PHILADELPHIA — The 76ers finally got their man.
Brett Brown accepted the team's head coaching offer on Monday, according to several league sources. The former San Antonio Spurs assistant will receive a four-year, guaranteed contract.
The sources asked to remain anonymous because the hire had not been officially announced. The Sixers are expected to introduce Brown, a former South Portland High School basketball star, in a news conference in the coming days.
Brown, 52, will replace Doug Collins, who resigned on April 18, and will become the team's eighth coach since Larry Brown stepped down after the 2002-03 season.
"I think it is good for the organization," Sixers swingman Evan Turner said of Brown's hiring. "I really don't know much about him, but I think he will be good for young guys and the future."
That's what the Sixers are banking on.
They finished a disappointing 34-48 last season, and several players have moved on.
Some of the more notable departures are point guard Jrue Holiday (Memphis) via a trade and swingman Dorrell Wright (Portland), swingman Nick Young (Los Angeles Lakers) and center Andrew Bynum (Cleveland) in free agency. Bynum, who has his chronically injured knees, never played for the Sixers after the former Lakers all-star was acquired in a four-team trade last August.
Brown must rebuild with a team that will have two rookies — center Nerlens Noel and point guard Michael Carter-Williams — as the faces of the franchise.
But as a renowned skill-development coach, the native of South Portland, Maine, has been coveted by the Sixers for some time.
Brown held an unofficial post with the Spurs during their NBA championship season in 1998-99. He rejoined coach Gregg Popovich's San Antonio staff in July 2002 as an assistant coach/director of player development. Brown moved to the bench as an assistant coach before the 2006-07 season.
As the Spurs' player-development coach, he was credited with refining and improving specific aspects of players' games during individual workouts. Brown worked with Hedo Turkoglu on 3-point shooting, Bruce Bowen on his pull-up jumper and Rasho Nesterovic on his defensive spacing and rebounding.
Brown also had a hand in the development of NBA all-star point guard Tony Parker, whose scoring average went from 9.2 to 15.5 points per game during the first season he worked with him.
Popovich once said that Brown was brilliant at working out players, no matter what the focus was.
Brown also coached for 14 seasons — nine as a head coach — in the Australia National Basketball League. He also coached the Aussies' national team to a seventh-place finish in the 2012 London Olympics.
He was in line to replace the departed Mike Budenholzer as San Antonio's lead assistant before accepting the coaching job with Philadelphia. Budenholzer was hired as Atlanta's head coach in May.
Among the candidates for the Sixers job were assistant Michael Curry, a holdover from Collins' staff; Boston assistant Jay Larranaga; Atlanta assistant Kenny Atkinson; and Chicago assistant Adrian Griffin.
Curry is under contract for another season with the Sixers along with assistant coaches Aaron McKie and Jeff Capel.

'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a peripheral was stirring, not even a mouse.
The Dropcams were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there.
The Nexuses were charging by the kids' beds,
While visions of Angry Birds danced in their heads.
And Mama with her Mini, and I my iPhone,
Were tapping away by that pale LCD glow.
When out on the lawn there arose such a boom,
I sprang from the bed when a flash filled the room.
Away to the window I flew like a tweet,
And saw an old man shaking his fist in the street.
The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow
Gave an Instagram filter to objects below.
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a miniature sleigh, and eight tired reindeer.
The driver was grumbling as my skin it did tingle,
And I reached for my iPod to Google "Kris Kringle."
But, to my dismay, my device, it was dead
And throughout the house LEDs all flashed red.
The little old man looked around and with a voice full of tension:
"I'm sorry to wake you but I need your attention.
I meant not to scare you or cause your kids fear
But I just launched an EMP bomb to shut down your gear."
"Every year I've been coming and dropping off toys
And hiding from all the good girls and good boys
But these days I fly by and see no Christmas dreams
'Cause the kids are all playing games while Netflix it streams."
"And you mums and fathers, with your laptops on laps
Aren't sleeping but tweeting, Facebooking, and Chatting With Snaps.
You barely have time to look your kids in the eye
Let alone leave me a nice piece of pie."
"So now all your gadgets and gizmos are retired
They'll be back on by New Year's and I'll home by the fire.
And for a few days at least you guys can just chat
Instead of Skyping your kids when it's time for a bath."
And the effect was immediate, scary, and stark.
We had to look up from our iPads and stare into the dark
And watch with wonder the soft-falling snow
And the crisp winter moon and stars that did glow.
And I looked over at Mama and she looked at me
In a way that I remembered from back in '83.
She held out her hand and in the window we stood
While others woke up in our neighborhood.
The kids weren't distracted with Liking their tweets
And they grabbed their galoshes and took to the streets.
They made snowmen and angels and sang Christmas cheers
And patted the eight tiny, impatient reindeer.
And they didn't ask for Mario, Metroid, or Mickey
Instead they read books and got themselves sticky
Eating popcorn and cookies and drinking hot fresh cocoa
And talking of Christmases long, long ago.
Looking around, old Santa was pleased.
He nodded and listened to the sound of the breeze.
His beard like silver in the moonlight did shine.
"It's Christmas!" he yelled. "You should all be offline!"
He put his sleigh into drive, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
But I heard him exclaim, 'ere he drove out of sight,
"Turn off your gadgets, and to all a good night!"

Igor Ukrasin is a Managing Director of Credit Suisse in the Investment Banking division, based in London. He is a member of the European Energy Group and is responsible for covering oil and gas clients in Europe.
Mr. Ukrasin joined Credit Suisse First Boston in August 1998 and has worked on a wide range of assignments including mergers and acquisitions, equity and debt capital raising transactions. Mr. Ukrasin has advised corporate clients including BP, ConocoPhillips, KazMunaiGas, Lukoil, PKN Orlen, TNK BP and Total.
Mr. Ukrasin has an M.B.A. in Finance and Real Estate from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania and an M.S. in Applied Mathematics from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology.
What are Credit Suisse expectations with respect to the graduates? Which qualities you believe are essential for successful career in Credit Suisse?
- We are looking for well rounded people with strong analytical and interpersonal skills who have an interest in a career in finance. Successful candidates usually come from a top tier university. Academic achievements (graduation with honours, published research papers, academic prizes and stipends) play an important role in our selection process as they indicate the strength of analytical skills as well as a commitment to success. But we also looking for people who have interests outside of their field of study such as playing sports, playing a musical instrument, doing voluntary work – it helps to broaden the horizons of a future banker.
We know that Credit Suisse recruits graduates from all over the world. How in your opinion Russian students differ from other students?
- Russian graduates usually rate very highly on analytical skills and their work ethics. The only advice I would give them is to ensure they invest time into practicing their business English. During the interview they will also be assessed on whether they can adapt easily to an international environment. We encourage students to spend a few months abroad as part of an exchange programme.
What is your message to the students who plan this year to apply for Credit Suisse vacancies and internship programs?
- Do your homework and try to understand the nuances of the job you apply for. The most successful candidate is one who knows what he wants, understands the requirements of a job and knows how he can add value.

