordable option for markets where LTE is becoming more established," an Apple representative told Re/code. The iPhone 5c, unlike the iPhone 4s, which is also still sold, supports LTE networks.

As our family began the journey to Germany's Black Forest, or Schwarzwald as it is locally known, we felt a little like we were heading into the Bermuda Triangle.
When we entered the co-ordinates for the farmhouse accommodation we had reserved into our GPS, it indicated we would be travelling in a restricted access area and that we should simply follow the directional arrow while it computed a travel route. Unfortunately, the directional arrow was telling us to drive the wrong way down a one-way street.
Germany's Black Forest conjures images of a wild, isolated place- a dense woodland where no GPS could ever have gone before - a place where little girls encounter Big Bad Wolves and young women live happily with merry little dwarfs who work in diamond mines. Even though tales of the Brothers Grimm seem to indicate that the Black Forest is no place for the faint-hearted, once we finally managed to locate the remote farmhouse accommodation we had reserved in the heart of the region, we soon realized the Black Forest is neither as inaccessible nor as wild as we had imagined. This might explain why it is rapidly becoming one of the most popular family travel destinations in all of Germany.
Our farmhouse accommodation was located in the picturesque hills outside the village of Schonach and it seemed as if we were travelling back in time as we made our way there.
Quaint farmhouses supporting tiny farms were nestled in hollows between thickly forested areas. Each farmhouse we encountered was built entirely of Black Forest wood - from the foundation beams to the wood-shingled roofs - a style of building construction that has endured for centuries.
After unloading our gear, we explored the countryside on foot - passing a few sheep and horses and wandering along trails inside the forest itself. It was easy to see why this beautiful landscape has inspired so many fairy tales.
The first travellers visited this region 19 centuries ago when the Roman emperor Caracalla and his army rested near the natural springs that later became BadenBaden. They referred to these thickly forested mountains as Silva Nigra, or Black Forest, because the dense growth of conifers blocked much of the light inside the forest. Little evidence of their visit remains - except the name they gave to the woods.
Over several days, we explored the villages that support this region of the Black Forest.
The area near Schonach and Triberg is famous as the birthplace of the cuckoo clock and at one time half of all the clocks sold in the world came from the Black Forest. There are several museums that describe the history of clock-making and how the cuckoo clock evolved. The best of these museums is found in Furtwangen, where the younger visitors in our group not only learned about the history of timepieces, they had the chance to make their own.
In the villages near the area where we stayed, we explored local shops selling cuckoo clocks, wood carvings, music boxes and other crafts. We listened to oompah-pah bands, tasted the original Black Forest Cake, ate Wiener schnitzel, played minigolf and swam in icy-cold local swimming pools.
To take in the natural beauty of the region, we rode on horseback through the hills, hiked to the top of Germany's highest waterfalls, and wandered along dark-forested trails.
Germany's Black Forest is not as remote as it once was, but is definitely unlike any other place you might visit in the country.
The region has managed to preserve its cultural identity in the wake of globalization and mass tourism. Even today, people are welcoming and friendly, but few speak English - including the owner of our accommodation.
Internet access is tough to find, cellphone reception is sketchy and even though ATMs are available in each community, few businesses and restaurants take credit cards.
As we set the co-ordinates for the Black Forest into our GPS, we could tell that we were heading a little off the beaten path, but we could never have predicted just how much adventure lay ahead.
If You Go
- We flew Condor Air from Calgary to Frankfurt and rented a car to drive to Schonach. The drive takes about three hours and a GPS is highly recommended.
- The Black Forest region has plenty of natural attractions and is an economical destination for families. A package that includes seven night's accommodation and four passes to the Europa theme park (the German version of Disneyland in the Schwarzwald region) will cost just under $600 for a family of four and can be booked through Schonach Tourism at firstname.lastname@example.com.
- Those who stay at any accommodation in the Ferienland Region (including the towns of Triberg, Schonach, Schönwald, Furtwangen, and St. Georgen) also receive a Konus Guest Pass for free use of public transportation in the region, free entrance to several key attractions, free minigolf at three different locations, and free swimming in the indoor and outdoor pools found in five towns in the region. In winter, the pass provides free access to area ski lifts.
- For more information on visiting Germany, check out the official tourism website of the German National Tourism Board at: www.cometogermany.com. For specific information on the Ferienland region of the Black Forest, visit: www.dasferienland.de/e/.
The Condor Experience
- On June 23, Condor Airlines began offering direct seasonal service twice weekly from Calgary to Frankfurt, Germany. The German airline, which is a subsidiary of Thomas Cook Airlines, has been in operation since 1955 and currently has 34 aircraft in its fleet servicing 77 destinations worldwide. In Canada, Condor offers direct air service from Frankfurt to Calgary, Vancouver, Halifax, and Whitehorse through mid-October.
- We were very impressed with the quality of service on our recent Condor flights. Condor offers three levels of service on longhaul flights - economy, premium economy and comfort class and pricing for the premium economy and comfort class can be substantially lower than comparable business or first class service on other airlines. For reservations or information, visit: www.condor.com or call 1-866-960-7915.

