Hall of Fame Inductees U2 – vocalist Bono (born Paul Hewson), guitarist the Edge (Dave Evans), bass player Adam Clayton and drummer Larry Mullen Jr. – formed at Mount Temple School in Dublin in 1976. The four originally dubbed themselves Feedback, then later the Hype. On St. Patrick's Day in 1978, the Hype – now calling themselves U2 – traveled from Dublin to the city of Limerick in the midwest of Ireland to perform at a talent contest sponsored in part by CBS Records and Guinness. U2's three-song performance won first prize, including a trophy that's part of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum's U2 Featured Collection, £500 and a demo recording session. That session led to the group's EP called U2-3.
Watch the video below as Rock and Roll Hall of Fame curator Meredith Rutledge-Borger shares the stories behind the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's U2 collection, and a time when the group were playing in Irish clubs with £1 covers and writing their own press releases "full of lies."

Common celebrates his 40th birthday tonight at One in SLC with guests Kanye West and Serena Williams.
Frida Bistro celebrates its second birthday tonight, tomorrow and Sunday nights.
Drink of choice at both fetes? Vida Teqila, owned by Park Cityites Lisa and John Barlow.
Frida Bistro is only two years old and already one of the best restaurants in the city. Not just best Mexican, best restaurant, period. Their three-day celebration, kicking off tonight, features Vida Tequila, whose premium liquors are on the bar menu at Frida and other local restaurants and will be sponsoring Common's bash tonight.
After a series of delays, all three Vida tequilas–the silver, the reposado and the anejo–are on the shelves in Utah's premium wine stores, as well. Frida Bistro's birthday menu will feature a four-course menu paired with wine special Vida tequila cocktails
La Paloma: Vida Anejo/Izze Sparkling Grapefruit Juice/Lime Juice
Dulce de Tequila: Vida Repasado/Hennessy Black Cognac/Cointreau/Lime Juice/Agave Nectar
El Jefe: Vida Blanco/Grand Marnier/Lime Juice/Agave Nectar
If you want to mix one up yourself, here's a recipe for a Frida concoction made with Vida Reposada, and served in Riedel's glass especially designed for tequila.
Put 1 jigger Vida Tequila Reposado, 1 tsp. agave nectar, juice of 1/2 lime, some Cointreau and Hennesey Black to taste in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake thoroughly and strain into a Riedel tequila glass.
Okay, it's true. You can strain it into a regular stemmed glass. (Hell, it would probably taste great fromr a plastic cup, but it deserves better.)

Who Dat: Amy Dannwolf
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
From 303Triathlon by Lucas McCain
Amy Dannwolf is a competitor, race director, business owner, and wife of a successful local professional triathlete who just finished 2nd Overall at the Boulder 70.3 race on Sunday. Needless to say, she has her hands in a bit of everything. We sat down with Amy to talk about her upcoming Littlefoot Triathlon, her industry related business and the story behind her husband pipping Lance Armstrong at the line earlier this year.
First things first, as most of our audience are triathletes, could you tell give us some information on the Littlefoot Triathlon coming up on September 8th? What do you like about this event and what prompted the date change?
Littlefoot is a sprint triathlon held in Bear Creek Lake Park, in my opinion one of the most scenic parks on the Front Range. The race is held entirely within the park, which is unusual for a triathlon. I've been a part of this event since I first raced it in 2008; it was the 3rd triathlon I ever did and my first sprint. In 2009 I volunteered at the race and in 2010 I took over as race director. Until this year the race was held in mid-May, making it the first open water event of the year in Colorado. The water has always been brutally cold for the race, but in 2011, it snowed the night before. I was camping out at the race site in the back of a Budget Truck, temperatures were in the 30s overnight, and I knew then I had to fight to get the date changed so the race would have a future. There's only so many people who want to swim in 50 degree water. Fortunately, though it took a lot of persistence, Bear Creek Lake Park was receptive of my idea to move it to early September.

Fotodiox Announces 600w Equivalent LED Studio Lights
Fotodiox, a company more commonly known for its adapters and lighting accessories, has announced the release of their new 600 watt incandescent equivalent high-intensity LED studio light, the LED100WA. LED lights give off almost no heat and thus are considerably more comfortable for subject and photographer, particularly in indoor studio settings. The size, weight, output power, and 0-100% dimmer of the LED100WA make it a logical option for on-location video as well. The light comes in both 5600K (Daylight) or 3200K (Tungsten) color temperatures and is styled after traditional studio monolights. The LED100WA is equipped with a standard Bowens (S) bayonet mount for light modifiers and other accessories such as softboxes and barndoors.
The LED100WA lights are priced at $324.95 and are available now at www.fotodioxpro.com.

