Master of Architecture
The Department of Architecture, Interior Architecture, and Designed Objects offers two National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB) accredited Master of Architecture (MArch) degrees: a full, 3 year MArch and a two-year, accelerated MArch for students with an undergraduate, preprofessional bachelor's degree in architecture or architectural technology.
Master of Architecture (3 years)
The 102-credit Master of Architecture program at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) begins with a foundation of required skills and grounding in the histories of and theories specific to architecture, engineering, and design.
We teach the analysis of event, function, emerging technologies, and invention through hands-on construction in ways that are consistent with the location of the architecture program in a world-class art and design school.
Each semester's sequence of courses is integrated around a timely and cogent intellectual focus, while individual architecture studios approach design concepts from a particular vantage point that reinforces the development of a comprehensive understanding. Classwork includes:
- Studios for conceptual orientation
- Seminars framed in reading and discussion
- Case study labs that develop technical skills and real-world proficiency
Collaborative studios in the second year offer a chance to develop the interdisciplinary approach demanded by so many of today's design problems. Third-year studios culminate in work with artists in the wider SAIC community and teams of artists and designers placing work in the public realm.
For more information about this degree, visit the admissions requirements web page or the curriculum requirements web page. Or, learn more about the AIADO department and its resources and facilities.
Master of Architecture, Option 2 (2 years)
Students with an undergraduate, preprofessional degree in architectural studies, architectural technology, or interior design may submit a letter with their application requesting admission to SAIC's MArch, Option 2 degree program. This 60-credit program includes many of the same course sequences as the MArch program, but excludes some of the foundational courses students completed as undergraduates
For more information about this degree, visit the admissions requirements web page or the curriculum requirements web page. Or, learn more about the AIADO department and its resources and facilities.
Certificate in Historic Preservation
A Certificate in Historic Preservation is available to students pursuing the Master of Architecture (MArch) and MArch with an Emphasis in Interior Architecture options at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC).

Nicklaus & Woods to Be On Wheaties Box
June 20, 2003. Although the debate over whether Jack Nicklaus or Tiger Woods is the greatest golfer of all time is still unresolved, it's only taken a breakfast cereal to get them to appear together. The pair is about to be featured on a special edition Wheaties cereal box, according to General Mills officials. Woods has been an official Wheaties' spokesperson for some time, and has appeared on more than a dozen boxes, the new package will be the first time Nicklaus has ever been on a Wheaties package.
"Both Tiger and Jack have had an enduring influence on golf by playing the game like it was meant to be played," said Brian Kittelson, Wheaties marketing manager. "They are both great champions. While we've had a relationship with Tiger for a number of years, we are extraordinarily honored to welcome Jack Nicklaus into the Wheaties family."
The boxes will be appearing on store shelves later in June according to the company.
In addition to their pictures on the front of the box, the two men will have commentary on the back and some golf-related fitness tips from the American College of Sports Medicine.
The above story appeared in the Golf Course Superintendent Associations News Weekly.

Lindsay Lohan will spend five days at a secluded lodge in the Utah mountains with her father Michael.
"It can only help her recovery," Lohan's mom Dina tells PEOPLE in an e-mail. "It's time to mend."
She adds, "He is visiting Lindsay alone because we are giving her dad a chance to make amends." A protection order against her former spouse, she says, precludes both parents spending time together with their daughter simultaneously.
During the first week of September, father and daughter ended their three-and-a-half year estrangement when Michael visited Lindsay at the Cirque Lodge Treatment Center. They have been in contact since and Michael is set to arrive in Utah late Monday night to begin their five-day retreat together Tuesday morning.
"She is in a better place than ever," a source close to Michael tells PEOPLE. "Lindsay asked [him] to come out, and he's ecstatic she's back in his life."
The 21-year-old actress has been in rehab since August 3, following her arrest in July for driving under the influence and cocaine possession.
Despite this easing family tension, Lohan has no immediate plans to leave rehab – but may complete her court-mandated 10 days of community service, according to one source, helping AIDS victims in South Africa.

It is far more satisfying to grow veg than to buy them in the supermarket. The pleasure of using your home-growns in the kitchen will add so much to the experience of preparing and cooking your meals. And, here´s the real secret, it´s easy. Whether you have a small indoor garden or an acre to till, growing your own vegetables is hugely pleasurable, yielding fast rewards. And the quality is undoubtedly better than what you will find in the supermarkets.
Growing your own vegetables removes worry about chemicals and pesticides. There is a lot of preoccupation these days about the integrity of fruit and vegetables sold in the supermarkets. They are sprayed with pesticides and waxes which help protect and beautify the produce, but which are inevitably harmful for human consumption.
Planning your garden
Preparation is key and planning your garden will make things much easier further down the line. Picking a sunny spot is vital. For guaranteed success dig your garden in a place that will get six hours or more of full sunlight. It should preferably be close to the house and a water supply,

