Captain Mikko Koivu Signs 7 Year Extension
Last week, Minnesota Wild Captain Mikko Koivu signed a 7 year $47 million deal to stay with the franchise. He will be under contract with the Wild until he is 35 years old and through the 2017-2018 season. His old contract was up and the Minnesota Wild would have been devastated if Mikko Koivu had left, after losing Brian Rolston and Marian Gaborik via free agency years before. Last season Mikko Koivu scored 71 points and he is consistently one of the best defensive forwards in the game. He is the Minnesota Wild's top center.

Do the Wild have any money left to get any scorers? Doubtful. Looking like a bleak Wild season.

The sleeping valley
Am back! :) Its been some time since anything has been put up over this vacant lot of mine, my garage where I tweak with what I like, I don't, I would die for and I would rather kill for!! :P And yea, I had started missing this crank shop! :)
Its been about 3-4 months since I have left college. Graduate, that's what they call me now!! ;) Devidas K, B.Tech in Computer Sciences and Engg.!! It had been a twisty journey up all along in the past four years of under-grad life, and bless me, I scrapped out unhurt! phew! :)
Struggling to find the normal flow after months of inexplicable silence, I am directly coming to what I had intended to write upon here without much ado: My last and probably the best bike ride till date on which the six of us: Sailesh, Ashith, Rohit, Raman, Rogen and myself had embarked upon in March, 2010. The plan was quick and the trip was sudden! But hey, thats what always happened the past four years! :D
The itinerary just included Munnar, the beauty spot of God's own Kerala :). Though we had been to Munnar in the first year at college as a class trip, Hitting the tarmac with bikes has an entirely different feel to it that a bus journey can just simply can't give! ;)
Destiny lies here within....
Coming back to the team, It was going to be the first ever long trip for Sailesh's babe : a glamorous and sexy black UNICORN, which, thanks to the endurance and patience of Sailesh, was finally delivered to him just a week or two before after a prolonged wait of over 4 months! Riding on the black babe were Sailesh and Ashith ak.a Lt. Ashith Krishnan now, Rohit and Raman on Appu a.k.a Apache RTR 160( yet another dark horse from the TVS ranch) and finally, the ultimate ride that was ever built(exaggerated, I know :P ) my red hot Discover 135!! My trusted friend, companion, partner in crime and what not for the past 3 years= 60,000kms!! :) Riding with me, was Rogen, buddy and friend since the day we met!
Miles to go before he turns me off ;)
We had a big trip to make and 3 days to make it work! The journey started off early in the morning from Thrissur. The route in plan was : Thrissur-Perumbavur-Munnar-Marayur-Udumalpet-Pollachi-Govindapuram-Nemmara- Thrissur.
Lesson learned : Map reading skills are quintessential.
Circumnavigating the forest ranges along the way, the route would take as heights in the Ghats of Munnar, a treacherous journey thanks to the altitudes and mist falls. The otherwise smooth start to this amazing trip was at around 5.30 6 a.m in the morning at Mannuthy. Trip meters were zeroed in, helmets pulled on, jackets and backpacks ready, we were all set for the journey! :)
We stuck to N.H 47, calmer except for the occasional high beam lorries that would whoosh by with the constant humming of tires rolling on tarmac. The roads have been made beautifully apt for us bikes with 4 lane safe driving assured. We did not halt except to take a leak, and were covering good distance in the very first hours itself.
The first major stop was at near Kothamangalam where we halted to correct our directions. The locals were pretty helpful and thanks to the glittering green roadsigns which we blissfully overlooked, we were back on track to Munnar, now about 80 kms away.
Then it was time for breakfast, tummies making that ever so familiar grunt. Had some real good typical Malayalees breakfast, nerves pulsating to get the first glimpse of, what would ultimately be, the only thing that we would see for the next 2 days- the mystique hills and ghats! :)
And then finally we were there! the climb started gradually, then drinking in more fuel than what my bike would have ever experienced. The climbs were often steep, accompanied with crooked turns at unexpected points. At one time you would be tempted to charge the throttle high and soar, and ships ahoy! there comes the next pestering turn!! :(
The beginning stretch
Climb went on and on, til the sun was right over our heads and the town was MUNNAR!!! :) Took the first big stop for lunch, before which was the photo session in the woods near the bus station.
The jockies, the stallions!
The next requisite was to find a shelter for the night, which we was gotten even more easily than we expected.
All of us had just backpacks to carry which were kept of at the room, spacious and comfortable for all six to pull rug up together, before we rode down to perhaps the most beautiful view point I have ever seen so far in my entire life as a biker-tourer. The stunning view of the valleys at Top station view point was simply, to put in the least words, breath taking! The sunshine seeping out through the clouds, casting a golden gleam on the green patches down below in the valley was a rare spectacle for the eyes. It was a dreamworld all together, and we stood mesmerized for a few minutes before returning to our senses! :)
Snaps and snaps again, I swear we ought to have had an SLR with us to capture some of them beautiful scenes visible to our naked eyes and contented hearts!
Spell bound...
The return trip included a run over Mattupetti dam, Echo point, deserted completely as it was almost sunset, thereby making sure that the only people shouting for echo would be us!!
At Echo point, the sounds reverberate from hills/ opposite river bank and echo back to where you stand, low yet clear.
Was a nice experience, calling names, making weird sounds and being merry!
Back at room, it was time to catch some sound sleep and to rest those aching limbs which had seen numerous gear shifts, mud tracks, uphill(and a corresponding down hill) climbs all in a day's work!
Early morning the next day we were up and ready to hit the roads again. It had been intended to be a purely ride for pleasure trip and thus, as is obvious, the lion's share of tim was to be spent on the road.period. To make things better, the return route was through the other exit point to the hills, the roads that wind down and down into Udumalpet in Tamil Nadu, crossing the Marayur sandalwood forest and sugar cane fields.
Above: A local jaggery plant at Marayur.
Engines revved and heated up for the day long ride back home, we embarked on yet another 12 hour ride, inquiring directions intermittently until we were put on the route downhill, and by downhill I mean reaaallly down the hill for kilometers together, to Marayur.The rounded vessel which is used for extracting jaggery from the sugar cane juice.
The ride downwards from the altitude was riddled was surprises. There were long stretches of path where the throttle remain untouched. The steadily dropping heights saved a lot of fuel which could actually compensate for what we lost during the uphill climb. It being the off-season at Munnar, traffic was not heavy and with engine shut off, we were, at times, cruising at excess of 60kmph!!
Along the road side were flowering trees local to the place. It was definitely a pleasant sight to see them blossoming, and the fallen flowers spreading a magenta, violet, yellow or blueish tint on the ground below.
The regular pee/tea perks were the only time when the vehicles actually halted, and often otherwise when Sailesh would call for some picture perfect shots en-route. :) We were really having a good time!!!
Though not in our chart and definitely not in our already late running schedule, we decided to take a halt near Marayur, at a place called Muniyara( the burial chambers of saints). The place is supposedly belonging to the Megalithic age, and is surely a surprising sight.Atop the hill at Muniyara, we could see fumes rising from a distant forest fire in ghats. It definitely is a sad thing to find such serenity being destroyed by man and, sometimes nature.
We were way behind our scheduled time, and it was time to hit the roads again. The usual citing of elephant herds, a group of which was blocking the roads, welcomed us near the TN border! :)
after some skillfully mastered snaps of the wild parade, we were racing speeds to reach Pollachi Govindapuram state highway.
One good thing that I admire of TN roads is the way they have been maintained over the years, once built. The speeds gained on these routes were enough to put us back in our time frames.
As always, it was easy to identify where in we crossed back into the Kerala state borders as the road conditions soon turned worse. ;)
The last leg of this enticing, thrilling, and albeit superb trip was less eventful, skillfully making our way through the clogged NH 47 stretch from Mangalam bridge to Mannuthy. The final readings on odo stood at about 55okms.(don't remember the exact number! :) )
Must say it was truly a memorable journey, a ride which definitely made the urge in me to make even bigger, longer and riskier rides stronger! ;) Heard there are some real good places near Bengalooru worth exploring! ;)
P.S: For all those lazybones out there, get a hold of yourself, or atleast, a bike! Wander the roads, feel what it really means to be an Indian! The diversity of virtually everything, bonded by the strand of oneness, of being brothers of same blood and flesh, the sons of one motherland, India. Where else can you find such marvels under the blue sky?!! :)
Current feeling: Nostalgic. Slightly desperate... :)

