Many thanks.
The advantage of these constructors is that they are easy to use. However, these constructors also have disadvantages:
They automatically make every cell editable.
They treat all data types the same (as strings). For example, if a table column has Boolean data, the table can display the data in a check box. However, if you use either of the two JTable constructors listed previously, your Boolean data > is displayed as a string. You can see this difference in the Vegetarian column of the previous figure.

1. May I add a JButton at the end of each row in JTable?

Horizontal or vertical. The cells could not show all the digits.
It did not show the horizontal scroll bar in JTable.

Project Instructions
Step 1 Punch an 11" circle from medium teal cardstock, using Deco Shell cartridge and following the instructions in the circle edge punch starter set (reprinted below). Punch a six-inch circle from light Teal cardstock.
Step 2 Adhere large punched circle on kraft cardstock page as shown. Print journaling on kraft cardstock. Trim and round corners with corner rounder punch. Wrap journaling block with blue and white twine, and adhere to back. Adhere journaling block to Teal cardstock. Layer and adhere photo as shown.

Step 4 Using circle cutter, cut a 2¼" circle from pale yellow cardstock and mat on a 2½" Teal cardstock circle. Spell title with alphabet stickers on yellow circle. Adhere the layered circles to the smaller punched circle.
Step 5 Attach the punched circle to the page as shown using adhesive foam dots.
Circle Edge Punch Instructions
TIP: Use scrap paper to practice punching before starting your project.
Step 1 Remove clear cover from punch cartridge.
Step 2 Insert bottom metal plate from cartridge into sliding tray on base by pulling the release tab back and placing flat side up. Be sure that the smooth, flat side is facing up to ensure proper punch function. NOTE: Finished circle may be slightly smaller than selected size.
Step 3 Choose a circle size between 6" and 12" in 1" increments. Select circle size by sliding the measurement switch on the curved front of the base to desired diameter. Then move the sliding tray so the arrow marks align with the same number selected on the front of the base.
Step 4 Locate the center of your paper and lightly mark it with a pencil.
Step 5 Remove the rotating knob from the base by turning slightly and pulling up. Place your paper on the punch base over the circle where the knob was removed. Try to center this as best as possible. Align the grid on the bottom of the knob with the center of your paper. Replace knob on base so that all the magnets connect. You should feel the magnets lock the paper in place. If mark on paper does not align with grid, adjust the paper by pulling the edge until center mark is aligning. TIP: Use paper larger than your desired diameter. If your paper is the same size as the circle you are punching, align the center of the edge of your paper with the notch on the top of the metal punch plate.
Step 6 Place punch cartridge on top of your paper over the metal plate in the sliding tray. All magnets will connect.
Step 7 Press the punch cartridge down evenly with both hands.
Step 8 Remove the punch cartridge. Press down and turn the knob in either direction until it clicks in place. Paper will rotate to next area to be punched. TIP: If you are unsure if your paper is in the correct position, re-align the circle by turning the knob back to the previously punched position and rotate again.
Step 9 Repeat Steps 7 and 8 until circle is complete.
Step 10 Separate the knob from the base by turning slightly and pulling up. Remove finished circle.

My only concern is the devaluation of Sha Crystals. I think item-generated equipment should be unable to be disenchanted.
Other than that, what's wrong with a quick catch-up this late in the expansion? The gear generated is, more often than not, itemized for shit. I tried making some empowered gloves because I thought I might get some 535 gloves to replace my 530 valor gloves with hit on them, and of course I ended up with a set of gloves with 1200+ hit and no secondary. Not exactly top of the line. Other than meta slot for helms, does this gear even ever have gem slots?
Also, ToT (even LFR), Conquest, and Valor gear are all still higher ilvl. Really don't see the problem, again other than the flood of Sha Crystals on the AH. (Which is arguably not a problem, at least to some people... I'm biased as an enchanter, who made a lot of money off of Sha Crystals and some enchants that used them.)

