Culture at the Crossroads
Art for Art's Sake
Two stories from the past week have gotten me thinking about the role of art over Western history and in the contemporary world. The two stories in question are about the National Portrait Gallery's removal of an exhibit after a complaint by Catholic League President William Donohue and an installation of a digital version of DaVinci's famous "Last Supper" in the Park Avenue Amory in New York City.
One story, a beat down of the avant-garde. The other, recovery of a classic. Which story is a better model for culture?
Answer: both.
First, the avant-garde beat down. I'm not primarily interested in the reason for the beat down, though that is a larger debate worth pursuing elsewhere. I'm more interested in the power of art to generate reflection. I guarantee that had William Donohue said nothing, only a few thousand people would know about David Wojnarowicz's work. But now a lot of people are up in arms about this "Catholic censorship" thing, and the art itself will receive a great deal more attention. The Transformer Gallery has picked up the controversial video. Friends of Wojnarowicz can rejoice that he will gain notoriety much like Robert Mapplethorp.
The digital show of DaVinci fascinates me: it's allowing a "laptop generation" (so named in the NY Times story) to witness DaVinci's masterpiece in a way that most could not unless they traveled to a monastery in Milan. By any measure, "The Last Supper" is a classic. I understand the word "classic" in theologian David Tracy's sense, paraphrased below.
A classic is a person, text, event, melody, or symbol encountered in some cultural experience that bears a certain excess of meaning as well as certain timelessness; it confronts and provokes us in our present horizon with the feeling that something else might be the case. (Paraphrase of The Analogical Imagination here)
The only way to tell a classic is with time. All attempts at art, I think, aim at being classic; most fall short. What makes classics is the very fact that they capture what people are thinking about, or need to think about. There is, then, a natural affinity between art and heresy or blasphemy, if we understand these terms as describing what's outside the usual conventional wisdom about ultimate things like God, love, suffering, life, and so on. Art wants to challenge people, get them outside their natural tendencies to follow the herd. Michelangelo certainly did this with his crazy naked people all over the ceiling of a church!
Art, then, is a kind of corollary or counterpoint to cultural norms, whether they emerge from a church, a political system, or even a passing trend. If art provokes people to think about what people in a society are doing, and it continues to do that over time and over generations and even over centuries, it is classic.
Tim Muldoon holds a Ph.D. in Catholic systematic theology and is an award-winning author and Catholic theologian of the new evangelization.

The Chinese government lived up to what most experts expected would be their reaction to the brutal actions of the military junta of Myanmar — do nothing. China made it clear its opposition in the Security Council toward any UN actions such as sanctions against the Burmese military junta which has used force to put down peaceful demonstrations against its oppressive regime. Liu Janchao, a spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry noted: "China hopes all relevant sides of Myanmar will maintain restraint and achieve reconciliation, democracy, and improve the living conditions of the people by peaceful means."
This absurd statement merely reflects the intent of the Chinese government to ignore the use of force against peaceful and restrained efforts by the Burmese people led by pacifist monks to somehow express their frustrations with a government that is brutal, opposes democracy, and is destroying the living standards of the ordinary Burmese citizen. Perhaps, it is time for the world to respond to China's inaction by boycotting the 2008 Olympics — of course, such action should be done peacefully, with restraint and through democratic means.

Will Smith leads Forbes star bankability list
By Alex Dobuzinskis
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Will Smith was named Hollywood's most bankable star in a survey of movie industry professionals released on Tuesday by Forbes.com, the Web site of financial magazine Forbes.
Smith, who received a perfect 10 on the survey, was followed on the Forbes list by Johnny Depp, Leonardo DiCaprio and Hollywood supercouple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, who were all tied with a score of 9.89.
John Burman, special projects director for Forbes Media, said Smith, who won fame on 1990s television sitcom "The Fresh Prince of Bel Air," can star in any movie genre.
"He can move from doing the pop film to an 'Ali' to a 'Seven Pounds' to 'The Pursuit of Happyness,' so he's able to play in all worlds and I think people just like watching him on screen," Burman said.
For its first-ever "Star Currency" list, measuring the financial clout of Hollywood stars to get movie projects going, Forbes surveyed more than 150 entertainment industry professionals, including producers and directors.
The stars were ranked on ability to attract financing for a project, box office success, appeal to different audience demographics and other factors.
The Philadelphia-born Smith's latest movie "Seven Pounds" was released on December 19 and has made more than $141.6 million worldwide. He also starred in the 2008 summer hit "Hancock," which made more than $624.4 million worldwide.
Most of the stars on Forbes' top 100 Star Currency list are over 35, including 78-year-old "Gran Torino" star Clint Eastwood at No. 20. Continued...

So in all that the answer to my question seems to be....... strike a balance that makes you feel confident in your vehicle between the BMW recommended maintenance and mike miller's and ofcourse your wallet. What i'll probably do is be proactive on replacing cheaper parts according to Mike's plan and mix in elements of BMW's. For example i will replace T-stat and Wpump at 100K as this is their appox lifespan anyway but not the entire radiator and hoses if it is not leaking and unless i have a problem i probably wont change the tranny fluid either unless there is an acute problem. However oil changes are pretty cheap and as a crucial fluid i think that its good insurance to change this as per mike's plan - i will prob do it every 7,500 miles (mobil 1). pads/rotors i can leave to idrive to tell me since i beleive that system is pretty conservative with these items anyway.
I guess we all have to rememeber that the cost of parts is not an indication of how long they will last. Waiting for the day the radiator blows is understandable for cash flow reasons where as replacing chaper parts that are known to fail around certain timeframes before they have actually broken is also an understndable plan if you want to increase the reliability of your car without costing the earth.

PositiveID Corp. has submitted to the Food and Drug Administration a 510(k) pre-market notification application for its "iglucose" technology to better manage diabetes. FDA 510(k) clearance is necessary before the product can be commercially available.
The iglucose product enables the transmission of readings from a data-capable glucometer to a diabetes management Web portal where diabetics can gather and track their glucose levels and permit access to family members, caregivers and clinicians. The product eliminates the keeping of paper-based logbooks and helps increase self-management, according to the Delray Beach, Fla.-based vendor.