Miami-Dade County
Coaches step in when Dad is out of the picture
If you've never been to a youth wrestling tournament, prepare yourself for the sight of lots of crying boys.
"C'mon! C'mon! Big boy style," Twin City Wrestling Club volunteer coach Jeremy Sands shouts as young Cordell White faces his opponent at a recent tournament at Hialeah Gardens High School.
Minutes before, both young contenders were crying. Not because they were afraid of getting injured — physical pain was the furthest thing from their minds — but because they were afraid of losing. Aren't we all.
But for the boys of Twin City, many of whom come from the rougher neighborhoods of Homestead and Florida City, losing hurts a little more.
Here — where too many families fall on the shoulders of a single mom — Curtis Dewberry, head of Florida City Parks and Recreation and volunteers like Sands are not just grooming national and state championship winners. They're also surrogate dads who know from personal experience the hole an absent father leaves.
According to 2009 U.S. Census data, more than 24 million children — one out of every three — live apart from their biological dads.
On Father's Day, when that absence is stark and raw, the bond of sports can help kids of all ages cope.
"My parents split when I was small," says Twin City's Corey Harvey, 13, who just ranked a national fourth in wrestling's Schoolboy division in Indianapolis. "Coach Curtis is my influence. It's how he teaches you. He doesn't sugarcoat anything. And Jeremy" — coach Sands is Corey's stepdad — "helps all the time."
Dewberry grew up on the Homestead-Florida City border with a stepdad who couldn't have cared less about his doings.
"I was lucky; my dad stayed in my life," he says.
Between wrestling and playing football for the Florida City Razorbacks, he landed a partial scholarship to Chowan Junior College in North Carolina. Since 1987, when his coaching career started at Homestead Middle, he has helped boys like Corey do even better than he did. This year, about 446 kids will participate in his athletic programs. Since 1998, 22 boys have gone to college on full scholarships and onward to the National Football League, including Antrel Rolle and Eric Foster.
In other pockets of South Florida, coaches are standing in. Observes head football coach Curtis Wright of the Miami Gardens Bulldogs: "So many kids have absent fathers. That's why I coach. I was that kid."
Last year, the Bulldogs were ranked No. 1 in South Florida and No. 2 to Florida City the previous year, but Wright measures success in a different way, as well.
"I like to say we're not just teaching boys how to play football. We're teaching them how to be men."
While Wright hears many complain that kids today are worse off, "I see it getting better," he says. "There's a lot of help for kids that I didn't have coming up. A lot of parents are getting involved."
Opa-locka volunteer football coach Robert Mellerson became more involved than the average coach when a player's father was incarcerated.
"I drive him to school, help him with his homework — and help him with football," Mellerson says. "He lives with me. I'm stepping in as his father now."
Unlike many youth wrestling clubs that practice all year, Twin City has only three months to train and compete in the spring tournaments leading up to the Southeast Regionals in late May. They wrestle Greco and Freestyle. Dewberry emphasizes the basics, where in his experience, matches are won or lost.
Then all thoughts turn to football. Southernmost of all U.S. Pop Warner teams, the Razorbacks have reached local legend status for winning Pop Warner national championships. Dewberry coached the Junior Midget division to their 2010 national championship and took the same crop of kids, as Midgets, to the national runner-up position in 2011.
"People know me for football, but my first love is wrestling," Dewberry admits. But wrestling is not only less prestigious of a sport, it's also more expensive for parents to send their kids to tournaments across and outside the state. With registration fees, hotels and food, it can cost upwards of $500 per child for the season. This year, four Twin City boys qualified for the June 22 national competition in Utah, where All Americans will be crowned to compete against international teams later this yearin Puerto Rico. But with a price tag of $900 for the Utah trip, there's no guarantee all of them will be able to go.
"Coming out of Florida City, not a lot of parents can come up with that," says Darren Baldwin, another Dewberry protégé who became a coaching volunteer.
Baldwin's mom gave birth to him and his sister when she was a teenager. . His grandmother took him to live with her.
"Coming from here, that's common," Baldwin says. "I've been under Curt since I was 1 day old. My dad wrestled with him."
With Dewberry, and his father, Darren Baldwin Sr., guiding him, he started wrestling at age 5, graduated from University of Central Florida on a football scholarship, and got a tryout with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
"Dad never missed a wrestling tournament, never missed a football game," Baldwin says. "He sent me to South Dade High instead of Homestead, driving me to school every day for four years. I never had to deal with the things other kids did — walking home and getting into fights, wearing the same clothes and shoes to school every day. I never had to wonder, 'Am I going to have enough money to play on the team?' "
Santiago Arciniega, 10, is one of Twin City's qualifiers heading to Utah.
"It's all worth it," his father Damacio Arciniega says of the time and money he has invested in youth sports. Besides putting his three boys through Dewberry's programs, Arciniega coaches soccer for some 300 kids who practice Wednesday and Friday evenings on a field at South Dade Labor Camp at Southwest 312th Street and 137th Avenue.
"I just don't want kids to go in a bad direction," Arciniega says. "They get into the street, and come to practice with attitudes. Eventually their anger subsides. I try to pass on a better outlook."
Six years ago. Coach Sands saw his stepson Corey going in that direction and took the boy in to live with him.
"It was a rough start. Corey wants to be so much better than I was. He would say, 'You think you're never wrong,' and I'd try to tell him, 'I just don't want you to make my mistakes.' "
Separated from his own children while trying to win visitation rights, Sands is putting his all into Corey.
"I was good in sports and took it for granted. Now that he has a lot of trophies and accomplishments, I encourage him to say 'Thank you' and work harder."
In Florida City's new gym opposite Loren Roberts Park — where membership is $15 a month, almost as good a deal as the one at Miami's Jose Marti Park — Dewberry demonstrates wrestling moves with Harvey for the other kids. Their eyes follow the pair, entranced. When Dewberry barks an order, they jump to it.
"The kids demonstrate so much respect for him," says Lisa Oberlander, another volunteer who also learned to wrestle with Dewberry. For the love of sports, when she's not teaching art and photography at Herbert Ammons Middle School, Oberlander — "Miss Obie" to the boys — helps teach the youngest wrestlers the basics.
One of them, 5-year-old Tedrick Lee, competed in his first tournaments this year, winning second-place medals in Greco and Freestyle. His father, Teddrick Lee Sr., who coaches football and comes to his son's every practice and tournament, says wistfully, "I wish my father had been around to watch me."
And so it goes, in a circle of boys and men supporting one another through life as well as sports.
As the late-day sun slants across Florida City, the park fills with parents and kids psyched for summer football training.
"I look at it as giving back to where I came from," says Coach Baldwin, a football in one hand and a sign-up sheet in the other.
Recently, a teacher asked one of the boys he coaches to draw a picture of his family. The boy, whose dad lives far away in North Carolina, drew his brother, his sister and his mother.
And his coach.

