If you have questions about the portfolio submission or admission to the Division of Art, please contact:
Rosa Reifsnyder
Interested in receiving feedback about your portfolio before you officially submit it for admission to the Division of Art? Submit a Pre-review portfolio online. (available September 15- December 15)
Portfolio Review Sessions are an excellent way to prepare to submit your work for admission and scholarships for the upcoming application deadlines in 2015-2016.
Learn more about Portfolio Review Sessions and register to attend.
All students applying for study in the Division of Art for the B.A., B.F.A., or B.F.A./M.I.T. degree programs must submit a digital portfolio of 15 works in addition to applying for admission through SMU's Office of Undergraduate Admissions. Each degree program is a 4-year course of study beginning with Foundations (ASAG 1300 Observation and ASAG 1304 Spaces) which forms the initial core of your studies.
The portfolio is the most direct statement of your desires and capabilities as an artist. Consider it carefully. To the greatest extent possible, you should have work in a variety of media, work from observation as well as imagination, work based in assignments as well as work done on your own. In sum, the portfolio should tell us something about your skills but more importantly, your thought.
Please be sure to indicate the significant amount of time engaged in artistic endeavors on the Extracurricular Resume and Application which you submit to the Office of Admission as part of the application checklist.
Portfolio submission is through SMU SlideRoom, a digital portfolio system that was developed by one of our alums. SMU SlideRoom allows you to upload digital images of your work in exactly the way they will be seen by reviewing faculty. You should also note that in the Forms section, you are asked to provide additional information about the portfolio. This includes: a resume of your artistic studies and accomplishments; a statement about your artistic interests and the direction of your work; and answers to the following questions. Please be concise.
1. With what media are you comfortable? What media would you like to explore? This includes both traditional media as well as experimental and digital media. How do you see that exploration as important to your study?
2. Tell us something about one of your works in this portfolio. Why is it important to you? What were the obstacles you encountered working on this project? What inspired it? Is it an individual investigation, a response to an assignment, a work within a larger series?
3. Why are you interested in the study of art, in general and at SMU? Do you have any specific interests you'd like to explore? Is there something specific about our program at Meadows that will aid that exploration?
General Portfolio Guide
Every portfolio is different, because it reflects each artist's interests and unique artistic strengths. Take your time in selecting it. It can include highly finished works but also sketches and notebook pages. SlideRoom accepts all media, including video and sound files. Your first goal is to present your thought process as clearly as you can; your second is to give an idea of the range of your experiences in art.
The portfolio should consist of about 15 images. You should include work from direct observation, work that shows your experience with different media, and work that demonstrates a sustained investigation over a number of images.
Good photography is important. A poor quality image, dark or out of focus, will hurt your presentation. Here is a link to a video about photographing artwork—there are other videos online as well.
Notice that we have a selection in SlideRoom to upload a trial portfolio to get comments from our faculty before you load the final one.
If you have questions about the portfolio submission, please contact:
Rosa Reifsnyder, Administrative Coordinator, Division of Art and Department of Art History: firstname.lastname@example.com
Incoming Undergraduate Student Portfolio Deadlines:
Transfer Students: Note that all transfer students are required to complete college algebra or a college-level math course before transferring to SMU. We strongly encourage you to plan ahead and check with your transfer admission counselor to ensure that you have satisfied this admission requirement.

So I forgot, shoot me. Duh, you're probably all wondering about my sister. My little sister passed away due to a brain tumor a little over a year ago. You'll likely see pictures of her son, Carter, on here from time to time. He comes to stay with me every now and again. I say she fulfilled her life's duties because I'm convinced her purpose for being here was to straighten out her husband. He had a rough life before her and she turned him around, gave them a son, and in general taught him to be the man he is today.
Let me back up. When I first met her (now) husband, I hated him. He was a thief, a robber, and a liar. I hated him. He belonged in prison. When she got pregnant, I hated him more. I just knew he was going to leave her to raise that baby all by herself. Then about 1 year later, she was diagnosed with the brain tumor. I knew he'd leave then. There's no way he really loved her. Well, my sister was determined and she didn't care what I thought at all. Boy am I thankful now. They got married about 2 months after she was diagnosed and he stuck by her side for her struggle, which continued for most of a year after they married. I was just sure though, that he was going to leave after she died and we'd never see Carter again.
Now I see why my sister didn't listen to me. She was sent to save him from his previous "life". Her husband is a wonderful dad. Although he lives a good 2 hours away, he comes to visit regularly and Carter stays with us every month or so for a couple days.
The two of them (and my angel sister) are blessings, though I never knew it. God definitely had a plan.

The Rangers boss believes the club, including former owner Sir David Murray, and fans are owed answers over the so-called 'Big Tax Case'.
An upper tier tax tribunal judge last week dismissed the appeal by Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC), which argued that payments made from the benefit trusts to players and other employees should be taxable.
The Murray Group, who formerly owned Rangers, argued they were loans. The ruling effectively substantially reduces HMRC's £46.2m tax demands, about three-quarters of which referred to the liquidated oldco Rangers club.
Speaking to Sky Sports News at Edinburgh airport as the squad flew out to begin a pre-season tour of north America, McCoist said: "I'm absolutely delighted for Sir David Murray. Sir David actually said also that there are no winners in the case and that doesn't seem to be too far away from the truth.
"I think it's a little bit, if anything, satisfaction for the club, for our ex-players, for the supporters, for everybody really, but at the same time, I won't lie, this will slightly leave a bitter taste in the mouth after what has happened to us in the last two or three years.
"Everybody's got an explanation to do - probably HMRC, the people that pursued it - there's a lot of questions that now have to be answered.
"You don't want to look back, we want to look forward, but at the same time the relevant authorities will have to explain one or two decisions.
"Sir David Murray deserves one or two answers as well. I'll be watching with interest to see the outcome perhaps of one or two statements and one or two questions that hopefully will be answered."
The upper tier tribunal has ordered that some of the payments be re-examined, including termination and "guaranteed bonus" payments.
The case played a part in the club entering administration in February 2012 before oldco Rangers was liquidated in June the same year. The club was relaunched as a new company and the judgement has no impact on the current Rangers regime.

