Concern grows for those still snowbound
MORGANTOWN -- Black Hawk helicopters were sent up over mountainous rural areas of West Virginia on Friday to get a better sense of how many people remain cut off from the outside world by fallen trees, downed power lines and heavy snow from Superstorm Sandy.
About 20 percent of Barbour and Randolph counties in the north-central part of the state remained cut off, and officials said about 70 percent of the homes and businesses in those counties were still without power. They worried about elderly and ill people who have been isolated since Monday.
State officials have declared six deaths linked to the storm, including one in Barbour County.
The unofficial toll, however, is likely higher. Barbour County Sheriff John Hawkins said several of his residents have died from pre-existing illnesses or natural causes such as heart attacks while shoveling snow.
"Could it be from the stress of the storm?" Hawkins said. "It could be."
Randolph County emergency management director Jim Wise said no deaths in his county have yet been linked to the storm, but he was worried that would change as firefighters, National Guard teams and others push into remote areas.
"It's always a concern with the ones who are isolated," he said. "It's a very good likelihood ... but we just don't know until we can get to them."
Wise said he's had calls from across the country requesting welfare checks on friends and family, and first responders have gotten to every one of them. That work should become easier as the county and the state Division of Highways continue opening secondary roads, he said.
The West Virginia National Guard has activated 540 members across the state, including 18 liaison teams to emergency operations centers and 36 community-assessment teams, said Sgt. Anna-Marie Ward. Others are working on emergency power supplies, running heavy equipment, and dismantling and removing collapsed structures.
The 130th Airlift Wing in Charleston and the 167th Airlift Wing in Martinsburg are also receiving supplies from the Federal Emergency Management Agency and serving as staging centers.
Members of an Army and Air National Guard special operations unit flew a Black Hawk to remote mountaintop area near the tiny Preston County town of Cuzzart to aid snowbound residents there. One team checked the health of a 2-month-old boy and his mother and delivered four days' worth of food, water and baby formula.
"They were running out of baby formula. They had less than a can left," said Major Chris Brown.
That family elected to stay put, while a second team provided needed medicine to a 47-year-old neighbor and then helped that woman and a roommate reach National Guard Humvees to get off the mountain, Brown said. That team encountered scores of trees toppled by the storm, he said, while downed power lines were a concern in that area as well.
Preston County emergency management director Duane Hamilton said the guardsmen had been trying to reach the mother for several days by Humvee but couldn't get past the obstacles, so when the weather cleared Friday, they flew in.
"They've been in here ever since the storm and done some amazing things," Hamilton said, from delivering food, water, medicine and firewood to raking snow off roofs that residents feared might collapse.
Within the last 24 hours heavy snow collapsed a barn in Cransville, killing around 40 head of cattle, Craig Jennings, head of the Preston County Commission, said. No people were injured.
The Terra Alta gas station also was shut earlier this week after the canopy over the pumps collapsed due to snow. With the station's pumps snowed under, Terra Alta residents must travel about 10 miles to the closest filling station. Again, no one was injured in that incident.
About 95,000 homes and businesses across West Virginia remained without power Friday afternoon, down from 136,000 Thursday afternoon.
FirstEnergy's website said more than 64,000 customers were without electricity -- nearly 24,000 of them in Preston and Randolph counties alone. The other hardest-hit counties include Barbour, Nicholas, Webster and Upshur.
Appalachian Power, meanwhile, said the number of customers without power was down to fewer than 31,000.
At 8 p.m. Friday, AEP reported electricity out to 2,737 customers. That includes 1,829 customers in Lincoln County; 595 in Putnam County; 113 in Wayne County; and 200 in Cabell County. Full restoration was being reported in Mason County.
Restoration estimates vary, but Appalachian Power has said some customers might remain without power until Sunday night.
Meanwhile, Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin and U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin were touring the affected areas, from Preston to Wyoming counties, to make sure first responders were getting the support they need.
Hawkins said flooding is his next concern. Some small streams are already out of their banks and covering roads, and he's worried about melting snow around the Valley Head area raising river levels.
But overall, state officials and the National Weather Service say the threat of flooding is low, and the conditions are ideal for a slow melt-off of snow pack. Temperatures are warming up enough during the day to slowly melt the snow, but cooling off again at night.

Senior Scholar Samuel Beer Wins First Isaiah Berlin Award
The Woodrow Wilson Center's Samuel Beer received the first Isaiah Berlin Award of the Political Studies Association (PSA) of the United Kingdom. The prize, named after one of Britain's most distinguished political philosophers, was created in celebration of the PSA's 50th anniversary, to recognize those who have made lifetime contributions to political studies. The award was announced at the annual PSA conference dinner held in London on April 12 and will be presented at a dinner in Beer's honor on May 18. A preeminent authority on politics and government in both Britain and America, Beer is the author of many books, including Modern British Politics and To Make A Nation: The Rediscovery of American Federalism. He was the coeditor of and contributor to the Wilson Center Press 1998 volume Welfare Reform: A Race to the Bottom? (see below). The current focus of his work as a senior scholar of the Center is on the search for an American public philosophy adequate to meet the challenges of governance in the new century.
Samuel Beer is the Eaton Professor of the Science of Government, emeritus, at Harvard University. America's foremost scholar of British politics and sometime speechwriter (for FDR), he traces his interest in politics to a meeting with Warren Harding in 1921.
Educated at the University of Michigan, Oxford, and Harvard, where he received the Ph.D. in 1943, he taught in Harvard's Department of Government until his retirement in 1981. Over more than 30 years, his course on Western thought and institutions inspired thousands of Harvard students. Long active in U.S. politics, he was national chairman of Americans for Democratic Action from 1959 to 1962. A prolific writer, he is perhaps best known for his many books on Britain, especially Modern British Politics (1965), for which he received the American Political Science Association's Woodrow Wilson Award. He received the Harvard University Centennial Medal in 1990.
Upon retiring from Harvard, Beer was the first occupant of the Thomas P. O'Neill, Jr. Chair in American Politics at Boston College. He has honorary degrees from Drake, DePauw, and Sussex Universities; is a member of the Royal Historical Society; and has served as president of the American Political Science Association (APSA) and of the British Politics Group, whose annual award has been named the Samuel H. Beer Dissertation Prize.

Other findings from the report include:
• MA enrollees will see an average benefit cut of 3.07 percent, compared with 2014;
• MA enrollees will see an average benefit cut of 13.32 percent, compared with the Pre-ACA baseline;

