Full disclosure: this isn't the first time Dries van Noten has been the subject of one of our Inspired By storiesÂ--nor will it be the last! We are die-hard fans of the Belgian textile guru and his eclectic sensibilities, so it's no surprise that he's stolen our hearts two seasons in a row (take a look at how the designer's S/S 10 collection sparked our globetrotting fancies earlier this year). And while his F/W 10 runway felt decidedly quiet in comparison to spring's smorgasbord of world prints and fabrics, the designer's current combination of utilitarian elements, minimalist elegance, and luxurious touches adds up to lots of supremely desirable looks.
The individual components of Noten's masterful fall mashup are decidedly familiar. In addition to the having a perfectly of-the-moment palette (primarily neutrals like gray, camel, and olive green), the collection includes everything from refined outerwear options to military fatigues-inspired skirts and pants to ultra-casual sweatshirt tops. Noten also put a handful of ladylike essentials on the runway, pieces like satin skirts and elbow-length dresses with a slightly retro air. But while all of these items may not be revolutionary on their own, the way they were mixed together is what gives them such a fresh and desirable look. Our favorite combinations paired glamorous pieces with quotidian ones: a furry leopard-print vest with an olive cotton skirt, an antique gold blazer with dark jodhpur-like pants, and a floor-length purple silk skirt with a slouchy short-sleeve sweatshirt in a drab khaki green. All in all, Noten successfully incorporated many of the season's top trends and showed us precisely how to style them in a wonderfully wearable way.
Though the exact items from Dries Van Noten's fall runway are masterful investment piecesÂ--especially the Contrast Sleeve Jacket ($1341), Military Style Skirt ($545), and the Low Back Dress ($1700)Â--with a little effort, you can easily emulate the collection's spirit at a more affordable price point. To see what we mean, read on for all of our Inspired By must-buys that will give you that brilliantly casual DVN runway look.
1. Parkhurst Faux-Fur Pull-Through Scarf ($48)
It's never a bad idea to incorporate the season's animal-print obsession into your daily rotation. But while our more daring dressers will opt for a chic faux leopard coat or a pair of feline-print trousers, Noten offered up a more subtle approach with a cozy scarf. Since the runway's exact neck-warmer is essentially sold-out (and a wee pricey), we think Parkhurt's iteration is an excellent substitute, as it will give any outfit a similarly luxe look. Just take a note from Noten, and pair the purr-fect scarf with a camel coat and either gray or army-green trousers for an of-the-moment fall ensemble.
2. Inés Sunglasses ($11)
If we're sure about one thing, it's that an on-the-go Dries women should always be equipped with a glamorous pair of sunnies. While in the past Noten created a frenzy with printed cat-eye styles and thick white frames, this time the designer gave his models ultra-dark circular shades. Fortunately, Inés has created an equally envious pair that not only mimics the designer's cool, polished style, but also comes with a more budget-friendly price tag!
3. Topshop Shrunken Wool Blazer ($160)
As mentioned, menswear-inspired pieces were one of the prominent components of Noten's fall collection. The runway boasted plenty of two-tone jackets and crisp blazers with contrast collars, making Topshop's shrunken iteration the perfect pick for today's story. There's no denying its rich camel color, black collar detail, and tailored fit make this piece an almost exact replica of Noten's Camel Wool Blazer ($1293, 212.753.7300); it's almost hard to spot the differences!
4. Zara Sweatshirt-Style Sweater ($40)
Of course today's story would not be complete without Noten's key casual-dressing component: the sweatshirt! While we're always fond of athletic gray versions, there's something so lovely and unexpected about this military green version. For a modern daytime look, simply style the relaxed fit of this Zara sweater with a knee-length full skirt, then transition effortlessly into the evening hours by teaming it with a sleek maxi skirt.
5. ASOS Premium Washed Leather Double Zip Satchel ($126)
We have always loved the rugged flair of an army-inspired bag, and today's satchel is certainly a nod to the utilitarian theme woven throughout Noten's collection. The washed leather gives the carrier a cool worn-in look, while its multiple pockets and considerable size provides enough storage room to carry all of your daily essentials.
6. Old Navy Plaid Wool-Blend Mini ($30)
It's hard to imagine wearing a mini skirt in the dead cold of winter, but once we spotted Old Navy's plaid wool version, our thoughts turned quickly to all of the ways we could! It definitely has that chic schoolgirl spirit we love, and would look splendid styled in a Dries van Noten fashion, meaning with an untucked, loose-fit sweatshirt. If the weather calls for more layers, we suggest adding a pair of black wooly knit tights, and dressing up your look further with a pair of ankle booties.
7. Halogen Nora Pumps ($100)
Much like the collection itself, the footwear at Dries this season has a more subdued and timeless vibe than in seasons past. We spotted a mixture of black low-heeled Suede Shoes ($616) and cognac pumps strutting down the runway, which leads us to our next item on the Inspired By wardrobe list: Halogen's Nora Pumps. Simple, yes, but these almond-toe platforms are the kind of classic shoe option that will take you from one season to the next.
8. Bruce II Pleated Trouser ($390)
If you're still on the hunt for that perfect fall trouser, then today is your lucky day dear readers! Bruce II's high-waisted silk slacks are a seriously functional style that can be worn dressed up or down, and they offer a similar tapered silhouette as the Zip Detail Trousers ($733), an attribute we can be sure our fellow dedicated Dries fans will be thrilled about.Â--Jessica Baker