A 3D visualization of intact intestine tissue, obtained through whole-body clearing and staining. [Bin Yang and Viviana Gradinaru]
Walt Whitman's Body Electric has nothing on whole-body clearing, which might be called the Body Transparent. Whereas Whitman conjoined the "parts and poems of the body," even the "thin red jellies within," to flesh out a vision of connectedness, whole-body clearing—a kind of lipid-leaching process—enables the mapping and phenotyping of normal and pathological elements within intact organs and bodies. In doing so, whole-body clearing realizes one of the learn'd biologist's dearest dreams—the visualization of long-range connections between cells as well as fine-grained cellular structures.
Processes capable of rendering tissues optically transparent have been around since the 1800s, but they tend to damage tissue, distorting the body's finer structures. Worse, these processes frequently rely on chemistries that are incompatible with labeling and staining methodologies, and so leave many structures of interest invisible.
These problems have been largely overcome by newer processes, such as CLARITY, which stands for Clear, Lipid-exchanged, Acrylamide-hybridized Rigid, Imaging/immunostaining compatible, Tissue hYdrogel. CLARITY, which was developed at the Deisseroth Lab at Stanford, and similar approaches provide hydrogel embedding to stabilize tissue structures, fluorescent protein-compatible clearing reagents, and imaging procedures for large tissue samples. While such approaches have been used to generate 3D images of complex, long-distance cellular interactions, they have been limited to the brain or embryos.
Taking approaches such as CLARITY a step further, a California Institute of Technology research team led by Viviana Gradinaru, Ph.D., has developed methods for making opaque organs, bodies, and human tissue biopsies transparent, while keeping the cellular structures and connections intact. These methods include PACT (PAssive Clarity Technique), a protocol for passive tissue clearing and immunostaining of intact organs; RIMS (Refractive Index Matching Solution), a refractive index matching media for imaging thick tissue; and PARS (Perfusion-Assisted agent Release in Situ), a method for whole-body clearing and immunolabeling.
The details appeared July 31 in the journal Cell, in an article entitled, "Single-Cell Phenotyping within Transparent Intact Tissue through Whole-Body Clearing." According to Dr. Gradinaru, PACT, RIMS, and PARS together represent the first attempt to perform whole-body clearing, as opposed to first extracting and then clearing organs outside the adult body.
"We here propose a methodology to facilitate fast, whole-brain and whole-body clearing using the circulatory system or the cerebrospinal fluid route to directly deliver clarifying agents," wrote the Cell article's authors. "We demonstrate … that opaque, intact, whole-organisms [can be transformed] into optically transparent, fluorescently labeled samples for visualization with conventional confocal microscopy and phenotypic analysis at the cellular, subcellular, and even single-molecule transcripts level."
"Our methodology has the potential to accelerate any scientific endeavor that would benefit from whole-organism mapping, including the study of how peripheral nerves and organs can profoundly affect cognition and mental processing, and vice versa," asserted Dr. Gradinaru. "Our easy-to-use tissue clearing protocols, which employ readily available and cost-effective reagents and equipment, will make the subcellular interrogation of large tissue samples an accessible undertaking within the broader research and clinical communities."

Deutsche Bank Championship Set for Friday
The second leg of the FedEx Cup Playoffs begins Friday - with a rare scheduled Monday finish on Labor Day - at TPC Boston. On hand to defend his title in the $8 million Deutsche Bank Championship will be Charley Hoffman.
After last week's rain-shorted Barclays, which Dustin Johnson won by two strokes after going 19-under 194 over 54 holes, the field for the playoffs was reduced to the top-100 players. In fact, 99 players will be playing this week in the Deutsche Bank Championship.
Hurricane Irene played a big factor at The Barclays, and it also influenced the preparation for TPC Boston. In an effort to minimize potential damage by Irene and its associated tropical storm, workers dismantled much of the special tournament equipment that had been installed. Signage and the green mesh around the bleachers and TV towers were removed, and some corporate boxes and video boards were safely stored.
Kevin Chappell changed his travel plans due to the hurricane. The PGA Tour rookie arrived on Monday at TPC Boston to find no power on the golf course and a darkened clubhouse. "It was like a ghost town around here," Chappell told The Associated Press.
"It was a little bit humbling to see what goes into tournaments," he added. "We get worked up over missing a cut, and it's not the end of the world. You have people out here working their butts off to make sure we have a well-run golf tournament. It's pretty special what we get to do."
As tournament director, Eric Baldwin is the person who makes most of the big decisions before and during the Deutsche Bank Championship. Baldwin said it takes six weeks to prepare the course for the big show. But thanks to Irene, that lead time was significantly reduced.
"We still had 25 to 30 tents that we never put up until the storm passed," Baldwin told the AP. "We took down some of the wind screens. We removed 95 percent of the signage. And then we had no power. Our office went offline for two days so we had to set up a temporary office."
But the players showing up Wednesday for the Pro-Am won't find much amiss. "They will have little to any sense that anything happened," Baldwin said. "That's a testament to all of the guys who do the hard work and never get credit."
At the conclusion of the Deutsche Bank Championship, the Playoffs field will be reduced to the top-70 players prior to the third event, the BMW Championship at Cog Hill in Lemont, Ill. When the BMW Championship ends, there will only be the top-30 points-earners remaining for the season-ending Tour Championship at East Lake in Atlanta.
The FedEx Cup points are quintupled during the four Playoff events. Thanks to his win last week, Dustin Johnson moved to No. 1 on the list, followed by Barclays' runner-up Matt Kuchar. For the complete points standings, visit http://www.pgatour.com/r/stats/current/02394_projections-1.html.

Spiritual Pilgrimage to India: Join Us
In January 2013, a three-year practice to consecrate the Sri Vidya Shrine in Khajuraho, India began in connection with the pilgrimage to the Kumbha Mela. Beginning in September 2015, the Himalayan Institute invites you to return to Khajuraho to conclude this practice by joining our Khajuraho Sadhana Immersion.
The Khajuraho Sadhana Immersion, is a chance to step away from the distractions and demands of worldly life, to join like-minded seekers and become immersed in this awakened environment. There are fourteen practice-driven Sadhana Immersion Sessions that present a rare opportunity to invest in your spiritual quest. The conclusion of the consecration of the Sri Vidya Shrine is a unique point in time, and therefore the most vibrant time to begin a new practice, to conclude a practice or to accelerate and deepen the practice that you have.
A few notes about the Sadhana Immersions:
- Each 10-day session provides the opportunity for personal guidance from Pandit Rajmani Tigunait, Rolf Sovik, Rod Stryker, and other senior Institute teachers, the central element of this experience.
- Select Immersion Sessions offer Study Intensives with Pandit Rajmani Tigunait, Rolf Sovik or Rod Stryker
- A conducive environment for the practice of hatha, pranayama, meditation, prayer, purashcharana
- Optional pilgrimages to other sacred sites such as Allahabad and Banaras.
- Small groups for an intimate and more personal experience
- Free time for study, journaling and contemplation
- Daily satsanga, kirtan, hatha yoga and meditation classes
- Nature hikes in the beauty and tranquility of the surrounding hills and forest preserves
- Comfortable living amenities: modern accommodations in a new residential building, purified water, freshly prepared, delicious meals from locally grown produce
The Sri Vidya Shrine is incomparable and the environment at the HI Khajuraho campus, enriched by tantric history, cannot be replicated: a sacred rock brought from our ancestral cave at Mount Kailash in Tibet, emanates its own subtle energy, filling and sanctifying the space with the gifts of love and inner peace offered by the masters of the Himalayan Tradition. To spend time at this campus with other seekers, engaged in practice, with the assistance of teachers and the support from the shrine is profound. The goal of entering a quiet stillness inside oneself is real and attainable. And a living experience such as this is life-changing: it breathes new life into your personal practice, changing the way you see yourself and the world.
As Pandit Rajmani Tigunait invites you to join us, he asks that you bring "your wonderful heart" and confides that the benefit of doing your practice in the Shrine will help you to see the innate wisdom of your body and how the immense power of your mind is unfolding.
Sign up now – space is limited for each session and some sessions have already been sold out!