(By Vallard Forsythe). Well, the Olympics came and went, and I must admit I was a little surprised to see that the issue of human rights, and specifically gay rights, just never seemed to get mentioned once, to my knowledge. So despite all the pre-Olympic blabber about a possible boycott of the Sochi games and the murmurs about the possible plans people had to make a statement in favor of gay rights, it appears as though polite decorum won out where I had anticipated some lively debate. Quiet cooperation with avoidance of conflict or friction seemed the behavior of the athletes and visitors, and even the media, that participated in Sochi.
As for me, I've found the attitude of the Russian Prime Minister to be creepy and downright disgusting for the past year. When he made his comments about gay people being "tolerated" during the winter games but added "but stay away from our children," I was stunned that there was no international backlash for such a clearly homophobic and ignorant statement.
So while the standard track season is over for the year, and the Olympic flame is out, our regional adult figure skating season, in which I participate, is still just heating up. So in choosing my music for this years "Dramatic" competition, this small town veterinarian decided to skate to something that would feel cathartic and help take away that nagging yucky feeling I've had lately.
This year I'm skating to "Stars," sung by Russel Crowe, from the film "Les Miserables," However, the theme in my skating routine is varied from the theme in the movie. In my routine, my character is skating as a renegade who will never give up until he finds the hateful dictator behind bars.
I debuted this program, and my own form of protest, at the Midwinter Warm Up competition in Artesia, California a few weeks ago. The judges were somewhat stunned to see a photo of Vladimir Putin on the front of my costume. The audience enjoyed the surprise ending of the routine, when I slide a rainbow flag out of my sleeve and go down on one knee. Take that, Vlad!
Unfortunately, my routine was six seconds over the allotted time limit, so I was essentially disqualified for a medal. However, with Pacific Coast Sectionals in Ontario on March 8 and U.S. Adult Nationals on April 10, there is still plenty of time to refine the program and see if I can wake a few people up.
After all, if anybody who showed up in Sochi had the wherewithal to point out the hatred and atrocities being leveled at gays in Russia, I suppose you have to leave it up to the grown-ups here at home to take a swing. And yes, I know that I need to sleep with one eye open after dawning this outfit and skating in public. But I just can't be less than I am, and hope to encourage others to skate with a message, too.
Dr. Vallard Forsythe is a Sonoma veterinarian and avid figure skater.

2013 Groups Conference Recap
I recently chatted with current MSW students, Brandon Haydon and Natalie Hock, who attended the 2013 International Association of Social Work with Groups conference (IASWG) in Boston this past June. The Groups conference is one of many opportunities to develop as an MSW student both professionally and academically, outside of your required curriculum and field placements. Brandon heard about the opportunity to participate in this year's conference through his SOWK 505 professor, Shirley Simon. From the first day of class, Professor Simon invited students to consider attending and presenting at the conference, and she hosted meetings for interested students to hear about the conference from those who'd participated in years past. As Brandon shared with me, "what you get out of participation in something like this conference is so much greater than the work you put into it."
The conference is a great opportunity to network with fellow MSW students and social work professionals, as well as to develop academically and professionally through presentations on your area of interest related to social work with groups. Students interested in presenting at the conference must apply to 1 of the 3 presentation options: posters (recommended for first-time attendees, as posters are the least research-intensive), papers, and workshops.
Over 20 Loyola students and staff attended this year's conference and presented on various aspects of the groupwork field. The trip gave attendees the chance to bond with each other in a new way, Brandon said – you get to see each other's work through presentations but also seeing them in a new social setting. "Now I have a group who I can call upon and have academic and professional experience with, as well as a new group of acquaintances and friends. These are things that will carry on past my degree."
Brandon teamed up with his classmate and friend, Natalie Hock, to co-present on groupwork as a culturally competent means with Native Americans, specifically through the use of talking circles. You can check out photos from the conference here.

