Millikin University will welcome Grammy-nominated platinum recording artist Sara Bareilles for the annual University Center Board (UCB) Big Event on April 5 at 8 p.m. in the Kirkland Fine Arts Center.
Sara Bareilles gained mainstream success with her 2007 hit, "Love Song," which brought her into the number one spot on the Billboard Pop 100 chart. She has sold over 1 million records worldwide and has been nominated for three Grammy awards. Bareilles' second album, "Little Voice" was certified as platinum by Recording Industry Association of America in 2010.
Bareilles' most recent album, "Kaleidoscope Heart," was released Sept. 7, 2010 and debuted at #1 in the United States. It features the hit song, "King of Anything," which reached #1 on the Hot AC and AAA charts and VH1. For more information on Bareilles, visit www.sarabmusic.com
Bareilles will be joined by opening acts Elizabeth and the Catapult, a pop-rock trio from Brooklyn, N.Y. and Ximena Sarinana, a Grammy and Latino Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter from Guadalajara, Mexico. For more information, visit www.Elizabethandthecatapult.com and www.Ximenamusic.com.
The UCB is Millikin University's student-run programming board, comprised of 11 student executive board members and staff advisors with the responsibility to plan, promote, execute, and evaluate student events and activities. UCB plans a variety of annual events for students to enjoy, including Fall Family Weekend, the Pancake Breakfast, Millipalooza, and Springfest. In addition, the UCB brings a nationally recognized band to campus each spring to entertain the community. Millikin students voted for Sara Bareilles as their #1 choice to perform this year. Past artists have included OneRepublic, Gavin DeGraw, The Roots, O.A.R., Ben Folds, Jason Mraz, Train, 3 Doors Down, Sugar Ray, Vertical Horizon, and Sister Hazel.
In order to maintain appropriate decorum and an atmosphere that encourages respect, Kirkland Fine Arts Center asks patrons to honor the following requests:
• All bags are subject to search
• No photography, audio taping, or videography
• No alcohol, drugs, tobacco products, or smoking of any kind
• No re-admittance once inside the theater
Patrons who do not follow the above requests or those who display inappropriate or illegal behavior will be ejected from the facility.
Tickets for the event are $20 for the general public and may be purchased at the Kirkland Fine Arts Center Box Office, by phone at 217.424.6318 or online at www.kirklandfinearts.com. A $2.50 fee will be charged for credit card purchases. This is a per transaction fee, not per ticket, and applies to online and Box Office orders. Kirkland Box Office hours are Monday-Tuesday and Thursday-Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
So the presentation of "Holiday Jazz" at Kirkland Fine Arts Center this Saturday is a welcome opportunity for the faculty members to indulge in a little Christmas cheer.
"We had a great time last year," Widenhofer said. "It was a really relaxed show, even though it's in the big Kirkland theater. Our personalities as a group really seemed to suit that atmosphere. It was just one of those nights."
The show, in its third year, puts a jazzy twist on classic Christmas and holiday-season standards. Creative arrangements of songs such as Elvis Presley's "Blue Christmas" feature the talents of the entire sextet: Widenhofer (piano), Brian Justison (drums), Dave Burdick (guitar), Joel Kelsey (bass), Perry Rask (saxophone) and Randall Reyman (trumpet).
"Randy and Dave have really put together some creative, snazzy adaptations," Widenhofer said. "We did an album a long time ago called 'Cool Yule,' and we're using some of those tunes as well. Some of the songs are the classic holiday songs everybody knows, and some may not be quite so familiar."
The chemistry of the group makes Widenhofer wish they could perform together more often than four or five times a year.
"We all have great respect for each other as musicians and creative people," he said. "These shows give us a chance to collaborate together outside the classroom. We all really enjoy each other's company and wish it could last even longer."
For Millikin music students, "Holiday Jazz" is one of a number of opportunities throughout the year to see their professors in action, making music with each other. The faculty members find that such performances have the added benefit of increasing music appreciation in the student body.
"They get to see us in a different light than in the classroom setting or as administrators," Widenhofer said. "As music teachers, we can model what we teach by our ability to play ourselves. For students to see their teachers doing that is really excellent. They appreciate it as a teaching methodology."
The returning special guest from last year's "Holiday Jazz" is 2003 Millikin commercial music graduate Angel Spiccia, now a professional vocalist making appearances in a number of Chicago jazz clubs. Most of the faculty members of the Faculty Jazz Sextet are former teachers of Spiccia's.