Expanding Our Maritime Terminal
Published May 28, 2008 - (Updated Dec 19, 2012)
If you think Puerto Vallarta's increasing parking problems have been limited to our city streets, you've been missing the bigger picture. All around the world, business is booming for the cruise industry. Passenger numbers are increasing all around and, in terms of new ships, "bigger is better" seems to be the norm, according to "Cruise Industry News." New ships are being built larger, not only in size but also in amenities; however, the size of new ships largely depends on the infrastructure ashore. And with a 223% increase in cruise ship arrivals here in Puerto Vallarta over the past decade, the cruise industry's message has been loud and clear: the time has come to expand Puerto Vallarta's Maritime Terminal.
Cruise ships began visiting Mexico's Pacific Riviera long before Captain Stubbing and his Love Boat crew of misfits appeared on our TV sets in the late seventies. "Puerto Vallarta is a very attractive destination for cruise travelers," according to Francisco Martinez Narvaez, general manager for Administracion Portuaria Integral, or API, the company that oversees our Maritime Terminal. "And since other destinations on the Pacific Riviera depend on this popularity, the efficiency of our terminal affects the entire cruise circuit." An experienced engineer, Martinez Narvaez came to Puerto Vallarta from Mexico City seven years ago to administer API. Under his skilled supervision, the expansion of Puerto Vallarta's Maritime Terminal, a gargantuan project full of technical and logistical challenges involving hundreds of workers and specialists, was begun in September 2005 and is expected to be completed this coming November.
At present, the Maritime Terminal has two docks, capable of handling ships of up to 300 and 250 meters long (984 and 820 feet) respectively. Whenever longer ships arrive or when there are more than two simultaneous arrivals (we had nine triple and seven quadruple arrivals in 2005), ships have to remain anchored offshore. This decreases the number of passengers who disembark, and consequently the financial benefits that our stores, restaurants and businesses receive through cruise tourism. Additionally, the Maritime Terminal must accommodate the myriad bay cruises that depart from the terminal on a daily basis. These vessels may be much smaller, but last year alone an estimated 480,000 Puerto Vallarta tourists took a day cruise. So on any given day, between multiple cruise ship arrivals and departures and bay cruises, up to 10,000 people, passengers and crew included, use API's facilities one way or another, a tremendous logistical and security challenge.
The expansion project calls for partially demolishing, redesigning and lengthening Dock 2, and constructing an entirely new dock, along with specialized facilities for day cruises. It is expected that, once completed, the project will generate a 30% increase in cruise activity along the Pacific Riviera, not to mention the Maritime Terminal itself.
But how do they actually undertake such a project? Driving by along Fco. Medina Ascencio on a daily basis makes it easy to take for granted the many logistical, legal, ecological and engineering hurdles involved, not to mention the hundreds of people required to address them.
Securing the permits
While API is in charge of the Maritime Terminal, its initial project, along with all the necessary permits, had to be approved at federal, state and municipal levels by the proper authorities. From the Communications and Transportation Secretary to Semarnat, Mexico's environmental resources agency, the success and profitability of the project had to be verified. A piece of land adjacent to the Terminal had to be purchased to allow for the expansion. At a cost of over $273 million pesos, approximately $24 million dollars, it is expected that the project will pay for itself within the next eight years, extending the Terminal's usefulness for 50 more years.
Refining the project
Looking at the artist rendering on page 26, it is easy to appreciate the challenge of actually docking not one, but three full-size cruise ships in such a small area. Doing so requires the collaboration of the experienced captains of each ship, along with the port pilots, who are most familiar with local currents, weather and the depth of the main basin, where incoming ships usually do a 180-degree turn before docking. Every time a ship docks, the port pilot on duty has to travel by boat to the arriving cruise ship while it is still two miles offshore. With both vessels moving side by side, the port pilot must literally jump onboard the cruise ship through a sea-level hatch and proceed to the control room, where he shares docking responsibility with the ship's pilot.
So, while the initial project looked great on paper, API relied on the world-renowned Star Center's expertise. Based in Florida, the Star Center is a specialized maritime training center recognized by industry professionals throughout the world. Using project measurements and photographs provided by API, the Star Center took advantage of its state-of-the-art immersive simulation facilities, where they were able to virtually recreate our harbor, not to mention the actual experience of docking just about any major cruise ship. This sophisticated environment allowed Puerto Vallarta's port pilots to "dry run" the project long before actual construction began.
Harnessing the land
Creating jobs for hundreds of Vallartenses, the actual project is being undertaken by two separate construction companies, Tradeco Infraestructura and Innovaciones Técnicas en Cimentación. Day-to-day operations at the construction site are overseen by Edmundo Nochebuena Ortiz, a 33-year-old civil engineer from the state of Mexico. A National University (UNAM) graduate, Nochebuena Ortiz has already overseen maritime constructions from San Felipe, Baja California, to Mazatlan, Sinaloa. Away from his wife and three children since the project began, he won't be reunited with them until the project is completed in November, only to be once again relocated to his next assignment.
While it may seem like a contradiction, building the new docks on land was a more feasible option for the project than actually working on water. A stretch of land that eventually will be dredged separates the ocean from the 33-foot-wide docks. Their underwater walls are built using a system of 56-foot-long interlocking planks strengthened by 98-foot-long piles that must be buried deep into the land, one by one. All planks and piles are cast on site and then positioned in place with huge cranes. Piles are inserted diagonally to provide strength against the ships' lateral pull while they are docked. Over 690 concrete piles will be positioned by the time the project is completed, each one taking four hours to bury, injecting pressurized water through their hollow cores to remove the sand, and then using a hammer that exerts 3.5 tons of pressure with each blow. Finally, massive concrete cubes are cast and positioned underwater at the base of the dock to prevent ship propellers from lifting the surrounding sand as they dock.
Maintaining quality control
In order to resist ongoing seawater corrosion, a special type of concrete must be used. Additionally, the structural strength of the docks must be able to withstand the huge forces exerted on them by the cruise ships, even while they are not moving. Concrete samples are tested on an ongoing basis at an onsite quality control facility, where a chemical process is used to measure the mixture's resistance to corrosion. The samples are then positioned in a press capable of applying up to 120 tons of pressure, a standard superior to that required by the project specifications. Finally, the sand and gravel mixture used to produce the concrete is constantly monitored for quality.
Digging the hole
Since construction of the docks is done on land, all the land separating them from the ocean must be removed. Dragamex, a Veracruz-based company that specializes in maritime dredging projects, will be called upon to undertake this final task, which should begin by the time this publication reaches you. It is expected that this stage of the project will take three months to complete, using specialized equipment capable of removing seven cubic meters of soil with each scoop, roughly the equivalent of a city bus.
Wrapping things up
Francisco Martínez Narváez is proud to say that the Maritime Terminal expansion project is presently on schedule, thanks to a carefully orchestrated workforce of talented individuals fully committed to it. In the end, it's hard to imagine what the maritime terminal will look like for the average passerby. But envisioning three massive cruise ships docked at the same time, two of them barely 35 feet away from the sidewalk, one word comes to mind: majestic.

