I sat down a few days ago with a Watch from every week this past year. My intention was to separate the most interesting arts stories from the rest, and write about them in this column.
I couldn't do it. I riffled through each paper and set it aside. In the end, all I had managed to do was move the entire pile from one side of my lap to the other.
Such is the incredible diversity and quality of the arts in this region that each week there is something opening in a gallery – or screening in a cinema – or playing on a stage – worthy of one's precious time in an area so drenched with natural beauty, with so many tempting alternatives in the out-of-doors, you wonder why any artist would bother to compete.
The truth is, artists and craftspeople don't "compete." They just do what they do. The poet Kierstin Bridger has likened the artistic process to spinning pennies on a table. "We can't really determine the trajectory" of a poem or coin, she pointed out in this column several months ago, as "so many variables are out of our hands." Most days, she went on, artists don't even know or notice how the work will turn out: "That is usually determined in hindsight. We just have to show up for the process." What follows is a highly personal selection of artistic highlights from the past year.
I am grateful for the Telluride Film Festival, the cinematic juggernaut that delivered odds-on Oscar nominees including the Coen brothers' U.S. premiere of Inside Llewyn Davis, and Bruce Dern's star turn in Nebraska, and Robert Redford in All Is Lost (among many other highlights) this past year. I am also thankful for Mountainfilm in all its iterations, not only in Telluride as a "proper" festival each spring, but in its numerous presentations in Ouray, Ridgway and Montrose throughout the rest of the year. Most of all, I appreciate the taste and vision of local curators who screen worthy films year round. Avid cinema buff Pam Ferman has kept up a steady dribble of acclaimed, intriguing, independent Almost Every Wednesday Night movies at the Wright Opera House, for example – films like Before Midnight, the third and (to my mind) best of the acclaimed Richard Linklater "Before Sunrise" trilogy starring Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy, and Sound City, a documentary on the fabled Van Nuys recording studio revived by Dave Grohl (who also directed and financed the film). Meanwhile, Second Sunday Cinema at the Fox Theatre in Montrose, under the guidance of Kay Lair, Linda Munson-Haley, and Jim Daley, screened the documentary Twenty Feet From Stardom about the lives of backup singers in the pop music world, and a free screening of Chasing Ice, a documentary by National Geographic James Balog's attempt to chronicle climate change. The Fox's first presentation of Chasing Ice was such a success, it returned the next week – for free. Other terrific free films came with appetizers and beverages at the Wilkinson Library, where horror-movie buffs Erika Moss Gordon and TFF Director Gary Meyer programmed The Undead, a set of classic films under the auspices of TFF Cinematheque. This fall, Cinematheque unveiled They Came to Telluride, a film series that is still ongoing about the influential, international female moviemakers who have brought their work to TFF.
Theatre was also thriving in this region last year, and the busy artistic director of Telluride Theatre, Sasha Sullivan, contributed more than her share with her acclaimed production of the Broadway musical Hair at the Palm last March, and Dinner With Dionysus, an original production about a raucous, ribald meal the Greek God of Wine at the Ah Haa School last August. Thanks to Sparky Productions and the Palm, Kenneth Branagh's seminal performance as Macbeth was in Telluride, too, also at the Palm. Down the road, the Tony-award-winning play Art played at the Wright Opera House, as did Jake Abel's take on Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead. And the Magic Circle Players community theatre in Montrose now in its 54th year of continuous operation, presented the acclaimed Broadway comedy-drama Bus Stop and the Tony Award-winning musicals Man of La Mancha and 1776.
Jake Abel, a Ouray High School graduate, returned from college to direct his staged reading of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern with the Ouray County Players. He had been back the previous fall before to oversee the staging of T. S. Eliot's Murder in the Cathedral and "After Eliot, we needed some laughs," he said. Young people shone on stage, or behind the scenes, all year, in performances as disparate as Jesus Christ Superstar (from Telluride Middle School students, under the direction of Angela Watkins) and The Polar Express (reimagined and re-choreographed for a cast of over 100, ages 2 to 18, by Natasha Pyeatte for Weehawken Arts in Montrose). Re-imagining is what Jen Julia at the Sheridan Arts Foundation Young People's Theater does with every production; she always writes her own scripts and, often, music and lyrics. This spring, her 12 high school students performed Godspell, and this winter, her young thespians performed You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown.
And then there was art, and history. And where the two intersected last year, there often seemed to be ladies of the night., and the Telluride Historical Museum. Poet Kierstin Bridger wrote a "sort of elegy" about these women "and the children they may never have had" last spring. The poem, entitled Baby Names, was inspired by a beautiful, ornate steamer trunk from the Telluride Historical Museum; the Museum unveiled its own exhibit on this topic, entitled Telluride's Red Light District, just a few weeks ago. And Eileen Benjamin, perhaps best known for her own landscape photography of this region, instead used photos by others as a jumping off point for her mixed-media exhibit entitled Fabric of a Woman, which included images of nurses, mothers, nuns and women of the night at the Historical Museum last March. "As women, we're strong, smart, independent. We're weak," Benjamin explained, "And that's what this exhibit is all about."
Speaking of the Telluride Historical Museum brings me to honorable mentions and awards, another theme of the past year. The museum's Powerful Currents exhibit, the story of hydroelectricity in the San Juans, won an honorable mention for the Josephine H. Miles Award from History Colorado, and the museum was also selected to participate in the Smithsonian's Institute's Places of Invention exhibition project in 2014 – one of just seven museums in the U.S. to earn the distinction. And in June, both Telluride and Ridgway won Creative District certification and a $15,000 grant from the State of Colorado. It's been estimated that some 90 percent of Ridgway's residents are artisans, and the town used some of its Creative District funding to inaugurate its MoonWalk series, a monthly foray into the local galleries and studios. One was an Alley Walk, which showcased hidden poetry around town; another was a participatory outing, in which residents were encouraged to decorate Hartwell Park. Poetry became increasingly popular last year: in addition to Alley Art in Ridgway, the Open Bard Poetry Series launched at the Sherbino Theater, monthly poetry-readings at Arroyo in Telluride continued, and just recently at the Steaming Bean a poetry series has debuted that is entitled – perhaps in an ironic nod to the town's most recent exhibits involving ladies-of-the-evening – Bean Brothel. And then there were the visual arts. Too many to list, though a few favorites include Meredith Nemirov's Twelve Views of Lone Cone, a project she launched in Aspen, worked on in Spain and exhibited in Telluride; Jeff Burch's meticulously researched The Peaks of Telluride, which catalogues every mountain (and how it got its name) surrounding town; and Painting Side by Side, a glowing collection of local peaks and valleys by partners-in-paint as well as life, Ilene Green and George Kernan at the Ridgway Library. Perhaps most moving of all wasn't a film, or a book, or a poem or a play, but a talk I had with Stash Wislocki recounting his experience at Kakuma, a camp of 100,000 refugees in Northern Kenya he visited for the charity Film Aid. I figured he would simply tell me about the presentation he was about to give at the Sherbino on his trip to Africa, but Wislocki made it personal. "I feel tremendously lucky," he said. "I get to do a lot of activism and art for social change at home." (Wislocki is the producer of Mountainfilm, and the executive director of the Telluride AIDS Benefit.) Even so, his time at Kakuma was more gratifying than anything he'd ever done. "Nothing in my life has been as rewarding or just plain powerful," Wislocki said, "than being in a refugee camp for a few weeks, getting a chance to make life better for people who don't get a lot of joy or light in their own lives."

