More than 130,000 people attended the San Diego Comic-Con this year, but only a few walked away winners of the Eisner Awards, one of the top creative achievements in the comic books industry equivalent to the Academy Awards. Two of those winners were SCAD alumni Andrew Robinson (B.F.A., illustration, 1993) and Sean Murphy (B.F.A., sequential art, 2003).
Robinson won the Best Reality-Based Work award as the lead artist on "The Fifth Beatle: The Brian Epstein Story," a Dark Horse graphic novel that reached number one on the New York Times bestseller list in 2013. It tells the life story of Brian Epstein, who is credited with discovering the Beatles when most major recording companies in London rejected the group. A screenplay based on the novel is in the works under "Ant-Man" director Peyton Reed.
Sean Murphy earned two awards for his work on "The Wake," a horror series set on an Arctic oil rig that deals heavily with evolution and human origins. Murphy was awarded the Best Limited Series award, alongside writer Scott Snyder, and the Best Penciller/Inker award. The graphic novel is published through Vertigo, an imprint of DC Comics. Murphy was also nominated for Best Cover Artist.
Nick Dragotta (B.F.A., sequential art, 1997) was nominated for the Best Continuing Series award, alongside writer Jonathan Hickman, for his work on "East of West," a monthly dystopic western published through Image Comics.
We extend a well-deserved congratulations to our alumni for their hard work in the comics industry.
Our students produce a tremendous amount of work each year. In animation, students learn 2-D and 3-D techniques to prepare them for whatever role they may choose in the industry once they graduate. We've assembled a few of the best works from the 2013-14 school year to share with you.
"Balloon Cat" by Michael Ceminara (M.F.A., animation, 2013).
"Bear and the Bird" by Matt Barrera (B.F.A., animation, 2013).
"Halcyon-17" by Colin Wheeler (M.F.A., animation), Jeff MacDonald (M.A., animation, 2013) and Jenna Zona (M.F.A., animation).
"How I Wonder" by Nora Graven (B.F.A., animation, 2014).
"I M Possible" by Prasad Narse (M.F.A., animation, 2014).
"The Leaping Place" by Michelle Ionescu (B.F.A., animation, 2014).
"Starlight" by Tamarind King (M.F.A., animation), Marisa Tontaveetong (M.F.A., animation), Shir Wen Sun (B.F.A., illustration) and Yu Ueda (M.F.A., animation).
This week, Savannah College of Art and Design brings home three honors from the American Institute of Architects convention: the AIA Young Architect's Award, the AIA Fellowship for Emerging Leaders and the 2014 AIA National Honor Award for Architecture for the SCAD Museum of Art. The mission of the latter is to 'establish a standard of excellence against which all architects can measure performance, and inform the public of the breadth and value of architecture practice.'
But what do artists think? Here, Kehinde Wiley, Liza Lou, Stephen Antonakos, Alfredo Jaar, Rosemarie Fiore and Trenton Doyle Hancock lend an artist's perspective on the value of SCAD Museum of Art. They join the ranks of exhibiting artists like Jason Middlebrook, Fred Wilson and Nicola López who have responded to SCAD Museum of Art's distinctiveness by creating site-specific installations for the museum.
Congratulations, SCAD Museum of Art, for successfully connecting past and present, emerging artists with established artists, in both form and substance, and for being a magnet the draws the world in to contemplate the transformative power of art and design.
What would it look like if architects were allowed to be artists again; as comfortable in the manual and intuitive realms of drawing, painting and sculpture as with parametric modeling and digital imaging? What if we were to reject the limitations of product-driven, systematic design and production and re-engage the full range of tools innately available and refined over the course of millennia?
Watercolor by Christian Sottile.
The evolution from humanities to technology
Once considered to be among the principal arts, Architecture has passed through a technological revolution over the course of a century, moving from the art based approach of the famed French academy, the École des Beaux-Arts, to the functional dictums and objectivism of the German Bauhaus that would forever alter the course of design and education.
This revolution in education culminated during the digital era. Both the product and process of design entered the last phases of a radical transformation, unmoored from centuries of humanistic origins. Its success proved the potential of something distinctly other, with little emphasis on anthropomorphic, geographic or cultural connection; thereby embracing the full, expansive possibilities of the virtual and the synthetic. This last stage of the revolution has now passed its third decade, and we have grown increasingly detached from humanistic concerns.
An opportunity within reach
Firmly planted as we are in the digital era, the opportunity exists to reconsider the practices that preceded the revolution, to rescue tools that may have been set aside too quickly; tools that will prove essential in charting a way forward for architecture and design. What was jettisoned in the exuberance and upheaval of unprecedented technological innovation is the elusive quality that allows our buildings to speak to us: their humanity - evident and embedded in the pursuit of beauty and the art of making.
Today, this places the architecture profession at an extraordinary moment in history, an era in which we may now synthesize the best of the past with the victories of the digital revolution to embrace a truly hybridized future. It's not the tired old debate between the École des Beaux Arts, a school of art, or the Bauhaus, a school of building, but rather a 'BeauxHaus,' a School of Building Arts.
Activating a fresh approach
At Savannah College of Art and Design, this approach to architecture is reflected in the SCAD Museum of Art. Built in 2010, SCAD MOA embodies what has long been taught in the SCAD School of Building Arts: the dissolution of boundaries between design disciplines. The museum is a place where the highest ideals of urban design, architecture, interior design, architectural history, historic preservation and furniture design all find distinct yet integrated expression.
SCAD Museum of Art: a case study
So how would a renewed emphasis on the tactile art of making - on the real - change the design process and the built environment?
Returning to SCAD MOA as a case study, at its core, the museum is a testimonial to synthesis, created using a design process that included the full spectrum of available tools and methods, from digital modeling and BIM, to physical model making, in situ mock-ups, sketching, painting, and digital collage. It's a building brought about through a construction process that included full scale enlargements of hand-drawn details to create field templates; that included prefabricated modular building envelope components, integrated with local craftsman, practicing the most ancient of building trades, hand-crafting the building using the human hand and eye as their primary tools.
The confluence of disciplines embodied by SCAD MOA makes it one emblem for a new order of design that will allow architects to create the next generation of cities, to reject the soulless, placeless design strategies that characterized city centers created or recreated in the latter half of the 20th century; that will empower architects instead to create new places that come alive with a synthesis of art, humanism and delight, as well as technology and innovation.
This is the way forward.
Christian Sottile (M.Arch., 1997) is the dean of the School of Building Arts at Savannah College of Art and Design where he oversees programs in architecture, urban design, interior design, historic preservation, furniture design and architectural history. He is also design principal of Sottile & Sottile and the design architect for the SCAD Museum of Art.
Updated June 4: Congratulations to director Olivia Riley Day and her crew from Savannah College of Art and Design for winning the Sprite Films Fan Favorite Award for the short film "See Your Dreams." America voted on "See Your Dreams" and five other student films that were finalists in the 2014 Sprite Films competition at sprite.com/films this spring. In return for racking up the most votes by the public, Olivia and the film's co-producer Akmyrat Tuyliyev will receive a trip to the American Film Institute's (AFI) film festival in November and a $5,000 donation to SCAD's film department.
Posted on April 3: Breaking into film requires more than talent. It requires access and visibility. Olivia Riley Day (B.F.A., film and television, senior) from Savannah College of Art and Design found a direct line to both. She's one of six finalists participating in the Sprite Films program for student filmmakers and vying for a chance to win a contract to produce a Sprite branded project.
With her short film "See Your Dreams" up for the world to vote on now through May 15 at sprite.com/films, we delved into what makes director Olivia tick. She and Akmyrat Tuyliyev (B.F.A., film and television, senior), one of the film's producers, just returned from CinemaCon in Las Vegas, Nev., where "See Your Dreams" was screened for industry leaders.Olivia and Akmyrat, with the 2014 Sprite Films finalists, meet producer-director Ivan Reitman whose film "Draft Day" will be released on April 11.

