Macey Scholar Nikki Porch
SOCORRO, N.M. May 10, 2011 -- A graduate of Gallup High School and the McKinley County Senior of the Year, Nikki Porch is a standout student and consummate community member in the Biology Department.
|Nikki Porch
Macey Scholar 2011-2012
She has a 3.99 GPA and expects to graduate in four years with a biology major and two minors in psychology and chemistry. She's also found time to take courses in art and photography. She credits much of her success to the fostering environment at New Mexico Tech.
"The fact that NMT provides a supportive and intellectually stimulating atmosphere has allowed me to flourish both inside and outside the lecture hall," she wrote in her application. Tech "is such a remarkable university because it satisfies the natural inquisitiveness of its students by offering unparalleled academic and research opportunities."
Porch won the 2010 Undergraduate Award in Analytical Chemistry and has landed a prestigious internship at the Center of Neuroscience at the University of Pittsburgh in 2011. The program is part of the Research Experience for Undergraduates, which is a nation-wide program funded by the National Science Foundation. She'll be working on a project that examines the susceptibility of adolescent rats to stress-induced depression, which serves as an analog for human disorders.
"I'm really excited," she said. "I'm looking forward to delving into neuroscience research because so much of it is still a mystery. I don't know exactly what type of neuroscience research I want to focus on for the long-term, but I know I like this field."
For the past year, Porch has been working on an interdisciplinary research project with biology professor Dr. Snezna Rogelj. She has been screening and characterizing antifungal drug compounds, which were created by a team in the Chemistry Department.
In March 2011, Porch presented a research poster at the New Mexico-INBRE Conference in Santa Fe. She will also be a co-author of a publication related to that research.
Porch caught the eye of Dr. Rogelj when she earned a perfect score on a diagnostic exam in Cell Biology.
"Nikki was truly impressive academically – and also an absolute pleasure to have in class," Rogelj wrote in her nomination letter. "She is responsible, organized and absolutely dedicated to her neuroscience-oriented professional goals, articulate and charmingly pleasant."
Rogelj hired Porch in the fall of 2010 and "within a matter of weeks, was presenting absolutely outstanding data."
Porch has participated in several service projects. She is an active member of Beta Beta Beta, the biology honor society. She has worked at a blood drive and helped design and proctor the Disease Detective event at the Science Olympiad in 2010. She also served as a judge at this year's N.M. Science Fair.
"I like helping with Science Olympiad and Science Fair because it's so wonderful to interact with younger students who are excited about science. It's fun to encourage them … and be encouraged by them," she said
She has been involved with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship since she came to Tech in 2008 and took on a leadership role in 2010. She is also a Residential Assistant in her dorm and has planned special events, both academic and social. For the past three summers, she has worked in a pharmacy, first as a cashier, then as a certified pharmacy technician.
"I've had to be very dedicated and goal-oriented to keep on top of things at Tech," Porch said. "At times it can be somewhat tiring or strenuous, but I enjoy it and I've learned to value delayed gratification. I've also been blessed with an amazing support system."
Porch aims to enter a doctoral program that combines her three academic interests – neuroscience.
Rogelj said, "Her academic and research-based brilliance will surely be rewarded by acceptance into a challenging doctoral program and she is certain to make major contributions in the world of neuroscience."

"Gordon James Kilingenschmitt was a Navy Chaplain who was court-martialed for refusing to follow orders, lying, and generally not acting like a navy officer should. Now he is getting into trouble with a website that gives the illusion that he is still a Navy chaplain. No suprise here, he is now calling for God to kill people he disagrees with.
Last November, I wrote about Cindy Jacobs who is a leader in the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) movement.
Cindy Jacobs is a leader in the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) movement within the larger Charismatic Christian community. NAR churches are extremely cult-like and controlling of their members.
These churches preach a warped version of the Prosperity Gospel. Unlike the general Charismatic or Pentecostal churches, NAR churches preach that Christians need to grab power in this world and control everything in order to bring about the return of Christ. According to Bruce Wilson:
As the top leader of the New Apostolic Reformation, which extensive evidence suggests is Sarah Palin's chosen religious and political movement, C. Peter Wagner proclaimed, on June 21, 2006, that "God has declared through His prophets that the wealth of the wicked will be released to the Kingdom of God," and Wagner declared, threateningly, "the enemies' camp will be plundered."
The highlighted statement "God has declared through His prophets that the wealth of the wicked will be released to the Kingdom of God," and Wagner declared, threateningly, "the enemies' camp will be plundered." will set the tone for this post.
Today, I read the latest about former navy chaplain Gordon James Klingenschmitt via Friendly Atheist. Ex-chaplain Klingenschmitt was court-martialed out of the navy for refusing to follow orders to honor religious pluralism in his duties as a navy chaplain. He has a website where he gives the impression that he is still a Navy Chaplain. Here is a little background on why Klingenschmitt was court-martialed.
Naval regulations forbid service members from wearing their uniforms to political or partisan events. This directive is clear and has been in place for a long time. Nevertheless, Klingenschmitt insisted on wearing his uniform to a Religious Right-hosted protest and press conference opposing the military's inclusive policies on religion. He showed up on the street outside the White House in the company of former Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore, Religious Right activist Rob Schenck and Texas preacher-politician Rick Scarborough. (Americans United staffers were there, so we know. See picture.)
And here is a scathing interview from Klingensschmitt's former boss, Capt. Norm Holcomb:
Holcomb also clarifies an important point: Klingenschmitt, despite what his defenders say, was not punished for praying in the name of Jesus. He was court-martialed for refusing to follow orders. It's a simple as that.
"I was the dishonored ex-chaplain's supervisor for the past 2 years," Holcomb wrote in his message. "I found him to be totally untruthful, unethical and insubordinate. He was and is contemptuous of all authority. He was not court martialed for praying in Jesus' name. I sent him out in uniform every week to pray at various ceremonies and functions. He always prayed in uniform and in Jesus' name. He was never told that he could not pray in Jesus' name. In fact, the issue of prayer had nothing at all to do with his dismissal from the Navy. He disobeyed the lawful order of a senior officer. I am sure that you understand that Navy Regulations forbid any of us, regardless of rank or position, to appear in uniform in support of any political or partisan event."
Holcomb goes on to say, "He appeared in direct support of a political event, demonstrating contempt for the order of his Commanding Officer and Naval Regulations that we all swear that we will abide by…. The ex-chaplain is a man without honor and you have accepted his story and in doing so you have had 'the wool pulled over your eyes.'
He writes, "We have been relatively quiet regarding our ex-chaplain's untruthfulness and lack of honor because we are embarrassed that one of our own could display such behavior in the name of our Lord. We wanted to spare all concerned the embarrassment associated with his dishonesty. However, it now seems that it would be wrong for those of us who know the truth to remain silent. I served with him and supervised him (as best as it was possible to supervise a person who refused to submit to lawful authority) and I know about his daily dishonesty and 'spin' of the truth."
Well, you can clearly see the lack of character of Gordon Klingenschmitt. Lying for Jesus seems to be a full-time job for him. A military chaplain is first and foremost a military officer, and then a minister. If he only wanted to be a preacher with no intention of honoring the religiously pluralistic environment in the military, then he should have become a minister instead of a chaplain.
Americans United noticed that Klingsenschmitt had a website where he was giving the appearance that he was still a navy chaplain. Mikey Weinstein at MRFF also had noticed the website.
We at Americans United were surprised, therefore, to receive copies of an e-mail Klingenschmitt issued recently promoting his new right-wing political Web site www.prayinjesusname.org. On the site, Klingenschmitt referred to himself as "Chaplain Gordon James Klingenschmitt," and included a large picture of himself in a naval uniform. The e-mail and the Web site implored people to oppose President Barack Obama's nomination of U.S. District Judge David Hamilton to the U.S. 7th Circuit Court of Appeals.
It's likely anyone unfamiliar with Klingenschmitt's history who received this e-mail or visited the site would assume he was an active-duty chaplain. In fact, some people who sent the message to AU thought just that.
Out in New Mexico, Mikey Weinstein of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF) knew something wasn't right. Federal law prohibits misuse of military uniforms. It appeared that Klingenschmitt was attempting to depict himself as an active-duty military chaplain to raise money and recruit people for his right-wing group – a violation of federal law.
Here is the letter that Mikey Weinstein and AU sent to the Navy asking them to investigate this matter. Now it looks like Klingenschmitt has added a disclaimer indicating that he his not currently a Navy Chaplain. Hmm, betcha, he also does not mention that he is a court-martialed ex-navy chaplain either.
How does Klingenschmitt respond to these allegations? Why with an impreccatory prayer of course.
"Let us pray. Almighty God, today we pray imprecatory prayers from Psalm 109 against the enemies of religious liberty, including Barry Lynn and Mikey Weinstein, who recently issued a press release attacking me personally. God, do not remain silent, for wicked men surround me and tell lies about me. We bless them, but they curse us. Therefore, find them guilty, not me. Let their days be few, and replace them with Godly people. Plunder their fields, and seize their assets. Cut off their descendants, and remember their sins, in Jesus' name. Amen."
Listening to the mp3 file, I thought it was a strange podcast. It starts like he is still on the ship calling every one to pray. It's like he can't let go of his Navy career. Well, if he wanted to remain in the Navy, then he should have followed the orders of his superior officers. Klingenschmitt wants Barry Lynn and Mikey Weinstein dead. He hides like a coward behind his god's skirts by pretending this is what his god wants. What a nutcase.
This imprecatory prayer is no different from Cindy Jacobs and her call for unbelievers like myself to be killed and our property and assets to be plundered by these Joel's Army fanatics. Well this unbeliever won't stand idly by and let myself and family be slaughtered and my property be confiscated by these assholes."

