Cumberland Times-News
CUMBERLAND — The search for a new president for Allegany College of Maryland is "off to a great start" and officials hope to name a new leader by mid-November, according to Board of Trustees Chair Kim Leonard.
A newly appointed Presidential Search Committee is scheduled to meet for the first time in late this month, and a tentative deadline for receiving applications has been set for Sept. 15, according to a timeline posted on ACM's website.
The quest for new leadership became necessary in May when Bruce Exstrom, who served as ACM's president for two years, unexpectedly resigned, saying he wished to pursue other career opportunities. His last day was June 30.
The search for a new president, which is to be national in scope, is being facilitated by the Association of Community College Trustees.
"This is one of the most important decisions for all of us and it will decide the direction of the college for years to come," Leonard said in a press release posted on ACM's website.
Though the selection process is confidential, finalists are to participate in public forums, and Leonard said progress reports will be regularly posted.
"... We are committed to undertaking a process that will allow us to keep the college community informed and involved," he said in the release. "We will keep the college informed through the distribution of regular progress reports, the posting of information on the college's web page, and during my formal reports provided during the regular meetings of the board."
Advertisements announcing the vacancy have been placed in the Chronicle of Higher Education and other publications, but the "heavy lifting" of sorting through applications won't begin until after the fall semester starts.
What the search committee is looking for is a "student-centered educator" who is "decisive" and "approachable" and a "champion of innovation," according to a position profile posted on ACM's website. In addition, the school wants to hire someone who will "make a long-term commitment to the college," the profile says.
Search committee members include faculty members Dr. June Bracken, director of developmental education; Dr. Merle Helsel, business; Dr. Bill Rocks, director of respiratory therapy; Dr. Maggie Waldmann, biology; and Dr. Bev Wilcox, English.
Other Allegany College of Maryland employees on the committee are Mona Clites, vice president of administrative services; Dr. Heather Perfetti, vice president of instructional affairs; Kara Riley, chair of associate support staff and nursing faculty secretary; and Beth Nightengale, chair of professional support staff and college recruiter.
Also on the committee are ACM's Bedford Foundation Chair Dan Koontz, Cumberland Foundation Chair Dr. Audie Klingler, Somerset Foundation Chair Linda Fetterolf, Board of Trustees Vice Chair Jane Belt and Leonard.
Tom Finan, a Cumberland-area businessman and past ACM board chair, will serve as a community representative. A student government representative hasn't yet been chosen.
Appointed interim president was retired ACM administrator Gary Durr, who agreed to serve in the position for one year. Exstrom, who was a finalist for the president's job at Blackhawk Technical College in Wisconsin earlier this summer, wasn't selected for that position.

Facebook is finally letting users 'dislike' something on Facebook, but there's a catch. There's always a catch.
Xara Designer Pro X9, which bundles the company's tools for image editing, illustration, Web design, and layout, now is available, and customers don't need a subscription.
Adobe will adjust its subscription plans to appeal better to photo hobbyists, but it won't restore what many critics want -- an option to buy perpetual licenses to new versions of its software.
A customer survey appears just as Facebook amps up its advertising and takes heat for not giving the user experience enough love.
The Retina Display topped the list as the most liked feature, while the iPad's cost was the biggest complaint, says a new survey from ChangeWave.
Amazon sold about 5 million Kindles in the first couple months of sales. So, what do users like and dislike about it? A survey provides some answers.
For those that dislike everything, "f me" links are also an option.

Many Facebook members have voiced a desire for an official "dislike" button, something scammers are now exploiting with a rogue application that spams friends.
A survey of iPad owners shows overall they're happy with the device, though the lack of Flash support tops the list of dislikes.

Erin Brockovich famously wrote on the Huffington Post that the Harriman/Kingston area is "off the beaten path," a sentiment that raised some blogospheric ire. It is, as one Roane County blogger points out, along a major freeway and it's a short drive from East Tennessee's largest shopping center, Turkey Creek.
But getting to Ron and Joanie Smiths' house on Swan Pond Circle—just beyond the Harriman city limits—requires a nearly 10-minute drive from any major highway onto winding Highland Drive, which, from turn to turn, can't seem to decide if it's a robust paved two-laner or a gravel pathway barely wide enough for one car. If the area in general isn't off the beaten path, the Smiths' particular corner of it certainly is.
"A lot of people around here defend their homes with a Smith & Wesson," says Ron Smith with more than a touch of suspicion in his voice.
That sounds odd coming from him. After all, he is an upper-middle class network analyst. He's young—at 39, just beginning to settle into the graying side of middle age. Judging by the four computers in the family's well-appointed living room (complete with an imposing high-definition television), he works out of his house quite a bit.
Ron and his wife Joanie, a bookkeeper who's also 39, are just about to sit down to a dinner of takeout sushi for his daughter's (her stepdaughter's) 15th birthday.
Under normal circumstances, these would be "Stick around, we've TiVoed the last two weeks of Deal or No Deal," people, not "I'm implying that we have a gun in the house" people.
But this past week, there have been widespread reports in the area of robberies by home invaders pretending to be Tennessee Health Department officials. Maybe he thinks there's cause for concern in some guy claiming to be a reporter who wants to come by and "check out the house."
The Smiths, after all, moved into this backwoods plot in part for the safety it's supposed to provide. Of course, when they used to think about safety, they would think about things like crime rates—negligible there.
"It's not like in Knoxville here," he says. "You call the police here, they're at your house in five minutes."
And Joanie says she liked the natural beauty of the place, now marred by the spill.
"It sits on a lake. It's a beautiful little town. Great community, great people," says Joanie. "We never thought about there being a problem living next to the plant."
Now they pointedly offer their guests bottled—not tap—water, "unless it's somebody from TVA. They can drink from the tap," says Ron. Two weeks ago, he went to Washington with a group of other area residents to talk to Sen. Barbara Boxer, chair of the Environment and Public Works Committee encouraging federal regulations for the storage of coal ash. Becoming a de facto ecological spokesman is a new role for Ron.
"Am I an environmentalist now?" he says, laughing.
"Yeah, you've gone over to the other side," Joanie says.
Ron sees himself as a realist on the coal issue, saying that while he believes utilities like TVA will have to make strides in the direction of beefing up alternative energy sources, coal will remain an important source of power, and TVA should focus on storing it properly rather than replacing it immediately.
"Yes, coal is a finite resource. I know that," he says. "But it's a vital resource for this region."
They've both had a lot to get used to, of course.
"This spill has become the center of our lives," says Joanie. "It's on our minds from the second we get up in the morning to the second we go to sleep." That makes sense: The five-acre property backs right up to slurry ground zero.
Now, the couple says, the experience has spoiled what they once thought of as their "dream house," and they want to get out of town. They've been waiting on an assessment, and hopefully a purchase offer, from the utility. They say they're trusting TVA to do the right thing and give them a fair price on the property, which they had assessed at $350,000 last year. They haven't talked to a lawyer—neighbors on both sides of the property are already involved in lawsuits against the utility—or their home insurance company, or even a third party appraiser to help negotiate with whatever estimate TVA gives them.
"Maybe we're naive," says Joanie.
The couple purchased the home in late 2006 for $285,000. It was perfect for their purposes. The house—a three-bedroom brick mini-mansion that would fit in well in any West Knoxville subdivision-—suited their purposes nicely. The fact that it's brand new, built in 2005, fit Ron's tastes, and the fact that it sits on so much land is good for Joanie. She owns horses and teaches riding lessons in the backyard, a second source of income that's been, at least temporarily, taken from them as a result of the spill. They call the place "Soggy Bottom Farm."
"We'd looked for a long time. And any time you find any land with a house, usually the house is very rundown or very old," says Ron.
The family got the call about the spill in the middle of the night.
"My daughter Katie's boyfriend is on the rescue squad. He called us about 1 a.m. to tell us what happened," Joanie says. Then, he came to their door at 1:15 a.m. to make sure they were okay. "He said there was a big mudslide, and that we better be ready to go. Of course, you can't fathom what a mudslide is in Tennessee."
So they went to sleep, but then were pulled out of bed again.
"I'd say it was about 20 minutes later, there was like eight units of ambulances, rescue equipment, everything out behind the house. The back of the house was all lit up in blue and red," Joanie says. "Still, at this point, we had no idea of what we were looking at."
Then, the next morning, Joanie was on her way to work and she saw the full extent of the damage.
"I was shocked," she says. "It was like The Twilight Zone. I just couldn't believe it... It looked like—well, I've never seen a volcanic eruption up close, but that's what it seemed like."
But, she says, the problems really started for the family the following Saturday.
"The TVA had a blockade set up on the street," says Joanie. "We needed passes on our cars to get to our own house. I was just like, 'Are you kidding me?'"

