In 1915, Carl Rust Parker developed a circulation plan for the roads on the southern end of Good Will's Campus. A circulation plan is a projection or model of how pedestrians and vehicles will move through an area.
Parker's original plans included the design for Prescott Drive at the south end of campus. Prescott Drive is the main thoroughfare at Good Will. It begins with a stone entrance off of Route 201 and ends on Page Terrace.

Parker's drawings for Prescott Drive included a plan for a pond, the "artificial," which is located behind the L.C. Bates Museum. The artificial was built partly for aesthetic reasons, and partly as a source of water for putting out fires on the campus.
As time went on it was used by the children on campus for ice skating and other recreational activities. Today, the artificial is used for educational programming by the L.C. Bates Museum.

A view of Good Will before the construction of the "artificial" shows a low area, to the right of the road, that is the future site of the pond.
In addition to creating the pond and planning the campus roads, Parker also chose the placement of the sugar maple trees along the campus' winding roads.

Between 1924 and 1928, while working for Olmsted Bros., Carl Rust Parker created landscape plans for Good Will's new cottages and the girls' school.
These plans included the stone entrance at the north end of Bates Drive. The stone used in the construction of the Bates Drive entrance was collected locally.

One of the difficulties in designing the campus was connecting the campus roads to the main highway.
As of January 1929, when the stone for the entrance to Bates Drive was being gathered, rumors were swirling that the highway through Hinckley (which was then being built) was going to be moved, affecting the placement of the Bates Drive entrance to the campus.

Although many of the Olmsted Bros. ideas for the Good Will campus were realized, some, such as the placement of a campus museum with Moody Chapel and Averill High School (as seen in this blueprint) were not.
Parker had also hoped to build a dedicated science building, several memorial fountains and a separate agricultural school with a dairy in the basement.

As with many of the buildings at Good Will, Carl Rust Parker chose the location for the Prescott Administration Building. His letters to George Walter Hinckley show his reasoning for its placement.
Parker stated that Prescott should be placed in a commanding position, and be easily accessible from the railroad, highway and the rest of the campus.
The final location chosen for the Prescott Building was on high ground, overlooking both the campus and the Kennebec River.
In addition to placing many of the buildings and the roads on campus, Parker designed the school's outdoor athletic facilities, including the baseball diamond, tennis courts and 9-hole golf course.
As a landscape architect, Carl Rust Parker not only planned the locations of roads and buildings at Good Will, but also the locations and types of plants.
Many of the plants chosen for Good Will were shrubs and flowering plants like roses and honeysuckle.

After the original Prescott Building (pictured) was destroyed by fire, Carl Rust Parker advised the school on how to transplant and care for the shrubs and other plants that were growing around the building so that they could be re-used once Prescott was rebuilt.
Parker also designed the lawns at Good Will. In an effort to enrich the sandy soil on which the campus stood, he planned to plant corn and potatoes where existing and proposed lawns stood for one year, after which they would be plowed under. This was to be followed by planting oats and rye.
The following spring the lawns were to be seeded with a mix of rough stalked meadow grass, orchard green, alsyke, crested dogtail, meadow foxtail and perennial ryegrass.
Part of the philosophy of Good Will was to provide children with opportunities for outdoor recreation.
In the area of the Good Will campus known as Sunset Park, George Walter Hinckley developed walking trails. Along these trails were placed monuments, gardens, trees, and two trail-side museums.
The entrances to many of the walking trails were marked with monuments, such as these pillars at the entrance of the Dartmouth Trail.
G.W. Hinckley was the driving force behind the monuments and memorials at Good Will-Hinckley.
He explained his view in 1939: "Memorials are valuable because: First, they take us into the past and show us why we should be grateful; second, they inspire us to emulate the examples memorialized; and third, they beckon us into the future."
The stones used to build monuments along the trails at Good Will sometimes had special significance. In the case of Roosevelt Tablet, erected in honor of Theodore Roosevelt in 1921, a stone was obtained from Roosevelt's estate at Sagamore Hill.
Murray Tablets, another of the monuments along the trails at Good Will, was built north of Uncle Ed's Road on the campus. Constructed on the highest point of land at Good Will Farm,
Murray Tablets became a popular picnic spot, in part because it provided a clear view over the central Maine landscape.
Jaehne Shell House was one of two trail-side museums at Good Will. Herman and Paul Jaehne donated many items to Good Will before retiring to Florida in 1941, including a large collection of shells. The Jaehne Shell House was built in order to house that collection.
Granite House and garden, Fairfield, ca. 1935

Granite House, the other of the two trail-side museums, was designed by Charles D. Hubbard (1876-1951). It contained Hubbard's paintings of nine Maine stone quarries along with samples of Maine granite.
Surrounding Granite House was a large garden of igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks, some of which can be seen in this picture.

Over time the landscape of Good Will has changed a great deal. Trees have grown where there were once fields, and several of the buildings, such as the Fogg and Christian Endeavor cottages (seen here) are no longer standing.

Despite all that has happened to the campus over the years, the landscape still remains very much the child of George Walter Hinckley, Charles Rust Parker and the Olmsted Brothers.

