So these are fan made concept arts? Or is she somehow connected to WDI?
I don't know where I read it, but weren't there rumours that WDI is outsourcing a big part in designing and creating SHDL?
They are concepts made for the new park by an artist. One of thepicture even has the "Disney" logo.
The picture at the bottom shows prettymuch how the Downtown area will be formed even if they change the theme of it. It also reveals a the gate to the park with the Mickey head in the grass. Notice Club 33 and what could be a indoor Mainstreet type of entry.

According to the resume on her site, she worked as a junior architect for BCJ (big firm) and did design drawings for client WDI from 2009-2011. So these are real.
The entry layout is in line with everything we've seen from the massing model to the birds eye painting.
It's becoming clear that the Main Street of this park (before you reach the 12 acre landscaped hub) will be Disney/Pixar-themed (e.g. the facades could include Mr. Frederickson's house from Up, Mickey's House, Gusteau's from Ratatouille, etc.).Notice Club 33 and what could be a indoor Mainstreet type of entry.

Thanks for posting those. Very interesting.
Club 33 is something that has got me intrigued. I wonder if it is the same as the original or they're just utilising the name?
"We're not trying to entertain the critics ... I'll take my chances with the public." - Walt Disney
Official: We know that current plans call for a Main Street-like knub at the entry of the park (as can be seen above, in the artwork & elsewhere). Disney Higher Ups like Iger & Craig Russell have stated in public that Shanghai will have a "very different" Main St., as the Chinese have no affinity for turn of the century Americana. They will be "greeted by Disney characters" as they enter the park (said Iger in one interview) and approach the 11-acre greenspace (featuring Dumbo and the carousel).
Rumor Mill: Screamscape & Disney&More have both written articles about the specific rumors of a character-centric Main Street (almost like Toontown, but not quite).
Circumstantial: The primary purpose of the park is push/introduce Disney/Pixar brands to Chinese consumers, and it is likely this will happen the moment the people enter the park (actually, before). Also, puzzle pieces point to Adventureland featuring the PotC franchise, Tomorrowland featuring the Tron and Stitch (and possibly Lightyear) brands, while Fantasyland will feature the Pooh, Tangled, Disney Princess brands.
There are many, many other characters/films Disney would like to squeeze into this park and having a Disney/Pixar entry area seems like a logical place for them to amalgamate.
I made the Pixar assumptions above because they have distinct urban environments that lend themselves to theme park architecture. If you check out the TimDelaneyDesign pdf you can see an interesting study of this concept.

^^ We'll see I guess.
While I myself have no real feeling for what the Main St architecture will look like...wouldn't it be interesting if they extended the Fantasyland architecture to the Main St knub? Then it would it would complement the castle and the spinner rides in the hub. The Chinese might not relate to circa 1900 Americana but "fairytale architecture" would work.
Down with the Hat
I'm not so sure about this. I'm all for bringing in some new architectural spin into the DL concept but if it's going to be all over the place without some "traditional" design concept, I couldn't call it a Disney park. We'll, see...
There seems to be a surprising amount of what looks like digital fabrication and other modernist elements to the resort complex. It kind of reminds me of how Eisner got into his modern starchitect phrase right around the time of Disneyland Paris, which got us the Michael Graves-designed Hotel New York (questionable) and the Gehry-designed Disney Village (). I wonder if this is a direct result of the outsourcing or if Iger/Disney/Imagineering just wants a new take on the Disneyland concept.
While I don't necessarily disagree with their design decision, I just hope they're careful... people associate a certain style with the Disney name, and it would have to be a strong design to break away from that. I'd be more comfortable with classic Disney thematic design, if it were me.
Interesting design but ugly choice of building facades and archiecture for Downtown Disney, Hope they did not go with that
Anyone else think these look a little blasé and bland? As excited for Shanghai Disneyland past concept arts have made me, I can't say these have the same effect.

Great theme and even better support. Top notch.
Thanks for your business and for the kind words!
Truly impressed by not just the theme but the customer service, classy, quick and kind. Thank you, it has been a pleasure! I will buy themes from them again.
Thank you so much for the kind words and for your business! Also if you haven't already please don't forget to rate the theme, thanks!
I wanted to know if I can completely remove following modules:
- devel
- devel_themer (Theme developer)
- simplehtmldom API
as I think above modules are only used by developer and not by us.
Please let me know if it is necessary to keep these modules to get themes/website working properly.
Also, why have you created 2 modules folder at \drupal_7\sites\all\modules\modules . It is not necessary.
Also, how can I contact you through email.
Yes you can remove those if you don't wish to use them. If there is a second modules folder that was a mistake and it will be removed in the next update.
If you need additional support please register for our forums at http://refaktorthemes.com/support and then reply here with your username for posting access. Thanks!
I have registered at your forum. My username is: apeee . Please provide the posting access. Also, I need to talk to you for custom work. Please let me know how can I talk to you privately; through an email.
Just gave you access. We are actually not taking on any custom work right now but if you want to get in touch use the contact form on our author page http://themeforest.net/user/refaktor#from
I see that the theme is not a valid XHTML & CSS. It would be nice if we see a valid XHTML & CSS update of this theme in next update.
It's essentially impossible to get valid XTML and CSS with Drupal because of how much extra code Drupal injects into the page markup.
I have drupal 6 theme that I purchased from here (http://themeforest.net/item/simple-a-simple-advanced-premium-drupal-theme/150718) which has valid XHTML and CSS code.
I understand that drupal injects many codes from its modules to the theme but most of the codes are valid XHTML and CSS. It depends on theme developer if he intends to make a theme such way. I also understand it is another headache and difficult task but it should have been in the list.
I am not saying in any way your theme is not working or has false code. I really really liked your theme and that is why I purchased it. It is an awesome theme. I am just telling you that if it has clean valid code then more people would be interested in it. I generally go for valid XHTML & CSS themes/templates.
Well we will certainly keep that in mind. The HTML version of the theme is completely XHTML valid and we used the same markup for the theme. As far as valid CSS that is impossible these days because CSS3 is basically impossible to validate. Your points are a good reminder to fully ensure that the themes are as HTML valid as we possibly can, but again some of the ways Drupal generates HTML is simply not valid.
Hi, Firstly many thanks for this great theme! I have been very impressed with it!
However, is it possible to increase the size of the elastic slider on the homepage?
I really need it to be 450px high for my site, if you could tell me how to go about this I would be very grateful
Regards Tom
Thank you for your purchase, we appreciate your business. You can add the following to the user CSS option in the theme settings under the Design tab:
.ei-slider {height: 450px; }

