BY: Lidija Grozdanic
Start Slideshow
- toyo ito pritzker prize winnerJapanese architect Toyo Ito has been named the 37th recipient of the prestigious Pritzker Prize. The 71-year-old's works, described by the jury as "timeless buildings" that express "optimism, lightness and joy" have made waves throughout the world for their distinct pairings of organic form and technological innovation. Ito's Sendai Mediatheque, which survived the devastating magnitude -9.0 earthquake in 2011, is now a striking example of seismically-resistant architecture, while his dragon-shaped stadium in Taiwan was notable not only for it's unusual form, but also for being entirely solar-powered. Over the course of his career Ito has, with his gorgeous buildings "push[ed] the boundaries of architecture," unafraid to let "go what he has accomplished before," according to juror Yung Ho Chang.1
- Museum of Architecture Toyo ItoIto began his career working for Kiyonori Kikutake, one of the founders of the Japanese Metabolist movement.2
- Solar-Powered Stadium Japan Toyo itoAmong Ito's many notable works is this dragon-shaped 50,000 seat stadium in Taiwan, which is powered by 8,844 photovoltaic panels.3
- Sendai Mediatheque Toyo itoDesigned in 2002, Ito's Sendai Mediatheque survived the 2011 earthquake that devastated much of the region.4
- Museum of Architecture Toyo ItoHe went to create his own architectural office in 1971.5
- Omotesando Building Toyo ito6
- Serpentine Pavilion Toyo ItoThe Pritzker jury commented: "Toyo Ito is a creator of timeless buildings, who at the same time boldly charts new paths."7
- Serpentine Pavilion Toyo ItoHe has been working on several earthquake resistant and relief projects throughout Japan.8
- Serpentine Pavilion Toyo ItoIto is now working with a group of Tokyo architects to develop community centers for the victims of the 2011 earthquake and tsunami in the northeast of the country.9
- White O Toyo Ito"His architecture projects an air of optimism, lightness and joy, and is infused with both a sense of uniqueness and universality, " stated the jury.10
- White O Toyo ItoToyo Ito designed private houses like the U House in Tokyo and White O in Chile, both dominated by flowing forms and a particular sensibility for the private lives of urban dwellers.11
- Za-Koenji Public Theater Toyo ItoToyo Ito's works have been marked by the synergy between organic-like structures and technology on one side and poetics and minimalist design on the other.12
- U House Toyo ItoThe U House is dominated by flowing forms and a particular sensibility for the private.13
- Crematorium Toyo ItoIto creates intricate relationships between the rooms, interior and exterior, the building and its surroundings.14

Alpe D'Huez snow making factory
Snow conditions have been excellent this winter with lots of snowfall but many resorts now have excellent snowmaking facilities - see what the team in Alpe D'huez thought when they visited the snow making factory......
Over the years, resorts have invested significant sums in trying to extend the ski season and to ensure that customers have excellent ski conditions even if it is not all falling out the skies.
Last year we wrote about the snowmaking system in Pitztal which benefits from one of only two 'all weather' snowmaking systems that can make snow in plus temperature - see Pitztal blog
Last week, it was a visit to the Alpe d'Huez snow making factory.
Not really needed much this winter with all the great snow we are having, but due to the unpredictable climate, this unit is required to guarantee snow throughout the season - was in demand last winter!
The tour started off seeing the 6 massive 440kw generators (image opposite) which supply power to the facility. These generators can pump hundreds of tonnes of water to the two storage resevoirs on the mountain.
From there the water can be distributed to the 700 cannons placed around the ski area - see the distribution of the cannons on the computer resort map below.
The water can be made into snow when the temperature drops to -3.5 degrees. The whole process is regulated on a high tech computer system.
The tour is very informative and it was certainly an insight into the technology behind the cannon........almost makes you realise why lift passes cost a lot......
Computers showing the grid of the cannons.
The generators:
Image 2 is of the pumps
The resort of Alpe D'Huez has not needed the cannon facilities much this season as the skies have contributed plenty of fresh snow this winter - but its good to know that help is on hand......

