Damon Lindelof reveals the biggest story challenge of Star Trek Into Darkness, and the potential villains of Star Trek 3.
Zoe Saldana gives an Avatar sequel update. A Doctor Who love interest joins Transformers 4. Plus Game of Thrones, Under the Dome, and Arrow! Spoilers ahoy!

Star Trek Into Darkness
Co-writer Damon Lindelof explains why a major event in the first Star Trek meant the sequel could never unfold like the original series did, even on one of the most basic of levels:
The first question we were facing, just on a plot level, is can there be a five-year mission when Vulcan blew up? How did that attack — which is essentially a 9/11-like incident in Federation lore — change history? That should be the catalyst for everything that happens in the second movie, so that was the conversation that happened when we initially made the decision to destroy Vulcan, because it's a huge deal. The two key planets in the Federation are Vulcan and Earth, and now one of them is just gone, and it eradicated billions of lives, so we need to talk about that and understand what the ramifications are moving forward. Secondly, I think in the first series of meetings for the second movie, we knew what the first movie was, emotionally, and it was about these people getting to meet each other. It was a philosophical study of logic versus emotion, and ultimately landing on this idea that the two can't be separate. They need each other, and those ideas are represented by Kirk and Spock.
Here's a clip.
Star Trek 3
And looking further ahead, Damon Lindelof suggests the Klingons could well be the main enemy of the next Star Trek movie. Here's what he said, in response to a question about whether the team already has plans for the third film:
"I think that is a reasonable conclusion. You should always know where you've been, you should always know where you are, but most importantly, and I learned this from Lost, you should know where you're going… You can never see enough Klingons, and I think in this film we've given the audience a little taste, but there's also a promise that there's a larger conflict on the horizon, and that would be fun to see."
He also suggests that this new incarnation of the franchise could one day incorporate elements from The Next Generation:
You can't talk about Trek and not talk about the Borg, and certainly about Q. Very iconic adversaries from The Next Generation which is, outside of the original cast films, was my entry way into Star Trek, so I wouldn't mind getting – towards the end of our run on Star Trek, maybe baby Picard could be born. There has to be some sort of crossover we're not thinking of.
Star Wars: Episode VII
Bad Robot producer Bryan Burk says the movie will likely start filming in 2014:
We're progressing on a schedule to hopefully begin next year, or the beginning of next year, and the location is still kind of floating around in the air all depending on script and a whole bunch of other issues. As I just said, everything is kind of a free-flowing thing, and when we feel like the story level on this script and everything is really coming together and schedules are all working and pieces line up, we prowl ahead, and Star Wars will be no different.
So that's when the movie might start shooting, but what about where? Well, if you believe The Sun — which you probably shouldn't, but let's just roll with it — one filming location could be Scotland. The report quotes this supposed inside source, which might be bullshit, but what the hey:
"Location bosses feel Scotland possesses stunning scenery perfect for movie backdrops. They will look great on the big screen and the rock formations will replicate the perception of mountainous planets. It will be the first time Star Wars has ever been shot north of the border."
Early location scouting is certainly conceivable, but it should be pointed out that Michael Arndt's screenplay probably still isn't finished yet, so the story could still change to the extent that Scottish exteriors would no longer make sense… again, assuming the original report is credible in the first place. Still, the thought of filming a Star Wars film in an actual location is an appealing one indeed. [The Sun]
Mark Hamill once again effortlessly proved that Mark Hamill is the best with a recent appearance at the CapeTown Film Festival, in which he discussed his own hopes for the next trilogy:
"I've only had one creative meeting about the new films, but I do remember saying, 'We've got to find a proper balance between CGI and old school [FX]. That's what the challenge is, is to try and meet expectations of what you guys want. I think there's nothing wrong with CGI, but I think you have to have a balance, because the camera perceives the width and the depth and the weight – even if it's a miniature model, the camera just realizes that. So when you have too much CGI and the clouds are CGI and the trees are CGI and the buildings are CGI, you're getting to a point where the figure in the shot is like a hybrid of an animated film and live-action. And I want it to have an organic look so that we don't get into Roger Rabbit territory." He then added, with a laugh, "But I don't imagine that the priority is what I want!"
There's more general Mark Hamill awesomeness at the link, including a spirited defense of the prequels that might not be right, exactly, but is still eminently respectable. [IGN]
And screenwriter Simon Kinberg, whose previous credits include Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows and X-Men: Days of Future Past and who is currently working on a standalone Star Wars script, discusses his approach to the material:
We're really at the early phases of figuring out the details, but the spirit of the original movie is the thing I fell in love with, so it's the spirit of that that I think will guide us.
Larry Kasdan said that what sets the original movies apart is that they're more about people than the films that followed. Do you plan to take this new film back in that direction?
Completely. I think what worked so well in all of the "Star Wars" movies is the characters. I think the reason that they're different than other science fiction or other genre movies is because George [Lucas] created a universe of people that you wanted to go back and see over and over again, and that's why it's spanned and spawned so many different mediums, so many different generations, every different language. You want to go back and see those characters, like I did when I was a kid. "Empire Strikes Back" was the first movie I saw in a movie theater more than once. And I went back 10, 15 times in the theater, and I've seen it probably over a 100 times since. But I saw it that many times in the theater because I loved those characters. I loved Han, I loved Leia, I loved Luke, I was right at the age when I was old enough to start to understand the nuance of that movie. I think I was too young for "New Hope" when it came out in the theater, although I loved it and it was my favorite film until "Empire." And then really, that changed my life, that movie.
Man of Steel

