Polar Loop 2 is the stylish and waterproof activity tracker that makes you move. This elegant wristband tracks your daily activity and even sleep, motivating and guiding you towards better fitness and health.
Polar M400 is a stylish GPS running watch and daily activity tracker. It can help you be more active, break your records, and even find your way back from a run.
Tracks your daily activity at five intensity levels for 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and provides a complete picture of all of your activity. It counts your active time, daily burnt calories, steps, distance from steps and sleep.
It's based on the analyses of the frequency, intensity and regularity of your movements together with your physical information.
Intensity levels are:
You can also see how different activity intensities accumulate daily activity: the higher the intensity, the faster you'll reach your activity goal. Find more examples for low, medium and high intensity activities in Polar Flow app and web service.
We need physical activity to stay healthy. The Activity Goal helps and motivates you to stay active all day long. Your device tells you your daily Activity Goal and guides you on how to reach it. It's based on your personal details chosen level of activity and general health recommendations. The activity bar on your device fills up during the day based on the duration and intensity of your activity.
You can stay active at a moderate pace throughout the day or meet your goal faster with more intense activities. Your device helps you to reach your daily activity goal by giving practical guidance like ´walk for 50 minutes or jog for 20 minutes´. You can find more tips on how to reach your Activity Goal in the Polar Flow app and web service.
The foundation of Polar Activity Goal is in evidence-based physical activity guidelines which establish the minimal amount of physical activity needed to achieve important health benefits. The health benefits include healthy body weight, healthy bones, muscles and joints, psychological well-being, and reduced risk of certain diseases.
Includes the cumulative time you spend on your feet and on the move. In other words, low, medium and high intensity activities are considered Active Time. To get more active time, avoid sitting or break it up regularly with short walks.
Research has shown that both the reduced time spent inactive and breaks in inactivity have health associations. Replacing two hours of sitting per day by low intensity activity consumes calories equivalent to brisk walking for 30 minutes.
You can see the time spent on different intensity levels in the Polar Flow app and web service.
Your device counts your steps and the distance you walk during the day. Your steps are estimated based on the frequency, intensity and regularity of your wrist movements.
Stores all your daily physical activity. You can easily follow your daily and long-term physical activity in Polar Flow app and web service. The total active time is the cumulative time of body movements that are good for your body and health.
You will find detailed information in the Polar Flow app and web service, like time spent at different activity intensity levels, average of daily goal completion, calories burned and steps taken, amount of inactivity alerts and sleep time and quality.
Tracks all your active choices during the day and shows how they help you stay healthy. Strong scientific evidence exists on the numerous benefits of physical activity. Activity benefits include, e.g. heart health, muscle and bone health, stress reduction and sleep quality.
The Activity Benefit rewards you by giving you daily, weekly and monthly feedback, because the more regularly you move, the greater the health benefits. You can check up on how you're doing either from the Polar Flow app or web service.
Reminds you to get up and avoid sitting and standing still for too long – even on those days when you gain enough daily activity. Being inactive has a negative impact on your blood circulation, metabolism and energy expenditure.
After 55 minutes of being inactive your device gives you an Inactivity Alert which reminds you to add active breaks to your daily routines. If you continue being inactive for more than one hour, you will see an inactivity stamp in your daily activity data.
You won't get any Inactivity alerts during night time.
Your training computer automatically tracks the duration of your sleep and shows in the Polar Flow app and web service how restful your sleep has been.
Most adults do very well with eight hours of sleep, but sleep needs may vary from about six to nine hours. Your sleep needs are affected by several factors like individual characteristics, training load, mental stress, body's condition and possible sleep debt.
By following your sleeping patterns you can see if they're affected by any changes in your daily life and find the right balance of rest, daily activity and training.
An assessment of sleep quality relies on your wrist movements. The periods when you sleep peacefully and don't move a lot are calculated as restful sleep. The periods when you move and change your position are calculated as restless sleep.
Train for a running event with a personalized and adaptive running plan in Polar Flow. Choose one of four events, 5K, 10K, half marathon and marathon, and get a comprehensive training plan that fits you and your goals.
Depending on your choices and activity levels, you will receive a personal running program that can range from 9 to 15 weeks in length. Running Program also offers a base-building phase that can work for months before the start of the actual running plan.
Running Program gives you easy-to-follow instructions, motivational guidance and supportive exercises with video instructions that take the guesswork out of training.
During individual training sessions, compatible Polar products guide you in real-time. You can see your target heart rate zone and target duration and adjust your training for optimal results.
Heart rate (HR) is an excellent measure of exercise and your training intensity. In the human body heart rate is regulated to match the demands of the body and the environment. When exercise intensity increases, heart rate also increases to match the increased rate of energy expenditure and oxygen uptake.
Heart rate can be expressed as the absolute number of beats per minute (bpm) or as a percentage of your maximum heart rate (% HRmax) or heart rate reserve (% HRR). Absolute heart rate during training is not very informative on its own, but when it's expressed and interpreted in relation to HRmax or HRR it determines individual exercise intensity.
Your heart rate value in beats per minute (e.g. 125 bpm) is individual and cannot be compared to another person's value. A percentage of your maximum heart rate value on the other hand is comparable. For instance your friend may have a higher heart rate value in bpm, but the percentage of your individual HRmax can be the same. This means that you have the same relative training intensity.
Maximum heart rate (HRmax) is the highest number of heart beats per minute (bpm) during physical exertion. HRmax is individual and may somewhat decrease as you age. It sets the individual reference value for your training intensity and is used in the calculation of the default heart rate zones and many Polar Smart Coaching features.
An age-based HRmax is a rough estimate of your maximum heart rate, and it is used as default in most Polar training computers. The most reliable and safest way to determine your HRmax is to have it measured in a maximal laboratory test.
Provide an easy way to adjust and monitor the intensity of your training. By using hear rate zones you can also follow heart rate-based training programs. The default zones are based on your HRmax.
Different training intensities have different training benefits, for instance light intensity enhances basic aerobic endurance and hard intensity improves your body's ability to sustain high intensity exercise and your maximal oxygen uptake.
The default heart rate zones are divided into five intensity zones based on the percentage of your maximum heart rate:
You can define the zone limits yourself as you want. More detailed information about this can be found in the Polar Flow web service.
Keeps you training at certain intensity. With ZoneLock you can target and lock a specific training zone during your training session. When you are out of the preset heart rate/speed/pace or power zones, the training computer will give a visual and audio alarm.
A moving symbol in zone display in your training computer showing whether you are inside the pre-set or desired target zone. This feature helps you to reach the desired intensity/pace/speed targets.
Tells you in an easy way if the main effect of your training is fat burning or fitness improvement. EnergyPointer visually indicates the turning point between these two training effects.
Low intensity training has several health and performance benefits through increasing fat burning. Training in higher intensity improves cardiorespiratory fitness more effectively by, for example, strengthening your heart and increasing blood flow to muscles and lungs.
To calculate the EnergyPointer your training computer uses your heart rate and heart rate variability as well as your personal information including age, gender, height, weight, maximum heart rate and fitness level.
Estimates your aerobic fitness at rest without any exertion in just five minutes. The result, Polar OwnIndex, evaluates your maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) and tells on what aerobic fitness level you are compared with people of the same age and gender.
The test is based on resting heart rate, heart rate variability, gender, age, height, body weight and your self-assessment of the level of long-term physical activity. You can compare your value to the population norms, the average values of people of the same age and gender.
Polar Fitness Test can motivate you to start, maintain or increase physical exercise.
To be able to follow the progress, the test should always be carried out under the same conditions, meaning at the same time of day, in a peaceful environment, and following a light training day or a day of rest.
Calculates the number of calories burned based on your individual data: your weight, height, age, gender, HRmax, HRrest, VO2max, and the intensity of your training/activity.
Heart rate-based calorie calculation is used when heart rate is measured, and it measures burned calories the most accurately also in conditions like cycling or lifting weights. Activity-based calorie calculation is used in training computers and activity trackers, when heart rate is not available.
You can see the cumulative energy expenditure (in kilocalories, kcal) during exercise and total kilocalories of the session after exercise. You can also follow your total daily calories.
Helps you to understand how each training session benefits your fitness. It also gives you motivating feedback immediately after exercise. With the Training Benefit feature, you can make your training more varied by altering your training intensity and duration.
The Training Benefit feedback is based on exercise intensity and duration. It reads into how much time you spend and how many calories you burn in each intensity zone. You get a quick overview after each session and for more detailed feedback, you can either check your training file from your training computer or later in the Polar Flow app or web service.
Allows you to choose the sport relevant for your training from over a hundred Polar sports with sport-specific reports. You can get the most valuable information for you from your chosen sport.
All sport profiles are based on certain logic and the most common (endurance) sports are enhanced with Polar-specific multipliers affecting calorie and training load calculation.
You can choose and adjust your own favorite sports and define specific settings for each one in Polar Flow. In more advanced training computers you can get tailored views during your training and choose what data you want to follow during training, for instance heart rate or just speed and distance.
You can create training targets in Polar Flow and save them to your training diary or as favorites for later use. Sync your targets to your training device. You can set phased targets with heart rate or speed/pace guidance to create an interval workout or add simple training targets, such as 'burn 700 kcal cycling' or 'run 30 minutes'.
Your device will guide you throughout your training. You will get an alert on your device when you need to slow down or speed up to make sure your training goes as targeted.
After the training session you can analyze your result and compare it with your target in Polar Flow.
Stores your recent training files. Memory capacity and number of stored training files varies according to training computer and what and how much data is included in files (e.g. heart rate, GPS). Certain languages also affect the memory capacity.