DURHAM — The odds of a typical golfer sinking a hole-in-one stand roughly equal to the chance of finding a pearl inside an oyster.
So when Kelly Ritter did it on the 11th hole at the Durham Senior Amateur, he won an appropriate prize: a brand-new Lexus, painted white.
One hour later, Gerry Silva stepped to the tee and knocked a drive that practically split the Earth open at Croasdaile Country Club. Another hole-in-one, another Lexus – thanks to a 1.5 million to 1 long shot.
It gets better.
When prize time rolled around, Johnson Lexus realized that its insurance policy covered the prize on Hole No. 2. Through a mix-up with its promotions company, the Lexus prize had been displayed at the miraculous Hole No. 11. Now, the insurers wouldn't cover the expense.
But how do you snatch a pair of luxury cars away from a pair of senior-citizen golf heroes?
You don't.
The dealership ponies up the cars anyway, at its own expense, handing Ritter and Silva the keys to two ES 300h luxury sedans.
"The odds of getting two holes-in-one, on the same hole, on the same day, and having the contract for the prize on the wrong hole," said Sean Alizarin, community relations for Johnson Lexus, "that's like hitting the Powerball down in Florida."
"And tearing up the ticket," joked tournament chairman Dink Andrews.
Durham Senior Amateur is the largest of its kind in the United States, Andrews said, and the late May championship marked its fourth year.
The 11th hole at Croasdaile is a par 3, stretching 171 yards.
Ritter played it first, using a 5-iron, wind at about 10 mph.
"I thought I had too much club," said Ritter, 63. "One bounce and it went in."
Silva teed up second with a 6-iron.
"It's a pretty straightforward hole," said Silva, 67, "but it's well-banked, and there was a breeze to the left. I thought I'd play to the left and let the wind bring it back, and then I thought, 'Gee, I'm over-thinking this.' "
That made Silva's second-ever hole-in-one; Ritter's third.
As a bonus, they also win a Las Vegas vacation and a set of Callaway clubs.
When Silva picked up his car Thursday, he hadn't even calculated the tax hit.
"I worked for the IRS," he said. "Paying taxes is a privilege. Means you're making money."

60 Comments
DrSpoq said 266 weeks agoCool design. But I beg you guys, no more white colored shirts.. PLLLLEASEEE! :)
sawbones84 said 266 weeks agowhite shirts. boooooooooooooooooo
stablercake said 266 weeks agoCool, I like the side works better.
Orangehat13 said 266 weeks agoI love the design, especially the pencil sketch feel. What I LOVE is the green sneaker design on the side.
All of these designs would make for excellent stickers. I'd like them to be about the size of my hand.
RiantGorkette said 266 weeks agoI'm liking the guy's cream colour better than the white though, but still not into the light shirts, I like colours. Interesting concept though
KidCam said 266 weeks agoim really liking the design 2nd from the bottom
the main shoe is my favorite shoe, air max 90
Omnitarian said 266 weeks agoThe guy's shirt is on cream, not white. But honestly white shirts get too much flak, nothing wrong with the purest of nuetral backgrounds!
I spotted Dxtr's work a ways back and he quickly became one my closely-watched artists. This shirt is great but I dunno... the pencil sketch/color splash composition feels pretty stale to me. Would have loved to have seen something more like what's on the side, especially the collabs he did with StickAThing (that's what the sneaker design is).
WinterArtwork said 266 weeks agocongrats Dxtr excellent piece of illustration!
Chadlonius said 266 weeks agoI like this a lot. It has a organic, sketchy feel to it. Nicely Done!
razz007 said 266 weeks agowhats the aversion to white shirts? Its good to have a few in their that are white. get over your phobias regarding whites. live a little. By the way nice design. looks good on the cream.
makenna said 266 weeks agoI would totally have just bought this if it wasn't printed on white....I absolutely love the design.
wl552 said 266 weeks agoInteresting design today. I like the colors and to use Chadlonuis's word, the organic feel to it is wonderful. Though, I actually would've preferred the men's on white. ;
The topmost side art is A+. That needs to be printed; I would buy two.. one for each of my boys - they are at that bug/reptile age. ^_^
cbass99 said 266 weeks agoall of your designs are great. nice work bud!
jesteroutlaw said 266 weeks agoThe design in beautiful, but I prefer dark shirts myself. Great job, though.
Mr. Sweet N Awful said 266 weeks agogorgeous. and the designs on the side are awesome too.
endorphinaddict said 266 weeks agowould have prefered the rainforest design on the side but its cool either way
NeoAkira said 266 weeks agoHow come the best designs are always the ones that DON'T get made into shirts?
NikhilH said 266 weeks agoIm loving the sea-life design on the right, too awesome. But im not digging the white shirt, im going to parse once again.
bajunda said 266 weeks agoi for one love cream and white shirts, bought
wotto said 266 weeks agoI first saw Dxtr when we did the street art collab and I've loved his stuff ever since. This design is awesome and I enjoyed working with this dude, a lot.
P.S White haters - we know you don't like white but guess what? Some white shirts sell very very well, there are many more people in the universe other than yourself.
grand_david said 266 weeks agoNice composition and mix of techniques. just ordered one
thejakeyl88 said 266 weeks agoWonderful, I like it a lot!
smiffy said 266 weeks agoawesome design.

To the editor:
This is a response to Kerry Mackin's criticism of Sen. Scott Brown's vote against the DREAM Act.
Does Mackin or anyone else know what the DREAM Act is and how it came about? On two occasions, Congress refused to pass the DREAM Act. President Barack Obama, apparently for the sake of political expediency, has simply decided to ignore Congress and decree the DREAM Act law on his own authority. Does this smack of dictatorship? Even Obama admitted this was illegal, thus to justify it, the administration used the loophole of "prosecutional discretion," a legal principle in which they stated that they can lay off enforcement of immigration law against "DREAMers." That is, the administration ordered the Immigration & Customs Enforcement agents to employ lax enforcement toward illegal aliens claiming to be in the DREAM category, without proof.
The president of the National ICE Council stated that illegal aliens have been released because of their claims, without proof that they were DREAMers. He also stated that there had been an alien arrested on several felony charges, only one of which was related to this immigration status. The prosecutors said that he was a DREAMer and to release him. The aliens do not have to prove anything. The Obama administration have maintained that illegals who have committed crimes other than breaking the immigration law would not be eligible for the DREAM amnesty.
The other part of the DREAM Act was for illegals to prove that they arrived in the U.S. under the age of 16 and are under the age of 31. They also must show that they are high school graduates or are working on a high school degree. ... There is nothing in the act that they have to graduate after enrolling in a school. Therefore, an illegal can enroll and stay for a day or two and then drop out.
Rep. Steve King is preparing a lawsuit against the edict, and Rep. Ben Quayle introduced legislation in the House, H.R. 5953, to stop the amnesty. To support them, write to your House members and ask them to support the lawsuit and the bill. ... Thus, I say kudos to Sen. Brown for voting against the DREAM Act.

