Bodywork and Prepping for Paint - Under The SurfaceWritten by on September 1, 2011 Before paint, you gotta get it straight
Paint and upholstery—probably the only two jobs most homebuilders farm out to professionals. However, if you're capable of fabricating a chassis, forming panels, and making bodywork repairs, there's no reason why you shouldn't be able to master bodywork and paint. Sure, you'll need a few extra tools, such as a DA sander, spray gun, and sanding blocks, but most well-equipped home shops will already have a compressor.
One of the biggest stumbling blocks to date has been just where to source the materials required, and how to use them. Paint is complicated, right? Mixing ratios vary, drying times are dependent on temperature, spray guns are mysterious contraptions, and paint supply houses are few and far between. Well, you'll have to practice with the gun, but Summit Racing recently solved the rest of those problems with their Paint and Auto Refinish System. While they sell other brands, Summit's system includes topcoat paints, activators, clearcoats, primers, and paint reducers, all with the same mixing ratio, and at a significantly more affordable price than comparable brands.
However, before you get to apply any paint, there's the not-so-small matter of bodywork. You know, the dusty, smelly job of sanding and filling, smoothing the sheetmetal or 'glass until it's good enough for a coat or three of primer. Here we'll show you how to do just that, following it up with the primer and paint steps.
I'd been semi-planning to paint my 1946 roadster pickup for a while, gradually tackling the bodywork panel by panel when time allowed, so this seemed like the perfect opportunity to test the Summit product, and actually get my truck in color once and for all. The cowl, one door, and rear of the cab have been finished for about six years, primed in high-build 2K primer under the "aged" paintjob the truck wore to match the old, original paint front fenders, but if I'd realized just how beat up those fenders were before I started work on them, I'd have sourced a better pair. I probably have two days work invested in each one just to get them into shape, and each is now almost entirely covered with a skim coat of filler.
Summit Racing doesn't just sell paint, but everything required to tackle bodywork, so I ordered body filler, polyester putty, a paint starter kit (comprising masking paper and tape, mixing cups, paint sticks, gun filters, tack rags, and strainer) as well as a new spray mask and suit. Man, it was great not to have to trek to a paint store but just wait for the boxes to show up on my doorstep!
Before I continue, I should stress two things. One, I used to be a bodyman and subsequently a body shop owner before my career change to a journo; and two, everyone has different ways of doing things. The following is the way I've done bodywork for almost 30 years, and it's always worked for me. So while it may not be the way everyone does things, when tackling a full paintjob, I like to have the whole body in bare metal. While this may not be necessary on a modern car with good paint, it makes sense with the 60-plus-year-old sheetmetal I'm dealing with here, as you can never tell what lies under that old paint, or even if that paint will hold up under new paint. The quality of any paint job is dependent on the preparation, so why spend good money on materials, not knowing if the foundation is any good? So … the first order of business was to strip the old paint from the fenders and hood. Sandblasting is always a good way to do this, though it can become expensive, and personally I've had too many panels warped and ruined by over-zealous blasters. If you have a good one, stick with them! You could sand the paint using a DA sander, but I quickly found the old paint on my fenders clogged sanding discs (and even softpad grinding discs) and the 10 or so coats of different colors on my hood was taking too long to sand off, so I broke out my heat gun and multi-purpose electric tool from Harbor Freight and scraped the paint off these panels. If you go this route, just take care not to overheat and warp the sheetmetal. With the old paint removed down to the original primer, I then used the DA sander with 40-grit discs to get down to the metal. Again, modern opinions will probably suggest 80-grit, but I like to have a good key for any body filler, which 40-grit provides.
Now we're ready for filler. Or at least we are once the panels have been blown clean with an air gun and wiped over. On opening the tin of filler, you'll probably see a honey-like resin on top of the filler. This just means the components have separated during storage, so stir the filler with a paint mixing stick until it achieves consistency throughout. You may also find the filler is thicker at the bottom of the tin at first. While cardboard is often used for mixing filler, it absorbs some of the resin, so use a plastic mixing board. I always fill onto bare metal, never over paint, again as you're relying on the paint's adhesion to hold the filler, plus you may get shrink marks around the filler showing through the final topcoat. Modern primers are, however, much improved over their predecessors, and many bodymen will apply filler over these primers, although I'll admit I did this on one of the doors, as I had applied the primer and knew what was underneath it. I'll be interested to check for shrinkage marks down the road.
The captions show how to mix the filler, but when applying it, try to keep it smooth with long pulls of the spreader if you are covering a large area, such as the top of a front fender with many subtle waves in the sheetmetal. You're aiming for a thin spread of filler, so ensure any large dents are repaired beforehand. The smoother you spread it, the less work you'll have sanding most of it off. And sand most of it off you will. I like to use 40-grit paper on a DA sander to "knock down" the filler to a level where I can take over with 80 grit on a block, and complete the job by hand. This takes practice, especially on curved panels. Longbed air sanders are available, but I'm used to using a DA. If you find you need to add filler in some areas after sanding, re-apply a spread over the whole area, not just the low section, as it'll make it way easier to block it flat than trying to block an area of fresh filler in the middle of already sanded filler, as you'll always end up sanding the new and the old.
Remember practice makes perfect, and this is a skill like any other, despite body filler's reputation as a cure-all for dents and rust. Always make sure it is used over good, clean solid metal (or 'glass) and get the sheetmetal as straight as possible before applying the filler, which should never be more than 1/8-inch thick.

The 40-grit discs on the DA made light work of removing the old primer and taking the hood and fenders back to bare metal.Place no more filler than you'll need on a mixing board and add the appropriate amount of hardener. Too much and it'll harden too quickly, not enough and it'll never harden. It'll also harden quicker at higher temperatures.Using a filler spreader, mix the hardener into the filler, until it's a uniform color, then remove any unmixed filler from the spreader. There'll always be some! A clean rag is good for this.I deliberately mixed this batch quickly to illustrate what can happen. The arrows indicate small air pockets in the filler, which will be transferred to the panel being worked on, and will come back to haunt you later. Some are unavoidable, but take your time mixing the filler to avoid this as much as possible.Though it takes some practice, I often use a DA sander with 40-grit, then 80-grit paper, to knock down the filler.Once the filler is roughed out, and especially on flat panels, it's time to switch to a sanding block. I've had these for years, and love them.OK, so it'll take a little practice, but applying the filler as smoothly as possible, and covering the entire area you want to fill is what you should aim for. It'll cut down on sanding time too.The longer two blocks each have three steel rods along their length. With the rods in place they're rigid, yet pull the rods out and you can bend the blocks in half. They're great for sanding curved panels.
Ninety percent of a bodyline can be done by eye, especially when the steel underneath can be used as a guide. I sanded the filler with 40 grit, then 80 grit, then applied a heavy coat of matte black from an aerosol can to use as a guide. Here I'm using 150-grit paper to fine-tune the lower part of the bodyline.When sanding with a block, work at 30-45 degrees to the direction of the block. The arrows indicate how this curved surface was sanded in two directions. This prevents the edges of the block creating small grooves in the filler surface.Again using 150 grit on a block, I'm tackling the upper section. Finally I moved to the bodyline itself, though it transpired this needed more filler.Here's one front fender after a couple hours of work. Bodylines are notoriously difficult to fill and keep straight, but almost all old cars have them, so here's the way I tackle them. It's worked for me for nearly 30 years.Two parallel lines of masking tape were used, with the filler applied between, then the tape removed before the filler hardened. Once cured, the filler was carefully rubbed down, then the lower edge of the bodyline radiused by wrapping 150-grit paper over the sharp crease and dragging it along the length of the fender.Obviously mocked up after the lower section was sanded, and after I'd added more filler above the line, this illustrates how I apply the filler to the bodyline in the first place. I cut a section from an old spreader to mimic the shape I'm trying to replicate, then used that to spread the filler.One fender done, one to go. With the exception of the area on the bodyline just above the wheel arch, this is really only a skim coat, as evidenced by the number of patches of steel visible. If the filler is more than 1/8-inch thick, the panel should be bodyworked more before the filler is applied.It may seem strange to use a tack rag before primer, but the less debris on the surface, the better chance the primer has to "stick" to the metal and filler, just as with the topcoats.

