Arizona Cardinals
Behind Enemy Lines: Houston Texans
The Arizona Cardinals come off their bye facing a very similar situation to the one they face before the midseason hiatus: a home contest against a preseason title contender who has since fallen on hard times.
In Week 8, Arizona took full advantage of the situation, putting together a complete performance in a 27-13 rout of the Atlanta Falcons.
Sunday's opponent, the Houston Texans, have made the playoffs each of the last two seasons -- a trend that doesn't look like it'll continue in 2013.
Houston's latest loss all but killed any momentum the team attempted to create heading into the second half of their campaign.
Rookie quarterback Case Keenum's three first-half touchdowns had the Texans up 21-3 on the Indianapolis Colts going into halftime, but all that became a footnote as head coach Gary Kubiak collapsed while running off the field.
While the Texans announced that Kubiak did not suffer a heart attack, his absence proved to be too much to overcome.
Andrew Luck connected with T.Y. Hilton for three second half scores, and the Colts came all the way back to win 27-24.
Kubiak's status is still unknown for Sunday's game at University of Phoenix Stadium, much like the state of his team at this point.
For a team many expected to complete for the AFC crown, the Texans have fallen awfully from the ranks awfully quickly.
Here's what's happening in Houston as the Texans get ready for a trip to the desert.
Saturday, November 9
� Arian Foster out against Cards (ESPN.com)
Houston Texans running back Arian Foster has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals, interim coach Wade Phillips said Friday.
Foster suffered a back injury in the first series against the Indianapolis Colts in last Sunday night's game.
� Texans' offense finally opens up under Case Keenum (Chron.com)
The second-year QB and former third-stringer tied a franchise record by completing six passes of at least 25 yards during his NFL debut Oct. 20 at Kansas City. The anomaly became a mini-trend last Sunday during a 27-24 home loss to Indianapolis, when Keenum hit veteran wide receiver Andre Johnson for first-half touchdown connections of 62, 41 and 25 yards.
� Wade Phillips talks Cardinals' QB-WR combo (Chron.com)
"I have great respect for (quarterback) Carson Palmer, Phillips said. "The guy has done it for a long time and done it really well for a long time. Then, when you've got a receiver like (Larry) Fitzgerald, obviously he can make plays on par with a guy like Andre (Johnson)."
� Texans' Bullock says he faces career-defining moment (Chron.com)
Five days after going 1-for-4 on field-goal attempts and missing a potential game-tying kick during a 27-24 loss to Indianapolis, the second-year kicker acknowledged his NFL status could be defined by how he responds to the worst game of his career.
Friday, November 8
� Ed Reed didn't initially accept demotion well (ESPN.com)
At first Houston Texans safety Ed Reed gave the stock answer when asked about not starting Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts -- by his recollection it was the first time since 1999 that he was a healthy non-starter in a football game.
� Five things to watch: Texans at Cardinals (HoustonTexans.com)
Here are five things to watch when the Texans face the Cardinals in Week 10 at the University of Phoenix Stadium.
� Texans Release Veteran Inside Linebacker (CBS Houston)
The Houston Texans announced on Friday that they have released veteran inside linebacker Tavares Gooden and signed cornerback Josh Victorian to the active roster.
� Antonio Smith on bullying, hate (ESPN.com)
On Monday, a day after Richie Incognito was suspended indefinitely for conduct detrimental to the Dolphins, Texans defensive end Antonio Smith was asked if the allegations that Incognito bullied a teammate, threatened him and used a racial slur toward him surprised Smith.
"Definitely not," Smith replied.
� Double Coverage: Cardinals vs. Texans (ESPN.com)
ESPN.com Cardinals reporter Josh Weinfuss and Texans reporter Tania Ganguli discuss Sunday's matchup.
� Pressure Points: Watt Down Season? (MMQB.com)
His stats have fallen sharply, but the 2012 Defensive Player of the Year remains as dominant as ever for the Texans
� Kubiak's visit to practice gives Texans a lift (Houston Chronicle)
"It was kinda cool, like seeing a buddy," center Chris Myers said. Defensive end Antonio Smith termed the coach's presence "a breath of fresh air. � Everybody was wondering how he's really doing. Is he really worse than what they said? But he was right there in front of us, doing good."
� Texans show (poetic?) emotion for Gary Kubiak (Chron.com)
Kubiak hinted so Thursday while making a brief appearance at the end of practice. Jones smiled and laughed while denying he's ever put pen to paper. Several Texans said Jones has a surprisingly soft touch with charming words. But no one could produce proof of anything resembling a written tribute to a coach who returned to Reliant Stadium just four days after suffering a mid-game mini-stroke.
Thursday, November 7
� Gary Kubiak visits Texans (ESPN.com)
Texans coach Gary Kubiak made an appearance near the end of practice Thursday, visiting the team as he recovers from a transient ischemic attack he suffered during Sunday night's 27-24 loss to the Indianapolis Colts.
� What happens to Texans' rookies? (ESPN.com)
I checked in with a few Texans players about their thoughts on the matter. I will post some thoughts from left tackle Duane Brown later. Remember, Brown defended Dolphins guard Richie Incognito after his most recent spat with Texans defensive end Antonio Smith. Incognito and Brown played alongside each other at the Pro Bowl this year.
� Texans different with Dennison calling plays? (CSN Houston)
According to T.J. Yates, who has been with the Texans since 2011, head coach Gary Kubiak and offensive coordinator Rick Dennison just seem to know what the other is thinking.
� Phillips non-commital on Reed as starter (CSN Houston)
"Mostly matchups, you know, what we feel like each week, how we match up and what we need to do," Phillips said. "And Keo's done some good things. Obviously he had a big interception in the Kansas City game when we were one point behind that gave us a chance to win the ballgame. So we think Keo has done some good things."
� Deji Karim likely 3rd RB if Arian Foster is out (HoustonTexans.com)
If Foster doesn't play, the duo of Ben Tate and Dennis Johnson would likely be the first two running backs to get carries. Phillips detailed who the third ball-carrier would likely be.
� Awkward between Keenum, Schaub? No way, Texans' starting QB says (Chron.com)