Also, for a bit of speculation that Krypton is destroyed after all, go here.
And here are some pictures from a children's book called Man of Steel: The Early Years, which show off more of Clark Kent's childhood, including the science fair he enters and the bullying he endures as a kid. Tons more here. [Comic Book Movie via Comic Book Resources]
Avatar 2 and 3
Star Zoe Saldana suggests 2014 is a likely filming date for the two sequels:
"I think that they're doing a part two and a part three and they're probably going to shoot it at the same time…If we just do two and then wait, I'll probably be 45 or 50 by the time we get to part three. It takes a long time, it's a very hard process."
Transformers 4
Sophia Myles, who played Erika in the Underworld movies and Madame de Pompadour in the Doctor Who episode "The Girl In The Fireplace, has reportedly been cast in a major supporting role, possibly a scientist. She joins a cast that already includes Mark Wahlberg, Stanley Tucci, Kelsey Grammer, Nicola Peltz, and Jack Reynor. [The Wrap]
The latest reports indicate that at least two cast members from the original trilogy will appear in this new incarnation of the franchise, as both Tyrese Gibson and Josh Duhamel are reportedly in line to make cameo appearances in the film. [TFW 2005]
Game of Thrones
Here's a promo for the next episode, "The Bear and the Maiden Fair."
The Walking Dead
Here's a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the fourth season, focused on the "Zombie School."
Under the Dome
Comics genius Brian K. Vaughan, who is the showrunner of CBS's summer adaptation of the Stephen King novel, explains the structure of the season and how the series might depart from the book:
"The first section is fate. The second section is fear. And the third section is fascism. I won't say who is the fascist or what exactly that means, but I think you get the sense that things are going to go wrong very quickly under the dome, and we're going to need an iron fist keeping order… There's sort of a perhaps slightly different explanation for the dome. I nervously pitched Stephen King what a different version of the ending might be. He was very supportive of it, and very complimentary. He said, 'I wish I'd thought of that.' Which I suspect is just Stephen being kind, but he's been great."
Creator Eric Kripke discusses what's ahead on the show, starting with another battle between Miles and Monroe:
"They have another confrontation and sure enough they come to blows, but we were also interested in: Can we basically lock them up in a situation where they're equally armed and equally matched — and not only are they trying to beat the crap out of each other – but forced into a situation where they have to talk to each other? And so we play that out… Anything's possible on this show. We are a show that takes place in a very dangerous world and there are high body counts. We've always said from the beginning — and to their credit, Bad Robot and the network have always been supportive of it — is we have to prove over and over again that this is a dangerous world, which means no one in our principal cast can be truly safe. We keep that tension alive."
Once Upon a Time
Here's the description for the season finale, "And Straight On 'Til Morning," which airs May 12:
THE INHABITANTS OF STORYBROOKE BRACE FOR THE END WHEN THE ANNIHILATION OF THE TOWN BECOMES IMMINENT, MR. GOLD MOURNS THE LOSS OF HIS SON, AND HOOK DISCOVERS A CONNECTION TO A YOUNG BAE IN NEVERLAND, ON THE SEASON FINALE OF ABC'S "ONCE UPON A TIME" — The inhabitants of Storybrooke brace themselves for the end when Greg and Tamara detonate the trigger Regina had placed within the curse, with the annihilation of the town and its residents imminent; and Mr. Gold mourns the loss of his son, Bae/Neal. Meanwhile, back in Neverland of the past, Hook discovers his connection to a young Bae after he rescues him from the sea and soon realizes that the Lost Boys are in hot pursuit of the boy.
And here's a promo and a sneak peek.
Executive producer Andrew Kreisberg explains why this week's episode is just as much a season finale as next week's actual finale:
"For us, episode 22, in a way, is the season finale and episode 23 is the feature film that gets released over the summer. [Episode] 22 would be the finale on any other series and 23 would take it to a whole different level. It's bigger, we spent more time on it, we had additional shooting days, we shot on old Watchmen sets, we spent a lot more money on it, so it feels bigger and epic and it almost feels like a big summer movie. In the comic books, Merlyn is his greatest nemesis. He's the Joker to Green Arrow's Batman. So it felt natural and right that it should come down to the two of them. But it's not just a fisticuffs. There are a lot of emotions tied up in their relationship."

COLLEGE FOOTBALL: Rams out to bounce back from defeat
ASU faces off against SOSU today
SAN ANGELO, Texas - Last weekend, the Angelo State University football team's reward for earning its first national ranking since 2005 was a date with now-No. 1 Abilene Christian.
The Wildcats defeated the Rams 38-14 and knocked ASU out of the national rankings just as fast as the Rams appeared in them.
This week, the Rams' opportunity to rebound and get back on the winning track leads them to Durant, Okla., to face Southeastern Oklahoma, a team they have defeated only once in six meetings since the teams began playing each other in 2002.
"We are going to make the playoffs," ASU sophomore receiver Zach McCormick said. "That is our mindset. We are going to do whatever it takes to do that."
The Rams were rolling. They had won four straight games after a Week 2 loss to Texas State. They opened LSC play with consecutive victories against Southwestern Oklahoma, East Central, Midwestern State and Eastern New Mexico.
They knocked off the ranked Mustangs with a last-second field goal and then slowed down the nation's top-ranked offense in Blackwater Draw, N.M., to spoil the Greyhounds' homecoming.
Their 5-1 start earned them a No. 23 ranking in the AFCA NCAA Division II poll, their first appearance in the poll since the final edition in 2005.
But the Wildcats from arch-rival ACU were too much. They exploited the Rams' run defense like no team had all season, sending ASU from among the conference leaders in total defense to the middle of the pack.
They grounded the ASU air attack, holding the Rams well below their season average and ending quarterback Josh Neiswander's school-record streak of 200-yard passing games. The Wildcats also held ASU to 101 rushing yards — their lowest total of the season.
"My hat's off to Abilene Christian," Carr said. "They are a very good team. We have to learn from our mistakes and come back stronger.
"ACU's defense kind of overwhelmed us. We knew we had to throw the ball to loosen them up and get them out of blitzing us and I don't know if we ever consistently did that. Consequently, we never got on track, really."
The loss may have knocked the Rams out of the national rankings and down a spot in the Super Region Four poll this week (from No. 7 to No. 8) but it didn't eliminate them from the race for the LSC championship.
ASU is tied for third in the LSC with a 4-1 record, a game behind ACU and Texas A&M-Kingsville. The Rams are also sitting third behind those two teams in the LSC South Division.
Today at 2 p.m., they face the only team from the North Division with an overall winning record. Southeastern Oklahoma is 5-2 overall and 3-2 om the LSC. The Savage Storm is tied with Texas A&M-Commerce for the North Division lead at 2-0.
SOSU is coming off a big win against Central Oklahoma, 41-24 last Saturday.
The Rams still boast the best pass rush in the conference and the second-best in the country. ASU has 28 sacks in seven games, tied for first in all of Division II in total sacks and second in sacks per game (4.0).
SOSU's two quarterbacks have been sacked 15 times this season.
With a win, the Rams will remain in the race for the LSC overall and South Division championships heading into their final three games — against West Texas A&M, Tarleton State and Texas A&M-Kingsville.
"This week is a must-win," McCormick said.
Angelo State at Southeastern Oklahoma
What: Lone Star Conference crossover football game.
When: 2 p.m. today.
Where: Durant, Okla.
Records: ASU is 5-2 overall, 4-2 in the LSC; SOSU is 5-2, 3-2.
Radio: 1:45 p.m. on KIXY 94.7-FM.
Of note: SOSU leads the all-time series 4-1. ASU's lone win came in 2005.