The cuts figure out to around 1% of the budget of nearly $4.5 billion
Revenue collections last month were $18 million lower than experts predicted. And today's move is Graves' attempt to keep the state from ending the fiscal year next summer with a negative balance.
Elementary and secondary education was held to a cut of $17.5 million. It translates to a reduction of per-pupil spending by $30.

We have a new poll for the state of Maryland that dives into how Marylanders feel about the ballot questions we will be voting on in November. Gonzales Research usually takes a few days before posting poll results to its website, but Maryland Reporter did post the actual poll results document at its website. Boiling it down to what this means for the actual ballot questions and how they would turn out assuming the results match the expected way people would vote on the questions, here are those results:
Yes 58%
No 34%
Yes 51%
No 43%
Yes 45%
No 46%
The questions on Same Sex Marriage and the Dream Act are pretty clear cut. If you are in favor or oppose either issue, your vote in November is clear. Interestingly in this poll, 17% of Republicans favor same-sex marriage, roughly one out of every five Republicans you run across will support same-sex marriage and appear to be ready to vote in favor it this year, including yours truly.
I think the one is many people, like me, have no issue with expanded gambling in the state of Maryland but might have problems with the way it is being implemented. The vote on this issue is a little more muddled because you might agree with the end goal, but the process to get there makes a lot of people think twice about voting in favor of this question.
I, for one, have been surprised at the seeming lack of any advertising on either side for the Same Sex Marriage issue or the "Dream Act" issue. Every television ad and mailer that I have seen related to the ballot questions this year has been solely focused on Question 7 regarding the gambling issue. Is everyone else experiencing the same?
The other item of note that I briefly mentioned in my previous post regarding a new poll from YouGov concerns the US Senate race and how much impact the Independent candidate Rob Sobhani will have. I think even the most hard core Republican would tell you Maryland is a tough state for Republicans, but I brought up the fact that the YouGov poll did not include Rob Sobhani, who as far as I can tell, is the only candidate running advertising this year on television (at least from what I have seen). In this latest poll from Gonzales Research, Sobhani is included and is actually threatening to surpass the Republican candidate Dan Bongino in the polls.
US SENATE - MARYLAND (Gonzales)
Ben Cardin (D-inc) 50%
Dan Bongino (R) 22%
Rob Sobhani (I) 21%
I have heard Bongino speak and he is an impressive candidate taking the fact that he is running in Maryland out of the equation, but the truth is I rarely see him outside of political-oriented events. I see Rob Sobhani all over the television, which is the way most Maryland voters get their political news. My wife, who pays a lot less attention to Maryland politics than I do, has commented on how many times she has seen him on TV and asked me who he is. She has never asked me who Dan Bongino is. Again, it will be tough for either Bongino or Sobhani to defeat Cardin, but the fact that Sobhani appears to have reached at least 20% shows this carpet bombing of television ads is working to get his name out there.
This poll was done September 17-23 among 813 registered voters with a margin of error of +/- 3.5%. Maryland Reporter has the full results here.

In response to letters regarding the Gig Harbor Senior Club, we are fairly new; building a viable organization takes time.
Four years ago, we had no senior club. Since it opened in 2009, I've been an active member who appreciates the many services offered.
An individual's annual fee amounts to $1.90 a week; $3.60 per couple (that's $1.68 each)! Can't buy a cup of coffee a week for that.
Yes, there are some disadvantages under the Boys & Girls Club. Our own phone listing, better public identification and more visibility are needed. Even with some drawbacks, the Boys & Girls Club provides many resources, and that makes it financially possible for the senior club's existence.
Members can make the club as "real" as they wish. No van? The club can't please everyone, but lobby for your wishes without denigrating what is offered. Transportation was never promised, nor is the club an adult day care facility. It's is the active retirement and senior club, where seniors participate in fun, healthy activities, make friends and socialize.
Some of the dozens of free activities geared to seniors: exercise and computer classes, Nintendo WII games and health services that focus on seniors are free or inexpensive. At tax time, AARP is on site with free tax help. The coordinator encourages member involvement, works diligently for us, and they are knowledgeable and dedicated to building a robust organization.

ABB completes acquisition of K-TEK
Integration of instrumentation maker aims to boost instrumentation portfolio and improve offerings for oil and gas, water markets.
ABB, an industrial power and automation technology group, has announced that it has completed its acquisition of K-TEK, the Prairieville, LA manufacturer of level-sensing technologies. K-TEK will become part of the measurement products business unit within ABB's process automation division.
Citing more than 350,000 installations since its founding in 1975, K-TEK claims a position as a global leader in level detection technology. The operation employs more than 250 people with facilities in China, Netherlands, India, and South Africa in addition to the U.S.
Veli-Matti Reinikkala, head of ABB's Process Automation division, noted K-TEK's leadership position in the oil and gas industry, where ABB has a large installed base. "This acquisition will provide our mutual customers in oil and gas, water, and other industries with access to an expanded range of leading-edge instrumentation and sensing technologies," he says. "We see a lot of potential for synergy between ABB's extensive geographic reach and exposure to other industries, and K-TEK's depth in level detection technology."
ABB characterizes the acquisition as part of an effort to pursue growth opportunities that complement its product, technology, and geographical portfolio.

They weigh in at 67 tons each. And there are 865 more to place.
Monday marked a significant milestone in the downtown portion of the Ohio River Bridges Project with the placement of five concrete beams that form the foundation of the new exit from Interstate 65 onto 10th Street in Jeffersonville.
The "bulb tee" beams — each 118 feet, 6 inches long and 54 inches tall — "represent the first bridge concrete beams to be set on the project" connecting downtown Louisville to Jeffersonville, said Max Rowland, a project manager for Walsh Construction, the contractor for the downtown portion of the project.
Over the next three years, a total of 870 beams will be put into place on the downtown crossing, which will run parallel to the existing Kennedy Bridge and include six northbound lanes on I-65.
"These five are just a very small percentage of all the ones that have to be set for the project," Rowland said.
Monday's work, near Sixth and Broadway streets, is the beginning stage of the ramp project, with the next phase being the placement of metal deck forms that span each of the beams and will support the wet concrete that will be poured sometime next spring, according to Rowland.
The massive beams were delivered to the site Monday morning via a police escort due to their over-size and over-weight dimensions which required special permitting.
Despite the recent snowy and wet weather, Rowland said the overall project is still on schedule with an anticipated 2016 completion date.

While reading this post on Canada's not at all humiliating loss to a team their erudite fans referred to as "the Dominican Republic or somebody" shortly before losing I thought to myself "this Eastern European guy did a decent job translating his work to English".
Indeed, the last time any nation with "Czech" in the name that beat Canada at the U20s was January 4, 1993, when the Czech/Slovak Republic won, 7-4.
That sentence is as poorly constructed as Canada's goaltending program. Fortunately for this site and our sense of smug superiority the author goes on to describe the USA game:
U.S. powers past Germany 8-0. Losers dress just 17 skaters.
That's a better start, though calling Germany "losers" is a lot like pointing out that most Canadians haven't seen the sun in three weeks: it's true but hardly needed to be pointed out. (Those "losers" scored against Canada for the record).
He continues:
The win was aided in part by Germany's ability to dress only 17 skaters as three regulars were injured and unable to play.
Ah yes, certainly the US was greatly aided by the fact that some of the powerhouse Germans didn't suit up. Might have been a close game if those three guys had been on the bench.
So where is our mystery author from? You guessed it. We at the Sleeping Giant look forward to more thinly disguised pro-Canadian propaganda as part of the vast anti-American conspiracy we've exposed to you for years.

