Coach: Corries "C.C." Culpepper (second season, 6-4) | Last season: 6-4 | Class: 4A, District 11 | Colors: Navy, red and white
A-listers Maurice Hagens
Rushed for more than 1,500 yards last season and returns for his junior season 10 pounds lighter with a quicker initial step. The bruising fullback hasn't missed a weightlifting session or practice in three seasons and with that dedication, Hagens is a threat for the county's rushing title.
Antonio Wallace
TBT's most versatile player isn't expected to come off the field this season. Slated to be the shutdown corner, biggest threat in the passing game and the Titans' kick returner, Wallace's speed is matched by his strength, with a 330-pound bench press added to his resume.
Sam Jones
One of the hardest-hitting linebackers in the county, Jones is the only Titan who routinely tries to bring down Hagens by himself in practice. Coach C.C. Culpepper said Jones brings a Ray Lewis-type intensity to the defense and is the clear-cut emotional leader of the squad.
Rising star D.D. Johnson
The Titans' other cornerback is expected to be tested early and often as opponents are likely to shy away from Wallace's side of the field. The senior has drawn interest from college scouts and if he can play to his potential, throwing the ball against TBT will prove difficult.
Stunt man Riaz Gwyn
Guy who does the dirty work
For the past three years, the defensive end has arrived at every practice by taking a 7-mile, 30-minute bus ride from his home near University Mall in Tampa. Culpepper describes Gwyn as a silent leader, saying he'd be surprised if he has said 20 words since joining the team.
Cutting-room floor
Three things the Titans need to avoid
1. Entitlement. After a 6-4 season, one of its best in recent history, the team has to continue moving forward. Most of the progress came in nondistrict play, and after the regular season Tampa Bay Tech played in a bowl game instead of the postseason.
2. Suspensions. Five players missed six weeks after an altercation with Freedom, resulting in a $3,250 fine. The suspensions lasted until only two games remained.
3. Slow start. The team opened last season with four straight wins. If they can repeat their early-season success, the postseason may be within reach as the Titans close the year with three consecutive home games.
"It's good to see a team rejuvenate themselves like Tampa Bay Tech did. They're going to find out the hardest part about improvement is maintaining it, but with C.C., I think they can stay at that level." — Hillsborough coach Earl Garcia

Rising Scottish heavyweight star Gary "The Highland Sting" Cornish is eager to prove he's the real deal by become the country's first ever world champion.
Despite nominal amateur breeding, the 6ft 7in 'Highlander' has quietly amalgamated 16 wins as a professional, with eight victims – including the last four – being sent for an early shower.
London fans can take another look at the 26 year old joiner tomorrow when he collides with Croatia's former K1 fighter Ivica Perkovic over six rounds this Saturday at the Copper Box Arena.
Remaining tickets for the Rock The Box 2 show are available from the Eventim Box Office on 0844 249 1000 or at eventim.co.uk
Name: Gary Cornish
Weight: Heavyweight
Born: Inverness
Age: 26
Family background: I've a younger sister and three older brothers. Two are a similar size to what I am – one's a wee bit shorter. None of the other brothers boxed but I believe an uncle boxed in the army. I live in Inverness and I've got two sons, aged six and three.
Trade: I've been a joiner for ten years, since I left school.
Nickname: 'Highlander'. Inverness is the capital of the Scottish Highlands.
What age did you become interested in boxing and why? My older brothers always picked on me so I had to become a scrapper by necessity. Things have changed around a bit now, mind!
That said, I was quite a late starter to boxing. As a youngster I was far more into my football and I played centre forward at quite a good level. I only started going to the boxing gym around the age of 18 or 19 to get fitter for the football but the coach there suggested I had a spar and I just loved it.
What do you recall of your amateur career? It was frustrating because, due to my size, I really struggled to get fights and I had hardly any sparring. In four years, I had just nine bouts. I won them all, five by stoppage.
I represented the Inverness City ABC and was coached by Laurie Redfern. I had my first contest at 19 or 20 and I went on to win the Scottish ABA super-heavyweight title. That was probably the highlight of my amateur career.
I also boxed for a Scottish Select side against an English Select side at a town hall in London. I stopped a boy called Daniel in about 40 seconds, my quickest kayo.
Why did you decide to turn pro when you did? I was really struggling to get amateur bouts and the next Commonwealth Games were still three years away. I went down to London to spar Dereck Chisora and I thought I did alright so that sort of helped make my mind up for me.
Tell us about your back up team: From day one as a pro, I've been managed and promoted by Tommy Gilmour and I'm trained by Paul Geddes. Apparently Paul was the first ever Scottish ABA super-heavyweight champion from Inverness. He gives me an awful lot of time and dedication. He looks after my boxing, strength and conditioning, nutrition and diet. The lot.
What's your training schedule? Which parts do you most and least enjoy? I train at the Gym 300 in Inverness and I tend to be training all the time.
However, when we get a fight date, I set an eight week program and I'll train six days a week. Because I continue to work as a joiner right up until my fights, I usually arrive at the gym at 6.30 in the morning. My program usually revolves around explosive movements. I do a lot of different weight and strength exercises. Paul mixes things up pretty well. I train very hard and do a lot of pad work. I do my running in the evening, after work.
My favourite part of training would be the sparring but unfortunately there's really no one up in Scotland for me to spar. When I've the time, I'll travel down to England I've done sessions with Dereck Chisora, David Price, Audley Harrison and Danny Hughes. However, for several of my fights I've not throw a single punch in the gym.
The worst thing about training would be the hill sprints. We've some killer hills here in Inverness!
Describe your style? What are your best qualities? I like to work off my jab and use my advantages, like all tall fighters. I think I'm fast on my feet for a big guy and I've also got quite fast hands compared to the others in my division.
What specifically do you need to work on to fully optimise your potential as a fighter? I need to acquire more experience, both in fights and through sparring. Inverness is 140 miles north of Glasgow so we're pretty isolated. I usually have to go down to England or even overseas to get decent work. I've probably only had four or five proper spars in my life!
What have you found to be the biggest difference between the pro and amateur codes? The pace of the amateurs was more flat out. In the pros, you need to relax more because the fights are over longer periods. I learned that from sparring with Chisora.
Who is the best opponent that you've shared a ring with? It's a toss up between Dereck (Chisora) and David Price. I've sparred with both. They're both very good but for different reasons. Dereck has very good movement, cuts the ring off well and really makes you work. David has lots of power.
I wouldn't like to be pushed on who I think would win were they to meet but it would be a very good fight.
All time favourite fighter: It's between Lennox Lewis and the Klitschko brothers. All really put the training in, serve their time in the gym.
All time favourite fight: Lenox Lewis against Vitali Klitschko. Lennox was getting beat that night.
Which current match would you most like to see made? It'll never happen but I'd love to see Wladimir fight Vitali (Klitschko). I think Wladimir would probably win. He's a lot more cautious, gives nothing away. He's very hard to land on.
What is your routine on fight day? I wake up when I wake up. I don't set alarms. Then I may go out for a wee run because I like to train right up to the fight, keep active.
I usually have a porridge for breakfast and I'll ensure that I keep hydrated right through the day. For lunch, I'll have eggs and chicken. I might go for a walk in the afternoon.
I try not to think too much about the fight until I get to the changing rooms. I stay pretty calm. My coach always says that he gets more nervous than I do.
Entrance music: Usually it's 'Can't Stop' by the Red Hot Chilli Peppers, same as the Klitschkos.
What are your ambitions as a boxer? Just to keep this unbeaten record going for as long as I can and hopefully some titles might come my way. I'd love to be the first Scot to challenge for, and hopefully win, the British heavyweight title.
How do you relax? Simple stuff. I watch football or play pool and stuff with my mates at the pub. Even when I don't have a fight arranged, I still like to train. It's my life.
Football team: Celtic. I used to go quite a bit but seldom get the time now. From the English Premier League, I like Arsenal.
Read: I'm not an avid reader. The other week I bought my first book, Alex Fergusson's autobiography, which is quite a good read.
Music: I like dance music.
Films/TV: I like lots of films. I always watch 'Braveheart' in the week leading up to my fights. On TV, I watch Friends, Big Bang Theory and the football but generally don't have much time for tele.
Aspiration in life: To go as far as I possibly can in boxing. For my family to stay healthy and just to lead a good life.
Motto: Train hard. Fight easy.
Tommy Gilmour MBE is the undisputed Godfather of Scottish boxing. First licensed at the age of 18, the 60 year old Glaswegian promoter-manager has groomed scores of champions over the past four decades, navigating Pat Clinton and Paul Weir to world titles.
However, the dapper don has never been involved with a heavyweight of renown. He hopes Gary Cornish can break that duck.
"Gary Cornish was brought to me about three years ago by his amateur trainer, Laurie Redfern who, as a boxer himself, fought several lads looked after by my dad (Tommy Snr).
The big man (Cornish) had only had nine amateur fights and I think Laurie recognised that one of the very few virtues that I might have is patience. We both acknowledged that Gary had very limited experience so he couldn't be just thrown to the wolves.
Laurie trusted that I could steer the boy through the ranks slowly; invest time, effort and money into him. You don't get to play for Manchester United when you've only played nine football matches in your life.
At first sighting, two things impressed me about Gary. Firstly, there was the cut of the boy. He was 6ft 7in tall and weighed 17 stone yet looked like an athlete. He wasn't a fat lazy lump like too many of the young heavyweights coming through these days. That suggested to me that Gary was keen to give boxing his best go. Secondly, I liked his natural speed and agility for such a big man.
Turning professional, fighting the giants, was a huge, huge step up for him. He was always very much a work in progress. However, when we'd identify his mistakes in each pro fight, he'd work extremely hard in the gym to eliminate them before his next outing. You could see him constantly progressing.
Gary would also put himself out to travel wherever, England or overseas, to secure some quality sparring. To an extent, he's put his life on hold to serve his apprenticeship as a fighter. More so than any other weight category, heavyweights take many years to mature and Gary has the enthusiasm required to be a success.
Over the last two and a half years we've crammed in 16 professional fights. We've brought him tall ones, short ones, fat ones, southpaws, swingers and Gary's found a way to beat all of them. In a recent fight at the York Hall he got caught smack bang on the chin (by Portugal's Humberto Evora) yet he got up and went on to win the fight by stoppage. So there's absolutely no question about whether he has the 'bottle'.
On a personal level, he's quite a quiet man but I get along very well with him. If I had one criticism of his make up as a fighter it's that he's a bit too laid back.
I like to think I've achieved a lot during my life in boxing but Scotland has never had a heavyweight of any renown. The only one who came close to fighting for the British title was Dundee's Ken Shaw, who got beat (on a first round stoppage) by Freddie Mills in a final eliminator down in Haringey in 1948. Ken was one of my dad's fighters but he weighed barely 13 stone. Steering a Scottish fighter to a British heavyweight title fight would be another wee bit of history for myself.
Saturday's fight will be Gary's sixth of 2013 and we're confident he can bring his year to a good end with a sixth win. After the New Year, we'll definitely start moving him and by this time next year I'm confident that Gary Cornish will be fighting 12 round championship fights. He's certainly capable of getting to European title level, at least."