By Harvey Goldberg
There are often two histories for most events: what actually happened and what is perceived to have happened. This is akin to "remembering only the good times" from the past. Regarding JFK and PT-109, many believe that the history of the 109 boat began and ended with Lt. John F. Kennedy. Not true. At least the 'beginning' part.
Because of their much publicized exploits during World War II, the U.S. Navy's motor torpedo boats - the PT or 'mosquito' boats - have long caught the imagination of untold numbers of Americans. A total of 625 of the craft were built for the U. S. Navy during the war. They were too small and too numerous to be given individual names, so they were referred to by "number". Two of the boats remain in the public consciousness; PT-41 was publicized for evacuating General McArthur from the Philippines in a subsequent book and movie, "They Were Expendable" and of course, PT-109, the story of which most of us are aware – in part. The 109 boat became famous because of her last skipper who just happened to be elected the 35th President of the United States.
PT-109 was delivered to the Navy on July 10, 1942 from the Norfolk (VA) Navy Yard. She was transported with other boats in her squadron aboard the Liberty Ship S.S. Joseph Stanton to the Solomon Islands where the 109 saw extensive action in the waters around Guadalcanal between August 7, 1942 and February 1, 1943, America's first offensive operation of the war.
The boat took part in the battles off Savo Island, Ironbottom Sound, Tulagi, Gavutu, Tanambogo, and Florida Islands, responsible for almost nightly combat patrols against Japans infamous "Tokyo Express" during 22 patrols. She sank a number of barges carrying Japanese reinforcements, was credited with shooting down three Japanese aircraft, also attacking several enemy destroyers and cargo vessels; The PT also performed life-saving duties, picking up sailors from other boats that were sunk in combat. They suffered casualties and battle damage, and the original crew of the 109 was replaced over time.
Lt. J/G John F. Kennedy sailed to the Pacific as a replacement aboard LST 449. He was quickly introduced to the war when the convoy was attacked by a flight of Japanese dive bombers. Fresh from stateside PT-Boat duty, Kennedy did not look the part of a warship commander; He was thin, frail-looking, and had a "strange [Boston] accent". Kennedy was designated as a replacement for MTB (Motor Torpedo Boat) Squadron 2, and took command of PT-109 on April 25, 1943. The boat had already been at war for nearly eight months.
The crew of the 109 now included Commanding Officer Lt. Kennedy, Exec. Ensign Leonard Thom, Ensign George 'Barney' Ross, and ten seamen
The first duty of the new crew was repair and refurbishing PT-109: repainting, engine replacement, tune-ups, equipment repair, and above all, training, training, and more training – until they could operate as a team. The daily routine was the same. After a night of patrolling, the men would refuel the boat, try to get a few hours sleep, make repairs, and re-supply. The most difficult job was refueling. It was done by hand, hauling 55-gallon drums of gasoline on deck and pumping them into the boat's fuel tanks. It took about 3,300 gallons (and 4½ or more hours) to fill a PT's tanks.
On May 30 several boats, including the 109, were ordered to the Russell Islands in preparation for the invasion of New Georgia. After the capture of Rendova Island, the PT boat operations were moved there. From that base PT boats conducted nightly operations around New Georgia and patrolled the Ferguson and Blackett Straits to give warning of Japanese warships approaching U.S. forces in the area.
On August 1st, Japanese bombers struck the base, destroying two of the boats in the squadron. Kennedy's PT-109 and 14 other boats were later sent on patrol through Ferguson Passage to Blackett Strait.
In the PT attack that followed, half the boats spotted and attacked enemy destroyers. After firing their torpedoes, they were ordered to return and reload. None of the remaining boats, including PT-109, had radar and none were unaware that others had already engaged the enemy. PT-109, PT-162, and PT-169 were ordered to continue patrolling the area in case the enemy ships returned. Around 2:00 a.m. on August 2, 1943, on a moonless night, Kennedy's boat was rammed by the Japanese destroyer Amagiri, instantly killing two members of the crew. This was followed by the crew's survival and eventual rescue and pickup on August 8, 1943 by PT-157

$150.00Original very large size (27" x 40 1/2") movie poster displayed at a theater for the special engagement of PT 109 "The true story of young John F. Kennedy and his actual wartime adventure in the South Pacific. A remarkable insight into the qualities inherent in this man that were to later make him a legend in his own time." Featuring Cliff Robertson, James Gregory and Robert Culp. Presented by Warner Brothers. Authentic. Would look fantastic framed.
$49.95Original PT 109 KENNEDY tie bar in very good condition. Produced by, and inscribed on the reverse by the original manufacturer "Jolle". PT-109 was a patrol boat commanded by Lieutenant, junior grade John F. Kennedy in the Pacific Theater during World War II. Kennedy's actions to save his surviving crew after the sinking of PT-109 made him a war hero, which proved helpful in his political career and helped him get elected President of the United States. A great gift idea for the JFK collector.

MASTER IN ADVANCED ECOLOGICAL BUILDINGS – MAEBgrab small bag Jasper Conran by J 'Muswell' Pink xYanCBxUqw
Our Academic Committee is still reviewing applications. In the meantime, we will keep IAAC's application process open until all Masters courses are full. If you would like to apply, please complete our online application form as soon as possible.
The Master in Advanced Ecological BuildingsConran Fran' Jasper by bag bucket 'San J Black qw6axvEwnz is a 12-month immersive academic programme with an emphasis on using a practice-orientated approach to train professionals with advanced expertise in the design and construction of ecological buildings.
The programme takes place in Valldaura Labs, in Barcelona, Spain.
During the first six months in Barcelona, students will embark on a series of intensive and cumulative modules and workshops that will tackle all the fields interrelated with the design and construction of advanced ecological buildings, including material, thermal and metabolic building systems.
After developing the aforementioned skills, students will collectively create the design concept, strategies, fabrication techniques and blueprints for an ecological building prototype that they will build during the last three months of the programme.

