First Person
The Wizard of West Fifty-seventh StreetBy Claire Messud
Our Spring Revel will take place on April 3. In anticipation of the event, the Daily is featuring a series of essays celebrating Robert Silvers, who is being honored this year with The Paris Review's Hadada Prize.
My first encounter with Robert Silvers was with his sonorous and elegant voice, with its precise, slightly British diction. It must be said that most of my encounters over the years have been with the voice rather than the man, as we've met in person only a few times.
I first heard the voice in the summer of 1988. Back in the States after my first year of graduate school at Cambridge University, I somehow landed a job in the advertising department at The New York Review of Books. I can't imagine I came by it entirely honestly, but I have no recollection of whose kindness may have opened the door. This was at the old address, 250 West Fifty-seventh Street, where entering the offices felt somehow like slipping in a back door, because you were immediately dwarfed by books. Mountainous, heavily laden shelves overhung the narrow, dark corridors, and people scurried quietly among them as if in fear—fear, I always thought, that like Leonard Bast they would be crushed by knowledge.
In the several months I worked in those offices—in the domain of Catherine Tice, at the elbow of a brassily confident assistant named Kim—I never laid eyes on either Bob or Barbara. (I had, on the other hand, many mad and wonderful conversations with the late Bob Tashman, who roved the office with apparently much time on his hands and who, although balding, had an impressive corona of hair emerging from his shirt collar. His long-worked-upon American Decameron, alas, we will never now see.) Bob and Barbara's offices were down long tributaries of the book-lined hallways, unenterable by the likes of me. But I did, upon occasion, hear the magical voice. It was like hearing the Wizard of Oz. Whether he was speaking on the telephone or to an assistant, his interlocutors were inaudible, the authority of his inflections absolute, and his physical presence purely notional. Read More

Step 1: Remove the old caulk and clean the joint
When the caulking around a bathtub starts to crack and become a cozy home for dark stains that signal mold, it's time to replace it. The caulk is the watertight seal between the bathtub and the wall. Once the caulk's integrity is compromised, water can invade the wall, causing rot in the framing around the tub. Pick up a 5.5-fl.-oz. tube of tub-and-tile caulk and you can clean and recaulk the tub in less than an hour.
Laying a smooth, clean-looking bead of caulk is tricky. If it doesn't go right, you can wind up with sticky caulk all over the place and a sloppy-looking job. It takes a little technique and practice to lay a caulk bead like a pro, but this article will set you on the right path.
Before you recaulk your bathtub, you must completely remove the old caulk. Clean the joint so the new caulk will bond properly, creating a watertight seal (Photos 1 – 3).
Step 2: Re-caulk the joint
Photo 5: Smooth with your finger
Dampen your finger in the tub and drag it over the freshly laid bead of caulk. Press the caulk into the joint with the tip of your finger and scrape away the excess with the sides of your finger (it may take a few swipes). Wipe excess caulk off your finger with a damp rag.
Fill the bathtub with water before caulking. The water weight will maximize the width of the tub/wall joint and prevent future stress and cracking. Once your caulk bead is dry, you can drain the water.
Laying a uniform bead of caulk requires constant pressure on the caulk tube. The bead should be sized so only a slight amount wipes off when you drag your finger over it. As the caulk tube empties, you'll find it increasingly difficult to keep constant pressure on the tube and lay a uniform bead. Photo 4 shows the size of the caulk bead and how to repressurize a partially spent caulk tube.
Finish the bead and clean off any excess caulk as shown in Photo 5. If you're having trouble smoothing the bead of caulk, try rewetting your finger or using a different one. The tile corner joint is just as important as the tub joint. Caulk it as shown in Photo 6. Allow the caulk to dry for 24 hours before using the bathtub.
Trim Tip for a Perfect Joint
Cutting the right size opening at the tip of the caulk tube is critical for a clean, smooth bead. A large opening will spread too much caulk into the joint and you'll wind up getting it all over the place. It's better to cut the tip too small at first because you can always recut it if necessary. Use a utility knife to cut the tip of the caulk tube at a 45-degree angle so the opening is about the diameter of a wire coat hanger.

CHINO HILLS -- The infamous former maternity hotel in this city is up for sale, and it isn't cheap.
Priced at $3.3 million, the hilltop mansion at 15250 Woodglen Drive - owned by Hai Yong Wu - has been listed by the Rowland Heights-based IRN Reality for 21 days.
Real estate experts are questioning details in the listing, its agent and, considering the home's celebrity status over the past four months, contend it may make for a difficult sale.
A public nuisance complaint filed Dec. 7 with the court detailed how the 7,964-square-foot house was in violation of several code enforcement laws, including illegally converting the seven bedrooms and six 1/2-bathrooms into a 17-bedroom maternity hotel operation.
The real estate listing for the home says it has seven bedrooms, seven bathrooms and the original square footage, but the description also says, "according to the buyer (seller) the size of property is around 15,000 square feet - over 10 bedrooms with six detached garages and plenty of parking spaces. "
"Something doesn't pass the smell test here," said Jack Ritoli, real estate broker/owner with Southern California Realty Associates.
The discrepancy over the property's description will pose a problem if the buyer does not pay cash. If financed, an appraisal will reveal the apparent inaccuracies, Ritoli said.
Also, the listing agent to the property is Xiaoshun "Sabrina" Chen, the same person who is the contact person to the Woodglen property on the city's code violation notice.
The house gained notoriety after city and law enforcement officials as well as community members learned it was being used as a maternity hotel. It was alleged that wealthy women from China stayed at the house before and after giving birth at local hospitals. The woman had traveled to the United States so their children could be born on American soil and become citizens.
Through a court-ordered inspection in November, city officials discovered that the residence has been used to house as many as 30 women. Each room had matching bedding and furniture, monogrammed towels and a portable hot water kettle, according to court documents.
A temporary restraining order was filed by the city against the owners of the house on Dec. 27 in West Valley Superior Court in Rancho Cucamonga.
Despite a failed court appearance by Wu in January, city officials and Wu's attorney Stephen Shepard entered into an agreement or "stipulated judgement" in February to bring the controversial home up to city code in 210 days.
City officials said they will continue to enforce city codes to bring the house into compliance.
"The judgment might make it difficult for a buyer to get a loan for the property, which may make it less marketable. However, the city cannot directly prevent someone from purchasing the property," Chino Hills attorney Mark Hensley said.
The grassroots group Not in Chino Hills spokeswoman Rossana Mitchell is concerned Wu will be able to walk away from the home without facing any penalties. The group was critical of the house in late 2012 and early this year.
Not in Chino Hills members said the maternity hotel was taking advantage of the 14th Amendment, which says if a child is born in the United States he or she should receive a birth certificate and is therefore granted citizenship. The amendment does not mention children of illegal immigrants or children born to parents who are temporary visitors.
As natural citizens, the children will have rights such as voting, Social Security, the ability to apply to various schools that non-citizens might find difficult to qualify for and eventually petition for their parents to come to the United States.
"He can now sell it to a third party and never feel any pain for the violations he permitted," Mitchell said.
Hensley said the city has submitted the judgment to Chen, and she is obligated to provide it to any perspective purchaser.
"We have also submitted the judgment to be recorded against the property," he said. "If you check the property records it will show up when you review the title."
Moreover, Hensley said, if the property is sold, the new owner will be responsible for bringing the home up to code.
If Wu sells the home without disclosing what the buyer is getting involved with, he could be sued or in breach of the contract, said Kat Hegg, owner of Hegg Team Realty, Inc.
"The ticking time bomb is they have all these code violations ... and if this agent does not do the proper disclosure, she's in violation of California law and in danger of losing her license," Hegg said.
The home is currently vacant.
Calls to Wu's lawyer and multiple phone calls and emails to Chen were not returned.

