Y'all, in case you forgot in between last week and now, it is still National Soup Month!
(What?! You've already forgotten this momentous occasion? Here's a link to last week's post.)
Ok, you may not be as stoked as I am about this fact, but it's cold outside, I like to cook, and I'm just ever-so-slightly opportunistic when it comes to topics to blog about. So….. let Part 2 of National Soup Month commence!
This week: Teresa's Clam "Chowder"
Yes, "Teresa" as in my often-discussed mother (here and here), "Clam" as in the canned kind, though feel free to get your hands dirty and use the fresher stuff, and "'Chowder,'" as in more like a cross between a soup and a chowder (not as creamy like the Boston stuff, but still delicious with a bit of a Cajun kick), thus the quotation marks.
Here's a recipe for you Pinning or printing pleasure!

HARVARD – Harvard police are looking at a former District 50 employee in the misuse of district funds.
Details of an investigation, including how much money was misused and how long the misuse went on, remain blurry. D-50 Spokesman Bill Clow declined to comment on the terms under which the employee under investigation left the district.
"I really can't comment on Human Resource issues," Clow said.
The improper use of funds was discovered in the accounts payable department, the district said in a statement last week. The district since has taken measures to secure its financial accounts and computer network, it said.
Harvard Police Chief Dan Kazy-Garey said financial investigations tend to take time.
"We don't have the period of time yet as to how long this was going on, or any type of dollar amount," Kazy-Garey said. "That's still being investigated.
"It's not going to be a short deal," he said. "This one requires a lot of legwork."

When looking at the top goalscorers in Premier League history, you will struggle to find any defenders. Therefore, we have taken care of that with this list of the top five goalscoring defenders.
Three of these defenders are still currently active footballers. No defender has scored more than 40 goals since the initiation of the Premier League era, which may come as a surprise for some.
Statistics are according to Premierleague.com.
5. Julian Dicks | 24 goals | 134 appearances
Along with being the defender with the best goals-to-games ratio on this list, the former West Ham and Liverpool man is also the only individual among them to have recorded double figures for goals in a particular season. That particular season was in 1995/96, when he became the club's joint top scorer of the campaign.
4. William Gallas | 25 goals | 321 appearances
Being the first player to have appeared for Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham, the Frenchman has had a decent goalscoring history at the first two of his English clubs. The two-time Premier League winner had scored in each season up until he had joined the Spurs in 2010. The 35-year-old had scored the majority of his career goals at the Blues after making the move from Marseille in 2001.
3. Ian Harte | 28 goals | 238 appearances
Another player to have played at three different clubs over the course of his Premier League career, the Irishman has only scored at one of those teams - Leeds United. Ever since departing from Elland Road for another Premier League contestant, the 35-year-old failed to register any goals. The left-back currently plies his trade at Reading, who he had helped promote back into the top flight.
2. John Terry | 32 goals | 387 appearances
Having only ever played for one top-flight club in his career, the Chelsea captain currently ranks behind just one player in this chart.
He has also maintained a record of scoring in each of the past 13 seasons for the Blues. The 32-year-old experienced his greatest goal scoring season in the 2011/12 season when he netted six goals in an unsuccessful league campaign. The London-born centre-back may rank first in the future if he decides to remain at the club he joined over 15 years ago in his youth.
1. David Unsworth | 38 goals | 365 appearances
Having enjoyed 33 of his Premier League goals at Everton, the current Sheffield United assistant manager had played for five other clubs in his top-flight career. The 39-year-old played his last Premier League game in 2007 for Wigan, but is known as the highest scoring defender in its history.

