Saadiyat Island, just offshore the emirate, will become a new world-class cultural destination.
Four renowned architects have been commissioned by Abu Dhabi's Tourism Development & Investment Company (TDIC) for iconic museums and a performing arts centre which will position the UAE capital's Saadiyat Island, that lies just offshore the emirate, as a world-class cultural destination.
Tadao Ando is designing the Maritime Museum, Frank Gehry the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi, Zaha Hadid the Saadiyat's Performing Arts Centre, and Jean Nouvel is designing the Classical Museum.
Ando's Maritime Museum concept takes its inspiration from Abu Dhabi's natural surroundings, landscape and maritime traditions. It has a reflective surface visually merging sea and land. Its ship-like interior has floating decks which guide visitors through the exhibition space.
"Dhows, Arab sailing vessels with triangular or lateen sails, float over the voids of the interior space and help create an intense visual experience by relating objects to one another and to the museum architecture as a whole. Below ground, there is a second space – a reception hall with an enormous aquarium. A traditional dhow floats over the aquarium and is seen from different perspectives."
Tadao AndoIn order to emphasise the simple, but powerful, shape of the building, the surrounding landscape is organised in grid form. Rows of trees line the forecourt of the site, creating an oasis-like border that allows visitors to transition gradually between the dynamic city and the more serene and contemplative space of the museum. Gehry's concept for the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi Museum, which at 320,000 square feet will be the world's largest Guggenheim museum, is designed around accommodating approximately 130,000 square feet of exhibition space.
It will feature permanent collections, galleries for special exhibitions, a centre for art and technology, a children's art education facility, archives, library and research centre and a state-of-the-art conservation laboratory.
"It was clear from the beginning that this had to be a new invention. The landscape, the opportunity, the requirement, to build something that people all over the world would come to and the possible resource to accomplish it opened tracks that were not likely to be considered anywhere else. The site itself, virtually on the water or close to the water on all sides, in a desert landscape with the beautiful sea and the light quality of the place suggested some of the direction."
Frank Gehry
Four storeys of central core galleries are laid out around a courtyard, with two more rings of galleries spanning out from the core. The third ring is for larger galleries, built more like raw industrial space with exposed lighting and systems. These galleries will be homes for a new scale of contemporary art - art that would be, perhaps, made on site and of a scale that could not be achieved in the normally organised museums around the world. In Hadid's Performing Arts Centre concept, a 62 metre high building is proposed housing five theatres – a music hall, concert hall, opera house, drama theatre and a flexible theatre with a combined seating capacity for 6,300. The Centre may also house an Academy of Performing Arts.
"As it winds through the site, the architecture increases in complexity, building up height and depth and achieving multiple summits in the bodies housing the performance spaces, which spring from the structure like fruits on a vine and face westward, toward the water."
Zaha Hadid
The building becomes part of an inclining ensemble of structures that stretch from the Maritime Museum at its southern end to the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi at the northern tip. With its centre of mass at the water's edge, the Performing Arts Centre focuses its volume along the central axis of the site. This arrangement interrupts the block matrix at the Arterial Road, opening views to the sea and the skyline of Abu Dhabi.The concert hall is above the lower four theatres, allowing daylight into its interior and dramatic views of the sea and city skyline from the huge window behind the stage. Local lobbies for each theatre are orientated towards the sea to give each visitor a constant visual contact with their surroundings. Nouvel's design concept for the Classical Museum owes much to Saadiyat's natural surroundings.
"The island offers a harsh landscape, tempered by its meeting with the channel, a striking image of the aridity of the earth versus the fluidity of the waters. These fired the imagination towards unknown cities buried deep into the sands or sunk under water. These dreamy thoughts have merged into a simple plan of an archaeological field revived as a small city, a cluster of nearly one-row buildings along a leisurely promenade."
Jean Nouvel The building is covered with a large dome, a form common to all civilisations. This one is made of a web of different patterns interlaced into a translucent ceiling which lets a diffuse, magical light come through in the best tradition of great Arabian architecture. Water is given a crucial role, both in reflecting every part of the building and acting as a psyche, and in creating, with a little help from the wind, a comfortable micro-climate that will give visitors a feeling of entering a different world.
The museums on Saadiyat Island's Cultural District are scheduled to open under a phased programme starting in 2012.
Spread over 87,340 square kilometres, Abu Dhabi is the largest of the seven emirates which make up the United Arab Emirates and accounts for more than 85% of the country's total land mass. The UAE is one of the six members of the Arabian Gulf Co-operation Council.
Saadiyat Island - which translates from Arabic as Island of Happiness - is the largest single mixed-use development in the Arabian Gulf. The 27 square kilometre natural island - half the size of Bermuda - lies only 500 metres offshore Abu Dhabi island - the capital city of the United Arab Emirates. Saadiyat Island is being developed into a complete visitor and residential destination.
Saadiyat Island will be linked to the main Abu Dhabi island and the Abu Dhabi mainland via two, 10-lane freeways making the destination easily accessible to Abu Dhabi International Airport, which will be just a 25 kilometre drive away.
Saadiyat Island's Cultural District will also feature a Biennale Park and 19 international pavilions which will be criss-crossed by a 1.5 kilometre long navigable canal. The 19 pavilions, which will host a range of art and cultural events and activities, will be designed by some of today's leading architects. These include UAE's Khalid Alnajjar Russia's Yuri Avvakumov, USA's Greg Lynn, New York's Hani Rashid, UK's David Adjaye, China's Pei-Zhu, and Korea's Seung H-Sang.
The USA-headquartered urban design, engineering and interiors firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP (SOM) has created the final master plan for the Cultural District.
The long-term plans also include the development of a creative campus of graduate schools in the fine arts within Saadiyat Island's Cultural District. These will be devoted to art, architecture, music and drama. Special attention will also be given to developing educational outreach programmes for the youth of the entire Gulf region.