Sara Blakely: My Confession
Sara Blakely, founder of Spanx, was just named the youngest self-made billionaire by Forbes Magazine. Yes, SELF-MADE BILLIONAIRE. No trust fund. No rich husband. All on her own. Unfrikkinreal.
When I see Sara Blakely, I am triggered.
Our lives are parallel – up until the Billion Dollar List part of course!
Sara Blakely, founder of a hosiery company. Me, founder of a promotional products company.
She bombed the LSAT. I bombed the GMAT.
That failure made her rethink her life. That failure made me rethink my life.
She founded her company in 2000. I founded my company in 1999.
She started her company with $5000.00. I started my company with $5000.00.
She's inspired by Oprah Winfrey and Richard Branson. I'm inspired by Oprah Winfrey and Richard Branson.
She is growing her company around the world today. I sold my company in 2006 to be a mom.
And my confession?
I sometimes wonder where I'd be if I hadn't. I don't believe in regrets, but when I see Sara Blakely, she gets my business juices flowing and she inspires me to up my game.
She makes me wonder, WHAT IF?
WHAT IF I hadn't traded my successful company for motherhood?
What if?
I'll never know.
Watch this rockstar:
I'd love to know, did you ever give up a career for motherhod? Did you ever throw in the towel on something great? Have you ever had any regrets or second guessed yourself? Have you ever wondered, WHAT IF?
Other articles you might enjoy:
"WHAT IF" tomorrow was your last day on Earth? I think it is normal at times to question the path not taken but in the end you have to look at it like, " If this were my last day on Earth, would I be happy with my decision?" I have no doubt that your answer is YES!! By the way, you are amazing as a business woman and a mom…at least in my book:)
Erica – I can't even begin to tell you how much this Forbes article "triggered" me as well. I've had a lot of "what if" scenarios racing through my mind in the last month or so, the most recent literally just 2 hours ago. I've been thinking about "what if" so much lately that earlier this month I actually registered the domain "NoMoreWhatIf.com" and I am soon embarking on a new journey instead of looking back in a few years and find myself asking "what if" yet again. You just might be my perfect first feature! Your post today is great and unbelievable timing for me. I'm taking it as a sign that I'm on the right track with my project. Stay tuned!
Erin, how cool is that? Congrats to you and your new venture!! I look forward to seeing what's next for you. 🙂 No more what ifs! (For the record, this was my first ever, what if. I'm not one to look back), 😉
Mothers guilt is hard hitting but yes, the 'What If' question appears often now that my children are responsible and need less of me. I have the understanding that I was just as capable then as I am now – I could have worked it all out. But there we have it: 20/20. With this in mind, I regret not trusting my instincts and appreciating my strength. Fast forward to present time – I am more driven, focused and determined to make up for betraying my passions and selling myself short. I'm definitely playing catch up and racing against some ridiculous clock. Embrace the challenges and share the lessons – especially to our daughters. You can have the best of all worlds – provided you accept that it will not look exactly as you planned. Thankfully, with these discussions and posts, our daughters will have even more choices tomorrow.
Thanks Erica, this article reminds and motivates one to get on with it 😉
WHAT IF… you started again. The "what if's" in our lives never go away. But instead of looking back… look forward 🙂
Hi Erica,
I gave up a lot to be a mom. I have asked myself the what if question so many times! Most of the women in my profession who are making a lot of money do not have children or have 2 or 3 nannies. They do not see their children much. Me, I don't have much money, I cannot afford luxaries but I have something very special: Two wonderful boys who love to spend time with me. I know everything about them, I know everything that goes on in ther life. I saw their first hockey goal and many other things that I would not have seen if I had pursue my career. You are doing great as a mom!
Sniff sniff Cathy! Thank you on behalf of all the moms who have sacrificed for their children.
Erica, you have the best of both worlds. Your loving caring family and a successful career. So what if you do not have those many 0000000 associated to your name. I am sure its not ALL wonderful on her end. What you have created goes on for many lifetimes, a product goes on until the NEXT BEST THING comes around. NO regrets .
All she did was revolt against unsightely panty lines and evolve the entire hosiery industry – if you have a game changing idea it's never too late!
Loved the post. Don't think what if. Look at what you have created since being a mother. It's only a billion dollars. 🙂
Great post Erica. You traded a career for MOTHERHOOD. There's no better job than that! Don't be so hard on yourself. You've become a huge success so enjoy every minute of it.

The terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001 on the United States have raised concerns about the security implications of federally funded research. That has led several agencies to categorize some of the research as "sensitive but unclassified" (SBU). Many academics have protested the trend, which puts scientists in the uncomfortable position of not being able to publish their findings or involve foreign nationals in the project. Today, in an apparent concession to the government, a National Research Council (NRC) panel issued a report acknowledging that the SBU designation may indeed be appropriate for some rare projects. But the panel has urged the government to use this classification sparingly and to spell out the criteria for its use.
Using the SBU category helps government agencies assign research problems to the best and brightest minds, including on those campuses that do not accept any classified work. "Sensitive but unclassified may have a role in very limited areas," says Jacques Gansler, vice president for research at the University of Maryland, College Park, and co-chair of NRC's Committee on a New University-Government Partnership for Science and Security. But Gansler and other panelists say that the government needs to standardize the definition of SBU--more than 50 definitions are currently used by agencies--so that very few projects end up falling under that category.
The National Academies' report is based on several regional meetings with government, university, and industry representatives. At these discussions, officials from the Department of Defense, the Department of Homeland Security, and other federal agencies have pointed out the need to fortify campus research against potential espionage by terrorist groups. While acknowledging those concerns, university administrators and scientists have warned that policies such as restricting the publication of research findings and excluding foreign nationals from projects may weaken national security by undermining fundamental research.
To resolve the tension between the two sides, the NRC panel suggests setting up a high-level Science and Security Commission within the White House to monitor security policies affecting the research enterprise, from looking into how export-control rules should be applied at university campuses to examining visa policies concerning foreign scholars. The commission would be co-chaired by the National Security Advisor and the director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy and housed within the National Security Council.
"The U.S. security and research communities need to work together to weigh the latest information about potential threats," says Alice Gast, co-chair of the panel and president of Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. "We are very conscious of the security concerns. But we really need to get this balance right."
Having a federal entity dedicated to addressing science and security concerns is a great idea, says Robert Hardy of the nonprofit Council on Government Relations. "The question is whether it would be at a high enough administrative level within the federal establishment to have any real authority," he says.

This dissertation examines issues concerning sap flux scaled estimates of the canopy-averaged transpiration rate of trees per unit leaf area (EL) and stomatal conductance (GS), as well as their implications in the water and carbon balance of individuals and stands, with the final goal of an integrated assessment of 11 years of such data from two species (Pinus taeda and Liquidambar styraciflua) at the Duke Free Air Carbon dioxide Enrichment (Duke FACE) facility. These issues include (1) the effects of allometric relationships and xylem characteristics on the gas phase transport of water from leaves and the hydraulic supply of it, (2) consideration of the hydraulic capacitance in the inference of stomatal behavior from sap flux data and (3) the dynamic modeling of stomatal conductance to environmental drivers using Bayesian techniques. It is shown that a) for resolution of sap flux in conifers at the scale of minutes under dynamic conditions, time constants for both stomatal responses and hydraulic capacitance of sapwood must be considered, (b) nighttime conductance can lead to large errors in rates of sap flux measured under some conditions, (c) variation in allometry between P. taeda individuals can lead to different rates of transpiration and carbon assimilation per unit leaf area and that (d) hydraulic time constants for the stems of mature P. taeda at Duke FACE trees varied by the stem length considered and were on the order of 30-45 minutes for a 10-m segment. An analysis incorporating all these elements leads to the conclusions that (e) both elevated CO2 (eCO2) and fertilization (FR) resulted in proportionally larger reductions in the EL and GS of P. taeda as soil moisture decreased with (f) eCO2 having little to no effect in months of high soil moisture and (g) FR leading to ~14% reduction of GS under high soil moisture in absence of eCO2, while (h) both eCO2 and FR led to reduced EL and GS of L. styraciflua across soil moisture conditions.

A bomb unit, with the help of a robot, detonated a suspicious package found near the entrance of the West Monroe Walmart Supercenter.
The News-Star reports the detonation occurred about 10:30 p.m. Wednesday, about three hours after the package was discovered.
Police initially used a water discharge detonation to try to disable the package but weren't satisfied it had been rendered safe so they proceeded with a second detonation, using explosives.
A bomb robot had X-rayed the package, but police say the X-ray was inconclusive.
Police have not released information about what was inside the package, but they said after the detonation that it was not an explosive.
The store was reopened shortly after 11 p.m.

Whiskeytown National Recreation Area is planning to continue prescribed broadcast under-story burning activities within the East Boundary Project March 17 – 18, 2014. Between 20 - 60 acres of pine and oak woodland is planned for ignition on both days, from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm. Some residual smoke is expected 1-3 days afterward. The park plans to take advantage of the forecasted cooler conditions and northerly transport winds to meet desired project objectives that minimize control concerns and local smoke impacts.
The East Boundary Project is located along Shasta Divide Ridge that separates Whiskeytown from the community of Old Shasta, CA. The overall goals of the project are the enhancement of local community and ecosystem resilience to wildfire and facilitation of local fire agency response to wildfire. The total project area consists of 646 acres. Since initiation of the project in 2010 the park has treated 355 acres.