|Minnie Rodriguez joins Baby Bear Hugs staff
|Written by Chris Lee
Fun loving and outgoing Minnie Rodriguez has been hired as the new bilingual home visitor for Baby Bear Hugs in Phillips County.
Baby Bear Hugs is a 501 (c)3 non-profit organization that provides expectant, new and seasoned parents with support and education about their new babies and children up to age 3. Services are provided through personal in-home visits or group support.
Baby Bear Hugs also provides connections to community support systems. Eight counties in northeast Colorado have a Baby Bear Hugs office. In addition to Phillips County, there are offices in Elbert, Lincoln, Logan, Morgan, Sedgwick, Washington and Yuma counties.
Baby Bear Hugs began in Yuma County. In Phillips, it was originally called Baby's First Steps.
In addition to home visitations, the program conducts ages and stages screening, healthy living, nurturing parenting classes and nurse visits.
Coordinator Pam Gibbs said in any given month they visit around 30 families. Visits are not based on income and anyone is invited to take advantage of the services at Baby Bear Hugs.
Minnie Rodriguez recently joined the staff at Baby Bear Hugs in Phillips County as a bilingual home visitor. She is pictured at the office next to the new logo for the program.
The program began when a teen mom had become pregnant and was sort of shunned by the community. Some women found out about it and came together to help the young mom get through her pregnancy. It sort of grew from there.
Rodriguez said the organization has been after her for some time now and she figured it was about time to hop on board. She joins Kathy Cook as a home visitor.
Rodriguez will be working with the Hispanic community. "I'm excited about that," she noted.
Rodriguez has been deeply involved within the community. She is a contact for Foodbank of the Rockies and Phillips County Sheriff's Office as a translator. She is also very active with First Baptist Church where she is a Sunday School teacher.
Rodriguez grew up in the area as part of a migrant family. She said her bilingual trait has helped numerous people in the area.
"I know a lot of people, a lot of people know me," Rodriguez added. "I think Baby Bear Hugs is really neat."
Rodriquez said she loves people and enjoys finding out about their lives, so this position is perfect for her.
"I think to work for Baby Bear Hugs you have to have a passion for families," Gibbs said, and she knows that Rodriguez is a perfect fit. "I'm really excited."
Rodriguez has already done a couple home visits and has absolutely enjoyed it. She is chomping at the bit to continue helping people through her visits.
Rodriguez is married to Domie and she has sons Jonathan and Nathan and daughter Janel who lives in Lamar.
Gibbs said the program in Phillips County has a very strong support group in the form of an advisory committee. Members include Linda Jelden, Debbie Brandt, Pat Hale, Joe Kinnie, Susan Roll Walters, Cecilia Marquez and Lori Lundgren.

Grizzlies continued their dominance in Big Sky play with an 81-68 victory over
the Portland State Vikings at the Stott Center.
Cherry also collected team-highs in rebounds (seven) and assists (six) for
Montana (15-4, 11-0 Big Sky) which has won 11 straight. Mathias Ward added 15
points, Keron Deshields chipped in 13 off the bench and Spencer Coleman tacked
on 12 as well for the Grizzlies.
Aaron Moore had 14 points and Gary Winston and Martin Whitmore each added 10
for Portland State (5-13, 3-8). Whitmore was also a rebound shy of a
double-double for the Vikings who have lost five straight.
Montana led 39-31 at halftime after shooting 48.3 percent from the field
while making good on 5-of-9 from beyond the arc. Portland State shot just 37.9
percent in the opening period.
Although the Vikings improved to 57.7 percent shooting in the final 20 minutes
it was no match for the Grizzlies who hit 66.7 percent of their shots after
Montana outscored Portland State 17-4 on points off turnovers to overcome a
32-23 deficit on the boards.

NEW ORLEANS (NBC) -- The powers-that-be are blaming an "abnormality" for the half-hour blackout that delayed the Super Bowl. But on Twitter, at least, they have another term for it: The Curse.
Legend has it that New Orleans' Superdome is vexed by the angry spirits of the poor souls once buried beneath the stadium, their remains uprooted by backhoes during construction in the early 1970s.
The Superdome became, of course, the site of many losses for the New Orleans Saints and later the misery of thousands of Hurricane Katrina refugees who sheltered there.
Perhaps it's only natural -- well, supernatural, anyway -- to suggest that the alleged curse was working again Sunday night in a city that loves its superstitions as much as its football.
Voodoo priestess Miriam Chamani was once enlisted by a radio station to bless the Superdome, using a live python and a pumpkin, before the Saints faced off against the Cleveland Browns in 1999.
So what does she think zapped the juice in the third quarter as the Baltimore Raves sacked the San Francisco 49ers' quarterback Colin Kaepernick?
"I think any time you put that much tension on the circuits in a short time, something is bound to happen," Chamani said Monday.
Mystical tension? Beyond-the-grave type tension?
"No, just a lot of people using power," she said.
But Superdome officials said the stadium was actually using less electricity than it does during a typical Saints game. None of its equipment, all upgraded since Katrina in 2005, failed.
And you can forget the Curse of Beyonce because her half-time show used its own generators.
The investigation is ongoing. For now, all officials will say is an "abnormality" at the point where power company Entergy's feed intersects with the arena's equipment prompted a circuit breaker to make the Superdome go dark.
Bob Remy, the statistician for the Saints, who was at the game, agrees the outage was "strange."
"But it's hard to believe it's a curse," he said, pointing to the Saints' 2009 Super Bowl championships and some winning seasons by the New Orleans Hornets, who play in an arena adjacent to the Superdome.
The stadium is built over the old Girod Cemetery, where 30,000 people, including many victims of cholera and yellow fever epidemics, were buried.
The dilapidated graveyard was deconsecrated in 1957 and many of the remains relocated. But when Superdome construction began, many more were dug up, according to the New Orleans Times-Picayune.
The Saints opened their first season there with a 2-12 record and did not have a winning season until 1987 -- and the idea of a curse was born.
"I guess if you're a true believer in voodoo you might might take it seriously," said Tulane University professor Lawrence Powell, a local historian. "Most people talk about it tongue-in-cheek. At least in the circles I move in."
But the Saints themselves bought into the curse enough to hire a voodoo priestess, Ava Kay Jones, to perform rituals before two games in 2000 and 2001. Her record: 1-1.
Chamani's own ritual resulted in a Browns victory, she said, casting further doubt on the idea of a curse.
Maybe she isn't the best expert to consult, though. After all, she admits that when the lights went out Sunday, her own lights were already out.
"I went into a snooze," she said.
"I guess sometimes life is a curse itself."

