He still has veto power and can smack down the commission: Last week's cover story on why the mayor's race is not important ("Mayor X," August 19) hit a huge nerve in our community, particularly because we are working so hard to get Jimmy Morales elected. I was disturbed when I read it. How could you judge the success of an office after only one mayor has held the position? You sugarcoated the story by trying to make your readers believe the mayor has no power. Well, it just isn't so.
The most important power the mayor has is the veto power over commission legislation. Without that power of the veto, some of us might be stuck without a human-rights ordinance. In a county where voter fraud and voter disenfranchisement are rampant, how could you dare come out just two weeks before the election and tell us it's all a waste of time?
It is precisely the mayor's race that I care about the most, not only because I'm a lesbian and my own human rights could be at stake if someone other than Jimmy Morales is elected, but also because this county is in real trouble. Without Jimmy at the helm, I'm afraid things could get worse.

Even conservative Republicans can be persuaded by a liberal free weekly: Although I read New Times regularly (about twice a month), as a conservative Republican I can't say I always agree with the liberal slant of most of your stories. However, I also believe in fairness, and regardless of my opinion of previous articles, your collection of stories about the upcoming county mayoral race ("Mayor X," August 19) has to be one of the best, and certainly the most accurate, analyses of a political race I have ever read.
You guys hit the nail right on the head. Each one of the five reasons for the irrelevance of the county mayor made perfect sense. And I agree with you that there is no difference of any substance among the five leading candidates.
My hat is off to you. Good job.

How did racist mumbo jumbo make it into a story about the mayor's race? Regarding Kirk Nielsen's contribution to "Mayor X" ("They're All White Guys"), I am disturbed that your paper has become a forum for pseudoscientific, patently racist mumbo jumbo as to "who is white." Worse still, it was written by someone who is horribly underqualified to go into the subject. One can picture Nielsen with our mayoral candidates, caliper and skin-color guide in hand.
I will leave it to experts rather than wade into "Dr." Nielsen's little treatise on eugenics. Two of our mayoral candidates are all or part Puerto Rican. Recent genetic research by Dr. Juan Martinez Cruzado at the University of Puerto Rico found that virtually the entire population has a significant amount of Native American (Taino) antecedents, and that virtually everyone on the island is of mixed race.
Two down, three to go.
Cuba has a long history of racial intermarriage, dating from the beginning of the colonial period. The Iberian settlers themselves were a mixture of Latin, Moorish, and Gallic ancestors. Many Cubans cite this as the reason for the alleged historical lack of U.S. forms of racism in Cuba. There is a saying in Cuba: Aquì todos somos café con leche; unos m·s café, otros m·s leche (Here we are coffee and milk; some more coffee, others more milk).
Finally, as FIU's Dr. Marty Tracey pointed out, race is a social construction. In the United States, Cubans along with other Latinos will continue to be a race apart, most often defined as people of color. In Miami, which is only technically part of the U.S., Latinos will continue to view an inclusive definition of "white" (read privileged) that includes everyone with a Spanish surname who could not be forgivably confused for Congolese.
Most "Anglos" continue to view us as "other." We appreciate Kirk Nielsen for accepting our particular Latin racial (social) constructions, thus not giving us offense as so many of you gringos do.

Owing to a reporting error in Francisco Alvarado's "Mayor X" article ("They're All Financed by the Same Elite and Hire the Same Political Operatives"), the wife of county commissioner and mayoral candidate Jimmy Morales was incorrectly identified as a sitting judge. Dori Foster-Morales is an attorney with the firm Elser Foster-Morales Kopco but has never been a judge. New Times regrets the error.
Also in the "Mayor X" report, staff photographer Jonathan Postal should have been given credit for the photo illustrations of mayoral candidates' heads floating inside specimen jars.
Fidel Is Waiting for November 3
At which time he hopes to add another president to his list: As reported by Kirk Nielsen ("Politics and Policy," July 29), President Bush recently amended U.S. foreign policy in a way that negatively affects Cuban Americans with relatives in Cuba. By limiting visits to Cuba to once every three years, Bush is punishing people. Why? Because Dubya puts politics before policy. He knows he can't bank on confusing ballots, misleading polling locations, and U.S. Supreme Court decisions to carry Florida to a 537-vote victory this time.

Bush is betting the number of hardliners who have no relatives in Cuba outnumber those with family there. His nonsensical justification for this? Intensifying sanctions against Cuba will speed up the fall of the Castro government. Oh really? U.S. sanctions have been in place since shortly after the revolution and Castro is still in power. In fact the last time I checked, Castro had lasted longer than nine U.S presidents. Let's count them: Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush, and Clinton. If the good people of Florida correct the wrong done against them in the last presidential election, I'd be willing to bet another Bush can be added to the list.
The embargo against Cuba has done nothing but make life more difficult for Cuban citizens, deny business to U.S companies, and strengthen, not weaken, Castro's government. Engagement will do what the embargo can't. But one-dimensional people like Dubya would rather bully small countries than engage them. His foreign-policy stupidity is as wrong in dealing with Cuba as it was in starting a war with Iraq.