Murder trial in ND severed head case goes to juryCOOPERSTOWN, N.D. (AP) — Prosecutors told jurors Tuesday that they have plenty of evidence to prove a Cooperstown man shot and beheaded a North Dakota State University researcher, but the man's defense attorney said there's no way to prove his client pulled the trigger.
COOPERSTOWN, N.D. (AP) — Prosecutors told jurors Tuesday that they have plenty of evidence to prove a Cooperstown man shot and beheaded a North Dakota State University researcher, but the man's defense attorney said there's no way to prove his client pulled the trigger.
Daniel Wacht, 31, is accused of killing Kurt Johnson in an effort to impress a white supremacist group. Johnson's severed head was found in Wacht's basement after a night of drinking on New Year's Eve 2010. Johnson's body has not been found. Jurors began deliberating the case around noon Tuesday.
Wacht's attorney, Steven Mottinger, noted during closing arguments that there were no eyewitnesses.
"Hint, guess and suspicion are not and can never be enough," Mottinger said.
However, Griggs County prosecutor Marina Spahr told jurors there are "layers of evidence" to prove that Wacht was guilty. Spahr highlighted evidence that included a love seat cushion found in Wacht's garbage that was soaked with Johnson's blood and boots and gloves with Johnson's blood on the outside and Wacht's DNA inside.
"You don't have to see Daniel Wacht pull the trigger to know that he did," Spahr said.
Mottinger also took issue with what prosecutors said was Wacht's motive for the slaying. Mottinger asked the jury why Wacht would "kill a white man" for recognition from a white supremacist outfit.
Mottinger said Wacht is proud of his heritage and his beliefs are his own business. Prosecutors, Mottinger said, did not show that Wacht wanted to do something dramatic because he was starting a local Aryan Nation group.
"If that's so, where is the gang? Where is it?" Mottinger said.
Prosecution witness Jason Bolstad testified last week that Wacht, known as "Machine Gun Head" for a tattoo of the weapon above his right ear, said he was "either going to blow something up or kill someone" to prove the Aryan Nation was in the area.
Mottinger questioned Bolstad's credibility.
"They base their whole theory on a man who admits to multiple felonies, admits his testimony would help him out of his own legal problems," the defense attorney said.
Spahr said earlier in the trial that Johnson was "fall-down drunk" and couldn't stay on his bar stool after drinking at a local bar. His blood-alcohol content was 0.54. After another man helped Johnson out of the bar, Wacht eventually grabbed Johnson by the collar and waist and hoisted him into his van.
Mottinger said Wacht later dropped off Johnson at another bar in town.
He also said authorities did a poor job of handling evidence and complained about cross-contamination. He said investigators did not find a shovel in their original search of Wacht's house.
The defense attorney told jurors it doesn't make sense that Wacht would go to great lengths to hide the body and store the head in his house, or that he would stay in town if he was guilty.
Spahr said Mottinger's contention that someone else was involved in the killing has no basis because all of Wacht's roommates were out of town for several days following the New Year holiday.
"That leaves Daniel Wacht at home, alone, with Kurt Johnson. Who else would pull the trigger?" she asked.

The Occupy Wall Street-ers made a curious choice. Why call for a protest outside of Francisco Costa's show? Of all the New York designers, who consistently demonstrates more restraint, more studiousness, more of a desire to create buy-now, wear-forever fashion? Perhaps it was cancelled, as editors arriving at the 2 p.m. show were greeted with what appeared to be the usual assortment of street style photogs and curious tourists. But inside CK HQ, the all-white show space was swathed in noir. Franzi opened the show in a wool and mohair collarless coat, accompanied by a languid, static-y, reverberating drum beat that was eventually mixed with some Alice Coltrane-esque abstractions. At the house of Costa, there will be no Lana Del Ray. As the meditation on black continued, the message was clear: these are clothes to think about. The new-shape pant—pleated, full, and cropped—was rendered in a buttery black leather and paired with a sculptural wool jacket. Costa's fabric research, always impressive, paid off big-time, with a handful of divine shifts in the kind of substantial yet movement-conscious wool that Joseph Beuys would have admired. (The show notes describe it as "technical.") But despite the gravitas of Costa's first act, an injection of colors like "poppy, parchment, cerise," and "sienna" were applied to the same fabrics in contoured crewneck dresses and angular coats. But it was the last three noir dresses, made of knotted silk embroidery and some sort of sparkle, that made the strongest statement about the new look of luxury. Opulent? Not a bit.

As the day approaches when the Israeli government plans to uproot more than 8,000 Jews from their homes in the Gush Katif Settlement Bloc in the Gaza Strip, tensions continue to escalate not only among Jews, but also among Palestinians. Notwithstanding, two of the leading terrorist organizations, Hamas and Islamic Jihad, have agreed to cooperate with the Palestinian Authority (PA) during the Israeli withdrawal from Gaza. "Hamas will join the Palestinian people in celebrating Israeli withdrawal to emphasize that the [armed] resistance is responsible for the liberation of these territories," said Hamas leader Mahmoud Zahar. The PA, Hamas and Islamic Jihad plan to hold joint victory celebrations after they take over the Jewish communities in Gush Katif.