New Song from Truth Troubadour, Vic Sadot -- 'Courage to Resist'
February 26, 2011
Courage To Resist, by Vic Sadot, is a tribute to GI Resistance and whistle-blowers in 2011. The title is taken from the name of the civilian organization called "Courage To Resist" that supports troops in service who become anti-war. The songwriter says "The song was inspired especially by Private Bradley Manning and Wikileaks for exposing the lies, war crimes, and cover-ups of the corporate empire".
The song has two verses about Bradley Manning, Wikileaks, and the release of a video showing US helicopter pilots joking about killing 11 unarmed Iraqi civilians. Two of the murdered civilians were Reuters reporters. Two small children were maimed in the bullet spraying. Nichol Mitchell was in Iraq when she became a conscientious objector and refused to serve in the occupation. Marc Hall had already served his enlistment time when the US Army ordered him to continue in combat operations in Iraq by using "stop loss" legislation that attempts to rescind the contract that an enlisted soldier made at the time of enlistment in order to force him or her to remain in military service. The Courage To Resist organization states, "According to the Pentagon, more than 120,000 soldiers have been affected by stop-loss since 2001". Hall wrote an angry hip hop song and posted it on the internet. The song made people all over the world aware of the little known and reported use of the "stop loss draft" to keep enlisted service men and women in the military beyond the time that they had agreed to serve in the military.

The School of Law's policies and procedures are designed to ensure fairness and consistency with our students. The law school community can find comprehensive information on any policy and procedure by accessing the School of Law's Student Handbook.
Below are just a few of the many topics covered in the Student Handbook.
Class attendance is a primary obligation of every student. The right to continued enrollment in the course and to take the examination is conditional upon a record of attendance that is satisfactory to the professor. A student who exceeds the maximum allowable absences may be compelled to withdraw from the course, or may be barred from sitting for the final exam. For more information about attendance, please see the Student Handbook .
Exams and Exam Deferrals
For more information about exams, please see the Student Handbook.
Blind ID Numbers: Students are expected to be prepared for regular exams in the School of Law. Each student is identified by a confidential exam number, which the student obtains through My UB before each exam period. Exam numbers are randomly generated and are assigned to the student for one semester. Students are given a different exam number each semester.
Exam Schedule: The exam schedule is available on the home page of the law school website under the "Current Students" tab.
Exam Conflicts and Emergencies: Students who have a conflict in their exam schedule may request a deferral by submitting an exam deferral request form. Deferrals are granted in accordance with the exam deferral policy. Emergency deferrals may be granted at the discretion of the Associate Dean.
In the Exam room: It is very important to arrive early in the designated exam room. You will need time to log into the exam software, sign the attendance sheet and get yourself settled. The proctor will begin exam instructions about 5-10 minutes before the designated start time so that the exam itself can start on time. The proctor will discuss any issues pertaining to computer usage, the School of Law's Honor Code, as well as what to do if problems arise during the exam.
Registration dates are set forth in the School of Law Calendar. Registration is administered by the Office of Academic Affairs in coordination with the Registrar of the University of Baltimore.
Students can obtain forms for employment certification, exam deferrals, appealing a grade, requesting a transcript, receiving a letter of good standing, and requesting an official recognition of a concentration by logging in to MyUB.
University-wide policies may be found here.
Please keep in mind that all academic, student and financial policies and regulations, as well as individual programs, courses, and standards are subject to change at any time during the year. Students are advised by way of this notice that such changes may affect their program requirements, degree status, tuition, fees and financial aid, and any other aspect of their enrollment at the University of Baltimore. The University notifies students of such changes through the University of Baltimore email system.
This website is not, therefore, to be considered a contract between the student and the University. Each student at the University of Baltimore is personally responsible for his or her academic progress, and all are urged to read carefully this document and all University academic publications and correspondence, and to consult regularly with appropriate University personnel for additional information.