Postgame Quotes
NC State Head Coach Tom O'Brien
North Carolina Head Coach Everett Withers
NC State Postgame Notes
Pack Seniors Perfect vs. Heels: Even the Wolfpack's fifth-year seniors have no idea what it feels like to lose to the rival Tar Heels. State has now won five in a row over UNC and is 5-0 with Tom O'Brien as head coach.
The winning streak by the Wolfpack ties as the longest in the 101-year history of the series. Dick Sheridan led his State teams to victories over the Tar Heels five straight times from 1988-1992.
The Pack shutout North Carolina for the first time since 1960 (3-0), and for the sixth time in 101 matchups.
With his interception today, Amerson broke the school record for most INTs in a season that was set by Art Rooney in both 1937 and 1938.

honest review-dont think there is anything better than can exist
I ordered 2 pairs of goggles and I havnt tried the other one. I spent less than 5 dollars on it as it was on sale. I have used this for almost a month but can tell that these goggles are not going to go anywhere unlike 2 of my previous speedo goggles(more than 20 dollars) in which the first one broke from the center peices connecting the two eye pieces just in couple of months and the second on was done when the seal just came off from the left eye piece. The design of this goggle would prevent it from either scenario I had with speedo goggles. Not just that guys, I am not really into giving feedbacks in general but these items have made me so happy that I dont mind spending 5 mins writing up reviews to help other people. These goggles are so comfortable and effective that you dont even need to tighten the straps tight to keep the water out. I am just using the loosest setting available and havnt seen a single drop in the eye piece entering. Even before my 2 earlier speedo goggles broke up, they were not keep the water out as effectively as this one. So, guys even if they are not on sale anymore, ( i dont know what the actual price is) this thing is just the thing u wud like to buy again and again...please dont think that I am somebody who wants to see speedo brand failing but if they cant make products to even just satisfy people..they need to do something abt it especially thier goggles, thier silcone swim cap has turned out great though as I used it for more than 2 years now..but when it comes to goggles...here is one perfect peice for any kind of swimmer...even if you have alot of money....just buy this...bcoz it just cannot simply get better....trust me...god bless all

A good buy for me...
I swim over 4 miles/week. These are sharp goggles with a decent fit, good value for the money...

Awesome goggles!
Nice goggles, perfect for the kids and their summer time fun. Would purchase them again a heartbeat. Thanks, Swimoutlet. Great service, nice shipping time. And very reasonable pricing!

Best goggles I own
Glad I took a chance on Sporti and got these when they were on clearance. They fit really well and I love them the most of all my goggles because the eye window is quite large, compared to others I've owned. Also, I have a smaller size head (I could wear youth goggles if I chose to) and the fact that the nose piece is molded rubber is perfect for my face. Often, if it's hard plastic, those goggles won't fit me. The goggles come in a nice case with mesh so they can dry out and breathe; the case has lasted over a year, too. I also like the straps because they are infinitely adjustable. I've had them for over a year now, swim three times a week, and couldn't be happier with them. Well, I could, if they had clear lenses, but that's a personal choice.

Cabo Goggles
Actually I got these goggles for taking on vacation. When they came I was amazed at the quality, especially since their cost was so reasonable. I cannot take them and never used them. You see my cat ate my goggles. She loved them! She has good taste so I'm sure that if you bought these, you'd think they were the best swim goggles ever. If they ever have free shipping I will buy two pair but I get to keep mine this time.

Daughter loves it
Fits great for 11 years old daughter. She likes it.

Great Bargain
These are my favorite goggles for Masters workouts 3-4 times a week. The anti-fog works well and lasts at least as long as others I've tried and is easily extended with anti-fog solutions. Field of view is wide and comfort is great. The non-adjustable nose bridge fits me well, but may not for those with very narrow or wide bridges.

Best fitting goggles for my head!
Ordered several sets of Cabos as i lost my first ones at a triathlon. tried other Sporti models and other name brand goggles and find the Cabo to be the best fit for my head/eyes: no leaks, comfortable, and the anti-fog seems to work better and longer than other goggles i have tried. i hope they never change or phase out the Cabo!

