Posh, Sporty, Scary, Baby and Ginger: from the early days in 1997 photographed for The Face outside a Shoreditch council block, to selling out Wembley Stadium and closing the 2012 Olympics ceremony, the Spice Girls remain one of the biggest selling girl groups ever. This week, Viva Forever, The Spice Girls musical written by Jennifer Saunders, launches in London's West End. It's a coming-of-age story interwoven with the iconic songs that defined the 90s, galvanizing the music scene with their Girl Power mantra, chart-pop classics and distinctively eccentric style.
The Spice Girls celebrated DIY fashion: hair streaks, ribbons, scrunchies, crop tops and that tea towel Union Jack dress. They represented a style that any girl could relate to. Championing Cool Britannia, they epitomised 90s fashion: tracksuits, trainers, platform shoes, exposed underwear and animal print. As Anna Wintour said when she put them on the 1998 cover of US Vogue, "love them or hate them, they hit a nerve."
"As Anna Wintour said when she put them on the 1998 cover of US Vogue, 'love them or hate them, they hit a nerve.'"
Each Spice had an individual identity that was an exaggeration of her personality, and they each played up to their characters. From Mel C's Liverpool football shirts and Emma Bunton's pastel dresses and high ponytails, to Victoria's LBD and Mel B's leopard print catsuits, Simon Fuller recognised the new dawn of image-control and product placement within media, promoting the band as a branded commodity represented by their clothing. In 1998, Geri's Union Jack dress was auctioned at Sotheby's for charity, bought by Peter Morton on behalf of the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas for $66,214, where it now hangs as a multi-faceted symbol of feminism and pop culture of the 90s.
Unashamedly garish and loud, these five characters united to be a force that inspired young girls everywhere. However, despite their cartoon quality, there was a sense of realism and vulnerability to the Spice Girls. They were feisty, emotional and wore their hearts on their PVC sleeves, leaving behind a lasting legacy and a cultural stamp on Britain.

Patecky Abstract Art Slated for Hallie Ford Museum
Albert Patecky was a highly regarded Portland painter who helped introduce regional audiences to non-objective art. Although he was known for his paintings and prints of regional subject matter, Patecky flirted with abstraction during the late 1940s and '50s. A small exhibition of his experimental abstract work will run Oct. 29 to Dec. 22 at the Hallie Ford Museum of Art at Willamette University.
Born in Michigan in 1906, Patecky arrived in Portland in 1928 and worked as a cartoonist and illustrator during the 1930s and early '40s. An opportunity to study at the Art Students League in New York led him to the Museum of Non-Objective Painting--the forerunner of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum--where he was introduced to the work of Wassily Kandinsky, the Russian-born founder of the German Expressionist movement Der Blaue Reiter.
"Patecky was inspired by Kandinsky's nonrepresentational work," said John Olbrantz, museum director, "and created his own non-objective works, which were exhibited in the Museum of Non-Objective Painting for several years.
"Patecky was particularly interested in the clear geometric forms of Kandinsky's 1930s work and in the analogy Kandinsky drew between painting and music," Olbrantz said.
Organized by Willamette University Professor Roger Hull, the exhibition focuses on Patecky's work from the late 1940s to 1966. Works have been selected from a number of regional collections. In conjunction with the exhibition, an article on Patecky will be published in the September-October issue of American Art Review. Limited copies will be available at the museum.
"Albert Patecky: Abstractions" has been supported by a grant from the Oregon Arts Commission.
The Hallie Ford Museum of Art is located at 700 State Street (corner of State and Cottage Streets) in downtown Salem near the campus of Willamette University. Hours are Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The galleries are closed Sunday and Monday. Admission is $3 for adults and $2 for seniors and students. Children under 12 are admitted free and Tuesday is an admission-free day. For further information please call 503-370-6855.

Indiana Humanities traces its roots to 1972, when the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) asked a group of five energetic Indiana citizens to form a statewide grant-making agency. The group was comprised of Dr. Marvin E. Hartig, Mrs. Edmund F. (Virginia) Ball, Dr. Robert E. Burns, Mr. Edward N. Howard, and Dr. Robert W. Richey. Their goal was to focus federal dollars on more local, grassroots initiatives.
We've come a long way since then. Today, we're still a grant-making agency, but we are also a convener, leader and partner. We promote the public humanities and engage Indiana's community of minds to create stronger, more vibrant communities. Using literature, history, art, music, philosophy and our shared cultural heritage, we strive to help Hoosiers better understand themselves and the world around them.
What does Indiana Humanities do?
In short, Indiana Humanities encourages Hoosiers to think, read and talk. How? By creating its own programs, such as Spirit of Competition, Community Conversations, and Novel Conversations; by providing grants for humanities programs throughout the state; and by providing a space—physically and digitally—for people to connect and converse.
Here's a map of our impact across the state in 2013. (See the right-hand column on this page to read about what we did in your congressional district.)
Indiana Humanities programs and initiatives include:
INconversation – A question-and-answer style discussion that engages a small, intimate group in interesting, engaging and insightful conversations with some of the nation's most intriguing thought leaders.
Community Conversations – In a joint project with the Bowen Center for Public Affairs at Ball State University and other statewide partners, Indiana Humanities facilitates community conversations around the state on topics such as collaboration and regional development, quality of place and making government work.
Novel Conversations – A free lending library with sets of books available to book clubs, public libraries, and organizations.
Teacher Center – An online resource for educators, which includes professional development opportunities, curriculum guides and toolkits.
Grants – In the past five years, Indiana Humanities has awarded nearly $350,000 to nonprofit groups in more than 60 Indiana cities and towns. Grants fund lectures, workshops, historic preservation education activities, and more.
Past programs and initiatives have included:
Food for Thought – A signature two-year program (2010-2011) that engaged Hoosiers in discussions about food — ranging from the persona to the global. Participants talked about how food helps to define Indiana's culture, and considered food in the context of history, law, politics, science, the arts, religion, ethnicity, etc. Components included a traveling exhibit, Chew on This events, a blog and many partnerships with organizations such as the Indiana State Fair, Spirit & Place Festival and Dig-IN: A Taste of Indiana.
Spirit of Competition – Our two-year theme during 2012-2013, Spirit of Competition, examined five core elements of competition: civility, rivalry, innovation, passion and failure. Through this initiative, Indiana Humanities inspired students, teachers, community leaders, businesses and other organizations to think, read and talk about the role of competition in their lives.
What are "the humanities"?
Often grouped as the fields of history, literature, philosophy and other related disciplines, "the humanities" are not a thing, but a process for pursuing truths about the shared human condition. They inspire, engage and enrich us, allowing us to remember our past, envision our future and consider ourselves as individuals and as members of communities. In essence, the humanities are the study of, participation in and sharing of the things humans make and the things that make us human.
What types of grants does Indiana Humanities provide?
Indiana Humanities offers a competitive grants program which awards funding to Indiana not-for-profit organizations, schools, and other institutions. We divide our grants into two broad categories: Humanities Initiative Grants and Historic Preservation Education Grants.
Humanities Initiative Grants are awarded to not-for-profit organizations that wish to sponsor public humanities programs such as town hall meetings, panels, workshops, lectures, reading and discussion programs, film discussion programs, festivals, and production of humanities resources.
Historic Preservation Education Grants are awarded to support educational programs related to historic properties in Indiana.
Visit our grants page for more information.
How is the organization funded?
Indiana Humanities is generously funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities. The remainder of the funding comes from private, philanthropic and corporate donations. In order to effectively provide programs, grants and resources to Hoosiers, Indiana Humanities needs your financial support. Please print out the pledge form and mail it with your gift, or you can contribute online. All contributions to Indiana Humanities, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, are fully deductible within federal and state law.
How can I get involved?
Have a book club? Take advantage of the Novel Conversations library. Know a child? Download educational activities from the Teacher Center.
Show your support for the humanities by attending an event held by one of our grantees or attend one of INconversations. Check out the calendar for those and other humanities events throughout the state. Subscribe to our e-newsletter to get monthly updates about grant deadlines, upcoming events and general humanities news.
Citizens interested in serving on our volunteer, statewide Board of Directors can review our Request for Board Nominations. You can also pledge your support financially by filling out this pledge form and mailing it with your gift, or you can contribute online.
How can I get updated information from Indiana Humanities?
Indiana Humanities provides most of its updates digitally. You can sign up to receive monthly e-newsletters and you can follow us on Twitter (@INHumanities) or on Facebook for more timely updates. Check the homepage often for news and events.
Indiana Humanities connects people, opens minds and enriches lives by creating and facilitating programs that encourage Hoosiers to think, read and talk. BH

