Get pub-style smoked wings at home with this delicious recipe by Cindy Wheatley of Boneheads BBQ.
BBQ, Chicken, Picnics, Party Favourites
½ cup sea salt
½ cup lightly packed brown sugar
½ cup white sugar
¼ cup chili powder
¼ cup paprika
¼ cup fresh ground black pepper
¼ cup cumin
⅛ cup garlic powder
⅛ cup onion powder
⅛ cup cayenneChipotle Ranch Dressing
½ cup mayonnaise
½ cup sour cream
⅓ cup buttermilk
1 tablespoon chipotle pepper paste
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepperSmoked Wings
Boneheads wing rub
Chipotle ranch dressing
4 pounds whole or split chicken wings
½ cup vegetable or olive oil
Wood of your choice for smoking (Bonehead's BBQ uses hickory)
1. Combine all ingredients.Chipotle Ranch Dressing
1. Place all ingredients in a bowl and whisk to combine.Smoked Wings
1. Preheat smoker (or grill if using the offset method) to 225 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Rinse chicken wings and pat dry.
3. Place the wings in a foil pan or on a cookie sheet and lightly coat chicken wings with vegetable oil. (This helps the rub stick and keep the wings moist).
4. Sprinkle wings generously with Boneheads Wing Rub, making sure to turn and coat the entire wing. (You can also use a large re-sealable bag to toss the wings, first in oil and then in rub)
5. Place wings, evenly spaced, directly on the rack in the smoker for approximately 1 hour or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
6. Check the wings and turn them halfway through and adjust positions if necessary to account for any "hot spots" within the smoker so the wings will cook evenly.
7. Use the Chipotle Ranch Dressing for dipping
8. Note: Smoking times can vary greatly depending on wing size, outdoor weather conditions, smoker temperature, etc., so the above times are just guidelines. If you are unsure, having a digital probe meat thermometer handy will help determine when your wings have reached a safe temperature and are done.

Serena upset is one for the outcasts
WIMBLEDON, England — There are times when tennis resembles nothing so much as a traveling high school. There is a sort of social filtration system that yields the popular crowd and the unpopular crowd, tribes of nerds and jocks and partiers and mean girls. Since enrolling almost a decade ago, Marion Bartoli has been, unmistakably, a WTA outcast.
She travels with her dad, a lapsed doctor from a small town in the French countryside who doubles as her coach and walks hunch-backed around events with a backpack on his shoulder. Bartoli paints and plays the piano and has the audacity to read books in public. She made a minor stir earlier this year when she announced that she had a genius IQ, the equivalent of bragging about your SAT scores. Her tennis is quirky and outre, too. Recalling Monica Seles, she hits with two hands off both sides. Her on-court rituals and mannerisms include taking practice swings when she returns serves — a tic that other players openly mock — and kangaroo hopping between her first and second serves. Without a clothing endorsement contract, last week at Wimbledon she played in a dress that resembled a hospital gown. During Saturday's third-round match, she elicited snickers and snarky blog posts when she ordered her father to leave the stands.
What too many accounts failed to mention: after shooing son père away, Bartoli won courageously, 9-7 in the third set.
Bartoli may be tennis' answer to Ally Sheedy putting sugar on her bread in The Breakfast Club. But like most high school classifications, "Bartoli as weirdo" is horribly crass. Yes, she is unconventional. Yes, she has no use for the glamour component of women's tennis. But she is also, a fearsome and fearless competitor who, despite a limited game, has quietly nestled in the top 10 for years.
Today she played Serena Williams on Court One. And while a fourth-round match pitting the seventh seed against the ninth seed would, ordinarily, be a toss-up, Serena was the overwhelming favorite. If the defending champion hadn't been her sharpest here in this, her first major in a year, she is still Serena Williams. She's strong and still fast and can still go "Serena Diesel," simply steamrolling opponents. And she still has an air that's good for a couple games a set.
Against most players, that is. Residing on the fringes also means that Bartoli is impervious to aura. Before the match a French journalist friend predicted the match would be close "because Marion doesn't get scared." True, that. With her father looking on, Bartoli scored the upset of the tournament today and perhaps the biggest match of her career. The score will say that she won, 6-3, 7-6. It was the first time in 20 matches either Serena or Venus ever lost in the fourth round. It was the earliest Serena has lost here since 2005.
But what made this significant was that Bartoli didn't merely win; she beat Serena. She had more aces. She dictated play. Hit just as hard off the ground. Bartoli pinned Serena behind the baseline and moved her around with laser-like groundstrokes. Afterwards, Serena, rightfully, wished that she had more preparation. But this wasn't about rust or a lack of match. It was about a WTA player finally staring down Serena and, in effect, saying: "I don't care who you are. I'm taking you down today."
Bartoli clearly had a strategy — hit deep and never go more than a few balls to the same side. When Serena served, Bartoli not only stood irreverently inside the baseline (what others would consider risking life and limb) but jogged in place and danced around. Questionable gamesmanship? Yes. Weird? No doubt. But after all the WTA passivity, also the players who have buckled under the weight of big moments, it was telling to watch someone send the message across the net that she wouldn't be intimidated.
Even on an off day and even without match play, Serena is still difficult to put away. Bartoli served for match at 6-3, 6-5 and squandered three match points. Plenty of matches have turned on less. No matter, Bartoli gathered herself in the tiebreaker, sustained her aggressive play and pounded out the win. "I dug deep into my guts," she says. "The way I handled the pressure was good."