Great practice goggles
Great price for the goggles. ($4.95) A bit steep for the shipping. ($4.99)

Bosque Bill has started a lazy man's survey of trails in the area which is pretty easy using a cool tool such as his Garmin GPS that automatically logs the tracks. The tricky part was formatting the results into something useful for you.
Featured Trail: Corrales Bosque Trail
The main, single-track trail from the northwest end of the Alameda Bridge, north up through the Corrales Bosque, to where Arroyo de las Lomitas Negras is channeled into the river is highly recommended for its scenic beauty and riding pleasure. It winds between cottonwood trees and across meadows with occasional views of the Rio Grande and Sandia Mountains.
Great bird watching opportunities abound; see the birding pages. In mid to late summer there are patches of trail that become quite sandy and other small stretches that are overgrown by alfalfa that can reach over your head.
To view scenes from along the trail use the checkbox for "Display Photo View Points."
Trail Length: From Alameda Bridge to arroyo approximately 6.5 miles (via the relatively straight levee road it's 5.7 mi.) Be courteous to other trail users.
Double-click on map to re-center & zoom map.
Click and Drag on map to pan map.
See Legend below map for trail color codes.
Click map icons to bring up info on that point.
Trails shown on map are derived from GPS data tracks logged during actual bike rides.
(if you would like a .gpx file of the trails to load into your GPS, drop me a line.)
Note Open Space and/or Park hours and observe posted regulations.
Use trails at your own risk. Be courteous to others. Be a good steward to the land.
Notice: Mid-February 2008 I discovered that the project to remove alien plant species (such as Russian Olive and Tamerisk) from the Corrales Bosque Preserve was in full "progress." Much to my dismay the use of heavy equipment to clear the underbrush and trees is extensive and has resulted in destruction of the trail in many places. Consequently, the trail map below may be out of date in the area bounded in red. I don't know how far north the destruction goes, as I lost heart and turned back. See map layer labelled "Deforestation."

Verizon, Equipment Cos. Improve IMS For Real World Deployment
Article Comments 6
Jul 27, 2006, 11:26 AM by (staff)
Verizon today, along with equipment manufacturing heavyweights unveiled two documents proposing improvements to IP Multimedia Subsystems (IMS). IMS is the new standard that is supposed to allow carriers to switch to an all IP network, including voice calls as well as create a unified experience for subscribers across a number of networks. The advances proposed today address a number of IMS's weaknesses. The proposal outlines systems to improve IMS when handing off data streams from one network to another (as UMA does now), it also addresses communication between IP-based devices and a traditional circuit switched cell phone and other non-IP devices. Because a majority of IMS equipment providers such as Cisco, Lucent, Motorola, Nortel and Qualcomm all worked with Verizon on the advances to IMS, it is highly likely they will get these improvements passed by the standards body and will be able to launch networks with the changes in place.

Non-milk milk
Hey all,
What is the best milk replacement? I've only ever had soy milk, and only in coffee. I am going to make mini cornbread muffins (with jalapenos!) tomorrow for the 4th but need to use soy or something similar. I know there is soy, rice, and oat milk (I can't use nut milk because of allergies), and maybe others that I am missing. What is the best one for something like this, or even just in general?

Hispanic ministry
Cristo Palabra de Vida (Christ Word of Life) exists to assist congregations and individuals in sharing the gospel message with their Hispanic neighbors in North America. Cristo Palabra de Vida promotes personal evangelism across cultural and linguistic borders as well as develops resources for training and providing personal growth for workers in their local fields.
For over sixty years, WELS has worked among Hispanics in the United States, concentrating in a few specific areas. As the number of Hispanics in the US grows, so does WELS desire to share the Gospel specifically with the Hispanic population. Over 75% of WELS congregations are located in areas of concentrated Hispanic populations. Different approaches can be used to reach the Hispanic demographic in your area.
Established congregations are informed of opportunities and available resources through Hispanic Consultant, Rev. Tim Flunker. Rev. Flunker develops community profiles, creates outreach plans and trains interested individuals. English as a Second Language (ESL) classes, community events and "welcome wagons" are examples of relational outreach which can create opportunities to share the Gospel.
Cristo Palabra de Vida also recognizes the need to provide Spanish-speaking called workers in some areas. In 2004, WELS expanded its Hispanic ministry by training leaders through the original WELS Hispanic Latino Outreach and Training program. WELS has gathered students from across the US to serve Spanish-speaking communities. A few of the Spanish-speaking men are enrolled in the Pastoral Studies Institute (PSI) to prepare for full time ministry.

It's madness alright.
Week five of the semester officially lapped me in this race to the end of the quarter. Yeah, that's right, midterms are here, and feel like I'm losing.
In between KidzReach, school, three jobs, friends and relationships I feel like a deflated balloon. But luckily, it's not that bad since I enjoy almost everything I have to do.
Even if I am semi-drowning in work, sports are here to save me. Football season is one of the highlights of my weekends and Mondays… even though they don't air east coast games here (my Redskins are number one in their division right now). And PUC basketball is only one week away from their first official game. Midnight Madness on Tuesday, which really just reminded me of a late night pep rally, was actually pretty fun and got me hyped for the Pioneers season. I can't wait for the crazy calls, the close games, and the buzzer shots. My nerves are already camping out in front of the gym.
They'll probably stay there for a while considering the weekend after is Fall Fest. It should be interesting to see what sort of creative tactics clubs will use to raise funds and recruit members this year. I personally can't wait for Sol Club's pupusas. Mmm…
I guess all things considered I should take midterms with a grain of salt.
So here's to all the crazy nights of going off the hill with your friends when you have a presentation the next day, or writing an extra page on your paper an hour before class because you thought it needed to be five pages long when it actually needed to be six. To staying up until midnight to claw your way through a crowd for a tee shirt, or having "study" sessions all night to prepare for the midterm in your hardest class.
At least it's not as crazy as finals week.