The AIA named Tod Williams Billie Tsien Architects the 2013 winner of the Architecture Firm Award, the highest honor the association bestows on a firm each year.
The architects, who are married, have been working together for more than 30 years. When Williams, FAIA, hired Tsien, AIA, in 1977, it was her first job; the pair formed a partnership in 1986. "Within a very short period of time, I realized she was the best thing I could ever have," Williams told ARCHITECT in a studio visit last year.
Williams and Tsien were responsible for one of the highest-profile—and most controversial—projects of the year: the Barnes Foundation, which moved its galleries from their original home in Merion, Penn., to Philadelphia's museum row. Williams and Tsien were chosen for the commission by a search committee spearheaded by Pritzker Architecture Prize executive director Martha Thorne. The commission did not come without strings attached: The museum's trustees had stipulated that the new galleries had to "replicate the scale, proportion, and configuration" of the old ones. In the face of harsh criticism, both public and private, the architects embraced the restrictions imposed by the commission and designed a building dubbed "absolutely wonderful" by Vanity Fair's Paul Goldberger, who also described Williams and Tsien as "architects of extraordinary subtlety."
The Barnes was not the only arts project that the firm completed this year. The Reva and David Logan Center for the Arts at the University of Chicago, the firm's first project in the Windy City, references the city's skyline as well as its setting on the Great Plains. In 2003, Tod Williams Billie Tsien Architects' celebrated design for the American Folk Art Museum, a highly textured and idiosyncratic building completed in 2001, was awarded an AIA Honor Award. (The nearby Museum of Modern Art acquired the Williams and Tsien–designed building last year, prompting fears that it may be razed.)
The firm won another AIA Honor Award in 2012 for its work in transforming the Lincoln Center's visitor entryway into the David Rubenstein Atrium, a project that Lincoln Center president Reynold Levy says "reflects a respect for the materials used throughout the center." And Williams and Tsien won accolades for their part in curating the Arsenale exhibition for "Common Ground" at the 2012 Venice Architecture Biennale.
"Their work carries with it a spiritual value which transcends pragmatic solutions," says Toshiko Mori, FAIA, in a recommendation letter for Williams and Tsien. "Their projects respond to multiple and complex needs of clients, yet their solutions are simple and elegant. Their firm's work brings forth the ideals of Modernism, yet is moderated with a contemporary sensibility and intelligence which makes their work rich, tactile, and useful."
The firm has maintained its studio in Central Park since 1981. Despite their ambitious portfolio, Williams and Tsien say that they are not seeking larger projects, but instead want to maintain the studio's current size (about 30 employees) and familial culture.
"Architecture in any studio is a long life, and a long day, and a lot of work," Tsien said last July. "We recognize that and appreciate it."
Past recipients of the AIA's Architecture Firm Award have included Perkins+Will, Lake|Flato Architects, BNIM, and VJAA, who was last year's recipient. Tod Williams Billie Tsien Architects will be honored at the 2013 AIA National Convention in Denver next June.

What if?
Feb 16, 2011
What if, instead of giving people who want to work a little bit of money, and making them jump through all sorts of hoops to prove that they're really looking for work, you just gave them a job? What if you gave employers who want to expand, but don't have the cash flow to justify a new hire, a subsidy to let them bring on new employees? What if you encouraged them to give workers they might not otherwise hire - someone who didn't go to college, or someone who once went to jail -- a chance to prove they could do the job?
Last year, 39 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and eight Tribal TANF programs received approval to use $1.3 billion from the TANF Emergency Fund to do just that. These programs placed more than 260,000 low-income parents and youth in paid jobs during a time of high unemployment. In a new report, CLASP and CBPP examine the subsidized jobs programs that were created or expanded under the Emergency Fund, and the lessons learned.
In a short period of time, programs funded by the TANF Emergency Fund placed a substantial number of people in subsidized jobs. These programs proved that that unemployed individuals - receiving TANF or not - will seize the opportunity to work when provided with a paying job. Moreover, the programs demonstrated the feasibility of creating cost-effective, publicly funded jobs in the private and public sectors on a large scale during a downturn.
While funding from the Emergency Fund expired on September 30, 2010, the need for jobs remains. Although most states were unable to sustain their subsidized employment programs at their previous levels after the fund expired, many states are attempting to maintain scaled-down versions of them. Federal policymakers should also build on the lessons of the TANF Emergency Fund as they reauthorize both TANF and workforce investment act programs.

Not sure if you're using the KDE or Gnome version, but for KDE I was able to fix it this way just a few minutes ago:
- There's a ying yang symbol on the right-side: click that.
- When the panel opens up, click "more settings" on the right-side.
- When the next panel opens up, click "maximize panel."
I rebooted after doing this and the setting saved through the reboot; so it's not something you should have to do each time you boot it up.

True, high school football season is pretty much over for this year, but it's never too early to start planning for next year. One item that every school needs to keep fans comfy and cozy while they cheer the team on is imprinted stadium seats, which are designed to cushion the backside with thick, durable foam while helping fans show off their school spirit with a personalized team logo. We have tons of options in personalized stadium seats; in fact, they are totally customizable. After all, you have to have custom stadium seats in order for the team to be properly promoted.
Of course, you don't have to limit promotional stadium seats to just football. If your school has a baseball team, tennis team or swim team, then now is the perfect time to order a whole bunch just in time for spring. And what about soccer leagues? No matter the age of the players, parents love to carry around gear that sports the name of their kids' teams. In fact, soccer moms are notorious for it!
Imprinted stadium seats are a great way to say thank you to the parents who have supported your team or league for the past season. They are especially perfect for all-star teams, since making the all-star team is something that can only happen with good family support. Remember, these are the same parents who will be painting their cars with numbers and names throughout the entire all-star season – so custom stadium seats are easily something for them to go gaga over. Many times, leagues and coaches mark them up and sell them as a fundraiser. Why not?
So many personalized stadium seats…so little time before the next season! Ordering them now just makes sense.