Southern Dallas boosters are counting on a former landfill and future golf course to be a crucial economic development catalyst for that often-ignored part of the city.
Despite their confidence, the Trinity Forest golf course's potential impact is as uncertain now as the pin placements for its planned 2016 opening. Expecting a combination of prestige and traffic, Mayor Mike Rawlings said he's confident a world-class course — expected to host the Byron Nelson Championship and compete for the U.S. Open — will help developers and entrepreneurs recognize the potential.
"People are going to finally see the beauty in southern Dallas. Nobody knows it," Rawlings said. "I think the discovery part of this is going to be extremely important."
Rawlings and other backers hope the course will provide an economic spark by introducing a large, affluent crowd to an area far from their comfort zones. The course is projected to attract about 15,000 players annually and 250,000 spectators for the Byron Nelson. The SMU golf team also would be based there.
The contract to create the course is still being negotiated, but the broad strokes have been worked out. The city would provide 400 wooded acres along the Trinity River, spend $12 million for site work and clean up the former landfill site, which was already required.
A nonprofit operator would have to raise at least $20 million to build the course and would operate it. Landing the Byron Nelson also is a requirement for going forward with the course on Loop 12 between Interstate 45 and U.S. Highway 175.
Despite the talk of economic development, the proposal doesn't include plans for resorts, expensive subdivisions along the fairways or even trendy mixed-use developments. Most of the adjacent property couldn't be developed for various reasons, including the location in the floodplain.
"To predict that [related development] right now, it's naive at best and probably very unwise," Rawlings said. "People will discover on their own what the right ways are to invest and develop that part of the city."
Economic incentives would be available, but Rawlings said the business community would need to take the lead in steering development.
Council member Tennell Atkins, whose district covers areas to the south, said he sees great possibilities. But he warned people not to expect too much too soon.
Instead of a major development happening at once, he said he could imagine a small hotel and restaurants opening at Loop 12 and I-45. He said those could cater to travelers along the freeway plus those who see the combination of the golf course and the nearby Trinity River Audubon Center and planned Texas Horse Park as a tourist destination.
Atkins said that could eventually build into the development boom they've desired.
"Las Colinas was at one time swampland," Atkins told council members. "Look at it now."
Birdie or bogey?
Michael J. Sorrell, president of Paul Quinn College, just a few miles from the golf course site, said sustainable development in "under-resourced" areas like this is very difficult.
"You have to applaud the mayor for thinking big," Sorrell said. "If you're going to do something, you should pursue something of significance."
Eric Affeldt, president and CEO of Dallas-based ClubCorp, which owns or operates more than 150 golf courses and country clubs, said the city's plan is an ambitious one at a time when the industry has struggled. He said more golf courses have closed than opened in the past five years, in part because of overbuilding in past years.
"It strikes me as more political than economic," Affeldt said about the Trinity Forest site.
City officials have looked at this as virtually a no-lose proposition. Dallas would spend very little money that hadn't already been allotted for the site, because the environmental cleanup was mandated.
Monte Anderson, a prolific developer with projects throughout Oak Cliff and southern Dallas County, is one of the dissenters. He said he heard similar promises about Dallas National Golf Club when that project was pitched to the Oak Cliff Chamber of Commerce more than a decade ago.
He said the minimal development near the course has been inexpensive tract homes.
"Do you really believe that golf course [Trinity Forest] is going to do anything beside provide a good golf course for the rich?" Anderson said.
He said the other downside is that the nonprofit operator could pile up losses, go out of business and leave the city with a money pit.
Winds of change
A 2001 survey by Golf Course Industry magazine found that 38 percent of the nation's courses lost money. The rest were nearly evenly split between those that made a profit and broke even.
Also, the number of golf rounds played nationally in 2011 was down by 2.5 percent, according to the National Golf Foundation. That number was also down by 0.4 percent in the Dallas-Fort Worth area and has declined locally in four of the last six years.
However, the windfall from landing the Byron Nelson would provide an immediate economic boost, presumably to downtown hotels and restaurants. The golf course wouldn't go forward without an agreement to bring the Byron Nelson to Dallas. AT&T is taking the lead in raising funds for the course and is also set to take over as the tournament's title sponsor.
A 2000 economic impact study of the Byron Nelson tournament calculated the spending at $38.8 million.
If the course were to land the coveted U.S. Open, the impact would be much larger. Dan Hubbard, a U.S. Golf Association spokesman, said the economic impact is estimated at $140 million to $170 million.
Rawlings said he's not worried about people over-hyping the planned golf course and the momentum it could bring. But he said the public should remember this is still in the early stages, and there will be time to judge its success.
"Plans are just plans," he said. "They don't create history. Actions create history."

Larry Meeks, owner of the old cycle shop property at the corner of Tate Street and Fillmore Street, appeared before the Board of Aldermen Tuesday evening to discuss the property. The board passed a motion requesting Meeks present a detailed plan of improvements and future use of the property during the board's May 2 session.
"You can look in the dictionary for the word 'blight,' and I think it's a classic definition of the word blight," said Ward 1 Alderman Andrew "Bubba" Labas. "I think the property could be salvaged — I think it could be repaired and rehabbed — but it's going to take time and effort and money."
Meeks told the board he is working on cleaning up the building and has encountered problems with vandalism.
Labas said the city has worked to improve this section of downtown.
"I am very concerned about the property," he said, "not only because of the location of it, but due to all the other investment that's happening around the area and the detraction from the other property values in the area … It's an up-and-coming area, and I'm really glad to see that. I would hope your plans would be consistent with what the surrounding area could become."
Meeks said he is working on the outside first and plans to clean out most of the contents.
The property was also involved in adjudication proceedings for cleanup in the late 1990s.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) -- Florida coach Urban Meyer has referred to Tennessee as "the team we're playing this week," refusing to call his upcoming opponent by its proper name.
The ploy is one of the many motivational tactics he uses before rivalry games. His methods work, too. The fifth-ranked Gators haven't lost a rivalry game under Meyer and they hope to keep that streak intact tomorrow afternoon against the 22nd-ranked Volunteers.
The winner assumes command in the SEC East Division while the loser will be playing catchup.
Tennessee is 1-1 while Florida is 2-0 but against weaker opponents. The Gators also have a couple of key players injured.
WVLT Sports Director Rick Russo is in Gainesville covering the Vols-Gators game, you can click on the above video links to see his reports from "The Swamp."