By KAREN BASSOStaff writer
In an effort to make the city a safer place, Helper police department is in the process of launching two programs to benefit residents.
The first program is geared toward assisting local children.
The McGruff House program has been in effect across the state for several years, but seems to have fallen to the way side. Helper police are ensuring that the program resurfaces and becomes an escape for children in danger.
A McGruff House is a temporary haven for children who encounter emergency or frightening situations such as being bullied, followed, or hurt while walking in a neighborhood.
The house also provides a sense and a source of aid. It is not an escort service or a guarantee of safety, but a place for appropriate short-term help by an adult for a child.
Currently, approximately 50 private residences in the Helper city area already participate in the McGruff program.
The responsibilities the participating homeowners assume include:
Telephoning appropriate authorities for help.
Reassuring and assisting children who are frightened or lost.
Assisting children who have medical emergencies by contacting appropriate professionals.
Assisting individuals who fear becoming victims of personal crimes, such as abuse.
Assisting people who have been victimized by crime by calling appropriate authorities.
Reporting crime and suspicious activities to law enforcement officials, providing vehicle and suspect descriptions when possible.
Participants must be 18 years or older and agree to annual background checks.
All individuals who reside in a McGruff home will also be checked and must not have prior criminal convictions.
Program participants will be reviewed each year to make sure circumstances have not changed.
New residents to the home will also undergo background checks.
The police department's main intent of launching this program is to provide safety to the children of Helper. By involving the community, the law enforcement agency hopes to make the city a safer place for children to live and play.
The community is the eyes and ears of the city. Although the police department attempts to protect every child, it is an effort which requires an entire community to make the effort a success.
"We are focusing not only on community involvement, but also education. We are going into the local schools and explaining to the kids what the McGruff program is all about. If the kids don't know that homes with the McGruff poster in them are a safe places, then the community effort is worthless. We want every citizen in Helper to understand the significance of this unique program," explained Helper police chief, George Zamantakis.
The city's police department is currently in the process of educating Helper's citizens about the importance of the program.
The city's law enforcement officials are also hoping that the enrollment rate will increase with the education campaign.
A second program is also in the works, according to the police department. The program is designed to provide safety and information to Helper residents.
In fact, the neighborhood watch program allows citizens to become the eyes and ears of the community.
"By the end of this year, we hope to have this program up and in full swing. It provides us an opportunity to educate the community and keep them updated on what's happening in the area," explained Zamantakis.
The watch program would allow the police department to stay in touch with the Helper residents through a chain of informants.
"We would try to meet as often as possible with the leaders of the watch program. Then these leaders could go out and update their neighbors as to what is happening in the community," Zamantakis explained.
A prime example of how the program would work is the case of the Willow Creek mine explosion, according to law enforcement officials.
If the city of Helper had to be evacuated, the neighborhood watch participants would go door-to-door and inform neighbors of the situation. The result would reduce the amount of time that it would take law enforcement personnel to inform the residents of the circumstances and it also allows residents to stay in contact with their fellow neighbors.
"When we had the Heffelfinger murder suspects come through town, the neighborhood watch program would have been a big help. This would give us the chance to give everyone a heads up on what was going on," stated Zamantakis.
Any Helper resident who is interested in either the neighborhood watch or McGruff programs, citizens should contact the Helper Police Department or visit their website at www.law-enforcement.org/helpercitypd.
Helper officer, Kevin Saccomano is in charge of organizing both programs and can also be contacted at the police department or via e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Sega recently let it dribble out that individuals can purchase the system, too. The hardware is ¥140,000 (US$1,747), while each mini-game costs ¥10,000 ($125). A ¥10 coin box is a ¥25,000 ($312) option for, I guess, those who want to charge family members for toilet use.
So, does this mean Sega is back in the home console business?

Nite Lite Photo Of The Day~
October 28, 2011 3:05 PM
It's a beautiful and rare sight! The Jericho Covered Bridge is the last remaining covered bridge in Harford or Baltimore counties and crosses the Little Gunpowder Falls. You can just imagine…
…horse drawn vehicles rumbling through it with the sound of horses pulling their passengers echoing off the bridge's walls. The 909-foot Burr truss bridge—in all its glory—was built by Thomas F. Forsyth, a Baltimore City machinist, in 1865 as a cooperative effort of Baltimore and Harford counties.

What better way to win the role of Ranger Jones in the Yogi Bear movie than to audition with a bear? That's exactly what comedian T.J. Miller decided to do after auditioning twice and still feeling like he needed that extra something to rise to the top of the pack. Actually, T.J. made the video with director Jordan Vogt-Roberts as a joke, but it got into the hands of Barry M. Meyer, chairman of Warner Bros., who enjoyed it while most likely chortling loudly through a thick cloud of cigar smoke. I just figure that's the only way studio moguls watch anything. T.J. will leave for New Zealand tomorrow to begin shooting. Doesn't leave much time for the method approach to acting… (TheApiary)

IGF entrants are trickling out over the web; you can start the hype machine 'a-rolling. (Hype machines have wheels btw.) Anyway, Apparatus is a new platformer tjat pulls from the high art of Scandinavian attic design. You're a jumble of cubes that falls apart and reassembles at your command. According the makers, students at RMIT University in Melbourne, here's the story:
The apparatus comes to life in an old mansion once owned by an old eccentric inventor, who in his later years of life for whatever reason decided to abandon his invention based pursuits and refurbish his mansion in an antique style.
Pretty keen demo.

"They are an excellent team and are right at the top of their game. You only have to look at their results to see how good they are.
"But a lot of those wins have come at Twickenham and the real test will be doing it away from home too."
However, stand-off Hodge recognises Scotland will require an extra-special performance to defeat England at Twickenham in the penultimate RBS 6 Nations game.
Victory would set Woodward's men on course for a colossal game with Ireland, who also have the Grand Slam in their sights, in the final match of the series.
However, Hodge - who scored all the points in the 19-13 win over the English in April 2000 - knows what it means to a Scottish team to beat the Auld Enemy.
"We have only beaten England twice in about 15 years and it really is special," he said.
"It was a terrible day for weather three years ago, but we deserved the win.
"Chris Paterson kicked well against Wales the other week and he has to keep that form consistently for us at Twickenham."

SWIM'N STALKER Features
Until now, a good "swim jig" has been hard to find! The Swim Stalker swim jig features a bullet-shaped head with a 28 degree bent hook. This profile allows the jig to slide up and over cover and to travel through water with a straight up and down approach. The Swim Stalker features an extra durable, hand-tied skirt with tinsel that provides extra flash and pulsating, underwater action. We recommend rigging with a 3", 4" or 5" Kalin's Grub, which can also be ordered separately. When rigging the jig with a grub simply slide the grub onto the wire trailer keeper and go swimming!

Bobby Cleveland may be the fastest lawn mower driver in the world, but for the engine expert and racing enthusiast, theres more to the sport than just speed.
I always tell everyone I go to the races to socialize, Cleveland said. Thats where I get to see all my friends.
By day, the talkative 54-year-old from Locust Grove, Ga., travels the country helping educate customers on the ins and outs of engine maintenance as Gold Eagles Engine Answerman.
The rest of the time, Cleveland is tinkering with his world champion lawn mower the 104 Octane Boost riding mower.
Gold Eagle hired Cleveland, whod worked as a design engineer and spent 27 years helping manufacture lawn mowers, seven years ago to serve as a face of the company and help build the fastest lawn mower in the world.
It has a 20-horsepower engine and a six-speed lawn mower transmission. The wings on the back are just for looks.
Cleveland set a new land speed record 96.529 mph on the machine in 2010.
Is he crazy?
Yeah, but it scared me so good, Cleveland said. I dont cut grass, I just go fast. But when Im done, the grass is gone.
Cleveland demonstrated the lawn mower earlier at the State Fair, but that ended quickly once law enforcement heard the commotion. They really dont like fast stuff running around here, Cleveland said. When they found out about it, they said, Dont do that again. We dont have enough insurance for you to be acting crazy.

