Oklahoma State football: Gundy finds an advantage in playing Mississippi State
OSU opens the college football season against Mississippi State. The Cowboys opened the 2012 season against Savannah State.
A couple of Old South-sounding names. And that's where the similarities end.
Mississippi State, while not a powerhouse, is a solid program from the Southeastern Conference. Savannah State was non-competitive on all levels.
OSU beat Savannah State 84-0, and it could have been worse. The score was 49-0 at halftime and 70-0 with 71/2 minutes left in the third quarter.
Mike Gundy's mercy the rest of the way could have earned him some humanitarian award nominations, if not for the unpleasant fact that Gundy endorsed the scheduling of the game in the first place.
This kind of opener is much better. The Cowboys have talked about how much practices are better, knowing the first opponent can fight back. Our man John Helsley had a story in the Tuesday Oklahoman, talking about that very thing. You can read that here.
"The players know what they're into by watching tape," Gundy said. "Last year, we never tried to convince them anything other than what was up. Play at our highest level. This year, we have the advantage of playing a good football team. They can watch the tape and make those decisions on their own."
The absurdity of the OSU-Savannah State matchup has not dimmed, a year later. After the score reached 70-0, the Cowboys resorted to their third-team quarterback. Fellow by the name of Clint Chelf. Uh-oh.
Chelf, throwing to people like Brandon Shepard and Cameron Gravelle, completed all three of his passes on a 68-yard TD drive. Can't blame Gundy or Todd Monken for throwing. The drive started with a four-yard loss by tailback Caleb Muncrief. On 2nd-and-14, OSU ran – and Corey Bennett gained 10 yards. On third down, Bennett gained 12 yards.
What was OSU supposed to do? On the final TD drive, Chelf didn't get to throw – Bennett carried nine times and Chelf once, on a 10-play drive.
Bennett, a walkon from Choctaw, carried 12 times in the game for 91 yards. He finished the season with those 91 yards.
Savannah State the next week went to Florida State – the Seminoles schedule Savannah State out of necessity; West Virginia bailed late on a game – and lost 55-0, in a game called because of weather with eight minutes left in the third quarter.
Savannah State went on to finish 1-10, beating Edward Waters College 42-35. Edward Waters is an NAIA school located in Jacksonville.
In the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference, Savannah State lost to North Carolina Central 45-33, Howard 56-9, Morgan State 45-6, Florida A&M 44-3, Hampton 21-13, Norfolk State 33-21, Bethune-Cookman 49-7 and South Carolina State 27-13.
So the Tigers seemed to improve a little as the season wore on. They open the 2013 season at Georgia Southern and at Troy, then host Fort Valley State. On Sept. 21, Savannah State plays at the University of Miami.

Canadian stocks closed higher on Tuesday up 62 points to a new
2-year high. Most sectors were higher led by Metals and Mining,

Labor released September's Non-farm Payroll report three weeks late
due to the government shutdown. The BLS reported that payrolls
increased by 148K jobs compared to the 180K expected by economists.
The softer than expected numbers gave a boost to stocks as the idea
of tapering the Feds bond purchase program was kicked further into
Canada Lithium Corp. (CLQ.TO) was the most active share closing
down 4.2% with 9 million shares changing hands. The company this
morning reported that it has entered into an agreement with Dundee

Details and Benefits
Process Components
Closing the Loop
Balance the conflicting priorities of ensuring attainment of on-time delivery targets while balancing the inventory investment.
Effective inventory management ensures there is enough supply available to cover variations in demand and supply availability, while minimizing the expense of that supply. RapidResponse helps customers effectively and continuously align their inventory levels and budgets with the company's financial business plans.
Tailored for Your Business
RapidResponse applications are based on best-practices and standard process flows established by our years of successful deployments at a multitude of world-leading manufacturers. The out-of-the-box Inventory Management application enables quick implementations and also acts as an advanced starting point for a tailored solution that meets your company's unique needs.
The Added Value of Integrated Applications
Among the greatest advantages of any given RapidResponse application is the ability to leverage it in conjunction with other applications as part of a broader, integrated solution. Depending on the need, significant added benefits can be achieved by using the Inventory Management application alongside one or more related applications to ensure synchronization across interrelated planning processes. Companies that use the Inventory Management application can achieve advantages and broader value by using it with connected applications such as (but not limited to):

Managing Performance
In addition to the standard corporate measures of revenue, margin, on-time delivery and constraint utilization, metrics associated specifically with inventory management are also included in the application's out-of-the-box dashboards. This allows for focused management of the performance measures that are most applicable to the function at hand.
Added measures presented in the Inventory Management dashboard include:
The following graphic illustrates the out-of-the-box Inventory Management application process. This process can be tailored to meet your company's specific business needs.

