Kent State's Fashion School Spring Fashion Show Highlights Cream of the Crop Design Students, April 27Posted Apr. 9, 2013
Kent State University's Shannon Rodgers and Jerry Silverman School of Fashion Design and Merchandising will celebrate its 30th anniversary during the 2013 Fashion School Fashion Show, "FS2" on Saturday, April 27, at 1 p.m. and 6 p.m. at the E. Turner Stump Theatre in the Music and Speech Building on 1325 Theatre Drive at the Kent Campus.
Tickets for the 1 p.m. matinee are $40 per person and $65 per person for the 6 p.m. awards show. Tickets are available for purchase by calling the Performing Arts Box Office at 330-672-ARTS (2787) or visiting the box office weekdays 11 a.m.-5 p.m. or online at www.tix.com. The box office accepts Visa, MasterCard and Discover, personal check and cash.
Each year, fashion design students at Kent State create their final collections. After critique by industry professionals, the best collections are chosen and shown in the annual spring fashion show produced by the fashion show management and production teams. This year, 25 student designers will have the opportunity to show their collections at the fashion show.
This year's industry critics include fashion designer Sam Shipley of Shipley & Halmos; Michael Babb of Kohl's; Erich Biehle, a former textile designer for multiple couture designers; Kay Unger, CEO of Kay Unger Design and The Kay Unger Family Foundation; Sacha Brown, educational initiatives manager at the Council of Fashion Designers of America; Kent State Fashion School alumnus Michael Cunningham, head designer of Joan Vass; and alumna Allison Sires, owner/designer of Thomas Sires. These critics offer advice to the designers along the way to improve on their concepts and designs for the final critique.
During the fashion show, an industry professional is recognized and inducted into the fashion school's Hall of Fame. This year, the fashion school will induct American fashion designer Yeohlee Teng. Teng moved to New York from Malaysia to study fashion at the Parsons School of Design. She has worked primarily in New York City and established her own fashion house, YEOHLEE Inc., in 1981. Teng believes that "clothes have magic." She dresses the "urban nomad," a term she coined for her fall 1997 collection, defining a lifestyle that requires clothing that works on a variety of practical and psychological levels. She is a master of design management and believes in the efficiency of year-round, seasonless clothes. Teng's designs have earned a permanent place in the Costume Collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where the late Richard Martin, then chief curator, called her "one of the most ingenious makers of clothing today." Some designers previously inducted include Dana Buchman, Leonardo Ferragamo, Judith Lieber, Oscar de la Renta and others.
The Fashion School at Kent State was created in 1983, and in 28 years, it has grown to become one of the strongest fashion schools in the United States. Fashionista.com recently rated Kent State's Fashion School as third in the country and 13th in the world. The Ohio Board of Regents has endorsed Kent State's Fashion School as a Center of Excellence at Kent State and in the state of Ohio. As a member of the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA), the school is also recognized as one of the top fashion schools in the United States. The school, under the direction of J.R. Campbell, aspires to be the best American fashion school by providing a comprehensive American university experience, a forward-looking and rigorous curriculum in fashion, an aggressive approach to the use of digital technologies, and access to a broad range of international and study-away experiences.

Foam Rollers
Foam rollers are inexpensive, yet highly effective tools that relieve soft tissue pain and muscle pain. Athletes often use them to break up scar tissue and painful adhesions that develop after years of workouts. Using foam rollers is similar to getting a massage from a bodywork professional, but you can use the rollers on your own at home or in a gym.
There are five general types of foam rollers. A Grid roller is firm on the inside, yet has a soft foam outer layer. This type of roller is best for serious massage work for injuries. Molded foam rollers form after tiny beads compress to form a solid log. These rollers are known for their durability. EVA foam rollers are easy to carry and keep their shape. They also last a long time and provide a lot of pressure. A high density foam roller is very firm and best suited to serious athletes, because it really works out the muscles intensely. Finally, the low-density foam roller is inexpensive, but it doesn't work out the muscles as much as the other types.