I guess these days everybody is busy getting their Christmas trees and gifts, planning for a great Holiday celebration! We are excited too, but this is also the time that we miss our families the most! How I wish I could celebrate Christmas and the New Year with my family! But I guess this time around, its just me and my lil family here.
Oh boy, it sure feels like winter here in Minnesota!! With sub-zero temperatures and heavy snow-falls, you dont feel like doing much!! But then who can resist fresh home-baked goods on a cold wintry day!? And since they have a good storage life, they can be made in advance and makes for a great make-ahead homemade Christmas gift for your loved ones! I baked these Cranberry-Pistachio Biscottis a week before. The smell of these crisp Italian treat filling the house is a treat by itself! I had tried Hazelnut biscottis before, but this is my first experience with cranberries!! And I should say I like those lil cuties. For these, however, I used dried cranberries. I followed the recipe on www.joyofbaking.com. The whole batch disappeared in just two days! Snuggle up on a couch with a cup of hot cocoa and a few of these biscottis and trust me, you will be in heaven!
Recipe (Makes 16-20):
Granulated white sugar - 2/3 cup
Eggs - 2, large
Pure vanilla extract - 1 tsp
Baking powder - 3/4 tsp
Salt - 1/8 tsp
All-purpose flour - 1 3/4 cups
Shelled unsalted pistachios - 1/2 cup, coarsely chopped
Dried cranberries or cherries - 1/2 cup, coarsely chopped
- Instead of 350F, I preheated and baked at 325F.
- The biscotti log was initially baked for 25 minutes.
- After slicing the biscotti log, the individual biscottis were initially baked for 8 minutes, turned over and baked for another 7-8 minutes.
- I used about 1/4 cup pistachios and 1/2 cup chopped dried cranberries.
I am sending these to my own event "Santa's Holiday Challenge". Dont forget that its going to be a giveaway contest with first and second prizes. You can send as many entries as you would like.

PROVO – More than 800 fathers and sons from across the country spent Memorial Day weekend bonding through sports and spiritual activities at Brigham Young University.
"The BYU fathers-and-sons camp is the biggest camp we do, and we think it's the best camp we do," said Brian Santiago, BYU senior associate athletics director. "It highlights the special relationship between fathers and sons and it's a great opportunity for them to connect. It's a camp we look forward to."
Santiago said about 825 people attended the 14th annual fathers-and-sons camp. These campers participated in multiple activities, interacted with BYU coaches and athletes, ate in the cafeteria and slept in the dorms from Friday to Monday, May 25-28.
In order to accommodate more campers, more activities ("stations") were added this year. Participants played 3-on-3 basketball, flag football, baseball, soccer, kickball and other team sports. They also watched the BYU baseball team play Gonzaga University and were able to experience carrying the "Y" flag and being on the football field at LaVell Edwards Stadium.
Santiago said other highlights included traveling to Temple Square on Sunday to attend "Music and the Spoken Word" at the Salt Lake Tabernacle, followed by sacrament meeting in the Assembly Hall.
Elder Gifford Nielsen, an Area Seventy of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, spoke in the meeting, along with BYU basketball coach Dave Rose and Rose's wife and daughter.
Elder Nielsen described the meeting as a deeply spiritual experience and said he enjoyed listening to Coach Rose and his family. In his remarks, he encouraged the fathers and sons to share their favorite scripture with each other during the day. He shared his favorite scripture, Matthew 5:14-16, and exhorted the men and boys to "let their lights so shine before men."
"Is there anything better than seeing fathers with arms around their sons? When you have fathers and sons, it's important to bond with special memories and traditions," said Elder Nielsen, a former BYU and NFL quarterback. "I didn't see everything (over the weekend), but what I did see was full of goodness, respect, faith and a foundation of Jesus Christ — a good recipe for success."
The 10 priests and 24 deacons who administered and passed the bread and water to such a massive congregation impressed Elder Nielsen.
"It was really remarkable to witness the young men exercise their priesthood duties," Elder Nielsen said, "and the way they did it was beautiful."
On Sunday evening, former BYU, NBA and international basketball player Travis Hansen spoke at a fireside. Hansen, who took part in the camp as a player and who was attending for the first time with his sons, shared experiences from his playing days, his mission and his charitable foundation. He encouraged the young men to set goals and prepare to serve missions.
"The camp was phenomenal and well-run," Hansen said. "As a father, you are looking to spend quality time with your son, and I can't think of a better place to do it. It was a unique experience."
Recently returned missionary and Cougar basketball player Tyler Haws and his father, Marty Haws, also a former BYU player, spoke to the camp attendees Monday morning. Tyler Haws said he grew up attending the fathers-and-sons camp with his father and relished coming back. While overseeing the 3-on-3 station with his father, he had fun meeting and shaking hands with campers from Virginia to California.
"Many had seen the LDS.org video and they wanted to talk about it," Haws said. "They thanked me for trying to be a good example."
In his remarks, Haws spoke of the impact his mission to the Philippines had on his life.
"I said my mission was the greatest blessing that has ever happened to me, and I tried to help kids realize the importance of serving a mission, making the decision to serve and preparing for when that time comes," he said. "If they invite us back, I'd be excited to do it again."
Because the camp fills so rapidly each year, Santiago advised that fathers and sons plan ahead and register early for 2013. For more information, visit www.byusportscamps.com.
"It's a pretty high-demand camp, but a must for any father who wants to spend time with his son and experience what BYU athletics is all about," Santiago said.