In a recent article in National Journal, Jonathan Rauch explains that the "Tea Party" is not one organization run by a top-down command structure, but rather a large number of local organizations across the country. Almost all of them are completely run by volunteers, and they do a multitude of different things: recruit candidates for office, hold rallies, network with other activists, etc. Many do not even have a formal organizational structure, but are merely a band of interested people who get together to talk and strategize, then take it upon themselves to accomplish various goals and see if others want to help out.
One particularly telling anecdote is the following:
Asked how many neighborhood tea parties exist in the Dallas area, another citywide coordinator replied, "I don't even know."
The coordinator does not know because "tea parties" are often just groups of people who get together and start engaging in political activism. Their existence ebbs and flows, with groups constantly forming and disappearing. Groups frequently coordinate, but often they do their own thing.
What the article does not mention is that much of what these various groups do is potentially subject to campaign finance laws. For instance, if the members of a small grassroots tea party group want to put up signs for a candidate they like, under federal law (for a Congressional race) and the law of most states (for state and local races), they need to report their spending on those signs. If the "group" (I use quotation marks as it could just be a few people who belong to a Meetup group or even an email list) is coordinating the effort with other "groups," then all of the people involved may be subject to complex administrative and reporting requirements that can be navigated safely only with the aid of lawyers and accountants. Much of this activity, luckily, flies under the regulators' radar, but the potential for liability is widespread and ominous.
All of this goes to show that campaign finance laws are not designed for a decentralized bunch of activists like the Tea Party movement. But the application of campaign finance laws to the activities of these citizens is more than just another example of the government applying antiquated laws to a world they weren't designed for. More importantly, these laws threaten to wrap tea partiers—as well as activists of all political stripes—in so much bureaucratic red tape that they can't speak. While that's a result that most professional politicians facing reelection this November would probably like, it's one that those of us who care about keeping political speech in this country robust should abhor.

I have already installed part of this system, but I am worried that the floors won't get warm enough for someone in the family who loves really warm (80 deg) tile floors in the bathroom. Here's my setup:
Wirsbo/Aquapex 1/2" tubing
*** Wirsbo Joist Trak - 2 parallel per joist bay ***
3/4" old "ship lap" subfloor
5/8" new plywood subfloor
Tile flooring
*** Main source of heat is forced air furnace - I am not relying on this system to warm the rooms.
I am planning on using the floor heating as the return tubing for my hot water recirculation pump. So, I will get a non-iron recirc pump and the hot water heater will be the same one I use for consuming potable water.
Does anyone have any experience in a similar setup? I would prefer to keep the HWH at 120deg for anti-scald purposes.
Is it possible to warm these tile floors to 80 degrees? Are there any spec sheets/calculators for figuring this out?
As always, thanks so much!

Skarmory has always been one of the top physical walls in the game, and it has managed to retain these bragging rights even in a metagame infested with Shadow Tag Chandelure. Skarmory's absurd physical bulk, excellent typing, and access to Spikes all make it an incredible team supporter. It can wall threats that Ferrothorn could never dream of handling while supporting its team, and it can even disrupt other walls if need be. It's a fantastic wall and easily one of the biggest hurdles for sand teams to overcome, walling menacing Dragon-types and threats such as Excadrill and Garchomp. To put it bluntly, Skarmory is probably the best Steel-type wall in Dream World.
This set is Skarmory's bread and butter. Its stellar defenses and typing make it an exceedingly difficult physical wall to crack, and Skarmory is capable of taking full advantage of this fact. Spikes are Skarmory's primary form of team support and by far the preferred of its two entry hazards. However, if Skarmory's team desperately needs a Stealth Rock user, Skarmory can fill that role. Roost and Whirlwind make breaking through Skarmory a challenge, with the latter preventing setup and racking up entry hazard damage quite quickly. Brave Bird is Skarmory's STAB move of choice, allowing it to threaten offensive Pokemon who are weak to it, such as Breloom or Serperior. Additionally, if Skarmory is at full health, Sturdy ensures that Skarmory can use Brave Bird to trade its life for that of a rampaging Volcarona. Taunt is also a viable option, shutting down other entry hazard users such as Ferrothorn; however, the lack of a reliable STAB move can be detrimental against Pokemon such as Magic Bounce Espeon.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Skarmory can opt to run a specially defensive EV spread and nature, but compared to Ferrothorn it is a rather poor special wall, especially considering how difficult it is to kill with a physically defensive spread. If Brave Bird's recoil is unappealing, then Drill Peck is an alternative, though the drop in power is noticeable. For example, Skarmory loses the ability to break Garchomp's Substitute. Sky Drop, Toxic, and Torment can all be used to disrupt the opponent, but the use of any of these moves forces Skarmory to give up a critically important moveslot. Brave Bird is the most replaceable of Skarmory's staple moves if any of these options are appealing. Rocky Helmet can be used to build up passive damage on U-turn users and the like, but comes at the cost of leaving Skarmory vulnerable to Chandelure and Magnezone, and does not aid in Skarmory's survivability like Leftovers does. Skarmory has access to a rather gimmicky Swords Dance set that takes advantage of Weak Armor for Speed boosts, but the set is very weak and makes Skarmory more vulnerable to special attacks.
Checks and Counters
Chandelure and Magnezone are the biggest threats to Skarmory when it is not holding a Shed Shell, as they can trap it and OHKO with their respective STAB moves. Special attackers, especially those who can capitalize on forcing Skarmory out, such as Genesect and Rotom-W, give Skarmory severe trouble. Fast Pokemon with Taunt, such as Deoxys-S and Gyarados, can shut Skarmory down completely. Skarmory also hates sun, as it allows normally-survivable unSTABed special Fire-type attacks to OHKO it. Dragon-type Pokemon, such as Salamence, are especially threatening because Skarmory's team can no longer rely on it to wall Dragon-type attacks. Rapid Spin, though not directly dangerous to it, undoes all of Skarmory's work, so a Ghost-type teammate, such as Choice Scarf Chandelure, is handy for preventing entry hazards from being blown away.

