This year's issue of Food, Media, and Culture presents a new batch of excellent undergraduate research that is concerned with the political, social, and cultural implications of representations of food in media such as cookbooks, television, and the internet.
The articles in our fourth issue seem at first glance to have nothing in common. In "Comparing Culinary Queens: Paula Deen, Giada De Laurentiis, and Femininity on the Food Network," Dana Bramble shows how female hosts of TV cooking shows cater to the expectations of hegemonic femininity although the hosts in question seem decisively different in their gender performance. Samantha Ruggirello, in "Creating a 'Palatable History': African-American Cookbooks as Political Texts," presents a fresh contribution to the scarce scholarship on community cookbooks, focusing on texts compiled by the NCNW (National Council of Negro Women). Lindsay Sandoval in "Icing on the Cupcake: Baking, Blogging, and the Promise of New Domesticity" discusses how cupcake-themed blogs reflect a neoliberal revival of domesticity. And Samantha Theriault in "Julia Child, Feminist?" assesses Julia Child's political potential by comparing how she has been received by feminists of her own time and more recently.
What unites all four articles is their concern with questions of femininity and cooking advice, revealing a complex power dynamic where the two come together. While traditionally cooking advice confined women to the kitchen, it also granted female authors authority and expertise. As the four texts show in their historical and comparative analyses, authors of cooking advice use this authority to challenge racial stereotypes, or dominant ideals of femininity. But they demonstrate, too, that cooking advice also has been and remains complicit in constructing and distributing the same stereotypes and expectations. As some of these examples show, resistance and affirmation of hegemonic ideals are not necessarily mutually exclusive but can go hand in hand. Dana, Samantha, Lindsay, and Samantha"s texts are therefore not only interesting as contributions to the field of food studies but also to the study of gender.

Paula Deen and Giada De Laurentiis are two celebrities on Cable TV's The Food Network who have amassed fame through cooking television shows, books, and tours. Their many accomplishments are admirable, especially given that Deen and De Laurentiis achieved success in an industry dominated by male chefs. But it appears that Deen and De Laurentiis gained fame in the male-dominated world of cooking by perpetuating traditional feminine tropes. This paper will explore how Deen and De Laurentiis both subscribe to and subvert gender norms through their portrayal of femininity. Read More

This paper illustrates how community cookbooks written by the National Council of Negro Women (NCNW) are powerful political texts. Focusing on two cookbooks—The Historical Cookbook of the American Negro published in 1958 and Celebrating Our Mothers' Kitchens: Treasured Memories and Tested Recipes published in 1994—this article will show how these texts by the NCNW did justice in honoring African-American public figures and celebrating black motherhood. It was important to disseminate knowledge on black history and motherhood at a time when both subjects were silenced and distorted by Anglo-centric historical discourse. This paper reveals how the NCNW used food as a vehicle to celebrate the African-American experience and dispel racist stereotypes in the cultural climate of the 1950s and 90s. Read More

Despite impressive strides in the workforce, many women are fleeing careers in the corporate world and returning home to perform domestic housework. This shift to the domestic sphere is evident in the rising number of "cupcake bloggers" who have left high-power jobs to create blogs that deliver advice on cooking and other domestic matters. Cupcake blogs have emerged within the context of "New Domesticity," a movement that celebrates an appropriation of traditional house- and craftwork. This paper analyzes the role of womanhood in cupcake blogs to unpack the economic, social, and gender discourses underlying cupcake blogs fueling the New Domesticity movement. Read More

In the mid-twentieth century, Julia Child revolutionized the act of cooking for women by treating it as an art form and career rather than domestic labor. Feminists of the 1960s and 70s, however, might not have perceived Child's work in the kitchen as supportive of second-wave feminist ideals. It was not until the twenty-first century that Child truly gained respect as a leader in feminism and a challenger of gender norms. Yet, the modern-day acceptance of Child as a third-wave feminist hero is flawed given that Child's career alienated the gay community and women of the lower classes. This paper explores the changing perceptions of Child as a feminist within the context of second-wave and third-wave feminism. Read More

To reach a 20th anniversary is a major accomplishment for any band--and in 2017, STS9 will officially hit that milestone.
Following their multiple-night takeovers in Los Angeles, Austin and Chicago already this year, acclaimed and adventurous electronic rock band STS9 announced today (2/7) the dates for their spring "Get Loud Tour," named for the lead single off their latest full-length album, THE UNIVERSE INSIDE.
Sound Tribe Sector Nine has been a uniquely special force in the music world for many years now. Their evolution as musicians has been as other worldly as the content of their music. Like any true long lasting band, evolution is necessary for longevity. Innovation has been at their forefront for two decades. Their energy and creativity is what brings loyal fans back to see them time and time again.
The new dates come on the heels of STS9's kickoff to their headlining Fall Tour in support of THE UNIVERSE INSIDE, which began this past Thursday, October 20 in Minneapolis.
Music transcendency is often times the result of relentless patience, self-awareness and significant hours mastering technique. Crafting a product that reflects these characteristics can often times be a daunting task for artists, and for many musicians the perfect composition often times doesn't translate in the studio. For Georgia-based jamtronica pioneers STS9 however, this enigma may have finally been mastered.
STS9 today (10/3) announced a three-night New Year's celebration run at the Fillmore Auditorium in Denver for Thursday, December 29, Friday, December 30 and Saturday, December 31.
STS9 released their 6th studio album, The Universe Inside, on their homegrown label 1320 Mission Control on September 2, 2016, and it represents their first such release since Ad Explorata was released in 2009. This would also be the first release for "STS9 2.0" with Alana Rocklin since her taking over the staggering bass responsibilities for STS9 following
Following the official announcement that their new album, THE UNIVERSE INSIDE--the band's first new full-length studio album in nearly seven years--is coming September 2, acclaimed electronic rock band STS9 has now revealed dates for a fall headlining tour in its support.
The members of STS9—Hunter Brown (guitar/sequences), Jeffree Lerner (percussion), David Phipps (keyboards/synths), Zach Velmer (drums) and Alana Rocklin (bass)—went through a lot over the course of making this record.
The 16th annual Summer Camp Music Festival shined vibrantly Friday morning, as fans from across the nation flooded through the gates of the glorious Three Sisters Park in Chillicothe, Illinois for another epic celebration of music, arts and life.

