Friendship History
Declan was a new student in the second semester of their junior year, and the boys became friendly with each other through mutual classes. Declan went to Sav for advice when he was courting Holly J. Sinclair, and he in turn helped Sav out with Anya MacPherson. Sav was primarily the only boy that Declan would hang around with during his time at Degrassi, before transferring to Vanderbilt Prep. However, when Declan returned in the tenth season, Sav was dating his ex-girlfriend, Holly J., which Declan thought was a joke at first. It can be assumed that they are no longer friends after Holly J. admitted to Sav that she and Declan had sex during his stay.
Season 9In Waiting for a Girl Like You, Declan comments that Holly J. is a girl worth fighting for, and Sav sarcastically says, "You have health insurance, right?". They are both later shown to be in the same Media Immersion and History class. In History class, Declan sits in front of Sav, and they are talking about Sav's 1 year anniversary with Anya MacPherson. Declan says that maybe a relationship is just finding the right girl, while looking at Holly J. Sav comments "There's someone for everyone, I guess." Declan reveals that he messed up with her and she no longer trusts him, and Sav advises him to tell him how he feels, as girls love that. Declan tries to apologize to Holly J. and mentions Trish, causing Sav to loudly whisper, "Dude, you're still with Trish?!", ruining Declan's chance of an apology. Declan turns around and looks at him, which causes Sav to shut up.
Later, Declan approaches Sav, asking if he could help him out. He tells him that Holly J. isn't like the girls he normally dates and asks for big ideas. This exchange causes Anya to interrupt and tell Declan that big gestures freak girls out, and Declan should just try and find time to spend with her. Declan asks Sav what his anniversary surprise is for Anya, and Sav tells him that it is a homemade Sanya scrapbook. The two laugh over how Sav is screwed, and Declan gives him two backstage passes to the Tess's concert. Sav thanks him, as Declan had just saved him with Anya.In Heart Like Mine (2), Sav, Anya, and Declan are deciding on who is the female lead for the musical. Sav calls Fiona, Declan's sister, vocally challenged, and Declan picks Fiona for the role, even though she cannot sing. Sav and Declan are later standing next to each other when Declan gives the role rightfully to Chantay.
In Why Can't This Be Love? (2), Declan says that Sav is lucky to have Anya since she is such a hottie. When Anya is in the bathroom talking to Farrah, Sav is outside talking to Holly J. about rigging the vote. Declan comments that rigging the vote would be "deliciously schemey" and tells Holly J., "I can't believe you're not supporting this." Anya approaches Sav and begins to make out with him in front of Declan and Holly J., and Declan smiles at them before Holly J. pulls them away.
In Degrassi Takes Manhattan, Sav attends Declan's pool party.
Season 10In Love Lockdown (1), Declan revisits Degrassi, and Holly J. tells Sav that she is having lunch with him. Sav, now considering Declan as "the ex," is paranoid that Declan is there to get back with Holly J., though she assures Sav that nothing will happen, even though Sav's instincts were correct. Later at lunch, Holly J. tells Declan that she and Sav are in a relationship, but he laughs, thinking she was joking. Upset by the news, Declan hides his emotions, saying he is just glad that he and Holly J. are talking again. At the Grundy Awards, it is now awkward between Sav and Declan, who both have feelings for Holly J. When Declan delivers a heartfelt speech dedicating his award to Holly J., Sav later confronts Holly J. about it, and she says he is being paranoid.
Declan invites both Sav and Holly J. to a party back at his and Fiona's condo. Declan shows Sav a DJ app on an iPad and asks him if he wants to hook it up to their sound system, knowing it would get Sav away from Holly J. Declan announces Sav is DJing to the party, and Declan takes the opportunity to talk to Holly J. During the night, Fiona increasingly drank enough alcohol and acted sick to get Holly J. to spend the night. Declan and Sav fist bump, and Sav comments that it was a great party before he leaves. That night, Declan persuades Holly J. into having sex with him, therefore she cheated on Sav with him. Declan feels remorseful for flirting with his friend's girlfriend.
In Love Lockdown (2), Declan goes to the school because he thinks Holly J. is avoiding him and talks to Sav, asking if he has heard from Holly J. Sav says he hasn't talked to her since last night and asks if she is okay. Declan lies to him saying that she helped out with Fiona last night and then got a cab home, and then tells him he has been trying to call her today. Declan asks Sav if she has called him, but Sav reveals to him that there are cellphone jammers in the school. He asks if he could get her to call him, and Sav agrees before leaving.
When Fiona gets back to her condo, Declan mentions that he thinks it'd be kind of fun sneaking around behind Sav's back. Holly J. later makes amends with Declan, but cuts off contact. However, she does not tell Sav of her betrayal.
In Halo (2), Holly J. comes clean to Sav about having sex with Declan, and Sav states that he knew that Declan was trying to get her back. Sav breaks up with her for cheating on him and for still having feelings for Declan, though they get back together by the end of the episode.
In Searching for Sinder3lla, Sav helps Declan find his dream girl so that Declan would teach him "the look."
- They both have been romantically involved with Holly J. Sinclair.
- They both have younger sisters: Fiona Coyne and Alli Bhandari respectively.
- Both went on double dates with their ex-girlfriends.
- Both were kissed by underclassmen girls while dating Holly J.:
- Jenna Middleton kissed Sav on the lips.
- Clare Edwards kissed Declan on the neck.

To read well, says Marilyn Chandler McEntyre, is to prepare oneself to live wisely, kindly, and wittily :
I have long valued literary theorist Kenneth Burke's simple observation that literature is "equipment for living." We glean what we need from it as we go. In each reading of a book or poem or play, we may be addressed in new ways, depending on what we need from it, even if we are not fully aware of those needs. The skill of good reading is not only to notice what we notice, but also to allow ourselves to be addressed. To take it personally. To ask, even as we read secular texts, that the Holy Spirit enable us to receive whatever gift is there for our growth and our use. What we hope for most is that as we make our way through a wilderness of printed, spoken, and electronically transmitted words, we will continue to glean what will help us navigate wisely and kindlyand also wittilya world in which competing discourses can so easily confuse us in seeking truth and entice us falsely.
I think, for instance, of Henry James's hope for Isabel Archer, in The Portrait of a Lady , that she "be a person upon whom nothing is lost." That phrase reminds me of a way of living to be aspired to: to be a person for whom every encounter is food for thought, reflection, prayer, or perhaps lively resistance, who notices word choices and recognizes need and gets the joke and pauses over what might easily be passed by. The hope expressed in that line is fueled by a reassurance I have found in words Robert Bolt assigns to Sir Thomas More, whose deep moral intelligence links piety to precision of thought: "God made the angels to show him splendoras he made animals for innocence and plants for their simplicity. But man he made to serve him wittily, in the tangle of his mind!" Wit is the sharp instrument that prunes away what obscures the things that matter most.

