Duke, Louisville and Kansas among Kentucky's non-conference opponents
By Raphielle JohnsonMay 22, 2015, 11:00 AM EDT
Throughout his time as head coach at Kentucky, John Calipari's put together solid non-conference schedules that help prepare his teams for SEC play and the month of March. The 2015-16 schedule should be no different for a team that lost more than 85 percent of its scoring from last season, with Kentucky releasing its full non-conference slate on Thursday.
Among the teams the Wildcats will play are reigning national champion Duke at the Champions Classic, in-state rival Louisville, Kansas and UCLA. In total, nine of Kentucky's 12 non-conference games will be played against teams that played in a postseason tournament in 2014-15 with five reaching the NCAA tournament.
"Putting a schedule together, especially one like this, is fun," Calipari said in the release. "Having to play those games is a different story. To understate it, this will obviously be a challenging schedule for a young team like ours, which lost more than 85 percent of its scoring and nearly 80 percent of its rebounding. We're excited for the challenge."
Kentucky will open its regular season with games November 13 and 14 at Rupp Arena against Albany and NJIT, with those games being part of the Basketball Hall of Fame Classic. Then comes the game against Duke November 17 at the United Center in Chicago, which is one of three neutral site games on Kentucky's non-conference schedule. The other two are against USF in Miami (November 27) and against Ohio State in Brooklyn (December 19).
Kentucky will play just two road games in non-conference play, which tends to be commonplace amongst major conference programs. The Wildcats visit UCLA December 3, and they'll visit Allen Fieldhouse to play Kansas January 30 as part of the Big 12/SEC Challenge. Kentucky will also host one of college basketball's fiercest rivalries, with Louisville making the trip to Lexington the day after Christmas.
Below is Kentucky's full non-conference schedule, which also includes a game against Bobby Hurley-led Arizona State December 12 in Lexington.
Friday, November 13 vs. Albany
Saturday, November 14 vs. NJIT
Tuesday, November 17 vs. Duke (in Chicago)
Friday, November 20 vs. Wright State
Tuesday, November 24 vs. Boston University
Friday, November 27 vs. USF (in Miami)
Monday, November 30 vs. Illinois State
Thursday, December 3 at UCLA
Wednesday, December 9 vs. Eastern Kentucky
Saturday, December 12 vs. Arizona State
Saturday, December 19 vs. Ohio State (in Brooklyn)
Saturday, December 26 vs. Louisville
Saturday, January 30 at Kansas


It's important to keep in mind that being scrappy with resources doesn't mean a dealership's marketing strategies should suffer. Even on a tight budget, commercial dealers can maximize exposure, cultivate a sterling reputation, develop a leading voice, and become a powerhouse in sales. In Part 5B of our Scrappy Marketing on a Budget series, we're discussing how that success can be achieved when dealers Plan Dynamic Emails!!
Selecting an Email Service Provider (ESP): Unless you employ your own email specialist, you're likely going to need some help putting together and sending out emails. ESPs offer user-friendly software to create, develop, and implement email marketing strategies. Many of these companies have starting packages which are free, with affordable upgrades available for purchase, making them perfect for a scrappy marketing team. Popular ESPs include MailChimp, MailerLite, TargetHero, SendInBlue, ReachMail, Benchmark, and Constant Contact.
Getting Organized: Before you start signing people up to receive emails, you'll have to decide what the purpose of your email campaign is, what type of content can best serve that goal, and how frequently that content needs to be shared. Because emails should go out on a regular basis, it is best to organize, schedule, and track that content via a content calendar. As your email reach grows, you may even offer various options to customers based on how often they want to receive emails or the type of content they prefer. The ongoing development of your email program will require a strong commitment to staying organized.
Selecting Content: Once you have a basic plan, it's time to select the exact content that will go out. Emails can share expert content, exclusive offers, company updates, new product details, industry news, upcoming dealership events, or popular social media posts – just to name a few. Your content is up to you, and will depend on what you can offer and who your audience is – just be sure that what you share is professional, insightful, and aligned with your email marketing goals.
Gaining Subscribers: There are a number of effective ways to get people to sign up to receive your emails, including requiring an email to access certain parts of your website or to download certain content, asking social media followers to subscribe via a landing page, or collecting emails in-person while at tradeshows or in your dealership. From an ethical standpoint, people should always know when their email is collected, what kind of emails they may receive, and how often they will be emailed. Always state your purpose when collecting emails, avoid buying pre-collected lists from outside parties, and only send what you say you will – you don't want to be known as an annoying "spammer." Following these best practices for gaining subscribers will help you maintain a robust list of followers who are interested in your content, and also helps maintain your reputation as a quality industry leader.
Once you have selected an ESP, organized your efforts, selected specific content, and gained subscribers, you will be set-up for success and ready to actually implement a dynamic email marketing campaign. And, of course, our tips and tricks for implementing email campaigns will be coming soon.
And there you have it. When the marketing budget is tight, and the money just isn't there for an expensive advertising campaign, crafting dynamic emails is a great way to successfully maximize exposure and grow sales. And if you're looking for more ways to pursue Scrappy Marketing on a Budget, future posts in this series will further discuss email campaign implementation and analysis, as well as community service. Stay tuned!!

