When the administration of the Western College for Women – now a part of Miami University – opened its campus to civil rights activists in 1964, the institution followed its long tradition of independence and innovation. An estimated 700 young, idealistic college students from across the north arrived in Oxford, Ohio for voter registration training before leaving to serve in Mississippi to register African-Americans to vote and assist with local community projects, like Freedom schools and the building of community centers.
Today, the story of Freedom Summer has the power to evoke important questions about American identity, public life, engagement, and commitment. This exhibit will focus on local resident Roland Duerksen and former student volunteers Carole Colca and Mark Levy. They have left the legacy of their work in the Western College Memorial Archives. This exhibit, which includes photographs, letters, audio recordings, and an interactive map of Mississippi, will serve as a narrative of their dedication to civil rights and social justice.

- The Aggregation Behavior of Mixture of Alkylmethylaminoxides with Their Protonated Analogues in Aqueous Solution (2005)
- The C12C8MAO aqueous solution at 100 mM consisted of two phases which were optically isotropic and low viscous. Addition of chloric acid induced a phase transition, and the following lamellar (L-alpha) phase was formed in the range of low protonation degree, X = 0.007 – 0.35. When the surfactant was protonated further (X > 0.35), the single L-alpha phase separated again into two isotropic phases. The abnormal phase sequence could be interpreted by the result that mixtures of protonated and non-protonated C12C8MAO were more surface active than each component. The surface and interfacial measurements showed synergism of mixing two components. This synergistic effect arised from the peculiar interaction of hydrogen bonding between protonated and non-protonated head groups. This short-range interaction would cause the C12C8MAO molecules to be more lipophilic with protonation, resulting in the phase separation at high protonation degree. The SAXS measurements in the L-alpha phase also showed the synergistic effect between the head groups. The rheological measurements and microscope observations demonstrated that the morphologies of L-alpha phase could be controlled by preparation routes. It was found that the vesicles were transformed into the classical lamellar phase by the simple process of heating and cooling through the phase transition (L-alpha <-> L-alpha;/L1) temperature. Furthermore, the classical, planar lamellar morphology could be prepared by means of kinetic protonation of the C12C8MAO molecules using hydrolysis reaction. Any classical L phase was modified to the vesicle form under shearing, and its transformation was irreversible in terms of shear force. Various acids were treated as protonation agent in 100mM C14DMAO aqueous solution, and their contributions to the viscosity of solution were examined ranging X = 0 to 1. It was elucidated that the aggregate structure remarkably depended on the ion-pair (counte-ion) thermodynamics. For the Cl-, HCOO-, and H2PO4- ions, no remarkable structural change took place with increasing protonation. For the Br-, NO3-, Oxalate, Tartarate, Tartronate, and SO42- ions, the small micelles of C14DMAO grew up with protonation. For the ClO4-, SCN-, and Salicylate ions, the L-alpha phase was formed with protonation. The interfacial curvature thus followed mostly the sequence of Hofmeister series, while the sulfuric ion was completely excluded from the series because of its divalency. The viscosity change was interpreted quantitatively by the hydration free energy (Delta-Ghyd) of counter-ion. However the divalent counter-ions did not arrange in the same order as the monovalent ones, that could be considered to arise from (1) depressing pKa of C14DMAO with increasing amount of acid and (2) electrostatic force within the diffuse double layer. For different counter-ions, the characteristic scaling laws of viscosity evolution against X were observed. The scaling laws also obeyed Delta-Ghyd. Sulfate, however, could not be manipulated by Delta-Ghyd: regardless of its strong hydrophilicity (high Delta-Ghyd), the excess amount of SO42- caused the micelles to grow up. The micelle growth therefore would be attributed by counter-ion condensation onto the micelles rather than hydrophilicity itself. Comprehensively it was proved that Delta-Ghyd and the ionic valency (electrostatic force) of counter-ion played strikingly significant roles in the structural properties. Trifluoro acetic acid CF3COOH behaved as hydrophobic acid, however, the viscosity trend could stand in neither the sequence of Delta-Ghyd nor the Hofmeister series. The interfacial tension measurments suggested that the CF3COO- ion was incorporated into the micelle, behaving like co-surfactant. Synergism on mixing was also observed in the CF3COOH system, by which the minimal CMC was obtained. The interaction parameter beta indicated that CF3COOH caused the stronger synergistic effect than HNO3. However, some experiments showed the successively hydrophobic C14DMAO with protonation. This would be due to the orientation of hydrophobic trifluoro group in the palisade layer of micelle. The increasing volume fraction of hydrophobic moiety in the surfactant molecule (OleylDMAO) built up the bilayer structure even using the strongly hydrated acids. The L-alpha formation was referred to synergism because the isotropic micellar phase was present on both the sides of high and low protonation degrees. The L-alpha phase melted on elevating temperature, and the subsequent L1 phase was highly viscoelastic. The L-alpha - L1 transition temperatures for different acids were almost correlated by the enthalpy of hydration (DeltaHhyd). And the viscoelastic properties of the L-alpha phases were dependent on the Hofmeister series.

