"'I Walk the Line' was a hit in November of 1956, that's about a year before I was born, so it really is a part of the world that I know. But that's the way it seems with great songs and great artists. Their impact on people is such that you can't imagine what the world would be like or sound like without them."
That was Lyle Lovett describing the first Johnny Cash song he ever heard, when he inducted Cash at the 1992 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony (watch video of Lyle Lovett inducting Johnny Cash into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame).
"I Walk the Line" hit Number One on the country Billboard charts and crossed over into the pop Top 20. Nearly six decades after "I Walk the Line" – and more than a decade after his passing in 2003 at age 71 – new, never-before-heard material from The Man in Black is scheduled for release in Spring 2014.
Pictured (l-r): 1943 Martin acoustic guitar played by Johnny Cash during his Sun Records recording sessions from 1955 to 1958; c.1955 suit worn by Johnny Cash during his time with Sun Records. Both are on view in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum's Cities and Sounds exhibit, in the Memphis section.
On March 25, 2014, Cash's estate will release Out Among the Stars, an album he recorded with Billy Sherrill in the early 1980s that was never released by Columbia Records, according to Billboard. During the time this album was recorded, Sherrill was pushing Cash towards a countrypolitan sound, which is closer to the pop genre than Cash's earlier works.
John Carter Cash, Cash's son, told Billboard about his dad and where this albums sound came from: "Dad was always uniquely himself," Cash said. "And later on the world would come back around. He never modified himself. But Nashville at the time was in a completely different place. It was the `Urban Cowboy' phase. It was pop country, and dad was not that. I think him working with Billy was sort of an effort by the record company to put him more in the circle of Music Row and see what could happen at the heart of that machine."
In a career that spanned half a century, Cash worked with a number of other Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductees, including Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen, sold more than 50 million records, had songs on both the country and pop charts and was able to remain himself through it all.
"We were so excited when we discovered this," John Carter Cash said. "We were like, my goodness this is a beautiful record that nobody has ever heard. Johnny Cash is in the very prime of his voice for his lifetime. He's pitch perfect. It's seldom where there's more than one vocal take. They're a live take and they're perfect."

Detroit craft brewery considers expansion into Wilmington
Published: Tuesday, April 23, 2013 at 5:44 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, April 23, 2013 at 5:44 p.m.
This is a corrected version of an earlier story
Atwater Brewery at a glance
Founded in Detroit in March 1997
Distributes in about 15 states
2011 revenue tripled from $1.2 million to a projected $3.5 million this year
Sources: atwaterbeer.com, beerpulse.com
A Detroit-based brewery is interested in opening a beer-making and bottling operation in Wilmington.
Mayor Bill Saffo confirmed Tuesday that the company, Atwater Brewery, is exploring opening in the Port City.
If it opened up in Wilmington, Atwater would need 75,000 square feet for the operation and could hire between 30 and 70 employees, he said.
An Atwater official, however, said Tuesday that the brewer was "in the very early exploratory stages" of making a decision.
Atwater is not seeking to relocate operations, but rather to expand.
"We just know that we are going to outgrow our current situation in the next couple of years," said Jason Schrider, the company's operations director. "We like the area, and have a strong relationship with our distributor," Greg Leone of Freedom Beverage.
"We feel like we should be exploring locations outside of Detroit," he continued. "We have really growing distribution in the East and going south," adding that Wilmington is well-placed to serve that market.
"It has the kind of cultural environment for a brewery to thrive in."
East Coast presence
On Monday, the mayor and Roger Johnson, a city economic development official, met with a local real estate broker and Atwater's distributor to discuss the possibility of bringing a brewery to Wilmington.
Although Saffo characterized the meeting as preliminary and fact-finding, he added that "it seems like they're pretty interested."
Saffo said they liked the Port City's proximity to central North Carolina in addition to Virginia and South Carolina.
If Atwater opened up a facility in Wilmington, it would give the craft brewery an East Coast presence in addition to its Detroit operations, Saffo said.
At the Monday meeting, the brewery's representatives asked if Wilmington would be interested in a brewery.
"Of course I said yes," Saffo said.
He has spoken with the mayor of Asheville about its breweries, which draw people for tastings. Atwater could also open a tap room, where people come to taste beers.
"I think it's something that would go over real well down here," Saffo said.
Atwater's representatives were interested in sites near downtown Wilmington, the mayor said.
They asked about incentives.
"We said, 'We don't know if you qualify,' " Saffo said, adding that it would depend on the company's investment in the area, such as how many jobs it created.
'White hot'
Atwater is planning a Wilmington trip June 6-8.
"We are going to come down to do a bunch of events and meet people and see some properties," Schrider said.
Craft breweries have been "white hot," said P.J. Doherty of Carolina Commercial Investment Properties, who is working with J. Michael Hutson – owner of J. Michael's Philly Delis – and distributor Leone on a deal to bring Atwater here.
Though the brewery has major funding, it will be looking for local, small investors, Doherty said.
Funding will affect the site chosen and whether the facility will be purchased, leased or built, he added.
"We are talking about what potential incentives may be available," Doherty said, and the site may play a part in that as well.
And, Wilmington might have its own beers.
"Anywhere we were to go," Schrider said, "we would be looking to make labels for our own market."

