Dear iDEALS, while going through a box piled with old archival DVDs, I came through a submission by one of the first people Un nouVeau iDEAL collaborated with, photographer Rita Blade.
Rita used to be my Parisian catwalk correspondent and her work was both featured on my blog as well as Istegrafo magazine's fashion issue, a publication of Phileleftheros, which I guest-curated once per season for four years. The following photographs reveal moments from Antonio Berardi, Junko Shimada,Alena Akhmadullina, Kenzo and JC/DC.
...when commercials where all about the right mood. Thanks to Alex Kavvadias for sending.
Dear iDEALS, this photo was taken probably 11 or 12 years back. At the time I was working as assistant stylist to Nicholas Georgiou for L'Officiel magazine in Greece. On that day, Athens was covered in snow which was really something to look at since everything looked clean for the first time. The image belongs in a series of photographs taken outside Nichola's house. I will always remember that winter as I was trying to get over my biggest love affair. Even the memory of it still hurts...
Dear iDEALS, for those of you who truly love fashion most probably remember of heared about NOVA magazine. In early 1960s Nova magazine was Britain's 'style bible', and had a massive impact on the fashion of the era. Alongside the fashion pages, it carried serious and often controversial columns on matters such as feminism, homosexuality or racism. At the time, the publication was unique, but by the 1970s other magazines started to clone Nova's concept. Nova itself soon started to look tired and fell victim to sluggish sales, and closed in 1975 after 10 years in operation - a lifetime in the magazine industry.
"Nova was a politically radical, beautifully designed, intellectual women's magazine. In 1965 it discussed sex and the Pill, and epitomised the sophistication of London with its bold type and empty white space. There were 5,000 word articles by Christopher Booker, Susan Sontag, Irma Kurtz, and photographs by Helmut Newton and Don McCullin."
A number of well-respected fahion photographers would present their work in every issue including Helmut Newton and Duffy (famously tried to destroy all his negatives in a garden bonfire in 1979. Stopped by the local Council, some thankfully survived and underwent a renaissance in an exhibition at the Chris Beetles Gallery last year. He has not taken photographs since then, up until the making of this BBC documentary when he got behind a camera once more, now aged 77)
NOVA was relaunched back in 2000 failing to achieve it's maiden success..
Catherine Redfern states: "Most magazines are the type of you read once and then chuck in the bin, perhaps ripping out a couple of interesting articles first to keep for posterity. Some magazines you keep, because it feels somehow wrong to throw them away. They look so good, it seems sacriligious to even cut something out. Nova was one of the latter, for me. I had a real, love hate relationship with it. It entranced and infuriated me at the same time. Now, just one year after it launched, IPC have stopped producing it because "commercially [it] has not reached its targets." I was planning to write a review of it for this website before I found out, so I decided to do it anyway, as a kind of retrospective look back, a ponder about what could have been. I can't say I'm devastated about Nova flopping, because I'm not. The more I read Nova over the past few months, the more it seemed to decline in quality since that first promising issue of June 2000."