POTSDAM For the Olympic athletes clinging to a tiny piece of steel and plastic while hurtling down an icy slope at nearly 90 miles per hour, a fraction of a second could mean the difference between a gold medal and going home empty-handed.
Clarkson University researchers hope to give Americans an edge in the 2018 Winter Olympics in South Korea by using computer modeling to create a sled superior to the hand-crafted variety usually seen today.
Professors Douglas G. Bohl and Brian Helenbrook have been trying to build a better sled since 2010.
Mr. Bohl met members of the U.S. Luge Association, headquartered in Lake Placid, when his son expressed interest in joining a luge team.
Clarkson sponsors the U.S. Luge Association and the design work is being done free of charge.
Luge is a small community, so you get to know the coaches and the athletes that are in there, he said.
Mr. Bohls son no longer luges, but the professors ties to the luge association led to a project that may one day take his work to the Olympics.
The professors had hoped to see their efforts represented in Sochi this year, but the task proved more time-consuming than they had anticipated.
Its a lot more complicated than it looks like when you get into it. We actually had to take a step back to get ourselves into a position to make a real contribution, Mr. Bohl said.
Their progress was not quick enough to create a sled that athletes could get accustomed to in time for the games.
The professors and two students are now refining their efforts. They will take their prototype to Lake Placid next month to begin testing. Specifically, the researchers are designing the pod, or seat, of the small sled. Molds for the shell are usually created by hand, and are prone to error, Mr. Bohl said.
The researchers are recreating the pod as a computer model, which allows it to be manufactured by a machine. It also makes tweaking the design easier, with less room for error.
This digital interface provides a new level of persistence, repeatability and customizability, said graduate student Bryan J. Heckendorf of Woodstock, Conn.
Every time the sled is tested, the team can take what its learned to make changes to the next design, relying on data rather than the popular wisdom that guides the creation of most sleds.
Its important to know whats being changed and why its being changed, Mr. Heckendorf said.
These modifications will shave only a tiny fraction of a second off a top athletes time, but in the Olympics that could be enough to tip the scale, Mr. Bohl said.
The athlete is responsible for most of it, but when you get to a certain level the athletes are all really good, he said.
In the Olympics, a few hundredths of a second is often all that separates the top athletes.
Mr. Heckendorf said his research has led him to be more critical of the way he watches the luge races in Sochi this year.
The sled that theyre using in the Olympics is the old pod design, he said.
It will be interesting to see if his teams updated design will fare better, he said.
America has a long way to go to achieve luge victory. Christopher Mazdzer came in 22nd place in this years mens singles competition Sunday, while Germany, as usual, took home the gold.
So what makes the perfect sled?
I dont know, Mr. Bohl said.
The Clarkson researchers will continue to search for the answer to that question until the 2018 Olympics.

Neither of the two major candidates for U.S. president – Republican John McCain nor Democrat Barack Obama – has successfully protected citizens' personal liberties, Libertarian candidate Bob Barr has claimed.
Barr told an audience in Durham, South Carolina that placing support behind either man on November 4th is the equivalent of "a wasted vote," the Duke Chronicle reports.
The former Republican congressman from Georgia criticized McCain and Obama for supporting amendments to the Federal Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).
These amendments have been the subject of much controversy among civil liberties groups, who claim that they violate Americans' rights by allowing warrantless domestic wiretapping.
"It is the job of the president to protect our liberty," Barr said, according to the news provider.
He then suggested that the two candidates have allowed the government to overextend its reach, saying that "both of the two major parties have an institutional interest in not diminishing the power of the president."
Throughout his political career, Barr has supported shrinking government, combating government violations of personal privacy and reducing – or eliminating – taxes on U.S. citizens.

|UPDATE: Extensive Damage in Afternoon Fire
|Written by Steve Frank
|Wednesday, 22 June 2011 05:21
Boone fire officials have determined that a lightning strike caused extensive damage to a two-story home during the storms that raked the area late yesterday afternoon. The home belonging to Rob Holton of Holton Mountain Rentals was found on fire with the first fire call was placed by neighbors at 5:43 p.m. when they noticed smoke at the house at 861 Windwood Lane,
just off Jake's Mountain Road. A firefighter, living near-by, reported the smoke just as the call was placed to 9-1-1. No one was at the home when the fire started, and neighbors helped to remove several family pets, which were unharmed, according to fire officials. Boone Fire was assisted by tankers and manpower from Blowing Rock and Deep Gap as mutual aid, as well as Foscoe, who came into Boone to cover the main Boone station. Watauga Medics and Watauga Rescue Squad also were on the scene. The fire centered near the chimney on the upper floor, where firefighters could be seen spraying into the walls. Boone fire put estimates of $175,000 in structure damage, another $80,000 to the contents.