"It's a thrill to come back and perform with them," she said. "I had so much fun in college. I'm still thankful for all the opportunities I had to perform with them back when they were my teachers."
Spiccia's performance last year included renditions of "I'll Be Home for Christmas" and "Santa Baby." In her eyes, the show seemed to fly by.
"We had so much fun, and it really put me in the spirit," she said. "We all enjoy taking some of the traditional Christmas songs and injecting some Latin or blues or jazz styles into them."
If it's anything like the experience of Julie Burchett's character, Jean, it would be far less trouble to just let that cell phone ring.
The play will premiere Wednesday at Pipe Dreams Theatre, with four additional performances through Dec. 11.
In the play, Jean's trouble starts when she grows annoyed with the constantly ringing cell phone of a fellow restaurant diner and stranger, Gordon, and discovers the reason for his inattentiveness is that he has at some point quietly passed away sitting at his table. On a whim, she answers his still-ringing phone and is sucked headfirst into the life of a man she never met.
"She has a moment to sit beside him by herself, and she sort of falls in love with him, or at least the idea of him," Burchett said. "He seems very kind, very genuine to her. She's kind of a quiet, introverted woman, but this play brings her out of her shell. It starts as a small snowball picking up the phone, but once it starts rolling, it can't be stopped."
Matt Walker plays Gordon, the unfortunate deceased around whom the play is built, and whose nebulous relationships with friends and family are explored by the increasingly involved Jean. As the play opens, Gordon's status is already in doubt - namely, whether or not he is alive.
"It's a little more elegant than him face down in his soup," Walker said. "He's just sitting peacefully at the table. People keep asking me if I have any lines in the play. There is a whole scene with me playing a dead man, but I do have other scenes as well."
One of these takes place in an unspecified place Walker thinks of as purgatory, from which Gordon is able to relate his feelings about Jean's involvement in his family and narrate the second act of the play. Walker describes his view of Jean as one of mostly bemusement, but he also questions her motives.
"He actually calls my character out on it, because he asks, 'Why are you doing all of these things?' " Burchett said. "He asks 'Who are you actually doing these things for, the family or yourself? Who are you really trying to help?' "
In Burchett's eyes, Jean is for the most part a benevolent, somewhat misguided woman who simply wishes to help the family and friends of Gordon cope with loss, despite the man having been a stranger. To do this, Jean assumes an invented relationship to the deceased Gordon that hovers in substance somewhere between confidante and former mistress.
"Jean likes to live through other people's memories, which is kind of strange, but she finds her happiness in helping other people she doesn't really know," Burchett said. "She helps them remember Gordon and find the goodness in every situation wherever she goes. She may not have experienced a lot in her own life, but she experiences a lot vicariously."
Moments of awkwardness abound in what is essentially a dark comedy with occasional surrealistic moments. Director Denise Myers said the final result is a story about "accepting the call to go on a journey."
"We're calling it a fantasy in a way; it's funny, and there are dramatic elements in it also," she said. "It's kind of fantastical, but there's also realistic moments."
This hodgepodge of influences should keep audiences on their toes, according to Brittany Falardeau, who play's Gordon's mistress.
"I think every scene that happens will have the audience saying 'I have no idea what will happen next,' " she said. "That's what makes this play exciting and fun, because it's all over the place."
"Mystifier" Mike Super asks a simple question - why limit oneself to only one branch of the "mystical arts" and a title as simple as "magician?"
"I don't like 'magician' because it conjures up a picture of an old guy in a tuxedo and a top hat," said Super, who brings his award-winning "magic show" to Millikin University's Kirkland Fine Arts Center Sunday. "Who wears a tuxedo anymore? So I say 'mystifier' because it better conveys all of the things I choose to do - magic, mentalism, illusions, escapes, etc.
"But most any other term is fine, honestly. They can call me a 'tada American,' if they want."
Super has been performing magic since age 6, when he first began shows for neighborhood children in the back yard of his home. He had already been touring the country and winning awards for years in 2007 when he accepted an invitation to join the cast of NBC's live magic competition "Phenomenon." Winning the show's national voting and the $250,000 prize vaulted Super's career in magic into the next level.
