My partner rose early on this Thanksgiving morning, with the idea of making a pumpkin cake. She got all the ingredients and equipment together, and discovered that her hand-held mixer was missing its beaters, the thing-a-muh-jigs that snap into the bottom of the mixer and go round and round to mix the cake batter.
True, a cake can be made without an electric mixer but this is the 21st century and we are equipped to mix cakes electrically so we launched a search for those beaters. Not only before breakfast but before we'd had our first cup of coffee. We went through everything in all kitchen drawers. Searched every shelf, moving any item big enough to hide a pair of mixer beaters. We got step ladders and looked on high shelves where nobody has looked in five years. We even looked in places where no mixer beaters could possibly be. Finally we surrendered. Decided the beaters had been thrown out.
Then my parter pulled open a kitchen drawer to get a mixing spoon and there was the pair of beaters, in plain sight, in the first place we had looked when the search began.
The kitchen is a mess but by John we found those infernal beaters and I can hear the mixer whirring now.
Here's my first Thanksgiving thought: When you're searching for something that's lost, you're most likely to find it in a place where you've already looked at least three times.
My second thought: Today I'm grateful we found the beaters because I was afraid I'd miss the kickoff of the football ball, due to searching for mixer parts.

Jenny McCarthy vividly remembers the harrowing realization three years ago that her son Evan, now 5, had autism.
"It started with hand flapping," McCarthy, 34, told Oprah Winfrey on Tuesday's show. There were other telltale indications in her child's behavior, but as McCarthy said, "You only look for the good signs."
Then came the day when Evan suffered a seizure, which doctors – once she got him to the hospital – blamed on a fever. Three weeks later, however, Evan got "a stoned look on his face" while McCarthy and the boy were visiting her parents.
This was another seizure, she thought, "but this one is different. He's not convulsing." Instead, "foam was coming out of his mouth, (and) and after a few minutes, I felt his heart stop," she said.
When the paramedics arrived, she told them about Evan's heart. "They looked at me like I was crazy. I don't know why," she said. Only, as they discovered for themselves, the child's heart was no longer beating, so they administered CPR.
"Why, God? Why me ... Why? Why? Why?" McCarthy recalled thinking in those desperate moments, but then, she said, an inner voice came over her. "Everything's going to come out okay."
Because there was no pediatric hospital near her parents' home, Evan and McCarthy drove three hours back to Los Angeles, during which time Evan suffered several more seizures.
Initially, neurologists believed Evan had epilepsy, by McCarthy's "mommy instinct," as she called it, thought that not to be the case. Finally, a doctor said to her, "'I'm sorry, but your son has autism.' My mommy instinct said, 'This man is right.' I didn't want to believe him ... but ... this man is right. I felt like death."
McCarthy, however, sprung into action. She researched autism on the Internet and was struck by a message that popped up in a corner of the screen. Autism, it told her, "is reversible and treatable."
She worked diligently with her son, putting him on a wheat-free, dairy-free and artificial-additive-free diet to detox his system, and her mantra – which she says is producing results – is "hope, faith, recovery."
McCarthy, who first revealed Evan's condition last May on The View, has put her experiences down in a just-published book, Louder Than Words: A Mother's Journey in Healing Autism.
Evan is McCarthy's son with director John Asher. The couple divorced in 2005, after six years of marriage – which, McCarthy told Winfrey, was strained because of their son's condition.
But, McCarthy also said, there's a new man in her life: Jim Carrey. "He's the 'funny, cute guy' in the book," she told Winfrey and the TV audience. And, she stressed, he is there for Evan.
On the Web site for the Oprah show, McCarthy and actress Holly Robinson Peete, who has discussed her own child's autism with PEOPLE, will answer questions related to the condition. Click here.
"Keep going," said McCarthy as final advice to parents of autistic children. "And we're going to be there online."

HOOVER, Alabama – "Mustang Sally" isn't exactly what you expect to hear when you walk into a library, but that was one of many tunes floating through the air tonight at the Hoover Public Library.
A rock band called The Onlys gave a free two-hour concert in the Library Plaza, attracting about 125 people.
The seven-member band, formerly known as The Cruisers, treated patrons to a variety of music spanning numerous decades, from the 1950s to the present.
Popular songs from the '50s included Chuck Berry's "Johnny B Goode," Bobby Day's "Rockin' Robin," the Five Satins' "In the Still of the Night," and The Spaniels' "Goodnight, Sweetheart, Goodnight."
The Onlys also had a heavy dose of 1960s favorites, such as The McCoy's "Hang on Snoopy," Bobby Lewis' "Tossin' & Turnin,'" Van Morrison's "Brown-eyed Girl" and The Drifters' "Some Kind of Wonderful," which got the audience clapping their hands.
There were at least three Beatles tunes from the '60s as well: "Saw Her Standing There," "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band," and "Come Together."
Hits from the 1970s played tonight included The Knack's "My Sherona," The Cars' "Just What I Needed" and Queen's "Fat-Bottomed Girls."
Several '80s songs made their way onto the playlist, including "867-5309/Jenny," made famous by Tommy Tutone, the Romantics' "What I Like About You" and even a little Prince – "Purple Rain."
More recent songs included Cameo's "Word Up," the Kings of Leon's "Use Somebody" and the only country song played tonight – Brooks & Dunn's "Play Something Country."
Band member Steve Hines of Hoover, who played guitar and keyboard and sang, said this was The Onlys' third time to play at the Hoover Library, but this was by far the biggest crowd they have had there.
The band, many of whose members began playing together in 1980 at Vestavia Hills High School, normally plays private parties, singer David Driskell said.
Other band members include Frank Thomas (vocals), Roger Phillips (drums), Kevin Kilpatrick (vocals, keyboard, guitar), Joey Childers (bass guitar, vocals) and Gary Davis (vocals, drums).
For more information about The Onlys, see the group's Facebook page.