Rotary Club Reading Seed needs 500 volunteer tutors
Arizona Daily Star
South Siders especially sought to help students
By Carmen Duarte
Tucson, Arizona | Published: http://www.azstarnet.com/allheadlines/143981
The Rotary Club of Tucson is seeking 500 volunteers to tutor first- through third-graders in 112 elementary schools in Pima County.
In addition to English speakers, bilingual volunteers who can speak Spanish, Arabic, Russian and Romanian also are needed for the program. Tutors must commit to working one hour a week with students and have a choice of schools and grades.
"Our biggest challenge is finding tutors for South Side schools in the Sunnyside and Tucson unified school districts," said Allan Tractenberg, director of the club's Reading Seed literacy program. "Most of our volunteers are retired and live in North and Northwest Tucson.
"We need more volunteers who live on the South Side, and we also need bilingual volunteers. We tutor in English, but there are more than a dozen foreign languages spoken by students attending local school districts. Many are still not comfortable speaking in English," Tractenberg said.
Volunteer Ruth Rodriguez, 69, who works with students at Wheeler Elementary School, 1818 Avenida del Sol, said she finds tutoring children very satisfying. "I love children, and I think reading is very, very important. I enjoy helping them, and I get a sense of great satisfaction when they understand the words."
Rodriguez began volunteering two years ago and said supporting and encouraging children to learn is necessary for their success — something she did for her three daughters.
Tutors are working with children in nine school districts in the Tucson area, and there is a waiting list of students who need help, Tractenberg said.
Since the club took over the program in 2004, it has trained 1,100 volunteers and expanded the program, which then had 125 volunteers working at 14 schools. The program was founded in 1995 by Elizabeth Peasley-Fimbres, a Pima County Juvenile Court judge pro tempore, and Lita Bratt, a retired teacher.
"We hope to train 500 volunteers for the 2006-07 school year, but we need 2,000 more volunteers to help at the schools," said Tractenberg, a former New York City advertising and marketing executive.
Tractenberg was a volunteer tutor for nine years before becoming director of the literacy program. The Rotary Club of Tucson, a service club that promotes educational and humanitarian programs, provided $1.5 million in funding over five years for Reading Seed, Tractenberg said.
Club officials also approached the University of Arizona College of Education to develop a training manual and to assess students' progress in the tutoring program. UA faculty members also wrote a grant, and Qwest allocated $70,000 to the university to establish a library for the program.
Schools or people interested in borrowing books but who are not part of the literacy program can call 798-0700 weekdays between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., or go to the Reading Seed library at 1920 E. Silverlake Road.
● The Rotary Club of Tucson needs volunteer tutors to help elementary school students improve their reading skills.
Here is a list of free classes for those interested in becoming a tutor for Reading Seed:
l Sept. 5: Vail School District central office, 13801 E. Benson Highway, 762-2000.
l Sept. 12: Oro Valley Library, 1305 W. Naranja Drive, 229-5300.
l Sept. 13: Wilmot Library, 530 N. Wilmot Road, 791-4627.
l Sept. 16: Himmel Park Library, 1035 N. Treat Ave., 791-4397.
l Sept. 20, 28 and Oct. 16: Woods Library, 3455 N. First Ave., 791-4548.
l Sept. 26 and Oct. 30: Dusenberry-River Library, 5605 E. River Road, 791-4979.
l Oct. 2: Mission Library, 3770 S. Mission Road, 791-4811.
l Oct. 13, 24: Green Valley Library, 601 N. La Cañada Drive, 625-8660
Call 798-0700 for more information about the program or send e-mail to readingseed@aol.com

