Two University initiatives highlight entrepreneurship
By : Eric Coker
A pair of University initiatives are bringing entrepreneurship to the academic forefront.
The first initiative, Entrepreneurship Across the Curriculum, is aimed at students and modeled after the successful Languages Across the Curriculum. Small stipends will be given to faculty members who agree to offer an entrepreneurship component on a continuing basis in their classes.
The second initiative will help faculty members who are considering starting their own business. Zhihao Yang, CTO and co-founder of NanoMas Technologies, will serve as special adviser for entrepreneurship and work with faculty.
Eugene Krentsel, assistant vice president for technology transfer and innovation partnerships, called the enterprises "some of the most exciting entrepreneurship initiatives to come out of Binghamton University."
Krentsel was scheduled to unveil the initiatives — which are sponsored by the Office of Technology Transfer and Innovation Partnerships and the N.Y. Center of Excellence (S3IP) — Nov. 4 at the Southern Tier Business and Entrepreneur Conference on campus.
In Entrepreneurship Across the Curriculum, faculty members will be able to submit proposals to a committee made up of faculty from various departments and representatives from groups such as Catalysts for Intellectual Capital 2020 (CIC2020).
The committee, which is chaired by H. Stephen Straight, professor of anthropology and linguistics, will decide which projects will be funded.
"Our role as sponsors is to get the ball rolling, and leave decision-making to the committee," Krentsel said.
"Every discipline has the opportunity to have a component of entrepreneurship added to a syllabus — be it nursing, arts, science or engineering," Krentsel said. "If you are a sculptor, you may eventually open your own gallery. If you are pre-med, you may run your own clinic at some point."
Faculty members will be required to devote a certain minimum of class hours to the entrepreneurship component, said Krentsel, who stressed that faculty members need only adjust their syllabi to provide a "teaser" to get students interested.
"Faculty are independent on how they design their courses and we don't want to stifle their creativity on that," he said. "If they want to have a guest lecturer in the class, it's up to them, as long as the class has that component."
Krentsel hopes students will go to faculty members and encourage them to apply for funding.
"This is not a new major or minor; this isn't even a certificate," he said. "This is truly going across the curriculum. We are seeing a lot of interest from students. Every student I've talked to has been incredibly excited. CIC2020 was ecstatic."
The Entrepreneurship Across the Curriculum committee hopes to receive proposals in December and make funding decisions by January 2010, said Ken McLeod, a committee member and bioengineering professor.
The initiative is a small, but key step in helping to revitalize the economy, McLeod said.
"We're hoping that the entrepreneurial-thinking faculty will step forward and introduce this in their classrooms," he said. "That may encourage students to take other courses with a focus on entrepreneurship or meet with entrepreneurship graduates.
"You have to start small and let this grow," he said. "It's not going to happen overnight, but hopefully over the next 10-20 years, we'll see the revitalization of the upstate economy through hundreds, maybe thousands of ventures started by our graduates."
NanoMas Technologies is one such successful venture at the University: A business that began and thrived in the Innovative Technologies Complex's Start-Up Suite.
Yang will impart his wisdom as special adviser, offering hands-on help, encouragement and explanations to faculty members unsure how to proceed with their own business plans. Yang, who has agreed to serve as the adviser for six months, will have his own office on the second floor of the Innovative Technologies Complex.
"He wants to give back to the University and feels strongly about the opportunities we provided his company to grow in our Start-Up Suite," Krentsel said. "It's great for us to have someone who can not only teach it, but say, 'Hey, I've been there. I started one. Here's what it took.'"
The entrepreneurship initiatives are one way to plant the seeds of future growth, Krentsel said.
"In order to make a difference, there has to be a critical mass," he said. "We're not pushing students to abandon other plans and become entrepreneurs. But we want to expose them to the fact that this is something you need to know. You may like it and you may want to try it."

The humble coconut comes from what Pacific Islanders have called "The Tree of Life." The light, highly absorbent oil of the coconut has some amazing properties. It's antioxidant, anti-fungal, anti-viral, and anti-bacterial. Coconut Oil also promotes a youthful appearance by moisturizing and softening the skin and is even used as a hair treatment by many cultures. Its often underrated due to its relatively low cost (in comparison, Kukui Nut Oil costs over $150 per gallon). Dont be fooled by its price; coconut oil is wonderful on your skin.
Natural coconut oil has a melting point of 76 degrees Fahrenheit, which means below that temperature, where most of us prefer to live, its solid.
We use this oil because of its superior healing and moisturizing properties and we put up with the inconvenience of its melting point. If yours becomes solid, just place it in a sink of warm water for a few minutes and it will turn back to liquid (NEVER use a microwave). It may be warmed this way repeatedly with no harm done to the oil. On behalf of Mother Nature we apologize for this inconvenience
Let our passionately hand crafted bath & body treats transport you to paradise. Just choose the fragrance of your destination, lather up, and off you go....
Kick it on a sunbaked beach, explore the lush rainforest, take a refreshing dip in the ocean, or go for a romantic stroll through an exotic botanical garden. Relish in the life force of the ocean breeze as it wafts heavenly floral notes to the accompaniment of a waterfall gently splashing in the distance.
All these virtual vacations are but a shower away!