Tennessee driver service centers open for ID's
Voters in Tennessee must have a valid, government issued photo ID to cast a ballot on Tuesday.
A handful of driver service centers in Tennessee opened their doors Saturday making sure people get a photo ID before the election.
We've learned the turn-out was relatively low at the Driver Service Center in Johnson City Saturday.
Officials tell us people have been coming in throughout the week, but some say they chose to get their photo ID on Saturday hoping to skip long lines.
"I went to another office to get my driver's license switched over to photo ID and didn't get waited on," says customer Linda Hardin.
"If you've already had a government issued ID and it has your picture on there, you can use that. Even if it's expired you can still use that. You can still use an expired driver's license if it has your picture on it," explains Driver's Service Center Employee Alex Barger
We've learned Tennessee residents can still get a photo ID Monday and Tuesday before heading to the polls.

San Antonio Express-News (01.08.13)
Drs. Fred Poordad and. Eric Lawitz, liver specialists and professors at the University of Texas Health Science Center, evaluated a new drug combination to determine whether the hepatitis C virus could be cured quickly and without the adverse effects of current treatment using interferon. At present, standard treatment requires 48 weekly interferon injections to stimulate part of the immune system to fight the virus (but with the adverse effect of depressing other parts), combined with other drugs taken daily in pill form. According to Poordad, interferon causes many side effects, including flu-like symptoms, headaches, nausea, depression, and thyroid gland damage. As a result, some patients who have heard about interferon's side effects do not get treated.
The researchers used two investigational drugs, ABT-450 and ABT-333, by Abbott Laboratories, which funded the study. Poordad explained that the investigational drugs are antiviral agents that stop the virus from replicating. For 12 weeks, the researchers treated 50 South Texas patients with pills containing the two investigational drugs and the currently used antiviral drug ribavirin and the drug ritonavir. The study reports that the new drug cocktail boosted the cure rate of certain patients from 70 percent to 95 percent in a quarter of the previous treatment's time. Between 93 and 95 percent of patients who had not been treated previously were considered cured when evaluated after the treatment. Of the patients who had been unsuccessfully treated before, 47 percent were considered cured. The side effects of the new treatment were mild but included fatigue, nausea, headache, dizziness, insomnia, itching, rash, and vomiting.
The study, "Exploratory Study of Oral Combination Antiviral Therapy for Hepatitis C," was published in the New England Journal of Medicine (2013; 368:45-53).

I have a 3 year old girl and have another baby due in July.
I'm 21 now and will still be then. I am in a nearly 8 year
relationship. Not much else to tell. Just checking out
the site.
Welcome to strongmoms! I'm so glad that you found your way here. It sounds like you are going to be one busy mom in a few months-not that you aren't already! What is your favorite thing about being a mom now? What are you most looking forward to about having a sibling for your daughter? Does she know about the baby yet?
I hope that you will take some time to explore the boards, you will find them a good place to come for support, guidance and to make some new friends.
I'm looking forward to getting to know you better,
:) Jess
Welcome!! Glad you posted so that we can get to know you better. What is your little girl's name? Hopefully she will love being a big sister! Do you plan on finding out if you will have a boy or girl? I bet you are pretty excited! Have you been feeling okay? Hoping you have a safe and healthy pregnancy!
Welcome! I hope you had a wonderful holiday---Did your 3 year old have fun?
Thank you all! Christmas is over and it was great.
My little girl knows about the baby but didn't believe me at first. I will find out if it is a boy or girl in February. I am thinking around my little girls birthday probably. It is the 18th. She is excited but can't make up her mind if she wants a brother or a sister. I don't really have a preference. I am thinking more towards girl though.
I haven't really had any pregnancy 'symptoms'. It was a breeze last time. So hopefully it will be this time too.
Awe thanks for the update. i'm so glad to hear that things are going smoothly and that you are both excited about the new baby. What fun it will be to watch your family grow!
You are so lucky to have easy pregnancies! I'm jealous. :-) So glad your little girl is excited. It always makes things easier when your first child is looking forward to having a sibling! Happy New Year!