When it was done, she rejoiced and looked up to Dr. Walter Bartoli, who had not been asked to leave this time. As the two players walked off the court, Bartoli went first, breaking with tradition that dictates the reigning champs walk off first and soak up applause. It was one last spasm of weirdness, one last indication that she won't be cowed by The Mighty Serena.
After today there were still be eight players in the women's draw. But if Bartoli can come anywhere close to matching both the shotmaking and defiant fearlessness she showed this afternoon, you have to consider her a real contender. Three more wins and then the outcast will be really be the Homecoming Queen.
• It tells you all you need to know about the current chaotic state of women's tennis. When the ninth seed (Bartoli) beat the seventh seed (Serena) on Court One it created great buzz. Meanwhile the top seed, Denmark's Caroline Wozniacki, was banished to lowly Court Two, and scarcely anyone noticed. And, as fate would have it, Wozniacki was defeated by Dominika Cibulkova of Slovakia 7-5 in the third set. This, of course, will amplify calls that Wozniacki's top ranking is counterfeit, that her failure to win a major reflects poorly on the women's tennis ranking system. Let's save that discussion for another day, though, and give credit to Cibulkova, a pocket rocket, who simply played with more urgency at 5-5. For all the talk about the WTA's height requirements, it's nice to know there's still room in the cast for a compactly built slugger who stands 5-3 and weighs 121 pounds. Cibulkova will be a clear underdog in the next round again former champion Maria Sharapova. Which, given how today has played out, means precisely nothing.
• While Serena was blown away by Bartoli, her big sister went meekly, falling to Bulgaria's Tsvetana Pironkova 6-2, 6-3. It was not only the second straight year Pironkova beat Venus at Wimbledon; last year's match was the same score. Venus was gracious in defeat, praising Pironkova liberally and simply suggesting that it had been a bad day at the office. But, realistically, one wonders where Venus goes from here. Wimbledon is her best event — the only major she has won in nearly a full decade. When, at age 31, she can't muster more than five games in the fourth round, you have to wonder if this remarkable story isn't, finally, wrapping up.

Cyclones put away Warriors in second half8:36 pm | February 2, 2013
With Happy Valley sinking pivotal shots on top of the homecoming jitters, Elizabethton's boys had their hands full in the first half of Friday's Three Rivers Conference showdown.
The second half was a world of difference for the home team. The Cyclones of late took hold of the Treadway Gymnasium floor and turned a three-point halftime lead into a 20-point, 69-49 victory over the rival Warriors.
"We started playing the way we have been playing in the third quarter," said Elizabethton coach Lucas Honeycutt. "We moved the basketball and got defensive pressure. For whatever reason we forgot to do that in the first half. It was nice to see them turn it around."
The win clinches second place in the conference and gives Elizabethton a bye in the upcoming District 1-AA tournament, but, more importantly, an automatic berth into the region.

Simply Thai's Middletown shop trails the original
The sun shimmers like a brass gong in the pale, washed-out desert sky. There's not so much as a breath of cooling breeze. I can see a big cactus, but it's not much good for shade. Thirsty. So thirsty. The sun beats down, baking, burning. And then my eyes pop open, doing the familiar where-am-I blink, and hey! I'm home! In bed! And I have never been so thirsty.
About four big glasses of cold water put that right, and soon I'm sinking back into a calmer sleep, thinking as I drift off, "I'll bet it was the pad Thai."
Or maybe the Nam Prik Ong lettuce wraps, or the Thai soups? Looking back on it as I tasted the leftovers from Simply Thai's Middletown branch the next day, I think there was a hefty dose of salt or soy sauce alongside the chile peppers in that happy endorphin-boosting burn.
I have long rated Simply Thai's St. Matthews operation among the city's best Thai eateries, and that opinion didn't change when I visited it again a few months ago. I've been delinquent about getting out to its year-old second venue in Middletown, though, so we finally ventured outside the Watterson the other night to check out its newer suburban branch.
Simply Thai No. 2 is located in a shopping-center space that, among other things, also housed the final incarnation of Mazzoni's and a short-lived Mexican spot. Its bright and inviting bar and dark wood tables feel comfortable in these digs, although they haven't painted over the Mexican-look decor, which creates a little cognitive dissonance.
The menu appears similar or identical at both venues, and the Thai fare at the Middletown branch isn't bad. But I have to come out and say it: Even if we let the salty-as-the-Sahara issue pass as a one-dish aberration, I can't rank this branch quite as highly as the home office in St. Matthews. A representative spread of dishes ranged downward from good-but-not-outstanding to "meh."
When a popular restaurant opens a second shop, I often wonder how the small-business entrepreneurs who found glory in a single kitchen will manage to split it into two venues. Are owner Mahn Saing and his Thai-chef wife Chaveewan Saing shuttling back and forth on U.S. 60 to put their magic touch on both places, or must they delegate? Still, I love Southeast Asian fare, and whether my top pick is Thai, Vietnamese, Cambodian or Filipino pretty much depends on where I ate last.
Saing's multi-page menu is subdivided by category, including appetizers, soups and salads (both of which may be meal-size in Thai cuisine), noodle or rice dishes, Thai curries, entrees (some of which seem to be Thai-American "fusion" creations), and, just to mix things up ethnically a bit, a page of sushi including maki rolls and nigiri bites.
There must be four dozen Thai dishes plus a page of sushi, and pricing tops out in the lower teens with plenty of main-course choices in the single digits. The full bar includes a short but affordable wine list, with most bottles under $30 and by-the-glass prices from $6.75 to $8.50, plus wine-pairing suggestions for Thai favorites, and a beer list with a few craft beers and local brews. Half-price happy hour lured us toward 22-ounce draft beers, a Japanese Kirin Ichiban and a Sam Adams ($6.25 each).