Sartorially speaking, shorts don't get much respect. Pleat-front, fanny-pack-bedecked, cargo-embellished, and high-waisted mom shorts may be sneered at and the category as a whole might be considered a put-down (at least when discussed by Bart Simpson), but forget all that because today we are showcasing some seriously chic and spruced up styles. While denim cut-offs have enjoyed prominence for some time now, the looks we're talking about are more along the lines of the directional runway pieces seen on the S/S 09 runways of Dolce & Gabbana and Prada. When Domenico, Stefano, and Miuccia are all on the bandwagon, it's clear the garment has transcended its German-tourist-at-Disneyland reputation. More daring than a tapered-trouser and less overtly sexy than a body-con mini, today we are highlighting the next generation in abbreviated bottoms. Just take some styling direction from today's subjects and in no time at all, you'll be ready to take a spin in this summer's chic shorts!
Thankfully, our well-dressed subjects provided us with myriad variations on the style, but there are a couple of fundamentals that should always be adhered to. Specifically, though you can play with different lengths, the most appropriate proportion for this incarnation of formal shorts is slightly voluminous (perhaps a stowaway from fall's harem trend?). Another suggestion: take a pair of pants you have relegated to the back of your closet, and have them altered to mid-thigh height. You may end up with a satin diaper, but you may also end up with an incredibly desirable D-I-Y design on your hands! Although all of our trendsetters opted for tucked in blouses (graphically-print tops, lacy blousons, and simple or sheer black are all lovely compliments!), be sure to spruce up the look with a great heel, a statement piece of jewelry, and, of course, plenty of leg (try the lightweight and hydrating Naked Body Butter Lite ($29) from Bliss to keep your gams looking glam!)
Proportion and pairing options aside, we've noticed that many members of the fashionable crowd are partial to dressy shorts that come in interesting prints and rich materials. While attending Bulgari's "Between Eternity and History" dinner party, Margherita Missoni (the de-facto poster girl for her family's luxury line) picked a wonderfully patterned short-and-top combo from-you guessed it-Missoni's S/S09 collection. Historically known for their kaleidoscopic knits, we think her Mammola Jumpsuit ($2496, 212.517.9339) is a modern marvel; try See by Chloe's High-Waisted Shorts ($206) with a concentrically circled chemise to achieve Missoni's tasteful take. Meanwhile, Elle's newest staffer, Olivia Palermo, provided another example of how to wear a dressier short in a more subtle pattern at the launch festivities for Matthew Williamson's for H&M earlier this summer. The City-star's Stone Embellished Boucle Dion Shorts ($40), from the Swedish purveyors of fast-fashion looked quite snazzy with her Chanel clutch and Topshop necklace (try their Fabric Wrapped Chain Necklace ($40) for an equally high-impact and high-street piece!). Though Palermo's pick won't be available until late August, we can recommend Silence & Noise's High-Waisted Shorts ($38), which are available now to help you achieve her assemblage.
Another way to up the chic ante when it comes to shorts is to choose a pair in unexpected material, like leather, as jewelry designer Genevieve Jones did at a private screening of The Brother's Bloom. We've spotted other sartorially savvy ladies like Gwyneth Paltrow and Lauren Santo Domingo in Proenza Schouler's High Waist Leather Short ($1150), but we like Ms. Jones' interpretation the best. Leather shorts work well for breezy al fresco evening events, and will look smart with opaque tights well into fall. Be sure to snag the Proenza pair, or check out Brigid Catiis' Bubble Shorts ($154) for a look-a-like alternative.
Of course, some of today's subjects opted to wear simpler styles. Kate Moss, fashion icon par excellence, picked flared shorts with pleating detail to run errands in London with boyfriend Jamie Hince. Though it helps to have never-ending stems, anyone can look Moss-marvelous in Forever 21's Marina Shorts ($20). Another interesting hem-choice comes to us vis-à-vis industry-darling, Diane Kruger, who opted to dabble in the season's key khakis while attending some shows during Mercedes Benz' Berlin F/W 2010 fashion week. Her ensemble was both casual and chic, and we love how her delicate lacy blouse creates a nice contrast with her more utilitarian cuffed bottoms; J. Crew's Poplin Shorts ($40) mimic Kruger's pocketed pair and would look great with your favorite Victorian top. Finally, we have LA Candy author, Lauren Conrad who looked quite polished in Alex Lane's Pleated Silk Shorts ($169). Her rolled-hemmed version is perfectly understated and elegant, but we think Topshop's Silk Shorts ($60) would look just as posh with a tucked-in top for a book signing or just a night on the town.