Basically, the book is Brian Cox's Why Does $E=mc^2$?: (And Why Should We Care?).
I just finished Chapter 5, where we derived the spacetime momentum vector (energy-momentum four vector, as he establishes the physics jargon).
Let $\gamma=\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}}$
So, as we found out, the vector's spatial component is $\gamma m v$, leaving the time component as $\gamma m c$.
He went on, under the guise of making the outcome more intellgible, to saying we could happily multiply the time component by $c$ without changing it's meaning. Cool, I thought, no problem. Next, he pointed out $\gamma\approx1+\frac{1}{2}\frac{v^2}{c^2}$, so $\gamma m c^2 \approx mc^2 + \frac{1}{2}mv^2$. Et voilà, $mc^2$.
Granted, he's obviously trying to simplify things so I can reach an intuitive understanding, but from that point onwards, he uses $mc^2$ as the conversion value.
I'm confused. Could someone explain why we use $mc^2$ and not the version scaled down by a factor of $c$?

Named one of Family Fun's Top 10 Toys of the Year.
Sale Price:
A real, working hovercraft is just one of the 10 models you can build in this kit that teaches about pressure and airflow. Learn how even though air is invisible, it still has mass and can support very heavy objects under the right circumstances. Experiment with propellers and impellers, and build a hovercraft that will glide over smooth floors or flat water.
The kit includes a unique blower motor that uses an impeller to increase the air pressure under the hovercraft. And a safe, soft-bladed fan creates a stream of air to push the vehicle forward. Using these components, you can build and investigate the hovercraft and other machines that rely on air and air pressure to function.
In other experiments, you'll construct a batting machine that tosses a ball upward on a stream of air. Assemble a basketball launcher and practice shooting hoops with air power. Make a fan-driven car that drives forward, propelled by a stream of air. Experiment to see how much weight your hovercraft can support.
For ages 10 and up. Full-color, 32-page experiment manual. 59 building pieces; 10 experiments.