As the boomer generation moves onward through the milestones of life, 1960s nostalgia holds tremendous meaning today. And nothing more eloquently symbolizes the counterculture era than the peace sign. How did this simple sketch become so powerful an image? Peace: The Biography of a Symbol tells the surprising story of the sign in words and pictures, from its origins in the nuclear disarmament efforts of the late 1950s to its adoption by the antiwar movement of the 1960s, through its stint as a mass-marketed commodity and its enduring relevance now.
As the symbol's popularity blossomed, so did an entire generation, and author Ken Kolsbun's expertly selected imagesfrom his own collections as well as a variety of historical archivesillustrate both the sign itself and the larger history that it helped to shape. Along the way, the book recounts the controversy inspired by the peace symbol, bringing to light several trials that challenged its very existence. Drawing on exclusive archival interviews with Gerald Holtom, the late creator of the symbol, Peace recounts its birth and goes on to build a historic portrait using both iconic and rarely seen photographs.
Ken Kolsbun is a photographer, writer, historian, peace activist, game inventor, landscape architect, baseball fan, bicyclist, mail-order catalog designer, husband, and father. Kolsbun continues to be active in the peace movement and is an authority on the peace symbol itself.
Michael S. Sweeney is a professor of journalism at Utah State University. He is the award-winning author of the acclaimed book Secrets of Victory, which was named 2001 Book of the Year by the American Journalism Historians Association, and of the National Geographic book God Grew Tired of Us, with Jon Bul Dau.
"Five decades later, Holtom's design is everywhere, from beach towels to postage stamps to graffiti scribbled on bridges and underpasses across the U.S."Chicago Tribune
"The book is enhanced by numerous photos, some chillingly familiar, some simply nostalgic."The Associated Press

Thirty-one fifth grade students from the Crowley County school system arrived at Otero Junior College on April 16 for a chance to get a taste of college life.
The visit began with a lunch of pizza and pop in McBride hall. Following lunch, the students toured campus with tour guides Cade Sallee, an OJC freshman from Fowler, and Sara Coblentz, an OJC freshman from Gunnison. Highlights of the tour included McDivitt Center gym, the fitness center, Student Services, the Rattlers' Den food court and Conley and Wunsch Hall Dorms.
At the conclusion of the tour, students were led through team building activities by members of OJC's President's Leadership Program: Chi-Ann Wiseman, a freshman from Cheraw; Kendra Taylor, a freshman from Fowler; and Lauren Connel, a freshman from Tucson, Ariz. The team leaders led students through a variety of exercises designed to elicit teamwork and leadership skills and draw attention to each member's individual strengths.
Ashley Watkins, Otero Junior College recruiter who helped facilitate the group's campus visit, described it as successful. "The students were so enthusiastic! They asked great questions during the tour," said Watkins. "During the teambuilding activities, every student participated and they really got involved. We hope their visit to OJC left them with as great an impression as they left on us."

NAMI is refocusing its efforts and returning to its roots in research advocacy—looking for better treatments and models both at the brain science and service levels. We now have quarterly meetings with Dr. Tom Insel, director of the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), to continue to learn from the latest in science and to advocate for better treatments for our membership. NIMH also needs more resources, which is another of our advocacy challenges.
Fortunately, NIMH has refocused its work upon better connecting with the public health burden and real-life challenges of people living with serious mental illness. Dr. Insel said he heard one message loud and clear from our membership at the 2010 convention in Washington, D.C.—that we need better treatments. A few areas from the NIMH discussions I found interesting:
- A major iniative is dedicated to reconceptualizing the way brain functions work—and don't work—together based on new data in neuroscience and genetics. Examples of the new conceptual model being developed (Research Domain Criteria—or RDoC ) organize everything we know about brain structure genetics and functions along key lines such as learning, memory or fear. The idea is to supplement the current diagnostic schema undergoing revision by the American Psychiatric Association (APA) with additional knowledge gleaned from basic research. I was drawn to this approach as it may yield a return on the genetic research that, while stimulating for science overall, has produced few tangible advances for our members.
- NIMH has sponsored research on ketamine as a possible antidepressant. This is a complex medication used in anesthesia and also a street drug (special K) that offers interesting models for the treatment of depression, especially bipolar depression, which is notoriously hard to impact. The search for better medications to treat serious mental illness is of course a principle NAMI advocacy point.
I can't express how amazing our membership is. When people need Family-to-Family they are typically in a crisis. This selfless and heroic spirit of helping others to test how effective the program is speaks volumes about who our members are—truly giving individuals willing to put their own needs on hold to make a larger difference.

The Community Organization for Drug Education is continuing its mission of supporting Stuttgart students and promoting drug education throughout area schools with donations to local groups.
CODE board members approved $1,000 donations to both Y.E.S. (Youth Empowered to Succeed) and COPY (Community Outreach Programs for our Youth).
Y.E.S. is a non-profit organization that provides education programs to encourage individuals to make healthy choices by avoiding high-risk behaviors such as pre-martial sex, underage drinking, alcohol abuse, drug use and violence. THRIVE, a Y.E.S. program, provides information and support to young mothers and parenting teens.
COPY distributes backpacks and school supplies to Stuttgart students during its annual Back to School Extravaganza.
In an effort to encourage Stuttgart youth to stay away from smoking, CODE purchased tickets for Park Avenue Elementary students to attend the Arkansas Travelers' Anti-Tobacco Kids Day game.
CODE members also discussed gifts for graduating Stuttgart High School seniors and thanked the City of Stuttgart for its recent $2,500 donation to the group.
The next CODE meeting will be held May 15 in the boardroom at the Stuttgart Schools District Administration Building.