Like everything else in life, our quest for performance requires that we accept the good with the bad. Case in point: building or improving the performance of your small-block Chevy. The good side of the equation is that the small-block has been around since the mid '50s and, as such, has a tremendous following both in terms of enthusiasts and the performance industry. The benefit of the popularity is that there is an abundance of performance hardware available both directly from Chevrolet in the form of their GMPP catalog as well as from the aftermarket. The availability means that we have a great many choices when it comes time to build or upgrade our existing powerplant.
The downside to the abundance of aftermarket availability means that not only do we have enough choices, but often times we have too many. By this we mean that the vast array of different manufacturers and associated components can be nearly overwhelming. Which heads go with which cams and why can't someone go to the trouble of assembling the various accessory components required to duplicate the advertised test results?
Well, fellow enthusiasts, TFS responded with not one, but with a number of different performance packages that are designed to take the guesswork out of building a small-block Chevy. The TFS small-block Chevy engine kits are available in power ranges from mild to wild. In performance terms, the mild-to-wild designation translates into power numbers ranging from 350 hp to over 500.
Not surprisingly, the power range offered by the various TFS kits covers the vast majority of street machine buildups. Sure, we all want to brag about having 600hp small-blocks, but the reality is that short of forced induction, not many street small-blocks can achieve that power level with any kind of streetability. TFS took this fact into account when designing these engine kits, as they offer 18 degree cylinder heads that will produce a great deal more power, but not many daily drivers will require the kind of flow offered by the race heads. For most of us, all we want (or need) is a good set of performance aluminum heads and matching cam to go with a four-barrel carb and dual-plane intake. Such a combination should produce gobs of horsepower and torque combined with thousands and thousands of trouble-free miles.
We wanted to put one of these kits to the test, so we immediately contacted Trick Flow Specialties. The highlight of the supplied engine kit was naturally the TFS 23 degree aluminum cylinder heads. Right off the bat, the aluminum heads offered a performance gain by reducing the curb weight compared to a set of traditional cast-iron heads. Those few enthusiasts who still cling to the notion that cast-iron heads are somehow stronger or in some way superior to aluminum heads should join the rest of us here in reality. Aluminum heads offer nothing but advantages in weight, reduced detonation and repairability compared to the old-tech iron heads, to say nothing of the superior port and chamber designs that greatly improve power potential. Even the very best fuelie, camel-back or turbo heads are no match for a set of off-the-shelf 23 degree TFS aluminum heads. Cylinder head port design has come a long way since the introduction of the small-block, even since the musclecar era. It should come as no surprise that a modern, computer-designed aluminum head can out-perform a set of the early GM performance castings, to say nothing of a set of the more pedestrian stockers.
According to the TFS literature, the requirements for achieving the desired power results from any of its engine kits required only a few simple items. Naturally one of those requirements was a suitable 350 Chevy (or stroker variant) short-block. The other important items included a Holley (or equivalent) performance four-barrel carburetor and a matching four-barrel intake manifold. The size of the carburetor and specific intake manifold depended on your chosen power output. TFS specified a dual-plane Edelbrock Performer intake and a 600-cfm Holley carb for the lower performance 350hp kit, but stepped up the induction system to a 750 Holley double-pumper and a Performer RPM Air Gap or Victor Jr., depending on the exact power level.
In each case, TFS specified a camshaft tailored to work with the cylinder heads and induction system to produce the desired power level. Remember, it is important to tailor the cam timing, induction system and cylinder head flow (and port volume) to work together to produce optimum power. The wrong choice on just one component can literally ruin a perfectly good buildup. This is why matched systems like the engine kit from TFS make so much sense.
For our needs, we chose the Pro Street Engine Kit designed to produce 445 hp and 405 lb-ft of torque (according to the specs supplied by Trick Flow). As indicated, this included the impressive TFS 23 degree performance aluminum heads. According to TFS, the 23 degree small-block heads flowed over 250 cfm on the intake and nearly 190 cfm on the exhaust. These flow figures jump up by 3 to 6 cfm if you opted for the optional CNC combustion chambers, which we did not. These are pretty impressive figures for intake and exhaust ports that measure 195 cc and 75 cc, respectively. Of course, it is possible to greatly improve the flow rate of the heads with additional porting (TFS now offers CNC versions of the 23 degree heads), but we wanted to check out the results of the as-cast heads as delivered by TFS. Check out the supplied airflow data on page 96 for a complete rundown on the flow specs for the TFS aluminum heads.

The Grand Turismo is one of the most iconic cars in existence. It will turn more heads that possibly even the most expensive autos in the world. Styled by master design house Pinifarina, the Grand Tursimo is arguably the most alluring grand touring car in production. This jewel of manufacturing is available in three different trim levels: Base (though for this model, even the base model is fully appointed) S, and S automatic. The S trim add 10 percent higher damping rates to the already stiff suspension and offer a small shift in front to rear weight bias, which in S trim is now 47% front / 53% rear. This coupe is powered by either a 4.2 liter or a 4.7 liter V-8. Both are sourced from Ferrari. The 4.2 liter puts 405 horsepower and 339 ft.- lbs. of torque through a six speed automatic transmission. The S model offers the 4.7 liter V-8 which is good for 433 Hp and 361 Ft. Lbs. of torque. The S version puts this to the ground wearing 20 inch wheels and a sport tuned suspension.

The night started out dark inside Humphrey Coliseum and ended even darker on Mississippi State's chance of going 3-0 in the Southeastern Conference.
The Bulldogs (7-8, 2-1) fell to the Alabama Crimson Tide (10-6, 2-1) 75-43 Wednesday night.
The power inside Humphrey Coliseum went out approximately an hour-and-a-half before tipoff. It came back on as the teams were stretching and attempting to shoot at 40 minutes before the start of the game.
Mississippi State was looking to continue its start hot to the conference season. The Bulldogs hadn't started 3-0 in league play since the 2010 campaign.Â
MSU head coach Rick Ray was looking to become the second MSU first-year head coach to start 3-0 in the SEC since 1936 when Frank Carideo accomplished the feat.Â
The 32-point loss was the second largest loss for the Bulldogs in Humphrey Coliseum. A 28-point loss to Florida in 1987 was the second-longest behind a 41-point loss to Vanderbilt in 1993.
"(I'm) disappointed in they way our guys came out and played (Wednesday)," Ray said.
The Bulldogs trailed the Tide 24-22 late in the first half. Alabama took over from there, scoring the last six points in the opening half to take a 30-22 lead at the break.
The Tide came back out on a roll shooting, as they knocked five-straight 3-pointers to take a 45-22 lead. Ray was forced to use two timeouts during Alabama's shooting exhibition.Â
"They made every shot they put out," MSU junior guard Jalen Steele said. "We closed out on them and they still made a shot. We did everything we could and they still made the shots."
MSU went scoreless for 8:42, starting with 4:30 left in the first half. Steele knocked down a basket at the 16:48 mark in the second half to make it 45-24 in favor of Alabama.
MSU opened the game on a 5-2 run after winning the tip. Freshman Bulldog guard Craig Sword knocked down a jumper from the free-throw line for the game's first points. Jalen Steele hit a 3-point basket after Alabama senior guard Andrew Steele made a layup.
Alabama played a full court press for most of the first half and early second half to force Mississippi State into poor decisions.
"We were playing too fast-paced," Jalen Steele said. "They were trying to step our game up . We were going with their flow and we turned the ball over."
Alabama head coach Anthony Grant planned on using pressure going into the game, which he hoped would cause MSU's tempo to speed up.
"I thought the focus for us was defense," Grant said. "I thought coming in we had to focus on the defensive end. We felt like we could have some success pressing and picking the tempo up."
Alabama outscored Mississippi State 38-18 in the paint. The Tide turned 21 Bulldog turnovers into 25 points.
"The defense faltered because we were giving the ball to them," Ray said. "Taking care of the basketball is the most important thing in our defense."
MSU managed to turn 12 Alabama turnovers into 11 points.Â
Alabama had 35 rebounds and 13 offensive boards. They turned those offensive rebounds into 13 second chance points.
"Every second chance shot, they got it," Steele said.
Mississippi State had 23 rebounds, but only managed to pull down eight on the offensive end. The Bulldogs only had two second chance points.
Alabama made 31-of-58 shots for 53.4 percent. It knocked down 8-of-13 3-pointers for 61.5 percent.
Alabama was led by Levi Randolph's 18 points. Rodney Cooper added 17 points. Nick Jacobs had a double-double with 16 points and 11 rebounds. Trevor Lacy finished out the double digit scoring with 11 points.
MSU shot 16-of-45 from field goal range for 35.6 percent. They made only 5-of-18 3-pointers for 27.8 percent.
The Bulldogs were led by freshman guard Fred Thomas. Thomas had 10 points and five rebounds. Sword added nine points and sophomore forward Colin Borchert and Jalen Steele each had five points.
The Bulldogs are back in action Saturday when they travel to Knoxville, Tenn. to take on the Tennessee Volunteers for a 3 p.m. tip. It can be seen on the SEC Network and locally on WCBI.View more articles in:

Sheriff issues more take-home cars
The program came under fire during his last campaign
Thomas Metcalf, a federal employee from Mission Valley, alerted the sheriff's department to one county car he saw regularly in Orange County, where he visits his girlfriend.
Earlier this month, he emailed Gore and other officials about the county-owned car and suggested ways to cut expenses.
Among other things, he suggested reserving their use to emergencies and setting limits on how far employees can commute.
"As a citizen of San Diego, I am very disappointed with the wasteful spending practices and perks that the sheriff allows to happen on the backs of the taxpayers," Metcalf said. "This is not what he promised."
Gore, who is up for re-election next year, said the program pays off because employees are able to store equipment in the trunks and save time responding to cases.
The sheriff also noted that a San Diego officer driving a take-home car was one of the first people on the scene in Lakeside last September, when a suspected child molester shot a sheriff's deputy and sergeant.
"He had his tactical gear with him," Gore said.

Richer women, ladies of the class known as gentry, would also put their babies out to be cared for in the homes of villagers. Claire Tomalin gives a detailed account of this in her biography of Jane Austen, who was fostered in this manner, as were all her siblings, from a few months old until they were toddlers. Tomalin emphasises the emotional distance this created.
Particularly in the case of lump-sum adoptions, it was more profitable for the baby farmer if the infant or child she adopted died, since the small payment could not cover the care of the child for long. Some baby farmers adopted numerous children and then neglected them or murdered them outright (see infanticide). Several were tried for murder, manslaughter, or criminal neglect and were hanged. Margaret Waters (executed 1870) and Amelia Dyer (executed 1896) were two infamous British baby farmers, as were Amelia Sach and Annie Walters (executed 1903). The last baby farmer to be executed in Britain was Rhoda Willis, who was hanged in Wales in 1907. The only woman to be executed in New Zealand, Minnie Dean, was a baby farmer.
Spurred by a series of articles that appeared in the British Medical Journal in 1867, Parliament began to regulate baby-farming in 1872 with the passage of the Infant Life Protection Act. A series of acts passed over the next seventy years, including the Children Act 1908 and the 1939 Adoption of Children (Regulation) Act, gradually placed adoption and foster care under the protection and regulation of the state.
The term has been used to describe the sale of eggs for use in assisted conception, particularly in vitro fertilization.

From the Archives: Creation, Evolution, and Christian Laypeople, Part 1
From 2012: Many secular and many evangelical voices agree on one 'truism'—that if you are an orthodox Christian with a high view of the authority of the Bible, you cannot believe in evolution in any form at all. New Atheist authors such as Richard Dawkins and creationist writers such as Ken Ham seem to have arrived at consensus on this.

John Ortberg Sermon: Does Science Disprove Faith?
All of you who do science, all of you who teach or research or you're involved in engineering or medicine or education, or biology or chemistry or physics—you are doing a noble thing. You are thinking God's thoughts after him. … You are obeying God's command given way back in Genesis to exercise dominion, to learn about, to be curious and discover and steward the earth.

Series: Asa Gray and Charles Darwin Discuss Evolution and Design (5 entries)
Many Christians believe that they face a painful choice-- either life was designed by God or it is an evolutionary product of natural selection. Charles Darwin himself believed in this dichotomy, and people ever since have felt the need to "choose sides". However, looking back at history, we find that one of Darwin's chief scientific colleagues, Asa Gray, did not share this perspective. In this three-part essay, part 1 charts the relationship of Asa Gray and Charles Darwin. Part 2 describes Darwin's struggle with the problem of natural evil and design in nature, and part 3 explores how Asa Gray was able to embrace evolution without rejecting the idea of design.

Our desire to engage in gracious dialogue with fellow believers who reject biological evolution has been receiving increased attention in both the Christian and secular press. More importantly, we are being joined in this reconciling project by our brothers and sisters in Christ who have often been defined primarily as our "opponents".

