2013 Chevrolet Corvette: New Car Review
Pros: Superb off-the-line acceleration; blurring top speed; racing-caliber handling; potent stopping power; iconic status.
Cons: Unrefined interior relative to its competitors.
What's New: 427 Convertible Collector Edition; 60th Anniversary Design Package; available black-painted wheels and ZR1-style spoiler.
The 2013 Chevrolet Corvette remains at the pinnacle of American high-performance driving. This legendary muscle machine is perhaps the only homegrown offering to compete with Europe's finest sports cars and exotics at a fraction of the price. To mention the Corvette in the same breath as a Porsche, Ferrari or Jaguar is completely justified.
In its last model year before a complete redesign, the 2013 Corvette is unmistakable to the eye and the ear. Its famous profile and inspiring exhaust note are the stuff automotive dreams are made of. That's why Corvette has one of the largest enthusiast followings in the United States.
Available in coupe and convertible body styles, the Corvette range is composed of five models. Returning for 2013 are the base, Grand Sport, Z06 and the venerable ZR1 versions. New for the latest model year is the 427 Convertible Collector Edition, which boasts a 7.0-liter Z06-based LS7 engine and shares suspension components with the ZR1 and Z06.
Celebrating 60 years of Corvette, all 2013 models include 60th Anniversary exterior badges and similar logos on the gauge cluster and sill plates. The special 60th Anniversary Design Package, available on all 2013 models, takes it a step further. It includes Arctic White paint; Blue Diamond leather interior with suede accents; a blue top for convertible models; a ZR1-style spoiler; gray-painted brake calipers; and 60th Anniversary logos on the wheel centers, steering wheel, and head restraints.
Although the Corvette's primary intention is to conquer the open highway, it's also built to handle spirited drives on twisting mountain roads. In the case of the Z06 and ZR1, in particular, the Corvette is a commendable track-day performer.
Comfort & Utility
Relative to its exterior appearance and performance credentials, the Corvette's cabin is unrefined, even pedestrian. And that's the case even more when you compare it to the interiors of other world-class, high-performance machines.
That said, the 2-seat cockpit does have its virtues. The large-gauge instrument panel exudes plenty of sporting character, and controls are both functional and ergonomic. The Vette's sport seats are more bolstered than before, keeping occupants in place during speedy maneuvers. These seats are also amply comfortable for longer-distance highway cruising.
Some options, like the Leather-Wrapped Interior Package, elevate the Corvette's interior ambience with hint of upscale appeal. The 60th Anniversary Design Package has a similar effect but is available only with the white-over-blue exterior/interior color combination. Another plus is the Corvette's surprisingly expansive cargo space. With 22 cu-ft for the coupe and half that for the convertible, this is one of the few cars in its segment that can accommodate a couple of overnight bags with room to spare.
In terms of key standard convenience features, the Corvette offers dual-zone climate control, keyless push-button ignition, leather upholstery, a six-way power-adjustable driver's seat and, for the coupe, a removable roof panel. The convertible gets a fully automatic retractable soft top. Options include a power tilt-telescoping steering wheel and a head-up display to help the driver keep his or her eyes on the road--especially useful when driving fast.
The Corvette's tech offerings are limited but include Bluetooth, a premium stereo system with USB connectivity and DVD-based navigation.
Performance & Fuel Economy
With five models to choose from, engine and performance hardware vary from one to the next. All Corvettes are rear-wheel drive.
The base Corvette and Grand Sport models are powered by a 6.2-liter V8 producing 430 horsepower and 424 lb-ft of torque. An optional dual exhaust system takes output to 436 and 428, respectively. Energy is managed by either a standard 6-speed manual gearbox or an optional 6-speed automatic with paddle shifters. The EPA-estimated fuel economy is 16 mpg city/26 mpg highway with the manual and 15/25 mpg with the automatic.
The Corvette Z06 and 427 Convertible Collector Edition are armed with a massive 7.0-liter V8, making a copious 505 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque. In both models this engine is mated exclusively to a 6-speed manual and yields fuel economy rated at 15/24 mpg.
The heart of the ultra-high-performance ZR1 is a 6.2-liter supercharged V8, also offered solely with a 6-speed manual gearbox. This combination yields 638 hp and an obscene 604 lb-ft of torque. That's enough to melt down any set of tires in a single acceleration event, and to achieve a world-class top speed of 205 mph. A showy see-through panel in the hood allows gawkers to peek down at the supercharger. The ZR1's fuel economy is unlikely to be a concern for potential buyers, but, for the record, it's rated at 14 mpg city/21 mpg highway.
To clamp down on momentum, the Z06 uses large, cross-drilled brakes at all four corners. The ZR1 has high-performance ceramic discs.
Occupant protection comes from four airbags, front and side. Head curtain airbags are not offered.
To maintain surefootedness, the Corvette is equipped with ABS, traction control and stability control. The Z06 and ZR1 enhance their road grip even further with the Performance Traction Management system.
Driving Impressions
The Corvette's straight-line performance is its single greatest attribute. Combining tremendous throttle response, top-end power, a short-throw shifter and an aerodynamic shape, this car was built to reach blurring speeds quickly and gobble up long stretches of road.
Factoring in its ability to take corners with incredible precision and grip, the Vette proves to be a genuine American track star that can run on a raceway alongside the most revered Italian and German performance cars. Responsive, on-center steering also adds to the Corvette's athleticism, whether on a track or on a series of tight canyon switchbacks.
Other higher-end performance and aero upgrades include staggered tire sizes (both diameter and width vary front to rear), a front splitter and a rear spoiler. A ZR1-style rear spoiler is now available on the base Corvette and the Grand Sport.
In terms of ride, the Corvette benefits from three compliant suspension packages, including Magnetic Ride Control. Despite its hard-core track acumen, all Corvette models, including the ZR1, are surprisingly comfortable in everyday driving. Selectable modes for Sport and Touring allow the driver to switch modes based on the venue.
The convertible Vette is just as capable as its coupe counterpart. The major difference, aside from its wind-in-your-hair capability, is that it lets in more road noise with the top up.
Other Cars to Consider
Porsche 911 Carrera - It doesn't have the same sledgehammer-like acceleration as the Corvette, but it's more nimble in corners and offers available all-wheel drive. The all-new Porsche's interior is much more refined. But the Carrera's price is considerably higher than either the base Corvette or the Grand Sport.
Nissan GT-R - Many consider the GT-R a better performance value than the Z06 and ZR1. Also, the GT-R's interior is more sophisticated.
BMW M3 - The Corvette beats the M3 in most performance exercises, except for handling. Like the Porsche and the Nissan, the M3's interior beats the Vette's.
Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 - The Mustang is powerful and gratifying, but not in the way the Corvette is. And the Corvette is a far better-handling machine. Price-wise, the GT500 and the Corvette are similar.
AutoTrader Recommends
Of the five 2013 Chevrolet Corvette models, the Grand Sport makes the most sense to us. It offers significant performance upgrades over the base model, including a stiffer suspension, specially tuned dampers and more powerful brakes, making it a truly track-capable car. At the same time, it's a serious performance value, far less expensive than the Z06 or the ZR1. In addition, the Grand Sport touts a unique sporting character with distinctive exterior styling cues. We recommend adding the 60th Anniversary Design Package for a more distinctive look.

