Hendon School is a mixed secondary school in Golders Rise, Hendon, with academy status since November 2011 (previously a comprehensive) in the London Borough of Barnet. It specialises in languages, offering lessons  amongst others to its students.

Overview
Hendon School is a mixed comprehensive school with 1,296 pupils on roll, including approximately 240 sixth form students. The school is situated just off the A502 and North Circular Road in London. It serves an area that is generally more affluent than average but has some pockets of deprivation, as interpreted in comparison to national averages according to Ofsted.

The student population is culturally diverse, multi-faith and multi-lingual, with more than half of students speaking languages other than English as their first language. The proportion of students eligible for free school meals is well above the national average. The school specialises in languages, and has specialist educational facilities for deaf students and for autistic students. The school has been over-subscribed for the past four years and was designated an Outstanding school by Ofsted in November 2011.
The school was previously a "failing school", being placed in Special Measures by Ofsted in 2005, but subsequently deemed Satisfactory.

History

Foundation
Hendon School now occupies the site where the 16th-century mapmaker John Norden lived, and only a pond survives from the park of Greenhill.

The County School, Hendon opened as a fee-paying school of 350 pupils in September 1914, just a month after the outbreak of the First World War. By 1927, the field at the back of the school was levelled and trees planted, and in 1929–1930 the building of the gymnasium was started. In 1931, the intake of pupils rose from a two form entry to a three form entry, and by 1932–1933 the extension on the north side of the original school building was finished to enable accommodation of 480 pupils. In 1936 former pupil Harold Whitlock planted an oak tree sapling in front of the entrance to the gymnasium which he had received, along with his gold medal for the  walk, from Adolf Hitler at the Berlin Olympic Games.

Hendon County Grammar School
By 1955 the school had 620 pupils and 32 staff, resulting in a necessary extension on the east side of the main building, which included a new Hall, Dining Hall and Kitchens. This was officially opened in 1961. In the late 1960s, when plans for the reorganisation of secondary education were passed by Parliament, the London Borough of Barnet suggested the amalgamation of Hendon County Grammar School, situated in Golders Rise, with St David's County Secondary School for Boys, in St David's Place, West Hendon. Hendon Grammar School Choir released commercial recordings with Owen Brannigan, with traditional British songs.

Former St David's County Secondary School pre-1971
On 1 October 1929, Barnfield Senior Boys' School opened in Silkstream Road, Burnt Oak, Edgware with 267 boys. In January 1964 it amalgamated with Brent Secondary Modern School on its site in Sturgess Avenue, West Hendon. Brent Modern School, a mixed school, had opened on 7 January 1936 having been formally inaugurated the previous October by Princess Louise, Duchess of Argyll, the daughter of Queen Victoria. In readiness for the joining of the Barnfield and Brent schools, new buildings were erected in St David's Place, and the two adjacent sites became one school named St David's after its location. Originally it was to be named The Grahame-White School after Claude Grahame-White, the famous English aviator who had established Hendon Aerodrome, but permission by his family was declined.

Hendon Senior High School
In 1971, this merger took place. Hendon County Grammar School became Hendon Senior High School, and St David's County Secondary School for Boys was renamed Hendon Junior High School. In 1978, when all the new buildings on the Hendon County site were finished, the whole school became completely integrated on one site and called by its present name Hendon School.

During 1987–88 the school was threatened with closure by the London Borough of Barnet claiming falsely that it was no longer a viable institution, but by 1988–1989 the school had survived the threat and was awarded Grant-maintained status by the Conservative Government. Hendon became a foundation school with the changes to state funding of education which were brought about by the School Standards and Framework Act 1998. Extensions to the new buildings close to the perimeter on the south side of the site took place during the 1990s to provide extra room for the Maths and Music departments.

Hendon School today
The school currently has an eight form intake with approximately 1,300 pupils, 120 teachers and 30 ancillary staff as well as a Saturday School for Languages with 200 pupils and 11 teachers. With an expanding sixth form roll, the school built a new Sixth Form Centre close to the eastern perimeter of the 6-acre site in 2011, which provides classrooms and facilities exclusively for use by the sixth form students. In late 2011, the school completed the expansion of the autism unit and the expansion of internal and external dining facilities within and around the original school building. In November 2011, the school converted to become an academy school, although chose not to change the name of the school. The Ofsted inspection in November 2011 graded the school to be outstanding. The school was previously a "failing school" in Special Measures by Ofsted in 2005 and subsequently deemed Satisfactory.

Academic results
Hendon School has sustained five years of improving results at GCSE, and in 2011 63% of students achieved 5 A*-C grades, which puts the school in 16th place out of 24 schools in Barnet local authority. At A level, the school is in the bottom 15% of Barnet schools, ranking 23rd out of 26 schools for 3 A Levels achieved.

What is a Corporation?
According to the Entrepreneur Small Business Encyclopedia, a corporation is defined as a business operation that declares itself as a separate legal entity guided by a group of officers known as the board of directors. Having a corporate structure is perhaps the most advantageous way of starting a business because a corporation exists as a single entity. Corporations have the rights and responsibilities possessed by individual business owners like: entering into contracts, loaning and borrowing money, hiring employees, owning assets and paying taxes, and it also has the risk of being sued and suing just like an individual.
Throughout history, the concept of corporations have already been in practice. Such is practiced in the case of risky ventures like the exploration of the new world. Prior to the practice of incorporation, when one invests in a certain venture that subsequently fails, the investor faces the possibility of unlimited liability. When potential investors learned to invest fixed sums of money for succeeding ventures, they are guaranteed a portion of the profits when the venture succeeds, and they only face the risk of losing the amount of their initial investment when the venture fails.
The principles of incorporation are the same then as it is in this time. Having a corporation allows you to have investors invest their money into your business allaying the risk of further liabilities. While more and more situations hold a lot of people liable in or current legal system, having a corporation still stands as one of the most steadfast protections we have for such liabilities, and thus the same concept is still being practiced until today.

White Bear Sailing School
420/Laser Race Team
The Club 420 is used throughout the U.S. as a junior trainer and offers youth and adults a wide range of sailing experiences from learning basic sailing skills through advanced racing techniques. Unlike the Optimist, which is generally sailed by one person under 120 pounds, the Club 420 is sailed by a skipper and a crew of one.
The Laser is the single-handed option for sailors who are too big or too old to sail the Optimist. The Laser can be configured with three different sail plans, providing great versatility across a wide range of sizes. Lasers are best suited to sailors 13 years of age or older, over 125 pounds, and focused on racing. Lasers are one of the fastest growing one-design classes in North America and the primary single-handed boat used in youth sailing events.
DURATION: Approximately four or eight weeks
PREREQUISITES: C420 Learn to Race
Our Club 420/Laser Racing Team is designed for sailors between the ages of 12-18 who have completed the Learn to Race C420 class, or other similar course, and are interested in racing and competing at regattas. Emphasis is on having fun in a competitive atmosphere while building racing skills and preparing for regattas. C420 sailors will learn spinnaker handling and trapeze techniques, advanced boat-handling techniques, tactics, and physical fitness while stressing the importance of sportsmanship. Classes will focus on perfecting the processes involved in sailboat racing. The Club 420/Laser Racing team will represent White Bear Lake in TCYS Friday events at Twin Cities lakes as well as ILYA regattas throughout the midwest.
If interested in learning to use spinnaker and trapeze, bring a sailing friend and contact the Waterfront Director.
3 Hour Practices. C420s are only provided during practice times but can be chartered for regattas at a nominal fee. All Laser sailors must provide their own boat for practices and regattas.
Race Team Fee includes coaching support at all 2018 TCYS regattas.
Note: Additional fees apply for use of school C420 for regatta competition. Please talk to your race coach for details.

