You can understand why Jay DeMerit didn't initially jump at the opportunity to make a documentary about his life.
Sure, the UIC alum knew his story was worthy of the big-screen treatment — it's not every day that someone who went undrafted by Major League Soccer moves to England with just $1,800 in his pocket and ends up starting in the prestigious Premier League and World Cup — but the self-promotional aspect of the film pitch made DeMerit uncomfortable.
"I think it's a little strange to get behind a story that's about you," DeMerit said over the phone from Vancouver Thursday, where he now plays for Major League Soccer's Vancouver Whitecaps. "And I knew I would have to be the vehicle to promote the film. I'm not really that kind of guy: 'Go out and look at me.'
"But knowing soccer and having played it for many years, I knew how unique the story was and decided to get on board."
With the help of a former UIC teammate and his friend, DeMerit and Co. got to work on the documentary shortly before the 2010 World Cup. There was just one problem: the rights to soccer footage are expensive — $20,000-for-one-minute-of-Premier-League-action expensive.
Rather than have an investor foot the bill and dictate the direction of the film, they devised a plan to have fans donate to the cause on an established website, Kickstarter.com. They had a goal ($215,000) and a deadline (July 18), but even DeMerit — the same guy who lived in an attic in England and survived on beans and toast to make his soccer dreams happen — had his doubts throughout the donation process.
"If there's one thing I am, it's realistic," DeMerit said. "I may have had big dreams and big ideas, but ultimately I was realistic it might not happen. A lot of people don't know if you don't reach the goal (by the deadline), kickstarter gives all the money back."
In the end, soccer fans — including "Saturday Night Live" star Seth Meyers and Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo — and players, including DeMerit's U.S. teammate Stuart Holden — donated $223,422 in about two and a half months. DeMerit admitted he became emotional when he received the news at practice.
"I shed tears," said DeMerit, who was injured at the time. "I sat there on a bench watching training by myself, and I couldn't believe all the people who made this story happen. That hit home."
"Rise and Shine: The Jay DeMerit Story" will screen in a limited number of Chicago-area theaters Thursday and Nov. 10 (go to jaydemeritstory.com to find a screening). It very well could have been a scripted film, but DeMerit passed on a separate pitch because he felt a documentary would be more appropriate in this case. Still, he knows exactly who he would have wanted to play him if the movie had been given the scripted treatment.
"I would say me," DeMerit said. "Hey, Eminem got to play himself in '8 Mile.'"
Corgan backs Epstein: Like most Cubs fans, Billy Corgan is excited about the Theo Epstein era. The Smashing Pumpkins front man believes Epstein and the two World Series rings he earned with the Boston Red Sox give the Cubs something they've been lacking: Credibility.
"One thing I've learned in my many years in the entertainment business, credibility is a lot more important than fans give it credit for," Corgan said over the phone Friday while promoting Resistance Pro Wrestling, which debuts at Excalibur Nov. 25. "If someone is going to convince you to come to a team that hasn't won in 103 years, you have to believe in him."
Corgan wasn't ready to make any bold World Series predictions – after all, this is the Cubs we're talking about -- but he admitted he is more confident in the team than he has been in the last decade.
"I think the Cubs are in a much better position to win the World Series than they were in the last 10 years. As much as the team was winning (in 2003, 2007, 2008), they also had this psychological fragility," said Corgan before referring to the Red Sox's 2004 American League Championship Series. "It's tough for a team down 3-0 to come back against the Yankees. I think Epstein brings that credibility to the organization."
About this week: The Cubs' Ryan Dempster will host a fundraiser for 22q11.2 Deletion (also known as DiGeorge Syndrome and VCFS) at The Palm Restaurant in Swisshotel Chicago Thursday. Former Cubs players Mickey Morandini, Todd Hollandsworth and Mike Bielecki are expected to attend. To purchase tickets, go to dempsterfamilyfoundation.org.
Sightings: The Green Bay Packers' Charles Woodson and the Blackhawks' Duncan Keith dined at Japonais Friday and Sunday, respectively. ... The Miami Heat's Juwan Howard dined at Paris Club Saturday. The Bulls' Luol Deng and Omer Asik and the Blackhawks' Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews were spotted upstairs at Studio Paris later that night, as was the Packers Jermichael Finley, who was wearing a lumberjack Halloween costume. Former NFL star Warren Sapp visited Studio Paris Wednesday and Thursday. Golfer Luke Donald was spotted at Paris Club and Studio Paris Friday.

As a devout socialist, author Upton Sinclair intended to vindicate Italian anarchists Sacco and Vanzetti, whose murder conviction was celebrated by American leftists. When Sinclair learned the facts of the case, he decided the cause was more important than telling the truth. Glenn uncovers this part of Sinclair's story that is seldom included in American history books.

WATCH: This is the Maybach Ultimate Luxury SUV (2020)
Mercedes-Benz is presenting the Vision Mercedes-Maybach Ultimate Luxury. The design of the crossover, based on an exclusive high-end saloon and an SUV, follows the philosophy of Sensual Purity.
The show car combines the comfort and typical strengths of both body styles. These include the raised seating position and the athletic looks. The Vision Mercedes-Maybach Ultimate Luxury is conceived as an electric car. Thanks to its four compact permanent-magnet synchronous motors, it offers fully variable all-wheel drive. The output from the powertrain is 550 kW (750 horsepower). The flat underfloor battery has a usable capacity of around 80 kWh, producing an NEDC range of over 500 kilometres (according to EPA: over 200 miles). The top speed is electronically limited to 250 km/h (155mph).
The fast-charging function is also convenient: thanks to DC charging based on the CCS standard, the system allows a charging capacity of up to 350 kW. In just five minutes, enough power can be charged to achieve an additional range of around 100 kilometres (62 miles).

Wayland professor selected for Oxford Round Table
PLAINVIEW – Dr. Yvonne LaMar received a pleasant surprise recently, but she's not sure who to thank for the honor.
LaMar, assistant professor of education at Wayland Baptist University, received an invitation to participate in the prestigious Oxford Round Tables in Oxford, England. The week-long gathering will be held in the summer of 2005.
The honor comes after a nomination and screening process, but LaMar said she isn't sure who nominated her for participation. The honor was a welcomed surprise.
"It is very early in my career, and I wouldn't expect this to happen until years down the road," LaMar said. "This also means there's a chance for some of my work to be more international, not just in publications, but in meeting with people who could make that possible."
A member of the Wayland faculty since the fall of 2003, LaMar will be participating in a Round Table dealing with child psychology, specifically on the psychological influences on today's children. LaMar has researched and written extensively on the subject of moral development of children, covering the decision-making process and how individuals determine right and wrong, and the difference between moral judgment and moral action.
LaMar said the Round Table features a series of discussions about the topic at hand among a gathering of those interested in it, peppered with presentations from the constituents. The group also participates in formal banquets and luncheons and has a chance to tour the Oxford area. She feels the event will be beneficial to her career.
"I'm hoping to get connected to other people who write about the topic and maintain some professional ties," she said, noting that it was a field with seemingly little interest.
LaMar holds a bachelor's degree from Temple University, a master's degree in education from the University of Pennsylvania, and a master's and doctorate in educational psychology from Cornell University.
The Oxford Round Table began in August 1989 to consider major issues in educational policy in the U.S., Britain and other nations. Composed initially of ministers of education and governors, the Round Table now meets to discuss issues in 12 different fields, inviting university professors, business leaders and organizational leaders to participate in a collegial, "think tank" atmosphere.