5-year-old is an old pro at cattle shows
Large purple ribbons hang over 5-year-old Jenna Whites stall, and a dozen more are stuffed into the door of her metal locker inside the Iowa State Fair Cattle Barn.
She proudly showed off the belt buckle she won for her reserve champion prospect steer, Pat.
Jenna has been showing cattle for two years, ever since she was old enough to enter competitions.
Her parents, Brent and Shelley White of Blakesburg, have been showing cattle at the State Fair for a number of years, and they noticed early on that Jenna had a love for the animals.
We took her to see the miniature Herefords, and she walked right up and was petting them and kissing on them, Brent White said. I said then that this would be a family event for all of us to do, plus a business for my kids. Its a way to build their life skills
Now Jenna helps feed the animals, keep them clean and halter break them. Her favorite part is giving them baths, prepping them for shows, and of course, winning ribbons.
Her brother Layne is 2, and hell start showing the miniature breeds next year, Brent White said.
The family sells most of their livestock, but not Jennas. Thats a lot to ask of a 5-year-old.
We all get very attached, Brent White said. Usually we just sell the ones I show, but some day shell have to do that, too.

The theme of this week's Letters From Bandcamp is "nothing sad." The sun is finally out on the east coast, and I don't want to harsh your vibe with some lo-fi bedroom tears. Not that there's anything wrong with lo-fi bedroom tears. But this Friday calls for synths that drip with high fructose corn syrup and vocals that sound like Disney characters skipping rope.
Crooked Tooth
Kate and Erika from L.A. describe themselves as "2 cool creeps playin' music," and that music is early '60s-nodding, glitter-bombed pop with a side of one of those giant swirly lollipops.
Yorufuwa*Surumeika is a Tokyo-based band whose twee tendencies sound like they're being attacked by aliens in an industrial warehouse. According to their Bandcamp, they're currently looking for a new member, if you're interested.
Ritual Union
Jacksonville, FL's Alex E. (also of Wild Life Society) and Lindsey Shante clang and klank their way through some really smooth beat work and layered, expansive vocals.
This groovy Indiana duo floats by your bedroom window on a dream-pop cloud washed out with a whole lotta reverb.
Little Spoon
Previous Letters From Bandcamp find, Vacation Dad, runs the cassette label MJMJ. The label's first release of the year came out this week, and it's Little Spoon's third full-length, Girlfriend Forever. Though he's got the squisy synth mayhem down pat, he doesn't have a clue what to do with his hair.

The New Mexico Environment Department sent the Department of Energy and the Los Alamos National Security, LLC a notice of violation of the June 14, 2007 settlement agreement.
In a letter dated June 3, 2011, the violation occurred when the respondents failed to enter environmental data, such as soil, rock and pore gas, from the Los Alamos National Laboratory every week into the Risk Analysis, Communication, Evaluation and Reduction (RACER).
In December, an audit was conducted of the RACER database and the auditors discovered that some available data had not been added. The lab staff informed the audit team that LANL had not been providing all new environmental media data to the New Mexico Community Foundation or adding the data directly to RACER each week since early September 2010.
On Feb. 14, 2011, the draft audit report was provided to NMED by the NMCF. And one of the key findings of the draft audit report was that the lab is no longer providing all new data on a routine basis to RACER. On March 15 at the RACER Project Steering Committee meeting, the lab acknowledged the audit conclusion is essentially correct and that the respondents failed to provide soils, rock and sediments data into RACER since September of last year.
NMED then independently verified that the recent data was not available in RACER.

Reach (blog): Commission Paves Way for Substitution
March 26, 2010 | Alex Scott in Helsinki
I got a sense at a meeting yesterday at the European Chemical Agency's headquarters in Helsinki that the higher echelons of the European Commission-as represented by commission vice president Antonio Tajani, and environment commissioner Janez Potocnik-felt the commission had taken its collective eye off Reach. Both commission men yesterday made their first visit to the headquarters in Helsinki–the furthest northern outpost of any commission agency-looking to make amends. Shape of things to come: EU Commission V.P. Antonio Tajani lays out his plans for...

Reno, Nev.— Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder and 2010 NLCS MVP Cody Ross will start the season with the Reno Aces on a rehab assignment, the Arizona Diamondbacks announced today.
Ross won the 2010 NLCS MVP award as a member of the San Francisco Giants and helped the club go on to win the World Series over the Texas Rangers.
A ten-year major league veteran, Ross dislocated his hip on Aug. 11, 2013 while running to first base.
Ross signed a three-year contract with Arizona in December of 2012 and hit .278 with eight home runs and 38 RBI in 94 games last season before suffering the hip injury.
Ross is a career .264 hitter with 130 home runs and 490 RBI in 981 major league games. He played one game with the Aces last season, going 2-for-3 with a double.

Joy and Regis Philbin Stop by 'Late Show With David Letterman' (VIDEO)
Throw in Letterman dishing on the Super Bowl commercial, Regis accidentally calling him 'Jay,' and Joy saying that Regis is starting to lose it, and it's just good fun. Not only that, she's a knock-out!
Watch the video after the jump.
Letterman Thanks the Actors Who Played Oprah and Leno (VIDEO)
Leno dished about it on 'The Jay Leno Show' (weeknights, 10PM on NBC), and then Letterman did the same on 'Late Show with David Letterman' (weeknights, 11:35PM on CBS).
He took a moment to tell how it all came about, and also thank the actors who played Oprah and Leno. "They did a tremendous job."

