RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - Lawyers for the University of North Carolina told an appeals court Saturday that students would be deprived of free-speech rights if the court banned discussions of a book on the Muslim holy text, the Quran.
Three incoming freshmen and a conservative Christian group sued the school last month over the summer reading assignment. A federal judge rejected their lawsuit Thursday and said the assignment did not promote religion.
The Family Policy Network appealed and asked the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond to stop the book discussions. The court was expected to rule before the discussions begin Monday.
Incoming freshman and transfer students were expected to read "Approaching the Quran: The Early Revelations."
The university chose the book after the Sept. 11 attacks to introduce students to ideas shared by about 1 billion Muslims, state attorneys said.
The discussions initiate students into the university's intellectual life and attendance is not required, the school said. In previous years, about 50 percent to 60 percent of new students have participated.

PLAINFIELD — Authorities are seeking the public's help in identifying the shooter of a 5-year-old Plainfield boy who was shot in the face while walking with his mother Thursday afternoon.
The child, who has not been identified, remained in critical but stable condition today at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick, where he was taken after the incident.
Police said that at about 4 p.m. Thursday, the boy was walking with his mother near Plainfield Avenue and South Second Street when a gunman fired several shots, hitting the child once.
Authorities do not believe the boy or the mother were targets in the shooting.
Police said the shooter fled north on Plainfield Avenue, then east on West Front Street.
The mother grabbed her son and transported him to the hospital, authorities said.
Investigators are pursuing several leads in the case, but Plainfield police, who are working with the Union County Prosecutor's Officer, are asking anyone with information about the shooting to call city police Detective Ivelisse Grimmer at (908) 413-3420 or the Union County TIPS Hotline at (908) 654-8477.

Hakutei Ishii played a very important role in the promotion of the Sosaku Hanga art movement. Although he was a well-known painter, he was less successful as a printmaker. His series of Twelve Views of Tokyo was abandoned after nine designs due to a lack of interest from potential buyers.
First Publication: August 2002
Latest Update: June 2013
The chances to become an artist were good for Hakutei as his father was a painter and lithograph. The young guy studied Western painting, went to Europe and later attended the Tokyo School of Fine Arts.
Hakutei Ishii was editor of a small art and literary magazine named Myojo when he met Yamamoto Kanae, a young painter and printmaker, in 1904. Hakutei published a print created by Kanae, titled Fisherman. Art historians consider this publication as a kind of official birth of the Sosaku Hanga art movement. Fisherman was a self-carved and self-printed woodcut in two colors.
The sosaku hanga artists had a kind of religious believe in the complete self-creation of a print - in contrast to the old cooperative teamwork model of Ukiyo-e printmaking. In the traditional ukiyo-e printmaking process the artist made the designs, a highly skilled engraver carved the blocks and a well-trained printer put the final result on paper.
Kanae Yamamoto, Hakutei Ishii and Ishii Tsuruzo founded a new magazine titled Heitan in September 1905. Their inspiration came from such German art magazines like Pan, Simplicissimus and the art nouveau magazine Jugend. And in 1907 Kanae Yamamoto, Hakutei Ishii and some friends founded a new art magazine called Hosun - meaning little thing in Japanese.
The commercial success of these magazines was not the same as the enthusiasm of their founders. Heitan and Hosan disappeared a few years later.
In 1912 Kanae Yamamoto entered a ship that took him to Europe in less than two months. At that time the relationship between Kanae and Hakutei had cooled off for a very private reason. Kanae had fallen in love with Hakutei's younger sister Mitsu. But the Ishii family was against a marriage. Although Hakutei had no objections towards Kanae, he had to follow the family rule.
As part of his art training Hakutei had learned block carving at the printing offices of the Finance Ministry. It was maybe this personal experience and the knowledge about the high skills that woodcut or woodblock carving required that kept Hakutei from becoming a fanatic about the question of self-carving. He knew how technically difficult it was.
From 1910 on, Hakutei Ishii began with the design of a series of Twelve Views of Tokyo - Toyko junikei. the series shows women in traditional kimonos against a plain background with a larger cartouche in the right upper corner with a scene from Tokyo. Hakutei commissioned an experienced engraver, Ingami Bonkotsu (1875-1933) with the carving of the blocks.
The style of the prints is Shin Hanga - the traditional approach of reinvigorating classical ukiyo-e. Hakutei had no mental problem promoting sosaku hanga and making shin hanga prints at the same time. He was no ideologist.
Unfortunately the print series was not too well accepted by the public and did not sell well. Therefore only nine of the originally planned twelve designs were published.
In spite of all the disappointing projects like the magazines or the Twelve Views of Tokyo, Hakutei made his way as a successful and well recognized painter. He exhibited regularly with Shin Bunten and became a member of the Imperial Art Academy. And he had an important influence on other artists. During his career he was a formal and informal teacher for such artists like Unichi Hiratsuka and Kishio Koizumi.

