Soothing solution: Bolster your beauty from the inside out by drinking lots of water and loading up on omega-3s (essential fatty acids found in foods such as salmon and walnuts). "Omega- 3s boost hydration, so I recommend taking supplements to ensure you get enough," says Doris Day, M.D., a clinical assistant professor of dermatology at New York University Langone Medical Center.
Your daily skin regimen should start with a milky or creamy cleanser, which contains fewer stripping surfactants than gel formulas do. Try Naturopathica Sweet Lupine Cleansing Cream, $18, naturopathica.com. Follow with a cream or balm instead of a lotion. "They're richer andbetter at holding water in the skin," says Day, who likes those that contain antioxidants (green tea or niacinamide), humectants (hyaluronic acid or glycerin), and emollients (nut butters or oils). Try Episencial Protective Face Balm SPF 6, $7, at drugstores. "These creams insulate the skin, which is key when you're constantly going between the cold outside and the drying heat indoors," says Day.
If we were to personify winter worn hair, we'd probably describe it as dull, depressed, and apathetic. Plus, dry -hair side effects such as static cling make it extra hard to manage, says Teca Gillespie, a scientist for Pantene.
Soothing solution: Conditioner! It should include silicones to lock down the outer cuticle layer and seal in moisture. Equally important are quaternary ammonium compounds ("quats"), which "leave hair soft and silky, and neutralize the static electricity that causes flyaways," says cosmetics chemist Jim Hammer. Scan the label for quats such as cetrimonium chloride and behentrimonium chloride. Try Dove Intensive Repair Daily Treatment Conditioner, $4.75, at drugstores.
White flakes falling from a December sky: glorious. White flakes falling from a dry scalp: gross. Itching and flakes can be symptoms of both dandruff (a condition caused by a yeastlike fungus) and dry scalp (run-of-the-mill dry skin), says Day.
Soothing solution: Try a hydrating shampoo and conditioner. If they don't soothe your scalp after a week, celebrity stylist Kristan Serafino suggests using an intensive-care product, such as Moroccanoil Dry-No-More Professional Scalp Treatment, $45, moroccanoil.com. (Part your hair down the middle and apply the oil to your exposed scalp. Make a new part every half inch and massage the oil in as you go, until your scalp is saturated. Wash after 15 minutes.) If flakes still persist, you have dandruff. Switch to a medicated shampoo containing zinc pyrithione (the active ingredient in Garnier Fructis Anti-Dandruff Shampoo, $4.69, at drugstores). It will kill the fungus, and stop the itching and flakes.
Too many hot showers and not enough body cream can make yourskin resemble a desert creature's. "Arms and legs have fewer oil glands, so they tend to be drier and scalier than other parts, especially in the winter," says Day.
Soothing solution: Milk does a body good—inside and out. The natural fats and lactic acid in moo juice can soften skin, lightly exfoliate, and abate irritation, says Regina Viotto, a skin-care specialist at the Paul Labrecque Salon and Spa in New York City. Draw yourself a nourishing bath by adding two cups of skim milk to warm—not hot—water. Soak for about 15 minutes, pat skin dry, and apply amilk-and-honey cream to boost the benefits (try Burt's Bees Naturally Nourishing Milk & Honey Body Lotion, $10, at drugstores).

Brazil's THIAGO SCHIEFER Releases Debut Album Prototype: Freedom
July 12, 2013, 4 years ago
São Paulo, Brazil-based rock singer-songwriter THIAGO SCHIEFER has just released his first album, Prototype: Freedom. Produced by the artist and co-produced by Fabio Ribeiro (REMOVE SILENCE, ex-ANDRE MATOS) and Ale Souza (Remove Silence), the ten songs can be streamed and downloaded at his website - you name the price, or download it for free. The album can also be purchased for a fixed price at CD Baby (and soon at iTunes and others), or listened to via streaming.
Influenced by MUSE, QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE, RADIOHEAD and PINK FLOYD, among others, the album features both famous and less known guests: siding Fabio Ribeiro and Ale Souza, we can hear a guitar solo by Hugo Mariutti (Andre Matos, Remove Silence, ex-SHAMAN) and the voices of brazilian music singer Daniella Alcarpe and Schiefer's former bandmate Rodrigo Calejon.
The first thing that jumps to sight is the album's cover: a man in skirts holding his guitar. "I chose this picture as a contemporary dialog with the album's concept: freedom. I mean, what's the big deal with guys wearing skirts if women, long ago, began using pants? Why can't we choose to freely wear the clothes - and the ideas - best fit to us without judgement from others?", questions the artist. "I think men should do a revolution as women did last century. Change the ancient paradigms we still support."
To create an experience surrounding the music, the artist chose to renew the "rock album" concept by creating an interactive web "booklet" (available here), beautifully backgrounded by Amanda Louzada's photography. It comes with lyrics, photos, all the music for streaming and downloadable wallpapers. Those who want to dive deeper into the album can also explore the extras, named here as "The Archive" - these can be a text on the song's origin, a brief literary piece on the song's subject, it's demo or something else entirely.
With this work, Thiago Schiefer takes a firm first step into global rock music scene.
Prototype: Freedom tracklisting:
'City Lights'
'Rays On The Water'
'The Grand Stage'
'She Spoke'
'Tale Of Forecoming Lore'

OK, now what?
I have spent an inordinate amount of time over the past year with my head and thoughts glued to either a basketball or a football so now that both are not only over, but are soon to be brothers in lockout, what's left for me to focus my attention on?
There's NASCAR, of course, but I consider it more of necessity gone wild than an actual sport. Driving is something that is needed and I'm confused on how doing it faster and in ovals can make it more interesting.
There's golf, which I am personally going to attempt to do this summer (much to the amusement of any witnesses), if I can get my stomach to stop trying to get as far away from me as humanly possible. While it may be fun to do (I'll admit some speculation on this), I fail to be able to stomach it on the tv. To be honest, it's more a lack of connection with the players themselves. As a group, golfers seem to be a mellow, soft spoken lot, and when you don't have the players to take some of your attention, all you're left with is the sport itself, which is beating the crap out of a little white ball until it gets into a little cup in the ground. There's no violence, cursing, and even the announcers speak in hushed tones., so unless I'm in need of a nap…..
There's the WNBA….I think…are they playing right now?
So I guess, through the process of elimination, that leaves me with baseball as my sport of choice for the next month or two.
Taking a cursory look at the season so far, things look to be somewhat interesting entering my sports down-time. The Red Sox and the Yankees are slugging it out for the top spot in the AL East, unless you make them play each other, then it's Boston all day long. The reigning World Series Champs, the San Francisco Giants are first in the NL West. They aren't exactly tearing it up but hey, first is first.
Oh, Wait! I vaguely recall that the Phillies were expected to be the frontrunners this year with that wicked pitching staff they possess, how are they doing? Well, look at that, best record in the MLB, things seem to be going right for them so far. Am glancing down the standings as I type and….HOLY CRAP!
Taking a quick look at calender….yep, we are in the middle of June….and it's not the early 90's…that means that this is really happening! My lovable losers are at .500 and only 4 games back from first in the NL Central. I DO BELIEVE IN MIRACLES!!!!
And there you go, a reason to watch baseball.
Gotta tell you a secret right about now, I'm not really hurting for sports at the moment, I like them all, but with basketball and football in limbo, this kind of think is exactly where a majority of people are at right now. So my advice to you is this, if you find yourself in need of a sports fix, turn on some baseball. It's America's pastime and while it may not always be the most exciting 3 hours of your life, there's something about a slow moving baseball game on a warm summer day that just screams relaxing.
If not, there's always that WNBA….they ARE playing!
Chicks and balls, what's not to love?

