Natasha Adair (pronounced AY-dare) was named and introduced as the seventh all-time women's basketball head coach at the College of Charleston on Tuesday.
Adair, 39, follows in the footsteps of former coaching greats at the College in current Tennessee Director of Women's Athletics Joan Cronan (1974-76), the program's all-time winningest coach Nancy Wilson (two tenures from 1976-84 and 2003-12), Cougar Hall of Famer Scooter Barnette (1984-94), Kathy McCaskill-Rhein (1994-98) and Melissa Slone (1998-2003).
"I first want to thank President George Benson and our Athletics Director Joe Hull for this amazing opportunity to head their women's basketball program here at the College of Charleston," Adair said. "The College of Charleston is rich in history. I feel like the support for one another is unwavering and the vision for success is crystal clear. This is a dream come true and I am eager to hit the ground running as I prepare for success at the College."
Adair spent the last eight years as an assistant to women's basketball head coach Mike Petersen at Wake Forest University. She was promoted to associate head coach in 2007 and helped guide the Demon Deacons to four postseason tournament appearances including the program's second 20-win campaign (20-14) and a run to the NIT Second Round this past season.
Adair is known as one of the best in the business, not only when it comes to recruiting, but she has shown the ability to develop and mentor some of the top post players in the country.
As the recruiting coordinator for the Deacons, Adair successfully recruited a number of top-rated players in the country and was part of the winningest women's basketball staff in Wake Forest history coaching the winningest senior class (72 career wins) from 2009-12.
Prior to Wake Forest, she served as an assistant coach for six years at Georgetown University. Similar to her position with the Deacons, Adair was primarily responsible for the Georgetown post players. She was instrumental in the development of Georgetown All-American, WNBA All-Star and two-time WNBA champion Rebekkah Brunson, who was selected with the 10th overall pick in the 2004 WNBA Draft by the Sacramento Monarchs.
In her 14 years combined in the ACC and BIG EAST, she has developed and mentored 12 players who went on to play at the professional level.
A native of Washington, D.C., Adair played two seasons at Pensacola Junior College, before transferring to the University of South Florida under head coach Trudi Lacey, who is now the general manager and head coach of the WNBA's Washington Mystics. She still holds the school single-season rebounding record and graduated with a degree in communications in 1994.
A former high school All-American and a top recruit in the country with interest from UConn, Syracuse, Georgetown and USF in 1989-90, Adair (nee Barnes) was inducted into the Albert Einstein High School Hall of Fame in November of 2011. She and her husband, Aaron, are the proud parents of two children, son, Aaron Michael (14), and daughter Allyssa Michelle (6).
1998-2004 (Six Seasons) – Assistant Coach, Georgetown – 92-85 (.520) – Four WNIT Appearances
2004-2007 (Three Seasons) – Assistant Coach, Wake Forest
2007-2012 (Five Seasons) – Associate Head Coach, Wake Forest – 125-123 (.504) – Four WNIT Appearances
"I've known Natasha for a very long time. Natasha will be a great head coach at the College of Charleston. She has always built great relationships with her players and she is very knowledgeable of the game. She is a tireless worker who is always looking to improve. She was recruited by several schools in high school including UConn, but Natasha chose to come to South Florida to make her mark and that is a great attribute of hers. Not only was she able to help us turn around our program at USF as a player, she was able to do the same at Wake Forest as a coach. I anticipate great things happening for the College of Charleston." – WNBA Washington Mystics General Manager and Head Coach Trudi Lacey who coached Adair at USF
"Natasha is an outstanding coach and an even better person. She did a phenomenal job for us here at Wake Forest University and I have no question that she will do great things at the College of Charleston." – Wake Forest Women's Basketball Head Coach Mike Petersen
"The College of Charleston has made a great choice with the hire of Natasha Adair. CofC has a lot going for it – a great facility and campus in one of the country's best cities and an administration that has made a commitment to success. Natasha is the right person to capitalize on all the advantages Charleston holds and take the Cougars to the top of the Southern Conference." – Connecticut Women's Basketball Head Coach Geno Auriemma who recruited Adair in high school as one of the top prospects in the country in 1990
"I am excited about the news and the fact that Coach Barnes, as I know her, is getting this wonderful opportunity to head her own program. She was one of the most influential coaches I've had and was a key reason for my success on the collegiate level and a huge contributor to my growth and success as a professional athlete and woman. The College of Charleston is lucky to have her." – Former Georgetown All-American, WNBA All-Star and two-time WNBA champion Rebekkah Brunson
"Natasha has always been a very driven, passionate individual and I know her leadership and drive from her playing days will translate to success as a head coach. She has a tireless work ethic and will do great things within her new program. She is a tremendous hire for the College of Charleston." – Illinois State Women's Basketball Head Coach Stephanie Glance who coached Adair at USF as an assistant coach under Trudi Lacey
"Natasha Adair has positioned herself for an opportunity to be a head coach. She has proven she can recruit, prepare a team and game adjust. Those experiences, along with her work ethic and enthusiasm, will bring positive energy to The College. We've also added a great family to our community." – ESPN Women's College Basketball Analyst and Mt. Pleasant resident Debbie Antonelli
"Natasha and I worked together for two years at Wake Forest. In that short amount of time, I gained a colleague, a mentor, and a friend. She does everything with honor, dignity and class and truly puts her stamp on all of the things she does. Her report with the players is admirable. She was not only their coach, she was a mentor and mother figure. The post players at Wake Forest transitioned into dominant players and focal points of our team due to her tutelage. Looking at her track record of players she has coached and how she has helped them develop, not only into fine players, but extraordinary women, you can see that Coach Adair is one-of-a-kind. College of Charleston has hired a jewel in this business. They have hired a woman that is dedicated to winning championships and making a difference in her players' lives." – Duke Women's Basketball Assistant Coach Candice Jackson
"Coach A is a true role model and leader to young women. Basketball is certainly an important dimension, but developing their leadership skills and preparing them for the future are of the utmost importance to her. This defines how she carries herself and how she runs her program. Wake Forest has experienced incredible team success during her tenure, especially at the four and five positions. Much of this success is attributed to her superior X's and O's knowledge. My daughter, Mykala, was one of the "bigs" on the team and Coach A was a major factor in developing this impressive talent in the tough ACC arena. We are certainly going to miss her day-to-day presence with the program, however, her influence is so far reaching that it transcends any school or geographical boundaries. She is a coach that truly cares about her student-athletes as a person first, a student next and then a player and member of a team. She will develop each role with unparalleled commitment! This is why current and former players gravitate to her nurturing style. As a parent, I felt very comfortable and at ease with my daughter under her tutelage." – AT&T Vice President of Sales (Southeast Region) Marvy Moore and Mother of Wake Forest Junior Forward Mykala Walker
"When the College of Charleston named Natasha Adair as their head women's basketball coach, they got the total package – a teacher, leader, motivator, role model, wife, mother, friend and great coach. She will inevitably bring out the best in those around her. Congratulations." – Felicia Hall Allen, Felicia Hall Allen & Associates, Consultant & Sports Management Agent, Former NIKE & WNBA Team Executive

