How to bet the BCS title game
Line analysis and ATS picks from Vegas experts on the national championship
In the final year of the Bowl Championship Series (1998-2013), Florida State will be playing Auburn at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif. Florida State will be playing in its fourth national title game (1998, 1999, 2000, 2013) in the BCS era, while Auburn will be playing in its second national title game in the past four years (2010 and 2013).
One of Auburn's goals in this national title game will be to try and contain Heisman Trophy winner Jameis Winston. In the BCS era, Winston will be the 10th Heisman Trophy winner to play in the national title game; the previous nine hold a record of 3-6 straight up and ATS in the final game. Going all the way back to 1993, Heisman Trophy winners are just 7-7 SU and 5-9 ATS in their bowl game for that particular season.
According to ESPN Insider's PickCenter, the public is currently backing Florida State at a clip of 58 percent at a spread of minus-9 against Auburn.
Let's get some analysis of the line from Jay Kornegay of the Las Vegas Hilton Hotel and an ATS pick on the game from four wiseguys:
Matchup: Auburn Tigers versus Florida State Seminoles
Spread: Opened Florida State minus-7; now Florida State minus-8.5/-9
Total: Opened 63.5; now 67.5

Three years after the passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, and less than a year before some of ObamaCare's key measures take effect, there are still many unanswered questions about its impact.
Obamacare has raised concerns about increases in health insurance premiums, doctor shortages and any number of issues.
It has also created debate among investors about which stocks will benefit and which will suffer.
Jonathan Smucker says be believes investors will do best in this changing landscape by looking at the specific dynamics affecting each stock.
"The U.S. health care landscape is changing rapidly, so you want leading companies with good track records that are helping to push the industry forward," said Smucker, a research analyst at Marietta Investment Partners LLC in Milwaukee.
Cerner Corp. (CERN), North Kansas City, Mo., provides electronic medical records systems to hospitals and other health care providers.
Despite the fact that the U.S. population spends about 18% of gross domestic product on health care, the White House estimates that $700 billion of health care spending does nothing to improve patient outcomes.
Obamacare is aiming to cut more than $700 million of spending to hospitals and other providers over the next decade, mostly through shrinking reimbursements.
Cerner is among the companies that create efficiencies by giving hospitals and doctors better access to data, Smucker said.
"They help providers improve outcomes, and control costs and the quality of care," he said.
The 2009 Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act offers financial incentives that give providers even more reason to adopt systems like Cerner's.
Cerner has grown its client rolls at an average annual rate of 20% over the last three years, Smucker said. Revenue grew 21% and earnings increased 28% in 2012.
Domestic growth should continue and the company has potential to grow internationally, he said.
The biggest risks here are that federal regulators might change incentives or other programs, or that stronger new competitors might emerge, Smucker said.
These shares have traded in a 52-week range of $67.64 to $98.88.
Biogen Idec Inc. (BIIB), Weston, Mass., makes drugs for treating neurodegenerative diseases, hemophilia and autoimmune disorders.
Biogen last month released Tecfidera, the first oral drug for relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis. Since its launch on April 19, the drug has gained 8% of the market and is "on track to be a game-changer in the industry," Smucker said.
Tecfidera is expected to grow at an accelerating pace, and is a good example of how Biogen takes advantage of its expertise in certain niche diseases, he said.
The company has a number of drugs in its pipeline for treating Alzheimer's disease, neuropathic pain and other autoimmune disorders, he added.
The biggest risks here are those always associated with bringing new drugs to market, such as whether they will work well and whether there are potential side effects.
There is also the specter of expiring patents, but many of Biogen's most important patents are in effect until 2019 and beyond, Smucker said.
These shares have traded in a 52-week range of $126.39 to $231.99.
Both companies have the potential to outpace the S&P 500 index over the next few years, he said.
The Journal Sentinel focuses on one Wisconsin money manager or analyst in this weekly feature, looking at a trend that helps investment pros make their decisions.