Now let's think about two enzymes that are members of the same gene family but have evolved different functions. It's easiest to think of these as two enzymes that are now specific for similar but distinct substrates. Imagine that you were asked to "prove" evolution by changing one of those enzymes into the other? Would you recognize the same fallacy? Would you realize that the most likely evolutionary scenario is that the two different enzyme specificities evolved from an ancestral enzyme that carried out both reactions? [see: The Evolution of Enzymes from Promiscuous Precursors]
Changing one of the modern enzymes into the other would require many changes because in most cases the common ancestor dates back hundreds of millions of years. Many of the changes that have become fixed in the two lineages were not directly involved in selecting one of the substrates over the other (i.e. increasing specificity). They were neutral mutations fixed by random genetic drift after the enzyme became specialized for one or other of the substrates. Many would have to be "reversed" in order to re-create the dual specificity because they would have been detrimental in the ancestral enzyme.
Think about these facts as you watch Douglas Axe explain why his research shows that evolution is impossible [Video: Doug Axe on Protein Evolution's Magic Number (It's Six)].

Marc Surtees suggested that more of our discussions should be here. So rather than split the ECC School thread, here's a question that arose when I followed Ashley's link to an article about Steve Chalke.
Arguments for and against Steve Chalke seem to centre around interpretations of the Old Testament. Which made me wonder (not for the first time): when and why did the early Christians decide to include the OT in their canon? Just think - if they'd left it out, there wouldn't be a Christian YEC on the planet!

I'll be honest, I was a little disappointed my sweetheart didn't buy me these Black Milk Clothing Retro Gamer leggings for Valentine's Day.
They're so versatile! I could wear them to dance class or a night out on the town when I want to wave my geek flag high. Plus, bright colours were all over the runways during New York fashion week. I guess I'll have to drop the £60 myself. I just hope the shapes don't align and disappear rendering me pantsless. I'll be sure to wear my R2-D2 bathing suit underneath. [GeekSugar]

I've hesitated to post, because it's been all over the interwebs, or at least folks conversing about gender identity, but why not put it here, too?
Thank you, Johnny, for speaking out, knowing that other boys and girls out there, as you said, will want to and need to be themselves. And now they have you to look to as someone who has come before and done just that.
I honor Johnny's courage, both in staying true to himself and not bowing under the pressure of hateful comments, but instead taking the high road, speaking with dignity, and seizing the opportunity to forge a path for others.

Disney has just announced that Star Wars Attack Squadrons will cease operations in the wake of its closed beta test. A message on the official site reads, "We want to thank all of the fans who participated in the closed beta of Star Wars: Attack Squadrons. After much consideration, we have decided to cease development so that we can focus on other Star Wars game experiences. We truly appreciate the time you spent engaging in the beta."
The company first revealed the game in December 2013 as a Star Wars dogfighting space combat title set in pseudo-MMO-like 16-player environments.

(Pocket-lint) - Vita Audio is a manufacturer with a very particular speciality: tabletop radios, or rather luxury tabletop radios aimed at customers who value design and performance above all - and are willing to pay princely sums for those things. The R4i is Vita Audio's new flagship music machine.
Well, we say "new" but it isn't 100 per cent fresh. The Vita Audio R4 was originally launched back in the summer of 2008, and the R4i is a revamped edition. Externally, the two systems are identical, but beneath that gloriously glossy lacquer shell lurk a number of significant differences: the FM/DAB/DAB+ radio receiver is more sensitive; the audio circuitry has been tweaked for better performance; the CD player has improved tracking and shock resistance, which apparently means another performance boost; and finally the power supply has been reworked in light of forthcoming EU standby regulations.
The R4i's skill set remains broadly the same: there's a CD player, a radio, an iPod dock on top and an MP3 and WMA-compatible USB port at the front. There's are also a pair of inputs for external stereo sources: a 3.5mm jack up front and phono sockets at the back. There's also a 3.5mm headphone port.
Likewise, the styling and build quality are exactly the same as the R4, which is far from a bad thing. The R4i is stunningly solid (and heavy too at 8kg), but its tank-like build doesn't mean it's ugly: while it's not as slinky and curvy as, say, the B&W Zeppelin Air, it rocks a classically elegant retro style that will look good on any shelf, kitchen worktop or tabletop in the world. The high class build extends to the sockets (gold-plated, natch) and backplate, but frankly for the sort of money the R4i costs, you'd expect nothing less.
The design is rounded off (no pun intended) by the circular remote control, which docks on the top of the R4i. This remote features all the controls for the unit, so you do not want to lose it down the back of the sofa (the only button on the actual unit is the power control). There are buttons to select the source, change the info on the LED readout, skip tracks and play/pause, while a central knob controls volume. Give that a tap and it'll also put the device into standby, or wake it up if it's in standby.
The remote is lovely - weighty, solid and invested with a neat blue glow - but we reckon Vita has missed a trick by not making it rechargeable while docked. Instead you have to whack in a pair of regular AAA batteries.
But let's get to the nitty gritty: performance. Does the Vita Audio R4i deliver sound worthy of six hundred pounds of your money? Well, it's certainly a beautiful sound. The two speakers and built-in subwoofer (the volume of which can be adjusted via a dial on the backplate) produce a warm, grand sound which far exceeds the norm for such a compact device.
The bass, for starters, is far beefier than we were expecting - crank it up and you can literally feel the floorboards vibrating as the bass drum on Animal Collective's "My Girls" kicked in. But crucially there's no trace of distortion or wooliness there; it's beautifully taut and controlled, while still packing that satisfying low-end punch your ears crave.
The mid and high parts of the music spectrum have not been neglected either. Vocals are clear and immediate, acoustic guitar sounds sparkle and synths shine. It's a really assured sound that suits such a simple system well: you can put pretty much anything on here - a CD, an MP3, your iPod or BBC 6 Music - and the R4i will present it to you in a form that really tickles your eardrums.
Again, this is something you should expect from a product in this price bracket. If we had to make a criticism it'd be that the close proximity of the left and right speakers leads to fairly indistinct stereo imaging - but that's really just a symptom of the R4i's size. Vita has succeeded in creating a (fairly) small product that serves up a big, beautiful sound and that's no mean feat.
The DAB tuner works like a dream, locating all stations in moments and during our time testing never once dropping a signal. You also get a healthy amount of info on the LED display, including the current song playing (where the station supports that), which is nice in a nerdy way.
The USB player isn't quite so hot, although it's on a level with most of its kind. It takes a long time to locate files on a USB device, and then doesn't give you track or album names, just numbers. Likewise the iPod dock: this is one of the few we've come across recently which isn't "Made for iPhone", meaning that you'll have to put said iPhone into airplane mode if you want to listen to music without a bunch of weird interference sounds disrupting your listening. Given the R4i's price a proper iPhone-compatible dock (or even AirPlay) would have been appreciated.
The Vita Audio R4i doesn't push the envelope on the features front, which is a shame in such a pricey product, but it does deliver on its promises of great audio quality from something small, easy to use and utterly gorgeous. We don't know if we'd personally part with £600 for one, but if you're lucky enough to have that sort of budget for a desktop music system, this definitely deserves a place on your shortlist.

