CHARLOTTE, N.C. — NASCAR chairman Brian France has said for the past few years that he wants more emphasis on drivers trying to win races.
He got his wish Thursday by implementing one of the most drastic changes the sport has seen to its Sprint Cup Series and the way it determines its champion.
MORE: Brilliant idea or PR ploy? | No discount on Junior sponsors | Don't blame Jimmie
In a move that overhauls the 10-year-old Chase for the Sprint Cup , NASCAR announced sweeping changes that forces drivers to win races to make and advance in the Chase and that will guarantee that four drivers will have an equal chance to win the Sprint Cup title in the season's final race.
|The changes
|Race winners automatically make Chase field
|Field expands to 16 drivers, including points leader
|Points used as tiebreaker if more than 16
|Points reset to start Chase; winners get three bonus points
|Field reset after Chase race three, six and nine
|Competitors will be eliminated during Chase
|Final four will compete for title at season's final race
|Highest finisher among those at Homestead wins Cup
"This will make every race matter, produce compelling competition and award a worthy champion," France said.
"You've got to admire NASCAR. This took guts, this is a big deal," team owner Joe Gibbs said. "You've to admire their courage. They went throughout all the scenarios ... and I think they have done their homework."
The new Chase rules are the most drastic changes NASCAR has made since it implemented the Chase in 2004. Since then it has tweaked the Chase format, expanding the field and adding two wild-card drivers, and changed its points system in recent years, but this is a major move that could change the way drivers and teams race each week and set the sport up for a dramatic Game 7 moment in the season's final race.
NASCAR will increase the number of drivers in the Chase from 12 to 16. Instead of points being the primary way drivers make the Chase, all race winners during the 26-race regular season will make the Chase. If there are more than 16 winners, ties would be broken by points. If there are fewer than 16, the drivers without a win but highest in the points standings would advance to the Chase. The points leader at the end of the regular season also would be guaranteed a spot in the Chase, regardless of whether or not he wins.
France said NASCAR is making the changes for three reasons: To place a greater emphasis on winning races; to make the championship format simpler and easier to understand; and to put more drivers in the Chase.
The 10-race Chase also will have more of a playoff format and feel.

The 16 drivers who advance will have their points reset after the regular season, with drivers still earning three bonus points for each race win.
The Chase will be broken into four rounds: three three-race segments, followed by the season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
Four drivers will be eliminated after each round. If a driver wins a race during a three-race segment, that driver automatically qualifies for the next round, even if he is among the four worst in points. Points will be reset again after each round so all drivers enter the next round on equal footing.

The first round will be the Challenger Round, with 12 drivers advancing and four being eliminated. The next round will be the Contenders Round, with eight drivers advancing and four more being eliminted. The third round will be the Elimination Round, with four drivers advancing to the season finale and four more being eliminated.
The drivers that are eliminated in each round will continue to race for points, but can finish no higher than fifth in the final standings.
The season finale will feature the top four drivers battling for the championship in a winner-take-all event. The driver that finishes highest in the final race will win the Sprint Cup championship, collecting of bonus of more than $5 million. The Homestead race, as all others, will have a full field of 43 cars.
"The final race will settle it," France said. "The first of the four to cross the finish line. That's as simple as it gets.
"This will reward winners and elevate every race on the schedule. It will be thrilling and easy to understand."
The new format no longer favors consistency, which has been a staple of the championship formula for decades, and puts a huge emphasis on winning. It will favor drivers and teams that win the most races and also perhaps forces drivers and teams to gamble more to win races.
Joe Gibbs Racing cars won the most races last season (12); Hendrick Motorsports won nine. JGR's Matt Kenseth led the series with seven wins, while six-time champion Jimmie Johnson of Hendrick won six and the Chase title.
"Obviously, there is a big emphasis on wins, and I do think that kinda fits us because we typically win a lot of races," Gibbs said. "... I think our guys feel like that they can win, so I think that kinda fits our team."
France said NASCAR not only wanted to place more emphasis on winning, but also de-emphasize points racing. He said the new system ensures that "the best team doesn't cruise into the championship race.
"It ensures that they try to win the race and compete really hard at Homestead," he said.
France said NASCAR has had extensive input from fans about the Chase and the proposed changes. He said the new system appeals to avid fans "because they don't care for points racing," and to the casual fan "because they don't understand points racing."
"This clears all that off and emphasizes winning," he said. "This appeals to everyone. We wouldn't be doing this if it just did a little bit of good. This checks all the boxes.
|Chase for the Sprint Cup, round by round
|Here's how the season's final 10 races will be divided as drivers vie for the series championship
|Challenger round
|Three races, 16 drivers
|Chicagoland, Sept. 14; New Hampshire, Sept. 21; Dover, Sept. 28
|Contender round
|Three races, 12 drivers
|Kansas, Oct. 5; Charlotte, Oct. 11; Talladega, Oct. 19
|Eliminator round
|Three races, eight drivers
|Martinsville, Oct. 26; Texas, Nov. 2; Phoenix, Nov. 9
|Sprint Cup championship
|One race, four drivers
|Homestead-Miami, Nov. 16
|First of the four to the finish line wins
"This forces them to compete at the highest level. It will force teams to take more risks. Riding around and being pleased because the system favors consistency, those days are pretty much over."
Asked what kind of risks NASCAR is taking with the drastic changes, France said, "The biggest risk would be not to do it. The risk would be not to check every box."
France said he believes that the changes will spark interest in the sport and possibly attract new fans. He said most fans, sponsors and partners "overwhelmingly like it."
"I'm as excited as I've ever been going into a season," he said. "This makes NASCAR more special."
Drivers had mixed feelings on the new format this week, with some praising it and others expressing uncertainty and trepidation.
Kyle Busch , for one, is not thrilled with the new system.
"The thing that is frustrating to me is our sport in racing, we have sponsors. … You want to be rewarded for what you do all through the season because those are the guys that are on your car all through the season," he said. "Now it seems like you're going to be rewarded for what you do in one race or in three races. What can you do in these three races?"
Busch, one of the sport's most consistent winners, also is not sure that the format will increase the emphasis on winning or make drivers race harder or take more chances.
"Then you have NASCAR telling you, 'Everybody is going to race differently with this new format.' OK, explain how," he said. "We race 100 percent every single race that we're out there. And they're like, 'You're going to do different fuel mileage, you're going to different strategies, you're going to do two-tire this, you're going to race differently.' I'm like, 'I don't see that happening.' We try to win every single week.
"If you can tell me that we don't want to win every single Chase race throughout the Chase, you're kidding yourself. It fries me that NASCAR in itself can tell you that you don't race hard every week. I just don't get it."

Last week, we discussed the fundamental and technical outlook for the offshore Chinese yuan (CNH) (CME:QTN14). From a fundamental perspective, we noted that "many market participants anticipate that the People's Bank of China will be forced to cut interest rates or reserve requirement ratios at some point in Q3," while on the technical side, we concluded that "the USD/CNH could pull back to test near-term support at its 50-day MA (6.2290) or the 23.6% (6.2105) or 38.2% (6.1730) Fibonacci retracements of this year's rally."
In retrospect, our timing was a bit off. Instead of waiting for the start of Q3, the PBoC acted over the weekend to cut reserve requirement ratios for small business and rural banks as my colleague Chris Tedder noted earlier today.
However, this partial cut actually makes a full RRR cut less likely in the near-term as the Chinese government sticks to its path of piecemeal steps to ease economic conditions, rather than the bold measures of years past. As a result, the USD/CNH actually fell on the announcement, painting a very bearish short-term technical picture.
Assuming today's move below 6.2180 is maintained, the pair will complete a classic double top pattern over the last five weeks. After the quadruple bearish divergence with its RSI indicator, this pattern strengthens the likelihood of a meaningful top in the pair and may finally put an end to the persistent yuan weakness that has characterized 2014 thus far. The downward trend in the MACD indicator further bolsters the bearish case.
From here, a move down toward the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement at 6.1730 is favored; this level also represents the measured move target of the double top pattern. A break below there could pave the way for a possible move back to the 200-day MA around 6.1250 later this summer. On the other hand, a recover back above the 50-day MA at 6.2330 would shift the near-term bias back to neutral.