Many hailed the move as a victory for accountability.
"If police are looking for an African-American suspect, they may miss even if that person is in their database - it may not find that person", she said.
Analysis The American Civil Liberties Union on Tuesday expressed dismay that Amazon Web Services has been urging USA government agencies to use its Rekognition API for state-sponsored facial recognition. A spokesman for the Washington County Sheriff's office told the Times it was not using the technology to surveil citizens en masse but to assist in criminal investigations.
"That is a recipe for authoritarianism and disaster", Cyril said.
"We are aware of those privacy concerns", he said.
"Today, the ACLU and a coalition of civil rights organizations demanded that Amazon stop allowing governments to use Rekognition". "Once powerful surveillance systems like these are built and deployed, the harm will be extremely hard to undo". However, the ACLU notes that Amazon is "marketing Rekognition for government surveillance".
The technology, called Amazon Rekognition, can identify people's faces in digital images and video.
It is believed that YouTube Music will eventually replace Google Play Music , which is to be fazed out by the company. Current YouTube Red (soon to be YouTube Premium ) members will (at least for the time being) pay the current price.
"When we find that AWS services are being abused by a customer, we suspend that customer's right to use our services", Amazon said in an emailed statement.
The company also stressed its technology is used for humane purposes, such as finding abducted children or even a child lost at an amusement park. Customers provide the data for Amazon's tool to search.
Amazon's statement added, "W$3 e require our customers to comply with the law and be responsible when using Amazon Rekognition".
A systems analyst with the sheriff's office wrote he was, "hoping to expand our backend of images to every law enforcement agency in the metro Portland area".
One police department now using Rekognition is Washington County, Oregon, to perform such tasks as recognizing jail booking photos then verifying them against actual video footage or photos of suspects involved in crimes.
The ACLU asked both Washington County and Orlando for records showing that the public had been consulted before the rollout of the technology, but no records were produced. "They have cameras all over the city".
A quote from Orlando police Chief John Mina is featured on Amazon's "customers" page for Rekognition, in which he says the city is "excited to work with Amazon to pilot the latest in public safety software".
The home ministry has asked the state government to provide details of the incident at Tuticorin , an official said. And then, a voice is heard in the background making a shocking statement: "At least one should die".
But while the capabilities of the technology were impressive, the potential downfallswere catastrophic, warned Cyril.
"We already know that facial recognition algorithms discriminate against Black faces, and are being used to violate the human rights of immigrants", said Malkia Cyril, executive director of the Center for Media Justice, in a press release.
Amazon contends that it makes no sense to block emerging technologies exclusively on the fear of how they might be misused in future, pointing out that our "quality of life would be much worse" if we failed to capitalise on the potential benefits.
"You not only increase the speed at which discrimination can take place, but you increase the scale at which discrimination can take place". The cities adopted the technology without prior public discussion, the documents reveal.
"People should be free to walk down the street without being watched by the government", the groups wrote in a letter to Amazon on Tuesday.
In a blogpost detailing their findings, Matt Cagle and Nicole A Ozer of the ACLU responded: "That employee's prediction was correct".
Lava from the volcanic eruption oozed out to the ocean on Saturday , creating something called " laze ", a lava-haze hybrid. Tourism officials maintain that most of Big Island is still safe to visit and remains unaffected by the explosion.
The two-time MVP scored 35 points while playing 34 minutes, with 18 of those points being the result of a ideal 3rd quarter. The Warriors always make their big run in the third quarter, and the Rockets had no answer for it on Sunday night.
On Monday, Trump tweeted that China must maintain its pressure on its neighbor ahead of any potential deal. But Moon suffered a serious setback over the past week as the North abruptly dampened ties with the South.
In the 1960s, it was NY mobster Joe Valachi who peeled back the inner workings of the crime families who employed him. Either way, Trump appears to have accomplished what he wanted from this dust-up.
I didn't feel like that before, but to see him do it is kind of like full circle. "I think it would just be fun to do". FOR a film that really struggled to get into the air, Solo: A Star Wars Story is a fun ride.
He said the deal "merely delayed the inevitable nuclear-weapons capability" that he said Iran was developing, and that the pact put the "world at risk".
Revenue at M&S's food business rose 3.9% to £5.87bn as the company opened more stores but sales at established outlets fell 0.3%. Fashion chain New Look, retailer Mothercare, Carpetright and department store House of Fraser are all shutting stores.

Like most of our customers, we here at Code42 are constantly looking to enhance our efficiencies when it comes to security. As we use more technology in our environment, that means more log sources, more events and potentially more alerts. It also means we have more opportunities to gather information from disparate sources and put together a more complete picture of the events we do investigate.
Case management: As our team has grown, delegating work and tracking who is working on what becomes increasingly important. An orchestration tool can ideally function as that single workspace for assigning, managing and closing tasks.
Metrics: Closely related to the first item on our list, better management of workload can improve visibility into key metrics like SLAs, as well as make it easier to identify bottlenecks and improve efficiency in analyst workflows.
Integration: We're constantly testing and adding new security tools, so it's critically important that an orchestration tool easily integrates with tools we not only are using now but also may add in the future. The less time we have to spend developing integrations, the more time we have for investigating anomalies.
Automation: Of course, automation is the name of the game when it comes to an orchestration tool. Automation allows our team to dream up new ways to streamline data collection and enrichment. Automation also can find connections that we may miss when manually reviewing data.
Value: Analyst time is always in short supply. When a tool does the first four things on this list well, it means our security team can spend less time on low-value work—and more time on important analysis tasks. The more a tool allows us to focus on analysis, the more value it brings to our team.
Step 1 – Automatically locate files: To determine the scope of an event and show us how many endpoints have a suspicious attachment, we can search for a specific MD5 hash using Code42 Forensic File Search.
Step 2 – Restore deleted files: In situations in which the original file has already been deleted, Code42 Backup + Restore allows us to automatically restore that file.
Step 3 – Investigate suspicious files: With all the suspicious files identified (and restored, if necessary), we can now conduct analysis via an orchestration tool—such as running it in a sandbox. Best of all, because we didn't spend hours or days manually locating and restoring files, we can focus all our time on the critical analysis.
This really is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to use cases for security orchestration tools—whether it's leveraging Code42 functionality or any of our many other security tools. As we continue our investigation into security orchestration tools, we'll share more useful integrations and some automation playbook ideas.
Stay tuned for more updates—and as always, happy threat hunting!

