Charles Martel Takes Boniface Under His Protection, 723
To the holy lords and apostolic fathers, bishops, dukes, counts, regents, servants, lesser officials and friends, Charles, Mayor of the Palace, hearty greetings.
Let it be known that the apostolic father Bishop Boniface has come into our presence and begged us to take him under our protection. Know then that it has been our pleasure to do this.
Furthermore, we have seen fit to issue and seal with our own hand an order that wheresoever he goes, no matter where it shall be., he shall with our love and protection remain unmolested and undisturbed, on the understanding that he shall maintain justice and receive justice in like manner.
And if any question or eventuality arise which is not covered by our law, he shall remain unmolested and undisturbed until he reach our presence, both he and those who put their trust in him, so that as long as he remains under our protection no man shall oppose or do him harm.
And in order to give greater authority to this our command, we have signed it with our own hand and sealed it below with our ring.

Culinary Weekend with Chef Tandy Wilson
Join us in Greenwood, Mississippi on February 7-9, 2014 for a Culinary Weekend with Tandy Wilson, Chef and Owner of City House (Nashville, TN).
It was Tandy Wilson's mother and grandmothers who instilled in him the enthusiasm and love of food, and it was during his first restaurant job while attending the University of Tennessee that he discovered his talent. After quickly moving up from his position as a dishwasher to a role in the kitchen, Wilson realized he wanted to make a career out of cooking. In 2000, after graduating with a degree in Hotel Restaurant Administration, he left Tennessee for Arizona, where he attended the Scottsdale Culinary Institute. After a year of culinary training, Wilson went to work at the world-famous Tra Vigne restaurant in St. Helena, Calif. Following his time in California, Wilson decided to travel to Italy to explore the cuisine and learn more about regional Italian cooking. Returning from Italy in 2005, Wilson came home to his roots.
Tandy Wilson opened City House in Nashville's historic Germantown district in December 2007 after spending two years at Margot Café and Bar. City House's menu offers dishes that feature quality, local ingredients cooked with great care and purpose. City House also allows Wilson to hone his emerging expertise at cured meats, which hold a prominent place on the menu, revolving between his various salamis and, more recently, hand-cured hams. Seating 124, and featuring a chef's bar where diners can watch as Wilson and his team prepare the meal, City House has emerged as one of the bright stars in Nashville's local restaurant scene.
Wilson's passion for food extends beyond cooking for his customers. He has been a member of the Southern Foodways Alliance for the past two years and is frequently involved with local and regional culinary activities.
One and two night packages available, starting at $600 double occupancy. For more information, please call 662.451.6713 or 866.451.6713 to book your weekend culinary getaway.

The Herald has more on his contract:
As long as Colon is in the minor leagues, he will be paid a salary of $18,000 a month. If and when Colon reports to the major leagues, he will receive a pro-rated, guaranteed base salary of $1.2 million that translates into roughly $200,000 a month.There are also a bunch of incentives. Theo offers his thoughts here.
Manny Ramirez, asked if he thought Colon could help the Red Sox: "I'm not a pitching coach."
A bit more on Terry Francona's new contract: he'll get an extra $250,000 in any season the Red Sox win the AL pennant. The option years -- for 2012 and 2013 -- must be excerised together after the 2011 season.
Daisuke Matsuzaka is working on his changeup. John Farrell says hitters "won't be able to detect it early upon its release". Dice is much more relaxed this spring: "Most of the things that were a source of stress for me last season have disappeared, and now I'm just able to practice. I'm feeling really good about it." ... If you find yourself in the Japanese province of Hokkaido, check out Dice's museum in the town of Wakkanai.
Daniel Bard, Boston's first-round draft pick in 2006, struggled with his control in A ball last year, walking 22 batters in 13.1 innings for Lancaster and posting a 6.39 ERA in Greenville (where he walked 56 in 62 innings). The organization is moving him to the bullpen.
Working out of the pen for Honolulu in the Hawaiian Winter League, Bard threw 16 innings in 16 games. He allowed four runs on eight hits while striking out 15. "I was throwing one- or two-inning outings, just coming in and blowing it out and letting my stuff take over. To be honest, my command and stuff all jumped up when I was out there, whether it was a confidence thing or being more aggressive facing hitters."
An unnamed GM:
It's a terrible market to trade Coco. There were like eight to 10 free agents on the market and some are still out there ... teams probably would prefer to pay ... instead of having to give up talent for someone like Crisp.If everyone stays healthy, it's possible the Red Sox will have Jacoby Ellsbury start the season in Pawtucket, so as to limit his service time and allow the club to retain control over him for another season.

Urban real estate is extremely desirable for numerous reasons, from its proximity to cultural attractions to its convenience for conducting business. One area in which such exclusive properties have, in the past, occasionally lacked is outdoor space. However, the growing trend for rooftop gardens is steadily changing this.
These metropolitan green areas have been fashionable with commercial establishments for some time – open-air cocktail bars with panoramic views are easy to find in London and New York. Such spaces are now progressing into the domestic sphere, creating secluded, lush spaces across city skylines. Having long been celebrated for their agricultural and ecological benefits, rooftop gardens are now a key attraction for the urban homeowner.
Sorting the practicalities
If you are thinking about adding one to your property, the first point to consider is the practicality of converting your roof space. Ask your architect or building contractor to assess the stability and strength of the roof, and whether it will withstand the pressure of the soil in the long term. A professional landscaper will then be able to advise you on how to best utilise the area, as well as ensuring any safety features are incorporated seamlessly into the garden's aesthetic.
Another practical factor is maintenance; larger or more complex spaces will require regular upkeep, and so you may wish to look into hiring a gardener. If you would prefer a low-maintenance outdoor space, be sure to instruct your landscaper to cater to that in the plans.
Choosing your aesthetic
This urban trend lends itself to purist design, with a strong focus on natural materials. To channel the rural spirit into a city space, consider incorporating polished stone, hard-wearing wood and elegant water features into your garden. The local environment can also be an excellent source of inspiration. An English country garden with rambling roses and white wrought iron furniture would be charming in London, while hanging vines and rustic seating are ideal for evoking a Spanish feel.
Whatever aesthetic you choose, it's important to consider what you will be using your rooftop garden for when planning. If you intend to host dinner parties there, you may wish to commission a bespoke table and chairs set to suit your space. You could create a distinct dining 'zone' through architectural features, such as decking or a trellis. Alternatively, your rooftop garden could be reserved for personal relaxation, complete with a Jacuzzi and opulently upholstered recliners.
Finding alternative locations
If you don't have access to the roof but would like to expand your city space, you can easily adapt this concept. Both compact and generous balconies can be converted into inviting outdoor areas using potted plants, climbing foliage and bistro sets.
To view exclusive penthouse properties incorporating this innovative garden feature, or ones that are ideally appointed for such an addition, visit Engel & Völkers. With shops in 39 countries around the world, our portfolio of luxury real estate is sure to include the perfect home for you.