Thread: Name one "pinch me" moment from CinemaCon?
O: The most unforgettable moment of CinemaCon, and probably my life, was at the awards ceremony. The announcer called my name and I stood while big-name stars actually clapped for me. It was kind of insane, and I still can't believe it happened.
T: What inspired the concept for "See Your Dreams"?
O: Everyone in life has had to overcome challenges, and some people face challenges that they believe are too great to overcome. This story is about believing in yourself and always staying true to your dreams, and if you don't give up, your dreams will one day become a reality.
Olivia and Akmyrat at work on the McDonough, Ga. set of "See Your Dreams."
T: How did you develop your passion for film?
O: I always loved the escape that going to the movies gave me, however I did not realize my passion for film until I went to three and a half years of business school and knew that I needed to express my creative side to be happy. I am a natural born leader/director so it was only fitting to control the creative side of the one thing in life that I love more than anything, the movies.
T: What are some trends, techniques or technologies that you're watching?
O: I don't worry about the latest trends or technology past what is going to get my story across the best. If a new technology comes out that strikes my interest and benefits my story I will utilize it, but as of right now I stick to digital. One day I would love to work with the robots Bot & Dolly, they are a very expensive and unique technology that only extremely successful filmmakers get the opportunity to work with.
T: What's your advice to aspiring student filmmakers?
O: I recommend looking out for opportunities like Sprite Films. The program has allowed me to compete at a higher level, thus gain recognition at a higher level, and has helped me get one step closer to seeing my dreams become a reality. If you are in film school, I recommend that you attend all the film festivals you can because that's where you can meet industry professionals and establish connections that could lead to greater opportunities once out of college.
T: How has the Savannah Film Festival molded you as a filmmaker?
O: The Savannah Film Festival has allowed me to establish connections with industry professionals I otherwise would not have been able to meet and given me wonderful insight from famous directors that I will carry with me forever.
T: Anything else that you want Thread to know?
O: Never stop 'seeing your dreams,' and if you don't know what they are, do not stop searching until you find them.
I first met Marv Graff (M.F.A., fibers, 2015) while studying abroad at Savannah College of Art and Design in Lacoste. His unique eye for fashion left quite an impression. (The Metropolitan Museum of Art clearly was equally impressed by Marv, having added a tunic he created to the permanent collection of The Costume Institute.) Marv creates his garments using one of a kind found objects, and the antique markets of Provence were a treasure trove for his creativity. He visited the markets often during his stay in Lacoste and was known among the market owners in Isle Sur la Sorgue as "Mr. Hollywood." Marv created three looks for the 2014 SCAD Fashion Show. It was incredible to see how his explorations in Lacoste carried over to the pieces he showed on the runway at SCAD Museum of Art in Savannah, Georgia.
Marv in his studio at Pepe Hall.
This first look, shown above, was inspired by an antique fireplace screen Marv found in a shop in Bluffton, South Carolina. Marv loved the way the screen fanned out to like peacock feathers and decided to create a petal skirt in its image, working with a SCAD graduate to laser-cut the screen's pattern into the leather.
Marv's second look started with an antique hoop skirt from Peddler Jim's Antiques in Savannah. Making the skirt was a labor intsensive process, complete with handmade knotting and macrame techniques, and the paired top was even more intricate, taking over 16 hours to make.
Marv's final look was inspired by one of the projects he started when he first came to SCAD. On one of his many antique hunts, he came across a taxidermied, polyurethane shell of a deer and began braiding and knotting over it, starting with the legs. From then on, braided deer antlers became his trademark touch.
Thread: You had a very successful career in New York. When and why did you come to SCAD?
Marv Graff: I came to SCAD in September 2013. I kind of just jumped on a train from New York and came down here. I needed a change.
T: What has changed for you? Why did you decide to leave your career in fashion and jewelry design?
M: I felt like I wasn't being so creative. I was just gearing everything towards marketing fulfillment and not creative fulfillment. Being at SCAD has brought me back to where I was when I graduated the first time. When I graduated from the University of Nebraska, I was doing really unusual things regarding to body and fashion. I just started making things and selling things in New York and that's pretty much how my whole career started. I would just take a suitcase full of stuff I had made around for fashion editors and stores to see. But keep in mind, in those days it was pretty easy. Then I came to SCAD because it was my dream to be able to do fashion like this, and it's amazing that it's happening.Marv's previous work, created at SCAD Lacoste.
T: What is it about SCAD that spurred that creative drive?
M: When I was in New York, every weekend I'd go to boutiques and galleries and see everything that was new and popular. When I came to Savannah, there was none of that. So I made my own, and that became my goal: to find and create things. I'm also very inspired by the way that SCAD goes about making their classrooms. The buildings are beautiful, and that makes up for the lack of fancy galleries in Savannah, compared to New York City. These buildings become that. Like Morris Hall, the new Fashion Marketing and Managment building and Hayman's Hall, the new Illustration building.
T: What's next for you? Will you return to New York after graduating?
