"Back in the Game"
Terry Gannon Jr. (Maggie Lawson) was an all-star softball player until life threw her a few curve balls - a baby, a lost college scholarship and a loser for a husband. After striking out on her own, Terry and her son, Danny (Griffin Gluck), move in with her estranged father, Terry Sr., aka "The Cannon" (James Caan). The Cannon is an opinionated, beer-guzzling, ex-athlete who never quite made the cut either as a single father or professional baseball player. As hard as Terry tries to keep Danny away from the sports-driven lifestyle of her youth, Tommy wants to play Little League. His stunning lack of baseball skills (he doesn't even know which hand the mitt goes on) makes him the laughing stock of the baseball field and of his grandfather's living room. When Danny and a group of other athletically challenged hopefuls fail to make the team, Danny's disappointment forces Terry to face her past. So when a wealthy neighbor volunteers to finance a team for the rejected kids, Terry reluctantly offers to coach the team of misfits.

Before there were parenting blogs, trophies for showing up and peanut allergies, there was a simpler time called the '80s. For geeky 11-year-old Adam (Sean Giambrone), these were his wonder years, and he faced them armed with a video camera to capture all the crazy. The Goldbergs are a loving family like any other, just with a lot more yelling. Mom Beverly (Wendi McClendon-Covey) is a classic "smother," an overbearing, overprotective matriarch who rules this brood with 100 percent authority and zero sense of boundaries. Dad Murray (Jeff Garlin) is gruff, hot-tempered and trying to parent without screaming. Sister Erica (Hayley Orrantia) is 17, hot, terrifying, and not one to mess with. Barry (Troy Gentile) is 16, a grade-A spaz with classic middle child syndrome. Adam (Sam Giambrone) is the youngest, a camera-wielding future director who's crushing on an older woman. Rounding out the family is beloved grandfather Al "Pops" Solomon (George Segal), the wild man of the clan, a shameless Don Juan who's schooling Adam in the ways of love. When Pops buys a new sports car and offers his Caddy to middle child Barry, it's enough to drive this already high-strung family to the brink of chaos.

They say the third time's the charm, and reformed party girl Kate (Malin Akerman) is hoping that's true when she becomes Pete's (Bradley Whitford) third wife. She fell into his arms (literally) at a karaoke bar, and a year later Kate's got an insta-family, complete with three stepchildren and two ex-wives. Diane (Marcia Gay Harden) is ex-wife No. 1, an intense, over-achieving doctor and the mother of twin teenagers Hillary (Gianna LePera) and Warren (Ryan Scott Lee). Diane is quick to convey her withering disapproval of Kate's barely tapped maternal instinct. Ex-wife No. 2, Jackie (Michaela Watkins), is mother to adopted son Bert (Albert Tsai), and can pull Pete's strings with her special blend of neurotic, new-ageyness.

Inclusive social contract is key to creating lasting systems in crisis, post-crisis countries, UNDP expert saysSep 18, 2012
Washington — Broad national consultations play a key role in establishing governance and rule-of-law systems that will endure in countries emerging from conflicts and crises, according to a senior UN Development Programme (UNDP) expert.
"Because we work in crisis areas, we are often present when a national conversation about the type of society people want is possible. Poor people want better opportunities and everyone wants the conflict to stop," Sheelagh Stewart, leader of UNDP's Governance and Rule of Law team in the Bureau for Crisis Prevention & Recovery, said in remarks at the US Institute of Peace.
"This is the moment when a conversation about rule of law and justice, about the social contract that holds it all together, is possible. Our job is to facilitate that conversation," she said.
"We don't impose our notion of fairness, but we do ask stakeholders what they all want out of a new system. People don't mind not getting a great deal, but they do mind not getting a fair share of what's out there."
Modern technology can help broaden the conversation and expand access to justice. In Libya, thousands of people were able to comment online on a draft Constitution and make their views knows. In Timor Leste, international experts deployed Skype connections in remote areas to allow witnesses in legal proceedings to testify remotely.
"Wherever you find conflict, you also find a lack of access to justice, which suggests that when people cannot access justice they may turn a blind eye to militant responses and in some extreme cases even resort to more extreme measures themselves," Ms. Stewart told an expert roundtable.
"UNDP focuses on addressing the legacy of violence. We work on ensuring that people are safe and their property is secure. When people are safe and secure, they can look after their own development—growing cash crops, knowing that they will be able to get them to market and earn a living," she said.
"When they are not safe, it is more difficult to take care of the future. Poor people who worry that their daughters will get raped on the way to school don't send them. And the resulting impact on education leaves people less well placed to look after themselves and their future."
UNDP works to ensure that national governments have the people, skills, and resources to provide security and access to justice.
"We cannot let the perfect be the enemy of the good, and must recognize that supporting states to deliver does not mean importing blueprints, best practices, or standalone models for state-building processes. Rather, these aims must be rooted in what is practical and achievable within the local context."
In Colombia, UNDP provided support to the development of a comprehensive national framework for victims' rights is set to provide reparations for approximately 400,000 victims by 2014. By April 2012, 75,000 victims had already been provided with compensation. This includes allowing victims of paramilitary violence access to land they lost in the conflict. UNDP has supported 796 civil society organizations that represent victims of conflict, including 83 women's groups. As of January 2011, 121,000 hectares of land had been handed over to 38,000 rural workers.
In Tunisia, UNDP supported the drafting of new laws with the full participation of non-governmental organizations. UNDP worked with representatives from more than 50 political parties to promote collaboration and support a more consensus-based transitional process.
In Somalia, UNDP supported local government in producing the first annual development plans, in consultation with the communities that they represent. This resulted in the rehabilitation of health centres, water boreholes, irrigation systems, roads, marketplaces, and garbage collection points and benefited 140,000 people. UNDP has also facilitated the training and recruitment of more than 14,000 police officers and the creation of mobile courts, legal aid centres, and sexual assault referral centres.
In Afghanistan, UNDP supports the remuneration of the 137,000-strong Afghan National Police force and pioneered the development of the force's first community security initiatives.
In the DR Congo, where sexual and gender-based violence is rife, UNDP provided support to the justice system, resulting in the conviction of 193 members of the Congolese army and police for crimes related to sexual violence. This was a major step forward in tackling impunity for these crimes.
In El Salvador, UNDP's community security programmes have brought together police and community leaders in 20 of the most violent areas to help reduce violence. In 2011, this resulted in a reduction of homicide, theft, and assault in some of the most dangerous municipalities—with a 40 percent drop in homicides in one area. In early 2012, the programme was extended to 30 municipalities.
In the Palestinian territory, UNDP has facilitated access to legal aid for more than 17,000 men and women in the West Bank and Gaza.
In Guinea (Conakry), UNDP's support to the security sector facilitated the retirement of some15 percent of the army and development of comprehensive reform plans for the entire security sector – two critical elements for long-term stability in the country.