Updated: AnyConnect VPN Mobility Client for iOS
If you use the Cisco AnyConnect VPN Mobility Client, please go to the Apple app store and update the AnnyConnect app on your device. Cisco has released an update for the client that resolves the Heartbleed flaw.
SSL Heartbleed Flaw
Following the Monday announcement of the SSL Heartbleed flaw (and subsequent release of patches), and after careful checking, we have found that none of the core IRT systems for sign-ins were affected. However, non-IRT systems might be affected.
Debunking Email Scams
With phishing scams more prevalent than ever, it is critical that email users learn how to recognize them - and delete them - before they can do harm. IRT has thus created the "Is This Real???" page to help users recognize these fake emails by debunking recent phishing scams. Be sure to check it often for updates, and for more information.
As reported in the IRT Tech Alert of Monday, February 21, Apple released two very important security patches for iOS devices and Mac computers. It is imperative that users apply the security patches immediately.
Scammers have tricked users into opening attachments that infect their machines with cryptolocker. The best way to avoid cryptolocker infection is to be very wary of any email containing links, attachments, or images you are not expecting.
The Korman Center's newest and most technologically advanced classroom, room 111F, has officially gone online. Six SmartDesk pods are a highlight of this redesigned space.
A new phishing scam is circulating through the Drexel community purporting to be from "Drexel UNIVERSITY" and claiming that DrexelConnect has "prevented a sign-in attempt" and asks users to verify their accounts. DO NOT CLICK THE LINK if you receive this message! It did NOT come from Drexel, and you should NEVER give anyone, anywhere, your sign in credentials. These messages are SCAMS. Delete them immediately.
On April 8, 2014, Microsoft will officially end support for the Windows XP operating system, as well as XP Mode.
Starting in mid-November, Drexel will begin automatically encrypting email that contains certain sensitive data. Senders will be told when the system automatically encrypts one of their outgoing messages so that we can highlight the kinds of data transmitted.
A variety of software incompatibilities have come to our attention concerning the Mac update OS X Mavericks, including the use of older versions of Parallels and inconsistencies in Apple Mail.
New phishing scams are changing and circulating every day. To prevent yourself from falling victim, exercise extreme caution with any email or request for personal information you receive.
Attention students: get important information for the start of fall term; including, how to connect to the Drexel wireless and wired networks, support for Learn and email, and how to manage your Drexel accounts!
On September 10, Drexel's VPN (used with Cisco AnyConnect client software and the Drexel VPN Login page) will only accept your Drexel Domain password when signing in.
Don't be a victim of scam, spam, and phishing emails! Avoid clicking links on suspicious messages and report offending emails.
Room 111 will be Korman's first collaborative classroom, designed to allow students to work in groups instead of the typical classroom side-by-side setup.
To accommodate continued university growth, Drexel must upgrade its voicemail system and change the way that faculty and professional staff access the voicemail system.
The University Research Computing Facility (URCF), a new high-tech facility atop Curtis Hall that provides a central location for high-performance computing resources, has recently purchased its first shared resource. The new Drexel Cluster is a High-Performance Computing solution from Dell.
The Office of Information Resources and Technology is pleased to announce that Drexel University has joined the Internet2 Innovation Campus Pilot with 30 other research organizations.
Soon you will be receiving your hard-earned Drexel degree. We wish you all the best in your new ventures in life. At the same time, we want to call to your attention the changes that will take place this summer with your computer account and, especially, some of the continuing computing services that Drexel's Office of Information Resources and Technology (IRT) offers you.

The following is a statement by Earthjustice Senior Legislative Counsel Joan Mulhern in response to a new report by Rep. Ed Markey (D-MA) and his House Natural Resources Committee staff on foreign exports from Appalachian mountaintop removal coal mines (read full report):
"We're opposed to all mountaintop removal coal mining because it destroys communities, contaminates clean drinking water supplies, harms and sickens people, decimates beautiful mountains, snuffs out Appalachian culture, and buries thousands of miles of streams.
"Today, the facts revealed by a powerful and sweeping report by Rep. Ed Markey (D-MA) and his House Natural Resources Committee staff add stinging insult to grave injury to Appalachian coal communities.
"Rep. Markey's report reveals that some coal companies are blowing up our nation's mountains and harming our own people just to ship most of the coal for use and energy production overseas. Is this the energy independence the coal industry has been claiming?
"It's time for our nation's leaders to face facts about dirty and dangerous coal and the abominable practice of mountaintop removal mining. We thank Rep. Markey for his leadership in exposing this truth about mountaintop removal coal mining.
"Mountaintop removal coal mining is an indefensible and immoral way to mine a woefully dirty and outdated form of energy. Our nation and our people deserve a clean energy economy that powers our communities and supplies healthy, sustainable jobs right here in our country."

Happy new year everyone ;-)
Now, last April, I posted my page, "About Me And This Blog". It has now come to have 960 Likes, 839 Comments, and 23 Votes! :D
Now, I've changed a lot over the past year. So much, in fact, that today I decided, I would make a new About Me Poster in the same style as the last… a new and updated version. Well, here it is:
Now, I'm not going to replace the other About Me Poster on my "About Me And This Blog" page. That would be wrong, as it was the old poster that each of the people that liked my page have viewed. What I'm going to do is decrease it in size, label as "About Me Poster 2012″ and add my new poster at the top. Does that sound OK?

