Big 12 Campus Correspondent
The 2012 season means more to University of Texas swimmers than most -- with the 2012 London Olympics in July, many of head coach Eddie Reese's student-athletes are preparing to compete at the United States Olympic Trials in June.
And senior Jackson Wilcox plans to make a splash in the swimming world.
Originally from Nashville, Tenn., Longhorn men's swimming coaches Eddie Reese and Kris Kubik recruited Wilcox, the four-time Tennessee state champion in the 200m and 500m freestyle events, in Spring, 2008.
"Since high school, I am better in every way," Wilcox said. "My times are dramatically better and my overall mentality and physicality with this sport has definitely improved."
Before he came to Austin, however, Wilcox qualified to compete in the United States Olympic Trials for the 2008 Olympics, though he did not qualify to compete in Beijing.
"It was definitely an eye-opening experience," Wilcox said. "It was the first time I got to swim with competition like that. It was great for me to transition from high school swimming into collegiate swimming."
Although Wilcox did not make it to the biggest sporting stage in the world, he made his way to Austin to continue on his swimming career. Wilcox had a remarkable freshman season and went on to place fifth in the 1650 freestyle, seventh in the 500 freestyle and 18th in the 200 freestyle at the NCAA Championships.
"Team-menship and the legacy of the coaching staff are unparalleled [at Texas]," Wilcox said. "In my opinion, they are two of the best coaches on the planet. They complement each other really well and are super honest. They know not everyone is perfect and are willing to work with us and figure out what is best for us as swimmers."
Finding a real passion and love for the 1650 freestyle event, also known as the 1-mile event, Wilcox was able to improve and as a sophomore placed third at the NCAA Championships in the event.
"I was a middle distance swimmer coming out of high school, but when I started swimming the mile my freshmen year, I had a lot of success with it and have been doing it ever since," Wilcox said.
The United States National Championships were held during his sophomore season, and Wilcox made a name for himself at this meet by placing first in the 1500m freestyle. This feat allowed him to go compete in the FINA World Championships -- against the world's best swimmers where he placed 12th overall.
"I live by doing better than last year with my swimmers," Reese said. "Whatever it was."
Now going into his final collegiate season, Wilcox is training and preparing for his best season yet. Named captain of the Texas' Men's Swimming team, he proves his leadership at every practice, pushing himself and his teammates to do their best.
"He is unsurpassed," Reese said. "He is a killer in workout and in the water. He is one of the hardest workers I have ever had."
At the Longhorns' most recent meet, the Texas Invitational, the men's team placed first over the University of Arizona and University of Southern California, two of the top swim teams in the country. Wilcox was a big part of the success by placing first in the 1650m freestyle event with a time of 14:52.55, just one second less than the NCAA automatic qualifying time for this year's meet.
"My expectations for myself are high this year and my team expectations are even higher than that," Wilcox said.
One of his top competitors is fellow Longhorn swimmer, Michael McBroom. McBroom is one year younger than Wilcox but won the 1650 freestyle at the NCAA Championships in 2011. They are competitors but also valued training companions.
"It is nice to have the returning individual champion to train with this year," Wilcox said. "It lets both of us know what we are going to be up against when it comes to the end of the year. He is an incredibly hard worker and we work really well together. We are both super competitive but at the same time we are best friends."
Reese knows talent when he sees it. After all, he was the head coach for the United States men's swimming team for three different Olympics -- 1992, 2004 and 2008 -- and the assistant coach for the U.S. in 1988, 1996 and 2002.
Wilcox, and every other swimmer at Texas, has been fortunate to have him as their coach to train and prepare them for the Trials.
"I think he is going to be one of the real good surprises at Trials," Reese said.
Wilcox has three months until the NCAA Championships in Washington and three more months after that until the Olympic Trials in Omaha, Neb. He plans on competing in the 200m freestyle, 400m freestyle and 1500m freestyle events.
"Training in itself isn't particularly different," Wilcox said. "But when the one-year gap starts turning into the several months gap, then naturally things are going to get amped up and turned on."

I purchased a 2014 Switchblade and I have a question about their written instructions on using the safety leash and secondary release (it's a bit contradictory).
I wrote them using the ticket system on their site, after almost a week my ticket is still in "new" status, meaning none looked at it. I followed up with another ticket... no go.
Seriously? Does anyone know how to get a hold of them? I'm very deflated about Cabrinha...
PS: If anyone is really familiar with the 2014 iXL bar, the user manual states: for secondary release to function properly you must have the Leash attached. Honestly, the leash doesn't need to be attached since the secondary release is built into the chicken loop. Cabrinha states that the leash is only used when doing unhooked tricks to avoid loosing the kite. The secondary release on the chicken loop will totally detach you from the safety 1x flagging line if needs be, and the presence of the leash does nothing to it. I need to clarify this contradiction, why they say you must have the leash attached for it to function properly?