Men's tennis to defend ranking against Lipscomb and Belmont
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (March 29, 2012) – Back in the Campell/ITA Men's Team Rankings for the first time in five weeks, the ETSU men's tennis team heads to Nashville, Tenn., for Atlantic Sun matches with Lipscomb and Belmont.
The Buccaneers make their first stop at the Huston-Marsh-Griffith Tennis Center on Friday to faceoff with Lipscomb, and wrap up the weekend on Saturday against Belmont at the Centennial Sportsplex. Both matches are scheduled to start at 2 p.m.
ETSU (6-8, 4-0 A-Sun) heads into Friday on a six-match winning streak. Following consecutive 4-3 losses to then No. 38 Nebraska and MTSU in mid-February, the Bucs found themselves at 0-8 before beginning the winning streak on Feb. 25 with a 6-1 win against Appalachian State. Since then, ETSU has defeated Tennessee Tech, Jacksonville, North Florida, then-No. 71 Stetson and Florida Gulf Coast.
Three of ETSU's four Atlantic Sun wins have come by way of a sweep. The Bucs started the conference season on the road by defeating Jacksonville, 7-0, and swept both Stetson and FGCU in last weekend's home matches. Due to rain, the Stetson match finished at 5-0 with ETSU leading the two unfinished matches at No. 1 and No. 6 singles.
Leading the Buccaneers through last weekend's victories was Sander Gille (Kuringen, Belgium). The senior went 2-0 at No. 2 singles to extend his winning streak to six, went 2-0 at No. 1 doubles and earned his second Atlantic Sun Player of the Week honors of the season. Gille's other recognition came the week of Feb. 15, as he joined former Buccaneer Grega Teraz and current teammate Jesus Bandres (Caracas, Venezuela) as the three Bucs to earn multiple A-Sun Player of the Week honors in the same season.
Lipscomb (6-7, 1-2 A-Sun) has had its last two conference matches decided by a single point. The Bison started A-Sun play with a 5-2 loss at Belmont and followed that with a 4-3 win at Mercer and a 4-3 loss to Kennesaw State.
Prior to the start of conference play, Lipscomb had won two-consecutive matches at home against Detroit and North Alabama. The Detroit victory came by way of another 4-3 result, while the Bison easily handled North Alabama, 7-0.
Belmont (6-9, 3-0 A-Sun) enters Friday as the only other undefeated team in A-Sun play. The Bruins began the conference season on March 17 in the win over Lipscomb, and earned a Georgia sweep last weekend with a 4-3 win against Mercer and a 6-1 defeat of Kennesaw State.
Henrique Norbiato has led Belmont through the spring season with an 11-4 dual record including a 3-0 mark in A-Sun action. Norbiato primarily plays at No. 2 singles, where he is 6-2, but also holds a 3-1 record at No. 3 and a 2-1 mark at No. 4. Fernando Mussolini is on the Bruins' longest active winning streak, having won his last six matches at the No. 4 position.
Last year, ETSU swept Belmont 7-0 and defeated Lipscomb 6-1 at the Buddy Hartsell Tennis Center.