One further question if possible? I wanted to add a small image field to appear under each portfolio item, so that I can upload a small image such as a logo?
I'm going to give you access right now so go ahead and make a forum post about your second question
thats great, many thanks for your help

hello, there was a problem. white page appears after you install the module. could you give me access to make a forum post about my question in details?
Can you please leave a comment or contact us via http://themeforest.net/user/refaktor#from with the purchasing account referencing the username you would like access given to? Thanks.
Hi there. I just purchased this theme today thinking that there would be blocks in the left sidebar. However, this doesn't seem to be the case. My design requires me to add elements above & below the left navigation. I've noticed that the left sidebar code exists in the includes/header.php file. I copied this folder/file over to the odysseus theme to customize it, but it's not recognized.
Can you please advise me as to how I can make this kind of a theme customization without hacking the core of the main Kalypso theme?
Also, I registered on your support forum several hours ago, but haven't received my confirmation email yet. I can take this conversation over to there if you'd like, but need to be granted access first.
Thanks, Eric
Can you please let me know if this is possible, or if I should be looking for a different theme?
Thanks, Eric
Sorry for the delayed reply. Please go ahead and post your question in our forums as that is our preferred method of handling support – http://refaktorthemes.com/support
Howdy refaktor! I have a question for u!Can u tell me before purchase if it is possible to have a different top menu besides the left sidebar menu?
I'm sorry I'm not sure I understand your question, can you try asking again or give me an example of what you're looking to do? Thanks.
Hi ,happy new year,Is RTL supported?

After the consecration ceremony His Holiness welcomed His Beatitude the Catholicos, their Eminences the Metropolitans and the delegation which came from India to attend the consecration. His Holiness blessed the new Metropolitan, on behalf of the Holy Church, wishing him success in his ministry. The new Metropolitan, then, responded by thanking His Holiness for his trust and fatherly blessings promising to serve the Holy Church faithfully and devotedly.
Following the consecration everybody was invited to a lunch banquette offered by the Patriarchal Churches in India.

The Bachelorette
Bachelorette 2013 Desiree Hartsock: 10 Shocking Facts
Charming. Ridiculously sweet. The girl next door. We all know that 2013 Bachelorette Desiree Hartsock is about as all-American as apple pie, but don't take that to mean that this 27-year-old California girl going to end up boring or one-note.
There are plenty of things about Desiree you might not expect at all. From her secret rap skills her hidden rebellious side, here are 10 facts about Des that just might surprise you.
1. She's a rule breaker.
Des recent told the Huffington Post that she's not afraid to ignore the usual rules and restrictions used on the show. "I followed my heart in any way that I could," she said. "And if that meant doing something that was unconventional or doing something that wasn't in the rulebook, I would follow my heart and do it." Hey, most rules were made to be broken, anyway!
2. This girl has a need for speed.
Des openly admits her love for celebs like Brad Pitt and Eric Bana, but when asked to pick her ultimate celebrity crush, Des went with a name that isn't quite as familiar: Paul Walker. Turns out that the blue-eyed star of The Fast and The Furious franchise is Des's dream guy. "Paul Walker is like a no-brainer," she says.
3. She's deathly allergic to bee stings.
Some people like taking a moment to stop and smell the roses — but for Des, that could be a life-threatening activity. " I'm allergic to all stings," she tells ABC. "I swell up a lot! Last season on The Bachelor when we were in St. Croix, I got stung by a sea urchin and my whole foot was gigantic and gross. It was honestly the worst pain ever." A trip to the doctor and a Benadryl shot later, Des was on the mend, but she describes the entire process as simply "miserable." Yikes!
4. Des has never really thought about her wedding day!
Plenty of girls have been planning, organizing, and idea booking their big day since the age of five. Not Des. She's barely given it a thought! As a bridal stylist, she spends so much time meticulously planning out the details of other people's weddings, that Des says she's never really taken the time to think about hers.
5. She loves roller skating in bikini tops, Daisy Dukes, and pink knee-highs.
Because really now... who doesn't?
6. Check out her top secret past — as a dancer in rap videos.
Well... sorta. Des donned a super-tight dress and danced up on Soulja Boy in a stolen and leaked music video, but it's not nearly as salacious as it sounds. The whole thing was a spoof music video put together by ABC as part of a group date during her season. Still, Des gets to show off both her dance moves and her rap skills during the shoot. You won't want to miss the finished product.
7. She's super-sporty.Des may come off as a total girly-girl who loves fashion and wedding dress design, but that doesn't mean she doesn't have an athletic side. The Colorado native tells ABC she's loved volleyball ever since middle school. She played for seven years, and even coached the sport during her senior year of high school.
8. She doesn't want to be a reality TV star.
We know, right: A Bachelor contestant who isn't trying to use their fame on the show to turn themselves into a successful — or (backup plan) ridiculous/infamous — media personality? Shocking. Des recently revealed that she'd have to think long and hard before deciding to televise any potential Bachelorette wedding. "I don't necessarily want to continue in television," she said. "I want my wedding to be intimate and small. But we'll see when that time comes."
9. She doesn't like it when guys try to impress her.Most girls want a guy who will sweep her off her feet. Not Des! The Bachelorette tells ABC that she prefers a man who "can be candid and goofy." She hates it when guys try to be someone else or act different just to impress her.
10. No charmed upbringing here!
As the Bachelorette, Des's life is all about gorgeous gowns, going on lavish dates, and driving bright turquoise sports cars, but it wasn't always that day. Desiree grew up extremely poor. In fact, she spent much of her childhood living in a tent. So when Des says this show feels like her own personal fairy tale, she isn't exaggerating at all. Now the big question is, which of the 25 guys will end up becoming her Prince Charming?

Another "Tweet" Controversy
September 15, 2011 - Kim Collette
"Just waking up after a late arrival, I've never seen a machine operate like that in person, to see video game numbers put up in person was WOW." A harmless "tweet" from Chad Ochocinco.....right? Wrong. Former Patriort and current ESPN analyst Teddy Bruschi says, "DROP THE AWE FACTOR, OKAY?"
I must admit I've never been an Ochocinco fan. I don't like his reality shows or his antics when he scores a touchdown. And now, I find myself wanting to root for him this Sunday. To me all Ocho's tweet meant was that coming from an organization like the Bengals (sorry to you Bengals fans out there) that what he was a part of Monday night was amazing. Can you blame him for that?
Ochocinco understands that the NFL is entertainment. While in Cincinnati he turned to touchdown celebrations, reality shows and tweets to entertain the fans and keep them interested in The Bengals and the NFL. He had to. He had no other option. From what I have seen this year, Ocho has "tamed" his act way down to conform to Bill Belichick's system. But why should he have to? The Patriots knew what they were getting in Chad Ochocinco when the signed him to play for the Patriots. Don't make him "conform" to "the Patriot" way.
Maybe, just maybe, Teddy Bruschi and Rodney Harrison's "old school"should be a thing of the past. Let Ochocinco be himself and I bet you'd get the player and entertainer he was in Cincinnati.
*Just an fyi, Ochocinco has been silent on Twitter since Tuesday.
Until next time friends!

