Gore Bike Wear Baselayer Lady WindStopper Short Sleeve Women's Shirt $75.95
Tell the wind to take it elsewhere with the Lady WindStopper.
It's a common cycling experience: One minute you're cruising along with the sun on your back, warm as could be, and the next minute, the sun has retreated behind some clouds, you've climbed a thousand feet or so, and all you can feel are the wind gusts chilling you to the core. The Gore Bike Wear WS Short-Sleeve Women's Base Layer's WindStopper fabric will help you push through those hard-to-predict climate changes.
Upon closer inspection, the WindStopper membrane in this base layer covers your front, shoulders, and kidneys. The rest of the layer is made of a polypropylene/elastane blend that wicks sweat away from your body and stretches with you. In terms of warmth, the WS Short-Sleeve Women's Base Layer lies between the WS Long-Sleeve Women's Base Layer and WS Sleeveless Women's Base Layer. The short-sleeve design covers critical heat-carrying arteries in your shoulders and upper arms, but gives you more planning flexibility than the long-sleeve version. After all, you can pocket arm warmers to use on your ride, if needed.
The Gore Bike Wear WS Short-Sleeve Women's Base Layer has flatlock seams to reduce abrasion and an extra-long back. There's a reflective front logo at the base of the neck, which provides an added glint of visibility if you're riding with your jersey or jacket unzipped. The WS Short-Sleeve Women's Base Layer is tight-fitting and comes in sizes X-Small through XX-Large. You can choose Black or White.

Under a short-sleeved jersey...
Here it is under Gore's ALP-X 3.0 jersey; the sleeves don't show, nor does it hang below the jersey's bottom hem line.
The overall fit isn't as sloppy as it looks here (the jersey, ALP-X 3.0, has a relaxed-fit...so unlike Giordana, which of course is made to be aero dynamic; but it lets tons of air flow through the mesh back and front sleeve area). The base layer also has a mesh back, so that together you are pretty well ventilated air/heat flow from/on back area (even with a pack). But on the down side, if the wind changes direction, watch out! Be sure just to take along a good jacket, just in case!
Overall, this base layer does just what it is designed to do; and very light weight.
A sleeveless version is also available, for under singlet's.
There's a long-sleeved zip mock Windstopper base, too...a definite need for cooler/colder blustery rides; and the zip helps to vent heat a little, too.
I like the utilitarian-ess of the almost wrap around (but not really all the way around the front) back/side pockets of the jersey...you can actually access them on board.
Debbie C
Manufacture's place of origin
Oh America, what has happened to you???
Great base layer, anyway.
*Will post any quality problems, if the arise.
Debbie C
Final Note:
Note that ALL Windstopper* products are only windbreakers (and excellent, at that), but they are only water resistant, not water-proof.
When looking for a water-proof jacket, look to Gore's ALP-X GT 2.0.
And the ALP-X jersey is a great mid-layer, too.
Debbie C
Breathability...Gore wrote the book:
Totally works. Prevents moisture build-up, which in turn leads to coldness, etc. While this is the ultimate windbreaker fabric, it's not, in and of itself, the warmest base. You will still want a good warm, weather-resistant jacket for winter/rain.
Debbie C
What's in a name???
- Gender: Female
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
WINDSTOPPER! That says it all! Went on ride this past week-end, it was cold, and very windy...had the long-sleeved version on and what a difference it does make! Totally worked, did not overheat; only wind I felt was when it shifted from behind (the back is just mesh) and the wind still cut through the back of my jersey and jacket (, but it was extremely windy. Should have also brought my Gore alp-x 2.0 windbreaker for over top all. This was the first time I've ever worn this baselayer (had been just using U.A. Coldwear baselayers) and so glad I had it on, I'm sold! Got this short sleeved version for that in-between season. Totally light weight, yet so effective. Should be a staple in everyones' bike-wear closet, male or female!

And The Winner Is
Hope you had a good time in Cabo! Did you go to The Office? You mentioned wanting to see some odd sightings while out on trips and I think I've got one for you. Last May the better half and I went to the Mayan Riviera, south of Cancun, for our vacation. We went on a tour where we snorkeled in a cenote (a cave system filled with the clearest, freshest water I've ever seen!), snorkeled with giant sea turtles, and went on a zip-line excursion. At the zip line, after being fitted with harnesses, we were escorted to what was called our "limousine." As this thing...err, sputtered up to where we were standing, I couldn't stop laughing and had to get a picture! Our guide said, "Let me take your picture in our limo." We rode down a dirt road to the platform for the zip, which ran about 800 feet through the jungle, starting at 30 feet up and ending about 10 feet high-mucho fun. At the end of the zip line, our trusty limo was there to take us back up. I couldn't help but watch the shocks and control arms as they flopped around, bushingless, over the bumps on the dirt road! I came to the conclusion that our "limo" started its hard life as a Chevy truck. What do you think?
As we returned, another group of tourists was loaded into a "deluxe" limo, one with an awning straight from a house installed to cover the tourists!
All in all, we had a great time and I noticed something interesting. All the newer Chevrolets down there were badged "Chevy," not "Chevrolet"!
Granada Hills, CA
Okay, quite honestly, I can't believe the number of responses we got to the question I posed back in the Nov. '08 issue. I had hinted at where I may have gone for a little getaway, and while many readers came close by simply guessing Baja, Brian was the first official letter to come through with the city of Cabo. Congratulations, Brian, and expect a few goodies to come your way in the mail. And yes, we definitely checked out The Office and what a blast that was!
For those of you who took the time to write and included your address, I've already placed your letters on my desk and I'll be sending you a sticker or two! - HD
Manifold Shuffle
Thanks from every Chevy small-block lover in the world for your article on intake manifolds ("Manifold Learning," Sept. '08). You really cut out all the guessing I had with the dual-planes. I guess you can't go wrong with any of the newer intakes. The 4 hp and 14 lb-ft difference of torque spread figures were so close that personal preference really won't let anyone make a mistake. Next, how about an article on multiple sets of headers (on a Chevelle, of course)?
Via e-mail
I actually have two comments. First, I was just reading the article about the 16 SBC intake manifolds in the Sept. '08 issue, page 23, where John Nelson wrote, "...while we're at it, we could see just how much power the RPM Air-Gap can support." Wow, would I like to see this! I had a 383 with an Air-Gap on it, and it was awesome. I'm currently building a 408ci small-block 11.5:1 compression with Dart 230cc Pro 1 cylinder heads, a camshaft with 255/262 duration at 0.050 with 0.630/0.630 lift on the intake and exhaust. I'm wondering if I should use the Air-Gap again.
For my second comment, I also read in the same issue that you're debating between an LS and a conventional 383 powerplant the Project '73 Camaro. I say go with the LS! I am really tired of 383s now, and let's face it: They are the new 350. Another option I would love to see is a big-inch 408ci, 415ci, or 421ci. Do something different! 383s are so 10 minutes ago.
John Caprai
Via E-mail
I just want to congratulate you on your "Manifold Learning" article in the September issue. It was the best tech article I have read in a long time. It provided valuable info to the Chevy enthusiast who is always looking to improve performance. My hat's off to John Nelson, who did a great job on this project.
I would like to encourage you guys to follow up this great article with one called "Header Learning." Longtime Chevy enthusiasts like me would like to know how the tri-Y headers match up with the long-tube and shorty headers. Also, use the same 383 mule with the same two cams as in your "Manifold Learning" article. Every Chevy enthusiast will be drooling.