Light and Fluffy Vegan Pancakes
Sometimes there's nothing better to soothe a winter's soul than Light and Fluffy Vegan Pancakes. In the spirit of tradition, they can be eaten for breakfast, but why stop there? They make a great after-dinner sweet treat, but even the "light" variety of pancakes can leave you feeling a bit heavy. So you know what? Forgo the dinner and go straight to the pancakes as your evening meal. Breakfast for dinner, that's what I say!
It's not as if I'm the first person to invent pancakes for dinner. But still the idea of it sounds so thrilling. Don't you think?
It was a recent reader who pointed out that I hadn't yet posted a pancake recipe. I'm from Missouri which is otherwise referred to as the "show-me" state. That means we have to see things for our own eyes so I quickly did a search and found out she was right. No pancakes? That had to be resolved…and quickly.
Besides, we're stuck in a the middle of "snowmageddon" here. I can't think of anything that works better than pancakes to lift the winter blues. Well, except for hugs from your kids, and lovin' from your honey. But you know what I mean!
For most of my life I ate the processed variety of "imitation" maple syrup. It was simple, easy to find, and cheap. What could go wrong with that formula?
Taste buds are funny things. They're like the rest of our body, they change over time. I, for one, am happy about that! But it means that today we wouldn't think about eating pancakes without real maple syrup!
The thing is, I went straight into pancake making mode without checking to see if we had any maple syrup. The look on my daughter's face when she threw open the refrigerator door and studied hard for a minute told me everything. We were out. And the snow-covered roads were not conducive to a quick trip to the store.
Necessity is the mother of invention. That's what my mom always says!
Moms are never wrong. Right?
When life hands you a fridge with no maple syrup, make blueberry sauce. That's not something my mom ever said, but I think it's still right as rain!
Light and Fluffy Pancakes
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons ground flax seed
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 2 cups soy or almond milk
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- ¼ cup vegan sour cream
- ¼ – ½ water
- 3 tablespoons margarine, softened
- Blueberry Sauce (see recipe below)
- In a medium-size bowl, combine the dry ingredients and give them a stir.
- In a separate medium-size bowl combine the soy or almond milk, apple cider vinegar and sour cream. Give it a good stir and let it sit for a minute.
- Pour the soy/almond milk mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Having things a little lumpy is alright.
- Add 1/4 cup of water and the softened margarine and stir the ingredients together. I like my pancake batter a little on the runny side so I added more water to mine to get it to the right consistency. Remember, you can always add more water as you go if the batter gets too thick.
- Place a skillet on your stove and raise the heat to medium or medium-high. Spray the skillet with vegetable cooking spray.
- When the skillet is hot enough, pour about 1/4 cup of pancake batter in a circle. You can use the bottom of the measuring cup to even out your circular pancakes…if your'e into that kind of thing. I'm usually able to get 3 pancakes per skillet. Let the pancakes cook until you see bubbles forming on the top-side batter. That is a sign that your pancakes are ready to be flipped. Turn them over carefully and cook the other side for another minute or two until they're done.
- Note: I prefer using cooking spray. If you'd like, you can use cooking oil in place of the vegetable spray.
- Place finished pancakes on a baking sheet and keep that in a slightly warmed oven while you finish the rest of the pancakes.
- Top with margarine and Blueberry Sauce
Blueberry Sauce
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup water
- 1 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- ¼ teaspoon lemon peel, finely grated (if available)
- Combine sugar, cornstarch and salt in a microwave-safe dish.
- Stir in water and follow that by adding blueberries. Stir it gently to combine.
- Cover with vented cover and microwave on high for 3 1/2 – 5 minutes until it has boiled about 1 minute. I do this in one-minute intervals, stirring gently (and carefully) in between.
- After the sauce has thickened, carefully remove the hot container from the microwave and allow it to cool for a bit before stirring in the lemon juice and peel.
- Pour over pancakes, vegan ice cream, cake…you name it!

I would much prefer a sauce like this than maple syrup. Looks great, Marly!
Oh that blueberry syrup is killing me!
I never get tired of pancakes. Ever.
Pancakes are the absolute favorite breakfast treat for my boys and my oldest son would go crazy over that blueberry sauce!
Any time I've gotten pancakes at a restaurant and they have fruit sauces for their pancakes I always choose that over maple syrup. This blueberry sauce looks awesome.
What a pretty stack of cakes! I much prefer a blueberry sauce of maple syrup – yours looks so delish!
These really do look light and fluffy. Yum!
Made these for dinner tonight… They were so delicious!
These are gorgeous!! This is exactly what I would like for dinner. In fact I've always been a huge fan of breakfast for dinner, and sometimes even dinner for breakfast when it' veggie pizza or lasagna!
Light and fluffy is always left behind in most of the vegan pancake recipes I've tried and I am so grateful to have found your recipe. The blueberry sauce will probably be hidden to be consumed via spoon solely by me. Just sayin'.
These look amazing. What would be a good substitiute for the vegan sour cream? Could I maybe use coconut based yogurt or a smashed banana?

I can recall many nuggets of wisdom recited by my parents over the years, but one was always louder than others — go to college.
The advice was something that I took to heart and, for me, I could think of no other path after high school except continuing my education.
I am proud of my degree and I am appreciative that I received the chance. I recognize that it is an opportunity that not all get the chance to pursue.
This week's cover story features the Gonzales family and the impact that can be made when someone stops and takes time to speak words of encouragement.
Texas Instruments employee Martha Gonzales had always dreamed of obtaining a college degree, but when motherhood and financial concerns forced her to drop out of community college, she continued to dream for her daughters.
Now she has seen each of her three girls not only enter college, but also thrive academically and in the business world. She credits TI as a source of both help and inspiration for helping make her dream a reality. Read more about Martha and her daughters in this week's cover story by neighborsgo special contributor Ruth Haesemeyer.

text: I know this board has a lot of private coaches, and I don't mean to upset anyone, but I think it's totally unfair that I can never get a court because coaches hog up all the courts. There are 3 tennis courts close to my house and there are 2 coaches who go set up their baskets at 5pm and don't leave until 9pm! One of the coaches uses up 2 courts for his kids academy so no one can play until 9pm. Isn't there a law that should prohibit this? I'm sure that what I pay for property taxes must go in some way to build/maintain these courts. So I'm basically paying rent so these coaches can go and make a profit. Whenever I have taken lessons it has always been at a club where the coach either pays rent or is hired by the club. I think this is how it should be. Has anyone had experience with this as well? I live in South Texas so I don't know if it's the same anywhere else.