An enigma in itself, Uplink is akin to a more cerebral incarnation of Ambrosia's popular Escape Velocity series of games, with missions that interweave a threaded plot which is unveiled with each conquest. Only this time, you have only your intellect, hacking skills, and the computer systems you've compromised to aid you.
You play an Uplink Agent who makes a living by performing jobs for major corporations. Your tasks involve hacking into rival computer systems, stealing research data, sabotaging other companies, laundering money, erasing evidence, or framing innocent people.
You use the money you earn to upgrade your computer systems, and also to buy new software and tools. As your experience level increases, you find more dangerous and profitable missions become available. You can speculate on a fully working stock market (and even influence its outcome). You can modify people's academic or criminal records, divert money from bank transfers into your own accounts, and even take part in the construction of the most deadly computer virus ever designed.
Will Wright once said that you can tell a lot about someone's personality by the way they play their games. That almost makes me wish I just had not framed an innocent bystander for murder, for no other reason than to buy me some more memory.

Commission welcomes adoption of Quality Framework to improve quality of traineeships
The European Commission welcomes today's adoption by the EU's Council of Ministers of a Quality Framework on Traineeships to enable trainees to acquire high-quality work experience under safe and fair conditions, and to increase their chances of finding a good quality job.
The Council Recommendation on a Quality Framework for Traineeships in particular calls on Member States to ensure that national law or practice respects the principles set out in the guidelines, and to adapt their legislation where necessary. The Commission will now carefully monitor the implementation of the Quality Framework in all Member States.
Traineeships are a key element of the Youth Guarantee proposed by the European Commission in December 2012 and adopted by the EU's Council of Ministers in April 2013. Currently one in three traineeships is substandard with regard to working conditions or learning content, according to a November 2013 Eurobarometer survey. Many of these substandard traineeships are used by employers to replace entry level jobs.
The guidelines will increase transparency with regard to traineeship conditions, for example by requiring that traineeships be based on a written traineeship agreement. The agreement should cover learning content (educational objectives, supervision) and working conditions (limited duration, working time, clear indication whether trainees will be paid or otherwise compensated and whether they will qualify for social security). Indeed, traineeship providers will be asked to disclose in the vacancy notice whether the traineeship will be paid.
The Commission consulted a wide range of stakeholders, including small businesses, in order to ensure that the Quality Framework for traineeships is neither too prescriptive nor too burdensome.

Sept. 20, 2007
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Caitlin DiCecca provided all of the offense in UMass-Dartmouth's 2-0 victory over MIT in a non-conference field hockey game on Thursday night. The Corsairs, winners of their second straight, improved to 2-4 on the year while the Engineers fell to 3-4.
UMass-Dartmouth applied the offensive pressure from the opening whistle as it posted a trio of shots and penalty corners. After being unsuccessful in her first two scoring attempts, DiCecca found the back of the cage on a breakaway after 6:30 had expired. The game then became a battle at the midfield with both squads combining for three shots.
MIT opened the second stanza by earning its first penalty corner of the night, but Ekavali Mishra's shot was just wide of the goal. The defensive battle returned as the Corsairs held on to their slim lead. The Engineers generated some momentum late in the contest when Jessica Oleinik fired back-to-back shots in the 64th minute, however, UMass-Dartmouth netminder Liz Fitzgerald turned away both point-blank attempts. The Corsairs countered with an insurance goal by DiCecca, who converted a one-on-one opportunity, with 5:35 on the clock.
In net, Alexa Herman collected one save for MIT while Fitzgerald finished with three.
Both teams will face conference foes on Saturday, Sept. 22. MIT will travel to Smith College while UMass-Dartmouth will host Westfield State College.

The bright and colourful North American box art for Epic's Bulletstorm is a boot to the head of those more serious first-person shooters.
It's these bright colours that draw me to Bulletstorm. I have no problem traversing the dreary grey and brown worlds of games like Resistance, Killzone or Epic's own Gears of War. I just need a nice splash of colour now and then. Games like Team Fortress 2, Monday Night Combat and now Bulletstorm take me back to the good old days, back before everything got so gritty and realistic.

Taylor Swift, 'Begin Again' – Song Review
Taylor Swift has released 'Begin Again,' a new song from her upcoming 'Red' album. It's a huggable, inspiring, acoustic country ballad that is everything country fans wished her first single 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together' was when it was released in August.
'Begin Again' begins where 'Ours' (the final single from 'Speak Now') ended before her gentle flow was interrupted by the catchy but frostbitten lead from 'Red.' After 18 singles, the teenage drama has become exhausting. Much like a good friend who's perpetually being wronged, we're politely sympathetic but sick of being mired in negativity. This song is a cleansing breath that hopefully foreshadows the true tone of her album, which hits stores on Oct. 23.
"Walked in expecting that you'd be late / But you got here early and you stand and wave / I walk to you / You pull my chair out and help me in / You don't know how nice that is but I do," Swift sings after beginning a story about the first date after a bad relationship ends. Her storytelling is only getting sharper and more poetic with each album. 'Begin Again' is accessible on multiple levels.
"You throw your head back laughing like a little kid / I think it's strange that you think I'm funny cause he never did / I've been spending the last eight months / Thinking all love ever does is break, and burn and end / But on a Wednesday in a cafe / I watched it begin again," she adds during each chorus.
On one level the new song is simply a story of young love, but the characters will also be familiar to those past 20, 30 or 40 years old. Heartbreak doesn't feel differently when your hair is gray. At the far end, Swift's lyrics will remind anyone in an abusive relationship (verbal, emotional or physical) that true, pure and reciprocated love exists. It begins with hope and seemingly innocent conversations about Christmas traditions or music.
"You said you never met one girl who had as many James Taylor records as you, but I do / We tell stories and you don't know why I'm coming off a little shy, but I do."
Not lost in the production is the reemergence of banjo and fiddle as instruments that drive the melody. 'Begin Again' is one country radio can embrace after 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together' became the first single of her career not to crack the Top 10 on country radio charts. At the very least it will make Swift haters look like jerks for tearing apart such a vulnerable lyric, but there is potential for a No. 1 hit.

