CFP: ART & MUSIC in DOCUMENTARY
The art of the documentary has been explored at some length in documentary studies. John Grierson famously defined the documentary as the "creative treatment of actuality." Less, however, has been written about the relationship between documentary and the arts, the impact of documentary on art and artists and vice-versa. The diversity of issues related to representation and interpretation, and the challenges involved in the representation of one medium by another, complicates the discursive spaces of production of art, music and documentary. From the early debates around fidelity and dynamism to the more contemporary ones around interactivity and performativity, the relationship between art, music and documentary is a rich terrain for exploration.
This special issue of Wide Screen attempts to address this dynamic relationship between the two and hopes to include in its scope documentaries related to music, performance, photography, painting, dance, architecture, folk and cultural forms, kitsch, experimental video, installation art and exhibition practices. We hope to include in this issue, documentaries on art and music in the international context and within frameworks of ideological, narrative and cultural production analyses.
We invite essays, articles, interviews, film and book reviews on this theme. They could include but are not limited to the following:
Documentaries on particular artists
Documentaries on particular artworks
Folk art and artists
Art online
Experimental Video
Feminist Video Art
Representational Challenges involved in depicting art and dance on film
Spatiality, Architecture, Documentary
Documentary and Photography
Musical history
Musical narratives
Reconstructions and live recordings of musical events
Documentary essays on musical genres
Portraits of musicians
The Use of Music in Documentary
Deadline for paper submission: Jan 5 2012.

For sale: 1960s architect-designed bungalow in Longniddry, East Lothian, Scotland
An interesting property that offers up a glimpse of a bygone era both in design and interior. This 1960s architect-designed bungalow in Longniddry, East Lothian, Scotland.
In terms of specifics, the bungalow offers up a hall, dining room, living room and study all with floor to ceiling windows to one aspect, along with a fitted kitchen, master bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and two further double bedrooms, bathroom and separate WC. The design also takes full advantage of the large secluded, south-facing gardens, with the outside space also featuring a 'sunny' patio area and an attached single garage.
It's apparently been recently rewired and had a new central heating system installed, but from the images, you can perhaps tell that more work needs doing, even if you want to keep the majority of that retro interior. Offers above £265,000 are invited, should you want this step back in time.

Who should be Eagles' starting QB? Snoop Lion says Vick
June 17, 2013, 2:45 pm
The Eagles' quarterback competition will resume in July, with Mike Vick and Nick Foles set to battle for the starting gig.
Vick has gone on record saying that he'd like Chip Kelly to name his starter before training camp, while DeSean Jackson has expressed a similar opinion.
Now, rapper Snoop Lion (you probably used to know him as Snoop Dogg) is the latest to let his voice be heard.
With Jackson by his side, Snoop told NFL.com, "Vick, Vick, Vick it better be Vick."
Jackson appeared as a guest with the acclaimed rapper during the Snoop Youth Football League's Football & Cheer Camp Family Fun Day in Los Angeles.

text: How not to be a product on Facebook Ideas Bank 02 August 12 by Laurent Haug This article was taken from the September 2012 issue of Wired magazine. Be the first to read Wired's articles in print before they're posted online, and get your hands on loads of additional content by subscribing online. If you have shares in Facebook, you probably believe that this platform will sooner or later command a dominant share of the surging online-advertising market, estimated by MagnaGlobal to be worth $103 billion (£65 billion) by 2015. It's a reasonable assumption, really. Advertising on the social web is an enticing prospect. A place where people tell you who they are, what they like, what they listen to, what they watch: in short, everything about everything. In 1960, if you had told Madison Avenue professionals that their spiritual heirs would have access to endless stores of detailed personal information on billions of people, they would have licked their chops. Or perhaps they would simply have wondered if the end of democracy was imminent. Indeed, social networks such as Facebook are treading a fine line, balancing users' privacy on one hand and the need to mine data on the other. To deliver ads that are relevant, advertisers need to know as much as possible about their audience. But they also need to show that they are using information in a reasonable and responsible way in order not to scare people off. An ad triggered by a recent iTunes download is fair game. Suggesting a diet because I sent an email with the words "chocolate" and "fat" is harder to accept.So far, social networks have operated in take-it-or-leave-it mode. You either accept their terms of service wholesale, or you walk away. There is nothing in between. Enter Privly, "an open-source community project for taking back control of personal information". The idea is simple and extremely powerful: tap browser extensions to develop a protocol that effectively masks private content. Here's how it works: install the Privly extension. The next time you want to submit data to your favourite social network, right click on your text and choose "post to Privly". A URL replaces what you wrote and only this URL goes through the pipes when you click submit. Grant "decoding power" to those with whom you want to share your content, and their Privly extension does the reverse engineering, replacing the URL with your original text. What Privly really does is shift the balance of power back to the individual end-user: first, it forces online services to operate by each person's personal privacy settings. By granting decoding power only to the people we choose, each of us creates a layer of privacy over which we have total control. Second, Privly reduces the role of online services to simple carriers that dispatch information blindly without knowing what it is.Plamen Kosseff, a Bulgarian developer, rewrote the Android OS so that instead of using real data the apps are fed with nothing -- or bogus logs and contacts. Even politicians are feeling the need to get involved. One promise of French president François Hollande was to create a digital "habeas corpus" that would "guarantee the rights and liberties of everyone in the light of new technologies".As online advertising seeks to refine its business model around petabytes of personal data, users are waking up to what it means to "be the product". If money can't be made, online services will fail or become subscription based. If privacy isn't respected, users will hide. This is a dialogue about the acceptable limits to reconcile diverging interests. Billions of Davids vs two Goliaths. Laurent Haug is an entrepreneur and strategist who founded the LIFT Conference in Geneva Edited by Ian Steadman Latest on wired.co.uk