Top 10 consumer complaints
Published On: Aug 19 2012 07:04:18 PM CDT Updated On: Aug 01 2014 10:10:18 AM CDT
The Consumer Federation of America recently released its annual chronicle of the top 10 consumer complaints. Check out which complaints topped the list.

More evidence of the deep re-ordering of American culture came by way of a report unveiled today, entitled, "Grounding the American Dream: A Cultural Study on the Future of Consumerism in a Changing Economy." It portrays a society in the early stages of a traumatic transformation.
The report reinforces much of what I discovered in researching RenGen: Renaissance Generation and provides interesting background for marketers looking to enmesh their brands into the new culture that's emerging. To do so, brands will need to weave themselves into the social fabric to avoid being shed.
Based on ethnographic research conducted in October and November in New York City, Baltimore, Miami, San Antonio, Texas and Lexington, Kentucky, the research team plots a five-stage process consumers are undergoing as they struggle through a major cultural transformation. The process explains how they're coping and rebuilding their lives amidst the faltering "American Dream," an essential component that the late Joseph Campbell once identified as American culture's core "organizing mythology." When organizing mythologies are up for revision, it marks a change in the deep order of society.
"This is more than an economic crisis, it's a cultural crisis. As anthropologists, we knew the aftershocks would be far-reaching, so we took to streets, schools, malls and homes to understand the impact," said Dr. Robbie Blinkoff, principal anthropologist on the project and co-founder of Context-Based Research Group.
Most people will undergo a process and emerge with a new consumer identity the researchers call the "Grounded Consumer." The stages are:
Stage 1: The Realization: Goodbye Homo economicus - this is when consumers come to understand how the larger economy intersects with their personal economy and what they need to do to make changes. As part of this stage they're realizing that they are not what they buy. This new thinking forces the revaluation of all purchases.
Stage 2: How Did I Get Here? My Life is Not a Loan - consumers are assessing their situations and realizing it's fatal to live a life on credit. Living below your means is now becoming en vogue.
Stage 3: Creating a New Value Equation: Moving from a "Me" to a "We" Economy - this involves a movement toward emphasizing a new kind of value equation that moves consumers from putting "me" first to putting "we" first. In this equation decisions truly balance rational, emotional, and social needs.
Stage 4: unSTUFFing My Life: Building a New Consumer Toolkit - this is when consumers get practical as they start to remove excess "STUFF" from their lives. They're belt tightening, but still finding ways to obtain gratification, through little luxuries - proclaiming it's time to "trim the fat, not the fun."
Stage 5: Walking the Talk: Putting New Skills into Action - the first four stages lead up to life-altering transformations. The new Grounded Consumer who emerges is ultimately better, smarter and more connected than their predecessors and they realize the road to the achieving the American Dream isn't paved with purchases.
The research was sponsored by Carton Donofrio Advertsing Agency.
The Culture Scout Blog provides marketing insights to brandmakers on digital culture, cultural trends, and consumer behavior in the new economy.