Happy Cinco De Mayo!
I have to admit that Mexican candy isn't something I'm terribly familiar with, so I've always been very curious about them. I was given the opportunity to try some back last July when I went to Mercado Chocolate Loco with Cybele at Universal City Walk in Los Angeles. Inside the store was filled to the brim with candy and souvenirs, a majority of them from Mexico. There were large barrels filled with loose pieces that I paws through, looking for as many different kinds to try. I found many standard varieties: tamarind hard candy, chili powder, sour watermelon candy, and dulce de la lech lollipops just to name a few.
What ended up being the treasure of my time in the Mercado was what was sitting in a beautiful glass display case in the back of the store. In there was the real authentic stuff. Blocks of solid dulce de la leche, balls of tamarind pulp, candied root vegetables and citrus fruits. I wish I could remember everything in the display, but it's sadly been so long. I do remember being quite transfixed with all the options and just stood there drooling at all the delicious possibilities.
I ended up limiting myself to four pieces:
Ducle De La Leche: It came in a rectangular log, with a nice light creamy brown color. The flavor is very rich ad sweet: notes of caramel, cream and sugar and a yogurty tang. The texture is so smooth, dense and rich with no hint of grain at all. I'm reminded of a really good penuche fudge.
Tamarind Ball: Just a ball of tamarind paste with granulated sugar. At a quick glance, it looks like a large doughnut ball. The texture is moist, dense and chewy with a grain from the sugar. It's like eating cookie dough that isn't finished yet. The flavor is awesome: it tastes of tart raisins and develops this steady sourness that I can only relate to Sour Patch Kids. It's a sharp sourness, but it's not to strong so it's easily handled, and has notes of lemons and tart cherries. It's lovely, I really like it.
Sweet Potato: Texture is soft with bits of crunch on the edges where the sugar has crystallized. It tastes of Thanksgiving: sweet potato with that roasted starchy flavor with a lot of sweetness to it.
Candied Pumpkin: Yellower in color than the sweet potato. I looked forward to this one the most as I am a pumpkin fiend! The texture of this is much softer and more wet, and has the same crunchy sugar edges which are a little harder. The flavor doesn't remind me of pumpkin at all, but more of dried papaya with strong fruity notes and slight juiciness.
I was impressed. It just goes to show that unusual and simple are a tasty combination. I only wish I had a place around me here in New Jersey where I could continue to sample more Mexican confectionery. If you are just as interested as I am, I recommend reading this post on Mexican candy from Malena at the Candy From Strangers blog. Drool!

It's no wonder that all roads lead to the fascinating and maddening metropolis of Athens. Lift your eyes 200 feet above the city to the Parthenon, its honey-color marble columns rising from a massive limestone base, and you behold architectural perfection that has not been surpassed in 2,500 years. But, today, this shrine of classical form dominates a 21st-century boomtown. To experience Athens—Athína in Greek—fully is to understand the essence of Greece: ancient monuments surviving in a sea of cement, startling beauty amid the squalor, tradition juxtaposed with modernity. Locals depend on humor and flexibility to deal with the chaos; you should do the same. The rewards are immense.
Reasons to Go
The Acropolis: An ancient beacon of bygone glory rising above Athens's smog, this iconic citadel represents everything the Athenians were and still aspire to be.
Evzones on Syntagma Square: Unmistakable in tasseled hats and pom-pom shoes, they act out a traditional changing of the guard that falls somewhere between discipline and comedy.
The Ancient Agora and Monastiraki: Socrates and Plato once discoursed—and scored excellent deals on figs—at the Agora, and today you can do the same at the nearby Monastiraki marketplace.
Opa!: Whether jamming to post-grunge in Gazi—Athens's Greenwich Village—or dirty dancing on the tables at live bouzouki clubs, the Athenians party like no one else.
Benaki Bounty: Housed in a neoclassic mansion, the Benaki Museum—Greece's oldest private collection—has everything from ancient sculpture to modern art.
When to Go
Athens often feels like a furnace in summer, due to the capital's lack of parks and millions of circulating cars. Mornings between 7 am and 9 am or evenings after 5 pm are often pleasant but temperatures can still hover in the 90s during heat waves. The capital is far more pleasant in spring and fall. The sunlight is bright but bearable, the air feels crisp and invigorating, and even the famously surly Athenians are friendlier. Winters are mild here, just as they are in all of Greece: it rains but rarely snows, so a light coat is all that is needed.

A Mankato woman is charged with arranging the beating of her husband by two men with aluminum baseball bats.
Prosecutors say 24-year-old Ashley Stillwell had an argument with her husband over bills on Jan. 8, left the house and returned with the two men.
A criminal complaint says the men struck Gary Stillwell several times with the bats in front of his children. Investigators say one of the children confirmed their father was attacked by men with bats. Ashley Stillwell is charged with second-degree assault with a dangerous weapon.
The Free Press (http://bit.ly/WHJS0R ) says no others have currently been charged in the case.