Ducks, horses and chickens
What is the meaning of life? Why are we here? What is it all about? These are some questions that have plagued mankind since the beginning of time. This past week, I have been continuously wrestling with my own age-old question: Who would be victorious in a battle between 100 duck-sized horses and one horse-sized duck?

The chairman of the Coors brewing dynasty, Peter Coors, will reportedly be a Republican candidate for the U-S Senate this fall.
Governor Owens said he spoke with Coors this morning and that
Coors indicated he would run.
Owens says he thinks Coors would make an outstanding senator.
Coors is chairman of Coors Brewing Company and Adolph Coors Company. He did not immediately return a message left at his
offices in Golden.
His candidacy would throw a twist into an already wild race. Former Representative Bob Schaffer has been the only high-profile GOP candidate in the race to replace retiring Republican Senator Ben Nighthorse Campbell.
Owens said he had told Schaffer he would offer his support. Owens now says he'll talk to Schaffer to see if he's going to stay in the race.

Hearthstone Hands-On Preview: Blizzard Deals a New Hand
After you choose a class and a deck, Hearthstone uses Battle.net matchmaking to find a suitable opponent for you. You can also challenge your Battle.net friends in unranked matches. Once you're matched against an opponent, the game begins.
Gameplay is easily approachable. While I have played a number of collectible card games over the years, I played a match against a player who never had, and he had no problems grasping the concepts of the game. A Blizzard rep emphasized that we were only playing with the basic cards sets, and that gameplay could become more complex once the full range of cards is available. Still, the approachability that made World of Warcraft so successful is fully present in Hearthstone.
As you'd expect, Hearthstone is teeming with WoW references. In one match we saw, a card called "The Beast" was played, and once it was destroyed, the opponent got a gnome minion named Finkle Einhorn. Any vanilla WoW player will remember that reference from the days of Upper Blackrock Spire.
One of the things that Blizzard emphasized was that trading card games and collectible card games are very much something that they're into as a company. Most of the people who were at Blizzard early on spent time playing games like Magic the Gathering, and so when this idea popped up, they were excited to jump on it. Furthermore, bringing a game to the iPad, a platform they see growing explosively, was something Blizzard wanted to try.
Players shouldn't be quick to dismiss Hearthstone as just another Magic the Gathering clone. While they're both collectible card games with booster packs, there are a number of fundamental differences between Wizards' flagship entry and Hearthstone.
First, and most important for Magic players is this: your minions don't regenerate health between turns. While this sounds simple, the implications for gameplay are profound. In Magic, large creatures can be insurmountable in some situations. In Hearthstone, whittling large foes down over multiple turns is completely possible.
Second, there's no blocking phase. Instead, you'll be able to have minions in your deck with a 'Taunt' ability. If an opponent has a minion with Taunt in play, you have to eliminate that minion before you can attack anything else. Don't have one of these minions in play? Too bad for you, because your opponent can simply choose to bypass your minions and attack your hero directly.
Thirdly, there's no tapping of mana. Instead, you'll have the same number of mana as the round you're in. If it's the third round of the game, you have three mana, and so on. This makes the construction of decks very important, as having cards that are playable early in the game can be the difference between winning and losing.
These differences sound minor, but in play they give the game a very different feel. That's not to say that previous experience in Magic won't help you pick this game up, but it's certainly not a necessity.