Parsing a comma separated CSV file where fields have commas in to
I have a (comma separated) CSV file which has fields with text. Some of the text fields have commas in, and the CSV file puts (only) these fields in inverted commas.
From a command (bash) prompt, I wish to write a bash script to (for each line) separate values $columnA, $columnB etc. so that I can 'play' with them.
If I use comma as a delimiter, it doesn't work. If I use " as a delimiter, same thing.
I'm sure I did this before, and probably did it the long way, but really cannot for the life of me think of the best way to do this.
The end outcome is simple...
For each line (using for line in bla bla bla), I wish to capture variables reflective of the full value of each 'column' (CSV field).
Is there a simple way to do this? Am I being thick?!!!
I've just got a netbook, with Linux, and want to make my life simpler using shell scripts.
Help gratefully appreciated.
Easy answer: use Perl.
For instance, have a look at this page from Perl's CPAN library: http://search.cpan.org/~adamk/Parse-...b/Parse/CSV.pm.
What you see here is a very well-thought-out solution to this general problem, which you can avail yourself of very simply.
Or... maybe you don't want to learn anything about installing Perl stuff (a reasonable conclusion... you just want to get the job done). So how about PHP? You'll see a six-line example here: http://www.homeandlearn.co.uk/php/php10p6.html
The key point that I am making here is... you've got lots of high-level languages, probably already-installed on your Linux box. You can use any of them in the shell through the magic of the #! "shebang" mechanism. You are not confined to "BASH shell-scripting," and in this case you'd be using that facility for something other than its intended purpose ... never a good idea.
So, since you do have so many choices available to you, don't :tisk: waste your own time trying to figure out how to get a job done using an inappropriate tool. "Pointless academic exercises" are best left behind you, in your good-riddance memories of bygone college days. ;)
I'd agree, bash is probably not the best tool to parse csv files. I saw this script, but it may need some help:
When I get to the point of having to use arrays in bash, I usually switch to another language. Here is a quick hacked up example of parsing csv in Java. Much cleaner and robust than the bash example above. This example uses the opencsv library for the parsing.
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
In PHP you have the explode command which handles all the parsing for you, splitting a string on the character you define and returning an array.
In C++, here is an implementation of explode:
std::vector<std::string> explode(std::string const& str, std::string const& delim)
Because of the possibility of fields containing embedded commas as you point out, this problem is elevated from the domain of that which is best done with a shell script. Specialized modules/packages for various language bindings exist, which are well crafted to do the job. I would be inclined to use Perl, and the Parse::CSV module or the Text::CSV::Simple module.
--- rod.
Firstly, thank-you all for your input.
I'm not familiar with (how to write in) Perl, and fairly poor on php, and am conscious of introducing extra complexity.
My background dates to DOS, hence the 'love' of 'bash' shell scripts to do my 'routine' stuff.
Sounds like I might have to get to learn another language in order to do something mundane!!
Surely there must be another way! (I'm sure I'll get to learn some php/perl at some point, but not sure now is the best time to begin - with 2 small daughters, time is not on my side !!)
So options:
1. PHP script (scary due to lack of knowledge, and also unknown how can make 'part php/part bash'
2. Perl script (scary for same reasons as 1.)
3. Think up a clever way with bash (and be able to re-use it elsewhere in other bash scripts)
4. Give up on scripting it, and do it manually (tedious)!
Another reason behind bash the rest of the script was in bash, and the csv bit was to capture the variables from each column for each line.
Any more thoughts/options to make my life easier ??
On a separate note.. Not sure what the requirements are for php/perl etc. and think I could spend hours and hours setting it up for something I'm unlikely to use for anything else. (the netbook eee1000 does what I need for most things, but isn't the smartest netbook, as the build with Xandros is quite restricted, and missing lots of dependencies, has a dodgy sources.list file and makes adding apps quite painful)
# awk -f awkcsv file
Cool. I shall give it a whirl.
Something said on this forum jogged my memory, and I discovered my old script. Not as clean cut as the awk example above. A few grep's and sed's and cut's to read and change each line, and it had the same effect. Think I'll have a play with awk and figure out how to make best use of it. (and perhaps save learning php/perl for another year!!)
Thanks to all of you.

Video: Texas Tech punter rips off spectacular fake punt for touchdown
Fake punts have all the makings to be either the best or the worst.
And Texas Tech punter Ryan Erxleben can stash the fake punt he executed against Texas Thursday night in the "best" category.
Check it out as Erxleben fools everyone in a Longhorns uniform by rumbling 51-yards for a touchdown in the first quarter of the game.
It would be one of the few highlights of the game for the Red Raiders, though. Texas steamrolled them 41-16 in the annual rivalry showdown.

Murder-accused Blade Runner's liking for guns
Oscar Pistorius is the athletics golden boy who likes to thank God and kept a pistol by his bed and machine gun ready at a window.
Now he is charged with murder after his girlfriend, model Reeva Steenkamp, 30, was found shot dead at his home yesterday.
Only last November, Pistorius, the double-amputee sprinter known as the "Blade Runner" and feted the world over as an inspiration for his Olympic and Paralympic efforts, tweeted about how he had gone into "full combat recon mode" after mistaking his washing machine for an intruder.
Tweets in recent months appear to paint the picture of a happy couple.
Quoting a tweet from Reeva Steenkamp on December 6, "Wondering what my stalker is up to? Kinda miss him lurking around 2nyt".
Pistorius replies: "Heard he is taking a water break with the boys!;)"
Steenkamp gushed over Pistorius on Twitter, seeming to relish going out with one of South Africa's biggest stars.
In a recent interview Steenkamp, a regular on the South African party circuit, described Pistorius as having "impeccable" taste.
"His gifts are always thoughtful," she was quoted as saying.
Some of her last Twitter postings indicated she was looking forward to celebrating Valentine's Day on Thursday with him.
"What do you have up your sleeve for your love tomorrow???" she posted.
However, police investigating the case say they were aware of previous incidents at the house of a "domestic nature", and recent media interviews with Pistorius revealed he kept an assortment of weapons in his home.
"Cricket and baseball bats lay behind the door, a pistol by his bed and a machine gun by a window," Britain's Daily Mail wrote in a profile published last year.
In November 2011, Pistorius tweeted about going to a firing range, boasting: "Had a 96% headshot over 300m from 50shots! Bam!"
He was arrested in 2009 for assault after slamming a door on a woman and spent a night in police custody. Family and friends said it was just an accident and the charges were later dropped.
With his arrest and charge, Pistorius went from podium to police cell.
At the London Olympics in August, Pistorius reached the finals of the 4x400 metre relay and semifinal in the 400m sprint, with his carbon fibre blades clattering into the history books.
But the script didn't go to plan when the Paralympics started later in the month.
The 100m and 200m titles were lost in a blaze of fury as he became embroiled in a public row with the rival he accused of unfairly using lengthened blades to win the 200m.
Only in the final event, the 400m, did Pistorius finally collect an individual gold.
While his carefully honed public image – as the poster boy for Paralympic sport – was a little tarnished by his outbursts, Pistorius has spent the time since then, on Twitter in particular, displaying the softer side that enthralled sports fans and the general public alike.
"Don't sweat the small things and chase your aspirations," he tweeted on January 29, while posting an image of a quote from Walt Disney: "All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them."
At the start of December he retweeted a series of motivational messages.
"Life consists not in holding good cards, but in playing those cards you hold well."
And from Oscar Wilde: "A gentleman is one who never hurts anyone's feelings unintentionally."
Displaying his religious side, Pistorius peppered his timeline with references to his faith, including: "God is good all the time, all the time God is good!"
As he prepared to see in 2013, Pistorius wrote: "Had a blessed day today. Grateful for the type of people I have in my life."
But his Twitter timeline more regularly featured self-portraits sunning himself or posing among the great and the good at conferences or glitzy events.
In his last personal tweet on February 11, Pistorius was looking forward to the launch of his foundation in July to help 10 disabled children.
It was a reminder of how Pistorius had overcome difficulties since having both legs amputated below the knee in the first year of his life.