Policy Concerning Public Speakers, Programs, and Events at Oklahoma Christian University
As an academic institution committed to excellence and interested in both nurturing and challenging our students, faculty, staff, and visitors toward greater spiritual maturity, Oklahoma Christian University welcomes speakers, programs and events from across wide social, cultural, religious, and political spectra. In the spirit of a Christ-centered intellectual venue, Oklahoma Christian seeks to offer events that inspire, inform, question, challenge, and transform audiences. Though the University's facilities are used by both on- and off-campus groups, this usage does not constitute an endorsement by the University of every speaker, program, or event on the campus.
All public programs and events, whether sponsored by the University or by others who have permission to use University facilities, must be conducted in a way that reflects the University's fervent desire to be a faithful, positive, and Christ-like witness to those about us and our community at large. We recognize that some speakers, programs and events, widely acclaimed and recognized as outstanding by a wider academic and professional community, may be unsuited for public performance or display at Oklahoma Christian when they overtly contradict our stated Christian mission or reflect a non-Christian worldview.
This Policy contains three categories of guidelines:
- Guidelines which apply to both University-sponsored events and events sponsored by others who use the University's services and facilities;
- Guidelines which apply only to University-sponsored events; and
- Guidelines which apply only to events sponsored by others who use the University's services or facilities.
The following sections of the Policy discuss the guidelines applicable to each situation, as well as how violations of the policy are addressed.
- Guidelines which apply to both University-sponsored events and events sponsored by others who use the University's services and facilities
The presentation of ideas, materials, questions, and viewpoints must be done with integrity, exercise of due care in the selection of words and images, Christian charity, decorum, appropriateness, and respect for others and for the nature of this faith-based institution.
- Non-endorsement: OC does NOT ENDORSE every idea, image, speaker, event and program on the campus. In the interest of community service, fairness, and the search for truth, OC may allow third-party sponsored or departmental-sponsored programs and activities with which it may not agree philosophically, politically, or religiously, but which must be consistent with this Policy and the principles of civil discourse in the University's Statement of Academic Freedom and Responsibility.
- Program content: The content must not be profane, pornographic, or treasonous; call for violence or the overthrow of governing authority in this nation; unduly inflammatory; or intended to undermine the Christian faith. Content of events must not include character attacks and assassinations, defamation of character, denigration of people or institutions, and other irrational or disrespectful comments -- written, oral, or visual. Humor, satire, and story-telling that contain such material must be obvious as humor or intended to make an important point that does not violate the general intentions of this policy. If it is necessary for names to be mentioned, it should be done for identifying proponents or adherents, and not for the purpose of assigning motives.
Those approving speeches or activities on the campus and at University-sponsored events must be judicious in the use of controversial materials. The use of controversial materials must be done in a manner that will nurture faith even as it challenges thinking. Some matters are better discussed in private. Just because there is an academic purpose for a discussion or display does not alone mean that it should be discussed or displayed publicly on the campus, particularly where there are more appropriate venues for the study and discussion of those materials. Events which contain elements that are potentially controversial or unduly provocative (as described below) must be approved in writing by University officials up to and including the vice president responsible for the sponsoring department, or by the President's office if there is no sponsoring department.
The concepts of "controversial or unduly provocative" are matters of judgment on which reasonable people might disagree. The judgment to be made by the individual proposing an event or program is not whether he or she considers the matter controversial or unduly provocative, but whether a reasonable person should be aware that other reasonable people might consider a work or activity as controversial or unduly provocative in a Christian university environment. For example, most political discussions are certainly controversial, but many such discussions are commonplace and expected in a Christian university environment. However, if the discussion is about a lifestyle that many or most Christians from OC's heritage would not consider consistent with Biblical principles, then it should be treated as controversial or unduly provocative. Likewise, careful judgment should be exercised in the realm of works of art which are denigrating, sexually provocative, or appearing to illustrate or advance a cause contrary to Biblical principles. These few examples are not intended to be exhaustive nor definitive. Like Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart wrote in the obscenity case of Jacobellis v. Ohio (1964) "hard-core pornography" was hard to define, but that "I know it when I see it." University employees are on notice with this policy and are expected to know when something is controversial or unduly provocative when they see it or hear it, and thus to err on the side of safety and follow the requirements of this policy.
For reasons previously stated in this policy, just because an event, program, or image is considered controversial or unduly provocative does not mean that it will be prohibited by this policy. The purposes and manner in which it is presented may contribute to learning and understanding consistent with the purposes of the University.
The University may provide a form to be used to obtain the signatures of the approving/disapproving officials in the event that a potentially controversial or unduly provocative program is proposed.
- Venue: Programs and events shall take place only in facilities that are appropriate for the program or event in question, as determined by the nature of the activity (e.g., staging requirements, anticipated audience). To reserve a venue, the sponsor must make arrangements with and comply with the requirements of the Events office.
- Alcohol, tobacco and drugs: The use or promotion of alcohol, tobacco products and illegal drugs is strictly prohibited on campus.
- Dress code: All dress or costuming should fall within the campus policy regarding modesty and appropriate dress.
- Religious programs: If the use is religious, it will not involve alter calls, sacraments, or other religious worship from non-affiliated churches (limited exceptions may be made in the case of disasters or other humanitarian crises.)
- Marketing: All written and oral representations about the use will be clear that OC is not endorsing the program, any ideas espoused, or any candidates, unless endorsement is approved by appropriate senior officials of the University.
- Health and safety: The University reserves the right to cancel immediately any program or event if it is determined that damage to University facilities is or will likely result, or that activities are or may occur which endanger the health or safety of participants or others.
- Impact of programs: Programs and events may not interfere with the operation of the University or negatively impact the surrounding community.
- Legal compliance: All events must be conducted in a manner consistent with existing laws and University policies.
- Posters and signs: All posters and signs in University facilities or on University property are subject to the University's policy regarding signage. That policy is available from the Office of Student Life.
- Public address systems: No public address or amplifying system may be used outside without the approval of the Vice President of Operations.
- Cleanup: Users are responsible for the cleanliness and order of all open spaces following their use. Users will be billed for cleanup that they do not adequately and timely complete themselves.
- Political Activity: The University recognizes that it is generally prohibited from participating in political activity. The University's services and facilities may not be used in connection with political activity without the prior written approval of the President or the President's delegate, who will often need sufficient time to consult with outside counsel regarding the permissibility of the proposed services or use of facilities. Failure to follow this Policy and to refrain from using campus services or facilities in connection with political activity may compromise the University's tax-exempt status under federal and/or state law.
- Guidelines which apply only to University-sponsored events
For purposes of this Policy, a University-sponsored event is one sponsored or organized by:
- A student group recognized by the University's Office of Student Life; or
- A group established by administrative officials, faculty or staff for purposes associated with the University's mission.
- A group other than those listed above whose specific event has been officially approved for University sponsorship by appropriate senior officials of the University.
- Limitations of the Policy: This Policy specifically addresses only public speakers, programs and events. It does not address issues of speakers, programs or events within the classroom setting. Policies and guidance regarding classroom setting are found in the Policy Manual as well as The OC Covenant and The OC Graduate.
Questions and issues regarding 'academic freedom' at the University shall be interpreted consistently with the University's Statement of Academic Freedom and Responsibility. OC embraces deliberate and high standards of academic freedom and responsibility as outlined in its Statement of Academic Freedom and Responsibility. Therefore, subject to the limitations of that Statement and this Policy, it welcomes intellectual and respectful discourse and activities on nearly any subject as we seek to be a place where ideas are examined, challenged, and honed in the honest and humble search for truth. We do not believe we have found or understand all truth or that OC should be a place of indoctrination. Rather, we affirm that the truth has nothing to fear from inquiry.
- Exercise of Judgment: In public programs and events, we will seek to respect the sensitivities of our core constituencies while maintaining the integrity of the work we are presenting or performing. At the same time, Oklahoma Christian University also recognizes the importance of allowing for diversity of public viewpoints, opposing ideas, and even questionable content when it can be intelligently used as a means of opening doors for conversations that ultimately create a more informed, more intellectual, and more faithful believer.
- Approval Process: To insure that the spirit of these guidelines is met, those who are proposing a program or event on the campus that might be considered controversial or unduly provocative in light of this Policy should (i) exercise sound judgment with respect to the speaker, event or program, (ii) seek to understand the nature of possible objections to a program or event and (iii) obtain approval from the appropriate Vice President before the invitation is extended or public announcements are made. For potentially controversial or unduly provocative events (as described in A.2 above) related to the University's academic offerings, the written approval of the Department Chair, the appropriate Dean, and the Vice President of Academic Affairs must be obtained before the invitation is extended or public announcements are made.
If the potentially sensitive nature of the event is discovered after the invitation is issued and/or the public announcement is made, the Vice President, Dean and/or Department Chair shall be consulted promptly after such discovery so that appropriate steps can be taken, which may include actions up to and including cancellation of the event.
- Guidelines which apply only to events sponsored by others who use University services or facilities
- Denial of requests: Many of the decisions related to this Policy are judgment calls on which reasonable people might disagree. The University administration reserves the right to exercise its sole and unlimited discretion to deny or limit use or rental when the programs and/or activities are thought to be contrary to this Policy and/or the values of the institution, or when it is thought that the potential harm to the University, members of the University community, visitors, or surrounding community may outweigh the good that would come from allowing the program or use.
- Adequate compensation: The University is mindful that allowing use of its facilities by individuals or groups for amounts that do not constitute adequate compensation or have a compensatory purpose may be viewed as a special arrangement that results in the inurement of net earnings for the benefit of private individuals, or a violation of tax regulations related to political advocacy. Free use of University services or facilities requires the prior written approval of the President or the President's delegate, who will often need sufficient time to consult with outside counsel regarding the permissibility of the proposed services or use of facilities. Failure to follow this policy and to refrain from allowing campus services or facilities to be used without adequate compensation may compromise the University's tax-exempt status under federal and/or state law.
- Admissions charges: University facilities and services may not be used for personal gain. Charging of admission or collection of money is generally not allowed unless fully disclosed and approved in writing by the University and the University is appropriately compensated.
- Access:Access to campus roads and parking is subject to posted signs. Parking or driving on grass or sidewalks is not permitted. University grounds and facilities are generally open to the public, except as provided below:
- Access to buildings or facilities is not allowed without authorization if the building or facility is locked or if signs indicate that the building or facility is closed for a specific event.
- Without specific authorization, access is not permitted to:
- Dorms or apartments;
- Laboratories;
- Maintenance, utility and storage areas;
- Institutional food preparation areas;
- Private offices or work rooms;
- Studios, including art, radio and television studios;
- Theater program shops and facilities (e.g., costume shop, scene shop, lighting lofts, prop station, etc.)
- Athletic facilities; or
- Any other area indicating that access is restricted.
- Existing furniture, furnishings, and equipment may not be moved or rearranged without specific authorization.
- Insurance and indemnification: Any outside group using the University's facilities for a program or event must provide proof of at least $1 million in liability insurance and must agree in writing to indemnify the University for any liability associated with the group's program or event. In limited circumstances, the University may accept adequate proof of financial responsibility in lieu of the liability insurance. All injuries, costs, and damages resulting from use of a facility shall be borne by the organization using the facility regardless of the cause or the person causing the injury, cost, or damage.
- Marketing: When University services or facilities are made available to outside individuals or groups, the University's Marketing Department will be provided with all copy and images of messages that include the name of the University sufficiently in advance of the use that they can be changed if deemed necessary by OC. Unless waived in writing by the President or the President's delegate, all publicity in connection with the event, program or speaker shall contain the following statement in at least 12 point type and in a visible location: "An event of [sponsoring organization], held on the campus of, but not sponsored or endorsed by Oklahoma Christian University."
- Event Limitations and Priorities: The University reserves the right to place restrictions on the time, place and manner or conduct of events. Further, the University reserves the right to move or terminate a scheduled event when necessary to meet University priorities. The University will avoid doing this other than where judged by the University administration to be necessary, and the University will provide an alternate venue or time, if possible, and will provide as much notice as possible of the change.
- Violation of this Policy
Despite best intentions and precautions, problems and complaints may occur. It is understood, for example, that there may be unanticipated behavior in connection with a public program or event.
Issues or concerns regarding compliance with this policy should be resolved at the appropriate level and in the spirit of intellectual discourse and open dialogue. If a University student, employee, alumnus, or other constituent or an attendee at programs or events hosted by Oklahoma Christian has any concerns about whether the program or event complies with this Policy, he or she is encouraged to contact those responsible for hosting the program or event.
If the discussion with those responsible for hosting the program or event does not result in a peaceful, respectful and gentle conversation leading to a mutually acceptable solution, then the person having the concern shall follow the procedures outlined in the University's Conflict Resolution Procedures.
Those who plan and host speakers, programs and events on campus may expect that this Policy and the University's Conflict Resolution Procedures will be followed. Further, those who plan and host events on the campus may expect support from University administration, provided they have made reasonable efforts to follow the guidelines set forth in this Policy.
The University may provide and from time-to-time update a form to be used to request usage of the campus. Such form should be completed and submitted to the Events Office for approval. An event is not approved until that form is signed by the appropriate University official.
This policy adopted October 7, 2009, by the President's Cabinet. Mike E. O'Neal, President

