Arkansas State Chancellor Tim Hudson visits Mexico to continue process of opening a campus
JONESBORO, Ark. – After receiving authorization in December from the Board of Trustees to proceed with negotiations for an Arkansas State University campus in Mexico, Chancellor Tim Hudson traveled to Mexico to consult with project advocates and partners in the State of Queretaro.
Following a breakfast meeting hosted by Governor Jose Calzada in his official residence, Dr. Hudson and the governor went on a walking tour of the historic center of the city. Trailing along were numerous news media representatives who interviewed Hudson (in Spanish) and Queretaro Minister of Education Fernando de la Isla whose agency will approve the campus.
When newspapers were published the next day, the story of Arkansas State University's plans to locate in Queretaro was on every front page, no real surprise given the interest the governor has shown.
"Governor Calzada remains totally committed to the project," Dr. Hudson said, referring to plans for Arkansas State to establish a campus in Queretaro. "He pledged, once again, any and all assistance to everyone involved to help make the project highly successful."
While in Queretaro, Hudson worked to sustain momentum for the first of its kind plan, meeting with key governmental and private representatives. Accompanied by various entrepreneurs and developers who will work together to make the A-State campus a reality once a location is selected, Dr. Hudson visited possible sites for the future campus in Queretaro, mostly by helicopter.
"Overall, the atmosphere was very positive – everyone realizing that this project will indeed be a reality and that the next phase of hard work is already upon us," he continued. "The caliber of the individuals now involved in this project could not be higher."
The primary option preferred by the project participants will embed the campus, expected to be approximately 150 acres, within a larger development. The site is convenient to the international airport and major highways.
During his visit to Queretaro in December, Chancellor Hudson was particularly struck by three major developments that underscore Queretaro as what the New York Times has called the "other Mexico," because of its extraordinary economic development and social progress.
First, the State of Queretaro won fierce internal competition to be the other terminus (along with Mexico City) for the first high-speed railroad line to be built in the Western Hemisphere. A Spanish-French conglomerate is scheduled to begin construction late this year, with a completion date of 2016. This link will reduce travel time between the two cities to one hour.
A second announcement was made concerning Mexico's initiative to establish its own deep space program over the next decade, with research and implementation activity headquartered in Queretaro. Hudson pointed out that the city's robust aeronautics sector contributed to its selection.
Also, Queretaro will complete construction of the country's first children's cancer research center and hospital, utilizing only privately raised funds.
During his visit to Mexico, Hudson traveled to Mexico City and met with the formally registered, non-profit organization authorized to engage in all operations needed to support ASU's mission there. Investors will finance and build the campus ensuring that Arkansas State will have no liabilities in the country.
Oscar Franco, the chief executive officer of Grupo Proyectos and Edmundo Ortiz, who heads up the project, is the vice chair. Franco, Ortiz, Governor Calzada, and several other representatives from Mexico traveled to Arkansas State and Jonesboro last September for an official visit, during which time they familiarized themselves with the university and its mission.
Representatives have signed a management agreement with ASU that sets out expectations for both parties and ensures ASU academic oversight and control as the project moves forward, Hudson explained. Investors will finance and build the campus ensuring that Arkansas State will have no liabilities in the country.
The next steps will include a possible visit to Arkansas by representatives of the group of developers, who are now preparing a comprehensive land development plan with the university campus at its heart. Also, they will seek the participation of the president of Mexico in a formal announcement ceremony.
Back in Jonesboro, Hudson met with a growing "Mexico Campus" interest group that included project director Dr. Yvonne Unnold, chair of the Department of World Languages and Cultures and ASU project lead, Julie Isaacson, president of the Faculty Association, Dr. Lynita Cooksey, Provost and vice chancellor for Academic Affairs, Dr. Len Frey, vice chancellor for Finance and Administration, and Trustee Dan Pierce.
"Now that the spring semester is underway, Dr. Unnold and I will also be meeting with our own faculty and other campus leaders to discuss details regarding curriculum, space needs, and other aspects," Hudson added. In the meantime, Investors will draft an initial marketing plan and strategy with a goal of opening the campus in the fall of 2015.

Donald Richie's contribution was originally printed in the January 1995 edition of the Tokyo Journal. It was excerpted from Japan Journals 1947-2004 by Donald Richie (Stone Bridge Press. 2004). Donald Richie's first visit to Japan took place in 1947. Since that time he became a celebrated film critic, author and composer, not to mention a journalist of many talents recording the changes of over half a century of life in Tokyo. Donald Richie contributed to the Tokyo Journal over the years and when asked about times in the '90s, Donald replied, "Frightening but exhilarating. I think everybody with a pencil should be out there taking notes."

It's hard to believe that my time as an intern at Campus Kitchens is almost over, I'm headed home for a visit in less than two weeks, and when I return there will only be a couple weeks left of my internship. I went into this summer with one main goal, and that was to really get to know the clients that Campus Kitchens serves. I won't pretend that I know everyone's name or everything about them, but I definitely think that I have learned a lot from our clients, and have begun to build what I believe will be strong and long lasting relationships with many of them, in particular I have grown close to many of the kids at the Summer Fun program, and the residents at the Manor.
I expected to love working with the kids at Summer Fun, as the majority of my service as a Bonner Scholar has been with kids in Lexington area schools, (in fact I know several of the kids in the program from previous volunteer experiences). What I did not expect, was how much I have come to love going to the Manor. The first time I went to the Manor, it was because the kid's programs hadn't started up yet, so I was just going with on all of the adult shifts. By the end of my first visit, I found that I really enjoyed meeting with the residents and hearing of their life experiences. I have spoken to people at the Manor who hail from all over the country and have had a vast array of different circumstances shape their lives. The time I have spent on the Manor has refreshed the importance of providing both companionship and nutritious meals in order to satisfy the needs of our clients. It has also taught me how much there is to learn from other people and their stories, more than anything else I think it has helped me understand in a deeper sense the importance of the work Campus Kitchens, and other relief agencies like it do for the communities they work in.
This summer I have gained a better understanding of the work Campus Kitchens does, as I have had the opportunity both to witness behind the scenes fundraising and administrative work, and up-front client interaction on a much larger scale. As my internship winds down, and I look toward the next school year, I hope to continue to volunteer at the Manor and at the school year's version of Summer Fun aka Lexington Office on Youth; so that I can further develop the bonds I have formed with our clients, and continue to learn more from and about them.