As a power provider, hydrogen inspires a great deal of enthusiasm and more than a little wariness. a task addressed security problems related to the usage of hydrogen technologies. Hydrogen fuel cell (HFC) technology will initially be commercialised for market-ready applications such as backup energy supply, portable power generation and powering of materials handling automobiles. These programs generally need, by nature or for safety reasons, that hydrogen systems be used inside. However, current regulations, codes and standards (RCSs) are extremely incomplete regarding the practical requirements of security requirements inside. Addressing the safe indoor usage of HFC systems for early markets had been the primary objective of the project. The project desired to supply scientific and engineering understanding for indicating cost-effective means to control dangers, and to develop state-of-the-art security guidelines. It addressed understanding gaps regarding interior hydrogen accumulation, vented deflagration and under-ventilated jet fire. The created knowledge should be translated into security tips, including modern engineering tools supporting their execution. Recommendations should be developed for advancements in the EU and worldwide RCS frameworks to support the safe introduction of HFC in very early markets. Task partners sought to enhance understanding of hydrogen dispersion and accumulation in confined areas. Work centered on a room-like enclosure of typically a few tens of cubic metres with normal ventilation. Based on current and new analytical and numerical models, partners worked on determining characteristic regimes of hydrogen dispersion. Parameters such as the size of the venting location, the size of the enclosure area and the leak flow rates were taken into account. A number of experiments had been carried out to study vented hydrogen–air deflagrations and the interplay between hydrogen–air and enclosure parameters with respect to overpressure effects. Another task was to perform experimental and numerical studies on hydrogen jet fire characteristics. Focus was placed on parameters such as self-extinction, re-ignition, radiation and flame length from outside hydrogen jet fires. Feasible security methods should be given in a tips document with important rules for indoor hydrogen use in the designs. Additional safety products should be proposed whenever sizing techniques are maybe not enough to respect the safety rules.

Current favorite author
After having a grand time reading The Woman in White, I've gotten my hands on all the Wilkie Collins I've seen at bookstores. I wasn't really planning on reading Armadale next, since it's even longer than The Woman in White -- it's over 800 pages long!
Today I was holding Pride and Prejudice with the aim of going past page 42 when I kept glancing at my copy of Armadale. I put P&P down and read the first chapter of Armadale just to check how it would compare to TWIW. Before I knew it, I was already on Chapter 4!
So, I guess I can assume that Collins is my favorite author of the moment. I love all the melodrama and the over-the-top narratives. His writing is very atmospheric and he came up with the most effective cliffhangers.
Of course, with Halloween being just around the corner, I have to read something scary. And my chosen book is this anthology of horror stories edited by one of my favorites, Peter Straub. If you're looking for a truly scary ghost story, dear reader, then you should check out Straub's Ghost Story. His Shadowland and If You Could See Me Now are also creepy reads.

If I couldn't get past page 42 in P&P, Peter, I wouldn't force me to read it. There's too much other stuff out there to waste my time on something "I think" I should read. Stick with Collins.

If P+P is too heavy-going, why not try one of JA's lighter novels? Northanger Abbey is more 'fun' in a way, and maybe a bit easier to get into - and it's a great read if you're into horror stories! ;-) It's not a horror story, but it's about reading horror stories... it was the first JA I genuinely enjoyed, and then I was able to get into the others after.
Just a thought! :-)