Screen-Free Sabbath
"Screen-Free Sabbath" is part of the student life division's Sustain YOU! initiative, which focuses on care of self and prioritizing and balancing life. This student-produced video on the topic debuted in a 2012 university chapel. At the core of this adventure is the principle of Sabbath, a period of rest and renewal.
We invite students, faculty and staff to participate as individuals or groups and free yourself from screens… items that can block you from Sabbath, yourself, your relationships and your spirituality. Join in our "electronic fasting" and share your reflections on our mini-blog.
How to participate in the screen-free Sabbath
"Screen-free Sabbaths have allowed me to feel physically healthier, more productive and successful academically, and created space that has helped me grow in my spiritual life. I am convinced that an overabundance of technology in a person's life leads to impatience, irritability, stress, anxiety, a lack of productivity, and doesn't allow for the solitude that is essential to a spiritual relationship with God. "
-Tim Heishman '12
"Taking space away from the clamoring voices of everyday life enables us to listen to God. Even spending an hour or two away from technology and other demands can be incredibly beneficial. Whether it be an entire day away from all technology or simply part of an afternoon, I challenge you to find ways to make your Sabbath a true day of rest and allowing yourself to feel God's peace."
-Meg Smeltzer '13
Screen: movable or fixed device, usually consisting of a covered frame, that provides shelter, serves as a partition, etc.
Free: enjoying personal rights or liberty, as a person, pertaining to or reserved for those who enjoy personal freedom
Sabbath: time of rest and religious observance, any special day of prayer or rest, a period of rest and renewal.
At the core of our screen-free adventure is the principle of Sabbath. All students, faculty and staff are invited to participate as individuals or groups and free themselves from items that can block you from Sabbath, yourself, your relationships and your spirituality: screens.
1. Prepare
- Choose a challenge that you can really try for a few weeks–there are many ways to take Sabbath for rest and renewal.
- Select the time for practicing screen-free Sabbath (Friday evening, Saturday evening through Sunday evening, Sunday afternoon or all day Sunday)
- Take time to be intentional about why you are trying this and how you want to spend your time – reflect on what this means to you and pay attention along the way to how it feels, how you experience the renewal.
- Perhaps there is a group of friends or people in your dorm you can reach out to and create a group challenge and meet to talk about group reflections or activities
- Consider this as your Lenten journey. Time your screen-free Sabbaths during Lent as a time for preparation and renewal with a screen-free fast. Then reflect to see if after Lent you wish to continue on with this as a lifestyle change for ongoing renewal.
- Remember that this is about gaining Sabbath, creating space for retreat and renewal for yourself and increasing your sense of well-being. No matter how you prepare or what challenge you choose, make that your goal.
2. Plan what you will do in your screen-free time
- Meditate, focus, breathe into the quiet and get back in touch with you
- Spend time in prayer to nurture your relationship with God
- Visit with friends – take a walk, get coffee, reconnect
- Read a book for pleasure or do a self-guided book study
- Start a gratitude journal
- Put your cell phones away (far away) for mealtime
- Go outside, explore and enjoy nature!
- Take a one day retreat for yourself or in a small group
- Unhook from all your responsibilities and play
- Start a new hobby
- Paint, color, draw, make something with clay
- Try a new recipe and invite friends in to sample it
3. Choose your challenge
Consider all the activities with screens: TV/movies, texting, social networking, video games, computers, cell phone.
Challenge one: Choose one activity from which to be screen-free for some or all of the Sabbath day. The amount of time is less important than what you do during that time and how you reflect on the screen-free impact!
Challenge two: Choose two activities
Challenge three: Choose three activities
Challenge four: All entertainment screens
Challenge five: All screens!
4. BLOG about it!
Reflect on what you are learning about yourself, your relationships, your relationship with God. Read how others have experienced screen-free Sabbath.

First Kemp's ridley sea turtle nests of season found on Padre Island
CORPUS CHRISTI - Let the annual turtle tally begin: the first wave of endangered Kemp's ridleys have nested on the Padre Island National Seashore, officials said.
Four nests were located on the Texas coastline Thursday, the first day this year for reports of the sea turtles that return to area beaches each year to lay eggs, said Donna Shaver, Chief of the Division of Sea Turtle Science and Recovery for the National Park Service.
The fist two were found on South Padre Island and later in the afternoon, Shaver's team found two more nests locally. A fifth nest likely will be found soon. Late Thursday experts at Boca Chica Beach reported a Kemp's ridley sighting and were following turtle tracks, but hadn't located the nest.
Kemp's ridleys, the world's smallest sea turtles, tend to nest during high winds, which sometimes can make their tracks difficult to follow.
"These were the right conditions," Shaver said. "We've been patrolling for almost three weeks now. The first two nests were found on South Padre before the passage of the front, and the others were after the passage of the front, which brought rain and a very strong north wind."
Shaver's team, along with beachgoers, found more than 200 Kemp's ridley nests on Texas beaches, including 116 on Padre Island during the most recent nesting season. Hatchlings from those sites were sent into the Gulf during 28 sunrise events in the summer.

CHURCH HILL — News of a recently discovered pregnancy between a Hawkins County couple apparently didn't go over very well last week, resulting in a domestic altercation that sent a man and woman to jail.
Shortly before 8 p.m. Tuesday Hawkins County Sheriff's Office Deputy David Benton responded to a domestic disturbance in progress at 1786 Goshen Valley road near Church Hill.
While en route Benton received radio dispatch reports that a male was choking a female outside the residence, followed shortly by a report that the male was attempting to leave the scene, and was dragging the female down the driveway.More on the arrests can be found at TimesNews.net. comments powered by Disqus

Course Description
Lypossage is a non-surgical, manual body contouring technique that really works! It's results are proven and your clients will be thrilled with the results which can include loss of inches, tightening of muscles and the look of a natural face lift.
In this course you will learn how to incorporate a blend of massage techniques including deep tissue massage and deep lymphatic drainage that will work to decongest tissue by cleansing stalled lymphatic fluid and break up the adhesions that contribute to the uneven dimpling of the skin and the appearance of cellulite. Lypossage also firms muscles and lifts sagging tissue.
This course is taught over a three day period and is broken down into three zones:
Zone 1: Includes the hips, thighs, buttocks and lower abdomen. In this session you will learn to diminish the appearance of cellulite, improve muscle and skin tone of the thighs, buttocks, hips and lower abdomen. Your client's posture and structure will improve and dimension loss is typical.
Zone 2: This session targets the upper abdomen, back, neck and arms. You will learn skills to address your client's posture and improve lymphatic flow while helping to tone problematic areas.
Zone 3: You will learn a protocol to address the head, face and neck. You will learn to dramatically reduce the appearance of wrinkles and sagging skin and improve skin tone and texure using natural face lifting techniques.
This technique boasts the best return on investment in the business! Lypossage is a progressive massage program that requires up to 18 sessions for completion. At fees ranging from $85 to $100 for each half hour session, just one client can more than double your initial class investment and there are plenty of clients to choose from. They will then want to return for regular maintenance.
All Lypossage classes are small (maximum 16 students in each class) and provide intensive hands on training. Students are provided with written instruction and marketing direction and support. Lypossage can only be performed by a certified Lypossage therapist. All three levels must be completed before you can be certified.

Presentation Key - School of Applied Arts, Working Men's College Opening, 1917 Reg. No: HT 11031
- Summary:
- This presentation key is a tangible link to the major educational institution in central Melbourne, which has been in existence since 1887.
Melbourne's Working Men's College was founded with funds provided by prominent grazier, Scottish immigrant and philanthropist Francis Ormond, and Victorian trade unions. Although it was not until 1887 that the first students attended the Working Men's College, the college was an immediate success with over 900 students enrolled by the end of the year. Students undertook a variety of subjects including mechanics, physics, bookkeeping, elocution and arithmetic, as well as certain trades such as cookery, carpentry and dressmaking. In 1899 full courses were introduced, in the areas of Applied Arts and Technology. The Applied Arts, covering such areas as architecture and industrial design, grew to such an extent that a separate 'School of Applied Arts' was established, and its own complex opened in 1917. This key was presented to the Governor of Victoria Sir Arthur Stanley to mark this occasion.
The School of Applied Arts has produced a number of prominent graduates, in areas such as Engineering, Industrial Design, Architecture and Fashion and Textile Design, who have gone on to have influence locally, nationally, and internationally.
- Description:
- Enamelled 15ct gold presentation key with Australian hallmarks 'ES' flanked by kangaroo and emu, engraved on both sides. Superb handcrafted fretwork design of wattle foliage and oil lamp atop a book stack.
- Statement Of Significance:
- The School of Applied Arts has been the preeminent design school in Melbourne since the early 20th century, providing training in jewellery, textile design, furniture design, architecture and art.
The key also relates to a number of other presentation pieces in the Museum Victoria Collection, particularly in silver and gold, which relate to important Melbourne institutions and events.