Q: Hi Pat, my business is a new business and I am hearing mixed things about Worker's Compensation Insurance. How many employees do I have to have before I am required to have it for my company?
A: The answer depends on how many employees you have. Any employer who regularly employs four or more workers full-time or part-time is required to have Workers' Compensation Insurance. There are some industry exceptions. Check out this link to get more information. http://www.wcc.sc.gov/Pages/default.aspx
Q: One of my managers gave a two week notice. She ended up not working her full two weeks, it was more like five and a half days. I don't want to pay her for the full two weeks. Can I just pay for the hours worked?
A: No, she is a salaried employee. You can't go back and forth between hourly and salary. You can however only pay for one week or in this case, six days. I would also notify the employee in writing what they are getting paid for and why, especially if he or she decided to just stop showing up without notice.
Q: I'm still a very small business. I need a little help but I can't afford to hire someone on (W-4). Can I hire a contract worker (1099)?
A: Possibly, it would depend on what their responsibilities will be. If this person has the ability to: come and go as they please, have final decision making capabilities and is not dependent on using your equipment to do their job, you may be able to hire them as a contractor. Here is a link with proper guidelines.

Untitled, Purity, 2010
chromogenic print, sintra mount, luster archival laminate no plexi or glass, museum frames wood, Dimensions Variable
I am interested in the gendering of aesthetics and how the concept of beauty is tied to sexual objectification. I utilized male models–living representations of idealized masculinity–in order to explore the semiotics of the construction of gender. I was curious to see what the result would be if I photographed men using the unspoken rules that dictate the way women are conventionally posed in photographs and paintings. Shorter than most of the models, I used a to ladder to shoot them from above while directing my subjects to look at me only with a soft expression. Mostly I asked the models to look away– to be looked at. I asked them to hold their arms close to their bodies as if they felt vulnerable. This was not 'natural' for them. In my photographic approach, I strove to uncover aspects of their masculinity which might otherwise be downplayed for fear of appearing effeminate. The tactics of revealing a man's body, directing his emotions into the realm of what is considered feminine, while posing him in a relatively prone position resulted in a non-normative display of masculinity.As viewers, can we look at aestheticized vulnerability without inserting a gendered, sexual agenda onto it? Do beautiful men fall victim to the virgin/whore dichotomy or does their masculinity protect them from this reduction? What does a rejection of the feminized man reveal about misogyny?

There are various reasons why students attend other colleges for one or two years before transferring to MICA. Some plan to gain additional experience before applying to MICA; some postpone their entry for financial reasons; and some need more time to define their commitment to the visual arts. For more information about transferring to MICA, please contact the Office of Undergraduate Admission at 410.225.2222.
Step 1: Application Forms
You may apply using either the MICA Online Application or the Common Application (for Fall 2017). Please select one option to complete your application process. The application fee is $70 total ($60 application fee; $10 portfolio submission fee).
If you are unable to use either of these applications, please contact the Office of Undergraduate Admission at 410-225-2222 or email@example.com.
Step 2: Portfolio of Artwork
The portfolio should be a selection of recent artwork that represents your artistic interests and demonstrates your technical skills and ability. You should include examples of artwork that reflect the full range of your ideas, interests, experience and abilities in the arts to date. For transfer students, the portfolio is also used to evaluate your post-secondary art experiences in order to determine equivalency to MICA coursework.
Transfer students should prepare a portfolio of 15-30 pieces of artwork that demonstrates a knowledge of college-level coursework. The portfolio should include items that represent basic skills in drawing, painting, color, and design. If enough coursework has been completed, the portfolio should also reflect experience in a major field of study.
The portfolio allows the review committee to evaluate which studio courses will transfer to MICA and determines class standing in your departmental major. Therefore, your portfolio should represent as much work as possible from all studio courses taken while attending other post-secondary institutions.
Please follow the instructions provided in either the Common App or MICA Online Application to upload your portfolio submission.
If you would like a personal review of your original portfolio by an MICA admission representative, we would love to meet you at a National Portfolio Day,* during a visit to your school, or when you schedule an interview and portfolio review as part of your visit to MICA's campus.
*Portfolio Days are hosted by MICA and other members of the National Portfolio Day Association. For information regarding dates, times, and locations visit the NPDA Web site at www.portfolioday.net. You can also call MICA's Office of Undergraduate Admission for information about National Portfolio Days.
Step 3: Essay
Choose one of the writing prompts listed on both the Common App and MICA Online Application forms and write an essay (250 word minimum).
Step 4: Letters of Recommendation
The recommendations of teachers, college counselors, or other professionals who can comment on your art and academic experiences are important to your application. At least one letter of recommendation is required for your application.
Please follow the instructions provided in either the Common App or MICA Online Application to submit your recommender requests and allow them to upload their letters of support through the application service you selected.
Step 5: Activities & Interests
Compile a list of activities, interests, and honors as explained on both the Common App and MICA Online Application forms.
Step 6: Transcripts
A high school diploma or equivalent is required for admission to MICA's undergraduate degree program. Request that an official record of your grades be sent to the Office of Undergraduate Admission from your high school and from all accredited post-secondary institutions attended.
Note: Only courses carrying a grade of C or better will quality for transfer credit. Up to 60 credits required for the BFA degree may be transferred from other accredited colleges. Exceptions will be made in certain cases. Liberal arts courses in which the course content parallels that of courses offered at MICA will be considered for transfer credit. Transfer of studio courses is determined by portfolio review and course equivalency. In some cases, the academic dean will consider waiving course requirements after an evaluation of art achievements gained outside formal school programs.
Step 7: Test Scores
The College Entrance Examination Board Scholastic Achievement Test (SAT) and/or the American College Test (ACT) are not required for transfer admission. However, if English is your second language, you must submit test scores from TOEFL or IELTS exams by March 1 (detailed instructions are included in Step 2 of Admission Procedures and Deadlines for International Students).
Step 8: Enrollment Status Report Form
The Enrollment Status Report Form, detailing a list of courses in which you are currently enrolled, or plan to enroll, must be sent with your application. If you are applying online, you can fax it (410-225-2337) or mail it to the Office of Undergraduate Admission. It should include your name, college/university attending, semester/year, course titles, departments, course numbers, and course descriptions.
Step 9: Course Descriptions
Transfer applicants must submit course descriptions for all courses for which they are requesting transfer credit. These can be faxed (410-225-2337) or mailed.

