WMBD/WYZZ-TV - PEORIA, Ill. - High school football season is about to kickoff and players can't wait.
Those drums, those drums come out there with you, they're right in front of you," said Bloomington senior Donovan Loftin. "It's get your heart moving a little. It's crazy, the lights are a great feeling. I mean, it's amazing. The crowd, the energy there, it's amazing."
Teams have been practicing throughout the summer and had training camps the past two weeks.
"Coming out on Friday nights, the whole town comes to watch you play," said Stark County QB Joe Charvat. "There's nothing better than the Friday night lights here in Stark County."
Season openers are Aug. 29.
"It's just the lights. When I see those lights, I just get chills down my spine and you know I listen to music and all that, but when I get out there, those first stretches when you're on the field," said Morton senior Braden Rassi. "It hits you hard."
Players are down to their final few days of waiting.
Riley Beard/IVC Senior: "It's just crazy. Everyone's crazy. We're all hyped up," said IVC senior Riley Beard. "We get so hyped up here though. It's just crazy, I don't know."

The muffuletta was created at Central Grocery in New Orleans. This classic sandwich is basically antipasti—salami, mortadella and/or ham, mozzarella and provolone with a splash of olive salad—on a round sesame seed bun.
Last weekend, I sampled two muffuletta variations in the city where it all began. Read the rest of this entry »

Please note that the artists appearing may be subject to change.
David Whitney
Winner of the 2007 Hackney Empire new act of the year and BAFTA winner for Fonejacker. David Whitney's material is a fine blend of political satire and pure filth, making him the thinking person's comic. So long as that person is thinking of something satirically filthy at the time. His posh-accented delivery comes dunked in a tongue-in-cheek laddishness.
'... you can't stop him, you can only hope to contain him' (Reg D Hunter)
'His trajectory is perfect. He squeezes the laughter out of audiences. He is the squeeze person' (Eddie Izzard)
'David Whitney, a stand-up comedian with sharp cavalier observations, his CV reads: actor involved in the BAFTA wining comedy Fonejaker and bagpipe player, who has piped at many events including the Royal Tournament and Gwen Stefani's wedding, a very witty man of many talents' (Funhouse Comedy).
David Whitney tour dates
Matt Richardson
After starting comedy in 2009 at 18, Matt has become one of the fastest rising stars in comedy. 2013 saw Matt presenting ITV2's The Xtra Factor and appearing on Celebrity Juice, Nevermind The Buzzcocks, Sweat the Small Stuff and many more, and also touring with his debut national tour.
'Mildly laddish, but self deprecating stories all delivered with an irresistible twinkle...
This (extremely) young stand-up is poised to be the next bright, young sensation on the circuit - expect to hear a lot more of him' (The Guardian)
'Hilarious and charming' (The Daily Mirror).
Matt Richardson tour dates
Juliet Meyers
Jewish comic Juliet is a writer for The Sarah Millican Programme, Mock The Week and Radio 4's Now Show.
'Laugh-out-loud funny, wonderfully bizarre ideas' (Chortle)

Fifty Shades of White: A Minnesota XXXmas
If the publishing world's bestseller lists are any indication, the erotic novels collectively known as the Fifty Shades Trilogy will be a popular stocking stuffer this holiday season. Though largely scorned by critics, the lusty tales of unleashed kinks have proven a guilty pleasure for a host of readers seeking steamy escapism that needn't be hidden under the sheets. The holiday season, of course, can mean more stress than even the most provocative literature can relieve. Those seeking stronger stuff to beat the Yuletide blues should look no further than Hennepin Avenue, where the satiric minds of the Brave New Workshop are presenting Fifty Shades of White: A Minnesota XXXMas. BNW's annual holiday show has amassed a loyal following over the years, thanks to reliably raucous sketches that riff on the mundane madness of the season. Whether dissecting dysfunctional office parties or envisioning estranged family reunions, lobbing grievances over lackluster gifts or voicing the invective of a disgruntled Santa, the BNW troupe can be counted on to derive sidesplitting humor from holiday hysteria. Promising a mixture of new sketches and returning audience favorites, Fifty Shades of White is certain to elicit enough laughter to subdue seasonal stress. And if BNW's irreverent comics fail to entirely eliminate the anxiety, well, alternate remedies can be sought next door at Fantasy Gifts. In previews through November 15. Times do vary throughout the season; check online for a complete schedule.
Fridays, 7 & 10 p.m.; Saturdays, 5 & 8 p.m.; Wednesdays, Thursdays, Sundays, 7:30 p.m. Starts: Nov. 16. Continues through Jan. 12, 2012