detail Debut bag bar Navy clutch CONTEXT AND AGENDASquare' tan flapover crossbody 'Trinity leather Small Radley bag light T4Oxqwf
Current discourses on sustainability and design do not yet adequately frame questions of energy and ecology. Whether you consider how building design overlooks landscapes and urbanisation interdependencies; or incomplete interpretations of ecological processes that could otherwise better support buildings, urbanisation, and life today; or how the material choices in buildings are governed by stylistic abstract notions instead of something ecologically more powerful, the Master in Advanced Ecological Buildings aims for a more ambitious and comprehensive approach of energy and ecology for the built environment.
Following up on the urban researched carried by IAAC in the last years in fields such as Solar Housings, Eco neighbourhoods, bag clutch Debut detail Navy bar Internet of Energy, Hydrogrid, and Navy bag detail Debut clutch bar Digital Fabrication, the Master in Advanced Ecological Buildings is orientated in training professionals in the design, prototyping, and fabrication of buildings as ecological and thermodynamic systems.
This framework of thinking and operating couples both small and large-scale processes: from the material to the geographical scales. For example, the design of urban wood buildings has far-reaching effects on forestry practices or global carbon cycles. How designers might better characterise the exchanges and feedback looks and potential retrofitting of matter and energy across this multiple spatial and temporal scales are central to the pedagogy of this Master.
This approach is necessary for a more thermodynamically forceful and ecologically powerful design practice for the future.
The MAEB allows students to examine material and energy issues – broadly defined, from the material to the geographical – across disciplines and scales, taking full advantage of the unique location of Valldaura Self–Sufficient Labs, IAAC's fabrication lab located in the forest, its fabrication infrastructure and the potentials of its surrounding territories.
The curriculum of the programme is diverse: from short workshops with leading experts to module courses, regular seminars and lectures, and to a year-long project with an emphasis on real-scale prototyping. The Master addresses the question of the design as a comprehensive, intellectual and applied project in which prototyping and fabrication processes are a central pedagogic component, emphasising the role of the architect as a hands-on applied maker.
Each Master candidate will develop technological and fabrication seminars, ecological and thermal analytical frameworks and real-scale prototypes to have a unique expertise in the development of ecological and thermodynamic buildings. The Master will also provide a unique opportunity to create a real-size building prototype as the final Master project. From the material to the territory, the Master in Ecological Buildings foresees the design, development, and implementation of a new wave of buildings, prototypes, technologies and design solutions of true ecological value that can be extended systematically to be part of the next urban future.
The Master programme is orientated to engineers, architects, artists, makers and designers, and graduates in any discipline related to the crafting of the built environment. The programme will be developed with the collaboration of companies and industry leading experts from around the world with the goal of forming new professionals interested in leading the design of ecological buildings worldwide.
The programme is led by Vicente Guallart, the former chief architect of the city of Barcelona, which is one of the world's best cities for architecture, constantly developing a signature design and construction of advanced buildings and environments recognised worldwide.

Have Mercy, 'This Old Ark' – Free MP3 Download
Emo has certainly evolved from its primordial beginnings. From the intricate melodies of Sunny Day Real Estate, the genre took a discouraging detour through screamo, which ultimately killed the whole movement ... or did it?
In recent years, the 20-somethings that were dedicated to emo's initial proliferation in their young teenage years have themselves begun making emo music. But it's evolved enough that it sounds more like it did in the early days, and at the same time, it's still rough around the edges.
Enter Have Mercy. The Baltimore-based band only have a few tunes out there right now, but they'll soon be tearing up the Eastern Seaboard with their first LP, 'The Earth Pushed Back.'
Lead single 'This Old Ark' offers quite the dynamic introduction to these fellas. Subdued guitars reign surprisingly heavy while frontman Brian Swindle sings like a Civil War mercenary pleading for stale bread: Very emo, very cool.
"When we were on tour with the Jealous Sound in October, I remember loading into a venue on Long Island and heard someone whistling the end of 'This Old Ark,'" Swindle tells Diffuser. "I looked back and it was Mike from the Jealous Sound, who became a good friend of ours that week. I didn't even say a thing to him, and he says, 'You guys write some catchy songs, man. I can't get it out of my head.' I think that's when we realized we would put 'This Old Ark' on the full length."
Rage quietly, emo comrades, and grab 'The Earth Pushed Back' on May 21 via Topshelf Records.

My latest in the Weekly Standard deals with Osama bin Laden's files. The Obama administration, despite its supposed commitment to transparency, has released just 17 files and a handful of video clips from a corpus totaling "hundreds of thousands of documents and files." Tom Donilon, Obama's national security adviser, has said that the documents and files would fill a "small college library."
There are compelling reasons to think that the administration has politicized the documents' contents and this has a direct bearing on the course of America's counterterrorism strategy.

When it comes to injuries, will the New York Mets ever learn? Zack Wheeler has been shut down for the season after complaining of shoulder stiffness last weekend in Philadelphia.
Smart move.
However, Wheeler was examined only by an on-call doctor at the park in Philly, and as of now hasn't been examined by Mets' doctors. So far, no MRI.
After what happened with Matt Harvey, who is facing Tommy John surgery after a sore forearm was neglected, one would think the Mets would take a cue.
Usually, teams give their players physicals after the season, along with conditioning and rehab programs. Hopefully, Wheeler will get a full exam, including a MRI.
Personally, I believe all pitchers should receive a MRI after each season just to check the wear-and-tear on the arm.
Who knows if such a step were taken that the Mets might have known about Jeremy Hefner, who had Tommy John surgery.
The Mets were careless with Harvey, and the pitcher didn't help himself by pitching with discomfort. They were also reckless with Jenrry Mejia, and let him pitch with bone spurs, even though they had him scheduled for surgery in the offseason.
I certainly hope Wheeler was paying attention this summer.
The Mets' medical practices have long been criticized, and rightfully so. When Sandy Alderson was hired CEO Jeff Wilpon said there would be a new culture, and that included a change in the handling of injured players.
The route from when the injury occurred to how it was initially handled – first by the trainers and then the medical staff – and rehab after surgery would all be examined.
It has mostly been the same old story.
Now, after Harvey, we learn Wheeler's sore shoulder was examined not by a Mets' doctor, but an on-call physician at the park in Philadelphia.
And, instead of going back to New York for a MRI, he was allowed to dress up as a bride in the team's annual rookie hazing.
Memo to Wheeler: You're in the major leagues and have a sore shoulder. The honeymoon is over.
If the Mets won't do it for you, then get your own MRI. It's your future. Take care of it.
Your comments are greatly appreciated and I will attempt to respond. Follow me on Twitter @jdelcos

While we here are in no immediate danger, fires have been occurring no less than thirty minutes from my house and the smoke is carried on the wind. We live in a forested area, so we have planned for evacuation should any danger appear, but it seems we are out of harms way. Saturday was our hottest day on record and reached 48 degrees here at home. The winds have been fierce, up to 90 kilometers per hour, and the sky like nothing I have ever seen before. As we sat at home, keeping out of the heat and out of danger, we watched the wind tear through and the sky turn an eerie ash white. No sign of the sun, blue or clouds, just a shade that spelt disaster. We knew things were burning but not how badly.
The scale of this disaster and the total loss of lives is still not known as the fires continue to rage. Entire families who could not escape in time have been lost. Parents have left children with friends, never to return. Husbands could not reach their wives and children trapped at home as fire rained down.
I can hardly tell you how devastating this is for people in our community, but as always people rise to the occasion, show their best selves and pull together to do what they can to help.