Vartan Gregorian to Speak at Commencement
Vartan Gregorian to Speak at Commencement
St. Edward's University will confer 690 degrees during the university's 125th commencement ceremony at 10 a.m. on Saturday, May 14, at the Frank Erwin Center, 1701 Red River. Vartan Gregorian, the president of Carnegie Corporation, will deliver the keynote address and will be recognized with an honorary degree.
Vartan Gregorian has served in many influential roles during his distinguished career as an educator, author and institutional leader. In his current position as the 12th president of Carnegie Corporation of New York, Gregorian has ushered the largest American grantmaking foundation to its 100th year in fulfilling its mission "for doing real and permanent good in the world."
Gregorian is a world citizen who embraces the importance of international understanding. Born in Tabriz, Iran, of Armenian parents, he received his elementary education in Iran and his secondary education in Lebanon. Majoring in history and the humanities at Stanford University, he earned Baccalaureate honors in 1958 as well as a PhD in 1964.
Gregorian has dedicated a significant part of his career to higher education, teaching European and Middle Eastern history. At the University of Pennsylvania, he was appointed Tarzian Professor of History, became the founding dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, and ultimately served as the University's 23rd provost. Gregorian later became the 16th president of Brown University.
Gregorian's work and philosophy are aligned with the highest ideals of the Holy Cross educational heritage. Throughout his career he has advocated that education, learning and scholarship constitute acts of faith in the continuation of humanity.
In 1981, he became the president of the New York Public Library, where he contributed new levels of professionalism and commitment for eight years. Gregorian's stewardship of the library deepened his understanding of the power of philanthropy. His experiences with some of the most prominent philanthropists in the nation broadened his perspective that the duty of giving, along with the genuine joy of helping a cause that one deeply and profoundly believes in, is an essential part of American culture.
Having served in a progression of prestigious posts where he made significant contributions, and being the recipient of more than 60 honorary degrees, it is no wonder that he has been praised by American Presidents. President Bill Clinton awarded him the National Humanities Medal. President George W. Bush awarded him the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civil award.
A Glimpse of the May 2011 Graduates
St. Edward's University officials will confer approximately 690 degrees this spring. Degree distribution is as follows:
Traditional Undergraduates 493
New College Undergraduates 74
Graduate 123
Total 690
Jamie Wolff will deliver the valedictory address. Wolff will graduate summa cum laude with a dual degree: a Bachelor of Business Administration in Business Administration and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. While pursuing her degree, she dedicated three years of professional work experience to the healthcare industry. At St. David's Healthcare, she worked in the medical records department and is currently working as a registrar in the emergency room.
Wolff plans to pursue a career in healthcare administration with the hope of one day holding a senior management position and possibly even becoming a Chief Operating Officer. She plans to attend graduate school to receive either a Master's in Business Administration or a Master's in Healthcare Administration.
While at St. Edward's, Wolff served as vice president of the Psych Society and as a teaching assistant and tutor for Dr. Carolyn Conn's Managerial Accounting class. Through this experience, Wolff learned that one of the most important things you can do with an education is to share your knowledge with others and help them realize their potential.
Graduation Information for Students and Parents

Community college administrations overlap
California's community college system is the largest in the nation and the backbone of higher education in the state, serving the vast majority of the state's college students at the lowest price with the greatest number of locations. The system is especially essential now, as President Barack Obama has pushed for greater resources for community colleges to shore up the country's workforce through job training and education.
California Watch reporters examined parts of the state community college system's bureaucracy to identify spending patterns and understand why reforms may prove elusive.
The 72 districts keep payroll and other data in different formats, which makes comparison difficult. So California Watch drilled down on 16 districts, taking into consideration the availability of detailed payroll data, geographic proximity and district size.
The group of 16 districts had duplicative executives or managers in 21 positions, not including chancellors and presidents. A total of 253 individuals cost the districts $30 million in salaries and at least $7.9 million in benefits in 2011.
A broader analysis of the system revealed:
• The state Education Code prevents districts from laying off any administrators for the first two years after merging, making it more difficult for districts to save money by consolidating.
• The public appears open to change. California Watch commissioned a Field Poll that found an overwhelming majority favors consolidating community college administrative functions to save money.
• As the ranks of elected community college trustees have swollen, their power and profile have diminished. The state pays for 442 community college district trustees, including an average annual cost of $5 million for elections. But the authority of these elected board members weakened significantly 35 years ago when voters approved Proposition 13, which transferred control over revenues from the boards of trustees to the state.
• The Field Poll conducted in the fall for California Watch found that the majority of respondents had little or no knowledge about district board elections.
Unlike the centrally managed systems for the California State University and University of California, community colleges sprouted up largely as extensions of high school districts. That helps explain why they're organized into 72 locally governed bodies dotting the California terrain – each with its own bureaucracy.
In 2010, community colleges reported spending at least $1.7 billion on top-level administration, including pay for district executives and the cost of the 72 separate governing boards, according to a California Watch analysis of U.S. Department of Education data. The total cost of the system that year topped $10 billion.
But the 72 districts don't all report administrative spending to the federal government in the same way. That makes it difficult to compare how much each district spends on bureaucracy or to compare the community college system to other higher education systems.
The Riverside Community College District, for example, included $3.5 million in state money it spent on enterprises such as parking and student activities. The Long Beach Community College District did not include that category of expenses.
The chairman of the Assembly Higher Education Committee, Das Williams, D-Santa Barbara, said the state should consider district consolidation.