A new king of the block
Spam, spam, spam. As the old Monty Python song goes, so goes the modern world.
The first spam message was sent by now-defunct computer company Digital in 1978, announcing the demonstration of a new computer system.
Unsolicited emails of various types became common over the next 15 years, but it was only with the widespread use of the web for commercial purposes in the 1990s, and the explosion in the use of email, that spam became widespread.
Spam now comprises more than half of all emails. Internet pioneer Brad Templeton has written an interesting little history of the origins of the term, and the first spam messages.
Spam is such a problem that some people have forecast the death of email. It is not just its sheer volume, or its often objectionable content, but the fact that it is often used to carry viruses and other nasties. And it is expensive - email security firm MessageLabs estimates the annual cost to Australian corporations or government departments to be more than $1000 a user.
Add downtime and productivity losses from spam-borne viruses and the figures become very large. British consultancy mi2g puts the worldwide damage from spam in the first half of 2004 alone at nearly $2 billion, from more than a trillion spam messages.
Many countries, including Australia and the US, have introduced anti-spam laws prohibiting certain kinds of unsolicited emails. These measures have been largely ineffectual because spam is an international problem.
Most experts on the subject believe the legislative approach will work only in conjunction with effective technical approaches. Such strategies can be divided into two main types: filtering and blocking.
Filtering software picks up on certain word patterns or other characteristics of email to identify it as spam. We have all received spam with words such as "Viagra" spelt in strange ways, examples of attempts to get round spam filters. Filters can work at the client level or at the server level.
I have been trialling a blocking system, from a small Australian company called TotalBlock for more than a month now, and it's been very effective.
The approach is completely different to filtering. All my email goes to the TotalBlock server, which allows only mail from senders I have previously authorised. This is my entire Outlook address book, and anyone I send emails to is added automatically.
Any other mail is blocked, and a sender is challenged with a simple question. If they answer it, the mail is delivered; if not, I never see it. Send me an email (my address is at the bottom of this column) and you'll see how it works.
I can at any time go to the server and see what emails have been blocked. I would routinely get more than 100 spam messages a day, and I kind of missed them at first. Now it's out of my life.
There are some problems with the blocking/authorisation approach. If you are sent an automatically generated email - such as a password when you subscribe to a newsletter or buy some software - it will be blocked and you have to go to the server to unblock it.
I probably miss a few messages, but no spam! It's changed my life.

By: Cresta
This is probably a little unorthodox, but I'm going to write about it anyway. It DOES have something to do with beer at least.
It may seem crazy to combine heart-pumping physical activity with beer drinking – although I know some people that would consider beer drinking a sport. Even the organizers call this event "a ridiculous running race." I've always thought an ice cold beer tastes great after a good run, so I'm in.
Tap 'N' Run is a 4K (or 2.5 mile) running race that includes four beer chug stations along the race course – plus a full beer at the finish line, along with crazy costumes, contests and awards, and an after-party with live music on the barge at Hooters and Beer Seller down along the river.
The race is professionally timed and all participants will receive a medal – that doubles as a bottle opener of course, the equivalent of more than two beers and a Tap 'N' Run t-shirt. They also will offer non-alcoholic beverages and even a taxi partner to help get everyone home safely.
They will be checking IDs, so you must be 21 years of age on race day to participate and you MUST present a valid ID at check-in.
I am joining a few friends to create a team. I've never participated in this but it sounds like a blast. Cost is $38 per person if you register before Saturday, April 28. The price goes up from there. Visit http://www.tapnrun.com for more info and to register. Hope to see you there!

text: Hello! I remember some posts here which asked for username based website access like supported by e.g. cPanel (~username). Basically, I read that this should be possible with mod_userdir and also tried a bit with Aliases in vhosts. My questions is now, if this feature would be appreciated and how it should logically be done. My idea is, that ISPConfig could support it like: http://serverurl/ip.tld/~webxx (e.g. web10). I guess this wouldn't be a great problem to create. Or am I wrong? If there are no concerns about this, I'd try working on this. Regards, Michel

The Best Christmas Present Ever
So imagine my surprise when he put the last present under the tree this year and I had no idea what it was.
He even warned me this was coming. Last December, he told me that there was something he wanted to give me but that he wouldn't be able to give it to me that year because it was going to take some time. I thought that sounded interesting, then promptly forgot about it. But Honey Bear didn't forget. In fact, he started working on this gift on January first.
Fast-forward to this Christmas morning. As soon as I picked up the mystery present, a small, book-like package, I knew exactly what it was. I'd seen him writing in it pretty much every day for the last couple of months. (He'd kept it hidden from me before that.) I'd assumed it was a journal, and it was. I just hadn't realized it was all about me.
This journal has an entry for almost every day, and in every entry, Honey Bear expresses his love and appreciation for something specific I did that day. On one day, he wrote about how much he enjoyed seeing a movie with me in the theater. On another, he told me thank you for taking care of the kids all day while he did homework and went to school. And on another, he expressed how beautiful I'd looked that day.
It is, without a doubt, the best, most thoughtful present I've ever received. The small journal itself--and the acid-free pen he bought to write in it--aren't worth more than a few dollars, but this will be a gift I treasure for the rest of my life.

