Josh MacDonald (left) placed 15th to highlight Liberty's efforts at the 2013 NCAA Division I Southeast Regional Championships.
Liberty redshirt junior Josh MacDonald finished 15th in the men's 10K at Friday afternoon's NCAA Division I Southeast Regional Championships at Panorama Farms, earning all-region honors and helping Liberty place 10th as a team. On the women's side, the Lady Flames came in 23rd overall, paced by junior Jacy Christiansen's 57th-place finish. The Liberty men's squad totaled 273 points for its eighth top-10 finish in the last nine years at this meet. The Flames were one place and nine points behind Big South rival High Point, which placed an impressive ninth in the 35-team field with 264 points. No. 17 Eastern Kentucky won the men's team title with 58 points, while host Virginia took the second and final automatic qualifying spot to the NCAA national meet with 96 points. That put the Cavaliers just five points ahead of NC State's total of 101. In the women's 6K, Liberty finished one position behind Coastal Carolina for the second straight meet. The Big South champion Chanticleers totaled 624 points for 22nd place out of 38 teams, while the Lady Flames' score of 677 earned 23rd place. The women's automatic team qualifiers to the national meet in Terre Haute, Ind., were No. 11 Virginia, which won top honors with 57 points, and No. 19 William & Mary, the runner-up with 69 tallies.
Men's 10K Race Recap MacDonald covered the rolling 10K terrain in 29:33.6 for 15th place, becoming the 10th different Liberty men's runner ever to garner an all-region medal at this meet. The California native, who moved up from 28th to 15th after the 5K mark, was the Big South Conference's top finisher on the day. MacDonald edged out High Point's Jeff LaCoste (16th place) and Patrick Crawford (20th place) for that honor. With MacDonald's all-region performance, he is eligible to qualify to the 2013 NCAA Division I Cross Country Championships individually. However, he is unlikely to be included in the field, which will be officially announced on Saturday. Jeremie Bourget wrapped up his impressive sophomore campaign with another strong race on Friday. He was the 31st and final runner in the 239-member men's field to crack the 30:00 barrier, posting a time of 29:59.7. Fellow sophomore Sam Hibbs ran well in his first collegiate 10K competition, serving as Liberty's No. 3 runner for the second straight meet. He came in 71st with a time of 30:55.5. After starting out conservatively, Caleb Edmonds and Ngetich Kipchirchir were two of the biggest movers during the second half of Friday's race. Edmonds passed 38 runners after the 5K mark, finishing 78th in 31:00.4. Meanwhile, Kipchirchir's 82nd-place finish was 36 spots better than his ranking at the halfway split. The redshirt sophomore's time was 31:04.7. Redshirt junior Jarred Cornfield was 135th in his regional meet debut, crossing the finish line in 32:03.0. Senior Zach Barker wrapped up his collegiate cross country career with a 151st-place finish and a 10K time of 32:22.2. Up front, UNCG senior Paul Chelimo edged ACC champion Andrew Colley of NC State for the men's individual title, 28:37.3 to 28:38.7.
Women's 6K Race Recap Christiansen crossed the finish line 57th out of 265 women's runners on a sunny afternoon, marking a large improvement over her 118th-place showing in 2012. Her 6K time of 21:52.5 set a new personal best as she was the second Big South finisher on the day. Freshman Jessie Proehl again served as the Lady Flames' No. 2 runner on Friday, placing 101st in 22:32.9. She came in just 11 seconds behind Big South champion Letitia Saayman of Coastal Carolina. Team captain Katie Russo wrapped up her senior season with a 162nd-place finish, covering the 6K distance in 23:15.5. She passed 24 runners during the second half of her final collegiate cross country race. Redshirt freshman Chelsea Page (182nd place, 23:30.1) and redshirt senior Lyndi Fielitz (186th place, personal-best 23:34.7) finished in rapid succession to close out Liberty's five scorers. Liberty continued to alternate freshmen and seniors with its final two women's finishers, as freshman Kat Bouton was 212th in 24:02.5 and senior Jessica Gass came in 229th in 24:34.7. William & Mary's Emily Stites took the women's regional title in 19:57.5, followed by Kentucky's Cally Macumber in 20:07.9.

The worthy buzz up to and including Google's I/O conference was all about a tablet competitor to iPad -- priced in the friendly $200 area.
Google also kicked up its software offerings for mobile -- specifically, maps and search.
Users can now navigate their world via Google Maps in offline mode -- a stunningly useful function for Android owners (sorry, iPhone...). Basically, the familiar blue dot that is "you" will work when your device is not connected to a data provider.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
The offline awesome extends to enabling GPS, My Location and the compass. Never be lost again! The walk-through lives here.
Google also added 3D for Google Earth on the mobile platform. Gorgeous 3D imagery of entire urban areas is at our fingertips. The tour guide also suggests landmarks and natural wonders to explore.
And now there's Google Now -- a product that reinforces that Google really is -- and probably will remain -- king of search.
Now knows you. Like, all about you. Things like your commute, restaurants around you that you probably will like, It pulls together three threads of your user info: search history, navigation and calendar. (If Docs were included, I wonder what that'd help suggest?)
Now can calculate what your commute will be like in real-time traffic conditions and suggest alternate routes. This is awesome. (Full disclosure: I abjectly hate my commute.) On another level, it'll nav you through airports, do currency conversions and -- with offline maps -- get you safely to your hotel, regardless of data reception.
Oh, and it's learning. It gets better the more you use it.
Combine all this with the Google Glass announcement and we're just that much closer to Google-branded chips embedded in our heads.

I did log on to the account before and said to remember me, but I deleted my cookies and therefore Yahoo cannot remember me.