Using Copyrighted Music in Videos: Everything You Should Know
In the traditional creative space, copyright law has always had its gray areas. When we consider the online space, where 2.5 quintillion bytes of data are created every day, … well… it's chaos. But regardless of how vast the internet is, it's not so easy to break copyright laws and get away with it. Platforms such as YouTube have programs that scan uploaded content and flag anything in violation. Also, it's unfair to music creators if we use their material outside of the rights we are granted. Just like you, they've put hard work into their creations, and that should be respected.
If you're looking to avoid violating copyright law, the first step is to know what the laws are. In this video by YouTube Creators, Glove and Boots give us a breakdown of some copyright regulations.
As a content creator, here are the types of music audios available for your use.
How to Use Music in Your Videos
There are two methods to using music in your videos. The first is clear and direct: create your own music. If the songs belong to you, then you have the freedom to use them however you like. This isn't always practical, though. Not all content creators have the time or talent to make their own music.
Which leads us to the second option; find music that is authorized to use. This is where we get into murky waters because authorization isn't clear cut. Every copyright owner has the freedom to make their own 'rules'. This means that you shouldn't use the rules of one song to refer to another. Here are the options available.
Use Public Domain Music
Some songs are a part of what is known as the public domain. This means that their rights have either expired, or the creator released them as free for the public. In simple words, they have no copyright. In the US, the Public Domain Information Project (PDIF) provides all the need-to-knows on this topic. It states that any musical work created and published in 1922 or earlier in the US is public domain. Since YouTube is based in the US, this policy is recognized by them. If you confirm that a song is in the public domain, then you are free to use it in your video.
Use Royalty-Free Music
Royalty-free music is the most preferred option for YouTube content creators. It is NOT always free to use, so don't be confused by the tag. Artists who create royalty-free music allow content creators to purchase the right to use their music within some limitations.
Some artists sell a 'one-time-use' right, while others sell a repeat use right. Some artists will require that you only use their music for non-revenue videos. Some artists will give the rights to their music for free in exchange for credit. Royalty-free rights are not one-size-fits-all. You should consider each song carefully before using them.
Royalty-free is recommended because it reduces the legal responsibilities of using copyright work. Artists who make royalty-free music want creators to use their songs. They also make their demands clear to avoid any hassle. Many of them put their songs on platforms such as Epidemic Sound, where you can access and use over 30,000 songs for $15/month. Here are some other top sites to find royalty-free music.

Explore Fair-Use Options
In some cases, you can use copyright music without the owner's permission. However, this is the least advised route to take. Fair use grants creators the use of music work for educational purposes, news reporting, or any other information-based context.
If you completely transform a song, such as sampling or making a parody, it can also be considered fair use. But the copyright owner can still contest your use of their songs, especially if you're making a profit off it (that should be going to them). Using small bits of a song in this context may also be considered fair use rather than using large portions. However, this can also be contested.
For such a complex option, many YouTubers choose to bet on fair-use. In reality, you probably need legal advice to successfully add music to your videos under fair-use. We see a lot of content creators who think their actions fall under fair use, but are actually in violation. Here are the common misconceptions about fair use. YouTube will not fail to penalize your channel if you are caught in violation.
Misconceptions About Fair Use
As long as I credit the artist or copyright owner, I'm within fair use.
No, you're not. Unless an artist clearly states that their song can be used in exchange for credit, you are violating their copyright. What you've primarily done is to upload their work without their knowledge and permission. Even if you include a footnote saying, "All credit goes to XYZ" or "I do not own XYZ." Under fair use, you can only use credit if you've entirely transformed that creative work as a cover or parody. In that case, you can credit the original source of inspiration for your version.
I'm only using it for entertainment. I won't place any ads or make any profit, so that's fair use.
Remember that the grounds for fair use are educative purposes. Anything else can be contested. If the owner of the copyrighted music takes the case to court, this defense will not apply. Unless the artist or copyright owner states that their work can be used for non-profit, it is not fair use.
If I place a disclaimer and make it clear that I don't own this song, then it's fair use.
Just like credit attribution, a disclaimer will not change copyright enforcement. The artist or copyright owner can still contest your use of their work.
If I change some elements in the song, then it becomes fair use.
The fair use law states that you have to completely transform content before it can qualify as fair use. For music, this includes voice, instrumentals, and possibly lyrics. If you can do all of this, then you may be eligible for the fair use cover. But remember that the copyright owner could still contest your use, especially if you're making a profit that should be going to them.
How Sharing Music Could Be Considered Stealing
If you share a lot of things with your audience, then you probably want to share some of your favorite songs with them too. But the way you share could put your channel in violation of copyright laws. If you upload a link to their song on your social media or YouTube page, that's a great way to share. Anyone who clicks on the link would be taken to a platform where they can stream or buy the song. All the impressions and profit from your sharing goes to the artist.
However, if you decide to play a clip of the song (or all of it) in a video, that could be considered as stealing. You've taken away the artist's ability to measure how many people listened, and their ability to monetize those listens. If you place ads on that video, you've also profited off someone else's creative work. In this case, legal action could be taken against you.
How YouTube Finds Copyright Violations
Photo by Kon Karampelas
YouTube relies on its business partners and creators to make revenue. As a result, the issue of copyright violation is one that they've invested time and money into tackling. One reason is that they need creators to keep posting content without the fear of being ripped off. Another is that YouTube could be the target of countless lawsuits from creators whose material are copied (or illegally uploaded) through the platform.
To settle copyright violations, YouTube uses a Content ID system. Nearly all copyright disputes are solved using this system. The original content owners give YouTube audio or video files of their work. These files are converted into a digital 'fingerprint' and added to the system's database. The Content ID bot roams through the YouTube server, comparing fingerprints to every byte of data uploaded. Once a match is found, the original content owner is notified and given options to take action.
The Content ID system works. There are several examples of creators trying to fool the system by speeding up their video, changing voice pitches, adding random elements, and so on. They eventually get caught. The only reason why some channels have not been flagged yet is that the system is not on a lookout for their particular content. If the original creator informs YouTube and adds their content to the system's database, all channels in violation will be caught eventually.
What Happens When You Violate Copyright Laws
Once a copyright violation is identified, the copyright owner is notified. If this violation is found on YouTube, they are given three options to proceed:
Block the video
Monetize the video
Leave it up, and track the data
According to YouTube, most copyright owners choose to monetize the videos. This means that YouTube will place ads on your video, and all revenue earned will go to someone else. Even if you used a 30-second clip of their music in a 30-minute video. Copyright owners have been paid billions of dollars in ad revenue since Content ID was created.
Beyond the copyright owner, YouTube also has to take action. This comes as a strike, showing that you have violated their guidelines. After 3 strikes, your account will be removed. The copyright owner may also choose to bypass YouTube's options and take you to court. None of these options present you with a 'win' situation, so it's better to stay within set limits.
I really, really want to use one particular song in my video. How do I obtain copyright permission?
Some creators often face this dilemma. Maybe the public domain and royalty-free music simply don't cut it. Or a piece of music is essential to the video you're creating. In such scenarios, here's the best course of action to take.
Find the Copyright Owner or Company
Music copyright could belong to the artist, record label, manager, publisher, or a combination of these people. It depends on the agreement made among them before the song was created. If a song was created for a particular movie or event, they could also share copyright ownership. You want to identify who owns the song, so you can reach out to them directly. ASCAP is the largest go-to source for this information. Contact information of the copyright owners is often included in the results.
Contact Them Directly Through Email
Draft a detailed explanation of who you are, how, and why you want to use their music in your video. You should make contact through email as you will have legally-admissible proof of any agreement you eventually make. If issues arise later, a spoken deal won't be recognized in court.
If Given Permission, Fulfill All Obligations and Document
They may give you full permission, ask that you don't monetize the video, ask for a portion of the profit if you do, and so on. The terms provided fully depends on the copyright owner. You should also be prepared to have your request dismissed. Some people or companies are just not interested in granting use rights. Save and backup data from any agreement made for future reference.
Don't Exceed the Granted Rights
If you are given permission, stay within the rights permitted. Don't use the song in more than one video if you are given single-use rights. If they ask that the video is not monetized, don't sneak an ad in. Regardless of your previous agreement, the copyright owner can take you to court if you exceed the rights given. As long as you take their requirements seriously, you should have no problems.
It's possible to find and use great music in your YouTube videos without violating the rules. Yes, you may need to do some additional research to find the best options. But the benefits of your efforts outweigh the consequences of being caught in violation. With the tools and services available to you, using copyright music in videos has never been easier.