Wow. Thank you so much for your comments. You know, neither Honey Bear nor I are perfect, in life or in our marriage, but we are trying to be the best people - and the best spouses - that we can be. In the long run, I think that's what counts. It's nice to walk hand in hand with him along this road called life. We bring out the best in one another.

Gotta say, he's setting the bar pretty high for the rest of us. :) But I agree that the best gifts are always the ones that have real meaning to them, not just expensive or flashy. Reminds me of stuff I've done for my wife before.
But I like this idea. I may have to look into something like it myself. Sounds like it would be fun.

I'll let him know, Amy:) (I think all these blog comments have been just as fun for him to read.)

Last-Minute Goal Ends Wabash Winning Streakby Brent Harris • September 8, 2010 Share:
A goal with less than a minute left in regulation snapped the Wabash soccer team's winning streak Wednesday night. The Little Giants fell in a heart-breaking 1-0 match at Rose-Hulman.
The Engineers' Paul Bouagnon broke the scoreless tie with 32 seconds remaining in the match when Nick Race hit Clint Vatterrodt in the box with a pass from midfield. Vatterrodt redirected the ball to Bouagnon with the clock winding down for the game-winning shot for Rose-Hulman (1-3).
"We didn't come out and play our style of soccer in the first half," Wabash head coach Roberto Giannini said. "We were rushing just a little bit. The field surface was beautiful and we played a lot of one-touch soccer.
"The second half we came back a little more organized. We brought the ball forward a little bit more. That gave us a couple of scoring chances. These two teams played a very evenly-matched game of soccer.
Little Giant goalkeeper Ian MacDougall (left) made five saves in the match. Femi Oluyedun led the Wabash offensive attack with two shots on goal. Dylan Andrew and Diego Aliaga each added on shot on net in the contest.
"These were two very evenly-matched teams," Giannini added. "Sometimes you win and you don't deserve it, and sometimes you lose and you don't deserve it. Regardless, you're not going to win ever match. Tomorrow we will regroup and focus on Saturday's match against Earlham."
Wabash (3-1) will play the Quakers at noon at Mud Hollow Field.

Olive Branch
Proposed Canon
"Everyone does, at first, and then they are made sorrowful. No-one who loved her ever failed to suffer for it. Nor could she feel remorse."
- - Wanda Firebaugh about Olive
Strengths: Stopping Fights Before They Begin, Music, Treachery
Weaknesses: Not Knowing When to Stop, Impatience, Ability to Seal the Deal, Obsession with Life
First Appearance: IPTSF Text 8 (mentioned), IPTSF Text 12 (in person)
Olive Branch was a daughter of The Wizard of el-Efbaum, Charlie, and started life as a Florist in his service. She was described as having "long golden hair".IPTSF Text 12 Her Hippiemancy was integral to Charlie's efforts to preserve the side from a two front war with Easteros and Westeregg. Eventually, el-Efbaum and Haffaton formed an alliance. Pooling their casters, they were able to cast a Summon Perfect Warlord Spell to summon Judy Gale. The spell croaked the ruler of Easteros outright, and Judy Gale was able to croak Westeregg's ruler with Olive's help.
Upon acquiring the Arkendish from one of the defeated sides, Charlie began performing experiments. Using caster links, he opened Olive's mind to ways of emulating other disciplines with her own. In doing so, she accidentally discovered that some applications of Flower Power could be used as a form of mind control. At some point, she also linked up with a couple of Haffaton's casters, Maxwell and Tina, and together, they developed an addictive flower that came to be known as the heroine bud.
Olive was a thoroughly treacherous and sociopathic individual. While in service to el-Efbaum, she made at least 10 counts of fratricide. In addition, attuning to the Arkendish changed Charlie, causing him to lose the will to fight. Irritated at his newfound pacifism, Olive attempted to use her Flower Power, including the heroine buds, to influence him to conquer again. When this failed, she attempted to murder her father with poison. Charlie cheated death with his Carnymancy, but at a terrible price. Olive fled to Haffaton. She had already brought Lex Doothis under her sway using Flower Power. She was able to make Haffaton conquer el-Efbaum, though Judy Gale chose to have mercy on Charlie, much to Olive's displeasure. Charlie was ultimately carried off by some archons from a far off side, and was able to establish Charlescomm a safe distance away. Charlie remained addicted to the heroine buds, but found a way to survive.
Olive came to be the Chief Florist of Haffaton.IPTSF Text 9 Olive murdered Lex Doothis and attempted to murder his heir, Judy Gale. This failed, but she was still able to turn Judy into a flower-addicted puppet and kept her prisoner in the Olive Garden. This has allowed Olive the freedom to manage the Side however she wishes, and the plausible deniability during parleys of only being the Chief Caster for her side, and not the real power.
Delphie Temple met Olive at least once in Magic Kingdom - supposedly to parley and discuss a proposal of peace and alliance from Haffaton.IPTSF Text 9 After Goodminton reclaimed the city of Goodfinger from Haffaton, Wanda found and wore raiment that - according to Delphie - originally belonged to Olive. Delphie claimed that there is some Signamancy and even Date-a-mancy between Olive and Wanda, and that their Fates are intertwined.IPTSF Text 9 This was tragically proven true, after Olive poisoned Tommy, destroyed the Goodminton side, and captured Wanda. Tina was unable to force Wanda to turn, but Olive Branch succeeded using her heroine buds, and Wanda spent many a miserable turn on the Haffaton side.
Olive Branch was very proud of her discipline and obsessed with the superiority of the Life element. Haffaton once had a large number of powerful casters that were responsible for a lot of the side's success. In spite of this, Olive Branch caused them all to die from heroine buds in order to "prove" the superiority of her own arts, eventually leaving no casters alive except for Wanda and herself.
Spurred on by a prophecy, a side named Faq began searching for a capital to conquer, in order to escape destruction at Haffaton's hands. Thanks to Jillian's recklessness, Haffaton took her prisoner, discovered Faq's existence, and conquered all of their cities. However, the court of Faq managed to escape and eventually came to threaten the Haffaton city of Efbaum.
Olive was Heir Designate to Judy Gale, Overlady of Haffaton. While she effectively ruled Haffaton, Duty prevented Olive from directly acting against Judy by croaking her personally. However, her Loyalty was so low that she was still perfectly willing to leave a unit likely to murder her nearby, namely Jillian, who was Predicted to kill the ruler of Haffaton. To keep her ruler better under her grip and possibly to increase the chance that Judy would be the ruler fated to croak, Olive took away the Arkenshoes her ruler owned, making it difficult for Judy to flee.
Wanda managed to use Findamancy to recover the shoes and return them to Judy. As Judy departed from Erfworld, Olive became the new ruler of Haffaton, which in turn made her the likely subject of Jillian's prediction. Realizing the danger she was in, Olive tried to flee. Fate protected her from being croaked outright, but it enabled her capture, so that she could be put on trial by the court of Faq.
Wanda Firebaugh was unable to provide any evidence as to Olive's wrongdoing, and King Banhammer didn't want to croak her anyways. So Faq merely tried to continue holding her hostage just in case Haffaton or their natural allies, the High Elves, attacked. But then, the Olive Garden was set on fire, releasing fumes from the Heroine Buds, and creating enough of a distraction for her to escape and become a fugitive.
Olive managed to reach the city gate and called out to the surrounding army of High Elves for help. To her dismay, her allies ignored her orders and did nothing to help her. She lifted the portcullis and went under it to escape. But at Wanda's suggestion, Jillian ordered the portcullis to shut, croaking her.
Wanda uncroaked her body shortly afterwards.
Real World References
"Olive Branch" probably refers to a branch of the olive tree – a symbol of peace or victory from the times of Ancient Greece.
At her death, the High Elves sing "ding dong", which is a reference to a song played in one of the film adaptations of the Wizard of Oz, when the munchkins are celebrating the death of the Wicked Witch of the East.
Her character as a whole may be the Good Witch of the North in a reference to an alternate interpretation of the Wizard of Oz (the overarching plot of Haffaton being the story of the Wizard of Oz):
"In 1993 W. Geoffrey Seeley recast the story as an exercise in treachery, suggesting the supposed "Good Witch Glinda" used an innocent, ignorant patsy (Dorothy) to overthrow both her own sister witch (Witch of the West) and the Wizard of Oz, leaving herself as undisputed master of all four corners of Oz: North, East, West and (presumably The Emerald City) South. She even showed her truest "Machiavellian brilliance" by allowing the story to be entitled after the weakest of her three opponents. Glinda could have told Dorothy that the "silver slippers would easily do the job [of returning Dorothy to her beloved home] but decided that a destabilizing force such as Dorothy might be just the thing to shake up her other rival [The Wizard Of Oz].""