If you suspect you are please take a test to find out for sure. I have three kids and so I too knew the signs but chose to postpone a dr visit and miscarried at 7 weeks b/c I still had my Mirena IUD in. I am devastated; please don't risk your baby's life!posted 11/13/2007 by uncjenn81
I didn't even recognize the symptoms at first I was in denial.I always had a period on the mirena that started between the 6th and the 10th.In November it came late on or around the 20th(i know it was right around thanksgiving.I did not have one for december or january and didn't worry about it until the sysmptoms couldn't be ignored any longer(all day sickness and major breast tenderness). took a home test-positive. went to the dr, urine test-positive. i was sent right away for vag us and blood test-ectopic ruled out and blood test-positive. Now I have to wait until march 5th for my first real drs appt and to figure out what to do. Everything I have been able to find states removal of IUD and probable miscarraige. I did read the the iud can expell itself but as badly as the insertion hurt i would think I would have felt it fall out! It was supposed to last for 5yrs, it lasted me 3&1/2. I am the first in my county so no dr around has had this situation before. Good luck!posted 02/21/2008 by a BabyCenter Member
Yes, it is possible. I am pg with this device. I have three kids and knew the signs, took a pg test and there you go. Go to the dr and get an ultrasound asap. If you don't have health insurance, contact a local pregnancy crisis center. Good Luck.posted 11/25/2007 by Bearfog
i just found out that i am about 11 weeks pregnant and i have had a periguard for over 2 years now. so yes it is very possible to get pregnant.posted 02/23/2009 by Ashes1988
I've had a paragard IUD for a year 1/2 i started feeling sick a couple of weeks ago took a prego test and to my shock positive ididnt want to believe it i made a doc appt bc i had some pain and bleding during intercourse a couple of times that stopped immedietly after the doc did a ultra sound and im 7 1/2 weeks and he says the baby is healthy.... he took the IUD out cause he said it would cause more harm to leave it in the IUD had slipped down to the opening of my cervix i didnt ever feel it come out.....he said to take it easy n no sex till 12 weeks @ least i just hope that my baby carries to term and is healthy i didnt want another so soon cause im only 19 and my baby just turned too but once u see a live in you its like seeing is believing and you only want the best for your child live or unborn keep me in ur prayers thanksposted 03/04/2010 by total_sweethart_2003
It is very possible. My sister just found out that she is 7 weeks pregnant. She had an IUD in also. She had it removed as soon as she found out. Take a test and see a doc if you think you might be.posted 08/05/2009 by Richelle8203
I am going through the very same situation. My husband and I have a 3yr old and a 15 month old. I had the Mariena IUD for something like 13months now and I tested positive on a home pregnacy test. I am worried about what may happen to the baby since I still have the IUD in my body. I am worried that if I have it removed, it may cause me to miscarry or if I leave it in until my child is born then he/she may be drastically effected by it. I am so worried and do not know what to do. Despite that fact that we weren't planning on another child for at least five years, I just want what is best for my baby's health.posted 10/09/2010 by Miggy_vicky0426
It is absolutely possible. I have a beautiful 7 month old to prove it. I originally wanted a tubal but several doctors refused to do it because I was either too overweight or because I only had one child. So, not wanting any more hormones, I opted for an IUD which was also strongly advised against for unknown reasons. I had it for 3 years. The IUD did not fall out or slip out of place. My little girl just manged to find a spot in my uterus that wasn't affected. I was almost 8 weeks before I figured it out. They removed the IUD immediately and told me there was a very high risk of miscarriage because of removing it. However they said that the risks of leaving it in were far worse. They sent me immediately for an ultrasound to see if the baby was "viable". Indeed she was fine and about 7 months later I gave birth to a perfect little girl. I also got a tubal but because of this I will never be so confident that "I'm just feeling under the weather".posted 08/10/2009 by kuzmal
I lost a baby at 5weeks and my doctor put a Mirena in me and my bofriend and I fooled around and I have not had a period since August 22, 2009 and I am very nautiated, and my sense of smell has increased, along with other symptoms according to the pregnacy calculator I would be * weeks is this possible I have had 7 misscarriages and only one live birth back in 2004posted 10/17/2009 by tlioms
im glad i found this because i have 5 kids and have been on the marena for almost two years. im scared that im pregnant again cuz ive had cramping and cravings and some weight gain which i thought was normal like with the depo shot but now my fiance says something is poking him when we have intercourse and the doc says its probably just the strings. could this be true after almost 2 yrs of not feeling anything? i took an at home test but it was negative. can the test come out negative still if the marena is still present but not in place right? i hope someone can help. thanks anxious mom waiting for an answerposted 04/24/2009 by momsantos

I was arriving to the house after playing a quick game of golf, and I spot a large SUV pulling in the driveway. As she pulls up to me it had to be one the cutest RoundAndBrown we have the delight to have. I told her to park and come inside while Voodoo was getting ready. This chick came to see Voodoo and she came ready. Stocking,stilletos, the whole nine. Not to mention the fat juicy booty she was packing, and those thick legs. She was on point. So, she comes inside and im excited with anticipation to see this chick naked. So, I have her get on the couch and get on fours and wobble that ass. Then I have her show me cleavage and then she pulls out the loveliest breast I have seen in a long time. Shaking them from side to side. Out of nowhere Voodoo appears and its a wrap. He takes over from there classic RK style. EnJoY.