For The Register-Herald
This past week I had reservations for a mini-vacation in a one-room cabin in the mountains situated high atop the Gauley River. The cabin sat overlooking a fine forested vista and was very private. Although I never read the brochure for the cabin, I can only imagine it read something like this.
"With exquisite mountain views and locations just minutes from a National Park, our cabin allows you to take in a true mountain experience. Sit on your deck and gaze out at blue, misty mountains or immerse yourself in wilderness hiking, rafting, horseback riding and hunting or fishing. It's all here for you! For a getaway that feels secluded but is still near great restaurants, entertainment and outdoor activities, look no further than our cabin. Our goal is to make your trip as special and comfortable as possible with warm hospitality and amazing amenities. Convenient to everything with family attractions, stores, specialty craft shops and plenty of restaurants. The cabin brings you the ultimate in selection and quality for every vacationer wishing to discover the magic of the Appalachian Mountains."
We spent most of the week simply relaxing and enjoying the slow pace of mountain living. From the window of the cabin, we watched new days being born and the frost on the leaves of the forest floor sparkle from the day's first rays of sun. The sun provided light and warmth in the cabin and was a simple gift we did not take for granted.
We too witnessed from the cabin windows, the long shadows of the trees slowly shrinking as the sun retreated behind the far mountain's ridge as the chilled air rushed in signifying darkness was near.
In the long days afield, we observed nature not as a spectator looking on, but as a participant in the natural world. Perched high on a knoll and camouflaged by the understory of an old growth forest, we saw first-hand the interaction of the natural world and its inhabitants who call the woodlands their home. We were granted a front row seat to the show and with heightened awareness to our surroundings, we heard and smelled the grandeur that only the mountains of West Virginia can provide.
Crows called, chipmunks scurried, squirrels barked, turkeys scratched and deer browsed within sight of our little cabin. The animals of the forest were entertainment and we thoroughly enjoyed the long days we spent in their world.
The true reason for my few days off from the responsibilities of work and life was to hunt whitetail deer on my hillside farm. It was the first week of the West Virginia buck gun season and a season that has filled my Thanksgiving week since I was a young. Although I have participated in the traditional hunt for well over 30 years, this week's hunt was different. Perhaps because I am older or maybe the fact that my son is of age to appreciate nature and its bounty, the time spent in the cabin was simply a new and wonderful experience. It was time well-spent helping to unlock the magic and mysteries of the natural world through the eyes of a new hunter and one I hope becomes a new chapter in the tradition.
The fact is the cabin was just a simple hunting blind in the woods. Regardless, the memories were large enough to fill any cabin described in the lofty text of a brochure for a faraway vacation destination and as grand as any mini-vacation before. For that, I am truly thankful.

The Red Cedar Message Board reaction is enough to snap your neck, like a Tom Gholston personal foul.
The first reaction was to deny the story as a fabrication by MGoBlog. Dantonio would not have done such a thing. Followed by confirmation of the story from multiple sources, then publication on MLive.com and then... The new spin, which is that of course it is what Dantonio should have done -- give it right back to Hecklinski, who was clearly out of line and who provoked the whole thing.

The Chronicle
Pella — A new $6 million sports park, featuring softball, baseball and utility fields is scheduled to begin construction on the east side of Pella in 2013.
The Pella City Council approved a resolution at its most recent regular meeting to enter into a partnership with Fields For Our Future, Inc., (FFOF) a non-profit entity formed specifically for the purpose of the creation of this park. FFOF has already received commitments from the Vermeer Charitable Foundation, Pella Rolscreen Foundation and the Peter H. and E. Lucille Gaass Kuyper Foundation. Through these donations, FFOF will contribute $3.5 million to the project.
The City of Pella's contribution will be $2.5 million, paid with Local Option Sales and Services Tax (LOSST) revenue. City Administrator Mike Nardini said the construction of the sports park was included as one of the stated uses for LOSST revenue. Residents overwhelmingly approved (85 percent of the vote) the renewal of the LOSST last year, through 2023.
The park will be located on 105 acres of land on the east side of town, north of Old Highway 163, north of the Skyline Ready Mix plant. Land acquisition is expected for later this year.
The park, modeled after the Lacy Sports Complex in Oskaloosa, will be City owned, operated and maintained. Nardini said he is working on future financial plans for the City, to include a $100,000-125,000 annual operation subsidy for the park.
There are 4-5 Little League fields planned in the first phase of the park, and possibly a Babe Ruth League field. In the long term, Nardini says plans include a number of fields, such as utility fields for soccer, flag football, youth tackle football, etc.
Rolscreen has pledged $275,000 in 2012 for the project, and $360,000 annually through 2016. Kuyper has pledged $40,000 annually from 2012-16, and Vermeer pledged $250,000, which began in 2010, through 2015.
"This project would not be possible without significant private donations," Nardini said. He wanted to thank everyone for their support.
Other features for the park include a utility building, bleachers, a children's playground, concession stand, batting cages, shelters, parking and paved sidewalks. The land for the park is currently under contract, but not yet owned by the City. The park is tentatively scheduled to open in the spring of 2014.

"Now, baby we can do it.
Take the time, do it right.
We can do it, baby.
Do it tonight."
— The S.O.S. Band
Taking money over time is a tenet of my faith. I believe in God, the Cincinnati Reds and not taking money in a lump sum.
I've spent more than 30 years in the structured settlement business, encouraging people to take payments over time. Watching thousands of people blow through lump sum payments made me a true believer in the power of lifetime income.
As I note in my new bestseller, "Life Lessons from the Lottery: Protecting Your Money in a Scary World," 98 percent of lottery winners ignore my advice. Thus, it is no surprise that most of them blow the money in five years or less.
The same statistics hold true for people getting money from an injury settlement, inheritance or retirement. It doesn't make a difference if it is a $10,000 lump sum or a $10 million lump sum. People blow through the money.
It makes sense when you think about it. People are used to having money come in every month.
Thus, managing a lump sum is a completely foreign skill. As survey after survey shows, most people don't do well.
One of my first clients was a young man who lost his arms and legs in an accident and lived with a motorcycle gang. He received roughly $3 million. If he and the motorcycle gang had gotten their hands on $3 million dollars, they would have had the party to end all parties until the money was gone.
I set him up so that he received $10,000 a month.
Thus, they had a party every month up until he died many years later.
I realized the psychology was like dieting. I struggle with my weight and used to start a diet about once a month. If I start, but have all my favorite foods in the refrigerator, I will fall off the diet immediately. If I have to drive to the store about two miles away, I think about it more and sometimes won't go. If I have to drive 25 miles to get fatty foods, I am far more likely to stick to the diet.
The financial analogy is that having all your money in a savings or checking account is like having food in the refrigerator. Putting money in a mutual fund or certificate of deposit, where it takes some effort (and sometimes penalties and tax consequences) to cash it in, is similar to driving to the store two miles away. A structured settlement is like the 25-mile drive for food. You have to do a lot of work to sell it and take a huge financial hit when you do.
An immediate annuity pays income for a person's life, just like a defined benefit pension plan. Although people seem to like lifetime income from a retirement plan, a Smart Money article stated what I long suspected: Few people buy them on their own.
I never understood why until I read an article called "The Annuity Puzzle" in a June 2011 edition of the New York Times.
Dr. Richard Thaler, a professor of economics and behavioral science at the University of Chicago, discussed how purchasing an immediate annuity with 401k retirement money, with fixed and guaranteed benefits, was a simple and less risky option than self-managing a portfolio or having the people on Wall Street do it for you.
He also noted that not enough people buy annuities.
Thaler suggested that people seemed to consider an annuity a "gamble" that they would live to an old age instead of realizing that "the decision to self-manage your retirement wealth is the risky one."
As people live longer than previous generations, they are more likely to run out of money before they run out of time on the earth.
The biggest objection that I see to annuities is that people are afraid to tie up their money. Thaler confirmed what I had long suspected. People are much better off restricting access to their money than having full access.
An annuity is just one tool, just like balancing your money among a number of different investments, but the key to wealth is to develop good savings and spending habits.
We have established that I am passionate about lifetime annuities.
People receiving a lump sum should be passionate as well.