Today I a very happy to tell that my first illustrations have been accepted.
Photography and wintertime didn't come that well together as I would have liked. At first I started to put myself under pressure. I had to create something. That did work, but in the opposite way.
More pictures, but less to upload.
So I decided to to take the pressure off and make joy priority number one again when I take my camera out of his bag. Still I wanted to do something to relax and take my mind of my daily life.
Digital painting it became. This is a totally new thing to me, but I already love it. It gives my mind the peace it needs and it is possible to create what ever you want. I am happy to say I have recovered my joy in making images. By hand or by camera.
If anyone...

I haven't heard this
Should I?
no care
Album Rating: 4.0I always expect or want an artist to not make it easy for me to appreciate his or her art. I like when music challenges me, the listener, as if the artist is daring me to like them. I've found the harder you have to work at something, the more embedded it will be into you, the more you will appreciate its existence, its fearlessness to not give in to you just so it will be liked
^ This explains your love for weird, shitty music.
That's why undun is not a good record. Well, it is a good record, but therein lies the problem. It's an easy album to listen to; chilled-out hip-hop, catchy choruses, solid flow from Quest, semi-layered atmosphere and production.
^ Thats called good music Chambered.
Album Rating: 4.0Chambered listen to Game Theory and Things Fall Apart, both of those are masterpieces.
Album Rating: 4.0Why isn't this just a soundoff? You spend all of one paragraph reviewing the album.
Album Rating: 4.0Its funny you dont like this because its too commercial and unchallenging when its their biggest project yet (the concept), and How I Got Over is catchy too.
Album Rating: 4.7Grammatically, this review is fine but I can't make any sense of your argument. Basically, you are saying if an album is easy to digest, it can't be good because you don't have to fight with yourself to like it.
Digging: Brand New - Science Fiction
Album Rating: 4.0Chambered is blazing at the moment, I forgive him.
Album Rating: 4.0its all good Chambered, I just think its humurous how you ferouciously jerked off to a horseshit album like Shabazz Palaces and cant like a genius work like this because its too accessible.
Shabazz Palaces suck hard.
Album Rating: 4.7So then what is your reason for saying this is average? I'm sure you have one but I didn't get that from this review
Album Rating: 4.0lol Im not following. You say you dont like this because its too easy, which is the definition of accessible.
Album Rating: 4.0dont worry Im just butthurt I love the Roots been jamming them hard lately.
Album Rating: 4.0If you dont like Kool On, stop listening to Hip Hop
Album Rating: 4.7Oh ok...I don't know, it's pretty much just an unsupported opinion but you're normally pretty good so I'll let it slide
Album Rating: 4.0Chambered if this wasnt you I would neg so hard
Album Rating: 3.0 | Sound Offpretty bad for a roots record.
Album Rating: 4.0Basically, this sounds really good. But it's actually trying to sound good. Therefore, it cannot be a good album.
Album Rating: 4.0Its not their best but its definitely better than The Tipping Point, Rising Down, How I Got Over, and Do You Want More imo. Probably Phrenology too.