While I appreciate your response. I fear you have misunderstood what im after. I want to use more than 2 external drives AND be able to use 3TB HDDs (ie: 5 3TB HDDs hooked up at once. 4 on a USB HUB and one more on the second WDTV+ port)
Right now, the official WD firmware allows 3TB HDDs, but does NOT allow a simple 4 port USB HUB to extend library capacity. Its my understanding that this was a feature at one time that for w/e reason was taken away (I may be mistaken). There is also an unofficial firmware that has the ability to to run a USB HUB, but can not run 3TB HDDs. I know theres the whole "updated kernel" drama preventing them from adding the 3TB support. Regardless, I would expect and prefer this simple feature to be provided officially.
WD, a leader in the HDD industry of all people shouldnt have a limit of 2 drives. If im a HDD manufacturer, I want to sell more HDDs. Why wouldnt I give people a good reason to buy more product? This just seems like such a no brainer. Why in the world would you even THINK about limiting the HDD to only 2? I simply am baffled that this request has been floating around these boards for as long as it has. So rather than inform the users or provide an option that clearly seems possible in the units weve purchased, we are offered to buy a new unit that does everything we want. Even on your feature requests one shows its being worked on while another shows its not being considered. How are we the end user supposed to have any faith or optimism in what to expect when the people here to help dont seem to know whats going on?
Maybe releasing this "updated kernel" to the un-official group isnt a bad idea. At least it would keep me with WD. If im going to be forced into buying a new unit, as my patients wear thin, im going to think twice about giving more money to WD. I dont need all the bells and whistles that some do. Multiple HDDs (more than 2) and media center are all I need. Insane that this would be too much to ask from a company as big as WD.
Im new to posting here, but have read through a good bit of the forums here. I sorry to tell you but im already starting to feel like one of the Sneetches on the beaches and WD is Sylvester McMonkey McBean (Dr Seuss)
""My friends", he announced in a voice clear and clean,
"My name is Sylvester McMonkey McBean.
And I've heard of Your troubles. I've heard you're unhappy.
But I can fix that, I'm the Fix-It-Up Chappie.
I've come here to help you.
I have what you need.
And my prices are low. And I work with great speed.
And my work is one hundred per cent guaranteed!"
Then, quickly, Sylvester McMonkey McBean
Put together a very peculiar machine."
Bill, I for one appreciate all you do, but this seems a bit ridicuous at this stage.
This dates all the way back to October 2011.
Dec 15th is was down to "a couple issues to iron out".
Dec 20th "beginning of the year".
Jan 31 it was going to be February.
February 16, and I know Blockbuster's decision has to do with the way they do things not WD, but come on Bill so I'm supposed to sit here with a WD unit that shows Blockbuster but can't use it.?.
Feb 22nd, Planning a release.
And then ... to no one's suprise they need more time with testing and such.
And here we still sit wondering ... will we ever see an update?
If WD simply realized that it could differentiate itself by being the premium NAS streamer device with a few "Core" apps at a $99 or less price point it would sell like crazy. CORE APPS: Pandora, Netflix, YouTube. That's it. You want more apps, buy a Roku or ATV. But, if you want na awesome streamer buy WD...that should be how they position themselves.
It's common sense, WDs core business is hard drives! I love their new MyBook Live NASs. Why they don't focus their Media player to be a bare bones yet best in class DLNA NAS streamer is crazy. Clearly, that could be their differentiator. Stop trying to go toe to toe with Roku and ATV on apps. Win in the space that is complementary to your core business.....streaming from NASs. The other players don't do it or don't do it well.
Oh and by the way, part of being a best in class streaming device is making sure that the stream acts exactly like a DVD, meaning menu support must work flawlessly.
Any updates on new firmwares? I'm sick of the microstuttering in VC-1 and some Xvid Files ( On Local and Lan )
Bill? WD? Anyone? hello...echo...echo...echo.
I guess we can close the book on this streamer. That last firmware update is a myth I guess.
Or not.
As far as I know, it's still for real. I'll check into it to see if there's any updates on time.
Hey Bill, is there an update on the time it's going to take you to find out the update timeframe on the (mythical) wd tv live firmware? LOL
I'm still looking into this. I'll post any news as soon as I can.
I know it's Monday, but I still haven't heard anything that I can post. I do know they're still working on it, though.

How Alumni Can Assist Grinnell College Students
Most Grinnell alumni would agree that helping others and giving back to the community feel good. Listed here are many ways you can give back to the College and stay involved through the Career Development Office; choose one that works for you or blend several together. We also welcome new ideas for creative or innovative programming and look forward to your suggestions. The CLS encourages alumni to consider assisting current Grinnell students by participating in one or more of the following programs:
Grinnellink Receptions
- Casual and informal opportunities for students to connect with alumni and talk about the career path you have chosen, the part of the country you live in, and the experiences you've had since graduation.
- Available and advertised to all students these provide valuable networking opportunities.
Externship Program
- Students connect with alumni during school breaks for a 3-5 day job shadowing and professional advising, as well as a homestay. Students arrange travel plans for the break. A sample schedule could include an organization tour, introduction to organization staff, resume review, mock/informational interviews, trends discussion, shadowing time, etc.
- Serves first or second year students.
- Provides undecided students with an opportunity to explore career options.
- Students gain industry/organization knowledge, networking skills, insight into a specific field of interest, and a direct connection to alumni.
- Alumni offer professional advising and organizational knowledge.
- Alumni may recommend this opportunity to class members, colleagues, and key contacts.
Grinnellink Summer Internships
Alumni or friends of the College offer internship opportunities at their companies or organizations exclusively for Grinnell College students to gain practical work experience in a chosen career field. Process: Alumni submit a description to the CLS describing the actual internship responsibilities, skills desired, specific projects and application process. Opportunities are advertised to students who then apply based on the information provided. Many alumni provide direct supervision and mentoring for the intern, and others simply make arrangements for the intern to work directly with other professionals at their organization. Internships take place in the U.S. and abroad during the summer for a minimum of eight weeks of full-time work. Internships may be funded through alumni donation, by the site, or possibly through available Grinnell College funding. Grinnellink internships must be open to Grinnell College students only. Alumni may recommend this opportunity to class members, colleagues, and key contacts. Contact the CLS for more information if you are interested in hosting a Grinnell College student during the summer.
Externship Program Information
The Grinnell College Externship Program is designed for students interested in a career exploration experience. These students are typically first and second year students who are fairly undecided about their major and/or career path. Students gain an understanding of how their academic preparation can be used in work settings and also get a glimpse of the extent of their knowledge and skills. They gather information and perspectives that are helpful in making career choices and/or planning for graduate or professional education.
Your organization will benefit from the Externship Program by including a bright, inquisitive student with working staff. The Grinnell College extern is a liberal arts student with writing, analytical, and research skills. Students who have chosen to participate in the Externship Program are interested and motivated to learn from a career exploration experience.
The campus community also reaps benefits from the Externship Program. Students return to the campus with new experiences and perspectives about career exploration and development as well as industry knowledge that can be shared with their peers and instructors.
Thank you so much for considering participating in the Externship Program and investing in your fellow future alumni.