A table can certainly be a work of art but no matter how beautiful the table, it's going to look even better when accented with quality, classy decor.

These are just two of the many breathtaking artistic items found in our Basil Street collection and hint at why the Basil Street Gallery is the definite place to shop when searching for outstanding, exquisite items to decorate the walls and tables of home and office.

SLU's Center for Sustainability put its mission to work Thursday, March 17, at the annual St. Patrick's Day parade in St. Louis' Dogtown neighborhood, partnering with parade sponsor the Ancient Order of Hibernians to design and implement a recycling plan for one of the country's largest St. Patrick's Day parades.
The Center was responsible for the design of the plan and the management of the collection process for the parade.
The efforts not only benefitted the environment, but also the local and city economies.
Businesses in the Dogtown area have come to rely on the surge in revenues generated during and after the parade.
In years past, the event relied on St. Louis City services to clean the significant additional waste left behind after the revelers had gone home.
That typically meant the City's contract haulers would spend extra time picking up the cans, cups and bottles that littered the streets of Dogtown.
Besides the additional costs to the City, recyclable containers and trash from the event ended up in the waste stream, exacerbating the environmental challenges that some of the younger parade-goers will face for years to come.
This year, recyclable material was collected from nearly 50 receptacles along the parade route. The effort also raised awareness of the need to recycle.
Parade goers and venders were happy to have the new addition and happily directed onlookers to recycle bins throughout the day.
The event is supported by a host of volunteers-master of sustainability students, faculty, staff and friends of the Center for Sustainability.
Waste Management generously donated the recyclable receptacles and roll-off container used during the parade.

About Terence Blanchard
Real artists are originals who have a calling. The majority of people in the music world are often mere marketing confections or showcase acts, but not real artists. Acts can have hits, but usually their time in the spotlight is short lived. Real artists have a vision and follow it for the long term, creatively expressing themselves in abundance.
Witness Terence Blanchard who early on made a name for himself as a top tier jazz trumpeter from New Orleans and who has gone on to enjoy a multifaceted career both in the jazz camp and beyond. He's not only a five time Grammy Award winner, but he's also a renowned film-score and soundtrack composer (most recently for George Lucas's 2012 Red Tails film about the Tuskegee Airmen).
A veteran of Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers (recommended by Wynton Marsalis as his replacement in 1983), Blanchard began his own recording career in a band co-led with saxophonist Donald Harrison, delivering two albums for Concord and three more for Columbia before launching his solo career with his eponymous 1991 album, also for Columbia. He delivered nine albums for Columbia and Sony Classical.
What Other People Have Been Saying...
"… a band firing on all cylinders with enthusiasm, imagination, and considerable sophistication." -All Music
"Mr. Blanchard showed off the prettiest part of his playing, evocative, meditative and sort of scene-setting: he calmly bends notes, muting his liquid sound without using an actual mute." -New York Times
"Blanchard's trumpet eruptions… are ferocious yet technically exact, and that is before he turns himself into a trumpet orchestra with electronics." -Jazz Times

Race Relations Abstracts is a database of bibliographic records focused on content relating specifically to the relationship between races, specifically the social, political, and economic relations between races and ethnicities. Subjects covered include ethnic studies, discrimination, and immigration studies.
Guest curated by graduate student Katie Wills
Stories from people who were children during World War II and the objects in this exhibit animate the past and inform us of a time when war took over daily life. "Retrospect is a very interesting thing," says Ruthie Kallnder. "At the time I don't recall any of the information we got as being propaganda," but the government tried to influence children to make "necessary" sacrifices. Propagandists made the war a battle between good and evil, democracy and fascism. They also asked children to share in the war effort. In response, many children took on more responsibilities. Ruthie explains that boys and girls felt "if that's what it was going to take" to win they "were willing to do it." The memories of the people in this exhibit and their wartime actions show the power of propaganda's messages and its lasting affect on their lives. Propaganda posters, children's books, and classroom assignments demonstrate how propagandists reached children and involved them in the national war effort.

Ch. 5.1 – Tuesdays, January 8-22, at 8:00 pm
Repeats: Sundays, January 13-27, at 10:00 pm
Ch. 9.1 – Tuesdays at 9:00 pm, beginning Jan 15
Explore the struggles of Frederick Douglass, William Lloyd Garrison, Angelina Grimké, Harriet Beecher Stowe and John Brown to end slavery.
Vividly bringing to life the epic struggles of the men and women who fought to end slavery, THE ABOLITIONISTS tells the intertwined stories of Frederick Douglass, William Lloyd Garrison, Angelina Grimké, Harriet Beecher Stowe and John Brown. Fighting body and soul, they led the most important civil rights crusade in American history. What began as a pacifist movement became a fiery and furious struggle that forever changed the nation. Black and white, Northerners and Southerners, poor and wealthy, these passionate anti-slavery activists tore the nation apart in order to form a more perfect union. The series, which tells the story largely through period drama narrative, airs 150 years after the Emancipation Proclamation took effect in January 1863.
Part One: 1820s-1838
Ch. 5.1 – Tuesday, January 8 at 8:00 pm; Sunday, January 13 at 10:00 pm
Meet five influential characters in the abolitionist movement.
Shared beliefs about slavery bring together Angelina Grimké, the daughter of a Charleston plantation family, who moves north and becomes a public speaker against slavery; Frederick Douglass, a young slave who becomes hopeful when he hears about the abolitionists; William Lloyd Garrison, who founds the newspaper The Liberator, a powerful voice for the movement; Harriet Beecher Stowe, whose first trip to the South changes her life and her writing; and John Brown, who devotes his life to the cause. The abolitionist movement, however, is in disarray and increasing violence raises doubts about the efficacy of its pacifist tactics.
Part Two: 1838-1854
Ch. 5.1 – Tuesday, January 15 at 8:00 pm; Sunday, January 20 at 10:00 pm
See how the activities of the five principals intersect and affect the anti-slavery movement.
Douglass escapes slavery, eventually joining Garrison in the anti-slavery movement. Threatened with capture by his former owner, Douglass flees to England, returning to the U.S. in 1847. He launches his own anti-slavery paper. John Brown meets with Douglass, revealing his radical plan to raise an army, attack plantations and free the slaves. Harriet Beecher Stowe publishes Uncle Tom's Cabin in 1852. A best-seller, and then wildly successful stage play, this influential novel changes the hearts and minds of millions of Americans. The divide between North and South deepens, touching off a crisis that is about to careen out of control.
Part Three: 1854-Emancipation and Victory
Ch. 5.1 – Tuesday, January 22 at 8:00 pm; Sunday, January 27 at 10:00 pm
Examine the forces leading to war and to the ratification of the Thirteenth Amendment.
The battle between pro-slavery and free-soil contingents rises to fever pitch. During his raid on Harpers Ferry, John Brown is captured, then executed, becoming a martyr for the cause. Abraham Lincoln is elected president in 1860. Southern states secede, war breaks out and the conflict unexpectedly drags on. On New Year's Day 1863, it is announced that Lincoln has emancipated the slaves in rebel territory. African-American men may now enlist in the Union forces; two of Douglass' sons go to war. In December 1865, the Thirteenth Amendment is ratified, banning slavery in all states — forever.