UPDATE 11th Feb
Thank you so much for your kind wishes, thoughts and prayers. Sadly the death toll has now reached over 130 and they are predicting to see it reach 300 in a day or two. At the moment the fires are still burning (much further from me), but in an area that is directly affecting my extended family with parts of their properties being burnt. Fortunately they haven't been injured, but as you can imagine it is very much on my mind. While business carries on in town here it is with somber moods and heavy hearts.

Leah recently graduated from an acting school which she was attending since January of 2011. She has also signed a contract with an agency in the United States. According to her agency, Leah will be active as an actress and talent not only in the United States, but also in Japan if she receives any offers.
Leah left a vivid impression as the "kurofune (a word used to describe a person or thing arriving from the West) of the gravure industry". She then made her singing debut and appeared on the 'Kohaku Uta Gassen' for the first time in 2007 for a medley together with AKB48 and Nakagawa Shoko. At the peak of her popularity, Leah made a surprise marriage and pregnancy announcement.
After giving birth to her daughter in April of 2009, Leah had an active career as an actress. However, her relationship with her husband was on the rocks. Their divorce was finalized in December of 2010 and Leah received full custody over their daughter. Since then, she returned to America to take acting classes.
On December 14th, Leah updated her blog for the first time in a year and four months. Titled "Hello!", the blog read, "Everyone, knock knock... Anybody home? Today!!!! It's really been awhile! This is big peach, Leah Dizon! How have you been? I resumed my activities in New York!"
Leah has also launched her official Facebook page, which already features a handful of pictures.

In liu of the past few charged topics, I thought of a system that goes beyond smiley faces. it seems often, without a voice behind the words, it is often impossible to know how serious someone really is in their postings, so...
based off of LMG's patented system of signature content severity, or S.C.S.
forgive me Greg, I will use your name as the example here.
Limme,G, LMG: Light hearted, playful, all is good.
Greg: might be something serious here
GREG: watch out.
GREGORY BOYINGTON: Take this very very seriously!
With this patented system, there can be no confusion whether or not someone is joking or F'in serious as a heart attack.

Winemaker Notes
Critical AcclaimAll Vintages
One of the world's most highly regarded regions for wine production as well as tourism, the Napa Valley was responsible for bringing worldwide recognition to California winemaking. In the 1960s, a few key wine families settled the area and hedged their bets on the valley's world-class winemaking potential—and they were right.
The Napa wine industry really took off in the 1980s, when producers scooped up vineyard lands and planted vines throughout the county. A number of wineries emerged, and today Napa is home to hundreds of producers ranging from boutique to corporate. Cabernet Sauvignon is definitely the grape of choice here, with many winemakers also focusing on Bordeaux blends. Napa whites are usually Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.
Within the Napa Valley lie many smaller sub-AVAs that claim specific characteristics based on situation, slope and soil. Farthest south and coolest from the influence of the San Pablo Bay is Carneros, followed by Coombsville to its northeast and then Yountville, Oakville and Rutherford. Above those are the warm St. Helena and the valley's newest and hottest AVA, Calistoga. These areas follow the valley floor and are known generally for creating rich, dense, complex and smooth reds with good aging potential. The mountain sub appellations, nestled on the slopes overlooking the valley AVAs, include Stags Leap District, Atlas Peak, Chiles Valley (farther east), Howell Mountain, Mt. Veeder, Spring Mountain District and Diamond Mountain District. Wines from the mountain regions are often more structured and firm, benefiting from a lot of time in the bottle to evolve and soften.
One of the world's most classic and popular styles of red wine, Bordeaux-inspired blends have spread from their homeland in France to nearly every corner of the New World, especially in California, Washington and Australia. Typically based on either Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot and supported by Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot, these are sometimes referred to in the US as "Meritage" blends. In Bordeaux itself, Cabernet Sauvignon dominates in wines from the Left Bank of the Gironde River, while the Right Bank focuses on Merlot. Often, blends from outside the region are classified as being inspired by one or the other.
In the Glass
Cabernet-based, Left-Bank-styled wines are typically more tannic and structured, while Merlot-based wines modeled after the Right Bank are softer and suppler. Cabernet Franc can add herbal notes, while Malbec and Petit Verdot contribute color and structure. Wines from Bordeaux lean towards a highly structured and earthy style whereas New World areas (as in the ones named above) tend to produce bold and fruit-forward blends. Either way, Bordeaux red blends generally have aromas and flavors of black currant, cedar, plum, graphite, and violet, with more red fruit flavors when Merlot makes up a high proportion of the blend.
Perfect Pairings
Since Bordeaux red blends are often quite structured and tannic, they pair best with hearty, flavorful and fatty meat dishes. Any type of steak makes for a classic pairing. Equally welcome with these wines would be beef brisket, pot roast, braised lamb or smoked duck.
Sommelier Secret
While the region of Bordeaux is limited to a select few approved grape varieties in specified percentages, the New World is free to experiment. Bordeaux blends in California may include equal amounts of Cabernet Franc and Malbec, for example. Occassionally a winemaker might add a small percentage of a non-Bordeaux variety, such as Syrah or Petite Sirah for a desired result.

Yu Darvish was feeling much better a day after having to skip his scheduled start for the Texas Rangers because of neck stiffness.
Manager Ron Washington said Wednesday that Darvish, who played catch in the outfield before their game against Oakland, might even return to the mound before his next scheduled start for the AL West leaders.
Darvish's next turn in the rotation would be Sunday in the Rangers' regular-season home finale against the Los Angeles Angels.
Washington said Darvish is on schedule for that start. But when questioned, the manager acknowledged that if Darvish might pitch sooner if he's "100 percent before Sunday."
The Rangers scratched Darvish about 2½ hours before Tuesday night's game against second-place Oakland, which the A's won 3-2 in 10 innings.