Script Syntax
Scripts are syntactically valid Python with certain extra annotations and structure that are used by Wing to determine which scripts to load and how to execute them.
Only functions defined at the top level of the Python script are treated as commands, and only those that start with a letter of the alphabet. This allows the use of _ prefixed names to define utilities that are not themselves commands, and allows use of Python classes defined at the top level of script files in the implementation of script functionality.
Script Attributes
In most cases additional information about each script def is provided via function attributes that define the type of arguments the script expects, whether or not the command is available at any given time, the display name and documentation for the command, and the contexts in which the script should be made available in the GUI.
The following are supported:
- arginfo -- This defines the argument types for any arguments passed to the script. It is a dictionary from the argument name to an ArgInfo specification (described in more detail below) or a callable object that returns this dictionary. Argument information is used by Wing to drive automatic collection of argument values from the user. When this is missing, all arguments are treated as strings.
- available -- This defines whether or not the script is available. If missing, the command is always available. If set to a constant, the truth value of that constant defines availability of the script. If set to a callable object, it is invoked with the same arguments as the script itself and the return value determines availability.
- label -- The label to use when referring to the command in menus and elsewhere. When omitted, the label is derived from the command name by replacing underscores with a space and capitalizing each word (cmdname.replace('_', ' ').title())
- doc -- The documentation for the script. Usually, a docstring in the function definition is used instead.
- contexts -- The contexts in which the script will be added in the GUI, a described in more detail below.
- plugin_override -- Used in scripts that are designated as plugins to indicate that a command should be enabled even if the plugin is not. It should be set to True.
Argument information is specified using the CArgInfo class in the Wing API (wingapi.py inside bin in the Wing installation, although the class is imported from Wing's internals) and the datatype and formbuilder modules in Wing's wingutils package. The source code for this class and support modules is only available in the source distribution, although most use cases are covered by the following.
CArgInfo's contructor takes the following arguments:
- doc -- The documentation string for the argument
- type -- The data type, using one of the classes descended from wingutils.datatype.CTypeDef (see below for the most commonly used ones)
- formlet -- The GUI formlet to use to collect the argument from the user when needed. This is one of the classes descended wingutils.formbuilder.CDataGui (see below for the most commonly used ones).
- label -- The label to use for the argument when collected from the user. This argument may be omitted, in which case Wing builds the label as for the label function attribute described above.
Commonly Used Types
The following classes in wingutils.datatype.py cover most cases needed for scripting:
- CBoolean -- A boolean value. Constructor takes no arguments.
- CType -- A value of type matching one of the parameters sent to the constructor. For example, CType("") for a string, CType(1) for an integer, and CType(1.0, 1) for a float, or an integer.
- CValue -- One of the values passed to the constructor. For example CValue("one", "two", "three") to allow a value to be either "one", "two", or "three".
- CRange -- A value between the first and second argument passed to the constructor. For example, CRange(1.0, 10.0) for a value between 1.0 and 10.0, inclusive.
Additional types are defined in wingutils.datatype.py, but these are not usually needed in describing scripting arguments.
Commonly Used Formlets
The following classes in guiutils.formbuilder.py cover most of the data collection formlets needed for scripting:
CSmallTextGui -- A short text string entry area with optional history, auto-completion, and other options. The constructor takes the following keyword arguments, all of which are optional:
max_chars -- Maximum allowed text length (-1=any, default=80) history -- List of strings for history (most recent 1st) or a callable that will return the history (default=None) choices -- List of strings with all choices, or a callable that will take a fragment and return all possible matches (default=None) partial_complete -- True to only complete as far as unique match when the tab key is pressed. Default=True. stopchars -- List of chars to always stop partial completion. Default='' allow_only -- List of chars allowed for input (all others are not processed). Set to None to allow all. Default=None auto_select_choice -- True to automatically select all of the entry text when browsing on the autocompleter (so it gets erased when any typing happens). Default=False. default -- The default value to use. Default='' select_on_focus -- True to select range on focus click; false to retain pre-focus selection. Default=False editable -- True to allow editing this field. Default=True.
CLargeTextGui -- A longer text string. The constructor takes no arguments.
CBooleanGui -- A single checkbox for collecting a boolean value. The constructor takes no arguments.
CFileSelectorGui -- A keyboard-driven file selector with auto-completion, optional history, and option to browse using a standard file open dialog. The constructor takes the following keyword arguments:
want_dir -- True to browse for a directory name (instead of a file name). Default=False. history -- Optional list with history of recent choices, most recent first. Default=() default -- The default value to use. Default=''
Additional formlet types are defined in guiutils.formbuilder.py but these are not usually needed in collecting scripting arguments.
CPopupChoiceGui -- A popup menu to select from a range of values. The constructor takes a list of items for the popup. Each item may be one of:
None -- A divider string -- The value. The label used in the menu is derived: label = value.replace('_', ' ').title() (value, label) -- The value and label to use in menu. (value, label, tip) -- The value, label, and a tooltip to show when the user hovers over the menu item.
CNumberGui -- A small entry area for collecting a number. The constructor takes these arguments (all are required):
min_value -- The minimum value (inclusive) max_value -- The maximum value (inclusive) page_size -- Increment when scroller is used to browse the range num_decimals -- Number of decimal places (0 to collect an integer)
Additional formlets for collecting data are defined in guiutils.formbuilder.py, but these are not usually needed for scripting.
Magic Default Argument Values
Wing treats certain defaults values specially when they are specified for a script's arguments. When these default values are given, Wing will replace them with instances of objects defined in the API. This is a convenient way for the script to access the application, debugger, current project, current editor, and other objects in the API. All the default values are defined in the wingapi.py file, as are the classes they reference.
- kArgApplication -- The CAPIApplication instance (this is a singleton). Also accessible as wingapi.gApplication.
- kArgDebugger -- The currently active CAPIDebugger. Also accessible as wingapi.gApplication.GetDebugger().
- kArgProject -- The currently active CAPIProject. Also accessible as wingapi.gApplication.GetProject().
- kArgEditor -- The currently active CAPIEditor. Also accessible as wingapi.gApplication.GetActiveEditor().
- kArgDocument -- The CAPIDocument for the currently active editor. Also accessible as wingapi.gApplication.GetActiveDocument().
GUI Contexts
Scripts can use the contexts function attribute to cause Wing to automatically place the script into certain menus or other parts of the GUI. The following contexts are currently supported (they are defined in wingapi.py):
- kContextEditor -- Adds an item to the end of the editor's context menu (accessed by right clicking on the editor)
- kContextProject -- Adds an item to the end of the project's context menu (accessed by right clicking on the project)
- kContextNewMenu -- Adds an item to a new menu in the menu bar. This is a class whose constructor takes the localized name of the menu to add. The menu is only added if one or more valid scripts with that menu context are successfully loaded.
- kContextScriptsMenu -- Adds an item to the scripts menu, which is shown in the menu bar if any scripts are added to it (this is currently the same as kContextNewMenu("Scripts") but may be moved in the future).
All scripts, under both short and fully qualified name, are always listed along with all internally defined commands in the auto-completion list presented by the Command by Name item in the Edit menu, and in the Custom Key Bindings preference.
Top-level Attributes
Default values for some of the Script Attributes defined above can be set at the top level of the script file, and some additional attributes are also supported:
- _arginfo -- The default argument information to use when no per-script arginfo attribute is present.
- _available -- The default availability of scripts when no available attribute is present.
- _contexts -- The default contexts in which to add scripts when no contexts attribute is present.
- _ignore_scripts -- When set to True, Wing will completely ignore this script file.
- _i18n_module -- The name of the gettext internationalized string database to use when translating docstrings in this script. See below for more information.
- _plugin -- This indicates that the script is a plugin that can be selectively enabled and disabled either according to IDE state or by the user in preferences. See below for more information.
Importing Other Modules
Scripts can import other modules from the standard library, wingapi (the API), and even from Wing's internals. However, because of the way in which Wing loads scripts, users should avoid importing one script file into another. If this is done, the module loaded at the import will not be the same as the one loaded into the scripting manager. This happens because the scripting manager uniquifies the module name by prepending internal_script_ so two entries in sys.modules will result. In practice, this is not always a problem except if global data at the top level of the script module is used as a way to share data between the two script modules. Be sure to completely understand Python's module loading facility before importing one script into another.
Internationalization and Localization
String literals and docstrings defined in script files can be flagged for translation using the gettext system. To do this, the following code should be added before any string literals are used:
import gettext _ = gettext.translation('scripts_example', fallback=1).gettext _i18n_module = 'scripts_example'
The string 'scripts_example' should be replaced with the name of the .mo translation file that will be added to the resources/locale localization directories inside the Wing installation.
Subsequently, all translatable strings are passed to the _() function as in this code example:
kMenuName = _("Test Base")
The separate _i18n_module attribute is needed to tell Wing how to translate docstrings (which cannot be passed to _()).
Currently, the only support provided by Wing for producing the *.po and *.mo files used in the gettext translation system is in the build system that comes with the Wing Pro sources. Please refer to build-files/wingide.py and build-files/README.txt for details on extracting strings, merging string updates, and compiling the *.mo files. On Linux, KDE's kbabel is a good tool for managing the translations.
When a script contains the _plugin attribute at the top level, it is treated as a plugin that can enable/disable itself as a whole and/or be enabled/disabled by the user in preferences.
When _plugin is present, it contains (name, _activator_cb) where name is the display name of the plugin and activator_cb is a function minimally defined as follows for a plugin that is always enabled:
def _activator_cb(plugin_id): wingapi.gApplication.EnablePlugin(plugin_id, True) return True
The _activator_cb can also selectively enable the script by any code that accesses the Wing scripting API. For example, it could set up an instance that connects to signals in the API and calls wingapi.gApplication.EnablePlugin() to enable or disable itself according to project contents, file type in active editor, etc.
When a plugin is inactive, none of its commands are available and any added menus or menu items its adds to the GUI are removed. Plugins may denote particular commands as always available even when the plugin is inactive by setting the _plugin_override function attribute to True.
If the user disables a plugin in the Tools menu, this prevents loading of the plugin, and thus overrides _activator_cb and any _plugin_override attributes for the plugin.