Mid Devon motorists urged to join hundreds who have already signed up to car share scheme
7:00am Friday 25th January 2013 in Devon By Mid Devon Star Reporter
COMMUTERS in Mid Devon are being encouraged to share transport and save cash under a new initiative.
Devon County Council is championing the Car Share Devon website, which already has hundreds of registered members.
Under the scheme, commuters who regularly take the same route are able to arrange lift shares, meaning people can take turns driving to work.
Highways chief Councillor Stuart Hughes said: "Record prices at the pumps are really hitting drivers hard so it's important we encourage people to consider car sharing.
"It could help save you hundreds of pounds and make your commute more enjoyable.
"You'll be doing your bit for the environment and saving yourself the stress of having to drive every day."
As an incentive to join the scheme, anyone signing up before February 28 will be entered into a prize draw to win a tank of fuel.
The carsharedevon website features a simple calculator to work out your potential savings by entering your travel details such as mileage and how often you drive.
For more information go to www.carsharedevon.com.

June7, 2012 — In the Wednesday, June 6 edition of the Journal-Times, an article appeared on Page C-2 about donations from Walmart to Meals on Wheels. The headline indicated that Meals on Wheels received $5,000,000 from the corporation. That number, though accurate, was an indication of all donations to all Meals on Wheels programs. Locally, the Grayson Meals on Wheels group received $16,019.

As I've mentioned in a previous blogs, men only have 2 contraceptive options—male condom and vasectomy—and neither are long-acting reversible contraceptives. If more male contraceptives were developed, would men use them? Some empirical research shows many men would, especially young, urban, and educated men. Yet, skeptics say men don't value pregnancy prevention to the same degree that women do so they won't be motivated to use male contraception. Another common reason given for why men wouldn't use male contraceptives is the fear that these contraceptives will emasculate them. Here I will discuss three social beliefs that contribute to this fear.
First, many men believe that testosterone is a crucial factor in what makes them men. Though certain levels of testosterone in the body do result in what are usually classified as masculine characteristics, such as more body hair, more muscle tone, deeper voice, aggressive behavior, and stronger sex drive, the category 'men' is not just a biological one, it is also a social one. There are many cultural beliefs about what it means to belong to the category 'men,' one of which is that men have an uncontrollable libido. Most men want and feel pressured to adhere to these dominant conceptions of masculinity so that they are considered "real" men.

Revisiting the Science of Disney Imagineering
After its stellar debut in 2008, the second annual World Science Festival in New York City is slowly coming upon us. While the schedule isn't expected to be published until April, here's a formal request for some pixie dust in that Disney will once again be a participant. An introduction to the educational DVD series under the same name, the Science of Disney Imagineering introduces school-aged children to science as employed by Disney's imagineers in the theme parks and featured presentations by actual imagineers and prominent cast members. Below is a very abbreviated video from one of the World Science Festival presentations featuring Scott Trowbridge, Ric Turner, Asa Kalama, Dr. Ben Schwegler, Amber Samdahl, Dr. Anne Savage and special guest stars Crush and Lucky.

I'm sorry, what year did you say you were from?
Here's my dose of Saturday Synergy. I'm playing catch-up on this past week's television and finally muddling through the soon-to-be-over Life on Mars. In this episode, All the Young Dudes, Sam makes a promise to 'make it up' to Annie when he gets back to 2008 (or 2009) from 1973. He's got a laundry list of hip and current buzz-word laden things to do for her: take her to Nobu for sushi; fill up her ipod with the Justin Timberlake library; and even take her to EPCOT Center to ride Spaceship Earth. EPCOT Center? What you talkin' bout, Sam Tyler?

2014 Chevy Silverado Review Vehicle
Just chatted with the folks at GM and they said that they're going to try to get me into the new 2014 Silverado for a review, hopefully in the next few weeks. Once I get it and start to do a review I hope to try to get everyone together in the DFW area somewhere and maybe I'll buy everyone breakfast or lunch or something on some Saturday.
I'll let everyone know when I know more. I've been around the new Silverado, and have sat it in, but being able to drive it will be pretty cool.

Which Mitch will show up in Adelaide?
Can Mitchell Johnson reproduce his great performance in Brisbane for the second Test in Adelaide? Jesse Hogan and Greg Baum preview the Ashes clash at the redeveloped Adelaide Oval.PT4M52S http://www.smh.com.au/action/externalEmbeddedPlayer?id=d-2ynzb 620 349 December 3, 2013

As Australia put an end to the selectorial funkiness of the past year by naming an unchanged team for the Adelaide Test, captain Michael Clarke said the thumping start to the Ashes in Brisbane was only a baby step towards a much loftier goal.
The selectors backed the triumphant XI from the Gabba to extend Australia's Ashes lead, a stability not enjoyed since the corresponding Test against South Africa last December.
Then, Australia fell short of toppling the world's No.1 team in Adelaide, and was forced to replace the entire pace attack for the next game at the WACA Ground, ushering in a year of mad chopping and changing.

Seventeen players were used during the previous Ashes in England and not one of them batted in the same position for the entire series.
But with the cushion of a 1-0 series lead, the selectors resisted the urge to enlist compelling all-rounder James Faulkner to share the load on a hard, flat Adelaide Oval pitch.
They backed Ryan Harris' body and trusted George Bailey to build on his second innings score of 34 in which he whacked Graeme Swann and Joe Root for sixes.
Despite the gains made in Brisbane, Clarke said Australia's 2013 record was nothing to be proud of and the team, currently ranked No.5 in the world, was a long way from its ultimate goal.
''We have no reason to brag or gloat or be over the top,'' said Clarke, who has shrugged off an ankle injury.
''We have got a lot of work to do in trying to become a better team, and winning one Test match doesn't do that. I can guarantee you, every single player in that team, their feet are well and truly on the ground. Our celebration after Brisbane wasn't anything like I have seen Australian teams celebrate when we have had big wins like that and that is because everybody knows we're a long way from being the team we want to be.
''We have to be at our best over long periods of time to get back to where we want to be, the No.1 Test team in the world.''
Australia's long-awaited stability also conveys faith in Shane Watson to share the bowling load.
''I think they looked at the wicket and thought about the extra bowling option with James Faulkner in the team but obviously having 'Watto' there, who is back to 100 per cent and capable of bowling in both innings, is a real positive,'' Clarke said. ''On good, flat wickets like this one his bowling is going to be really handy for not just taking wickets but also building pressure.''
Since resigning as a selector in June, Clarke has not missed a chance to say how much he enjoys not having to pick the team. But he clearly has no qualms about picking England's, predicting the touring selectors would baulk at selecting second spinner Monty Panesar and go for safety first in sturdy seamer Tim Bresnan.
The Australians also expected Zimbabwe-born batsman Gary Ballance to make his debut at No.6 and Root to bat at three.
Ballance, brought up on a tobacco farm near Harare, has lived in England since he was 16 and is known for his composure against fast bowling.
He'll need it against the ferocious Mitchell Johnson and the relentless Harris and Peter Siddle.
England captain Alastair Cook described two spinners as a ''realistic option''; the Swann/Panesar combination was critical in overcoming a 1-0 series deficit to win a series in India. Either way, Clarke expects the Adelaide wicket to deliver a result as it has done in 18 of the past 22 Tests played there.
''Obviously you need to take 20 wickets to win a Test match but if there is any two attacks that are going to be able to find a way, it's these two,'' he said.