Tom says that "For a student interested in public policy, there is absolutely no better way to spend the summer than to work and learn as a Rappaport Fellow. The incredibly strong network of alumni of the program has enabled students to match their interests with Boston's many institutions that operate within the public and non-profit sectors. As a result, one gets the opportunity to engage with tough questions and produce innovative work that has real influence. The Rappaport Fellowship program couples the opportunity to do fascinating work in the Boston area with a deep support network. This support network pairs individual attention and mentorship with engaging and educational group activities. The incredible knowledge and devotion of Rappaport staff enabled me to find a placement, develop an innovative project that tackles a thorny, important question, and ultimately produce work of which I am enormously proud."


text: WASHINGTON, March 6, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The American Psychological Association will recognize nine organizations for their efforts to promote employee well-being and performance at its eighth annual Psychologically Healthy Workplace Awards in Washington, D.C., on Saturday, March 9. The four employers who will receive APA's Psychologically Healthy Workplace Award (PHWA) are Bowers + Kubota Consulting ( Hawaii), Triple-S ( Puerto Rico), Christiana Care Health System's Helen F. Graham Cancer Center, ( Delaware) and Tripler Army Medical Center ( Hawaii). These organizations reported an average turnover rate of just six percent in 2012 – significantly less than the national average of 38 percent estimated by the U.S. Department of Labor. In surveys completed by the winning organizations, on average, fewer than one in five employees (19 percent) reported experiencing chronic work stress, compared to 35 percent nationally, and 84 percent of employees said they were satisfied with their jobs, versus 67 percent across the U.S. workforce. Only 11 percent of employees at these organizations said they intend to seek employment elsewhere within the next year, compared to almost three times as many (31 percent) nationwide. "Forward-thinking employers such as our 2013 award winners are taking steps to create a positive work environment where employees can thrive," says David W. Ballard, PsyD, MBA, head of APA's Center for Organizational Excellence. "In turn, employees are more engaged and committed to the organization's success. This shared responsibility for creating a psychologically healthy workplace promotes an organizational culture that values well-being and performance and delivers results on both sides of the equation." The Helen F. Graham Cancer Center will be recognized for its comprehensive programs including an annual employee retreat, wellness website and flexible scheduling. The company reports that since the implementation of the annual retreat, employees have demonstrated measureable improvements in conflict management, internal communications and group cohesiveness.

The past two centuries have turned the library into a gold mine for people in search of practically anything. It began in 1800 as a modest medley of 740 books and three maps. It's ballooned to a colossal collection of 115 million books, recordings, maps, photographs and manuscripts.
Of course, the more stuff it accumulated, the more space the world's largest library needed. First housed in an office in the US Capitol, the LOC has sprawled into 530 miles of bookshelves and 22 reading rooms spanning three buildings.

Puppies: Echo, Bella, Maisy Mae, Pippa, Bear
Profile: I currently have 3 dogs. Bella is my 15 year old American Eskimo. She is still ornery and funny at 15. She still does full flights of stairs and loves her treats and DQ now and then. Pippa is guessed to be 4, she was adopted last August and her DNA test says she is a Chow Chow/Lab/Shih Tzu! She was found running in a farmers field and was luckily caught before the fox or coyotes got her. Bear was adopted in July, 2014 and is a Lab Mix. She has spent the first 3 years of her life chained in the backyard and has the one inch scar around her neck to prove it. No more chains for her! The girls also live with a Bloodhound named Angus who belongs to my boyfriend. I have been active with rescue for many years and encourage everyone to adopt!
Friends: 27

Godspeed my sweet boy. I miss you every single day. Echo was my first dog of my very own. He knows commands such as shake (with each paw based on the hand you offer), down, stay, sit,high five, Hug- He puts his paws on your shoulders, his first squeaky toy was a snowman so he thinks every toy is called a "snowman". He loves to lay in the snow and let the wind blow through his hair. He's a freak about baby carrots and refuses to eat regular carrots. We call him our metrosexual because he refuses to get his paws dirty unlike his sister. He stands to the side while she digs in the dirt with a look of such disgust. When he comes in from outside, his first item on the agenda is to come and find me so we have fun with hide and seek. He absolutely loves to ride in the car and believes that every drive through will deliver treats if he stares at them long enough and he usually succeeds. We love him dearly and hope to have many more years with him.View Profile
Bella was brought into our home 3 months after Echo. She is one hysterical little lady. We call her snowplow becuase she loves to stick her whole head in the snow, look up with a snow covered face and wonders why we are laughing. Bella has a dark side...she's um...racist! Yep, she goes beserk when seeing people of color on the street OR on tv. She actually watches tv and because she attacks the tv at the sight of any 4 legged animal, my animal planet watching must be done with her out of the room. She sleeps in my daughters room. We just say "time for bed" and she wanders upstairs and gets in her bed all on her own before my daughter even arrives! Bella has unfortunatetly been fighting a thyroid condition and allergies since she was 2 so she is our "plus size model" and we love her dearly. Accupuncture has been a god send in keeping her active. She can be a little mean to her brother. She always waits to eat her treats until he is finished with his knowing he will come and see the status of hers and then she can crab at him. Poor guy. She also chases him around the house and grabs his legs. While Echo suffers major anxiety if he can't see or know where Bella is. Bella is quite content to spend time alone at home without her dreaded brother. While she has her little imperfections, they make her who she is and we love her dearly.View Profile
Maisy Mae was adopted around age 7 from a shelter. I saw her face on petfinder and knew I had to go and get her. I had been doing boxer rescue for a long time but decided it was time to adopt the seniors. Her soulful eyes burned right through the screen to my heart. She blended with our white furballs quite easily and soon because my best friend. She was a crazy girl, always taking all the toys outside to play with, and Echo would slowly bring them all in only for her to return them to the yard. She loved to cuddle with me all wrapped up in a warm blanket. Anyone who thinks adopting a senior dog is not worthwhile has lost out on a truly wonderful experience. Her last year of her life she became stone deaf, and then she became very vocal. We laughed at how long she would chew a squeaky toy because of course she couldn't hear it! She was a petite little girl weighing only 45 lbs. At age 9 she developed Cushings disease and during the treatment she caught pneumonia and no longer could fight it. We helped her to the bridge and it was the worst day of my life. I know she is happily running now and waiting for me at the Bridge. Godspeed my beloved lady...View Profile
Pippa came to me last August as my foster dog. My Echo had just passed away leaving my Bella behind and very sad and lonely. When Pippa came to us Bella came back to life and it was my birthday so I decided it was meant to be even though I never thought I would have a terrier. Pippa is not very girly, she's all terrier. She loves to chase rabbits, squirrels and any other small moving thing. She likes to chase balls and will just lay down in the water when she's tired. She is a very sweet girl and prefers to be on my lap or touching me when I am sleeping. When I give her a bone she will often "hide" it between the chair cushions or in the closet as if I can't see it. She brings us lots of smiles and laughs and we love her very much.View Profile
Bear was brought home in June of 2014 as my foster dog and yep she stayed. She had lived the first 3 years of her life chained up in the backyard and didn't know how to live in a house. She has the 1 inch scar around her neck to prove it. Those days are gone. She lives with 3 other dogs and loves to play ball and with her siblings. She has learned how great it is to sleep on the bed and often won't get off without being drug! We are very happy to have her in our lives. She is our Whisker Face!View Profile

