Monica Merenda, operator of Los Compadres.
On the heels of the announcement that one of Phoenix’s oldest restaurants, Sing High Chop Suey House, was closing, another longtime Phoenix restaurant is set to close its doors this week.
Los Compadres has been serving homestyle Mexican food from its location on 7th Avenue in the Melrose District of Phoenix for 60 years. But Tuesday will be the last day its doors will be open.
The family’s other location of Los Compadres, on 19th and Northern avenues, will remain open, but the restaurants’ departure from the Melrose District will be felt — especially considering one of the franchise’s owners, David Valdivia, was instrumental in making that neighborhood what it is today.
But the family’s restaurant legacy in Arizona goes even further back, to the 1930s, when Josefina Picazo opened several other restaurants in the Miami and Globe area before coming to Phoenix to open Los Compadres in 1958.
The Show went out to the restaurant recently to talk to the fourth-generation family operator, David’s daughter Monica Merenda.

In April at the Critical Media Lab’s “Graduate XDM Exhibition” and in June at the “English + Innovation” event, we featured our radio installation, “Everybody’s Everybody’s Autobiography,” which aims to illuminate the imaginative and ethical encounters of radio in Gertrude Stein’s 1937 Everybody’s Autobiography. The installation remediates Everybody’s Autobiography as a multivocal, dynamic “radio text,” creatively imagining how Stein incorporates the aural/oral quality of radio into practices of listening and speaking in her own writing of the book. We retrofitted a 1931 Philco radio to play audio recordings of collaborators each reading a selected chapter. Participants at the installation can tune into a choice of eight “book stations” by turning the dial on the radio. Each “book station” is comprised of six chapters read by six separate collaborators. Above is a video demonstrating the radio installation.
The video, even at an hour long, can only show a small slice of the project and of all the voices that come in and out. But we hope this gives a glimpse of the different tonalities, inflections, giggles, sighs, sore throats, pronounciations, and struggles. “Everybody’s Everybody’s Autobiography” is for Philip’s dissertation chapter on Everybody’s Autobiography. The idea for the radio installation formed when encountering the lack of research on Stein and radio in contrast to the amount of research on her (mostly male) contemporaries. There was also the research problem/question of how do we foreground radio as a formal model in her writing. “Everybody’s Everybody’s Autobiography” was the solution. If Stein felt that she was filled with everybody while on the air, then we had to fill the text with everybody.
Both the process and the product of the radio installation was a creative and imaginative exercise to critically engage with the relationship between Stein and radio and the Modernist soundscape. But what we didn’t expect was the ways “Everybody’s Everybody’s Autobiography” demanded us to go out of our comfort zones: asking people to read and record themselves for an extended period of time; finding a place that sold old radios and then retrofitting one; using the wood and metal shop on campus; and the trial and error of programming. Research can be, at times, very isolating and removed from others. But this project gave us the very opposite of that.
The radio was purchased from a small vintage radio repair shop in downtown Kitchener named Merry Melodies. We were after a radio from the early 1930s to pair with the book , and began looking through the small but densely populated store.
We spotted what appeared to be a pretty old model on a high shelf. According to the owner, this particular radio – the one we ended up purchasing – was the oldest radio in the shop (a 1931 Philco). The radio was completely non-functioning when we purchased it, with a severed power cable, no speaker, and a number of missing tubes and components. Of course, this was perfect for our purposes and perhaps a bit confusing to the shop owner. Although the Philco radio may not have been encountered, its “cathedral” style shape was a popular aesthetic at the time and Stein would’ve likely encountered a model similar to our radio in the 1930s.
The next step was getting readers to read chapters from the book. The process was both easy and difficult. Whereas it was easy to recruit anyone to record the first couple of chapters or the last chapter, it was very difficult to find someone committed to reading Chapter 3 and Chapter 4 because it took approximately three hours and six hours to read respectively. But most of those who did record those long chapters recorded at home and in parts (twenty minutes a day or so). For other recordings, we held recording sessions that collaborators attended, or we set up recording appointments when our schedule didn’t quite match theirs. The recording devices were inconsistent––iphones, android phones, macbooks, podcast mic, regular mic––which created an inconsistent quality between recordings. This risky approach to recording, however, produced a very nice effect: some recordings sound “further away” or have a “weaker signal” than others, giving the recordings a radio feel.
The program we used for these collected audio recordings was written in the Max/MSP language. We managed the collected audio recordings of the 28 readers in order to play them back across 8 different channels. The three knobs of the radio are used to turn the program on or off, adjust the volume, and tune in to different “book stations.” The project is designed to operate as a traditional radio without having to broadcast signals. To add to this aesthetic choice, we also made static recordings from an old handheld radio that we used to swell in and out between channels or readers. So, if a listener were to stay on one channel they would hear the entirety of the book with a new reader taking over after every chapter.
As a result, we took many trips to several custom electronics shops and paid multiple visits to the wood shop in East Campus to adjust and re-adjust the radio so that the old and new parts would work in tandem. This enabled us to discreetly hide the custom electronics, knobs, and other components we needed to have the computer and radio communicating with one another. Once we started pulling apart the radio, it was fascinating to see the internal – and messy – workings and to begin infusing it with modern electronics. Although we took a digital approach to the project, the organization of the actual program was not unlike the complexity of the radio’s wires.
We wanted to ensure that the modern technology we were using didn’t necessarily erase the materiality of the radio and its components (wires and all). This digital approach is a hidden one on the surface, but the depth of the programming reveals a very complicated and sensitive structure that required a lot of tinkering and re-tinkering to get the radio to work (similar to working on a fully functioning radio). Once the infrastructure of the radio was created, the program allowed for some unique characteristics through its digitization – such as non-repetitive ways of sequencing chapters, and the ability to adjust the program based on environmental considerations.
“No problem, it was fun.” We were caught off guard when a lot of collaborators said these very words to us after we thanked them for reading. Even those who read for a total of 5-6 hours said this. The word “fun” isn’t normally encountered when people mention Stein, some people even responding as if Stein offends them. So it was refreshing and wonderful to hear that all collaborators found something that interested them or that they loved, even if some of them wouldn’t necessarily read her again.
And so we would like to thank all the collaborators and everybody else that was involved in the making of “Everybody’s Everybody’s Autobiography.” However, we would like to add that the project will never be “finished.” We are always open to adding more collaborators to the “aether” of the radio installation. As much as “Everybody’s Everybody’s Autobiography” is by Philip Miletic and Stephen Trothen, the radio itself––just as Stein’s text does––decenters the authorial presence as soon as the radio clicks on and the sound of everybody rushes in.

Famitsu.com reveals that the current-gen edition of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess will be available through online purchase only.
It has been a long, tough road for GameCube loyalists eagerly anticipating one of the system's last big titles, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. After causing huge lines at the 2005 Electronic Entertainment Expo, the game was noticeably AWOL from this year's E3, replaced instead by its Wii counterpart. Then Nintendo confirmed that the GameCube edition of the game, which had already been delayed, wouldn't release November 19 alongside the Wii version (and the Wii itself) as previously announced. Instead, the GameCube version was to follow some weeks later in December.
The winding saga of Twilight Princess' voyage to the GameCube took another twist today, as Famitsu.com is reporting that the Japanese current-gen edition of the title will be available only through online purchase from Nintendo's Web site. According to Famitsu.com, preorders for the title will begin November 6 in Japan, and the game will ship on or after December 2. The price, including tax, will be 6,800 yen, or about $57.
Nintendo of America representatives did not immediately respond to requests for comment and confirmation of the company's US launch plans for the GameCube Twilight Princess.

There’s an interesting commentary on The Inquirer today, positing the theory that Microsoft’s recent overtures towards open source are a sign of fear. It starts off discussing recent moves by Redmond to have its “shared-source” licenses approved by the OSI. Interesting stuff, especially the illustrations of how Microsoft’s licences are inherently incompatible with both the letter and spirit of open source.
Then the author delves into the ODF/OOXML debacle and Microsoft’s attempts to hang onto proprietary control over the file format in which people store their personal and business data. I mean, if you can’t access your data without using software from Microsoft, who really owns that data? You or Microsoft? And if Microsoft decides not to support that format in future, where does that leave you and your data?
Quite. But who are you sonny? Your byline is Egan Orion and Google finds a singer, song-writer by that name. Google also discovers the name is an anagram of Oregonian, that the afore-mentioned artiste has a blog called, the laughing penguin and just happens to be based in Seattle, Washington.
Now it starts to make sense. I mean, if you’re an open source advocate who just happens to live in Microsoft’s backyard, it would probably be desirable to retain a certain amount of anonymity. I mean, you never know when Steve Balmer will come knocking with chair in hand.

| This is knucking futs!
David Spade is one of my fave SNL stars and he's made better movies than the rest of his old pals (It's Pat, Coneheads and Master of Disguise are among the worst films ever made). I especially liked him as the voice of Kuzko in the Emperor's New Groove. Here he plays Dickie Roberts: (former) Child Star, a kid at the top, but a man at the bottom and absolutely desperate for a comeback.
His agent (John Lovitz) cannot find him any work outside of celebrity boxing, his girlfriend has dumped him and Dickie's main source of income is parking cars. You get the picture, he's a completely fallen star.
Rob Reiner has a role that Dickie would love to get his hands on but Rob wont touch him because it requires an actor who knows 'normal', someone who knows how to be an adult, someone who had a proper childhood. Desperate to get the part, Dickie hires an ordinary middle-class family (dedicated mum, workaholic dad, bullied son, wishful daughter) to look after him like proper parents.
Trouble naturally follows. But Dickie's hijinks lessen and his new family's tolerance increases. Yes, they do learn from each other and become better people (yadda yadda) but there is just so much fun and craziness along the way and some genuine character moments.
There are loads of celebrity cameos (Tom Arnold, Corey Feldman, Brendan Fraser, Dustin Diamond) and lots of biting satire and the movie industry but the bulk of the film relies upon Dickie learning family values and having fun with the kids, being a kid. Proof positive that he's still the best (former) SNL star.
The only bad thing I can mention is Adam Sandler's involvement as executive producer, something that seriously tarnishes the film and prevents it from having any real class.
The DVD is in great looking 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen with Dolby 5.1 sound and quite a few extras.
Fred "Rerun" Berry's final film.
Sam Finney: Go to sleep Dickie!
Leif Garrett tells Dickie that Reiner's new movie would be similar to when Frank Sinatra had a film career comeback and won the Oscar for "From Here To Eternity." When Sinatra did "From Here to Eternity" his acting career was still pretty fresh and did not do many films in the years prior. So, although his Oscar win was highly impressive, it was not a career revival.
At the very end of the credits, David Spade can be heard in voice-over, talking directly to the audience. Among other things, he encourages moviegoers to abandon their trash in their seats, and accuses someone in the audience of farting (then admits it was he).

From finding dolphins to gorgeous views, the Scottish highlands and coast are Britain's answer to Route 66.
Fancy a pretty special road trip? Well, there’s no need to book a flight to America just yet.
The UK has its own answer to world-famous Route 66, and it starts in Inverness.
The North Coast 500, AKA NC500, knits together existing roads to loop across the far north of Scotland on a 500-plus-mile jaunt around the Highlands.
If you take it at a casual pace, you can expect to spend a fab week exploring.
I recommend heading up the east coast first and travelling anticlockwise.
That way you can breeze through the less enticing eastern landscape and slow the pace for the west coast, where you’ll have your pick of the scenery. And the best way to see the NC500 is from a camper van.
In Scotland, camper vans can be parked in organised campsites and some car parks and lay-bys.
You’ll find great sites right on the beach, too, like Sands in Gairloch on the west coast, from £17 per night (Sandscaravanandcamping.co.uk) and Dornoch on the east coast, from £19 (Dornochcaravans.co.uk).
Hire swish campers in Inverness from Highland Campervans, from £695 per week (Highlandcampervans.com).
Windswept sandy beaches and cute fishing harbours run all the way up the east coast to John O’Groats.
We broke the journey north in Cromarty, one of the best places in Europe to do some land-based dolphin spotting.
Sadly, I had no luck from the beach, so I headed out with EcoVentures in an RIB (rigid inflatable boat). Captain Sarah sped us out into the Moray Firth, where we spotted more than a dozen dolphins and seabirds, and sailed back in with salty smiles on our faces.
The Wildlife Watch boat trip costs £29 per person for two hours (Ecoventures.co.uk).
From Cromarty, we crossed the Firth on a tiny two-car ferry. It costs £9.50 per car and only runs when the tide is right.
From here, it’s about two and a half hours to John O’Groats, and the perfect lunch stop is The River Bothy, a cute cottage in Berriedale with a counter full of home-made cakes and biscuits.
A haggis and cheese toastie costs £6.90 but, like most visitors, I spent more on cakes (Clementineandclove.com).
John O’Groats itself isn’t much more than a couple of hotels and a few souvenir shops, but don’t miss the photo op with the signpost telling you Land’s End is 874 miles away.
Seven miles further on is the Castle of Mey, which belonged to the Queen Mother.
It’s more family home than royal pile, with Fawlty Towers videos on the shelves and Prince Philip’s paintings on the walls. Guided tours cost £6.50 (Castleofmey.org.uk).
A few miles away is Dunnet Bay Distillers. Tastings of its Rock Rose Gin are free, though you’ll want to buy a bottle, £34 – it’s delicious (Dunnetbaydistillers.co.uk).
From here it’s eight miles to Dunnet Head, the most northerly point on mainland Britain (and it’s more atmospheric than John O’Groats).
Further west, you’ll find Scotland’s best beaches around Durness – not to mention the yummiest hot chocolate ever at Cocoa Mountain Cafe (Cocoamountain.co.uk).
As impressive as the north is, I think the west coast of Scotland is the most beautiful place in the world, and the stroll to Sandwood Bay will convince you, too.
The spectacular sands are backed by dunes and face the Atlantic.
It’s a four-mile walk from Blairmore, but it’s worth it to have this place to yourself.
An hour’s drive south, Kylesku Hotel has fresh crab and lobster, and the boat trip to see the UK’s highest waterfall departs from outside.
You’ll almost certainly see seals, too. Trips cost £25 (Kyleskuboattours.com).
Driving the NC500 this way round leaves the best for last.
The jaw-dropping journey out to the remote Applecross Peninsula is on the winding single track Bealach na Bà (the Gaelic translates as “the pass of the cattle”) and is said to be Britain’s steepest road climb. Swing round the hairpin bends for cracking views over the sea to Skye.
Stay for sunset, Scotland’s nightly show, and I reckon you’ll agree that this is the world’s best road trip. Take that, Route 66!

"ORMESBY, a parish in the wapentake and liberty of Langbargh; 6 miles W. of Guisborough. Ormesby hall is a neat modem mansion, situated upon a gentle rising eminence, at a little distance from the village, towards the south, and commands a pleasing prospect of the winding course of the river Tees, with a view of the sea, and the southern part of the county of Durham. The church, dedicated to St. Cuthbert (see Churches for photograph), stands near the mansion, and is a small, and very ancient structure; the living is a vicarage, in the patronage of the Archbishop of York. Here is a public school, supported by voluntary contributions. Population, 349.
The family of the Pennymans it is said, came from Saxony, before the conquest, and first settled in Kent. Sir William Pennyman of Marsk, was the first baronet, so created by Charles I. but we don't find them settled at Ormesby till the latter part of the reign of queen Elizabeth, when it appears they were in possession of the manors and principal estates here.
James Pennyman, Esq. was a loyalist in the time of King Charles I. and had a large sum levied upon him for his loyalty, by the sequestrators; to defray which, he was obliged to dispose of a part of his estate, at Ormesby; which was sold to Mr. Elwes, for the sum of £3,500. As a proof of the rapid improvement and advance in the value of landed property in England within 50 years, it may be remarked, that this estate was purchased about the year 1720. by Ralph Robinson, Esq. for the sum of £7,500. and, in the year 1770, was sold by his nephew, Marshall Robinson, Esq. to the late Sir James Pennyman, Bart. for the sum of £47,500.
The hall is a modern mansion, built by Mrs Pennyman, daughter of archbishop Wake. It is situated on an eminence, and commands a pleasing prospect of the mouth of the Tees, and the Sea."

