1978 Trans Am Presto Chango!
The killer gold Trans Am you see before you is not the car the Optima officials at the Optima Street Car Faceoff at Road America saw blasting around those pucker-inducing curves. No, this one is much better. The car they saw was the previous incarnation of Telly Violetto's favorite gold Trans Am that he's owned since he was 16. Violetto rolled in with a good looking, but mostly stock car sporting little in the way of suspension upgrades. Despite that, he proceeded to drive the TA as hard as it would allow and had a great time. The officials were so impressed that they awarded him the Spirit of the Event award, providing his golden ticket to SEMA and the OUSCI.
Blown away, Violetto knew he had to seize the opportunity and turn the Trans Am into the car of his dreams. After the Faceoff at Road America, he took it home and completely disassembled it, starting over from scratch. The chassis was stiffened with subframe connectors and the rear was mini-tubbed to make room for more meat. All of the stock suspension was tossed in favor of a new front subframe and rear torque arm assembly from Jake's Rod Shop.
He didn't stop there, though; Violetto knew reducing weight was the best way to make the most of the new suspension, so he began eighty-sixing the unnecessary creature comforts. All power accessories, the radio, and the A/C got the axe. To help the front-to-rear weight bias, the stock steel fenders were swapped with carbon-fiber versions and the hood was replaced with a lightweight fiberglass piece. Even the driveline got a full makeover with a stroked LS3 and Jerico four-speed. In essence, Violetto just reinforced the "Spirit" award by proving how badly he wanted to be a real competitor.
Believe it or not, Violetto had everything back together in four months and showed up at the OUSCI loaded for bear. Sadly, after all that work he was out of the competition early with driveshaft and torque arm breakage during a lap on the Spring Mountain road course. No harm was done (other than perhaps to Violetto's ego), and the TA came out unscathed. We're sure we'll be seeing Violetto's Trans Am at more events again soon.

CHESTERTON | Crown Point's offense didn't need any help Friday.
Chesterton provided it anyway.
The balanced Bulldogs (5-3, 3-3) took advantage of seven Trojans turnovers and a blocked punt to roll to a 56-28 Duneland Athletic Conference victory.
Jake Jatis threw for 200 yards and three touchdowns and rushed for 68 yards and another score, but was hardly Chesterton's only headache. Tristan Peterson ran for 88 yards and two TDs to go with a scoring reception. Morgan Kral caught three passes for 59 yards and a score and a two-point conversion catch.
"All the credit to the offensive line. They really worked hard all week in practice. It seems like they're finally grooving and that helps me and Tristan out," Jatis said. "All the wideouts were awesome as well. Credit to our defense for getting us the ball in great spots. That really helps the offense. A couple times, we scored on the first plays, and that helps the momentum."
Not to be outdone, the 'Dogs defense and special teams contributed for the Bulldogs as well. Zack Bucci snagged two of the three interceptions thrown by Cole Teal and Connor Andras scooped up a blocked punt and took four yards for a TD as well.
C.P. started quickly and never slowed on offense. Peterson opened the scoring with a 7-yard run after Artie Equihua hooked up with Wess Honaker for 30 yards on a pass off a fake reverse.
Jatis threw for 137 yards and two touchdowns in the first half. He found Kral, a 6-foot-6 tight end, for a 17-yard score, and Tristan Peterson took a swing pass 20 yards, breaking a tackle at the 10 on his way to the end zone. That TD followed a muffed punt, one of three Chesterton turnovers in the first half.
"That was a 10-, possibly 14-point swing," Trojans coach Mark Peterson said. "The frustrating part was we were in position a couple different times and didn't capitalize on the opportunities. Obviously, we've got to take care of the ball better. We gave away 14, 21 points. We're really shooting ourselves in the foot."
Chesterton, which also was flagged for 10 penalties, scored twice in 21 seconds in the third quarter to get within 41-28. Jon Horvath rambled 78 yards and after a Kendell Pelham interception, Teal hits Jordan Dilosa in stride for a 40-yard strike for the Trojans (3-5, 2-4), who played without tailback Avery Beeks.
Teal threw for 218 yards and two scores and also ran one in.
The Trojans have lost four in a row, while Crown Point won its third straight.
"It's a credit to the kids and the coaches," CP coach Kevin Enright said. "People wrote us off, but nobody pointed fingers. They got through the adversity, learned from it, and kept working hard every day. As cliche as it is, we're just trying to get better every day."

"I customized this invitation with a yellow to match my wedding colors. I added the pearl shimmer and ordered silver envelopes. They are amazing! For the price you can't beat it. I added a tiny rhinestone to the top and bottom scrolls and they look like something out of a magazine. I also ordered reception cards and will most likely be doing matching save the dates. Highly recommend!"
"This was exactly what I was looking for in an invitation! Very romantic and great quality. The process was so simple and I received my order in less time than originally stated. Highly recommend!"
"This card came out so beautiful that I was told by people they are keeping simply bc it's too gorgeous to put away or recycle! We used this card for our invitation to our 10th Anniversary. Bc I do not like to "waste paper", I was able to use the back for all the important info instead of an enclosure card. The designers are WPD were awesome! they arranged it all for me seamlessly. Service was extremely fast when we went back and forth on changes and edits. I highly recommend this card and especially his company! (I've used them 3x now!)"
"I was having the hardest time finding an invitation for my wedding, but once I saw this option, I was sold! I highly recommend it!"
"I had the flowers on this invite personalized to ruby red to match my flowers. They came out amazing. I also had the response cards changed to match the color scheme of the actual invitation rather than being white. The end result was fantastic. My only regret was not having more money to get more inserts and the liner inside. Either way I loved my invitations. I really appreciated the free customization. I also ordered matching return labels from Tiny Prints. They were perfect as well."