Stan Postma, P.E.
Vice President and Manager
Carter & Burgess, Inc.
Salt Lake City, Utah
Les Miserables author Victor Hugo wrote, "An invasion of armies can be resisted, but not an idea whose time has come." This certainly applies to the idea of design-build. This method of project development was used almost exclusively by the private sector until the public sector, which normally favors design-bid-build due to its perceived emphasis on low initial project cost, started to take notice of this option's many attractive benefits. Then, in what may have been the sincerest form of flattery, it imitated the private sector and began to use design-build for its own projects.
"I think that public agencies are warming to the use of design-build because it offers them a number of advantages in the areas of time, cost and quality," says Timothy J. Mains, director, government affairs and business policy for the Design-Build Institute of America (DBIA). "It allows them to take advantage of innovative ideas in both design and construction. Also, an increasing number of public success stories are becoming more publicized. In addition, as public owners become more savvy, they are looking more at the overall costslife cycle costs, including operation and maintenanceand are finding that design-build provides them the best value for their tax dollars. It is also easier to couple design-build with other integrated services such as financing, property acquisition, and operation and maintenance, and outsource all of these activities in a public/private partnership endeavor."
"The public sector is looking for ways to design and build more efficiently," agrees Rus Rudden, a senior project executive for Carter & Burgess' national Transportation Programs Division. Rudden is based in the firm's Oakland office and is manager of the construction phase and implementation of the $525 million design-build contract for the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) extension to San Francisco International Airport. "They are also looking for ways to assign coordination responsibilitiesbetween disciplines and trades and between design and constructionthat are hopefully effective as measured by saving time and money and lessening the burden on agency staff."
Despite its benefits and its recent surge in popularity, public agencies are sometimes restricted from using design-build because the decision is made by individual state legislatures. Because each state possesses different statutes and procurement lawslargely written with design-bid-build and public safety in mind and subject to varying interpretationsdesign-build is often allowed on a limited basis with specific demonstration projects mandated to test the process and polish the rules.
Reasons for debate
There are many reasons why so much debate surrounds whether design-build should be fully or partially allowed in each state. First, there are benefits and drawbacks to both design-build and design-bid-build. Second, there are specific issues a government agency must take into consideration when using design-build.
"Government agencies really need to give adequate attention to the life cycle costs of the facility and the qualifications of the prospective proposers to provide fully integrated services, and award on the basis of what provides the best value to their constituents," says Mains. "The lowest bid only represents the lowest initial cost and is not necessarily the 'best value.' They need to be aware of all the benefits and weaknesses of every method of project delivery and every procurement methodology available to them and pick the one that makes the most sense under the circumstances."
Additional factors might include the project's complexity, retaining competition on public projects, and determining if state and federal licensing and procurement laws need modification to better serve the public interest.
The market sector in which design-build is being used must also be taken into account. For instance, there are specific issues government agencies should weigh when using design-build for transportation projects, according to Rudden and Mary S. Nowee, an architect and specifier for Carter & Burgess in Oakland.
First, the agency's requirements within design-build procurement documents will need to be defined in order to obtain the required results while taking advantage of design-build's cost savings. It also must be determined if the project is for an entire new system or one with limited, well-defined interfaces with the existing operating system; the need for control within that system may make design-build an unsuitable candidate. Whether the owner will be able to give up control of final details and portions of the final acceptance criteria must be deliberated; if not, design-build probably isn't a good approach.
The level of community involvement required will also need to be measured; a high level during a design-build contract can introduce cost uncertainties and may make design-build less economical. The detail given in the design-build procurement documents must also be included, since more document detail means less flexibility in time and cost.
"Transportation projects have enormous coordination responsibilities, starting with coordinating utilities, civil works, specialized power requirements and sophisticated electronic systems, and ending with coordinating access to the alignment by various contractors or trades," says Nowee. "When these coordination demands are coupled with political or legislative demands and fast-track strategies to divide design and construction work into many small and medium-size packages to allow many small companies to be involved, the result has been larger coordination responsibilitiesand costson public agencies."
Despite the numerous issues that surface when public agencies decide whether to use design-build, witnessing how the private sector has benefited through the process will prove that design-build is a sound and value-based approach that is here to stay.
Stan Postma is a vice president and manager of the Salt Lake City office of the national consulting firm of Carter & Burgess, where he also directs the office's Public Works and Transportation Programs units. Postma managed the review of the Interstate 15 design-build project in Utah for UDOT. He can be reached at 801-355-1112 or by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The state of design-build
Currently, 46 states permit design-build in the public sector in some form, and the majority of those states have some sort of legislation authorizing the use of design-build. This is either as part of certain pilot programs, or by specific projects or agencies. For example, Ohio has mandatory competitive bid statutes restricting or eliminating design-build, while in Wisconsin, schools and the state are the most significant public entities allowed to use design-build.
Nearly 30 states possess some form of broad design-build legislation. A partial list includes Alaska, Connecticut, Florida, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, and Wisconsin. Some states with broad legislation only permit design-build for use in certain market segments, such as highways, water treatment or education while others allow facilities only, excluding public works and transportation. Several states are looking to innovative financing practices to allow design-build projects as they await legislative authority.
One of the most recent decisions concerning design-build occurred in October 2001, when the Federal Highway Administration published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in the Federal Register. The final rule will establish procedures for design-build contracting on projects costing more than $50 million. Smaller projects will continue to be approved under current rules.
Design-build vs. design-bid-build
Although they sound similar, design-build and design-bid-build are quite different project delivery systems. In design-build, a single entity known as the design-builder is contractually responsible for the project's design and construction. Under design-bid-build, the project's design and construction are contracted separately. Professional design services for public projects are selected on the basis of qualifications by the owner with a negotiated fee. Contracts for construction services are then obtained by competitive bidding.
Like anything else, there are both benefits and drawbacks to each process.