Long-Term Updates - July 2013Posted in How To on July 26, 2013
Go Ahead—Ask Us!
What do you want to know about? Is there something we tried out in the pages of this magazine that you would like to know more about? Send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com and we'll make sure we get you an answer.
Hoses with Steel Coils
When we pulled our radiator hoses off the radiator to replace them (good measure to do at least every couple years, even if you don't drive the vehicle often), we found the entire steel coil of the upper radiator hose stuffed inside the inlet of the radiator. Steel coils are put in radiator hoses to keep them from collapsing during pressure changes within the closed cooling system. If you need a steel coil–equipped hose, try to use one with the coil molded into the rubber instead of just shoved inside the hose. That way there is no chance of the coil slipping out of the hose.
Kanati Mud Hog Tire/Dick Cepek DC-2 Combo
The initial test of this tire focused on mud performance, and the Mud Hogs fared well in the goo as their name suggests. After we got out of the mud pit (and spent 20-plus hours cleaning up), we put the Mud Hogs through the paces of pavement, sand, dirt, and rocks. The additional miles served to nail the point home: This is a great all-around tire that leans toward the aggressive side. No knobs chunked, and we found on-road noise was audible yet acceptable. Fuel economy dipped by about 1 mpg compared to an all-terrain tread, something we've seen before when going from an all-terrain tread to a mud tire. It's not a sand tire, yet sand performance was also impressive. We aired down to about 25 psi in the sand. We ran at 40 psi on the street. Tread life seems good, but our results are a bit skewed as we were running an automatic locker in the rear differential, something that burns up tires quickly on the pavement. We called the initial story "Batting 1,000" and there's no reason to change that assessment. The only problem with Kanati Mud Hog Tires (made by Greenball Corp.) is that not enough people know about them.
Dick Cepek's DC-2 wheel was a great match for the Mud Hogs. There was ample brake caliper clearance, something that's not always a given on today's modern trucks. Those who need TPMS compatibility will be happy to know that the DC-2 is air-sensor friendly. The DC-2 has a weather-resistant coating, keeping the DC-2's looking good without requiring the maintenance that an uncoated polished wheel demands.

New York-based MC Angel Haze has already been turning hip-hop heads for a while, and her recently released Reservation EP is bound to garner the mega-star attention this young talent deserves. Just 21 years old, Haze was raised in a conservative Christian community that she compares to a cult before she and her mother left when she was 10 years old. While from Michigan originally, Haze lived in Long Beach and New Jersey, as well, before making New York her own. Her signature track, "I Run New York," is both an ode to her adopted city and a mission-statement: She runs NYC. Pretty soon she'll run hip-hop.
Themes of her mercurial identity run through her work; the title of Reservation is partly a play on her Native American heritage, and her rhymes are reminiscent of the technically gifted East Coast rappers of the past, though she says she was most inspired by Eminem. Her style, like her rhymes, is both dark and confrontational. She favors jeans and sneakers — utilitarian clothes you could actually see her rapping in comfortably, or possibly fighting in, or running. She looks glamorous and dangerous at the same time.

Casino Royale 2006
Our friends on the left have a particularly view of gun owners, best represented by this clip from the Movie Highlander and the character played by Christopher Malcolm:
This is the perfect image to them, to them, the crazy ex-vet, white, disturbed, just waiting for the moment to crack.
The absurdity of the argument comes from the lack of violence from all those folks that the Journal News is so anxious to pinpoint as a public service, but let's play that game for a moment.
For the sake of this post, I'll stipulate it's all true; Gun owners are dangerous and we of the right who oppose Barack Obama and gun control are a bunch of violent, heavily armed racist rednecks just waiting for a Glenn Beck or the NRA to give word turning us loose for an orgy of annihilation on an unsuspecting public, particularly women, blacks and gays.
If this is true, even a little bit, is it wise to provoke us with moves like this:
President Obama on Sunday said he would make gun control a priority in his new term, pledging to put his "full weight" behind passing new restrictions on firearms in 2013.
"I'm going to be putting forward a package and I'm going to be putting my full weight behind it,"
Given as stipulated the vast majority of the right is one step away from the cliff of slaughter, might saying: "Next year we've coming for your guns" less than two weeks after Andrew Cuomo said "Confiscation could be an option", be the push to send a bunch of heavily armed Chick-Fil-A eating psychopaths over the edge?
It's gasoline on a fire ready to engulf the country in flames with only the police, the army and power of the presidency to hold back the impending holocaust of good and decent Obama voters.
Liberals, be afraid, be VERY afraid…
…the rest of us will be out and about living our lives, pointing at you and laughing.
Note: By an odd coincidence my emergency bleg is still ongoing. Any help is appreciated, and for those liberals suffering from the paranoia I've just described, let me remind you everybody knows when dealing with dangerous Sicilians a cash tribute is prudent.

You know your parody worked brilliantly when someone -- ideally a big someone -- doesn't have a clue that it's a parody.
The Onion did not, in Lincoln's phrase, fool all of the people all of the time. But it evidently fooled more than a quarter of a billion people for some of the time -- the subscribers and Web readers of China's Communist Party newspaper, the People's Daily, with more than 3 million subscribers worldwide and tens of millions of daily hits to its website.
This organ of well-scrubbed "information" reported as sober fact the Onion's parody of People magazine's "sexiest person alive" listing of North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un as its own sexiest man alive.
To quote the Onion about the hottest dictator on Earth: "With his devastatingly handsome, round face, his boyish charm, and his strong, sturdy frame, this Pyongyang-bred heartthrob is every woman's dream come true. Blessed with an air of power that masks an unmistakable cute, cuddly side, Kim made this newspaper's editorial board swoon with his impeccable fashion sense, chic short hairstyle, and, of course, that famous smile." The Onion added Kim to the ranks of previous "sexiest" winners, among them Unabomber Ted Kaczynski and Ponzi fraudster Bernie Madoff.

Mayor Nutter said Friday that he would put more police on street patrol and make sure they enforce curfews for young people in an effort to prevent crimes caused by children and teens randomly attacking people in the city.
"To the few who think they can get away with acting violently and disrespecting our city, you will be caught, and there are serious consequences," Nutter said in a news release.
The city's current curfew law says children under the age of 13 must be home by 10 p.m., and young people between the ages of 13 and 18 must be home by midnight.