My research interests include artificial intelligence and the creation of intelligent agents. In particular, my thesis research focuses on decision-theoretic planning, meta-level reasoning and autonomous indoor and outdoor mobile robots. My masters work includes research on formal specifications of agent properties and inductive logic learning. Prior to graduate school, I helped develop intelligent database access applications for bibliographic and corporate databases at Bell Northern Research. Throughout my research, my aim has been to combine theoretical and empirical investigations to generate novel solutions to real problems. I believe that empirical evidence leads to theoretical insight, which, in turn, suggests directions for further experimentation. In the end, approaches and ideas are validated when successfully applied to solving a real problem.
Consider the problem of developing a mobile robot to operate efficiently and robustly in an office environment. This is a problem that I use to ground my thesis research. A mobile robot is dynamic, has noisy sensors, and unreliable actuators. It has to deal with a limited sensing range and limited computation. Early attempts to apply symbolic AI planning techniques to mobile robots showed that simple, STRIPS-like planning approaches are impoverished, but still lead to calculations that are intractable or even undecidable. To deal with the complexities of planning for mobile robots, many researchers have adopted probability theory and have borrowed ideas from economics to create decision-theoretic planners. The result is a richer planning language and task representation that more accurately describes the planning problem, but exacerbates the computation problems.
My thesis work addresses these computation problems by explicitly allocating resources to efficiently accomplish the task at hand rather than just trying to create the best plan. Building on the decision-theoretic planning approach, my thesis research examines the meta-level planning problem of how to effectively allocate computation and the meta-level question of when to plan and when to act. I have shown how a decision-theoretic planner can make some planning decisions optimally, and I have advanced the state-of-the-art for using sensitivity analysis in planning search control. I identified a limitation in a proposed idealized algorithm for deciding when to act and devised a new idealized algorithm without the limitation. Using my mathematical results, I created a planner that can efficiently route our mobile robot, Xavier, around our research building. The planner takes into account the robot's performance characteristics and plans for contingencies, like locked doors. I have also applied the same mathematical results to a domain independent planner, DRIPS, developed at the University of Wisconsin. As a result, the planner's performance has more than doubled when the planner is used to create treatment policies for a domain taken from the medical literature. The planner can now consider a larger range of treatments and determine the optimal treatment policy.
As computers get faster and networks grow larger, it is becoming apparent that simply building larger, faster machines is not a panacea for all our computation problems. We use faster computers to solve larger problems, with more detailed models. We use larger networks to provide access to vast amounts of data that can be used to build better models or monitor ongoing processes. The questions of how detailed a model to use and how much data to collect remain critical to performance. Computer resources need to be allocated effectively and must adapt to specific problem instances. This observation holds for a broad range of applications from traditional operations research optimization problems to database accesses and dynamic network reconfiguration. The meta-level reasoning techniques I have developed in my thesis are applicable whenever computation can be traded for solution quality, or resource use can be traded for latency. For example, machine shop scheduling and logistics planning are areas where where my techniques are applicable and where small improvements in efficiency translate into significant financial advantages.

Electing where to send a rover on the diverse landscape of Mars is no easy task. With a lot at stake, two sides of the Mars team--scientists and engineers--have been lobbying for the best candidate landing site for the Mars Science Laboratory rover.
Scientists have been poring over data from Mars orbiters. They have searched for sites that are most likely to help us understand Mars' ability to support life in the past. In September 2008, the scientists narrowed their favorites to seven.
Meanwhile, engineers have been studying the safety of each landing site. They scoped out dangerous rocks and hills to understand how well the rover can drive over each terrain. Then, they produced their own "party's" picks.
In November, the scientists and engineers united in a "caucus" to choose their favorite four sites (labeled in white). In Spring 2009, they can jointly make a recommendation to NASA for the final vote.

Looking briefly at the API documentation, it appears one has to have a "programId" to do a metadata retrieval. I didn't see an API function for obtaining the programId for a given episode of a given series, or for getting a list of all programId's for an entire series along with episode titles for each episode, or something similar.
I author a free program called Metagenerator 3 which currently uses the theTVDB.com API to search for this info:
http://pytivo.sourceforge.net/forum/met ... t1786.html
I'm wondering if sd would offer advantages?

Theme: School Days — Each theme answer is a familiar phrase that starts with a word that can mean a specific year in high school or college.
Theme answers:
- 16A: Newcomer to Capitol Hill (FRESHMAN SENATOR).
- 25A: Promising rookies' doses of reality (SOPHOMORE SLUMPS).
- 41A: Young company supervisor (JUNIOR EXECUTIVE).
- 56A: Breaks for AARP members (SENIOR DISCOUNTS).
BIOG. is kind of an ugly abbreviation (15A: Bookstore sect.), but at least it gives me a chance to remind you that when you see an abbreviation in the clue, that means the answer will also be an abbreviation or a short form. Also not thrilled with the gratuitous plurals on ARKS and ALFS (20A: Vessels like Noah's / 1D: TV E.T. and namesakes), although at least they don't cross another plural at the S the way SSN'S and HALOS do (24D: Federal IDs / 34A: Heavenly head covers).
Nice colloquial phrases in today's grid incluce HAS A SHOT and "UP HERE!" (4D: Just might pull it off / 42D: "Psst!" from above). A shout-out to the late great Arthur ASHE is nice here on the last day of this year's U.S. Open. And ADD UP as clued (61A: Make sense, to a detective) made me picture Columbo, which always makes me chuckle. So that's good.
Other than that, I'd say OINK is a great entry (7D: Sound from a snout) and, with college wrestling season just around the corner, I loved seeing PIN in the grid (27D: Wrestler's objective). It also offers me the perfect opportunity to share this video with you. I'm pretty sure none of you will come away from it feeling like you could watch it All Day Long (which is what I did), but if you like country music and/or sports, I think you'll get a kick out of it.