In the fall of 2008, a financial crisis of a scale and severity not seen in generations left millions of Americans unemployed and resulted in trillions in lost wealth. Our broken financial regulatory system was a principal cause of that crisis. It was fragmented, antiquated, and allowed large parts of the financial system to operate with little or no oversight.
Today, our most important challenge is creating stronger economic growth and helping the millions of Americans who lost their jobs get back to work. As part of that effort, we are committed to implementing new rules that will build a safer, more stable financial system—one that provides a robust foundation for lasting economic growth and job creation.
In order to achieve these goals, and help protect our economy from future crises, we must continue with the implementation of Wall Street Reform. However, more than a year after the enactment of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, opposition to reform persists.
Opponents are voicing a wide range of criticisms in a concerted effort to slow down, weaken, or roll back reform. Their arguments are misguided. This week, we'll be taking a look on this blog at what those critics are saying—and rebutting their claims one by one. We begin this series by addressing one of the key misconceptions surrounding reform—its impact on small banks.
Myth #1: Wall Street Reform Hurts Small Banks
This claim is particularly dubious given strong support for enactment of the Dodd-Frank Act by the Independent Community Bankers of America. Wall Street Reform helps level the playing field between large banks and small ones, helping to eliminate distortions that previously favored the biggest banks that held the most risk. The Dodd-Frank Act subjects big banks to much higher standards than small banks in a number of areas:
Tough new capital and liquidity requirements to reduce the risks presented by the biggest Wall Street firms do not apply to community banks. In fact, the law largely exempted about 7,000 community banks and thrift institutions, nearly all of which hold less than $10 billion in assets and a third of which hold less than $100 million, from these requirements.
Wall Street Reform requires the biggest institutions to pay a larger share of the cost of deposit insurance protection, reflecting the greater risk they pose to the financial system.
Wall Street Reform strengthens protections for one of community banks' core sources of funding by raising deposit insurance protection from $100,000 to $250,000.
The Dodd-Frank Act also helps to level the playing field between small banks and their nonbank competitors by making sure they're playing by the same set of rules. The Dodd-Frank Act gave the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau the ability to examine regularly nonbank financial services providers—like payday lenders, debt collectors, and independent mortgage brokers—and to prohibit unfair, deceptive, and abusive acts or practices that hurt small banks and Americans across the country. Of course, in order for the CFPB to be fully equipped to carry out these crucial responsibilities, the Senate must move forward expeditiously to confirm Rich Cordray as Director.
Finally, Wall Street Reform helps make sure that small banks are not subject to excessive supervisory burdens, such as multiple exams by different regulators. The regulators of community banks will bear responsibility for enforcing one set of rules issued by the new CFPB, allowing small banks to avoid the burden of multiple exams.
The authors of Wall Street Reform understood that small banks did not cause the crisis and should not be the focus of reform. Small banks play a critical role in their communities—creating jobs and helping Americans borrow money to buy a home, grow their businesses, or pay for college.
Thanks to the steps now being taken, reform is helping put community banks on a more equal footing and is strengthening—not weakening—their essential role in our financial system. That's good news for growth and job creation in communities across the country.

Ugly Stains, Cracks and Marks Are Fascinating Elements of Beautiful Art
New exhibition to open at the Monterey Museum of Art
Sep 30, 2010, 05:00 ET from Monterey Museum of Art
MONTEREY, Calif., Sept. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- The Monterey Museum of Art proudly announces the opening of In Process: Ingrid Calame on Saturday, October 30, 2010. The exhibition will run through February 27, 2011 at the Monterey Museum of Art-La Mirada, 720 Via Mirada, Monterey, California.

Calame is one of the country's leading contemporary abstract painters. She is known for creating large-scale, abstract works inspired by tracings of the stains and graffiti found on the streets and sidewalks in cities across the country. A significant amount of time is painstakingly spent with what most people walk on, walk past, scorn or remain oblivious to, resulting in intricate juxtapositions of color, line and form. It has been said that Calame's paintings look at first glance like the work of a younger, more joyous Jackson Pollock.
Monterey Museum of Art Executive Director, E. Michael Whittington says, "Ingrid Calame is an exceptional artist whose stunningly beautiful works include a simple concept — tracing the everyday spills and stains of our surroundings — and rigorous technique. Of special interest will be the site-specific, ephemeral work created for the Museum's Dart Gallery executed directly on the gallery walls."
Calame explains, "Since the early 90s, I have been working with tracing. I go to specific locations to trace marks, stains and cracks on the ground on to architectural Mylar [polyester-based tracing film]. From these tracings I make drawings and paintings. I clean the original tracings and layer them on top of each other. Once I've piled up the tracings, I place several rectangles of drafting Mylar on top of them. This determines the size of the drawings I will eventually make. I then start to trace the layers of rubbings that are beneath the rectangles, with a different color pencil for each layer, peeling back the layers one by one until I reach the bottom of the pile. The final drawings are always a surprise.
In Process is the Monterey Museum of Art's contemporary art series featuring current projects by emerging and mid-career artists. Each installment in the series features 10-25 words by the artist and frequently includes site-specific installations. The Museum is open Wednesday through Sunday.

Baby Busters??
The Baby Bust is here and millennials are in the spotlight again. It appears that everyone is obsessed with whether or not twenty-somethings are interested in procreating, from The New York Times Motherlode to The Wall Street Journal, the topic of discussion is millennial parenting-or the lack there-of.
Take this from a twenty-something parent: the once-normal and banal move into parenting is now fraught with questions of timing, maturity, choice, and whether parenting will contribute to the elusive gain of that sought-after ideal: happiness.
Even secular sources are concerned that "happiness" has become the idol of the masses, and one of the causes of the decline in Americans' desire to have children. The Wall Street article on America's Baby Bust argues that happiness is the American equivalent of "the lodestar of a life well-lived." The article cautions that, in regards to the trend of having fewer children, "If we're going to reverse this decline, we'll need to reintroduce into American culture the notion that human flourishing ranges wider and deeper than calculations of mere happiness."