Archbishop Desmond Tutu has dedicated his life to the promotion of equality. Now a new study of his genetic makeup has helped scientists understand how different human beings are at least genetically.
The genomes of Tutu and an indigenous Bushman from Namibia were decoded by an international team of more than 50 scientists for a study published this week in the journal Nature. Researchers also decoded partial genomes of three other Bushmen elders. The scientists discovered vast genetic differences between the men. In one case, two Bushmen who lived within walking distance of each other were genetically more diverse than a typical European and Asian are.
The authors said the diversity was no surprise, given that humans have lived in southern Africa for longer than anywhere else and have had some 200,000 years to develop genetic differences. "It is the cradle of mankind. If you are looking for the full range of human genetic variation, it's the place to look," says Stephan Schuster of Pennsylvania State University, the lead author of the study.
The study found 1.3 million genetic variations that had not been previously observed in studies of human DNA, which have until now focused mainly on European and Asian genomes. The variations described in the Nature paper should greatly aid scientists' quest to understand which genes increase susceptibility to disease or influence a patient's response to certain medications. The study of the latter phenomenon known as pharmacogenomics has thus far excluded southern Africans, who have not only been poorly represented in clinical drug trials but also, in many cases, fail to respond optimally to crucial medications for tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS, two major scourges of the continent. "We can now be more inclusive rather than exclusive and begin to redress the problem of certain drugs not working as well for [southern Africans] as [Europeans]," says Vanessa Hayes, a cancer specialist at the University of New South Wales and co-author of the study.
Further, because Tutu's medical records are already public he is known to have had polio, prostate cancer and TB, all of which are influenced by genes his genome will help scientists learn more about those diseases, Hayes says.
In a telephone press conference from Namibia, Hayes said the participants' advanced age (all were over 80) makes scientists confident that they are unlikely to carry rare genetic variations that lead to fatal disease, so they can focus on more subtle and common variations. Indeed, one of the participants, a Bushman hunter-gatherer known as !Gubi (the "!" expresses the palatal tick in his native language) was so robust that Hayes could not keep up with him in a rope-skipping competition.
All four hunter-gatherers had adaptive genetic variations, called single nucleotide polymorphisms, or SNPs, that may give them a survival advantage in the desert, researchers said: three men had two copies of variants associated with physical prowess and faster sprint performance, and one had a variant for a cellular mechanism that enables a person to retain salt and water a benefit in a hot, dry climate. Yet another newly discovered genetic trait involved the ability to taste bitter chemicals, which could help hunter-gatherers avoid toxic plants.
Some scientists, most prominently the Harvard-based evolutionary biologist Steven Pinker, have publicly expressed concerns that such revelations of genetic differences may fuel wrongheaded beliefs that different racial and ethnic groups should be treated as inferior. During the telephone press conference, the authors were asked whether they shared this concern. Schuster said, "Overall, modern humans are very similar to one another." He reiterated that genetic diversity within Africa is greater than that between other continents.
Co-author Webb Miller of Pennsylvania State also noted that genetic diversity is a great boon to humanity because "if we didn't have this diversity we might be wiped out by the next major disease." And Hayes expressed frustration that Africans were considered "different" because they diverge from the European genome. "My question is what if the reference genome we used came from southern Africa? Then we would say the Europeans are different," she said.
For his part, Tutu was delighted at some of the unexpected discoveries from his genes. He is Bantu, a traditionally agricultural people, and was included in the study to represent their ancestry. But his genome revealed that he is also maternally related to the San, a hunter-gatherer population that has traditionally lived around the Kalahari Desert. "The fact that the test found that I am related to these wise people who paint rocks makes me feel very privileged and blessed," he told the BBC.
Tutu also made clear that although he has spent his life fighting apartheid and other manifestations of inequality, differences between people on the genetic level were not something that should threaten racial harmony. "It is exciting that science is finding evidence of genetic diversity among groups of people as well as among individuals, and this discovery should be embraced, not feared," he said. "It would be disastrous if scientists were to ignore the diversity of the human race, because this is the greatest asset of humanity."

Kansas 117th House Democratic candidate Dennis McKinney (41%) lost a close race to Republican opponent John Ewy (59%) on Tuesday. Reflecting on his campaign the former representative and state treasurer said he was proud of his 'positive' campaign.
Kansas 117th House Democratic candidate Dennis McKinney (41%) lost a close race to Republican opponent John Ewy (59%) on Tuesday. Reflecting on his campaign the former representative and state treasurer said he was proud of his 'positive' campaign.
"I stuck to my principals, I didn't want to run a negative campaign and we didn't," said McKinney late Tuesday evening. "I think when they have to bring in a congressman to campaign for them, it means they're worried. I'm very happy with how the campaign was run. We've ran a positive campaign."
Over the past few days radio advertisements associated the Kiowa County farmer and former commissioner with Kathleen Sebelius and The Affordable Healthcare Act, also known as 'Obamacare.' Congressman Tim Huelskamp voiced the attack ads that were paid for by the Kansas Republican Party.
"They spent a lot of money trying to tie me to Kathleen Sebelius and Obamacare and it worked," said McKinney. "It was misleading, but effective."
The final advertising push made by Republican opponent John Ewy and his supporters pointed to a close race, which many in the district considered too close to call even up to election day.
Residents in the north areas of the district had been receiving negative mailings for weeks, likely a push by the Ewy campaign to appeal to voters in new parts of the district.
McKinney had been running his own campaign ads, to counteract his opponents ads saying that the "third parties who are putting lies in your mailbox, don't care."
McKinney also responded to the negative ads in a election day email to supporters .
"I am on the Board of Directors of Pratt Regional Medical Center," he wrote. "At the state level, I am supported by the Kansas Hospital Association and the nursing homes in the Kansas Health Care Association."
McKinney carried Kiowa County with 890 votes (77%) to Ewy's 266 votes (23%), but lost every other county. Rush and Ness County results were not complete at time of publication.
Speaking on the eve of the election McKinney was unsure of what future he would have in public office. "I'd like to serve, but I don't know where or how."