Christiana Akande’s research interests include Educational Measurement, psychometrics and large scale assessment. Specifically, her research focuses on item response theory equating methods as it relates to multiple linking, evaluating item parameter Drift (IPD) and scale stability over time. She explores the conditions that threaten validity evidence for interpreting test scores and the consequences of basing high-stakes decisions on these scores. She has worked with Dr. David Miller as an assistant in program evaluations for National Science Foundation (NSF), Institute of Education Sciences (IES) and Veterans Affairs (VA) grants.
Christiana obtained a Bachelor’s degree in Sociology from the University of Benin, Nigeria in 2007. During her undergraduate years, she volunteered with some research teams for whom she performed duties like data collection and coordination of Focus Group Discussions. Upon graduation, she taught English Language and Verbal Reasoning at the elementary level for about a year. She also taught Business Studies, Mathematics, Economics and Principles of Accounts at the Middle and High school levels for about a year. Finally, she worked as a loan officer in the banking sector in Nigeria for eighteen months before joining the REM program at UF. She obtained her master’s in REM in 2015 and is currently in the doctoral program.
She is currently working on two papers about multiple linking and item parameter drift. Also, she is the current mayor of Tanglewood Village, UF Graduate and Family Housing. In 2014, she received the Certificate of Outstanding Academic Achievement Award from the UF International Center. In 2015, she received the Recognizing Outstanding Volunteers (ROV) Award as well as the International Honorary for Leaders in University Apartment Communities (IHLUAC) Award from UF department of Housing. Also in 2015, she received the Ralph D. Turlington Scholarship/Fellowship from the UF College of Education.

The Kingdom of Wu and Six Canal Towns of the Lower Yangtze River, China, are located to the south of the Yangtze River, near Lake Tai, approximately 60 km east of Shanghai, in a landscape shaped by crisscrossing waterways. Tourism was rapidly on the rise in these towns and the priority of these cities was on developing tourism, except for Xitang whose priority was the local population. Already, the rise of tourist movements was problematic. Dialogue on this issue was centred on the quality of the relationship between the six towns, on the vital links between new neighbourhoods and old centres, as well as on relationship between each town and its surrounding territory.
A programme was developed in 1999 to be implemented in phases over the course of several years. The first phase included preparatory assistance: verification by World Heritage Centre experts, within the framework of the France-UNESCO Cooperation Agreement and of the CNRVH (national centre for research on historic Chinese towns and cities), of the relevance of the choice of towns proposed for inscription on the World Heritage List. During the second phase, an architectural heritage protection plan was proposed for the town of Tongli (Jiangsu province). It was approved and endorsed by local, regional and national authorities in 2001. This methodology was then progressively extended to the five other towns by a team of Chinese experts. Furthermore, a workshop organised in the autumn of 2000 resulted in a joint charter, leading the mayors of the six towns to form a network, modelled on the Association nationale des Villes et Pays d'Art et d'Histoire (AVPAH), France’s association of cities and places of art and history. In 2001, a city-to-city programme focusing on preservation and tourism was established which encouraged a concerted approach to development between each of the towns.
In 1998, a UNESCO Chair on Geographic Information Systems (GIS) was established at the University of Nanjing. Following the work carried out on the Grand Canal in the town of Zhenjiang it was suggested to extend use of the GIS for management and protection of heritage to the Six Canal Towns of the Lower Yangtze River. An agreement was then signed with Tongji University, which had undertaken research on the project.

Newsweek has become an independent company from IBT Media (FKA Newsweek Media Group). There will be a brief transition period during which all of Newsweek operations will transition into a new company.
The companies have been working since March of this year to maximize the potential of each of the individual brands, providing them independence and freedom from each other to evolve and develop their individual strengths. Newsweek is a globally recognized heritage brand while the other brands are a dynamic sector centric group of properties.
As of September 14th 2018 the Newsweek brand will be operating as a stand-alone separate entity under the leadership of CEO Dev Pragad.
The remaining brands, including International Business Times, Medical Daily, Latin Times and Player One, will be operated separately under IBT Media Inc, with Johnathan Davis as CEO.

Panini America posted this photo online this weekend with a simple statement.
If you’ve read The Buzz this past week, then it’s not a surprise — but here are more details.
The card will be part of the 2016 Donruss Silhouettes insert series that’s primed for release in March. Why The Famous (San Diego) Chicken? Well, the pioneering mascot was included on a card in the 1982 Donruss set as well as in the 1983 and 1984 releases. The 2016 set will be taking a look back at the 1982 edition in a few ways.
It won’t be the first game-used memorabilia card for a mascot — it’s been done a handful of times in recent years — and if there is one (it looks likely) it won’t be the first autograph, either. Ten copies of the Chicken’s 1983 card were included as Recollection Collection buybacks in 2003 Donruss.
However, the potential for this memorabilia card might be unlike any other based on the contents of that box — and we’ll probably see the Chicken elsewhere in the Panini memorabilia lineup in other upcoming products based on that costume’s size, too.
Buzz can’t wait to see what hatches.

Lunch at Rouge Tomate. Love their decor! They even have a mini cranberry bog in the lounge!
On February 19, Mary and I attended a cool Gilt City event at the Yotel. It was a Benefit Cosmetics/Oscars launch party sponsored by Bailey’s. There were great cocktails, gift bags, makeovers and eyebrow waxes by Benefit. Sweet! We had to buy the ticket, but it included a $40 make-up certificate credit to purchase products at Benefit, so it was worth it. The hors d’ouvres were also to die for. They had chocolate ganache tartlets, caramel flan, sliders, empanadas and more. We had a blast.
Did I mention that I have a mild obsession with coffee? I actually used to dislike coffee, and only drank it during marathon study sessions in college, at night. I rarely drank coffee to “wake up,” as I actually preferred tea. I also never drank coffee black, it always had to be a latte. So what changed? Well, two years ago I dated someone who loved “good” coffee. He took me to some great coffeehouses and taught me that there’s more to coffee than Starbucks. He introduced me to cold-brew coffee at Joe. That was a pretty awesome turning point.
So now, I am somewhat of a coffee snob. I still have a lot to learn, but I appreciate good coffee and I drink it maybe 2-3 times a week. (You thought I was going to say “per day,” did you?) My favorite places are Stumptown Coffee at the Ace Hotel, Joe (Chelsea or Grand Central), Baked (Red Hook) and now, Gorilla Coffee. Yes, I even bought their thermos.
Gorilla coffee was awesome, because when I bought their $30 Klean Kanteen thermos, I asked the guy whether I would get a discount on the coffee. I didn’t exactly sweet talk him, but…he ended up giving me and my friend a free coffee each. Sweet! It’s the little things that make my day. Thanks, barista!
My pre-race meal: fried chicken at Willie May’s the day before . SO good. Top three fried chicken ever. The gravy stuff is buttered beans.
Lobster vindaloo. I don’t mess around with my pre-race meals.
It was every bit as delicious as it looks. Junoon was a beautiful restaurant too–I was a fan of the decor.
So I woke up at 6:30am so I could get to Washington Heights on time. It was an hour and 15 minutes away by train, but luckily I got there 30 minutes before the 9:00am start. I couldn’t warm up because it was 29F out! I huddled in a mass with the other runners at the start. It was my very first Coogan’s race in my 10 years of running NYRR races! I’m usually out of town or doing some other race that weekend. I was excited but nervous about the hilly course. I was wearing my Dashing Whippets jersey so I didn’t want to turn in a bad performance!
It was my first 5K race (distance-wise) in a long time, so I didn’t know what to expect. The course was hilly as promised, with an out-and-back starting at the New Balance Track and Field Center (The Armory), looping around Fort Tryon Park with stunning views of the Hudson river, and then looping back towards the start. I ran my little heart out. Even though it wasn’t super fast, I tried my best and I was hunched over at the finish line–my watch read 25:40, or 8:17 minutes/mile pace.
Another race in the books. I’m happy.
I reunited with some Whippets at the finish line, when suddenly I hear someone calling “Lisa!” I turn around and whaddaya know, it’s Dan P. from the Stuy track team! I ran track and cross country at Stuyvesant H.S., and the girls’ and guys’ teams were friendly with each other. We end up catching up over brunch at Coogan’s post-race, and then we say hello to Coach Mendes (the very same coach Dan had in H.S.) inside the Armory, since a track meet was going on at the same time, and then we also said hi to Laura, whose last name happens to be Coogan (no relation to the sports bar). I was teammates with Laura, and it was cool to bump into her as well.
The brunch at Coogan’s consisted of scrambled eggs, pastrami on rye, shepherd’s pie, and 100% Colombian Coffee. The coffee was surprisingly good.
As if running a 5K wasn’t enough, Dan and I then went rock climbing on a whim at Brooklyn Boulders. I love that place, and I never seem to have enough time to go. I bouldered for about 45 minutes. My legs were somewhat weak after the race, but I am getting a bit better at climbing the more I go.
In fact, I just bought a 5-pack of day passes at Brooklyn Boulders so I can work on my core strength and have more fun climbing. Cross training, here I come!
The outside of Brooklyn Boulders. I love it. It’s so Brooklyn.

On Tuesday, Rap Twitter decided it was time for another pedantic debate and argued for hours about the legacies of Nelly and Drake. Two Complex staffers weighed in on both sides of the aisle.
Zach Frydenlund: I’m not here to revise history and explain that Nelly was actually trash, because that’s not true. “Country Grammar” was the first song I ever downloaded on Napster. My mom knows every word to “Ride Wit Me.” The man is a legend.
With that said, let’s please slow down with the statements that Nelly was bigger at his peak than Drake is now. People are quick to bring up Nelly’s diamond status, which is nothing to balk at, but it ignores the fact that Drake is a streaming monster in 2017. The climate of the music industry is different now than it was in 2002. Artists don’t sell actual albums these days— streaming is the best way to gauge dominance. When you look at Drake, no one is streamed more on Spotify and Apple Music. Billions of streams between both for Views. That’s impressive no matter what you think of the album.
And as popular as Nelly was, another knock against him is the fact that he was never the top guy during his run. Drake, on the other hand, has progressed from the top rapper in the game to become a full-blown pop star and global icon. For better or worse, every single move Drake makes results in a headline and is talked about endlessly. Who he might be dating, in the studio with, roasting on Instagram, etc. The man’s reach is limitless. Consider this: Every single summer Drake summons thousands of people up to Canada for a music festival. His own festival. Love him or hate him, that’s real world impact, and a level of celebrity that Nelly never reached.
Finally, while Nelly’s hitmaking peak may have been greater than Drake’s, the St. Louis rapper can’t touch Aubrey when it comes to longevity. Country Grammar came out in 2000. Nellyville dropped in 2002. By 2004, when Nelly dropped his third and fourth albums, the run was already slowing down. Now compare that to Drake, who dropped “Best I Ever Had” eight years ago. Time flies and Drizzy is only getting stronger—at least in popularity. While all of the other points matter, the fact that Nelly didn’t dominate as long as Drake already has and will continue to do makes this debate a wrap.
Ross Scarano: As I understand it, yesterday’s argument was about which artist peaked higher, not about who’s career has been more impactful. Longevity isn’t relevant since we’re talking about single points on the line graphs of their careers. Using the stats at hand, we have Nelly’s first single, “Country Grammar,” peaking at No. 7, with 34 weeks on the chart. The album it came from went diamond (that’s ten million records sold), sat on the Billboard 200 album chart for 104 weeks. Five of those weeks were spent in the No. 1 spot. People bought this album like crazy. They bought it like my mom bought the Adele album: by arriving at the checkout of a human-run business with a physical object in hand, which they then acquired using legal tender in a transaction mediated by another human being.
obv this is reductive, but nelly got absolutely, unfathomably HUGE off of a distinct style. drake market tests himself to stay on top.
Statistics are murky, of course, thanks to payola and figurative inflation. And, as you pointed out, Drake streams exceptionally well. Great streams. Massive, beautiful streams. But we’re comparing apples to oranges. The channels available to become a star seventeen years ago—mired as they may have been by shady industry practices and questionable collusion—were limited. As this discussion ripped across the bullpen yesterday, our fearless leader made the point that it’s like comparing Ali and Tyson. In Ali’s day, if there are three TV stations, and Ali is fighting on one of them on Saturday, that’s a third of the market he’s (hypothetically) reaching. Tyson, like Drake, walks into the ring in a more fragmented media environment.
You talk about Drake generating headlines but the number of outlets to cover Nelly’s behavior in 2000 and 2001 was smaller, and the scope of Nelly of content generation was limited by real reporters with cameras and more physically-restricted gossip pipelines. But this means that a TRL appearance in 2000 meant exponentially more than a photo opportunity in 2017. Nelly was bigger because it was possible to be bigger. The peaks have been cropped now.
And finally, it’s proven that the ability to go diamond isn’t impossible in this day and age—just take a look at Adele. We’ve covered apples and oranges, now let’s talk about pears. Her 2015 album 25 went diamond. Just like her 2011 album 21. No matter how big a star Drake is, if the sales are there, the sales are there.

Edward Masen’s Friday nights are usually spent with his friend Mike at Rodney’s English Disco. The club itself doesn’t have much appeal to him, but the escape it presents him is just what he needs. On one night there, he meets Izzy—an enigmatic girl that fascinates him. A lookout point, Mandies, and Rock ‘N’ Roll set the stage for their unfolding story.
Right now, she can’t remember. He can’t forget or let go. Then, she fell in love fast and hard. So did he. Can the heart remember what the mind has forgotten? Edward can only hope.
Their first encounter is brief, minute, insignificant, forgettable. At least it should be. Edward and Bella live very different lives, but a chance encounter forces them to reexamine everything they thought they wanted.
The Edward and Bella from this fic are really different from the norm. Bella is cold compared to most fic Bellas. She clearly has some commitment issues, and is what one would call uptight. Edward in the other hand is a bit of a free spirit. He plays guitar at the subway station Bella goes to everyday to catch the train to her office.
At first she dismisses him completely, like a hobo who has no place in her organized life, but there’s just something about Edward that keeps her coming back. They both obviously have things to hide, and up to the point this fic is at, there’s tons of mystery about their respective pasts that have me quite intrigued.
I hope you give this fic a shot. 😀 It truly is something else!

This guided hike, one in a series of hikes in celebration of the 35th anniversary of the Open Space Division, will give you an opportunity to discover a less traveled site. Route 66 Open Space is located in the Four Hills area. Hikers will explore the Tijeras Arroyo and reminisce about Little Beaver Town, the historic theme park that was once located on the property. This is a moderate to strenuous hike.