Welcome to Hooked Up, the Gaming Nexus series that puts the spotlight on gaming related products that impact the Video Game experience. This week we take a look at BD&A - Rock Band Replacement Drum Sticks.
What is it?
The official Rock Band branded replacement drumsticks.
Product Quick Reference
Rock Band Drum Sticks
Product Website
While traversing my local Best Buy, my eye was caught by these multi-colored drumsticks that had the Rock Band logo all over them. Intrigued, I decided to grab a couple of pairs (Red and Black) because they simply looked a hell of a lot cooler than my plain vanilla sticks that came with the game.
I noticed a couple of things immediately when I cracked these sticks open for the first time. When I gripped them, I realizes that the glossy paint job was a lot slicker than the basic finish on the regular Rock Band sticks. Anyone that has played Rock Band knows that you can work up a sweat if you are playing on anything harder than easy. After playing with them for a few hours, I decided that the paint probably won't cause too many issues. However, I did have it slip in my hand a couple times, but it never went flying across the room like a Wii remote.
The other thing is that the tips are much larger than the stock Rock Band sticks. This could be good or bad depending on personal preference. I found it definitely impacted the feel of the sticks on the drum pads at first, but I got used to it over time. It also seemed to help me the way I play, as I was striking the face of the drum more and not the edge so much.
One other thing I noticed with the two sets I bought, is that they are not perfectly uniform. For the cost, I wasn't expecting it, but onset (the bred ones) has a 1/8 difference from tip to tail, and the tip on one was milled at an angle. The other set was not as far off, but wasn't uniform either.
Bigger Tip
Slick Paint
Look Great
Not Uniform
Relatively Inexpensive
Gaming Impact
The impact of getting these sticks will range from huge to none at all. It is all about the individual player and their preferences. The coating on the sticks and the larger tip can easily alter the way someone plays the game, while others may either not notice it at all. In actuality, they impact the game by providing a more glitzy version of the basic amenity every drummer needs. I have switched to them full time, as the larger tip seems to assist me while playing.
The Skinny
The replacement sticks for Rock Band work quite well, and like any piece of equipment, should only get better as they are broken in. The look good, are available in multiple colors and seemed to help my game while not being overly expensive at $7.99 for a pair. Despite the irregularities in their size and the angle of the tip, it did not seem to make a difference while I was playing. If you have the extra cash, you can purchase them in both red and black and have a set of sticks (including the originals) for any occasion. If you don't have extra money lying around, you could do without these, but I would strongly suggest them if you need a replacement set.
Where to Find/Buy
The Rock Band Replacement Drum Sticks can be found at
and the Official Store on the
Rock Band Site

My grandson enjoys the school so much that he wanted to attend summer school. His grade point average was 3.8 and he did not have that need. He is so excited about giong back because of the teachers and his love of math and reading. Plus he has great friends there. The curriculum is excellent and well rounded with a focus on academic, the arts, physical fitness and parent involvement. T
My son attends kindergarten at this school. His teachers Ms. Felix and Ms. Austin are phenomenal. My son is now reading above grade level and is excelling in math. I will recommend this school to every parent. The teachers are very dedicated and express a personal interest in their students
Students are happy and engaged. However principal leadership is very poor.Teachers are excellent, .Center City as school system is wonderful but the principal has to go with new leadership this school can be prosperous.

One of the main solutions to climate change which has long been pushed by the powers that be…Read More– cap and trade – is a scam. Specifically: The economists who invented cap-and-trade say that it won't work for global warming. Many environmentalists say that carbon trading won't effectively reduce carbon emissions. Our bailout buddies over at Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley, Citigroup and the other Wall Street behemoths are buying heavily into carbon trading (see this, this, this, this, this and this). As University of Maryland professor economics professor and former Chief Economist at the U.S. International Trade Commission Peter Morici writes: Obama must ensure that the banks use the trillions of dollars in federal bailout assistance to renegotiate mortgages and make new loans to worthy homebuyers and businesses. Obama must make certain that banks do not continue to squander federal largess by padding executive bonuses, acquiring other banks and pursuing new high-return, high-risk lines of businesses in merger activity, carbon trading and complex derivatives. Industry leaders like Citigroup have announced plans to move in those directions. Many of these bankers enjoyed influence in and contributed generously to the Obama campaign. Now it remains to be seen if a President Obama can stand up to these same bankers and persuade or compel them to act responsibly. In other words, the same companies that made billions off of derivatives and other scams and are now getting bailed out on your dime are going to make billions from carbon trading.