Contributing writer
For more than 30 years, until his retirement in 2008, Jim Loso taught pottery and jewelry at the middle and senior high schools in Elk River. To those who knew him, he was one of those larger-than-life personalities that lingered in memory.
It wasn't because his legend had grown tall with the telling and retelling of Loso stories by generations of students. It was because when he saw a student struggling to throw a pot, to make a grade, to fit in, to stand out or to feel important, he saw someone special.
Loso died Nov. 6, 2012, at his home in St. Joseph. Seven months later, his wife Jean Loso still gets cards from people who remember this remarkable teacher, colleague, ceramic artist and mentor.
"Some kids are lost in high school," she said. "They're looking for someone to recognize something in them. Jim had the ability to be that and encourage them to the point that they could believe in themselves."
For a man who devoted himself to the teaching and making of art, he didn't begin life with that end in mind. Jim Loso's great-grandfather had established a grocery, Loso's Store, in downtown St. Joseph. That was the family business, and one Jim Loso tried his hand at when his mother retired.
But the buying and selling of bread, milk and other staples didn't excite him the way art did. In college, he had majored in studio art and had taught some in Lakeville and Sauk Centre.
So, in the fall of 1973, a 31-year-old Jim Loso made the commute down Highway 10 for his first day at Elk River's senior high. He would teach there or at VandenBerge Middle for the next 35 years.
The pieces of his life were falling into place. A young woman from South Dakota interviewed at the high school in 1976. Loso was one of the teachers she met during her tour.
"I thought, yeah, that's kind of a wild guy," said Jean Loso, who wondered at this boisterous, joke-cracking art teacher. "I had been working at an elementary school and was used to elementary school teachers."
The couple married in 1977. Jean Loso made a career at the high school, teaching special education and later English.
During summers, the Losos traveled the art fair circuit, selling Jim Loso's pottery. Jean Loso became his unofficial business manager. They were a team, and the team grew by one when their son Jay was born and joined them on the summer tour.
Not every art teacher is a professional artist. Not every artist has the ability to teach. But the two combined in Jim Loso and in his teaching partner, oil painter Harvey Schroeder, at VandenBerge during the '80s and '90s. They were a rare combination, two artists performing at a national level and establishing Elk River as a top-notch school district for the arts.
Schroeder remembered Jim Loso "with a pot in his hands. He'd be talking to a class and be carving a pot."
The two remained friends and would run into each other at art fairs and at the Christmas art show held annually at the Loso house. Many artists got their start selling there.
Jim Loso had a knack for spotting and nurturing talent.
Chad Jerzak was a 10th-grader when Jim Loso hired him to work in his pottery studio.
Once, Jerzak helped his mentor at a weekend workshop. Still a teen, he found himself teaching much older students how to work clay and throw pots.
Afterwards, the two talked.
"Loso said to me, 'You know what, Jerzak? You belong in teaching,'" said Jerzak, who since 1995 has been doing just that at VandenBerge. "I hung onto those words. I felt like I was being acknowledged. That's the power of a mentor."
Damien Husen, art instructor at Elk River High School, was another mentee and another sign of Jim Loso's strong artistic legacy in the community.
"What made him an exceptional teacher, both in and out of school, was his ability to connect with students, take a sincere interest in their development as an artist and foster a true appreciation for an art form that he loved," Husen said. "Under Loso's guidance, you knew you were a student learning from a master, but he made you feel like an artist collaborating with a fellow potter."
This year, Jean Loso along with art teachers from both schools created the Loso Legacy Scholarship to give students an opportunity to foster their talents and have those talents recognized.
"He would have been happy with that," Jean Loso said. "His happiest moments were sitting in a studio throwing pots with the music blaring and a couple workers in there doing what they needed to do. And standing in front of a classroom."

2X Secure Client Gateway and Types
The 2X Secure Client Gateway tunnels all the Parallels 2X Remote Application Server data on a single port. It also provides secure connections and is the user connection point to the Parallels 2X Remote Application Server.
By default the 2X Secure Client Gateway is installed on the same server where the Parallels 2X Remote Application Server is installed. You can add additional 2X Secure Client Gateways in a site to support more users, load balance connections and provide redundancy.
Accessing List of Gateways in a Site
How a Gateway Works
The use of the 2X Secure Client Gateway in the Parallels 2X Remote Application Server site is explained below:
- Gateway receives a user connection request.
- Gateway forwards the request to all the Publishing Agents in the farm.
- Publishing Agent performs Load Balancing checks and Active Directory security lookup to obtain security permissions.
- If the user requesting a published resource is granted, the publishing agent returns the response to the gateway service including details about which terminal server the user can connect to.
- Depending on the connection mode, the client either connects through the gateway or disconnects from the gateway and connects directly to the RDS Server.
2X Secure Client Gateway Types
Normal Mode
A gateway in normal mode will receive user connection requests and checks with the Publishing Agent if the user making the request has access or not. Normal gateways can be used to support a larger number of requests and to improve redundancy.
Forward Mode
A gateway in forwarding mode will forward all the user connection requests to a pre-configured gateway. Gateways in forward mode are useful if cascading firewalls are in use, to separate WAN connections from LAN connections and make it possible to disconnect WAN segments in the event of issues without disrupting the LAN.
Note: Multiple Gateways are needed to configure a gateway in Forward mode.