TV Squad Ten: Most/Least Sexy Super Bowl Ads of All Time
And how do you that? That's easy. Just sprinkle in some sex! It's nature's negotiator.
Of course, it's not as simple as it sounds. These days, people are easier to offend than Catholic nuns and the FCC has made it nearly impossible to advertise products the way God intended (i.e. naked girls with abnormally large boobs writhing and moaning over the awesomeness of Flonase). So an even subtler art of using sex to get your money lies within this deeply layered process. Here are the best of the best and the worst of the worst.
Focus on the Family Tackles Super Bowl With Pre-Game Ad
Like the first ad, the second spot, which will air four times during CBS' pregame show, also features Heisman Trophy-winner Tim Tebow and his mother, Pam, according to USA Today. No word on the second commercial's content or cost, but it seems certain to add to the outrage among abortion-rights advocates, who have questioned the first ad's accuracy and fairness and have protested CBS' seeming double standard in cooperating with conservative organizations to get their advocacy ads on the air while snubbing liberal issue ads.
What to Watch: February 3
What's your favorite recent Super Bowl commercial? The E-Trade baby? The Doritos crunch spot? The Bud Light ad with the talking, flirting monkey? They're all a part of this special, hosted by Jim Nantz and Lara Spencer, that counts down viewers' favorite commercials from Super Bowl telecasts of the recent past. Viewers can go to the CBS.com Website and vote for their picks from amongst a list that also includes the Tide To Go pen talking stain ad, the football-playin' Budweiser horses, the Budweiser Rock Paper Scissors game and the clever CareerBuilder.com commercial with tips on when it's time to look for a new job.
CBS Cuts Another Ad Down to Size, Literally
CBS has rejected yet another ad for their Super Bowl broadcast. This time, it's for the upcoming hack 'n slash adventure video game 'Dante's Inferno'. Unlike other controversial ads for GoDaddy.com and ManCrunch.com, this time they only had a problem with the commercial's tagline, "Go to Hell." Instead the ad will air with the tagline "Hell Awaits," which is way more creepy and disturbing since it implies that "Hell" is waiting to come to me instead of vice versa.
Don't watch the following ad if you're disturbed by having to read the word "Hell."
Most Controversial Super Bowl Ads Ever
Welcome to the crazy world of Super Bowl ads, where big business and non-profits alike often push the boundaries in order to make a splash and get some buzz form the biggest television audience of the year.
Coca-Cola gives us a sneak peak at their Simpsons Super Bowl ad
Since I started writing for this site, I've had the pleasure of seeing episodes of shows like Dexter and Leverage before anyone else. I've had the pleasure of conversing with some of the industry's most interesting characters. But now I know I've truly made it: I got to watch a Super Bowl ad before the rest of the world. Who wants to touch me?
This year's Super Bowl will, of course, feature new commercials for Coca-Cola including a rather interesting one featuring that mecca of brand advertising, The Simpsons.
It actually takes quite an interesting turn from what you might expect. It's not all that silly. It's actually quite sad and even sullen, compared to ads featuring the show's characters in campaigns for Butterfinger and KFC. Watch it for during the game, even if you're like me and you actually watch the Super Bowl for the actual Super Bowl.
Most Memorable Super Bowl Ads
Over the past four decades, the Super Bowl has emerged not only as the biggest sporting event in the country but, more importantly to many people, one of the biggest cultural events. And a big part of the package is the array of innovative and memorable commercials that debut during the game; with so many eyes glued to the tube, advertisers have an unparalleled opportunity to seize instance name recognition, usually, it seems, by employing some combination of monkeys, talking animals and slapstick humor.
Super Bowl to feature more advocacy ads
CBS has eased the restrictions on selling spots to advocacy groups during the single most important television advertising event of the year and said it would consider "responsibly produced" ads for the Super Bowl broadcast on February 7.
The issue arose when an anti-abortion group wanted to air an ad funded by James Dobson's Focus on the Family advocacy group starring 2007 Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow. Honestly, who cares? Why all this controversy over a commercial? Does it involve singing dogs or the Budweiser lizards discussing the point at which life begins? Am I the only person in the universe who watches the Super Bowl... to watch the actual Super Bowl?
The Super Bowl Commercials: The Best - VIDEOS
(NOTE: The following post talks about my favorite commercials of this past Super Bowl. There are absolutely no spoilers in this post. That is, unless you didn't watch the Super Bowl, recorded it for future viewing, and have decided to ignore every single other media outlet, as well as friends and family so no one tells you who won. If that's the case, don't blame us for your extremely poor time management skills.)
Well, it's all over except for the pack-up, the clean-up and the over-analyzing of the analyzing of the game that was actually played in Tampa. Super Bowl XLIII is now in the history books and so are its commercials. This year featured some returning companies, some new ones, plenty of NBC promos, and a koala puppet being punched in the face. In other words, a bit of everything. Out of all of them, here are some of my favorites.
(NOTE 2: The embedded videos come courtesy of Hulu. If you cannot view these videos I have linked the commercial titles to another site that you should be able to view.)
The commercials of Super Bowl XLII: A summary
Super Bowl XLII is all done except for the cleanup and the hangovers. And, you are probably doing one of two things right now. Either you are joyously celebrating the win of the Wild Card New York Giants over the undefeated (until Sunday) New England Patriots, or your are cursing out that f@#&ing Tom Brady and coach Bill Belichick for screwing up a perfect season and, most likely, starting a new sports curse in New England.
Oh well, at least you have the commercials to take your mind off of it all if you were a Patriots fan. This year's crop was pretty diverse with a mix of serious and humorous ads. Plus, a little star power thrown in just for taste. Thanks to Jason Hughes, Jen Creer, JJ Hawkins, and yours truly, TV Squad has postings about every new commercial that aired, from the E-Trade baby to the guy who attached jumper cables to his nipples.

.stale was removed in 5.0.
You now have the option to implement auto-backup.
Add BackupInterval to main.cf to activate this feature. Without this entry, vcs will simply start with last saved main.cf.
Extract from 5.0 Release Notes:
Backup of VCS configuration files
VCS backs up all configuration files (<config>.cf) including main.cf and types.cf to <config>.cf.autobackup. The configuration is backed up only if the
BackupInterval is set and the configuration is writable.
When you save a configuration, VCS saves the running configuration to the actual configuration file (i.e. <config>.cf) and removes all autobackup files. This
does away with the VCS behavior of creating .stale files If you do not configure the BackupInterval attribute, VCS does not save the running configuration automatically.

The Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, today announced he has secured £11.6 million in funding from the Government to improve homeless hostels in the capital.
The vital money will be used to provide refurbished and new accommodation, including over 320 beds, for organisations across London that work to help people come off the streets.
St Mungos, West London YMCA, Islington & Shoreditch Housing Association and the London Borough of Camden all submitted successful bids for funding, allocated as part of the nationwide Homelessness Change Programme.
With an added focus on training and employment support, the aim of the programme is to achieve improvements in the way homelessness services look, feel and operate, establishing centres of excellence from which rough sleepers can make positive steps away from the homelessness cycle. Six projects - in the City, Tower Hamlets, Ealing, Southwark and two in Camden – are all set to boost their facilities as a result of the cash injection.
The announcement comes as the Mayor revealed that the No Second Night Out scheme, which he launched six months ago, has now helped 382 people to come off the capital's streets.
The project, which has been identified as a model of best practice by the Government, is now being rolled out across the UK to ensure that no one is forced to sleep rough for more than one night.
The Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, said: "Hostels play a crucial role in helping people rebuild their lives away from the streets and their success is central to helping us to end rough sleeping in London.
"We have made great strides in providing a rapid response to new rough sleepers with our No Second Night Out project, and the hostels that have received funding today will play a key role in helping those with longer-term needs.
"There are some fantastic organisations working to tackle homelessness in the capital and boosting the quality of the accommodation provided will give the people they help a far better chance to transform their futures."
Jenny Edwards CBE, Chief Executive of Homeless Link, the umbrella body for homelessness charities, said: "Hostels are a much needed lifeline for those at risk of sleeping rough. They provide decent, safe accommodation and support people to address their problems and become independent.
"With providers facing real pressures on budgets in the current climate, we welcome this extra funding, which will help to make sure that fewer homeless people return to the streets.
"We also need to prevent rough sleeping before it begins. To do this we call on all local authorities to adopt the No Second Night Out standard. The project is already showing the value of helping people the moment they arrive on the streets, before they fall into a lifestyle of rough sleeping."
Notes to editors
Funding for improvements to hostels under the Homelessness Change Programme will be administered by the Homes and Communities Agency.
The Mayor's London Delivery Board, chaired by the Mayor's Housing Advisor, Richard Blakeway, is leading on ending rough sleeping in London by the end of 2012. Its membership reflects determined commitment across central, regional and local government, the Metropolitan Police and the voluntary sector to end rough sleeping.
The following organisations have representatives on the London Delivery Board: City of London, City of Westminster, Department of Communities and Local Government, Crisis, Jobcentre Plus, Greater London Authority, Homeless Link, LB Brent, LB Camden, LB Hammersmith and Fulham, LB Kensington and Chelsea, LB Southwark, LB Tower Hamlets, LB Lambeth, London Development Agency, DWP, Mayor's Office, Metropolitan Police, NHS London, St Mungo's, Thames Reach, Broadway, United Kingdom Borders Agency, National Offender Management Service.
No Second Night Out means that anybody new to the street can get help so that they do not have to sleep out in London for more than one night. An assessment 'hub', reconnections service and extra outreach resources are being provided to ensure that those new to the street are provided with an alternative to sleeping rough. The initiative emphasises the importance, where possible, of people reconnecting with their home areas, providing they are not put at risk.