Log data is becoming an increasingly important indicator of companies' application, IT and overall business health. It is the go-to data when things go wrong.
More than ever before, companies are turning to logs to proactively troubleshoot in development, support real-time performance-monitoring efforts, analyze user behavior and assure security compliance. Based on Logentries' 25,000 global users who are actively analyzing and tagging critical log events in real time, the top tags fall into three critical categories: organization-wide exceptions (e.g., general browser and server issues); security-related tags (e.g., tracking SQL injection attempts to block breaches); and specific, application-level server exceptions.
In this slide show, Logentries Chief Scientist Dr. Trevor Parsons shares perspective on the 15 most common Web server tags and real-time alerts so any company can quickly start classifying log data and proactively identify common issues.

One Man's Junk Becomes Artful Rewards at Autorama Extreme
The Detroit Autorama is a big deal. Since 1964, it's where well-funded builders and customers have debuted new project cars to compete for the Don Ridler memorial award (Sponsored by GM Performance Division). The show is massive and serious. There's another facet to this celebration of custom iron, though, and it's just as serious but without the pomp and circumstance. Deep in the bowels of Cobo Hall—beneath the six- and seven-figure show cars with displays that cost nearly that much—you'll find the Autorama Extreme hall, or "The Basement" for short. It's a place for traditional hot rods and a haven for those who care deeply about style and the right haircut. In fact, you can get a period-correct haircut from the staff of the Berkeley Chop Shop while drooling over vintage tin and listening to live music. The cars range from retro-pure roadsters to full-on rats.
Autorama Extreme is a different kind of cool, and the handcrafted awards given to the best entries are coveted just as much as the shiny ones handed out upstairs. The trophies are built by the Detroit chapter of the Poor Boys CarClub (TheOriginalPoorBoys.com). Tim King finds most of the parts, Roger Atwood handles the fabrication, and Marc Nischan adds the finishing touches: custom stripes and lettering. This year, Matt Homer and Lefty, a visiting Poor Boys member from Sacramento who came out for Autorama, lent steady helping hands to the striping, too. The Poor Boys also have their own shindig in June called Sins of Steel (SinsOfSteel.com) with equally cool awards. Here are a few of our faves from Detroit.

Everyone loves a beautiful tan, no matter the season. What we don't love, the awful damage that UV rays do to our skin. Need a solution?! Airbrush tanning is the easiest and safest way to get a healthy and sexy tan. With no sun required this is the best alternative for your skin to remain healthy but still have a sun kissed glow.
This is a great option for a last minute wedding, work function, or for everyday wear! Generally lasting up to 10 days with the right care, you can have the sun kissed look all week long! This is also a popular service for guests going on vacations that tend to get sun burned easily. The tanning solution is derived from sugar beets and contains the main ingredient DHA. It is an FDA approved solution, this is a smart and effortlessly way to brighten your skin.
What's the number one trick for keeping your tan lasting long and looking fresh? MOISTURIZER! Making sure your skin is exfoliated really well before you head in for your airbrush tan is key. You also need to limit physical activity for a recommended 12 to 24 hours after. This ensures that you get the full benefits from your tan and maximum results will show. After that it's just moisturizing in the morning and at night. Keeping the skin hydrated in the winter especially is important when prolonging your tan.
We've all heard of or used the bulky machines that do the spray tan for you, right? But we all know that they can't get in the nooks and crannies of our bodies. Our esthetician is specially trained to give you the best looking airbrush tan you've ever had! With having a hand held airbrush machine, she is able to cover every area of the body and avoid any streaking or missed areas that can occur with the machine tanning.

Duo Mints Delivers Fruit and Cool Flavor Sensation
Hershey Co., Hershey, Pa., introduces the coolest and sweetest way to experience fresh breath with the launch of Ice Breakers Duo mints, the ultimate "fruit + cool" flavor sensation. They're available in two flavors — Raspberry and Strawberry — and combine a sweet, fruity taste with the brand's signature cooling crystals.
"Ice Breakers Duo mints offer fans the best of both worlds with a delicious and invigorating fresh breath experience that pairs a sweet, textured fruity side with a cool, smooth minty taste," says Anna Lingeris, spokesperson for the Ice Breakers brand. "We're excited to bring this duality to life through a special partnership with Pandora and an interactive Facebook app that gets fans involved by taking a look at both the sweet and cool sides of their personalities."
To celebrate the new line of dazzling mouth sensations, Ice Breakers brand is challenging fans to Duo It Better on Facebook with four different activities that will bring out the sweet and cool sides of their personalities. Facebook profiles say a lot about a person, so Ice Breakers fans are invited to analyze theirs to find out where they land on the sweet versus cool scale. Who wouldn't want to be "Sweet as a Koala Bear Hug" or "Cool as a Snowman's Belly Button" (Facebook.com/Icebreakers)?
There's also access to three Pandora radio stations — Ice Breakers Duo Sweet Station, Ice Breakers Duo Cool Station and Ice Breakers Duo It Better Station — which offer fans sweet and cool music, featuring mash-ups, collaborations and covers to balance out the sweet and cool sides of their personalities. Fans can vote for songs to add and remove from their radio station
Suggested retail price for a 1.3-oz. tin is $2.25.