Question Mark Shadow guy rules! I always wanted a figure of him.
Those are awesome as usual!
It has been a looong time!
But since some other things are back to normal, why not reposting here some of the stuff I started posting on my facebook account?
Some time ago I promised I would have posted some ideas about how to create more reusable body types for MOTUC figures and show how to make a good use of them.
Just to explain better how the concept behind a line like MOTUC works, where a bank of tooling is created to work as a basis for figures, makign the line economically doable.
I sketched two new body types.
The first is a squat body.
Instead of creating a new sculpt for Ram-Man that is unique only to him, Rammy could be developed as the first figure using this new Squat Body type.
Eventually other characters could reuse it, and here is an example with General Tataran.
The other body type is the Teen/Slim type.
In the following weeks I'll post examples of figure that could use that too
Since other asked previously: this isn't work done for Mattel or the Four Horsemen, it's just fan art that I do between real toy design jobs for Hasbro.

Those are awesome as usual!
Beautiful art Emiliano, these new bodies should assure us a LOAD of new characters
Love it! Great concepts Em.
Hope you dont mind but I just cant resist doing the card back version of Ram Man

Good job!
I love these designs, Emiliano!

Doesn't Leech use a new "squat" body buck?
So you're thinking that the arms and legs would have to be redone in a "beefier" style, too?
I was under the impression that it was softer armor, like King Hiss, covering a new bulkier buck that could be used with other figures.
Man, that is freaking impressive. I love model drawings for toys like this. I've got to find more of your work!
Awesome idea on the squat buck, by the way!
Love the design!! But I think I like the recolor of it even more

It's neat to see stuff like this, but I'm hoping that for his MOTUC figure they design him so he looks more like his original mini-comic representation, because I really hate the Filmation design (especially the face) and characterization of him. But as far as an example of what a classic cartoon-inspired MOTUC Ram Man figure could look like, it's very spot-on!
That picture of the Ram-Man figure is awsome!
i really missed the motuc visions: nice stuff!
did you work out a teen female buck also?
I love those designs! Superb! Admittedly would i like my Ram Man come a little less Filmation and a little bit more Minicomic. Nevertheless he looks awesome !
You are a God!
I can see Ahgo King of Trolls on Etheria also using that thicker buck. Too bad they've done Leech already, he could have used it too.
The teenager is perfect for 200X Adam, Stanlan, Prince Dal, Prince Leon (admittedly aging him up a big), and possibly new characters too. You could probably use it to get some withered old guys like Vormus and Master Sebrian as well, right?
Pure AWESOME!
"Teen" body type could be used for king Miro.
Sometimes you gotta dance with the Devil, but when you do, don't let him lead.
The "teen" body could probably also be used for Lizard Man.
"Yep! And now I'm gonna blast ya!"

awesome visions , i want tataran in motuc after that.
squat male body also could be for chef allen ,don't laugh
Very nice designs.
They could also do Modulok. Please say you also drawn him already.
I love it!
I love an all inclusive canon!

What is the exact kernel panic error message?
It's a long story but it goes something like this. I got BT3 installed on my HDD and there's no sound. A bunch of searching said to update the kernel and I worked on that. I never compiled a kernel before, but I didn't think it would be too hard. Looking at numerous guides it seemed pretty simple. There was only 1 small issue. I couldn't seem to find the previous config of BT on the HDD. There's no /usr/src/linux directory here. So I downloaded the kernel sources from BT Wiki and used the config from there. I proceeded as normal and edited Lilo to use the new kernel (126.96.36.199) and the old as a backup.
Problem: Kernel panic because could not mount. Detected partitions are recognized as HDA1 and HDA2, but the BT Live CD and HDD see it as SDA. Searching around suggests that I'm using the old device support (Legacy?) and need to enable Libata so it can change from hda > sda.
I tried enabling and disabling Legacy in the kernel, and I can't find Libata in it. Is the config just elsewhere on BT Live CD/HDD that I don't know of? I don't necessarily need this fixed, I just want sound enabled but nothing works (Installed latest ALSA). I think I want to solve this first so I know better when recompiling next time. Where to start?
BTW, I can't ask Lilo to run if any of the /dev/ are hda. I can append "root=/dev/hdax" but that failed as well.
What is the exact kernel panic error message?
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on block device (x,x)
Then it says "Available partitions are hda1 and hda2."
ok typically "Unable to mount root fs on block device (x,y)" x=device number and y=partition number. I'm not sure exactly how much this will help you, but it could possible help you find out where exactly this is happening.
Above you had said you appended "root = etc...." and it did not work. Since you have not been able to boot in did you do this at the lilo screen, i.e. backtrack root=whatever? If you did it in the lilo.conf file when you changed the kernel source, did it throw any error when you ran lilo?
I had a similar kernel panic but my the situation it occured in was fairly different. I was installing to a sdhc card and i received "Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block (x,y)". The problem for me was that there was not enough time given to detect the device. I'm not entirely confident that my solution will help you but its worth trying. in my lilo.conf file the root section appeared as
root = current
and i did not change that but I had to add
to give it more time to detect the device.
Sorry I can't help with the config location, but I would definately be interested to hear where it is if you find out. Good luck!
I posted a more detailed post here:
Also I fixed it!
Followed this: /danielroberts.org/doc/toshibalinux.html
I can't say which option for sure worked, but I know one of them did. ^^;; Thank you for helping!
Hi Dark Ragnarok,
Your post that included the link to danielroberts.org/doc/toshibalinux.html did the trick for me. I also got a kernel panic when I upgraded to the 184.108.40.206 kernel. I'm not 100% sure but I think if the kernel is recompiled to a new version then the kernel is looking for hda instead of sda which would mean that it is looking for an ide device instead of a sata device. This also solved my problem with my Dual layer DVD drive not having DMA turned on.
I didn't really need to recompile a new kernel but I've seen posts about the new iwl3945 drivers that can put your wireless card into monitor mode. It seems to have worked.