From the 1970s into the early '80s, the hard-rocking Sheiks played New Orleans venues such as Jimmy's Music Club and Ole Man River's as well as the I-55 corridor from New Orleans to Chicago. Singer-songwriter Michael O'Hara, decked out in Middle Eastern costume, was the band's vibrant frontman.
"People compared me to Mick Jagger and Tina Turner on steroids," O'Hara said recently.
In 1982, O'Hara left New Orleans and the Sheiks for Los Angeles. He experienced much success in Los Angeles as a songwriter for Anita Baker, Patti LaBelle, Jody Watley, CeCe Peniston and more. Four of his songs reached No. 1, and he received four Grammy nominations.
O'Hara's songwriting success continued following his move to New York. After New York, he staged and starred in a gospel musical in Branson, Missouri.
From there, he moved to Fort Worth, Texas, where he's a minister, an evangelist and a traveling entertainer who performs on a huge circuit of assisted-living facilities.
Back in New Orleans, veteran club owner and promoter Jimmy Anselmo never forgot about O'Hara or the Sheiks.
"After I left the band, Jimmy called me twice a year and said, 'Michael, are you coming out of retirement, coming back to Jimmy's?' "
The answer was always no, until last October.
"Jimmy gave me one of his calls," O'Hara said. "I said, 'Jimmy, just like before, let me get on my knees and ask God. I'll call you right back, as soon as I hear from him.' I called Jimmy back two minutes later, I told him, 'I can. Let's set the date.'
"I've been working since then in the studio to put the show together. And that's how I came out of retirement."
O'Hara, following Anselmo's many years of encouragement, will perform a one-man show Saturday, July 26, at The Willow, formerly Jimmy's Music Club.
Excited about his return to the performance of songs he hasn't done in some 30 years, O'Hara said he feels like a lion in a cage. "It's like, 'Let me at 'em.' "
The one-man show O'Hara has planned for The Willow is organized in two acts. Act I features songs he wrote that became hits for Baker, LaBelle and others. Act II features the return of the Sheik.
"The second act is nothing but Sheiks songs," he said. "As many of the ones that I can fit in that people love and remember. The greatest hits, let's put it that way."
For the autobiographical portions of Act I, O'Hara will not lack for material.
A native of St. Louis, O'Hara played piano in his father's church at 6 and directed the church's choirs soon thereafter. At 15, he joined the Spoon River Band, the St. Louis rock band that evolved into the Sheiks and relocated to New Orleans.
By the early '80s, O'Hara had bigger things in mind for the Sheiks than gigs in bars and clubs. Hoping to get a songwriting deal, he sent cassettes of songs he'd written, featuring only verses and choruses, to music publishers. A song plugger with MCA responded enthusiastically.
"I went back to the band and said, 'Hey, I have a publishing deal on the table,' " O'Hara recalled. " 'We can get a house like we used to have and everybody can live together for a while. I can pay for it, because I'll be making money writing songs. If we play three or four months to a year in LA, we'll get noticed and we'll get bookings.' "
But his fellow Sheiks declined to leave New Orleans and accompany the singer to LA.
"I hated to leave the guys, but I knew that I wasn't getting any younger," O'Hara said. "I had to go to where the music industry was. I packed up and I went. I don't regret it, because it allowed me to have the career that I've had. But I still miss everybody so much. That's why, when God said I can come back, believe me, I was ready."

The fabrication process and design issues for the fabrication of vertical-injection GaN-based light-emitting diodes were investigated. The process yield was reduced according to the adhesion of reflective p-electrodes, the exposure of electroplated metal in plasma, and wet-etching induced surface textures. The chip design utilizing current blocking layer and branched n-electrode was found to significantly affect the power efficiency of LEDs.

Trucking Violations on the Rise in Texas
Safety data suggests that many trucking firms are putting profit before safety as they attempt to maximize profits in Texas' recent oil and gas boom; however, it is the tragic story's of lost loved ones that illustrate the repercussions of these actions.
The Story of Vilma Marenco
"I called her, and called her, and called her, but she never answered – so I returned home and started looking for her. And the accident happened nearby, and I heard it, but I didn't know she was involved in it." – Guillermo Gomez as published by Houston Public Media
According to Houston Public Media, Vilma Marenco was returning home from work on April 22 when she was fatally struck by an 18-wheeler that had run a red light at the intersection of Old Beaumont Highway and Pineland Drive – she was less than a mile from her home when the collision occurred.
Marenco's husband, Guillermo Gomez, had been trying to reach Marenco on her cell phone when he heard the fatal collision. It was not until hours later that Gomez learned of his wife's death.
During their investigation, the Texas Department of Public Safety found that the truck that killed Marenco should have never been on the road to begin with. The company that owned the truck, R&F Quality Transportation of Houston, Texas, had been ordered to cease operations the previous December due to a series of violations, including cracked frames and a driver smoking marijuana while driving – R&F had ignored the order.
The Marenco-Gomez family has sense filed a wrongful death lawsuit.
Reports of Violations Not Rare Enough
Unfortunately, Vilma Marenco's story is not unique. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health states that motor vehicle fatality rate for the oil and gas extraction industry is 8.5 times higher than private industry as a whole.
Sheriff Larry Busby of Live Oak County, an area heavily affected by the Eagle Ford Shale boom, says truck traffic in his jurisdiction is the most dangerous he's seen in his 33 years as sheriff. Much of this is due to failures by trucking companies to properly adhere to safety regulations.
Roughly 30 percent of commercial vehicles pulled over in Texas for special "road truck" inspections failed the inspections and were pulled out of service. By comparison, the national average for failed inspections is 20 percent.

Former high school athletes have a leg up on the competition when seeking top jobs, new research suggests.
Employers expect workers who played varsity high school sports to be more self-confident, have more self-respect and demonstrate more leadership than their peers who participated in other extracurricular activities, according to a Cornell University study.
"Participation in competitive youth sports 'spills over' to occupationally advantageous traits that persist across a person's life," said Kevin Kniffin, one of the study's authors and a postdoctoral research associate at Cornell's Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management.
Researchers found that former athletes carry these characteristics with them throughout their careers. The study discovered that many ex-jock octogenarians, those between the ages of 80 and 89, parlayed 65-year-old leadership skills into successful management careers, including some at the highest level.
Additionally, former varsity athletes also reported significantly higher prosocial volunteerism and charitable activities.
"In our study of late-career workers, those who earned a varsity letter more than 50 years ago do demonstrate these characteristics more than others. Plus, they donate time and money more frequently than others and possessed great prosocial behavior in their 70s, 80s and 90s," said Kniffin.
As part of the study, researchers asked 66 employed adults how much they agreed with statements about the character of those who played sports in high school as well as those who did other activities like the marching band or yearbook club. The findings showed that those surveyed expect former high school athletes to be more self-confident, self-respecting leaders.
In a second survey, 931 men who graduated high school about 60 years ago answered questions about their professional successes and their contributions to their communities. The researchers found that those who had played high school sports were more likely to volunteer their time and donate to organizations such as Girl Scouts, the United Way and the Red Cross.
The study's authors said the results underscore the importance of maintaining high school sports programs.
"These findings are encouraging because they show evidence of long-term, positive, personal and societal benefits of high school sports," Kniffin said. "What is particularly important to note about this research is that it shows that positive traits associated with playing sports can impact individuals and communities for decades."
The study, co-authored by Cornell marketing professor Brian Wansink and Illinois State University assistant professor Mitsuru Shimizu, was recently published online in the Journal of Leadership & Organizational Studies.