Unmarked Planes and Hidden Geographies is a sustained investigation of a fleet of unmarked aircraft that use the callsign "JANET" in civilian airspace. Operated by the Air Force, the Janet Fleet exists in order to transport workers to- and from- a network of secret military installations in the southwestern United States. Unmarked Planes and Hidden Geographies uses flight-tracking data provided by the Federal Aviation Administration to follow the movements of this fleet in near real-time, slowly building up a historical geography of the aircrafts movements over time.

text: Hi everyone kind of new here, I have been looking at getting a new set of binoculars for a few weeks. I kind of have it narrowed down to Swarovski slc neu f(if I can find some), vortex razor hd, or possibly leica ultravid. I have been looking pretty hard for a pair of slc neu's but have recently started looking at the razors a little bit. I own a razor spotting scope and have been pretty happy with it, used it quite a bit in MT and ND last year. I guess I'm just wondering how the razor's compare to the non hd swaro's, do the swaro's definitely perform better?

I've seen a programme on telly about research the Yanks are doing on making troops and their equipment invisible (or nearly so), such that the enemy can't spot them or get a radar lock to fire missiles. I reckon I can save them a bunch of money. Regular readers will probably be aware that I drive a decrepit old Fiat Panda – well I'm convinced it's now become invisible to other road users. Either that or it's gained a secret homing beacon which invites them to cut me up for no reason, or just pull out in front when I'm 50 yards away….
I feel like borrowing my nephews Land Rover 90 for a few days, and seeing if they still do the same. What it is wrong with drivers now? Just because I'm in a small, older car doesn't give me any less right to use Her Majesty's highway. Unlike the 10% or whatever of illegal vehicles around, it's taxed, MOT'd and insured, so I have MORE rights than some.
There's no point the authorities wasting money on "Think Bike" campaigns, if the tossers cocooned in their reinforced, airbag protected, electronically controlled "personal mobility devices" can't be bothered to look out the fucking window….
I'm going to get a set of these:

Map your house hunting future: new homes hotspots along the Hammersmith & City Tube line
In part seven of our series finding hot homes on London's Tube network, we take the Hammersmith & City line - the route that runs from Hammersmith to Barking, skirting the capital's prime core.
Launching in May 2014: new flats and houses at St Peter's Place, W6 (020 3667 5113), just moments from St Peter's Square, one of Hammersmith's most coveted addresses.
The Hammersmith & City line came into its own in 1990, when it first appeared on the Tube map. Before that it was part of London's oldest underground railway service, the Metropolitan, which dates back to 1863 and originally ran from Farringdon to Paddington.
Victorian business tycoons spotted the value of commuter trains serving the emerging suburbs of Shepherd's Bush and Hammersmith and extended the track west. For the same reason, the line was pushed east to Barking during the interwar period.
The east-west route skirts round rather than cuts through the heart of central London - Mayfair and the West End - partly due to the protests of powerful 19th-century landowners. Then, as now, most Londoners had no alternative but to search for more affordable homes beyond the capital's core area. Today, property values along the route are what Savills calls "attainable".
All stations west of Paddington are in Zone 2, while going east from Barking in Zone 4.
Exclusive research for Homes & Property by Savills
While Hammersmith is at the end of the line, the area is about as close-in as you get in west London, with a good range of flats and family houses, and a lively arts and entertainment scene that gives Theatreland a run for its money..
St Peter's Square is one of the area's most coveted addresses, with a collection of grand, stucco-fronted houses dating back to the 1820s alongside an imposing domed church and listed public gardens. Crest Nicholson has acquired a rare plot moments from the square to create Georgian-style flats and townhouses at St Peter's Place, launching at the end of this month. Call 020 3667 5113.
From £730,000: two-bedroom flats at Ashlar Court, refurbished Art Deco former nurses' accommodation near Ravenscourt Gardens, Hammersmith
The west side of Ravenscourt Park is a leafy conservation area with pockets of charming Regency and Victorian villas and terraces plus a pretty square that opens on to the park. Listed Ashlar Court, formerly nurses' accommodation, is being refurbished into 68 homes. A rooftop extension maintains the Art Deco building's fine symmetry, while an underground car park and a formal garden are being created behind the lodge-style concierge entrance. Prices start at £730,000 for two-bedroom flats. Call 0844 644 1582.
In King Street, Hammersmith's high street, a multistorey car park is being transformed into Sovereign Court, offering 418 homes plus offices, shops and restaurants just 160 yards from the Tube station. From £964,950. Call St George on 0800 008 6977.
From £964,950: two-bedroom apartments at Sovereign Court, Hammersmith
Planners are keen to revive Uxbridge and Goldhawk Roads, the two main drags sandwiching the Shepherd's Bush heartland, with new pavements, shop frontages and cultural attractions. The giant Westfield mall has had a big impact on Shepherd's Bush and led to small independent shops opening, such as Ginger Pig on Askew Road, the quality butchers with other branches in Marylebone and Borough.
Check out Brackenbury Village, which since the Nineties has moved from up-and-coming to fashionable, boasting just about affordable - if small - family houses, a well-regarded local primary school, a park, smart restaurants and gastropubs.
From the new station at Wood Lane, the line swings round to Paddington via Ladbroke Grove, where a rare new-build scheme of scale on the border with Notting Hill is under way. Prices from £565,000. Call 020 3053 0734.
- Seach for houses and flats for sale in Ladbroke Grove
From £1.65 million: for luxury apartments at Westbourne Gardens, Porchester Road, W2
Westbourne Park, north of Bayswater and up towards the motorway and Harrow Road, stands out as lower priced. One Westbourne Gardens is a scheme of nine apartments along from listed Porchester Hall. Prices from £1.65 million. Call Hamptons International on 020 7034 0404.
When Crossrail is up and running in 2018, the Hammersmith & City line will connect with major stations at Paddington, Farringdon and Liverpool Street. Property prices around these interchanges have jumped and are expected to rise more because the stations will be hubs for big business, too.
Aldgate East is less "City fringe" than it used to be, due to mega developments that are blurring the border with the Square Mile. One of these is Goodman's Fields (pictured left), where a gated seven-acre business estate has been opened up as a new "urban quarter" with a mix of homes, shops, restaurants, a public park and plaza. Prices from £672,500. Call Berkeley Homes on 020 3217 1000.
Penthouses at One Commercial Street, a 21-storey tower above Aldgate East station, go on sale later this month. Call DTZ on 020 3296 3837.
Budget buyers are advised to head further east, past Bow, to what might be called the "outer East End". History casts a long shadow. Over a quarter of Newham's houses were destroyed in the Blitz but the area is rising again on the back of Olympic Park regeneration and is a legacy benefits winner. Most parts seem affordable to anyone from west London, but are not as bargain-basement as they were.