Thank you so much for letting me be part of your testing group. It was great fun and I feel like I helped create something really special (the new formulas). I can't wait to try some of the other fragrances now ;-)
Victoria S.
I received my order today and the wonderful fragrances in your soaps are allowing me to experience Hawaii all over again. I bought them for my husbands birthday in August (he went nuts for the coconut-mango soap on our recent visit to Oahu -- the pineapple is my favorite) but I think I may not be able to keep them a secret. I might give him one of the bars tonight.Also, your shipping to California was FAST, FAST, FAST. Bravo! The box and wrapping paper smells good too! No wonder the guys in the mailroom here at eBay have a smile on their faces today!
Thanks again.
Best regards,Arlene B. Senior Content Manager, eBay Inc. Thank you so much. Your soaps are FANTASTIC!!!!
Hello Richard, our order has arrived today! It was so fast! Great job, thank you so much. What lovely, fantastic products! Our company smells wonderful from your products, like Maui
Monica Pfäffli, Harmony World GmbH, Switzerland
Aloha! My husband bought a bar of your pineapple soap at the airport on our way home from Australia - (he had already purchased 16 bars of tropical soap earlier) when i mentioned how many he already had he stated that 'this one smells the best - it's like real pineapple!' So, we came home and he started using some of the other soaps and in the last week opened your Clearly Hawaiian Pineapple soap and i haven't heard the end of since - and yes, i most heartily agree you have the best soaps!!!

Archive for the 'Buick LeSabre Grand National' tag
More from the Tri-shield side of GM
As with any gathering in a national meet format, the swap meet tends to be somewhat sizeable. With two Buicks sitting in the garage back home, the temptation to scrutinize the vendor booths like a hawk over a wheat field was impossible to pass up. Unfortunately – or fortunately, depending on the point of view of my better half – my wallet remained in its stowed position. But that didn't mean that I wasn't forced to stop and reconsider my financial position.
Problem one: For some time now, my goal has been, in the very least, to see with my own eyes some of the rarest Buicks ever released to the purchasing public. I was able to cross the 1982 1/2 Grand National Regal off the list last year when I stopped just south of Pittsburgh to photograph one for Muscle Machines (it appeared in issue #49, October 2007). Eluding me, however, has been the 1986 LeSabre Grand National. NASCAR fans of Eighties will recall that teams dumped the aging Regal body for the sleek LeSabre beginning with the '86 season. As a result, Buick offered the LeSabre coupe with a non-turbo 3.8-liter V-6 (reportedly, trans durability issues developed in the turbocharged prototype). Well, sitting in the car corral was one of the 117 LeSabre GNs produced, though some sources list as few as 112. Not the best photo, however take a look at the special rear side window cover, and just visible is the GN badge on the fender; the emblem is different than the one on the Regal GN. I didn't want to know the asking price.
Problem two: This 1965 Gran Sport convertible. Before leaving Vermont, my wife and I had talked, albeit loosely, about getting ourselves into a project car. Being a fan of convertibles, I figured it would be easier to convince her that this project would be worthwhile. After much consideration on the state of marital bliss, I left the GS in Flint on the trailer I found it strapped to.
According to the seller, the automatic-equipped car was decorated with a 3.31 Posi, power steering, power brakes, power windows, power top and tilt wheel. Also, there was mention of a hardtop parts car, an extra front clip, six (yup, six) front fenders, two doors, an extra hood and deck and front wheel moldings.
Power windows and top were confirmed (power top was standard anyway), as was the tilt wheel. But what concerned me was mention of the single four-barrel intake manifold setup. Moving around to the exposed engine bay, and what do my wondrous eyes behold – dual quads. Um, last check, the '65 GS was built with a single four-barrel 400 (actually, the nailhead 401 – refer to Muscle Machines issue 59, August 2008, Buyer's Guide). Funny considering that the seller also mentioned that the car sported matching engine, trans and Protect-o-plate – I know, the block casting number matches trans, etc.
The asking price was $8,000, and the seller was willing to part with the dual-quad setup for $600. Furthermore, with all the extras offered, plus new bumpers and an extra dash cluster, the asking price seemed to be pretty reasonable. Once completed, the value could be as high as $47,000.
Wishful Thinking….
Not long ago, David Adolphus and I were heading up north to conduct a photo shoot, when out of the corner of my eye I saw what appeared to be a rather rare Buick. It has taken me another two weeks to get back to the site of interest.
With the initial quick glance that I had, I could only assume that it looked like a 1986 Buick LeSabre; not your every day Plain Jane, but rather the black with black trim, one of 112 or 117 made (depending on which report you read) 1986 LeSabre Grand National. Yup, check again, the car was a factory option. NASCAR fans may recall when the Regal body style was parked after the 1985 season in favor for the LeSabre, so the street Grand National edition was released in limited numbers in 1986, even though the Regal GN was still in production. I have only seen one previously, at the 2003 Centennial BCA National Meet in Flint.
The other special option it could have been was a 1986 Century Gran Sport – also in black – however the body style is different enough for Buick enthusiasts to catch right off the bat. The end result? Just a LeSabre that encountered something harder than the left-front sheet metal. Oh well, the search continues – have you seen any?