Allison Herwitt
Vice President for Government Affairs
Allison Herwitt is the Vice President for Government Affairs for the Human Rights Campaign—where she has spearheaded the organization's federal legislative work and lobbying efforts on Capitol Hill during a period of unprecedented success for the LGBT movement.
Since joining HRC in 2006, she has led HRC into successful coalitions advocating for the passage of the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act, the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell, the enactment of an LGBT-inclusive Violence Against Women Act, and the recent passage of a fully-inclusive Employment Non-Discrimination Act in the United States Senate. By pairing the knowledge, relationships and insight of HRC's experienced lobbying shop with the smart and strategic activation of HRC's more than 1.5 million members and supporters around the country, Allison and her team have built the bipartisan congressional coalitions necessary to get historic legislation done, time and time again. Under her watch, HRC's annual Congressional Scorecard has become a one-stop-shop for LGBT and ally voters to determine which elected officials on Capitol Hill are standing on the right side of history.
Prior to joining HRC, she spent eleven years at NARAL Pro-Choice America, first as a lobbyist and later as the Director of Government Relations. In those roles, she coordinated and enhanced legislative strategy, helping to position the organization as the political arm of the pro-choice movement.
Previously, she served as a public policy advocate for New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, specializing in welfare reform, employment and child care issues. Herwitt also gained considerable political experience and first-hand knowledge of the legislative process during a six-year career on Capitol Hill with two women members of Congress, Representatives Marge Roukema and Susan Molinari. She played an instrumental role in shaping their legislative agendas in the areas of education, women's health, reproductive health, economic equity and child care. During her time on Capitol Hill, she served as Legislative Co-Chair of the Capitol Hill Women's Political Caucus. In this capacity, she was involved with the drafting of the first-ever sexual harassment policy for Capitol Hill offices.
Herwitt holds a bachelor's degree in political science and women's studies from Goucher College in Baltimore.

What is the best way to park your car for a days stay researching in the USF Library?ReplyDelete
I'm not sure, we were there on a Saturday and used Pam's handicap sticker so we had no problem parking.ReplyDelete
You might email the Special Collections folks and ask them. They are very accomadating to visitors and would probably be able to help you.
Their email and phone number are on the website.
The special collections librarian did say the best time to come was during the summer when the parking is better. She also said not to come at the beginning of the school year or near the end. You could have parked anywhere on Sat because classes are over and there was a lot of parking available.

"Getting used to the accents here is definitely one of the biggest differences I had to get used to," Cohen said. "When I first got here, there were a few words I wasn't sure what people were saying, but it's kind of caught on with me."
Accents aren't the only thing that will leave an imprint on Cohen though.
"Being at Arkansas has been a huge change for me," the former Raider standout said. "It's just been a learning and growing experience for me and I've really enjoyed it. I really love it here and I love the people and the town.
"I've just really enjoyed it and the time I've had with my coaches and teammates. This year has just been really exciting. We've worked really hard and it's finally paying off. We're kind of rallying around each other and going as big as we can."
And going big is just what the Razorbacks have done thus far this season. While Arkansas has left a mark on Cohen, Cohen and her Razorback teammates are definitely leaving their mark on the softball program.
This season the Razorbacks have seen unheralded success on the softball diamond. Heading into its final series of the regular season, Arkansas currently sits at 31-17 overall and 9-10 in the Southeastern Conference, garnering the first Top 25 ranking in program history.
Part of the reason the Razorbacks are currently ranked No. 22 in the nation is thanks to Cohen, one of their senior leaders. Cohen helped Arkansas crack the Top 25 with a sweep of Georgia, a first for the program, in which Cohen started all three games, giving up four runs over 16 innings of work from the circle. Cohen has earned a 13-8 record this season, starting 21 games and making 29 appearances. Over 121 2/3 innings pitched, she has a 2.93 ERA with 130 strikeouts. Recently, the Razorbacks topped No. 2 Tennessee, the ninth ranked opponent they have defeated this season.
"I wouldn't want to go out any other way," Cohen said. "I couldn't have asked for better teammates or a better coaching staff. It's just so fun with it being my last season to leave it all out there each time we go out on the field. We've really taken down some big teams. Just to have that confidence and not being scared of the name on the front of the jersey that's in the other dugout, it's awesome. I can't think of a better way to end my career."
As Cohen's time on the softball field winds down, so does her time on the Arkansas campus and in the classroom. Next week, Cohen will officially earn a degree in hotel/restaurant management and hospitality. However, she will not walk at the graduation ceremony because the Razorbacks will be taking part in the SEC Tournament. Cohen said while missing out on that moment is a bit of a disappointment, it doesn't take away from her accomplishments.
"It's really cool that I got to live out my dream and play softball and get my degree while I was at it," she said. "I've really enjoyed all my classes and the school is really supportive and now I'm ready to get my career started. I think Arkansas has set me up for success."
As for the work left on the diamond, Cohen is hoping the Razorbacks go just a little bit bigger than they already have.
"As far as team accomplishments, we definitely we want to be in Oklahoma City at the end of the year playing with the top teams. Personally, I really want to put the team on my back and do the best that I can to get us as far as we can. I've never really been huge on stats, so all that really matters to me is where we end up as a team as a whole."