Mr. Blood: Yeah, we are real fucking funny, right up until you are laying in a pool of your own blood. You want to try and blame us for ICW and HWA's failures? You should be wondering just what kind of strength it took for us to remain standing, and remain champions while everything fell down around us. You boys think a name can give you a good start in this business? You think anyone here gives a flying fuck who your daddy was? All that matters here is how tough you are and from the looks of it, the answer to that question is not fucking very.
Mr. Blood: What you think people are just gonna say "Oh wow, look, Harts, like two or three of them were good once, surely these won't be shit like 80% of the family is? All they see are another couple of bitches, probably whinier than Bret. At the end of the day, you ain't shit. Whereas on the other hand, Black Blooded have proven time and time again why we are the Dominant Predators of this industry. So go ahead, keep running your mouth, because 1 on 1, 2 on 2, or even 3 on 3, there ain't a way in fuck that you boys got a chance against real ass-kickers like us.


text: I've bought into Mousasi for years as well, and I'm glad he will get some recognition during his UFC tenure. His striking is top notch, BJJ game is on point. The more he works on his TDD and his Td (as in the OSP fight), he could be the complete fighter that GSP is. And speaking of which, I remember Mousasi doing a training stint at Tri-Star with GSP before. I hope to see both guys work together more often, as it can expand the skillset of both.

In a child, chicken pox is mild, but much more serious in adults, and potentially fatal to pregnant women and unborn children. In the UK, 90% of adults have natural immunity, and as it's mild the vaccination isn't routine.
Mumps - mild in children, serious in adults.
Measles - avoid at all costs. Get vaccinated. The disease can be devastating, even fatal, and can also cause long term problems in the form of encephalitis (brain infection) that appears 10 years later.

In the 1980s, an ambitious real estate developer came to Austin, Tex., with a dream--to transform miles of pristine wilderness into a sprawling self-sufficient city. When the development threatened a local treasure, a fragile limestone aquifer and a naturally spring-fed swimming hole, the community decided to fight back. Laura Dunn's lyrical and beautifully crafted documentary uses this landmark struggle--a microcosm of what's happening in communities across the country today--to consider the cost of the American dream.

text: I bought a laptop which came with Windows 8 Core. At the time, I didn't realize Windows 8 Core existed. I'm now trying to install Media Center using the free keys Microsoft is giving out, but they won't work because I'm running Windows 8 Core instead of Pro. It seems the only way to upgrade from Core to Pro is to buy Pro Pack for $70, which is weird because the Windows 7 to 8 upgrade is only $40. Is there a better way for me to obtain Windows 8 Pro?

This quilt has been done for about a month and I am just now getting photos on and posted….talk about a crazy (fun!) month we've had. Plus it's been sitting in the back of my car since the Sewing Summit and I forgot it was back there (shameful).
I quilted this with an all-over loopy pattern, and did the borders in a wavy back and forth pattern…not like you can see it but hey…it's there. This one was made with a Ruby layer cake (here, here, here, here, here, or here…so basically almost everywhere) and pattern (here, here or here…in hard copy or PDF).
And in other news…I dug out my maternity jeans today (aka stretchy pants).
I'm at the awkward my-regular-pants-are-too-tight but maternity-jeans-don't-stay-up faze of this pregnancy. Thanks goodness for skirts and pajama pants…they never let me down. :)

Public invited to interview superintendent candidatesBy Christian Avard
Staff Writer | January 19,2013SPRINGFIELD The Springfield School Board may have a new superintendent by the end of the month and the public can take part in the interview process, according to school officials.
The Springfield School Board announced two Springfield School District administrators are being considered to replace outgoing Superintendent of Schools Frank Perotti. Assistant Superintendent Zach McLaughlin and Union Street Elementary School Principal Martha Potter will be interviewed in the coming weeks.
The School Board interviewed from within first because the candidates are known by the staff and community, they are familiar with the districts strengths, and the transition of leadership will be more seamless, board members said. Although two internal candidates have applied for the position, the search process will be open to outside candidates.
Its just part of the normal search process to interview two internal candidates that are qualified, School Board Chairman Scott Adnams said. We had consultations from the Vermont School Board Association, a lot of people are looking internally. It seemed like the right thing to do.
The School Board will introduce the candidates to the staff and community Jan. 30. The event will take place all day and candidates will discuss their qualifications to be Springfields superintendent.
All who attend will have the opportunity to provide feedback. Afterward the School Board will conduct final interviews and deliberate.
Community members will get to be part of the interview process. We felt very strongly about having an evening session to the public and the board members have agreed to stay as late as we have to so we can finish the process, Adnams said.
Perotti, the outgoing superintendent, was hired as Springfields superintendent in 2008 and is now in the final year of his contract.
The estimated salary for the new superintendent will be $120,000 plus benefits, according to School Board Vice Chairwoman Jeanice Garfield.
For more information, contact the Springfield School District at 885-5141.