For some Malaysians, coming up with new ideas and inventions is not a problem. It's getting them to market that's the problem.
WHAT are the odds of Malaysia having or producing its own Steve Jobs?
"Two in a billion," according to Nazrin Hassan, CEO of the Cradle Fund, an agency under the Finance Ministry that offers funding to entrepreneurs, researchers or innovators to either develop their ideas into prototypes/proof-of-concepts or to attain commercialisation.
But that does not mean Malaysia lacks enterprising or innovative individuals like Jobs, who was recognised worldwide as a businessman and inventor. And chances are these Malaysians might be developing their ideas in the confines of their garages.
To Bugs Tan, inventing comes naturally as he is forever thinking of ways to solve mechanical problems. So far, his inventions have included a gadget that reduces dust on fan blades and another to generate fresh, cool air outdoors.
The dust-busting Fanfurtais (as it is known) is now being sold in a popular supermarket for RM9.90 each.
Tan says he also developed an award-winning litewalk grating system for use on the platforms of oil rigs - and he did not even go to college or university.
He worked with his father's company, which dealt with agricultural engines, he says. "That was my university, so to speak, and I also read a lot."
"Innovation comes from the need to solve a daily problem," says Dr Raslan Ahmad, CEO of Yayasan Innovasi Malaysia (YIM) or the Malaysia Innovation Foundation.
"The source of innovation can come from anywhere," he adds.
A government-initiated foundation operating since February 2010, YIM has been entrusted with the task of developing and promoting creative skills in the field of science and technology in academia, industry and society, and to nurture and support scientific innovation at grassroots level, particularly among youths, women and non-governmental organisations.
Through its Jejak Innovasi (Innovation Walk) programme - three were held last year, one each in Malacca, Sabah and Sarawak - YIM has come across many Malaysians who have garages as their labs. Some of these garage-based "inventors" have come up with various devices and contraptions to solve daily problems.
One such innovation, a multi-user truck powered by a 150cc Vespa engine, was discovered in Ayer Hitam. The truck can be used in peat soil and is able to lift vehicles stuck in mud and to transport agricultural fruits such as palm oil.
This was just one of 41 inventions discovered during the YIM Innovation Walk.
"Many (inventors) don't even have scientific background and knowledge. They just rely on logic to solve problems," says Dr Raslan.
At a polytechnic in Merlimau, students have built a prototype fire nozzle - a long rod with holes that allow water to be sprayed in all directions - to put out underground fires.
"People think that research and development can only happen in high-level labs. But even Bill Gates worked from his garage before," Dr Raslan points out.
He adds that most of the innovations discovered in Sabah and Sarawak were linked to agriculture.
This year, YIM has planned for another seven Jejak Innovasi events around the country.
Prof Emeritus Tan Sri Dr Augustine Ong of the Malaysian Invention and Design Society (MINDS) points out that the creator of the pen drive Phua Kein Seng is a Malaysian.
Besides Phua, there are many other Malaysian inventors who have made it big but their achievements might not be publicised, adds Dr Ong.
For example, Datuk Dr Chan Kok Ewe, the CEO of Island Hospital in Penang, has done ground-breaking research on cobra venom and Dr Choo Yuen May has contributed to the palm oil industry, Dr Ong highlights.
"Many Malaysians don't know about them, unfortunately," he says, adding that we should not copy others if we want to be successful.
Dr Ong also cites the growth of the annual Invention Innovation and Technology Exhibition (ITEX) as evidence of Malaysians' inventiveness. First held in 1979 with just 50 exhibitors, it is becoming more competitive every year, he says.
Last year, there were 720 exhibitors and they are aiming for 1,000 exhibitors this year, he adds.
He also says that five years ago, three teenage girls came up with the idea of a food cover that can kill germs with ultra violet light. An American investor signed up with them.
Nazrin feels these Malaysian inventions and inventors remain unrecognised because "we always use Silicon Valley as a reference".
"Technology wise, we always have Apple and Google as benchmarks. But we must have a sense of perspective," he says.
"It's like saying that if you don't play golf like Tiger Woods, then you are not good in golf. But even if you have a single handicap, you are good."
Malaysian companies such as biotech firm Holista Caltech and digital research firm Pulse Group, he observes, have done well internationally.
"The companies might not be of the magnitude of those in the Silicon Valley yet but they are successful and serve international markets such as the United States, Oman, Bahrain and Brazil," he adds.
Cradle gives funds of up to RM150,000 to develop ideas into a prototype, or RM500,000 for those with a technology-based product with great commercial potential. It also provides business know-how to aspiring innovators.
From 2010, they have granted 457 companies funds to develop their prototypes and another 52 companies to commercialise their products.
One of the ideas they picked up for commercialisation is a technology developed by a Malaysian company to reverse rubber waste to its virgin compound.
"It's a world-class technology," declares Nazrin.
But being an inventor in Malaysia comes with many challenges, something that many of our home-grown innovators can readily attest to.
One common grouse is the lack of an "ecosystem" for inventors.
"If we don't support innovation, we will never be able to produce our own Steve Jobs," Tan says.
"We also need a conducive environment."
Nazrin agrees, saying: "In the US, if a 19-year-old develops a software (program), he can go to a venture capitalist who will provide guidance."
He explains that the environment there is more forgiving and failure is not considered to be the end.
"If you have failed several times, you are considered to be more of a success than someone who has never failed," he says, adding that an innovator or inventor would also need advice on business strategies and introductions to potential clients and patrons.
Another problem, says Dr Raslan, is that most Malaysians tend to relate formal innovation to science and technology, while the non-technical innovations are often overlooked.
"We will end up as followers if we follow this narrow path," he opines.
But the most problematic of all is the lack of funding to turn the new inventions into commercial products.
Nazrin believes many Malaysians are still unwilling to invest in start-ups because of the perceived risk, pointing out that the rich can still invest in property.
Arul Jothy, managing director of technology development and licensing company NGLTECH, agrees, saying the real challenge is commercialisation and market acceptance, which require a lot of resources, including financing.
"Without proper funding, even the best ideas won't see the light of day," he says.
He says his company has come up with five proprietary technologies at various stages of patenting.
Mainly applicable for the upstream oil and gas industry, these technologies could improve the recovery of crude from oil and gas developments, reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions as well as improve economics of developments, including marginal fields, Arul explains.
They developed their first proprietary system about seven years ago but could not commercialise it due to lack of funds. An application for financing with MOSTI two years ago was unsuccessful.
"We had to self-finance our development and commercialisation efforts. It was a real struggle and we were on the verge of giving up. Only recently, we managed to implement two of our technologies for an overseas project which is now operating very satisfactorily. Another two systems are being implemented and we were recently awarded pioneer status by MIDA."
Arul believes there is always a perception that home grown ideas are inferior to those developed overseas.
"It has been an uphill task to implement the technologies both due to poor market perception of Malaysian-developed technologies and lack of financing," he laments.
In a blog posting, former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad wrote that "Malaysian businesses and people generally do not believe local products are any good and would reject them outright simply because they are Malaysian inventions."
Tan says he is having a difficult time getting funding for machines to mass produce his litewalk grating system, which has received recognition in the form of awards from the Asia Invention Association and Cyber International Genius Inventor Competition.
Using the same material as in conventional steel grating, his system is lighter by 35%, stronger by 12% and, more importantly, cheaper, he says.
For now, he is depending on a friend to make his product piece by piece.
Tan suggests that the Government offer tax incentives to companies who support inventors.
"The ideas are there but I can't find industrial players who are interested."

