Table Details
|Place of Birth (White Population)
|Universe: Total White Population
- 1910 Census publication provided total white foreign born.
- In the county level, aggregation of persons from all foreign places of birth is the same as published total white foreign born. However, in the state level, aggregation of persons from all foreign places of birth over counts Census published white foreign born. This discrepancy occurred because state levelâs total white foreign born counts were derived from aggregating county levelâs total white foreign born. In the county level, depending on the state, selected foreign places of birth were iterated and others were omitted. Even though county levelâs published white foreign born counts were the same as the aggregations of persons from all foreign places of birth, they were less than the actual total foreign born counts had they iterated all places of birth.
- State level did not omitted any places of birth, hence the aggregation of person from all foreign places of birth will always be higher than the published total white foreign born counts (Published white foreign born counts for the State were aggregates of countiesâ total whites from foreign places of birth, and since counties did not iterate all places of birth, state levelâs published total whites with foreign places of birth counts will be lower than aggregation of person from all foreign places of birth).
- In 1910, published census volume also calculated 3 sub-universes: Canada (sum of French and British Canada born), Cuba and West Indies (sum of Cuba and West Indies born), and Turkey (sum of Asian Turkey and European Turkey born).
- All of Louisianaâs counties iterated those who were born in Cuba but did not iterate those that were born in the West Indies and furthermore did not calculate a Cuba and West Indies sub-universe. State of Louisiana and District of Columbia observations iterated Cuban born and have a Cuba and West Indies sub-universe, but did not iterate those born in the West Indies (for these two observations, users are advised to subtract those born in Cuba from sub-universe to obtain those born in West Indies.
- Universe: âTotal White Foreign Born Populationâ and "Total White Native Born Population" were created by Social Explorer. Caution: County levelâs total white foreign born is the aggregate of selected foreign places birth (which was determined by the state).
- Louisianaâs counties are missing number of people born in Cuba (users are advised to add number of person born in Cuba to total white foreign born).
- National and State levelâs total white foreign born is aggregate of all persons with a foreign places of birth.
- Native Born Whites are the difference between Total White Population and White Foreign Born Population.

Dedicated to Spelman College in 2004, the Bonner Office of Community Service and Student Development is a product of the merge of the Office of Community Service and the Bonner Scholars Program. At Spelman, faculty and staff strive to cultivate students who possess a sense of civic consciousness that provokes catalytic change in society.
Through the Community Scholars, Campus Wide Service Initiatives, and Leadership Development programs, BOCSSD enables students to explore and enhance their experiences in the areas of scholarship, civic engagement and leadership. Bonner Scholars enter to learn and exit to serve.
Spelman Community Scholars have the unique opportunity of integrating their academics with their commitment to the community. Whether through the Bonner Scholars Program or the UPS Scholars Program, students will encounter experiences that will shape their identities and ideals about the world they live in, and provide them with skills to make a difference in our communities.
The Bonner Scholars Program provides a service-learning scholarship for students who have high financial need and a commitment to service. The program is designed to heighten the overall education a Scholar receives by engaging students in ongoing service work and helping them develop the tools and the knowledge necessary to make their experience meaningful and lasting.
Unique among scholarship programs, The UPS Foundation's Community Service Scholars Program encourages students to be leaders at school and in the community. During an academic year, UPS Scholars perform 300 hours of service.
The BOCSSD offers programs throughout the year that have become a staple for the Spelman community (students, faculty, staff, community partners, and the community at large). These programs include the Community Service Fair, Saturday Service Series, MLK, Jr. National Service Day, Earth Week, National Volunteer Week, Alternative Spring Break, various community partner trainings and other Spelman College sponsored initiatives.
Various servant leadership training sessions are offered each semester to support the education of students who have an interest and commitment to engage in sustained social change efforts. Selected participants (20-25 students) meet weekly for at least six consecutive weeks in a classroom setting and receive a certificate upon completion of the program. Internship opportunities such as the Shepherd Poverty Immersion Program and the LEADS-Clinton Foundation Internship Program are also available.
Throughout the academic year, a variety of college programs are available to engage the Spelman community in service and to extend positive social change beyond the campus. Programs such as The Girls Leadership Institute, the Local Community Service Award and Women of Color Leadership Conference emphasize the focus on developing and recognizing leaders who are committed to a life of service.

On average, listings lease in the $0's per square foot per year. The Fort Valley region is seeing a decrease in rates. In the last 3 months, the median rate decreased $16 per sqft per year. That's a 100% decrease in rent.
In the last 90 days, 5 listings have been listed, which means new availabilities most likley are going fast. You'll want to be prepared to make an offer immediately. There aren't many listings below 2,000 square feet posted, so finding a space for a small business might be tough.

Where I stayed
Umm, no they should most certainly should not. And that, our dear friends, is our New Year's Resolution. We consider ourselves very lucky to have met and made friends with some amazing people over the years. With busy lives and switching hemispheres from time to time, it is all too easily to easy to neglect the people that mean the most to us. So, we plan to do a much better job this year of keeping in touch. So, you will be hearing from us soon!
Our other New Year's Resolution is to start a business. We have talked about this for years, and now we really just want to crack on. So, our plan is to have something up and running this year. Well actually, in my head we need to have something sorted in 12 weeks, but Noah does not know about this timeframe
And that is all we really have for New Year's Resolutions, so far. But I am sure we will add to this today as things come to mind.
It is fair to say, that 2011 has been one crazy year for us. We quit work, sold our house and car, packed up our life into a 20ft container and sent it out to sea, said farewells to some amazing people in the UK, holidayed in Fuerteventura and Dubai (with a surprise upgrade to the swankiest apartment ever!), we have travelled across America, experienced the Aloha spirit in Hawaii and set up a new life on the sunny Gold Coast. It has been full on but I think you have to be busy for the dreams to come true. I am a firm believer that great things don't just happen – you have to make it happen. We'll approach 2012 in exactly the same way.
So, we are expecting this year to be just as busy, but in a different way. We are really keen to throw ourselves into local life, swimming and surfing and just being active outdoors and relaxing with each other and our magic little boy. We are expecting a visit from the Mothership in the first half of the year and the Joycees in the second half of the year – knowing those two things are on the horizon is a stonkingly good way to start the year
Our last day of 2011, was a happy one. We started the day doing bits and bobs at home and they we popped to the local shopping centre (Australia Fair) to get a few jobs done at the post office and out of the blue I bought a load of Christmas presents for next year! We bought some more food, because we all seem to be eating constantly and we never have enough food! and headed home as Woody is on 'the edge of reason'.
At home, we eat, and life gets better. And then we decide we are going to buy a TV. We look up some TV's at a shop online, and then go another shop and buy a TV. It takes us about 2 minutes from when we walk into the store until we are handing over the dosh. Good work indeed. We come home, set up the TV, realise there is nothing on TV, and go out to fly a kite.
We go to broadbeach with our kite, a big red lobster, bought for us by Cherry and Peter. It is hilarious, and it is fair to say that there was no chance of anyone confusing us with serious kite-ist with our great big lobster. We were all in stitches and there were quite a few curious onlookers. The lobster flailed quite close to the ground most of the time, but when it was in flight it actually looked quite fantastic (but still a little ridiculous). We are looking forward to many more outings with the big red lobster.
It starts to rain so we thrown on some Jim Beam ponchos we happen to have and briefly wander around wearing what looks like bin bags. Thankfully, the rain does not last long
We take Woody to the playground and there is a family who have set up their picnic on one of Elwood's favourite bits of play ground equipment. So, ignoring their picnic, he plays on it. And then he notices some cheese he fancies and just stands in front of it staring. The bloke asks Elwood if he would like a piece of cheese and he replies that he would, and he joins them munching his cheese whilst Noah and I are doing a weird embarrassed life. Cheese finished, Woody goes off to play, and then he gets a hankering for another piece of cheese, so Woody goes back to his new friends and eats some more of his food (he has just eaten sausage and chips on the beach!). Elwood thinks this is just brilliant. Woody plays happily until he gets KO'ed by a flying swing and we decide to sit quietly and wait for the Fireworks on the beach at 8pm.
This plan lasts about 30 seconds as Woody is so tired he cannot sit still so Noah flings him about in the air for about 30 minutes until the fireworks begin.
The rain starts up again, so we sit in the rain and watch the early new year's celebration. It is fantastic and we all love it. We love the fact that all the beaches near us had early fireworks for kids, and then a midnight display. The park was full of families and the atmosphere was brilliant.
We head back home after the fireworks put Woody to bed and plan on having a nice glass of wine, and sending a few emails
That is it for tonight. Goodnight and Happy New Year. We leave you with these words we have borrowed:
We two have paddled in the stream,
from morning sun till dine† ;
But seas between us broad have roared
since auld lang syne.
And there's a hand my trusty friend !
And give me a hand o' thine !
And we'll take a right good-will draught,
for auld lang syne.
For auld lang syne, my dear,
for auld lang syne,
we'll take a cup of kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.