Dr. Mittleman is the author of five books: Between Kant and Kabbalah (SUNY Press, 1990), The Politics of Torah (SUNY Press, 1996), The Scepter Shall Not Depart from Judah (Lexington Books, 2000), Hope in a Democratic Age (Oxford University Press, 2009) and A Short History of Jewish Ethics (Wiley-Blackwell, 2012). He is also the editor of Uneasy Allies: Evangelical and Jewish Relations(Lexington Books, 2007), Jewish Polity and American Civil Society (Rowman & Littlefield, 2002), Jews and the American Public Square (Rowman & Littlefield, 2002), and Religion as a Public Good (Rowman & Littlefield, 2003). His many articles, essays, and reviews have appeared in such journals as Harvard Theological Review, Modern Judaism, the Jewish Political Studies Review, the Journal of Religion, and First Things. He is a contributor to The Cambridge Companion to American Judaism. Dr. Mittleman's current project is a work entitled Human Nature and Jewish Thought. The book explores contemporary scientific and philosophical theories of human nature, and brings them into dialogue with Jewish texts on key aspects of the human condition. The book is under contract with Princeton University Press, and will be published in 2015.
Before coming to JTS, Dr. Mittleman served as professor of Religion at Muhlenberg College from 1988 to 2004. Prior to his career in academia, he served on the national staff of the American Jewish Committee. From 2000 to 2004, Dr. Mittleman was director of the major research project Jews and the American Public Square, which was initiated by the Pew Charitable Trusts. Under his direction, the project produced two national surveys of Jewish attitudes on public affairs, four volumes containing a total of 40 scholarly essays, and 15 conferences around the United States. He is the recipient of an Alexander von Humboldt Foundation Research Fellowship, and served as guest research professor at the University of Cologne (1994 and 1996). He has lectured widely in Germany in the course of more than 50 trips to that country. Dr. Mittleman also received a Harry Starr Fellowship in Modern Jewish History from Harvard University's Center for Jewish Studies (1997). He serves on the Advisory Board of the John Templeton Foundation.
Dr. Mittleman has been an active participant in interfaith dialogue throughout his career, and has been interviewed by Time, Newsweek, the New York Times, and USA Today, among other periodicals. He was also part of a leadership delegation that met with Pope John Paul II, and has lectured at the Gregorian University in Rome. During the bicentennial of the US Constitution, Dr. Mittleman spoke on the meaning of religious liberty for American Jews in the chambers of the US Senate. He served on the Advisory Board of the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life. In 2007, he was visiting professor of Religion at Princeton University. He serves as Series Editor for Jewish Thought for the publisher Pickering and Chatto. A link to the series may be found here: www.pickeringchatto.com/theophil.
Dr. Mittleman holds a BA (magna cum laude) from Brandeis University and an MA and PhD (with distinction) from Temple University. He lives in Allentown, Pennsylvania, with his wife, Patti. An enthusiastic fly fisherman, he lives near a trout stream where he tries to fish 52 weeks of the year.

I've not used my 360 for months, but I decided to use it the other day and I couldn't turn it on from the controller.
I tried changing the batteries but it would just not power up the console. So I turned the console on manually and the controller paired. Until I moved it about 1cm away from the XBOX
I found that the controller now only works when it is resting on top of the XBOX, so not much use as a wireless controller. But I have no wired controller so I'm a bit stuck.
Is it likely that the controller has been dropped without my knowledge and is now faulty? or the RF antenna has come loose?
Or could it be the XBOX itself (pref the controller)
If its the controller anyone got any instructions on what to look for inside the controller? I can crack it open and easily solder the repairs, but I would like to know in advance what to look for before breaking out the tools.
I did google for the specific issue with the controller but it didn't yield any useful results (they were mostly resync the controller, which doesn't work btw)

Explore the Entrepreneurship.org Resource Center to find resources. Designed with entrepreneurs in mind, our resource center allows you to find materials to grow great ideas.
Chasing an entrepreneurial dream can be an all-consuming effort. Particularly in those crucial early days of a startup, founders seem to eat, sleep and breathe their businesses. This naturally occurring tunnel vision has a purpose, of course, allowing entrepreneurs to give their business babies the time and attention they need to mature. But this heads-down mode is not without its drawbacks, one of which is neglecting to stay up on current events--particularly the happenings that can impact the entrepreneurs who are inadvertently paying no attention to them.
Something extraordinary happened in Kansas City last Thursday. For the second year in a row, some of Kansas City's largest organizations participated in a reverse pitch. KCNext, the host and organizer, brought in a capacity crowd of over 200 entrepreneurs and other Global Entrepreneurship Week event participants. There were 65 events in Kansas City spread across a week and a half. But this event was different. This one was special.
Lately, there's been a lot of talk about these people we call millennials. Namely, the current generation, Generation Y, those "entitled, narcissists who still live with their parents", according to Keith Wagstaff. From complimentary to derisive, countless writers have deemed it their duty to predict exactly what this generation will add or (as most reports warn) detract from our current society. But the truth is, nothing has been said about the "Me, me, me generation" that hasn't been said about every generation before them.
Last Thursday, I joined 120 problem-solvers from around the Midwest at the iKC event at the H&R Block Headquarters. The event was an un-conference, meaning there were no pre-set rules or even an agenda. We came together to choose and vote on several topics of discussion we found interesting, and we then had four breakout sessions throughout the day to meet and discuss the 28 selected topics.
When considering the optimal number of founders for any new entrepreneurial adventure, the calculus extends well beyond simple formulas seemingly supported by observations of startup cohorts within specific industries. Famous technology twosomes that come to mind include David Packard and William Hewlett of Hewlett-Packard, Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak of Apple, Paul Allen and Bill Gates of Microsoft, Larry Page and Sergey Brin of Google. In these examples, it is widely observed that these buddy teams complemented each other well in the early formative years of their companies.
Startups are not just a risk for investors. They are also a risk for the attorneys and other service providers that choose to work with them. That's because there's no guarantee an early-stage company will be around to pay a law firm for all the work it's done - let alone become a long-term customer.

