A father and son suspected of robbing a Roseville pawnshop at gunpoint last week were charged Monday after the men allegedly were spotted at a Georgia hotel wearing "lots of jewelry" and carrying cash.
Marvin Spencer, 51, and Marvin Lee Clinton Spencer, 24, face numerous charges related to the July 21 robbery, which took place at Pawn America at 1715 Rice St, according to criminal complaints filed against the men in Ramsey County District Court.
Both reportedly fled to Georgia after the robbery and remain on the lam.
"They are low-life scum, and we'll catch them," said Lt. Lorne Rosand, a spokesman for the Roseville police.
The father is charged with attempted second-degree murder, first-degree aggravated robbery, unlawful possession of a firearm and two counts of second-degree assault.
His son is charged with three counts of first-degree aggravated robbery.
The store's surveillance system captured video of the incident, and the men's images were circulated online.
They were identified after a guest staying at a hotel in Doraville, Ga., reportedly overheard one of them talking about robbing a jewelry store in Minnesota and called Pawn America to report it.
The caller said the father and son were wearing lots of jewelry.
Details provided in the criminal complaint allege the older man walked into the pawnshop holding a semi-automatic handgun and ordered two cashiers to put their hands up.
As they responded, he shot one clerk in the leg.
He also shot at two other store employees but missed, the complaint said.
During the robbery, the younger man allegedly smashed in a jewelry case and started loading about $200,000 in jewelry into a bag.
The men fled in a Chevrolet Cobalt, the same model found outside the Doraville hotel, the complaint said.
"They made no attempt to conceal their identity," Rosand said. "They just boldly entered the store shooting and committed a robbery as if they'd never get caught. The marvelous thing about criminals is that they can't keep their mouths shut, and now we've identified them."
Deputies in Dekalb County , Ga., went to the hotel and found the younger Spencer in a room.
Spencer Sr. reportedly had left after having an argument with his son, who was arrested on an unrelated charge but later released pending further investigation.
Rosand described his release as an oversight by the Dekalb sheriff's office.
Authorities suspect the two men may now be in the Chicago area.
"We're enlisting the help of the United States marshal," Rosand said. "These men will be apprehended."
The wounded cashier's injuries were not life-threatening and the pawnshop employee is now recovering at home, Rosand said.
The elder Spencer's criminal history includes convictions in Ramsey County for first-degree aggravated robbery, theft, third-degree burglary and violating an order for protection. He was released from prison in late April.
The younger Spencer was convicted of receiving stolen property in 2010.

MED Program Requirements
North Carolina residents receive preference and typically constitute 80-85% of participants. Applicants from other states are also welcome to apply.
The program consists of selected students admitted to the medical and dental schools at UNC and pre-medical or pre-dental applicants with one year remaining before desired application to professional school. All such participants are either rising seniors or postgraduates and must be deemed as disadvantaged in some way to be eligible. Refer to FAQ for clarification of disadvantaged status. Current applicants to professional school whose results are still pending by the program's deadline are invited to submit an application along with an explanation of the circumstances. The program typically enrolls at least 80 students per summer (60 pre-medical, 20 pre-dental).
Academic prerequisites are passing grades in Organic Chemistry (Part 1) and your other science and math courses to prove a solid background in the major biological and physical sciences that are preparatory for medical or dental school. Other factors include motivation, a personal story, and a cumulative science GPA of 2.75 or higher is strongly recommended for realistic consideration.
Completed files should include:
- Online application and essays;
- To be sent as one packet to the Office of Special Programs, c/o MED Program
- Official cumulative transcripts from all post-secondary institutions attended;
- At least two letters of evaluation from advisors or instructors familiar with your academic background and personal motivation (preferably at least one from a science program);
- Update resume or CV;
- (Optional, if claiming financial disadvantage status) A copy of your Student Aid Report (SAR Report) [generated from your Financial Aid Form (FAFSA)] or your most recent tax form and your parent's (if claimed as a dependent) for verification purposes
Note: MCAT / DAT scores are not required for admittance to the MED Program.
The Schools of Medicine and Dentistry cover all instructional costs (i.e. tuition, texts, housing, etc.) for all participants. A stipend is awarded to qualifying applicants.