Real World perspective.
The Sound Effects in TRON were created by several people on an extremely short budget, compared to other movies at the time. Supervising Sound Designer, Michael Fremer and Sound Designer Frank Serafine created the majority of the sound effects, with Gordon Ecker, Robert Hathaway and Wylie Stateman supervising the sound editing department.
Creation of the Sound EffectsEdit
Many of the sound effects were created, or rather "modified", with audio effects like Delay, Flangers and Phasers - these effects are used very frequently in the music industry.
Frank Serafine has described how the distinctive lightcycle sound was created by a combination of sounds from motorcycles and a Sequential Circuits Prophet 5 synthesizer.

Q: I've had terrible nausea. Can this mean I'm having a boy?
A: For centuries, expectant parents have been trying to determine the gender of their babies in utero by scrutinizing everything from morning sickness to how the mother is carrying to fetal heart rate. While looking for clues to this mystery may be part of the fun and excitement of pregnancy, none of these factors has been shown to accurately predict gender.However, one thing that can be said about pregnancy-induced nausea is that the severity of a woman's symptoms tends to be fairly consistent from one pregnancy to the next. This tells us that each woman;s physical response to her body's increased hormone production not the baby's gender helps determine if, and how severely, she will experience morning sickness.In the meantime, remember that nausea is the most common complaint of early pregnancy, and it usually subsides without treatment within the first trimester.

Money Laundering
Criminals have long used money laundering schemes to conceal or "clean" the source of fraudulently obtained or stolen funds. Money laundering poses significant risks to the safety and soundness of the U.S. financial industry. With the advent of terrorists who employ money-laundering techniques to fund their operations, the risk expands to encompass the safety and security of the nation. Through sound operations, banks play an important role in helping investigative and regulatory agencies identify money-laundering entities and take appropriate action.

Cutting prices on your newest SUV by an average of $4,300 is one way to make a "Bold Move," or a desperate one, really considering the current model just isn't selling. We guess that explains why Ford's dropped the base MSRP on all packages of its new big-ass SUV by a whopping $4,300. Although we've got to say, the exterior of this big SUV, inspired by the beast of burden looks of the Ford F-Series pickup, looks better than the '06 model no matter how pimp the package purchased. But with that big 5.4 liter 3-valve Triton V8 engine, you know it'll suck down gas like it's going out of style — so guess where the "savings" will really be going — and no, you're first guess shouldn't be your pocket. Re-familiarize yourself with Ford's newest Bold Move in the picture gallery below, and click the jump to get the full press release from FoMoCo.
* Redesigned 2007 Ford Expedition will add standard AdvanceTrac with RSC (Roll Stability Control) and three-row Safety Canopy side curtain airbags - and start below $30,000.
* Across the range, 2007 Expedition base MSRPs will average $4,300 less than 2006 models, despite more comfort, capability and new standard equipment.
* All new, extended length Ford Expedition EL introduced to cater to customers who need more seating and cargo capacity than the standard model.
* All Expeditions will offer the best package of warranty and roadside assistance of any full-size SUV.
* Ford is expecting as much as a 9-percentage point improvement in resale values.
DEARBORN, Mich., July 24, 2006 - The new, redesigned 2007 Ford Expedition is bolder, more comfortable and capable, and it will feature standard Safety Canopy three-row side air curtains, AdvanceTrac with RSC (Roll Stability Control) and a starting price below $30,000, including destination and delivery. In addition, the Expedition will offer the best warranty and roadside assistance package of any full-size SUV.
Across the Expedition range, manufacturer's suggested retail prices (MSRPs) have been reduced an average of $4,300, compared with 2006 models, despite more standard equipment. Base MSRPs for the 2007 Expedition range from $29,995 to $40,745.
Prices for comparable 2006 models range from $33,480 to $44,460. All prices include destination and delivery charges of $820.
The new Expedition limited warranty - like all 2007 Ford brand products - begins with bumper- to-bumper coverage for three years or 36,000 miles and includes five years or 60,000 miles of powertrain coverage. The warranty is fully transferable and there are no deductibles. Complimentary roadside assistance is offered for the full duration of the warranty.
"The Way Forward plan is driving our product strategy, which is founded on bold American design, innovation and creating real value for consumers," said Al Giombetti, president of Ford and Lincoln Mercury Marketing and Sales. "We're already seeing meaningful improvements in the resale value of Ford products as we launch new vehicles, add more standard features and content and introduce straightforward pricing."
For example, Ford is estimating that the 36-month lease-end residual values of the 2007 Ford Expedition will be as high as 49 percent - a 9-point increase compared with the 2006 model.
More Capable, More Comfortable,
Since its introduction in 1997, Expedition has led the full-size SUV segment through innovation, introducing several firsts to the full-size SUV segment - including independent rear suspension, fold-flat seats with an available power-folding third row, Safety Canopy side air curtains and AdvanceTrac with RSC (Roll Stability Control).
For 2007, Ford has redesigned the Expedition from top to bottom, and made many innovative features and technologies standard equipment, including.
* A bold new exterior design inspired by Ford F-Series pickup trucks.
* 5.4-liter Triton V-8 engine (300 hp, 365 lb.-ft torque) and a new 6-speed automatic transmission which deliver best-in-class 9,200 pounds maximum towing capacity - 300 pounds more than last year.
* Second-generation independent rear suspension provides improved ride and handling.
* Seating for up to nine passengers in an all-new interior featuring improved comfort, appearance and craftsmanship.
* Front row Captain's Chairs are now standard.
* New second- and third-row seats fold flat and level. Expedition's third row seats offer a full foot more legroom than the Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban, and the Toyota Sequoia.
* New standard safety features include AdvanceTrac with RSC and Safety Canopy three-row side air curtains. The Expedition is the only full-size SUV to start under $30,000 with standard three-row air curtains.
* The Expedition's frame has been redesigned to further improve vehicle-to-vehicle compatibility in front-impact collisions.
New options for 2007 include 20-inch chrome-clad wheels, a new DVD-based navigation system, SIRIUS satellite radio, and a power liftgate.
Other available equipment includes PowerFold third row seats and a second-row bench with a Centerslide middle seat section.
The Ford Expedition EL
Extensive research - including feedback gleaned from Expedition's 1.4 million-customer owner base - led Ford to design the new, extended length Ford Expedition EL.
With 92 percent of Expedition customers using their vehicle for vacations, 60 percent transporting outdoor sports gear and 84 percent routinely carrying more than three passengers behind the first row, cargo space is highly valued - especially when all three rows of seats are being used.
That led Ford engineers to stretch the Expedition's wheelbase and body a total of almost 15 inches to create an additional 24 cubic feet of storage space behind the third row - 130 percent more than the standard model.
Expedition Prices at a Glance
For 2007, Ford has simplified the Expedition lineup to three trim levels - XLT, Eddie Bauer and Limited - and reduced starting prices an average of $4,300.
The Expedition XLT is the new entry-level model, with a starting price that is $3,485 lower than the previous base model, the Expedition XLS.
All Expedition and Expedition EL models are available with 4x4 capability for an additional $2,900. The all-new Expedition EL is priced $2,650 above the comparably equipped base Expedition series.

LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Alysheba, winner of the 1987 Kentucky Derby and Preakness and chosen 1988 Horse of the Year, has died. The champion stallion was 25.
The charismatic star, dubbed "America's Horse" by racing fans, Alysheba was euthanized Friday night following a fall in his stall at the Kentucky Horse Park's Hall of Champions, where he was buried Saturday.
The son of racing legend Alydar became a sensation for trainer Jack Van Berg and owners Dorothy and Pamela Scharbauer during a brilliant career that included a win in the 1988 Breeders' Cup Classic. He retired as horse racing's all-time money winner with more than $6.6 million in earnings from 11 victories in 26 lifetime starts.
Hall of Fame jockey Chris McCarron, who piloted Alysheba to victory in the first two legs of the Triple Crown, called him "the most talented horse I ever rode."
The talent became evident during Alysheba's stirring Derby win over Bet Twice. He stumbled in the stretch before catching himself to run down his rival in the final yards.
Only upon replay did McCarron realize how close his trip had come to disaster.
"Falling didn't even go through my mind," McCarron said. "I kept thinking there's only one horse left in front of us that was going to prevent us from getting the roses. He just did an incredible job of righting himself. I was focused on keeping my balance and trying to stay on his back."
Van Berg wasn't surprised. Alysheba had a sense of balance and athleticism rarely found on the track.
"He just had unbelievable ability," Van Berg said. "He got a little gust of wind or whatever and got knocked down and he stepped up before Chris knew what hit him. He was remarkable."
Alysheba backed up the Derby win by taking the Preakness. His bid for a Triple Crown ended with a disappointing fourth-place finish in the Belmont, a rare dull performance from a horse who won fans over with his consistency and durability.
Being a bit of a showoff helped. Van Berg said he would get a kick out of seeing Alysheba hop around the paddock before races, preening for the audience.
"He was hard to handle sometimes, but the adrenaline would get flowing and he knew it was time to go," Van Berg said. "He could do things you wouldn't believe."
Namely, bring it every time.
"He always ran his race," McCarron said. "You could count on him giving his best effort, even if he got in trouble or the track condition wasn't to his liking."
One of his greatest performances may have come in defeat. Alysheba lost to 1986 Derby winner Ferdinand in a photo finish at the 1987 Breeders' Cup Classic, a setback that likely cost him Horse of the Year honors.
McCarron said the loss may have been a blessing. Rather than retire to the breeding shed, Alysheba returned to the track as a 4-year-old in 1988, winning six stakes races and getting a measure of revenge in the '88 Classic, beating Seeking the Gold in the early evening gloaming at Churchill Downs.
McCarron remembers seeing signs in the winner's circle proclaiming: "Alysheba for President." The horse certainly seemed to feel like one, carrying himself with the pride of a winner.
"He looked majestic on the track," McCarron said. "He'd stop and let people take photographs. I believe he loved it."
Alysheba retired to stud in Kentucky in 1989 before being sold and sent to Saudi Arabia. He arrived at the Horse Park last fall, joining Cigar -- who broke Alysheba's career earnings record -- in the Hall of Champions.
"He had an aura about him," park spokeswoman Lisa Jackson said.
McCarron said he saw Alysheba two weeks ago and offered his old friend mints while standing out in his paddock.
"He looked fantastic," McCarron said.
The stallion fell in his stall, injuring his right hind femur, and was euthanized Friday night at a medical center in Lexington.
Kathy Hopkins, director of equine operations at the horse park, said Alysheba fell due to a chronic degenerative spinal condition.
"Complicated by his advanced age, this trauma resulted in severe pain," Hopkins said. "The resulting pain and suffering, and the inability to stand unaided, led to a joint decision for euthanasia."
Alysheba is the second champion horse to be euthanized in the past two weeks. Lil E. Tee, who upset heavily favored Arazi to win the 1992 Kentucky Derby, was put down at Old Frankfort Stud in Lexington on March 18 at age 20.

THURSDAY, Jan. 19, 2012 (HealthDay News) — Amid hints that statins — cholesterol-lowering drugs — might also play a role in preventing or treating certain types of cancer, new research sheds some light on how these drugs may help stop breast cancer in its tracks among certain women.
The p53 tumor suppressor gene stops the uncontrolled growth of cancer cells, but some women with breast cancer have mutant forms of this gene. In the new study, when the mutant p53 cells were treated in the laboratory with statins, the cells stopped their erratic growth, and even died in some cases.
It seems that the mutated p53 genes may activate the same pathway that the statins inhibit — the mevalonate pathway, the study suggests. The mevalonate pathway is important in the body's production of cholesterol.
In the study, the effects of the statin drugs were erased when the mevalonate pathway was reactivated, supporting the potential mechanism. The new research is published in the Jan. 20 issue of the journal Cell.
Study author Dr. Carol Prives, chair of the department of biological sciences at Columbia University in New York City, is cautious in her enthusiasm about the results and their implications.
"The study is adding the possibility that there may be classes of breast cancer patients who will respond better to statins than others," she said, but noted that this research is far away from the bedside.
"By understanding better what sort of cells would respond to statins, one might have a better idea of whether or not to consider using them," she added. "The next step could be a trial of statins in women with breast cancer who have a mutated copy of the p53 gene."
Commenting on the study, cancer expert Marc Symons said, "This paper unravels a mechanism whereby p53, a frequently mutated cancer gene, promotes the aberrant behavior of cancer cells."
The mutated protein stimulates the mevalonate pathway, explained Symons, an investigator at the Center for Oncology and Cell Biology at the Feinstein Institute for Medical Research in Manhasset, N.Y.
"Statins, drugs that are widely used to lower cholesterol levels, block a key step in the mevalonate pathway," Symons said. "The new results may well give new momentum to the use of statins as anti-cancer agents."
Dr. Stephanie Bernik, chief of surgical oncology at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City, is also intrigued by the potential of the new findings.
"This paper addresses a possible new target for therapeutic agents based on a well-known tumor suppressor gene that is common in many cancers," Bernik said. "Identifying novel pathways that lead to tumor formation is the first step to developing new drugs that can specifically target some of the complex mechanisms that contribute to the development of cancer," she pointed out.
"This work and other projects like this raise the hope that we will one day be able to cure cancers on a molecular level," Bernik said.