The slow death of American manufacturing and the trend toward outsourcing overseas has made it hard to find American-made goods, but not impossible. A host of small businesses are still dedicated to manufacturing goods in America, and, thanks to a few diligent bloggers, they're easier than ever to find.
"Buying Made in USA is not just a passing trend. It truly is something we as consumers, business owners and even government can do to support small to mid-size businesses," said Julie Reiser, president and co-founder of Made in USA Certified, which audits supply chains for businesses that want their products to bear their seal.
"Small businesses are responsible for two out of every three new jobs created in the U.S. We need these small to mid-size businesses to flourish and grow as they are our innovators, our makers and job creators. Making it in America, supporting U.S. manufacturing and buying American is one thing we can all do today to help keep the American dream alive and well."

It means only the WHC, divas and us belt could potentially be defended at SS meaning a bunch of cheap storylines for filler matches.The booking for the 5 v 5 match is lazyness, just took 75% of the competitors from HIAC and put them on teams... someone give creative a medal for lazyness.

The new Cherokee has styling that is unmistakable Jeep, but has much more visual impact and personality, compared to the classic, boxy Cherokee of old. Jeep claims the new Cherokee will be the most capable off-road performer in its class- a claim that few would dispute based on the Jeep?s longtime image as a go-anywhere, do- anything sport utility.
A 3.2-liter V6 will supply power to the Cherokee mated to a new 9-speed ZF automatic transmission. Jeep has emphasized the fuel economy improvement the new Cherokee will enjoy over the older generation model, which was bigger and heavier. It?s expected that gas mileage will be as much as 45% better than what the original mid-size sport-ute racked up before being discontinued.
The new 2014 Jeep Cherokee should be joining the rest of the Jeep lineup at dealer showrooms later this year.