-A white T-shirt
-Two colors of fabric paint
-Two foam brushes
-Masking tape
-A ruler
-A piece of cardboard
Slide the cardboard inside the T-shirt.
Tape around the neck of the shirt and the sleeve seams to protect these areas from paint.
Lay the ruler horizontally across the bottom of the shirt. Apply tape lines from the center of the collar to where the ruler meets the edge of the shirt on each side. The ruler will help to keep the angled tape even!
Using the first tape lines as guides, add more lines across the shirt. Keep them parallel and straight to create a diamond pattern.
Tape a horizontal line across the bottom diamond of the pattern, halving it into a triangle shape.
Dip the brush into the first color of paint, and paint inside the edges of the diamonds in a dabbing motion.
Fill in the insides of the diamonds with paint.
When the paint is dry, remove the bottom horizontal piece of tape. Add small vertical strips of tape below the diamond pattern, as well as a clean piece of horizontal tape, to create a row of rectangles at the bottom of the shirt.
Fill in these shapes with the second color of paint, again in a dabbing motion.
Once the paint is fully dry, remove all the tape to see your design. Follow the instructions on your paint and heat set if necessary.

Free Pattern - Man Paws
I've listed the pattern that I used to create the "Wooden Paws" (Ravelry link) for my husband. Feel free to share some pics of your projects, too.
Materials Needed:
- Approx. 150 yds. of dk to worsted weight yarn (works wonderfully with handspun, too!)
- US 3 dpns or circular needles (32" in length or longer)
- US 4 circular needle (dpns are doable, too, but note that instructions are written for circs and make adjustments for yourself as needed)
- Waste yarn or stitch holder
- Yarn needle to weave in ends
- co - cast on
- st(s) - stitch(es)
- k - knit
- bo - bind off
- 2x2 rib - knit 2 stitches, purl 2 stitches, repeat around
- M1L/M1R - please refer to this site for a great tutorial video on each (scroll down to the first third and they are on either side of the page)
- decrease bind-off - please refer to a great article here on some stretchy bind offs (it's halfway down the page)
Using US 3 needles, co 44 sts. Do a 2x2 rib for 2", then switch to the US 4 needles.
K for 2".
Start increases for the thumb gusset here. On the next round, k up to the last st, M1L, k1, switch to next needle, k1, M1R, k to the end of the round. K 1 round. Continue in this manner until you have 16 increases (8 on each side of the mitt), or a total of 60 stitches. K one round. K to last 8 sts on first side of mitt, place 8 sts on holder or waste yarn, switch needles, place 8 more sts on the same holder, k to end of the round. Continue knitting the 44 sts in stockinette for 1/2".
Switch to the US3 and do a 2x2 rib for 1 1/2". Bo using a decrease bind-off or another stretchy bind-off that you really like.
Pick up the 16 sts on your st holder using the US4 needles. K for 1/2", then switch to the US3 needles. Do a 2x2 rib for 1/2". Bo using the decrease bind-off.
Use yarn needle to weave in all the ends and to help close up any remaining holes in the thumb-area. You're probably better at those than I am and don't have any, but just in case... ;)
Repeat for the second mitt, only changing the thumb increases. When beginning the increase round, k1, M1R, k to end of needle, switch needles, k to last st, M1L, k1. K one round. Repeat these two rounds until you have 16 increases. Lather, rinse and repeat all other directions.
I know that for most of us who do the simple version, the pattern will look the same on either hand, but I wanted to include the different thumb increases so that you can add patterns or texture on the backs of the hands or make any other changes you want without having to think about how to switch things around. I encourage you to add more cuff or top length as wanted, and have so much fun with it!
It really is a quick and fun knit. And what more could you ask for than a happy guy with warm hands? Enjoy!

Wooden Paws
I'm very very slowly making progress on some mitts for the special person in my life. It's not because I'm a slow knitter. It's because I need to actually knit in order to make some progress. I think that I might be purposely sabotaging any efforts that I make to finish things. If I keep starting more, I can never be finished, right? Sigh.
These mitts (well, the beginning of one mitt) are being knit out of Julie Spins BFL in her "Wood" colorway. I've spun this into a 2-ply heavy dk to light worsted weight yarn. I'm making them up as I go along, so I'll be sure to post the pattern and any tips once I finish them. I'm really liking the fabric that this yarn is making so far. Maybe that's why I'm not working on them so much - I don't want to give them up. Nah, just laziness and over-commitment. :D
Here's how the mitts started:
Gorgeous colorway, amazingly yummy yarn to spin with. What more could a knitter want? Oh, more time. Sigh.

Mis Pies Están En Miami
Handspun, finally done! :D It took me about a million months to get these done, but I've finally finished a pair of socks again! Woohoo! This is a handspun yarn, made from Squoosh Fiberarts' SW Merino in the "Crazy Tops 01" colorway, shown below.
I spun this into 364 yds. of two-ply fingering weight yummy yarn.
The socks were knit on size US 1 1/2 Addi Turbo Lace 40" circulars (one at a time). I do a provisional crochet cast-on with a short-row toe, basic stockinette foot, short-row heel, then knit for about 1/2" before starting a 3x1 rib for the cuff. The cuffs are about 6" long, finished with a decrease bind off. Finish, wear, and have fun! ;)

A Warm November Spring Day
My husband and I wanted to get out yesterday morning for some fresh air and sunshine. It has been pretty warm here the past few days so we knew that it would be a great day to go to a neighborhood park that we love. When we got there, at 10:30 a.m., it was about 70 degrees. Yes. You read that right. It ended up getting up to 80 yesterday, but the big deal to me was that it was 70 degrees at 10:30 a.m. on a fall morning. Seriously?!
We didn't do much once we got there. Aron brought his camera to take some random shots and I brought some knitting. We both brought some good reading, too. Sitting on the grass, feeling the warmth of the sun on my feet and the cool grass beneath, I just felt like I was in heaven. I kept on forgetting that it was mid-November. Seriously!
Though I didn't do a whole lot of knitting, I do have some progress pics of a project that I've been doing with the Stitch-It Podcast Listeners Group over at Ravelry. They've started the "Embrace your inner Linus: Shawl KAL" and I've picked one of my favorite yarns in my favorite colorway to make La La's Simple Shawl. I love the way that it's turning out. I can't wait to get it done, though it will take me quite a while. ;)
I'm off to go do some more selfish knitting since it's going to be gift-knitting time in a few days for me. Happy Sunday!

Spinning Mania!
Well, I just went a little bit crazy in a shop update that I've found some fabulous fiber at. At first glance, I wasn't super in love with my first braid that I got from her. Though it was pretty, I knew that she had previously done some amazing stuff. Spinning it up, I still wasn't too sure. After plying it, however, I realized that this stuff is really fabulous. She does some amazing colorways that are unique and make you think outside the box. Colors that you wouldn't think to put together suddenly glow and radiate. This simple skein of fingering-weight is so subtle in comparison to what she usually posts in her shop.
The fiber is by Juliespins and she just did a shop update. Though you couldn't tell by looking at her stock since it sells out in mere seconds. ;)
4.4 oz. of Superwash Merino Handpainted Roving in "Jungle" colorway (she does a new version of that colorway in almost every shop update - I'll show you my next one ;). This was spun into approximately 400+ yds. of two-ply fingering weight. Super fun socks, that's my guess! :D

The average home contains over 1,500 hazardous compounds. Over 150 chemicals found in the average home have been linked to allergies, birth defects, cancer and psychological abnormalities. (Source: Healthy Child Healthy World)
Instead of bringing toxic chemicals into your homes to clean, you can easily buy greener options or even make your own. You'll be saving money, improving the health of your home and doing something good for the environment.
Here are some of my favorite cleaning recipes:
Tub and tile cleaner: Use half a lemon with a sprinkle of baking soda on it to scrub your tub and tiles. Also to clean sinks and counter tops.
Oven cleaner: Sprinkle baking soda in your oven and spray it with water, making it into a paste. Let it sit, periodically spraying it when it dries. Then wipe off. Your oven will be sparkling clean without the toxic fumes.
Window cleaner: Fill a spray bottle with water and ¼ cup white vinegar. Use a soft cloth or newspaper to wipe.
Here are some more favorites provided by Jennifer Taggart, The Smart Mama:
Garbage disposal or snow cone machine cleaner: Make vinegar ice cubes. Put 1 cup distilled white vinegar in an ice cube tray, fill the balance with water and freeze. Once frozen, drop a couple down the disposal (or put in the snow cone machine), run it and voila! The vinegar helps disinfect and the ice helps remove any food stuck on the blades.
Microwave cleaner: Use lemon slices. Place some in a microwave safe cup or bowl with 6 ounces or so of water. Heat on high for 3 minutes, let sit for 3 minutes (without opening the door), and then open and wipe clean.