"He was one of those men at that time who were very distinguished and great citizens of Kalamazoo," said Marian Klein, who joined the board of Bronson Methodist Hospital when Hatfield was board president and served with him there for several years.
Klein was deliberate in referring to the leaders of that time as "men," since women weren't often in leadership positions. But when she joined the Bronson board in 1976, Hatfield and others welcomed her with open arms.
"Those gentlemen treated me very equally to them, they were very inclusive, and I appreciated it very much," said Klein, who remains on the board of what is now Bronson Healthcare Group.
Hatfield, of Kalamazoo, who retired from his position as chairman of the board and chief executive officer of the former Fidelity Federal Savings & Loan Association in 1981, died Sept. 20. He was 94.
"The word that everybody uses (to describe Hatfield) … is that he was just a true gentleman," said his son, David. "He was very easygoing; he was very considerate; he always put the needs and interests of others before his own."
David Hatfield, who succeeded his father as CEO of Fidelity Federal, said when his father moved from Indiana to join the savings and loan as executive vice president and manager in 1961 he was immediately successful.
"He brought a very caring and stable personality to the position; that's a personality we saw exhibited in virtually every facet of his life," David Hatfield said.
"Everyone in the organization quickly became very comfortable with him. He was also able to become engaged in the community in a number of different organizations."
In addition to serving on the Bronson board for about 15 years, including six as president from 1969 to 1974, Philip Hatfield was a member of the Kalamazoo Economic Development Corp., Kalamazoo County Building Authority, which he served as president, Kalamazoo Rotary Club and First United Methodist Church.
He also was involved on boards and committees of the state, and national savings and loan leagues.
In retirement, Hatfield was able to pursue his lifelong love of horses, riding quarter horses for pleasure and competition.
"He … (was) an avid horseman since he was probably 5 or 6 years old," David Hatfield said. "He had a pony at that early age and from that point on there were not many years in his life that he did not have a horse and ride actively. He was still riding and showing well into his 80s.
"He managed to get both of my daughters involved (in horseback riding) and that was a special relationship he had with both of my girls because of that shared interest."
Philip Hatfield's wife, Rosemary, said they would go to a ranch in Arizona for two or three weeks each winter where he was a well-respected horseman.
"Knowing he was a good rider, they let him … go out in the morning with the wranglers and bring the horses in for the customers," she said.
Hatfield was born Aug. 26, 1916, in Bedford, Ind. He graduated from Culver Military Academy and Indiana University before beginning his banking career in Bedford.
Hatfield was preceded in death by his first wife, Marion, in 1967.
He is survived by Rosemary, whom he married in 1972; a son and daughter-in-law, David and Deb Hatfield, of Hastings; a daughter, Nancy Hatfield, of Livingston, Mont.; a stepdaughter and her husband, JoAnn and Raoul Yochim, of Kalamazoo; and a stepson and his wife, Jim and Julie Betty, of Missoula, Mont.; two granddaughters; and 12 step-grandchildren.
Services were handled by the Langeland Family Funeral Homes.

Thanks for being patient, all!
Michael Weiss - Online Interview
What a candid interview and I liked his response to the question concerning his horrible LP music. It was bad music but I can respect where he's coming from.
Mikey looked really hot in the tank top and jeans. I'm even getting into the blond hair.
I think he took on some really tough questions that I might have sidestepped, or at least gotten defensive about.
What's more "tacky & tasteless" than calling someone "tacky & tasteless" in an interview? And since when is consistantly finishing in the top 6 at nats and worlds over a 8 year period a "rollercoaster" career? You'd think he was Chen Lu or something. Sometimes I thing Kwan has just ruined the sport.
What a great interview! And Mike looks really handsome in the photos..., WOW.
I started to like Mike´s skating in Nagano Olympics and have felt respect towards him in person in general. That respect even grows because of this interview. He gives great, mature answers and handles also the tough questions perfectly and showing great tact. The words which come into my mind describing the impression I get of his person: sincere and open. WOW, what a guy!