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Michigan Sen. Carl Levin says his regional office in Saginaw received a suspicious letter and that authorities have been alerted.
Levin says in a statement that an aide received the letter Wednesday, but did not open it. Authorities are now investigating. The Democratic lawmaker says he and his staff do not know if the mail presented a threat.
Separately, the FBI says a substance in letters sent to President Barack Obama and Mississippi Sen. Roger Wicker have preliminarily tested positive for ricin, a potentially fatal poison.
The FBI says those letters are related and are both postmarked out of Memphis, Tenn., dated April 8. Both letters were intercepted at off-site mail facilities.

A man's world
The sexual economics of college campuses empower men at the expense of women
"A man's world" Continued...
Ten years of surveys with long names-the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, the National Survey of Family Growth, the College Women's Survey, and the College Social Life Survey-show that sex among young Americans is rampant, but it's not making many of them happy.
Two sociologists, Mark Regnerus (University of Texas) and Jeremy Uecker (University of North Carolina), crunched the numbers for their 2011 book Premarital Sex in America (Oxford University Press). They found that three-fourths of 18- to 23-year-old women are in dating relationships of some kind-and 94 percent of those are sexually involved.
Love and marriage no longer go together like a horse and carriage, but promiscuity and depression often do, especially among women. Women who have had multiple sex partners have poorer emotional health than women who report having had zero or one, and "women who report the greatest number of partners display the clearest symptoms of depression."
While it's simplistic to say more partners, more pain, a 2005 study found that "sexual behavior patterns came before depression, not after them. Girls with multiple sex partners were about 11 times more likely than virgins to report elevated depression symptoms." A majority of women who engaged in "hooking up"-casual sex-said they felt "disrespected" afterward. (One-fourth of men said they felt that way.)
Regnerus and Uecker found that men are typically in control of when dating begins, but women are in control of when sex begins-and it often begins earlier than they want. That's because "women are increasingly competing with each other for the affections of increasingly rare high-quality men who are willing to commit. When women compete for men, men win: the price of sex goes down."
The two authors bulwark this marketplace theory with stats. In 1947, for every 100 female college students, 245 male students were on campus. Today, for every 100 women, only 74 male students are on campus. Today, the likelihood that unmarried women will have had sex during the past month is 60 percent higher on a campus where seven out of 10 students are female than on one where only three out of 10 are female.
Is the sex-ratio theory only a theory? Regnerus and Uecker found that women on campuses where they make up a higher proportion of the student population "express more negative appraisals of men on campus . . . hold more negative views of their relationships . . . go on fewer dates . . . receive less (in the way of relationship commitment) in exchange for sex."
In short, good news for women's career opportunities is bad news for their marriage opportunities. A typical young woman, the authors say, is looking for "love, attention . . . affection, commitment, and feelings of emotional union": When men have less reason to make commitments, women go further to maintain a relationship than they otherwise would, so "an oversupply of women leads to a sexually permissive culture."
Regnerus and Uecker go beyond the data to critique the action of pandering college leaders. They note that "stories commonly used to socialize students about campus sex are skewed, creating a more positive spin on hooking up that is out of step with the reality of many actual student experiences. In a consumer-driven marketplace like the university, adults give students what they think they must want. What results, however, is reinforcement of the message that sex is . . . what counts."
What can be done? We can't depend on professors and administrators. Nearly two decades ago I made my one attempt to turn back the waves at the University of Texas by asking colleagues in the Faculty Senate to critique an administration plan to put condom machines in freshman dormitories. I got nowhere. I even offered the pragmatic stat that Regnerus and Uecker note: "Fifteen percent of couples practicing typical condom use will become pregnant within a year." I got nowhere.
A tightly held faith in God makes a difference. The authors found that those most likely not to be having sex are "more religious, especially in terms of how central it is to their identity." Apart from belief that they are called to marriage and fatherhood, men are unlikely to marry in their 20s, or perhaps at all: "Their decision to delay makes sense from a sexual economics perspective: they can access sex relatively easily outside of marriage, they can obtain many of the perceived benefits of marriage by cohabiting rather than marrying, they encounter few social pressures from peers to marry. . . ."
The effect on women is even greater: "The losers in this discounted sexual marketplace are clearly women . . . who want to remain virgins until marriage (and yet, who wish to get married). They are increasingly put in a bind in their pursuit of a lifelong relationship, constrained by how the sexual decisions of their peers alter market expectations about the price of sex. Many feel pressure to 'take what they can get' and commence a sexual relationship with a marriage-minded man before marriage, or risk the real possibility that in holding out for a chaste man to marry they will wait a lot longer than they would like to, watching the pool of available, ideal men shrink before their eyes."
Or, have faith that God will provide.

Nice map.
One possible comment, I think that a 'mosque' requires towers at the corners ... so add towers or rename to a more neutral term like 'temple'.
[EDIT] OK, did a little fact checking. Towers are common but optional and tradition only requires one (for calling to prayer) ... so carry on.

Just an hour away...
Ha! Getting a jumpstart are we?
He wants the credits...
Should be a good one tonight, last weeks was great. I like that Ben is becoming one of the good guys now.

I am anxious!

It's not on until 10:00 here!
Oh man, can't wait!
I really hope they meet Jacob(Jack and Claire's dad... i think). I hope Desmond is in this episode, he's gonna get caught in the middle of the Ben vs. Charles and Penny Widmore thing, and itll get interesting.