Mr. Nobody
A Tearful Pirate's Confession
I do run with pirates,
perhaps unlike imagined.
Believe it or not,
I am ship Chaplain!
Blood thirsty and wild,
always ball and cappin'!
I'm not a shooter,
especially not the Captain,
I really am their Holy
the ship Chaplain.
They run wild, they rape
and they live for pillage,
most return to ship after
there is no more village.
At night they seem to return
to their senses, in dreams,
all the blood and the loss,
haunting them severely it seems.
They stumble into my room,
deep into their dark nights,
they are looking for solace,
a place away from their frights.
They are rough, tough
and as rugged as they come,
but each has a spark,
hidden deeply, like a Sun!
They come, they confess,
they worry about Hell,
they come, they cry,
a long horrid tale to tell.
We talk about youth
and a few nice memories,
They had few that loved them,
that cared, very sad histories.
We speak of a new world, one not so hard,
a distant hope,
that resonates with their internal Spark,
makes it easier to cope.
We talk of mothers up in heaven,
and kids still pure, animals,
dreams, learning, peace,
a world maybe for next time
after their release...
It reminds them that deep inside
there must still be one drop DIVINE...
When it does come forth
ALL will be beyond fine!
(for full effect, read this listening to 'trembling hands' acoustic version by, The Temper Trap-it rolls like the sea)

I, myself, prefer the green one. First, because the clearer colour is much nicer than the blue, specially in the shadowed areas. Second, because the counter is much more straight than the other one, which is a plus when in hurry. And finally, because it looks much more simplistic than the blue one that, sincerely, has too many things for my liking. That's my opinion.

I would prefer to call piles "stacks." It sounds neater.
You could put all kinds of content in them, including pictures, text, sounds, video, user-programmable buttons, etc. And you could link items to other items in the same stack--or even items in different stacks! And if you could attach some sort of script to any item in a stack, that would be hyper cool!
I know... I know... that idea's waaaay too far ahead of its time.
Sources said Longhorn should reach users by early 2005.
Panther must be jam-packed with OS goodness if it's going to take Microsoft more than a year to rip off the feature set!
How sexy does Longhorn sound now? I expect a doubling of Apple's market share in 3 months after release.
Doubling after release? I think you meant before.
Computers can figure out all kinds of problems, except the things in the world that just don't add up.

Unless they track them down and go all clockwork-orange on them I don't really see how the user can be "made" to do anything. They can just you know, put down the phone and shoot themselves.
In fact a coworker lost a friend this way last week. Apparently he (the victim) had been talking to his friends about it for hours on FB and then killed himself. I assume this is all actually FB trying to stave off lawsuits, but I don't see that they could do more, nor that they could afford to ignore the issue.

... This was my first experience of an Icelandic public pool, and as expected I had to derobe in the communal shower area and shower naked before getting in. This is a mandatory part of the Icelandic bathing experience. There were then a series of pools in a variety of temperatures. 44 degrees was the hottest, and was a little too hot to be comfortable. 40 degrees was just right however.

My eyes widened and I flew away from you, disappearing into the distance as I step-flashed away from the man that had held me for so long. I was moving quick and it was hard to track me. I thought, "I must... get away..."
BLAIR! *tries to find u but is unable to* dammit....not again......NO! not gonna lose her this time i promised i will help her that wat i plan on doing
I ran and I ran as fear fueled my flight of fear, I didn't want to die, I didn't want to suffer simply because I existed. Something came to mind as I ran, Jin-shi. Where was Jin-shi? Why did that place come to the front of my mind? Yes... that was where I was going; Jin-shi...
*flits through the tree tops after u knowign where u where ur heading knowing it might be the best place to be to hide
With the simple flash-step, I found myself far away from Scythe, the stranger that I had met, and inside a Temple of God where I appeared amidst an alter. Confused, I turned around a time or two to take in the sight of the place and wondering how I had known to come here, or why I had come here. Images of the tree that I had been bound to flashed before my eyes as did the torture that Scythe had put me through and it was only pain that I felt. At that moment, a woman entered the room clothed in a simple white kimono and a Priestess headdress, "Oh, forgive me, I did not know that you had entered." She bowed with a compassionate smile, "How may I help you?" Unease wavered through me but I bowed in return, "I-i need help... a safe place to stay..." Her eyes widened, "Of course! You will always be welcome in a Temple of God."
looks around losing sight of u i call out to u* BLAIR! BLAIR WHERE R U?! *hearing no responce i jump to the ground* god i hope shes safe, but now i have a bigger problem, that guy....scythe i think his name is......is after me for taking blair away from him....well if it must be it must be *draws my black bladed katana * ik hes comming this way.....its best if im prepared
The sudden pressure of an approaching entity thickened to a point where as it was not Scythe, but a man with white hair and blue eyes. He walked softly, without sound, he had no heartbeat, and had a kind demeanor to him that was odd but true. He looked over and saw Halo and an expression of curiosity as he said, "I mean no harm."
sees the man n grips the hilt tightly* how do i know u mean wat u say? prove to me i can trust u, otherwise turn back or be destroyed *glares at the man with my silver eyes not knowing wats to come, if this man is an enemy i will fight to my very last breath to protect blair.....
He tilted his head at the man before him that was taut like a bowstring. "I have made no attempt to injure you nor do I plan upon doing so," he stated simply. Vampires always made such a fuss and he couldn't ever seem to understand why or grasp the idea of panic or defensiveness. He was always so calm and that was how he preferred it, he thought with a small smile to himself. He sighed lightly and shoved his hands in his white jeans that he wore with a white turtle neck sweater; he wore nothing upon his feet and carried an oak bow upon his back.