Kentucky Football Bowl Teams
Overall Bowl Record: 8-7
1947 Great Lakes Bowl
Scoring Summary
UK - Blanda, 27 FG
Dec. 6, 1947 - The Kentucky Wildcats made their first appearance on the bowl scene in the 1947 Great Lakes Bowl and came away with a 24-14 victory over Villanova before a crowd of 14,908 at Cleveland Municipal Stadium.
Kentucky, in its second year under head coach Paul �Bear� Bryant, finished at 8-3 on the season with the victory.
Quarterback-placekicker George Blanda gave Kentucky an early 3-0 lead in the first quarter. Blanda connected on a 27-yard field goal to put the Cats up and it remained that way until halftime.
In the third quarter, UK�s Jim Howe scampered 29 yards for a score. Blanda added the PAT and Kentucky led 10-0 after three periods.
Bill Boller scored both Kentucky touchdowns in the fourth period, romping 15 yards on a handoff from Blanda and racing 49 yards to paydirt with an interception. Blanda added both PATs to round out the Kentucky scoring.
Villanova also added a pair of fourth-quarter touchdowns, but it was not enough as Kentucky captured its first bowl victory in school history.
1950 Orange Bowl
Scoring Summary
UK - Jamerson, 2 run (Brooks PAT)
Jan. 2, 1950 - Kentucky committed three turnovers and let a seven-point halftime lead slip away in dropping its first major bowl game, 21-13, to Santa Clara in the 1950 Orange Bowl before a crowd of 64,816.
The Wildcats, 9-3, scored their first touchdown early in the second quarter as a result of a Santa Clara turnover. UK�s John Netoskie recovered at fumble at the Wildcat 49 to set up Kentucky�s first score. The Wildcats drove 51 yards in 14 plays as Wilbur Jamerson hammered over from two yards. Bobby Brooks added the PAT to make it 7-0.
Kentucky wasted a golden scoring opportunity late in the second quarter when Babe Parilli found Bill Leskovar for a 45-yard completion to the SC 3 with time running out. Leskovar and runningmate Don Phelps each were stopped short on their respective rush attempts and the clock ran out before UK could score. The Wildcats led 7-0 at halftime.
UK coach Paul �Bear� Bryant said afterward he should have sent in a pass play just before the half. �If it failed,� he said, �the clock was killed then we could have tried a field goal.�
A short, 9-yard punt by Phelps set up Santa Clara�s first score in the third quarter. After taking over on the SC 46, Bronco quarterback John Pasco hit Larry Williams on a 25-yard pass. Santa Clara eventually scored on a one-yard sneak by Pasco to tie the game, 7-7.
Santa Clara scored again later in the third period, thanks in part to a pass interference call against Kentucky. Hall Haynes went over from 4 yards to make it 14-7 after three quarters.
Parilli led Kentucky right back, hitting Emery Clark on a 52-yard touchdown strike. Brooks, however, missed the tying PAT, breaking a personal streak of 18 straight, as Santa Clara led 14-13 with 12 minutes left in the contest.
Santa Clara managed to hold off the Cats and added an insurance score with less than a minute left, a 16-yard TD run by Buster Wraith.
1951 Sugar Bowl
Scoring Summary
UK - Jamerson, 22 pass from Parilli (Gain PAT)
Jan. 1, 1952 - Kentucky arrived on the national football scene and stunned national champion Oklahoma, 13-7, to capture the 1951 Sugar Bowl before 82,000 at New Orleans.
The Wildcats, 11-1, displayed a tough defense and opportunistic offense in snapping Oklahoma�s 31-game winning streak, the longest in the nation at that time. More than 13,000 Kentucky fans made the long trip to New Orleans to watch the Southeastern Conference champions pick up their school record 11th win.
Under the direction of coach Paul �Bear� Bryant, Kentucky continually confused the favored Sooners with different defensive looks. The Wildcats used three tackles much of the time, causing OU quarterback Claude Arnold to hasten his playmaking.
Inflicting the most damage on the Sooners was Walt Yowarsky, a tackle who had played less than five minutes on the defensive side of the football in 1950. Yowarsky operated at left end, next to Outland Trophy winner Bob Gain, and repeatedly sliced into the Sooner backfield to break up passes and to make Arnold hurry his hand-offs and laterals.
Yowarsky recovered a fumble on the OU 22 that set up UK�s first touchdown. On the very next play, Babe Parilli hit Wilbur Jamerson in the right corner of the end zone for the touchdown. Gain added the PAT to make it 7-0 in the first quarter.
Kentucky marched 81 yards in the second quarter to go up 13-0. Jamerson dove over from the one to cap the drive, but Gain missed wide on the PAT.
The Wildcat defense, ranked number two in the nation, showed Oklahoma why late in the third quarter. The Sooners drove 67 yards with the second-half kickoff, sitting at the UK 3 with a first-and-goal. Yowarsky helped UK turn back the Sooners, throwing an OU runner for a five-yard loss on third down and Oklahoma eventually turned the ball over on downs.
Yowarsky, voted the game�s MVP, thwarted another OU threat in the fourth quarter as he recovered a fumbled punt.
Oklahoma did score with seven minutes to play as Billy Vessels hit Merrill Green on a 17-yard pass for the touchdown. Jim Weatherall added the PAT.
The Wildcats managed to hold on to the football for all but one play the rest of the way to claim a stirring 13-7 win.
1952 Cotton Bowl
Scoring Summary
UK - Clark, 5 pass from Parilli (Jones PAT)
Jan. 1, 1952 - Quarterback Babe Parilli threw for two touchdowns to lead the Kentucky Wildcats to a 20-7 victory over the TCU Horned Frogs in the 1952 Cotton Bowl before a crowd of 75,349 at Dallas, Texas.
Parilli, who completed 8 of 20 passes for 85 yards, tossed both touchdown strikes to Emery Clark. With the victory, the Wildcats ended the season at 8-4.
Kentucky got on the scoreboard first, as Parilli found Clark for the first of two TDs. Parilli hit Clark with a five-yard toss to culminate a 53-yard scoring march. Harry Jones added the PAT and Kentucky led 7-0 after one quarter.
In the second period, UK got its second touchdown when Parilli and Clark hooked up again. This time, Parilli found Clark on a 13-yard TD strike to cap a 57-yard drive. Jones missed on the PAT attempt and UK settled for a 13-0 lead in the second period with a little over 10 minutes left.
The Wildcat defense made that 13-point lead stand up until halftime as the Horned Frogs drove four times deep into UK territory. Led by All-American guard Ray Correll, the Wildcats turned TCU away on drives to the UK 4, 24, 5 and 2-yard lines to take a 13-0 lead at intermission.
TCU�s Bobby Jack Floyd sliced the UK lead to 13-7 when he galloped 43 yards on a sweep. Floyd�s run capped an 80-yard scoring drive which took only four plays. Keith Flowers added the PAT with 1:12 left in the third period.
Kentucky ended any thoughts of a TCU comeback, thwarting the only two Horned Frog offensive drives in the fourth period and scoring an insurance touchdown as well. Ed Hamilton sealed the UK victory with a three-yard score off left tackle with 3:33 left. Jones added the PAT for the final 20-7 score.
1976 Peach Bowl
Scoring Summary
UK - Stewart, 1 run (Pierce PAT)
Dec. 31, 1976 - Kentucky tailback Rod Stewart scored three touchdowns to lead the Wildcats to a 21-0 blanking of North Carolina before a sellout crowd of 54,132 in the 1976 Peach Bowl at Atlanta, Ga.
The Wildcats, after a 25-year absence from the post-season bowl scene, returned in fine fashion as Kentucky completely smothered the Tar Heels. Kentucky outgained North Carolina 334-108 in total yards, limiting the Tar Heels to just five first downs and forcing five UNC turnovers.
After a scoreless first half, Kentucky went to work in the third period after UNC quarterback Matt Kupec fumbled at the Tar Heel 21. UK�s James Ramey recovered and the Wildcats were in business.
Seven plays later, Stewart busted over from the one for the touchdown. John Pierce added the PAT and Kentucky led 7-0 after three quarters.
Stewart sent the 37,000-plus Kentuckians, who had followed UK to the Peach Bowl, into a frenzy with his second touchdown early in the fourth quarter. The Wildcats marched 57 yards in 9 plays as Stewart capped the drive with a 13-yard gallop behind All-American tackle Warren Bryant. Pierce was good on the PAT and Kentucky led 14-0 with 13:01 left to play.
The Big Blue had to go only 47 yards for their final score. Kentucky faced a fourth-and-one from the UNC 3 with a little over three minutes remaining. Once again, Stewart (104 yards on 19 carries) got the call and he picked up both - the first down and the touchdown. Pierce was true on the PAT and UK had put the game away.
Stewart tied the Peach Bowl record for most touchdowns and scoring with the 3 TDs and 18 points. He was named the game�s MVP. The Most Valuable Defensive Player of the game was UK linebacker Mike Martin, who helped hold the Tarheels to just over 100 yards.
1983 Hall of Fame Bowl
Scoring Summary
WV - Woodside, 39 FG 3:54-1Q
Dec. 22, 1983 - Kentucky won much of the statistical battle but lost the war in dropping a tough 20-16 decision to the West Virginia Mountaineers in the 1983 Hall of Fame Bowl in Birmingham.
The Wildcats, in a bowl for the first time since 1976, outgained West Virginia 306-288 in total offense and held the edge in first downs 19-18 and passing yards 216-88. But 17 second-half points by West Virginia were too much for the Wildcats to overcome.
West Virginia scratched first as placekicker Paul Woodside connected on a 39-yard field goal late in the first quarter.
Kentucky countered with 10 points in the second stanza to take a 10-3 lead at halftime.
The Wildcats marched 54 yards in eight plays for their first score. Facing a third-and-three from the WV 26, Kentucky used some razzle-dazzle as Tony Mayes swept right, then threw-back to quarterback Randy Jenkins in the left corner of the endzone for the TD. John Hutcherson added the PAT and UK led 7-3 with 10:59 left in the second period.
Jenkins hit two big passes late in the second quarter to help set up a 32-yard field goal by Hutcherson. Jenkins connected with Joe Phillips for a 19-yard pass play and then hit George Adams for a 14-yarder as Hutcherson connected with 38 seconds left in the half.
WVU kicker Paul Woodside fooled everyone to begin the second half. Woodside tried an on-side kick to start the half and then recovered it to give the Mountaineers the football at the UK 48. Eight plays later, QB Jeff Hostetler found Rich Hollins for a 16-yard TD strike. Woodside added the PAT and it was 10-10 with 11:10 left in the third quarter.
West Virginia scored twice in a span of two minutes early in the fourth quarter to take a commanding 20-10 lead. Hostetler capped off a 10-play, 81-yard drive with a 2-yard scoring toss to Rob Bennett to make it 17-10 with 11:15 left to play.
Two plays later, West Virginia took over after an interception of a Jenkins pass at the UK 16. The interception set up a 23-yard field goal by Woodside as the Mountaineers went up 20-10 with 9:18 remaining.
Kentucky freshman quarterback Bill Ransdell led the Wildcats back, marching UK 92 yards in 11 plays following the kickoff. Ransdell hit Phillips for a 13-yard scoring toss to make it 20-16 with 5:50 left. Hutcherson missed the PAT.
The Wildcats got one more shot, but could get no further than the UK 37.
1984 Hall of Fame Bowl
Scoring Summary
UW - Gregoire, 40 FG 11:32-1Q
Dec. 29, 1984 - Kentucky�s Joey Worley booted a career-long 52-yard field goal with just under nine minutes remaining to give the Wildcats a thrilling 20-19 victory over the Wisconsin Badgers in the 1984 Hall of Fame Bowl in Birmingham.
Worley, a freshman, helped Kentucky overcome a nine-point deficit in the second half with his school and bowl record field goal.
Wisconsin jumped on top early, scoring twice in the first quarter. Todd Gregoire nailed a 40-yard field goal just under four minutes into the game and Michael Howard hit Thad McFadden with a 3-yard TD pass. Gregoire added the PAT and the Badgers led 10-0 with 5:34 left in the opening period.
Gregoire added another field goal, this one from 27 yards, to make it 13-0 with 7:05 left in the second period.
Kentucky got on the board after safety Paul Calhoun intercepted a Howard pass to give UK possession at the Badger 42. It took Kentucky just five plays to score as Marc Logan went over from nine yards. Worley added the PAT to cut the deficit to 13-7 with 1:29 left in the half.
Wisconsin was not through. The Badgers used four running plays, two passes and a costly 15-yard penalty to move the football to the UK 3 with two seconds left in the half. From there, Wisconsin decided on a Gregoire field goal (20-yarder) to take a 16-7 edge at halftime.
Kentucky narrowed the gap to 16-10 on a 22-yard field goal by Worley with 11:28 left in the third quarter. But Gregoire responded with a 40-yarder two minutes later to move the count back to nine, 19-10.
Behind UK quarterback Bill Ransdell, the Wildcats marched 82 yards in 11 plays later in the quarter to get within two, 19-17. Ransdell hit Logan on a screen pass to cover the final 27 yards and with the Worley PAT, UK was back in it with 26 seconds left in the third quarter.
The next time Kentucky got the ball, Ransdell moved the Cats into position for Worley�s 52-yarder. Starting from the UK 22, tailback Mark Higgs got the call four consecutive times, then it was Adams� turn the next four plays. Facing a fourth-and-two at the UW 34, Worley nailed the game-winner with 8:55 left.
Wisconsin came back and marched to the UK 8 with less than two minutes left. With the Badgers facing a fourth-and-six, Gregoire was called on for his fifth field goal attempt. This time, the snap from center was bobbled and UK had sealed the victory.