This has made its way around the Internet a bit, but we've got better video of the incident so here you go. This is our beloved (in Jacksonville) First Coast News sports director Dan Hicken voicing some frustration that Tuesday night's Olympic broadcast ran on so long—and he blames, somewhat rightfully, Bob Costas.
Mind you, this is a tape-delayed broadcast. There's no excuse for it to run long. They can edit things down to fit time—indeed, that's their excuse for cutting things out of broadcasts.
This is really great, and even though it's a few days old we wanted to bring it to you, if at least for the sake of better video quality than what's on YouTube.

Police arrest man in Orlando hit-and-run crash
Jeffery Herb charged with DUI
A hit-and-run, a chase and then a takedown landed an Orlando man in jail on DUI charges.
Orlando police said the crash happened Thursday night in southeast Orlando.
Investigators said Jeffery Herb crashed into a car on Gatlin and Conway and just kept going. Detectives said Herb drove about two blocks and tried to make a left turn in front of traffic and slammed into another car and kept going.
Police said an unmarked OPD car was in the area, and the officer chased down Herb and detained him.
One of the drivers was taken to a hospital, while the second victim is OK but shaken up.
Florida Highway Patrol troopers said Herb failed a field sobriety test and was charged with DUI, two counts of leaving and accident and one count of leaving an accident with injuries.

Big Buddha has made handbags for awhile, but recently they started going the shoe route, and I'm so excited that we are working together here on Sometimes Sweet. I really stand by their shoes, and their company, and I think it's really neat that they wanted to giveaway so many shoes this week! You can expect to see them here in the future, but until then be sure to follow along on their blog. They have been posting some of their new styles, and I'm pretty much in love with all of them (these moccasins are killing me). So cute.
So anyway, today is the last day of Shoe Week, and we thought it would be fun to wrap up with a finale of sorts. Today's winner will be able to pick from any of the four shoes already given away this week!
To enter:
* For one entry, be a follower of Sometimes Sweet, and leave a comment with your name and email address.
* For a second entry, tweet about this giveaway using the tweet below and then leave another comment with a link to that tweet, and your name and email:
* For a third entry, blog about this giveaway, leaving one more comment with that link, and your name and email again. Feel free to use the images above.
* And for a fourth (bonus) entry, tell me which of the four shoes you would choose! Be sure to leave your contact info one more time.
So, you have FOUR ways to win today, via four separate comments! I'll choose today's winner at 8pm tonight, so check back later today.
Good luck to all who enter! And thanks again for being a part of Shoe Week!