Ciara 'Sweat': 2 Chainz Joins Singer on Hot, Sticky Summer Jam
This summer, Ciara's man ain't getting off easy. June 19 sees the release of "Sweat," the lead single from her forthcoming fifth album, One Woman Army, and on the hot and sticky track (listen after the jump), the R&B singer aims to educate and incinerate.
"Let me in your head, watch you learn some," she sings at the chorus. "Tryin' to see you sweat, watch you burn some."
The song also welcomes a guest verse from red-hot rapper 2 Chainz.
While "Sweat" finds Ciara getting dirty and gritty, refusing to take a cold shower, Chainz kicks it with surprising politeness.
"After sex, they ask me how I'm doing," he raps. "I tell them, 'Very blessed.'"
As for whether Ciara will be blessed with a scorcher of a summer single, time will tell.
One Woman Army is set to feature bass-heavy production from Tricky Stewart and The Underdogs' Harvey Mason, Jr., and Damon Thomas.
Listen to Ciara's "Sweat" Feat. 2 Chainz

I had this stereo a while back, I can't remember exactly when but I do know that when I had it it was not a bad little stereo indeed. In fact, I still have the speakers as they still work perfectly well.
It stands just short of 250mm high and no more than 160mm wide and 250 deep, with each speaker giving out 5 watts, (10 watts in total).
The controls on the front are simple to understand and even simpler to work. There's no fussiness about this one, you've got the play, pause, forward, back and eject on the tape function, which is on the lower front. Then you've got the CD controls which are the same as any other controls, next, previous, play, pause etc etc. so if you've ever owned a tape deck of a CD player then you know what you're doing with this one.
The volume buttons stands proud on the front centre of the control unit, above the tape deck and in the centre of the CD controls.
Above the volume know there's a simple green back display that tells you basic info, such as track number and how long the track on the CD has played for.
On the top is the CD tray, or more a door that flips upwards so you can insert the disc without any trouble.
The speakers are great, and I mean great. They have lasted longer than the actual system as I have them wired up to another system so that it's more a surround sound system. It works well.
It also has a simple FM/AM radio but lacks in the DAB world or radio. And, for all those that don't like to move too far from the settee, this comes with a remote control which is as easy to use as any other, offering everything that any remote offers.
This mini system sold for about £30 when I first bought it, which was good money for what it was then. It doesn't offer anything of the likes of more modern systems, there's no hook up to your ipod or wireless speakers. It's just a basic mini system that offers music from your CD and cassette tape.

Hello all, I'm working on a pg database that should be able to run commands on certain conditions. E.g. whenever a date is stored in column X of table Y, an email should be sent to user Z.

Rays shorthanded at short: Zobrist has death in family, Escobar out
The Rays will be shorthanded - especially at shortstop - today and Monday.
Ben Zobrist left the team today to join his family following the Friday death of his grandmother, and Yunel Escobar remains sidelined with a bruised left hand.
The Rays could have put Zobrist on the bereavement list and called up a replacement, but that requires a three-day minimum absence and Zobrist is expected to rejoin the team on Tuesday. in short, the Rays decided it was better to be shorthanded for two days than have a replacement (likely Tim Beckham) in exchange for having Zobrist back on Tuesday.
Escobar was sore and had trouble sleeping on Saturday night after being hit by a pitch, but the Rays say the x-rays showed no break and they expect him to miss three days, thus on target to return Wednesday.
Sean Rodriguez will play SS today and Monday, and Maddon said if Rodriguez were hurt or taken out of a game for strategic purposes they would probably first consider Evan Longoria at SS, then Ryan Roberts and Kelly Johnson.
The Rays also will be limited in their in-game moves as they have only Sam Fuld, Luke Scott and Jose Molina on the bench. Maddon said he would consider using pitchers as pinch-hitters or pinch runners but was leery. Plus they are shorthanded there too as Jeremy Hellickson flew home to prep for Monday's start.

Windblown Winslet
Even gorgeous Kate Winslet can have bad hair days. The actress was spotted in all black looking a bit windblown in London the other day. The laid-back mother of two may not always look glamorous but she's still one of our favorite actresses. Can you believe Kate doesn't have an Oscar? Maybe reuniting with Leo in Revolutionary Road will change all that.

WASHINGTON — Having conceded eight goals in two games, questions about the D.C. United back line were once again surfacing ahead last week's home stand. Defensive lapses that had been viral during 2010's struggles were cropping up again in heavy losses.
Potentially making matters worse, Jed Zayner and Marc Burch, the expected starters at the outside back spots, were sidelined with hamstring injuries. In search of options ahead of last Wednesday's clash against Seattle Sounders FC, coach Ben Olsen turned to rookie Perry Kitchen and reserve Daniel Woolard to help lift the defense.
Over the next two games, the once ravaged back line responded with two strong defensive performances, conceding one goal in two games last week. The stingy play of Kitchen and Woolard will certainly give Olsen a selection headache ahead of this weekend's game against Colorado.
"I think both of them have done really well," central defender Dejan Jakovic said. "Woolard's done a great job kind of keeping the ball and knowing when to go forward. I think Perry Kitchen has been great. I don't know if he's played [right back] before; he looks comfortable, like he's been playing it for years."
The buzz about Kitchen before and after the 2011 MLS SuperDraft included where the prospect would play in MLS — either as a central midfielder (as he did at Akron) or in the middle of defense (as he did for the US U-17s and U-20s).
Playing at right back never seemed like a likely option, and prior to last Wednesday, all of his starts had come as a center back.
That being said, right back is not a completely unknown spot to Kitchen, who last played there at the US U-17 Residency program in Florida. The rookie was happy with his performance, but knows that there is room for improvement.
"I've played it before, it just takes a little to get back into it, and I haven't played it as a professional," he said. "As far as improving, I definitely say getting forward, getting in the right spots because I hadn't played it in awhile."
Woolard, who prior to this year last played for the Carolina RailHawks in the USSF D-2, said the success was about adopting the right mentality.
"We came out knowing we had to play more stingy defense and that's what we've done in the last two [games]," he said. We've played defensively well as a team. We've battled for each other, covered for each other with the mistakes we've had."
According to DC assistant coach Chad Ashton, the Kitchen and Woolard did everything asked of them in last week's games, but now would want to see a bit more going forward.
"We said we wanted to be better defensively and not give up goals, and you can see what those two brought to the game," he said. "If we can add a little more attack to it with those guys, we'll start to get there on both sides of the ball."

40 cities to participate in 'Day of Rage' protests
FERGUSON, Mo. (NEWSCHANNEL 3) - Protesters in 40 cities are set to gather for a National Day of Rage, hoping to spark change after Michael Brown's shooting death in Ferguson, Missouri.
The rallies were organized by a group called Anonymous, which is demanding the arrest of the officer who shot the unarmed teen on August 9.
But it's expected to take a grand jury until mid-October to decide whether or not to charge Officer Darren Wilson.
The shooting has led to violent protests for weeks, but Thursday, Missouri Governor Jay Nixon ordered the National Guard to leave Ferguson.
Since Brown's death, nearly 200 people have been arrested in the city's protesting area.