|At 721 cars, this game is going to be mighty hard to beat for the largest entry on IGCD. This game is perfect for this site, simply because it has a photo mode that you can use to capture your car perfectly and then transfer them to memory stick in order to be submitted to IGCD
2006-10-07 22:06
|Anyone else find this game a little too difficult?
2006-10-12 22:52
|If this isn't the ultimate driving game (and to be honest the ultimate virtual car catalogue), then...yea, it just is to be honest.
Precise, realistic and pretty much perfect.
2006-10-16 03:55
I haven't played it, I'm an Xbox fan (hate PS2s). I think the best racing game is Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition. Even though, it seems no where near as perfect as this one. The car damage isn't realisted, and there isn't one product of Ford Motor Company in the whole game. And, all the cars are way over-rated. It is just fun, no other game is as exciting. Project Gotham Racing 2 seems a lot like Grans Turismo 4. Seems to have similar graphics, similar cars and sounds just like it. Just as many cars too. Its SO hard though, I'm only a Novice. And I've been working at it for two years. I've unlocked the best cars already though . Ford GT and Ford GT40, Enzo Ferrari and the Ford F-150 SVT Lightening....Clarkson might like this game, he could rant about how bad the F-150 is and praise the GT.

|Clarkson loves this game, he used it on Top Gear once and also played it a lot at home when he had nothing to do as he couldnt drive because of his injury.
2006-10-26 20:15
|I found this game too long, I completed Gran Turismo 1, 2 and 3 in a few months, but I found this just too tiresome to get past even the early stages. The fun factor of the previous is missing for me. Still, can't fault the amazing graphics.

|There was also exclusive demo discs for GT4 each advertising a specific car that can now be considered collectors items - there was a BMW 1 series, Toyota Prius and Nissan Micra edition, as well as what appeared to be an exclusive demo that appeared at the NEC Motorshow last year, featuring the new Mazda MX-5.

The Ford Model T along with the other cars that you needed to complete all golds in licenses and the prize cars from the Driving Missions starting to the 11 are the most hardest cars to obtain and almost impossible to obtain due that the Ford Model T this car can be obtained by completing all golds in Super Licenses and the R89C can be won by beating the missions from 30 to 34 and also the 34 is extremely harder although that every Driving mission that requires IA License are extremely harder and almost impossible to finish first

Located in Berlin Mitte, the very heart of the capital, the Hackesche Höfe complex is Germany's largest series of enclosed courtyards and one of Berlin's main attractions. This is where you will find the atmospheric Chamäleon Theatre, a charming venue whose historical, art nouveau concert hall goes hand in hand with superb cuisine and the latest in stage technology. It is the perfect setting for variety, cabaret and events that are out of the ordinary.
Walking into the Hackesche Höfe, with its maze of interconnected courtyards and artistically significant historical façades, feels like stepping back into turn-of-the-century Berlin.This magnificent structure was originally opened in 1906 and comprehensively renovated in 1994. Today, it is an ideal home for the Chamäleon Theatre and its premium entertainment format, which combines different artistic genres and innovative programming to make it a pioneering force in German theatre and variety. The theatre's former ballroom was lovingly restored in 2004/2005 and – thanks to its glamorous art nouveau features and wonderful ambience – is one of Berlin's loveliest auditoriums. Behind the scenes, however, there is nothing but the very latest in technology. High-end lighting and sound systems ensure maximum visual and acoustic pleasure, and an adaptable stage system accommodates a wide variety of stage designs. Even the seating within the auditorium can be changed as required to suit the audience's needs. A well-stocked bar and excellent cuisine served by the partner restaurant 'al dente' round off the bill nicely, guaranteeing theatre-goers the perfect culinary accompaniment to a fine evening's entertainment.

No dealer purchase experience
No dealer purchase experience
Thanks for sharing that experience. It sounds like even though there are obstacles the Tesla experience is far more pleasant than the dealership experience.
Here in CT there are no Tesla stores, just a service center. I drove to NY (Westchester County) to do a test drive. The absolutley beautiful thing about it was that never was price brought up. Never asked, "....sooooo when are you looking to buy" They only answered the questions I asked. Hell, my sales rep even told me straight up which options he thought were waste of money and the one that he thought was a must have (Tech pkg). Again though, not even the slightest hint of pressure.
My office colleague couldn't believe that all I had to do was place my order through my computer and that was it. He kept saying that their is no way the sales rep wont get credit for the sale. The whole buying experience is so foreign that most people can't understand it. The general public is Pavlov's dog. Just for the record, I did place my order thorugh my sales rep over the phone. He does get a credit of sorts if the order is placed through him, on the store computer. I felt it was the right thing to do since he allowed or rather entertained me and friends to a total of 5 test drives before I made the purchse. This to was a foreign concept to my colleague. When was the last time a dealer let you test drive the same car, that many times and not pressure to buy on the spot.
Same experience here.
Over the years I have found it nearly impossible to get traditional dealers to order a car built exactly the way I want it. Special ordered a 3/4 to truck to haul a camper years ago. Waited 9 months to get the truck because a week after the order was placed the union workers that built the axles went on strike and shut down truck assembly. Since GM had so many trucks in dealer inventory they just waited out the strike. Stored the camper for nine months at the camper dealer and missed the summer with the kids camping.
My point is the current dealer model is incapable of delivering a vehicle equipped exactly how you want. With Tesla I was even able to add folding mirrors at the last minute when the option showed up online.
The reason why Tesla will NEVER let a car dealer sell their cars: i brought my wife's XTS to the dealer for servicing. While there I looked at the ELR. It wouldn't open! The sales guy said that it was dead. I suggested that they charge it. He said that the have a charging station in the back, but the cord wouldn't reach. So I sat down, ate donuts and waited for my car to be done.
So, they can't plug the ELR into a standard 110v outlet in the showroom? That is too funny. Also, how exactly did the car die sitting on the showroom floor? At the Westchetr NY mall store, they have an outlet built into the floor so that they can charge the car in the showroom, if needed.
Jordan, all TM showrooms have plugs on the floor for the demos to be plugged in. It's part of the design of every showroom / gallery.
ICE stealerships are introducing EV's as a band aid and not a new and revolutionary design. Everything is an after though. Catching up is an uphill battle if the leader is 5 years ahead...
Oh I know that the Tesla showrooms are purpose built. I was justing commenting on how Tesla could the fact that a car may need charging sitting on the showroom floor. That Caddy dealer obviously didn't think this one through. Though I also gather that the ELR doesn't come with a UMC and adpaters like Tesla's. Otherwise they wouldn't have a problem charging it where it sits.
The Elr has a j1772 connector and requires a charging station. So an ordinary plug wouldn't help.
Same experience for me. The TX "Tesla ban" is a non-event. Buying a Tesla is still easier than buying a car from a dealership. Tesla was also able to handle my trade-in better than most dealerships would.
The biggest difference I noticed was that I had to go and get the plates myself. Took all of 15 minutes. I actually preferred doing it myself because in my experience many dealers are lazy about getting the plates and you run around on temp tags until right before the dead line and hope the dealer gets off their ass and get you your plates. It's (of course) your responsibility to have valid plates on the car if you get pulled over.
My experience exactly.
Cap Zap, there are NO obstacles to the no dealer model. Quite the opposite!
@David Trushin
Eating donuts while waiting for your ICE car to be serviced???
Hate to think how many calories that was!
@zwede: I didn't know dealer has to get you permanenet plates in Texas. In Colorado, I always got my permanent plates myself from DMV for the last 25 years. All dealer gave me was a temporary tag. It is so amusing that car buying and registration process varies so much from state to state.
Friend gave me a test drive in his P+ after I e-bought my MS85 sight unseen, picked it up from a Service Center. Have still never been to a Tesla store. Easiest, most painless and actually delightful buying and delivery experience. I live in CA, an easy drive from at least 3 Tesla stores, but never had the need.