On Saturday evening Leighton and Dianne Siegel were asleep in their home on the 700 block of Woodridge Drive, by Pickerel Lake, when they were awoken by the thunderstorm that spawned two confirmed tornadoes in Burnsville and Eagan.
Leighton Siegel said there was no doubt in his mind that a tornado swept through Mendota Heights.
"We were woken up about 11 o'clock, and it sounded like an airplane flying through our backyard," Siegel said. "I don't think it could be anything else [but a tornado] because it sounded very localized."
The National Weather Service's report on the storm shows an area of "sporadic tree/powerline damage" near Interstate 494 and Highway 13, but does not confirm any tornades touching down within the boundaries of Mendota Heights.
"The damage that occurred in Mendota Heights, Lilydale, and portions of West St. Paul were related to 75 mph straight line winds," according to the NWS report.
On Sunday morning the Siegels drove around their neighborhood and found that wind and fallen trees—multiple evergreens and one willow—had damaged "10 or 12 houses" and taken out powerlines. (Thousands of Xcel Energy customers lost power in the storm.)
Leighton Siegel, a retired otolaryngologist and amateur photographer, said his home was unharmed.
We "are now beginning to realize how lucky we were to have just been missed by the wind storm," he said. "The damage of this storm somehow passed right next to our home."
More photos of the damage from the storm are available at Siegel's website.

The first U.S.A. fragrance is a game of contrasts: warm, woodsy notes and an unexpected freshness that conjure up the line's relaxed attitude and its unmistakable masculinity. The bottle has a vintage look with a spring-loaded cap inspired by antique beer bottles and a topper reminiscent of an old subway token. For the ad campaign, a hand with six fingers makes a peace sign, a Varvatos signature. The line reads "A new fragrance for your sixth sense."
"This new fragrance is about taking a risk, pushing the walls out and doing something a little different," says John.

Countries demand greater agricultural rights
The FAO Seed Treaty would address the issues of the global agricultural system.
The International Planning Committee on Food Sovereignty (IPC) met recently to decide the future of the FAO Seed Treaty (ITPGRFA), an agreement seeking to address the issues of the global agricultural system by protecting seed diversity and implementing peasants' rights. The debate was an important milestone ahead of the scheduled food crisis summit in Rome in November and the UN climate summit in Copenhagen in December.
25 countries, representing peasant, pastoralist, and indigenous organizations took part in the treaty negotiations. After two days, the representatives demanded the following:
- In light of the food emergency there must be a suspension of all intellectual property rights and other regulations that prevent farmers from saving and exchanging non-GMO seed.
- There must be a major financial commitment to save seed in the field, for the conservation of genetic diversity in the field, and to prevent and monitor biopiracy.
- There must be an end to the monopoly practices of multinational seed companies who are controlling seeds.
- Governments must involve farmers in decision making every step of the way, and must implement the treaty's decision on Farmers' Rights.