Marketing and Sales Alignment – Easier Than You Think
There was a time, and perhaps you're still living in it, where marketing is expected to drive sales leads, conversations, magically help close deals, and all sorts of expectations a marketing team can never meet. This period exists because there is a misalignment in those expectations of what marketing should do and what sales should do. I like to start with the basics. Is your company providing a product or service? Is it easy to sell? Is it cheap? Do your customers buy once?

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Burbank) praised President Obama's announcement Wednesday of a wide-ranging plan to increase gun controls in the wake of several high profile mass shootings.
The plan, unveiled at the White House Wednesday, includes a new push to ban assault weapons, impose a 10-round limit on ammunition magazines, and expand background checks for gun purchasers, the L.A. Times reported.
It also includes 23 separate actions he can take unilaterally, including authorizing research on gun violence and nominating a full-time director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
In a statement issued shortly after the announcement, Schiff called the set of proposals "reasonable" and said he was looking forward to moving gun violence prevention legislation through Congress.
"The president articulated a reasonable set of proposals – both through executive order and Congressional action – that will keep guns out of the hands of criminals and the mentally ill, while respecting the right of law-abiding Americans to own a gun," Schiff said.
A member of the House Gun Violence Task Force formed after the Newton, Conn. mass shooting, pointed to his announcement on Monday that he will be introducing legislation to roll back immunity guarantees for gun manufacturers and sellers involved in civil negligence and liability cases.
The administration proposals face an uphill climb in Congress, particularly the Republican-controlled House. The National Rifle Assn. has also taken issue with many of the proposals included in the plan.

Rensselaer Professors Dordick and Interrante Named ACS Fellows
Two Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute professors have been named 2010 fellows of the American Chemical Society (ACS). Director of the Center for Biotechnology and Interdisciplinary Studies (CBIS) and the Howard P. Isermann '42 Professor of Chemical and Biological Engineering Jonathan Dordick and Professor Emeritus of Chemistry Leonard Interrante were both recognized by the ACS for their "outstanding achievements in and contributions to the science, the profession, and service to the society."
"Both of these esteemed researchers and educators have had a major impact on their fields," said Rensselaer Provost Robert Palazzo. "Dr. Dordick is among the foremost biocatalysis and bioengineering experts in the world. His recent discovery of antibacterial coatings could protect thousands of people from harmful bacterial infections and his work to develop biochip technologies is transforming the way we view the modern drug discovery process.
"Dr. Interrante is both a polymer pioneer and successful entrepreneur. He has developed sophisticated new materials utilized in technologies around the world, including the Hubble Space Telescope. His pure silicon carbide-forming polymer is the only of its kind commercially available in the world, paving the way for an entirely new generation of high-temperature, high-strength ceramic composites."
The ACS honored the new fellows at the society's fall national meeting.
Dordick's research interests are in the areas of biocatalysis, bioengineering, and nanobiotechnology. He most recently developed a nanoscale coating for surgical equipment, hospital walls, and other surfaces that safely eradicates methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). He has also discovered a biochip that could eliminate animal testing in the chemicals and cosmetics industries, and drastically curtail its use in the development of new pharmaceuticals. The co-founder of EnzyMed Inc., a pharmaceutical discovery company, he is currently a co-founder of Solidus Biosciences, a venture-stage biotechnology company. In addition, he serves on the scientific advisory boards for several biotechnology companies and has served as chair of the division of biochemical technology for the ACS.
Dordick joined the Rensselaer faculty in 1998. He became director of CBIS in 2008. He is a fellow of both the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering and the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS).
Dordick received his doctorate in biochemical engineering in 1986 from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Interrante's research encompasses a wide range of subjects in materials chemistry. His works spans the study of both inorganic and organic polymers to the development of new, advanced materials. His ceramic and ceramic composite materials have broad applications for aerospace, industrial, and energy generation applications. His development of the pure silicon carbide forming polymer enables the processing of high-temperature, high-strength ceramic composites. The polymer helped him co-found Starfire Systems Inc., a high-tech advanced materials manufacturer that started at Rensselaer. His research is utilized in areas from aerospace to motorcycles.
Interrante joined Rensselaer in 1985. He is founding and current editor-in-chief of the ACS journal Chemistry of Materials. Before coming to Rensselaer, Interrante spent 17 years at the General Electric Research and Development Center. He is a fellow of the AAAS and was named Inventor of the Year in 2007 by Eastern New York Intellectual Property Law Association.
Interrante received his doctorate in inorganic chemistry from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign in 1963.

A Passion Becomes a Profession
A drawing of a cranoid
From Walter H. Bucher, Elementary Guide to the Fossils and Strata in the Vicinity of Cincinnati. (Cincinnati: The Cincinnati Museum of Natural History, 1945), p. [30].
In 1862, Borden was introduced to geology and paleontology by a Dr. Reid of Salem, who visited New Providence.
He was interested in fossils, and gave me some Actinocrinidae fossils [crinoids], which he had found at Paynter's Hill in Washington county. He explained to me the structure of the creatures, and what the term fossil meant. Seeing that I was much interested, he advised me to buy Dana's Geology. War prices prevailed then, so I paid six dollars for the book. As soon as my day's work was completed, I devoted myself to its perusal. I had no instructor, and soon became involved in a labyrinth of theories and scientific terms. With what I could glean from the pages of this book, I began field work, and studied the rocks and formations (pp. 27-28).
Borden immersed himself in the rich geological resources of southeastern Indiana. His arduous studies, extensive field work, and collaborations with experts who visited the region, brought him recognition.
In 1873, Professor E. T. Cox, the state geologist, asked him to assist in the geological surveys of Clark and Floyd counties. In 1874, he assisted in surveying Jefferson and Scott counties, and, in 1875, Ripley and Jennings counties.