While most Americans will camp out in front of their televisions with seven-layer dip watching the Super Bowl this afternoon, a relative handful of teen girls is likely to head to the multiplex instead.
Young female moviegoers pushed "Warm Bodies" into the end zone at the box office this weekend, when ticket sales are traditionally sluggish due to the massively popular Sunday football event. The romantic comedy, about a girl who falls in love with a zombie, debuted with a healthy $20 million, according to the distributor Summit Entertainment.
The only other film that landed in theaters nationwide this weekend, "Bullet to the Head," took a hit. The action movie starring Sylvester Stallone was aimed at older men, but they didn't show up in big numbers as the picture started off with a dismal $4.5 million.
In past years, the most successful films on Super Bowl weekend have often appealed to teen girls. The movie that grossed the most on the football weekend was Miley Cyrus' "Hannah Montana" 3-D concert flick, which took in $31.1 million in 2008. "Warm Bodies" collected the seventh-highest gross for a Super Bowl weekend, not adjusting for inflation; ticket sales for the weekend overall were down 24%.
Lionsgate's Summit Entertainment label has a winner in the well-reviewed zombie flick, which stars new young Hollywood faces Nicholas Hoult and Teresa Palmer. The studio spent a modest $30 million to produce the movie, and it could benefit from good word of mouth in the coming weeks. Those who saw the movie this weekend -- 65% of whom were under 25, and 60% of whom were female -- assigned the picture an average grade of B+, according to market research firm CinemaScore.
The movie's opening could also be good news for 23-year-old Hoult, who is headlining Warner Bros.' $150-million-plus "Jack in Giant Slayer" next month. Though the actor found success as a child star in 2002's "About a Boy," this is his first big-screen leading role since then.
"Bullet to the Head" is a disappointment for the 66-year-old Stallone, who had staged somewhat of a comeback with the success of his "The Expendables" franchise. "Bullet," in which the 66-year-old actor plays a hit-man seeking revenge on a murderer, appealed to its intended audience: 60% of the crowd was male, and a whopping 81% were over 25. But the older men who saw the movie didn't seem to love it, giving it an average grade of B-.
Dan Fellman, Warner Bros.' president of domestic distribution, said the studio opted to release the film this weekend in the hope that it might replicate the success of a movie like "Taken," another picture aimed at older men that launched with a surprisingly robust $24.7 million on Super Bowl weekend in 2009.
"It didn't work," Fellman acknowledged. "I think the movie is a better movie than the result. I feel badly for the filmmakers."
The good news for distributor Warner Bros. is that the studio is only releasing the film, which was financed by India's Reliance Entertainment. However, the poor box office marks a lackluster end to a 25-year-long partnership between Warner Bros. and Joel Silver's Dark Castle Entertainment, which produced the film. The studio ended its relationship with Silver at the end of 2012, though it has yet to release one final Dark Castle film, Ethan Hawke's "Getaway."
Lionsgate opted for a limited release of another film for adult males, "Stand Up Guys," which opened in 659 theaters. The movie, starring Al Pacino, Christopher Walken and Alan Arkin as con men, has not received good reviews and did not do well in theaters this weekend. Playing in the country's top 75 markets, it grossed $1.5 million for a weak per-theater average of $2,276.