Senate Democrats and Republicans respectively re-elected Harry Reid and Mitch McConnell to their party leadership posts on Tuesday, returning the lawmakers to their perches on Capitol Hill two weeks after Republicans picked up six seats in the chamber.
Reid and McConnell — who both ran unopposed for their leadership positions — both said their immediate focus was the economy. Reid said his party would go "more than the extra mile" to work with Republicans, while McConnell said there's now a great opportunity to cut spending and the U.S. debt and to get private-sector job-creation going again.
Other Democratic and Republican leaders also kept their positions, including Dick Durbin of Illinois, who will stay on as assistant Democratic leader. Sen Charles Schumer, a New York Democrat, will be vice-chair of the Democratic conference. Sen. Jon Kyl of Arizona will continue as Republican whip and Lamar Alexander of Tennessee stays as Republican Conference chairman.
House leadership elections are scheduled for Wednesday.

Age: 52
PGA Tour wins: 2
Joined Champions Tour: 2012
Champions Tour wins: 0
Note: Armour has been a runner up four times in his brief Champions Tour career, including the ACE Group Classic in 2010, where he fired a final-round 11-under-par 61, matching the Champions Tour 2010 low for best score in relation to par. He trailed eventual winner Fred Couples by seven strokes after five holes that Sunday before playing the next dozen holes at 10-under to grab a share of the lead with a birdie at No. 17. However, Couples answered with a birdie at the same hole and went on to the one-stroke win. This season hasn't been a great season for Armour. In five starts, he has just one top-25 finish, but has the ability to fire a low, low round.

SAN ANTONIO - The testimony was tearful and remorseful Monday in the trial of an international flight attendant who plead guilty to charges of intoxication assault and leaving the scene of an accident.
"I am haunted by it," sobbed Julie Ann Bronson, 45, referring to the April 23, 2009, accident. "I can never forgive myself. I know that the family hates me and I hate myself."
Eighteen-month-old Ava Lopez, her mother and her 3-year-old sister were injured when Bronson's Mercedes convertible jumped a curb and ran them down as they worked in their front yard.
All three survived but Ava Lopez has required numerous surgeries and physical therapy.
After striking the three, investigators said, Bronson continued driving and was finally stopped several miles away driving on just the rims of her tires.
She testified that she has no memory of the accident. She remembered only going to bed and later waking up in jail.
Bronson said she drank five glasses of wine that afternoon, then took two Ambien and went to bed.
She said she occasionally used Ambien, a sleep aid, to help her regulate her body clock following long international flights, but had never taken it in combination with alcohol.
Dr. Janci Lindsay, a toxicologist, testified that sleep driving and other complex behaviors are among the side effects of taking the drug.
Lindsay also noted that the combination of alcohol, Ambien and Prozac found in Bronson's system was what she described as "a perfect storm" that resulted in the woman's behavior.
Closing arguments and jury deliberations are set for Tuesday in the punishment phase of Bronson's trial.
She facing a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison but is eligible for probation.