Choosing wine for a party
Party time is here again but whereas, I suspect, you spend hours planning the food, drink probably doesn't get much of a look-in until the last minute. A bit of forethought, however can not only mean you drink more appropriately - bearing in mind parties are hot, thirsty events - but save you money into the bargain.
What type of wine to buy depends on the type of event you're hosting whether it's an informal get together for family and neighbours, a buffet or a hot sit-down supper. Obviously it depends on the type of food you're serving too but here's a general guide to cover most occasions.
Drinks and nibbles
Personally I think it's hard to beat fizz for a drinks party, even an informal one and with so many excellent inexpensive sparklers on the market it doesn't have to break the bank. Cava is the obvious choice, especially if you're serving fizz-based cocktails but there are also good inexpensive sparklers from Australia, New Zealand, not to mention the terminally trendy Pinot Grigio, now available in sparkling form.
To make a cut price 'champagne' cocktail put a sugar lump in each glass and pour over a few drops of Angostura bitters. Add a splash (about a dessertspoon) of brandy and top up with well-chilled sparkling wine (I suggest Cava), tilting the glass towards the bottle as you pour.
A cold buffet
Cold food needs lighter, fruitier wines than hot food. In fact it suits the sort of wines you'd take on a picnic - light fruity reds and rosés and crisp whites - all served cool.
Sauvignon Blanc pips chardonnay as the fashionable party white this winter (although an unoaked or lightly oaked chardonnay is always a reliable crowd-pleaser). You might also add a few bottles of Australian riesling for more adventurous guests or those who prefer an off-dry white.
The red that suits a cold spread best - particularly if it contains chicken or salmon - is a fruity pinot noir. The only downside is that they can be expensive but you can find some well-priced examples from Chile and California. And roés - once only drunk in summer - is a great all-rounder. Southern French rosés from the Languedoc or the Rhone offer particularly good value.
A hot supper
Hot food generally needs more full-bodied wines than cold food (though if you're serving something creamy like a fish or chicken pie you could get away with a lighter white). In general you want a wine that can stand up to strong flavours but which isn't too high in alcohol - quite a big ask when so many wines are hitting the 14-14.5% ABV mark. Southern French and Spanish reds tend to be quite reasonable as do cheaper Chilean reds but check out the label to make sure you're not serving a 15% blockbuster. And have plenty of water available so that guests can have an occasional glass if they choose.
How much to buy
The more choice you offer the more you'll spend so I generally buy no more than 3 different wines for a party. As a general rule I work on the basis of half to two thirds of a bottle per person in total depending how long the party is. (A standard bottle of wine contains six small 125ml glasses) However you know your friends better than I do! If in doubt order a bit more - you can buy wine on a sale or return basis from most retailers.
Keeping cool
With the fridge full to bursting at this time of year the main problem with parties is getting and keeping wine cool. Try and store your bottles in a cold place for a start (though not a freezing one. Beware of the garage if temperatures are sub-zero). The best way to chill bottles for a crowd is to put them in large buckets of iced water - ice and water chill faster than ice alone.

Sefko: Listless Mavs stumble to third straight defeat against injury-depleted Timberwolves
On Military Appreciation Night, the Mavericks needed to band together and work as a unit.
Instead, they were mostly AWOL.
They may have been trying to jump in a foxhole to help each other, but when Minnesota started shoveling dirt on them, it turned into a burial.
Eventually, the Timberwolves dishonorably discharged the Mavericks, 90-82, Monday night at American Airlines Center. It was a display that should have gotten the Mavericks locked in the brig — lacking effort, passion and execution.
When it was over, the general all but promised changes.
"We got to look at it," coach Rick Carlisle said. "We've given this rotation a good, long look. And we may have to change it up. I'll have to look at the film and see."
That's what a miserable night at the gym does. Several nights, actually.
This was the Mavericks' third consecutive loss and first at home this season. They never led after the game's first three minutes, couldn't make enough shots in the fourth quarter to sustain any comeback attempt and were embarrassed on the glass — again — to the tune of a 49-35 rebounding edge for the Wolves.
Carlisle was so aggravated that he got tossed out with five minutes left when he'd seen the Wolves' Alexey Shved draw a foul just as the shot-clock was about to expire. It was the second time that had happened.
"A game like tonight, it feels like you're a zillion miles away from being a good team," Carlisle said. "We're not as far away as it feels. We have to keep working and we have to stick together."
That doesn't mean, however, that there aren't problems.
"We're giving up too much dribble penetration and not rebounding enough," Carlisle said. "That's [what is] killing us. We weren't trying hard enough in the first half. We had film to show it and I got on guys and I thought we picked it up in the second half. Then it was missed shots that multiplied our problem."
The Mavericks shot 36.3 percent from the field, their worst of the season. They got picked apart in the paint by Minnesota center Nikola Pekovic, who had 20 points despite not playing in the fourth quarter because of an ankle problem.
The starting front line produced nine points on 4-of-13 shooting for the Mavericks. The reserves at least provided some gusto, but by the time Darren Collison got rolling in the fourth quarter, it was too late.
"We have to stick together," guard Vince Carter said. "When they [starters] struggle, that's the job of the bench. Hopefully we can kick-start them."
In general, Carter said the Mavericks are not playing hard enough consistently.
"We have to play desperate," he said. "We have to play harder. We have to compete for 48 minutes. We can't wait until the last five minutes. We have to come ready to play. We can't decide in the last couple minutes to do something. We got to learn. These losses hurt. But at the same time, we need them. We need to learn from them."
The Mavericks spent the entire third quarter trying to keep pace with the Wolves, who have gotten off to a 5-2 start this season despite being depleted by injuries.
The Mavericks were down two starters — Dirk Nowitzki and Shawn Marion.
Nowitzki, by the way, made a cameo on the Mavericks' telecast during the second quarter and, while not saying anything about a projected return to action, he did say he's getting tired of rehab.
"It's been three weeks," he said. "Obviously, that's a lot of time for me watching. At this point, gotta stay patient and do what the doctors and trainers tell me. When I originally heard three to six weeks, in my mind, I'm thinking, 'In two weeks, I'm back.' But unfortunately this is not how it happens. My first knee surgery and unfortunately this stuff takes longer than we expected."
But as shorthanded as the Mavericks were, the Wolves outdid them. They were down five of their top seven players with Kevin Love, Ricky Rubio, Brandon Roy, Chase Budinger and J.J. Barea all on the shelf.
So naturally, the Wolves showed off their best wounded-warrior mentality.