2013 Football Schedules Released
The 2012 high school football season is almost complete, and the 2013 schedules are already out.
Exact dates and start time have not yet been announced, but we know which team is play which, where, and in what order.
To find a specific football schedule, mouse over 'teams' at the top of this page, and then find your team, based on geographical location.
Here are some notes from our observations:
4A: Same 10 teams, with a 9 game schedule, but the order has been changed up and some rivalries got reversed, meaning if team A traveled to team B in 2012, that team might visit again in 2013, for the second year in a row. A few examples...Gillette goes to Natrona, and East again...East returns to Sheridan, while the Broncs revisit Central. South goes to East again, but at least this time, unlike past years, the Bison get one Cheyenne rival home and visit the other. Evanston visits Rock Springs again, while RS will make another trip to Natrona.
3A: With a couple of exceptions...teams just need to remember the 2012 schedule. Same teams, same order, other place. The only changes are in week 1 for Rawlins and Torrington. The Outlaws will play at Kemmerer, while the TrailBlazers are home vs. Glenrock.
2A East: As far as conference games go, the only change to the schedule is that the last conference game of 2012, is now the first conference game of 2013...and then the remaining conference games are in the same order, at the other place...just moved down 1 week on the schedule. For example...Newcastle-Big Horn was in week 8 of 2012, and it will be the first conference game (week 2) in 2013.
2A West: The conference schedule is the same as 2012...same teams, same order, other place. Most teams have changed up their week 1 opponents.
1A: Now that Wyoming Indian, Saratoga, and Normative Services have downgraded to 6-man, there are only 11 teams left in 1A...6 in the west and 5 in the east. The 2013 season, will have 2 east-west crossovers. One in week 2, the other in week 4, but with an odd numbers of teams, Wind River will not participate in week 2, and Rocky Mountain will not participate in week 4. Southeast returns to Cokeville in week 2, while the Panthers will go to Lingle in week 4. Every east team except Pine Bluffs have an off week in their schedule. PB managed to pick up 2 sophomore teams from bigger schools. The Lusk-Southeast rivalry has been moved from week 3 to week 7.
6-Man: Joining the league is Wyoming Indian, Saratoga, Normative Services, and St. Stehens. Instead the north-south format that has been used the past 2 seasons, 6-man will go to an east-west format. The east consists of Normative Services, Hulett, Kaycee, Midwest, Guernsey, H.E.M. and Saratoga. The west is Little Snake River, Farson-Eden, Wyoming Indian, St. Stephens, Dubois, Meeteetse and Ten Sleep.

- Code: Select all
(defmethod write-int-to-string ((x (eql (mod x #x7FFFFFFF))))
(write-to-string x))
but I think it illustrates the problem. It wouldn't work because it doesn't know what `x' is in the mod application. How would I write that in a general case? That is when I needed an eql-specializer-form to know / use the argument.
Thanks in advance.

Breaking News
The former COO of Napster was killed Sunday during a bike ride in L.A. when he was struck by a Sheriff's patrol car on Mulholland Highway.
65-year-old Milton Olin Jr. -- who worked at the famous music-sharing site from 2000 to 2002 -- was pronounced dead at the scene.
The crash occurred around 1pm and witnesses say Olin was in the bike lane when he was struck.
As for the Sheriff's deputy -- he was hospitalized for cuts to his face and eye stemming from shattered glass from the windshield of the patrol car.
Cops are investigating -- and so far, officials say neither drugs nor alcohol appear to be involved.

I recently read a great post by Pernille Ripp over at her blog titled "I am Nothing Special - Why Are Teachers Afraid to Share theirSuccesses?" I left a comment as it was something I had a strong reaction to as a result of personal experience. Initially, I was not going to share my thoughts on my own blog but felt compelled to share something that has happened to me recently. This is pieces of the comment I left on Pernille's post with some additional reflection.
Recently, I was named as one of the finalists as teacher of the year for my state. Personally, I was proud of it but also felt awkward because I did not know how my fellow teachers in my building would feel about it. I knew I would get some razzing from my friends but honestly, I would do the same in their position. I posted a link to the press release announcing my finalist status on my Facebook page where numerous people such as Pernille congratulated me. However, not one person that I work with made a comment or even clicked "like" on the post. Every single person that commented was a part of my PLN on Twitter or my own family members.
Now, don't construe this as a rant where I am mad other teachers didn't come up and pat me on the back or bake me a cake or that I am seeking attention because that is certainly not what it is. I didn't ask for the attention, and personally, don't care for it. When newspapers were contacting me I felt uncomfortable with it. However, I know that with this attention I am getting my students are better for it. It is giving me an opportunity to share about the work they are doing and the profession I love. It is not my work that is being highlighted as much as that of my students and it is a testament to my students, parents, fellow teachers and entire community. I would be happy for any teacher I work with to receive any recognition or positive press.
Any time we can shine a light on the great work being done in schools it should be celebrated.
Any time we can shine a light on the great work being done in schools it should be celebrated.
I am not sure if it is jealously or some level of insecurity that prohibits some teachers from being proud of each other. When our fellow teachers get recognition for doing something well, we are all part of that. I know that I would not be where I am at or be getting the recognition I am without the people I work with. I would name names at this point but fear some might be embarrassed for being listed as we don't go into this profession to be called out and recognized.
However, I will thank the teacher with the fish tank and "living the dream" who taught me the key to teaching effectively is all about relationship building and who models it for me every single day. I will thank the Language Arts teacher in the room over that took me under his wing and truly taught me how to be a teacher and has been a true friend to me every day. I will thank the 7th grade teacher who shows me every day how love and compassion are the cornerstones of every classroom and trumps all content. I would also thank those teachers that doubt me and my work because they inspire me to work harder and be better every day. Each one of these people and everyone else in my school has contributed to the teacher I am today regardless of if they know that or not.
Anytime positive attention is given to a teacher it benefits the entire school community because it brings that positive attention to a profession that is often short on it. We need to help each other be proud of ourselves and to be even more proud of each other. I am not saying I am a fan of awards or gold stars, but we need to lift each other up and create a culture within our schools that promotes and fosters celebration and pride in each other.