With the news that the hotly-anticipated Sex and The City sequel is set to take place in Morocco, Octopus Travel are today promoting Marrakech as an ideal destination for a short break or full holiday with friends.
The sequel will see the girls leave New York for an exotic trip to Morocco, where they will walk through the dunes of the Sahara Desert, lunch under the shade of a Bedouin tent and party the night away alongside belly dancers at a local nightclub.
Filming was recently completed at the truly opulent Amanjena Hotel in Marrakech, part of the Aman Resorts collection of hotels, all of which promise to deliver "beautiful natural location, outstanding facilities, exceptional service and a small number of rooms to ensure exclusivity and privacy."
British-Iranian actor and comedian Omid Djalili is set to play the hotels Moroccan owner, while Penelope Cruz, Liza Minnelli and Miley Cyrus are all expected to make cameos.
A spokesperson for Octopus Travel, online booking agents who offer Marrakech hotels ( http://uk.octopustravel.com/hotels/2/morocco/marrakech-hotels/), said "Sex and The City 2 is going to do wonders for raising Morocco's profile as an exotic holiday destination. With its abundance of luxurious hotels, restaurants and bars, all within an exotic North African setting, Morocco could well become the 'it' destination for 'it' girls in 2010."

INDIANA: House Approves Marriage Ban
The Indiana House today approved a proposed ballot measure which would enshrine a ban on same-sex marriage in the state constitution.
It now moves to the Senate, where such a ban has passed with little trouble in recent years. If it clears the Senate, then a separately-elected House and Senate must once again approve the ban in either 2013 or 2014. Then, voters would have the final say in a November 2014 referendum. "The basic unit of society is the family, and the cornerstone of the family is marriage. Marriage is, and should be, the union of one man and one woman," said Rep. Eric Turner, R-Marion. Rep. Ralph Foley, R-Martinsville, said the ban would have no effect on Hoosiers' ability to live with and love whomever they choose. "That loving friendship is a different relationship than a husband and wife, and we should recognize that in the law," he said.Today's House vote was a lopsided 70-26.

Game 5 to Resume on Weds. Night
Welcome to uncharted waters. We're moving forward, but it's definitely still very murky. But to the people in Florida, murjy is not always a bad thing. You know we do have swamps and bogs and underwater caves to explore in this state.
With the first suspended game in World Series history now scheduled to resume on Wednesday. Major League Baseball officials ruled that Tuesday was out of the question after logistics and the current weather was put to senarios and complications of playing in the weather.
The implications stretch beyond tickets and travel. The Rays and Phillies have baseball questions to answer with 3 1/2 innings left to play. It gets interesting right from the top, as Philadelphia will send a pinch-hitter to the plate to open the bottom of the sixth inning. Starting pitcher Cole Hamels' work is done
Manager Charlie Manuel confirmed what was already a formality on Tuesday. But Hamels would be in line for his fifth victory of the postseason if the Phillies could push across a run in the 6th and hold on to the lead for a win. Hamels would be the first starter in postseason history to win five games in five starts.
Rays manager Joe Maddon said on Monday night that Grant Balfour, who pitched the fifth for Tampa Bay after starter Scott Kazmir was pulled, is his pitcher to start the sixth.
But there's an excellent chance that will change quickly.
Most of Philadelphia's dangerous pinch-hitters bat from the left side, most notably Matt Stairs. So Manuel likely will summon a lefty as his first hitter once the game resumes, and Maddon likely would counter with a southpaw on the mound.
In fact, Maddon would be wise to warm up a lefty at the same time Balfour warms up. I am guessing that Rookie phenom, David Price will be warmed and ready to go by game time if Maddon inserted him into a long reliever's role to take over the lasdt 3 innings of the game for the Rays.
Both teams have well stocked Bullpens that will have plenty of rest. No pinch-hitters have been used, and the switch from Kazmir to Balfour is the only pitching change. So both managers have a full complement of tactical options once the game gets back under way. Both, meanwhile, downplayed the possibility of using a starting pitcher as a reliever in Game 5.
So in the practical sense, there's no real advantage going forward. Yet Tampa Bay has to feel on some level that it has pulled something of an escape. The Rays outlasted Hamels, and they're not behind. They may have the starting pitching advantage in Games 6 and 7, should those occur, and they'd also have home field.
That starting advantage in a potential Game 7, however, could go completely out the window if baseball adds a travel day after Game 5. The possibility is still in play that following a game Wednesday, the teams would travel on Thursday and play Game 6 in St. Petersburg on Friday. That would put Game 7 on Saturday, which would allow Hamels to pitch on full rest.
Additionally, the dynamics of Games 6 and 7 change in other ways. If Game 6 is held until Friday, then every starter on both teams save Hamels and Kazmir would be available to pitch on full rest in that game.
Game 4 took place on Sunday, so a Game 6 on Friday would provide four full days of rest for Joe Blanton and Andy Sonnanstine. At the very least, Blanton and Sonnanstine would be available to pitch in relief as much as needed in that game. Both of these bullpens are excellent, though Philadelphia has at least one advantage in that it needs 3 fewer outs. The Phils also have all of their end-of-game options intact, while the Rays do not have a shut-down closer this postseason.
It all starts with the Rays and Phillies getting through Game 5. That could be Wednesday — or later. It could start with Chris Coste against Balfour, and it could start with Stairs facing David Price .Whatever the course, each team will steer itself towards a clear and presnet advantage.
If the Phillies find that safe portage, the series is over and the celebration will start on Broad Street immediately. And if the Rays can pull off another miracle, we get to go to a closed dome stadium where weather and the elements are not a concern once you head into the doors of the Trop. So we get a night to relax, recharge and rejoice th fact that the World Series will take a few more days to complete, but then again………..Febuary is coming fast.
Uncharted waters, indeed. ..