For The Mahatma
This amazed biographer is of little help in redeeming
Gandhi---or Gandhism
By Swapan Dasgupta
There are basically two grounds for writing yet
another biography of a historical figure as well known and over-researched
as Mahatma Gandhi. Either the contemporary context has undergone a profound
change to warrant a reinterpretation or there is a body of new research
that alters our understanding of the man and his deeds.
By Stanley Wolpert
New York
Price: $27.50
Pages: 308
Stanley Wolpert's biography is not the work of
a professional historian. Based primarily on his close reading of the
90 volumes of Gandhi's Collected Works and the eight-volume biography
by D.G. Tendulkar, it is essentially a sympathetic assessment, a study
of Gandhi the saint that only tangentially-and with some glaring factual
inaccuracies (like describing the Jallianwala Bagh meeting in Amritsar
as a gathering of peasants "celebrating their spring harvest")
and sweeping over-generalisations-takes into account the environment he
operated in. That's not surprising because Wolpert approached the project
less as a scholar and more as a polemicist. His study was prompted by
his grave disquiet at the May 1998 Pokhran blasts, particularly his "amazement"
that "hardly any Indian voices were raised against so complete a
departure from everything Mahatma Gandhi believed in and had tried to
teach throughout his mature life". An Indophile angst at the disappearance
of a mythical "eternal India" is articulated through a celebration
of Gandhi's piety.
That the Mahatma has been reduced to a mere shibboleth
in India is undeniable. Perhaps it was so even before the crowds celebrated
the "big bomb" in May 1998. The question an analyst has to answer
is: why? It could be that a people steeped in Gandhian values, including
ahimsa, asceticism, vegetarianism and a disdain for westernised modernity,
suddenly rediscovered itself in a militant Hindu garb. Alternatively,
it is entirely possible that Gandhi's leadership was always an expedient
arrangement. While Gandhi's enormous political skills and his mass appeal
were put to full use in the battle against the Raj, the movement was carefully
detached from his idiosyncratic personal philosophy.
Unfortunately, Wolpert shies away from frontally
addressing this mismatch. To him, Gandhi was essentially a pious man in
a Christian mould, who was as preoccupied with khadi, abstinence and naturopathy
as he was with leading the Congress. Therefore, while the rest of the
Congress was in a tizzy trying to evolve alternatives to the Muslim League's
Pakistan demand in early 1947, Gandhi's mind was equally focused on his
own bizarre experiments to control his sexual urges. He shocked his devotees
and almost caused a scandal by sleeping naked with his grand-niece Manu.
Earlier, writes Wolpert, Gandhi "experienced
an intensely personal passion for a young, golden-haired, blue-eyed Danish
beauty, Esther Faeing". He wrote her persistent "love letters"-"But
give me the privilege of calling you my child. 'Rock of ages cleft for
me; let me hide myself in Thee.' With deep love." - that lesser mortals
would certainly have regarded as plain suggestive. Gandhi could get away
because he combined the roles of politician and saintly eccentric.
Little wonder, the other stalwarts of the nationalist
movement were schizoid in their scepticism of Gandhism and fanatical faith
in Gandhi. To Wolpert, this meant a departure from the true path shown
by a legatee of Christ. To others, Gandhism was the extra baggage India
had to tolerate to humour a wily leader whose "curious compound of
mysticism and astuteness"-as the South African General Smuts accurately
described it-knocked the political and ethical foundations of the Empire.
Wolpert is "amazed" by India's abandonment of Gandhism. He never
stops to ask whether or not it was accepted in the first place.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Some of you will appreciate this column about the five secrets of investor happiness; many of you won't. You'll say it's elementary, or unrealistic, or hackneyed — or worse.
Say whatever you want. Read it or don't. Save it or trash it.
I don't care.
Welcome, freshman dividend class of 2012
With investor demand for yield running high, new dividends for these shares should boost their appeal. Jack Hough joins Markets Hub to discuss. Photo: Bloomberg.
And with those three words, you have the first secret of investor happiness.
"Happy investor" is not an oxymoron. Contented investors don't care what anyone else thinks, except perhaps as motivation to do the opposite. Have a sense of where you are and a plan to get to where you want to go, and don't let ego block the path.
"The pursuit of money is not going to take you to happiness," said James Altucher, a stock trader and financial commentator. His pugilistic Altucher Confidential blog — part gonzo, part Gandhi — deals with psychology, human nature, and the uses and abuses of money.
"You have to be happy first," Altucher added, "or at least know what will make you happy and have a good grounding in yourself before you can go out there and invest successfully."
Being up front about your needs and wants leads to greater contentment. Too often we get into a people-pleasing role, worrying about another person's opinion of us or being afraid that we'll offend them — even if we're paying for their advice or services. That may work as a primal survival tactic, but it's not so great for an enriched, fulfilled modern life, let alone a rich investment portfolio.
Said Altucher: "The fewer barriers you put between yourself and happiness, the more likely you will be a successful investor."
Secret #1: Don't worry about what others think
It's relatively easy to ignore the barrage of bright faces on television telling you what to think, how to look and who to fear. Just unplug the set.
It's far more difficult to ignore what others think — about you. If you're considered a smart investor, you won't easily own up to mistakes. Being competitive with your rich brother-in-law may propel you to risks you shouldn't take. Going against the herd is tough to stomach if your out-of-favor stocks stay that way for a long time.
We all want to be listened to and respected, to get positive feedback and warm, fuzzy strokes. Such external gratification feels great — but it's addictive; you're left wanting more and more.
Focus on internal gratification — you control the volume of your inner voice. Let go of your ego, or at least dial it down.
Said Altucher: "If I'm convinced I'm right about a trade, that's ego. If I think the market's insane and the stock should go up, that's ego. You're insane if you think you can change the tide of the ocean."
He added: "I have a lot less ego in my investing. I'm not trying to prove anything to anybody. I'm disappointed every day as an investor, but by following my own rules, nothing affects me all that much."