With 450,000 Miles On The Ticker And A Blown 383 Putting Down 500 Rear-Wheel Horsepower, This '74 Malibu Is Unstoppable.
That hunk of rock in the night sky, often referred to by its technical name "the moon," orbits the Earth from 240,000 miles away. That's an astoundingly vast distance by most standards, but worthless bits of information like that wouldn't even impress the ladies at an MIT chess tournament. It does, however, put a little perspective on the feats achieved by Bryan Grove's '74 Malibu. In the 34 years it has been in his family, the valiant A-body has logged 450,000 miles on the clock, almost enough to complete a round trip to the moon or escape the screech of your mother-in-law's voice. To plagiarize those old Chevy ads, this sucker's held together "like a rock." Not content to bask in past commuting triumphs, Bryan has transformed the Malibu into a blown 515 rear-wheel horsepower street/strip beast on the cusp of solid 11-second e.t.'s. Through the years, man and machine have developed quite a bond, and have literally grown old together.
The tale starts in 1975, when Bryan's dad purchased the car in practically new condition off of a friend who couldn't keep up with the payments. Six years later, Bryan rode home from the hospital as a newborn in the Malibu, and the duo has been inseparable ever since. "As far back as I can remember, my family was always driving around together in the Malibu. The car served as a daily driver for 22 years, and even had a trailer hitch on it at one point so it could tow our camping trailer all over the country," Bryan recollects. "There aren't too many driving memories I have from childhood that don't involve this car. It even had springs off of a 454 El Camino at one point so it could haul all our stuff without bottoming out. When my dad bought the car, little did he know it would still be around 35 years later looking better than ever."
Perhaps even more impressive than the 450,000 miles the Malibu has logged is the fact that 350,000 of them were with the original two-barrel 350 small-block and TH350 trans. "Other than routine maintenance and oil changes every 3,000 miles, this car never required a major repair when it was a commuter. The flexplate let go once, but that's the only thing that's ever broken," he says. Bryan's dad tossed him the keys when he turned 16, and he's been dumping every spare nickel and dime at the project ever since. "I was in love with that 150hp motor, and drove the car all through high school. At first, my dad and I spent a lot of time trying to reverse the havoc two young kids unleashed on the interior for all those years. Fortunately, since the car spent almost its entire life in Arizona, rust has never had a chance to attack the metal."
With a fresh coat of paint and a revamped interior, Bryan could finally focus on upping the power ante. The stock mill was yanked and replaced with a GM Performance Parts 350 crate motor, and he quickly tallied another 50,000 miles on the Malibu before retiring it from daily driving duty in 2001. For the first time in its existence, the car was driven just occasionally over the next seven years, and didn't see much progress in the way of mods. That all changed rather abruptly, however, after Bryan started hanging out at the dragstrip again. Out came the 350, and in went a new GMPP ZZ383 crate motor. It features a forged crank, powdered metal connecting rods, hypereutectic 9.6:1 pistons, GM Fast Burn aluminum cylinder heads, and a 222/230-at-.050 hydraulic roller cam. Rated at 425 hp, the 383 is a stout combo right out of the box, but Bryan took it one step further with the addition of a 150hp hit of nitrous, a set of long-tube headers, and dual 3-inch pipes with Flowmaster mufflers. Despite weighing in at a hefty 4,140 pounds, the Malibu ran a best e.t. of 12.35 at 117 mph. "After taking a short break, I was hooked again," he says. "Ever since then, all I've been thinking about day and night is how I can make my car faster. It's like I'm 16 years old all over again."
After dropping in the new motor, the Malibu was running faster and looking better than it ever had before. Nevertheless, the 35-year-old car was starting to show its age, and Bryan decided to give it a full Pro Touring rubdown in an effort to modernize the A-body's dated chassis, and bolster its cruising credentials. The stance was lowered 3 inches with a set of QA1 coilovers up front, and Eaton springs and KYB shocks in the rear. Rushforth Fuel wheels, measuring 19×8 up front and 20×10 out back, were wrapped in Nitto meats before taking occupancy inside the wheelwells. Surprisingly, the capacious factory tubs swallowed up the gargantuan 315/35R20 rear rollers without requiring any beating or banging whatsoever. To help plant those meats, a set of upper and lower control arms from Performance Suspension Technology was bolted in place, and Bryan reports that they enable quick and easy pinion angle changes for maximum bite. Since the big wheels made the marginal stock brakes even more inadequate, they were swapped out for a set of Baer four-wheel discs.
At this stage, it appeared as if the project was nearing the end, but considering the engine combo was already a year-and-a-half old, Bryan called an audible and changed it up once again. Bottom-12s in a 2-ton cruiser just wasn't enough, so it was time to add some boost. "I wanted the feel of nitrous without having to hit the button or refill the bottle, so one call to ProCharger took care of that dilemma," he quips. "Since installing the intercooler required moving the radiator back two inches, I figured it would be a good time to upgrade that as well. A stout cooling system is a must here in Arizona, so in went a Be Cool radiator and dual electric fans. The blower made the motor much thirstier, so an Aeromotive fuel pump was installed as well. When the engine mods were finally complete, the car put down 515 hp and 497 lb-ft of torque on the chassis dyno at just 8 pounds of boost. I haven't had a chance to run it at the track yet, but I don't think deep 11s are out of the question with the kind of power this car is making now."
The consequence of combining so much power with so much weight was that the stock TH350 trans had no chance of surviving. Furthermore, it was a gear ratio short for the type of cruising Bryan had in mind. Not wanting to fiddle around with electronics, he ordered up a heavy-duty 700R4 from Bowtie Overdrives. Next, to complete the street cruiser motif, he lined the entire interior in Dynamat and installed a Vintage Air A/C system. To put everything to the test, and have a whole lot of fun in the process, Bryan loaded up the Malibu just like the Grove family did back in the day and cruised cross-country to Wisconsin and back. "The car ran great and averaged over 16 mpg. That's not bad at all considering the minimal space that was between the floorboard and gas pedal for most of the trip," he jokes.
In perpetuating the Grove family tradition, the Malibu continues to rack up the miles on long and frequent road trips. It draws plenty of attention along the way, and Bryan revels in keeping onlookers guessing. "I took all the badging off of the car, so people have no idea what kind of car this is, and a lot of them think it's an Oldsmobile. I just tell them it's a Nova, and the confused looks on their faces is priceless," he says. Considering that Bryan is seven years younger than the Malibu, it's understandable if he's pondered trading it in for a new, hotter model. As Bryan adamantly affirms, however, that isn't going to happen. "Some people buy certain project cars because it reminds them of cars they grew up in, but my Malibu is the actual car I grew up in. It's the only project car I've ever owned and worked on, and I plan on keeping it that way. I still have the original 350,000-mile 350 at my dad's house, and it's a constant reminder of all the great times my family had in our Malibu."