Stock Up Now Before It's Too Late
Should you buy a year's supply of freeze-dried food?
My new favorite online cooking show looks a lot like your typical Food Network programming. It features a cheerful host, bright lights, and a huge, spotless kitchen set up in front of a studio audience. Today's episode is Western-themed, so Chef Todd is wearing a cowboy hat while demonstrating a hearty beef stew that you can cook over a campfire using nothing but a cast-iron pot. But something is different: there's no food. Not food as you'd ordinarily picture it, anyway.
The beef and onions he starts off with are freeze-dried chunks, and all the vegetables and spices are powders scooped out of No. 10 cans (of which there are plenty more on the shelves behind him). He adds a lot of water and stirs. This process is pretty much the same for each of the five dishes he makes over the course of the half-hour episode, including a dessert of peach cobbler. Not even Rachael Ray is as fast, he proudly points out. I notice, though, that he never shows us what the finished product looks like.
This show, THRIVE Live, is produced by Shelf Reliance, a company that sells a wide range of emergency preparedness products: freeze-dried food kits, solar ovens, water purifiers, and even gift baskets and cookbooks. It also has a celebrity endorsement of a sort: The company provided a year's worth of food to Matt Rutherford, a young sailor who completed a 27,000-mile solo circumnavigation of North and South America without stopping once. Shelf Reliance is one of a new crop of companies that are slowly and subtly bringing survivalism into the mainstream. These vendors aim to fight the stereotype of the tin-foil-hat-wearing mountain-dweller and make long-term food storage a way of life for everyone.
Self-sufficiency without government services is not just a point of pride for many libertarian-minded citizens (and the basis of a ubiquitous political slogan). But whether or not they're Ron Paul supporters, Americans have never had so many motivations to stockpile food. Stock market crashes, job losses, extreme weather, and the lingering trauma of terrorist attacks all do a number on our national psyche. So-called once-in-a-lifetime storms lately feel like regular, yearly events. Reasonable worries about the next layoff, or the next hurricane, can grow into paranoia—about, for instance, martial-law-enforced food rationing following a natural disaster or catastrophic terrorist attack. Bombastic politicians and screeching television commentators vocalize these secret fears, and fictional TV dramas (like NBC's Revolution) and reality TV spectacles (like National Geographic's Doomsday Preppers) reflect and perhaps magnify our angst.
Thankfully, reality rarely bears our fears out. In 2010, Glenn Beck quoted "inflation experts" on his Fox News program in predicting that food prices would soon rise "700 to 1,000 percent." He brandished a loaf of wheat bread that he calculated would cost $23, and a 2-pound box of sugar that would cost $62, as early as 2011. (In New York City in 2012, they're about $4 and $2.50, respectively.)
But our anxieties, whether founded or unfounded, prompt the question: How much time and money should we be spending preparing for the very worst? Packing a "go bag" of essentials makes perfect sense if you live in a frequently-evacuated flood zone, and having some extra flashlight batteries and bottled water in the cabinet in case of a power outage is smart thinking for just about everyone. But even in extreme cases, we generally understand that power outages, floodwater, road closures, and other obstacles to hot, fresh food are temporary. Even for people in New York and New Jersey who have been made homeless by Hurricane Sandy, donated food and shelters are available, thanks in part to charities both official and spontaneous.
But companies like Shelf Reliance aren't just selling food for tragic scenarios like the one Sandy brought to the East Coast this fall. They're selling a lifestyle. How bad would things have to get for a family to have to survive for an entire year or more on what they had stockpiled, an eventuality for which many survivalist food kits are designed? Cormac McCarthy's The Road bad, I'm guessing.
Survivalism's new, softer sell acknowledges all of these fears—it trades on them—but with savvy and subtlety. A quick search for "gourmet survival food" uncovers a number of websites displaying beautiful-looking food that can apparently be made from companies' bulk ingredients—ingredients with a 20- to 30-year shelf life. Auguson Farms advertises "delicious peace of mind." Prepared Planet's tagline is "The art of self-sufficiency." The "Sean Hannity special" kit by Food Insurance includes freeze-dried ice cream sandwiches. My favorite website, Survival Gourmet, features a picturesque log cabin on its homepage and offers a wider selection of meals than a Greek diner, from "Beefy Stroganoff With Mushrooms" to "Thai Coconut Noodles." Of the noodles, the website brags, "You'll think you are in the heart of Thailand when you enjoy the robust flavors of this seasoned spicy delight!"
The threat of danger is lurking just beneath the high Web-production value, however. "Is the government secretly stockpiling food?" asks a provocative "in the news" link in a sidebar of Prepared Planet's site. "Not being properly prepared only puts you at a disadvantage and at the mercy of civil authorities and other prepared individuals around you," declares the Survival Gourmet website, adding (as if it were necessary), "This is not the situation you want to be in."
The language of fear is stitched artfully into the description of each item for sale. A video on Shelf Reliance's site about fuel pellets begins with predictable B-roll of people hiking and mountain-biking—but camping is only one use for this product, says the host. "Fire is so critical for our mental and our physical health" in emergency situations, he reminds us. Canned food kits describe not only the delicious flavor of the food inside, but the benefit of its high calorie count. "The daily calories in this package will keep you going during stressful times with hearty grains," reads the description of the Shelf Reliance Supreme 1-Year Freeze-Dried & Dehydrated Food Supply kit. "Each of the package's 180 gallon-sized cans give you the security and safety of having tasty food on-hand when tough times strike."