M: I'm keeping my options open to see what happens. I taught at Kansas State University and I was making these sweaters that were hand-loomed on cardboard, and they had feathers and tentacles. I was selling them to stores in New York and the fashion press picked me up at that time. I got a lot of really good press early on. I would say I had Andy Warhol's 15 minutes of fame when I was there. I won this young designer award, Pré de Cache, but fashion was really hard to produce, and the cost of jewelry was easier for an individual designer without any backing. So that's how I got into the fashion jewelry industry.
Whichever road Marv should choose, he is sure to have a successful second act, the beginnings of which his followers may just trace back to the runway in Savannah.
For fashion students at Savannah College of Art and Design, the annual fashion show is both the culmination of their academic preparation and the precipice from which they will jump into the fashion world. Ninety student-made and designed looks graced the runway for the 2014 SCAD Fashion Show at the SCAD Museum of Art. Not only do the garments reflect intensive preparation in design, CAD work, draping and ideation, but an uncanny 'oneness' with what the industry showed at Fashion Week. The undergraduates and graduates, selected by jury to participate in the show, began working on their looks in September before they even laid eyes on what the runways of New York, London, Paris and Milan would see earlier this year.Student designers watch their looks on the runway in SCAD's Poetter Gallery.
SCAD School of Fashion dean Michael Fink walked us through how in-step the student looks are with, or ahead of, some major trends in fashion.
Michael Fink: We saw a lot of pinky tones, lilac, light or nude colors in the Fall 2014 Ready-to-Wear collections, as well as white and off-white.Ralph Lauren, Wes Gordon and Christopher Kane.
Our students have this color palette covered in a variety of different ways, from evening to day.
Collection by Haley Beyer (B.F.A., fashion).
Collection by Tingting Feng (B.F.A., fashion).
On the runways in New York, London, Paris and Milan you saw these architectural shapes.
Marc Jacobs, Balmain and Ashish.
This collection by Hannah Amundson (B.F.A., fashion) is very architectural. The story behind the garments is that her roommate moved out of their shared apartment and took the only mirror they had. Hannah realized how much she relied on the mirror. So her designs are all about being vain, and on the clothes there are inserts where it will say "vain" or "obsessed," references to how we are so fixated on our own image.
Collection by Hannah Amundson (B.F.A., fashion).
Also, Yuxi Bi (B.F.A., fashion) goes to the stand and just drapes and experiments and creates architectural shapes without a pattern.
Collection by Yuxi Bi (B.F.A., fashion).
We saw this cobalt blue color on the runways and we have a collection that is just cobalt blue and gray. So this is definitely something we've seen out of our students in terms of color trend.
Mark Fast and Proenza Schouler.
Collection by Lin Han (B.F.A., fashion).
At Fashion Week you saw oversized patterns. Whether it's one pattern, or a mixture of patterns, that was very big, especially in London, which speaks to our students' mix and match sensibilities. Here you start to see a mix of materials and patterns challenging you where to look.
Marco de Vincenzo, Prada and Suno.
Like those mixed patterns, Madisen Matney's (B.F.A., fashion) collection is bold, in your face, and it's in honor of her grandmother who has Alzheimer's. She worked with a textiles student and on each piece there is a face peeking out from the layers.
Collection by Madison Matney (B.F.A., fashion).
These are fall collections, so you think about plaids anyway, but the students have been working a year ahead of the trend.
Delpozo and Yigal Azrouel.
We have seen some incredible plaid work out of the students. For example, in this collection by Katherine Absher (B.F.A., fashion) these are hand-foiled. She has taken the fabric and done a foiling process.
Collection by Katherine Absher (B.FA., fashion).
This color palette, various shades of coral and orange, was prevalent on the runways.
Narciso Rodriguez, Issa and Zac Posen.
We have one student collection that captures that beautifully and that's really hard. It's difficult to make those colors sit well on the body.
Collection by Jiaren Du (B.F.A., fashion).
Jiaren Du (B.F.A., fashion) worked for a year on this, but we didn't see the collection for what it was until we saw it on stage. It was so arresting.
Collection by Julia Patton (B.F.A., fashion).
When it comes to Fashion Week, each city is so different. This is Milan. It's a bit more tailored. Here are these bright pops of color everywhere. We saw that in Paris, too. You see big patterns. They're not subtle clothes. Paris, what strikes me here is this Valentino. Very graphic. And Dior, color blocking in a different way. You have bold color with a lighter companion, so you have these pops. That's the color pop we're talking about.
Fausto Puglisi, Valentino and Dior.
In terms of student work, you also see some really big pops of colors. Both of these, for example, are on a graffiti tangent. Each designer had artists develop prints for them. It's color blocking, it's print, it's bright.
Collection by Renata Dabdoub (B.F.A., fashion).
Collection by Leah Smith (B.F.A., fashion).
This whole idea by Burberry was all hand-painted. Everything had the touch of hand on it and we certainly have many collections like that here at SCAD because we're an art school.
Burberry Prorsum, Duckie Brown and Yohji Yamamoto.
These are Wenxiao Wang's (M.A., fashion, 2013) own illustrations that she had reprinted.
Collection by Wenxiao Wang (M.A., fashion).
Collection by Zenobia Duncan (M.A., fashion).
That's just an overview of the student looks we saw on the runway at the SCAD Fashion Show and how they compare to what we saw at Fashion Week.
When you're a student at Savannah College of Art and Design, your medium isn't restricted to the traditional and the classroom extends to the ocean.