Telephone Tax Excise Refund: Did You Collect Your $30-$60?
|Email Print
In 1898, the telephone excise tax was created to help fund the Spanish American War. The tax was collected long after the war ended and, after a successful constitutional challenge, the IRS agreed to refund the 3% tax for the period between March 2003 and July 2006. What does this mean for everyone? All you needed to do was check a box and the money was yours… except only 71% of tax filers actually claimed it. That means 29% of people walked by that thirty dollar bill and decided not to pick it up. Also, many tax payers who did claim it were actually eligible to claim more if they were willing to do a little paperwork (I can understand taking the easy money and not trying to dig up phone bills, which you probably don't ever keep anyway).
Now, let's say you're one of the taxpayers who failed to claim the refund, how do you get it now and is it worth it? It's easy, you need to file a 1040X, an amended 1040 return, and wait. I estimate that filling out the form and mailing it out probably will take you around 15 minutes, so $30-$60 for 15 minutes isn't bad right?{ 7 comments, please add your thoughts now! }

YOUNGSTOWN - On Friday, U.S. Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl marked his fifth birthday in captivity. Friday afternoon, a group of veterans and community members gathered in Youngstown to show that Bergdahl is not forgotten.
Disabled American Veteran chapters from Mahoning County, Warren and Sharon, Pa., gathered in the square in downtown Youngstown for a prisoner of war rally with a simple, but complicated, message: "Bring Back Bowe."
Bergdahl was captured by Taliban forces on June 30, 2009, near the town of Yahya Khel in Afghanistan. Officials believe he is still alive and being held by the terrorist group in Pakistan. He is listed as the only prisoner of war from the War on Terror military campaign.
Article Video
The rally drew veterans from foreign conflicts, including the Vietnam War and Operation Desert Storm, as well as politicians and legislators such as Youngstown Mayor John McNally and Ohio Rep. Bob Hagan, D-Youngstown.
Bergdahl, 28, is from Sun Valley, Idaho. His plight hit close to home for Mahoning Valley veterans, including Leo Connelly Jr. of the Mahoning County Veterans Commission.
Connelly, a Vietnam War veteran, said that it is "unacceptable" that Bergdahl has had to spend the prime of his life in Taliban custody.

Wayne Stratos, left, of the Mercer County, Pa., Vietnam Era Veterans Association, and Leo Connelly Jr., right, of the Mahoning County Veterans Commission, hold a sign demanding that U.S. Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl be brought home from Afghanistan, where he has been held as a prisoner of war by the Taliban since 2009.
People gathered in downtown Youngstown on Friday afternoon to honor Bergdahl and the estimated American 83,000 POWs missing in conflicts since World War II.
"Today is called the 'un-birthday' party for Bowe, and what we're doing is we're here to try to make people this is aware that this is his fifth birthday (in custody) and we're trying to get him home," Connelly said.
"It's unacceptable that this has been going on for five years, and there is no reason he should not be home. We should be making an attempt to get him home," he said.
A number of veterans group leaders spoke to those gathered in attendance, including Mercer County, Pa., Vietnam Era Veterans Association Chairman Wayne Stratos.
Stratos praised the government's ability to accomplish the incredible, while simultaneously questioning its efforts in bringing home the estimated 83,000 known American POWs currently missing from conflicts since World War II.
With the U.S. winding down its efforts in Afghanistan, Stratos asked if Bergdahl will be left behind as a casualty of the war.
"We can find and capture Saddam Hussein, Navy Seals can be sent to recapture the Maersk Alabama, and Navy Seals went in and Osama bin Laden became history," Stratos said. "We are basically out of Iraq and will be out of Afghanistan by the end of the year, and I ask you, what will be the fate of Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl?"

COLUMBIA — Connor Shaw was across the country when his team was honored before the hometown fans this weekend, but South Carolina was close to his thoughts.
Life has moved on for the former Gamecocks quarterback. Shaw's focus is on preparing for the NFL draft, where he's been told he could be taken as high as the third round. Or he could go undrafted. His professional future hinges on a few short months.
So forgive Shaw if he's been unable to jot down his 10 favorite moments in a Gamecocks uniform, or ponder where his 27-5 record as a starting quarterback places him in South Carolina's football history. Right now, his schedule is jammed, his days flying by fast. His priority last week was the NFLPA Collegiate Bowl in California, where he completed 5 of 6 passes for 70 yards and an uncharacteristic interception.
Even still, South Carolina has been close to his thoughts.
Shaw spoke with The Post and Courier this weekend, part of what will be a regular question-and-answer series with Gamecocks beat writer Ryan Wood leading up to the NFL draft in May. Shaw discussed his legacy at South Carolina, his unprecedented touchdown-to-interception ratio and his conversations with NFL teams.
Q: I know you've been very busy since your final game in the Capital One Bowl. Have you had a chance to sit and think about your legacy at South Carolina, and what does it mean to you?
A: You're right, I have been very busy. I haven't really had a lot of time to just sit down and just think of my last four years in detail, but every time it crosses my mind I can't help but to just smile. I have great memories at South Carolina. I left that place on a very high note, and I'm so fortunate to be able to say that. I'm very thankful for my coaching staff and all my fans that supported me.
Q: What will be your most vivid memory of South Carolina moving forward?
A: Probably playing in Williams-Brice, not losing there, and coming out through the tunnel wearing that garnet jersey. Obviously, my last game is very vivid in my life. It was very emotional coming into the locker room. I remember I walked into the locker room, I was trying to keep my emotions away from everybody on the field, and then I had just everybody come up and hug me. I cried like a baby. It was very difficult for me to take that jersey off for the last time.
Q: When it comes to your legacy, the wins are the first thing fans discuss. Is being remembered as a true winner perhaps the highest praise you can receive as a quarterback?
A: Absolutely. I think a lot of people are caught up in the flashy statistics, what you do on the field. I think at the end of the day, the only stat that counts is a W. Everywhere I've been, I've been very lucky to be part of great coaching staffs and players that surround me that make me look good, but at the end of the day I'm a winner, man. I find a way to win. When you look at the teams, the quarterbacks in the NFL like Russell Wilson, he doesn't put up all the flashy 300-yard, 400-yard performances, but he wins. That's such a vital part in this game.
Q: Let's talk about one stat, which sort of defined your senior season. Your touchdown-to-interception ratio (24 touchdown passes, one interception) is unheard of. Where did that level of efficiency come from?
A: I was never one to turn the ball over. When I got to college, (quarterback coach G.A.) Mangus, I give all the credit in the world to because he harped on me about protecting the ball, and we'd have a chance to win if we won the turnover battle. That's something he ingrained in me. This season, we did a great job of limiting turnovers. I go back, and I think my career is around 50-plus touchdowns and about 15 interceptions (Shaw finished with 56 touchdowns and 16 interceptions), so I'm very pleased with that ratio. Again, I give credit to my quarterback coach on that one.
Q; What's the key for a quarterback to be that efficient throwing the football?
A: Accuracy. It's all about accuracy. A lot of people in this day are caught up in the velocity of the ball, arm strength, and yes that's a key part of the game. But accuracy is vital in this game. If you can put the ball in tight windows and place the ball where you want it to be, you're going to have a chance to win some ballgames. I feel like I've done a good job with that.
Q: What have you been hearing from NFL teams?
A: I've had a great opportunity to talk to a lot of people, and I've heard anywhere from third round to seventh round to undrafted. I know Seattle likes me. They've had me pretty high on their board right now. I've also heard back from teams like San Francisco and Kansas City. We'll see. You never know.
Q: What are some of the things scouts and GMs are saying they like about you as a quarterback?
A: Specifically, talking with John Schneider, the Seattle GM, he said that for one, I'm a winner. Two, I don't turn the ball over. I'm very tough, and I'm competitive. That's what I've been telling everybody and what people have been telling me that they admire and they love as a quarterback. They can tell I'm a leader on the field, and the biggest thing is I'm very competitive. I think all these guys are able to see that on the field.