The Seed Bank Coordinator serves to support the partnership between the Chicago Botanic Garden, the national Seeds of Success (SOS) program, and the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew's Millennium Seed Bank Project (MSBP). SOS is an interagency program supporting seed collection of native plant populations to increase the amount of native seed available for use in stabilizing, rehabilitating, and restoring land in the United States. The MSBP partnership saves plants worldwide with a focus on plants most at risk and most useful for the future. The Dixon National Tallgrass Prairie Seed Bank at the Chicago Botanic Garden collects and banks native plant species from the tallgrass prairie region for long-term conservation and use in restoration projects and research.
Development of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) mapping and decision-support tools for targeted seed banking
We use GIS for prioritization of seed-collecting schemes to conserve the broadest possible range of genetic diversity within and among populations of plant species important for restoration. A widespread geographic area, numerous target species and sites, and limited resources demand effective prioritization of seed collection efforts. Spatially explicit decision-support systems using GIS provide a framework to integrate a variety of spatial data, evaluate potential sites and species, and prioritize collecting efforts across a regional scale. GIS can optimize collecting strategies for multiple populations across a species range and aid in conservation decision-making and planning.
Mapping and quantifying shifts in geographic distributions of rare plants in response to climate change
Knowledge of species' distributions is fundamental for conservation planning. Species distribution modeling using Diva-GIS and Maxent software and future climate-change scenarios are integrated in a GIS environment to explore how species distributions may change with a changing climate. Given that range shifts occur with changing climate and rare plants are likely to have difficulty migrating under climate change, ex situ conservation efforts, such as seed banking, may provide the propagules necessary for restoration of habitats in the future.