No matter the playing surface, no matter the sport, West Texas A&M University athletics found a way to be one of the best.
Whether it was on the gridiron, soccer pitch, volleyball court or cross country course, the Buffs and Lady Buffs were some of the best.
WT had Lone Star Conference champions in all four sports and had deep playoff runs in the NCAA Division II tournaments by the football and volleyball squads.
"We have promised our donors, alumni and parents that we will win championships with students who will graduate from WT," said Michael McBroom, director of athletics for the university. "I congratulate each and every one of the Buffs and Lady Buffs on a job well done this fall, as well as the administrators and university faculty who have been so supportive of their efforts to excel in the classroom."
In the final months of 2012, the West Texas A&M football team captured the attention and imagination of fans across the Texas Panhandle and beyond with an amazing run of success, highlighted by the Buffaloes' historic journey to the Division II national semifinals.
WT has enjoyed consistent success since Don Carthel took the helm of the program in 2005. Since then, WT football has qualified for postseason play every year - either by making it into the tournament playoff or earning a spot in a bowl game.
This year's team showed a special season could be in the works with a 36-0 shutout of Abilene Christian in an Oct. 16 homecoming game. Most observers figured WT would win, but few expected the Buffaloes to dominate one of D-II football's top offenses.
Despite a heartbreaking 52-48 loss to Midwestern State on Nov. 3, WT earned a share of the Lone Star Conference title and qualified for the playoffs.
The Buffs then defeated three highly regarded opponents on the road to reach the semifinals.
After a 38-30 victory at Chadron State (Neb.), WT made school history with a 33-28 defeat of fourth-ranked Ashland (Ohio).
That triumph qualified the Buffaloes for the national quarterfinals for the first time in school history. WT hit the road again and came home with a 43-13 victory over top-ranked Colorado State-Pueblo.
"That was one of the better games played by any team I've ever coached," Carthel said. "They were dominant."
The storybook season came to an end the following week, when second-ranked Winston-Salem State (N.C.) handed WT a 41-18 loss. But the disappointment felt after that game was tempered with pride from the most successful gridiron campaign seen by WT fans.
"It was a special year," Carthel said. "It was the kind of year that doesn't come along but once or twice in a coach's career."
Fans will remember a number of outstanding individual performances that contributed to the team's overall success.
Running back Khiry Robinson, who broke Mercury Morris' single-season rushing record at WT, was arguably the most exciting player on the field for the Buffaloes. Robinson's tackle-breaking skills and breakaway speed created big plays throughout the year.
Quarterback Dustin Vaughan established himself as one of the country's best signal-callers, thanks in part to help from a highly talented corps of receivers, including Torrance Allen, Nate Slaughter, Jarrain Rhone, Trevor Hammargren and Lance Ratliff.
The WT offensive line, led by Manese Foketi, Casey O'Conner and academic standout Aaron Mullane played an invaluable role in the team's success.
On defense, lineman Ethan Westbrooks led the nation in sacks, while Tyrell Higgins, Aaron Wampler, David Christmas, Bryan Johnson and Kyle Voss also caused plenty of damage to opponents' passing games. Taylor McCuller, Curtis Slater, Jordan Smith and Torian Oakley provided reliable work in the defensive backfield.
Special teams got into the act, too, with kicker Sergio Castillo Jr., and punter Kevin VanVoris making game-changing plays of their own.
"It was one of my favorite years," Carthel said. "This season created a lot of incentive, a lot of motivation for the future for the Buffaloes."
Carthel became the winningest coach in school history during the season, with a cumulative record of 79-22.
The West Texas A&M volleyball team had its best season since 2009 under head coach Jason Skoch, finishing 33-5 and ranked fifth in the nation.
The Lady Buffs continued to be one of the top teams in the Lone Star Conference, winning their seventh straight and 18th overall Lone Star Conference title. The Lady Buffs finished second to Angelo State in the LSC regular season but went on to win the LSC tournament.
The Lady Buffs weren't done, as the senior-laden team won its 12th regional championship and participated in its 23rd NCAA Tournament. WT made the Elite Eight for the first time since 2009 and for the 12th time in school history.
"It was a very emotionally taxing season," Skoch said. "Most wounds were self-inflicted. I am very happy and proud of the players that made a decision to be accountable, stick it out and make changes. There was a great team effort, and they deserve all the success they got for it."
Several WT players were honored individually as well. Senior libero Lauren Beville became the team's career leader in digs and was named a third-team American Volleyball Coaches Association Division II All-American. Senior middle blocker Erin Dougherty was named to the second team and senior setter Lacy Hayes was named to the first team.
Women's Soccer
The Lady Buffs went 13-7-1 on the year and won their sixth Lone Star Conference Championship. Led by senior Leslie Briggs, who was named to the National Soccer Coaches Association of America All-American second team, WT earned its first trip to the NCAA Tournament since 2009.
Cross Country
The Lady Buffs won their first Lone Star Conference Championship and also qualified for nationals for the first time in school history.
Junior Brenda Sindet was named the Lone Star Conference Cross Country Runner of the Year after a solid season.
Sindet claimed individual medalist honors to lead WT to the LSC title. She placed seventh at the South Central Regional Championships and capped it off by becoming an All-American by placing 23rd with a time of 21:07 for a WT record at the NCAA Division II National Championships.

With less than two weeks to go before pitchers and catchers report to camp, I couldn't be more excited. I have always loved the regular season, lose my mind when my team makes it to the playoffs and while its more fun to have your team in the Series..its still the World Series so really, what's not to be at least a little excited about. Come that time of year all kinds of great baseball stories have taken place and its always an exciting spectacle to end the season. Of course, the Cubs ending their run without a title with a championship would be the ideal but you know what I mean. The postseason is the postseason and the World Series is deserving of the title 'The Fall Classic'. And really even postseasons that haven't included the Cubs lately have been pretty exciting and I think if you're a big enough baseball fan, that's the way it is whether your team is in it or not. However, lately I've been more and more excited about the offseason and I'm not sure why.
Maybe its because of the caliber of players that have been available…maybe its because of the offseason signings the Cubs have made (or not made), the speculation of what they will or won't do, talking/debating with friends what moves should and shouldn't be made and the excitement that comes with new players, promises, predictions and possibilites (and to keep with the 'p' theme, especially lately with a guy named Piniella having a large effect on all of those things).
Like every die-hard fan you feel a part of the drama in who will be sent down and who will be invited to 'the show'. How will the starting rotation playout and which guys will take on which roles in the bullpen? What moves are yet to be made and does a great record in Spring Training mean anything at all? What about a horrible record in Spring Training? What else can I come up with what could be a never ending list of What if's…you get my point.
I'm excited. I'm excited the offseason is drawing to a close. I'm excited pitchers and catchers are reporting. I'm excited about the games I'll get to see on TV and logging on to this site to watch the other games on-line. I'm excited about following the scoreboards, the standings and reading the rumor central reports throughout the season. I'm excited to hate a guy one game and love him the next and vice versa because after all no matter what, he's still our guy and if Lou has him in there, well, then Fukudome, that's who I'm rooting for today!
Super Bowl Sunday on its way…couldn't care less about the Pro Bowl…NBA doesn't get real good until June…I CAN'T WAIT FOR BASEBALL. Even for the upcoming games that mean very little once the calendar hits October (very little=nothing). I don't care. Bring on Spring Training. ASAP. And if any of our guys happen to show up early and play a game of wiffleball or MLB 2K8, I'd love an update on how that turned out as well.
Less than two weeks and counting.
At this point, sometimes literally. Go Cubs!