Milan 2014: Dezeen has teamed up with design research collaborative Space Caviar to distribute a free publication generated by an algorithmic journalism machine which will trawl content from social media and talks in Milan this week.
Led by former Domus editor Joseph Grima, Space Caviar has developed a real-time publishing algorithm called Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) a piece of software that will automatically create written articles from live speech and social media streams during a three-day programme of talks held in the Nike Aero-static Dome at Palazzo Clerici this week.
The FOMO publications will be printed and handed out for free from a travelling press room, but will be available to download from Dezeen.
"Inspired by the idea - as Bruce Sterling said - that "events are the new magazines", FOMO asks whether there is a remedy for the syndrome of missing out," said Space Caviar co-founder Joseph Grima. "Can the seemingly dead medium of print publishing adapt to the electronic ages demand for instant gratification by embracing the speed of Twitter streams, Storify and various other social media?"
FOMO will use voice recognition software, combined with information scraped from online data including tweets and instagram activity using the hashtag #OnTheFlyMilan, to automatically generate a PDF document.
This is will then be published on the FOMObile a roving publishing press with its own built-in power generator and solar-powered wi-fi hotspot. The press will print each PDF, which will be saddle stitched on the spot before being distributed for free. The PDF will also be available to download from Dezeen.

DALLAS — An aide says former President George W. Bush is "doing great" while recovering from a heart procedure at a Dallas hospital and should be going home soon.
Spokesman Freddy Ford says the 43rd president is expected to be discharged Wednesday. He would not give a specific time.
Doctors at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital on Tuesday inserted a stent to help prop open an artery. The blockage was discovered Monday during Bush's annual physical at a clinic in Dallas, where he lives.
Ford says the 67-year-old former president is expected to resume his normal schedule by Thursday.
Bush has a reputation as a fitness buff and is known to enjoy jogging, riding bicycles and doing other exercise to keep in shape.

I think the "blond" in the title must refer to the icing as the ginger cake is the usual colour. It was the icing that sold this one to me as I've never made buttercream with golden syrup in it before...and yes, it was as delicious as you'd expect! Picasso had his Blue and Rose Periods; I'm going through a buttercream period – it may last some time!
The other unusual ingredient is lager. I have used lager in gingerbread before (in my pre-blog days) and found it lightened the batter; it's not really dissimilar in concept to using lager or beer in batter for fish and chips or tempura batter. The recipe only requires a tiny amount of lager and if, like me, you hate waste ensure you have a lager drinker on standby to consume the rest!
Here you can see the light, open texture of the cake:
I probably use ginger more than any other spice but I know I'm not alone in this – whenever I post a ginger cake it always becomes one of the most popular recipes. At this time of year when it's cold, grey and wet the warmth that ginger gives is most welcome!
If you make this cake in advance of eating, the flavour matures and the top goes deliciously sticky. I recommend making the cake one or two days before you intend to serve, then make the buttercream on the day.
For the cake:
110g light muscovado sugar
110g unsalted butter
30g golden syrup
55g runny honey
225g plain flour
½ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
2 teaspoons ground ginger
2 eggs
2 tablespoons lager (I used stella artois)
For the buttercream:
100g unsalted butter, at room temperature
90g icing sugar
1 teaspoon golden syrup
How to make:
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/fan oven 160°C/350°F/Gas mark 4.
- Line a 900g loaf tin with baking paper.
- Place the sugar, butter, golden syrup and honey in a saucepan over a gentle heat until all the ingredients have melted leaving a smooth thick paste. Stir occasionally to ensure that there are no lumps.
- Put the flour, bicarbonate of soda and ginger into a large mixing bowl and combine.
- Pour the melted ingredients into the flour and stir well. At this point, the mix will be very thick and won't actually look much in volume.
- Beat in the eggs.
- Add the lager. You will now have a runny batter with lots of air in it.
- Pour the batter into the prepared tin and bake for 50-55 minutes or until a skewer comes out cleanly. Mine took 50 minutes.
- Leave the cake to cool for 15 minutes in the tin before turning out and leaving to cool completely on a wire rack. Once cool, the cake can be kept for several days in an airtight container.
- When required, make the buttercream: whisk the butter until it's very light and fluffy.
- Whisk in the icing sugar until the mixture looks almost like a mousse.
- Whisk in the golden syrup.
- Spread the buttercream over the top of the cake.
- Bask in glory at the wonderful thing you have made.
- Eat.