Dec. 31, 1999 - The Wildcats met the 24th-ranked Clemson Tigers in the 26th annual Peach Bowl and came within one minute of winning their sixth bowl in eight tries. But a Clemson TD in the closing seconds sent UK home with a 14-13 loss.
Kentucky took the opening kickoff and marched down the field to the Clemson two-yard line, where what appeared to be a QB Pookie Jones-to-WB Alfonzo Browning TD was instead a turnover when Browning fumbled the ball while attempting to extend it over the goal line.
Clemson took over on its own one and proceeded to march 99 yards for the game�s first score, a two-yard TD plunge by TB Emory Smith. The PAT gave the Tigers a 7-0 lead. Clemson ran the ball 15 times and attempted only three passes in the drive.
Kentucky was stopped again at the one-yard line before the Wildcats finally scored on Nicky Nickels� 34-yard FG in the second period, making the score Clemson 7, Kentucky 3.
UK captured the lead early in the fourth quarter when Jones hit WR Mark Chatmon with a five-yard TD pass, making it UK 10, Clemson 7. Nickels added another FG, this one from 26 yards, to extend UK�s lead to 13-7. But after Dan Ariza�s 55-yard punt pinned the Tigers inside their own 18-yard line, QB Patrick Sapp hit Smith with a 57-yard screen pass to move Clemson into scoring position. With less than a minute remaining, LB Marty Moore intercepted a Sapp pass, but fumbled it back, giving Clemson a second chance. The Tigers capitalized when Sapp hit WR Henry Smith with the game-winning 21-yard TD pass. Kentucky got the ball back with less than 20 seconds remaining, but could move no farther than its own 40.

1999 Outback Bowl
Scoring Summary
UK - Mickelsen, 36 pass from Couch
Jan. 1, 1999 - Playing on New Year�s Day for the first time in 47 years, the Kentucky Wildcats jumped out to an early lead, but the Penn State Nittany Lions rallied for a 26-14 victory in the Outback Bowl in Tampa, Fla.
Although the game was played in Tampa, the Wildcats certainly felt at home. Heavy ticket demand gave the Outback Bowl its first sellout ever, as more than 40,000 UK fans were packed among the 66,005 patrons in Raymond James Stadium.
Kentucky got on the board first with 7:36 remaining in the first quarter. At the PSU 36-yard line, under heavy pressure, quarterback Tim Couch lofted a rainbow into the end zone that wide receiver Lance Mickelsen caught for a touchdown.
Later in the opening period, UK stretched the lead to 14-3 with a 64-yard drive, capped by a 16-yard TD pass from Couch to halfback Anthony White. Key plays on the drive included a 22-yard pass from Couch to wide receiver Kevin Coleman and a 30-yard aerial to Mickelsen.
From the second quarter, however, Penn State chipped away. Quarterback Kevin Thompson hit flanker Joe Nastasi with a 56-yard touchdown bomb. A second field goal from Travis Forney narrowed the UK advantage to 14-13 at halftime.
The Nittany Lions took the lead for good in the third quarter on two more field goals by Forney, giving him four on the day. Penn State put the game away in the fourth quarter with a 19-yard end-around TD run by Chafie Fields.
Meanwhile, the PSU defense shut out the Wildcats the last three quarters. Kentucky continued to move the ball, but three scoring opportunities came up empty - one on an interception, one on a missed field goal, and the other when the Wildcats were held on downs.
Kentucky actually outgained Penn State, 441 yards to 420. UK might have done even better, but the Wildcats offensive line was missing three senior starters, all of whom were replaced by freshmen.
Couch paced the attack by completing 30 of 48 passes for 336 yards and two TDs, completing his streak of at least 300 passing yards and at least one TD pass in every game this season. Running backs Anthony White and Derek Homer caught seven balls each. White totaled 101 yards on the day, with eight rushes for 61 yards and seven receptions for 40 yards.

1999 HomePoint.com Music City Bowl
Scoring Summary
UK � Shanklin 3 run (Samuel kick)�11:58 1st Qtr
Dec. 29, 1999 - Playing in back-to-back bowl games for the first time since 1983-84, the Kentucky Wildcats went down to the wire before falling to Syracuse, 20-13, in the HomePoint.com Music City Bowl in Nashville. Kentucky played before a heavily partisan crowd, as almost all of the 59,221 fans were pulling for the Wildcats.
Kentucky blazed to a 10-0 lead in the first quarter. The Wildcats took the opening kickoff and maneuvered 79 yards for a touchdown. Tight end James Whalen set up the TD with a 45-yard reception and Kendrick Shanklin ran it in from the three-yard line.
The Wildcats held on defense, forcing a punt. Quarterback Dusty Bonner again drove the Wildcats inside the 10-yard line before settling for a 22-yard field goal by Marc Samuel. Whalen, however, was injured during the series and was lost for the remainder of the game. Already having caught four passes for 79 yards midway through the first quarter, his presence was sorely missed.
The Kentucky defense continued to stop Syracuse, including two fumble recoveries and a blocked field goal, but the Orangemen got on the board late in the second quarter. The Wildcats led at halftime, 10-7.
A scoreless third quarter led to a dramatic final stanza. Samuel extended the UK lead to 13-7 with a 35-yard field goal. Syracuse countered with two scoring runs by James Mungro, taking a 20-13 lead.
Kentucky got its last chance by taking over on its own four-yard line with only 1:35 remaining and no timeouts. Bonner did a great job of moving the team to the Syracuse 41-yard line, but ran out of time, and a desperation heave on the game�s final play fell incomplete.
Bonner led the UK attack by completing 30 of 43 passes for 308 yards and he also ran for 16 yards. In his final game as a Wildcat, running back Anthony White caught eight passes for 85 yards � both figures setting UK bowl records.
Linebacker Ryan Murphy led the defense in tackles with a career-high 15 stops. Linebacker Marlon McCree had an outstanding game. He tied his career high for tackles with 10, including two tackles for loss and a quarterback sack, caused two fumbles, and recovered a fumble. Defensive tackle George Massey (nine) and free safety Anthony Wajda (eight) each tied his career high for tackles.
The Wildcats blocked two field goals, one each by defensive end Dennis Johnson and another by linebacker Jamal White.

