It is appropriate to consider hospice care whenever an individual is facing a life-limiting illness and a cure is not possible and/or when the focus of an individual's care is on comfort instead of a cure. It is up to an individual's doctor to order hospice care.
Is hospice care limited to people with cancer?
No. Hospice care is available to anyone with a life-limiting illness such as advanced heart disease, lung disease, end-stage dementia, and other chronic diseases.
Hospice services are paid for by Medicare, Medical Assistance, and most private insurances.
How does hospice work in a skilled nursing facility?
Individuals may choose to have hospice in a skilled nursing facility. Guardian Angels † Elim Hospice works closely with area facilities to provide coordination of care when the hospice team visits patients at a skilled nursing facility.
Why should I choose Guardian Angels † Elim Hospice?

If Jos� Mourinho is going to continue with the gungho tactics then I suggest all Tottenham stadium seats should be fitted with safety-belts, and I will get one attached to my sofa. His first three games have left us breathless with a mixture of excitement and anxiety, and should have carried a health warning.
When Jos� first met Dele Alli he asked if he was his brother, because he could not recognise his ponderous performances. We are entitled to ask the same of Mourinho. Is this is his brother who has taken over the manager�s hot seat from Mauricio Pochettino?
On the evidence of his first three games (three wins, 10 goals scored, 6 conceded), this cannot possibly be the same Mourinho who has usually adopted a park-the-bus philosophy. It is a cautious approach that has brought him the little matter of 25 trophies.
The early (very early) signs are that he wants to win matches with flair and a flourish, and it is an approach that has been quickly embraced by Dele Alli. His artistic nonchalance and barely concealed arrogance are vital ingredients of his game but had been missing in recent months.
As our guru Paul H. Smith reports here, Dele�s swagger and style were impressively back in place against Bournemouth on Saturday. Mourinho has clearly breathed new belief into the gold-plated prospect. We keep forgetting he is still only 23.
And how long is it since we�ve seen those booming 40 yard passes from Toby Alderweireld? They landed like mortar shells in the Bournemouth penalty area and Dele thrived on the long-range service.
Has Mourinho�s magic also rubbed off on Sissoko? His superbly taken goal was as rare as a snowflake in the Sahara. More please, Moussa.
I was so moved by Mourinho�s early impact that I turned to the piano to express my emotion. I have been murdering Spurs songs for (gulp) more than 70 years and I need to apologise to music lovers everywhere.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ttw1a2ACrNE&list=UUiPkGUBZSdfHKMLX191BDNQ&index=2&t=0s (Ed: I haven't viewed this yet, but I see Norman has issued a health warning!)
Meantime, the much-adored Mauricio Pochettino has been home to Argentina for a well-earned break, and good sources tell me that is where his heart is and that eventually he will manage the national team.
But there are so many opportunities opening for him in Europe that he could find himself having to choose between next coaching at Bayern Munich, Dortmund, Real Madrid, Old Trafford or down the road at the Emirates.
His eyes and ears will be tuned into Manchester on Wednesday when his successor Mourinho (or is it his brother?) takes Tottenham back to the club where he had one of his few flops.
A Spurs victory just might open the door for Pochettino to take over at United. Plus there are growing rumours that Gareth Bale could be persuaded to come �home� to the new Lane!
Yes (as Greavsie always said): �It�s a funny old game.�
Glory, glory Jos�s Army!
Who won 42 caps, had two spells at Spurs and on which ground was he sent off while playing for Tottenham in a Champions� League quarter-final?
Last week�s SOQL question: Which son of an Olympic basketball player won 26 international caps, helped his country win the Copa America in 1995, later played for Spurs and to which Tottenham boss was he assistant manager?
The answer: Gustavo Poyet, who was an energetic No 2 to Juande �One Day Wonder� Ramos. Uruguayan Gus was a popular player and backroom coach at Tottenham, and most recently managed at Bordeaux.

Hard News: Rugby Now
BenWilson, in reply to Glenn Pearce, 09:43 Jun 8, 2017
I think at the end of this winter I'll be ditching my Sky subscription and joining the local bowling club so I have somewhere to go to watch the odd game.
Now that is not a bad idea.
BenWilson, 11:20 Jun 8, 2017
I've had a general decline in interest in all televized sport. I used to like the Olympics, but for the last couple I haven't even bothered. I put it down to excessive professionalism. Essentially, the whole point of it seems lost. To me, sport was a part of life that encompassed some healthy values, but I don't see any of these values embodied any more (in professional sport). I see a machine that generates freaks, chews them up and spits them out.
I don't want my own kids anywhere near toxic rugby culture. The natural choice for local high school is Kelston, but I have no intention of sending my frail son to a school where a pupil was beaten to death by a couple of guys whose identities we are not even allowed to know because they are promising rugby players.
My ambitions for my kids is to have a well-rounded interest in sport via participation. If one of them excels, fine, but the ultimate aim is for them to develop healthy bodies and habits, teamwork skills and hopefully some lasting friendships. Rugby is particularly unlikely as a choice, since it's basically an injury fest. You don't see too many guys my age playing rugby, their participation in the sport is sitting around in shitty bars drinking beer and reliving their glory days, and making homophobic and racist slurs the whole time, while the soccer guys are still running around actually doing their sport. It's not at all inclusive of women.
Yes, the cultural touchstone aspect is there, but it's fading fast. Last time there was an All Blacks test that I intended to enjoy with mates, I think only one guy there actually sat and watched it consistently. It felt hollow and unenjoyable. We absolutely thrashed whoever it was, and it wasn't some second string team, was like Oz or something. Don't remember, don't care. I think we might well have re-engaged the party by switching over to YouTube and watching Fails or something. Which everyone, including the kids, could appreciate. They could also participate, making picks of their own.

In Britain, that's pretty much the other way round. People interested in soccer spend their time hanging out in shitty pubs and making homophobic and racist slurs. Nothing to do with the code - it's a problem that will attach itself to the mainstream/working class sport in any country.

Yes, a lot do that. But when I say you don't see "many" guys my age playing rugby, I actually meant I NEVER see it. Whereas middle aged guys playing soccer, I know half a dozen guys. The die-hard-est rugger fan mate of mine joined a club about 5 years ago for a bit, got hurt badly during the training and games and that was basically the end of it. Said he went for after drinks one time, got called a pussy and a faggot and decided that actually, there was literally nothing in it for him any more. Whereas every other sport I've ever done (well OK apart from kickboxing, which also has a strongly professional element to it), had at least one old fart giving it a go and getting something out of it.

As you say, it's an injury-fest. It's not really possible to play seriously if you can't maintain a relatively high level of fitness and even then you'll break stuff. I played every weekend for years but stopped when I left school, and that was in the amateur days. But touch is quite different – there are plenty of guys in their 40s playing that.
I dunno about the rest though. What you described above is a bunch of people who actually aren't that into the game. When I went to games at Eden Park it was actually pretty chill and there were quite a few young women. And enduring watching with boofheads has been the exception rather than the rule for me.
Hugh Wilson, 18:22 Jun 8, 2017
My experience is that any team sport activity is likely to result in injuries, usually because other people (especially blokes) get so gee'd up on adrenaline, testosterone and/or frustration they end up impacting others (be it through fouls, poor coordination or poor judgement). I threw the towel in when I was late 20's and got more into cycling / mountain biking instead!