 A poetry book with personality… A book with emotions that are real, a book with pain you can feel. The author uses the art of poetry and short stories to convey thoughts, views and ideas. Various topics are touched upon and the issues highlighted are dealt with in a contemporary manner (not your conventional, "Your eyes shine like the moon" poetry). Experience and wisdom form the backbone to this book. As you read you delve into the mind of the author and begin a mental and emotional journey, which you can and will relate to. This is more than a book, it is more than a glossy cover, sheets of paper and ink. It is his convictions, his thoughts, his pain, fears, dreams, history and his story, in just...'A Few Words…' … My mind to you, in an open book…

Military-acquired skills assist lawmaker in overcoming life's challenges
Monday, May 14, 2012
As a freshman lawmaker, state Rep. Zach Wyatt, R-Green Castle, believes study skills cultivated during his military service helped prepare him for the range of issues he has encountered in his legislative career.
Raised on a small farm near Novinger, Wyatt graduated from high school in 2003 and soon joined the Air Force to help acquire "an education without debt."
While at the Military Entrance Processing Station, he was asked if he was interested in taking a language proficiency exam.
The only one in his group to pass the exam, Wyatt was classified as an "airborne cryptologic linguist" and sent to Lackland AFB, Texas, to complete his basic training and aircrew school.
"While there, we received familiarization training in aircraft such as the RC-135 and C-130," Wyatt said.
He then traveled to Monterrey, Calif., where he began to study the Russian language at the Defense Language Institute.

5@5 is a daily, food-related list from chefs, writers, political pundits, musicians, actors, and all manner of opinionated people from around the globe.
Anthony Lamas has fond memories of traveling to Tijuana, Mexico, while living in California just to get aguas frescas from street vendors, who would ladle the refreshing beverages over ice. The fruit coolers are simple combinations of fruits, and sometimes cereals or seeds, with sugar and water.
"To Latinos, not even lemonade can evoke summer like aguas frescas," says Lamas, the executive chef of Seviche in Louisville, Kentucky. "In Mexico, for example, popular flavors include tamarind, passion fruit and mango, but since I am in the South, I like to use peaches and melons. It's really about using what is local and in season."
Five Refreshing Aguas Frescas: Anthony Lamas
1. Watermelon Agua Fresca
1 whole watermelon, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes (In Mexico, the seeds are served in the beverage, but you may wish to use a seedless variety or seed the melon.)
Place the watermelon in a pitcher and use a potato masher to crush the fruit. Add the sugar and lime juice and cover the mixture with the ice and water. Stir for about 2 minutes to dissolve the sugar. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours. To serve, pour the agua fresca over ice and garnish with a lime wedge if desired.
2. Honeydew Agua Fresca
3. Peach Agua Fresca
4. Kiwi-Lime Agua Fresca
5. Horchata
1 cup uncooked rice
Put the rice, almonds and water in a blender and blend until the rice and almonds are broken up, about 2 minutes. Refrigerate the mixture overnight. Strain the water into a pitcher. Add the ice, cinnamon, sugar and vanilla bean. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Is there someone you'd like to see in the hot seat? Let us know in the comments below and if we agree, we'll do our best to chase 'em down.

"Great quality, adorable soft/sweet invitation for a baby shower. I got great feedback from so many who received this invite from me."
"I order all my invitations from tiny prints and have always been satisfied and this time was no different! Fast delivery and a beautiful product as always. I especially like the back detail on this invitation, it makes it extra special :)"
"Item selection was easy. The actual product looks exactly like the proof. Delivery was on time and exactly what I ordered. I'm glad I ordered extra envelopes they came in handy when I spelled names wrong. I would order again for another event."
"This card was so quick and easy to customize. The colors on the printed card were adorable and vibrant and the print quality was excellent. I highly recommend this card!"
"Quality of paper, design, color and printing surpassed my expectations. Personalization was easy and the free order double check for spelling and etiquette was reassuring. Communication regarding confirmation, printing, shipping and delivery was excellent. The order arrived well ahead of schedule and was perfect."

They're sitting here talking about kids, and the conversation turns to spanking (which immediately raises my hackles). This one woman is talking about how her sons "spank the crap" out of her grandkids when they do something wrong or how when they fall, her sons just tell them to suck it up ... and she thinks this is funny. So she tells a story about how one of her grandkids kicked the dog ... you guys, I couldn't help myself. I turned around and said "and why do you think he does that? He's learned that if he does something his parents don't like, they hit him. The dog did something HE didn't like ... so he kicked him. Why is anyone suprised that this happened? Violence begets violence." Of course this pisses her off and she completely disagrees and goes on about "to each his own" .... I kid you not, the woman actually brought my kid up and said "At 1 1/2, your child knows better than to have tantrums. My husband would have grabbed them by the arm, thrown them in a chair and said 'we don't act like that here!'"
So apparently, because I walk away from Paisley while she's having a tantrum instead of getting physical with her, I'm raising a brat. Nice.