Imagine emptying out your garage, disassembling a hot rod, raiding Home Depot, and then masterfully mismatching all the parts back together in an eye-pleasing way. That's what Becker Merchandiser Brian Bent has been doing for Becker Surfboards for the past sixteen years. And his mission continues at the shop's brand-new location in Huntington Beach, California.
"I like atmosphere," Bent says. "You know when you're going into those Rainforest Cafes? You go in there, it's something visual. It's not just, ?Here you go. Here's your food.'"
In the same manner that restaurants aim to provide diversion with dinner, Bent has set out to make shopping at Becker's new 3,500-square-foot store an experience. "The whole point of the uniqueness is to stoke people out," he says. "It's like three-dimensional entertainment."
This notion is nothing new to Becker Surfboards. Each of its five stores scattered throughout Orange and Los Angeles counties has its own playful signature. Inside each shop are custom-built displays and hanging artwork made from driftwood, pipes, Plexiglas, vacuum cleaners, automobile parts — anything, really — that makes visiting the store just plain fun.
On the outside, the new Hutington Beach shop fits inconspicuously among the rest of the storefronts at Sea Cliff Plaza. It hardly looks any different from the center?s Baja Fresh or Baskin Robbins. But step inside Becker Surfboards and you enter a small world saturated with a potpourri of avant-garde artwork doused in yellows, browns, and neon pinks.
"There are four or five main colors through the scheme," says Bent. "Neon pink represents youth and punk, and yellow represents glory."
Bent works closely with Becker Owner Dave Hollander, but when it comes down to the look, Hollander gives Bent carte blanche. "This is the second store in a row that I do all the lease arrangements, and I give him a credit card, the keys, and say, 'Have fun,'" says Hollander. "You've gotta believe in Brian, because what you see at the outset isn't what you get. The ground work can be really crude and lack any kind of direction, and then all of the sudden it clicks."
Bent and Hollander did collaborate on the shop's floor plan, however. They set the store up similar to Disneyland; the checkout is in the center like Sleeping Beauty's Castle (for both customer-service and security purposes) and the remaining sections — kids' land, juniors' land, surfboard land, men?s land, and skate land — revolve around the center counter (there's even a map at the front of the store). For image, Bent wanted the front of the store — the prime real estate — to be devoted to surfboards.
"Brian wanted you to come in through the surfboard area," says Hollander. "The conventional wisdom is you put your surfboards and your wetsuits in the back, because if they customers want a surfboard or a wetsuit, they're going to go find it — you don't need to put it in your prime retail space. But his feeling, and I agreed with him on that, is the first feeling you get when you come through the door identifies who and what you are with the customer. With us, that's surfboards, and even though surfboards may be only ten percent of our sales now that we've grown so much, it's 90 percent of who we are."
Of course, that could all change. Most of the custom-made racks are modular, which allows Becker to alter the floor plan in order to accommodate growing categories.
"Our stores are kind of like a boat," says Hollander, "you're always working on them. If one area's kind of getting old and tired or that category's not valid anymore, Brian comes in and we redo stuff."
It's definitely a work in progress, but it's worthwhile because it keeps the customers happy. "We see a lot of people smiling and going, ?I just love this stuff. Who does this stuff?'" says Hollander. "They're laughing. He has the ability to think outside the box."

The formation of LLM BAR EXAM began in 2006 when a small group of LL.M. students recognized the limitations of bar review courses that were available at that time. While looking for a program to fit their particular needs, this group of students quickly realized that no such program existed for LL.M. students. Based on preliminary market research, this group of students, who evolved into the founders of LLM BAR EXAM, was quickly aware that traditional bar review courses simply did not address the fundamental differences between LL.M. students and J.D. students.
Applying this basic notion, the founders of LLM BAR EXAM began to identify the optimal way for an LL.M. student to prepare for the bar examination. The first step in this process was to identify common pain points for LL.M. students:
Academic Limitations. LL.M. students rarely take "first-year" classes that are required of J.D. students. These "first-year" classes make up a majority of the MBE subjects on the bar examination. Without a specialized preparation, the founders of LLM BAR EXAM found that this lack of academic preparation left LL.M. students at a disadvantage on a scaled exam
Time Limitations. Bar applicants not only need to know substantive law, but also must be able to put this information down on paper in the limited time available to succeed on the bar examination. The founders of LLM BAR EXAM found that many LL.M. students focused almost entirely on learning substantive law, leaving little to no time to practice bar examination strategy.
Once these concepts were clearly defined, the next step was to design a proprietary methodology to appropriately balance bar examination substance and strategy. The result of the founders' extensive market research and analysis is the modern LLM BAR EXAM bar preparation program, which was officially launched in 2009.
Since its formal introduction in 2009, LLM BAR EXAM has grown from a fledgling program with one classroom location to a national program with students from more than 80 home countries. As LLM BAR EXAM continues to grow, we seek to maintain the small classroom feel of the first year of the program. We seek to promote the highest levels of individual attention by creating personalized study schedules and assigning personal tutors to all students. Finally, we seek to continue our research and design efforts in order to ensure that our students are receiving the highest quality program, preparation, faculty, and staff.

WTVP's virtual golf outing last month has put many of us in the mood for the real thing. Now if only Mother Nature and her silly ground hog would only cooperate.
One good thing about the extremely cold weather is that it did keep people indoors to bask in the warm glow of their television sets. Hopefully you did not have to tune in to that video of the fireplace, but rather you were warmed by the sparks generated by Downton Abbey and Sherlock on MASTERPIECE with their delicious storylines and hot plots. And for you Doc Martin fans, thank you. The marathon to raise revenue to acquire season six and renew earlier seasons was hugely successful. As I write this, we are in negotiations with the distributor to keep the good doctor and the citizens of Port Wenn on WTVP.
March is traditionally the main month when viewers like you take to the phones and the web to let us know with your membership gifts and renewals that we can count on you to keep WTVP strong. It is no secret that memberships like yours are our major source of funding. You do make a difference at this, your local public TV station. Thank you for taking the time during the next few weeks to do your part.
Downton Abbey may be over for the season, but the great drama continues. Watch for a Mr. Selfridge special during the March membership drive and for Season 2 of the spectacular drama later in the month on MASTERPIECE. If you are not familiar with the series, it's about a former employee of Marshall Field & Company who moves to London and starts a merchandising revolution with his eponymous department store - and all the intrigue and interpersonal drama that accompanies the effort. And also starting later this month is a brand new season 3 of Call the Midwife - one of my favorites for its writing, characterizations and drama. The good stuff continues on public television thanks to your support.
Finally, congratulations and a huge thank you to Stacey Tomczyk, WTVP's Promotions Director, who has agreed to serve as our Interim Program Director following Linda Miller's retirement last month.