Nobel Peace laureate Mairead Corrigan Maguire was one of five Irish activists who rode the MV Rachel Corrie toward Gaza last week in a follow-up attempt to break the blockade after Israel's fatal raid on the "Freedom Flotilla" May 31.
Ms. Maguire, a Northern Ireland peace activist, is the youngest person ever to win the Nobel Peace Prize. She received it in 1976 at age 32 for her work in mobilizing hundreds of thousands of women to demand an end to violence in Northern Ireland.
Maguire is a frequent visitor to Israel and the Palestinian territories, who has made news in the region before. In 2004, for example, she traveled to Israel to welcome home nuclear engineer Mordechai Vanunu, who had just been released from prison for divulging Israel's nuclear program to a British newspaper in 1987. In 2007, Maguire was struck in the leg with a rubber bullet during a march from Ramallah to the separation barrier erected by Israel to guard against Palestinian suicide attacks in Israel proper.
IN PICTURES: The Gaza flotilla and the aftermath of the Israeli naval raid
Last week, Maguire and her fellow activists aboard the Rachel Corrie were stopped by the Israeli navy, diverted to the southern Israeli port of Ashdod, and detained incommunicado for several days. She returned to Dublin Monday and spoke to the Monitor by phone from there. The views she expresses are her own. For the Monitor's news coverage of the flotilla and its fallout, please click here.
Why Israel? Why of all the conflicts in the world is this the one that you have decided to devote your time to?
Because I love Israeli and Palestinian people. When I first went to Israel about a decade ago – at the invitation of Rabbis for Human Rights, friends of mine – and saw the ongoing violence, it made me think of Northern Ireland, and I knew that in Israel, like at home, militarism would not solve the problem.
Since my first trip to Israel I have continued to go back, once or even twice a year. I have many friends in both Israel and Palestine, and those friendships are very important. I think the policies of the government are what need to be changed. And I think once they are changed there is a great potential for peace. I don't think the problem is between Arab and Jewish people. It is the [Gaza] siege that must be ended.
Tell me what happened on your trip to Israel. How were you treated by the Israeli authorities and where were you between Saturday, when the Rachel Corrie ship was stopped, and Monday afternoon when you flew back into Dublin.
When we got 30 miles outside Gaza we were told by the Israeli navy that we would not be allowed to go on. They threatened us with force if we did not turn back. At 11 a.m. they appeared with Zodiacs [Israeli navy boats], and there were two navy ships on the horizon. Then, about 35 Israeli navy soldiers came on board. They had a sniffer dog with them.
Our captain took the lead to coordinate with them. He said, "If you are coming on board it will be totally without violence." None of us were armed and it was done in peaceful way. We just stood there on the deck. The soldiers then came on board with full combat gear, faces blackened, and they were carrying hand guns and rifles. They took our passports. We stood there for about two hours as all this happened, and then we were taken to sit in the captain's lounge and later to Ashdod, and from there to the detention center at Ben Gurion Airport [in Tel Aviv] where we were put in cells.
We were kidnapped. From 9 a.m. that Saturday morning, when they knocked down our radar, until the moment we landed in Germany and then in Ireland at 10 a.m. Monday no one knew where we were. They took away our phones and our cameras.
It was not a nice experience. To begin with, we were kidnapped in international waters and everything was taken off of us. One of the girls was strip-searched.
Then, the detention center was not clean, and the people there gave us the cold-shoulder treatment. If you smoked you were allowed to go outside, but it you do not smoke – and I don't – you had to stay indoors. For those who smoked, the guards would not give a light for the cigarettes. And when we asked for water, we were told to drink the tap water.
What about the offer on the part of the Israelis to deliver the aid on board your ship to Gaza themselves, once the cargo had gone through a security check in Ashdod? Was that not a fair or genuine offer in your opinion?
We refused that offer because we are trying to challenge the blockade. The blockade is illegal and in violation of the Geneva conventions. You are denying Gazans their basic human rights.
Never mind the 'Freedom Flotilla.' Is Israel's Gaza blockade legal?
Also, in our cargo, we had humanitarian aid that is not allowed by the Israelis into Gaza. For example, we had 20 tons of paper for printing schoolbooks that was donated by Norway. Under the current list of basics allowed in, school supplies are banned. We also had 550 tons of cement to help rebuild Gaza – but cement is not allowed in either.
We felt that if we were to give our humanitarian aid to the Israelis in Ashdod we had no way of knowing whether it would be passed along to Gaza.
When we were forcibly brought into Ashdod, we saw the Turkish ships from the flotilla in the port, sitting with millions of pounds of confiscated material still on them. So we have asked the Irish government to see what they can do about getting all our aid into Gaza and getting our ships back as well as our personal possessions such as cameras.
Do you think your actions and those of the other activists involved in this flotilla have served to further the cause of peace in the region? Do you think resisting a sovereign state's orders is a peaceful action?
I believe when states have polices that are unjust we all have a moral obligation to challenge them. We are not against the state of Israel or its people, but we believe that civil disobedience helps change polices and Israel's policies need to be changed. Look at what we accomplished in South Africa and in Northern Ireland. It is possible to bring about change. It is only by people mobilizing that governments will change their policies.
There is much talk that not all the activists on board the Turkish-flagged Mavi Marmara, where Israel's fatal raid took place, were peaceful. Did you know anything about militant passengers on board that ship? What do you think of them?
I have been reading the first-hand reports just today, and how the actions of the Israelis were carried out. It was shameful. I think the people to hold responsible here are those in the Israeli government and whoever is in charge at the army who sent young Israeli soldiers into such a difficult and impossible mission.
The entire ship was searched before it sailed. There were no arms on board and everyone had pledged to be peaceful. But what happened was, it was 4 a.m. and helicopters and Zodiacs were approaching, and there was live shooting as the soldiers came on board from the air and the sea. You had over 600 people on that ship, and some surely panicked, and would have been absolutely scared.
You boarded a ship in international waters. This was a civilian ship filled with unarmed people. It's surprising that more people did not die. It was a shameful act of the Israelis. I do hope that those who ordered such an exercise are investigated.
I am a pacifist and totally not violent, and I have spend my life working for non violence and we worked hard to ensure the Rachel Corrie was totally non violent.
I was not on board the Turkish ship but I do believe that with over 600 people, many of them for the first time on the sea…. when they were attacked it must have been extraordinarily frightening. It is the Israelis who behaved badly.
What's next for you? Do you intend to try and return to Gaza in the near future?
In October I will be joining some other Nobel prize-winning women in a trip to Ramallah and to Israel, where we will be meeting people on the ground and advocating for nonviolence. This is no other way. We must support those who are working for a nonviolent and peaceful solution to the conflict. If it can happen in Northern Ireland, it can happen in Israel, too.