Brookins can for sure get it down and get the sub. He has some nice throws and trips and has to avoid some bombs to get the clinch. Tough fight but not impossible.

Damn. I don't see this going well for Brookins. It'd be crazy if he actually asked for this himself.
2/17/11 4:25 AM by Monojoe
Good tough first fight for Brookins. I hope he has enough tools on his belt to win but I suspect he may fall short in the stand up aspect of the fight. I wonder who he pissed off to get this match up.

Brookins will be going to sleep. He lets himself get hit way too much and a heavy hitter like Stephens will knock him out cold.
2/17/11 12:43 AM by KevinMcAllister
since when is stephens job on the line? he just flatlined marcus davis.
2/16/11 8:31 PM by croy_00
Not sure Brookins can finish Jeremy standing. Both good fighters but I think Stevens could take this one. Brookins has crazy heart but Jeremy knows this is his job on the line. Very tough fight for both guys.
2/16/11 8:15 PM by rekam
if thats the case im betting a ton on stephens. no way he loses this fight...
2/16/11 7:55 PM by ZugZug
I can't decide who I want to see lose more. Both are annoying.

Oh Do Kwan competitors medal at host event
Competitors from host school Oh Do Kwan Martial Arts earned awards at last weekend's Atlanta Challenge Taekwondo Championships held at Trinity Christian School against opponents from throughout Georgia as well as from Alabama, South Carolina and Tennessee.
At least seven students from the Newnan school won first-place awards in sparring to go with six who earned sec- ond and four more in third against top- level competition, according to Master Joaquin Bonilla.
"Some of our students went up against opponents that were national champions or had more tournament experience or even outweighed them by several pounds," he said. "No one backed down. Despite a few mismatched fights, our students knowingly and willingly went into it and banged away. They finished their fights and won the respect of their opponent and everyone else, especially me."
Both Oh Do Kwan's Newnan and Fayetteville's schools competed in the host event, with Bonilla thanking parents, volunteers and coaches for what he called a "successful" tournament.
Winners in respective age groups for sparring included Darius Soto, Cole Gerken, Rhea Patel, Tunoa Lolotia, Katie Steadham, Ian DiGiacomo and Zander Duerkoop.
Cahner Thompson, Evan Craig, Cahner Thompson, Evan Mustain, Daelyn Soto, Hankyu Kim and Ethan Devers all finished as runners-up in sparring. Third place finishers in sparring included Micah Dell, Matthew Dell, Michael Sangster and Jacob Harris.
All the above students also medaled in forms competition.

An elderly man was shocked and puzzled this week when he helped deliver a litter of kittens, and found a Chihuahua puppy in their midst. Pensioner Jia Weinuan, 74, delivered five young from his three-year-old cat Niu Niu, her fifth and largest litter at their home in Xuzhou City, in east China's Jiangsu Province. Weinuan said he personally delivered all five young, but did not notice that a puppy had found its way into the kindle of kittens until several days later. He said that both he and his wife have no idea how the Chihuahua puppy ended up with the cat litter, but added that he is certain that he delivered it himself. Weinuan also ruled out the possibility that Niu Niu mated with a dog, because his cat was placed in the care of his friend, and also because it is impossible for the two species to produce offspring together. The pensioner said: "I sent Niu Niu to my friend's house personally for her to mate. She was put in a cage with a male cat for two days. He would never have put her with a dog." He added: "In all my years, I've never heard of dogs and cats mating. But I am certain that I hand delivered this Chihuahua as there were five babies, and when I looked more closely later there were five babies. This is very confusing. I hope the media reports this and we get some sort of explanation from a scientist."

Maybe it's just Mario Chalmers' shot.
For the second time this series, Chalmers nailed a half court shot to end the first quarter. This one though, unlike Game 3's, was entirely legal.
The interesting thing about it is that Chalmers' shot gave the Heat their first 30-point quarter since Game 5 of the Boston series. That's 24 quarters that have passed since it happened, and it took a miracle 3 from Chalmers to get it done in this one. Pretty crazy.
Also pretty crazy: How good Chalmers evidently is at this shot.

400-million-year-old fossilised plant 'brought back to life'
A graduate student in the Department of Integrative Biology and Museum of Paleontology at UC Berkeley has done what may seem impossible to many - he digitally reconstructed plants which were thought to be long extinct.
Jeff Benca is an admitted uber-geek when it comes to prehistoric plants, so it was no surprise that, when he submitted a paper describing a new species of long-extinct lycopod for publication, he ditched the standard line drawing and insisted on a detailed and beautifully rendered color reconstruction of the plant.
This piece earned the cover of March's centennial issue of the American Journal of Botany.
Benca described this 400-million-year-old fossil lycopod, Leclercqia scolopendra, and created a life-like computer rendering. The stem of the lycopod is about 2.5 millimeters across.
"Typically, when you see pictures of early land plants, they're not that sexy: there is a green forking stick and that's about it. We don't have many thorough reconstructions," Benca said.
"I wanted to give an impression of what they may have really looked like. There are great color reconstructions of dinosaurs, so why not a plant?" he added.
Benca's realistic, full-color image could be a life portrait, except for the fact that it was drawn from a plant that lay flattened and compressed into rock for more than 375 million years.
Called Leclercqia scolopendra, or centipede clubmoss, the plant lived during the "age of fishes," the Devonian Period.
At that time, lycopods - the group Leclercqia belonged to - were one of few plant lineages with leaves. Leclercqia shoots were about a quarter-inch in diameter and probably formed prickly, scrambling, ground-covering mats.
The function of Leclercqia's hook-like leaf tips is unclear, Benca said, but they may have been used to clamber over larger plants. Today, lycopods are represented by a group of inconspicuous plants called club mosses, quillworts and spikemosses.
Both living and extinct lycopods have fascinated Benca since high school. When he came to UC Berkeley last year from the University of Washington, he brought a truckload of some 70 different species, now part of collections at the UC Botanical Garden.
Now working in the paleobotany lab of Cindy Looy, Berkeley assistant professor of integrative biology, Benca continues to establish a growing list of living lycopod species, several of which will eventually be incorporated into the UC and Jepson Herbaria collections.