Turning Vacant Spaces into Vibrant Places
Founded in 2010, the Center for Community Progress is the only national 501(c)3 nonprofit organization solely dedicated to building a future in which entrenched, systemic blight no longer exists in American communities. The mission of Community Progress is to ensure that communities have the vision, knowledge, and systems to transform blighted, vacant, and other problem properties into assets supporting neighborhood vitality.
As a national leader on solutions for blight and vacancy, Community Progress serves as the leading resource for local, state and federal policies and best practices that address the full cycle of property revitalization, from blight prevention, through the acquisition and maintenance of problem properties, to their productive reuse. Community Progress provides technical assistance to communities nationwide, hosts the national Reclaiming Vacant Properties Conference, and offers numerous other resources and services to help communities transform blighted properties into community assets. Major support for Community Progress is generously provided by the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation and the Ford Foundation.

HOOVER, Ala. - Jadeveon Clowney is probably the only player in college football who can get away with saying what he did at SEC media days.
The star defensive end for South Carolina, and presumed No. 1 pick in the next NFL draft, was near the end of his interview session on Tuesday, when the subject of scared quarterbacks came up. Rather than just laugh off the subject, Clowney volunteered that three quarterbacks, to his knowledge, were scared of him.
"Aaron Murray is one of them, Clowney said.
Clowney went on to add Clemson's Tajh Boyd and Arkansas' Tyler Wilson.
Murray will get a chance to respond on Thursday, when Georgia makes its turn. Murray and Clowney have become well acquainted the last two years: Clowney's sack and forced fumble of Murray sealed Georgia's defeat in 2011, and a year later Clowney made Murray's life generally miserable in a Gamecock rout.
You can look at a guy and tell if hes scared," Clowney said. "If hes staring at me before the ball is snapped, if hes staring at me before every snap, Im just like: Oh, we got him. I told (my teammates): Hes shook. Weve just gotta get a couple hits on him (and) hell turn the ball over. Throwing before he wants to, sliding.
Clowney was in a very candid mood. At another point, he was asked which teams would be South Carolina's main competition in the SEC East. Georgia and Florida, he answered. An alert reporter, sensing the honest mood, asked which one was the main competition.
Probably Florida," Clowney said. "I aint downing Georgia, because I dont know who they got. I just know they graduate a lot of guys off their defense. Thats why I said that. I dont know who Floridas got coming back or left. I just know that Georgia (lost) like nine defensive starters. So theyve gotta put people in those spots, so itll be tough for them.
Georgia hosts South Carolina on Sept. 7.

Whiffle ball led off my failed experiment at playing baseball. We owned two thin yellow whiffle ball bats and two big fat red bats. We hacked away with the yellow bats and eventually, after spinning around on strikeout after strikeout, someone would stomp into the garage and grab Big Red. It was the only way we could get a hit.
This was country ball. There were never many of us, so pitcher's hand rules went into effect. Bases were usually leaves, sticks, or scratched out portions of
Baseball returns, and the internet trembles.
The devout among us spend our days filling our brains with bucketfuls of thoughts. When presented with a keyboard, we pour these thoughts into various molds and send them out into the world.
We find others who agree with our world views and we build ideas about why the ball moves the way it does. We create grids. We build structure. We invent games to prove we understand baseball better than baseball does.

Bummed Darin Mastroianni got sent to minor league camp. My unpleasant mood has nothing to do with strategy or intellect. I am bummed because my friends who got autographs from him said he was a great guy. Mostly, I am bummed because I liked to pretend he was secretly a stubbly private investigator in a lesser known horror film directed by Dario Argento.
Baseball, appreciated from the keen and reasoned eye of a scientific scholar, moves like a beautiful piece of clockwork machinery.

Got the Sano news via phone notification as I got out of bed, and the grayness hung in the air like it saw this one coming.
Flesh fails us all, but it is not supposed to crap out on a young physical wonder standing in the wings, moments away from his MLB debut. In January, Sano drew long lines of fans at Twinsfest. Now he begins
Twinsfest ended today, and the weather report strongly suggests the rest of the world might end tomorrow. The temperature is already dropping to numbers that make you whistle, whether you want to or not. A path to the street from my house, clear in the early afternoon, is now a ragged trickle of cement overwhelmed by snowy cliffs.
The Twins annual call to arms was cozy, busy, but still ordered. Fans brushed past each other, and the occasional
Just bought my 2014 Twins Daily Offseason Handbook, and I started thinking my baseball thriller The Hoosecows, written with Roy C. Booth, is a prospect to watch in its own right.
If you're a Twins fan, the joy of watching prospects mature is going to be a big part of your 2014 experience. Sano, Buxton, Meyer . . . What could be more exciting than supporting a future superstar before they slip into a big league uniform?
Now, I'd like to offer you a chance to dial into another
Headaches, Old and New (Twins 5 Indians 6 - Game 159)
A busy day ended with a headache and an early trip to bed, like I was a starting pitcher getting the hook.
It occurred to me, annoyed by pain as I was, that I might be lucking out. After all, I had a reason not to pay attention to baseball.
Grinding out the last few months of recaps has reminded me baseball really only has a few stories. The dominating conquerors. The wily Cinderellas. The damned losers.
Look Upon Mauer and Tremble (Twins 4 Tigers 3-- Game 156)
Mauer's out for the season, like we all knew he would be. Concussion City gains a new resident. And this Pinto kid seems like he's ready to play some catcher. People wonder if Mauer can come back to put on the tools of ignorance. People wonder if Mauer can come back at all.
The M and M boys are gone, leaving Target Field empty like a Halloween candy bowl. Mauer seems likely to be back in some way, shape, or form.
Memory Lane Trips (Twins 6 As 8 -- Game 152)
In 2006, I watched Boof Bonser take the mound against the Oakland As. I was close to Torii Hunter when he tripped up and misplayed a ball. I watched a good season end.
Now the As are looking pretty good and the Twins are collapsing their way to 90+ losses. Again. Third time in a row.
Nighttime is getting dark, and these games are just little tombstones in a season so forgettable you couldn't describe it by mentioning
Cool Breeze, Eyes Closed (Twins 1 White Sox 12 - Game 149)
After getting our house Halloween ready the night before, I came home to a perfectly decorated house. The smell of fall blew through the windows and hung in the air.
It covered the stench of what Liam Hendriks was doing on the mound in Chicago. The Great Dane agreed with me.
If anyone's excited to see the Twins lose, it's Stella the Great Dane. She was traumatized when I jumped up and stomped around
Voorhees: A True Dynasty (Twins 0 Rays 3-- Game 146)
On this Friday the 13th, I regret choosing Friday the 13th Part VIII - Jason Takes Manhattan as the film I watched. Jason Voorhees may be unkillable, but this lame hodge-podge of maritime hijinks and flimsy backstories sure signaled a sign this franchise had seen better days.
The Twins, another franchise that's seen better days, got blanked. If I had cable, I'd have been just as bored watching them as I was watching a
Swarzak Attack (Twins 4 As 3 - Game 143)
You'd have a tough time coming up with a cooler success story for the Twins than the tale of Anthony Swarzak. Dude got injured rough-housing at Twins Fest and put himself out of commission for while. It seemed like one more reason to end up in Gardy's dog house, and an embarrassing way to escort yourself off of a major league roster.
Now it's September, and he's a success story. Maybe we should all start believing in the existence
A Pop-In (Twins 6 Angels 3 - Game 142)
Make-up games fit perfectly into Minnesotan living. If we're not winterizing something we're complaining about the electric bill from running the AC. We're always paying down the interest on past due weather expenses, so our baseball team might as well, too.
Amidst summer's last hissy fit, the Twins came to play. They won 6-3 and kept Glen Perkins' status as The Last Twin With Something To Smile About intact.
Pinto seems
The Mob Has Tweeted (Twins 5 Blue Jays 6 - Game 139)
This game paired up two pitchers I knew, in my gut, were going to become amazing. R.A. Dickey rose to the challenge. Mike Pelfrey must not have gotten that memo.
When your favorite team will only win prizes for participation, the only excitement left comes in sifting through the wreckage to find future stars.
We all know how this game works, even if we pretty it up with BS from time to time. You pick a player