Ok, so you're right...I want the credit(s). To be fair, I have started it the last few weeks after the episode aired. And plus, I am really excited about this one...5 minutes to go!
A lot of times after really good episodes (like last week's), they follow it up with a so-so episode the following week. I hope that's different this time around...
sssshhh its on
Hooray for Metaphors!
Wow... Kate and Jack...
have you ever got caught outside In a strong rainfall? Yes or NO. If it"s yes, then you might half felt the pane of hard(tought) rain on you head. If it hurt"s then it"s tough. Yes or no. Okay I'm right and you know it.
So alothough you attempt"ed to say you didn"t understnad, now you do. Fair enough?
I honestly was a bit disappointed with this one. Although it raised a few questions, it was kind of a big tease (more than normal). Charlotte speaking Korean is intriguing, but makes no sense at this point. I guess we know how Sun gets off of the island, sort of.
I thought it was great.
As for Charlotte speaking Korean, she is an anthropologist so that at least partially explains that I think.
When Miles said, "They're not my buddies, man," did anybody else think "I'm not your man, fwend"?
Sorry, mixing my shows.
Anyway, very interesting stuff. Every flash forward we've seen this year seems to take place before the events we saw in the Season 3 finale. Except for maybe the Sayid/Ben flash forwards...we don't really have a common reference to be able to tell when those are happening in relation to the Jack/Kate/Aaron/Hurley/Sun flash forwards.
Anyway, my point is, I'm beginning to wonder again who was in the casket in the Season 3 finale. Maybe Hurley?
What's the promise Kate made Sawyer? Who was she talking to on the phone? How is Jack & Claire's Dad on the island if he's supposed to be dead? Is Jack crazy like Hurley, or are they both being visited by something from the island?
I like plot lines more with Locke and Sawyer, so that is part of my disappointment. I would rather know where Ben and Locke are, and will probably find out next week. I think I am also disappointed at watching them on TV. On ABC streaming the commercials don't break it up so much.
Here is a question: does Jack know he is Aaron's uncle; i.e. is that why he said to Kate that she wasn't even related to him?

I disagreed with CW's margin of victory being under 10 points vs. the TCU today. In fact, I had them being
blown out by more than 20! I was wrong there.
Without question this is a different Texas Tech team than a year ago. No more Coach Gillispie, and no more gassed Texas Tech players even before tip-off. (lol) Texas Tech I believe has a faster pace offense this year and are better--But not much better. I think CW's projection for the TCU game better suits this one...

TT has some decent players. Their freshman pg is pretty good, Crockett can be a tough match-up, and I like their big center. If we play like we did today we will lose.
88-65 Clones are on fire all first half
'Any fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius-and a lot of courage-to move in the opposite direction.'
I will go with ISU by 5.
Tech's rotation goes 10 or 11 deep. They are not a very good shooting team from outside. They got blown out by Okie State today, so they will be anxious to make up for that. Still, I can't pick a team that lost to McNeese State to beat ISU.....in any year.
-Be kind. That is something you will never regret. You will never say to yourself when you are old "I wish I was not good to that person".
I predicted we'd beat TCU 92-39 (I think).
I was way off. So, I'll temper expectations on this one.
ISU wins in a dog fight 83-54.
When Prepared, Fear No One.
I like this match up even more now that they canned their coach. Anyone think Texas will be doing the same after this season?

They got blown out by OU on wednesday, by kansas before that, and by baylor before that. Getting blown out doesnt seem like its helping them in their following games.
It'll be another close one...just because our team plays down to crappy teams

Iowa City, IA (Sports Network) - Alonzo Whaley picked off Iowa quarterback
James Vandenberg late in a defensive battle, and the 17th-ranked Nebraska
Cornhuskers clinched a berth in the Big Ten championship game with a 13-7
victory over the Hawkeyes.
Down at halftime, Rex Burkhead put Nebraska (10-2, 7-1 Big Ten) ahead with a
3-yard touchdown in the third quarter. The Cornhuskers' defense did the rest
of the work, smothering Vandenberg and the Iowa offense.
The Hawkeyes' defense did manage to limit Taylor Martinez to 63 yards on 8-
of-14 passing and 36 yards on the ground.
Nebraska, which has won six in a row, edged Michigan for the Legends Division
crown and will face Wisconsin in the conference title game Dec. 1 in
Iowa (4-8, 2-6) ended its season on a six-game slide.

The mathematics behind the Complicite production
Mathematics takes to the stage with A disappearing number, a work by Complicite, inspired by the mathematical collaboration of Hardy and Ramanujan. Plus spoke to Victoria Gould and Marcus du Sautoy about the mathematical and creative process of developing this show.
This podcast accompanies the career podcast with Victoria and the article A disappearing number from issue 49 of Plus.

What would you like to know about your Universe?
This poll is now closed. The most popular question was "What happened before the Big Bang?". We will publish an article and a podcast with an answer in the middle of March. At the same time we will launch our next Universe poll, so watch this space.
Do you ever look at the night sky and wonder where it all comes from, where it is going and what we are doing right in the middle of it? Do you wonder if there's life out there, or why the sky isn't bright with all the stars that are in it?
If yes, then now's your chance to put your questions to world-leading astronomers and cosmologists, including Astronomer Royal Martin Rees and author and cosmologist John D Barrow. From now until the end of the year Plus will hold regular online polls to find out what your most burning questions are, and do our best to find an answer with the help of experts in the field. You'll be able to read and hear what they have to say in Plus articles and podcasts, and there'll be plenty of room for discussion on our blog.
Our first online poll — one of a total of seven — opens today. It will remain open for a month and we'll publish the answer to the question that proves most popular in the middle of March. This is your chance to get involved with the most fascinating science of them all (except for maths of course), and it's our contribution to the International Year of Astronomy 2009. So get voting now, and if your question isn't on the list above, send it to us in a comment on this blog, and we'll include it in the next poll. Happy voting!

What can we learn from the British successes at the 2008 Olympics? Over the last few years in the lead-up to the London 2012 Games, there has been a massive influx of money and enthusiasm in the UK into Olympic sports and infrastructure. Other countries have shown similar improvement ahead of hosting the game. So is Britain's triumph an early result of the home advantage? And how will Britain perform in 2012?

2009 is the year of astronomy and Plus will be part of the celebrations!
In May 1609 Galileo Galilei received reports of "a spyglass by means of which visible objects, though very distant from the eye of the observer, were distinctly seen as if nearby." Intrigued, he set about building his own version of this curious device, and he succeeded: by the end of the year he had discovered mountains on the Moon, the moons of Jupiter and the make-up of the Milky Way. His observations revolutionised our understanding of the Universe, and his use of the telescope marked the birth of modern astronomy — which celebrates its 400th anniversary this year.

Darwin and the web of life
One hundred and fifty years after the publication of On the origin of species, it seems that one of Darwin's most fruitful ideas, that the course of evolution can be represented in the shape of a tree, is in need of updating. Evidence is mounting that what we should be thinking of instead is a web.
Reconstructing relationships between species from genetic information is a mathematical exercise, as well as a biological one. Darwin's tree of life, as a mathematical object, is an example of a graph, a collection of nodes connected by edges, with the special property that there's only one route between any two nodes. There are no circuits in the graph because it was assumed that genes can only be transferred between parents and offspring. But as Plus reported last year, there is evidence that genes can also be transferred between species horizontally, for example through hybridisation or swapping of genetic material between unrelated species. An article in this week's New Scientists brings together many strands of evidence for horizontal gene transfer. According to the article, the evidence doesn't just concern strange unicellular beasts, but also humans and other mammals: it is estimated that "40 to 50 per cent of the human genome consists of DNA imported horizontally by viruses"!
As a result, many scientists now think that a more general form of graph, a network, is what is needed to describe life. Given the potential complexity of networks, genetics may soon be in desperate need of mathematicians.