Over the past few months, I've partnered up with Take Five – a national awareness campaign led by Financial Fraud Action UK (part of UK Finance), backed by the Government – and brought you a series of blog posts, podcasts and social media coverage of events. It's been an eye-opening time for me!
Scammers are very clever and they go out of their way to sound genuine. Just listen to my podcast episode with Katie Ellison to hear how convincing the scammer was who conned her and her husband out of over £9000. Even highly intelligent people fall victim to scams, so don't think you're above it.
Despite popular belief, elderly people aren't more likely to be targeted. Busy parents who are rushing around and juggling multiple tasks are often scammed and teenagers with mobile phones and email addresses are easy targets too.
Spread the word about scams you hear about – tell your family and friends so that they're aware too, and tell them what to do if they receive a suspicious call, email or text.
Make your default position: My money, My info, I Don't Think So. Make it hard for scammers to get their hands on your hard-earned cash.
If you're in any doubt that the text, call or email you've received is genuine, always stop and Take Five to think about it. The scammer wants you to feel panicked, but don't allow them to pressurise you. Take five, call the organisation on a trusted number and ask if the call/text/email you've received is genuine.
For more information on fraud and how to avoid scams, visit the Take Five website.

Great sharing. Important points should consider to keep safe in the online world.

I got a lot of pushback on twitter and some here (a lot less) for not knowing who Augustine of Hippo was. (I hope I have the right Augustine.) One of the problems with a title like "senior editor" or with working at a place like The Atlantic or with assuming mantles like "writer" or "public intellectual" is people expect those kinds of credentials to mean that the bearer is in possession of a super-abundance of information about great thinkers and great writers. I think I've been pretty straight with you guys about the pitfalls of my eduction. And that isn't because I think my pitfalls are any greater or any worse than any other writer. In fact, I reject the entire business.
Larry Neal was deeply influential in my writing. Very few of my peers have read the poetry of Larry Neal, and of those who have, every one of them is black. The poetry of Carolyn Forché and Lucille Clifton helped shape my style. (Cop that collected, son.) More people have read Lucille Clifton, but not a lot. My entree into this current project dealing with the Civil War and slavery, was the work of Paula Giddings and her awesome biography of Ida B Wells, A Sword Among Lions. I know one other person whose read the book. My Dad. This is to say nothing of all the obscure rappers and MCs who caused me to fall in love with words.
I believe in a great canon, but as a writer, I don't much care. The artist's canon must be personal. My canon happens to include Clifton, Neal, Rakim, Raekwon etc. and Fitzgerald, McPherson, Hurston, Melville, Wharton, Doctorow, Hurston and so on. Perhaps one day it will include Augustine. But there's a lot of great stuff I haven't read. I've never made it through a Hemingway novel. I have not read a single story of Mark Twain's. I read Plato in college, which is to say I didn't read it all. I loved Foucault but didn't finish. I have not read Nietzsche. I have not read Henry James, Cervantes, Willa Cather, John Edgar Wideman, Wallace Stegner, Joseph Heller or J.D. Salinger.
If you name an important book there is a very good chance I haven't read it. I'm not against important books. I hope to write one someday. But I read what I like, before I read what's important. That's who I am. It's my version of the "senior editor" or "public intellectual." I don't believe my job is stand in front of you and pretend to know things, which I do not. I also don't believe it's my job to be right. It's my job to be honest with you and employ really awful French.