Quarterback Koi Cook threw three touchdown passes and rushed for another as the Red Devils racked up a season-high 255 yards passing. Cook completed 10 of 16 passes to reach that mark, thus averaging an impressive 25.5 yards per completion.
Grand's first two touchdowns in the first quarter both came on long pass plays, with Dalton McElhaney scoring the first TD on a 56-yard reception, and Tanner White scoring on a 35-yard play two possessions later. Grand missed the point-after kick after the first TD, but Ronnie Dolphin ran the ball in for the two-point conversion after the second TD to give Grand an early 14-0 lead.
Parowan, which had already missed one field goal at that point, then scored a TD on its next possession, with Jake Topham breaking loose for a 17-yard rushing score. Cody Hartlmaier's kick was good, bringing the Rams to within 14-7 as the first quarter ended.
Cameron Taylor scored Grand's third TD on a five-yard run early in the second quarter, and Cook ran in the two-point conversion attempt as the Red Devils took a 22-7 lead. Dolphin made an interception midway through the period, but had to leave the game due to an injury he suffered on the play.
Grand managed to drive the length of the field in the final minute of the second quarter, thanks to a long pass from Cook to Tanner White, which White advanced to the Parowan 15-yard line. Cook then completed a nine-yard pass to Wade Kemmsies, who was brought down at the six-yard line with only 8 seconds left in the half. After a time out, Cook found Kemmsies again with a pass, this one at the back of the end zone. Kemmsies, a senior, snagged the ball and scored the first-ever touchdown of his high school career. Koby Sobremesana kicked the extra point to give Grand a 29-7 halftime lead.
Grand scored two more TDs in the third quarter, with Taylor and Cook each making a one-yard run to make the score 43-7. The mercy rule then went into effect, making the clock run without stopping except for time outs.
Parowan did get one more score late in the fourth quarter on a 67-yard pass from Caleb Murphy to Justice Walker, accounting for the final 43-14 margin.
Prior to the game, a special tribute was made in honor of Sam Woodruff, the GCHS sophomore who passed away before the season began. Woodruff's No. 62 jersey was brought to the field by helicopter and put on display during the game. Former GCHS player Kerby Smith, a member of the Red Devils' state championship team in 2005, rode in the helicopter and carried Woodruff's framed jersey onto the field.
This week, on Thursday, Oct. 17 at 7 p.m., the Red Devils head to Blanding to face the San Juan Broncos in the final regular-season contest for both teams. The game will determine the second and third place finishers in the 2A South division, with No. 1 Beaver having already beaten both Grand and San Juan.
"We need to win at San Juan," said coach Wells. "The second-place team [in the 2A South] will have a bye the first week and be on the opposite side of South Summit. If we lose, we would likely have to travel to South Summit for a quarterfinal game."
South Summit, the previously undefeated No. 1 team in the 2A North division, lost on Oct. 11 to North Summit, creating a three-way tie for first place in that division. South Summit plays Millard at Millard on Thursday, Oct. 17.
"We're going to have to play better defense this week," added Wells. "San Juan has their act together, and they're always tough to beat at home."

South African Airways (SAA) has taken delivery of its first two A320s out of a total of 20 A320 Family aircraft ordered from Airbus in 2010, said an Airbus statement released yesterday.
The statement said the development is set to deliver cost efficiencies and allow SAA to expand its Sub-Sahara regional route network and boost revenue in the rapidly growing market.
The airline's A320s, powered by IAE-V2500 engines, feature a two class cabin layout, seating 24 passengers in business class and 114 in economy. The A320s will replace its present fleet of 737-800s and will augment the A319s it already has in service and mark the latest phase of SAA's fleet modernization plan.
"We are delighted to receive our first two A320 aircraft. Operating a modern and homogenous fleet plays a significant role in cost reduction and boosting revenue. The A320 will assist SAA to achieve this while providing our passengers with a more superior cabin product," said Monwabisi Kalawe, SAA's Chief Executive Officer.
"SAA has long been regarded as a bellwether for Africa on aircraft selection and we are looking forward to expanding our relationship. Our reliable, fuel efficient and comfortable A320s will give SAA a competitive edge and help the airline achieve sustainable profitability," said John Leahy, Airbus Chief Operating Officer, Customers.
The A320 Family is the world's best-selling and most modern single aisle aircraft Family. To date, over 9,600 aircraft have been ordered and more than 5,600 delivered to over 380 customers and operators worldwide. With proven reliability and extended servicing periods, the A320 Family has the lowest operating costs of any single-aisle aircraft.