I have been watching our domesticated and Japanese car manufacturers for about 40 years.
I found it unbelievable that our car manufacturers were always bent on building unreliable gas-guzzlers, while the Japanese car manufactures built economical automobiles that lasted.
I drove GM vehicles and Chryslers, Hondas and Toyotas. In time I saw the difference in reliability and economy between the foreign and the domesticated autos.
I have been appalled, disappointed, disgruntled by my conclusion for years.
I saw a cartoon 40 years ago in which a domestic auto dealer was showing an economy car to a customer (probably the Pinto), and the dialog bubble above the dealer's head showed you what he really wanted to sell. It was a picture of a large size sedan the size of a Cadillac.
From that moment on, I believed our domestic auto manufacturers were in bed with our oil giants such as Mobil.
One more thing - we need to stop burning oil, and somehow extract 100 percent of the energy that is contained in it.
Right now, automobiles get less than 25 percent of energy out of gasoline. That is awful.
The internal combustion was a good start; now we need to move onto something better. I am not so sure I really believe what GM is going to do now. Are they really going to build better automobiles?
Take a metallurgy class and you will find out that metals can be manufactured into low-grade steel or high-grade steel.
Quality of design and quality of steel used in any manufacture determines how long a product will last.
So, who is stupid, the consumer or the manufacturer? This is why Consumer Reports still exists, and they are great people.

RapsFan drops by as we walk through the roster at the mid point of the season and play a little game of love 'em or leave 'em. We revisit the off-season acquisition of Antoine Wright and explore the rumours surrounding Josh Howard's desire to come north of the border.

Last game before the All-Star break. First time we'll see Reggie Evans trot his intimidating hulk of a self across the ACC floor. You can bet he'll dive at the first ball he sees even though it'll be a rebound that'll be coming to him anyways. He's hungry for minutes and looking to prove that he deserves them. There's no reason for Triano to tinker with the lineup given our recent success, so Evans has to work very hard to convince Triano that he's more than the ugliest cheerleader the Raptors employ.
No matter who's in town the Toronto Raptors continue to win at home. The suddenly surging Philadelphia 76ers, however, might have a good chance to change that.

Watch 1980s video clip of WWUH in the News!
When the University of Hartford was incorporated just over 50 years ago by business and community leaders, they envisioned a center of education and culture for Greater Hartford. At its core, it would be a university for the community created by the community.
The University has come a long way since its humble beginnings on Hartford's last remaining farm, evolving from a local school for commuters into a comprehensive university that attracts students from throughout the world. Yet it remains true to its original mission of serving as a valued resource for individuals, families, businesses, and communities throughout the Hartford region, offering hundreds of programs that serve the University and its neighbors every day. For over 45 years listener supported WWUH has served an important role in the University's community service mission.
New World Notes - Glenn Greenwald on Civil Liberties
This week on New World Notes: radio program #253, January 8, 2013, from 12:00 to 12:30 p.m., host Kenneth Dowst presents a rousing talk by investigative journalist--and former Constitutional lawyer--Glenn Greenwald.
He explains what "civil liberties" are and why they're worth fighting for. Then he describes the government's systematic destruction of Americans' civil liberties since 9-11-2001. He shows how they got away with it, what the consequences are (all of them bad), and how the people can fight back.
Greenwald was the featured speaker at a conference on civil liberties: "An Injury to One Is an Injury to All", that took place in New Britain, Connecticut, on December 8, 2012. The conference was organized by the Connecticut Coalition to Stop Indefinite Detention: http://ctstopindefinitedetention.com/2. Many thanks to John Schwenk, who recorded the speech on location.

The Prestige
Special guest reviewer: Mr. Smiley!
Mr. Smiley's rating:
Like having an orgasm and saving the whales, all at the same time!
I just love magic so, so much, and the chance to see another movie about magic in the span of only a couple of months nearly made me weep with joy. And I'm not just like anybody who loves magic a little. I love magic almost more than life itself. I can even remember all the way back to when I was four and we were at Sunday school and Father Murphy took me in the back and performed the first magic trick I'd ever seen, the old pull the snake out of the pants trick. It was so special because it was a great trick and I was the only kid who got to see it that day, though I talked to the other kids later and learned that Father Murphy had performed it for them too. Not all of them appreciated magic like me though.
I think it's so special when a director develops a bond with actors because it demonstrates how human beings can overcome anything and there can be peace in the world. You know this must be true when a director works with an actor more than once. It just says so much about the bond of friendship and friendship rocks! It makes me want to smile. Here, Christopher Nolan, who directed the brilliant, wonderful "Batman Begins", works with Christian Bale and Michael Caine again. You just know he must love them so much and their friendship must mean an awful lot to him or else why would he work with them again?
These best friends have made a movie about two magicians who are rivals. Now, I must admit that the movie did kind of make me sad because if the two magicians in the movie, Rupert Angier (Hugh Jackman) and Alfred Borden (Bale), had just been friends like Nolan and Bale and Caine are friends in real life, they wouldn't have needed to be rivals because they would have been friends and held hands and gone to shows together and stuff. Instead, they're always trying to one-up each other. Angier is the better entertainer and Borden is the better magician, yet they never realize how great they'd be together if they just combined their talents.
But really, that's why this movie is so wonderful and made me smile because I realized that maybe if there were ever a person out there who I didn't like, I could look at all their good qualities and be friends with them so that we could use both our best qualities, be friends, and become one super person. It was so unbelievable that I realized this while watching a film about magic tricks. It might have been the greatest experience of my life.
You'll feel prestigious after seeing "The Prestige."