If you have any questions about your participation in the Spring Break 2014 program, please contact Kelly Guilbeau [guilbeau[at]grinnell[dot]edu], Internship Counselor in the Center for Careers, Life, and Service.
What is an externship: *Externships vary in length, but usually last three to five days. They generally involve a student shadowing a professional through a normal day's activities and may include informational interviews, a tour of the facility, and participation in actual office projects, etc.
What is the difference between an internship and an externship: *Externships are short-term, offer no pay (though *some* transportation funding is available through the CLS), and are hosted by alumni volunteers in various organizations to help students gain an insider's view of a career field. Internships are longer term (a semester or summer), may involve pay and academic credit, and support an organizations work function.
Why does a student do an externship: *An externship is an excellent way for students to learn about the day-to-day work life of a professional in a career field of your choice. It offers students the chance to "test" a career without the risk of long- term commitment and can help them get their foot in the door for a competitive internship program or job.
How does this program work...
...for alumni: Alumni fill out the online registration form. The CLS will contact you with confirmation of your involvement. Should students preference your placement, the CLS will match one student with your externship experience. You should receive information about the student (e.g., name, resume, class year) by late February/early March. The student will stay with you for the 3-5 day period during the College's spring break (March 15-30, 2014) that you indicated in your online registration form. Read further on The Role of the Alumni Mentor to learn ways to engage the student during their job shadow with you. You will fill out a final evaluation of the student and the externship program and send it to the CLS at the end of the externship.
...for students: Students apply for the externship program, preferencing their top 3 externship placements. CLS matches first and second year students with alumni mentors/externship placements. Students stay 3-5 days with the alumnus/a and observe him/her at work as a method to not only further understand that career field but how that career fits into one's life. This program is intended to be a jump off point for students to start exploring their career options and talking with professionals in order to: [1] clarify their career exploration and interests, [2] connect their course work to outside the classroom and their future plans, and [3] connect with and learn from alumni externship mentors.
* Descriptions provided from University of Arkansas, University Career Development Center Website:http://career.uark.edu/Students/Externships.aspx

It is official; the two remaining major players in the Canadian mobile phone industry will carry the iPhone. In two separate news releases, Bell Canada and Telus announced the launch of their new 3G network and partnerships with Apple that will allow them to carry the iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS. There is no official date set for the release but both corporate websites suggest it will be available in November.
With major mobile companies in Canada upgrading their network to support 3G, isn't it time for Sprint and Verizon to do the same? We're not sure but one thing is certain, they are missing a great opportunity with growing popularity of the iPhone. The fight should be over at this point and clearly 3G networks have won, it's time to do right and get on the 3G bandwagon. The result for end users is more variety which in turn results in lower costs, more features and overall better innovation in Smartphones. Don't hold your breathe but let's see if Sprint and Verizon follow the lead of their northern counterparts.

text: The Western Mining and Railroad Museum in Helper recently hosted the "Abraham Lincoln self made in America" exhibit. Les and Randee Schultz, both in era clothing, proudly show off their personal collection of reproductions of the Civil War era. In this exhibit, Les' display included horse and soldier gear, a Colt Navy army pistol, and a wrist breaker saber. Randee proudly displayed items and clothing that she personally sewed with reproduction fabrics from the era as well, including a parasol, a chemise, and a corset. Les and Randee were on hand to explain the significance and importance of their collection to the public as they visited the museum. In Les's collection the wrist breaker saber received its name from the saber being so long and heavy, that if the soldier was to hit anything that was really hard, it would usually break the wrist of the soldier. When asked about her collection Randee stated," Women of this era had only one or two outfits, but had many chemises. They could easily wash them so in turn this helped to keep the outside garment clean." Randee's artful ability to sew these costumes, their wonderful collection, and their knowledge and love of the history, is what makes this Price couple unique. Living and breathing their love for this, they are readily recognized in the community. This exhibit ran through July 16.

How to properly clean your Chacos
We are not chemists nor rocket scientists, but we wear our Chacos constantly, and we know what works and what doesn't. We also believe in helping you maintain your investment to keep your Chacos going for years. Our suggestions are low-impact, safe methods and will not delaminate the rubber, nor cause the webbing to crack or fade.
Chaco Sandals: the unofficial official recovery sandal of the Rock/Creek Race Team
If you've seen members of the Rock/Creek Race Team at trail races around the country, you've probably seen more than one pair of Chacos, and that's no accident. Chaco isn't an official sponsor of our Race Team, but so many of our runners wear Chacos before and after racing that we're going to go ahead and call them an unofficial one...
Rock/Creek & Chaco Sandals donate $3,000 to plant trees in Chattanooga
The $3,000 will fund the planting of 18 trees in two sections of median on Dallas Road in Chattanooga. The species selected for planting is an American Elm cultivar called "Princeton," bred for its resistance to Dutch Elm Disease. By selecting the American Elm, we're re-introducing a native tree to the urban landscape...

The King Whisperers: Power Behind the Throne, from Rasputin to Rove : When it comes to political cunning, manipulation, ambition, and furthering an agenda, the forty-seven behind-the-scenes players in these pages are the gold standard. An intriguing twist on the popular "great leaders" view of history, this extraordinary book focuses on dominant advisors, counselors, officials, and other king whisperers, from biblical times to the twenty-first century. They represent some of the most effective speakers, writers, revolutionaries, ideologues, and villains in world history. Whether in control of battle fields, ballot boxes, or even entire empires, these influential people rose to positions of influence from the dark shadows and narrow corridors of power.