One last nod to Mother Earth before Earth Month slips away. Behold the thought-provoking and stunning pieces that comprise the Hong Kong exhibition, "Waste to Art." The show is a result of HSBC's partnership with 29 Savannah College of Art and Design freshmen to raise environmental awareness within the bank's community. In three months time, the students made sculptures composed entirely of recycled waste provided by the bank, including plastic, paper, and electronics. The 23 sculptures, which bear the fruit of the students' diverse academic pursuits at SCAD Hong Kong as much as they do an astute social conciousness, will be displayed at HSBC locations until June 22. Additionally, HSBC is considering adding several of the pieces to its permanent art collection, which includes works by Chinese and western artists, like George Chinnery.
"E-body" by Abinanth Ashok (B.F.A., visual effects) and Mariam Zamani (B.F.A., graphic design). Made of cardboard, wire mesh, cable wires, clock, motherboards and printer gears.
E-body represents a human race that contains electronic parts which many of us carelessly discard. It foretells the future of mankind if timely precautions are not made.

"Lai See/Paper Tapestry" by Rhéa Duckworth (B.F.A., advertising) and Rhea Nayar (B.F.A., architecture). Made of newspaper and shredded paper.
Lai See/Paper Tapestry was inspired by one issue: We sought to portray the falling motion of waste entering the landfill, where 25% of Hong Kong's paper ends up.

"Tech Smog" by Anastasia Simone (B.F.A., advertising) and Jonathan 'Jay' Lee( B.F.A., advertising). Made of keyboards and wires.
Tech Smog represents a sinister cloud because this deadly form of pollution is not often brought to light. It's about treating e-waste like dangerous pollution. We believe recycling is not enough. We don't really want to make something look like waste. We want to make something that looks like art, not just screaming 'recycling.' It's just there quietly and sends you the message that you don't really have to think about it.

"I wasted time, and now doth time waste me" by Inga Nelli (B.F.A., painting). Made of steel, acrylics and recycled plastic pellets.
The monumental hourglass, with waste trickling down, reinforces the idea that time runs out as waste becomes a permanent part of our nature. Viewers are invited to invert the hourglass.

"Take-A-Waste" by Daniel Kostianos (B.F.A., graphic design). Made of cardboard, cables and bamboo.
Based on the premise of consuming less and reducing more, this piece is made entirely out of discarded computer cables, cardboard and a pair of bamboo sticks rescued from the rubbish bin.

"Plastic is the New Porcelain" by Dawn Bey (B.F.A., fashion). Made of plastic bottles and wax.
By making plastic bottles resemble modern-day Ming vases, this piece elevates the status of such material into imperial ornaments, leading viewers to reflect on the widespread usage of plastic in our society today. I melted wax and dipped the plastic bottles and coated them a few times until they look really smooth, like porcelain. I made three types of bottles: plain, a layer of rice paper under a layer of wax, and wax printed on wax. All made of classic Chinese imagery like bamboo and plum blossoms.

"I was able to reformat the templates to suit our needs for an extra enclosure card. The request was received quickly and within minutes I had the blank card to personalize. Quick, efficient and beautiful. Thanks Divas!"
"Exactly as I was hoping everything would look. I ordered several pieces with this design and every thing was amazing. The customer service staff was also lovely to work with and quickly answered every questions that arose."
"The choices of design and envelopes were great. We both had lots to choose from and freedom to write what we wanted. The "how to write" guides were very helpful!"
"This is a great card! I really loved that you can personalize it however you want with text colors and sizes. The paper is thick and durable, and the added texture really makes it classy and rustic. It matched my invites perfectly! One tip: don't worry if you can't get your text exactly how you want it in the design stage; your personal design assistant can easily make the text larger, smaller, centered, etc. They made it look exactly how I wanted!"
"We really needed to give our guests more information about our reception, so we chose this card and changed the wording up a bit. It is now a great little info card! WPD was wonderful at helping me with the wording. They pointed out any typos and suggested some word changes so that the card was more uniform with our invitations. I couldn't be happier!"