JACKSON, MI – The holiday season can be difficult for children staying at the Interfaith Shelter because they are used to spending it with family at home.
That's part of the reason the Lions Club of Jackson County opened its annual Family Christmas Party to children staying at the Interfaith Shelter for the first time.
The shelter, 414 S. Blackstone St., currently has 21 children staying there during the holidays and several attended the Lions Club party, said shelter Manager Kristina Sims.
"(This is) a very exciting time for them," Sims said of the children who attended the 92nd annual Lions Club party. "They get to celebrate Christmas and get to see Santa Claus."
About 50 people gathered Monday, Dec. 23, at the Cascades Manor House, 1970 Kibby Road, for the Christmas party. The banquet room was decorated in holiday colors as a clown made balloon animals for children waiting to see Santa Claus.
For children staying at the Interfaith Shelter, events are usually held at the shelter so venturing out to the Cascades Manor House was an added treat, Sims said.
"This one little act of kindness will go a long way," said Katie Anderson, assistant manager at the Interfaith Shelter.
Former Lions Club District Governor Roberta Sexton said the Christmas party is an end-of-the-year event during which Lions members bring their family to celebrate the season.
"This is a happy time of season," Sexton said. "We are happy to celebrate with our family and their family. It's about bringing the community together."
Lynette Artis and her 2-year-old daughter, Rmani, are both staying at the Interfaith Shelter. Artis said she was thankful to celebrate Christmas with the Lions Club of Jackson County members.
"It's wonderful," Artis said. "I think it is wonderful for her to be her with her friends."

Black Helicopters by Blythe Woolston; Candlewick Press, 166 pages ($15.99). Ages 12 and up.
This disturbing, compelling short novel holds you in its grip and never lets go. Valkyrie White, 15, has been raised to fear "those people" and the "black helicopters" that killed her mother, then, apparently, her Da. With Da gone, Valkyrie and brother Bo have their instructions. When Bo falls short, Val will complete the mission alone if she must. Woolston, who won the William C. Morris Debut Fiction award for "The Freak Observer," says she was pondering what would make a person become a suicide bomber "a terrible choice - a terrorist's choice - but also the choice of a human being with a mind and a heart and a life before that moment." Woolston makes us see the world from Val's point of view, a world where one is ever-vigilant, where one must follow the plan, where anyone who gets in the way is just so much collateral damage. This is a chilling, thought-provoking tale.

NOS4A2 by Joe Hill; William Morrow (704 pages, $28.99)
It's ironic that "NOS4A2," the book that will in all likelihood be Joe Hill's breakthrough to superstardom, is also the first book in which he's gone all-in with acknowledging his way-above-average literary genes.
Hill, 40, uses a shortened version of his middle name (Hillstrom) and for several years didn't tell anyone he was the son of Stephen King. Hill "came out" in 2007.
By then, he had already received awards for his short stories and had won the prestigious Bram Stoker Award for his collection, "20th Century Ghosts." Two novels followed, "Heart-Shaped Box" in 2007 and "Horns" in 2010. While those contained elements of horror and fantasy, they were heavily symbolic examples of those genres, mostly bereft of the down-and-dirty terror of most of King's work. Not so with "NOS4A2," whose vampire-referencing title is the vanity license plate of its villain, Charles Talent Manx.
A ghastly, not-quite-human specter with a vile sense of humor, Manx trolls for children in his 1938 Rolls-Royce Wraith and then spirits them away to an "amusement park" called Christmasland, where every day is Christmas and unhappy thinking is simply not tolerated. It's an overly decorated holiday phantasm, complete with evil elves, teeth dripping blood and gore, and everything twisty and convoluted, as though seen in a funhouse mirror.
Hill is very much his own writer, at least as talented as King and a smidge more literary in his approach. He takes his time building to the epic horror that awaits in the book's final third.

MySQL is now the third most in-demand skill on Elance, moving up three spots since October.
Over 1,300 MySQL jobs were posted on the freelance-work site in the last 30 days alone. Robin Schumacher, MySQL director of product management, and Brian Aker, principal engineer at Sun Microsystems, are not surprised by the MySQL growth trend, according to a recent press release. "When you need a strong database management system - one that gives you the best TCO (total cost of ownership) - you choose MySQL," Schumacher said. Aker agrees, stating, "The thing that MySQL brought to the table when it came out was the ease of use and the ease of installation. MySQL came out in an era where comparable products were really complex and required a lot of knowledge to be able to use and install. With MySQL the user is able to take the database, download it, install it, understand it, and then apply it to their application."

Version 6.1 of Third Wave System's Production Module NC program optimization software integrates physics-based workpiece material models, cutting tool geometries, CAD/CAM inputs, and machine dynamics to predict and display machining performance indicators not easily attainable from trial-and-error testing. The program modifies feed rates by plotting factors such as force, temperature and spindle power along the entire tool path. This is said to help companies create processes that machine faster and promote better tool life and part quality.
Production Module Version 6.1 offers a variety of features and enhancements. Split arc optimization is an extension of the split-line optimization capability. It is designed to provide additional cycle-time savings for companies working with tool paths that utilize large arc movements with varying workpiece engagements. This functionality enables users to split arc moves into smaller segments and introduce more feed-rate changes for consistent cutting forces.
The CAM interfaces are designed to increase support for new tool geometries and simplify stock geometry selection and coordinate system setups within the software's existing CMA interfaces (NX, Catia, Mastercam and Esprit).
G-code coverage has been expanded with additional toolpath support for G codes such as G68.1, as well as new scaling capabilities for G&L controllers. This expands the range of tool paths that can be optimized using Production Module.