Benjiwrote a review of Sea To Summit Pocket Shower on December 5, 2009
If you are camping near water, why dont you have this yet?
This item is the only thing in my UL setup I am not willing to ditch in the pursuit of having a pack so light it would make a school kid jealous. This thing is sweet. Ive never tried to sun warm it, I always add some hot water from the stove.(filled it with clear creek water and warmed it in scummy hot springs a couple times also) The thing that makes this so sweet is it has so many functions: shower, faucet for washing hands/dishes away from the water, camp water storage, dry bag, pillow.Mine has proven fairly durable so far. Only one complaint, just about everytime I get ready to use this in cold weather, it gets windy as hell and I freeze. I emailed Sea to Summit about this but they never got back to me.

Unlike The Need for Speed, the game features simpler driving physics, and utilises race tracks with an exotic setting as well as high jumps. The car selection includes sports cars and concept cars.
Game Modes
Need for Speed II is playable in Singleplayer and Multiplayer, which can be played via a modem, network serial link, and split screen.
- Knockout - Knockouts are available once the player has completed a tournament. In this mode, the player that finishes a race in last position will be eliminated. This is repeated until one is left.
- Single Race - Standard circuit races with a specific number of laps.
- Tournament - A series of races that involves every track of the game, in which players with the highest numbers of points win the whole tournament. The better the finished position, the more points one will gain.
Each of these race types can be customised. This includes physics (Arcade, Simulation), catch-up mode, driving direction, opponents (Class, skill level, number (up to seven)) and a mirrored option of the selected track. In each race track, an interactive soundtrack will be played, which is directly adapted to the gaming situation.
Car List
The car list mainly consists of European sports cars and concept cars from the 1990's. Every car's brake bias, downforce and gear ratios may be fine-tuned. Players can also watch a short video presentation of each car in the game and check real-life performance stats, history and a slide show. This option is known as Showcase.
Class A
- Ferrari F50
- Ford GT90
- Lotus Elise GT1
- McLaren F1
- Bomber BFS (Special Edition Bonus Vehicle)
- FZR 2000 (Special Edition Bonus Vehicle)
- Tombstone (Special Edition Bonus Vehicle)
Class B
- Isdera Commendatore 112i
- Jaguar XJ220
- Ford Indigo (Bonus Vehicle)
- Italdesign Nazca C2 (Special Edition Bonus Vehicle)
Class C
- Italdesign Cala
- Lotus Esprit V8
- Ferrari 355 F1 (Special Edition Bonus Vehicle)
- Ford Mustang Mach III (Special Edition Bonus Vehicle)
All race tracks are closed circuits set in various different environments around the world.
- Proving Grounds - An oval test track based in Norway.
- Outback - Australian inspired route featuring landmarks based in Sydney such as the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge.
- North Country - Western Europe based on Germany and the Netherlands.
- Pacific Spirit - Running across a city, a national park, the Lions' Gate Bridge, the SkyTrain and BC Place from Vancouver.
- Mediterraneo - Coastal and cliff-side track set on the Greek coast.
- Mystic Peaks - A highland track covered in snow set in Nepal that passes through high mountains and tunnels.
- Monolithic Studios - Hollywood film studios (Bonus Course unlocked by beating both the Knockout and Tournament modes)
Special Edition Courses
- Last Resort - Based on Central and South American themes including a coast, a rainforest, a volcano and step pyramids.
Special Edition
The Special Edition release of Need for Speed II added seven new cars, one new track, 3dfx Glide support and a new driving style (Wild). It was released on November 6, 1997 in North America with a later release of February 2, 1998 in Japan and Europe.
- The game was originally intended to feature police, but a cop mode was cut due to a short development schedule.

SOUTH HOLLAND — At the recent Poverty Conference held in Chicago, Messrs. Quentin Young and Jesse Jackson continued to do a disservice to the poor people of this country by advocating programs that are doomed to failure.
While increasing welfare funds can provide temporary relief to the needy, 20 years of social legislation have demonstrated this approach only leads to greater demands for available funds, followed by higher taxes to finance them, and eventually an economic turndown. When business is stagnant, unemployment increases, taxes decrease, and the plight of the poor becomes more widespread. A permanent solution to the problem of poverty involves an expanding economy. When business is good, unemployment decreases, wages increase, taxes increase without raising the basic rates, fewer people will need assistance, and more funds will be available for the truly indigent. All segments of society benefit.

