This week, Appellation Mountain's Abby Sandel flashes back to the Golden Age of Hollywood to look at some cool celebrity baby names of the past.
Oscar-winning actress Natalie Portman and husband Benjamin Millepied have yet to officially release the name of their newborn son. Could it be a new trend with celebrity baby names? Fellow celeb parents Penélope Cruz and Javier Bardem never announced their son's name, and neither did Isla Fisher and Sacha Baron Cohen, though in both cases, the news leaked out. Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon dropped hints about their twins' names for days before we all learned that their little ones were called Monroe and Moroccan.
Can you blame them? Whether the parents opt for something as traditional as James or as unusual as Pilot, their choice is discussed, rated, and thoroughly dissected, along with their choice of stroller, nursery décor, and baby clothes.
Things were a little different in Hollywood's Golden Age. Studios reportedly wrote clauses into their stars' contracts, penalizing them for becoming pregnant. While the pressure was greater for women, some men also feared that fatherhood could have a negative impact on their ability to land roles as a leading man.
Actors Loretta Young and Clark Gable had a daughter together in 1935 – but Gable was married to someone else. Young hid her pregnancy with a hiatus in Europe, then stage-managed an "adoption" of her daughter months later.
When Ingrid Bergman – Oscar-nominated for roles as a nun and a saint – started an affair with director Roberto Rossellini, the scandal was epic. Ed Sullivan declined to have her on his show.
And yet, whether we were barely tolerant of celebrities' roles as parents or interested in them beyond reason, one thing remains the same: actors tend to choose interesting names for their children. This list of names, most representing children born from the 1930s into the 1960s, would be perfectly acceptable for starbabies born today.
Their power as trendsetters was no less powerful. Both Errol Flynn and Audrey Hepburn had sons called Sean. Sean entered the US Top 1000 two years after Flynn's son was born in 1941, and took another big leap after Hepburn's Sean debuted in 1960. The pattern repeats for many of these names.
From the early days of silent pictures to the present day, a sprinkling of stardust has stuck to the names of some of the most iconic glamour girls. Whether their allure was sexy or serene, these superstars' names make Nameberry's top dozen.
Audrey— The radiant Belgian-born actress (born Edda), style icon and humanitarian lent a luminous glow to her name– an Old English saint's appellation– which is being appreciated anew by modern parents, who have brought it into the Top 50.
Ava – One of the great hits of the decade, Ava still calls up the image of sultry Hollywood beauty Ava Gardner. Beginning with Heather Locklear, and Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillipe in the late 90s, it's has been a wildly popular celebrity fave.
Brigitte – Brigitte Bardot, saucy French 'sex kitten' of the 1950s, left a permanent imprint on her alliterative full name—in fact one current celebrity has used her surname for his daughter.
Charlize—Contemporary actress Charlize Theron was born in South Africa to parents of German, French and Dutch ancestry, and was given her distinctive name in honor of her father, Charles. It has just started to be used in this country in the past few years, with that 'z' adding sizzle to Charlie.
Greta – Early film icon Greta Garbo had an exotic and mysterious aura which still clings to her name. A German diminutive of Margarethe, Greta has been used for their daughters by David Caruso, and by Phoebe Cates and Kevin Kline.
Harlow—This is one rare case where the last name is more glamorous than the first—Jean—of the sensual 1930s Platinum Blonde. Patricia Arquette was the first to use it for her daughter, followed by Nicole Richie and Joel Madden—and it's sure to catch on with other parents.
We've looked at some of the trends in movie character names of Hollywood's Golden Age – the widespread use of nickname names and boys' names for girls and place names. Now, here are some of the more unusual character names (and the sometimes surprising actors who portrayed them) thought up by the screenwriters—or novelists or playwrights who originally created them) of that era , as well as some that haven't been heard of for some time and might be worth reviving.
Get ready for a looooong list, even though we haven't included the iconic Rhetts and Ricks:
I've always been intrigued with the names of the characters played by movie stars, especially the iconic figures of the Golden Age—the interplay between actor and character name, and the roles those names played in establishing and perpetuating their screen personas.
It certainly comes as no surprise that John Wayne played numerous heroes named John and Jim or that Cary Grant portrayed three Nicks or how many good girl Pollys and Pennys there were, played by the likes of the young Shirley Temple and Judy Garland. But there were a lot of interesting aberrations– for example, though to most of us Clark Gable will always be Rhett Butler, he was also Ace, Blackie (twice), Candy, Duke and Patch; Humphrey Bogart may live on eternally in video heaven as Rick, but he also answered to Baby Face, Bugs, Turkey, Duke, Gloves, Chips and Rocks, Joan Crawford was Bingo as well as Mildred Pierce, and Bette Davis was Fluff Phillips as well as Margo Channing.
Looking over some vintage cast credits, one thing that jumps out is the number of current trends that were anticipated in the movies of the 1930s, forties and fifties. For example:
In addition to those mentioned above, there were:
BUNNY—Bette Davis, Katharine Hepburn and Lana Turner

Think Barossa and if you know anything at all about wine, you'll probably think 'Shiraz'. Patrick Smith does.
The Barossa, an hour's drive north of Adelaide, has been called the "the heart of Australian winemaking" and boasts some of the oldest Shiraz (Syrah) vines in the world - growing fruit that not only produces some of the valley's finest signature reds but speaks to a tradition going back more than 150 years.
You'll find evidence of the region's earliest wine pioneers at wineries such as Seppelt at Seppeltsfield, Yalumba and Saltram at Angaston and Langmeil and Château Tanunda at Tanunda.
Langmeil's Freedom Vineyard was planted in 1843 and Yalumba - Australia's oldest family-owned winery - was founded by English migrant Adam Smith in 1849.
Other significant wine families who settled in the Barossa went on to become famous names around the world: Burge, Gramp, Henschke and Lehmann to name a few.
Later, a young German migrant called Wolfgang Blass set up his first winery in a tin shed and started making accessible table wines that struck an immediate chord with wine drinkers.
Wolf Blass's first historic cellar still stands at Nuriootpa, although the company's spectacular new cellar door and information centre beside the Sturt Highway belongs unmistakably to the 21st century.
You don't have to be a wine buff to appreciate the heritage and culture of the Barossa; it's written too in the old Lutheran churches, the goldfields, the museums, memorials, pubs, restored pioneer homesteads and heritage accommodation.
The story of European settlement in the Barossa goes like this: Soon after South Australia was proclaimed a "free colony" (i.e. not settled by convicts) in 1836, George Angas, philanthropist and founder of the South Australian Company, commissioned a German minerals expert, Johannes Menge, to survey the ranges north of the fledgling city of Adelaide.
Menge reported enthusiastically (and pretty accurately as it turned out): "I am quite certain that we shall see ... vineyards and orchards and immense fields of corn throughout all [of this] New Silesia, which is matchless in this colony."
Encouraged by Menge's report, Angas earmarked land around the valleys, hills and open rangeland for agriculture.
The colony's Surveyor-General, Colonel William Light, named the region Barrossa after the site of an English victory over the French in the Spanish Peninsular War. The word means "mountain of roses" but it was misspelled on later maps and the uniquely Australian name Barossa stuck.
Even before Light had given a name to the promising region, however, a dissident Lutheran pastor from Prussia, August Kavel, had met Angas in London and asked him to help him find a refuge for his "Old Lutheran" congregation, which refused to accept King Frederick William's new, revised service.
Angas arranged for them to migrate to Australia. They arrived in 1838 and got to work creating a typical Prussian farming village, which they named Bethany, in 1842. Other German-speaking settlers followed, and with them grew up villages such as Langmeil, Lyndoch and Light Pass.
English free settlers, meanwhile, tended to put down roots at Angaston, to the east, the Barossa Ranges, Lyndoch Vale and along the North Para River.
The towns and villages of the Barossa wear their heritage for all to see: the Old Union Chapel and the Dodderidge family blacksmith shop, both at Angaston; the Herberge Christi Lutheran Church and the Pioneer Cemetery at Bethany; Château Tanunda, once the largest winemaking building in the Southern Hemisphere; the atmospheric Greenock Creek Hotel, serving beers from the Barossa Brewing Company's microbrewery housed in an 1860s wheat store just across the road at Greenock ...
The food of the Barossa is another (and pretty enjoyable) way to sample the traditions of the region.
You'll find the influence of those self-sufficient settlers surviving in Barossa butcheries, bakeries, restaurants and growers' markets: old-Europe tastes like smoked mettwurst and lachschinken, traditional breads, bienenstich and streuselkuchen, dill cucumbers, pickled onions, olives and olive oil, egg noodles, and a variety of chutneys, pickles and preserves.
And, tradition aside, it would be a crime to go past the wonderful Maggie Beer's Farm Shop at Nuriootpa.
Perhaps the best place to begin any wine, food or heritage trail is at the Barossa Visitor Information Centre in Murray St, Tanunda. Or you can create your perfect Barossa holiday itinerary at southaustralia.co.nz.
Happy trails!
Best time to travel: Spring and autumn. In winter you can sit in front of a roaring fire at many of the region's cellar doors.
Getting there: Barossa is a 60-minute drive north of Adelaide. Fly Air New Zealand non-stop to Adelaide from Auckland or through Auckland from all other Air New Zealand domestic airports.