Goode times: Ewert joins 5th District race
It was the birth of Bern Ewert's two granddaughters in January that inspired him to challenge Congressman Virgil Goode for his firmly held 5th District seat. "I just finally said I have a responsibility to at least say something," says Ewert. "They're driving our country into the ground."
Announcing his candidacy December 3, Democrat Ewert denounced the current Republican administration and its Congressional majority. "I am sick and tired of being sick and tired of the mismanagement of the American government by ideologues and incompetents," he said.
Ewert, a former Charlottesville deputy city manager whose resume says he proposed the pedestrian Downtown Mall during the early 1970s, was most recently in the news for proposing the Ruckersville Parkway. He ran for City Council in 2002, but failed to secure the Democratic nomination.
And before he can take on Goode, Ewert must first win his party's nomination from vintner and decorated veteran Al Weed, who ran against Goode in 2004 and lost with 36 percent of the vote. The Dems most likely will choose their nominee at a convention in May.
That could put both candidates at a disadvantage in raising money. "It's going to be a bit awkward," says Weed. "Raising money for a challenger is always difficult, and now [supporters] won't know who that is until May."
Ewert's plan is to start early and stay organized. He's already snagged the endorsement of Delegate Mitch Van Yahres, who calls him "a fresh face," according to Bob Gibson in the Progress.
"The difference between me and [Weed] is I have a proven track record improving the lives of people... and working regionally," says Ewert, who served as Roanoke city manager from 1978 to 1985 and as Prince William county executive from 1997 to 2000.
Ewert lived in Roanoke for 16 years. "I rebuilt that city," he says. "People there know who I am." And although Roanoke is not part of the 5th District, people from neighboring Bedford and Franklin counties commute there to work.
"Bern's claim he has name recognition in Roanoke is from 20 years ago," counters Weed. "Mine is from a year ago."
And, says Weed, a Nelson County resident, "I'm not from Charlottesville. That's a big issue in the district. Are you an urban person or not?"
Weed challenges the "myth of the incumbency"– that the incumbent always wins. If the Dems float a new candidate every two years, as they have been doing, "The myth gets stronger, and you don't get any traction," he says. "I have supporters. I know the district. I know the people."
Goode was first elected as a conservative Democrat in 1996 to the 5th District seat, which stretches from Greene to Southside Virginia. Two years later, he won as an Independent, and he has continued to win as a Republican in a heavily Republican district.
But a new day may be dawning. "[Democrat] Tim Kaine won the 5th District," Ewert points out.
And Democrats see the two challengers to Goode as a sign of his vulnerability, particularly following his involvement with MZM, the company that has been linked to the Rep. Duke Cunningham bribery scandal. MZM's political action committee and its employees contributed almost $90,000 to Goode.
"Anyone in Congress can receive a donation from a company that goes bad," says Ewert. "What surprises me is [Goode] says he's not giving the money back. I'm astonished and disturbed by his ethics."
That ties into another Ewert campaign theme: regaining moral leadership. "There's a serious problem with credibility in the U.S. Congress," he says, citing the PAC of now-indicted former majority leader Tom DeLay, which also gave money to Goode.
"I think in general the Republicans are going to be more vulnerable because the Bush administration is handing the Democrats so many issues to run on," says former city councilor Meredith Richards, who waged an unsuccessful run against Goode in 2002. In particular, she predicts Dems in 2006 will campaign on the "culture of corruption that's the legacy of this Republican administration and Congress."
Says Richards, "Corruption is never a word people used with Virgil. Inept, ineffectual– but never corruption."
Goode did not return phone calls from The Hook by press time.
Despite Goode's perceived vulnerabilities, "It's still going to be a very tough race," says Virginia Tech political analyst Bob Denton. "The polls show an irony: people distrust Congress, but they like their congressman. Virgil remains well-liked in the district. Whether he can still pull in 60 percent of the vote as he has in the past remains to be seen."
"I'm always happy to see a challenge," says Waldo Jaquith, who ran against Ewert for City Council in 2002 and who supported Weed's 2004 bid against Goode. "I think Al will be a stronger candidate, and Bern will be a stronger candidate for the competition. I think it makes the 5th District Democratic Party stronger."
From exec to elect: Bern Ewert tosses his hat into the 5th District race.