An autograph-seeker approached John Mackey, the 10thformer Baltimore Colt to achieve the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He obliged,adding his jersey number, 88, and a team identity -- Colts.
The youngster said he regretted the Colts had such a bad year. Mackeyquickly took the paper and, not wanting to be confused with Indianapolis,emphatically wrote Baltimore in front of Colts. It was a significant move byMackey, who along with his wife, Sylvia, is all aglow over the Hall of Fameacceptance.
Mackey said he will ask to be presented at the Hall installation on Aug. 1at Canton, Ohio, by Jack Kemp, a former pro football player, now the Secretaryof Housing and Urban Development in President Bush's administration.
"It never bothered me I wasn't elected sooner," Mackey said at a Super Bowl party hosted by Kemp at the prestigious Minneapolis Club. "I only knewwhat I had done on the field and the Hall of Fame was out of my control."
Mackey heard the news Saturday when he called his hotel operator formessages. He was told, "You have been 'indicted' by the Hall of Fame."Enjoying the inadvertent humor, Mackey next told his son he has been"abducted" by the Hall of Fame.
That it took Mackey 15 years, five as a finalist, to attain the honor issimilar to Paul Hornung of the Green Bay Packers, who had a comparable waitbefore gaining entry. Mackey spent three years in the final countdown, whichclearly indicated "his time" for election was at hand.
"I'm glad Mackey got in," said George Young, general manager of the New York Giants. "It now puts an end to the talk he was passed over because of histies to the labor movement. You can think what you want of him as a player,but don't let anyone tell you his part in the union had anything to do withnot getting enough votes."
Mackey, in nine Colts seasons, established himself as a superb tight end,an awesome blocker and extraordinary runner after he got the ball. His onlyshortcoming was that he was not considered a sure-handed receiver. But thatnegative is put away now that the Hall of Fame has knighted him.
Other Baltimore players to receive the game's highest honor --enshrinement in the Hall -- are Art Donovan, Gino Marchetti, Jim Parker, Raymond Berry, Lenny Moore, John Unitas, Y.A. Tittle, Ted Hendricks, and Joe Perry, plus coach Weeb Ewbank.
Marchetti, Parker, Berry and Unitas entered in their first year ofeligibility. What about future Colts, now that Mackey has made football's mostillustrious team? Maybe linebacker Mike Curtis and defensive back Bobby Boydwill be the next Colts, but it may be a struggle because the talent pool haswidened with 28 NFL teams, and more players being nominated all the time.
This year's original master list started at 66, was pared to 15, then 10,six and, finally, the four winning recipients: Lem Barney of the Detroit Lions, John Riggins of the Washington Redskins, Al Davis of the Oakland/LosAngeles Raiders and Mackey.
With 31 selectors present for the voting process, it was necessary for 24,or 80 percent, to approve. Sevennegative votes meant elimination. As mentioned, it took Hornung 15 years tomake the grade.
Bob St. Clair and Arnie Weinmeister waited 22 years, Frank "Gunner" Gatski23 years, Doak Walker 24. Willie Woods, Len Ford and Dante Lavelli were 13years in waiting; Pete Pihos, Doug Atkins, Sam Huff and retired commissioner Pete Rozelle eight years.
With the Veterans' Committee, the late Willie Galimore, halfback of the Chicago Bears, was a 1992 nominee. He failed to qualify before the full juryand it is doubtful his name will be brought back again for scrutiny.
In seven of 19 years, the Veterans' Committee choice was rejected. And noveteran pick has ever been recycled a second time around. Leading the overallballot next year will be two finalists who didn't score enough votes -- guard Tom Mack of the Los Angeles Rams and receiver Charlie Joiner of the HoustonOilers, Cincinnati Bengals and San Diego Chargers.
Controversy came out of the meeting when an informal survey conducted by aWest Coast reporter showed a minimum of eight of the 31 selectors said theydid not vote for Davis, the Raiders' owner whose first job in pro football,part-time, was with the Colts.
The Hall of Fame board of directors has a clause that a minimum of fournominees must be endorsed each year. If sufficient votes aren't there toqualify a fourth inductee then the election of the candidate with the nexthighest number of votes in the balloting is included.
So it is believed, but not confirmed, because the Hall of Fame does notreveal vote counts, that Davis was the benefactor of a ground rule that in allprobability has never been used in the past.

The Interesting Narrative Of The Life Of O. Equiano, Or G. Vassa -Page 87
Author: Equiano, Olaudah
Medium: Letterpress
Date: 1789
Extract from the autobiography of Olaudah Equiano. This is Equiano's account of the horrors he witnessed and endured during the 'middle passage' on the slave ship that took him from Africa to Barbados. He describes how some of the enslaved Africans jumped overboard ? choosing death in preference to suffering the appalling conditions on board and the brutality of the slave traders. On arrival in Barbados the slaves were taken to a merchant's yard to be sold. Several brothers were sold in separate lots and Equiano writes of how moved he was by their distress at being parted. Equiano was to remain in the West Indies for only a short time before being taken to Virginia, where he was sold to a planter. After a month he was then sold on to an officer in the Royal Navy ? Michael Pascal, who took him to London. Equiano was to remain with Pascal for some 6 years during which time he received an education both in England and on board ship. He also served with Pascal in the Seven Years War.