You could not tell the way that game was going. All the advantages got a bit blurred the minute the wind picked up and was blowing into the ballpark.
No one had an advantage anymore, and the grounds crew for the Phillies had dump a ton of dry compound out on the field and it still looked like a quagmire.
Bud Selig will be questioned no matter how this turns out, but for the players' dafety and the fans comfort, it might have been a prudent and well thought out solution to the situation. We shall see in 24 hours
Rays Renegade
Thanks for commenting on my first post… I decided to post on one of your postseason entry…. It was funn a series against Rays.. Sorry u fell short, but i hated the rain in game 5 lol

Checking in on… the MACPosted by Brian Goodman on February 11th, 2011
Alex Varone is the RTC correspondent for the Mid-American Conference.
A Look Back
Could this season's Mid-American Conference champion be relegated to a Number 16 seed? It's possible, as current leader Kent State (RPI: 91) is the only team in the league with a RPI of better than 100. ESPN's Bracketology has Kent State currently penciled in the NCAA Tournament as a No. 15 seed, while Rush the Court's own Bracketology has the Golden Flashes as a No. 14 seed. What continues to hurt the MAC is not only the relative weakness of the league's top teams, but the four teams in the West Division with a RPI of over 300. Wins over those teams do nothing to help the profiles of the contenders, while a loss can do a lot of damage.
ESPN's annual BracketBusters event is back for another year, and the MAC is heavily involved.
- 2/18 – Kent State at Drexel [16-8 (8-6 CAA)] (ESPNU)
- 2/19 – Miami (Ohio) at James Madison [18-8 (8-6 CAA)]
- 2/19 – Buffalo vs. Wisconsin-Milwaukee [13-11 (8-5 Horizon)]
- 2/19 – Bowling Green at Youngstown State [8-16 (2-12 Ohio Valley)]
- 2/19 – Ball State at Wofford [13-12 (10-4 Southern)]
- 2/19 – Akron vs. Creighton [15-11 (7-7 Missouri Valley)]
- 2/19 – Western Michigan vs. Illinois State [11-14 (3-11 Missouri Valley)]
- 2/19 – Ohio at Winthrop [11-12 (7-6 Big South)]
- 2/19 – Northern Illinois vs. Seattle [9-15 Independents]
- 2/19 – Central Michigan at Niagara [5-20 (2-11 MAAC)]
- 2/19 – Eastern Michigan vs. Jacksonville State [5-20 (3-11 Ohio Valley)]
- 2/19 – Toledo vs. Eastern Illinois [8-15 (4-9 Ohio Valley)]
The BracketBusters don't figure to have too much of an effect on the conference's NCAA Tournament hopes, as the MAC is going to be a one-bid league regardless. But a few victories could do some good for the league's RPI woes. Current league leader Kent State gets the only televised game, but Miami (Ohio) has a tough road test at James Madison, and West leader Ball State has an intriguing game at defending Southern Conference champion Wofford.
Star Watch: There hasn't been much written about Bowling Green in this space this season. The Falcons entered 2010-11 coming off a losing season and featured a roster seemingly devoid of star talent. A 1-8 start was little cause for optimism but Bowling Green has since turned things around, winning 11 of its last 15 games and as of this writing, are only a half-game out of first-place in the MAC East standings at 7-3. A big reason for that turnaround has been the stellar play of sophomore forward A'uston Calhoun. Over that 1-8 start, Calhoun only averaged 6.4 points and 3.8 rebounds per game, but in the last 15 games, he's averaged 14.5 points and 6.1 rebounds per contest to up his season numbers to 11.5 points and 5.3 rebounds to solidify his position as Bowling Green's number two scorer and rebounder.
Power Rankings (last week's ranking in parentheses)
1. Kent State (2)
After a brief hiatus, Kent State is back at the top of the Power Rankings after rolling off five consecutive victories. After a 13-point road win at then-undefeated Ball State, the Golden Flashes feasted on the easiest portion of their schedule, piling up home victories over Toledo, Central Michigan, and Eastern Michigan, the three bottom-feeders of the MAC. Up next, however, is the most grueling portion of Kent State's schedule, which features four straight road games, including a pivotal East Division showdown at Miami (Ohio) and a BracketBuster at Drexel.
A Look Ahead: 2/12 at Northern Illinois, 2/16 at Miami (Ohio), 2/18 at Drexel (ESPNU), 2/21 at Western Michigan, 2/24 vs. Buffalo
2. Miami (Ohio) (4)
Right on Kent State's heels in the East is Miami (Ohio), winners of its last three games after suffering a tough overtime loss at home against Western Michigan. The current win streak hasn't come easy, though, as the RedHawks had to rally from nine points down in the second half against Ball State before exploding to a 14-point win. And on the road at Eastern Michigan, Miami trailed by as many as 20 points in the second half before escaping with a two-point victory.
A Look Ahead: 2/12 at Toledo, 2/16 vs. Kent State, 2/19 at James Madison, 2/23 at Akron
3. Buffalo (3)
Buffalo continues to play impressive ball of late, with its only loss in eight games being a recent one-point defeat at Ball State. That loss has continued a season-long trend of near-misses for the Bulls, who have lost five games by four points or less this year. But Buffalo has showed remarkable efficiency on both the offensive and defensive ends this season, and is currently the highest rated team in the MAC, according to Ken Pomeroy's highly-regarded rankings.
A Look Ahead: 2/12 at Eastern Michigan, 2/15 vs. Ohio, 2/19 vs. UW-Milwaukee, 2/24 at Kent State
4. Bowling Green (5)