Mercyhurst Prep Lakers
Coach (season, record): Sean Baer (2nd season, 14-12)
2010-11 overall record: 14-12
2010-11 region record (place): 7-3 (tied for second)
2010-11 playoff results: Defeated Lakeview 48-47, lost 41-37 to North East and defeated Fairview 40-36 in the District 10 playoffs to be the third seed from D-10 in the PIAA playoffs. Mercyhurst then lost 53-42 to Monessen in the first round of the PIAA playoffs.
Top players lost: Phil Wilcox, Shane Saginak
Top returning players: Dwayne Canady, Casey Shelton, Steve Wagner, Anthony Malone, Alex Borges, Carl Anderson
Assistant coaches: Dave Stolar, Bill Carideo, Bob Amendola, Nick Arrigo, Tim Shaloiko
Outlook: Mercyhurst Prep was behind last season with the resignation of its new coach and a late hiring of Sean Bear. The Lakers still managed to make the District 10 Class AA playoffs and even make their way to the PIAA playoffs. Mercyhurst lost some production in the graduation of Phil Wilcox and Shane Saginak, but the Lakers are pretty experienced. Dwayne Canady has been and up-and-coming standout for the past few years, while Casey Shelton, Steve Wagner, Anthony Malone, Alex Borges and Carl Anderson could all be big-time contributors this season. Mercyhurst has a veteran group back with a year of experience with Baer's system. The Lakers should contend in a region that could be a little down this year. North East will be the biggest hurdle while Fairview and Seneca could struggle with inexperience early in the season. Mercyhurst has another tough non-region schedule this winter, including games against Warren, Strong Vincent, Central Tech and McDowell to name a few of the toughest games. The Lakers have the talent and chemistry to win D-10 but like the past, it could come down to them against North East for the title.

Coach (season, record): Dan Perfetto (6th season, 122-23)
2010-11 overall record: 27-3
2010-11 region record (place): 14-0 (champion)
2010-11 playoff results: Defeated Grove City 63-18, General McLane 50-46 and Franklin 51-41 to win the District 10 Class AAA championship. Mercyhurst then defeated Hopewell 55-47 in overtime, Indiana 47-40, New Castle 66-54 and Villa Joseph Marie 58-46 in the PIAA playoffs before losing 53-41 to Archbishop Wood in the state championship.
Top players lost: Lindsay Stamp, Ally Burke, Florie Fournier
Top returning players: Amanda Berchtold, Kayla Wilwohl, Brenna Robbins, Alissa Robbins,
Assistant coaches: Jenn Crawford, Jeff Orlando, Shanna Gabbard, Jack Ziacik
Outlook: Mercyhurst Prep will be an interesting team to watch this winter. The Lakers rolled to the D-10 Class AAA title last year and were one strong second half from winning a state title. Mercyhurst lost Lindsay Stamp, Ally Burke and Florie Fournier to graduation and will have some injuries to deal with. Alissa Robbins and Kayla Wilwohl could be out until January with injuries but both could be back for the Lakers' showdown with Villa Maria on Feb. 4. The two are huge pieces to this year's team along with Gannon-bound Amanda Bercthold and talented forward Brenna Robbins. Berchtold and Wilwohl have been with the varsity their entire careers, while the two along with Brenna Robbins are returning starters. While the Lakers get healthy, Allie Moore, Elysha Chrzanowski and Erika Woll could be key contributors this season. The Lakers have will have a mix of experienced players and underclassmen this season, making camp and each practice important as the season goes on. Mercyhurst has a tough non-region schedule, including games against McDowell, East, Strong Vincent and Villa Maria, as well as a trip to the Cactus Jam tournament out west. The Lakers' biggest hurdle at repeating in D-10 could be Franklin once again, but Mercyhurst has three months to build chemistry and depth.

Are there times when your absolutely exhausted yet you still can't fall asleep – the days events stream through your mind on an endless (annoying) loop. Then you begin to think about falling asleep (oh the frustration) which makes you not fall asleep. But here are a few rather unique ways of finally drifting off into that tranquil world of dreaming.
Make your bed. Whoa, flashback to childhood or what? But this little trick actually seems to help ensure a good night's sleep. A recent study found that people who make their beds every day are 19% more likely to report sleeping soundly. Changing your sheets and sleeping on comfy mattresses and pillows seem to help, too. All of this makes complete sense to me--is there anything more "ahhh" then pulling back the covers and sliding into your cool, clean sheets? (I'm yawning just writing about it!)
Get chilly. Sleep scientists say that the ideal sleeping temperature is about 65 degrees--your body needs a slight drop of temperature in order to induce sleep. (Too-hot or too-cold will wake you up, so experiment with the thermostat to find the right temp for you.)
Curl your toes. Clench your tootsies for a count of seven, and then repeat with your other muscles, slowly moving up to your neck.
Turn off your smart phone, iPad and laptop. This other one is not so strange, but it's definitely simple (and so good to keep in mind--especially if you're like me, and end up playing "Angry Birds" or "fruit Ninja" while waiting to fall asleep!) Do this one hour before bedtime, otherwise the blue light from the devices might actually trick your body into thinking its daytime--exactly the opposite of what you want!