Every time new consoles are on the horizon rumors and speculation hit all time highs. Everyone finds a different reason why this console maker will do this or that and for what reason. What we know so far is both Sony and Microsoft have new consoles in development which are more then likely going to launch in 2013 or 2014.
"Sony has recently announced that they are holding an event called Destination PlayStation that is primarily attended by retailers in Scottsdale, Arizona from February 25th until February 28th. The invitation are said to point directly at showcasing the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita lineup for 2013. Although speculation fueled by the timing of this event have people thinking its the time and place Sony will formally announced their much rumored PlayStation 4."
Ensuring that everyone who is in the market for a PS3 or Vita in the Spring will hold off on buying one and wait for the PS4. Makes perfect sense. Your basically proposing that Sony will shoot themselves in the foot.
I think both Microsoft and Sony's waiting game will hurt them both in some form or another. Regardless you are correct in your statement!
Waiting... what do you mean? They can't announce a new console too far ahead as it affects sales of the PS3. When they announce it will be on the big stage at E3. E3 is the single largest media event in the industry, and if they want to build hype, it will be there. PlayStation Destination is to showcase 1st and 2nd quarter titles like God of War, The Last of Us and Sly Cooper. Business keeps people's eyes on what's in the immediate future.
Best move is announce it in Februari and Showcase it at E3 and launch it in the summer to.
We wait long enough. Just launch it before the new xbox.
Both statements are valid, but February is too close for an unveil. Still, we should expect some leaks by that time.
@ blackbeld
Is Februari Italian for February?
Something Sony should consider is announcing the next PlayStation (PS4?) early Spring, showing it off with playable demos at E3, and then releasing it in August or September. That gives them first out of the gate + an option for holiday bundles a couple months after release just as initial launch hype is starting to die down.
The announcement at Destination PlayStation gives retailers and industry folk official notice of what is coming (in some form, not all details will be revealed) and then E3 is the big reveal + playable demo. Personally, the key here is playable demos for gamers/industry to experience the "next-generation" and then be able to buy it a few months later.
They announced the Vita at a special event in Feb. 2011. So, they could very well do so for the PS4/Orbis/Omni. Then show more off at GDC and then a blowout at E3. Then a launch in the Fall.
I can see it now, they debut it in Feb release it late summer early Fall with MGS5, HD version of LoU, Beyond, UC4, GTA 5, Planetside 2. It would be f**king beast!
Actualli they are announcing PS3/Vita stuff in Februari, but by E3i they can announce a PS4.
@DK286K: Sony could announce the PS4 today and MS would still fail at E3. They haven't done anything well at E3 for so long I doubt anyone remembers the last time they had a good showing at an E3 event.
Also Destination Playsation isn't new. Is it the 12 or 13th year of it????
If I was Sony (and I was doing a PS4 reveal at E3) I would unveil some big stuff there and then have a smaller show for the PS3 and Vita at E3 (Vita having a bigger one than the PS3)
I actually agree with everything you just said. That would be a smart move!
Well apparently they haven't done it in a while now so No it's not an annual thing like E3
I disagree because e3 is a much bigger event and they need to show the ps4 there and not waste the opportunity.
PS3 and Vita titles will be shown off here at this event for 2013.
PS4 will be shown off primarily at E3 with a small showing of PS3 games and PSVita titles. As well as Vita/PS4 connectivity. Possibly evolved Vita/PS4 interactivity much more capabilities than PS3/Vita.
It really depends on WHEN they are releasing the console, if they are releasing the ps4 i summer, they will announce it in february, if winter, they will announce it right before or right after E3.
Except Nintendo showed the WiiU at E3 2011, then they showed some more at E3 2012 to release it in 2012.
If Sony and Microsoft show something at E3 2013, it doesn't mean they will release it in 2013.
Vita being a handheld wouldn't lose marketshare to PS4.
PS3 could unless Sony can keep the enthusiasm going by either dropping the price or driving motivation through their upcoming games.
It's got to happen at some point anyway and current rumours are pointing towards a September release which is not really that far away so sooner it is announced the better.
Vita is a $250+ gaming console/media entertainment hub. It IS competing with the PS4, portable or not. These devices(PS3, PS4, Vita) are all hardcore HD gaming devices. They are all equally competing for your time and money in this respect.
Most don't have the discretionary income to spend $250+ on a home console and then a week later spend ANOTHER $250+ on a portable console to play on the hour train ride home from school/work(one of the reasons Vita is struggling with pre-existing PS3 owners atm).
When the average person buys a $250 gaming console(portable or not), they don't plan on buying ANOTHER $250 gaming console for several years...since they JUST spent close to $300.
The only company that CAN do this is Apple due to their aggressive marketing and sheep consumers. This is what enables them to have a MacBook(big brother), iPAD(smaller brother), iPOD touch(even smaller brother), iPod mini(smallest brother) all coexist and sell well.
"PS3 could unless Sony can keep the enthusiasm going by either dropping the price or driving motivation through their upcoming games."
I think Sony will bundle the PS3 and Vita for $399 as a counter option to the PS4. This would make all three devices attractive.
Will have to agree to disagree.
Handhelds and Consoles have about as much in common as a school bag and a travel bag IMO.
Sure they are both bags but made for two completely different uses, when people go shopping they generally know what purpose it is to be used for. Be it school (console) or travel (handheld).
Thus being two different markets.
Nintendo's biggest threat in japan to wiiu now for the future is trying to not be overshadowed by their own 3DS. Same goes for Sony...
"Handhelds and Consoles have about as much in common as a school bag and a travel bag IMO."
But if the prices of that travel bag and school bag are comparable, you see where I'm coming from right? Assuming both bags are priced the same, lets say $20.
Wouldn't a consumer feel cheated if they get the school bag, considering that they can get a bigger bag with more space...for the same price?
Your correct in saying that one device is more portable than another, but in the end, both have the same general purpose...which is to carry items.
Lets apply this concept to the PS3/Vita. Both are comparable in price, and although one is more portable than the other..the general use for each is gaming.
"It's like saying "I won't buy ipad if new mac book comes out"
I touched on that in my earlier comment. Apple is an exception to the rule for various reasons.
I see where you're coming from but what if the bag is too big for what's required? Maybe the size will stop it from fitting in a locker or just simply make it too unconventional to use due to what it offers?
I'll give you that it may not apply in all cases but for most the consumer should know what they want.
^^Agree completely! It really depends on the person to what degree of importance the aspect portability has to the purchase.
What I'm willing to wager(judging from Vita's sales performance so far)is that portability ISN'T a major factor for MOST hardcore gamers.
Personally speaking, I'm more attracted to the Vita for its upcoming exclusive titles than its (portability/form factor)
"Ensuring that everyone who is in the market for a PS3 or Vita in the Spring will hold off on buying one and wait for the PS4."
ps2 has sold for 12 years and stopped just before ps4 now.. Also why would ps4 have conflict with on the go gaming? Will ps4 do it better?
It's like saying "I won't buy ipad if new mac book comes out"..
Or maybe I don't know sh!t? That could be possible.
I hope they do announce it! That way we can skip the 20 min e3 talk about the history of playstation and get into new games and game play in the beginning instead of a reveal at the end.
I just want to see the games.
"It's like saying "I won't buy ipad if new mac book comes out".."
Both items are competing for your money and your time so yes, that does happen. There is definitely an overlap of market especially due to the pricing being basically identical.
Personally, I was considering getting an ultra laptop OR a tablet, but settling on MS Surface Pro instead when it is released. :)
"Or maybe I don't know sh!t? That could be possible."
"Personally, I was considering getting an ultra laptop OR a tablet, but settling on MS Surface Pro instead when it is released. :)"
Same here lol.
Personally I think LOGIC is right. I was always going to go a Vita but then I was like why the hell would I buy that when for the same price I can get a PS3...He's right about Apple though, really is the only company where everyone HAS to have every single freaking product. It's ridiculous. For a guy like myself I chose to buy neither the PS3 or Vita now that it is getting so close to time for the next wave of consoles. Regardless of price point and if the release next to each other I will buy BOTH the PS4 and the Nextbox.
A full blown PS4 announcement in febuuary? Knowing they still have AAA's coming out in the next 5 months? Yeah I doubt Sony would announce such a behemoth.
Destination PlayStation will showcase allot but a PS4 announcement won't be one of them imo.
Microsoft's console should of been released last year. The wait is probably going to hurt them in the future.
As for PS4, i think 2013 would be a good year to release it. Later then 2013 would probably be bad for Sony.
Since this is a retailer retreat type of event it's unlikely they will announce anything that big. They will show off exactly what they said they would, as it's what they've done every time in the past. Retail executives don't care about that "OMG...PWN'D" feeling that fan boys do.
My PS3 just died, and i have games yet to play, what should i do now? Timing couldn't be worse.
SMASH IT! Give it to a homeless guy or sell it on ebay lol
Seriously just repair it (if it cheap enough) you can play it for couple of months, and when it broke down again try play somes on the PC enough time when the PS4 arrive
I somehow doubt that anyone who has waited this many years to buy a PS3 will be buying its successor at launch, nor do I see how this relates to the Vita at all.
while i do see sony atleast talking about their new system before E3, i also see the other side where if they announce it too soon than ps3 will loose some steam and many would hold out for a ps4.
i say at GDC we will most likely hear something, while E3 is the single biggest media event what you want to do is get the news to those who don't watch E3 or come to gaming sites, i say maybe right before E3 get people excited by announcing we will be show casing our new system at E3 so as many people as possible would watch it
also announcing a new system would mean price drop for ps3 for sure, i know sony recently started making money on ps3's so are they in a position to give $100 price drop?
next few months will be fun to speculate
Sony has all their big games coming out before E3 so that I think is the biggest sign of a PS4 reveal at E3.
That changes nothing, they need to announce it eventually, better now than say, Xmas 2013
Although Sony has more games than MS before May 2013 if they dont announce PS4 at destination playstation what they gonna talk about? As there is a still a lack in games after May 2013.. All we know about is 1313 and GTA 5.
No this late in the game, people just buying a ps3 wont get ps4 on launch for the price it will cost-the few people like me that need to replace a ps3 etc and are waiting till after e3 if no announcement has shown up... This echo's how they have announced previous consoles and I fully expect at the very least a big tease and confrimation of the device of not a dull reveal....
yep..PS4 should be launched before the new xbox.
Doubt it. If anything its going to be E3 2013.
What If they did what ms did past e3. Do a basic announcement in feb, then a full reveal at e3 with a launch at e3 as well. Kind of like the xbox slim?
Sony could, but since this is an event for primarily retailers, it doesn't seem like the right place to announce a new Playstation.
Sounds more like people are just wishy wishing!
Indeed they could do that to build excitement and take some wind out of MS sails coming into E3. However then MS would probably "win" E3 as they would have a new console to announce. I would prefer to see a ton of ps4 games though rather than all the new console features at E3. Unlike MS who will just show us 90% console 10% games no doubt as thats what you do with a console (and kinect)
Sounds great to me! Sony announced the Vita during late January if I'm correct so I hope they do an early announcement for the PS4 E3 feels way to far away and less time to hype it up till late 2013. I want to hop on this hype train sooner than later.
The sooner the better for everyone ..
I also hope they announce a remote/cross controle for all the games in ps4 , vita can remote pc games , remote desktop showed that , so it's not hard for vita ..
Nintendo officially announced the Wii U at E3 2011. Console companies almost always announce waay ahead of release what they intend, then give time for people to get excited, and for developers to make the necessary games for launch to ensure success.
That being said, I think people need to slow it down and realize, that we most likely won't see a PS4 or X720 release this year. It wouldn't make sense. Especially since their current consoles have been profitable for a shorter time than they were selling at a loss. We'll probably get announcements this year at E3/TGS, then releases in the Holiday season 2014.
I know people don't want to hear that since the Wii U is already out, but think about it. They pretty much can't rush these things out this year. It wouldn't be wise to release them before the holiday season of the following year. It is what it is. So I say, sit tight if you're satisfied completely. Buy a Wii U or PC to supplement your current console experience if you want more variety. But don't expect Sony and MS to rush.
Another year or two, and they might actually be able to release their consoles with the specs people expect, at a price not too much greater than the Wii U. If they rush a release now, you'll either be disappointed, or be paying A LOT, which of course would alienate most consumers, and ensure an unacceptably small install base. Be patient. Nintendo is doing their thing, and they'll be fine. Sony and MS will do theirs, and be fine as well.
They will announce it 3 months after GTA V comes out
PS Destination will be for the upcoming games on the PS3 and probably the Vita too. Why announce it on Feb when you can announce it on the biggest gaming stage of them all, E3.
Because both Sony and MS jump ahead of E3. If they both announce at E3 then both of them spend the entire conference talking about that. They still have PS3 and Vita to advertise.
Best bet would be a random event happening like they did with the Vita. MS will most likely use Spike TV to show off the next Xbox again. Then both will go into E3 with the ability to further show off games and talk more in detail about it since the announcements are out of the way.
I don't think it happens at Destination PlayStation. This is retailers, not journalists. Normally they just announce "hey look we have a sweet bundle or limited edition paint scheme, who wants to carry it?!"
Because E3 has a saturation of gaming news, any big announcement will be watered down by the wealth of general gaming news out of the event far better to have an initial announcement at your own dedicated confrence. The ps4 will ubdoubtably have close links to vita thus an event for games for both and some mention of the connectivity could ultimately boost vita sales
I think they will announce it close to release date, at E3. Look at apples marketing, they announce hardware and weeks later its out and sells tons when hype is highest. They will make huge hype for ps4 and release it soon after
please stop, your just trying to hype us up for nothin
Come on sony, I'm ready to pre order my PS4. Also please give us something like Resistance: Fall of Man as a launch title.
Given all the Sony exclusives we know coming for first half of 2013 are after February it makes ZERO sense they would announce their next console before E3. That would be marketing suicide for all those games and to be frank all 3rd party games on that platform.
it makes perfect sense look at god of war release about a year before the ps3 release date and the god of war 2 after the ps3 released so big block busters mean nothing on how a game will sell most people will have their ps3's for about 2months to a 1 year after ps4 release
It's incredibly annoying to me, to see all that speculation and question marks almost every day on here. How often can you ask yourself whether or not there might be an announcement at random occasion XY? There is no actual information that can lead to a conclusion. As soon as next gen is the topic, there's a huge amount of speculation. I wouldn't usually mind, but somehow almost all of those (mostly) useless articles get a spot on top.
Considering Sony usually preemptively announce their games and such prior to e3 its possible but no one will know till it happens
I would imagine they would do what they do best and show teasers with no gameplay years in advanced....AHEM, LAST GUARDIAN*
Or possibly show fake gameplay footage like they did with Motorstorm. They know how rabid their fanbase is. Some still think it looks exactly like that footage. LOL!
I am pretty sure it was Killzone 2 that showed a trailer and was told it was gameplay when it really wasn't, not Motorstorm. I could be wrong, it may have been both.
That will be great news to hear on my birthday. Lets hope Sony gets a head start on Xbox.
As long as PS4 launches before years end I will be happy & I don't think it will hurt them. MS have the endless cahsflow to dig themselves out of the hole of a 6 month dissadvanatge, whereas, Sony cannot afford to do that again. Plus, if Sony can get PS4 out with at least a 6month jump on Xbox720, & 720's rumoured $299 price is right, then Sony could launch PS4 with the best specs possible for $399 on launch, with at least 6months at that price, then on 720's launch day, Sony could initiate there proposed $120 price drop, therefore having PS4's price point $20 under the 720's, not to mention with a couple of packaged titles in there greatest hits range (I'm sure there'll be a few titles that sell over a million copies in the 6months after PS4's launch).
I know that dreamers thinking we'll get all these new chipsets, as well as "16gigs of ram" & 1 terrabyte HDD's, really are not being one bit realistic. I mean, if MS are at $299 as speculated, there is no way on gods green earth they can offer 16gigs of ram, as that type of ram would probably cost that alone, so for MS to have that, plus a 500gig HDD, GPU, CPU & the other components that make up a console, there is just no way financially that MS could afford the hit..........Well, that is not right, they could just put us on a contract (like a mobile phone), which would mean you pay a set monthly fee for connection to Live, along with the console, & all this for only 2yrs worth of $39 payments a month. So, they could market it to us morons that we get a free console, when in fact we would be paying a thousand or 2 for the unit.
Anyway, lets hope we get better specs than we can dream of & be able to get them soon.....like this Xmas & no later. I really don't want to have to wait until 2014 to get hold of a new PS4, I mean, the end of 2013 is going to be torturous enough a wait, although, I guess we have Aliens:CM, GOW:Ascention, Gears4, The Last Of Us, Injustice:GAU, Beyond:TS, & there are a arms length list of others that are gonna keep us busy this year, & although it won't even nearly keep our minds off new consoles, they will at least, temporarily distract us.