Following his most recent injury, it's no secret the Houston Rockets are looking at their options in regards to Yao Ming. The big man is done of the season and has a very lucrative $17 million expiring contract. Oh, and on top of that, insurance on Yao's contract offers an $8 million discount on that $17 million.
So it's natural for the Rockets to shop him. And according to Yahoo! Sports, Houston is exploring a Yao trade on several fronts. Also mentioned is that some teams are exploring a trade for Yao to re-sign him on a short deal, or just to get a little cap relief on his big expiring deal.
Obviously Yao isn't going to be contributing this season as he's out for the year with a stress fracture in his left ankle. So anyone that deals for him is looking strictly for a little financial flexibility. Of course his new team could re-sign him to a short-term deal for low dollars, but that's just icing.
Not many are sure that Yao will still have an NBA career after returning from this latest injury. He definitely can, and probably will, but with the injuries piling up on his 7-6 body, he becomes a major liability. So any deal he gets will likely be short and not worth a ton.
The thing about dealing for Yao's expiring contract though is in order to match that $17 million, you've got to give up quite a bit. And the Rockets know how valuable that expiring contract is so they're going to want quite a bit. The Rockets will likely be looking for a contributor that can step in and play, as well as some assets. The Rockets aren't finished yet. They are playing better and are getting Aaron Brooks back, which is a huge boost.
Houston is going to be shopping Yao's contract to find something that helps them now. Daryl Morey isn't a general manager afraid to swing a big deal. He's not shy about taking a risk. So it's likely Yao is moved before the trade deadline. It's just who wants to give up some players in order to achieve a little financial freedom.

Solar rebates are rapidly becoming an endangered species, but there are still a handful of refuges out there for the lucky few who reside in those areas. Here is our update on who is offering what as of January, 2015.
Although there are lots of ways to approach this, we figured that the most entertaining would be to rank-order each utility in the Run on Sun service area from best to worst in terms of their rebate program (and we will toss in a handy summary chart at the end).
Beyond a doubt, the best run solar rebate program in our service area is provided by our hometown utility, Pasadena Water & Power. The folks at PWP have figured out how to provide generous rebates on a predictable schedule while keeping bureaucratic annoyances to a minimum. Boy could its neighbors learn a thing or two from PWP!
Here are their numbers as of today:
Residential: $0.85/Watt EPBB; 12.9¢/kWh PBI.
Commercial: $0.85/Watt EPBB; 12.9¢/kWh PBI.
Non-Profit: $1.60/Watt EPBB; 24.2¢/kWh PBI.
Keep in mind, those numbers have been in place for a long time (since 2012!) and we expect them to drop some time this year.
Anaheim is offering some big rebate numbers, but they offer a ridiculously small window of opportunity for snagging them. Specifically, the window is about to open and you need to submit a rebate application between today, January 15, 2015 and two weeks from today as the window closes on January 29! After that you are out-of-luck until the next window is set. For those who can jump on the opportunity, here are the numbers:
Residential: $1.25/Watt EPBB; n/a PBI.
Commercial: $1.10/Watt EPBB; 11.0¢/kWh PBI.
Non-Profit: n/a.
Which brings us to the problem children…
Azusa has a rebate program, maybe. But what it really has as of now is a waiting list. Good luck with that.
Burbank and Glendale feel like the same city so its not surprising that their local utilities seem to act in lock step. Both utilities arguably offer rebates, but unlike PWP - their more intelligent neighbor to the East - neither BWP nor GWP can figure out how to keep a rebate program open for more than a few weeks (days?) at a time. They say they are victims of their own success, but we see it as a sign of bad planning. (Oh, and don't get us started about GWP's alleged Feed-in Tariff program which after a year and a half is yet to have a single application submitted! Genius!)
As for now, all the unfortunate residents of these two communities can do is wait until the new fiscal year in July and hope that some funds will be allocated.
In SCE territory the party is officially over - there are no more rebate funds available, and despite the Governor's call for 50% of electricity to come from renewables by 2030, there are no moves a foot to refund the CSI program. This is unfortunate beyond the lack of funding - with the demise of the CSI rebates, so goes the CSI data since that was only gathered as part of the rebate process. As a result, we lose a major solar incentive along with a major source of market data for the largest solar market in the country! More genius! (Here's a thought - since SCE still requires us to go through the interconnection agreement process - via email - why not collect the data that way?)
LADWP offers a rebate, but they have the most excruciating process ever for getting it. (Think of that wealthy Uncle who could easily help you out, but is going to make you bow and scrape before he cuts loose with some ducats, and you get the picture.) Moreover, non-residential rebates are going away in favor of the Feed-in Tariff program, but for small commercial or non-profit customers, that option simply doesn't pencil out.
For those residential customers with the patience to outlast the bureaucrats, here's their rebate:
Residential: $0.40/Watt EPBB; n/a PBI.
Frankly, that's just not worth the trouble.
So here's the overall results for all of these utilities:
While rebates are going away, the 30% federal tax credit is still in place, and will continue through the end of 2016. Carpe diem!
Solar rebates are fleeting in many locations—now you see them, now you don't. Case in point, Burbank Water and Power (as is the case with its cousin in Glendale) is notorious for offering, and then taking away solar rebates. We monitor BWP's website for new developments, and we have now learned that they will be holding a lottery for possible rebate funds next July. No additional details were made available; presumably they will be posted sometime in June.
Given that development, we decided to update our overall rebate status. Here is how things stand generally in the Run on Sun service area as of this date:
|EPBB ($/Watt)
|PBI (¢/kWh)
|(Click to see website)
|Unavailable until June, 2014
|Unavailable until June, 2014
|Wait List
|Wait List
|Burbank (BWP)
|Lottery in July, 2014
|Lottery in July, 2014 (30 kW or less)