US Air Force Boeing F-15A-Ds are to remain grounded, even after structural inspections are completed, until investigation of the November crash is complete and a solution to fuselage longeron cracking is developed.
The F-15s had been returning to flight after undergoing inspections, called time compliance technical orders (TCTO), but on 3 December the head of USAF Air Combat Command, Gen John Corley, ordered the aircraft to remain grounded.
ACC says the decision followed a briefing on the investigation into the 2 November crash of a Missouri Air National Guard F-15C following structural failure, in which investigators reported they had found additional longeron cracking in the mishap aircraft.
Longeron cracks were found in the area of the cockpit sill (from Flight cutaway of the F-15A)
Longeron cracks were found in the area of the cockpit sill
(from Flight cutaway of the F-15A)
Since ordering inspection of all F-15A-Ds, the USAF has found longeron cracks in two aircraft operated by the Oregon Air National Guard. Both were built in the early 1980s, and are about the same age as the Missouri mishap aircraft, says ACC.
Additional TCTOs were ordered on 29 November and so far more than 195 of the USAF's 445 F-15A-Ds have undergone these inspections, says the command. "The TCTOs are still out there, and aircraft will still undergo inspection, but even if they pass they will not fly," says ACC.
The command does not know whether the solution to the cracking problem will be "a repair, more TCTOs or what, and we are not putting a date to it."
Grounding of the F-15s continues to be used by US Air Force leadership to underline its need for additional funding to continue procurement of the Lockheed Martin F-22A beyond the planned 183 aircraft.

Oct. 18, 2004
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - University of New Mexico punter Tyler Gaus was named Mountain West Conference Special Teams Player of the Week this morning, earning the award for the first time in his career. Gaus is just the second punter in Lobo history to be honored, joining Jason Bloom who was a five-time recepient (1996-98) in the Western Athletic Conference. Alex Smith (Utah) and Kirk Morrison (San Diego State) were earned Offensive and Defensive Player of the Week honors, respectively.
In New Mexico's 24-20 win at UNLV, Gaus punted eight times for a 41.6-yard average. He placed a career-high four balls inside the Rebels 13-yard line (11, 3, 13 and 6-yard lines, respectively), with his final kick key in the victory as the 53-yard effort pinned UNLV on its own six yard line for its final drive of the game. New Mexico forced a Rebel fumble at midfield and preserved the win.
Gaus is the fourth Lobo honored by the league this year, joining quarterback Kole McKamey, safety Josh Bazinet and kicker Wes Zunker, who all earned Player of the Week awards for their performances versus Texas Tech.

Discuss the "California's High Speed Rail" TV story
A little-known state agency is drawing up a plan to radically reshape California's transportation system by constructing a 700-mile long high-speed rail system that would send sleek bullet trains whizzing at speeds of up to 220 mph from San Francisco to Los Angeles within a decade. The $37 billion idea is to stay ahead of airport and freeway gridlock as California's population grows by 500,000 people a year. But will voters in 2008 approve the funding? And how do you make a train go faster than a Ferrari?
Green Burials and California's High Speed Rail (episode #104) airs tonight on QUEST at 7:30pm on KQED 9, and KQED HD, Comcast 709. (full schedule)

- Fuse or light bulb? for 96 Isuzu Rodeo
- 08-15-2004
August 15, 2004, 11:14 pm
My 1996 Isuzu Rodeo has the backlights out for the speedometer, the oil
pressure gage, and the gas gage (everything on the right half of the
instrument panel).
Everything on the left side is still lit up.
Makes it fun driving at night when you can't tell how fast you are going
except when you go underneath a street light.
Does this sound like a burnt lightbulb problem or is there a fuse which
feeds just the right half backlights for the instrument panel?
If it is the bulbs, how hard is it to change them out??
Thanks for any help.
August 16, 2004, 1:23 am
Re: Fuse or light bulb? for 96 Isuzu Rodeo
There is probably a bulb burnt out in you instrument panel. If it
were a fuse, all the dash lights would be out as well as your brake
It is not hard to replace the bulb if you can get the instrument panel
out. Usually a handful of screws and some clips holding it in place.
Good Luck,

New Arizona State head coach Todd Graham nabbed his first high school recruit and he's getting an enthusiastic one at that. Terrell Davis, a running back out of Victoria, British Columbia, in Canada, will play for the Sun Devils.
The 6-foot, 215-pound RB was committed to Washington State until around Christmas, when he reopened his recruitment. He also held an offer from Idaho, and had drawn interest from Oregon State and Washington, among others. Davis previously lived in Arizona, but still feels like he'll be representing Canadian talent.
"ASU is a great school and even though there was a coaching change, the new coaches at ASU made me feel really confident about committing there," Davis told Sporting News on Monday. "I think with my commitment to ASU and a friend of mine, Eli Ankou from Ontario who committed to UCLA, that should really open doors for younger players in Canada trying to play football in the states."
Davis is Graham's first prep recruit since being hired in December. Arizona State has a near-full class with the addition of Davis, who makes 21 commitments for Graham.

San Antonio firefighters stand behind a house after fighting a fire Friday January 4, 2013 at a two story house at 9614 Berryville on San Antonio's far West Side. According to San Antonio fire captain Ruben Cruz, the vacant home started burning about 8:50 a.m. in an upper story back room and burned through the home's floor.

Kohl's gives $163K for Bexar kids
A charitable arm of national retailer Kohl's Corp. donated more than $150,000 to the Children's Hospital of San Antonio to improve immunization rates among children in Bexar County.
In a news release, the hospital announced it received a check Friday for $163,701 from the Kohl's Cares Immunization Program, which it has partnered with since 2004.
To date, the department store's charitable program has donated more than $1 million to the children's hospital, and the program should help immunize nearly 5,000 children this fiscal year, according to the release.
Kohl's raises funds for donations through the net profits of the sale of special gift items at registers in its stores, the release reads.