|Chakotay says that the ship has 38 photon torpedoes, and Janeway adds that they have no way to replace them once they are gone. Strangely, during the next seven years the ship will fire far more than this, even excluding those in alternate timelines and suchlike.
|Body Count :
|Factoid :
|At 7 Astronomical units in diameter - just over a billion kilometres - the cloud is the largest living creature ever seen in Trek.
|Quote :
|"A nebula? What were we doing in a nebula? No wait, don't tell me. We were 'investigating'. That's all we do around here. Why pretend we're going home at all, all we're going to do is 'investigate' every cubic millimetre of this quadrant, aren't we?" - EMH to Torres
Starting to run low on power, Voyager locates a nebula which is rich in omicron particles. Collecting them might boost the anitmamtter reserves, so the ship heads into the nebula. Things quickly go wrong, the entire structure of the nebula seems designed to thwart their every effort to penetrate, but Janeway perseveres. Finding a barrier surrounding the core of the nebula she rams through it, only to find the ship being drained of energy within. Unable to ram through the barrier again from the inside, Janeway blasts through it with a photon torpedo. The ship is able to escape the cloud, having lost even more of their energy reserves in the attempt. Unfortunately the EMH's analysis of the cloud are troubling; it is nothing less than a living being, and Voyager has done it irreparable harm in ripping into and out of it. Most especially the breach in the core barrier is too large to heal itself. Janeway takes the ship back in and they manage to repair the breach they created before leaving again.
A fairly silly episode, rescued from being horrible by a few nice moments. Neelix and the EMH's scathing response to Janeway's investigation of the nebula are both funny moments, and although she does have a good reason in this case - trying to top off Voyager's antimatter tanks - there is actually a serious point at hand. One of the basic flaws of Voyager's whole premise is that the ship is supposed to be going home, yet Janeway constantly acts like she is on any other exploration mission, stopping off to examine nebulas and anomalies left and right. Every time they do so, it underscores the point that heading home straight and fast isn't actually especially important to these people. Yes, we can argue that one of these things they investigate might prove to actually be the shortcut home they all want... but if that line of logic holds, why is it ditched instantly in episodes like The Swarm? Here Janeway faced a choice of sneaking across Swarm territory or facing a delay of months to go around. But who knows what interesting things they might have discovered during those months, including a shortcut home! It's fine if they want to take the view that exploring is what they are here for, but if so they stop going on about how important it is to head straight home whenever that's convenient for the plot. Or vice versa, maintain that getting home is important and stop investigating every millimetre of the quadrant on the way!
The cloud itself... meh. Okay, big living thing, wonders of the universe and all that. Ten, fifteen minutes of special effects of various weirdness around Voyager, with a bit of a Fantastic Voyage vibe to it. In the end it just comes across as being kind of silly.

What's an "SAV" cost? BMW X6 starts at $53,275
by Michael Harley (RSS feed) on Apr 10th, 2008 at 7:34PM
Putting one of BMW's newest X6 "Sport Activity Vehicles" (aka "SAV") in your driveway will cost you at least $53,275. That's the announced base price for the 300-hp X6 xDrive35i with its twin-turbo 3.0-liter six-cylinder (yep, that's the same powerplant shared with the 535i, 335i, and the 135i). If you want to pony-up to the 400-hp xDrive50i, powered by a new twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8, that will set you back another ten large as its base price is $63,775. All the details are available in the press release after the jump. %Gallery-11842% %Gallery-13618% %Gallery-7240% [Source: BMW]... Read More