Bowling Green completes the current four-team logjam at the top of the MAC East standings. Unlike their divisional mates, however, the Falcons can't be looked at as a particularly efficient team, ranking just 279th in the nation in KenPom's adjusted offensive efficiency and 164th in adjusted defensive efficiency. So how is Bowling Green sitting at 7-3? The emergence of A'uston Calhoun (see above) bears repeating, and the Falcons have shown a propensity for winning the close game, with five of those seven conference wins being by two possessions or less.
A Look Ahead: 2/12 at Central Michigan, 2/15 vs. Akron, 2/19 at Youngstown State, 2/23 at Ohio
5. Ball State (1)
The 13-4 (5-0) start seems like a long time ago, doesn't it? Seemingly out of nowhere, Ball State has hit the wall, dropping four out of five, with the only win being a one-point squeaker over Buffalo. The Cardinals are still in good position in the weak West Division, but the trio of Jarrod Jones, Randy Davis, and Jauwan Scaife need to get back to their consistent play of the early season in order for Ball State to re-emerge as a league title contender.
A Look Ahead: 2/12 at Akron, 2/15 vs. Toledo, 2/19 at Wofford, 2/23 vs. Eastern Michigan
6. Akron (6)
Last week's loss at Eastern Michigan was the latest confounding performance from Akron, which is surprisingly tied for last place in the East despite not having lost a conference game by more than nine points. The schedule gets much tougher over the coming weeks, as the Zips still have one more game against each of the five teams ahead of them in these Power Rankings, in addition to a difficult BracketBuster game against Creighton.
A Look Ahead: 2/12 vs. Ball State, 2/15 at Bowling Green, 2/19 vs. Creighton, 2/23 vs. Miami (Ohio)
7. Western Michigan (7)
A pair of impressive road wins at Miami (in overtime) and Bowling Green, combined with Ball State's collapse, has opened the door for Western Michigan in the West Division. Junior guard Demetrius Ward has been the offensive catalyst lately, scoring at least 15 points in six consecutive games, while freshman Juwan Howard Jr. has contributed some impressive performances, including a 20 point, 10 rebound effort in the win at Bowling Green.
A Look Ahead: 2/12 vs. Ohio, 2/15 at Northern Illinois, 2/19 vs. Illinois State, 2/21 vs. Kent State, 2/23 vs. Toledo
8. Ohio (8)
For all the talk earlier in the season about Ohio's one-man show in D.J. Cooper, the Bobcats now have four players (Cooper, DeVaughn Washington, Tommy Freeman, & Ivo Baltic) averaging double-figures on the season. Baltic could be the key to Ohio making a late regular season run if the sophomore forward continues to put up 31 point, 9 rebound performances like he did in the win against Northern Illinois.
A Look Ahead: 2/12 at Western Michigan, 2/15 at Buffalo, 2/19 at Winthrop, 2/23 vs. Bowling Green
9. Northern Illinois (9)
This week's game against Kent State will wrap up Northern Illinois's six-game stretch against East Division foes, in which the Huskies have gone just 1-4 so far, with the only win coming against Akron at home. Northern Illinois will get one more chance to turn its season around over the next few weeks, with five of its next six games at home, including four straight.
A Look Ahead: 2/12 vs. Kent State, 2/15 vs. Western Michigan, 2/19 vs. Seattle, 2/23 vs. Central Michigan
10. Central Michigan (10)
Like Northern Illinois, Central Michigan is wrapping up a six-game East stretch with this week's contest against Bowling Green. As disappointing as the Chippewas have been this season, Central Michigan stands just three games behind West Division leader Ball State with six games to play. Even with two highly capable scorers in Trey Zeigler and Jalin Thomas, the Chippewas can blame their struggles on an abysmal offense which ranks 330th in the nation in Pomeroy's efficiency rankings.
A Look Ahead: 2/12 vs. Bowling Green, 2/16 vs. Eastern Michigan, 2/19 at Niagara, 2/23 at Northern Illinois
11. Eastern Michigan (11)
Eastern Michigan has been more competitive of late, defeating Akron and playing well in losses against Bowling Green, Miami, and Kent State. But at the end of the day, this is still a bad basketball team that relies exclusively on the night-in, night-out strong performances of Brandon Bowdry. Although he doesn't provide the scoring punch to complement Bowdry that the Eagles so desperately need, sophomore Jamell Harris (2.3 blocks per game) has provided a solid defensive presence.
A Look Ahead: 2/12 vs. Buffalo, 2/16 at Central Michigan, 2/19 vs. Jacksonville State, 2/23 at Ball State
12. Toledo (12)
Will Toledo win another conference game this season? If so, don't expect it to be on the road, as the Rockets have now lost 42 straight contests away from home. Toledo still has three conference home games left, and at home, Toledo has been a much more competitive team, defeating Valparaiso (RPI: 56) and Western Michigan. But of their nine conference losses, only once did the Rockets lose by single digits.
A Look Ahead: 2/12 vs. Miami (Ohio), 2/15 at Ball State, 2/19 vs. Eastern Illinois, 2/23 at Western Michigan

What is a DLL?
Your operating system comes pre-installed with Microsoft DLL's and most third party programs also install DLL's.
DLL (Dynamic Link Library) is Microsoft's implementation of the shared library concept. Meaning there's a DLL library on your computer and each DLL can be shared among different Microsoft and third party programs. This shared library method helps your computer run faster by having fewer operations running at the same time.
When a DLL is missing or corrupt it may show an error message and programs may fail or crash.
Because DLL's are shared, one missing or corrupt DLL may affect multiple programs on your computer.