Hello All,
I have an old Cannondale aluminum mountain bike that I have decided to convert into a Commuter and Tourer. It is a bike I bought new in 1994 and it has been well taken care of. I have decided to replace the wheels, and I am thinking bomb-proof, as I weigh a solid 230 pounds.
I am thinking of wheels with 36 spokes, as compared to my present 32-spoked wheels. The rear hub om my present wheel is Shimano Deore LX Parallax, while I think the front hub is a Cannondale generic.
I called up a wheel building outfit, and the gentleman I talked to gave me the following suggestions with attendant pricing;
1) XT Front Hub ($51)
2) XT Rear Hub ($33)
3) Straight Gauge Spokes and Brass Nipples ($30)
4) Labor ($40)
5)2 Mavic 719 Rims at 460grams/Rim ($140)
6) Shipping ($30)
My questions are;
a) Are the parts listed going to give me absolutely bomb-proof wheels that are superb for a clysdale?
b) Is $324 reasonable as to total pricing?
c) Should I think about machine-built wheels from Performance, Nashbar, Supergo or any other web-based retailer?
d) Am I about to throw money away trying for custom-built wheels, or are they worth their weight in gold? I do not have any experience as a Tourer, but I do ride long distances (100 miles or more) on weekends.
Thanks for your anticipated response.

A JavaScript library for prime numbers.
Primality is a JavaScript library for prime numbers. It features a fantastic primality test and identification of the various classes of prime numbers.
Primality has been tested in:
In browsers:
$ component install KenanY/primality
$ bower install primality
Using npm:
$ npm install primality
In Node.js and RingoJS v0.8.0+:
var primality = require'primality';
In RingoJS v0.7.0-:
var primality = require'primality'primality;
In Rhino:
In an AMD loader like RequireJS:
require 'paths': 'primality': 'path/to/primality' 'primality' console.logprimalityVERSION;;
Primality's flagship method is
primality(), which works as you might expect it
primality7;// => true primality6;// => false
Of course, you can pass strings instead of numbers if you'd like:
primality'13';// => true
Primality can even do arrays. If any of the values in an array are not prime,
false is returned.
primality17 19 23;// => true primality17 20 23;// => false
Beyond primality testing, Primality can also tell you if a pair of numbers are twin, cousin, or sexy primes. Twin primes are prime numbers that differ from each other by two. Similarly, cousin primes differ by four and sexy primes differ by six.
primalityareTwinPrimes3 5;// => true primalityareCousinPrimes3 7;// => true primalityareSexyPrimes5 11;// => true
You can also check for Wilson primes. Only three Wilson primes are known at the moment: 5, 13, and 563.
primalityisWilsonPrime563;// => true
The full changelog is available here.

To lead a better life I need my love to be here
Here, making each day of the year
Changing my life with the wave of her hand
Nobody can deny that there's something there
There, running my hands through her hair
Both of us thinking how good it can be
Someone is speaking but she doesn't know he's there
I want her everywhere and if she's beside me
I know I need never care
But to love her is to need her everywhere
Knowing that love is to share
Each one believing that love never dies
Watching her eyes and hoping I'm always there
I will be there and everywhere
Here, there and everywhere
A simple love song and Mojo's 4th best song ever written, "Here, There and Everywhere" tells the story of a man obsessed with love and desirous of it in every sense. Wanting to find love no matter where he goes, he hopes that his lover will always be beside him.
This is Paul McCartney's favourite song of his own composition.

I am an Assistant Professor of Economics at Purdue University. I received my PhD in Economics from the University of Pennsylvania in May 2010. I spent the academic year following graduation as a Max Weber Postdoctoral Fellow at the European University Institute
(EUI) in Florence, Italy.
My research focuses on how economic policy can mitigate the impacts of financial frictions, such as incomplete markets. Working in a class of general equilibrium models with heterogeneous agents, I analyze the effects of monetary policy and financial market
structure on equilibrium prices, allocation, and welfare. The analysis is both normative, in which I characterize the conditions under which policy is able to support an efficient allocation (in the Pareto sense), and positive, in which I determine the household
and firm behavior in response to policy. A key property in these models is whether policy supports a determinate equilibrium solution, for either the real economy or the financial economy.
My teaching portfolio includes Game Theory (at the undergraduate level, including a popular online text) and Macroeconomics at the MBA, MS, and PhD levels, including a novel distance-learning course design.

Congratulations to our two education majors and one minor:
Nicole Castellano received the 2016 President's Award, Patricia Gintowt recieved the Undergraduate Student Employee of the Year, education minor Michael Thorsen recieved the Monsignor Robert Paul Mohan '42, '43, and '48 Student Award
Announcing New Graduate Tuition Discount
Graduate tuition for all Education programs beginning fall 2015 will be $1035* per credit.
*Full time Catholic educators will receive a discount of %20 off this cost.
Welcome to the Department of Education
On behalf of the faculty, staff, and students of the Department of Education within the School of Arts and Sciences, I invite you to explore this website about our community of reflective practitioners.
Since its founding in 1908, the School of Education, and currently the Department of Education, sees it mission to contribute to the local, regional, and national educational environment. Our reflective practitioner model, rooted in Catholic social justice teaching and contemporary cognitive science, prepares each student for their role as leader-practitioner. A tradition of service to urban and Catholic education provides students with numerous experiences to further their development as an educational professional.
Our reflective model challenges students in whatever career they choose ----- teachers, school and diocesan administrators, educational psychologists, policy makers, and researchers. A reflective practitioner makes decisions mindfully considering the messages a decision sends (interpretive reflection), the practical implementation of the decision (descriptive reflection) and the moral dimensions of the decision (philosophical reflection). We prepare those who will be future and present leaders in the field of education in classrooms and beyond: Catholic schools, charter schools, public schools, private schools or higher education and government.
Our undergraduate program provides a unique experience of teacher preparation that provides sound content knowledge, practical skills and experiences that shape reflective practice. Students are in local schools with guided practicum and student teacher experiences with seasoned professionals. Secondary education students connect with both their major areas in an integrated approach.
Our graduate programs target current practitioners providing them with up-to-date brain research and its application to classroom practice. Our signature Catholic Educational Leadership and Policy Studies doctoral program is designed to meet the growing national shortage of superintendents, diocesan leaders, faculty and administrative personnel for Catholic higher education.
Thank you for your interest in our excellent department of reflective practitioners preparing future reflective practitioners. Our on-going goal is to impact the future of American education for all students. Please feel free to contact us for more information about specific programs.