Overlooking Deep Creek Lake, the Wisp Resort and the Adventure Sports Center International in the mountains of western Maryland, Garrett's 62-acre campus is surrounded by the forests, lakes, and rivers that serve as outdoor classrooms and recreation sites for its students. The main campus in McHenry, MD, is approximately 15 miles south of I-68 on U.S. 219. Outreach centers are located in the towns of Grantsville, Accident and Oakland.
The College has acquired a national and international reputation for its Adventure Sports degree and enjoys a strong regional reputation for its program in Natural Resources and Wildlife Technology. Garrett also offers exceptional educational opportunities in Business and Information Technology along with Arts & Sciences and Teacher Education transfer programs. To make these and other programs available to students at a distance, Garrett was the first community college in Maryland to add residence halls to its campus.
Garrett programs lead to Associate in Arts (A.A.) Associate of Science in Engineering (A.S.E.), and Associate of Arts in Teaching (A.A.T.) degrees, the Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree, and a variety of credit and non-credit certificate programs. A low student-faculty ratio offers students individualized attention in their studies. Garrett College graduates are well prepared for success in their chosen careers and for transfer to the many colleges with which Garrett has articulation agreements.
Around 900 students, two-thirds of them full-time, attend Garrett in credit-bearing programs. Minority students make up more than 15% of the population, and 2% are international students. Nearly 4,000 other individuals pursue non-credit workforce training and continuing education each year.
All students are encouraged to apply for financial aid. Students at Garrett County high schools and GED completers are eligible for a Garrett County Scholarship in the year of their graduation that ensures full tuition payment for college study or workforce training. Special tuition rates are available for students from West Virginia and elsewhere in Maryland who enroll in designated degree programs. The College awards Appalachian, international and Presidential scholarships to qualifying students. Garrett Foundation Scholarships are awarded on a competitive basis. Garrett's NJCAA Division II teams (men's and women's basketball, women's volleyball and men's baseball) also award athletic scholarships.
All who work and learn at Garrett College contribute to its mission "to provide accessible, quality education in a supportive environment to a diverse student population...to meet the transfer, career, workforce development and lifelong learning needs of our students and the community." The College is accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education and is approved by the Maryland Higher Education Commission.

One thing at a time...
Friday, October 01, 2010
I'm 51 and the mom of an 11 year old. YIKES! After a wonderful career in the corporate world, I was laid off over a year ago and decided to pursue my childhood dream of becoming a high school math teacher. I got certified but haven't found a job yet so I'm a substitute for now.
I also hit menopause this past year. I'm always hot and always hungry. It seems my metabolism has come to a complete stop so I actually have to work at keeping in shape now. It's just too bad that it took me a year and a 22 lb gain to figure it out!
No energy and no routine have really thrown me for a loop. I'm a Lifetime Member of WeightWatchers but haven't had the motivation to attend meetings because, as a substitute, I don't know from one week to the next what day I'll be able to attend.
Last Tuesday, my dear friend, know to this illustrious group of people as T_Magnolia, worked a PTA concession stand with me. She refused our free concession worker hotdog and soda, saying proudly that she joined SparkPeople a couple of weeks ago and she was really excited about her progress. I told her that I had explored the site over a year ago and it seemed so much more complicated than the WeightWatchers eTools, that I didn't have the time or energy to learn it all. "I know what you mean," she said, "I'm learning just one thing at a time."
Hmmm, "…one thing at a time…" That phrase echoed in my head all that night until suddenly it hit me. What exactly am I doing to make myself healthier? Nothing, nada, zilch… Oh yeah, every day I make up excuses for not going to WeightWatchers. Too bad that doesn't burn calories or I'd be as thin as a rail!
In the past two days, I drank 10 more glasses of water, ate 8 more servings of fruits and vegetables and ate about 2000 calories less than I would have had T_Magnolia not showed up on Tuesday. I also saved myself $25 this week by mowing my own lawn this morning.
So, repeat after me, "One thing at a time, one day at a time…" Thanks T!

AW, you're welcome! I'm so glad I was able to inspire you! One thing at a time, one day at a time... one pound at a time. You have a lot less to lose than me, I know you can do it!

It's tricky when you don't have a routine - but maybe it gives you the chance to plan your exercise as a priority? Then if it it has to make way for teaching, fair enough - but otherwise, it's in the schedule!
I agree there's a lot to explore here but I suspect these cunning SP people have designed it that way - there's always something new to find out so it keeps your motivation up.
Best of luck on your journey!

I am a teacher and I find it a little hard some days to get my workouts in...but I do! I am 21 lbs lighter than I was when school got out in June. It can be done.
Good luck on your journey.

According to the Canadian Press, the Winnipeg Jets are 2-0 with Paul Maurice as their interim head coach after a 5-2 victory over the Calgary Flames on Thursday.
Olli Jokinen, Bryan Little and Mark Scheifele all notched a goal and an assist as the Winnipeg Jets seemed to be clicking with Maurice as their leader.
Maurice was named the Jets' bench boss on Sunday after the team fired Claude Noel.
Other Jets who recorded multi-points in Thursday's win were Andrew Ladd, Chris Thorburn and Blake Wheeler, who all notched a pair of helpers.
The Jets got off to an impressive 4-0 lead as Ondrej Pavelec only had to make 11 saves over the first 40 minutes. The Flames battled back in the third with goals from Mark Giordano and Lance Bouma, but it was far from enough.
With the win, Winnipeg improves to 21-23-5, while Calgary drops to 16-26-6. The Flames will next play in Vancouver on Saturday.