Music|The Big, Bad Bass-Baritone
The Big, Bad Bass-Baritone
By STEVE SMITH FEB. 17, 2012

"I THINK everyone on this planet has been wronged at one point or another," Eric Owens said, "or they have the perception that they have been wronged and struggle for retribution or justice or ——" Mr. Owens, a highly regarded young American bass-baritone recently thrust into the spotlight for his gripping performances as Alberich in Wagner's "Ring des Nibelungen" at the Metropolitan Opera, stopped short during a recent interview in the Met's press lounge, considering his next word at length.
"Reparations," he finally said, then laughed gustily. "Or their day in court, or whatever. Even if you've done something that created the situation that something wrong was done to you, we can all identify with struggling with this kind of thing."
If there is a clear villain in the "Ring," Alberich probably fits the role best. Forsaking love in his thirst for dominance by stealing the Rhinemaidens' hoard of gold, the character instigates or facilitates the scheming, duplicity and bloodshed that follow.
Making his first appearances as Alberich in "Das Rheingold" last season, Mr. Owens conveyed the dwarf chieftain's malice with his big, booming voice. He clambered up and slid down the director Robert Lepage's hulking mechanical set with abandon. But what made the performance riveting was his stark evocation of the character's loneliness and pain. Here was an Alberich with whom anyone could sympathize, at least to a point.
Subsequent encounters showed that Mr. Owens had intuited how Alberich's passions would play out over time. In "Siegfried" last October he confronted Bryn Terfel's Wanderer with bilious spite. In "Götterdämmerung," just concluded, Mr. Owens was a withered, petulant specter, barking desperate orders to a resentful son. The performances catapulted Mr. Owens, 41, to new levels of popularity and media recognition, resulting in increased attention for his operatic engagements and for concert performances like the recital he will present at Zankel Hall on Tuesday evening.
Unaffected, and casual in a T-shirt and jeans, he politely declined to say how personal experience might have helped to shape his portrayal of Alberich.
"Maybe 20 years ago I could have related to this more," he said. "But at this point in my life I don't relate to the fact that he doesn't let it go. It's like: You know what? Let it go, man. How much time has passed? You're not getting the ring back."
Speaking with Mr. Owens about his formative experiences you sense that he remembers, fondly and in great detail, everyone who nurtured his artistic aspirations.
Growing up in Philadelphia, he started piano lessons at 6, at his mother's insistence. "Even when financial times got hard, she found a way, through scholarships or whatever, to keep that going as long as possible," he said, "because she thought it was important." (His parents divorced when he was 9.)

Mr. Owens took up the clarinet in junior high school, then switched to oboe, to play a more prominent role. Learning of his passion for opera, fueled by the Met's radio broadcasts, the band director lent him recordings as encouragement.
At the Settlement Music School, Mr. Owens studied with Louis Rosenblatt, the English-horn player in the Philadelphia Orchestra. He also took lessons with Laura Ahlbeck, then an oboist in the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra, who provided standing-room tickets to see productions during the 1980s.
Singing in choir during his senior year of high school, Mr. Owens attracted attention at a festival at Temple University. He entered Temple's college-prep division, then enrolled at the university to study voice, graduating in 1993. He earned his master's degree at the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia, polishing his technique with Armen Boyajian, who remains his teacher, and learned the ropes in the Houston Grand Opera studio.
Embarking on his career, Mr. Owens seemed to be on a fast track. "I had in quick succession in Europe debuts at Covent Garden, the Paris Opera and the Salzburg Festival," he said. "But they seemed to all happen in a vacuum." His breakthrough finally came in 2006, when he created the title role in "Grendel," an opera jointly conceived by the director Julie Taymor and the composer Elliot Goldenthal.
The Los Angeles Opera and the Lincoln Center Festival had commissioned the opera, based on a "Beowulf"-inspired 1971 novel by John Gardner. Evans Mirageas, who was serving as a casting consultant, urged Mr. Owens to audition for Mr. Goldenthal and Ms. Taymor. Mindful of their connection to musical theater and Hollywood, Mr. Owens sang "Some Enchanted Evening," from "South Pacific."
"I don't know if Evan suggested it or Julie did, but it was, 'O.K., sing that song as if you didn't believe a word of it,' " he said. "I think I had just broken up with somebody, so I had that in spades." Called back for a second audition, Mr. Owens sang Mr. Goldenthal's music and discussed the novel in detail, and he won the role.
Like Mr. Lepage's "Ring," Ms. Taymor's production involved a huge, elaborate and unreliable stage mechanism. The opera was critically panned, both in Los Angeles and at the New York State Theater (now the David H. Koch Theater). But Mr. Owens, rendering a muck-encrusted monster relatable in a manner that eerily foreshadowed later developments, won admirers. One was Peter Gelb, who had recently been appointed general manager of the Metropolitan Opera.
"I didn't know Eric," Mr. Gelb said in an interview. "It was Julie who told me about him and how extraordinary he was. I heard him do it in L.A., and I was just bowled over."
Here, Mr. Gelb determined, was the Alberich for a new "Ring" he was already deeply involved in casting.
But before that Mr. Owens made his Met debut as Gen. Leslie Groves in John Adams's "Doctor Atomic" in 2008, appearing in a production that on CD just won a Grammy award. Mr. Adams fashioned the part expressly for Mr. Owens, who first played it during the work's premiere run at the San Francisco Opera in 2005.