MIAMI SHORES, Fla. – When the Buccaneers ventured into Pensacola a month ago, they had no specific scouting report on the No. 19 team in the country. Still, that didn't give them any free passes. The show had to go on, and the match on the schedule had to be played.
Barry University's volleyball team won that match, a four-set ousting of West Florida, the aforementioned Top 20-ranked team whom the Bucs disposed of on their own home floor. It signaled the start of something. It was the beginning of the second of three three-match win streaks Barry would enjoy away from Health & Sports Center this season.
Friday and Saturday, the Bucs will close the season in HSC with a pair of Sunshine State Conference matches against Florida Southern and Saint Leo. Friday's match against Florida Southern (19-13, 8-6 SSC) is set for a 7 p.m. first serve on the Buccaneers Broadcasting Network. Saturday's 4 p.m. start against Saint Leo (21-10, 8-6) will honor senior outside hitter hitter Ashley Carrero on Senior Day.
"I think the team is excited to play," Barry head coach Steve Hendricks said. "Florida Southern has been strong all year. They're just a solid team with good ball control. Saint Leo has the ability to play at a very high level. They can be up and down a little bit, but they're playing very well right now. It'll be two very tough matches.
"It's nice to be at home to finish with senior Ashley Carrero. Everybody loves Ashley. She's been a great part of our success. They've been playing very hard for her. They want her to go out on a successful weekend. She's just been a great part of our success, a great kid and a quality student-athlete. It's going to be sad knowing she's not going to be back next year."
Next year is next year when the focus will be intent on making the NCAA Tournament. But for a weekend, it'll be about going out with a bang for one senior, all the while trying to spoil the regular season endings of two postseason-bound teams.
"That's something we talked about in practice last night," Hendricks said. "It's unfortunate we didn't make regionals because we're playing some of the best volleyball we've played all year. We're playing really good volleyball right now."
Yet despite a ton of youth on this team – Barry has six freshmen and five sophomores – the goal has always been to play deep into November and December.
"I think those are pretty realistic expectations," Hendricks said. "What we really didn't count on is Tashalyn Begon and Jayla Trombley really didn't play until mid-October because of injuries. Going into the season, I thought they'd be ready to play a little bit earlier. Then we lost Eva Raat with a stress fracture. That's three potential starters that hurt us earlier in the year, and now Jayla and Tash are back, and they're playing extremely well. It's just helping our team be consistent and more offensive and more aggressive. So I did think we could do it … because they're an athletic group."
Barry (11-15, 4-10) will not finish with as many wins as yesteryear when the Bucs went 17-13. The Buccaneers can not finish with a winning record overall nor in conference. They can leapfrog as many as two teams in the SSC and finish as high as sixth in the league if they put together an impressive weekend and get some outside help. But more importantly they can show their true colors by performing with Barry pride.
"A lot of teams wouldn't have continued to fight or tried to improve at the end of the year, knowing that we weren't going to make the NCAA Tournament," Hendricks said. "But this team continued to get better, and they pushed each other in practice, and they've fought for their senior. It just shows a lot of character with this group.
"The win over the ranked opponent, West Florida … we just asked our team to go out and fight for it. I think things really started to come together at that point. I think it showed our players why we believe in them so much, and that there is a lot of potential."
UP NEXT: Barry University hosts Florida Southern in the final weekend of the season.

They're pushing to free up space to make a big splash during the off season. They're going to push hard to get LeBron, Bosh, or Wade. They would love to pair one of those guys with Derrick Rose.
Well, they only hace a chance at Bosh, and I think he'd consider the Knicks over them.

Universal Service Tax On VoIP Will Actually Hold Back Universal Service
from the nice-work-FCC dept
In this case, those new taxes are supposedly to support the "Universal Service Fund" that's designed to bring phone service to rural areas and those who can't afford service. So how's the Universal Service Fund doing? That's a damn good question -- and, as Berninger notes in his open letter to Senator Ted Stevens and other Congressional folks, it's not something many people want to talk about because the results aren't very good. The Universal Service Fund hasn't done very much at all to increase service, and the government isn't even bothering to measure the results. All they track is how much money goes into the program -- and not whether it's successful in increasing access. Berninger shows how, with this new VoIP tax, it's really about taking money from these upstarts who are actually providing cheap phone service and handing it over to the incumbent telcos who are providing expensive old phone service. Once again, it comes down to the real issue: the lack of competition in the telco world. Real competition drives new innovations and lower prices (like VoIP) that help increase access. Instead of encouraging that, we're now forcing these VoIP companies to pay a big tax that goes straight to the incumbent telcos. That doesn't help increase access to service -- it slows it down.