Powered Parachute Sport Pilot, Private Pilot, Repairman Training, Equipment & More
Sport Pilot in 12 Days!
If you have purchased or are considering purchasing a powered parachute; training and licensing is something that should be on your mind. The only way you can legally fly a two seat powered parachute is with an FAA Pilot Certificate.
Until now, getting that certificate has been a hassle if you were just starting out in the sport. The small number of certified flight instructors and inefficient training practices have made it difficult for students to get their licenses. This changes with a program offered by Easy Flight. Now you are able to go from 0 flight time to a powered parachute endorsed sport pilot in only 12 days.Learn More About the 12-Day Course
2017 Training Schedule
2012 promises to be a great training year for powered parachutes and we hope that you can be a big part of it. Of course Sport Pilot remains the most economical and quick way to get an FAA license for a powered parachute. For those just starting out in aviation, you will be glad to know that there is a 12 Day class scheduled in July and another in September.
We also provide on an appointment basis:
- Discovery Training Flights
- Flight Reviews
- Check Rides
- Proficiency Checks
- Night Training
- Preparation for Private Pilot Ratings
For those wanting to get their maintenance inspection ratings for powered parachutes or trikes, 16 hour courses are offered in the fall.See the Schedule
First Gold Seal CFI
On February 25th, 2007, Roy Beisswenger became the first sport pilot flight instructor to earn a gold seal flight instructor certificate from the FAA. Gold seal flight instructor certificates acknowledge flight instructors who have maintained a high level of flight training activity and who meet special criteria.
Roy Beisswenger also attended the very first FAA Designated Pilot Examiner class in Sebring, Florida in January of 2005. He is now the most senior DPE for powered parachutes in the country as well as one of the very first licensed pilots and certified flight instructors for the sport of powered parachuting. Roy has been training people to fly powered parachutes since 1993 and holds all of the ratings possible to be held for powered parachutes.Learn More
About the Equipment
Buyer Alert!
If you are just getting into the sport, be aware that there are manufacturers that are producing aircraft that just aren't legal to fly in the United States. Only newly produced two seat powered parachutes from Powrachute, Six Chuter, Soaring Concepts, Infinity, Predator and Summit have so far met the ASTM standards and are authorized to produce Special Light Sport Aircraft (S-LSA) powered parachutes.
But remember, if the machine you want to purchase isn't already N-numbered and it:
- has two seats
- or has over 5 gallons of fuel capacity
- or has an empty weight of over 254 lbs.
then it is not legal to fly in the United States. In other words, if the machine isn't N-numbered, it had better fit the definition of an ultralight. There are some dealers, owners, and even manufacturers who will try to sell you something that isn't legal to fly.
In some cases the seller may not be aware of the new rules. In other cases, they may be aware of the rules, but don't think they apply to them. (Sorry, there really isn't such a thing as a 'two seat powered paraglider trike' in the USA. Those machines are also considered powered parachutes by the FAA.) Unfortunately, in many cases sellers just want to unload their equipment or make a buck off of someone who doesn't know any better. Don't be that person.
Performance Designs Wings
If you need a replacement canopy for your powered parachute, Easy Flight is the place to go! Easy Flight is a US distributor for Performance Designs Paragliders. Performance Designs builds the canopy that others try to copy but can't duplicate. Do not settle for a lesser canopy. If you already fly a powered parachute, you know how important your canopy is, don't skimp! If you want to trade in your old PD canopy for a new color or style, we can help you there, too..
Standard colors are always kept in stock, but you can design your own wing, too. And you can have it built for no extra charge. Of course there is a waiting time while the custom parachute is built.
Some people would like to own a 'logo chute' so that they can share their message with the world. Whether the design is a fun one like a 'Red Baron' motif, a religous message, a logo, or a web address, Performance Designs can build it into a parachute.
And 'build the design in' is what they do. Instead of painting a design onto the parachute, PD cuts the design out of parachute fabric and builds it into the parachute skin, itself. That way the design lasts as long as the parachute does, doesn't flake, and doesn't degrade the strength of the parachute.
Performance Designs offers two designs for powered parachutes. The Sunriser 500 and 550 are for two seat machines and the Barnstormer 360 and 400 are for single seat powered parachutes. TestLearn More
Roy's Powered Parachute Book
New for 2015 is Roy's Powered Parachute Book. Based on exerience gained from 20+ years of powered parachute instruction, this book is the ultimate textbook for powered parachute instruction.
Roy's Powered Parachute Book is organized to help you not only learn how to fly, but also to help you pass your FAA practical test for your sport pilot powered parachute license.

The Truth Behind Rising Gas Prices
The price of gasoline is rising quickly enough to give some drivers a renewed sense of sticker shock every time they fill up their tanks, and the "crack spread" is the culprit. Paul Vigna reports on The News Hub.

Good Return on Investment: LED Holiday Lights
If you're not yet familiar with LED lighting, it's time to illuminate yourself, lest you be considered an LUD (that's short for Luddite, a 19th-century English anti-industrialist, now synonymous with anyone who's way behind the times with technology). But don't worry; all you need to know about LEDs is that they're good lightbulbs. Better than incandescent, halogen and, yes, fluorescent.
LEDs happen to be ideal for decorative things like holiday lights, because they burn bright but cool, they last for a very long time and they cost very little to run. There's just one catch: LED lights are relatively expensive to buy. So the question we're addressing this holiday season is: Are they worth it?
What's So Great About LEDs?
Conventional holiday lights have become disposable goods. They're so cheap and so cheaply made that we expect to get about two seasons out of a string before cursing it and replacing it with another $3 set. And if you pay that little, you know you're getting the kind that are wired to go out entirely if just one tiny bulb has a problem. LED lighting should change all that. A good set of LED lights features "stay-on" wiring, plastic (not glass) bulbs, a three-year warrantee (see Don't Cheap Out, below) and an estimated 20,000 hours of bulb life. Compare that last number to Consumer Reports' finding incandescent holiday lights that started burning out before 2,000 hours. LEDs also use 70% to 90% less energy to run, and therein lies your best bet for a favorable ROI (that's short for return on investment, for any financial Luddites out there).
Figuring Your ROI
Chances are, you'll run your holiday lights for about a month, from sometime after Thanksgiving to sometime after New Year's. If your outdoor lights are on for an average of five hours per day, that's a total operating time of 155 hours per season. You can assume your cost of electricity is around 11 cents per kilowatt hour (a commonly used national average). Looking at two comparable strings of 100 miniature lights (produced by the same well-known company), the LED version uses about 8 watts per string; the incandescent version uses about 50 watts per string. Therefore, the LED string costs 13.6 cents for the season (8 x 155 = 1.24 kilowatt hours); the incandescent string costs 85 cents per season (50 x 155 = 7.75 kilowatt hours).
The LED lights would save you 71.4 cents per string, per season. If you have 10 strings, that's a total of $7.14 per year. Add to that savings the likelihood of LED lights lasting much longer than conventional lights and you'll see it's a good bet that LEDs will cost less in the long run. They're also guaranteed to be 70% to 90% better for the environment (not to mention that their longevity means less low-grade PVC plastic in the landfill).
Don't Cheap Out
If you decide to take the plunge this year and switch to LED holiday lights, it's a good idea to go with a reputable brand and, whenever possible, choose lights with the Energy Star label. According to the Energy Star website, decorative lights that earn the ENERGY STAR offer a three-year warrantee and are "independently tested to meet strict lifetime and electrical requirements." It's the lifetime testing you should be concerned with, because if CFL (compact fluorescent lamps) are any indication, poorly manufactured LED lights may survive only a fraction of their estimated lifespan.