Build mobile web applications with Sencha Touch
In the software development world, two important trends are increasingly important: mobile application development and standards-based HTML5 web development. The learning curve for either type of development can be steep. Developing a native mobile application often requires knowledge of specific platforms and skills, such as Objective-C for iPhone and Java™ for Android (and these are only two platforms). HTML5 development has gained traction lately because it is standards-based. While vendors are working rapidly to incorporate and comply with these early specifications, HTML5 is still rather immature.
The recent release of Sencha Touch 1.0 fuses the cutting-edge worlds of mobile application development with HTML5 web development to form a simple, accessible framework for building mobile web applications. In this article, learn everything you'll need to know to start working with the Sencha Touch framework.
Sencha Touch
Learning to build mobile applications—especially from the perspective of a web developer—can be troublesome. A variety of platforms to choose from and technologies to learn are available. HTML5 support, though gaining momentum quickly, is still not quite ready to be used for complex web applications, particularly line-of-business applications.
Sencha Touch combines the rich platforms of HTML5 and mobile web application development into a happy medium. The framework is developer-friendly and similar to using the Ext JS JavaScript framework. If you have moderate to advanced JavaScript experience, then Sencha Touch is approachable. If you already have skills as a JavaScript and CSS developer, Sencha Touch can immediately turn you into a mobile application developer, too.
Sencha is a company with a core commercial product offering, but it also supports open source software. Sencha Touch 1.0 is free for both personal and commercial use.
Platform support
Sencha Touch is currently supported on WebKit browsers, including the popular Apple iOS and Google Android platforms. Some might contend that this support isn't enough—that all platforms must be supported for Sencha Touch to be taken seriously. When adopting a framework in the mobile web development realm, it's wise to look for two things: platform richness and feature richness. A framework that abstracts the most from HTML5/CSS3 in a form that's developer-friendly, and with a wide reach, is desirable. In this aspect, Sencha is astute in supporting the two most popular platforms and using their resources to provide rich, easy-to-use features for developers.
What you need to know
To start using Sencha Touch, all you need is working knowledge of the JavaScript language and CSS. As mentioned, the framework abstracts many of the features and styles you'd normally be assembling from scratch.
If you want to explore further, and perhaps build your own custom components or modify styles for your own brand, you need more in-depth skills in HTML5 and CSS3. For more information, see the Related topics section.
Getting started
To get started with Sencha Touch:
- Download the framework from Sencha. (See Related topics.)
- Extract the contents to the root of your development website.
Consider renaming the extracted folder to a generic name, such as sencha-touch, so that you can use this same folder name for future framework versions without updating other files that reference it.
- Using a WebKit browser, such as Google Chrome, open the examples page at http://localhost/sencha-touch/examples/. Though your environment might look slightly different, you should see a screen similar to Figure 1.
Figure 1. Sencha Touch Examples
Explore some of the framework features by building a Sencha Touch application.
- Create a new HTML file named index.html in the root of your site with
the source code from Listing 1.
Listing 1. Sample HTML5 document
<!DOCTYPE HTML> <html> <head> <title>Touch Test</title> </head> <body> </body> </html>
Once you create that single file, you are officially an HTML5 developer. The
<!DOCTYPE HTML>doctype at the top is the key; it ensures the document is interpreted as HTML5.
- Modify the code from Listing 1 as shown in Listing
Listing 2. Installing Sencha Touch scripts and styles
<!DOCTYPE HTML> <html> <head> <title>Touch Test</title> <!-- sencha touch css --> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="sencha-touch/resources/css/sencha-touch-debug.css" /> <!-- sencha touch javascript --> <script type="text/javascript" src="sencha-touch/sencha-touch-debug.js"></script> </head> <body> </body> </html>
The above code adds the CSS and JavaScript files for the Sencha Touch framework. You hooked in the debug versions of these files, which is recommended for development purposes since they yield better error messages. To deploy, simply swap out the debug versions for the minified versions. You can also add your own custom CSS file and a JavaScript file for building your application.
- To keep the example simple, include some embedded JavaScript code.
Start by modifying your code to resemble Listing
Listing 3. The simplest Sencha Touch application
<!DOCTYPE HTML> <html> <head> <title>Touch Test</title> <!-- sencha touch css --> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="sencha-touch/resources/css/sencha-touch-debug.css" /> <!-- sencha touch javascript --> <script type="text/javascript" src="sencha-touch/sencha-touch-debug.js"></script> <!-- application script --> <script type="text/javascript"> Ext.setup( { onReady: function() { // create the root panel new Ext.Panel({ fullscreen: true, html: "Sencha Touch is ready!" }); } }); </script> </head> <body> </body> </html>
- Run the page in Google Chrome, and you should see something similar to
Figure 2.
Figure 2. The simplest Sencha Touch application
The code in Listing 3 introduces a block of
JavaScript code you'll reuse throughout this article to explore framework
features. If you've used Ext JS, this code might look familiar. The
Ext.setup function is the starting point for your
Sencha Touch applications. It accepts an object with a number of
configuration options. The example uses the
onReady option, which takes a function to evaluate when the
document is ready. The
onReady function creates
the root panel of the application. The root panel takes up all available
space and contains a simple string by using the
fullscreen and
html options,
Running applications in an Android emulator
- Download the most recent Android SDK for your
operating system platform and extract it to disk.
The SDK includes all the utilities required for getting an emulator up and running, but a few more steps are necessary.
- Android emulators require that you create an Android Virtual Device
(AVD), which is basically configuration options that model an actual
Android-powered device. To create an AVD, run the
androidutility in the tools folder of the Android SDK.
The Android SDK and AVD Manager should open and look similar to Figure 3.
Figure 3. Android SDK and AVD Manager
At this point, if you try to create a new virtual device using the New… button, notice an important field labeled Target, which is disabled. Before you can create a new virtual device, download an add-on to the SDK.
- Select Available Packages from the left menu.
- Expand the site labeled https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/repository.xml to reveal the list of available packages to install.
- Select the most recent SDK platform, as shown in Figure 4, and then click Install Selected.
Figure 4. Available packages for Android SDK
- Accept the installation by clicking the Install button in the next window.
- When the download and installation finish, click Close.
You just installed a potential target for any AVDs you want to create. This target is an Android device running version 2.2. The next step is to create the AVD.
- Select Virtual Devices from the left menu in the AVD Manager, and click New….
- Enter
sencha-avdfor the Name and select the Android 2.2 target you just installed as the Target. Leave all other defaults.
- Click Create AVD.
Click OK at the confirmation window, then close the AVD Manager.
Everything you need to run an emulator is now in your local development environment. To run the emulator: open a terminal window, change directories to the root of your Android SDK installation, and enter the command in Listing 4.
Listing 4. Invoking the Android emulator
tools/emulator -avd sencha-avd
You can use the web browser in the Android emulator to browse to your test
application at http://localhost/, but you'll get a big
404. This is because referencing
localhost, or
127.0.0.1, in the
emulator is actually within the context of the emulator itself. To
reference your local development environment, use the address
10.0.2.2, which yields the screen shown in Figure 5.
Figure 5. Example running in the Android emulator
A tour of Sencha Touch UI components
Now that you have the basics, this section provides a tour through some of the Sencha Touch UI components.
You can create a number of button styles by using just a few configuration options. The code in Listing 5 creates a vertically stacked collection of all available buttons. The example application is expanded to include an array of items to be added to the root panel—in this case, a single panel with a vertically stacked collection of buttons.
The buttons are styled based on the
configuration option. Supported button types are
action, and
Listing 5. Buttons
<script type="text/javascript"> Ext.setup( { onReady: function() { // create the root panel new Ext.Panel({ fullscreen: true, items: [ // add a panel to the root panel // this will contain a vertical layout of buttons { xtype: "panel", layout: "vbox", items: [ { xtype: "button", ui: "normal", text: "Normal" }, { xtype: "button", ui: "back", text: "Back" }, { xtype: "button", ui: "round", text: "Round" }, { xtype: "button", ui: "action", text: "Action" }, { xtype: "button", ui: "forward", text: "Forward" } ] } ] }); } }); </script>
Figure 6 shows the result.
Figure 6. Available button styles in Sencha Touch
The forms suite contains all the usual suspects and more. It is apparent that HTML5-specific functions are being handled and incorporated. Support is available for field types (such as e-mail, web addresses, and date pickers) and attributes (such as placeholder text) in HTML5; Sencha Touch just makes it easier to use. Listing 6 shows some of the features.
Listing 6. Sampling of form controls
<script type="text/javascript"> Ext.setup( { onReady: function() { // create the root panel new Ext.Panel({ fullscreen: true, items: [ // add a panel to the root panel { xtype: "form", items: [ { xtype: "textfield", name: "name", label: "Name", placeHolder: "your name here" }, { xtype: "emailfield", name: "email", label: "Email", placeHolder: "firstname.lastname@example.com" }, { xtype: "urlfield", name: "url", label: "Url", placeHolder: "http://www.example.com" }, { xtype: "datepickerfield", name: "date", label: "Date", picker: { yearFrom: 2010 } } ] } ] }); } }); </script>
Running the code in Listing 6 should yield a screen similar to Figure 7. The Date field is focused, revealing the date picker control docked at the bottom.
Figure 7. Sampling of available form fields
When developing mobile web applications, you're working with limited real estate. Support for list-based UI components becomes important. Sencha Touch is equipped with support for various types of lists, including simple, grouped, and nested. Figure 8, which is taken from the Kitchen Sink demo in the framework download, demonstrates a grouped list. The vertical stack of letters at the right of the list exposes a useful method for jumping to specific portions of the list.
Figure 8. A grouped list from the Kitchen Sink demo
Icons and toolbars
Sencha Touch ships with an impressive repository of icons built in and ready to use. All you need to do is specify a string representing a CSS class for the icon you want. Listing 7 shows how to build two toolbars: one docked to the top of the root panel, and one docked to the bottom. Each toolbar is configured with a small sample of the icons available out of the box.
Many more icons are available. Check out the API docs and examples for more information.
Listing 7. Icons in toolbars
<script type="text/javascript"> Ext.setup( { onReady: function() { // create the root panel new Ext.Panel({ fullscreen: true, dockedItems: [ { xtype: "toolbar", dock: "top", items: [ { iconMask: true, ui: "plain", iconCls: "add" }, { iconMask: true, ui: "plain", iconCls: "delete" }, { iconMask: true, ui: "plain", iconCls: "star" }, { iconMask: true, ui: "plain", iconCls: "home" } ] }, { xtype: "toolbar", dock: "bottom", items: [ { iconMask: true, iconCls: "download" }, { iconMask: true, iconCls: "favorites" }, { iconMask: true, iconCls: "search" }, { iconMask: true, iconCls: "user" } ] } ] }); } }); </script>
After running the code from Listing 7, you should see a screen similar to Figure 9.