I'm so proud of my hospital staff. For years we've seen so much wildlife, so many exotic pets, so many different animals. But we never used to care for snakes. Somehow all the lizards in the world would walk in our door, but if you didn't have legs, it just wasn't happening. Dr. Dasaro took care of everybody else, and things hummed along. We didn't even realize that we weren't inclusive.
Lately our very own Dr. Landry has expanded her horizons into herpetology. At first we were a little hesitant: here comes a snake! Will we like him? Will he like us?
It started out very easy - there was a tiny baby snake who wouldn't eat. Hunger we could understand. Starving we could understand. So he got fixed up, and went home to do well. That was satisfying. Maybe the snake field was going to be for us.
Time went on, and sure enough, we began to get on board. Yesterday a snake came in with the sniffles. By now, this sort of event was routine. But he was SO DARNED CUTE. Staff fell over themselves lining up for snake selfies with their new friend. Cute we could understand. Photos of our buddy circulated like wildfire through our staff, over the internet, on "snakes of instagram" (we already had a lively presence on "chickens of instagram"). This was new. We were excited about legless pets. We found them delightful, we hurt for them, we worried about them.
So I guess what this is about is common threads. Unusual pets, grouchy pets, homely pets: they will sooner or later have something that strikes a chord in your heart. The snake is hungry, the snake is lonely, the snake is ouchy. It's an amazing feeling of compassion and caring that rises up in our hearts. Not that we're ready quite yet to have our pet snake sleep in our bed, but maybe one of these days.

Dejan Nikolic, research assistant professor of medicinal chemistry and pharmacognosy at the University of Illinois at Chicago, has received an international early-career award for studies of plant medicinal chemistry.
The Arthur C. Neish Young Investigator Award is presented annually by the Phytochemical Society of North America.
Nikolic, who is also a co-investigator in the UIC/NIH Center for Botanical Dietary Supplements Research, was a featured speaker at the society’s annual meeting, recently held at Oregon State University.
Nikolic’s research focuses on botanical dietary supplements for women’s health. He utilizes modern liquid chromatophy-mass spectrometric approaches to determine the structure of active plant ingredients, their bioavailability, metabolic pathways and potential toxicity.
He also looks for active ingredients in clinical specimens collected from patients enrolled in clinical trials involving plant compounds.
His current research has focused on the phytochemistry of black cohosh, a popular dietary supplement for women seeking alternative treatments for menopausal symptoms. Nikolic and his colleagues recently discovered 73 different metabolites of black cohosh, many of which are new natural products.
The identified compounds belong to structural groups that include several classes of alkaloids, Nikolic said. “Alkaloids are among the most bioactive compounds found in plants, so discovering so many of these will certainly shed a lot of light on our understanding the pharmacological profile of black cohosh,” he said.
The society’s award is named in honor of Arthur C. Neish, who in the 1950s and 1960s was a pioneer in the synthesis and use of radiolabeled precursors. He was a major contributor to the field of plant natural product biosynthetic pathways.
Funds supporting the award were donated by the Phytochemical Society of North America, the National Science Research Council of Canada, Pfizer Corporation and private donors. The first Young Investigator awards were presented in 1999.

The Government of Jalisco, México, through the State Institute for the Elderly (IJAM, in Spanish), celebrates Guadalajara has been the first municipality of the metropolitan area to attend the invitation to be able to form a friendly metropolis with our seniors, from the guidelines proposed by the World Health Organization. We recognize the full willingness and leadership of the Municipal President, Mr. Ramiro Hernández García, to make this commitment a reality.
In accordance with the last census of population and housing, 2010, in Guadalajara live 178,100 people over the age of 60, accounting for 49.5 percent of all seniors who reside in the metropolitan area as a whole. Guadalajara is also the municipality that has highest rate of aging across the State: while in Jalisco there are 31 people over 65 for every 100 children under age 18, in Guadalajara this ratio is 50 seniors for every 100 children. Demographic ageing is not something that will happen in fifteen years here; it’s a reality that we reached.
What follows is listen to the voice of older adults, their experience of the city, needs, and the solutions proposed for the problems that coexist in their everyday life. This query will start in February and conclude it in March. This consultation will take place through focus groups, surveys in seven urban sub-districts of Guadalajara, through an internet portal and the use of virtual social networks, and in public squares in the city. The aim is to point us the path to follow toward the full friendliness of Guadalajara with their elders.

Christina Wodtke’s Designing the Viral App session at Interaction 09 described several patterns for accelerating viral adoption of Web services.
With social, people will do whatever makes sense in context. These are not rules but observations.
Behavior is a function of a person and his environment. We cannot control people but we do have power over the environment.
Make things frictionless: want to remove doubts that people have about doing things.
Privacy & virality oppose each other. If you go public by default, you need a way to let people go private.
Cannot make systems less complicated, can only move complexity around –to the user, designer, or the back-end.
Having things right at hand: people need to know what they should do. Prioritize what is on the page.
Asymmetric follow: do not need two-way connections to allow people to pay attention. Two way handshake makes for more compelling relevance. One way gives you broader reach.
Reciprocity: if someone gives you a gift, you will feel an urge to pay them back.
Targeted: who are the most useful people in a network –the connectors, mavens, salesman?
Group manager sets things up, organizes, and keep conversation going. Can provide tools for managers that are specific to them. Optimize for the people doing the heavy lifting.
Outreach: probably need to do some marketing. One of the best ways to do this is search engine optimization.
Can utilize network to aggregate what is most relevant based on popularity: most emailed, etc.
A checklist is a powerful way to make sure you accomplish your objectives.

"Weed hygiene practices in rural industries and public land management:" by Nicholas J. Gill, Sonia Graham et al.
Gill, N., Graham, S., Cross, R. & Taylor, E. (2018). Weed hygiene practices in rural industries and public land management: Variable knowledge, patchy implementation, inconsistent coordination. Journal of Environmental Management, 223 140-149.
Weed management science and practice largely focuses on eradicating, containing and reducing existing weed populations; the focus is on plants in situ. More recently, the redefinition of biosecurity to include weeds has seen greater attention paid to preventing the introduction of weeds to previously uninfested areas within countries. Thus weed hygiene has come to the fore, with a growing number of publications recommending a diverse range of practices to minimise the spread of weeds across farm, regional and state boundaries. Yet little is known about the uptake of weed hygiene practices. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the extent to which best practice weed hygiene is being implemented on, across and along private and public lands. Telephone interviews were conducted with 54 private and public land managers, weed contractors, and agricultural transport operators in New South Wales, Australia. Vehicle hygiene was commonly undertaken across all stakeholder groups when it was consistent with other goals, requirements or norms. Other practices, such as sequencing harvesting from least to most weedy paddocks or including weed hygiene clauses in contracts were often known, but rarely practiced because of the onerous labour and financial costs or concerns about social etiquette. Individual commitment to weed hygiene efforts were also undermined by intra and inter-organisational coordination challenges. Public debate and assessment are needed on the benefits and costs to society of weed hygiene compared to in situ weed control to determine where best to invest limited time and resources.

New York, New York: It has been sung about, cursed at, dug under, built up — and photographed more than any city in the world. The man behind the camera on this night -- Sept. 20, 1962 -- was Sam Falk, who had more than 20,000 photographs published in over 40 years at The Times. He had been everywhere, from the Arctic to the tropics, and had been up in jet fighters and down in nuclear-powered submarines. But his favorite subject was always New York.
Sam Falk, a pioneer in 35-millimeter photography at The Times, joined the staff in 1925 and during his career specialized in photographs of famous people and events.
In this image at dusk, looking west from around 42nd Street, the photographer captures midtown Manhattan aglow with a galaxy of points of lights and with the Empire State Building, left, and the Chrysler Building, center, standing tallest among the skyscrapers.

Florida Christian School in Miami put a few order forms on its website to make school supply shopping easier. Parents can purchase their children T-shirts bearing the school’s logo or some snugly winter wear. Or, for $120, they can buy them bullet-resistant panels designed to slip into their backpacks in case of a school shooting.
The nondenominational kindergarten through 12th grade school hasn’t been the scene of any gun violence, but its private security wants to be prepared just in case. The panel is a “tool” to help protect children in case of a horrific event, just like its sound-enabled surveillance cameras and active shooter drills, according to George Gulla, the school’s head of security.
“I’d rather be prepared for the worst than be stuck after saying ‘Wow, I wish we would’ve done that,’” Gulla told the Miami Herald.
The panel comes from Applied Fiber Concepts, a body armor company based in nearby Hialeah and owned by Alex Cejas, who has two children at the school. He attended one of Gulla’s active shooting drills last year and suggested the company make custom armor plates for students.
The slim panels, which weigh less than a pound, can slip easily in the students’ backpacks among their school books. They’re reportedly able to protect students from bullets such as a .44 Magnum or a .357 SIG, both pistol cartridges. Stopping rifle bullets would require heavier armor.
Students are taught to hold their backpacks containing the panels over their chests in case of an active shooters.
“We want to protect our students’ center mass,” Gulla said.
His company isn’t the only business marketing bulletproof “accessories” to schools in the aftermath of mass shootings across the county. Bullet Blocker, a Massachusetts company, began developing a range of products after the Virginia Tech massacre in 2007 that left 32 dead. The company’s products include bulletproof backpacks, fleeces, briefcases — and even binder inserts to place among loose-leaf paper.
After the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School mass shooting that killed 20 first-graders and six educators, Bullet Blocker saw a spike in bulletproof backpack sales — selling about 10,000 in three weeks, even though it normally sold 20 a week, Marketplace reported.
The focus isn’t only on backpacks. For instance, the University of Maryland Eastern Shore purchased hundreds of bulletproof whiteboards in 2013, as did the Minnesota Rocori School District, where a shooting left two students dead in 2003.
“It’s a writing tablet that doubles as a bulletproof shield,” university spokesman William Robinson told CNN Money.
Not everyone thinks buying students ballistic armor is the best way to protect them. School safety consultant Kenneth Trump is among the loudest voices decrying the practice.
For Florida Christian School, however, Gulla thinks the option to buy the backpack inserts might calm some parents.
“It’s out of the norm, but what is the norm?” he added.

Abstract: This thesis documents the construction of a performance project, At Last Sight, which was made with a group of undergraduates at University College Chester. The leader of that project is the same person as the writer of this thesis; this locates the act of writing as something embedded within the process of performance making. The writing forms an address to the unreliability of objective observational analysis. It does so through a resistance to those attempts at impartiality and detachment that might usually be expected in an academic investigation. In this case partiality and involvement are more than central to the investigative process, they form the very structure of enquiry. The body of this work was written at the same time as At Last Sight was being constructed, and the ideas encountered herein possess many of the rhythms of performance making. Space is both somewhere performance is made and an integral aspect of the made work. In a similar way the following chapters amount to more than the site where work has been recorded. In tracing the footprints that led to At Last Sight the thesis reveals itself as an element of that which is being traced. Where At Last Sight revealed the performers as the to-be-watched and also as the watchers, the study functions as the to-be-read and also as the reading. In this way the documentation becomes the documented. This notion of integration between the subject and its study runs through the thesis. Approaching performance analysis as something `other' creates a gap between it and its subject that can deny the best attempts to bring the two together. Approached in a less compartmentalised way the analysis is allowed to form an indivisible correspondence with the analysed. When the division between the act and the analysis is dissolved the documentation is able to exist as both fixed object and time-based event. Something of the fluidity of process is acknowledged and articulated in each of the sections presented.

University student Edith Burgess wrote to acting chancellor William G. Hastings noting that she takes classes with G.W. A. Luckey and he has never shown disloyalty.
In view of the fact that there seems to be a feeling that Dean Luckey is not quite up to the required standard in loyalty to this country, I herby wish to state that I am taking six hours work in his classes and that I have never detected anything that seemed to tend toward disloyalty in any sense. Indeed I have felt that his outspoken commendation of President Wilson and his management of the war, indicates that the Dean is above criticism and is a decided patriot.
Please note that this is written wholly upon my own initiation, because of a sense of justice and not from any suggestions from the individual most concerned.

The Global Perspectives on Leadership course was designed in response to ever increasing globalization, concerns regarding severe global disparity, and awareness of the need to educate our students about their responsibilities as global citizens. The Global Perspectives on Leadership course seeks to engage the University of Portland’s central tenets of teaching and learning, faith and formation, and service and leadership in multiple locations throughout the globe by encouraging critical consciousness through the engagement of students, educators, clergy, and community members with key areas of concern. We work within the framework in which university students are involved observers, socially engaged learners, and intercultural competent servant leaders who gain an understanding of fundamental human equality and help create lines of solidarity across geographic, economic, and cultural borders with concern for the common good. Fundamental to our purpose is the concept of multilateral reciprocity: all who are involved benefit mutually from the process and results of international service-learning. The Global Perspectives on Leadership course fosters these connections. The course is a direct extension of the Holy Cross mission that inculcates the virtue of zeal that emanates from a love for God, neighbor, and outreach in serving others, especially serving and standing in solidarity with the poor and marginalized throughout the globe.
The Global Perspectives Course is a collaboration of the Franz Center, Studies Abroad, and Carpe Diem Education.

Rebecca, a cousin of murder victim Jimma Reat, and Gatwec Dengpathot, a brother, meet with pastor Randall Golter during a period of mourning Thursday at the family's home in west Denver.
People mourn for Jimma Reat on Thursday at his family's west Denver home. A memorial is set for Saturday at Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Lakewood.
Jimma Reat’s murder last week in Denver was one more blow to a war-scarred community of Sudanese refugees still struggling to come to grips with the unsolved shooting death of Reat’s uncle four months ago.
The immigrants from the African country are frequently victims, said Project Education Sudan director Carol Rinehart.
As a group, Sudanese have experienced sadness and turmoil. An estimated 2 million people died in combat and from famine during the country’s 22-year civil war.
“This is a community that knows death. That doesn’t make it any easier,” said Jennifer Gueddiche, director of the ECDC African Community Center.
Reat’s family fled Sudan on foot, walking for months as they avoided bombs and wild animals, then spent five years in a refugee camp dreaming of a better life while eating little besides raw corn.
In Denver, there are opportunities that didn’t exist in Sudan, but the violence that is part of American society has been a shock, said Gatwec Dengpathot, 29, one of Reat’s brothers.
David Deng, who came to the United States in 2001, was shot in the neck and paralyzed from the waist down when two men robbed him as he returned to his Denver apartment one afternoon last June. When a friend called and told him of Reat’s death, the news hit him hard.
His sentiment is widely shared within the tight-knit community of refugees that numbers about 6,000, Gueddiche said.
The recent burst of violence began Dec. 26, when Reat’s uncle, Youn Malual, was shot and killed in the parking lot of his Arapahoe County apartment building.
A father of five, he was returning from his job as a bus mechanic when he was attacked. He had no enemies, said Dengpathot, who thinks Malual’s death was the result of someone’s road rage.
His killer hasn’t been caught. Denver police also are still seeking those involved in Reat’s death. The longer the killers stay free, the more likely they — or someone else — will hurt another person, said Reat’s uncle, Thomas Puot.
Authorities in Denver and Arapahoe County have said they have no reason to think the shootings of Mulual and Reat are related.
The investigation into Malual’s death is active, and investigators are working on “significant” leads, said Arapahoe County Sheriff Grayson Robinson.
Saunier said there is no indication that Reat’s death is gang-related.
The assailants, who appeared to be Latino, screamed racial epithets during the attack, said Reat’s brother, Ran James Pal, 25, who was driving that night.
That racial slurs would be part of the assault doesn’t surprise Isaac Bher, 32, who immigrated in 2001 and is now a U.S. citizen. Most Sudanese have skin that is darker than that of the average African-American.
He said he has been laughed at, called ugly and told to go back to where came from. A teenage girl once threatened to hit him with a rock, he said.
Adding to uneasiness among the Sudanese is the blunder of a Denver 911 operator, who told Reat, 25, his brothers and a friend to return to the alleged scene of the crime after an altercation with a car full of men who had hurled bottles at their car and waved a gun at them.
After they drove back to the scene to wait for a police officer, the men with whom they’d had the altercation returned and opened fire.
When the first police officers arrived, Pal was on the ground, holding his dying brother. Paramedics who responded had to pull him away.
While the investigation continues, members of the Sudanese community can’t help but think of the strife of their homeland and their shock at the violence they have experienced in the Denver area.
“We don’t want to live in fear,” Dengpathot said. “This brings up whole memories of war and fear.
• A memorial service for Jimma Reat is scheduled for 11 a.m. Saturday at Bethlehem Lutheran Church, 2100 N. Wadsworth Blvd. in Lakewood.
• Donations to the Jimma Reat Memorial Fund, 5842021080, can be sent to any Wells Fargo branch.