The Tri Level Consultation Document is available from Carmarthenshire County Council Offices.
Ysgol Pantycelyn Action Group has the following concerns :
The Tri Level document talks about Rural Deprivation (with regard to education). This is not the case here. We understood this merger was to enhance the education, not combat deprivation. Thus the merger addresses a problem that does not exist.
Pantycelyn is already a very good and successful 2B school, and this could be a good foundation on which to build a wider curriculum, in co-operation with other schools, including possibly Llandovery College. We were told the options were drawn up with the support of students and parents, but this is clearly not the case in Llandovery. Figures given to justify the reform with regard to Welsh language continuum after 14 years of age, show that Pantycelyn is the main contributor to the Dynevor figures that show the highest level of Welsh speakers both before and after the general drop in Welsh lesson uptake at fourteen years of age. This high percentage is also included in the Carmarthenshire figures as a whole, which makes the comparison even less valid.
There has been no research into why students tend to drop out of Welsh lessons at fourteen, which means that no one knows if the proposed remedies will have effect and this may be an experiment the town cannot recover from.
When local residents tried to raise their concerns about the detrimental impact on the town at the public meetings, their concerns were dismissed, in what can only be described as an overbearing manner. This was despite the fact that the loss of the secondary school in Llandovery was listed in the tri-level document under the heading of Disadvantages/Challenges, and yet, was not discussed within the document at all.
There has been no analysis of the impact on students and parents on the difficulties of Pantycelyn students taking part in after school activities, especially in the light of the lack of public transport, carbon emissions, or the inevitably rising costs of petrol.
No research has been carried out on the logistics of transportation of many pupils between the various education centres. Also the potential for traffic jams in the narrow streets of Llandeilo, or Llandovery, or where in Llandovery this twice daily gathering of buses and parents vehicles will take place.
There are no projections for costs of the various options given, including transport costs, so not comparisons can be made.
We understand the financial deficit that Pantycelyn faces has come about partly because of the restructuring of the budget with regard to allocations per pupil. We also understand that there are strategies in place which will improve the deficit over the next three years with improved management of the budget.
There is concern that this project appears to be more focussed on putting forward those options that will allow the Education Department of Carmarthenshire County Council to obtain the Welsh Assembly Capital Transformation Grant, and this is why the project is being pushed through so quickly without properly researching the alternative options that might retain Pantycelyn, and why we are being pressured to accept it.
This is evident in the fact that the study process does not seem to have provided sensible options, as it appears solely driven by the education departments desire to obtain Assembly transformation grant finance, at the expense of simpler and more cost-effective alternatives that would achieve the desired quality of education for all pupils
There are no projections for costs of the various options given, including transport costs; therefore no comparisons can be made between costs of alternative means of delivery the educational reforms you envisage.
Why was option 4 included, when one of the main justifications we have repeatedly been given for the school merger was to make financial savings. Why is it that any money allocated to a new build school, could not be used to support and develop the curriculum at Pantycelyn and Tre Gyb separately?
Why does Pantycelyn have to be absorbed by Tre Gyb to bring the latter to the level of a 2B school?
Why should pupils of Pantycelyn travel up to forty minutes each day, so that pupils in Llanelli do not feel they are being treated unfairly, in that Pantycelyn pupils receive a higher educational allowance per head than they do? Why is a greater transport allowance per reaching reforms? (A lack of joined up thinking is one of the main complaints voiced here.)head more acceptable, even with the difficulties it imposes on those pupils? The aim surely, should be that all pupils are given equal education, even if it costs more per pupil in one area.

Great propaganda, but there were almost no women in the Empire's military. And of course their armour was the same as male stormtrooper's.
And "who the hell" are you to talk to use about what kind of armor Stormtroopers can wear?

16th time is the charm for Waccamaw boys against Bishop England
Wednesday, May 16, 2012
By Chris Sokoloski
King Kong has thrown away his Waccamaw High soccer jersey.
Waccamaw's boys team beat Bishop England 4-1 last weekend to advance to the Lower State final.
The Bishops had beaten the Warriors 15 straight times, including eight in the playoffs.
"It was nice to win that game," Warriors coach Ben Schoen said. "It was exciting night for everybody. It was for anybody who's ever been part of this program."
It will be the first time since 1996 that someone other than Bishop England will represent the Lower State in the state Class AA soccer championship. The Bishops have won 10 state titles during that span.
On Saturday night, Lucas Vozniak had two goals, and Robin Muegge and Covington Watson each tallied one for the Warriors. Taylor King made 10 saves in goal.
After the excitement of the victory over the Bishops, Schoen had to get his team refocused for last night's game at Academic Magnet.
"I just reminded them there's no hardware for beating Bishop England," Schoen said. "Academic Magnet's team is playing better than Bishop England. It's like climbing a mountain and running into another mountain."
Waccamaw's only loss this season came at the hands of the Raptors.
"We're still the underdog," Schoen said. "We have to keep that mentality."
Waccamaw beat Andrews 4-0 in the second round of the playoffs.
"The effort was there," said Andrews coach Chris Hapeshis. "There's always Waccamaw, Bishop England and Academic Magnet. Those are the three at a different level then the rest of us."
The Yellow Jackets finished the season 16-5.
"I thought we had a great season," Hapeshis said. "It was probably our best season yet."
Andrews won the Gator Classic and with a squad that only had a few seniors, but a lot of juniors.
"I think next year's team has the potential to be just as good," Hapeshis said. "These kids have a lot of potential, they just have to realize that. The future is bright."
The juniors were led by Nick Knight, who had 33 goals.

Grounded in Faith, Open to All
For years, Facebook posts, forwarded emails and rumors have been leading people to believe stories that are not true. The Salvation Army does not discriminate against members of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgendered (LGBT) community. We, at The Salvation Army, think it's extremely important that people know and understand the truth: we do not discriminate.
And we invite anyone to visit a Salvation Army center to see our service in action, helping people based on their need. Salvation Army service is all about a person's need, not their beliefs or background, not their orientation, just their need.
Since its founding nearly 150 years ago, The Salvation Army has lived out its mission: To meet human needs in His name, without discrimination. People who come to the Army for assistance will be served according to their need and our capacity to help - regardless of race, gender, ethnicity or sexual orientation.
Some Internet postings originate in remarks made in a radio interview by Australian Major Andrew Craibe reported by the Truth Wins Out organization. It is emphatically noted that Major Craibe's comments do not reflect the views, policies, beliefs, or teachings of The Salvation Army anywhere in the world at any time in history.
We acknowledge that because of our size and scope, occasionally one of our millions of employees and volunteers might say or do something that does not reflect our values. We address these incidents as soon as they arise.
The Salvation Army believes that all people are equal, regardless of sexual orientation or any other factor, including race, gender and ethnicity.
The People We Serve
Each year, thanks to generous donations, The Salvation Army serves nearly 30 million Americans - or one person every second - from a variety of backgrounds. People who come to us for assistance will be served according to their need and our capacity to help - regardless of race, gender, ethnicity or sexual orientation.
The People We Hire
The Salvation Army embraces employees of many different faiths and orientations. Our hiring practices are open to all, and we adhere to all relevant employment laws, providing domestic partner benefits accordingly.
The People Who Support Us
Many people - including those in the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) community - support us with time and financial resources because of a common cause and commitment: To serve people in need.
"I called (Harbor Light) and told them everything - that I was on a fixed income, disabled, transgendered and trying to get away from my ex. It wasn't even an hour later that they called back and said they'd hold a spot for me. I arrived with nothing but a hope to start my life over and a desire to be strong again. A year and a half later, I was back on my feet. Living there was drama-free and I was never disrespected. They started a community service bug in me that's kept me active to this very day."