Jim Sparks, new principal of South Davidson Middle School, spoke to the Silver Valley Civitan Club on Aug.26, the evening of the first day for students in the county. Assistant Principal Crystal Sexton also attended the meeting.
Jim Sparks, new principal of South Davidson Middle School, spoke to the Silver Valley Civitan Club on Aug.26, the evening of the first day for students in the county. Assistant Principal Crystal Sexton also attended the meeting.
Sparks noted that the 400 students will focus on two things during the coming year. One will be on preparing themselves for the goal of graduating from high school in a few short years. The main academic focus will be improving reading skills for all students. Sparks stated that reading was a weakness from prior testing and that every teacher would be a reading teacher.
The principal reported that the school had strong parent support with many signing up for the Parents-Teachers Organization. Sparks described technology and how it is currently used in the classroom.
Sparks served as an assistant principal the past four years at East Davidson High School. He has been in education 14 years and retiring with 20 years of service in the United States Army. Sparks was a member of the elite unit known as Delta Force and was engaged in special operations.
A native of Detroit, Mich., Sparks' military career took him to many stations including Washington State, where he retired and entered education. He established an alternative school in Erie, Penn., before moving to North Carolina.
Eat with the Civitan club at the local fair
The main upcoming event for the Civitan club is the annual Davidson County Agricultural Fair opening Sept. 16 for a week of fun and food. They will operate a food concession for a 19th consecutive year, having begun in 1995.
Please have lunch at the fair. There is no charge to enter the gates for lunch Monday through Friday.
People may support their community and enjoy fine food. The traditional menu will continue with the best in hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken, polish sausage, country ham, pinto beans and much more. The booth will be staffed entirely by volunteers with all proceeds being used for Civitan service efforts including Project Santa.
First responders honored at churches
This past Sunday was the Strength for Service to God and Community Observance at many local churches. The heart of service is putting others first, even when it can potentially mean devastating personal loss.
On Sept. 8, first responders in the Denton and surrounding communities were invited to local United Methodist Churches for a special day of worship organized to honor and thank them … our community servants who focus on the greater good over private gain.
Members of the fire department, police department and EMS units were encouraged to visit one of the local churches taking part in this service so that they could be recognized and given a token of appreciation.
We want to thank everyone that attended and most of all thank you for your service to each of our communities. A job well done!
Churches combine efforts to help
Pleasant Grove and Tabernacle United Methodist churches will be providing a meal for the Open Hands Ministry, a new UMC outreach in Lexington, on Oct. 7. They will be providing soup and sandwich meal and after the meal will be a worship service. The meet at Wesley Heights UMC at 6:30 p.m. You are invited to attend this new Ministry to enjoy the food and fellowship.

Kightlinger's Film to Be Screened at International Film Festival
Paper People, a film by Andrew Kightlinger '08, has been selected to be screened at the Palm Springs International ShortFest, set for June 18-24.
Filmed entirely during the spring of 2012 in Pierre, S.D., Paper People will be shown at Camelot Theatres on Friday, June 21, as part of the Changing Lanes Program of the festival.
The Palm Springs International ShortFest, now in its 19th year, is one of the largest showcases of short films in North America. The festival will show 330 films, including 70 World Premieres, 55 North American Premieres and 14 U.S. Premieres. As an Academy-qualifying festival, first-place winners in four categories will automatically become eligible for consideration by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) for a possible Academy Award nomination.
"Attending Palm Springs is an opportunity to cultivate relationships with filmmakers on a global scale," Kightlinger said. "This is a huge festival for us and it is a little daunting. As South Dakotans, we've done half the job of standing out, but we must also represent South Dakota in a way that reflects our artistic 'oomph' and driven work ethic."
Paper People is an 18-minute short film Kightlinger wrote and directed. The film tells the tale of wounded souls in search of respite, featuring a suicidal ex-Marine, a single mother and her precocious daughter.
"People feed on hope – and this film aims to serve that hope in heaping portions," Kightlinger said. "We are absolutely elated to be bringing Paper People to an eager, wider audience, especially at such a prestigious event."
Paper People has also been screened at, among others, the Trail Dance Film Festival, the South Dakota Film Festival, the Northern Voyage Film Festival, Cinema Falls and the Black Hills Film Festival.
After Palm Springs, Kightlinger plans to release his new film Dust of War in the fall. The film was screened this year at the Marché du Film in Cannes, France, on May 21.
Kightlinger's upcoming projects include a new short film called Destroyer. The film is currently in pre-production and seeking financing. He is also producing a new feature film that will, again, be shot entirely in South Dakota.

The can begins to spin. Understanding what happens can be explained in steps: first, the twirling magnet creates an alternating magnetic field. Students can use a nearby compass to observe that the magnetic field is really changing. Second, the changing magnetic field permeates most things around it, including the aluminum can itself. A changing magnetic field will cause an electric current to flow when there is a closed loop of an electrically conducting material. Even though the aluminum can is not magnetic, it is metal and will conduct electricity. So the twirling magnet causes an electrical current to flow in the aluminum can. This is called an "induced current." Third, all electric currents create magnetic fields. So, in essence, the induced electrical current running through the can creates its very own magnetic field, making the aluminum can magnetic. This is activity four of "Exploring Magnetism."