Political Culture and Democracy
The effect of political culture on the form of government that emerges in a given nation has been debated for many years. Enlightenment theorists in England, France, and the United States seemed to be saying that any nation could establish the rule of law and a representative parliamentary system--that the overthrow of the monarchy would ipso facto lead to the establishment of a legal democratic state, and that such a state would be stable. No mention was made of cultural or structural factors underlying such a change. The focus of the Enlightenment theorists was on the political structure alone. Because of this focus, they improved the whole concept of political theory, giving to the world their analysis of power and power limitation, of law and legal authority, and of checks and balances within the political structure itself. The ideal of the power-limited, tenure-limited, legally constrained, minimalist state is their great gift to humanity and for this they will remain immortal.
If the Enlightenment theorists went beyond the Greeks in their analysis of power, the structure of representative government, and the court system, they abandoned some of the knowledge of the Greeks on social structure and the power of ideas. If Aristotle is weak on the theory of law and power limitation, he is strong on the theory of the class base for democracy. If Plato was disastrous on his theory of political guardianship, and the state control and propaganda that would support it, he was powerful on his theory of ideas determining human reality. The establishment of the legal parliamentary apparatus alone, without a great deal of corresponding change in the structure and culture of the society, does not seem to insure the longevity or stability of the new political system.
The Enlightenment optimism about the establishment of the legal democratic polity was tested in its infancy as the English Civil War resulted in the Cromwell

Foxygen show ends early after singer injured at First Avenue
Here's Foxygen's Sam France just moments before his injury.
Photo by Erik Hess
The fragile existence of polarizing indie rockers Foxygen reached a new breaking point Monday night at First Avenue. The band's headlining set at the Minneapolis club lasted only about five minutes when singer Sam France -- known for his full-bodied onstage antics -- jumped and fell into the barricade in front of the stage.
The band was playing its first song of the night, "On Blue Mountain," when France toppled off of a monitor. According to the band's Twitter account, "Sam is OK - he might have broken his leg." Other accounts from the show suggest that he may have hit his head pretty hard on the barricade on his way down too. Update: The band tweeted that France sustained "complete fractures of the tibia and fibula."

Atlas Sound at Cedar Cultural Center, 3/2/12
Update: They have just cancelled an appearance at the 2013 FYF Fest. Full band statement from Twitter (8/16/13):
The cancellation is directly related to injuries sustained by Sam in July. Sam sustained complete fractures of the tibia and fibula-- severe enough to require surgery. He is currently unable to walk unassisted. Being from the LA area, it's a true heartbreaker for us to be unable to appear at FYF. Thanks so much to our fans for your understanding. We look forward to seeing you soon! Physical therapy is under way! Thank you thank you thank you for your time, attention, and understanding.
From Gimme Noise's Nicole Oran:
It was a short set. The band had only just started the first song, "On Blue Mountain," when outrageous Sam France started his aggressive set that turned out poorly, too quick. While engaging with the audience, seemingly overtaken by performance, France leaned on the front monitor, which seemed to tip forward. He fell toward the crowd was apparently injured as a result of hitting the front barricade railings.
At first it wasn't clear if he was hurt or where he was because an audience member that resembled him grabbed the microphone. The band continued to play for a few moments and then security became present. Jonathan Rado regretfully informed the crowd, "If we have to cancel, we'll come back and make it up to you, okay? We love you. Sorry."
France was stationary on the floor between the barricades on the stage while security and who appeared to be paramedics placed him on a stretcher. He was moving, appeared conscious, but had a bandage around his left calf. His hands were placed on his forehead. As he became visible to the crowd again when the stretcher was lifted to leave the area, "Happiness Is a Warm Gun" played overhead and the crowd cheered, as if to applaud a recovery. But the show ended before a full song was played. And it's currently not clear how he was really hurt and how bad it was.

After France fell, an ambulance was called, and paramedics had to carry France out on a stretcher.