Janet Gaynor (October 6, 1906 - September 14, 1984)
In 1928, Janet Gaynor was the first woman to receive the Academy Award for best actress. She was awarded the Oscar based on her body of work in the three films shown above: 7th Heaven (1927), Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans (1927), and Street Angel (1928). She had a successful film career throughout the 1930s, famously appearing in A Star is Born in 1937. Toward the end of the 1930s, she retired from the screen upon her marriage to Hollywood designer Gilbert Adrian, and spent her later years painting and traveling. She died due to complications from a car accident in 1984.
Happy birthday, Janet Gaynor.

Editor's Note: Yves Behar is a designer, entrepreneur, founder of the design firm Fuseproject and Chief Creative Officer of the wearable technology company Jawbone. Behar is one of the most foremost industrial designers in the world. Mostly known for designing MIT Media Lab founder Nicholas Negroponte's One Laptop Per Child $100 laptop.
By Yves Behar, Special to CNN
CNN's "Next List" producer Elise Zeiger and three cameramen appeared in my office on the coldest day of the warmest winter in San Francisco's human memory. The plan was four days of tracking my life, including design brainstorms, riding bicycles on The Embarcadero and even a surf session.
In the morning, I met Dr. Sanjay Gupta, who had just flown from Los Angeles. He was visibly chilly on the banks of San Francisco Bay. We chatted about his recent fire-eating performance, and very quickly a small swarm of Sanjay admirers formed around us. We jumped on the local three-wheeler bikes that my team at Fuseproject recently designed. We did this both to escape the crowd and to get the conversation going. We immediately realized the main advantage of the very stable ride: We could talk, laugh, gesticulate and have an in-depth discussion about design - all while on the lightweight cargo-style bicycles.
From his hometown in Western Kenya to the mega-slums of Nairobi, Dan Ogola has blazed a trail of opportunity in some of his country's poorest regions. Using health and education as his tools, he's launched new businesses, created jobs and inspired a generation to better their lives by taking better care of themselves.
Raised in poverty, Dan witnessed the connection between poor health and hopelessness from an early age. Dr. Hernando Garzon, Director of Global Health services for California's Kaiser Permanente, sees it as well. "We learned a long time ago that if you have an unhealthy community the potential for economic development is less. So if people are out, sick days, if children are not attending school because of illness and high illness rates, the chances for economic development and prosperity are less."
As founder and director of The Matibabu Foundation, an indigenous health and education initiative serving some 60,000 Kenyans, Dan's ability to recognize the talent often overlooked in poor communities has led to an economic boom in his hometown. But for this agent of change, success is about more than money. " I want to communicate the health situation of my people with anybody," Ogola told The Next List. "It's something that I love, so I don't need to force myself to see it. Anytime I meet you, I want to share with you, I'm Dan Ogola. I come from this community. And I don't say it when I'm shy. I say it with a lot of vigor, because I love my community."
"We are just trying to make a difference in our own community," he adds. "The goodwill that we have, yes, those make Matibabu truly unique."

(CNN) - Here's a cool demo from a group called Chaotic Moon Studios:
In the clip, which a reporter from GeekWire filmed at a Microsoft event on Monday, a Whole Food shopping cart follows a shopper around and helps him complete his shopping list. The cart appears to be equipped with a tablet computer that's connected to an Microsoft Kinect motion-sensing camera.
The camera scans items as they go into the cart and checks them off of a shopping list. When the man in the demo finishes shopping, it says: "That completes the items on your shopping list."
It also knows a thing or two about the shopper's preferences. In the demo, a man puts a box of spaghetti into the cart only to be scolded by the talking machine.
"Note you have indicated you prefer gluten-free. This item contains gluten."
Then it helps him find a similar product that does not contain gluten.
Oh, and it's motorized. The camera senses your location and then - with a few hiccups, as the demo shows - follows you around the store. (This sounds awesome on its face but might be a nightmare on a crowded Sunday afternoon, when grocery stores can look like scenes from a zombie apocalypse).
It's unclear when if ever this technology will actually show up in stores. Libba Letton, a spokeswoman for Whole Foods, said the company provided the shopping cart and is interested in the technology but has no immediate plans to implement it. "Whole Foods is always trying new stuff," she said.
She gave credit for the invention to Austin-based Chaotic Moon Studios, which has come up with all kinds of wacky and cool ways to use Xbox Kinect cameras. Check out this video clip of a mind-controlled skateboard, for instance. They call it the "board of imagination."

(CNN) - Why Design?
Having one foot in design, and the other in sustainable and social projects, I hear this question quite often: "Why does the world need another chair?" My answer is that the world needs another chair/bicycle/car or any new product for that matter, like the world needs another book. The human and environmental factors of today are changing, and just like books that reflect our psyche, products need to evolve to reflect our needs.
The next 20 years will see a radical change in the way that everything is made, shipped and consumed. Sustainability will be a key driver, but another is how companies relate to their customers through social and environmental leadership. Finally, the experience of any product or service will need to be delightful, attainable, and intelligent. Design is a big part of this holistic approach: How things are made, how things interact with the world, how things delight is at the core of what designers do.
I am passionate about what design can do - how far it can support the new ideas and the new ways of living of this 21st Century. Good design accelerates this exciting future where manufacturing is local, materials and processes are cradle to cradle, business models are both socially and financially driven.I truly believe that everything Sci-fi taught me as a child about an efficient and wondrous world will be happening in my lifetime.
The work ahead is both humbling and full of promise. Let's get to it.