"I first heard Eric when he sang the baritone role in my Nativity oratorio, 'El Niño,' with the Atlanta Symphony," Mr. Adams wrote in an e-mail. "I was struck by the power of his voice and the keen rhythmic sense he brought to my way of setting English."
Leavening the potentially one-note role of the blustering military officer in charge of the first atomic bomb test, Mr. Adams included a scene in which General Groves expresses concern about his weight. Mr. Owens handled it with tenderness and a hint of whimsy.
"He is a consummate musician, and he knows how to learn a piece so that it is secure in his memory," wrote Mr. Adams, who has conducted Mr. Owens on several occasions. "With many singers you have to give them every entrance, and in some cases literally every phrase. Eric barely needs more than a quick exchange of eye contact, and then you don't have to worry about him." Mr. Adams also featured Mr. Owens in his next opera, "A Flowering Tree," in 2006.
Mr. Owens was earning a sterling reputation for creating new works, one that he embraced with caution. "What I was feeling with all the new music I was doing in pretty quick succession was that, O.K., I know what they're thinking out there," he said. "They finally have a label for me, and it was hard to put a label on me before."
Instead, with help from Matthew A. Horner of IMG Artists, his manager for 13 years, Mr. Owens pursued a different path. "You take a risk, and you say no to some of the offers that come," he said. "You say: 'I've done three world premieres in the last two years. O.K., hold the phone.' You have to make a decision that this is an investment, this loss of income and work over here, because you're not wanting to be perceived as something you're not."
At the Met Mr. Owens balanced his stint as General Groves with a run of Sarastros in Ms. Taymor's production of Mozart's "Zauberflöte." Likewise he played the outlandish Nekrotzar in Ligeti's "Grand Macabre" with the New York Philharmonic in 2010, then sang in Beethoven's "Missa Solemnis" with the orchestra soon after.
In the spring Mr. Owens will return to the Met in its complete "Ring" cycles. At the Glimmerglass Festival this summer he will play his first Amonasro in Verdi's "Aida" while also starring in Kurt Weill's "Lost in the Stars." In September he heads to the San Francisco Opera for "I Capuleti e i Montecchi" by Bellini. Next season he will return to the Met for further "Ring" cycles.
Multiple productions of Wagner's "Flying Dutchman" and Dvorak's "Rusalka" loom on the horizon. His future aspirations include Wotan in Wagner's "Ring," Philip II in Verdi's "Don Carlo" and Scarpia in Puccini's "Tosca."
Around those engagements Mr. Owens maintains a lively concert career, working with orchestras and presenting recitals.. At Zankel Hall on Tuesday, accompanied by Robert Spano on piano, Mr. Owens will perform anguished Schumann, challenging Wolf and mythology-inspired Schubert in the first half of the program, with melancholy French songs by Debussy and Ravel in the second. The evening will end with "Les Deux Grenadiers," a Wagner obscurity.
"How does one end an all-French half but with a piece that has the 'Marseillaise' in the ending?" Mr. Owens said. "It seemed appropriate with what my career is doing, but it's not what people expect, and it's in French. Some people are going to be disappointed: 'Oh, I thought he was going to sing some opera stuff.' Nope. That's down the street and around the corner."

With the acquisition announcement, it's clear that SAP is playing for cloud-keeps in the business applications space, even if Ariba represents a source-to-pay provider that ported its CD business to a SaaS model. Coming on the heels and post-merger integration of the SuccessFactors transaction and the internal SAP cloud team realignment, the Ariba news will no doubt be a surprise to many in the field. While we will analyze the solution and product synergies of the announcement throughout the next few days, there is significant overlap in the solution base between the two providers, and still, a number of holes that SAP will have left to fill (e.g., advanced sourcing/optimization).
Most important of all, the deal should provide significant ammunition to SAP as it claims market-share dominance of the sector, at least in the near-term. But it should also spark significant innovation among competing providers as the investment community rewards new innovations with backing to compete in a consolidating market. With IBM's acquisition of Emptoris combined with this announcement, there are fewer and fewer providers left in the source-to-pay market with significant revenue scale.
Stay tuned as our analysis of the news continues throughout the day. Among other areas, we are curious to better understand how Ariba's supplier network revenue and positioning will fit SAP's license-focused business model (and if SAP will maintain the supplier-funded P2P model that Ariba has advocated in the market, which in large part has enabled them to price aggressively in recent deals).

Germany Celebrates 1st Same-Sex Weddings After Law Change
BERLIN (AP) — Germany celebrated its first same-sex weddings Sunday, after a new law came into force putting gay and lesbian couples on an equal legal footing with heterosexual couples.
Town halls in Berlin, Hamburg and elsewhere opened their doors to mark the event, made possible by a surprise vote in Parliament three months earlier.
"We're making a single exception to fire a symbolic starter pistol because same-sex marriages are possible from today," said Gordon Holland, a registrar in Berlin's Schoeneberg district.
Holland said it was appropriate for Schoeneberg to hold the first same-sex wedding in the country because it has long been a center of gay life in the German capital.
About 60 guests and an equal number of journalists packed into Schoeneberg town hall's "Golden Room" to witness the marriage of Karl Kreile and his partner of 38 years, Bodo Mende.
The grooms entered the room to the popular "Wedding March" by 19th-century German composer Felix Mendelssohn, before saying their vows and signing the marriage documents to applause and cheers from the assembled guests.
Kreile, 59, said it was an "incredible honor" to be the first same-sex couple to marry in Germany, noting that he and Mende, 60, had been campaigning for gay rights for decades.

Q: Proof of a practical method of a natural number's equation Example Question :
$3m + 4n = 70$,  $m,n$ are natural numbers. How many values can $m$ have?
I learned a method to solve this kind of problem, but I've never thought about that before.
for
n=1  => m=22
n=4  => m=18
.
.
n=16 => m=2
So n increase 3 by 3 and m decrease 4 by 4
How do we proof this works everytime?

A: Once you have an initial solution, say $(m_0, n_0)$ such that
$3m_0 + 4n_0 = 70$
then you can add (or subtract) any multiple of $3$ to $n_0$ as long as you subtract (or add) the same multiple of $4$ from $m_0$. This is because
$3(m_0-4k) + 4(n_0+3k) = 3m_0-12k + 4n_0+12k = 3m_0 + 4n_0=70$

A: You have the equation $3m + 4n = 70$ and you have an "initial" solution
$(m_0, n_0) = (22, 1)$. How do we characterize all of the other solutions.
Subtract $3m_0 + 4n_0 = 70$ from $3m + 4n = 70$
\begin{array}{c}
    3m   &+ &4n &= &70 \\
    3m_0 &+ &4n_0 &= &70 \\
\hline
   3(m-m_0) &+ &4(n-n_0) &= &0
\end{array}
So $3(m-m_0) = -4(n-n_0)$.
Since $3$ divides $3(m-m_0)$, then $3$ divides
$-4(n-n_0)$.
Since $3$ and $4$ are relatively prime to each other, it follows that
$3$ divides $n - n_0$
So, for some integer, $t$, $n-n_0 = 3t$.
Hence $n = n_0 + 3t$.
Substituting $n = n_0 + 3t$ into $3(m-m_0) = -4(n-n_0)$, we get
\begin{align}
   3(m-m_0) &= -4(n-n_0) \\
   3(m-m_0) &= -4(n_0 + 3t -n_0) \\
   3(m-m_0) &= -12t \\
   m - m_0 &= 4t \\
   m &= m_0 - 4t
\end{align}
So, in general, $(m, n) = (m_0 - 4t, n_0 + 3t)$.
To check that this works every time, you can substitute
 $(m, n) = (m_0 - 4t, n_0 + 3t)$ into $3m + 4n = 70$.
\begin{align}
   3m + 4n &= 70 \\
   3(m_0 - 4t) + 4(n_0 + 3t) &= 70 \\
   3m_0 - 12t + 4n_0 + 12t &= 70 \\
   3m_0 + 4n_0 &= 70 \\
   70 &= 70
\end{align}