Donna Lange, Washington Woman, Accused Of Using Her Breasts To Smother And Kill Boyfriend
Posted: 01/16/2013 10:31 am EST | Updated: 01/16/2013 10:53 am EST
A Washington woman is accused of using her breasts to smother and kill her boyfriend after an altercation at their mobile home.
Donna Lange, a 51-year-old woman from Everett, Wash., is believed to have suffocated her boyfriend to death with her breasts on Saturday, Jan. 12, according to Seattle's KIRO 7 Eyewitness News. Deputies, called to the Airport Inn trailer park at 12:45 a.m. for a disturbance report, found medics performing CPR on Lange's 51-year-old alleged boyfriend, who was later pronounced dead at Swedish Hospital.
Kiro 7 reports that witnesses claims they saw Lange throw her boyfriend down in the back of the mobile home. She was later found by witnesses with her chest covering the victim's face. Police noted the size difference between Lange and her boyfriend -- she was 5-feet, 6-inches and 192 pounds, he was 5-feet, 7-inches and 175 pounds.
Other women around the world are known to have allegedly used their breasts as weapons.
In November, German lawyer Tim Schmidt claimed his girlfriend tried to smother him with her 38DD breasts. Schmidt said she pretended it was a sex game, the Daily Mail reported. "I asked her why she wanted to smother me to death with her breasts and she told me: 'Treasure