We covered the table with apps and a couple mains, ordering a range of heat levels from 1 to 4 on their 5-pepper scale, and made short work of nam prik ong (lettuce wraps, $6), a spicy mix of chopped pork or tofu with fine-diced cucumbers, onions and tomatoes with crisp iceberg lettuce leaves for wrapping.
Fresh spring rolls ($5), fat cylinders of shredded carrots, cucumber and rice noodles rolled in lettuce and translucent rice paper plus your pick of shrimp, chicken bits, tofu or grilled veggies, were carefully formed but on the bland side, really needing a dip in the accompanying sweet-hot peanut sauce to bring them around.
Tom Kha (chicken lemongrass coconut-milk soup scented with ginger-like galanghal, $5) didn't show us much in the flavor department, but a simple spicy beef salad ($9) gained from flavorful, thin-sliced beef and spicy lime dressing over standard salad fixins.
An order of sushi "small roll" (tuna sushi roll, $5.75) consisted of fresh simple rolls stuffed with rice and pale-pink bits of tuna.
Pad Thai ($9) was a fairly standard rendition, searing hot at a 4-pepper heat rating, and the apparent culprit in my dehydrated desert dreams. The flavors didn't pop, I couldn't find any peanuts or egg in it, and the textural combination of soft noodles and crisp bean sprouts that distinguishes great pad Thai was missing here.
Thai eggplant ($12) offered a good combo of fresh eggplant, carrot, broccoli, onion and mushroom flavors, but there was little variation in texture among the veggie slices swimming in spicy-salty broth.
The share of dinner for two came to just about $50, plus a $10 tip.

Verona >Storage > Calfo Red Line Transfer Inc
554 Jones St, Verona, PA | Directions 1514740.502863 -79.843457
Mon. - Sun. 24 Hours
I have moved with Calfo three times so far and every move has went great. I have a Baby grand piano that other movers have really struggled with in the passed. But when Calfo came they didn't have any problems at all. I couldn't believe how quick and easy it was for them. I first seen Calfo down at the Pittsburgh Ballet moving pianos for Modern Piano. They were having a piano show down there for the weekend. I witnessed the Calfo crew move at least 100 pianos that day. At the time I was moving within a few mouths so I called them up for an estimate. Ron Calfo came out the next day to look at are piano, and that's when he told us that he could just move the whole house. By doing that we saved a lot of money. Not only is Calfo the best Piano mover in Pittsburgh there the best house hold movers as well. Since my first move, Calfo Red Line has moved my parents, also two other close friends and everyone has nothing but great things to say about them. If you want the best crew for your move I wouldn't call anyone other than Calfo.
Great movers they are the best movers that I have ever used. I move a lot because of my work, and since I've used calfo red line I wont use anyone else. I have a 9ft baby grand piano that I perform with all the time all over the US and calfo takes it everywhere. I have never seen a company wrap a piano like they do, so that every place on the piano is blanked and safe. They were just as carful when they moved my apartment into my house. By far the best movers in Pittsburgh.
I obtained several moving quotes prior to selecting a vendor. Calfo Red Line Transfer was recommened to me by a friend, and they were by far the best price as well as the most reassuring quote. During the other two quotes I received, the salesmen made it a point to tell me all of the things they did not move and all the things the "I" had to do to prepare for the move. Ron Calfo (the owner of the company) not only came out and gave the quote personally, but made it a point to tell me everything "they" would do to make the move easier for me. Calfo's quote was roughly HALF of each of the other two quotes, so given that and the fact that they came recommended helped me to look past some of the negative online reviews I read. I had some reservation because you never know how things are going to go. Well, let me just say, I wasted my worrying. This moving experience was honestly about as good as it could have possibly been. It started with me asking to have the guys call me when they were on their way because I was not going to be staying at the house I was moving from. They had informed me in advance that they likely would arrive between 7-8am. They called me the day of promptly at about 7:15 to inform they were on their way and that they would be there about 8:00. They showed up exactly as planned. The weather forecast was less than optimal as they were calling for freezing rain, so I had some concerns as to how the move would go and how long it would take. Ron originally quoted me 1 truck and 4 guys for about 9 hours (the others were suggesting two trucks and 6 guys for about the same duration). When I had asked Ron about this (at the original quote), he said that given that we were only moving about 3 miles away, it would be more cost effective to use 1 truck even if they had to make a 2nd trip. The day of the move, a total of 6 guys showed up (including Ron). Ron said that he brought a couple of extra guys to finish quicker since the weather was supposed to get bad, but that it should even out price wise (additional guys cost an additional fee). I figured, well that's it, that's how they're going to get me. It is going to take the same amount of time with more guys. Here's where it all goes wrong. Wrong again! The guys hustled their tails off all day long. The only real "break" they took was for about 15 minutes for lunch to eat the pizzas I had delivered. The guys were polite, professional, and hard working. They did complete the move with 1 truck and ultimately 5 guys (1 had to go home sick) and did have to make a second trip and refill the truck 3/4 of the way full again and they STILL finished 2 hours AHEAD OF SCHEDULE!!! So, exactly as Ron said, even with the additional guys it evened out, right? Wrong. It was LESS!!!!!!! They ended up doing the move for $50 less than what they quoted!!! How often does that happen?? I gladly gave each of the guys a nice tip for the hard work that they displayed. I still came out significantly better than if I would've chosen a different moving company. In any event, I can't say enought good things about them. It just goes to show you that you can't judge a company by a couple of reviews. I wouldn't hesitate for second to recommend Calfo Red Line Transfer to anyone in need of movers.