"I still get recognized by people on the street based on that show three years later," he said. "It changed a lot of things. I used to do my show and people were surprised by how high the production values were. Now, it's simply expected of me, and I have to work even harder to meet that expectation."
Of course, an inevitable question arises when it comes to the format of a television show based on performing acts of "mentalism," or influencing the minds of others. If a mentalist really was successful, couldn't he or she influence the judges and audiences critiquing a performance?
"Unfortunately, I'm not a hypnotist, so I can't just plant ideas to make someone vote for me," Super said. "I did always think it was kind of funny, though, that it was a show with a bunch of possible psychics who all thought they were going to be the winner."
Audience participation makes Super's performance "a magic show turned on its side and spilled into the audience." Be it levitating an audience member or divining private information, Super is obsessed with creating a show that is more than just a progression of tricks.
"My show breaks down the fourth wall that I've always hated in magic," he said. "I also like to have a reason for what I'm doing beyond simply the entertainment factor."
This reason is typically evoking specific emotional responses in the audience. Where some performers might craft tricks or illusions with a specific visual effect in mind, Super's drawing board starts specifically with which emotion it is he wants to generate. A story about his mother is the lead-in to one of his favorite illusions.
"One of my mom's favorite things was snow around Christmastime, and as a tribute to her I make it snow in the theatre in honor of my mom and everyone who supported me," Super said. "People will sometimes tear up and come talk to me after the show to say 'that was my dad' or 'that was my grandfather.' "
These fans of Super are collectively known as his "Superfreaks," and their numbers are undoubtedly part of the reason the mystifier was able to win "Phenomenon." Super maintains an email list of over 50,000 "Superfreaks" at any given time, calling them "my lifeblood." Known for his habit of connecting with fans at random, Super has found the Internet particularly useful for dropping in unexpectedly, and cites the Web as severely underutilized by the modern mystifier.
"Magic is always kind of behind the times, it seems," he said. "If I'm bored or traveling I'll just go on my Facebook page, log into chat, and start reading some minds over the Internet. Soon there will be a couple hundred people all clamoring to be next."
Super has saved the best trick, however, for last. Several months ago, the mystifier claims to have received a "strong impression" that he could predict Sunday's Herald & Review front-page headline. He sent his guess to the Kirkland Fine Arts Center, where it is currently being guarded under lock and key by Director Jan Traughber, who is ready to accept blame for any tampering. This is a trick that Super has performed on a small number of other occasions, when he feels particularly sure of his guess. And yet he resolutely denies that he is "psychic."
"I do not possess psychic power like a 900 number," he said. "It's based on automatic writing and what's on the news on CNN. This is completely legit. I've done it about 15 times and haven't been wrong yet, but there's a very real chance that I could be wrong anytime I do it."
Moreover, if Super fails to correctly guess the headline, he has claimed he will refund all advance ticket purchases. As for automatic writing, he claims it is "what comes out of your subconscious when you clear your mind."
"We sent the prediction to the theatre, and I have no idea where it is now," Super said. "I will never touch it again, even at the show. In some towns, it's been kept in a jail cell, or the mayor's office, or even hanging from the theatre marquee."
Audiences on Sunday will find out if Super can back up his boast, but those who doubt may want to purchase their tickets early.
One of the best shows I ever saw at Kirkland Fine Arts Center was one of its most sparsely attended.
On St. Patricks' Day 2004, Eileen Ivers – a past Ireland violin champion – headlined a show at the Millikin entertainment center. There were about 300 people in attendance.
They were the happiest people in town that night, I'm guessing. Instead of phoning in a performance, Ivers ripped it up. And even though the extent of my exposure to her prior to that night was a cursory listen of a CD her publicist had sent, I left the concert a fan.
We all get another chance next year.
Millikin has announced its Kirkland lineup for 2010-11. I'll have a story in Friday's paper, but Ivers returns next March. Single tickets won't go on sale until close to the end of the year, but keep an eye out. She's more than worth the cost of admission.

Expect the Unexpected…
It was Scottish poet Bobbie Burns who warned a little mouse (whose nest had been destroyed by a farmer's plough) that the "best laid schemes o' Mice an' Men" often go awry. That's where Steinbeck got it, and it also suggests the thread that runs through our 2010-2011 season of plays and musicals. In spite of all the planning that goes into the perfect wedding, the perfect family, or even the perfect suicide, stuff happens. Dark family secrets get unveiled, phones get answered by the wrong people, and some folks get "Pucked" by an annoying fairy in the woods. Whatever the plan, mouse or man, expect the unexpected!