"He couldn't be a better guy through the whole thing," Keenum said. "I'm extremely proud to know him. He's still giving advice without me asking, just being there for me for whatever I need. I can't say enough about him. He's one of the best guys I know. I'm really fortunate to have him in our quarterback room."
Wednesday, November 6
� Texans will stick with Randy Bullock (ESPN.com)
"We're going to continue to go with Randy," interim head coach Wade Philips said. "He certainly knows and we told him, and everybody else knows, he's got to get it done. That's the bottom line, is production. He started out poorly and started kicking really well. I think he got away from his technique a little bit last game and we feel like we can get him back to that."
� Arian Foster misses practice (ESPN.com)
Running back Arian Foster missed practice on Wednesday as he was with doctors having a back injury diagnosed, Texans interim head coach Wade Phillips said.
� Texans' Wade Phillips takes a joking shot at Cowboys media (Chron.com)
"Besides having a good parking place, I get to be with the media a little more, too," Phillips said during a press conference at Reliant Stadium. "That's something I really miss, especially in Dallas."
� Texans' Kubiak has contacted Phillips, Dennison (Chron.com)
There still isn't a timetable for Gary Kubiak's return to the Texans. But the team's coach has been in contact with defensive coordinator Wade Phillips and offensive coordinator Rick Dennison since suffering a mini-stroke last Sunday against Indianapolis at Reliant Stadium.
� Midseason Report: Houston Texans (ESPN.com)
The Texans haven't admitted defeat on the season yet, but time is running out to turn it around. Here's a look at how each unit has played so far.
� Kubiak released from hospital (ESPN.com)
The Texans did not say when Kubiak will resume his coaching duties. Kubiak suffered the attack while leaving the field at halftime of Sunday night's loss to the Indianapolis Colts.
� Gary Kubiak heads home from the hospital (HoustonTexans.com)
Houston Texans Head Coach Gary Kubiak was released from Houston Methodist Hospital today. After multiple tests and diagnostics, it was concluded Kubiak experienced a transient ischemic attack (TIA). He is expected to make a full recovery. It has not been determined when Kubiak will return to Reliant Stadium to resume his head coaching duties.
� Andre Johnson talks TDs (HoustonTexans.com)
Quarterbacks coach Karl Dorrell predicted a big game for Andre Johnson against Indianapolis. The veteran wide receiver had a brief conversation with Dorrell just hours before kickoff.
"When I as leaving the hotel on Sunday, he (Dorrell) said, �Don't be surprised if you get three touchdowns," Johnson recalls.
Tuesday, November 5
� Texans' Kubiak cleared to return home; Phillips expected to coach vs. Cardinals (Chron.com)
Phillips took over for Kubiak when the head coach collapsed during halftime against Indianapolis last Sunday at Reliant Stadium. The Texans eventually fell 27-24 to the Colts.
� Wade Phillips runs practice in Kubiak's absence (ESPN.com)
Players know about what the public knows. That Kubiak is in good spirits and that he'll spend another night in the hospital. Receiver Andre Johnson, the only player on the team who predates Kubiak, thinks Kubiak will coach on Sunday. He's basing that on what he knows about Kubiak's passion for the game.
� Texans to look at three kickers (MyFoxHouston)
Former Texans kickers Neil Rackers and Shayne Graham will workout for team officials and coaches, along with Justin Medlock, who was released by the Oakland Raiders in training camp.
� Bullock needs to straighten up, or he'll get the boot (Chron.com)
Bullock missed three field-goal attempts in the 27-24 loss to Indianapolis. He misfired from 49, 43 and 55 yards. He has connected on 13 of 21 but has failed on four attempts from the 50 and beyond.
� Texans practice bizarre without Kubiak (CSN Houston)
In the interim on Monday, defensive coordinator Wade Phillips ran the light practice and led the team meeting. Phillips took over head coaching duties for the second half of the loss to the Colts on Sunday night. The team has not made a decision about an interim coach going forward and it's still unclear if Kubiak will be able to coach next Sunday in Arizona.
� Update on head coach Gary Kubiak's condition (HoustonTexans.com)
"Our primary concern is of course with Gary's health and well-being," Texans Executive VP of Football Operations and General Manager Rick Smith said. "There have been so many people throughout the city and across the country that have reached out to express their love and support and we are thankful for everyone's thoughts and prayers. Gary is alert, coherent and in good spirits. He is continuing to be evaluated and monitored."
Monday, October 4
� Gary Kubiak in hospital after collapse (ESPN.com)
Those in touch with Gary Kubiak's family said Monday morning that the Houston Texans coach is "feeling good" after he collapsed at halftime of his team's game against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday night.
� Texans describe shock of watching Gary Kubiak collapse on field (Chron.com)
Left tackle Duane Brown said there's a consistency with the Texans: seeing coach Gary Kubiak's truck parked early in the morning and late at night at the team's practice facility.
"He puts in work, man. He's here all the time," said Brown, following the Texans' 27-24 defeat to the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday night at Reliant Stadium. "I can't remember a day when I've come here and haven't seen his truck outside or seen him walking through the halls."
� Could Texans choose Tate over Foster? (ESPN.com Insider)
Much of the talk regarding how the Texans backfield will look next season has revolved around the notion that Tate likely is destined to leave as an unrestricted free agent during the offseason while Arian Foster stays put, but could it be the other way around?
Could the Texans reconsider their situation and re-sign Tate and let the now oft-injured Foster go instead?
� Reading The Coverage: Keenum revitalizes Johnson (ESPN.com)
Andre Johnson's connection with Case Keenum in the first half was something to behold. The difference is in the quarterback, writes Chris Baldwin of Houston Culture Map.
� Tough times back for Johnson, Texans (CSNHouston.com)
The last two years - two AFC titles - were extra sweet for Andre Johnson. The longtime Texans receiver endured years of bad teams with little excitement that didn't make the postseason.
� Kubiak scare no excuse for loss (CSN Houston.com)
Some Texans were still in the tunnel when they heard head coach Gary Kubiak had collapsed just after the end of the first half. Others were in the locker room. Andre Johnson was on the trainer's table getting an IV.