Yes, although they were more into it in the past.
Geoff Lealand, 22:41 Jun 8, 2017
My theory (possibly half-baked) about the links between soccer and racism, sexism and violence is that is a game which often lacks narrative resolution ie a bunch of over-paid blokes kick a ball around for 90 minutes, ending up with one or two goals--or, worse still, a scoreless draw or a rather demeaning penalty shoot-out. So, the fans have to do something to fill in the time--drink and create havoc, for example.
I recall major matches in Cardiff, where portable beer stalls were on every corner and mounted police roamed in packs, Post-game, the city resembled a war-zone. There was never the same threat of violence in the air when there was rugby at the Millennium Stadium.
Good rugby is so more satisfying in terms of the stories it constructs--the final moments of the Lions vs Blues last night, for example,
With some blokes I know, following soccer seems like a rather snobby strategy to differentiate themselves from the mainstream sport of NZ rugby,
BenWilson, in reply to Geoff Lealand, 23:06 Jun 8, 2017
It always seemed to involve British/European signalling when I was a kid. But the signalling was both ways, rugby always staking the claim of being salt of the earth genuine kiwi thing despite the quite small number of people I actually knew playing it. Of course my formative years were marred by 1981. But I think the hostility to the game that many quite righteously developed was also something we were quick to shed, a kind of emotional amnesty following that outpouring. The threat of violence from rugby supporters was actually something that loomed quite large in my childhood consciousness. But yes, the British soccer hooliganism is a whole other thing.
simon g, in reply to Geoff Lealand, 23:27 Jun 8, 2017
Sorry, but that really is nonsense. Feel free to prefer one sport to another - none is "better" by any quantifiable standard, people might get their kicks from windsurfing or bowls. But to deny the "stories" of the world's most popular team sport is just a bit weird, as if the news of a century has somehow passed you by. And that theory isn't so much half-baked as not even a recipe. You might as well argue that "A bunch of bad things have happened in the world since the blues turned into the beat and then pop, ergo popular music is to blame." It's what millions of people do and like, and since people do a lot of stuff, that will include bad stuff.
There's a wealth of quality writing on football easily available online or on the page, I'd suggest reading some of it.
dave stewart, 13:27 Jun 9, 2017
Can somebody please explain to me why in NZ we tolerate monopolistic business practices by television broadcasters (e.g. exclusive sports rights), yet in almost every other sector of commerce we have rules and tools to prevent businesses from obtaining a monopolistic advantage?
Does the ComComm not have enough teeth to do something about this, or are there special laws protecting the TV/sports sectors?
Seems to me like another example of free trade being a noble objective when it benefits large corporates, but to be prevented as much as possible when it might benefit individual consumers.

Sorry, but that really is nonsense.
I confess, I have thought along similar lines to Geoff. I followed football when I lived in the UK, but the lack of resolution in football drives me nuts these days. A rugby match is full of small victories and defeats – not just scoring events, but scrums, lineouts, breakdowns. The ball is in play for a much shorter time, but there are more quantifiable events. I do wonder if that's why big rugby crowds are more tepid in both a negative and positive sense.

Arilou's Mad Ramblings
First Day of Summer Feast - The Lq Trascript
-Town Crier shouts: Hear ye! Hear ye! A grave threat has been brought to our attention and it is asked that all heroes of the land be ready to take up arms against this terrible threat that may strike at any moment. If you wish to learn more about this, I am told that an envoy was sent to the feast to tell the tale to those in attendance.
*a half hour passes*
-Town Crier shouts: Hear ye! Hear ye! Reports are coming in that Stoneybrook suffered a grave attack. Many innocent people were killed and the damage was significant.
-Town Crier shouts: Hear ye! Hear ye! Follow up reports confirm suspicions that Stoneybrook was destroyed by a Conqueror Wurm and an army of Nec-Bathat's followers.
-Town Crier shouts: Hear ye! Hear ye! The wurm was seen burrowing into the ground and its army taking off on foot. An investigation is underway to find out where it is heading so that this unholy army can be confronted and put down before many more innocent lives are lost.
*minutes later*
-Town Crier shouts: Hear ye! Hear ye! It has been reported that the small hamlet of Ashberry, located north of Stoneybrook, has also been destroyed.
-Town Crier shouts: Hear ye! Hear ye! It has now been confirmed that the Conqueror Wurm was once against responsible and has since moved on from that location. Fortunately a mage, in service to a special order of mages, managed to stumble upon the army while searching for possible locations the Conqueror Wurm would strike next. Although she was killed, it is said she managed to cast a tracking spell on the wurm which will allow her order to track the beast and determine where he is headed in advance. They are now viewing him with their magical orbs and should be able to alert us to where he is headed shortly.
-Town Crier shouts: Hear ye! Hear ye! The mages have informed us that the wurm is headed to the elven village of Raukos Nwalya, located near the edge of the Almien forest. They implore you to head there with all haste as it is expected that he an his army will already be in the middle of searching the village before the nearest heroes can get there.
*the battle wages on*
-Town Crier shouts: Hear ye! Hear ye! Bad news! The Conqueror Wurm has burrowed underground and the bulk of his army has taken off as well. The mages are once again tracking him in hopes of trying to pinpoint the next village he plans to attack.
-Town Crier shouts: Hear ye! Hear ye! The mages believe the great wurm is headed for Bilyn's Town, located near the bridge south of Noir. Once again, please hurry with all haste lest you wish to get there after the wurm has already ravaged the place and moved on.
*the battle wages on**
-Town Crier shouts: Hear ye! Hear ye! The great wurm and its army has continued on once more!
-Town Crier shouts: Hear ye! Hear ye! It's believed the wurm is headed for Claverack, located Northwest of Noir.
-Town Crier shouts: Hear ye! Hear ye! Scratch that. The mages believe the wurm is instead headed for the shoreside hamlet of Fallwick, located east of Toys in the Attic.
-Town Crier shouts: Hear ye! Hear ye! The great wurm and its army has left Fallwick.
-Town Crier shouts: Hear ye! Hear ye! The Wurm is on its way to the Orc infested Town currently known as Orc's Rock! It's located just north of Toys in the Attic and northwest of Fallwick.
-Town Crier shouts: Hear ye! Hear ye! It looked like the band of heroes were about to defeat the wurm this time around, but it once again has burrowed into the ground and taken off!
-Town Crier shouts: Hear ye! Hear ye! The wurm is headed to Blackwynne, located southeast of the Temple of Life, next! Hurry brave heroes!
-Town Crier shouts: Hear ye! Hear ye! Moral is low as the wurm once again vanishes by burrowing into the ground.
-Town Crier shouts: Oh my dear! Oh my dear! The mages have reported that the wurm and its army are now headed for Alaria! Quick! Quick! This beast must be stopped before its too late for Alaria and its many citizens!
-Town Crier breathes a sigh of relief and shouts: Hear ye! Hear ye! The mages appear to have been mistaken. The wurm was actually headed to Shadowham, located by the sea, just north of Alaria.
-Town Crier shouts: Hear ye! Hear ye! The wurm has escaped death once more.
-Town Crier shouts: Hear ye! Hear ye! The mages report that it is on the move eastward, but aren't sure where it is headed as of yet.
-Town Crier shouts: Hear ye! Hear ye! The wurm's army has been spotted moving along King's Road, but still no confirmation as to were they or the wurm are headed.
-Town Crier shouts: Hear ye! Hear ye! We have word! The wurm is almost at Hawthorne. It is a little known village, hidden deep in the mountains west of Blackrose. It can only be accessed through a series of caves under the mountains. The entrance to said caves is located south of Blackrose's main gate.
-Town Crier shouts: Hear ye! Hear ye! Reports indicate that the bulk of the wurm's army have set up camp in the caves leading to Hawthorne so as to slow down any attempts at approaching the village.
-From as far away as Alaria and the great feast, a bright blue light can be seen shimmering on the mountains where Hawthorne is located. The light appears to be a series of blue rays that originate from Hawthorne.
-You stare upon the light in amazement and wonder what it going on there just as a loud boom echoes down through the land.
-In Hawthorne, the band of heroes fall back as a great beast of a thing appears before them...Nec-bathat...She's....here...They found the relic. No!
-Tears well up in the eyes of many of those who risked their lives to trying to stop her from returning as they look upon the horrifying sight that is Nec-bathat, demon goddess of death. This cannot be how it ends, they think...It just can't be.
-And with that thought, the battered and tired heroes seem to gather every bit of energy and courage they have left within them, for they move forward in unison and prepare to die trying to stop this demi-god from realizing its dreams of complete and utter destruction. Although the effort seems futile, none seem to care as they shrug off the pain from the multiple bloody wounds, that cover their bodies, and charge at the she-demon.
-Town Crier shouts: antithigram led the battle in vanquishing Conqueror Wurm!
*the ultimate battle takes place*
-Town Crier shouts: patriarch led the battle in vanquishing Nec-Bathat!
-After a long, hard battle, the final blow is inflicted onto Nec-bathat, causing her physical body to collapse onto the ground. You can hear a long, high-pitched wail as her immortal spirit is sent back to the Abyss where her body can be reformed. Although she has been defeated this day, the threat of Nec-bathat looms on forever more.
-Town Crier shouts: I...I don't believe it. None of us do. Nec-bathat has been vanquished! The land is safe!
-Throughout the land, cheers go up for the brave heroes who fought and died this day. Chatter takes place about erecting a monument to them and someone suggests later dragging the heroic statue from the feast, all the way to Hawthorne. Cries of; "Great idea!" ensue.
-Suddenly a bright flash of red light is seen falling from the heavens onto Hawthorne. Those there are startled to see a Phoenix, as bright and beautiful as the sun itself.
-A series of loud voices speak at once: Well done, people of Wyvern. Nec-bathat knows better than to try to directly strike out at mortals in such a fashion. As a demi-god she is not normally restricted to being stuck in the Abyss after a defeat here, in the prime material plane. But as punishment, we have once again made sure she is banished for a hundred of your years. At which point we will evaluate if she has learned her lesson.
-You realize that the voices were actually many of the goodly gods and so you bow your heads in reverence to their glory and continued kindness. After a fashion, you look up to gaze upon the phoenix once more. It was sent to channel their voices to you and, knowing that, you smile at the phoenix...nay the symbol of hope that majestically poses before you.
-As an afterthought a small group think to search for the relic, but it is nowhere to be found. One can only hope the gods took it for safekeeping. You try to convince yourself that that is the most likely scenario, but a feeling of dread fills your body anyway.