Dudy Noble Field, Polk-DeMent Stadium
Dudy Noble Field, Polk-DeMent Stadium, regarded as one of nation's premier venues for college baseball, approaches a significant milestone during the 2013 campaign.
The 2013 season marks the 47th season of baseball at the current site of Mississippi State baseball's on-campus home field, Dudy Noble Field. And in the 46 seasons since MSU first settled into its current on-campus baseball home in 1967, Mississippi State has registered 998 wins, prevailing in more than 73 percent of the 1,366 contests it has hosted over the past six decades.
MSU's baseball home has evolved into the nation's largest campus facility for college baseball and what many regard as the sport's finest all-around baseball complex.
The field is named in honor of longtime MSU baseball coach, athletic director and ABCA Hall of Famer Clarke Randolph "Dudy" Noble. And on April 27, 1998 the facility was renamed Dudy Noble Field, Polk-DeMent Stadium, honoring another ABCA Hall of Famer, former Bulldog skipper Ron Polk and the late Gordon DeMent, a successful businessman and longtime fan of the Baseball Bulldogs from Indianola, Miss.
MSU has eclipsed the 200,000 mark in paid attendance at Dudy Noble Field five times in the past 10 years, including a school-record 233,015 in 2003 and a school-best average of 6,939 during MSU's run to the 2007 NCAA College World Series. Since home attendance figures were first charted in 1976, the home of the Diamond Dogs has drawn more than 4.5 million fans.
Dudy Noble Field, the home to seven Southeastern Conference championship teams, has twice hosted crowds in excess of 14,000, including an NCAA on-campus-record 14,991 that watched the Bulldogs take on SEC Eastern Division rival Florida in a Saturday twinbill in 1989. State has played in front of home crowds of 10,000 or better 25 times, including NCAA Super Regional-record draws of 13,715 and 12,620 in 2007 for nationally-televised late morning games against Clemson. The MSU-Florida State championship matchup of the 1990 NCAA South II Regional drew an NCAA regional on-campus record 11,496 to Dudy Noble Field. DNF heads the NCAA's listing of the top nine and 15 of the top 25 home attendance figures.
MSU has hosted three NCAA District III tournaments (1973, 1974 and 1975), five SEC tournaments (1979, 1981, 1983, 1988 and 1995), 11 NCAA Regional tournaments (1979, 1984, 1985, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1992, 1997, 2000 and 2003) and its first NCAA Super Regional in 2007.
From 1929 until 1964, Mississippi State played its home baseball games at the original on-campus site for Dudy Noble Field located several hundred yards to the south of Scott Field, State's football stadium. The baseball field was closed following the 1964 season to make way for the construction of Dorman Hall. And for the next two seasons, while the "new" Dudy Noble Field was being built, the Diamond Dogs played their home games in nearby Columbus, Miss., at Redbird Park, capturing SEC titles both seasons at their temporary home In Lowndes County. Meanwhile, the tin-roofed grandstand and 2,000-seat bleachers at the old field were moved to the stadium's present site, which became playable for the 1967 season.
Facility enhancements have followed a steady pace over the years ever since.
In 1971, thanks to the generosity of the late E.B. "Dutch" McCool, a former MSU baseball player and one of the founding fathers of Holiday Inns, Inc., MSU took the lead in the Southeastern Conference with the installation of a lighting system. The advent of night baseball in Starkville helped build a solid fan base. Drainage and irrigation systems and an expanded scoreboard with an animation-equipped message center, new batting ranges and an infield tarp became the stadium's next improvements.
Mississippi State hosted its first SEC Baseball Tournament and NCAA Regional in 1979, winning both and setting attendance marks while opening eyes along the way.
The crowds mushroomed further in the 1980s as future Major League stars Jeff Brantley, Will Clark, Rafael Palmeiro and Bobby Thigpen helped the 1985 Bulldogs win the SEC championship, host and win another regional championship and earn MSU's highest national finish, a tie for third place at the NCAA College World Series.
It became apparent that support for baseball at State had easily out-grown its cozy Dudy Noble Field facility. Two years after that magical '85 season Mississippi State unveiled a dramatic advancement for its baseball facilities - an impressive $3.5 million project that would give MSU the biggest baseball stadium in the league.
The new facility at Dudy Noble Field, built in less than nine months, featured an impressive concrete grandstand structure with 3,700 maroon theater-style seats, a spacious elevated press box, and rest room, ticket, souvenir and concession-vending facilities. The team clubhouse included a spacious 40-locker dressing room and team area. A pair of 1,500-seat bleachers that once overlooked the end zones at Scott Field, the home of MSU's football Bulldogs, were refurbished and installed along the foul lines, raising seating capacity at Dudy Noble Field to 6,700. The facility was later chosen by Sports Illustrated as the best play to watch college baseball, and it helped ignite a drive to update baseball facilities throughout the SEC and beyond.
The expanded capacity at the stadium also triggered an increase in MSU's annual baseball season ticket base to more than 5,600, virtually assuring Mississippi State's place among national leaders in college baseball attendance every year.
A second permanent concession stand was added in 1989, and a year later, the cinder warning track at the outfield fence was extended to completely encircle the playing field. That project, along with the installation of a six-foot high padded outfield fence, was made possible by a donation by former MSU All-American and Major League standout Will Clark.
Best-selling author, MSU alumnus and avid MSU baseball fan John Grisham donated funding in 1993 for an indoor batting range under the first base grandstand, and in August 1998 construction got started on an ambitious project that added 18 sky suites and more than 600 additional chairback seats in the grandstand. When it was completed during the 2000 season, permanent seating capacity at Dudy Noble Field had eclipsed the 7,000 mark.
The aura of Mississippi State baseball at Dudy Noble Field is certainly not confined to the loyal legions in the impressive grandstand, pro-style luxury sky suites and bleachers.
In fact, some of the more highly-prized seats at Bulldog Baseball games are found beyond the outfield fence in the "Left Field Lounge". Waiting lists greet those seeking to purchase one of nearly 75 renewable season parking passes for an assigned position in one of three rows beyond the outfield fence. There, a colorful assortment of pickup trucks, motor homes, and trailers - most equipped with barbecue grills - line the outfield fence, completing a circle of humanity at Dudy Noble Field.
What began in the late 1960s as a popular gathering spot for baseball-loving MSU students now forms college baseball's largest tailgate party. A 10-foot wide boardwalk has since been added to the area between the outfield fence and the front row of outfield terrace parking.
Not surprisingly, MSU annually ranks among the nation's leaders in attendance, and each year Dudy Noble Field routinely hosts games with the Southeastern Conference's largest actual attendance. SEC weekend games typically draw the largest crowds, giving rise to huge weekend gatherings in the spring. Six of the last eight three-game Super Bulldog Weekend series have drawn more than 25,000, including an SEC series-record 29,915 fans that watched the 2006 MSU-Georgia series.
Still, the improvements continue at Dudy Noble Field: 46-foot "major league" foul poles (2003), a new state-of-the-art scoreboard/message center, courtesy of the Henry Mize Foundation and new fencing and gates surrounding the main grandstand (2004), the Palmeiro Center, a massive 68,000-square foot climate-controlled turfed indoor practice facility (2005) made possible by a generous lead gift from former MSU great Rafael Palmeiro and his wife Lynne, the baseball coaches office complex (2005), funded by contributions from former Bulldog players Jeff Brantley, Will Clark, Eric DuBose, Paul Maholm, Jay Powell and Bobby Thigpen and former MSU manager James "Bo" McKinnis.
Mississippi State's baseball complex received a boost with the addition of the Bryce Griffis Boardroom, a $1.5 million, meeting/banquet hall extension on the south end of the Palmeiro Center. The facility features banquet seating for approximately 350.
Facility upgrades totaling more than $2 million over the past four years include an expanded high definition video board and message "ribbon board", the installation of a new drainage and irrigation system along with a new carpet of natural sod and infield dirt, and expanded dugouts. Even the grandstand got a little grander with a resurfacing and repainting project topped by all-new cupholder-equipped maroon chairback seats (2011) and the latest enhancement, the installation of a new stadium-wide sound system.
These latest facility enhancements continue an on-going Mississippi State campaign to maintain the standing of Dudy Noble Field' as one of the nation's premier venues for college baseball.