In addition, an appreciation for the glories of science is a joyful trait for a good society. It helps us remain in touch with that childlike ca-pacity for wonder, about such ordinary things as falling apples and elevators, that characterizes Einstein and other great theoretical physicists.
That is why studying Einstein can be worthwhile. Science is inspiring and noble, and its pursuit an enchanting mission, as the sagas of its heroes remind us. Near the end of his life, Einstein was asked by the New York State Education Department what schools should emphasize. "In teaching history," he replied, "there should be extensive discussion of personalities who benefited mankind through independence of character and judgment." Einstein fits into that category.
At a time when there is a new emphasis, in the face of global competition, on science and math education, we should also note the other part of Einstein's answer. "Critical comments by students should be taken in a friendly spirit," he said. "Accumulation of material should not stifle the student's independence." A society's competitive advantage will come not from how well its schools teach the multiplication and periodic tables, but from how well they stimulate imagination and creativity.
Therein lies the key, I think, to Einstein's brilliance and the lessons of his life. As a young student he never did well with rote learning. And later, as a theorist, his success came not from the brute strength of his mental processing power but from his imagination and creativity. He could construct complex equations, but more important, he knew that math is the language nature uses to describe her wonders. So he could visualize how equations were reflected in realities -- how the electromagnetic field equations discovered by James Clerk Maxwell, for example, would manifest themselves to a boy riding alongside a light beam. As he once declared, "Imagination is more important than knowledge."
That approach required him to embrace nonconformity. "Long live impudence!" he exulted to the lover who would later become his wife. "It is my guardian angel in this world." Many years later, when others thought that his reluctance to embrace quantum mechanics showed that he had lost his edge, he lamented, "To punish me for my contempt for authority, fate made me an authority myself."
His success came from questioning conventional wisdom, challenging authority, and marveling at mysteries that struck others as mundane. This led him to embrace a morality and politics based on respect for free minds, free spirits, and free individuals. Tyranny repulsed him, and he saw tolerance not simply as a sweet virtue but as a necessary condition for a creative society. "It is important to foster individuality," he said, "for only the individual can produce the new ideas."
This outlook made Einstein a rebel with a reverence for the harmony of nature, one who had just the right blend of imagination and wisdom to transform our understanding of the universe. These traits are just as vital for this new century of globalization, in which our success will depend on our creativity, as they were for the beginning of the twentieth century, when Einstein helped usher in the modern age.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Meighan Simmons scored 18 points and No. 4 Tennessee beat Georgia 82-58 on Saturday in the Southeastern Conference tournament semifinals.
The Lady Volunteers (30-2) will play in their 20th conference championship against No. 16 Kentucky or Vanderbilt.
Tennessee scored the first nine points of the game and never trailed. A 3-pointer by Taber Spani gave the Lady Vols a 16-2 lead with 13:51 left in the first half.
The Lady Bulldogs missed their first 14 shots from the field. Khaalidah Miller broke the drought when she hit a 3-pointer from the top of the key just before the shot clock expired to cut the margin to 16-5 with 9:55 to go before halftime.
Georgia scored the next seven points to pull to 16-9 but wouldn't get any closer with Tennessee shooting 48.4 percent for the game.
Jasmine Hassell led the fourth-seeded Lady Bulldogs (21-10) with 20 points.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Ambition and Salvation
by Paul on 08/19/05 at 09:50 AM ET
Comments (0)
There was a time through the spring and summer when Gary B. Bettman, the commissioner of the National Hockey League, looked like a man without a neutron of leverage to his cable television negotiations. ESPN had just said that the N.H.L.'s rights were not worth much - certainly not $60 million, the sum that ESPN on Wednesday rejected paying for the coming season by not exercising its option to do so. As he looked at what seemed like a bleak, post-lockout terrain, where no network should knock itself by bidding a cent for N.H.L. rights, Bettman said he set a $60 million floor for bidders. How rosy! How outlandish! "I didn't budge," he said yesterday.

PRAIRIE DOG TOWN FORK OF THE RED RIVER. The Prairie Dog Town Fork, the main tributary of the Red River, rises at the junction of Palo Duro and Tierra Blanca creeks in central Randall County, northeast of Canyon (at 35°00' N, 101°56' W). It flows 160 miles southeastward through the Palo Duro Canyon, across southwestern Armstrong and northeastern Briscoe counties, and out of the canyon and eastward across the broken country of central Hall and Childress counties, to its confluence with the North Fork of the Red River, twelve miles northeast of Vernon (at 34°24' N, 99°32' W); there the Red River proper begins. When the Prairie Dog Town Fork crosses the 100th meridian at the eastern line of Childress County, its south bank becomes the state boundary between Texas and Oklahoma and the northern county line of Hardeman and Wilbarger counties.
Spaniards were the first white men to see the Prairie Dog Town Fork; in the 1780s Pedro Vial and Santiago Fernández followed it during their trading expeditions between Santa Fe and the Taovaya villages on the Red River. Randolph B. Marcy and George B. McClellan first determined it to be the main fork of the Red River after exploring it in the summer of 1852; this designation later influenced the United States Supreme Court decision to award the disputed Greer County to Oklahoma in 1896. The road in Palo Duro Canyon State Scenic Park crosses the stream five times, and campgrounds are available on the creek. Lake Tanglewood was formed in the early 1960s by a dam on the Prairie Dog Town Fork in northeastern Randall County.