2006 Gaylord Hotels Music City Bowl
Scoring Summary
1st 11:04 UK - Micah Johnson 1 yd run (Lones Seiber kick)
Dec. 29, 2006 - Nashville, Tenn. - Andre Woodson conjured up memories of Tim Couch and made Kentucky a bowl winner for the first time in 22 years.
Woodson threw for three touchdowns and 299 yards as the Wildcats surprised Clemson 28-20 in the Music City Bowl on Friday.
The junior completed 20 of 28 passes to finish his breakout season with 31 touchdowns - more than five times his total from last year. He joins Couch, the former No. 1 NFL draft pick, as the only Wildcats to top the 30-touchdown mark in a season.
Behind Woodson, the game's Most Valuable Player, the Wildcats (8-5) racked up their highest point total in bowl history. They won their sixth bowl game overall and first since beating Wisconsin in the 1984 Hall of Fame Bowl.
Kentucky made its first bowl appearance since 1999 in front of a huge contingency of Wildcats fans, many of whom made the 200-mile trip from Lexington.
Clemson (8-5) took the loss in its 18th bowl game since 1985. The Tigers hadn't ended their season in defeat in three years. Despite beating Wake Forest and Georgia Tech, the teams that played for the Atlantic Coast Conference title, Clemson went into a tailspin down the stretch, losing four of five.
While Kentucky's offensive fireworks weren't completely unexpected, a defense that came into the game ranked second-to-last nationally made the difference. The Wildcats held a 4-2 turnover advantage and limited Clemson to just six points until the final seven minutes when Kentucky used a prevent defense.
A large early deficit forced the Tigers, one of the country's best rushing teams, into passing situations. Running backs James Davis and C.J. Spiller combined for just 77 yards, and Spiller fell short of the 86 he needed to make the tandem the first in school history with 1,000 rushing yards each.
After four straight second-quarter drives ended with turnovers - two for each team - Kentucky coach Rich Brooks sought a spark with a little razzle-dazzle.
Rather than punt from deep in Kentucky territory, punter Tim Masthay threw for the first down.
Woodson then lofted a deep pass over the Clemson secondary and found DeMoreao Ford streaking down the field for a 70-yard touchdown - the longest allowed all season by the nation's 12th-ranked defense.
Just over a minute later, Woodson threw a 51-yard pass to Steve Johnson but Lones Seiber missed a field goal to keep Kentucky's lead at 14-6 at halftime.
The Wildcats made it 21-6 early in the second half after a Clemson fumble. Woodson found Dicky Lyons Jr. on a sideline pattern for the 24-yard score and then put the game out of reach with a touchdown pass to Jacob Tamme.
Clemson cut the deficit to eight points with 44 seconds left when Proctor threw a 12-yard touchdown pass to Aaron Kelly and added a two-point conversion. But, Kentucky recovered the onside kick and ran out the clock.
The Wildcats drove into Clemson territory on their first drive before Gaines Adams stormed through the line to strip the ball from Woodson. It was one of two sacks on the afternoon for the All-American, giving him 28 in his career to tie Michael Dean Perry for first on the Tigers' all-time list.
Phillip Merling picked up the loose ball and seemed to give the Tigers prime field position, but a replay showed Woodson's knee was down before the ball came out.
Kentucky took advantage of the second chance and freshman linebacker Micah Johnson, the state's top high school football player last year, scored his first touchdown from a yard out.
Proctor threw for three touchdowns and 272 yards, but Jad Dean missed two first quarter field goal attempts and an extra point after Durrell Barry's 32-yard TD reception made it 7-6 Kentucky.

Scoring Summary
1st 10:39 UK - Jacob Tamme 14 yd pass from Andre' Woodson (Lones Seiber
Dec. 31, 2007 - Nashville, Tenn. - Andre Woodson threw four TD passes against a depleted Florida State defense and Kentucky won its second straight Music City Bowl, beating the Seminoles 35-28 on Monday for Bobby Bowden's first bowl loss in December.
Kentucky hadn't ended back-to-back seasons with bowl wins since 1951-52 under Bear Bryant, but the Wildcats pulled off the feat in Nashville one year after surprising Clemson, coached by Bowden's son, Tommy.
As for the elder Bowden, who has led the Seminoles to 26 straight bowls and two national titles, his December bowl record finally has its first blemish at 7-1-1. Bowden is major college football's winningest coach with 373 victories -- one ahead of Penn State's Joe Paterno.
Florida State was playing three dozen players short due to injuries and suspensions stemming from an academic cheating scandal.
Woodson capitalized on the missing depth and finished the season with 40 touchdown passes, breaking Tim Couch's school-record 37 set in 1998. It was the 19th consecutive game with at least 200 passing yards and a scoring pass for Woodson, a senior who figures to be among the first quarterbacks taken in the NFL draft.
The Wildcats took the lead for good midway through the third quarter on Woodson's 2-yard slant to Rafael Little, who ran for a season-high 152 yards on 28 carries. It was the 13th 100-yard rushing game for the senior running back, tying him for second on Kentucky's career list.
Antone Smith had a career-high 156 rushing yards for the Seminoles.
Florida State quarterback Drew Weatherford pulled the Seminoles to 28-21 with 8 minutes left on a 1-yard bootleg run -- his first career game with two rushing TDs. Weatherford completed 22 of 48 passes for a TD and two interceptions.
Woodson immediately answered, dumping off a short pass that Steve Johnson took for 38 yards for his second TD reception. Johnson led all receivers with 126 yards.
Weatherford would add a TD pass to Greg Carr with just over 2 minutes remaining, and Florida State got the ball back at the 1-minute mark behind by one score.
Linebacker Micah Johnson appeared to come up with a game-icing interception, but a fumble gave the Seminoles another chance. Weatherford's last-second pass fell incomplete in the end zone.
Kentucky improved to 4-1-1 against the Seminoles in their first matchup since 1965. It was the first meeting ever between Bowden and Brooks, friends for nearly three decades.
The score was 14-all after a first half in which Bowden and others on the Florida State sideline gave the officials an earful after two close calls.
The Seminoles disputed an offensive pass interference call on Carr that negated a touchdown. Gary Cismesia wound up missing a field goal -- he didn't make any in the game and finished the season with 27, tied with Sebastian Janikowski for the Atlantic Coast Conference record.
Florida State got the ball right back after Carr's mistake, recovering a second fumble by Little. Kentucky ended that possession with a goal-line stand, but the Seminoles' Tony Carter picked off Woodson's next pass and returned it 24 yards to tie the game.
Kentucky appeared to pull ahead at the end of the half on a field goal by Lones Seiber, but Florida State was called for personal foul on the play. Brooks decided to try for the TD rather than keep the points, and Seiber eventually missed from 39 yards.
Kentucky scored first, taking advantage of a blocked punt. Woodson soon connected with a wide-open Jacob Tamme from 14 yards out.
The next time Kentucky had the ball, Little fumbled just short of the goal line. Carter grabbed the loose ball and ran 51 yards, stopped only after colliding with teammate Andre Fluellen.
Weatherford, not known for dashing speed, scampered 27 yards on Florida State's first play of the next drive and later ran it in from 6 yards out to make it 7-all.