IT WILL PROBABLY BE REMEMBERED as the first transcontinental celebrity divorce-by-fax. But that was only one of many bizarre twists in the breakup of rock royal Phil Collins and his wife of 10 years, Jill Tavelman. The drums began beating on Fleet Street early last month when Collins, 43, the Genesis percussionist and solo star known as rock's Mr. Nice Guy for his work with British charities, began telling audiences during his U.S. concert tour of a romantic encounter he'd had with an old girlfriend.
Back home in their red-brick West Sussex mansion, Tavelman, 38, struck back by accusing Collins of putting his career before his family. According to Tavelman, their 5-year-old daughter Lily "hasn't seen her father for two months. She keeps weeping, 'I want my daddy' Phil sends her faxes, but I know she'd rather hear his voice. Phil doesn't phone because he has to save his voice for the next day."
Then, presumably also in the interest of protecting his famous pipes, Collins informed Tavelman—by fax—that he wanted a divorce. By July 15 he had issued a public statement proclaiming bluntly, "I am not in love with my partner anymore." The rocker also spoke of having had an affair with "the pivotal woman in my teenage years." Press reports later identified her as Lavinia Lang, 43, who had attended theater school in London with Collins. Briefly engaged to be married, they broke up, and Collins later married another classmate, Andrea Brett. (Brett raised their children, Simon, now 17, and Joely, 21, following the couple's 1978 divorce.) Apparently Brett arranged the backstage reunion between her ex and Lang at a 1992 Genesis concert in Los Angeles. According to press reports, Lang and Collins later had a tryst when the band was touring Germany. Lavinia's stepfather, Fred Lang, 67, told reporters that she and Collins have always "carried a torch" for one another, adding, "It's a classic love story as old as Adam and Eve." But Lavinia, a former dancer who now lives in Los Angeles with her husband, TV producer Bret Hudson and their two children, denied the affair. "Lavinia and I are very much in love," her husband said, "and we plan to be together the rest of our lives. Please tell Phil Collins that." By fax, of course.

Q: What's happening with construction in the state?
Olson: Construction is suspended. Some congestion is caused when construction sites are up and running because of gawker slowdown, but there won't be any work to gawk at this morning. MnDOT says work stops at all of them, more than 100 around the state. Then there's a ripple effect because MnDOT works with cities and counties on their projects, so work at those sites is also suspended.
Q: What are some of the projects that have stopped?
Olson: This one along Interstate 94 between Minneapolis and St. Paul, then there's the Highway 169 and Interstate 494 project in the southwest metro. Another is the Lafayette Bridge replacement in St. Paul and the new 101 and Highway 13 interchange in Savage. Then the Highway 36 and Rice Street interchange in St. Paul. In greater Minnesota one of the bigger impacts is suspension of work on Interstate 35 from the northern Twin Cities suburbs up to Duluth.
Q: Have barricades been removed from these sites so you can get through faster?
Olson: Construction crews were supposed to leave work sites in the best condition possible for traffic movement. So that means in some places more lanes are open, but it depends what stage construction is at.
Q: What are some things that normally help commuters that aren't operating today?
Olson: First response trucks that help motorists stopped along the road aren't out there, ramp meters and traffic cameras aren't working, and the MnDOT online traffic map is down. MnPass users who use the fast lanes for a fee won't be able to, because that service is down. The high occupancy lanes are open to car poolers and motorcycles.
Q: For the construction work, what happens to the money for all this?
Olson: It was going to be a big season, and the governor said even more money would go for potholes and other problems. Construction contractors say the delays will cost money. They'll charge mobilizing and de-mobilizing fees. It gets a little lawyerly here, but that's for moving equipment on and off the site. If this drags on, contractors might go off to other states to seek work, and there might be further delays from suppliers.
Q: Can these delays be made up or do construction project get pushed into next season?
Olson: MnDOT can ask contractors to accelerate their work, but that costs extra, and a longer delay pushes things back. MnDOT has suspended awarding new contracts for at least next month so that could delay things considerably.

Brian Windhorst did a nice little review of each first-round draft pick that played in the Summer League. Here's what he had to say about the Pistons' two first-rounders.
July 16, ESPN.com: 15. Rodney Stuckey, Pistons -- One of the talks of summer league, he showed excellent quickness, poise and midrange shooting. There are questions whether he can truly be a point guard, but there is no denying his talent and that he was likely overlooked by many teams in the top half of the draft. ...
27. Arron Afflalo, Pistons -- With his size and willingness to play defense, some believe he'll carve out a role in the league. But offensively, some think he will be challenged. "He's got a flat shot, which means he's going to be very streaky as a shooter," said one executive. That showed in Vegas: he shot 37 percent.
Windhorst's analysis of Stuckey is in agreement with about everyone other observer, and his report on Afflalo's shot being flat sounded familiar.
I thought the flatness of his shot was simply because he was out of basketball-playing shape, but maybe it's a problem that was present in college. He did shoot 46% from the floor his last two seasons at UCLA, so it doesn't seem like consistency was too big of a problem at that level. I think we should take a wait and see approach on this criticism.
Windhorst's analysis of Stuckey is in agreement with about everyone else.