text: Singapore - Gold surged to the highest level in more than two months as demand for haven assets strengthened due to a global retreat in stocks and a renewed slump in oil, with investors scaling back bets about the pace and timing of US interest rate increases.Bullion for immediate delivery gained as much as 0.5% to $1 113.89 an ounce, the highest price since November 4, and was at $1 113.54 at 12:15 in Singapore, according to Bloomberg generic pricing. The metal is up 4.9% this year as the MSCI Asia Pacific Index fell 10%, with a decline in stocks on Tuesday snapping a two-day rally.Gold has re-established its credentials in the opening month of 2016 as the commodity that can outperform when aversion to risk increases. Investors have been turning to safer assets amid tumbling stocks, weaker oil prices and concern that China's currency may extend declines. The turmoil in financial markets has prompted investors to reduce bets that US interest rates will increase in March, adding to bullion's allure."There's risk in the equity markets, so that's why we have seen this increase in safe-haven demand," said Helen Lau, an analyst at Argonaut Securities (Asia). "The US may withhold raising interest rates, so that's also warming up the sentiment toward gold. The funds are flowing into ETFs, so this will drive up the investment demand."Rates betsThe odds of a rise in US borrowing costs in March have been cut to 25% from 51% at the start of the year, and the chance of a raise in June is now 44% from 75%, according to bets tracked by Bloomberg.

Master of Arts in Anthropology
The objective of the MA in anthropology at the University of Louisville is to enhance student knowledge of and skills in dealing with contemporary social issues facing a globalizing community and world from an anthropological perspective and to be able to locate these in the long progression of human history and within the body of social science theory. We expect our graduates to enter professions as skilled administrators, researchers, and leaders. Although students may focus heavily on evolutionary anthropology, archaeology, or cultural anthropology, this is a general, comprehensive masters program. Anthropology is the queen of multidisciplinary work, and we see our students taking courses from and pursuing collaborations with colleagues in Humanities, Sociology, History, Women and Gender Studies, Pan-African Studies, Political Science, Art History, Biology, and the Kent School of Social Work. Students with little or no academic background in anthropology will be required to take some preparatory courses determined in consultation with the Department of Anthropology's Director of Graduate Studies, Dr. Lisa Markowitz. To learn more about current and ongoing research projects, labs, and field sites, visit our Research and Special Programs page.

Connecticut police and the state Department of Transportation have announced a major crackdown on distracted driving violations, according to a DOT press release.
The Anti-Texting Enforcement Project is part of the "Phone in One Hand, Ticket in the Other" initiative and will include four week-long enforcement periods throughout 2013 and 2014. The enforcement periods will take place in June and October of this year and March and July of next, according to the press release.
Distracted drivers will be fined $125 for the first offense, $250 for a second offense and $400 for each subsequent violation, the DOT said.
The crackdown is an expansion of a 2010 Hartford pilot project designed to minimize the number of distracted-driving related accidents. According to the U.S. DOT National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 660,000 drivers used cellphones and electronic devices in 2011, resulting in 3,300 deaths and 387,000 injuries, the DOT said.
Forty states, Washington D.C., Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands employ bans on texting while driving. Connecticut implemented its initial ban in 2010.

Why I'm not buying the Harry Potter stamps
Sunday, November 24, 2013 (posted by Kevin Blackston at 10:08 pm)
Last week, the United States Postal Service issued a booklet of 20 stamps featuring scenes from the Harry Potter movies. Time will tell whether or not the stamps will sell as well as postal officials might like, but I will not be buying the stamps for my own collection for several reasons.
First, even if we accept the argument that Harry Potter is a subject worthy of a commemorative U.S. postage stamp—something of which I'm not at all convinced—there is absolutely no reason that 20 different stamps are needed. The issuance of these stamps is nothing more than a money grab by the USPS.
Second, the stamps have absolutely nothing to do with United States history or culture. The Harry Potter books were written by a British author and the movies (on which the stamps are based) featured British actors. I have nothing against Britons, mind you, but there is nothing American about Harry Potter. For decades the United States had a reputation as a country whose stamps had some national connection, but no more.
Third, the designs of the stamps show a complete and total lack of creativity or artistic design value. They are nothing more than still frames captured from the Harry Potter movies. I could create the exact same designs with nothing more than my computer and the movie DVDs.
Fourth—and this is for me the most critical reason, though many may disagree—I don't believe Harry Potter is compatible with Christianity. Deuteronomy 18:12 refers to sorcery as "an abomination to the Lord"; Galatians 5:20 mentions sorcery in the same breath as murder; and Acts 19:19 indicates that early Christian converts burned books related to magic. Laugh if you will, but I simply cannot justify spending my money to support the honoring of sorcery—even if "it's just a children's book"—when it is clearly identified as evil.
As far as I'm concerned, the USPS can keep its Harry Potter stamps. I'll wait for something more appealing.

Silly observation. Did you buy the caroon stamps? Both sides of the face to me.
Dave N. wrote (on Sunday, December 1, 2013 at 2:38 pm):
I support your decision and reasons to not buy the Harry Potter stamps.
John G. wrote (on Sunday, December 1, 2013 at 4:03 pm):
No argument with your decision or your reasons.
Jose D wrote (on Sunday, December 1, 2013 at 6:05 pm):
I was with you up to reason 4. Let's not mix up religion with the content of the stamps.
Kevin Blackston wrote (on Sunday, December 1, 2013 at 7:12 pm):
Larry, you won't hear me arguing that cartoon characters are good subjects for commemorative stamps, either. Call me a curmudgeon. ;-) Jose, the "religious" angle is simply one of the reasons I personally won't be buying the stamps. I suspect a lot of people would agree with you, however; to each his own.
Tom2Socks wrote (on Sunday, December 1, 2013 at 9:52 pm):
I agree totally with you. Also one cannot set aside religious values every so often; you either are or your not.

