Pope Francis eschews tradition with silver ring
More News from Agence France-Presse
VATICAN CITY—Pope Francis has eschewed tradition and chosen a silver Fisherman's Ring rather than a gold one — and one designed decades ago rather than created specifically for him, the Vatican said Monday.
The gold-plated silver ring, one of the papal symbols that the new pope will receive during the inauguration mass on Tuesday, is modelled on a ring designed by Italian sculptor Enrico Manfrini, who died in 2004, for Paul VI.
"The ring is designed by Manfrini, who created several religious works and it was presented to the pope by the master of ceremonies who had received the model from one of Paul VI's secretaries," said Vatican spokesman Federico Lombardi.
Nicknamed "the popes' sculptor", Manfrini designed religious objects for several pontiffs, including Pius XII, Paul VI and John Paul II.
The simple ring, customarily worn on the pontiff's right hand, depicts a bearded and haloed St. Peter holding a pair of keys — an emblem of the papacy which captures the moment Peter was given the keys to heaven.
It was chosen by Francis out of three ring models presented to him, Lombardi said.
"I don't know if the ring was used by Paul VI. The design stems from that period but it is not physically the same ring. The original ring was melted down but this a ring based on the same design," he added.
The Fisherman's Ring originally served as both a symbol of the papacy and a seal, but these days the pope has a separate seal with which to mark documents.
There had been a lot of speculation over what sort of ring Francis would choose, following his decision to reject the papal gold cross necklace for his own simpler one at his first appearance after his election.
"It is not the first time that a pope has chosen to have a ring made of silver," Claudio Franchi, the Roman goldsmith who crafted the elaborate ring worn by Francis's predecessor Benedict XVI, told AFP.
"It is quite unusual, however, to use a ring which already exists or has been made based on a design which already exists," he said.
The Vatican also unveiled the coat of arms and motto Francis will use — which remain the same as those he used as archbishop of Buenos Aires.
The coat of arms shows three symbols on a blue background: at the top, a sun with the letters IHS in the middle — the logo of the Jesuit Society — and underneath a five-point star and a lily, symbolising the Virgin Mary and St. Joseph.
The Latin motto beneath the crest is "miserando atque eligendo" — which refers to a Bible passage showing Jesus Christ's "mercy" in choosing Matthew, a tax collector, to be one of his disciples.
"The motto recalls Pope Francis' personal vocation and he wanted to keep it," Lombardi said.

I hope that "Something In Red" CMHOF exhibit also shines the spotlight on the fine singer-songwriter Angela Kaset who wrote the Lorrie Morgan song of that title.
Opry Alert! Tonight's show will include a good dose of bluegrass by featuring the Del McCoury Band, Jessie McReynolds, and Bobby Osborne. Casey James makes his Opry debut and Diamond Rio and Craig Morgan will be there too. Grade B!

Nice to see Jerry Reed's name on the list. He'd get my vote. Not only a long career (20 years) as a hitmaker, even longer as a songwriter and, as a session musician, an influential shaper of the Nashville sound.
It looks like I now have another cool HD radio channel to listen to on my Sangean HDR-1 at home here in Los Angeles besides KRTH HD-2 (rock oldies from 1955 to 1967). KKGO, LA's Top 40 FM contemporary country station, has launched a new "Classic Country" HD channel! YeeHaw! They have had a two hour classic country program on Sunday mornings for quite a few months now and it must have drawn some decent ratings to motivate the station owner to pursue this. Here's the official press release (from Country Aircheck):
"Mt. Wilson Broadcasting's KKGO/Los Angeles has launched an online Classic Country format, available now at gocountryclassics.com, as well as on 105.1 HD3 starting next week. Go Country PD Tonya Campos will also program the channel and tells Country Aircheck the format is "based on popular demand for Country Classics from the '60s, '70s, '80s and early '90s that are not played on a regular basis on KKGO. The move is further evidence of the KKGO commitment to Country radio in Southern California."
I would have preferred if they had stretched back to the 1940's, but hey I love the fact the upper range cut-off is the mid 1990's when I first started losing interest in mainstream country. I hate to say it, but GO Go Country! (lol)
Sunny Sweeney News: Sunny's great single "Drink Myself Single" seems to have peaked in the high 30's and is now back at # 41 on the Mediabase singles chart. If her label pushes another single to radio, I'd go contemporary this time with "Fall For Me" with a drastically shortened instrumental intro.
Last Saturday night Sunny headlined a fundraiser concert that didn't seem to get much media coverage, so here is the news blurb (again from Country Aircheck):
"The Sunny Sweeney-headlined 42nd Annual West Texas Rehabilitation Center Telethon collected more than $1.3 million for the facility Saturday (1/21) in Abilene. The total is an all-time record for the annual fundraiser, which brought in $1.2 million last year. Crook And Chase's Charlie Chase hosted the event and Red Steagall was also on the bill."
Darn, Sunny and Red Steagall on the same bill? That concert would have been country/cowboy music nirvana for me! All I can say is Crikey mate! (lol)
Jerry Reed had a 16-year "career as a hitmaker"–based on the span between his first top-40 single and his last.
Reed is certainly worthy, but I say it's a scandal that Kenny Rogers, Ronnie Milsap and Bobby Bare are not in the Hall of Fame. Those three are all giants.
If I had 1 vote for the H of F it would go to Ronnie Milsap.
Interesting WaPo article. Just read it. Songwriters Georgia Middleman and Jay Clementi were also involved in the project.
I would really love to see Connie Smith inducted into the Hall of Fame this year. Same for Garth Brooks.
I don't think Garth will get in; he ruffled too many feathers by wresting away control of his music from the industry like Buck Owens did years before (and advised Garth to do so). I didn't realize June Carter Cash wasn't in the HoF; she should be.
I don't think Garth will get in; he ruffled too many feathers by wresting away control of his music from the industry like Buck Owens did years before…
Which doubtless explains why Buck Owens isn't in the Hall of Fame.
Buck was inducted in 1996
Garth will be inducted eventually
Looking over the list of inductions to the Country Music Hall of Fame, it seems practically random as to which artists get in at what point in their careers–or after their careers. Ray Price doesn't get in until 1996??–Faron Young and Webb Pierce not until 2000-2001??
Garth Brooks will surely get in, but will it be soon or could it be in another decade–who the hell knows? Until someone can explain why Kenny Rogers!–a bona fide superstar who would be a shoo-in for the Popular Music Hall of Fame or Recording Industry Hall of Fame if there were such things–has not been inducted into the country music hall, I wouldn't try to guess when Garth will get in.
(I suppose someone will say that it's BECAUSE he would fit into all those other halls of fame that Rogers has been snubbed by the CMA, but that strikes me as bizarre. He was always known as a country artist in his heyday, and he has to have made tons of money for Nashville songwriters and others.)