Dear New Frugal You,
Continue Reading Below
I'll turn 50 this year. So I'm beginning to think about retirement. My question is a simple one, but no one seems to be able to give me a clear answer: How much money will I need to save for my retirement? Is there some way to calculate it?
- Zach
Dear Zach,
You're right. By age 50 you definitely should have a retirement plan in place, which isn't always easy, especially in the current environment. Let's see if we can't set up a framework to help you determine how much you'll need to save for a comfortable retirement.
We'll begin with a caution: There is some math involved. If all you want to do is just plug in numbers into a retirement calculator, that's easy. But I'd encourage you to continue reading so you understand how the numbers can affect your results.
Our first task is to estimate how much income you'll want. Then we'll figure out how much savings you'll need to earn that amount of income.
Estimating your income needs in retirement isn't an exact science. You can find experts suggesting between 50% and 100% of your pre-retirement income. Part of the huge variance is due to the variety of retirement lifestyles. Some retirees are content to stay home and tend their gardens. Others take off on that long-postponed world tour.
Take your best guess as to how your desired retirement lifestyle will affect your income needs. Tend to err on the high side.
We'll make up some numbers to work with. Suppose that your current income is $75,000 per year. And you think you'll need about 65% of your current income to enjoy retirement. Multiply your current income by that percentage ($75,000 X .65 = $48,750). To make the illustration easier, let's round up to $50,000.
So that means that you'd need $50,000 per year in retirement. But, that's in today's dollars. What about inflation? Even minor inflation can raise prices significantly over time.
You can use a simple savings calculator to adjust our income target for inflation. In this case we'll enter $50,000 as our starting amount with no additional monthly deposits. Let's choose 3% for "annual interest," which will represent inflation. And 20 years until we want to retire. The calculation works out to $91,037. That's how much inflation-adjusted income we'll need.
Next we'll need to estimate how much of that $91,000 (yes, I've rounded again) will be provided by Social Security. Not an easy question. The trustees of Social Security say that the trust fund will be empty by 2033. That doesn't mean the system will be out of money -- tomorrow's workers will still be paying in -- but it does mean that today's payout levels are questionable. Either benefits will have to be cut or taxes raised -- iffy propositions in today's political world. So you may decide to only include a portion of SS promised benefits in your calculation.
A call to Social Security (800-772-1213) or a visit to its website will get you a form to find out your expected benefits. We'll use the 2013 maximum benefit of $2,533 per month or $30,400 per year.
Next we'll subtract any private pensions that you may have earned. You'll probably need to contact the HR department of your employers (past and present) to find out what you can expect to receive. We'll assume that you'll get $1,800 a month or $21,600 per year.
We now have the three big pieces to our puzzle: how much income we'll need, how much Social Security and private pensions will provide. Subtract the Social Security and private pension from your total. In our case that leaves ($91,000 minus $30,400 minus $21,600 = $39,000).
So we'll need to save up enough money in our IRAs, 401(k)s and savings to earn us $39,000 per year.
We have one last question to answer. How much do we need to save to give us that $39,000 per year? Again you'll get different estimates as to how much income you can take each year without eroding principal. We'll choose a medium estimate of 4% per year.
Dividing our annual income desired by 4% tells us that we'll need to save $975,000.
Now that you've survived the math (which wasn't really all that hard), let's look at some of the assumptions.
I know that experts will say that this is a simplified version. They're right. For one thing, we didn't adjust Social Security benefits for inflation. We could have easily increased them just like we did our income requirements. And, it's also possible that our pension benefits will be adjusted for inflation.
This estimate was meant to be simple. In part because we have some big assumptions that go into any retirement projection. Inflation rates for decades. Investment earning rates. The future of Social Security. Minor changes in any of those rates extended decades into the future make a huge difference. So trying to be overly accurate just isn't possible. This method is fine for getting you in the ballpark, though it won't guide you to your individual seat.
The key thing is to begin saving now. No matter how accurate or inaccurate your estimates are, you'll save more if you start sooner. So starting to save now is always the right answer.
You can recalculate as you update your assumptions over the years. You'll have more info to go on. Your calcuation will become more accurate and as you near retirement you can refine your expectations.
But whether you're 25 or 50, the time to start saving for retirement is now!

Manchester man who was injured when dragged by SUV is arrested for allegedly pointing gun during incidentBY PAT GROSSMITH
New Hampshire Union Leader
August 04. 2014 11:15AM
MANCHESTER — A man hospitalized with a serious head injury after being dragged 30 feet by an SUV is now facing felony charges of criminal threatening and reckless conduct.
Police said Eric Rynasko, 30, of Manchester, threatened the driver of the SUV with a firearm during the altercation Sunday at 2 a.m. at Amherst and Ashland streets.
Lt. Michael Hurley declined to identify the driver of the 2013 Mazda CX-5 involved in the incident or the woman who was in the car with him, other than to say the woman is Rynasko's girlfriend.
Rynasko is accused of handling the firearm in a reckless manner before pointing it at the driver.
Hurley said Rynasko ended up being dagged because the driver stepped on the accelerator when he saw the gun.
Police recovered the weapon on Ashland Street.
Rynasko remains hospitalized in the intensive care unit at Elliot Hospital, where he is being treated for a serious head injury.
Hurley said the injury does not appear to be life-threatening.
Ashland Street resident Cheryl Peabody said she looked out her door Sunday morning to see a young white male sitting on the ground wiping his head.
A girl was standing next to him; both were well-dressed, she said. At one point, another girl came over, spoke to them and then departed.
Peabody said she heard no shouting before a fire engine arrived.
"My dog would bark, believe me," she said.

Sturgis picks up 34-33 road win over Niles Vikings
Sturgis' defense made some big plays in the fourth quarter to hold off host Niles, 34-33, Friday in SMAC cross-divisional play.
The Trojans held the same one-point lead heading into the final 12 minutes.
The first key play came early in the stanza as the Vikings had moved into the red zone.
With a fourth-and-six, Niles quarterback Sean Craig tried to get around the end, but was pushed out of bounds two yards short.
Near the mid-point of the quarter, the Vikings were inside the 10-yard line when their drive stalled.
They tried a 26-yard field goal by Jaycee Myer, but the Trojans were able to block the kick.
The Vikings final chance came with under a minute left.
After getting to their own 40-yard line, two consecutive incompletions on third and fourth down turned the ball over to the Trojans for the win.
Offense was the name of the game in the first half.
Sturgis opened the scoring on a 3-yard run by Matt Phillips, converting on a short drive after Niles fumbled deep in its' own territory.
Oakley Stevens added the point-after for the 7-0 lead.
Niles quickly answered as Craig connected with Ra'Quon Glenn for a 28-yard scoring strike with 6:43 to go in the opening quarter.
Myer tied the game at 7-7 with the extra point.
After an exchange of punts, the Trojans went back in front, 14-7, as Stewart hit Kalvyn Bowdish for a 25-yard touchdown late in the period.
Craig and Glenn combined again for a touchdown, this time a 6-yard pass, to knot the game at 14-14 with 8:58 left in the second quarter.
The Trojans used the ground attack on their next score going 58 yards on six plays.
Matt Phillips had a pair of runs for 32 yards, J.D. Bowdish added two rushes for 23 yards, and Stewart capped the drive with a 3-yard run for the score.
However, the point after was blocked leaving the score at 20-14 with just over seven minutes to go before halftime.
The Vikings drove right back down to take the lead, 21-20.
Craig concluded the 11-play, 65-yard drive with a 1-yard plunge with 3:12 remaining before the break.
Sturgis quickly answered. Core Baldwin got it started with a 55-yard kickoff return.
On the next play, Stewart and Kalvyn Bowdish connected for a 22-yard scoring play.
Matt Phillips bulled his way in for the two-point conversion and a 28-21 Trojan lead that they held until halftime.
Niles cut into the Trojan lead just past the halfway point of the third quarter.
For the third time on the night, Craig and Glenn teamed up fora scoring strike, this time for 53 yards.
Sturgis was able to block the PAT and held on to the slim 28-27 lead.
Not to be outdone, Stewart and Kalvyn Bowdish matched the Viking duo, getting their third touchdown together.
Stewart hit Bowdish for a short pass and then he raced 55 yards for the score.
But a bad snap on the try left the score at 34-27.
The Vikings quickly counter getting a good kickoff return to setup the next score.
Darek Bullock-Mills, who rotated at quarterback with Craig, kept the ball on a keeper from just outside the red zone, but fumbled just before the goal line. However, Niles lineman Balazs Bruckner was able to pounce on the loose ball in the end zone for the touchdown.
The Vikings chose to go for two and the lead, but the pass was broken up and left Sturgis ahead, 34-33, heading into the final quarter.
Stewart finished 10-for-18 for 154 yards with three scores and also picked off a pass on defense.
Bowdish caught six passes for 116 yards. Phillips led the ground attack with 14 carries for 70 yards.
Tristan Stewart led the defense with nine tackles, Max Maher and Phillips each added six, and Tyler Cain, Luke Summey and L.A. Vasquez each had five.