As this issue tortures mac users for many years now, seems like apple programmers don't care about fixing it at all.

Changing screen resolution doesn't make any difference with the ATI Radeon cards...
Mac Admin1 Sep 17, 2012 7:58 AM
in response to neslein
neslein: then how do you explain that opposite what you say, it does a difference?
I have a Radeon HD 6870, and yes, changing the resolution brings back the performance.
JAUG Sep 18, 2012 8:24 AM
in response to Mac Admin1
On my 10.7.2 I have only one resolutionAnd that bug fix there didn't help too. Maybe there are some ideas what to do next? (no, i'm not going to upgrade)
Mac Admin1 Sep 18, 2012 8:32 AM
in response to JAUG
JAUG > may I ask what king of mac (hackintosh?) you own that has only one resolution available?
I've never seen such a thing. And what monitor you have? model no. etc.
joevt Nov 4, 2012 1:10 PM
in response to Kersten Lohmeyer
I have an Apple 30" Cinema HD display connected to a Radeon HD 5870 1GB in a MacPro3,1 running Mountain Lion. Changing the screen resolution did not restore OpenGL performance for me after waking from sleep.
I figured that if changing resolutions is supposed to fix the problem, then perhaps the thing the fixes the problem is that the Radeon timings (pixel clock) are altered/recalculated/reset/whatever whenever the resolution changes.
But all the resolutions for the LCD display are scaled resolutions which means the Radeon is always outputing 2560x1600. The framebuffer is of different sizes but the output timings are unchanged.
Therefore, the solution might be to create a custom resolution (using something like SwitchResX) which is not a scaled resolution. The EDID of the Cinema HD display says it supports 1280 x 800 @ 59.910Hz and 2560 x 1600 @ 59.860Hz. I used SwitchResX to add a 1280 x 800 @ 59.910Hz non-scaled resolution and restarted the Mac.
Now when I wake the Mac from sleep, I can use that 1280 x 800 non-scaled resolution to restore OpenGL performance. It works.
Note that the Apple graphics drivers will not allow both a scaled and non-scaled version of the same resolution. When I add the non-scaled 1280 x 800, I can nolonger use the scaled 1280 x 800. The difference between 1280 x 800 scaled and non-scaled is that for scaled, the graphics card does the scaling and adds filtering to the pixels making them blurry and outputs 2560 x 1600. Non-scaled outputs 1280 x 800 and the Cinema HD itself quadruples the pixels to 2560 x 1600 without filtering (making them very sharp and crisp).

I have a 2008 Mac Pro (3,1). NO PROBLEMS until I upgraded to Mountain Lion. Now I have get weird pixel glitches followed by constant freezes. Looked at my crash log and sure enough its taxing the GPU too hard and its bugging out.
DO NOT upgrade unless you have to. Not sure if even an upgraded graphics card is gonna help my machine. And they are so expensive now anyway, not sure it's worth it.
One temp fix I've been using is downloading SMC fan control and monitoring internal temp of my Mac Pro and raising the fan speed. Its actually cooled it down so that I can work outside of safe mode. But obviously, not a good permanent fix.
Really frustrating they aren't supporting machines that aren't even that old. Trying to obsolete everything. So many mistakes from Apple lately. Very frustrating.
ViktorCode Dec 18, 2012 8:18 AM
in response to radracer
My 2008 Mac Pro works perfectly well under Mountain Lion with NVIDIA graphics. Had to replace graphics card after Lion came out and brought slow performance after sleep for ATI owners. What you describe looks more like a hardware problem. Could be fan failure or too much dust on your graphics card.
radracer Dec 18, 2012 8:50 AM
in response to ViktorCode
Did a pretty serious cleaning of dust from my machine, so I'm fairly confident that's not the issue. Fans had no problems until Mountain Lion.
What are the specs on your NVIDIA card?
StevenLei Dec 27, 2012 3:16 PM

Im pretty clueless when it comes to computers. I own a 2008 iMac with
Processor: 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory: 2 GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
Graphics: ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro 256 MB
Software: Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63b)
I had the Harddrive crash and replaced last summer, and had the graphic card needed to be replaced. I after the graphics card being replaced all everything graphic wise is slow/choppy. I don't want to buy a new computer unless i need to. Any help/suggestions would be nice.

Apple says the issue I was having was fixed in 10.8.3. I no longer have a performance slow down after sleep with my ATI Radeon HD 5870.
neslein Mar 25, 2013 12:08 PM
in response to joevt
Hey, you're right! Finally! No more performance degradation after sleep - everything just runs as smooth as it should! Thank you, Apple - what took you so long? Now I can actually use the sleep mode on my Mac Pro 3,1 with the ATI 5870 card again! Problem solved!