Ubuntu retains 32-bit support following backlash from Valve and Linux gamers
AnotherGills posted a topic in News and general PC gaming
Canonical, the developer of the popular Linux distribution Ubuntu, recently announced their upcoming removal of support for 32-bit applications. Many Linux application developers were extremely displeased with this development as it would mean a large percentage of older Linux games would no longer be supported on the most popular Linux distribution. Valve has been at the forefront of development for gaming on Linux, and 32-bit support has been critical to their initiative. Pierre-Loup Griffais, a major programmer on Valve's Linux team, had previously implied on Twitter that Steam would be "switching our focus to a different distribution" in response to Canonical dropping 32-bit support from Ubuntu. After backlash from Valve and from Linux gamers, Canonical backtracked on their stance. They announced on their blog that "We will change our plan and build selected 32-bit i386 packages for Ubuntu 19.10 and 20.04 LTS. We will put in place a community process to determine which 32-bit packages are needed to support legacy software, and can add to that list post-release if we miss something that is needed." In the aftermath, Griffais posted on the "Steam for Linux" discussion forum, stating: He also states: At the very least, Steam will be compatible with Ubuntu for the time being. Thankfully Canonical was willing to listen and accommodate to community backlash. Are you a Ubuntu gamer? If so, do you plan on sticking with Ubuntu?
SteamPlay/Proton Support
Voxarp posted a topic in Development
Hi, my name's Voxarp. I learned of PCGamingWiki from the late TotalBiscuit's videos back in the day and I used to help contribute from time to time but now days I'm mostly just a user. Thanks to everyone involved for providing such a great wiki! Recently Valve has introduced a new feature of SteamPlay called Proton which is a variant of WINE that allows Linux and possibly OSX to run Windows-only games. It's an exciting time! What the community seems to desperately need is a resource to: Report game compatibility, possibly with a WineDB type rating of Bronze/Silver/Gold/Platinum - right now all we have is a spreadsheet on Google Docs. Present fixes and workarounds for games that don't work out of the box. Provide clear delineation between Proton versions, a game might work properly on one Proton version but not another. Possibly provide an overview page with statistics on the percentage of games working, with a table that lets you sort by criteria such as Proton version or compatibility rating. I know this is a lot of effort and not to be taken lightly, but I feel it fits right in with PCGamingWiki's objective of providing fixes and workarounds for every single PC game.

OpenAL Soft Linux Pack
Kenji Kusanagi posted a file in Tools
This is a pack containing a compiled OpenAL Soft libraries and softwares for Linux use. It was compiled by me (KayX291) in order to help newcomers with using OpenAL Soft without trying to compile it by themselves. It can be used for specific software which uses OpenAL or use it in your system as a replacement. The main difference between OpenAL and OpenAL Soft is the fact that the latter is not only open source, but also a support for mono, stereo, 4-channel, 5.1, 6.1, 7.1 and HRTF output. But with the configurator, you can customize and even enhance the sound output with filters, effects etc. It contains: - OpenAL Soft libraries - OpenAL Soft GUI Configurator - HRTF files - alsoftrc sample file and more. They are available in both 32 bit and 64 bit versions. Dependencies required: Qt5 and pressumably SDL2 (For GUI configurator to work) Compiled on: ArchLinux - 64 bit Manjaro 17.0.6 (via VirtualBox) - 32 bit Credits Loki Software for OpenAL KCat for OpenAL Soft Me for compiling em

UT Native Linux (451 Patched)
This is a bundle created for the sake of playing Unreal Tournament on Linux system. It is based on Flibitijibibo's UT Linux Steam Install pack, but implemented the unofficial 451 Patch. Be sure to read the README-KayX291.txt first! The only thing you are required are the game assets which can be found by buying the game from Steam, GOG.com, Retail etc. NOTE: If you encounter any issue regarding connecting to servers that rely on UTPG's patch (Such as Multiplay ones), you have no choice but to use the Flibitijibibo's UT Linux Steam Install pack. Non-Steam users can just copy and paste the content of his pack into main game folder, but if you wish to use some of the content I've made for this patch, I have uploaded the Extras for that.

This is a pack of goodies that were used for my UT Native Linux 451 Patched. It basically contains all the content from the Goodies such as: * Chris Donhal's OpenGLDrv * Loki Compatibility Libs * Server Creation Wiki page in text form * NPLoader files It also includes the "ut-fps" script and the Troubleshooting text file in case if you encounter any issues. This was made due to the fact that there is an issue regarding difficulties to connecting server which use 451 version from UTPG's. However, the mentioned version is backwards compatible with 436, which Flibitijibibo's back was made on.