An open letter to John W. Henry:
Congratulations on your successful bid for the Worcester Telegram & Gazette. We're delighted to be owned by a businessman with the acumen to make shrewd investments, help journalism succeed in challenging times, and reward deserving employees with box seats to playoff games. I just love the Red Sox! At least, I do now. And I can't wait to watch a game, as soon as I clear my schedule for the requisite 10.5 hours.
I'll bet you're proud to own a newspaper of our stature. I should remind you that your purchase also includes The Boston Globe, a struggling yet old daily newspaper to the east of Worcester. That's a good paper, too, even though its sports department has written many nasty stories about the Red Sox, which, as mentioned, I simply adore. I only hope, in fairness to the Globe, you don't give it short shrift while spending all your time and resources on the T&G, the flagship of your new media empire.
We have a lot in common, you and I. Like you, I dropped out of college. Like you, I love rock and roll. Like you, I possess a natural affinity for commodities trading, as soon as I learn what it is. No offense, but if a college dropout can trade them, how hard can it be?
We were quite relieved that you bought us, Mr. Henry, because you're a smart, solid visionary. Not all of the bidders share those attributes. One of them, upon further inspection, turned out to be an actual wolverine. And rumors swirled that at least one of the unsuccessful buyers planned to sell us to an international sex trafficking ring, until learning the median age of the reporting staff.
But our relief is tinged with worry. Some suspect you plan to keep the Globe and sell off the T&G, because you've visited the Globe at least twice and have yet to drop in on us, even though my editor would have gladly sprung for pastries. And when your public comment about us to date consists of, "I'm well aware that the Telegram is part of this," we chose to consider that reassuring, although I recently overheard your exchange with a reporter:
Reporter: How do you feel about the sale?
You: The Globe is a terrific newspaper.
Reporter: What about the Telegram?
You: What? You sent me a telegram?
Just yesterday, a Globe columnist wrote a rather fawning column about you, but I trust you are far too intelligent and good-looking to fall for such groveling. We may not be as big as the Globe, but we value our dignity.
Please keep us, Mr. Henry. The Telegram is a proud institution that has served the readers of Central Massachusetts for almost 150 years, which, coincidentally, is the last time anyone around here received a pay raise. But we still care tremendously about this newspaper. Our staff has won a gaggle of awards, and our crack investigative team consistently annoys some of the most powerful people in Worcester County.
I should also remind you that the T&G columnists — at least the female one — are huge fans of the Red Sox. The male columnist happens to favor the Yankees, if you can believe it. And the fact that he once called left-fielder Johnny Gomes an "over-muscled oaf" should in no way influence your choice if you decide to let one of us go. (You didn't hear it from me, but he also believes A-Rod is "getting the shaft" and that golf is an actual sport. Ha, ha!)
Times are tough, Mr. Henry. Most of us were English majors and thus possess no skills that would qualify us for a real job. So please, come visit. I think you'll like what you see, especially as the editor plans to order my misguided colleague to remove all those unsightly Yankees pennants from his cubicle.