This topic describes how to view or configure the backup compression default server configuration option in SQL Server 2012 by using SQL Server Management Studio or Transact-SQL. The backup compression default option determines whether the server instance creates compressed backups by default. When SQL Server is installed, the backup compression default option is off.
Backup compression is not available in all editions of SQL Server. For more information, see Features Supported by the Editions of SQL Server 2012.
By default, compression significantly increases CPU usage, and the additional CPU consumed by the compression process might adversely impact concurrent operations. Therefore, you might want to create low-priority compressed backups in a session whose CPU usage is limited by Resource Governor. For more information, see Use Resource Governor to Limit CPU Usage by Backup Compression (Transact-SQL).
When you are creating an individual backup, configuring a log shipping configuration, or creating a maintenance plan, you can override the server-level default.
Backup compression is supported for both disk backup devices and tape backup devices.
If you are a member of the sysadmin or serveradmin fixed server role, you can also change the default setting by clicking the Compress backup box.
Copy and paste the following example into the query window and click Execute. This example queries the sys.configurations catalog view to determine the value for backup compression default. A value of 0 means that backup compression is off, and a value of 1 means that backup compression is enabled.
Copy and paste the following example into the query window and click Execute. This example shows how to use sp_configure to configure the server instance to create compressed backups by default.
For more information, see Server Configuration Options.

Leron Black scored a career-high 23 points and snatched eight rebounds Sunday, helping Illinois avoid an early season upset to UT Martin for a 77-74 victory.
Down by three with under a minute to go, the Skyhawks had two chances to tie the game but ultimately came up short.
"A lot of credit to Tennessee-Martin," coach Brad Underwood said. "They made a nice change at half time."
The Illini led by as much as 19, but the Skyhawks — led by Delfincko Bogan's 23 points and four rebounds — wouldn't go away easily.
Trailing 38-51, UT Martin went on an 11-0 run at the 15:30 mark of the second half, capped off by a lucky bankshot 3-pointer from Matthew Butler that cut the lead to four.
Illinois pushed the margin back up to 15 with 4:34 left, but UT Martin responded once again with a late-game 18-6 run. With 0.7 second left, Butler took a potential game-tying 3-pointer at the buzzer but airballed.
"I'm not one on moral victories, but I am proud of my guys," coach Anthony Stewart said. "I know if we have that kind of effort . we're going to be just fine."
The Illini started off much slower than in their season opener, missing seven of their first 10 shots. But Black found a rhythm early.
As he stepped onto the State Farm Court for the first time as Illinois' coach, Brad Underwood smiled broadly and pointed to fans in the Orange Krush student section.
He nailed the first basket of the game on a turnaround jumper from the free throw line, and finished the first half with 13 points on 5-6 shooting.
"(I'm) just trusting the system," Black said. "Trying to be in the right spots."
Freshman Mark Smith was Illinois' second leading scorer with 13 points.

Jesus expresses the anger, anguish and agony which characterise his relationship with Jerusalam and all it stands for.
What is motivating the Pharisees in verse 31?
Why would Herod want to kill Jesus?
What do you feel when Jesus calls Herod a fox?

The British view of Christmas is dominated by Luke’s version. It would be fun to begin to work out what aspects of the story we miss by including so little of what Matthew offers. This passage, however, always gets in. It is the eighth lesson in the cycle of nine used at King’s College, Cambridge. When I was Chaplain there, someone wrote in suggesting we were wrong to stop at the end of verse 11 – the traditional version. We felt that they were right, and if you listen carefully you will hear that it now ends with verse 12. As does this gospel reading for the Feast of the Epiphany.
7 Then Herod secretly called for the wise men and learned from them the exact time when the star had appeared. 8Then he sent them to Bethlehem, saying, ‘Go and search diligently for the child; and when you have found him, bring me word so that I may also go and pay him homage.’ 9When they had heard the king, they set out; and there, ahead of them, went the star that they had seen at its rising, until it stopped over the place where the child was. 10When they saw that the star had stopped, they were overwhelmed with joy. 11On entering the house, they saw the child with Mary his mother; and they knelt down and paid him homage. Then, opening their treasure-chests, they offered him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. 12And having been warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they left for their own country by another road.
What does Epiphany mean? How can you make people interested as you explain that?
Do you agree that it is better to end with verse 12 than verse 11? Why?
Why was Herod frightened? Can you build a sermon on the contrasts between wisdom and fear?
The word ‘homage’ is used three times in this brief passage. How does it make you feel on each occasion?
Sadly you know what happens next in this story: the slaughter of the innocents. What shadow does that cast over the treasure?
Is there journey you need to take – following some sign that is calling you forward?
How might your worship become more devout; your ‘homage’ more sincere and profound?
P.S. In my book Healing Agony: Re-imagining Forgiveness I have a chapter called ‘The Gifts of the Wise’. In it I describe the gifts needed by those who find themselves helping someone who has suffered a shattering hurt to move forward in the direction of forgiveness using the imagery of gold, frankincense and myrrh.
This is the death of John the Baptist. It is a grim story. This is the last story in which to expect to find Good News. The last story you expect to find in a Gospel. But there it is. It is not the whole story – but an integral part of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
This is not the one whom the wise men visited and then killed all the little children – but his son.
Some things seem to run in families. The police today talk of ‘high impact families’ which are usually multigenerational units of lawlessness. Abuse of power is learnt from parents… where does this thought lead you when thinking about the Herods?
that he should never have married Herodias. Most people turned a blind eye. But not John.
‘Doing a Nelson’ is sometimes wise. Sometimes it is cowardly. How can you be sure that turning a blind eye is a wise thing and not mere cowardice?
His wife and her daughter had conspired and asked for the death of John. Herod had been outwitted.
This is the same Herod who to be was glad to meet Jesus just before his death and who was thereafter reconciled with Pilate. A sociable man, curious about interesting religious figures and people of power… what do you make of that?
This seems to be the last duty of disciples. It is very reminiscent of what happens after Jesus’ death.
We hear no more of John’s disciples. What do you think became of them? Can you imagine them reflecting on all this as they heard of Jesus’ mission to Jerusalem and what happened there? What did they say to each other? What were their questions – and answers?

Michael Jordan and Wife Expecting Twin Girls!
Michael Jordan is one lucky man.
The legendary NBA player will be surrounded by beautiful ladies for a long time. E! News has confirmed that the celeb sports star is expecting identical twin girls in April with his wife, Yvette Prieto.
The pair first confirmed that they were expanding their family in late November. This will be the first child for the Cuban-American model and fourth child for the former Chicago Bulls star turned Charlotte Bobcats owner. He has three grown children with ex-wife Juanita Vanoy.
The former NBA star and the brunette beauty tied the knot in a lavish ceremony on Saturday, April 27 in Palm Beach, Fla., after five years of dating.
The couple made it official in front of a whopping 500 guests, who arrived on tour buses, at Episcopal church Bethesda-by-the Sea, according to People. The 50-year-old then invited another 1,500 friends to join in the celebrations at the Bears Club, in Jupiter, Florida, not far from his 38,000-square-foot home.

"NCIS: Los Angeles" quickly assumes much of the character of its title city: It's got the right moves and the right look, but we're not yet sure how much substance we'll find at the center.
Based on the way CBS turned "CSI" into a franchise, it's hardly a surprise the network would rush to see if "NCIS" holds the same gilded possibility.
But Tuesday night's premiere doesn't feel like it's quite there yet. The characters are good, not distinguished. The plot is functional, not inspired.
Like the original "NCIS" unit, whose season premiere Tuesday night at 8 leads into the spinoff, the L.A. team catches urgent cases involving national security. Like, say, Mexican drug cartels that may have infiltrated a U.S.-Mexican border security operation.
This new team is led by "G" Callen (Chris O'Donnell), who was severely injured in a shootout a year ago and is climbing back in the saddle. The question for his team is whether he'll still have his cool, and the question for viewers is whether a quiet character can generate the spark to keep a show lively.
His partner, Sam Hanna (LL Cool J), a former Navy Seal, seems to be more action-prone, which makes for a promising team. But LL, while he's come a long way from "Rock the Bells" and has considerable charisma, can't yet make a scene riveting all by himself.
Their team also includes Kensi Blye (Daniela Rush), who seems driven to prove herself, plus a computer wizard (Barrett Foa) and a resident psychologist who knows by looking at someone for 30 seconds if he or she is telling the truth.
No matter. Nate (Doc) Getz is played here with an appropriately droll touch by Peter Cambor.
Overboss Leon Vance, whom we mainly see on a video screen, is played by Rocky Carroll. But the best character tonight is Hetty (Linda Hunt), the gruff office manager with the heart of gold and a good set of brains besides.
The plot starts out feeling familiar and after two sharp left turns still feels familiar, which is a mark of just how many investigation shows we see these days.
Like all its kin, "NCIS: L.A." also flashes enough high-tech surveillance gadgetry that we have to wonder how crimes ever got solved at all before seeing-eye GPS systems.
It all adds up to an hour of decent entertainment, and there's room for enough character development to give "NCIS: Los Angeles" a personality of its own.
But a premiere episode shouldn't feel even a little like something we've already seen.

In light of upcoming revisions to Children’s Online Privacy Protection Rule, Jeff Jarvis, the author of Public Parts: How Sharing in the Digital Age Improves the Way We Work and Live, makes an intriguing argument: "Children need to play online, too. They should create and get credit for their creativity. They should be able to establish a relationship with an educational site where they can track their own progress. Technology and the net don’t just present danger; they afford opportunity. But by focusing only on the former, we can risk losing sight of the latter."
The Federal Trade Commission is recommending updates to the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), which sounds timely, wise, and worthy. But it is doing so blind to the impact and unintended consequences of its regulation.

Neurological examination of a lethargic, ataxic 12-week-old dobermann revealed decreased conscious proprioception in all its limbs. Haematological examination revealed a low platelet count. Cytological examination of a sample of cerebrospinal fluid revealed evidence of haemorrhage and chronic inflammation. The levels of von Willebrand's factor antigen were extremely low. Skull radiographs were consistent with mild hydrocephalus. Treatment resulted in little clinical improvement and the animal was euthanased. Post mortem examination of the brain revealed an internal hydrocephalus with haemorrhage into the ventricles. It was considered that the animal had suffered severe intracranial haemorrhage as a result of its low level of von Willebrand's factor antigen and that the bleeding may have been potentiated by the low platelet count.

Our journey to Yellowstone begins with a car full of gear, two kids, one mom and adventurous spirits ready for an awesome 4 day family Camping Vacation.
Mom~ The kids are old enough now to be a joy to travel with. Driving through the mountains was breathtaking and something I enjoy every time. I love the mountains. Beautiful… We had wonderful talks while on the road, about any and everything under the sun. The snowy mountains on entering the park were incredible. We had a safe trip to our quiet campsite.
Kayla~ I Loved my snacks, especially the vanilla wafers, along the way and got to sit in the front seat the whole way there. I loved it. I spotted the first prehistoric looking Pelican and the first Bison. We saw a baby Bison nursing her mom. Super sweet. Kaden made Wiggy the seal and Pongo the penguin dance to keep me entertained. What a good brother.
Kaden~ Travelling here with mom and Kayla was great! I loved it. I was the best at being the “Snack Man” during the trip, making sure Kayla and mom had the food they needed. I spotted the first Elk by the camp. It was huge and had velvet on his antlers still. I had fun getting the tent set up and settling in.
Side notes: The streams were fast moving with swift currents. We all loved watching the steam from the geysers on the trip down to our campsite at Bridge Bay.
Mom~ Journal entry: It thundered and rained last night. It was an amazing experience to hear the thunder roll across the vast sky and over Yellowstone Lake. The rain wasn’t for too long and the morning is divine. To wake up to fresh air, birds chirping and the sun on my face…perfect. The kids and I went for a quick walk last night to stretch our legs after being in the car for nine hours. Kaden looked over at me with a big smile on his face and said “We need to do this more often!” To see his face light up and be so happy was a burst of love to my heart. I need to have more memory making times with them before they move out. I look forward to the days journeys. It looks partly cloudy which is good. It would be great to have no rain. Now off to breakfast.
Our day started off with a great breakfast with lots of sunshine! We ate by the lake then took off across the park.
Kayla~ Seeing a coyote was great! It was what one animal on my list to see.
Kaden~ The Dragons Breath cave/geyser was awesome! I think I saw a bear in the woods. it was hard to see.
All~ We saw may Bison walking down the road! Called one of them Buddy. The stretch of road that had all the geysers is our favorite. The winds were very strong on our last stop just above Biscuit Basin. The winds felt like they held us up when we jumped in the air. Then the skies turned to gray…and it started to snow. Little did we know that our poor little tent was in for a rough ride. While we enjoyed “Old Faithful” and had a wonderful dinner with great food and service, the snow started to really come down. When we got back to camp we found our tend collapsed and covered in slushy snow. What a mess. We spent the next 40 minutes getting our tent upright, pulling it closer to some small trees, and covering it with a new tarp we bought at the general store. Thankfully, our blankets were dry. We snuggled in and got ready for the snow to continue to fly all night. We only had to kick our feet up from inside the tent two times to upright it while we slept. What an adventure!!
Day 3: Out to explore again!
All~ We woke up to snow falling all around us. We had breakfast by the lake and watched the snow fly sideways off the water and through the trees. We could not go to Lamar due to the road being closed because of the snowfall. So we visited some of our favorite sites. Still a wonderful day even though it snowed.
Kaden wanted to hike a little and stretch his legs. We decided to go for a hike at the Artists Paint spot. How amazing it was to get all the different views and get into the Back Country of Yellowstone.
Our dinner reservation was at Grant Village by the lake. We had a table right by the water and got to enjoy the scenery while we ate fabulous local foods. Bison burgers are the best, as was the Bison stroganoff. When we got back to camp it was no longer raining so we went for a walk. To our delight we saw 3 Elk right by the road. Two large males and one small male. One loved a stick and was throwing it around. The other loved the logs and kept chewing on them, and the small one loved the small trees. It was a great way to end the day.
Side notes by Kayla: Woke up to blizzard. tent only caved in twice. Less than 15 minutes on the road and we already spotted 2 Elk. Its super windy, especially by the lake! We are on the lookout for a bear. We want to climb the treehouse where we had dinner last night. Buffalo stood in the middle of the road, itching his face. We get exhausted quickly while hiking or walking due to the elevation. We played the Veggie Tales soundtrack in the car. We saw the Flying Pan! Its really stinky like a fart. Marmots make really loud noses. We also saw Roaring Mountain.
2 Elk, a herd of Bison, a flock of Geese, a Duck, 5 Geese, 2 herds of Bison, 1 herd of Bison, 2 lone Bison, 2 flocks of Geese, 1 Bison, to many buffalo to count!, 2 Elk, 3 Deer, 2 Eagles, 1 Raven, 1 Bird, 1 Snowman, 1 Elk, 1 Deer, 3 Marmots, 1 Weasel, 1 Black Bear!, 1 Hawk, 1 Deer, 5 Elk, many Ducks, 1 Elk, Gathering of Geese, 1 Big Elk in middle of road!