Bronx, NY – In an attempt to reach out to the urban community, McDonald's latest television commercial has ruined the potential careers of five aspiring Bronx rappers, in less time than it takes to get a Big Mac Value Meal at the Drive-Thru. The commercial, which features five street kids rapping in a circle about the quality of service and diverse menu that the restaurant has to offer, is currently airing on BET.
"Well the Blacks are cool again," said McDonald's spokesperson Jerry Murdock, "They've helped us sell a lot of Hamburgers with their raps."
Unfortunately, what the emcees involved didn't realize prior to recording the commercial, was that starring in the commercial has not helped, but only hindered their chances of getting signed to a major record deal.
"I actually thought that this would help get me some exposure," said M.C. Fly-Dee. "But the only changes I have notices is that everyone in my neighborhood now calls me McFly."
"I didn't really have a choice in whether or not to do the commercial. I have nothing," said Bronx rapper, Conquest. "These guys came to our street and offered each us $500 to do what we do everyday outside anyway, and we were like, 'why not'?"
Apparently, this is not the first time that Ronald and friends have exploited African-Americans and hip-hop culture in their commercials.
"I did a commercial with my roommate for Mickey D's, about ten years ago. At first, everything was like 'Proper!'," said former commercial star, Daryl Reeves, "But when they paid me in Monopoly game pieces, I realized I was getting fucked."
"They asked me to do this one commercial for them, and in it I played a McDonald's employee, who kept out of trouble by going to work after school each day," said Calvin, "But after they paid me for the commercial, and I needed a real job, they wouldn't even hire me at their restaurant in Queens. Now I'm wanted for first degree murder."
While many are angered by McDonald's' approach to advertising at target markets, a press release from the restaurant concerning these issues has been released, as follows.
"We at McDonalds do not encourage the exploitation of African-Americans, or any other race, for that matter, in our advertising campaigns. As history will show, the first Ronald McDonald was a Black man. In a time where racism was strong, we gave that man a chance, by putting him in a clown suit, and painting him white."

What do we think of these then?
What do we think of these then?
"Faster, Faster, until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death." - Hunter S. Thompson
No idea about the sound (obviously) but it is an interesting concept. Probably good for use outside too.
I would love to know how the work.........the site seems to be just an advertisement with no tech on it at all.
I am just a soul boy at heart.
Greensound's speakers use the glass panel to deliver sound omnidirectionally. A sound generator in the base of the speaker vibrates the glass to project the sound; different areas of the glass are responsible for producing different frequency sounds – the curved area at the top produces high frequency sounds, the middle produces mid-range sounds, while low frequencies are produced by the larger area at the bottom near the base.
Dust and fingerprints shouldn't be an issue
my 2 scatter brained dogs would definately be fun in there , i once had a german shepherd run straight into a woofer , nose deep in voice coil
sansui AU555A , magnum MF250 , pioneer PD 91 , meridian 563 ,logic dm 101 mk1/ AR the turntable , koss CM1030 ,marantz 2020 tuner and some cables
Sounds a similar concept to NXT. I wonder if it's sufficiently novel compared with NXT to get their patent granted.
NXT have never managed to break into proper HiFi, although they have had a lot of success with small PC 'speakers and singing birthday cards. I wonder what these measure like. I would guess fairly poorly, a great mass of peaky resonances.
Look nice though!
I thought you would approve Serge, they should be very transparent
Thank you Graham. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm not for me then.
I am just a soul boy at heart.
Do these come with the listening room thrown in for free?
BMR tech.
History remembers the originators and forgets the imitators.
Spoons are cool.
The Naim stuff isn't similar it is NXT. :-)
pretty, if you like that sort a thang. I can see them in many a corporate 'entertainment' suite, or maybe adorning the bathroom of a mega yacht, in which circumstances, who would care about the sound? Good luck to em I say, and maybe one day, a bit of spin off might makr our lives better too....