Parking and Roadways
View a set of progression photos from the ring road construction.
View a set of progression photos from the parking lots reconstruction.
July 11, 2012
This summer's site work is progressing very well. The north parking lot is on schedule, and you have probably noticed significant progress in the courtyard area just west of the Student Center. Starting on July 23, we will begin some asphalt repair work in selected places on campus as indicated by the yellow shading in the map. These areas will be closed to all traffic from July 23-27. Please make alternate parking arrangements during this time.
Of course, asphalt work like this is subject to the weather, so these dates are subject to change if we happen to get our first drop of rain in months!
April 3, 2012
Summer 2012, specific dates not yet defined – The staff parking lot will be out of service intermittently as asphalt resurfacing work is completed. Since the north parking lot will be under construction, you will access the staff parking lot by taking the northern leg of the ring road and then turn left on the roadway near the former site of the old baseball field.
May 21 – Site work will begin on the north parking lot. The entire parking lot will be closed and pedestrian entrance to the northern entrance of the atrium (Door 51) and the eastern entrance of the B200 wing (Door 49) will be prohibited.
May 21 – Customers of the Early Childhood Center will park in the KEC parking lot. Special provisions will be made for Tri-County patients near that facility.
May 21 –Bus drop-off will be temporarily relocated to the western entrance of the Conference Center (Door 11) for the summer. This will be the home of Transvac and LOTS bus stops until the summer of 2013.
Mid-August – The reconstructed north parking lot will reopen.
Summer 2013 – Transvac and LOTS bus drop-off will be relocated to its permanent home north of the SC.
August 3, 2011
Preparations for Fall Semester
As mentioned in the July 13 update, a number of site improvements need to be finished before the start of classes. I'm pleased to report that the Malta Drive entry roads, expanded South Parking Lot, and Bus Parking Lot north of KEC will be complete on time. You may have noticed that final paving has already begun on campus!
As students arrive to campus for the new semester, their route to Kish's parking will be different. We are currently working on signs to help students find their way as they navigate the new roadways. These signs will be installed before the start of the semester.
July 13, 2011
New and Improved South Entry
The new South Entry is being widened to three lanes to accommodate additional traffic.
Expanded South Parking Lot
The south parking lot is being expanded and cars will access the South Lot from the ring road that runs to the south of this parking lot.
Partial Ring Road
As you enter campus through the South Entry, you will have to turn left onto the new ring road. This ring road will then turn west and run parallel along Route 38. The portion of the ring road that is needed to access the South Parking Lot will be complete by the start of the Fall semester.
New North Entry
The new North Entry will be located north of the KEC building and will be used to access the North Parking Lot. Like the South Entry, this entry will also be three lanes. The existing North Entry will be converted to a construction-only entrance.
Bus Parking
A new bus parking lot is being constructed north of the KEC building. This lot will be used by the school busses that transport students to KEC. This lot will also serve as a staging area for other busses (e.g. Transvac) that need to sit idle for a period of time.
West Parking Lot
This lot will be located southwest of Caukin. Sidewalks will be installed to connect this lot with the western edge of our main building, and landscaping will be planted in areas surrounding the softball field.
Ring Road
We expect to complete the entire ring road by the end of the year.
May 20th, 2011
With the temporary closure of the South Parking Lot, we are losing 18 handicapped parking spaces. Therefore, within the next week we will be relocating these 18 spaces for the summer. To accomplish this, the 30-minute parking spaces just north of the mailroom/receiving area will be converted to handicapped parking. Additionally, we will convert some of the spaces in the employee parking lot to handicapped parking. This will be a temporary change that will remain in effect until the South Parking Lot reopens later this summer.
May 12th, 2011
Horticulture Garage
This week we demolished the storage garage that was attached to the Horticulture "headhouse" on the far northern edge of our campus. This was necessary in order to fit the ring road to the north of this facility.
May 3rd, 2011
Entry Gates
As mentioned in the 4-11-11 Update, the entry gates will have to be dismantled. This work will happen in May.
April 25th, 2011
Rain, Rain, Go Away!
The first stage of construction includes a significant amount of earth work. We're grading the campus for better water retention and preparing the site for the ring road and west parking lot. The early weeks of spring were quite dry…until the heavy equipment showed up on campus. Since then, it has been VERY rainy, and this weather is not helping our construction schedule.
Site Work Schedule
If the weather cooperates, we have another three weeks to complete the campus's rough grade, followed by two weeks of site utilities work. Once that is complete, we have 2 weeks to do some lime stabilization work. By applying lime to the ground where the parking lots and roadways will be, this forms a near-concrete base, which makes for a more stable surface to eventually apply asphalt.
April 11th, 2011
Malta Road – North Entrances
Over the summer, a new campus entrance from Malta Road will be built north of the Kishwaukee Education Consortium building. When this is complete, this entrance will serve staff and students, and the current north entrance will be converted to a construction-only entrance. In the meantime, the current north entrance will have to serve regular traffic and construction traffic. Please take extra caution when using the north entrance during this time.
Malta Road – South Entrance and South Parking Lot
After Graduation, the south entrance will be closed. This summer there will be no access to the south parking lot so the south entrance road can be reconstructed and widened to 3 lanes to better accommodate peak traffic times. The south parking lot will also be expanded during this time. This work will be completed during the summer and the south entrance and parking lot will reopen before the start of the Fall semester.
Entry Gates
Once construction is complete, the current north entrance will be eliminated. Without a road that passes through them, the north entry gates become unnecessary and will actually confuse drivers approaching the campus. Also, as mentioned earlier, the south entrance needs to be widened to 3 lanes. The wider road will not fit between the south entry gates. The gates are too large and heavy to relocate in one piece, and it is cost prohibitive to partially dismantle, move, and then reassemble the entry gates in a new location. Therefore, we have no choice but to dismantle both entry gates along Malta Road and place them out of service.
April 6th, 2011
Route 38 Entrance
You may have noticed some work last week on what appears to be a new entrance from Route 38. This is a construction entrance only and will be removed at the conclusion of the project.

Kevin Williams set a Vikings franchise record in Sunday's 31-27 loss to the Cleveland Browns, playing in his 158th game at defensive tackle. That's one more game than Hall of Famer Alan Page played in for the Vikings from 1967-78. Williams joined the Vikings in 2003.
Here is Williams ...
On the record: "A lot of these things I've done I never even thought of. I just wanted to play good football and be a good player in this league and try to be consistent. That's gotten me where I'm at now."
On his level of play: "I think I'm still playing good ball. I wish I could get more action. A lot of times we get a run away from me and I can't get in any of the run game."
On what the Vikings need to do to avoid losing in the final moments: "We've just got to tighten up our coverage, tighten up our rush, and just play better. We've just got to play sound football. If you look a few years ago (in 2011 when the Vikings finished 3-13), we did the same thing and lost some close games. Last year was a different story. We won those close games. That's how we got to 10 wins. We've got to get that feeling going and win those close games and we'll be fine. It's the same group of guys. We can't let those close games get away like we did two years ago. We've got to win them like we did last year. That put us in good position."