Crime, Patrick Fitzgerald, Rod Blagojevich
Former Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich has been charged with corruption for — among other things — allegedly attempting to sell Barack Obama's vacated Senate seat to the highest bidder. Blagojevich has not been hiding from the public eye. Since being charged, he has appeared on the Late Show with David Letterman and competed in The Celebrity Apprentice (Donald Trump fired him in the fourth episode).
The trial is set for June 3. Blagojevich's defense team is sparring with federal prosecutors over the 500 hours of recordings from secret FBI wiretaps, and how they should be used at trial. The big-haired former governor wants jurors to sit through 200 hours of tape.
Blagojevich's love of being on camera has not faded. He has a J.D. from Pepperdine, but must have a certification in spin and cliché from some other venerable institution. He issued a challenge to U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald at a press conference on Tuesday. The bombastic display drew media cameras, but didn't do much to bring the judge around to his side. A round-up of Blagojevichisms from Tuesday's press conference, after the jump.
Video of the press conference is on NECN. Here are some choice quotes from Blagojevich's attack on federal prosecutors.
– "In their proffer of lies, they are now hitting below the belt and attacking my wife."
– "They are cowards and they are liars."
– "The government is sneaking into court tomorrow to file a motion to keep all the tapes from being heard."
– "There's a smoking gun on those tapes."
– "They're covering up that big lie that foreseeably led to a chain of events that stole a governor from the people of Illinois and undid the will of the people."
– "I'm here today to issue a challenge… I challenge Mr. Fitzgerald. Why don't you show up in court tomorrow and explain to everybody, explain to the whole world why you don't want all those tapes that you made played in court? I'll be in court tomorrow. I hope you're man enough to be there too.
Federal prosecutors were "man enough" to "sneak" into court and explain why they don't want to bore jurors to tears. The judge agreed with them. From the Chicago Sun-Times:
"I will not allow the legal equivalent of a head butt," said U.S. District Judge James Zagel, who made it crystal clear that he — and only he — will decide which secret FBI wiretaps will be played at Blagojevich's trial.
"I will not have the time of these jurors needlessly consumed," Zagel said of playing all 500 hours of recordings.
Future jurors rejoice.
Blagojevich's loose relationship with the law might be explained by this quote (via Wikipedia): "I went to law school at a place called Pepperdine in Malibu, California, overlooking the Pacific Ocean — a lot of surfing and movie stars and all the rest. I barely knew where that law library was."

Former 4-star wide receiver returns to West Virginia
[dropcap]W[/dropcap]ide receiver Ivan McCartney, who left West Virginia in November, is back on campus and will return to the team for his final season of eligibility.
Dana Holgerson confirmed that McCartney will begin summer classes on Monday and attempt a comeback attempt with the Mountaineers..
"Second chances are few and far between," Holgorsen told the Charleston Daily Mail. "This kid's got an opportunity to right the ship. Maybe he makes the best of it. Maybe he doesn't."
McCartney (6-2, 185) was a 4-star recruit selected to play in the U.S. Army All-American Game and the nation's No. 5 wide receiver by Rivals.com out of Miramar (Fla.) High School in 2010.
After playing in in 12 games as a freshman in 2012 with just one catch, McCartney appeared to be on his way to living up to his high profile billing, catching 49 passes for 585 yards and three touchdowns as a sophomore.
But his production, which had dipped over the second half of the season, fell off the map the following year.
McCartney played in eight games as a junior last season, catching just nine passes for 112 yards.
He started in place of the injured Stedman Bailey against TCU, but quit the team before the Nov. 10 game at Oklahoma State.
McCartney should be a welcome addition to a Mountaineers receiving corps short on experience. Bailey and Tavon Austin, both gone to the NFL, accounted for 2,911 receiving yards and 37 touchdowns last season, and the team's third-leading receiver, D.J. Woods, was a senior.
WVU's leading returning receiver is sophomore Jordan Thompson, who caught 13 passes for 85 yards last season. The Mountaineers inked six receivers in the 2013 recruiting class.