I've got a really soft spot for the Knog Nerd, it's a well designed, easy to use, durables and fun gadget but I've also got to admit that there's a wealth of wireless models that will do much more for the same and in some cases, considerably less money.
Knog's NERD Wireless 5 Function cycle computer is basically a scaled down version of the 12 function model. Losing none of its bigger sibling's charms, its delightfully simple to set up (I had ours calibrated and installed in six minutes), intuitive to use and the display could only be bettered with a backlight. Build quality remains impressive - my 12-function is still going strong despite an unplanned tour de washing machine and this one has sniggered at winter's procession of showers, sleet and plummeting temperatures.
In essence we have an oversized head unit and fork sensor encased in the brands' trademark silicone duvet. This monocoque design comprises of straps for a truly universal fit around the complete zodiac of fork and handlebar diameters while insulating electrical components from the elements, competing signals and potentially damaging vibration.
It's a shame you can't purchase these separately for the last word in colour coordination when swapping between bikes. A mere five functions comprising of 12/24hr clock, current speed, trip distance, ride time and overall distance isn't going to blow anyone's mind but is arguably less irksome than manufacturers including wireless and twin-bike settings amongst the modes. Ours was a very fetching baby blue, complimenting my Ilpompino perfectly but there's black, green magenta, red or white should you prefer.
Faithful to the blurb, it starts registering data 1.2 seconds from standstill and a neat little graph nestling beside the prodigious numerals indicates how current speed compares with average without needing to toggle through the modes. Incidentally, this is performed by gently depressing the 'activation area' at the bottom of the screen- the sensation feels a little unnatural to begin with but is broadly comparable with time honoured two button configuration. Prodigious 53x51x40mm dimensions mean its an absolute doddle to read-even on those kamikaze descending missions, so perfect for those urban riders who like to combine commuting and training.
Beautifully designed, easy to use computer albeit expensive compared with ordinary wireless models.

"These brainiacs started off in buttoned-up sweaters, awkwardly holding their library books and getting milkshake poured over their heads by a cliq of pretty girls a-holes. Fast-forward 90 minutes though, the big spectacles have been taken off, the pony-tail let out and OMG - she's still a N.E.R.D, still the smartest thing on two wheels, but golly is she a foxy one.". In short its a very chic, user friendly handlebar mounted computer.

Both the NERD 5 and its 12 function sibling seem well built.
Our twelve function NERD is still going strong a couple of years on.
Very easy to read and simple to use thanks to the large display and touch screen control.
Nigh on forty quid is very steep given the modest specification.
Tell us how the product performed overall when used for its designed purpose
The baby Nerd has all the charms of its bigger siblings, namely funky styling,intuitive design and accurate readouts. However, a backlight would've been welcome and five functions feel very low rent by modern standards.

Car Transfer Simulator Helps Patients on the Road to Recovery
The inpatient rehabilitation program at Sentara Williamsburg Regional Medical Center is riding a little smoother these days, thanks to the generosity of the hospital Auxiliary in Williamsburg, who recent purchased a Car Transfer Simulator for the hospital. This simulator allows patients to practice getting in and out of a car and finding the best position as they get ready for life outside of the hospital.
The rehab gym at Sentara Williamsburg has many of the familiar tools associated with rehabilitating patients, but it is also equipped with the tools of daily living – a full complement of kitchen equipment, a washing machine, a computer and now a car simulator.
"Our goal is to get patients back to the activities of daily life," said Rita Wade, RN, the orthopedic patient navigator at Sentara Williamsburg. "We try to ease them back into familiar situations that once may have been easy, but are now much more daunting after surgery or illness."
Getting into and out of a car is something many patients take for granted before losing functional mobility due to stroke, brain or spinal cord injury, amputation, joint replacement or other conditions. It is important that patients gain confidence getting in and out of a car and they need to learn safe positioning to protect their surgical wounds.
"The ability to get into and out of cars is so important and we are grateful for the support of our Auxiliary in providing our program with such a valuable tool," Wade added.
The car simulator itself is real to life with doors on both sides to practice entering and exiting the driver side or the passenger side of car. It has adjustable seats and seat belts, locks, and a steering wheel. The car can be adjusted for height to simulate a car, sports utility vehicle, truck or other mode of transportation to present an accurate representation of the vehicle the patient will be using.
The equipment cost $12,000 and was purchased by the hospital auxiliary in support of the rehab department at Sentara Williamsburg.
"We look for opportunities to impact patient care in a meaningful way when we make our funding decisions," said Marty Jones, Auxiliary president. "This simulation car will have use for a wide variety of patients and we already see the positive impact it is making."

CHICAGO – An attorney claiming to represent Drew Peterson filed a motion this week asking a judge to toss his conviction for murdering his third wife, arguing that the lead trial attorney botched the case.
But the lawyer targeted in the court document shot back Wednesday, saying he spoke to the former suburban Chicago police officer in jail and that Peterson disavowed the filing.
"It's ridiculous. It's bizarre," said Joel Brodsky, Peterson's longtime attorney who led the defense during the month-and-a-half long trial.
The filing was submitted by Chicago-area attorney John Paul Carroll, who wasn't involved at Peterson's trial. Carroll conceded Wednesday that Peterson sounded hesitant about the filing.
"I asked if he wanted me to go ahead," Carroll said. "He sat there looking at his shoes, then said, 'Yeah, go ahead.' " Carroll said he technically didn't need Peterson's permission and, if he had to, might have filed the motion even without Peterson's OK.
A hearing is scheduled Friday to address the matter, Carroll said. He said Peterson's intentions should become clear then, but added: "If he abandons it, I think he'd be silly."
Peterson, 58, gained notoriety by hitting the talk-show circuit after his fourth wife, 23-year-old Stacy Peterson, vanished in 2007. Her disappearance eventually led to him being charged in the 2004 death of his third wife, Kathleen Savio, whose body was found in her bathtub with a gash on the back of her head.
Peterson is scheduled to be sentenced Nov. 26 for Savio's murder. Peterson faces a maximum 60-year prison sentence. He has not been charged in the disappearance of Stacey Peterson.
Among the allegations in Carroll's filing is that Brodsky misled his client about the extent of his trial experience and that he called a witness whose testimony backfired on the defense. It also alleges that Brodsky duped Peterson into thinking that generating publicity before trial would help win an acquittal.
"Instead, the publicity dramatically increased the possibility of a conviction," the filing argues.
On Wednesday, Brodsky said the allegations "are an absolute fantasy." He said Carroll had neither the authority nor approval from Peterson to file the motion, and that Carroll had gone to the jail to talk to Peterson about legal issues regarding his police pension.
Motions to overturn convictions by blaming an attorney for bungling the case at trial are rarely granted, since judges set a high bar for defendants seeking a new trial on those grounds.