|Unavailable until 7/1/2014
|Unavailable until 7/1/2014
|Los Angeles (LADWP)
|Not used
|Pasadena (PWP)
|SoCal Edison (SCE)
Here are a couple of very important qualifications to what appears in that table:
This is a moving target; watch this space.
As expected, the Glendale City Council yesterday voted to approve a Feed-in Tariff program patterned after programs that have failed. Here's our final report, for now.
One clear tell that the FiT proposed by GWP was a non-issue: no other solar company bothered to comment on it before the City Council. As for the City Council itself, another tell - two of the five Councilmembers were participating via Skype and phone - but they both bailed after voting on the City's budget but before the FiT came up for a vote.
Which left only me.
For the second week in a row, I was the only speaker to address the FiT. I pointed out to the Council the failure of the programs in Anaheim and Riverside - the models for the GWP program - to yield a single solar installation in more than two years. I reminded them of what we were told by the woman in Anaheim - that there is a difference between designing a program to meet the letter of the law and designing a program that works. I acknowledged that they were going to pass the ordinance, because they had been told that they had no choice - they were stuck with buying a pig in a poke. I encouraged them to revisit the issue in three months. If GWP was correct, and their program was destined for greatness, we would certainly know by then - but if I was right, perhaps it would be proper to revisit this program and try to design one that would actually work.
That argument received some traction with the Council - and I have already set the reminder for three months from now to revisit this with the Council. (Ironically, if you are speaking about something that is not on the agenda, they give you 5 minutes to speak, but for actual business before the Council, they only give you two. So when I return in September I will actually be able to layout my case in some detail!)
Once again, Councilmember Ontero picked up on what I said and asked Staff whether they had, indeed, designed a program that could only meet the letter of the law but not actually accomplish anything. And again, GWP's Chief Assistant General Manager, Steve Lins responded but did not actually answer the question. Instead he brought up LADWP's Ratepayer Advocate as complaining that LADWP was overpaying (an old argument that was rejected twice - by the LADWP Board and by the LA City Council).
Beyond that, Mr. Lins insisted that my complaints were that "my project" didn't pencil out and that was why I was complaining. Of course Mr. Lins knows nothing about my motivations so his speculation was unjustified. For the record (since Council rules did not afford me an opportunity to respond), Run on Sun did not have a client that we were representing here - we were simply advocating for sound public policy in support of solar.
So the program is now adopted and we will wait and see how this plays out.
Glendale Water and Power has started holding public workshops on its proposed rate increase - though still remaining mum about their mandated Feed-in Tariff program. Here's an update.
As we reported before, GWP is poised to impose a rate increase over the next five years in excess of 24%. The first two of six scheduled public meetings to discuss the rate increase were held on Wednesday and Thursday and GWP posted their presentation materials from those meetings online. Here are some of the highlights from those materials:
Of course, in any systemwide rate increase like this, some customers will fare better than others. So who are the winners and losers? This chart is pretty definitive:
In each and every year of this five-year rate increase, residential customers are seeing higher rate increases than any other class of customer in Glendale! They aren't looking at a 24% rate increase, their rate increase is 26.4% or 5.28%/year. In contrast, small commercial customers who do not exceed the threshold for demand charges (i.e., peak demand less than 30 kW) are seeing the smallest increases. (GWP's spokesperson asserted that this result is mandated by Proposition 26.)
Unfortunately, there is nothing in the presentation about the reinstitution of GWP's solar rebate program, and the GWP website simply advises customers to "check back again after July 2013." Of course, it would be more useful if GWP published its plans for that program - along with the FiT - and allowed the public time to comment and possibly improve the program.
At present, that doesn't seem to be happening in Glendale.
So electric customers of GWP are going to see their rates increase substantially - albeit from a relatively low base at present - and the most effective tool that they could have to counter those increases, adding solar, remains in limbo.
"It's been a long, time coming…" and we are just now starting to get some details about the state-mandated Feed-in Tariff program for Glendale Water & Power (GWP). While there is more unknown than known, here's an update on what we have learned so far.
Will GWP's FiT Actually Support PV Like This?
As we have reported previously, GWP is under a state-law mandate to offer a solar Feed-in Tariff (FiT) program by July 1, 2013 - some 33 days from today. Keeping in mind that it took LADWP the better part of three years to design and approve its FiT does not fill one with confidence that GWP can go from having nothing in writing to distribute to the public to a successful program start in just 33 days. (Of course, the law only requires that a program be "offered" - it says nothing about whether that program is designed in a way that gives it any chance of being successful.)
Despite having been told that public workshops would be held during May and June, it is clear that at least the May dates have gone by the board. With the clock ticking, and nothing new on the GWP website about its FiT, we started combing the Glendale website for possible hints in the posted agendas for either the Water & Power Commission or the City Council - no luck. So we decided to call the City Clerk's office, because in any city, the City Clerk is the one person guaranteed to know what is going on.
We spoke with Michael Dunn who gave his title as Secretary to the City Clerk. He informed us that indeed the FiT is scheduled to be considered by the City Council for the first time on June 18, with the second reading (and presumed adoption) one week later on June 25. He also informed us that the Agenda, complete with downloadable materials, should be available to the public on June 13. (You can access the Agendas for the Glendale City Council here.) Of course, a first disclosure of a program as complicated as a FiT just 17 days before its state-mandated go-live date does not suggest that Glendale or GWP actually wants any input from the public. Rather, this is a schedule that suggests that any public comment is entirely pro forma and whatever is put forward by GWP is what the Council will adopt. (No doubt citing the state-mandated deadline as justification for taking the proposal "as-is." Classic.)
Unfortunately, Mr. Dunn knew nothing more about the FiT himself, but he offered to send me to someone at GWP who might be able to answer more of my questions. He transferred me to Victor Pacheco who gave his title as Senior Electric Service Planner. Mr. Pacheco told us that the program would be offered for projects between 30 kW and 1.4 MW capacity and that the program was limited to 4.5 MW total. He was unable to tell us anything more about the remaining details of the program, such as the base price for energy to be offered, or whether time of delivery factors would be applied, or whether there would be any carve-out from the 4.5 MW total for smaller sized systems (as there is in Los Angeles).
He was able to tell us that a FiT Manager was going to be selected (apparently from existing staff) but no such appointment was yet in place. Well, not like there's any urgency here - after all, you still have 30+ days to figure this out - what could possibly go wrong?
As for public meetings to discuss the FiT, he was unaware of any and the only public meetings alluded to on GWP's website concern their five-year, 24% proposed rate increase. While the FiT is apparently bundled into that rate ordinance, it just doesn't make sense to try and combine the two into the same public meeting.
As always, we will update this post as we learn more information.