Brevard, N.C. - Kramer Clark had a pair of RBIs to complement a three-hit game by Zack Merriken and the Tornados loaded the bases in the bottom of the ninth, but it was not enough to offset a five-run fifth inning by visiting King College as Brevard fell at Gil Coan Field, 6-4.
Michael Bradley (0-2) took the loss for the Tornados (12-23), shaking off the five run outburst to pitch six solid innings for Brevard, striking out three. Danny LaPerna (3-3) also went six innings, allowing three unearned runs in his third win of the season. Dustin Pannell closed out the game for King (18-12) for his fifth save.
King opened up the game with a run in the top of the first. C.J. Stabler singled down the left field line with one out to advance Shane Timberlake to second and following Steven Mueller's flyout, Timberlake came around to score on Josh Huffman's double down the left field line.
In the third inning, Bradley retired the first two batters on groundouts before Mueller reached on a single through the left side. Huffman followed with a home run over the left field fence, landing on the batting cages behind the BC bullpen to put the score at 3-1. Doug Freeman followed with another base hit, before Garrett Cook lifted a ball up into the air, settling over the left centerfield fence for two more runs to give King a 5-1 advantage. Heath Williams concluded the scoring by following Cook's blast with one of his own, clearing the left field fence to add another run to the total.
Brevard and King would trade scoreless innings until the bottom of the sixth when the Tornados put their first run on the board. Merriken's one-out single gave the Tornados runners on first and second before Clark drove a hard grounder through the right side of the infield. The ball went through the King right fielder and back to the warning track, allowing both Randy O'Dell and Merriken to score, while Clark ended up on third, cutting into the lead and putting the score at 6-2. Clark would touch home in the next at-bat as Brett Brinson lifted a deep fly ball to straightaway centerfield, allowing Clark to score without a throw.
Kevin Hamilton, Jacob Koontz and Dustin Haithcox all pitched scoreless innings in relief of Bradley, setting the stage for the final Brevard at-bat in the bottom of the ninth.
Steele Myers greeted King closer Pannell with an infield single to lead off the inning and Christian Christopoulos and Zak Beard drew back-to-back walks to load the bases for the top of the BC lineup with none out. However, Pannell recovered to retire the next two BC batters on strikes. O'Dell coaxed a walk out of Pannell to bring home Myers, putting Brevard within two, but Merriken fouled out to end the game as Brevard fell to visiting King College, 6-4.
The Tornados remain home for their final South Atlantic Conference weekend as they host Lincoln Memorial University on Friday, April 8th. April 8th is "Quilt The Hill" day for the Brevard College baseball team as the Tornados invite all student, fans and supporters to come out and cheer on Brevard as they take on the visiting Railsplitters. First pitch for the nine-inning contest is set for 3 p.m.

NFL Draft > 2010 Prospects > CB > Joe Haden
Joe Haden Scouting Report

2010 NFL Draft Prospect Scouting Report:
Joe Haden, CB, Florida
Haden perhaps did not get as much recognition as he deserves as part of a Florida Gator team that has been loaded with stars ever since he stepped on campus in 2007. That said, Haden was a major contributor to the Gators' 2008 National Championship run and he really made a name for himself in 2009. The cornerback started all 14 games last season (just as he did as a sophomore) and he finished tied for third on the team with 68 total tackles (including five for loss). Haden also led Florida with four interceptions, forced two fumbles, had three sacks, and broke up 10 passes. Thus it came as no surprise that Haden joined the mass exodus out of Gainesville and put his name in the upcoming NFL Draft. Although he left after three seasons, Haden still has plenty of experience. He even started 12 games as a freshman, missing one game (Florida State) due to a minor ankle injury. Haden's offseason got a whole lot better after a poor start. He underwhelmed at the NFL combine with a disappointing time in the 40-yard-dash, but he rebounded at Florida's pro day in mid-March. Haden ran a 4.39 in the 40 to all but clinch a spot in the Top 10 of the draft. With that kind of speed, Haden appears to have all the makings of a shutdown corner at the next level. The only minor--very minor--drawback regarding Haden is that he does not have ideal size at 5'11' and 190 pounds. Still, those measurements are more than adequate (especially since he makes up for it with speed and physical fearlessness). In the wake of his pro day, Haden will be the first cornerback off the board in April's draft and he could go as high as No. 6 or 7.

Prediction: 1st Round
i think Joe Haden is going to be a very good corner in the NFL......but shut down?? Deon was shut down, Champ Bailey was shut down for 3 seasons in his prime, derrell Revis is now a shut down. Shut down is getting thrown around a little too loosley for a guy that hasnt played against Peyton Manning or Tom Brady or Matt Schaub or Phillip Rivers just to name a few.....so for now lets just say he might end up being pretty good one day. Shut Down is Hall Of Fame type talk so lets chill on that because were disrespecting Daryl Green and Deion Sanders!!! I wish Joe Haden good luck and notice he doesnt call himself a shut down corner!!