Urine Good Company says "Pay to Pee!"
Monday, April 12, 2010
Under a new directive from the Urine Good Company (recently contracted by Millikin's Department of Theatre and Dance to extort revenue from its patrons), users must pay a fee to access all toilet facilities on campus. Effective April 28, 2010, Policy F-37982.3 states that those seeking urinary relief must use UGC's Public Amenity No. 9, the only available option for relieving themselves on campus. In a press conference held to announce the new policy, UGC spokesperson Penelope Pennywise cited "depleted water supplies and the need to conserve" as reasons for the policy, though she was overheard later singing "It's a privilege to pee!" through a microphone accidently left on after the announcement.
Beginning on April 28 all toilets on the Millikin University Campus will be equipped with a coin deposit mechanism and swipe card reader. Every user will be required to pay 25¢ to access the toilet stalls, or if they prefer to swipe, the fee will be charged to their MU account by the Urine Good Company. An appropriate percentage of the revenue (called "pee-ola" by an anonymous theatre professor) will be kicked back to the Department of Theatre and Dance.
Campus enforcement of Policy F-37982.3 will be conducted by two new officers hired by UGC, Mr. Lockstock and Mr. Barrel. Lockstock and Barrel will apprehend, fine, assault, kill, or issue citations to those who refuse to pay to pee as well as those caught peeing in places other than Amenity No. 9.
Certain members of the public, clearly outraged by the policy, have already begun to organize resistance activities. Community members Soupy Sue, Hot Blades Harry, and Tiny Tom, led by reluctant activist and community organizer Bobby Strong, have formed a coalition to protest the policy "with violence if necessary… and really mean songs."
Caldwell B. Cladwell, president and CEO of the Urine Good Company, will host a series of musical town hall meetings (sponsored by the Department of Theatre and Dance) on April 28th through May 1st at 7:30PM and on Sunday, May 2nd at 2:00PM. These will take place in Albert Taylor Theatre, where Cladwell and Pennywise have promised to field appropriate questions from the peeing public. Inappropriate questions will result in an all-expenses-paid trip to Urinetown, a mysterious place from which no traveler returns.
These meetings are open to all Millikin students, faculty and staff, as well as concerned citizens of the Decatur area. Seating is limited, so please contact the Kirkland Box Office at 217-424-6318 for tickets and further information.
If you think you cannot attend the meetings but would like to register a complaint about policy F-37982.3, please e-mail email@example.com Your comment or concern will receive a prompt and thoroughly unsatisfying response.

Tuscarawas News Detail
Personalized System of Instruction Interns Offer Custom Learning Experience and MentorshipPosted Feb. 7, 2013
Story by Caitlin Boozer
The School of Communication Studies welcomes its new PSI Student Interns for the Spring 2013 semester: Carmen Barbuto, Alisa Frye and Kyle Jones. The PSI (Personalized System of Instruction) Internship provides an opportunity for interns to assist with an Introduction to Human Communication (COMM 15000) course and provide personalized attention to these students' learning needs while developing their own skills in mentoring and leadership.
McKenzie Pittman, COMM 15000 instructor for the spring 2013 semester, has experienced the course on every level: first as a student, then as an intern and now as the instructor. "The PSI internship gave me the opportunity to interact on a personal level with students, facilitating their individual growth, as well as encouraging group communication. The opportunity was essential in helping to shape my own teaching philosophy. Now, as an instructor of the basic course, I have three PSI interns in a classroom. With a different perspective on the internship, our interns will be invaluable in the classroom," Pittman said.
Barbuto is a public communication major with a political science minor from Mount Vernon. She chose communication studies for its collegiate reputation, faculty, staff and the friendly environment in Taylor Hall. During her time as a PSI Intern, Barbuto is most looking forward "to getting to know the students in her group because she always valued having someone to look up to," and says it would be great if she could be that person for her students. Her plans after the internship include graduation and law school, with her primary interests being in sports/media law and criminal law.
Frye is an organizational communication major with a minor in advertising from Uniontown. She chose communication studies because she felt her enjoyment of public speaking meant the School would be a perfect fit for her. In the internship, Frye is most looking forward to seeing the classroom from a new perspective: as a mentor rather than a student. "I think this will be an experience in itself just being on the other side," Frye said. Frye's plans for the future include applying to graduate school, and she hopes to start in the spring.