Anyone who has seen the band play, notably at Pitchfork Music Festival on July 21, knows that the band's antics can be quite physical in nature. Here's France climbing the stage's support beam during their set.
Photo by Erik Hess
This incident follows a series of tumultuous moments in the band's recent past. In March, France had a bit of a meltdown at SXSW, and summer dates in Europe were shelved when Foxygen's "creative health" was called into serious question. Touring member Elizabeth Fey wrote a lengthy Tumblr post earlier this week stating that there were many personal problems within the group. In spite of rumors of the band's impending breakup, the story according to their publicist is that they're not splitting. Let's hope this latest setback is just that -- a setback.
Update: More tweets Tuesday say that shows in Vancouver and Seattle have been canceled, and that France must have surgery. In true Foxygen style, this latest update is delivered with some humor.
On the bright side, Sam will probably have a cool cane or something.

Never a shortage of ridiculous lawsuits in U.S. courts
After his 12-year-old son — yes, 12 — was sued last year by a woman who got conked by the boy's errant throw at a Little League baseball game, Bob Migliaccio of Asbury Park, N.J., told his local newspaper he wasn't shocked because "people sue every day." Do they ever.
Like the inmate in a Michigan prison who sued that state's corrections department claiming he had been denied toothpaste, resulting in him losing a tooth. The man only had five of his adult teeth when he was locked up in the first place.
Or like the woman in Nassau County, N.Y., who had an affair with a police officer and then threatened to sue the county and the police department for $10 million — because they didn't keep the officer from visiting her while on duty. As a result of this alleged dereliction, "claimant has suffered and sustained severe and substantial emotional damages," the notice of claim said.
We're not making this stuff up. Indeed the website FacesOfLawsuitAbuse.org provides a month-by-month breakdown of some of the most incredible lawsuits filed around the country. The site is a product of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's Institute for Legal Reform, which recently announced its 10 most ridiculous suits from 2012. Topping the list: a lawsuit by a driver in Florida who pleaded guilty to DUI in a fatal accident, then sued a victim.
This is similar to a New Jersey case in which a woman who sent a text message to a man was sued because he read the text while driving and caused a serious wreck. A judge tossed that case, thank goodness.
But sometimes even dismissals can pay off for trial lawyers. After a California judge found a class-action claim against Volkswagen meritless, plaintiffs' attorneys tweaked the complaint. Weary of the court battle, VW finally settled. The attorneys received about $500,000 in fees, the plaintiffs received zilch. What a system.

hi all,
Thanks to all the wonderful cloudy weather we've been having here in Pittsburgh, I haven't been able to get much observing in these last couple of months. (or most of the summer).
So I put all that free time to use in creating a new webpage of deep sky objects.
Over the years, I've visually sketched or video-captured my way thru most of T. W. Webb's deep-sky objects from the collection of Webb Society observing books.
After spending an evening flipping thru the books and noting how many of the different category objects that I had, I decided to create a 'tour' page to go along with my other types of astronomical tours that I have on my main webportal.
For the 'Webb Tour', the general information page is http://home.comcast....bjects-Tour.HTM
On the main page I have a little info about the Rev T.W. Webb, along with page links for Planetary Nebula, Gaseous Nebula, Open Clusters, Globular Clusters, and Galaxies. These pages are where the individual observations are located. Once on one of the category pages, just scroll down the object table list and click the object button. A new popup will open containing either a sketch, video-capture image or both. The visual sketches were made with a wide variety of telescopes, mostly dobs, and the video-capture were mostly taken with a 8' SCT (Celestron Ultima or Meade LX200) or a AstroTech 6" RC. The video-cameras used were all varying models of StellaCam - EX, SC-II and SC-3. There's also a few images using a Samsung SDC435 camera.
Even though I'm closing in on having observed 2000 different deep-sky objects, it was interesting to see how many Webb Objects I've missed when putting together the new pages in the different 'Webb' categories.
While I observed all of the Webb Globular clusters, so far I've only observed 53 out of 80 planetary nebula, 45 of 80 gaseous nebula, 215 of the 234 open clusters, and 194 of the 270 galaxies listed in the Webb Society books.
Looks like I have a bit of video-observing and capturing ahead of me to finish all the Webb Objects.
That's the nice thing about our hobby, there's always new things to go hunt down and observe!
So, hope you all enjoy the new webpages, and maybe they'll inspire some observing!
(if it ever clears,,,,,)

Ready for some great Mule Deer hunting in Colorado?
You will be hunting 4,600 acres of private land on three separate ranches in Colorado GMU's 22 and 23.
This outfitter is killing bucks that score 140″ to 170″ B&C on average, but that doesn't mean a larger one isn't out there. Marc took a 187″ buck last season.
This is an easy, four day, fully guided mule deer hunt for any type of hunter. They only offer a few of these mule deer hunts a year so contact us ASAP.
Start Planning Your Colorado Hunt Request Prices
Contact us today and we can arrange your hunt at no cost to you.
Great slam dunk mule deer hunting in Colorado for 140-170 deer with a real chance at a bigger deer for a deal." – Marc Warnke
Trophy pics from this mule deer hunt:
They hunt these ranches in the morning and the evening and don't bother the deer during the day while they are bedding down. That way, they don't often leave the ranches. This is a really "easy" hunt.
Most hunters fly to Grand Junction, Colorado where the outfitter picks them up and returns them to the airport at no charge.
Colorado Deer Hunting License and Tags:
These are Colorado second season and Colorado third season mule deer hunts that take place in the middle to end of October and the first part of November.
Lodging and Accommodations:
Hunters stay out the outfitter's apartment, or they put hunters up in hotel if needed at no cost to them.
You will eat great meals every day, three times a day.

Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: The base of operation was the State Park at Southampton, MA. Spark source and array were towed 50 feet astern of the whaler. Navigation was provided by visual sights on known land marks. The data quality were good to excellent over about 75 percent of the track run. Data from the other 25 percent of the track were poor with limited or no penetration of the sub-bottom. This lack of penetration of the bottom by the acoustic energy is attributed to biogenic gas bubbles in the near surface sediments. All of the data from this survey were retained by the personnel from the Water Resources Division.

I had the same problem before i changed from the cheap freewheel my bike came with to the white industries one i have now. When i pedaled i had this clicking/ticking sound. I thought it was my bottom bracket. I changed out my freewheel for other reasons, and low and behold the sound hasnt returned. Not saying thats the case, but its a personal experience. Might want to try checking in the mechanics section.
Bottom bracket, crank arm, pedal spindle, chainring bolt, or something completely unrelated in another area of the bike. Tell us more about your bike.

are you the guy that other guy who posted here a few times flipped his bike to?
he didn't seem like he really knew what he was doing & even posted that he had a ticking coming from the chain(?) so you might want to have that thing checked thoroughly by someone knowledgeable.
definitely try riding it fixed 1st to find out if it is a bad freewheel.
good luck...

I had the same problem on my bike. No noise on fixed, but cracking/popping noise on ss. The freewheel I have on the bike is just the stock one from bikesdirect and I attributed the problem to just a POS freewheel.
My solution: Don't use the freewheel side of the wheel anymore.
Usual suspects: tight chain or POS freewheel.
If you loosen your previously too tight chain and still have noise, you have broken your POS freewheel. Get a new, non-POS freewheel and make sure you still have a bit of play in the chain at the tightest point while you are rotating the crank, or risk taking out your new awesome freewheel in short order.
I know next to nothing. I am frequently wrong.
I had a mystery click once that turned out to be my pants catching on a piece of excess brake cable and pinging the ferule at the end of it against the frame. Felt like an idiot when I finally figured it out after a month of looking.
Ride lots, have fun, skid often!

I really like this one
After a second look, I just noticed the eyes. Your work is awesome.
rly amazing .. great work
Awesome !!! I really like!
Great work!
This work was featured on Digital Abstract ARTs in March and April , 2011.
Your works are wonderful! Thanks for the great art!
Your works are wonderful! Thanks for the great art!
this is badass man, love the shapes and details!
Thanks Anthony! I appreciate that. I wish more people felt that way. It's one of those pieces people just don't know what to make of it. Lmao
Those are the best ones man! I used to be a 3D abstract whore, and people would be like "dude is that a robot riding a futuristic motorcycle" and I just laughed and told them its whatever they want it to be. The beauty of this work lies far beyond the logic, each shape, element, and colour expresses a feeling that only the artist knows, the viewer must break down the composition to develop a meaning of their own. Modern abstract work is no longer thinking outside of the box, its now thinking that there is no box.
Well said. I thought your assumption was spot on. It is def. a subjective matter. You know what is ironic about thinking outside of the box though? There never was a box to begin with. People just refuse to explore their cognitive abilities and are prisoner to the fears that have manifest themselves as an inherent resistance to creativity and it's processes. Most people are not cognizant that they have the right to shift the paradigm that distorts their perspective. But I think there are some pretty amazing developments in a small community of artists including you my friend. Eventually the process for creating and understanding art in all it's dimensions and mediums will manifest itself through some crazy ass form of Micro-evolution. And then everyone will just know and shit. Lmao
this is so cool..i wish you'll make a tutorial of this
It's really not that complicated to put together. Just need to able to model in c4d for the most part.
that's the problem...i don't know how to render things in c4d or even 3ds max or whatever 3d rendering software you may think of
niceeee! to fav's

Great concept!! Flawless as always,..

Jacob Green played 12 seasons for the Seahawks and became one of the team's legendary defensive players.
He starred at Texas A&M and was a first-team All-America selection as a senior and finished his career as one of the school's all time greats. He still ranks at or near the top of several season and career stats, including sacks and fumbles caused.
During his Seahawks career, he recorded a team-record 97.5 sacks, which was good for No. 3 on the NFL's all-time sack list behind Reggie White and Lawrence Taylor at the time of his retirement. He joined the franchise's Ring of Honor in 1995.
Green talked about the current Seahawks defense, his playing days in Seattle and more during a live chat Jan. 10 on seattletimes.com.

Every day, under blue skies, the Pee Wees practice hard. Rachel cheers. Roger tries. But Sonny just wants french fries. Team spirit is what it takes.
Can Troop 23 win the big game?