Carousels and tabs
Carousels and tabs are easy to implement using coding patterns you've already explored. Listing 8 shows a tabbed interface and a carousel.
Listing 8. Constructing carousels and tabs
<script type="text/javascript"> Ext.setup( { onReady: function() { // create the root panel new Ext.TabPanel({ fullscreen: true, items: [ { title: "Tab 1", html: "First tab" }, { title: "Tab 2", html: "Second tab" }, { title: "Tab 3", html: "Third tab" } ] }); } }); </script> <script type="text/javascript"> Ext.setup( { onReady: function() { // create the root panel new Ext.Carousel({ fullscreen: true, items: [ { html: "First item" }, { html: "Second item" }, { html: "Third item" } ] }); } }); </script>
Carousels and tabs are similar in code and function. The carousel moves between cards by either performing a sliding gesture from side to side, or by clicking one of the circular icons docked at the bottom. By default, both controls transition between cards using a slide animation.
Figure 10 shows the tab interface.

Figure 11 shows the carousel interface.

You can use several overlay controls. Your options include standard alert, confirm, and prompt controls, as well as plain modal controls.
In mobile web development, one of the more popular components is maps.
Sencha Touch makes it very simple to include a map in your application
using the
Ext.Map component. Listing 9 shows how to include a map in the
sample application. Remember to include the JavaScript file for the Google
Maps API for this example to work.
Listing 9. Using maps
<!DOCTYPE HTML> <html> <head> <title>Touch Test</title> <!-- sencha touch css --> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="sencha-touch/resources/css/sencha-touch-debug.css" /> <!-- Google Maps API --> <script type="text/javascript" src="//maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=true"></script> <!-- sencha touch javascript --> <script type="text/javascript" src="sencha-touch/sencha-touch-debug.js"></script> <!-- application script --> <script type="text/javascript"> Ext.setup( { onReady: function() { // create the root panel new Ext.Panel({ fullscreen: true, items: [ { xtype: "map" } ] }); } }); </script> </head> <body> </body> </html>
The resulting map window is shown in Figure 12.

Events and data access
Sencha Touch has support for several key events you might expect in a mobile application, such as touch start/end, scroll start/end, tap, double tap, swipe, and pinch. Data access will look familiar if you've done Ext JS work in the past.
The Sencha Touch framework supports JSON with padding (JSONP), Yahoo! query language (YQL), and Ajax requests. Combined with the Sencha Touch data package, they provide a flexible mechanism for binding data to your UI components.
Style and design
Creating your own theme can be a rather difficult undertaking. The Sencha Touch framework has key features that make it much easier to modify the default styles and design.
The framework uses Syntactically Awesome Stylesheets (Sass), which is an extension of CSS3 that, among other things, lets you use variables and selector inheritance to add more power to theme development. Changing a single variable can impact the entire theme—and it's that easy.
Creating a new theme is outside the scope of this article. Related topics has several links to help you get started.
This article provided an introduction to Sencha Touch, which is a mobile web application framework built using HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. You learned how to create a simple Sencha Touch application, and how to test it with a device emulator. You also explored some of the UI components.
This article is merely an introduction to the Sencha Touch framework. Now that you know the basics, consider diving deeper into the concepts using the Related topics below.