The Unseen Eye (signed edition)
Photographs from the Unconscious
Availability: In stock
In each photograph in this idiosyncratic and compelling collection, the gaze of the subject is averted, the face obscured, or the eyes firmly closed. This catalog of anti-portraiture, amassed over the course of thirty years by New York collector W. M. Hunt, includes works by masters such as Richard Avedon, Diane Arbus, Imogen Cunningham, William Klein, Robert Mapplethorpe, and Robert Frank, as well as lesser-known artists and vernacular images. Hunt's instinctive pursuit manages to evoke a picture of humanity from birth to death, with all the associated nuances of memory, wit, eroticism, fear, grief, and horror.
More than 350 intensely evocative, frequently surreal images are brilliantly sequenced for an unnerving cumulative effect. Most critically, they are drawn together by Hunt's highly personal monologue that weaves throughout the book. The end result is a series of surprising epiphanies about how and why one collects. This volume is a must for anyone who collects or has considered putting together a collection of their own.
W. M. Hunt is a frequent lecturer on the art of collecting and an adjunct professor at the School of Visual Arts, New York. An earlier exhibition of his collection launched to critical acclaim at the Rencontres d'Arles Photographie in 2005 before traveling to the Musée de l'Elysée, Lausanne, Switzerland, and FOAM, Amsterdam.
William A. Ewing (introduction) is the former director of the Musée de l'Elysée in Lausanne, and has curated a number of international exhibitions on the themes of the body and the face. He is the author of more than a dozen books on diverse aspects of photography.

Over Here – Day 248
Sorry for the long delay. I don't have much here in the way of a post. Not much has been happening here, actually. The most exciting thing that happened was that a mortar hit this port-a-potty near our Motor Pool. Kinda funny when you think about it. Luckily no one was in it, and it happened in the dead of night. The other thing was Easter, which was fun because SSG Lopez's wife sent us all this candy. Thank you Mrs. Lopez! The other major thing was the extension of my contract. With my impending promotion, I would have an extra year in the Guard. So I figured I'd just re-enlist here for 3 more years, and get $7,500 tax free! Other than that, not much. We've had some crazy weather with some sandstorms rolling in. I'm just counting down the days to my leave. 7 days and a wake-up! So that's about it. Enjoy the pictures:
All of us, with our Easter Baskets. Thanks Mrs. Lopez!

Funkadelic Cheeses: The Source of the Smell
Say cheese! We recommend, review, and eat a lot of cheese.
A good, upstanding wheel of washed-rind can smell strongly enough to cause most scent-sensitive folks to run for the hills. Their reasoning makes sense: what sane, self-preservation savvy person would eat something that stinks so gosh-darn bad? There's a good reason, actually. Because stinky cheeses are freaking delicious.
Why do some cheeses smell so strongly? Washed-rind cheeses, for their part, have been bathed any number of things, including water, salt, wine, spices, and various liquors. The washing helps the cheese retain moisture and develop their characteristic flavors. The outside of the cheese then builds a cultivation of brevibacterium linens, otherwise known as b. linens. These cultures are what cause the strong smell.
When buying washed-rind cheeses, look for rinds that are uniformly colored—often pink, orange, or light beige. The smell should be pungent, obviously. Some ammoniated cheeses are perfectly fine to eat, but beware of any excessively ammoniated funk, as this may mean the cheese has spoiled. (When in doubt, ask your cheesemonger.) With the exception of a few cheeses, the skin should be smooth, not sticky, slimy, tacky, dry, or cracked.
Here are a handful of lovely, stinky cheeses you should try. I promise, there's gold at the end of the rainbow:
- Epoisses - The smell of this cheese might be off-putting to some, but the inside is a mild, luscious, creamy treat that is at the top of many people's Top Ten lists.
- Limburger - Perhaps the most famous stinker of all time, if the number of pop culture references are any indicator. Limburger is a soft, salty, melty cheese behind its outwardly abrasive personality.
- Taleggio - Taleggio is pungent, to be sure, but its mellow, salty, meaty flavor profile makes it an excellent cheese for both cooking and adding to a cheese plate.
- Nicasio Square - Not as smelly as some other washed rind cheeses, Nicasio Square is a good intro to stinky cheese. You'll find its flavor to be buttery, salty, and tart.
- Red Hawk - An honorably stinky triple-cream by Cowgirl Creamery, Red Hawk is a lovely experience that enchants with its salty, creamy, gently-sweet interior.
- Bonne Bouche - Not a washed rind, but still a cheese that can stink up your refrigerator. This little puck of love actually tastes like sweet, salty milk, rainbows, and unicorns.

When Will Nebraska See a Return on Its Basketball Investment?Posted by Alex Moscoso (@AlexPMoscoso) on October 25th, 2013
Most college basketball fans haven't been paying attention to what's happening in Lincoln. And honestly, unless they know a Cornhusker personally, why would they? The Nebraska program has been mostly abysmal since its inception. In its 118-year history, the basketball team has only made the NCAA Tournament five times and has yet to get past the first round. It's won only 20 games once in the last decade and hasn't been ranked since 1994 when part of something completely foreign called the Big 8. Despite all that, fans may want to start paying attention to the team in the state not named Creighton; otherwise they may miss the story arc of a program rising from the ashes. How's that? Well, largely because the boosters and athletic department in recent years have decided to finally start investing in basketball.
It started four years ago with the decision to build an $18.7 million, 84,000 square feet practice facility. Next, the administration green-lit the construction of a brand new $179 million, 15,000 seat arena which will open this year. Nebraska fans have responded in kind by selling out the Cornhuskers' first season in the shiny new building. And last year, the program hired a young and well-respected head coach in Tim Miles from Colorado State. They were able to lure him to Lincoln by offering a competitive Big Ten salary – he is set to make $1.5 million this year. But perhaps more importantly, they promised Miles he would have the resources to pay his assistant coaches competitive salaries as well. True to their word, the university has stepped up. Currently, all three assistant coaches make $200,000 or more, which, in terms of college basketball, is on the high end for an assistant coach.