I'm getting nasty screen glitches even after upgarding straight from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion. I now have ML version 10.8.3 but they are still there. My iMac is a Mid 2007 model with the ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro 256 MB built in GPU.

ive been wanting to do an eye for a while, and i found a brilliant picture of an eye in watercolour the other day from a deviant called, pepsimaxilike. and it inspired me to do it in watercolour. so i have them to thank for the inspiration for this piece. i wanted the watercolour to look scruffy and for the eye to look scared. the eye is so scared a tear is coming out. after i had watercoloured it i went over the top with a black pen and did the outline in a scruffy comic book sort of way, it was great fun and i think it turned out well, i think its worth trying.
wow this is fantastic, good to see an even better portrayal too its really brillint , very vibrant. its actually inspired me back hah. fantastic
thanks very much i am glad you like it. superb glad the inspiration is back with you too. let me know how it goes and good luck with the exams
I just ruined a picture with watercolors : (

You don't have to look very hard this time of year to find something to do.
And this weekend is especially busy.
Whatever it is you enjoy doing, you can probably find it going on around the area as the summer season quickly approaches.
Consider these options, just to name a few:
Anytime closing schools is suggested people get upset.
That response should be expected.
Moneta Elementary School and Bedford Primary School were both targeted to be closed in the state-mandated efficiency study, which was released to the public and governing bodies last week.
National Safe Boating Week is May 17 – 23 and the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries (VDGIF) is reminding all boaters to remember some important safety tips this boating season.
We shouldn't need to be reminded twice about this.
This is going to be an important week for Bedford County Public Schools, the Moneta and Body Camp communities and, most importantly, the children the school system serves.
On Monday, the School Board will be conducting a public hearing on potential closing/consolidation of elementary schools in the Staunton River Zone and the resulting redistricting of students. Then, next Thursday, June 5, the School Board will hold a special called meeting to discuss, and potentially vote, to close a school.
They were farmers, baseball players, factory workers.
They had girlfriends—they enjoyed using the dollar they earned at National Guard meetings to buy popcorn and share a drink at the movies.
The got Bibles for Christmas; they shot pool.
And they gave their all for their country.
Friday marks the 70th anniversary of D-Day, when this nation's best stormed the beaches of Normandy. And in the first wave were the best and brightest of Bedford.
It was a bad idea from the start.
Local schools need to be controlled by local folks, not the state.
Last week Judge Charles E. Poston of the Norfolk Circuit Court ruled in favor of the Virginia School Boards Association (VSBA) and the city of Norfolk School Board and held the Opportunity Educational Institution (OEI) and its governing board unconstitutional.
That was the right decision.
We need less, not more, state and federal interference.
Something got lost in the translation.
Hopefully it's just a misunderstanding that can be quickly fixed. But there may be other issues.
After apparently reaching a consensus that the county would support helping to pay to extend sewer service in Moneta—through a public-private partnership involving the county, the school system, local developer George Aznavorian and the Bedford Regional Water Authority—that support was called into question Monday by the supervisors.
He's at it again.
As if the current crisis wasn't enough, President Obama is going for more.
When the President penned the "Dream Act" by executive fiat, the consequences went far beyond what the action was intended.
By using the executive order to suspend deportations of illegal immigrants who came here as children, word went out throughout Mexico and Central America that it was open house for children to illegally enter the United States.
Normally this back-to-school editorial challenges parents to take responsibility for their children's education.
They should. The more involved parents are, the more likely their children are to be successful in school.
But students must take responsibility, too. And that's the focus of this year's exhortation.
The time of sliding by needs to be dumped in the trash with those federally-mandated healthy lunches nobody wants to eat.
Sometimes the Senate, House and even the White House can work together.
That seems to be the case in the Unlocking Consumer Choice and Wireless Competition Act.
The Act passed unanimously through both the Senate and House recently and has been inked into law by President Obama. It's a common-sense law that benefits the consumer and should increase competition among wireless companies.