Jan. 2, 2009 - Memphis, Tenn. (AP) - Ventrell Jenkins barreled his 285-pound frame 56 yards with the ball in his arm, but it would take some improvisation to reach the end zone and help Kentucky achieve history.
"I saw the quarterback coming and I knew I had to outrun him," the Wildcats' defensive end said. "I did two moves in one - a stiff arm and a high step, and the next thing I know, I was lying in the end zone with my team on top of me."
Who can blame them? This wasn't your garden-variety, go-ahead fumble return by a lineman.
No, this one gave Kentucky a 25-19 win over East Carolina in the Liberty Bowl on Friday, and gave the Wildcats a third straight postseason victory - a distinction not even Bear Bryant's teams were able to achieve decades earlier.
"I know it wasn't the Sugar Bowl or the Cotton Bowl like Bear Bryant, but it is significant," Kentucky coach Rich Brooks said. "I'm very proud of these young men, the whole group of seniors. They accomplished something historic."
Jenkins was an unpredictable MVP after two straight Music City Bowl wins in which Kentucky's former record-setting quarterback Andre Woodson led the way.
Kentucky (7-6) never led in this one until the fourth quarter, when fellow lineman Myron Pryor , who had his own 72-yard fumble return TD earlier this year, forced a fumble with about 3 minutes left. In the scramble for the loose ball, Jenkins came up with it and rumbled down the right sideline untouched.
Lones Seiber's extra point attempt was blocked - the third blocked extra point of the game and second off Seiber's foot.
That gave East Carolina (9-5) plenty of time to drive for the win, but the ensuing kickoff was downed at the 1. The Pirates wound up punting four plays later, and Kentucky picked up a first down before running out the clock.
"I told our guys, 'We only need seven points,"' East Carolina coach Skip Holtz said. "I thought we'd find a way, but Kentucky did a nice job."
Coming off its first Conference USA championship, East Carolina jumped to a 16-3 halftime lead before failing in its attempt to win a third game this season against a team from a BCS conference. It had already defeated West Virginia and ACC champion Virginia Tech.
Moments before Jenkins' heroics, it appeared Kentucky might get the go-ahead score with another fumble return - albeit not nearly as long - by linebacker Micah Johnson . However, instant replay determined East Carolina quarterback Patrick Pinkney was sacked on the play by Memphis native Jeremy Jarmon , so the Pirates retained possession.
Even before that, the Wildcats' defense missed another chance at a game-breaking play in the fourth quarter when Sam Maxwell's interception deep in East Carolina territory was negated by a holding penalty on teammate Winston Guy.
Although Kentucky's defensive stars were outplayed in the first half, they saved their best for when it counted.
"We only won three games my first year," said senior defensive captain Braxton Kelley . "It means a lot to me to know we rose from the bottom to the top."
Bryant, who took his Alabama teams to four Liberty Bowls - including the inaugural game 50 years ago and the final game of his career in 1982 - was the only other Wildcats coach to lead the program to three straight bowl games. Unlike Brooks, Bryant only won two of them.
Kentucky saved virtually all its magic for the second half, in every aspect of the game, and it started when David Jones took the opening kickoff for a Liberty Bowl-record 99-yard TD.
"After I scored that touchdown, it was like everything swung our way and came into place," Jones said. "It put a big spark in the whole team and got us going."
Minutes later, quarterback Mike Hartline , starting for injured freshman Randall Cobb , gave Kentucky its lone offensive TD when he hit Kyrus Lanxter on a crossing pattern for a 19-yard touchdown that tied the game 16-all midway through the third quarter.
Hartline completed 19 of 31 passes for 204 yards and one interception. Brooks said he had been sick with the flu and praised his performance.
Pinkney finished 18-of-36 for 297 yards for East Carolina, most of it going to Davon Drew and Darryl Freeney. Drew caught five passes for 120 yards, and Freeney had five catches for 112 yards and a touchdown.
"I felt like we came out and competed, but we were unable to get the job done," Drew said.
Trevard Lindley , elected the Wildcats' team MVP, hyperextended his elbow while deflecting a pass in the end zone. The cornerback, who is considering leaving college a year early for the NFL, said afterward that he hadn't yet made a decision but doubted the injury would affect it.
While acknowledging his team's postseason accomplishment, Brooks, who has helped turn around the longtime Southeastern Conference bottom-feeder, said he has loftier goals for the future.
"We still aren't where we want to be," Brooks said. "Seven-and-six is not what we want to accomplish, but the last 30 minutes was about as beautiful of football that I have ever seen."

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - C.J. Spiller scored a touchdown and had 172 all-purpose yards in his final college game, leading Clemson to a 21-13 victory Sunday night in the Music City Bowl.
The Tigers (9-5) hadn't won a bowl since the 2005 Champs Sports Bowl.
Kentucky (7-6) was trying to make program history by winning a fourth straight bowl game. The Wildcats certainly had the home-field advantage with blue filling nearly two-thirds of the lower bowl at LP Field.
Spiller, the Atlantic Coast Conference player of the year, scored his 51st career touchdown - a Clemson record - on an 8-yard run with 10:14 left in the fourth quarter to make it 21-13.
Spiller scored three plays after Clemson linebacker Kavell Conner stripped Gene McCaskill after a short catch and Jarvis Jenkins recovered the ball at the Kentucky 19 for the game's only turnover.
Kentucky tried to answer.
Punter Ryan Tydlacka ran for 9 yards on fourth-and-3, then coach Rich Brooks used his last time-out with 5:38 left before going for it again on fourth-and-8 at the Clemson 32. The Cats couldn't convert. Freshman quarterback Morgan Newton scrambled only to be tackled by Ricky Sapp a yard short.
Spiller helped the Tigers run out the clock and start the celebration. He finished with 68 yards on 15 carries and 57 yards on three catches to earn game MVP honors.
But the Wildcats did a decent job of slowing down one of the country's most dynamic players. He became the first ACC player to rush for at least 1,000 yards and have at least 500 yards receiving in the same history at the end of the third quarter when he took a shovel pass 3 yards.
He didn't return a kick longer than 30 yards. Kentucky kicker Lones Seiber perfectly placed one kickoff into the right edge of the end zone near the pylon for a touchback, and Spiller caught another near the same spot for another touchback.
Kentucky held onto the ball for more than 34 minutes and ran 22 more plays. Clemson still outgained the Wildcats 321-277 and the Tigers held on to the ball for the final 5:27.
Winds gusting to 22 mph affected both teams on a cold night.
Richard Jackson's 44-yard field goal for Clemson into the wind came up just short with 4:32 left in the third. Kentucky called a timeout with 2 seconds left in the third, and Dawson Zimmerman's punt went just 24 yards before bouncing back for the Wildcats.
The Tigers forced Kentucky three-and-out, and Tydlacka had to deal with that wind himself. His punt went only 14 yards.
Clemson led 14-10 at halftime as Kyle Parker found Jacoby Ford all alone in the end zone for a 32-yard TD pass to cap a four-play, 90-yard drive Spiller jumpstarted with a 42-yard catch-and-run.
Seiber put Kentucky up 10-7 in the second with a 39-yard field goal, then Spiller had a 30-yard kickoff return. Tailback Jamie Harper handled all the work on a five-play drive as he picked up 60 yards and capped it with a 1-yard plunge to put the Tigers ahead 14-10 in the second quarter.
The Wildcats' only TD came on their opening drive when Newton found Chris Matthews in the end zone for a 17-yard TD pass and a 7-0 lead.