SEATTLE — Nobody can accuse glass artist Dale Chihuly of thinking small.
Since he discovered the art of glass-blowing as a student in the 1960's, Chihuly has helped propel the medium to the forefront of the modern art world with enormous, undulating, platter-like creations and whimsical glass sculptures assembled by 10-person teams.
Now the Seattle-based craftsman is in the final stages of his biggest project yet, the installation of some 15 towering "chandeliers" and dozens of smaller works in Venice, Italy, where he first learned the mysterious art of manipulating molten glass.
Chihuly, 54, who took teams of glassblowers to three countries for the production of "Chihuly Over Venice," will arrive on Monday to oversee the installation of works weighing up to a ton or more in time for the city's first Biennale of Glass, which opens Sept. 12.
While he has done large installation in restaurants, museums, galleries and even aboard a ship, he said he had never tired anything as difficult logistically as Venice. "Italy is difficult to begin with and Venice is much more complicated than most cities," he said in the former boat factory on Lake Union that serves as his home and studio.
Chihuly, a striking figure with an eye patch and mane of wild curls, has spent more than $1 million on the Venice project involving some 300 people, probably more than has been spent for any single artistic enterprise sine the conceptual artist Christo wrapped Berlin's Reichstag in cloth last year.
Chihuly's assistants designed special four-legged frames to suspend the 15-foot-high chandeliers without damaging historic buildings and they consulted with Boeing Co. engineers for insight into possible wind hazards in the city's narrow waterways.
Chihuly sat through a seemingly endless series of meetings with Venetian authorities to win approval for his plans to install the giant glass assemblages over the city's famous canals and in palaces, courtyards and gardens.
Smaller works will be tossed from bridges and floated along the waterways as homage to the ancient glassmaking center that he fell in love with as a Fulbright fellow studying at the famed Venini Factory in the late 1960s.
"It is kind of a full circle, going back there after almost 30 years," he said. "It is my favorite city—along with about half the rest of the world's."
After learning at the hands of Venetian masters, the Tacoma native returned to the Pacific Northwest and in 1970 co-founded the Pilchuck Glass School north of Seattle, which has helped make the region an international center for the studio glass movement. Chihuly, who has not been blowing glass himself since losing his left eye in a 1976 automobile accident as assembled a staff of some 80 artisans and assistants who turn out pieces seven days a week.
His frequent exhibits are hugely popular and his work is represented in permanent collections of the world's most prestigious museums, including the Louvre in Paris and New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art. Current prices range from $3,000 for a small "basket" for $300,000 or more for a large chandelier or ceiling installation.
"He's one of the most successful artists in terms of both critical esteem and commercial success," said Donald Kuspit, author of a forthcoming study of his work.
Chihuly has ruffled feathers along the way in the staid art world, where until recently glassblowing was considered a mere craft. And he is aware that his self-titled Venice project could irritate some in the canal city, which has been a glass-making center for hundreds of years.
But Chihuly brushes aside any criticism of his brashly self-promotional style. "For everyone who didn't like that there would probably be another 10 who would say that what Chihuly has done has really helped bring up the rest of us."
He said he hoped that attitude would prevail among the glass masters of Venice as well. "I think when you have a big glass event it can't help but be good for the glass scene in Venice, and I think that they will probably realize that," he said.