Hairstyles Of The Week Courtesy Taapsee Pannu's Manmarziyaan!
Taapsee Pannu has been doing the promotional rounds for her movie Manmarziyaan, that's releasing today. We have been loving her chill indo-western vibe. I think she's solely responsible for making the kolhapuri chappals and puffy skirt look chic! She has been serving up some pretty interesting hairstyles through this journey. Updos, ponytails, twisted half updos, Taapsee's done it all. If you have super curly hair, this is your hairstyle lookbook for any event that you have to attend. Shall we?
What I love about most of these hairstyles is that they are all celebrating her natural hair texture. Basically, most of these hairstyles wouldn't need any heat styling at all.
She's absolutely killing it with her hair game this time around. If you are a fellow curly haired beauty, you might want to stock up on these products to care for your hair.

On 17th July 2014, representatives of the European Foundation of Human Rights (EFHR) took part in the celebrations of the Polish Army Holiday in the Vilnius Region, entitled "Oddysey of a Polish Soldier", and held in Miedniki.
During the celebrations, not only did EFHR have the opportunity to watch a performance prepared by the Vilnius Theatrical Study and taste some field-kitchen specialties, but we also had the chance to disseminate knowledge on human rights via the distribution of leaflets and publications addressed both to children and adults. All the guests eagerly took advantage of the free-of-charge legal aid and were interested in particular spheres of the Foundation's activity.
Educational materials, i.e. the textbook "Poles, Europeans, Citizens", designed especially at the Council of Europe's request, Polish and Lithuanian versions of the Council of Europe's educational brochure "Rights and Freedoms in practice" (which perfectly illustrates the European Convention on Human Rights and also illustrates how the European Court of Human Rights functions) were promptly disappearing from the EFHR's stand. Younger participants and their parents were mostly interested in brochures entitled "47 countries and one organization..the Council of Europe" and "Get to know Europe", both dedicated to children, which indicates the growing interest and the subsequent urge for access to such publications.
We are glad that many people visiting our tent claimed to be following our victories in the media and, moreover, they positively assessed our overall performance.
All people seeking to receive free-of-charge legal advice or cooperate with EFHR are kindly invited to contact us.

History Laid down as War Theseus for The Shipping Controller, completed in July 1919 as Wangaretta for British India Steam Navigation Co Ltd, London. 1929 renamed Tacoma Star for Blue Star Line Ltd, London. At 22.40 hours on 3 May 1941, the Tacoma Star was hit by a heavy bomb while in dock at Liverpool during an air raid on the city. She caught fire and settled slowly by the stern on to the dock bottom, but was subsequently salvaged and repaired.
Notes on event
At 03.30 hours on 1 Feb 1942, U-109 fired a spread of three torpedoes at the unescorted Tacoma Star (Master Robert George Whitehead) about 387 miles north of Bermuda. One torpedo hit at the forward hold and a second struck amidships in the engine room, causing the ship to sink by the bow after four minutes. The U-boat was just about to meet U-130 (Kals) for refueling when the vessel was spotted at 16.20 hours on 31 January and Bleichrodt began chasing the zigzagging ship. The Germans reported that the crew abandoned ship in five lifeboats but the survivors were not questioned as the vessel had already been identified from her distress signals. These signals were also received ashore and USS Roe (DD 418) was sent to search for survivors but found no trace of the ship because the position 37°33N/69°21W mentioned in the radio message proved to be wrong. The master, 87 crew members and nine gunners were lost.