(CNN) - Google's Street View makes it possible for Internet users to travel virtually to the peaks of mountains, the depths of the Amazon rainforest and the halls of famous art museums (maybe it's time to change the name from Street View?).
Now the tech giant is going to help a scientific research group broadcast images of an unprecedented, robot-enabled expedition to Australia's Great Barrier Reef.
Called the Catlin Seaview Survey, the research project will use 360-degree cameras to film the reef in an unprecedented way, traveling from the surface to depths of more than 300 feet, the group said in a press release Thursday.
Some of the images will be broadcast live on Google's social network, Google+. The group also plans to release thousands of "360-degree underwater panoramas, which, when stitched together, will all people to choose a location, dip underwater and go for a virutal dive at all of the locations visited by the expedition."

Dale Dougherty believes everyone is a maker. Whether you're into cooking or art or you're someone who tinkers in the garage, we all have the ability to make something that has meaning to us. Dougherty is on a mission to empower people to make what's important to them.
CNN's "The Next List" recently featured this leader of the "maker" movement. Take a look at these videos to see what he's all about.
And here's some background: Dougherty organizes a yearly event called Maker Faire, where people gather to show off their projects and creative concoctions. He publishes Make magazine, which is jam-packed with fantastic do-it-yourself projects – everything from making squishy circuits to building your own robot. And now he's taking his make philosophy into classrooms across the country, with Makerspace where Dale wants to empower teachers and students to make things – whatever they want! Dale is at the helm of a full-on movement.

Will there be a time in our lives when cars don't crash? When a Mustang can warn a BMW that it's changing lanes – or when we can just sit back and relax and our cars will drive themselves?
Auto technology experts say "yes." And they say that some of those advances may happen quicker than you might think.
"We are seeing just seismic changes as we speak," said Scott Belcher, president and CEO of the Intelligent Transportation Society of America. FULL POST

I've always been open about my personal life with people who care about me so I wanted to say something: Sasha and I after 8 years have come to an end. We grew apart while I was on the road touring for the past 3 years. I think she will always love me but in this case she fell out of love with me. I will always love her and hope that she finds true happiness and true love. I've never felt heartbreak before and it is a crazy feeling, at times I wish I didn't have a heart, maybe I would miss caring about people but at least I would know that I would never ever feel this again.
I'm a wreck right now and never want to be in a relationship again. I feel like I don't have what it takes or the emotional strength to fall in love again. I love every single one of my friends, fans, and family more than they will ever know but at this point in my life, I can't offer somebody else what they need and deserve. I'm a good dude and I've always wanted to be someone that people can trust, but right now there is not a bone in my body that doesn't feel broken from our breakup. I never want to be on the opposite end of this or make anyone feel the way I do now.
I'm broken and there has been somebody there to help me feel better, maybe it will turn into something more down the road but as for now I've decided to take a second to focus on myself and my music and the people who have made me everything I am today.
I hope this offers some clarity to some of you who have questioned me. I love you all very much.
I wrote this blog 4 weeks ago and have been waiting to post it, A LOT of stuff has changed in my life and I can finally say that I'm happy again…maybe posting this will finally help me get everything else off my chest.
I am a real person and I am no better than anyone, anywhere. This post is me being real.
I have continually convinced myself to be happy and to look on the brighter side of everything. I will always be positive and I will do whatever it takes to make somebody smile. Don't be a cliche, always know what you have before it goes away. I don't want the post to be sad, I want it to be real.
I just want to make you happy :)
Thank you guys for being my friends and for loving and supporting not only my band but me as a person.
I sing and play guitar in a band called We The Kings. I also have a clothing line called King Travis Clothing. I like to Tweet and some times even Instagram. Oh yea, I also have Facebook! Not to mention this here Tumblr!

Comments about Vineyard Vines Vineyard Whale Classic Tote:
I had been wanting a Vineyard Vines tote for quite some time, so I finally decided to splurge and treat myself. This is one of the highest quality tote bags I've ever seen, and it's full of lots of different sized pockets to hold all of your essentials. The strap is sturdy, yet comfortable so it won't hurt your shoulder even if you're carrying a lot in it.
My only "complaint" (which really isn't a complaint at all) is that it's REALLY big. I thought I could use it as a summer purse of sorts, but it's really too big for that. Instead of using it as a handbag, I suggest using it as a beach bag, book bag, or work tote (to store laptop, files, lunch, etc...).
But yeah, if you're looking for a durable, high quality, cute tote bag that all your friends will be jealous of, click that "add to cart" button.

MILWAUKEE, WI (WKBW/RELEASE) -- National Transportation Safety Board Chairman Deborah A.P. Hersman today told the leaders of the nation's regional airlines to find new methods to solve old problems.
Speaking before the Regional Airline Association national convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Hersman congratulated the regional airlines for eclipsing the mainline carriers by operating over half of scheduled airline departures in the nation.
Hersman noted that, while regional airlines are becoming an increasingly important segment of the nation's airline industry, they also have come under increasing scrutiny. Although the rate of fatal accidents involving Part 121 carriers (encompassing virtually all scheduled airlines) today is half what it was just ten years ago, some recent high-profile accidents like the 2006 Lexington wrong runway
takeoff crash and the 2009 crash on approach to the Buffalo airport have raised questions about minimum standards, professionalism, pilot training and qualifications.
Beyond the overarching tragedy of the lives lost in those two crashes, Hersman noted that the entire industry rises or falls on its safety record. "This fact could not have been clearer after the [Buffalo] crash, when all regional airlines suffered in the court of public opinion."

Racism is rampant. I'm racist, you're racist, everyone is racist. Countless other "-isms" are rampant too. They're all easily explained by primitive biology but we can save that for another time.
Inventing (or claiming) racism where none exists however is, well, kinda .