Both of these products stimulate collagen, but are used in different ways. One advantage of Radiesse is that you get some fill for immediate gratification with collagen stimulation occurring later. With Sculptra, it takes several months to see the effects of collagen formation.
I use Radiesse primarily to fill lines like smile lines and often small amounts under the eyes and for cheek augmentation. I also love it to fill the back of the hands.
I use Sculptra for an overall volumizing and lifting effect. It is ideal for patients who experience hollowing as they age. This is an excellent product and worth the wait for the results it can achieve. Neither product is ideal for lips.

text: So, I just finished changing the clutch on my 2003 wrx. Everything seemed to be on correctly when I double checked before lowering it off the jack stands. But when I went for a short test drive I noticed a very strange noise coming from my turbo, which i haven't heard before. As soon as the car started to boost even just at 1 psi there is a very loud whining noise coming from the turbo, and its not the normal sounds that are generated. The best way i can describe it would be that it sounds like the whine of a supercharger. Its obviously the sound of the actually turbine in the turbo but why would i be hearing this and why would it be so loud? My only thought now is that something is not sealed properly. If anyone has information on this or has experienced this it would be great to hear what you know about it. Thanks.

Mississippi Flooding Affecting Food Prices
Although the Mississippi flooding is no where near finished, the economic blow to the region is already very high. Besides the loss to personal and commercial properties, over 100,000 acres of farmlands were flooded on the weekend and grain elevators all along the river are knee deep. The trade commerce that uses the river as a main transportation waterway is being slowed and in some places, barges are moored completely. Over 60 percent of the U.S exported grain is transported via the Mississippi - and the already volatile commodity markets are acting accordingly.
Joining us on The Takeaway is Louise Story, Wall Street and Finance Reporter for our partner The New York Times. She says that the trickle-down effect from the floods will be felt far and wide.

No word on whether Windows Phone 8 will also ship on that date, but if not we're sure it won't be too far behind. Windows 8/RT promises to be the largest overhaul of the Windows UI since at least Windows 95, with a shift to a far more mobile-centric workflow featuring Window Phone 7's Metro UI. In fact many industry observers have questioned whether desktop and laptop users will be much interested in the new version, although a slew of tablet converters and touch laptop hybrids promises to offer several different use models, alongside tablets based on both x86 and ARM chips.
Who is getting excited for this release out there? And do you plan to go with Microsoft's own hardware, or see what other Windows OEMs cook up?

LMS 4.2 maximum records in syslog report is 10,000
I seem to be unable to generate a syslog report that contains > 10,000 records. And I don't mean with run type immediate either. I am scheduling them to run at the next 5 minute interval (incidentally, why not have an option that just says "run in background now"? But I digress....)
I am facing an issue where a bunch of errors are being generated by a voice gateway and I want to determine when the problem started. My syslog contains 7 days of records. If I schedule a report to give me all syslog records for the last 1 week (or 7 days I have tried it both ways) for all devices at that location I get 10,000 records, and they are all for the current date. If I schedule a report and select a date range in the past, I get records within that date range, but only 10,000.
Has anyone else run into this?

New Goatwhore out Today!!!
Legendary ORIGIN joining Summer Slaughter 2017
Motley Crue announces second stage details
MÖTLEY CRÜE has issued the following Crüe Fest 2 update:
Crüe Fest 2 has announced a partnership with Monster Energy to add an additional stage at this year's festival.
The new Monster Energy Stage doubles the entertainment value at Crüe Fest 2 with five extra bands showcasing the next generation of rock, including one local band in each tour market. The performances on the Monster Energy Stage will be staggered between main stage acts creating a non-stop music event and adding to the overall festival atmosphere. With no change in ticket prices, rock fans will be given the opportunity to see ten great rock bands for the price of one.
A local band will be chosen by the presenting radio station in each market contributing to the legacy of rock bands on the tour. The chosen band will open the Monster Energy Stage for a dedicated and Crüe Fest 2 sized crowd.
"It's always been in our hearts to turn our fans onto new rock music. A 2nd stage seems to be just what the doctor ordered for Crüe Fest 2 and gives loyal Crüe and rock fans more for their hard earned money. See ya there," said Mötley Crüe's Nikki Sixx, Mick Mars, Vince Neil and Tommy Lee.
Monster Energy has dedicated its brand to live music over the years as part of major National and International festivals, specialty concert tours and substantial one-offs, in both core sponsor and associate sponsor categories utilizing on-site activation through multiple avenues. The partnership with Crüe Fest 2 marks the first time Monster Energy will have a mobile stage dedicated entirely to their brand.
"Mötley Crüe is such an iconic band with the most loyal fans in the world. In a time where it seems everything is being cut back, Mötley Crüe is giving more to its fans and at the same time giving up and coming bands exposure. Monster Energy is proud to be a part of the havoc that will be wreaked across the nation this summer," says Brent Hamilton of Monster Energy.
The main stage at the Live Nation produced Crüe Fest 2 stars Mötley Crüe and features GODSMACK, THEORY OF A DEADMAN, DROWING POOL, and introduces CHARM CITY DEVILS. The sequel to last summer's most successful touring festival begins its North American trek in Camden, NJ on July 19th and comes to an end on September 5th in Darien Lake, NY.