Even though the machine carried the SNK and NeoGeo brands, the console was not designed and manufactured by SNK. Instead, it was the work of tech company Tommo.
Gamer does not give a specific reason as to why production is ending so quickly, but, as the box says, it was a limited edition console. That could be why. Back in December, it was announced on Game Watch Impress that production for the machine would be ending, with a TBA for the next time the system would be imported into Japan.
No word on how this impacts regions outside Japan. Kotaku did reach out to SNK for clarification, but did not hear back before this story was published.
It sounds like the NeoGeo X will continue to be supported as there are still plans to release more SNK games for it, as well as a screen protector for the NeoGeo X handheld and an AC adapter.
Update: Siliconera reports that only the "limited edition" NeoGeo X units are out of production. The original report from Japanese site Gamer did not make such a clarification.

David Terry's letter should be mandatory reading.
So, what functional role does the President of the United States of America have to play in any of this police state that we currently enjoy?
I'm thinking that Nancy-we-won't-know-what's-in-it-until-we-pass-it-Pelosi is deserving of some honorable mention, too.
How about Ol' Iron Pant's Clinton, where has she weighed in on any of this NSA police state stuff?
Dr. Gibson,
I know you mentioned it, but the cost of prescription medication cannot be overlooked when determining savings for medical care.
Pills that cost hundreds for each! Injections well into the thousands! Could the ingredients needed to make these remedies be so rare and limited that they rival the price of very precious metals? Seriously? A frickin' pill!
Or, as I suspect, someone is making a monetary killing, while our politicians are well paid to look the other way.
Think about it -- The public pays a high price for medication, and, in turn, some of that money is filtered to various politicians for legislative or departmental favors. If one had to pick a place to begin, breaking up that particular partnership would be a great start.
That's right Don. Super PACS suck.

1) What do you mean by "good handling." I was able to confidently do my work after a few weeks. I was able to confidently troubleshoot after about 8 months. I've been using it exclusively for 3 years now, and my general knowledge of the system is just as good if not worse than it was after 8 months. I found that when everything in Linux was new, I devoured the knowledge like a hungry hungry hippo. I knew Debian inside and out. Then when there was nothing left to learn that held appeal to me, I started branching into other things like development of apps, etc... I'm still learning that kind of thing every day. So in short, 2 weeks to get your work done (probably less nowadays with all the modern fancy distros out there), 6 months to get to know the underlying system.
2) I started when I had just turned 18.
3) Does HTML count? If so, then it's HTML. If not, C++.
4) If we're talking HTML, I learned enough to hack together your standard webpage in 2 weeks in the summer before junior high. However, HTML is a markup language and dead simple to boot. My first real programming language was C++, taught to me through my university (yes, I had never even seen programming languages before I came to university as a computer engineer! Thanks a lot, high school!). Again, it depends on what you mean by "good handle" on the language. The class lasted one term (4 months), and by the time we finished I was as fluent as a new programmer can be expected to be (confident with concepts like abstract classes/virtual functions, templating, inheritence, static members, etc... but without much experience to know how these can be useful).
5) It actually took me longer than I would have liked. I wanted to get involved after my first year of using Linux, but I didn't start doing much 'till after my second year due to just being too busy. So it was a little past my second year mark when I started learning code in earnest. I still am not affiliated with any specific project, but have done patches here and there for various Gnome programs.
What's this survey for, anyway?

James spent most of his growing up years in Stillwater, Okla. From 1955-57, he went with his family to live in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
James graduated from Stillwater High School. He had an associate degree in drafting from Oklahoma State University.
He served active duty in the U.S. Navy for about two years, where he achieved the rank of yeoman third class. His ships were the USS Maddox and the USS Brinkley Bass. He received the National Defense and the Vietnam Service Medals.
After his naval release, James attended Oklahoma State three more semesters and then began a business career with Dover Corporation, Norris Division. He was primarily a sales engineer for Dover for 25 years in Tulsa, Okla., and Atlanta. While based in Atlanta, his sales territory was a large part of the eastern seaboard. Later, James worked for 14 years as technical writer and cost estimator for AID Corporation in Clayton.
James lived in Clayton out in the woods in a house he designed. He spent numerous hours on his deck and tramping through the land he loved while listening to the rushing creek and the singing birds and watching deer come down in the evenings. He was known for his humor, his interest in just about everything and his creative abilities. His final message would be "Go live your lives and laugh often."
James leaves behind: his sisters, Linda Burley and spouse CK Woo of Davis, Calif., and Elanus Symon and spouse Randy of Trenton, Ohio; a son, Derek Frazier and spouse Tammani and their children, Tristan and Sadie, all of Tyler, Texas; nieces, Alisha Woo of San Francisco, Rebekah Symon and son Jackson of Franklin, Ohio, and Katie Lamb, spouse Jeremy and their children Wyatt Smith, Cassidy and Lacey Lamb, all of Franklin, Ohio; and nephews Roger Symon of Franklin, Ohio, and Geraldton Symon, spouse Carrie and son Ethan, all of Trenton, Ohio.