Joseph Hobby
Mar 27 1850
35 Years
So if I am correct, this is likely to be my Joseph who married Aretta. This does fit with my previous theories but it still isn't solid evidence. I still didn't have any further information about Joseph's parents so I decided one day that I was going to start with the records that came from Connecticut. I started with the The Barbour Collection of Connecticut Town Vital Records. Vol. 1-55 that was edited by Lorraine Cook White and available on Ancestry. Unfortunately, this collection just made me more frustrated because the records were not detailed and covered several years of birth, death, and marriage records. So I gave up for a time and worked on other lines. Google searches with the Hobby name are quite unfruitful as it is a common word but I decided to filter down to just Google books. I got lots of hits for Captain Joseph Hobby and Captain Thomas Hobby. Most of the references were with regards to military service in the revolutionary war and these men would be unlikely candidates for Joseph's father but could possibly be his grandfather. I realized it is was time to brush up on my history so I did. One historical event that was of particular interest was the Tryon's raid on the colonies of Connecticut in 1779. Most of the towns on the Connecticut coast were burned during the raid. After the war people in this area received a war bounty of land from the Connecticut Reserve which consisted of land that is now modern Ohio. This was a huge clue for me and made me realize why the migration of family took place. I am getting closer to solving this brick wall but not there yet! If one thing I have learned it that you must look at everything and leave no stone unturned. Still more to come. Stay tuned.

Because of the animals' itty bitty frame, each stitch is noticeable, highlighting the careful handmade nature of the work. In each turn of the yarn, we imagine the delicate movements of human fingers, and each being becomes impossibly precious. Heightening their dearness is the fact that delightful creatures are so easily lost; like microscopic pets, their vulnerability inspires us to cherish them and hold fast to their tiny bodies. In this way, the pieces recall the nostalgic yearning of a child for his toy.
Despite their smallness, each creation has an impressively distinct character. With the slightest opening of the mouth, a gecko exudes a curious and playful attitude; a long-beaked bird stares in awe of her own crochet egg. Two squirrels tell a story, peering up at the sky in unison; similarly, a parent elephant watches over her child, whose plastic button eyes seek approval. A lion turns his head with a poignant frown, as if startled by his own size. All animals great and small, from the littlest snail to the tallest giraffe, inhabit the same magical space, cautiously yet courageously exploring the large world they miraculously inhabit.

LONDON (Reuters) - Sabine Lisicki lived up to her status as the new Wimbledon favorite with a clinical 6-3 6-3 demolition of Kaia Kanepi in the quarter-finals on Tuesday.
The conquerors of Roger Federer, Rafa Nadal and Maria Sharapova all failed to back up their shock wins but Lisicki followed her stunning victory over defending champion Serena Williams with another impressive display.
The smiling German broke Estonian Kanepi's serve in the opening game of the match and produced a barrage of fizzing groundstrokes and subtle drop shots to reach her second Wimbledon semi-final in just 65 minutes.
"There was for me no pressure at all after yesterday's win," Lisicki told a news conference.
"I needed to make the switch quickly and focus on today's match and that's what I did. I think I did a good job today."
Lisicki made a fast start under grey skies on Court One and she broke the world number 46 in the opening game.
Bustling energetically around the court and whipping forehands crosscourt and down the line, Lisicki also tormented the ponderous Kanepi with delicate drop shots which the lanky Estonian struggled to retrieve.
Kanepi, who knocked out Briton Laura Robson in the fourth round, took advantage of three Lisicki double faults to break serve for a 2-1 lead in the second set but she looked uncomfortable whenever she was forced to leave the baseline.
Lisicki, the 23rd seed, reeled off four games in a row to stand on the brink of the last four and although Kanepi held serve to stop the rot, the German dispatched a high forehand volley on her third match point to seal victory.
Lisicki, who lost to Sharapova in the semi-finals at the All England Club two years ago, will play fourth seed Agnieszka Radwanska in the semi-finals.
"I know how it is to be in the semi-final here," she said. "I am glad I had that experience before and I feel much fresher and fitter than two years ago. I am hitting the ball well and moving well.
"Agnieszka Radwanska plays a very smart game. She moves well around the court. She was in the final last year, so she has a lot of confidence with that."
Sergiy Stakhovsky and Michelle Larcher de Brito lost immediately after their stunning second-round wins over Federer and Sharapova, while Steve Darcis pulled out of the tournament due to injury after knocking out Nadal in the first round.