Fernando Alonso says Ferrari will not throw in the towel despite a slugging start to the Singapore Grand Prix weekend.
The Scuderia failed to shine at the Marina Bay circuit on Friday night, soundly beaten by the Red Bull and Mercedes drivers.
While Championship leader Sebastian Vettel topped the timesheets with a 1:44.249, Alonso could only manage a best time of 1:45.691 on the supersoft tyres.. That put him 1.442s off the pace and down in sixth place.
And although the double World Champion concedes Ferrari face a massive task closing the gap, he insists the Scuderia won't give up.
"We can't say this was a good start, because we weren't competitive, but if we consider that last year, at the end of a difficult weekend we managed to get on the podium, we definitely aren't throwing in the towel yet," he said.
"We have yet to analyse the data, but we certainly have to be realistic, because when you have one car in sixth place and the other in fifteenth, it's clearly not the result we were hoping for, without taking into consideration the updates we have brought for this race.
"Now, we have a lot of work to do to find the right set-up and the best strategy. Then we will need to put in a very good qualifying lap and attack from start to finish in the race.
"However, we know that won't be easy because on tracks which require high downforce, we suffer more and, just as in Hungary, apart from the fact that Mercedes seem to be on a par with Red Bull here, there are others who also look strong, like Lotus and McLaren."

Detroit 2010: Audi A8 Hybrid coming to Geneva, no mild hybrids... ever
by Damon Lavrinc (RSS feed) on Jan 11th, 2010 at 4:59PM
As stated earlier – and despite quotes to the contrary – Audi is increasingly serious about alternative propulsion. After pioneering direct injection and pushing the envelope of diesel technology, Audi is looking to electricity for its next round of innovations. And the fruits of its labors are coming this year. In addition to the forthcoming hybrid Q5 (due to arrive this fall), Audi announced plans today to unveil the 2011 Audi A8 Hybrid at the Geneva Motor Show this March. All told, Audi will release eight new models in 2010 and hopes that its continued work in the diesel... Read More

Introduced by Representatives Kevin Brady (R-TX) and Lois Capps (D-CA), the Pulmonary Hypertension Research and Diagnosis Act seeks to:
Give individuals with pulmonary hypertension (PH) longer, better lives
This bill would bring leaders from the National Institutes of Health, Food and Drug Administration, Centers for Disease Control and the Health Resources and Services Administration together with PH patients and caregivers. As a group, they would create a strategic plan to:
Save the government money by improving early diagnosis
This bill focuses on improved health outcomes through early, accurate diagnosis and decreases federal healthcare expenditure related to PH by focusing on improved health outcomes through early and accurate diagnosis. There are currently twelve therapies for pulmonary hypertension. Their effectiveness depends on prompt, accurate diagnosis of the disease. Unfortunately, 75% of patients have advanced PH by the time they are diagnosed, and many must consider more expensive treatments or a heart-lung transplant.
Take a budget-neutral approach that is unique among disease-specific bills
This bill does not ask Congress to spend any extra money. It gathers together existing stakeholders and asks them to make recommendations on how to more effectively and efficiently improve health outcomes for PH patients.
What is pulmonary hypertension? Is it different from common hypertension?
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a complex and often misunderstood disease. PH means high blood pressure in the lungs. In regular high blood pressure, the arteries throughout a person's body are constricted. In pulmonary hypertension, the blood vessels in the lungs become narrowed and the heart has to work harder to pump blood through them making it difficult to get enough oxygen-rich blood to the body. PH is a life-threatening condition.One type of PH is high blood pressure in the pulmonary arteries, which is called pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).What are the symptoms of PH?Symptoms of PH, which include breathlessness, dizziness and fatigue, are often mistaken for those of other, less serious conditions. What is the outlook for someone with PAH? Are their treatments?While PAH has no cure, we are fortunate that there are twelve treatments which help patients feel better and live longerUntil 1995 there were no treatments specifically for PAH. Without treatment, the average time that PHers lived after diagnosis was less than three years. What are some of the challenges of living with pulmonary hypertension?
Who gets PAH and how many people have it?In the U.S. an estimated 20,000-30,000 individuals are being treated for PAH. In some cases of PAH, no cause can be identified. Other people develop PAH because of a genetic link in their families. Women develop PAH more frequently than men, but the disease can impact anyone of any age including infants and children. It occurs across the U.S. and throughout the world.PAH is more likely to occur in individuals with certain associated medical conditions such as scleroderma, lupus and sickle cell disease. Since the symptoms of PAH are similar to those of other, less serious conditions, misdiagnosis is common. Many people with symptoms of PAH often spend two to three years or more seeking an accurate diagnosis.