Hollingworth Preschool
We purposely select topics that speak to the interests of our students, and allow for a wide focus enabling us to endeavor into deep inquiry through a multitude of lenses. The same study topic explored by two classes may share similar foundations but will be explored through a variety of means. Therefore, no two studies are alike; our work is continually evolving to challenge our students' curiosity, and to provide children with the structure to encourage independence. All studies begin with foundational explorations to engage the children and to create a shared base of content specific terminology and information from which to begin our unit of study. As the teachers conceptually plan the unit, emphasis is placed on inquiry, and positioning our students as inquirers within the curriculum.
Intentionality is essential to our work in the classroom. Throughout our conceptual planning, to our daily conversations with our children, we are continually reflecting on our greater purpose:emphasizing metacognitive thought. This intentional design of our curriculum is shared with our children, as we model brainstorming, planning and implementing a plan as part of our daily routines.
An essential aspect of our child-responsive curricular approach is placing deep value on the children as creators and contributors to the fabric of our studies. Through acknowledging, encouraging and scaffolding students' spontaneous connections between their lives, the world and other texts, the paths of our studies seek to foster students' fruitful explorations into inquiry based learning. Inspired by John Dewey's notions of the importance of experiences, we respect each child's ability to effectively explore and define the world through experience. We do this by fostering our children's sense of wonder and active curiosity through engagement in aesthetics. As a community of learners, we value different points of view and divergent thinking and work towards a tolerance for ambiguity and enthusiasm for discovery. Our studies always end with wonderful unanswered questions, as we recognize that studies and educational pursuits are life-long endeavors.

[UPDATE] SAMLA 2011- Cracking Up the Well Wrought Urn: Humor and the Ethics of American Poetry (5/15/11 abstracts)
full name / name of organization:
Walt Hunter and Cara Lewis/American Humor Studies Association
contact email:
email@example.com and firstname.lastname@example.com
"How funny you are today New York!" writes Frank O'Hara in an exemplary moment of what John Ashbery might call "probably thinking not to grow up." Although the last ten years have seen a flourishing of claims about what poetry teaches us, recent work by Stephen Burt, Rita Felski, and others suggests that we should pay closer attention to how modern and contemporary poets make us laugh. We invite proposals that consider how American poets in the 20th century have posed as comedians, using humor to test the capacities of received form and to engage, rather than avoid, serious issues, including globalization, gender and sexuality, memory and trauma, race, and the environment. Please send an abstract of 250 words as a word document by May 15, 2011 to Walt Hunter (University of Virginia) and Cara Lewis (University of Virginia) via email at email@example.com and firstname.lastname@example.com.

My daughter loves being creative. She loves making crafts, following recipes, and playing dress up. She makes up games every day and is so imaginative. The Glee Gum Kit is such a perfect gift for her because not only is she creative but she loves gum too.
About Glee Gum
Glee Gum is all natural chewing gum made with sustainably harvested rain forest chicle. It comes in 8 great flavors: cinnamon, peppermint, tangerine, bubblegum, spearmint, triple berry, sugar-free lemon-lime and sugar-free refresh-mint. Glee Gum is the #1 healthy alternative to synthetic chewing gum and bubble gum! No artificial colors, flavors, preservatives, or sweeteners (no aspartame). Chew with Glee, naturally!
Connect With Glee Gum:
About the Glee Gum Kit
Make your own chewing gum with chicle, the sap of the Sapodilla tree that grows in the rainforests of Central America. Everything you need is included in this kit and it's easy! You can make your own gum on the stove or with a microwave. Great for class room activities, scout troops, birthday parties, home school, or after school groups. Adult supervision is recommended. Makes a great gift for kids (ages 8 & up)!
My Review of the Glee Gum Kit
We had an older friend visiting the day we made our own Glee Gum with the Glee Gum Chewing Gum Kit. Her and my daughter had a great time making the gum.
Here is what I liked:
- The powdered sugar was easy to mix with the chicle base. It was time consuming but not difficult. My daugther loves things like this and she licked her hands often.
- The chicle, sugar, and flavor base is all natural. I didn't have to worry about what my daugther was licking, and chewing. I appreciate products like this.
- The flavor base included – cherry and bubble gum – tasted great.
Here is what I didn't like:
- Melting the chicle. The included pan melted in the microwave and made a huge mess. It was difficult to remove from my microwave and counter.
- The flavor base did not last more than 5 minutes and the flavor was gone.
All in all, it was a fun craft time. The gum might not have been the best, but the making of it was a lot of fun for both an older girl and my daughter. We all chewed the gum and when it lost it's flavor we spit it out and chewed a new piece. The price is right on these candy making kits too. I do recommend this gum. Just don't use the microwave method. Melt the chicle on the stove.