Bethnal Green Ventures will receive a £1.8 million investment from the Cabinet Office, Nominet Trust and innovation charity Nesta to back up to 80 early stage technology start-ups tackling social and environmental problems.
The projects will be backed over the next four years, with Bethnal Green Ventures offering £15,000 to 20 early stage social technology ventures per year, enabling successful applicants to concentrate full time on their start-up for twelve weeks.

Even my own brother-in-law does not have an auto-injector despite his many food allergies, including peanuts and tree nuts. The first time he got one was when he began dating my sister in 1989. She said: "You have to have an EpiPen."
Today, Sean Randall, a 43-year-old artist, thinks it's in a drawer somewhere. I always ask him if he has life insurance since Sean has allergies and asthma, the combination considered the most high risk for life-threatening reactions. A severe asthmatic as a child, he spent time in the oxygen tents, and now takes the controller drug Advair daily.
He has been coping in his own way for years. As a student in boarding school in Winnipeg, he never ate toast because the knives had been in peanut butter as well as jam jars.
"You manage," he says. "You learn breakfast is cereal, you learn self-discipline." Sean once ate a peanut by accident in a restaurant with low lighting, and had an anaphylactic reaction. He added to his strategies: "be more vigilant when eating in darkly lit restaurants."
Rather than carrying an auto-injector, he figures a call to 911 will save him in a crisis. "It's less of a decision and more of laziness. If you don't use something for 20 years, it doesn't seem necessary."
Largely, he relies on avoidance: no peanuts are allowed in their house in Regina, and he doesn't go to restaurants, such as Thai eateries, that use peanuts in the kitchen. He also avoids bake sales and has learned "the hard way" which chocolate bars will set off a reaction.
Still, my sister and I hope to wear him down yet, and finally get that prescription refilled.

I knew he was a fan of postpunk (remember his far-ahead-of-the-curve reissuing of records by James Chance, Gang of Four, Devo, Flipper, Alan Vega, etc in the mid-90s via his label Infinite Zero?) but not to this extent: looking at the track list for the show, Rollins really knows the era inside and out. The show airs Saturday 25th April--tomorrow night--at 6-8 pm PST on the Santa Monica NPR station KCRW FM. As far as I can tell it can be listened to via the web live. It will also be archived online for several weeks thereafter.

"The LA Times reports that Orange County officials are locked in a legal battle with a couple accused of violating city ordinances for replacing the grass on their lawn with wood chips and drought-tolerant plants, reducing their water usage from 299,221 gallons in 2007 to 58,348 gallons in 2009. The dispute began two years ago, when Quan and Angelina Ha tore out the grass in their front yard. In drought-plagued Southern California, the couple said, the lush grass had been soaking up tens of thousands of gallons of water — and hundreds of dollars — each year. 'We've got a newborn, so we want to start worrying about her future,' said Quan Ha, an information technology manager for Kelley Blue Book. But city officials told the Has they were violating several city laws that require that 40% of residential yards to be landscaped predominantly with live plants. Last summer, the couple tried to appease the city by building a fence around the yard and planting drought-tolerant greenery — lavender, rosemary, horsetail, and pittosporum, among others. But according to the city, their landscaping still did not comply with city standards. At the end of January, the Has received a letter saying they had been charged with a misdemeanor violation and must appear in court. The couple could face a maximum penalty of six months in jail and a $1,000 fine for their grass-free, eco-friendly landscaping scheme. 'It's just funny that we pay our taxes to the city and the city is now prosecuting us with our own money,' says Quan Ha."
Note this isn't one of those terrible HOAs it's the county government.

Chefs at Newly Weds Foods, a world leader in food ingredient technology, have reduced department travel and meeting costs by 10 percent using the IBM SmartCloud for Social Business services. The cloud services allow them to easily collaborate and quickly share information and ideas online, including new region-appropriate recipes and menus as well as ingredients such as sauces, batters, breading and seasonings.
With its network of R&D, manufacturing and service facilities, which include 27 state of the art plants and 19 regional laboratories globally, Newly Weds Foods needed to find a way to more quickly accommodate the regional differences, food preparations, and ingredient availability of its food manufacturing and food service industry clients. IBM's SmartCloud services facilitate online meetings, social networking, brainstorming and online information sharing, saving Newly Weds Foods time and money spent on travel expenses, teleconference fees and in-person meetings.
Due to its rapid growth in recent years, the company needed to quickly figure out a way to work together more efficiently across geographic regions.
As more offices opened, and more chefs and thousands of new clients came into the picture, the company needed a more intelligent and streamlined form of communications.

"Working with IBM is helping Newly Weds Foods become a social business, connecting our many resources across the globe in an effort to bring better products to our customers," said Bob Brindza, Manager, management information systems (MIS), Newly Weds Foods.
IBM's SmartCloud for Social Business portfolio features social networking, online collaboration tools and e-mail as a service. It can help businesses of all sizes reduce IT costs, increase productivity and save money.
The company's MIS department has also reduced expenses by using the IBM service. Instead of traveling to teach remote employees and new divisions how to use new and existing technology tools, the MIS manager now conducts the training from the comfort of his office, saving both time and travel expenses. The research and development department recently starting using the service as well.
Additional IBM clients collaborating in the cloud include AA Translation, Brunswick, Michigan Municipal League, Russell's Convenience, Signature Mortgage, State of Vermont, and York University's Schulich School of Business in Canada.