So we have the xfinity triple play...cable, internet, phone, all in one deal. I don't think it's a deal, in fact if it were up to me, I'd cancel cable. I never watch it anyway. It is so expensive...the last time I looked at the bill I was shocked...it's around $180 per month. But, my husband pays for it and so he insists on keeping it.
It does include the Norton Security Suite. So I thought, great since we pay so darn much for this whole package, this security should be pretty good...right? Wrong! I'm pretty sure we have a virus or SOMETHING. The computer is new; only a few months old and is now SOOO SLOW. Lots of pop-ups; and some pages won't even load or take forever; especially FB; which we all NEED because of scrapping!
So I was wondering what you all use for virus protection..and if its free; that would be great! I just used AVG for the free month...didn't seem to do anything.
PLEASE HELP>>>and use simple terms...I'm no computer genius obviously!!

- Traubeneiche (1) (remove)
- Canopy transpiration of beech forests in Northern Bavaria – Structure and function in pure and mixed stands with oak at colline and montane sites (2007)
- Mixed stands of broadleaved deciduous tree species are increasing in importance in Bavaria and all of Germany, especially in the context of climate change, forest conversion and sustainable forestry. Very few investigations to date have quantified the canopy transpiration of mixed forest stands, and particularly of mixed stands of European beech and sessile oak. This study shows results of transpiration on different spatial-structural scales (within-tree, whole-tree and stand level) as estimated from xylem sap flow measurements, in two mixed stands in the colline-submontane Steigerwald, a pure beech plot in the Steigerwald and a montane pure beech stand in the Fichtelgebirge in Northern Bavaria. Both the short-term control on transpiration via environmental drivers and longer-term control via structural drivers were analysed. Assessed structural characteristics were stem diameter, tree height, stand density, basal area, sapwood area and leaf area index LAI. At the within-tree level the axial xylem sap flow density, Js, declined radially from outer to inner sapwood in beech. This decrease was stronger in small trees than in large trees. Js at any sapwood depth increased with stem diameter. In oak a significant correlation of Js with stem diameter was only observed in the oak-rich stand. Js in the outer sapwood was the same order of magnitude in beech and oak at a given stem diameter. The seasonal maximum daily whole-tree water use, Qt max, of all studied beech trees was influenced positively but non-linearly by stem diameter, leaf area and sapwood area, whereas in oaks such correlations were weaker. The maximum tree water use per unit leaf area increased with tree height in beech. In oak, values were smaller and followed an opposite trend. At the stand level and at comparable LAI or basal area, maximum daily and seasonal rates of canopy transpiration for the mixed stands in the Steigerwald were 2.3 to 2.7 mm per day and 166 to 217 mm per season, while the highest rates, observed in the pure beech plot in the Steigerwald, reached up to 4.4 mm per day and 349 mm per season. Among the mixed stands, Ec increased with a higher contribution of beech to stand level LAI or sapwood area, As. Maximum daily canopy transpiration, Ec max, increased with increasing LAI. Ec max also increased with As and saturated at the highest values of As observed in the pure beech plots. The pattern of the highest values of maximum diurnal canopy conductance among the sites and species studied reflected that of Ec max. At the higher elevation site in the Fichtelgebirge beech trees with comparable stem diameter achieved rates of Js and Qt max similar to those at the lower elevation site in the Steigerwald. Also at the stand level, the two sites with similar LAI compared well regarding Ec max. The high elevation stand transpired about 120 mm less over the whole season. The results show that systematic relationships exist between structure and function in pure beech stands and in mixed stands with oak; at the within-tree, the whole-tree and the stand level.