MILLBURY � The owner of at least one local business, Calabria Ristorante at 7 South Main St., thinks a proposed slots parlor would be good for the town. A "Yes" sign stood prominently placed on the wrought-iron fence surrounding the sidewalk dining area.
Inside the busy eatery, about a dozen residents gathered Thursday for the initial meeting of the Yes for Millbury Coalition, a group that believes Mass Gaming & Entertainment's proposed $200 million slots casino would be just what the town needs to lift it from its financial doldrums.
"The status quo is not positive," said coalition spokesman and former Selectman Brian Stowell. "We want to be a town that's in the affirmative. We want to be a town that gets things done."
He added that biotech and other commercial interests aren't knocking on Millbury's door to add to its economic base.
"We can't pass this up," he said. "This is a gift as far as I'm concerned."
Mr. Stowell said the majority of residents support the casino. He asked that coalition members get "Yes" signs out to homeowners, talk to neighbors one-on-one and speak up at Monday night's Planning Board hearing on a special permit for the project.
The Planning Board hearing begins at 7:15 p.m. Monday in the Millbury Junior/Senior High School auditorium.
The group is still working out its communication avenues and developing talking-point sheets, but Mr. Stowell highlighted a few facts to counter comments by casino opponents:
• The proposed casino would bring improvements to McCracken Road, which has been on the town and state's project list for years, much sooner � in two years instead of at least seven to 10 years without the developer's work. It would also hasten construction of a new public safety building.
Mr. Stowell said, "These are needs that are in front of the town right now. The casino would help offset costs."
• He stressed that the benefit to taxpayers of $3.25 million annually "is huge." By comparison, the average single-family homeowner's taxes would be $679 a year higher if Wheelabrator and the Shoppes at Blackstone Valley weren't built in town, which he said bring a combined $3.6 million to town revenue.
• When people question where the $3.25 million in new revenue will go, they need to be reminded that it's up to town meeting voters to act on the annual budget.
• While some have scoffed at a number of the roughly 400 promised casino jobs as paying $25,000 to $40,000 a year, Mr. Stowell, who works part-time at The Home Depot, said, "Guess what: That's good money for many people."
•Concerns about the environment and runoff into the Blackstone River don't take into account the current use of the McCracken Road industrial site, which includes a metal recycling plant and warehouse. "It's going to be better than what's there now. It will be LEED gold standard, which is above and beyond (standard building practices)," he said.
Dennis Leonard, a longtime teacher, coach and former Millbury School Committee member, drew applause from the group when he said, "I'm not a gambler but the more important thing is this town needs a financial lifting. We cannot let this thing go by."
"This is a good thing for the town and surrounding areas. We're going to get a lot of jobs out of this," said Charlie Smith of Millbury.
Mr. Smith said he owned a slots parlor when he lived in South Carolina for a few years and never had any problems.
"The people who are against it haven't really been involved in this," he said. "They haven't done their research."
Some of the most vocal opposition to the proposed casino has come from residents of McCracken Road, who already suffer from heavy mall traffic.
But Scott Miller, who lives at McCracken Road and Greenwood Street, said he supported the casino because it would hasten the much-needed improvements to that treacherous roadway, as well as provide money for other town services.
The new casino would also be an environmental improvement to the junkyard that is on the site now, he said.
"We just don't see the negatives," Mr. Miller said. "I think people are against it morally and not economically."
While he may disagree with several of his neighbors, Mr. Miller said, "I did my own research and made up my own mind. There's no negatives for us."
Mr. Stowell said that people can find out more about the proposed slots parlor and join Yes for Millbury on the developer's website: www.casinomillbury.com .

Share Excellent Remove DRM Free Tool
Digital Radio Mondiale TM (DRM) is the universal, openly standardised digital broadcasting system for all broadcasting frequencies, including LW, MW, SW, band I, II (FM band) and III (above 30 MHz). DRM is an acronym for Digital Rights Management, a broad term used to describe a number of techniques for restricting the free use and transfer of digital content. DRM is used in a number of media such as Sony Connect, Apple iTunes Store, Windows Media Center, etc. It is used to protect the WMV, WMA, M4P, M4V, ASF, documents and so on. If you want to open these files you should Remove DRM first.
Last week I download a M4V movie, but it cannot be played because of the DRM, I heard DRM before I met it , DRM is not only used in video but also documents like PDF eBook, ePub, World , Excel and so on. To be honest, I like the formal format more eg MP4, MPG, MPEG, 3GP, RM, RMVB, DAT, MOV (QuickTime Video), FLV, AVI, Xvid, VOB, MKV, etc.
At first, I dont know how to deal with this, so I ask one of my friends who is the movie maker spe******t, he told me a wonderful tool which he had used, Then I download it freely, before that I worried that I don't know how to make it work, but I am wrong, it is not hard but easy. I follow the step one by one, and then I did it. It cost me a few minutes, convenient, professional and wonderful. I also tried Remove DRM from PDF. If I want to copy PDF I must Remove DRM or I cant do anything. I also download a PDF document, then use the tool to remove DRM so that I can copy it. As I am forward, it worked. And aslo in a few minutes, besides these, there are more info functions you can choose, I keep the tool in my computer, as I know it is useful. The news says that some radio maybe add DRM too, so radio, video, document, and so on. I am preety sure that I need the DRM Removal Software.
If you met the same problem like me, you can have a try what I said in this blog, And I hope this blog can do you some help. The following sites are what I have used and I think they are good. Interested? Try them.

Student Testimonials
Students from the JBS Web Services and Mobile Applications 2010 summer program wrote the following in the anonymous program evaluation.
To all of my friends who have even a peripheral interest in web development, I would recommend this program enthusiastically.
The JBS has allowed me to gain useful skills that I can apply in a real-world job.
I would recommend JBS program to those who want to develop a product from beginning and are interested in learning something different than the traditional academic learning.
I learned a lot about how to use Ruby, Rails, Java, and Android. It was challenging, but it was exactly what I was interested in. I really enjoyed it!
A wide variety of topics were covered in 8 weeks of time. Many technologies were new to the students so it was challenging to learn and work in a fast-paced schedule.
There were many concepts introduced to me that I have never experienced before. An example would be agile methodology for rapid development and the usage of GIT and ruby on rails. The homework was also extremely intense!
Lots of room for creativity, adapting new tools, and developing new modes of thinking (from networking to agile development).
Indeed, the topics of the course were well integrated. The lectures each day were backed up by a homework that included content from the lecture. In addition, we worked in a team to develop a cool product which was a key feature.
Many of the homework assignments involved directly applying what was learned in class to our incubator projects. This was a great way to solidify our new knowledge.
Learning by doing is one of my favorite ways of learning, and that's what this class was all about.
I feel that the new type of learning experience helps show how to apply the skills you've learned from classes into the real world.
Such a learning environment is rare in a traditional academic setting. Learning in a small group of like-minded, passionate individuals allows for a more tightly knit community to form, which in turn gives students a greater opportunity to learn from their peers.
I say, "I could make that" whenever I see a website.
This program inspired me in many ways. Tim Hickey inspired me to see the Internet as a platform for positive social change and individual empowerment; Pito Salas inspired me to seriously consider starting a business with my peers, as well as to take professional networking seriously. The program also strengthened my web development principles.
From this program, I found out that it's not that hard to build a web application and mobile application. This might encourage me to try more ideas and implement them on the internet.
Anyone interested in web applications should take this course -- it was well worth it!
This is an experience that you wouldn't be able to get in one semester anywhere else.
Some of the greatest benefits include meeting new COSI people, learning ruby, and just listening to speakers. What makes this program special is the unity between students and teachers along with the group work.

|University of Hawaii Maui College Executive Summary

After experiencing a 50% enrollment gain between 2005-2010, with the largest spike of 25% in 2008, Maui College began to see enrollment decline in 2012-13. Annual headcount dropped by 6% and enrollment of Native Hawaiian students dropped by 7%. In Fall, New student numbers dropped by 17%, while enrollment for Transfer, Continuing, and Returning remained steady or slightly increased. In Spring, enrollment for students in all categories declined.
Despite the recent decline in enrollment, closely tied to economic recovery, Maui experienced an overall growth of 59% between 2006 and 2011, with minimal resources. The college has been successful in obtaining federal and institutional innovation funds to hire temporary staff and implement initiatives which have allowed the campus to keep afloat.
In spite of lacking resources, the quality of our services continues to be confirmed by results of the CCSSE surveys. Since 2008, Maui College has been in the 90th percentile in "Support for Learners Benchmark." Both Frequency and Satisfaction in all areas, including Academic Advising, Career Counseling, Financial Aid Advising, Student Organizations, Transfer Credit Assistance, and Services for People with Disabilities, have steadily increased over the years. The high marks are a testament to the hard work of an already overstreched Student Affairs staff.

Collective efforts by Student Affairs staff helped to manage our enrollment decline in 2012-13. To boost our efforts in 2013-14, we plan to utilize available tools and technology to facilitate proactive intervention, work more collaboratively with Academic Affairs in retention, and continue lobbying for much needed resources in Student Affairs.