Ford: Failure to Communicate?
Here's an idea for Ford — make sure that when you talk to The Street that The Street is listening.
The shine on the Blue Oval got smudged Friday as shares fell as much as 15 percent after its fourth-quarter profit missed estimates by almost 40 percent. Why? Analysts were apparently blindsided by more than $1 billion jump costs in the fourth quarter compared to the third.
It was the first time Ford fell short of estimates in two years, and the miss upstaged what was an otherwise notable year. Ford reported its best annual income in more than a decade and had more cash than debt in its automotive operations, a key milestone it has aimed at hitting for more than a year.
During Friday's earnings conference call, analysts and journalists peppered CEO Alan Mulally and CFO Lewis Booth with variations on the same question: what happened?
Mulally stumbled over his words a bit before saying simply: "We could have communicated maybe a little bit better on that."
In fairness, Ford had flagged a $1 billion jump in both structural and commodity costs as early as July during its second-quarter earnings call. It repeated its outlook in October.
But analysts didn't seem to take those early cautions seriously. In an October 27 note, Credit Suisse analyst Chris Ceraso accused Ford of "some sand-bagging" because the threatened cost increases hadn't shown up yet. And Ford beat third-quarter expectations on lower-than-expected costs.
Ceraso even cut his forecast for material and structural costs in 2011. "Fool me once, shame on you; fool me 6 times, lock me up!" he wrote.
He was probably tired of being wrong. Analysts have routinely underestimated Ford's results. In the five quarters before the latest report, Ford trounced estimates by as much as 117 percent.
"We are going to work even closer to make sure that everybody understands where we are and where we are going," Mulally said. "It is a great story and we're going to tell it a little bit better."

On a table at the front of the room were a 24-year-old houseplant and pots and pots of miniature plants, enough to make a small forest. They were examples of plants trained in the art of bonsai (bones-eye), or literally a �tree in a pot.�<>>
Exports of bonsai trees from Japan have increased significantly, 10 times what they were a decade ago as reported last October by Japan Today, a Tokyo-based online newspaper. The biggest buyers are China, Italy and the United States. The simple, classic style appeals to contemporary designers and the small size fits well in many down-sized homes.
On February 16, the Penn State Franklin County Extension Service Master Gardener program held a workshop on
The Art of Japanese Landscaping and Bonsai. Over 20 people attended to hear about growing and training bonsai and the elements of Japanese landscaping in gardens.<>>
�I�ve been trying for over 15 years to create a bonsai,� said Tisha Corwell, Chambersburg. The workshop has Corwell ready to �try it again.�
Master Gardener Barbara Petrucci spoke about bonsai, providing information about plant selections, noting that the proportions of the plant and the pot are important.
She talked about different styles such as cascading and slanting as well as wiring, re-potting, over-wintering and pruning the plants.<>>
Barbara Petrucci spoke about the art of bonsai
On display was Petrucci�s Schefflera (Umbrella) plant which she began training 24 years ago. She took the opportunity to show how to prune on this plant, eliciting a few gasps from the audience as she snipped off very healthy green growths.
Barbara Petrucci prunes new growth from her
A long-time bonsai enthusiast, Petrucci participated in the workshop hoping to find others interested in establishing an informal bonsai club. �And I wanted to show off my plants,� she laughed.
Gardeners are including elements of Japanese landscape in part because it seeks to capture and celebrate the splendor and variety of the universe in a microcosm, recognizing that everything- plants, people, even inanimate objects like stones and mountains- contain a dynamic, spiritual essence. And each element is symbolic of the whole and a worthy subject of respect and contemplation.
Wrapped in a dragon-embroidered kimono, Master Gardener Sylvia Kremp talked about Japanese inspired landscaping. Her interest grew out of research she did for a program presentation. Kremp said, "The more I researched online the more I was interested" in the elements and symbolism used in this style.
Sylvia Kremp - Japanese Landscape
Kremp walked the audience through her home landscape, describing the reasons for placement of certain plants. She described how using Yin and Yang, a Chinese concept describing opposite or contrary forces are really interconnected and interdependent in the natural world, she shaped areas and created focal points.
�I have a Japanese-inspired garden,� said Bonnie Kress, Shippensburg, who came to learn more about this style of gardening. She added that there are non-Japanese elements and agreed that may be more like a Japanese-fusion garden.
�I came primarily for the landscaping,� said Karen Sigler, Mifflintown. She is working to complete a Japanese inspired landscape and has both a weeping cherry tree and Hinoki cypress plants already installed.
Sylvia Kremp and Barbara Petrucci
Audience members had an opportunity to look over books on display, exhibit boards with photos from different stages of bonsai plants and some were able to take home a few starter-cuttings from Barbara�s quarter-century Schefflera.