Karen Coleman is a member of new Philly Improv Theater House Team codenamed Shadowfax. She also produces a web comic, Wednesday Night Danger Club.
How and why did you get into comedy? I needed comedy as a creative outlet. As a teenager I did a lot of community theater. When I was 19, I auditioned for an improv show at my Community College which ended up performing regularly and I fell in love with it. I then moved to NYC to study illustration at Parsons and took as many improv classes that I could. I just started working on a new web comic as another way to express myself comedically.
How would you describe your style as a comedian? What influences and factors do you think contribute to that? I've always thought of myself as an artist and I haven't really thought about myself as a comedian until recently. It's hard to think of myself as having a style. I have always been influenced by strong female performers and there are a lot of funny, talented women improvisers in Philadelphia. I want people that I think are funny to laugh at me. Hey, can I talk about my web comic? www.wednesdaynightdangerclub.com
Do you have a favorite show or venue you like to perform at? What about it makes it fun or special for you? The few times I was able to perform at the UCB theater in New York, it felt amazing to stand where amazing people stood. And I'm excited to be a part of the Philly Improv Theater and do shows at the Shubin, the energy at that theater is practically tangible.
Do you have a single favorite moment in Philly comedy or one that stands out? It is difficult for me to choose a single moment. I'm going to say it's the time we were having Incubator in the park and a random man started crying because we were too loud.
Do you have any sort of creative process that you use with your writing or your performance? It's hard to perform, and its hard to live your life, when you are in your head about what people are thinking about you or if you think your ideas are stupid. It's important to be present and in the moment not only for improv scenes but also in general. I need to remind myself of that sometimes to clear my head, especially when it comes to performing.
What is it about improv (or stand-up, or sketch, whatever you do…) that draws you to it? I am drawn to writing my web comic, www.wednesdaynightdangerclub.com, which is heavily influenced by my experience with improv. I love the process of starting with nothing and creating something, and connecting seemingly random ideas to make them meaningful. I love using my energy to build characters and how sometimes I can surprise myself when I didn't even know what I was going to say until after I said it.
Do you have any favorite performers in the Philly scene? Why are they your favorites? I do! I love and am inspired by my teammates on – soon to be announced PHIT house team name – and my favorite performers are the ones that look like they are having fun and make it look easy.
Do you have any bad experiences doing comedy that you can share? A particularly bad bombing or even an entire show gone haywire? I have had moments where I have been disappointed in my performance or scenes just felt awkward and terrible, but fortunately I do not.
What do you think the Philly comedy scene needs to continue to grow? Chia seeds.
Do you have any personal goals for the future as you continue to perform comedy? Personally, I'm only in this for the money. I'm hoping for a reality show. (Greater confidence in my choices, soak up as much knowledge as I can, perform as much as I can.) I also want the future to bring more readers of my web comic. www.wednesdaynightdangerclub.com

Made by Forgan of St. Andrews
Brief history of Forgan of St. Andrews
Hugh Philp was appointed club maker to the Society of St. Andrews (Later the Royal & Ancient) in 1819. He, and his clubs (Especially his putter), established a unique reputation and were in great demand. In 1852, Philp's nephew, Robert Forgan, Took over the family business, and a combined 'Philp Forgan' motif was stamped on the clubs. Four years later, when Hugh Philp died, 'Philp Forgan' simply became 'Forgan'. From that day forward, Robert and his brother James paid great attention to raw materials and pioneered the use of hickory for the shaft. To prevent unscrupulous merchants from switching the wood, the Forgans' used a special hammer to stamp the family name on each piece of timber they selected for delivery.
In 1863, Robert Forgan was appointed club maker to the Prince of Wales and was allowed to use the Prince's Feathers as a trademark on all his clubs. As business increased, so did the size of the company. Robert's son, T.B. Forgan, joined his father's company in 1881 and by 1895 the company had nearly 40 employees. By the turn of the century, Forgan was the largest equipment maker in St. Andrews and had fully merchandised their operation.

One of my cavs had throat surgery about 3 years ago (she had laryngeal paralysis). I've thought about changing all the dogs kibble (all of our local distributors quit carrying my brand Royal Canine Mini Lite), but hers has to be quite small to chew/swallow. How can you tell kibble size before buying a whole new bag? icon_nwunsure

Mike Morris, former managing director of Channel 4's commercial arm 4Rights, has launched Cue Card Media, a new consultancy and IP development venture.
The company has private backing from Paul Higgins and Will Clarke, who founded Optimum releasing together (Clarke now runs Altitude Film Entertainment).
Cue Card will concentrate on consulting for rights owners, distributors, broadcasters and new media platforms in the development and exploitation of their IP and rights catalogue including sourcing investment for development; and independent aggregation of rights for producers, broadcasters and distributors to significantly increase their value.
Morris said: "At 4Rights in just five years, we built up a highly profitable £50m-turnover business that was capable of funding and developing world beating properties such as The Inbetweeners Movie, the UK's biggest comedy film, and The Snowman and the Snowdog, the cornerstone of Channel 4's recent Christmas schedule.
"Cue Card Media has similar ambitions and will offer a powerful, independent and flexible service to help rights owners maximize the value of their IP and get their ideas to market.'
He previously worked at Itel, Yorkshire Television Enterprises and Saatchi and Saatchi.