He is tied for third in the nation in scoring and tied for first in game-winning goals. He is the leading freshman goal scorer in college hockey. He has won back-to-back ECAC rookie of the week honors. Yeah, yeah, yeah … but let's get after it.
Sam Anas, how do you feel about Yale?
"I'm really excited about this weekend," said Anas, who has found success on a vertically challenged Quinnipiac line with the Jones twins. "We have Brown first though on Friday, an important game. My parents, my aunt and uncle and sister are coming up. It should be great."
Inevitably, it pays to go to a young man's Twitter account for the bare truth.
Witness the Aug. 5 entry before Anas, from Potomac, Md., even began classes at Quinnipiac: "Seeing way too much Yale apparel here in Nantucket. #dontlikeit #rivals"
A quick glance at StubHub shows tickets for the rematch of the 2013 national hockey championship between No. 9 Yale and No. 5 Quinnipiac Saturday night at TD Bank Sports Center are running from $150 to $200 for the best seats. Even general admission is going for $50. Contrast this to a few football tickets between No. 20 Louisville-UConn at Rentschler Field Friday night going for as little as $2 on StubHub and a whole bunch more are going for $5 to $12.
"The Yale game is always a huge game," said coach Rand Pecknold, whose Bobcats have won eight in a row after losing their opener at Alaska-Anchorage, "I know even more is at stake after the national championship game last year. It always has been a huge event at our rink. In the last two-three years, it has become a pretty big event at Yale. I think the one at our rink is one of the best sporting events of the year in Connecticut. It's truly a spectacle.
Including standing room, 4,074 packed the place for the Yale game last February.
"I'm hearing rumors about how much they're going for online. There are some college kids who got their tickets and are making some pretty good money. I was told we hold 1,000 tickets for students for that game. They went on sale and they had 3,000 hits in four minutes and crashed the system."
Speaking of crashing the system, Anas, 5 feet 8, 150 pounds, has found a home on left wing with seniors Connor and Kellen Jones, those 5-9, 165-pound giants, on one of the quickest, most disruptive lines in college hockey. The Jones boys are in the top 11 in scoring, too. Few lines can score at their pace. Fewer can force turnovers at such pace.
"I couldn't have asked for a better situation than to play with the Jones twins," said Anas, 20. "They've been great. They've really helped me to bring my game to another level. Off the ice, we're always talking."
"I'd love to play the wing myself with Connor and Kellen Jones," Pecknold said. "They buzz. They hound the puck. They're relentless."
Pecknold initially had highly regarded freshman Peter Quenneville with the Jones twins. Anas played right wing with Matthew Pecca. Pecknold wanted to try Anas with the top line one game against Holy Cross. So he switched Anas from right to left wing. Quenneville got hurt. Anas started scoring like a madman. On Tuesday, Quenneville, believing junior hockey was the best path for his NHL ambitions, left the school to play for Brandon in the Western Hockey League.
"Some people would say Sam's undersized, some would say small," Pecknold said. "But he's a really, really good player. He has great hockey IQ. He has a nice set of hands. He's got the ability to make plays, whether it's scoring or setting up goals.
"A lot of kids have that ability at younger ages. The thing that separates them when they get to college and in the pros is can they do it at pace, with pressure? Nothing seems to faze him. I'm ecstatic with his level of play. He's worked on being a better defensive forward, too, something he's really improved on the last five-six weeks."
If you think Anas is light at 150 — and he could be the lightest to actually play Division I this season — Pecknold says you should have seen him when he recruited him as a senior in high school.
"Maybe, 140 pounds," said Pecknold, pausing. "I might be high. You better ask him. I know he wasn't highly recruited because of his size."
"Senior year, high school?" Anas said. "Oh, 130 pounds. I tried not to let that faze me."
And that number was closer to 120 when he was a junior. Clearly, he didn't let it faze him. As a senior he simultaneously played juniors for the DC Capitals and led an undefeated Landon School team to the Mid-Atlantic Prep Hockey League title, putting up scary offensive numbers. He played 90 games that season, was Washington Post All-Metropolitan Player of the Year and even one of Sports Illustrated's "Faces in the Crowd."
"The plan was he'd play two, maybe three years in the USHL [the nation's top junior league] before college," Pecknold said. "I remember him saying, 'I prefer only two.' I said let's see how it goes. He went out to Youngstown, had a really good first year and we ended up taking him after two. Obviously, we're happy we did. He has blossomed."
Anas broke the Youngstown Phantoms' season record with 37 goals last season. He had 54 goals and 97 points in 115 games over two seasons. He also scored a between-the-legs, backhand-to-forehand goal in a shootout. That one-man show found its way onto ESPN's Top 10 Plays.
"Quinnipiac was the first college to show serious interest and it was the only offer I received," said Anas, who got that offer on New Year's Eve. "For me it was a no-brainer. The coaches had a good understanding of the player I am. The campus is great. It was the perfect fit for me.
"When I was recruited, they talked a lot about the Jones brothers, how they were small and how great they were. Little did I know my freshman year I'd be playing alongside them. My offseason training has played a big role in my improvement — my trainer and old coach from home, Jason and Jared Kersner, with Pinnacle Performance. We'd not only work out hard, but we'd skate fives days a week. Not only did I get stronger, but I got to work on my stride."
Anas watched on NBC Sports as Quinnipiac beat Yale at TD Bank Sports Center last February. He was able to get from Youngstown to Pittsburgh for Quinnipiac's Frozen Four victory over St. Cloud, but he had a game the same day as the national championship and missed Yale's ultimate triumph.
"Over the last two years, I came to realize the intensity of the rivalry," said Anas, who was invited to work out at the Washington Capitals development camp over the summer. "I'm sure it's going to be crazier in person."
Gone from the rivalry, of course, are goalies Eric Hartzell of Quinnipiac and Jeff Malcolm from Yale and a number of others. Hartzell, the guy Pecknold called the best player in the country last season, signed with the Penguins last spring. He found himself a bit in the doghouse in camp and is playing for Wheeling of the ECHL. After a 6-2 loss in his pro debut to Reading last week, he lost a 3-2 shootout at Kalamazoo Wednesday. Malcolm, meanwhile, was demoted from the Hartford Wolf Pack to Greenville of the ECHL on Oct. 29. In a quirk meeting of rivals last week, Hartzell and Malcom found themselves as the backup goalies in Greenville, S.C. In the meantime, Quinnipiac sophomore Michael Garteig has won eight games in a row and is fourth in the nation with a 1.56 goals against average. Then there's Anas, whose five points last weekend were most in Division I. Undrafted by the NHL, undersized, the small man is making big noise heading into a big college hockey weekend in Connecticut. Now back to Twitter.
Nov. 2: "Despite what Cornell cheering section was saying my last name isn't pronounced anus.#classicmixup."
As smart as those Ivys are in upstate New York, it's not the first time Anas [pronounced Ann-is] heard it in opposing rinks.
"It actually goes back to when my dad [Peter] played goal for the University of Western Ontario," Anas said. "He said he played against Wisconsin. They were really giving it to him. He said he just laughed about it. That's what I do."
Now we'll just have to wait until those clever Yalies hear about this.
"I'm sure," Anas said. "I'm looking forward to it."