Top Cars
Today's Best Coupes: A List of Our Favorites
If you're interested in a sporty driving experience and a sleek new car, you're probably thinking about ditching the traditional sedan or SUV in favor of a coupe. If that sounds like you, then you've come to the right place; we've listed several of today's best coupes, and we've made sure to include models for all price ranges.
BMW 2 Series
The BMW 2 Series is an all-new coupe that replaced the brand's popular 1 Series for the 2014 model year. Featuring rear-wheel drive and four seats, the 2 Series offers everything that you'd expect from a BMW coupe, including potent engines, an excellent interior and razor-sharp handling. Of course, we especially like the M235i (base price of $44,000 with shipping), which features a 320-hp turbocharged engine. Even the 228i (base price of $33,000 with shipping) offers surprisingly quick acceleration, thanks to 240 horsepower and available 8-speed automatic or 6-speed manual transmissions. As a bonus, the 2 Series even offers available all-wheel drive, which is perfect for shoppers in cold-weather climates who don't want the fun to stop, even when it snows.
Chevrolet Camaro
The sporty Chevrolet Camaro offers rear-wheel drive, four seats, and retro styling that still manages to turn heads nearly 5 years after the redesigned coupe initially hit the market. Part of the reason why we like the Camaro so much is its price: For just $24,500 with shipping, the coupe boasts a 323-hp V6 and a surprisingly long list of standard equipment that includes 18-inch alloy wheels, automatic headlights, cruise control, Bluetooth and GM's OnStar system. Shoppers interested in more power can upgrade to the brawny, V8-powered Camaro SS with its 426 horses and a $34,500 starting price. For those who want serious performance, there's the even-faster Camaro ZL1, which touts a 580-hp V8 and a long list of sporty enhancements to go along with its $54,500 base price.
Dodge Challenger
Dodge's retro-styled Challenger may not lead the pack in driving dynamics, but the coupe's head-turning styling, reasonable pricing and bulky engines keep it near the top of our list of enjoyable coupes. Starting from $27,500 with shipping, base-level Challenger models offer a 305-hp V6, which is enough to make the large coupe feel surprisingly spry. From there, drivers can upgrade to a 375-hp HEMI V8 version or an even-more-exciting 470-hp SRT8 model, which reaches 60 miles per hour in around 4 seconds. Our only gripes with the Challenger relate to visibility and rear-seat room. Both are sacrifices you'll just have to make for the coupe you've always wanted.

Ford Mustang
Few cars offer the amazing value you can get with a Ford Mustang. Starting at just $23,500 with shipping, the Mustang is a rear-wheel-drive 4-seat sports car with a fun personality and a potent 305-hp V6 under the hood. If that's not enough power, you can always upgrade to a muscular 420-hp V8-powered Mustang GT for just $32,000 with shipping. Best of all is that, with a new model on the way, the Mustang's value proposition become even more enticing as dealers lower prices on today's version to help clear out inventories.
Hyundai Genesis Coupe
The Hyundai Genesis Coupe is a sporty rear-drive 4-seater with lots to offer if you're interested in driving pleasure. Part of the reason is the coupe's two potent engines, which boast either 274 hp (for the base-level 2.0T model) or 348 hp if you choose a V6. The Genesis Coupe also offers a long list of standard equipment in its $27,500 base price, including automatic headlights, keyless entry with a push-button ignition, automatic climate control, Bluetooth and an iPod hookup. In essence, we really like the Genesis Coupe, and manual-transmission lovers will be happy to know that it's still available with a stick shift.

Porsche Cayman
No, it's not the famous 911, but in many ways, Porsche's smaller Cayman is even better. Featuring a mid-engine drivetrain, the Cayman offers better weight balance than the 911, and its power is a little more manageable thanks to a choice of two engines that offer either 275 horses (in the base-level Cayman) or 325 hp (in the Cayman S). The Cayman is also much more affordable, with a base model starting out at around $53,500. Essentially, there's little doubt that the Cayman is one of the best coupes on the market -- something you'll discover the second you go through your first curve behind the wheel.

Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ
The Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ twins aren't the most luxurious of new cars, and they won't necessarily turn heads on the street. But if an excellent driving experience is high on your list of must-haves for your next car, you won't want to look any further, especially considering the cars' reasonable base prices, which start around $25,500 for the FR-S or $26,500 for the BRZ. Both the FR-S and BRZ offer rear-wheel drive, excellent handling and a fairly potent 200-hp 4-cylinder engine. We strongly recommend the spry manual transmission, though even automatic models are fun to drive. The only problem: Don't expect to get anyone in the tight back seat.

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. - Junior Chris Peterson was unable to qualify for the 50 freestyle finals at the 2011 NCAA Division I Men's Swimming and Diving Championships on Thursday. Peterson, who was seeded eighth, tied for 21st in the event's preliminaries with Duke's Nick Garvy in a time of 19.67 seconds.
Peterson's time on Thursday morning was .18 seconds off of his mark at the Pac-10 Championships earlier this month - which set a new UCSB record - was .05 seconds slower than the last swimmer to qualify for Thursday night's consolation finals and .31 seconds slower than the swimmer seeded eighth into the event's finals.
"He just got out too slow," said head coach Gregg Wilson. "His first lap was a lot slower than it needed to be and his second lap was fine, but you have to be on your game here. It was just a tough swim for him. Now we've got to get him ready for the 100 freestyle on Saturday."
Peterson is seeded 25th in the 100 freestyle on Saturday with a time of 43.35.

BOSTON, Mass.—Rob Florentino (West Roxbury, Mass.) and Peter MacIntyre (Norfolk, Mass.) wrapped up an extremely successful winter with two more awards Friday, as the pair of Beacons stars were named to the USCHO.Com All-American Teams.
Florentino picked up his second Third-Team All-American honor and became the first UMB player to be named a USCHO.Com All-American in the decade-long existence of the website. MacIntyre was recognized twice by USCHO.com, earning a spot on the national All-Rookie Team and finishing as one of two runner-ups, to national Rookie of the Year Shaquille Merasty of Adrian College .
UMass Boston was one of just five schools to have multiple players honored and the only school in the 10-team ECAC East to have a player recognized.
Earlier this month Florentino was named a Third Team American Hockey Coaches Association All-American, joining Bill Innocent ('92) as the only UMass Boston players to be named All-Americans in program history.
The senior defenseman earned First Team ECAC East honors after setting new career highs across the board, with seven goals, 21 assists and 28 total points. Florentino finished the season third amongst Division III blue-liners with 1.04 points per game and played a pivotal role running the Beacons power-play.
MacIntyre is no stranger to major awards either, after becoming the first player in program history to be named ECAC East Rookie of the year.
The freshman left-winger paced the Beacons with 19 goals and finished second on the team with 32 points. He tallied three game-winning goals, a pair of power-play goals and one of two hat tricks for UMB this season.