The National Center for Public Policy Research issued this release today:
The Senate Won't Police Itself: Justice Department Probe of Unethical Senate Conduct Sought
Leaked Memos May Identify Votes Traded for Campaign Contributions
In response to allegations of unethical conduct among U.S. senators - including the possible exchange of votes for campaign contributions - The National Center for Public Policy Research has joined other organizations in asking the U.S. Department of Justice's Public Integrity Section to begin an immediate investigation.
Also participating in the call for an official investigation are National Center programs Project 21, an African-American leadership network, and its American Criminal Justice Center, which covers judicial issues.
Manuel A. Miranda, a former counsel to Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, has informed Senate Ethics Committee Chief Counsel Robert Walker that he, Miranda, read documents obtained from a once-shared section of the Senate Judiciary Committee computer network that "includes evidence of the direct influencing of the Senate's advice and consent role by the promise of campaign funding and election support in the last mid-term election."
Related documents published in the Wall Street Journal and Washington Times show Committee business was profoundly influenced by the demands of special interest groups prior to the most recent mid-term elections and the change in Senate leadership. The computer hard drive containing the files cited by Miranda is now in the possession of Senate Sergeant-at-Arms William Pickle.
The letter to the Justice Department calls on the Public Integrity Section to "take immediate possession" of the hard drive before the sergeant-at-arms' office "inadvertently or intentionally destroy[s] evidence of a crime." The sergeant-at-arms' office was charged with finding out how the files were obtained and not what they contain, so a Justice Department investigation would not be duplicative or obstructive.
"Manuel Miranda is a whistleblower," said Amy Ridenour, president of The National Center for Public Policy Research, "but whistleblowers are not appreciated in the exclusive club that is the U.S. Senate. That's why even powerful Republican Senators have acted against a staffer who exposed possible wrongdoing by Democrats, and why an impartial Justice Department investigation, completely beyond the reach of Senate influence, is needed in this case."
"We've investigated to death how these scandalous memos were leaked, but we've ignored their shocking content," said David Almasi, the director of the American Criminal Justice Center. "If the allegations are true, a heinous crime has been committed against our constitutional form of government. It is our duty to get to the bottom of these serious charges."
"It would be a grievous and appalling miscarriage of justice if the reportedly damning memos referenced by Mr. Miranda's were not made public," said Project 21 National Advisory Council member Mychal Massie. "For the Justice Department to not conduct a full and open investigation would be an unacceptable breach of the public trust and fiduciary responsibility."
You can find out more here:
A copy of the letter to the Department of Justice will be made available at www.nationalcenter.org/JudiciaryComplaint204.html.
The Senate Judiciary Committee memos that have been made public can be obtained at fairjudiciary.com/cfj_contents/press/collusionmemos.shtml.
The departure statement of Manuel Miranda can be read online at www.nationalcenter.org/Miranda204.html.
This is shaping up to be a major issue. Time to get educated.

Antimatter asymmetry: new results bring solution closer
Fermilab physicists' fingers crossed
Physicists are inching closer to explaining why we – and anything else made of matter – exist, with new results inching closer to an explanation of the universe's matter-antimatter asymmetry.
If matter and antimatter were created in equal quantities in the Big Bang, some kind of asymmetry is needed to explain how enough matter survived to create the universe we see. The difference in matter-antimatter properties – charge-parity violation – is very easy to predict, since we exist, but it's proven infuriatingly difficult to characterize.
The new results, announced February 29 at a meeting in La Thuile in Italy, represent a refinement of results first reported last year by CERN's LHCb team. The CERN result found a difference of 0.8 percent in decay rates for D0 mesons and their corresponding antiparticles – but, at 3 sigma, with a high chance that the observation was a statistical fluke.
According to Science Now, Fermilab's CDF team says its follow-up experiments (paper here) come up with a slightly lower CP violation of 0.6 percent. The result on its own has only 2.7 sigma statistical significance, but when combined with the LHCb results, they say CP violation can now be pinned down to a 3.8 sigma. At around 1:10,000 chance that this is a statistical fluke, it is less than the 5 sigma (one in a million chance of being wrong) required to announce a discovery, but it's still a strong indication that the experiments are heading in the right direction.
The new experiment finds CP-violating asymmetries in "charmless B0, Bs0 and Λb0 decays into pairs of charged hadrons reconstructed in CDF data."
Their data also reports direct CP violation in bottom strange mesons and bottom baryons, along with evidence for CP violation in other decays.
If the measurements are right, the next challenge will be fitting the results into standard model physics, which predicts a much lower level of CP violation. ®

Yang Jiechang combines traditional Eastern and Western modes of representation in his multimedia work. He calls the essence of this confluence "Eurasian," saying, "Eurasia is the land I experience everyday in my life: I am from Canton, China, my wife is from Germany, our children are Eurasian. We feel this land; this disposition and lifestyle bear a lot of possibilities and power." His monochromatic ink paintings combine the aesthetics of contemporary painting with the tools and techniques of traditional East Asian ink-and-wash artworks. In Xuanzai Ink (1992–96), Yang created a contemplative, expressive splatter of black paint over the wrinkled, textured surface of fine xuan paper and gauze, evoking the look of abstracted calligraphy and echoing the work of mid-century painters, such as Adolph Gottlieb, as well as more recent artists like Olivier Mosset. Yang also works in video, photography, and sculpture.