Campus Construction Continues, April 20, 1999
SOCORRO, N.M., April 19, 1999 -- Thanks to last year's passage of the state General Obligation (GO) Bond, a major construction project at New Mexico Tech will be completed on time later this summer, while another is scheduled to soon get underway.
The university received nearly $2.5 million to complete construction of the second and third floors of the Jones Hall addition (which is scheduled for completion in the first week in August) and also was allotted about $3.5 million of GO Bond monies to begin the Cramer and Weir halls renovation project.
Another $930,000 from the GO Bond also has been allocated as infrastructure money for New Mexico Tech, providing the university with a new student database with roughly half of that total, while the other half goes to improvements and upgrades to campus lighting, water and gas lines, and roads, as well as a mechanical refurbishment of the Kelly Building, which houses the Petroleum Recovery Research Center (PRRC).
An additional $54,000 of the GO Bond monies Tech received have been earmarked for various projects associated with complying with the American with Disabilities Act (ADA).
The Jones Hall addition is a $7.8 million three-story building which will provide an additional 44,000 square-feet of space for classrooms, laboratories, and offices on campus.
The New Mexico Tech biology and environmental engineering departments will become the tenants of the new building shortly after its completion, sometime before the start of the 1999 fall semester.
The renovation of Cramer and Weir halls, however, currently remains on hold because of the uncertainty surrounding the state's budget for the next fiscal year. The Cramer and Weir project had been given the highest priority of all the state's educational capital projects under the scope of the New Mexico Commission on Higher Education's facilities committee.
The $2.8 million needed to complete funding for the Cramer and Weir renovation is still pending legislative action.
Notwithstanding the current uncertainty surrounding state budgets, plans are continuing at New Mexico Tech for the Cramer and Weir renovation, as well as other campus building projects.
When the Jones Hall addition is completed, construction is scheduled to begin on a new $4 million residence hall complex which will provide 144 more beds for Tech students who choose to live on-campus, probably in time for the start of the 2000 fall semester.
Presidents Hall, one of the older dorms on campus, eventually will be retired in its established role as a residence hall and will be modified to accommodate departmental offices being temporarily displaced during the complete makeover of Cramer and Weir halls.
When renovation of Cramer and Weir is completed, Presidents will continue to house other academic offices and provide additional student space.
The construction on campus won't slow up with these project's finish: there are plans on the drawing board for a new Student Union Building and other facilities at New Mexico Tech to begin construction sometime after 2000.

We're always in the top five or six states in the country for the percentage of people registered, but you have to remember that only about 2 percent of deaths are actually eligible for organ donation. It's sometimes hard to get that point across. —Alex McDonald
SALT LAKE CITY — Hundreds of Utahns on organ transplant lists are waiting on a remaining 30 percent of Utahns to give them hope to survive.
It may be that the person who can provide a matching lifesaving organ just isn't registered to be an organ donor. While 70 percent of Utahns have joined the list, some are still holding back for one reason or another.
Throughout April, Intermountain Donor Services held various events to push for increased participation in Utah's Organ Donor Registry, but so far, the only thing that is up is the number of hits on its website, said Alex McDonald, director of public education for the organization.
McDonald said there's no way to tell how many people have been moved to action, but "this is one thing where every person has the potential to make a difference."
"We're always in the top five or six states in the country for the percentage of people registered, but you have to remember that only about 2 percent of deaths are actually eligible for organ donation," he said. "It's sometimes hard to get that point across."
Lori Haglund of Murray knows the pain of losing a loved one who was waiting on an organ transplant list.
Haglund's son, Brock Butler, died in September, eight days after his 21st birthday, while awaiting a coveted liver, the most dire of organs ailing individuals need, as there is no medical method available to keep the old one alive and functioning much longer after it quits working.
She had imagined picking him up from swimming practice after getting the call that a lifesaving organ was ready for him, and he always told her he wanted to include a trip to the barber on his way to the hospital to receive his new liver.
"That was how we lived our lives, feeling hopeful and that it would happen, never thinking for a second that it wouldn't," Haglund said.
Butler was diagnosed at age 10 with Crohn's disease and later was hit with the complicating diagnosis of an autoimmune disease of his liver. From that point, Haglund said, "we always knew that a liver transplant would be in his future, and we hoped it would be when he was an old man. We never imagined it would happen to us in this way."
Although it is painful to talk about, Haglund wants people to understand the tragedy that can occur when someone says no to donation.
"A year ago today, he was working part time and going to school and playing music with his friends and riding his bike and being a kid," she said. "If you knew about his disease, you could tell his skin was yellow and he'd tire more quickly than the average 20-year-old, but he was upbeat and happy about life. A lot of people didn't even know he was sick."
As of Tuesday, 730 Utahns were similarly awaiting lifesaving organs. Of those, 176 were waiting for a new liver, as theirs also may have deteriorated from a disease or other condition. About 475 people are awaiting kidneys, three are needing a new pancreas, 18 need a kidney/pancreas combination, 52 need a new heart, and six are awaiting lung transplantation.
More than 100 of those awaiting organs in Utah are under age 34; 107 are ages 35 to 49; 311 are between 50 and 64; and 143 are older than 65, according to the United Network of Organ Sharing, a national nonprofit organization that manages the country's transplant system under contract with the federal government.
"A lot of people are right in the prime of their life when they need these organs," McDonald said. Some are merely children and have much life to live.
"A void in our hearts"
Vittoria Frandsen died when she was just 8 years old. Despite a congenital heart condition present at birth, her mother said Vittoria "never let the physical challenges hold her back."
"We waited and prayed for a heart while she struggled daily to stay alive," Valeria Frandsen said. "Life has never been the same since then. Our grief and pain has not lifted one bit. She left a void in our hearts and our lives."
Wait time for organs, McDonald said, depends not only on the organ needed, but also the severity of a person's condition and the blood type to determine a match.
Tissue donation, which can come from any circumstance of death, may not be lifesaving, but "it definitely changes lives," McDonald said. Eye, heart, bone, skin, tendon and some vein tissues have the potential to be transplanted and therefore enhance a person's quality of life.
When Anthony Whitaker suffered a brain injury, his mother knew almost immediately that she had lost him. Keri Stephens began contemplating organ donation, and her son's organs, tissue and eyes were able to help save at least five lives and help two people see.
"It's the most positive thing that can come of something so terrible," Stephens said. "Because of donation, I know my son is still alive."
She carries a book with her that contains letters and photographs from the families of those whose lives were saved by the death of her son.
"It is the story of his gift to all these people," Stephens said. "It reminds me there is something more important."
McDonald said people not on the donor registry often have one of several concerns, including that they won't get the best medical care available if they ended up in a hospital.
Emergency room physicians, however, don't have access to information regarding organ donation, he said. At the point of admission to the emergency department, they also wouldn't know who is waiting for what and what blood types might be involved.
"Doctors and nurses have no incentive to let any patient die," McDonald said. "They will do everything they can to save them. Organ donation doesn't even cross their minds until they've exhausted every approach. And it is amazing the things they do, the lifesaving measures they try."
Other concerns
Another common concern involves superstition, that by signing up, something bad will then happen.
"Everyone dies someday," McDonald said, and most people aren't likely to know when that will happen.
Others not on the list, he said, exclude themselves because they think they're not suitable donors because of diabetes, high blood pressure or a previous cancer diagnosis or some other medical issue.
"There's really no medical exclusion except for HIV or full-blown AIDS, or active cancer, with the exception of some cancers," McDonald said.
He stressed that one organ donor can save up to nine lives and have an impact on 50 or 60 lives if tissues are also transplanted.
But with all the effort to sustain life, some awaiting organs ultimately die before receiving them. Haglund's son was just one of many in Utah last year, and she is hoping to spread word of how that impacted her family and his many friends.
"We felt like we had to do something to see some good come out of it," she said. "If we could help prevent some family from having to go through this, it would give him a legacy."
In addition to volunteering with Intermountain Donor Services, Haglund and her family are building the Brock Strong Foundation, which will embark on fundraising events to raise awareness about the importance of organ donation and "honor the life he lived."
Nearly 5,000 Utahns have given their organs after death in the organization's 11-year history. Each of those names are listed at the Celebration of Life Memorial at Library Square. The list also includes live kidney donors and individuals who have given significant amounts of blood in their lifetime. New names are ceremoniously added to the list each August.
"This isn't just a donor and a recipient. The donor has friends, family and maybe children," McDonald said. "The death of that person has touched an awful lot of people and probably will continue to for a lot of years. The same is true for recipients and everyone who is excited they are alive.
"It is affecting whole families, and that can be a huge number of people," he said.