Valve announce own SteamOS hardware for 2014
Valve have announced that they will enter the hardware space in 2014 with their own SteamOS device. Not only are Valve creating their own device, they have also announced a new range made by third parties which they are calling Steam Machines with the choice of "multiple SteamOS machines to choose from, made by different manufacturers". Valve are keeping details of their prototype close to their chest, and we can only speculate as to what kind of specifications it will have. They merely mention that "there will ultimately be several boxes to choose from, with an array of specifications, price, and performance." 300 of the prototypes will be made available to the public for those who wish to participate in a beta test. The deadline for this is October 25th, and requires the completion of an 'Eligibility Quest'. As it stands, it's a lottery as we expect hundreds of thousands, if not millions, to sign up. If the PCGamingWiki community could all try and get on board, we might have a chance of getting first-hand impressions of the device.
Steam hardware
SteamOS
SteamOS announced by Valve
In-home Streaming Local streaming is a clever way of circumventing the issue of compatibility with the vast library of non-Linux Steam games. The tech exists and it's solid - it's comparable to the WiFi streaming function of an Nvidia Shield (hopefully without the ridiculous tech requirements) or the streaming capability of the PlayStation 4 and Vita, where a beefy base unit can be used to stream high fidelity games to other devices at low latencies. Music, TV, Movies Another interesting feature that may put the (yet unannounced) device in competition with other devices like Apple TV, Roku and of course the media functionality of the Xbox One and PlayStation 4. I wonder if Valve have the clout to incorporate major streaming companies like Netflix from launch. Family Sharing A feature that has already been announced, but it would be great to hear more specifics about how this works. My biggest hope is that it'll now be possible to be logged into a single Steam account in more than one place - no more logged in and out of accounts just to jump between two different computers, a little bugbear of mine. Family Options Again, it would be wonderful to get more details on this. My son will be coming to the age and will be wanting to play PC games. Being able to share games between would be fantastic, instead of having to setup a brand new account and potentially doubling up on purchases. And the possibility of creating a PCGamingWiki 'family' account for testing purposes is an intriguing proposition. Thoughts Whilst the big announcement here is SteamOS the Linux platform, I don't think this is the real news. Valve have thrown their weight behind Linux, but we have yet to hear of other major third party support in the 'AAA' arena announce simultaneous multiplatform Linux game releases in the near future. Until third-party Linux support gains more traction, it'll be tough to maintain a Linux-only gaming environment, especially if this means ditching support for the enormous PC gaming back catalogue on Windows and Mac. Thankfully we'll be able to maintain compatibility with Windows and Mac games by streaming them from another PC. For me, this is the really big news - being able to maintain whatever OS I want my HTPC, and stream games from my main beefy desktop. Or - maintain a single 'game server' running Windows, and stream to multiple low-end devices, e.g. a low-price HTPC, a netbook, etc. Of course the next announcement is likely to be something to do with the specific hardware of the oft-rumoured 'Steambox'. Any guesses as to what this will look like? My bet is on multiple pricepoints, with one being a budget streaming box similar to the PS Vita TV, and one being a hefty gaming HTPC similar to the Xi3 Piston, both running SteamOS.

Music, TV, Movies Another interesting feature that may put the (yet unannounced) device in competition with other devices like Apple TV, Roku and of course the media functionality of the Xbox One and PlayStation 4. I wonder if Valve have the clout to incorporate major streaming companies like Netflix from launch. Family Sharing A feature that has already been announced, but it would be great to hear more specifics about how this works. My biggest hope is that it'll now be possible to be logged into a single Steam account in more than one place - no more logged in and out of accounts just to jump between two different computers, a little bugbear of mine. Family Options Again, it would be wonderful to get more details on this. My son will be coming to the age and will be wanting to play PC games. Being able to share games between would be fantastic, instead of having to setup a brand new account and potentially doubling up on purchases. And the possibility of creating a PCGamingWiki 'family' account for testing purposes is an intriguing proposition. Thoughts Whilst the big announcement here is SteamOS the Linux platform, I don't think this is the real news. Valve have thrown their weight behind Linux, but we have yet to hear of other major third party support in the 'AAA' arena announce simultaneous multiplatform Linux game releases in the near future. Until third-party Linux support gains more traction, it'll be tough to maintain a Linux-only gaming environment, especially if this means ditching support for the enormous PC gaming back catalogue on Windows and Mac. Thankfully we'll be able to maintain compatibility with Windows and Mac games by streaming them from another PC. For me, this is the really big news - being able to maintain whatever OS I want my HTPC, and stream games from my main beefy desktop. Or - maintain a single 'game server' running Windows, and stream to multiple low-end devices, e.g. a low-price HTPC, a netbook, etc. Of course the next announcement is likely to be something to do with the specific hardware of the oft-rumoured 'Steambox'. Any guesses as to what this will look like? My bet is on multiple pricepoints, with one being a budget streaming box similar to the PS Vita TV, and one being a hefty gaming HTPC similar to the Xi3 Piston, both running SteamOS.