Jesberg Wins 2009 Melges 32 North American Championship
8 September 2009
The 2009 Melges 32 North American Championship, hosted by the Sausalito Yacht Club awarded Don Jesberg (San Francisco, Calif.) on USA-162 Viva the NAC title today along with his entirely Corinthian crew of tactician Zarko Draganic, Andrew Holdsworth, Thomas Iseler, Eric Baumhoff, Stephen Marsh, Jeff Wayne and Kristen Loewenthal. In second overall, was Stephen Pugh (Sausalito, Calif.) on USA-158 Taboo and in third was John Kilroy (San Francisco, Calif.) on USA-13131 Samba Pa Ti.
For the third day in a row, racing took place under stunning conditions. Sunshine, cool temps, lots of current and breezy conditions catered to the Melges 32 fleet for completion of the eight race series.
Jim Swartz (Edgartown, Mass.) on USA-007 Q had an incredible day. His 1-2 daily finish started with a strong performance in the first race. At the start, he assumed his usual pin end pole position, blasting off the line with speed. Upwind and out to the left initially, he then covered the right for pressure. Swartz found himself in the lead at the top mark, followed by Andy Lovell (New Orleans, La.) on USA-136 Rougarou in second and Philippe Kahn (San Francisco, Calif.) on USA-166 Pegasus 32 in third. At the offset, Kahn jibed out for clean air. Despite his efforts, Swartz was too fast pulling through the gate still in the lead. Kahn caught up for second with Jesberg and Pugh chasing. Swartz held on for the win, Kahn took second and Derek Campbell (Seattle, Wash.) on USA-138 Banshee took third.
For the final race of the day and last in the eight part series, Swartz once more brought out the speed, as did Lovell. Looking really strong up the middle to the top mark, Lovell seemed to finally find his groove taking the early lead, Kahn rounding right on his transom and Swartz in third. Downwind the fleet was evenly split. As they passed through the gate the triple dual between Lovell, Kahn and Swartz intensified. On the finish leg with Swartz on the right and Lovell working the middle, Lovell barely took the gun no more than half a boat length for the win. Kahn dropped back to finish third while Jesberg and Pugh dueled across the finish, Jesberg getting the upper hand for fourth, Pugh settled for fifth.
The International Melges 32 Class Association would like to extend a sincere congratulations to Don Jesberg and team as well as all the Owners that traveled to make this event a success. Most especially, thanks again to the Sausalito Yacht Club, in particular Jeff Zarwell and Regatta Pro. The racing, as well as the off-the-water festivities were well-organized and very professional.
Just look at the results and anyone can see the ultra-competitiveness of the Melges 32. Of the seven competing teams, five won a race, five finished last and only 18 points separated first place from last. This is the high level of competition and performance that the Melges 32 promises and delivers time, and time again.
With the conclusion of the 2009 North American Championship, all eyes now turn to the opposite side of the bay to the St. Francis Yacht Club where the Melges 32 Class will race the 2009 Rolex Big Boat Series. This event will serve as the U.S. Nationals. Weigh-in takes place on Wednesday, September 9, racing starts on September 10 and finishes this Sunday, September 13.
Full Results (Final After 8 Races)
1.) Don Jesberg - 4-3-1-1-3-1-[5]-5 = 18
2.) Stephen Pugh - 2-4-3-3-1-[7]-4-4 = 21
3.) John Kilroy - 1-1-2-2-4-4-[8]-8 = 22

March 1, 2008
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Aiming to win its third straight New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) Men's Swimming and Diving Championship, the United States Coast Guard Academy increased its lead over the rest of the field on day two of competition at MIT's Zesiger Pool. After Saturday's events, and with just one day of the meet remaining, the Bears have amassed 660 points, putting them ahead of second-place MIT (592) and third-place Springfield College (487).
Saturday evening's finals session got underway with the 200-yard medley relay, which saw a trio of teams touch the wall in NCAA "B" cut qualifying times. MIT's quartet of Jeff Zhou, Rastislav Racz, Laurent Charpentier and Luke Cummings earned the Engineers maximum points with a winning mark of 1:33.02, giving all four athletes First Team All-Conference honors. Second Team accolades went to Coast Guard's crew of Timmy Berry, Jack Sauve, Nick Forni and Jim Okorn, which clocked in at 1:33.08. Roy Burch, Ryan Mackstutis, Anthony Bruno and Matt Manoni of Springfield rounded out the "B" cut qualifiers with a finish of 1:34.41.
Coast Guard's Doug Fallon then brought the crowd to its feet with a blistering NCAA "B" cut finish of 4:04.13 in the 400-yard individual medley, not only winning the Bears' senior the race, but also eclipsing his own NEWMAC Open and Championship record set at the 2006 Championships. Runner-up Jeffrey Meyer touched the wall in 4:09.76, earning WPI its first All-Conference honors of the weekend.
The 100-yard butterfly was won by Coast Guard's Forni in time of 51.31, earning the junior an NCAA "B" cut, but the event as a whole was dominated by MIT. At the time, the second-place hosts skimmed their deficit behind leaders Coast Guard from 56 points all the way down to 28 points courtesy of placing five of the race's top nine finishers. Sophomore Zhou grabbed Second Team All-Conference plaudits with a time of 51.52, while Engineers' teammates George Rossick, Deke Hu, Toomas Sepp and Brendon Sullivan finished 4th, 6th, 8th and 9th, respectively.
However, Coast Guard's lead was extended back to 40 in the next event, the 200-yard freestyle. Bears' Senior Bobby Brown won the race in spectacular fashion, reaching an NCAA "A" cut and setting NEWMAC Open, Championship and pool records with a finish of 1:39.34. Three other swimmers met the NCAA "B" cut qualifying standard in the event - runner-up Charpentier and third-place finisher Michael Dobson, both of MIT, and Coast Guard's Jack Shadwick.
Not to be outdone, MIT's sophomore sensation Racz equaled Brown's feat in the next event. The Bratislava, Slovakia native touched the wall in an NCAA "A" cut time of 56.40, setting NEWMAC Championship and pool standards in the process, while missing out on breaking his own NEWMAC Open record by just 0.04 seconds. Coast Guard's Sauve garnered Second Team All-Conference accolades with an NCAA "B" cut finish of 57.82, while Springfield's Mackstutis finished in 58.79, the exact time needed to reach the "B" standard.
Springfield's Burch, who entered the event as the fifth-seed, secured his third First Team All-Conference honor of the weekend in the 100-yard backstroke, touching the wall in 51.28, good enough for an NCAA "B" cut. Berry, of Coast Guard, notched Second Team accolades with a time of 52.44, also an NCAA "B" cut.
To finish Saturday's finals session, MIT earned its second relay victory of the evening in the 800-yard freestyle relay. Dobson, Kalvin Kao, Peter Wellings and Charpentier each garnered First Team All-Conference plaudits with an NCAA "B" cut finishing time of 6:53.31, while Coast Guard's quartet of Shadwick, Fallon, Dale Cressman and Brown made up the Second Team with a mark of 6:58.81.
The NEWMAC Championships will conclude on Sunday, with the prelims for the 200-yard backstroke, 100-yard freestyle, 200-yard breaststroke, 200-yard butterfly, 400-yard freestyle relay and 1,650-yard freestyle commencing at 11:00 a.m. The three-meter diving trials will begin at 1:30 p.m., while the finals for all of the afternoon's events will begin at 6:30 p.m.