I was quoted $700 for moving out on a Tuesday and moving into the new place on a Friday with an up front deposit. The Tuesday the young guys arrived and they were diligent and courteous and packed up and loaded my one bedroom in about 2 hours. They do not take as many precautions with the items as other moving companies in my experience such as covering large furniture with blankets to avoid nicks and scratches, covering mattresses, putting flat screens in tv boxes and taping down all drawers to prevent sliding. At the end of the loading I signed the receipt/contract showing with the hourly rate of $110, and the extra supplies a cost of $480 was applied to my deposit. I was given a copy of the contract which included an inventory of everything packed
When they arrived on Friday to unload they presented me with our receipt/contract of the move but this time it was covered in whiteout and various parts had been crossed out. I retained my original copy of our contract with our signatures which showed the original quote and charges. They seemed to have no problem altering a legal contract and did not acknowledge the unprofessional nature of this behavior. This new altered contract showed instead of the $220 surplus I had from Tuesday totaling $480 I had a $15 balance that I now owed, and the cost for Tuesday's move was actually $715. I now owed them $515 cash up front for them to unload my small bedroom worth of items.
When I called about this dramatic change of the cost of my move going from $700 to $1200 I was told they made a mistake and forgot to charge me for some additional expenses. They never called to tell me in advance about the error or even apologize. Instead they threatened to leave with all my possessions unless I paid them the additional $500 in advance. They actually did leave at one point but I called and begged them to return. Since they do not accept credit cards I quickly rushed to the grocery store to get them the cashiers checks. They unloaded my small apartment in 2 hours which included the time for me running to get the cashiers check while they waited, and them leaving and coming back. So it cost me $1200 for them to pack move and unload in about 3 and one half hours.
The sad thing is that they may have squeezed a few extra hundred dollars out of me for me to finish the move under duress but I have many young professional coworkers that are transient and, if I had a positive experience, would have been happy to recommend them like I have done for other moving companies. Stay away from Calfo Redline.
pretty good service, laidback but getting the job done – Nice people, older people knew how to pack the van real well. Please note they do NOT take credit cards (or if they do, must submit real early) and must use cash or certified check. They were off on packing on the same day, but my family and them worked on something to respect the workers as they were put in an unfair situation in my opinion.
" a moving experience" – 3 days before Christmas we were scheduled to move. This was the first time in 80 years that we used a transfer company as our children live out of State.
Calfo's owner and estimator quoted a price to pack and move @ $1742.41 and said it would take 11 hours.
The first guys to arrive denied any agreement to pack some of our remaining heavier items, which panicked me. The day of estimations I was told if the customer chose to pack their own boxes, those boxes would not be insured. (We did move about 30 boxes of cherished figurines and china ourselvespror to the moving date).
The owner was called and told his help to pack some of the unpacked "stuff". He did not tell me that he would charge $22.00 a picture or I would have car carried them mysef. Did I say that the move was less than 12 mis. in a rural area?
At the tenth hour of an 11 hour estimate, the owner called me into a back area of the house and said that because the job turned out to be more difficult than he expected, the cost of the move would now be $3265.02.!! And he wanted cash! Of course we did not carry that kind of money, aside from the original quote.
Mr. Calfo finally agreed to take a personal check and $ 140.00 in "tip" money that the guys were waiting for, aside from the $40.00 lunch provided.
My legal advisor said it would cost as much as the overcharge to put a claim in against this company. So I am choosing this format to call attention to the mis handling of a CONTRACT. ( Sure they could have asked for a few hundred more dollars from 2 old people--the "contract says they can do whatever they want). Having put our trust in this man's character, tho, we feel the doubling of the moving price at the 10th hour-because they were tired, has a nasty, haunting scent to it..
p.s. I assume that when a larger company sends an estimator out, the estimator is the one responsible for quoting errors and not the naive elderly.
Your reputation is everything Mr. Calfo, andI I am a bit sorry to tell my story publicly. You see, I am not a confrontist and am easily intimidated, so this avenue of response has been my only emotional outlet. The move was very hard on the both of us. Jackie
worst moving company in the Eastern United States – Moved over 30 times in my life and this move two years ago was the scariest, most unprofessional of all. They were six hours late and when trying to contact their office the female representative was rude, obnoxious, stupid and uninformed. Called back afte promise was made that the truck would show up shortly and this female retorted "would you like to cancel?" Agreement made was for 7am. They finally showed up a little after 1pm-no discount, no apology and they moved my wood furniture in 95 degree heat with no covers which led to sweat stains on furniture. They were teenage boys, hired I suppose for the summer. Never, never had I had a moving experience such as this and would strongly advise that you use whatever other carrier you can get.

Spirit Lake Nickname Supporters Start Petition Drive to Put Law Back in PlaceGRAND FORKS (WDAZ-TV) - Thursday marked the repeal of the state law the requires UND to keep The Fighting Sioux nickname and logo. Now, nickname backers have announced they will begin a petition drive to put that law back place.
By: David Schwab, WDAZ
GRAND FORKS (WDAZ-TV) - Thursday marked the repeal of the state law the requires UND to keep The Fighting Sioux nickname and logo.
Now, nickname backers have announced they will begin a petition drive to put that law back place.
Grant Shaft says UND will continue with its plan to substantially retire the Sioux Nickname and Logo by the end of this month and basically wait and see how this petition drive plays out.
The Spirit Lake tribe's Committee for Understanding and Respect issued a statement to officially begin the petition process to put the the Fighting Sioux nickname law to a statewide vote.