At the age of 5, Michael Bell won first place in the first juried art exhibition he ever entered. As an emerging young artist, he spent a lot of his time in and around New York City, studying art with his maternal grandmother, Violet Vallery, a self-taught artist.
As much as he liked art, Bell also possessed some serious skills on the hard court. Filled with visions of future "Final Four" glories, he headed down south to Carolina on a basketball scholarship for the chance to fulfill his hoop dreams. Once there, living that dream, Bell realized it was really an illusion.
After a semester in Carolina, the artist missed doing his art so much that he wanted to transfer someplace that had a decent art program to further his talents. "My grandmother found Lycoming in an advertisement," Bell said. "The family was ultra-supportive and so we visited; I fell in love with the campus and was fortunate to be able to transfer."
Article Photos
Michael Bell, a graduate of Lycoming College, has two simultaneous art exhibitions in Williamsport. He has art on display at the Community Arts Center, 220 W. Fourth St., and he is a part of Lycoming College's alumni exhibition in Snowden Library. Both exhibitions will be up until Oct. 21. Bell will discuss his work at 2 p.m. Oct. 15 at Lycoming College and will participate in an opening reception at 4:30 p.m. at Lyco and 6 p.m. at the Community Arts Center the same day.
Bell loved it at Lycoming. He was impressed by the professors and although they all had a great influence on his art career, one in particular stood out - Roger Shipley.
"Roger was a blessing to me," Bell said. "He was a total inspiration to my being able to take creative risks and kept urging me to keep going with the cutting edge narratives I was exploring within my works."
He made lasting connections while attending Lycoming.
"I ended up rooming with Tommy Navarro from Williamsport," Bell said. "His grandfather owned the Triangle Tavern at the time and Tommy also worked as a bouncer at The Pub. He introduced me to everybody. Some weekends, we'd have Sunday dinners at his house or we'd eat out down at the Triangle while everybody else on campus was eating dorm food. It was just like being back home."
As a student at Lycoming, he also made a lot of his friends from Williamsport who either worked at or whose families owned a lot of the bars and restaurants in town, including Louie Miele, who runs MIELE Amusements, Inc. on Third Street.
"Louie ended up being best man at my wedding and two other guys I used to hang with from Williamsport (Mike Neyhart and Matt Harvey) ended up becoming roommates of mine in Manhattan," Bell said. "So, Williamsport was good to me on many levels."
Today, Bell is a renowned American artist, most famous for his thematic gangster series paintings and an infamous portrait painting clientele, which includes the late John Gotti and numerous actors from The "Sopranos," "Goodfellas," "A Bronx Tale" and more. His style is distinctively cinematic.
"I'm like a method actor with my art," Bell said. "I only like to paint what I know, what I've experienced and is real to me. That leads me to the subject matter in a lot of my paintings. I also love to write - a lot of my early work was based on poems I had written."
Aside from one group show in 1998 at Lycoming, Bell has not shown in Williamsport. So, when Lynn Estomin, a professor of art at Lycoming, asked Bell to consider submitting work for a juried alumni show, he immediately accepted.
"She's a phenomenal professor in her own right," Bells said. "We both share a passion for creating art that helps domestic violence causes, so, Lynn is near and dear to my heart. After my '6 under 40' article came out in the Lycoming Magazine to celebrate their 200-year anniversary she urged me to submit. I gladly did."
Two of his new large format "Carnevale Italiano" series paintings were chosen for the show by a panel of judges.
Lightning struck twice for Bell because a few days later, the artist was offered another opportunity to show his art locally.
"Upon hearing I was going to participate in a group show at Lycoming, I was contacted by the house manager at the CAC, Jill Woodhead, about the possibility of doing a solo show featuring my "Ticket to Ride" painting series for the same exhibition time period (today through Oct. 21st ) as the Lycoming show," Bell said. This solo show at CAC is his first in Williamsport and the first time ever the artist's entire "Ticket to Ride" series has been exhibited for the public.
The "Ticket to Ride" series at the CAC is based on a screenplay Bell has just finished bearing the same title.
"It's a roller coaster ride of twisted events that starts and ends with a woman on a New York City subway train," he said.
Bell's creative process is like that of a writer, in that it usually begins with a storyline. Something he either wants to explore visually to learn more about on a personal level or something he'd like to learn more about by re-creating it visually.
He begins by using live models whenever possible, either sketching them first from life and-or photographing them for his paintings in order to inject some of that "experience" into the pieces he paints.
Then, "I stretch my own canvases the size and format that makes the most sense with the theme," he said.
For example, his "Ticket to Ride" paintings for the CAC are all squares, 5-feet-by-5-feet large squares to represent being "boxed in" to a certain situation.
"My two 'Carnevale Italiano' paintings for the Lycoming show are 4 feet by 8 feet, more cinematic." Bell said. "Plus, they're in a series that is a prequel series to my 'Ticket to Ride' paintings."
He "blocks in" his paintings using colors like burnt sienna and venetian reds to start, working very thin. From there, he builds up the surface of the painting in oils using thin layers to create an illuminating glow to the works-in the spirit of a Da Vinci or Rembrandt.
"Towards the end, I always find a place for my 'signature drips' within each piece and when I feel I can't go any further with the piece - when it says all I wanted to say and when I become the audience - then I know it's done and I sign it, varnish it and sell it," Bell said.
"Boulevard of Broken Queens" is a great example of Bell's distinctive style. He used Dominic Capone as the model for the guy standing on Queens Boulevard that is slowly transforming into a Coney Island Carnival from the late '70s. Dominic is also Al Capone's great nephew, so he also has some great stories to share with Bell that the artist injected into the piece and storyline.
"I met Dominic when doing a 'Golden Age of Gangsters' show in Chicago," Bell said. "We hit it off, became close friends and he came to visit my studio so I could photograph him for my new painting series."
In addition to his prolific art career, Bell also is the art department chair at both Southern High School and lead art instructor for the Anne Arundel County Gifted Visual Arts Program in Maryland, where he is in charge of creating an intensive college level portfolio development program to 35 of the best student artists county-wide. In the past two years, he's produced two national award-winners in art and last year alone, his students earned more than 2 million 47 thousand dollars in scholarships.
Once he finishes the "Carnevale Italiano" series, Bell would like to exhibit it in its entirety someplace next - either in New York or Chicago - and then he's going to revisit some new material and work a little smaller for a while. More writing is on the agenda too.
"I have three books I'm in the process of writing - one is about how to unlock your creative process over the course of 31 nights, another is about "Ticket to Ride" and the third about my career in arts education," Bell said. "I'm going to seek out publishers actively once they're completed."
The indefatigable artist is looking forward to his Williamsport return next month.
"Come out to Lycoming Friday, Oct. 14th at 2 p.m. for my artist's talk," Bell said. "Stick around for the group reception at 4:30, then follow me over to the Community Arts Center from 6 to 8 for my 'Ticket to Ride' reception."
For more information about the artist, visit MBELLART.com.
The Lycoming College Art Department's juried alumni show will run until Oct. 21 in Snowden Library. Bell's "Ticket To Ride" series is on display at the Community Arts Center through Oct. 21.