Jones, a public communication major with a minor in interpersonal communication, is from Youngstown. He chose communication studies after reconsidering his initial decision to be a political science major. In the PSI Internship, Jones says that he "plans to serve as a peer mentor" to the students he will work with throughout the course. After graduation, Jones hopes to become a deputy registrar for the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles. This will bring together his desire to own a business and make use of his public relations skills. Jones also hopes to attend graduate school and obtain a master's degree in health communication.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Affirmative action in college admissions survived Supreme Court review on Monday in a consensus decision that avoided the difficult constitutional issues surrounding a challenge to the University of Texas admission plan.
Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote the court's 7-1 ruling that said a court should approve the use of race as a factor in admissions only after it concludes "that no workable race-neutral alternatives would produce the educational benefits of diversity."
But the decision did not question the underpinnings of affirmative action, which the high court last reaffirmed in 2003.
The justices said the federal appeals court in New Orleans did not apply the highest level of judicial scrutiny when it upheld the Texas plan, which uses race as one among many factors in admitting about a quarter of the university's incoming freshmen. The school gives the bulk of the slots to Texans who are admitted based on their high school class rank, without regard to race.
The high court ordered the appeals court to take another look at the case of Abigail Fisher, a white Texan who was not offered a spot at the university's flagship Austin campus in 2008. Fisher has since received her undergraduate degree from Louisiana State University.
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was the lone dissenter. "In my view, the courts below adhered to this court's pathmarking decisions, and there is no need for a second look," Ginsburg said in a dissent she read aloud.
Justice Clarence Thomas, alone on the court, said he would have overturned the high court's 2003 ruling, though he went along with Monday's outcome.
Justice Elena Kagan stayed out of the case, presumably because she had some contact with it at an earlier stage when she worked in the Justice Department.
Kennedy said that courts must determine that the use of race is necessary to achieve the educational benefits of diversity, the Supreme Court's standard for affirmative action in education since 1978. The high court most recently reaffirmed the constitutionality of affirmative action in Grutter v. Bollinger in 2003, a case involving the University of Michigan.
"As the Court said in Grutter, it remains at all times the university's obligation to demonstrate, and the judiciary's obligation to determine, that admissions processes 'ensure that each applicant is evaluated as an individual and not in a way that makes an applicant's race or ethnicity the defining feature of his or her application,'" Kennedy said.
University of Texas president Bill Powers said the university plans no immediate changes in its admissions policies as a result of Monday's ruling and will continue to defend them in the courts.
"We remain committed to assembling a student body at the University of Texas at Austin that provides the educational benefits of diversity on campus while respecting the rights of all students and acting within the constitutional framework established by the court," Powers said.
But Edward Blum, who helped engineer Fisher's challenge, said it is unlikely that the Texas plan and many other college plans can long survive. "The Supreme Court has established exceptionally high hurdles for the University of Texas and other universities and colleges to overcome if they intend to continue using race preferences in their admissions policies, said Blum, director of The Project on Fair Representation in Alexandria, Va.
Civil rights activist Al Sharpton said the court "ducked" the big issues in the case. While he would have preferred that the justices affirm the use of race in college admissions, "a duck is better than a no, but not as good as a yes," Sharpton said. Sharpton, along with Martin Luther King III, was leading a National Press Club news conference announcing initial plans to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the march on Washington.
Retired Justices Sandra Day O'Connor and John Paul Stevens, both members of the majority in the Grutter case, were in the courtroom Monday for the Texas decision.
The challenge to the Texas plan gained traction in part because the makeup of the court has changed since the last time the justices ruled on affirmative action in higher education in 2003. Then, O'Connor wrote the majority opinion that held that colleges and universities can use race in their quest for diverse student bodies.
O'Connor retired in 2006, and her replacement, Justice Samuel Alito, has shown himself to be more skeptical of considerations of race in education.
Texas automatically offers about three-quarters of its spots to high school graduates based on their class rank as part of what was called the "top 10 percent" plan under a 1990s state law signed by then-Gov. George W. Bush. Since then the admissions program has been changed so that now only the top 8 percent gain automatic admission.
Race is a factor in filling out the rest of the incoming class. More than 8 in 10 African-American and Latino students who enrolled at the flagship campus in Austin in 2011 were automatically admitted, according to university statistics.