LOVEFiLM launched in Germany
No doubt Deutche Post has looked with envy at the 2m+ DVDs travelling back and forth from LoveFilm via the Royal Mail in the UK and wants to see its home market really get moving.

Miss X is Kate Moss for AP
Agent Provocateur is a company well used to miles of column inches and PR coups. It sometimes concerns me that the brand consistently has to innovate and break new ground in order to 'move the dial'. How do you follow the Kylie movie ad? - for example.
The company has now done it again!
Following months of planning and development, the 4 part series of short films made by Mike Figgis and starring Kate Moss was launched today. The front cover of the style section of the Sunday Times and a great inside article heralded this innovation by AP and Kate.
The movies will be streamed on the AP website and the trailer is downloadable and distributable. Viral dissemination and a veritable avalanche of press coverage will inevitably follow.
Vogue.com were pretty quick of the mark!

BSA wheel bearings
Hi, wondering if anyone here is familiar with the older B31s? I've just been trying to fit new front wheel bearings and think I made a balls of it. Got them in with a bit of a struggle, the inner sleeve meant I wasn't sure what to fit on to what first. It seemed impossible to fit the second one without putting pressure on the first.Once they were both in the bearings were stiff and notchy. I took them out again and checked them both, they seemed fine, put it all together again and it was still stiff. With a bit of tapping on different bit they eased up, but still didn't seem right. Any ideas where I went wrong?

The mothers of two UC Santa Barbara students slain in an Isla Vista apartment last month are calling on parents worldwide to teach their children compassion and keep a closer watch on them, weeks after the bloody rampage that claimed six young innocent peoples' lives.
"We are not living our lives any more. We are surviving day by day," said Kelly Wang. Her son, George Chen, 19, of San Jose, was fatally stabbed May 23 in his friends' apartment amid Elliot Rodger's killing spree in Isla Vista.
"Something needs to change," she added, clutching the hand of Jane Liu, whose only son, Weihan "David" Wang, a 20-year-old from Fremont who was roommates with Rodger in the apartment where the men were killed, was also killed.
The two women and Chen's father, Junan Chen, a software engineer at Juniper Networks, spoke exclusively to NBC Bay Area on Wednesday in the Chens' San Jose living room, adorned with uplifting Buddhist sayings to pass to guests as they exit their modest home.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
A small shrine to their son was created in a small bedroom facing east – his photo, incense, a candle, Buddhist music and his favorite treats, potato chips and a bottle of Coke – were arranged to help his soul pass to a more peaceful place, his mother said.
"It is the parents' responsibility to watch their children," Wang said, adding that her family's Chinese heritage meant close bonding between parents and their children. "We teach them community service and to care and love others. It is the parents' responsibility to make sure their children are not so full of hatred."
"Our pain," she added, "is unbearable, unspeakable. We hope we are the last family who has to experience this."
Liu added that responsibility extends even further to that - to property managers who rent apartments, to police who conduct welfare checks, to family psychologists - and basically to anyone who notices inklings of trouble in a young person who may need help.
"Everybody in society has a responsibility," said Liu, an oncology nurse at Washington Hospital in Fremont. "This can be preventable."
George Chen's ashes, along with the ashes of David Wang, will be buried somewhere together in the Bay Area, their parents said.
The parents of a third friend killed in the apartment that night — C.H., 20, of San Jose, whose family requested that his initials be used instead of his full name — were in China on Wednesday, burying their son's ashes.
All three men were sophomores at UC Santa Barbara, and Chen had simply been visiting his buddies at the apartment they shared with Elliot Rodger.
Wang and C.H. had ended up rooming with Rodger after the complex's property manager randomly selected the three to live together based on the students' applications.
A shrine to slain UC Santa Barbara student George Chen was set up in his San Jose bedroom..
Kelly Wang specifically directed her words Wednesday to their sons' killer's father, Peter Rodger, a Hollywood director who worked on "The Hunger Games" and has an upcoming interview exclusive with ABC's Barbara Walters.
Wang said they are worried all the attention will increase the focus on "the killing part of the story."
Peter Rodger and his ex-wife said in a statement after the killings that they were "crying in pain" for the victims and their families. "It is now our responsibility to do everything we can to help avoid this from happening to any other family," they said.
Rodger did not immediately respond to an NBC Bay Area request for comment on Wednesday. However, a spokesman at Rodger Pictures said he would pass an emailed question to Rodger and his lawyers.
The Santa Barbara County Sheriff told the public that Peter Rodger and Elliot Rodger's mother had seen their son's violent 137-page manifesto just minutes before the rampage and had begun racing toward Santa Barbara – but it was too late.
Before they could get to Santa Barbara, Elliot Rodger had fatally stabbed the three men in his apartment and had begun a shooting spree that left another three UC Santa Barbara students dead.
Those victims were sorority sisters Katherine Breann Cooper, 22, of Chino Hills, and Veronika Elizabeth Weiss, 19, of Westlake Village, as well as Christopher Ross Michaels-Martinez, 20, of Los Osos, who was gunned down at a deli.
Elliot Rodger killed himself after the rampage.
Kelly Wang, a software engineer at SeaChange International, said she had tried to teach her son George to practice love and compassion from a young age.
When George was little, his mother taught him early to volunteer at such places as the Buddhist Tzu Chi Foundation, where he learned to care for anyone in need. They would also feed the homeless together as a family and George often sang at a local nursing home. In high school, he tutored students in math.
Parents are their childrens' first teachers, she said. And if children show signs of mental illness, she said, then parents must do everything in their power to stay at their sides and help.
"Children are hungry for parents' time, to be physically with them," she said. "I would quit my job. I would check on him every day. I would invite friends to come over. I would make sure he was taking his medicine. This is more important that money."
The irony, Wang and Liu said, was that if their sons had known that Elliot Rodger was in need or suffered from mental illness, they would have been the first to help.