Panhypopituitarism and Infertility
I am a 31 year old female with Panhypopituitarism. I have been on HGH for years, as well as Cortef, Synthroid, Premarin and Provera. I have been told that I need not use birth control.
Is it impossible to get pregnant with my condition unless fertility treatment is given?
Typically, patients with this disorder do not ovulate because the brain does not stimulate the ovaries. While patients cannot become pregnant on their own, they can ovulate if they take fertility shots which stimulate the ovaries (gonadotropins). For this treatment, patients would need to see a reproductive endocrinologist/infertility specialist.

Bulk Fuel Distribution Costs For Cooperatives in North Dakota
Economic-engineering cost data and a simulation model were used to analyze the impact of sales density, size of sales area, sales volume, and equipment configuration on costs of bulk fuel delivery by cooperatives. Fixed costs accounted for the majority of delivery costs regardless of sales density or size of sales area, at least for the relevant range of these variables for North Dakota. Increasing the radius of a sales area from 5 to 50 miles increased average costs only $.02 to $.09/gal. Doubling sales by either doubling the size of the sales area or the sales density reduced average total costs by nearly 50%. Thus, cooperatives with excess delivery capacity could achieve significant savings if they consolidate to operate closer to the capacity of delivery equipment. Small storage facilities (say 50,000 gal.) place little or no restriction on operations because deliveries from bulk fuel terminals are reliable and on a timely basis. Therefore, the economic rationale for building larger storage facilities would include speculation on price changes and as a response to future expectations rather than current operating requirements. The impact of the size of load-out pipes (2" or 3") and delivery trucks (2,000 or 4,000 gal.) is significant in some instances. The larger load-out pipes are most economical for high sales densities. Larger trucks have a comparative advantage in large sales areas with lower sales densities.

Sakhee's class is no Secret
Those prepared to take on Sakhee's Secret tomorrow should be admired for displaying lion-hearted courage.
But for punters happy to cower beneath the shadow of a proverbial 'good thing', the Betfred Sprint Cup cannot be considered an appropriate race for misplaced fortitude.
If Haydock's Group One showpiece looks as good as it does on paper - even with a clutch of notable defections - Merseyside racegoers are in for a treat.
And in terms of assessing potential brilliance, Sakhee's Secret is surely up there with the best at this stage in his career.
Still unbeaten this season and still only a three-year-old, Hughie Morrison's colt made odds of 9-2 look as big as the gulf in class between him and his rivals in the July Cup.
In what was a white-hot renewal, Steve Drowne's mount showed electric dash to dispel fanciful notions of the Newmarket Group One being too steep a rise in class from his easy Salisbury win.
While this is no less competitive, Sakhee's Secret is reported to have thrived since that cakewalk at Headquarters.
That does not bode well for the opposition - nor does the school of thought rightly suggesting Haydock may suit him even better than Newmarket did.
With that in mind, this progressive performer can lay a solid claim to the much-coveted sprinting throne.
His price is sure to put off many, however, and punters who fall into that bracket cannot go wrong by supporting Hellvelyn at each-way odds.
Last season's Coventry Stakes winner arguably put up a better display in defeat next time up when a close-up second to Holy Roman Emperor in the Phoenix.
Bryan Smart's grey colt has had his setbacks this term and the July Cup, in which he was eighth, was hardly an ideal seasonal debut.
He has clearly kicked on as a three-year-old, though, and emerged a really good winner in a Listed race at Beverley over the minimum distance.
Hellvelyn is a particularly classy animal when the ground is quick so it is easy to foresee a top-three finish over his preferred trip of six furlongs.
Staying is the name of the game 30 minutes later with the betfredcasino.com Old Borough Cup.
Regal Flush could not have done the job any better when winning over a mile and a half at Goodwood and looks to have scope to defy a big rise in the weights.

Mayflower oil spill provides rare opportunity for UCA students
MAYFLOWER (KATV) - It's not often you have a disaster right in your back yard. But with the mayflower oil spill, University of Central Arkansas biology students had the rare opportunity to put their text books aside and get a dose of real life.
"You always keep in your mind that'd never happen in my backyard and then of course it happens," said Courtney Dunn, a graduate student at UCA.
It's a once-in-a-lifetime educational opportunity for these students at UCA; A major oil spill just a few miles away.
"Its something that solidifies in your mind quite a bit from seeing it," said Dunn.
Dr. McDonald says this is the second time she's been able to teach from a real-life disaster in twenty years. The last one was an earthquake when she was in California.
"Something like this really does gravitate students and their attention toward this and it elevates their concern as well," said Dr. Vickie McDonald, of the Biology Department at UCA.
Joshua Hines, a senior, has been testing the water quality in this cove since the pipeline ruptured. It's a new project for him.
"Inspiring in some way, devastating in others," said Hines.
He plans on basing his graduate thesis off of his research of Lake Conway.
"I'm still learning, of course, but I feel really prepared to take on research tasks from here," said Hines.
But education through the Mayflower oil spill doesn't just stay here. One professor is bringing it to his classroom.
Dr.{}Ben Cash, a professor in Biology Department,{}has been rescuing snakes from the cove and{}is teaching his students about the effects on the snakes and the ecosystem.
"This has provided us with a platform to really talk about the real world where the connection about what we teach about in the classroom can be made very directly with our students," said Dr. Cash.
This isn't just a one day thing for students. They{}plan on studying the impact of this spill on the ecosystem for the next several years.