The Skills Learned by Student Athletes Go Far Beyond the Field
Gabe Hicks coaches up a younger player on the sideline
Jim Shult
Hunter Henry, Staff Writer
At 6:00 a.m. he's in the weightroom lifting for football. At 7:00 a.m. he's on his way home to shower and get ready for school. Then a long day of school begins, and seven and a half hours later, he's on the practice field grueling through non-stop hard work until 5:30 p.m. Back home, he takes an hour to eat dinner with his family followed by another hour in the shower to work out sore muscles. He has an hour of homework and 30 minutes of extra study time. At 9:30 p.m. he's hungry again so he grabs a snack and spends an hour socializing on snapchat with his friends to "chillax" after a hectic day. At 11:00 p.m. his head hits the pillow for much needed sleep to start the routine again the next day.
Gabe Hicks knows that being a student athlete is much more than just going to class and getting homework done and then practicing or playing a sport after school.
Student athletes learn invaluable life skills from managing their many daily responsibilities, and obtaining experience at working hard to succeed at their commitments and learning time management. These intangible skills will help them to be more prepared for college and the future – setting them up for a lifetime of success.
Hicks has been a three year varsity football player, and has been playing football since he was 6. One of the most important lessons he has learned from being a student athlete is time management.
"I know a lot of my friends don't do as much as I do and have a lot of extra time and are playing a ton of video games or are going and hanging out with people nonstop. But I witness my parents only getting to hang out with their friends every once in a while on the weekend, and only getting to do their own thing like only 30 minutes tops most days, except on the weekends. So I think that me learning how to manage my time and be efficient and just grind through a day will hopefully prepare me for when I'm in the same position as my parents, and that becomes the average day reality for most adults and hopefully I'll already be a bit used to that by then and be able to tackle it better than other people," said Hicks.
Ron Corradini, who has worked for 18 years as a Kings High School Assistant Principal and been a Kings Football Coach for 25 years, attributes time management as the key to helping student athletes succeed on and off the field.
"Being a student athlete really teaches you how to manage your time, because when you're a student athlete you only have so much time in the day. You have practice, you have commitments to the team, and you have to manage your time in order for you to be able to do what you need when it comes to academics, when it comes to family time, and when it comes to sports," said Corradini.
By being a dedicated scholar and athlete, student athletes learn what it means to work hard and stay committed to their goals on and off the field.
"Especially senior year as a captain, I'm always trying to set an example on the field and at school for every other player," Hicks said. "I just had to make sure I started the school day off strong, then the middle was a little bit easier for me, and then to round the school day off I had my two hardest classes, so really I had to be locked in the entire day every day. At practice I always go 110% because that's how I've always been in sports and need to set a good example for the sophomores and juniors. "
In his ninth year working with the Athletic Department – four as an Assistant Athletic Director and in his fifth year as the High School Athletic Director – Tyler Miller understands the values a dedicated student athlete attains. He too believes time management and commitment are important in balancing responsibilities and achieving future success.
"All the things that you're balancing with the homework, the personal life, home life, and you're commitment to your team, it's a lot of stressful stuff that you have to deal with," said Miller. "That balance is going to carry over for the rest of your life."
With dedicating themselves to commitments and fighting through tough tasks on a daily basis, student athletes will know how to take on any problems in the future.
"I think that being an athlete or involved in an extracurricular activity helps you grow as a person to take on tasks that may be tough or may be easy but you know how to work through something," said Corradini. "You know how to do the behind the scenes and down and dirty work in order to get to the goal you want to accomplish."
Experiences of working with your teammates helps student athletes understand the importance of the group or team over themselves, which will be vital when they take on a job.
"You learn how to work with teammates, and you're going to have to work with coworkers. You're not always going to like everybody that you work with or see eye to eye," said Miller. "But you got to find a way and say 'Hey, we're all on the same team, we got a common goal, and we need to come together to try to achieve it.' And a lot of those same skills learned carry over into the business world or whatever you decide to do."
Student athletes truly gain and hone in on intangible skills that will help them succeed and go far in their professional careers.
"I've learned that hard work really pays off," said Hicks. "In sports you have coaches but in the real world you have a boss, and they respect people who work really hard, show up each day, and are always putting in work."
According to a 2016 study on "Understanding Life Outcomes of Former NCAA Student-Athletes" done by the National Collegiate Athletic Association – NCAA – former
Gabe Hicks makes a crushing tackle
collegiate athletes are leading other college graduates in four out of the five elements of well being, and are just as likely to thrive financially as their non-student-athlete peers.
"Former student-athletes who received a bachelor's degree between 1970 and 2014 are leading other college graduates in four out of five elements of well-being that Gallup studied. These former student athletes are more likely than non-student-athletes to be thriving in purpose, social, community and physical well-being," said the NCAA's study. "Former student-athletes also reported actively engaging in their campus communities during college."
Former student athletes are also just as likely to thrive financially as their non student athlete peers. The NCAA study's statistics prove that student athletes excel in life. "Nearly two in three NCAA alumni (65%) surveyed for the 2014 study are employed full time for an employer, and another 6% are working full time for themselves. An additional 11% of former student-athletes are currently employed part time."

Man must rise above the Earth — to the top of the atmosphere and beyond — for only thus will he fully understand the world in which he lives.
— Socrates
By day, or on a cloudless night, a pilot may drink the wine of the gods, but it has an earthly taste; he's a god of the earth, like one of the Grecian deities who lives on worldly mountains and descended for intercourse with men. But at night, over a stratus layer, all sense of the planet may disappear. You know that down below, beneath that heavenly blanket is the earth, factual and hard. But it's an intellectual knowledge; it's a knowledge tucked away in the mind; not a feeling that penetrates the body. And if at times you renounce experience and mind's heavy logic, it seems that the world has rushed along on its orbit, leaving you alone flying above a forgotten cloud bank, somewhere in the solitude of interstellar space.
— Charles A. Lindbergh, The Spirit of St. Louis, 1953.