Understanding Diesel Fuel
Trawler and motor yacht owners love the sound of their diesels. It is like music to our ears. The diesel power plants are the heart of any vessel. But problems can occur with diesel fuel stored in your used trawler's fuel tanks, affecting those diesels.
It is important to know what diesel fuel is to begin with. Diesel fuel is refined from crude oil. In oil refineries, crude oil is heated, and various hydrocarbon molecules are extracted to create the fuel. Diesel is much heavier than gasoline and evaporates much more slowly. It's often referred to as "fuel oil" because of its consistency. Often forgotten, diesel is an organic matter.
"Give a used trawler diesel engine clean fuel and it will run forever." This old saying is less of an exaggeration than you might think. Repair statistics show that 90% of used trawler diesel engine problems stem from contaminated fuel. The promise of eliminating 9 out of 10 potential failures should put fuel-system maintenance at the top of your list.
The most common signs of fuel contamination in a trawler are clogged filters, and reduced engine performance. However, the absence of these conditions does not necessarily imply that your fuel is not contaminated. In fact, it is likely that every trawler's fuel is somewhat contaminated. Fuel pick-up tubes, where the engine draws fuel from the tank, typically sit about three-quarters of an inch off the bottom of your fuel tank floor. This placement is designed to protect the engine from contamination that has settled to the bottom of the tank. Consequently, you may never realize that you have a fuel contamination problem until the fuel is agitated in some way – such as when you are in rough waters in your trawler.
Water can get into trawler fuel storage tanks in several ways. One is by condensation of humid outside air. Another is during transportation from refineries to distributors. Also by leakage through faulty fill pipes or vents and by careless handling. Water can cause injector nozzle and pump corrosion. It can also cause microorganism growth and fuel filter plugging. Your trawler's water filters should be checked frequently for water and drained as necessary. In cold northern winters, ice formation in fuels containing water creates severe fuel line and filter plugging problems. Regularly removing the water is the most effective means of preventing this problem. However small quantities of alcohol may be used on an emergency basis to prevent fuel line and filter freeze-ups.
Frequent trawler diesel fuel filter changes and the expensive and time consuming task of cleaning diesel fuel tanks have become acceptable periodic maintenance instead of a warning signal for diesel engine failure. Diesel fuel filter elements should last several hundred hours or more and injectors some 15,000 hours. However, since diesel fuel is inherently unstable, solids begin to form and the accumulating tank sludge will eventually clog your diesel fuel filters, ruin your injectors and cause diesel engines to smoke.
Fuel stored in trawler tanks for long periods (6 months and more) requires special attention. This fuel suffers from multiple problems that influence its quality. The presence of free water provides the medium for microbiological growth that result in the formation of slime and acids causing corrosion of metal surfaces such as storage tanks, pumps, injectors, etc. Left unattended this water layer will trap sludge and become the breeding ground for microbes, fungus, yeast and more. This toxic mix produces acids that compromise the integrity of your tank, lines, pumps, fittings and worse, diesel machinery; microbes live in the water and feed on the fuel.
Microbes in the form of bacteria and fungus are present in all diesel fuels. Long periods of fuel storage can create ideal opportunities for microbes to grow in fuel tanks. The first indication of microbial contamination is mucous-like accumulations on fuel-filters and increased requirements for fuel-filter replacement. Microbes can only be removed from the fuel system by polishing or by preventing their occurrences by use of a diesel fuel biocide such as BioBor. I highly recommend using it. You can see how I polished my trawler's fuel at this link.
Another key factor leading to fuel deterioration is mechanical stress caused by the heat and pressure of pumps. Since most diesel engines return considerable amounts of fuel back to the tank, it is easy to see that the engine itself contributes to fuel deterioration.
Should you use diesel fuel additives? There are plenty of additives on the market today that are designed to improve the performance and efficiency of diesel fuel. I prefer to use Marvel Mystery Oil. However, if you use the right additives, you can achieve peak performance from your fuel every time.
Most used trawlers fuel systems have primary and secondary filtering systems installed; Racor is a good example. Each time the engine is operated, the diesel is polished by filtering. A separate polishing system can also be installed that filters the fuel independently of the engine operating.