Boulder - In a blink of the eye, the University of Colorado soccer team tied up their Pac-12 Conference home opener against Washington. And in another blink in overtime, the Buffs fell 2-1 to the Huskies.
CU freshman Emily Paxton tied the game at 1-1 with just over eight minutes left in regulation. Just over 30 seconds into overtime, Washington claimed their first Pac-12 win of the season.
"I thought we played with a lot of heart, and it felt so good to get that goal, but then I thought all the emotion after we scored caused us to let down a little bit," Paxton said.
Colorado outshot Washington 18-15, but the Huskies had twice as many corner kicks (eight to four). With 11 shutouts between the two teams this season, defense was key.
CU's stellar goalkeeper Annie Brunner had four saves in the loss. The Buffs couldn't find the answer to netting balls against the Pac-12's leading saver Kari Davidson, who had five saves in Friday's game.
The Buffs had a hard time reaching the net in the first half, but came back strong after the break, making Davidson earn all her saves in the second half.
In just their second loss of the season, the Buffs fall to 6-2-3 overall (0-1-1 Pac-12). Washington improves to 8-2-1 (1-1).
Washington and Colorado fought for possession throughout the first half, with the Huskies grabbing the upper hand in the 20th minute.
With 30 minutes remaining, Hayley Hughes crossed the ball to Anne Stuller who was blocked, something the UW defense would do multiple times before halftime.
Just minutes later, from midfield, Quinn Krier found Hughes open near the net, but once again Washington's defense stopped the Buffs.
The Huskies began to dominate on offense, culminating in a goal at the 19:05 mark. Allie Beahan shot one into the far post too fast for Brunner to get the stop.
Washington kept attacking, and with less than 16 remaining took another shot. Christina Archer hit one high, and Brunner tipped it away, grabbing her first save of the game.
Stuller took five shots in the first half alone (eight total in the game), but had another blocked with 13 minutes remaining in the half. Davidson struggled to keep control of the ball, but no Buffs were able to capitalize.
UW took a pair of corners in the closing minutes, but the Buffs defense kept the game at 1-0 going into the break.
The Buffs came out hot after halftime. Less than two minutes in, Madison Krauser rushed to the net and sent one just wide. Minutes later, Stuller faced the same fate.
"We played well in the second half, I thought," head coach Danny Sanchez said. "In the first half we came out kind of tentative. But, in the second half I'm not sure if they [Washington] had a lot of quality looks at the goal and we had about two or three, and we scored on one of them."
Stuller showed her strength in free kicks, getting one right at the goal, and forcing Davidson's first save of the game.
The Huskies took five corners in the second half, but Brunner and the CU defense were quick on saves and blocks. With less than 25 minutes remaining in the half, Beahan tried to get her second goal of the game, but was shut down by freshman Heather Ward.
CU picked up momentum in the final 20 minutes of regulation. A couple free kicks for the Buffs helped catch Davidson off guard in the following plays. There were 13 minutes on the clock when Darcy Jerman got it to Krauser who made Davidson work hard for another save. A minute later, Jerman took a shot of her own.
This helped the Buffs build up necessary steam, and at the 81:22 mark, they tied things up. Colorado worked the pitch, with Jerman crossing the ball to captain Amy Barczuk. Barczuk sent one at the keeper, and while Davidson was still recovering, Emily Paxton took advantage of the situation to score her first goal as a Buff.
"I saw that it was a great ball," Paxton said. "Amy (Barczuk) came into the box real aggressive. I thought she was going to score at first but then I saw the rebound, and I was right in front of the goal. So, I took a shot."
The game stayed tight in the closing minutes of regulation, but it wasn't until overtime that the Huskies proved dominant. Just 32 seconds into extra time, UW's leading scorer Lindsay Elston won the game. With Washington rapidly attacking, the Buffs couldn't stop the Huskies and Elston got one past Brunner on the right edge of the net.
"I think what it was the service came in, and a player kind of whiffed at it," Sanchez said. "I think everyone was ready for that shot and didn't expect the ball to kind of trickle to the far post. A player was there, so I think at the end of the day it was more of, they put the ball in a dangerous spot and when you do that, things happen for you."
Despite the home field loss, Sanchez said his team has to move forward and keep games tight against Pac-12 opponents.
"Every game is going to be competitive, hopefully," Sanchez said. "Washington State, last Thursday, tied UCLA. UCLA is one of the top two or three programs in the country. So, we can't feel sorry for ourselves right now. We have to get back at it tomorrow, talk about Washington State, and come out strong on Sunday."
To finish up the weekend the Buffs will face Washington State on Sunday at 2:30 p.m. Be sure to stick around after Sunday's game for a special autograph session with the team! Remember general admission and parking are FREE for CU Soccer games.