The 2014 USA Pro Challenge begins stage 1 with fabulous repeat from last year, the Aspen to Snowmass circuit race. The 20 mile loop will be lapped 6 times for a total of a 60.9 miles race (0.9 miles for the 2 start lap in Aspen) . The course includes 2,300 feet of climbing between the Roaring Fork Valley and the hills of Snowmass. Particularly tricky will be narrow roadway over Maroon Creek Bridge, squeezing the competition into a lineup before the climb up Snowmass. Starting elevation of in Aspen is 7,900 ft. with the high point at 8,353 ft, about 6 miles from the start line. Be sure to consult the on-line Spectator Guide and the official Stage 1 Map.
It is no surprise that the race planners retained this stage from last year. This is one of the best courses for spectators to view. First, the intimate historical town of Aspen is a delightful place to vacation for the weekend or visit for the day. Next, there are multiple opportunities to meet fan's favorite racers, as the team buses are parked downtown and have planned appearances before start time. Finally, the six lap race provides spectators with prolonged viewing time to see the racers compete.
Quick Facts:
*Roads Close: 1:00- 5pm
Start Time: 2:10pm
Approx End time: 4:28pm
Start/Finish Line – Main St and Aspen St.
Two sprints; Four king of the mountain
Suggested View Points:
Aspen Town: - Tight corners at Mill/Bleeker/Main ;
Owl Creek Rd – uphill section just outside of Aspen
Maroon Creek Bridge
Snowmass – King of the Mountain at Owl Creek and Bruch Creek Roads.
Woody Creek – King of the Mountain at McLain Flats Road
*Road Closures – Access to Aspen and Snowmass on Highway 82 will be cut off at 1pm. Look for signs to parking areas that feature shuttle buses into Aspen or Snowmass, if you don't make it in on time. Further details can be seen posted on the Aspen USA Pro Challenge site.

Hello Huskie Fans,
We did it! After beating home team Argentina, 81-37, we successfully completed our mission and finished 5-0. Not to mention we are heading home with a gold medal. I am so excited for USA Basketball, and I must say I feel a sense of achievement. Words cannot begin to express how far this team has come since the first day of training camp. We are a gold medal team, and that is something that they can cherish for the rest of their lives. I know I will!
Playing in front of the home crowd was exhilarating. They never stopped cheering for their team and it made for a very fun environment. After the game was over and they awarded the medals, there was a Brazilian type carnival. They had dancers and drums and all sorts of fun celebration activities. The team enjoyed the celebration and were treated like rock stars by the other teams and fans. They wanted anything they could get their hands on that had USA Basketball on it. Some of our players traded gear with members of other teams and a couple of our players left the gym without shoes on! It was crazy but a good type of crazy. You would have thought the Beatles were in town or something. I guess we are kind of a big deal...LOL.
All of this probably won't truly sink in until I am home, but watching Kelsey Bone shed a few tears while accepting her gold medal hit me hard and let me know this was for real. Hearing our national anthem in a foreign country is also an experience I will never forget. The sense of pride I felt was overwhelming, and I am so grateful that I could help represent our country and bring home the gold!
Today, we are able to go site seeing and shopping one last time before we get on our flight and head home. I am so excited to get back to the USA and go recruiting for the final three days of the July evaluation period. I am flying into Atlanta, Ga., and then driving to North Augusta, S.C. to go to Nike Nationals. It will be great to see a few of our recruits, as I have missed most of the July recruiting period.
I hope you have enjoyed reading these blogs and was able to get a feel for the awesome experience I just had. Although I had an amazing trip, I am ready to get back to NIU and see my team and staff! It is hard being away from them this long but winning gold made it all well worth it!
See you all very soon and Go Huskies!

The Lego Movie: Rated "PG" (1 hour 40 Minutes)
Starring: Chris Pratt, Will Ferrell, Elizabeth Banks, Will Arnett, Nick Offerman
Directed by: Phil Lord, Chris Miller
Who among us hasn't played with Lego as kids? Personally, not only was our own childhood full with Lego, but we introduced it to our own son who spent hours building and playing with the colorful building blocks, so when we first saw the trailer for this 3D, animated film, we were hooked, then we realized that it co-stared Batman (voiced by Arnett), Green Lantern (voiced by Jonah Hill), Wonder Woman (voiced by Cobie Smulders) Superman (voiced by Channing Tatum), Han Solo (voiced by Keith Ferguson), and Lando Calrissian (voiced by Billy Dee Williams) we experienced a Geekgasm of epic proportions.
The film follows the misadventures of Emmet (voiced by Pratt) who has been (mis)identified a master builder as well as the Special by Vitruvius (voiced by Morgan Freeman) , who has been tasked with saving all of the Lego-verse, only thing is that Emmet, really isn't all that, he is just some ordinary builder who has been swept up in a grander scheme, but Lucy (voiced by Banks) believes in him, so he rises to the task in order to be the man everyone seems to believe him to be. Now Emmet will have to unlearn everything he saw in the instructions so as to discover the power of imagination in order to defeat the evil Lord Business (Voiced by Ferrell), a tyrant who is bent on destroying the Lego universe on Taco Tuesday and recreating it as he sees fit by gluing it together.
What makes this film work so well is that it quite flatly abandons all forms of actual reality and totally immerses you in the ebb and flow of the absolute fascination that kids experience when they exercise their own imagination and become a part of the Lego reality of building toys and then playing with them. Still, there is far more going on here than the trailer (or even the first hour or so of the film lets on, and that's where the real fun begins. Simply let us say here that this film is not just for kids, but their parents as well, plus it is one of those films that you are not only going to want to seeing 3D, but will want to watch over and over again.
Yes, it is that good.