Q: The LMP2 drivers championship is still up for grabs. . . .
A: "True, and Clint and I are still in the thick of things. Both Petit Le Mans and Laguna Seca are multiple point events, so we absolutely have to take advantage. The Porsche cars have been strong lately, no question about that. But the Intersport Lola has been ultra dependable each race, and we have to continue in that vein. The Porsches did not race at the distance event at Sebring, so you have to wonder if either or both will have the staying power at Petit. Petit is a very, very important race for us. The crew is really working hard getting all of us ready for a challenging event."
Q: Aside from Petit's length [1000 miles or 10 hours, whichever comes first], what are some of the other challenges the teams will encounter?
A: "Well, the fact that you begin the race in what's often very warm weather and busy traffic, then you get to late afternoon and the setting sun becomes a factor, then you're finally running in the darkness and the only lights you have to work with are the ancillary ones around the track and those on the car. Petit is really America's Le Mans, and in many ways it is quite similar to the famous 24 hours in France. The race may not be as long, but Road Atlanta is an equally difficult track to do well on, and you have to push hard if you want to win."
Q: You have been on the podium a lot this year. Describe those feelings.
A: "Well, it is always fun to be able to be on any of those steps, but we'd all like to have been on the top step more frequently. That's all in the past now though, and we have to do the best we can in the final two races."
Q: What have you been up to away from the track?
A: "Working my horses has taken up most of my time, and I've done a few equestrian events here in England with some good results. I am also happy to announce that I have recently partnered with iZon Eyewear who have come on board as a personal sponsor. They are a specialty eyeglass manufacturer and I could not be happier to be representing a product that I believe in, and to be associated with such a great group of people."
Q: Has this season unfolded in the way you thought, or hoped, it would?
A: "I'm not sure I can give a definitive answer to that actually. Going in, I felt my biggest challenge was to improve my overall driving skills. For the most part, I have accomplished that, and I feel that I have made some big steps forward in the last two races especially. Now the real challenge for me is to keep improving on the pace that I have found, at both Petit Le Mans and Laguna Seca, and the challenge for all of us in the team is to get back into the lead in the points championship."
Q: Petit Le Mans is less than 10 days away. Any other thoughts?
A: "Only that each of us on the Intersport team knows what is at stake. We drivers get all the attention, but neither Clint nor Jon or I would be able to accomplish what we have without the outstanding work ethic and determination of our crew members. If we are fortunate to win the LMP2 championship, and I believe we still can, it is going to be a true 'team' championship. We don't have the numbers [of personnel] that some of the other teams do, but we do have some of the best crew members in this sport and that counts for a lot. We all want to win, and I know that we will continue to put maximum effort into claiming the LMP2 championship in these last two races."

I recommend buying the foil cupcake liners at the store, and removing the paper inserts so you are only using the foil part of the liner! That way no sticking will occur!
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line 12 muffin tins with silicone or foil liners, (or just use a silicone muffin pan).
Place all of the ingredients (except the strawberries) in a blender or food processor, and blend until oats are smooth. Pour mixture into a medium sized bowl, and stir in strawberries. Divide remaining 1/2 cup diced strawberries over the top of each muffin. (This step is optional, but it really makes the strawberries burst with color and flavor on top of each muffin!)
Divide batter among cupcake liners, and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean.
Serve and enjoy!

BROOKSVILLE — Turkeys and cheese have long shared a kindred spirit, of sorts. They've bonded between grilled toast, atop deli platters and inside tortilla pinwheels.
So, it only made sense that when earlier this week thieves stole a pair of semi trucks from Hernando County, the attached trailers were filled with frozen turkeys and nacho cheese — worth a combined $150,000.
Pasco County sheriff's deputies, who haven't identified the suspects, recovered both trucks at the Flying J Travel Plaza in San Antonio off State Road 52.
Both vehicles had been stripped of their electronics, including a TV, laptop and satellite radio.
However, because the turkeys were still frozen and the cheese was still refrigerated, the groceries were left unharmed.
The first truck, owned by Heyl Truck Lines Inc., was stolen Sunday from the Circle K at 35075 Cortez Blvd. in Ridge Manor. Its trailer was packed with 37,700 pounds of frozen turkeys. That's about the weight of three adult male elephants.
The suspects stole the second truck on either Sunday or Monday from the Sunrise Plaza at 31100 Cortez Blvd. in Ridge Manor West. The WEL Cos.-owned vehicle was towing a trailer stocked with $75,000 in the creamy dairy product.
The thieves, authorities said, stole the semis by breaking out a small glass window at the bottom of the passenger door and then dislodging the ignition from the steering column.
Detectives still haven't determined whether the suspects were after the trucks or the food.
John Woodrow Cox can be reached at email@example.com or (352) 848-1432.

Cliff Lee UnHappy with Phillies 2013 Start
ABC Digital
Updated at
(NEW YORK) — After falling to the Indians on Wednesday, the Phillies now sit at 12-16 for the season.
Phillies starting pitcher Cliff Lee says the team needs to have "a little more pride" to get things turned around in the month of May.
"They pretty much pounded us both games, there's no way around it," Lee said, according to multiple media outlets. "They crushed us both games. It was never really close, either one of them."
"We have to have a little more pride than that and figure out a way to at least get back into games and make it somewhat competitive. Both games, it was never close," he continued.
Lee (2-2) is now winless in his last four starts and the Phillies are 5-13 when Lee, Roy Halladay, and Cole Hamels have made their starts.

For Penn
President: Princeton Provost Amy Gutmann
here for a transcription of the Press Conference.
Amy Gutmann, Princeton's Provost, has been nominated to be
Penn's 8th president by the Executive Committee of the
Trustees, Chairman James S. Riepe announced Thursday
morning in Houston Hall. The full Board will vote on Dr.
Gutmann's appointment at its February 20 Stated Meeting.
Gutmann, 54, the Laurance S. Rockefeller University Professor
of Politics and the University Center for Human Values,
will succeed President Judith Rodin on July 1. Dr.
Rodin announced last June that she planned to step down
completing a decade.
is a brilliant scholar with a demonstrated commitment to
undergraduate and graduate education, a proven and skilled
administrator who understands the challenges of running
a major research university and an articulate spokesperson
about the essential role of higher education in our lives
and in the future of our society," said Mr. Riepe, who
chaired the search committee.
has established an extraordinary record of achievement
during her more than 25 years at Princeton, most recently
as provost. She is widely regarded as a world-class scholar
whose research addresses many of the key issues facing
our society today--from religious freedom, to race and affirmative
action, to ethics and public affairs. As Dean of the Faculty,
she was hugely effective in attracting excellent faculty
to Princeton. Colleagues speak of her with the highest
regard: Ôfair and evenhanded, courageous and willing to
take on tough problems,' Ôrenowned for doing her homework, ' Ôthere
are no limits to what this person can achieve.' We are
confident that Amy is the ideal person to lead Penn forward
into the next stage of its evolution," Mr. Riepe said.
has enormous energy and a dynamic spirit," Dr. Gutmann
said. "It has extraordinary academic programs that span
12 schools, all of which are located together on one beautiful
urban campus. Under Judy Rodin's leadership, Penn has established
itself in the top rank of institutions, well positioned
to face the opportunities and the challenges that lie ahead.
I look forward with great enthusiasm to working with faculty,
students, staff, alumni and other members of the Penn family
to help the University build upon its tradition of excellence
in teaching, research and public service.
"I am
also looking forward to moving to the great city of Philadelphia," she
said, "with its wealth of cultural and historic institutions,
and to becoming an active citizen of Penn's vibrant West
Philadelphia community."
Riepe noted that the Board strongly believes it has found
in Dr. Gutmann "someone to expand upon the phenomenal momentum
the University has experienced during the last decadeÉ a
dynamic leader who is both a renowned scholar and skilled
administratorÉa champion of innovative academic ventures
with a proven ability to recruit faculty of the highest
statureÉsomeone who will grow Penn's financial resources,
enhance our entrepreneurial opportunities, and capitalize
on our many strengths."
Gutmann has been provost since 2001, serving as Princeton's
chief academic and chief budgetary officer, reporting to
the president. She is responsible for long-range planning
and for the coordination of the administrative and support
functions of the University with its academic purposes.
A faculty member there since 1976, she has taught political
philosophy, democratic theory, the history of political
thought and practical ethics.
her B.A. magna cum laude in 1971 from Radcliffe
College, she went on to earn an M.Sc. in political science
in 1972 from the London School of Economics and her Ph.D.
in political science in 1976 from Harvard University.
2003, she was awarded the Centennial Medal by Harvard
for "graduate
alumni who have made exceptional contributions to society." In
2000, she was awarded the President's Distinguished Teaching
Award by Princeton. She has also received the Bertram Mott
Award "in recognition of outstanding achievement towards
advancing the goals of higher education," the Ralph J.
Bunche Award "for the best scholarly work in political
science that explores the phenomenon of ethnic and cultural
pluralism," the North American Society for Social Philosophy
Book Award and the Gustavus Myers Human Rights Award for
the "outstanding book on the subject of human rights in
North America" for Color Conscious, which she co-authored
with K. Anthony Appiah.
Gutmann served as Princeton's Dean of the Faculty, 1995-97
and as Academic Advisor to the President, 1997-98. She
was the founding director of the University Center for
Human Values, a multi-disciplinary center that supports
undergraduate and graduate teaching, a visiting fellows
program, publication series and public discussions centered
around issues of ethics.
Gutmann is president of the American Society of Political
and Legal Philosophy. She is a fellow of the American Academy
of Arts and Sciences, the American Academy of Political
Science and the National Academy of Education. She
is a founding member of the Executive Committee of the
American Association of Practical and Professional Ethics.
She has lectured widely, in South Africa, Europe, Asia,
and North America. In 1994-95, she presented the Tanner
Lectures in Human Values at Stanford.
Gutmann has been a Fellow at Stanford's Center for Advanced
Study in the Behavioral Sciences (CASBS), a Visitor at
Princeton's Institute for Advanced Study, and a Visiting
Professor at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government. She
serves on the Board of Trustees of Stanford's CASBS and