If you attended games at the Aud, then you knew about Earl Howze Jr., but perhaps not by that name. Most are more familiar with his nickname, the "Earl of Bud". For those who are unfamiliar, a little recap should hopefully be fun – and a nice reminder for us older fans.
The "Earl of Bud" was known by that name because he sold beer in both the old War Memorial Auditorium and where the Bisons played (Both the old Rockpile and whatever the new place is being called these days – hell I can't keep up).
But he was much more than a simple beer-slinger. He had an outgoing personality and everyone wanted to buy beer from him. He would also ham it up for the crowd and sometimes the TV cameras during game breaks to "Tequila". He maintained a popularity that was as great as, if not better than, some of the players.
He was a local celebrity, posing for pictures, signing autographs, even appearing in some television commercials. I was only a kid when I saw him but I remember everyone being enraptured with whatever he was doing, even if it was simply climbing up the stairs carrying a bunch of beer.
Here's the Earl of Bud at the last game played at the Aud:
Earl did his shtick through the 80s and much of the 90s until mysteriously disappearing. The only article I could find on it was a repost of a Buffalo News (TBN) article on a blog (the real article is from 2007 and apparently is not in TBN's database). From the article:
"He went in and quit the ballpark and the arena all in one day," said Tom Girot, the conspicuous beer vendor known as Conehead. "It was just amazing. One day the Earl of Bud is there, and the next day he's gone. It was like he fell off the face of the earth."
Apparently Earl also worked as a firefighter and he injured his knee at some point. The story holds that he got a pension from the firefighter job but they were pissed about his very public job where he was apparently able to lug beer up and down the aisles and dance in front of people.
It seems to fit. Here's a guy who loves the limelight, loves entertaining people and being The Man. But he isn't able to do it anymore, partly because of a bum knee and partly because if he does it he can't make the money he depends on to survive. So he shuffles off into the sunset and heads elsewhere where they don't know him. Here in Buffalo, everyone would be asking him why he's not at the games.
The TBN article states that he danced for the last time in August of 1997. Seven months later he filed for bankruptcy and apparently shortly thereafter moved to Chattanooga, Tennessee where his children and grandchildren live.
"I take it easy and visit my kids and grandkids a lot, just fishing and traveling," Howze said by phone from Chattanooga. "I'm loving the mountains. Everything is different than Buffalo. Everything here is new to me. It's like starting a different life over again."
Just like a bad informercial it's time to throw in a "BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!" (Side note: "bad infomercial is kind of redundant, isn't it? Are there good infomercials?) In May of 2007, during game 5 of the playoff series between the Sabres and the NY Rangers, the Earl of Bud returned majestically from out of nowhere and did his thing, dancing before fans and prompting them to yell "TEQUILA!" It wasn't enough to help the Sabres get the win, but perhaps it helped the Sabres win the series in the long run.
The Earl of Bud also popped up on Twitter last year – apparently. He was only online for a short time in the spring of 2011, if it was indeed him and not a fake account.
Hopefully everything is going good for the Earl. He showed us that anyone can be a star and that you can find unique ways to do common, blue-collar jobs. Just by doing a simple dance and chatting with people he made a more lasting impression on fans than some players do.