In 1919, the Chicago White Sox threw the World Series. In 2013, the Red Sox are throwing it away. Boston lost its second straight game to the Cardinals on Saturday night with a bad throw to third playing a key part in the defeat, this one by a 5-4 score.
In 1919, the Chicago White Sox threw the World Series. In 2013, the Red Sox are throwing it away.
In Game 2 it was Craig Breslow airmailing a throw to third. This time, it was Jarrod Saltalamacchia making an unnecessary throw there in the ninth, with St. Louis scoring the winning run as a result.
The Cardinals lead the series, 2 games to 1. Game 4 is scheduled for 8:15 tonight here at Busch Stadium.
Saltalamacchia's throw did not allow St. Louis' Allen Craig to score, technically. Craig was awarded home plate when Will Middlebrooks was in his way as Craig tried to score, Saltalamacchia's throw having gone past third.
"It's a bang-bang play," John Farrell said of Saltalamacchia's decision to throw the ball. "As it turns out, we have forced a couple of throws to third base that have proved costly. Tonight was a costly throw."
The score was 4-4 going into the last of the ninth.
The Red Sox had battled back from 2-0 down, and 4-2 down, to forge the tie. Along the way, Sox pitchers had escaped several sticky messes to keep the score reasonable.
The last mess started when rookie reliever Brandon Workman gave up a one-out single to Yadier Molina. Koji Uehara took over to face Craig, who was pinch hitting. Craig doubled to left and the Cards had men at second and third.
Jon Jay hit a ground ball that Dustin Pedroi made a terrific diving play on, getting up to throw Molina out at home. Craig tried for third and Saltalamacchia's lousy throw left Middlebrooks stretched out on the ground. Craig stumbled over him and third base umpire Jim Joyce called obstruction immediately. The play continued but it didn't matter. The game was over then.
"With the defensive player on the ground, with or without intent, it's still obstruction. You'd probably have to ask Middlebrooks on that one, if he could have done anything. But that's not in our determination."
Crew chief John Hirschbeck said that intent is not a factor in calling the play, adding, "Once (the fielder) has the opportunity to field the ball, he can no longer obstruct the runner in any way. That's basically the rule."
"It's a tough way to have a game end, particularly of this significance," John Farrell said, "when Will is trying to dive inside the stop the throw. I don't know how he gets out of the way when he's lying on the ground. And when Craig trips over him, I guess by the letter of the rule you could say it's obstruction.
"That's a tough pill to swallow."
Middlebrooks was mystified by the call and winds up looking bad even though the mistake was clearly Saltalamacchia's in making the throw.
"I had to go into the runner to get the ball," Middlebrooks said. "There was nowhere else for me to go. There is nothing I would have done differently."
The replay showed Middlebrooks lifting his legs in what seemed like intent to trip Craig, but the third baseman said he was just trying to get up. It didn't matter, anyway, according to Joyce.
The return throw after the ball got away beat Craig but it was close, which made the obstruction call stand. If Craig had been out by 20 feet, plate umpire Dana DeMuth could have ruled him out.
Jake Peavy, who went the first four innings for Boston, said, "I'm shocked that something of this magnitude can be decided like that. It just doesn't seem right."
Peavy gave up two runs in the first inning and St. Louis added two more in the seventh. Boston got one in the fifth, another in the sixth and tied it with two in the eighth.
The Sox were outhit, 12-6, so were fortunate it was even tied, and the game ended with Mike Napoli never being used as a pinch hitter for Workman in the top of the ninth with Trevor Rosenthal pitching, a move Farrell regretted.
"In hindsight," he said, "probably should have double-switched after Salty made the final out the previous inning…I felt like if we get into an extended situation, which that game looked like it was going to – held Nap back in the event that spot came up again."
That was one mistake. Saltalamacchia's throw was another, and Boston has two chances left to take the series back to Fenway Park.

In addition to sovereign debt levels which were the primary focus of the Reinhart/Rogoff studies, it is clear that financial institutions and households face similar growth headwinds. The former needs to raise equity via retained earnings and the latter to increase savings in order to stabilize family balance sheets. The combined need to increase our "net national savings rate" highlighted in last month's Investment Outlook is a long-term solution to the debt crisis, but a near/intermediate-term growth inhibitor. The biblical metaphor of seven years of fat leading to seven years of lean may be quite apropos in the current case with the observation that the developed world's growth binge has been decades in the making. We may need at least a decade for the healing.
2) Globalization
Globalization has been an historical growth stimulant, but if it slows, then the caffeine may wear off. The fall of the Iron Curtain in the late 1980s and the emergence of capitalistic China at nearly the same time was a locomotive of significant proportions. Adding two billion consumers to the menu made for a prosperous restaurant, increasing profits and growth in developed economies despite the negative internal effects on employment and wages. Now, however, these tailwinds are diminishing, producing an airspeed which inexorably slows relative to the standards of prior decades. Is it any wonder that markets now move up or down as much on the basis of policy changes coming out of China as opposed to the U.S. or Euroland? If China and the accompanying benefits of globalization slow, so too may developed economy growth rates.
3) Technology
Technology has been a boon to productivity and therefore real economic growth, but it has its shady side. In the past decade, machines and robotics have rather silently replaced humans, as the U.S. and other advanced economies have sought to counter the influence of cheap Asian labor. Almost a century ago, Keynes alerted the economic community to a "new disease," what he called "technological unemployment" where jobs couldn't be replaced as fast as they were being destroyed by automation. Recently, Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee at MIT have affirmed that workers are losing the race against the machine. Accountants, machinists, medical technicians, even software writers that write the software for "machines" are being displaced without up scaled replacement jobs. Retrain, rehire into higher paying and value-added jobs? That may be the political myth of the modern era. There aren't enough of those jobs. A structurally higher unemployment rate of 7% or more is the feared "whisper" number in Fed circles. Technology may be leading to slower, not faster economic growth despite its productive benefits.