UC President Janet Napolitano says the debate over a possible tuition increase at the school revolves around how the state prioritizes higher education.

|Challenge: Generate traffic to an organization's booth at their national trade show
A large HMO wanted to ensure that their trade show booth stood out among their competition's. Because the trade show was made up entirely of other Health Maintenance Organizations, they needed a giveaway item that was particularly unique to differentiate themselves from everyone else.
Solution: A contest involving promotional water bottles was implemented
The organization decided to start promoting their booth even before their customers got to the trade show. A week prior to the show, the HMO sent numbered Water Bottle Carrying Shoulder Straps to their top clients. Included in the mailing was a card that gave the HMO's booth location, and a message that said to stop by the booth to pick up a water bottle to attach to the strap. The letter went on to say that the HMO's booth would have a light board featuring one number every hour. If the client was at the booth, and their number came up, they would win a trip to Jamaica.

The I'mPOSSIBLE conversation event has gone from strength to strength in just a year of its existence. Having attracted panellists such as Bonnie Greer OBE, Charlene White, Angela Ferreira, Margaret Casely-Hayford, Michelle Gayle, Hope Powell CBE and many many more stellar British women of colour who constantly and unapologetically define success on their own terms. The ultimate embodiment of I'mPOSSIBLE.
Because of the uniqueness and effective way the event brings women of colour in Britain together in an empowering, positive, inspirational and nurturing environment it continues to grow and gain support from the likes of Global FTSE 100 brands such as Pearson plc. and the world's leading beauty company L'Oreal and their premium Afro hair care brand; MIZANI UK.
We caught up with Tumi Soyinka, MIZANI UK's product manager to see why they continue to power the imagination of I'mPOSSIBLE.
You supported the very first I'mPOSSIBLE conversation a year ago, what attracted you to continue your sponsorship?
The I'mPOSSIBLE conversation is simply an extraordinary event that places value on empowering women of colour. The execution of the event is premium yet intimate – almost with an exclusive feel. All these elements compliments the MIZANI brand ethos.
How do you think I'mPOSSIBLE fits in with the MIZANI brand?
The keyword to answer this question is, 'ASPIRATIONAL'. MIZANI is an aspirational brand and our core value lies within beauty & innovation in balance. The formulas of our products are luxurious and are created in our dedicated Institute for Ethnic Hair & Skin Research in Chicago. There is a substantial amount of investment that goes into the research of formulas that work best on our skin tones and hair types. If the formula isn't right, it doesn't leave the labs. We seek perfection in our products, in order for women to experience sensational results with their hair.
I'mPOSSIBLE is also an aspirational brand, drawing inspiration from women of colour in high places who have achieved great successes (not without struggle however). These women are clear signifiers that all becomes possible when you dedicate time, effort and perseverance in balance. Effectively, MIZANI and I'mPOSSIBLE share the same attitude of determination, progress and success.
What does MIZANI stand for, and where do you see it heading in the future?
MIZANI stands for several things: professional and premium beauty, innovation and aspiration.
MIZANI actually means 'BALANCE' in Swahili and this is based on maintaining the correct equilibrium of protein and moisture in the hair to maintain our hair types.
I see MIZANI growing and reaching a wider audience in the coming years. It will continue to be the haircare brand that women of colour will reach to, for that premium beauty but on a somewhat larger scale. The demand for this brand is huge, which only indicates the potential that we can reach, given time
Why is MIZANI a must have for women of colour?
Because you can be rest assured that the technology and innovation behind our products are specifically formulated for our hair types.
What makes MIZANI 'possible'?
Women of colour and those with excessively curly hair textures are what makes us possible. You are the reason why we are driven to create the best products to care for your hair.
We often hear that Afro hair is 'unruly', 'difficult to manage', 'nappy' and other not-so-complimentary expressions, when actually it is beautiful and full of character – whether it is naturally worn or relaxed. With the right routine and great products like ours, our hair is possible, so let's be proud and celebrate our individual hair textures.
The next I'mPOSSIBLE conversation is taking place on Wednesday June 6 at 6pm.
Tickets are available via eventbrite and cost £25 (concessions available)