JOSHUA TREE NATIONAL PARK – Dawn breaks cold and quiet here, and the cool thing is that few campers know it.
Yes, Joshua Tree National Park is unlike many parks where eager campers start banging around pots and pans before any sane person should be out of their tent.
With thousands of spindly Joshua Trees dotting the landscape and a wide open cerulean sky framed by low mountains on the horizon, the vibe here is relaxed. It's a no-worries, be-happy Zen thing.
Some are here to rock climb in what many consider the nation's premier winter rock-climbing spot. Others are here just to stretch their legs and take it all in.
I unzip my sleeping bag, tug on a jacket and crawl out of my tent to brew coffee and check emails. I can't get a signal.
Frustrated, I stand on a rock still in shadow, the sun blocked by a massive boulder formation. Got to make every minute count. I stare at no bars, no 4G.
The sun's rays creep closer. Soon, I'm toasty without a jacket. Sipping coffee, I remember something that's easy to forget in Orange County. Unplugged, we survive.
No, unplugged, we thrive.
Yes, it's a very healthy thing simply looking at the desert turn from orange to gold.
A climber I'm with has a cold. No sticky rock shoes, no climbing chalk, no rope, not on this day.
My mind and body untenses – and I didn't realize I was tense. Despite the laid-back code of rock climbers, there's always electricity in the air when you're about to go up against the power of gravity.
Smiling to myself at hearing the news, I recall gearing up to scale a challenging route at Hidden Valley, a particularly popular climbing and camping area here. It's also a route I've pendulumed four times, falling and swinging from a rope, smashing into a wall with the surface of extra-course sandpaper.
A tan, lean man wearing only shorts, climbing shoes, a chalk bag, and a green, yellow and black rasta beanie walked up. Softy, he drawled, "Mind if I go ahead?"
"No problem," my climbing partner said, turning to me and adding softly, "Watch this."
Rastaman, without rope, slipped a chalk-coated hand into a crack with no holds, then his next hand. Slowly, gracefully, he started to ascend – like water would if it could flow up a cliff.
My friend, an exceptionally experienced rock climber, was right. The dude was worth watching. If you enjoy watching humans do amazing things and don't want to pay a Cirque de Soleil ticket price, that alone is worth the 2½-hour drive.
But there are many more reasons …
The smell and sound of eggs frying breaks my thoughts. I walk over to a sturdy, clean park-provided picnic table.
My friend asks, "Want to check out the Hall of Horrors?"
It is the first in a series of cool things we see on this day. Here's a guide:
Getting there: With friends or family for company, it's a relatively quick drive. For the main (and recommended entrance), head east on I-10 (as you would going to Palm Springs) and head north at Highway 62. You have about an hour to go after leaving the freeway. In the town of Joshua Tree Village, turn south at Park Boulevard.
Entrance fees: $15 per vehicle to enter (good for seven days); $30 for an annual pass.
Day-trip reservations: If you're not spending the night, you don't need reservations.
Overnight reservations: The strange thing about the 794,000-acre park is that most non-group camping is first-come, first-get. There are spots where non-group campsites can be reserved, but they are far from the main area. For reservations, 877-444-6777 or recreation.gov.
Tip: Drive around. You might find a site nearly hidden between several others.
Camping fees: $10 for individual spots (maximum three tents); $25 to $40 for group sites, which you can reserve.
Temperatures: Currently, days are mid-60s; nights reach low 40s. Winter temperatures typically are 60s during the day, low 30s at night. Summer temperatures hit triple digits.
Tip: Bring two bundles of firewood per night; fire rings and grills are at every campsite.
Necessities: Bring water; most areas have no water. Bring sun block; there is little shade.
Visitor Center: There's one at the entrance, and it can save time and is actually pretty cool. Rangers can help with planning.
Nature trails: There are a dozen self-guided trails. Check the map and brochure you receive at the entrance.
Keys Ranch: A one-time working ranch with ranch house, school, store and workshop. This requires an advance reservation and includes a 90-minute guided walking tour. Fee, $5; 760-367-5555.
Hall of Horrors: Sign off main road, this short hike and boulder scramble offers a split in rocks that Indiana Jones would appreciate.
Barker Dam: 1.3-mile loop to a dam built by early ranchers. The lake is currently dry.
Keys View: 20 minutes from the main road, the spot offers views of the San Andreas Fault, Salton Sea, Santa Rosa Mountains, 11,500-foot Mount San Gorgonio.
Stargazing: One of the best things about Joshua Tree is seeing the night sky without light pollution. As rangers advise, "Tour the Milky Way."
Birding: Species include quails, roadrunners, wrens, sparrows and more.
Backpacking: Wilderness camping is permitted one mile from roads and 500 feet from trails.
Hiking: There are many varied trails; details at the Visitor Center and online.
Horseback riding: 253 miles of trails; several campgrounds have horse areas.
Mountain biking: Trails are off-limits; stay on dirt roads.
Off-highway driving: Stay on established roads; details available at Visitor Center and online.
Ranger programs: Schedule is online and at center.
Rock climbing: This isn't the gym, so know what you're doing. Or just watch and bring binoculars. (See my previous column on J-Tree climbing. It's online.)
Wildflowers: Desert annuals flower this month. Other plants need rain and begin blossoming in spring.
More information: nps.gov/jotr
Reservations: 877-444-6777, recreation.gov.
Final tips: Bring water, respect the desert and pick up trash. The fragile environment takes years to recover.
And, yes, turn off cellphones.