Nothing can interfere with your day the way raw, cracked and damaged skin on the hands can. When your hands are irritated or extremely dry, every move that you make can be uncomfortable or even downright excruciating. To help repair the skin on your hands and get back to enjoying life again, you need a hand cream that promotes healing, protects the skin and replenishes lost moisture, but determining which of the many products on the market can deliver results can be a challenge. When you choose Boots No7 Hand Creams, you'll receive the benefit of formulas that have been used by women for more than 75 years to successfully soothe and heal the hands.
In addition to having a rich history, the Boots No7 Hand Creams are backed by intensive clinical research. The Boots No7 Hand Creams have been tested by more than 200,000 people to ensure that they are maximally effective and gentle on the skin. Evaluated by dermatologists and hypoallergenic, the Boots No7 Hand Creams are the smart choice for those with irritated, dry or aging hands.
Silky, soft and youthful hands are within reach when you use the rigorously tested formulas in the Boots No7 Hand Creams collection.
The Boots No7 Protect and Perfect Hand Cream SPF 15 is a multipurpose hand cream that addresses nearly all of the skin concerns that can develop on the hands. The rich formula is designed for quick absorption, so it does not leave the hands slippery or greasy. The cream is hypoallergenic and dermatologist tested to ensure its safety.
The Boots No7 Protect and Perfect Hand Cream SPF 15 contains white lupine extract, which is rich in key peptides that can help strengthen the protein network that supports the skin. Thanks to the actions of the extract, the hand cream is able to diminish the appearance in signs of aging. In fact, clinical trials show that the hand cream begins to decrease the depth of wrinkles within just 2 weeks of use. Within just one month, the formula also begins to fade skin discoloration.
While the Boots No7 Protect and Perfect Hand Cream SPF 15 fights signs of aging and hyperpigmentation, the hand cream helps restore moisture to the skin. Shea butter is used to lubricate the outer layers of skin, while glycerin draws moisture from the air into the middle layers of tissue to ensure that the skin is fully hydrated. The formula also provides SPF 15 sun protection to limit UV damage which can lead to further signs of aging.

(WUSA9) -- Toy Story fans rejoice!
A couple has dedicated the month of November to convincing their children that their plastic dinosaurs come to life while they sleep.
Refe and Susan Tuma are calling it Dinovember.
The couple has a Facebook page with dozens of photos of toy dinosaurs posed in different scenarios.
The couple say, "Last year our one-year-old son wasn't sleeping well, and my wife, Susan, was feeling a bit guilty that we hadn't had time or energy to play with our two older girls. So she pranked them by setting up the dinosaurs on the bathroom sink as if they were brushing their teeth. When our four-year-old ran into the room yelling, "The dinosaurs came alive last night and were brushing their teeth!" we knew we had to go with it. It was adorable."
Click through these photos to see the mischief that the dinosaurs are making!
If you want to join in the fun, you can post your photos on the Dinovember Facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/dinovember

Butler is one of the club's community leaders and works extensively with the Bishop Sullivan Center, one of the largest providers of emergency assistance in the Kansas City area. The 24-year-old just completed the third season of his Hit-It-A-Ton campaign, a matching program in which fans and area companies can join the Butlers in donating food to the center for each of his home runs.

Kansas City Royals Celebrity Golf Tournament
Are baseball players really that good at golf?
Well, your chance to find out is on Thursday, Aug. 7 when Royals Charities host the Kansas City Royals Celebrity Golf Tournament and match baseball players up with golf-enthusiast Royals fans!
The first-time tournament, which will be held at The National Golf Club of Kansas City in Parkville, Mo., benefits the Special Olympics of Greater Kansas City – an organization the Royals love working with each season.
It's an 18-hole tournament that begins with a 7:30 a.m. registration, breakfast, silent auction and driving range accessibility followed by a 9 a.m. shotgun start. KC Masterpiece and Baja 600 will serve lunch on the course for participants. Then, following a day of golf, Royals Charities is throwing a reception with plenty of appetizers and drinks as well as an awards program and additional silent auction. All in all, a pretty nice day hitting the links with the Royals!
Like all good things, there are a limited number of spots for the event available…so you need to reserve your spot now. You can purchase a foursome golf package – four golfers plus a Royals celebrity – for $1,500. If you'd rather not play with your normal golf buddies, buy a single-golfer package for $400 and we'll match you up on the course. Or…if you don't want to pick up a golf club at all, you can "Ride with a Royal" for the day for $1,000.
Check out the details (as well as sponsorship opportunities) and/or reserve your spot to play here…and then hit the driving range so you can tee off with the Royals on Aug. 7!
1 Comment
As I am a baseball lover, I try to watch games whenever I have time. But, for me, and without doubt for thousands of other fans all over the world, I love the Kansas City Royals and I do my best to attend their games though we notice that Royals tickets got a little pricy and hard to be found especially when we talk about some hot games. The Kansas City Royals tickets are a little pricy but this should not prevent us from fallowing our favourite team and support it, and this is what means to be a good fan.

December spot truckload freight movement up 55 percent, says TransCore
January 28, 2011
As was the case for most of 2010, annual improvements in spot market performance were prevalent. This was evidenced by data released by the TransCore North American Freight Index this week.
According to TransCore data, spot truckload freight movement in the United States and Canada was up 55 percent in December 2010 compared to December 2009, with spot market freight volumes in the third and fourth quarters of the year representing the highest levels since 2005, which TransCore said was a peak year for spot market volume.
The 55 percent gain was significant, but it is lower than annual gains in previous months, including a 69 percent hike in October and 75 and 65 percent gains in August and September, respectively. November was up 72 percent year-over-year.
But while freight volumes show some modest signs of improvement, many industry stakeholders have said that would drive down annual spot market comparisons, which has occurred in recent months.
Even though annual spot market freight volumes are modestly trending down, trucking capacity remains tight, especially on the truckload side.
A freight transportation expert told LM that while 2010 levels look good on an annual basis compared to a tough 2009, the sequential trending down in spot market freight availability—and the American Trucking Associations and Cass Information Systems monthly freight indices to a certain extent—are to be expected. And while freight volumes are not rising at the level they did a year ago, the expert said volumes, instead, appear to be settling in.
What's more, a research note from Robert W. Baird analyst Jon Langenfeld observed that modest fourth quarter industry demand growth reflected a modest fourth quarter supply-demand dynamic despite modest fourth quarter demand conditions.
"4Q10 industry demand growth reflected a stable December and modestly better-than-seasonal November but a below-seasonal October," wrote Langenfeld. "Notably, while capacity tightness relaxed relative to spring 2010 on more modest demand, our Baird Spot Demand-to-Supply index remained relatively balanced throughout 4Q as depicted in the chart below. This phenomenon is a result of four years of below-replacement new truck sales and carrier bankruptcies during the recent elongated freight recession beginning in 2006. As a result, a pickup in demand into spring should be accompanied by accelerating industry freight rates."