Billy Greer
(Writer/Artist -
As you may know, there is a fine line between genius and insanity. Meet the fellow who straddles that line like a manic circus performer. If it wasnt Dwayne his middle name would surely be original. He is, the self-proclaimed king of all things odd: Billy Greer. Both a writer and an artist, he has been practicing his craft for many years through comic strips, short stories and a novel. A few years ago Billy created the darkly humorous comic series Gloomy and Friends a project that he has spent a lot of effort promoting. Like all artists, Billy desires nothing more than to share his work with the world and is ever looking for a publisher. His enterprise goes by the name of NeverNormal Studio. So be sure to drop by and say hello if you find yourself at the Austin Comicon this November. I promise he doesnt bite much.

Research Interests
Molecular Modeling Using Computers
Methyl salicylate, used as a wintergreen flavoring agent in candies, gums, and medicines, has a unique spectroscopic property—it absorbs ultraviolet light but emits blue light. You can witness this effect for yourself. Take a wintergreen Life-Saver into a very dark room with a mirror. Place the candy between your teeth and quickly bight down, holding your lips (and eyes) open. You will see blue 'sparks' from the methyl salicylate! It is believed that methyl salicylate undergoes a large geometry change in its excited state; and that it is this geometry change that causes the shift in emission (from UV to blue light). Our research group will study phenomena (excited state proton transfer and excited state hydrogen atom transfer) in molecules such as methyl salicylate, using computer software to determine which model best describes the excited state dynamics responsible for the red shifted emission.
Modeling excited state using computer software is complicated by the large data files and memory-intensive calculations that are required. A simple PC does not have enough computing power to run the calculations. Only a supercomputer, or its equivalent, running 64-bit processes is capable of performing the calculations necessary to describe the excited state of a dynamic system like methyl salicylate. Ball State has such a computer—the College of Science and Humanities Beowulf cluster. PC computers capable of running high-end graphical software will be used to access the cluster.
Chemical Education Research Using Computers
As society becomes more dependent on multimedia for entertainment and communication, students will utilize multimedia to learn subject matter. Our research group will work on the creation of a website to assist students in the laboratory of a chemistry course for the health sciences. The first part to this project is to create the working website. The second part is to survey and test the students who use this website, as well as those who do not, to find which students have a better understanding of the lab experiments and to determine if there is any correlation between the student's understanding of the laboratory material and their exam performance in the lecture. Base on these results, improvements would be made to the website—and perhaps even the laboratory experiments. Ultimately, the goal of this research project would be to create an interactive website accessible to the students to confirm that on-line multimedia can be used to facilitate the learning of complex chemical information.

"This was a really nice announcement. It was supper easy to personalize, I tried many variations before deciding. I even put an extra picture on the back. Ordering was a snap. The shipping was really quick, in fact I was surprised how fast they came. The paper was a nice quality, and the printing was perfect. Everyone who received one commented on how cute they were (of course a cute baby will do that!). I feel like these announcements were a good value. I will definitely order from TinyPrints again."
"I was looking for a card that was simple, classic, and showcased my sion's picture. This card did exactly that without being boring. The pale green coloring is gorgeous and really completed my picture that had a white background.I have received many complements on the card."
"I love the selection of cards from tinyprints! The website is very user friendly and the template is so easy to use!! Delivery from the time i placed my order to arrival at my door was soooooo quick. I placed my order on may 27th and received my order on may 30th. My order was also being delivered to Canada! The card looked exactly as it did on the website so I was very happy! The quality of paper really impressed me as it was a heavy stock! I love this card design!! Super cute and super fun!!! I definitely will be a returning customer!! :)"
"I couldn't be happier with this announcement! It is simple and classic in design. The card stock is very heavy and the photo quality is beautiful. Everyone has commented it's the prettiest announcement they have ever received. I would highly recommend this as the perfect choice!"
"perfect card- after long contemplating and getting help from tiny prints this turned out to be the perfect card. Tiny prints was also able to add the design on the back. Beyond wonderful service!"