PASSAGES: Zellweger's Plush New Digs
SWAPPED: Texas-born "Bridget Jones's Diary" star Renée Zellweger, 33, has traded her $1.8 million Hollywood Hills pied-a-terre for a $6.8 million 1930s Bel-Air mansion, according to the L.A. Times. Her new pad reportedly has seven bedrooms and eight baths, a master suite with an office and a workout room, a library, a guest house, maid's quarters, a pool and pool house, and loggia and gardens, as well as a front gate. . . . DIVORCED: Billionaire Sumner Redstone, 79, CEO of Viacom Inc. (which owns CBS, MTV and Paramount Pictures, among other holdings), and his wife of more than 50 years, Phyllis Redstone, have reached a settlement in the dissolution of their marriage, reports Reuters. Financial terms were not disclosed, but she had asked for $3 billion when she filed for divorce in 1999, according to court papers. . . . DIED: Veteran Hollywood animal trainer Frank Inn, 86, whose stables of celebs included movie mutt Benji and "Green Acres" star Arnold the Pig, died Saturday, reports the New York Post. Another Inn trainee was Tramp, the dog in the Douglas household in the ABC '60s sitcom "My Three Sons." . . . CLOSED: Traditional New York celebrity hangout the Russian Tea Room, 76, shut its doors for good Sunday night, a victim of the current financial climate and a wrong-headed $60 million renovation that was completed three years ago. The regulars -- who included stars from stage, screen TV, Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall (which was right next door) -- abandoned their Tea Room once it hiked its prices into the stratosphere and sought the tourist trade.

We talk to the Zinester and filmmaker, Eric Yue, about growing up in NYC, music videos and the movie that started it all.
by Ben Pobjoy
Where did you grow up?
I was born and raised in Queens, New York.
How old are you?
I'm 24 years old.
Did you do photography before segueing into film?
I did take a class in high school doing still photography, though never committed to it. It did instil a love for celluloid and high contrast black and white.
Where did you passion for film come from? How did you get into filmmaking?
I come from a fine arts/painting background. When I was a kid I originally wanted to do SFX makeup, since it was something that was hands-on and it was the epitome of movie magic. I only wanted to become a director after seeing Scorsese's Taxi Driver and that's when I found out that filmmaking could be more than Friday night entertainment.
Like everyone, I'm sure you started out with rag tag tools. What was your first video camera?
My first video camera was my parents' camera which was a Sony Hi-8 they bought in 2002 or so. I used that to take pictures and make little videos of myself. I actually still use that camera to film things; I even shot King Krule and Willis Earl Beal on it for the Church Sessions.
Did you go to school for filmmaking?
I went to NYU Tisch School of the Arts for film and sort-of Minored in painting.
You've done commissions for Nowness and Dazed, how did these come about?
Nowness I got through my rep at Forever Pictures and Dazed was a project that filmmaker AG Rojas asked me to contribute to for his series "Tribute". He saw my video for "Wikispeaks" and thought I would be good to make something for it. I definitely appreciate him asking me.
You seem to have an interest in music videos and films, both of which seem to have a documentary vibe. What draws you to this?
I didn't intend to get into music videos. My world sort of opened up after doing one, and I realized there's a renaissance in music videos now, and a lot of directors my age are doing exciting work within a narrative context. I think most directors in my age group fell into music videos because their friends were making music they liked and felt that they could contribute something visually to it. My 'documentary-style' is in part because of budget reasons and because I like the immediacy of handheld camerawork.
I loved Italian neorealism and thought that the verité-style camerawork felt the most natural. I think, the further I grow, I'll be able to have more control over the worlds that I create.
Physical movement, urbanism and identity seem to influence your work. Can you speak about this?
I grew up in a New York, so I naturally gravitate towards the sounds and textures that appeal to me. EB White said "New York is changeless and changing" and I always keep that in mind when I write something. New York is constantly reshaping itself, everything moves so fast, so maybe that influences the way I see things.
How would you describe your style and intentions?
I would say that it depends on the form. Music videos have a built-in structure so my style reflects the pace and tempo of the song, but in my narrative works I'm interested in characters and people who feel isolated from their environments. I feel that filmmaking is such a new art form and it's increasingly becoming more accessible for people to make them. At this point, I want to make personal films, installations, and things that feel more like poems than novels. As the canvas gets bigger, my ambitions will get bigger as well.
What projects do you have in the works?
I made a video with Ratking featuring King Krule [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpBCXWKx4Tg]
I'm working on an idea with Willis Earl Beal which is a narrative short film set in the outskirts of Seattle. Hopefully this will be made by then. I also am planning on doing the first video for Ratking called "Canal."
What projects are you most proud of?
I like Monday Monday which is my thesis film from NYU. It's my most personal and it reflects my aesthetic the most.
What do you love most about filmmaking?
The best part of filmmaking is that it incorporates so many art forms and when it all comes together it the right way, it holds your attention and the effect is different than a photo or a painting. The best films have a point of view, a distinct world, and since we are capturing 'reality', film has an incredibly unique visceral quality to it.