Dear Annie: I am a 17-year-old straight-A student and have sound judgment for most things, but I'm not sure about this.
I have started seeing "Michael," a 25-year-old guy. I know it's a big age difference, but everything else about our relationship is perfect. So far, we have only gone out to public places and for limited amounts of time. I feel like I am being smart about this, but if I look at the situation objectively, the age difference gives me pause.
My parents do not know about my relationship with Michael, and I feel horrible hiding it. I have confided in one friend so that if I need her, she can pick me up and drive me home. I feel as if I am safe, but still, I don't know what to do.
Should I tell Michael to wait until I am old enough for this to be appropriate? I don't want him to find someone else and forget about me. I really like him, and I don't want him to get into any legal trouble. What would you do if you really loved a guy in this situation? -- Lost in Love
Dear Lost: Here is what we get: You are hiding the relationship from your parents, you feel safe only because you are meeting in public places and have a friend to contact in case of emergency, and your gut is telling you that this is not an appropriate relationship. We are strong believers in heeding your inner voice. It's trying to tell you to back away.
Michael may be a great guy, and the age difference is not what counts here. It's that you are 17, and your level of experience (in all areas) is limited.
He is 25 and probably looking for something more serious than you are prepared for, and you shouldn't be rushed. Not to mention, we worry about a 25-year-old who is romantically pursuing a high school student. Please confide in your parents, let them meet Michael in person, and then they can advise you.
Dear Annie: Please print this letter and remind people that if they walk out of a restaurant without paying the check, it is the server who suffers, not the restaurant. Also, the practice of dunning the wait staff for an unpaid bill is illegal under federal law, but it happens anyway. My daughter suffered through it last night. -- Angry in Louisville, Ky.
Dear Angry: You are right that not paying the bill is illegal, and forcing the server to pay it is also illegal. If your daughter has been saddled with a customer's unpaid bill, tell her to call the U.S. Dept. of Labor's toll-free helpline at 1-866-487-9243 and report it.
Dear Annie: Veterans for Peace is interested in returning the Nov. 11 celebration back to its original intent of celebrating peace, rather than war and warriors. We would like to ask all churches to ring their bells 11 times on Nov. 11 at 11 a.m. and have a moment of prayer for peace.
On Nov. 11, 1918, an armistice was signed to stop war between the nations that had been fighting World War I.
In 1928, peaceful nations met in Paris and signed the Kellogg-Briand Pact, legally banning all wars.
In 1938, Congress made Armistice Day official.In 1954, however, Congress moved to change the word "armistice" to "veterans," which also changed the focus of the celebration from peace to war.
Veterans for Peace is asking all churches to ring their bells on Nov. 11 and have a moment of prayer for peace. -- Samuel H. Winstead, Veterans for Peace

Driven to Defiance S2, E1: The Catholic Church uses all of its might to try to silence Luther, including accusations of heresy and excommunication. Protected by his local ruler, Frederick the Wise, Luther continues to write radical critiques of the Church. In the process, he develops a new system of faith that places the freedom of the individual believer above the rituals of the Church. Aided by the newly invented printing press, his ideas spread rapidly. He is called before the German imperial parliament in the city of Worms and told he must recant. Risking torture and execution, Luther refuses, proclaiming his inalienable right to believe what he wishes. His stand becomes a legend that inspires revolution across Europe, overturning the thousand-year old hegemony of the Church. But as the reformation expands into a movement for social freedom, Luther finds himself overwhelmed by the pace of change, and is left vainly protesting that his followers should be concerning themselves with God.

The chemistry whizkids at what used to be called Kentucky Fried Chicken before 'fried' became a word with negative connotations have come up with what they believe may be the year's big fast food burger seller - and it doesn't include bread. Behold, the Double Down.
The creation features a dollop of the Colonel's secret sauce wrapped in a slice of both Pepperjack Cheese and Swiss Cheese, between two slices of bacon and two filets of KFC original recipe chicken that serve as the 'bread' of the burger.
That's right - instead of bread, you get breaded chicken. Multiplied by two.
The Double Down is generally considered to be a big success thus far in the areas it has been tested, with management at a KFC outlet in Omaha Nebraska telling Australian reporters that the 'sandwich' had exceeded expectations.
The Double Down sells for $6.99 and a TV commercial promoting it in the American midwest says it has "so much 100 percent premium chicken, we didn't have room for a bun." The commercial comes as part of the "Rethink KFC" campaign that has, to date, been focused on rebranding the company with healthy products.
KFC doesn't offer official nutritional information on their website to tell potential Double Downers what they might be doing to their internal system, so we here at The Vancouver Sun have taken out our chemistry set and rebuilt the Double Down in our underground lab with a view to figuring out how it works.
The results of our calculations (and these are only guess-timates) show this one menu item can be estimated to supply more than the daily recommended allowance in fat (124%), saturated fat (117%), cholesterol (105%), sodium (125%) and protein (194%), as well as 61% of your daily recommended calorie intake.
Our figures are only an estimate based on nutritional information listed for individual ingredients on the KFC website, as well as ingredients that closely resemble others not listed, and data provided by nutritional watchdog groups based on generic brands, so should be taken (if you'll excuse the pun) with a grain of salt.
But if our figures hold true, and we haven't been able to get KFC to confirm they don't, the Double Down is more caloriffic than the Wendy's Triple with Everything and Cheese (1700 mg sodium, 960 calories, 26 gms of fat), the Burger King Stacker Quad (1770 sodium, 1020 calories, 69 gms of fat), and compares closely to the fat, salt and calorie totals of three McDonalds Big Macs put together (3060 sodium, 1620 calories, 87 gms fat).
UPDATE: KFC public relations rep Rick Maynard has come forward with some nutritional information estimates for the Double Down which he says run contrary to what we've reported. Maynard says the firm wouldn't normally do a full nutritional run on a product unless they decided to roll out a product nationally, but he has volunteered estimated figures for the information of the eating public.
Maynard clarifies, "It looks like when you guys ran your numbers, you included the numbers for two Original Recipe breasts (chicken on the bone). This product uses Original Recipe filets."
That information changes things markedly in some areas, according to KFC, putting the calorie count at 590, the total fat content at 31g, the saturated fat at 10g, and the cholesterol at 190mg. That's certainly an improvement, putting the meal in line with the mid-to-high range of most fast food outlet menu items.
KFC provided no information on sodium content, carbohydrates or protein, and though our adjusted numbers still come out differently to what the company claims to be true, we'll cede to their food boffins as knowing more than our junk food addicts with calculators and muffin-top waistlines.
Eat up, Nebraskans. And pass the napkins.