Friday Discussion: Which Artist Represents Your DnD Vision?
This week's topic: Which artist or artists best represents your vision of Dungeons & Dragons? No, they don't need to be TSR/WotC artists, and they don't need to be RPG artists. Otis, Lockwood, Parkinson, Bosch--all are welcome!
I'll come out swinging first: Darlene. Her Greyhawk maps conveyed a sense of wonder and yearning for adventure that remains unmatched. Love Trampier, love Otis, but if I were to go with one, it'd be her. Her work remains iconic in my perception of D&D.
24 comments:
- Bartoneus said...
Wow, I was actually just looking into this during the week. For me, I started playing D&D with 2nd Edition, so Tony Diterlizzi's artwork in the Monster Manual still shapes how I view D&D to this day.
- May 22, 2009 at 8:11 AM
- Bonemaster said...
I have to say that reclusive D.A. Trampier still influences my vision of DnD even after all these years.
- May 22, 2009 at 8:52 AM
- Shazbot said...
I agree...Tony Diterlizzi's artwork (especially his conceptual work from 2nd Edition Planescape)is my all time favorite.
I also enjoy newer artists like Wayne Reynolds, Raven Mimura and William O'connor.
- May 22, 2009 at 8:52 AM
- trollsmyth said...
If you're going to make me pick just one, it's Keith Parkinson. He and Larry Elmore were the masters of the "you are there" style that dominated in the early '80s, and that strong sense of place, with the fantastical grounded in the realistic, really feeds my need for verisimilitude.
Some day, however, I want to run a campaign based on Den Beauvais' awesome chess pieces.
- May 22, 2009 at 8:58 AM
- Stuart said...
Definitely Russ Nicholson who illustrated the early Fighting Fantasy books as well as some of the monsters in the Fiend Folio.
- May 22, 2009 at 9:08 AM
- Questing GM said...
Hmm....a pretty hard choice to make but it would have to be the more 'modern' artists like Lockwood (can't beat his dragons) and Reynolds (yeah, blame Pathfinder for that).
- May 22, 2009 at 9:21 AM
- Mad Brew said...
Hmmm, is the question "which artist nails my perspective in D&D?"
Then Matt Wilson (Iron Kingdoms).
If it's "which artist do I think of when I think of D&D?"
Then it would have to be Clyde Caldwell, simply because it's his art that I can remember on the covers of so many things.
- May 22, 2009 at 9:39 AM
- Ameron said...
Well, I was going to say Jeff Easley, but after reading the other comments I have to admit that Tony Diterlizzi's work on Planescape was pretty friggin' cool. It's so difficult to choose just one.
- May 22, 2009 at 9:49 AM

Erol Otus, Jeff Dee, and Big John Buscema!

Timothy Truman for me. The images of Isle of Dread, from the Expert Box Set (the first game I bought, go figure) still stick to my mind. Besides that, I was already a Grim Jack fan.

Larry Elmore, without a doubt - his cover and interior work in the red box Basic D&D set was my very first visual cue for the game and left quite an impression. He did the covers for some of the Dragonlance books, too.
- May 22, 2009 at 10:18 AM
- FASERIP said...
Tramp is my favorite D&D artist, but I pick the late David Sutherland, particularly for 'A Paladin in Hell' and those little Sergio-Aragones-style strips he did in the back of the DMG. Those images are etched into my brain, and they show almost exactly how I picture my adventurers.
- May 22, 2009 at 11:00 AM
- labsenpai said...
Seconding a "first vision" vote for Larry Elmore and his box set B&W art. I also had a very impressive calendar of Michael Whelan paintings back in the day (Elric, Pern dragons, etc)
- May 22, 2009 at 11:30 AM
- Wyatt said...
There are too many artists for me to talk about, and it really tends to depend on what I'm reading/obsessed with nowadays. Right now, I'm getting into a lot of Korean comics (manwha) and Sung Woo Park's art is rolling through my mind.
- May 22, 2009 at 11:56 AM
This thread is going to keep me busy on Google for a while!
My vote would have to go for Elmore, Parkinson, AND Caldwell. I wasn't familiar with Caldwell's work before reading this thread. Turns out I have been attributing a lot of his stuff to Elmore, but after Google-ing him, I find that a lot of my favorite "Elmore" pieces are actually from Caldwell!
Go figure. You learn something new every day.
- May 22, 2009 at 11:58 AM
- ATOM said...
For me it would have to be Jim Holloway, followed by Erol Otus and
Jim Roslof. Very iconic early D&D
Jim especially for his brilliant interior pieces in modules like,
Palace of the Silver Princess,
His Lost City cover and interior work,and much, much more.
Erol Otus for his excellent Palace of the Silver Princess & Dwellers of the Forbidden City covers, his
great interior b/w artwork in many early mods.
And Jim Roslof for his brilliant Keep on the Borderlands cover and interior artwork, in many modules of the time.
Iconic D&D Artists.
- May 22, 2009 at 12:17 PM
For me its the works of Gustave Dore. Always sets the tone for my games.
- May 22, 2009 at 1:03 PM
- Chris said...
Jim Holloway. His B&W BECMI and Dragon stuff was formative for me.
- May 22, 2009 at 1:56 PM
- rpgcharacters said...
Two different ends of the spectrum for me.
Jeff Dee for heroic awesomeness - from the lizard man in Rogue's Gallery to the halflings in the Expert Rules set.
And BROM for weird and evil. I love the feel he gave the Dark Sun setting.
- May 22, 2009 at 2:07 PM
- Thomas Denmark said...
Den Beauvais! Dragon #83 with his awesome checkmate cover was the first I ever owned. His cover of issue #93 still resounds in my imagination as the quintessential D&D image.
- May 22, 2009 at 2:09 PM
- Aaron said...
Mark Smylie. (http://www.daradja.com/artesia.php) I like the fact that he can imbue his illustrations with a fantastic feel, while knowing enough about the real world to keep them grounded and accessible.
- May 22, 2009 at 4:20 PM
- Loonook said...
Tony Diterlizzi... his art is quite incredible for the topic, and it gives me a good line into various creatures and their expressions, poses, etc.
- May 22, 2009 at 6:11 PM
- Red Jason said...
Larry Elmore. Definitely.
- May 23, 2009 at 2:36 AM
- shaynepower said...
Another vote for Tony Diterlizzi. Mind you, spending too much time on Dragonsfoot has infected me with a bit of Erol Otus love.