As hard as Koei is trying with this one, i'd rather go replay the ArcSystemWorks/Atomiswave one:

While Russia has liberalized certain social liberties after the fall of the Soviet Union, the nation still has the strictest rules governing sexual behavior. President Vladimir Putin has passed a "homosexual propaganda" law, an ambiguously worded edict that makes it "illegal to spread information about non-traditional sexual behaviors" to minors, i.e. those younger than 18 years of age. There are hefty fines for those who break the law, and foreigners are also subject to fines and risk deported.

Published in Asia Pacific
Keywords: Gay rights, Russia, Vladimir Putin, propaganda
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - According to Human Rights Watch, the crackdown is part of Putin's current agenda of promoting conservative values.
Crackdowns against homosexuals are nothing new in Russia. In 1933 the Soviet regime imposed a law banning sexual relations between men - punishable by a five-year prison term. While the law was lifted after the fall of the Soviet Union, homosexual activity is still very much frowned upon.
Gay rights marches are routinely broken up and scenes of police detaining activists. Demonstrators with the Moscow Gay Pride movement were detained in Moscow last week for holding an unsanctioned rally and for "promoting untraditional sexual relations."
Russian gay rights activist Nikolai Alexeyev says that crimes against homosexuals are also on the rise. "Many gay people want to immigrate and they ask me to help [them] get political asylum, fearing for their safety," he said.
A 23-year old gay man was allegedly murdered in the city of Volgograd on the Victory Day holiday. Russian investigators said another man in Kamchatka was also murdered in June because he was gay.
As for the new law, a whopping 88 percent of the nation supports it, even though most have never seen such "homosexual propaganda."
"These restrictions are popular with [Putin's] political constituency" and can be used as a 'political boost,'" director of the organization's European and Central Asian division Hugh Williamson told NBC News. He added that he did not believe the crackdown was provoked by the activities of the gay community.
One underlying reason for the crackdown may because that the Russian population has been steadily falling since the early nineties. It shrank from 148.6 million in 1993 to 141.9 million in 2010, according to the Russian Federal State Statistics Service.
Putin has embraced the Russian Orthodox Church, and his government has introduced various social programs to promote young couples having more children. Putin has also pushed through another law banning gay foreign couples from adopting Russian children. All U.S. adoptions of Russian children have since been banned.
In response, the U.S. state department issued a travel warning for homosexuals in Russia. "Discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation is widespread in Russia, as harassment, threats, and acts of violence have been targeted at LGBT individuals. Government officials have been known to make derogatory comments about LGBT persons," the warning said.

Shelves: non-fiction, biography
My Mitford Mania is well-documented and well-researched, so I opened this book with a hefty dose of realism for the fact that there might be nothing new here. I adore Nancy and all her prickly, sarcastic, strange tics. Her tragic love for the Colonel, her buoyant love for Paris -- I've read it all. The chapters on Gaston and the reams of De Gaulle (YAWN -- I'm sure he is riveting in another context, but here he is just monotonous) were fairly new, though I would have loved more dirt. What I did ...more

The Horror of Love is less a love story and more of a history of the Free French movement and of Charles De Gaulle and his most ardent supporter Gaston Palewski. Since I didn't want to read a book on De Gaulle's struggle to free France, this story had little appeal to me. I did gobble up any and all bits about Nancy and her eccentric and somewhat horrible family but Gaston and De Gaulle left me bored and frustrated, theirs was not the love story I wanted, I wanted the story I was promised in the ...more