great interview (and pics). It's wonderful to see someone who still competes at an elite level able to balance a family life as well.
Thanks Paula, for your hard work putting that great interview together..........(nice pic too ) 42
Thanks for the interview Paula! I enjoyed reading it.
While I delete most questions that have no tact, I leave it up to the interviewee to answer (or not answer) the "gray" ones. I don't edit the questions.What's more "tacky & tasteless" than calling someone "tacky & tasteless" in an interview?
Mike just has class and isn't afraid of a few negative adjectives. It's as simple as that.
THANK YOU for a great interview with a great guy! I continue to have nothing but respect for Mike, and wish him well in the next season.
I think it proves that Michael isn't as cocky and arrogant as the press makes him out to be. He's blunt... but really I've never actually heard the arrogance come from him... a lot of people read into what he says in press releases... and what his webmaster types on his site... just my two cents
I hope he skates awesomly at Nationals this year... cuz I'm going!
Tonichelle, exactly! Blunt does not equal jackass! And congrats on making your decision to go to Nats....actually, Portland in not all THAT far from Reno....maybe would be a good chance for me as well...I'll have to think on that one!
one more seat taken for Michael's cheering section is never a bad thing... really consider it!
Why would anyone consider Mike's LP "tacky and tasteless"? I loved his free program this season, great music and interesting choreography.
It was a good interview, MW is a good role model.
because Americans are not allowed to be patriotic in sport... duh!
Scott Hamilton got a similar reaction -- mostly by judges -- back in the 80s when he did a patriotic themed routine as well... he shrugged it off and kept skating that program.
Well..... some people did think that wearing a blue uniform and skating to "John Brown's Body" in Atlanta, heart of the Confederacy, showed a remarkable disregard for historical context. And while the program might have had some personal significance for Mike, for some European spectators in Dortmund it may have come across only as a crass display of ugly-Americanism. I personally wouldn't go so far as to call it "tacky and tasteless", but it does seem like he could have come up with a program that was less politically "loaded" and that wouldn't rub many viewers the wrong way for reasons that had nothing to do with his actual skating.Originally posted by registered

WINCHESTER - A West Virginia man burglarized several properties in Frederick County, one of which he struck twice, from 2010 through late last year, according to authorities.
A grand jury indicted William Gene George Jr., 40, of 1693 Files Cross Roads, Martinsburg, on Thursday in Frederick County on three counts each of breaking and entering a building, one count of breaking and entering into a dwelling and five counts of grand larceny. Indictments charge George with committing the offenses between Oct. 1, 2010, and Dec. 27 or 28, 2011.
George posted bond for his release from the Northwestern Regional Adult Detention Center in mid-January, a jail worker said Friday.
George broke into a building affixed to realty owned by Charles William Orndoff Sr. sometime between Oct. 1, 2010, and March 31, 2011, according to an indictment. The defendant took from the building six Victorian fireplace mantles and seven mirrors with wooden frames, all valued at more than $200, the indictment states.
Sometime between Dec. 1, 2010, and Aug. 23, 2011, George broke into a building connected to property owned by Elizabeth Ann Haymaker, according to another indictment. George took Lionel trains, figurines, photo albums, foot lockers, Christmas decorations, stamp collections and personal items valued at more than $200, the indictment states.
The grand jury indicted George for breaking into a building connected to property owned by Kelly Bennett Ritter sometime between Dec. 4 and Dec. 6. George took from Ritter a Honda Fourtrax 4x4 four-wheeler, a Honda Rubicon TRX FA four-wheeler, a Coleman generator, a Stihl chainsaw and a set of chrome ramps, all valued at more than $200, according to the indictment.
George broke into the home of Mildred Louise Taylor sometime on either Dec. 15 or 16, his indictment states.
George took a tool box containing miscellaneous tools and an iron bench with a horse head all valued at more than $200 from Taylor's home, according to the indictment.
Authorities claim in another indictment that George stole more items from Orndoff - tools and equipment, chains, desk drawers, tires and wheels, all valued at more than $200 - sometime on either Dec. 27 or 28.

It no longer seems to matter, does it? Vince Young? Big deal. I don't know if any of you feel that way, but that's what occurs to me. If the Texans had been beaten on Sunday, I'm not sure I'd feel the same way. Right now, though, the Texans seem to be growing as a team. David Carr is playing the way we hoped he would play, and that rookie class has been tremendous.
Kevin Fujii: Chronicle
Vince Young celebrates the Longhorns' national championship.
In the end, the Vince-Reggie-Mario debate will boil down to which team wins the most games. If the Texans get to the playoffs first, it won't matter as much if Reggie outplays Mario. Fans want a team to cheer for, and the Texans are worth cheering for at the moment.
I'm one of the people who urged the Texans to draft Vince Young. I believed he had winning intangibles the team needed. Gary Kubiak decided he could win with David Carr. He deserved a chance to enact his vision of the franchise. At that point, it became a Mario-Reggie debate. Hey, what if they were right about that one, too?
I'm personally sick of the debate. It went on for months. It was wonderful in one season because it meant people cared about the Texans. On the other hand, it became an anti-Longhorn campaign, anti-Carr campaign, anti-Texans campaign. I was never so happy to see a draft day come. It'll be debated for years, but it'll eventually cool down, especially if the Texans lose.
I missed this quote from USA TODAY on Smudgegate. "It was so blatant," Cardinals hitting coach Hal McRae said. "What was so strange about it was how obvious it was, in the World Series. It's a shame a guy would cheat in a World Series game. It hurts the integrity of the game. He wasn't just cheating by using pine tar; he was scuffing balls, too. We collected about five or six balls that are scuffed. He had to be using his fingernails or something."
How about Jerry undermining the Tuna? Jerry says Drew should be the starter. Tuna is going to name Romo. They'd better be careful. T.O. is going to get upset. Everyone knows it's about him.

A Canyon Country man who shot up the American Beauty condo complex with a machine gun eight years ago pleaded guilty to five criminal counts in a more recent series of offenses, including two counts of felony battery on a peace officer and three counts of extortion, a deputy district attorney said Wednesday.
Tavaion Major Sowell, 26, appeared in Antelope Valley Superior Court last week on several felony counts.
"He was immediately sentenced to 14 years in state prison," Deputy District Attorney Jon Hatami told said Wednesday.
"This is the guy who used a machine gun to shoot up the American Beauty apartment complex in Canyon Country in March 2004," he said.
Two adults and two juveniles — one being Sowell — were arrested in the 2004 incident.
No one was hit by any of the bullets that peppered several dwellings at that time, The Signal reported in 2004.
On Monday, Sowell pleaded guilty to a series of crimes related to an extortion case in Lancaster, he said.
Sowell was extorting money from a Lancaster lawyer until the lawyer finally contacted sheriff's deputies in Lancaster, he said.
"He was extorting that attorney and it went on for a long time with thousands of dollars involved," Hatami said.
"The (extortion) victim ended up finally contacting the sheriff," he said.
Detectives with the Sheriff's Department Major Crimes unit carried out a "sting operation" in which detectives met up with Sowell at a Western Union branch in Lancaster.
"When the defendant was apprehended he tried to escape," Hatami said. "A deputy was pushed to the ground. There was a fight."
That confrontation led to the charges of assaulting two peace officers, he said.
"We're all happy with the sentence," he said.
"The (extortion) victim is happy, both (assaulted) detectives are happy," he said.