How Did We Get Here and What Is About To Happen?
Welcome to the Fall Classic. The World Series has arrived after an exciting run through the playoffs. The Kansas City Royals will face the New York Mets for the right to lift the Commissioner’s Trophy as the champion of Major League Baseball. The Kansas City Royals last won the World Series in 1985. The New York Mets last won the World Series in 1986. The championship drought for one of these teams is about to end after many, often painful, years.
So what has led us to this World Series? How have we navigated from the Wild Card games through the playoffs and finally to the World Series? The field has gone from 10 teams down to just 2 teams.
The Pirates were once again a formidable team during the regular season, but they fell short in the Wild Card game. Behind their young bats and Jake Arrieta’s complete game shutout, the Cubs showed they were the superior team, at least for one day when it mattered the most.
The New York Yankees coasted into the Wild Card game, and not in a good way. They struggled down the stretch and benefitted from early season success to make it into the playoffs. Unfortunately, they met the Houston Astros who were hungry and playing much better baseball. Each passing inning, the energy inside Yankee Stadium seemed to wane just a little more until reality could no longer be denied. Dallas Keuchel and the Astros bullpen shut down the Yankees line up and Houston rode the power of Colby Rasmus and Carlos Gomez into the ALDS.
The Mets and Dodgers alternated wins throughout the series. The turning point of the series was in Game 2 with the injury to Mets shortstop Ruben Tejada. The Mets ultimately lost Game 2, but Tejada’s injury rallied the team together. Tejada’s injury from Chase Utley’s “slide” could have derailed the Mets. Instead, behind their young pitching staff and Daniel Murphy the Mets would not quit. The Mets faced Clayton Kershaw and Zack Greinke in four of the five games and split those games. The Dodgers were beaten with their best pitchers on the mound by a team who refused to quit.
Game 1 showed how dominant the St. Louis Cardinals could be, and it brought back the memories of the Curse of the Billy Goat for Cubs fans. However, after Game 1, the Cubs took command of the series by winning the next three straight to eliminate the Cardinals. The Cubs did not run away with the series, winning the final three games by seven runs total, but St. Louis was never able to answer the Cubs offense. The Cardinals remained competitive but, after Game 1, it never felt like they had a chance.
The Texas Rangers jumped out to a two game lead, putting the Toronto Blue Jays on the brink of elimination. The Blue Jays, the presumptive favorite heading into the series, would not go quietly. Forcing a decisive Game 5 at the Rogers Centre in Toronto, the Blue Jays held a slim 3-2 lead heading into the 7th inning. In a bizarre moment, Rougned Odor scampered home to score the tying run after Russell Martin’s return throw to Blue Jays’ pitcher Aaron Sanchez hit the bat of Rangers’ outfielder Shin-Soo Choo, while Choo was still in the box. The Blue Jays responded in the bottom half of the 7th inning with a four run outburst, which included the now infamous Jose Bautista home run bat flip. This completed the comeback and Toronto was on to the ALCS.
The Kansas City Royals and Houston Astros went back and forth in the first four games of their ALDS. Neither team able to break the other team down and truly dominate a game. All this changed in Game 5, when the Royals’ experience and the Astros inexperience showed through. The Royals’ hitters finally broke down Houston’s pitching and were able to turn around a 2-0 deficit in the 2nd inning and turn it into a 7-2 victory. Simply put, the Royals used some of the knowledge and nerves from their 2014 World Series run to finally put away those pesky, overachieving Astros.
The Chicago Cubs did not lose the NLCS as much as the New York Mets won it. The Cubs never lead throughout the four game sweep. Daniel Murphy and the trio of Matt Harvey, Noah Syndergaard, and Jacob deGrom were magical, even when they did not have their best stuff. Jeurys Familia and Bartolo Colon were there to pick up the slack when the young arms needed a little help reaching the finish line. The Cubs simply lost to a better team, no Curse needed.
Games 1 and 2 showed the Royals were the better team. However, the Game 3 slugfest proved that the Blue Jays were not going to go down easy. Kansas City had batting practice in Game 4, winning 14-2 in Toronto. Toronto forced Game 6 with a 7-1 victory in Game 5. Back in Kansas City at Kauffman Stadium, the Blue Jays and Royals proved they were an even match. The margin of victory was Lorenzo Cain’s speed and Wade Davis’ tenacity. Cain scored from first on a single by Eric Hosmer in the bottom of the 8th inning, in part due to Jose Bautista not throwing to his cutoff man. The Royals took the lead and called on Wade Davis for a little more. Davis got two outs on eight pitches to end the Blue Jays’ 8th inning, waited through a 45 minute rain delay, then pitched the inning of his life. Davis got the final out with a fast runner on second and third by getting Josh Donaldson to ground out to third.
The 2015 World Series has the New York Mets playing against the Kansas City Royals. The National League champion New York Mets won the National League East division by 7 games, with a record of 90-72. Once in the playoffs, the Mets beat the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NLDS and the Chicago Cubs in the NLCS. The American League champion Kansas City Royals won the American League Central division by 12 games, with a record of 95-67. The Royals beat the Houston Astros in the ALDS and the Toronto Blue Jays in the ALCS.
Before the beginning of every season The Winning Run predicts how each team will finish, which teams will make the playoffs, and who will win the World Series. Each year we are horribly wrong about almost everything. It is with this understanding that we give our predictions about the World Series between the Kansas City Royals and the New York Mets.
*A note about our predictions for MVP, we did not allow Daniel Murphy to be selected because everyone would pick him. Therefore, we each have our secondary MVP prediction listed and collectively we have predicted Daniel Murphy for MVP.
Champion: Mets in 6 games.
Champion: Mets in 5 games.
Champion: Royals in 7 games.
Collectively, beyond Daniel Murphy for World Series MVP, we do not agree on much. We are split on which team will win. We believe the series will go six games. We predict that a baseball player for either the Mets or the Royals will win the MVP (this is the only prediction we feel we definitely got right). Our predictions are most likely wrong, as is our tradition, but we might get lucky this time. The 2014 World Series was fantastic, and the Royals are back for another try with a fairly young but experienced team. The Mets are playing beyond their years with a playoff pitching staff that has not been seen since the Atlanta Braves in the 1990’s. Regardless, whether we are right or wrong, we hope the 2015 World Series will be just as exciting as the 2014 edition of the Fall Classic.

http://www.JewishWorldReview.com | Democrats are happy because they believe Republicans are destroying themselves by shutting down the government over ObamaCare.
They are right. But so are the Democrats, and so is President Obama.
House Republicans need to stop the bleeding over their government shutdown. By letting things go this far, they are prejudicing their ability to do battle over the debt limit, which is far more favorable terrain for a GOP stand.
Republicans are not explaining their effort to delay the individual mandate properly. Most people do not understand that under their proposal, the insurance exchanges will remain open to all comers. Anyone who wants insurance can and will get it. The only change is that the Republicans want to delay the coercion that requires participation in the exchanges for a year.
The Republicans need to emphasize that they are not proposing any alteration in the Democratic goal of coverage for all who want it.
The only reason the Republican approach is not acceptable to the Senate and the president is that they worry that unless people have to sign up, they won't. They are concerned that their efforts to lower the cost of coverage won't be enough to entice the uninsured But the harm is not all one-sided. While former President Clinton gained points for being reasonable and looked strong during the shutdowns of 1995-96, Obama looks disengaged, detached, passive, weak and irrelevant. He looks like a lame duck as he goes golfing while the shutdown hangs in the balance. Clinton was passionately engaged, working the phones, negotiating daily with Republicans. Obama seems almost a spectator, cheering his side on like a fan not like a coach, much less a player.
Democrats will also find that the mayhem they predict from a shutdown won't be nearly as bad as the media predicts.
Inside the Beltway, lots of federal employees won't receive paychecks and the economy will suffer. But the Washington, D.C., metro area is one of the richest in the nation, courtesy of the American taxpayer. It can take it for a few days.
But a longer shutdown will wear the patience of public employees thin. It could cost Obama and the party lots of goodwill, and maybe endanger their chances of winning the Virginia governorship.
For the Republicans, the danger of the shutdown is that it reinforces the negative image that the party acquired in the days of the Clinton impeachment. They come across as implacable, unreasonable, inflexible, hair trigger, irresponsible and a touch immature. Certainly not ready for prime time.
But the big reason the Republicans need to end this fight quickly is that it imperils their ability to make a stand over the debt limit. Obama and the Democrats look good trying to keep the government open and functioning. But they will look bad begging for the ability to borrow more money. Their "buddy, can you spare a dime" affect will not help them nationally.
Obama can paint a dire picture of default, but the Republicans can counter by pointing out that there are more than enough tax revenues to avoid default. They can pass legislation requiring that debt service, military pay and Social Security be prioritized in the expenditure of tax money.
While a debt-limit shutdown will stop the government from borrowing $3 billion daily, it will not impair the tax collections of $10 billion daily, more than enough to meet those three obligations and then some.
As in a labor dispute in which a strike hurts both sides, let's end this nonsense, now.

The temperature is rising, the humidity is building and the Big Apple is preparing itself for another steamy two weeks at the US Open. The conditions in Flushing Meadows can be brutal and the scheduling is exhausting but Andy Murray – looking lean, tanned and fitter than ever – is ready for anything.
The world No 3 has played and won more matches than ever before as he approaches the last grand slam event of the season but his every moment in every day has been planned for this. Another push for a third grand slam title immediately followed by a Davis Cup semi-final against Australia (and, he hopes, a Davis Cup final at the end of the year) is driving him on.
When he lost to Roger Federer in Cincinnati ten days ago, he looked weary but he had cause to be – he had won the title in Montreal the week before and beaten Novak Djokovic to do so. The tiredness in his head and his legs was to be expected and recovery from that had already been factored into his schedule. As he looks towards his opening match against Nick Kyrgios tomorrow, he has never felt better prepared for a US Open. “It’s the most that I’ve played coming into a US Open probably in my life,” he said. “But I’ve also come in having hardly played at all and not felt great at the beginning of the tournament. I’ve felt quite nervous going into the tournament, and a bit agitated in the few days beforehand because I knew that I hadn’t played loads and didn’t feel great in my game whereas now, I feel very good in my game.
That win over Djokovic in Canada did wonders for his sense of well- being. After eight consecutive losses to the world No 1, including the Australian Open in January and the French Open semi-final a couple of months ago, a three-set, three-hour final win in stifling humidity was the final proof Murray needed that he was back to his best. Coming on the back of an opening round loss in Washington the week before, it was just the fillip he needed.
The last few weeks have also given Murray the chance to form a closer bond with Jonas Bjorkman, his main coach in the absence of Amelie Mauresmo, who is at home on maternity leave. The Swede has been a part of the team since the spring but it always takes time for everyone to get to know each other and their work habits. And Murray has discovered that if he thought he could be a bit fractious on court, his temper is as nothing compared to Bjorkman’s.
“He’s a pretty competitive guy,” Murray said. “He’s very competitive in practice, in any games. I don’t know if he was as competitive as me. He’s got a pretty bad temper as well. I’d say my temper is not as bad in practice as it is in matches. But he’s got a worse temper than me on the tennis court away from camera, I’d say. He’s a very positive guy. He came into the team with no ego at all. He wanted to learn and understand how we worked. He has asked a lot of questions so he could get to understand me better. I feel the last few weeks have been really, really positive because it takes time to develop a working relationship.
Presumably Mauresmo will be able to help with some advice on Murray’s impending fatherhood. She gave birth to her son on the day the Scot beat Djokovic, and while she texts Murray from time to time, tennis is not her priority at the moment. As for the soon-to-be dad, the only plans he has made is to stay at home this Christmas and train in London in order to spend more time with his wife, and to not be on the road in February when the baby is due.
All Murray does know is that tomorrow he faces Kyrgios, a man he has beaten three times out of three, and he could not be in better shape to win again.

She felt betrayed to learn that the creatures she has long appreciated are not the innocent, beneficial native species she always assumed that they were. The bad news came from a biologist and gardener friend of my mother’s, who heard an presentation on the damaging effects on hardwood forests of invasive earthworms at a recent conference. The expert, Cindy Hale, is a researcher at the University of Minnesota, Duluth, and she’s been studying the impacts of invasive earthworms since she completed her PhD on the issue in 2004.
Hale is not concerned with earthworms in gardens and farm fields, although they are not native to the Midwest. Earthworms do perform beneficial processes in the soil, and they were native and familiar to the European immigrants who settled and starting farming in the midwest. There are also earthworms species native to the southern US. However, when these exotic worms of European ancestry moved from the farm fields and gardens into the adjacent forest communities, that’s where they begin to wreck havoc. Havoc!
In a hardwood forest, like those in Northern Wisconsin and Minnesota, a thick organic layer of slowly decomposing leaf litter builds up on top of the soil. This litter layer provides a home for tree and shrub seedlings to send their first roots. Earthworms act as detritivores, eating organic litter and breaking it down. They act much fast than the natural decomposition processes mediated by fungi and bacteria in these forests, destroying the litter layer so that it can no longer serve as a supportive substrate for seedlings. When seedlings struggle to establish, it can change the long term dynamic of the forest ecosystem.
Most of the earthworms now found in the northern hardwood forests of Wisconsin and Minnesota were probably live bait, released by fisherman along the lake shore. Hale continues to study the patterns of earthworm invasion into new forest areas, and luckily, without human transport, the worms can’t cover that much ground very quickly. Fisherman are strongly encouraged not to dump leftover bait, to prevent further invasions.
It’s hard to believe that a species so familiar to me could be doing so much damage to forests I love, but Hale’s data is very convincing. Now, I just need to get in touch with her for an interview!