Starkville Academy's Jeff Terrill isn't a prophet, he's a head football coach.
That fact didn't stop Terrill from looking into the gridiron future of the city of Starkville not long after his hire as SA's leader in December of 2009.
With his friend Jamie Mitchell about to take over the helm of the Starkville High School Yellowjackets, Terrill had an interesting thought.
"When I got here that first spring, I said that I could remember many years when Starkville Academy and Starkville High School both had tremendous football programs," said Terrill. "I predicted that it would happen again."
Just two years later, Terrill's prediction has become Starkville's reality.
This past season, as Terrill guided Starkville Academy to its first winning campaign in six years, Mitchell was spearheading a similar revolution just across the street from the SA campus.
Both Terrill and Mitchell, the Starkville Daily News All-Area Coaches of the Year, each guided their teams to division titles.
SA made its first state championship game appearance since 2005, while Starkville High played for a state crown for the first time since 2001.
When coupled together, the success of Terrill and Mitchell gave virtually everyone in Starkville a team to be proud of.
"It's been a great year for Starkville football," said Mitchell. "I'm tickled to see (Starkville Academy's) success. You can also even throw Mississippi State into the mix as well with the success there.
"I think football makes this city turn. That's not meant to slight any other sports. I wouldn't do that for anything. But football is a sport that this town really seems to cling to."
Unfortunately, in recent seasons, Starkville residents hadn't had a lot to hold on to.
At Starkville Academy, the Volunteers had suffered through four-straight losing seasons, including a winless 2009 campaign, before Terrill left Itawamba Community College to take over the Vols in 2010.
In Terrill's debut season at SA, the Vols again suffered through a losing season with an overall record of 3-8, but the seeds were planted for an exciting future.
The Vols didn't have to wait long to reap their rewards as they went 10-3 in 2011, catching many by surprise, including Terrill himself.
"To speak honestly, I think when I first got here I had doubts whether we could do it or not," said Terrill. "When I say 'we', I mean all of us. Just from a lot of different standpoints, I don't think I'd ever seen anything like it was. If someone had told me we were going to win 10 games in the second year here, I would've never believed it.
"Our goals, even when we started the year, were realistic. Of course, everybody wants to be a state champion, but we try to have very realistic goals and our goals were to have a winning season and make the playoffs. We were crossing our fingers hoping for six, maybe seven wins, sneak into that No. 2 spot and get in the playoffs."
SA far exceeded their own expectations. The Vols wrapped up the division championship in the next-to-last game of the regular season with a win over East Rankin, then topped Lee Academy in a home playoff game to get to the state championship.
Though Washington School spoiled SA's chance at a Cinderella ending, Terrill couldn't have been any more pleased with his Vols.
"Two things that kept running through my mind was, one, the kids were able to see that hard work and commitment does pay off," said Terrill. "And two, I couldn't help but think of the seniors (from the 2010 season). I kept telling them they had to lay a foundation for us. Even though they were not there this year and they only won three games in their senior year, they'll never know how what they did really set the stage for this next class to really believe they could do it."
While Starkville Academy put together their remarkable story, Mitchell was helping Starkville High write its own fairy tale.
After going 5-6 in his first season at SHS after departing Itawamba Agricultural High School, Mitchell pulled all the right strings in year two, guiding the Yellowjackets to a 12-3 overall record.
Much like Terrill, Mitchell was caught a little off guard by how quickly his team pulled things together.
"Obviously, you dream for that, but you certainly wouldn't expect it in a two-year time frame," said Mitchell. "You'd think it'd take a little bit longer. We were thinking our third year here would be better than the first couple because we have so many young players, but it was just a magical year.
"Things fell in place for us. The kids just did a great job of playing and the ball bounced our way some and it has got to happen that way if you're going to get to Jackson."
Once getting to the big stage, Starkville fell just shy of winning a golden ball as Picayune came from behind to down the Jackets.
Still, Mitchell was proud of his team's year and was happy to have had the chance to be a head coach in a state title game for the very first time.
"That was a lifelong dream of mine," said Mitchell. "I had the chance to experience it in 1991 as an assistant and there is absolutely no words to describe that feeling.
"To have your football team there representing your school is completely overwhelming. It's an honor that I truly take to heart and I'll never forget that experience. If we never make it back, it's something I'll always cherish. Hopefully we'll be back, but you just never know."
Mitchell isn't only rooting for his own team to have the chance to play for a championship again.
If things go his way, Mitchell says everyone at Starkville and Starkville Academy will have plenty to cheer for in 2012.
"Hopefully, we can all duplicate all this success next year," said Mitchell.

Handy water bottle holder. Keeps your bottle close at hand with out it having to be in your hand. I like the double bottle holder better than the single bottle holder because I can always leave a bottle at home, if I only need one. Also it is good to carry the water on the outside of the pannier, as a water proof pannier will keep a spill in as good as it keep the weather out.

- Skin looks great after 2 weeks of use Review by Stephanie
Price Value Quality
Pro: Face clears up from acne, good quality product
Con: Packaging is made to look like there is more product than there is, make sure you look to see how many ozs you are really buying. For the price you would think there would be enough for a month. There isn't if you wash your face twice a day. Even if you only use a dime size amount of face cleaner and there are only 50 pads.
Other than that I was very please how well the product worked.

At age 51, I still have a very oily and acne prone t-zone. This is the best stuff! My skin is clear and glowing. Just use the blemish treatment sparingly which is as directed. I use an additional anti-aging serum on the rest of my face after I cleanse and use the pads.

So my grand daughter Molly who is few months from being 3 has found this Tayo the little bus cartoon on youtube - quality is terrible. But I can only seem to find the first 3 episodes but she doesn't seem to mind all that much.
There is a ipad app in english that she loves, plays the song, she can wash tayo, etc..
Anyway looking to purchase the videos is a bit pricey - they want $50 for both seasons, she is not even 3 not like she is going to be interested in this 6 months from now even.
Doing a bit of research seems to have aired in multiple other countries, not just the US yet? Was wondering if anyone had access to the english DVDs, media in other form? Possible purchase of that is more reasonable that $50 and then shipping from Korea, etc.
Possible trade of other DVDs I have? etc. etc. I know this should prob be in the sell and trade section, but that section is mostly tech related stuff from what I can tell. If you have access to this show - even if you can record it over the air? Please contact me via PM and we can discuss.