Soccer, like many sports, relies heavily on timing. If a forward waits a second too long, he may watch his shot miss the target. If a goalkeeper reacts a second too fast, he'll be looking over his shoulder as the ball sails into the netting.
But when the timing's right, a goal is scored, a shot is saved or, in the case of Luis Robles, a move is made.
Robles signed with the Red Bulls Wednesday, Aug. 8, and practiced with the team for the first time Tuesday morning at Montclair State University. While speaking with the media after his session, the Arizona native admitted there were previous talks between the sides, back as far as January, but suggested the timing wasn't right.
Other teams became involved in the talks as well over the last month or so. Some of those clubs hailed from the Western Conference, which in turn led Robles to assume his pending destination would be somewhere on the west coast. But when New York made the call and asked him to hike it out east, Robles was happy to oblige. Even if it meant leaving his personal belongings somewhere around the California area.
"I think it's in Sacramento," he said with a smile Tuesday morning. "I think the container ended up in Sacramento. So how we figure this out is the next challenge."
Another obvious challenge that awaits Robles is more or less the one any goalkeeper would expect when joining ranks with a new club carrying three 'keepers – playing time. It's an element of the transaction that Robles quickly embraced, as he knows a little competition can go a long way for him, his teammates and the club.
"We've got a good brotherhood going on already," Robles said. "Competition's always good. It doesn't matter what position, whether it's goalkeeper or up top, when there's someone who is at a good level competing every day against you, it's only going to bring the sharpness and the best out of you. So I look forward to not only helping the team, but helping the guys that are alongside with me."
As of Tuesday, the Red Bulls maintain their lock on second place in the Eastern Conference, just two points behind Sporting Kansas City's total of 43. With the postseason drawing closer and the race in the conference heating up, Robles is anxious to do whatever it takes to help his new club.
"I think regardless of where New York was in the standings, I think it's a great organization," he said. "As a player, you want to be part of something like that. And then you just do the best you can to help contribute and make that experience the best it can be."
From the start of the season New York has stressed the importance of winning on the pitch at Red Bull Arena and has, in turn, posted an undefeated 8-0-3 record. Portland will look to test that streak when they come to town Sunday for a 7 PM kick off (MSG+/Galavision). Get your tickets now at Red Bulls Ticket Central or by calling 877.RB.SOCCER.

ALBUQUERQUE -- Ferrel Heady, who was president of the University of New Mexico during the tumultuous era of Vietnam War protests, died Aug. 17. He was 90.
Dr. Heady was president of the state's largest university from 1968 to 1975, a period marked by student demonstrations against the war.
One of the protests turned bloody on May 8, 1970, when New Mexico National Guardsmen marched onto campus, and 10 people were bayoneted.
The Guard's intervention ended four days of protests on campus in the wake of the shootings of four people at Kent State University in Ohio.
About 150 students had marched to Dr. Heady's home late on May 4 to present Dr. Heady with a list of demands that included removing the ROTC from campus and providing more scholarships for American Indian students.

Allegedly professionals at the Phoenix Veterans Administration Hospital knowingly and wilfully delayed, misled, and maltreated our nation's veterans, and that infuriates me and it should infuriate every American.
After first learning of the scandal at the Phoenix VA Hospital I have advocated for an earnest pursuit of truth so those responsible will be held to account for their malfeasance.
This situation illuminates an important truth: our government can't even take care of the 6.5 million veterans who fought to defend the very existence of this nation.
Then how can we expect our government to deliver quality health care to over 330 million Americans? Evidence and experience clearly suggest this is an impossibility.
Today's VA Health System is tomorrow's Obamacare.
The VA Health System is pure government-run single-payer health care, and it's an utter disaster. This system shows us that government-run health care is not compassionate or humane, it's barbaric and corrupt.

Blues boss not interested in reunion with Brazilian…
The 28-year-old has been linked with a move away from the Bernabeu this summer following the arrival of Jose Mourinho, who is reportedly lining up Werder Bremen's Mesut Oezil as his replacement.
Kaka was understood to be a transfer target for Chelsea two years ago when Luiz Felipe Scolari was the manager at Stamford Bridge, but a move failed to materialise.
Then Manchester City came close to luring Kaka to the Premier League before the Brazilian moved to Madrid last summer.
Ancelotti managed Kaka at Milan for six years between 2003 and 2009, but has confirmed he will not be trying to sign him again this summer.
"Kaka cannot come to Chelsea," he told Sky Italia.
"He was one player of mine and has done so much for Milan, but now he belongs to Real Madrid and he will decide about his future along with his current club.
"Certainly neither I nor Chelsea will do it [decide his future]."

Judge sentences escapee to 15 years in prison
November 24, 2010
A man who walked away from a Moffat County Jail work detail in the summer was sentenced Monday in Moffat County District Court for escape and burglary.
Brian Nuebel pleaded guilty Monday before Judge Shelley Hill to second-degree burglary of a building, a Class 4 felony, and escape, a Class 3 felony.
As part of a plea agreement reached with the 14th Judicial District Attorney's Office, prosecutors dismissed an escape from parole charge, a Class 5 felony.
Hill sentenced Nuebel, 40, originally from Iowa, to 15 years in prison for the escape conviction and 12 years in prison for the burglary conviction.
The sentences will run concurrently.
The escape and burglary charges stem from a June incident in which Nuebel walked away from the Moffat County Public Safety Center. He was outside the safety center working unsupervised with two other inmates. The inmates reported Nuebel's escape to authorities.

After his escape, Nuebel broke into the Moffat County Landfill, and later stole a vehicle in Hayden, according to court records.
Also part of the plea agreement reached with prosecutors was that Nuebel plead guilty to a pending burglary charge in Routt County, a charge stemming from the vehicle theft in Hayden.
He is scheduled to enter his plea today in Routt County and be sentenced to 15 years in prison for that offense, which will also run concurrently.
Days after his June escape, Nuebel was found in Grand Junction. He allegedly broke into a church, where deputies from the Mesa County Sheriff's Department found him and took him into custody.
He faces criminal charges in Mesa County.
He also has criminal cases pending in Jefferson and Garfield counties.

Royal Navy 'tried to declare missing sailor Timmy MacColl dead'
The Royal Navy has tried to declare a missing British sailor dead without speaking to his family in person first, an MP has claimed.
Leading Seaman Timmy MacColl from Gosport disappeared in May 2012, during a visit to Dubai by HMS Westminster.
Caroline Dinenage, Tory MP for Gosport, said the 28-year-old's wife Rachael and their three children now faced an uncertain future.
The Royal Navy said she was being kept informed of all developments.
Leading Seaman MacColl, originally from Killin in Stirlingshire, was last seen at 02:00 local time on 27 May 2012.
'Emotional strain'
In a question to Justice Minister Helen Grant in the Commons, Ms Dinenage said: "The Royal Navy are now seeking to get a certificate of death without any face-to-face consultation with his wife.
"On top of the emotional strain of this, it also casts a question mark over their financial future and indeed where they will live.
"Can you tell me to what extent the justice department can liaise with the armed forces in cases such as this and to ensure that the family are much better involved in such decisions?"
In response Ms Grant said: "The Ministry of Defence has its own procedures for presumed missing service personnel to be [declared] dead and it does not liaise with the Ministry of Justice in individual cases."
She added she was happy to speak to Defence Secretary Philip Hammond about the case on behalf of Ms Dinenage.
'Simply unacceptable'
A Royal Navy spokesperson said: "There is regular contact between the Royal Navy, and its representatives, and Mrs MacColl. She is being kept informed of all developments.
"We have provided Mrs MacColl with written assurance over her husband's status, for pay purposes, and assurance of her eligibility to remain in their married quarter."
The Royal Navy said its responsibility was to Mrs MacColl as the next of kin and added it would continue to support her.
Speaking outside the chamber, Ms Dinenage said it was "simply unacceptable" to exclude the family from decisions about requesting a certificate of death.
"I think Rachael and the family feel now that it is unlikely that Timmy is going to be found safe and well, and they have kind of prepared themselves [for] when the news comes it will not be good news," she said.
She added it was very important the family were engaged with in a decision like this.
Rachael MacColl's grandfather, Jim Cunningham, said: "I find it highly unethical that the Royal Navy did not have the decency to consult with Rachel on the matter and invite her to participate.
"She is unaware of the advantages and disadvantages of the Royal Navy applying for a presumption of death."