Evolution of Galaxies and Central Black Holes: Feeding and Feedback
10-14 August 2009
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
It is now widely recognized that nuclear activity is an important ingredient in shaping the evolution of galaxies. With the advent of techniques for estimating AGN black hole masses, even at large redshifts, and the availability of large quasar samples over a broad range of redshifts and selected at wavelengths ranging from the radio to the X-ray, the field has undergone transformational change. A major focus has become observational and theoretical investigation of nuclear activity in the context of the galactic environment, which can be described in terms of "feeding" and "feedback". AGN feeding is tightly correlated with redshift-dependent star formation in the host galaxy. AGN feedback, in the form of relativistic jets, massive winds, and intense radiation, has been invoked to solve a broad range of problems that arise in Cold Dark Matter-based models of galaxy formation: setting the critical mass scale for galaxies, regulating cooling in clusters, and shutting down star formation. Such feedback, feeding, and their mutual interaction might possibly account for the tight relationship between galactic bulge mass and central black hole mass.
The purpose of the symposium was to bring together researchers, both theorists and observers, from different specializations to better define the current global landscape and to motivate new lines of research. The timing of this symposium was propitious: HST was expected to be in its first full cycle after SM4 refurbishment, and ALMA, JWST, and LSST will be on the near-term horizon.
Scientific Program:
- Session 1. The first galaxies and black holes
- Session 2. Quasar and supermassive black hole demographics
- Session 3. Multi-wavelength properties of AGN and their hosts
- Session 4. Black hole masses, scaling relationships, and their evolution
- Session 5. Accretion and feeding
- Session 6. Outflows and feedback
- Session 7. The Big Picture: Large-scale effects of feedback on galaxies and their environment

Flat Bead Bracelet: Black CZ Diamond Pave | Gunmetal | Blue Cord | FlatBead Jewelry
Crystals were created as the earth formed and they have continued to metamorphose as the planet itself has changed. They are the earth's DNA, a chemical imprint for evolution. They are miniature storehouses containing the records of the development of the earth over millions of years, and bearing the indelible memory of the powerful forces that shaped it. Their crystalline structure can absorb, conserve, focus and emit energy, especially on the electromagnetic waveband.
Crystals make excellent jewelry for both men and women. Wearing gems used to be a royal or priestly prerogative. The high priest of Judaism wore a breastplate set with precious stones. It was much more than a badge of office; it conveyed power to the wearer. As far back as the Stone Age, men and women wore crystal jewelry and talismen. They had a protective as well as decorative function, guarding their wearer from harm.
Crystals have been used to heal and bring balance, working through resonance and vibration. Crystals are said to heal holistically - that is to say, they work on the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels of being.
The gemstone property information here is to use as you see fit, but is not to take the place of professional medical care. Crystals, Gemstones and Talismen can negate, protect, encourage, strengthen, and balance and promote healing and positivity. Their effects can be extraordinary, but use in addition to medical advice, and not as a substitute for proper care.

Note: The following was originally posted on my old personal blog on November 1, 2005. I'm reposting it now because Meredith and her research are in the news and currently getting raked over the coals at Shakesville, which bums me right out.
I already piped up in the comments there, but I want to put this out here, too, because I'm disappointed that this research–which, as I say below, can easily be used to refute "She secretly wanted it" accusations–is being so totally misunderstood and misrepresented on a site I love.
Without further ado…
Nov. 1, 2005
This is the kind of thing going on in Toronto, now that I'm gone. Everywhere gets more interesting after I leave.
Well, more interesting and more stomach-churning, in this case. I can't believe the woman's attorneys are basically going with, "Hey, it's not that big" as a rebuttal, when I can think of a psychologist in Toronto, off the top of my head, who could get on the stand and tell them exactly why a woman could be both "sexually aroused" and raped. In the course of a study on sexual arousal and orientation, my sometime friend Meredith learned that men become physically aroused based on what mentally arouses them: e.g., straight and lesbian porn, but not gay porn, for heterosexual men. Women, however, may only report mental arousal with regard to porn that floats their particular boats, but they exhibit signs of physical arousal when watching straight porn, gay male porn, lesbian porn and… drumroll… chimp porn.
The theory is, we're designed to get wet at the merest hint of sex, for a very good reason: so if we do end up having sex, whether we want it or not, we don't sustain physical damage that could lead to bacterial infections, which could have led to infertility or death for our ancestors.
In other words, our bodies become "aroused" at the drop of a hat, precisely so getting raped won't kill us. Which strikes me as a slightly better argument than "Seriously, six inches around isn't so big."
And because this post is not yet All About Me, I'll add that I first learned about the study from Meredith while sitting on my back deck in Toronto a couple years ago, complete with a detailed description of how levels of arousal were measured. (To sum up: ewwww.) And we'd had a little bit of wine, and there were several other people there asking follow-up questions, so it was not a quiet conversation. And I'm pretty sure that was the moment my Toronto neighbors started hating me. Just a fun fact there.
Hat-tip to Salon's new "Broadsheet" for the Sun link, and for coining the word "repli-cock."

An "exclusive" photo that gossip behemoth TMZ.com posted Monday -- and touted as something that "could have altered world events" -- was actually published in the pages of Chicago's own Playboy in 1967.
The photo, showing several naked women and "a man appearing to be" JFK lounging on a yacht, was first published in Playboy's "Charter Yacht Party: How to Have a Ball on the Briny with an Able-Bodied Complement of Ship's Belles."
The original photo was in full color, but TMZ's version was in black and white.
According to TMZ's original post, the photo was "eventually given to a man who owned a car dealership on the East coast. The man kept it in a drawer for years, and would brag to friends he had an image of JFK on a boat with naked women. The man died 10 years ago and one of his sons inherited the photo."
TMZ allegedly hired experts to determine the photo's origin and provenance, which has some observers calling for them to reveal their sources.