I want to use the sample NavMapControl on the PC which is in the direction below:

There are two issues in the program:
Firstly, when I put an angle in the GUI box and press rotate, the rotation is not precise, although I have put the right dimensions for my NXT. Actually, the angle that the robot is rotated is the 2/3 of the angle that I put.
Secondly, when I put two integers to x and y GUI boxes and then press Go XY, nothing happens.
Note that the connection between the PC and the NXT works fine.
Please help me!
Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Are traditional assumptions about how we "do" philanthropy preventing us from finding new and better ways of working?
Success stories about social change rarely start with large guns. But, as it turns out, there's a lot that philanthropy can learn from looking at the history of artillery—the cannons that would get drawn to the edge of a battlefield, first by horses and later by large trucks, to shell the enemy from a distance.
According to military folklore, shortly before World War II the US and British armies conducted a joint exercise and came to a strange realization: The American artillery team fired just a little bit faster than the British squad every time. They analyzed the process MORE ››

But if the large crowd at the pARTy for Rape Recovery on April 29 was a sign, the RRC at least has the community's support. All proceeds in a silent and live auctions held at the Emma Eccles Conservatory at Westminster College, went to the organization.
"We have a few sponsors underwriting it, so every cent goes to our services, hospital response, call center and therapy," says Heather Stringfellow, executive director of the center.
[caption id="attachment_18696" align="alignnone" width="500" caption="Heather Stringfellow"][/caption]
The silent auction ran for two hours with some pretty awesome items for bid: a semester at the Visual Arts Institute, Real Salt Lake star Will Johnson's jersey along with four front row seats and 2010 highlights and so much more. Bigger ticket items were saved for the live auction with auctioneers Troy D'Ambrosio and Frank Pignanelli.
Anyone short on cash could enter the $10 raffle with big prizes, including food from eight of Utah's top restaurants, Southwest airline tickets and a Murdock Travel Cruise or a week stay at Snowbird.
The super-delicious food was from Sodexo at Westminster College.
Of course, pARTy was spelled the way it was for a reason. More than 40 local artists donated their work for the auction.
The art with the strongest impact wasn't for sale though.
Every year, during sexual assault awareness month (April), the RRC holds an art night for survivors and allies to create art to express their emotions on sexual violence. This year, 28 pieces were at the fundraiser. The art covered a wall at the conservatory, titled Expressions of Healing.
"They reminded people why they were there," says therapist Robin Friedman. "And the feedback has been powerful. People have found hope and healing in this art."
Last year's Expressions of Healing art is hanging at the City & County Building.
In addition to the art nights, the RRC also held recent programs on sexual violence toward men. About 1/4 of women are affected by sexual violence, and 1/6 of men are as well but are a lot less likely to come forward about it.
Therapist Jim Struve has run a male survivor's group for three years. "Lately, there's been an increase in men seeking help," says Struve, who's also a part of Male Survivor, a national organization. Find out more at malesurvivor.org.
Theresa Ashman has been volunteering for 3 1/2 years and started with the Rape Recovery Center last summer. She was honored as this year's Volunteer of the Year. She helps in many aspects, including the crisis line and hospital visits.
[caption id="attachment_18695" align="alignnone" width="345" caption="Theresa Ashman"][/caption]
"The first time I knocked on someone's hospital door, I didn't know what to expect," she says. "Now, I just really like to help somebody during a bad part in her life." That first hospital ended with her singing Journey songs with the client, something she'll remember the rest of her life.
"We'll assist anyone who's experienced any sexual violence any time in their life," says clinical director Diana Thomas. "We see men, women, all walks of life."

On Sunday October 7, cities and towns across American will hold the annual "Life Chain," in which, people stand on public sidewalks holding signs calling for an end to abortion.
Often, lives are directly saved when people who are ambivalent about abortion witness how many people care about them and their unborn children.
Some cities have held LifeChain events for over two decades; while others will have a LifeChain for the first time this year.
In many places, there will be many children participating – they are survivors who could have been aborted — and they are aware that as they speak up for the unborn, they also speak up for themselves.
Please join Life Chain; see priestsforlife.org for details.