January 15 and 16 of 2012 shall be two beautiful days of our celebration of unity in our community because we have joined hands to form a cross to help make positive changes in our civil rights movement. We have marched forward to a brighter future as Mississippians and Americans.
We owe much to another courageous American, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. who had "a dream of a promised land from the mole hills of Mississippi" to this new day. We honor his real birthday, and we celebrate his national holiday this weekend. May I take you back to another January of 1998? Let's look at a painting I did on an 18X24 canvas. I invite you to experience what I saw that day on the streets of my hometown, Starkville.
Hear the marching footsteps of people as they begin marching across Highway 82, later renamed Martin Luther King Drive, toward Main Street. See the movement in the painting. Can you actually feel the excitement as people shuffle their feet toward the Oktibbeha County Courthouse? Suddenly the lone voice of a man walking along begins the song "We Shall Overcome." Then another man loudly says, "Amen!" There is the vibration of change in the air.
This early afternoon was cloudy and cold. We felt that it might rain. You shivered, and your bones felt like this was a typical January day. Deep in your bones, another shiver came over your body as you marched to the rhythm of the loud voices singing. Behind you there was a soft, soothing hum instead of the words of the two songs. Your eyes glanced to the gray sky, and you saw slightly the sun changing the gray to a light blue. Maybe the sunshine will decide to open her eyes and wink at us after all, making our march down Main Street brighter.
Look at the faces of each person I captured on my canvas. Each is a person has a name, and each is important as he or she makes a contribution as an American. Look at the short, medium and tall people. See their expressions of happiness, sadness and even surprise as we march along together.
Look at all the colors of their clothes. The entire painting looks as if I have taken every color from my palette and thrown it on my canvas. An artist uses a palette filled with squirts of paint to mix and place the colors on the canvas. A palette I use is usually an oval, thin piece of wood with an another oval hole to place your thumb to hold the top part your arm, which becomes a makeshift table to dip in the paint placing the colors onto the canvas.
See the shades of red, green, orange, purple, brown, blue, turquoise, pink, gold, white, black, gray, stripes and plaids. Look at pigtails, straight hair, curly hair, lots of hair and bald heads. See hats, caps and bare heads. Look down at feet wearing dress shoes, loafers, tennis shoes and boots. It is as if the whole world is walking, singing and praying for change in Starkville and our nation.
Now look closely at the beginning marchers, and you will find your friends and neighbors. Squint and see the ROTC Starkville High School cadet in his green uniform. His has shiny black boots and proudly wears white gloves with his military cap. Our American flag blows gently in the wind. The colors give a bright and hopeful feeling while swaying in the winter's breeze.
Justin Issac, a young boy, carries the framed portrait of Martin Luther King tightly, and his aunt Dorothy Issac, a leader for today and every MLK march for years, is dressed in her 1998 red tee shirt walking behind her nephew. My daughter, Elizabeth Davis Williams, wife of Stephen and mother of 6-year-old Mallory Ann and 8-month-old Elle, became the second generation to march with me that day. I am proud that Elizabeth joined me that day as mother and daughter.
See: Ava Moore; Dr. Douglas Conner, a leader for many years in Starkville's Civil Rights Movement; Dr. John Marszelek, a MSU historian and head of the MSU U.S. Grant Collection at Mitchell Memorial Library, and Jeanne Marszelek, his wife; Father Michael O'Brien, priest at St. Joseph Catholic Church; Monica Banks, Oktibbeha County Chancery Clerk for many terms; Brother Rogers, a lifetime civil rights leader with the federal John C. Stennis program; Pattye Archer, former editor of Starkville Daily News and now with the Mitchell Memorial Library; Lawyer and alderman Roy A. Perkins; Methodist minister Rev. Bernard Crump; Henry Lee Issac; Assistant Police Chief John Outlaw stands on the far right watching and keeping us in line.
Look closely at the child catching a ride on the back of his daddy's shoulders. He will be the next generation to march when he gets older. The torch will pass to him. Look for the homemade tiny banner, and you'll see the powerful words "God loves us all" carried by a marcher high on a stick that towers above. We keep singing "We Shall Overcome."
We have come by viewing my painting from 1998 to 2011. The first year I marched was 1995, and for the next seven years I marched every year.
Three years ago, I returned to participate in the MLK March, and this time I marched with my three-year-old granddaughter, Mallory Ann, who made the third generation of women in my family to march. Participating in the MLK march has been one of the highlights of my life.
We celebrate the progress we have made in Starkville as we think of the African-Americans who serve our city and county government. We have a larger number of African-American students enrolled at MSU than at any of the state's major universities. We work to attract more minority professors to MSU. Integration went smoothly.
We are proud that we have equal rights. Life has improved in the last 20 years. We can all sit in restaurants and enjoy meals together. We can go to the same theaters and enjoy a movie together.
Last year Frank was invited to be on a panel discussion in the auditorium at the Leo Seal addition of the College of Business & Industry at MSU. We watched a documentary about Civil Rights in Mississippi, Alabama and the South. I lived through the Civil Rights Movement in Mississippi.
When the documentary was over we cried because it was all true. My people have lived here for eight generations, and Frank grew up in the tiny town of Money in the heart of the Mississippi Delta. The documentary hurt us that night.
We wiped tears from our eyes and walked into the sunlight right before night had begun to fall on the brick walkway in front of Perry Cafeteria. We ran into three beautiful MSU female students.
They were from different tiny Mississippi towns, and they were in the College of Engineering. Frank and I never had class with an African-American student in school because we went to school before integration. Change happened, and we are a better nation.
It took in 1995 a breakfast served by the Race Relations Team of the Starkville Chamber of Commerce, and it took an invitation from Father Michael O'Brien, Priest of St. Joseph's Catholic Church for everyone in our community to share a breakfast with The Knights of Columbus preparing the breakfast. 100 guests showed up, and look now at the annual MLK Breakfast at the Colvard Student Union. There will not be an empty seat as MSU President Mark Keenum welcomes us to break bread together.
Tommy Stevenson, head of Diversity and Equity, will head up this breakfast. Our Greater Starkville Development Partnership joins MSU to make this annual event possible. My favorite Mississippi governor, William Winter, will deliver the address for the breakfast. What an iconic gentleman is Gov. Winter. We are in for a treat to hear him.
The march and the breakfast on Martin Luther King Day in Starkville are our two important traditions.
It took a man named Martin with his non-violent approach to give us change. He gave his life for this cause. We continue to ensure equal rights for all. We have a great Constitution, and all citizens must share the same civil rights in our great nation.
We've come a long way, and we have miles to go before we sleep, as my favorite poet Robert Frost would say.
Fourteen years ago we looked back as we now look forward to a better community. Though we are a tiny southern city, we believe that in Christ there is no east or west, in Him no South or North but one great fellowship of love throughout the world.
Dear God, may we continue to keep within our hearts and environs unity, and today we join hands to form a cross. If you turn this painting upside down, see and feel the heavy cross that we all bear for our fellow man. Amen.

5.0 Mustang & Super FordsCar Reviews
2011 Ford Mustang 302 - Inside The Boss
How a dedicated team brought forth the greatest Mustang ever built
Imagine you are a Ford engineer and you've been hammering for months on the new 5.0-liter Coyote engine for the '11 Mustang GT. Management ordained that the new V-8 must make 400 hp, the job has to be done in a third less time than normal, costs are limited because this is a high-volume engine for the populist Mustang GT, and you and your team have been working overtime coaxing all the power and efficiency possible from the new design.
Daunting, it would seem.
Then management tells you to also create a special version of your new engine that makes at least 25 to 30 additional horsepower for the upcoming Boss 302. And hurry it up!
Would you feel a little overwhelmed?
Thankfully the Coyote team didn't mentally run off a butte because most of them segued into the RoadRunner team--what's faster than a Coyote?--to produce the 444hp Coyote derivative that powers the scintillating new Boss 302.
Furthermore, their compatriots in Vehicle Dynamics logged endless hours at the test track developing aggressive new suspension and steering packages, the calibrators worked the engine management to its limits, and the folks over at Ford Racing demanded to go professional racing with the new engine a year before customers could buy it!
That, in a lug nut, was how the Boss 302 came into the world.
This is an inside look at the process and resulting hardware. As with our major story on the Coyote 5.0 in the March 2010 issue, this in-depth look at the Boss 302 development was possible only with the extensive cooperation of the engineering teams that developed the Boss 302, an indulgence we at 5.0 Mustangs & Super Fords gratefully acknowledge.
Fundamentally the RoadRunner engine is an extension of the Coyote. By early 2009, the Coyote was prototyping, and as Ford V-8 Engine Programs Manager Mike Harrison noted, the Coyote "really had people's juices flowing, really had people interested in putting a Boss 302 program together."
So, while the Coyote had a head start, the RoadRunner's race had just begun. The idea was to extend the already state-of-the-art, not-yet-released '11 Mustang GT into a world-beating performance car channeled from the sharpest performing Mustang of all time, the legendary Boss 302. That meant the best road-holding possible, combined with an engine that lived for the lower right corner of the tach. For a performance target, Ford picked the BMW M3.
Mike explains how it got underway: "Jim Farley, who's a big Mustang nut, started pushing on the PD [product development] team and the marketing teams and the management to really start thinking about doing a Boss 302."
Photo GalleryView Photo Gallery
"We were still in shellshock from having to deliver 400 hp out of the base 5.0 liter, so we weren't quite sure at that stage of what the performance targets should be, so they just kind of did a historical look back at the old Boss 302, and obviously it was naturally aspirated. It was a bit of a parts-bin engine--right?--and it was put together by a bunch of guys who were racers... ," Mike added. "And we kind of approached it in the same way. The team that we engaged to do the planning work and then execute it were all guys that were into performance. Even the base 5.0-liter guys--but even more so with the Boss 302 guys--were into racing Mustangs and that sort of thing."
"I talked to some of the Roush guys, [including] Bob Corn," Mike continued. "He was one of the original Roush guys. He worked for Ford as an engineer back in the day, back in the late '60s, early '70s [1962-1981--Ed.], and he was one of the people that was involved in the original Boss 302. I've had an on-going dialogue with him because, you know, he's a neat guy and I just love talking to him about the old stuff."