Disclaimer: This river is not in Addison County. Or Vermont, even. It's dirty, full of industrial debris, and you have to walk across busy streets to get back to the top. Out of five stars I give it half a star, and if it didn't have one truly fun rapid it would get even less.
Alex Toth falling down in town

Some things are only good once.
"I'm glad I did that, but I'll never do it again," you tell yourself. Like jumping off tall cliffs or owning an iguana.
Other things are not even worth doing once.
The Mascoma River in Lebanon, NH at low water is somewhere between these two categories.
Billy Wagner on the one redeeming rapid
(photo: Nicholas Gottlieb)
There's a small group of dedicated paddlers who kayak regularly on "Downtown," as they call it. They love it with a willful blindness that defies reason. Most of them live in Lebanon, and I suspect don't realize what good paddling they're missing in Addison County.
First, I wouldn't be surprised if a 747 full off concrete chunks and rebar wrecked in the river. There are pointy railroad rails and several drops that land on sharp, manmade rocks. The whole run is shaded by grungy bridges (are there really this many defunct railroads in Lebanon?), and the "fun" rapids feel like certain pins. I took two runs here and broke a boat.
Billy Wagner at a more reasonable level
(photo: Gottlieb)
I've heard that at higher water, this is a blast. There used to be an annual slalom held on the Mascoma, though I don't think they do it anymore. Too many impalements? Waterborne infectious diseases? Either way, I'm glad it doesn't happen anymore.
"Don't give it a terrible lampoon," Nicholas Gottlieb, a local paddler said. "It's great whitewater."
Nick is missing a tooth. Instead of a new tooth, he had it replaced with a metal stud that he uses to open beer cans. He can walk from his couch to the river in six minutes and loves it at all levels. The rocks near the put-in have a permanent smear of red plastic from his hull. He's as credible as they come.
Nick Gottlieb, defending Downtown to the last
(photo: Morgan Boyles)
I, a fair and balanced outside observer with a full complement of teeth, state that Downtown at low water is almost not worth doing even once.
That said, I'll be back. There's something about boofing next to concrete walls, grabbing exposed wires in an eddy and pushing aside a dead bird at the takeout that calls to my soul. And, when I finally get tired of the clean, quality rivers of Addison County (okay, they're not always clean), maybe I'll take another trip to Lebanon.
If you make the same decision, here are the important details. Park at the Taylor Street Lot, behind Peking Tokyo. When the river gets flat, take out on the left. Walk back up Water Street, cross Route 4, then Route 120 (this is definitely the most dangerous part), then back to the car. There's also a tunnel that goes under the parking lot you can take. As always, scout before paddling, as wood and other debris regularly collect here. Wear a lifejacket, paddle an appropriate kayak, and don't paddle alone. If you have more questions, send me an email at [email protected]

They sure make for adorable photos—dancing on dad's shoes, digging into a huge slice of wedding cake—but whether or not you invite kids to your wedding is entirely up to you and your vision for the big day. If you do choose to include the pre-cocktail set, here are a few tips for keeping your cutest guests entertained so everyone can enjoy the celebration.
During the Ceremony
Keep them quietly entertained. Go to the dollar store and stock up on quiet distractions like picture books, finger puppets, and sugar-free lollipops. Have your ushers dole out the treats to parents with small kids, and seat families with young children in the back row or on the aisle, so they can make a quick exit if necessary.
During the Reception
Makeover mealtime. Put a kid-accessible lemonade or Shirley Temple stand by the bar for cocktail hour. Prevent mealtime meltdowns by having your caterer prep kid-friendly dishes. "Think finger food like chicken nuggets, burgers, and pizza.) Plus, caterers charge way less (about half) for kiddie meals than for yours.