Tornados drop first home game of the season, 28-13October 17, 2009
Church finds the end zone twice in the loss
Brevard, N.C. - Derek Church found the end zone twice for the Tornados and the defense held the NCAA's leading rusher to a mere 59 yards on 18 carries, but Mars Hill's quarterbacking duo combined for 258 yards and three touchdowns as the Lions broke the Tornados three-game home winning streak, 28-13.
Brevard (6-2, 2-2 SAC) battled both the muddy field conditions and the Mars Hill defense as the Tornados were held under the 100 yard rushing mark for the first time this season, as the Lions held the duo of Neville Bryce and Michael Crumbaker to 45 yards on the ground.
Matthew Gaines was able to find some success through the passing game for the Tornados, connecting with Shaton Pratt for a 36-yard gain late in the fourth quarter, setting up Brevard's second score of the evening, finishing 4-11 for 65 yards. Eric Watts was the Tornados leading receiver for the evening, with two catches for 20 yards.
On the defensive side of the ball, Preseason All-SAC linebacker Stanley Jones led all tacklers with 15 stops and the Tornados were able to extend their sack and interception streaks to 10 games as the Salonik Amos picked off a pass late in the second quarter and Justin Jefferson and Richard Ray combined for a sack in the third quarter.
Mars Hill (5-2, 3-1 SAC) came into the game led by Jonas Randolph, the NCAA's leading rusher at 187.0 yards per game, but the Tornados SAC-leading rushing defense held the sophomore to 59 yards, an average of 3.3 per carry.
Most of the damage the Lions did throughout the game came in the air, as Jon Richt was 8-12 for 146 yards and a touchdown, while Luis Cruz finished the game 8-16 for 112 yards and a pair of scoring tosses to go with the interception. Josh Johnson was the team's leading target, with six catches for 52 yards and a score, while Travis Prince turned both of his receptions for 146 yards, including a 90-yard touchdown reception on the Lions opening possession of the game.
The Tornados opened the game with the ball, but the Mars Hill defense stood strong, forcing a three-and-out. Reigning SAC Special Teams Player of the Week, Watts booted a 55-yard punt down to the Mars Hill 10, pinning the visiting team deep in their own territory for their opening possession.
Off a play-action fake, Richt stepped up into the pocket and delivered a strike to Prince who slipped behind the Tornados secondary and out-raced the Brevard defenders the rest of the way to the end zone to give the guests the 7-0 lead 1:34 into the game.
Brevard wasted no time coming back and putting points of their own up on the board as the Tornados churned out 63 yards on 12 plays, with Church rumbling in from 10 yards out as the Brevard tied the game up at 7 with 6:12 remaining in the opening period.
The Lions would strike on their second possession in the second quarter, breaking the tie as Cruz found Allen Woerner in the back of the end zone to cap off an 83-yard drive in 3:52 and Michael Pinkerton's extra point put the game at 14-7 with 4:03 remaining in the half.
The Tornados were forced to another three-and-out on the following possession, with mars Hill taking over on the Lions 38-yard line. On third down, Cruz attempted to put the game away early, launching a bomb down the left hash, but Amos, making a great read on the play, picked off the ball and slipped to the ground at the BC 21-yard line.
The joy for the Tornados was short-lived as Bryce, carrying the ball up the middle, had it slip out of his hands down to the turf where it was recovered by Mars Hill's Mazarius Samon at the Brevard 19, and two plays later Cruz found Josh Johnson up the middle for 13-yards and score to put the Lions up 21-7.
The score would remain the same through halftime and through most of the third quarter before the Lions put together a drive with time running out in the period, capped off by Garrison McDowell's one-yard plunge to take a commanding 28-7 lead with 15 to play.
The Tornados mounted a comeback in the fourth quarter as Gaines found a streaking Shaton Pratt on fourth-and-seven at the Mars Hill 37-yard line for a 36-yard pick-up at the goal line, where Church bulldozed his way through the pile for his second score of the evening.
A muffed hold on the extra point kept the score at 28-13.
The Tornados had possession one more time in the contest, but Brevard was unable to convert on fourth-down as the stretch by Cory Pertz on fourth-and-nine came up just short and the Lions were able to run out the clock to seal the victory, 28-13.
Brevard takes the road next weekend as they travel to Jefferson City to take on SAC leader Carson-Newman College, with kickoff scheduled for 1 p.m., while Mars Hill returns home to host Lenoir-Rhyne for a 2:30 kickoff.

Scraps of Darkness unveiled it's September Kit-My Guy on the 15th, and I was so excited to get mine and get to work with it!! The papers were perfect to create the following layout of "My Guy" Draven , when he was about 6 years old. He was playing in his Dad's car and pretending he was driving, and my husband snapped this cute photo of him smiling like he had just been told he could start driving-lol! I couldn't resist adding the fun little mustache to his photo, and showing the fun side of scrapping.
I used the all inspiring sketch by Sue Pup to create this layout. It was masculine perfection! Thank you Charlotte!

Re: Best and Worst Interactions with NFL Players?
I met Flacco at camp. It was his second one and I tried to get an autograph but he wouldn't give it to adult males - only kids and females. I said come on Joe, I'm honoring your name on a message board and spend over $100 pr game to watch you play and he didn't even look at me, just kept signing for the little kids. I didn't have any but the fathers got their kids to get his autograph.
Man, I was pissed. I was close enough to whack Joe in the side of the head and give him a concussion and knock him out for the season and go to prison and be the most hated man in Baltimore-lol.
My brother had an experience with him too. He sells Apple computers in Christiana Mall which is next door to U of Delaware. Joe obviously hangs out up there and walked into
the store to buy a computer. The sales staff tripped over themselves to wait on Joe who
seemed a little arrogant to my brother. He just laughed and said JOe had a real attitude.
Meanwhile, the same day Joe refused to sign, Ray signed my #52 which is hanging in
my man cave and my Super Bowl 35 hat and so did Ed Reed.
I also met Billick at camp years ago. It was an hour after everyone left and I was walking
on the practice field taking pics and someone yelled, hey, get off that field. I looked around
and it was Billick-lol.
I said sorry coach as SAFE ran over to escort me out of the place but I said how about a pic with me coach and he said sure. The safe guy took it. A couple of years later I took it to the Roosts bull roast where I sat with Admin Greg, Fanatic and Mista T of this board. Billick was one of the guests but Steve Schlossberg told me he wasn't coming.
Bisciotti asked him to go to a Terps basketball game with him and sent his limo. Billick left
2,000 people stranded and he was roundly booed by all the Skins fans down there.
He got what he deserved for leaving us stranded. He didn't even tell anyone he wasn't coming but that pic is hanging in my cave anyway.

Re: Best and Worst Interactions with NFL Players?
That's a great story and here's the history behind Arty's liquor stores. He had no idea
what he was gonna do when he retired. Like he told Letterman, I went to college to play
football, not get an education. He had no education or experience at all but he had a fan
whom he didn't even know who loved him and left him those stores when he died.
One was on Rt 40 I think and the other was across town. Art managed one and his wife
managed the other. They were successful his wife sold them and bought the Maryland Country Club on Stevenson Lane in Towson. They still own it. Once Arty fell in the
swimming pool while it was empty when he was trying to clean it and it took the entire fire dept to pull him out. True.