Instead, I decided to use my gift card to treat myself to food items I wouldn't normally buy. I got some nice steaks for the grill and some cookies from the bakery. When I headed to the produce section for corn on the cob, I spotted it … Rhubarb. Read More »

We have undertaken a new survey for bright quasars (R \le 19.5) with redshifts z > 4 in the southern hemisphere. The candidates were selected using the B-R color technique using B\rm J and R UK Schmidt plates for over 150 new fields from declinations south of \delta=-20. The plate material was measured using the Automated Plate Measuring facility at the Royal Greenwich Observatory in Cambridge and the survey is underway using the Dupont 100" telescope at Las Campanas. We discovered 16 quasars with redshifts 3.8 < z < 4.8 in 1997 and we will present these, plus the results of our November, 1998 observing run.

Munros come in all shapes - some have limited ascent, requiring short, straightforward days, which makes them ideal for winter walking.
Ben Chonzie stands in a fairly featureless area that starts to the east of Glen Ogle, and stretches eastwards between Loch Tay to the north and Loch Earn to the south. In modern transport terms it is only bisected much further east by the minor road that runs from Amulree to Kenmore at the east end of Loch Tay. Apart from Ben Chonzie, there are three Corbetts in this area and all share the similar features of rounded grassy tops. Three major glens intrude, Lednock, Turret and Almond, to break some of the monotony. There are only a few craggy parts - for example at the top end of Glen Turret. You may find the terrain to be dull and characterless, depending on your tastes.
The Gaelic name is Beinn na Coinnich, probably an anglicised corruption. It means mossy mountain, an apt description of the terrain and quite a contrast to the more fertile low land to the south around Crieff and Comrie. Another suggestion is a corruption of Beinn a' Chaoineidh, hill of weeping. If Glen Turret, from Glen Torradh, could mean glen of burial, then who knows - it might all refer back to Roman times. Evidence of their presence abounds locally, including the site of a fort south-east of Crieff, and the Roman road running eastwards over the Gask Ridge.
While Ordnance Survey map 51 shows Ben Chonzie, map 52, Pitlochry to Crieff, is required for the Glen Turret approach from Crieff, suggested for this week's walk.
It is permissible to drive all the way on tarmac road to a car park by the Loch Turret Dam. Disregard any signs saying it's a private road - you have every right to drive to the dam and start from there. Admittedly on a less rugged scale, Loch Turret (and the surrounding hills) remind me at times of a smaller version of Loch Muick.
A track goes along the eastern shore of the reservoir with the slopes of Auchnafree Hill just to the north. The track continues, at least in tyre-track form, almost to Lochan Uaine. Crossing the Turret Burn at the top end of the reservoir is seldom a problem, and a westerly approach to the flattish area to the south of Ben Chonzie should present no difficulties, but I would recommend carrying on to Lochan Uaine, nestling below the eastern crags of Ben Chonzie.
The crags are well interspersed and even in mist present little problem, so a more direct western route can be used following the line of a stream that flows into the lochan. Even better is to go a bit further north from the lochan, weaving in and out through broken terrain, then up a grassy ramp for the top.
Instead of retracing your steps, a more circular walk can be arranged by returning along the high grassy area, dropping to the 786m top of Carn Chois with its trig point, following the line of fence posts mentioned under the popular route, before descending to the dam. The walk back to the car can be in the gathering gloom.
I have many memories of Ben Chonzie, including an association with hill food one summer. When Margaret first decided to share the delights of hillwalking, it had been a while since she had climbed anything higher than a horse, so an easy hill was required. Enter Ben Chonzie.
A small family outing was arranged. I soon realised, however, that the term "hill food" was being misunderstood as Margaret started to organise for everyone instead of each walker being responsible for themselves. The subsequent events turned out to be most embarrassing, as a picnic cloth was spread out on the hillside. As the others sat in the heather gleefully unpacking crab, drumsticks, salad and mini wine bottles, I stood apart guarding my hill-cred, hoping that none of my friends would chance by.

This concise but detailed, factual but readable monograph is about breast feeding, a subject often neglected. Interest in this type of feeding is not dead, even in the United States where the lowest percentage of women breast feed of all the countries of the world. Although there are statements in some sections that may cause dissent, the straightforward discussion would be a valuable aid for anyone involved in helping a new mother successfully breast feed her baby. The intelligent mother could use the book herself without resorting to the use of a standard or medical dictionary and the La Leche League should enthusiastically recommend the work. With a delightful style, so often demonstrated by English medical writers, the author rarely equivocates: "The simplest recipe for helping a baby to feed goes as follows: hold the baby on your arm with your hand somewhere near the nappy, aim the nipple at

Hi Annie,
Yes, to lose your carbs should be under 100g daily independent of your total caloric intake. Total calories still do matter, though - if you're consuming 2500 calories daily, even with your carbs under 100g you probably won't experience much fat loss. I aim for 1400-1800 cals daily when eating to lose fat (I'm female, 5'7, 155 lb @ about 23% body fat), and this usually ends up being 50-60g fat, 10-15g carbs and the rest protein.