Tip Jar
Geronimo - The Last Apache Holdout
was born of the Bedonkohe
tribe in No-doyohn Canon,
June, 1829, near present day
Clifton, Arizona. The fourth in a family of four boys and four girls, he was called Goyathlay (One Who Yawns.) In 1846, when he was seventeen, he was
admitted to the Council of the Warriors, which allowed him to marry. Soon, he received permission; married a woman named Alope, and the couple
had three children.
In the mid 1850s, the
tribe, who was at peace with the Mexican towns and neighboring
tribes, traveled into Old Mexico where they could trade. Camping
outside a Mexican town they called Kas-ki-yeh, they stayed for several
days. Leaving a few warriors to guard the camp, the rest of the men
went into town to trade. When they were returning from town, they were met
by several women and children who told them that Mexican troops had
attacked their camp.
They returned to camp to find
their guard warriors
killed, and their horses, supplies and arms, gone. Even worse,
many of the women and children had been killed as well. Of those
that lay dead were Goyathlay's wife, mother, and three children and as
a result, he hated all Mexicans for the rest of his life.
It was the slaughter of his family that turned him from
a peaceful Indian
into a bold warrior. Soon, he joined a fierce band of Apache
known as
Chiricahua and with them, took part in numerous raids in
northern Mexico and across the border into U.S. territory which are
now known as the states of
New Mexico
in 1887, photo by Ben Wittick.
This image available for
photographic prints & downloads
In 1876 the U.S. government attempted to move the
Chiricahua from their traditional home to the San Carlos Reservation,
a barren wasteland in east-central
Arizona, described as
"Hell's Forty Acres." Deprived of traditional tribal rights,
short on rations and homesick, they revolted.
Spurred by
Geronimo, hundreds of Apache
left the reservation and fled to Mexico, soon resuming their war
against the whites.
Geronimo and his
followers began ten years of intermittent raids against white
settlements, alternating with periods of peaceful farming on the San
Carlos reservation.
In 1882,
General George Crook
was recalled to
to conduct a campaign against the Apache.
Geronimo surrendered in January 1884, but, spurred by rumors of impending trials
and hangings, took flight from the San Carlos Reservation on May 17, 1885,
accompanied by 35 warriors, and 109 other men, women and children.
During this final campaign, at least
5,000 white soldiers and 500
auxiliaries were employed at various times in the capture of Geronimo's
small band. Five months and 1,645 miles later,
Geronimo was tracked to his camp in
Mexico's Sonora Mountains.

Exhausted, and hopelessly out
surrendered on March 27, 1886 at Cañon de Los Embudos in Sonora, Mexico. His
band consisted of a handful of warriors, women, and children. Also
found was a young white boy named
Jimmy "Santiago" McKinn, that the Indians
had kidnapped some six months earlier in September. The "rescued" boy had
become so assimilated to the Apache lifestyle, he cried when he was forced
to return to his parents.
Also traveling with
General Crook
was the photographer, C.S. Fly of
fame. After the bands capture, he was able to take some of the most famous
photographs in U.S. history.
The soldiers gathered the group and began the
trek to Fort Bowie,
Arizona. However, near
the border,
Geronimo, fearing that they would be murdered once they
crossed into U.S. territory, bolted with
Chief Naiche,
11 warriors, and a few women and boys, who were able to escape back into
the Sierra Madra.
As a result,
Brigadier General Nelson A. Miles replaced
Crook as commander on April
2, 1886.
At a conference on September 3, 1886, at Skeleton Canyon in
Arizona, General Miles induced
Geronimo to surrender once again,
promising him that, after an indefinite exile in Florida, he and his
followers would be permitted to return to
The promise was never kept.
and his fellow prisoners were shipped by box-car to Florida for
imprisonment and put to hard labor.
It was May, 1887 before he saw his family. Several years later, in 1894, he
was moved to Fort Sill in
Oklahoma Territory where he attempted to "fit in." He farmed and joined the
Dutch Reformed Church, which expelled him because of his inability to
resist gambling.
As years passed, stories of
warrior ferocity made him into a legend that fascinated non-Indians
Indians alike. As a result, he appeared at numerous fairs, selling
souvenirs and photographs of
himself. In 1905 he was quite the
sensation when he appeared in President Theodore Roosevelt's inaugural
The public fascination with him led to his appearances in
Wild West Shows such as
Buffalo Bill
Cody's and Pawnee Bill's at the turn of the century,
which drew
hundreds of spectators. These productions staged re-creations of
historic battles, "Indian Races," live
buffalo, and the biggest
attraction of all - famous people such as
Sitting Bull,
Chief Joseph,
and Rains in the Face (reported to be the man who killed Custer).
The Indians joined the shows for the
opportunities to travel not only the United States, but also in
Europe. Geronimo
also participated in a number of other "attractions" that displayed
him to curious onlookers, including the Omaha and Buffalo expositions
and the

Canada: A Weak Neighbor Is a Drag on the Economy
After raising interest rates by 50 basis points this year, the Bank of Canada is finished lifting rates for the time being. Inflation is easing faster than expected, while economic performances abroad and at home are uncertain. If the Canadian economy sputters or the U.S. doesn't pick up steam, a rate cut is possible.
The hawkish tone evident over the last several months by BOC Governor David A. Dodge was absent in his speeches on June 12 and 18. That's because the central bank now expects inflation -- currently at 3% -- to reach its 2% target before early 2004, as forecasted by the BOC in April.
A big reason for shifting inflation expectations is the weak economic recovery in the U.S. Exports to the U.S. make up about a third of Canada's gross domestic product. In April, exports to the U.S. were off 4.1% from a year ago. And the trend will continue until U.S. auto sales and business investment begin to accelerate.
The outbreak of SARS in Toronto and a case in May of mad cow disease are making for a "very weak" second quarter, said Dodge. The central bank expects real GDP to rise by 2.5% this year, down from last year's 3.3% performance.
Factories will bear the brunt of the slowdown. Shipments of manufactured goods in April fell 3.4%, causing factory inventories to approach a record high. And reducing the excess stockpiles to desirable levels could take a while: New orders fell 4.5% in April and unfilled orders declined for an eighth straight month. But there are signs of wider softening, with May payrolls falling for a second consecutive month, by 13,000.
The BOC is also keeping an eye on the Canadian dollar, now near a six-year high against its U.S. counterpart. The rapid rise "will have a dampening influence" on the economy later this year and into 2004, said Dodge. The dollar's drag could worsen if central banks in the U.S. and euro zone cut rates while the BOC stands pat. Canada's higher rates would become more attractive, pushing the currency even higher.

text: This is a question I'd really like to pose to English-speakers from UK considering US English differs to ours greatly! Years and years ago when I was a wee nipper I learnt that the word 'the' is pronounced 'the' when a word it precedes starts with a consonant, and 'thee' when it precedes one starting with a vowel. How correct is this? I know the word 'thee' is a different word to 'the' and has a different meaning, but that's how they taught us to pronounce th word. Thanks! Nick

ISSN 1678-4561. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S1413-81232004000400026.
To study the impact of the use of a participant caring process on the individual and collective health care applied to a group of pregnant. The study was carried out through health care practices with ten pregnant individuals from September to December, 2002. Group activities were developed in six health workshops followed by a home visit to each participant. Using qualitative approach, data were collected through participant observations and interviews during the workshops and home visits, as designed in the Ecological and Holistic Care Reference. The effects of the participant health care were identified trough a process of analysis, and synthesis in the following dimensions: (a) the pregnant woman with herself; (b) the pregnant woman with her baby and family members; (c) the pregnant woman and family members with the community. The search for knowledge based on the participant approach influenced the enlargement of the concept of health and citizenship of pregnant women and their environment. The use of new paradigm approaches can contribute to promoting health as well as to subsidizing interdisciplinary studies.