Najīb Mah&dotbelow;fūz&dotbelow; (henceforth Naguib Mahfouz, 1911-2006), who became the first Arab writer to win the Nobel Prize in literature in 1988, is best known for his fiction set in his native Egypt (mainly Cairo and Alexandria) in the 20th century. In a career spanning more than seven decades, he published approximately sixty books, encompassing a broad array of fictional styles and genres.
Entombed within this expansive oeuvre is a small—and, until recently, largely neglected—body of works set in, or using devices from, the age of the Pharaohs. His first published book was a translation of a young readers' guide to ancient Egypt, and his first three published novels were inspired by classic tales and events from the 4th, 6th, 17th and 18th Dynasties. Like the vengeful ghost in one of his early short stories, " Yaqz&dotbelow;at al-mūmiyā'" ("The Mummy Awakens," 1939), Mahfouz's use of Egypt's often-glamorized past to write about its more problematic present was briefly revived with two book-length works in the 1980s. The technique also recurs in Mahfouz's final series of extremely short works, Ah&dotbelow;lām fatrat al-naqāhah (Dreams of the Period of Recovery (2000-2006)), as well as in references to pharaonic themes and imagery scattered throughout his fiction.
This dissertation analyzes these stories in their literary, personal, and political dimensions, using a largely—though not exclusively—new historicist critique. This approach strongly emphasizes all the factors that influence the production and reception of the works at hand, including both his personal experiences, the sources he exploited, and the impact of the cultural, political and social environments on the author and his writings.
In the end, this research demonstrates that for Naguib Mahfouz, Egypt was not just a place, but an idea—even a racial myth, drawn from historical sources through the filter of personal experience. This didactic vision of Egypt—which he viewed as the cradle of civilization and wisdom, and a potential model for modern enlightenment—resulted in a number of highly effective (if often underrated) works of allegorical historical fiction.