Kyle Dease, a 2006 Delsea High School graduate, stood in front of a small crowd of parents inside the school auditorium Thursday night.
"Hi, my name is Kyle, and I'm an addict," he said.
Dease stood before the group to tell his story, a cautionary tale of drug addiction that took years to overcome. But, he said, it can be done with help from people who don't waver in their support.
Support, awareness and education about teen drug use was the theme of Thursday's after-school program for parents of Delsea students.
"It's a way to bring awareness to what's going on," said Paul Berardelli, the high school principal who began collaborating last year with Franklin Township police and the Gloucester County Prosecutor's Office after he was shocked to find some students using heroin.
Last year, two students were brought to his office when drug abuse was suspected.
One student, a male athlete with good grades, sat in Berardelli's office. The principal asked him to roll up his sleeves, and there it was — track marks.
"He mentioned the 'h' word, and I was blown away," Berardelli said. "It's nothing I thought I'd see here ... not in this school."
While heroin use among high schoolers was tough for Berardelli to accept, it has been a reality that Franklin Township Police could confirm.
Some parents "think it's a city problem," said police Detective Matt DeCesari, who spoke to a smaller-than-anticipated group of parents in the auditorium. "We're seeing kids more and more going straight up to Camden and bringing drugs back to our town."
Police are also attributing the increase in residential burglaries as well as narcotics arrests in the township in the last year to increases in drug abuse among the young. More of Franklin Township's 18- to 22-year-olds have been picked up for drug-related offenses and burglaries, he said. And more of Franklin Township's young people are being arrested in or near Camden City.
In the first week of January, DeCesari reported 17 Franklin Township residents were arrested for drug-related offenses in Camden County, and five were former Delsea students. Of the 10 drug arrests in Franklin Township this month, four possessed heroin.
"Heroin has always been here," said Danielle LoRusso, with Project Aware and the county prosecutor's Gangs, Guns and Narcotics Task Force. "The reason it's so big is because our kids are addicted to prescription drugs."
Dease told the parents how his drug addiction progressed.
He started smoking marijuana in his sophomore year of high school on the bus to school and on the way home.
"If you take anything from tonight, anything at all," Berardelli told the parents. "When you hear about marijuana use, don't blow that off as a rite of passage."
In the late 1980s and early 1990s, marijuana contained about 5 percent THC, the active chemical in "weed." Today, it's near 60 percent, making it more addictive.
That's how addiction usually starts, DeCesari said. Then on to prescription pain pills that kids can easily obtain from their parents' unlocked medicine cabinets.
The next step could be a full-blown heroin addiction, which gives addicts the same prescription-pill high, but at a much lower cost. One Oxycontin pain pill can cost $80. One bag of heroin goes for about $10.
Then, "The money runs out and they can't afford it," LoRusso said.
Dease, who now owns his own business in Deptford, spent three years shooting up heroin. At the peak of his heroin use, the now 182-pound man weighed a frail 115 pounds. All he owned was one trash bag full of items, he said, and he slept in a tent in Malaga near the Route 47-Route 40 interchange.
"Whether you're raised good or bad — I don't think heroin picks out who it's going to take over ... I never said, 'When I grow up I want to be a heroin addict,'" he offered.
He also never thought he'd be on the school's task force against drug use. Several municipal police officers, members of the prosecutor's office, and Delsea counselors also sit on the anti-drug panel that organized the lecture.
But, "Nobody gave up on me," Dease said. "There is a way out."
Recognizing a developing drug problem early is part of the battle for parents.
Drastic changes in grades, and a tendency to lie around and sleep are signs, according to DeCesari.
Parents should look for the obvious paraphernalia like pipes and needles. Other items, however, aren't so easy to tie to drugs. Spoons and soda bottle caps, for instance, are used to heat drugs for injection. Small baggies and waxy strips of paper, often stamped, are also indicators of heroin use.
Plus, fingertip burns and abscesses are bodily signs of smoking a drug.
"The last thing we want to do is put someone with a problem in jail," LoRusso said.
The prosecutor's office, she added, is after the drug dealers who are supplying the addicts.
"We're not out to lock up people who are addicted to drugs," she said. "Our goal is to get those supplying them with drugs."

Missing money
A Summerville man reported that he is missing $1,000 in U.S. currency from his residence. He said he had some $600 in paper currency in a box inside his master bedroom closet and another $400 in change in two buckets, also in the closet.
The man said the last time he saw his money was on or about Feb. 18; he noticed it missing on Feb. 22.
He said he has not noticed any signs of forced entry, but said the back door to his residence will not lock and has been broken for about a month.
Get those stories straight…
An officer responded to a call about a possible wanted person staying at the Econo-Lodge on Holiday Drive in Summerville. The officer went to a room where the subject was allegedly staying and made contact with a male in the room. The officer asked the subject if his name was "Chad" and the subject replied that it was. The officer then told the subject that someone had reported that the subject was staying there and had an active warrant against him. The officer then asked if the subject had any identification. The subject replied that he did not, but provided a name and a birthdate.
The officer ran that information through NCIC and it came back negative; in the meantime, the officer noticed the subject had opened a drawer next to the bed to get a cigarette and saw the subject's wallet in the drawer. The officer asked if the wallet belonged to the subject, to which the subject replied that it was not.
The officer checked the wallet, which contained the subject's S.C. identification card and proper identity and address information. The officer then arrested the subject for giving false information to the police and transported him to Hill-Finklea Detention Center.
Scam alert
A Summerville woman reported that her 80-year-old father has been receiving telephone calls from a male subject who identifies himself as "Bob Miller," who speaks with a foreign accent. The subject has told the complainant's father that he has won $2.5 million dollars but needs to send $15,000 to an address in Tampa to cover the taxes. The subject then changed the amount, stating that once the man sends the $15,000 he will receive his $1.5 million dollars. The subject also stated that the man won a Cadillac car and asked how many family members would be available for a winner's photograph.
The complainant went on to state that her father withdrew $15,000 dollars from his bank account and sent it via overnight mail to the address the subject provided him. However, the complainant was able to contact the Tampa, Fla. Postmaster to intercept the package. Currently, the postmaster has secured the money for safekeeping.