Late at night when hearts grew large and voices were not much more than a whisper, the drums would start up. Some said they were night hawks, others said they were oil pump jacks, but still others believed they were the voice of the Fremonts, hunters and gatherers who existed between the years 300 AD and 1400 AD, before vanishing without any trace of assimilation into other groups of peoples.
In August of 2001 I was invited to join a small group of archaeologists as they were to begin the second two-week, field-school excavation of a Fremont cliff dwelling in the East Douglas Creek Canyon of Northwestern Colorado. I had been living in a small ranching town about an hour and a half drive east of the site, and for the past year had been accompanying Glade Hadden, the area archaeologist for the Bureau of Land Management. We'd spent days canvassing arroyos and boulders, climbing cliffs, studying rock art and astronomical drill hole sites and every kind of vegetation from shadscale that the Fremonts used for seasonings to Mormon tea. Glade, who'd grown up in Utah, understood not only the cultural and historical implications of the Fremonts, but understood the land and the Fremonts' relationship to it. If it weren't for the high volume of paperwork Glade's job required, which he tried to push off to those days in winter when blizzards made field work prohibitive, he would have lived in the field, wearing through several pairs of hiking boots a year. He was a grizzly sort of man, with long blond hair pulled back in a ponytail, full beard, bushy eyebrows, and large blue eyes that lit up when he told a story as if the whole world mattered. Actually, when I'd listen to Glade tell a story, the whole world "did" matter to me, and I'd find myself tethered to his every word.
I was at a crossroad in my life when Glade's and my paths merged. I was coming out of a sixteen-year marriage, and had no idea how I was to support myself, much less support my three young sons. But that crossroad, as with most, was one of anticipation, and my emotional and spiritual longing stretched my senses to a painful point. I was paying attention to each and every road sign, extreme hunger for life seething in my muscles and thoughts. Having not tasted so much freedom and possibility before, even sleep seemed like a burden. But what was also at work, pushing the confines of my heart, was grief for what was lost, for the death of a vision, not just for me, but for my children. I was seeking solace, release, and answers in gnarled trees and smooth stones, worn earth, silent ancestors, and in loneliness like running water. What better place to expand my senses, to wash myself clean and learn myself all over again than in the wind-swept wilderness of the high desert, where some of North America's archaic people had slept within the folds of the rocks and sand and brush, where big sky felt like eternity on my shoulders, vast with blue, brilliant with stars, electric with thunderstorms. I was digging, hiking, searching for home, and it felt very close.
The Fremont culture was first referred to as the Northern Periphery of the Anasazi. However, in the early 1930s more and more sites occupied by this group of gatherers were discovered along the Fremont River in central Utah. In 1932, Noel Moss named this distinct culture that of the Fremonts, after the river along which the sites were discovered, and also after John C. Fremont, renowned western explorer with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, for whom the river was named. I refer to the Fremonts' culture as "distinct," because the artifacts discovered at the sites were unique to these people: stone-walled architecture; rock art; one-rod and bundle basketry; thin-walled, gray-ware pottery; and narrow-stem projectile points. These cultural artifacts, or signature items, would keep archaeologists baffled, and sometimes haunted, as they tried to piece together the disappearance of what had been a flourishing community of people.
By 1000 AD, the Fremonts had reached their peak with settled communities in central and eastern Utah occupied by up to several hundred people at a time. The Fremonts were clearly flourishing with an economic base of farming and hunting. And yet, just 150 years later, they had completely disappeared from Utah. Interestingly, while archaeologists in Utah were approximating the disappearance of the Fremonts at 1150 AD, archaeologists in western Colorado were discovering isolated Fremont farmsteads and cliff dwellings large enough to contain four or five families, or extended families that dated as late as 1400 AD.
This particular Fremont cliff dwelling, in which excavation I would be participating, dated from around 1000 AD. Glade, and Dudley Gardner, an anthropology professor at Western Wyoming College, who was the other investigator for the excavation of the site, had compiled a research design upon applying for the excavation permit. They anticipated that the site would require four years of work, and that the excavation would include four summers of field school. Glade, Dudley, Martin Lammers (chief archaeologist for Fort Bridger Historic Park in Wyoming), a handful of college students, and I were about to begin the second field-school operation. We set out from Rangely, Colorado, in a caravan of three old pickup trucks and one flat-bed hay truck driven by one of the students. Each truck was laden with camping gear, ice, food, homemade insect repellent, ropes, lanterns, journals, tin foil, trowels, picks, dustpans, brushes, line levels, etc. We had packed carefully and thoroughly. We were going deep into the canyon, and should it rain, we might not be heading out for some time. We wove our way amid arroyos, rabbit brush and sagebrush, the trucks climbing up ruddy paths through the Pintada Draw toward the Cathedral Bluffs. We'd long since passed signs forbidding motorized vehicles from this part of the terrain. Up ahead was a steep pitch. Glade's truck made it, as did the second truck in line, and so did mine, but the flat-bed truck spun out. It would have to remain parked at the bottom of the incline. From the top of the pitch, we watched the students load the gear onto their backs and hike the rest of the way up.
We spent the next few hours setting up camp. Then it was time to get things ready at the site for the excavation, which meant lowering gear by rope, and some of us rappelling down the rock face to the cliff dwelling. From there, we set up an easier path that wound about a half a mile along the side of the rock face and up to the edge of the cliff, just wide enough for us to make it single-file, and sometimes on all fours. We would begin the official excavation the following morning. The rest of the evening would be spent unwinding and settling into our camps, which were spread across the bald top of the cliff that jutted out into the canyon and would expose us to the wind and sky and breathtaking sunrises and sunsets.
As we sat around the fire that night, the drums started up, at least that's what some of the crew members called them. We hadn't seen any oil drills in the canyon. We hadn't seen any sign of civilization. Whatever the sound was, it felt spiritual, rhythmic and steady, like a voice of the past. Darkness had settled upon us like a sheath of fine silk, giving us a sense of anonymity, and the glow of the flame lent comfort to our voices, removing us from ourselves. Slowly, lives began to unfold. Stories were shared, and all the while, the drums continued to play in the distance. Eventually, one by one, we would walk away from the fire and retire to our own tents, and in the morning, it would be as if the evening had never been. We would perform our tasks. Our faces would be lively and focused, closed off from the musings that had transpired only hours before. We all knew this. Yet, still, we allowed the evening to happen, and it would continue to happen each night, transforming our discoveries from the day into something personal and lasting, and transcending our individual lives.
Even after just one night, I was climbing to a different place of existence. That afternoon I had sat at the cliff dwelling. I had observed the pictographs, "white birds," as our group referred to them, for they looked like silhouettes of white wings against the sky. I had seen the handprints made by the children who had lived there, had felt the breeze from the canyon brush up against my back and the heat of the warm sand beneath my bare feet, and I knew that in exploring the lives of our ancestors I was exploring greater depths of my own life. I had not only lost a family. I had lost my perception of love. A friend of mine who is a forester, who has spent over thirty years of his life walking alone in the woods, has told me that love is a reflection of how you think about yourself. I understand those words now. But at that time in my life, in losing my sense of family and marriage, I had also lost my fulcrum, and in redefining love, I was also redefining the person I was. As Glade has said of archaeology, "It is the purest study of man. We want to find out who we are."
As I made my way down the narrow path the following morning for my first day of work, I came upon Dudley.
"You know, I was thinking about what you told us last night. I was thinking about your story."
I was standing on a rock that jutted out about three feet. Dudley was standing a few feet below me, a smile carved into his craggy complexion, his eyes an incandescent blue. He was a small-framed man, lean and muscular, and when he smiled, there was something mischievous and daring and wise about him that made me want to listen to what he had to say. But Dudley moved fast. It was a rare thing for him to stay in one place for long, and I hoped he would finish his thought before he moved on.
"You're the eagle," he said. "An eagle has to fly. But what is most important to an eagle is its nest."
Dudley didn't wait for me to say anything. He was gone, a light layer of dust kicking up behind him. And in his wake, I took a deep breath, looked out at the canyon, then continued on to the site. I'm the eagle, I thought. Yes. I had one more defining piece of the woman I was, and something else. I had understanding, and at the moment, that meant the world to me.
It was not an easy decision to leave my home, my husband. And it was not a decision that the people of the all-American town in the heart of the West understood. I'd felt the shunning; I'd heard the gossip. I was no longer part of their fabric. I had not only been cast out, I'd been cast aside. I'd been disposable. But what they didn't understand was what had always been most important to me, would always be most important to me was my family, and in one evening, Dudley, a stranger had seen enough to make that connection.
One night in the middle of the previous winter, Glade and I were making the hour drive to a community college where we taught anthropology and creative writing respectively. He talked about how cultural understandings and truths are always evolving. "We think a family with a mother and father is the norm because that is what we've understood to be the norm, and that if we don't fit that norm we have failed or we are doing something wrong." He went on to explain the norm as being defined by a person's or a group's behaviors at a given time, which are largely dictated by socio-economic factors. But socio-economic factors are constantly changing. "The range in human behavior is so broad. There really is no such thing as a norm. We create the behaviors we need in order to survive." Glade had wanted me to see that what I was doing should not be subject to anyone's judgment, including my own. I would be provider and mother of my children. I would be head of a single-parent family. That was all good because that was what I needed to do to survive. My life had evolved to require different behaviors, and I should feel strong and secure in that knowing.
And so, as I sat for hours each day at that summer's field school, excavating flakes of chert and pieces of pottery and bones from the family hearth, including a bison femur, and sifting through fine dirt to filter out chenopodium and amaranthus seeds (part of the Fremonts' diet), I thought of this particular family that had vanished from its home and the changes that had been inflicted upon the family's members. Had they been driven from their home by disease, famine, or other outside forces? Had socio-economic factors or threatening impulses caused this family to change its behavior in order to survive?
We did not learn what happened to this particular Fremont family, but we did discover something interesting about the site itself. Outside the dwelling, one of the students uncovered a second hearth. Radio carbon testing dated it to 2000 BC. This site had not just been used by one family. In fact, there was no telling how many lives had breathed, eaten, laughed, slept, made love, borne children upon this dwelling's soil.
Two summers later, Glade, Dudley, Martin, another group of college students, and I returned to the site to finish excavation and to close up. But there was one new member of our crew that year: my oldest son, Nate, who was fourteen at the time. Evening rituals around the fire resumed: stories were told and songs were sung, and I would watch the face of my son and wonder in what ways his life was being transformed. Age did not matter in our group. Nate was treated no differently than anyone else. He kept up with the logs, drew maps, hauled five gallon pails of dirt for sifting, and dug and brushed his way through the grids of sandy earth like the rest of us. But there was a different spirit bearing upon us that year than in the previous summers' field schools. Perhaps it was the finality of things, the closing of a civilization's story, at least for the time being, the closing of our own story at that place. There was a sadness that clung to our thoughts, and no matter how much we soaked our feet at night or tried to laugh and make jokes, we felt it. We slept little. When we weren't digging, we were taking long hikes, oftentimes alone. We didn't want to let go of what we knew was slipping away. We tattooed our arms and backs with permanent markers, carefully choosing our totems, something to signify what we had taken from our experience at this place we now called our sacred ground. My totem, of course, was the eagle. My son chose a mountain goat.
The morning of our last day we cleaned up the site for pictures, which would be included with our logs. While the rest of the crew packed up their tools and sat on rocks outside the dwelling eating lunch, I stayed behind, carefully brushing the dirt floor, wanting everything perfect, not able to pull myself away. It was then that I noticed a change in the soil. I had begun to expose a new layer, and in doing so, had found ash. With a trowel, I dug into the dirt a little deeper, and sure enough, I knew I was onto something.
"Glade," I yelled. "I think you need to get back in here."
I brushed more dirt away.
Within minutes Glade had climbed back into the site and was crouched beside me. He, too, began brushing aside dirt and gently digging with a trowel. Then with a gleam in his eyes and a huge boyish grin he said, "You've discovered another hearth."
Though we took samples from the hearth and would later learn that it dated to 600 AD, we would not be excavating any further. Our permit was up, and we would not be applying for another for that site. We would follow archaeologists' code of rule to leave something behind for a future excavation, understanding that we did not know all of the right questions to ask, understanding that we might draw the wrong conclusions. All of the soil that had been removed over the past four years would be returned, covering up another layer of residual life and artifacts, records of another community that had existed within this dwelling, another family, another people who, at some point, had moved on.
In the archaeological logs of that field school, my name – Les Buckets, as my field school crew called me – is associated with the discovery of that hearth. But for me it meant beginnings, possibilities just waiting to be unearthed.
Two nights before I had discovered the hearth, a thunderstorm had moved in. We watched it approach, travelling across the floor of the canyon. While others retreated to their tents, I moved to a flat ledge of rock about a five-foot drop from the top of the cliff where our camp was situated. I lay on my back, arms outstretched, watching the electricity rip through the sky, sending bursts of light in all directions. Then the sound of rain slapping on rocks and dry earth, and wind as it tore through pines. I opened my mouth wide, waiting for the drops to hit. Within minutes water splashed across my face. "I could be anywhere," I said out loud to myself. "I could be on a cliff in Scotland. I could be on the edge of an ocean."
"Yes," a voice answered.
Though I could not see his face, I knew the voice. It belonged to Martin, a quiet man, the chief crew supervisor who slept in the large canvas tent with the artifacts.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"Just watching the storm."
"You're not afraid?"
He laughed a little. "No."
"It's magnificent."
My heart swelled with infinity. There were no other words.