Adjusted EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization)
Adjusted EBITDA is the result before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (including income from other operational investments) adjusted for effects that do not relate to the period, recur irregularly or that are atypical for business operation, and for net income from fair value adjustments to investment properties. These non-recurring items include the development of new fields of business and business processes, acquisition projects, expenses for refinancing and equity increases (where not treated as capital procurement costs), IPO preparation costs and expenses for pre-retirement part-time work arrangements and severance payments.
Adjusted EBITDA Rental
The adjusted EBITDA Rental is calculated by subtracting the operating expenses of the Rental segment and the expenses for maintenance in the Rental segment from the Group's rental income.
Adjusted EBITDA Value-add Business
The adjusted EBITDA Value-add Business (formerly adjusted EBITDA Extension) is calculated by deducting operating expenses from the segment's income. Note: The name of this segment was changed without any content-related changes to the segment definition.
Adjusted EBITDA Operations
The adjusted EBITDA Operations is calculated by subtracting the adjusted EBITDA Sales from the adjusted EBITDA of the Group.
Adjusted EBITDA Sales
The adjusted EBITDA Sales is calculated by subtracting all operating expenses (excl. overheads) incurred in connection with sales activities from the profit on the disposal of properties generated by the Group and by adjusting the profit on the disposal of properties to reflect certain reclassification and time effects.
Cash-generating Unit (CGU)
The cash-generating unit refers, in connection with the impairment testing of goodwill, to the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows and outflows independently of the use of other assets or other cash-generating units (CGUs).
Requirements specified in loan agreements or bond conditions containing future obligations of the borrower or the bond obligor to meet specific requirements or to refrain from undertaking certain activities.
CSI (Customer Satisfaction Index)
The CSI is determined at regular intervals by means of systematic customer surveys and reflects how our services are perceived and accepted by our customers. The CSI is determined on the basis of points given by the customers for our properties and their neighborhood, customer service and commercial and technical support as well as maintenance and modernization management.
EPRA (European Public Real Estate Association)
The European Public Real Estate Association (EPRA) is a non-profit organization that has its registered headquarters in Brussels and represents the interests of listed European real estate companies. Its mission is to raise awareness of European listed real estate companies as a potential investment destination that offers an alternative to conventional investments. EPRA is a registered trademark of the European Public Real Estate Association.
EPRA Key Figures
For information on the EPRA key figures, we refer to the chapter on segment reporting according to EPRA.
EPRA NAV/Adjusted NAV
The presentation of the NAV based on the EPRA definition aims to show the net asset value in a long-term business model. The equity attributable to Vonovia's shareholders is adjusted to reflect deferred taxes on investment properties/assets held for sale, the fair value of derivative financial instruments and the deferred taxes on derivative financial instruments. In order to boost transparency, an adjusted NAV, which involves eliminating goodwill in full, is also reported.
Valuation pursuant to IAS 40 in conjunction with IFRS 13. The estimated value of an asset. The fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm's length transaction.
Fair Value Step-up
Fair value step-up is the difference between the income from selling a unit and its current fair value in relation to its fair value. It shows the percentage increase in value for the company on the sale of a unit before further costs of sale.
FFO (Funds From Operations)
FFO reflects the recurring earnings from the operating business. In addition to adjusted EBITDA, FFO allow for recurring cash-effective net interest expenses from non-derivative financial instruments as well as income taxes. This key figure is not determined on the basis of any specific international reporting standard but is to be regarded as a supplement to other performance indicators determined in accordance with IFRS.
FFO 1/FFO 2/AFFO
Vonovia differentiates between
FFO 1: The profit or loss for the period to reflect the adjusted profit or loss from sales; period adjustments from assets held for sale; specific effects that do not relate to the period, are non-recurring or do not relate to the objective of the company; the net income from fair value adjustments of investment properties; depreciation and amortization; deferred and prior-year current taxes (tax expenses/income); transaction costs; prepayment penalties and commitment interest; valuation effects on financial instruments; the unwinding of discounting for provisions, particularly provisions for pensions, and other prior-year interest expenses and income that are not of a long-term nature.
In order to calculate FFO 2, the adjusted EBITDA Sales is added to FFO 1 for the periods in question and adjusted to reflect the FFO taxes attributable to sales.
AFFO refers to capex-adjusted FFO 1 in which FFO 1 is adjusted for capitalized maintenance.
LTV Ratio (Loan-to-Value Ratio)
The LTV ratio shows the extent to which financial liabilities are covered. It shows the ratio of non-derivative financial liabilities pursuant to IFRS, less foreign exchange rate effects, cash and cash equivalents, receivables from disposals, plus purchase prices for outstanding acquisitions, to the total fair values of the real estate portfolio, plus the fair values of outstanding acquisitions and investments in other real estate companies.
Maintenance covers the measures that are necessary to ensure that the property can continue to be used as intended over its useful life and that eliminate structural and other defects caused by wear and tear, age and weathering effects.
Modernization Measures
Modernization measures are long-term and sustainable value-enhancing investments in housing and building stocks. Energy-efficient refurbishments generally involve improvements to the building shell and communal areas as well as the heat and electricity supply systems. Typical examples are the installation of heating systems, the renovation of balconies and the retrofitting of prefabricated balconies as well as the implementation of energy-saving projects, such as the installation of double-glazed windows and heat insulation, e. g., facade insulation, insulation of the top story ceilings and basement ceilings. In addition to modernization of the apartment electrics, the refurbishment work upgrades the apartments, typically through the installation of modern and/or accessible bathrooms, the installation of new doors and the laying of high-quality and non-slip flooring. Where required, the floor plans are altered to meet changed housing needs.
Monthly In-place Rent
The monthly in-place rent is measured in euro per square meter and is the current gross rental income per month for rented units as agreed in the corresponding rent agreements at the end of the relevant month before deduction of non-transferable ancillary costs divided by the living area of the rented units. The in-place rent is often referred to as the so-called "Nettokaltmiete" (rent excl. ancilliary costs such as heating etc.). The monthly in-place rent (in €/m2) on a like-for-like basis refers to the monthly in-place rent for the residential portfolio that was already held by Vonovia 12 months previously, i. e., portfolio changes during this period are not included in the calculation of the in-place rent on a like-for-like basis. If we also include the increase in rent due to new construction measures and measures to add extra stories, then we arrive at the organic increase in rent.
Privatize portfolio
In the "Privatize" portfolio, our focus is on generating additional added value by privatizing owner-occupied apartments and single-family houses at a premium compared with their fair value.
Classification of debtors or securities with regard to their creditworthiness or credit quality according to credit ratings. The classification is generally performed by rating agencies.
Rental income refers to the current gross income for rented units as agreed in the corresponding rent agreements before the deduction of non-transferable ancillary costs.
Sell portfolio
In the "Sell" portfolio, our focus is on selling properties in locations that offer below-average development potential in the medium to long term to private and institutional investors. Limited potential is defined, in particular, by below-average property condition combined with a location that is of similarly below-average quality. It contains locations and properties that were identified in the latest extensive review of the overall portfolio as not being absolutely essential for further strategic development.
The vacancy rate is the number of empty units as a percentage of the total units owned by the company. The vacant units are counted at the end of each month.

History of Mathematics Education in Brazil: an overview of secondary education
Maria Laura Magalhães Gomes
Antonio Vicente Marafioti Garnica
The field of the history of mathematics education, inscribed in the field of research on mathematics education in Brazil, has been developed as a result of the work of many groups of researchers, dedicated to varied themes under the light of various theoretical and methodological approaches. While it is impossible to describe in detail such studies in a single article, the objective of this text is to offer an overview of research results on a specific topic – mathematics in secondary education and training of teachers to teach at this level, over the years.
The current situation of the country regarding education in general is related to the past and different Brazilian political periods: Colony, Empire and Republic. We will succinctly examine the beginnings of Brazilian basic school education before the Republic, seeking to highlight characteristics of secondary school studies, especially regarding the teaching of mathematics. Then, we will focus on the same themes during the period after the establishment of the Republican regime. Finally, we will discuss the historical trajectory of the training mathematics teachers who work on secondary education in the country.