Sept. 11, 2010
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - On a foggy Saturday afternoon, eleventh-ranked UC San Diego men's water polo team took on the No. 6 ranked UC Santa Barbara in the Gauchos' home opener at Campus Pool. UCSB defeated the Tritons, 16-6, in the non-conference game.
Gaucho senior Milos Golic had a game-high six goals and was closely followed by senior Zsombor Vincze, who had five. The leading scorer for the Tritons was sophomore Brian Donahoe with two goals. UCSB improves to 2-0 on the season while UCSD is now 3-3.
Golic and Vincze both extended their scoring streaks, Golic now has nine consecutive games with multiple goals dating back to the 2009 season and Vincze has five-straight games with multiple goals.
The first period favored the Gauchos, who jumped out to an early 2-0 lead. Although goalkeeper David Morton had five saves in the period for UCSD, two goals were scored when the Gauchos were a man-up; Golic had both.
The second period saw the Gauchos jump out to a 5-0 lead with another goal by Golic and one by Vincze. The Tritons mounted a small comeback and got within three goals two different times during the period. The first time, Donahue and senior Bryce Madsen cut the lead to three with 4:07 left in the second quarter. The only other time the game was close, junior Graham Saber scored to put UCSD within three with 3:20 left but the Gauchos took a 7-3 lead into halftime.
At the half, senior goalkeeper Fraser Bunn had 10 saves and that was enough for him, he was subbed out for sophomore goalkeeper Myles Christian. Christian recorded four saves in each of the last two periods with an incredible interception to stop an easy score on a Triton breakaway in fourth.
Golic led the Gauchos offensively in the second half as well, posting another three goals, one of which came on a penalty shot and another when the Gauchos were up on a 6-on-5.
Evan Dellinger, Geng Wang, Noah Smith and Matt Puig all scored goals in the second half.
The Tritons recorded three goals in the third period, their best coming with one second left. UCSD freshman Luke Syka received a pass on the post, which he quickly deflected for the goal. The period ended with a Gaucho lead of 12-6.
To start the game the Tritons were shut out until five minutes left in the second quarter. The Gauchos repeated this tough defensive scheme to end the game as well, shutting out UCSD in the fourth period to take the 16-6 victory.
The shot of the game happened in the third period when Vincze flipped the ball into the net with a no-look backhand shot. He fooled the goalkeeper and put his team up 9-4 in the third.
The Gauchos had several streaks of greatness by taking a five-nothing run to start the game and then had another five-nothing run in the third period. They set the tone of the game by starting hard in each of the halves.
Golic continues his dominance by increasing his career goals total to 223. He needs just 22 more to surpass school record holder Larry Mouchawar.
Next on the schedule for the Gauchos is the NorCal Tournament in Berkley on the 18th and 19th of September. The next home game is against UC Irvine on Sept. 26.
UC Santa Barbara 16, UC San Diego 6
UCSD Goals: Brian Donohoe 2, Bryce Madsen 1, Ryan Allred 1, Luke Syka 1, Graham Saber 1.
UCSD Saves: David Morton 14.
UCSB Goals: Milos Golic 6, Zsombor Vincze 5, Evan Dellinger 1, Scott Bishop 1, Geng Wang 1, Noah Smith 1, Matt Puig 1.
UCSB Saves: Fraser Bunn 10, Myles Christian 8, Russell Russo LeVasseur 1.

PerlMonks Quine:
Previously, I used this:
Between the mind which plans and the hands which build, there must be a mediator... and this mediator must be the heart.This is a line (my own translation) from the classic movie Metropolis. Incidentally, my homenode pic above is a frame cap from this movie as well.
In the movie, the building of the mega-city Metropolis is likened to the legendary tower of Babel. This was intended as a warning: Knowing the fate which befell Babel, the builders of the present age should take care to avoid the same sins, and thus the same fate. Specifically, the builders of Babel lacked "heart" (a spirit of compassion and a willingness to compromise), and this resulted in a cataclysmic conflict between management and labor.

Note: The correct title of this article is tmdb.pl. It appears incorrectly here due to technical restrictions.
What is tmdb.pl
This perl script is intended to perform movie data lookups based on the themoviedb.org website
Downloading tmdb.pl
If you're using MythTV 0.21-fixes,
tmdb.pl does not ship with MythTV, so you will need to download the script (as a non-root user in a normal directory, such as the user's HOME directory). Do so by copying/pasting the following commands directly into a terminal window:
install -d tmdb/MythTV && pushd tmdb && svn cat http://svn.mythtv.org/svn/trunk/mythplugins/mythvideo/mythvideo/scripts/tmdb.pl > tmdb.pl && svn cat http://svn.mythtv.org/svn/trunk/mythplugins/mythvideo/mythvideo/scripts/MythTV/MythVideoCommon.pm > MythTV/MythVideoCommon.pm && chmod 755 ./tmdb.pl ./MythTV/MythVideoCommon.pm && popd
Installing tmdb.pl
The MythVideo scripts are typically installed in
/usr/share/mythtv/mythvideo/scripts/ or
/usr/local/share/mythtv/scripts/. The following code assumes they are installed in one of those two directories. If not, adjust the SCRIPTDIR as appropriate (and skip the if conditional that tries to set it automatically). To use the code below, copy/paste the following commands directly into the same terminal window you used for downloading the script, above:
if [ -d /usr/share/mythtv/mythvideo/scripts ]; then SCRIPTDIR=/usr/share/mythtv/mythvideo/scripts elif [ -d /usr/local/share/mythtv/mythvideo/scripts ]; then SCRIPTDIR=/usr/local/share/mythtv/mythvideo/scripts else echo "Unable to find script directory. Please install tmdb.pl manually." fi sudo cp -Rv tmdb/* ${SCRIPTDIR} && if [ -e ${SCRIPTDIR}/tmdb.pl ]; then echo "Successfully installed tmdb.pl script to:" echo " ${SCRIPTDIR}." unset SCRIPTDIR else echo "Unable to install tmdb.pl script. Please install tmdb.pl manually." fi
When you're done with the temporary copy made when downloading the scripts, you may delete the tmdb directory:
rm -r tmdb
Configuring MythVideo 0.21-fixes to use tmdb.pl
Change the MythVideo settings to use the new script, replacing
imdb.pl with
tmdb.pl and removing
tv=no;video=no from the
Command to search for movie listings:.
Using the default menu theme, you can find the settings in
Utilities/Setup|Setup|Media Settings|Videos Settings|General Settings on page 4/7. After making the changes, the settings should look like:
Command to search for movie listings: /usr/share/mythtv/mythvideo/scripts/tmdb.pl -M Command to search for movie posters: /usr/share/mythtv/mythvideo/scripts/tmdb.pl -P Command to extract data for movies: /usr/share/mythtv/mythvideo/scripts/tmdb.pl -D