Aspiring video-game creators to gather as Sarasota joins Global Game Jam design marathon
Bring on the 3-D computer animation modelers from Ringling College of Art & Design, the pizza-flavored Combos pretzels and the Monster energy drinks.
For the first time, Sarasota will participate directly this weekend in a 48-hour, video-game-developing marathon called Global Game Jam.
The hackathon-for-gamers event is slated to start Friday night at the HuB, a collaborative workspace on Fruitville Road in downtown Sarasota, and run straight through until 7 p.m. Sunday.
The HuB will be one of 450 places around the world where game developers gather — physically and virtually — to throw together actual working video games faster than a Hummer gets lifted in Grand Theft Auto. The HuB will be the only host on the west coast of Florida, organizers say.
More than two dozen potential video game developers have already signed up to be part of the local event.
When all is said and done, and the Red Bull has likely run out, some 3,000 games are expected to be produced worldwide from more than 60 countries.
Ringling College video producer Joe Granato IV persuaded Rich Swier Jr., the proprietor of the HuB, to let the games unfold in the HuB's third floor common area.
Granato, 33, is a self-taught specialist in Unity 3-D, a cross-platform game engine used to bring together game components. This will be his fifth Game Jam.
When the gamers gather on Friday, they will split into four or five teams, with the goal of developing a game idea — and specifics — that could be a prototype for a new commercial video game.
Because many participants hail from Ringling College, Swier and Granato expect the weekend's results to be very art intensive.
Clayton Bronson Chod, president of the college's game design club, is among those who have signed up. At the school's computer animation department, Chod, a game design major, specializes in 3-D modeling and texturing.
Among his designs is an "Exhibition Arena," a 3-D boxing ring for robots in which characters can move around. The arena is part of his senior thesis, entitled "Rivet Busters."
"I figured this was a good opportunity to get my feet wet in the whole game jam scene," said Chod, a senior at Ringling who plans to interview for jobs at various video game studios.
Such hackathons are held — and participants like Chod willingly give up a weekend's sleep — because there's potentially big money in gaming.
Last fall, for instance, Rockstar Games' highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto V generated more than $1 billion in revenue within the first three days of its release.
"We have about twenty people going down with Joe to the HuB," said Martin Murphy, a Ringling instructor who teaches students majoring in game art and design.
This is the fifth year for the Global Game Jam, a project of the International Game Developers' Association from 2009 through 2012. The first jam, held Jan. 30 to Feb. 1, 2009, drew 1,600 participants in 23 countries.
Beginning in 2013, the weekend was taken over by Global Game Jam Inc.
Participants agree to share how they designed their games in a open software forum, but they, as teams, retain the intellectual rights to the games they create, according to the group's website, GlobalGameJam.org.
Participants start by watching a short video with advice from leading game developers on Friday night. After that, a secret theme is announced and participants break up into teams.
Participants are challenged to make games based on that theme before the event wraps Sunday afternoon.
"You're not going to get an Xbox 360 out of it, but you could get Angry Birds," Granato said. "You could get a lot of the games you eventually see on a mobile device."

Relatively speaking, the weekend arrest of Alabama true freshman Tony Brown was one of those run-of-the-mill incidents involving college students and campus law enforcement that follows the standard formula: party + 18-22 year olds + alcohol + police = brouhaha and/or imbroglio. This incident in Tuscaloosa, however, is in the early stages of taking on a life of its own.
Multiple eyewitnesses, al.com's Michael Casagrande is reporting, have painted the responding Tuscaloosa Police Department officers as the aggressors during a Sunday morning incident that ended with Brown's arrest. Those same witnesses claimed that the news release sent out by the TPD was rife with what the website described as "inaccuracies or fabrications."
In that release, the TPD stated that "police responded to reports of a loud party involving underage drinking at an area apartment complex just after midnight Sunday morning." As one partygoer who was placed under arrest was being put into a police cruiser, the crowd in general and "Brown specifically continued to be a problem." The 18-year-old Brown was ultimately hit with pepper spray, arrested and charged with failure to obey and resisting arrest.
That was the TPD's version of events. Suffice to say, the eyewitness accounts vary greatly. From Casagrande's post, with an eyewitness accusing one of the police officers of pulling a gun as Brown was in the fetal position, exacerbating the situation:
Jaison Davis, 23 from Atlanta, said Brown was never threatening to the two police officers, who responded to a noise complaint at Campus Way, an off-campus student apartment complex. The party was attended by mostly Alabama track and field team members, Davis and other witnesses said. …
They say Brown and a few other guests turned to leave immediately after officers pulled out the pepper spray. Brown walked approximately 30-40 yards to his car with an officer following behind, they said. The officer walked beside Brown and pepper sprayed Brown in the face as the athlete was complying with the command to leave, said Davis who only briefly met Brown before Saturday night. …
Brown immediately fell to the ground in a fetal position, Davis said, as the officer pulled his gun. The crowd, which had been relatively calm to that point, was more tense after the pepper spray was used and when the gun came out, Davis said.
Sharper said everyone moved away fast when they saw the gun.
Davis went on to claim that there are at least five cell-phone videos of the incident. Another eyewitness, 20-year-old Chris Thomas, told al.com that "the police officer appeared to become more aggressive when witnesses pulled out camera phones to capture video of the encounter."
Along with other media outlets, al.com has requested a copy of the police report filed by the officers. Thus far, the TPD has declined the requests.
Head coach Nick Saban addressed the incident for the first time publicly Tuesday.
"Look, some people are in the wrong place at the wrong time," Saban said. "Some people don't make good decisions about what they do, what they say. Tony Brown's a fine young man, we're glad to have him in the program. We'll certainly try to use this as a learning experience for him. "

CUTLER, Ind. (AP) - Authorities say more than 1,000 hogs were killed by a fire that swept through barns on a central Indiana farm.
The fire broke out Wednesday at the farm near the Carroll County community of Cutler, damaging three of the farm's four hog barns.
Flora Fire Chief Mike Cottrell tells the Journal & Courier (http://on.jconline.com/1fKH9Bz) that investigators determined that the blaze started near coal boilers used to heat the barns. He says the age of the barns or overheating could be factors for the fire about 15 miles east of Lafayette.
Cottrell says many young pigs were among about 500 that died in a nursery barn, while several hundred more died in the other two barns. The barn that didn't burn was empty. No other injuries were reported.

10x10x1 Pleated MERV 10 AC Furnace Filters Qty 12
- Nominal Size: 10x10x1
- Actual Size: 9 1/2x9 1/2x 3/4
- Also removes pet dander and baking flour, along with the contaminants removed by a standard MERV 8 filter
- Ideal for customers with pets that shed
- Hypoallergenic, antimicrobial, and electrostatic filter material
- Nordic Pure recommends changing 1" filters every 30-90 days
- Made in the USA
Nordic Pure 10x10x1 MERV 10 rated pleated AC air filters are made of electrostatically charged synthetic materials that attract and capture most airborne particulates in your home or office. Each time air passes through a Nordic Pure pleated furnace filter, lint, household dust, pollen, dust mites, pet dander, baking flour, mold spores and other contaminants are removed. Our treated synthetic filter media prevents the growth of bacteria or mold, resulting in a much healthier living space. MERV 10 air filters are comparable to air filters with the MPR rating of 800-1000, FPR rating between Green and Red, and APR rating between Gold and Platinum. Particles in indoor air are measured in microns; for scale, a human hair is about 70 microns wide. Each Nordic Pure 1" MERV 10 air filter will capture more than 85% of 3.0-10.0 micron contaminants and up to 65% of 1.0-3.0 micron contaminants. This high performance HVAC replacement filter will outperform non-electrostatic fiberglass filters, washable filters, poly disposable filters, and will help keep your air conditioning and heating systems running efficiently, saving you money on utilities and costly maintenance. The effective life of your air filter depends on both the inside and outside conditions in which you live and work. We recommend that you change your air filter every 30-90 days to maintain maximum efficiency and indoor air quality.