Squeezing Racing Dollars
As a small team, Norm Benning has to get the most from a little
You can read stories about many things that encompass a complicatedracing world. This story is not a feel-sorry story. It's not a put-downstory. It's definitely not anything of a negative vein. Actually, it istwo stories in one: the story of Norm Benning and how he has gotten themost out of his racing dollars.
Benning is more than qualified to speak on the subject of squeezingracing dollars. It hasn't always been that way for him. As Norm likes tosay, "I've been to the mountain." Quite obviously, he'd like to go backthere. In the meantime, he's in the savings mode that got him the shotat that mountain--and that keeps him racing.
Norm does his racing in the ARCA RE/MAX Series, arguably the mostversatile oval track series in the world. They race big tracks such asDaytona and Talladega, intermediates such as Michigan, Chicago, KansasCity, and short tracks. They also race their NASCAR-clone, 3,400-poundcars on dirt. The biggest difference between NASCAR and ARCA is that theteams that run ARCA on a regular basis are, for the most part, muchsmaller operations.
It's always been tough in ARCA, with one of the most grueling weekendshappening a number of years ago. Picture this scenario: Teams would raceat Michigan International's 2-mile superspeedway on a Saturday and racethe next day in Illinois on a 1-mile dirt track. That meant teams likeNorm's (that had only one race car) had to turn a superspeedway car intoa dirt car while inside the transporters on the road from Michigan toIllinois. The dirt events that ARCA runs are not your average dirtraces, either. They race at what former ARCA champ Bob Keselowski called"The Superspeedways of Dirt." They are 1-mile flat dirt horse tracksthat are in Springfield and DuQuoin, both in Illinois. How's that forversatility?
That brings us to Norm. Essentially, he and his crewchief Linda Nicholasare the team. Linda does the organizational stuff such as gatheringparts or administrative duties. As she says, "I do whatever it takes atthe time, what we need. I spot, I run the pit, I work on a car if I haveto. I go over the wall if I have to--whatever it takes. I do it all."
With that small number of full-time team members comes a car inventorythat is just as small. Unlike the upper end teams in ARCA, Norm doesn'thave the $500,000 to $1 million-plus sponsorship pool of funds to workwith. His sponsorship money works more on a race-to-race basis, pickingup local and regional corporate partners. Again, there's no pity partygoing on here. Norm wouldn't allow that. It's the story of Norm andLinda, running essentially two cars where other teams have four, six, ormore. Two cars may not sound too awfully bad to a Saturday night racerwho only has one. Keep in mind that in any given ARCA race, there are anumber of specialists with purpose-built cars just for that track.
Running a national series--even if it's only working on as little as twocars--has to require some help, and Norm has got that covered. Ask Normabout keeping a crew on the road and he laughs, "I know people all overthe country. We have four or five people that are pretty much at everyrace. The rest of them we pick up. Out at DuQuoin, I have Jack Greenwoodand family and friends that just can't wait for me to get there. Theyknow how to work on the race car, and they're there. When we go toDaytona, we have people who work for Caterpillar down there that can'twait for us to get there and race. I have people all over the country,and they just call me and make sure I'm coming because they're going tobe there. When I had SoBe, which was a major sponsorship, we had half adozen full-time people. Now we have full-time people, but they'revolunteers."
While looking at the racing endeavors on Norm Benning's resume, onemight be surprised. After all, we're talking about a race car that willoccasionally show a few rust spots, some different color matches onrepairs, and has a mighty small crew. His results, however, are nothingless than stellar. He comes from good stock. His father, Norm BenningSr., is a Hall of Famer who has given his son plenty of help. Norm Jr.has finished in the Top 10 in ARCA points seven out of the last eightyears. Six of those years were consecutive, too. The year he didn't makethe Top 10, he was only as far back as Thirteenth in points. He's rankedas high as Fifth in points, has scored five Top 5s, 28 Top 10s, and hasled some races. If that isn't a stout enough resume for you, considerthis: Norm has 18-20 NASCAR Cup races under his belt, too. In fact,there were times he would go to Daytona in February with two cars, onefor the ARCA race and one for NASCAR. That's right, a low-buck guy wentNASCAR. That in and of itself shows it can still happen.
The condensed version of Norm's NASCAR experience is that Norm hooked upwith SoBe Drinks and went racing. Norm remembers it fondly. One of manyhighlights was trying to break into a NASCAR race. "Richard Childresscame over to me at Dover after I qualified. I had a pretty good car, andI got the thing sideways going into Turn 1. I saved it and qualified forthe Dover race. It was my first [Winston] Cup race. He came over andshook my hand. I don't know that he'd even remember this, I hope hewould, but he shook my hand and said, 'One other guy, I think, mighthave been able to do that. And he's driving my car.' That was theultimate compliment of my life."
Today, Norm's ARCA schedule features consecutive races at totallydifferent racetracks, making chassis setup a virtual nightmare. What ifyou had to race Toledo, a high-banked pavement short track, only twodays prior to racing the flat dirt at DuQuoin? Then, what if you had torace at Chicagoland, a 11/2-mile superspeedway, less than a week later,and you only had two cars to work with? That's Norm's current status,but he has a plan. "I actually have a friend that lives up nearDuQuoin," Norm says. "He has a big farm, and it's like a holiday when Iget there. All the neighbors come over and everything. It's great. Theycook fresh corn and steaks and look forward to it every year. They havea big barn where they keep all their tractors. We back the cars in thereand change 'em and get them ready for the dirt. We have more people thanwe really know what to do with in his shop. We go to DuQuoin and then wego back to his house, change the car back again, and head for Chicago."
Other than the obvious types of tracks, there are tire issues, too. "Werun bias tires at Toledo and run dirt tires at DuQuoin," Norm says. "Then, we run the radial tires in Chicago. So that's three tracks andthree totally different tires. Obviously, all suspension is different ateach track. It's semi-banked at Toledo, so you need a spring that is alittle heavier. At DuQuoin, it's flat; it's an old horse track. Youspring the car pretty soft there. In Chicago, you're probably in betweenthose two setups. We had shocks specially built for Toledo and Chicago.We have specially built dirt shocks, also."
With ARCA being a regular event on the Illinois dirt miles, does Normuse a playbook? "We have a playbook, and I very seldom follow it [helaughs]. We go out there and we practice and adjust accordingly becausedirt is never ever the same. It depends on how much water and calciumthey put on and how much sun or shade there is. That affects all tracks,not just dirt, but it affects dirt a lot more. As the race goes on, thedirt track will start picking up rubber. It'll get black and get realslick, and you have to keep up with the racetrack. We're pretty goodwith that," Norm says.
We can learn from Norm just what is involved with changing over a car.In the ARCA life, it happens pretty often. "[It happens] every race,"Norm says. "We make adjustments like everybody else during the race. Youvery seldom ever have a car that stays perfect all day. From track totrack, aerodynamics (which we don't have a lot of) is a big part of it.The bigger the track, the more important the aero package is. We don'thave any wind tunnel time."
He's a commercial pilot with a degree in aerodynamics, so he knows whatto look for. "From looking at other cars that do have that wind tunneltime, we can adjust the body, fenders, and quarter-panels, and we canraise and lower the car," Norm says. "That's how we handle aerodynamics.At just about every track you run, there is a different spring and shocksetup. Obviously, there are different tire compounds, and you have toadjust for that--sway bars, too. Again, that's all affected byaerodynamic downforce. If you have a lot of downforce in the car,sometimes it requires more sway bar or less sway bar. You kind of adjustyour chassis around your aerodynamic package."
But what happens when Norm hits a new track on the schedule? "We wentinto Memphis for the first time, and nobody tested. When we go to a newtrack, it's kind of an advantage for me because we don't have the budgetright now to go test at these places. When we go to a new venue, I'musually pretty good." Logic would dictate that is based on a lot ofexperience, but there's more. "I take care of equipment. I haven'twrecked a race car to the point of bending the frame in over two years.I'm starting my third year now. That's probably unheard of in thissport. We finish in the Top 10; it's not like I'm riding around."
What does Norm want the average fan in the stands to know about hisoperation? "Like the saying, 'We've done so much with so little for solong, we can do anything with nothing,' it would be great for somebodyto notice that we're capable of winning races and try to help us outfinancially with some sort of sponsorship," Norm says. "We keep knockin'on the door, but we can't keep up with the amount of tires the sponsorsand teams put on their cars. A set of tires is $1,800, and some of theseteams today will go through five or six sets of [radial] tires. Theshort-track tires, I believe, are $800 a set. Our chassis are as good asanybody's. We've proven that, but we just can't keep up with the tirebill. We've got to run our tires longer. As a result, we don't go asfast because these tires give up."
Despite the somewhat day-to-day thing, Norm still has plans. ". . . I'mgoing to go to Daytona next February with a Cup car and try and makethat 500 . . . I love Daytona; it's my favorite place."
What would he say to young and upcoming drivers? "If these young guyshad to go race the way I go racing, they'd quit--it's as simple as that.They would not do what we have to do to go racing."
Maybe not, but we can learn from Norm.