Toilet Sharing Service Creates Public Restrooms In People's Homes
AirPnP connects people to owners of bathrooms looking to make some money.
AirPnP lets people rent out their private bathrooms to others who are looking for a quick relief, namely during crowded events or in areas where public bathrooms are non-existent. It's a witty spinoff of AirBnb; but instead of offering lodging and large venues for hire, the app looks to offer a more favorable alternative to stationed Port-A-Potties, which almost always see a never-ending line wrapped around.
Launched just in time for this year's Mardi Gras, the site has already grown to more than 1,200 sign-ups for its peer-to-peer service. Site visitors can choose to "Find a place to pee" or "Add a place to pee." For those people offering a bathroom to rent, they can upload pictures of their facility, indicate the location and name a price. On the other spectrum of things, people paying for services can rate their overall pee experience by measuring the cleanliness of the bathroom or the quality of the toilet paper.
All of the restrooms are located along the announced Mardi Gras parade route, and can cost as much as $5 per visit – but desperate times call for desperate measures right?
Payments can be made through the app, but it appears that most renters seem to prefer cash.

When I was six, my mother cut my hair herself (into some sort of demented pixie cut that turned into an afro because she didn't know how to take care of the curls) because she didn't like dealing with the tangles in my hair.
When I was 12 or 13, my mother took me to the salon where they tried to 'reverse-perm' my hair and I ended up with an even bigger afro than before.
When I was 17, a stylist told me she knew how to cut curly hair. When she went to cut my bangs, I told her to cut them no shorter than the bottom of my nose. She cut them at my eyebrows and I ended up with no bangs at all when my hair dried (and I refused to pay for the haircut).
THAT is when I started growing my hair out ...
Three years ago, I went to a stylist who specializes in curly hair (recommended here) for a 'dry cut'. My hair looked great when I left the salon, but my hair looked worse afterwards because I couldn't figure out how to diffuse my hair the way he did.
Last year, I went to another stylist who specializes in curly hair for a cut and color. He ended up not being available and I ended up with one of his assistants. She didn't take my greying roots, or my dark ends from years of coloring, into consideration and I ended up with tri-colored hair -- brassy red at the roots, a beautiful color in the middle, and dark brown on the ends. She tried to 'fix' the problem but couldn't, so I ended up going back to my normal hair color.
I haven't stepped foot in a salon since! I hate when stylists tell me they know what they're doing -- but they don't -- and I end up looking worse than when I went in.

Application of cell and tissue culture and in vitro selection for disease resistance breeding — a review

Somaclonal variation, i.e. the variation induced by cell and tissue culture, offers an opportunity to broaden the genetic variation of crops. As a result of somaclonal variation a wide range of plant characteristics can be altered. However, the selection of agronomically important traits, e.g. disease resistance, has many limitations. The efficiency of selection can be increased by the application of in vitro selection procedures. Selection strategies that may be applied to obtain disease resistant somaclonal variants are described. Their merits and limitations, in relation to the efficiency of the procedures, the frequency of disease resistant variants and the genetics of the resistance obtained, are discussed.

The Obama campaign couldn't have been thrilled with Drudge's expectation-warping headline this morning: "DANGER DAY: HILLARY FACES '15-POINT DEFEAT' IN NC."
I asked Obama spokesperson Jen Psaki about the report, which was attributed to a top Clinton campaign staffer. She wouldn't respond directly, but offered this admirable effort at counter-spin:
"The Clinton campaign, including their top surrogate Terry McAuliffe and President Clinton, have said that big wins in North Carolina are important for their campaign and we'll take them at their word."
Also, this: "If we lived and died by the polls we would have won the nomination and dropped out of the race by now."