Create a kids' VIP room. One of the hottest trends in weddings right now: a reception-within-a-reception just for kids. If you've got the budget for it, it's a total win-win—the tykes will have the time of their lives, while the parents will be free to party sans guilt. "For one winter wedding, I hired Corporate Kids Events to make a separate tent look like an ice cave," says Annette Garcia Kerslake of Simply Natural Events in Los Angeles. "They tricked it out with PlayStations and craft projects—kids were building igloos out of sugar cubes!" (Cost for similar parties: $10 to $30 per child per hour.) Elegant Event Sitters also organizes elaborate kiddie bashes; highlights include superhero cape-making, sand-art stations, and a truck outfitted with Xboxes. (The "Super Sitter" package is $1,500 and covers two to three sitters for up to 10 kids for four hours, including dinner and supplies.)

Football coaches, fans and media like to talk about turning points in games and those specifics are often debatable. But an arguably wild 1:20 of the third quarter propelled Wabash to a 42-28 win over Ohio Wesleyan Saturday in both teams' NCAC season opener.
Ohio Wesleyan, trailing just 14-7, drove the ball 35 yards on 8 plays to open the second half. But Steve Hymes' fumble, recovered by Little Giant Matt Kraft gave Wabash the ball. (See game photo album by clicking here.)
Wabash (2-1) drove the ball 63 yards culminating in a Dustin Huff to Graham Nelson 9-yard touchdown, 21-7. Seemingly, the Little Giants seized control of the game.
Not so fast. Nick Rice took the following kickoff 95 yards to get the seven points right back for the Battling Bishops. Huff then answered just as quickly in a two-play drive scoring on a pass to Mike Russell for 47 yards, 28-14. (Hear Coach Chris Creighton's comments about the game and see more photos here.)
Huff had a monster day in his third start of the year and fifth in his career. He threw for five touchdowns on 22-28 passing for 416 yards. Not stopping there he also had a 12-yard touchdown run in the first quarter.
"Statistics aren't a big thing," he said. "The win is the thing and the scoreboard says 42-28. They were 0-3 but they're a really good team; their record just doesn't show it. It's a good win. It's a conference win. You have to win or go home in the conference and this is where it all starts. Now we just have to focus on Earlham (next week)."
It wasn't just Huff piling up big offensive numbers Saturday. The offense put together a 579-yard day. The Little Giants enjoyed their best rushing day of the young season, amassing 176 yards. Billy King ran for 74 to lead six ball carriers.
The receiving corps enjoyed another huge game thanks to Huff's hot hand. Mike Russell had six catches for 127 yards and a score. Geoff Walker hauled in 7 passes for 96 yards and a TD. Graham Nelson caught just three passes for 45 yards, but two went for touchdowns.
Ray Green enjoyed the most efficiency of any receiver. He caught just one pass, but it was on the second play of the game and went for 78 yards and a score.
"We just had a good call," the speedy junior said. "We thought we could get them in a zone and we had a good route. Huff threw a good ball and that was it from there. It was supposed to be nice, and it just got better and better."
OWU scored to open the fourth quarter but back-to-back Little Giant touchdowns secured the win. Huff hit Geoff Walker from 21 yards out then with just 5:44 to play hit Graham Nelson for a 22-yard TD, 42-21. The Bishops added a final TD with less than two minutes to play.
Adrian Pynenberg again led Wabash in tackles with 10. Matt Kraft and Frank Knez contributed nine and eight, respectively; Kraft had a fumble recovery and an interception. Andy Deig and Josh Gangloff were credited with seven tackles apiece.
In photos: Above left, Huff takes off on a run. He gained 46 yards rushing to go with his 416 through the air. Lower right, Ray Greene on his first quarter touchdown run.

When discussing the quarterback options in the 2013 NFL Draft, Tyler Bray's name usually came up.
Most agreed that Bray was a raw prospect, but that he flashed enough arm strength and overall ability at Tennessee to merit consideration as a mid-round draft pick. No NFL team agreed with that assessment, however, and Bray wound up going undrafted through all seven rounds.
The Chiefs liked him enough to add him to the roster as a free agent, however, and he's the headliner on the list of 13 names they sent out on Wednesday. Alex Smith is locked in as the starter in K.C. and Chase Daniel appears set as the backup, leaving Bray to battle Ricky Stanzi and Alex Tanney for a spot somewhere on the roster or practice squad. Should he land one, Andy Reid's history of developing backups into starters for him or someone else bodes well for Bray's chances of an NFL career.
Another notable member of the free agent group is tight end Demetrius Harris, who reportedly drew interest from a dozen teams after deciding to return to football after finishing a basketball career at Wisconsin-Milwaukee. He had originally signed to play football at Arkansas State before switching gears.
The rest of the Chiefs signings are: Maryland linebacker Darin Drakeford; West Alabama defensive back Otha Foster; Florida wide receiver Frankie Hammond Jr.; Ole Miss offensive lineman A.J. Hawkins; Oregon State offensive lineman Colin Kelly; Vanderbilt defensive end Rob Lohr; Missouri defensive lineman Brad Madison; Columbia linebacker/defensive end Josh Martin; Kansas safety Brad McDougald; Jackson State wide receiver Rico Richardson and West Alabama linebacker Ridge Wilson.