PARIS (Reuters) - Italian sprinter Alessandro Petacchi has ended his 18-year professional career during which he claimed 48 stage wins in the grand Tours.
"I feel that it is time to take some time for myself and try to find some new challenges," the 39-year-old Petacchi said in a Lampre-Merida team statement on Tuesday.
"I gave my best, as I always did in the 18 seasons as professional rider".
Petacchi, who turned professional in 1996, won six stages in the Tour de France, 22 in the Giro d'Italia and 20 in the Tour of Spain.
His 2007 Giro results were erased after he failed a dope tests for the banned substance salbutamol, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) saying he had not been cautious enough in taking medication.
A clever sprinter, Petacchi won the green jersey for points classification in the 2010 Tour de France, a feat he also achieved in the 2004 Giro and 2005 Tour of Spain.
He also won the prestigious Milan-San Remo classic in 2005, one year after taking a record nine Giro stages.

Joyce ***½
Don first half *** ½
second half **
(Grotesque thriller)
Halle Berry plays Jordan, a 911 operator who really gets involved in her calls.
The first half of the movie depicts a huge LA call center, where the audience gets a big taste of the complex operation, the variety of calls and the stress they put on the staff. Jordan is put in the difficult situation of saving a young girl from a home invasion and kidnapping. The scene is loaded with tension, leading to an unsuccessful conclusion, which takes its toll on the dedicated Jordan.
Switch to six months later. Jordan is off the phones and serving as a trainer when a call comes in from another young girl who has been kidnapped and is locked in the trunk by a maniacal man. Jordan takes control of the critical situation, calming the girl (Abigail Breslin) down and providing her with instructions to save her life. Most of these are clever and innovative, e.g. kick out the taillights and wave your hand to attract attention. There are some scary, tense scenes as the kidnapper becomes aware of what is happening.
Unfortunately, this is where the movie lost me. There are two grisly deaths, leading to a grotesque and out of control ending, where Jordan and the kidnapped girl gain revenge.
Joyce accepted the ending and liked the movie as a whole entity.
Don, the frustrated writer, would have rewritten the ending to be less violent and grotesque.
Rated a big R, with extreme violence.

is a bell on a bicycle - yes she is
Above above is a photo of me reflected on the bell of my new bicycle.
Nothing has threatened my knitting output more. Not moths, not a cut on the bit of my right forefinger I use to guide the end of a needle, not the boredom of deadline-knitting the last few days before christmas. None of these come near. This is because I generally knit on the bus to work, and come the start of term in October, I plan to be cycling in at least a couple of days a week. That said, I am yet to master cycling down-hill without getting scared of the increased speed and simply wheeling it down the road.
And as it happens, I'm off to the world of the bicycle (also known as the Netherlands) for the next week. I've got five(ish) days in Amsterdam holiday-time, then five(ish) days in Rotterdam for a conference. Any yarn-y (or un yarn-y) recomends?
Because I've not blogged for a bit, and won't for at least another week and a half, I'll finish with a small photo-matrix of some other bits and bobs I've been up to.
Clockwise, from top left-hand corner: 1) Sewing in ends for a quilted computer case I made for a friend (full photo-tute when I'm back). 2) The 'let' sign outside the house we're going to be moving into in mid-September (front view and agent's details). 3) View of the Mersey from Liverpool (taken from just behind the Tate). 4) FO shot of the uptown socks I did for the IW sockalong (my ravelry notes here).

As someone who would much rather climb that descend, I would say that there is nothing wrong with wheeling your bike down the road, rather than panicking that omg you're going to die, every time you commute.
Descents where there are roads joining on to it, and thus the chance that traffic is going to pull out in front of me while i'm whizzing along scare the crap out of me.
luckily my nearest down hill road is a cutting, so nothing can turn onto it until you get passed the bottom, and have slowed way back down.
but regardless: \o/ yay bikes! You're looks great. :)
- Thursday, August 14, 2008
I'm still yet to get hold of a bike, and I really should soon so I can build up my confidence for riding on the road. I am totally envious of the flat though! It's gorgeous and pretty reasonably priced too. Hope you have fun on your holiday and enjoy moving in to that beautiful flat!

Yay for bikes! I love mine so much, and although I never, ever go fast down the hills (in fact I brake almost permanently, and have even been known to shut my eyes in terror - oops), it's still a really speedy way to get around. There are some lovely places to go for bike rides in London too, especially the cycle lanes in the parks.
The new flat looks lovely and I'm oh-so-jealous of your terrace. Wonderful! That's a fab bit of London too.
Have a lovely holiday :)

Enjoy Amsterdam! Be sure to rent a bike there, there are lots of bike rental shops around, ask at your hotel / b&b which one is close by. And then cycle along the canals, but above all: cycle out of the city. There's some pretty decent countryside around Amsterdam, ask at the bike rental shop, they'll know a nice route (I'm dutch, but I'm not from Amsterdam so I don't know anything by heart). Oh and please do me a favour and don't wear a helmet. It's flat. The cars will stop for you. And nothing screams 'I'm a tourist. Please rob me' as much as wearing a helmet :)
Oh and the 'Jordaan' is a nice neighbourhood to stroll around in...have a good time!