Man arrested in Lafayette Co. killings was not Waukesha apartment resident
The investigation into the deaths of three people in Lafayette County came to a conclusion across the state Sunday in the city of Waukesha.
Waukesha police Lt. Tom Wagner said officers took 31-year-old Jaren Kuester into custody Sunday at an apartment complex on Delafield Street, more than 100 miles from the scene of the triple homicide.
Wagner said Kuester was taken into custody as a person of interest at the request of Lafayette County law enforcement officials after the truck of one of the homicide victims was spotted in a Waukesha parking lot.
"This is a very unusual thing for here," said Peggy Graves, property manager for Willow Park Apartments. "It's a very peaceful community. A very kind community."
The victims were identified Monday as Gary Thoreson, 70; his wife Chloe, 66; and his brother Dean, 76.
Wagner said Kuester was taken into custody without incident. Any relationship between Kuester and the victims has not yet been disclosed.
"The suspect was not a tenant here," Graves said. "Our hearts do go out to the families of the victims."
Graves also said it's a locked building, and they don't plan to change any security procedures.
"An incident like this, tenants can have a visitor, so it's not any kind of a lockdown situation, it's a home. It's their home, so if there's a visitor, we don't do background checks at the door," she said.
Graves said she believes this was an isolated incident, and her tenants can continue living in peace.