She returned to Toronto where she became Instructor at the OCA. She was influenced in her painting somewhat by the Group of Seven. Her greatest individuality was reached in her flower studies. In these she was encouraged by Robert Holmes. Most of her flower studies were done at her summer home in the Parry Sound District at Ahmic Harbour where she found 150 varieties of wild flowers. She did murals on North American Indian legends for the National Museum of Canada, Ottawa. She worked in oils, water colours, pastels, charcoal, crayon, pen and ink and lithography. She illustrated Rambles of a Canadian Naturalist (1916) by T.S. Woods and The Brave Little People by Dorothy Campbell. She studied sculpture under Emanuel Hahn but discontinued this medium. She travelled widely and took part in many important group shows. Her work was exhibited in Toronto at Eaton's, Laing, Malloney and Mellors galleries and elsewhere. She is represented in the following collections: Women's Art Assoc., Owen Sound; St. Joseph's, Guelph; AEAC, Kingst., Ont.; HAG, Ont.; Sarnia Public Library; Alma College, St. Thomas; St. Hilda's College, Tor. and many private collections. She was a member of the OSA; FCA; Life Fellow, Intl. Inst. of Arts & Letters and other societies. She died in St. Catharines at the age of 97.

CHEYENNE - The nonresident elk deadline for this year has now passed and the next upcoming deadline for both resident and nonresident hunters is Feb. 28 when applications must be in for moose, bighorn sheep, mountain goat and wild bison.
As with other hunting application deadlines, the application must be submitted by 5 p.m on the deadline date. After 5 p.m. on Feb. 28, the online application system will no longer accept moose, bighorn sheep, and mountain goat and wild bison applications. Bison hunters are reminded that starting this year, applicants are required to submit the full license fee at the time of application, as is required for all other species. The license fees for a Wyoming resident are $263 for a female/calf wild bison license and $413 for the any wild bison license. The nonresident license fees are $1,022 for a female/calf wild bison license and $2,522 for an any wild bison license.
Hunters can only apply online through the Game and Fish website wgfd.wyo.gov. The paper application process has been phased out as the online application process has proven to be much more efficient and accurate and is easier for hunters to ensure their applications are received in advance of the deadline date. It has contributed to a substantial cost savings over the old process.
Drawing odds vary depending on species and hunt area. Preference points have been available for both moose and bighorn sheep for 18 years and 75 percent of the quotas for each species are issued in the preference point drawing. The remaining 25 percent is issued in a random drawing without regard for preference point totals. Preference points are not available for mountain goat licenses, but goat licenses are limited to one in a lifetime. Hunters can research drawing odds from previous years for the various species and hunt areas on the Game and Fish website wgfd.wyo.gov. Hunters who choose not to apply this year can still purchase a preference point online from July 1 – September 30.

In ZBrush 4 Essential Training, Ryan Kittleson introduces ZBrush to artists making a transition from another sculpting program or who may just need some help with the finer points of this powerful digital arts package. The course covers the most popular tools and techniques for digital painting and sculpting in ZBrush, and explains how to export the models and texture maps to other programs for use in games, film, fine art, or 3D printing. The course also highlights the new features in ZBrush 4, such as ShadowBox, clip brushes, and LightBox. Exercise files are included with the course.
ZBrush allows you to paint with color onto your models using mostly all the same brushes and settings you use for sculpting; the difference is that instead of altering the positions of polygons, you're altering their color. Let's open up the SuperAverageMan and expand the Polypaint subpalette. In order to allow polypainting, we need to turn on Colorize. With Colorize off, changing the color will change the entire model's color.
With Colorize on, we can paint different colors on to different parts. We also need to change the Brush mode from Sculpt to Paint. You do this by turning off Zadd and turning on RGB. The colors that you paint with are controlled here on the left side of the screen. You can move the color pickers around to get any color you want. The swatch on the right is the primary color, and the left one is secondary. Click on the SwitchColor button to swap them. You can also pick a color from anywhere on your model by clicking and dragging on the swatch over to the model.
You can see it's going to pick up white. One thing you want to watch out for is the material that you're using. Right now, it's set to SkinShade4, which is a neutral white material, but let's say, for instance, you were using ReflectOrange. This material comes with a color built into it, so any color that you paint with is going to add to it. You can see here painting with pink isn't quite giving us the same result we're expecting. That's because it's combining the orange with the pink. I am just going to undo that. So if you set it back to a material that has a neutral white color built into it, you will see you will get a more predictable result.
Now this color pink is actually the same that we see in our swatch. Now we can start painting. Simply set your brush size and your color and your brush type and get down to it. Let me zoom in here and show you. I want to set the Draw size a little bit smaller. Now, notice when I paint it's really blocky. This is because polypainting is resolution dependent. It's not painting the surface; it's actually just painting the polygons. So the more polygons you have in your model, the finer the painting you can do.
I am just going to hit Ctrl+D a few times to add subdivisions to the model. Now when I paint the result is much smoother. Take a few moments to experiment with various brushes, colors, and stroke types. Polypainting in ZBrush is a much faster way to color a model than the old method of painting on 2D texture maps.

Start with a sugar-free, (made with Splenda), fat-free, Angel Food Cake. I found these all over NY and they are in my small Idaho town. Hopefully you can too. You can also make one from scratch!
Mix up a large sugar-free, fat-free vanilla pudding mix with skim milk.
Whip 2 cups of heavy whipping cream with a little vanilla extract.
Combine jello pudding and whipped cream.
Put about 1/3 of the pudding-cream mixture in the bottom of a trifle bowl.
Slice and cube 1/2 of your cake.
Toss it on top of pudding-cream mixture.
Add about 1 cup of fresh berries and then cover with another 1/3 of the pudding mixture.
Slice up 1-1/2 fresh kiwi. Save the extra half for the top.
Whip 1 more cup of heavy cream. I like to sweeten mine with about half a dropper of liquid stevia, or Splenda works well too. Add a little vanilla and top the trifle, right up to the top of the bowl.
After chilling, the trifle may settle a little. Hopefully, you have a little more cream and can fill it to the top again. Add more fresh berries, remaining kiwi, and toasted nuts, if like me, you enjoy a little crunch.
Yesterday we shared our low-carb trifle with this amazing mom-daughter duo. "Adorable-Daughter," after learning about the effects of sugar, health challenges and weight gain, set a goal to avoid sugar in her diet. Her