In all, black and Hispanic students made up more than a quarter of the incoming freshmen class. White students constituted less than half the entering class when students with Asian backgrounds and other minorities were added in.
The university said the extra measure of diversity it gets from the slots outside automatic admission is crucial because too many of its classrooms have only token minority representation, at best. At the same time, Texas argued that race is one of many factors considered and that whether race played the key role in any applicant's case was impossible to tell.
The Obama administration, roughly half of the Fortune 100 companies and large numbers of public and private colleges that feared a broad ruling against affirmative action backed the Texas program. Among the benefits of affirmative action, the administration said, is that it creates a pipeline for a diverse officer corps that it called "essential to the military's operational readiness." In 2003, the court cited the importance of a similar message from military leaders.

Vestal Foundation
Siskiyou County Library Vestal Foundation
P.O. Box 117, Yreka, CA 96097
When the time is right for you to consider financial gifts to the library,
the Foundation is ready to assist you.
The Siskiyou County Library Vestal Foundation, formed in 1997, is a tax-exempt nonprofit corporation governed by a volunteer Board of Directors. Its purpose is to enhance library services, primarily through securing and using endowments. A donation to the Foundation constitutes a charitable gift for income tax purposes. It is not the purpose of the Foundation to replace traditional funding, nor is it meant to replace Friends groups and their contributions to their local libraries.
Ed Vestal, a former Montague resident, helped to establish the Foundation by leaving approximately $57,000 to Siskiyou County, to be given to a library foundation once it was established. The Foundation Board proudly honored Mr. Vestal's request to have the Foundation named after him. Income from this account is used for computers, furniture and books for the Yreka Library, as stipulated by Mr. Vestal.
- An endowment fund is a permanent investment account. As a result, the fund remains in existence indefinitely, creating a legacy for the future.
- Only the income earned is distributed, with a part of that held out to help the fund grow.
- Each branch library in Siskiyou County has an endowment fund with the Vestal Foundation. Anyone may contribute any amount to one of these funds for the benefit of that library.
- An endowment fund also exists for the County Library, to provide for needs of the entire library system.
- Expenditures from the funds are determined by the donor's wishes, by recommendations from Friends of Library groups, and by needs expressed by library staff.
- Outright gifts, instead of endowments, may also be made to the County Library or any of its branches through the Foundation.
Planned giving can be tailored to fit the intent of the donor:
- Unrestricted Funds: The Foundation is authorized to allocate gifts to any of the Siskiyou County Library branches.
- Field of Interest Funds: : Income from the fund is restricted to one or more fields of interest, such as the purchase of books, equipment or special projects. The Foundation then disperses the funds to the appropriate programs.
- Designated Funds: The fund is for a specific branch library. These are typical funds that can be established through the Foundation. There are many ways to establish endowments, and the wishes of the donor are the primary concern of the Foundation. Options for planned giving exist that provide estate tax advantages, give you an income during your lifetime, or provide benefits to the Foundation as well as your heirs. Your financial advisor can help you determine appropriate ways of giving.
In-Library Volunteer Work
There are many opportunities for people to work on volunteer tasks within the library. Some examples include: shelving, book repair, cleaning, shelf reading, etc. Please inquire with your local branch librarian to learn more about how you can help your public library.

"Of course (I'd like to fight him)," St-Pierre told MMAjunkie.com. "He's a good fighter, undefeated, and yes, if he comes, I'll fight him. No problem."
Askren hasn't been shy when it comes to his desire to fight St-Pierre, as he tends to call out or poke fun at the French-Canadian on social media whenever the opportunity presents itself.
St-Pierre, who next fights Johny Hendricks on Nov. 16 at UFC 167, hasn't been goaded into responding to Askren's antics, but that doesn't mean he's unaware of what's going on.
Askren is considered the top welterweight currently not signed to the UFC roster, and many fans are curious to see how the 29-year-old two-time NCAA Division I national wrestling champion would do against the division's kingpin and No. 1 ranked fighter.
Bellator Chairman and CEO Bjorn Rebney is so confident Askren would have his way with St-Pierre that he even said he would release the fighter from any contract matching rights if he were presented with an immediate title fight against "Rush."
The challenge was brushed off by White, and it seems likely that, should he sign with the promotion, Askren's quest to UFC gold will follow the same path as other contenders.