Around the country, many turn-of-the-century cemeteries are experiencing similar issues. Over time, markers and monuments have been knocked down and damaged from vandalism or old age. As the seasons pass, the elements begin to bury these memorials underground where they become lost to time.
The cemeteries here in Beloit are no exception.
Walrath, who lives next to Oakwood Cemetery, decided that one good turn deserved another and began a personal quest to uncover the ancestors of others, just as the New York caretaker had done for her.
"I started uncovering stones in the cemetery on July 23 when I took my dog for a walk and discovered that we were actually walking on buried stones," Walrath said. "I've uncovered 147 so far, many with just a spade and whisk broom. I've tried to keep track of them. If there is a name I can read, I feel like they are my people now and I'd love to see their stones restored," Walrath said.
Many people walking by wouldn't even notice the hundreds of fallen stones, including the headstone of Horace White, one of Beloit College's most famous alums who went on to cover Abraham Lincoln and the Civil War for the Chicago Tribune.
As the cemetery coordinator for the city of Beloit, Robert Pokorney is no stranger to the need for restoration at the Oakwood Cemetery. Last year he had a chance occurrence of his own. While getting supplies at a department store, he noticed a truck with the logo of a company that specialized in cemetery restoration.
Pokorney took the opportunity to meet Mark Davis of Stone Saver Cemetery Restoration and Helen Wildermuth of Stonehugger Cemetery Restoration, who were up from their home base in Indiana doing work in Rockton and Roscoe.
Originally Pokorney just wanted to ask for a few tips on restoring headstones, but it evolved into something more.
"There's a soldier monument that stands guard at the front of the cemetery that was vandalized two years ago for the second or third time," Pokorney said. "It was broken so badly that I spent all last winter drilling and pinning him back together, and I just wanted to make sure I was doing it the right way. They came over and took a look at my work, we talked about how to repair and put some longevity into these markers, and they gave me their cards."
According to Pokorney, he's had restoration plans on the table for several years, but they have been cost prohibitive with the resources available. After seeing how passionate Wildermuth and Davis were about their craft and the quality of their work, Pokorney started to think that they were the right people for the job.
"I talked to director of parks Brian Ramsey and supervisor of parks Mark Edwards, and we all sat down and were able to come up with the funding to do a limited phase one restoration on some of these markers that have been broken through vandalism over the decades," Pokorney said.
Because Davis and Wildermuth make their way to Rockton and Roscoe every year to do restorations there, Pokorney set it up this year to have some restorations completed in Oakwood. Davis and Wildermuth arrived in October with a crew of eight and stayed for a week. They fully restore a total of 27 stones, and if you ask Walrath or Pokorney, it was worth it.
"They hand clean them with these little plastic wheels on their drills and they spray them; it doesn't hurt the marker at all," Pokorney said. "Once they have them cleaned they come up with a plan on how to repair it. If it needs pinning, they drill two alignment holes and put in a stainless rod so it won't deteriorate. The results are incredible. They look as if they were brand new."
"The finished stones are beautiful," Walrath said. "Pride and respect have been given back to the deceased. The names and dates can be read again and that's how it should be."
Pokorney even feels that the restoration will act in part as a new deterrent against future vandalism. In his experience, the most vandalized markers and monument have been the ones that were weakest, or rocked when you leaned against them. These markers would become targets because they were the easiest to damage. But the method Davis and Wildermuth used to reset them made them stronger and firmer than ever before.
In addition, now that the restoration has been completed, Pokorney has asked the police to do a few more patrols when possible, and made contact with members of the community who walk the grounds regularly to keep and eye out for any suspicious activity.
Even though Pokorney is pleased with the results, his plan doesn't stop there. Pokorney already is looking into having Davis and Wildermuth come back next year, but in addition to the normal amount of funding, he plans to initiate a sponsorship program that would allow members of the community to sponsor a cleaning or restoration. Pokorney admits that it's a lot of work, but something so steeped in history is worth saving.
"It's got all the city's history wrapped up in it. If you go through there you see just about every street and school name in Beloit on a marker; it's rich with local history," Pokorney said.
With much more of the project ahead than behind, Pokorney has his work cut out for him, but he'd like to see the restoration complete, and members of the community like Walrath couldn't agree more.
"There are over 320 fallen tablets in the old section that need standing back up once they're cleaned and repaired, plus the monuments and hundreds more that need cleaning," Walrath said. "It says a lot about a city if they do or don't care enough to take care of the early citizens. I'd love to see it fully restored, as it should be. We all have to remember where we came from and where we'll all be someday."

The Automotive Edge
Keeping EV Wheels on the Road
|Pam Frost Gorder
|January 23rd 2013
It weighs half as much as a sports car, and turns on a dime—so its no surprise that the electric car being developed at Ohio State University needs an exceptional traction and motion control system to keep it on the road.
With four wheels that turn independently, each with its own built-in electric motor and set of batteries, the experimental car is the only one of its kind outside of commercial carmakers' laboratories. "It is considered one of the promising future vehicle architectures,†said Junmin Wang, assistant professor of mechanical engineering and Director of the Vehicle Systems and Control Laboratory at Ohio State. "It would make a good in-city car—efficient and maneuverable, with no emissions. Our task is to make a robust control system to keep it safe and reliable.â€
In a paper in the January 2013 issue of the journal Control Engineering Practice, his team described the car's ability to follow a specific trajectory.
In tests on good road conditions at the Transportation Research Center in East Liberty, Ohio, the car followed a driver's desired path within four inches (10 cm). To test slippery road conditions, the researchers took the car to an empty west campus parking lot on a snowy day. There, the car maneuvered with an accuracy of up to eight inches (20 cm), and the vehicle traction and motion control system prevented "fishtailing†through independent control of the left and right sides of the car.
Wang characterized these results as more accurate than a conventional car, though the comparison is hard to make, given that conventional cars are much more limited in maneuverability by the transmission and differential systems that link the wheels together mechanically. The four independent wheels of the electric car give drivers greater control and more freedom of movement.
The experimental car also weighs half as much as a conventional car—only 800 kg, or a little over 1,750 pounds—because it contains no engine, no transmission, and no differential. The researchers took a commercially available sport utility vehicle chassis and removed all those parts, and added a 7.5 kW electric motor to each wheel and a 15 kW lithium-ion battery pack. A single electrical cable connects the motors to a central computer.
One hundred times a second, the onboard computer samples input data from the steering wheel, gas pedal and brake and calculates how each wheel should respond. Because the wheels are independent, one or more can brake while the others accelerate, providing enhanced traction and motion control.
In fact, a driver who is accustomed to conventional cars would have a difficult time driving a car of this experimental design, known as a "four-wheel independently actuated†(FIWA) car without the help of the vehicle motion and traction control system. With its ability to turn sharply and change direction very quickly, the car could be hard to control. Wang has tried it.
"Without the controller, it's very hard to drive. With the controller, it's quite nice—quiet, and better control than commercial four-wheel drive,†he said.
The main challenge for his team—which consists of bachelor's, master's, and doctoral students as well as a few local high school students—is to make the whole traction and motion control system energy-efficient and fault-tolerant, so if one wheel, motor or brake malfunctions, the others can compensate for it and maintain safety. It's a situation analogous to a multi-engine plane losing an engine: the other engines have to adjust thrust and angle to keep the plane safe and on course.
Future work will concern the FIWA car's energy efficiency for increasing its travel range in urban environments, and optimizing the weight distribution in the car.
Wang estimates that we won't see a FIWA car on the road for another 5-10 years, as researchers continue to develop new algorithms to control the car more efficiently and add more safety features.
The coauthor on the paper was Rongrong Wang, a doctoral student in mechanical engineering, and the team's high school participants came from the Columbus Metro School, a state of Ohio public STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) high school open to students from around the state.
This research was supported by Junmin Wang's awards from the Office of Naval Research Young Investigator Program (2009) and the National Science Foundation's Faculty Early Career Development Program (2012); the Honda-OSU Partnership program; and the OSU Transportation Research Endowment Program.