Magnifying Mirrors: A Necessary Horror
A magnifying mirror is indispensable to have on hand when you need to take a closer look. It will aid you in removing an eyelash stuck in your eye, it will help you when you want to remove a few stray hairs from your eyebrow area, or check out that weird red spot in the middle of your forehead. However, one may take the magnifying mirror-gazing too far. It's easy to start out with the "how did those three hairs get on my chin!
Oh my god, have I been walking around like that?" and wind up staring in horror as we discover new lines, new veins shot through our eyes, hairs coming out of moles we've never seen before, and mustaches we never knew we had.
Yes, it's helpful for applying eyeliner, but just remember, before you fall down the rabbit hole of magnification, that you don't need to use your magnifying mirror to apply the rest of your makeup. Your friends, in all likelihood, do not have X-ray vision. Many of them are incrementally losing their eyesight, just like you. Those who still have the perfect use of their eyes are probably not going to use their gift of sight to inspect your upper lip, unless you have accidentally left some food there.
Presumably no one is looking at you with a magnifying glass. If they are inspecting you with a magnifying glass, they probably wear a tweed hat and call themselves Sherlock. Your friends and acquaintances won't necessarily focus obsessively on that one area between your eyebrows, even though you may be spending hours in that very pursuit. People generally tend to take in the whole picture.
Think of yourself as a lovely impressionist painting. People, by and large, don't stare at the brushstrokes in one corner of the canvas; they stand back and assess the painting. When people look at you, they will notice the whole pleasing effect of your features working together. They'll probably notice how your eyes crinkle up in a lovely way when you smile, and how your hair looks nice like that, and what a good laugh you have. They will probably be more interested in what you're saying than how your makeup is applied, although if it looks as if you applied it with a trowel, they may notice that. You don't need to apply your makeup with a trowel, and if you don't stare too long in the magnifying mirror you'll apply it with a much lighter hand. Step away from the magnifying mirror.
Instead, give yourself a brief overview in a regular mirror, preferably one with a natural light source nearby. Of course use the magnifying mirror, if you need it; but use it judiciously. Make it your friend. It will be there for you when you need to do the detail-oriented stuff, but do not let it mesmerize you into thinking that your eyebrows could really use some plucking, because what looks like "really could use some plucking" to a magnifying mirror looks like regular eyebrows to a real mirror. And if you believe the magnifying mirror, you will find yourself with two very thin, very surprised-looking arches hovering above your lovely eyes. So, don't use the magnifying mirror to shape your eyebrows, only to get a few stray hairs.
Magnifying mirrors are handy, however; I treasure mine, and wish I could find a small one to take with me when I travel, because they're especially useful if you're away from home and out of your usual routine. Things start . . . growing in places. Things do perhaps need a little plucking and trimming and taming. But restrain your hand, and don't be overzealous with the plucking. Remember that to normal eyes, you look fine, really.

Harrity Victory Highlights Championship Effort For Men's Squash Team
Led by an impressive 3-0 win by senior co-captain Todd Harrity over 2012 individual finalist Ramit Tandon, the top-ranked Princeton men's squash team clinched a share of its 18th Ivy League championship with a 9-0 sweep of Columbia Sunday afternoon at the Jadwin Squash Courts.
The Princeton men's squash team shook off its disappointing 5-4 road loss at fifth-ranked Cornell and didn't lose any focus on the final stop of its Ivy League title chase. The Tigers won 27 of 30 individual games against Columbia, which is in its second year as an Ivy League program.
Princeton will share the title against the winner of the Harvard-Yale match, which was postponed from this weekend because of the winter storm. The Tigers defeated both teams during the season, a 5-4 home win over Harvard and a 6-3 road win at Yale.
While most of the matches were fairly convincing wins for the more experienced Tigers, the battle at the No. 1 position was a far different story. Tandon went 2-0 against Harrity last season, including a win in the CSA semifinal that ended Harrity's opportunity to defend his 2011 championship. Harrity earned his first collegiate win over Tandon in three tight games, including a 13-11 win in the opener.
The rest of the team took care of business, including fellow senior co-captain Steve Harrington, who closed out Kyul Rhee in three games to win his match at No. 5.
Princeton has one more regular season match remaining, and it's certain to draw plenty of attention. The Tigers will host second-ranked Trinity Saturday at 2 pm in the first meeting since Princeton ended the 13-year championship reign of the Bantams last year.