RBS Sued by LBBW Over $71 Million in Mortgage Securities
Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc was sued in New York by Landesbank Baden-Wuerttemberg over $71 million in mortgage-backed securities.
Landesbank Baden-Wuerttemberg said the offering materials for the sale of the securities contained "misrepresentations and omissions" about the characteristics of the mortgages, according to the complaint filed in New York state court today.
The defendants, which include RBS Securities, obtained mortgage loans from the banks that issued them and bundled them into securities. Landesbank Baden-Wuerttemberg bought the securities, which have declined in value or were sold at a loss, according to the complaint.
"Each of the defendants knew, or at a minimum was negligent in not knowing, that its representations and omissions were false and/or misleading," Landesbank Baden-Wuerttemberg said in the complaint.
Landesbank Baden-Wuerttemberg, based in Stuttgart, seeks at least $71 million in damages.
Pholida Phengsomphone, a spokeswoman for Edinburgh-based Royal Bank of Scotland, declined to comment.
The case is Landesbank Baden-Wuerttemberg v. Royal Bank of Scotland, 650482-2012, Supreme Court of the State of New York (Manhattan).

Experts say the threat of killer storms has done little to stem Florida's staggering growth over the past years.
Experts say the population continues to increase by a thousand per day.
The state's population has almost quadrupled from about 5 million in 1960 to about 18 million today.
Florida emergency managers say more people means more problems.
If there is a major storm, it means more people to keep safe, more to evacuate, and more to shelter and more traffic on already overburdened roads. And it means there are always more to educate and persuade that hurricanes are a threat to be taken seriously.