CTA riders had mixed reactions about their commute Monday, the first workday since the agency's service cuts and additions took effect.
Steffany Amacher of Lakeview typically takes the No. 80-Irving Park bus, the Brown Line and the Red Line to the Loop for work in the morning. On Monday, she noticed the Brown Line was less crowded, the Red Line was still crowded and the Irving Park bus had not changed.
"On the Brown Line, there weren't seats, but I didn't feel like a sardine in a can. That's a pretty good improvement," said Amacher, 28. "The Red Line, I'm used to it being packed. I usually get on there about 7:30. There were a lot of people waiting to get on at Sheridan. It was already pretty full when I got on."
To try to ease crowding across the system, the CTA added 17 trips to six rail lines during rush periods, including three southbound Blue Line trips from Rosemont during the morning. Brown Line riders were supposed to see their wait time in the morning decrease from between 3 and 8 minutes to between 3 and 5 minutes.
Additional buses also were added to 48 of the most popular bus routes—though more than a dozen routes saw complete or partial route elimination. Those include the No. 11 Lincoln bus, which no longer runs between the Western and Fullerton Brown Line stations, and the No. 145 Wilson/Michigan Express, which was completely discontinued. The service changes didn't cost the CTA anything, the agency said.
Amacher gave the service changes 3.5 out of 5 stars based on her commute Monday. Other riders weren't as kind.
When Going Public asked riders via Twitter about their Monday morning commute, a few riders expressed frustration with having to change their trips to make up for the loss of the No. 11 bus. A couple of riders complained about the crowding on the No. 146 Inner Drive/Michigan Express, which saw an influx of riders and buses to make up for the elimination of the No. 145 bus.
Some said the Red Line was still crowded while others said it wasn't as crowded.
The real test of the service changes, however, may come in January after people return to work from the holidays.
For Lisa Zimmer of River North, the CTA service changes didn't affect her commute, just her potential for love.
Zimmer, who typically walks the mile to work in the Loop, would occasionally ride the No. 123 Illinois Center/Union Express when the weather was bad. Sometimes when she rode the bus, she would spot her dreamboat—a 6-foot-2 blond man who got off at the same stop she did. She never worked up the courage to talk to him.
On Monday, the weekday-only route was eliminated.
"I sort of had this thought like, 'Oh, I missed my chance,'' said Zimmer, 35. "The CTA is keeping us apart now."
Holiday Train spotting
The annual CTA Holiday Train finishes its run this week. Tuesday and Saturday, it's on the Red Line. Wednesday and Saturday, it's on the Purple Line. It's on the Yellow Line on Thursday. Spot the train? Snap a photo and send to email@example.com or post it to Twitter and tag it with #holidaytrainspotting for GP's annual holiday train gallery.
Riders Block
My pledge to ride a CTA bus along every route from start to finish continues. As part of the service changes that took effect this week, the CTA created two new bus routes: the No. 37-Sedgwick and the No. 115-Pullman/115th.
Up next: No. 37-Sedgwick
A weekly dispatch from a CTA station of note
This week: Pulaski Blue Line
Not to trash talk, but this West Garfield Park station has a garbage problem. Litter lines the tracks in both directions. It doesn't help that the station parallels the Eisenhower Expressway, where drivers undoubtedly through their garbage out their car windows and onto the tracks—but it appears some of this refuse has been there a while. Even worse, when Going Public visited this station Friday morning, four large garbage bags labeled CTA greeted riders outside the Pulaski Road entrance to the station. That's rubbish.
Next up: Harlem Blue Line on Forest Park branch

Napoleon Perdis Prismatic Eyeshadow Quads
Napoleon Perdis Air Prismatic Eyeshadow Quad
Napoleon Perdis Prismatic Eyeshadow Quads
Several months ago, I swatched four of Napoleon Perdis Prismatic Eyeshadow Quads ($35.00 for 0.47 oz.). I always meant to post a look using one of them, but I never got around to it. Usually, when I test out products, I put a whole smattering of various products on my face and do partial looks but nothing one would really want to be seen wearing… (One eye has one set of eyeshadows while the other might be testing mascara and liner… and don't even get me started on mismatching cheeks, LOL!) So even though I may not have an actual full look to show you, I did put these through the rigors I normally put eyeshadows through.
I actually thought these were a lot more affordable than they were; I had classified them as drugstore–but to the contrary! The packaging feels a little cheap to me–it's clear acrylic with visible, gold hinges. Each palette also includes two sponge-tipped applicators that look as cheap as they feel. For $35, the packaging really leaves a lot to be desired. The eyeshadows are textured with a "wave" shape (see the photos–it's visible!).
- AIR features a rather spring-y palette of muted sunshine gold, baby pink with silver sheen, frosted lilac with silver shimmer, and silvered brown. I found this one a little on the sheerer side, which is partially owed to the colors themselves as they're on the lighter end of the spectrum. All four had very frosty finishes to me, though.
- EARTH includes a dark navy blue with a satin-shimmer finish, subtly yellow-tinged green with muted gold shimmer, sheer seafoam green with soft gold sheen, and lightened peachy orange with peach sheen and shimmer. The blue shade swatched beautifully, but the other three shades were a little on the sheerer side, with the seafoam green shade being notably lacking in pigmentation.
- FIRE has a darkened orange-copper with a shimmered sheen, medium-dark beige with champagne shimmer, medium-dark violet purple with a blacker base, and a high-sheen pinkish white. I found this quad to be the most pigmented; all four shades went on really smoothly and vibrantly.
- WATER contains a sheer, shimmery white, cool-toned gray-cast brown with silver shimmer, glowing periwinkle blue with teal sheen, and light, frosted pink with subtle blue undertones. The periwinkle shade is so pretty, and I don't have anything quite like it, but the white and pink shades were rather sheer.
Even though at first glance, these palettes seemed really pretty, I wasn't fond of their textures nor color payoff. They're incredibly soft, but they veer on powdery, which makes them difficult to work with. You really have to pack on the color, and inevitably, you'll need to clean up the noticeable fall out that lands on your under eye area. A few shades were nicely pigmented but many fell short–a little sheer, which may also be a result of the powdery formula.
For $35, I wouldn't put it towards these palettes. You just can't make the justification of affordability for the reduction in quality here, because this is under the Napoleon Perdis label (rather than NP Set, which is sold at Target), which is "high-end." There is a decent amount of eyeshadow in each palette, so it's a shame that the formula doesn't have that wow factor.
If you want to know more about how products are evaluated, read out Rating System FAQ! 🙂
- Product: 20/30
- Value: 8/10
- Ease of Use: 4/5
- Packaging: 3/5
RECOMMENDATION: I don't recommend these unless you find them on sale. Each palette has one or two interesting shades in it, but the quality is just so-so with rather soft, rather powdery textures and less pigmentation than I'd expect for a high-end brand.