The Top 10 Ottomans
Designers Bernie de Le Cuona and Brian J. McCarthy get the lowdown on these multipurpose pieces that have an impact far greater than their size
By Tim McKeough
It would be a mistake to think of the ottoman as nothing more than a lowly footstool. Produced in a wide array of shapes, sizes, and materials, it's the ultimate go-anywhere, do-anything piece. An ottoman can serve as a side table, a cushy cocktail table, or a playful extra seating element for parties.
"It's the most usable, versatile piece of furniture," says textile designer Bernie de Le Cuona, adding that the ottoman, which gets its name from a deeply cushioned low seat found in Turkey, can work in any room of the house. "You could have one bedside, to place a lamp and a cup of coffee on," she says. "I even have ottomans in my bathroom."
Designer Brian J. McCarthy sometimes uses ottomans as improvised pedestals. "I make these little tablescapes on them, and it creates another layer in a room," he says. Larger ottomans, he adds, support multifaceted relaxationyes, you can put your feet up, but "you can also place a tray on it and serve drinks."
With her U.K.-based company, the South Africanborn designer creates fine linen fabrics, many with opulent paisley patterns, as well as luxe velvets and cashmeres. delecuona.co.uk
BRIAN J. McCARTHY
Known for elegant and eclectic interiors, the New York-based designer is at work on a range of homes around the world, from Texas to Switzerland. His first book, Luminous Interiors, is out this month. bjminc.com

This blog is about getting real with your writing dream. About writing the kinds of stories that attract a readership through an understanding of craft and harnessing the power of the underlying principles that make it so.To receive these posts via email or RSS feed, click on the FEEDBURNER meter below:
AVAILABLE NOW! The new novel from Larry Brooks... a sequel to the critically-acclaimed "Bait and Switch" (Publishers Weekly starred review, 2004 "Best Books of the Year"). Wolfgang Schmitt is back, taking his swagger, his fabled chin and a keen sense of self-preservation to Las Vegas on another undercover assignment that's too hot for the Feds to have their name on. Hijinks ensue, empires are toppled and the Feds get more than they bargained for.
"Crime novelist Raymond Chandler was widely acknowledged in his day as the Poet Laureate of The Dark Side. He died in 1959 and ever since there have been many pretenders to his throne. Among the best are James M. Cain, Elmore Leonard, Robert B. Parker, James Lee Burke—all masters of the craft, all wordsmiths of the first order, but none of them had Chandler's gifts. After half a century of being on the lookout for a crime fiction writer with a voice that rivals Chandler's, one has finally appeared, quietly chugging his way up the bestseller lists with Darkness Bound, Whisper of the Seventh Thunder, Serpent's Dance, and Bait and Switch. His name is Larry Brooks. The guy has a slick tone and a crackling, cynical wit with lots of vivid descriptions (of both interior and exterior landscapes), and the sparkling figures of speech dance off the page and explode in your inner ear. Though as modern as an iPad 5S, he is truly and remarkably Chandleresque. He's dazzling. Check out his new one, Deadly Faux—it's sexy, complex, intelligent; a truly delightful novel with more plot twists than a plate of linguine swimming in olive oil." —James N. Frey, author of How to Write a Damn Good Novel