Nutrition has a big impact on health, including major diseases such as heart disease, osteoporosis, and cancer. Our work is designed to help people keep track of the nutrional content of foods they have eaten. Our work uses shopping receipts to generate suggestions about healthier food items that could help to supplement missing nutrients. Our application, based on shopping receipt data, provides access to ambiguous suggestions for more nutritious purchases.
Our goal is to contribute a better understanding of how a sensor-based application can be integrated in everyday life. To do this, we chose an approach that can easily be replicated for many users, deployed, and tested for months at a time. We are currently in the process of conducting a diary study that can provide data on which we can train our prediction algorithms. We conducted a formative user study that suggested that receipts may provide enough information to extend our work by also estimating what people are actually eating, as opposed to simply what they are purchasing. We are also interviewing and observing people's shopping and food managing habits to further inform the system design.

Fight between 2 Mo. girls posted on Facebook
Friday, July 13, 2012
POPLAR BLUFF, Mo. (AP) — Authorities in southeast Missouri's Butler County say two teenage girls whose fight was captured on a video that went viral are expected to face charges, and so are two men, including the father of one of the girls.
KFVS-TV (http://bit.ly/MpdDRT ) reports that the girls, ages 18 and 19, fought in the parking lot near a flea market last weekend, apparently over a boy. The fight was posted on Facebook.
Authorities say that in the video you can hear a man who is allegedly the father of one of the girls cheering her on.
Earlier this week in Caruthersville, also in southeast Missouri, two teens were charged as juveniles, accused of beating up a mentally disabled man and posting the video on Facebook.

Choke, Rock / Metal
Now then folks - y'all OK?
Not sure if this is finished or not. I'll probably come back to it in a week or so and decide it's all a bunch of shite. For now though, here's my latest track. Make of it what you will. Would appreciate some feedback.
Fawning admiration always gratefully received, although frankly I'd rather have your honest opinion.
If you want a C4C (who doesn't?) drop me a link in your reply and I'll get on it.
The vocals are pretty good mixed, nice and clear and the delay effects are kinda cool. I like the vibe on the vocals, fits the music well but i think you should try to sing it more power, sounds a bit weak for this type of music. The guitar tone is good but i would use less reverb and maybe boost some higher freqs to give more clarity and nearness if that makes sense. The drums are kinda weak imo, need more punch and a lot more presence in kick and the snare would probably do well if you raised the dB a bit, sounds like u got a good snare there :)
Cool song but the vocals could be improved in some parts and the mixing needs improvement.
i agree with the comments by the person above the vocal mixing and effects are really nice. i also liked the little guitar and vocal bits panning quickly at different parts of the song. i feel like the drums could be more upfront in the mix though, and the guitars seem sort of washed out, but i think a little added treble may help that. songwriting wise i thought it was a strong track the groove in the first part is great it reminds me a bit of black sabbath or led zeppelin, and i love the vocal melody at the "such a mother****er" part
Good intro sound effects. I could picture Johnny Rotten/Lydon singing this for some reason. The vocals are good overall. I think the guitars sound good, good riffs. Though there is a slight muddiness to the mix when a lot is playing at once, perhaps too many effects or reverb on everything. For the first ~55 seconds, the audio quality is very good. The recording/song is quite good overall. Playing is tight. Please review my music at this link:
I've had another stab at mixing this: I'd be grateful if some of you lovely chaps & chapessess would give it another listen and let me know what you think. Hopefully I've sorted some of the guitar- & drum-related problems out.
Will happily C4C.