County contests billion-dollar stormwater rules
People on both sides can agree that clean water enforcement has created numerous benefits, for instance by helping to turn San Diego Bay from a heavily polluted waterway into a regional jewel. But there is a cost: when regulators turn the screws, it typically creates more bills for businesses or taxpayers.
Parties responsible for cleanup typically push back through comments at regional board meetings or even lawsuits. It's less common for elected officials to essentially issue a public challenge to the regional board from the dais.
"This is the first time that I have seen that approach," said Jill Witkowski at the nonprofit environmental group San Diego Coastkeeper. She told supervisors that the county's list of objections "sounds like a bunch of excuses" and the county should help innovate new ideas.
"While we don't expect the county to put poop bags on the end of a bird, there are ways to control birds," she said. "(If) you control trash, you control the seagulls that hang out at Mission Beach."
She was countered on Wednesday by a string of business leaders, who strongly supported the county's strategy because they said more stormwater regulations will increase costs for homebuilders and other companies without a tangible benefit.
Supervisor Bill Horn went even further. "I think the both the state board and the regional board should be put out of business. Period," he said.
Fecal indicator bacteria are widely used by regulators to determine whether waters are safe for swimmers and surfers. Problems typically are worst during and after storms, when rain washes all kinds of pollutants toward the ocean and generates warnings to stay out of coastal waters for 72 hours.
Regional board engineer Wayne Chiu said development of bacteria rules started about a decade ago in response to repeated contamination at local beaches. The board determined that municipal stormwater systems were major contributors to the spread of bacteria, which can come from several sources including wildlife, domestic dogs, faulty sewage pipes and homeless camps.
Then the board set limits — known as total maximum daily loads — for bacteria at 20 beaches and creeks in San Diego and southern Orange counties.
"Ultimately, our objective … is to restore and protect the (water) in our region so that both future and present generations can benefit from those waters," Chiu said.
He said cost figures presented by the stormwater agencies tend to be at the high end of what's really needed, and they should be kept in context. "I believe that if you look at the impacts being caused by bacteria — the (beach) closures associated with bacteria — that has an extremely high cost that is associated with it as well," he said.
Bacteria cleanup options range from persuading residents to pick up pet waste and more street sweeping to building stormwater retention basins and installing permeable pavers that allow stormwater to sink into the ground instead of running into creeks.
"It affects everyone," said Bill Harris, a spokesman for San Diego city's stormwater department. "It comes right down to the heart of our economy, the heart of our practices as a community."

Once again, bison business seeks increased productionFARGO, N.D. — The supply-demand situation got the North American Bison Cooperative in trouble before, but that doesn't seem to be a problem today.
By: Mikkel Pates, Agweek
FARGO, N.D. — The supply-demand situation got the North American Bison Cooperative in trouble before, but that doesn't seem to be a problem today.
The bison market demand currently is exceeding supply, even during the recession, says Dieter Pape, president and chief executive officer.
"The consumer has really gotten behind bison, even with the biggest differential between beef and bison prices in the history of the industry," Pape says. "We all believe it's because of the healthful image of the meat."
One private analysis of a bison sirloin steak, for example, showed that it had 30 percent less fat than a skinless chicken breast, while being higher in iron and protein, and lower in cholesterol.
"It's a very, very healthy red meat," he says. "Would you rather have a piece of chicken, or have a piece of steak? I personally prefer a steak."
On the natural beef side, company officials thought the majority of its demand would be on the retail/grocery level, but they found there's significant demand on the food service side.
Gina Sonaglia of Clearwater, Minn., the company's vice president of marketing since 2008, handles marketing oversees sales for both the beef and bison sides. Sonaglia had helped build Creative Memories, a scrapbook supply company, and other companies. The companies have two salesmen, as well as a customer service worker.
On the bison side, some of the larger customers have accepted new products — a marinated "value steak," a "cubed steak" geared toward Southeast and Southwest state customers, for use in chicken-fried recipes. There is a new marinated steak tips, among them. Those products are expected to come to the public this fall.
"Chefs tell us it's nice that it's 'natural,' but they're really more concerned about taste," Pape says.
Pape says the company's "never-ever" beef products wins "blind" taste tests 90 percent of the time.
Production limits
Pape says one limiting factor is the ability to recruit new producers, as well as the lenders that must back them.
Last year, the NABC had 90 bison producers who delivered animals to the co-op. All but one was a co-op member. There are some 300 co-op members, but many are out of production or too far from the plant to make delivery economical.
The National Bison Association as programs that attempt to lure new bison ranchers to the business and encourage interest through the FFA and others.
Pape says he gets frustrated when he hears that ag lenders require such high collateral requirements to lend operating money. Bison gates and fences must be heavy-duty with bison and bison need four times as much feedlot space as cattle.
"The investment is more, but the payout is more," Pape says. "I heard one loan officer say that unless a young person was coming from a family that is willing to give him 1,000 acres, their ability to get into a beef or bison operation is zero. I thought that was a pretty poor statement on how we can build an industry in the state."
On the beef side, the company deals primarily with 10 different feeders today. More than half are in North Dakota, a few are in South Dakota and one is in Minnesota.
Pape is looking to do business with producers who are raising natural beef that fit the company's protocol.
"There is a premium for that, and — hopefully — they're able to make a little more raising 'natural' vs. 'conventional' cattle," he says.
It varies by time of year, but generally there is a 10- to 15-cent-per-pound price differential for natural vs. convention-
Yes, there's extra effort in managing the feedlot to control disease, so that neither medications nor hormones are necessary.
"There are a lot of good feeders in North Dakota that practice good feedlot management and are able to raise natural beef cattle," he says.
While feedlots of all sizes can raise "natural" beef, Pape acknowledges that customers including Whole Foods, among others, are looking to source animals and meat from "mom and pop operations," which fits "extremely well in North Dakota."