As a military spouse with a husband who deployed to a combat zone last year, I'm also pleased to see the creative ways businesses are demonstrating support for our troops. And leave it to CMP fave pingg, a free online e-card service, to figure out a way to show thanks to our Armed Forces, but get the kids involved as well.
[EDITED TO ADD: Pingg is now Celebrations.com]
Teaming up with Operation Gratitude, an awesome charity that creates and sends over 100,000 care packages to deployed soldiers in combat, pingg is creating a very cool "Gratitude Collection" of cards that will be featured on their site and printed out for inclusion in OG's care packages. But best of all, they are seeking you and your kids' expressions–eight, to be exact–that will be featured on these cards.
Simply complete this sentence I'm grateful to the troops for/because… or share your own sentiments in 10 words or less and send them off to pingg.

I think the biggest pegwarmer around here now is the Galactic Marine, which I wouldn't have guessed at the beginning of the year. There are others that hang about quite a bit (Vader, Mace, Han, Biggs, and sometimes Luke). Actually, the Stormtrooper is a fairly easy find lately here as well.
Frankly, I'm shocked at the pegwarmers around the Mpls area. There are a few Obi-Wans, R2s, and Bens, which is to be expected. Vader is always available - not a surprise since there's 2 versions of him shipping between TAC and Legends. But I'm surprised to always see Galactic Marine, Airborne Trooper, Stormtrooper, and DS Trooper. People always complain that there aren't enough army builders, but when Hasbro makes them, no one is buying them up. I have 30+ DS Troopers at this point and I STILL see them all over the place.
I wish there was a cost-effective/time-efficient way to ship you guys our over stock. It would help us both.
I stopped at WM this weekend to check for the new comic packs, and its amazing to me to see the basic pegs filled almost exclusively with Biker Scouts.

"Watch this quarterback for us. He may be the best ever," I instructed Jay Shapiro, class of 1977 at Middlebury (father of Melissa '13), at the Middlebury-Amherst College football game on Parents' Weekend this fall.
Skeptical, he asked, "Better than Peter Mackey?"
The next week, Jeff Mackay '65 came through and I said the same thing to him. He replied, "Better than Charlie Brush?" acknowledging the best of his era.
Is Don McKillop, the Panther quarterback for the past four years, the best ever to play this position in over a century of football at the college?

Dan Walters: Legislature's anti-gun crusade runs afoul of Bill of Rights
As the California Legislature churned toward adjournment this week, it was considering – as usual – new laws to inhibit gun ownership, adding to what are already, for better or worse, the nation's most restrictive gun controls.
The centerpiece of this year's array of gun control bills is one that would allow police or family members to seek court orders to confiscate guns from people they believe to be prone to violent acts.
It was introduced in response to a shooting and stabbing spree earlier this year by a mentally disturbed young man in Isla Vista, home to a University of California campus, that left the killer and six others dead.
Californians already have upward of 20 million firearms, but ownership is regarded as a secular sin by those on the political left – hence a steady stream of measures, on any pretext, to make buying and owning guns more difficult and more expensive.
Advocates say strict gun laws prevent violent or criminal acts, but there is no empirical evidence that they do. And at some point restrictions on law-abiding gun owners run afoul of the constitutional right to bear arms that the U.S. Supreme Court has reinforced in recent rulings.
Earlier this year, a federal appellate court ruled that California's sheriffs and police chiefs cannot arbitrarily deny concealed weapons permits without violating constitutional rights and declared, in effect, that an upright citizen who meets reasonable standards of competency has a right to a permit.
Just a few days ago, federal Judge Anthony Ishii, who sits in Fresno, declared that the 10-day waiting period that California imposes on gun buyers is unconstitutional if the buyers already have acquired firearms legally or possess concealed weapon permits.
It's apparent from Judge Ishii's lengthy ruling that the state offered a very weak defense of universally applying the 10-day rule, since he repeatedly used the phrase "there is no evidence" to characterize rationales offered for the law by state attorneys.
One argument Ishii dismissed was truly bizarre. The state's attorneys contended that since firearms manufacturing and delivery methods were slow in 1791, when the Bill of Rights was adopted, there was a de facto waiting period for firearms, thereby justifying a legal waiting period now.
Ishii's ruling was the second legal victory this year for gun industry and gun owner groups that oppose the Legislature's ceaseless attempts to make gun ownership more difficult and expensive.
They routinely say during hearings that the pettifogging gun restrictions the politicians want to impose violate the Bill of Rights, but their warnings are routinely ignored by those who profess to be civil rights champions.
Federal judges, however, appear to be telling legislators that if they take their anti-gun obsession too far, they'll be slapped down.

Seprate State?
Is Alderny seprate from Liberty City or not? Because I see conflicting things about this...T-888 23:25, April 5, 2010 (UTC)
Alderney is because during Pegorino's Pride Niko said, If they're a Liberty City family, what are they doing here in Alderney. which means its a seperate stateGoaway0001 03:57, April 6, 2010 (UTC)
Okay thanks......T-888 20:55, April 6, 2010 (UTC)
If that's the only reference of Alderney being a separate entity (it's the only one I know of), then I see nothing in that line indicating it's an entirely separate state. I think it'd be more reasonable to assume it's a separate city, considering the manual calls it "Liberty City's ugly sister". I realize it's based on New Jersey which is a state, but a single city with a sister state? I mean, Las Venturas was based on Las Vegas, a city in Nevada, but it's still located in San Andreas, which is based on California. Ghost Leader 23:31, June 12, 2010 (UTC)
- San Andreas isn't directly based on California. It's not really based on anything. Alderney has been referenced as numerous things in GTA IV: as either a borough of Liberty City (actually Liberty City's metropolean area), Liberty City's "sister" and as a state. And there is this ongoing rivalry between Liberty City in Alderney in GTA IV, based on the real life rivalry between New York City and New Jersey. It's most logically a state rather than anything else (and it would also be weird if it isn't a state). -- Master Sima Yi 15:54, July 3, 2010 (UTC)
I think this page needs a move to "State of Alderney" to fit more in line with State of San Andreas. -- Master Sima Yi 15:56, July 3, 2010 (UTC)