If you have read Mary Lowell's book on the Mitford sisters, this book makes a lot more sense. But the problem with that reading order is that it makes an unfair comparison. Lowell's book is a far more complete picture of Nancy. Also, at times, it seems like the political side of Gaston is filler for the story of he and Nancy, to the book's detriment. I didn't get much more out of this book than Gaston's politics but there were a few entertaining sections (Nancy and Gaston's view of the sixties a ...more

Horror of Love is a unique, fascinating addition to the Mitford cannon of books. It covers, in depth, some of the most interesting times and aspects of Nancy's life, like her early love relationships, her involvement in helping victims of the Spanish civil war, her experiences in London during WWII and her life afterward in France. There is a lot more background on wartime and post-war Europe than I've seen in other Mitford books, and it's packed with intriguing information about Gaston Palewski ...more

This book sounded good on the jacket, BUT beware. You must be a Mitford aficionado before undertaking this. The author dives in assuming the reader is not just familiar, but deeply knowledgeable about both the Mitford family and their dramatic history (down to the relationship and histories or various cousins and inlaws), and Nan y Mitford's writing.
Characters both in real life and out of Nancys books are talked about without reference to who they actually are. Many times I found it hard to det ...more

I will admit to a fascination with all things Mitford, and Nancy in particular. A well written examination of the relationship between de Gaulle's go to man and the bitingly cynical author as well an interesting exploration of society and especially marriage in England and France amongst a certain class. My only discontent is with the repeated assertions that despite his involvement with a rather large range of women apart from Nancy, especially towards the end of her life, there is an insistenc ...more

I've read just about everything published about "The Bright Young Things," and the Mitford family (and their associates.) This book tackles a not much discussed aspect of Nancy's life--that of her long love for Gaston Palewski. So many criticize her for not getting him out of her life. She was a successful writer, she was rich (from her own work,) she was independent (to a major degree,) and she was part of "the society of the world." But she lived in a different era, with different values. I do ...more

This is an excellent book, both for anyone interested in European politics of the mid 20th Century and for those into the Mitfords and their world. I have read much about the Mitfords previously, but still found a lot of new material here. I was also pleased to be educated about France during and after WW2 and de Gaulle. If you're after a bit of romance, then you might be put off by all the politics and philosophy but at the heart of the book is a sad love story that has food for thought for all ...more
Apr 07, 2012 Simon rated it 4 of 5 stars · review of another edition
Much, much better than I had thought it would be, although she falters a bit during the 1960s. In fact, they were more interesting apart than together, and she never really builds a case for them as a "couple" outside of their narrowly defined romance (narrowly defined by Palewski, anyway). But it was refreshing to read someone make the case that Mitford's view of the relationship was not "modern", and that she was personally satisfied by her life. I also liked the swipes at Diana.
Jan 26, 2013 David rated it 4 of 5 stars · review of another edition
I find the story very compelling (hence the four stars) but it would have been 5 stars if it had been better written. But I shouldn't complain, I'm glad the author wrote it, as I knew virtually nothing about Palewski before, so I learned a lot (and always find Nancy Mitford fascinating). An unusual love story, to the extent that it is one.
Apr 22, 2013 Blanket rated it 3 of 5 stars · review of another edition
Shelves: mitfords, nonfiction
Really nice portrait of Nancy--I've always thought she was mistreated by some of her biographers and can't stand it when people try to tear her apart for denouncing Diana, who deserved everything she got (if not worse). I wish the book had been entirely Mitford-centric since the parts about Gaston and de Gaulle are dead boring.
Mar 25, 2013 Ginny rated it 3 of 5 stars · review of another edition
I am a longtime fan of books about the Mitfords, but this had too much about Palewski's military and political careers and too little about his relationship with Nancy Mitford to suit me.
In the end, is this a sad story? I'm not sure. I liked both Nancy and Gaston.