The fifth-ranked Husky women's team won with a meet record 19 points, with Oregon State following with 58 points, then Idaho with 87, Gonzaga with 110, Seattle U. with 120, Washington State with 146, and Eastern Washington with 219 points. The Husky men outdueled their cross-state rivals, winning with 30 points while Washington State scored 52, with Gonzaga third with 55, Idaho fourth with 95, and Seattle U. in fifth with 148 points.
Flood, an All-American and the 2011 Pac-12 cross country champion, had never competed in the Sundodger until today, and made her debut look like a routine morning job, as she was straight to the front, and broke away about halfway through the 6,000-meter race. Flood, who redshirted the outdoor track season this past spring, waltzed down the final straight sporting a big grin, crossing in 20-minutes, 25-seconds, and winning by a gap of 19 seconds. It's the sixth-fastest time in meet history.
"Our women's team has got a great energy and vibe right now and they were really good today," said Head Coach Greg Metcalf. "So far this season they've handled themselves like pros, and it was a very calm, cool effort today. That's what we expect of them. Katie Flood looked fantastic and it was great to see the freshman Katie Knight mixing it up in her first race. Maddie Meyers and Liberty Miller also had their best season-openers today."
The Husky women had four of the top-five finishers, as freshman Katie Knight made her collegiate debut with a third-place finish in 20:47, right alongside senior Liberty Miller and sophomore Maddie Meyers who were fourth and fifth in nearly identical times. Junior Eleanor Fulton capped UW's team scoring with a 10th-place finish in 21:15. Senior Justine Johnson was close behind in 12th, and freshman Kaylee Flanagan made the top-seven in her debut with a 13th-place finish. Sophomore Erin Johnson also had a strong showing in her first cross country race in two years, as she was 16th in 21:46.
Nelson added to the consecutive individual victory streak for the Husky men's team, as he won the first collegiate cross country race of his career. It's the fifth straight year that a Husky has posted the win in the men's invite. The junior from Walla Walla was 14th in this race as a freshman, then fifth last season, and moved up to the winner's circle today. The lead pack only began to break up in the latter third of the 8,000-meter race, with Nelson and teammate Tyler King going to the lead. Nelson made the decisive move late, and sprinted down the stretch to hold off Isaac Chavez of Chico State, winning in a time of 23:50, ninth-fastest in meet history.
King moved up from seventh a year ago to third this season in a time of 24:05. The next Husky across was freshman Sumner Goodwin, who competed unattached today but almost certainly earned his way into the travel lineup going forward by virtue of his fourth-place finish in 24:08. The third scorer for UW was sophomore Meron Simon, in his first race back from a redshirt year. Simon was seventh in 24:12.
Another freshman, Andrew Gardner of Spokane, came in 14th in his collegiate debut in 24:18, and junior Aaron Beattie capped the Husky scoring with a 19th-place finish in 24:28. Right in front of Beattie came two more newcomers competing unattached: freshman Colby Gilbert in 17th and sophomore transfer Izaic Yorks in 18th. Yet another newcomer, Jacob Smith, crossed in 24:31 for 21st-place, the sixth official Husky finisher.
"We had a lot of really strong efforts today on the men's side," said Metcalf. "Aaron Nelson, getting the win, hopefully that's a sign of some great things to come for him. Our men's group is very cohesive and fired up right now. The freshman group has instantly affected our team just walking onto our campus."
One of the biggest improvements from last year to today came from redshirt freshman Blake Nelson. The Mill Creek native was 49th a year ago in 26:16, and jumped up to 23rd today in 24:33. Redshirt frosh Nick Harris also cut nearly a minute off his time from a year ago, as he was 30th overall in 24:43.
Right behind Harris came freshman A.J. Yarnall (31st) competing unattached, and sophomore Tim Cummings (33rd). Freshman Jamie Coughlin was 35th unattached.
Today was it for the Huskies in Seattle, as the rest of the season takes them on the road. The first stop will be down in Oregon for the Bill Dellinger Invitational on Oct. 5.

The Learning Lab
Spotlight on the Poetry Foundation's Learning Lab--an excellent source of reference for students of poetry.
The Learning Lab takes as a point of departure something Robert Frost once wrote about poetry: "It begins in delight and ends in wisdom." The Lab encourages students to attend to individual poems with a focus that's rare on the internet--and at the same time provides instructors with a unique range of suplementary material useful in teaching poetry.
Below is a list of Poetry Out Loud poems that the Lab focuses on as core learning poems. Some of these core poems are annotated and come with guides for understanding, discussion questions and writing ideas.

Lower Soccer Field
View Larger Map
Located on Colorado Street across from Bohler Gym, the Lower Soccer Field has been the home of the women's soccer team since the program's inception in 1989. Before 1989, the facility was used for intramural sports and the women's field hockey team.
During soccer matches, students from the overlooking Scott Hall gather on the dorm's decks to watch the match, making the venue a unique setting.
The Lower Soccer Field has always provided the Cougars a home-field advantage. During the 1990 and 1991 seasons, head coach Lisa Fraser's squads compiled a 13-match home winning streak. In 11 different seasons dating back to 1989, the team has won more than 50 percent of its home matches. In all, the program has won nearly 62 percent of the matches played on its home turf.
In 2011, the attendance record for a WSU soccer game was broken twice. On August 28, 1,273 fans watched the Cougars defeat Seattle, 1-0. On October 14, 1,652 boisterous fans watched WSU play to a scoreless draw against No. 4 UCLA.

As seen on the National Geographic Channel.
Price: $19.95
What does it take to build a car that can go from zero to 62 mph in 3.4 seconds and hit a top speed of 211 mph? National Geographic heads to the small farming community in Italy that is home to the main factory for the Lamborghini Murcielago SV to find out.
See how a workforce of 130 people makes the Murcielago's lightweight carbon fiber frame and a 640-horsepower V-12 engine. Much of the work is done by hand, and despite the massive workforce, the factory outputs a mere 2.7 Murcielagos a day. Trace the car's history, starting with its founding by Ferruccio Lamborghini, who, frustrated by a Ferrari's clutch, created his own luxury car and a feud that continues to this day.