Photo: Clockwise from top left: Kerbs, Long Gone Don, Travis and Gene get another kind of workout; Travis's legs do the talking for him at the edge of White Canyon and the Circle Cliffs; the author rolls through the starting gate on Burr Trail; Ariel and Abbey crank through the spectacular sandstone of Long Canyon (Lin Alder)
I pulled up a few miles west of Brian Head's cobbled summit and unclipped. I wanted a minute to stare at the strangely pink landscape of Cedar Breaks National Monument. It was fractured and surreal and stunning, and I wondered how it was possible that simple geologic forces could create something so artful and apocalyptic. I also wondered whether one of my lungs had just collapsed.
Except for a fair amount of deadfall, the trail that we encountered on our first day of riding had started out smoother than 30-year-old Glenfiddich, but the piddliest climbs had me gasping for breath, and I'd already fallen behind the others.
My situation, once I thought about it, was pretty easy to understand. I'd had all of 45 minutes--roughly the time it took our group of 10 riders to tumble out of Vinnie's van, suit up and strap on helmets--to acclimatize to 11,000-plus feet. My East Coast, sea-level blood was not taking this oxygen shortage lightly, and as it turned out everyone else lived out West, up above 5,000 feet. For another thing, I'm much more of a roadie than a mountain biker, and for yet another, I'm 6-foot-7, so I was correct in my hunch that the borrowed ride would be uncomfortably small. Also, Vinnie had stockpiled a roster of serious fat-tire talent. Among us were two cross-country mountain bike pros (Ariel and his girlfriend, Abbey); a downhill pro (Willy); a former pro turned downhill instructor (Gene); an adventure racer (Don) whose recent exploits included a 50-mile run up Oregon's Mt. Hood; and two industry reps who log serious saddle time (Kerbs and Nate). Our driver and cook, Travis, summed up the collective sensibility of Vinnie's recruits: He sports a "Live to Ride" tattoo on his left calf, and, on the right, in the same Gothic script, another that says, "Ride to Live."
As we dropped down off Brian Head, the group caught lots of air and gave itself over to the call of speed on steep drops, yet still took breaks here and there to watch red-tailed hawks and bald eagles soar on the thermals. The singletrack grew increasingly technical--leading to plenty of oh-crap moments for me--as we descended through stunning forests of aspen swaying like hula dancers in the wind, their gold leaves raining down. "It's snowing aspens," said Lin, Vinnie's co-organizer. Then we spilled out onto rollicking dirt roads with little camel's-hump hills and went whooping up and down, dropping, dropping, dropping all the way to 6,000 feet, to the pavement of Highway 143, where we hammered for 15 miles or so to an hour's ride on a dirt road, then onto a blacktop bike trail that led up into Red Canyon. We pedaled past our first official red rock--house-of-wax spires, plus a couple of sandstone windows leaking purplish late-day sky--and made camp with a 44-mile day behind us.
Travis grilled caveman-cut steaks over charcoal, and there was icy Old Chub and Rainier beer. Kerbs held court on the subject of women he's known and loved, however briefly. ("Nurses, they get wrong fast," he said admiringly.) Willy, not one to be upstaged, matched him beer for beer and story for bawdy story. When I finally wandered away from the campfire's magnetic pull, the desert night at 7,000 feet was so big and autumn-cold and beautifully blown open with stars it almost hurt to look at it.
We began day two on the route's toughest singletrack--it climbed at harsh angles and rattled over roots the size of Michael Moore's thighs, and made sidehill cuts the width of credit cards. I dabbed and dabbed. By afternoon, we'd spilled back out onto jeep roads that led to the whopping Powell Point ascent, where Kerbs's knee caved in.
His joint wasn't the only casualty. Driving down the last impossibly narrow dirt road to the Powell Point campsite, it took Travis 90 minutes to go 3 miles. Trees kept snagging bikes on the roof.
"Rocky Mountain pinstripes," Kerbs boomed. "Free of charge!"
Then Travis bounced too fast over a log, causing it to ricochet up and spear the trailer. We all scrambled to check the damage. The box-shaped hitch-on looked like the loser of a jousting scene in El Cid.
Still, the mere fact that most of us even attempted the climb to Powell Point had already given us some sort of victory over the only other group ever known to have attempted a version of this route. Back in 1990, a local tourist official named Jean Seiler traced her finger over roughly the same lines on a map and thought she saw promising adventure-tourism potential. But that group of seven pioneers included only one serious rider and showed no interest in the challenges most cyclists normally associate with biking--which is to say, the climbs. The trip account, immortalized in a local guidebook, alternates between describing lush, extravagant landscapes and lush, extravagant buffet lunches in Boulder and Escalante. The riders slept in lodges and rode only downhill, and thus created a trip that appealed to no one: The watered-down, tourist-board version was too rugged for the soft-adventure crowd and too lame for hard-core mountain bikers. The dream had gone into hibernation for 15 years, awaiting an inspired and fearless new trip leader--either that, or someone with enough insurance to cover a support van sliding off a cliff.
The ride, as it is said, would have to be believed to be seen.

2007 Lobo Fall Showcase
Download Free Acrobat Reader
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.-- The University of New Mexico baseball program will be holding a hitting camp and fall showcase for New Mexico youth in late October and early November.
The 2007 Fall Hitters camp will span five weeks of Sundays, beginning Oct. 21 through Nov. 18, in order to build hitting skills on a week-to-week basis. The camp is open to youth ages six to 18 and is designed to provide instruction and exposure to the fundamentals of hitting. Lobo head coach Ray Birmingham and his staff along with current and former players will be out on the diamond providing the instruction, feedback and fun.
"The camp will be a tremendous experience for the young kids," Birmingham said. "For the older kids, it will be extremely educational to learn the right process and swings so that it will make them better hitters."
The 2007 Fall Showcase will be featured on the weekend of Nov. 3-4. High school players from around the state ages 16-18 who are interested in playing baseball at a collegiate level have the option of attending the Saturday or Sunday session. Each day's events include morning instruction, a recruitment seminar and an afternoon game. Showcase participants will be on the field working directly with players and coaches on skill development and technique instruction.
"It will help high school players understand how to play the game and it will help them understand how to get into college," Birmingham said. "It will be a very, very enlightening situation for kids who want to play college baseball. It will help them see the directions they can go playing college baseball."
For more information or to register, visit the baseball page of golobos.com or contact Ken Jacome at 505-925-5721 or Chad Tidwell at 505-925-5567. The registration deadline for the Fall Showcase is Wednesday, October 31.

I felt so unclean after running windowsxp for a week, that I dumped both KDE and Gnome on linux and tried a few different window managers. After trying the majority, I settled on my old friend Enlightenment. It has all the eye candy that I like to load up on windows, but the distinctive feel of linux. PLUS, I have to work at it a little harder to tweak it out just right…and it is oh so tweakable. Of coure, for Enlightenment, I don't create my own eye candy yet, but lots of other people are glad to share theirs.

Retrial postponed for ex-N.O. cop in Katrina case
A federal judge has postponed the retrial of a retired New Orleans police sergeant charged with helping cover up deadly shootings on a bridge after Hurricane Katrina.
Gerard Dugue's retrial was scheduled to start May 13. U.S. District Judge Kurt Engelhardt didn't immediately set a new date. Engelhardt said he is waiting to receive more information related to a pretrial motion by Dugue's attorneys.
Dugue's first trial ended in a mistrial when Engelhardt ruled a prosecutor may have unfairly influenced the jury by mentioning the name of a man beaten to death by a New Orleans police officer in an unrelated case.
Police shot six unarmed residents, killing two, on the Danziger Bridge several days after the 2005 storm. Dugue is charged with writing a false report on the shootings.