In the world of writing, story physics can be harnessed in much the same way to make your novel or screenplay the best it can be. In Story Physics, best-selling author Larry Brooks introduces you to six key literary forces that, when leveraged in just the right way, enable you to craft a story that's primed for success--and publication.
"Larry Brooks speaks my kind of language about story. Any writer, even those trucking in the world of nonfiction, will benefit from going deeper into the physics of storytelling as Brooks explains in these pages." - James Scott Bell, best-selling author of Plot & Structure
"Larry Brooks has done it again! If you liked Story Engineering, I suspect you're going to love Story Physics, which dives even deeper into the essence of story. Story Physics is an essential addition to every novelist's bookshelf." - Randy Ingermanson, author of Writing Fiction for Dummies

By JENNA FRYER
AP Auto Racing Writer
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - Brad Keselowski chugged his cold Miller Lite, the beer splashing down the side of his face as NASCAR chairman Brian France watched with amusement as his newest ambassador celebrated the crowning moment of his career.
Dehydrated after 400 miles of racing at Homestead-Miami Speedway, it didn't take long for his sponsor's product to take effect. Keselowski beamed a mischievous grin, wiped away his foam mustache, and tried to figure out how to accept the Sprint Cup trophy from France without dropping his oversized beer glass.
He's fresh, he's fearless and he's certainly not your daddy's NASCAR champion.
What Keselowski might be is just the guy NASCAR needs to appeal to the younger crowd as it closes a season that will likely be remembered for a jet fuel explosion, Twitter, a garage-area fight. If the season-ending image that stays with the public is of a slightly drunk Keselowski being, well, Keselowski, that's OK.
After all, the racing itself was largely forgettable this season, a huge problem for NASCAR, and France reiterated last weekend that work is ongoing on the 2013 cars "to improve" the quality of racing.
So Keselowski's championship reign is critical for NASCAR. He's the face of the sport, the spokesman, the guy who will bang the drum for all things NASCAR over the next few months.
Keselowski proved he was different from the veteran drivers when he tweeted from inside his car during the season-opening Daytona 500, and his addiction to social media and his cellphone was a season-long theme. He's 28, tech savvy and unafraid to test his limits.
"I think because of that, he'll do great," said four-time champion Jeff Gordon, who helped broaden NASCAR's mainstream appeal when he emerged in the early `90s. "His ability to reach out through social media and the younger crowd, he's somebody that takes it, wants to take it, and because of that, he'll put a lot of effort into it. He's entertaining. You never know what you're going to get with Brad."
That's part of Keselowski's charm, and while he is indeed authentic, he very much enjoys being anti-establishment.
A year ago, Keselowski participated in the season-ending celebration in Las Vegas for the first time in his career. Although the awards banquet is the only actual black-tie affair, the week is packed with appearances, events, cocktail parties, receptions and one sponsor-heavy luncheon.
When he boarded the bus that took all 12 drivers to the luncheon, Keselowski was wearing an old pair of jeans and an untucked shirt. The other 11 drivers were all in suits. Someone on the bus offered suggested they stop on the way so Keselowski could pick up something else to wear.
Keselowski, who had announced a multiyear contract extension with Penske Racing just hours earlier, refused.
"I'm a race car driver!" he declared. "Why do I need to dress like that?"
Perhaps he had a point. But it wasn't a fight he was going to win driving for Roger Penske, and Keselowski was upgrading his wardrobe a few weeks later.
Keselowski has changed on the track, as well.
He was rough and raw in the Nationwide Series, and he didn't care who he wrecked when he was trying to get noticed. He wanted a job, wanted to survive in NASCAR and thought it was every man for himself. When he feuded with Denny Hamlin and Carl Edwards, and they tried to explain etiquette, he didn't want to listen.
It was maddening to more experienced drivers, who quickly ran out of patience with Keselowski. Because he was in a developmental deal with Hendrick Motorsports, he got to drive a handful of races for them and sit in on some competition meetings with the big boys.
He was opinionated and outspoken, and the Hendrick group found him wildly entertaining.
"Brad, he rubbed a lot of people the wrong way. He was very aggressive," Rick Hendrick said. "But he learned how to control that and how to race, and he did it in a hurry."
And it happened at Penske, where he was paired in the Nationwide Series with Paul Wolfe, who didn't want the job when first approached. He ultimately changed his mind, and the duo won the championship in their first year together.
Wolfe said he wasn't deterred by Keselowski's reputation, and looked only at the talent level and potential.
"I'm kind of the guy that takes it one day at a time, try to be better each and every day at what I do, and never really looked at it from the standpoint of `I want to go win a championship with him,'" Wolfe said. "It was, `I want to go win races and continue to grow as a team.' We've done that each and every week and every year."