Eviction closes Villa Park's lone gas station
VILLA PARK – Orange County's smallest city just lost its only gas station.
Frank's Union 76 was abruptly closed Tuesday morning following a long dispute between the station's operator and the property owner at the Villa Park Towne Centre.
Sheriff's deputies arrived at about 7 a.m. to evict gas-station operator Frank Younis. By 9 a.m., the station was surrounded by a chain-link fence. The station, with a full-service auto shop, had been open for about four decades.
The site's owner, Villa Park Gas Station LLC, has been trying to replace the gas station with a new tenant, a Chase Bank. Chase would be the fourth bank inside the Towne Centre.
Younis said the owner stopped accepting his monthly rent of $14,000 in November.
"They wanted me out all along," he said. "There's nothing I could have done to stay. I'm basically bankrupt now."
Calls from the Orange County Register to the owner were not returned on Tuesday.
Younis said he invested tens of thousands of dollars in updating the station and paying off sales tax from the previous gas-station owner after taking over the business in January 2010. He said he invested in the station believing he was under a 20-year lease. But the owner later told him his lease was month to month, he said. Younis has since filed a lawsuit against the owner. Younis said that 10 of his mechanics and attendants are now without jobs.
In October, the Villa Park City Council approved a 45-day moratorium that prevented new businesses in the shopping center that weren't retail or restaurants. In November, it extended the moratorium for an additional 10 months to give the city extra time to look at what mix of restaurants, stores and banks would serve residents best.
The Towne Centre contains 13 parcels with 11 different owners. Ryan Smoot, assistant city manager, said the city can control the zoning for the area, but it can't tell owners what specific businesses to include.
On Tuesday, customers arrived to pump gas only to find the station closed.
Some in the 5,900-resident city have said that the shopping center needs a gas station more than a fourth bank. The closest station is one mile away, on Tustin Street in Orange.
"This center serves as a one-stop shop for residents," said Debbie Graham. "Now it feels like there is a big hole."

LEWISTOWN - The summer months are the perfect time to be outdoors and have a picnic with your family. Whether you're having a picnic in the park, at the beach or in your own backyard, keeping food safe and sanitary is the first step to a perfect picnic.
Food can spoil quickly on hot days. Keep food in the cooler until you're ready to eat, and put food back in the cooler as soon as possible when finished. Practice proper food safety techniques to prevent the growth of foodborne bacteria. Do not keep sandwiches, protein foods, dairy foods or mayonnaise-based salads at room temperature or outside in the heat for extended periods of time. These foods are more susceptible to bacterial growth. This will help prevent illness caused by improper storage of foods.
With so many fruits and vegetables in season, summer picnics are the perfect time to take advantage of nature's bounty. A healthy lunch should include protein as well as lots of vegetables and fruits.

Sandwiches are easy picnic choices. If you pack sandwiches, getting whole grain goodness is easy with whole wheat rolls or multigrain bread. Also, salads are good options, incorporating lots of vegetables such as lettuce, spinach, tomatoes, cucumbers, celery, carrots, peppers and protein such as beans, diced ham or turkey, eggs and cheese.
Try a simple cold grain salad made with brown rice, couscous, pasta or quinoa with chopped vegetables and olive oil. Nuts and seeds are also a good source of protein and can be eaten alone or put into the salad. Try almonds, walnuts and pine nuts or pumpkin, sunflower and sesame seeds to add flavor and crunch to your salad. You could also offer raw vegetables with a dip or salad dressing as a finger-food option for kids.
Remember that nature's candy is fruit. Pack fruit whole if you can, so you have less to clean up later, or slice it up and put it in plastic containers that you can serve from later. Watermelon, cantaloupe and honeydew melon are popular picnic choices. Apples, peaches, pears, plums and nectarines are easy to pack and are good nutritional sources for everyone to enjoy.
If you and your family can't bear not having an actual dessert, try angel food cake with fresh berries and whipped cream for a low-calorie indulgence.
Finally, don't forget the beverages. Pack water. Do not waste your money on soft drinks or non-nutritive beverages. Use juice boxes as an occasional treat for kids, but even the most healthful juices contribute excess calories. Teach kids to drink water now and they will do this forever. Freeze water bottles and place them in your cooler or bag to help keep foods chilled.
Organize everything you'll need for the day - snack, food, beverages, cutlery and plates - and enjoy the great outdoors.

WASHINGTON - The international prostitution scandal at the Secret Service claimed its first casualties Wednesday. The agency announced three agents would leave the service, even as separate U.S. government investigations were under way into the incident.
The episode took a sharp political turn when presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney said he would fire the agents involved.
The Secret Service did not identify the three agents leaving the government or eight more it said remain on administrative leave. In a statement, it said one supervisor was allowed to retire and another will be fired for cause. A third employee, who was not a supervisor, has resigned.