Welcome to my Fabulous Mid-Life Crisis- Vegas Style Casino Party (48 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
Welcome to my fabulous midlife crisis birthday party.... Vegas Style. A few close friends and I joke that we are going through a pre midlife crisis, so when my birthday come around this year I thought it would be fun to have a midlife crisis party and also incorporate Vegas. I absolutely LOVE how it turned out and everyone had a great gambling and munching at the "Lost Ages" buffet. The parties saying was "What happens at Debbie's party- stays at Debbie's birthday party".
For the atmosphere I want it to fee like a hotel & Casino.... the "Lost Ages" Hotel and Casino. I was playing off of Lost Wages, as that is what some people call Vegas, but wanted to stick with the Ages/ Midlife crisis theme still. I set up tables for game playing and I wanted them to look like real gambling tables so they had green felt on the top and red skirting. This also match the dessert table.
The dessert bar had the a large backdrop poster of the famous Vegas Sign.... Welcome to my fabulous midlife crisis. We has so many fun sweets and treats. I made Sprinkles Bakes Peanut Butter Cup Chocolate Cake Cheesecake! It was so incredibly delicious! We decorated it with king and queen toppers and chocolate poker chips that I homemade. We also had all 4 suits sugar cookies and then chocolate chip cookies in favor bags that were also all 4 suits. Later we made icecream sandwiches out of the suit chocolate chip cookies. Elvis cupcakes, which are banana and peanutbutter frosting with bacon bits in the banana cupcake batter, Homemade marshmallow "dice", Red Liquor-ish, little shot glasses of chicklets (they looked like bingo balls) and my favorite dessert.... olive cake pops. I took an oversized martin glass and filled with red candy, Then placed the "olive" cake pops in there! It was the hit of the night for sure! We had die boxes for them to fill up with treats and take home.
For favors I made little note pads like you would find in a hotel room with Lost Ages, Hotel and Casino at the top and What happens at Debbie's birthday- stays at Debbie's birthday at the bottom. These were also placed at every game table as this is how we kept score for some of the games and rules were written on.
The buffet had a vegetable and fruit platter, chips and my favorite olive dip, rice, squash and zucchini, sweet pepper sliced chicken and sliced steak and rolls.
We also have a non Mid-life Crisis collection for a Welcome to my faboulous Birthday party- Vegas Casino Style!

Published: Tuesday, November 20, 2012 at 9:34 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, November 20, 2012 at 9:34 p.m.
A 79-year-old man was hit in Deltona by a vehicle as he tried to cross a street to get his dog that had gotten out of his house, authorities said Tuesday night.
He is Gilfredo Martinez-Maysonet, said sheriff's spoksman Brandon Haught Wednesday.
The crash is still under investigation and not much information was immediately available, Haught said.
However, preliminary information in dispatch reports show Martinez-Maysonet was struck by the vehicle at the intersection of Alexander Avenue and Doyle Road at 5:48 p.m.
A witness told dispatchers that Martinez-Maysonet was trying to retrieve a dog that got lose from his residence. He crossed Doyle Road in front of the car.
The witness said the vehicle did everything to avoid hitting the man but was unable to avoid colliding into Martinez-Maysonet, dispatch reports show.
Martinez-Maysonet, who was reportedly bleeding from the mouth, was airlifted to Halifax Health Medical Center in Daytona Beach. His condition was not immediately known Wednesday.