But there are other cool things you can do with a simple gesture. For example, within the mail app, swiping from left to right from the very edge of your iPhone's screen can take you from a specific inbox to your list of all inboxes. The same gesture works for going back to a previous page and forward to the next page in the Safari browser, which is a great way to return to a search results page.

NORTH RIDGEVILLE, Ohio (AP) - Authorities say a Cleveland-area man has been arrested for carrying a gun, ammunition and several knives into a showing of the "The Dark Knight Returns."
Police in North Ridgeville say a manager was suspicious of the man and his satchel when he entered the theater for the 10 p.m. Saturday showing of the Batman movie.
The (Cleveland) Plain Dealer (http://bit.ly/N06ADn ) reports that the manager and an off-duty police officer working security searched the bag and found the weapons. He was arrested without incident. His home was searched Monday night.
The suspect's name and other details have not been released.
A 24-year-old man is charged with killing 12 people and wounding 58 at a midnight showing of the "The Dark Knight Returns" in Aurora, Colo., on July 20.

About Strategic Enrollment Management
Strategic Enrollment Management (SEM) is holistic data driven approach to shaping institutional enrollment goals. SEM seeks an optimal mix of students with a predetermined likelihood for success based on institutional academic and co-curricular offerings. At UNO, we use a collaborative approach to ensure campus-wide services, academic programs, and student services are aligned with our institution's enrollment goals.
About Strategic Enrollment Management at UNO - A message from Chancellor Christensen
Serving students is at the heart of all we are, do and aspire to as an institution. Serving them well, from their first inquiries as prospective students, all the way through to graduation, is central to the University of Nebraska, Omaha's (UNO) mission and a primary focus of all campus activities. During the state of the university address, I announced our intent to reach an enrollment target of 20,000 students by 2020 – a goal that I believe is both attainable, and vital to our continued development as a premier metropolitan university.
To achieve this goal, we must approach the critical phases of recruitment, enrollment and retention with a cohesive and comprehensive UNO Strategic Enrollment Management Plan. To guide our efforts, I am announcing the creation of an Enrollment Management Executive Committee, chaired by Dr. Pelema I. Morrice, Assistant Vice Chancellor for Enrollment Services. This committee will report directly to the Chancellor's office. I am also announcing the appointment of the consulting firm of Noel-Levitz to help in the development of UNO's Strategic Enrollment Management Plan. Noel-Levitz is highly regarded as the nation's top enrollment management firm with a proven track record of success, helping institutions such as: University of Colorado, Boulder, the University of Massachusetts, and Temple University, achieve their student enrollment goals.
Periodic campus forums dedicated to enrollment management will be scheduled to update the campus community and a campus-wide task force will be created to seek ideas, opinions and participation. I invite you to participate in these meetings as I truly believe everyone on campus plays an important role in student recruitment, retention and the overall student experience at UNO. Our success in this process depends on total campus involvement and commitment, and I look forward to your thoughts and assistance.
- Dr. John Christensen
- Chancellor
Timeline - A list of the events and tasks that the UNO community and the Enrollment Management Executive Committee have done and will do for this effort
Resources - Articles, presentations, meeting notes and other materials that give more context about SEM at UNO.

Every year hundreds of cruising sailors finish their cruising in the Pacific, their visits to New Zealand and Australia and are ready for their next great adventure - Asia.
Sailing beautiful Indonesia
In addition, New Zealand and Australian cruising sailors head north in the same rallies, heading for their own adventures.
Sail Indonesia is one of the rallies which traditionally depart just at the right time to start cruising the thousands of friendly islands that make up Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand. A fewer number turn north west and head for Vietnam or the Philippines.
Sail Indonesia 2012 will depart from Darwin on Saturday July 28 at 11 am and during the following three months all participants are invited to participate in a linked series of Events and Cultural Festivals at the different stopovers across Indonesia on the islands of Timor, Banda, Buru, Ternate, Morotai, Lembata, Wakatobi, Flores, Sulawesi, Bali, Java, Borneo, Belitung and finally on to Batam or Bintan just south of Singapore.
Sail Indonesia - saying farewell to the participants
Apart from the fact that joining a rally makes the bureaucracy of getting a cruising permit to visit Indonesia, the involvement of the local administrations at each of the Indonesian islands means that there are events planned at the time that the yachts visit. Often, too, there are ceremonial welcomes, dinners, as well as cultural displays and dance performances which it would be difficult to see otherwise.
It is an entree into the more remote, interesting and less developed parts of Indonesia as you cross the country often away from the well worn tourist areas.
Sail Indonesia Kupang anchorage
Not that each of the stopovers is the same - the peoples and their cultures are different, as are their lifestyles, their art and their food, not to mention completely different languages.
While participants are welcome join all events and stopovers after the first port of entry in Kupang or Saumlaki (and some cruising sailors try to), there is usually just not enough time, so you can join as many, or as few as you like.
The Indonesia Organising Committee at each port provides hospitality, reception and festivities.
Finally the rally will arrive in Singapore, a wonderful stopover, ideal for all marine services that you might need, as well as a break after your long voyage across Indonesia.
Sail Indonesia gets underway from Darwin
For instance, Singapore is home to Raffles Marina, a full-fledged country club, offering a first class range of facilities and services. Located at the west end of Singapore, away from the hustle and bustle of city, with unique nautical surroundings. It also provides easy access to Singapore's best sailing and cruising waters, a full service boat repair yard and dry stack storage for powered boats. Protected by a solid breakwater, it offers the comfort of a safe and calm stay. Shore power services, freshwater supply and Wireless Internet are also available around the clock.
Stunning sea view sunsets, alfresco dining or taking a dip in the landscaped tropical pool are just a few of the treats in store for visitors.
After Indonesia, comes Malaysia. Sail Indonesia is in partnership with Sail Malaysia, and after the Sail Indonesia program across Indonesia, which ends at the end of October one can then sail on to join Sail Malaysia which will take you from Danga Bay located just north of Singapore up the west coast of Malaysia again in a series of linked events finishing at the island of Langkawi in the second week of December.
For information or to register your interest email the organisers at email@example.com. (A special request is that, please, each time you email them, use the name of your yacht in the email subject line.)