I have a Trek 4500 that I would like to convert to a fixed gear bike. I don't know much about putting together or building bikes, but so far I have learned that I am pretty good at taking one apart................. I apologize if the questions are a little strange. I am new to rebuilding.
My plan:
Take everything off the frame and get a new fork instead of the judy Rockshox Judy TT suspension... this I need help with because I have no clue what fork I should get... I just know that I want something that is not a shock and is rigid and lighter.
Oh, and I am having a hell of a time getting the cranks and the gears off the bottom bracket. Am I just too weak or is there something that I'm missing?
Then I'm gonna get everything that I can repainted a solid color... can I paint the handlebars and the stems? I would think I couldn't because they aren't aluminum... what are they made of? Should I forgo the straight bars and get drop bars?
Then I want to convert the gears to a single fixed gear. I have no idea how, and the conversion information on the internet basically makes me think I am going to have a hell of a time because of my vertical dropouts... Any and all help would be appreciated.

We previously reported that periplakin (PPL) is downregulated in human esophageal cancer tissues compared to the adjacent non-cancer epithelium. Thus PPL could be a useful marker for detection of early esophageal cancer and evaluation of tumor progression, but largely remains unknown in this field. To investigate PPL involvement in carcinogenesis, tumor progression, cellular movement or attachment activity, siRNAs against PPL were transfected into pharyngeal squamous cancer cell lines and their effects on cellular behaviours were examined.
PPL knockdown appeared to decrease tumor cell growth together with G2/M phase accumulation in cells attached to a culture dish. However, the extent of cell growth suppression, evaluated by the number of cells attached to the culture dish, was too distinctive to be explained only by cell cycle delay. Importantly, PPL knockdown suppressed cellular movement and attachment to the culture dish accompanied by decreased pAktSer473 phosphorylation. Additionally, LY294002, a PI3K inhibitor that dephosphorylates pAktSer473, significantly suppressed D562 cell migration. Thus PPL potentially engages in cellular movement al least partly via the PI3K/Akt axis.
PPL knockdown is related to reduced cellular movement and attachment activity in association with PI3K/Akt axis suppression, rather than malignant progression in pharyngeal cancer cells.

Those memories weave all across the city's fervent fan base, through the media corps that covered Winnipeg's NHL days then and now and into the dressing room of the current incarnation of the Jets.
Selanne's 76-goal rookie season in 1992-93 still resonates deeply in Winnipeg, and his arrival with the Anaheim Ducks for a contest Saturday night at MTS Centre is perhaps the hottest ticket in town since the Jets' season-opener Oct. 9.
"There will be a lot of buzz in the building regarding Selanne," Jets coach Claude Noel said, "and there should be. He's had a great career, and we want him to continue having a great career after the game. For what he has done for a lot of things here, he has been a tremendous player in the League and still is."
Selanne's 132-point rookie season earned him the Calder Memorial Trophy and began a career that is now in its 19th NHL season. Remarkably enough, Selanne's 76 goals that season only tied him for the League lead, as Buffalo's Alexander Mogilny also posted 76 tallies.
Experience will help CunneyworthNHL.com
Cunneyworth has just begun his fourth decade in professional hockey, having spent 20 years as a player and the past 11 behind the bench -- his experiences should help him. READ MORE ›
"He was my favorite player," Fehr said, "and he is still my favorite player. I enjoy watching him with Anaheim. I was a huge Winnipeg Jets fan, and he was their best player. Ever since then, I've been a huge fan."
But Fehr admitted that he will guard against watching Selanne on Saturday night, though he plans to dig up some old Selanne hockey cards that he has in hopes of meeting Selanne after the game.
"I'll try not to be watching him tomorrow," Fehr said. "It's going to be great to see him in this building. I think the fans will enjoy seeing him. I put him right up there with playing someone like Mario Lemieux."
Newly acquired Jets forward Antti Miettinen skated alongside Selanne for Finland in the 2010 Winter Olympics and like Fehr grew up admiring Selanne.
However, Miettinen laughed that he soon realized that there were limits to far that emulation could go.
"I tried to copy him," Miettinen said, "but I found out early on that I [had to go] my own way."
Veteran Winnipeg Free Press hockey writer Tim Campbell is still on the NHL beat in the city, but he goes back far enough to have covered Selanne's rookie season with the Jets.
The Jets had made Selanne a first-round selection in the 1988 NHL Entry Draft and so Selanne arrived in Winnipeg facing considerable expectations from Jets fans. But nobody certainly expected what ensued in Selanne's rookie season.
"I don't think that anybody had in mind what unfolded," Campbell recalled.
Selanne went without a goal in his NHL debut but collected his first tally Oct. 8, 1992 against the San Jose Sharks. Against the Edmonton Oilers on Oct. 14, Selanne posted the first of his five hat tricks that season and was well on his way to 76 goals.
As Selanne's reputation around the NHL quickly grew, he had to adjust to the considerable attention that he received from fans and media. Visits from the Jets to all corners of the NHL guaranteed a heavy media turnout for Selanne.
But it was attention from opponents that also drove Selanne. A finesse team that season, unwanted physical attention from opponents forced coach John Paddock and general manager Mike Smith to make-over the club's roster.
The Jets held a 13-19-3 mark on Dec. 28 when Smith pulled the trigger on a trade with the New York Rangers that sent Ed Olczyk, who had scored 32 goals a season earlier, to Manhattan in exchange for enforcers Tie Domi and Kris King.
With Domi and King serving as bodyguards, Selanne and Winnipeg's other skill players had more room with which to work. The Jets would roll off an eight-game winning streak and go 27-18-4 the rest of the season to finish with a 40-37-7 mark. The Jets managed to grab the Smythe Division's final playoff spot before bowing out to the rival Vancouver Canucks in six games in the first round.
"He is one of those players who seemed to thrive not just on the attention of the fans," Campbell said, "but the attention of his opponents."
Selanne hit the 50-goal mark with a four-goal night on Feb. 28, 1993 against the Minnesota North Stars, and he drove mild-mannered coach Bob Gainey to distraction that night.
"That's the kind of thing that Selanne was capable of doing," Campbell said. "He didn't care how much attention [teams directed], he always found a way to skate past somebody or slip past somebody."
That four-goal night was the first of three games with hat tricks in a span of six games - one of them on March 2, 1993 helped him eclipse Mike Bossy's record for goals by a rookie in one season with his 54th tally.
Selanne and Jets defenseman Phil Housley developed a special chemistry, Campbell recalled. The smooth, playmaking blue liner went on to post a career-best 79 assists that season.
Even nearly 20 years later, Campbell still sees more than a few glimpses of 1992-93 vintage Selanne when he watches the Ducks.
"His knack for the net is still a remarkable talent," Campbell said.
Just 22 years old and in a new country for the first time, Selanne had to deal with the normal cultural and linguistic growing pains that any European player in North America for the first time must encounter.
But those challenges did not prevent Selanne from connecting with Jets fans.
Julie Evans, a fan of the original Jets and their successors who arrived this summer, recalled meeting Selanne during his rookie season at the old Winnipeg Arena, where fans were able to walk past the Winnipeg dressing room.
Just 10 years old at the time, Evans headed to the old building one night with her father. During Selanne's pre-game stretching routine, Evans recalls Selanne interrupting his ritual to sign an autograph for her. Then, despite Selanne's English still a work in progress, the young sniper chatted with Evans and her father for a few minutes.
"I still remember my dad asking what his favorite pre-game meal was and Teemu telling us that it was spaghetti," Evans said. "I still have the autograph tucked away in a special place.
"As a huge Winnipeg Jets fan even at 10 years old, that was a very special memory I will never forget."