Many people in the western Minnesota communities of Dawson and Boyd must have been surprised when pertussis, or whooping cough, broke out in 1998. I remember it well, especially for the concern it caused. By the time the outbreak was over, more than 30 people, mostly school-aged children, had gotten sick.
From the vantage point of nearly 14 years later, it seems to have been an early warning sign – in our own back yard, no less – of things to come.
An alarming increase in whooping cough cases in the United States has caught everyone's attention this summer. For those in the public health field, however, there's nothing new about it. Pertussis has been climbing in incidence for several years and it's not completely clear why.
What we're seeing with pertussis seems like a good illustration of how easy it can be to mistakenly assume we've eradicated most of the formerly common childhood diseases, such as whooping cough, and how challenging it is to maintain whatever progress has been made.
Many have been quick to blame the anti-vaccine movement for what's happening. But although this is probably one of the contributing factors, it doesn't seem to be the whole story.
The real issue could well lie with the vaccine itself. It's now known that even among those who were vaccinated as children, the protective effects begin to wane by adolescence. Essentially this creates an enormous pool of teens and adults who may have become a reservoir for the pertussis bacteria and are unwittingly aiding in its spread, especially to infants and the very young who aren't yet fully immunized. (Children need to be at least 2 months old to receive the vaccine, and it takes a series of shots to acquire full protection.)
Questions also have been raised about the vaccine formula. In the late 1990s the formula was changed from a whole-cell form of the pertussis bacteria to an acellular, or inactive form. Did this make it less effective? Did it somehow alter the control of the disease? On the other hand, evidence suggesting the vaccine lacks long-term effectiveness has been around longer than this, so a change in the formula might not adequately explain what's happening. Although researchers have been exploring these issues for several years, the answers so far have been unclear.
Other research has found that the Bordetella pertussis bacterium may be evolving and perhaps is no longer well matched to the existing vaccine formula.
It was encouraging to hear this week that Affiliated Community Medical Centers here in Willmar has joined a project by the Minnesota Department of Health to increase the surveillance of whooping cough and collect more data. With more information, the public health community is in a better position to address the growing problem of whooping cough.
A couple of other points bear mentioning. First, although teens and adults do get sick from pertussis, their disease tends to be less severe – and as a result, it can go undiagnosed, allowing them to unknowingly spread it to others who might be much more vulnerable. The very young are usually hit the hardest; indeed, half of babies under the age of 1 year who develop pertussis end up being hospitalized.
Secondly, it's critical for health providers to keep whooping cough on their radar screen. They may not see it often and they may assume that the vaccine has made it a non-issue. But as we're learning, whooping cough is still very much present, and a persistent, hacking cough in an adult or severe cough in a child signals the need to look closer.
(For audio of what whooping cough sounds like, click here. Warning: Some may find it disturbing. Also, keep in mind that the characteristic high-pitched whoop at the end of the cough is not always present.)
Despite the tangle of issues surrounding the effectiveness of the whooping cough vaccine, it's pretty clear that it's still far better and safer to get vaccinated – and with the full series – than to skip it. Since we know that the vaccine wears off by adolescence, teens should get the recommended booster shot. Adults whose last pertussis vaccination was years ago and who've never had a booster shot should get one too, especially if they spend any time around young children.
It may not fully stem the tide, but there's uniform agreement in the public health community that appropriate vaccination will go a long way toward closing some of the gaps in the immunity safety net and starting to bring down those alarming pertussis numbers.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, Utah — More than two weeks after a mudslide damaged more than a dozen homes in Saratoga Springs, residents are still digging out and facing the financial burden of rebuilding their homes damaged by flooding.
Since the flooding Sept. 1, the city has been cleaning out a detention basin packed with mud and building check-dams to prevent further flooding. The community has also been helping by sandbagging.
And once again the community came together Monday night, holding a fundraiser at Neptune Park.
Kara Martin, who organized the event, says it is about celebrating a community that has come together during difficult times.
"I just had an idea to do something to help these families who were waist deep in mud for three days; I knew we couldn't end with cleaning up their houses, they still had a lot more work to do and it was going to take money to do," said Kara Martin.
However, some residents like Jewel Hoffman, whose basement was filled with mud after flooding hit the Jacobs Ranch subdivision, wonders if the city could have done more to prevent the flooding.
"I'm very disappointed in the city. I think they really could have done so much to help us," says Hoffman.
Saratoga Springs Councilman Bud Poduska, who was at the fundraiser in place of Mayor Mia Love, says there was nothing the city could have done to prevent the flooding that came nearly three months after the Dump Fire left behind a big burn scar.
"The rains just came too quickly. We'd already established state grants to build retention ponds up above," said Poduska. "The size of this calamity was beyond anything that would have normally prepared for."
The city isn't eligible for FEMA funding because, according to the councilman, "you have to have a certain number of homes damaged — I think it's 100 home damaged before you even be considered."
"On top of raising the money for the families, it's a little bit of a celebration that we've come together," said fundraising event organizer Kara Martin.
Still, some residents can't help but to wonder what more could have done.
"Without the residents, even the concert tonight was not put on by the city; it's a volunteer that has stepped forward that has put the entire thing together for us, without those type of people where would we be?" asks Saratoga Springs flood victim Jewel Hoffman.
A city council meeting is scheduled for Tuesday night to discuss the budget.
Fox 13 reached out to Mayor Mia Love, who is running for Utah's 4th Congressional seat. Her husband, who was at the fundraiser, says she was in Clearfield for meetings. Love's campaign told FOX 13 she would try to make it at the fundraiser later in the evening.
More details on the Saratoga Springs fundraiser can be found on their Facebook page.