Congress President Sonia Gandhi flagged off the first set of coaches from the modern Rs1,685 crore rail coach manufacturing factory inaugurated by her on Wednesday in her Raebareli parliamentary constituency.
The project was commissioned a few weeks after the Congress got the railway ministry go-ahead after nearly 16 years — a portfolio last held by former ally Trinamool Congress before its pullout of UPA in September.
The foundation stone for the Railway Coach Factory (RCF) — the biggest project in Rae Bareli and the third in the country — was laid in January 2009 just before Lok Sabha polls and the then BSP government in Uttar Pradesh had termed it as a "political gimmick" on the eve of polls to gain political mileage.
"I here want to mention those who spread rumours against the project...But it has been completed in such a short time", Gandhi said at the inaugural function at RCF in Lalganj.
The land for the project was initially denied to Railways, which had then blamed the BSP government for delaying the start of project. Stating that the factory would not only generate employment opportunities for locals but also ensure development of the area, Sonia said full compensation was given to farmers by the railways for their land.
"The regional industries are likely to grow and locals will find new employment opportunities", she added.
Before flagging off 20 coaches produced in the factory which would be used in Rajdhani and Shatabdi trains, Sonia inspected them and said she was feeling elated. "Railways on which 1.5 crore passengers travel daily is crucial for the economy of the country. It is the biggest employer in which over 15 lakh employees work", Gandhi said in the presence of railways minister Pawan Bansal.
Distributing appointment letters to 14 locals whose families have contributed their land for building the factory at Lalganj, Sonia said, "I have seen how people in far away places in Jammu and Kashmir were enthused when the service started there."
The country's largest public transporter had acquired 541 hectares of land for the factory, of which 283 hectares belonged to private land owners.
Once fully functional, 1,000 coaches are expected to be rolled out annually, said a railway ministry official, adding that these coaches would have higher carrying capacity and provides more comfort to passenger. Apart from resistance to corrosion, the coaches will be equipped with modular fittings, microprocessor controlled air-conditioning and environment-friendly controlled discharge toilet system.
Sonia also laid the foundation stones for doubling of Utrahtia-Rae Bareli rail section and modernisation of Rae Bareli station through development of a multi-functional complex. The concept of multi-functional complexes envisages better facilities for passengers such as shopping plaza, food stalls, book stalls, parking lots, restaurants, ATMs and variety stores at stations.
On the occasion, Bansal announced providing of stoppage to Padmavat Express at Bachharawan station and stoppage to Rae Bareli-Allahabad Intercity Express at Harchalpur station.

Suspect in Calif. school shooting charged as adult
Alldredge said she is at a loss to explain why some students at the school bullied the teen that she tried to befriend.
"They were just total jerks to him," she said. "I just don't know why he was so misunderstood. I was his friend."
Oliver often walked the hallways of the school alone, she said. He read books such as those by Tom Clancy. Most recently she saw him reading "Eragon," the story of a young boy who finds a stone that turns out to be a dragon egg. The boy and his dragon eventually flee their hometown to search for rebels to overthrown the evil king.

Yo bro, really like the soldier guy and the girl in #14. The main thing that I thought of looking through this is be more sparing with your use of black/dark values, things are rarely black and you will have to think more critically to imply forms with a lower range of values
May 7th, 2012 #19
thanks! I definitely agree, i think ive been using real low values to kind of escape from defining my forms, haha. Appreciate it, and 'll definitely try to implement that advice!

Hi LePush, thanks for the comments.
I really like your graphic style and you have some flare for mark-making. As for your more realist drawings, I would echo what TFsean said - less black, more half-tones. Apparently Sargent would work almost exclusively in half tones at first when painting, leaving the darks and highlights until last, to use as accents. Also, to check your drafting, flick your eyes back and forth between your photo ref and your drawing - you will almost see the bits you have wrong "moving" as you do so.

I love the Machinegun sketch. It has a lot of energy. The profile of the guy with the helmet thing isn't that good. You would want to do some skull studies to improve the proportians of the head. When I first did them I was blown away by how helpful they are. It's like magic to the head, beyond anything else in the field of face-improvement and such.
Also: I saw the drawing in post #8 in the comments in Sinix' video before I found your thread :p The world is small isn't it?
May 10th, 2012 #27
thanks guy! ive been workin on the head for a while, but im still learnin, for sure. I'll keep up the studies! haha and yeah, thats pretty weird, eh? Sinix is pretty sick though, glad were both watchin.

So i come from a long background of animation, haha, thought id show some of my little creations. these must have been...about 2 years old?
May 11th, 2012 #30
There's already some style showing through in some of you pieces and that's cool. I'm no animator, but animations from last post contain some nice timing.
I'd advice you to start concentrating on constructing the figure. It will help you understand the planes of the body and reduce flatness (for instance in the Ben Affleck portrait from #5). Check out Michael Hampton's "Figure Drawing: Design and Invention". Glenn Vilppu and Bridgeman are also good resources when it comes to figure construction.
What works for me when drawing from reference / life is to measure allot. Every line if necessary. I also try to check allot of angles against eachother.
Hope this helps out, let me know what you think of those resources if you decide to check them out.
Edit: post #12 shows you're already studying the planes, good stuff. Try to do some more and define the planes with harder edges. These soft ones make it hard to see what's going on.