Ratings for Dr. Richard S. Davis
Dr. Davis is the best doctor I've ever been too. With multiple medical issues and hospital stays I don't know how and why I would still be alive without Dr. Davis. With great sadness he's retiring and I don't know what kind of medical treatment I'll receive. He's the most caring, and knowledgeable doctor around. God bless and take of this man always. He's so deserving.
In 2011, I was hospitalized with pneumonia. My primary physician at the time was unavailable so Dr. Davis was the principal attending physician. After seeing what a knowledgeable, caring physician Dr. Davis was, I asked him if he would accept me as a patient notwithstanding that he hadn't accepted any new patients for 2 years (as he had promised his wife). He relented and agreed to accept me as a patient. As another reviewer noted, Dr. Davis is extraordinarily hard-working (perhaps he is one of those lucky people who don't need more than a couple of hours of sleep), frequently showing up at 10 or 11 PM. It will be a great loss to all his patients if the destruction that Obamacare will cause precipitates early retirement by Dr. Davis.
The best doc on earth. Knowledgeable in all aspects of medicine, explains everything, spends as much time as needed, listens. You will find this doc in his office late at night, at the hospital all hours. He's the best.
Dr. Davis is the best doctor I have ever had. He is truly dedicated to the welfare of his patients and it is common to get a phone call from him when you are ill to find out how you are doing. They don't make them like this anymore. There is a waiting list of people waiting to become his patient. Oh, and he carries a reduced load of patients so he can spend more time with each one. He really listens to you, and explains things so that you understand. On a scale of 10, he's 20!

TPWD News Release — Sept. 30, 2013
WICHITA FALLS – Seventy-four years after he was laid to rest in a crudely marked grave in Riverside Cemetery, a slave-turned-vaunted-Indian fighter who made his home in Wichita Falls will finally receive official state and military recognition on Saturday, Oct. 5.
Buffalo soldier Felix L. Lindsey, who died at the age of 92, received three wounds in the Indian Wars while fighting for the 10th U.S. Cavalry during the U.S. Army's pursuit of hostile tribes on the Western frontier. Lindsey later recounted how in 1885 after his regiment captured Geronimo in Arizona, he had a face-to-face confrontation with the elusive and feared Apache chieftain as Geronimo negotiated his surrender. A leg wound led to the end of Lindsey's 11-year military career in 1893, while he was serving in the Hospital Corps at Fort Sill, Okla.
A Community Memorial Service will be held at 9:15 a.m. at 800 Jalonic St., the site of Lindsey's Wichita Falls home in the African-American neighborhood, where he and his wife Mary Tillman raised nine children. The former Army sergeant, whose mother was mulatto and father a full-blood Creek Indian, was a respected member of the community who along with family members operated a drapery cleaning and house cleaning service. The memorial service will include the laying of a wreath and placing of a U.S. flag, as well as a presentation by Rosieleetta Reed, president of the Texas Buffalo Soldier Association.
"The amazing part of this story is the perseverance of two white men, the Greenwoods, who helped bring recognition to a black man, Felix Lindsey, who was a slave and became a buffalo soldier," Reed says. "Felix was a humble man, who didn't brag on what he did, such as helping capture Geronimo. He served his country and community with quiet grace."
At 10 a.m. at Riverside Cemetery, 1810 Seymour Hwy., members of the association, Texas Parks & Wildlife Department's state parks, law enforcement, wildlife, and the inland and coastal fisheries divisions, and Sheppard Air Force Base Honor Guard will pay homage to Lindsey at a military honors ceremony, followed by the State Historical Marker unveiling. The marker is the result of a tireless campaign for Lindsey's recognition by Wichita Falls resident Mark Greenwood, whose father Arch interviewed the then 90-year-old Lindsey for a story that ran in the Wichita Falls Times-Record in 1937. On hand for the marker unveiling will be Lindsey's granddaughter Doris Ford and great granddaughter Ann Wyatt.
Following the graveside ceremony, a reception will be held at the Museum of North Texas History, 720 Indiana Ave. Representatives of Fort Richardson State Historic Site will host a Buffalo Soldiers exhibit and the museum theater will show a Buffalo Soldiers documentary.
The public is invited to attend any of the Lindsey commemorative events.
Buffalo soldiers, so-called by Indians because the black soldiers' hair reminded them of bison, were former slaves and freedmen who comprised the 9th and 10th Cavalry and 24th and 25th Infantry Regiments formed in 1867 after the Civil War. Buffalo soldiers, reputed to be fierce and skilled fighters, served at frontier military posts from Texas to the Dakota territories to help with the westward expansion of the United States.
Ken Pollard, former president of the Texas Buffalo Soldier Association and founder of TPWD's Texas Buffalo Soldier program in the mid-1990s, is the coordinator of the Lindsey project that shines a light on the forgotten legacy of the African-American military experience. Pollard helped secure legislative support for the designation of July as Buffalo Soldiers Heritage Month and creation of the Texas Buffalo Soldiers Heritage Trail that incorporates historical sites operated by TPWD and the Texas Historical Commission.
"Felix Lindsey's accomplishments after his Army service demonstrates his determination to succeed when he started his own cleaning business and was well liked by those who used his services," Pollard says. "All was good until the Great Depression hit, but the old sergeant held true to the 10th Cavalry's 'Ready and Forward' motto by taking a job as a special delivery agent for the Wichita Falls post office."
Pollard says two of the primary goals of TPWD's Buffalo Soldiers Program headed by Luis Padilla, are to tell the buffalo soldiers mostly forgotten story and add more inclusiveness in the activities and workforce of the agency.
The Felix Lindsey Memorial Project is being made possible through the local support of the City of Wichita Falls and the Wichita County Historical Association.