The Walking Dead Hat
Pre-plague population of 1,102
- 6-panel, adjustable baseball cap
- Officially-licensed Walking Dead merchandise
- Let others wonder about your fish tank
Andrea: What's your secret?
The Governor: Really big walls.
- "Walk With Me"
Well, yeah. That's one of the town's secrets.
Woodbury. Seems like such a lovely, quaint oasis smack dab in the middle of an apocalypse. But you know what they say about when things seem to be too good to be true.
This 6-panel, adjustable, 100% Cotton baseball cap declares "Welcome to Woodbury" on the front. The details on this are exquisite for a freaking baseball cap. "Woodbury" is stitched on in red letters. The brown front panel and bill have "worn" spots where the red beneath is showing through. The back panels are a faded red. Has a brass slide, and the Walking Dead television logo is subtly woven into the strap so that you see it but it doesn't scream "I am merchandise advertising a television show!" Because that's lame.

Age? Location? Website?
I am 25 years old and live on the coast of southern Victoria, Australia. It's a fairly small town so i can ride my bike everywhere and the beach is at the end of my street. I have some work up at: http://www.andrewgordonbleeds.com/
Tell us a little bit about your work.
I usually draw pictures of childhood memories or stories I make up. Sometimes these get turned into paintings, which i enjoy, although I find the process a little slow compared with just drawing with pencil. Sometimes they have ideas about relationships, which people usually make their own interpretations on. And sometimes they don't have any meaning, but people still make interpretations which i like hearing about.
Describe your process for creating a new piece.
It usually starts as a pencil drawing, then gets drawn up onto a canvas. Sometimes I do 20 in a month then go for two months without painting at all. Often when the surf's good I get a little sidetracked.
Day job?
I work as a fisherman, which helps pay the bills. And is a nice break from the studio.
Best thing that happened to you this week?
My football team won. I learnt a new song on guitar. I had dinner with my Grandpa. And I had a fun surf this morning.
Tools of the trade?
Grey lead, acrylic, brush, paper, canvas.
The best and worse thing about Fecal Face?
I'm not sure of best and worst, but it's a good place to find some new artists. And i'm always interested in the studio visits...I love seeing other peoples work environments.

Elistism much?
Stack overflow is quite a good way of solving a lot of common problems that you come up against everyday.
Also solving problems in the "boring" way is probably the better way to do it.
Michael Jackson said in his 1975 Principles of Program Design:
Programmers… often take refuge in an understandable, but disastrous, inclination towards complexity and ingenuity in their work. Forbidden to design anything larger than a program, they respond by making that program intricate enough to challenge their professional skill.
There is nothing wrong with the "lowest common denominator" when that is all that you need.

Yemen: Women's union in Yemen slams clerics for issuing 'defamatory decree'
المصدر:Gulf News
A women's union in Yemen slammed a religious decree issued by a group of clerics earlier in July 2008, banning female participation in public life.
The Yemeni Women Union, a non-governmental organisation supported by the government, said the decree reduces the value and importance of the great role of women in building the society.
Quoting verses from Quran and Hadiths (the prophet's saying), they refuted the decree and proved that women have all the right to political life.
In a strongly worded statement, the union accused the clerics of defaming women.

I was looking forward Dr. Evazan but since I totally missed Walrus Man, what's the point...I am really at the end of this...after collecting from 1977-1985 and from 1995 to the present...I just think I'm done...very, very down on this whole thing.
I believe the biggest thing to blame is Hasbro's out-of-touch executive mentality that the majority of product is made to support current media. There is not enough interest from kids in owning every obscure Clone Wars character
Which obscure Clone Wars characters are we talking about? If there's one thing I'm not seeing, it's secondary or tertiary Clone Wars figures hanging around on pegs. Those actually seem to be selling just fine. If anything, I'd say there's pent-up demand for a lot of them and Hasbro would probably be able to coast for a year by reproducing a few of the tougher ones from 2010-on.

Can I bring a non-riding companion?
We welcome non-riding partners on our Retreats, but not on other trips.
What kind of assistance can riders expect on the road?
When you're riding you'll always have at least one ride guide on the road with the group (on Randonnées and Retreats there will be high guide-to-guest ratios, while on Raids, for example, there will be fewer guides). There will also be a mechanic with a full tool kit and spare parts not far away – usually in a support car behind the group. Your guides and mechanics will be able to help you out with ride food and drink, as well as local knowledge, first aid, a morale-boosting chat and – if necessary – a hand to push you up the hill if you've run out of energy. They'll do everything they can to keep you and your bike on the road but, if for any reason you can't make it to the end, they'll always make sure there's a seat in a vehicle so you get safely home.