Volos Type-D (quicksketch) by Grebo-GuruWatch
©2012-2016 Grebo-Guru
This is just a little, quick, crummy sketch of a variant of the Volos. [link] I was shooting for a more Destroid-esque (a.k.a. Battlemech style) version with this doodle.
Very nice, although the placement of that one missile pod is a little "unorthodox"
Heh! I know what you mean... But considering that other mecha works (Dunbine, Robot Jox, etc) have used crotch-mounted weapons before, I don't think it's all that outrageous.
Robot Jox being the more prevalent, but still a fun movie, if only for the 'bot fights. Great mecha though, love the simpler head and torso design, would be awesome to see it inked and colored, plus more like it.
Awesome design.

How many ladies out there will be honest about their use of curse words?
I curse quite frequently. There's nothing like a good F-bomb in the middle of traffic or when that jerk cuts you off or steals your parking space. In fact, the f-word is my favorite curse word. I only used to curse occasionally before I met my bf. He's from Jersey, and that's just a common word out there, just like "hello" or "what's up?". It kind of rubbed off on me.Ā I embrace the potty mouth in me. I am finding I curse a lot more while I am pregnant too. Hormones?
I know many hipocrites will say that foul language is only for ignorant people who don't know any better words to express their emotions. Oh, let me tell you, I know all sorts of fancy words, but none of them convey the same level of emotion as the F-word. I am college educated and well spoken. I like bad words. What can I say? I'm a rebel. People who say "oh fudge" or "crap" are still cursing, just exchanging words. The sentiment is still there. You are still guilty, lol.
How many of you curse around your kids, or plan on not changing their language around the LO? I'll admit, my bf and I try to be respectful around old people, our parents and little kids. My kids have heard us both curse, and don't think anything of it. When they were both little I taught them that there are certain words that grown ups use that are not acceptable for kids.
I hate it when people try to police other adults about their language. I guess it's easier than teaching your kid whats not acceptable to say. You can't control the world, so just control what you can, your own kids.Ā
My son is 13 and has only said 1 bad word, and it was shit. He was corrected and has never said another curse word in my presence. My daughter is 6 and I have never heard her say a curse word. I guess I must be teaching them something right.

The killings at the Jerusalem synagogue Tuesday and the spate of Israeli killings of Palestinians in the West Bank are all small harbingers of a coming civil war.
There was a time when people like Avigdor Lieberman were not welcome in Israeli politics, or, indeed, in Jewish circles in the United States.
Shortly after Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman publicly accused Al-Jazeera of airing "anti-Semitic" propaganda, the media outlet's offices in Gaza reportedly "came under fire" Tuesday.
Avigdor Lieberman says it will be "at least a decade" before peace can be negotiated with the Palestinians. Israel's extremist foreign minister calls for "less international involvement and over-doing and over-speaking" in this interview.

Not Jewish in Israel? Repeat after me: Because I'm not Jewish, and because the Israeli government thinks non-Jews are potential threats to its security, I do solemnly swear my allegiance to Israel as a "Jewish and democratic state."

A leaked memo from Israel's consul general in Boston, Nadav Tamir, has Israel's extremist foreign minister calling for the diplomat's resignation. Tamir wrote in an internal document that his government's settlement policy has led to "the feeling in Washington that Obama has to deal with obstinacy from the governments of Iran, North Korea and Israel."

Whatever their private discussions, the governing administrations of the United States and Israel are engaged in a public back and forth that ought to give one pause. It all started when Vice President Biden said "Israel can determine for itself" whether to bomb Iran.