That's not to say the days are numbered for the company's most established dancers. No, I expect we have several more years to watch the likes of Cervilio Miguel Amador, Janessa Touchet and Sarah Hairston. But "New Works" is about revelations. Not just choreographic revelations.

This is a story about grief and all the emotions it entails. A successful businessman attempting to resurrect his life buys and boards a dilapidated sailboat in a remote area on the shore of one of the Great Lakes, North America. A business associate comes to urge him to return to work, but relents when he sees his state. This is when viewers get more of a hint of the tragedy that he has experienced. Rather than push him further, the associate agrees to let him take all the time he needs. He passes the winter in this desolate location grieving desperately and gradually repairing the boat though other boaters have left for the winter. In the meantime, he makes friends of a widower sailor and a world-weary waitress at the marina. Through the slow moving yet beautiful and well played drama in this gorgeous lake setting, viewers come to know how he has reached this point in his life. By the early spring, he is feeling stronger and is ready to face society again. He sells the sailboat, now…

The Value of Setting Up a Trust for Your Children
August 15, 2016 | Your Finances, Home and Family
The thought of your minor children growing up without you is enough to bring a lump to any parent's throat. You plan to be with your children to see them grow and enjoy life, but what if something happens to both you and your spouse? You have hopefully planned to leave money for your children through life insurance. What about who would become their legal guardian? If you have significant life insurance and/or assets, your minor children could become wealthy overnight. How would they handle that responsibly?
The answer is that they would need help.
You can take one critical step now to empower yourself to have a say in how your children are raised, no matter what. By creating a will with a trust component, you will be able to choose who acts as a caretaker for your children, who handles their finances and how the assets should be distributed to reflect your wishes.
What Happens Without a Will and Trust
If you and your spouse die without a will, or die with a will that names your minor children as beneficiaries, your money doesn't go directly to them. A court will select a guardian to oversee the money. The law determines how the money may be spent, and anything outside those parameters requires court approval. In most states, as each child turns 18, he or she will be given full control of the money.
The idea of a young person having that much responsibility scares Ruth Driscoll, director of Advanced Planning at Northwestern Mutual. "Think of the emotional hurricane these children are in after losing a parent or parents. It's easy to get your head turned around after suffering a catastrophic life event, and that is where a trust comes in and why it can be so crucial. You can bring some order and routine into the lives of your children at a time when they need it most."
If you've avoided a trust because you don't know whom to name as your child's trustee, Driscoll urges you to pick someone: "You can always change it, and documents can be revised. But I'd rather have a name down than leave it up to a judge to pick someone after I'm gone. You have no idea who that judge is going to pick. You, the parent, have the power, so use it."
The Benefits of Taking Control With a Trust
Setting up a trust or a will with a trust component to it is one way to take back some control of how your children will be provided for should you and your spouse die. A trust is a legal agreement that puts someone else (whom you can choose), called a trustee, in charge of the assets you are leaving to your children. Control of your assets is then handed over to your children at a time that you have pre-determined they should gain full access.
Driscoll adds, "It does take more time to set up a trust, but it will allow you, the parent, to decide who is going to manage the money for your children; and you can advise them how to do it as you would. The control factor is a huge benefit." Driscoll says a trust allows you to control:
- Whom the trustee or co-trustees would be—meaning you can pick someone who is money savvy or capable of hiring someone to manage money for your children. This person does NOT have to be the same person that you are choosing to raise your kids.
- When your children will gain full access to the money you've left them. It doesn't have to be at age 18 but could be at age 25 or 35, when they've finished college or have gotten settled in a career, etc.
- The guidelines within which your trustee will operate. This guidance often follows something known as the "HEMS" standard, Driscoll says, meaning health, education, maintenance and support. You, as the parent, can also clarify in the trust that you want extra money released at age 16, for example, so your child may purchase a car, or at age 18 for college or for the expenses of a wedding.
Trusting Your Trustee
Not everyone is cut out to be a trustee for your children's money. The selection can be stressful if you aren't sure what to look for in a trustee, but Driscoll offered these items as a checklist:
- Someone who thinks about money and raising kids the same way you do—and who loves your children. This will help them provide financially for your children as you would. The trustee does not need to be the same person who will act as the caretaker for your children. In fact, Driscoll says, choosing different people for the roles can offer a check and balance for your children as they grow.
- Someone who understands money management and knows when to ask for help. Trusts can involve things like investments and taxes. If your perfect trustee isn't qualified to do these things on his or her own, you want to make sure he or she would know how to seek the help of a professional. Driscoll often suggests that a family member and a corporate trustee work together as co-trustees to assure professional money management and sensitivity to income tax consequences.
- Someone who is the best choice for your kids, regardless of whether he or she is family or not. Driscoll also recommends you speak to your potential trustee to make sure he or she is up for the job.
It's Time to Try a Trust
If you've already taken the step of purchasing life insurance to protect your family financially, taking the next step to create a will with a trust component can offer increased protection. If you've been putting it off because of the expense, know that sending your child to summer camp is often more costly than creating this document.
If you've been putting it off because you are a procrastinator or don't want to have conversations about your own mortality, know that Driscoll has seen more than one client tear up during the process. "But when they're done, they say, 'Whew!' It's a huge relief—because in the back of your mind you know you're leaving a mess if you don't take the time to have these things drawn up." This process empowers you and your spouse to know your children will be provided for in a way that you both approve of.