Brittany Gray
Nov. 18, 2013
ATHENS, Ga. - Georgia softball head coach Lu Harris-Champer has announced that Brittany Gray of Greenwood, Ind., has signed a National Letter of Intent to play for the Bulldogs beginning in 2014-15.
"Brittany is one of the top pitchers in the 2014 class nationally," Harris-Champer said. "Offensively, she has a knack for getting clutch hits in key situations against some of the top travel ball teams and pitchers in the country. She has played against some of the toughest competition in the country, which will help ease the adjustment to playing in the Southeastern Conference."
Ranked as the 26th best player in the nation by Student Sports Softball, Gray comes to Georgia as a highly decorated softball player at Greenwood High School under Head Coach Stephanie Senac. A two-time Johnson County Player of the Year and two-time Gatorade Player of the Year nominee, Gray was has made the all-conference team in each of her three seasons at Greenwood. As a junior, she played in the Indiana Elite North and South All-Star Challenge, where she was named the MVP. She earned a spot on the ICGSA Indiana All-State team and was a member of the all-county team. As a sophomore, Gray broke the Greenwood Community High School record for home runs in a season with 14. For her efforts, she was named to the 2012 Indianapolis Star Super Team and was named the 2012 Indianapolis Star Player of the Year. Gray also was a member of the 2012 all-county team and was named the Johnson County Softball Player of the Year. She was an ICGSA Second Team All-State selection and was nominated for the Gatorade National Player of the Year. In her first season at Greenwood, Gray earned a spot on the all-conference team, all-county team and the Indianapolis Star All-South Team.
Gray played travel ball for the Chicago Bandits under Head Coach Kevin Stephens. In July, she helped the Bandits to a first-place finish at the DeMarini Invitational. She also led the Bandits to a first-place finish at the Independence Day Invitational in Boulder, Colo., in 2011, as well as a third-place finish at ASA Nationals the same season.
Gray is the fourth of six signees to be announced as part of the Georgia signing class that will join the program in 2014-15. Georgia will reveal a new member of the signing class each day until all six have been announced. Fans are encouraged to check www.georgiadogs.com, Facebook (www.facebook.com/UGAsoftball) and Twitter (@UGAsoftball) for information on each of the newest Bulldogs.

Updated at: 06/22/2013 5:05 AM
(AP) LAGOS, Nigeria - Nigeria's Tax Appeal Tribunal has ordered Mobil Oil Nigeria to pay $83.4 million in education taxes owed from 2008.
The official News Agency of Nigeria reported Mobil's lawyer argued that the assessment breached an agreement with the government and the Nigerian state oil company allowing Mobil to deduct all taxes due to other agencies from the tax paid to the federal and state governments.
The five-man appeal tribunal ruled the agreement expired in 2003 and was never renewed.
Mobil Nigeria couldn't be reached for comment Friday night. It was unclear whether it would be liable for the education tax for the years following 2008.