You know that "inner child" we hear so much about — the one that's supposedly deep inside of all of us?
Well, I live with it. As a matter of fact, I call him "Austin."
In the five years I've been a parent, I've realized that the notion of the inner child is more than just a neat psychological construct. It's very nearly a literal thing. As we grow up, we don't change so much as drape layer after complicated layer of adult emotion on top of that inner child. The child doesn't vanish; he just gets obscured and filtered.
You don't get an evolved, new mature being. You get Austin with fifteen blankets over his head.

|EU and AVSI Team-up with Crecemos to Improve Education in Oaxaca, Mexico
For some time now, the state of Oaxaca, Mexico has been struggling to improve its educational system. Thanks to a project co-funded by the European Union and the hard work of Crecemos, AVSI has continued to implement initiatives that are helping to achieve that goal.
Alfonso is the youngest of 5. His mother doesn't have the luxury of taking a break and spends almost the entire day working in order to support her family. She is hardly ever at home and her children have had to learn to fend for themselves. Alfonso's brothers and sisters look after him. Like most Mexican youth he loves soccer and, when he kicks the ball around with his friends, a smile appears on his face that seems big enough to erase all his difficulties and worries. However, once he leaves the field it's clear that his anxieties remain. Alfonso struggles when he is asked to adapt to structured environments. It isn't easy for him to focus on his school work and he has a difficult time socializing. He finds it hard to participate in groups and he can't seem to follow the rules.
Thanks to a project co-funded by the European Union, AVSI has been able to expand and improve a number of its initiatives supporting students in Oaxaca, Mexico. Through the education and nutrition centers operated by its partner organization Crecemos, AVSI has steadily reduced the negative effects of the poor educational system in the area. Programs offered at the centers have helped students increase their attention spans and improve their grades through tutoring and target interventions addressing malnutrition. The core activities of its current project with the EU are geared toward increasing the involvement of educators, teachers and parents in helping to improve and better define the current education policies in Oaxaca. Parents are asked to participate in the education and nutrition of their children at the centers, often working in the kitchen to prepare the food themselves or helping out with other activities.
One of the most crucial aspects of the project is its focus on teaching methods. Parents and teachers at the education centers work together in the development of the educational tools and topics, paying special attention to the social inclusion of the children and starting from the needs of the mothers, children and families within the community. Innovative teaching methods used at the centers put the person at the centre of every educational process and attempt to consider each student in their entirety.
A few months ago, Alfonso joined one of the education centers managed by AVSI and Crecemos in Oaxaca. From that moment on, his grades improved, he began to participate more actively in class and he has started to play more peacefully with his classmates. Alfonso is not alone. A number of children at the centers, like Dulce, Lisander, and Carlos, have improved their school performance and expanded their horizons thanks to AVSI's support. And Alfonso's mother? She has been able to take a more active role in her children's education and general welfare thanks to the programs she participates in with her children at the centers as well.
Words from the executive director of Crecemos, Socorro del Rio:
"Our ultimate goal is to help our children attend university and graduate with a horizon and set of expectations that are far broader than those they would otherwise be accustomed to having for their own lives."