I like munching on the candied peels, but you can sprinkle a few peels on vanilla or chocolate ice cream or add some to your muffin batter.
Candied Lemon Peels
Makes about 3 cups
6 large Meyer lemons
6 cups sugar
1/3 cup light corn syrup
2 cups water
Remove the peel with the pith from the fruit and cut into strips about 1/2 inch wide and about 3-1/2 inches long. Blanch the peel in boiling water three times for 10 minutes each time.
In a heavy saucepan, combine 4 cups of the sugar, the corn syrup and the water. Bring to a boil and simmer for 20 minutes or until thick and syrupy. Add the peel and simmer for 35 to 45 minutes, until translucent. Sprinkle the remaining sugar onto a baking sheet or a large platter lined with parchment or waxed paper.
Working in small batches drain the peel and dredge it in the sugar. Let the peel dry in a cool, dry place for 24 hours, then pack into airtight containers.

So this GIF will sum things up:
This game wasn't that far from being tied. Mike Smith simply beat the Penguins. It didn't help the Pens fell down 2-0 early and just weren't able to recover. Malkin played the third period like he was in a contest with Vladimir Putin to see who is more unstable. It's actually more funny than it is concerning.
Our Three
3. Michalek
Missed that :)… Michalek's last goal was 83 games ago when he was with the Penguins, and it was against the Coyotes, so of course he would score
2. Mike Riberio
Can't shake the fact Riberio looks like a terrorist that would be in "24." He had a goal and an assist.
1. Mike Smith.
Smith was too good. He made a few highlight-reel saves. Got some love from the posts too.
Looked like he wanted to prove to Bylsma he should start in Sochi. Just kidding. Smith is Canadian. whatever

It looks like Tyson Chandler has been enjoying his offseason, but as "freshyabish," the Reddit user who posted this photo, said, it also looks like he's been skipping leg day at the gym.
Although the Reddit user claims the photo is original, it's still unclear if the image has been photoshopped in any way.
Hat tip to Reddit for the find.

Top 10 technology villains of 2012
We count down the top 10 bad actors in information technology this year
Mark Zuckerberg
Zuckerberg has a subtle charm about his villainy. With a different telling his story could be one of Orwell's best.
As a Big Brother style all-seeing eye, his Facebook is the stuff that 1984 is made of. A machine that controls the message? Facebook. The loss of individual privacy and the loss of the right to vote about community policies? That's Facebook. A single figurehead? Yup, that too.
If this was a pantomime, people would boo and hiss at the mention of Facebook and Zuckerberg. And if he had one, the Zuck character would be twirling his moustache and chortling as he destroyed privacy.
That innocent deer-in-the-headlights expression Zuckerberg often wears in public? In our opinion, we imagine that he's really thinking something like, "I can't believe you dumb f**ks are really letting me get away with this."
We don't know about you, but we were excited when 4G cellular networks finally arrived in the UK earlier this year, a move that saw us Brits finally catching up with the US and other parts of Europe. But there's one slight, well, massive problem with it - we can't bloody afford it.
EE has been the first mobile network to bring this "superfast" connectivity - if you consider 22Mbit/s speeds superfast - to the UK, and for that it should be applauded. However, the bizarrely-named operator has made 4G inaccessible for those who don't have a money tree growing in their back garden. Come on, £56 a month for 8GB of data? Not cool, EE.
Perhaps when its competitors O2 and Vodafone launch LTE services in 2013, EE will take a long hard look at its ridiculous prices. That is unless it wants to find itself on this list again next year.
Steve Ballmer
Steve Ballmer seems to be in the midst of presiding over the impending destruction of Microsoft.
While a couple of writers here at The INQUIRER are cheered by this prospect and believe that it couldn't happen to a nicer company, there remains the fact that Microsoft still drives hardware cycles in the PC industry, and that momentum is faltering.
Ballmer was ultimately responsible for the debacle that was Windows Vista. Microsoft barely recovered from that fiasco with Windows 7, but it lost a lot of trust in corporate accounts in the process. Lately, it has alienated many of the PC hardware OEMs by building its own tablets, directly competing with them, so they are now understandably more open to looking at alternatives. Dell is even selling a high-end laptop preloaded with Linux.
Mark Shuttleworth
Mark Shuttleworth is the founder of Canonical, which develops the Ubuntu Linux distribution, and he seems to have gone over to the dark side.
Unlike Novell, he didn't make a deal with Microsoft, but instead hooked up with another big company based in Seattle, online retailer Amazon, to send it all Ubuntu users' search queries by default.
This has Ubuntu Linux users up in arms - and rightly so - at what they view as a cynical breach of their internet privacy. Since this planned 'feature' of Ubuntu's Lens desktop search tool is turned on by default, rather than opt-in, and adverts from Amazon will be sent to them unencrypted, advocates of online privacy like the Electronic Frontier Foundation steadfastly oppose it.
It remains to be seen if Shuttleworth will come to his senses and abandon this daft scheme to invade unsuspecting Ubuntu Linux users' privacy by selling their search queries.