Published January 13, 2015
The Brooklyn Nets mercifully end their eight-game road trip on Wednesday when they visit Quicken Loans Arena to meet the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The Nets are 4-3 on the sojourn that began on March 18. The record is good, but a tad misleading as Brooklyn has lost its last two. The Nets fell in Denver on Friday night, then lost by nine in Utah to the Jazz on Saturday.
"We're a little disappointed, especially after how well we played in Portland," said Deron Williams, referring to Wednesday's 19-point blowout of the Blazers. "That tends to happen in the last couple of a road trips like this."
Against the Jazz, the Nets shot a solid 52 percent from the floor, but allowed Utah to make 55.6 percent from the field and almost 59 percent from behind the 3-point line.
Brook Lopez led the Nets with 27 points. Williams had 21 and 11 assists and C.J. Watson added 22 off the bench. It was a good night for the Brooklyn reserves. The four second-stringers combined for 50 points.
The Nets have lost ground both in the race for the Atlantic Division title, and in the Eastern Conference playoff picture. They are five games behind the Knicks for the Atlantic crown and only one game ahead of the Atlanta Hawks for fifth.
The Cavaliers will miss the playoffs for the third straight season and have lost nine straight, including four in a row at home.
Even All-Star guard Kyrie Irving's return on Sunday couldn't help the struggling Cleveland franchise. The Cavs got creamed Sunday in New Orleans, then lost in Atlanta on Monday.
Against the Hawks, Irving sat to avoid a back-to-back. C.J. Miles couldn't go with a sore right ankle and rookie Dion Waiters has been shelved since March 18 with a strained knee.
Daniel Gibson was ejected before he hit the 10-minute mark in playing time, so the shorthanded Cavs couldn't compete with the Hawks, losing 102-94.
"I told our guys that we have to battle like that the rest of the season," said Cavs coach Byron Scott, referring to the adversity. "That's how we have to play. I told them I thought they played as hard as they could play tonight. They were very physical, and if we fight like that every night, we'll be okay."
Marreese Speights paced the Cavs with 23 points off the bench. Shaun Livingston, Tyler Zeller, Alonzo Gee and Wayne Ellington scored in double figures for Cleveland.
The Nets, who play three straight when they return to Brooklyn, have won both of this season's matchups and three straight over the Cavs. The Nets have taken three of their last four in Cleveland.

MiFID: Financial borders fall but small firms must beware
Minnows won't benefit much
Pan-European regulation of large sections of the financial services sector comes into force today, but the benefits of the system will largely pass smaller firms by, according to the British Banking Association (BBA).
The Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID) is a European Union directive aimed at allowing financial services firms to compete across Europe's borders. It says that financial services firms should be able to operate across Europe as long as they are accredited and regulated in their home country.
The UK is one of only three EU nations to have met the deadline for turning the Directive into law of 31 January 2007, and the law comes into force today.
The BBA warns, though, that only the bigger financial institutions will realistically benefit from the change. "Smaller financial institutions, particularly non-banks, will be less well-placed to derive any significant benefits from MiFID," said the organisation in a statement. "The high implementation costs needed to maximise their opportunities may exclude them from changes for the moment."
The BBA said the companies most likely to benefit are larger firms, who have an opportunity to increase the size and scope of their business.
"Large banks and exchanges are best placed to benefit for the coming changes. Many of them have followed the negotiations closely and have well-developed project teams in place. The bigger the bank, the lower proportionately are the implementation costs."
The change will affect all financial services firms offering services such as share trading and investment advice, whether they want to trade across Europe or not. Financial regulator the Financial Services Authority (FSA) is changing its Handbook of rules governing financial services to take account of the new law, which means that all firms subject to MiFID will have to change their practices.
According to the FSA, this includes firms such as investment banks, portfolio managers, stockbrokers and broker dealers, corporate finance firms, many futures and options firms and some commodities firms.
A recent survey revealed that 64 per cent of firms in the UK are struggling to cope with the demands of the new rules. Think tank JWG-IT said that that proportion of financial services firms are finding it hard to cope with requirements to keep records in a different way. The new rules demand that files are kept for five years after an event, and for the duration of the relationship with a client and sometimes longer.
The new law replaces laws deriving from the Investment Services Directive, which is being repealed.
Only the UK, Ireland and Romania have managed to meet the deadline of 31st January for implementing the Directive, though most others have implemented it since then. Spain and Poland will not be compliant before today's deadline, the European Commission has said.
The BBA said that the changeover to the new rules has already cost the financial services sector significant sums of money. "This week sees the culmination of many years of very hard bargaining by virtually everyone who has ever taken an interest in financial services," said BBA executive director for wholesale banking Micahel McKee. "The major European financial firms have already spent some years and millions of pounds preparing for this change, but as with all change there are likely to be some winners and losers."
McKee said that the UK was, though, better placed than most places to take advantage of the changes and the potential increase in the number of markets available to firms. "London is the world's financial capital – its concentration of expertise, experience and financial acumen put it in pole position to reap the benefits of this harmonisation in the future," said McKee. The BBA said that all is not lost for smaller firms. Those that embrace the change could benefit, it said. "Smaller banks will reap the best benefit from MiFID by using it to differentiate their service offerings from their competitors," said the BBA statement. "Private banks will, however, be pressed to combine the new regulatory requirements with their traditionally bespoke services to clients."

Lev Grossman's look at drone technology is the kind of surveillance that serves us well ["Drone Home"]. At the very least, there is cause to keep watching as domestic use takes off. But high-tech aerial surveillance over American soil is not new. In the summer of 1998, the FBI's Nightstalker aircraft was used to pursue three outlaw survivalists across hundreds of miles of Utah desert canyons. (They evaded it.) At that time, the Nightstalker program more or less flew under the public's radar. Its use in this case hardly challenged civil liberties; it was just one more tool in a desperate search that would expose hundreds of police and special forces troops to extreme peril. Nevertheless, the potential of technologies such as drones should be public knowledge, as well as who is using them and for what purpose. I hope Grossman and TIME will continue to keep us informed as drones come home.