Chop and change
Funny that everyone should be talking about convertible cars this month, because I've decided in the last few days that it's about time I had one again. The old Bentley remains peerless for civic duties, the 911 is perfect for slaying the hideously headed sporting monster, and the old Range Rover is ideal for driving the six miles to the garage where they both live. But a chap should have a convertible.
It's now six years since I last owned one; I have become pale and listless through staying indoors too much. So I've taken my available budget – £10,000 at the very most – and started scouring all the usual sources for a suitable open motor.
Before we get to that, though, it might be a good time to deal with some of the objections raised by so-called enthusiasts whenever convertibles are mentioned. Principal among these is that removing the roof from a car, or even designing one as a cabriolet from the start, ruins the handling.
I wish to declare now, even after decades in which people have been whittering on about 'scuttle shake' and weight distribution corrupted by extra strengthening, that nothing matters less. Providing the doors don't actually fly open on roundabouts, the issue of structural rigidity will never, ever bother you. I have taken countless mates and girlfriends along country roads in open cars, while the single stalkless flower of the sun hangs in a spotless bowl of inverted blue, and not one of them has ever turned to me with a face like a farmer's arse and said, "You know, James, I can't help feeling that the dynamic envelope of this car has been compromised by a fundamental lack of chassis stiffness and the weight penalty imposed upon it by all that floorpan strengthening." No man was ever binned by his best girl because his Saab 900 Cabrio was a bit limp.
That's one of the great things about driving a convertible; that 90 per cent of its appeal is in its rooflessness, and the rest can go hang. In a Porsche 911 Coupe, the drive is about the car. But in the 911 Cabrio, for all its flaws, the drive is about the world around you. It becomes a sort of personal cinema with added Smell-o-Vision. It's especially good at this time of year, when speed conspires with nature to deliver the heady scent of recreation to you with a mild supercharging effect. As one anonymous mediaeval lyricist once observed, 'merrie it is while summer lasts'. On the right day you can flash past a country pub in a convertible and, briefly, the smell of beer will interrupt the olfactory backdrop of wilting grass.
"In the 911 Cabrio, the drive is about the world around you. It becomes a personal cinema with added Smell-o-Vision"
And then there's the mistaken belief that convertibles aren't as safe. This may be true in theory if you turn one over, but the fact is that you won't, because you'll hold back. You'll hold back because the dynamic envelope is compromised by a lack of rigidity and the weight-distribution penalty occasioned by extra strengthening. Add to that the matter of your head being exposed, and a love of arcadia will soon overcome any desire to take it to the ragged edge. It's rather like riding a motorcycle without a crash helmet – a great feeling, but you'll be disinclined to get it right over.
Convertibles are also a perfect antidote to road rage. Denied the false sense of security that is a fully enclosed box, the convertible driver is usually a model of civility to pedestrians, cyclists and cab drivers. Think about it. You might shout abuse at Simon Cowell when he's on the telly, but if you met him face to face I bet you'd say "Hello Mr Cowell."
Finally, there's a suspicion amongst blokes my age – which is middle-aged, sadly – that we might look a bit ridiculous in convertible cars. I would readily admit that Wayne Rooney's missus would look better than me, but she'd look better than me in my clothes. That doesn't mean I have to wear a smock and it doesn't mean I can't have a convertible. I just have to choose carefully.
So – the car. I'm not particularly bothered by the number of seats, the country of origin or the performance. What I want is an open car that I can drive around in without looking like a complete tool. And, I have to say, it's not as easy as it seems.
There's nothing new for my money unless I include the Smart City Cabriolet, or the Smart Fortwoluvvies, as I think it's now called, since that's only the front half of a car and I'd rather have the whole thing. I want a car with no roof, not one with no bum.
I fairly quickly ruled out a classic as well, despite a secret hankering for a Triumph Stag or a Sixties' Alfa Duetto. I want to spend my free Sundays in the car, not under it, and so far this year the gaps in the weather have not been long enough to allow a cylinder head rebuild and a nice drive.
So that meant something 10 years old or so – not old enough to be a coveted classic, and not so new that it's still sitting around as an approved used car on a franchised dealer's forecourt. This narrowed it down quite a bit, but there was still plenty of room for further elimination.
An old-model BMW 3-Series, for example, is a nice car but I always get the impression that they're driven by people who think I'll be interested in the CD they've just bought. The MX-5 is too youth, the old Mercedes SL is too German, and the last Alfa Spider is too fragile.
I could go on, but I've made my decision. I've decided to go for something with an appropriately long bonnet, a well pukka number of cylinders, commensurate maintenance bills, and handling not affected by its conversion from a coupe since it was already rubbish when it was one of those. It's a late-model V12 Jaguar XJ-S Convertible, a hugely underrated car that can easily be had in excellent condition within my budget.
I expected the usual gales of derision from my contemporaries when I announced this, but to my surprise most people thought it made sense. Even Jeremy, who has never approved of anything I've bought, right down to, and including, my shoes, thought it was "a great idea".
But I'm not even going to let that put me off.

A ruling from Maryland's highest court calls into question a state law that requires some people to register as sex offenders for crimes committed decades ago.
Monday's ruling means one man will have his name removed from the sex offender database. Other offenders may also be able to challenge their inclusion as a result.
Maryland first created a sex offender registry database in 1995, and more than 8,300 people are now registered in the database. Lawmakers strengthened sex offender laws in 2009 and 2010.
The man having his name removed committed his crime in the early 1980s, before the creation of the database, but pleaded guilty in 2006 after it was in place. Six of the seven judges on Maryland's highest court agreed he should not have his name included.