This mountain is a round, dull looking Lava dome on the northern part of the San Francisco Peaks and Locket Meadow. Nothing stands out about the mountain itself, but the views from the top of the mountain are extraordinary. Since it sits at the end of Locket Meadow, you look right into to Inner Basin and see all the mountains that make up the San Francisco Peaks. The mountain sits in a very popular area but there is no trail to the top and the hike is very steep, so it is seldom hiked. The crowds hit the trail that leads into the Inner Basin. The hike itself is about 750 feet to the top, but it is very steep. The mountain abruptly rises out of the northern end of Locket Meadow.
There is no standard route. the mountain is almost perfectly round and is equally steep on all sides. You can hike it from any direction. You also can follow the road up to a saddle on the other side and hike it from there. The saddle is at 8692 feet. There are no climber trails.
Getting ThereFrom US 89 Heading north of Flagstaff turn left on a dirt road directly across from the Sunset Crater Rd. There is a sign that tells you which direction Locket Meadow is. Follow the signs and you cant go wrong. Once in Locket Meadow Park near the entrance. Sugarloaf is the first mountain you come to and is dwarfed compared to all the rest of the mountains.
Red TapeLocket Meadow Road is closed in the winter. Getting in can only be done on skies or snowshoes. No Parking Passes are required. Locket Meadow is also very crowded on weekends in the summer.
When To ClimbMay-Sept or Oct.
CampingLocket Meadow is a very popular place to camp. Camp Fires vary every year. If it is Dry then it may be illegal to have campfires. Check with the Forest Service.
GeologyAfter San Francisco Mountain blew its top, Sugarloaf started to form just on enterance to the Inner Basin. The surface of Sugarload is so heavily forested that clues to inner structure are very difficult to recognize. The dome reflects the shape of the one formed at Mout Saint Helens in Washington and was formed in the same way. Sugarloaf is a exogenous type of lava dome. There was a pumice mine at the base of Sugarloaf. The pumice was layed down before Sugarloaf was formed.

England coach Duncan Fletcher had to leave India on Saturday in order to accompany his ill wife back to their home in South Africa.
It is only a temporary absence from the tour for Fletcher as he is expected to return from their trip to Cape Town before play starts in Monday's third one-day international against India in Goa.
Assistant coach Matthew Maynard has taken charge of the team in the interim.
Families of the tourists, who have been on a nine-week tour, have been in India for the past two weeks.
Meanwhile, England's Ian Blackwell believes the team can bounce back from its losses in the first two games.
"On reflection, we thought we should have won both the games," he told BBC Sport.
"If we were a little more ruthless, then we could have probably been in a different position.
"But we are a young side and we just blew it, I guess. I hope we have shown that they are not unbeatable."
England's one-day form is a concern as it has lost seven of its last 10 one-dayers.