There will be a three month long room change opportunity after the initial room selection process ends. Beginning April 16, students are automatically entered to participate in a room change process that begins April 16 and ends August 1.
This room change option is at no risk. Students will keep their current room until they find a new desired location and select the space during the room change process. Once in this process, students can change rooms as many times as desired, up until August 1.
Can I hold a space for a friend that is transferring to OHIO?
Unfortunately, spaces cannot be held for students who have not yet been admitted to Ohio University.
Please contact Housing and Residence Life at housing@ohio.edu if you have a friend that is transferring in that you would like to room with.
Can I select a room and pull in a first-year student?
Unfortunately, due to our first year hall and second year hall configurations, incoming first year students are not eligible to be pulled in to a second year students space.
Transfer students are able to be pulled in by second year students, as long as the student is admitted and has completed their housing application and paid their deposit. You will be able to request the student as a roommate prior to selecting a room. As long as the roommate request is mutual, when you select a room you will pull the new student into the space with you.
Can I select into a room without a roommate request?
Yes, students can select into any room on campus with a vacancy. However, we do recommend that if you are selecting randomly into a double, triple, quad, or suite style space, that you look for rooms that already have a student that has selected into the space.
How are room selection lottery numbers determined?
Room selection lottery numbers are completely random. The decision to randomly assign selection dates/times was recommended by students and endorsed by Student Senate.
How can I select a mod with more than three desired roommate requests?
Students interested in residing in a mod style facility on South Green with more than three roommate requests or students of the opposite gender (wings of bedrooms will remain gender specific, with the exception of Gender Neutral Housing should send an email to Housing and Residence Life at housing@ohio.edu for additional details.
How does selecting a room with a group of roommates work?
Students within a mutual roommate group will each have a designated date and time to select a room. The student with the earliest date/time should complete the selection for the matched group. Once this student selects a room, all other roommate requests will be pulled into the room with the student selecting.
How will I know if a room has air conditioning?
During the selection process, the room type will indicate if the room includes air or if the room does not have air.
I am interested in Gender Neutral Housing, what should I do?
Applications for 1st round consideration are due prior to selection if you are interested in this community after the initial deadline we recommend you select a room elsewhere during room selection while your application is reviewed. If you do not participate in a room selection and are manually assigned you will be able to remain in that space until your application is processed. If you are selected for the GNH community, we will complete a room change for you into a GNH room at that time.
If you are wanting another student as your roommate, please be sure to indicate this on your GNH application. We can pair you together later. Roommates must complete an application as well.
More information on Gender Neutral Housing and the supplemental application can be found here.
Should I select a room if I am applying to become an RA?
Students applying to become a staff member (RA) should complete a housing application, pay the deposit, and select a room. For those students who are selected to become an RA, you will be reassigned into your staff room once you have officially been extended a position.
Should I select a room if I am interested in residing in a recognized fraternity or sorority?
Students wishing to reside in a recognized fraternity/sorority will need to complete a Greek Life exemption form beginning April 1, 2019 to determine eligibility.
The forms can on your Housing Self-Service. Once Housing and Residence Life receives notice from the Campus Involvement Center that you met the criteria, you will be released from the housing and dining charges.
Students who submit a housing application, pay a deposit, and then decide to reside in a recognized Greek house will receive a refund of the deposit as long as the request for exemption is made by May 1. Exemption requests received after this date will not be eligible for a deposit refund.
What about roommate groups of four people total?
Four person rooms (Adams, Bromley, Tanaka, Sowle, Luchs, Carr, and Front Four Buildings) typically will not remain available for selection past the first two days of the selection process.
The Convocation Center remains a hall for second year students as additional quad options.
Mod style facilities consisting of adjacent singles and doubles will be available to accommodate roommate groups with four people.
Students residing in Adams/Bromley/Carr/Sowle/Tanaka/Luchs are responsible for cleaning the bathrooms. Additionally, privacy locks are located on the inner side of the bathroom doors, but not located on the exterior side of the bathroom door, which allows access from one room to another through the connecting bathroom.
What if I choose the wrong room?
Immediately after selecting a room, your fall 2019-20 room selection will be listed on your Housing Self-Service overview and will be sent to your OHIO email account.
Students who inadvertently selected the wrong room can contact Housing & Residence Life on the same day to request their selection be cancelled (along with any roommates that were pulled in). Students will be entered back into the selection process within 48 business hours and must repeat the process of adding/confirming roommates prior to selecting another room.
What is the difference between 'Select a Room' and 'Select a Suite' in Housing Self-Service?
Rooms in Adams, Bromley, Carr, Luchs, Tanaka, Sowle, and mod style facilities have been “suited” so that the student selecting the room can determine who is in their room and who is in the adjacent room by selecting a suite.
For example, if there are four students who wish to live in adjacent singles in a mod style facility, the student would ‘Select a Suite’. By doing so, the student selecting can assign each student to a specific room in the predefined suite.
Why can't I see all of the rooms available in Housing Self-Service?
Students will only be able to view those rooms available on campus that can accommodate their entire roommate group and rooms corresponding to their genders. Additional options can be viewed by sub-grouping during the room selection process or breaking up your matched group.

I just want to say that I am back on Goo (finally), looking at the changes I clearly have a lot of catching up to do.
The reason for me going and so sudden is that my computer broke and to cut a long story short took a VERY long time for it to be sorted when I got my computer back (only recently) I had a lot of things to sort out as well.
I haven't forgotten OG or lava at all and as long as my computer behaves its self I will stay on hear I am not going anywhere else.
So sorry about all your troubles,Tim, and hope all works out well for you. Welcome back!

The first half of the slickly produced video shows scenes of businesses and neighborhoods crumbling and quotes President Obama accepting responsibility for the economy.
“I love these folks who say, ‘Well, this is Obama’s economy.’ That’s fine. Give it to me,” Mr. Obama says.
His statement is followed by a series of quick news reports about data released this month that showed the country created no new net jobs in August.
The second half of the video pivots to a gauzy America that would be “working again” as Mr. Perry declares his love for the country that he wants to lead.
Mr. Perry’s video apparently drew the attention of his chief rival for the Republican nomination, Mitt Romney, who quickly sought to compare the Texas governor — unfavorably — with Mr. Obama.
“Governor Perry criticizes President Obama for an economy that added zero jobs in August, yet Texas added even fewer and has over a million people unemployed,” said Andrea Saul, a spokeswoman for Mr. Romney.

Rufus lives with Minnie and has been spending a lot of time away from home for the past few months. Their slave has been worrying about where he has been especially when he was not seen for a week at the beginning of December 2010 when there was lots and lots of snow around. He is a collar refusenik.
On Tuesday 1st Feb 2011 she got a phone call. “Do you have a ginger cat?” “Yes, have you got bad news for me?” “No, he is safe and sound in our cattery” Major relief! It turns out that a neighbour thought he was a stray and was feeding him… When eventually he took Rufus to the rescue they scanned his chip and found his slave through her mobile phone number. Rufus is now an official time-share cat, and we keep tabs on where he is.
Max and Minnie aren’t meant to go out – except one hot summer evening when slave was recovering from major surgery she hadn’t shut the bedroom door properly and they went out. Minnie was home the next morning, Max wasn’t. Happily Max was found a couple of days later through leafleting, but had he ended up at a vets or rescue hopefully his chip would have brought him home.
There are also plenty of happy-ending stories on the Internet of cats and dogs reunited with worried owners, sometimes after months or years. The small one-off amount a chip costs becomes priceless if a lost pet comes home.

30 pany. Hypnotized by the mass-produc- tion mania, they discarded the best aero- nautical brains in America because of the hallucination that big executives could perform marvels in any field. When the government refused to be bothered with the three-a-day production of Mar- tin's plant, the bankers sold it and its equipment. Finding themselves shelved, Wright and Martin resigned from the company which bore their names. A few .1. 'nths later S. Livingston Mather, Alva Bradley, owner of the Cleveland Indians, and several other Cleveland capitalists decided to build planes as a contribution to the war effort. They backed Martin in a reorganized company, with a plant in Cleveland. In January, 1918, he went to Washington with his plans for a new bomber. This time he received attention. The mass production of planes by roadster and touring-car experts had not been going so well. In some of the giant new air- plane plants, automobile engineers were racing wildly about with airplane text- books in their hands, trying to end ter- rific manufacturing jams by studying up their references from moment to moment. There was no loss of faith in America's mass-production geniuses, but there was some bewilderment and consternation. Criticism of the govern- ment's failure to use the abilities of proved airplane builders was beginning to be heard. Probably by way of keep- ing him quiet, Washington gave Mar- tin an order to produce a few sampJe planes. Martin produced the first of his bombers in July, 1918, six months after he got the order, an unprecedented achievement. It was a twin-motor bi- plane carrying a bomb load of 1,500 pounds, the pioneer of the type which in 1 921 sank a battleship, a cruiser, a destroyer, and several submarines in General Billy Mitchell's experiment off the Virginia Capes. Nothing in its class had appeared on any front in the first World War. Had Martin been per- mitted to build it at an earlier date, it would have proved, in the opinion of many experts, the most important of new weapons except the tanks. Secretary of War Newton D. Baker, a great mili- tary man in many respects, had begun to suspect that something was radically wrong with automobile-bossed mass pro- duction. Martin received a large order for the new bomber, but it came too late. The first shipment was scheduled for December, a month after the armis- tice. France held in 1918, and the war was won without the use of American- designed planes in battle. The mass-production fiasco ended in a few courts-martial and a blistering re- port by Charles Evans Hughes. The nation had paid out some billions of dol- lars and many lives in order to buy the proverb that a shoemaker should stick to his last. One consolation prize is that the mistakes of the first World War became guideposts for the second. American air power is today being built up by airplane men. Though the big automotive plants have been convert- ed to aircraft production, aeronautical brains have played their part in directing the transformation. (r -J)/ .,!- I ;J - 0/ M ARTIN'S Cleveland backers had been interested in winning the war, not in establishing a permanent airplane business. After the war they believed that the world market was saturated. Thousands of second-hand planes in good condition were selling for two or three hundred dollars apiece. Rather than see the firm liquidated, Martin bought out his associates, becom- ing sole owner of his business for the second time. He was looking ahead to the time when there would be regular air- plane passenger travel. He was also con- vinced that the Army and Navy in the future would not stand pat on inferior equipment, in the light of the advanced types of planes which had been pioneered in the latter days of the war. He was right on both counts. As the demand for bombers and air liners in- creased, his business flour- ished. For many years Mar- tin had been his own chief test pilot, but he now be- came a kiwi, or flightless bird. He was able to obtain capital for expansion only after he had signed an agree- ment with his bankers that he would not fly or even en- ter a plane whose engine was running. This stipulation re- mained in force until four years ago, when the safety record of air liners caused the bankers to relent and permit Martin to travel by àir. Martin's idea that the aerial age was not ending but just starting was quick- ly vindicated. In a few years the demand for Martin bombers and other types was too great for his Cleveland plant and in 1929 he moved to a 1,260-acre site at Mid- dle River, near Baltimore. At a civic gathering in Bal- timore he predicted that he would be employing ten thousand men there within -..... ß lr ê. th... -... - - "Now, do we all want to con e to attentton?"

We speak, on average between 150 to 170 words per minute! And if my maths is correct that is 10,000 words per hour that is a whole lot of words!
We also speak 4 times faster than we type, and 7 times faster than we write, making a transcriptionists job a challenging one. Our professional transcriptionists can type between 80 to 100 words per minute (wpm). So a 1-hour recorded interview takes around 4 to 6 hours to fully transcribe.
Here is our view on why Transcription services are essential for todays’ business.
Capture everything – This is one of the biggest benefits of transcription, literally nothing is missed out. Every sentence, word, mumble or cough is recorded. The transcriber will ensure that everything is entirely accurate.
Transcription is a great tool for any business, it allows you to focus on your core business and reaching your goals and objectives instead of doing everything by yourself.

The complexity and specificity of many forms of signal transduction are widely suspected to require spatial microcompartmentation and dynamic modulation of the activities of signaling molecules, such as protein kinases, phosphatases and second messengers. We have developed a series of fluorescent biosensors to probe the compartmentalized signaling activities. In this talk, I will present studies where we combined genetically encoded fluorescent biosensors, superresolution imaging, mathematic modeling and targeted biochemical perturbations to probe the biochemical activity architecture of the cell.

SNAP plays a crucial role in helping workers in low-paying jobs afford a basic diet in Mississippi. Roughly 171,300 Mississippian workers live in households that participated in SNAP in the last year, Census data show.
Millions of Americans work in jobs with low wages, inconsistent schedules, and no benefits such as paid sick leave — all of which contribute to high turnover and spells of unemployment. Many of these workers get help putting food on the table through SNAP.
On behalf of JSRI, Dr. Kathleen Fitzergald studied the needs of low-wage workers in Mississippi, what the state is doing to address these needs, and what additional policies and programs can be implemented to address the myriad unmet needs of this vulnerable population. This report was prepare for OxFam America.
JSRI released the State of Working Mississippi Report to coincide with the recent Labor Day holiday. The report examples current and historical data related to wages, labor force participation, job market, education, assets and poverty in Mississippi. It also includes proposed policy solutions related to the findings. Please click HERE for a summary of the report's findings.
Dr. Sue Weishar is the lead JSRI liaison to Mississippi groups, assisted by other staff as appropriate.

Marcos Simoes-Costa has been honored by the World Economic Forum as one of its 2018 Young Scientists, which recognizes top researchers under age 40. Photo by Robert Barker / University Photography.
Assistant professor Marcos Simoes-Costa is among 50 scientists under the age of 40 named Young Scientists 2018 by the World Economic Forum.
The scientists, according to the WEF, are honored for their contributions to advancing the frontiers of science, engineering and technology. They are selected from all regions of the world and from a wide range of disciplines.
Simoes-Costa, assistant professor of molecular biology and genetics and a Nancy and Peter Meinig Family Investigator in the Life Sciences, focuses on decoding the molecular programs that control cell differentiation during embryonic development. To study this process, he investigates the genetic and molecular underpinnings of the formation and diversification of a stem-cell population called the neural crest that gives rise to diverse cell types such as nerve cells, bone and pigmented cells of the skin.
The WEF also recognized Cornell assistant professors Ilana Brito and Michael Niemack. The three will participate in the forum’s Annual Meeting of the New Champions, Sept. 18-20 in Tianjin, China. The event brings together more than 2,000 business and government leaders, as well as leaders from media, academia and civil society, to explore the influence of technological changes on global economic, political, societal and environmental challenges.

President Obama will not issue a pardon for former Alabama Governor Don Siegelman, the Justice Department announced today.
In a letter sent to attorney Gregory Craig, Pardon Attorney William Taylor II said Siegelman's petition for early release was "not warranted" and therefore denied.
"As a matter of well-established policy, we do not disclose the reasons for the decision in a pardon matter," the letter stated. "Under the Constitution, there is no appeal from this decision."
Siegelman, along with former Birmingham Mayor Larry Langford, had been petitioning the White House for early release as President Obama issues a wave of pardons and commutations during his final days in office. Obama granted 273 people commutations and pardons earlier this week and backers of both former Alabama lawmakers hoped the fellow Democrat would free Siegelman and Langford before his term ends at noon tomorrow.
The denial means Siegelman, 69, will remain behind bars until August of this year.
He was convicted in 2006 of charges related to selling a seat on a state health regulatory board to Richard Scrushy in exchange for a donation from the former HealthSouth CEO to the governor's statewide lottery campaign.
Langford, 70, is currently serving a 15-year sentence at a federal prison in Tennessee for his 2010 conviction on bribery and public corruption charges. He is scheduled to be released in May 2023, but supporters have cited his ill health in their calls for early release.
According to the letter, Siegelman will have to wait at least five years after his release to file for a Presidential pardon. A person must wait one year after a commutation is denied before submitting another request for early release.