As DeMint Steps Down, Reid Pushes for Filibuster Reform in Senate
With the 2012 election behind us and several new Democrats on their way to Washington, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid intends to push filibuster reform through Congress. He's aiming to end the "silent" filibuster, which allows the minority to extend debate and hold up a vote on legislation without actually being in the Senate chambers.
But, as Takeaway Washington Correspondent Todd Zwillich explains, in order to do that, he'll have to convince some Senate Democrats who are currently on the fence. Republicans don't support the plan, so Reid won't have the two-thirds majority he needs to change Senate rules. To circumvent that, Reid is planning to use the "nuclear option," which according to some allows a simple majority to change Senate rules on the first day of the session.
As Reid moves on filibuster reform, other changes are under way in the Senate. as Senator Jim DeMint (R-SC) has announced that he will leave his Congressional post in January, to become president of the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank.
DeMint, the vocal leader of the Tea Party movement, has served in the Senate for the last seven years and spent six years in the House of Representatives before that. DeMint hasn't said what exactly prompted his sudden exit from Congress.
Chairman of the South Carolina GOP Chad Connelly has worked in Republican politics for over twenty years. He discusses DeMint's career, who might replace him, and how the South Carolina GOP will move forward.

Our car had left at midday, and we arrived in Lamalera in the mid-afternoon. The accomodation in Lamalera is limited to a couple of homestays, and we checked into one of them - the home of Abel Beding and his family
So on Saturday morning at 7am we accompanied the crew of the boat 'Arnol'. Like roughly half of the 40 or so fishing boats owned by the clans of the village Arnol is a hand-built wooden boat with an outboard engine, and is used for hunting dolphins as well as manta ray and other large fish. The balance of the village fleet are outrigger 'pledang' boats propelled by traditional palm-frond sails instead of engines. These are used for whale hunting.
The international whaling treaty exempts the people of Lamalera from the ban on whale hunting, on the grounds that this is a unique and traditional way of life. They are thus permitted to use only their sail boats for whale hunting, and land around 15 to 20 sperm whales a year
Visiting Lamalera and accompanying a fishing boat presented a moral challenge to us: of course, we instinctively find the idea of whale and dolphin hunting offensive; yet, staying in the village, meeting the people and seeing how they live, we quickly realised that they were barely eking out a living from this subsistence way of life. As Westeners who live in comfort, consuming huge amounts of natural resources yet staying well removed from our food sources, it would be wrong of us to judge this way of life by our own standards.
Though we were eager to observe the unique hunting methods of Lamalerans, we were secretly hoping that no whales would make an appearance - the thought of a full blown whale hunt was just a little too daunting. Thankfully, no whales had been spotted that morning and the prahus remained firmly ashore; Arnol's crew were on the lookout for dolphins
The technique for hunting dolphins is the same as for whales - the harpooner, youngest and fittest of the crew, stands on a small platform on the bow of the boat, weilding a long bamboo shaft with a barbed metal harpoon tip. When the boat comes within striking distance of an animal, he lunges at it, flinging himself into the water to put his full weight behind the harpoon. More often than not it's a miss; a line is thrown to the harpooner and he scrambles on board looking exhausted. If it's a hit, a second and third harpoon are often needed to secure the animal. Then the long battle to reel it in begins... hit or no hit, the whole process is a labour intensive group effort, requiring each of the eight or so crew members to do their bit at just the right second.
We found the sight of struggling dolphins rather hard to bear, yet the absolute delight and relief of the crew whenever they landed their catch made one realise how much they needed it. At about 2pm, with five dolphins in the boat, the guys called it a day, and we started chugging back to shore. By now the two of us were starving, thirsty, sun-burned and quite traumatised. But instead of coming ashore an hour or so later, it took us another four hours to getb back... the boat engine packed up! The helmsman would really battle to start it (Rich was often asked to pull the chord, as he had an unusually high success rate!), then it would splutter a little and die again. Finally, just before sunset, another boat came out looking for us and towed us back. Phew, what a day! We watched as the old men of the village butchered the dolphins on the beach, sharing out the meat to women from various households.
The following day, Sunday morning, most of the 2,000 or so inhabitants of the village went to church (like Flores, the island is staunchly Catholic) - from the verandah of Abel's place we watched families troop by in their Sunday best: clean sarongs, colourful blouses, the women's long black hair knotted tightly in a high bun. We went for a walk to the west of the village and found a secluded little cove where the snorkeling was excellent. The water was crystal clear and the soft corals covering the dark volcanic rocks seemed more like cold water forms. However, walking back up the hill we discovered that a whole clan of youngsters had been spying on us! They said a shy hello and scattered as we walked up the path. Good thing we hadn't been skinny dipping! After another superb lunch at the homestay, we walked the road along the coast in the opposite direction, and found another beautiful little beach.
On Monday morning, Rich joined the fishermen again while I relaxed, chatted to a few people in the village and went back to the little beach we had discovered the afternoon before. The snorkeling from here was absolutely gorgeous too, but I had to keep a look-out for little spies! In the early afternoon, before the boat came in, I returned to the village beach and sat in the shade of one of the boat sheds with a young man named Thomy. Thomy was teaching himself English and eagerly paged through the Rough Guide, trying to read bits here and there. He was particularly taken with the Glossary section, and we had an amusing English-Indonesian conversation using the glossary as a dictionary. By the end of the afternoon, Rich and I had promised to post him a proper dictionary (which we duly did from Bali when we returned there). No doubt the little book will be passed around and use by all the others like him in the village - bright kids who simply do not have educational opportunities available to them.
That evening we said goodbye to all the friends we had made in Lamalera. We'd been bowled over by the friendliness of the villagers and their decency and inner strength despite the hand-to-mouth existence many of them faced. At 5am the next morning, we boarded a 4WD truck back to Lewoleba, from where we returned to Flores by ferry.