College Hockey:Holy Cross Blanks Bentley, 1-0
Crusaders Near AHA Regular-Season Title
WALTHAM, Mass. — They say that one is the loneliest number. For Holy Cross on Friday night, it provided company.
Thanks to a tight-checking, 1-0, road victory over Bentley, the Crusaders remained tied with Sacred Heart, an 8-3 winner over Connecticut on Friday, for the top spot in the Atlantic Hockey standings with one night left in the season.
Either team with a victory on Saturday can clinch at least a tie for the regular season championship.
"We were able to limit [Bentley's] chances all game," said Holy Cross coach Paul Pearl. "When they did get the chances, [goaltender] Tony [Quesada] made the save."
Indeed, Quesada (26 saves) did have a memorable game in goal. In addition to posting his second shutout of the season and his sixth of his career, he made a third-period save with the game in the balance that folks may talk about for a while.
With Bentley rookie phenom Anthony Canzoneri feeding Dain Prewitt on a clear-cut two-on-one, Quesada seemed dead to rights. Somehow, though, he flashed a glove at the right time and right place and Prewitt's shot ended up in the middle of the webbing, preserving the one-goal lead with 10:06 to play in the game.
"We've been working on two-on-ones all week in practice because last weekend we got beat by a lot of two-on-ones," said Quesada. "I got a good push across and was able to get a glove on it."
Quesada admitted that he had no clue whether the save was skill or luck and also said that teammate Pierre Napert-Frenette may have prepped him for the game-saving play before the night started.
"During warm-ups, Pierre put a shot just like that on me and I made a glove save," said Quesada. "The guys joked that I should make some of those in the game."
That save proved to be the biggest of the night, and in return spoiled a 40-save effort by his counterpart Ray Jean in the Bentley net.
A tight-checking first period in which Holy Cross held a 13-11 in shots, most of the from the perimeter, saw the Crusaders grab the early lead on a quick swing of emotions.
It appeared Bentley had scored at 10:17 when a shot from above the faceoff dots ended up in the back of the net. But the referee ruled that Canzoneri had kicked the puck into the net and disallowed the goal.
"It was a good call by the ref," admitted Bentley coach Ryan Soderquist. "When [Canzoneri] came to the bench I asked him if he kicked the puck and he said yes."
Twenty-three seconds later Holy Cross scored on a similar play. A shot by Blair Bartlett from the high slot appeared to be covered by Jean, but the rebound ended up trickling free and Dale Reinhardt, using his stick instead of his skate, poked the puck into the net at 10:40 for the only scoring of the first.
In the second, each team posted shots on goal but few resulted in quality scoring chances. Canzoneri posted an early shot that went off the shoulder of Quesada and bounced just over the crossbar. And Holy Cross' lone chance came with 4:41 remaining when Dale Reinhardt fanned on a pass while staring down a wide open net.
The third period, then, became a goaltending display. In addition to Quesada's show-stopper, Jean came up big particularly in shorthanded situations. Bentley killed off nine Holy Cross power plays on the night, though penalties also taxed the Falcons, who found themselves shorthanded for the closing minutes of the game after a Marc Zwicky major for hitting from behind with 3:49 left.
From there, Holy Cross needn't even pressure the offensive net, instead choosing to play a defensive set and keep Bentley from gaining any possession of the puck in the offensive zone.
When the final buzzer sounded, the Crusaders knew two points was all that now separates them from a league title.
"The goal at the beginning of the season was to put ourselves in position to win a league championship," said Quesada. "Now we're there."