Edward Myers Egan, who passed away in May 2012, was a descendant of Dr. Bartholomew Egan, a figure of historic interest in Louisiana. The Egan Collection includes letters and documents from Dr. Bartholomew Egan and other members of the Egan family that provide valuable information to researchers interested in the history of the Baptist denomination in Louisiana, Confederate medical history and daily life in 19th century rural north Louisiana.
According to NSU Archivist Mary Linn Wernet, the Egan Collection documents Dr. Bartholomew Egan's life from the time before he emigrated from Dublin, Ireland, to Virginia, where he received medical training, was a prominent educator and converted to the Baptist faith. After moving to Mount Lebanon, in 1847, he was instrumental in founding the Louisiana Baptist Convention and Mount Lebanon University, the first university in north Louisiana. Dr. Bartholomew Egan served as surgeon general and head of the state laboratory under the Confederate government of Louisiana.
"After Dr. Egan received a land grant to settle in Bienville Parish, he established Mount Lebanon as a Baptist college for men," Wernet said. "We have letters from Ireland and as he moved from there to Virginia and Louisiana. We have official and family letters from Mount Lebanon days and into the Civil War when he was surgeon general."
Dr. Bartholomew Egan's granddaughter, Miss Lavinia Egan, who was born during the Civil War and died during World War II, is credited with gathering and preserving many of the letters and documents that make up the collection, Wernet said.
"Lavinia moved to Shreveport and was an advocate for women's rights and a historian who maintained the collection," Wernet explained.
"The papers have been researched by historians not only interested in Bartholomew's life but also in Mount Lebanon as the first school of its kind in the area and because of the medical research that took place there. It was a place where they conducted pharmaceutical research and developed compounds to treat the wounded during the Civil War, so there are professors of pharmacy interested in information on the school's medical practices."
The Cammie G. Henry Research Center is housed on the third floor of NSU's Watson Library and contains Louisiana books, rare books, archival materials, NSU Archives, microfilm, maps, newspapers and oral history tapes. Most collections focus on Louisiana history with documents ranging in date from the founding of Natchitoches in 1714 to the present. The Egan collection has already been utilized in three thesis documents by graduate students.
The Egan family established a relationship with the Northwestern State Archives in the late 1960s when they became aware that the university maintained archived documents specifically related to Louisiana history. At that time, a portion of the Egan papers was entrusted to former archivist Katherine Bridges to be microfilmed. Edward Egan established a monetary trust for the Archives in the 1970s and through the years provided financial support to the Cammie G. Henry Research Center by funding shelves and materials needed to preserve documents.
"The Egan family did not have a particular connection to Northwestern, but they felt it important that we are able to preserve not just their collection, but all the collections, letters, documents and maps for future scholars," said Abbie Landry, director of Eugene P. Watson Memorial Library. "As strong an archive as this is, this type of donation makes it even stronger."

'We're shifting from a buyer's market to a seller's market'
EUGENE, Ore. -- A bottomed out real estate market in Lane County coupled with an increase in demand from home buyers has tipped the housing market in favor of sellers and builders.
Kelly Ritz, the president of Stone Bridge Homes NW, recently sold a model home in southwest Eugene. She said that the shift has been in the works for quite some time.
"Everything has been very slow for a while. In fact, if you look at the Eugene market and Lane County, there are about 600 homes on the market right now ... only 35 of those are new," Ritz told KVAL News, before opening the doors to the model home for Stone Bridge Homes NW.
In just under two weeks, the Regional Market Listing Service recorded a market shift in the Eugene. With 500 homes on the books, 42 of them are listed as new home construction projects.
"The rest of them are used. They're existing, they're foreclosed, they're short sales. It's the existing inventory from 1902 until the crash of 2006." said Ritz as she lead KVAL's Ty Steele on a tour through the kitchen of the model home. Ritz has sold nine Stone Bridge Homes sold in the Timberline Hills of southwest Eugene.
That is the year Ritz said her company slowed down home building and focused on surviving the Recession. But now she said the market has bottomed out and is just reaching a tipping point for sellers and builders.
"I think I have the belief that things are going to get better," said Ritz.
As the housing market starts to rebound, home prices have started to rise. The median sale price for a home in Lane County so far this year listed by the Regional Market Listing Service is $177,000. Last year's median sale price for the same time period was $174,900.
Prudential residential broker Marcia Edwards said this market trend is good news for real estate agents and home builders.
"We're shifting from a buyer's market, where's there's abundant opportunity and supply and little demand with all the opportunities in the world as a buyer, to a seller's market," said Edwards, gesturing to a home she just sold on Vista Heights Lane in southwest Eugene.
Even with median home sale prices now on the rise, Edwards said low interest rates and flexible lending still makes it a good time to buy. Edwards added that the market has just begun this shift.
"As we see more people buying homes, putting more sub contractors to work, paying more fees to cities and counties, it all helps the economy," said Ritz. "So, I think we're on our way up."

This game, as a cinematic scifi loving experience is absolutely beautiful.
You sweep over volcanic wastelands, alien desert plains, snow fields and industrial planet-scapes. My biggest regrets is that this game doesn't have a cheat that allows the pre-rendered scenery to just roll on buy. It's absolutely beautiful.
The music, pretty hardcore techno sounds, fits the feel of the game well, which gives off that CyberPunk feeling the 1990s did so brilliantly.
I was, if I'm honest, bang on the money with regards Psygnosis' Novastorm game play. It's a memory test shoot'em up, with sprites overlaid on pre-rendered back drops. It's not always easy to see what you're shooting at or what you are aiming at, or indeed how you are aiming. Great portions of the game have your craft, the Scavenger 4, pressed against either the side or the bottom of the screen avoiding seemingly unavoidable enemy fire.
The controls aren't great, the power-ups are best described as meagre. They don't accumulate, don't appear very often and don't help much.
The end of level bosses, while fitted with the 'shoot me here to kill me' imagery are imaginative and well realised and in some cases look stunning.
So, as a game it's not up to much, as an experience and journey it's priceless.
Medium rare - like my steaks!