A Summons to Memphisby Peter Taylor
Synopses & ReviewsPlease note that used books may not include additional media (study guides, CDs, DVDs, solutions manuals, etc.) as described in the publisher comments.
Publisher Comments:
One of the most celebrated novels of its time, the Pulitzer Prize winner A Summons to Memphis introduces the Carver family, natives of Nashville, residents, with the exception of Phillip, of Memphis, Tennessee.
During the twilight of a Sunday afternoon in March, New York book editor Phillip Carver receives an urgent phone call from each of his older, unmarried sisters. They plead with Phillip to help avert their widower father's impending remarriage to a younger woman. Hesitant to get embroiled in a family drama, he reluctantly agrees to go back south, only to discover the true motivation behing his sisters' concern. While there, Phillip is forced to confront his domineering siblings, a controlling patriarch, and flood of memories from this troubled past.
Peter Taylor is one of the masters of Southern literature, whose work stands in the company of Eudora Welty, James Agee, and Walker Percy. In A Summons to Memphis, he composed a richly evocative story of revenge, resolution, and redemption, and gave us a classic work of American literature.
"One could easily phrase a fitting subtitle for this novel: The Memoirs of a Sane Man. Other current American writers have at times shared Taylor's interest in the Reasonable Man — Bellow and Updike come to mind — but no one, I think, has more finely illuminated a self secure in its sanity. A Summons to Memphis is the long and nearly uninterrupted monologue of its protagonist, Tennessee expatriate Phillip Carver, recounting the trials of his family. Also, it is a tale of revenge, for Phillip's spinster sisters have summoned him home to help prevent the remarriage of their elderly father, the man whose willfulness has circumvented their own happiness. Inherent in both the monologue and the revenge tale is the lure of the solipsistic and the grotesque, yet one can sense Taylor deliberately eschewing these temptations. Sanity is seldom the raw material for an engaging novel, but in the deft hands of Peter Taylor, it provides the matter for a minor masterpiece. Read A Summons to Memphis for a sense of the world as, for its survival, the world must be." Reviewed by Andrew Witmer, Virginia Quarterly Review (Copyright 2006 Virginia Quarterly Review)
"We finish the novel feeling we've not only come to know his characters, but also come to share their inner truths." Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times
"A Summons to Memphis is like a leisurely port wine sipped slowly and with pleasure beneath a blackjack oak." The Philadelphia Inquirer
"A beautiful ironic novel. Peter Taylor's fiction is full of rewards." The New York Times Book Review
"Something of a miracle....[A Summons to Memphis] is a work that manages to summarize and embody its author's entire career." The Washington Post Book World

CANTON A positive drug test for THC on Wednesday in St. Lawrence County Court led to an Ogdensburg man claiming smoking marijuana is a part of his religion.
Ibrahim M. Abdulghani, 41, of 315 Belmont Courts, pleaded not guilty to possession or transportation of unstamped cigarettes, a class E felony.
Mr. Abdulghani was the last of three people arrested for allegedly being in possession of 10,080 individual, untaxed cigarettes.
Mr. Abdulghani was at the residence of Robert D., 32, and Heather S. Leeson, 31, of 443 Belmont Courts, when the three were arrested during the execution of a search warrant Feb. 11 at that address.
Before releasing Mr. Abdulghani, St. Lawrence County Judge Jerome J. Richards told him that he would have to be tested for drugs by probation officials. The defendant responded that he would test positive for marijuana as he is a Rastafarian and smoking marijuana is a part of his spirituality.
Because of my culture, it will leave me in bad standing with the Lord, Mr. Abdulghani told Judge Richards when he was informed that he would not be allowed to smoke marijuana under probation supervision. Its not breaking the law, it is a religious sacrament.
He subsequently did test positive for THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol.
When Mr. Abdulghani returned to court, Judge Richards warned him that if he didnt want to go to jail, he would abide by the rules of court and the laws of the state.
It is illegal, religion or not, to smoke marijuana, Judge Richards said. So not only are you going against a court order, you are breaking the law, and I cant tolerate that.
Mr. Abdulghani was released under probation supervision; however, Judge Richards further reminded him that if he refused to submit to drug tests administered by the probation department it would count as a positive drug test and he would find himself back in court, where we wont be talking about released under probation supervision.
Leaving the courtroom, Mr. Abdulghani continually repeated, God is no drug, shaking his head.

Through creative use of audio layering and filters, Peter "Flash! Bang!" Sneddon transformed the incidental sounds and music of The Elder Scrolls V into "Sounds of Skyrim (Flash! Bang! Dubstep Remix)". In the YouTube description for the song, Sneddon explains some of his techniques.
For example the kick was made by layering a punch, the bassy part of firing a bow, and pressing B in the save menu, compressing and EQ'ing them all individually.
The snare was comprised of chopping wood, jumping in a puddle and eating an ingredient then leaving the menu. These were again all compressed and EQ'ed individually then put in a sampler and bussed reverb was added.
The white noise build up is a wind noise that has a filter sweep on it with a high res peak.
The result speaks for itself. Quite impressive, really. Makes me wonder if people like Sneddon just hear things differently.