WHO: Florence Welch
WHAT: Arriving at LAX earlier this year.
WEAR: Leopard-print coat; printed t-shirt, black skinny jeans; black flats.
WHY: Casual separates, like a t-shirt and jeans, always make for comfortable plane attire, but we recommend following in Welch's footsteps and incorporating a statement-making jacket into the mix for a warm and luxurious finish. To achieve a similar look, start by picking up Wildfox's Love is Everything Tee ($77) and Diesel's Skinny Straight Jeans ($130). Next, try Alice + Olivia's Leopard Print Trench Coat ($347), which will work well if you're headed to colder climates, or check out MinkPink's Leopard Cover Cardi ($88) if you're in the market for something lighter.
WHO: Melanie Laurent
WHAT: Spotted at Nice Cote d'Azur Airport in France late last month.
WEAR: Maje Leather Jacket ($561) and trousers; Zadig & Voltaire scarf; vintage hat; Christian Dior sunglasses; black patent leather peep-toe heels.
WHY: Lightweight layers are key when constructing the perfect en route ensemble for the summer season, as Laurent show us. Scarves and small jackets can easily be added or removed to adjust to changing climate, while topping everything off with a hat is a wise idea if you want to hide unpolished hair. If you're on the hunt for these travel essentials, don't miss Old Navy's Linen Moto Jacket ($30) or ModCloth's A New Leaf on Life Scarf ($18); both have neutral tones, so they will work well with a number of outfits. Finally, grab Bop Basics' Panama Short Brim Fedora ($98) to give your overall look a bit of zing!
WHO: Alexa Chung
WHAT: Photographed arriving at London's Heathrow Airport two months ago.
WEAR: Vintage t-shirt; Moto Pink Jamie Pants ($80); Chanel bag; vintage sunglasses; Russell and Bromley shoes.
WHY: It's generally a good idea to keep your accessories minimal and fuss-free when building your travel outfit, especially if you need to rush from one gate to the next. As Chung demonstrated, a petite across-body bag is the perfect hands-free carrier, especially if you have loads of luggage! If you fancy Chung's on-the-go ensemble, don't hesitate to pick up American Apparel's Vintage Twin Cities Ford Threadbare T-Shirt ($30) and her exact Moto pants. As for the bag, we're quite smitten with Calvin Klein's Madison Leather Crossbody Bag ($138) and Marc by Marc Jacobs' Totally Turnlock Percy Crossbody Bag ($198).
WHO: Eva Mendes
WHAT: Arriving at LAX three months ago.
WEAR: Brown lace cardigan; Louis Vuitton Alize Stole ($820, 866.VUITTON); light-wash jeans; Versace Abbey Shopper Bag ($2275, 888.721.7219) from the S/S 11 collection; Frye Sabrina Boots ($298) in Burnt Red
WHY: When it comes to travel footwear, flat leather boots are an excellent alternative to sandals or heels, plus, they instantly give a laidback outfit a polished finish. And while we certainly love Mendes' exact Frye boots, we're also fans of Steve Madden's Frencchh Leather Boots ($150) and Timberland Earthkeeper's Cabot 2.0 Boots ($200), so be sure to snag a pair before your next big trip!
WHO: Natalia Vodianova
WHAT: Snapped arriving at Nice Cote d'Azur Airport in France early last month.
WEAR: Tan tweed blazer; light blue button-down shirt with white collar; cropped skinny jeans; Louis Vuitton SC Bag ($4350, 866.VUITTON) in Blanc; snakeskin loafers.
WHY: While Vodianova's button-down shirt and cropped skinnies make for an ultra-chic combo, her ladylike tweed jacket and snakeskin flats give the overall ensemble a sophisticated and of-the-moment look. To recreate Vodianova's A+ off-duty mix, be sure to grab a button-down shirt, like Vintage Havana's Collared Button Down Shirt ($60) and a slim pair of cropped denim; Citizens of Humanity's Cropped Thompson Skinny Jeans ($198) will definitely fit the bill! To give your outfit that extra bit of Vodianova panache, add Boden's Rainbow Tweed Jacket ($248) and Stuart Weitzman's Snake-Embossed Loafers ($325), and you'll be ready to hit the town upon arrival!
WHO: Dakota Fanning
WHAT: At LAX late last month.
WEAR: Textile Elizabeth and James Fairfax Tee ($75) and James Distressed Linen Blazer ($395); distressed boyfriend jeans; Proenza Schouler PS1 Large Leather Satchel ($1995); Celine wooden platform heels from the S/S 10 collection.
WHY: Styling a pair of slouchy, cropped jeans with a lightweight blazer and platforms is a sure way to keep your travel attire feeling relaxed, but looking stylish. To execute a similarly savvy ensemble, try Joe's Jeans' Rolled Best Friend Jeans ($163) in Patricia with Topshop's Pale Peach Co-Ordinating Linen Blazer ($120). Just remember to pair both of those finds with either Tory Burch's Tatum Wedges Sandals ($295) or Nina's Sheona Sandals ($89) to further achieve your Fanning-inspired look.
WHO: Zoe Saldana
WHAT: Arriving at Nice Cote d'Azur Airport last month.
WEAR: Lanvin tweed jacket from the Pre-Fall 11 collection; striped top; light-wash skinny jeans; Lanvin bag; Mymu The Ceci 07 Wedges ($298).
WHY: Saldana's neutral mix is understated, yet visually interesting, thanks to the mix of materials and textures courtesy of her tweed jacket, linen wedges, and leather bag. To get similar essentials, grab Madewell's Josie Four Pocket Marled Cardigan ($83), Betsey Johnson's Vall Peep Toe Wedges ($90), and Olivia Hariss' Two-Tone Flap Satchel ($278), and you'll be ready to head to the airport in no time!--Jessica Baker

Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry13/06/2012
One of the Sundance Film Festival's official selection films that we are most excited about is Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry, the documentary directed by Alison Klayman gives us an unprecedented insight into one of the most intriguing and controversial artists of our time. Klayman captures Ai Weiwei's revolutionary strides to maintain human rights in his homeland and the backlash from the Chinese government. The film is set to be released in theaters from July 27th, shortly after the artist is scheduled to be released from his current government-imposed house arrest on June 22nd.

look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5
Wow how to handle this review, this beer truly came across like a pale ale from the 90s. Gold and mild orange appearance, small 3/4" head on it. Aroma was very mild hops. Nothing approaching usual Pizza port beers, or some of the uber hopped Zombie Dusts of the world.
Taste, again, fairly easy to put down, just seemed to be lacking the hop quotient that we've become used to drinking from Pizza Port. Plenty bitter, just lacked hop mouthfeel.
I guess its easy enough to say that this is a good pale ale, its just average though for Pizza Port, one of the best producers of pales in the world.