31 Days of Windows 8 for HTML5 | Day #29: PLM

Learn how to add document editing and viewing to your web app on .Net (C#), Node.JS, Java, PHP, Ruby, etc.
This article is Day #29 in a series called 31 Days of Windows 8. Each of the articles in this series will be published for both HTML5/JS and XAML/C#. You can find additional resources, downloads, and source code on our website.
After 29 days, we're finally going to talk about the Application Lifecycle or Process Lifecycle management ( aka PLM ). Now before you close the browser thinking I will just skip this one, please don't. We're going to talk about how your application will run, when it runs, and what events are there for us to plug into. Ultimately we're looking at the management of the different states our application can be in on a user's device. Here's an illustration (image from MSDN):
As web developers this process lifecycle thing might feel a bit foreign to us. Of course our web applications and\or sites have a lifecycle but our word is a pretty stateless world. Now having said that, we've always had to deal with bouncing between servers, network volatility and overall session management. The same principals are somewhat true in our native app. Windows makes the call as to when we should live, and we should be ready for that.
The reason that this is important to us as developers of Windows 8 applications is because we want to provide a seamless user experience in our apps. When a user presses the Windows key on their machine, and leaves your app, you want to make sure you save or preserve their data in some way, so that when they come back, it's all still there.
I Thought Windows Handled This Automatically??
Yes and no. By default, if you run a Windows 8 application, leave it, and come back, it will automatically be exactly where you left it. However, if you leave it, and then open 6 or 7 more applications, it's likely that the operating system is going to suspend your application, or even terminate it. Thankfully, there's a couple of great mechanisms we can use to manage this.
Recognizing Your App Has Been Suspended
According to Microsoft, "an app can be suspended when the user switches away from it, *or* when Windows enters a low power state. Most app stop running when the user switches away from them." There's a few things you need to know about how your app will end up in a suspended state:
- Your app "might" be suspended. For the simple app I've built for this article, I've never seen it enter a suspended state on its own.
- Generally, when the system runs out of resources, this is the time your app will enter a suspended state.
- When you leave an app to use another, Windows will wait a few seconds before suspending it, just in case you were planning to return to it quickly.
So, if you're anything like me, you're probably wondering how we are going to write and test some code that only occurs when Windows feels like making it happen. Thankfully, there's some tools for that.
Now to talk about this whole lifecycle thing, I'm purposefully going through things somewhat backwards, this will make more sense when we turn to talking about what happens when our application launches. Most likely you'd started your application development from one of the Visual Studio templates. Assuming so, then will see a bunch of boilerplate code in your default.js file. This boilerplate code is basically some of the simple hooks for PLM as well as getting your app started up.
Before our application transitions into another state and event called oncheckpoint will get called. This *an* opportunity ( not the only one, you can always save too ) for you to do something like possibly save the users session state or something like their navigation history.
app.oncheckpoint = function (args) { args.setPromise(finishOff()); }; function finishOff() { return new WinJS.Promise(function (complete, cancel, progress) { WinJS.log && WinJS.log("app.oncheckpoint called.", "31 days", "status"); complete(); }); }
Looking at the code above, you can see I we have created a function that will in turn get executed when the checkpoint event is fired. In our code we are creating a promise that will in turn tell Windows there is some async activity occurring and things shouldn't end until complete has been called. Having said that, Windows isn't going to wait around forever either. Windows will wait a few seconds ( 5 seconds I believe ) before it says, "sorry dude, I am outty you're just taking to long".
In WinJS there is an object called sessionState. This sessionState object is a great place for you to keep some of your users session data like navigation history ( as the Navigation template in fact already does ). The beauty of this sessionState object is Windows will in fact manage the persistence and recreation of that object and its associated data. While less work for us, we will still have to take the data from that object and re-create our own objects if necessary.
Checkpoint is called when you application is going to be suspended. If you app is suspended there are no more notifications that you'll receive, so this is the place to take care of business while you still have a chance.
Recognizing That Your App Is Resuming
In this case, we're going to simply add an event handler that will execute when the resuming event is fired.
var webUI = Windows.UI.WebUI.WebUIApplication; webUI.addEventListener("resuming", onResume, false); function onResume() { WinJS.log && WinJS.log("app resuming", "31 days", "status"); }
On Launch
This is where things can get a bit more complicated. In the code below, I have listed out all of the different execution states and I am logging that to the console window. Just like we did with the blank app on day one, this gives us some history as to when these things will get fired and whatnot. This is our place where we can do things like reconstitute objects depending on the state the applications was in before ( if we care of course ).
var app = WinJS.Application; app.onactivated = function (args) { WinJS.log && WinJS.log("app.onactivated", "31 days", "status"); if (args.detail.kind === activation.ActivationKind.launch) { WinJS.log && WinJS.log("Activation Kind === Launch.", "31 days", "status"); switch (args.detail.previousExecutionState) { case activation.ApplicationExecutionState.terminated: WinJS.log && WinJS.log("previousExecutionState terminated", "31 days", "status"); break; case activation.ApplicationExecutionState.running: WinJS.log && WinJS.log("previousExecutionState running", "31 days", "status"); break; case activation.ApplicationExecutionState.suspended: WinJS.log && WinJS.log("previousExecutionState suspended", "31 days", "status"); break; case activation.ApplicationExecutionState.closedByUser: WinJS.log && WinJS.log("previousExecutionState closedByUser", "31 days", "status"); break; case activation.ApplicationExecutionState.notRunning: WinJS.log && WinJS.log("previousExecutionState notRunning", "31 days", "status"); break; } args.setPromise(WinJS.UI.processAll()); } };
To look at a concrete example of this. We can look no further than the Navigation App template found inside of Visual Studio. Here we will see no only are we saving our navigation history on checkpoint to the sessionState object but when our application launches we are making sure we 1. reconstitute it as well as navigate them back to the place they had left off.
app.addEventListener("activated", function (args) { if (args.detail.kind === activation.ActivationKind.launch) { if (args.detail.previousExecutionState !== activation.ApplicationExecutionState.terminated) { } else { } if (app.sessionState.history) { nav.history = app.sessionState.history; } args.setPromise(WinJS.UI.processAll().then(function () { if (nav.location) { nav.history.current.initialPlaceholder = true; return nav.navigate(nav.location, nav.state); } else { return nav.navigate(Application.navigator.home); } })); } }); app.oncheckpoint = function (args) { app.sessionState.history = nav.history; };
Now how in the world do I test this PLM stuff?
Because this is a tough scenario to make happen automatically, there are tools inside Visual Studio that allow us to simulate these states in our application. First, make sure that you've opened the Debug Location toolbar in Visual Studio.
Once you've added that toolbar, it's as simple as choosing one of these three options:
- Suspendwill immediately put your application in a suspended state. This will also fire your suspended event handler before it stops running.
- Resumewill obviously resume your app from a suspended state. If your app is not suspended, nothing will happen.
- Suspend and shutdown will simulate what happens when Windows terminates your application. The suspended state will happen first, followed by a complete shutdown of your app.
In short, we want to provide a seamless experience for our users, so keep the lessons in this article in mind. Don't overdo it, though. Saving unsaved data for a user is a convenience, so unless you think it will be important, don't exhaust yourself trying to anticipate everything the user might need. Also be mindful of performance, I don't think we want to persist to disk ever single time a character changes in a textbox.
In games, if the user leaves, and they have to replay a level, so be it. You don't have to remember that they were jumping over that block to make it a great experience. Remember which level they were on is probably enough.

Want To Start Climbing (In PTA)
Hey Guy's! Went to Elandskraans for the easter weekend (just to get out of the city for a couple of day's) & i've come back with this itch to start climbing! Just standing there looking at the people climbing was driving me nuts! So where is a good \"gym\" with people willing to help a total noob in PTA? I'm not intrested in Tuks's Wall At LC de Villiers since i've been there 6times & still haven't been able to get to the wall, because of all the people! I know there is also a gym in i think it's the sancardia centre, but they have limited membership due to space restriction & when i was there last year they where full! I heard at Elandskrans that there is a place out on Linwood Road (Past Hans Strydom) called \"The Barn\" if i remember correctly but for the life of me i can't find this place! Yesterday i drove up every road i could find in that area looking for it to no availe! Please any help will be greatly apreciated!!!
Hi, Me and my dad would like to do a climbing trip together (spend good time together). We've never done this, but would love to! Pls help us.... Where can we go? Is there any groups that can take us on an adventure like this? Or if we must do it ourselves do you recommend a place that is easy to start? Or can we ask a guide to company us? Pls advise. Many Thanks Jacqueline
Hi Jac...if you are in teh Pretoria Joburg area as well contact the guys at Urban Crag (Vic and Gav) all their information is on http://www.urbancrag.co.za. Happy climbing j
If you are living in Pta the Barn is the best bet-nice atmosphere to start. Follow Lynnwood Rd past Silver Lakes. Take the Boschkop turn off.Continue until you go past a dirt road on your left you will see another one(I think) further on your left(Skyriders sign).Follow this all the way until you see another Skyriders sign.Turn in there and you will see the building. Most climbers are very helpful.
Thanx danny for the site url, i'll go & have a look! J thanx for the directions, they'll definitly be seing me soon! Jacqueline! If you don't mind traveling to Mapumalaga then check out http://www.rocrope.com there situated at watervalboven (one ofthe best rock climbing spots in ZA)
Hi Jaqueline. If u wanna climb on rock for the first time and u in Gauteng area, head out to waterval Boven. Get hold of Rock 'n Rope, run by Gustav van Rensburg. They do climbing courses etc. Boven is amazing, you'll have a great time. Check out http://www.rocrope.com for info
The story about first expirience in climbing is here http://www.infohub.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1545 Just take a look! Trere are a lot of stories!Have Funn!
the barn
Badboytazz4ever-the barn is an awesome place to go they are open 7 days a week and Paul(one of the owners) is one of the most interesting people I have ever met! The barn- if you are driving down lynnwood and your go over hans strydom go down 5.6km and turn left on boschkop (on the right you will see a place that sells tiles and pots etc)carry on down that road 2.1 odd km and there is a tiny board that says G.E du plessis on your left-go down that dirt road follow the road and keep to the left-it turns to the left after about another 2km there is a small white non descript building next to the road just after that you will see a HUGE metal/barnlike structure on your right-and bingo your there!feel free to mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com if you need any more instructions. they open at 4pm daily till 9pm and is open most of the day on weekendsdo yourself the favor and go and find it!
The barn
Howzit. If you need a climbing partner or just someone to show you how to get to the barn please feel free to give me a ring @ 082 335 0066. Alternatively you can contact Paul @ 082 335 3220 for directions. The place is a little hard to find the first time but definitely worth the effort.
Re: The barn
To get to some real rock and get the inside info on the various crags in the area remember that MCSA Magaliesberg (Pretoria) Section has regular climbing meets (but the holiday break has started). Contact Danie van Zyl the committee member for climbing for more info (see http://mag.mcsa.org.za/contact.html). The Joburg section is also an option since both sections visit the same crags. Both sections publish their programmes on their web sites and non-members are welcome to attend.