This week in history
From the pages of the St. Petersburg Times and Evening Independent.
100 years ago | 1909
Nov. 17: Sam Rainey's left hand was badly mauled by an alligator. Queen, kept at the rear of Will Carpenter's store, was to be tied up and sent to an exhibit at an ostrich farm. But she grabbed Rainey's left arm and was rolling him on the floor when Carpenter appeared. He whacked her on the snout with an iron bar to make her release Rainey. Queen, estimated to be nearly 75 years old and 11 feet long, was "roped and tied" by bystanders and taken to the exhibit on the afternoon train.
Nov. 19: The City Council put out bids to pave Central Avenue to Ninth Street, expanding the business district westward, literally and psychologically, from "its present terminus at Fifth Street."
75 years ago | 1934
Nov. 17: Pinellas County school enrollment was 13,874. The top cities: St. Petersburg, 5,125; Clearwater, 1,637; Gulfport, 1,165. The county had 11,111 white and 2,763 black students (1,830 in St. Petersburg), and 489 teachers.
Nov. 18: Florida was ready for its "biggest and best" tourist season, with 1.5 million visitors expected at its peak. Already, 10,000 tourists had registered with the city. The Times issued its annual "mail away" edition profiling the city for prospective visitors.
50 years ago | 1959
Nov. 16: Al Lang celebrated his 89th birthday. Lang, also known as Mr. Baseball or Sunshine Al, came here from Pittsburgh around 1909 on doctor's advice. Instead of dying, he became mayor, twice, and persuaded most major league clubs to hold spring training in Florida. Lang also pushed through an ordinance making the city's benches green. (He died three months later.)
Nov. 19: Northeast Shopping Center, near Fourth Street N and 38th Avenue, celebrated its grand opening. Stores included Eckerd Drug Store, Fremac's, Colony Shop, Woolworth, Service Hardware, DeSear's Appliance and Publix. (Publix is still there.)
Nov. 21: At 10:30 a.m. 13 floats, 10 bands and 28 balloon characters escorted Santa Claus into town in the annual Christmas parade. Santa and his sleigh rode on the Times float.
25 years ago | 1984
Nov. 16: Robert J. "Bobby Joe" Long, a 31-year-old Tampa man, was arrested for the rape and murder of nine women, "leaving a trail of their bodies in ditches and fields" in Hillsborough and Pasco counties. (Sentenced to death in 1986, Long remains in prison.)

Arts and Crafts
When it comes to summer camp, there are two kinds of kids in this overrated adventure called parenthood. One kind begins whining around Easter that Jason, Jared, Jeremy and every other J-named boy he knows is going to camp and he wants to go, too. The other kind cries at the mere mention of leaving home for environs and experiences unknown. They act the same, however, on the first day of camp. Death-gripping the back door, they pee in their new shorts, smack the nearest human with a carefully packed sack lunch and scream with blood-curdling intensity, "I DON'T WANNA GO!" Skip the refresher course in child psychology this year. Turn instead to the Irving Arts Center, an unlikely ally with an innovative family event that offers a hands-on preview to its summer arts camps for kids. The Arts Spring Fling on Saturday is a free afternoon of mural painting, clay molding, painting, drawing, sidewalk art, music and theater that can turn even the most unwilling child into a committed camper. Parents can meet the camp instructors and even pre-register for IAC's one- and two-week KidsArts camps that run June 9 through August 1. Irving Arts Center, 3333 N. MacArthur Blvd., Irving.

Live & Local
Reading is more than fundamental
Gimme an L-I-B-R-A-R-Y! What's that spell? Better than T-V! Move the kids out of the hypnotic blue glow of the television and into the realm of interaction with real-live people. As unusual as it may sound, there is such a thing as active learning, and it's at Dallas Public Library branches. Kids can sing, dance, hear stories, perhaps even yodel, as they are surreptitiously educated through the Library Live! series. And it's free. Warning: Children may actually enjoy learning and come home with knowledge of Africa, Greece, poetry, Texas history and how they fit into the world around them. Caution: They may become cultured. Attention: Little ones may develop a love for reading, making future readers for us and an honor student bumper sticker for you. For a list of activities, call 214-670-1400. --Merritt Martin

Building/Monument Sign Application
Sign applications can be submitted over the counter or online. All items on the Sign Permit Submittal Checklist must be provided for your application to be complete. Incomplete applications may delay processing.
Check for a center or complex's approved Sign Package Critera. For questions contact Dean Miller (480) 350-8435.
Sign Standards:
Signs should be considered a component of the design concept for the site and building architecture. The size, proportion, and scale of signs contribute to the overall quality of a project when they can relate to building details rather than compete with them (e.g. signs which extend above the roof line, or cover architectural details, columns, or windows).
In most instances, signage should be designed in proportion with respect to its size, location, and background. For example, signs having size to background ratios of 1 to 4, or 1 to 3, tend to be in better proportion than signs having ratios of 1 to 1, or 1 to 100. Further, signs should not exceed 80% of their vertical/horizontal backgrounds.
The utilization of quality materials for signs is encouraged in all instances. Color and material selection for signs should be related to the color scheme and texture of the building or project materials rather than depend upon "high contrast" factors in order to be effective.

Dwelling on the Past: College Football Rankings, Write-Offs Need to WaitSeptember 5, 2008
I have one problem with college football...
Teams are evaluated and judged on how they played the week before. The first week of the season is full of cupcake schedules and therefore offers very few elite matchups.
Oklahoma annihilates Chattanooga, Ohio State shuts out Youngstown State, and did you see how Southern Miss absolutely dominated Louisiana-Lafayette?!
What do these games prove to anybody? The college football season is 12 or 13 games, and America looks at one week, the first week. What is proven from an elite team manhandling a far inferior opponent? Absolutely nothing.
But then there are those elite matchups that define the kickoff weekend. Missouri outlasted Illinois, and Chase Daniel looked good against a highly ranked opponent. USC, the class of the Pac-10, pulverized a mediocre and postseason-caliber ACC team in Virginia. And then, who can forget Clemson laying the biggest egg of the season against Lord Saban and Alabama?
It's been one week into the college football season, and Clemson and the ACC are already touted as the most disappointing and inferior conference. I give Clemson credit for taking on Alabama in the first game of the season. Expectations were high for a championship-caliber Clemson squad, but the Tigers did not come to play in Atlanta.
The Crimson Tide and newly christened prince of sports Nick Saban proved themselves as worthy contenders, and, with a prime-time audience, Alabama sent early warnings to the SEC and the rest of the nation for what can be expected of them.
Clemson, on the other hand, has been knocked out of the top 25, lost any chance for a national championship, and lost all respect from the other conferences after representing the ACC.
One week is gone. Clemson lost one game, the first game, and pollsters and analysts are calling it a disappointing season.
In college football, America cannot look back at last weekend and make judgements about the top 25 teams in the country. How can anybody? Ninety percent of the elite teams played cupcakes last week and proved nothing. Oh, the Sooners racked up 50 points before halftime; that's impressive! Wait, Chattanooga has a college football team?
College football is a sport that looks ahead to the next week. Who cares what you did last week? The football season is more than one game, and who says that Clemson won't wake up after last weekend, run the table, and shock the nation by playing in the BCS title game in January. The team has the potential, but it's being judged on one game's performance.
There are football matchups this weekend where people are determining victors based on their performance against a cupcake last week. Southern Miss racked up 600-plus yards of offense against a mighty defense in Lousiana-Lafayette. Does that mean that they are going to put up 500-plus yards against Auburn's SEC defense?
Auburn shut out Louisiana-Monroe's spread offense last week. Granted, not even the risen Tide could beat UL-Monroe...Does this domination mean that the Tigers will hold Southern Miss scoreless? Of course not...
America cannot judge a team on last week's performance, whether triumphant or dismal. We must look at our favorite team's potential, its attitude, and the way it practices that week. It's true in college football that any team on any given Saturday (or Thursday) can beat anybody. The team that wins a football game is the one that comes to play.
Alabama came to play against a better football team. Chattanooga barely showed up because it was paid half a million dollars to sit there and be humiliated and allow Oklahoma to "impress" the media.
Let's not dwell in the past, but instead look toward to the future and the next 12 best weeks of the year.