ADDRESS: 514 Park Plaza
BUILDING: 3,200 fin. sq. ft., 250 unfin.
LAND: 0.25 acres
NEIGHBORHOOD: North Downtown
CURB APPEAL: 8 of 10
LISTED BY: M. Gabrielle Hall of ERA Bill May Realty 804-981-0070
Recent news stories– not to mention evidence of construction on practically every inch of open space– indicate that the rental market in and around Charlottesville is saturated. Thus it's likely that this downtown property located where rapid turnover is helping fuel another record year in area real estate sales will appeal more to buyers looking for a single-family residence than to someone who wants to be a landlord. The place is interesting, however, precisely because it offers a variety of options.
Right now the large house down the hill from Park Street between Park Way and Second contains three comfortable apartments. The first floor, accessed in front up a steep flight of stairs from Park Plaza, has a large living room with pretty brick fireplace, an adjoining window-filled sunroom, dining room with bay windows, kitchen, and large master bedroom suite.
The 1930s hardwood floors, plaster walls, high ceilings, and rear ground-level entrance from an alley (with two parking spaces, a garage, and a private garden space) are plusses not available in most generic apartment complexes, or even perhaps in other rental spaces carved from homes downtown.
The upstairs apartment consists of a living room, bedroom, bath, and large kitchen across the back overlooking the garden. Two large under-the-eaves spaces are being used for storage, but the owner reports that previous tenants have used them as guest quarters (presumably for guests who were encouraged to make their visits brief).
It's also possible to imagine the two "rooms" as cozy private offices or little tucked-away reading nooks– but being windowless, the areas would rattle anyone with claustrophobia who had to be in there too long.
In the current arrangement, the basement apartment has more charm than the second story, and indeed the agent suggests that even if a buyer decided to convert the upstairs to single-family, keeping the basement as a rental or nanny/in-laws quarters might be a good idea. Down here one finds the most evidence of the grandeur of the original house (apart from the construction materials and graceful layout of the main level).
Because the house is perched on a hillside, the basement apartment– with private entrance, foyer, living room, bedroom, bath, and kitchen (including dining alcove)– has windows on three sides. And fabulous windows they are, gorgeous half-round casements (one over the claw-foot tub) providing a surprising amount of light. The dining alcove, with its archway entrance, is also a charming touch.
A buyer who wants to return the upstairs to a one-family instead of rentals will need– in addition to a good carpenter– some imagination and research skills. Undoubtedly the house was originally not divided, and so conversion may be simply a matter of figuring out and undoing what has been added or altered, such as the wall creating the upstairs entryway and blocking the stairs from the first floor.
Other changes will be harder and costlier– eliminating the upstairs kitchen, for example, or adding windows to turn the dark under-eaves spaces into real rooms. While the master bath is tiled, it's pink. (In houses of this vintage, it seems the bathroom tile is either sea green, black and white, or pink. What was going on back then?) That, and the other two baths, would benefit from modernizing.
While there's no central air in the house, the gas furnace is new, and the roof is reasonably recent. The fireplace has been converted to gas logs, which probably helps with the heat on the first floor. The house is on the bus line and, of course, within easy walking distance of downtown– and practically in sight of McIntire Road, thus a quick hop to the 250 Bypass for county commuters.
Considering other properties available, this could be a find for a creative buyer looking for the benefits of downtown living and the guest/nanny-quarters potential of the basement. The large front porch, garden space, and architectural details are benefits to offset the inconvenience of conversion.
And for someone willing to take a chance on the market, it's ready to go as a three-unit rental, with two tenants in place at good rates, and only the main level left to fill when the current owner moves.