Live Commentary
Newcastle can certainly take plenty of positives from that showing as they pushed City to the limit, and they must now prepare to face Aston Villa on Saturday. Manchester City, meanwhile, host Liverpool in eight days in what will be another big test for the champions. For now, though, I've been Tom Maston, and thanks for joining me.
Referee Atkinson ends proceedings and the champions have made the perfect start to the new campaign. Silva and Aguero found the net, and though they didn't have things entirely their way, that is a performance that sends out a message that City aren't going to give their title up without a fight.
90' + 4'Newcastle realise now they aren't going to get anything from this game and City are able to play the ball around in midfield and wait for the final whistle.
90' + 2'Goal Sergio Agüero
GOAL!!! City wrap it up thanks to a fine individual effort by Aguero. The forward got away from Coloccini and fired at Krul's near post. The goalkeeper was able to parry but Aguero kept his composure to roll the rebound into the empty net. City are heading to the top of the table on opening weekend.
90' + 1'They almost didn't as Cabella pulled the ball back for Sissoko on the edge of the area, but the midfielder leans back and sees his shot fly over the crossbar.
90' + 1'The fourth official shows four minutes of added time on his board, and the home fans urge their team forward once again. Can City hold out?
89'Into the final minute of normal time and it's all Newcastle as they chase an equaliser. Hart is still to make a save, however.
87'Yellow Card Fernando
87'Yet another Manchester City booking as Fernando brings down Sissoko by the halfway line. The former Porto man knew what he was doing there as he halted another attack.
86'All Newcastle now as Obertan swings a ball from the right towards the back post, but Aarons cannot control his acrobatic volley and City can breathe again.
84'One debutant replaces another for Newcastle as Ayoze comes on for Riviere, and what a start he almost made. A ball over the top found him in space, and after bringing the ball down he looked for all the world like he would score, only for his effort to be deflected narrowly wide.
83'SubstitutionEmmanuel Riviere Ayoze Pérez
83'SubstitutionEdin Dzeko Sergio Agüero
Colback's latest free-kick into the box finds Sissoko as he climbs above Toure, but the France international can only flick it wide of the post.
82'City make their third and final change as Dzeko, whose delightful backheel created the only goal of the game so far, is replaced by Aguero for the closing stages.
80'Sissoko looks to drive the hosts forward again before being brought down by former Newcastle man Milner. Magpies doing all they can to build some late momentum.
78'SubstitutionSamir Nasri James Milner
Milner becomes the second City substitute to be thrown on as he replaces Nasri on the right-hand side.
77'Yellow Card Daryl Janmaat
Newcastle are throwing more and more men forward as time goes on, and leaving themselves open at the back. Janmaat is the man to suffer as he is booked for a foul on Fernandinho as he looked to get back into position following the break down of an attack.
75'Yellow Card Vincent Kompany
Colback robs Fernandinho with a tenacious tackle and looks to take the ball into the box, only for Kompany to check his run and pick up City's fourth booking of the afternoon.
74'SubstitutionYoan Gouffran Rolando Aarons
74'Pardew makes his second substitution as youngster Aarons replaces Gouffran for the final 16 minutes.
73'SubstitutionStevan Jovetic Fernandinho
73'JUST OVER! Toure has the chance to double the lead with a free-kick from 20 yards that flies just over the crossbar. Krul was worried by that one.
72'Pellegrini makes his first change of the afternoon as the hard-working Jovetic is replaced by Fernandinho. Surely a sign the Chilean is looking to shut up shop.
71'City have taken all the pace out the game with some patient passing play, and you have to wonder whether the Newcastle players still have the legs to keep going given the stage of the season.
69'Pardew still has new signing Ayoze on the bench should he require him, with the former Tenerife striker eager to impress. It may not be long until we see him.
67'Newcastle are doing all they can to throw everything at City, but Kompany and Demichelis are holding firm. Fernando is also doing a fine job at breaking up attacks with some strong challenges.
65'CLOSE!!! City threaten as Newcastle fail to clear a corner, and after Kompany stands the ball up from the left, Dzeko meets it with his head but sees his effort float just over the bar with Krul beaten.
63'SubstitutionVurnon Anita Gabriel Obertan
Before the corner can be taken, Obertan is introduced at the expense of Anita. Cabella's ball in is a poor one and City can clear at the near post.
62'Newcaslte threaten again, this time down the left, and Clichy has to put the ball behind for a corner as Gouffran looks to get clear and put in a cross.
60'Jovetic gets clear of the Newcastle defence as City go the direct route, but Coloccini gets back well to make the block as the striker gets a shot away. The goal apart, the hosts' defence have been excellent today.
58'From the resulting free-kick Dummett gets above Hart to head goalwards, but his effort is too high and the City goalkeeper can breath again.
57'Yellow Card Aleksandar Kolarov
Kolarov becomes the third City player to go into the referee's book as he brings down Riviere by the corner flag. Cynical foul by the left-back and no complaints about his punishment.
55'The former Sunderland man's ball into the box is a good one, but Gouffran cannot make the most of it and City get it clear. The volume has gone up a notch as the home fans sense an equaliser.
54'Yellow Card Martín Demichelis
Cabella's trickery is too much for Demichelis and the defender is booked for a blatant trip on the Frenchman. Chance for Colback to swing a ball into the box.
51'Jovetic and Dzeko combine well in the left-hand channel, with the latter's eventual shot sliced over the bar with the Montenegro man waiting for a ball into the middle.
50'Cabella's corner from the right causes all sorts of problems for the City defence as Gouffran finds himself in acres of space, but neither of his two balls across the box from the left can find a man in black and white, Eventually Hart claims the ball to ease the pressure.
48'A bright start from City to the second half is brought to a halt after Demichelis is penalised for a high foot on Riviere by the halfway line. The centre-back has shown no signs of a shortened break following the World Cup as yet.
46'Newcastle kick-off with no changes to either side at the break...
The two teams are making their way back out onto the field as we approach the start of the second half. Newcastle have done enough to suggest they could get back into this, though City could shut up shop early on if they feel the Magpies are causing too many problems.
The Magpies have few options on the bench who have much experience, though Obertan has had a good pre-season and may be introduced if things don't change in the second half. I'll be back in ten minutes to see if City can hold onto their lead.
The half-time whistle blows and it is the champions who have the narrowest leads thanks to a fine team goal from Silva. Newcastle have threatened without ever testing Hart in the visitors' goal.
45' + 1'Nasri almost gets in behind the Newcastle defence as we enter the second minute of first-half stoppage time. Pellegrini will be happy with his side's showing thus far.
44'City are holding firm in the build-up to the second half, with Newcastle's attacking threat diminishing since Silva's opener.
42'Riviere and Cabella are certainly bringing some flair to this Newcastle side, but Kompany and Demichelis have had a pretty comfortable first half. The work of Fernando in front of them has also been crucial.
40'That will come as a blow to Newcastle after a decent spell of pressure from the home side. Silva was allowed to break into the box unmarked, though a lot of the credit for the goal must go to Dzeko for his brilliant assist.
38'Assist Edin Dzeko
38'Goal David Silva
GOAL!!! City break the deadlock, and Silva is the man on target this time! A Toure ball over the top is delightfully backheeled by Dzeko into Silva's path, and the playmaker has time to pick his spot and slide a finish past Krul. Well-worked goal for the champions.
36'There is some concern here for Anita, with the physio having had to come on despite the midfielder originally declining treatment following that Silva foul. It looks as if he will carry on for now though.
34'Yellow Card David Silva
Silva picks up the first yellow card of the game for a trip on Anita as the midfielder got back well to win the ball for the home side. No arguments from the Spaniard.
32'Now Kompany pulls off some fine defensive work as he flings himself at the ball to clear Janmaat's cross with Riviere poised to finish behind the City captain. Superb from the skipper.
30'Jovetic again looks to get a shot in on goal, this time with his left-foot, but Williamson again puts his body on the line to make the block. Excellent defending from the centre-back.
28'Sissoko has certainly been the one player in Newcastle's midfield trio who has looked to break forward, with his driving runs not too different to those usually performed by opposite number Toure. The Ivorian, for his part, has been very quiet so far in this one.
26'Janmaat looks to chip a ball into the box as Sissoko races through, but the full-back's cross is too heavy and Hart can watch it bounce out for a goal kick.
24'Better from Gouffran as he races back to challenge Kolarov and win a throw as Janmaat found himself caught up the field. City not quite been able to threaten as much as they would have liked as yet.
22'Jovetic and Nasri combine well down the Manchester City right, but the latter's cross is far too deep for Dzeko and the home side can clear. Jovetic at the heart of much of City's good play thus far.
20'The game has entered a bit of a lull after a frantic start, though Newcastle do look a threat on the counter-attack when they find themselves in possession.
18'Clichy is getting some joy in his unfamiliar role on the right, and his cross has Krul stretching to catch inside his six-yard box. This certainly isn't the same Pellegrini side that we saw at Wembley last week.
16'Cabella attempts an audacious chip from 20 yards as he spots Hart off his line, but the France winger's effort is always too high. The former Montpellier man is certainly bringing a touch of the unexpected to this encounter.
14'Newcastle have certainly played some nice stuff in these opening exchanges, but have failed to penetrate the City defence as yet. Cabella has certainly looked bright when he has found himself on the ball.
12'GOOD SAVE! Krul has had a busy opening 12 minutes and he does well to keep the scores level as Nasri hits a vicious drive from 25 yards that the goalkeeper has to parry away from danger.
11'Krul has to be quick off his line again as he smothers Dzeko's flick forward as Jovetic chased it down alongside Williamson. The Montenegro international scored five times in pre-season and looks in the mood again.
9'Manchester City certainly look a threat down the left where Silva and Kolarov are looking to target Janmaat. The Dutch right-back will need some help to keep those two quiet.
7'Better from the home side as Sissoko twice drives them forward from midfield, but first Riviere and then Gouffran see the door shut in their face by the City defence.
5'Jovetic is heavily involved again as he looks to cut inside from the left-hand side of the box, but Williamson is out quickly to charge down his shot.
3'City threaten in the opening stages as Jovetic chips a ball over the top of the home defence, but Krul is alert to keep the pass away from Dzeko as the Bosnia striker looked to get on the end of it.
1'Manchester City kick-off and we are up and running in the North East...
After the formalities are completed, we are ready to get underway...
Before kick-off, though, we will have wreaths laid and a moment's silence in remberance of Newcastle fans Liam Sweeney and John Alder, who died in the MH17 plane crash as they travelled to New Zealand to watch Pardew's side in pre-season action. Unsurprisingly, the silence is impeccably observed by those inside the ground.
Big cheers as the two sides enter the arena, and the usual pre-match handshakes go off without a hitch. We're almost ready for the start of the champions' title defence.
The two teams are in the tunnel and they should be emerging to an electric atmosphere in a matter of moments. Few Premier League stadiums are noisier than St James' Park on a normal matchday, but with this being the opening fixture, expect the volume to be turned up a further couple of notches.
The two teams have completed their warm-ups and we should start seeing captains Vincent Kompancy and Fabricio Coloccini, along with their respective sides, appearing in the tunnel within the next five minutes. After a poor attempt at retaining their Premier League title in 2012-13, Pellegrini's side will be looking for the perfect start this time around.
If Newcastle are to spring a shock then they will have to turn around a pretty rotten record against City in recent years. The Magpies haven't taken a single point off the champions in nine meetings since October 2008, while they haven't tasted victory over the Blues in just short of nine years. The home fans will be hopeful of that being put right today.
You may recall that these two sides met on the opening weekend of last season, with City running out convincing 4-0 winners at the Etihad Stadium. Pardew has blamed the impact of Cabaye's wantaway attitude on that day, and does not foresee a repeat this time around.
Newcastle, meanwhile, have four debutants in their starting line-up, with Daryl Janmaat, Jack Colback, Remy Cabella and Emmanuel Riviere making their Premier League bows for the Magpies. Fellow new boy Siem de Jong misses out with injury along with Cheik Tiote, while Hatem Ben Arfa doesn't make the matchday eighteen.
Plenty of big news from Pellegrini's opening selection, with Joe Hart being preferred to Willy Caballero in goal. Pablo Zabaleta, Fernandinho and Sergio Aguero are only fit enough for places on the bench following taxing World Cup campaigns, so Gael Clichy starts at right-back, Stevan Jovetic plays up front and Fernando makes his Premier League debut in midfield.
Manchester City subs: Caballero, Boyata, Zabaleta, Milner, Fernandinho, Navas, Aguero.
Manchester City: Hart; Clichy, Kompany, Demichelis, Kolarov; Nasri, Fernando, Toure, Silva; Dzeko, Jovetic.
Newcastle subs: Elliot, Haidara, S.Taylor, Abeid, Obertan, Aarons, Perez.
Newcastle: Krul; Janmaat, Williamson, Coloccini, Dummett; Anita, Colback, Sissoko; Cabella, Gouffran, Riviere.
Before we go any further, the two team line-ups have been announced ahead of kick-off in 25 minutes' time...
Newcastle, meanwhile, have had a busy summer as Alan Pardew looked to spend the money the club received in January for Yohan Cabaye. There is a feeling among supporters and pundits alike that the Magpies could gatecrash the top seven this term if the new signings adapt, and today should serve as a good barometer of those predictions.
With Arsenal and Liverpool both having made winning starts to the campaign, the onus is on City to continue the trend of last year's top four in ending the opening weekend with victories. Post-World Cup fitness has been a worry for Blues supporters, and they will be hoping to see more energy from some of their key players this afternoon.
Hello and welcome to live coverage of the Premier League encounter between Newcastle United and Manchester City. The champions were sluggish as they lost out in the Community Shield against Arsenal seven days ago, and Manuel Pellegrini will be looking for an improvement for his side as they begin the defence of their title. I'm Tom Maston, and I'll be keeping you right up to date with events from St James' Park.