United States District Court, D. New Jersey
March 15, 2017
JOSE A. VERGNE, Plaintiff,v.CAMDEN COUNTY JAIL, Defendant.
A. Vergne, Plaintiff Pro Se
Plaintiff Jose A. Vergne seeks to bring a civil rights
complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 against the
Camden County Jail ("CCJ") for allegedly
unconstitutional conditions of confinement. Complaint, Docket
Entry 1.
2. 28
U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2) requires courts to review complaints
prior to service in cases in which a plaintiff is proceeding
in forma pauperis. Courts must sua sponte
dismiss any claim that is frivolous, is malicious, fails to
state a claim upon which relief may be granted, or seeks
monetary relief from a defendant who is immune from such
relief. This action is subject to sua sponte
screening for dismissal under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)
because Plaintiff is proceeding in forma pauperis.
3. For
the reasons set forth below, the Court will: (1) dismiss the
Complaint with prejudice as to claims made against CCJ; and
(2) dismiss the Complaint without prejudice for failure to
state a claim. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(b)(ii).
Against CCJ: Dismissed With Prejudice
Plaintiff brings this action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. §
for alleged violations of Plaintiff's constitutional
rights. In order to set forth a prima facie case
under § 1983, a plaintiff must show: "(1) a person
deprived him of a federal right; and (2) the person who
deprived him of that right acted under color of state or
territorial law." Groman v. Twp. of Manalapan,
47 F.3d 628, 633 (3d Cir. 1995) (citing Gomez v.
Toledo, 446 U.S. 635, 640 (1980)).
Generally, for purposes of actions under § 1983,
"[t]he term 'persons' includes local and
state officers acting under color of state law."
Carver v. Foerster, 102 F.3d 96, 99 (3d Cir. 1996)
(citing Hafer v. Melo, 502 U.S. 21
(1991)).[2] To say that a person was "acting
under color of state law" means that the defendant in a
§ 1983 action "exercised power [that the
defendant] possessed by virtue of state law and made possible
only because the wrongdoer [was] clothed with the authority
of state law." West v. Atkins, 487 U.S. 42, 49
(1988) (citation omitted). Generally, then, "a public
employee acts under color of state law while acting in his
official capacity or while exercising his responsibilities
pursuant to state law." Id. at 50.
Because Plaintiff has not sufficiently alleged that a
"person" deprived him of a federal right, the
Complaint does not meet the standards necessary to set forth
a prima facie case under § 1983. In the
Complaint, Plaintiff seeks monetary damages from CCJ for
allegedly unconstitutional conditions of confinement. The
CCJ, however, is not a "person" within the
meaning of § 1983; therefore, the claims against it must
be dismissed with prejudice. See Crawford v.
McMillian, 660 F. App'x 113, 116 (3d Cir. 2016)
("[T]he prison is not an entity subject to suit under
42 U.S.C. § 1983.") (citing Fischer v.
Cahill, 474 F.2d 991, 992 (3d Cir. 1973)); Grabow v.
Southern State Corr. Facility, 726 F.Supp. 537, 538-39
(D.N.J. 1989) (correctional facility is not a
"person" under § 1983). Given that the
claims against the CCJ must be dismissed with prejudice, the
claims may not proceed and Plaintiff may not name the CCJ as
a defendant.
Plaintiff may be able to amend the Complaint to name a person
or persons who were personally involved in the alleged
unconstitutional conditions of confinement, however. To that
end, the Court shall grant Plaintiff leave to amend the
Complaint within 30 days of the date of this order.
Of Confinement Claims: Dismissed Without
Second, for the reasons set forth below, the Court will
dismiss the Complaint without prejudice for failure to state
a claim. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(b)(ii).
9. The
present Complaint does not allege sufficient facts to support
a reasonable inference that a constitutional violation has
occurred in order to survive this Court's review under
§ 1915. Even accepting the statements in Plaintiff's
Complaint as true for screening purposes only, there is not
enough factual support for the Court to infer a
constitutional violation has occurred.
10. To
survive sua sponte screening for failure to state a
claim[3], the Complaint must allege
"sufficient factual matter" to show that the
claim is facially plausible. Fowler v. UPMS
Shadyside, 578 F.3d 203, 210 (3d Cir. 2009) (citation
omitted). "A claim has facial plausibility when the
plaintiff pleads factual content that allows the court to
draw the reasonable inference that the defendant is liable
for the misconduct alleged." Fair Wind Sailing,
Inc. v. Dempster, 764 F.3d 303, 308 n.3 (3d Cir. 2014).
"[A] pleading that offers 'labels or
conclusions' or 'a formulaic recitation of the
elements of a cause of action will not do.'"
Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 556 U.S. 662, 678 (2009) (quoting
Bell Atlantic Corp. v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544, 555

My Ode to Summer

Thanks to Writerspace for inviting me to blog today! Here in Tennessee we're in the midst of a busy spring… on the superfast roller coaster to summer.