Happy Third Birthday, ACA!
Three years ago, President Obama signed into law the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA).
In its first three years, the ACA has already improved the lives of many.
- About 71 million Americans in private insurance plans received expanded coverage of preventive services, such as mammograms and other cancer screenings, flu shots, and cholesterol checks, at no additional charge in 2011 and 2012.
- Nearly 3.5 million people with Medicare saved an average of more than $706 each on their prescriptions in 2012.
- There are 3.1 million young adults newly covered under their parents' health plans.
- Health Centers in Massachusetts have received $133 million in grants under the Affordable Care Act so that they can better serve their communities.
The most significant changes will come in January of 2014. This is when there will be expanded coverage through subsidies for low and middle income families, as well as even stronger consumer protections in the insurance market.
Here in Massachusetts, we are working hard to implement the law and to ensure that Massachusetts' residents will have the full benefits of the ACA. These benefits include federal funding that will allow us to streamline and improve coverage for low income populations, even as we save state dollars. Our health insurance exchange, the Health Connector, is also taking on new responsibilities and enhancing its services. There is much to be done to get ready for January 2014.
But today we'll take a minute to say "Happy Birthday" to a health care law that is already improving the health of Americans and that will bring many more benefits to come.

Nearly three-quarters of online adults cannot understand why anyone would pay for content online, according to research by Jupiter Media Metrix.
Revenues from paid online content will only grow to $5.8 billion by 2006 – up from $1.4 billion in 2002, according to Jupiter Media Metrix, which also found consumer attitudes toward paid content is getting worse.
Revenues for general content will reach $2.3 billion in 2006 (up from $700 million in 2001), while revenues from online games and digital music will equate to $1.8 billion and $1.7 billion by 2006 (up from $260 million and $30 million in 2001), according to Jupiter. But the worst news for publishers that plan on entering the paid content arena is consumer attitudes toward paying for content. According to a Jupiter Consumer Survey, 70 percent of online adults cannot understand why anyone would pay for content online.
"While there is money to be made in the online content business, Jupiter's latest survey and market forecast numbers indicate that the mass market still largely shuns anything that smells like a subscription online," said David Card, Jupiter vice president and senior analyst. "However, in the near term, media companies will create subscription services via packaging, exclusivity and added interactive features. Over time, they must use the gradual U.S. broadband transition to reset industry ground rules and recondition consumer expectations."
According to the Jupiter Consumer Survey, 42 percent of online adults expect over time that people will have to pay for content on the Internet. In a Jupiter survey from August 2000, 45 percent of respondents answered the question the same way. Despite consumer reluctance, Jupiter analysts believe that major media properties are in a better position than they were four or five years ago because they no longer face well-financed start-ups giving away quality programming in an effort to lure new users.
"The online future is beginning to look a lot like cable TV. Established portals will emerge as networks that aggregate premium content and services in packages – both those that portals determine and those that users customize. This will pave the way for content providers to resell premium content through numerous partners," Card said.
Within the general content category, Jupiter expects the highest revenue generating genres in 2006 will be audio/video entertainment ($600 million), adult entertainment ($400 million) and financial and business news content ($350 million). Genres expected to generate the least revenue in 2006 include: consumer/shopping aids ($85 million), content for kids ($95 million) and sports content ($95 million). According to the survey, fewer than 6 percent of online consumers would be willing to pay for kids, sports, video or shopping aid content.
Interestingly, the survey found that, among those online users who would pay for content, 29 percent would likely pay their ISP. But experienced online users – those who have been online for five years or more – are more likely to pay publishers than ISPs or portals. Jupiter analysts believe that online cross-genre, cross-brand packages will lead the way into a cable TV-like tiered services future.
A study of the effects of the dot-com meltdown done by the Pew Internet & American Life Project in November of 2001 found that 17 percent of Internet users had been asked to pay for access to a Web site or service that they once accessed for free. Half of these users found a free alternative, 36 percent completely stopped getting that information or service online and 12 percent paid for the content or service.
While Jupiter predicts digital music content to bring in $1.7 billion by 2006, an Ipsos-Reid study found that fewer than 10 percent of Americans over the age of 12 who have downloaded music off the Internet have ever paid for it, and most of them are unlikely to begin paying anytime soon (see Subscriptions Not Music to Consumers' Ears).
Using the 2000 U.S. census figures, the 8 percent of Americans over 12 who downloaded and paid for music comes to only 4 million people – not good news for online music ventures. In addition, 84 percent of those who have downloaded music without paying said they would be unlikely to pay for streaming or downloading music off of the Internet, even if there was no free music available.