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — Ovens powered by solar energy. That's what students in Cape Fear Community College's Sustainable Technologies program built for a class project.
The goal was to use low cost and readily available parts to build solar powered ovens that could be used in rural India for humanitarian purposes.
Instructor John Wojciechowski said this challenge was a great way to teach students about global sustainability and how to capture the sun's rays and convert them to heat.
Paul Wilkes, with the non-profit Homes of Hope India, was one of the judges. If he thinks a version of one of the ovens could possibly be used in India, more in-depth research will be done.

University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston researchers have achieved promising results with a potential new weapon against respiratory syncytial virus, the most common cause of infant hospitalization in the United States.
In an effort to find an effective antiviral therapy for RSV, the scientists tested two types of complex, custom-designed molecule to interfere with the genetic machinery that RSV uses to replicate, or copy itself, within cells. Both of the so-called "morpholino oligomers," created by Oregon-based AVI BioPharma, penetrated cultured human airway cells easily and produced only minimal toxicity. One of the two, designated AUG-2, significantly reduced RSV replication in both cell culture and mouse experiments.
"Viral replication is one of the major pathogenetic processes of RSV, and we badly need a specific antiviral therapy," said UTMB Dr. Roberto Garofalo, senior author of a paper on the study to be published in the June issue of Molecular Therapy and now available in the "Advance Online Publication" section of the journal's website. "That's what an agent like this morpholino could give us."
RSV infects almost all children by age two, but normally causes only a cold-like upper respiratory infection. In some babies, however, it spreads to the lungs, where the inflammation it generates causes coughing, wheezing and extreme difficulty in breathing, a life-threatening clinical syndrome known as bronchiolitis.
Recent research by Garofalo and other investigators suggests that two key factors drive RSV bronchiolitis: an inflammatory overreaction by the cells that line the airways of the lungs, and a failure to respond to RSV by T lymphocytes (also known as "T cells"), immune system cells that ordinarily act to control viral infections.
Because a dangerous inflammatory response occurs so soon after RSV begins replicating in the lungs, Garofalo said, antiviral therapy by itself is unlikely to be sufficient to treat severe RSV infection in infants. But it could be a critical part of a "combination therapy" that also included drugs to reduce RSV-induced lung inflammation and boost T-cell response.
"The virus continues to replicate for days in the lungs of infected infants, and it induces inflammation as long as it replicates," Garofalo said. "So stopping viral replication would be a very important part of any therapeutic strategy for RSV."
Other authors of the paper ("Inhibition of Respiratory Syncytial Virus Infections With Morpholino Oligomers in Cell Cultures and in Mice") include Dr. Shen-Hao Lai and Dr. Sui-Ling Liao of Chang Gung University, Taiwan, Republic of China; David A. Stein and Patrick L. Iversen of AVI BioPharma Inc.; and Dr. Antonella Casola, assistant professor Antonieta Guerrero-Plata, research associate Chao Hong and postdoctoral fellow Teodora Ivanciuc of the UTMB Department of Pediatrics.
This research was conducted under a subcontract to Garofalo from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Viral Respiratory Pathogens Research Unit.

Wales flanker Dan Lydiate is to continue the player exodus to France after it was announced today that he will leave the Newport Gwent Dragons at the end of the season.
The 24-year-old was named player of the tournament for last season's Six Nations as Wales won the Grand Slam but missed the autumn internationals with a broken ankle.
Lydiate's injury was not serious enough to put off his French suitors, who are thought to be Racing Metro, although that has yet to be confirmed.
Dragons director of rugby Rob Beale said: "We are obviously very disappointed that Dan has decided to leave the Dragons. He has been a key part of out set-up for several years and is popular both with the players and the coaches.
"I can assure our supporters that we did all that we could to retain Dan but we simply cannot compete with the offers which have been put on the table."
Lydiate (above) made his debut for the Dragons in 2006 but suffered a serious neck injury the following season, which threatened to end his career.
But he made a full recovery and has been a part of Wales' set-up since 2009, earning 27 caps and helping his country reach last year's World Cup semi-final.
The number of players making the move from Britain to France is increasing, with no salary cap in place for French sides thus meaning infinitely higher wages.
Racing Metro are the latest French team on the rise with club president Jacky Lorenzetti among the richest men his country and is keen to sign big-name players ahead of a move to a new 25,000-seater stadium.
Racing are also thought to be the destination of Lydiate's international team-mate Jamie Roberts, who plans to quit Welsh domestic rugby at the end of this season.