A new study of the Arctic's vast Mackenzie River Delta has discovered that an unexpected aspect of climate change is having a very big effect, according to Lance Lesack, a professor in both the Department of Geography and Department of Biological Sciences at Simon Fraser University in British Columbia.
While the study was looking at a specific phenomenon regarding an earlier break-up of ice jams in the Mackenzie delta, the discovery may help to explain why Arctic sea ice is melting so fast.
Professor Lesack is the lead author on a report called "Local spring warming drives earlier river-ice breakup in a large Arctic delta," along with co-authors from Wilfrid Laurier University in Ontario, the University of Alberta, and Memorial University in Newfoundland
The vast Mackenzie delta at the end of Canada's longest river covers some 5,000 square miles and extends some 125 miles inland. When spring arrives, the ice along this huge river and tributaries begins to break up, flow downstream and eventually jams in the delta. In turn the resultant flooding helps to replenish tens of thousands of lakes, ponds and wetlands in the region.
Explanation sought for earlier ice breakups
The jams historically occur at almost the exact same time each year, and eventually break up at almost the same time. However in recent years, while the jamming is still relatively consistent, the ice is breaking up and clearing the delta much sooner than before.
The hypothesis was that it was simply warmer, and/or that due to warming there was more precipitation creating greater flow -- or pressure in the river -- to break up the jams.
Normally with global warming there is more moisture in the air, and more precipitation which increases flow in rivers. This is the case for Russian Arctic rivers, but the researchers somewhat to their surprise, found that flows in the Mackenzie seemed to be stable.
In studying this further, the researchers found something different.
It was certainly warmer than in the past, over 5 degrees Celsius (9 degrees Fahrenheit) warmer on average during the winter, but that didn't seem to have any great effect on ice breakup.
They also found a little over 3 degrees C (5.4 degrees F) average warmer temperatures in spring, but that this did not, by itself, explain the rapid melting.
Lessening snow depth plays an important role in ice melt
After further study they found what seemed to be the key. They discovered that in recent years there was less snow cover by spring.
This allowed solar more solar radiation through to the ice, and along with the slightly warmer spring air, resulted in the ice jams melting and breaking up faster, and clearing out, within just 27 days instead of the historically typical 35 days.
Professor Lesack says this is the first field-based study to uncover an important effect of reduced winter snowfall and warmer springs in the Arctic -- earlier-than-expected, climate-change-related ice breakup.
"The polar regions have a disproportionate effect on planetary reflectivity because so much of these regions consist of ice and snow," says Lesack. "Most of the planetary sea ice is in the Arctic and the Arctic landmass is also seasonally covered by extensive snow. If such ice and snow change significantly, this will affect the global climate system and would be something to worry about."

Ravage of the Planet 2011
3rd International Conference on Management of Natural Resources, Sustainable Development and Ecological Hazards
13 - 15 December 2011
The 3rd International Conference on Management of Natural Resources, Sustainable Development and Ecological Hazards – or Ravage of the Planet – has recently taken place in Selangor, Malaysia at the University of Teknologi Mara.
Opening Addresses
The conference was opened by Professor Carlos Brebbia who pointed out the importance of these meetings for the aims of his Wessex Institute of Technology (WIT), which sees itself as a focus for the dissemination of knowledge. The emphasis of WIT's work, Professor Brebbia explained, is on interdisciplinary research, bringing colleagues from different fields together. The Institute works in a series of joint projects including those supported by the European Union and other international organisations. It also carries out advanced consulting and research for industry, with particular reference to aerospace and energy. Collaboration with industry is one of the most important objectives of WIT and has led to the dissemination of advanced research in computational modelling, an area in which WIT has carried out pioneering work.
Invited PresentationsThere were a series of invited presentations during the conference as follows:
'Ecosystem services approach for water framework directive implementation'
by M. C. Cunha, University of Coimbra, Portugal
'Zero food miles super-circuit'
by S. S. Zubir, University of Teknologi Mara, Malaysia
'Climate change induced decadal variations in hydrodynamic conditions and their influence on benthic habitats of the Estonian coastal sea'
by Ü. Suursaar, University of Tartu, Estonia
'Air quality for a sustainable California, U.S.-Baja California, Mexico border region'
by M. Quintero-Núñez, Universidad Autonoma de Baja California, Mexico
Conference Sessions
The papers presented at the conference were classified under the following headings;
International Scientific Advisory Committee
The International Scientific Advisory Committee met over dinner at an excellent Arabic restaurant to discuss how the conference has progressed and to plan reconvening the meeting in two years time. A series of new topics were discussed as well as the need to emphasise that the authors ought to give their presentations in a way that can appeal to a wide range of disciplines: Ravage of the Planet being primarily an interdisciplinary meeting. Several possible locations for the 2013 conference were discussed, taking into account the importance of holding the meeting in emerging countries, rather than those in Europe or the USA.
Conference Dinner
Excursion to Melaka
At the end of the conference the University of Teknologi Mara offered the delegates a complimentary excursion to the historic city of Melaka, which is considered one of the oldest cities in Malaysia. The Portuguese, the Dutch and the English have controlled the city for more than 450 years consecutively and left their imprint on its culture. The excursion comprised places such as Jonk Street with its many historical buildings; the Stadthuys town hall and governors' residence, which is the oldest Dutch building in the East. They also saw the remains of A Formosa, a fort protecting the river built by the Portuguese and the oldest pieces of European Architecture in the whole of South East Asia.

Asian Studies Meet & Greet
[CAS Event] On Tuesday, February 4, the Center for Asian Studies is holding our first Asian Studies student event of the year. Undergraduate students and faculty are invited to join us at The Sink for an evening of socializing and networking with others in the university community who have similar interests. Asian Studies major and minors as well as interested students are all welcome. The Center for Asian Studies will provide the food, and students and faculty are responsible for purchasing their own beverages.
At this event, we will formally announce the new minor in Asian Studies, which is a great opportunity for students to integrate Asian Studies into their undergraduate career without studying an Asian language or writing a senior thesis. The Center for Asian Studies directors will be there to answer questions about the Asian Studies major and minor.
The Sink is located at 1165 13th St, Boulder, CO 80302. To get there, go south on Broadway from Baseline and turn right on 13th St. From campus, just head to the hill. The Sink is in the complex behind Buchanan's Coffee Pub.

Gear Review
Love this little layer
Even though I'm tall (5'8"), I wear a small in most of my gear - except for MH. I need them to make a size right in between their small and medium :) I ordered the small and it's not quite as long as I'd like, which is the only reason why I docked a star. Otherwise, it's a perfect little layer - the red color was beautiful, it packs down super small, the fabric is soft and breatheable, and added just the right amount of warmth. I totally recommend it, just pay more attention to the size charts than I do!