Switching Citation Managers
We at the Health Sciences Library encourage all our students to use citation managers to help them store citations, keep notes, and insert properly formatted citations and bibliographies into their papers. Whether you use RefWorks, Endnote, Zotero, or Mendeley, citation managers can make the research and writing process easier.
But each citation manager has its strengths and weaknesses. If you need help picking a citation manager, then please consult the table below which provides an overview of each citation manager. The time may come when you feel that another manager will better suit your needs. This guide will outline the steps that you need to go through in order to switch from one citation manager to another. Since the process for switching from one to another is generally very simple, there is no downside to choosing the perfect product for you.

Home Planet: Unknown
Life Form: Crustacoid
Info: The original Macras were large, able to hold a human in one claw. They were stocky in build, with large eyestalks and large claws. Although they grew over the years and became hundreds of times larger, their intelligence devolved into something much more animalistic.
On one planet, the original Macra's used the Humans as slaves to mine the gases that were vital for their existence. And on New Earth a colony of Macra escaped from the zoo when the power broke down and made their way into the Motorway where they lived on the fumes.
Episodes appeared: The Macra Terror, Gridlock
Midnight Creature
Home Planet: Midnight
Life Form: Unknown
Info: A mysterious, unnamed, and unseen creature, found on the surface of a diamond planet where supposedly no life can ever survive.
It is now believed that the creature is dead, having perished while possessing Sky's body. However, since no one can ever venture out onto the planet, its true fate is unknown.
Episode appeared: Midnight
Home Planet: Nestine Homeworld
Life Form: Liquid plastic-substance, squid-like creature, or illuminating orb
Info: The Nestines were an extraterrestrial, disembodied gestalt intelligence which first arrived on Earth in hollow plastic meteorites. They're among the oldest beings in the universe, described as creatures which existed in the "Dark Times". Their most recent Earth invasion was due to their food supply running out due to a war.
The Nestine's have attempted to take over Earth several times, using their technology to animate shop window dummies (Autons) and other plastic objects and form them into weapons. This control was described as "warp shunt technology", and was formed through telepathic projection. It is believed that the Nestines were aware of the Time War, possibly loosing their planet because of it.
Episodes appeared: Spearhead from Space, Terror of the Autons, Rose
Home Planet: Ood Sphere: Horsehead Nebula
Life Form: Squid-faced humanoid
Info: In the distant future, the Ood are a slave race to humanity, performing menial tasks, and it is claimed that every human has an Ood servant.
As well as their low level psychic resonance, the Ood have also shown to be able to roughly predict the future. It appears that no Ood has a chosen name, or if they do, it is never spoken out loud. The only known Ood to be referred to by name was Ood Sigma.
Episode appeared: Impossible Planet, Satan Pit, Planet of the Ood

You could change the Ood home planet to the "Ood Sphere" and put "Planet of the Ood" under list of appearances =)

After attending a few concerts at Red Butte this summer, fellow SLCene blogger Dan Nailen and I have noticed a disconcerting escalation in personal transportation.
It used to be that people at the Butte hauled in a backpack containing a light supper, a bottle of wine or a six-pack and a blanket flop on to enjoy Utah's premier outdoor venue and its magnificent sunsets.
But this year in particular, we've been noticing a gypsy caravan appearance to the waiting line. Pilgrims are pulling in conestoga wagon-like garden carts, 18-wheeler coolers (and warmers), piled high with umbrellas, Laz-E-Boy-sized lawn chairs and—new this year–titanium or bamboo snack tables on which foodies pile restaurant-grade stainless bowls and cutlery.
Half the grass is taken up with gear.
We respectfully say, Stop it! You're creating "bourgeois sprawl" at the Butte and it's getting creepy.
Here's all you need for a concert the likes of Steve Earle:
- A supply of beer, wine and/or tequila in small, non-self-propelled cooler.
- A sack of pork rinds, Cheez Whiz and a couple of those triangular plastic-encased sandwiches from Maverick. (Or, if you must, the Liberty Heights Fresh-equivalent in quinoa, artisan cheese, or whatever.)
- A blanket. (If it's a good concert, you're going to dance through it anyway.)
One more thing. What's with the toddlers and infants with giant hearing protectors? If you don't want your kids to get tinnitis—a necessary rite of passage as a rocker—don't drag them up in front of the speakers.

ZF-2912: ContextSwitch constructor has a parameter for helper configuration; no parameters should be specified
Zend_Controller_Action_Helper_ContextSwitch class constructor takes one parameter; as the helper broker doesn't allow for constructor parameters when it instantiates helpers, it should be removed. The parameter is not used in the method body.
Please categorize/fix as needed.
A small clarification: If you wished to instantiate the ContextSwitch helper and pass it to the helper broker manually, you could of course specify a parameter to its constructor for configuration. Either setOptions() or setConfig() should be called if the parameter is not null.
You can instantiate the helper manually and pass it to the helper broker; allowing for options in the constructor simply simplifies this to a single step.
Not an issue.
An issue still exists however where by the constructor parameter {{$options}} is not used in the constructor body. If it is not null it should be passed to either {{setOptions()}} or {{setConfig()}}.
Re-opening due to user feedback.
Scheduling for next mini release.
Fixed in trunk and 1.5 and 1.6 release branches

Valley Forge FAQs
Slave on the boat with Washington
Q.Was there an African slave in the boat when Washington crossed the Delware River?
rosita, wilbraham, MA
A.Supposedly, an African American man by the name of Prince Whipple was in the boat with Washington when he crossed the Delaware. The event occurred in 1776 — a year before the Valley Forge encampment. For more information, you can try visiting a site associated with the "Crossing of the Delaware."