LINK will be First Airline in Japan to Fly ATRsOct 10 (Wed ), 2012
LINK will be First Airline in Japan to Fly ATRs
Japan's new regional carrier LINK will be the first airline to fly the ATR 72-600 in Japan, one of the last Asian countries where ATR aircraft have not yet entered.
LINK will start operations in 2013 with the introduction into its fleet of three leased ATR 72-600s. The aircraft will be delivered starting in late 2013.
The three 70-seat ATR 72-600 aircraft will be equipped with new Pratt & Whitney 127M engines and new full-glass cockpit developed by Thales. They will also be equipped with the new Armonia cabin, developed by Italian designer Giugiaro, featuring the most modern layout and most advanced technologies in the field of passenger comfort.
Commenting on the announcement, Mr. Koichi Sugiyama, Chief Executive Officer of LINK, said, "The ATR 72-600 perfectly fits with our requirements in terms of low operating costs, most updated technologies and optimal comfort. This is the most-recently certified 70-seat aircraft on the market, and we are proud to start our operations with such a modern, successful and well-reputed aircraft."
Filippo Bagnato, Chief Executive Officer of ATR, added, "We are entering a new and huge market which may bring us substantial commercial opportunities in a country with some 130 million inhabitants. The introduction of these ATR 72-600s with LINK will give us the opportunity of further consolidating our newest 70-seat aircraft as the reference for regional operations. We will make sure for offering all the supports Link will need for its future success in Japan and commit to this important market. The ATR 72-600 features the lowest operating and maintenance costs of the market, as well as the newest navigation aid tools for optimal performances. In addition, we are pleased to bring into Japan an aircraft which is largely recognized as the greenest one among all regional planes."

We're all talking about Republicans on the Hill and their manifold failures. So here are some things President Obama didn't do during the fiscal cliff impasse and some conjecture as to why.
He won but he did not triumph. His victory didn't resolve or ease anything and heralds nothing but more congressional war to come.
He did not unveil, argue for or put on the table the outlines of a grand bargain. That is, he put no force behind solutions to the actual crisis facing our country, which is the hemorrhagic spending that threatens our future. Progress there—even just a little—would have heartened almost everyone. The president won on tax hikes, but that was an emotional, symbolic and ideological victory, not a substantive one. The higher rates will do almost nothing to ease the debt or deficits.
He didn't try to exercise dominance over his party. This is a largely forgotten part of past presidential negotiations: You not only have to bring in the idiots on the other side, you have to corral and control your own idiots.
He didn't deepen any relationships or begin any potential alliances with Republicans, who still, actually, hold the House. The old animosity was aggravated. Some Republicans were mildly hopeful a second term might moderate those presidential attitudes that didn't quite work the first time, such as holding himself aloof from the position and predicaments of those who oppose him, while betraying an air of disdain for their arguments. He is not quick to assume good faith. Some thought his election victory might liberate him, make his approach more expansive. That didn't happen.
The president didn't allow his victory to go unsullied. Right up to the end he taunted the Republicans in Congress: They have a problem saying yes to him, normal folks try to sit down and work it out, not everyone gets everything they want. But he got what he wanted, as surely he knew he would, and Republicans got almost nothing they wanted, which was also in the cards. At Mr. Obama's campfire, he gets to sing "Kumbaya" solo while others nod to the beat.
Serious men don't taunt. And they don't farm the job of negotiating out to the vice president because no one can get anything done with the president. Some Republican said, "He couldn't negotiate his way out of a paper bag." But—isn't this clear by now?—not negotiating is his way of negotiating. And it kind of worked. So expect more.
Mr. Obama's supporters always give him an out by saying, "But the president can't work with them, they made it clear from the beginning their agenda was to do him in." That's true enough. But it's true with every American president now—the other side is always trying to do him in, or at least the other side's big mouths are always braying they'll take him down. They tried to capsize Bill Clinton, they tried to do in Reagan, they called him an amiable dunce and vowed to defeat his wicked ideology.
We live in a polarized age. We have for a while. One of the odd things about the Obama White House is that they are traumatized by the normal.
A lot of the president's staffers were new to national politics when they came in, and they seem to have concluded that the partisan bitterness they faced was unique to him, and uniquely sinister. It's just politics, or the ugly way we do politics now.
After the past week it seems clear Mr Obama doesn't really want to work well with the other side. He doesn't want big bipartisan victories that let everyone crow a little and move forward and make progress. He wants his opponents in disarray, fighting without and within. He wants them incapable. He wants them confused.
I worried the other day that amid all the rancor the president would poison his future relations with Congress, which in turn would poison the chances of progress in, say, immigration reform. But I doubt now he has any intention of working with them on big reforms, of battling out a compromise at a conference table, of having long walks and long talks and making offers that are serious, that won't be changed overnight to something else. The president intends to consistently beat his opponents and leave them looking bad, or, failing that, to lose to them sometimes and then make them look bad. That's how he does politics.
Here's my conjecture: In part it's because he seems to like the tension. He likes cliffs, which is why it's always a cliff with him and never a deal. He likes the high-stakes, tottering air of crisis. Maybe it makes him feel his mastery and reminds him how cool he is, unrattled while he rattles others. He can take it. Can they?
He is a uniquely polarizing figure. A moderate U.S. senator said the other day: "One thing not said enough is he is the most divisive president in modern history. He doesn't just divide the Congress, he divides the country." The senator thinks Mr. Obama has "two whisperers in his head." "The political whisperer says 'Don't compromise a bit, make Republicans look weak and bad.' Another whisperer is not political, it's, 'Let's do the right thing, work together and begin to right the ship.'" The president doesn't listen much to the second whisperer.
Maybe he thinks bipartisan progress raises the Republicans almost to his level, and he doesn't want to do that. They're partisan hacks, they're not big like him. Let them flail.
This, however, is true: The great presidents are always in the end uniters, not dividers. They keep it together and keep it going. And people remember them fondly for that.
In the short term, Mr. Obama has won. The Republicans look bad. John Boehner looks bad, though to many in Washington he's a sympathetic figure because they know how much he wanted a historic agreement on the great issue of his time. Some say he would have been happy to crown his career with it, and if that meant losing a job, well, a short-term loss is worth a long-term crown. Mr. Obama couldn't even make a deal with a man like that, even when it would have made the president look good.
We take political pleasure where we can these days, so we'll end with the fact that 20 women were sworn into the U.S. Senate Thursday, up from the previous record of 17. In an interview with ABC's Diane Sawyer, they spoke of the difference they feel they make. Susan Collins (R., Maine) said that "with all due deference to our male colleagues . . . women's styles tend to be more collaborative." Claire McCaskill (D., Mo.) said women in politics are "less confrontational." Amy Klobuchar (D., Minn.) said they are more supportive of each other. Lisa Murkowski (R., Alaska) suggested women have less "ego." Diane Feinstein (D., Calif.) said they're effective because "we're less on testosterone."
It was refreshing to see so much agreement. It was clear they saw their presence as to some degree an antidote to the roughness and pointless ego of the Senate. To me they seemed an antidote to the current White House.