Endovascular Stent Grafts for Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms
Endovascular grafts can be used as minimally invasive alternatives to open surgical repair for treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs). Open surgical repair of AAAs has high morbidity and mortality, and endovascular grafts have the potential to reduce the operative risk associated with AAA repair.
Conventional management of a clinically significant abdominal aortic aneurysm consists of surgical excision with placement of a sutured woven graft. Surgical excision is associated with a perioperative mortality rate of 4%, which may rise to 10% in symptomatic patients. Due to this high mortality rate, endovascular prostheses have been investigated as a minimally invasive, catheter-based alternative to open surgical excision of abdominal aortic aneurysms. These devices are deployed across the aneurysm such that the aneurysm is effectively "excluded" from the circulation, with subsequent restoration of normal blood flow.
There are several types of grafts currently under investigation—straight grafts, in which both ends are anchored to the infrarenal aorta, and bifurcated grafts, in which the proximal end is anchored to the infrarenal aorta and the distal ends are anchored to the iliac arteries. Recently, fenestrated grafts have also been investigated. These grafts are designed with openings in the wall that can be placed across the renal or celiac arteries while still protecting vessel patency through these critical arteries. In addition, extensions can be placed from inside the main endograft body into the visceral arteries to create a hemostatic seal.
A large number of endovascular grafts have been approved for use for treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) through the pre-market approval process:
Note: This policy addresses abdominal aortic aneurysms only. For discussion of endoprostheses for the treatment of thoracic aortic aneurysms, please see Endovascular Stent Grafts for Thoracic Aortic Aneurysms policy.
POLICYThe use of FDA-approved endoprostheses as a treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms may be considered medically necessary as a treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms in any of the following clinical situations:
The use of endoprostheses approved by the FDA as a treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms is considered investigational when the above criteria are not met, including but not limited to the following clinical situations:
POLICY EXCEPTIONSNone
The coverage guidelines outlined in the Medical Policy Manual should not be used in lieu of the Member's specific benefit plan language.
For treatment of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms with endoprostheses, several factors must be considered including the following:
To monitor for leaking of the graft after implantation, patients will typically undergo routine imaging with either computed tomography or ultrasonography every 6 to 12 months, or more frequently if perivascular leaks or aneurysm enlargement is detected.
Medically Necessary is defined as those services, treatments, procedures, equipment, drugs, devices, items or supplies furnished by a covered Provider that are required to identify or treat a Member's illness, injury or Nervous/Mental Conditions, and which Company determines are covered under this Benefit Plan based on the criteria as follows in A through D:
A. consistent with the symptoms or diagnosis and treatment of the Member's condition, illness, or injury; and
B. appropriate with regard to standards of good medical practice; and
C. not solely for the convenience of the Member, his or her Provider; and
D. the most appropriate supply or level of care which can safely be provided to Member. When applied to the care of an Inpatient, it further means that services for the Member's medical symptoms or conditions require that the services cannot be safely provided to the Member as an Outpatient.
For the definition of Medically Necessary, "standards of good medical practice" means standards that are based on credible scientific evidence published in peer-reviewed medical literature generally recognized by the relevant medical community, and physician specialty society recommendations, and the views of medical practitioners practicing in relevant clinical areas and any other relevant factors. BCBSMS makes no payment for services, treatments, procedures, equipment, drugs, devices, items or supplies which are not documented to be Medically Necessary. The fact that a Physician or other Provider has prescribed, ordered, recommended, or approved a service or supply does not in itself, make it Medically Necessary.
Investigative is defined as the use of any treatment procedure, facility, equipment, drug, device, or supply not yet recognized as a generally accepted standard of good medical practice for the treatment of the condition being treated and; therefore, is not considered medically necessary. For the definition of Investigative, "generally accepted standards of medical practice" means standards that are based on credible scientific evidence published in peer-reviewed medical literature generally recognized by the relevant medical community, and physician specialty society recommendations, and the views of medical practitioners practicing in relevant clinical areas and any other relevant factors. In order for equipment, devices, drugs or supplies [i.e, technologies], to be considered not investigative, the technology must have final approval from the appropriate governmental bodies, and scientific evidence must permit conclusions concerning the effect of the technology on health outcomes, and the technology must improve the net health outcome, and the technology must be as beneficial as any established alternative and the improvement must be attainable outside the testing/investigational setting.

CCTP-753-01 The Networked Economy
Spring for 2008-2009
D. Linda Garcia
Over the past few years, the benefits of the networked economy have been given tremendous play be investors, journalists, business school pundits, and government officials alike How little we truly understand the workings of the Networked Economy was recently made clear, however, by the mad rush to invest in Internet stocks and the subsequent "correction" of the market.
Explanations of this sequence of events have been anything but profound. As described by Thomas E. Weber, for the Wall Street Journal, "The Internet bubble may have burst, but don't worry." From the people who brought us, "Profits don't matter!" There is already a new mind-bending mantra: Failure is good. It's that kind of doublethink that convinced a whole lot of people over the last two years that anything Internet-related was a sure thing.
The recent setbacks do not belie the fact that we are entering into a new economic era, supported and mediated by advanced networking technologies. To the contrary, all economic indicators suggest that the unprecedented recent growth in the economy can be attributed to advances in and more widespread diffusion of networking technologies. What these setbacks do indicate, however, is that the forces driving the networked economy are far more complex than was previously understood.
The class will provide some theoretical underpinnings for understanding the networked economy, and the technological, economic, and social issues to which it will likely give rise. The aim is for students to be able to better analyze and explain events and developments associated with the networked economy.

Capital Markets Room
Fox faculty, such as Finance Professor Jonathan Scott, use the state-of-the-art Alter Hall Capital Markets Room to create a unique learning environment. Members of the Owl Fund, Fox's student-managed investment fund, identify stocks to add or sell from their investment portfolio. All Owl Fund students have access to Fox's Capital Markets Room, a mock trading room with cutting-edge financial analytics tools such as Bloomberg, S&P CapitalIQ and Morningstar.
Through this innovative financial education model, students are well-equipped for jobs in investment banking, management and consulting. The Temple University Investment Association (TUIA), a 125-member organization that conducts investment analysis education workshops and speaker series, supports the Owl Fund. Each Owl Fund lead analyst comes from TUIA, and each is responsible for monitoring current investments in a sector of the S&P 500 and recommending adding or deleting stocks from that sector.
This real-world experience pays off, both in and out of the classroom. The Owl Fund had 100 percent job placement among its managers in 2010-11.
"Those who are in the Owl Fund have Type A personalities. All of the graduating seniors within the Owl Fund have full-time offers already," Darryn Lee, a 2011 international business and finance graduate, said shortly before his commencement. "Places like Franklin Templeton in San Francisco, RBS in Tokyo or at Deloitte here in Philadelphia. It is very reassuring to be surrounded by like-minded individuals, and to know I will have something after graduation."
Lee, now an analyst at BlackRock, added, "In my opinion, it's the best student professional organization for someone who wants to get fundamental investment-analysis exposure."
Student Daniel Pavlovic, an Owl Fund member majoring in finance and economics, said access to research and analysis technologies in the Capital Markets Room "have been a great asset" in complementing his coursework.
"Surely this has been the best source for understanding and learning about investment and equity analysis as I work toward my degree in finance," Pavlovic said of the Capital Markets Room.

Noise inside the wall!
For the past couple of months we've been hearing something, but we never could tell what or where it was. The noise always happened late, late night, and one of us would wake up, "Did you hear something?" Well, no doubt about it today! There is something inside the wall of our upstairs bedroom. Moving and/or chewing constantly. I have no ideas on how to get to it. I am probably just going to have to call someone over for this. :censored:
Mice...........start looking for holes in your outside walls....the hole does not have to be big. Rats can fit through something not much bigger than a quarter.
I have been all over the outside; I can't find any openings!
EDIT: I am going to start placing Decon bait stations in the attics and see if they get eaten.
I wouldn't do the bait stations....do spring traps and/or glue traps.
You don't want them eating the poison and then dying in the walls...better to catch them on the outside....
Look for mouse drippings (black rice).
EDIT: Great looking Jeep by the way.
Btw....those mice can sometimes fit in the holes in the top plate for your wiring
I was thinking something larger than mice though. I didn't think mice could make that much noise. I'll start with treating for them and see if the noises go away.
Thanks again!
Get a cat, or a snake. :whistling2:
Came home from a walk one night and saw 2 med size rats run across top of fence, then crawled up brick and under hardie trim!
Threw poison bait up and around all of the attic, in a few days the smell indicated our success. @ weeks later, smell gone as well as rodents.
Did not want to have to deal with traps to remove.
It's likely mice, but could be a bat too. We hired a pest Co. and they found no mice, eventually found bats and refunded $.
I'd use glue traps, or peanut butter on snap traps. Don't worry about how they get in for now, focus on getting to them and eradication.:thumbsup:
Either case is tricky, but you can win the battle, and must; mice can chew wiring and cause fire, potentially.
As long as it's just mice, (even rats, hopefully not though!), I can deal with it. There was so much noise I was sure there was something bigger.
Do you have squirrels in your community?
Often they access attics looking for a warm nesting place.
Hopefully you don't have them inside your house.
You could always seek out Christopher Walken and see what he could do for you!:laughing: Movie: Mouse Hunt - a total riot!:yes:
I love that movie! The scene where he "samples" the mouse droppings... PRICELESS! :laughing:

Intense morello cherry fruit and a touch of sweet spice on the nose, ripe berry, liquorice and a hint of cinnamon spice on the palate, this wine is full flavoured, rich and smooth with supple tannins.
The Southern Rhone village of Cairanne lies in the heart of the Southern Rhone valley, north east of Orange. Nearby Chateauneuf-du-Pape was the first village in the whole of France to be recognized for its quality and individuality, and neighbouring villages such as Cairanne are queuing up to receive their own Appellation Contrle status, but representing excellent value for money in the intervening period. For this La Cte Sauvage fully ripe Grenache and Syrah grapes are hand picked from bush vines in selected vineyards within Cairanne, northeast of Orange in the heart of the Rhne valley.
In the Winery
To make this Cairanne, our winemaker, Eric, uses traditional vinification techniques - indigenous yeast and a long cuvaison period, followed by maturation in French oak barrels to develop great concentration, complexity and finesse in the wine.
Press Quotes
2009 Vintage: "Ambitiously toasty, but pulls it off, as the alder and mesquite flavors meld into the core of blackberry, black currant and steeped cherry fruit. Dense and fleshy on the finish, with tar and black tea notes weaving in. This has lots of bass, but shows cut and drive. Drink now through 2016." 91 points. James Molesworth, Wine Spectator. September 2012
2009 Vintage: A blend of Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre, and Carignan, the 2009 la Cote Sauvage is decidedly modern with its toast, vanilla, dried flowers, and spice qualities, yet it stays beautifully balanced and elegant, showing a core of sweet fruit and plenty of depth as well. Aged for 22-months in mostly neutral oak (some new), this medium to full-bodied 2009 is supple, seamless, and very classy on the palate. It shows its oak, but it is one of those wines thatpulls it off. I would drink bottles over the coming 4-6 years, yet I suspect it will have a gradual evolution. 90 Points. The Rhne Report Issue 13, October 2012.
Grapes: Grenache Noir, Syrah, old Carignan Noir, Mourvdre

Paris denies coyote eating her puppies

"Some people think she's eccentric, having so many pets, but she just really, really loves animals and it was devastating for her," News.com.au quoted X17online.com, as stating. Despite Hilton's rep telling Access Hollywood the story is "completely false", the website is standing by the claims, which they say have been confirmed by two reliable sources.
Hilton, who revealed on The Ellen DeGeneres Show earlier this year that she has 17 dogs, said she lavishes attention on all of them. "I trade it off so they don't get jealous - I'll bring like three out at once," she said.

I put together a list of activities for our advent calendar this year, and it's been a big success with my two-year-old.
Here are a few that have been most popular in our house and that can easily be done by a very small child. These are great for filling up the hours in the last days before Christmas when kids start to get a little antsy (or sugar-overloaded!):
Bird Feeder
I was dubious if this would actually work, but it was very straightforward and a perfect little activity for a two-year-old. She loved pressing the seeds into the cookie cutters and she was thrilled when we hung them on our patio.
Button cards
We made these and sent them to all of Ella's great-grandparents. She loved arranging the buttons and then I drew on the lines and bows.
Peppermint Wreath
Ella loved unwrapping the peppermints and then watching them melt through the oven door. And she was not devastated when one broke and she had to eat it . . .
Cinnamon Ornaments
All the cutting-out fun of sugar cookies, with a lot fewer ingredients (two ingredients, to be exact).
Orange and Cloves
These have such a pretty, festive look, but take zero talent to assemble. Ours looked lovely for a few weeks.

There is a secret about training to finish a marathon that no one really tells you.
Even though it's hiding in plain sight behind a simple Google search, for the most part no one comes right out and says it.
I'm going to do you a solid and spell it out for you:
If you can run three miles, you can train to finish a marathon.
If you Google 'marathon training for beginners' or 'first time marathoner', you'll find a ton of really good training programs to sift through. As you click-through all the first-time marathon plans, you'll probably notice two things. The first thing is that all of them offer up a disclaimer of sorts telling you to spend at least a few weeks working up to the first week's training distances. The second thing you'll likely notice is that most of the first couple of weeks in these plans include several three mile runs.
Essentially what they're telling you is that before you graduate to training to finish a marathon, you should be able to run three miles with ease.
Getting to three miles
For some people, running three miles is a tall order. Believe me, I'm not taking a three mile run for granted. When I first got back into running about six or seven years ago, three miles wasn't easy for me. In fact, right around the time I got back into running I went for a run with my now brother-in-law who was a was an offensive lineman on his college football team and left me in his dust. You read that right – an offensive lineman could run longer and further than me.
That didn't deter me. I kept at it. I mapped out a few three mile runs from my house and kept at it. There were days when I'd walk A LOT of the route. There were days when I didn't feel like running, but I kept at it. It took several weeks of me convincing myself I could do it, but after a good chunk of consistent running, I was pushing three miles aside like it was nothing.
I can't tell you how long it will take you to get to that point – only you will be able to do that – but if you stick with it, there's no doubt you'll get there.
Becoming a three mile runner will put you on the path to be the runner you want to be
The funny thing about running is that for most people, once they reach one goal, they want to hit another.
Once I hit three miles, I couldn't wait to see if I could do four. Then I wanted to do five. How about seven? Can I get to double digits?
If you're just starting to run and you're serious about one day finishing a marathon, finishing your first three mile run is the first step to getting there.

The unique pairing of Los Angeles psychedelic surf rock and Cambodian pop vocals that is Dengue Fever will make another appearance on the band's upcoming album Cannibal Courtship, due to be released April 19 via Fantasy Records/Concord Music Group. Featuring 11 new tracks sung in both English and Khmer as well as backing vocals provided by the Living Sisters, it will be Dengue Fever's fourth studio album. In a press release, bassist Senon Gaius Williams suggests that unlike the band's previous albums—"sounding partly Cambodian and partly indie rock"—Cannibal Courtship has found an identity that resembles both aspects of the Dengue Fever's sound with an equal presence throughout the record.
Along with the album announcement Dengue Fever has also posted a smooth new single, "Cement Slippers," streaming below. If it suggests anything about the upcoming album it seems that the band is actually directed more towards surf rock and that its Cambodian pop influence may be left in the dust. Nevertheless, Dengue Fever on Cannibal Courtship's day-of-release will be kick off its west-coast spring tour at the Troubadour in the band's Los Angeles hometown.
Tour Dates For Dengue Fever:
04/19 – Los Angeles, CA – Troubadour
04/20 – San Francisco, CA – The Fillmore
04/22 – Portland, OR – Dante's
04/23 – Vancouver, BC – The Biltmore Cabaret
04/24 – Seattle, WA – The Crocodile
04/27 – Santa Cruz, CA – Moe's Alley
04/28 – Santa Barbara, CA – SoHo
04/29 – San Diego, CA – The Casbah
04/30 – Costa Mesa, CA – Detroit Bar
05/05 – Dallas, TX – The Loft
05/06 – Austin, TX – Emo's
05/07 – Houston, TX – Fitzgerald's

Google Chrome: Improved support in Wine 1.1.4... with a caveat
Free project WINE now offers the newest version (1.1.4) of its runtime environment. Among its features is better support for Google Chrome.
There is nevertheless growing criticism of the browser. For example, the German Federal Office for Security in Information Technology (BSI), whose purpose it is to protect users, issued a warning at its release. The BSI spokesperson characterized the browser as "convenient yet risky." The agency sees it as risky in one sense that Google is pawning off a not-yet-prime-time prototype to a wide audience, and in another sense because technically less versed users may encounter serious security issues due to the nature of the browser's overzealous data collection practice, which the agency describes as "questionable."
Included in the Google Chrome Privacy Notice is a statement that anything entered in the browser's Address field will be sent to Google. This, they claim, is a technical requirement to enable generating website hints and recommendations. However, there is also the chance that other information such as data, applications and services might also be conveyed to Google under certain circumstances.