Project helps see Durham with new eyes
In the pursuit of art, Durham native Anjanée Bell gained a new appreciation of her hometown. The dancer/choreographer set out on foot with filmmaker Rodrigo Dorfman to explore areas of downtown Durham that she had never seen up close.
Audience members will see those images and Bell's choreography in the premiere of her work-in-progress, "Birth of Existence Project -- Bridge of Light." The performance takes place at 8 p.m. Thursday at Reynolds Industries Theater.
The new work also includes a reprise of the duet, "Deux," created by Gaspard Louis and performed by Louis and Bell.
This collaboration between Dorfman and Bell came about as a result of a chance meeting when Bell came to see screenings of Dorfman's films at Carrack Modern Art, a non-commercial art space in downtown Durham.
"We started talking and immediately found a commonality -- a certain sensitivity towards creating outside of the norm; art as a path toward self-realization; a deep connection between art and your life; and having a sense of humor," Dorfman said in a telephone interview.
The filmmaker said he had never worked with a choreographer but had always wanted to. "I've always wanted to push the limits of what my digital art can do,' Dorfman said. For him, such a collaboration offered an opportunity to "re-access, recreate and become reborn aesthetically and creatively," he said.
For Bell, the collaboration fit into the mission of her company, Bellan Contemporary Dance Theatre: to contribute to the continued growth of dance as an art form.
She and Dorfman were looking for something specific as they walked around the Bull City. "We were looking for walls and the way light hit walls, brick and decaying brick," the filmmaker said.
They stopped at the green wall, painted with a fish mural, between Parrish and Main streets. "It's one of my favorite walls in Durham. The color is vibrant. I like the movement of the fish," Bell said.
The alleyway behind Alley Twenty Six, a downtown bar, caught Bell's attention for the first time -- especially the tree growing in the alley. "I really like trees. They hold a lot of history and a lot of stories," Bell said.
These and other places they visited helped the choreographer see Durham with new eyes. She hopes her new work, in general, will encourage others to see Durham and other surroundings in a different light. "It's about helping people to understand how we can constantly give birth to ourselves every day by shifting our perspectives on things," Bell said.
Dorfman filmed Bell's company dancing at these downtown locations for the video he created for Bell's 40-minute production. When asked what the audience would see, he replied, "You will see ghosts and angels and the Apocalypse, lovers and fire. It's not a classical narrative. It's themes, tone, colors. In a way, it's about mood, which, I believe, is what I'm good at."
His video for this dance also includes favorite footage he could not fit into other documentaries he has made. These images include birds in Turkey and clouds in Gainsville, Georgia, that he found interesting while waiting for an interviewer.
Dorfman's documentary, "One Night in Kernersville," won the Jury Award for Best Short at the 2011 Full Frame Documentary Film Festival in downtown Durham. He also served as associate producer on another well-received documentary, the 2007 "A Promise to the Dead: The Exile Journey of Ariel Dorfman."
Born in Santiago, Chile, Dorfman, 47, has lived in Durham since 1985. He is the son of Ariel Dorfman, a writer, who teaches at Duke University.
Bell, the daughter of Durham Mayor Bill Bell, grew up staging weekly fashion shows and dance performances with her younger sister, Kristen, in the basement of their Durham home. At age 9, she began taking dance classes. Later, she was a student one summer at the American Dance Festival because she wanted to study with Donald McKayle and Carmen de Lavallade, she said. For the student showings, McKayle selected her to perform the solo in his "Angelitos Negros," she added. She later taught dance at Hillside High School.
Fast forward to 2006, when she founded her multi-generational company followed by a company school. Her current eight-member troupe's ages range from Bell, 37, to Chloe Rae Saylor-McGraft, 4. The company also includes family members: Bell's sister, Kristen Bell Hughes as a main dancer and, as apprentices, Bell's daughter, Heléna Bell, 6, and her niece Asian Hughes, 7.
Bell's 8-month-old daughter, Jianélise, may eventually join the troupe. "She's walking and she already dances," Bell said.

Every Wednesday we take a look at The Week Ahead to see what storylines we'll be following, because Wednesday is a day meant for looking ahead to the future. Around here we call Wednesday "Future Day" and we all wear silver jumpsuits and big bubble space helmets. Doesn't everybody do that?
It's a relatively quiet week for the Canucks. No travel. Just two home games. Plenty of time to sit there and think about what they've done.
Wednesday, March 19th
Home vs the Nashville Predators
It's a sign of how far the Canucks have fallen that we look at a home gate versus the worst team in the Central Division, and one of just two teams in the Conference that's scored fewer goals than the Canucks, and we say, oooooh a winnable game. Time was, most games the Canucks played were winnable, on the basis that the Canucks are good. But now, with the Canucks' goodness in question, we have to look to the badness of their opponent.
Badness: Nashville has it. They can't score, and for the first time in ages, they can't defend much, either. That's a good sign for a Canucks team that's on the ropes. Vancouver's still a longshot to make the playoffs, but they should be able to marginally improve their chances here. And if they can't, well, then they really don't deserve to be in the playoffs anyway.
Monday, March 23rd
Home vs the Buffalo Sabres
Canucks and Sabres. So deep runs their expansion kinship that even now, over forty years later, they're in the basement together. Do you like goals? We sure as heck hope not, because this game probably won't have any. The two worst goal-scoring teams in hockey come together for what's sure to be a game of aggressive chipping and chasing.
Much like the Predators, the Sabres are so bad that the desperate Canucks really have no excuse for losing this game. But they still might! This will be a great game to hate-watch. Take to Twitter and lovingly make fun of your favourite team as they try desperately to beat hockey's worst franchise. Brush up on your biting wit beforehand by watching old British comedies, and go for the Oscar Wilde Trophy for Excellence in Gallows Humour, won by the former British satirist for his famous last words: "Either that wallpaper goes or I do."
nope, shaping up for a murphy's law season all around. if the hockey gods have their way the canucks will finish 9th, tortorella will get another season, and booth will end the season with a flurry of goals and/or get an injury that will keep him out for about 3 months.
wow, will the thrills never end for canuck fans?
there was a time when playing a couple of bad teams could have really come in handy. actually that did happen and it didn't come in handy. hmmm…beat florida in a shootout though. woo hoo!
yup, so much for the mansion on the hill. it was nice digs while it lasted. at least we can still speak with a haughty accent while pushing our shopping carts up the alley. "2011, my dear chap, 2011….have you got a quarter, by any chance? my accountant seems to have misplaced my trust fund."
In the common PITB parlance, "Don't flip the pool." The comments section isn't exactly broken, but it's switched to a mode that requires us to approve all comments, rather than just those from new commenters. We don't know why it's done that and we haven't been able to switch it back just yet, but we're working on it.
Comment approval has slowed a bit because I'm currently on vacation and it's just me and Harrison moderating the comment section. If Harrison has another commitment to take care of, the comments can get a little backlogged.

Seeking title of Mac-only game from early '90s with detailed character creation system.
EsotericMacSoftwareFilter: My senior year of college (1990-1991), I played a Mac-only role-playing game, the name of which escapes me. The game itself wasn't that good, but I loved the character creation system. You chose your mother and father's professions and that determined your base stats. Then you described how you spent your time in four-year blocks (25% study, 25% play, 50% womanizing, or whatever). These blocks further modified your character's scores. Over the years, I've conducted numerous web searches for this game, but for the life of me I can't find anything on it. Does anyone know which game this was? Does anyone know where I could buy (or download) a copy for my gathering-dust Mac SE? [more inside]