Coordinated flooring, artwork and accessories tie together a black and white entranceway.
The 1930s marble checkerboard tiles in the front hall of designer Sloan Mauran's house were lifted, polished and re-set during her home renovations. "This space is clean and graphic with the original marble carved fireplace surround and tiles," says Sloan. "These strong statements are balanced by white walls and the fan coral in a shadow box frame." She also removed the L-bracket mantel above the fireplace to make the clean lines of the stone more evident.

The Educator's PLN online community (http://edupln.ning.com/) is dedicated to the support of a personal learning network for educators. A unique aspect of the EduPLN community, and the most important driver of knowledge sharing according to the administrators of the community, is the pairing of the EduPLN with Edchat, an ongoing Twitter conversation. Twitter is a real-time information network in which participants can use hash tags (#) to join and participate in specific conversations. Hashtags are a Web tag that have the hash mark or pound symbol (#) preceding the tag (e.g., #edhat) and are used to help in adding tweets to a category. Twitter's Edchat is a conversation among educators, parents, students, and other stakeholders in which challenging issues facing educational systems worldwide are discussed. Participants share perspectives and opinions, provide resources, and offer experiences. Officially, it is conducted on Twitter twice each Tuesday. Two chats are offered to accommodate the global time zones. The educational topics are chosen from a poll posted each Sunday night or the chat may feature a guest speaker. The chats are scheduled for an hour, but often carry on throughout the week. Complementing the conversation, participants tweet out short links to let Edchat members know about resources, websites, podcasts, videos, or the like that are relevant to the topic being discussed. So why have a community beyond the Twitter Edchat?