The committee needs 13,000 signatures by February 7 to put the nickname on the ballot and 27,000 signatures to put the nickname on the ballot as a constitutional amendment.
13,000 signatures alone would require UND to use the Fighting Sioux nickname again until there is a November vote.
"In other words, the legislative directive would still be that the Fighting Sioux nickname and logo is the name and logo of the University Of North Dakota," Board of Higher Education president Grant Shaft said.
Shaft says, if that happens, UND would likely have to re-implement the name and logo and wait and see what happens in the November vote.
Shaft says if the nickname law is put back in place after a statewide vote, the board's options are to do nothing or challenge the law.
"We would have the opportunity to challenge it constitutionally by indicating the constitution gives us full authority over the institutions and in that full authority, we have the authority to determine what is the nickname and logo in the best interest of the university," Shaft said.
Shaft hopes, if the law is put to a vote, that people study the issue to make an informed decision.
"The more you find out about what the facts really are and how it affects the university, the more likely you agree that it should be retired," Shaft said.
Shaft says the board has not discussed what actions, if any, it will take.
He says they do have the option to challenge the law to see it's constitutional.

Speaking the Truth
Gary is an author, trial lawyer, Mequon-area resident and town of Cedarburg supervisor. He is a columnist for the News Graphic and writes for several Wisconsin area magazines and is a national columnist with The American Thinker and PJ Media. He lives with his wife, Lisa, and has three sons ages 18 to 28. Gary won Ozaukee County in his bid for the Wisconsin Assembly's 60th District in 2011, but came up just 58 votes short.
Never in the history of America has a president talked more about creating jobs and done less to actually create them. If speeches could put people to work America would have the lowest unemployment on the planet. Unfortunately, unemployment continues to rise as a president challenging Herbert Hoover's place as the greatest job terminator in U.S. history continues to read from the teleprompter. Instead of looking at his own job-destroying policies – a failed stimulus, mounting debt, repeatedly raising the minimum wage, Dodd-Frank, Obamacare, and his continual class-warfare rhetoric - President Obama continues to blame our downward employment spiral on a never-ending laundry list of things only the truly under-informed voter could possibly believe have anything to do with the country's malignant unemployment rate. This list is laughable: the Arab Spring, ATMs, the internet, fiscal cliff "brinksmanship", George Bush, bad luck, and even the weather. When will he realize that socialism brings bad luck to everybody?
There is a saying in Texas. When they say that somebody is "All hat and no cattle" it is used in reference to people imitating the fashion of cowboys. These people wear the cowboy hats, but have no experience on the ranch. They don't know what they are talking about. Like our president, they talk the talk, but do not walk the walk. In his 2009 Inaugural Address the president of hope and change spoke to his swooning minions and promised, "The state of the economy calls for action, bold and swift, and we will act – not only to create new jobs, but to lay a new foundation for growth." That was four years ago. The unemployment rate was 7.2% and gas was $1.79 a gallon. Obama's advisers produced a nifty chart visualizing the positive results of his recovery plan. Nearly 1000 speeches later the unemployment has spiked past 10%, gas is nearly $3.50 per gallon, and over 14 million more people are on food stamps. We tried to warn the swooning masses of under-informed voters that the 44th president of the United States was all hat and no cattle.

OTHER COLLECTIONS BY: Osman
2010 February 22
Runway Reviews: Christopher Kane, Osman
Getty Images View Gallery
(LONDON) Christopher Kane
Before the Matthew Williamson and Burberry shows returned to London, Christopher Kane was arguably the hottest ticket at London Fashion Week. That still may be the case. For his Fall 2010 presentation, the likes of Carine Roitfeld and Naomi Campbell took to the front row to observe the follow-up to last season's slightly twisted Lolita. This time, Kane again masterfully mixed innocence with blatant sex appeal; black leather and lace creations were covered in colorful floral embroidery. The collection opened with black kilt-style skirts
and lace tops, a solid blouse with the embroidery on the front and sleeves slit up the inside for a vaguely cape-ish feel, and a patent leather pencil skirt that added a fetishist touch. Long blazers and coats came into the mix, but all followed the formula of lace, leather, and embroidery. There was an austerity reminiscent of Prada's lace collection for Fall 2008; blouses had high necks with either a buttoned-up shirt collar or a mandarin collar. There's no doubt Kane's collection will score major points with editors and his loyal following of chicettes, but there was something a tiny bit unsatisfying when the last model left the runway. Sure, Kane hit on
another great idea and executed it to perfection, but with every single look a variation on a fairly rigid theme attendees were left wanting more. Kane is more than capable.
There's a studied simplicity and ease to the clothing of Osman Yousefzada, so it's fitting that the designer launched a 12-piece capsule collection of jersey pieces for Fall 2010, starting with the four draped navy dresses that opened the show. Dresses, tops, and even trousers came in the jersey, which showed off the designer's skill in drapery. Of course, structure and architectural silhouettes made appearances as well, primarily in the use of stiff mohair in a hot pink coat and striped pleated skirt. If the heavy mohair was a bit bulky, soft leathers were a better way to integrate a bit of structure. One pale taupe leather dress was especially simple and lovely.

Students at the University of Maryland are opting-out of buying textbooks because of the expense. Photo by Yevgeniy Trapeznikov
Published on: Wednesday, January 29, 2014
By Yevgeniy Trapeznikov, Special to The Sentinel
A new study shows students at the University of Maryland may be opting-out of purchasing required textbooks because of the high cost. On Jan. 29 the Maryland branch of Public Interest Research Groups (PIRG) in partnership with the UMD Student Government Association (SGA) held a public rally at the University of Maryland campus in support of so-called Open Source Textbook project.