The AMD Radeon R9 290X Reviewby Ryan Smith on October 24, 2013 12:01 AM EST

A Note On Crossfire, 4K Compatibility, Power, & The Test
Before we dive into our formal testing, there are a few brief testing notes that bear mentioning.
First and foremost, on top of our normal testing we did some additional Crossfire compatibility testing to see if AMD's new XDMA Crossfire implementation ran into any artifacting or other issues that we didn't experience elsewhere. The good news there is that outside of the typical scenarios where games simply don't scale with AFR – something that affects SLI and CF equally – we didn't see any artifacts in the games themselves. The closest we came to a problem was with the intro videos for Total War: Rome 2, which have black horizontal lines due to the cards trying to AFR render said video at a higher framerate than it played at. Once in-game Rome was relatively fine; relatively because it's one of the games we have that doesn't see any performance benefit from AFR.
Unfortunately AMD's drivers for 290X are a bit raw when it comes to Crossfire. Of note, when running at a 4K resolution, we had a few instances of loading a game triggering an immediate system reboot. Now we've had crashes before, but nothing quite like this. After reporting it to AMD, AMD tells us that they've been able to reproduce the issue and have fixed it for the 290X launch drivers, which will be newer than the press drivers we used. Once those drivers are released we'll be checking to confirm, but we have no reason to doubt AMD at this time.
Speaking of 4K, due to the two controller nature of the PQ321 monitor we use there are some teething issues related to using 4K right now. Most games are fine at 4K, however we have found games that both NVIDIA and AMD have trouble with at one point or another. On the NVIDIA side Metro will occasionally lock up after switching resolutions, and on the AMD side GRID 2 will immediately crash if using the two controller (4K@60Hz) setup. In the case of the latter dropping down to a single controller (4K@30Hz) satisfies GRID while allowing us to test at 4K resolutions, and with V-sync off it doesn't have a performance impact versus 60Hz, but it is something AMD and Codemasters will need to fix.
Furthermore we also wanted to offer a quick update on the state of Crossfire on AMD's existing bridge based (non-XDMA) cards. The launch drivers for the 290X do not contain any further Crossfire improvements for bridge based cards, which means Eyefinity Crossfire frame pacing is still broken for all APIs. Of particular note for our testing, the 280X Crossfire setup ends up in a particularly nasty failure mode, simply dropping every other frame. It's being rendered, as evidenced by the consumption of the Present call, however as our FCAT testing shows it's apparently not making it to the master card. This has the humorous outcome of making the frame times rather smooth, but it makes Crossfire all but worthless as the additional frames are never displayed. Hopefully AMD can put a fork in the matter once and for all next month.
A Note On Testing Methodologies & Sustained Performance
Moving on to the matter of our testing methodology, we want to make note of some changes since our 280X review earlier this month. After having initially settled on Metro: Last Light for our gaming power/temp/noise benchmark, in a spot of poor planning on our part we have discovered that Metro scales poorly on SLI/CF setups, and as a result doesn't push those setups very hard. As such we have switched from Metro to Crysis 3 for our power/temp/noise benchmarking, as Crysis 3 was our second choice and has a similar degree of consistency to it as Metro while scaling very nicely across both AMD and NVIDIA multi-GPU setups. For single-GPU cards the impact on noise is measurably minor, as the workloads are similar, however power consumption will be a bit different due to the difference in CPU workloads between the benchmarks.
We also want to make quick note of our testing methodologies and how they are or are not impacted by temperature based throttling. For years we have done all of our GPU benchmarking by looping gaming benchmarks multiple times, both to combat the inherent run-to-run variation that we see in benchmarking, and more recently to serve as a warm-up activity for cards with temperature based throttling. While these methods have proved sufficient for the Radeon 7000 series, the GeForce 600 series, and even the GeForce 700 series, due to the laws of physics AMD's 95C throttle point takes longer to get to than NVIDIA's 80C throttle point. As a result it's harder to bring the 290X up to its sustained temperatures before the end of our benchmark runs. It will inevitably hit 95C in quiet mode, but not every benchmark runs long enough to reach that before the 3rd or 4th loop.
For the sake of consistency with past results we have not altered our benchmark methodology. However we wanted to be sure to point out this fact before getting to benchmarking, so that there's no confusion over how we're handling the matter. Consequently we believe our looping benchmarks run long enough to generally reach sustained performance numbers, but in all likelihood some of our numbers on the shortest benchmarks will skew low. For the next iteration of our benchmark suite we're most likely going to need to institute a pre-heating phase for all cards to counter AMD's 95C throttle point.
The Drivers
The press drivers for the 290X are Catalyst 13.11 Beta v5 (The "v" is AMD's nomenclature), which identify themselves as being from the driver branch 13.250. These are technically still in the 200 branch of AMD's drivers, but this is the first appearance of 250, as Catalyst 13.11 Beta v1 was still 13.200. AMD doesn't offer release notes on these beta drivers, but we found that they offered distinct improvements in GRID 2 and to a lesser extent Battlefield 3, and have updated our earlier results accordingly.
Meanwhile for NVIDIA we're using the recently released "game ready" 331.58 WHQL drivers.

46andtool - Thursday, October 24, 2013 - linkI dont know where your getting your information but your obviously nvidia biased because its all wrong. AMD is known for using poor reference coolers, once manufactures like sapphire and HIS roll out there cards in a couple weeks Im sure the noise and heat wont be a problem. and the 780ti is poised to be between a 780gtx and a titan, it will not be faster than a 290x, sorry. We already have the 780ti's specs..what Nvidia needs to focus on is dropping its insane pricing. Reply
SolMiester - Monday, October 28, 2013 - linkSorry bud, but the Ti will be much faster than Titan, otherwise there is no point, hell even the 780OC is enough to edge the Titan. Why are people going on about Titan, its a once in a blue moon product to fill a void that AMD left open with CUDA dev for prosumers...Full monty with perhaps 7ghz memory, wahey! Reply
Samus - Friday, October 25, 2013 - linkWhat in the world makes you think the 780Ti will be faster than Titan? That's ridiculous. What's next, a statement that the 760Ti will be faster than the 770? Reply
TheJian - Friday, October 25, 2013 - linkhttp://www.techradar.com/us/news/computing-compone...
Another shader and more mhz.
If the specs are true quite a few sites think it will be faster than titan.
Check the table. 780TI would win in gflops if leak is true. The extra 80mhz+1SMX mean it should either tie or barely beat it in nearly everything.
Even a tie at $650 would be quite awesome at less watts/heat/noise possibly. Of course it will be beat a week later buy a fully unlocked titan ultra or more mhz, or mhz+fully unlocked. NV won't just drop titan. They will make a better one easily. It's not like NV just sat on their butts for the last 8 months. It's comic anyone thinks AMD has won. OK, for a few weeks tops (and not really even now other than price looking at 1080p and the games I mentioned previously). Reply
ShieTar - Thursday, October 24, 2013 - linkIt doesn't cost less than a GTX780, it only has a lower MSRP. The actual price for which you can buy a GTX780 is already below 549$ today, so as usual you pay the same price for the same performance with both companies.
And testing 4K gaming is important right now, but it should be another 3-5 years before 4K performance actually impacts sales figures in any relevant way.
And about Titan? Keep in mind that it is 8 months old, still has one SMX disabled (unlike the Quadro K6000), and still uses less power in games than the 290X. So I wouldn't be surprised to see a Titan+ come out soon, with 15 SMX and higher base clocks, and as Ryan puts it in this article "building a refined GPU against a much more mature 28nm process". That should be enough to gain 10%-15% performance in anything restricted by computing power, thus showing a much more clear lead over the 290X.
The only games that the 290X will clearly win are those that are restricted by memory bandwidth. But nVidia have proven with the 770 that they can operate memory at 7GHz as well, so they can increase Titans bandwidth by 16% through clocks alone.
Don't get me wrong, the 290X looks like a very nice card, with a very good price to it. I just don't think nVidia has any reason to worry, this is just competition as usual, AMD have made their move, nVidia will follow. Reply
Drumsticks - Thursday, October 24, 2013 - linkhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Sub...
Searched on Newegg, sorted by lowest price, lowest one was surprise! $650. I don't think Newegg is over $100 off in their pricing with competitors. Reply
46andtool - Thursday, October 24, 2013 - linkhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N8...
your clearly horrible at searching Reply
TheJian - Friday, October 25, 2013 - link$580 isn't $550 though right? And out of stock. I wonder how many of these they can actually make seeing how hot it is already in every review pegged 94c. Nobody was able to OC it past 1125. They're clearly pushing this thing a lot already. Reply
ShieTar - Friday, October 25, 2013 - linkWell, color me surprised. I admittedly didn't check the US market, because for more than a decade now, electronics used to be sold in the Euro-Region with a price conversion assumption of 1€=1$, so everything was about 35% more expensive over here (but including 19% VAT of course).
So for this discussion I used our German comparison engines. Both the GTX780 and the R290X are sold for the same price of just over 500€ over here, which is basically 560$+19%VAT. I figured the same price policies would apply in the US, it basically always does.
Well, as international shipping is rarely more that 15$, it would seem like your cheapest way to get a 780 right now is to actually import it from Germany. Its always been the other way around with electronics, interesting to see it the other way around for once. Reply
46andtool - Thursday, October 24, 2013 - linkthe price of a 780gtx is not below $649 unless you are talking about a refurbished or open box card. Reply