Greetings Roleplayers!
Additions to the continuing epic should be posted here. Questions and comments regarding the CCRP should be posted in this thread.
Let the adventure continue!
Formendacil wrote: "Good, that's all that's really needed. Shall we start tomorrow?"
"The sooner the better," replied Sir Dractor.
"Aye," said Brakespear softly, worrying Thomas, "sooner is better, certainly."
Lord_Of_The_LEGO wrote:"Well, then…" Broadside coughed again, "Until then, Lady Rosa…er…enjoy yer stay…"
Both Rosa and Viktor glared, and Broadside quickly left his cabin in search of some wine in the hold. The shore of Knight's Kingdom couldn't come soon enough, with those two at each other's throats.
Lord_Of_The_LEGO wrote:Ajaxx Dragonsbane, Japheth, and Captain Dolter all watched as the three triremes sailed by in the distance. It took them all day and through the night, but by the next morning they were gone.
Ajaxx breathed a sigh.
"That be good. Captain Dolter, set a course for Ninjaria."
"Aye, sir."
Formendacil wrote:Viktor turned to Rosa.
"So, now what?"
Dragoman wrote:They soon reached a point where they could no longer see before them though this did not slow them down. Shadow Knights are quite use to the darkness and have no problem moving through it, and so they were very much in their element. But after a mile or so of this they soon began to see faint signs of a red light coming from the void and soon it became clear that they're getting close to what they feared to enter.
Jaythus would have spoken, but he was stopped as they finally reached the massive wooden gates of Barleyburg!
Formendacil wrote:"Be silent and still! All of you!" Then he turned to the bartender, and asked who had started it. The bartender pointed staight at Jayko and Arthur.
"This is not good!" Arthur told Jayko, who couldn't have agreed more.

The old Impala kind of sucked. The new Impala kind of doesn't suck. But here's the definitive take from John Davis and co. at MotorWeek.
The old Impala was ugly, the new one is ready to, and I quote, "slip through the air like a dream."
I have to admit, I quite like the Impala. It's a great cruiser and basically all the car you'll ever need to take a long trip in comfort.

Hospitality law has evolved as a specialty within the legal profession in the last several decades. It is also offered as a course on the undergraduate and graduate levels as well as in some law schools. A typical hospitality law course covers the history of hospitality law, the impact of federal and state civil rights laws on the hospitality industry, and an extensive discussion of contract law, including discussions of remedies for overbooking and a guest's breach of the contract regarding a reservation.
Courses today also include discussions of contracts that are entered into on the Internet, which is very common in hotel bookings, as well as negligence, innkeeper rights, guest rights, and employment practices. Every state and the District of Columbia have enacted statutes to limit innkeepers' liability. These statutes require that notice be posted for room occupants. Universally, these notices are posted on the backs of hotel room doors so there can be no question that the hotel guest can see and read the statute and liability provisions, if they wish to do so. Nevada has the most pro-innkeeper statutes of any state.