Former Maryland basketball manager Zach Lederer has passed away after a long battle with cancer, the program confirmed late Tuesday evening. He was 20 years old.
The story of Lederer's fight against the disease spread quickly across the Internet and quickly brought the Maryland community behind him after he was photographed flexing his muscles from his hospital bed after undergoing brain surgery. The pose was termed "Zaching" and was replicated by teammates and celebrities as a show of solidarity for Lederer.
In January, Lederer was taken off of life support. In the wake of the news, head coach Mark Turgeon and a handful of his players shared their memories of Lederer's time as a manager at Maryland. Turgeon recalled something a colleague sent to him in an email.
"He's only 20 years old and he's touched more people than some people that live to be 80," he recalled. "That just really kind of just tells you … how special Zach is."
Maryland's current managers have painted a mural on the wall of an equipment room in Comcast Center to commemorate the impact he has made on the program. Watch a video of its creation here.
Maryland's official athletics Twitter account announced that a candlelight vigil would be held Tuesday night in his honor. Among the Maryland players (pictured below) who attended the vigil were Seth Allen, Charles Mitchell, Evan Smotrycz, Damonte Dodd, and Jake Layman. Numerous others shared their condolences on social media.

The Journal of Japanese Studies
In 1919 the Japan Lawyers' Association condemned public procurators as "officials run amok" in a widely circulated public report. A corruption investigation known to history as the Pig Box Incident brought "devil procurators" to the fore and stirred the voluntary association to action in the cause of establishing a jury system. In its campaign, the association's leadership held out two hopes: juries would check the procurator's power and connect the public with the courts. Observers hoped that juries would democratize Japan. In the events of 1919, a moment of world historical cynicism, none of these dreams was realized.

The latest PISA test results confirm that 15-year-old students in the U.S. still have significant strides to make to catch up with their peers in other economically advanced countries. Average scores for U.S. students on both math and reading PISA assessments remained virtually unchanged.
To help guide states and policymakers in determining if students who meet college readiness benchmarks are competitive on an international level, ACT conducted a linking analysis to gauge how college readiness benchmark scores on its own assessment for 10th graders, ACT Plan, stack up against PISA scores.
"Rigorous standards have to be supported by assessments that accurately gauge how thoroughly students have grasped those standards," said Wayne Camara, ACT senior vice president of research.
"Our findings indicate that students who meet ACT's benchmarks for college and career readiness are performing at or above the same level as their peers internationally."
The ACT report, Affirming the Goal: Is College and Career Readiness an Internationally Competitive Standard?, showed that students who meet ACT's Grade 10 College Readiness Benchmarks in reading and math are competitive with the performance of same-age students in the highest-performing countries globally. The study was conducted with support and guidance from both the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), which administers the PISA, and the National Center for Education Statistics.
ACT data also show that many students are falling short of college and career readiness. ACT's Condition of College and Career Readiness 2013 report, released in August, found that 64 percent of 2013 U.S. high school graduates who took the ACT college readiness exam met or surpassed the ACT College Readiness Benchmark in English, while only 44 percent met or surpassed the benchmark in math.
Dr. Camara will provide insight into the latest PISA results during the Alliance for Excellent Education's live streaming PISA Day event today. Other featured speakers include U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan and top officials from the Council of Chief State School Officers and the OECD.
ACT's linking analysis was based on 2,248 U.S. 10th grade students from 77 high schools who tested under standardized conditions with both ACT Plan and a special administration of the PISA. Following are among the specific findings of ACT's research:
The ACT College Readiness Benchmark score for reading on ACT Plan is equivalent to a 519 score on PISA reading, which was 26 points higher than the OECD average score in 2009 and 27 points higher than the 2012 average.
In math, meeting ACT's corresponding Grade 10 benchmark score is equivalent to scoring 530 on PISA Mathematics, 34 points higher than the OECD average score in 2009 and 28 points higher than the average score in 2012.
Only eight nations each out of 64 participating countries on the 2009 PISA had average scores that were higher than these ACT benchmark-equivalent scores in reading and math.
ACT is a mission-driven, nonprofit organization dedicated to helping people achieve education and workplace success. Headquartered in Iowa City, Iowa, ACT is trusted as the nation's leader in college and career readiness, providing high-quality achievement assessments grounded in more than 50 years of research and experience. ACT offers a uniquely integrated set of solutions that help people succeed from kindergarten through career, providing insights that unlock potential.

SmartMoney magazine published an interesting article today. The main point of the article is that 2009 was a very good year to start a wine collection, because wine prices have come down drastically due to lack of demand resulting from the weak economic environment.
For collectors interested in starting or adding to their wine collection, the article recommends staying away from "mass-produced" wines, and focusing instead on low-production "crafted" wines from Burgundy or Bordeaux. In addition, stick to highly-rated wines produced in celebrated years.
Most importantly, the article recommends paying close attention to "proper wine storage", which along with the provenance, or history of ownership, can have a surprising impact on value.
We agree! For more information about proper wine storage and related products, please visit www.lecachewinecabinets.com andwww.cellarprocoolingsystems.com.

Welcome to the Celestial Lands!
Celestial Lands began in 2004 as an archive and journal for me (Rev. David Pyle) to collect and store all of my religious essays, quotes, sermons, and Unitarian Universalist worship materials in one, searchable location. It was inspired by the journals that Ralph Waldo Emerson kept throughout his life. The collection of quotes, book notes, essays, and sermons that Emerson kept in his journals was the inspiration for much of his later writing.
I hope one day Celestial Lands will serve a similar role for me.
Emerson spent 5 years simply indexing his journals, but due to the miracle of modern technology, the programs that run Celestial Lands make the journal easy to search, and also allow me access to all of my writing no matter where I am, through the internet.
There are many sections to the Celestial Lands, from my Articles on Liberal Religion, Military Chaplaincy, and Politics, to the Sermons I have presented for Unitarian Universalist and Military congregations, to the Worship Web, where I have collected quotes, readings, chalice lightings and other liturgical elements. Soon, I will re-post the collection of some hard to find classic religious writings in the Celestial Lands Library.
If you participated in a group I was in or led, and I said I would create an online location for us to share resources or contact information, please click the "Connections" link at the top and scroll the list till you find your group.
I (Rev. David Pyle) am a Unitarian Universalist Minister and a U.S. Army Reserve Chaplain. I have served UU congregations in Illinois, Michigan, and California… and have served as a Hospital and Hospice Chaplain in Illinois. I have served U.S. Army Reserve units in Michigan and California as both a Battalion Chaplain and a Combat Support Hospital Chaplain. I currently serve the 71 UU Congregations of Northern Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, Central and Eastern Pennsylvania, Southern New Jersey, and Washington DC as the District Executive of the Joseph Priestley District of the Unitarian Universalist Association of Congregations.
Though Celestial Lands primarily exists as a resource for me and for the congregations I serve, I love to hear back from people. If there is a comment section to to an article, that is an invitation to respond… although I reserve the right to choose whether your comments are posted publicly or not.
Once again, Welcome!