SAN JOSE, CALIF.—Red-hot striker Robbie Keane scored twice as the Los Angeles Galaxy knocked the San Jose Earthquakes out of the MLS playoffs on Wednesday night.
The Supporters' Shield winners fell flat in their most important match of the year — crashing out of the playoffs far earlier than anyone expected. But Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena wasn't the least bit surprised by his side's performance.
"We've been real good since July. We actually were pretty comfortable that we could come in here and win. We were confident about that. We certainly screwed up the other night at home," Arena said after the win. "Actually, the game the other night gave us the confidence that we could come in here and win because we felt that it was a good matchup for us."
It was the Earthquakes' first loss at Buck Shaw stadium this season — a small, intimate venue that has been their fortress all season.
"It's amazing," Galaxy defender Omar Gonzalez said after the win. "They did well during the year, but they couldn't pull it off tonight. It felt great to hear that whistle blow, and just to finally be over with those guys. We came out on top, and I thought that they fought well. But they just couldn't pull it off tonight."
"We hadn't beat this team all season, but we obviously beat them when it matters," David Beckham said. "We knew that we were coming here with confidence. Of course, losing the first game is not ideal preparation, but we won the one that matters."
The Galaxy will now face either the Seattle Sounders or Real Salt Lake in the Western Conference finals on Sunday night.
One of the biggest moments of the night came when San Jose defender Victor Bernardez had to be subbed off in the 12th minute with a right knee sprain. He had been the glue holding the Earthquakes defense together, and upon his exit the San Jose backline became unhinged.
Keane opened the scoring in the 21st minute, when Bernardez's replacement Ike Opara didn't step up to his dribble. Keane hit a rocket of a shot, beating Quakes goalkeeper Jon Busch to his left. It pinged off the post and into the back of the net, giving Los Angeles a 1-0 lead.
"We were smart," Arena said of his squad, particularly in the first half. "We were strong in the early going, yet patient and the first goal was obviously important. The second goal, I think San Jose put their heads down, and the third goal obviously was a killer."
That second goal came when Landon Donovan – who looked much more lively than he did on Sunday – received a great pass from defender Tommy Meyer. He then slotted a perfect ball through to Keane, who turned the corner on Busch and finished into the back of the net. In the 34th minute, it was 2-0 in favor of Los Angeles.
It only took five minutes for the defending champs to strike again, as they continuously put pressure on the Earthquakes struggling backline. It was Donovan again with the assist, this time crossing the ball to Mike Magee. The post-season clutch-man finished the pass calmly and coolly past Busch.
Down 3-0 before halftime, the outlook was bleak for San Jose. But this is the club that has mastered the late-game comeback – surely they had at least a goal in them.
And when the Earthquakes brought on Alan Gordon, their go-to striker for just these types of matches, the fans at Buck Shaw started to get loud again.
Gordon came through with a goal in the 82nd minute, but it was too little too late. Opara could have saved the Earthquakes season in stoppage time, after he was wide open with the ball in the middle of the penalty box, but skied his shot.
"We just had to stay strong, stay together because they was always going to have a chance to score," Beckham said of the minutes following Gordon's goal. "Funnily enough, [Gordon] always seems to score against us, and against his teams he's played for. So he's always going to be a threat. But we showed a lot of character in the last eight minutes."
One of the biggest factors in the Galaxy win was the performance of center backs Tommy Meyer and Gonzalez. The two put in an excellent 90 minutes, and their teammates couldn't have been happier with their showing on the night.
"The two center backs were great," Donovan said. "Tommy [Meyer] became a man tonight. We're going to need that, at least two more times, hopefully three more times, out of him. If he plays like that, we've got a good chance."
The Galaxy move on the Western Conference finals, while the 2012 Supporters' Shield winners see their season ended abruptly.
"We have guys that are champions on this team, and they know how to respond when things go against you," Galaxy captain Landon Donovan said after the win. "I thought we were terrific throughout the game. If we were a little better, we could have scored a lot of goals tonight. I think it helps us a lot going into Sunday."
The Galaxy will face either the Seattle Sounders or Real Salt Lake at the Home Depot Center on Sunday night in the first leg of the Western Conference finals.

Very nice place in an excellent location. I walked to downtown Toronto in about 25 minutes. The staff is helpful and nice. There is a very nice atmosphere, with activities organized by the staff every evening and a big common area for hanging around with people. The washrooms and showers are very clean. The kitchen is not so big but it has everything you will need to cook something simple. The breakfast is good, not great... and avoid the coffee from the machine, its awful! Have tea instead...

It is a very nice place to stay. The staff is very friendly and kind. It is also in a convenient location, just a few meters away from bus stops that will take you directly to the city centre and the train station. The bar downstairs the hostel is very cool. Also, the kitchen and washing/drying machines are great. However, the breakfast could have been better... Overall, I really liked the place and would definitely stay there again!