The Electoral Commissioner receives frequent requests from within the non-parliamentary sector to provide electoral advice and to conduct elections for a range of organisations and clients. Elections are conducted under the Industrial Relations Act 1979 and other non-parliamentary elections under the Electoral Act 1907. These elections are conducted using either the postal voting method or as 'voting in person' elections.
The Electoral Commissioner ensures the elections are conducted in a timely manner with impartiality, independence and efficiency. The administration of these elections is constantly reviewed and streamlined using database technology and project planning techniques.
Election Rules
The Commission encourages organisations to be more comprehensive in detailing their election rules. A booklet of standard rules has been developed for use by organisations that request information on election rules. The rules include best practice methods currently in use by the Commission and can be used as a guide for developing the specific requirements of election rules for individual organisations.
The overall functionality of elections is dependent on specific election rules and, to this end, the Commission is willing to work with organisations to review and establish individual election rules that result in fair and proper elections.
Current Election
Elections are currently being conducted for the following Union and Other Elections:

The question I get asked frequently is can you really make 6-figures a year or more through blogging and the answer is a resounding YES!
There are literally hundreds of thousands of people making some really serious money online through blogging.
Now the way folks make it to 6-figures will vary…
Some make money by getting paid as freelancers to write on other people's blogs, while others make money by having their own blog.
Both methods pay enough so that people can easily earn 6-figures a year or more doing them.
Still not convinced?
Well I'm going to walk you through how you can get started with both and then I'll tell you how you can make from $300-$1,000 per day by doing exactly what I do!
Method # 1: Freelance Blogging
A freelance blogger is someone who writes blog posts for other people's blogs in exchange for a pre-set payment.
On a low end, some freelance bloggers only make $5.00 per post but I also know of quite a few who make from $300 to $500 a post and even more!
There are three different places to get your first gig as a paid blogger and they are:
– Guru.com
Keep in mind that the competition is quite heavy so if you want to win bids, you should have several first class samples on hand.
Even if you need to write five articles just for the sake of having samples and not getting paid for them, it's probably worth it.
In the beginning, you can expect to earn around $5-$25 a post.
With time (and some stellar writing) you'll be able to command higher rates.
Method # 2: Your Own Blog
If you have your own blog, you can do very well with blogging!
And there's a bunch of different ways you can make money by using your own website but I'm only outline a few…
Write Paid Review Or Articles
Basically this is where companies will pay you money to review their product on your blog.
Promote Affiliate Products
You can make money by selling or promoting different affiliate products and programs.
You review programs that you personally endorse and any time someone buys the product through your link, you get paid a commission!
Advertising Programs
You can also make money through advertising programs and AdSense is the easiest program to get started with and can be placed on just about any website.
Plus you can also make money by selling your own advertising to people who want to advertise on your site.
Now with your own website, in order to make 6-figures or more a year through blogging, the first thing you'll need to do is build up an audience.
The secret to building an audience is to provide very, very good content over a long period of time.
That, coupled with some basic SEO and online promotion techniques, will help you gradually and steadily build a reputable site online that can make you a very generous full-time income.
So Can You Really Make 6-Figures A Year From Blogging?
The answer is yes, absolutely!
If you've never made money online before, it can seem a little too good to be true.
"You mean I can get paid for blogging? Really?"
However, it's not as easy as it seems.
It takes work and commitment.
But the money, the freedom and the payoff are very, very real.
Success & Blessings!

Arjen Robben was distraught after his latest "terrible" penalty cost Bayern Munich dearly in their UEFA Champions League final defeat to Chelsea.
Robben had the chance to put Bayern on their way to European glory in extra time on Saturday when Didier Drogba fouled Franck Ribery inside the box.
But Petr Cech saved what was a poor spot-kick from his former Blues team-mate before going on to help his side win a dramatic penalty shoot-out. Bayern led that shoot-out early on, having also been two minutes away from winning the final in normal time.
Robben, who also fluffed a penalty in their Bundesliga title showdown with Borussia Dortmund, said: "I can't describe how I feel with words, but it's been a terrible night. Two or three times you feel you have the cup in your hands, but at the end you stand with nothing.
"It wasn't a good penalty. I wanted to shoot the ball hard and high in the goal, but the ball didn't go high enough. It was a terrible penalty kick. After that, I still played well but you have to change your mindset at that point."
Robben was consoled by both match-winner Drogba and UEFA president Michel Platini after Bayern's 4-3 shoot-out defeat, following a 1-1 draw at the Allianz Arena. "The fact that Drogba and Platini tried to cheer me up was nice, but it's worth nothing," Robben said. "I wanted that cup but it didn't happen."
Team-mate Thomas Muller, who thought he had scored the winner for Bayern, insisted the better team lost. He told Sky Sports: "That is football, we have seen it in the past. It is not always the better team that have the cup in the end.
"When you score in front of your own fans so close to the end and then you watch Chelsea holding the cup, you can see that a lot has happened. It is hard to find words for that, but football is not everything."