LG Panther/GW910 will make its way to the US market. Although there is no official confirmation as to which US carrier will receive this Windows Phone 7 device, there is a good indication that it'll be AT&T bound. As for a release time frame, US consumers can expect to see this handset arrive after LG's planned handset is launched in Europe – so probably some time in November. With August winding down and fall quickly approaching, it shouldn't be long now before we see everything fall into place.LG isn't going to sit around and wait for the competition to fly by past the number three handset manufacturer in the world because they intend on being the first to launch a Windows Phone 7 powered smartphone. Actually, our friends over the big pond in Europe will probably be the first to get a tasting for Microsoft's next generation platform with this upcoming LG handset. The company is intent on bringing their handset to market before rivals Samsung and HTC, however, the 3.8" device they're planning to release will be based on the Optimus-line – which will lack a physical QWERTY.

M. Othman, Razib and Deris, Safaai and Md. IIlias, Rosli (2008) A genetic similarity algorithm for searching the Gene Ontology terms and annotating anonymous protein sequences. Journal of Biomedical Informatics , 41 (1). pp. 65-81. ISSN 1532-0464

Official URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jbi.2007.05.010
A genetic similarity algorithm is introduced in this study to find a group of semantically similar Gene Ontology terms. The genetic similarity algorithm combines semantic similarity measure algorithm with parallel genetic algorithm. The semantic similarity measure algorithm is used to compute the similitude strength between the Gene Ontology terms. Then, the parallel genetic algorithm is employed to perform batch retrieval and to accelerate the search in large search space of the Gene Ontology graph. The genetic similarity algorithm is implemented in the Gene Ontology browser named basic UTMGO to overcome the weaknesses of the existing Gene Ontology browsers which use a conventional approach based on keyword matching. To show the applicability of the basic UTMGO, we extend its structure to develop a Gene Ontology -based protein sequence annotation tool named extended UTMGO. The objective of developing the extended UTMGO is to provide a simple and practical tool that is capable of producing better results and requires a reasonable amount of running time with low computing cost specifically for offline usage. The computational results and comparison with other related tools are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm and tools.

A local pastor charged with gross sexual imposition was among eight indictments returned by the Grand Jury of the Guernsey Co. Common Pleas Court.
Wayne A. Hogue, 71, of Cambridge, faces three counts of gross sexual imposition. In July, Hogue was arrested after allegations of sexual abuse were made to the Cambridge Police Department by the family of a four-year-old child. At the time, Hogue was a pastor in the United Methodist Church.
In a release, Guernsey County Prosecuting Attorney Daniel G. Padden said five of the eight are secret indictments. The other open indictments were for Jason R. West, 38, of Akron, charged with felony-three abduction and felony-four grand theft; and Cyle A. Ellison, 26, of New Concord, charged with failure to comply with the order or signal of a police officer with specification for substantial risk of serious physical harm.
Arraignments are scheduled for October 17.