text: It isn't unusual anymore to see the biggest names in European football feature in unknown teams in Qatar, Japan or even the United States (yes, the MLS is an insignificant dot compared to European Football) for a major cash injection to their bank account. Yet it's still a widely criticized phenomenon as football fans still find it hard to understand why the football players of the modern era prefer money over a respectful retirement at their home club or a last attempt at some trophies. So, we decided to make an article featuring the most famous players who are currently playing in one of these, how shall we put it, less significant leagues. More

The following surgical options are available to patients of the Anorectal Disorders Program:
- Artificial bowel sphincter: this procedure requires general anesthesia and several days in the hospital. Only patients with severe incontinence undergo this procedure due to relatively high rates of infection experienced with this procedure. Surgeons place an implantable silicone around the anal canal so that the patient can inflate and deflate the cuff to defecate.
- Sphincteroplasty (sphincter repair): this procedure is recommended if a patient has a distinct defect or scar in the sphincter muscle, usually caused by vaginal delivery. Using minimally invasive techniques, surgeons remove the scar and overlap the edges of the tissue around the scar. Muscles are then re-sewn and non-scarred muscles rejoined. This procedure requires general anesthesia and several days in the hospital. Full recovery from this surgery takes five weeks to three months.
- Stoma: if fecal incontinence is severe, some patients choose to have a stoma. In this procedure, surgeons put the end of the colon through the abdominal wall. Stool is then collected in a bag attached to the abdomen outside the body.

SLOVYANSK, Ukraine — An armored column of military vehicles flying a Russian flag and carrying dozens of heavily armed fighters motored into this eastern Ukrainian city early Wednesday, a day after the Ukrainian army launched an operation to clear out pro-Russian separatists who had taken control of cities in the region.
It was not immediately clear whether the men were Russian soldiers or local militants who had gotten their hands on military vehicles. A soldier on one said the unit was part of the 25th brigade of Ukraine's airborne forces that had switched sides and was joining the pro-Russian forces, but that could not be immediately confirmed.
All of the men appeared to be wearing uniforms without insignia, similar to the heavily armed uniformed men who have seized government building around the region.
Six vehicles took up positions in the center of the city outside the city council building, and dozens of men wearing military fatigues, balaclava masks and carrying automatic weapons milled around. A crowd of about 200 locals gathered around the vehicles and began cheering when one of them showed off by driving in tight circles.
The episode underscores the difficulties faced by the new government in Kiev as it seeks to regain control in the east while avoiding bloody clashes with largely civilian protesters. Some U.S. military officials have expressed concerns about the readiness of the Ukrainian armed forces for urban combat and have suggested that the deployment in the region appears disorganized.
On Tuesday, Ukraine's Acting President Oleksandr Turchynov announced that an "antiterrorist operation to take back control" of roughly 10 cities in the eastern region of Donetsk had begun. Ukrainian soldiers aboard armored personnel carriers took up positions around the region, setting up checkpoints along key roads, as transport helicopters ferried in dozens of paratroopers and elite security-service officers.
Slovyansk has emerged as the focal point of the separatist movement, in which armed militants have seized a number of government buildings, demanding a referendum on greater autonomy.
As of early Wednesday, Ukrainian troops had not yet moved into any of the cities or tried to engage the separatists. The only sign of violence was a brief clash at a military air field in Kramatorsk, about 15 kilometers south of Slovyansk, when Ukrainian soldiers fired at an armed mob of protesters who were approaching the gates of the base. Ukraine's Interior Ministry said the clash resulted in one injury, while protesters said three had been wounded.
Kiev and the West have accused Moscow of instigating the unrest in the east in a replay of actions that led to its annexation of Crimea. Russia has denied any involvement, but also warned that it is prepared to intervene to protect the interests of ethnic Russians living in Ukraine.

Congratulations on your 21st birthday!
Your 21st birthday is considered a final passage into adulthood. This birthday marks the final stage in taking responsibility in your overall health and well-being. More specifically, it's now your choice whether or not to consume alcohol.
Around the nation, 65% of people who chose to drink on their 21st birthday take responsibility in their health and make good decisions about consuming alcohol.