UFC 156: Dana White Slams Tito Ortiz, Says Ronda Rousey 'Smokes' His MMA Career | Bleacher Report
Tito Ortiz came out the other day and said, "What has Ronda Rousey [done]? Ronda Rousey hasn't even proven herself yet. She hasn't proven herself." What the f---! Tito was a junior college wrestler. [Rousey's] an Olympic-level athlete who won a f---ing medal at the Olympics. Ronda Rousey's first nine fights have gone nine minutes and 28 seconds. Tito Ortiz's first nine fights went 40 minutes and 45 seconds.
What the f--- are you talking about, Tito? She blows you out of the water when it comes to accomplishing things at the same point in your age and career. She smokes you. She buries you. She's in another universe. I get it--he's a manager now and he's got to get out there and say some goofy s---. But c'mon. Do your homework, Tito.
Edit: Sorry for writing 2 times that name. I am ashamed of myself.

Programming Help!
The following is for NXT-G...
Is it possible to remove a letter or section from a phrase, like an opposite to the "Text" block? If so, how?
Also, is it possible to view all the files on the NXT? Again, if so, how?
Also, my computer crashes everytime I attempt to use a MyBlock. I can successfully create and edit a MyBlock, but if I attempt to drag it out onto the work area, the software crashes. This gets annoying being the type that overuses them. I can't stand the huge programs I'm forced to write now! The next thing I'm going to try is to create a new user and see what happens.

In regard to your computer crashing because of My Blocks, there is a problem with My Blocks and text data. If you create a My Block with a data hub and wire in text data, that can cause NXT-G to crash. Not sure if this is your problem, however.

What is the MyBlocks supposed to do? E-mail me or get on MSN a bit more often so maybe I can help you!

- Robolab 2.9 said...
Yes! That's my problem! Except, when that occured the first time, any MyBlock crashes the computer after that.
I have several MyBlocks that give me this problem.
InRange.rbt - keeps a number in range
WriteText.rbt - clears a certain spot on the screen and writes an inputed letter in that spot
ButtonInput.rbt - takes input from the NXT Buttons and add/subtract from a variable
WriteLetter.rbt - writes a certain letter depending on the value of the variable
I'll send 'em to you on MSN.
- May 27, 2007, 12:22:00 AM
To stop NXT-G from crashing whenever you use any My Block, you may need to go in and manually remove the My Blocks you have created that use text data. If you enter a program, select "Edit --> Manage Custom Palette" from the menu bar. You can delete My Blocks from there.
This problem--My Blocks inability to accept text data--will probably be addressed with the 1.1 release of NXT-G in August.

Others have addressed the issue of wiring text into MyBlocks being a current problem, but a couple of other points. First, that's a problem with the editor, not the compilier (I've compiled program using MyBlocks with text input, but is very difficult and tricky). Second, the idea of a block to produce substrings is a great one... one that has already been asked & answered by Jason King with his String Manipulation blocks:
As to viewing all the files, you can get very close from the NXT-G environment: open the NXT window, and when viewing the memory on the NXT brick look for a little check box near the upper right. Check it, and it will show you the normally "hidden" system and sound files.

I guess I didn't get my point across. I meant how to view all the files on the NXT screen.
- May 30, 2007, 6:54:00 AM
- Brian Davis said...
Ah. You can't :-).
To refine that, I've yet to figure out a way to do so. For instance, there seems to be no way to view or BT-mail text files (.txt) to other NXT bricks, which is a real shame for some of the stuff I'm trying. Additionally, I've yet to find a way under NXT-G to interrogate the file system so a running program knows what's on the brick. There are tricks you can use to solve some of these issues, but they seem to be rooted in the FW (which drives the NXT menu system), not NXT-G (which simple runs on top of the on-the-brick FW).

Then what's this: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=2084805

- Brian Davis said...
That's a series of three programs, to demonstrate ways to open, read, write, and otherwise manipulate files on the NXT, from within a running NXT-G program. You can certainly use files from NXT-G (it's something I very commonly do, for a lot of things), but there are also file types on the NXT brick that are not normally exposed on the on-brick menu system (like .ric files, the ones that hold the image data, or .txt files, the text files created by the File Access blocks in NXT-G).
I'm beginning to suspect I still really don't understand the question.
Brian Davis
- May 30, 2007, 12:15:00 PM
- Robolab 2.9 said...
So, for example, I create a bunch of txt files with the file access block. Is it possible to see the names of them in a list?
- May 31, 2007, 4:10:00 AM
- Brian Davis said...
From within a running NXT-G program, if you know the name of a .txt file, you can access it with the File Access block. However, there is nothing like a "Catalog Access" block that returns a series of text strings that are the names of files on the NXT. If there is a limited list to choose form, you could try to read from a certain file... and if you got back a valid return, that file exists, while if you got back an error (there is an error output plug), that file doesn't exist.