text: I have a 16 week old Black Lab puppy (see avatar) I just rescued about two weeks ago, and every since I got him he's had a potty problem. He has an issue where when I put my coat on, or I grab the leash, and he decides to pee; now he has no problem going '#2' outside (or holding it), it's just the pee.. He was abused pretty bad before I got him, so I understand there will be some submissive urination, but this is different - he decides the floor is the potty-place just before we go outside. I don't think this is related to the abuse, but there is always a chance he was hit with a leash, or someone wearing a coat.. How I correct him (which doesn't work well): When I see him pee, I say 'no!' 'outside!' in a firm voice (but not yelling) - we proceed outside, he finishes his business and I praise him for going where I want him to. He's a really good boy, and learns everything so fast - we had basic obedience and fun tricks down in no time, but he can't seem to get this down right at all. What else should I do? Does anyone think neutering will help? I'm learning just as they are, so I'm a little lost. Any help is appreciated, ~Rob

I have several questions.
If one is stopped, and the officer starts asking questions which one does not wish to answer, does one have to invoke the right time after time after time; or can one simply invoke the right in general terms such as "I am invoking my fifth amendment right to remain silent; and I will, from this point, refuse to answer any further questions."?
Also, if one may invoke on the basis above, does that invocation become null and void if one does answer any question, or have any further communication after that invocation? Does one have to re-invoke the right in general terms -- assuming that is permissible -- once again?
When one invokes their Fifth Amendment right the listener will usually take that as an avoidance due to guilt not due to innocence. So this ruling places one in the realm of damned if you do and damned if you don't. If one does invoke, they are deemed to be guilty and have something to hide; and if one does not invoke they are deemed to have waived their right to silence and assumption of innocence.
Gun Control: The premise that a woman found in an alley, raped and strangled with her own pantyhose, is morally superior to allowing that same woman to defend her life with a firearm.

Flag Stop Art Fair: South Bay Lexus Dealership Becomes an Art Gallery
Bob Zoell's work
Gary Leonard
The Flag Stop art fair at South Bay Lexus in Torrance over Labor Day weekend wasn't billed as an art fair, but instead as an "alternative art experience." In truth, it was both, with elements ranging from a major survey of the work of Bob Zoell curated by Howard Fox, to the "Pod Alleys" outside the building in which rows of moving and storage crates functioned as micro-galleries.
By and large, both exhibitors and attendees reported that good times were had at the test-drive, if you will pardon the pun, of what the organizers hope will become an annual event. Future locations may vary, but the inaugural Flag Stop's encampment on the grounds and in the buildings of this luxury car dealership made for a curious context that was both surreal and familiar.
Many of the people in charge were exhibiting artists themselves, and that made for a palpable difference in overall vibe, which was both professional and casual. The majority of the staff was made up of artists, such as director Tm Gratkowski and event planner the tireless Tiel Park, who along with associate director Nick Lisica and the rest of the main committee invited participants from the broader professional L.A. art world in an organic process that, while resulting in a bit of aesthetic unevenness, achieved an impressive quality and variety of individual installations.
Bob Zoell's work
Gary Leonard
The larger-scale exhibition installations inside the building's garages and sprawling lobby, especially the Zoell and the group shows curated by William Moreno, Scott Canty, and Lily Siegel, made explicit the similarities in the displaying of artistic luxury goods and automotive ones, creating a sense of spectacle.

Several artists took the opportunity to create impressive and semi-site specific installations that activated otherwise inconvenient or under-used areas throughout the building itself, such as dark hallways and empty conference rooms.

Throughout the weekend, Flag Stop featured lively panel discussions and performances ranging from dancers and musicians to more interpretive actions that were far preferable to the usual barkers and sales reps that usually work the crowd at a car lot.
Bernard Fallon
Back outside, viewers were initially greeted by a block of overly traditional art-society exhibitions, watercolor landscapes and the like, but soon enough, pods belonging to painter Christopher Mercier and collagist Tm Gratkowski offered the first of many breaths of fresh air, and the quality of the work, though uneven, steadily improved as viewers encountered more and more innovative uses of these temporary spaces.
Olga Lah
Besides the clear crowd favorite, the sponge-wall environment by Olga Lah shown above, the dozens of pod shows alternated between innovative individual installation pieces and more traditionally formatted exhibitions. For example, the gallery-in-miniature installed in three pods belonging to Offramp Gallery, which included works from gallery artists Mark Steven Greenfield, Quinton Beimeller, Susan Sironi and Chuck Feesago.
Offramp Gallery
More cheeky, so to speak, installations like Johnny Naked's well-appointed sets for staging live nude model-drawing sessions and Carrie Sinclair Katz's room designed for the benefit of feline art-lovers -- not cat-lovers, but actual cats -- made the best use of the event's spirit of adventure.
Portez les Chats
Steven Hampton's "Super Salon" was an exercise in comfortable maximalism, with a color-riot of a group show.
Super Salon
DEN contemporary's Michael Napper was just one of several artists, including Olga Lah and Susan Sironi, whose art featured diverse forms of destroyed or altered books -- a fact that may not have been so striking to me in a different locale, but which in lieu of the shiny-toy consumerism of the place, seems worth noting.
Besides DEN and Offramp, a number of galleries like l2kontemporary, Neuartig, and LAMAG took the opportunity to show off smaller works in groups shows from their programs, mixed with the occasionally inspired nod to the unusual circumstance. The use of pods in this manner is becoming more typical at fairs like Basel, where they are nevertheless on the margins, and not the groovy main attraction as they were in Torrance.
While the format of certain installations certainly responded to the circumstance, surprisingly few artists chose to show or make work that dealt specifically with the role of industry, sustainability, and decay that one might have expected more of in such a setting. Sculptor Shizuko Greenblatt's uneasy meditation on these issues was a notable exception.
Shizuko Greenblatt
The best pod concepts overall did tend to be the instances where artists were allowed to create miniature environments rather than trying to tame the pod or remake it as a clean white box.
A great many of the pods featured installations that occupied the corners of the "rooms," which was not only helpful for audiences trying to get inside the 100 or square feet of each, but which helped to keep the experimental nature of the layout at the forefront of the experience, despite its overall resemblance to the mainstream Labor Day ritual of the car-lot shuffle.