the anne frank huis is the obvious don't-miss, we go every single time we are over there. it never gets old, or less moving.
check out albert cuyp markt if you like street markets. the flower market is on the singel in front of the jolly hotel amsterdam (we stayed there once...picturesque with the clock tower right outside our window and the flower market below... until you have to listen to the trains squealing around the corner late at night ;]). vondelpark is wonderful for relaxing on the grass and taking in the surroundings.
oh, and i highly recommend dubbelfrisss, a fruit drink you can buy at the supermarket. =]

de afstaap is a nice little yarn shop about 5-10 minutes walk away from the anne frank huis en route to the university aula (which is how I managed to manouevre my boyfriend past there). It's at 12 oude leliestraat. Lots of Rowan as I recall and some nice solid Regia but I think there might be some other stuff too.
Have a great trip!

That is a beautiful house! As a fellow Londoner I am deeply envious. Firstly because I worked in Peckham when I first moved here, and often daydreamed about living in some of the gorgeous houses around there. And secondly because I now live in Earlsfield (SW London), in a teeny-tiny one-bedroom flat because the prices here are nonsensical!
Have a fantastic time in Amsterdam, it's a brilliant city.

I bet you guys thought I forgot about this runner, huh? It's been almost a week since I last showed you anything from this sketch. Well, to tell you the truth….I was at a place in the drawing that I would rather avoid- Yep the shoes! Ugh!! Didn't think I could do those shoes justice.
But with everything else that I'm learning about sketching/drawing….Compartmentalize! Meaning, I should break the image down. (As best I can)
When my sketch is done with the graphite portion, I like to outline the darker edges with my Copic 0.05 multi-liner in gray. I like the look that it leaves. It just makes things POP! The trick is…to know what you want to pop.
Here's our Fitness runner (99% complete). I may have shaded in a bit more around the upper thighs and knee after taking this picture.
And here she is at the point of completion with the outline applied. Just a little more 3D, don't you think?
I can see my errors:
- Back too broad
- Back leg…knee-to-foot too long.
- Possibly left arm could've been a wee-bit longer.
- Winged the hair….haha
- Winged a lot of those darn shoe contours….haha

One of the nation's most notorious mysteries is on the brink of being solved, state and local officials said Thursday, as they revealed DNA evidence directly linking Albert DeSalvo to the last of the 11 murders committed by the Boston Strangler during a reign of terror that stretched across the region from 1962 to 1964.
Investigators and gravediggers plan to visit a Peabody cemetery on Friday afternoon to exhume DeSalvo's remains. The intent is to retrieve a DNA sample that officials said should confirm DeSalvo raped and killed Mary Sullivan, a 19-year-old woman whose body was found in her Beacon Hill apartment in January 1964, thus putting to rest doubts over DeSalvo's guilt that have festered across half a century.
At their extraordinary press conference Thursday, state and Boston law enforcement officials methodically briefed the public on an investigation that has largely been carried out in the secrecy of crime labs and musty evidence vaults. It began with the discovery of old evidence — strips of a blanket and slides holding seminal fluid — and reached something of a pinnacle this past January when an undercover police officer grabbed a water bottle that had been discarded by DeSalvo's nephew and that held the DeSalvo family DNA.
That DNA provided a link to the samples left at the Sullivan crime scene.
"We may have just solved one of the nation's most notorious serial killings," Attorney General Martha Coakley said.
Sullivan's nephew, Casey Sherman, who once expressed serious doubts that DeSalvo killed his aunt and accused officials of stonewalling his family, fought back tears as he expressed gratitude for their persistence.
"I've lived with Mary's memory every day, my whole life, and I didn't know, nor did my mother know, that other people were living with her memory as well," he said. "It's amazing to me today to understand that people really did care what happened to my aunt. . . . It's taken 49 years for police to legitimately say they got their man."
The water bottle used by DeSalvo's nephew was recovered at a construction site. An attorney for DeSalvo's relatives said they were furious that a DNA sample was taken without their knowledge and that they would have provided one if they had been asked. But the Suffolk district attorney's office said that the family had not been cooperative in the past.
The Boston Strangler killed 11 women between 1962 and early 1964, a crime spree that stretched from Boston and Cambridge to Lawrence, Lynn, and Salem. The women were between 19 and 75 years old. Most of them were raped and strangled with their stockings or cords.
The city and its suburbs were in a panic as people rushed to buy guns and guard dogs.
"It was a crisis situation," said former senator Edward Brooke, who was then the state's attorney general. "The public was crying for some relief."
They got it 1967 when it was revealed that DeSalvo, while being held on a series of unrelated rape charges, had confessed to killing 13 women. But his confession was ruled inadmissible in court, and he was never charged in the Boston Strangler cases. Instead, the handyman was sentenced to life in prison for the unrelated rape charges. An inmate stabbed DeSalvo to death in November 1973, when he was 42 years old.
On Friday, Boston detectives from the homicide unit's cold case squad, the prosecutor in charge of the case, and assistant attorney generals from Coakley's office will attend the exhumation of DeSalvo's body. The remains will be taken to the medical examiner's office on Albany Street, where a DNA sample should be retrieved by the end of the day. The results could come back as early as next week, officials said.
Suffolk District Attorney Daniel F. Conley said the results will answer questions only about the Sullivan case. But officials are hoping that DNA can help solve 10 other cases, even though there is no known biological evidence from those murders that can be tested.
Many of DeSalvo's family members have maintained his innocence, in part because his confession contained inconsistent details about the crimes.
In 2000, Sherman stood alongside one of DeSalvo's nephews at a press conference and demanded that their private team of forensic experts be allowed to test evidence from Sullivan's killing. At the time, Sherman said authorities had knowingly left the real killers on the street.
Both families had the bodies of DeSalvo and Sullivan exhumed to obtain DNA samples. In 2001, a group of scientists working with both families said test results showed that while DeSalvo could not be ruled out as a suspect, they suggested strongly he did not rape and murder Sullivan.
On Thursday, Conley said he could not speak to those test results. "We weren't confident in any event," he said. "Those were not done by law enforcement."
Conley said the results that law enforcement has obtained from two private laboratories show a 99.9 percent likelihood it was DeSalvo's DNA at the crime scene. Evidence was taken from semen found on strips of a blanket discovered at the scene and from Sullivan's body.
Analysts at both laboratories, which were working separately, obtained a DNA profile of the same unknown male. That profile was a familial match to the DNA taken from the water bottle discarded by DeSalvo's nephew.
Elaine Whitfield Sharp, a lawyer representing DeSalvo's family, said his relatives have misgivings about the new evidence.
"It's very strong evidence; there's no doubt about that," she said. "But I think it's important that from this evidence you can't yet 100 percent infer that he killed Mary. Just because you find DNA that matched somebody on their body doesn't mean they murdered them."
Sharp said DeSalvo's confession helps buttress the family's contention that he did not commit the crimes.
"He made so many mistakes in his confessions that his confessions actually exonerate him, rather than indict him," she said.
But F. Lee Bailey, who represented DeSalvo when he confessed to the Boston Strangler murders, said his client knew too many details that had not been revealed in the press.
"I believe that the detectives who determined that he was the man . . . were correct when they said close the file, this is the guy," Bailey said.
For Brooke, the former attorney general, who is now 93, knowledge that there could finally be hard evidence connecting DeSalvo to at least one of the crimes is a huge relief.
"This is something that has been hanging over us for a long, long time," he said. "If that's all behind us and it's over, thank God. It's done. Let us pray."Eric Moskowitz of the Globe staff contributed to this report. Maria Cramer can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