Steve Jobs (original 2011; edition 2011)
by Walter Isaacson
Work details
Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson (2011)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Great book. The book shows Jobs in a complex and dynamic way and makes you feel like you spent time around him. Job's was definitely imperfect but he was very good at overseeing the development of incredibly great products.
I'm not sure I'd give Steve, as a person, 5 stars, but the book and story are fascinating. It's as much a lesson in what to do as in what not to do and full of interesting tales of building products, companies, Silicon Valley, philosophy, Apple, Pixar, and more.
I think Steve gets - and gives himself - a little too much credit. I struggle when I hear him compared to Da Vinci or Edison. So many of the ideas were small evolutions, better execution of existing concepts, developed by employees, or outright stolen from others.
That said, Jobs' uncomprising vision and intuitive sense for how to build products people want - even crave - cannot be denied. His fundamental view of making money to enable building great products, and not the other way around, is spot on.
Made me particular glad I'd never met this particular hero - he really comes across as the most extraordinarily difficult, contrary man. Felt sympathy for Jony Ive in particular.
However, as a CEO and as an arbiter of taste, he really has no equal. Apple's hit rate with him in charge (in his 2nd incarnation) was quite staggering.
A well written and entertaining biography of an interesting person. Steve is presenting as a very three dimensional person, who is great at some things and is lacking in others. I imagine that many people will come away with more respect for Jobs and some will be disappointed at his all too human failings. I certainly feel that I understand the man better for having read this book.
The story of Steve Job's life by his authorized biographer. Honest, comprehensive look at his life and the major impact he had on our society. His intensity was very painful to most of the people he came in contact with.
Steve Jobs dreamed of a legacy that awed people. He wanted to be in the pantheon of great product innovators, indeed surpassing Edwin Land and even his early icons William Hewitt and David Packard. But, Jobs created more than great products. Just as significant was his ability to create great companies with valuable brands. And, he created two of the best of his era: Apple and Pixar.
Isaacson's book is long, dull, often flat-footed, and humorless. It hammers on one nail, incessantly: that Steve Jobs was an awful man, but awful in the service of products people really liked (and eventually bought lots of) and so in the end his awfulness was probably OK. It is not Isaacson's fault that Jobs from early on had a "admixture of sensitivity and insensitivity, bristliness and detachment," as Isaacson describes it, or that Jobs abandoned friends, thought almost everyone else was a shithead, showed little interest in his daughters, and made life generally miserable for anyone who had to provide a good or service to him. But it is Isaacson's fault that the biography is so narrowly focused on one moral theme. The reader is left to judge, with plenty of evidence both ways—and a clear idea of where Isaacson's sympathies lie—whether Jobs deserves the Artist's Exemption.
As Walter Isaacson says in this incisive biography, Jobs behaved like a Nietzschean superman, using his will – transmitted through an unblinking stare – as a remote-control device that compelled others to do his bidding.
While Jobs was a vigorous competitor, he also came to view himself as an elder statesman with a responsibility for giving advice to Google's Page, Facebook Inc. CEO Mark Zuckerberg and other emerging technology executives, according to "Steve Jobs," an authorized biography by Walter Isaacson and published by CBS Corp. (CBS)'s Simon & Schuster. It goes on sale Oct. 24.
Mr. Isaacson treats "Steve Jobs" as the biography of record, which means that it is a strange book to read so soon after its subject's death. Some of it is an essential Silicon Valley chronicle, compiling stories well known to tech aficionados but interesting to a broad audience. Some of it is already quaint. Mr. Jobs's first job was at Atari, and it involved the game Pong. ("If you're under 30, ask your parents," Mr. Isaacson writes.) Some, like an account of the release of the iPad 2, is so recent that it is hard to appreciate yet, even if Mr. Isaacson says the device comes to life "like the face of a tickled baby."