by improperly balanced tires, bad front-end alignment,
or operating an all-wheel drive vehicle with the
front-wheel drive engaged on hard-surfaced roads. This
wear must be documented and turned in for repair.
Tire treads are made for a specific purpose. The type
of equipment you are operating and the type of job you
are performing dictates what type of tire and tread you
should use.
Directional Tread
The directional mud and snow tread (fig. 3-18) is of
a V-design with large spaces between the lugs. The
spaces between the lugs are kept free from snow because
of tire rotation and flexing, therefore improving traction.
A direction tire maybe mounted on the rim only in one
way and delivers traction in one direction only. The
point of the V-design must contact the ground first when
traction is required. When directional tread tires are
mounted on a dead or steering axle (unless the
equipment is all-wheel drive), they are mounted so the
open V meets the ground first (fig. 3-19). This type of
tread is commonly found on graders.
Nondirectional Tread
The nondirectional mud and snow tread design (fig.
3-20) also has large spaces between the lugs. The lugs
are placed perpendicular to the center line of the tire.
This design provides good traction in both directions.
Cross-Country Tread
The cross-country tread (fig. 3-21) is the same as
the mud and snow tread, except that the cross-country
tread has rounded shoulders.
Regular Tread
Regular tread (fig. 3-22) consists of small spaces
between tread patterns. This allows for a quiet ride and

"The way any of that could ever work is where it's visible your heart is true to the material," Ross says. "It works when you're not coming to it with a sense of irony or with a smirk on your face toward the material: "Hey, ya know, I'm just knocking out this comic because they're paying me to do it.' I could have taken the first offer that came my way after Marvels. Marvel's offer to keep me back there was, "Why don't you work with Stan Lee on something? You know, you guys could take one of those old stories and, you know, you could redo it. You like all that old shit, don't you? That's obviously why you did Marvels--because you're a big, old fucking fanboy or something.' They had such an incredibly limited vision for what was possible. But a lot of what's made me successful to a strong degree in this business is that it's obvious I'm a fiend for this stuff. I've been willing to say, look, this stuff is pure to me. It's important to me. Superman or any of these icons have intrinsic value other than the fact they're nostalgic for me. I think that they have a use to the world--period. They're not just stupid and shouldn't be ignored in the fashion that they normally are."
Ross is the closest thing the world of comics has to a superstar: You can't open a copy of The Comics Journal or Wizard or any other comics magazine without finding one or a dozen of his paintings. His art sells for thousands on the Internet (at both his Web site, www.alexrossart.com, and on eBay) and in Warner Bros. Studio Stores in a mall near you. Indeed, he has become his own franchise, hawking everything from Superman sketches to Justice League plates; in September, he will even open up shop on QVC. If the comics industry is indeed staggering toward its deathbed, losing its younger readers to the Internet and video games and its older readers to everything else, Alex Ross has at least provided it with a little mouth-to-mouth.
But, perhaps more important, Ross has become the industry's conscience--though he would just as soon insist he's nothing more than an arrogant, stubborn prick. He takes personally the treatment of these heroes of his childhood, which was spent traveling the country with his father, whom Alex describes as "a liberal minister" (his denomination was United Church of Christ), and mother, also a professional artist. (Ross was born in Portland, but spent many years in Lubbock and DeSoto, Texas, before finally settling in Chicago.) He's offended by Marvel Comics founder Stan Lee's new project, in which he will reinterpret DC's best-known heroes; he is galled by Frank Miller's decision to create a sequel to The Dark Knight Returns. To Ross, both projects smack of nothing more than cynicism, the lure of easy lucre.
"This is not the future, guys," he says. "This is a step backward. If I'm on the top of my game, and I've got as much money as I need at the moment, and I can just choose to do whatever the fuck I want, I'm not going to do anything that's not in my heart's passion. And I'm hoping to keep that the same for the majority of my career."
Ross has indeed resisted the temptation to churn out sequels to Marvels and Kingdom Come--even though DC did publish a dreadful title called The Kingdom without him, which actually featured characters who had been killed off in Kingdom Come. Ross was unhappy about having his vision distorted, but he couldn't help but smirk at the irony: Kingdom Come was intended as a critique not only of heroes, but also of the comic-book marketplace itself. When he began working on the project in 1994 and '95, Ross had become incensed at how publishers were glutting the marketplace with characters, hoping that one of them would stick long enough to pull the industry out of the pit in which it had buried itself. He saw a Superman stripped of his red-yellow-and-blue tights, a Batman with a broken back, a Green Lantern with an orange bowl cut, and was fed up. He wanted to do a comic book that cleaned up such a mess, only to find himself drowned in it.
"You can see how dumb I was, right?" Ross says, sort of chuckling. "It was the kind of thing where it was a really antagonistic situation in that sort of creative room between editor, artist, and myself being odd man out as cover artist. They're looking at me like, "Well, what do you have to contribute?' Well, I fucking created the concept in the first place, you assholes! So, realizing I wasn't so much an essential component to the mix, I took myself out of the situation, and they didn't so much as blink. There was no phone call desperately trying to get me back into it. I did get a letter from the vice president of DC saying, "Sorry it didn't work out.'"

A General Tour is a guided tour with commentary for groups of up to 25 people. They are available seven days a week from mid May to the end of August. From September to mid-May they are open Wednesday to Saturday. Headlamp, helmet and battery pack are included.
The Wild Caving Tour is with an experienced caver directing a group of four people. The brochure describes these tours as giving "privileged access to galleries inaccessible and forbidden to the general public". Horizontal crawling is involved, as is liability insurance. Coveralls and caving hats with headlamp and battery packs are included. Individuals aged 12 and up are accepted.
When the caves were abandoned in 1973, vandals destroyed many of the spectacular speleothems, stalactites and stalagmites were smashed and the interior dulled by smoke from a large fire in the early sixties when a man wanted to dispose of some car tyres. He underestimated the wind flow and died. But, fortunately, the cavern was not forgotten and, in 1995, was cleaned and re-opened. There are about 400 meters of dry galleries, tunnels and in 2002 the chambers on two levels beneath the hillside, where connected via a new 20 metre high staircase allowing the visitor to experience a through trip. The cave is inhabited by bats and the odd porcupine can sometimes be found.
No matter how cold or drizzly outside, the caves stay at a constant, cool temperature, making it an intriguing destination for an early spring day.
Tour tips: Children are welcome and will delight in caving.