The Sun City Okatie Lions Club will present an evening of big band music featuring the Stardust Orchestra at 7 p.m. March 1 at Magnolia Hall in Sun City.
The annual concert supports the Lions' local efforts to help the blind and visually impaired.
The orchestra, conducted by Dave McMullen, was formed in 2004 and consists of 16 musicians and vocalist. The group has dedicated years of experience to playing "big band" music with commitment and passion. Penny Dawson will be providing the vocals to complete the original sound of that era.
The Stardust Orchestra's performances benefit charitable causes chosen by event sponsors. Since its founding, the orchestra has raised more than $150,000 for local causes. The orchestra is continuing its association with the Sun City Okatie Lions as the club's major annual fundraiser.
Stardust Orchestra was founded by Ray Cummings, a professional musician and educator, dedicated to bringing the style and sound to audiences as "it used to be." The talented group will be playing music made popular by the bands of Benny Goodman, Count Basie, Artie Shaw, Duke Ellington, Glenn Miller, Stan Kenton and Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey.
For reserved tickets call 705-6236. The cost is $20.
The Sun City Okatie Lions Club has dedicated the proceeds of the concert to the purchase of a new mobile vision scanner that will enable the club to screen children in all schools.

Even though we've been accused of having some sort of vendetta against Chris Berman in the past, we can honestly say that's not even close to true. We still (mostly) enjoy him on "NFL Primetime," or the "Blitz," or whatever the hell they call that now. He, during our first six months of existence, he was barely mentioned around here. And then, of course, YWML hit.
"You're With Me, Leather" is now more than two years old ... and it seems older. As we mentioned in the book, we're sure YWML will end up on his tombstone, and we often fear it will end up on ours.
But hey: No such qualms about those videos, which will always have a home here.
So: Do you like the Chris Berman? Do you not like the Chris Berman? Let's hear it; it's like no one here's ever worked on polls before.

Historic Preservation
Oakland's wealth of historic buildings and neighborhoods is matched by few other California cities. These artifacts reflect the city's rich multicultural history, from earliest times to the present. The materials and workmanship used are impossible or costly to obtain today. Still, they serve as our homes, workplaces, and community centers. How can we protect our historic assets, while moving forward with today's needs?
- Historic Preservation Element
- Landmarks and Preservation Districts
- Mills Act
- Surveys and Rating System
- Rehab Right
Historic Preservation Element
In 1994 the City of Oakland adopted a Historic Preservation Element as part of its General Plan. The Element is based on two broad "Goals": to "use historic preservation to foster economic vitality and quality of life" and to "prevent unnecessary destruction of properties of special historical, cultural, and aesthetic value." The Element spells out these goals through policies and actions that govern how the City will treat "Designated Historic Properties" (DHPs: landmarks, districts, and Heritage Properties) and "Potential Designated Historic Properties" (PDHPs).
The City has adopted these policies because it believes historic preservation offers many important benefits:
- Urban revitalization
- Employment opportunities
- Cost-effective affordable housing
- Economic development opportunities
- Community identity and image
- Educational, cultural, and artistic values.
To view the Historic Preservation Element, click here.
Landmarks and Preservation Districts
Landmarks are the most prominent historic properties in the city. They may be designated for historical, cultural, educational, architectural, aesthetic, or environmental value. They are nominated by their owners, the City, or the public and are designated after public hearings by the Landmarks Board, Planning Commission, and City Council. Since the program began in 1973 about 150 individual landmarks and preservation districts have been designated, out of nearly 100,000 buildings in Oakland. These buildings, sites, and features range from City Hall to the home of blues legend Brownie McGhee, from the Old Survivor Redwood Tree to the Grand Lake Theater and Roof Sign.

Mills Act
The Mills Act assists property owners in reaping the benefits of historic rehabilitation and preservation. It can reduce taxes for historic properties, if the owners volunteer to repair and maintain the historic character of their property.

Surveys and Rating System
The Oakland Cultural Heritage Survey (OCHS) is a general survey of every visible building in Oakland. It contains estimates on building age and possible historical or architectural interest. The survey also includes detailed research and evaluation for many specific buildings and neighborhoods. The OCHS staff maintain:
- an extensive library of information on historic properties and districts in Oakland
- Oakland Historic Property listings
A reconnaissance or "windshield survey" of the entire city was completed in 1997. Field surveyors from the City Planning Department drove every street and rated every visible building with a preliminary estimate of its age and its possible historical or architectural interest. In addition, many buildings and neighborhoods have been researched and evaluated in more detail ("intensive survey") by the Planning Department's Cultural Heritage Survey project. All this information is available to the public as well as to city staff.
For more information or to view the survey, contact Betty Marvin, Planner at the Oakland Cultural Heritage Survey, (510) 238-6879 or visit the Historical and Architectural Rating System page.

Microsoft Readies Answer to Google Glass
Microsoft may have missed the first boat on smartphones but it refuses to be left behind in the race to launch wearable devices.
The company is testing prototypes for Internet-connected eyewear similar to Google Glass, people familiar with the matter told The Wall Street Journal, underscoring the company's ambitions to go head-to-head with Google, Samsung and Apple on devices.
Last month, Microsoft struck a $7 billion deal to acquire Nokia's cellphone business in a bid to catch up in a market dominated by Samsung and Apple. Microsoft also has launched the Surface tablet computer and continues to test its own touch-enabled watch, people familiar with the matter have said.
Research firm Gartner expects the market for wearable smart electronics to be a $10 billion industry by 2016. Last month, Samsung unveiled the Galaxy Gear, a digital watch that can run apps and interact with its own family of smartphones.
"Technology companies can't afford to wait," Canalys analyst Daniel Matte said. "But device vendors will face a number of tough challenges including strict power constraints which limit the number of sensors."
Matte said smart eyewear is likely to remain a relatively niche category for at least the next three to five years, though the Glass-like products may do well for now in certain markets such as security and health.
The right pricing strategy is also crucial. Topology Research analyst Jason Tsai said the retail prices for the wearable gadgets in the market are too high to attract more customers to try the new devices.
Google Glass is looking at a $1,500 price tag, while the prices for smartwatches range between $100 and $400, Tsai said. "To drive consumer interest, hardware makers are expected to lower the retail prices for wearable devices going forward," he said.