As the number of characters is limited, models are created whose sole purpose is to fill up the classrooms, halls, and environment of Monster High so as to make the place more lively and realistic. These models are backgrounders, as their role is primarily to stand and walk around in the background while the characters do the story in the foreground.
A few backgrounders have over time been pulled from the background and given a name or even made a fullfledged character. Even fewer others have been incorporated in the Create-A-Monster packs, namely the three-eyed girl and the pink animal girl.
Since the number of backgrounders has become so large, the page has been split into five portions. And these do not yet detail all the backgrounders. For backgrounders who are students from schools other than Monster High or who identify more strongly with their former school, see other backgrounders. For backgrounders with a celebrity status, see celebrity backgrounders.

James Maloy, president of the Concerned Citizens of Gadsden County, along with Dr. Ronald Saff, a Tallahassee allergist, spoke to the Gadsden County School Board last week regarding the proposed biomass facility in Gretna, as well as the Quincy incinerator at Byrd Landfill.
Maloy and the group's members have spoken out against both facilities, citing environmental and health concerns.
Michael Glazer, the Gadsden Hospital Inc. attorney who has been taken the lead in navigating the county through the opening of Gadsden Memorial Hospital, told the Board of County Commissioners during their regular Jan. 19 meeting "a lot is happening."
He said Healthcare Corporation of America, which has signed a letter of intent to operate the hospital, has a list of projections for the hospital for the next 3 to 5 years, including an estimated $700,000 to $800,000 loss with an additional $4.8 to $6.7 million in write-offs, charity and bad debts.
Officials from ADAGE, the company behind the proposed biomass facility in Gretna, were on hand during last week's celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King Day in Gretna.
Robert Parrett, director of business development, told attendees the company will remain "transparent," and promised that not only will Gretna reap the monetary benefits of the facility, but so will the school district.
The city of Midway received a belated Christmas gift Jan. 24 when they brought home a fire engine valued at $63,000, donated by Manatee County.
"We felt like it was Christmas. We've needed another fire engine for so long and with the budget we have, we just couldn't afford it. We searched for financing and funding and then finally we prayed and our prayers were answered," said Agatha Muse-Salters, Midway city manager.
The other day I was standing at my kitchen window, watching it rain. And I was enjoying it. I love rainy days...when I don't have to go anywhere. I love to sit on the porch, with a good book, and just listen to the rain fall. I even like the sound of people driving through the puddles.
As I stood there, I began to look at the puddles in my yard. There was one particularly large one, and I watched as raindrops landed in it. Each raindrop seem to ripple only so far. None of the ripples from any drops made it all the way to the edge of the puddle.
This got me to thinking.
On May 5, 2009, while I was at work, a young man decided he wanted to kick in my front door. Once inside, he ransacked my bedroom and took jewelry. The jewelry, including my deceased mother's ring, was sold for a pittance and quickly melted down at a local establishment.

It was Thanksgiving Day, so families nationwide gathered around their television sets to watch Ndamukong Suh's foot go somewhere it shouldn't.
The Detroit Lions defensive tackle became a household name last Turkey Day when he stomped on Green Bay Packers offensive lineman Evan Dietrich-Smith. That was an egregious offense for which Suh was ejected from the game and received a two-game suspension without pay.
Suh was back at it again Thursday in the Lions' 34-31 overtime loss to the Houston Texans.
Suh wound up kicking Texans quarterback Matt Schaub in the groin after right guard Derek Newton pulled down the Lions behemoth on a first-quarter play. Suh's legs wheeled around, and his foot clobbered Schaub, who limped around afterward. Suh's extra jab move at the end of the play was suspect.
"This is supposed to be a brotherhood," CBS analyst Boomer Esiason said at halftime. "You're supposed to have respect for one another. Bruce Smith, I could always shake his hand; Reggie White, I could always shake his hand after a game. I would never shake this guy's hand because, once again, he has crossed over a line, and it's obvious that it was on purpose."
Schaub, incidentally, wasn't injured and continued to play, although he refused to discuss the incident afterward.
"I don't really have anything to say about that play or that person," Schaub said.
Suh didn't have anything to say, either. He left the Lions' locker room before the media entered.