(CNN) -- The last time Arsenal led the English Premier League by as much as five points, it was February 2008.
So it's no surprise that Arsene Wenger, whose last silverware came three years before that, is not getting carried away.
The veteran manager knows, after all, that a few days is a long time in football.
On Tuesday his team lost 2-0 to Chelsea in the League Cup, which many trumpeted as a sign that Jose Mourinho's side had taken the ascendancy and would be the dominant force this season.
But on Saturday Mourinho's men crashed 2-0 to Newcastle, which had lost to the EPL's bottom side Sunderland the previous weekend, and Arsenal earned a five-point lead at the top with a comprehensive win by the same score against another title hopeful, Liverpool.
Arsenal's pre-season target Luis Suarez and fellow in-form striker Daniel Sturridge barely had a look-in for Liverpool, which had scored 12 goals in the past four games.
Santi Cazorla volleyed a 19th-minute opener after his header hit the post, and Aaron Ramsey joined Sturridge on 10 goals in all competitions just before the hour mark when the Wales midfielder was given time to shoot from outside the penalty area.
"I am always confident, but of course there is a long way to go," Wenger said. "Today was an important win for the team.
"It was vital to win, I said that before the game and I don't change my mind, because had we not won people would say 'Yes, Arsenal at home they cannot win the big games.'
"The Chelsea game was an important game but not of the importance of today's game. But still, it was a disappointment and it was important to respond today, to convince people that we can win these big games.
"We had a good solidarity, a good focus, and I believe we have plenty of other big games coming up and this will help us deal well with them."
On Wednesday, the Gunners will travel to Germany to face Borussia Dortmund in a match which will have a big bearing on the London club's hopes of progressing to the knockout stage of the Champions League.
"Who would have said that Chelsea would lose today at Newcastle after Tuesday night? But that's the Premier League and it's down to consistency," Wenger said.
"We are consistent since the first of January 2013, with the same group (of players). We have shown since our massive blip against Aston Villa (at the start of this season) that we have been very consistent. We have 10 games, 25 points."
While Wenger appears calm, Mourinho admitted to being worried after the Newcastle defeat left his Chelsea side in second place, above Liverpool on goal difference.
"I'm angry because I don't understand it," said the former Real Madrid manager, who won two EPL titles in his first season at the London club. "Of course I am worried, and I read in previous years it happened the same.
"Chelsea were successful in cup competitions but not successful in the Premier League. Last year in December, they were not in the race for the title because they were already 20 points behind."
Mourinho made nine changes to his team, and complained: "I made 11 mistakes. I should have picked another 11 and not this one."
While the Portuguese coach's fortunes may have momentarily dipped, those of the Manchester clubs soared this weekend.
Defending champion Manchester United won 3-1 at Fulham, the fourth victory in a row in all competitions for under-pressure manager David Moyes -- who saw Antonio Valencia, Robin van Persie and Wayne Rooney score in the first half as his side stayed eighth.
Manchester City moved up to fourth -- six points behind Arsenal -- with a 7-0 thrashing of third-bottom Norwich, having lost at Chelsea last Sunday.
England goalkeeper Joe Hart was dropped following his costly blunder at the end of that match, and his Romanian replacement Costel Pantilimon has now kept two clean sheets following the midweek League Cup win at Newcastle.
Sergio Aguero's eighth league goal this season moved the Argentina striker to the top of the scoring charts alongside Sturridge, while Yaya Toure hit his fifth, Alvaro Negredo his fourth and Edin Dzeko his third among seven individual scorers.
Stoke goalkeeper Asmir Begovic was also a notable name on the scoresheets after his wind-assisted effort deceived Southampton counterpart Artur Boruc after just 13 seconds.
The Bosnia international became the fifth keeper to hit the target since the EPL began in 1992, while Jay Rodriguez's equalizer left Saints in fifth place, behind City on goal difference.
"As a manager that is the first time I've had to experience a moment as unlucky as that," said Southampton's Mauricio Pochettino.
"I don't blame him at all. I think it had more to do with the weather conditions.
"He didn't apologize for anything because he didn't have to. The wind was changing gusts completely all the time and it is a ground which is open on three sides, which makes it even more windy."
West Brom moved up to 11th with a 2-0 win that dropped Crystal Palace to the bottom of the table, despite nine-man Sunderland losing 1-0 at 10th-placed Hull.
West Ham drew 0-0 with Aston Villa in Saturday's other match.

David Perry, the president of Shiny Entertainment, learned an important lesson after making the first game based on the popular Matrix movies, Enter the Matrix. "When you play a Batman game, you want to play as Batman. When you play a Matrix game, you want to play as Neo." He's referring, of course, to the fact that you could only play as Niobe, a relatively minor character in the first game, instead of Neo, the movie's lead. Read More »

RED HOOK — Lights flickered on and contractors prepared to restore heat and hot water to parts of Brooklyn's largest public housing complex Monday morning, but thousands still remained without power since Hurricane Sandy flooded much of Red Hook two weeks ago.
"What a relief it is," said Brandy Cabrera, 29, who works for the Department of Education and lives in Red Hook Houses at 472 Columbia St. "My cousin called me and told me the power's on. I just came out here today."
As of Monday afternoon, the New York City Housing Authority had restored power to 21 of Red Hook Houses' 32 buildings, but more than 2,000 of the complex's residents still had no electricity.
Thousands more still didn't have heat and hot water by Monday evening, including all of the 14 buildings of Red Hook West, and eight of the 18 buildings comprising Red Hook East.
Those who got their power back over the past few days were celebrating.
"I can finally watch TV, that's the main part," said Kevin Alex, 46, who lives at 472 Columbia St. "Watch my TVs, my DVDs."
Dozens of contractors were working Monday to hook enormous, trailer-mounted generators and boilers to the Red Hook Houses' network of pipes and cables. Once connected, they will supply heat and hot water while NYCHA replaces the boilers and electrical networks that were destroyed by seawater that filled the basements of the Red Hook Houses.
"The boilers just exploded," said one contractor, who asked not to be identified because he was not authorized to speak to the press. "Cables burned and welded to pipes from the floodwater."
Residents who were still without power, heat or hot water said they're fed up with what they say is a lack of communication from NYCHA.
"I hear Thanksgiving, I hear today, I hear this week," said Makeba Griem, 40, a medical assistant who lives at 817 Hicks St., as she picked up free water from a Red Cross van. "I'm hearing so many stories, I just don't know anymore."
Anthony Watson, 63, a Vietnam veteran and vice president of the Red Hook Houses West Tenants' Association, also voiced frustration.
"Rumors, rumors, and more rumors — it's been two weeks," he said. "I'm a senior and a veteran. I have to walk five stories to get to my apartment."

Phillip Phillips Overcomes Kidney Stones to Bring 'Hard to Handle' to 'Idol' Stage
Audience favorite Phillip Phillips had a rough week to say the least. The young guitarist with the endearing voice was rushed to the hospital late last week for kidney stones. But, don't worry America, that didn't stop him from making it to his rehearsal to work with guest judges will.i.am and record label executive Jimmy Iovine and blow them both away.
After hearing Phillips sing (and realizing that he was going into surgery that night for kidney stones) the Black Eyed Peas celeb said, "I know people that would have cancelled … I wouldn't have cancelled, but I wouldn't have sung it that good."
Taking the stage to sing a song from his birth year in keeping with tonight's 'Idol' theme, Phillips stepped out from behind the comfort of his acoustic guitar and left the strumming to his regular wingmen. This time he was also joined by a full brass section for the Black Crowes' 1990 Otis Redding cover 'Hard to Handle.' Bringing the energy (and the signature smile and baby blues), Phillips seemed remarkably comfortable in the spotlight.
"Phillip Phillips, yo yo," Randy Jackson started, though the audience didn't let him speak for a bit longer. "Dude, you know by now you've been doing this show for a minute. You're like a fish out of water doing this because you're kind of unique." Then Jackson praised the young performer on his style and encouraged him to do a cover of 'Hard to Handle' as an artist after the competition.
Joining Jackson in his excited praise, Jennifer Lopez gushed, "It just goes to prove that this is just so natural for you. It's in every cell of your body," but then she remembered she was talking to a kid less than a week out of surgery and added, "not to get too medical. It's all over you. I loved it. I can't believe it."
"I'm really glad that you pick songs that match your voice and character," Steven Tyler offered at the end. "Watch your melody, but keep it up man." And hey, if Phillips just overcame kidney stones and a hospital visit to make it to that stage without so much as a complaint, we're pretty sure he's going to keep it up.