Hey guys,Canadians, as nationals of a country allied with the US in a defense effort, can be hired and paid with federally appropriated funds and thereby qualify for positions in the judiciary. However, does anyone realistically know of any non-citizens who have succesfully received a decent clerkship position in the United States? As much as the idea of being a trailblazer appeals to me, I'm hesitant to sink a ton of time into this process if my chances are next to nill by virtue of my citizenship alone.Thanks!

On The Road Through Nothingness
It's rare to see a positive story about the Catholic Church in the mainstream media, especially in newer online-only publications like Slate, but Harold Fickett, a Godspy contributing editor, managed to publish an essay there recently about the Clear Creek Monastery, a new and growing contemplative Benedictine monastery in Kansas, and the wider story of how Catholic religious communities are attracting young people. It could be that the critical success of the three-hour documentary, Into Great Silence, which had a long run at Manhattan's Film Forum in 2007, left an impression on the editors. The appeal of that movie is captured in Harold's ending: "From its rich liturgical rites to the pastoral details of its life as a working farm, as the monks raise sheep, make furniture, tend their orchard, and care for a huge vegetable garden, Clear Creek is what a monastery is meant to be—a sign of paradise. Father Anderson says, 'We were only a bunch of bums, but by becoming nothing, you can be a part of something great.'" READ MORE >

JEFFERSON CITY, Tenn. - Carson-Newman College Athletics Director David Barger announced today that he will retire from fulltime service on April 30. The longest serving AD in the South Atlantic Conference (SAC), Barger will "for the foreseeable future" raise funds and friends for his alma mater on a part-time basis.
"Everything's good but the legs," said Barger, a 1970 C-N alumnus who was diagnosed with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy as an eight-year-old. Though not in pain or on medication - "whatsoever, other than maybe ibuprofen for soreness or normal stuff" - Barger is sure the time is right.
"I just can't do it full speed like I want to, like I have been able to, and I've always thought that should be the point when I try to find another way to help Carson-Newman," he stated.
When the subject comes to what he calls the D-word - "because we don't say disabled" - Barger's voice takes on a certain resolve. "I have always been competitive; always had an athletic mindset. I'm a pretty stubborn guy with a determined point of view."
C-N President Randall O'Brien shared Barger's decision with members of the Board of Trustees' executive committee during their regular spring meeting this morning. Committee members then acted on a motion that deemed Barger will receive emeritus status on May 1, putting him in a two-member club with Frosty Holt, who is credited with developing C-N's strong athletic tradition from 1929 until 1968.
"David's career at Carson-Newman has epitomized our motto of Truth, Beauty and Goodness," praised Dr. O'Brien. "His work here is a testament to his devotion to God and he demonstrates it daily through his commitment to our student-athletes, our mission, our coaches and staff, and to making the program vital and viable."
O'Brien championed Barger's more than five decades of C-N history as vital to future growth.
"David knows approximately 90 percent of our living athletic alumni, and knows who they played with, how they fared and what matters to them. I am excited that he wants to continue that commitment by raising support for our athletics program," the president said.
An accounting graduate and banking industry veteran, Barger joined C-N's athletic department in 1980, becoming the director of athletic promotions. After serving in that role for nine years, he was named the director of athletic development. He took over the operation's helm in 1990 when he replaced football coach Ken Sparks as AD.
During the year he spent between promotions and overseeing the entire program, Barger broke the century ceiling in 1990, raising more than $100K in a year.
"I have enjoyed administration and day-to-day operations, but I am looking forward to concentrating on helping coaches raise support for things they need," he said. "I see myself as setting the table by helping our coaches secure resources and keeping alumni and friends involved in our great athletic tradition."
As athletics director, Barger has used what he learned in promotions, fundraising and administration, plus lessons from the private sector as well. Within a year of becoming AD, Barger was involved in helping overhaul Holt Fieldhouse, including developing new office space and incorporating the 1960s structure to be part of the Maddox Student Activities Center.
Among other things of which he is most proud is navigating the locks and dams involved in transitioning between NAIA status and membership at the NCAA's Division II level through 1993 and 1994. "You know, there are a couple of years in there when you are becoming compliant with the NCAA's regulations while also being in good standing with the NAIA, so you're keeping two sets of rules simultaneously."
Barger is credited with building one of Division II's premier athletic programs with noted success in most of the 16 sports it fields, fostering a 20 percent increase in student-athletes and leading changes in gender equity.
"David's tenure includes balancing women's athletics with the men's program, which had a head start of some 95 years," said O'Brien. "That's been one of the great developments nationally and at Carson-Newman, thanks to David, because it's provided so many women the chance to compete and use their abilities as the springboard to a great education."
Barger's strong commitment to C-N predates his employment. Following graduation, he served as both vice president and president of the National Alumni Association and president of the Eagle Club. He also served as a member of the Alumni Executive Committee, member of the Board of Advisors and president of the Chattanooga alumni chapter. In 1978, the C-N letterman was presented the Eagle Club's Booster of the Year Award.
He is a Hall of Fame member at Chattanooga Red Bank High School and on February 27 will receive the Greater Chattanooga Sports Hall of Fame's Morgan-Morris Award, given to those who have overcome adversity and inspired others through sports.
Barger resides in Talbott with his wife, Malinda. They are faithful members of Manley Baptist Church where David serves as a deacon. They have three adult children and three grandchildren.

SAC Commissioner Patrick Britz on Barger's Retirement
"The South Atlantic Conference is in a better place today on many levels because of David's contributions. He has always been a prominent figure in leading this conference. We wish David the absolute best in retirement, but his shoes will be tough to fill."