AMD hasn't been doing well, and it's something we've addressed before. Nvidia has a complete stranglehold on the desktop GPU market – and even the release of the upcoming R9 390X isn't likely to change that. Rumours have abounded that the chip-maker could be gobbled up by Samsung – which as I've said, would probably be a good thing seeing as they otherwise have close to no research budget. The situation is bad. And according to one analyst firm, it's going to get worse.
Industry analyst Michael Pachter likes to make predictions. He has all kinds of views on the future of the industry and what we can expect going forward. Now he has turned his attention to EA's upcoming titles and his predictions might turn out to be correct.
I love the fact that there are so many analysts and researchers in the field of video games. The latest batch of research sounds quite in-depth, and appears to indicate that the massive investment in the Destiny IP could well pay off sooner than expected.
The sudden, unexpected dumping of Kinect will undoubtedly have big consequences on this silly console war. How big a consequence? Some analysts think the Xbox One is now poised to overtake the PlayStation 4 in sales next year.
The gaming industry is pretty much screwed. Publishers are losing money left, right and centre to the point of breaking. In an industry where 3.5 million sales in less than month is a failure, something's quite clearly wrong. The gaming industry needs saving – and according to analysts the one thing that'll save it is Grand Theft Auto V.
I love Nintendo's new console, and I hope my enthusiasm for the machine came through in my review. While the rest of us were still on leave, Gavin posted some pretty heartening news about the Wii U's sales to date, saying that the machine had topped 2 million units sold. It's obviously not quite doing the brisk business the original Wii did, but that seems pretty decent, right?
It's the headline that Battlefield fans have been screaming for months and now it seems like the financial analysts are wondering the same thing as two analysts, Michael Pachter and Ben Schachter, have been speaking to GamesIndustry and have stated that they are worried that Call of Duty has peaked.
There's a new Call of Duty coming this year. Of course there is. Thing is, this time it toys with the established formula, adding a few things that might actually pass of genuine innovation - and as far as I'm concerned, sounds really interesting. The question is, are those changes enough to keep the general gaming public interested in a franchise that many believe has become stale over the years?
Though it broke launch day sales records (like the Call of Duty before it), Modern Warfare 3 doesn't look like it best Black Ops' overall sales. Will Black Ops 2 manage to smash sales records again this year? Analysts are divided.
Last night Rockstar put up the trailer they promised when they first teased Grand Theft Auto V's announcement. The trailer's causing a stir on the internet, with gaming communities abuzz with dissections of the trailer, piecing together subtle clues found in the video to better guess what we might expect from the game when it does release.
The professional guessers, the analysts who're paid to totally make stuff up have been hard at work too, and here's what they believe GTA V will do in terms of sales and release date.
After Nintendo slashed the price of it's Nintendo 3DS analysts have turned their thoughts to Sony and the (now) incredibly expensive PS Vita that Sony will be releasing in Japan this year and into the rest of the world in 2012.
When the Vita was first announced it's price target of $250 to $300 was competitively priced compared to the 3DS of $250 but now the 3DS is being flogged for $170 which is a far more enticing price point.
According to one analyst, sales of Nintendo's new handheld have slowed down to a trickle following its launch.
Of course, this is generally the sort of thing that happens after a new console gets launched; people go in to a mad frenzy buying it on or near release, with the more patient gamers waiting until there are actually games that they want to buy.
Michael Pachter, the videogame industry's favourite analyst has spoken again. Analysts, for whom it is apt to have the word "anal†in their titles on account of the amount of faecal matter that they spew from their mouths, sometimes do actually get things right – and I suspect this will be one of those times. Pachter reckons that sales of New Super Mario Bros Wii, the 4 player co-op Mario game that harkens back to the series' halcyon days will "Shockâ€
I love analysts - professional guessers, if you like. They sift through graphs, sales data, industry goings-on , poring over every minute detail – and then make stuff up. Back in primary school, we called such people "liars,†but now that we're all grown up they have a much nicer designation. My own ranting aside, analyst reports are always interesting – they consistently contain some sparkly gem hidden in their mass of conjecture.
Michael Pachter, Wedbush Morgan's infamous resident videogame prognosticator has compiled yet another report; this time declaring that - as a result of Microsoft's Japanese failure and Sony's HD video standard domination – Sony will climb to the middle of the heap, finally beating out its American competition with regards to consoles sold.
The devil though is in the details – When does he expect them to take the lead?
For some reason the videogame industry is peppered with people who have opinions, and want them known. When you work for a business focus firm, instead being called "opinionated†you get to be called an analyst. This time, that analyst is Doug Creutz of Cowen and Company who, in an interview with Gamasutra had a few words to say about the new motion control schemes debuted by Sony and Microsoft.
While the expected announcement of a lower price of Sony's 7th generation home console failed to materialise at their E3 conference, hope rears it's head in yet another analyst-driven price cut rumour. According to Sterne Agee analyst Arvind Bhatia, his sources indicate an August price reduction, timed to coincide with this year's iteration of EA Sports' Madden - a franchise known for driving console and software sales. Whilst the call for lower console prices is strong from gamers and publishers alike, an august price cut seems unlikely.

Roppongi Hills
6-10-1 Mori Tower, Tokyo, Japan 106-6155Map
+81 03 6406 6000
Symbolized by the 54-story Mori Tower, Roppongi Hills is a mega complex that incorporates upscale shops, restaurants, a movie theater, a museum, and an observatory. Part of an ongoing process to reshape the image of Roppongi, this project has helped to create a classier side of this city, which is notorious for its sleazy nightlife on the weekends. The diversity of entertainment at this site provides an ideal place for families and couples to spend the day, and offers enough splendor for the casual tourist who is looking to sightsee and experience modern Tokyo. - Erin Sanchez

Bryan Rommel-Ruiz Publishes "American History Goes to the Movies"
Associate Professor of History Bryan Rommel-Ruiz has a new book out, titled "American History Goes to the Movies: Hollywood and the American Experience." The research and writing for the book evolved from the film and history class that he teaches at Colorado College. Using films from many different genres, the book draws together movies that depict the Civil War, the Wild West, the assassination of JFK, and the events of 9/11, to show how viewers use movies to make sense of the past. "American History Goes to the Movies" addresses not only how we render history for popular enjoyment, but also how Hollywood's renderings of America influence the way Americans see themselves and how they make sense of the world.

Brew Tasting Proves to be Popular — and Educational
Beer is the most widely consumed alcoholic beverage in the world, and few would argue that it is also the most popular alcoholic beverage on college campuses.
That's why a group of CC students recently organized a beer tasting dinner, in which a variety of beers were paired with accompanying foods.
"Because of the relationship between alcohol abuse and sexual safety, I find it important to have events on campus that foster a safer drinking environment," said Nathan Brand '11, who was instrumental in organizing the Dec. 8 Brew Tasting, which was held in Gaylord Hall and attended by 60 guests. "While some campus events already do serve alcohol for students to enjoy, they do not incorporate an educational component. The purpose of events such as Brew Tasting is to teach people how to enjoy alcohol as an art form, rather than just simply as a means to an end."
"The event was an opportunity for students over 21 to experience alcohol in a mature setting, in which they learned about beer and beer-food pairings. Students also had the opportunity to interact with staff member in a social setting," said Heather Horton, CC's sexual assault response coordinator.
Brand, who was last year's co-chair of SOSS (Student Organization for Sexual Safety) enlisted seniors Nick Hawks and Chris Shambaugh to lead the event, which featured eight craft brews.
Hawks, who writes the popular Brew-HaHa column in the Catalyst, said one of the goals of the Brew Tasting was to educate fellow students so they would know and appreciated what they were drinking.
He and Shambaugh selected craft beers in a variety of categories to complement a five-course meal that started with grapes and cheese and included a Caesar salad, red vegetarian chili, lamb chops, and tiramisu for dessert. "We wanted students to sip slowly and learn to identify the flavors they were experiencing. We asked them to describe and label what they were tasting," Hawks said.
He labeled the evening a success, adding that students came up to him after the event, saying they had no idea beer could have so much complexity. The evening also had an inferred lesson, he said, which was that beer can be sipped and enjoyed; that drinking doesn't have to lead to drunkenness, and that imbibing with a meal is a form of drinking that is an enjoyable way to consume alcohol.
The event was sponsored by Horton's office, along with SOSS and Campus Activities. Hawks said there are plans to hold another Brew Tasting in the spring semester, with a completely different line-up of beers. "There's just so much great beer out there that I want to introduce people to," he said.