What is Banned Books Week?
Banned Books Week is an annual national event celebrating the freedom to read and the importance of the First Amendment. Observed every fall, the event draws attention to the dangers of censorship by spotlighting actual or attempted banning of books throughout the United States.
Our director, Susan Brown, created a great project at her previous library, Lawrence Public Library, and accepted an ALA award for Lawrence Public Library's "Banned Books Trading Cards Project" completed in fall 2012. This is our second year adapting her project here at Chapel Hill Public Library!
The project has begun by putting out a call to local artists in Orange, Durham, Chatham, Alamance, and Wake Counties to design original small-scale art.

Domain Names: Obtaining and Perfecting a Security Interest
Agin, Warren E., The RMA Journal
The July/August 2000 issue of the Journal presented "Websites: Obtaining and Perfecting a Security Interest." This article, also excerpted from Agin's book, Bankruptcy and Secured Lending in Cyberspace, provides due diligence steps and concerns vis-a-vis domain names, as well as covenants to allow maintenance and recovery of Website-related collateral.
Is a domain name registration an asset that can be subject to a security interest? How does a secured lender obtain a security interest in the domain name and then protect its rights in that name? These are interesting questions for an industry just starting to face the issues raised by borrowers' use of domain names. Almost all businesses either have now or will have a domain name. Certainly, every large corporation has registered at least one domain name. When a bank grants a loan secured by all the borrower's assets, it should ensure it has a security interest in the borrower's domain names as well. Otherwise, the bank may find itself unable to foreclose an important asset. Possibly, a financially troubled borrower will sell its domain names without surrendering the proceeds to the lender.
As domain names become more valuable, domain name holders may attempt to securitize them. For example, The Industrial Bank of Korea established a program to lend against domain names. The bank uses an eight-member appraisal group to establish a domain name's value. The bank then will lend up to 30% of the appraised value. Securitizing domain names is possible by working with a domain name registration service, Internet Plaza City, which provides the appraisal services and allows the bank greater control over the domain name collateral. U.S. banks will have to find their own methods for lending against domain names.
Whether a license or a contract right, a domain name will be considered a general intangible under the UCC. The category of "general intangibles" is a catch-all, encompassing any personal property not included in the other asset categories provided by the UCC. Thus, in In re Hengalo Enters, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Florida considered a franchise agreement to be a general intangible. Domain names differ somewhat from the traditional contract in that they constitute, in one sense, an indirect government grant of the right to use the domain name. Another form of license by government grant, the liquor license, has been held to be a general intangible, potentially subject to a security interest. Domain names share features in common with telephone numbers, which courts have considered subject to security interests as general intangibles. These parallels indicate that the user of a domain name can grant a lender a valid security interest in the right to use the domain name.
Contractual terms in a domain name registration agreement may affect both the domain name holder's right to grant a security interest in the domain name and the lender's ability to recover the domain name upon default. For example, Network Solution's agreement includes the following clause:
Non-Assignment. Your rights under this Agreement are not assignable. Any attempt by you to assign your rights shall render this Agreement voidable at our option. Any attempt by your creditors to obtain an interest in your rights under this Agreement, whether by attachment, garnishment or otherwise, shall render this Agreement voidable at our option.
How this or similar clauses affect a lender's ability to obtain a consensual lien against a domain name will depend on the rights the borrower has to the domain name. Characterizing the domain name as an intellectual property right held by the domain name holder will give the holder rights outside of the contract, which the lender can take as collateral. However, defining domain name rights as just those rights contractually granted by the registrar means that restrictions on assignment, like those described above, will prevent a domain name holder from granting a consensual lien against a domain name. …

With thousands of shows in his rear view mirror, an iconic song ("Bad to the Bone") to his credit and album sales topping 15 million worldwide, what does George Thorogood need to prove? "Absolutely nothing," Thorogood says. "I just try and keep my feet on the ground ... as opposed to going in the ground!" During our chat, Thorogood and I also talked about his musical influences, opening for the Rolling Stones and more.

British fashion designer Matthew Williamson has traveled to India 36 times in the last 10 years and is eager to return.
His fascination with the country is shared by Oscar de la Renta, Monique Lhuillier, Etro, Roberto Cavalli, Gucci and Tracy Reese, among others, who have embraced colorful and embellished Indian style. This is expressed in the gypsy and bohemian looks; beaded, mirrored and metallic trims; embroidery; spicy colors, and tie-dye and ikat prints found in numerous collections.
Indian-inspired fashions are proving to be salable at retail and a reason to buy for many women bored with basics. Retailers from Target to Henri Bendel have opened in-store shops devoted to India and its kaleidoscope of offerings.
"India is a creative assault on the senses: The colors, the people, the land, the culture and the unique crafts and arts, from beading to Bollywood, are all incredibly alluring to me," said Williamson, who produces part of his collections at Indian factories. "I fell in love with India when I was 18. The incredible range of great things found in India lend themselves to much positive interpretation and are having a big influence on the worlds of fashion and the arts right now. And, in many ways, I think it's only the beginning."
Williamson's sophisticated collections are often exotically embellished and opulently colored as homages to India, renowned for its textiles and handicrafts, burgeoning fashion and home furnishings, as well as the megawatt film industry Bollywood.
In January, Target Corp. rolled out a new merchandising concept to all its stores for six weeks called Global Bazaar, with decorative accessories and furniture from India and Asia, Latin America, Africa and Europe. The Indian presentation featured items evoking India's British Colonial past and more exotically inspired crafts and handiwork made by local artisans.
Jewelry designer John Hardy is based in Bali, but finds inspiration from India. He shot his upcoming fall advertising campaign in the desert region of Rajastan, an area known for its historic palaces, forts and colorful mirrored clothing.
"Interest in the exotic, colorful designs of India has traveled from Mumbai to Main Street, U.S.A.,'' said Cindy Morris, chief operating officer at the Dallas Market Center, parent of FashionCenterDallas and the new India Pavilion, a wholesale boutique mart. "The popularity of Indian and Indian-influenced style is pervasive, from fashion to home and garden. We see retailers from small towns and large metropolitan areas equally interested in these unique products."