High school graduation rates are now officially a public-health metric.
The Health and Human Services Department announced its Leading Health Indicators on Monday, a list of metrics for measuring public-health progress that is adjusted every 10 years. The fourth decade of HHS's Healthy People campaign will focus on equity, prevention, and the "social determinants" such as education, income, and race that are strongly linked to health.
"We literally need 20/20 vision for a healthier society," Assistant Secretary for Health Howard Koh told reporters at the American Public Health Association's annual meeting in Washington.
Oral health made the list for the first time. The new list of leading indicators features many of the mainstays from past lists—albeit tweaked to reflect new trends in public-health thinking and the Obama administration's health care philosophy. Noticeably absent from the list are metrics tracking increased abstinence in young people, part of the 10 leading health indicators for 2010 that were released in 2000.
The full list: access; clinical preventive services such as childhood immunization and diabetes control; environmental quality; injury and violence; maternal, infant, and child health; mental health; nutrition, physical activity,and obesity; oral health; reproductive and sexual health; social determinants; substance abuse and tobacco.
Koh celebrated the expansion of health care insurance under the 2010 health care law -- a line the audience applauded. He also highlighted first lady Michele Obama's efforts to combat childhood obesity with her Let's Move! campaign.
The focus on the larger, social picture surrounding health care outcomes reflects "a new dimension right now in public health," Koh said, "a paradigm shift with respect to social determinants."
Koh headed a panel that also included American Public Health Association Executive Director Georges Benjamin, W.K. Kellogg Foundation Vice President Gail Christopher, HHS Chief Technology Officer Todd Park, and Arturo Sanchez, vice president and chief medical officer for BlueCross BlueShield of Texas.
In a question-and-answer session, more than one conference attendee asked the panel how the recession will affect funding for public-health organizations and community health groups.
"We are adamant that we protect those funds," Benjamin said. He urged members of the audience to meet with "resource allocators" in their communities, including members of Congress. Advocates should argue that public health services are not only vital but that they also create local jobs, he said.
"We need to seize this opportunity to propel the understanding of how the dots connect," Christopher said. She and Sanchez both said that the public-health sector can use this moment to pursue partnerships with the corporate sector.
Overall, the 2020 Healthy People initiative encompasses 42 topics and nearly 600 objectives. New topics include global health, health-care-associated infections, lesbian and gay issues, and problems of the elderly. An interagency working group weighed input from the Institute of Medicine, the HHS Secretary's Advisory Committee, public-health organizations, and the public.
HHS also released new standards for measuring race, ethnicity, sex, primary language, and disability status, fulfilling a requirement of the 2010 health care law. "With this advance, we as a nation can better understand and target health disparities and ultimately move toward eliminating them," Koh wrote in a blog post on Monday.

Carrollton Council heard plans for a new motel and development on the north end of the village, but couldn't do anything to move the project forward due to a lack of council members present.
Jim Bertram, regional director of Corporex Energy Solutions LLC, presented council with plans for a 100-room, four-story Candlewood Suites Hotel on a 26.916-acre tract north of Discount Drug Mart on SR 43. Bertram told council they want to break ground in August and be under roof before November snowfall.
Corporex was founded by The William P. Butler Construction Company in 1965 and has developed over 18 million square feet of Class A office and industrial space. Bertram said the company owns 21 hotels and manages 60. The home office is located in Covington, KY.
"We are aggressive builders but build good quality," said Bertram. "We are a very community friendly company and plan to bring retail, commercial and multi-family single homes to the area."
Bertram explained the hotel drive will be north of the current underground pipelines and they are working with Tennessee Gas to not encroach on their easements.
An ordinance approving the subdivision of the tract currently owned by Mary Lou McClelland was scheduled to be presented to council as an emergency but could not be addressed due to lack of council members in attendance. The ordinance would have divided the property into a 2.990-acre tract and the remaining 23.926-acres. The Planning Commission met and recommended allowing the subdivision.
The six-member council has a vacant seat due to the resignation of Luke Grimes. The remaining members could have voted on the ordinance but Councilman Chris Barto noted at the June 3 meeting he would be on vacation and would not be at the June 24 meeting. Councilwoman Wilma Lambert was out of town due to reasons beyond her control and was not able to attend.
According to Ohio Revised Code, when a village council has a majority of its current members present they can have a meeting, but they cannot pass ordinances or resolutions.
Corporex has an office on 2nd St. S.W. where Bertram is working. They are in the process of purchasing the 26 plus acre tract.
"We are very proud of what we do," stated Bertram. "We pride ourselves on bringing good things to communities."
In an unrelated matter, council heard a report from the finance committee meeting held June 17. Mary Ann Miller, committee chairperson, said discussion included the possibility of changing council member's salaries. If they decide it would have to be done five days before the August filing deadline.
Per diem travel is currently $30 daily excluding tips. The committee felt with raising costs per diem should be increased to $50 daily including tips but excluding alcohol.
The main discussion revolved around increasing sewer rates. Miller told council she would like to see something done because the village is in need of funds for the wastewater treatment plant. The cost to run the plant is far exceeding the cost of the previous plant and not enough money has been allocated to cover bills.
Mike Leslie, water and street superintendent, gave his monthly report telling council there are still problems with the wastewater treatment plant. Leslie said engineers say it takes one-to-two years to get the bugs worked out of a new system. A major issue involves power issues when the generator is used and the contractor is working with Leslie to fix the problem. However, contractors will not return calls and are not working with the village on plumbing and electrical issues. XXX Bonds may be called upon to get the companies involved.
The committee recommends a $4.50 per month hike in sewer bills. The increase could be established by $1.50 raise per month quarterly or every three months until the rate is met.
Miller said she knew no action could be taken tonight but wanted to get the information out there because this is an action that council cannot afford to put off.
Regarding payment of bills, a $350 charge from Koehlinger Engineering was questioned. Mayor Frank Leghart explained the charge is for services rendered for an official opinion on the status of a garage located 244 2nd St. S.W. Koehlinger Engineering found the garage in deplorable condition that cannot be salvaged. The foundation has a crack that would need repaired before the garage could be rebuilt. The firm's recommendation is for the garage to be raised and hauled away. It was announced at the May 13 meeting that the owner notified the village he planned to have the garage torn down by the end of May. As of this meeting, it was still standing and a hazard.
The owner will have 30 days from receipt of a notification letter to commence action or the village will have the garage torn down and removed. The owner will then be billed for the costs and that cost can include the $350 charge from Koehlinger Engineering. If the village is forced to remove the garage and the owner does not pay the bill, a lien would be placed on the owner's property tax bill.
In other business, council:
-HEARD monthly supervisor reports.
-LEARNED ground breaking for the water treatment plant may be held in July.
-SCHEDULED a Public Works Committee meeting for July 8 at 6 p.m.
-HEARD Leghart, Village Solicitor Clark Battista and Village Administrator Denny Roudebush met with an annexation attorney regarding the possible annexation of property into the village. The property is located on the north end of the village near the Napa Warehouse Distribution center.
-LEARNED several flags are missing from downtown light poles. Roudebush explained truck traffic is causing damage to the flags and making it impossible to keep the flags on the poles because they are being broken.
-REMINDED the public the budget hearing is July 8 at 6:45 p.m. in council chambers.
-PAID bills totaling $269,937.82 for vendors and $42,537.35 for payroll.
-SCHEDULED the next meeting for July 8 at 7 p.m. in council chambers.