Dayton streamlines special ed - Record Editorial
Cheers for a less paperwork: Special education teachers will be able to spend more time with students, and less at their desks or at home doing paperwork, thanks to a major effort by Minnesota Education Commissioner Brenda Cassellius and the state Department of Education.
Gov. Mark Dayton praised the effort, saying the reduction will enable educators to spend much less time filling out forms and much more time in the classroom teaching children with special needs.
The Minnesota Department of Education has reduced its annual district Total Special Education System manual from 279 pages to just 16 pages.
In addition, a template was provided to school districts to further ease the reporting process. School districts are required to submit those reports each year. Reducing their paperwork by 94 percent will help school districts save both money and valuable time.
"Overloading teachers with unnecessary paperwork does nothing to provide better education for students with special needs," said Dayton.
"Excessive paperwork is the No. 1 complaint I hear from special education teachers everywhere in Minnesota. It takes them out of their classrooms and away from their students.
"To their great credit, Commissioner Cassellius and her staff tackled this problem and found a solution. Their accomplishment is an example of real reform, which matters to Minnesotans."
"This streamlined manual shows how the Minnesota Department of Education is not only listening, but responding to feedback from educators in the field of special education," said Melissa Schaller, special education director for Intermediate School District 917 in Rosemount
This session, MDE will recommend continued improvements to special education reporting by converting the entire TSES process from a paper system to an online system.
This move will create a database that would allow for even better accountability and oversight.
"Students with disabilities need as much time as possible with their teachers," said Cassellius in a news release. "By streamlining processes and reducing paperwork, we'll do a better job at supporting our kids and helping our teachers create the best possible outcomes for every single student."
In addition to streamlining the TSES, the Department of Education has worked with the Office of Administrative Hearings to expedite the special education complaint hearing process and avoid delays in resolution.
By developing a best practice document for parties and judges, MDE has noticed a 47 percent reduction in extensions. The average length of time from request to decision was almost cut in half; a reduction from 114 days in 2010, to just 69 days in 2012.
Improving the hearing process has saved the state an estimated 53 percent of what it was spending on court fees during the previous two years.
Better yet, this reduction in hearing times demonstrated better outcomes for students with disabilities by delivering faster resolutions for disputes.
Less red tape and faster hearings means real progress for Minnesota special education.

In typical RTS fashion, Tiny Realms gives us control of one of three different race classes in its ever evolving fantasy world. Tiny Mob Games' very own Chris Hoefgen explains that they're trying "to add real-time strategy to the whole mobile world and give you sort of a combination of a causal and hardcore experience you'd get with something like Warcraft or StarCraft."
On one hand, it has a base and realm building world similar to the experience you'd get from tower defense games. Meanwhile, there's also a combat side of the game that offers a single player experience where you take control of three factions – the dwarves, humans, or tegu. In addition, there's a player-versus-player multi-player mode where you can match up against other similarly experienced human players.
The graphics have that old school RTS design style similar to early titles in the genre, which works well on the iPad's sharp and sizeable display. Rather than employing 3D graphics, it resorts to utilizing an isometric view – again paying homage to the style of the genre's humble beginnings. Game play of course, is typical RTS fashion where we can control several units to attack our opponents – or summoning hero characters to really demolish the defenses of our enemies.
A common strategy used by mobile games in general, Tiny Realms will follow the freemium pricing strategy – where players can buy additional boosts and content packs to enhance the experience. Anxious gamers won't have to wait that long because the game's release is tentatively set for this spring for iOS.

Resonant Games LLC Won the Gaming Pitch Demo Day Followed by Sending.IO
Winner's Introduction
Adaptablox.com by Resonant Games: Video chat with educational games and activities
Resonant Games is a studio that specializes in social apps with synchronous interactivity. Our team has been working together for the past 15 years developing Social Games, Virtual Worlds and F2P Mobile Games.
As parents with distant relatives we recognized the need for an accessible video chat application for distributed families. With Adaptablox.com we set out to create a video chat platform that would allow participants to join in a shared space with one click (no download or plugin required). Once connected, family members can synchronously share content like toys, books and educational games to add context to the conversation. Eventually, family members will be able to upload photos, create drawings together and record their session for sharing externally.
Our demo at Adaptablox.com is a prototype of what will ultimately evolve into a HUB for the distributed family. We are excited about the enthusiasm for our video chat platform because we know that it solves a real problem and we are anxious to take it to the next level.
For anyone that is interested in discussing investment opportunities please reach out to us at firstname.lastname@example.com

The high school track season is finished but Jamie Martin still finds time to race around an oval.
Only these days he doesn't use his feet. Instead, he drives a car at speeds of 100 miles per hour.
Martin, who is a standout runner on Triway's track team and also runs cross country in the fall for the Titans, has been driving 360 Sprint cars for three years now and enjoys every minute of it.
He has a strong desire to compete, much of which has to do with his athletic background, and racing provides him with an opportunity to satisfy that craving.
"I love competition," Martin said before racing at Lakeville Speedway Friday night. "I run against competitive people in track and cross country and the drivers here are just as competitive. It's cool being able to go 100 miles per hour and not have to worry about getting a ticket."
Martin's love for speed developed at an early age, mainly because he followed his father around every weekend to take in the action on the local tracks.
"My dad has been involved in the sport for a long time working with other drivers and that really got me hooked on it," Martin said. "I used to go with him all of the time. Ever since I was little I have wanted to race."
Martin's dream evolved into reality eight years ago when he began racing 1/4 midget cars. After gaining five years of experience at that level, he moved up to sprint cars.
The transition did not come without adjustments, however, as Martin is quick to point out that it took time to learn how to drive in a fast-paced situation.
"Learning to drive the car was probably the toughest thing to get used to," Martin said. "There are so many different things you have to learn about to be successful in this sport."
Martin will have plenty of time to improve over the summer, especially now that he doesn't have to worry about running track. Sure, he'll spend time training for cross country this summer, but his schedule is much more desirable now than it was a few weeks ago.
"Track and racing run into each other in the early part of the racing season and that definitely makes it tough to juggle both in addition to school," Martin said. "There are nights when I'll come home from track practice and then do homework before spending some time working on my car to get it ready for the next race. It's always nice in the summer because I have more time to focus on racing."
Martin's focus was evident last Friday as he finished seventh in the feature race, which isn't bad considering this was the first time he has raced at Lakeville.
"The track here is a lot smaller and it's tough to get a grip on the track with your tires," said Martin, who usually races at Attica and Wayne County Speedway because sprint car races are only at Lakeville twice a year. "It would have been kind of nice to be running in Dayton (the site of the state track meet) this weekend, but I had a lot of fun being here."
Martin isn't sure what the future holds for him in racing, but he does know that he wants to remain involved in the sport.
"I'll just go wherever it takes me and see what happens," said Martin, who will be a senior at Triway this fall. "I just love racing and I plan on staying around it for a very long time."