October 6 - December 16, 2010
Andy Coolquitt, Jim Drain, Brian Dewan, Carla Edwards, Josh Faught,
What an individual can fashion using bare hands is interesting given our contemporary relationship to time, manufacturing and digital culture. Information is instantaneous, labor for consumable goods is exported and the exponential growth of technology combined with natural awareness of mortality makes time especially precious. Craft and craftsmanship require time. In Glenn Adamson's book, Thinking Through Craft, published in 2007, he credits Pattern and Decoration art of the 1970's with "pave(ing) the way for a transformation of attitudes towards ornament, gender and ethnicity in the contemporary art world." Previously, craft in fine art had specific political agendas. Currently, craft appears alongside every other discipline, facet and mode in contemporary art. Its renewed presence signals an appreciation for the hand-made, not machine made object. Crafted objects preserve the fleeting luxury of time.

Packaging Performs in the Marketing Mix
Promotional campaigns use packaging to deepen the consumer/brand relationship even on the web.
For as long as there have been food brands, there have been promotional tie-ins on food packaging — think on-pack coupons, mail-in offers and instant-winner sweepstakes. Now, with the growing significance of electronic media, packaging's role in the promotional mix is expanding to leverage that technology.
"The package has to convey what this product is about and even a little bit of the expectation of the experience of the [product], so it's critical that the brands constantly look to use packaging in new and unique marketing ways," says Tom Egan, vice president of industry services at the Packaging Machinery Manufacturers Institute, Arlington, Va.
Even promotions that have been in existence for many years, like Campbell Soup's Labels for Education (LFE) program, are finding ways to play in the digital age.
The fundamentals of LFE remain unchanged: Consumers mail in UPC codes from specially marked packages to earn points that can be redeemed for educational materials, equipment and supplies for the school of their choice. Now, to draw on the power of the Internet, the LFE stamp on labels of participating products includes the program's web address (www.labelsforeducation.com). At the web site, consumers can become LFE coordinators, create and manage online accounts for "banked" points, identify bonus offers, redeem points and more.
Brands participating in the LFE program include Campbell's condensed and Chunky soups, SpaghettiO's, V8, Prego, Pepperidge Farm, Wolfgang Puck and Pop Secret.
As one of the newest brands in the program, Pop Secret is using special package graphics to call out its participation. The redesigned Pop Secret carton carries the LFE stamp on the top panel and the stamp plus UPC code on the bottom panel.
In addition, graphics for a promotional Pop Secret package feature an animated figure carrying a stop sign with the LFE logo and the message: "Clip and earn free stuff for your school." The carton's back panel also carries a message about the program. This promotional package, timed for back-to-school sales, will be in the marketplace from July through September 2010. It will be used for three-count and six-count Pop Secret, the brand's top sellers.
LFE was the first manufacturer-sponsored shopper rewards program, according to John Faulkner, director of brand communication, at Campbell Soup Co., Camden, N.J. The program "has been part of American family life since 1973. It is very much in the culture, and it's inexorably linked to Campbell's," he says. "We look at it as a program that says 'thank you' to our consumers."
The household penetration metrics for LFE underscore the program's effectiveness in building brand loyalty. Between 30 percent and 40 percent of households participate in the program at some point during the year, according to Campbell's data.
Campbell Soup is taking advantage of supermarket scanning technology to bring LFE further into the digital age. In a pilot program with two U.S. supermarket chains, the company is trialing electronic redemption for labels. When the cashier scans the label at the point of purchase, the consumer's designated school is automatically credited with the correct amount of LFE points.