Overview of England
Just one of the diverse and interesting countries that make up the United Kingdom, England certainly holds the title of most populated. Bordering Wales to the west and Scotland to the north, the country enjoys a landscape filled with mountainous regions, expansive lake lands and vast tracts of rolling English countryside. Its heritage and history plays an enormous part in its success as an attractive holiday destination, from the battles of the Saxons and Normans to the legendary tales of heroes like Robin Hood, but it's the endless opportunity for interesting and varied activities that inspires visitors to come to its shores. From the welcoming northerners with their lilting accents, to the relaxed inhabitants of England's coastal towns, you can be sure of a welcome wherever you choose to vacation.
Traditions and Culture in England
Every country has their traditions, those little quirks that set them apart from their neighbours, and England really is no exception. The Royal Family are quite possibly the most famous of all attractions, with thousands upon thousands of visitors flocking to visit their residences on a near daily basis. The Tower of London, the Changing of the Guard and Big Ben all follow a close second, while bowler hats, red double decker buses and black cabs follow up the rear. But head out of London and explore the rest of England and you'll find some wonderful little traditions that you might not have known existed. In the hills of the Cotswolds you'll find the famous cheese rolling competition, where every May competitors hurtle headfirst down a slope after a rolling slab of the creamy stuff. In the same month, towns and villages up and down the country don unusually colourful outfits and leap around a Maypole while equally brightly dressed energetic types get to grips with a spot of Morris dancing. Ascot Ladies day is an impressive affair – please remember to wear the most outlandish hat you can find – while bog snorkelling involves an outfit of a very different kind (and frankly no one will care what you look like by the end of it). Oh, yes, when it comes to culture and traditions, those English are a funny old lot. Now, let's all go and calm down with a nice cup of tea….
London, the capital city, is one of England's most visited destinations. Every conceivable tourist attraction can be found here, or in the vicinity at least. From zoo's and theme parks to historic sites and fashionable shopping, this tourist mecca doesn't disappoint. If the hustle and bustle of this vibrant conurbation doesn't take your fancy, there are plenty more destinations to choose from. In the south, endless opportunities to enjoy the attraction of coastal towns exist in the beachside cities of Bournemouth and Portsmouth, while Hastings is a must-visit location for history buffs. Check out the depictions of the legendary Battle of Hastings and see the account of Harold losing his eye to an arrow. Further north, Nottingham boasts the forest home of Robin Hood, while the smaller town of Stratford-upon-Avon delights visitors with its Shakespearean heritage. No matter what you're in the mood for, there's a city or town in England that's sure to satisfy your craving.
English Cuisine
Cuisine in England is as varied as the country itself, from the traditional breakfast 'fry-up', with its sausage, egg and beans concoction, to the fish and chip shops found on nearly every corner. But while the English have adopted foreign cuisine into their top ten list of favourite meals – with the Indian Korma a steadfast favourite – there are certain delicacies that remain resolutely English. Bangers and mash, or sausages and mashed potatoes to the rest of the world, might seem like an extension of breakfast, but the addition of creamy mashed potato gives it that edge over its early morning counterpart. The Ploughman's Lunch is a salad dish that originated from the packed lunches of farm hands, and typically consists of slabs of cheese, hunks of ham, pickles and some salad ingredients. And in a step away from the relatively normal, a favourite pudding called Spotted Dick is a steamed sponge with fruit that's usually served with custard.
Attractions in England
A visit to England is never complete without a visit to a stately home or two. Often the focal point for period dramas and television features, these grand abodes were once the family homes of the country's wealthiest people. With many of them now listed buildings and housing a plethora of antiques and trinkets, they are a popular choice for tourists. While a large number of them have been turned into grand hotels, there are many more that remain largely unchanged and these are often looked after by the National Trust – details of a stately home near you can be found on their website. For something a little more exciting, a variety of theme parks, zoo's and wildlife areas are bound to attract attention, and for the adventurous at heart, the English countryside holds a great deal of appeal. Whatever you're looking for from your holiday, England has it to offer. Why not check out our pages for some inspiring ideas to get you started?