David Butti looks at the increasing use of indemnities to provide extra cover against litigation in property transactions. David Butti is legal indemnities manager at Greystoke Legal Services.
It seems that a growing awareness of rights and entitlements is creating an increasingly litigious society. Consequently, the past few years have seen a proliferation of many different forms of specialist insurance.
In particular, there has been an increasing demand for insurance from solicitors who are concerned about the possibility of clients turning to litigation if they think they have received poor advice or have not had a defect adequately explained.
A solution lies in an indemnity, defined by the Oxford English Dictionary as "compensation for loss" or, more soberingly, "a sum exacted by victorious belligerent as one condition of peace".
Legal indemnities are relevant in many trustee and probate situation, but most are arranged in respect of property transactions.
Mortgagees are becoming increasingly aware of the problems that can be caused by defects in title: in fact, the term can cover a multitude of problems. The most common include situations such as the lack of rights of way or easements; lost or missing title deeds; claims for possessory title; and the lack of a full title guarantee.
Often the defect is caused by a possible, an intended or an actual breach, or simply by a lack of knowledge of restrictive convenants affecting the property.
Until recently, many defects in title were accepted as a minimal risk by all parties and the risk itself was accepted as not warranting insurance cover.
An example of this would be the 300-year-old cottage on a private access way that has been used as such by many previous generations. Despite the prescriptive right acquired over the years, mortgagees will now insist on a defective title policy because they are keen to make sure that everything is watertight. This covers lack of legal rights of access and easements, even where clear evidence can be supplied by statutory declaration to support the usage and no change in usage of the property is intended.
This example highlights the trend of lenders to prevent solicitors and clients "taking a view" on an issue. Either through ignorance – or by applying house rules that insist that every potential defect is covered – control is taken away from purchasers, adding to the cost of house buying.
A further area of demand lies in deed-of-gift indemnities. Most lenders will insist on protection wherever a transfer of undervalue either has been, or may have been, made.
The interpretations of those situations which mortgagees insist upon fall within the parameters of Sections 339-342 of the 1986 Insolvency Act and are varied, encompassing:
cash deposits by parents;
price allowances in inter-family sales for property improvement costs;
matrimonial settlements;
where the price paid is below building society valuation;
transfers at undervalue between family members.
As a rule, cover for mortgagees is freely available with the minimum of information needed in advance. Purchaser cover is also generally available, providing the transaction is at arm's length and free from any relationship between purchasers and the parties to the transfer at undervalue.
Suits for the suits
IT IS Not just the high street practices that have to be aware of potential claims. Some of the biggest names in UK law have had to battle it out with disgruntled or disappointed clients.
The year 1995, at the tail-end of the recession, seems to have been one when tempers snapped more quickly than ever. It was a long, hot summer of suits for the suits.
Simmons & Simmons was hit when Frere Cholmeley Bischoff issued a writ on behalf of Arab Bank, claiming negligence in a report on the Lingfield industrial estate in Darlington. The action was later settled for a nominal amount.
Around the same time, four of Canada's largest banks instructed Freshfields in a suit against Clifford Chance, claiming breach of contract and fiduciary duty and negligence.
The banks wanted £610m to compensate for a £450m loan to the Canary Wharf developer Olympia & York, which became insolvent in 1992.
This case is still ongoing.
The firm was being sued simultaneously by Zappia Middle East Construction – also of Abu Dhabi – and by merchant bank BZW. No steps have been taken in this case since 1995.
Although things were quieter last year, they were not without their moments.
In September, it was Freshfields' turn to be on the receiving end when the Bank of Ireland claimed the firm had acted negligently and in breach of contract when its insurers refused to pay out for damages claimed by merchant bank NM Rothschild. The Bank of Ireland said Freshfields should have given it a warning.
That claim has been reduced to £5m, and is still being vigorously defended.
The next month Simmons & Simmons was back in the news, when it came to an "eleventh hour" settlement over a £50m claim from Banque Bruxelles Lambert.
The bank claimed that the firm had failed to mention that a property against which it was lending money was not actually registered in the borrower's name.
With attention already focused on the SIF, and rumours of another recession, firms of all sizes will have to reconsider how they structure their cover.

Avraham Raz of Wayne State University and colleagues at the University of Michigan have identified a cleaved form of galectin-3 as a marker for prostate cancer progression.
These data are presented in the April 2009 issue of The American Journal of Pathology.
Prostate cancer is a common malignancy among men over the age of 50. The stage at which prostate cancer is diagnosed is critical for determining prognosis as well as choosing appropriate therapies.
Decreased expression of the marker galectin-3 has been reported to correlate with neoplastic progression in prostate cancer; however, increased levels of galectin-3 have been linked to tumorigenicity in a number of other tumor types. In order to reconcile this difference, Wang et al hypothesized that galectin-3 was cleaved during prostate cancer progression. They identified cleaved galectin-3 in later stage prostate cancer, and determined that reducing levels of galectin-3 inhibited the development of metastatic prostate cancer. Thus, cleaved galectin-3 may serve as a diagnostic marker and therapeutic target for prostate cancer progression.
Dr. Raz's group "show[s] that galectin-3 is cleaved during the progression of prostate cancer and might be associated with metastasis, cell growth, and tumorigenicity. … Expression of intact versus cleaved galectin-3 thus might be used as a marker for prognosis of prostate cancer and a therapeutic target for the treatment of prostate cancer."

Kojima wanted Grey fox to be the main character on Raising but his staff insisted on Raiden. (I think Raiden has more background story to explore).
To quote:
Tweet this!
Hideo Kojima's transition from game designer to game producer is one steeped in compromise, the Metal Gear mogul explained during a recent interview with IGN. Specifically, Kojima would have preferred that Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance star series mainstay cyborg ninja Gray Fox, rather than Raiden.
"It was my staff in Kojima Productions that insisted on Raiden, and I respected their idea," Kojima said. "In my personal opinion, I wanted to go for Frank Jaegar or Gray Fox. But if we had gone with that, I would have had to write the script and then be really committed to creating the game."
In the end, passing the torch of crafting Metal Gear's universe to the next generation of developers was of greater importance than ensuring Gray Fox as the star. "I want to pass game development to the younger generation in my team, and have been trying to do so for quite some time. Before I never could give complete responsibilities for other games, but for Revengeance, they are fully in control. Besides, if I had created the game and directed it, it wouldn't have been this game."