Apple says Watch OS 1.0.1 attempts to record heart rate e...
Apple Watch running the original 1.0 software rather reliably recorded a user's heart rate every ten minutes. With Watch OS 1.0.1, users noticed that heart rate records were no longer being kept as frequently. This was initially thought to be a bug but Apple has now clarified that this is intended behaviour on its website.
The updated website says that 'Apple Watch attempts to measure your heart rate every ten minutes, but won't record it when you are in motion or your arm is moving'. The original version of this feature did not care about arm movement.
This has caused some complaints from users who thought that the original Watch software recorded heart rate without any issues whatsoever and now see the device as losing functionality with the software update.
It is unclear why Apple has made this change in behaviour, arguably a regression in functionality. There has been some speculation that Apple changed this behaviour to conserve battery life but again this has only angered users who did not see any adverse battery drain from the regular every-ten-minute monitoring.
To offer some fix for the problem, users can still start a workout in the Workout app to force continuous heart rate monitoring by the system, which will record heart rate measurements about every ten seconds. The downside to this is that users have to remember to activate this mode explicitly unlike the passive monitoring.

Review: Incase's Reform Sling Pack is a perfect fit for t...
For the right task, Apple's new 12-inch MacBook is both an ultra thin notebook and a powerful machine considering its size. Following my initial evaluation in April, I've been using it for work almost exclusively (aside from my podcasting setup for Happy Hour, which doesn't benefit from being portable).
Similarly, the newly released Incase Reform Collection Sling Pack hides a surprising amount of use in a small and ergonomic profile. Typical of Incase's bags and carrying cases, Sling Pack sports a trendy design fit for your Apple gear and accessories with cleverly placed stash pockets found throughout. Unlike previous products from Incase (and anyone else for that matter), Sling Pack is made of a new eco-friendly material…
Key Details:
- Small but spacious design for a tablet or up to 13″ laptop
- Made with eco-friendly Ecoya Frabic
- Hides two stash pockets, one on strap and one under back padding
- Can carry over shoulder or across chest
- Two main compartments are easily accessible
As its name reveals, Sling Pack varies from the typical two-strap backpack with its sling-style design meant to easily pack and throw over your shoulder. The look appears somewhere between a messenger bag and a camera carrying case with zipped compartments for storing your supplies.
Sling Pack's back is heavily padded to add a light dose of protection to your goods and offer added comfort when toting a heavy load. The super light materials and plastic buckles add up to a bag with minimal weight aside from what you throw inside.
Sling Pack features two main compartments — one with a section with a tight slot for a small notebook or tablet — large enough to stow a notebook, headphones, and a small tablet or book. In my case, I've packed the 12-inch MacBook, a pair of on-ear headphones, and a large backup battery for the road.
As soon as the Sling Pack arrived for review last month, however, my girlfriend claimed it as her own, moving from a larger shoulder bag with more space than she needed to the more compact Sling Pack. In her case, the Sling Pack hauled her own 12-inch MacBook, its charger and several adapters, a class book, and a handful of pens and pencils with room to spare. Sling Pack is plenty big enough for up to 13-inch MacBooks without having the footprint of a full-sized backpack.
Sling Pack's cleverly located stash pockets are typical of Incase bags and make great use of the straps and padded areas as storage opportunities. Aside from the utility gains of these small storage slots, they're just delightful to find as they're neither obvious nor obnoxious. In total, Sling Pack has two stash slots — one in the back padding and one in the shoulder strap.
Just looking at Sling Pack when it's empty, you might not suspect just how much you can pack inside. It's not ideal for throwing in 4 or 5 books and larger laptops, but it's a terrific bag for toting a smaller notebook in a compact bag.
Especially important from an environmental perspective, Sling Pack uses Incase's new Ecoya Fabric material we mentioned earlier this week during their sponsorship. What makes Ecoya Fabric eco-friendly is that it takes 63% less energy than most dying processes while using almost 90% less water and omitting 62% less CO2 and COD. Aside from those benefits, the fabric also just looks nice and feels durable. You'd never suspect it has any special quality about it; their's nothing inferior-feeling about it.
Overall, Incase's new Sling Pack bag is an excellent solution for hauling around a light load and the perfect fit for a notebook the size of Apple's new 12-inch MacBook. Pack your laptop, throw in your accessories, travel light, and stow the bag away comfortably when you're ready.
9to5Mac is also having an exclusive pre-sale on the Sling Pack and the rest of the lineup in Incase's Reform Collection with Ecoya Fabric so you can use the promo code "9to5Mac" to get a free Portable Power 2500 battery pack and early shipping with your purchase.