Big guns opt out
By N Jagannath Das | ENS | Published: 30th October 2012 08:50 AM |
Last Updated: 30th October 2012 08:50 AM | A+A A- |
The 59th Senior National Boxing Championship, to begin at Lal Bahadur Stadium from Tuesday, will be sans sparkle. The Olympic pugilists, except Sumit Sangwan, will be missing in action.
But other big names like Vijender Singh, Akhil Kumar, Suranjoy Singh, Vikas Kishan, Devendro Singh and Shiva Thapa are skipping the event. This being the first nationals after the Olympics, many of the pugilists have decided to opt out for various reasons.
However, for the boxers on the fringe of national recognition, this will be a huge opportunity to make their mark. The decision of the top boxers to ignore the nationals has not gone well with few former pugilists. V Devarajan, the 1994 World Cup bronze medallist, said the top boxers should have competed in this national meet.
"I always feel that participating in national meets is a great opportunity for any boxer. For a young boxer to fight against big names would boost his morale and career. But unfortunately, the big names will not make it to the meet. It is a sad development," said Devarajan.
Devarajan was more surprised with some young pugilists like Suranjoy, Devendro or Shiva Thapa opting out of the meet. "They are young and they should have taken part so that it could have given them a good exposure," he said. However, their absence could see some new talent coming up. "We have some exciting talent in the light weight categories. Some of these young boxers in these categories have performed well in international meets," he said.
There was disappointment after India returned empty-handed in the men's section, failing to win a single medal in the London Olympics. Mary Kom saved the blushes by winning a bronze in the women's section.
"We had expected at least two medals but we were done in by the scoring system. This is the right time when the pugilists are told about the new scoring system. It is important to collect points with intelligent boxing," Devarajan said.
Even as Hyderabad is gearing up for the national championship, there is a tinge of sadness that boxing talent from South is not being encouraged. State labour minister Danam Nagender, who is also the president of AP Boxing Association, has been critical of the policies of the Indian federation. He clearly said good talent from South is being ignored. "This is unfair," he said.
This sport after Vijender Singh and Mary Kom's feats in successive Olympics at Beijing and London and some good performances in Worlds and Asian Games has seen India developing into a force to reckon with.
The federation has also made a few significant steps to promote the sport. However, sadly boxing talent has basically come from two States of Haryana and Manipur. States like Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh, who had produced good pugilists, have been lagging behind for various reasons of late. Services and Railways have always dominated the national championship with the former winning team title for 50 times.
However, the last five years has seen Railways taking the honours. Coach Chiranjeevi said the state association has made all the arrangements for an exciting national championship.
Tamil Nadu have reportedly sent two teams for the championship.

You can stop boasting to your family down in the south about how much better you have it on the Pacific side. According to this somewhat scientific map, the West Coast isn't without its glaring flaws, which include air pollution, chronic homelessness, and yes, bestiality.
Appropriately dubbed the United States of Shame, researchers used Census data (some from 2011), U.S. Health rankings, and some snark to craft this colorful map that details just how screwed up we all are.
Keeping it local, California is absolutely the worst when it comes to air pollution (you can thank your buddies down in Los Angeles for that one) where there's 15.2 micrograms per cubic meter -- whatever that means. So we're pretty filthy, but at least we're not screwing our livestock (Washington) or incapable of passing the sixth grade (Maine).
And it's official: California no longer has the worst drivers -- that'd be Massachusetts. So shut up about our driving already.
In any event, have a quick scan of this map and see which state you'd fit in most (New Mexico for us). If anything, it'll certainly make for interesting conversation at the next family reunion.

Emaar Properties and Dubai Holding, the development partners of Mohammed Bin Rashid City (MBR City), the largest joint venture in the region's real estate sector, announced by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, UAE Vice President and Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, has unveiled Dubai Hills, the first project in the new 'city within the city' development.
The new gated community will provide ultra-luxury residences, designed to the bespoke considerations of the owners. Truly unparalleled in the residential project development history of the city, Dubai Hills ushers in a brand-new lifestyle that will set a new mark in high-end lifestyles, following the enormous success of 'Emirates Hills' developed by Emaar.
The exclusive gated community is designed around a new 18-hole championship golf course to be developed by world-renowned golf course experts, with the villas to overlook the rolling greens and fairways. Each villa will be set on spacious plots of 20,000 to 30,000 sq ft, giving customers the option to develop mansions of their choice in the heart of the city. The community assures residents of safety, security, reliability and effortless access to all lifestyle amenities within an integrated neighbourhood.
Ahmad Al Matrooshi, Managing Director, Emaar Properties, said: "As the first project in MBR City, which reflects the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed on the future growth of the Emirate, Dubai Hills will bring an unprecedented dimension to luxury living. The highest benchmarks in quality and design aesthetics that are envisaged for every aspect of MBR City will be highlighted at Dubai Hills, which will become a referral point in the region for superior residential lifestyle development. With demand for premium homes in the city increasing, led by Dubai's status as the region's business and lifestyle hub, Dubai Hills is set to be the first choice for the discerning property investors."
"Dubai Hills will mark one of the most remarkable additions to the residential property landscape of the city, mirroring the highest standards set for MBR City by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed. By drawing on the strong development competencies, the new residential development will further energise the property sector. Set in the ambience of the new golf course, the exclusive gated community will be a sanctuary for relaxation, with the development aspects to also focus on sustainability and environmental-friendliness," he added.
The Dubai Hills development will be located between Emirates Road and Al Khail Road, with easy access to all the business and tourism landmarks in the city. In addition to the lifestyle amenities within the community such as parks, retail centres, schools and healthcare facilities, residents will also have easy access to the largest park in the heart of MBR City as well as the Mall of the World development, the world's largest mall, and the region's largest family entertainment centre, developed in partnership with Universal Studios International.
Potential customers can register interest for plots and villas in Dubai Hills at www.emaar.com [2] or by calling toll-free: 800 EMAAR (36227). Registered applicants will be contacted shortly on the commencement of sales.
Envisaged as a brand new city that redefines the context of urban development, MBR City will focus on family tourism with a central park that is 30 percent bigger than Hyde Park in London, the new mall and the family entertainment centre. The city will also have a dedicated area for promoting entrepreneurship and innovation in the region. Developed to meet the future needs of Dubai, MBR City is also aligned to Vision 2030 to boost the UAE economy to enter a new era where it becomes the capital of entrepreneurship, arts, culture and family tourism.
Emaar Properties has proven competencies in developing iconic projects including Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building, and The Dubai Mall, the world's largest shopping and entertainment destination, set in the 500-acre Downtown Dubai development. The company is also the pioneer of master-planned communities in Dubai having handed over more than 33,500 homes in prestigious developments such as Emirates Living, Dubai Marina and Arabian Ranches – all in Dubai, and other key international markets.
Dubai Holding is a global investment holding company with interests in 24 countries, managed through two business groups - Dubai Holding Commercial Operations Group (DHCOG) and Dubai Holding Investment Group (DHIG). Dubai Holding Commercial Operations Group develops and manages Dubai Holding's assets in hospitality, specialised business parks, real estate and telecommunications.