Agnes Scott Receives $2M Grant for New Global, STEM Initiatives
Thursday, May 22, 2014
DECATUR — Agnes Scott College has received a $2-million grant from The Goizueta Foundation for two new programs, the Goizueta Global Leadership Project and the Goizueta STEM Success Initiative.
"This extraordinary gift from The Goizueta Foundation supports two of Agnes Scott's highest strategic priorities, promoting leadership in a global society and encouraging more women to pursue math and science careers," said Agnes Scott President Elizabeth Kiss, "We are so excited about the innovative teaching and learning this gift will catalyze. It will help Agnes Scott become a college of choice for young women who aspire to confront the world's biggest challenges or who want to help diversify scientific opportunity and leadership in our country and around the world."
The Goizueta Global Leadership Project will support Agnes Scott's new strategic plan, helping the college launch an innovative campus-wide curriculum focused on global learning and leadership development. Funding from The Goizueta Foundation will enable students to understand major global challenges like clean water, human trafficking, and climate change and develop the leadership skills they need to tackle them. The Goizueta Global Leadership Project includes support for interdisciplinary, global issues courses, leadership labs, and an annual Global Leadership Summit.
The Goizueta STEM Success Initiative will bolster Agnes Scott's efforts to encourage more women to pursue careers in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) fields. Goizueta funds will be used to strengthen the college's Resource Center for Math and Science, recruit additional peer tutors and create a new career seminar that connects Agnes Scott students with successful women working in STEM-related professions.
"Agnes Scott can play a major role in developing young women to become the next generation of leaders and hold STEM-related careers," said Olga Goizueta Rawls, Chair and CEO of The Goizueta Foundation and daughter of Roberto C. Goizueta. "My father was a scientist himself and global learning and leadership were priorities for him, so we are proud to honor his legacy and Agnes Scott with this funding."
The grant is the latest of several significant gifts to Agnes Scott. With this gift, the college has now raised more than $80 million toward its $100 million goal for its Greatness Before Us campaign, which entered its public phase in fall 2012 and will conclude in December 2016.
Agnes Scott College educates women to think deeply, live honorably and engage the intellectual and social challenges of their times. Students are drawn to Agnes Scott by its excellent academic reputation, exceptional faculty and metropolitan Atlanta location—offering myriad social, cultural and experiential learning opportunities. This highly selective liberal arts college is known for its diverse and dynamic intellectual community. Through SUMMIT, it provides every student, regardless of major, with an individualized course of study and co-curricular experiences that develop leadership abilities and understanding of complex global dynamics.

Contact: Allison Matthews
Mississippi State University is officially partnering with a South Korean entity which has a complementary research mission with the university's Center for Advanced Vehicular Systems.
MSU Provost and Executive Vice President Jerry Gilbert signed a Memorandum of Understanding, along with Korea Institute of Industrial Technology (KITECH) Incheon Region Division Chief Executive Officer Sang-Mok Lee Friday.
The alliance will allow CAVS and KITECH to support global manufacturers' efforts to develop products and train employees for their facilities in the southeastern United States. Because South Korean companies, including carmakers like Hyundai and Kia, have located in the region, other Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers are also investing in the region. KITECH serves as a research and development resource for small and medium enterprises, such as these suppliers.
The agreement establishes the KITECH-CAVS Center for Root Technologies. 'Root technology' refers to several key technologies of the manufacturing industry -- casting, molding, forming, surface treatment, thermal treatment, and welding/joining technologies, and any related fields.
"We were hoping that this day would come soon. We were delighted to make the agreement while we were at KITECH, and we're so happy that we are following through in this formal way," Gilbert said, referring back to an international trip he and other senior university officials took earlier in the year to develop more collaborative projects with partners abroad.
"KITECH's mission and our mission are so complementary. We thought this was a natural partnership that we need to make flourish," said Vice President for Research and Economic Development David Shaw.
CAVS is a premier research entity within the Bagley College of Engineering. Dean Sarah Rajala said the research and economic impact produced by the center and their extension office has garnered prestigious national awards.
Specifically, MSU and KITECH will encourage direct contact and cooperation between their faculty and research staffs. They also will jointly execute research projects, as well as facilitate personnel exchanges.
Roger King, CAVS director and endowed chair, said the center is KITECH's manufacturing research partner in the U.S. They also fund research with partners in Germany, China and Japan.
"This partnership will be a driving force behind new industry creation for the region as well as technological innovation," King said.
For more information about CAVS, see www.cavs.msstate.edu.

The spiritual journey is one of continuous learning and purification. When you know this, you become humble. There is a famous Tibetan saying: "Do not mistake understanding for realization, and do not mistake realization for liberation." And Milarepa said: "Do not entertain hopes for realization, but practice all your life."
Don't be in too much of a hurry to solve all your doubts and problems. As the masters say: "Make haste slowly." I always tell my students not to have unreasonable expectations, because it takes time for spiritual growth. It takes years to learn Japanese properly or to become a doctor. Can we really expect to have all the answers, let alone become enlightened, in a few weeks?

'Buddhism is all about transforming the mind: transforming through prayer, transforming through meditation, transforming through compassion... and, of course, the nature of mind.If you transform your mind then you will transform your own perceptions and your experience. Thereby even circumstances, and outer appearances will begin to change and appear differently.As the buddha said, 'We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts we make the world'.'
'As you continue to practise meditation, you may have all kinds of experiences, both good and bad. Negative experiences are often the most misleading because we usually take them as a bad sign. But in fact the negative experiences in our practice are blessings in disguise. Try not to react to them with aversion as you might normally do, but recognize them instead for what they truly are, merely experiences, illusory and dream-like.'
'The realization of the true nature of the experience liberates you from the harm or danger of the experience itself, and as a result even a negative experience can become a source of great blessing and accomplishment.When you really realize the teachings in a profound way, you realize the teachings are all about love'
"What is compassion? It is not simply a warmth of heart toward the person before you, or a sharp clarity of recognition of their needs and pain, it is also a sustained and practical determination to do whatever is possible and necessary to help alleviate their suffering. Compassion is not true compassion unless it is active."
The Buddha said:
"Just as a mother would protect her only child at the risk of her own life, so cultivate a boundless heart towards all beings. Let your thoughts of boundless love pervade the whole world."
"Let your love flow outward through the universe,
To its height, its depth, its broad extent,
A limitless love, without hatred or enmity.
Then as you stand or walk,
Sit or lie down,
As long as you are awake,
Strive for this with a one-pointed mind;
Your life will bring heaven to earth."
'Anyone looking honestly at life will see that we live in a constant state of suspense and ambiguity. Our minds are perpetually shifting in and out of confusion and clarity. If we could be confused all the time, that would at least make for some kind of clarity. What is really baffling about life is that sometimes, despite all our confusion, we can also be really wise! This constant uncertainty may make everything seem bleak and almost hopeless; but if you look more deeply at it, you will see that its very nature creates "gaps," spaces in which profound chances and opportunities for transformation are continuously flowering—if, that is, they can be seen and seized.'