How to Pick an Ashram in India. ~Sonja Bjelland
Many times while in India I heard people say they would just go to Rishikesh and find an ashram. Traveling on the subcontinent requires that attitude, but ashrams aren't just any hotel with four walls and a shower over the toilet. Some have a long list of rules but offer near silence (as close as one can find in India.) Others are more lax and social, but also more noisy.
It takes a bit of the self-knowledge that yoga brings to pick a yoga vacation or ashram that works for you.
After two weeks at Parmarth Niketan, I'm transitioning to yoga resort life at SwaSwara, south of Goa, India.
But before I left Rishikesh's yoga hub, I checked out a few other ashrams in the area.
This isn't about what's better or what's worse. It's what type of experience you want.
It's tough to find out what some of these places are really like, but I'll do another post later about researching them and, quite frankly, that's why I created this site.
For some people, Parmarth Niketan can be too loud, crowded and focused on Hinduism. Statues of gods and goddesses fill the property. Part of our classes included Hindu texts. Chants invoke Shiva and Vishnu. But that's only in the yoga program. Otherwise, visitors can attend 6 a.m. yoga, 5 p.m. meditation, a service on the banks of the Ganges and meet with Swamiji afterward.
It worked for me because I wanted to be around people after traveling by myself for several weeks. I also found it interesting to learn about Hinduism from its core followers. The location allowed me to have outside food options, the Internet and contact with bits of India. But it was India-lite. I was only dodging cows and motorcycles intead of rickshaws and cars as well. But that's not everyone's wish and other ashrams offer some variety.
The similarly named Yoga Niketan ashram, also in Rishikesh, rises above the busy main street with bucolic grassy lawns dotted by yoga students in white on their mats.
The staff did not speak English well so I could not get some questions answered, and one woman struggled to even check-in. For 600 rupees a night ($13 US) visitors receive three meals and a long daily schedule of meditation and yoga from 4:30 a.m. to 9:15 p.m. Only for the serious yogi, they require a minimum two-week stay. It's farther from places to go outside the ashram and the afacing street is busy and leads straight to a rickshaw depot. But that makes it easy to reach. Well, until you have to climb the hill.
In its serious nature, Yoga Niketan also has a strict code that, again, will make some people cringe and some smile. Going back to the translation issues, guests are called "inmates" on the list of rules and regulations that includes a ban on electronics and musical instruments and latecomers are not allowed to enter classes. The rooms were cleaner but just as basic.
Only a short walk up the same road, the Omkarananda Ganga Sadan Yoga ashram overlooks the Ganges River. The security guard would not let me inside and said they were booked full so he could not show me a room.
From what I could see, the spotless lobby has seating that overlooks the river and a small store that sells various products so people do not have to venture into the hectic marketplace down the street. They require a 3-day minimum stay and rooms are 350 rupees without air conditioning and 1,000 rupees with it. They offer Iyengar yoga classes from 6 to 7:30 p.m.
Down closer to the footbridge sits the more well-known Sivananda/Divine Life Society ashram…

I spent 5 months at Yoga Niketan Ashram and it's not as strict as the rules imply. While there, there were guitars, ipods, computers. You could come and go throughout the day as you pleased, could skip yoga and mediation as often as you liked. This was a couple of years ago though, they may have gotten stricter. I know the teachers that were there when I was have rotated out and some of the office staff as well.
It was what I needed it to be at the time. As with everything, you get out of it what you put into it. I wanted a place to study asana and meditation and that's what I got. Other's wanted to be able to say they spent a couple of weeks at an ashram in India and that's all they got.
The very core of your writing while appearing agreeable initially, did not really work very well with me personally after some time. Someplace throughout the sentences you managed to make me a believer unfortunately just for a while. I still have a problem with your leaps in logic and one might do nicely to fill in all those gaps. When you can accomplish that, I will definitely end up being fascinated.
I discovered your internet site via research engine a few moment ago, and luckily, this can be the only details I was looking for the last hours

I'm planning on taking a 4 day/3 night ramble on the Art Loeb in Late September. Starting at the boy scout camp and heading to the davidson river campground.Any Idea about average temperatures then? I'm hoping for 60's during the day and probably 40's at night, but on the ground experience would be great. I tend to overpack clothing wise and would like to hear what people would bring.Water sources? I'm pretty sure I can find water heading towards shining rock gap, read good info about water sources there. But heading over black balsom bald and down towards deep gap, I'm not too sure about water. After Deep Gap, I'm pretty familiar with the water sources.Any tips, tricks, recommendations would be great!
I would say your guess about the temps are probably pretty close. I've been up there in October and the temps were starting to dip down in the 30's at night. So my guess for late September would be mid 40's at night. Probably upper 60's during the day. As far as water, there isn't too much on the boy scout end of the trail. There are a couple small springs around shining rock gap, one right on the trail on the boy scout side of shining rock, and the other where the big east fork trail comes up on the left just before shining rock gap. Don't remember any water sources around black balsam, unless u take side trails 1+ miles over to the yellowstone prong or flat laurel creek.
Paul - How was your trip? I'm planning a similar trip next week and would value your insight.Thank you.James
Sadly, I got rained out. I was up in Brevard a couple of days before and all sorts of things went wrong coming up to the trip, primary being a major system rolling through, dumped about 3" in 24 hrs. Enjoy your trip!Paul

Richmond, VA Used Car Dealer
Welcome to VA Cars Inc., the undisputed best used car dealer in Richmond, VA. Since opening in 2011, we have sold thousands of used cars, trucks, and SUV's because we treat anyone shopping for a used car just the way we would expect to be treated. We don't carry the huge overhead expenses that other dealers typically have, so we're able to get you in a great used car at a great used price. Our dealership has become so successful so quickly that we've already opened a second location. We now have dealerships on both Ruthers Rd and Midlothian Tpk, so if you want to save money, don't buy a car from anyone else until you've visited either of our Richmond dealerships.
Carmax Richmond Price Guarantee
We know that a lot of people looking to buy a car in Richmond check with the big dealers like Carmax to see what they have for sale. I worked for some of the biggest car dealers before opening VA Cars, and learned a few lessons along the way. For example, big dealerships like Carmax have high costs (lots of salespeople, high rent for property, etc.) and they make up for it by having high prices. Even if a vehicle seems like a good deal, they're still making huge profits off the people who buy their cars. We're the Richmond dealership who does business the right way, so we offer a Carmax price guarantee. We will beat any used car deal that Carmax has offered you. Don't believe it? Come in and let us make you an offer that will have you smiling when you drive home in your new car!
Thank you from myself and everyone else at the dealership, and I hope to earn your business on your next used car purchase.
Brian Schrimpsher