Great then, but where is the invoke-quick disassembly? Well, erm, I ran into problems. First of all, I could not figure out the data structures that store the names of other ODEX files that this ODEX file depends on. They seem to be in some sort of data structure at the end of the ODEX file that stores the name of these files but its exact layout remains a mistery for me.
Second, in order to decode invoke-quick statements, iget-object-quick statements also need to be decoded because the type values they put into Dalvik registers are needed for the data flow analyser. The source of this instruction is known as an offset and the mapping of these offsets back to Java types.
I will try to progress with these problems, any help is appreciated.
And now some PR after the boring technical details.
I will make a short presentation about dedexer during the coming Android meetup in London. If you are interested about the tool and central London is accessible for you, let's see each other there.

text: Thursday, March 17, 2011 New in the Literature: Neck Pain (Eur Spine J [Epub ahead of print]) Patients with neck pain who are likely to respond to home-based mechanical cervical traction (HMCT) might be identified with a clinical predication rule, say authors of an article published online ahead of print January 15 in European Spine Journal. A physical therapy clinic at a Singapore hospital conducted the prospective cohort study, which included patients with neck pain referred to the clinic for physical therapy. A HMCT program was given to participants for 2 weeks. The patient's demographic data, Numerical Pain Scale (NPS) score, Neck Disability Index (NDI), and Fear-Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire score were collected, and standard physical examination of the cervical spine was conducted before intervention. The NPS score, NDI, and a global rating of perceived improvement were collected after the intervention was completed. A total of 103 patients participated in the study; 47 had a positive response to HMCT. A clinical prediction rule with 4 variables (Fear-Avoidance Beliefs Work Subscale score < 13, pre-intervention pain intensity ≥ 7/10, positive cervical distraction test, and pain below shoulder) was identified. With satisfaction of at least 3 out of 4 variables (positive likelihood ratio = 4.77), the intervention's success rate increased from 45.6% to more than 80%. Comments Hi nice concept but unless you change the life style the relief temporary. It will comeback again Posted by Komady on 3/18/2011 5:56 AM Don't believe lifestyle was a tested variable. Perhaps modifying the pain would allow for a change in lifestyle, however. Posted by sam on 3/20/2011 1:11 AM It would seem if you can break the cycle of pain,tension,inflamation, you might see a decrease in pain levels that are more manageable. Posted by John on 3/21/2011 11:13 AM Posture is also a big factor. Patients who have rounded shoulders and show kyphosis in their thoracic spine get temporary results with exercise. But they need to have that lifestyle change in working to reduce posture described above. I have to exercise my neck and scapular muscles and wear a figure 8 soft brace (when driving long distances) to keep my posture from returning to what is now comfortable for me. I feel that all treatments for neck pain should include scapular muscle strengthening and posture work. Posted by Colleen Spencer -> @MU[>K on 1/21/2015 10:38 AM

FULLERTON, Calif. (AP) - Ralphy Holmes scored 20 points Saturday to lead Cal State Fullerton to a 68-59 Big West Conference victory over UC Santa Barbara in a matchup of the conferences' top offensive and defensive teams.
Holmes scored six points in a 15-0 Fullerton run, turning a close game into a 55-38 Titan lead with eight minutes, 58 seconds remaining.
Jamaal Brown added 13 points and a season-high 14 rebounds for Fullerton, and Yaphett King scored 14 points.
Fullerton (10-7, 5-4) averages 77 points per conference game, and UCSB (7-11, 4-6) has given up an average of 58 points.
Santa Barbara, which got 16 points from Alex Harris and 12 points each from Cameron Goettsche and Joe See, lost for only the second time in its last 13 games against Fullerton.
The Gauchos are 1-9 on the road this season.