No matter what design, the goal of proposed changes to the intersection of U.S. 70 and Carolina Pines Boulevard is still the same.
No matter what design, the goal of proposed changes to the intersection of U.S. 70 and Carolina Pines Boulevard is still the same.
�Whatever we do, we have to be satisfied that we address the crash pattern problem,� said Haywood Daultry, a regional traffic safety engineer with the N.C. Department of Transportation.
About 50 Carolina Pines residents gathered for a DOT meeting of proposed redesigns of the intersection Tuesday night at the Township Six Volunteer Fire Department.
DOT is looking to redesign the intersection in response to 23 crashes at the junction from 2007 to 2012 that left one person dead and eight others injured.
One design is unchanged from when it was presented during a meeting in March. Carolina Pines residents would no longer be permitted to make left turns from the boulevard onto U.S. 70 East. Instead, drivers looking to head to Havelockwould have to make a right turn and then make a U-turn at a crossing just west of the main intersection. That crossing could also be accessed using the service road.
Residents also could turn right on the service road and make a left turn on U.S. 70 at a crossing just east of the boulevard and use a new acceleration lane that would be constructed.
The other proposed design is in response to comments from the March meeting. Left turns would be permitted from Carolina Pines Boulevard, but the deceleration lane for drivers turning right into the subdivision from U.S. 70 West would be moved slightly to allow for better visibility of drivers exiting the subdivision.
Daultry said the more involved design would have a crash reduction of 51 percent, but the simple rearrangement of the deceleration lane in the other alternative would have a crash reduction of 25 percent. The second design is also cheaper, at $160,000, compared to the original design that carries an estimated cost of $965,000.
DOT officials said that the less expensive alternative was a safety improvement, but just not as much. If it is built, the state would come back ever six months during a five-year period for an evaluation. If the crash pattern continues, the state could ultimately come back and implement its first choice as a solution.
Residents attending the meeting had mixed reviews of the two designs.
�I think that the safety engineers and the people that design highways have put a lot of effort into this,� resident Richard Cota said. �The plan has been put forth with a lot of thought, and I appreciate what DOT has done. I think the overall plan will help things immensely. I know a lot of people won�t agree with me, but it�s a good plan.�
Resident Leon Carmichael said that he would like to see the deceleration lane entering the subdivision set back so that traffic doesn�t block visibility.
�They�ve done their jobs, their homework and it�s got to work,� he said. �They�re not putting it out there to jeopardize people. Either plan we�ve got to live with. Our whole problem is we�ve only got one entrance and one exit.�
Resident Patricia DeMeo said she thought the meeting was just to appease the people.
�It doesn�t mean a damn thing. They�re going to do it anyway whether we like it or not, and it�s not going to solve the problem,� she said. �It�s going to cause more problems.�
DeMeo was one of a group of residents who want a traffic signal at the intersection. DOT officials have said a light in what they called a rural spot would not increase safety and pointed to what they said were successful changes to intersections along U.S. 70 in Newportwithout traffic signals.
That explanation did not sit well with resident Sue Roeckell.
�I just feel that over the years people have asked and asked,� Roeckell said. �In my opinion, they�ve had three meetings and they�re wasted. Nine out of 10 of us want a light. Don�t they listen?�
Other residents came away from the meeting satisfied.
�The actual meeting was a success as far as I�m concerned,� Ken Slagle said. �People got to voice their opinions. As I have said before, the only thing that�s going to correct this situation is to lower the speed of the automobiles. Their plan is fine. It�s not going to be any better or any worse, but it�ll happen. That�s for sure. They�ve made up their mind what they want to do.�
Dwayne Alligood, DOT district engineer, said the latest resident comments would be considered in choosing the final design. Should the less-involved changes that move the U.S. 70 deceleration lane be selected, construction could begin in early fall. He said if the original design is selected, work would likely not start until the spring.

Out There Radio – Episode 40: Those Crazy Occult Nazis
In this episode, we discuss the relationship of the Nazis to the resurgence of occultism in the late nineteenth/early twentieth century. Included are profiles of two "aryan occultists," Guido von List and Jorg Lanz, who influenced many key Nazi leaders. In Out There news, Austin returns to tell us about the *newest* Jesus Christ who also claims to be the Anti-Christ, and we talk a little about the supposed "lost tombs of Jesus Christ."

The options for Atlanta apartments are seemingly endless! What else would you expect in a city with top-ranking higher education institutions, a diverse economy that continues to grow, and a cultural arts community that rivals all major cities across the country? Whether you rent an apartment downtown or in an outlying area, you are well within reach of numerous local attractions and favorite local spots. Read on to explore this southern city affectionately known as Hotlanta and the ATL.
Atlanta Attractions and Culture
The renowned Georgia Aquarium is one of the world's largest, and a popular excursion among locals and tourists. Nearby, check out the iconic World of Coca-Cola, where you can take a tour and sample more than 100 different beverages. If art is more your speed, don't miss a trip to the High Museum of Art in Midtown Atlanta, or try the Fox Theatre for live performances.
Did You Know?
As a newcomer to the city, here are a few things to remember. When people make references to the "Perimeter," they're talking about Interstate 285 that loops around the city. You either live inside the perimeter or outside the perimeter, "ITP" or "OTP." Also, don't get confused by all of the Peachtree Streets, Avenues and Circles that you may encounter when traveling the metro area. According to the Atlanta Regional Commission, there are some 71 derivatives of the street name across the city. So, double check your directions before you venture out.
Best Places to Live in Atlanta
Here are our picks for the best places to live in Atlanta:
No matter where you decide to dig in, whether you score an industrial loft in the Westside or an eclectic apartment in Midtown Atlanta, you'll be impressed by this city's confluence of Southern heritage and modern flair.
Atlanta Transportation
Atlanta's public transportation system (MARTA) runs from the airport to Buckhead and beyond, plus east and west through the city's bustling neighborhoods. If you're milling about in the convention and entertainment district, you can catch a lift to the Sweet Auburn area using Atlanta's newest mode of transportation, the Atlanta Streetcar, which runs on a 2.7-mile loop.
Atlanta Business
If you've completed school and are now entering the workforce, you'll be pleased with Atlanta's growing economy and opportunity. Several Fortune 500 companies call Atlanta home, including Delta Airlines, Coca-Cola Enterprises and The Home Depot.
Fun Things to Do in Atlanta: Festivals and Events
Popular local events like Atlanta's Dogwood Festival attract long-time residents and visitors alike. Dogwood Festival artists and exhibitors come from all across the southern region to showcase their work. During the festival, the beautiful Piedmont Park turns into an outdoor, open-air art market featuring live music and food stands from local restaurants. Once you've moved in to your apartment in Atlanta, you can enjoy everything from festivals and the 10K Peachtree Road Race to the summer outdoor movie series, Screen on the Green.
Free Things to Do in Atlanta
It doesn't cost a thing to explore Centennial Olympic Park. It's home to the Fountain of Rings water feature that provides loads of fun for kids and serves as a cooling-off spot for park joggers, a mesmerizing backdrop for picnics in the park and the centerpiece for Atlanta events. For a feast for the eyes, head to Castleberry Hill in the Warehouse District and take the free guided tour of art studios and galleries.
Sports around the City
The ATL is famous for spectator sports, including MLB's Atlanta Braves at the new SunTrust Park, about 10 miles from downtown Atlanta. Bobby Dodd Stadium, located downtown, is home to the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. Other popular teams here include the Falcons NFL team and Atlanta United, the city's professional soccer team.
Family Fun in Atlanta
For a fun family outing, check out Zoo Atlanta, featuring two playgrounds and more than 1,500 animals, including giant pandas. For even more interactive fun, plan an afternoon at Imagine It! Children's Museum of Atlanta, geared toward children 8 and younger with exhibits designed to ignite creativity.
Higher Education
You can find an apartment for rent near one of Atlanta's premier colleges and universities. Pursue advanced education in engineering at the Georgia Tech and be a part of a community that's just five minutes north of downtown Atlanta. Or, study business in one of the top-rated programs in the nation at Emory University's Goizueta Business School. Spelman College and Georgia State University offer residents of Atlanta unmatched opportunities for education in a wide variety of disciplines.
Outdoor Living
This quintessentially southern metropolis comprises a number of great parks, including Piedmont Park, where you can take your pooch for a stroll, satisfy your competitive edge on the volleyball court or fill your grocery tote with fresh products at the Green Market.
Fun Day Trips from Atlanta
When you need to get away, pack your swimsuit and golf clubs and head four hours east to beautiful Hilton Head Island, SC. If cobblestone streets and horse-drawn carriage tours are more your speed, set your sights on Savannah, GA, just three-and-a-half hours east of Atlanta.