Woman Charged In Fraud Scheme Against Dwelling House S&L
PITTSBURGH, Pa. ‑ A resident of Pittsburgh, Penn., has been indicted by a federal grand jury in Pittsburgh on charges of bank fraud and money laundering, United States Attorney David J. Hickton announced today.
The 11‑count indictment, returned on Aug. 24, 2010, and unsealed today, named Jammie E. Harris, a/k/a Jammie E. Williams Harris, 45.
According to the indictment, Harris executed a scheme to defraud Dwelling House Savings and Loan (DHSL) of its assets using fraudulent Automated Clearing House (ACH) transactions. Harris opened a PayPal account and associated her DHSL bank account to the PayPal account. Using PayPal to initiate ACH transactions, she caused disbursement from DHSL in amounts that far exceeded any balance she had in her account at DHSL. Those insufficient funds transactions were not rejected and reversed by DHSL personnel. The loss attributed to Harris is at least $1,101,264.60. Harris also was charged with money laundering transactions that produced checks derived from proceeds of bank fraud located at a local credit union.
The law provides for a maximum total sentence of 290 years in prison, a fine of $9,500,000, or both. Under the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, the actual sentence imposed would be based upon the seriousness of the offenses and the prior criminal history, if any, of the defendant.
Assistant United States Attorney Paul E. Hull is prosecuting this case on behalf of the government.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Internal Revenue Service‑Criminal Investigation and the City of Pittsburgh Bureau of Police conducted the investigation leading to the indictment in this case.
An indictment is only a charge and is not evidence of guilt. A defendant is presumed innocent and is entitled to a fair trial at which the government must prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

Let's Get Tough! is a 1942 film and the ninth film in the East Side Kids series, starring Leo Gorcey (as Muggs) , Huntz Hall (as Glimpy), Bobby Jordan (as Danny), and Robert Armstrong (as "Pops" the Cop). Released in early 1942, it was directed by Wallace Fox, and features the gang caught up in World War II and fighting the Black Dragon Society, an enemy sabotage ring.
The boys buy some flowers and go to the shop to apologize to the widow and notice a Japanese man take a pen from a locker the widow opened for him. Glimpy steals the pen and find that it contains a message written in Japanese.
They visit a Japanese shop run by Mr. Matsui to have it translated. He tries to steal the message but the gang threatens him, whereupon Mr. Matsui commits hari kari in their presence. The boys run to the police.
Matusui's son (Philip Ahn) successfully disguises himself as his late father to impersonate him and discredit the boys to the police. The boys take the law in their own hands to discover that Matsui is in league with German residents of the neighborhood (such as Gabriel Dell, who would play a different role in each film of the series) who are in a sabotage group called the Black Dragon Society. In a subplot, Danny's brother Phil (Tom Brown) has supposedly been dishonourably discharged from the US Navy but is working undercover to infiltrate the Black Dragons. Danny's brother's girlfriend Nora (Florence Rice), (who is in the WAVES) has a Japanese friend she went to high school with whom she seeks help from to translate the message. However he turns out to be Matsui's son, the leader of the spy ring and has her locked up in a cell in the basement of the shop.
The gang breaks into Matsui's shop that is filled with haunted house type secret passageways and trapdoors where they discover the Black Dragon Society dressed in hooded costumes that Glimpy refers to as "Japanese Halloween". The gang frees Nora and revenges the attack on Pearl Harbor by beating up the saboteurs. The film ends with Nora and Phil getting married but as they walk down the church steps with a sabre arch of East Side Kids holding their captured Japanese swords (that are quickly confiscated by the police at the end of the ceremony!). Phil is told he has orders to report back to his base as soon as possible. Phil and Nora briefly lament their not going on a honeymoon, but Muggs and the gang pile in the car and gallantly offer to accompany Nora on her honeymoon unaware of what a honeymoon entails...
The Black Dragon society also appeared in Black Dragons a 1942 release starring Bela Lugosi also written by Harvey Gates and filmed by Sam Katzman's production company.
Ernest Morrison who played Scuno in the film said that in a scene where the gang runs off he thought the filming had stopped and began counting his money he had in his pocket. The gang ad-libbed an attack on him.
The British Board of Film Censors who usually gave the East Side Kids series an 'A' (adult) rating gave Let's Get Tough! a rating approving it for all audiences, perhaps as a wartime morale booster.
At just over an hour, Let's Get Tough! is fast paced with the romantic subplot and comedy setpieces blending into the main plot of the sabotage ring. For example, Glimpy's incompetent violin playing grating on his teacher's nerves lead to the gang pawning the violin to buy flowers for Mr Keno's widow, that leads them to see Matsui's son take the pen that contains the secret message. The same violin case attracts Glimpy's attention to discover that it now contains magnesium powder (that Glimpy steals a sample of) to be used for sabotage that the gang only discover when it explodes and burns when placed next to Glimpy's mother's stove. The film stands as a reminder of the attitudes and cultures of the time, such as a fear of sabotage from well known members of the community.