3 Cheese Macaroni
16 oz. package 99.99 cent elbow macaroni (substitute rigatoni or penne tube pasta to impress)
8 oz. each of 99.99 cent cheddar, swiss, and mozzarella (or any type you can find)
2 tablespoons flour
2 1/2 cups milk (whole or 2%)
1/2 cup 99.99 cent white wine (or pasta water)
1 tbsp. Dijon mustard or 1 tsp. of dried mustard
pepper to taste (cheese has enough salt already)
Extra ingredient -- top with one cup of 99.99 cent bread crumbs
Set aside about a 1/2 cup of extra cheese as topping. In a pot, heat flour and slowly whisk in milk then add cheese, stirring until melted, about 15 minutes. In another pot, boil macaroni 5-8 minutes until al dente; drain and set aside. In a large casserole dish mix macaroni and melted cheese mixture and sprinkle extra cheese over dish. Bake uncovered for 20 - 30 minutes at 350 degrees until top is golden brown (cooked covered half the time for a more creamy version). Remove from oven when done and allow to stand for 5 minutes as sauce thickens. *If too dry, make a split down the middle and pour in a 1/4 to 1/2 cup of milk.
Next up is a festive holiday video " Eggnog and Trimming the Tree". The Chef invites you to sample his homemade spiked concoction. Using fresh ingredients and airline bottles of booze, this budget mixologist sacrifices his sobriety to bring you a fresh cocktail recipe, segueing into a tipsy tree trimming.

But I NEVER see any of those fancy cheeses at my store. Perhaps I donlt go there enough. How often do you go?

Hi Kimsue, I go about once or twice a week on average, and I hit different stores as stock varies. Some cheese deals are only stocked for a day, so serendipity plays a big part. My freezer is stocked with bargains including cheese; so some of my recipe ingredient deals may have passed. The main thing is to get it if you see it, and remember you can always return 9 items at a time in 9 days!

Men's Basketball Opens Ivy Play With Win Over Penn
Getting a career-high 23 points from junior T.J. Bray, the Princeton men's basketball team beat rival Penn 65-53 Saturday night in Jadwin Gym to open Ivy League play.
Princeton pulled back to .500 on the season at 7-7, now having won four of its last five games. Penn fell to 2-13 on the season overall and ran its losing skid to eight games.
The Quakers scored the game's first basket on a 3-pointer by Greg Louis just before two minutes were gone, but the Tigers followed that with an 11-1 run and never trailed. Princeton's lead got as large as 20 with a little more than three minutes gone in the second half on one of Bray's six three-pointers, a season-high total for any Princeton player.
It was the fourth time in his career, and second time this season including the Kent State game on Dec. 1, that Bray has led the Tigers in scoring. The win gave Princeton its 18th straight Ivy League home victory, the program's longest such streak since 1999.
The victory also made the Princeton Class of 2013, led tonight by 13 points from Ian Hummer and an eight-point effort off the bench from Mack Darrow, the first class since 1992 to sweep four games from Penn in Jadwin Gym. The Classes of 1991 and 1992 were the only two previously to do so in the four-year eligibility era.
Penn snapped Princeton's four-game streak of outrebounding their opponents, edging Princeton 33-32 in that category, and 11 offensive rebounds led to 12 second-chance points for the Quakers.
Princeton's starters carried the load for the Tigers, scoring 57 of the team's 65 points except for the eight from Darrow. It was the opposite for Penn, which saw both of its double-digit scorers, Tony Hicks (16) and Darien Nelson-Henry (11) come off the bench and had no starter score more than six points.
Postgame notes
• Penn leads the long history with Princeton 123-104 now after the 227th meeting, but Princeton has won seven of the last eight meetings.
• Princeton has won five of its last six Ivy League openers. The Tigers have won their last four Ivy League openers that occurred in Jadwin Gym.
• Junior Will Barrett had a career-high 10 rebounds just missing his first career double-double (nine points).
• Princeton is 5-0 when T.J. Bray scores double-digit points.
• The Tigers have shot at least 40 percent from the field in each of the last eight games.
• Princeton tied a season high with 11 3-pointers (Bucknell Dec. 22).
• Princeton has had 17 steals over the last two games, its most over a two-game span since getting a combined 20 at Wagner and Kent State Nov. 28-Dec. 1.
• T.J. Bray's previous career high was 17 at Lafayette on Nov. 24.
• Ian Hummer is now at 1,394 points for his career, good for seventh on the Princeton career list. Brian Earl '99, a current assistant coach, is in sixth at 1,428 points.
• Bray's six 3-pointers were the most for any Tiger since Douglas Davis '12 six in his final game last March 19 at Penn. Bray's six threes also beat his previous career best by two.

San Francisco : Michelin's recommendations
Founded as Mission Dolores (by priests) and the Presidio (by soldiers) in 1776, San Francisco grew from the pueblo of Yerba Buena. In 1835, English sailor William Richardson, married to the daughter of the Presidio comandante, set up a tent where Grant Avenue now runs. Yerba Buena grew modestly on trade, changing its name to San Francisco after the US claimed California in 1846.