West Villages Development at Full Throttle
SARASOTA, FLORIDA, January 17th 2017 – Home construction is going full throttle at the West Villages which appears poised to further improve the fourth place ranking it achieved in 2016 among the top master developments in the U.S. for the year.
Four existing neighborhoods currently comprise this property development in South County which in recent years has become a hotspot for searchers of Sarasota homes for sale. This quartet includes Gran Paradiso, Grand Palm, Island Walk, and Sarasota National.
West Villages, whose 8,000 acres straddle the boundaries of Venice and North Port, is already the domain of several prominent builders. These include DiVosta, Lennar, and WCI Communities.
Renaissance Homes Coming In
Other national homebuilders are joining the fray this year in three new neighborhoods. One of them is Mattamy Homes expected to launch its first model at Renaissance at West Villages in early 2017.
Renaissance, a gated neighborhood west of River Road, is planned for about 650 single family homes and paired villas. Mattamy offers four choices on the single-detached houses, featuring floor areas of between 2,300 and 3,500 square feet designed with three to four bedrooms and priced in the $300s.
The paired villas of neighborhood are two-bedroom affairs with price quotes in the $200s and floor plans ranging from about 1,500 square feet up to approximately 1,800 square feet. Located off U.S. 41, the Renaissance features a clubhouse, swimming pool, tennis and pickleball courts, and a 33-acre park.
The Preserve and Oasis
The Preserve is another new neighborhood set to roll out soon at West Villages. Top national builder D.R. Horton has been reported girding to start construction in this gated neighborhood.
This neighborhood has been platted for large sites for 108 homes with floor plans ranging from 2,100 to 3,200 square feet. In its area west of the Myakka River, home plans are also on the drawing boards for the Oasis, the third homebuilding project that West Villages hopes to roll on the market in 2017.
Town Center Shaping Up
During this year's first quarter, construction is slated to start on the first phase of the new town center at West Villages. Dubbed as the Marketplace at Coastamar, this project initially calls for a grocery-anchored destination with retail and commercial space of 60,000‒80,000 square feet.
The overall vision for the town center development calls for about 600,000 square feet of retail, restaurant and entertainment space. Marketplace at Coastamar is scheduled for inauguration in late 2017.
Fresh Builds in the Pipeline
New home construction, meanwhile, continues to pick up in the existing neighborhoods of West Villages. At Island Walk, three residences which are now under construction have been put on the market with tag prices in the $200s. These homes are designed with two bedrooms and two baths within floor areas in the 1,400‒1,600-square-foot range.
Pre-construction home offerings at Gran Paradiso were also listed among Sarasota homes for sale recently. These residences are designed with floor areas of about 2,000 square feet with four bedrooms and price quotes in the $300s and the $400s.


We recently held our second webinar in this My.ComMetrics 2011 trend briefing series – 25 blog posts and 7 webinars.
We conducted the third one: 2011 trendwatch webinar: Social media marketing and ROI, yesterday (watch video, listen to podcasts and view the slides).
Our seventh post focuses on social media, risk management and things like body scanners to improve airport security, as well as return on investment (ROI) of such measures.
In 2010, Toyota, BP and a few other well-known brands all experienced the backlash of a social media assault of some sort. Most handled these situations with at least some degree of aplomb, if not outright arrogance (i.e. BP) or ignorance (i.e. Nestlé's KitKat brand against Greenpeace – see point 5). Some dropped the ball (e.g., Migros) and still others decided to completely reverse a corporate decision in the face of a social media storm (e.g., Gap returns to its previous logo to satisfy a few angry Facebook visitors).
Maclaren was the first company to suffer having a major global product recall play out on social networks when an initial leak in November 2009 hinted about a children's product's safety issue quickly evolved into a planned recall. David Miliband, father of two small boys and at the time Britain's foreign secretary, sent out an unusual message on Twitter, the social networking service saying, "No alarms with our Maclaren today." Mr Miliband's tweet was one of thousands in a week where the privately-owned company was battered by the speed of consumer communication.
Trend 1: Nestlé, KitKat and Greenpeace and others will continue battling it out on the social web, but estimating social media marketing ROI will remain difficult.
Proper risk assessment and risk management will play an increasingly important role in assessing ROI while protecting the brand in case of disaster.
Tip 1: Social media is like corporate reputation insurance. You pay premiums in the form of building relationships, by listening and responding to clients' questions and suggestions.
Doing so is sound risk management, because it is like acquiring protection to help you when a PR disaster strikes. These people have an affinity for your personal or product brand and social media provides an existing channel to reach them (e.g., Xing or Facebook).
See our 8 guidelines for fostering social media engagement.
Unfortunately, convenience wins hands-down over security or privacy in users' minds.
This may differ for airport security, where the public supports more security, not less (e.g., full-body scanners and controversial profiling techniques).
But security is an issue that divides people. A careful balance must be maintained between protecting social media users' rights and privacy and giving them the feeling that big brother is always watching.

Trend 2: The threat of users being infected by malicious code on social networks will increase markedly during 2011.
For instance, worms that set status messages via the application without the profile owner's knowledge use a shortened link service with an infected GIF file – these will become more frequent as usage increases.
Tip 2: To avoid getting infected or having data security compromised, be cautious which shortened link you click on in a Facebook status update or tweet coming your way via Twitter.
As the Deepwater Horizon disaster illustrates, the seemingly quick and cheap fix of outsourcing may turn out to be nothing of the sort, instead costing a bundle of money and doing great damage to your reputation.
Outsourcing IT-related activities amplifies the risk of faulty execution. For instance, mobile computing that draws on services from giant central data centers – known as cloud computing – uses methods and procedures inherently vulnerable to disruption.
You might fall for the illusion that outsourcing IT services removes the need for you to pay complete attention to a service or function that is now being provided by somebody else. The financial argument, usually made in terms of 'cost savings' or 'lower head count', was bound to win out. But the risks can be substantial and when things do go wrong as they inevitably will, the costs far outweigh the savings in most cases.
Trend 3: Discussions about the hypothetical value and real cost savings of using cloud computing will continue in 2011, but the wise will leave this discussion behind, focusing instead on better risk assessment and management.
Finding innovative solutions after carefully examining and weighing all the information and risks is key to delivering dependable services to your clients and customers.
Tip 3: In most disaster scenarios, it is not an initial catastrophic event that predetermines the outcome, but rather how the people involved react.
For instance, do they make hasty, poor decisions for a 'quick fix' or calmly think through and follow planned solutions such as a six-step fire drill to get a grip on an emergency.
Follow our 5 critical steps for reputation management.

Are you with me on these risk management and social media ROI issues for 2011 or am I completely off? What have I missed? Please leave a comment; the floor is yours!
UrsnnI like this post because it points out some issues we tend to forget when we outsource social media work and/or the servers that host our corporate blogs and so forth.nnIn my company, we worry about passwords and change them all 2 months and they are long and cumbersome to remember. The result is not an intended one, namely that people make stick-on notes to help them remember to keep track of the many passwords they need to have (e.g., work, online banking, Facebook and Twitter).nnThe result is that besides the stick-on notes that are against any best practice approach regarding security, they love using the Facebook sign-on method for everyhting else including using Disqus to comment on this weblog.nnSo if a hacker gets access to their Facebook password, they are possibly in for a nasty surprise.nnAlso the outsource in haste, repent at leisure section is very informative, thanks. Finally, I look foward to your next week's post about metrics trends, these get me thinking.
JuliannnYes risk management and social media are an overlooked issue so far. I find this a rather risky position in itself if one wants to stay on top of Governance Risk and Compliance.nnSome might suggest awareness raising will help. Unfortunately, people are aware about the risks regarding aids but this does not necessarily mean they will change their behavior, does it.nnI appreciate your encouragement as well and I hope that more people dare like you to write their opinions on the blog. I finished the metrics post that will be released early Wed GMT.nnHope you have time to read it and thanks for sharing.