The WebM Project announced the formation of this new initiative on its blog. Matt Frost, senior business product manager for the WebM Project, first details the wide industry support WebM currently enjoys. He also notes that the project is seeing more and more code contributions from individual contributors and independent implementations.
"We are pleased to now offer another way to contribute, through a licensing initiative that allows the community to help further support the WebM Project," Frost details, "Google, Matroska and the Xiph.Org Foundation make the components of WebM openly available on royalty-free terms. Today we're announcing the formation of the WebM Community Cross-License initiative with 17 founding members. Organizations that join the CCL agree to license patents they may have that are essential to WebM technologies to other members of the CCL."
That's an interesting idea, and clearly a thorough defensive move against any possible further actions by MPEG-LA. The MPEG-LA is led by a known patent troll, so it only makes for the WebM Project to set up a defensive perimeter. And it's a damn fine perimeter too, looking at the list of companies that have already joined the initiative:
- Cisco Systems
- Google Inc.
- HiSilicon Technologies (for itself and its parent, Huawei)
- LG Electronics
- Logitech
- Matroska
- MIPS Technologies
- Mozilla Corporation
- Opera Software
- Pantech
- Quanta Computer
- Samsung
- STMicroelectronics (for itself and its 50/50 joint venture, ST-Ericsson)
- Texas Instruments
- Verisilicon Holdings
- Xiph.org Foundation
There's some truly big names in there, like AMD, Logitech, LG, Samsung, and TI. If the MPEG-LA ever were to decide to make a move against WebM/VP8 (they say they've gotten patent submissions), they'd at least be facing a formidable foe. What's most interesting about this - and which could take some of the sting out of MPEG-LA's threats from the get-go - is that a few companies in the above list also happen to be licensors for H264, namely Cisco, LG and Samsung - not the smallest names either.
It wouldn't surprise me to see other companies join this initiative as well, since a royalty-free video codec simply makes very good business sense - especially as YouTube inches closer to a WebM-only future.
Of course, in an ideal world, we wouldn't need consortia like this, but as we know all too well, the world isn't ideal, and as long as governments are more interested in lining their own pockets instead of actually doing what's good for us, we'll have to deal with things like this.

Fashion Focus Chicago was off to a successful start with the Chicago Fashion Incubator (CFI) Show - but, it was time for a bit of competition. Enter: the InspireDesign Show presented by Mario Tricoci and vitaminwater® - also known as the Mario, Make Me a Model show. This runway event blends a bit of healthy competition and fashion into one all-out fashion fete. Five model finalists compete for a chance to win a contract with a top Chicago fashion agency, while talented designers showcase their collections for us to drool over. Sounds good to me.
Fashion Focus Chicago was off to a successful start with the Chicago Fashion Incubator (CFI) Show - but, it was time for a bit of competition. Enter: the InspireDesign Show presented by Mario Tricoci and vitaminwater® - also known as the Mario, Make Me a Model show. This runway event blends a bit of healthy competition and fashion into one all-out fashion fete. Five model finalists compete for a chance to win a contract with a top Chicago fashion agency, while talented designers showcase their collections for us to drool over. Sounds good to me.
The five model hopefuls:
The models competing for the contract walked in the show as their final challenge - right alongside the pros. Competing for the win were (see above - L to R): Juni Park, Lynn Tatge, Zachary Ross Alexandra Cangelosi and Mercedes Johnson - each hoping to be chosen as "Mario's Models." Showcased on the runway, were five stellar collections - and I have to say: from front row ... they all looked quite amazing. (So what? I'm bragging.) Check 'em out:
Inspired by what they considered a lack of accessible clothing both well designed and versatile enough to accommodate their wardrobe desires, Telo Dunne and Olivia Shanks launched Imaginary people in the fall of 2009. Their aim with Imaginary People is to make highly functional, versatile and elegant pieces that are as lovely to wear as they are to look at. They believe that wardrobe basics can be fashion forward. The line is built around a core collection of creatively reinvented wardrobe staples made of slinky jersey knits and comfy cotton blends that are carried cover and added to each season. The label's individual pieces stand strong on their own, pair cleverly with one another and complement the basics that most women already own.
Michelle Tan was interested in fashion design at an early age. She took her first sewing class when she was in fourth grade. After one sewing lesson, she designed her first outfit by using newspaper as pattern papers. After graduating with a bachelor's Degree in Fashion Design from International Academy of Technology and Designs in 1999, she took six months off to travel to Asia searching for fabrics and yarns for her first collection.
Michelle Tan launched her line under her name in Fall 2000. Tan's devotion to deconstruction and details has made her Chicago's fastest growing designer. In 2000 she won the Style Maker and Rule Breaker Award by Fashion Group International, and in 2001 she won the Marshal Field's Distinction Award and sold her line to Marshall Field's. Michelle Tan sells to over 60 stores across the US, Canada, and Japan. In June 2006 she opened her first flagship boutique in Wicker Park, and in 2010 opened her second boutique in Downtown Block 37.
Founded in 2009 by husband and wife team of Cheikh Lam and Sophie Lin. Lin, with a BFA from The School Of The Art Institute of Chicago was working in womenswear when she teamed up with her husband, Cheikh to create looks that are inspired by his longtime appreciation of European streetwear. J.Cheikh creates clothes that the contemporary gentleman would enjoy wearing on a daily basis. By updating classic pieces with surprising fabrication and color choices, J.Cheikh stands by the idea that men should have it all. There is no such thing as sacrificing style for comfort. J.Cheikh embodies both qualities, making the line unpretentiously luxurious.
Based in Chicago, the brand focuses on modernizing the fundamentals of classic menswear. The J.Cheikh team has always thought it important to support the local fashion and manufacturing community so the line is not only designed in Chicago, the materials are also sourced in the city and the manufacturing is also produced locally. J.Cheikh draws inspiration from the unique mix of European silhouettes with American ease. Each season fabric and color combinations are unexpected and sleek.
Created September 2000, Narcisse Designs, a couture fashion company, each artistic piece is handcrafted in order to make our customers feel glamorous and unique. Narcisse customers are fashion forward individuals who want to create a matchless impression. Our pieces are not products but investments, like art. If you buy a dress from Narcisse, you can wear it for years since each piece is custom made staying true to the "art" of couture not the trends of this years fashions. We create haute couture that is classically sensual and uninhibited and that is how we want our clients to feel.
Razor sharp silhouettes, slinky dramatic gowns with unique embellishments and defining details, shape Narcisse's Latest Collection. Luxurious fabrics, feathers and unique cuts make up the designs that have a reputation for being desirable with an edge. The latest Collection is being completed. Collection includes 14 new couture designs and our new luxury jewelry line debut.
Tatyana was born in Kiev, Ukraine, and in 1992, her family immigrated to America. She always loved the arts, movies, and fashion, but kept it to her, it was not a career option in the family. It was all inside though, brewing. Sewing was in her blood and her mother was a seamstress in Ukraine and worked in the factory, nothing glamorous. In 2003 Tatyana moved to Chicago, and met an artist that suggested to take up sewing and creating.
That is exactly what she did and started to nurture what she knew was her gift. In October 2009 she was the Fresh Face of Gen Art Chicago and after, she committed to herself to her fashion career full time. In August 2010, she moved to New York, to pursue her career further.
The collection is inspired by the timeless movie classic Casablanca meets reddoll. There is a balance between the styles and periods of time that Tatyana loves! The hand work that is involved in the process with the combination of high quality fabric makes this collection romantic and sophisticated.
After each of the fifty looks walked the runway, it was time for Mr. Mario Tricoci to announce the winner. Little did the audience know, Mario had a different plan in mind: two winners. (That tricky hair-loving man.) You could see the models' holding their breath as he talked and I can only imagine what they were saying in their heads as he continued to do so.
Mario Tricoci congratulates all of the contestants:
Soon enough - it was time to announce the winner...s. After a pause, Mr. Tricoci called Juni Park and Mercedes Johnson as the two that would share the title.
The winners: Juni Park and Mercedes Johnson:
(Is it bad that I wanted them to fight for the trophy? Ok, ok - I'll behave.)
The girls took an excited final walk down the runway - each clutching part of the trophy - and Mario kindly congratulated the other models. It was a gorgeous show to watch - and I would be upset with myself if I didn't mention the amazing producers: Jennifer Wisniewski and Lisa Marie McComb - who produced a beautifully flawless runway show. (Such pros!) Congratulations to all the models - especially the 2011 winners, Juni and Mercedes!
Truly another fantastic Fashion Focus Chicago event and great exposure for our Windy City - which proved true to its' name as we were rushed out into the night, where the fifty mile per hour winds awaited us.
Clearly Chicago doesn't care that my hair is always part of the outfit.
Mr. Tricoci watches as the models walk the runway:

Inspiration: Round Rugs
Round rugs are an unexpected counter to the more conventional rectangle. Just that unusual twist on the shape can enliven the experience of a room. Take a look:
The circular shape of the rugs in these examples offsets the rectalinear nature of floors, walls, openings, and much of the furniture. Additionally, in living rooms, the shape seems to enhance the coziness and intimacy of the seating arrangements.
Have you ever used a round rug in your home? Did you find it created a new dynamic that simply isn't achieved with a rectangle?

Three Cultures under One Roof
For the past several years, Israeli artist and curator Yael Katz Ben Shalom has devoted herself to two main themes: the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the trauma of the Holocaust.
In order to bring art to the people, she founded the association "Artneuland Tel Aviv" in 2002. Her goal is to facilitate artistic exchange, initially by means of video art and photographic works and later through scholarly projects and readings. The association organized for example a workshop in which employees from a high-tech company and the residents of a slum area took pictures of each other.
Ever since the second Intifada broke out, the Israeli-Palestinian dialogue has come to a halt. This situation prompted Katz Ben Shalom to invite German artists to participate as well, and she was soon able to interest Israeli art patrons in this new trialogue. She managed to find sponsors who for the first time financed a dialogue with the Germans. As Yael Katz Ben Shalom recounts:
"They tried to understand why Germans with their past history can play an especially important role in this trialogue. They donated money because they found that we were on the right track with our concept."
Escaping the spiral of violence
Many of the patrons had been disappointed by the progress made thus far in the Israeli-Palestinian dialogue. It was like a ping-pong game. "I am discouraged as well, because wars here always follow the same pattern: a campaign triggers a reaction, which in turn induces a new campaign, and so on," the artist explains. "A third partner can perhaps show us the way out of this spiral of violence."
Yael Katz Ben Shalom has been organizing art exhibitions in Germany for six years now. This is where she also filmed an encounter with Rochus Misch, the last living member of Adolf Hitler's SS bodyguards. In the film "Hitlers Leibwächter - Der letzte Zeuge" (Hitler's Bodyguards - The Last Witness) she tried to really listen to the stories told by the former Nazi.
Yael Katz Ben Shalom began to feel more and more at home in Berlin and decided to export her "Artneuland" to that city: "I had the idea of establishing an art space in Berlin dedicated to the trialogue between the three monotheistic cultures. I wasn't interested any longer in just dealing with the theme of Israel, but wanted to branch out to more global everyday issues."
This was the basis, for example, for the project "Geld und Schuld" (Money and Debt) or for "Nova Paranoia" – examining how through capitalism and terrorism a new illness became a societal phenomenon.
Schumannstrasse 18
When in Germany, Yael Katz Ben Shalom is constantly searching for traces of the past. For her 2000 installation "Made in Germany" she documented the history of the grounds of the "Topf und Söhne" company in Erfurt, which supplied the incinerators for the German extermination camps.
Her choice of the house at Schumannstrasse 18 in Berlin-Mitte for the Artneuland Gallery seemed suitable not only based on its location. It also embodies a chapter of German history: "It was important to me to find a historical place with which I feel a connection."
The house belonged to a Jewish family named Strassmann. The father was a prominent gynecologist and opened a private women's clinic there. Because of his Jewish background, he was unable to attain an executive post at the Charité hospital. In 1936 he was forced to sell his clinic and emigrate to the USA. "In a biography of the family that just came out, I learned that Strassmann was also an art collector," the gallery owner recounts.
Praise from the Syrian Ambassador
In the first exhibition Katz Ben Shalom organized at the Artneuland Gallery, titled "Videoland," 18 Israeli, Arab and German video artists discover new geographies in their short films.
In "Message from behind a Wall," German artist Agricola de Cologne filmed a section of the wall dividing the West Bank that had become a playground for Palestinian children. Palestinian artist Hannan Abu Hussein improvises using a pile of tiles in her short film "A Small Country with 2 Big Moustaches," which reflects her feelings on the physical and mental occupation by Israel and on the Palestinian patriarchy. For "The Dreamers" Dana Levy from Israel filmed Israelis and Palestinians describing their dreams – young people, children, prisoners and poets.
Yael Katz Ben Shalom's endeavor has already met with a positive response from Syria: the Syrian Ambassador to Germany, Hussein Omran, announced that he approved of the project.