D.I.Y. Auto Bodywork - Body And Paint TipsWritten by on July 1, 2011 Contributors: Cole Quinnell, Jeff Lilly Don't Fear the Welder and Grinder. Here Are Some Tricks Everyone Can Do at Home To Make Their Hot Rods Cooler
Here's a secret: It only takes a few well-thought-out custom mods, tricks, and techniques to set your hot rod apart from the crowd. The factories have different priorities than you do when they build a car, leaving you with some panels that aren't as smooth as they could be and generally a lot more trim and badges than you want. If you own a welder and aren't afraid to use it, it's easier than you might think to turn your hot rod into a real smoothie. We recently had a '66 Chevelle straightened and painted by Tony and T.J. Grzelakowski at Advanced Body & Color in Imlay City, Michigan. In addition to top-level body restoration, the guys showed us four mini projects that will help the car stand out for the right reasons. We also turned to the pros at Jeff Lilly Restorations in San Antonio, Texas, for some tried-and-true techniques to make the bodywork and painting experience a better one.

Track & Field Set to Compete at Dr. Gregory Invitational
May 14, 2014
CHICAGO, Ill. – The men's and women's track and field teams will travel to Naperville, Ill., to participate in the Dr. Gregory Invitational Thursday and Friday, May 15-16. The two-day meet will act as the final qualifier meet for the 2014 NCAA Regional Meet.
Thursday's competition will commence at 12:15 p.m. CT., with the men's hammer throw, men's discus, women's hammer throw and women's discus. The 5,000-meter and 10,000-meter run will also take place during the first day of competition.
On Friday, events will commence at 2:00 p.m., with women's javelin first, followed by long jump, high jump, shot put and women's pole vault.
Running events will begin at 4:00 p.m. with the 110-meter and 100-meter hurdle preliminaries followed by the 400 relay, 1,500-meter, 400-meter, 100-meter, 800-meter runs, 400-meter hurdle, 200-meter run, 3,000-meter steeplechase and lastly the 1,600-meter relays.
"Tess has a very realistic shot of getting into the top 48 in the 10,000-meter at North Central on Thursday night. Right now she is 65th on the list and will need to cut about eight seconds off her mile pace to get into the meet at Arkansas the end of this month," said head coach Jim Knoedel. "I know she will give it her all so I expect to see a thrilling race as she goes head-to-head again with Samantha Hamilton from YSU."
Dr. Gregory will be the final chance for the Flames runners to qualify for the prestigious NCAA West Regional Meet.
"Richmond Richter is going to give it one last shot in the Triple Jump," said Knoedel. "His personal best is only three inches from the mark needed to get to Arkansas. Richmond has been injured during much of the indoor season but has the ability to join this elite group so we're hoping for the best."
Be sure to check back to UICFlames.com for results and recap of the UIC's track & field team's performance at the Dr. Gregory Invitational.

WASECA, Minn. - A murder suspect is dead following a high speed pursuit and rollover crash in southern Minnesota early Friday.
The State Patrol confirms that a pursuit started in Austin around 3 a.m., and wound through three counties. It ended around 4 a.m. when the driver, a 46-year-old man from Oakdale, was ejected after rolling his vehicle on Highway 13 south of Waseca.
He was not wearing a seatbelt.
The man who died is likely related to a homicide being investigated in Austin. A resident called 911 shortly around 3 a.m. after hearing yells for help from a home on the 500 block of 4th Street northwest in Austin. The caller reported seeing what appeared to be a body on the ground in front of the home, and a tall male leaving the scene.
An officer responding to the scene witnessed a red Saab speeding away from the vicinty of the murder. He then located the victim, who was deceased.
Approximately two blocks away an Austin Police Department officer witnessed a red Saab run a red light and began a pursuit, following the vehicle as it turned west out of town on County Road 46.
Minnesota State Troopers and Mower, Freeborn and Waseca County sheriff's deputies joined in the pursuit, which stretched for 50 miles and reached speeds of 130 miles per hour. Stop sticks were deployed around 4 a.m. on Highway 13 just north of Waseca and squads in pursuit backed off.
The driver of the red Saab lost control of the vehicle and it flipped into a field. The driver was ejected from the vehicle and died in the crash.
Five agencies, including three area sheriff's departments - Freeborn, Mower and Waseca - assisted the patrol in the pursuit.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Madison Bumgarner pitched two-hit ball over seven innings, Brandon Crawford drove in the go-ahead run with a double-play grounder after a key bunt stopped just fair along the third-base line and the San Francisco Giants beat the Detroit Tigers 2-0 on Thursday night to take a 2-0 World Series lead.
Bumgarner, who lost both his starts in the NL playoffs, struck out eight and walked two, and Santiago Casilla and Sergio Romo finished with perfect relief.
Hunter Pence led off the seventh with a single off Doug Fister, and reliever Drew Smyly walked Brandon Belt. Gregor Blanco's bunt stopped on the dirt up the third-base line, 3 to 4 inches fair. With the infield in at the corners, Crawford grounded to second baseman Omar Infante.
Pence added a sacrifice fly in the eighth off Octavio Dotel.

Bench, foul shooting helped send Herd past So. Miss
HUNTINGTON -- A few critical (and trend-bucking) factors in Marshall's 88-84 win Tuesday over former NCAA tournament at-large aspirant Southern Miss.
This has been a painful time for this team, which has seen leads turn into deficits and close games turn into runaways. For instance, Houston outscored the Herd 14-4 last weekend, and Alabama-Birmingham pulled away with a 14-1 stretch eight days ago.
In Conference USA games, the Herd is 4-10-1 in the final six minutes, 3-9-1 when you throw out two irrelevant results (Herd was already down 47-7 at Southern Miss entering the last six minutes, and led East Carolina 31-9).
Sure, you can attribute part of that to D.D. Scarver not starting. He can bury a string of 3-pointers at any time and closes games with his foul shooting - he is 21 of 22 in the final minute.
But you remove Scarver's 19 points from that mix and you still have 18 - more than the number in 16 games.
The big story is the breakout of freshman Tamron Manning, who handles the point to get DeAndre Kane a "rest." Kane still played 38 minutes, but was able to work many of those without worrying about steal-happy Southern Miss point guard Neil Watson.
Manning scored a career-high 12 points, 10 in a 1:39 stretch of the first half. It was no coincidence the Herd outscored the Golden Eagles 11-1 in that stretch.
His defense is improving, and he was effective out front in a zone.
"Hey, it's hard for people to score on him one-on-one," said teammate Elijah Pittman. "We get in a zone and he's got his hands up, there's not really much you can do."
Yes, it was, as the team sort of morphed between a 2-3 and 1-3-1. And though Southern Miss still shot 51.9 percent, it was much less than the 63.2 percent the Eagles shot in the 102-46 rout at Hattiesburg.
Eventually, Dwayne Davis started hitting 3-pointers from the corners and the Herd had to adjust again.
"We never started a game in it, but we started knowing we couldn't match them man-to-man," said MU coach Tom Herrion. "We were too big. The lineup forced us to start in the zone, and it was very effective. I thought it caught them a little off guard."
Believe it, the Herd has shot a higher percentage than its opponent four times in the last five games. Tuesday, MU sank 24 of 31 (77.4 percent) to the Eagles' 17 of 30 (56.7 percent).
Before the current streak, the Herd outshot C-USA foes just once and everybody else six times. And the team is crawling up the NCAA chart, rising from 345th and last to ... well, 344th after Sunday's action. But the new 59.2 percent mark could sneak MU up to about 340th, where Texas Christian resides.
The Herd is not getting out of the C-USA basement in the category. It would have to hit 98 in a row to reach the 64.2 percent held by No. 11 Central Florida.
A strange trip ended Wednesday for Southern Miss coach Donnie Tyndall. Maybe.
A Marshall fan tweeted that he saw the Southern Miss bus make a pit stop to B&E Menswear in Huntington to get the coach an emergency pair of slacks. Seems he ripped an inseam along the way.
Then Tyndall witnessed his team lose to a Marshall team the Eagles had mauled by 56 in January - a development that apparently distressed him so much he passed on the postgame press conference.
And finally, Hattiesburg American reporter Tim Doherty tweeted that the team was "snowed in" Wednesday morning, probably by a flight cancellation.