It is the end of the world, with only one man standing as the sun goes out in a blood-red flash. A solitary raven caws as the oceans engulf the earth. Civilisations topple into a blazing canyon, lightning screams across the heavens and rocks burst like popcorn in the global meltdown. Darkness dawns. Nobody did the apocalypse as well - or as frequently - as John Martin.
Martin (1789-1854) was born in Northumberland, in the northeast of England, and was a phenomenon in his own right. He had no formal training, yet no other artist of the 19th century had a greater public reach than he, and not just in Britain but across the English-speaking world. By the time his three-part Last Judgment reached St George's Hall, Bradford on its English tour, just after his death, the paintings had already been "inspected by upwards of two million persons". Many more would see them abroad.
The vital statistics are advertised in the handbill: sixpence to see three masterpieces, "each picture 13ft by 10, and valued at 8000 guineas - the most sublime and extraordinary pictures in the world!". The audiences were ushered in, held back from the candlelit images by cordon.
The show made a mint. This was art as entertainment; painting as sensational performance.
And so it still is, from first to last, at Tate Britain. Martin's work runs a fine line between drama and melodrama, each painting delivering its fresh horror with spectacular force.
The show opens with a raving old whitebeard about to fling himself from a crag miles above a seething torrent - don't do it! - and never lets up from one cliffhanger to the next. It is both awesome and riotously awful.
Imagining the worst: that was Martin's speciality. The Tower of Babel collapses. Sodom and Gomorrah are obliterated. Etna erupts - look behind you! - and Pompeii is engulfed. Babylon falls, and Nineveh, and Jericho, and pandemonium is naturally unleashed. The contents of the Book of Revelations are fully illustrated, along with Exodus and Paradise Lost - thrilling, edifying and over the top in roughly equal measure.
Martin found form quite early in his career, which began as a painter of inn signs, glass and crockery (the surviving dinner plate is in this show).
For all the compositional variations, the essentials do not alter greatly: dizzying height and depth, colossal skies dwarfing whichever culture is seconds from destruction, an unimaginably cavernous space opening in the back of each image. Huge armies are pitted against tiny solo figures.
Plunging gorges have their circling eagles, approaching infernos are reflected in polished objects in the foreground, the skylines of ancient cities recede in rectilinear perspective, mocked by the swirly doom-clouds above.
Every comparison you can think of is obvious and true. Martin's paintings anticipate biblical epics and disaster movies and CinemaScope; sci-fi illustrations, concept albums and heavy-metal graphics; Spider-Man (look at the boneless figure of Sadak somehow slithering up a rock as big as a skyscraper) and the avatars of video games. Film directors have acknowledged the immense debt, from D.W. Griffith to Cecil B. DeMille and Roland Emmerich.
So that is a tremendous aspect of Martin's work: its sheer inventiveness, its box of tricks, its innovative special effects. Though he has debts of his own as well. There are lifts from Blake, Fuseli, Turner and even Constable in the flickering proto-impressionist impasto of his late paintings with their glistening, encrusted surfaces; and all were at some time competing for wall space at the Royal Academy.
The Tate Britain show gives a strong sense of the contemporary art market: the fortunes made by dealers who bought and then toured Martin's pictures; the need to make paintings large enough to be noticed high on the Royal Academy walls, but not so large that a collector could not house them; the money he was forced to make from prints when he couldn't sell his paintings.
These little prints are more amazing than the grand machines - Satan holding court in what looks like a solo performance in the Albert Hall (decades in advance); imaginary cities stretching away into the misty air that look remarkably like mezzotints, or even sepia photographs, but turn out to be tiny watercolours.
You see Martin dreaming up, on a delicate scale, all sorts of things he had never seen: Asian peaks, Egyptians, ziggurats, the stones of Avebury when it was first built, exotic trees, volcanic eruptions, even dinosaurs (is he the first dinosaur artist?) - and in each case the quick intimacy matches the potent vision.
And imagination is everything in Martin's art. Faced with an actual landscape or episode (the coronation of Queen Victoria, say) his paintings are hopelessly banal. Equally, the bigger the canvas, the harder each picture has to work for its living and imagination is sacrificed to the demands of showmanship.
Martin does people like gesticulating dolls, hands flung up in ecstasy - thank God! - or horror - oh no! His waterfalls are like cartoon spills drawn in correction fluid. His lightning is worked out with a ruler and set square. The pictures are so densely detailed, viewers needed a printed guide (facsimiles are available in this show).
It is not an art you can believe in, no matter that it might make you gawp and shudder just to think of such outlandish catastrophes. But it is an art that benefits from very particular viewing conditions, and it's to the credit of Tate Britain that these have been mimicked here.
The three-panel Last Judgment is performed as a son et lumiere. Each panel gradually starts to glow in small vignettes - God, Satan, the saved, the damned - as something approximate to candlelight passes across it.
Then the pictures (or rather the high-resolution reproductions projected upon them) begin to shimmer, warp and quake. A voiceover warns of your own impending death.
Lurid as this may sound, it is only a more sophisticated update of the 19th-century technology. The paintings "come to life" as they must have done for electrified viewers in Bradford. You see what they saw, momentarily, before the houselights go up and these paintings - so hard to look at for long - are once more inert. Observer