Tiger-rific! Residential Life and Housing Wins CC Fridays Contest
Apparently, CC is a well-dressed group. Or at least, when it comes to donning CC apparel.
Erin Thacker, coordinator of sports services, reports broad participation in the CC Fridays Best Dressed Contest, which
began in Block II and concluded last week. The winner was Residential Life and Housing, which submitted five photos taken on five different Fridays. For their donning of black and gold and all
things Tiger, they will receive a complimentary pizza and pasta party.
Departments across campus submitted "Friday photos" to Thacker. "All in all it was a great contest and we had
wonderful participation across campus. It was great to see pictures come across my email each Friday. Each picture was even more creative than the one before," she says.

KRCC Receives $5,000 Grant for Local News, Cultural Programming
KRCC, Colorado College's NPR-member station, has been awarded a $5,000 grant from the Inasmuch Foundation.
Delaney Utterback, KRCC's general manager, said the grant would be used to help support KRCC's local news and cultural programming.
"We're thrilled and grateful for the support from the Inasmuch Foundation and look forward to making our local news and cultural programming even better." said Utterback.
KRCC's mission is to offer broadcast radio programming that reflects Colorado College's commitment to the liberal arts and diverse ideas and people. In 2003, KRCC added news coverage from the state capitol, the "Capitol Coverage Project." On Jan. 1, 2005, KRCC began broadcasting locally in the form of a weekly news magazine entitled "Western Skies." Two years later, "Western Skies" evolved into KRCC local news with daily news segments broadcast during NPR's "Morning Edition" and "All Things Considered." "Western Skies" recently returned as a monthly news magazine, focusing on a single topic affecting the Pikes Peak region and southern Colorado. In the spring of 2009, KRCC expanded its coverage of local culture and history with the online program "The Big Something."
In 2007, the station completed the installation of hybrid-digital (HD) broadcasting equipment and upgraded its signal to HD. This included multi-casts with two additional channels of programming on HD2 and HD3, in addition to an HD simulcast of the main channel. HD2 is a mix of national news and music programs. HD3 is a CC student-run station called the Sounds of Colorado College or SOCC.
Currently, the station is heard in Westcliffe, Gardner, Limon, Manitou Springs, Trinidad, Buena Vista, Salida, Villa Grove, Canon City, Colorado Springs, La Junta, Raton, N.M., and globally online at www.krcc.org.

CC Recognized as a Leader in Study Abroad
Colorado College is recognized in the Open Doors 2010 Report on International Educational Exchange as a school in which more than 70 percent of its students study abroad at some point during their undergraduate careers.
The Open Doors report is published annually by the Institute of International Education with funding from the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. For the first time in the 25 years that the data has been tracked, the total number of U.S. students studying abroad for academic credit decreased, albeit by 0.8 percent. However, the report found notable increases in the number of U.S. students studying in less traditional destinations. Fifteen of the top 25 destinations were outside of Western Europe and nineteen were countries where English is not a primary language.
While large institutions dominate in terms of total numbers of students studying abroad, many smaller institutions send a higher proportion of their students abroad. Colorado College is one of 29 such institutions.
The complete report can be viewed at: http://www.iie.org/en/Who-We-Are/News-and-Events/Press-Center/Press-Releases/2010/2010-11-15-Open-Doors-US-Study-Abroad

'Focus' on CC and Win a New Camera
The annual Flash Photography Club contest is underway, which means it's time to turn the lens on Colorado College. The contest is open to faculty, staff, and students, and the club has $800 worth of prizes available, including a fully manual Canon Powershot S95 and a waterproof digital camera.
The theme this year is "focus on CC" (academics, activities, life). This can involve anything that represents the CC experience, and many of the submitted photographs will be displayed on the Colorado College website.
To submit, go to http://cr-multimedia.coloradocollege.edu/rs/, enter your CC username and password, then click the "contribute new resource" link. [Note: this site is only available on campus.] Then simply fill out the submission form and upload your photographs. Deadline for submissions is 10 p.m. Friday, Dec. 7.
Contest rules include:
- All submissions must be about CC.
- You may only submit your own work. Do not submit someone else's photographs.
- Each entry must consist of five photos, with at least one in each of these categories: student life, student activities, academics.
- Flash Photography Club will do the initial screening to determine which entries will be displayed.
- You retain all rights to any photographs submitted, but you grant Colorado College non-exclusive rights, in perpetuity, to use them for college purposes.
The message of "focus" can be reinforced with high-quality photography that literally "focuses" on the people and environment of CC.
Make sure that graphic elements capture the power-surge experience of life on the Block Plan; the intense energy that ebbs and flows and ultimately creates a balance between hard work and hard play.
Instead of panoramic shots of crowds of graduates, classes on the quad, or sports teams (which could be taken on any campus and do not differentiate CC or its experience), highlight individuals or elements of Colorado Springs and the CC campus. Get close up and personal in tone, content, and photography.
Possible topics: landscape views, library studying, architecture, studying abroad, face shots, club activities, whatever expresses the Colorado College experience.