Avondale's new train station is a big hit. But there is one small snag, say commuters.
Where should they leave their cars? Joanna Davies investigates.
As the arrival time nears, more and more people gather along the edge of the platform to wait for the train to Britomart.
Since Avondale's new station opened in June last year, more and more local people are catching trains, and more and more cars are parked on the surrounding streets.
Commuter Lisa Truttman says land near the station needs to be considered for a park-and-ride.
"All of the people I've spoken to since the new station opened have said how wonderful the new station is, but they all ask why a park-and-ride wasn't included. By the amount of cars parked through here you can tell the train is really popular, but the traffic is very heavy around Avondale Primary School and the medical centre at the end of Layard St," she says. "There really is a need for a park-and-ride service. Avondale has a deficiency of car parks and it's just going to get worse as more people take the trains."
Whau Local Board is pressing Auckland Transport to look into the matter and to consider a patch of empty land beside the station for a park-and-ride facility.
Board chair Derek Battersby wants the land leased from Ontrack and KiwiRail.
"It is currently being used for storage for electrification equipment," says Mr Battersby. "But when it is not needed for storage, the land will be re-leased and we'd like it to be a park-and-ride, rather than going to a commercial operation."
He says the need for car parks will grow only as more people catch trains.
"People are just parking along all of the side streets and taking parking from residents. At the moment, we are still very much a car society. Maybe in 15 years we will have a fabulous transport system that will take you from your front door to the train station but, until then, we need a park-and-ride."
Ontrack's spokeswoman, Jenni Austen, says the land is being used for work on Auckland rail projects.
"Once it is no longer required for that purpose we would be looking for other leasing options for it. Our mandate is to make a commercial return from our landholdings," she says.
Whau Local Board has resolved to direct Auckland Transport to look into the land being used.
Ms Hunter says the concept is still at a very early stage. "We are looking into this and will have some more information in around a month."
Off the rails
Over the next three months, maintenance will take place over the Auckland
network. Some services will close temporarily.
May 14-15 Southern Line: closed from Papakura to Otahuhu
June 4-6 Queen's Birthday Weekend: full network closure
June 18-19 Southern Line: closed from Papakura to Otahuhu
July 16-17 Southern Line: closed from Papakura to Otahuhu
These closures are not yet finalised and may change. See: www.maxx.co.nz for more info.

Historic Mankin Mansion • Richmond, VA
Escape Kit
- A Two-Night Stay for Two in Your Choice of Suite or Cottage
- Freshly Baked Cookies Upon Arrival
- Daily Gourmet Breakfast for Two, Ensuite or in The Grand Rockefeller Room
- Bottle of Wine and Mediterranean Hors D'oeuvres
- Wine Tasting and Tour
- Daily Mimosas and Bellinis for Two
- Ensuite Movie Night with Sweet and Savory Snacks
- Champagne Toast for Two and Dessert at Pescados Restaurant
- Complimentary Chocolates, Snacks, and Sodas in The Game Room
- Wi-Fi, Guest Parking, and Round-Trip Luxury Shuttle Service to Richmond Airport and Train Station
At the turn of the 20th century, the Historic Mankin Mansion was built as a home for the founder of one of the South's most highly regarded brick foundries. Today, a husband-and-wife team of proprietors have restored the property to its circa 1903 grandeur, laying the foundation for an extravagantly elegant bed and breakfast nestled in the Richmond countryside.
This week's Escape creates the blueprint for a two-night stay for you and your favorite foreman ($350) in one of the inn's suites or cozy cottages, complete with a luxury shuttle to and from the Richmond airport or train station, a bottle of wine upon arrival, and a wine tasting tour for two.
"The winding road that leads to this Richmond estate is so scenic that we'll admit to falling in love with Mankin Mansion at first drive," gushes ResortsandLodges.com. "There's so much to adore about this Southern charmer."
After taking shelter, you'll be floored to find that your historic hideaway is mere minutes from the modern shopping, dining, and entertainment of downtown Richmond—but also feels as though you've stepped back in time. In addition to daily gourmet breakfast for two—which you can take in your guest room or The Grand Rockefeller Room—you'll delight in daily mimosas and Bellinis.
This grand mansion is more than just its facade, so take time to explore the grounds' formal English gardens, giant lawn-sized chess set, or bocce court. Once you steal away for a quiet moment beneath the shade of the inn's 100-year old Sycamore tree, you'll understand why this National Historic Landmark was named one of Virginia's top ten wedding resorts.
When your appetite goes through the roof, innkeepers Martin and Paula Ramirez will have already been two steps ahead of you: Your Escape also includes freshly baked cookies upon arrival, an evening of Mediterranean hors d'oeuvres for two, a movie night with sweet and savory snacks in your suite, and a champagne toast with dessert at Pescados, whose Caribbean-Latin fusion cuisine was named Richmond's best new restaurant of 2011.
"Synonymous with fresh fish, Pescados features only the freshest flown in daily from places like Honolulu and Tobago," says Richmond.com. "The result are dishes like plantain-crusted grouper, seared dorado fish tacos, or chef's specials that employ cutting edge cooking techniques like you'll find on Top Chef."
Lucky for you, the only quickfire challenge here is how fast you head to Richmond. For an opulent Escape to a bygone era, the writing's on the wall.
"The Ramirez family makes every moment perfect at this unique property. The grounds and cottages are elegant, relaxing, and inviting. The amenities are top notch. Every room is beautiful with attention to detail. [We] enjoyed every minute of our stay."-- TripAdvisor

The proposed Tri-County Hospital for Chiefland has won almost $52 million of the $70 million in economic stimulus bond money it requested from the state's pool of federal Economic Recovery Zone Bonds approved by Congress in 2009.
The Levy County Board of Commissioners was notified Thursday by the state Division of Bond Finance that it will receive $51.935 million of the bond money. And as more money comes into the bond pool — returned by municiaplities and county governments that cannot or are unable to use the money — more will flow to the hospital.

A jury took three hours to decide that newlywed Felicia Fine of Cedar Key was murdered by her husband, Charles Edwin Duke.
The decision on Friday came one week short of the first anniversary of Fine's death on Nov. 4, 2009, at the Rosewood home she shared with Duke and his friend Justin White.
Duke was also convicted of the false imprisonment of White for forcing the roommate to accompany him to a popular mud bogging site near Bronson where he negotiated White's release to law enforcement officers.

the board voted unanimously to make the steps negotiable. The decision was
officially added to the current contract Tuesday.

Hi there,
Just got a 8 week old puppy on Friday - we're doing crate training. First night was rough, she whined, barked and cried until I slept on the floor next to her crate. The next night she was good until around 6am then started to panic. Last night was great, she cried for a bit...we told her to be quiet and she was pretty good for the rest of the night. So progress has been shown in just 3 days, which I think is pretty positive.
But two things worry me right now. When I'm alone and go to take a shower, with her in her crate, she goes crazy. Same thing if I leave the house and leave her alone (which I'm trying to do to get her use to it).
I know you're not suppose to go pay attention to a dog when it's barking in the crate but a) she get's to the point where she sounds like she's panicking and going over the edge b) we live in an apartment and I'm worried about noise complaints.
Thoughts? Is this just normal behaviour from an 8 week old puppy missing her mother or is this something I should nip in the butt.
I should add that I've waiting 20-30 minutes for her stop barking, when I get out of the shower or come back...and she just doesn't stop.