I am an interior designer, writer, and entrepreneur located in Austin, TX.
Born and raised a Texas girl, I even had my own pony growing up named Lightning! During those childhood years, I always had a great sense of creativity and imagination which translated later in life into my design business, Hyphen Interiors. I have enjoyed fueling my passion and love inspiring others. Before Hyphen Interiors, I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin, worked as a graphic designer for a bit and later worked full time in youth ministry.
My passion for interior design began when I purchased my first home in 2006. My husband and I just recently purchased our fourth home, this time in Austin. We have also lived in Utah, Kansas and Arizona.
Designing my own home(s) showed me that beautiful spaces can be created on any budget. Soon helping my friends create comfortable, stylish spaces in their homes, evolved into a business where I help clients do the same. That is how Hyphen Interiors was born.
How would I describe my design style? Eclectic. Generally, I like to start with a neutral base, while putting a new spin on traditional items when possible. I like to mix it up – old and new, inexpensive and nicer pieces, vintage and contemporary. Then, I layer it all off with pops of vibrant color, pattern and fun art. Bold colors and graphic patterns really inspire me when creating new and beautiful spaces.
But, the most important thing when designing a space is that the room reflects the client's personality and taste. I want to help them achieve their vision or dream for the room. I named my company Hyphen Interiors because it's about me working with the clients and achieving a design together, more than my own personal style.
I would love to help you see your home with a fresh perspective and to create spaces that you can look forward to coming home to. I believe the home should be a sanctuary and a reflection of those inside. It's my greatest pleasure to inspire you and to destroy the myth that great style and a tight budget are mutually exclusive.
My work has been featured on sites such as the DIY Network, Apartment Therapy, Young House Love, eHow, as well as numerous design blogs.
Hyphen Interiors offers interior design services both online and in the Austin area.

The best hub is no hub. If you can find a nonstop flight schedule at a reasonable fare, take it, even if it means a little extra driving to a bigger airport at either end. No matter how smooth the process, compared with a nonstop, changing planes adds a minimum of two hours to your flight time and more likely four or five hours. Changing planes also increases your chances of delay, missed connections, misdirected baggage, and other such ills.

Hub to cut costs. Even on routes with nonstops, however, you can sometimes find a lower fare on connecting flights. I just received a press release from Finnair, for example, that promotes round-trips from its U.S. gateways to Moscow, via a Helsinki connection, that are about $200 less than round-trips from those same gateways just to Helsinki. For travel next spring, Polish airline LOT is currently pitching connections to a handful of major European cities through Warsaw that undercut nonstops by as much as $400. These cases illustrate a common situation on long-haul routes. Even though flying you nonstop costs the airline less than making you connect, airlines know that many of you will pay a premium for the convenience of a nonstop. The result: connecting fares that undercut nonstops. You see this quite often on long-haul trips within the U.S. and from the U.S. to Europe. The big airfare search engines are pretty good at posting these deals: On Expedia, for example, the summary box for any trip search often shows lower one-stop fares than nonstop fares.
Choose the most convenient hub. When you have a choice of hubs -- at roughly the same fares -- try to select the most convenient connecting itinerary.
-- Total flight time usually trumps other reasons for choosing a connecting itinerary. And, contrary to what you might think, the shortest distance usually isn't as big an influence as the connecting time. If you're flying from Chicago to Europe, for example, an Atlanta connection may involve more miles than a connection in New York, but a shorter connecting time may offset the mileage difference.
-- Try to avoid hubs with a bad history of delays. According to a recent trade report, the most delay-prone U.S. international connecting hubs are O'Hare, Miami, Newark, JFK, San Francisco, and Baltimore; the best are Charlotte, Houston Bush, Dulles, and Seattle-Tacoma.
-- Overseas, most travelers give high marks to the big Asian airports. In Europe, most travelers I know avoid London and Paris when they can and instead hub through Amsterdam, Munich, or Zurich. Helsinki is apparently an easy hub, as is Reykjavik on flights to/from Northern Europe. Try to avoid hubs with multiple and separated terminal buildings, especially if you have to connect between two different airlines. You may have to leave and re-enter security.
-- Avoid connecting at a U.S. hub on an inbound international itinerary. Typically, you have to claim your baggage, go through customs, leave the security area and re-enter the check-in system -- baggage and security. By contrast, most big international hubs outside the U.S. let connecting travelers remain in "transit" status without having to check in all over again.
Clearly, you often have limited choice of hubs. In those cases, just make sure you leave enough connecting time to compensate for the occasional delay or glitch.

- Pro Cycling Comes Back To Colorado!
The USA Pro Cycling Challenge is finally under way! Mark Johnson writes in to give us a feel for the atmosphere at Colorado's first international bike race in over two decades…
It's been way too long since European level pro bike racing has been in Colorado. 23 years to be exact.
That's when the Coors Classic last blessed Colorado's nose-bleed height roads with the likes of Greg LeMond, who won it in 1985, and Bernard Hinault, who took the title the following year. Indomitable Frenchwoman Jeannie Longo won the women's race three times.
Well, the best in the world are back, including the top three from this year's Tour de France, Cadel Evans and brothers Andy and Franck Schleck. Along with a stacked Garmin-Cervélo team, they are here for the inaugural USA Pro Cycling Challenge.