Higher-Ed Quality & Affordability
Too many colleges and universities serve as gatekeepers to opportunity, admitting and graduating abysmally small numbers of Black and Latino students, and students from low-income families—perpetuating gaps in opportunity, earning potential and career advancement. We support policies that:
challenge state and college leaders to eliminate structurally racist and systemically inequitable admission policies, such as legacy preference and binding early decision, which make college admissions less fair and erode public trust in higher education.
drive down the cost of earning a postsecondary credential and that reduce or eliminate student loan burdens, whether they be increasing Pell Grants or reforming public higher education funding.
leverage data and student services to ensure that all students are getting the holistic support they need to graduate on-time. We also believe that institutions of higher education should be held accountable for a failure to increase success in college.
expand pathways between K-12 public education and career/workforce development programs, both during high school and after graduation, to ensure students have access to high quality dual enrollment coursework and that credits earned in high school transfer to all public institutions within a state and in neighboring states.

The Kenan Institute for Ethics kicks off its 2018 discussion series, "The Ethics of Now," with a dialogue between renowned contemporary novelist Marlon James and Duke professor of history Adriane Lentz-Smith.
**This talk is free and open to the public.
Marlon James's novel A Brief History of Seven Killings received the 2015 Man Booker Prize, making him the first Jamaican author to win the U.K.'s most prestigious literary award. The novel also received the 2015 American Book Award, was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award, was a New York Times Notable Book, and was named a "best book of the year" by the Chicago Tribune, Washington Post, Boston Globe, Newsweek, Time and numerous other publications.
Marlon James is also the author of The Book of Night Women, a finalist for the 2010 National Book Critics Circle Award in fiction and an NAACP Image Award. His first novel, John Crow's Devil, was a finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize for first fiction and the Commonwealth Writers' Prize, as well as a New York Times Editors' Choice. In 2018, James received an American Academy of Arts and Letters Award in Literature.
"With powerful writerly vision and genius for creating voices that speak to the painful intensity of human experience, James crafts worlds that illuminate the brutal beauty of past and present," says Lentz-Smith.
Marlon James was born in Kingston, Jamaica, in 1970. He graduated from the University of the West Indies in 1991 with a degree in language and literature, and from Wilkes University in Pennsylvania in 2006 with an MA in creative writing. Since 2007, he has been teaching English and creative writing at Macalester College; he divides his time between Minnesota and New York.
In his presentations, James addresses topics related to writing and the writing process, as well as issues pertaining to the history of the Caribbean, race and gender in the U.S. and U.K., and youth subcultures as expressed in literature and music such as hip-hop and reggae.
His book Black Leopard, Red Wolf, the first novel in his fantasy Dark Star Trilogy series, will be published in February 2019.

Four Into Three: Danish Companies Invest In Yamaha RIVAGE PM7
Dansk Lyd og Lys staff Thor Lorenzen, Kristian Kühnel, Jørgen Brosbøl and Søren Jensen with the RIVAGE PM7 system
With the summer festival season just round the corner, bringing live productions from small to huge out into the open air, sales of Yamaha's new RIVAGE PM7 digital mixing system have made a strong start throughout Europe. In Denmark three companies have already invested in four RIVAGE PM7 systems, delivering all the benefits of Yamaha's very latest audio technology to their clients.
The first Danish company to take delivery of RIVAGE PM7 was Dansk Lyd og Lys A/S (Danish Sound and Light) in Odense, a company with 45 years at the heart of the country's music and entertainment market. As one of Denmark's foremost technical production companies, the company provides sales, dry hire and full productions to high profile national / international performers and corporate clients.
Yamaha RIVAGE PM7 fits the company's mission to go beyond its customer's expectations, delivering the facilities of the flagship RIVAGE PM10 system in a relatively compact, highly portable system.
"We have been using Yamaha digital mixers since the LS9 and M7CL, through to the CL and QL series," says Dansk Lyd og Lys chief operating officer and partner Kristian Kühnel. "We have been doing a lot of opera, theatre, symphonic music and musicals in recent last years and we look forward to integrating the RIVAGE PM7 into the heart of these productions."
Three more RIVAGE PM7 systems are due for delivery in April - two to Unico Gruppen and another to PD Productions.
Vejen-based Unico Gruppen's main business is rental and dry hire, as well as designing and installing fixed installations. "Our rental department specialises in audio, but we also supply and manage complete productions," says the company's Michael Henriksen. "We do not want to be the biggest but, with our motto 'The best - on time - for the satisfied customer', we believe two RIVAGE PM7 systems will make a big difference to our clients."
Established in 1998, Copenhagen-based PD Productions specialises in complete production packages, with a primary focus on the corporate market. In addition, it has a growing business in selling solutions for concert halls, educational facilities and other public venues, as well as the private sector.
"For more than 10 years, we have chosen to use Yamaha's digital mixing desks because of their ease of use, sound quality and stability," says company managing director Michael Frederiksen. "For us it was a very easy decision to invest in the RIVAGE PM7 with Rio3224-D2 I/O units. It fits perfectly into our existing stock of Yamaha CL and QL mixing consoles, while offering the extra technical facilities that make the RIVAGE family such an attractive proposition."