Despite drawing a smaller than expected crowd, Broomstock rocked Broomfield County Commons on Friday with local music and plenty of sunshine.
Designed by Broomfield High School students 13 years ago, Broomstock is a tradition for many high schoolers, who see the end-of-school party as a way to officially celebrate summer. Many return to Broomstock even after they graduate.
This year Broomstock included a lineup of 24 high-energy bands, including headliners T-Shirts 4 Tomorrow and Aim 2 Miss. Most of the bands have local ties.
With the festivities under way, Mountain Range High School student Jesse Bertsch said Broomstock is the kickoff to his summer concert season.
"I like that there's a range of music styles," he said.
Although this year's Broomstock featured sunny weather and free giveaways, fewer people showed up than expected.
Chippy Cianci, Broomstock volunteer coordinator and a member of the Broomfield Council on the Arts and Humanities, said it might have something to do with moving the event to Friday, the start the Memorial Day weekend. Broomstock in the past has been held on a Thursday, but organizers moved it to Friday this year to accommodate student schedules and to avoid conflicts with finals and other end-of-the-year obligations.
By about 4 p.m., the crowd was at about 500 people, but organizer Dana Cabot said more people were likely to turn out as bigger-name bands took the stage later in the day.
Not everyone was concerned about the crowds, though. Friends Violet Arroyo and Zlata Lancheva showed up midday just to take in the summery atmosphere.
"It's just perfect right now. It's good to listen to all these bands, who all have different sounds," Arroyo said. "It's more intimate this way, and you can talk with the bands afterward."
Lancheva said she used to attend Broomstock back when she was in high school and thought this was a good year to come back.
"There's this big open field, so we're just going to lay out and listen," she said.
For some, Broomstock is still a staple of their summer experience long after high school is over.
Sari Isaak graduated a few years ago, but still drives from Henderson every year to meet up with her friends at the show.
This year, she brought along her pet chameleon, Anakin Skywalker.
Meeting up at Broomstock is "something we always do," she said.
Another returning Broomstock fan was Mauricio Jara, who played Broomstock for at least five years with different bands. He came back this year as an audience member.
"I want to see how the local scene is shaping up these days," he said.
Broomstock is a chance for music lovers to hear up-and-coming bands, but also is a chance for bands to find their next biggest fan.
Jordan Brewer, bassist for Calibrate Me, said his band is used to playing in Denver pop-punk circles. Broomstock offers a different venue.
"This is a chance to try to get new fans, younger people who might not know who we are," he said.
Many bands invited the audience to stop by and talk with them after their sets were over — a chance to meet face to face with people and direct them to their Facebook or ReverbNation pages or Twitter feeds.
Members of metal band Astreya handed out stickers with codes for free song downloads, while Calibrate Me rewarded dancing fans with free band shirts.
Some bands, such as Smallz the Cat, said any exposure is positive. Smallz the Cat was the first band to take the stage on Friday and didn't get the benefit of later-afternoon crowds.
Despite that, they said the experience will help them tee up more gigs in the future.
They couldn't argue with the nice weather, either.
"It's just a beautiful day for this," said Nick Thaler, the band's bass player.

Gaining a sense of perspective
We're publishing the shortlisted entries to the 2012 Wellcome Trust Science Writing Prize. In this piece, Susannah Lydon takes us with her on a scientific pilgrimage to find fearsome fossils and a sense of our place in the story of life.
A few years ago, I made a pilgrimage. I travelled thousands of miles. I endured the final few miles of my journey on foot. And when I reached the site, I experienced a profound feeling of awe, which has stayed with me ever since. Visiting a scientific shrine can be a powerful experience.
The Burgess Shale is a rock formation in the Canadian Rockies, near a town called Field in British Columbia. A little over 500 million years old, these rocks contain fossils which have become world-famous because of their exceptional preservation and what they tell us about the early history of life on Earth. The fossil record as a whole is a highly biased sample, since the natural processes of decay, destruction and rock-recycling obliterate most evidence of living things, particularly the squishy bits. But the fossils of the Burgess Shale show soft part preservation, and represent a whole range of marine creatures that would never normally make it into the fossil record: an extraordinary triumph against the odds.
What makes the Burgess Shale so iconic? Part of the immediate appeal of the fossils is their weirdness. Not just one peculiar beast, but a whole bucketful of oddities with too many eyes, too many spikes and claws, or isolated limbs mistaken for entire animals. Trilobites, those worthy and reliable inhabitants of ancient seas, are present, but the rest of the animals are more like a Cambrian Addams Family than your typical fossil assemblage.
Many of them are (like trilobites) types of arthropod – the group represented today by insects, crustaceans, spiders and centipedes. Back in the mid-Cambrian, the top predator was Anomalocaris. At a then enormous 50 cm long, Anomalocaris was a killing machine with large bulging eyes, two grasping claws, a body and tail made of lobes for swimming, and a mouth resembling, oddly, a pineapple ring. Opabinia, another lobed swimmer, had a single huge, clawed appendage and five (yes, five!) stalked eyes on its head. Hallucigenia was originally reconstructed as a bizarre, stilt-walking scavenger with a single row of tentacles down its back. It has since been flipped over and rehabilitated, and currently resides within a group still found today: the onychophorans, or 'velvet worms'.
Beyond the arthropods, Wiwaxia resembles a marine, armoured mini-hedgehog. Pikaia, a 5 cm long, eel-like creature with a pair of deely-bopper tentacles, is thought to be a primitive member of our very own group which developed backbones.
The bewildering diversity we see in the Burgess Shale is part of the evidence we have for the Cambrian Explosion: the idea that, about 500 million years ago, there was a step-change in the evolution of multicellular life and an explosion of new forms appeared, many representing the groups we see today. The Burgess Shale is not unique: similarly preserved fossils of around the same age have been discovered all over the world and have provided more evidence. While the Burgess Shale may appear weird to us, it appears to have been fairly normal for a shallow sea in the mid-Cambrian.
I first learnt about the Burgess Shale as an undergraduate – and I was hooked. I learnt that the same fossils could be interpreted in wildly different ways but that, since their discovery about a century ago, each generation of scientists built on and refined the ideas of the last. I learnt that the same bunch of fossils could be used to argue very different viewpoints in evolutionary theory. Eventually I taught classes about the Burgess Shale, and I saw some students get the same gleam in their eye when they comprehended just how extraordinary, and how improbable, this window into the past was. And when I got an opportunity to visit the very quarry where Charles Walcott first uncovered these wonders – now a restricted World Heritage Site within the Rocky Mountain World Heritage Parks – 'pilgrimage' really was the best word to describe my feelings as we hiked up into the mountains and eventually emerged above the tree line to that site.
Some science has no economic benefit. It does not cure disease, combat climate change or accelerate technological progress. What it does is tell us how we fit into the story of life, the story of the universe. The tangible sense of connection I felt with a lost world, half a billion years ago, informs my world view. Human beings are such a small part of the bigger picture and we would do well to be reminded of that from time to time. All science which deals with vast scales, whether palaeontology or astrophysics, provides this illuminating perspective, and that is why it is important.