As others see it: New plant may be the future of ethanol
The ethanol industry took another step forward Tuesday when a new Iowa venture broke ground.
This first commercial-sized cellulosic ethanol plant will focus on using primarily the corn plant minus the corn kernels. The $250 million plant is being built near Emmetsburg in north central Iowa.

How Black Intellectuals Have Abandoned the Ideals of the Civil Rights Era
Houston A. Baker Jr. condemns those black intellectuals who, he believes, have turned their backs on the tradition of racial activism in America. These individuals choose personal gain over the interests of the black majority, whether they are espousing neoconservative positions that distort the contours of contemporary social and political dynamics or abandoning race as an important issue in the study of American literature and culture. Most important, they do a disservice to the legacy of W. E. B. Du Bois, Martin Luther King Jr., and others who have fought for black rights.
In the literature, speeches, and academic and public behavior of some black intellectuals in the past quarter century, Baker identifies a "hungry generation" eager for power, respect, and money. Baker critiques his own impoverished childhood in the "Little Africa" section of Louisville, Kentucky, to understand the shaping of this new public figure. He also revisits classical sites of African American literary and historical criticism and critique. Baker devotes chapters to the writing and thought of such black academic superstars as Cornel West, Michael Eric Dyson, and Henry Louis Gates Jr.; Hoover Institution senior fellow Shelby Steele; Yale law professor Stephen Carter; and Manhattan Institute fellow John McWhorter. His provocative investigation into their disingenuous posturing exposes what Baker deems a tragic betrayal of King's legacy.
Baker concludes with a discussion of American myth and the role of the U.S. prison-industrial complex in the "disappearing" of blacks. Baker claims King would have criticized these black intellectuals for not persistently raising their voices against a private prison system that incarcerates so many men and women of color. To remedy this situation, Baker urges black intellectuals to forge both sacred and secular connections with local communities and rededicate themselves to social responsibility. As he sees it, the mission of the black intellectual today is not to do great things but to do specific, racially based work that is in the interest of the black majority.
Baker succeeds in making his case... How fitting that Baker offers not just words here but action too.

The aim of the Slow Art movement is to break with the often frenetic pace of modern life to simply enjoy works of art in a deliberate and unhurried fashion. Slow Art at the Modern invests in this pause with a 30-minute spotlight tour focusing on one work of art. Led by a Modern docent the third Friday of each month, Slow Art at the Modern begins at 5:30 pm.
Third Fridays, 5:30 pm
February 17—Janet Zweig, a New York–based artist working primarily in the public realm, and Dan Maginn, FAIA, a Principal with el dorado inc in Kansas City, have occasionally collaborated with each other on public art projects. "Public art" has the challenging call to thoughtfully engage while broadly appealing to a varied audience. Zweig and Maginn recognize and embrace this challenge.
Docents are available to lead tours of the Modern's building, designed by the renowned architect Tadao Ando. Group tours can accommodate 10 to 60 people and last approximately one hour; these tours must be scheduled at least two weeks in advance of the requested date. A public architecture tour is offered on the first Saturday of each month at 11 am.
A docent-led, twenty-minute tour of the galleries is available at 6:30 pm. Admission to the galleries is $10, $4 for students and seniors, free for Modern members. On First Friday, gallery admission is free for Star-Telegram Press Pass Holders.
Back by popular demand, Heidy Henke will be at the Modern Shop just in time for Valentine's Day, and she has added some new looks to her jewelry line. Stop by during First Friday at the Modern from 5 to 8 pm to chat with Heidi and see what she's showcasing. Purchase a piece of Heidy's jewelry, and we will wrap it in special Valentine's gift wrap.
Docent-led tours in Spanish are offered at 2 pm on the first Sunday of each month, when gallery admission is free. These tours are open to the public and do not require prior arrangements.
Docents are also available to conduct private tours in Spanish, French, German, Mandarin, and American Sign Language when reservations are made at least two weeks in advance.
RongRong&inri, the Chinese/Japanese artist team recognized for romantic photographic series that chronicle their lives together, use this special occasion to offer insight into their unique collaborative practice and their work as featured in FOCUS: RongRong&inri.
In this special program designed for people with hearing loss, participants experience works of art at the Modern through intimate conversation with specially-trained docents and student-ASL interpreters. Two sessions are offered the fourth Tuesday of each month, with limited space for participants at 10 am and 2 pm. Each program lasts 90 minutes and includes a gallery activity. Please make reservations at least a week in advance by calling 817.840.2118. This free program includes admission to the galleries and all materials.
Fourth Tuesdays, 10 am and 2 pm