AT&T prices up PAYG 3G iPhones
Remarkably close to alleged O2 price plan
AT&T will sell a contract-free 8GB 3G iPhone for $599 (£301) - exactly what the first version was priced at when it went on sale a year or so ago.
The 16GB model will cost $699 (£351).
Subsidised, the two models will set buyers back $199 and $299, respectively, but that price comes at the cost of a two-year airtime package.
But while AT&T today said how much the pay-as-you-go iPhone will cost, it didn't say when they'll go on sale. At some point "in the future", was all it would say, Associated Press reports.
AT&T said the cheaper version will be available from 8am on launch day, 11 July. That lends some weight - albeit circumstantially - that the handset will go on sale in the UK on 7am, as has been claimed.
So far, O2 has been as reticent as AT&T to discuss the details of its PAYG package.
Last week, it was claimed that the O2 website briefly flagged £300 and £360 as the prices for the 8Gb and 16GB PAYG - prices remarkably close to AT&T's.

Burning Tires 3D Review
Burning Tires 3D is another in a long line of App Store racing games. At this point, most developers seem to know that landscape layout, accelerometer controls and scaling ability of the iDevice makes it ideal to bang out a fast racing game to try to turn a profit. Burning Tires, while not a complete failure, doesn't do enough for us to recommend it to you. However, if you're looking for a 99 cent game to distract your young child, BT just might fit the bill. We'll explain.
Though it appears that the cars are supposed to be of a dune buggy/off road variety (and by that we mean they have really big wheels and the tracks aren't paved), BT plays like a pretty standard iPhone racing game. Steering is managed either by the accelerometer or touch controls. Your car's gas pedal is like the fat kid on a see-saw: always down. You don't get to control your speed in any way, other than turning into walls to slow down, and that's pretty bad for a racing game at this point. There are a standard variety of unlockable courses and cars to choose from, though both rides and tracks all play pretty much the same.
Burning Tires 3D disappointed us with its lack of cultivation. For instance, there is no such thing as a speed boost in this game. Nor a weapon. Nor a powerup of ANY sort. And as it turns out, when all you're required to do is steer a car around a dirt road, you need more to make an interesting game. The only thing that can lose you the race is poor steering. The AI controlled cars will knock you sideways and sometimes completely around, but it's pretty easy to avoid them altogether and run a perfect race, winning easily. In fact, BT is a little too easy, period. Sometimes the steering gets a little wonky–making your car lurch left and right interminably, rather than correcting and running straight–and you might lose a place or two. Experienced gamers, though, will probably run through this game in less than an hour, winning every race and unlocking every car and having next to no fun along the way.
We're harboring a suspicion that this game was, at some stage in its planning process, meant to be played by gamers younger than 13 or so. The game music, which is less "music" and more a series of annoying sound effects, and the sound effects themselves (like a big, comical car horn honk) both seem to be geared towards pre-adolescents. The bright graphics and silly cars are very cartoony and fit that mold as well, as does the simplistic nature of the gameplay and the limited control scheme.
The App Store has a burgeoning category of "family-friendly" Apps that are appropriate for youngsters, and that's exactly where Burning Tires 3D belongs; it's the Curious George of iPhone racing games, and it's likely to bore you to tears, even at its current sale price of a dollar. Unless, of course, you're 10 years old.

Drake Routier - Darlie Routier's son
Posted in the Ransom Canyon Forum
1 - 20 of 539 Comments Last updated Mar 6, 2018
#1 Sep 28, 2009
Has anyone heard or know how Darlie Routier's only surviving son is doing? I hear he lives with his grandparents in Lubbock. Also wondering if he still visits her in prison.
#2 Oct 1, 2009
Interesting question, it would be nice to hear how he is.
#3 Oct 20, 2009
Not sure how he's doing but I found his myspace and he's quite the little cutie. I hope he's doing well.
#4 Oct 25, 2009

#6 Jan 13, 2010
Glad to hear he's doing good. Does he still visit Darlie in prison and does his dad spend any time with him?
#7 Feb 22, 2010
I have felt that Darlie was guilty from the beginning. The evidence spoke for itself. She murdered those two boys she had a trial and was convicted. I thought the prosecuters did a great job on this case. She had a fair trial and she got IMO what she deserves.
#8 Feb 23, 2010
i hope drake gets to see darlie alot, cause he should thats his mother. im glad i didnt go through that, having to go to prison or jail to see my mom or father. well its not darlie,s fault that its like that, if theres any one to blame its the state of texas for wrongfully convicting her. i hope and pray that she is found innocent, and gets her freedom back, because she deserves it. im so sorry i misjudged her. i was so wrong.
#9 Feb 23, 2010

#10 Feb 23, 2010
I didnt think she did it from the beginning . Ive Lived in Texas all my life and they are too quick ,, way too quick with throwing around the death penalty.. I am actually for the death penalty ,,but not in this case.
#11 Feb 23, 2010
How did she not have a fair trial? she changed her story about the intruder several times. I thought she was guilty, and still do.Everyone has a right to their opinion and this is mine. You do not worry about fingerprints being on a knife when your children are bleeding to death, and shoot silly string at their gravesite
#12 Feb 23, 2010
As for being totally wrong, i don't think so i thought the prosecution did a good job and were right on
#13 Feb 24, 2010
no darlie didnt get a fair trial and you know it. poor darlie was screwed blue and tattooed. how much money did the law pay you to say such a thing. look at the real truth instead of taking bribes. darlie is totally innocent.
#14 Feb 24, 2010
darlie is innocent and thats the truth, if you say different then your lieing through your tooth. take the laws bribes, tell your lies. i know whats a fact, darlie is innocent. now marsha you can choke on that, rat.
#15 Feb 24, 2010
marsha i have news i have to tell you about darlie since you like to point your finger and say she,s guilty. darlie lynn routier is my best friend. when you run her down like that, you,re running me down. i will take up for her. darlie was not givin a fair trial, she was totally screwed. if darlie routier is guilty, then im don williams the famous country singer.oh im not don williams the famous country singer.
#16 Feb 24, 2010
Wow, this topic started just on Drake! Why all this name calling and junk on Darlie? He has nothing to do with all that happened back then! He might read all this and Hey, that's his mother! Be nice ~~ Yall act like you'll handled the case! No One know, But Darlie and God!! SO calm down and be nice!
#17 Feb 24, 2010
darlie was not giving a fair trial, she was screwed. when you dont have money to back it up, no matter if its true or not, in the laws eyes its bs. it takes a whole lot of money to get the law to here you out and believe you. who ever saids different are liars. the law only cares about the money. the law is not always right, and this time thier not right. i think and believe darlie deserves a new trial, a fair one, and her freedom back. to marsha, how much money did the state of texas pay you to say darlie is guilty. well thier wrong and your wrong, and thats the gosple truth and you know darlie didnt kill her children. you,re just a sell out.
#18 Feb 24, 2010
its nothing wrong toward darlie or drake, its toward marsha. im friends with darlie, and i dont like it someone saying she,s guilty. i respect darlie. your making it sound like im name calling darlie, are you trieing to cause between me and darlie. i swear i wasnt meaning it toward darlie, i was meaning it toward marsha.