"Tiger Pride – Eight Decades of CC Hockey" to Air on Television Nov. 26
CC hockey fans, if you haven't already seen the recently released film featuring your favorite hockey team, you'll get your chance over the Thanksgiving holiday.
"Tiger Pride – Eight Decades of CC Hockey," available on DVD since last month, makes its prime-time premiere on the NHL Network at 7 p.m. EST (5 p.m. MST) Friday, Nov. 26.
The movie, produced by Rival Films, LLC, traces the CC hockey program's evolution from a rag-tag industrial league outfit in the mid-1930s to its two national championships in the 1950s to its present-day status as a perennial powerhouse in the ranks of NCAA Division I.
Narrated by Mike "Doc" Emrick, voice of the NHL on Versus and NBC, it features rare footage and photographs dating back more than half a century as well as interviews with players, administrators, and other key individuals connected with Tiger Hockey.
The film makes its television debut 2½ hours before the Tigers play host to the University of Alaska Anchorage in the opener of a two-game WCHA series at the World Arena that same night.
A DVD version of the film is available online for $14.95 at http://www.thewchashop.com/category_s/270.htm and http://www.rivalfilms.com/store.
It also can be purchased in person at the Colorado College Bookstore, as well as at the World Arena during all CC home games.

Venture Grant Program Receives Equivalent of $2 Million Endowment
Colorado College's venture grant program, in which students are awarded up to $1,000 for research or other academic projects of their choosing, has received a grant from the Keller Family Foundation that will fund the program indefinitely.
The program, which will be named the Keller Family Venture Grant Program for Student Research, allows approximately 100 Colorado College students to imagine, articulate and pursue original research or an academic project of their choosing. The Keller family will provide 100 percent of the grant funding, which runs about $100,000 each year, making the gift the equivalent of a $2 million endowment.
Jeff Keller '91 made the announcement on behalf of his family, parents Dennis and Connie, and brother David '95, at the 2010 Venture Grant Forum, held Nov. 9 at Colorado College.
The venture grant program was established at Colorado College in 1970. While some schools have money available for advanced research, the funds are largely for conventional academic, lab or classroom research and are not broadly available to students. At Colorado College, the spirit of the venture grants program is different: It is expected that a student's experience will be an adventure, a departure from the norm, whether the research takes place on campus or on some far corner of the earth.
The 92 venture grants awarded during the 2009-10 academic year include:
- Magdalena C. Reinsvold '10, research in India for a project titled "Politics of Polio: The Resurgence and Reemergence of Poliomyelitis in India and Nigeria"
- Anais Gude '10, research in Beijing, China, for a project titled "Aging in Beijing: An Analysis of What it Means to Grow Old in China's Capital"
- Will Rosenheimer '10, research in Guatemala for a project titled "Where Does Your Coffee Dollar Go? Democracy, Transparency and Social Consciousness of Guatemalan Fair-Trade Coffee Cooperatives"
- Drew Thayer '11, a project titled "The Effects of Glacial Recession on Geohazards in the Cordillera Blaca"
- Kerry Cavanaugh '12, a project titled "Western Medicine Practitioners in Rural Uganda"
Susan Ashley, dean of the college and the faculty, says "There are three keys to a successful venture grant. The first is to imagine the project in the right way. The second is to articulate the project vision. And the third is to execute."
All proposals for a venture grant must have academic merit; applicants must have a faculty sponsor and the maximum grant awarded is $1,000. For more information, go to: http://www.coloradocollege.edu/resources/dean/VentureGrants/

EMU Getting New Steel Plate Helmets?
A year after redoing its uniforms, Eastern Michigan is apparently doing its best Oregon impression with a wild new steel plate helmet.
The college football world first saw these courtesy of EMU tight end Tyreese Russell, who tweeted out a picture of the new lids on Monday night before removing it from his feed. We're not sure what the Eagles' brass was thinking — the matte lids they sported last year looked pretty sharp. Why add an alternate helmet that a) Makes the viewer go cross-eyed and b) Will clash with EMU's uniforms?
This latest foray in EMU's "Time to Fly" initiative has come crashing back to earth. Grade: D

Wesley So opens Tata stint with a bang
Filipino Grandmaster Wesley So outmaneuvered Hungarian GM Richard Rapport Saturday (Sunday morning in Manila) to launch his bid in the super-tough Category A of the 76th Tata Steel Tournament Masters in Wijk aan Zee, the Netherlands.
So, the 20-year-old finance business sophomore at Webster University in St. Louis, Missouri, won with the black pieces in 56 moves of the Larsen Opening after Rapport (Elo 2691) resigned with a critical material disadvantage.
When the Hungarian surrendered, the top Filipino GM (Elo 2728) had two pawns, a queen and a bishop as against Rapport's four pawns and queen.
So, the world's 24th-ranked player with five international victories under his belt last year, had sewn up a ploy that would force an exchange of queens in a couple of endgame moves.
Other first-round winners in the round-robin Category A competition included second seed American GM Hiraku Nakamura, third seed GM Fabiano Caruana of Italy, and fifth-ranked GM Sergey Karjakin of Russia.
Nakamura (Elo 2786) outlasted German GM Arkadij Naiditsch (Elo 2737) in 65 moves of Nimzo-Indian defense, Caruana (Elo 2782) overwhelmed fourth seed Israeli GM Boris Gelfand (Elo 2777) in 30 moves of a Sicilian Najdorf Variation, and Karjakin (Elo 2756) bested Dutch GM Loek Van Wely (Elo 2678) in 60 moves of a Catalan Opening.
Top seed GM Levon Aronian of Armenia (Elo 2803) drew with Indian GM Pentala Harikrishna (Elo 2708) in 30 moves of a Giuco Piano Opening while sixth-ranked Dutch GM Anish Giri (Elo 2737) split the point with Cuban GM Leinier Dominguez (Elo 2754) in 31 moves of a Ruy Lopez Berlin skimirsh.
So, the Category C winner of the same tournament three years ago and third runner-up in Category B last year, next faces Nakamura in the second round.
The Tata Steel Chess has two main tourneys—Grandmaster group A with 12 players and Grandmaster group B with 14.