On tap at Churchill's in a snifter.
A: Transparent golden orange with a big soapy white head. Nice retention. Lacing is scattered. Really nice color and the head and lacing are impressive.
S: Orange flesh with a little grapefruit and some pine. Nice hop profile. Malt is faint and crackery.
T: Orange, grapefruit, grainy malt. Hops aren't vibrant like they were in the nose. Bitterness is low. No alcohol. Dry overall, with a little short-lived sweetness around midpalate.
M: Upper light in body with moderate carbonation. Mouthfeel is dry and smooth.
Overall: A pretty good pale ale.

look: 4 | smell: 3 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3 | overall: 3.5
A- solid golden and amber color with a white head that is pretty prominent in the pour.
S- Pine and cannabis, with a slight amount of malt in the background. All around pretty week on the aroma and nothing complex.
T- Very clean, a watery grapefruit, with hints of pine in it. I taste a lot of Horizon hops or something of a very bitter alpha acid
M- Although the beer is very clean, there is a very watery taste almost straw. Good a mount of carbonation.
D- This is prob a good session beer, not the best pale pizza port has produced, and it could def use some more work, and a bit more complexity.

look: 3.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4
On tap in a pint glass, this beer pours a rather light golden straw in color with a half inch of head. Retention and lacing are good.
Smell is of light malts and some c-hops. Taste follows suit. Very nice balance of hops and malts, not too sweet in flavor as evidenced by the light color of the pour. Offers a nice flavor and is a bit dry in the finish. Overall a very drinkable pale that entices but does not overwhelm. Nice to see a local brew that's light in residual malts and has a smooth easy drinking flavor. Will have again.

Pretty good beer
I thought it was a lot like the IPA, just a little less character. Poured nice tan/amber, nose was floral and hoppy. and the taste was solid and balanced, It was plenty hoppy for a regular old Pale ale true with the style of the other beers I've sampled from pizza port. I liked it as an easy to drink beer.

A wonderful example of a fresh American Pale Ale.
Chill hazed golden orange with a half finger white head that remains very sticky though out the drink.
Fresh fruit hops aroma...pears, peach, green apple...ever so faint, but fresh fruit aromas none the less with pear predominating.
Lightly sweet pale malt surrenders quickly to citrus peel hops....both grapefruit peel and orange...the hops come across as very fresh and clean.
Aftertaste is bitter, drying, non-descript. citrus peel.
Mouthfeel is tingly from ample tiny carbonation and a nice crisp hop bite.

TRIPOLI, Libya — Residents in the Libyan capital say the embattled regime of Moammar Gadhafi is arming civilian supporters to set up checkpoints and quash dissent.
A popular uprising throughout the country has posed the biggest challenge Gadhafi has faced in his 42-year rule. He has maintained control in the capital by using violence on protesters, though rebels have seized control of about half of Libya's coastline.
Pro-Gadhafi forces opened fire Friday on demonstrations after Muslims prayers, and Gadhafi told supporters he would "open the arms depot so all Libyans and tribes become armed."
Residents contacted by phone from Cairo on Saturday reported trucks of pro-regime civilians patrolling the streets. They spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of retribution.

INDIANAPOLIS – It's that time of year. With Halloween's approach, ghost stories are derigueur. What better place to enjoy them than in a Victorian mansion after dark? The former residence of Benjamin Harrison, 23rd president of the United States, from 1889 to 1893, makes the perfect spot to take in a little history with your seasonal ghost tales.
Candlelight Theatre is bringing its very special brand of theater to the Benjamin Harrison Presidential Site in Indianapolis with its production of "Spirits of Blue and Gray." The haunting experience takes place the evenings of Friday and Saturday, Oct. 11 and 12, 18 and 19, with afternoon performances on Sunday Oct. 20. Performances begin every half-hour and last approximately 90 minutes as audiences move through the Harrison home. The Candlelight Theatre at the Benjamin Harrison Presidential Site offers an intimate venue in a historical setting.
The unique theater experience will take the audience throughout all three floors of the Harrison home as they travel from room to room. Along the way they will hear the stories of the ghosts of people who lived – and died – during the Civil War. A psychic will guide the audience on its journey through the mansion and help to connect with the phantasms. Tales of espionage, bravery, deception and love are told straight from the spirits' mouths in these tales written and directed by James Troffater.
As guests progress through the home, well-known figures like Harriet Tubman and Mary Todd Lincoln may be encountered, as well as other soldiers and civilians serving the North and South during the Civil War.
Shorter vignettes will be viewed standing; seating is provided for longer scenes.

The David J. Mongielo sign saga will go on for another month.
Town Justice Raymond E. Schilling found the owner of Mongielo's Auto Specialties on Robinson Road guilty of violating a town ordinance, but sentencing was delayed until April.
Mongielo's attorney, Frank Housh, argued he needed time to study the transcripts of July, 2010 conviction and Dec. 2011 conviction.
"There's so much wrong, I don't know where to begin," Housh said. "There is so much procedurally and morally wrong."
Prosecutor Bradley Marble countered that the case had gone on long enough. "We're asking for a sentence tonight. There's no need to waste the court's time," he said.
The defense attorney and prosecutor sparred a bit before Schilling ruled "We can wait a little bit longer" and granted a little more time.
Housh, who was hired by Mongielo in late December, made the point that he needed time to study the transcripts. "It's clearly double jeopardy," he said. "The court's explanation made it clear it's double jeopardy."
There was a delay in getting the papers transcribed, according to Schilling.
Mongielo's charge was for violating Lockport's sign ordinance, which says any sign capable of changing its format or message may not change any more than once every 10 minutes.
"It's a simple law he has to follow," Marble said.
According to that law, Housh said, even clocks would be illegal.
Mongielo feels that the charges against him are politically motivated and pointed to other signs in the town that could also be in violation.
"An individual who has political differences with my client, who was also vested with the authority to charge the town ordinances, was sitting outside my client's business and made the determination that the lights were flashing in a way that was inappropriate again." the lawyer said.
As to not hiring a lawyer early in the dispute, Housh said that Mongielo did not realize he could be incarcerated.
"My client made a waiver of counsel. Whenever any defendant makes a waiver of counsel, especially in a circumstance where his liberty is at risk, it's incumbent to make certain that that is an intelligent and knowing waiver," Housh said.
"I never broke the rules," Mongielo insisted and told his history of the sign dispute. "I was helping a friend."
He was cited on three different occasions and has paid fines.

Washington Free Beacon Super Squicked Out By Stinky Girls
This morning, Obama campaign spokeswoman Jen Psaki was on MSNBC (obviously, what with all the socialisms). Remarking how busy the campaign was, she said that she'd just gotten off the campaign and been able to shower for the first time in two days. …Wait for it…wait for it… The Washington Free Beacon decided to go […]