Among designers, Lhuillier said her fall 2005 collection of sparkling evening dresses was inspired by the private gemstone collection of an Indian maharani.
"I was influenced by the exotic beauty and rich colors of Indian jewels, and the opulent way of dress and extravagant lifestyle of Indian royalty," she said. "We have the majority of our beadwork and embroideries done in India. The craftsmanship is beautiful. Their components are very interesting. The only downside is the eight- to 12-week turnaround time."
Designers who produce in India stress that it's mandatory to have a quality control and quality assurance team onsite to monitor each step of production, but that overt mistakes aren't common. They said slight or quirky variances in individually handcrafted items with beading and embroidery are valued for their uniqueness rather than being machine-made and following a static prototype.
India's cultural cavalcade of creative inspirations isn't limited to fashion. Take a walk through any major shopping mall, surf the Internet, glance through a fashion magazine or make a trip to an art movie house, and it's clear that India is reaching out to the world with assets that are waiting to be tapped.
The world's second most populous nation, with 1.1 billion, India is successfully courting multinational businesses with cheap production and shipping costs, a plethora of indigenous crafts and people known for a strong work ethic and being customer friendly.
Still, even as more Indians enter the middle class, challenges and questions linger over profiting and prospering in post-quota India, which has an archaic public service infrastructure, widespread poverty and rising HIV rates.
The end of international apparel and textile quotas has created a new realm of fashion business possibilities for India, which is expected to increase its share of the $248 billion global fashion market to 6.5 percent by 2008 from 4 percent this year, according to the Fashion Design Council of India, which will stage its fall fashion shows April 20-26 in New Delhi during Lakme Fashion Week.
The event will include 40 shows, 70 exhibition stalls and an interactive panel discussion. Designers will show collections in categories such as Indian, Indo-Western and Western. Fashion week draws international buyers and is getting more media attention. This year's visitors are anticipated to include Naomi Campbell and Donatella Versace, who is to award the winner of a design reality show an internship with Versace in Milan, according to the FDCI.
"India is on a roll, and there's no turning back,'' said Arnold Aronson, managing director of retail strategies at Kurt Salmon Associates, who recently returned from a trip there. "India is second only to China in terms of its strength as a production and export giant, but India has unique strengths that China doesn't have: the handiwork of its artisans and craftsmen and all the beautiful textiles.
"India is an important and growing source of exports to the U.S. and the world, but it also is poised to do more importing of American and global goods as the Indian population gains wealth and becomes more and more concerned with status brands, which we're already seeing happen,'' he said. "They're going to want to spend money. Within the next five years, India is scheduled to construct at least 200 new shopping centers in anticipation of its consumers' demands for global merchandise."
Manufacturers who produce in India said they can't get the same level of handiwork in China, or anywhere else, but they concede that the turnaround time can be slow.
"The whole Indian-fashion craze is just exploding now, not just in America but throughout Europe and Asia," said Sameer Ramani, vice president at New York-based Contrepoint Industries, which produces moderate and better sportswear collections, many of which have Indian inspiration. Ramani's family owns fashion production facilities.
"What you see coming out of India is what China can't do — India has the edge over China because of its wealth of artisans, craftsmen and beautiful textiles and prints that aren't found anywhere else in the world,'' Ramani said. "We're seeing big increases in our annual volume thanks in great part to the Indian trend.
"The fashion microscope is on India and its influence on the style scene is definitely growing,'' he said. "The styles and especially the embellishment, prints and colors are becoming staples and constantly revisited by designers. Look at the current rage for gypsy and bohemian chic and the silhouettes, such as long tunics and peasant dresses. It's yet another reinvention of hippie chic that goes back at least 40 years."
Adam Lippes, who owns the sportswear, T-shirt and innerwear business Adam+Eve, based in New York, described Indian style as "cool, easy and sexy. It fits right in with the concept of American sportswear being relaxed and highly wearable."
Lippes has much of his collection embellished in India, and he will start sewing complete garments there in 2006.
"I learned a lot about the beauty of India handiwork and embellishment from Oscar de la Renta, where I was a creative director for a few years,'' he said. "So when I launched my line a year ago, I knew I wanted to go there for the exquisite detailing. Now, thanks to the relaxed quota system, I think we will start actual production there very soon."
Silk Threads, a Dallas-based dress and sportswear business that specializes in native Indian wedding dresses, sportswear and home furnishings, is starting a line for fall with Western styling and Indian embellishment, said Ruby Bhandari, owner and designer.