While 203,000 jobs added to the U.S. economy in November is welcome news, it will push interest rates higher—specifically, residential mortgage rates. Those rising rates, along with tighter underwriting and fast-rising home prices, are pushing borrowers away from larger lenders.
"If you're buying a house, our advice is to find a local lender that's reputable," said Eric Egenhoefer, president of Waterstone Mortgage, a subsidiary of Milwaukee-based WaterStone Bank, an independent with reported assets of more than $1.6 billion. "An independent company in general is more nimble, can get to a closing faster and provides better service."
An increasing number of borrowers are doing precisely that.

Thomas asks and states: "Why is this important? Very often – especially if you work at home like me – we operate in a vacuum. We have no idea what other people are using unless they mention it in an email or a blog post. Or we have to ask for a recommendation."

SPRING VALLEY – It was a hot summer morning Tuesday, and most of the streets and parks in Spring Valley were quiet as residents sought shelter from the heat.
But at Kirby Park in Spring Valley, nearly 100 children were playing, laughing and learning in the shade of the trees.
The children were participating in the fifth annual Healthy Kids Camp, sponsored by St. Margaret's Hospital, Illinois Valley Community College and the University of Illinois Extension. The camp is free and offered to children in kindergarten through eighth grade, as of Fall 2013.
On Tuesday, Ted Alejos, 10, of Spring Valley was back for his fifth year of camp. Ted said he liked "basically everything" about camp, and especially playing dodgeball.
"Dodgeball is fun, and it keeps me entertained," he said. "Everything you do at camp is fun."
For St. Margaret's and IVCC, the goal of this camp is to provide recreational activities to all students in the Illinois Valley area with a special emphasis on stressing healthy lifestyle choices. With childhood obesity on the rise, as well as juvenile diabetes, this camp emphasizes the importance of making healthy food choices and staying active by exercising.
Marissa Boehm, 10, also of Spring Valley is a believer. Marissa, who is attending camp for her fifth year, said she liked coming to camp because she got to have a lot of fun and to play all the time.
Marissa also thought camp was educational.
"You need to stay healthy," she said.
Tracie Klieber, a fitness instructor at Illinois Valley Community College, is back for her fourth year and is leading the third, fourth and fifth grade group.
Klieber said it's very important to get the kids moving. Camp begins with exercise, and then the kids play games.
"We're teaching them how to be healthy," she said.
Sadie Thornton is learning that lesson. Sadie, 8, of Princeton was back for her second year of camp. She said she liked "everything" about camp, especially talking to the teachers.
Sadie also learned something important.
"Exercise is better than sitting around," she said.
But healthy kids are more than just physically fit.
Klieber said the children get to learn how to make friends, show respect to other kids and adults, and play without bullying or name-calling.
John Davis, 9, of Spring Valley said he had been coming to the camp for many years. His favorite activities are playing dodgeball and anything that involves "getting wet."
John said he had learned a lot at camp.
"I learned not to bully people," he said.
Klieber has seen changes in the kids who attend camp. She remembered one really shy boy last year who, by the end of camp, was running with the other kids. Klieber really saw how much he had progressed on the last day of camp, which was water day. The boy got a cup of water, called Klieber's name, and threw the water at her.
"He's the last child I would have expected that of at the beginning of camp," she said with a laugh.

I think they might like Alice best because she's quirky and fun. Rosalie is the super-model type, but she's very into herself, and Bella...well is Bella!ShinyNewVolvoOwner wrote:haha I think it's safe to say that there are some guys reading this thread...I was just reading the XY thread and that's how I found about about this one!! Talk about vicious circles...
What I've noticed about the guys is that they all seem to like Alice the best. I would've thought that they'd like Rosalie hands down because she is the super model type, I guess they're all into the pixie cut lol.
Anyway, the point to my post is: Why do you ladies think that they tend to like Alice the best?

Overhead Views of Everyday Rooms
What if you could see the world from an overhead perspective similar to playing a video game like The Sims? The unique view is the focus of photographer Menno Aden's photo series titled, "Room Portraits", showing various mundane home and private business spaces from an overhead we rarely see in the real world.
Through challenging camera angles Menno Aden abstracts most familiar actual living environments and public interiors flattened into two-dimensional scale models. A camera that the artist installed on the ceiling of various rooms takes pictures of the interiors downwards. The resulting images lay out space in symmetrical compositions that look like assemblages stripped off any kind of objectivity. The views into private homes and secret retreats bring up associations of the ubiquitous observation camera. The notion of surveillance is Systematically played out by the artist to society's voyeuristic urge hint at that popular culture has made mainstream.

Sending the NHL over the fiscal cliff
By ROB SHORE
Sports Writer
This column should be read while listening to "Shelter" by Cheap Trick (running time: 4 minutes,
13 seconds).
• If the NHL owners and players cannot come together on an agreement anytime soon (and it doesn't look promising), can we instead get them to figure out this fiscal cliff business? Then we could have the Democrats and Republicans get to work on a labor deal. It must be worth a shot, right?