At the end of this month, Virgina trap rap supremo Pusha T will head off with Kanye West to the City of Light in an effort to create what the MC calls something "super, super dark."
Pusha's well-received mixtape "Wrath of Caine" hit the interwebs last month and has been generating buzz among connoisseurs of straight-ahead street-hop with guest verses from rap heavyweights including French Montana, Wale and Rick Ross.
Drafting off that much blogged-about effort, Pusha will meet up with the Louis Vuitton Don in Paris in late February to lay down at least six tracks for his debut solo album (on West's G.O.O.D. Music imprint), "My Name Is My Name," due out later this year.
"Me and 'Ye are going to lock in for nine days to create the heavy reality dark-side to my album," said Pusha, speaking from Washington, D.C., where he was promoting his mixtape. "We're gonna get to the heavy truth. The super, super dark portion is what I'm about to create."
Paris has served as creative muse to West before, being the mythic locale of the breakout song off his "Watch the Throne" collabo with Jay-Z. And the City of Light is as likely a place as any for the reinvention of Pusha (government name: Terrence Thornton), best known until now as one-half of the sibling coke-rapping Virginia duo Clipse with brother Gene "No Malice" Thornton. For more than a decade, the two have been recipient to many of the most trailblazing beats produced by the boundary-pushing, platinum-plus production team the Neptunes.
But Pusha's decidedly turbulent worldview these days can be traced directly to the creative fracture with No Malice caused, in large part, by his brother's turn away from Clipse's signature glorification of crack-dealing and toward organized religion.
Until the Thornton brothers hit the mainstream with their major label album debut, "Lord Willin'," in 2002, hustling cocaine covered their overhead (with Gene hailing by the MC name "Malice" in those days). "We didn't do it 'cause we had to -- we come from a good home," Malice told the Guardian UK in 2007. "We did it 'cause we wanted to be the flyest and freshest and, you know, the sharpest."
But in 2011, after a bout of severe depression, creeping paranoia about contracting AIDS and with the release of his memoir "Wretched, Pitiful, Poor Blind & Naked," Gene Thornton repudiated the trife life to devote himself full time to Christianity.
Going the solo route has forced Pusha to branch out lyrically to deliver the self-reflective storytelling that Malice historically brought to their group efforts.
"In writing this album, I think I might be rebelling because I don't have my brother here," Pusha said. "He's been the more 'conscious' member of the group and spoke more from a voice of reason to give you a reasonable understanding of why the things we present are as they are. He was so much better at that than me. But with him not being part of my solo project, I had to take that on.
"I'm trying to show people I have a point of view that's not always so brash. I'm speaking introspectively about street life or family relationships -- even him and his take on spirituality."
And even with "My Name Is My Name" being one of the year's most hotly anticipated hip-hop releases, Pusha and No Malice are already making plans to regroup as Clipse, and the two have begun discussions with chief Neptunes songsmith Pharrell Williams about that project.
"Me and him talked to Pharrell about a new Clipse album. The title is tentatively going to be 'With God as My Witness'," said Pusha. "People look at Clipse and [No Malice's] spiritual outlook and think it's incompatible with what we're doing as a group. But to me, this isn't that different to me. Look at 'Lord Willin' " -- we put Jesus riding in the back seat on our album cover!"

Ms Wasson isn't your average all-American gal. A keen surfer and an art collector, she's better known for her work as a high-rolling cover girl, regularly gracing the pages of the magazines that count. Based in California, her latest venture sees her posing alongside Dutch supermodel Lara Stone and actress Julianne Moore in Karl Lagerfeld's 2011 Pirelli calendar. Here she gives us a few handy hints.
Having a drink at his favourite bar; a place where he feels comfortable. If it goes well, then that can lead to an impromptu dinner. A live music show is a great option too - you can enjoy the music and there isn't a whole lot of pressure on talking. Ideally, he should wear black jeans and a black T-shirt - something really nondescript and certainly nothing too hip or too cool.
I love things that show that a guy really knows me, maybe a piece of antique jewellery, a weekend trip to an amazing hotel, a rare record that he knows I have been looking for, or a piece of artwork by Wes Lang. For someone else, I would naturally suggest you buy her a piece from my jewellery line,

Every guy should have a leather jacket (not a trendy one; just something he has had forever), black jeans, a black T-shirt, a white button-down shirt, a black cashmere sweater and a hoodie.

The state Legislature's members are scheduled to be sworn in on Monday but some Inland Valley voters can expect to see a new round of electioneering in the near future.
State Sen. Gloria Negrete-McLeod, D-Chino, is scheduled to trade her office in Sacramento for one in Washington, D.C. following her election Nov. 6 to the House of Representatives.
McLeod would have had two years remaining for her state Senate term. Her newly-drawn 20th Senate District is heavily Democratic and includes communities in Pomona, Chino Valley, Ontario, Fontana, Rialto, Colton and Grand Terrace.
At least three candidates have declared their intentions to run: Democrats Norma Torres and Larry Walker and Republican Kenny Coble.
Gov. Jerry Brown has yet to declare a special election pending McLeod's official resignation.
The timeline set by state law could provide for a special primary in late April or early May.
If no candidate wins a majority then, a general election would take place involving the primary's top two candidates.
Torres, D-Pomona, is a member of the Assembly and was recently elected to a third term in that house. Torres said earlier this month that she was excited by the prospect of representing a larger district.
Walker serves as San Bernardino County treasurer/tax collector and is a former county supervisor. He said he will campaign as a voice for fiscal conservatism within the Democratic Party.
"It's a district that's going to demand fiscal conservatism and financial accountability," Walker said.
Coble chairs the Pomona planning commission and owns a construction company.
If elected, Coble said his priorities would be education and restoring redevelopment funding for cities.
"The ultimate goal is to those funds back to the city," he said.
Torres defeated Coble in the race for the 52nd Assembly District. He has said, however, that he is confident that his prior run gives him sufficient preparation for a new round of campaigning.
The field of candidates may yet expand. For example, Assemblywoman Wilmer Amina Carter, D-Rialto, is considering a run but has yet to make her decision.
That's the word from Carter's husband, Ratibu Jacocks. He said she will wait to comment on her decision until one is final.
McLeod and other new members of Congress are set be sworn in on Jan. 3.

Captain Matt Richards heads a quintet of out-of-contract players released by Shrewsbury.
Midfielder Richards surprisingly finds himself heading out of the exit door at the Greenhous Meadow having made 43 appearances this season, scoring seven goals in the process.
He tops the club's scoring chart this term alongside striker Marvin Morgan, who has also been released by boss Graham Turner as he wastes little time shaping his squad for next season after Town avoided relegation from League One.
The pair depart along with midfielders Mark Wright and Rob Purdie as well as striker Ryan Doble.
Meanwhile, Turner has offered contracts to six players also out of contract at the the Shropshire club.
It is hoped Jon Taylor, Aaron Wildig, Connor Goldson, Jermaine Grandison, Tom Bradshaw and Ryan Woods will each accept the terms on the table.