PAWTUCKET — According to skipper Andy Hallam, Lincoln High had spent too much time during the pre-season dwelling on which Division I-North stalwarts it would be playing and when instead of focusing on the task at hand: Winning.
"They got caught up in that," Hallam stated. "Earlier this week, we talked about taking it one game at a time, and not getting too excited about any particular team."
That philosophy worked rather well on Friday afternoon. Junior righty Justin Conti delivered a workmanlike, complete-game six-hitter with two walks and three strikeouts as the Lions posted a solid 4-1 triumph over St. Raphael Academy at Vets Park.
His batterymate, sophomore Jake Petrin, aided his hurler offensively, going 1-for-3 with two RBI and a run scored as the Lions moved to 4-3 in league action.
Prior to the tilt, Lincoln and the Saints had sat in a tie for third place in I-North at 3-3 (with Woonsocket), but Hallam's bunch gained the inside track – at least over SRA – for a playoff bid.
In a losing effort, senior southpaw Zach Mitsmenn pitched superbly – excepting one category. He yielded just two hits, both in a three-run fourth frame, and struck out a pair, but walked a whopping nine, including three in the top of the seventh.
As a result, he fell to 1-2 on the campaign.
"He's 125 pounds of heart; he always wants the ball," Hallam grinned of Conti. "If he could, he'd pitch every day. He doesn't throw the ball real hard, but he keeps the ball in the strike zone and the hitters off-balance. I thought his breakers were excellent.
"As for Jake, he's had some big RBI for us this season," he added. "His batting average isn't as gaudy
as Nick's (senior leadoff hitter Nick Zammarelli), but he has taken advantage of his opportunities in the fourth spot, and he was key here.
"Still, last year, our games with Saints were tight. Mitsmenn's a really tough lefty, and – obviously – Coach (Tom) Sorrentine always has them prepared. We're always excited to play them because they're so well-coached, and they compete."
Sorrentine's club dropped to 3-4, despite outhitting its foe by four. It also stranded eight baserunners, including six in scoring position.
"(The victory) definitely puts them in a better situation," Sorrentine said after the contest. "We really wanted this; we needed to win this one. Zach pitched OK, but he walked too many. I mean, nine walks are nine free bases. They only had two hits, but with the walks, it was like 11.
"We also made too many errors (three)," he continued, "so we gave them a lot of opportunities to score."
It looked as if St. Raphael would draw first blood in the second, when senior Tom Calabro ripped a line-drive single to left to open the frame, then took second after freshman Dylan Boisclair reached on a bloop bunt hit, one just out of Conti's reach.
Ricky Vichroski laid down another bunt, this one a sacrifice out, to push the baserunners into scoring position, but Nick Sisto popped out to third baseman Zammarelli, who immediately spun and tagged third for the unassisted double play.
Lincoln seemed ready to assemble a rally in the third. With one out, senior Dan Cameron drew a base-on-balls, but Conti fouled out to right before Cameron robbed second. Zammarelli then walked, though – like Conti – junior designated hitter Jeff Cameron fouled out to right as well.
In the back half, Mitsmenn reached on a two-out fielding miscue, then hustled to second on a passed ball, but junior Bob Bracken grounded out to end it.
The Lions notched all the runs they would need on this day in the top of the fourth. McManus led the flurry with a double to left, then stole third. Petrin's opposite-field hit to the right-center gap plated McManus, and Petrin took second when Mitsmenn's pickoff attempt couldn't be handled by first baseman Ben Duarte.
Junior Alec Cronan immediately reached on a fielder's choice (Mitsmenn threw late to third to get Petrin), and Ryan Fournier raced to second on third baseman Sisto's skipping toss to first; the error allowed Petrin to scamper home.
Mitsmenn then walked junior Sam Brito to load the bags, though Cameron bounced to second baseman Chris Karalis, who threw to Boisclair at the plate to get Cronan. Conti fanned for the second out, but Zammarelli (who walked four times) drew a free bag to plate Fournier.
With Sheehan at the plate, the southpaw fired a wild pitch, but Boisclair threw back to Mitsmenn, who applied the tag to Brito trying to score. The Lions nevertheless held a pivotal 3-0 advantage.
The Saints had an opportunity to close the gap in the bottom of the fourth when Calabro beat out an infield hit and took second on Zammarelli's low throw to second, but Boisclair popped out to third and Vichroski grounded to short.
Sorrentine's bunch finally broke through in the fifth after Sisto reached on another infield throwing miscue, moved to second on Karalis' "swinging bunt" out and scored when Mitsmenn pounded a triple down the right-field line.
Bracken followed with a walk, but Conti forced Ben Roy to ground to second for the final out.
In the seventh, Mitsmenn issued walks to Conti, Zammarelli and Sheehan before Sorrentine replaced him with Karalis. He fanned McManus, though Petrin's sacrifice fly to center plated Conti with the insurance run.
In the bottom half, SRA seemed poised to create a surge after leadoff batter Sisto reached on a bad-hop single to short and Ben Duarte walked. Karalis, however, flew to right, Mitsmenn grounded to first and Bracken struck out to end it.
"We just had a lack of timely hitting," Sorrentine noted afterward. "I thought (Lincoln) played pretty good defense overall. Now we've got to get back on track. We won our first two, lost two in a row, and now we're 3-4; we've lost four of our last five.
"We need to work on getting the big hit when we get guys in scoring position," he added. "I think our pitching has been alright, and I'm happy with it. Those guys have kept us in games; it's not like we're getting blown out, but we're not playing well defensively. We've got get the whole package going again."

Emergency personnel assist at the scene of a single vehicle traffic accident last Wednesday afternoon on Fairgrounds Road.
Seven people incurred injuries in connection with the July 16 mishap.
The accident reportedly occurred when a vehicle driven by Joshua Martinez, 24 of Price, left the roadway about a quarter mile east of the softball diamonds, then rolled two and one-half times down an embankment.
'It appears the vehicle was traveling to fast for the conditions,' indicated Carbon County Sheriff James Cordova. 'He failed to negotiate the curve.'
Traveling with Martinez were his wife, 25-year-old Tanya, and five children, ranging in age from 1 to 7 years old.
Several passengers, including children, along with a small dog were purportedly thrown from the rolling vehicle.
'It was just pure luck no one died,' noted Cordova. 'Not one person in the car was strapped in.'
According to Cordova, neither alcohol nor drugs apparently contributed to the accident.
Martinez was cited for traveling too fast for existing conditions and child safety restraint violations.