Caledonia Argus
In December, the city of Caledonia received a request to install a new cell phone tower in Sprague Woods. On Jan. 13, the City Council denied the request during its regular meeting.
The proposal had the 300-foot tower situated to avoid disturbing the airport but improve cell phone service. Last month, Mayor Robert Burns questioned whether the donation of the park prohibited such construction, and the council tabled the discussion until the legality of such a proposal could be determined.
Upon further review, the council chose not to allow the tower in the woods. In addition to previous concerns, Burns commented that at 300 feet tall, the tower would be the first thing people would see coming into Caledonia from the north.
"Personally, I don't like the idea of that being the first thing you see coming up the hill into Caledonia," he said.
The city suggested placing the tower near the dump site out of town, as it would be out of sight and out of mind, but Verizon wanted a tower closer to town.
Council member Tom Murphy said Sprague Woods was not donated with the intent of turning it into a commercial property. Murphy worried that leasing a portion of the land could discourage a future donation. He said he believed that, at the very least, this issue warranted a public hearing, but the council ultimately voted to deny the request.
In a related issue, the council agreed to look into removing trees from Sprague Woods that were rotten and at risk of falling. Administrative Coordinator Mike Gerardy said he believed the cost of removing the trees would be offset by the sale of the lumber.
Coffee shop drive-thru approved
In November, the council first discussed an application from Norman Snodgrass to install a drive-thru window on the new coffee shop he intends to open.
The coffee shop will be located in the building of the former China Buffet. The drive-up window will be located on the north side of the building and requires paving a portion of the vacant lot between Snodgrass' building and the liquor store. The entrance will be on Kingston Street with an exit into the alley behind the buildings. At the time, the council's major concern was the effect on traffic and ensuring handicap accessibility to the building.
During the most recent council meeting, Snodgrass returned with a plan to manage many of these concerns. Handicap access will be placed next to the drive-thru window, which means no alterations will need to be done to the Kingston Street sidewalk. Pole barricades will be installed to protect the gas main on the corner of the building near the drive-thru exit. A 15-foot green space will separate the drive-thru lane from the liquor store.
Snodgrass was confident that by re-landscaping the vacant lot, water leakage into his building and the liquor store could be prevented.
Burns made a motion to approve the request to allow a curb cut along Kingston to allow access to the new drive-up window and handicap entrance. The motion also allowed traffic to exit through the alley behind the liquor store on the condition a barricade is installed to protect utility lines. The council unanimously approved the application.
The coffee shop will open in March, but construction on the drive-thru is not expected to be completed until April, weather permitting.
Victim services
The Caledonia City Council once again agreed to contribute to the Houston County Victim Services fund in the amount $2,000. The council made an identical donation in 2013 to help fund the county service.
Victim Services had previously been paid for by the state, but was cut in 2012. Since then the county has asked the cities to assist with funding.
Murphy said he agreed Victim Services was a worth-while program but felt the County Attorney's Office should be able to cover the service and questioned how many cases the Attorney's Office handles in a year.
Council Member Randi Vick made the motion to approve the $2,000 contribution to Victim Services, which was seconded by Murphy and was approved by the council. Following the vote, Burns asked that the city request statistics on how many court cases per year are handled through Victim Services.
Damaged meters
City Administrator Ted Schoonover informed the council that a few of the new radio water meters have been breaking down due to freezing conditions. The question brought to the council is whether the city or the homeowner is liable to pay for a replacement.
Council Member Dewayne Schroeder argued that it was not the city's fault the meters broke as it not in the city's power to keep the meters from freezing. Burns was in agreement that the damage was not in the council's control but is the result of the property owner's inattention.
No decision was made at the meeting. Schoonover agreed to develop a policy for replacing damaged meters.
Resignation and hire
The council accepted the resignation of part-time officer Tim Irwin. Irwin said his retirement is due to significant changes in the state retirement system. The council thanked Irwin for his service to Caledonia.
Officer Sheldon Haedtke was hired as a permanent part-time officer. Haedtke has previously worked for Caledonia and this is considered an internal hire.
• The council approved the estimated quote for the codification of city ordinances. Every six years, the city of Caledonia goes through the process of arranging new ordinances into the ordinance book for any government entity, such as the city or county, that requires ordinance information on Caledonia. This codification process will be the first update with all ordinances adopted since 2004. The estimated cost is between $3,000 and $4,000.
• An application was approved by the council to allow Kraus Oil to raise the highway pedestal sign an additional 60 inches to allow for better visibility. In addition, the council approved its request to redo the canopy sign above the gas pumps.
• The council passed a motion to advertise the use of the city auditorium in the Caledonia Argus.
• The Caledonia Police Department has established a new ride-along policy. In addition, the city agreed to advertise for the hiring of three new part-time police officers.
• The Caledonia Fireman's Annual Appreciation and Blowout is scheduled for Friday, Jan. 24. Social hour starts at 6 p.m. and the dinner is at 7 p.m. in the Caledonia City Auditorium basement.
The meeting ended with a closed session for a wage negotiations. No decision was made upon returning into open session.
The next regularly scheduled City Council meeting is set for Feb. 10.

Another list of songs I really love, this time leaning a bit on the heavy side.
- I by Black Sabbath (performed by Heaven & Hell). This is one of my favourite Dio-era Sabbath songs, from the underrated Dehumanizer album (Dio/Sabb box set). This sizzling live version is performed by the reformed Dio-era version of the band which is playing and recording under the name Heaven & Hell.
- 30 Days in the Hole by Gov't Mule. An old Humble Pie song, I like the Gov't Mule version an awful lot, especially the live version on their Live…With a Little Help from Our Friends CD.
- Dreaming Neon Black by Nevermore. One of my favourite metal bands, this was really the song that got me interested in them about 10 years ago. It's from their breakout concept album Dreaming Neon Black. This version is from the live CD The Year of the Voyager. Lead singer Warrel Dane's solo CD Praises to the War Machine is also very good.
- Slingshot by The Joe Perry Project. Lots of great songs on the recent Joe Perry Project CD Have Guitar Will Travel and this is just one of them. Perry's day job is guitarist for Aerosmith.
- Soul Creek by Black Stone Cherry. Black Stone Cherry is an amazing newish band, a hard rockin' combination of southern blues rock and heavy metal. Kind of like The Allman Brothers on steroids. In a good way. Either of their two CDs, both Black Stone Cherry and Folklore & Superstition, are well worth checking out.