Easy X-mas cards
Tonight little H. and I made a bunch of X-mas cards for the children at the local children's hospital - a great project initiated by a class parent.
We came up with several homemade cards. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to take pictures of them before they went in an envelope, except for this one, which I made earlier in the day. Very easy to make if you want to give this a try. All you need is a piece of vellum, some colorful sequins, card stock, some contrasting thread and a sewing machine...
Some of our other cards included fingerprinted moose and snowmen to which details were added using a felt tip marker (look here for inspiration), and a very cool Keith Haring inspired Christmas tree with presents and stars by little H.
Labels: DIY, holidays, kids projects, recipes

|Memorial plaque for my 1st cousin (2x removed), Vilas D. Parker.
MIA, presumed dead for over 43 years. Recovered in 1987.
So on this day, I'd like to point out some of the veterans that I am connected to. The list is not complete, so I'm sorry if I've forgotten someone. Out of respect for privacy, I'm not going to mention veterans still living, but I am still grateful for their service.
All gave some, some gave all. The list is after the jump.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Firecracker from appalling I echo what many others have said; this is a terribly cheap piece. I loved the new bebe sport blend because it didn't suffocate me like the original blend, but unlike my other sleek bebe sport pieces, this jacket is extremely thin and plastic-like. Even my fiance said he felt like he was holding a plastic toy. The zipper felt cheap as well, and I lost count of the number of hanging stray threads. Lastly, the fit is off. A bebe sport small is usually fitted and flattering on my 5'1" 33-24.5-35 frame, but I swam in this. I returned it along with the top and capris I bought to go with it. Such a shame because the colors are gorgeous.

Rated 5 out of 5 by cocoscho from Orchid: Pretty Color I got this jacket to match the dangerous pants. When I look at the orchid jacket on my computer screen, it looks lavender. Think more the color name given because it has a more rosy tone. I would keep the color in the pastel category. I got a medium and it fits great. It has a lot of stretch which is nice. I got a medium. I have a 34-DD bra size headed for DDD because I am 4 months pregnant and I am sure that this jacket will continue to accommodate my growth for a while due to the stretch. I am average height 5'6" and the jacket hits my hips at the same place as on the model but the sleeves come lower. Maybe 1-2" less wrist shows.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Furby from Not a true "Pink" color I have to admit that I was very disappointed in the "pink" color of this jacket. I was expecting a "true" pink, but it was an "orange" neon color. The color was not what was pictured online. The quality of the material was nice, but the color was too bright. So, I returned it. I also have this jacket in purple, which is a very nice color.

Rated 5 out of 5 by JustSelena from Gorgeous pink color I have to admit that I love pink, but when I wear this jacket, it looks like everybody around me loves this bright neon color - this is how many compliments I get on it! This jacket is true to size (I am 5'1, 34B, 97 lbs, and XS is a good fit). I agree that the fabric feels a little different from similar Bebe Sport jackets that I own, but I don't mind because the color is so pretty.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Sylvie from Beautiful Purple Color but Horrible Cheap Material I am so bummed. Learning lesson here is to listen to the other reviews when there's multiple people saying the same thing. 5 stars for the color purple-it's really pretty- but the material feels so cheap. The other bebe sport funnel jacket I have in blue was made in Guatemala and the material is 90% nylon 10% spandex it's much thicker quality and fits better. This one I just got literally feels like tissue paper, not soft at all. Looks so cheap.The new material is 80% nylon 20% spandex. The sizing is way different too the medium I have with the older material looks smaller than this newer one. Bebe needs to lower the price if they are going to start putting out cheaper material and I've been noticing that with all their clothes lately. I may just return this and just maybe when it's on clearance with additional 30% off I may reconsider.

Rated 2 out of 5 by CutieHoney from The size is bigger and the material is cheap!! I still like the style, however the material is very cheap and when I wore I smelt synthetic oil! The size is bigger then used to be, so xs was too big on me!! BEBE used to be my favorite store and had an excellent fit and the material was great too...now the quality has changed and the size has gotten bigger! Also some of the designs are not cute as used to be...BEBE, please re-consider this serious problem that can potentially lose many of long time customers! I love the old time BEBE, so please come back!!

It may not be 2013 yet, but we now know that the LA Galaxy will begin their quest for back-to-back-to-back MLS Cups against the Chicago Fire on March 3 at The Home Depot Center.
The match will be the earliest regular season game in club history, as it comes just a week ahead of the 2012 home opener against Real Salt Lake. LA is 8-6-3 in season openers and 2-2-1 when those games take place at The HDC.
At the moment, tickets for the match can be purchased by becoming a season ticket holder or by buying LA's holiday package, which includes the opener, any other two home games as well as the CONCACAF Champions League home fixture against Costa Rican side Herediano.