UK Welfare Project Boss Says He Didn't Use Open Source Because It 'Wasn't Available' Two Years Ago
from the how-do-some-people-get-into-power dept
So, to get this straight: you have a government welfare project, spending tens of millions of pounds on a proprietary system that was built for a different purpose than what they needed, and it was so inflexible that they have to scrap the whole thing and now start all over again. At least they're using open source technology this time, but it really sounds like these guys are somewhat technologically clueless and got taken for a ride by some tech vendors who saw easy money the first time around. Hopefully they're not using the same guys for this open source project.

Selling my Del Mar Housing Projects Guru/Lunar housing that is currently setup for my Canon 7D and 10-22. I have personally used this housing with the following bodies...
7D, 40D, 350D, but it will fit any of the non-1Series Canon cameras just by relocating the pressure pad locations inside. If you want to use this with a Rebel series body you just need to cut off the current N3 style connector and splice on the Rebel one as it is different for some reason. This housing has been 100% reliable for me without so much as a hint of a drop of water inside, ever.
Included is a spare new o-ring and extra port screws.
This acrylic port is a great all around port for a wide angle, prime or kit lens. But not for a fisheye, you can buy other ports though DMHP.
I have been in to see Erik at DMHP a few times and he has always set me up and taken great care of me as a customer, so if you need any adjustments or help just send in your housing.
$825 shipped.
Paypal gift

COD local pickup ok, San Diego area.
Thanks for looking

I'm greatly impressed by the bravery people are exhibiting by going into detail with some of their fetishes! I'm with Vexx on "the internet remembers forever" and "you're not as anonymous as you think you are" so I won't detail my own. But here's one:
Asians. (I married one, so anyone who tracks me down likely wouldn't be surprised by it. Nope, didn't marry her purely because of that attribute.)

A weird "fetish" I have developed a liking for is NTR (netorare). Not because it arouses me, but for some reason I get satisfaction of fail male leads getting their female romantic partners taken away by another person. For whatever reason, I find it hilarious. Guess I'm just a mean bastard
It does however, have to be "fail" male leads e.g. the whiny, beta, emo shonen kiddy type or the brainless indecisive harem lead type

You, sir, inspired me to contribute honestly as well. Of course because this isn't an anonymous forum I won't be sharing my most embarrassing, but some might prove interesting anyway.
And I'm done. I think only the first one will be of interest to anyone.

On the fetish topic, quite unexpectedly for those who know me, i have a really strong sadistic side hiding inside. So you all can guess what kind of fetishes associating with it.

If you're from a superior part of Australia. Again, it's just a fetish, haven't been with anyone under 18, at least since I myself was over 18.
Don't know if it's different in America, but I noticed you're australian too, soo.. Yeah.

Can say "Good for you!!", but then it will sounds like i'm envy with those having 16-17 years old girlfriends
PS: don't want to shatter your dream, but nowadays it's hard to find a mature/ thoughtful high school girls(16-17) from our ages' POV, with them getting in their teens and all have rebelling mindset. My younger sister is probably the nicest kid on the block, and i couldn't stand her sometime. Not really related to fetish through

.... Ah screw it.
Specifically because I find something incredibly appealing with the notion that you have to earn it. It's like having to peel away at a fruit with a thick skin for a long time until you reach the tasty sweet inner core. You get minute and often subtle glimpses of the person inside the facade-like exterior to see a very different person within, like a mystery that needs to be solved if you ever want to know the truth. It's the curiosity that you know there's something there, something different, probably something unique, but you can't quite see it or grasp it yet until you place your effort into it. Eventually you think that if you try hard enough you'll find a greater attraction to what it is you find especially if it turns out to be what you were looking for all along and then some.
Aaaand I've spoken enough in obtuse and needlessly complicated metaphors.
Whatever. Kuuderes. They fascinate me to no end. There, I said it, leave me alone.

I can't help but wonder if it's like that across the board (many of the "fetishes" I have are things I haven't experienced in real life). For example, girls kissing in porn? Okay. Girls kissing in real life? Unnatural and weird. Loli in anime and whatnot? Adorable, cute, innocent, whatever. Ten year olds in real life? Little kids I feel absolutely no attraction to. Quiet girls in fiction? Mysterious and appealing. Quiet girls in real life? Introverts who ultimately aren't a lot of fun to be around.
So why is there such a disconnect? Is it that the things we fetishize literally become objects of our affection, and lose their human aspect? Is it our inability to relate to them that allows the attraction? Does anyone else have a similar distinction between things they like in their minds and things they like in real life?

Regarding girls kissing in public:
Frankly, I find all public kissing(not pecks on the cheeks now, but makeout sessions) to a little bit unpleasant. Sometimes they look like they're just devouring each other's faces...
I think there are some things better done in private.

You all are heroes. I'm almost convinced to rep the first ten posts with fetishes mentioned in reverent respect.
That said, don't ask me. I am pure, innocent, the sweetest gentlest creature of chaste saintliness this side of the Milky Way; I love people for personality, character, integrity, and inner beauty of the soul, and that's as far as the public needs to know.

Section Vice-Chairs:
- serves as an officer of the section and assists in advancing the goals and objectives of the section and RUSA
- as a member of the Executive Committee, attends meetings of the committee at Annual and Midwinter Conferences
- appoints a Nominating Committee that is responsible for producing a slate of candidates for section office. The section vice-chair may not be a member of the nominating committee (see ALA Bylaws, Article III, Section 1a)