A couple weeks ago we got a notice in the mail that our Comcast (XFINITY) cable bill was going up at the beginning of 2013 by about $50. Apparently they had mistakenly extended our promotional period (I don't know how that happened) and needed to start billing us what they should have been charging us the last 6 months or so.
Of course – we knew this letter (or one like it) would be arriving at our mailbox soon. It's just a bit of a surprise when it comes. I guess what I thought was most troubling was they disguised the increase as a mistake of theirs and assured us they wouldn't be charging us for that error (Thanks!).
I've written before about my attempts at lowering my Comcast bill by touting our good customer status and loyalty. But, it didn't really go as planned.
Then, I happened upon a special that Financial Expert Jean Chatzky did on the Today show. She polled her readers what one thing they most would like to save money on. The answer: how to lower my cable bill.
The answer didn't surprise. Getting a good rate (and a consistent one at that) is no easy task.
So, using Jean's suggestions, here's how I got our cable bill lowered and how you can too:
Be sure you have some time to negotiate
From when I first picked up the phone to call Comcast, to when I hung up – the whole process took 1 hour. Be sure you have a little time carved out of your day for this phone call. Of course, I did call at the end of the year and Comcast was likely a bit short-staffed given the holidays. Still, know this could take some time.
Do some research
One of the things I did before calling Comcast was to check around the neighborhood to see what folks where paying. In particular, I wanted to see what a competitor of Comcast was charging folks. In this case, it was Dish (or DirectTV). My next door neighbor, was getting a package that was considerably less than what I was getting with Comcast. You'll need this information to make the case for lower rates.
Ask for the Retention Department
Jean Chatzky recommends that when you get on the line with a billing customer representative, that you immediately ask to be transferred to the Retention Department. This was my first mistake. I didn't. I had a helpful and courteous rep who tried their best to offer me a cheaper package, only to come out with about $6 less/per month. I wasn't happy with that and finally asked to be transferred to Retention. Ask for this department right away.
Be polite – but to the point
I never think you have to be rude or inconsiderate to negotiate a better deal. At the same time, you don't have to be a pushover. When you get through to the Retention Department, state the reason of your call: "I see that Dish is offering considerably lower rates than Comcast – and would like to see if there is anything you can do to lower our bill before we decide to leave." Of course, you could eliminate that last part "before we decide to leave" – but I'm just giving you a script that worked for me. When you get to the Retention Department, they already know you're about to leave.
Be prepared to negotiate some
The first offer the customer service representative gives you may not be to your liking. Don't settle. Ask if there is anything further they can do. They'll likely go through a checklist to see what services you are using. In our case, the rep asked us what channels we were using.
I didn't need to spend a lot of time negotiating. The rep gave us a deal to get us back to our original promotional pricing and included an upgrade to our landline (which we use for faxing).
There will likely be a "catch"
To give you the starter promotional prices, Comcast does something similar to what the cell phone companies do. They "lock" you in. To get our bill back to the promotional rate, Comcast required us to stay on for two years. They ensure this by a $150 early termination fee (which goes down by $15 every 3 months after the new rate goes into affect). I don't really see this as a terrible catch – as we won't need to re-negotiate on the pricing every 6 months when the promo expires.
Hope this helps. You should be able to lower your Comcast cable bill too. Please let us know how it worked!
Update (1/11/13): In addition to the lower monthly rate – Comcast also gave us a credit on our account (which amounted to a free month of service. Nice.
Update (8/12/16): If you qualify, you may be able to get Comcast at a much lower rate depending on your income. It's called Internet Essentials and folks can get home internet starting at $9.99/month.
You can save even more by subscribing to DirecTV. Read what Charlie and his family are paying

Pro-Russian forces refused to let a foreign military mission enter Crimea in southern Ukraine this weekend, firing automatic weapons into the air as a warning.
The multinational group of military officers from the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe was trying to enter the embattled Ukrainian peninsula from the north.
The armed men told them they had no authorization to enter Crimea. The foreign officers stopped, and no violence was reported.
Russian President Vladimir Putin isn't responding to increasing international pressure to back away from his invasion into parts of Ukraine.
In a recent phone conversation with Putin, President Barack Obama proposed a diplomatic solution that included the following:
Meanwhile, six U.S. fighter jets are now in Lithuania to bolster air patrols over the Baltics, and a U.S. warship is in the Black Sea to participate in long-planned exercises.
Still, pro-Russian authorities have pushed Crimea's parliament to call for a public referendum to officially vote to become part of Russia.
But U.S. and European Union leaders said they aren't going to recognize that vote.
Meanwhile, Ukraine's interim President Oleksandr Turchynov, a devout evangelical Christian, told the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association that "stories of God's hand abound" in the midst of the Ukrainian crisis.
Turchynov asked believers worldwide to "pray for us so that peace would return and people would be able to live peacefully."
He said he hoped for victory without an armed conflict with Russia, based on the biblical promise, "If God is with us, no one can be against us."

North Carolina State has a chance to really make a mark on the ACC this season. They could feasibly win their division and punch a ticket to the ACC Championship game in December.
Last year they finally figured out how to win games at the end of the season and Russell Wilson came on very strong, becoming the first freshman quarterback to ever make first team All-ACC. He returns, along with the return of players such as top receiver Owen Spencer and star defensive end Willie Young.
I will break down their schedule from their most winnable games to their least winnable games from 11-1. I will predict the results of each game as well.

Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL ) debuted two new iPhones yesterday, including the colorful new iPhone 5C. While no one was expecting Apple to launch a cheap iPhone, the device doesn't even come close to being inexpensive enough for emerging unsubsidized markets like China.
The devil's in the details
With the 5C grabbing much of its tech from the iPhone 5, let's talk about what is new about the device:
- A plastic casing available in green, white, blue, pink, or yellow
- Upgraded front-facing iSight camera for FaceTime HD
- More LTE bands than any other smartphone
- A slightly bigger battery than the iPhone 5, which increases LTE Internet browsing by 2 hours and add 25 more hours of standby time
Apple ditched the iPhone 5 and is replacing it with the 5C, selling the 16GB version for $99 with a two-year contract. That makes it Apple's first new phone being sold for just $99. Other than that, the 5C uses the same A6 chip, Retina display, and other specs as the iPhone 5.
All right, so Apple has a slightly better and more colorful smartphone on the market. Now what?
Not much of a game changer
The Wall Street Journal reported today that Apple just received a network license to sell its iPhone on China Mobile (NYSE: CHL ) . If it proves true, this would give Apple access to China Mobile's 700 million mobile users, but there's just one problem: China largely sells smartphones without subsidies, which means Apple's new device will come in at a staggering $733 in that country. Compare that with rival Samsung selling Android phones in China for around $100 unsubsidized. Lots of colors and even the new iOS 7 don't make up that almost $600 price gap.
That doesn't mean a deal with China Mobile would be insignificant, but without an inexpensive new iPhone, Apple misses out on any low-end smartphone unit sales.
That's bad news for Apple as growth in the high-end smartphone market is slowing and low-end growth increases. With that in mind, I think Apple missed the boat with the 5C. The phone is still a premium device that doesn't offer any significant selling points compared to its competition. While first-time smartphone buyers surge in emerging markets, Apple seems satisfied to stick with premium smartphones and let Samsung and local vendors dominate the low-end market.
Investors should look for more details on a China Mobile deal and if Apple can sell its older phones like the 4S on the carrier. An official deal would be a step in the right direction, but don't expect Apple to dominate the China smartphone market without a truly inexpensive iPhone. For now, it's business as usual at Apple.