Almond Tea Cake Recipe
I don't make these sweet treats too often, because in my opinion (being from France where pastries are subtly sweetened), they're a tad too sweet. But they're perfect with a hot of cup of tea and I know my husband Lulu loves them. The concept of these cookies is to create an absolute overload of almonds. The cookie dough is made of chopped almonds, marzipan (honey and almond meal), almond extract, powdered sugar and a strong, floral honey.
I got the girls involved in rolling the cookies into balls and coating them in powdered sugar prior to baking. And once the cookies were baked, the girls dunked them one more time in powdered sugar to resemble snowballs.
Yields: 16 tea cakes4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
1 cup powdered sugar, as needed
1 egg, at room temperature
9 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons almonds, coarsely chopped
⅛ teaspoon nutmeg, freshly grated
2 teaspoons orange blossom honey
⅛ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
½ teaspoon pure almond extract
2 tablespoons marzipan
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Making cookie dough:
In a bowl, cream the butter and 2 tablespoons powdered sugar. Add the egg, vanilla and almond extracts. Mix until smooth. Add flour, nutmeg and salt. Mix well. Add honey, chopped almonds and marzipan. Mix until the cookie dough is formed.
Baking cookies:
Place the remaining powdered sugar in a small bowl.
Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or a sheet of parchment paper. Using a melon baller, form 16 balls of cookie dough. Roll the cookie balls in powdered sugar and place onto the baking sheet. Make sure to space the cookies about 2 inches apart so that they don't touch each other as they expand when they bake.
Bake for 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and while still hot, dunk the cookies in more powdered sugar.
Allow to cool completely.
Enjoy with a cup of tea.
Bon appétit!
I used Odense brand marzipan. I love it for when I need a shortcut; it produces delicious pastries.
You can store the cookies in an airtight metallic tin for up to 3-4 days to keep them fresh.Published By: on April 12, 2013.

Jenelle Evans ties the knot?!
Another nuptial surprise for the "Teen Mom 2" crew! Radar Online reports that Jenelle Evans got hitched today, in a courthouse wedding, to her fiancé, Courtland Rogers, just weeks after getting engaged to her relatively new flame. The 20-year-old Evans seems to be following in the footsteps of her sister, who also got married right before she was 21.
Though it comes as a bit of a shock, a look back at a seemingly innocuous tweet from this morning might show a bit of foreshadowing. "Omg this should be very interesting... :D ," she said. Just a few minutes ago, she posted the above picture picture to her account--and we think we see a ring on Courtland's finger! "@courtyb11 took me out to Olive Garden and asked the waiter to take the pic, lmao. Don't ask about my eyes... Weird." Could it be a post-wedding celebration dinner? Time will tell!

I Want One of Those: All Wired Up
If you were to suffer a bone fracture after a hip replacement, here's something you'd want your orthopedic surgeon to use: a combined clamp and wire-passing device that makes it easier for a surgeon to encircle fractured bones with wire and cables without damaging surrounding soft tissues, blood vessels, and nerves. When designing and prototyping the device, Amy Couture '14, Bianca Jackson '15, Bridget Shaia '15, and Freddy Yang '14 consulted with Dr. Robert Cantu, an orthopedic surgeon at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, and Dr. Michael Mayor, a Geisel School of Medicine professor and Thayer adjunct professor. The students won the Phillip R. Jackson Prize for outstanding performance in ENGS 21: "Introduction to Engineering." Their teaching assistant was Ariana Sopher '14.

Hamilton, IN – Farm Works is proud to release formula-based prescription generation with its Pro module. The new formula-based prescription generation provides growers and agribusinesses powerful yet easy-to-use prescription generation tools. Prescriptions can be created off of any type of precision agriculture data, including grid or management zone soil tests, yield and any other data. Users select the product they wish to vary (such as a fertilizer) and then select attributes that they wish to use (such as pH test results). They can then enter the desired formulas to create the variable rate application map.
Formulas follow standard formatting such as what spreadsheet programs use and can be written for use with a wide list of variable rate application devices. These formulas are simple and intuitive. Formulas are saved in XML file formats and can easily be exchanged between different users, as would be the case if a crop consultant were to create formulas to give to a customer.
Formula-based prescriptions are included in Version 2010 of Pro. Current Farm Works customers who are on an Update Service Plan receive this new functionality for free as a part of their Update Service Plan.
For more information, contact Farm Works Software, Box 250, Hamilton, IN 46742, 800/225-2848, www.farmworks.com.

Build Up for an Edible Structure
Expect to see towering skyscrapers and leaning Towers of Pisa decorating your table when you do this fun activity with your child. Learning how to see the world and then translate it into 3-D can be challenging when in the two dimensional world of paper and pencils or crayons. This activity encourages a child to sculpt in free form with the only rule that they have to build 'up'.
What You Need:
- Mini marshmallows
- Toothpicks
What You Do:
- Try helping to build a small shape to get your child started. Stick 4 toothpicks into 4 marshmallows to build a square (with the marshmallows forming the connectors).
- Next, have your child start moving his sculpture 'up'. Place 4 toothpicks vertically into the marshmallows with another set of marshmallows on each end.
- Repeat your first square and connect the marshmallows. You now have a 3D square which can form the base of a tower or even perhaps a house.
- Let your child's imagination take over from there!
Did You Know?
- The resulting sculpture is an example of three dimensional artwork made by combining hard material with a plastic material (this material is mimicked by the marshmallows.
- Sculptors also create sculptures out of stone, wood, glass or metal. Their art is often painted.
- Spending time discussing local public artwork in parks and plazas with your child is a great way to get him thinking about structures. After building structures in three dimensions young artists may start noticing three dimensional shapes in local architecture.
Not only will your child love playing (and eating!) marshmallows, but he'll learn a bit about construction as well. Kids don't often get the chance to work on what teachers call "visual spatial skills"-- in other words, they don't often get to work on being able to think in physical space. This is a great project to get them thinking in 3-D!