Here's the story:
lIlustrated Corvette Series No. 26 - 1965 Mako Shark II - "Simply Stunning"
Bill Mitchell and Larry Shinoda scored big in the automotive world with the 1965 Mako Shark II Show Car. It was a total original, nothing was like it, and it just screamed, CORVETTE !
Bill Mitchell started working on the next generation Corvette the day production on the 1963 Corvette started. He knew that things change quickly in automotive styling , so it was critical that he go way outside the envelope. The first step was to build a functional, single seat, open-wheeled car that would push everything to the extreme. The "X-15", named after the experimental U.S. Air Force jet, was never shown to the public and was later sent to the crusher.
Shinoda and crew had to make a real car now. The styling elements of the hood bulge and the side exhausts were taken directly from the X-15 exercise. Back tracking from the extreme, Mitchell set the guidelines.
He wanted the following; "a narrow, slim, center section and coupe body, a tapered tail, an all-of-a-piece blending of the upper and lower portions of the body through the center (avoiding the look of a roof added to a body), and prominent wheels with their protective fenders distinctly separate from the main body, yet grafted organically to it."
The full-size mock-up just blew everyone away. Built on a production Corvette chassis, the Mako Shark also had a mocked- up interior.
The Mako Shark II had an interesting blend of soft curves and sharp break-lines. The tucked in center section, called the "coke-bottle" gave the center of the car a taut, trim look, while the curved fender lines made the car look like it had been working- out. The low, pointed nose made a bold statement while the tapered and pointed tail gave the car a high-speed, wind-swept look.
Since the Mako Shark II was a show-car, it had plenty of gimmicks and was overdone here and there. Some of the grille vents and other details were a little fussy. However, compared with other cars in 1965, the Mako Shark was a vision of the future.
When the car was shown at the New York International Auto Show in April 1965, the press and the public went wild. It was called beautiful, embellished, convoluted, aerodynamic, perfect, and many other things. And this was only the mock-up. On October 5, 1965 the fully functional Mako Shark II arrived. Oh WOW! - K. Scott Teeters
Here's the story:
lllustrated Corvette Series No. 28 1966 Mako Shark II Show Car Corvette
"The Running Prototype"
When the Mako Shark II was first shown at the April 1965 New York Auto Show, jaws dropped and the automotive press gasped. However, making a beautiful clay show car is one thing, making a functional road version is a completely different story.
GM tech experts Ken Eschebach and Art Carpenter headed up the crew that put every conceivable performance and luxury goodie you could think of into the running Mako Shark II. The chassis and running gear used standard 1966 Corvette parts. Under the hood was the brand-new 427 Mark IV engine coupled with the not-yet-available-in- the-Corvette three-speed Turbo Hydra-Matic transmission.
The entire front end tilted forward like an XK-E Jaguar. The headlights were made up of three quartz-iodide beams that were covered with "eyelid" panels. The top surface of the hood had cooling vents and round lids for fluid refills. The windshield wipers were hidden in a closet at the base of the windshield. At the back end, the window slats, bumper and spoiler were all electrically controlled from the interior. The seats were in a fixed position, while the gas and brake pedals were adjustable. Seat frames had racer-like, four-point seat belts. The roof- mounted headrests were adjustable, and had speakers connected to an AM/FM radio. Lights and windshield wiper controls were on the turn signal stalks and the dash had neon digital readouts. The car used seventeen electric motors to power various features.
In October 1965 the Mako Shark began a six month European tour and was the "avant garde" machine. For a show car, the Mako Shark was the closest to an actual production Corvette. Over 30 years later, it's still a stunning machine. - K. Scott Teeters
Here's the story:
lllustrated Corvette Series No. 38 - 1969 Manta Ray Show Car Corvette
The 1965 Mako Shark II may well have been the most exciting Corvette show car of all time. This one show car had more direct impact on future production Corvettes than any other. The car was a world traveler as General Motors trotted the Mako Shark II all over the automotive globe, wowing car lovers everywhere it went.
By 1968, with the debut of the new C3 Corvette, the Mako Shark was old news. But when your pockets are as deep as GM's, why not make a great thing even greater? Even though $2.5 million had been spent on the Mako Shark II, the General spent almost another $3 million on the Manta Ray!
The biggest change was the long, tapered tail, a 'la the Astro Vette Show Car. Endura bumpers gracefully covered functional metal bumpers. The roof line featured a beautiful, sweeping, tapered style, similar to a Sting Ray roof, but scooped out with a small slot for a rear window. For hard braking and turn signaling, flip up lights popped out of the rear deck. Four taillights were fared in under the rear bumper line with a center-located license-plate holder.
An awesome show car should have an awesome engine. The Manta Ray used the new, all-aluminum, ZL-1 engine with a special air cleaner. Side pipes were beautifully crafted into the side rocker panels and sounded great. This was part of the Bill Mitchell trademark.
The nose of the car was basically unchanged, except for an extended bumper ring around the air inlets and a small chin spoiler. Normal sideview mirrors were deleted in favor of small, bullet-shaped mirrors that were attached to the top of the A-pillers. Like the previous Mako Shark cars, the Manta Ray was painted dark blue with pearl white fogging along the lower edges. Special badges and Corvette crossed-flags insignias completed the car.
This may have been the last "pure" show car Corvette. Later show cars were serious engineering studies. Cars like this sure got a lot of us juiced up for the "next" Corvette. Ah, the stuff of daydreams! K. Scott Teeters
Here's the story:
Illustrated Corvette Series No. 146 - Bill Mitchell's Mako Shark Corvettes
Starting in 1956 with the arrival of fresh styling and the 265-inch Chevy small-block, Corvettes have been about guts and glamour. Zora Arkus-Duntov provided the guts, and Vice President of GM Styling Bill Mitchell, provided the glamour. While the public got to enjoy this unique blend, deep inside the Chevrolet design center, a war was being waged between these two strong-willed men.
Mitchell joined GM in 1935 and was heir to the throne of legendary GM designer (and Corvette creator) Harley Earl. Duntov was hired in 1953, and by 1957 he had been promoted to director of high-performance sales at Chevrolet. In Mitchell's world, everything was about style. From his silk suits to his long white sideburns and passion for fast cars, style was everything. From Mitchell's perspective, "engineering never sold a damn thing." Duntov, on the other hand, was a consummate engineer, a mechanical man for whom form followed function. The glue that kept these two men together was their shared passion for fast cars—especially Corvettes.
The evolution of Mitchell's shark cars began in the mid '50s. The 1957 Q-Corvette was the genesis, but it never went beyond a full-size clay mock-up. Mitchell enlisted the help of stylist Larry Shinoda to design a roadster version of the Q-Corvette body that would be fitted to the mule chassis from the aborted Corvette SS racer. Mitchell had two objectives. First, he liked fast cars and wanted to go racing, and second, he wanted to test the public's response to the new shape. Named "Sting Ray" and raced with Mitchell's funding, the car won the SCCA C/Modified Championship in 1960. The public loved the new design, and by early 1960 it was decided that the '63 Corvette would use the styling of the Sting Ray racer.
Duntov did not like the new design and let Mitchell know it. The practical Duntov saw the long hood/short deck configuration as being stuck in the '30s and an impediment to the driver's forward vision. Mitchell was outraged that an engineer on a low-volume Chevy would dare to question his design. Mitchell called Duntov "Zorro," and Duntov called Mitchell "a red-faced baboon." Obviously, Mitchell won the day, so Duntov set about making the new Sting Ray as good as he could. As work progressed to bring the car to market, Duntov was working on the RPO Z06 "racer kit" option and was letting select drivers—but not Mitchell—sample the new package in a mule car.
So Mitchell decided to build his own hot-rod Sting Ray. Named the Mako Shark, after a shark Mitchell caught while on vacation in Bimini, the car was an exaggeration of the production car that was then being built. Once again, Larry Shinoda was charged with working out the styling. Though based on a production '61 Corvette, every surface of the Mako Shark was stylized. The car had supercharged 327, a double-bubble Plexiglas roof, side pipes, gills for front cornering lights, vents, scoops, a rear-view periscope, wire wheels, and iridescent blue paint that faded into white along the lower edge. The car was shown at Elkhart Lake in the summer of 1961 and was a smash hit. No sooner had the '63 Corvette hit the streets than Mitchell was busy designing the next Corvette. Once again, Larry Shinoda and a small staff were brought in to assist. But this time, Mitchell had an unusual design mandate.
Mitchell wanted to see a "narrow, slim, selfish" center section and coupe body, a prominently tapered tail, an "all of one piece" blending of the upper and lower portions of the body, and prominent wheels with protective fenders that were separate from the main body yet grafted organically to it. The end result was the Mako Shark II, and jaws dropped when the full-size mock-up was shown in April '65. There were two immediate responses: first, build a functioning show car, and second, make the car into the next Corvette.
Built on a production chassis fitted with the new 427 engine, the functioning Mako Shark II was loaded with special features. The public was blown away, but again, Duntov was not happy. Management liked the concept because there was little hard tooling to create. Duntov saw it as representing no forward progress and moving further away from his vision of a mid-engine Corvette. Again, Mitchell won the argument, and the Mako Shark II was rushed into production as the '68 Corvette.
But Mitchell wasn't quite done with the Mako Shark II. Renamed "Manta Ray," the car was restyled with a tapered tail, a scooped-out roof, side pipes, and a ZL1 engine. As great as the C2 Sting Ray design was, the Mako Shark II shape would forever define the look of the Corvette. Despite their differences, both Mitchell and Duntov had deep respect for one another. As Mitchell liked to say, they both had gasoline in their veins. Thanks to Duntov and Mitchell, Corvettes would always have glamour and guts. - K. Scott Teeters