A metal foam burner element holds liquid fuel by capillary action. The element is in contact with one or more fuel feed pipes connected to a pressurised fuel supply. The element has air passageways through it so that combustion takes place between air passing through the element and the fuel.
1. A burner comprising: a burner element formed of a slab of material which is adapted and arranged to hold liquid fuel by capillary action and defining air passageways therethrough for the passage of combustion air to a combustion zone at the surface of the burner element; means supplying fuel under pressure in said element in an amount in excess of that required to saturate said element thereby to cause the element to be flushed and to remove carbon build up therefrom during the entire normal operation of the burner, said excess fuel dripping from the underside of the element said means including an elongated pipe having a plurality of orifices abutting the burner slab material and directed toward the combustion zone for directing the fuel into the burner slab material; and means for collecting and recycling the excess fuel to said supplying means; the combustion air and fuel vapors from the burner element being mixed and reacted above said element.
2. A burner according to claim 1 in which, the total cross-sectional area of the orifices is not greater than the cross-sectional area of the pipe.
3. A burner according to claim 1 in which said element is made from a metal foam material.
4. A burner according to claim 3 in which the metal foam material is a metal foam of nickel plated plastic with a flash coating of chromium.
5. A burner according to claim 1 in which said element is made from a metal filled plastics material, a porous ceramic material or a sintered metal.
6. A burner according to claim 1 in which said element is less than 10 mm. thick.
7. A burner according to claim 6 which is less than 3 mms. thick.
8. A burner according to claim 1 in which said air passageways are air holes of circular shape, each air hole having an area of from 0.01 to 1.0cm2.
9. A burner according to claim 8 in which the air holes account for from 25 to 55 percent of the total area of the element.
This invention relates to burners and in particular to burners which operate on vaporisable liquid fuels such as kerosene.
It is know to burn liquid fuels for heating purposes in wick burners wherein the wick enables transference of fuel from a reservoir to the combustion zone. An example of this type of burner is shown in British patent specification No. 1,247,406.
We have now discovered an improved burner element or wick which gives improved combustion characteristics.
According to the invention there is provided a burner element at least part of which can hold liquid fuel by capillary action which element is adapted for contact with a fuel supply supplying fuel under pressure to said element, the element having air passageways through it so that, during the use of the element as a component of a burner burning a liquid fuel, combustion takes place between air passing through the air passageways and the fuel.
Preferably the fuel supply comprises one or more fuel feed pipes.
Generally speaking, the combustion zone will be situated substantially adjacent to the burner element but it is also possible to transport the combustible mixture to a point remote from the element where combustion then takes place.
The burner element is preferably made from a metal foam material. A suitable material is a metal foam of nickel plated plastic (open cell polystyrene) with a flash coating of chromium for strength. Also other materials may be suitable e.g. metal filled plastics, porous ceramic materials and sintered metals.
The fuel feed pipe may also be `sandwiched` between layers of burner elements.
It will usually be desirable to use the thinnest element consistent with achieving the necessary fuel transfer since the greater the thickness the greater the heat capacity of the element and the fuel contained therein. A low heat capacity facilitates ignition since the smaller the heat capacity the more easily the fuel is vaporised and ignited. (Ease of ignition is particularly important in the case of a burner which is turned on and off by an automatic control system). A thin element confers an additional advantage when the burner is turned out. Combustion continues until the supply of fuel contained in the element is exhausted and this exhaustion is more satisfactorily achieved when the supply is small, i.e. when the element is thin. It is preferable that the element is less than 10 mm thick and for certain application, e.g. domestic central heating, it is preferable that the element be less than 5 mm, and most preferably less than 3 mm, thick.
In order to achieve uniform air distribution it is desirable that the air passageways be uniformly distributed over the element.
The air passageways are preferably air holes which are preferably circular in shape and preferably of an area of 0.01-1.0cm2. The number of air holes is such that they account for preferably 25-55 percent of the total area of the element. The air passageways can also be in the form of slits or other suitable shapes.
The invention includes both rigid and non-rigid wicks.
Non-rigid wicks are made of flexible material, e.g. ceramic fibres, and therefore, since the wick would collapse under its own weight, it must be used in conjunction with a support member adapted to hold the wick in the required configuration. On the other hand rigid wicks, e.g. wicks made of a porous metal such as a metal foam, are capable of supporting their own weight and therefore no support member is necessary.
Anisotropic wicks are particularly suitable for most applications. Examples of these are crushed metal foam where the pore size is smaller measured in the direction of air flow than at right angles thereto and a mat of ceramic fibres where there is a lower resistance to liquid flow in a horizontal direction than in the vertical direction.
Anisotropic wicks have the property of facilitating fuel flow in desired direction (i.e. across the element to achieve uniform fuel distribution) but hindering fuel flow in undesired directions (e.g. in a horizontal position to counteract fuel dripping out of the wick).
Ignition of the burner may be manual e.g. by naked flame or automatic e.g. by electrical means, such as spark ignition.
Preferably a drain trough is provided below the burner element so as to collect excess fuel dripping from the fuel outlets of the feed pipe.
The use of a pressurised fuel supply to the burner element means that normally the element is saturated with fuel and any excess fuel dripping from the element is collected in the drain trough. Thus the element or a part of the element is subject to continual flushing which aids in reduction of carbon build up caused by cracking of the fuel.
Further the fuel is contained in a system which reduces the possibility of flooding outside the burner. The burner has a low fuel capacity outside the element thus enabling a rapid flame out and elimination of fuel from the burner.
The fuel outlets in the feed pipe may be of any suitable shape e.g. circular or slits and are suitably arranged so as to give an even fuel distribution across the burner element. Preferably the total cross-sectional area of the fuel outlets of a feed pipe is not greater than the cross-sectional area of said feed pipe.
The burner element is normally used in a substantially horizontal position but may also be used in other orientations e.g. vertical, depending upon the required mode of application of the burner element.
The invention will now be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4 of the drawings accompanying the provisional specification.
FIG. 1 is a vertical cross-section of a burner having a foam metal burner element.
FIG. 2 is a top view of the burner shown in FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 shows an embodiment of the burner element having a twin inlet fuel supply.
FIG. 4 illustrates a burner in practical operation e.g. a central heating unit, having a high mounted heating unit.
The burner element 1 shown in FIG. 1 is in the form of a flat rectangular slab of crushed metal foam. The element 1 is pierced by air holes 2 arranged in an hexagonal pattern. The particular foam used was a metal foam made from nickel plated open cell polystyrene foam with a flash coating of chromium for strength.
The element 1 was made from a block of metal foam which had an average pore diameter of 0.3 mm by crushing it parallel to its axis in the ratio 3:1 and the air holes 2 were cut at the same time. This compression yields an anisotropic element. The compression converted the pores (which were originally irregular dodecahedra in shape) to voids which were thin in the vertical direction.
A fuel feed pipe 3 was affixed to the underside of the element by means of an adhesive. This feed pipe 3 has fuel outlets 13 of suitable shape e.g. circular holes, slits etc. on the top side and in contact with the under side of the element 1. The fuel outlets 13 are distributed so as to give an even distribution of fuel across the element 1 when fuel is pumped into the fuel feed pipe 3.
On the underside of the fuel feed pipe 3 there is provided a drain trough 4 so as to collect any excess fuel that may drip down from the fuel outlets 13.
FIG. 2 shows a top view of the foam metal burner element 1. For kerosine fuel, the optimum thickness of the element was of the order 1 mm. A slightly thicker element was used when the fuel used was gas oil.
For a typical burner element with circular air holes the dimensions are as follows:
Length 245 mmBreadth 45 mmThickness 1.2 mmDiameter of air holes 3.0 mmNo. of air holes 480Total Area of air holes 3395 mm2
FIG. 3 shows a further embodiment of the invention in which the fuel feed pipe 3 has two inlet positions for receiving fuel. This arrangement enables a better distribution of fuel in the burner element 1 to be obtained. As the fuel is supplied to the feed pipe from header 5 under a small pressure, the burner element 1 becomes saturated with fuel and the excess drips off into the drain trough 4. This means that the element 1 is subjected to continual flushing by fuel and carbon build up as a result of heat or imcomplete combustion is reduced. The excess fuel is collected and recycled by means of drain off line 7.
Air is supplied to underside of element by means of a forced draught i.e. by use of an air pump.
Referring to the system shown in FIG. 4, fuel is transported to the burner element 1 from a fuel storage system 10 situated below the level of the burner by means of a pump 8. The particular pump employed was an electrically operated diaphragm pump. A fuel level control 9 is located in the fuel supply line in between the fuel pump 8 and fuel storage system 10 and is further connected to the fuel drain-off line 7 of the element 1 so as to allow recycling of excess fuel.
The fuel level control 9 is used to avoid the pump 8 sucking back air which would occur if the drain-off line 7 was directly connected to the pump inlet tube 11.
In use of the burner system, fuel is pumped from the fuel level control 9 then along pump inlet tube 11 into the pump 8 and thence along pump outlet tube 12 into the burner element. The fuel pressure supplied to the burner element is only of the order of a few inches water gauge.
If the fuel storage system 10 is situated above the burner element 1, then the fuel level control 9 tray may be mounted inside enclosure 14. Also it is possible to replace the pump 8 and fuel level control 9 with an accurate fuel metering pump.
Automatic ignition is conveniently achieved by an electrical system (not shown in any drawing). The system may comprise either a coil heater for heating and igniting a small area of the element or an electrode for generating sparks in co-operation with the (metal foam) element. To achieve ignition the ignition system is switched on and the fuel is restarted. When the liquid fuel reaches the heated area some vaporises and the vapour is ignited by the sparks. This produces a flame which spreads over the whole area of the burner.
The burners described may comprise part of a domestic central heating appliance, for example, the hot water circulating type. Further the burner system shown in FIG. 4 is not dependent on gravity feed and so makes possible fuel storage below ground or in basements.
It has been found possible to operate the burner system continuously for up to 1000 hours before excessive carbon build up on the element occurs. It has been found that operation on and on-off cycle reduces the rate of carbon build up on the element and thus may further extend burner operating times.