HERSHEY, PA – Boyd Kane yells at the referee after Lake Erie goal after an interesting call earlier in the period (Kyle Mace – Sweetest Hockey on Earth)
With the countdown to the 2013 Outdoor Classic winding down rapidly, the Hershey Bears had one final contest at Giant Center before the big matinee scheduled for Sunday. The Bears battled the Lake Erie Monsters for the first time this season. Jonathon Kalinski was given a third period five minute major penalty and an early shower, leading to a 3-2 Monsters win.
Boyd Kane entered Friday with 199 career points with the Hershey Bears. Only 12:39 into the contest against Lake Erie, a power play goal gave him the 200 point milestone. On the man-advantage, Kane sent a bank-shot from a sharp angle that found its way into the net for an early 1-0 Hershey lead.
It might of been the shortest lead all season, as only 15 seconds later the Monsters exploited a hole in the Bears' defense. Bill Thomas entered the zone on a 2-on-1 odd-man rush and finished a quick cross-ice pass to knot the game at 1-1. Shots after 20 minutes were a commanding 9-3 lead for the Chocolate and White.
During the middle period Hershey began struggling with connecting passes in the offensive end. Many stretched, breakout passes through the neutral zone were beginning to be intercepted and broken up. After Lake Erie was whistled for the game's first four minors, Hershey would be penalized three consecutive times during the frame.
For over a minute during the 12 minute mark of the frame, the Monsters possessed a 5-on-3 chance against the Bears. Seconds after the two-man advantage expired, the Monsters cashed in off a backdoor pass. Andrew Agozzino tallied on a crisp feed coming from the high-slot via teammate Mike Sgarbossa. Philipp Grubauer was slow getting across to defend the left side of his crease, as the Bears' bench argued for a goalie interference infraction against Lake Erie. The goal was granted, and it was 2-1 Lake Erie after 40 minutes at Giant Center.
Into the final period, the Bears shortened any chance they had of winning by taking a countless number of penalties in the opening minutes. Jeff Taffe was called for a high-stick at the 1:43 mark, beginning the penalty box parade for Hershey. Seconds later, Jonathan Kalinski was handed a five minute major elbow infraction, which gave the Monsters a lengthy 5-on-3 advantage.
Mike Sgarbossa for the Monsters tallied his third point of the game on the two-man advantage to take the wind out of Hershey's sails only 2:32 into the third frame. Following the goal, Kane was handed an unsportsmanlike penalty to give Lake Erie a full two minute 5-on-3 advantage. Heroically, the Bears' penalty kill unit killed off the long Lake Erie power play to keep the game within reach.
Jeff Taffe tallied a power play goal to cut it to 3-2 Lake Erie with over a minute remaining.
Discouraged after an onslaught of penalties, the Bears were unable to rebound and fell to the Lake Erie Monsters by a final score of 3-2.

Exhausted both in body and spirit the pace of the ancient city began to heal him, and when he met Claudia, an Italian Jewess, he was ripe for seduction. Claudia's war had been worse, and after Mussolini's downfall she was quickly betrayed to the SS. While she survived her father didn't and to her horror she discovers that the man who was responsible for them being sent to the camp is about to become her new lover's step-father. In a violent confrontation Adam and Claudia are left needing to create an unbreakable alibi, which they do, but to uphold it Adam must establish what really happened to these people and in doing so exposes the ambiguity of morality in peace and in war, and has to grapple with the questions of what is good or evil, what is right or wrong, and does truth really matter?--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

WHERE: Mizzou Arena, Columbia Missouri
The Missouri Tigers are looking to extend their winning streak to three in-a-row when they host the Vanderbilt Commodores tonight in Mizzou Arena.
Missouri has put themselves back in the discussion of the NCAA Tournament with their back-to-back wins against Arkansas and Tennessee but, the Tigers don't have much room for error as they cannot afford to cough one up against a Commodores team that beat them earlier this season.
The Tigers are coming off a great game against Tennessee in which they got contributions from their young front court. Post players, Jonathon Williams III, Torren Jones, and Keanu Post combined for 22 points and 13 rebounds- something Missouri has been looking for all season. Combine that with the 24 points for Jabari Brown and Jordan Clarkson averaging 18.7 ppg, and you have a Missouri team that's hard to beat.
Vandy is coming into Mizzou Arena hot, having won four of their last six games and putting them in a tie with Missouri for 5th in the conference. Both teams are also one game out of fourth and two games back from third meaning both teams are clawing their way back to the top in the SEC.
Speaking of clawing their way back, Vanderbilt had to do the same thing in their game agains Texas A&M last week. Vandy never lead the game until a 16-5 run- including a game tying shot- late in the second half forced the game to overtime. The Commodores grabbed the early lead in overtime and never looked back, ending their two-game losing streak.
Vanderbilt is strong on defense and relies heavily on their three point shooting and post play. Post players, James Siakam, Rod Odom, and Damian Jones are all guys that can give Missouri trouble. Odom averages 14.7 ppg and can hit from three, having made 71 from the arc and shooting 42%. Damian Jones is the true-freshman center that has been the man in the paint for Vandy as he enters the game averaging 11.2 ppg.
Missouri has played strong at home all season and need to complete this three game home stand at 3-0. Vanderbilt will certainly give Mizzou all they can handle- considering they play good defense and only give up 65.4 ppg- but the Tigers should out match them at home.

Nokia pulls the plug on wireless payment handset
too slow for transport ticketing?
possible explanation:
"Our feeling was the readiness for SWP on devices was not there yet."
The rumour mill (could be untrue) was suggesting that during testing the SIM based secure elements connected to the NFC modem over one-wire protocol were just not quick enough, with transactions taking over 650ms.
That is far too slow for use in Transport systems, where 250ms is generally accepted as the desired transaction time, so that people can get through gates while still walking.
Together with the ongoing debate on chicken and egg, and finding a business model suitable for all collaborators could well have given Nokia "concern with regards to the timing with other elements to make NFC a success,"
In light of this, and China Mobile's tangential activities, we still reckon that the widespread adoption of mass-market consumer NFC handsets is still very much an "if" not a "when" for the time being, and are proceeding with faster alternative technologies for mobile ticketing that work on existing handsets without modification (especially now that mobile barcode is faster than 250ms). http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/01/19/nfc_forum_video/
Adobe proposes open access to app stores
manufacturers are in the hot seat
WE DON'T NEED A NEW MOBILE APP PLATFORM - we just need to make the ones we've got more straightforward for people to use.
Despite Adobe saying that no mobile app platform is over 50%, some stats rate Java penetration on western GSM networks at over 80%, the only major barrier against Java is that end users have no consistency of install and application launch between handsets.
Adobe adding a new flash-lite based environment or app store does not help solve the developers dilema, it just makes it worse. (in fact, I've not heard of a phone that supports Flash Lite without already supporting Java)
The widely praised iPhone TV adverts that show app discovery, purchase and install have helped users become comfortable with the process - building a similar advert for standard phones is impossible as they differ too much.
Users get confused or scared off by too many warning messages and prompts, and either go to the microsoft vista encouraged approach of clicking "YES" to everything, or just running away at the first message that says "this software comes from an untrusted source" when the manufacturers and operators have made it pretty near impossible to reliably sign applications to be from a trusted source (by cunningly tinkering with the root certificates on the phones).
If Apple and Microsoft would support Java, and all handset manufacturers would standardise the security and install messages for app install, users may finally be able to make use of the largest application platform in the world.
We're not looking for a new app store technology here - just a more consistant install experience!
As was discussed at the MDA's workshop, we probably won't get this through comittee, only through the bullying of a dominant manufacturer, or operator.