The Student Public Interest Research Groups (Student PIRGs) are independent statewide student organizations that work on issues like environmental protection, consumer protection, hunger and homelessness.
Kelly McCluer, Maryland representative of PIRG, and Meenu Singh, Vice President of the UMD Student Government Association (SGA), released results of its latest national survey of students regarding college textbook costs and alternatives.
In recent years the cost of purchasing textbooks has increased dramatically. An average student spends $1,200 per year – which constitutes about 39 percent of tuition and fees at a community college and 14 percent of tuition and fees at a four-year public institution. Over the past decade increase in textbook prices has been nearly three times the rate of inflation.
"I believe textbooks are expensive at UMD. I prefer to buy used books on Amazon or Ebay at a much cheaper price. Depending on the condition of a textbook, price difference may vary from $50 to $100," said Ammar Alam, UMD sophomore.
The Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA) of 2008 requires textbook publishers to disclose book prices to professors at marketing stage and allows students to see those prices during registration. According to a government study report, the measures contributed to greater transparency and helped students buy used books and enjoy renting opportunities. Another outcome of the HEOP implementation was the fact that publishers began offering books and supplementary material individually as opposed to bundles, a practice blamed by PIRG for driving the college book prices in some cases up to 50 percent.
"I just got a genetics book on rental and I paid $150. It's ridiculous considering it is just rental," said Alexandra Urman, UMD junior studying microbiology. "Getting textbooks from alternative providers is definitely cheaper. I have just got my math book through a book drop for $30. And I got both the book and solutions supplement. Here, at UMD book store, it is like $170. You can feel the difference," added Urman.
However, the PIRG study found such cost-reducing opportunities short-term and virtually ineffective to stop textbook prices from further skyrocketing.
According to PIRG study, the underlying flaw why renting and used book purchases do not adequately work in reining in the prices is the lack of the fundamental marketing principle. Students, who ultimately buy textbooks, cannot exercise their rightful consumer control.
"The professor chooses the book while the student is forced to pay for it. As students are unable to choose more affordable option, the publishers are able to drive prices higher without fear of repercussions," the report, prepared by PIRG, described prevailing situation in the textbook market.
Such plight is found to have perilously adverse effect on the students' academic performance and generally endangers accessibility of quality higher education in the country.
In its late-2013 survey, which included 2039 students from more than 150 campuses, PIRG found that 65 percent of the respondents decided not to buy textbooks because they were too expensive. About 94 percent of those who did not buy textbooks said they were concerned about their academic grades. And nearly half said they were "significantly" concerned – underlining the fact that students "knowingly" accepted the risk of a lower grade as a result of not getting required textbook.
Destinee Dignan, a junior student majoring in psychology at UMD, said that she only bought books in portions as she needed them.
"I have to prioritize my classes because I cannot buy every textbook. I do not really know what the professors are talking about if I cannot read along or read ahead. I work as well, but I can only afford so much because I cannot spend all my income on textbooks," said Dignan.
PIRG emphasized that even opportunities, such as availability of rental stores, which have grown ten-fold in just over the past four years, thanks to funding by U.S. Department of Education, had been able to go so far. The five textbook publishing companies, who control over 80 percent of $8.8 billion market, continued to raise college book prices as they retained unparalleled rights over new releases.
PIRG estimates show that by releasing new edition every three-four years – which costs 12 percent more on average as compared with the previous book – enables those companies to drive prices on used and rented material as well. And even proliferation of the digitized content (e-books) could not produce desirable results as "the companies' venture into e-textbooks carried on the practices they used to monopolize the print market."
The only effective way, according to PIRG, is wider adoption by the country's educational institutions of the "open textbooks" – college texts that are released under an open source license allowing free digital access, low-cost printing, and customization by instructors.
The PIRG's survey found that 82 percent of students said they would do significantly better in a course if the textbook was available online.
According to the study, open textbooks, available online with optional hard copy, is the only viable means to curb otherwise runaway college book prices. Rentals and e-books cannot offer such fix.
Recently, the use of open textbooks attracted federal, state and institutional investment. With steadily growing numbers of such books used in classrooms, there are about 140 titles available under an open license in the University of Minnesota Open Textbook Library alone.
"The open textbook pilot is a victory. A big part of the move towards open source is changing the culture surrounding how faculty choose textbooks, and our pilot addresses the education and collaboration that is needed for that transformation," said Meenu Singh, SGA Vice President for Academic Affairs.
Despite impressive returns and savings, which the use of open textbook has been able to demonstrate lately, the program has to overcome two major problems – relatively high initial investment and involvement of both faculty and students to enable pilot program to mature into an integral part of higher education.
The first problem is frequently dealt with the financial help of federal and state support. The second one calls for close communication between different members of campus communities.
The University System of Maryland recently held a seminar for their faculty, connecting experts from the Open Textbook Library and university staff as part of The Maryland Open-Source Textbook Initiative. Professors and other administrators were able to ask questions and learn more about the open textbook process. This workshop was the first step of a three-part program to engage faculty and evaluate the potential for open textbooks on system campuses. The initiative was originally developed by students, who also organized the campaign and brought the proposal to the attention of campus and system administrators.

>> Learn more about the new Big East schools
>> Social media reaction to the Big East announcement
>> Big East Q&A
* * *
NEW YORK — Creighton University's president doesn't normally pay attention to his cellphone when it rings and certainly not when he's in the middle of a meeting with his vice presidents and deans.