Your heart pounds like a rock n'roll bass drum as you mash down on the accelerator and the engine reacts with a resounding lurch. Adrenaline runs through your veins delivering mega doses of über- awareness, mental clarity, and the ability to seemly respond at superhuman speed. The world blurs by the side windows but all you see is straight ahead, to the next turn, and your exit line into the straightaway.
This isn't a race track, you've just opted to take the empty foothill road leading to the farthest away store from your house – purely because you're driving a Corvette. You don't buy a Corvette because it's a great grocery-getter; it's more to the point of a lifelong investment to ward off a depleted soul and a surefire remedy against the humdrum. Since 1953 the Corvette has been synonymous with pure muscle, individualism and rugged elegance, and the 2014 C7 Corvette ups the ante to the next level.
There have been six rebirths of the legendary Vette, with the "C" denoting the generation, and it would clearly be easier to address what isn't new than what is. The C7 Stingray essentially shares only two parts with the previous generation, which are the cabin air filter and the removable roof panel latch.
The C7
Arguably the most significant enhancement to the C7 is the swanky all-new interior. Gone are the sharp edges and crusty hard plastics, which have been replaced with attractive new materials that are soft to the touch, and it's all accented with genuine leather, aluminum, and carbon fiber. Inside you'll also find a realistic assortment of useable new high-tech offerings which are all intuitively easy to navigate through. Two eight-inch hi-def screens provide access to all the info; in addition a single rotary drive mode selector allows you to change between the C7's five modes – Tour (the default), Weather, Eco, Sport, and Track. The car sets up nearly instantaneously. There's no messing around with sub-menus, the car simply adjusts 12 of its parameters to suit the existing conditions.
There are two available C7 platforms, the base car, which isn't so much a base as it's jammed packed with technology, and the other is the Z51. The latter model adds a bunch of go-faster novelties that are worth consideration as all of them improve the car even more.
Both the hood and removable roof panel are now made of carbon fiber on both models, the frame is shaped from aluminum, and the doors and rear quarter panels are made of composite. Together they help give the approximately 3,298 pound C7 a 50:50 front/rear weight distribution. The Z51 package also adds a dry sump, electronic limited slip differential, brake, diff and transmission cooling, larger wheels, better brakes, and a few nuanced design amendments, such as a taller rear spoiler to aid high-speed stability.
The 2014 Corvette's new 6.2-liter LT1 V8 offers 376 cubic-inches of displacement, and it remains an old-school pushrod design in order to keep the height of the engine down, and thereby the hood height. Low height is in fact one of the key paybacks to sticking with an overhead-valve drivetrain, rather than going with a more fashionable dual overhead-cam system. This brilliant OHV power plant however implements some exceptional new efficient and flexible technology belying its profile, which incorporates direct injection, continuously variable valve timing, and Active Fuel Management.
When Eco mode is selected for example, and the car is cruising, it shuts down four of the cylinders to save fuel. This produces an unnatural engine note, but it allows the C7 to hit almost 30 mpg. Yet with a reported 450 ponies in the coral, the 2014 C7 can explode from zero to 60 miles per hour in 3.8 seconds, and its top speed pushes near the 200 mph mark.
Edelbrock R&D
If the Stingray is indeed the model example of American automotive muscle, then the Edelbrock E-Force Supercharger for the C7, is the athletic super-nutrient designed to deliver optimized fast-twitch muscle performance. For those with the mindset that 450 hp from the Chevy factory is a lot, but more would be better, then one of the Edelbrock E-Force Supercharger systems is calling your name.
"Even though we had to opt for the automatic (much easier during emissions testing) – I LOVE this car," declared Chris Johnson, Edelbrock's Sr. Calibration Engineer regarding his driving impression of the 2014 C7. "Even after spending over 4,000 miles behind the wheel (E-Force equipped) I still get a big grin every time I drive the car. Power delivery (when you want it) is smooth and linear, any other time it's hard to tell that a supercharger has been added at all! After driving this car for so long I'm seriously thinking about picking up a 2015 for myself, manual of course."
In the formative days of the automotive performance industry you had two choices, either run what was on hand, or fabricate something you believed would do it better. Few people of that time understood or applied the principle of build-it-yourself any better than Vic Edelbrock Sr. Necessity, and the need to go faster than the other guy, were the mother of invention and the very foundation of the automotive aftermarket industry.
Edelbrock founded his corporation in 1938, when his need to increase the performance of his 1932 Ford Roadster led him to design a new intake manifold. It wasn't long before everyone else wanted one too. This transformed his humble repair garage into a parts manufacturing enterprise, producing one-of-a-kind equipment for automobiles. It was Vic Edelbrock then, along with a handful of other innovating pioneers, who in effect helped to invent the automotive aftermarket parts industry. Based in Torrance, California the Edelbrock Corporation now has six locations, three in Torrance, two in San Jacinto, California, and one in Sanford North Carolina, totaling over 500,000 square feet. The Torrance headquarters include R&D, manufacturing and state-of-the-art testing facilities, along with advertising and tech support. This year Edelbrock, LLC celebrates their 76th anniversary, and with the introduction of their new 2014 product line, highlighted by the E-Force Supercharger systems, they remain without question one of foremost icons in the performance industry.
"As the Sr. Calibration Engineer I am responsible for meeting emissions compliance, meeting performance goals, and ensuring that the calibration is as close to factory as possible," said Johnson. He continued, "Which might make it seem that I would be biased, as 99% of the calibration has been completed by myself. However, being my own worst critic negates that. As of this writing I personally would give the (E-Force Supercharger) system an 'A' overall, and a solid 'B' as far as the calibration goes (In my eyes perfection isn't attainable, even from the factory), however the feedback I have received from the rest of the staff has been quite positive."
Using the Chevy factory numbers for horsepower and torque as a baseline, tests have indicated that the Edelbrock E-Force Supercharger Systems are capable of boosting the Stingray to 624 flywheel horsepower and 600 lb-ft of torque with the stock fuel pump. Unlike the C6 Corvette that required an upgraded fuel pump, no change is needed with the C7 Corvette. The E-Force fits perfectly under the stock hood without the need for any modifications, allowing this highly engineered masterpiece to retain its factory intended brilliance.
At the Strip
What good is all that power if you can't put it to the ground? Using a baseline automatic C7 we recently tested, we were able to run 12.34 at 113 mph in the quarter mile. When equipped with Edelbrock's E-Force system, they were able to increase their quarter-mile time by over a second and improve trap speed as well. As tested with the E-Force system, Edelbrock ran the quarter-mile in 11.29 at 124.48 mph. Picking up 1.05 seconds and an additional 11.48 mph with a simple bolt on mod is an amazing increase over stock – especially considering this system can be daily driven with ease and maintain near-stock MPG if you keep it out of boost.
System Improvements Over Stock
"The Stage 1 kit comes with everything needed for the install in the box. It is complete with a refined calibration and it will carry a 50 state legal E.O. number. There is also an available 5-year 100,000 mile powertrain warranty for the stage 1," said Johnson in regards to the options and overall quality of the kit.
In summary what the Vette team has accomplished with the C7, and Edelbrock with the E-Force Supercharger Systems, is nothing short of astonishing. This newest expression of Corvette will allow you to commute or cruise comfortably all day long while only sipping fuel. Yet it has the performance and luggage space to handle long journeys effortlessly. But, what makes this C7 Corvette truly extraordinary is that by simply turning the single rotary drive mode selector, you're immediately ready to hit the track to find the next perfect exit line into the straightaway.