Have you taken inventory of your medicine cabinets lately? Now that summer lawn and garden care is in full swing, are you properly storing pesticide containers? When you tidy up around the house, do you put food, liquor, and tobacco products safely out of harm's way? These precautions are second nature to households with children, but homes with animals must be just as secure. Let's tour a typical home and see what we find.
If you suspect your animal may have ingested any of the substances on this list or if you pet shows any of the symptoms indicated below, you should consider the situation a medical emergency and should contact your veterinarian immediately. Be sure to bring any containers or the remains of any substance you think your pet may have swallowed with you.
Organophosphates, identified as malathion, diazinon, and fenthion, and carbamates, most commonly known as carbaryl and carbofuran, are neurological poisons found in lawn and garden pesticides and flea and tick products. Signs of toxicity include apprehension, excessive salivation, urination, defecation, vomiting and diarrhea, and pinpoint pupils. If an animal has absorbed enough of any neurological toxin, sudden death may be the only sign.
Pyrethrins and pyrethroids, both natural and synthetic, are also neurological poisons. Natural names include pyrethrin I and II. Synthetic compounds include allethrin, resmethrin, and permethrin. They are found in insecticidal aerosols, dips, shampoos, and house and garden products. Signs of ingestion include excessive salivation, vomiting, diarrhea, tremors, and hyperexcitability or depression.
Coumarins, most recognizable as D-Conj, a rat and mouse poison, affect the ability of the blood to clot. Mice that consume the poisoned grain essentially bleed to death. Your pets will be affected the same way, and the severity of the symptoms often depends on the amount ingested. Even cats that eat poisoned mice can become ill. If you find an empty box, look for labored breathing, anorexia, nosebleeds, bloody urine or feces, and pinpoint hemorrhages on the gums.
Tobacco products cause excitement, salivation, vomiting, muscle weakness, and coma or death, and the toxic effects can develop within minutes. Marijuana causes involuntary muscle movements, depression or excitability, trembling, and salivation. Large amounts can be fatal.
Aspirin and other pain relievers are in every home, and these poisonings can be severe. When aspirin is prescribed for animals, the dosage must be strictly followed. Too much aspirin can lead to anemia and gastric hemorrhage. Ibuprofen and naproxen will cause painful gastrointestinal problems. One 200mg ibuprofen tablet is toxic to a small dog.
Never give acetaminophen to a cat or dog. In cats the drug affects oxygen in the blood, and it produces severe depression and abdominal pain in dogs. If not quickly eliminated from the body, just two extra-strength tablets in 24 hours will most likely kill a small pet. Clinical signs in cats develop within one or two hours and include excessive salivation, paw and facial swelling, depression, and ash-gray gums. In dogs watch for anorexia, vomiting, depression, and abdominal pain. High doses are usually fatal.
Garbage is not often regarded as poisonous. After all, many animals find compost attractive. But toxins are produced by bacteria fermenting the garbage. Rapid and severe signs include vomiting, bloody diarrhea, painful abdominal distention, shivering, shock, and collapse.
How should pets be protected from these poisons? Here are some very simple rules to follow:
C = cardiovascular toxinGI = gastrointestinal toxinR = respiratory toxinN = neurological toxinKO = kidney/organ failure* = Substance is especially dangerous and can be fatal.