But the Rev. Timothy Lannon had a feeling something big was coming March 13 when the Rev. Dennis Holtschneider, president of DePaul University, popped up on his phone's caller ID.
So Lannon ran out of the meeting to take the call.
"I've got some great news for you," Holtschneider told him. "On behalf of the presidents, we'd like you to join the Big East."
Wednesday, just one week later, Lannon and Holtschneider were in a Fox studio in midtown Manhattan alongside presidents of the eight other schools that will constitute the new-look Big East.
In addition to its new membership roster, the group announced a lucrative 12-year television contract with Fox Sports and the continuation of a partnership with Madison Square Garden, the "temple of basketball" that hosts the Big East conference tournament.
CU-Big East timeline
December 2012: The Rev. Timothy Lannon, Creighton University president, has conversations with several Big East school presidents, alerting them Creighton would be interested in joining the new conference.
January 2013: Lannon lobbies the other university presidents in earnest, making the case for inviting Creighton. The other presidents remain tight-lipped about where Creighton stands.
Feb. 27: Big East legal counsel informs Lannon that an invitation is possible.
March 4: Although an official invitation has yet to be extended, the Creighton Board of Trustees discusses the possibility in executive session during a regularly scheduled meeting. Athletic Director Bruce Rasmussen walks the board through the challenges and opportunities involved.
March 7: The Board of Trustees' executive committee grants provisional authority to accept an invitation if extended.
March 13: Lannon receives a phone call from DePaul's president, the Rev. Dennis Holtschneider, officially extending an invitation. Later in the day, the executive committee convenes a special meeting, grants authority to join the new conference.
March 15: Lannon calls Missouri Valley Conference commissioner Doug Elgin to inform him of the decision.
March 20: The Big East announces its new lineup featuring Creighton and nine other schools at a press conference in New York City.
Creighton's move from its traditional home in the Missouri Valley Conference was the result of months of lobbying by Lannon, as well as internal university discussions. Both Creighton and the Big East carefully weighed the pros and cons before ultimately deciding that the Jesuit school in Omaha would make a great fit in a conference that includes mostly Catholic, urban and academically accomplished schools.
Oh, and they all know a little something about big-time hoops as well. Five of the conference's 10 schools — including Creighton — are playing in this year's NCAA tournament.
"This is a match made in heaven," a beaming Lannon said at the press conference.
The Rev. Brian Shanley, president of Providence College, praised Creighton's fan base, its venues and its record of athletic success in many sports.
"There's nothing not to like about Creighton, except it's a long trip from Providence to Creighton," Shanley said. "But we're willing to make it because we think they're a perfect partner for the Big East."
Joining the Big East will mean big changes for Creighton and its supporters: an enhanced national profile, a much bigger pot of television revenues and higher travel costs.
Creighton becomes a full member of the Big East on July 1. All sports will move to the new conference, and CU will receive a full share of Big East television revenues right off the bat.
Lannon declined to share details of the financial arrangements, although he said the move will be a net plus to Creighton's bottom line. The league will be showcased on a new Fox Sports 1 channel. A 12-year TV contract reportedly will pay schools at least $3 million per year. The university faces no exit fees for leaving the MVC.
It was not immediately clear what the school will do with all that extra revenue.
"There are always competing demands for limited resources," Lannon said.
The school closely scrutinized two key issues: finances and the lost class time for its athletes.
Athletic Director Bruce Rasmussen and his staff put together an analysis that showed swapping bus rides for air travel will not result in much additional lost class time, Lannon said.
After news of the move started to surface, Lannon said he received emails from a handful of faculty members and fans who were upset about abandoning "Arch Madness," the annual Missouri Valley Conference tournament in St. Louis where the stands are typically dominated by Bluejay colors. Lannon said he hopes that many fans will make the trip to New York for the Big East tournament.
"I don't know if we'll have 6,500 fans migrate to New York City to the Garden for the tournament, but we've got loyal fans," he said.
|See more of how fans (and some CU officials) reacted to the news.
Those fans might find getting into Madison Square Garden isn't easy. Those at Wednesday's press conference bragged about the high demand they expect for tickets.
"New York City is a destination place for everybody. Even Omaha people are going to come to New York City," Shanley said. "They're going to love it."
Lannon said the wheels began turning on Creighton's move late last fall, when he got a sense that change was in the air for college basketball. Moving to a power conference would enhance the school in many ways.
Conference realignment seemed inevitable, and Lannon started reaching out to some of the presidents of schools in the Big East.
"I contacted some of them and just said, 'Hey, we're very happy in the Missouri Valley but if there's an opportunity for a change I'd like to put our nose under the tent in terms of the conversation,'" he said.
|Click here to compare CU's athletic spending with other Big East schools.
More on the deal from Fox Sports.
Those informal conversations morphed into a determined lobbying effort as the Big East's plans took shape. Creighton faced some challenges — geographic location, TV market and commercial air travel.
But Lannon focused on the positives — the school's fan base, its top-notch venues and the success of its programs.
"I was trying to state our case to say, 'Hey, we'd be a very, very good candidate.'"
Lannon could lean on personal relationships as he made his pitch. He rattled off a partial list of schools whose presidents he knows well — DePaul, Georgetown, Villanova, Marquette.
In fact, some reports indicated that Marquette played the role of advocate for Creighton, pushing to include it over some other schools that were candidates.
Marquette's president, the Rev. Scott Pilarz, described Lannon as one of his closest friends and pointed out they were both presidents in Pennsylvania at the same time — Lannon at St. Joseph's and Pilarz at the University of Scranton. But Pilarz downplayed any suggestion that Creighton was a tough sell to the rest of the conference.
|Discuss the Big East move on the Bluejays Today Facebook page.