I should start with a disclaimer. Or maybe it's a just a "claimer" as it's not meant to cover my ass, but purely to reveal my biases. Unlike "Once," which you might think is a Spanish drama about eleven people, it doesn't require the intellect of Elon Musk to assume "Song One" is about music. It's just diametrically different music than I'd normally listen to and enjoy. So you can completely understand where ("bust a nut inside your eye/ to show you where…") I come from, the title "Song One," brings to my mind this song, "One": http://youtu.be/grlOImCXqW0. So, why the hell am I seeing such a thing? Anne Hathaway.
I've recently wondered if there were any performers which can guarantee I see a movie of theirs. Brad Pitt used to be one. Kate Winslet's always been a favorite. Tom Hanks used to hit them out of the park each time he stepped to the plate. But ultimately, there's no actor whose movie ticket is instantly sold to me by virtue of their presence. Hathaway, however, comes pretty close. Since "Brokeback Mountain," I've only missed four movies in which she's appeared (anyone who wants contend for this title, let me know when the first time was that you'd even heard of "Don Peyote." I'm guessing it was when you checked IMDb to compare your list).
Though "Brokeback" seems like it'd spark the soon-to-be-explained lust-filled quest (for reason's eloquently summarized by Jonah Hill in "Knocked Up": http://youtu.be/-0MrczERAe4), it was actually "Get Smart" where I became an Anne fan (or "FAnnes" as we as a non-existent group don't call ourselves). There was a humor and willingness to be playful and sexualized on her part and I was enchanted ("Ella, Ella, Eh, Eh"). My girlfriend didn't think so (and thus we're no longer together), but at least she supported the idea by not deleting any of Hathaway's "Ellen" appearances until after I was able to view them. My crush was complete.
When I noticed Hathaway was doing a Q&A after a showing of "Song One" at a local theater, it was a no brainer ("I mean a Cobainer") that I buy a ticket for myself. All the typical Ed Grimley/"King of Comedy" ideas of meeting and becoming close ran through my head as I hyped the opportunity with my friends, indulging in my fantasy. The only true deterrent was that I'd have to sit through "Sone One" first. At least it was only 86 minutes.
My fears about the film seemed to be immediately founded when seeing the trailers they paired with it. Schmaltz is not a term I've used very often in my life. I don't mind having a tear jerked from time to time, among other things (Jamaican chicken, that is), but never do I like to cry from wincing embarrassment due to a two-minute promotion. I don't know who the preview for "Old Fashioned" is for, but I'd rather be shanked with a shiv in both eyes than expose them to the movie's full runtime.
"Song One," didn't start any easier, but at least I knew what I was getting into. Hathaway plays Franny, a young woman studying to get her PhD in cultural anthropology. She's summoned home by her mother (Mary Steenburgen), after Franny's younger brother, Henry (Ben Rosenfield) is hit by a car, tuning out the outside world with his headphones. I'll make the assumption that Beats by Dre won't by using this tactic for their next ad campaign, although it'd stand a better chance of enticing me than throwing them on Richard Sherman's head.
Franny visits a comatose Henry in the hospital and since she can't receive any communication from him in his fugue state, she attempts to reconcile with him through his journal of passions. Their previous communication was a fight over Henry deciding to drop out of college to pursue his dream of making music, which is ultimately what caused his current condition. Franny finds Henry's bedroom back at their mother's house adorned with paraphernalia pertaining to folk singer James Forester (Johnny Flynn). She finds a CD with a song Henry intended to send to Forester and a ticket to Forester's show and she trudges forth in attempt to understand her brother's obsession.
It's about here where I started feeling the movie was attempting to speak to me. Franny goes to see a performer. (Just like me and Anne!) After Forester's performance, Franny waits for the selfie-taking crowd to die down. (There are a lot more people to wait out at this screening, but I can do it.) She tells him that her brother is in a hospital after having a brain hemorrhage. (It's like she's giving me a script for how I should approach her.) Forester ends up showing up to Henry's hospital room to play some music and Franny essentially asks him out. (Now I either need to find an already-injured fake sibling or hurt one of my own.) They develop a bond. They have sex. Franny's mom invites him to dinner. She embarrassedly sings a song from her youth. It's the day-dreamer's handbook come to life. The only thing I need now is for life to imitate art.
Aside from the perceived parallels to my personal pursuit, the film was able to surprise me with how much I liked the music. The vast majority of the songs used in the film were written by Jenny Lewis and Johnathan Rice (it's no use for me to pretend I know who they are; you can see through me at this point) and performed by Flynn. As Hathaway noted in her Q&A afterward, as a producer, she didn't want to find an actor who could play music a bit, but rather a musician who could act. While it's apparent that acting is Flynn's second hobby, his mastery of musical instruments was mesmerizing. Whatever good things he gets in his life is well-earned. When Forester whips out his violin during his first performance, even I melted a bit (I'm pretty sure someone spilled water on me).
The movie mainly functions as a celebration of music to the point which anything involving Franny and Henry's relationship (not that there could be much of one while he's in a coma) is pushed aside. There's a beautifully cathartic moment when Franny and Forester dance to Dan Deacon's "Crystal Cat" under a strobe light. For a second, I thought Gaspar Noe had taken his place behind the camera. Instead, that job belonged to writer-director Kate Barker-Froyland, who Hathaway had previous interacted with on the set of "The Devil Wears Prada" and whose script was put into Hathaway's hands by her "Rachel Getting Married" director, Jonathan Demme. Froyland's movie is perfectly amiable and is kind of like "Crazy Heart" for "The Fault in Our Stars" crowd. Though I'm a member of neither film's fan club, sometimes all it takes is the right star.
About that Q&A. Hathaway spoke for about 40 minutes. Her husband, Adam Shulman, a producer on the film alongside Hathaway, was mentioned in the first two. And multiple times afterward. My saliva bubble was burst. As one of her last "A"s to a "Q," Hathaway mentioned the difference between promoting a movie she acted in versus one she produced is she's a lot less shy about trying to get the word out for the latter. Damn. She got me. Hopefully the next time she does one of these, I'll have kin in the hospital.