- inform the chair of the committee and the RUSA office immediately of any change of address
- forward any committee material of importance to the committee chair at the end of each committee assignment.
Making committee appointments:
Appointments may be made by letter, e-mail, or, initially, by telephone or in person, but must later be confirmed in writing. Section chairs-elect appoint members of section level committees and handle the appointment correspondence for their respective sections.
Terms for members of standing committees are two years with one two-year reappointment permitted. The terms should be staggered so that approximately half expire in any year. Terms become effective on adjournment of an Annual Conference and expire on adjournment of the conference two years later.
There are some exceptions. Nominating, Conference Program, Awards, ad hoc committees in all sections, and CODES Notable Books Council and CODES Reference Sources Committee all follow different rules.
Nominating and Conference Program committees should both be appointed early in the term of the section vice-chair. These committees should begin their work at or before the Midwinter meeting.
Awards committee appointments are normally for two years with no reappointment. Terms of members of ad hoc committees extend for the life of the committee. An incoming section chair need not be concerned with appointments to an ad hoc committee already established unless vacancies occur due to resignations, etc.
CODES Notable Books Council, The Reading List Council,Ã and CODES Reference Sources Committee appointments begin and end on adjournment of the ALA Midwinter Meeting instead of the ALA Annual Conference.
Committee chairs are appointed for one-year terms coinciding with the appointing officer's term as section chair.
There are some limits on committee service. The following is an ALA policy: No person shall concurrently serve in more than three separate positions. Governing board, committee, liaison, subcommittee, and other responsibilities which require service in another position are not in conflict with this policy. Source: ALA Policy Manual 4.4
Before making appointments to committees, the section vice-chair/chair-elect should ask incumbent committee chairs to supply the following information:
- names of persons who, in their opinion, would be good candidates for appointment to their committees
- names of persons who should be reappointed for second two-year terms. (The ALA Bylaws state, "in no case shall a person serve on a committee for more than four years.")
- names of persons who should not be reappointed
- whether the incumbents would like to continue as chairs for another term or would like to recommend someone else for appointment. (Except for the four-year limit on committee service itself, there is no ALA or RUSA limit on the number of years that a committee member may serve as a chair, however care should be taken to ensure regular turn over and to allow others on the committee to serve in the leadership role of chair.)
- Appointment letters or e-mail messages should include the following information:
- length of term and effective dates for beginning and end
- complete name of committee
- purpose of the committee
- a copy of the ALA Policies Relating to Committee and Board Service
- instructions to complete the online appointment acceptance form
- The completed online appointment acceptance forms are automatically sent to the section vice-chair and the RUSA office.
- Appointments should be completed in time for new appointees to be able to observe meetings of the committees at the Annual Conference.
Appointments to RUSA-level committees:
To provide better communication between RUSA-level functional committees and the sections, sections are represented on the following RUSA committees: Access to Information, Conference Program Coordinating, Membership, Nominating, Organization, Planning and Finance, Professional Development, Publications, and Standards and Guidelines.
Section vice-chairs name these representatives and send them an appointment message. Section representatives serve the same term of office as any other appointed member of the committee, usually two years. Section representatives are in no way to be considered ex officio.
When possible, RUSA committee members who serve as section representatives will also serve on the related section committee.
In addition to having the customary responsibilities of a committee member, section representatives are expected to represent the concerns of a section and report back to the section's executive committee about the activity of the RUSA functional committee on which they serve.
Source: RASD Board, January, 1988; reaffirmed by RUSA Executive Committee, October, 2006
Appointments calendar:
- RUSA office sends vice-chair membership printout and instructions on making appointments.
November 1
- Vice-chair appoints a representative to RUSA Nominating Committee, and appoints section's Nominating Committee and Conference Program Planning Committee (if appropriate).
- The Nominating and Conference Program Planning Committees meet.
- Vice-chair appoints all other committees.
April 1
- Deadline for all other section appointees and section representatives to RUSA level committees to return their appointment forms.
Section committees and discussion groups:
Each section may establish standing and ad hoc committees and discussion groups necessary to conduct the work of the section. Sections may amend the committee descriptive statements when appropriate to changing circumstances, and may discontinue any committees or discussion groups when they are no longer needed. These actions should be reported to the RUSA office.
The RUSA office maintains a file of the official descriptive statements for each committee of the division and of each section.
A discussion group is an informal group that allows discussion of topics of common interest during the Annual Conference and Midwinter Meeting. Results of discussions may be prepared by the group for distribution to the relevant parent body. A leader may be chosen by the group to coordinate discussion. Source: ALA Policy Manual 6.10
It is RUSA policy that discussion groups not sponsor programs. Groups that plan special presentations, e.g. speeches or panel presentations as part of their discussion may wish to use the electronic discussion list, RUSA-L, to announce them.
Membership lists:
The RUSA Office e-mails a list of the section's membership to the newly-elected section chair-elect. The office will also send a copy of this list to the section's nominating committee chair on receipt of notice of the appointment.
Evaluation of Sections:
The RUSA Organization Committee reviews sections every five years.
Sections are asked to review their committees and discussion groups and evaluate their effectiveness. Information about the review process is available in Chapter 1: Committees.
RUSA Board:
Schedule permitting, it will be helpful for the vice-chair/chair-elect to attend at least part of the RUSA Board meetings as an observer. When it is impossible for the chair to attend, the vice-chair may attend and participate in the Board's deliberations, but without vote. The section chair is an ex officio voting member of the RUSA Board of Directors during his or her year in office.
Since one of the section chair's major responsibilities as a member of the RUSA Board is to represent the section's interests, it is important for the chair to attend all meetings of the Board. There is no provision in the RUSA Bylaws for Board members to vote by proxy. The RUSA office routinely e-mails Board documents to section chairs-elect to keep them posted on matters before the Board.

Pure Deliciousness
Hi! It's been a while since I last posted and, as it's Thanksgiving week, I just wanted to say how thankful I am to Shelley for holding down the fort over here while I've been dealing with life stuff. I may have been a bit distracted lately, but I've still been trying new vegan goodies and have quite a backlog to share with you. However, it was one product in particular that got me psyched enough to break my silence and share it with you guys. Meet The Lupo:
This all organic hazelnut spread is made simply of hazelnuts, maple syrup, and cocoa power and is brought to you by the awesome folks at Pure Sweets. I mixed it into vegan vanilla ice cream, spread it on toast with bananas, and ate it straight up. All of that and more is recommended. Seriously, SO delicious. Pure Sweets also makes amazing flourless cookies, and I'd be remiss if I didn't mention my husband's favorite, The Frog:
This wonder of a pistachio cookie is deep in flavor and light on guilt as it, along with everything Pure Sweet concocts, is all organic, vegan (of course), and made from whole food ingredients. I hope that this company expands and does so quickly. Their goodies are all so incredibly tasty because of the high quality of the ingredients used and I, for one, can't wait to have some more. Not only that, but their customer service is impeccable and they are a dream to interact with. Go Pure Sweets!!!
I'm am thankful for you, dear readers, and am wishing you all a happy holiday. See you back here next week.