Reacting to ongoing reports of cooling problems and the continuing release of radioactive materials from the Fukushima I/Daiichi and Fukushima II/Diani Plants, Jan Beranek, Head of Greenpeace International's Nuclear Campaign said:
"Our thoughts remain with the Japanese people, who in the aftermath of the earthquake and tsunami are now faced with a dreadful situation, where instead of being able to plough all resources into rescue and relief efforts, the government is dealing with a crisis caused by the inherent and inescapable risks of nuclear power.""Despite government statements, the crisis at Fukushima continues to be a race against time, and is clearly not under control. We hope a worst-case scenario will be avoided, and that authorities continue to take urgent steps to protect people against the irradiation, while contamination apparently continues to be released into the atmosphere.""Current reports suggest new emerging problems with the cooling of at least two reactors, units one and three, at Fukushima I-Daiichi, both of which apparently suffered some melting of the fuel rods, causing a release of radiation that has been detected outside. Unit three uses so-called MOX fuel that contains plutonium oxide and releases significantly more heat even after the reactor is shut. In a situation where there is melting or damage to fuel in the reactor, several times more radiactive gases would be released, compared to the same amount of normal uranium fuel used in reactor number one. All of this is extremely worrying and tells us that the the crisis is far from over." "Greenpeace is concerned about the lack of facts and transparency about the total amount of radiation that has already been released, the exact state of cooling in all the reactors, and about whether the spent fuel ponds are secured -- they contain large amounts of radiation and are located outside of the containment – any damage to them would release contamination directly into the atmosphere, we request that Japan's government share this information with the public immediately." "Nuclear reactors are a dirty and dangerous power source, and will always be vulnerable to the potentially deadly combination of human error, design failure and natural disaster. Greenpeace is calling for the phase out of existing reactors around the world, and no construction of new commercial nuclear reactors. Governments should instead invest in renewable energy resources that are not only environmentally sound but also affordable and reliable."
Jim Riccio has been Greenpeace's Nuclear Policy Analyst since 2001 and has over two decades of nuclear activist experience. He currently directs nuclear policy work at Greenpeace USA. In the early 1990s, Jim served as the Campaign Coordinator for Greenpeace's Nuclear Campaign.

The last time I checked, Plutonium 239Pu, has a half-life of 24,100 years, which means any plutonium released from number 3 reactor will not be safe for 241,000 years. I wonder if the nuke mongers have budgeted cleanup and storage costs for that period of time, or are they counting on mutations in the human genome to allow us to evolve tolerance of carcinogenic radiation in that time? I'm thinking the pathogens, with their higher reproductive rates, will mutate faster than we will.
The MOX fuel is considered advantageous in getting rid of 239Pu weapons grade plutonium, but therein lies the real risk in that it is "WEAPONS GRADE PLUTONIUM". With a biological half-life of 100 years, and a probably deposition in the bone due to its ionic similarity to calcium, ANY biological exposure to weapons grade plutonium almost ensures pathological results within a person's lifetime.

Hydrogen burns or converts directly to electricity in fuel cells without pollution, and can actually produce clean water in the process. I bet there are a few Japanese who'd like to be sucking down a little hot tea from a clean fuel source right now. If you burn a little hydrogen in your gas guzzler, it will smooth out and cool down the engine, but anyone with a solar collector, wind generator, or hydroelectric source can generate THEIR OWN hydrogen, which makes it very difficult for the huge energy companies and monopolies of the world to maintain their strangleholds on us and our economies.

In Germany, for instance, there is a lot of local incentives aspiring for 100% renewable electricity from 2015 to 2030, the total area of this projects is approx. 20% of whole Germany - the solution is combination of various renewable resources: wind, water, solar, biomass, geohtermic, sea energy and smart grids with accumulation. In Burgenland (eastern strip of Austria), they will reach 100% electricity in 3 years.
In middle Europe the consumption of buildings is roughly one half of total energy. Today they are standing hundred of passive and so called "solarplus" houses and their energy consumption is low, or they are producing more energy, than is their need. It is also possible to make energy sanitation of older buildings.
Is this not a solution?

This is not a nuclear disaster. The tsunami damaged the diesel generators at Fukushima Daiichi which ultimately resulted in sea water being used to remove decay heat from the reactor. I'm impressed with how safe those reactors are after going through this terrible earthquake. Whatever radiation has been released is small and not worth getting concerned over. Why is Greenpeace blowing this nuclear situation out of proportion instead of concentrating on how to help people who are suffering from this earthquake?

The problem about donations arises; do we donate money to feed those affected? Give shelter? Bring medicines?
Or do we donate to Greenpeace because they offer energy alternatives to the world...and not just to protest Nuclear power.
I hope Greenpeace takes a constructive position and offers their services to the Japanese; I and others who support Ecology don't want to donate to rebuild the Nuclear power, we want to donate to an initiative to build alternative energy.
The damage to Solar panels and wind machines from Earthquakes would be minimal. There would be no safety features necessary to build in to the system to protect them from Earthquakes.
Use your funds, Greenpeace, to send experts and offer experimental demonstration models about alternative energy. That might increase your worldwide support.

The fact that there is and will not be any unsafe levels/types of radiation from the very old BWR-3 reactor is testament to the safety of the design. The newer BWR-4, 5, and 6 designs have only improved safety. Only 4 fatalities have occurred at the nuclear plants, whereas the gasoline plants have had numerous fatalities.
Even if a full core meltdown occurs, its not a big deal. The containment vessel will protect the environment from the reactor.