"I started rollin' down that lost highway."
— Hank Williams
Not a bad strategy when it comes to looking for a nearly year-round bass habitat. But unlike the sorrowful tune that ol' Hank moaned in 1949, roadbeds are a sort of lost highway that are often a magnet for largemouth in reservoirs throughout the country.
Trap the rushing waters of a major river — along with a few of its tributaries — and roadways old and new, large and small, straight and serpentine, surrender their purpose. They may have relinquished that purpose to humans, but these forgotten by-ways become underwater highways that bass follow to migrate through seasonal changes, adjust to fluctuating weather conditions and congregate in sizable schools.
Roadbeds are generally neither difficult to locate nor hard to fish. In some reservoirs, they can be widely known community holes; yet on others they can harbor some of the least pressured bass populations in an entire river/reservoir system.
Either way, these abandoned roads still produce good fishing. It just takes two different approaches.
"Roadbeds are always good," says former Bassmaster Angler of the Year Aaron Martens, who has fished the structures from California to Alabama. "A lot of times they are community holes, so they get a lot of pressure. Like on Guntersville, roadbeds are kind of worn out. There are a bunch of them here, but there is always a boat on them because they're kind of obvious on a map. Everybody can find them.
"But some lakes we go to have a whole bunch of roadbeds and they are a factor. There are so many that a lot of them don't get pressured. And you find a sleeper."
Bassmaster Elite Series competitor Mike Wurm is another fan of roadbeds.
"As far as roadbeds are concerned, they are easy to fish," the Arkansas pro notes. "There is nothing hard about fishing a roadbed because it usually has very little cover associated with it.
"You have to have patience and be able to decipher where the fish are going to be and how they are going to relate to the roadbed. You have to consider the time of year, the water color, the water clarity, the wind direction and whether it is sunny or overcast. But patterning bass on a roadbed is far easier than it can be with other types of structure."
General Roadbed Rules
Former three-time Bassmaster Angler of the Year Bill Dance emphasizes that not all roadbeds are equal.
"The key is targeting the old roads that are different and have some type of irregularity on them," the long-time television host advises. "Some roadbeds simply aren't well-defined. But if it has good definition with ditches on both sides, culverts, crosses creeks, or is raised and stands a couple of feet higher than the surrounding terrain, it can be a super spot.
"Once I locate a roadbed, I spend several minutes closely examining it with my depthfinder, looking for an unusual feature on it. If it is at the right depth, the best place on it often is where it crosses a creek, drain or small river channel. On an improved road, you will usually find at least a culvert or two, and possibly a bridge. Most culverts and bridges are reinforced with concrete or steel, so when you pass over them, you will see a very definite echo on your depthfinder.
"If the road is straight — and most roadbeds are fairly straight — I'll put out a couple of markers and troll along it with my trolling motor. This is the easiest way to fish it. One of the most productive tactics for fishing a quarter- or half-mile stretch of a roadbed is to stay on the edge of this underwater road on the side that has the deeper ditch."
Prime real estate on roadbeds, what Martens calls "sweet spots," can include bridges, intersections, ditches, culverts, potholes, fencerows, bends and curves.
Intersections are among the most common — and productive — areas of these lost highways. These junctions usually involve a creek or river channel where a bridge was built to cross it. But an intersection can be where a roadbed intercepts with another road, treeline or section of low-lying land that was once dry. The juncture of a roadway with a creek channel, though, can be a bass mine because it provides such attractive ingredients as a variety in depth, plenty of objects (cover) and current that still funnels baitfish through a relatively confined area.
"This is a bonanza situation," Wurm states. "With an intersection, you've got four points to fish, four areas where a school of bass could be attracted."
Martens is particularly fond of fishing guardrails along the sides of a roadbed (which usually indicates a sizeable depth change off of the road). He believes bass will hold on the outside of these metal or concrete rails and ambush baitfish that are blown or drift across the flat surface of the thoroughfare.
"Nowadays, our electronics are really good, so a lot of times you can find these places by just idling over them," Martens says. "You can see where the rocks are located. Metal guardrails are easy to see. Concrete looks more square on your graph."
When it comes to locating bass on roadbeds, Martens' primary tools are a spinnerbait and both lipped and lipless crankbaits: a Norman DD22 (for probing the deepest spots) and Rat-L-Trap for covering shallower stretches.
"A roadbed might be 2 miles long and it all may look the same, but those fish will school on anything," he adds. "So I throw a DD22 or slow roll a spinnerbait until I find one. Usually if you find one fish, you'll find more on a roadbed. Usually if you catch one fish, you know there's five or 10 there. Or 20 or 30."

Candid Rogers, AIA, fell in love with a two-room stone house built in 1873. When the architect decided to renovate the tiny structure as his own home, he honored its intimate feel with a similarly compact 960-square-foot addition. "Its scale was what attracted me to the old house," he explains, "so I wanted to respond sensitively to it."
Living and dining spaces now occupy the pre-existing stone dwelling, with kitchen, bathing, and bedroom functions filling out the new space. Siting the addition away from the main house offered several benefits. The resulting L-shaped footprint generates a small north-facing courtyard that captures prevailing breezes and connects almost every room to the outdoors. Aesthetically, Rogers says he "set back the connecting walls by a foot on both sides to let the original house stand proud."
Deferring to the surrounding neighborhood, Rogers chose common local materials for the new rooms and applied them in uncommon ways. Locally milled cedar planks clad the exterior bridge linking old and new. Each horizontal board was custom-cut to fit snugly against and preserve the 136-year-old limestone walls. Raw cedar siding connects the stone to rolls of galvanized steel strips that wrap around the addition. More often seen on Texas rooftops than walls, the low-impact, low-maintenance metal will retain its luster over time. Inside, natural, nontoxic finishes such as cork, flyash concrete, and reclaimed wood complement the original rooms with their casual, contemporary tones.
Rogers wanted every detail in his humble house to sing, so he celebrated everyday functional objects, such as the sculptural water collection system that irrigates the landscape. In an effort to preserve the old house's existing roofline while uniting it with the addition's taller massing, he created a valley between the two and outlined it with an eye-catching gutter.
Rogers couldn't be happier with the results: "The experience of sitting on that porch on a rainy day and hearing the water flow is very pleasant," he says.
discovery mission Architect, builder, and homeowner Candid Rogers, AIA, had to use all his powers of imagination and plenty of elbow grease to capitalize on the original building's potential. Beneath layers of plaster, stucco, and paint stood enviable limestone block walls. A crumbling porch at the front and rotting kitchen addition at the back had to be torn down. But Rogers salvaged what he could, repurposing wood beams to make a new front door and kitchen shelves.
His mission was mainly to clean up the ravages of time and misguided remodels. So he stripped existing window and door casings back to their natural wood and removed gypsum ceilings to expose old rafters. He also discovered rich red pine floors beneath chipped tile. "I added insulation to the roof and inserted a central cooling system, but anything else I did to that space kept to its original intent," he says. "I let the house speak of its age and time."