The changing nature of the travel industry, including an increase in bookings through the Internet, has caused hospitality law to continue to evolve and include issues such as rented time-shares and hotels that include condominium-like rooms. Contracts and Reservations Historically, most hotel arrangements were booked through travel agents. Although Internet bookings today are still primarily through travel agents, many are made directly with the hotel properties through websites that offer general travel arrangements or, in some instances, specifically hotel arrangements.
Most consumers merely acknowledge acceptance of the extensive exculpatory language present in website booking programs without giving any thought to what would occur should problems arise. Many lawyers have had clients come to them with Internet hotel booking issues; generally, these consumers have already waived their rights through exculpatory language called "consumer disclosure notices" in the industry. However, most state consumer protection statutes require full disclosure of taxes and fees when booking through any channel of distribution.
Several years ago in Florida, hotels were imposing an energy tax, which was only disclosed by a small sign in the hotel room, adding in some instances $15 per day to the room charge. This was not disclosed on any website or other advertisements. In addition to the lawsuits that were filed, the Florida Attorney General alleged consumer protection violations and ultimately forced the offending hotels to return the illegally collected funds. Had these hotels contacted their in-house or outside counsel prior to implementing the surcharge, they would have been able to avoid any issues by properly implementing and disclosing the surcharge.
The written confirmation of a guest's reservation, received either by e-mail or snail mail, generally will include the dates of the stay, the rates, and perhaps a category for the accommodations, such as "garden view," "ocean view," or "junior suite. " If the guest arrives at the appointed time and there is no room available, industry practice is to "walk" the guest to a similar property; the original hotel picks up any additional expense incurred by the guest as a result of the failure to honor the reservation contract.
Issues that arise in such circumstances may include a guest being moved from the four-star hotel in which the reservation was made and a deposit paid to a one-star or two-star hotel because that is the only property with rooms available. If the areas in which the properties are located are significantly different, security issues also arise, particularly if there is less security at the lower-rated property or if the area is not deemed as safe.
Because of the economic climate, many properties have altered their meeting contracts to require non-refundable deposits after a certain date, with or without attrition clauses. Although a hotel generally will take a deposit at the time the contract is signed, the standard agreement will have payments made at certain times leading up to the meeting date. Generally, there will be a master billing for group activities, and each individual will be responsible for his or her own hotel room and miscellaneous charges.
An attrition clause in a hospitality contract allows some "shrinkage" in group size without penalty within a certain time frame, but if totally unchecked, cancellations can be disastrous for a property. I know of an instance where a group canceled its contract for 1,500 "room nights" (i. e. , one room for one night). The group also contracted for audio-visual services, golf and tennis tournaments, sightseeing, and several meals, all of which were canceled when the group could not attract enough of its members to attend the meeting owing to the soft economy. In circumstances like this, there are no winners.
The hotel's lawyers will file suit against a group, but unless the group had travel insurance (they usually do not), there will be little or no funds to pay for the damages incurred by the hotel. The larger and more established the group, the more negotiating power it will have with the property regarding liability and attrition provisions. However, major groups book four, five, or even ten years into the future, and no one can predict the future economy. Further, there is generally no mention in the hotel contract regarding the ability of the group to get to a certain geographic region.
If the airlines reduce or eliminate service to that region, it may be impossible for the group to get its members there—but that would not be the responsibility of the hotel unless there is language in the agreement setting forth some minimum standards with regard to air service to that location. In my experience, it is extremely rare to find that type of language, but it is not uncommon to find anticipated attendance diminished because nonstop air service has been reduced or eliminated to certain locations. Risk Management
Risk management has become a preeminent concern for any hotel, large or small, because of the unique issues that arise in the field of hospitality law. Typical problems involving risk management are slip-and-fall cases or crimes against guests, including assault and rape, break-ins and theft from the rooms, discriminatory issues involving both employees and guests, and issues of payment and bailments (a transfer of possession of goods or personal property from a person in possession of the property to another with the understanding that the property will be returned).
Hotels and management companies of all sizes have ongoing and continuous training for their employees with regard to risk-management issues and have established written guidelines and procedures addressing almost any circumstance involving risk management. The major hotel chains and management companies have law firms, generally multi-state or international firms, on retainer to provide risk-management assistance and guidance, as needed, on an ongoing and case-by-case basis.
In warm-weather destinations, particularly beach properties, numerous risk-management issues arise with regard to the use of the beach by guests, including whether lifeguards will be on duty, whether they are employees of the hotel, a private service, or the city or county. The issue of water sports, such as parasailing, jet skiing, and related activities, also raises liability issues. Many hotels allow a third-party vendor to offer these services in an independent contractor relationship, but they are not offered directly by the hotel in order to minimize liability issues.
In almost every instance, there will be signs indicating that the hotel itself is not offering these types of water sports, but that they are being offered by an independent contractor, and guests engage in these activities at their own risk. Despite such disclaimers, it is not uncommon to have a hotel or management company involved in litigation regarding injuries or deaths suffered while the guest was involved in those activities. Some hotels offer lifeguards at their swimming pools.
Others use private lifeguard services, and many hotels advise guests to swim at their own risk because there is no lifeguard on duty. Cases of this nature involving injury or death are addressed on an individual basis, including an assessment of what steps, if any, the hotel has taken with regard to risk management, which is normally determined during the discovery phase of the lawsuit. The issue of liability caused by fire has also led to advancements in risk management.
Perhaps one of the worst fires at a resort destination occurred in 1980 at the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas. Dozens of people died, and hundreds were injured. As part of a risk-management program, hotels ensure they have complied with all state and local statutes and building codes with regard to fire protection; often they exceed those standards. Every state requires an emergency evacuation route outlined to the hotel guests.
This normally is provided on the back of each hotel room door. Many companies nationwide provide the hotel industry with risk-management services such as on-going inspections to make sure a hotel is state-of-the-art in its fire protection. Tragically, there have been several recent deaths caused by carbon monoxide poisoning in hotels where the boilers were not properly maintained or serviced. For the hotel owner, there is virtually no defense when a death arises from these circumstances.
The key issue will be the amount of damages the jury will award to the survivors and/or heirs. There has been a concerted effort in recent years to make sure that facilities are maintained and carbon monoxide detectors available to prevent tragedies such as the one at a Maryland beach resort in 2006, which resulted in the death of a ten-year-old girl and her father. In the Internet era, the press rapidly becomes involved in these circumstances.
It is essential that the hotel manager gather the senior staff along with legal counsel to determine what occurred, how to address the issues, and how to care for the guests who might have been displaced (or, in less extreme circumstances, inconvenienced). I am familiar with one example in Florida where the senior staff consisted of the director of operations, the public relations advisor, the customer relations supervisor, the general manager, the director of maintenance, and a director of housekeeping, as well as outside counsel, which formed a team to address a carbon monoxide issue.
In these circumstances, it is also essential that only one person, preferably the public relations expert, is designated the spokesperson for the hotel to communicate with the press. Other hotel-related liability issues involve unlit or inadequate lighting in emergency stairways, elevators that are unsafe or not maintained, both indoor and outdoor lights that are out, and rodent problems. Again, the hotel must take security measures to address these types of risks, which clearly are foreseeable in most circumstances.
There are also numerous companies that specialize in security for hotel and related properties, with services ranging from a part-time private security guard to a full-time staff of security employees; the latter is more common than the former, but the level of service depends on the size of the property. Conclusion Hospitality law will continue to grow as a niche specialty in the future. Law firms need to be able to advise their clients on these types of matters.

Man rammed patrol car during chase: Alamance County deputies
A man was arrested on suspicion of ramming a patrol car Monday night following a chase and collision in Alamance County.
Thomas Elwood Williams, 42, of Graham, was arrested after an incident that ended around 8 p.m. on Brevard Road.
Alamance County deputies had responded to Williams' home at 4162 Mulberry Ln. on a domestic violence complaint. When deputies arrived, a vehicle driven by Williams fled the scene recklessly, according to a news release from the Alamance County Sheriff's Office.
Deputies turned on their lights and sirens to try to initiate a traffic stop, but Williams kept driving, leading to a chase.
When the chase got onto Bevard Road, Williams' vehicle and a patrol vehicle collided, deputies said. Williams' vehicle left the road.
Deputy C.F. Stevens tried to keep Williams from getting back on the road, but Williams rammed the patrol car and "made continued attempts" to push it out of the way, deputies said.
Williams refused to leave his car despite law enforcement officials surrounding the vehicle, deputies said. Deputies broke a window to gain access and pulled Williams from the vehicle. He was placed into handcuffs after a struggle, deputies said.
Williams was treated at Alamance Regional Medical Center for minor scrapes, deputies said. Stevens didn't need treatment.
Williams' charges include DWI, felony assault with a deadly weapon on a government official, fleeing to elude arrest, reckless driving and assault on a female. He was held in jail without bond pending a court appearance on the domestic violence charge.