Former Obama economic guru, Peter Orszag
Orszag in LaLaLand
Comments | Print friendly | Subscribe | Email Us
A recent column in Newsmax penned by former Obama economic guru, Peter Orszag, attempted to make the case that economic growth in America could be speeded up by simply increasing the number of college grads. Try telling that to the poor schmucks holding an advanced degree and owing over $100,000 in student loans, but unable to find gainful employment.
Orszag's argument is so convoluted that it defies logic and goes a long way toward explaining President Obama's Alice-in-Wonderland economic policies. For openers, Orszag cites the rapid growth in the number of Americans with college degrees between 1960 and 1985, as graduation rates more than doubled during those years and presumably spurred economic growth. He then cites a corresponding abatement in graduation rates over the past 30 years, showing the number of graduates increasing by a mere 50%, and offers the opinion that said reduction in the rate of graduates has "exacerbated inequality and crimped growth."
In point of fact, the slowdown in the number of individuals graduating from college has very little to do with inequality and even less with reduced growth. It's very likely the other way around. Most, if not all the poverty and inequality can be directly ascribed to government policies over the past three presidencies, with the biggest and most significant economic decline directly ascribable to the current occupant of the White House.
Undeterred, Orszag calls for a doubling down student aid to make it financially easier for individuals to attend college. He cites a plethora of evidence, including studies by Harvard and Stanford types that support the position that if it's easier to get financial aid for college, more people will attend. D'uh! And if you walk in the rain without an umbrella your hair will get wet.
Orszag was director of the Office of Management and Budget during the first Obama administration and is now vice chairman of corporate investment banking at Citigroup Inc. It's clear that his job with Citigroup is more because of his political connections than his intellect. When taking into account that federal debt has gone from $10 trillion to $17.5 trillion between fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2013, an increase of 75%, it pretty much makes anything Orszag has to say questionable, particularly in light of the fact that the Obama Administration is the first administration that's ever worked without a budget.
Increasing economic growth by increasing the number of college grads is yet another of those questionable opinions borne of individuals who are clueless. Orszag clearly has mixed up his cause with his effect. The reason there was such a steep increase in college grads between 1960 and 1985 is because the economy could absorb an increased number of grads with meaningful jobs. The reduced percentage of college grads could be ascribed to any number of other reasons, not the least of which is that the economy has been in the toilet for over 5 years.
While I doubt that anyone will take Orszag's article seriously, it certainly illustrates the mindset of those responsible for what passes today as government economic policy.

Juneau police are warning citizens to be aware of homemade explosive devices after a Juneau man was injured on Thursday night.
Sargent Chris Gifford says the 68-year old Jennifer Drive resident suffered non-life threatening injuries to his hand after picking up a bottle, described as a 'pressure bomb,' that was left in his driveway.
He was treated at Bartlett Regional Hospital.
The bottle may have been left by occupants of suspicious vehicle in the neighborhood and exploded in his hand after he picked it up.
"The Juneau Police Department would also like to remind citizens that these devices are explosion hazard, they are unpredictable, and they can cause serious injury or death," said Gifford.
He declined to explain in detail how the explosive worked because he did not want to give other people ideas about how to create more of them.
"These are items comprised of a plastic container with compounds inside used to create a mechanical explosion," said Gifford.
Social media was active on Friday morning with warnings from Juneau residents not to pick up suspicious-looking plastic drink bottles.

New London — Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio on Monday announced that he will appoint New London native Jonathan Ayala as the new city clerk and registrar of vital statistics.
Ayala, 32, graduated from New London High School in 2000 and served in the U.S. Army from 2001 until 2007. He currently manages personnel records for the Department of the Navy as a civilian human resources assistant.
In 2012, Ayala graduated from Three Rivers Community College with an associate's degree. Last year, he completed his bachelor's degree in business management from Eastern Connecticut State University with honors. He is pursuing a master's degree in business administration at Liberty University.
When he is sworn in, Ayala will become the city's first Latino city clerk, the mayor's office said in its announcement.
"I think that being from New London, being a young educated Latino gives me that diversity," Ayala, who lives in the city, said. "I can speak to the community that is from one area just as well as I can speak to the business owners, and I think that is important."
City Councilor Efrain Dominguez, the council's sole Latino member, said he is encouraged by the hiring.
"This hiring of our first Hispanic city clerk reflects this administration's commitment to diversity, as well as our city's growing Latino population's willingness to serve in our local government," Dominguez said in a statement.
Ayala moved to New London from Puerto Rico when he was 4 years old and attended Edgerton School, Bennie Dover Jackson Middle School and NLHS.
As a teenager, Ayala was an amateur boxer who trained at Macy's Gym in East Lyme and fought at Ocean Beach on a Bash at the Beach card, he said.
By freshman year of high school, Ayala said, he discovered a love of poetry and music, and he described himself as "very much a poet, musician and artist at heart."
Ayala is also a member of N.U. Life, a Christian pop and hip-hop trio that has performed at Christian music festivals and local churches.
Last year, Ayala served as mentor to a group of kids who wanted to perform in the New London Youth Talent Show at the Garde Arts Center. For two or three months, he said, he worked with the kids to get them ready for the show.
"It was an amazing experience," he said. "The young people learned how to work together and I shared some of my experiences with music and performing in front of people."
As clerk, Ayala will have three years to meet the state's certification requirements for municipal clerks, and will earn an annual salary of $65,000.
In a statement, Finizio said he is confident Ayala will effectively serve the entire city population.
"He's a veteran, has extensive experience managing records, scored in the top tier of applicants for this post, and is bilingual," Finizio said in a statement. "He knows and loves New London, having grown up here and having graduated from New London High School."
The job was advertised publicly through the city's personnel office from March 28 until April 14. Assistant City Clerk Dawn Currier has served as Acting City Clerk since Nathan Caron resigned from the office in early April.
Ayala will be sworn in July 2 at City Hall.

Arrived quickly, and seems to do the job. My only small concern is that use of the car adaptor is accompanied by a low-level smell of electrical burning. Nothing gone bang yet though.