|Penn State VP Gary Schultz and AD Tim Curley are both charged with perjury. (Getty Images)
So now the NCAA is officially engaged in the Jerry Sandusky scandal. More than seven months after the sickening news broke, the central figure himself is in jail. There are civil suits still to be tried. And Penn State seems willing and ready to pay, lots.
But it's only now, today, that the NCAA becomes a central figure in the proceedings. In fact, the association is suddenly up to its Oxford-shirted armpits in the mess. The NCAA didn't have to get involved. Many were more than surprised when president Mark Emmert sent a sternly worded letter to Penn State's acting president on Nov. 17, 2011.
The letter seemed incredibly self-aggrandizing. The head of the country's most powerful amateur athletic body injected himself and his association into the story. But he did and now this rocket ride to hell has a whole new path, and the NCAA is carving it.
|More on Penn State scandal
|Related links
Penn State must pay. Take your pick: TV ban, postseason ban, shutting down the program. I don't know if I'd go so far on that last one, but I have turned 180 degrees since November. That's when I wrote that Emmert had overreached when he suggested Penn State violated NCAA bylaws.
But based on the damning emails between Penn State administrators, released by CNN, Emmert now has his evidence: Former Penn State president Graham Spanier, AD Tim Curley and then-vice president Gary Schultz seem to have had direct knowledge of Sandusky's crimes.
Penn State must pay if for no other reason than this, the same key point Emmert has raised regarding misconduct since he took office 2½ years ago: When will risk outweigh reward? You may argue that a criminal and civil matter have nothing to do with the NCAA. You may argue the innocent would suffer with NCAA penalties. That's what I thought until now, when a satan sits in jail and lives lie in ruins.
Some things are more important than football, than whether a team can go to a bowl or not. Perhaps whether a team can play at all. Maybe the NCAA Manual does apply here. Maybe there's a lifetime lesson to be learned.
I've talked to experts. I read Gregg Doyel's gripping accounts from the scene back in November.
If the NCAA prosecuting Penn State keeps another monster off the streets or makes an administrator value justice more than the football program, it's worth it. A sexual assault scandal at Montana recently cost the AD and football coach their jobs. Maybe that school deserves a letter from Emmert, too.
The key words contained in the Penn State emails revealed by CNN are disgusting, if that word holds any weight at all now, given the circumstances. Spanier was reportedly worried the school could be "vulnerable" for actions by "the subject." Curley says outright that after "talking it over with Joe," he was "uncomfortable" about the next steps to be taken.
"There is a more humane ... way to handle this," Schultz reportedly wrote.
Notice that in their attempt to reduce their culpability, they don't actually use the names "Sandusky" and "Paterno." As if that's going to save them now. Curley and Schultz are charged with perjury and failing to report child abuse. For his part, though not charged, Spanier has had a spectacular fall from the heights of power and respect.
Now it's on Emmert and the NCAA. He and it must act. Emmert promised as much when he suggested last November that Penn State may lack institutional control in the matter. Never mind at that point that Jerry Sandusky was still presumed innocent, with the jury that would convict him not yet formed. Never mind that Emmert had taken the NCAA to a place it had never gone before -- essentially outside of athletics.
It's clear the NCAA, the country and the world have changed. Back then, the worst we thought was that Emmert had made a show out of the NCAA's perceived power. Congress was watching, with the NCAA's tax-exempt status dangling somewhere in the background. The public was watching, asking why the NCAA didn't do something.
Those of us who knew better, well, thought we knew better. Nothing would come it. The NCAA has no jurisdiction over a culture of enabling that allowed Sandusky to commit his crimes. But since taking office, Emmert has been both a fast talker and fast mover. A reformer on wheels. That has mostly been a good thing. But with this little stunt, it seemed then he had crossed a line -- one largely forgotten about until now.
Now that letter, an investigation and the possibility of NCAA sanction don't seem so outrageous. Based on the CNN report alone, Emmert has his proof that -- in his words -- "individuals with present or former administrative or coaching responsibilities may have been aware of this behavior." He has proof that Penn State as a living, breathing, enabling institution -- an administrative monster itself -- violated NCAA Bylaw 10.1, which deals with ethical conduct.
Sandusky is in jail, guilty as hell. All those civil suits await, with who knows what more disgusting details to come. The power trio that was at Penn State allegedly has been caught on record. A monster was knowingly aided and abetted by the school administration. Penn State must pay in ways unimaginable before Emmert wrote that letter.
Why? Because Emmert wrote that letter ... suggesting that Penn State may have violated the Principle Of Institutional Control And Responsibility.
Think of that clause at the front of the manual as the association's Book of Genesis. Before anything else happens, you believe with all your heart in the beginning. In this case, Constitution, Article 2, Bylaw 2.1.2:
An institution's responsibility in rules compliance includes "the actions of its staff members." The president is specifically mentioned.
Victims have suffered. Those in power are culpable. Now it's time for the NCAA to do the right thing, to go to a place we never thought it would: Penalize an institution for gross moral misconduct. It would send the most important message in the NCAA's 107-year history.
Football can't be that important. Ever.