A recent study shows American millionaires are giving their heirs a dose of tough love.
New data shows that 82 percent of American millionaires feel each generation should be responsible for creating its own wealth -- up significantly from the 65 percent who said that in 2007, according to studies commissioned by PNC Wealth Management.
And raising successful and hard-working children was priority No. 1 for 84 percent of respondents, up from 75 percent in 2007.
"It's human to want your children to have a better life than you have had, but too much financial support...might have negative longer term consequences," said Steve Pappaterri, senior PNC's managing director of wealth planning, in a statement.
"Ultimately, parents want their children to make their own way in life."
Some more interesting findings from the study:
- Post-recession sentiments: One-third of millionaires anticipate a decline in the wealth they expect to pass on to the next generation, according to PNC's Wealth and Values Survey. But nearly half of respondents said they expect to pass on at least $500,000 of wealth to their heirs.
- Financial legacies: Millionaires expect their finances will be a significant part of their personal legacies. And 86 percent intend to leave something for the next generation, be it passing on property, family heirlooms or ownership/participation in a business. Nearly 50 percent of millionaires expect to pass on assets via trust fund.
- Transfer of wealth: Most wealthy households have at least some plans in place for transfer of wealth: 82 percent have wills, 52 percent have trusts and 52 percent have estate managers. Among wealthy business owners, however, only 15 percent have a formal succession plan in place.
- Childhood financials: Seventy-five percent said their financial situation growing up was average, 12 percent said they grew up poor, and another 12 percent said they grew up wealthy.
- Generational assistance: Sixty-seven percent of millionaires said they got help from their parents, and 91 percent of them plan to do more for their children. With rising education costs, 84 percent said they have or expect to financially support their children's higher education. Many millionaire parents said they strongly support purchases such as a car (61 percent) and down payments on homes (45 percent).

Danish dunderhead and director of occasionally great films Lars von Trier says he's being investigated by French authorities for saying (jokingly) that he's a Nazi. (The video is here.)
Yeah, see France has this law about it being illegal to justify war crimes or something, so it's possible that von Trier saying that he "sympathize[s]" with Hitler is in violation of that. Oops!
After the initial uproar, von Trier did say that he was just being a jokester and of course he doesn't like the idea of World War II or of killing Jews and everyone else. He was just, y'know, doing lame promotional work for his movie at stuffy old Cannes and he wanted to have some fun with the uptight Frenchies. And now those Frenchies are kind of just proving his point.
Lars von Trier can't win! Except that all of this attention probably feels like winning to him. [EW, photo via Getty]

Katy Perry + Russell Brand Friends Were Shocked by Split
Russell Brand shocked the world by filing for divorce from Katy Perry, his wife of just 14 months, especially since the duo seemed so happy and in love and had just made a public appearance where they held hands and looked at one another lovingly. Outsiders and pop culture pundits weren't the only ones with jaws agape. Turns out the couple's inner circle was equally as surprised by the split. A pair of sources has revealed some key details that might help fans understand the break up or be further confused by it!
A source close to the couple told PEOPLE: "I was shocked when I found out. I was really surprised that Russell filed for divorce so quickly – especially at Christmas time." The source didn't go as far as to say that he or she believed the Perry-Brand relationship would last forever (which, uh, is what marriage is supposed to mean) but expected it to last more than a year and two months. The source finished, "I thought they would be together for a long time. Maybe not forever – but definitely not just 14 months."
The source did acknowledge that Perry and Brand were "always laughing" and "very affectionate. They seemed like they were really in love."
That's exactly what we thought, so perhaps there is more going on here than meets the eye. Guess we'll have to wait until Perry grants her first interview on the subject to Oprah or Katie Couric.
A second source, who claims to have spent time in the couple's presence, admitted that both parties "took marriage very seriously." Despite their stance on the institution, things disintegrated. The second source stated, "These aren't people who give up. I always thought they would work on their marriage if they had trouble." Does that mean that Perry and Brand had been having issues for quite some time and couldn't overcome them?
The mystery about why the heck Perry and Brand split only deepens.

On Friday, as part of a federal investigation, BP released a series of internal e-mails sent directly after the Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded and started to leak oil into the Gulf of Mexico that seem to reveal that the company knew just how disastrous the situation could be. The day of the spill, BP had an expert model the situation at the Deepwater Horizon well and the modeler came up with a possible leakage of 3.4 million gallons per day. BP managers then instructed everyone at the company who knew about the truth to keep quiet about this knowledge, all the while telling the public that they estimated a mere 42,000 gallons per day were leaking from the well. It seems that if BP had the gumption to just come out and tell the truth, the oil spill containment mission might have received the full gusto that it required.
Thanks to the now public e-mails we can finally say with confidence what we've wanted to claim all along – BP was lying about what they knew. While attempting to internally diagnose how deep of a oily hole they were in, they were publicly showing an air of confidence that the whole situation was much less dangerous than they knew it was. In the e-mails, detailed over at the New York Times it is revealed that the company knew immediately that the situation was worse than even the government now says it was — by about one million gallons.
Under the Clean Water Act, the investigation must find out a correct flow rate in order to determine what the civil and criminal penalties that BP, Halliburton and Transocean — the companies currently under investigation for their part in the disaster — will be ordered to pay. The investigation was already hot as it was discovered that Halliburton might have been attempting to destroy evidence of wrongdoing in relation to their part in the Deepwater Horizon well construction. As criminal charges are being prepared in the case against BP, and the Gulf of Mexico is not fully recovered from the disaster, many are waiting with bated breath for the decision on how to punish those responsible.