Widening the Boundaries of: Teacher Preparation and Classroom Practices in Music Education
The preparation for teachers for professional service in the music classroom is a matter for national consideration. Teacher education has been the topic of a number of papers, round table discussions, and posters during previous Pan Can symposia as well as in provincial conferences and journal publications. The quality and relevance of teacher education programs has been the subject of considerable previous research. However, this proposal uniquely focuses on music education. Research
Project Proposal: Educational Innovators, Music Teacher Preparation for the Music Classroom, K-Graduation.
Scope: Pan Canadian-undergraduate and certification degree programs
1a) Inventory
National snapshop of the requirements for certification to teach music by gathering data on the:
- program (e.g., concurrent or consecutive/ number of years/hours of instruction, core requirements for BMus),
- curriculum (philosophy/reading lists/assignments/teaching-learning strategies),
- course instructors (tenured or sessional/TAs)
- practicum experiences (nature and length of practicum/music classroom/ practicums for elementary/role of host teachers).
- Other requirements for certification
1b) Efficacy/Effectiveness of program
Survey sample of recent education graduates (in first 5-7 years of career) to discover:
- to what degree they were prepared for their teaching positions,
- in what areas did they feel that the certification program did not prepare them
- how might teacher education better equip them for service, and,
- what best practices did they experience in preservice that they have incorporated in their classrooms?
Part 2: Identify Innovative and Creative Teaching Practices
2a) Create a data base (video clips/print material) of innovative and creative teaching practices gathered from K-12 classrooms from all regions of Canada to be made available on CMEA/ACME website as a national teaching resource.
2b) Undertake an analysis of these practices, to determine:
- where the teacher learned the strategy,
- why it was designed/implemented (i.e., what need motivated it or what was the inspiration behind it?),
- to what degree did their teacher training equip them to teach in this way
Part 3: Develop and Pilot a Canadian Music Educator Profile (curriculum principles?)
- Using information from the collected data in Part 1a and 1b, and the resources accumulated in Part 2, develop a profile for music teacher instruction that helps prepare prospective teachers for service in a wide variety of teaching situations.
- Regional diversity of Canada represented, adaptability and flexibility would be built into the content.
- Traditional programming, practices, and values that are cherished in music education not excluded

By Stephen Trembley
LARAMIE, Wyo. --- Fresno State senior guard Tyler Johnson scored 24 points as the Bulldogs' men's basketball team had its five-game winning streak snapped with a 72-66 loss at Wyoming on Tuesday night.
The loss was the first for Fresno State (13-14, 6-8 Mountain West) since falling 75-73 in overtime at UNLV on Jan. 25.
Sophomore Marvelle Harris added 18 and Cezar Guerrero also reached double figures with 13 points.
The teams played close for a half before Wyoming built a 40-31 lead. Fresno State answered by going on a 9-0 run to tie the game at 40-40.
Wyoming (17-9, 8-5 MW), which won its third straight, grabbed the lead for good moment later when Josh Adams, who had 10 points, hit a fadeaway jumper to break the 40-all tie with 11:21 remaining.
Nathan Sobey scored a career-high 26 points and Larry Nance Jr. added 17 to lead the Cowboys offensively.
Nance was 7-of-9 shooting before he crashed to the floor with 14:51 to play and suffered a knee injury. The Cowboys' leader in scoring, rebounds, blocks and steals laid on the court for several minutes holding his right knee before being helped off, unable to put any weight on the leg. Nance did not return.
Fresno State wraps up its two-game road trip on Saturday at Utah State.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.
"Catch the Wave!" - 2013-14 Fresno State men's basketball tickets are now on sale and can be ordered online at www.gobulldogs.com or over the phone at 559-278-DOGS (3647). The official home of the Fresno State Bulldogs is 940 AM ESPN Radio.

FDA Finds Salmonella Strain on Jalapeno Pepper
Statement of CSPI Food Safety Director Caroline Smith DeWaal
July 21, 2008
More than 1,200 Americans have gotten sick and two people have died after eating produce contaminated with Salmonella Saintpaul. With an investigation spanning many weeks, food safety regulators have had a challenging time trying to track suspected tomatoes and peppers up or down the supply chain, hampered by paper records and repacking practices that effectively hide the identity of produce in the distribution chain.
Today FDA announced an important breakthrough in the case: A Jalapeno pepper from a Mexican farm -- repacked at a Texas distribution facility -- has been found with the identical strain fingerprint of Salmonella as the human victims.
Though we still do not know where or how the contamination occurred, what we do know is traceability tools that Congress adopted in the 2002 Bioterrorism Act were significantly watered down by the Bush Administration. In fact, in 2003, food industry lobbyists had special behind-closed-doors access when the Bush Administration was vetting new anti-bioterrorism regulations aimed at protecting the food supply from intentional contamination. Provisions stripped from the regulations, like requirements for distributors to record lot or code numbers, and requirements for record availability in 4 to 8 hours, might have been helpful nailing down this Salmonella outbreak much earlier.
At the time, the industry complained that strong provisions were overly burdensome, and the Administration watered down the regulations in response. Those complaints must seem quaint compared to the hundreds of millions of dollars this one outbreak has cost American growers, processors, and retailers.
Its time for Congress to step in and enact meaningful FDA reform legislation. Though time is short, Congress should act before another outbreak occurs to give FDA strong traceback authority, mandatory process control systems all the way back to the farm, and mandatory recall. The Bush Administration has consistently failed to put public health ahead of the complaints of industry lobbyists. Congress should not wait for more evidence that the agency doesnt have the tools it needs.