A pair of Conference IV-A teams put the halt on the postseason hardwood hopes for Buford and Indian Land on Tuesday night.
The Conference III-A runner-up Indian Land team dropped a season-ending 63-59 loss to Williston-Elko, while Buford fell to Conference IV-A champion C.A. Johnson, 63-44.
Indian Land fell behind early and never could fully recover in dropping the four-point loss.
"We had our chances, but we didn't convert," IL coach Nate Smith said. "It was a disappointing night for us."
The University of South Carolina at Lancaster Lancers baseball team will take a 3-1 record into their 2010 home opener this weekend.
The Lancers, in their second season of baseball, are coming off a Sunday afternoon split with Brunswick Community College in Shallotte, N.C.
USCL dropped an 8-1 loss to the Dolphins in the opener, but rebounded to take the nightcap with an 8-7 win.
The Lancers opened their season with a sweep of the Limestone junior varsity baseball team on Feb. 8 in Gaffney, 3-1, 7-3.
Two baseball standouts with Lancaster connections are headed to Presbyterian College to continue their careers.
Nick Ferguson, who starred with the Lancaster High School and Post 31 American Legion programs, signed with the Blue Hose during the early signing period last fall.
Ferguson is joined by Ryan Burt, of Cayce, who is in his second season with the University of South Carolina at Lancaster baseball program.
The Indian Land Lady Warriors used fast starts to launch their 2010 Class A Upper State playoff run in impressive fashion on Monday night.
The host Lady Warriors bolted to a 20-5 first-period edge on the way to a 60-45 win over Hunter-Kinard-Tyler to open the Class A Upstate playoffs.
IL's 15-point win sends the 16-5 Lady Warriors to face Christ Church, the defending Class A state champion, on Thursday at 7 p.m.
Lancaster High School basketball senior night was special for more than a fond farewell.
The fasting-starting Bruins captured a share of the Region IV-AAAA boys championship with a 72-43 win over Spring Valley in the LHS gym on Monday night.
LHS's decisive 29-point win gave the 19-5 Bruins the right to wear the Region IV-AAAA regular-season co-champions crown with an 8-2 league record.
The Lancaster Bruins got back on track, racking up a solid home win in Region IV-AAAA play Saturday night.
The Bruins, 18-4, 7-1, corralled the South Pointe Stallions in a 63-54 win.
LHS, playing less than 24 hours after dropping its first region loss this season in an 81-64 setback at Ridge View, rebounded to boost the Bruins' region championship hopes.
"We answered the challenge against a well-coached team," LHS coach Ricardo Priester said. "We've played well at home this season and we responded in a clutch way today."
BISHOPVILLE A tough basketball season came to a close Thursday for the Andrew Jackson High School Volunteers.
AJ, on the road for its Conference IV-AA regular-season finale, dropped a pair of losses to the host Lee Central Stallions.
The Lady Vols, who went winless in region play, dropped a 49-20 setback to the LC Lady Stallions in the opener.
The nightcap was closer, but the Stallions avenged an earlier loss to the Vols, who compiled a 1-9 mark in league play, with a 75-66 win.
The South Middle School girls completed a second straight unbeaten season, and the A.R. Rucker boys capped a sterling 13-1 campaign with a sweet revenge win Thursday.
Lancaster area middle school rivals A.R. Rucker and South each had something to cheer about in the season-ending doubleheader at the packed Lancaster High School gym.
The Lady Mustangs put the finishing touches on a banner 14-0 season with a 36-24 win over the rival Lady Rams in the opener.
Lancaster dropped a pair of Region IV-AAAA basketball losses to Blythewood on Tuesday night, but the news wasn't all bad for the Bruins on departing the Midlands.
The LHS boys, who dropped their second loss in three region games, learned that Ridge View, which downed the No. 10 Bruins 81-64 last Friday night at RVHS to forge a tie for the region lead, also lost on Tuesday night.
South Pointe notched a 72-68 win over the Ridge View Blazers to keep the teams tied at the top of region play.
INDIAN LAND Indian Land High School basketball senior night was one for the Warriors to savor on Thursday.
The IL teams completed a season's hoops sweep of the rival Buford Yellow Jackets.
The Lady Warriors rolled to a 78-40 victory and the IL boys capped the notable night with a 62-55 win over the Jackets.
Each game followed a similar trend for the winning Warriors. The IL teams took control in the third quarter to take command on the way to victory.

Knocking at an Empty House
January 4, 2014 § 2 Comments
From the essay 'The Porcupine and the Car' in Reasons for Knocking at an Empty House: Writings 1973-1994 by Bill Viola (1995) (Thanks to Julie at Unreal Nature.)
…Artists have known for a long time that the most interesting connections in things involve areas of low, or ambiguous, information, so-called "gaps" in recognition. This is the time of involvement, of participation by the viewer, in a work of art. The process of learning itself demands that initially one must be confronted with something one does not understand. René Magritte wrote: "People who look for symbolic meanings fail to grasp the inherent poetry and mystery of the image. No doubt they sense this mystery, but they wish to get rid of it. They are afraid. By asking 'What does this mean?' they express a wish that everything be understandable. But if one does not reject the mystery, one has quite a different response. One asks other things."
(Image: Still from video, "Quintet of the Astonished," 2000, by Bill Viola.)

Stanley Lewis is one of the seven artists included in the upcoming exhibition, See It Loud, at the National Academy Museum in New York City.
A Contrarian Streak
September 15, 2013 § Leave a comment
See It Loud an upcoming show at the National Academy Museum in New York City investigates the work of seven influential painters who were beginning their careers at a time when Abstract Expressionism dominated the art world and the teaching of art. Leland Bell, Paul Georges, Peter Heinemann, Albert Kresch, Stanley Lewis, Paul Resika, and Neil Welliver all followed individual paths through abstraction toward the re-investigation of representation, perception, and narrative in painting.
The show opens September 26 and runs until January 26, 2014. For more information about the show and the individual artists:

Dignity in Work: Cleveland's Matthew Dibble
March 11, 2013 § 1 Comment
A Visual Conversation: The Paintings of Matthew Dibble
By Katherine Aimone www.artswrite.com
"Too much thinking can be an obstacle for me when painting; the 'judge' always seems to get in the way. My connection can only be found in the moment, and I often come back to a sense of my feet on the floor while painting. During these moments some real work is possible…. As artists, we do much better trying to keep things simple. We do better to compare ourselves solely to ourselves. Self-inventory is useful, while self-condemnation is not. Without calling our whole identity into question, there are inquiries that we can fruitfully ask. How am I developing as an artist? Am I doing the work necessary for me to mature? Did I work today? Yes? Well, that's good. Working today is what gives us currency and self-respect. There is dignity in work." —Matthew Dibble
The Angel
March 8, 2013 § Leave a comment
"I go to the studio everyday because one day I may go and the Angel will be there. What if I don't go and the Angel comes?"
-Philip Guston
Present Surroundings: Walter Murch, 1907-1967
October 28, 2012 § Leave a comment
"I think a painter paints what he thinks about the most. For me, this is about objects from my childhood, present surroundings, or a chance object that stimulates my interest, around which accumulate these thoughts. I suppose you could say I am more concerned with the lowly and forgotten object, the one people discard because they are finished with it or see it in a certain logical automatic way that I would like to break."
"When I am in the painting, I don't know what I am doing. After a period of getting acquainted, I begin to recognize that the painting has a life of its own. If I lose contact with its life the painting is a mess and if I keep harmony with it, it turns out well. It is possible to discover a work of art in the process of creating it. Beyond that, whatever emotional results may occur in the mind of the observer, I can't control nor would I want to. I remain only the artist."
From Walter Tandy Murch: An Introduction, by Michael Grimaldi, Linea, 2007