Thousands of anti-government protesters inspired by the Tunisian revolution clashed with riot police in the centre of Cairo today demanding the overthrow of president Hosni Mubarak.
Police responded with water cannon and attacked crowds with batons and tear gas to clear crowds demanding an end to the country's grinding poverty.
The prostest, the largest Egypt has seen for years, began peacefully, with police showing unusual restraint in what appeared to be a concerted government effort not to provoke a Tunisia-like mass revolt.
As the crowds in central Cairo's main Tahrir square continued to build, however, security personnel changed tactics and the protest turned violent.
Demonstrators attacked the police water canon truck, opening the driver's door and ordering the man out of the vehicle.
Some hurled rocks and dragged metal barricades. Officers beat back protesters with batons as they tried to break cordons to join the main group of demonstrators downtown.
To the north, in the Mediterranean port city of Alexandria, thousands of protesters also marched in what was dubbed a 'Day of Rage' against Mr Mubarak and lack of political freedoms under his rule.
In another parallel with the Tunisia protests, the calls for rallies went out on Facebook and Twitter, with 90,000 saying they would attend.
The protests coincided with a national holiday honouring Egypt's much-feared police.
Mothers carrying babies marched and chanted, 'Revolution until Victory!' while young men parked their cars on the main street and waved signs.
The noisy crowd was joined by cars driving alongside and honking their horns. People cried 'Long Live a Free Tunisia,' and waving Tunisian and Egyptian flags while police initially stood on the crowd's periphery.
The rallies came against a backdrop of growing anger in Egypt over widespread poverty and unemployment, as well as questions about whether Mr Mubarak will run again in presidential elections later this year or perhaps position his son to run.
The first ramifications of the Tunisia uprising surfaced last week in Egypt when several people set themselves on fire outside parliament and the prime minister's office.
Their actions sought to copy a young Tunisian vegetable seller whose self-immolation helped spark the protests that forced Tunisia's authoritarian president to flee the country.
Nearly half of Egypt's 80 million people live under or just above the poverty line set by the United Nations at 2 dollars a day.
Poor quality education, health care and high unemployment have left large numbers deprived of basic needs.
Soon after the removal on January 14 of Tunisia's president Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, all eyes focused on Egypt, with observers wondering if the dramatic events in the North African nation could spur unrest against another entrenched Arab regime.
Meanwhile, in Lebanon, a prime minster backed by pro-Iranian Hezbollah was appointed sparking angry street protests and fears the move would plunge the country into a new crisis.
But thousands of demonstrators took to the streets of major cities on what they also called a 'day of rage', accusing Hebzbollah of engineering the collapse of the previous unity government of outgoing Premier Saad Hariri.
It was Hezbollah that was behind the kidnap of Western hostages, including Terry Waite and John McCarthy in the 1980s, as well as an attack on US marines in Beirut that killed 241, and their control over the government for the first time will sound alarm bells in Washington and Israel and raise concerns in moderate Arab states.
The vote caps the Shia organisation's steady rise over the past few decades from a resistance group fighting Israel to Lebanon's most powerful military and political force.The shift in the balance of power drew warnings from the U.S. that its support for Lebanon could be in jeopardy, demonstrating the risks of international isolation if Hezbollah pushes too far.
Many fear Lebanon's political crisis could re-ignite sectarian fighting similar to Shiite-Sunni street clashes that killed 81 people in Beirut in 2008. Hezbollah's rise also looked likely to also raise tensions with Israel, which borders Lebanon to the south.
Hezbollah and Israel fought a short but devastating war in 2006.Hezbollah had forced the collapse of the government of Mr Hariri after a bitter row over a UN tribunal investigating the 2005 murder of his father Rafik.
Mr Hariri had refused to renounce the UN inquiry which is said to implicate senior Hezbollah figures in the murder. Hezbollah says the investigation - and its conclusions - are politically motivated.
Despite opposition from the Hariri camp, Mr Mikati is seen as a relatively neutral choice who enjoys good relations with both Syrian President Bashar Assad and Mr Hariri, whose bloc has insisted it will not join a government led by a Hezbollah-backed candidate, which could mean months of political deadlock ahead in Lebanon.
The biggest protest over the appointment took place in the northern city of Tripoli where medical sources said 20 people were treated for injuries and protesters set fire to a satellite truck used by the Arab television channel Al Jazeera.
Mr Hariri appealed for calm, saying he rejected demonstrations of violence. 'You are angry but you are responsible people,' he said.
'Sunni blood is boiling' chanted protesters in Tripoli, urging Mr Mikati, a Sunni Muslim, to withdraw his nomination and waving flags of Mr Hariri's Future Movement which says it will not serve in any government dominated by the militant Shi'ite group.

William H. Burke III of Hatfield placed on probation, fined $10,000 for racketeering conspiracy
By DAN CROWLEY
Last modified: Thursday, November 13, 2014
BOSTON — Former deputy probation commissioner William H. Burke III of Hatfield avoided prison time Thursday when U.S. District Judge William G. Young placed him on probation for a year and fined him $10,000 for his involvement in a decade-long political patronage hiring scheme in the state's Probation Department.
In addition, Young sentenced former probation commissioner John "Jack" O'Brien to 18 months with a $25,000 fine and a year of supervised release, and former deputy probation commissioner Elizabeth Tavares to a 90-day sentence and $10,000 fine with a year of supervised release.
O'Brien, Tavares and Burke were convicted in July of racketeering conspiracy charges after a high-profile, 12-week trial that exposed a rigged hiring system in the Probation Department resulting in favorable treatment from legislators in exchange for jobs for their friends and relatives, in many cases at the expense of more-qualified job applicants.
O'Brien and Tavares were also convicted on mail fraud charges in connection with the scheme that prosecutors say occurred between 2000 to 2010.
"These sentences are fair and just," Young said in court. "One of the problems here is that for far too long, we all have tolerated a culture of political patronage in the hiring of judicial staff. The fact that we have tolerated the political patronage for so long is a form of sophistry (and) hypocrisy."
He said every judge in Massachusetts must stand "ashamed and appalled" at the extent of the corruption that has taken place in the state's court system.
While Young said that O'Brien was the "organizing leader of this massive corrupt scheme" in the Probation Department's hiring system, he also said O'Brien "didn't create political patronage."
"What we have here, is fundamentally decent people utterly without a moral compass, at sea ... awash in political patronage," he said after sentencing the three defendants.
In impassioned remarks, Young also stressed the significance of the trial, commending U.S. Attorney Carmen Ortiz for prosecuting a case he said has helped put an end to patronage hiring in the judiciary by exposing the corruption that eventually spawned state reforms.
"It's over, it's finished, it's done," Young said sternly.
Tavares emotional
While Burke and O'Brien chose not to address Young before their sentencing, Tavares delivered an emotional plea for leniency before the judge, who could have sentenced her and Burke to up to 46 months in prison and O'Brien to up to nearly six years. Attorneys for all three defendants had requested probation and said they will appeal the jury's verdicts.
Prosecutors had asked for O'Brien to be sentenced to 70 months and Burke and Tavares 46 months each. Assistant U.S. Attorney Fred M. Wyshak Jr. said the rigged hiring system not only "demoralized" qualified people who sought jobs in the Probation Department, but also those who worked within the department and were ensnared in the scheme.
"They were ashamed and embarrassed by what they had to do," Wyshak said.
He said O'Brien had abandoned his obligation to serve the public and instead began to serve the political interests of his friends and allies, undermining the public's confidence in government.
"This is a 10-year-long conspiracy, not a single episode," Wyshak said, still referring to O'Brien. "He had an option to say 'No'.
Speaking through tears. Tavares talked about having to support her ailing 89-year-old mother and 91-year-old father, who live with her, as well as her 14-year-old daughter, and the agony the case has caused in all their lives.
"No one has more remorse than I," Tavares said. "They will be helpless if I am sent to prison."
She also said she wished she had done more to stop the political patronage system that permeated the judicial system.
"I stand before you today proclaiming that I wish that I had had the courage to change it," Tavares said. "I bear responsibility for my family's pain, I bear responsibility for not being brave."
Letters of support
Earlier this week, Burke's attorney, John A. Amabile of Brockton, filed 76 pages of support letters for Burke. They were written by law enforcement officials, former judges, court staff, family and friends in western Massachusetts where Burke, 71, rose through the ranks of Northampton District Court and became a former supervisor of district court probation offices. He served as a deputy commissioner in the Probation Department from 1999 until his retirement in 2009.
"He was the Jack O'Brien out west," U.S. Assistant Attorney Robert Fisher told Young in court while seeking a 46-month sentence on the racketeering conspiracy charge. "This is someone who knew the ins and outs of what was going on."
Amabile asked Young to take into account Burke's record in public service, his many letters of support, and his loss of a state pension when others involved in the Probation Department's sham hiring process committed "much more egregious" acts but have gone unpunished.
"This is an individual who has led an exemplary life," Amabile told the judge. "He spent his entire life as a dedicated public servant. He was an incredible worker. He grew up on a farm. He's worked hard his entire life."
"Sending this 71-year-old man to prison is unconscionable under the circumstances of this case," he said, adding that Burke has potential employment at a potato farm.
Burke became the second Hatfield man in a little over a year to be sentenced in connection with the public corruption probe in the Probation Department. In October 2013, Christopher J. Hoffman, a former acting chief probation officer in Hampshire Superior Court, was convicted on obstruction of justice charges related to questioning by federal agents about his employment and relationship with Burke. Hoffman, who also was placed on probation and fined, ultimately told the FBI that Burke was responsible for all of the jobs he held and the promotions he received in the probation department.
While Burke remained silent in court, he did utter that he was "very happy" with the outcome of his sentencing as he walked briskly along the sidewalk and into a vehicle while surrounded by news reporters. Moments earlier, he had left the courtroom and was greeted with emotional embraces from family and friends, including former Northampton District Court judge and Northwestern district attorney W. Michael Ryan, a lifelong friend.
"I'm extremely relieved," Ryan said, as Burke embraced his daughter Mindy Burke, a Probation Department manager. "Judge Young, I think, got it right. He saw it for what it was."
"He's exactly right that the era of political patronage is over," Ryan said.
Amabile, Burke's attorney, also praised Young for a sentence that he said was "just" given the circumstances. "It took tremendous courage for Judge Young to impose what is a fair sentence," Amabile added.