Kenny Sailors Night Friday night UW-SMU game
Date posted: December 19, 2013
LARAMIE (AP) — The Wyoming-SMU men's basketball game has been declared "Kenny Sailors Night" by the University of Wyoming Athletics Department.
A halftime ceremony during the Friday night game will honor Sailors and the 70th Anniversary of Wyoming's 1943 NCAA Championship Team.
Sailors is the lone surviving member of the title team. Friday's game is scheduled to tip off at 7 p.m. at Arena-Auditorium. The 92-year-old Sailors has been inducted into the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame. He is credited by some with developing the modern-day jump shot.

A member of the Super Eagles team to Algeria 1990, Moses Kpakor has said going by the resurgence in the Eagles, nothing that will stop the team from coming home with the AFCON 2013 trophy.
Speaking to Daily Trust on phone, Kpakor 'the former policeman' of Nigerian football said even before now, he knew that the Super Eagles would win their third African title in South Africa.
He said the players have shown greater commitment and are ready to lay down their lives for the country saying if they keep up the tempo, nothing will stop them from winning the Cup on Sunday.
"For me the performance of the Eagles so far is not a surprise. I saw this coming and I have said it at different fora that the Eagles are going to win the trophy. The team is playing good football and with such commitment, it will be difficult for any team to stop the Eagles.
"When the competition started, the Eagles did not impress but I knew that that they will settle into the competition later. In 1990, we started badly against Algeria in the opening match but we went all the way to the finals", he recalled.
Kpakor attributed the team's outstanding performance to coach keshi's diligence in selection of his players as he said his former team mate in the Eagles knows exactly the kind of players he wanted.
The former BCC Lions of Gboko playmaker said many people did not support Keshi when he wanted to work with local players but he has been vindicated by the excellent performances of Sunday Mba and Godfrey Oboabona.
"Keshi is succeeding because he has made the right selection of players to work with him. He has done the right thing by combining foreign players with the home based ones to produce a formidable team".
Kpakor therefore urged the Super Eagles to remain focused on the final match on Sunday as he said the team will have enough time to relax and celebrate after winning the trophy.

Returning to Pen and Paper: The Art of Revising By Hand
As a young adult, I found my own writing practice after university by scribbling randomly on napkins or on the backs of overdue rent bills. I loved looking at all sorts of materials as a possible canvas and feel now that these artifacts can exist as works in and of themselves. With the digitization of, well, everything, these handmade words exude an aura of an original, as one of our most original cultural critics so famously put it, that Times New Roman could never emulate.