Only In America
The event was not only a blast but it served to (further) reinforze the exceptional exceptionalism of America. Some things are just only possible in the land of opportunity, and I am more convinced everyday that hatred towards America by many out there is mainly explained precisely because of its grandness. In other words, if America was mediocre and ugly, not brilliant and beautiful, it would be held in a higher standard by the global masses (after all, when was the last time that you heard an anti-American in London, Paris, or Madrid bash North Korea, or similar bastions of excellence and plentifulness?).
Let me walk you through a few of the things that I was able to witness in just four days. First of all, a marvellously organized conference at a superb location (several football fields in size), with dozens and dozens of modern lecture rooms and a giant main exhibition hall buzzing with energy. You felt alive and excited. The AFP had prepared hundreds of different seminars, on every topic imaginable, a delicious menu for the information-hungry practitioner.
Then came the entertainment. A nightly reception at the Boston Public Library and a classical concert. A chance to experience cultural advancement and refinement at its best. Enlightenment reigning supreme.
In between conference activities I was able to visit Harvard and MIT. Academic and architectural greatness at its peak, a triumphant symbol of human intelligence and inventiveness let loose.
I was also able to browse books at the local Borders, simply the best bookstore chain (with Barnes&Noble) in the world, unmatched anywhere else. Those self-proclaimed intellectuals in Europe would kill to have something like that in their cities.
After all the day´s action, I would rest my bones at a luxurious hotel fully equipped with everything you might need: an spacious room, sensational room service, well-equipped gym, oak-panelled bar, and comprehensive business center.
So, let´s summarize: impolute organizational grandiosity, cultural supremeness, world-leading temples of knowledge, books-aplenty, prosperous comfort. All these attributes can be found together not just in Boston, but all over the US. Who wouldn´t like that?
More to the point, who would hate that?

Sean Lynch: The Weight of the World
- 14 May — 2 July 2016 *on now
Video artworks commissioned by Spacex and inspired by RAMM's collections.
A stone fragment from a Dominican Friary choir screen is removed from its case in RAMM and carried to the original priory site, now part of the Princesshay Shopping Centre. This simple and playful gesture is a reminder that our present lives are built upon the culture and value systems of the past.
The contribution that metal detectorists make to RAMM's collections is used to advocate for a change in the law in Sean Lynch's native Ireland where the use of metal detectors is illegal. Akin to a promotional video, the work explores ideas of nationhood, individual freedom, and community-led heritage.
One of Ireland's leading contemporary artists, Sean Lynch represented Ireland at The Venice Biennale in 2015. Throughout his work, he investigates anecdotes and half-truths, unearthing stories or issues that have been previously overlooked or fallen by the wayside.
The Weight of the World is presented by Spacex in partnership with RAMM and Exeter Phoenix. Supported by Arts Council England, Exeter City Council, The Henry Moore Foundation, The Elephant Trust and The Foyle Foundation.
Part of Art Week Exeter (AWE), 9 to 15 May.

Outlier Detection by Rod Dickinson
- 3 June 2016 — 1 January 2017 *on now
In Rod Dickinson's Outlier Detection a 3D digital version of a decorative hand-painted 1830s police truncheon from RAMM's collection is animated by a stream of live data from www.legislation.co.uk. The artwork monitors and measures the frequency with which UK legislation is passed on an hour-by-hour basis, in real time. It looks for Government Bills that are called Statutory Instruments, a form of legislation which allows the provisions of an Act of Parliament to be enforced or altered without further Parliamentary scrutiny. When new laws are being passed at an increasing rate, the model truncheon starts to lose detail and break apart. If the rate of legislation continues to escalate, it finally loses all visual coherence before completely disintegrating.
Outlier Detection contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0.
Rod Dickinson is a visual artist and Programme leader for BA (Hons) Creative Media Design, at the University of West England in Bristol. His performative and media-based artworks explore the way in which our behaviour interacts with media feedback systems and social contexts. Rod has created installations and live events independently and as part of a team, for a variety of organisations including the Hayward Gallery, the Institute of Contemporary Arts, Longside and the Victoria & Albert Museum. Rod's work is held in public collections including the Arts Council Collection at Southbank Centre. He has exhibited widely, including Frankfurt, Ljubljana, Vancouver and Washington DC.
Artist Reflections: Rod Dickinson is the last of four artists who were invited to create a response to RAMM's collections. The artists were chosen by RAMM's Contemporary Arts Panel in consultation with Arts Council England and the Arts Council Collection at Southbank Centre. Artist Reflections was funded by Arts Council England's Major Partner Museum programme.