Lions honored at 2010 banquet
Tye Chandler, firstname.lastname@example.com
Lion football players were among a number of Ennis High students to receive recognition on Thursday night at the Knights of Columbus Hall, as everyone associated with the football program was praised for their efforts.
Lionbacker president Gary Fincher opened the awards portion of the evening by thanking former Lion football coach Sam Harrell for his 16 years of devotion to Ennis High.
Athletic trainer Chad McCune then presented student trainer Heather Novy with a 2010-11 Academic All-State Award. The Student Athletic Trainer of the Year Award, as voted on by the student trainers, actually went to both Ciara Jones and Stephanie Montelongo.
Ennis High principal David Averett presented the Academic Award to Lion football senior Adam Martinek because he had the highest GPA on the team.
Steve Marrow, the interim coach during the 2010 season, began by thanking his entire coaching staff, the Lionbackers, administrators, school board members and teachers. He went on to recognize Bubba's Bar-B-Q, Lion game announcer Don Howard, Tye Chandler of the Ennis Daily News, Ennis Regional Medical Center, 106.9 The Ranch, athletic director Bill Cox, team parents, and the Sunday night cooking crew for the coaches.

Online Extra: What Happened to the Net's Borderless Economy?
By Sam Jaffe
Remember that IBM television commercial where a group of Japanese executives are sitting glum-faced around a table? Then a whippersnapper looks up from his laptop and says he has found a supplier for the widgets they need at half the price they had been expecting. Where's the order from, asks the suddenly cheerful CEO. "Mitchco," answers Wet-Behind-the-Ears. Cut to a chop shop in Texas where a greasy mechanic with the nametag Mitch looks up from his desktop, rubs together his oil-soaked hands, and says in a Texas drawl: "Domo arigato!"
IBM's vision of a borderless economy where suppliers across the globe compete instantaneously for contracts isn't here yet. In fact, it's still a long way off. But it's coming closer every day -- and already, the Web offers plenty of benefits as an international trading tool. "Even the Canadian-U.S. border, which is the freest in the world, is still a major impediment to trade," says Forrester Research analyst Matthew Sanders, who studies global trade and the Internet. "The Internet promises frictionless trade, clarity of pricing, and a medium where language problems are minimized. We're still very far away from that point, though."
That's not to say the Web hasn't already had an impact on how companies buy goods. According to Forrester's research, U.S. corporations used the Web to import $16 billion worth of goods in 2000. By 2004, Forrester expects that number to skyrocket to $379 billion. Worldwide, it estimates that goods worth more than $1.4 trillion will be sold over the Internet and then shipped across borders. The vast bulk will be raw goods and services sold to manufacturers.
Way out in the vanguard of this movement is U.S. conglomerate General Electric (GE ), which has probably expended more effort than any other company to put its corporate buying on the Web. As part of its "digitization" initiative, GE has already moved almost all of its commodities purchases onto its Web-based auctions.
The trend started on December 15, 1999, when GE launched its first eAuction by posting a request for supplies of that most mundane of industrial tools: safety glasses. Vendors had been alerted earlier as to the specifications of the order, which aimed to provide plastic safety glasses to every GE plant. The auction itself was scheduled to last two hours. It was in the form of a reverse auction, where participants were allowed to see the current lowest price offered. More than 30 suppliers participated, and over a hundred bids were placed.
By the time it ended, a Chinese manufacturer had placed a bid that was 53% lower than GE had expected to pay, saving it $200,000. "When the boardroom saw the results of that first auction, they wanted to implement this across the company for every purchase that we could apply this to," says Lee Garbowitz, director of corporate initiatives for GE.
In 2000, GE used the reverse-auction process to buy $6.4 billion in goods ranging from office supplies to bulk aluminum shipments. It expects that figure to reach $15 billion this year, saving the company $600 million -- all of which, says Garbowitz, goes straight to the bottom line. He estimates that eventually about 60% of GE's purchases will be made using its online auction system. The 40% that won't include supplies that have only one source or are purchases from companies with which GE has a strategic partnership. By the end of this year, GE will be making about 53% of its purchases online.
At the heart of GE's system is a relatively simple browser-based piece of software that suppliers can reach via the extranet portal on GE's Web site. Some suppliers have resisted the move to online purchasing, but Garbowitz says that hasn't been a major worry for GE. "We just try to educate them as to how it works and why it's in their best interests to participate and make it clear that no matter what, this is the future for GE. We won't be going back to the old way of ordering," he says.
Despite the incredible success of GE's online buying program, it isn't necessarily clearing a path that all companies can follow. "GE operates on a scale that most companies don't," says Forrester's Sanders, who points out that 90% of global trade is accounted for by the largest 100 companies around the world. Suppliers who would bend over backward to get GE's business might not be interested in bidding at an auction to supply 10 lug nuts to Al's Auto Repair.
GE has another thing going for it: a pre-existing relationship with its suppliers. They are screened and ranked according to factors such as solvency, past execution, and capacity. Therefore, a bid can be accepted not just on price but on GE's knowledge of the bidder's ability to deliver. Most other companies don't have that luxury. For instance, that's one thing the buyers in IBM's "Mitchco" ad didn't address: They got a cheap offer, but how did they know that Mitch can produce, package, and deliver the product on time while paying the lowest possible customs costs?
Trust, says Forrester's Sanders, is the key to international trade and also the biggest roadblock to using the Internet as a trading tool. One startup, Amsterdam-based eCredible (a subsidiary of insurance company Swiss Re), is trying to provide an online version of that most ancient of trading contracts: a letter of credit. By providing online letters of credit to global suppliers, companies seeking goods and services can include those suppliers in auctions without having to expend resources on researching each company's solvency. Still, eCredible is a young company with little reputation, and it will take some time for such a system to become globally accepted.
Assuming that the problem of trust will be solved, two roadblocks to borderless Net trade remain. One is the thicket of regulations, duties, and tariffs that any cross-border product has to pick its way through. Traditionally, freight forwarders take care of that, thanks to their experience with local laws and their willingness to fill out all the paperwork. A number of startups are in the process of creating databases that will automate the shipping process. Vastera is the most prominent, thanks to Ford (F ) recently outsourcing its entire customs management process to the Dulles (Va.) startup.
Once a supplier has been deemed trustworthy and the customs process has been figured out, there's still the question of actually shipping the product at the lowest possible cost. Again, a number of Web startups, including Descartes and Logistics.com, promise to use the Internet to lower the costs of shipping industrial goods.
If these startups can get established, prove that they can save money for clients, and then make a profit themselves, the future of the Internet as a tool to erase borders is bright. After all, Sanders says, the companies that have the most to gain from such trade are those that aren't doing it today: He adds: "The huge benefit comes when the vast majority of businesses that don't trade internationally today are able to do so because of the Internet."