Article of the Month
Charitable Gifts of Intellectual Property Assets
Intellectual property assets are intangible products or creations of the mind that may receive protection under the law. The most common types of intellectual property (IP) that a client might consider gifting to charity include copyrights, trademarks and patents. While making a charitable gift an IP asset can provide a client with tax benefits, the legal complexities that surround these types of gifts necessitate a deeper understanding of these assets prior to making a charitable transfer. As such, it is crucial that advisors have a firm grasp on how these gifts operate in order to best serve their clients' needs and objectives.
This article will explain the basic rules surrounding charitable gifts of IP assets and the opportunities that exist for IP asset owners. It will shed light on the tax benefits associated with charitable gifts of IP and identify practical issues for clients who are considering charitable transfers of IP assets. By understanding the rules and nuances that apply to charitable gifts of IP assets, advisors will be better equipped to guide clients in the right direction and accomplish their goals in a tax-efficient manner.
A copyright is an intangible property right that protects original works, including literary, artistic, dramatic, pictorial, graphic, audio, sculptural, audio-visual and architectural works. The owner of a copyright has the exclusive right to reproduce the copyrighted work, to prepare derivative works, to distribute copies of the copyrighted work for sale or lease, to perform the copyrighted work publicly or to publicly display the copyrighted work. A copyright is a property right that is separate from the copyrighted work. For example, an individual might own the copyright to a manuscript and a different person may own the manuscript itself.
A trademark is a word, phrase, symbol or design that is used to identify a maker of a commodity offered for sale. Common examples include company names, logos, taglines and product names. However, a trademark could also be a particular shape, sound, color or scent that is used to identify or distinguish a particular commodity. A trademark can be registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). Both registered and unregistered trademarks reflect the right to legitimate use of the mark, but only a registered trademark gives the owner the exclusive right to use the mark nationwide on, or in connection with, the goods and/or services listed in the registration.
A patent is an intangible property right that protects an invention. The owner of a patent has the right to exclude others from making, using or selling the patented invention for a number of years. In the United States, the USPTO grants patents to inventors after the inventor publicly discloses the invention by filing a patent application. The most common type of patent is a utility patent, which is granted to an individual who discovers or invents "any new and useful process, machine, article of manufacture or composition of matter, or any new and useful improvement thereof." 35 U.S.C. Sec. 101.
A donor who makes a charitable gift of an IP asset is entitled to a deduction that is equal to the lesser of the property's basis or fair market value. IP assets are considered capital assets if the taxpayer purchased or inherited the asset. As such, the deduction for charitable gifts of IP assets will be limited to 30% of the donor's adjusted gross income (AGI) in the year of the gift with the excess carried forward up to five additional years.
After the gift is made, the donor may be able to claim additional deductions based on the income produced by the IP asset. Under Sec. 170(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, the donor may be entitled to additional deductions for the percentage of qualified donee income (QDI) derived by the charity from the IP asset. QDI includes any net income received by or accrued to the charity allocable to the IP itself, including royalties or other net income. I.R.C. Sec. 170(m)(3). The deductions may be taken for up to 10 years. Sec. 170(m)(5).
In order to take advantage of these additional deductions, the donor must provide written notice to the charity at the time of the contribution that the gift is to be treated as a qualified intellectual property contribution for purposes of Sec.170(m)(5) and Sec. 6050L. Sec. 170(m)(8)(b). Each year, the charity will be required to report the amount of qualified donee income (QDI) on Form 8899, Notice of Income from Donated Intellectual Property.
The amount of the QDI deductions is determined on a sliding percentage scale basis and is limited to 10 years beginning on the date of the contribution. The deduction is only available for QDI in excess of the donor's original deduction. The deduction amount starts at 100% of the QDI in excess of the donor's original deduction in year 1 and declines to 20% by year 10. Sec. 170(m)(7).
|Tax Year
|Deductible Percentage
Example 1:
Rose invented and obtained a patent for a state-of-the-art inflatable life raft that, despite its compact size, is able to carry twice the number of people as current inflatable models. Her $100,000 cost basis consists of development costs, including material and labor. Experts predict there will be high demand for Rose's patented device and assign a fair market value of $1,000,000 to the patent and device. Rose would like to make a gift of the patent and her rights to the life raft to her favorite charity. Her advisor informs her that, pursuant to Sec. 170(m), the patent is qualified intellectual property and, therefore, eligible for additional deductions after the gift. In order to receive these benefits, Rose's advisor assists her in putting together written notice to her favorite charity of her intention to treat the gift as a qualified intellectual property contribution.
In the year of her gift, Rose will claim a basis deduction of $100,000. The charity, in return, licenses the patent to a manufacturer. Two years later, her favorite charity is beginning to receive substantial royalties. Because the income is derived from the patent, Rose can claim additional charitable deductions. The patent earns $500,000 in year two, which exceeds her original deduction by $400,000. As such, the patent has produced $400,000 of QDI. Assuming that, following year two, the patent produces $100,000 of QDI each year, her deductions will be as follows:
|Deductible %
|Deduction Amount
The charity will be required to file Form 8899 each year to report the amount of QDI to the IRS and provide a copy to Rose to substantiate her deduction.
Copyrights are not considered capital assets if they are owned by the individual who created the copyrighted property or received by an individual as a gift from the creator of the copyrighted property during life (i.e., someone who has received a "carry-over basis" from the creator). Sec. 1221(a)(3); Reg. 1.1221-1(c)(1). As such, these copyright gifts will be subject to the 50% (rather than 30%) AGI deduction limitation. Charitable deductions for gifts of copyrights held by a donor whose personal efforts created the property, or who has received a carry-over basis, will be limited to cost basis.