text: Bulls vs. Heat: NBA Picks The Chicago Bulls can lock up the No. 1 seed in the east tonight, but to do so they must beat the Heat in Miami. If that wasn't enough, the Bulls might be without Derrick Rose yet again. Where should w place our NBA picks to find the best value tonight? 10* Free NBA Pick on the Chicago Bulls as they take on the Miami Heat set to start at 8:00 PM ET and will be televised by TNT. The Bulls have been without their reigning league MVP Derrick Rose and have gone an amazing 17-8 in those games. Another Bulls all star Luol Deng will likely play tonight having been held out of the last two games with rib injuries. The Bulls hold a 2.5 game lead over the Heat in the Eastern Conference standings and a win tonight clinches the No. 1 seed and home court advantage throughout the Conference playoffs. The Heat had been struggling with a 5-6 stretch and had a horrid 3-7 stretch in their last 10 road games. However, they have won the last four games and covered three of the against the spread. The level of competition though is suspect with three of the four wins against Charlotte, New Jersey, and Toronto. The lone quality win was in a 93-85 win at Madison Square Garden over the Knicks. Simulator Projections My NBA betting simulator shows a high probability that the Bulls will lose this game by five or fewer points. It also shows a 65% probability that they will win the game. Given these projections, consider taking advantage of the money and play a 6.5* amount on the line and a 3.5* amount using the money line. Simulator shows a high probability that the Bulls will have between 53 and 57 rebounds and will out rebound Miami by a minimum of four boards. In past games, Chicago is a resounding 14-4 ATS when they have grabbed between 53 and 57 rebounds and are 29-14 ATS when they have had four to nine more rebounds than the opponent over the last two seasons. Supporting System Supporting this graded play is a system that has produced a record of 99=51 ATS for 66% winning NBA picks since 1996. Play on dogs after having won five or six of their last seven games and is a top-level team winning 75% or more of their games and now playing a good team winning between 60% to 75% of their games on the season. Here is a second system that has gone 178-114 for 61% winners since 1996. This is one of the best and simplest systems that can used independent of other sports handicapping methodologies and has made profits over the last 16 seasons. Play against home favorites playing on back-to-back days with game taking place in April. Game Situations Chicago has done very well against winning record teams. They are a solid 41-27 ATS when playing against a team with a winning record over the last two seasons; 16-6 ATS versus good three point shooting teams making 36% or better of their attempts this season. Miami is just 18-34 ATS versus good three point shooting teams making 36% or better of their attempts with the game taking place in the second half of the season spanning the past three seasons. So, again playing a combination bet with this 10* Titan using a 6.5 star amount getting the five points and a 3.5* amount using the money line is my firm recommendation. However, this play will be graded as a 10* play using the line for the record keeping. Source: sbrforum.com chicago bulls miami heat sports sbrforum free picks nba news basketball

Avoid your boss's mistakes
After years of hard work, you've made your way through the company's ranks and have finally received the recognition you deserve by getting the promotion you've been dreaming of. And after many years of being overworked and under-appreciated by managers, you vow, "When I become the boss, I am not going to make the same mistakes my supervisors made and treat my employees the way I've been treated."
So, how's that working for you now that you are in charge?
Fifteen years ago, Sheila was hired as one of many receptionists at a huge firm. She went from receptionist to secretary, and now, she has just been promoted to office manager, where she will supervise those she used to work with. Through the years, Sheila has had to take on duties that were outside of her job description, often serving as a personal assistant instead of a business associate. Having to perform and deliver under unreasonable deadlines and conditions, and often not receiving credit for the successful outcomes, Sheila now understands how the skills of lower level employees are under-utilized and undervalued in her organization.
Sheila wants to be the kind of manager that recognizes employee's strengths and potential, applying them to benefit the company. She doesn't want to blindly follow her predecessor's examples, yet she doesn't want to entirely reject them simply to be different. She is determined to apply her own leadership strategies; techniques that will work for her entire team and the company as a whole.
Of course, we all want to avoid the managerial and professional mistakes of our predecessors, but sometimes that's hard to do when organizational culture is entrenched. This would be especially difficult for someone like Sheila who has been with a company for a long time and is now the manager of her former peers.
Making those changes are important to Sheila, but can someone who is in this situation gain the respect of her coworkers; some of whom have been with the organization as long as she has and have become her close friends in the process? How can she do that without resorting to the old style of leadership her predecessors exercised? Can she balance the two, being an effective and impartial professional supervisor while maintaining friendship with her staff?
To Gain Change, Change Must Be Made
What Sheila must keep in mind during her transition from employee to supervisor is in order to gain change, change must be made. In her efforts, she has to lead by example and grow a thick skin. Sheila will have to accept that some of her former peers will understand these changes, while others will try to hold on to the old ways. She has to be fully aware that her old friends will now look at her differently and possibly resent her, but she can't allow this to deter her from her new managerial goals. Instituting a new office culture, where everyone is treated fairly, where managers do what is in the best interest of the whole company will be a trying undertaking for her. Sheila will have to be forceful, yet considerate in making her desired changes.