DENVER – Senate Democrats in the State Affairs Committee Wednesday abandoned their "jobs, jobs, jobs" mantra when they decided to shoot down Senator Kevin Grantham's (R-Canon City) bill to classify the Waste-to-Energy process as a renewable energy. Currently, 26 states, the federal government, as well as the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden, Colorado consider this technology a renewable energy.
Creative Energy Systems, a Colorado energy company, had planned to create 50 jobs as well as make a $40 million dollar investment in La Junta, Colorado, if this legislation had passed.
Ron Davis, Director of Economic Development for the City of La Junta testified that "This was about jobs in Colorado, not just for La Junta, but for the entire state"
Bryan Bryant, Otero County Economic Development Coordinator added "This was a shovel ready project. This would create jobs now for people in Otero County."
Colorado State Representative Clarice Navarro (R-Pueblo), the House sponsor, stated "Rural Coloradans lost a huge economic driver today. It is a travesty that the Democrats in the Colorado Senate are more concerned about supporting the Denver-Boulder environmental movement than creating jobs in Southeastern Colorado."
Senator Grantham added, "It is highly disappointing that Senator Angela Giron (D-Pueblo) and her Democrat committee members take their marching orders from people who know little to nothing about the people of Pueblo and southeastern Colorado. Democrat special interests are the only winners today."
Senate Bill 63 died on a 2-3 party line vote, with Senator Larry Crowder (R-Alamosa) and Senator Ted Harvey (R-Highlands Ranch) standing up and supporting jobs in southeastern Colorado.

Specs are pretty limited but the card has 1GB of GDDR5 VRAM (256-bit interface) per GF104 and Expreview mentions the possibility of a 4GB model. The GPUs are connected internally through an NF200 bridge chip, so it should run fine on non-SLI motherboards. There's also an external SLI connector, meaning quad-SLI should be possible.
The card is powered via two 8-pin PCIe connectors and there's an extra chunk of PCB dedicated to the MOSFETS, solid capacitors and VRMs. Connectivity includes four DVI outputs and one mini-HDMI port. There's no word on pricing, but with Nvidia's recent cuts, we'd expect the dual-GPU GTX 460 to be reasonably priced if it makes it to market.

Tomorrow's Dynastar is a specialized brand, committed to mountain adventure. Dynastar's birthplace, the Mont-Blanc, provides an incredible laboratory to develop and test tomorrow's most technically innovative products. Chamonix is Dynastar's base camp, and its inspiration. It is the starting point for the most awe-inspiring adventures; those that push you to surpass your own limits and thrive in pursuit of the most legendary peaks.
Authenticity : Our high-performance products are still designed and tested in Chamonix.
Commitment :Our devotion to skiers pushes us ensuring painstaking attention-to-detail.
Ingenuity : We develop inspired, innovative solutions to meet the demands of the most challenging mountains in the world.
Passion : The Mountains make us stronger.
In the shadow of mont blanc, Dynastar has constructed its history and values to become, 50 years later, an exceptional brand all over the world and the only company of this size now producing skis that are «made in France». decade after decade, dynastar skis have carved out a unique track, fueling inspiration for the future and reflecting a continuous quest to create ever-more innovative and high-quality products.
In was back in 1963 that the brand with the slim «mustache» logo came into being close to the town of Sallanches, born from the inspired union of two manufacturing companies with strong ambitions. The partnership between Starflex skis, produced by Plastiques Synthétiques, and Dynamic resulted in the birth of new high-performance skis called Compound and a new brand - Dynastar - a clever blend of Dynamic and Starflex.
The 1966 World Championships in Portillo gave Dynastar a taste for victory. Marielle Goitschel and Guy Perillat brought the brand its first three World Championship titles and the first three silver medals in its history. In 1968, Marielle Goitschel went on to win gold at the Winter Olympics in Grenoble. Its champions' successes in the competitive arena acted as a further boost to Dynastar's motivation. 1974 marked a milestone in the company's development: ski production at the Sallanches site broke through the 100,000 pair barrier.
To drive its success, Dynastar worked in consultation with its athletes, using their valuable feedback to develop new equipment. At the 1992 Winter Olympic Games in Albertville, France, the brand had the highest number of winners, reaching a total tally of three gold, three silver and two bronze medals! 51 years after its creation, Dynastar is one of the world leaders in the ski industry and the brand ranks among the most successful medal winners in history.
From Marielle Goitschel to Edgar Grospiron, from Marc Girardelli to Deborah Compagnoni,From Marielle Goitschel to Edgar Grospiron, from Marc Girardelli to Deborah Compagnoni, from Kjetil-André Aamodt to Massimiliano Blardone, from Lasse Kjus to Jean-Pierre Vidal, from Tommy Moe to Julien Lizeroux, not forgetting Guerlain Chicherit, Candide Thovex and Aurélien Ducroz, all these athletes have helped to raise the brand's profile all over the world.
In 1966, the Dynastar brand adopted its now famous «peaks» logo, inspired by the emblem of the town of Sallanches and symbolizing the meeting of its rivers, the Frasse and the Sallanches. This «peaks» also represents a V, in reference to the many victories our athletes have brought us over the last 50 years.
Chamonix, the ultimate outdoor laboratory at the foot of Mont Blanc, is an inexhaustible source of inspiration for Dynastar.
''This is where you can find the most demanding skiers in the world, where new trends emerge and new disciplines are invented'', explains Bruno Cercley, CEO of Rossignol Group.
As part of an ongoing quest to continuously improve products and gain an even deeper understanding of the market, Dynastar and Chamonix have entered into four partnerships with the people who are helping to shape the skis of tomorrow.
With more than a million skier days per year, 120 kilometres of runs, 22,000 vertical metres and 57% foreign customers, the ski areas and resorts managed by Compagnie du Mont Blanc in the Chamonix Valley represent an exceptional field study.
The first mountain guiding company in the world, established in 1821, the Compagnie des Guides de Chamonixis a prestigious institution that has earned a worldwide reputation. Dynastar and Rossignol are now equipping the 250 guides who will use and recommend the brand on a daily basis.
Dynastar and Rossignol are official sponsors of Kandahar, a legendary stage in the Alpine Skiing World Cup and the only men's downhill event on the French circuit since 1948. Through the Club des Sports, the Rossignol Group is also promoting skiing and competitive activities for young people living in the Valley.
The ENS A is the only training organization in France for ski instructors and mountain guides. 3,000 future professionals complete their training and certification each year. The expertise accumulated by the ENSA and its students provides valuable feedback on products and applications, from beginners to advanced skiers.