Theatrics = Collaborative Video Storytelling
I'm thrilled to be involved with the launch of the beta version of a new collaborative video storytelling platform from Theatrics.com
The product features tools that allow a storyteller or a brand to involve the audience in the creative process while providing a host of communications and management features unavailable on other platforms.
Theatrics is throwing open the doors to storytellers and brands who'd like to experiment with this truly unique collaborative storytelling cloud-based software available.
The goal of the beta is to develop ground-breaking online interactive video productions that will engage their users -- customers, employees, fans, and audience members – in content creation. Use of the platform will be free during the beta trial.
I'm working with Theatrics and prospective users of the platform to help build exciting new experiences. If you've got an idea, please email me or signup on the site to get a feel for the tools. Just as Wordpress is a tool set for bloggers, Theatrics is a toolset for video-based storytellers. Here are some of the ideas from companies we're working with:
- A successful web video series wants to invite fans to create their own characters that perform and live in a new fictionalized storyworld
- A documentary filmmaker wants to conduct a contest for audience members to tell their own stories in video and still images
- A franchise chain wants to create a new application that its affiliates can sell to customers featuring video tributes
- A national brand with a salesforce in the tens of thousands wants to build a hub where they can share stories and inspiration
- A sci-fi series wants to provide CG backgrounds for fans to use in creating their own in-story characters
- A meetup group wants to challenge its members to co-create a new story and a new storyworld.
As Theatrics CEO Biff Van Cleve puts it: "Generation C is as comfortable with creating content as consuming it, so the Theatrics video storytelling platform taps into millions of people who are shooting and sharing video on a daily basis, enabling creators to engage their audiences to tell stories in exciting new ways."
Theatrics.com provides creators the opportunity to establish a story world, characters, and plot and the audience to participate by uploading video and blog posts as personas they create themselves. The process is seamless and easy to use. Additionally, the platform offers a second screen experience for studios and networks to give fans the opportunity to engage directly with their favorite shows and films – to actually create and play a character in an on-going, online story world.
About Theatrics
With offices in Houston and Los Angeles, Theatrics.com is an interactive entertainment company offering a collaborative video storytelling platform that easily enables creators to incorporate and manage user generated content. The Theatrics.com toolset provides creators the ability to push the boundaries of storytelling by controlling the story, characters, and vision, while the audience adds their own creativity by performing in the show and interacting with the story and other users. Theatrics partnered with USA Network for the launch of PSYCH The S#cial Sector and produced its first series, Beckinfield, as proof of concept.

ummm, if you're asking about the fansub, it doesn't exist yet. I'm not sure which fansubs have agreed to do it yet.
Asking for locations of untranslated raw episodes is expressly forbidden by the forum rules (which you might ought to read if you haven't). Hopefully you weren't asking for that.

I praise them for managing to make the designs look as close to the manga as possible. This really looks beautiful, but so beautiful any slight change in the animation will cause a disaster. Looks very promising indeed so hope the quality keeps up

The animation quality is stellar! It resembles so closely to the manga that makes me squee in delight. I hope this quality in character and background details keep for the rest of the series. (And I hope the series is long. I don't like very long anime series but for once, I actually want this series to be long. XD) One major thing about the anime that I totally love is the animation of the eye colour - changing to blood red in their blood-thirst mode. That's something you can't get from a static black & white manga.
All the seiyuu fit perfectly to each character. When VK was announced to be animated, I was afraid of what type of voices Kaname and Zero will be given - especially when I found out that Kaname's voice will be played by the same seiyuu as Yunoki in La Corda since I didn't like his voice there but now I see that he made slight changes that fit perfectly for Kaname. WHOO!...they are PERFECT! I pretty much imagined Kaname to have that smooth, soft, silky tone with an undertone of darkness. Very nice. And Zero's voice is beyond excellent.
The comedy was well-placed. Unlike some anime where the serious tones are abruptly interrupted by comedy, VK did the transitions between seriousness and comedy quite smoothly. I love the principal's expression when he got his desk fixed by Yuuki.
The music...I'll be the first in line to get it when the OST is out. I love the OP. I think it fits quite well. And the ED theme is quite good too, providing a darker feel to the closure of each episode.
Overall, the first episode meets my expectations and had me melting with all the hot bishies
It starts off slightly light-hearted but gets darker as the story progresses - you can already sense the underlying tone in this first episode.

I don't know how Clan/Kuran is actually written in Japanese or how that's interpreted into English but based just on listening to what they say, I think Kuran is a Japanese mis-pronunciation of Clan; since Japanese people can't say "Cl" without adding a vowel sound in between the two letters. Sort of like how Yuuki Cross is pronounced (and sometimes spelled as it is pronounced) as Kurossu (or something like that).
I'm just going to go with Clan for the anime, since that's the official spelling apparently.

Well, not a big fan of the VK manga, so not particularly looking forward to this series, though I'm definitely going to watch it. The artwork though is very good. As good as the artwork should have been for Special A. I really wish the guys had switched studios. Would have much rather seen a dynamite S.A then an outstanding VK. But then thats just me.

I actually recently discovered this manga and read up to chapter 38. I am very excited it is going to be animated as well I hope that the anime sticks close with the manga. Lately, I've been disappointed with certain anime based off manga, and the huge changes they make, that basically ruin the series for me in anime form

Although I suppose one can say "Kaname comes from 'Clan' family". Let's just hope that if there's group feud in the story, it'd be between different families of vampires instead of different clans of vampires.

Starless & Bible Black are :
Starless & Bible Black are a Manchester band drawing musical lines between torch song, bluesy chanson, vintage folk-jazz and early electronic music. Built around the three core members of Hélène Gautier; Peter Philipson; and Raz Ullah, the band have played a succession of shows around the UK both as a stripped down three piece and as a six piece with Paul Blakesley, Brian Edwards and Ros Hawley (clarinet).
After releasing their first EP on their own Timbreland Recordings label, the band was spotted by Chicago based label Locust Music and they agreed an album deal in early 2006.
While some may assume that their name is taken from the 1974 King Crimson album, it is actually inspired by the classic 1965 recording by Stan Tracey that in turn is lifted from a line in Dylan Thomas' Under Milk Wood.