Are you a true adventurer? If your idea of a perfect weekend means harrowing treks and trips that make others blanch, you definitely qualify.Explorer Kayaks Can:
Why are Sea Eagle Explorers the top choice of Wilderness Adventures?
What do you do when the placid river youre kayaking becomes a free-for-all of rapids?
If youre in an ordinary dry-only kayak with no drains, you must either portage your craft or get ready to sit in several inches of cold water. Similarly, a common wet-only kayaks permanently open drains let water in, even in dead-calm water.
The Sea Eagle Explorer Kayak is ready for wet OR dry conditions with four extra-large, easily convertible drains.
Drains OPEN, the craft bails itself in rough whitewater conditions.
Drains CLOSED, they dont let a drop of water in so you and your cargo stay comfortably dry in calm water. And worst case even filled to the gunwales with water, the Explorer Kayak still floats.
The Sea Eagle Explorer Kayak is as tough as nails and as rugged as the men and women who choose it. Stem to stern, its constructed of tough 1,000 denier polyester-supported high-pressure fabric with quadruple-thickness electronic-welded seams. How tough is the Explorer Kayak? In torture testing, we pounded it mercilessly with the claw of a claw hammer. It had no effect. Neither did stabbing it with a screwdriver. We simply couldnt penetrate the crocodile hide hull.
Would you hit an inflatable boat with a claw hammer? We hit the hull 1000 denier hull material in our Sea Eagle boats with a claw hammer .... with the sharp claw end.
The Sea Eagle reinforced hull material can take this incredible pounding ... so you don't need to sweat bumping into the dock now and then.
The toughest off-road vehicles have skid plate protection underneath; In the same way, the Explorer Kayak has two separate floors for double protection where you most need it:
The Explorer Kayaks super-tough hide and wet-or-dry self-bailing drain valves are just two of the ways this boat flaunts its snotty, bring it on attitude. Integrated bow and stern spray skirts have water-deflecting guards to keep you dry and rope lacing that forms secure hand-holds and convenient tie-down points.The Explorer Kayak can be piloted by one and easily accommodates two adventurers and tons of gear. With a beam of just over three feet wide, you get extremel stability. Two shock-absorbing inflatable seats (or optional high-back seats) are held rock-solid with nylon webbing that clips to six integrated D-rings. The Explorer Kayak comes complete and ready for action.
Choose from three hull sizes and two equipment packages. Each comes complete with hull, seats, two double-ended paddles, full instructions (printed and on DVD), inflation pump, repair kit, and convenient carry bag.
Our Sea Eagle boats are covered for a full three years against manufacturer's defects ... from bow to stern.
The Explorer 340x is an ideal day canoe for two, or a great solo whitewater or extended camping boat. * NMMA Certified
Our most versatile all-around model, the 380x is capable of holding one person and a tremendous amount of gear or two people and several days of gear.
Standard Features:
* Four High Capacity Self-bailing Drain Valves

Not getting caught just as important
Originally Published: January 21, 2005By Rob Neyer | ESPN Insider
Most people, when asked who was the better basestealer, Maury Wills or Ozzie Smith, would choose Wills. Or at least most people born before 1950. But Wills and Smith stole virtually the same number of bases (586 for Wills, 580 for Smith), while Ozzie was thrown out significantly fewer times (148 for Smith, 208 for Wills). We're often told how many bases are stolen, but we're rarely told how many bases were not stolen. Here are the five most prolific basestealers in major league history:
Former Expos burner Tim Raines is fifth on the all-time list.
SB CS Pct Ri. Henderson 1406 335 80.7 Lou Brock 938 307 75.3 Billy Hamilton 912 ??? Ty Cobb 892 ??? Tim Raines 808 146 84.7Not many would consider Tim Raines in Lou Brock's class . . . but, based on the bases they stole and those they didn't, one could argue that it's Brock who wasn't in Raines' class.

The sign on the road Steve Slaton is traveling is a common one in the NFL for a guy coming off a poor season:
Uncertainty ahead.
In a 15-minute chat with him this morning, I sensed he's got a handle on that, and is fine with it. He's ready to prove himself again, plug into the Texans' offense in whatever way he's asked to and wipe the tarnish off his name that came with a shaky sophomore season.
Something his coach, Gary Kubiak, told him after an outstanding 1,282-yard rookie season in 2008 proved prophetic.
"You come out of a rookie year where you gain 1,100-1,200 yards you think, 'Damn, this is a pretty easy deal,'" Kubiak said. "I teased with him before the season and said 'The next 1,200 you gain will probably be the toughest of your career. It's not that easy.'"
Slaton's still got 763 yards to go to get there after a poor 2009, when he gained only 3.3 yards per carry and fumbled seven times before a neck injury ended his season after 11 games.
By the time he went on injured reserve, he said he had a numb right arm from the top of his shoulder to his thumb, all day every day for two months. A pinched nerve led to a C-5 cervical fusion in mid-January.
He felt the difference as soon as he woke up and doctors told him it went as smoothly as possible and rate his recovery, tabbed to take four to six months, as very good. He said he will be ready for training camp, holding the ball high and tight.
He's been rehabbing since surgery and can now run and lift weights as long as he limits the stress on his neck.
"Everybody wants to come in their second year and never have that slump, and not have an excuse for something you think you can help," he said. "It was uncharacteristic of myself to fumble that much. I won't say it was the only thing, but I think it was a big part."
A revamped run game is the team's offensive objective this offseason. The Texans were a bad rushing team no matter who carried the ball, Kubiak emphasized. That was on the running backs, the line, the scheme and the coaches.
Guards Chester Pitts and Mike Brisiel were lost for the season early on, and with Kasey Studdard and Chris White in their place, the interior line was a weakness.
"We regressed in there, not by lack of effort, just by young players having to play," Kubiak said.
As the Texans seek to boost the run game and give a great pass game featuring Matt Schaub and Andre Johnson better balance, Slaton should be part of a new backfield combination.
If the price falls on a veteran free agent such as Chester Taylor or Thomas Jones, maybe one of them could be getting carries. If they don't see a value there, the Texans will attack the spot in the draft.
After failing with Ahman Green and Chris Brown, the popular thinking and the team's tenor suggest the Texans will address other areas in free agency and look for the running back in the draft.
"That has been a young man's position in this business for a while," Kubiak said.
So the expectation is that Slaton is the team's quick back and the Texans will attempt to bring in a bigger guy who can be effective in short yardage and goal-line situations.
"I'm not the biggest guy, I'm not the smallest guy," said Slaton, who was listed as 5-foot-9, 215 at season's end. "This league spits out running backs, they don't last too long. So to have somebody to help in certain situations is good. I want to be the guy when the game is on the line, you give me the ball.
"… As a running back, you're always stingy but you've got to be smart. If it helps the team, if I can't get it done and somebody else can get it done, then I'll gladly let that person come in and handle that job. But my thing is I want to be that go-to guy, I've always been that, that's what I pride myself on."
While he's encouraged by his recovery, ESPN's resident physical therapist Stephania Bell put up a caution flag. (See sidebar.)
"He will need to work diligently to strengthen the stabilizing muscles around his neck (very deep muscles) as well as all the muscles in the upper back that help support the neck," she said of going forward with the neck issue. "While he can very well be cleared to return -- and he can indeed go on to have success and not have another major incident -- there is inherently more risk, simply because of what he has been through."
Kubiak doesn't sound like he wants to distribute carries by preset formula, just the flexibility to use two different quality options in situations in which they excel. Offensive line/run game guru Alex Gibbs is no longer on the coaching staff, but Kubiak said the team has invested a lot of time in his zone blocking scheme and will stick with it, adding a few things.
One-cut-and-go backs are usually the guys who fit it well, though Kubiak said he'd be fine with two cuts.
Slaton is good with 20 carries in a game, Kubiak said, and actually runs better in the second half than he does at the start.
"But I think like anybody else in this league if you put the whole load on him, you can wear him down pretty damn quick, so we need a complement to him," he said. "… Obviously there is a place in this league for that guy, there is no doubt. He can make big plays. And then there is a place for a guy who can take a little bit more of a pounding and be a short-yardage and red zone guy. I think there is a place for those two guys in the league.
"The bottom line is we've just got to get another good player to go with him."