No matter what style dilemma you've recently been dealing with, there's always an accessory that will solve it. Having a bad hair day? Sort it out with a beanie which makes you look cool in cool days. You think your outfit is very simple? Just wear a trendy leather bracelet and a men necklace to make your look in a style.
Finding the right details to finish off an outfit isn't something most guys think about. From neckwear, glasses, belts, and bracelets, there are many ways to have a 'effortlessly stylish' look. You just need to know which one or ones are for you. So… Here is a men's accessory guide just before Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Pick one!
- Hats and beanies - A hat is a great addition to your outfit. Casual hats with a black framed glasses give a playful vibe and a scholar look to a business or a casual smart look. For example, throwing on a navy or grey beanie with a navy blazer, khaki chinos or jeans, grey jumper, rugged boots, a printed scarf , and a messenger bag is a great touch. It shows you put effort into your outfit but without a big effort.
Nixon compass grey beanie: £15.96
Bench men's chorlton oversized beanie:
£14.99 £11.99
Quiksilver Caribou hat black: £30
Grey wool fedora: £ 41.16
- Glasses and Sunglasses – Sunglasses are not just for summer anymore. When you see a little sunshine just put them on. Besides in winter season if you are a snowboarder or a skier your sunglasses are for 12 months. And drivers… You never know when the sun hurts your eyes while driving. If it's a very grey there without any sunlight then you may go with coloured framed glasses for a scholar look. In both cases be sure to know your face shape.
Oakley StyleSwitch sunglasses in crystal black black: £156.00
Reclaimed vintage round sunglasses: £35.81
Garrett Leight 'Abbot' glasses: £219.85
- Scarves - I know… You are tired of reading about statement scarves but it's such a big and important trend that I can't finalize any posts without mentioning it. For a formal look you may go with loop knots (fold the scarf in half and put the loose ends through the loop). For a more casual look just swing the scarf around your neck and letting both ends hang on each side.
- Belts - They say women can't walk properly without a bag. That's not true. But we do feel naked without a bag. That's true. I think the same situation must be for belts and guys. Guys (You) MUST feel themselves naked without a belt. It's that much an essential! Belt rules are easy to get right: If your pants have belt loops, wear a belt with them. For a formal look make sure that your belt fits with your shoes. For a casual look go with 'outstanding' ones. Try contrast colours.
G-Star cooper belt: £60
Scotch & Soda ethnic woven blue belt: £ 24.36
Paul & Joe Emerson burgundy dotted belt: £ 71.40
Dsquared2 BELT: £84.00
Armani embossed cracked leather belt: £98.99
- Bracelets, necklaces, and watches – I don't know if it's just me but I think men wearing bracelets, watches, and necklaces are very sexy! When it comes to bracelets don't wear too many. 1-2 is enough.
Philipp Plein round metal men's necklace: £177.50
Icon Brand billy rock necklace:
Leather and stainless steel multicoloured necklace: £24.99
Tribal men's brown leather bracelet: £13.15
Forzieri Di Fulco Line stainless steel men's bracelet: £63.50
Vivienne Westwood pete metal bracelet: £85.00
Vivienne Westwood otho leather bracelet: £75.00
Cerruti stainless steel brown leather bracelet: £75.00
Just Cavalli route brown leather and rubber bracelet: £95.85
Bottega Veneta Intrecciato oxidised silver bracelet: £335.00
- Gloves – I must say only go for leather gloves. Maybe it's the biker charisma or something else but men should wear only but only leather gloves. That's my idea and I'm standing behind it! They are also functional you know. J You can keep your hands warm. Try to make it good with your watch too.
Fossil Nate black stainless steel chronograph watches: £156.20
ATOP unisex watch WWS-1A: £160.00 £107.00
Tissot gents T sport stainless steel bracelet watch: £260.00
AGNELLE Brown iPhone gloves with wool lining: £ 105

EPA Studies Emissions from Houston-Bound Cargo Ship - International initiative will reduce sulfur dioxide from ship stacks
Release Date: 04/15/2010
Contact Information: Dave Bary at 214-665-2200 or firstname.lastname@example.com
(Dallas, Texas – April 15, 2010) Today EPA Regional Administrator Al Armendariz joined Port of Houston Authority Chairman James Edwards and Chief Executive Officer Alec Dreyer to see first-hand their many environmental programs. The Port of Houston Authority has partnered with EPA on several initiatives designed to develop best practices for Port operations across the country. The Port of Houston Authority is currently partnering with EPA to study air emissions from cargo ships.
With next week's arrival of an ocean-going cargo vessel at the Port of Houston Authority, the Environmental Protection Agency will conclude the data-gathering phase of a study on using lower sulfur marine fuels to reduce air pollution in the Gulf of Mexico. The study will collect stack emissions monitoring data before, after and during the use of lower sulfur fuels on the vessel.
"This is the first time EPA will have emissions data gathered directly from a commercial cargo ship operating in the Gulf of Mexico," said Michelle DePass, assistant administrator for EPA's Office of International and Tribal Affairs. "Policy makers in the U.S. and Mexico will soon have Gulf-specific emissions data to show reductions achieved from burning lower-sulfur fuels near land in U.S. and Mexican waters. This showcases a practice that will help the international shipping industry meet forthcoming standards."
Beginning in August 2012, stringent international standards will require that lower sulfur fuels be used by ships operating within up to 200 nautical miles of the majority of the U.S. and Canadian Atlantic and Pacific coastal waters, as well as the U.S. Gulf Coast.
EPA expects these international standards to bring important benefits for human health through combustion of significantly lower sulfur fuels. Atmospheric reactions convert sulfur dioxide emissions, a byproduct of burning fossil fuels, to sulfate particles, which are a significant threat to public health and marine and terrestrial ecosystems.
"By 2020, EPA estimates that tougher standards on diesel-powered ocean vessels will prevent 14,000 premature deaths and help relieve respiratory symptoms for nearly five million people each year in the United States and Canada", said Gina McCarthy, EPA assistant administrator for Air and Radiation. "In the U.S. alone, they will provide more than $110 billion in health-related benefits by 2020."
"The Port of Houston Authority is proud of its support and financial contributions to this important EPA study," said Charlie Jenkins, vice president of strategic planning for the Port of Houston Authority. "The collection of emissions data from the Hamburg Süd vessel will be an important step to demonstrate fuel switching and show its emission reduction potential for all ocean-going vessels traveling the Gulf of Mexico."
"The Port of Houston Authority has continued to show leadership in reducing diesel air pollution from its on-site operation and truck traffic to and from its shipping terminals," said EPA Regional Administrator Al Armendariz. "Their leadership in collecting much needed scientific data on the actual emissions from cargo ships is invaluable and demonstrates their commitment to 'greening' Port operations across the country."
The study is the result of a partnership between the EPA, the Port of Houston Authority, the Mexican federal government and Hamburg Süd, a German-based shipping company. Additionally, ICF International and the University of California-Riverside are managing the technical elements of the program, including the emission measurements.
"We at Hamburg Süd are proud to help pioneer a new era of responsible marine environmental stewardship," said Rainer Dehe, Director Operations, Hamburg Süd North America, Inc.