|Bremmer opens first hypnotherapy clinic in area
By Lauren Smith-Kuckkahn
The Holyoke Enterprise
People working to lose an extra 10 pounds, or trying to kick unhealthy habits like smoking, may be happy to hear that a new service is available in the area that can help with everything from curbing unwanted behaviors to enhancing positive ones.
The therapist is in town–the hypnotherapist, that is.
Venango, farm-owner Martin Bremmer, 43, opened the region's first hypnotherapy practice last month.
Owner and practitioner of Inner Life Hypnotherapy, Bremmer said that his transition from farming to hypnotherapy happened by degrees.
Married for nearly 20 years and a father of three, Bremmer and his mystery novelist wife, Patti, have operated a successful dog kennel during those 20 years.
"Hypnotherapy is a natural stepping stone in my life path, because I like to help people; it's an innate part of my character," Bremmer said. "I also have a big fondness for medical stuff. I'm a science person."
While in college, Bremmer worked for a cancer research lab in Denver, Colo., where he learned lab skills and was able to work in a scientific field. Later, he used his lab and medical skills while working in his own lab in the dog kennel.
He pursued his medical interests further when he took certification courses through Mid-Plains Community College in 2007 to become a nurse's aid and medication aid.
Bremmer went to Berkeley, Calif., to study at the ISHI School of Hypnosis, one of the top hypnosis schools, with an international reputation for excellence.
Currently certified by the National Guild of Hypnotists, Bremmer expects to become board-certified next year.
While the fields of science and hypnosis may seem to be irrelevant to each other at first glance, there is a lot of scientific research behind hypnosis now, Bremmer said.
Bremmer explained that hypnotherapy is an exercise in 'positive programming', a therapist-led state of deep relaxation during which the therapist and patient work on deep-rooted issues of the patient's choosing. The hypnotherapist assists a person in delving into his or her inner consciousness to make desired mental and behavioral changes.
"The human mind is one of the most powerful things in the universe, but one of the least understood mechanisms on our planet," Bremmer said.
Just as placebo studies have shown compelling evidence of a powerful mind and body connection, studies of hypnosis have shown that the mind, when properly persuaded, can be the key to wellness and pain management, he explained.
"There's really profound, documented evidence about the effects of hypnotizing people," Bremmer said. "The uses for hypnosis are countless because of the mind's ability to create a problem where problems didn't exist before."
Hypnotherapy can be used to address weight loss, pain relief, and addictive behaviors such as smoking, he said.
It can also be used to enhance skills like track, golf, and studying.
Hypnotherapy has a long history of development beginning in ancient Greece, and has been experimented with by notable figures such as Sigmund Freud. Charles and William Mayo, founders of the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., pioneered using hypnosis as a pain management technique on patients undergoing surgery.
Today thousands of doctors and dentists use hypnosis frequently in their practices, Bremmer said.
Despite the scientific basis of hypnotherapy, there are many people still skeptical of hypnosis as a means of therapy.
Bremmer said that much of this skepticism came from two things – the way that hypnosis is portrayed in movies and on television, and improper teaching of hypnosis methods to the practioners.
In the past, hypnosis was poorly understood. Many people were being taught ineffective methods, which led to ineffective practice, he said.
Hypnotism in entertainment also fuels skepticism about the validity of hypnosis as a tool in medicine. Bremmer explained that stage hypnotists demonstrate the extremes of hypnosis for entertainment, while a hypnotherapist uses hypnosis for genuine, restorative therapy and pain management.
Bremmer said that hypnosis does not control people or coerce them to do things against their will. Instead, hypnosis creates an environment in which clients can recalibrate their subconscious thinking to eliminate problems and issues, he said.
"The hypnosis client is always in control of what they want to believe," he said.
Each person responds to hypnosis differently, and the number of sessions required to reach a goal depends on the abilities and mind-state of each client, he explained.
A session typically lasts 60 to 75 minutes, during which Bremmer uses a combination of techniques to guide his client into a deep state of relaxation and focus. Once the client is in hypnosis, Bremmer works with him or her on goals specified at the beginning of the session.
According to Bremmer, the client is aware of everything that happens during the session, and remembers the entire session afterwards.
Bremmer can work with individuals or groups. He offers on-site sessions in offices, schools and churches, he said.
He can work with clients in Omaha, Lincoln, North Platte, Imperial and Ogallala. Bremmer said he also takes clients in Colorado in Denver, Fort Collins, and Holyoke.