"I would always stick up for Creighton —- it's another Jesuit school," Pilarz said. "But really Creighton was a favorite for all of us from the very beginning."
Despite Lannon's ties to many of the other presidents, they all stayed tight-lipped throughout the process, he said.
"They never gave anything up at all, and so I really had no idea how we were faring," Lannon said.
Then on Feb. 27, the Big East's legal counsel informed Lannon that an invitation was possible. The school's Board of Trustees discussed it on March 4, and Rasmussen walked the board through the challenges and opportunities posed by joining the new conference. On March 7, the board's executive committee gave a provisional green light to accept an invitation if it were offered.
The phone call with the official invitation came March 13, and the executive committee convened a special meeting and accepted the invitation.
Lannon called MVC Commissioner Doug Elgin a couple of days later to inform him of the decision. Creighton sent letters to all the other MVC schools on Wednesday, as soon as the official announcement was made.
The letters were full of appreciation, praise and best wishes. Lannon described the parting from the traditional conference as cordial.
"The saddest thing for me and a lot of us," Lannon said, "is that's been home for us for a long time, and we've had great success, tremendous success."

LOS ANGELES—R. B. Greaves, a pop singer who had a 1969 hit with "Take a Letter, Maria," has died in Los Angeles. He was 68.
The coroner's office says Ronald Bertram Greaves died of prostate cancer on Sept. 27 at his home.
"Take a Letter, Maria," about a man's final letter to his cheating wife, hit No. 2 on the Billboard chart and went gold. The song, with its soul style and brassy horn edge, went on to sell more than 2.5 million copies and remains a popular oldie.
Greaves also broke into the Top 40 in 1970 with his version of "(There's) Always Something There to Remind Me."
His career flagged in the 1970s, however.
Greaves was a nephew of the legendary R&B singer Sam Cook.

Ada EL is a library which implements an expression language similar to the JSP and JSF Unified Expression Languages (EL). The expression language is the foundation used by Java Server Faces and Ada Server Faces to make the necessary binding between presentation pages in XML/HTML and the application code written in Java or Ada.
GPS is a free software multi-platform and multi-language integrated development environment (IDE). It provides a wide range of tools integrated together, and features particularly powerful source navigation capabilities. GPS also integrates GVD, the GNU Visual Debugger, and replaces it.
The gps_installer is a GTK+ application used to integrate custom Ada library projects into the Gnat Programming Studio (GPS). The installer is designed to be as simple as possible. It takes the directory where the source files are located and the list of files to install. The installer tries to figure out where to move the files and how to process them. No specific actions need to be specified.
The GRASP Project has created an algorithmic-level graphical representation for software called the Control Structure Diagram (CSD). The CSD was created to improve the comprehension efficiency of Ada source code and, as a result, improve software reliability and reduce software costs. Since its creation, the CSD has been expanded and adapted to include other languages. GRASP provides the capability to generate CSD's from Ada 95, C, C++, Java, and VHDL source code in both a reverse and forward engineering mode with a level of flexibility suitable for professional application. GRASP has been integrated with the GNU family of compilers for Ada (GNAT) and C (gcc), and Sun's javac compiler for Java. Use of GRASP is not restricted to these compilers, however. This has resulted in a comprehensive graphically-based development environment for these languages. The user may view, edit, print, and compile source code as CSDs with no discernible addition to storage or computational overhead.
The library is a contribution to GtkAda, an Ada bindings to GTK+ toolkit. It deals with the following issues: tasking support; custom models for tree view widget; custom cell renderers for tree view widget; multi-columned derived model; an extension derived model (to add columns to an existing model); an abstract caching model for directory-like data; tree view and list view widgets for navigational browsing of abstract caching models; file system navigation widgets with wildcard filtering; resource styles; capturing the resources of a widget; embeddable images; some missing sub-programs and bugfixes; a measurement unit selection widget and dialogs; an improved hue-luminance-saturation color model; simplified image buttons and buttons customizable by style properties; controlled Ada types for GTK+ strong and weak references; and a simplified means to create lists of strings.

Well, great i just had a couple of my mates order the same card i have since it was working fine before the firmware upgrade...
But since the website magically says it was guaranteed to work with 2G i thought, well it worked why wouldn't it now.
So not only im i left without a working phone..i had more people spending money on my recommendation.
Support is not there...I tried restoring the phone. Tried different firmware versions and nothing.
I either get the No Sim installed problem, or the "Different card detected" problem.
Im using a Cypriot (Cyprus) simcard and it doesnt work.
Anyone have any suggestions i can try? Kind of desperate right now.
Thanks in advance

The Earth Science Program at OSU explains "Earth science is the study of all aspects of our planet and their interactions with living systems. Each aspect of the earth interacts with the others in fascinating and important ways and the study of these interactions is increasingly important to our society.
"There are four major disciplines in the broad area of earth sciences: geography, geology, geophysics and geodesy. These major disciplines use physics, chemistry, biology, chronology and mathematics to build a quantitative understanding of the principal areas of the earth system.
"Earth science is generally defined as the interdisciplinary study encompassing phenomena of the earth's domains: the lithosphere, the hydrosphere, the atmosphere and the biosphere. These domains correspond to rocks, water, air and life. The field is now evolving in a direction that increasingly includes the cryosphere (corresponding to ice) as a distinct portion of the hydrosphere, and the pedosphere (corresponding to soil) as part of an actively mixing, dynamic earth system."