LAFAYETTE, N.Y. -- The Onondaga County Sheriff's office has confirmed that the ongoing death investigation in LaFayette is a homicide.
Around 4 a.m. Monday, the body of Patricia Gryczka, 53, was discovered in a ravine along the 2900 block of Webb Road.
Deputies have not said how she died or when it may have happened. However, they did discover that her home in the Town of Geddes had been broken into and her vehicle was missing.
The car, a 2003 Dodge Neon, was later found abandoned on West Onondaga Street near Velasko Road in Syracuse.
The death has been ruled a homicide, but no other information is being released at this time.
The Sheriff's office is planning to hold a news conference Tuesday afternoon where we expect to learn more about Gryczka's death.

2014 Nissan Versa Note pushes the little hatchback forward
by Steven J. Ewing (RSS feed) on Jan 15th, 2013 at 8:10AM
Alright, truth time: The Nissan Versa isn't exactly our favorite car in the subcompact class. It's certainly competent, reliable transportation, but it's hardly an emotional purchase choice. Perhaps this new version of the Versa, then, can change our minds a bit. Meet the Versa Note – the cuter, five-door version of the li'l sedan, making its debut here at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show. Aesthetically, the Versa Note is a pretty pleasant-looking thing; we've seen it before in JDM-spec. It's a decidedly aerodynamic thing, too, with a drag coefficient of just 0.29. And because of that... Read More

Emergency Response Grants
School districts must work collaboratively with local law enforcement agencies and school security personnel to develop an emergency response system "using evolving technology to expedite the response and arrival of law enforcement in the event of a threat or emergency at a school" (RCW 28A.320.126).

From the track at LeMans to the showrooms of America, here is the story of the car that many automotive experts feel is the most beautiful ever built.
In the late 1950s, Jaguar enjoyed a remarkable string of racing success highlighted by its victories at the grueling, 24-hour LeMans race. The car behind these victories was the D-type, and when it was transformed into a vehicle the public could buy, the re-skinned racer was christened the E-type.
Immediately, the E became one of the most celebrated and sought after cars of all time. Over the years, its reputation has only grown. The very first E-types were almost identical mechanically to the racing Jaguars, and they showed it in their handling and mind-blowing 150 mile per hour top speed. But it was the styling that made the E so famous. See how Jaguar transformed their racer into a viable production model, and how the E evolved over the years. Get an up-close look at the many variations on the theme that kept the sleek Jag so popular, and hear from the men who were behind this automotive legend.

Education Department Hosts Student Teacher Reception
Seven New Licensure Candidates Speak of Their Student Teaching Experiences
November 21, 2013
Senior Amanda Newman chats with Jaime Hibbs (left), her cooperating teacher from Holmes Elementary School, and Michelle Beery, professor of education and WC's area coordinator for teacher education, at Wednesday's Student Teacher Reception. Newman worked with third grade students at the school.
Wilmington College's Education Department celebrated the successful completion of the student teaching component for seven of its soon-to-be graduates by holding its semi-annual Student Teacher Reception Nov. 20.
Each of the seven students — now officially known as licensure candidates — spoke of their experience and recognized a combination of their cooperating teachers, principals, superintendents and WC's field experience personnel, many of whom were in attendance.
Some 30 students will embark upon their student teaching experience during the 2014 spring semester.
This fall's licensure candidates include: Anthony Goodrich, who instructed physical education at Holmes and East End elementary schools; Katelyn Evans, language arts and science, Northmont Middle School; Bethany Kincer, mathematics and science, Northmont Middle School.
Also, Brandi Ahrmann, language arts and mathematics, Blanchester Intermediate School; Danielle Monnier, mathematics and science, Clinton-Massie High School; Abby Meyer, language arts and mathematics, Columbia Elementary School; and Amanda Newman, third grade at Holmes Elementary School.