Bizarre stadiums
Groundhoppers collect stadiums like Panini stickers. The arenas in Munich, Milan, Madrid? Been there, done that! But how about the stadiums in Singapore, Prague and Guangzhou?
A roadway separates the pitch at Singapore's Floating Stadium from the grandstand. And no, it wasn't a mistake; the idea was to make it a venue for Formula 1 racing, too. Another fascinating fact: Only the grandstand is on dry land, the soccer field is mounted on a pontoon, floating in Marina Bay.
With space for 250 000 fans, Strahov Stadium was once the largest arena in the world. These days, Sparta Prague's B team plays there – to a few hundred spectators.
When goals elude other teams, the coach is fired. The Chinese city of Guangzhou's top-league club took the advice of a feng shui expert and painted the stadium seats gold – and before long had a series of home victories.

News Archives - 2010
Have you seen the sign?
Recently one of Augsburg's most visible symbols got a major facelift. The Augsburg "A" and "Augsburg" signs atop Mortensen Hall were replaced in January with updated LED logos that serve as a beacon to commuters who pass the campus daily on Interstate 94 and to residents of the Twin Cities.
Julie Edstrom, Augsburg's vice president of enrollment management, says that even though Augsburg is located along a major freeway in the state's largest city, the College hasn't been very visible to the tens of thousands of people driving by every day. "I'm always surprised when people who live right here in the Twin Cities ask me where Augsburg is located," Edstrom says. She adds that the cost of advertising on metro area billboards, buses, and skyways is a significant investment. For Augsburg, Edstrom believes taking advantage of Augsburg's location and proximity to downtown Minneapolis with prominent, attractive signage that can be seen from all directions, day or night, will pay big dividends for visibility and name recognition for the College.
"It's like having our own billboard year 'round."
President Pribbenow agrees. "It is a major marketing investment that we believe offers us the greatest return for visibility, pride of place, and quite honestly as a marker for folks to find our campus," he says.
In the coming week, Auggie Eagle will sponsor a "Where Was This Photo Taken?" contest on Inside Augsburg. Using a photo and its accompanying clues, Auggies will determine the precise location where pictures of our new Augsburg signs were taken. The Auggie who gets the most correct answers will win a $50 gift certificate to the Augsburg bookstore. NOTE: if there is a tie for most correct answers, a drawing will be held to determine the winner.
See the old sign come down and the new one go up.
Become a fan of the sign on Facebook.
Augsburg Sign by the Numbers:
5' - height of the "A" in Augsburg
30' - width of the word "Augsburg" facing the freeway and the quad
10' x 36' - dimensions of the long sign panels with the word "Augsburg"
10' x 26' - dimensions of the shorter sign panels featuring the "Augsburg College" logo
295 - number of stairs from the ground floor to the roof of Mortensen. But most people just take the elevator.

Post-Yahoo, Dapper Creators Now Want to Make Home Buying Easier
Jonathan Aizen and Paul Knegten created Dapper, an ambitious startup that set out to restructure atomic units of Internet content. After years of trying to explain what they were doing and why it was useful, Dapper turned itself into a dynamic advertising company, started bringing in significant revenue and was acquired by Yahoo for $80 million in 2010.
For Amitree, their next startup, Aizen and Knegten want to do something much more specific, where people can clearly see its value from the start. So they've built a tool to help people manage real estate transactions, especially during the 30-day closing period after an offer is accepted.
"Dapper was everything to everybody and nothing to anyone," said Aizen — who was previously a teenage intern at Alexa, and later created the Internet Archive's first website — in an interview this week.
Amitree's first service, Closing Time — which is opening to the public today — is a to-do-list tool for buyers and agents to coordinate paperwork and inspections. It is a vertical, narrow and specific idea aimed at helping people get through what's often a stressful and unfamiliar time of their lives.
While I can see the appeal of Closing Time's clean and simple approach — it has a timeline, checklists, daily emails and sharing tools — it does seem to be a sort of glorified Google Docs.
Aizen, however, said the secret sauce is customizing the experience for a specific user, and doing so in plain English. So, after a user signs up and fills out a very basic questionnaire, Closing Time automatically creates a granular personalized set of tasks.
Aizen compares this to TurboTax — except where tax software can replace an accountant, Closing Time is meant to be used with an agent. (And later, if and when Closing Time starts charging, it will be the agents who pay.)
The self-funded Closing Time is now available in much of the U.S., but not in the 11 states who use an "attorney review" process, which includes New York.
Aizen said he anticipates making similar services for other complex life processes, like pregnancy and applying to college.

Neither summer school enrollment nor application is required for children 18 and under to stop in for a free summer meal at any one of the 1,000 sites all over the city – ongoing through Aug. 29, 2014 – as the program provides both breakfast and lunch.
Gooden said after growing up in inner city Tampa in the late 1970's, a time period he said he still remembers well, he has found it necessary to reach out to kids in the same predicament for inspiration.
"It's always good for me to give back," Gooden said. "I was put in a good position to play Major League Baseball and live out my dream, and after doing that, you never forget where you come from."
Gooden met with hundreds of children at the school and joined representatives of the American Dairy Association for a raffle and Yankee-ticket giveaway.
"When I got called about taking part in an event like this, which is great to promote healthy eating and awareness for the kids, I was more than happy," he said. "This is all about the kids."
The federally funded program also preaches healthy living at the schools, parks and libraries all over the city from Monday through Friday.
"The department provides the meals, so they meet those nutrition guidelines throughout the year," said NYC Summer Meals coordinator Brenda Beltram.
She added that while the program is currently "a little underutilized," they have teamed up with the New York Yankees this summer for dozens of outreach stops with baseball legends like Joe Girardi, Mickey Rivers and Cecil Fielder to help spread the word.
"We want the players to come out to sites and reward the kids for eating healthy," she said. "We're giving away some merchandise and some game tickets to get them a little excited."
Deborah Otto, principal of P.S. 223, said her school has opened their doors to the NYC Summer Meals program for nearly 30 years, inviting nearly 400 children from home and their daycare providers every day in the midst of their own afterschool programming.
"You definitely need this," Otto said. "Parents are on limited income, so this helps supplement what they might be able to put towards another bill."
As for having a baseball legend like Doc Gooden in her school, Otto said there is no better way to raise the excitement level at her school.
"I know for a fact that one of my fifth graders will go home, and go on her brother's iPhone and resource everything on him," she said. "So it's very healthy."