Dozens of concert-goers were hospitalized during Keith Urban's concert in Mansfield, Massachusetts on Saturday night.
The You'll Think of Me hitmaker brought his Raise 'Em Up Tour to the Xfinity Center but the gig was marred when emergency medics from five mutual aid communities were called in to treat a high number of revellers who had become ill.
Local police and fire chiefs tell news station NECN that 46 people were treated for "alcohol-related" illnesses, and 22 of them were sent to local hospitals for further treatment.
In addition, 50 concertgoers were arrested and taken into custody for unspecified reasons.
In a joint statement, the local Police and Fire Department officials say, "We would like to commend all those working the concert from ushers, to security, to the Police, EMS, and Fire personnel who worked and the local hospitals for their professionalism and resilient efforts during this busy show."
Last month, Swedish DJ Avicii's nearby Boston gig also descended into chaos as audience members fell ill, with around 50 people treated by paramedics on site and another 36 taken to nearby hospitals, pointing to dehydration or excessive alcohol and drug use as a probable cause.

Hitachi—the inventors of the IPS display technology used in the iPhone 4 and iPad—have developed a new capacitative touchscreen that allows for multitouch input with both fingers and synthetic, non-conductive materials like plastic pens or gloves.
While we don't know if Apple is even thinking about enabling pen input in their iOS devices, it will be very convenient to be able to use the iPhone or iPad on a cold winter day without having to take off your gloves. We can only hope Apple, Google and the rest of the industry goes in that direction.
The accuracy for a pen 0.031 inches thick on its tip is ±1.0%. That's only half of a millimeter, which is not bad at all. The design also allows operation through other insulating materials, like natural leather, artificial leather, wool and artificial fiber.
There's no release information for this panel, but Hitachi will demonstrate it on October 5, at Ceatec Japan 2010. [TechOn]