Piscataway, New Jersey (PressExposure) March 05, 2009 -- International contract research organization GenScript Corporation has developed two recombinant protein expression technologies that can provide high levels of both protein expression and purity. To date, BacuVanceTM and YeastHIGHTM both show success rates of over 90%.
The BacuVanceTM protein expression system employs insect cells infected by a high-titer recombinant baculovirus. BacuVanceTM can fill orders of up to gram quantities of highly purified protein. The system's emphasis is on protein functionality, particularly with regard to eukaryotic proteins. Like most GenScript services, BacuVanceTM can be tailored to each project's specific needs. In this case, GenScript offers a selection of different insect cell types for fine-tuned insect expression environment. In addition, clients can order transformed high-titer, baculovirus directly, delivered ready-to-use to produce proteins.
YeastHIGHTM is a yeast protein expression system producing proteins via high expression levels of genes of interest by selecting desired yeast transformants. The system uses durable, stable yeast strains whose protein processing resembles that of mammalian cells. This system has a very high yield and a capacity of up to 500L.
GenScript implements pre-project codon optimization and rare codon analysis for different insect cell lines and yeast strains. Both technologies give the client a number of options with regard to the initial input: full-length cDNA, EST sequence information, and genomic sequences. If genomic sequences are provided, the project implements GenScript mature gene synthesis platform.
Both YeastHIGHTM and BacuVanceTM link to many downstream applications, including eukaryotic protein analysis, NMR studies on isotope-labeled proteins, assay screening, structural biology studies, animal feed production, and environmental engineering.
GenScript Corporation is a reliable outsourcing partner providing a wide array of services to augment all stages of the drug discovery and biological reagent manufacturing processes, including high-quality gene synthesis and cloning, custom protein expression and purification, custom peptide synthesis and antibody development, custom stable cell line development, and a wide selection of biological reagents to life science researchers in industrial and academic settings. GenScript Corporation is headquartered in Piscataway, New Jersey.

HARRISON, NJ (Jan. 20, 2012) –New York Red Bulls General Manager and Sporting Director Erik Soler released the following statement on midfielder Carl Robinson, who is no longer with the club as of today.
"We want to thank Carl for his service to the New York Red Bulls. He has been a great servant for this club for the past two years and a true mentor for many of our young players. Carl has been a fantastic professional and ambassador for our club. We are excited for Carl, as he moves on in his career. He has a lot of potential and we wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors."
A former Welsh International, Robinson spent the last two years of his career with the Red Bulls. As a Red Bull from 2010-11, Robinson played 12 games and scored one goal. Prior to his stint in New York, he played for Toronto FC from 2007-09. Robinson was named the team's Most Valuable Player in his first two years with the Canadian club, for which he appeared 74 times.
Robinson came stateside after an extensive career in England. He began his playing career at Shrewsbury Town while on loan from Wolverhampton Wanderers, the club that he spent eight years at and amassed 165 appearances for. He then moved on to play for Portsmouth from 2002-04, but spent time on loan at Sheffield Wednesday, Walsall, Rotherham United, Sheffield United, and Sunderland.
His move to Sunderland was made permanent in 2004, and during the 2004-05 season he helped the club win promotion to the English Premier League. He finished his playing career in England with second-division side Norwich City, whom he appeared for 49 times before making his move to Toronto FC. Over his impressive playing career, Robinson amassed 52 caps for the national team of Wales, debuting in 1999.
Robinson missed most of the Red Bulls' 2011 season due to a knee injury.

New Trends in Nonlinear Control Systems and Applications
Call for Papers
During the past three decades, nonlinear systems have been of interest to many control theorists and mathematicians, because nonlinear control theories have been successfully applied in a variety of areas, such as industrial electronics, process control, and mechanical systems. In recent years, nonlinear systems have also been studied extensively, and many new contributions on nonlinear system concepts, control approaches, and applications have emerged. It is to be expected that the interests in this area will continue to increase, due to current research efforts on green and renewable energy sources, next generation smart electricity grids, and biological engineering.
This special issue targets both researchers actively working in theory and applications to provide the recent and original research results on nonlinear dynamics and control. Research papers with theoretical studies, new techniques, and engineering applications are especially welcome.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Nonlinear system modelling, identification, and optimization
- Nonlinear observers
- Hybrid, impulsive, and switched systems
- Nonlinear stochastic systems
- Chaos theory and control
- Adaptive control
- Nonlinear control methods and applications

bizarre issue
To start off, I had Windows 7 Professional loaded and working on a HP dv6700CTO. I upgraded from Windows Vista Ultimate.
I had win7 working for about two days until one morning I opened my laptop lid and it gave me a black screen with the error "Operating System not found." I started the laptop up again and it got to the screen stating Starting Windows and just hung there. I tried to reinstall win7 from the original bootable flash drive that I used and when I get to choosing the hard drive to install/format, It can't detect my computer's hard drive. I then tried using a vista dvd to to access my hard drive but it hangs on a black screen with only the mouse pointer appearing after "Windows is loading files." Every now and then the same thing happens when using the win7 flash drive. I'm not sure if this is an issue with my hard drive or something else, I just received this hard drive as a replacement for a failed one a day prior to installing win7.
Any help would be much appreciated