JERUSALEM — Fears of an escalation of violence between Israel and Syria grew Sunday with renewed Israeli threats to destroy Syrian weapons caches and Syria's warnings of retaliation.
After decades of relative calm, some Israeli officials say tensions with Syria are among the highest since the 1973 Yom Kippur war.
During a Cabinet meeting Sunday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel would continue to act to prevent Syria's advanced weapons from falling into the hands of the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah or other organizations deemed to be terrorists.
"The Middle East is in one of its most sensitive periods in decades with the escalating upheaval in Syria," Netanyahu said. "We are monitoring the changes there closely and are prepared for any scenario."
Israel has been accused of launching three airstrikes this year against Syrian weapons stockpiles and convoys, though officially the Israeli government has not acknowledged its responsibility.
But Israeli officials have said repeatedly they will not hesitate to attack if they fear that weapons, including chemical stockpiles, would fall into the wrong hands.
In response, Syrian President Bashar Assad, whose regime did not retaliate for the previous three attacks, has signaled that he will not tolerate a fourth.
His government has reportedly trained advanced surface-to-surface missiles on the Israeli city of Tel Aviv, with instructions to fire in the event of another Israeli attack, according to information from reconnaissance satellite imagery reported Sunday by the Times of London.
Over the weekend, Assad accused Israel of helping the rebels.
Russia, which has maintained strong ties to the Assad regime, also made a strong statement of support last week, vowing to proceed with the sale of air-defense missiles to Syria despite a personal appeal from Netanyahu. Israel fears that such weapons would hinder its ability to launch air strikes over Syria and Lebanon.

Otis L. Sanford: Cops posing as kids just does not seem right
OK, I get it.
This is about creating a safe school environment and protecting students from the scourge of drug dependency.
It's about zero tolerance, or something close to it, for peddling even small quantities of drugs on or near a school campus.
It's about keeping kids from making a stupid mistake that they will regret, and perhaps pay for, the rest of their lives.
And it's about closing a door that could lead to more serious, even violent criminal activity down the road.
I get all of that, and more.
So why do I feel a slight twinge of uneasiness about what went down last week at Millington Central High School?
A fresh-faced Millington police officer posed as a high school student for four months. The "student" attended classes, took exams, did homework, tolerated cafeteria food -- and allegedly bought drugs from other students.
The undercover sting ended Tuesday with the arrest of 13 students on charges of selling marijuana, Ecstasy and prescription drugs. The charges also included peddling fake drugs as if they were the real thing.
That's 13 students nabbed after a four-month sting at a school where 1,500 students attend.
Millington Police Chief Rick Jewell, who is leaving office next month, set up the undercover operation with permission from Shelby County Schools Supt. Bobby Webb. Millington Central's principal and assistant principal were the only ones at the school in on the ruse.
It was the second major undercover drug sting at the Millington school in less than three years. In April 2006, police arrested 26 students and former students after they sold drugs to undercover officers. Those cops, however, did not pose as students.
In fact, Jewell said, the latest sting is likely the first time in Shelby County that a cop has posed as a student to nab suspected high school drug pushers.
But the tactic has been used effectively around the country for years. Police in Los Angeles did it for 30 years before disbanding the program in 2004 amid heavy criticism after an examination showed kids in special education were being targeted.
In suburban Seattle last year, two undercover detectives, ages 29 and 33, passed themselves off as students and bought a variety of illegal drugs. The sting resulted in 12 arrests.
A 22-year-old cop fresh out of the police training academy posed as a skateboarding, baggy jeans-wearing teenager in a Redmond, Wash., high school in 2003, and arrested five students for selling drugs.
And in suburban Boston, an attractive young officer enrolled in high school in 2006, and for three months told fellow students she needed drugs to deal with the pain caused by the death of her mother and an absentee father. Nine gullible male students, who sold her marijuana and Ecstasy, were later arrested, according to The Boston Globe.
In each of these undercover operations, police officials said, they were responding to citizen complaints about rampant drug problems in the schools.
And court challenges to these type of sting operations are rarely, if ever, successful.
Shelby County Dist. Atty. Gen. Bill Gibbons said Jewell, a former narcotics officer, notified him beforehand of the Millington school sting.
"I thought it was appropriate," Gibbons said, noting that schools are designated as drug-free zones.
But E. Winslow "Buddy" Chapman, executive director of Crimestoppers of Memphis and Shelby County, was less enthusiastic. While not criticizing the Millington sting, Chapman believes the practice is not a long-term answer to fighting criminal behavior at school.
"You can put undercover officers in schools until you're blue in the face, but only the students really know what's going on."
Better answers, he insists, are found in programs such as Trust Pays, the Crimestoppers initiative that offers cash rewards to students who anonymously report criminal activity to school officials.
Still, as long as they are legal and as long as school leaders and most parents are willing to accept them, these kinds of undercover stings will likely continue.
I just can't help but believe there must be better ways to fight drug peddling at schools than to dupe teenagers, some of whom foolishly commit illegal acts just to fit in and be accepted.
But believe me, I get it. The deterrent effect, the whole bit. I just don't necessarily like it.