President Obama and newly elected Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will have their first meeting in a few weeks, a test of the special relationship between two countries that are now led by men with very different ideas about how to pursue peace in the Middle East.

It was unthinkable, when I was based as a correspondent in Jerusalem two decades ago, that an Israeli politician who openly advocated ethnically cleansing the Palestinians from Israeli-controlled territory, as well as forcing Arabs in Israel to take loyalty oaths or be forcibly relocated to the West Bank, could sit on the Cabinet.

BYD May Be Taking Cues From Buffett
TheStreet) -- Is BYD taking a page out of Warren Buffett's book? In moving away from its bold goal of mass producing an electric vehicle in China this year, BYD appears to reflect a similar conservative shift Buffett has recently been noted for.Buffett, who in the past has been known for picking out undervalued stocks with massive upside potential, has recently made it clear that he is transitioning towards a more conservative investment strategy. According to Berkshire Hathaway's (BRK.A - Get Report) most recently quarterly 13-F filing, the financier has been placing the vast number of his largest bets on companies more known for stability rather than pop. Some notable tweaks made to his legendary portfolio include large increases to his holdings of retail giant Wal-Mart (WMT - Get Report) and Republic Services Group (RSG - Get Report), a trash company. In his annual letter to Berkshire shareholders, the financier also referenced his large cash position, saying that although it's earning 0% interest, he sleeps well at night. Taking more conservative approaches to doing business will likely mean that returns for BYD and Berkshire Hathaway will be less dramatic than in the past. However, these transitions will also ensure that investors see consistent returns over the long term. BYD, which stands for "Build Your Dreams," has taken the international and domestic auto industry by storm. Though the company's roots lay in the battery and power source producing industry, it has risen to become a symbol for the alternative and electric automobile revolution. Since first making the bet in 2008, Warren Buffett's play on BYD has earned the investor billions. This week, Buffett and the rest of the company's shareholders were treated to a welcomed boost when the firm reported that strong car sales helped lift the company's fourth- quarter net profit 500%. Though BYD has largely been focused on satisfying China's automobile demand, investors and car enthusiasts have long been buzzing over when the first BYD vehicles will hit American soil. Though there remains a strong chance that we will see the company's cars on U.S. roads in the near future, the trendsetting firm appears to have extinguished plans to mass produce its electric cars in China this year.NEW YORK (

AAEA supports the war because we believe it will ultimately lead to an improved environment in Iraq and the Middle East. Notwithstanding the faulty intelligence that got us into the war, we understand the post 911 need to communicate to the rest of the world, particularly totalitarian regimes and hosts to terrorists (including our ally Saudi Arabia), that the U.S. will not tolerate attacks on our homeland. Evil doers everywhere are not safe if the U.S. is attacked anywhere. Will there be mistakes? Yes. Will Iraq prosper if insurgents are defeated and democratic capitalism is allowed to flourish? Yes. As President Bush says, "Democracies do not attack each other." A stable Iraq will benefit the entire Middle East. Unfortunately, war, like race relations, is just another one of those issues that is probably beyond our human capability to solve. Thus, we are left to do the best we can. Hitler had to be fought. No doubt about it. Yet war is environmentally destructive by its very nature.
We are probably as hypocritical as many politicians on the issue of war. However, we reject the notion of supporting the troops but opposing the war. That is disingenuous. If you oppose the war then oppose our men and women fighting there. Straddling the fence is a spineless cop out. Yet from a purely environmental standpoint, war is environmentally damaging. We must do everything we can to prevent it because it is insanity. But just as we were pulled into the insanity of World War II, we prevailed in Germany and Japan and assisted them after the war. We believe the U.S. has the best intentions for the Iraqi people and will do everything in our power to assist them in achieving peace and prosperity. Hopefully, the end result will be a highly efficient and sustanable environment. War, like disease and death, is from the Devil. We simply have to do the best we can while living in his world. We wish President Bush good luck as he does the best that he humanly can to address terrorism.
AAEA is an environmental organization founded in 1985 that is dedicated to protecting the environment, enhancing human, animal and plant ecologies, promoting the efficient use of natural resources, increasing African American participation in the environmental movement and promoting ownership of energy infrastructure and resources. We resolve environmental problems through the application of practical environmental solutions.

The latest Sorcerer's Apprentice trailer is loaded with new footage and serves as a good character primer for those unfamiliar with the movie. The action-packed trailer even manages to squeeze in some humor and a nice homage to the Fantasia short that inspired it.
The trailer begins with Master Sorcerer Balthazar Blake (Nicolas Cage) explaining to unassuming college student Dave Stutler (Jay Baruchel) why he has been chosen to be his apprentice and then briefly sums up the plot by revealing the threat of the evil sorcerer Maxim Horvath (Alfred Molina). It also introduces Blake's lost love, Veronica (Monica Bellucci), Dave's girlfriend, Becky (Teresa Palmer), the Chris Angel-esque magician Drake (Toby Kebbell), and the evil wizard Sun Lok (Gregory Woo).
The Sorcerer's Apprentice was produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and directed by Jon Turteltaub.