Chapter 4: The IEDC Reacts
| Comments

- Star Exclusive: IEDC

Stephen Akard, director of international development for the Indiana Economic Development Corp.; Submitted photos for April 2006 from South Bureau or for Johnson County AM section.
Liang stood accused of possible crimes. The IEDC began an investigation. Somewhere along the line, officials say, Akard and Roob of the IEDC confronted her about the allegations.
She was upset, Akard said, and denied the allegations. She denied writing the email asking that a company deposit cash in exchange for access to Roob. "She actually claimed her account information had been cut and pasted into that email," Akard said. "I don't know what that means. I don't know."
Liang's fate appeared to rest upon Laurie Morone, the IEDC's in-house counsel charged with investigating her.
In the mean time, she got back to work.
In August 2011, roughly a month after the complaint came in, she took three trips to Chicago on the IEDC's dime. At least one of them was to meet with SME officials.
Then, on Sept. 1, 2011, Liang's contract with the IEDC was terminated. During nearly four months with the state she had earned a total of $26,432.
Roob and current IEDC officials maintain that the agency's investigation was unable to corroborate anything in the complaint letter. But because she was a contractor and not an employee, officials say, they could end the relationship without cause.
"We were concerned about our reputation and our ability to attract new investment opportunities," Akard said. "She was probably no longer in a position to do that effectively."
On the same day Liang was let go, Daniels announced the resignation of Roob, who had hired Liang.
Officials say it was not related to the Liang incident. "Don't be preposterous," Roob said when asked by The Star about the timing of his departure. He said the two events happening on the same day was either a coincidence, or he wanted to take care of the matter before Dan Hasler took over as the new Secretary of Commerce. "I brought Monica into the agency, right?"
Asked if he had a personal relationship with Liang, Roob answered, "No."
With high praise from Daniels, Roob returned to the private sector as chief executive of the health-care technology company WoundVision.
Moving on without Liang
Sometime during that summer, she met Chicago lawyer Thomas Gehl, an expert in EB-5, the federal program that offers green cards to foreigners who invest in U.S. companies.
Gehl said he was not directly involved with her deal with Ao, which happened before he met her. But he was advising her on the EB-5 program.
Gehl, who started seeing Liang shortly after her contract was terminated, was with her in her Carmel apartment when she collapsed.
He described her death as "very sudden and totally bewildering."
Liang's body was cremated and the ashes were sent to family in China.
Gehl said he knew nothing of the allegations against her until he was told by The Star a year later.
He described her departure from the IEDC this way: "When Mitch left, she'd been a favorite son of his, so then I think there was different support that was going on in different camps. So when Mitch left her contract was terminated."
Liang's death leaves many questions.
Lawyers have stepped in to manage her estate, whose value is estimated to be about $120,000.
The century-old building Liang owned in downtown Marion sold in June for $15,000 -- less than half what Liang had paid four years ago.
YK Furniture, the deal that brought Liang to the IEDC's attention, has gone nowhere. Today the huge parking lot has no gardens, just weeds, cracked pavement and broken glass.
The $50,000 that appears to have been wired to Liang's account has disappeared. The checking account that appeared to receive it now has a balance of $91.30.
The only person who could explain where the money went is dead, and the IEDC has moved on.

A NEW type of treatment for some cancers of the blood and the lymph glands may avoid most of the unpleasant side effects of many drugs used to combat cancer. Patients in Dallas and London are helping to test the therapy, which is a variant of the 'magic bullet' approach of targeting drugs to attack cancerous cells and leave healthy cells intact.
The 20 patients all have cancer of the lymph glands, of a type called B-cell lymphoma. The scientists who developed the therapy, from the Imperial Cancer Research Fund in London and the University of Texas in Dallas, say that equivalent therapies for T-cell lymphoma and another cancer of the lymph glands, Hodgkin's disease, should soon be available for tests.
The treatment consists of an antibody linked to a poison called ricin. According to Philip Thorpe, who leads the team at the cancer charity, the poison is 'outstandingly powerful'. ...

Electron Cyclotron Resonance Heating (ECRH) is used for the formation of the axial confining potential by plug/barrier-ECRH (P/B-ECRH) and for the bulk electron heating in the central-cell by central-ECRH (C-ECRH) in GAMMA 10. The plasma performance was increased with ECRHs injection. However the degradation of the plasma parameter was occasionally observed during C-ECRH injection. Increase of the number of the loss particle was also observed at the same time. The mechanism of the degradation of the plasma parameter was investigated in terms of the particle balance.

KTM 990 injection fuel pump reasonably priced.

KTM 990 injection fuel pump reasonably priced.
This fuel pump originally made for cars is made in China. Chosen from a big manufacturer is undergone surgery. It ends up a nice fit in place of the original fuel pump. Rated at 3,5 bar at 90lit/h, pressure and quantity is adequate at all times while it costs 45€, shipment is included.
The elastic base which holds the fuel pump from turning when it starts and stops. The lower side of the fuel pump needs to fit in the rubber cavities. So some surgery was needed.
Original fuel pump (lower photo) compared to my version Chinese fuel pump (upper photo) after modifications.
Upper side of the pump had some extra plastic around the connections that needed removing. Here it is after surgery.
The shape of the original fuel pump differs slightly from the imitation so the smaller supporting cage is not functional. The outer larger cage needs some spacers in order to reach the aluminum pump nest, so longer bolts and nuts rectify that imperfection (included).
The bronze little pipe falls short now so an aluminum spacer flange is included to sit in the pipe's nest and keep it from bottoming. This way the pipe seals properly to both its ends.
So a complete set includes 2 longer bolts 1.5cm M5, one flange spacer in aluminum, 2 nuts and an o-ring 60X3 made of viton, sealing the fuel pump assembly, shown in the above picture since it usually gets damaged.
I also include a small o-ring at the intake of the pump to ensure sealing at intake.
Delivery time can take up to 22 days.
Payment is through Paypal.
There is always a reason!!