BOSTON — Citing rats, broken plumbing, leaky ceilings, poor ventilation and run-down equipment, firefighter unions across the state are sounding the alarm about station houses they say receive little attention, saying poor conditions raise safety fears and hurt morale.
"There's concerns statewide," said Richard MacKinnon Jr., president of the Professional Fire Fighters of Massachusetts.
A state law signed by Gov. Charlie Baker last year that enforces standards created in the Occupational Safety and Health Act for all state and local government workers, took affect Feb. 1, forcing municipalities to address the issues, according to MacKinnon. Some stations, where firefighters both live and work, have real safety concerns, he said.
A fire engine breakdown in Woburn recently forced firefighters to respond to calls in a station pickup truck. The station has been criticized for having rat infestations, jammed windows and floor damage during storms. Woburn has taken initial steps toward building two new stations, appropriating $600,000 for a feasibility study. Woburn Fire Chief Stephen Adgate told the Herald Monday his station has endured some problems, but says it has a "very efficient DPW crew" to addresses those issues.
"I'm going to tell you right now, this station, despite what anyone thinks around here, is probably in better shape than I've ever seen it," Adgate said.
In Medford, Local 1032 President Ed Buckley said the city's department is worried about its headquarters, at 120 Main St., which is shared with police and has broken windows, issues with heat, air conditioning, rats and bad plumbing.
Buckley criticized the city and Mayor Stephanie M. Burke for what he says has been a lack of attention to the fire department, after plans to move the police station into a new headquarters were released.
"Morale is at an all-time low since she's been mayor," Buckley added, referring to Burke.
Cambridge made an emergency $2 million appropriation last year after Mayor Marc McGovern toured some stations.

24 May 1924: Hazrat Musleh-e-Maudra decided to travel to Europe upon the invitation of the Wembley Conference's organisers. Huzoorra informed members of the Jamaat that the main focus of this sojourn would be to devise a proper scheme for the propagation of Islam in Western countries in the years to come.
24 May 1932: Hazrat Mir Muhammad Ishaqra read out his research paper in Lahore during a session arranged by Sanatam Dharam Hindus.
24 May 1935: From the early days of its establishment, members of the Jamaat patiently bore all hardships of opponents due to the constant prayers and guidance of their Imamra. On this day, Hazrat Musleh-e-Maudra delivered a Friday Sermon and foretold that the enemies were about to be defeated and that he could see that their days were numbered. Time proved him to be correct and even adversaries confessed to this.
25 May 1941: Hazrat Musleh-e-Maudra delivered a speech about the situation prevailing in Iraq in those times due to the Second World War. Huzoor'sra detailed analysis was broadcast from Lahore radio station along with Delhi and Lucknow radio stations.
26 May 1906: A baby boy was born in the house of Hazrat Mirza Bashiruddin Mahmud Ahmad, Musleh-e-Maudra. He was named Mirza Naseer Ahmad, but unfortunately this grandson of the Promised Messiahas died in infancy.
26 May 1908: Hazrat Hakim Maulvi Nuruddinra led the funeral prayer of the Promised Messiahas in Lahore at noon. On the same day, in the evening, the rail-journey started from Lahore Station to shift Hazrat Ahmad'sas coffin to Qadian for burial.
26 May 1908: Hazrat Mirza Bashiruddin Mahmud Ahmadra made the famous resolution to fulfill the mission of his deceased father on this day. He said that even if no one helped him, he would alone sacrifice his entire being and every fibre of his body for his late father's great cause.
26 May 1926: The publication of The Ahmadiyya Gazette started from Qadian which continued regularly for the next few years.

As such, he is often referred to as the father of Malaysia. He served the nation in the capacity of prime minister from 1957 to 1963.
27 May 1908: Hazrat Hakim Maulvi Nuruddinra was unanimously elected as the first Khalifa of the Promised Messiahas. He addressed the Ahmadis before accepting their Bai'at.

The Dryandra Regional Equestrian Association has been awarded a $50,000 grant through the State Government's Community Chest Fund (CCF).
Local Member Terry Waldron said the funding, made possible by the Royalties for Regions program, has been provided for a horse yard cover for the local association.
Mr Waldron's Nationals WA colleague and Regional Development Minister Terry Redman announced the successful recipients of the Wheatbelt region's CCF program on Thursday.
Mr Waldron said the (CCF) fund provided one-off grants to community groups, local governments and not-for-profit organisations to improve and develop infrastructure and services in the region.
"The Community Chest Fund provides regional voluntary organisations, educational institutions and community organisations with grants of up to $50,000 to support local projects," he said.
Nationals WA candidate for Roe Peter Rundle also welcomed the funding for the local equestrian centre.
Mr Rundle said a number of "excellent projects" had been recognised through this round of the Wheatbelt CCF program.
"These projects will help attract investment, foster economic growth, increase job opportunities and improve the quality of life for communities in the region," he said.
Mr Waldron said the fund supported region-specific priorities driven by local communities to develop infrastructure, services and community projects that helped build vibrant regions with strong economies.
As former Chair of the Great Southern Development Commission (GSDC), Mr Rundle said he was aware of hundreds of diverse projects and organisations right across regional WA, which had significantly benefited from the CCF initiative in recent years.
Through the Royalties for Regions program, the State Government has invested $10 million into the CCF (across four years).