Are there any languages for the NXT that do let you get a complete list of files?
I am trying to do a similar thing with .ric files in NXC

What do you think your heads flow right now? Or better yet, how much do you think your heads need to flow to make the power you want? Well, here's the ugly truth. Right now, your heads probably don't flow enough, but you still might need smaller heads anyway. Confused? I thought so. Let me explain.
On average, a properly set-up engine can make about 2 horsepower for every 1 cfm of dry intake port airflow. However, that does not automatically translate to "bolt on better-flowing heads and make more power." I've tested many different size engines with many different sets of cylinder heads and found that when switching to larger cylinder heads, the torque lost on the low end compared to the power gained at the top end might hurt overall performance. That's because our vehicles are usually heavy and they don't spend that much time running at the rpm where they make peak horsepower. They do, however, spend lots of time at or below peak torque, which is where I've seen great power gains come from running smaller heads. And what do I mean by smaller heads? I'm referring mostly to the intake ports.
A run-of-the-mill stock iron small-block's intake ports might measure around 150cc. A good stock head, such as GM's iron Vortec castings, will measure around 160cc, but can make more power. A well-designed aftermarket head will typically measure from 170-200cc and will be capable of even better gains. They all get bigger from here. There are small-block race heads out there with 280-plus-cc intake ports and bigblocks way over 400cc, but those are way out of our league for real street power.
CFM And CC
It's important to understand the difference between cfm and cc when talking heads. As on carbs, cfm is a measurement of dry airflow in cubic feet per minute, usually recorded at a standard 28 inches (water) vacuum (aka depression). It's important to mention the vacuum, the medium used for testing, and at which point the airflow is measured, because more vacuum or a different medium may alter flow. The industry standard for comparison has been a 28-inch depression of water, not mercury, so that's where you should look when shopping for heads.
This topic actually gets a lot more complicated, involving things like 45ccbarometric pressure, temperature, the specific gravity of the medium used in the tests, and even the test equipment itself. But don't worry about all those things for now. Just try to compare flow figures at equal depressions, and hopefully from the same flow bench, otherwise those results might not help.
The cc measurement is simply a volume measurement expressed in cubic centimeters as measured from a graduated burette. When comparing cylinder heads, it's important to understand these two figures, because one or the other can make or break power.
Think of a long 1-inch-diameter tube. Now take something like a leaf blower and try to push as much air as possible through that long, skinny tube. At the other end of the tube there's not going to be too much air pressure, is there? That's because most of it will get blown around the tube instead of going through it. Now take that tube, shorten it, and make it 2 inches wider. At triple the original width, you'll get a lot more air through it, and you'll feel much more pressure at the other end. Next, make that tube 100 times wider and blow the same amount of air into it. Guess what? You'll find the pressure drops at its other end. Weird, you say? No, because as the tube's cross-section increases, it gets harder to maintain a constant velocity through it. The smaller the tube, the harder it is to force a large volume of air through it. The bigger the tube, the less pressure it'll blow.

In the mid-to-late '90s, thousands of Cuban refugees attempted to cross the Florida Straits by whatever means available--small boats, homemade rafts and inner tubes. Only one in four rafters made it to U.S. shores, with tens of thousands perishing at sea. A volunteer group based in Miami called "Brothers to the Rescue" was formed to patrol the Straits in small civilian aircraft, offering aid to rafters. On Feb. 24, 1996, in the midst of heightening political unrest in Cuba and in the wake of a revised U.S. policy toward Cuban refugees, the Cuban government authorized two military fighter jets to attack and destroy two of the volunteer planes. Cristina Khuly, a first-generation Cuban-American whose uncle was among the four victims, mined 10 years of research, government documents, transcripts and never-before seen news footage of Fidel Castro to supplement hundreds of hours of original interviews in recounting the events leading up to and following the shoot down. Among the film's most extraordinary moments are the use of actual voice recordings from the MiG pilots and their controllers in Havana, and the cockpit recordings from the doomed Cessna planes, edited to re-enact the shoot down itself. The result is an unprecedented and compelling re-telling of a tragedy that is as relevant and provocative today as it was more than a decade ago.

BONIFAY — Relay For Life of Holmes County's main event is coming to bring an exciting conclusion to this year's relay efforts from 6 p.m. on April 19 to 6 a.m. on April 20 and will be held at Memorial Park in Bonifay.
Kim Castriotta with the Florida Division of the American Cancer Society and the Bonifay Fire and Rescue and Holmes County EMS, Hose and Stretcher Gang, Team Captain Greg Barton were at the Bonifay City Council's April 8 meeting to talk about the upcoming Relay For Life of Bonifay Event and to promote Paint the Town Purple for the week prior to the event.
"The residents and participants have been wonderful and enthusiastic, warm and caring, and a lot is going on," said Castriotta. "One of the committee members has asked about painting the town purple and she had said she hasn't heard of one being down here before. What it does is that we ask for someone donate big purple bows, in some places it's wooden purple people waving on street corners and what it does is peak people's curiosity about why there's so much purple."
The Council agreed to allow for the purple ribbons and bows to be put on Bonifay street poles and explained that it would be up to the store owners to give them permission to use their store fronts for purple ribbons and signage.
She informed them that the main event for the Relay For Life of Bonifay will be held from 6 p.m. on Friday, April 19 to 6 a.m. on Saturday, April 20 at Memorial Field in Bonifay and that there will be a Survivor's Banquet to honor those who are fighting or have fought cancer, Survivor Victory Lap and Caregiver Lap in honor of survivors and caregivers, live entertainment, Ms. Relay Pageant, booths, venders, games and much more.
Visitors are welcomed to participate and participation is free.
"We'd really like it if you would come out and support the event and have some fun," said Castriotta. "It's going to be a great event with a lot of really great ideas pouring in. It's going to be very exciting and we hope to see you there."