I'm still taking submissions for another Community Choice Addon Spotlight! Email me your favorite addons at email@example.com.
I have been enjoying Cataclysm way more than I thought I would. Sure, I knew that the expansion was going to be a great experience, and my beta testing time was filled with awesome dungeon runs and getting a feel for the lay of the land, but I never could imagine how the community could come together so quickly on the live servers. Everything has been really great so far, and I've been enjoying every second of it.
A lot of my enjoyment of the new content has come from the fact that all of my addons and interface elements did not explode when the new content went live. Having a few weeks to tinker around with our UIs helped a huge amount in getting everything ready for the new expansion. Thank you, Blizzard. Let's do that every time.
This week, Reader UI checks out Quantus' UI, a nice and clean user interface that takes a bunch of interface elements and does some unique things with them that I didn't really consider. I think you'll get some great ideas from Quantus' setup, especially the way certain elements on the bottom bar relate to each other.
Everyone knows my opinion of SpartanUI (reminder: too big for many people's screens), but I love the idea that Quantus ripped Spartan's textures apart and redid them to his liking. Here's what Quantus has to say:
Dear Mathew,
Recently I decided to roll a worgen warrior as my main once Cataclysm goes live. This is my attempt at creating a complete UI for my new main character, which would serve both for leveling, and raiding -- once I'm done leveling the toon. I'm using a 1366 x 768 laptop screen, so minimizing clutter while optimizing the information provided was my main goal.
I also attempted to create a consistent color scheme throughout all the UI elements based on colors, which I felt suited the worgen theme best. Mainly a greyish, purple-ish blue, but also fainter tones of all the other colors used for health bars, etc. In conjunction with the color unity, I tried to create a sleek look by incorporating as much information into the bottom panel as possible (without cluttering it up, of course), so that there wouldn't be too many separate addon windows floating around. One of the panels in the UI, for example, doubles up as a slot for threat meters (for raids and instances) and quest tracking (for questing, obviously). Another incorporates the damage meters into the panel, making it all look more smooth.
The screenshots here are the current "leveling mode" of my UI, (being tested by a low-level toon) since I still have 85 levels to go once I get to start my worgen. Once max level has been reached, some quick and easy changes and additions will be made, in order to make the UI more suitable for raiding of course. The XP bar will disappear, for example, and instead there will be more action bar buttons to account for the increased number of spells, items, etc. Raid frames will be added and customized to suit the rest of the UI.
I had quit WoW (temporarily, apparently ^^) almost a year ago; now that I'm back after all this time, I feel I don't know that much about the addon scene. I would very much appreciate it if I could receive your suggestions for possible improvements (and additions) as well as those of the other readers, should you decide to feature my UI.
The addons I used are as follows:
- AtlasLoot - For obvious reasons.
- Auctionator - Once again, obvious reasons.
- Bagnon - Efficient inventory, as well as the customization I needed for the color unity. Also, unlike some other mods which allow you to see your bags as one, it allows you to swap bags without deactivating the addon, which should be useful while leveling.
- ButtonFacade - Cool looks, customization. Used to modify button shape and color.
- Chatter - More efficient use of space with regards to chat, customization options etc.
- Cromulent - Whatever fills the gap left by cartographer.
- CT_BuffMod - I like it better than its alternatives such as EBB, really clean and efficient buff display.
- Deadly Boss Mods - Obvious reasons.
- Dominos - The most customizable properly working action bar addon I know of. All the action bar buttons in the screenshots are of course keybound, but there is no need to show them since I have it all memorized. Also used to modify location and alpha blending for the game menu, xp bar etc. XP bar becomes brighter and shows numbers on mousover - most other buttons have some fade as well.
- kgPanels - The heart of the whole UI - visually at least. I used it to rip the textures from Spartan UI, and edit them to my taste. That addon definitely has great textures, but doesn't have half the customization options I wanted. So I came up with this solution. The bottom panels are slightly transparent; I like still being able to see what's going on down there, while providing a tangible frame for my buttons, info etc.
- Mapster - It's the new cartographer! I think.
- MikScrollingBattleText - Organized, efficient combat text. Also notifies when cooldowns are ready.
- MoveAnything - To be able to move everything, duh.
- Obituary - It's good to know why people died.
- Omen - Nice enough looking, fully customizable threat meters - gets the job done. Nicely.
- OmniCC - Clean way of knowing your cooldowns.
- Postal - Haven't tested it yet, it's description sounded useful though. ^^
- Quartz - Latency indicator on cast bars is a must. Customization options allow the bars to be placed and edited to suit the rest of the UI. Also, I have to say, the low-alpha target cast bar in the middle of the screen makes it impossible to miss an interrupt - quite handy imho.
- Recount - The detailed info it provides is essential for maximizing one's raid performance. Besides, we need damage meters so we can boast right?
- SellJunk - Auto-sells grey items when you open a vendor window. I used to use VendorFood because of the sheer awesomeness of having a button which said "Feed Vendor", but alas, it no longer works.
- SexyMap - Sexy looks & all the customization I need. I modified the runes and glows so that they wouldn't be too distracting. Low alpha, low revolving speed, and appropriate color.
- Shadowed UF - Doesn't use much screen space, looks clean, and provides all the info I want. Also customized backround and bar colors to suit the rest of the UI.
- SilverDragon - Knowing about rare mobs around you is good. Period. Haven't seen it in action yet though, hope it works properly.
- TidyPlates (Neon) - Looks cool, takes up less screen space than the default name plates, allows transparency for non-targets, provides improved information such as aggro status, and suits the rest of the UI.
- TipTac - More useful information on tooltips surely can't hurt. Besides, once the color and transparency is set, its tooltips go great with my UI.
- TomTom - The semi-transparent arrow showing quest objective directions, with it's color edited to suit the scheme, and location (somewhat) embedded in the UI both looks cool, and increases leveling efficiency, obviously.
- WoWPro - Blizzard's quest tracking info is clumsy and clutters up the screen. I used to use QuestHelper but it keeps giving errors even after updates, so I decided to try this - if it does everything it claims (properly), it should be a more than adequate replacement. Also, it can be hidden with a single click when doing instances, to make way for Omen, which uses the same panel, which I set in the bottom bar.
I hope you have the time to read this all, and sorry if it's a tad bit too long. I guess I'm a bit overenthusiastic about the issue. ^^
Looking forward to your reply,
Quantus of Ravenholdt (EU)
Thanks for the great submission, Quantus. Finding bits and pieces of user interfaces that you enjoy and fashioning new and unique setups that work for you. It's half the reason this column exists -- we're in a market of ideas, and the more your brain gets inspired by looking at others' work, the easier it is to spread some pretty good ideas.
Spartan no more
If you have the screen real estate for Spartan UI, go for it. Howver, most people don't, and for the amount of graphics on screen, you could probably do better with something simpler. I know I rag on Spartan UI, but I don't do it out of malice -- only the screen real estate issue. Quantus has taken the nice textures that he enjoyed out of the addon pack and fashioned a new bottom bar with kgPanels. SpartanUI handles the minimap well, so clipping the parts that work seems like a pretty solid plan.
Layering interface elements on top of each other is an awesome space-saving mechanism. Interface elements that never really appear at the same time are prime candidates for layering, as Quantus has done with his threat meters and quest log. Most quest tracking addons have an option to remove the addon during combat, and Skada, Recount, and Omen can all be hidden when out of combat. It's a perfect combination.
Color me excited
When a UI finds its way to my mailbox with a coordinated color scheme, I get excited. Taking the time to work your UI colors out is one of those delayed satisfactions that really make a difference. Taking the time to set up a color scheme and making sure all your addons are color coordinated leaves everything feeling complete. For me, it's one of the nicer things you can do to your UI.
Quantus uses some great addons that help the overall color scheme come to life in his UI, mainly TipTac and Bartender. TipTac is one of those addons that is incredibly customizable both in information and in design. Like Quantus said in his email, once TipTac was set up to his liking, it meshed well with the rest of the addons in his collection. I can't recommend TipTac more for what it does, and it should probably be on Addon Spotlight again, since we haven't seen it since 2008. I'll get right on that.
ButtonFacade, still the best addon ever, rounds things out with a subtle color and shape choice that sets the color and design scheme apart. People love ButtonFacade, and it's the simple things that make the addon so profound and powerful. Buttons just start to mesh with user interfaces with ButtonFacade, and you can't go wrong with what it has to offer.
Wrapping it up
Quantus made me like aspects of SpartanUI all over again. I still enjoy how the Spartan art handles the minimap, but I never enjoyed the amount of art that was on screen. By knocking most of the art away and keeping a very defined piece as the bottom bar of the user interface, I think Quantus is getting his money's worth. Frankly, if SpartanUI wanted to make a Spartan Lite of some kind made with its excellent art and a lot less screen real estate, I would be pleasantly happy and most appreciative.
See you guys next week.

There was a battle at Marrington Elementary School this May.
A Battle of the Books, that is.
The Battle of the Books is an annual reading program for fourth- and fifth-graders. From September to April, students read a total of 10 books in order to participate in a team competition in which students answered questions about the books they read.
This year, Marrington had four teams of students compete: Team Bacon, Team Hawks, Team Da Crew, and Team Hot N Spicy. Teams Da Crew and Hot N Spicy moved on to the final round where Team Hot N Spicy proved its broad knowledge of this years titles. The members of the winning team, Hot N Spicy, were Brendon Edwards (team captain), Emma Zaleski, and Julia Carpenter.

Texas Sales Tax Holiday
By KRWG News
Texas – The Texas sales tax holiday is Aug. 20-22 as shoppers prepare to head for stores the weekend before most public schools resume classes.
The Texas comptroller's office says the law exempts most clothing and footwear priced under $100 from sales and use taxes, which could save shoppers about $8 on every $100 they spend.
The agency says backpacks under $100 and used by elementary and secondary students are also exempt.
The 2009 Legislature expanded the list of items qualifying for tax exemption during the three-day weekend. Texas families get a sales tax break on most school supplies priced at less than $100 purchased for use by a student in an elementary or secondary school.