Large turnout at 'musical' blood drive
As the coordinator of a blood drive last week sponsored by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Woodinville, I wish to give a huge thanks to several who helped make the event so successful.
We got a wonderfully large turnout to listen to live music while they donated, and many of them said they had read about the drive in your newspaper. Thank you for giving us (and the Puget Sound Blood Bank in particular) such good coverage.
Also on our list of helpers for the drive were Ann Hawley, the owner of Comin' Up Roses Florist, and Anna Torkelson, on her staff, who gave us space and did all the lettering on the reader board at the entrance to the Gateway Plaza, at the intersection of I-405 and 160th Street, announcing the blood drive.
In that same shopping mall is a new cafe called Denice's Place. Denice as well, gave us her space on the same reader board, instead of using it herself to advertise her cafe for the very first time. We are very grateful to these ladies for their gifts.
So, again, on behalf of the Blood Bank, we say thanks to all who participated and helped in this blood drive in any way, and especially to all the donors who gave the best gift of all, their blood!
Barbara Ashley-Baker, Bothell

NEW YORK: "God expects us to live with better harmony through ever increasing faith and thus realizing the worth of provided time", said the Senior Metropolitan of the Diocese of North East America Mathews Mar Barnabas.
The Metropolitan was delivering his address while leading the feast of St. Baselios at the Mar Baselios Orthodox Church, Elmont, New York on Saturday, January 1, 2011.
The Metropolitan also confirmed that he was retiring due to advanced age and his wish was to retreat to Kerala and lead a quiet and serene life there. He also wished everyone a New Year clad with peace and brotherhood.
Chor-Episcopos Dr. P.S. Samuel, Fr. John Thomas, the Diocesan Secretary, and Fr. P.G. Mathew have con-celebrated with the Metropolitan at the Holy Tri-mass.
The faithful and the clergy welcomed the Metropolitan earlier in the morning at 9.00 am with lighted candles and ornamental umbrellas.
The Metropolitan also released the new directory of the parish by handing over a copy to Fr. John Thomas.
Metropolitan Mar Barnabas distributed prizes to the children, who won prizes at the regional Sunday School Competitions.
Eapen Samuel, the Parish Secretary, pronounced vote of thanks.

This lyric from Stephen Sondheim's masterpiece musical Company, as crooned out by Elaine Stritch, rung in my head as I found out that master milliner Stephen Jones's show Hats: An Anthology would travel across the pond from the Victoria & Albert Museum in London to the Bard Graduate Center in New York City this Fall. Though English aristocracy continues to include interesting headwear in their luxe lexicon (remember the Royal Wedding?), are hats still so much a sartorial staple in the United States that they warrant an exhibition?Continue Reading →
Marc H. Milleris the man behind an exhibition that is currently going on at the Charles P. Stevenson Library at Bard College in upstate New York, The Presidential Election of 1912 in Cartoons. Drawn from his personal collection these images provide a window into the world of US Presidential politics a hundred years ago when Theodore Roosevelt, who was a Republican and a "Progressive" ran in a hotly contested race. As we gear up for the 2012 elections, these images are a useful reminder about the down and dirty world of politics, what we can expect in the year to come and political mudslinging is nothing new.Continue Reading →

Men's Golf Meets UT Arlington for Saturday Dual
MUNCIE, Ind. -- The Ball State men's golf team will square off with UT Arlington in a dual match Saturday at Waterchase Golf Club in Fort Worth, Texas.
The Cardinals and Mavericks will meet for an 18-hole, match play competition.
Saturday's event will pit a pair of teams ranked in the top 100 nationally. Ball State sits at No. 46, while UT Arlington checks in at No. 93 in the latest Golfweek rankings.
The Cardinals have match play experience this year, having hosted the Mid-American Match Play in Florida in February.
Ball State posted a 2-1 record at that event to finish as the runner-up in an eight-team field. McCormick Clouser managed the team's best individual record that week, winning all three of his matches.
Following Saturday's action with UT Arlington, the Cardinals will remain in the Dallas area to compete Monday and Tuesday in the Jim West Intercollegiate at TPC Craig Ranch.

Even Former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich faces a five-year sentence for lying to federal agents, a federal appeals court ruled there's no evidence that lying harms anybody.
The U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in California ruled Tuesday that, in some cases, people have a "right to lie."
In an historic 2-1 ruling, the panel of three judges found the federal Stolen Valor Act to be unconstitutional. The Stolen Valor Act made it a crime to falsely claim to have won a military honor or decoration
The case involved Xavier Alvarez, an elected member of the California Water Board, who on several occasions in 2007 lied about receiving the nation's highest award, the Medal of Honor.
Judge Milan Smith, who also wrote for Judge Thomas Nelson, said the law went too far, even though many legal experts view deliberate false speech as unprotected by the Constitution.
"We have no doubt that society would be better off if Alvarez would stop spreading worthless, ridiculous, and offensive untruths," Smith wrote.
"But given our historical skepticism of permitting the government to police the line between truth and falsity, and between valuable speech and drivel, we presumptively protect all speech - including false statements - in order that clearly protected speech may flower in the shelter of the First Amendment," he said.
Alvarez no longer sits on the water board.

It's Party Time With Bonbon Balloons!
Looking for something special and completely unique for your children's birthday party decorations? What with baking a cake (or in my case, cheating with a shop-bought one), finding the perfect present, sending out invites, preparing the food…there's enough on a mother's plate to be getting on with. That's why we're mad about Bonbon Balloons. They come in a rainbow of colours each with a beautiful hand-crafted, decorative string and can even be individually designed to suit your tastes.
Bonbon balloons will certainly put a smile on your face, as they come delivered in a box of tissue paper and colourful confetti. On opening the package, the balloon floats up out of the box to reveal a personal message.
There's no doubt about it, these party balloons will go down a treat with kids. Not to mention that your child will be ecstatic that they have the best balloons in town!
We're not the only ones who love Bonbon. They've been featured in numerous magazines including Stylist and Time Out as well as being used for various marketing campaigns and shop window displays including Hoboken Kids as featured below.