Chattanooga native to compete in track and field and play basketball for Lady Bucs
"Tosha's going to come in and make an immediate impact to our program," commented associate head track and field coach Michelle Byrne. "It's gratifying to sign a two-sport athlete. She will not only be able to develop her skills in track and field, but I know coach Kemp and her staff will do the same on the basketball court. She is coming in with an excellent track record and hopefully over time she gets more powerful here at ETSU."
"Tosha is going to walk-on to our Lady Buccaneer team and will contribute with our post play," commented Kemp. "Her athleticism speaks volumes, as she will be a two-sport athlete here at ETSU. She gives us some added depth in the post, and we expect her to be a crasher on the boards."

Back Cover Blurb: (From Author's Website)
Word of Miracula's unique beauty is known far throughout the land. But when
a dark fairie curses her with Desire, it is news of her insatiable lust that
attracts dozens would-be suitors to her door, as one by one they attempt to
break the curse by bringing her utter fulfillment.
Mira, the undisputed beauty of the land with half her face fair of eye and hair and the other half dark as midnight, almost had the perfect fairy tale. She lived with her beloved adopted parents that showered her with all the love and affection that she could ever have wished for. Yet when her rich and proud parents cast a beggar from their table they quickly discover the severity of their actions.
The beggar reveals herself as the Dark Fairie. Mira's parents, desperate to save their daughter from the curse that the Dark Fairie will undoubtedly bestow, begs to the fairie's heart. But the Dark Fairie says that she will not curse Mira for her parent's unthoughtfullness, she will instead gift her with desire. Only when Mira finds complete satisfaction will her parents be saved from ruin.
Immediately upon the Dark Fairy's departure, Mira is overcome by desire. It's not long before suitors near and far arrive to tempt the beautiful Mira and see if they can complete her. Yet no matter how many orgasms that Mira achieves, each coupling ends with her feeling empty. Innocence lost and her parents going mad from losing all the wealth they have come to horde to sudden taxes, Mira is desperate to find completion.
Three months after the Dark Fairie's gift, two men walk into Mira's garden. One fair and one dark. Gerard and Alain have a long history together. Brothers of each others hearts, they were once the best of friends until the Dark Fairie ruined their bond. Now cursed with desire that will not abate until they complete a woman. Hearing of Mira's own gift, the men approach her. Gerard, masterful and requires submissiveness from his partners, commands Mira to serve him. Although his slaps upon her rear sting, Mira finds great pleasure in serving him. Yet she finds the opposite kind of pleasure with Alain. With him, Mira can be mistress and orders Alain about to do even the most mundane of tasks to prove his devotion.
But despite the fact that Mira finds sexual gratification from both men individually, she has yet to feel complete. The men, wanting to fill her emptiness must overcome their own rift to give the beautiful maiden her satisfaction.
'Gilt and Midnight' wasn't what I have come to expect from Megan Hart. While romance isn't necessarily what the author is known for delivering, there is still her talent of evoking considerable emotion into her characters and thereby into her readers. 'Gilt and Midnight' holds no romance. But I'm not knocking it for that reason. 'Naughty Bits' is an anthology of EROTIC shorts so the lack of romance is now doubly expected. But if a story is lacking romance then I at least expect emotion. While still beautifully written, the short lacked any sort of emotion. It is erotic, that's a certainty, yet I expected more from the author that I've admired for a long time. An author that is just so brilliant, in my opinion, with bringing beauty to real life.

DES MOINES, Iowa - Junior Aric Van Halen qualified for the finals in the men's 3,000-meter steeplechase on Thursday after finishing eighth in the second heat of the semifinals at the 2012 NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships.
Van Halen's time of 8 minutes, 42.55 seconds, also a lifetime best, placed him 13th overall, just making the finals as only 14 qualified. The finals are scheduled for Saturday at 10:52 a.m. (MST).
He started the race in the back of the pack, but was able to move up pretty smoothly to run with the lead pack. With about 800 meters remaining in the race, he took the lead, but shortly after dropped back as the field entered the bell lap. Van Halen dug deep and was able to earn a spot in the final round despite not getting one of the top five automatic qualifying positions in the section.
The University of Colorado will have a female in the finals of the steeplechase too. Shalaya Kipp will run on Friday for a chance to win her first NCAA title in the event at 5:30 p.m. The Buffs have won four of the last six women's titles.
The championships will go through Saturday, June 9 and the entire championships will be streamed live on ESPN3.com. Saturday's events also will be televised on ESPNU in a window beginning at 11 a.m. Live results can be accessed on NCAA.com, GoDrakeBulldogs.com and flashresults.com.