Though Barack Obama bears primary responsibility for fumbling the ball on Iran's nuclear program, the Israeli punditry has played a non-negligible supporting role.
Even before Hillary Clinton openly disavowed the possibility last week, U.S. military action against Iran was never a very credible threat, given Obama's visible distaste for the idea. That left Israel as the only credible military threat. And without such a threat, no nonmilitary solution is possible — something even the Obama administration now tacitly acknowledges. As the New York Times reported this month, the administration's main argument in trying to persuade China to back tough sanctions is that otherwise Israel is likely to bomb Iran, and the resultant instability in a major oil-producing region would be far worse for Chinese business than sanctions would. Thus, everyone who favors a nonmilitary solution to the Iranian problem has a vested interest in keeping the Israeli threat as credible as possible.
Incredibly, Obama has been doing the exact opposite. It's hard for administration officials to persuade either Tehran or Beijing to take the Israeli threat seriously while simultaneously proclaiming Obama's determination to stop Israel from carrying it out. But that makes it all the more important for Israel to project willingness and ability to strike Iran whether Washington likes it or not — which Israel has tried to do.
Unfortunately, Israel's efforts have been undercut by a string of academic and media pundits proclaiming that Israel cannot possibly strike Iran without U.S. permission. A typical example is the editorial Haaretz published last Tuesday, reprinted by the International Herald Tribune two days later. Explaining why Israel has "no better option" than to sit quietly and hope Obama's efforts succeed, it declared: "Israel will need full American support for any actions it may decide to take against the Iranian threat. If Israel goes to war, it will need intelligence help, prior warning, military equipment and diplomatic support from the United States." The obvious corollary is that Israel cannot go to war without American support.
Such assessments are almost certainly wrong: Israeli governments have rarely heeded American vetoes when they felt a vital Israeli security interest was at stake, and it's hard to imagine a more vital Israeli interest than keeping Iran from getting the bomb. But that doesn't matter.
What matters is that Haaretz is widely viewed by overseas journalists and diplomats as a credible interpreter of the Israeli scene. And therefore, such assertions lead Iran and China to believe that as long as Obama remains unalterably opposed to an Israeli strike, they need not fear one. Hence, Iran can safely continue its nuclear program, and China can safely continue stymieing international sanctions.
Those who make such statements generally believe an Israeli strike would be disastrous and seek to prevent it. But by making the Iranians and Chinese feel they have nothing to fear, these pundits actually make it more likely that nonmilitary efforts will fail, leaving Israel with no choice but military action. Thus their ill-considered words may end up bringing about the very scenario they dread most.

You're being stalked.
Not by some obsessive ex, who keys your car one day and sends X-rated e-mails the next. Uh-uh, worse. This creep dresses in long black robes and carries around some kind of sharpened farm implement. Goes by the nickname "The Grim One." Says he's dying to meet you. Has you scheduled in his BlackBerry.
We advise blowing him off.
Turns out His Grimness sometimes makes it quite clear when—and where—he prefers to collect his corpses. When we analyzed mortality stats and delved into databases about the various and untimely ways young men die, patterns emerged that tip the Reaper's hand.
No, you can't live forever, but you can learn how to live longer. By knowing—and avoiding—some of the deadliest times and places in a man's life, you just might be late for your own funeral.

Hybrid Air: The New Battery-Free Car That Runs On Air Will Save Drivers A Fortune
A hybrid car that runs on air may seem like an impossibility, but Peugeot Citroën says that a "hybrid air" vehicle could be ready for the road as early as 2016.
The hybrid air engine runs on gas and compressed air as opposed to gas and electricity, and could save drivers a lot of money in the future.
By 2020, the company expects it to be capable of getting 117 mpg and estimates a 45 percent savings for most drivers.
The compressed air power kicks in automatically at speeds under 43 mph, meaning gas would only be used at highway speeds, during which cars get better mileage.
The car would drive on compressed air from 60 to 80 percent of the time, saving them up to 80 percent in gas costs.
Now that will have drivers feel like they are walking on — excuse me — driving on air.

As another preseason comes to an end for our Dallas Cowboys football team, and now it time for the Dallas Cowboys front office and coaching staff to shift their focus and make a lot of tough decisions on whom to keep on their final 53 man roster.
Here is my 53-man projection for the 2013 roster. Let's Go...........
Quarterbacks (2)
Starter: Tony Romo
Backup: Kyle Orton
I know a lot of Cowboys fans wanted the Cowboys to carry (3) quarterbacks on the roster but with lack of quality depth on the offensive and defensive lines we will only carry two like we did last year. Hopefully Tanney will clear waivers and be added to the practice squad.
Running Backs (4)
Starter: DeMarco Murray
Backups: Lance Dunbar, Phillip Tanner, and Joseph Randle
Tight Ends (4)
Starters: Jason Witten and James Hanna
Backups: Gavin Escobar and Dante Rosario
Wide Receivers (5)
Starters: Dez Bryant and Miles Austin
Backups: Terrence Williams, Dwayne Harris, and Cole Beasley
Offensive Line (10)
Starters: Tyron Smith, Ronald Leary, Travis Frederick, Mackenzy Bernadeau, and Doug Free
Backups: Jermey Parnell, Phil Costa, Nate Livings, David Arkin, and Darrion Weems
Defensive Line (9)
Starters: Demarcus Ware, Jason Hatcher, Nick Hayden, and Anthony Spencer
Backup: Kyle Wilber, George Selvie, Ben Bass, Sean Lissemore, Jason Vega
Linebackers (6)
Starters: Sean Lee, Justin Durant, and Bruce Carter
Backups: DeVonte Holloman, Ernie Sims, and Cameron Lawrence
Cornerbacks (5)
Starters: Brandon Carr and Morris Claiborne
Backups: B.W. Webb, Sterling Moore, Orlando Scandrick
Safeties (5)
Starters: Will Allen and Barry Church
Backups: J.J. Wilcox, Jeff Heath, and Eric Frampton
Special Teams (3)
Dan Bailey (PK), Chris Jones (P), and L.P. Ladouceur (LP)

text: Illamasqua Shoot Intense Lipgloss (£14.00 for 0.20 fl. oz.) is described as a "leaf green." It's a brightened, medium grass green with warm, yellowy undertones and a creamy finish. It will surprise absolutely no one that I don't have a laundry list of dupes for this shade. That, in fact, I have none to recommend to you. OCC's Chlorophyll is much more of a teal shade. (And their newer Power Plant shade is more teal as well.)