No descriptions found.
Based on more than forty interviews with Jobs conducted over two years, as well as interviews with more than a hundred family members, friends, adversaries, competitors, and colleagues, the author has written a riveting story of the roller-coaster life and searingly intense personality of a creative entrepreneur whose passion for perfection and ferocious drive revolutionized six industries: personal computers, animated movies, music, phones, tablet computing, and digital publishing. At a time when America is seeking ways to sustain its innovative edge, and when societies around the world are trying to build digital-age economies, Jobs stands as the ultimate icon of inventiveness and applied imagination. He knew that the best way to create value in the twenty-first century was to connect creativity with technology. He built a company where leaps of the imagination were combined with remarkable feats of engineering. Although Jobs cooperated with this book, he asked for no control over what was written nor even the right to read it before it was published. He put nothing off-limits. He encouraged the people he knew to speak honestly. And Jobs speaks candidly, sometimes brutally so, about the people he worked with and competed against. His friends, foes, and colleagues provide an unvarnished view of the passions, perfectionism, obsessions, artistry, devilry, and compulsion for control that shaped his approach to business and the innovative products that resulted. Driven by demons, Jobs could drive those around him to fury and despair. But his personality and products were interrelated, just as Apple's hardware and software tended to be, as if part of an integrated system. His tale is instructive and cautionary, filled with lessons about innovation, character, leadership, and values. -- From publisher.… (more)

The implicit objective of most agency holiday videos is to feature the company's creativity or originality—however many efforts to seem "creative" tend to fall short. The results can feel vain, tone deaf, abitrary or insecure—or worst of all, unfunny.
In 2014, we choose to turn the idea inside out. We used a metafictional approach in order to show self awareness and comment on the nature of self promotion. This was the result.

When the makers of the independent microbudget zombie film Chrysalis finished post, they had to start dealing with a very difficult question—how are we going to distribute this thing? After they brought me onboard to help market the film, we had a lot of conversations about the state of the marketplace, and we ultimately decide to take a risk and test the waters of self-distribution.
The resulting integrated marketing campaign included creating a new brand identity, hero image, poster, website, social media support and promotional emails. I even got the opportunity to direct the film's title sequence, an experience I'm very proud of and grateful for.