The golden candlestick
After this Zechariah is, as it were, awakened by God to see all the perfect order of that which He was going to establish. Here also the present grace furnishes the occasion for the revelation of the ulterior purposes of God. The prophet sees the vessel of the light of God on earth ordained in all its perfection. The candlestick was one, but it had seven branches. It was unity in the perfection of spiritual co-ordination -- perfect unity, perfect development in that unity. Each thing was in its place as a means, and the two sources of spiritual grace which fed the light, were placed one on each side to sustain the light that shone before Jehovah. These are, as it appears to me, the royalty and the priesthood of Christ, which maintain, by power and spiritual grace, the perfect light of divine order among the Jews. The work was divine, the pipes were of gold. The thing ministered was the grace of the Spirit, the oil which fed the testimony, maintained in this perfect order. But the Spirit first places Israel, at the moment of the prophecy, in a very definite position. It was not yet the time for the exercise of outward power, or for Jehovah to put forth His might, and establish His glory and His worship among His people. It was His Spirit acting in the remnant of Israel, if they would hearken, to bring them into relationship with God morally, and in a worship that He would accept, if -- imperfect as it must needs be, since the nation was not re-established by the power of God, but remained still in bondage -- this worship was rendered to God in Spirit and in truth, according to that which He bestowed on the people. And at the same time, outward providence was exercised to accomplish all that was necessary for the maintenance of the relationship with God, and that God's grace had established for Israel, after their fall and their deliverance from Babylon by the providential interposition of God. The seven eyes which ran to and fro throughout the earth should see with joy the house in which the restored remnant would be in relationship with God, completed by the hands of Zerubbabel.
This clearly defines the position of the people, and the two orders of things set before us in this prophecy. The present condition was that of relationship with God, established in sovereignty by His Spirit, through which He could accept their worship, His Spirit being in the midst of the restored remnant, and providential power being in exercise to secure blessing, but no immediate government on God's part. Government was left in the hands of the Gentiles.
That which was prophetically in view, was the perfect order established in Jerusalem as the vessel of divine light on earth, maintained by the ministry of the two sons of oil -- the royalty and the priesthood -- which stood before the Lord [1] of the whole earth. The God of Israel had had His throne at Jerusalem. The God of heaven had bestowed the dominion of the whole earth on the head of the Gentiles. Now the Lord* of the whole earth would establish earthly order, according to His will, at Jerusalem; and would there maintain divine light by a royal priesthood in His presence.

The budget hearings that the Metro board is launching tonight are different in several ways. One is that the transit authority leadership is offering riders a variety of ways to complain, praise and otherwise interact about train and bus service.
This is a welcome change from the old practice of having a board member or two sit silently behind a table while riders walk up to a microphone and say they don't want their transit service cut. Instead, each of the six sessions will start with an open house at 5:30 p.m., offering a chance to speak informally with Metro officials; followed by a town hall meeting at 6 p.m., which should be a chance to exchange ideas in a forum, followed by the official public hearing at 6:45 p.m., required to take comment on proposed service cuts.
My comment is that the main reason for holding the official public hearings shouldn't be on the docket. When confronted with the staff proposal to cut weekend train service still further to save less than $6 million on a $1.466 billion operating budget, the board should have instructed the staff to find a way around that.
I hope that hard-pressed local jurisdictions can find the extra money to further subsidize the transit authority. But it can't inspire confidence among those jurisdictions to see that Metro can't find a way to make an adjustment of less than one percent in its budget to save riders a lot of pain.
What are the riders supposed to say when we get to the official public hearing part of the agenda? Here's a prediction: They're going to say, "Don't cut the weekend service."
What more are they supposed to say at that point? There's no fare increase proposal on the docket this year, so they can't offer to support that alternative. Besides, last year's hearings resulted in the biggest fare increase in the system's history. So don't they deserve one year without fare increases or service cuts?
It's insulting to riders to put them through a new round of uncertainty about service over such a relatively small amount of money.
I do hope that riders will come out and give the board members a piece of their mind on this and many other topics during the six sessions. Here are the locations.

One More Ovation
Prepared by Sous Chef Humor
This weeks Quick Fire Challenge was more than 30 minutes. It began with a 4:30 wake up call and a trip down to the American Seafood Company. Right off the bat you could see that some of the chefs were right on their game while others were a little more hesitant.
They arrive in the kitchen to learn that Chef Hiroshi Shima would be the guest judge. With 30 minutes to prepare, this was truly a challenge.
"Sushi was invented thousands of years ago in Japan as a way to preserve raw, cleaned fish. It was pressed between rice and salt by a heavy stone for a few weeks and then covered with a lighter material like seaweed until the fish had fermented."
WRITTEN, PRODUCED AND SHOT BY LEENA PENDHARKARhttp://www.journalism.berkeley.edu/projects/mm/pendharkar/sushi/art.html
This is not a dish that all chefs are trained to prepare so before we move onto week 3, let's take one last look at some of the wonderful dishes that were prepared.
and give all the chefs another round of applause.