The New Republic (Hardcover)
Acclaimed author Lionel Shriver--author of the National Book Award finalist So Much for That, The Post-Birthday World, and the vivid psychological novel We Need to Talk About Kevin, now a major motion picture--probes the mystery of charisma in a razor-sharp new novel that teases out the intimate relationship between terrorism and cults of personality, explores what makes certain people so magnetic, and reveals the deep frustrations of feeling overshadowed by a life-of-the-party who may not even be present.
"Shriver is a master of the misanthrope. . . . A] viciously smart writer." --Time
Praise For…
"[Shriver's] whip-smart observations—about relationships, the role of the media, the cult of personality are funny and on the mark."
"In her latest novel, Lionel Shriver pays homage to Joseph Conrad—examining terrorism, media bloodlust, and the cult of personality through an unexpected lens of satire."
-Marie Claire, Four New Page-Turners to Keep Bedside
"A very funny book, but the laughs are embedded in a deeply disturbing subject."
-NPR, "Weekend Edition"
"Shriver is cursed with knowing the human animal all too well. The New Republic is satire of a Shriver kind, that is to say biting."
-Miami Herald
"Lionel Shriver, the author of the harrowing and patient We Need to Talk About Kevin, delivers something altogether different: a callous and romping political and journalistic satire."
-The Daily Beast-- This Week's Hot Reads
"Shriver is one of the sharpest talents around."
-USA Today
"Witty, caustic and worldly, [Shriver] is a raconteur who could show even Barrington Saddler a thing or two about entertaining a crowd."
-Wall Street Journal
"Shriver has been a National Book Award finalist with good reason: Her page-turners examine serious issues."
-Reader's Digest Recommends
"A wondrously fanciful plot, vividly drawn characters, clever and cynical dialogue, and a comically brilliant and verisimilar imagined land. . . . The New Republic is simply terrific."
-Booklist (starred review)
"The dialogue zings and the writing is jazzy. . . . [Shriver] can toss off a sharp sketch of a passing character in a phrase, and she's got a gimlet eye for what's phony, or affected, or even touchingly vain in human behavior."
-Entertainment Weekly
"Shriver is an incisive social satirist with a clear grip on the ironies of our contemporary age . . . [Her] take on journalism and international politics is wry, insightful and just over the top enough to be fun."
-Los Angeles Times
"[Shriver] is uncannily perceptive[with a] vigorous capacity for compassion . . . [A] surprisingly tender novel disguised as a clever satire delivered in polished prose."
-Philadelphia Inquirer
"Part Scoop, part Our Man in Havana and part Len Deighton thriller, Shriver's novel is not just about terrorism but also about journalism and the nature of charisma. . . . Shriver's Barba is a wonderful creation."
-Financial Times

You can tell it's time to get serious on "American Idol." The red Coke cups are back. No more shilling for Vitaminwater — it's time for the real thing.
The big news of Tuesday's first round of the "American Idol" semifinals was that new judge Ellen DeGeneres isn't sitting in Paula Abdul's old seat. She's batting leadoff, on the far edge of the four-seat podium. Randy Jackson slides down a spot to the No. 2 hole, followed by Kara DioGuardi at No. 3. Simon Cowell, of course, bats cleanup.
Tuesday night saw the 12 women take the stage, with the men getting their turn Wednesday. The judges had at least a few bad things to say about everyone, but generally speaking the quirkier girls got the best response.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Everyone liked Lilly Scott, the Denver auditioner who said she was basically living in her car and playing on the street a year ago. Kara credited that experience for making her rendition of The Beatles "Fixing a Hole" sound great and recommended that approach, even though being a busker to pay the rent leads to things like, well, living in cars.
Who knows what the judges really think of Crystal Bowersox? They like that she's an original indie artist, yet Simon and Kara want her to be more than a coffee shop performer. So basically, what they really like about her they want to see less of? Uh, OK. Simon again brought up that you could see similar acts performing on the streets, which makes me think that musicians have his daily routine all mapped out by now and stake out positions where he'll hear them. Dumb idea — he doesn't strike me as the kind of guy who tosses many dollar bills into guitar cases if he's in a hurry to get to a taping.
How about Siobhan Magnus becoming the first glass-blowing apprentice to make the "Idol" semifinals? (And no, I did not check the backgrounds of everyone to ever get this far, but I remain confident in my statement.) She did a nice job doing Chris Isaak's "Wicked Game" and should be safe.
Michelle Delamor was told that "Falling" by Alicia Keys was a safe choice for her, as though Keys is a really easy person to mimic. And poor Katie Stevens. She's the latest teenager to sail through to this point, only to be suddenly told that they need to sound younger. Not everyone can be Taylor Swift, people. And Ellen was the one who brought it up, so she now officially fits in with the rest of the "Idol" judges who have tortured young women with that line for nine seasons now.
Still, they all stand a better chance than the singers who went early, because in a two-hour episode, who really remembers what happened at 8:15 p.m.? Paige Miles was good, but was mainly memorable for saying, "I'm sewn into my outfit. I've been waiting to pee for five hours." Jannell Wheeler did OK with Heart's "What About Love," but didn't have much in the way of pizzazz.
Katelyn Epperly could have changed her name to Barbie with her makeup and fancy hairdo, but the judges loved her despite the rough edges. Didi Benami sang a little later and was fine, but memorable only to her family and friends, and those who lost money betting that she would break down in tears at some point during the broadcast, as she did at her initial audition and in Hollywood.
Want to impress your friends and predict who will be voted off on Thursday's results show, when the bottom two vote-getters see their "Idol" journey end early? One possibility is Haeley Vaughn, who sang "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" and made it her own, but had some flaws in the vocals. Ellen, the non-musical expert, enjoyed it. Simon, the musical expert, called it "a complete and utter mess." We'll see who wins out.
The two best bets to go, however, are Ashley Rodriguez and Lacey Brown. Rodriguez didn't get much airtime before Tuesday's show and didn't make any waves with Leona Lewis' "Happy." Brown's "Landslide" got the worst feedback from the four judges, and the Texan who barely missed making the semifinals a year ago may barely have a chance to unpack her bags this season before going home. But Simon did say she has nice eyes, so at least she's got that going for her.