Onion Browser brings encrypted mobile browsing to the iPhone
In an era when security is at the top of our minds, mobile web browsers seem to be lagging behind. There are few options for secure web sessions on smartphones, but a new iPhone app called Onion Browser is changing that. Onion Browser connects to the Tor network to encrypt all your data.
The Tor Onion router network is essentially a series of virtual tunnels that your connection will bounce through before reaching the destination. While connecting through Tor is slower than a non-tunneled connection would be, it has the upshot of making it almost impossible to monitor your activity online — it's the closest you can get to anonymity online.
A website you visit using Onion Browser won't know your real IP address, and you can circumvent most firewalls while using it. Not even your ISP will be able to make heads or tails of your web usage. Onion Browser allows you to manage local cookies dynamically. If you want to block all or some of them, that option is just a tap away. Of particular interest is Onion Browser's New Identity feature, which clears the local cache and pulls down a new IP address immediately.
Onion Browser is open source, so if you're the coding type, you can take it apart and see how it works. Since iOS is a walled garden, the app is made available in the App Store, but it isn't free. According to the developer, Mike Tigas, a portion of the $0.99 sales price will go to the Tor Project and the Electronic Frontier Foundation. He isn't specifying how much that share will be, but at least it's something.
As far as I'm aware, this is the most secure mobile browser available, and it requires very little configuration. Android has a few options for Tor browsing, but they require root access and are difficult to set up.
The Onion Browser is currently iOS only, but Android users can still hope.
Get it at the App Store

DSU (17-9) will open the eight-team, single-elimination tournament in San Bernardino, Calif., on Thursday, Dec. 5 versus third-seeded UC San Diego (25-5). Match time will be noon Pacific Standard Time (1 p.m. Mountain Standard Time).
"Amazing, this is a well deserved opportunity for our players," said second year head coach Robyn Felder. "They have worked so hard for this reward and do everything they can to win."
The Red Storm, who tied for third in the Pacific West Conference standing with a 14-6 league record, are one of two PWC teams selected for the West Regional. Conference champion BYU-Hawaii (24-1 overall, 19-1 PWC), with whom DSU lost their lone match to during the regular season, are seeded second in the regional.
The opening-round match-up with UC San Diego will be the first meeting between the two schools. UC San Diego also finished in third place in the California Collegiate Athletic Association. DSU has won nine of their last 11 matches and the Tritons have lost two of its last three.
Also aligned on DSU's half of the regional bracket for possible opposition in a regional semifinal is second-seeded BYU-Hawaii and seventh-seeded Alaska Anchorage (21-9). DSU lost to BYU-Hawaii in three sets earlier this year and lost to AAU in four games in 2012.
Tournament host CSU San Bernardino completed its regular season 25-5 overall and is the champion of the California Collegiate Athletic Association at 21-1; its eighth consecutive title. The Coyotes enter the NCAAs having won 22 of their last 23 matches. They open with Central Washington at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday. CWU handed the Coyotes a five set loss earlier in the season. The other match-up pits fourth-seeded Sonoma State (25-5) against Great Northwest Champion and fifth-seeded Western Washington (23-3).
Regional semifinals would take place on Friday (Dec. 6) at 5 and 7:30 p.m. Pacific (6 and 8:30 p.m. Mountain), with the championship match to be held at 7 p.m. Pacific (8 p.m. Mountain) on Saturday, Dec. 7.
The entire regional will be played in the Physical Education Building, also known as "The Den," due to Fall commencement ceremonies taking place in Coussoulis Arena on Dec. 7.
The NCAA West Region champion advances to the Elite Eight, held Dec. 12-14 at U.S. Cellular Arena in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and hosted by Upper Iowa University.

By BRENDAN McGAIR
Sports writer
PAWTUCKET – Which Alfredo Aceves will PawSox fans get to see on Thursday night?
Will they see a pitcher who is prone to coming apart at the seams when things go south on the mound, or will the Aceves who in good times with the Red Sox made his mark as a starting and relieving option show up?
Thursday will mark Aceves' first appearance on the rubber since last Tuesday's 13-0 rain-marred debacle at Fenway Park. The troubled pitcher has been in Pawtucket since last Saturday and in the eyes of manager Gary DiSarcina has been a model citizen.
"For him, the time off has probably done him some good … get his mind straight and his career back on track," said DiSarcina. "He's fit in pretty well here."
Standing at his coaching perch at third base during the closing stages of Tuesday's 15-inning contest against Columbus, DiSarcina recalled looking up and seeing Aceves still sitting in the stands and recording pitches. Dressing in a PawSox sweatshirt and black shorts, Aceves was still applying pencil to paper when infielder Drew Sutton was on the hill for frames 14-15.
"He was doing what he was supposed to be doing," said DiSarcina. "There have been zero issues with him."
Pawtucket pitching coach Rich Sauveur stressed that from a mechanical standpoint, there's nothing wrong with Aceves, who was 1-1 with an 8.66 ERA in five games with Boston.
"He's done a great job since he's been here," said Sauveur. "We've just got to make sure that he goes out there and focuses on what his job is to do. He'll set a goal of what he wants to do when the game starts and make sure that he accomplishes it."
Aceves will be on a pitch count that ranges between 80-85. Thursday marks his first appearance with the PawSox since the 2011 season.
"I want to contribute where I am right now. Obviously I want to have a good outing; that's all I want," Aceves expressed on Tuesday. "It's very important for us to shut them down, score some runs and win the ball game."