The famous Mannerist Buontalenti Grotto in the Boboli Gardens.
Bernardo Buontalenti (Italian pronunciation: [berˈnardo ˌbwɔntaˈlɛnti]), byname of Bernardo Delle Girandole (c. 1531 – 25 or 26 June 1608), was an Italian stage designer, architect, theatrical designer, military engineer and artist.
Buontalenti was born in Florence.
He entered the service of the Medici as a youth and remained with them the rest of his life. He is said to have been instructed in painting by Salviati and Bronzino, in sculpture by Michelangelo Buonarroti, in architecture by Giorgio Vasari, and to have learned miniature painting under Giulio Clovio. He executed a number of miniatures for Francesco, the son of Cosimo I. More than a painter, he was celebrated as an architect; in this role he was much employed in the design of fortifications, villas, and gardens and is considered one of the most important architects of the Mannerist period. He was also a great mechanic, and an excellent mathematician. In 1562 he travelled to Spain.
His first known work is from 1568, the Palazzo di Bianca Cappello in Florence. His main achievements include the project for the new city of Livorno, the decoration of Palazzo Pitti and the Boboli Gardens with the famous grotto, as well as the Parco di Pratolino of which little remains today, except for a giant sculpture by Giambologna, representing the Colossus of the Apennines. Buontalenti's skills as a military engineer are shown by the fortifications of the port of Livorno, the Forte di Belvedere in Florence, the city walls of Pistoia, Grosseto, Prato, Portoferraio (Elba) and Naples; he also perfected designs for cannons, and devised a new type of incendiary grenade.
In the Uffizi Palace of Florence, he built a great court stage, where, during the winter of 1585–1586, splendid festivities were produced under his direction. He designed costumes for the Medici extravaganzas. He was also an innovator in ice conservation and is credited with inventing the precursor to modern Florentine cream.
Despite his successes, his prodigality led Buontalenti to financial ruin; he survived in his later life thanks to a pension given him by the Grand Duke of Tuscany.

Percussionist Markus Schwartz has been a key player in the naissance of the Haitian Jazz movement in New York City and beyond, and with "Tanbou Nan Lakou Brooklyn", Markus assembles some of the the brightest lights of the Haitian Jazz & Mizik Rasin (roots music) genres— along with several giants from the NYC jazz world. The result is an intoxicating blend of Vodou drums, Jazz and World music stylings.
From Haiti: Dadi Beaubrun (Boukman Eksperyans/Lataye), Eddy Francois (Boukman/Boukan Ginen), Erol Josue and James Germain, plus Haitian jazz artists Eddy Bourjolly (Mozayik), Buyu Ambroise (Blues in Red), Jean Caze & Jowee Omicil.
Born in Denmark, Markus Schwartz grew up in an American household surrounded by Jazz, and has devoted the last twenty years to learning the wealth and complexity of traditional Haitian religious music. Moving in and out of Haiti since the early 1990s, Markus followed the lead of Haitian percussionists on pilgrimages into the countryside to learn the intricate and powerful drumming styles of the various lakou—historic religious compounds—such as Badjo, Soukri and Souvenance.
Once settled in Brooklyn, Markus became a sought-after drummer at Haitian religious ceremonies, and was instrumental in creating the ground-breaking Haitian Jazz quintet Mozayik, bringing his informed arrangements of Vodou rhythms to Jazz versions of American standards, Haitian traditional songs and Mozayik’s original compositions. Markus has since recorded and/or performed with many of Haiti's finest musicians, including “Queen of Haitian Song” Emeline Michel and Hip-Hop superstar Wyclef Jean.
–Elizabeth McAlister, author, "Rara! Vodou Power and Performance in Haiti and its Diaspora", and producer, "Angels in the Mirror-Vodou Music of Haiti" & "Rhythms of Rapture: The Sacred Musics of Haitian Vodou."
Great work ! I enjoyed every cut on it. This album is a great tribute to Haitian Jazz. Haitian (aka Voodoo) Jazz should be here to stay.It is an integral part of what is called (sometimes erroneously) "Latin Jazz". Haitian Jazz should be right there with Cuban jazz, Brazilian Jazz, Peruvian Jazz etc ... Rara ( Haitian folkloric ) rhythms and jazz harmonies/improvisation is an explosive mix, and should be exploited by those who speak these two musical languages. This album definitely earned its place in that library.
Fourteen years after his solo debut “Simido”, percussionist Markus Schwartz delivers another astonished and complex album inspired mostly from his rich experience with the Haitian culture as a whole. Released on November 1st, 2008, “Tanbou Nan Lakou Brooklyn” represents another gem to add to the royal crown of the rich Haitian Musical Experience. The drummer/percussionist ventures down complex avenues and calls on old musician friends and Jazz talents from the New York/international jazz scene to put his ideas into acoustic sounds and expressive colors.
Flanked by an impressive cast of highly qualified musicians, Mr. Schwartz, meticulously assembled a collection of past experiences stamped by profound, comprehensive Lakou learning and a clear vision for a multi-form black musical language; an eclectic expression of the Black Diaspora. From a first look we might tend to doubt the effectiveness of such a choice. Putting so many talented musicians together to produce so many different pieces could lead to a different result than the one intended. But as we listen to this second opus from the co-founder of acclaimed Haitian Jazz band Mozayik, we simply marvel at the wondrous interaction by the entire roster of players, sans the intrusion of the cult of personality. The diverse aspect of the line-up is instrumental in this achievement.
KariJazz salutes the open character of this album as well. Every musician was provided a significant space to bestow elegant statements that enrich their already prosperous repertoire. Samba Erol Josue, one of our most beautiful voices, continued to reach new heights especially in both versions of the incantation “Sam Fè Moun Yo Bondye”.
The late Jean Claude Garoute, with a cavernous voice, preambles “Seremoni Tiga” and provokes goose bumps for the listener. This piece is a tribute to our late genius of the art. It later reveals an energetic jam between Omicil and Schwarz-Bart rocking their instruments over a funky environment provided by bassist Chico Boyers playing inside the Kavalye Ounto rhythm of Lakou Souvenance. The CD also reveals Markus as a multi-talented musician/vocalist in quest of a unique expression based on a systematic exploration of “Rasin” music associated with various percussive instruments (mbira, sekere, ect…), musical styles and forms. But there is a firm willingness to remain under the Haitian musical umbrella.
The result is a collection of diverse pieces expressing many influences ranging from incantation inspired from our religious patrimony, to straight ahead jazz. The Afro-Haitian Jazz Suite included within this mosaic of styles is beautifully done, especially the soothing Danbala with a lilt of Yanvalou, and the very inviting Cecia based on a refreshing Afro rhythm. The clarity Eddy Bourjolly evinces as he plays on Cecia, no doubt grounded at least in part in his experience playing with Markus for years, instills his playing with love and passion. Exceptional solos by Buyu Ambroise and Jean Caze on Danbala backed up by drummer Jeff Ballard and Ugonna Okegwo , one of the most distinctive and sought-after jazz bassists in the world. These solos are so well done that the listener might not even notice them. They form a cohesive ensemble within the piece. There is a flavor of “Blues in Red” in the rendition of Danbala. Well Done Guys!
This album is modern fusion of many different styles, but at the heart of every cut is pure Haiti. Markus has presented the essence of Haitian Rhythm and sensibility in all its variety. The Jazz and African influence never dilute, they only amplify the pure spirit of Haiti.

Out on the sun-punched plains of central Texas, sign painter Norma Jeanne Maloney has recently set up her Red Rider Studios at the end of Main Street in sleepy Taylor. For a few thousand bucks, Maloney rents her space, a 116-year-old mint green building resembling an old west saloon. While it’s only 35 miles outside of Austin’s hipster, artist enclave, it’s a world away. Transplants aren’t arriving in droves and driving up rents. Magazines aren’t featuring Taylor in “must visit” articles. And trendy agencies aren’t establishing satellite offices there.
While Taylor doesn’t have the hallmarks of a traditional design city power, Maloney has come to realize that Taylor is the perfect spot to pursue her art. In the process, she’s helping to dispel the myth that the only place for an artist to create is a loft in Brooklyn, a flat in London, or even a gallery in quickly-gentrifying Austin. In order to hand paint signs full-time and live comfortably, Maloney has hopscotched from San Francisco to Nashville before finally landing in the Texas countryside.
And yet, nothing about these moves is the result of Maloney giving up her dreams or lessening her standards. In fact, she is more successful than ever, as evidenced by being booked solid for the next four months. She has simply found a way to alleviate the concerns of many an artist — mostly the pressing financial ones — to fully focus on her craft. Now 53, she currently spends 11 hours a day at Red Rider making signs for the likes of BBQ pit masters, butcher shops, and tattoo parlors. It’s not that she doesn’t want to go home to her wife, she says, it’s just that she really loves painting signs. Reflecting on her 25-year career, Maloney discusses her own struggle with working for free to get a foot in the door, finding new clients with each move, taking a second job to support herself, and why an artist serious about their work should consider living anywhere to create.
What led you to becoming a sign painter?
I have been intrigued with typography since I was little and had a strange fascination with signs and album covers. I am an Army brat — my dad was in the military — so I grew up everywhere, including six years in Japan, and I would draw signs when other kids were out playing.
When I was 18, I lived in Kentucky, and I was re-lettering a storefront window for Singleton Upholstery with the wrong paint and the wrong brush. I was using a nylon brush and model paint, and I needed a lettering quill and one-shot lettering enamel. This gentleman came by on a bicycle and asked me if I was a sign painter. I said I wasn’t, and I didn’t want to be. He could see that I was struggling and he took the time to run back to his house to get me a brush and some paint, and he handed the new brush to me and said “try this.” It was night and day. It all made sense. I turned around to thank him and he was gone. He was a gift from God, is what I thought.
How did you turn your interest into a paying gig?
I started looking in the phone book for sign companies and got a lot of doors shut on me because there really wasn’t any hand-lettering going on in 1985 because the vinyl machine had come out. I found the Johnson Sign Company and they were still lettering stall card signs for thoroughbred sales by hand. I reached out and they hired me on the guise that I was going to hand-letter, but they ended up having me do a lot of vinyl, so I had to go rogue and sneak into the shop at 4 a.m. to practice hand-letting and prove myself. I would take the sign examples that the male painters had laying around, and I’d try to emulate that. Trial and lots of error.
In your late 20s you attended the College of California Arts and Crafts in San Francisco. What did you learn there?
The interesting thing about this design school: There was not a lot of teaching going on. I had good instructors, but they were working instructors so when they came to class it was almost as if, if you had a natural knack for it, you were elevated and praised and everyone else fell to the wayside. The student loans remind me all the time that I probably shouldn’t have gone at all. I didn’t really learn much about the craft there. It was all computers, and I kept moving myself towards doing things by hand. If I had to do it all over again, I would have researched trade schools, but I really did think in the beginning that I wanted to be a graphic designer and could sit in front of a computer all day.
You left San Francisco in 2001 because it was becoming unaffordable and you moved to Nashville. What was that like?
It was short-lived. There wasn’t a lot to paint, but I knew that the best way to do it was to go down to the honky tonks on lower Broadway where there were some hand-painted designs and try and redo the bad ones. I met Layla, the owner of Layla’s Bluegrass Inn, and I told her I would paint her sign for free. So I took three days for that job, and, while I was out on the street, I handed out business cards, which led me to painting every single honky tonk on lower Broadway. Then there wasn’t much left to paint.
Should someone work for free to get a foot in the door?
I really have a huge amount of disdain for people who say that an artist can hang their work in a coffee shop, or whatever the business is, in exchange for “exposure.” That is the biggest cop out for not paying people what they’re worth. In retrospect, when I look back on my career, I wish I would have drawn a harder line in the sand. I won’t work for free now, and I do not encourage anyone I know to do that. Giving your art away for free is a serious trap, because people will say, “You did it for them for free, why aren’t you doing that for me?” If you bank yourself as someone who works for less than nothing, you will never be able to charge what you’re worth.
In between Nashville and moving to Austin in the mid-2000s, you drove a commercial truck. Why?
I went through a really difficult break up, decided to leave Nashville, and moved in with my mother at the ripe age of 33. I always wanted to drive a truck, so I went to truck driving school, and became a truck driver. It gave me some time to reflect on my future. I hauled everything from Styrofoam to melons to meat across 48 states, and the experience gave me a broader artistic perspective. I got to visit a lot of states that I hadn’t been to, and that was inspiring. I didn’t have a TV in my cab, so I spent the nights drawing letter forms. It made me a better sign painter.
Were there other times in your career that you worked jobs outside of your wheelhouse to allow you to continue to make art?
When I moved to Austin, I had no clients. Starting from scratch was hard, and the economy was not so great in Austin 10 years ago. My first studio was out in the country, and, during the lean times, I painted houses to survive because I am handy with a brush and that kept me afloat. Then I moved my studio into the city and, almost immediately because of that exposure, I started getting some phone calls. My first real gig was with the Hotel Saint Cecilia, which is a Liz Lambert [a successful Austin businesswoman] venture. I got my name sent around by word of mouth after that. Sometimes it’s not what you know, but who you know.
Depending on the sign, it takes me anywhere from one to nine days to finish. Lettering a wall when it is 102 degrees requires tenacity. I start early and quit early — it’s not good to go out there and get heatstroke, which has happened to me a few times. I’ve only fallen off my ladder once when it collapsed underneath me. I was covered with red paint, but luckily I didn’t get seriously hurt.
You are booked for months with jobs. Have you ever considered speeding up your output by removing the hand-crafted element of the process and using a vinyl machine?
I would go back to driving a truck before I’d get a vinyl machine.
What is the difference between a good sign painting and a bad sign painting?
A lot of sign painters aren’t familiar with color theory, and I think it’s important to not paint directly out of the can. Colors have to be married with each other and, when I’m mixing colors, they have to have a little of the other in each of them. For example, if I’m painting a red sign with white lettering, I put a drop of red in the white to marry it, so it’s lovely and has an organic flow.
You’ve recently left Austin, where you have about 90 percent of your clients, and moved to the tiny town of Taylor 35 miles away. Why?
Austin is getting very expensive to be there, so I got a jump on it and started looking to move to a small town nearby. I liked the vibe in Taylor and got a space that is 2,300 sq. ft. with 25-feet high ceilings, with exposed brick and heat and air condition, which I didn’t have in Austin, for one-eighth of the price. It’s sad to see the musicians and the artists getting pushed out of Austin, but that is what comes with a thriving economy.
There is this ongoing tension between artists and affordability in cities and neighborhoods that they help invigorate. After moving around yourself, what would you tell a fellow artist who is feeling a similar pinch as you did?
If you are serious about what you do, you’ll live anywhere to create. Obviously, you want to show in galleries, but I have friends who live in Cleveland and they can easily make it to New York City to show in galleries. A lot of people sacrifice to create out of a place of pure desire. We live in a capitalistic society and when you grow up and tell someone you want to become an artist, they say, “That’s not realistic.” Well, why not?
You offer a paid apprenticeship for people who want to learn the art of sign painting. What makes an apprenticeship beneficial to a young artist?
Seeing it done. When you see someone who has been doing it for 25-plus years, you have someone there to guide you, and you learn. There really isn’t anything better. When someone comes to apprentice with me, I’d like them to make a two-year commitment and not work outside of Red Rider, because I think it takes that amount of time to go out and paint decent signs.
I get into the studio at 7 a.m. and leave at 6 p.m — sun up to sun down, like a farmer. I try to get all of the administrative work out of the way first so I can have a brush in my hand all day. I want to paint something every day. By the time it’s noon, I feel like I’ve accomplished a lot, whereas when I come in at 9 a.m. it feels like the day gets away from me.
You’ve branded yourself as a sign painter. Is that how you see yourself as an artist?
I see myself as a sign painter / muralist. I also do a lot of musician portraits and show those at galleries. Sign painting and portraits are more similar than you might think. When you think about the original sign painters who would go out and do these elaborate billboards, they could do amazing typography and amazing illustrations. But if someone brings a clock in to me that needs to be painted, I will paint that clock. I do a lot of odd jobs to keep it fun.