WIP Concept Design
Now to the point. First off, I have no clue where this thread is supposed to be put, so Im making it here and hopefully a Mod can move it to where its actually supposed to go >.>
I am a scifi fan and, to some small degree, both engineer and artist having had many classes in both realms. This added to being brought up on TNG on as well as classics like Babylon5, SG1 on, and Firefly got me into the ship designing mood. Now I have tried this a few times to work out the bigger, stronger, badder most new people have; but that feeling never went entirely away. So I came up with a concept ship that goes something along the following. If this is the right place, I can add a pic or 3 later on.
What I need from this community is help.
I have come up with the major design, interior and exterior, but lack the modelling program/skills to make it look good. Failing that, an Okudagram or blueprints of some form would be nice... or at least a program to help me make them.
Basic specs: XF-76001 "Centurion"|post-VOY, pre-Temporal Era|Length: 150 meters|Height: 2 decks|Width: 50m|Crew complement: 10+1 Mk II EMH/ECH, min1, maxevac 40|Diplomatic grade 4, 4x Grade 4 "crew" quarters +2 Grade 7 "captains" quarters on lateral sides|Quantum-Slipstream Drive via 4 embedded nacelles on aft dorsal curve|Dimensional Bridge Reactor [or controversial Particle 010 reactor if SGA fans object]|multispatial shielding|port and starboard fore/dorsal VLS torpedo cells|port, starboard, and aft ports into ventral cargo bay. The main bridge and reactor are integrated in the fore of the upper deck buried between the quarters and beneath the hidden VLS cells for protection. The victorian-style double curving stairs mount up from the lower deck, connected at the top by a TNG-style tactical station behind which lies a circular table worstation around the DBR. Immediatly connected to and behind this is a rectangular table for the bridge officers which holographically projects the internal ship and local area. Behind this a, the floor is open to increase the cargo bay to 2-story height and can be accessed by a rear pair of turbolifts with emergency ladders recessed within their tubes. The lower deck in front of the cargo bay directly beneath the bridge has a short hallway between the port Weapons Locker, and starboard Medical Bay which leads to the 2-story open area with the Victorian stairs from before. This room would be at the foreward edge of the asteroid and allow for a Ten-Forward style observation/mess hall.
Notes: This was designed to be a stealth, infiltration craft. Its nose and fore 20-30m are hiddden within a natural asteroid containing sensor-masking elements. Plus the small size and ovoid or flattened cylinder shape [think SR-71 main hull] would serve to lessen detection. Externally the ship looks like its some sort of tug or cargo ship that crashed into the asteroid after a firefight; artificial burn marks on hull, intentionally buckled outer hull plates. The rest of the ship can be equipped with sensor masking devices, stealth armor, low emission passive scanners, interphasic? cloaking device.
If you want the trechnobabble for the stuffs, I have it...

Re: WIP Concept Design
I'd actually like to entertain any questions you guys have for me about this ship to better flesh it out more. [should I move this? how?]
Im also hoping to eventually come up with some sort of plot/storyline and "recruit" some willing posters to participate in a sort of pseudo-story. I tried something similar on memory-beta or -gamma and it went well.

Countdown To The 20th Running: The 1996 Brickyard 400
July 06, 2013 | By NASCAR Media
August 3, 1996
Pole Winner:
Jeff Gordon
Race Winner:
Dale Jarrett
The 1996 Brickyard 400 will forever be remembered for the "kiss" that started a lasting tradition.
Dale Jarrett, one of the best big-stage drivers in NASCAR history, had already won two Daytona 500s, including the 1996 edition. This was arguably the next brightest spotlight.
And he starred again, capping off the celebration by kissing the bricks at the start-finish line, a tradition that lives to this day.
The race was the site of new paving that had been added since the previous August, which raised the speed about five miles per hour.
As the race began, Jeff Gordon and Mark Martin led the field of 40 cars under the green flag to begin the third annual Brickyard 400. But Gordon's hopes for a second silver brick – the famous trophy awarded Brickyard 400 victors – ended when he cut a right-front tire and drilled the concrete. He limped the DuPont Chevrolet back to the pits, and his crew affected repairs, but Gordon was out of the running.
At the front of the pack now, Kyle Petty ran the point with his Coors Light Pontiac and Johnny Benson followed close behind. Petty then cut a tire and smacked the fourth-turn wall, bouncing off into the path of Sterling Marlin. Benson's yellow Pontiac then led, with his crew working through the pit stops flawlessly with two-tire stops.
Late in the race, Benson and his team made a slight mistake during a late pit stop under caution. Benson fell back to 13
during the restart. Ernie Irvan and Jarrett had worked their way to the front when the green flag fell. Terry Labonte had his Kellogg's Chevrolet at the point, with Ricky Rudd right behind, followed by Jarrett and Irvan. This format lasted 10 laps then Jarrett moved to the point with Irvan in hot pursuit. Irvan then passed Jarrett four laps later and the two Robert Yates Racing Fords began a brilliant duel that lasted the remainder of the race.
With six laps to go, the door finally opened when Irvan drove a little too hard into the corner. Jarrett saw his opportunity and yanked his Ford left and nailed the accelerator. Jarrett drew even with Irvan then regained control of the lead. Jarrett rolled to victory at the Brickyard 400, which was huge for Jarrett and the Yates team.
Jarrett's win marked the first time a Ford had gone to victory lane in the three years of the Brickyard 400 race.