Vegas – Season 1 Episode 7 – Recap Video and Review – Bad Seeds
Recap video and review of Vegas – Season 1 Episode 7 – Bad Seeds
"Bad Seeds" is the best episode of Vegas to date, in large part because it takes a break from its tacked-on procedural aspects to focus on the central narrative between Sheriff Ralph Lamb (Dennis Quaid) and Vincent Savino (Michael Chiklis), whose troubles with the Milwaukee mob are mounting by the day. The episode is something of a character study in how both Vincent and Ralph adapt to the circumstances, specifically when they're thrown together in the second half of the episode. We briefly get a sense, in the opening moments of a particularly tense dinner scene, that these two men could possibly have been friends under different circumstances. Of course, that sentiment is all shot to hell when Lamb finally opens up to Savino, and Vincent uses the opportunity to push the Sheriff's buttons with a cynically-manipulative, emotional power play. Scenes like these give the episode a sense of dramatic heft that has often been lacking from the relatively low-stakes story being told in previous episodes. The conflicts here feel as though they're building to something more substantial in the future, and the series can only profit by this approach.
The story this week involves Savino discovering that Milwaukee has deployed the ice-cold killer known only as Jones (Damon Herriman) to assassinate the would-be kingpin. When Jones kills one of Savino's men (and an elderly woman – merely collateral damage), Ralph is brought into the investigation, and the Milwaukee plot is quickly inferred by Vincent, especially after a close call at the Savoy, where Jones nearly gains access to Savino's private quarters. A brief shootout leaves an officer (who recognized Jones from the airport and was able to piece together the fallacies of his cover story) bleeding profusely from a bullet to the abdomen. He may have missed this time, but Jones won't miss again, and Vincent knows this. And so Ralph takes Vincent into protective custody, taking him back to his ranch to toil in the baking sun. They later share steaks and have a terse conversation about Ralph's late wife, who was killed in a car accident while Ralph was stationed overseas in the war. Ralph carries around a complex guilt about the loss, as he could have come home, but instead took an extension. Vincent toys with Ralph, playing on the Sheriff's guilt by arguing that perhaps his wife would still be alive if he'd come home, as opposed to doing his duty out of some gung-ho notion of patriotism. That earns Vincent a hard right cross from Ralph, the first meaningful physical contact between the two. It's almost a shame that the conflict had to become physical at all, since so much of it worked at just a verbal level, with the two men verbally sparring in between genuine moments of quiet understanding.
This all leads to a climactic shootout at Ralph's ranch, as Jones closes in on his bait, and Ralph has to save Savino's life at the last moment. It's a solid arc that culminates in a fittingly dramatic action sequence that effectively neutralizes the threat of Jones, though there's still the peskier issue of Johnny Rizzo (Michael Weisman) selling Vincent out to organization head Angelo (Jonathan Banks), convincing him that Vincent's attempts to acquire ownership of The Tumbleweed Club has caused too much ruckus, and he has to be taken care of in order to square things with Chicago. Vincent's resignation to his fate is surprisingly moving, as he kisses his wife, Laura (Vinessa Shaw) one last time as he leaves with Rizzo and Angelo in what he knows, and accepts, is a setup. His suspicions are confirmed when they drive out to the middle of the desert, Rizzo draws a gun and Angelo apologizes for the necessity of what's to come. Vincent's plea that Rizzo bury him deep so that his kids don't see his bloated corpse in the papers is weirdly touching, and makes me wish we knew more about Vincent's home life, beyond just the fact that he has an occasionally tumultuous relationship with his beautiful, street-savvy wife.
This all leads to a conclusion that shouldn't be that surprising, since it's not like the show is really going to kill off one of its leads seven episodes in, Rizzo turns the gun on Angelo and pulls the trigger. And yet, it's still shocking in its bluntness. There's a matter-of-fact approach to how nonchalantly Angelo is disposed of, and just like that, Rizzo is the man at the top of the organization. It's a bold move that shows how quickly all the political maneuvering and power plays in the world fall by the wayside against the blunt, extricating force of a bullet to the head. Sometimes might is right in this game, and brawn is its own sort of brains. I'm way more interested in the potential of this new Savino/Rizzo dynamic than just about anything else on the show – definitely more than Rizzo's daughter Mia (Sarah Jones) and her continued flirtation with Jack Lamb (Jason O'Mara), which doesn't really amount to anything this week, and serves to detract screen time from more fruitful storylines. Sarah Jones is absolutely stunning though, so the subplot isn't entirely without redemption, I suppose.
There are also several loose ends from last week that require tying off, namely the mayoral election. Savino looks to close the gap for his puppet candidate George Grady (Gil Bellows) by rigging some of the voting booths although, as it turns out, he might not even need to, as Grady is doing far better in the polls than initially anticipated. By episode's end, it's revealed that Grady clinched the election, ousting incumbent Mayor Ted Bennett (Michael O'Neill), who shares a poignant farewell with Ralph, and congratulates him on his official ascendance to the office of Sheriff (as Ralph had run unopposed). The political landscape of Las Vegas is changing every bit as much as the physical landscape itself, and the further clash between the old guard and the new direction of the city provides one of the primary motivating themes of the series in its early run so far. This storyline is likely to bear fruit in the future, but for now, it's interesting enough just to see the various dealings and maneuverings involved in attaining, and retaining, power in Las Vegas. "Bad Seeds" is an episode that indicates just what this show could be if its loftier ambitions were realized, and that's a thrilling prospect, because the show is seriously good when it strips away the narrative excesses of the procedural, "case of the week" format. This is not to say that the approach doesn't have its merits, but sometimes a simpler, more focused approach is better when trying to progress an arc that likely is going to stretch out over the entire season, as the business with Savino and the mob is going to, to say nothing of his conflict with Ralph. Those conflicts are rich with dramatic potential, and it would behoove the creative forces behind the show to take advantage of every opportunity to tell a more nuanced story. Vegas isn't prestige television in the mold of more ambitious cable series, but it can certainly be an edifying hour of conflict, thematic resonance, and narrative cohesion each Tuesday night. "Bad Seeds" feels like a big step in that direction.

Fennelly, McDermott, Pollard and Rhoads Help With Move-In
AMES, Iowa – They migrate here by the thousands. Students from across the country and around the world are returning to Iowa State for the fall 2009 semester. One annual ritual around the start of the academic year is the huge flock of students moving in to ISU residences, their parents in tow.
The Iowa State athletics department is grateful to the students who chose Iowa State. ISU athletics director Jamie Pollard, football coach Paul Rhoads, men's basketball coach Greg McDermott and women's basketball coach Bill Fennelly will spend or have spent a couple of hours this week welcoming young people back to campus.
Pollard and McDermott were in Willow Hall on Wednesday, stopping by different dorm rooms, meeting students as they gear up for school, which starts Monday.
"Especially for newcomers, college can seem like such a big world when you first come to campus," Pollard said. "It is fascinating talking with students, learning where they are from and why they chose Iowa State. We wanted them to know how glad we are that they are here."
Residences director Pete Englin underscores the logistical scope of the moving process.
"We will accommodate around 9,000 students and by Wednesday night over 7,000 were already in their on-campus residences," Englin said.
Englin and his staff do all they can to made the transition easier.
"It is important that students and parents see that there is a university staff that cares about them and their Iowa State experience," Englin said. "We want them to get off to a good start at ISU. Our experience is that students who perform well academically in their first collegiate semester have a much higher rate of eventually graduating. Making a personal connection is important toward the goal of retention."
Pollard, a parent himself, empathizes with families who spent the day bringing in couches and putting up lofts.
"I know that I am only a few years away from doing this myself so I identify with the dads and moms who put a lot into this move."
Iowa State's on-campus living and dining have come a long way since the parents of today's ISU students attended college. In the Maple-Willow-Larch complex, the new Seasons Marketplace offers an across-the-board menu, ranging from Italian specialties to smoked salmon. The café-style dining facility has a warm ambience that suggests you are right at home. That is a big step toward ensuring that today's freshmen will be the Iowa State graduates of tomorrow.