Mixed-use building proposed on Sasco Hill Road
A small office building at 54 Sasco Hill Road would be replaced by a mixed-use office and apartment building if a new application wins Town Plan and Zoning Commission approval.
The TPZ began a public hearing on the application filed by Love Where You Live, LLC, on Tuesday night, but the hearing was continued to January.
Raymond Rizzio, the lawyer representing the applicant, said the 2,700-square-foot building, while on largely residential Sasco Hill Road, is in a designed commercial district. "We want to add to the property," he said, and build a mixed-use project.
The new building would be elevated, provide additional parking and comply with Federal Emergency Management Agency standards. The first floor would be office space and the second floor would be an apartment. Both spaces, Rizzio said, are expected to be occupied by the building's owner, Love Where You Live, a local construction company. He said, however, it would be used for office purposes and the property would not house construction equipment.
On one side of the property is a large office building that fronts on the Post Road, and on the other is a private home that uses the driveway at 54 Sasco Hill Road through an easement.
It is expected that the new building would add two more cars to the traffic on Sasco Hill Road during peak hours, according to the applicant.
Landscaper William Kenny said the project calls for marsh area behind the building to be restored, with invasive species and a lawn area removed.
Rizzio said the building would be white-washed brick, clapboard siding and large expanses of glass, taking advantage of the water views of the Mill River. He said while the proposed building would be two and a half stories -- there is a small loft area on the third level and an enclosure for mechanicals -- it would not appear taller than nearby structures because of the lot's low elevation. The first floor would have 3,250 square feet of office space, while the second floor apartment would have 2,819 square feet. The loft area would be comprised of 327 square feet.
The property in question, Rizzio said, sits lower than Sasco Hill Road. "From the street, there's a 7-foot shift in grade," he said.
A mixed-used building, he added, would provide a transition from the abutting commercial district on the Post Road to the residential district on Sasco Hill Road.

6th annual Culver Relay for Life Friday
Now entering its sixth year of operation, Culver's annual Relay for Life will kick off at 7 p.m., Friday, April 19 in the multipurpose building on the Culver Academies campus.
To date, Culver's Relay has raised nearly $600,000 for the American Cancer Society. This year's student-run event has already attracted 53 teams and 305 participants. Registration for teams and individuals is available online. People can also sponsor individuals and/or teams online. The 2013 goal is $110,000.
Relay annually draws over 500 registered participants, and 800 to 900 people, during the 12-hour event. A number of local/area food vendors will be on hand, with proceeds going to Relay For Life. For more information, visit http://main.acsevents.org/site/TR?pg=entry&fr_id=50200.
The Academies-hosted Relay was the first in Indiana to be student-organized in 2008. Relay For Life of Culver is a community event with participation representing the Academies, the town, and Marshall County. Relay planning is carried out by a student committee made up of eight subcommittees with over 100 student volunteers.
In the 2012 Relay blog linked from www.culver.org, Culver Vedette staffer Joshua Silver (class of 2012) wrote, "There is a greater feeling in this room than one of fun and excitement and to simply help support cancer research. An aura of togetherness permeates the air; togetherness for change. And that is really what it is all about. No matter where our journeys take us, as long as we are together, we will be alright."
Walking endless laps around the track represents the ongoing effort to eliminate the "drastic effects cancer can have on individuals, families, friends, and communities," Silver wrote "We walk to remember our journeys. We walk to empathize with others' journeys. We walk for our current journeys. We walk for our future journeys."

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. -- Wednesday evening will mark the first ever meeting between the Tennessee Tech men's basketball team and the Cougars of SIU Edwardsville. The Cougars will travel to Cookeville for the second game of a double-header event with tipoff at 6 p.m. The Tech women host MTSU in the nightcap at 8 p.m.
Moving up from DII, the Cougars became the newest member of the OVC effective this year, but will only compete as a conference participant in softball this year. They will be considered a conference opponent in all sports beginning in the fall of 2011.
The Cougars come to Cookeville with three straight losses, two on the road to the University of Missouri-Kansas City and Iowa, and one at Vadalabene Center against Morehead State. The loss to Iowa was particularly hard felt, as the Hawkeyes hung a 61-point margin of victory on the Cougars. SIUE currently maintains a record of 1-6.
Tennessee Tech has only played three games thus far this season, due to a cancellation of their match-up against Appalachian State last Tuesday. Yet those three games have provided invaluable experiences, as they've faced off against two 2009-10 NCAA tournament participants in East Tennessee State and Michigan State, and one top ranked ACC contender in North Carolina State. The Golden Eagles, with a record of 0-3, will be looking to rebound from their most recent loss to Michigan State, 73-55, this past Sunday in East Lansing.
"These past three games were stepping stones for us," said Tech head coach Mike Sutton. "We play a rugged non-conference schedule to get us ready for the OVC. The loss to Michigan taught us a lot about improvements that we need to make on offense, as far as our shooting and ball handling is concerned. Learning to be better is the most important part of those games.
"I know the guys are excited to play on their home court," said Tech head coach Mike Sutton. "They were ready to go up against Appalachian State last week and were disappointed by the situation. We've been on the road the past three weekends and it's time for us to get on our own floor and show our fans our talent."
For tickets, visit the Athletic Ticket Office in Eblen Center or call (931) 372-3940. Golden Eagle fans who can't make it to Eblen Center Wednesday night can follow the action on Live Stats here, or listen as Roger Ealey calls the action on the Golden Eagle Sports Network. The game can also be heard on Free Teamline on the Internet or telephone.

Georgia Southwestern sophomore Craig Gibson was recently named to the 2009-10 Peach Belt Conference men's golf All-Conference first team. He becomes the first GSW golfer to receive this honor.
Gibson was the individual medalist at the 21-team, 105 player, Aflac/Cougar Invitational in the fall behind a second round 65 – the Peach Belt's second-lowest round of the year. Following the victory, he was named the PBC Golfer of the Week on October 9, 2009, becoming only the second GSW golfer to receive the weekly award.
He followed his win with a third place finish at the 17-team Queens Invitational held October 12-13.
The Brooks, Alberta, Canada native recorded three top-five finishes in nine tournaments and finished no worse than 25th in the 2009-10 season.
Gibson finished the season with the fifth-lowest scoring average in the Peach Belt at 73.3.
Of the 20 rounds played in 2009-10, he finished under par six times.
Gibson and the Hurricanes made school history in March when they received votes for the first time in the NCAA Division II Golf World/Nike coaches' poll.