My Dog Goes Bonkers For These Treats
By CBryant
from Forty Fort, PA
About Me Long-time Pet Owner
Comments about Only Natural Pet HealthTreats Poultry Crispies:
I bought these for a doggie Easter egg hunt and the dogs loved them. The size is right, they require a bit of effort to chew them, so my dog is slower to eat them and that makes me very happy. Love that they are turkey since my dog has beef allergies.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Tasty treat with healthy ingredients
By Marietta
from PA and FL
My dog really likes these treats. They are very hard, though. She is a Shih Tzu with a small mouth so I crush them into smaller bites for her. I'm sure a larger dog would have no problem.
By kwood411
from Roanoke, VA
I bought these treats for my cats in the past but was told that they had to change vendors on the Chicken Crispies, and the new vendor was unable to provide the same, smaller formula that they used to have. The treats are HUGE and do not break apart easily. The older version was perfect for a small cat. The new ones are meant for large dogs only - not a cat. In fact, the picture of a cat shouldn't even be on the package. I will never buy these again.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Healthy treat
from Pennsylvania
I like that these treats have healthy ingredients and my dog loves the taste. These will be an item that I will always purchase.

Disappointed in the changes
By kittydiva
from Anchorage, AK
My kitties used to LOOOOOOVE the Chicken Crispies original!! There was no way I could say enough good things about them, as my furry friends are SO, SO PICKY. I was cautiously optimistic about the new formulation....especially since these had been unavailable for MONTHS. I ordered three bags, and man, what a disappointment. They still seem to enjoy the taste, but only one of them can really eat them now. They're MUCH larger and VERY hard -- truly sized for dogs with good, strong teeth. So now I have to take the time to crush them, which results in pieces that are either rough and jagged, or pulverized to dust. Very sadly will not be ordering them again, thus ending the era of healthy kitty treats in our home. :-(

Poultry Crispies not the same as old!
By 4happysmalldogs
from Sacramento, CA
A true disappointment. We received this product in hopes of the same tiny cookies as before. They were NOT. The new product is a hard & large roll that is impossible for my small old dog to eat...and I had ordered 3 bags! Truly sad, after waiting so many months due to back order. This new product is like trying to feed a 3" long, thick hard log to a Yorkie.
My 3 dogs love this treat but...
By gail girl
from Virginia Beach, VA
I have whippets and prefer to give them small pieces of treats when training. These treats are impossible to break.

The new formulation is a huge disappoint
By Sylvia for Cocoa
This item was reformulated and it went from great to horrible. My dog loved the old formulation, but the new formulation is NOTHING like the old one in terms of size, smell, and I would say taste but my dog refused to even lick this item.On the plus side, I did get a 100% refund.
Merchant response: We are sorry to dissapoint you, but we could not find another vendor that could replicate the original treat.
Dogs don't like them
By Opal
from Denver
The dogs will take these, but then they drop them and look at me with that "don't you have something better?" expression. When I don't give in, they grudgingly pick them up and walk off. I suspect I will find them hidden all over the house when I do my deep fall cleaning.I wanted training treats and not only are these not high-value enough to work in this way, they are too hard to break up into smaller pieces. Very expensive for treats they don't like.
Merchant response: We'd be happy to help find you another treat designed for training?
New Formula NOT Suitable for Cats
By Yvonne
from Virginia
I ordered the three pack of Turkey Crispies for my three cats because the last time I ordered them, the cats loved them so much. I agree with the other recent review that this new formula is awful. The treats are large and very hard. Entirely too large for a cat. And they are too hard to break into small pieces. I couldn't even cut one into small pieces with a sharp knife because it was so hard. I have no idea how even a large dog can eat these without breaking a tooth. Highly disappointed in the new formula. I will return them promptly.

Tavaris Tate is a good teammate.
The former Starkville High School track athlete, who has now taken his talents to Mississippi State, said it's important to give a strong effort for everyone on a team.
The emphasis on that will be a major focus as the Bulldogs participate in the NCAA Championships in Des Moines, Iowa, this week.
Tate is motivated by the fact this will be the final MSU meet for teammate, fellow sprinter and senior Emmanuel Mayers.
"We know a lot of the help comes from Manny," Tate said. "We understand that every time we touch the track, we have to run for each other. We might not meet the expectations of others, but as long as we meet the expectations of ourselves when we touch the track, that's all that matters to us."
One of the goals for the Bulldogs is to support each other on the track.
Mayers said teammates try to "uplift" each other which helps them "step up and rise to the occasion."
MSU track coach Steve Dudley doesn't want any of his athletes to be on an island emotionally.
"When somebody gets down, you've got to pick that one up," Dudley said. "We don't want anyone to stay down."
In a sport that depends on individual skill, the relays do introduce the team aspect.
Tate participates in the 4x100 and 4x400 relay teams for the Bulldogs at the NCAAs.
Even though he did not qualify for any individual sprints, Tate is committed to helping teammates finish as high as possible in relays.
"Things happen throughout the season, but being able to complete a 4x400 and make it to nationals is basically a big accomplishment," Tate said. "I won't hang my head or anything (about not qualifying individually). It's just a motivational factor for me because I'll have Olympic Trials in a couple of weeks.
"I have to do what I have to do for my team on the relays as if I had to do it in the open events. My main focus going into nationals is leave it out there on the track because that's all that matters to me and the team to give it all I have."
As the lead leg of MSU's fifth-ranked 4x400 relay, Tate has already enjoyed some good moments. He helped the 4x400 team to the Southeastern Conference outdoor championship in 2011 and anchored the quartet to victory at the SEC/Big 10 Challenge this season.
Tate has experienced his share of injuries and suffered a foot sprain during the Jace Lacoste Invitational back in April.
Going into the NCAAs, Tate won't try to focus on any lingering pain because he wants to give his best effort for the team.
"The Lord has blessed me and I have dull moments in my foot once in a while, but I try to stay mentally prepared," Tate said. "It's not about the physical because everybody hurts. I've got to do this for my team even if I'm hurt, because we're one heartbeat."
Tate once again will take the support of his hometown to the big stage and that thought gives him a lift no matter where he's competing.
"I understand this is home and where my support comes from," Tate said. "To understand I have a lot of people backing me in everything I do, that's what gives me the drive and motivation to go further than what I do. I really appreciate everybody here at home supporting me and Mississippi State as well."View more articles in:

Yeah I'm just wondering because native video playback either off hard drive or streaming depends on the codecs your console supports, not your PC. The only time PC codecs matter is if you require to transcode a video on your PC first before streaming it.
Not quite correct. Many streaming programs also transcode in realtime as you are watching the video on your 360 (or PS3 for that matter). In those cases, it IS the codecs on your computer that matter, not the codec support on your console.