Chrysler, profitable again, still avoiding wild show stunts
- UAW troops air demands at convention rather than cast blame
- The latest tech is great -- until you have to replace it
- That vroom-vroom … is it real or digital?
- Porsche boss Mueller, 62, says he's young enough to be VW Group CEO
- Why March 30-31 might be the greatest two days of deals at FCA dealerships
DETROIT -- Chrysler Group used to always have the most over-the-top, can't-miss reveals at the Detroit auto show, whether it be crashing a Jeep Wrangler through a plate-glass window or driving cattle through the middle of downtown.
The company's near-death experience seems to have put an end to all that, even now that it is profitable again. On Monday, Chrysler stuck with a straightforward approach as it showed the 2014 versions of its Jeep Compass and Grand Cherokee and a performance version of the Grand Cherokee for its SRT brand.
Chrysler showed a brief video about "passion," had Jeep CEO Mike Manley give short introductions and then drove the SUVs onto the stage. Manley had a bit of a swagger as he noted that Jeep set a global sales record in 2012 and "regained its rightful place as the number-one SUV brand in America."
But it just doesn't feel like a real Chrysler reveal unless there's an hour or two of cleanup required afterward.
Of course, even a run-of-the-mill press conference marks a big step up from where Chrysler was a few years ago. Its stand in 2009 was so cheaply done that a large metal Pentastar logo fell from the ceiling, nearly taking out a journalist below, and it had no formal event at all the following year, because it had nothing new to talk up.
Chrysler's new strategy looks to be showing off by not showing off.

(Brianna Loper)
Laughter echoed from the stand of evergreen trees behind the Clark County Skills Center early Thursday morning as staff members stood in a circle playing team-building games led by Paul Haack, the outdoor challenge course instructor. Standing in the circle and laughing along with his staff was Dennis Kampe, director of the Skills Center.
Both men are retiring this year. Kampe, 67, who has led the school for 22 years, has been an administrator at the school since its inception 30 years ago. He'll retire Aug. 31 from the school that provides technical and professional training to prepare high school students for the workforce. Among the programs are construction technology, dental assisting, fire science and restaurant management. The school also has a dental clinic and a restaurant.
This year, student enrollment is 1,000. Next fall, enrollment is expected to grow by 100 students. Some programs have a waiting list. At a time when the economy is still bouncing back from the recession, the practical programs offered by the Skills Center make sense.
"They're all professionals from their industries," Kampe said about his staff. "They came here to teach what they love."
Like his staff, Kampe's work life began not as a teacher but in a machine shop. Later he taught in the machine shop at Clark College.
Under his direction, the Skills Center has received multiple national awards, including being named among the top three technical high schools in the nation by BusinessWeek magazine.
Outdoor activities
The outdoorsman Haack, 66, has worked for Evergreen Public Schools and the Skills Center for 20 years. He was a school nurse and then a drug and alcohol prevention specialist before Kampe hired him to lead the school's outdoor challenge course program.
Kampe credits Haack's outdoor challenge course program as a key ingredient in the school's professionalism, or soft skills, curriculum. The professional and character growth "is what's valued by our employing community," Kampe said.
All Skills Center students participate in Haack's program, learning problem-solving, teamwork and communication through hands-on outdoor activities in Haack's classroom, the woodsy challenge course behind the school. There, students wearing safety harnesses climb walls or scramble up a 30-foot telephone pole, balance on top of it and then step off. Sometimes, students are suspended 50 feet in the air.
Haack's eyes light up when he talks about the look of accomplishment he's seen in students' faces when they achieve a physical task they perceived to be impossible.
When the students are wearing the safety gear and ready for the challenge, Haack yells out the student's name and "On belay!" That means it's safe to take the risk, to be ready to grow and to change.
As the school year winds down, both Haack and Kampe are "on belay."
Karene "Kari" Duffy, the Skills Center's assistant director, will succeed Kampe.