Re: Best and Worst Interactions with NFL Players?
Yea, a lot of players don't like to sign. McNair wouldn't sign for us either. There were a bunch of fans behind the bench yelling Steve, Steve and he just waved and walked by. Some players think every adult male is gonna sell their autograph and some actually do and might get $25 or more.
Matte was the coolest former Colt I ever met. He was at the Ravens draft day party they used to have at the stadium broadcasting the draft with Tom Davis, another cool dude. After everyone left I talked to him and he let me try on his SB ring. It was like a monument to the hand and not even as big as the Ravens ring which I also tried on and that was after I asked him if SB 3 was fixed. Matte said yea, and Bubba fixed it. He hated Bubba after he wrote a book that the game was fixed and Bubba wasn't invited to the 25th anniversary party of the game and people think Pollard has an attitude-lol. Bubba just died in his late 60s.
Nest 1 always had tons of Ravens drop in to speak. The used to come for free and then they got greedy and we had to pay them $300 even though we raised over $100,000 for charity in their name. DeCosta came every year a week after the draft. We're only allowed one question each but I got about 20 questions in one sentence. The president said TRap,
you covered the entire draft and get more info than anyone in the club. Now we know that
Ozzie had no intention of drafting weapons for Flacco. He wanted Oher. He's my favorite player.
Jeff Mitchell came to one of our parties after SB 35 and I said you guys have it easy. You can use your hands. When I played we couldn't on the line. He said yea, I know and he held up his fists and mimicked blocking with the fore arms. I told him my coach gave us marbles to hold in practice and if he saw any on the ground it meant we were holding and he laughed. Several years later Mitchell got called out for steroids use with the Panthers.
We didn't have them back in the 60s either-lol.
Speaking of Tom Davis, he used to hang out with us at Wurlitzers in Hunt Valley during the 90s. It was the yuppiest place in town. Guys used to dress up then in 3-piece business suits and gals actually wore dresses. I wasn't one but walked the walk and talked the talk and my Vette got me a lot of dates. He had the best looking blonde in the place too and he was flashing $100 bills around the bar. He does the Orioles shows for ComCast now.
The day I talked to Matte, I said Tom, you used to hang out at Wurlitzers and you had the hottest blonde in the place. All I want to know is, do you still have the blonde and he said yea. He looked at Matte and laughed his ass off.
King Singleton used to come in there too after he retired and he was really cool to talk to.
He was broadcasting games then and said baseball looks a lot slower up here folks. LOL

Re: Best and Worst Interactions with NFL Players?
Yes that was always true. It was during the Heap draft and I had my nephews at the draft day party at the stadium and Jordan who was 8 got Ray's autograph. He gave him a paper for me and a man behind him hit him and pushed him down. Ray saw it and walked away from everyone. I would have killed him if I saw it.
But Ray and Reed always signed. They stood out in the blistering heat that day signing when Joe wouldn't and Reed love to hold babies and have his pic taken with them. Heap always signed as did Jamal.
I was about to get Jamal's autograph when SAGE walked up with a TV camera and mike to interview him and I said come on Sage, we're trying to get his autograph. I got his on my SB 35 hat.
I got both the winning and losing coach's signatures on the hat which is also in my cave. Also got Ozzie's when he walked by me before practice started. After Faisel arrived he left practice and walked up the steps by the gym where I always sat and he signed the hat.
I said coach, when are you going to get Boller to stop telegraphing his throws. He said what makes you think he's doing that. I said he stares down the receiver. Every fan in town knows that. That was the day after Reed intercepted 2 passes in practice and Reed said he just followed the QB, ie, his eyes.
So Faisel said well he's not telegraphing his throws and left but I couldn't understand why he left practice when his unit went into the gym to eat. He must have been trying to line up his next coaching job because Billick fired him like HARBs fired CAM.
Anyway, Im watching Comcast the next night and Faisel and Boller were wired and Faisel said today we're gonna get you to stop telegraphing your throws.
It's pretty bad when a fan describes in detail how you're telegraphing.
What do you think the defenses are doing?
ILMAO - He was talking about me.
Faisel was a cool dude though. I know some fans who flew out to a game in Indy and
were waiting for a cab. Faisel stood near them waiting for a limo and he saw them
staring at him. When the limo arrive he yelled jump in and I'll give you a lift and he
took them to their hotels.
When he coached NY during 911 he adopted the kids of a firemen who died in the
building. He had 9 kids and Faisel said he would always pay for all their expenses
for the rest of their lives including their college tuitions.
Hell of a nice guy.

Journal of Environmental Protection,
Vol.5 No.7,
This study
suggested environmental and economic evaluations by developing a scenario
according to the various treatment options of food waste in Korea. In
particular, the study evaluated the possibility about the combined treatment of
food waste and human excrement after using food waste disposers (FWDs). The
scenario including only composting (133 kg CO2 equiv./ton-household
organic waste) or only FWDs (125 kg CO2 equiv./ton-household organic
waste) was superior to the other scenarios in the environmental aspect and the
scenario including only composting (101 USD/ton-household organic waste) was
superior to the other scenarios in the economic aspect. However, the study
discovered that 52% of greenhouse gas emission was reduced when sewage
pretreatment was conducted in houses after using FWDs and also when biogas was
collected on site and utilized in the private power station. Furthermore, the
energy saving effect due to recovery of biogas has found to be larger in the
environment aspect than in the economic aspect.