Vanderbilt's 2013 season is beginning a lot like its 2012 campaign.
After three games last year, the Commodores were just 1-2, just as they are this season. One of those games was a gut-wrenching opening-day loss (Ole Miss this year, South Carolina in last), another was a blowout against an overmatched FCS opponent (Austin Peay, Presbyterian) and the other, a disappointing 10-point loss on the road (South Carolina, Northwestern).
As coach James Franklin reminded the press on Monday, the Commodores' schedule has been tougher than most.
"South Carolina was ranked 12th or 13th going into that game. A few weeks ago we played Ole Miss, who is now ranked in the Top 25. Not many teams have played two Top 25 teams in their first three games. Also, we were on the road against South Carolina making it that much tougher. We had a similar conversation last year in that, we are 1-2, the sky is falling on our season. We've talked to our guys about this, we have two losses to very good football teams," he said.
The Commodores are the Southeastern Conference's only team besides Georgia to play two opponents currently ranked in the Top 25. Four SEC teams haven't faced a ranked team yet.
Again, that's similar to last season, as both Northwestern and South Carolina finished in the Top 25.
But in other ways, the season's start has dissimilar.
Vanderbilt was a good first quarter team a year ago, out-scoring opponents 67-43 and leading after a quarter in two of the first three games. This year, VU has held a lead after one quarter just once, and has been throttled by a 31-3 count after the first period.
"Offensively we need to start out better. We need to execute and make plays to avoid three-and-outs which will hep our defense. We need to be much more efficient on third downs and we also need to protect the ball and the quarterback better," Franklin said.
Vanderbilt hopes this season ends like the last one. The 1-2 start turned into a 8-2 finish, and the 'Dores have great opportunity to get things headed in the right direction the next two weeks. Saturday's opponent, Massachusetts, is 0-3, and Alabama-Birmingham follows the week after.
Last year's schedule didn't ease up at a similar point. VU was blown out by Georgia in its fourth game, and lost to Florida two games later, before running the table.
-- WR Jordan Matthews continues his climb up both the VU and SEC career charts. He now has 174 catches for 2,682 yards, ranking him fifth and fourth, respectively, on Vanderbilt's all-time charts. On Saturday, Matthews passed Alabama's Julio Jones for the No. 15 spot on the league's yardage chart, and is three shy of tying Tennessee's Marcus Nash for 20th in receptions. He leads the league with 24 catches and ranks second with 395 yards this season.
-- CB Kenny Ladler had 14 tackles on Saturday, with 10 being solo stops. Ladler leads the SEC with 18 solo tackles, and ranks tied for third overall with 24 total stops.
-- P Taylor Hudson shanked his first collegiate punt vs. Ole Miss, and his first effort on the road was a mediocre 37-yard effort. Otherwise, he's been lights-out, averaging 44.9 yards per attempt, which ranks sixth in the league. That included a 75-yarder on Saturday.
-- QB Austyn Carta-Samuels ranks eighth in the league in total offense with 231.7 yards per game. His three interceptions tie him with Aaron Murray for the conference lead.
SERIES HISTORY: Vanderbilt and Massachusetts have played once, that being a 49-7 VU win in Nashville on Oct. 27 last year.
QUOTE TO NOTE: "I do think we have some concerns. I think some of it is the inexperience at the position and we will take a look at that this week. More than anything we need to play faster and we need to play confident." -- coach James Franklin, on the team's sub-par play at linebacker.
Scouting the running game: Vanderbilt ranks last in the league in rushing yards per game (138.7) and attempt (4.1). However, it got a boost from Wesley Tate on Saturday. Tate, who didn't have an attempt in the first half, played "angry" in the second half according to teammates, and picked up 71 yards on 10 tries operating mostly out of the wildcat formation. UMass is giving up 7.2 yards per carry, so VU should find things easier this week.
Scouting the passing game: Carta-Samuels was just 12-of-22 for 147 yards, one touchdown and one interception on Saturday, but was limited by a line that couldn't protect him: he was sacked five times. Matthews caught eight of the 12 completions as VU limited the number of players running routes in order to get better protection. Again, that should get better against a UMass defense giving up 10.3 yards per throw. The Minutemen have also failed to register a sack in three games.
Scouting the run defense: Vanderbilt gave up 220 yards on 49 carries, and once again got hurt by a mobile quarterback when Connor Shaw carried 19 times for 84 yards. The 'Dores rank 11th in the SEC in yards per game (170.3) and seventh in yards per carry (4.26). The Minutemen gain just 3.2 yards per try.
Scouting the pass defense: After allowing 28 completions on 38 attempts for 359 yards and three scores, VU has now given up 232 yards per game, which ranks 11th. Teams are completing 69.3 percent of their passes, the worst rate in the conference. Opponents are doing much of their damage underneath, as VU gave up 178 yards to tight ends and running backs against Carolina. But UMass has had troubles throwing the ball, splitting reps between two quarterbacks and getting just 4.3 yards per try.
Scouting the special teams: K Carey Spear hit A 54-yard field goal with plenty to spare, and has been consistent in not allowing returns (12 touch-backs in 17 tries). But VU simply can't seem to get anything going in kickoff returns (18.3-yard average, with a long of 34) or in punt returns (a 4.7-yard average).
-- WR Chris Boyd was expected to return soon from a suspension related to a rape by teammates. Boyd was not a participant, but police were not pleased with his answers and he was therefore slapped with felony accessory after-the-fact charges. Those were reduced last Friday to a misdemeanor, but Vanderbilt -- which had stayed out of the case and let the Nashville police and district attorney handle the case -- was unaware of the severity of the charges until their announcement last week. Boyd remains suspended indefinitely and Franklin will not comment as the school handles discipline from here.
-- MLB Chase Garnham has not played since the opener. VU does not disclose injuries, so it's unknown how long Garnham will be out, though the fact that he's not listed on the depth chart means it will likely be an extended absence.
-- RB Wesley Tate is listed in an "or" situation with Brian Kimbrow and Jerron Seymour for Saturday, but perhaps it's telling that his name is listed first after Saturday's quality performance.

Yesterday was a big day for Sony in a number of different ways.
First, Sony announced that it had restored access to its PlayStation Store.The store was taken down in wake of the hack attack in mid-April.
What should have been good news was tempered a bit as well. According to a story at the LA Times, "The Welcome Back package Sony promised last month alongside ID-theft insurance isn't yet available in the online storefront." This continued delay will likely irritate a number of Playstation Network (PSN) users who keep being thanked by Sony for their patience in light of the inconvenience of both the hack attack and its own delayed response in preventing any further harm that may stem from the attack.
In addition, Sony and Epsilon - which had a breach of its own earlier this year - testified yesterday about the details of their individual hack attacks before the US House Energy and Commerce Committee's Subcommittee on Commerce, Manufacturing, and Trade. Both companies defended their IT security and customer breach notification processes.
According to this article at Government Executive, Sony Network Entertainment President Tim Schaaff told the Subcommittee that,
"Despite taking what we believe were extremely appropriate and substantial steps to build a safe and protected network, hackers were able to get into our network."
And according to this story at the Boston Globe, Mr. Schaaff also told the Subcommittee that:
"We believe the security we had was very, very strong and we were in good shape."
Of course, Mr. Schaaff didn't say what benchmark Sony was measuring against when he claimed the Sony's network security was "very, very strong." Many IT security folks - and especially hackers - have not been impressed by Sony's security measures pre- or post-hack attack.
Sony and Epsilon both said that they supported some sort of federal legislation that would create a uniform national standard for data breach notification (see Sony's congressional testimony (PDF) here and Epsilon's testimony (PDF) here. Mr. Schaaff also gave some issues to consider as the law is being crafted:
"Laws - and common sense - provide for companies to investigate breaches, gather the facts, and then report data losses publicly. If you reverse that order - issuing vague or speculative statements before you have specific and reliable information - you either confuse and panic people, without giving them useful facts, or you bombard them with so many announcements that they become background noise."
Overlooking the fact that this statement was a backdoor way of again justifying Sony's extremely slow notification of its customers about the PSN hack, the ideas highlighted by Mr. Schaaff have merit and should be contemplated.
Finally, as I mentioned, Sony's new IT security measures have not impressed hackers much. To drive home the point, reports first surfaced last night and seem to be confirmed today that a hacking group by the name of Lulzsec has stolen detailed information from 1 million "users who entered Sony competitions run by its Pictures Entertainment web site," this article at the International Business Times reports.
The information includes "names, birth dates, addresses, emails, phone numbers and passwords" the IBT story says.
Lulzsec claims that it hacked into Sony's network to show how vulnerable the company still is to simple cyber attack vectors.
If this keeps up, I am going to have to start developing a "Sony got hacked" blog post template.

The native rhododendron, Western Azalea, is blooming this month in scattered locations throughout the county's higher mountains. Fond of semi-shade, it's often found growing along creeks and canyon bottoms. Like its ornamental cousins, western azalea's fragrant white (sometimes pink or yellow tinted) flowers are borne in ornate clusters. Palomar Mountain State Park harbors a colony of them alongside a trail linking Doane Valley and Chimney Flats. White-flowering azaleas are recovering along the Azalea Glen Trail in Cuyamaca Rancho State Park, the area thoroughly burned during the 2003 Cedar Fire.