FANIZZI HELPS CZECHS LEARN BASEBALL AMERICAN-STYLE
SHARON ROBB, Staff WriterSUN-SENTINEL
Soldiers with machine guns at the airport. Camera crews interviewing baseball players on the field in the middle of a game. Salami, hard rolls and warm Coke for breakfast.
Nothing could have prepared former College of Boca Raton star Bill Fanizzi, 26, and his U.S. teammates for the week spent in Czechoslovakia, competing in the Prague Invitational Tournament -- a tuneup for European teams learning baseball American-style for the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona.
"We didn't want to flinch a muscle when we went through customs and saw soldiers walking around with machine guns on their backs," Fanizzi said.
It was an experience, Fanizzi said, he will never forget -- well worth the $1,600 he collected from local sponsors to get there.
Fanizzi, an outfielder, was one of the team's leading hitters with a .470 average, eight hits, five RBI and five runs scored. Against the Czech Olympic team, he hit three doubles in seven innings.
"Going there showed me how people live in a Communist country and made me appreciate our country," Fanizzi said. "As far as baseball, they have some enthusiastic people. It's going to take a while to get the mechanics down, but they've got the enthusiasm.
"If they get the game down and get the proper coaching I think in 10 years Czechoslovakia could do something with the game," Fanizzi said. "They had some big athletes on their team."
Miroslav Vojtisek, vice president of the Czechoslovakia baseball federation and Olympic coach, invited a group of all-star players coached by Nova University assistant coach Scott Vrabel to compete in a round-robin tournament that also included Holland, two Czech teams, Italy, the Soviet Union and Athletes in Action, a group of Christian baseball players who travel throughout Europe.
The idea, Vojtisek said, was to get his players experience before baseball becomes a medal sport at the Barcelona Games.
Thirteen college players, including 11 South Florida players, made the trip. Holland won the tournament with a 4-0 record, and refused to play the U.S. because of a lack of pitchers. Athletes in Action finished second with a 4-1 record and the U.S. All-Stars finished third with a 5-1 record. They lost to Athletes in Action 10-8.
Vrabel said umpires made two controversial calls in the loss, including a call that was reversed after Vojtisek came out of the stands to argue with the umpire. The United States filed a protest and videos of the game will be reviewed by the U.S. Baseball Federation.
The U.S. All-Stars opened the tournament with a doubleheader the morning after they arrived. The United States defeated Italy 8-1 and Czechoslovakia 11-8. Other victories: 10-0, the Soviet Union; 20-5, Czechoslovakia; and 6-4, Czech "B" team.
There is one baseball stadium in all of Prague. The field is grass with dirt around the bases. There are no stands. Crowds of up to 6,000 line the hills surrounding the field or stand behind fences. The Czech children beg the players for chewing tobacco. Others ask for autographs and baseballs.
"That was fun," Fanizzi said. "The kids couldn't speak English, so they pushed their tongues to the side of their mouth like they had a chew of tobacco."
On days off, Fanizzi and teammates took in the sights.
"The last couple of days after we learned the currency and the ins and outs of the country I took the guys out to an Indian restaurant for chicken instead of pork, which they served for breakfast, lunch and dinner over there. The only thing worse than the pork was the warm Coke for breakfast. You had to beg for ice. It's almost non-existent.
"We went downtown and it was bustling, just like New York," Fanizzi said. "We were amused by the fact we could get 40 to 1 in currency -- 100 of our dollars was $4,000 of their money. We were pretty rich. We bought nice crystal."
The players stayed 40 minutes away, on the outskirts of Prague in Mejta. The Motel Mejta was a cluster of cottages with no ice machines or bathtubs.
"It looked like something out of Hansel and Gretel, all these little gingerbread houses," Vrabel said.
For Fanizzi it was more than a fairy tale. The culture shock gave him a glimpse of what's in store, if he decides to play professionally in Italy. Fanizzi, who runs a landscaping business with a friend, plays semipro baseball. He played with the Miami Marlins of the Florida State (Class A) League last summer.
"I still have a baseball bug," Fanizzi said. "I feel I can still play. I have a friend in Italy playing pro ball now. I'm making some calls. I'd like to play professionally."
Fanizzi has the credentials. He was an All-County outfielder two years at Fort Lauderdale High School under Jack Trainor. He walked on at Florida State, then transferred to College of Boca Raton, where he led the team in hitting his last two years.
"One reason I went was as a resume builder," he said. "At this age, everyone is looking for that career foot in the door."

Feeling overwhelmed with financial stress? Quick fixes and short-term savings are not enough to see you through a tough economic climate.
Step 1: Where does your money go?
Problem: Money worries are on the increase because millions of us spend money that we haven't got, and most of us don't even know where our money goes. Of course, we know what the big and regular bills cost, but the rest just gets lost in general expenditure.
Solution: Get a true picture of where your money goes by setting aside time to add up your outgoings over a year, not a month, so you can take into account annual costs, like car insurance, TV subscriptions, holidays, Christmas and birthdays, your phone, home repairs, new tyres, furniture and clothes. Not to mention the many other items of expenditure we forget about, like the dentist, beauty treatments and kids' treats. This will certainly help to ease money worries.
Have your credit card and bank statements to hand. If you're still struggling to work out where your cash is going, download an app, like Expensa (free for Android) or the Pocket Expense app by Appxy (R39,99 for iPhone), and enter all spending on your smart phone as you go.
Problem: Yes, we must spend less, but that doesn't mean you have to give up everything. The way to financial happiness is paying down your home loan, having savings and a retirement plan… all of which you'll be really pleased you did down the line.
But life without a few treats is dull. Look at the areas where you have choices and especially look at the small items. For example, a R20 coffee per day on the way to work adds up to R5 200 a year, and spending R50 in the canteen each day instead of taking lunch from home could cost you R13 000 a year. Instead, that cash could be used to cover your petrol costs or to contribute towards your annual holiday.
At the start of the downturn, we shopped around for every bill, but the numbers of people switching have fallen. One area that can easily drift and is vital to set a limit on, is the weekly grocery shopping. Buying online cuts temptation and means you'll be sure of knowing what you'll pay at the till.
These are hard to budget for and the ones that throw us off course: the geyser breaking down, or the car needing repairs. Build up cash savings to cope with these one-off mishaps. Don't cut back on insurance, and protect your geyser and car with breakdown cover.
Tend to spend without thinking? Try leaving your cards at home and use a set amount of cash to last all week. Using money instead of plastic makes us all spend less.
Think you can't make savings? On average, each year we waste 10% of our energy bill on gadgets on standby, R2 400 on the wrong cellphone contract, and R1 800 on discarded food.
Problem: At the start of the downturn, we reined it in and repaid as much debt as we could. However, debts have risen over the past year, with more than 20 million credit-active consumers. This means a big chunk of our income is going towards interest. It's keeping the financial services industry going, but cutting our own disposable income.
Solution: As long as you're employed, now is the time to take advantage of low rates so you can settle any credit-card debts and personal loans you might have, as well as overpaying what you can on your bond, without incurring penalties. Having R10 000 outstanding on your credit card can cost you more than R1 800 a year in interest alone.
Set up a direct debit to clear the full outstanding amount on your credit cards, and then try to reduce the number of credit cards you have to one, while doing away with your store cards altogether. Rather than being tempted to repay the minimum 10% of your credit card debt, become more disciplined by settling the full amount on your credit card each month.
Problem: The downturn means more of us are taking short-term steps to survive at the expense of our long-term security. When the global economic forecasts are bleak, it's easy to stop looking to our own future… it's too scary!
Cut spending by R400 a month and save it in a balanced unit trust earning 8%, which could build up to a nest egg of more than R15 000 in three years' time.
Reduce car-finance interest costs by paying off an extra R500 a month. On a R250 000 car with 12% interest, for example, you could save up to R10 000 on a five-year loan, cutting six months off your loan-repayment period.
Think of something worthwhile and break it down into smaller amounts so it's less daunting. Try spending R250 less a week and stick it away into your home loan. If you're paying off a R1 million loan at 9% interest over a 20-year term, for example, you could shave over R300 000 off interest costs and nearly five years off the loan.
…then work out how to get there. A Parisian trip, a home revamp, or just raising a glass to being debt-free.

Have an existing pension? Ask your scheme trustees or provider for a forecast and details of how a small extra monthly amount could boost your pension.
Don't have a pension already? A mix of other investments gives you more choices. You'll need some savings for a rainy day, but over the longer term, investments tend to outperform. Stick them in a tax-efficient retirement annuity and add to them regularly.
Property is your third option. Either equity in your family home or a buy-to-let, but you will need to have a big deposit to get a bond. Do the sums to be sure you can deal with any bad debts or in case you aren't able to rent it out.