I've spent a sizeable amount of my career on midnight shift, and of all the excitement, all the different things I've seen and done, that is the one word that comes to mind.
It's funny how you get to a point working 12-day shifts (hang tight, I'll explain why that's awesome instead of horrible) and as weeks blur into months, and months into years…it becomes an all-consuming quest. Even now, I'm writing this column and it's all I'm thinking about: sleep.
There are unlikely places to do it. Court comes to mind.
We sit on these clearly intentionally uncomfortable solid wood armless benches and have the mundane traffic offenses of the universe paraded before us while assistant district sttorneys use the time to begin the day's work of negotiating sentences before they go before the judges, and we're doing this in a courtroom that starts an hour after our all-night shift has ended. What do I surmise from all this? They must want us to sleep. So who am I to argue?
The trick to sleeping in court is you learn to "zombify". You slip just below consciousness, but above all-out snoring…programming your brain to respond to only your name or badge number to bring you out of your haze, like a hypnotist bringing out a patient they've put under. The first time I installed an "app killer" on my smartphone, it immediately made me think of my brain in court. OK, except for the "smart" part…but this is how we can sleep damn near anywhere; it's just perfected in the judicial environment.
We work 12-day shifts because to work five and take two off like normal people, we'd spend one day asleep (or zombified) from being up the night before, maybe have one full day off, then have to stay up all day then night that first night back, only to have your sleep ruined four days later all over again. With a 12-day "work week", we combine those days off and get four off in a row. Oh, you still feel like baked hell, but you only ruin your sleep patterns twice a month instead of four times.
And sleeping at home? Single guys have it rough, but the ones living with someone (marriage, roommates, halfway house, etc.) are only slightly better off than those with kids.
Children are perfect, cherubic little sponges of knowledge and the beacon of hope for our collective futures, but to the third shifter, they are little bags of earthquake-inducing germs with megaphones welded to each hand and barbells for feet. Seem harsh? Well, then…you've never worked midnights.
Daylight is the other major enemy. If I'd recycled the aluminum foil I've used over a 12-year period to block out sunlight from various rooms, I'd be named in Al Gore's last will and testament.
At one particularly low point, I made a bed in a walk-in closet out of clothing covered with a comforter. Why? No windows—and it was wonderful. Well, except for the fact that I was a grown-ass man sleeping in a closet on a pile of clothes, and all the emasculating closet-related jokes that go with that from cop roommates. But I did it.
As I moved up in residences, I actually built out a room in a basement below my actual bedroom. Why? Same thing as the God-forsaken closet: No windows. Just imagine what it would take to ignore a California king, and instead choose an air mattress on a thinly covered concrete floor below it all. Add Enya and box fan for ambient noise? Babies don't sleep as well.

QTKit Framework Reference
The QuickTime Kit is a Objective-C framework (
QTKit.framework) with a robust and evolving API for manipulating time-based media. Introduced in OS X v10.4, the QuickTime Kit provides a set of Objective-C classes and methods designed for the basic manipulation of media, including movie playback, editing, import and export to standard media formats, among other capabilities. With the release of OS X v10.5 and the latest iteration of QuickTime 7, the reach and capability of the framework have been extended. The QuickTime Kit framework now includes the addition of 15 new classes, all designed to support professional-level video and audio capture, as well as pro-grade recording of media. Two additional classes, which support Core Animation layers for capture and movies, are also provided in the API.
Developers who work with the Cocoa Application Kit classes
NSMovie and
NSMovieView should move their applications to the QuickTime Kit framework in order to take advantage of the power and enhanced functionality of this API.

A few years ago the tracks on Hillyer-Robinson Parkway had large holes on both sides of the tracks. I had driven over that crossing the day before and everything was normal. The next day, I drove over it at night and almost got a concussion from hitting the roof while driving under the speed limit. There was no warning about a " bump." They are now working again on the same area with a large "bump." Again, no warning.
Everyone else puts up warnings as a safety precaution. The rail company should have to put up warning signs or be held responsible for any damages. I did find out a couple of years after the first incident to go to the railroad crossing and get the telephone number to call if your car sustained damage. Of course, it was too late for me to make a claim.
The holes they create are more dangerous than any I have encountered anywhere else that actually gives you a warning. So why doesn't the rail company have to put up signs warning motorists?

Sorry but this is just my opinion but thanks to DC's 52 version of Teen Titans & NOW's Superior Spiderman are going to make every version of Spiderman & Titans look like the works of Shakespeare, Alan Moore,and Neil Gaiman combine!

To paint comic books as childish and illiterate is lazy. A lot of comic books are very literate - unlike most films.
Somewhere on an alternate earth Captain America is a member of the JSA
That bad, eh?
Not sure what specifically Superboy Sr. is referring to with the current Teen Titans, because I dropped it quite a while ago. As to Superior Spider-Man, from what I've read online, apparently (don't read on if you don't want spoilers)
end of spoilers
Doc Ock swaps minds with Peter Parker, leaving Peter to "die" in Ock's old, terminally ill body, and Doc Ock taking over Spider-Man's body. The series is supposed to consist of Octavius trying to be a hero as Spider-Man. Not sure who thought this was a good idea, but it does make the Clone Saga sound a little better by comparison.