Help answer this question below.
Wow, I woundering why I am hearing so much bad things about them.
When they were first organized they killed a lot in the name of God. Them and the Knights of Templar.
Good summary Cog. Constitution, if you really are interested in the fraternity, go get a copy of Freemasons for Dummies (part of the 'Dummies' books on most any subject). I read the same book before joining and between that and knowing that many of the Founding Fathers were Masons decided me. The book debunks a lot of the garbage out there and has some useful information on what we're really all about. We don't worship Satan, we don't do any of the other absurd things we've been accused of. The rituals are intended to teach morality through allegory, the Lodge is about brotherhood and charity more than anything else.
cog, i am a master mason and the chaplin for my lodge here. you have spoken beautifuly. i thank you so much for that. do you know a mason? is your husband boyfriend an mason? are you in the star? well, we get alot of bad views inflicted onto us by media and movies. so i wanted to thank you on behlf of my brotheren. i would have answered this question but there is no need with your answer. i am just in ahhh of your articulate response.
there basicly satanic..... also other ones ..Skull and bones, and illuminati (and where they meet the bohemian grove)(some people believe President bush is skull and bones and that all the previus presidents were ether Skull and bones, mason, or illuminati...
Missred12, Freemasons are NOT satanic. All of the members I've met have been Christians, except for one who was Jewish. Freemasonry as a whole requires belief in a Supreme Being as hawaii.jake says, but the religion is left up to the member. The Skull and Bones and the fictional Illumnati have nothing to do with Freemasonry.
EDIT: The website is www.masonicinfo.com Sorry.
Kind of. The Moose lodge, and the Elks, and the Lions, all started up many years later, imitating the Masonic Lodges.
Eating expensive things? Rich and powerful? I've been a member for 10 years. I've served two terms in the highest office in a Lodge. I'm lucky if I can afford Ramen noodles for dinner.
Being rich and powerful? Hardly. That is another part of Masonry, within the Lodge all Brothers are equal. We make no distinctions of class, religion, politics, etc.
Apologies for the assumption. It's just what I learned on a special on the Free Masons on the History channel.
I love those specials on the History Channel. They never fail to make me laugh.
Wow, I heard that they are an extremely old religion.
The info about the templars aside, almost every Masonic Lodge I know meets at 7:30 pm. Some meet at 7:00 pm. There are a few "Daylight" Lodges I know of that meet at 3:00 or 4:00 pm.
The Knights Templar you refer too actually aren't connected with Freemasons. They were persecuted in 1307 by Philip IV of France because he owed them money.

Methods of Oil Smuggling
More News from Gil C. Cabacungan
popular .
1) Outright smuggling
Outright smuggling is done by bringing petroleum into the country without duly reporting the shipments to customs officials.
The following are the major forms of outright smuggling:
·High Seas Smuggling. High seas smuggling occurs mostly in the high seas where officials have no jurisdiction. Fuel products usually come from nearby countries, where petroleum prices are much lower due to government subsidies. Smaller ships withdraw fuel from the mother ship for delivery to customers. These will then be resold in the country.
·Direct smuggling. Some oil players actually bring in vessels, dock in small ports, and discharge the fuel directly to waiting tank trucks who then deliver to service stations. Not only is this illegal but is likewise a dangerous form of discharging fuel products.
·Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZs). EEZs grant exporters tax-free importation of petroleum products as long as the products are used within the zone or are reexported. Some firms, however, use this privilege to import tax-free petroleum products and then smuggle these out of EEZs.
2) Technical smuggling
Technical smuggling is done through a number of ways, but all generally entails the use of tampered or counterfeit cargo documents.
·Lower declared value. Some importers declare value for their shipments thus paying lower VAT and excise taxes (for gasoline P4.35/li and Jet A-1 3.67/li). This is done through fake or tampered invoices.
·Lower declared volume. Some importers declare lower shipment volumes for petroleum products which result in nonpayment of taxes for undeclared volumes.
·Misdeclaration of imports. Some importers misdeclare their shipments to avoid paying taxes. For instance, gasoline is misdeclared as diesel to avoid paying the specific tax of P4.35 per liter.

The Never-Ending Chronic Cough
Syda Productions/Shutterstock.com
As far back as I can remember, my son, Michael, had a recurring cough that just would not quit.
It usually started after he'd caught a cold from his big sister. But often we couldn't pin it to anything. Neither could his doctors -- and we saw many in our years-long quest to find relief from The Cough. At night, he'd cough so hard that he'd wake up and often vomit in bed. We tried everything: over-the-counter and prescription antihistamines and cough syrups, antibiotics, inhalers and nebulizers. When allergy tests determined that Michael was allergic to dust mites, we bought special casings for his pillow and mattress, replaced curtains with a shade, and tried to convince him to put away his menagerie of stuffed animals (which he adamantly refused to do). I even subjected the poor kid to an endoscopy, during which doctors slid a thin flexible tube down his throat while he was under anesthesia. In the end, we never did get a definitive diagnosis, and The Cough mysteriously faded away when he was about 13.
Not all coughs are as tough to figure out as my son's was. Chronic cough is typically defined as one that lasts more than four weeks. "It's the single most common reason that parents call my office for a new-patient evaluation," says Ray S. Davis, M.D., professor of clinical pediatrics in the division of allergy immunology and pulmonary medicine at Washington University School of Medicine, in St. Louis. But decoding a cough is not a matter of, say, equating a dry, hacking cough to one cause and a wet, loose cough to another, he explains. It's also important to know that a cough is a symptom, not a disease.
I wanted to write this story because I know how eager parents are to get to the bottom of their child's chronic cough. And with the terrifying enterovirus D68 on the scene -- of which cough is a main symptom -- it's even more crucial to understand what's going on. These are the questions you should ask yourself, and what I wish I'd learned sooner.
Probably. The most common cause of cough in kids is an upper-respiratory infection from one of more than 100 cold viruses. Your child may have a mild fever from the virus and develop a cough, explains William Berger, M.D., clinical professor in the department of pediatrics at the University of California, Irvine, and a Parents advisor. "Children typically get about eight to ten colds a year and most last five to seven days,'' Dr. Berger adds, though the cough may last much longer than the runny nose. "Since kids are constantly swapping germs, it may seem like the same cold and cough is going on forever, when it's more likely that your child has a new cold and cough, back to back." As congestion builds and mucus drips down the throat, some kids can't cough it out. So they swallow it. All that mucus can also upset a child's stomach or trigger the gag reflex, which can cause her to throw up.
What to do If your child has trouble breathing or her symptoms get worse, contact your doctor, who may have her tested for enterovirus D68. In most cases though, a cold needs to run its course. Besides general TLC, give your child lots of fluids: water, warm decaf tea, even an ice pop all help. Stay away from carbonated drinks or citrus juice, which can irritate the throat. And avoid multi-symptom cold and cough preparations; if you combine them with other medicines, it may increase the risk of overdose from overlapping ingredients. (Keep in mind that the American Academy of Pediatrics does not recommend cough and cold medications for kids under 6.) Try a cool-mist humidifier or vaporizer at night; use saline nasal spray or a suction syringe to clear nasal congestion. For children over 1 year only, offer 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of honey in tea or on toast as needed to help loosen the cough. "Parents often worry when a cough is persistent, especially when it sounds harsh," explains Carrie Quinn, M.D., a pediatrician at the Kravis Children's Hospital at Mount Sinai, in New York City. "But there are questions you should ask to determine how serious the cough is. Is he playing normally or is he lethargic? How is he eating?" See a doctor if the cough is lingering after two to three weeks, or if your child experiences breathing difficulties, vomiting, or a spike in fever.
If a cough lasts more than ten days and shows no signs of getting better, and your child's nasal discharge is thick and yellowish-green, he may have sinusitis, an inflammation of the mucus lining of the nose and sinuses. It creates pockets of air along the brow, the cheekbones, and the nose; as congestion builds, sinuses become a breeding ground for bacteria. In addition to a chronic cough, kids may have postnasal drip, bad breath, low energy, and puffiness and dark circles around the eyes. Older children may complain of headache. Even a low-grade sinus infection can cause a never-ending cough.
What to do Your primary-care doctor may prescribe an antibiotic to zap the infection and nasal sprays to ease symptoms. If, after a few days, your child seems no better, she may need another round of antibiotics or a different medication. Acetaminophen, ibuprofen, and/or warm compresses can help with headaches or facial pain. Your doctor may refer you to an otolaryngologist, who can examine your child's ears, nose, and throat with special instruments to see what's going on. He'll also be able to notice any structural issues, such as a deviated septum, that can make a child more susceptible to sinus problems.