Flower Power: Botanical illustrations from India
- 11 July — 11 September 2016
An exhibition of beautiful early 19th-century illustrations of Indian flora exploring the plants' usage in traditional Ayurvedic and modern medicine. In the late 18th and early 19th centuries the East India Company controlled much of the Indian subcontinent. Keen to exploit and export valuable natural commodities, the Company set out to record the flora of India and commissioned Indian artists to create detailed botanical illustrations.
Many of the plants were known through their use in Ayurvedic medicine. One of the world's oldest medicinal systems, it has been practiced in India for 3,000 years with plants being used to treat ailments from skin complaints, wounds and stomach ache to internal bleeding, malaria and epilepsy.
These rare and scientifically valuable works are a testament to the Company's contribution to the advancement of botanical science. Surviving records of wages and the pigments and papers used help tell the story of the artists and their specialist techniques.
Part of Naturally Inspired: RAMM's season of botanicals, gardens and landscapes.

Seaton Down Hoard: A first Glimpse
- 26 July 2016 — 18 June 2017
Thanks to a number of donations and grants, the Seaton Down Hoard has been purchased for the benefit of the people of Devon and Exeter and for future generations.
The purchase and conservation of the hoard of coins has been made possible by the Heritage Lottery Fund, Clinton Estates, a private donation by Patrick Long, and many contributions by members of the public.
The Seaton Down Hoard is the largest Roman coin hoard ever found in Devon. The coins were discovered in November 2013, and have recently been purchased by RAMM. Around AD348, the coins were buried, probably by a private individual or soldier for safe-keeping. They provide a fascinating glimpse into the world of 4th-century Roman Britain.
Work has begun to stabilise the collection of almost 23,000 coins, which will help us unveil the rich story of Roman East Devon and its place in the Economic history of late Roman Britain.
Each coin will need to be checked and a selection of coins conserved to reveal precise details of their date, type and place of mint.
See a display of the coins
A few of the coins will be on display for visitors to enjoy while conservation work continues on the main collection. You can catch an early glimpse of a small part of the hoard from Tuesday 26 July. A new display will be created for the entire hoard in 2017.

Kurt Jackson: Revisiting Turner's Tourism
- 10 September — 4 December 2016
Contemporary British artist Kurt Jackson visited 12 locations in Devon and Cornwall depicted in the work of J.M.W. Turner – one of Britain's greatest landscape painters.
Kurt Jackson has worked within the landscape for over 30 years. Largely influenced by current concerns and seen with an environmental slant, he has become fascinated by the dynamic element of change through both our own pressure and the Earth's natural processes. From Land's End to Exeter he investigated and recorded the profound changes that have occurred between the 19th century and the present.
The exhibition showcases a diverse body of work in a variety of media with accompanying film, sketchbooks and other relevant material. Jackson's new works will be shown together with the Turner engravings that inspired them.
Kurt Jackson is based in Cornwall and his practice has taken him throughout the country and Europe. He was given access to the University of Exeter's collection of Turner engravings, produced to promote tourism through 'the picturesque'.
Organised in collaboration with the University of Exeter.

Michael Shaw: Sculpting the Museum
- 17 September — 13 November 2016
Artist Michael Shaw's sculpture is original, dynamic and fun. He has created a massive, inflatable sculpture to inhabit RAMM's gallery. Shaped by the gallery walls, high ceiling and annexe, and animated by cyclical inflation and deflation, it becomes a living, breathing object. Michael Shaw's responses to artefacts from the museum collections are made in metals, plastics and natural materials, using laser cutting and rapid prototyping. They sit alongside the originals which are displayed as a 21st-century Cabinet of Curiosities.
Michael Shaw is best known as a sculptor who works with inflatable structures to express his interest in space, light, translucency and transparency. He has responded to other historic buildings including Burghley House in Lincolnshire; Bethesda Chapel in Stoke-on-Trent; the Victoria & Albert Museum, London; and the Varna Palace in Aarhus, Denmark.
He has also exhibited in Berlin, Florence, Hamburg, Paris, Rome and Tokyo and was shortlisted for the Jerwood Sculpture Prize and the Lynn Chadwick award at the Royal West of England Academy.

An exhibition showcasing forty-four watercolours of Queen Victoria's remarkable visit to Paris in 1855, all commissioned by or for Queen Victoria.
The historic ten day visit was on the invitation of the Emperor Napoleon III and his wife Eugénie. The first time a reigning British monarch had visited the French capital in over 400 years, the visit ostensibly celebrated the military alliance between France and Britain against Russia in the Crimean War. It also cemented a great personal friendship that had developed between the two rulers, just forty years after the Battle of Waterloo.
Never before displayed in their entirety, the watercolours capture the magnificence of the occasion, showing dramatic illuminations, spectacular balls and exquisite Second Empire interiors.

So... before I purchase a 10-round Ruger SR9 I'd like to find out if it can accept high-capacity (17 round) magazines. Anyone know for certain?