Fury warriors are one of the flashiest warrior specs in World of Warcraft, wielding a one-handed weapon in either hand and, after they have specced into Titan's Grip, wielding two two-handed weapons instead. They are a high damage talent specialization which is paradoxically poor at fighting in battlegrounds, and is focused almost wholly on PvE content. The WoW fury warrior rotation for Cataclysm remains fairly familiar to players of this spec, but has a few tweaks that should be noted.
The Colossus Smash move is now the only viable opener for a fury warrior rotation, due to the fact that it not only deals a large amount of damage, but also allows the warrior to bypass the target's armor protection for no less than 6 seconds. This allows your character to make a series of attacks with basically no mitigation reducing the damage done – a huge advantage with highly armored enemies, elites, and in particular endgame raid bosses.
There is no reason to use any other ability than Colossus Smash to open your rotation once it is available to your character. It should also be used on every cooldown – that is, every 20 seconds – in preference to any other attack. In short, once it is acquired, this ability becomes the defining move of your fury warrior, even more than Bloodthirst.
Bloodthirst is still a critical part of the WoW fury warrior rotation for Cataclysm, however, and you should use it as frequently as possible when your character is fighting. It both damages your foes and heals your character, so it is central to your rotation. Since it has a three second cooldown, you will basically be alternating it with other attacks.
Raging Blow occupies a very important place in your fury warrior's rotation as well, but since it depends on a random proc – the Enraged state – it cannot be set to any hard and fast rule. When Enrage procs, your character will be Enraged for a full 9 seconds, assuming that you have put 3/3 talent points into the talent, as every fury warrior ought to do. Since Raging Blow has a 6 second cooldown, this means that your character can use Raging Blow twice before the Enraged effect ends, assuming that you keep your wits about you and make sure that you use it as soon as it becomes available.
When your enemy is at a low point for health, there are several different approaches to finishing them off. One is to simply "spam" Execute as often as possible until your foe dies. This approach has the advantage of simplicity and directness. Or, you can alternate between Execute and Bloodthirst, which will have the beneficial effect of allowing your warrior to end the fight with a bit more health than would be the case with a simple Execute spam – though both approaches are viable in a WoW fury warrior rotation for Cataclysm.