'Over 2,500 years ago, a man who had been searching for the truth for many, many lifetimes came to a quiet place in northern India and sat down under a tree. He continued to sit under the tree, with immense resolve, and vowed not to get up until he had found the truth. At dusk, it is said, he conquered all the dark forces of delusion; and early the next morning, as the star Venus broke in the dawn sky, the man was rewarded for his age-long patience, discipline, and flawless concentration by achieving the final goal of human existence, enlightenment. At that sacred moment, the earth itself shuddered, as if "drunk with bliss," and as the scriptures tell us, "No one anywhere was angry, ill, or sad; no one did evil, none was proud; the world became quite quiet, as though it had reached full perfection." This man became known as the Buddha.'

March 13, 2008
Author and National Review magazine contributing editor Jonah Goldberg visited Wabash on Wednesday night to discuss his latest New York Times bestseller, Liberal Fascism. Throughout the lecture, sponsored by The Wabash Conservative Union, Goldberg outlined the main points and assertions in his book, providing examples and citing some of the research footnoted in his book.
Goldberg described the book as an attempt to demonstrate that American progressives are the intellectual heirs of fascism, not American conservatives. For too long, said Goldberg, conservatives have been labeled as fascist and the word has been used to chastise without any consideration for the historical and intellectual history of the word.
"I'll be honest," Goldberg said, "part of the reason for me to write this book was because I was tired of being called a fascist." Goldberg explained that the first half of his book is an attempt to place fascism on the left of the political spectrum in America. In none of the critical reviews of the book, he said, has anyone made a coherent intellectual rebuttal to this initial attempt to place fascism on the left side of the political spectrum. The section of the book that there has caused the most rancor and controversy, Goldberg said, was the second half of the book.
The remaining pages of Liberal Fascism are devoted to exploring the links between the fascism of the early twentieth century and modern American progressivism. Goldberg provided numerous examples from his books to support his hypothesis.
During the question and answer period, there was a lively exchange from a variety of questioners, some of whom agreed with Goldberg's thesis and others who did not. During an answer to one question which had focused on the appropriateness of linking "fascist" with "progressive," Goldberg responded with a hypothetical. Hillary Clinton, he explained, had once been asked what a liberal was during a Youtube.com debate. She had responded liberal had come to mean all these different things and that what she was best described as a modern progressive. Goldberg then suggested that the audience reflect on what the reaction would be if someone like Mike Huckabee were to answer a similar question by saying that since conservatism has come to mean all these things, he is best described as a Confederate. There would be outrage, Goldberg assured the audience, with people claiming that the candidate failed to recognize the historical allusions to American history. Goldberg explained that his hope in writing the book was to make people similarly recognize the intellectual link between fascism and progressivism.
Overall, reaction to the event appeared to be positive. A full reception followed the event in which people stayed to talk amongst themselves or ask additional questions of Goldberg. Some people even asked him to sign posters or copies of his Liberal Fascism book. Adam Brasich '11, a member of The Wabash Conservative Union was pleased with the event. "I thought he did an excellent job of explaining and defending his positions. He appeared to be very knowledgeable about the subject."
Michael Nossett '11 agreed and was impressed by Goldberg's ability to make his case and address criticism.
Steve Hernandez '09, still had some concerns about the book. "I have done a lot of research on Franco and would have liked to see him address Franco during his lecture." Criticism aside, Hernandez did describe the lecture as overall interesting.

You're dating again, after years, maybe decades, away from the dating scene. How do you handle sex with a new person? Do you use/require condoms? Do you get tested for HIV and other STDs and request the same from your partner? What questions do you ask? In other words, what steps do you take to protect your sexual health?
When Robert and I started dating, we used condoms, talked openly about our previous experiences, and got tested. I don't know if most people our age do that, or if they assume that they're not at risk. I'd love to hear from you about this.
I wish I had included this topic in my book, and I may include it in a future magazine article. Please either post your comments here or email them to me, and I'll post them for you.
Thanks --

If Walls Could Talk / Kerry Zentner / Protocosmos
Kerry Zentner is an award winning Toronto-born visual artist. His work playfully confronts the existential terror of post-twentieth-century being, examining the ebb and flow between cosmic forces of entropy and the effects of our fundamental collective human will to imagine.
In Zentner's installation, he shows the relationship between living entities and their nonliving environment to be a calamitous playground for pure ontological struggle. Zentner creates a new entropic territory in which the definitions of matter as living or nonliving, and the temporal division between these states, comes under conceptual prosecution.
IWCT is an experiential illustration event that will be on public display at the Gladstone Hotel from March 6–16, 2014.
Curated by Leila Courey, IWCT is a juried exhibition of experiential illustration that features work by emerging and established artists. Selected projects use illustration—or other art forms related to it—to occupy or alter the hotel's 2nd floor gallery and public spaces, in dramatic, conceptual, and experimental ways.
We'd like to thank media sponsor Applied Arts Magazine and agency sponsor Zulu Alpha Kilo, for their generous support.

Sundarbans: Nature's bioshield
The Sundarbans – meaning "beautiful forest" in the local Bengali dialect - is the largest mangrove forest in the world.
Stretching along the coastline of India and Bangladesh, this complex maze of mangrove trees and waterways mark the area where land meets the sea and freshwater meets seawater.
Wildllife thrive in this unique and delicately balanced ecosystem and it is home to large numbers of mammals, birds and fish. It is also one of the largest haunts of the endangered Royal Bengal tiger.
But the Sundarbans value extends beyond just providing a habitat for these magnificent animals; it also protects the densely populated Bay of Bengal from cyclones and the worst extremes of nature.
Yet, it is now threatened by man's activities, including land reclamation, logging and shrimp farming. In fact, this vast tract of mud and tangles of roots is now being destroyed faster than almost any other ecosystem on Earth, removing this essential barrier and the rich habitat.
In this film sustainability advisor and author Tony Juniper, environmental economist Pavan Sukhdev, and lead scientist with The Nature Conservancy Dr M Sanjayan reveal the wildlife this strange and magical forest supports and explore the hidden strengths that make it such an effective coastal defence.