DARRYL JONESAffiliation:
Jones Star Entertainment
Artist's BiographyDarryl Evan Jones instrument of choice is the flute; an elegant, versatile instrument that richly expresses his unique style described simply as Instrumental Soul. Darryl boldly brings this otherwise delicate, passive instrument into a genre normally dominated by saxophonists. His passion and emotion are readily apparent to all who hear him. Shattering expectations and pre-conceived notions of what he and his flute should sound like, audiences find themselves overtaken by the sheer beauty of his musical expression.
A native of the South Bronx, Darryls parents encouraged his early interest in music as a means to counteract the lure of the streets. Darryl was first introduced to the flute when he was only eight years old. He was soon enrolled in private lessons at a very prestigious lower Manhattan school. His father removed him from the school almost as quickly as he enrolled him, after being told he was wasting his money. The instructors insisted Darryl was too small and would never learn to play the flute. Soon, he was enrolled at another school, and continued his technical training. As Darryls musical interests grew, he was introduced to many different genres, beginning with Classical music. He became a featured member of the Park-wide band in the Northeast Bronx Education Park, as well as the Bronx Borough-wide Band. These experiences afforded Darryl the honor of performing with the finest young musicians in the Bronx at a concert in Carnegie Hall. Though he was a fluent reader and writer of music, Darryl was mostly known for the intense passion he was able to express. Even people who wouldnt normally listen to instrumental music, found themselves intoxicated with his sound. Music is as much a part of Darryl as breathing. With the exception of a hiatus while pursuing interests in semi-pro football and amateur bodybuilding, Darryl continued to expand his musical mind in his early teens and twenties. He found himself discovering and respecting the nuances and challenges presented by Gospel, Blues, and Funk; while mastering the flute. As time passed, Darryl continued to immerse himself in music, becoming a member of different R&B bands throughout the Northeast. Demand for his instrumental soul continues to increase, as more audiences are afforded the opportunity to experience his beautiful sound.
Darryl Evan Jones musical journey has included note-worthy performances as the opening act for Boney James, Kindred, and Kem, as well as venues like the Cannon Center in Memphis TN, the Capital Jazz Festival, and the Philadelphia Clef Club of Jazz and Performing Arts. Along the way, hes performed in coffee houses, churches, theaters, and festivals. One of Darryls most memorable moments is when he took his flute along with him, as he attended a Jeffrey Osborne concert, in Providence, Rhode Island. As is customary at these concerts, Mr. Osborne went into the crowd during a performance of You Should Be Mine, seeking audience members to sing along. Recognizing the opportunity to share his talent, Darryl assembled his flute, and walked down the aisle to the R&B crooner - to the surprise of everyone in attendance. Given an impromptu solo, Darryl quickly brought the crowd to a fevered pitch, and even had them chanting his name when he was done with his musical interlude. Not only was his display appreciated by ticket holders, but to Al Jarreau, and the late Grover Washington, Jr. as well.
Darryls finest work to date is a CD titled Dream, a textured and soulful compilation of original and original versions of popular songs. Of fourteen tracks, all but two are original works. Dream is my opportunity to share my musical soul; to demonstrate my love for a myriad of musical styles, explains Darryl. My inspiration for the CD comes from the courage it takes to actually have the audacity to realize your dream. I walked away from one career (commercial aircraft mechanic), to achieve my dream in music.
Says legendary jazz pianist Bob James about Dream, I enjoyed listening to your tracksall I can say is keep doin your thing!
What sets Darryl Evan Jones apart as a musician is that he doesnt just play his instrument. He sings with the flute, sharing a full range of emotions that fluidly connect with his audience. Ironically, when asked about musical influences, you wont get the typical names like Hubert Laws, Jean-Pierre Rampal, etc. Though Darryl was very aware of these flute masters, he never studied them. Instead, he was mostly influenced by Soul and Gospel singers, and spent most of his leisure musical time listening everything from Earth, Wind & Fire, to Chuck Mangione, to Neil Diamond. Darryl often draws parallels between his playing style and the singing styles of such greats as Marvin Gaye, Aretha Franklin, and Ron Isley.
Darryl continues to quickly build an impressive fan base, transcending age, gender, and ethnic barriers.
Want jazz? Hes got that. Need some soul? Of course! Craving ballads? Oh how sweet the sound. Darryl Evan Jones, the superman of Instrumental Soul has come to rescue you from the doldrums of boring music.

T.I. praises Trayvon Martin's family for being 'level-headed'
Rapper T.I. is the latest artist to speak out about the controversial acquittal of the man who shot and killed Florida teen Trayvon Martin.
In a recent radio interview, he says that the verdict is "just another harsh reminder of the world that we live in." The rapper also praised Trayvon Martin's family for keeping their cool. T.I. says if he were in their shoes he would have taken matters into his own hands, adding that he'd "have been on trial" instead of Zimmerman. He says members of the Martin family are "much more clear and level-headed thinkers" than himself.
T.I. is currently on the road as part of Lil Wayne's "America's Most Wanted Music Festival." In the coming days, the traveling music fest is set to make stops in Washington D.C., Saratoga Springs, and Boston.

Committee Opinion Number 550, January 2013
(Reaffirmed 2016)
ABSTRACT: Myelomeningocele, the most severe form of spina bifida, occurs in approximately 1 in 1,500 births in the United States. Fetuses in whom myelomeningocele is diagnosed typically are delivered at term and are treated in the early neonatal period. A recent randomized controlled trial found that fetal surgery for myelomeningocele improved a number of important outcomes, but also was associated with maternal and fetal risks. Maternal–fetal surgery is a major procedure for the woman and her fetus, and it has significant implications and complications that occur acutely, postoperatively, fo...

Resolution submitted to the Manoa Faculty Senate
by the Committee on Administration and Budget
Regarding the Restoration of Restricted Funds
WHEREAS decisions regarding budgetary allocations among units--between the System and campuses, among campuses, and within each campus--require an orderly process of consultative deliberation, under conditions of maximum transparency, and
WHEREAS there often are externally imposed restrictions on budgets, such as those imposed by the Governor, and
WHEREAS any restoration of such externally imposed restrictions should not be treated as an occasion to subvert the orderly consultative processes required by policy in budgetary matters,
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that if the University's budget is subject to externally imposed restrictions, and these restrictions are passed on to units, and if restrictions are removed, then the funds released must be restored to units as they were before the restriction.
All proposals for reallocations of funds, based on changing budgetary circumstances, must be made publicly, with ample opportunity for discussion, including discussion with the appropriate campus faculty organizations of the affected campuses, at UH Manoa with the Manoa Faculty Senate.
passed at 11/19/03 Senate