You should know the importance of interacting with your client, with making her feel well treated, pampered.
Too often the minor things, the miscellaneous details can mean the big difference in the way your customers view you and your salon.
Because of this very direct, personal service, you should know the importance of interacting with your client, with making her feel well treated, pampered.
But it seems we lose sight of this. We forget or overlook the patron by talking with other technicians, by snacking at the table, or by talking on the telephone. The responses are all too familiar: "She's a boring client," or "There were too many distractions."
But how does that client feel, sitting there, a technician holding her hand but otherwise totally ignoring her ... and then having to pay for it as well? What are the chances of that client returning, or recommending the shop to others?
Paying attention to the client is not such a difficult task. True, the distractions may be many, but not nearly as many as those facing Alexa Williams, manager of the beauty salon aboard the cruise ship Royal Viking Sea ... but she manages to do her job amidst all the distractions of exotic ports.
The lesson here is that technicians and salon owners must realize that increasing competition, and the ability of others to offer a quality nail, means that it is the service that is ultimately important.
The client will go where she feels the most comfortable, where she is going to feel wanted, respected and pampered.

Mirage solid and engineered flooring quote: GASP!
We are putting approximately 450 sq ft of hardwood flooring in our new (to us) house. It will be in the LR and FR over a full but unfinished, dry basement. In the past we have had site finished coated with Rubio Monocoat and loved it but also like the ease of installation of pre-finished. We are a family of 3 adults and a dopey 90 lb yellow lab who doesn't really like to expend energy.
Today I looked at prefinished flooring: Columbia, Sommerset, and MIrage both solid and engineered. I knew Mirage was considered the top of the line but OH MY! I really like the MIrage Elegant Nevada Red Oak with Cashmere finish. The quote made me gasp: $12/sq ft for engineered and $13 sq/ft for 3/4" solid. That did NOT include installation!
Columbia and Sommerset quote was under $7 sq but as it so often happens, I didn't like the color as much and it seemed the bevels were more pronounced.
Tell me your opiniion please? Is the Mirage quote nuts? We live in Michigan and would appreciate any input.
Hi emreen63,
I have been checking into engineered hardwood floors prices and they are very high... Have not checked on line the type of floor you like but the one I have been looking at is $12 - 14 installed ... It feels like if it is "almost prohibited", with those high prices, to have hardwood floors in the home... And I would like to change from carpet to hardwood floor my entire home!
Hope you find a better price although the quotes are almost the same ...
Good luck...
That sounds about what I remember; expensive area but not NY. I don't recall their different lines but I do remember some very plastic looking finishes making them look like fake wood, which was very unappealing imo. Maybe all were not that way but I thought it odd for the price. They scratch white. So get a sample and beat it up to see how it looks and what you can do to refinish in 15 years.
Thanks for the responses. We decided to go with site finished and use Rubio Monocoat again. It ended up making the most sense since the house is currently empty and we plan to be here for the long haul. I loved the Mirage but it will have to stay at the flooring store.
Just reading above about engineered floors. We have hardwood floors throughout our center hall colonial home and are gutting the kitchen and adding on master bedroom, master bath, large closet and a glass round room off the kitchen. We were told we should sand, stain and coat the current floors to match the new hardwood that will be in the kitchen and the rest of the addition. But, that means moving furniture and moving out for at least 3 weeks. So someone mention engineered hardwood floors for the kitchen and addition. I do not know anything about them or know if I went darker in the new areas if the 31 year old natural hardwood we have if it would look good etc. Thanks for any help.
If you engage a careful flooring contractor who uses state of the art machines and finishes and employs smart dust control methods, there would be no reason for you to vacate the house while the work is being done.
We also looked at Mirage and got wildly varying quotes. For our roughly 1200 sq ft of wood we needed we got one quote around 16K and another at 25K! For the exact same product and installation. Wow! For that price we decided to go site finished walnut and couldn't be happier with our decision. The Mirage was nice but the site finished is even nicer.
We are in Michigan and Complete Flooring was the lower price, and Verhey was the higher price. I don't know how Verhey stays in business with those prices.
I thought we would have to move out for the floors to dry if we have to redo the 31 year old existing natural oak floors. That is why I wondered if we just darkened and put down wider wood floors in the kitchen if we could "forget" about redoing the existing floors. Also it seems there is only about $1 difference---is that true---between real wood and engineered and prefinished???? So thought real wood would be better?????