No. The threads differ. However, I'm sure Choate, etc, have made aftermarket stuff just for that Benelli.

where might they sell these? i dont see them at cheaperthandirt.com, delta force, or midway.
January 14, 2003, 12:34 PM
Benelli makes a +2 for the Nova. Have you checked their website?
January 14, 2003, 01:50 PM
Part of the problem is that the Nova is relatively new and, unlike the 870, it works just fine out of the box.:neener: [Insert .jpg of me hiding from Dave McC with a big grin on my face here]

when you're using 2 3/4" shells. It's a nice surprise, considering they only list is as a +2 extension. Now if they only offered a thinner recoil pad...
I know that there's a side saddle mount for the Nova from Tacstar (I believe). I got my extension from Brownell's. For the Nova, I think these accessories are available:
Mag extension
Mercury Recoil reducer and mount
Side saddle
On the Beretta Defence website, they also have a nova with a rail on the receiver for a red dot or a scope.
I love my Nova, it's just that the fore end makes her a noisy little girl!

Call for unity
Let's all get beyond all this Republican-Democrat, liberal-conservative nonsense just as we did after 9/11 and come together as Americans. There's been enough time wasted fighting among ourselves.
The flag of my home state, Missouri, says "United we stand, divided we fall." We need to come together as Americans lest the terrorists win.
— Mike Weppner
Symbolism of sports
Mike Lopresti put it well in his commentary "Sport is where joy is, and where some ruin it." Sports is a universal love, a tie that binds all of us, regardless of nationality, race, gender or beliefs. It's one of the truly unifying forces in a fractured world. An attack on a sporting event is an attack on humanity.
— Burnie Harner
I might expand the issue to beyond sports. Joy can be found in many places.
For large groups of people, it's at theaters, parades, concerts, art fairs and religious festivals.
The point: Joy is where one finds it, but we can't let terrorists stop us from looking for it.
— Rich Barnes
Pursuit of justice
Whoever these cowards were, either domestic or foreign terrorists, they might as well have strapped the bombs on their back and blown themselves up. All the country's resources will be brought to bear on them. They are as good as dead.
— William Moore
The U.S. government is extremely good at investigating terrorist attacks. In due course, we shall know everything about the perpetrators. There's little point in indulging in uninformed speculation now.
— Daniel Mocsny
Confront fears
Sadly, this is evidence that people don't need a gun to inflict so much damage. This person used ball bearings and metal. It's a scary thought. Violent people will always find a way to inflict harm. I'm so saddened and frightened.
— Christy Shaw Steadman
Just how safe are we as a nation of freedoms? We are as free as we make ourselves.
We can cower in the dark corners of our basements, or we can show that our freedom is stronger than any radical group or individual.
Stand up and show that we are strong and not afraid to face our greatest fears to stomp out people who intend to do us harm.
— Lou Creola
Letters to the editor:
It was a very tragic day Monday, and challenging for me personally.
I keep thinking that whatever happens in life, the ones we truly love, our friends and the ones who care for us, will always be there. The Boston tragedy is a stark reminder that we may feel we are near the finish line, but things completely unforeseen and beyond our control can suddenly explode.
The important thing is to not run from problems, but face them directly. "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself," as Franklin Roosevelt said.
The senseless acts in Newtown, Conn., Boston and elsewhere must not be ignored, but we cannot allow the gravity of these events to prevent us from continuing to engage in the struggle for freedom and justice for all.
Let us look beyond ourselves and seriously consider the needs of the larger community, including the nation and the world.
Patrick Frank; Arden, N.C.
Deepest condolences to the families and to those injured and killed at the Boston Marathon on Monday.
Terrorism is just that — an effort to bring a nation to its knees using terror. Let all U.S. citizens draw on our courage and overcome this new form of warfare.
We can rise to the occasion with a resilience and fearlessness that strengthens our nation.
Cindy Damm; Seattle

Joe Paterno may not know what Twitter is, but his assistant coaches and players do, and they are giving Penn State football fans more tidbits of information than ever before.
Tom Bradley tweets. So does Jay Paterno, Daryll Clark, A.J. Wallace, Brandon Ware and others. Some of their 140-character updates are informative, some are silly, some are useless.
Still, for diehard PSU fans who can't get enough factoids about their team, Twitter must be a godsend.
The Nittany Lions' first practice of the season Monday went well. Bradley said so. Or tweeted so.
"Practice was like most other first practices ... some good ... some bad. It sure was humid out there though."
The defensive coordinator also wrote, "It was a no pad practice today so mostly teaching was being done. The squad had a good tempo and assigments [sic] by the older players was sharp."
Fact Box
Twitter with the Mirror
Follow Cory Giger on Twitter for updates on Penn State football and links to the Mirror's coverage. Go to http://twitter.com/cgsports12 or log on to Twitter and search for Cory Giger to follow his updates.
Bradley also revealed the answer to a frequent question: "Everybody keeps asking me so here goes ... SEAN LEE IS READY TO GO!"
JayPa liked what he saw during practice Monday, writing, "Good start for the QBs & new WRs."
The quarterbacks coach also explained the logistics of preseason camp: "The players are in summer session this week so we work around their class schedules."
This isn't earth-shattering stuff, to say the least. But think about what's going on here.
Any fan in any location - be it sitting at your computer or on your mobile phone - can get frequent updates from coaches and players on the scene. Never before have fans had this kind of access to PSU football, which is notorious in media circles for its lack of player and coach availability.
The media is not allowed to watch practice or talk to players and coaches every day, yet the players and coaches are tweeting about what's going on in their lives.
Sure, a lot of the tweets are fluff, and it's doubtful Bradley, JayPa or anyone else would offer revealing details about anything newsworthy. For that stuff, fans (hopefully) will still need reporters to do their jobs.
The Twitter universe allows fans to follow as many media outlets and other fans as they wish. With so many newspapers and Web sites covering the Lions, not to mention bloggers and PSU students in the know, virtually anything that happens concerning the team will be updated within seconds.
It's amazing, really, if you think about Twitter from this perspective: Since Joe Paterno doesn't use a computer or cell phone, there almost certainly will be occasions when the rest of the world knows what's going on with the PSU football team before the head coach does.