From a media release:
New Single: Mexico
From the forthcoming album Politico by Mexican Institute of Sound (August 14, 2012 release)
I wanted to share with you this new video from Mexican Institute of Sound - Instituto Mexicano Del Sonido - titled "Mexico," which was released July 10, 2012, coinciding with the presidential elections in Mexico. This powerful video touches on the current political situation in Mexico, a country politically divided and torn apart by ever-increasing drug violence. And with the recent developments in the immigration debate here in the US, it's a timely and interesting piece. Plus it's a great song.
The video was directed by Jonas Cuaron (Children of Men), son of Alfonso Cuaron (Y tu mamá también, Harry Potter), and debuted featured on front page of YouTube Music. The video takes place in Mexico City's legendary El Zócalo during massive youth demonstrations and features the controversial youth protest movement #Soy132 which has recently mobilized in support of democratization of the Mexican media and political system.
Mexican Institute of Sound's new album, aptly titled 'Politico' (to be released August 14th), comes at a precarious time in Mexican politics. The result is an album of explosive club bangers that bridge worlds between Mexico City, Tokyo, Barcelona and New York, traversing Lara's wild musical imagination with a witty sense of humor.. The new album also features the song "El Jefe" which was recently chosen as the theme to the new A&E television series about Mexican wrestling, 'El Luchador'.
In the past year, M.I.S. has brought the band to rock stages from Denmark to Japan, including major shows at Central Park Summer Stage, VIVE Latino, Lollapalooza and Coachella. Mexican Institute of Sound's music has also had a wide range of high-profile television and videogame uses, including HBO 'Entourage' & 'East Bound & Down,' as well as 'Californication' and videogames like EA Sports' 'FIFA' soccer series.
"The sound of old Mexican cumbias, boleros and mariachi tunes scrambled with samples, effects and beats." - NEW YORK TIMES
"Camilo Lara works the electro-dance scene like the James Murphy [LCD Soundsystem] of Latin America. Think Hot Chip visiting the Buena Vista Social Club; think traditional samples with bells and beats; think a sweaty indie-dance party." - CMJ

Corrupt School Board Presents: Constance McMillen's Decoy Prom!
Remember that time that Ellen gave the super awesome lesbian high-schooler a scholarship and internship after she sued her school district for canceling prom? It looked like maybe the international scrutiny and an ACLU lawsuit had worked and Constance McMillen's school agreed to throw a parent-sponsored prom in the cafeteria. But no, it was a trap. While McMillen, her girlfriend, and seven friends showed up to decoy prom, her classmates were partying at a different location planned by the school district. As Gawker summed it up, "Basically, a bunch of grownups may have staged an elaborate ruse so the gay girl and her gay lesbian girlfriend and all their totally homo friends could stand around one place looking like chumps." Someone even tracked down a classmate's prom photos, which proved there was, in fact, a secret prom Constance was not invited to. [Gawker]
I'm so utterly sickened by these awful hick people and their evil hick scheming. I had no idea people were still so close-minded and openly discriminating. Maybe Constance can sue them again and start a fund to get discriminated students out of their school district and into real cities where this kind of thing doesn't happen?

Borough council honors local hero
Ligonier Borough Council presented a recognition plaque to one of two men who acted bravely last year when they stopped a gunman from firing additional shots inside a Ligonier bar in July 2011.
Kirk Haldeman, an insurance agent who lives in Ligonier was honored Monday night and praised for the act of courage. Michael Ledgard could not attend the meeting and will be recognized at a future council meeting.
"These two men are heroes in the true sense of the word," said Robert Helterbran, council president.
Haldeman said he just couldn't think to do anything else at the time.
"My only thought was that I had to stop him." said Haldeman.
The incident occurred when Stephen P. Fromholz, 41, of San Antonio walked into Fat Daddy's Place with an assault rifle following an argument and shot and killed Donald Holler, 65, of Cook Township.
Haldeman and a friend, Michael Ledgard, stopped at the bar to eat after their golf match was rained out. The pair rushed the gunman and held him on the floor until Ligonier Borough Police Chief John Berger arrived on the scene.
"I could not wait to be able to honor them," said Chief Berger. "We just had to wait until the trial was over."
Fromholtz was found guilty of first-degree murder in September and sentenced to serve the rest of his life in prison.
"That individual was a dangerous man. He had knives, pistols and an assault rifle," said Berger. "When he came back in the bar with the deadliest weapon, this gentlemen and his friend tackled him and held him on the floor causing a round to go off into the floor. They saved many lives that night."
Ledgard could not attend the meeting and will be recognized at a future council meeting.
Council also recognized Charles Stahl for his many years of dedicated service to the borough and the community while serving as a school guard during football games.
"We just want to recognize him for what he has done for us," said Berger.
Berger said he remembers Stahl serving as a guard when he was a young student at Ligonier Valley.
Stahl will also serve as parade marshal during the Fort Ligonier Days parade Saturday.
In other business:
• Council voted to table a decision to place a FedEx drop box at the corner of West Main and Walnut streets pending more information.
• Councilman Sam St. Clair said minor repairs will be completed to the Town Hall roof this year before winter, but noted other items needed to be addressed next year.
• Council is in the process of revamping the Fort Ligonier Days ordinance for 2013.
All departments involved in the Fort Ligonier Days said everything was in place with plans for a safe, incident-free event.
The borough will observe Halloween Trick-or-Treat night 5 -6 p.m. Oct. 31.