New NukeLauncher for Pinball Arcade - NukePA is the only reliable Pinball Arcade command line launcher.
Make sure you have quotes around the [TABLEFILE] variable, see below this is how your PinballX.ini should look.
I have put some work into making it really easy to setup your tables. Below are sets of XML files you can download and save into your C:\PinballX\Databases\Pinball Arcade\Pinball Arcade.xml location and matching "PinballTables = " values you can copy and paste directly into your NukePA.ini file. Also if you are using the NukePA Media Pack everything matches up. Note to anyone that is using the NukePA Media Pack you should rename all the images for "Theater of Magic" to "Theatre of Magic"
Some web browsers want to open XML files instead of downloading them, so to get around that just right click on the link and select "Save As" or "Save Target as" then pick the folder "C:\PinballX\Databases\Pinball Arcade\" and then rename the file "Pinball Arcade.XML"
Full documentation is on the NukeLauncher Site.
Donation made for the good work on the Pinball FX2 launcher.
I don't really use TPA myself.
The PinballX FTP has a pretty extensive list of wheel images for TPA.
TPA does not have good cabinet support - there is no dedicated DMD or backglass. I've tried using PinballX's backglass player to play a video loop while a table is in play, but it did not work for me. The BG screen was black while in play. Yes, I do have the XML set to not hide the backglass, so it is not a PinballX issue. I figure this can be overcome somehow, but I didn't try very hard myself.
For the DMD, here is where the mirroring that you were working on for P2k cabs in the Pinball FX2 launcher might come in handy. You could capture that part of the screen and have the user define the location for the playback window. This is similar to what I did for SlamIt Pinball: Big Score.
I only have one table installed at the moment. For media, I just wound up taking the FarSight demo video for my table and rotating it and trimming for the correct aspect ratio in Avidemux. Not great. Kind of funky actually as the demo is for a desktop orientation. The lighting represents what is state of the art for PS4, and not what you currently get with Steam. But it's cheap and easy. Hopefully, someone will step up and do some real captures in portrait mode.
Thanks for the info and link however, we wont need that. PinballX is all ready taking care of that for us.
In my Alpha 1.0 version my back glass is already working great.
I should have it ready for beta testing in the next 10 days. I am still working out a few bugs, Like table detection and table ordering. You can help out by sending me the version number you are using and a list of your table names?
Can't wait to try the beta Jeff your FX2 was outstanding is today the big day?
All most ready! I'm hoping to get more time on it this weekend.
Not yet, I have gotten 0 response on my two questions and that is slowing things down a bit because, I have no idea what other peoples setups are like.
1. Can you all post the version number you are using and your table counts. This will help me know what my launcher will need to deal with as far as different configurations.
2. What are you guys planning on using for media. Most table logos and Backglass's can be obtained from VP tables or the FTP section here on PinballX, but play-field screenshots/videos and DMD videos for TPA version don't exist that I know of.
2. As far as the media I am not too concerned. I can find the media or create it myself. I am really more interested in the launcher to integrate with Hyperpin like I have done with PBFX2.
Note: That being said the media you setup for PBFX2 was spot on!!
Ditto to what newandy said as far as config. Latest steam version, all season passes so every table so far.
For media, will just copy from VP version for now - including "real DMDs" attract modes. For table screenshots/videos I plan to just use any existing VP versions for now.
Would be happy to help test things out! Thanks.
I can use what pinballx supplies for art too, unless you put together a package, then I'll go with that.
I'll be purchasing every table at once when you release the launcher, and I'll be using the latest version of TPA. Please make it soon my family is ready to choke me for not having a good solution for tpa, I don't know what their problem is, lol I'm guessing the sleepless nights for configuring our minipin I built. More donation coming soon... Great work on the fx2 nuke!!!
Great development! Will definitely support your tool when working . Still playing around with FX2 and looking forward to start with Pinball Arcade.
I'm really hoping for it to be ready soon, I have a ton of family wanting to play it at thanksgiving... Is there anything I can do to help ???
Time299, do you have any updates?
I am launching in the next few days. I'm just finalizing the last few features like "block key" for you (Chosen_s) and a LaunchBefore and LaunchAfter feature for people wanting to use LEDWiz. BTW: Both of those features will be added to the next release of the PinballFX2 NukeLauncher as well.
Please be patient with me, My Wife has terminal brain cancer (glioblastoma astrocytoma Grade 3-4) and she is already past the 24 months that she was expected to live. Some days I plain on working on this stuff, (which I love to do) but she needs me more, so I choose her over pinball stuff. I only mention this so you guy know why I may be missing from the forums for a whole week at a time or miss a deadline I set for finishing a project like this one. We have many medical appointment / scans / chemo / blood tests every week for the rest of her life, it's quite a juggling act.
It's coming very soon and I hope it breaths new life into Pinball Arcade for all of you (I know I love it 10X more now that I have it setup in PinballX) and maybe we can get the guys over at Farsight Studios thinking more like the guys over at Zen Studios and give us DMD/Cabinet support.
Thanks for sharing this. No problem at all. All the best for your wife and yourself.
Wow man! You're a trooper, my best goes to you and your wife, thank you for letting us know. Dude take your time, I certainly agree, your wife is way more important than our fun and games. Looking forward to the release. Thank you for everything!
Family comes first. Hang in there.
All my best to you and your wife. As stated prior, family comes first!
My best to you and your wife! You're an awesome dude and we appreciate your hard work.
Thanks for all of your hard work. Nukelauncher is working great for me with PBFX2, I'm excited to see what it does for TPA too. Everyone is right though, family is first...take care.
Thanks for all of the support, It's almost ready.
Had some buddies over tonight for a few beers and minipin madness. The consensus was that pinball arcade plays better than the free programs. They stayed in pinball arcade quite a bit longer once they had decided that fp and vp were either too fast or not bug free, or not as polished. So ... Cheers to the nukelauncher version for pinball arcade releasing soon!