ACTT Workshop: Iowa
Maximizing Mobility
Chapter 2: Project Details
2.1. Project Overview
The proposed improvements to the Council Bluffs Interstate system are intended to enhance mobility throughout the I-80, I-29 and I-480 corridors; upgrade the condition of the roadways; reduce traffic congestion and crashes; strengthen system linkages by making transitions between Interstates easier; correct functional design issues; and accommodate planned development. The corridor study will consider long-term, broadly based transportation improvements designed to address crucial travel issues in the project area. Once implemented, these improvements will bring the I-80, I-29 and I-480 corridors up to current engineering standards (Iowa DOT, Nebraska DOR and AASHTO) and modernize the existing roadway to accommodate future traffic needs.
2.2. Project Area
The project area is located within Pottawattamie County in Iowa and Douglas County in Nebraska. Council Bluffs, Iowa, and Omaha, Nebraska, are located across the Missouri River from one another on the east and west banks, respectively. The corridor includes approximately 18 mainline miles of Interstate and 14 interchanges (three system, 11 service). The project area includes I-80 from east of the I-480 interchange in Omaha east to US 6 (Kanesville Blvd.). It also includes I-29 from 25th Avenue to just south of U.S. 275 and I-480 from the Missouri River Bridge on the Iowa side to the I-29 interchange.
Figure 1: Project Area
2.3. Project Goals and Objectives
The Iowa DOT will be evaluating design options for the CBIS Improvements Project. The project team asked workshop participants to assist in developing proposed improvements by providing discussion on how best to:
- Provide a transportation system with enough capacity and operational efficiency to accommodate 2030 travel forecasts.
- Correct functional design issues such as left-hand exits, shoulder width, lane balance and ramp spacing as well as the operational issues associated with the interchange configurations.
- Improve the deteriorating conditions of the existing roadway.
- Address and reduce the occurrence of serious traffic crashes.
- Support existing and planned development in the project area.
2.4. Project Challenges
The Interstate system in Council Bluffs is typically used by 20,000 to 75,000 vehicles each day, of which anywhere from 11 to 25 percent are trucks. In some areas, I-80 currently carries more than twice the traffic it was designed to accommodate. Traffic on I-29 north and south of I-80 averages 20,000 vehicles per day, a figure that is expected to double by the year 2030. For the approximately two miles where I-80 and I-29 overlap, traffic is projected to increase to over 110,000 vehicles a day by the year 2030.
And the traffic counts aren't just an issue on the Interstate: several interchanges in the metro area are also carrying higher traffic volumes than they were originally designed to serve. This has resulted in congestion at numerous interchanges during peak traffic periods.
Further, most of the Council Bluffs Interstate System was constructed in the late 1960s. Although routine maintenance took place throughout the 1980s and 1990s, no major improvements have been made to the system since it was constructed. Much of the pavement and many of the bridges need to be updated and brought up to current engineering standards.
Additional challenges include:
- Access and traffic handling during construction. With so many employment and activity centers throughout the corridor, constructability and access are underlying concerns.
- Affordability. An economic and efficient design that garners community support will be vital in moving the project towards construction. The Iowa DOT has committed funds for this project; however, many other projects throughout the State are competing for these same funds.
- Construction timeframe. The projected construction timeframe is approximately 10 years. Ideas received at the ACTT workshop will be important in helping reduce that construction schedule. Public outreach, contractor coordination and community awareness will prove crucial to the overall success of the project.
2.5. Environmental Documentation
In 2001, the Iowa DOT and FHWA initiated the CBIS Improvements Project. The agencies determined that the environmental study would be conducted as a tiered, two-stage process.
Tier 1, which is complete, consisted of an examination of the overall system needs; a study of the alternatives that would satisfy these needs; and broad consideration of potential environmental and social impacts. The examination considered the following alternatives:
- No build.
- Reconstruction of all or part of the Interstate (construction alternative).
- Enhancement of alternate modes of transportation, i.e., transit and bicycle and pedestrian trails.
- Incorporation of transportation management strategies (TDM and TSM).
- Enhancements of other metro-area roadways.
- Construction of a new cross-town roadway.
An Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) was prepared for Tier 1. Based on the Tier 1 evaluation, the construction alternative has been identified as the preferred alternative, with three key element decisions in place. They are as follows:
- Construct a new I-80 Missouri River Bridge north of the existing bridge.
- Provide direct access between I-29 and West Broadway.
- Utilize the dual divided cross-section for the overlap section of I-80/I-29.
During Tier 2, the Iowa DOT will prepare more detailed NEPA documents for the five project segments identified in Tier I. The project segments are shown in figure 2 below.
Figure 2: Tier 2 Project Segments
2.6. Project Status
FHWA has signed the Tier 1 Final EIS, and the Iowa DOT has begun detailed engineering and environmental analysis of segments one through three. A Documented Categorical Exclusion (DCE) will be developed for each of the three segments following the identification of a preferred concept (expected in 2006). Final design will begin in 2007. The first construction project, the 24th Street overhead bridge, will begin in 2008. The construction of the new Missouri River Bridge will also begin in 2008, with other projects in segments two and three to follow as funding becomes available. Segments four and five will be undertaken at a later date.

Capitals Rookie Game Tix Available Online
The Washington Capitals are set to kick off their rookie camp on September 14, 2008 — check in here for updates from our friend John Sparenberg. As part of the rookie camp, the Caps will host a rookie game against the Philadephia Flyers at Kettler Capital Ice Plex, starting at 3 pm on September 18th.
The rookie game is free, as is all of the on-ice sessions during rookie camp, but you most visit WashingtonCaps.com to secure your free "ticket" to gain admission. Because of the limited seating available at Kettler, there will be a maximum of 2 tickets per person, and obviously on a first-come, first-serve basis. Also, and again because of the limited seating, your ticket won't necessarily get you a seat, so be sure to get there early, and grab a chunk of bench as soon as you get there to make sure you get to see the action.
Online ticketing will begin Thursday, September 4. Be sure to bring the original ticket you print when your RSVP. Phtocopies will not be accepted. To get in, park in the Ballston Commons mall parking garage and take the elevator to the 8th floor.
Upon the completion of rookie camp, the veterans and a select group of prospects will report for Caps training camp on September 20. All on-ice sessions are open to the public and free of charge. If you've never been to a Caps training camp session, I highly recommend doing so. You'll get a perspective of the game you've never had before, and from a vantage point few get without strapping on the pads on skating yourself or chelling out some cash for lower-lower level seats at Verizon.