I am wondering what agency we in the US can trust to convey the true extent of radiation fallout as it drifts across to the west coast from Japan. The Oregon Public Health Emergency Preparedness Program is supposedly monitoring radiation levels here, but the wind keeps blowing and those plants seem likely to do the same.
I don't want to get sucked into panic by looking at unreliable websites. But I'd like to be proactive about keeping my family safe.
Ideas, anyone?

Go here to learn something about radiation:
Go here to learn something about radiation:
You receive approximately 50 microSieverts (5 mREM) from flying across the United States. The radiation being released from Units 1 and 3 at Fukushima have dose levels in this range. There's no reason to panic... and by the time any of the radioisotopes happen to make it across the Pacific (to the west coast of the United States), they will have decayed to something stable, or be so dispersed as not to matter.
Remember folks, radiation is all around us. Whether there is or is not radiation present at Fukushima means nothing if you aren't given a dosage level.

I did my doctoral research on the thyroid. The danger of even low-level radioactive releases from these plants are two-fold.
One, is that although the various radioactive isotopes of iodide, which are volatile when oxidized to their iodines, 125I and 131I, have relatively short half-lives, they are concentrated dramatically by the thyroid. This is one reason that open atmosphere testing of nuclear weapons was banned, since this tends to waft long distances on the prevailing wind.
If you don't believe me, this is common knowledge:
"Radioisotopes of iodine are concentrated in the thyroid gland. This property of thyroid-concentration, along with its mode of beta decay, makes iodine-131 one of the most carcinogenic nuclear fission products."
Thank you Greenpeace for looking into the lack of potassium iodide tablets for protecting the thyroids of the American people from such exposures. The local pharmacist here had no clue as to where to get some. His advice was to try a chemical supply company, but one doesn't want to just consume potassium iodide haphzardly, since too much potassium and too much iodide can both be poisonous.
I'm thinking the Japanese probably need all that can be found for their immediate threats, since they will be first to suffer from the exposures.
The second problem that is compounded by the plutonium in MOX plants is that plutonium is one of the most toxic elements known to mammals. This is why they've spent huge amounts of money decommissioning old facilities contaminated with plutonium, like Rocky Flats, and burying the plutonium-contaminated supplies in WIPP, here in NM. I'm thinking the budget for monitoring those waste products for 241,000 years, or 10 half-lives is just not there.
We can only pray, for us all, that the containments hold at these beleaguered nuclear plants.

On those rare days when CXI Racing's 1,000-hp, 421-inch LT1-powered '95 Vette gets a break from the grind of commuting in Houston's traffic and goes racing, Jay Schuster is the driver. Today we're doing a photo shoot and Jay is following tight on my pickup's rear bumper as I lean out the back, shooting the car at 55 mph on a two-lane highway. Further behind, in Conversion Xtra's other test mule-a 2000 C5-owner Phil Twardowski is running interference to keep other traffic safely out of the way. Traffic is beginning to thicken behind the C5, and one of the trapped vehicles is a black Porsche Turbo Carrera, whose driver is showing definite signs of impatience
I snap another photo, freezing the C4's image at 1/30 of a second with a nice road blur through my Canon T-90's wide-angle lens. Suddenly, above the roar of the wind I hear the unmistakable shriek of a high-output engine, and through the lens see the black Porsche leaping out over the double yellow lines to pass the traffic. I signal my driver and our three-car convoy exits the highway into-of all things-the entrance to the biggest outdoor shooting range I've ever seen. This must be the Wal-Mart of gun ranges.
My driver makes a U-turn around an island, followed by the two Corvettes. Without warning, the Porsche flashes by with a nasty blare of fiercely revving German engine crackle and turbocharger whistle, accelerating toward the shooting range-and the driver raises a fist with a single digit pointed skyward. Man, this guy must need a bigger gun, or something! I glance back at Jay in the red C4, with its 650-horse-on-the-motor LT1 under the hood and the two-stage nitrous system's bottles hidden under the hatch, and catch the look on his face as the jerk in the Turbo escapes unscathed. Jay's expression is like something you might see on a big tomcat that hasn't eaten in a long time as it stares at a fat pigeon on the wrong side of a window. The look a predator has when its brain is jacked full-on to a setting way beyond kill-maybe torture to death-and you know that pane of glass is gonna melt away any second. There's a promise, a mission, in Jay's expression, and I figure that the clown in the Porsche better join a Witness Protection Program, or trade the black Turbo on a Geo Metro and take a five-year road trip to Siberia, because there's gonna be a 1,000-horse street Vette looking to blow him into the next dimension if they ever meet at a stoplight! This has to be the first time I've ever felt sorry for someone in a Turbo Porsche.
The ConceptAmerica's real sports car, says Conversion Xtras' main man, Phil Twardowskij, is the Corvette. Okay, there's a thing called a Viper, but where do you see one except occasionally on the cover of a magazine? Daimler-Chrysler has only sold a few thousand of them, and there are only a couple of shops in the country that even know how to hot rod one of 'em, much less make a decent living at it. No, Phil figures that the Vette is still the Real American Sports Car, and CXI's strategy is to focus on tuning '92-and-newer Corvettes and their LT1 and LS1 small-block V-8s with performance parts and packages, and building turnkey street racer tuner cars. The red '95 C4 is a CXI concept car, designed to showcase the company's abilities to build an ultimate street car out of any '92-and-up Vette. Says Jay Schuster, "We give the customer a Corvette where basically he can go out and carve up a 'built' Viper."
The idea behind the 421 C4 was to preserve the Vette's basic appearance, character, and independent rear suspension, while stacking on plenty of big stroke, a ton of nitrous, and all of the key suspension and drivetrain upgrades needed to make 1,000 reliable rear-wheel horsepower in a balanced package that gives up nothing in the way of street manners, and has the cojones to kill anything else on the pavement, be it in traffic, on a road course, or down thequarter-mile.