In addition, gifts of copyrights held by the creator (or a donor who received a carry-over basis from the creator) are not considered qualified intellectual property for purposes of additional QDI deductions under Sec. 170(m). As such, any royalties or net income received by the charity derived from the copyright cannot be deducted by the donor in future years.
Example 2:Recall that, whether the owner of a copyright can deduct QDI will depend on if the copyright is considered qualified intellectual property under Sec. 170(m). If the donor receives the copyright interest as a gift from the creator of the copyrighted work during life, then the donor will have a carry-over basis from the creator and, therefore, will not be able to deduct QDI. If, on the other hand, the donor inherited the copyright after the death of the creator, then the donor will not have a carry-over basis and will be able to deduct QDI.
Jack is an author of a copyrighted novel. He wants to gift his copyright and his novel to his favorite charity. Jack spent approximately $1,000 on legal fees and costs associated with registering and maintaining his copyright. Because he is the creator of the copyrighted work, his charitable income tax deduction for his gift will be limited to his basis, which in this instance is $1,000. Jack will not be able to claim deductions in future years for royalties that the charity derives from the novel. This is because the copyright is not qualified intellectual property since it was created through the personal efforts of Jack. As such, the total deduction that Jack will be able to claim is $1,000.
Example 3:
Many years later after authoring numerous best-sellers Jack gifted one of his manuscripts (manuscript A) and its copyright to his cousin Molly. He also executed his will and provided that his brother, Fabrizo, would receive a manuscript (manuscript B) and its copyright upon Jack's death. Five years after Jack's death, Molly and Fabrizo decide to make charitable gifts of their manuscripts to Jack's favorite charity in his honor. Jack's original cost basis for both manuscripts was $1,000. Upon his death, the fair market value of each manuscript was $250,000.
Because Molly received the gift during Jack's life, her basis is Jack's original basis of $1,000. Therefore, she would receive a $1,000 deduction for her charitable gift. Because she has a carry-over basis from the manuscript's original creator, she will not be able to claim QDI deductions for future royalties received by the charity.
Because Fabrizo inherited the copyright and copyrighted work after Jack's death, his basis is equal to the fair market value of the copyright at Jack's death. Therefore, he will receive a $250,000 basis deduction for his charitable gift. In addition, because he does not have a carry-over basis, the copyright is qualified intellectual property. Therefore, Fabrizo will be able to deduct future royalties received by the charity as QDI.
Under Sec. 170(f)(3), a charitable deduction will not be allowed where a donor transfers less than his or her entire interest in the property. The partial interest rule may arise in a variety of circumstances related to gifts of IP assets. For example, a donor who owns both a copyright and the underlying copyrighted material cannot claim a charitable deduction if the donor gifts the copyright only and retains the copyrighted asset. The donor who owns both the copyright and copyrighted material must make gifts of both interests to claim a charitable deduction. If, however, the donor only owns the copyright and not the copyrighted work, then he or she could make a charitable gift of the copyright alone and receive a charitable deduction, since the copyright in that instance is the donor's entire interest in the property.
The partial interest rules also dictate that a donor cannot hold onto certain rights related to the IP asset. For example, a donor cannot make a charitable gift of a patent while retaining the right to manufacture the patented product. Nor could a donor make a gift of a trademark to charity but retain the right to prescribe the standard of quality of products or services sold under that trademark. In both instances, the donor would be giving a nondeductible partial interest in the IP asset.
Generally, a charitable gift of property over $5,000 in value will require a qualified appraisal. Reg.1.170A-13(c). However, donations of intellectual property are excluded from this requirement. See IRS Pub. 561 and IRS Form 8283 Instructions. The value of the IP gift will still need to be determined and recorded on Form 8283. As such, the question becomes: how is the value of the IP asset determined?
Typically, the charity will consult an intellectual property valuation professional. Most often, the valuator will determine the IP's fair market value by using an income-based approach. This method forecasts future financial earnings results based on historical financial data, market trends and comparable income for similar assets. Taking these, and other data, into consideration, the valuator will forecast the present value of the IP asset's future income in determining the fair market value of the IP asset.
Under Sec. 511, the unrelated business income of an exempt organization is subject to tax. Unrelated business taxable income is defined as the gross income derived by any organization from any "unrelated trade or business" regularly carried on by the organization, less the allowable deductions directly connected with the conduct of that trade or business. Sec. 512(a)(1). In the context of IP assets, the question arises whether income produced by a donated IP asset is classified as unrelated business income.
Luckily, under Sec. 512(b)(2) royalties are classified as passive income and therefore not subject to unrelated business income tax (UBIT), except to the extent that the asset is debt financed. The definition of a royalty is exceedingly broad and extends to virtually all payments for the right to use intellectual property. Sec. 1.512(b)-1(b).
Charitable organizations should be cautious, however, before involving themselves in the IP's underlying trade or business. While receipt of passive royalty income is excluded from UBIT, actively participating in, and performing services for, an unrelated trade or business is not. Thus, if income can be traced to services performed, rather than the royalty income, the charity could be opening itself up to risk and potential UBIT consequences. Sierra Club, Inc. v. Commissioner, 86 F.3d 1526 (9th Cir. 1996). As such, organizations should exercise caution when executing royalty agreements in connection to donated IP assets.
While a charitable gift of an IP asset can be an effective way to secure tax benefits and accomplish a client's charitable goals, IP owners and their advisors should work together to ensure that the charitable transfer is accomplished in a tax-efficient manner in order to avoid potential issues that can arise. IP owners and their advisors should consider the value of the owners' cost basis relative to the IP asset's fair market value, as well as the estimated value and timing of the asset's revenue stream in future years. These considerations will help the client to arrive at a charitable strategy that will meet personal and financial objectives. While there are many complexities in this area, charitable gifts of IP assets should not be overlooked, as the benefits and opportunities associated with these gifts can often outweigh potential hurdles in the planning process.