"We're launching 30 styles of dresses, jackets, shirts and blouses with an exotic feel and lots of Indian detailing,'' said Bhandari, who has been in business 14 years and also owns production factories in India. "Wholesale prices are $34 to $150. The ethnic-inspired look is becoming almost a classic fashion niche that's not going to go away, but get stronger. So we're combining the best of Indian embellishment with highly wearable Western styles."
Apparel sales in India are projected to hit $16 billion this year, according to the Fashion Design Council of India, with double-digit growth projected for the foreseeable future because of the surge of international interest in Indian style and manufacturing, along with growth in volume at established Indian design firms.
By comparison, U.S. women's apparel sales were $95 billion last year, up 5 percent from $90 billion in 2003, according to The NPD Group, a market research company in Port Washington, N.Y. Total U.S. apparel sales in 2004 were $173 billion compared with $166 billion in 2003.
"I produce my fashion line in India because it's not affordable to do such handiwork in America," said Charlie Brown, a multiline sales representative and also owner of the Karlie juniors' and contemporary sportswear line, based in Dallas. "India offers novelty and unusual detailing at a great price. You have to really pick and choose carefully the factories that you do business with and keep a close eye on production to make sure you get what you ordered, but I guess that's the rule anywhere.
"The turnaround time isn't fast, either, so you have to do lots of advance planning,'' he said. "Overall, the Indian population is extremely polite and great to do business with. And it's just the place if you want embellished items, which everyone seems to be doing."
India's infatuation with fashion, style and the media can be linked partly to the youthfulness of its population — the median age is 24.4 years. Media-savvy Indians can't seem to get enough of MTV, fashion magazines and films. Bollywood, India's film industry, has long captivated moviegoers with its formulaic plots that typically involve a love triangle that ends in a happy marriage and/or a broken heart. Dazzling song-and-dance segments are often metaphors for passion.
For many Indians, Bollywood productions are a respite from personal troubles, a chance to dream of a better life and savor a hot potato samosa, spicy peanuts or mango ice cream — all for a few rupees. At least 25 percent of the Indian population lives at or below the poverty line and only about 60 percent of homes have electricity and running water.
Still, India produces almost 1,000 movies a year. Each costs about $1.5 million and the industry annually sells almost 4 billion tickets, with gross revenues of about $2 billion. Hollywood produces about 800 movies annually at a cost of about $47.7 million a film, selling 3 billion tickets that generate a $51 billion gross. But the Indian film industry is growing at a rate of 13 percent annually while Hollywood is gaining 6 percent. The average ticket price at an Indian movie theater is about 70 cents compared with about $10 in the U.S.
Significantly, Bollywood actresses are the style icons and have so much impact on Indian lifestyles that women often view movies before going shopping so that they can dress like their favorite star. Families routinely turn to Indian cinema, including a classic movie such as "Pakeezah" or a newer blockbuster such as "Devdas," before making a wedding sari purchase so that the bride is certain to wear the latest trends. Indian wedding saris are almost always red and heavily encrusted with gold, jewels, exotic beads and mirrors.
Bollywood star Priyanka Chopra is credited with the rage for colorful Punjabi-style shalwars, which are long tunics worn over pants.
In fact, according to the Fashion Design Council of India, Bollywood has more impact on apparel buying habits that any other source. It is is expected to inspire at least $4.5 billion in retail fashion sales during the next two years.
Indians idolize stars such as leading men Shahrukh Khan, Hrithik Roshan and Amitabh Bachchan, and heroines Kareena Kapoor, Bipasha Basu and Aishwarya Rai, a former Miss World, who is considered the reigning queen of Indian cinema. Rai, who is trying to cross over to Hollywood with several English-language films in the works, stars in the current "Bride and Prejudice," a Hindi-flavored, English-language version of the Jane Austen novel. She is also negotiating a production deal with Michael Douglas, the actor and producer, who announced in February that he'll start producing movies in India in 2006, starting with "Racing the Monsoon," the installment of an adventure trilogy preceded by "Romancing the Stone," and "Jewel of the Nile."
Other producers have brought Indian-based or -flavored films to American screens with some commercial success, including "Monsoon Wedding," "Lagaan," "Bend it Like Beckham," "A Touch of Pink," "Bollywood Queen" and "Vanity Fair." The musical "Bombay Dreams" ran on Broadway from last April to Jan. 1 and received Tony Award nominations for Best Costume Design and Best Orchestrations. And rock 'n' roll diva Tina Turner is said to have agreed to star in a new Merchant-Ivory film called "The Goddess" to be filmed in India during the next year in which she will sing in Hindu and Sanskrit.
"India is playing a huge role in entertainment, fashion and lifestyle,'' said Contrepoint Industries' Ramani. "It's a revolutionary change.''