Disclosure: This post was written as part of Progressive's Apron Project, helping tell the story of people and their initiatives making progress towards a greater good. I have been compensated as a contributor to this project, but the thoughts and opinions in this post are my own.
Not quite car, and not quite motorcycle, the C-1 from Lit Motors is a two-wheeled one-seater with gyro stability that seeks to challenge the way we get around in the not-too-distant future.
I'd say I've got a few gearheads in my crowd — and at least a handful (or two) of auto enthusiasts. So when I had the chance to talk to Ryan James of Lit Motors about how his company is striving to bring two-wheel transportation to the mainstream as a more efficient — and safer — alternative to the motorcycles and cars of today, I jumped at the chance. Here, he was kind enough to answer some of my questions about the future of transportation — and the part he envisions Lit Motors will play.
Q: How do you feel technology is changing our lives for the better?
A: Technology is allowing us to communicate and create as never before. The ability to collaborate with others around the world in real time is incredible, and the creative power of digital design and engineering is insane. Design and engineering work that would have taken weeks or months a few decades ago can be accomplished in hours or minutes now. That's very empowering! We've been able to develop multiple full-scale prototypes of a vehicle and amass a community of followers in the tens of thousands, all with $3M and a team of 25. That wasn't possible even 10 years ago. And it's very democratizing, allowing inventors and innovators to pursue much more complex ideas cheaply and efficiently.
Q: Where do you believe tech will take our culture in the future?
A: Tech will continue to free us from the confines of the past. Easier communication, more available knowledge, and freer travel. 40 years ago, a car and a driver's license were freedom. Now a car is a liability. One of our goals with our vehicle is to bring that sense of freedom back by creating a vehicle that can easily slip through traffic and park virtually anywhere — and all while staying connected, of course!
Q: When you were a kid, did you ever envision yourself doing (or being involved with) something like this?
A: Our founder, Danny, grew up building things. [Playing with] LEGO [bricks] led to building up his own bikes and working as a Land Rover mechanic, which led to building his own bike frames and his own truck, and eventually building his own vehicle platform, with the first C-1 concept. He never would have guessed as a child that he would start his own company surrounding a vehicle of his creation, but as the son of an inventor and an astute businesswoman, it makes sense.
Q: If someone were wont to pursue a career in your field, what would you recommend they spend their time learning and/or mastering?
A: Everything! Doing a lot with little means being very self-sufficient, and a jack- or jill-of-all-trades. Putting together a team of complementary T-shaped people can be very effective.
Q: Can you share a favorite / inspirational customer story around your product?
A: We've heard from so many people that we've created the vehicle of their dreams, or finally brought Tron or Akira to real life. We never get tired of hearing that! We also grew up with those movies — this is the vehicle of our dreams as well!
Slated to begin rolling out toward the end of 2014, you can learn more about Lit Motors here and even reserve your place in line to own what promises to be a game-changing piece of transportation history. Thanks to Ryan James for taking time to talk to me about this fascinating next-generation tech!

Well, not actual immortality, but certainly a recent article for Popular Science UK on the subject.
Kate's also contributed to titles such as The Inquirer, Government IT magazine, Health Director, Marketing Week, Wireless Magazine and V3.co.uk. We find out what goes into her work on tech, science, comms and health, as well as what this journalist would like for Christmas.
About your journalism
What do you write about?
Mainly b2b and consumer technology, including mobile and cyber security, but I've also ventured into science and broadcast.
Where are we likely to see your work?
I have only been fully freelance for three months; most recently you'll find my work in Wireless Magazine and Popular Science UK.
What's the most memorable work you've done?
During my time as deputy editor at Mobile Magazine I broke the story of the O2 and Vodafone network share deal, which was pretty significant in the industry.
More recently, the feature I wrote for Popular Science UK about the possibility humans might one day be immortal, or be able to extend their lives, was incredibly interesting to research.
What interview or feature would you love the chance to do?
On the science side it would be Richard Dawkins, and on the tech side Jonathan Ive, Warren East, or Jeff Bezos. I'm a bit of a music geek so even though it's a bit out of my remit, I'd also like to interview Jack White from the White Stripes. Is that allowed? [Hmm. Yes, I think we can allow this – The Interviewer]
About you and PRs
Where do you source ideas for articles?
By reading all the magazines that fit my remit, as well as a daily trawl of all news websites and social networks such as Twitter.
Do you find that your idea of what makes a story and a PR's tends to differ? How?
A PR's idea of a story will often be dictated by the clients' needs rather than those of the journalist. Sometimes the PR hasn't bothered to personalise their pitch. If offering interviews, it really has to be a big name to interest me.
Of all the press releases you receive on a daily basis, what percentage of them do you get inspiration from?
Maybe about 30%. Anything I get about government reports, announcements from regulators such as Ofcom, or big career moves in the tech sector.
Do you find press conferences, trips, parties and other events useful or an interruption?
It totally depends on the outcome. If I am not going to get anything to write about out of it it's not much use to me. Events are great for networking, and press conferences can be useful if done well.
About you
Do you find Twitter useful for your work?
I usually use Twitter for a break from my work! But yes, it's great to keep up on breaking news as well as to chat to other journos and people interested in the same industries.
Also, we noticed there are lots of cute dog pictures on your twitter – who is this lovely dog?
He is my lovely jackapoo (my husband insists we call him a 'jack-russell-poodle-cross') puppy called Dennis. He is both an insane little terror and a joy. He keeps me company while I work from my home office.
What books are on your bedside table, magazines in your bag, or blogs on your screen?
I am a massive fan of Ian McEwan, and I've also recently got into Haruki Murakami and Gary Shteyngart. My husband has also bought me 'The Man Who Knew Too Much' by David Leavitt, which I'm really looking forward to reading. On the magazines side, I love New Scientist and Grazia. The two sides of the intellectual coin.
What piece of tech could you not do without? Are there any upcoming tech releases you're especially excited about (and would queue up overnight for)?
I don't think I would queue overnight for anything, but I do have a love-hate relationship with my iPhone 4S. The iPhone 5 doesn't appeal to me, but I'm looking forward to when Apple phones take on an entirely new form factor, if that ever happens.
Apple or Microsoft?
Hardware or software? Both produce software that makes me angry. If I had to choose between them as companies, I guess it would be Apple, for the brand. And Apple doesn't make me quite as angry as Microsoft.
What are you hoping to get for Christmas this year?
An iPad Mini?! I think I would be lucky though. I'd quite like a Nexus 7 too. And a Kindle Paperwhite. My Christmas hopes are looking quite tablet-themed.