Know-nothing conservative wunderkind Bobby Jindal, tapped to respond to President Obama's NSOTU, used his national TV platform last month to sneer at "wasteful spending," including "$140
million for something called 'volcano monitoring.'" (scare quotes in original)
In a bit of karmic wonderfulness, Alaska's Mount Redoubt erupted last week, allowing the USGS to educate Governor Jindal: this is volcano monitoring.
Bonus geek points for the USGS: Redoubt eruption updates and ashfall forecasts have their own Twitter feed. "Another explosive eruption of Redoubt volcano occurred at approximately 01:20 AKDT (0920 UTC). NWS reports a cloud top of 50,000 ft above..."
Volcanoes are cool. Volcanoes that debunk right-wing canards are cooler.

What your charity needs to know about the Federal 2012 Budget
People across Canada are talking about the Federal 2012 Budget introduced on March 29, 2012. If you're a board member of a registered charity, there are important changes you need to know. How about snuggling up on the couch tonight and immersing yourself in the 498 page document? No? Ok then, we'll tell you some of the things you need to know.
New for charities in the Federal 2012 Budget:
– rules and sanctions regarding political activities by registered charities;
– rules about gifts to foreign charitable organizations;
– GST rebate for literary organizations in the acquisition of books for free distribution;
– promoter penalties related to charitable donation tax shelters.
For further details on all of these items, check out the Budget Brief.
And in an interesting twist, Budget 2012 included an announcement about phasing out of the penny. Following the example of other countries, donations of "old coins" are being suggested. Although the details of this are not yet clear, it is something that your charity should keep an eye out for. For more information about this, check out this backgrounder.
Stay tuned to our newsletter and our blog posts for more information on the impact of the Federal 2012 Budget

King '99 Stresses Leisure's Connection to Liberal Artsby Howard Hewitt • January 28, 2010 Share:
Assistant Director of Admissions Kim King '99 delivered Thursday's Chapel Talk making connections between leisure and the liberal arts.
King was a Wabash athlete and scholar who went on to earn a master's of divinity degree at Emory University. He thanked a number of people in the Wabash community who supported him taking to the Chapel podium for the weekly talk, and quoted the late Bill Placher throughout his speech.
"If our goal is to impact lives and be impacted, we must learn the value of leisure," he told the students, faculty and staff. "Leisure is not just defined as being relieved of duties and it's not the inevitable result of spare time or a weekend. Leisure properly defined has more depth than time off task."
He cited experiences such as Chapel Talks as a leisure activity that "confronts us to be Wabash men and not just ordinary students."
He talked about the experience and joy of immersion learning and watching students come back to campus not just refreshed but re-energized.
"Leisure has very little to do with inactivity," he said. "It has to do with who we become. It has to do with being involved with others. We celebrate leisure at Wabash in our traditions."

More than 200 competitors braved nearly freezing temperatures this weekend to compete in one of the largest European races, Nautic SUP Crossing, held in conjunction with the international boat show, Salon Nautique de Paris. Paddlers vying for the overall win competed in two events on Saturday: a distance race on the River Seine and indoor sprint races at the boat show.
The distance race took competitors on a scenic tour of Paris as they paddled 12km down the Seine, passing the Eiffel Tower and other famous Parisian sites. Following the distance race, paddlers competing for the overall victory went on to the boat show where they raced before a crowd of spectators in exciting two-man heats.
After combining points from the distance and sprint races, Eric Terrien and windsurfing Olympian Faustine Merret, both of France, came out on top as overall winners. Check out the results and photo gallery below.

|Nokomis, FL
|High School:
|Pine View School
Major: Management
Why did you choose to come to the Coast Guard Academy? I chose to come to CGA because of the opportunities it gave me: a great education and a guaranteed job upon graduation. I also saw myself working really well with the team and Coach Brian Swingly. It was a decision based heavily around sailing, but now that I am here I enjoy parts of the Academy I did not expect.
How long have you been sailing? How did you start sailing? I have been sailing since I was 10 years old, when my now brother-in-law taught me in learn-to-sail. I absolutely loved it, even though I was terrified on day one.
What is your favorite thing about the sailing team at Coast Guard? My favorite thing about the team is the people. I love how our team interacts and is always working together. Every aspect of sailing at CG is oriented towards the team as a whole. We all work hard together to reach goals, and no one is left behind.
What other activities/positions/clubs are you involved with on campus? I spend my free time in the gym or hanging out with friends. I like to compete in triathlons, so I train on my own for those. I look forward to doing some triathlons during summer leave. In the evenings I usually spend time with friends and help my teammates and friends with school work.
What is the sailing achievement that you are most proud of? I am most proud of qualifying and placing 6th at ICSA Women's Singlehanded Nationals this fall as a freshman.
What are your future sailing plans and career goals after graduation? After graduation, I am definitely going to continue to sail. I want to get back into the radial laser circuit, and do as many ISAF events as possible. I also have always wanted to sail Trans-Pac, and would love to get a team together for that race.
Tell us something that your teammates would be surprised to know about you. I can't think of anything surprising they wouldn't already know about me. I can tell them pretty much anything; it's pretty awesome.

Brown Blasts Partisan Attack on California's Global Warming Laws
SACRAMENTO—In response to Republican demands that major provisions of California's environmental law be gutted as the price for approving this year's state budget, California Attorney General Edmund G. Brown Jr. issued the following statement:
"It is an outrage that a small group of Republican Senators would gut California's Environmental Quality Act as the price of their voting—a month late—on this year's budget. Their proposal would profoundly undercut the positive efforts of cities and counties to reduce greenhouse gases and fight global warming.
It is the constitutional responsibility of the Attorney General to enforce all the laws of California, including our ground breaking environmental laws. California has a proud history as being the unquestioned leader in the fight to control global warming. We should not let a few Republican state Senators—all of whom opposed the Global Warming Solutions Act--turn back the clock with this misguided and retrograde maneuver. It represents global warming denial at its worst."