RUDRESH MAHANTHAPPA | Mahanthappa has been tearing it up for several years as an alto-saxophone monster and Indo-American fusionist (along with running partner Vijay Iyer). This year he came to Newport with elder alto legend Bunky Green, then released Samdhi (ACT Music), which took his Indo-jazz fusion into electric rock and funk. The Samdhi band — with guitarist David Gilmore, electric bassist Rich Brown, and drummer Damion Reid — laid waste to the Regattabar in November.

On our return journey, we asked if we could go to see the famous Montego Bay. The guides agreed, and a little more money changed hands. We passed the beautiful old historic house called Greenwood, and its surrounding sugar Plantation. The house was built by Edward Moulton Barrett, grandfather to Elizabeth Barrett Browning (famed English Romantic Poet). The land was later bequeathed to her and her family. From there we drove through all the sites of Montego Bay and even got to have a short swim at the famous beach. We also saw where two James Bond movies were made. All in all a fantastic and exhausting day. We were both asleep at 8pm that night, and woke with new muscles we didn't know we had.

Stroud, Henderson anchor Jags' D
When Colts coach Tony Dungy looks at the Jaguars, he sees the 2000 Baltimore Ravens.
Updated: September 28, 2004, 2:52 PM ETBy Chris Mortensen | ESPN Insider
It might still sound odd that Indianapolis Colts coach Tony Dungy, once the author of "Buc Ball," is driving the hottest offense in football. But he steered a suggestion about the Jacksonville Jaguars in a different direction.
When Dungy looks at the Jaguars, he doesn't necessarily relate them to his stellar Tampa Bay Buccaneers teams that won consistently with a dominant defense and barely enough offense.
No, he sees more of the 2000 Baltimore Ravens in the 2004 Jaguars. Appropriately so, because Jags head coach Jack Del Rio was the Ravens' linebackers coach when Baltimore won the Super Bowl with one of the most dominant defenses of any era.

If Captain Chris (3.50) seems a bit underappreciated, perhaps it's because he last won a Grade One almost three years ago, as a novice at the Punchestown Festival. Now 10, he has a fine chance to bag another in the Betfair Ascot Chase, the highlight of eight televised races on Saturday afternoon.
He may have won this race last year, but for trying to take the second-last fence along with him. There could be no shame in being beaten by Cue Card, who hacked up in the Ryanair a month later, but Captain Chris had just hit the front and looked the winner when making his blunder.
That mistake was atypical; in 17 runs over fences, he has never fallen and has only unseated once. A better guide to his ability would be the Grade Two he won here last season, when he whizzed around as if on rails, or his Listed-race romp at Kempton last month. At the same track last winter, he came within a neck of landing the King George.
That was a shade far for him but today's distance is fine and heavy going holds no terrors. He is the sort of tough horse who can usually be relied on to run his race and he looks a cut above today's rivals.
Riverside Theatre and Medermit beat him fair and square in the Ryanair two years ago but both have had their problems since. Riverside Theatre just held him off at Huntingdon in December, when Captain Chris had 10lb more to carry, but they meet at levels this time.
Hunt Ball is respected but, even if Nicky Henderson has completely revived him, he was always best on a sounder surface. Rolling Aces looks more of a danger, though he has a bit to prove at this level.
1.45 Haydock
Slipper Satin is the forgotten horse, having unseated at the first when last seen. She may have struggled in any case to contain Aurore D'Estruval, whose winning performance that day makes her the most likely winner.
2.05 Ascot
Not every trainer would pitch a horse into a Grade Two for its fencing debut but David Pipe has an excellent record with novice chasers and it may look even better after Gevrey Chambertin runs here in the Reynoldstown. A full brother to the Grade One winner Grands Crus, Gevrey Chambertin has yet to show that level of class but shouldered a big weight to land a handicap hurdle when last seen at Haydock in November. He has looked a chaser waiting to happen and the opposition here is not terrifying. Pipe also won a Grade Two with Goulanes when that horse made his chasing debut last year.
2.20 Haydock
Two Rockers will be feared if he ends up in this race but his first preference is at Ascot. In his absence, this looks a good opportunity for Celestial Halo, last seen landing the Long Distance at Newbury after At Fishers Cross made a jumping howler. The concern is that Celestial Halo has not always seemed completely comfortable on heavy going, though he has won it, including here in 2012.
2.40 Ascot
Winless since cuffing Our Father at Cheltenham 14 months ago, Highland Lodge is in danger of being rather an underachiever. But he hasn't done much wrong, if his Welsh National flop can be excused, and is only 3lb higher than when a fine second in the Desert Orchid at Wincanton in October, when the third was 18 lengths further back. His fourth in the Hennessy also reads well. He finished ahead of Houblon Des Obeaux at level weights when both were novices but is getting 19lb from that rival here. Teaforthree is feared but this is probably a sighter with the Grand National in mind.
2.55 Haydock
I may possibly regret breaking faith with Merry King but he has been uninspiring for several consecutive runs and remains 19lb above his last winning mark. Tony McCoy rides him for the first time in well over a year but it did not seem that Richie McLernon was doing anything wrong. Emperor's Choice is worth a look but he will have to be very tough to win again, just a fortnight after his Ffos Las slog. Loch Ba is nicely handicapped but the most appealing option is Rigadin De Beauchene, who was beaten only by a handicap blot in this race last year and gets to run from the same mark. He has not been seen since April and perhaps fitness will find him out but Venetia Williams is perfectly capable of having him straight first time.
3.15 Ascot
This is the right time of year to be looking at handicappers from the Gary Moore yard, he having had winners on this day last year at both Ascot and Haydock, and Leo Luna is interesting here. He is just 3lb higher than when a good third to Ptit Zig (now 25lb higher) at Sandown last spring. He failed to fire when last seen in October but his wind has since been operated upon.
3.35 Wincanton
Zarkandar has hardly been disgraced in defeats by Annie Power and The New One but it has been disappointing to see a horse with such a good strike-rate fail to get within five lengths of a winner this season. He won this on heavy last year but a similar performance cannot be relied upon and I would rather take slightly bigger odds about Melodic Rendezvous, who rolls through the mud and remains unexposed in such conditions.

Popa's Tunes featured The Peculiar Pretzelmen:
If Mark Twain and Edgar Allen Poe had collaborated on a story about traveling American musicians, they couldn't have imagined 'The Peculiar Pretzelmen.' Deeper. Darker, Weirder is their mantra as they travel horse and cart across the country, bringing their blend of Jazz, Cemetery Blues and Avantmercanna Folk to the masses. They did three sessions for Couch by Couchwest this year from Stranger Factory in Albuquerque, NM. Check out their discography on bandcamp, wicked good.