Disease control and Plant Health are critical to helping a crop reach its full potential of high yields and high quality. There is now a distinctive choice for farmers to use to cultivate strong, plentiful crops. Xemium® fungicide, one of the latest active ingredients from BASF, helps power Priaxor™ fungicide and Merivon® fungicide, two unique Plant Health fungicides that take crop protection to a whole new level.
Xemium fungicide forms rainfast reservoirs on leaf surfaces that allow it to distribute its unique chemistry throughout plant leaves over time. The active ingredient moves easily and quickly within plant leaves. This high level of mobility and distribution enables it to reach areas untouched by the initial application. Combined with its high level of activity, this mobility helps ensure longer-lasting, continuous protection and more consistent performance in terms of disease prevention and post-infection control.
Xemium fungicide is the active ingredient powering Priaxor™ fungicide for soybeans, potatoes and tomatoes and Merivon® fungicide for pome and stone fruits, including apples, peaches and cherries. A combination of the next-generation chemistry of Xemium fungicide and F500®, the same active ingredient as in Headline® fungicide and Pristine® fungicide, these products offer more continuous disease control, and Plant Health benefits. And research shows that Priaxor fungicide and Merivon fungicide provide more consistent performance.
Priaxor fungicide and Merivon fungicide join the portfolio of Plant Health products from BASF that includes Headline fungicide, Headline AMP® fungicide for corn, Twinline® fungicide for wheat and Pristine fungicide for specialty crops.
Learn more about Xemium fungicide and the two fungicides with this active ingredient at
Consult with your State Regulatory Agency regarding the status of registration of Priaxor fungicide and Merivon fungicide in your State.

I seem to have an unfortunate knack of finding trouble in supermarket car parks.
Maybe I have a magnet attraction for nutters/thuggish individuals, or perhaps supermarket car parks bring out the worst in people.
Shoppers bent on aggro seek me out like moths to a flame.
A few weeks back, while trying to find a parking space, I slowed down briefly while a woman was attempting to reverse out of a tight space.
She was making a right mess of it, so I carried on because a queue was building up behind me.
As I drove around the car park, I noticed she had stopped her car in the middle of one of the exit lanes and had begun screaming at the top of her voice. I soon realised she was screaming at me. I couldn't really hear what she was saying but I did catch the sentence: "Have you got issues?"
It was clear that it wasn't me who had "issues", but this irrational outburst made me wonder what the consequences would be if her crazy behaviour manifested itself on a motorway.
Last Saturday, trouble sought me out again. In the same supermarket car park I was just about to pull out from my space into one of the exit lanes, when a woman drove into the lane the wrong way, so fast as to be reckless, and screeched to a halt just a few yards away from me. If I had not braked sharply there would have been a head-on collision.
I slowed down to give her one of my famous icy stares when a man, presumably her husband/partner, jumped out of the passenger seat and shouted "Today's not the day, mate."
He was in a confrontational mood and you would have thought it was me who had just driven dangerously.
Then, the woman jumped out of the car and shouted: "Do I look as though I care?"
I was lost for words. Funny, isn't it that you always think of the appropriate slick response after the event. What I should have said was: "You ought to care, love, because I've got your number and I'm on my way to the police station to complain about your dangerous driving."
I have concluded that there is no point in having a slanging match with people like this.
It's not worth bringing yourself down to their level.
Next, I saw a tattooed man in a vest, behind the wheel of a huge camper van which totally occupied the space set aside at the store's entrance as a drop-off point, particularly for elderly or disabled customers.
Then I saw a boy racer driving round the car park at 30mph, oblivious to the fact that a child could have run out from behind car at any moment….
Then I saw a car parked across two spaces.
Then I saw...
No, that's enough. I think I'll just stay away from supermarket car parks in future. They do nothing for my stress levels.

Nearly a month has passed since the decision was announced to charge disabled drivers for parking at Medway Maritime Hospital and I'm still trying to work out the perverse logic behind it.
The idea, according to the Medway NHS Foundation Trust, is to "create fairness around concessions".
That sounds like the logic of the madhouse to me.
Which brings me this question: What have Barclays Bank and the Medway NHS Foundation Trust got in common?
Answer: Not a lot, I hear you say.
But here's a point worth pondering, even if you do think I'm being far-fetched.
A small group of traders at Barclays Bank made a decision, which resulted in horrendously bad publicity for the bank.
At the Medway NHS Foundation Trust a small group of people made a decision, which resulted in horrendously bad publicity for the Trust.
By comparison, the rumpus over parking charges is just a minor spat and I'm not suggesting anything else.
What we do have is two sets of circumstances totally unrelated and at opposite ends of the spectrum, but both achieving in their own way an unwelcome outcome – damaging headlines day after day.
The bankers are guilty of outrageous greed. The people at the Trust were motivated by the best of intentions, albeit misguided. Both were typical of decisions made in a goldfish bowl without consideration of the wider impact.
In reality, as has already been pointed out, the estimated £180,000 a year the disabled parking charges will bring in extra revenue is just peanuts in terms of the overall Medway NHS budget.
Decisions by public bodies such as the NHS should sometimes be more than just about the bottom line. By forcing blue badge holders to pay, Medway's health bosses have created a widespread perception that they are callous and money-grabbing? Was it worth it for an extra £180,000 a year?
What the spin doctors call "negative coverage" of the disabled parking row will have caused reverberations at the highest level at the Trust, especially as Medway Council's controlling Conservative group has joined in the criticism.
I wonder if anyone at the Trust has been wondering how good it would be if the clock could be turned back and a different decision arrived at.
If I were to be really mischievous, I could suggest ways in which the Trust could raise even more money - £120 a night for a bed, all drugs and meals to be paid for by the patient, a scale of charges depending on your illness and, oh, labour costs for the doctors and nurses' hours, rather like your bill from the garage.
Or have I just described a private hospital?