Friday, Georgia Travels to Atlanta for SEC Tourney
March 12, 2014
About the Game
Georgia begins play in the 2014 Southeastern Conference Tournament on Friday night at approximately 9:30 p.m. (EDT). The Bulldogs enter this tournament as its No. 3 seed and as such, has earned a "double bye" through the first two rounds. They must wait until the tournament's 10th game before taking the floor, facing the Game 6 winner, which will feature Ole Miss and either Vanderbilt or Mississippi State.
Georgia arrives in Atlanta this week with an 18-12 overall record, 12-6 in SEC play, having earned a second-place tie in the final conference standings. For the Bulldogs, that's heady and historic stuff, considering where they stood as their pre-conference slate concluded on Jan. 3. Georgia had just dropped an 18-point decision at George Washington, with a record of 6-6 and an RPI rating in the mid-260s. Since then, the Bulldogs have won 12 of 18 games and have improved their RPI to its current standing in the low 70s.
Georgia enters the week as winners in four of its final five games, and eight of its last 10 contests. Most recently, the Bulldogs concluded the regular season with a 69-61 victory at LSU last Saturday. Seasonal scoring leaders Charles Mann (22 pts.) and Kenny Gaines (21) led the way offensively while Mann completed his first career double-double with a team-high 10 rebounds. The win marked Georgia's fourth sweep of its five SEC home-and-home series this season.
Mann Tabbed Coaches' All-SEC 2nd Team...
Sophomore guard Charles Mann was named this week by the league's 14 head coaches to their post-season All-SEC 2nd team. It marks the second consecutive season in which the coaches bestowed post-season honors upon the Alpharetta, Ga., native. Mann was named to the Freshman All-SEC team in 2013. He leads the Georgia squad in the following categories: scoring (13.4 ppg), minutes (30.0/g), assists (3.2/g), steals (1.1/g), FTA (246) and FTM (170).
Here's some historical perspective to Georgia's performance in the SEC season. This is the 81st year of competition in the SEC. The 2014 season marks just the 10th time that Georgia has managed to win at least 10 conference games. All 10 of those years follow in descending order:
In that same 81-year span, Georgia has finished second or higher in the SEC standings just four times:
Georgia has had a modicum of success in this mammoth hoops facility called the Georgia Dome. Bulldog teams have played 22 total games there, 14 in previous SEC Tournaments, eight others in various regular-season events. Georgia has an 8-14 all-time record at the Dome. It is 5-9 in SEC Tournament games there. For any newcomers reading this, the 2008 Georgia team was awaiting its second-round game (having defeated Ole Miss in OT the previous night) when a tornado struck the Dome. The resulting damage forced the tournament's remainder to be moved nearby to Alexander Memorial Coliseum at Georgia Tech, where the Bulldogs won the championship with three wins in two days.
Georgia participated in the first-ever basketball event in the Georgia Dome, the 1992 Kuppenheimer Classic, a one-day, two-game affair that featured Georgia Tech vs. Louisville in the opener and Georgia vs. UCLA in the nightcap. Georgia played in the same event for the six years that followed before it was moved next door to Philips Arena.
Road wins in conference play are prized possessions, for sure, but road wins by double digits are rarer still. Georgia has two of them on its resume -- by 20 at Miss. State and by 17 at South Carolina -- for the first time in 17 seasons, going back to the 1997 campaign, Tubby Smith's second in Athens.
Another landmark related to Smith's brief tenure at Georgia: the current team now owns seven wins by double digits in SEC play. That's the most by a team at UGA since Smith's first team did it in 1996.
The 2014 Bulldogs went 8-2 in their last 10 games. Included in that 10-game span were three road victories and a perfect 5-0 mark at home. The average victory margin of the five home wins was 12.4 points; for the three road wins, it was 15.3 points.
The 2014 team swept four of its five home-and-home series in SEC play. That's the first Georgia team to sweep four regular-season series in 24 years, going back to the 1990 season, when the conference played an 18-game, double round-robin schedule.
Kenny Gaines averaged just 3.7 points in 10.3 minutes as a freshman last year, playing primarily behind the SEC's MVP, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope. This season he has scored in double figures 20 times, including team scoring honors in five of the past seven games. Most prominently, Gaines has found his range from the 3-point arc. Over the Bulldogs' past five games, he has made 21 of 36 shots from 3-point range (52 percent). Gaines' stat line over those past six games follows:
Charles Mann's knack for frequent trips to the free-throw line is no secret. As a freshman last season, he had the fifth most free-throw attempts of any SEC player (170). He surpassed that mark this season in the 22nd game, and this year he's second in the SEC in that category behind Auburn's Chris Denson. Mann now has the third most FT attempts in a single season in UGA history. He also has the fourth most FT makes in a single season in UGA history. He's a long shot to break both records, but he could pass one or two more people, depending on how many more games Georgia plays.
Mann was named this week to the Coaches' All-SEC 2nd team, following his appointment in 2013 to their SEC All-Freshman squad. It hasn't been long since a Georgia player enjoyed such honors. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope was also named as a Freshman All-SEC player in 2012 before winning the league's MVP award in his final season of 2013.
Free throws aren't the sexiest stat around, but it sure explains a lot behind Georgia's 18 wins this season. The 2014 team already has the second most Free Throws Made & Attempted a single season in UGA history. Depending on how many more games the Bulldogs play, they will likely break the record for FT attempts and could come close to breaking the record for FT makes.
Were there to be a Comeback Player of the Year award in the SEC, Marcus Thornton would certainly be a worthy candidate. The native Atlantan has been a key factor behind Georgia's landmark SEC season. He is Georgia's top rebounder (6.9) and its third-leading scorer (9.2) in league play. He's scored in double figures in four of the Bulldogs' past five games. All this after undergoing three knee surgeries -- and taking a medical redshirt season in 2013 -- over the past two years.
Amidst their up-and-down performance on offense and defense, the Bulldogs' one virtual constant in SEC play has been their rebounding. Georgia outrebounded 15 of its 18 league opponents this season. The three exceptions? Florida, which it tied with 34 boards apiece, Tennessee on Feb. 18, which outrebounded Georgia 37-30, and Missouri on Feb. 25. The Mizzou game, in fact, marked the only time all season Georgia won a game in which it was outrebounded. Highlights in the league schedule were a +15 ledger vs. Ole Miss, +9 in a win at Missouri, +8 vs. Miss. State, +7 & +9 in wins over LSU, as well as a +22 margin in beating Arkansas.
Georgia began this season amidst low expectations...externally, anyway. The Bulldogs were picked by the media that cover SEC basketball to finish 11th in the 14-team league, ahead of only South Carolina, Mississippi State and Auburn. Kentucky, Florida and Tennessee were picked 1-2-3 in the same poll. Additionally, no Bulldogs were selected to the 16-player pre-season All-SEC lists.
The internal expectations, however, -- at least by the head coach -- were considerably higher. Coach Mark Fox is the SEC's representative as a voter on the weekly USA Today Coaches' Top 25 poll. He included his own team on his pre-season ballot, as well as the first couple of weeks into the season.
Georgia survived the 2014 season (thus far) with relatively few injuries. The most signficant ones included:
Sophomore Brandon Morris missed the 2nd half of the finale at LSU after a collision caused him to get stitches around his left eye. In a game two weeks before vs. Missouri, he took a seat briefly when his left calf muscle cramped. After getting fluids and a Rice Krispie Treat -- yes, a Rice Krispie Treat -- he rejoined the fray less than two minutes later.
It wasn't an injury, but a mid-season stomach virus infiltrated the Georgia team and laid several players and staffers temporarily low. The illness began its trek through the program in the second week of February, as Georgia prepared to travel to Miss. State. As a precaution, most of the travel party wore surgical masks on the plane and bus rides, as well as at the two practices in Starkville.
Georgia begins the post-season with an RPI in the low 70s. That's a long, steep climb from its rating in the low 300s in late Novembe. Georgia began the SEC schedule on Jan. 8 with an RPI of 256.
Georgia shot over 60 percent in the second half on five occasions this season, including three SEC wins. The Bulldogs shot 73.9 percent in the second half Feb. 12 at Mississippi State, the program's best-shooting half since 2001.