#20 Feb 26, 2010
i hope drake gets to see his mom. i know darlie, she,s a good girl. the truth is darlie is the kind of person who anybody could get along with. a couple years ago me and darlie had a falling out, apparently i asked or said something or somethings i wish to god i wouldnt of said. i tried in everyway to get her forgiveness, but so far i failed at that. i did all i could do. but as the wise tail was told. theres use in cry,in over spilled milk. i still like darlie she is a good person. for those who think i was name calling darlie, your wrong. i respect darlie alot, and i have said wrongful things to her in the past. maybe she is right, i dont deserve a chance.

Many current data analysis techniques are beyond the reach of most managers and practitioners. Obscure maths and daunting algorithms have created an impassable chasm for problem solvers and decision makers. IJDATS bridges three gaps: firstly, a gap between academic ivory tower and the real world; secondly, a gap between quantitative data analysis techniques and qualitative data analysis techniques; and finally, a gap between a specific technique and an overall strategy.

Joe Jones: Painter of the American Scene
St. Louis-born artist Joe Jones (1909–1963) achieved national prominence in the 1930s for his depictions of urban and rural aspects of the American Scene. Opening October 10, 2010, this
special exhibition
of the artist's work will feature paintings, mural studies, drawings and prints, with a focus on his social and artistic experiences in St. Louis.
School program
In conjunction with the exhibition, groups in grades 7–12 are invited to participate in a program
Whose New Deal?
A collaboration between the Art Museum and the Missouri History Museum, the program will explore the period of the Great Depression and New Deal through history and art.
Museum Launches Partnership with Cole Elementary School
During the 2009–10 school year, the Saint Louis Public Schools invited the Saint Louis Art Museum to develop a partnership with Cole Elementary School. The result was a new program called "Observing Nature," which the Art Museum launched this spring with second, third, and fourth grade students from Cole.
The multi-visit program uses art, science, and communication skills to help students explore the native habitats of Forest Park, develop an awareness of their environment, and creatively observe and respond to the natural world around them.
New Activity Journal for Kids and Families
Are the Expert!
That's the theme of the Saint Louis Art Museum's new self-guided journal designed for kids and families to use when visiting the five member institutions of the St. Louis Zoo-Museum District (ZMD).
Developed as a collaboration between the Art Museum and the Missouri Botanical Garden, the Missouri History Museum, the Saint Louis Science Center, and the Saint Louis Zoo, this handy journal-scrapbook has been created to introduce visitors to these area institutions while they develop expertise in a variety of disciplines — history, art, and the sciences.
The Art Museum's Lauri Kramer designed the colorful journal, which will be presented to each partnership school in the Saint Louis Public Schools to support their visits to ZMD institutions. The journal will also be distributed as a premium for Family Members at each institution. For more information email
Back-to-School Educator Open House Canceled
A much-anticipated event in the Museum's Teacher Programs calendar, the Back-to-School Educator Open House, has been canceled for this year. The Art Museum has embarked upon an extensive expansion project, as seen in this photo of the South façade. Because of the reduction in gallery space due to construction, we are unable to accommodate large groups of visitors and have been forced to cancel the Open House.
The Museum is committed to remaining open to the public during this time as well as continuing its education programming. Instead of holding the late July teacher reception, Teacher Programs will offer additional workshops throughout the 2010–2011 school year. Stay tuned to
for the upcoming schedule of teacher workshops!
2010 Master Teacher Summer Fellow Announced
The Saint Louis Art Museum is pleased to announce that Carla Tuetken has been named as the 2010 Master Teacher Summer Fellow.
Carla is a visual arts teacher at Hazelwood West High School in the Hazelwood School District. She has an extensive resume including more than fourteen years of professional teaching experience in kindergarten through high school.
Most recently, Carla joined the Museum's Teacher Advisory Group and taught a workshop on the art of assemblage during the Big Event in March.

The Protestant Reformation led to great changes in religious thought and practice, but the technological, social, and political changes that helped create it are far less well known. The University of Rochester will explore these issues and more April 8 through 10, with a symposium that features talks by influential church historian Diarmaid MacCulloch.
Titled "Reformations in Western Thought," the 2013 installment of the Ferrari Humanities Symposia looks at many of the advances associated with the 16th century movement and how they helped change disciplines ranging from medicine to education. "It's important for people to understand that political issues and religious conflicts that arose at that time continue to reverberate in our modern world," said Thomas DiPiero, dean for humanities and interdisciplinary studies. "So many current events show that conflicts and debates about science and religion are still very much with us."
The upcoming events include a keynote lecture by MacCulloch, professor of the history of the Church at the University of Oxford and a fellow of St. Cross College. His lecture, which starts at 4 p.m. on Wednesday, April 10, in the Hawkins-Carlson Room, is titled "Toleration in Reformation Europe: Laughter Versus Tidy-Mindedness." MacCulloch also will participate in a conversation on "The Role of Religion in Contemporary Culture" at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, April 9, at the Memorial Art Gallery. The conversation will be moderated by Russell Peck, the John Hall Deane Professor of English.
Established in 2012 by University Trustee Bernard Ferrari '70, '74M (MD) and his wife Linda Gaddis Ferrari, the symposia includes an annual lecture by a visiting senior scholar of humanistic thought with an emphasis on the Renaissance period, an intensive short course taught by faculty members from across the University, and focused study in reading groups. This year's topic builds off nine courses related to the reformation that were offered to University students in fall 2012. The courses were taught in fields including English, history, religion, and Spanish.

I've been wanting to try this artsy Valentine's craft from Parent Hacks for a while now. (I'm not ambitious enough to melt them down as per the instructions from the post Recycle Old Crayons Into New Shapes.)
Then one day I looked around the house and saw this:
Later in the week at the store I saw this:
So we put the crayons in a bucket with warm water, and peeled the labels off:
And chopped them up. (Turns out I cut the pieces too small. Next time I'll make them 1.5 - 2 cm, or about 1/2 inch, in length.)
The bits go in a silicone baking pan:
Pop it in the oven at 230 F for about 15 min (you can see some aren't quite melted yet). Tip: put the kitchen exhaust fan on and / or open a window to get fresh air into the room.
Let the whole thing cool and then pop them out!
Any rough edges can be smoothed down by rubbing across a piece of paper.
Just make sure that kids don't eat them!