Stewart found his interest in photography at the young age of 15 while growing up in Little Rock, Arkansas. He was always seen spending his time living in the darkroom, working on the yearbook or school newspaper. Those formative years solidified his goals of having career in photography. A few years later, he loaded up and followed his dreams to New York City to study at The School of Visual Arts in Manhattan. There he recieved his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in photography back in 2001. He began to shoot commercial assingments early on during his second year in school and things have taken off from there. These days Stewart finds himself living in Brooklyn with his wonderful wife Suzanne and little dog Sonya. His love has always been portraiture, but it's only a small portion of what has intrigued him about photography. The many personal projects he is always working on, mostly about his travels or life, always keeps him busy inbetween assignments.

Ten's steeply discounted $225 million capital raising shows the financial predicament the network finds itself in due to an ever sliding share of the audience and a generally weak advertising market.
For the second time this year, Ten's high-profile list of star shareholders, including Gina Rinehart, James Packer, Lachlan Murdoch and Bruce Gordon will need to open their wallets to save Australia's third ranked commercial television network from a knock at its door from its bankers.
The commercial success for any television network rests with its ability to produce programs that capture the attention of viewers. The other critical success factor is doing it within well managed cost bounds.
Tragically for Ten, its new billionaire masters either underestimated or have been unable to meet the first priority. In October, Ten's market share fell to a perilously low 21 per cent.
James Packer, Lachlan Murdoch and Gina Rinehart have lost at least $360 million on their combined investments in little over a year. Their plan to buy into Ten, seize control of operations, cut costs and tweak programming has badly backfired.
Instead the network has found itself in a nasty spiral of falling ratings and revenue and the need to deeply axe costs, which affects its ability to buy the programs needed for its revival.
Ten's TV revenue slumped 14.5 per cent in the 2012 financial year while its TV earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) dropped 46.5 per cent year-on-year.
The first job of its relatively new chief executive, James Warburton, was to raise fresh equity to avoid this situation. But the $200 million the company raised in June was not enough and industry analysts argued it should have raised more to put a dent in the company's debt levels.
This time around the new shares will be sold for far less - which will represent a deep (and expensive) dilution for all but those that subscribe to the issue.
Having sold its outdoor advertising business Eye Corp there are now no large saleable businesses that can raise meaningful amounts of cash.
Today's announcement of a new equity raising represents an major embarrassment for James Warburton who assured investors a few months ago there would be no need to raise fresh cash.
While he cannot be blamed for all of the program related decisions, his credibility will receive a blow as he will be perceived as badly under-estimating the gravity of the situation.

I have an old Pokemon Ruby and it seems like the save is sometimes working. I play the game on my DS lite and Game Cube with GBA adapter.
I have read that replacing the battery is a somewhat messy situation and might not always work. It also requires a special screwdriver to open the little critter up. This is compounded by my lack of extreme manual dexterity due to a stroke (I'm a senior citizen). Yea smoking cigarettes for 40 years did me in!!! Now cause of all the non-alcohol compatible meds I take the martini is out :-( !!!
Lately I've read about an item called a GBA Super Memory Stick 4M/8M which is usable on the GBA SP I have but rarely use because it seems to have a less than acceptable display.
Does anyone know if this little gadget will work on an DS Lite? I need to see about getting my SP fixed (no time, etc) and getting a new one like on Amazon costs more than it originally costs retail.
What are my options on this situation? I welcome any and all comers!!!