Club America opened the scoring in the second leg in the 18th minute when Oscar Rojas' cross banged off Arsenal defender Christian Diaz into his own goal.
Arsenal's Jose Calderon hit the post twice and Club America goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa saved a strong header from Andres San Martin to keep the Mexican club ahead.
Juan Silva's volley gave Club America a 2-0 lead (4-3 on aggregate) after latching on to a lobbed German Villa pass. But then Andrizzi's strike finally brought a trophy to Arsenal.
Pachuca won the 2006 Copa Sudamericana with a final win over Colo Colo of Chile. In 2005, the Mexico's UNAM Pumas fell to Boca Juniors in a penalty shootout.

Best known as a manufacturer of studio headphones, AKG also produces a strong line-up of cans for personal use, including the highly regarded K701s and their less-expensive siblings, the K601s we're looking at here. For my money, these are the most stylish 'phones on test - simple, elegant and refined, with a cool two-tone colour scheme, and a good, old-fashioned leather headband.
The K601s also score highly for comfort, the luxurious velvet earpads fitting easily over the ears, held snugly but not too tightly in place on your head by the headband and its two high-tension supports. A kind of ball socket arrangement allows the earpads to adjust to the shape of your head, and getting a good fit is no challenge. You can - and I do - wear these for hours on end without any difficulties.
Build quality is very solid too, with a tough, mostly plastic construction, a single thick cable trailing down from the left earpad, and adequate reinforcement for the points where wire meets plug. The cable ends in an old-school 1/4in jack and a gold-plated converter to change this down to a 3.5mm mini-jack is provided in the box.
The K601s have an open-back design, and use a two-layer variant of AKG's patented Varimotion diaphragm -as used in its high-end studio headphones - along with neodymium magnets to create their distinctive sound. At its best, it's very clean and precise, with sometimes unbelievable levels of detail in the high-end and the mids, and an epic, wide-open soundstage. Unfortunately, you'll need external amplification to get it; the 120Ω K601s were harder to drive than any other headphones on test, and the P7 couldn't produce a decent noise from them without the volume pushed almost up to max.
It's also a sound that doesn't suit all types of music. If you like hard rock you'll find the bass too quiet and big mid-range-heavy sounds, like thick, distorted guitars, lacking in body. At times, the overall tone can come across as clinical. Without amplification you'll want to reach instantly for the Sennheisers or Grados. Even with it, you might end up wanting something a tad more in-your-face. Dance music or electronica isn't such a problem - the AKGs actually did a storming job with Justice's dancefloor anthem DVNO, but Justin Timberlake's straight pop sounded slightly underwhelming.
However, there were other tracks where the K601s put in as good a performance as any other cans on test, if not better. They coped superbly with the huge shifts of tone and volume in Wagner's Trauermusik, and pulled tiny instrumental details from Talk Talk's Desire that I'm sure I've never heard before, Through the Morning, Through the Night, from Robert Plant and Alison Krauss' Raising Sand, was a feast of shimmering loveliness, with beautiful vocals and a spacious, yet intimate sound that effortlessly delivered that 'I could be in the studio' sensation. If this sort of definition appeals over rich, upfront tone, then the K601s might just be the 'phones for you. They're not great all-rounders, but when the material suits, they're phenomenal cans.
While they take some driving and can be weak or over-clinical on rock and pop, the K601s are extremely comfortable and put in a superb performance with classical and jazz.

I found a short between the input and ground pins of the 7805 chip on the backside of the circuit board. I cut the short between the pins, and saw a significant improvement in the resistance measurements. I replaced the 7805 and all appears to be fine (at least the green power LED light operates) with the 9 VDC adapter input.
My PicAxe Development board arrived today. When attempting to power the board, the supply voltage drops from 5 Volts to about 0.3 Volts. This happened when using the 3 "AA" battery set and using a 9 Volt regulated power supply. Measuring the resistance across the 5 Volt input pins on the board shows a resistance of 0.2 ohms with nothing connected to the board.
Any suggestions?
No public wish lists :(

I remember eating cheesecake at a young age and my love of that marvelous dessert started. We have many recipes made with cream cheese, but I will be honest, I love just simple cheesecake. My Grandma used to make this recipe. It only calls for 4 ingredients and a graham cracker crust. It is so easy and so delicious!
Delicious No Bake Cheese Cake
1 can of sweetened condensed milk
1 8 ounce tub of cool whip
1/3 cup of lemon or lime juice
1 (8 ounce) package of cream cheese
1 pre-made graham cracker crust
You will want the cream cheese to be room temperature. This will make it a lot easier to make the cheese cake.
After your cream cheese is softened, mix it in a mixing bowl with an electric beater. Then mix in the condensed milk, cool whip, and then the lemon juice.
Mix about 2 minutes so it is well combined and smooth. Then pour your mixture into the graham cracker crust. Refrigerate for an hour to and hour and a half.