James Toney, gifted or a student? As well as other boxers
I was way too young to see Toney back in the days, but I've read that his style of fighting as well as a way he taught himself was I heard he would watch tons of tape of "old school" fighters. IE: Ezzard Charles
He would watch them, study them, and shadowbox in ways alike. Was he a student of the game, or gifted athlete?
Also how many great boxers weren't so athletically gifted as they were students of the game?
Boxers I would say were more student: Marquez, Malinaggi, Nicolino Locche, Bernard Hopkins
Hard to make a line of what boxers were more "student" than "gifted athlete" yes a lot of them are students, with gifts that helped them excel.
Can you name some boxers that weren't as so gifted as was their intuition to learn the craft?

James Toney didn't teach himself...He was taught by Bill Miller, one of the greatest trainers ever, himself a student of, I believe, Whitey Bimstein. Bill Miller also trained Emmanuel Steward when he fought as an amateur and was the man behind the scenes in much of the early Kronk success.
Bill Miller was a huge fan of Ezzard Charles and his style of fighting, as is anybody that knows boxing. And a guy being as relaxed in the ring as Toney, that comes from having a teacher that preaches that to you from the first day in the gym. "Relax. Stay loose." Over and over again.
There aren't very many guys that can translate 'only' being naturally gifted athletically into an extended period of success in boxing...Being able to run fast or jump high or however you quantify being athletically gifted hasn't much to do with fighting, if you're fighting guys that know about fighting.
On the other hand, while Toney and Hopkins and Marquez may be 'students of the game' it is not reasonable to suggest that they are not physically gifted as well. They just chose to specialize and focus those gifts, rather than to brag about their basketball abilities.

i think the reason he boxes so well is because is he only spars as training. from what iv heard he doesnt do any running, sit ups ect just spars and he has sparred loads of top guys from a young age. when you train like that your reflexes/angles improve so much that you can fight relaxed and also he carrys no excess muscle that might slow him down through the fight. maybe a bit of fat, but your heart doesnt need to oxygenate your fat.

Great thread Great comments...spot on.
Toney is quite the natural, a great fighter indeed. So many skills, he beat up Rahman with counter punches and threw as many if not more punches per a round while Rahman looked like a chiseled Greek statue and Toney like a buffet eater. But yes, he trains properly and has such a storehouse of natural ability.
Toney is one of my favorites.

James was a gifted athlete with football but boxing was not so natural. I fought out of the same amateur club as James and then fought with him out of Galaxy. Everything that you see was thanks to Bill Miller and tons of sparring once he was pro and hooked up with Jackie. James Toney did not make Bill Miller, Bill Miller built James Toney. Once you get the rolling down the ring is a much more calmed place......... Rockin'

Hahaaaa good choice. I can watch Locche all day (although coverage of him is limited). He is in a way the most unique fighter I've seen.
Smoked and didn't look like a particular athlete in the ring. Didn't need to be, his reflexes seemed so quick.
I'm a bit confused by your choice of Hopkins as being more student and less athletically gifted, I would have put him equal on both terms, isn't he well known for being an excellent athlete?
Agreed about Toney, one of my favourites. Seemed to spend more time practising calling his opponent "*****" that he did doing roadwork haha.

Locche is probably one of the most freakishly gifted athletes I've seen, chain smoked like a ****in boss and didn't put too much effort into his training yet still went 15 rounds easy, same with Monzon, must be something in that Argentinean water

Of that 2.5 million, almost 18% are caused by projectile objects, 13% by blunt objects, 10% by body parts (fingers, elbows, fists, etc.), and 9% by sharp objects.
Of the millions of eye injuries that take place each year, almost half of them (44%) occur in the home and 40% during sport activities. The remaining 16% is taken up by miscellaneous injuries and work-related injuries.
So, regardless of location and how the injury happens, what types of injuries happen most frequently? The following are the 5 most common.
- Scratched Eye. Most commonly, an eye becomes scratched when a foreign body enters it and the individual then rubs the eye in an attempt to remove the irritation. Eyes also become scratched when they are poked by a foreign body. A scratched eye can become serious very quickly, with a fungal infection for example, so seeing a doctor if there is no improvement in a day or two is crucial. In addition, a scratched eye can be worse for individuals who wear contacts.
- Chemical Burn. This type of injury can happen when a chemical is splashed into the eye or transferred from an individual's hands. Fumes and vapors can also cause chemical burn to eyes. Finding out the type of chemical, acid or alkali, is crucial since one (acid) can be washed out more easily than the other (alkali). If eyes become red or blurry or do not improve after 24 hours, see a doctor.
- Flash Burn. Burns to the eyes also can come from sources such as sunlight, welding, tanning booths and sunlamps. Protecting eyes against sunburn, Yes, Your Eyes Can Get a Sunburn, and taking precaution in welding and other situations is key to preventing flash burns.
- Foreign Object in Eye. An object in the eye often leads to a scratched eye (see #1 above), and can be caused even just by an eyelash, dust, contacts and makeup. While time and eye flushing can remove these objects, when a foreign object, such as a fish hook, actually penetrates the eye, self removal is not a good idea. Instead, getting to a doctor right away is important.
- Blow to the Eye. These types of injuries happen often in sports, and the result is usually a swollen, black and blue eye. It's important to check for additional injury, such as a broken eye socket or internal damage, when a blow to the eye occurs.
Perhaps the most startling fact regarding eye injuries, regardless of type and cause, is that 90% of ALL eye injuries could be prevented by wearing protective eyewear. Yet, only 50% of people wear them when working around the house, which is the most likely place to receive an eye injury.
The second factor crucial in preventing permanent eye damage and vision loss is knowing what to do, and sometimes more importantly what NOT to do, if injury does occur.
The following resource list will help you take these two crucial steps, wearing protective eye wear and being prepared if injury does occur.