I'm not a Gnome user. But personally, I've had just enough whining about the location of the minimize, maximize and close buttons in Lucid. Ordinarily I wouldn't bother trying to help out Gnome users because Gnome itself is deliberately hamstrung and at the same time grotesquely overweight, but this is something so simple and so straightforward as to make all the whining rather painful.
Open your terminal. Type
gconf-editor and press return. Result:
Skim down to apps > metacity > general. On the right you should see a key entitled, "button_layout". Right-click and pick "Edit Key…"
Change the contents of the Value box to
:maximize,minimize,close. In essence, you're moving one single character, a colon from the end to the beginning.
Press OK and your buttons should immediately bounce back to the right.
The settings are stored in the .gconf folder in your home directory, so you can hand-edit them too if you want.
Now can we stop the whining and go back to the important stuff, like saving the world from evil software monopolies and rampant materialism? 👿

Click to Learn More about C#/XAML for HTML5.
Here is what's new since Beta 11.6:
- Further improved the "Silverlight Migration Edition" compatibility:
- Changed the default access modifier of objects defined in XAML. They are now "internal" rather than "private" (applies only to SL Migration projects - other projects behave like UWP)
- RoutedEventArgs now inherits from EventArgs
- Fixed the signature of the DispatcherTimer.Tick event
- Replaced "RangeBaseValueChangedEventArgs" with "RoutedPropertyChangedEventArgs<T>" and "RangeBaseValueChangedHandler" with "RoutedPropertyChangedEventHandler<T>"
- Moved the property "IsHitTestVisible" from "FrameworkElement" to "UIElement"
- The "InitializeComponent()" method is now marked as "public" (like in MS XAML) rather than "private"
- Fixed an issue that caused Storyboards to not behave correctly
- Fixed an issue that caused Visual States to not behave correctly (fixed a recent regression)
- Fixed an issue where iterating an HashSet<T> with a "foreach" statement would produce instances of type "object" rather than type "T"
If you haven't already, be sure to check out the screenshots of the new Silverlight Migration Wizard introduced in the previous Beta 11.5!

After many months of deliberation, the Trusted Computing Group has finally announced that it has finalized the draft specifications for incorporating built-in encryption and security services directly into hard drives and other storage devices. Trusted Storage is part of a new generation of security protocols that are built directly into hardware, and includes devices such as Intel's Trusted Platform Module (TPM). While the Trusted Storage Group says that the specs for Trusted Storage may change slightly from the draft version, they are final enough for both hardware and software developers to start building devices and applications that support the specification right now. The official specs are referred to as "Version 1.0, Revision 0.9—draft" in accordance with traditional storage-related standards.
The new spec allows the creation of "trusted storage units" on hard drives and other media, where only approved applications are allowed to read and write data. These units are stored on hidden partitions that are not viewable by standard drive partitioning software. Data stored on the trusted partitions can only be accessed when the drive receives a signal from the CPU that it is authorized to access the data on the hard drive. The drive then responds with a signal that confirms that it is in fact the same hard drive that the computer believes it is accessing. The drives do not require that the computer in question have a TPM module on the motherboard, but if one is present it extends the "trust boundary" of the platform, providing additional security against tampering.
The new guidelines include built-in encryption and decryption, handled by hardware on the hard drive itself. Security functions in the specification include public-key encryption, digital signatures, hashing functions, and random number generation. Of course, these sorts of technologies are not new, and software-based encryption schemes have been around for a while now: some of the more interesting ones even have the concept of hidden partitions that can't easily be discovered by casual inspection. Still, the idea of creating hardware-based solutions such as Trusted Storage is to make such technologies more mainstream and acceptable for business users, who are often concerned about the leaking of confidential data. Data removed from a Trusted Storage unit by traditional means cannot be read on other computers.
The Trusted Storage specification was developed by 60 of the Trusted Computing Group's 175 member companies. Devices ranging from hard drives to optical storage that support Trusted Storage are expected to appear on the market in the upcoming months. IBM and Lenovo, two of the biggest promoters of the Trusted Computing Group, are expected to be among the first to release devices that support Trusted Storage. No other companies have as of yet announced support for the standard, but other members of the TCG such as Hitachi, Seagate, SanDisk, and Western Digital are likely to incorporate support into their products as well.

For the tomato paste which will yield 180gm:
- - 3KG fresh ripe market tomatoes, chopped in quarters (can be blemished/not right size)
- 4 cloves garlic
- 3 bay leaves
- 1/4 cup olive oil
Place the chopped tomatoes in a large stock pot with the rest of the ingredients and cook for 25 minutes (or until soft). Transfer the softened tomatoes to a fine food mill and mill the tomatoes until all that is left is the seeds and skin (can be discarded or used in a bisque). Oil a baking pan with some olive oil and place the puree in the pan. Place the pan in a pre-heated 150C oven and cook for 5-6 hours. You will need to spread the tomatoes around with a spatula every 30 minutes to avoid sticking/burning. During the cooking time, the water will evaporate and the tomatoes will cook slowly. After the cooking time is complete, cool down the paste and place in a food processor. Process the paste until a smooth consistency is achieved. Below is a picture of the cooked paste:
For the actual ketchup:
- - 180gm tomato paste
- 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 cup white vinegar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Combine the above ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk until smooth. Continue to simmer for a further 20 minutes. Add more vinegar, honey/syrup and other spices to achieved desired flavor. Allow the sauce to cool and process in a food processor until completely smooth. Alternatively, grated apple or caramelized onion can be added to achieve a different taste. For BBQ sauce, molasses and more sugar/honey/syrup can be added. Below is a picture of the finished product:
Let me know if you have any questions/suggestions. Enjoy with your favorite homemade sausage!