Term: Strappado
A form of torture used during the Spanish Inquisition, often against people (primarily women) suspected of Witchcraft. It was a popular form of such harsh interrogation because of it did not require an expensive apparatus.
The victim's hands were tied behind his or her back. A rope was then tied to the bonds and the person was lifted to the roof by these ropes. The pain was excruciating.
If the inquisitor did not receive the desired confession, he might convert the torture to a practice called squassation. The victim raised to the ceiling was dropped so that they fell, but the rope was short enough so they did not reach the ground. The result dislocated the bones and damaged the muscles of the victim beyond any repair.

And, not long after that, a friend of mine called me one Saturday afternoon on the telephone.
"Bob, I'm at a yard sale and there's a nice looking saddle for only $100. Want me to get it for you?"
"Uh, Clyde, I'm without a horse now."
"Well, I thought maybe if you had a saddle you'd buy you one."

"Katsura Yamauchi picked up his first saxophone in the early 1970s and was quickly drawn to modern jazz, avant-garde and free improvisation. Born in Beppu, far from the traditional creative centers around the bigger cities in Japan, Yamauchi was until recently relatively unknown, but has now shown himself to be one of the most unique musicians in Japan.
For years Katsura Yamauchi was sporadically active as both musician and concert organizer, and helped arrange performances in Japan for veteran musicians from both the USA and Europe, such as Derek Bailey, Tristan Honsinger and Milford Graves. Not until 2002 did he quit his regular job to dedicate himself fully to music. Yamauchi was influenced by the new experimental sounds coming from Tokyo, but had developed his own original style, mixing improvisation and minimalism with melodic elements. The music is at the same time challenging and easily accessible, unrecognizable and beautiful .
Katsura Yamauchi has released several solo CDs and recorded with Michel Doneda, Gunter Muller and Norbert Moeslang from Voice Crack and performed with Taku Unami, ISO, Misha Mengelberg, Tatsuya Nakatani, Sharif Sehnaoui, Jason Kahn, Otomo Yoshihide, sachiko M, Barre Phillips, Kim Dae-Hwan, Gino Robair, Toshinori Kondo, Yoshimitsu Ichiraku, Travassos, Toshimaru Nakamura, Seijiro Murayama, Han Bennink and many others.
In addition to extensive activity in Japan, Katsura Yamauchi has toured the USA and several times in Europe He has performed at the following festivals:. Musique Innovatrices 2005, Castello Canalis 2007, Beppu Contemporary Art Festival 2008, Ftarri Festival 2008, Amplify Festival 2008 and Asian Meeting Festival 2009."-Katsura Yamauchi website (translated by Google)
Ernesto Rodrigues has been playing the violin for 30 years and in that time has played all genres of music ranging from contemporary music to free jazz and improvised music, live and in the studio. His main interest shifted towards contemporary improvised and composed music. The relationship with Rodrigues' instruments is focused in sonic and textural elements. Electronic music was an early influence on Rodrigues' approach to violin playing, which challenges traditional romantic concepts of the violin/viola through use of preparations and micro tuning. Active in different settings on the Portuguese scene for free improvised music, both as a collaborator and in leading his own groups.Music for Dance, Cinema, Video and Performance. He created the record label Creative Sources Recordings in 1999, which mainly concentrates on releasing experimental and electro-acoustic music.
"Carlos Santos studied painting with António Sena (Ar.Co, 1988 -1992), worked in advertising for a period of time, but nowadays works as graphic designer in corporate identity, packaging, web and audio-video production. He started sound/music activities in 1989 when he formed the VITRIOL project with Paulo Raposo, a laboratory for experimental sound actions, in a first stage with studio work followed in 1994 by live output, mainly live electronics, concrete music with a improvised or graphic score oriented approach. Uses the laptop with software written in MaxMsp, small resonant objects, microphones and piezo elements to produce a music that deals with space and its sound characteristics. Interests in "soundscape" and field recordings are a huge part of his work, for piece preparation or just for archival purposes, Always recording, events, spaces or music. Multi-channel acusmatic music and radio pieces.
He presents himself solo in site-specific audio-video works, or in duos with João Silva (video, sound, photography), "Inhabitaded Spaces" with Ricardo Guerreiro (computer, mics), "Venús Pistolletto" with Emídio Buchinho (elec. guitar, mics, objects) and trios with Ernesto Rodrigues (violin) and Guilherme Rodrigues (cello) or ZNGR electroacustic trio with Carlos "Zíngaro and Emídio Buchinho. Member of several formations, "(Des)Integração" laptop ensemble (2001-2003) or in more electroacoustic sets, uses live-electronics and sampling which is the case of "Suspensão" septep, VGO, variable geometry orchestra and specially a trio close related to the "near silence" aesthetics, with Ernesto Rodrigues (violin, harp) and Guilherme Rodrigues (cello) with already several CD releases, always with at least one international improviser guest. Presented his work in Portugal, Spain, France, UK and Germany. Worked with artists from several media: dance, performance and video. Music and sound design for video and animation. Video and sound editing for comercial projects. Played live or in recording projects throughout the years with a lot of musician and sound artists. His sound work is documented in several CD releases. Belongs to the Granular board of directors, a portuguese association for experimental art and does the image of Creative Sources label. Broadcasts "Boca Doce" show at Rádio Zero (web) and other special shows. Workshops and seminars in digital audio manipulation, Maxmsp programming and sound art practise."

I tried hard not to pay much attention to what others were working on until after I had my own quilt done, because I didn't want to be influenced by anyone else's work. Since then, I've spent a decent amount of time pouring over all of the photos in the flickr group and leaving messages on all of the ones that moved me for one reason or another. I empathize with Violet very much, so I thought I'd try to ride a mile on her donkey, so to speak, and pick a winner of my own. I based my choice 100% on my personal taste and style by asking myself the following two questions:
- do I wish I made that?
- do I want to steal that?
Ladies and gentlemen, may I present -- my winner (created by flickr user theglasdiva):
I love absolutely everything about this quilt. The design is perfect. The integration of solids is perfect. The quilt has a wintery feel despite the springy cheerfulness of the fabrics, and there is such terrific movement in this design that my eyes never stop. Even so, it's very zen.
In short, I wish I'd made it and I want to steal it. I want it. I will take it and hide with it for years in an underground cave, and then after I lose it in a game of riddles, I will follow a pair of tricksy hobbitses through the gates of Mordor only to jump into the fire of Mount Doom to be with it forever. My precious.
There were a lot of great projects submitted, and based on what I've seen on Instagram, there are many more still in progress [deadlines suck]. I created a flickr gallery with some of the others that caught my eye.
Do you have a favorite? Who's your winner?