But in the event Askren does ink a deal with the UFC, St-Pierre is open to giving him a shot at the belt whether it's one, five or 10 fights down the line.
"Bring him in; I'll fight everyone," St-Pierre said. "I am the champion, and I have no choice, so it's no problem. I'm not afraid."

We've created a
Pivotal fork of the Ctags
bundle for TextMate
(the original).
Ctags provides a mechanism for indexing your source code
files for the purpose of locating and navigating between bits of code;
something IntelliJ/RubyMine is very good at, while TextMate is found lacking.
The forked bundle aims to be more inline with Pivotal practices, where
developers are often switching between IDE/editor worlds. For example, code
completion has been re-mapped to
ctrl-space, to be more like IntelliJ.
Have you played with Ctags? Take a look at the bundle; see what you think.

I picked up a Hotchkiss gravity wagon at the auction a few weeks ago. Got it pretty cheap I think, but I don't know anything about it. It is in excellent condition, made of wood (flare side) with rubber tires & steel running gear under it. I can pull it around by hand. It rolls real nice. No paint, but the original lettering is still visible.
I need to take some pics. maybe tomorrow.
I was wondering if anyone has ever heard of hotchkiss wagons. I think they are out of Bradford IL. I need to take another look.
Anyway - if anyone knows anything about these, or what they are worth, let me know.
I planned to use it as a wagon to pull the kids. I cut some boards that fit across the flare section for seats & I can put a huge pile of kids in it.

Tests and reviews for the lens Panasonic Leica Summilux DG 25mm F1.4
Measurements and specifications
Further readings for the Panasonic Leica Summilux DG 25mm F1.4
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
We've analyzed the image quality of 33 lens models, around 70% of the current range using the native MFT mount, on the new Olympus OM-D EM-10. Read on to find out which of those lenses perform best and which, if any, you should try and avoid when paired with the new camera.
We've had the opportunity to analyze the image quality of Panasonic's high-end 16-Mpix Lumix DMC-GX7 mirrorless camera with over 70% of the native mount lenses that are currently available (for it). We've scrutinized a total of 33 Panasonic, Olympus and Sigma made lenses to assess the imaging characteristics specifically with the new camera. Read on to find out which of those models you should be using, and which, if any, you should try and avoid.
We've had the opportunity to analyze the image quality of Panasonic's high-end 16-Mpix Lumix DMC-GX7 mirrorless camera with over 70% of the native mount lenses that are currently available (for it). We've scrutinized a total of 33 Panasonic, Olympus and Sigma made lenses to assess the imaging characteristics specifically with the new camera. Read on to find out which of those models you should be using, and which, if any, you should try and avoid.
The Olympus OM-D E-M1 is the new flagship model in the range and features a newly-designed pro-grade body and a modified 16-Mpix sensor incorporating on-chip phase-detection pixels for backwards compatibility with the firm's 4:3 lenses.
While we've not analyze the performance of those earlier lenses on the E-M1, we have assessed the image quality of 33 models (more than 70% of the current range) using the native MFT mount.
Read onto find out which of those lenses perform best when paired with the camera.
Panasonic LUMIX G 20mm f1.7 and 20mm f1.7 II ASPH lens reviews: Has Panasonic improved its classic standard prime?
Panasonic has refreshed one its most popular and best loved lenses in its line-up, the diminutive 20mm f1.7 ASPH. Although the new model has a revamped exterior finish, the firm says the optical construction is unchanged. Although we weren't able to include the original model in our recent lens recommendations for the Olympus PEN E-P5, we thought the introduction of this new model was timely enough for us to test the two lenses side-by-side. Read on to find out if anything has changed.
The depth of high quality primes and zooms for the PEN is, arguably, the most compelling reason to invest in the Micro Four Thirds system over rival mirrorless camera offerings. If you're already a PEN E-P5 owner or you're looking for advice or insights in lens performance in advance, this guide will aid you in making the right choice. Read onto find out which lens models in the range perform best optically.
As with previous guides, this review is intended to help you make the right choice when selecting lenses, in this instance, for the micro Four Thirds Olympus OMD E-M5 and the rival offering from Panasonic, the Lumix DMC-GH3. These two flagship models share not only the same mount, as partners of the Micro Four Thirds alliance, but in this particular instance, a similar 16Mpix MOS sensor as well. The prevalence of high quality primes (and let's not forget zooms) for those cameras makes it, arguably, the most attractive proposition of any of the mirrorless camera systems currently available. Read on to see which lens models are the best performing in the range.