Isaiah (6:1–3) records the prophet's vision of the Seraphim:
In the vision the seraphim cry continually to each other, "Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts: the whole earth is full of His glory" (vi.3). The "foundations of the thresholds" of the Temple were moved by the sound of their voices.
Although this is the sole occurrence of the word "seraphim" in the canonic Hebrew Bible, seraphim appear more than once in the Book of Enoch where they are designated as drakones (δράκονες "serpents"), and are mentioned, in conjunction with the cherubim, as the heavenly creatures standing nearest to the throne of God.
Seraph literally means "burning ones" in the Hebrew (Sarap, 'to burn'). A word of the same spelling is used of snakes (e.g. Isaiah 30v6), misleading some to think them serpent-guardians. The word 'seraphim' Isaiah uses has no definite article; it is a description not a title. Note also how their ministry to Isaiah involves 'burning'.
Seraphim occupy the fifth rank of ten ranks of angels in Maimonides' exposition of the Jewish angelic hierarchy.
Conservative Judaism retains the traditional belief in angels, including references in the liturgy, although a literal belief in angels is by no means universal among Conservative Jews.
Reform Judaism and Reconstructionist Judaism generally do not believe in angels, although they may retain references for metaphorical purposes.
In medieval Christian neo-Platonic theology, the Seraphim belong to the highest order, or angelic choir, of the hierarchy of angels. They are said to be the caretakers of God's throne, continuously singing Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh, i. e. "holy, holy, holy"—cf. "Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord of Hosts, the whole earth is full of His Glory" (Isaiah 6:3). This chanting is referred to as the Trisagion.
The Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite in his Celestial Hierarchy (vii), helped fix the fiery nature of seraphim in the medieval imagination. It is here that the Seraphim are described as being concerned with keeping Divinity in perfect order, and not limited to chanting the trisagion. Taking his cue from writings in the Rabbinic tradition, the author gave an etymology for the Seraphim as "those who kindle or make hot":
St. Thomas Aquinas in his Summa Theologiae offers a description of the nature of the Seraphim:
With the revival of neo-Platonism in the academy formed around Lorenzo de' Medici, the seraphim took on a mystic role in Pico della Mirandola's Oration on the Dignity of Man (1487), the epitome of Renaissance humanism. Pico took the fiery Seraphim—"they burn with the fire of charity"—as the highest models of human aspiration: "impatient of any second place, let us emulate dignity and glory. And, if we will it, we shall be inferior to them in nothing", the young Pico announced, in the first flush of optimistic confidence in the human capacity that is the coinage of the Renaissance. "In the light of intelligence, meditating upon the Creator in His work, and the work in its Creator, we shall be resplendent with the light of the Cherubim. If we burn with love for the Creator only, his consuming fire will quickly transform us into the flaming likeness of the Seraphim."
St. Bonaventure, a Franciscan theologian who was a contemporary of St. Thomas Aquinas, uses the six wings of the seraph as an important analogical construct in his mystical work The Journey of the Mind to God.
As they were developed in Christian theology, seraphim are beings of pure light and have direct communication with God. They resonate with the fire symbolically attached to both purification and love. The etymology of "seraphim" itself comes from the word saraph. Saraph in all its forms is used to connote a burning, fiery state. Seraphim, as classically depicted, can be identified by their having six wings radiating from the angel's face at the center.
"In the monarch Thought's dominion- It stood there!- Never seraph a pinion.- Over fabric half so fair!".
"Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, exhibit number one is what the seraphs, the misinformed, simple, noble-winged seraphs, envied. Look at this tangle of thorns"

>Loading MasterReboot.exe
Master Reboot comes to us from the offices of Wales Interactive, a studio whose previous offerings of fairly cute titles give no indication of the psychological and technological horror present within this mixture of F.E.A.R and Psychonauts. Cast as an initially unknown character, your goal is to explore a variety of self-contained scenarios that represent the digitised memories of a single person. These have been uploaded to a 'Soul Cloud', and they are all accessible through a digital location known as their 'Soul Village'. This hub-based approach means you can tackle sets of levels in any order you choose, although later memories remain locked until a set group have been cleared.
The upshot of this is that if a puzzle in one memory has you stumped for the time being, you can travel back to the Soul Village through a green portal located near the beginning of each memory and attempt to tackle another in the meantime. The memories themselves are fairly small and self-contained with the puzzles rarely being too obtuse, so it's unlikely that you'd need this feature but it's always nice to know it's there. The only times you can't access this feature are during the challenges at the end of each memory, although these tend to be more action-based than puzzle-solving, with a quick automatic restart if you fail.
Throughout each memory location you will accrue a collection of specific memories, such as photographs, pages from textbooks and other assorted paraphernalia. These assorted tidbits expand on the background of the player-character and the memories which they're traversing through. All of these are obtained by grabbing the small blue rubber ducks that are hidden throughout the locations you travel through. Some are fairly easy to spot, maybe tucked away under a bench, whilst others will keep you scratching your head. Once you've completed a memory, a portfolio of the items you've collected appears by the entrance, allowing you to tell whether there are any left to go back in and search for.
>Accessing Seren.exe
So far, so first-person adventure game. What makes Master Reboot stand out are its horror elements. The environments in and of themselves are creepy; deformed caricatures of locations such as schools, children's bedrooms and hospitals. The slightly cartoon-like visuals, accentuated in places with Tron-esque neon imagery belie the fright factor of wandering through them alone. At the same time you are the target of the game's primary antagonist, a silent young woman with blue glowing eyes who acts as the personification of the Soul Cloud's anti-virus program; Seren.exe.
The program is ever-present in every memory you enter, sometimes simply watching you from afar, other times popping up when you least expect it to try and terminate you. In the most fear-inducing couple of scenarios in the game she actively hunts you down. Even when you can't directly see her on screen, her distinctive digital crackling sound will be heard at random moments whilst playing, or you'll hear rapidly approaching footsteps only to turn around and find nothing there.
However, one fault of the game is that some of these scare tactics are repeated between different memories. Thankfully, these aren't too common, although by the end of the game you end up falling into a routine of second-guessing where she's likely to pop up from next. Despite this, the game still manages to keep you on edge throughout, as inevitably you'll guess wrong and end up jumping out of your chair.
Alas, one way the game will keep you edge is with a not-infrequent-enough tendency to crash to the desktop during loading screens. As the game only has an autosave function, this resulted twice in losing the progress I'd made in a memory because the game crasheding before the next autosave could be created. It's an issue that's been raised by other players online, and hopefully one that can be fixed in the near future.
Other technical issues included some graphical slowdown in a couple of areas, even on the high-end system I was playing on. The game supports gamepads in anticipation of a console release and a typical mouse and keyboard setup, although there's no ability to customise the controls outside of manually editing the game's .ini files, which is something many people will find inexcusable in 2013.
To get the last of the slights out of the way, the game's climax features an abundance of another unacceptable trait best left to the 90s; first-person platform-jumping. After traversing a fairly lengthy path over moving platforms, you reach the main challenge, for which you are then given a three-minute time limit. Attempting to complete multiple platforming tasks within the time-limit is a frustrating experience, and if you fail one of them more than twice, you may as well restart the level as you won't have enough time remaining. Restarting or failing the tasks means having to navigate the platform-jumping path leading back to the final area all over again.
>Do you wish to continue? (Y/N)
These issues shouldn't dissuade you from playing the game however. The crashes are being looked at by Wales Interactive, and the final area isn't impossible, you'll just find yourself with a little less hair on your head because you've pulled out in frustration.
In conclusion, Master Reboot is a great game that's made it on to my personal Best of The Year list, delivering on both the exploration and scare quota but marred by a few technical and gameplay issues that just stop it achieving full marks.
Master Reboot is available to purchase now for PC via Steam and Desura, and is listed as Coming Soon for Playstation 3, Wii U and Mac.