It was every event organiser's worst nightmare - writ large.
The Kent County Show posed a classic challenge in disaster management. And to be fair to the Kent County Agricultural Society, organisers didn't do too badly in that area. Communications combined with action is key.
You have to hand it to George Jessel, the doughty chairman and former military officer who communicated to the media as quickly and frankly as he could. He had some tough decisions to take amid conflicting advice from police, highway chiefs and weather pundits.
He came in for a media grilling but bravely fessed up in a stressful situation.
But there's no doubt he was let down by poor signage - the show was not closed as stated by the road signs, but most of the car parks were. Many probably stayed away when they might well have got in. Many people were so keen to get into the show that they parked their cars outside the ground. Bad publicity is bizarrely often good publicity, giving the show a profile it's not enjoyed for years.
Hindsight is a wonderful thing, and it's easy to blame organisers for not putting down bark chippings, sawdust and taking a host of precautions ahead of Thursday night's deluge. But not all the fields are controlled by the society.
Many traders had a bad show, with disappointing takings and understandably vowing never to return. Many came a long way.
But they should remember that other shows like the Great Yorkshire were abandoned or cut short. Jessel and his team were determined to keep the show on the road in the face of daunting odds. We cannot change the British weather. The Kent County Show went on regardless of the mud, slipping and sliding - and most visitors showed dogged British grit to enjoy themselves despite the squelch.
And the numbers were surprisingly good, confirmed by the official attendance figure of 50,000, not bad for a virtual washout. If the figures are to be believed, the figure was not too far short of last year's 67,000.
But that's a far cry from the 100,000-plus that used to regard the show as an annual must and a marvellous shop window for the high-quality output of the Garden of England.
KCAS faces a whopping loss - probably at least £300,000 - but the show loses money in most years. It's sensible of the society to invest in conference facilities that spread the risk and bring in substantial year-round revenues.
As for George Jessel, he is due to step down in February after six years as chairman. The 2012 show would be a sad way for him to go. He has shown leadership and charisma at the KCAS helm, taking it into the 21st century and steering it away from reliance on the show. He will be a hard act to follow and, if he can stand more flak, deserves the chance to stay on a little longer. One commentator described his response to trying circumstances as heroic.
It may be against the rules but in this case and in the interests of the society, they could be broken. He should be remembered for far more than the Detling quagmire - and allowed to step down after a thumping success rather than a damp disappointment.

Robert Pattinson on GMA: "I've Never Been Interested in Trying to Sell My Personal Life"
Robert Pattinson still looked good — hair gelled up, casual in dark clothes — but he definitely had a few awkward moments at the start of his talk Wednesday on Good Morning America. It wasn't as smooth a ride as he had eating ice cream with Jon Stewart.
Rob just wanted to promote his new movie, Cosmopolis, but that's not how it works. George Stephanopoulos asked him about "the elephant in the room" — without ever saying the name Kristen Stewart — and his simple question about how Rob was doing, and what he wanted his fans to know about his personal life, sent the actor into a sputtering tailspin. He said something about the fans (screaming outside) being excited for other reasons and he referenced the box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch placed on the table between them on the GMA set, because it's Rob's favorite cereal. (Nice plug for them, but he didn't eat it like he did the Ben & Jerry's with Jon.)
"I'd like my fans to know Cinnamon Toast Crunch only has 30 calories a bowl, for instance," Rob joked before adding, "Pretty much everything that comes out of my mouth is irrelevant."
George said it's clear he doesn't want to talk too much about it, so is that the way he gets through all the craziness?
"It's a different thing," Rob answered. "You get into it to do movies. I mean, I've never been interested in trying to sell my personal life and that's really the only reason people bring it up. And so that's the reason why you go on TV — to promote movies. That's the only way to do it."
Is there any way to get used to all this, George asked?
"No, I don't think so," Rob said. "I think if you start getting used to it, it means you're going crazy. But it's nice. It's like being on the craziest theme park ride you've been on. It's totally exciting but eventually at some point you've got to have, like, a break."
George quoted Rob from a recent interview where he said bankers and billionaires (like his Cosmopolis character) should be followed by paparazzi. What did he mean by that?
"The weird thing is I can't tell what's interesting about actors either," Rob said. "People with much, much more power than any celebrity would have — they don't find their personal lives interesting. I think if you put the lives of people who control billions of dollars on the front pages of every single paper I think the world would be a better place. It's the spin culture. If you took away publicists and things and people spoke for themselves then they have to be responsible for their words."
Rob still doesn't have a publicist at this point, but he does have a manager who doesn't like to be confused with his publicist. But he makes a good point — Wall Street honchos and other money-makers are getting more of a free ride, away from the glare of the tabloids. What really needs to happen is the billionaires and bankers out there need to be much, much more attractive so people actually want to read about their personal lives. And maybe we should cast them all in the next version of Twilight — maybe the Fifty Shades of Grey film — so they get a taste of the spotlight, just like Rob and Kristen.