While Samsung has a number of zooms in their mirrorless NX lens range, their primes consist of an intriguing amalgamation of compact 'pancake' types, ultra-high speed designs and special purpose models. We've assembled five models for testing and analyzed them using a 20Mpix Samsung NX20. Read on to see how well the combination of high-resolution APS-C sensor and innovative NX-mount primes perform.
ZEISS already have one prime lens in Sony's NEX line-up, albeit made under license for them, but at Photokina in September, the optics firm announced its intention to produce AF lenses in both Sony NEX and Fuji X mounts. The first of these lenses in the series, dubbed Touit by the maker, are an ultra-wide Distagon 2.8/12 (18mm equivalent) and a standard-type Planar 1.8/32 (50mm equivalent). Read on to see how well these two new lenses perform on the Sony NEX-7.
A battle rages in the hybrid camera sector between the Sony NEX Range with their APS-C sensors and the Micro Four-Thirds cameras. With interchangeable lenses for each the quality is not necessarily fixed when you buy your camera, you can upgrade the optics. In this first look at Sony E mount lenses, we are looking at their most recent additions, but we will look at others too, let us know which are most important to you.

dont like this lens
This lens is too wide for full body portrait and distortion makes it also not very good for head-shoulder, or full head or even face only portrait photography.
Added by mkln | February 25 , 2012
it's not
50 f/1.4 equivalent. it's not. it's probably more like 50 f/2.8 equivalent.
I wish I could use my canon 85/1.2 in a crop body and think of it as a 135/1.2 equivalent.

Re: it's not
Your comment makes no sense. An f1.4 lens is f1.4 regardless of crop factor, in terms of the brightness. It will have a depth of field like an f2.8 lens on full-frame.
Either way the same rule would apply to your 85mm f1.2. It'd be like a 170mm on micro 4/3, f1.2 brightness and depth of field like an f2.8
Olympus have announced a 75mm f1.8 for m43, coming later in the year. Will be much smaller than the Canon of course.

Hello again. I started another thread about a 20 year old Colt that I was going to buy, but that fell through.
The gun will be used primarily for coyote hunting. It will also be a shtf gun when I need it.
I want to be able to accurately shoot out to 200+ yards. I want an adjustable butt stock. Removable carrying handle or no handle at all.
There are so many different options out there it is a bit overwhelming.
Optics are another concern. I would like to think I have enough money budgeted for the gun and optic so please keep that in mind.
I have had every make and model suggested to me. It seems everyone has their own opinion. Some guys like certain brands while others would never consider buying that companies gun.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Jeremy Flint has a good tip:
If you are traveling somewhere, and need directions from an airport to a hotel, house, or anywhere, don't worry if you don't have the exact address of the airport.
Just take a look at your ticket, get the 3-letter call sign for the airport, then head to Google Maps. Enter the call sign into the search field, and it will center the map on the airport for you.
Here is his example.

Is co-opting pizza's good name okay? Yesterday's dessert pizza post got us musing about the meaning of pizza.

Or, in this case, "are any of these self-proclaimed pizza products at all like pizza?" More

According to Wikipedia, a Software Engineer is "an engineer who applies the principles of software engineering to the design, development, testing, and the evaluation of the software and systems that make computers or anything containing software…"
Software Engineers are everywhere and in about every company out there. They are in high demand and GoGrid is no exception. We want Software Engineers! What makes working at GoGrid exciting for a Software Engineer? I asked one of our Software Engineers, Suman, a few questions about what it's like to be a Software Engineer for GoGrid.
What do you do at GoGrid?
I work on cloud software solutions, which, in a nutshell, means turning infrastructure into code. It's a rapidly growing software development area with very interesting challenges. There is a long list of products with great customer interest. New use cases and requirements arise frequently that become new features or products. It's very exciting to work in a transforming environment like this.
As a Software Engineer, I am deeply involved in all aspects of my projects. I focus equally on design and architecture, development and testing. Given my experience with Linux and large scale infrastructure automation, I like to engage closely with Systems and Network Engineers to keep up with new technologies. This helps to develop elegant, feature-rich and high-performing solutions.
What does your typical day look like?