shaved and loving it
- I have been doing a total body shave for 3 years now and love it. Hair is ugly, smelly, itchy and uncomfortable. I am 62 years old and will never let the hair grow again. It is very cool in summer.
- —Guest ed
- NO, NO, NO! Be a man! Men are supposed to be hairy! I do not want to be with a man who is smooth like a girl!!! Hair ANYWHERE on a man IS manly. What is wrong with this young generation anyhow? When did guys start looking more like girls?? What happened to the tough-type guys like Anthony Quinn or John Wayne. Can you IMAGINE them giving any thought to their body hair? It's so hard to find REAL men nowadays...fortunately I have one...but they are far and few between. Men shaving anything other than their faces is just creepy and too girlie. MEN: be proud of your masculinity! Embrace your hairy-ness. You're a man, for god's sake!!! And wait for that woman to come along who will be turned on by your masculinity in all its manifestations.
- —cjfredonia
Get Real
- Get real guys, there is nothing sexy or masculine about sweaty hair. The thought of being intimate with a hairy, sweaty guy is just gross. After all guys, how would you feel about fondling and kissing a hairy girl? In my opinion, if you need hair on your body to make you feel masculine then you have a real problem.
- —Guest maggie
Waxed from the neck down
- My wife started by asking me to shave my privates cause she thought it would look sexy, but then discovered that razor stubble is not a good thing!! I started getting brazillian waxes, and now get everything waxed from the neck down. She loves, I love it, we both love the feel, and when at the pool many ladies have complimented how nice my chest, underams and legs look. Dive in guys, it's all good!
- —Guest Ralph
- 54 years old, married 30 plus years, grown children, and I shave my legs in summer. I live in south where it's high humidity, and hot all summer. Also started shaving my pubic hair a couple of yers ago,and notice I have not had jock itch since.
- —Guest joe
shave from neck down
- Started shaving everything about a year ago! Awesome feeling and cool in summer too. Wife likes it too, I'm cleaner and tan better.
- —Guest mark d
- Shaving down there feels more relaxing, and feels a lot nicer. Most girls I dated said that it feels better and smoother.
- —Guest Kevin.
Better looking
- I like the way it looks and feels when my legs are shaved. I started a couple of years ago shaving them on occassion, and now shave them regularly. I had a lady tell me once that she had a boyfriend that shaved his legs and she said she thinks it looks hot, ever since, I have been shaving and love it.
- —Guest Clay
I shave and love it
- I love shaving my body as I enjoy feeling what my body actually feels like and having smooth skin is very comfortable in the summertime with higher temps. I don't think people really care much when I wear shorts either. I think females notice maybe more as women tend to observe people's bodies more than men. It's a challenge to keep my skin healthy at times avoiding irritation, but I've found the Schick ST3 is made for men who shave their bodies and also the more unisex shaving creams work well, but the masculine shaving products are horribly strong smelling. I really enjoy fresh smelling fragrances or very little. Most people don't realize that shaving of the body goes back to ancient times and men where shaving their bodies in ancient Egypt and elsewhere. I don't think there's anything to be ashamed of by men shaving their bodies, as it's only hair and it grows back again.
- —mokrate
it is OK
- The fact that you shave your legs does not mean you have some sort of problem with your sexuality, some women love it!
- —Guest reynald
Dry Skin
- I regularly do the genital area as I hate hair there. I have a problem with very dry skin, more so on the legs. So I decided to shave them as I need moisturizing daily and cream lathers up on hairs. So now I shave all over. Feels great. Should have it done years ago !!
- —Guest Johnny
- Most liberating thing I ever did. It feels really good. Do the whole body from the neck down.
- —Guest John T
Love it
- Started a couple of years ago, wax was too expensive. Getting them lasered. Will never go with hair again. Wife loves them, and it feels great.
- —Guest Matt
You Bet!!!
- I shave my legs and love it! Wearing shorts are not a problem. Be proud of what you don't have on your legs. I have women ask me about it all the time and they're surprised that I do it myself.
- —Guest Fred
- Smooth is the way to go. I love the way it feels and looks. I am an athlete and have been smooth for a long time. For me it is something very natural.
- —Guest RICHARD

Photos of Mischa at the 8th Annual BritWeek Launch Party have been added.
BritWeek is a non-profit organization, started in Los Angeles in 2007 by Nigel Lythgoe and the then Consul General Bob Peirce, to highlight the creative fusion between the United Kingdom and California, and now Miami. In March 2013, we officially launched BritWeek Visits Miami!
It has been a while since we've had a new shoot from Mischa, but now seeing these photos, its been worth the wait. There are some truly outstanding shots highlighting Mischa's classic beauty. The beautiful photos are by photographer Benjamin Kanarek.
We'd like to thank Benjamin for allowing us to post the pics on the website. And stay clicked on the Benjamin Kanarek blog for a forthcoming video of the shoot by Frédérique Renaut.

A few production stills from Mischa's upcoming role in Mining for Ruby have been added. The film also stars Billy Zane and Jonathan Bennett.
Jack (Daniel Ponickly, "Mona Lisa Smile", "Raw Cut") is a widower struggling with his continued depression as he falls for Ruby (Antoinette Kalaj, "Riddick", "Don Jon"), a passionate environmental engineering grad student who is embroiled in a poisonous waste controversy. Due to the encouragement of his sister (Mischa Barton, "The OC", "The Sixth Sense"), Jack finally leaves his Alaskan cabin for the first time in months and meets Ruby, only to be confronted by her crazed ex-boyfriend, Andrew (Jonathan Bennett, "Mean Girls", "Van Wilder"). Against the warnings of her mentor – Prof. Goodwell (Billy Zane, "Titanic", "Big Kiss") – Ruby exposes the city to an environmental crisis, thrusting her grant funding – along with her doctoral research trip – into jeopardy. As their friendship blooms into something deeper, Ruby and Jack discover that love can be found anywhere, even in Alaska.
Photos of Mischa at the New Year's Eve 2014 Celebration at Beacher's Madhouse MGM have been added. It's been a while since we've had some event photos.
It has been very slow going at the moment – limited news on the Mischa front coupled with the holiday season has created a perfect storm of no updates. The Daily Mail has been posting candids of Mischa so if you're desperate for some Mischa news, check out their website. I don't have anything really exciting to post, just a couple of stills (one is a repeat, just a different size) from Mischa's upcoming role in American Beach House. Hopefully more regular updates will resume in the near future.
I had also intended on switching layouts as this current one was only supposed to be temporary, but the designer went MIA. So I'll figure something out on the layout front soonish.

The proprietors of this pleasant café hail from the Caribbean island of St. Vincent, but the menu incorporates recipes from the entire arc of the Leeward Islands and Jamaica, including oxtails, jerk chicken, curry goat, escovitched fish, lasagna, and even hot dogs, though on any given day you'll find only a handful of these dishes available. On a recent afternoon, the stew pork was particularly noteworthy, tender chunks with a little skin adhering, mired in a deep brown sauce. Pastries have colorful names like rock cake, cassava pone, and "cuomo," similar to Trinidadian crummer-little crunchy fingers of ginger-laced dough. Yum!