Joker Phillips held his weekly press conference on Monday as Kentucky begins to prepare for a home matchup against Ole Miss on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. The UK head coach addressed a number of different topics, ranging from this week's opponent to his team's injury situation to keeping his Cats confident and motivated. Here are a few of the most prominent storylines:
Newton, Smith to compete at quarterback
Maxwell Smith's strong play in UK's loss to Mississippi State over the weekend led Phillips to say after the game that there would be a competition this week at quarterback between Smith and Morgan Newton. The freshman completed 26-of-33 passes in defeat, orchestrating a Wildcat offense that moved the ball very effectively throughout the second half.
Phillips' tune was the same on Monday. No decision is forthcoming and Phillips said a one may not be made until late in the week. Both Smith and Newton will have opportunities in practice to show they deserve the starting job.
"We will compete with those two guys this week, see which guy gives us the best chance to win this game," Phillips said. "Both will get reps with the ones and the twos and we'll find out which one and decide which one we feel like gives us the best chance to win versus Ole Miss."
The reasons Smith played on Saturday were ankle and shoulder injuries sustained by Newton. The coaching and training staffs determined the injuries would not allow Newton to protect himself, so Smith stepped in. Phillips said Newton "should be fine" for practice and the game this week and he expects the junior to handle the competition well.
"If you're any type of competitor, and I think Morgan is a big time competitor," Phillips said, "you want the competition."
Phillips strongest evidence of Newton's competitiveness and dedication to the team was his demeanor on the sideline while Smith was in the game.
"When Max Smith was in the game on the sideline, I went over to try to find Morgan, and he's sitting beside Max and talking to him about here's what's going on," Phillips said. "A guy who doesn't want the competition would have said, 'hey, you're on your own, big fella.' But Morgan was trying to help him, help this football team."
Just a week ago, it appeared Newton was in line to start the rest of the season. Smith had struggled in his two previous appearances in relief and seemed headed for another rough outing against Mississippi State, taking a sack on his first play, but he settled in from there.
Smith was praised for his work ethic and dedication during the summer, but with school work and the fact he's been the backup, his intensity may not have been quite as high as the season has progressed. Phillips expects him to return his summer form having gotten a taste of action this week and having to put into practice everything he thought he knew when he was watching from the sideline.
"The intensity level is not as (high) as it was in the summer because it's just human nature," Phillips said. "He hasn't been a starter, and I think that'll change here this week, because a lot of times when you don't play, you think you know more than you really know."
Wildcats not lacking drive, determination
With preseason talk about competing for titles in 2011, UK's 3-5 start to the season has been disappointing to players and coaches alike. With some of those goals for year out of reach, motivation and effort would seem to a concern the rest of the way, but Phillips has seen no reason
"Our guys have shown up every week and went about their business the right way," Phillips said. "This is an important week because it gets tougher and tougher every week. You know, some of your goals start slipping away from you every week now. So we have to continue to keep them going, but thus far it has not been very tough (keeping players focused and motivated)."
The Wildcats had their sights set on bigger things coming into 2011, but there is plenty to play for over the final four games.
"We've still got a chance to have a special season," Phillip said. "(We) still (have) a chance to reach some of our goals. You have to get up every week. Everybody's in this game to play, and when you come to play, you have to play with emotion."
Big play ability of Ole Miss presents challenges
Like UK, Ole Miss has struggled in SEC play this season, as the Rebels are 0-5. Early in the season, the Rebels were unable to move the ball consistently on offense, but have since inserted Randall Mackey as full-time starter and have made progress. Ole Miss has scored 47 points in its last two SEC games and averaged 376 total yards. Of particular concern is the offense's "home run ability."
Running back Brandon Bolden averages 5.7 yards per carry, while fellow back Jeff Scott leads the team with 472 yards on the ground. Scott is also a dynamic returner and has taken a punt back for a touchdown.
"They're averaging 27 yards punt return, which is huge," Phillips said. "I'm not sure we've had 27 (punt return) yards total all year."
Defensively, Phillips pointed out linebacker Mike Marry and cornerback Charles Sawyer as players to watch out for. Marry leads the team with 63 tackles, 4.5 of which have gone for loss, while Sawyer has four interceptions on the season including one he took back for a 96-yard touchdown.
Sanders, other injured Cats healing well
Running back Raymond Sanders missed the Mississippi State game with a sprained ankle, but has improved enough that he is expected to practice on Tuesday. Other Wildcats coping with injury are fullback D.J. Warren, defensive tackle Mister Cobble and running back CoShik Williams are all preparing as if they will play Saturday.

Stocks slide as impasse over budget deficit looms
NEW YORK — Investors drew little hope Wednesday for a quick compromise in U.S. budget talks after President Barack Obama insisted that higher taxes on wealthy Americans would have to be part of any deal.
Stocks fell sharply, and even a signal from the Federal Reserve that it could launch a program in December to speed job growth failed to encourage investors. The Dow Jones industrial average dropped 185 points.
Obama made clear he would seek higher tax revenue from the wealthiest Americans, which faces opposition among some Republicans in Congress. Obama said that a modest increase on the wealthy "is not going to break their backs."
"The Street was looking for him to say some magic buzzwords about avoiding the 'fiscal cliff,' about cooperation," Sal Arnuk of Themis trading, a New Jersey brokerage. Instead, Arnuk said, the remarks were "unyielding."
The "cliff" is a package of tax increases and government spending cuts that will take effect Jan. 1 unless Obama and Congress reach a deal first. They would total about $700 billion for 2013 and could send the country back into recession.
Stocks have fallen steadily since voters returned Obama and a divided Congress to power Nov. 6. The Dow has fallen 675 points, including three single-day drops of more than 100 points.
The Standard & Poor's 500 index has dropped 5 percent in that time, returning to where it stood in late July.
"Investors' hopes that the election would end uncertainty remain unfulfilled," said Lawrence Creatura, a portfolio manager at Federated Investors in Rochester, N.Y. "It's very tough to determine what happens next."
Obama said Wednesday that he would not to cave to Republicans who have pressed for tax cuts first passed by President George W. Bush to be extended for all income earners.

There seems to be no end to all the bad news that is being shown on TV. All we here about is the still declining economy with no end in sight.
The cost of everything is constantly rising but our incomes are not keeping up, if we are lucky enough to have a job. Unemployment is at its highest, along with the cost of produce and everything else.
Companies have increased their costs to the public due to the ever increasing price of fuel, but when the price of fuel goes down, does anyone lower their prices? No, of course not.
On the evening news we here about all the crimes being committed and how people are doing horrible things to other people. We here about missing babies and we pray for their safe return while wondering who could take an innocent child from it's parents.
There are stories about people so poor, they can't buy food for the families and most of us want to help but cannot because we have nothing to give and can't keep up with our own families needs.
It seems that, as our world seems to be getting smaller (figuratively speaking), our problems keep getting larger.
We can only pray that things will improve. Or can we?????

The Price of Greatness
I heard on the radio the other day that it's probably the biggest thing that's ever come to Denver. They were talking about the Democratic National Convention, of course. And they're right … it is big. The local news has been dominated this week by headlines from the convention.
All this political hype has me…