Priority Adjustment: Go After Al Qaeda
Published: July 16, 2004
To the Editor:
Bob Herbert is not alone in arguing that the war in Iraq was a catastrophic and counterproductive detour from the campaign against the terrorist threat. But his solution to use ''overwhelming force'' along Afghanistan's border with Pakistan where Osama bin Laden is believed to be hiding may be just as futile.
For couldn't it be, after all, that the United States' continual presumption to use overwhelming force -- as well as the inevitable human casualties when it does -- inspires the disaffected in Afghanistan and Pakistan as much as in Iraq to join the terrorist ranks?

Murkowski camp cries foul in ballot count
JUNEAU, Alaska U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski's campaign on Thursday accused observers for rival Joe Miller of challenging properly cast write-in ballots in an effort to drag out the heated Alaska Senate race and "delay the inevitable."
Shortly after the second day of write-in ballot counting began, a Miller observer challenged a vote for Murkowski that appeared to have her name spelled and printed correctly, though the "L" in "Lisa" was in cursive handwriting.
At another table later, at least 10 ballots in which Murkowski's name appeared readable were challenged, including one in which the vote read: "Lisa Murkowski Republican."
Miller's campaign said observers are simply challenging votes that don't meet the strict letter of the law - including those with minor misspellings of Murkowski's name or those with legibility or penmanship issues.
"The Murkowski campaign can say whatever it wants," Chip Gerhardt, a Miller observer and attorney sent to the state by the National Republican Senatorial Committee. "What's going on here, our focus is on following the law."
Murkowski spokesman John Tracy sees it this way: "What this says to us is, they're simply trying to delay the inevitable."
The law calls for write-in ballots to have the oval filled in and either the candidate's last name or the name as it appears on their declaration of candidacy scrawled in - in this case, either "Murkowski" or "Lisa Murkowski."
But the state is using discretion to discern voter intent, pointing to prior case law as their basis in doing so. State Division of Elections director Gail Fenumiai, the final arbiter of what's in or out during the counting process, said if the name is phonetic to Murkowski or there are minor misspellings, she's counting it for Murkowski. It's an effort aimed at not disenfranchising any voters.
The tabulation of 45,132 initial write-ins, representing about 45 percent of precincts, showed Murkowski with 89.8 percent of the votes undisputedly, meaning those ballots were properly cast for her with the oval filled in and her name written correctly. Another 9.5 percent was challenged, though Fenumiai counted the majority of those to Murkowski's tally.
That percentage is key: If a judge agrees that they don't meet the legal standard of votes for Murkowski and tosses them aside, Miller's camp says it would make the race very tight, possibly forcing a recount or, at the very least, putting Miller in tight contention.
Murkowski attorney Ben Ginbserg, who worked for the Bush-Cheney campaign during the 2000 Florida presidential recount, considers that unlikely.
He said case law makes clear this is a state that heavily favors voter intent. For Miller to be successful in court, he said, he'd have to argue that thousands of Alaskans who took the time to write-in Murkowski's name but misspelled it or were a bit sloppy in their script should not have their vote counted.
Miller has filed a federal lawsuit, seeking to bar the state from counting ballots that do not meet the standards set out in law. Briefings in the matter are set for next week.

Do political leaders in India threaten voters? Statements by politicians such as vote for us or your water supply would be cut off or if you do not vote for us, we will ensure fresh graduates will remain unemployed are statements voters in rural India are getting used to.
Political leaders of top parties open up on this issue and defend the statements made by their seniors. A few admit having erred while a few other manipulate the statements made and say that the true meaning of the statements have been misinterpreted by the media.
Should vote-threats to the public continue from the politicians' end ? Or should the politicians be held for the statements they make ? Here's a look at how much can the politicians stoop to woo voters.