One lab accident away from being a super-villain
Wouldn't this be more appropriate for the Spider-Man or DC boards?
Life looks better in black and white.
I agree it doesn't really belong here, but while it is, I'll dive in and say it's a ludicrous knee-jerk reaction. I have no idea (or interest) what's happening in Teen Titans, but the first issue of SSM isn't even out yet, and it's already being written off? Jeez, at least give it a few issues to see where they're going with it, and then if you don't like it write it off.
It won't be worse than the Clone Saga. It is impossible for something to suck worse than the Clone Saga without the universe collapsing in on itself like one giant black hole.
* * And now we've et our way down to the meat of this volume - It's the return of the Masters of Evil, the Baron Zemo-led group of villains who were the source of pretty much all the Avengers problems in the stories prior to these.
And I have to reiterate this every time the topic comes up - I love the original Masters of Evil! A comic that follows both the hero team AND the villain team through member changes and personality conflicts is a great idea, and one that Ihasn't, as far as I knwo, ever been re-used after the first coupla dozen issues of Avengers and X-men. This particular version is a combination of the previous MoE groups - The Melter and the Black Knight from version 1 along with the Executioner and the Enchantress from version 2.
* Although (and I gotta say this every time) the layout artist/finisher/inker method of comics production has never quite worked for me. The above panel's contrast of action (visceral horse-pavement-splatting action at that!) and Thor, standing quietly might work if Kirby drew it himself, but Heck's interpretation just looks slightly awkward to me - the balance between motion and non-motion just isn't quite there. I DO like Mike Esposito on inks, though - he's just a little better at using dark/light contrast (heck, he uses more "dark" in general) to give the proceedings a little more somber/moody feel, and he tends to clean up some of the goofity facial expressions. (Except for the Executioner. That dude ALWAYS looks like one of the Three Stooges. All "Nyuck, nyuck, nyuck!" or "Which way did they go!" or "Daaaaammmmn. Willya look at that! My eyes are gonna fall outta my head!"
* Another storytelling effect of using the Masters of Evil is the main villains is that it made newcomer Captain America seem important. After all, it was HIS arch-enemy that led the Masters, all bossing Asgardians around, and that (in a strange, roundabout way) made Captain America much more prominent. In this sequence, ferinstance, the whole 8 person, New York ravaging Avengers/Masters of Evil fight feels secondary to Cap chasing Baron Zemo around South America - And THAT sequence ends with real consequences (Zemo bites it) while the New York MoE team is beaten when Thor duex ex machinas half the Masters outta New York and the others just kind of slink away. (As Hoosier X points out, the poor, poor Melter is totally unphased by this. "Empty words, Giant Man! We'll beat you yet!" riiiggggggghhhht. )
* Which actually chronologically brings us up to the new team. ("Yay! Disneyland! Yay!") and I slowly realize I could probably write a book on Avengers # 16. I

One lab accident away from being a super-villain
I don't know anything about the current Titans, but I think the Superior Spider-Man thing could be fun if done well, and I've liked other things I've read by Dan Slott. It's easy enough to judge a premise:
Kid gets bit by a spider and then can climb walls and sense danger? Lame.
Swamp Thing isn't actually a guy but just some swamp stuff that thinks it's a guy and he's a plant elemental? WTF is that?
It's all about the execution. I personally like the idea of a bitter old man suddenly getting the power and vengeance he's always wanted and then having to figure out what to do afterward. I'll probably check out the trades.

If you didn't have your sets tuned to CBS Saturday afternoon, then you missed a heck of a performance by one of New York's (Harlem) own Jeremy Hazell, who is notoriously known all over the Apple as the Cabby or the Cab Driver.
He was originally named the "Haitian Cab Driver" by Kingdome announcer Taz at the Showboat Classic a few years back. I remember when I witnessed the Cabby make the game look too easy. It was like conjoined twins with a basketball at birth.
On Saturday, he showed the world he can ball for real as he scored 40 points and grabbed seven boards on national television. If Cabby continues to play the way he has been, I think he has a chance to go NBA lottery pick. What do you guys think?
Watch Hazell get real clutch at the end of the game in the clip above and don't forget to add Bounce Magazine on twitter by clicking right here.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"These arrived last night and I'm simply thrilled with the result.They are for my upcoming winter wedding at a ski resort in British Columbia. I went with rounded edges and paid to have the glossed finished! Perfect!"
"This invitation is unique and entirely charming. The flowers on the front and back look like chalk drawings, which will be easy to replicate on chalk boards at our reception. In person, the invitation looks luxe and super personal - as if we had it designed just for us. We added text to the back at the invitation at no extra charge, which was a huge bonus. I'd highly recommend this design."
"We chose this design for our invites, response cards, thank you cards, stickers and direction cards and are very happy. We picked the pearl shimmer paper which gives the invite a lovely glow. We asked the designer to change some of the font and got our names and the venues name start with capital letters but they look stunning either way! Also had them sent from California to Australia within 4 days. Very happy, good work."
"I ordered invitations and enclosure cards in this design for our bird-themed wedding and am extremely satisfied! I was able to customize the font colour of our names to match our wedding colours. I will be ordering the matching thank you cards in the next few months."
"We loved this invitation, it will fit perfectly with our outdoor spring wedding. The paper is just like a watercolor paper so it looks like someone painted each invitation by hand. We requested that the type be made a little bigger and we were glad we did. They look great!"

Finding holiday gifts that stand the test of time, and that fit within your budget doesn't take a lot of effort. Try these simple tips as you start to check items off your holiday shopping list:
Quality clothing - If you have a fashionista on your shopping list, you can do well this holiday season by looking for something for her wardrobe. Be sure to browse online and check out the fashions at sites like Macy's. Once you find something that is perfect for the recipient, then purchase the gift through Ebates.com so you can take advantage of coupons, special deals and even earn cash back on your purchase. It's a great way to help you stay within budget.
Something living - Many green-thumbed people will love receiving a plant for their home, or one they can eventually plant in their backyard. If your recipient loves plants or trees, consider gifting them with a beautiful flowering bush, or a vine plant that does well with artificial light. If they have an office that could use a little greening, look for plants that won't grow too big too quickly, don't require frequent watering and flourish in artificial lighting. Because plants come in a variety of sizes and styles, you'll be able to find the perfect gift that matches your budget.
Everyday use - Kitchen dishes and utensils are used daily, and put through a lot of stress between the dishwasher, being used in the microwave and for eating up to three meals a day. Consider gifting your loved one with new everyday dishes or utensils - something that matches their kitchen decor. Ebates.com has coupons and special offers available for kitchen tools and gadgets from stores like Target, and when you shop through the site, you will receive cash back sent to you in the mail. It's a great way to keep on top of your budgeting this holiday season.
Because you choose to give your loved ones long-lasting gifts, the recipients on your holiday shopping list will still be using those gifts for years to come. And you can pat yourself on the back, because you didn't overspend this holiday season.