At the Indy 500 race last May, cars manufactured by Italy-based Dallara Engineering finished 1-2-3. Dallara recognized that CFD was essential to their aerodynamic design process and they chose FLUENT to be an integral part of it.
And in the competitive world of NASCAR racing, CFD has found a home in one of the best teams - Joe Gibbs Racing.
Team owner Joe Gibbs remarked, "To win at anything you have to surround yourself with the best. That is why we use FLUENT CFD software to visualize and analyze fluid flows such as air flowing over the vehicle or water flowing through the cylinder head. FLUENT is an integral part of keeping our race teams at their best."

The Cart3D solver's capabilities were extended to simulate the unique flight characteristics of the SAMs which make them difficult to simulate computationally. Scientists used the NASA Advanced Supercomputing facility at Ames Research Center to conduct the steady and unsteady simulations on both a 1024-processor and 512-processor SGI Origin 3000 system. More than 720 simulations were completed on meshes totaling almost 2.4 billion cells.
"Results from preliminary NAS studies presented to the DIA have been met with enthusiastic support," said Mike Aftosmis. The steady and unsteady results have shed new light on the flight characteristics of these missiles.
The ATV is used for delivering equipment and consumables to the ISS and for orbital re-boosting when the ISS has lost altitude due to atmospheric friction.
The Integrated Cargo Carrier (ICC) module, located at the front of the ATV, carries dry cargo which is placed in up to 8 racks mounted in the cylindrical portion of the ICC.
The ICC does not have an advanced enviromental control system, but does have a cabin fan designed to guarantee good ventilation and to ensure an adequate air distribution for crew comfort. Another primary goal of the fan is to avoid any stagnant flow regions in which toxic gases could accumulate and pose a suffocation threat to the astronauts. In addition, the air speed should be always lower than 0.25 m/s in the crew cabin, whereas the air temperature should be less than 28°C, but more than the minimum dew temperature of 16°C. Also, the 'touch temperatures' of surfaces exposed to the crew should not exceed 45°C.
Rather than build an expensive experimental apparatus to test the flow field in the ICC, ESA turned to CFDRC for CFD software which could be used to predict the flow field within the ICC.

During the initial stage of the investigation, researchers sought to determine the steady-state lift and drag coefficients for the hand and arm. The model for these simulations used k-epsilon turbulence modeling with non-equilibrium wall functions. Adaptive meshing was utilized to increase solution accuracy.

Liverpool striker Luis Suarez has reopened the racism row which dogged his - and the club's - season by describing his eight-match ban as strange and insisting his "conscience is clear".
The Uruguay international was banned after being found guilty of racially abusing Manchester United's Patrice Evra in a match at Anfield last October. Suarez insisted throughout he had done nothing wrong and has never publicly apologised to the Frenchman. And he still feels a sense of injustice now.
"The suspension, I suppose, you could call strange and unbelievable," the 25-year-old said in an interview with Russia Today. "There was not a single convincing proof that I had done any of the things they accused me of doing."