An EU-funded project has demonstrated how transnational cooperation can play a crucial role in helping businesses prosper and sustainable growth and jobs to proliferate across regions. By establishing the infrastructure to support such EU-wide cooperation between businesses in the Vienna region of Austria and several other regions across Central Europe, this project has enabled start-ups and entrepreneurs to more easily identify new technologies and emerging markets, and encouraged ongoing business coaching and training.
" The challenge now is to be able to extend the ‘nurture’ atmosphere provided to SMART entrepreneurs during the SMART Campus Training week into a permanent and transnational supporting ecosystem. In the future this should extend to secondary school students, where the entrepreneurial culture starts to be developed, as well as to the labour market. "
The creation of a European entrepreneurial ecosystem that can help fast growing, high potential entrepreneurs become global companies is a top priority. In order to achieve this, the I.E.SMART project established a permanent inter-regional SMART Network to link seven EU regions.
Start-ups in these seven SMART Points have received coaching and training from specially appointed entrepreneurs, focusing on three economic sectors bursting with potential and which have proved to be economically resilient: creative industries, the Green Economy and ICT.
Over the course of the project 47 regional staff members were trained during two five-day SMART Trainers’ Trainings led by an international team of trainers. In a ‘snowball effect’, these trainers went on to train over 185 further SMART Trainers in their countries. In total, some 630 young entrepreneurs were able to receive world-class coaching.
Partners and experts from several countries were also involved in mentoring and providing advice on how to make the most of new funding mechanisms such as venture capital. A highlight of this aspect of the project was the SMART Campus Training week. Based on a SMART Competition, 44 finalist took part the five-day event, which ended with a pitching session in the Old Market Hall in Bratislava, Slovakia in front of an international jury of experts and investors.
At the same time, the project has helped to highlight some of the key challenges that European entrepreneurs face, and which need to be addressed in the future. For example, the project found that entrepreneurship support must be continuous and not sporadic, in order to effectively turn ideas into projects and projects into viable endeavours.
Other challenges found in the partner regions include a lack of interest in innovation and entrepreneurship, a low survival rate of business start-ups, high youth unemployment, demographic and socio-economic brain drain and social issues involving equal opportunities and non-discrimination. Since the 2009 economic crisis, Central Europe has suffered from high youth employment and a lack of growth in small- and medium-sized companies (SMEs).
SMART has sought to turn these negatives into a positive, by providing the support for young people to create their own jobs and become Europe’s next generation of entrepreneurs. After all, in order to remain competitive in a globalised economy, EU countries need to enhance the excellence of home grown research and our capacity to innovate in order to meet the demand of high-growth global markets.
Total investment for the project “Smart training network for innovation and entrepreneurship in emerging sustainable economic sectors” is EUR 2 004 670, with the EU’s European Regional Development Fund contributing EUR 1 561 391 through the “Central Europe” Operational Programme for the 2007-2013 programming period.

Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) piping is frequently used in plumbing and waterline applications. Unfortunately, there are times when you may need to seal an area due to damage or leaks. You can choose to replace whole sections of piping or you can seal the source of the leak. Epoxy putty is a reliable way to seal PVC piping from the inside or out. Once the two compounds are mixed together, they create a strong bond to keep water leaks under control.
Turn off the water source that supplies the PVC pipe you are working with. Dig down to the piping with a shovel. Be careful not to hit the piping with the shovel, otherwise you may have an even bigger sealing job on your hands.
Use a PVC cutter or hacksaw to gain access to the inside of the pipe. Find the damage you want to seal and cut a few inches on each side of the surrounding area.
Clean the inside the pipe area you are working on with a washcloth. Sand the surface lightly with medium-grit sandpaper to give the putty a better surface to adhere to.
Put rubber gloves on and cut small, equal parts of your epoxy putty. Roll them together like a snake and then fold the combined mass in half. Then roll the putty into a ball. Repeat this rolling process until the putty is a uniform color.
Press the putty into the area that you want to seal on the inside of your PVC pipe. The putty will mold well to the contours of the pipe. Most epoxy putty will cure within 30 to 60 minutes after mixing unless it is a quick-dry formula, which may take only 5 to 10 minutes to cure. Read the product instructions thoroughly before using.
Use PVC couplers/fittings to rejoin the areas of PVC piping where you cut it. Apply a thin coat of PVC primer to the ends of the piping and then directly apply a thin coating of PVC cement on top of the primer. Push the ends of the piping into each end of the coupler/fitting to connect the two sections.
Look on the PVC cement package instructions for recommended drying time. Turn the water source back on after that amount of time has passed. The putty will cure underwater; there's no need to worry about this aspect of the project.
Recover the piping with dirt. Clean tools and any surfaces used immediately after you are done with the project. Use soap and warm water for this.
Work with the epoxy putty in temperatures over 70 degrees Fahrenheit to allow for easier mixing.

A Blog about the skinny on style, fashion, and art.
Prints and other 'graphically appealing' pieces.
As style bloggers, we relish the daily task of getting dressed. It’s kind of our thing, right? Once a year though, everybody gets in on the fun – and then takes it to a whole other level. Of course I’m talking about Halloween. That crazy holiday that causes adults to act like children and children to dress up like adults. As a 20-something, Halloween can be a far cry from the trick-or-treating days of our youth – but one element will always stay with me: we get to pretend to be someone else. Instead of dressing to best express who we really are, we get to dress to appear to be someone completely different.
This week’s Links a la Mode features posts from our community about amazing Halloween costumes and inspiration, DIY projects and even a little life lesson or five from The Nanny named Fran.

The perpetrators of recent attacks in Ansbach and Würzburg in Germany had contacts with suspected Islamic State members in Saudi Arabia, SPIEGEL has learned. Chat transcripts suggest one of the perpetrators may have been planning to strike again.
Transcripts of chats obtained by German authorities indicate that the two men involved in attacks in the German cities of Ansbach and Würzburg had repeated contact with suspected members of Islamic State via telephone numbers registered in Saudi Arabia, among other places, SPIEGEL has learned. Würzburg perpetrator Riaz Khan Ahmadzai, who is believed to have originated from Afghanistan and seriously injured several people on a regional train with an axe and knife on July 18, also left a goodbye message before engaging in the attack. "We'll see each other in paradise," he wrote.
In the case of the other attack in Ansbach, committed by Mohammed Daleel of Syria, the authorities believe the perpetrator's death on July 24 was likely an accident. They think his intention had been to deposit a backpack carrying homemade explosives within a crowd at a music festival in the city before detonating it remotely.
Shortly before the attack, his chat contact had called on him to film the detonation and the ensuing inferno and to send the video to IS. But it appears the explosive detonated prematurely, killing Daleel and injuring 15 others. There is discussion in the chats of Daleel perpetrating further attacks. Daleel's face is concealed behind a veil in the video in which he claims responsibility for the attacks, which investigators view as a sign that he may have been planning further ones. Investigators also found further bomb-making materials in the apartment where he was staying.
that Saudi Arabia is more involved than the local authorities want to admit. After 9/11 the US attacked the wrong countries.Today Saudis say...we are against IS but seem to forget from where all came from.....from themselves.
Very good work by the German police. And if Daleel got eviscerated by his own bomb...well sometimes God really is great. But, please can we admit that letting thousands of these muslim men walk into the country and claim asylum--this is still going on--is going to bring more of this misery down on German people--and any tourists who don't avoid Germany? Germany does great work--and phony justification--AFTER these assaults. If these people were NOT in Germany, these assaults would NOT happen. And again....the axe attacker was from Pakistan--he lied about his origin, as did hundreds of thousands of Afghans, Pakistanis, North Africans last year. If you cannot absolutely prove your identity or threw away your documents--WHY are you allowed into Germany? And if your documents are proven to be false--instant denial of your asylum application. And no sitting around on taxpayer money learning about bomb building. And if you have been asked to leave--WHY are you still here in Germany? This article makes all these crimes sound just routine. Happens all the time! Maybe with the current OPEN BORDER policy and the coddling that criminals and illegal migrants get in Germany--this will be routine.
4. Time to educate yourselves on this form of warfare.
Terrorism is a means with which a weak enemy can disrupt a more powerful one by using fear. The populace gives in to the fear and the terrorist wins small but important victories. If people alter their habits and culture to escape the wrath of the terrorist Then the terrorist has succeeded in their aim. The best response is to do what ever the terrorist fears. Frustrating the terrorist is the finest resistance. When the populace refuses to give in they defeat the terrorist and often drive them to prison or to easier targets.

"Fanny," said he directly, leaving his seat and his pen, and meeting her with something in his hand, "I beg your pardon for being here. I came to look for you, and after waiting a little while in hope of your coming in, was making use of your inkstand to explain my errand. You will find the beginning of a note to yourself; but I can now speak my business, which is merely to beg your acceptance of this little trifle--a chain for William's cross. You ought to have had it a week ago, but there has been a delay from my brother's not being in town by several days so soon as I expected; and I have only just now received it at Northampton. I hope you will like the chain itself, Fanny. I endeavoured to consult the simplicity of your taste; but, at any rate, I know you will be kind to my intentions, and consider it, as it really is, a token of the love of one of your oldest friends."
"I cannot attempt to thank you," she continued, in a very agitated manner; "thanks are out of the question. I feel much more than I can possibly express. Your goodness in thinking of me in such a way is beyond-- "
"For one night, Fanny, for only one night, if it _be_ a sacrifice; I am sure you will, upon consideration, make that sacrifice rather than give pain to one who has been so studious of your comfort. Miss Crawford's attentions to you have been--not more than you were justly entitled to-- I am the last person to think that _could_ _be_, but they have been invariable; and to be returning them with what must have something the _air_ of ingratitude, though I know it could never have the _meaning_, is not in your nature, I am sure. Wear the necklace, as you are engaged to do, to-morrow evening, and let the chain, which was not ordered with any reference to the ball, be kept for commoner occasions. This is my advice. I would not have the shadow of a coolness between the two whose intimacy I have been observing with the greatest pleasure, and in whose characters there is so much general resemblance in true generosity and natural delicacy as to make the few slight differences, resulting principally from situation, no reasonable hindrance to a perfect friendship. I would not have the shadow of a coolness arise," he repeated, his voice sinking a little, "between the two dearest objects I have on earth."
He was gone as he spoke; and Fanny remained to tranquillise herself as she could. She was one of his two dearest-- that must support her. But the other: the first! She had never heard him speak so openly before, and though it told her no more than what she had long perceived, it was a stab, for it told of his own convictions and views. They were decided. He would marry Miss Crawford. It was a stab, in spite of every long-standing expectation; and she was obliged to repeat again and again, that she was one of his two dearest, before the words gave her any sensation. Could she believe Miss Crawford to deserve him, it would be--oh, how different would it be-- how far more tolerable! But he was deceived in her: he gave her merits which she had not; her faults were what they had ever been, but he saw them no longer. Till she had shed many tears over this deception, Fanny could not subdue her agitation; and the dejection which followed could only be relieved by the influence of fervent prayers for his happiness.
She had all the heroism of principle, and was determined to do her duty; but having also many of the feelings of youth and nature, let her not be much wondered at, if, after making all these good resolutions on the side of self-government, she seized the scrap of paper on which Edmund had begun writing to her, as a treasure beyond all her hopes, and reading with the tenderest emotion these words, "My very dear Fanny, you must do me the favour to accept" locked it up with the chain, as the dearest part of the gift. It was the only thing approaching to a letter which she had ever received from him; she might never receive another; it was impossible that she ever should receive another so perfectly gratifying in the occasion and the style. Two lines more prized had never fallen from the pen of the most distinguished author--never more completely blessed the researches of the fondest biographer. The enthusiasm of a woman's love is even beyond the biographer's. To her, the handwriting itself, independent of anything it may convey, is a blessedness. Never were such characters cut by any other human being as Edmund's commonest handwriting gave! This specimen, written in haste as it was, had not a fault; and there was a felicity in the flow of the first four words, in the arrangement of "My very dear Fanny," which she could have looked at for ever.
As for the ball, so near at hand, she had too many agitations and fears to have half the enjoyment in anticipation which she ought to have had, or must have been supposed to have by the many young ladies looking forward to the same event in situations more at ease, but under circumstances of less novelty, less interest, less peculiar gratification, than would be attributed to her. Miss Price, known only by name to half the people invited, was now to make her first appearance, and must be regarded as the queen of the evening. Who could be happier than Miss Price? But Miss Price had not been brought up to the trade of _coming_ _out_; and had she known in what light this ball was, in general, considered respecting her, it would very much have lessened her comfort by increasing the fears she already had of doing wrong and being looked at. To dance without much observation or any extraordinary fatigue, to have strength and partners for about half the evening, to dance a little with Edmund, and not a great deal with Mr. Crawford, to see William enjoy himself, and be able to keep away from her aunt Norris, was the height of her ambition, and seemed to comprehend her greatest possibility of happiness. As these were the best of her hopes, they could not always prevail; and in the course of a long morning, spent principally with her two aunts, she was often under the influence of much less sanguine views. William, determined to make this last day a day of thorough enjoyment, was out snipe-shooting; Edmund, she had too much reason to suppose, was at the Parsonage; and left alone to bear the worrying of Mrs. Norris, who was cross because the housekeeper would have her own way with the supper, and whom _she_ could not avoid though the housekeeper might, Fanny was worn down at last to think everything an evil belonging to the ball, and when sent off with a parting worry to dress, moved as languidly towards her own room, and felt as incapable of happiness as if she had been allowed no share in it.
"Yes," he answered, "she is engaged to me; but" (with a smile that did not sit easy) "she says it is to be the last time that she ever will dance with me. She is not serious. I think, I hope, I am sure she is not serious; but I would rather not hear it. She never has danced with a clergyman, she says, and she never _will_. For my own sake, I could wish there had been no ball just at--I mean not this very week, this very day; to-morrow I leave home."
"Oh yes, yes! and it will be a day of pleasure. It will all end right. I am only vexed for a moment. In fact, it is not that I consider the ball as ill-timed; what does it signify? But, Fanny," stopping her, by taking her hand, and speaking low and seriously, "you know what all this means. You see how it is; and could tell me, perhaps better than I could tell you, how and why I am vexed. Let me talk to you a little. You are a kind, kind listener. I have been pained by her manner this morning, and cannot get the better of it. I know her disposition to be as sweet and faultless as your own, but the influence of her former companions makes her seem--gives to her conversation, to her professed opinions, sometimes a tinge of wrong. She does not _think_ evil, but she speaks it, speaks it in playfulness; and though I know it to be playfulness, it grieves me to the soul."
Fanny imagined this to be an appeal to her judgment, and therefore, after a moment's consideration, said, "If you only want me as a listener, cousin, I will be as useful as I can; but I am not qualified for an adviser. Do not ask advice of _me_. I am not competent."
"One thing more. Excuse the liberty; but take care _how_ you talk to me. Do not tell me anything now, which hereafter you may be sorry for. The time may come--"
He had said enough to shake the experience of eighteen. He had said enough to give Fanny some happier feelings than she had lately known, and with a brighter look, she answered, "Yes, cousin, I am convinced that _you_ would be incapable of anything else, though perhaps some might not. I cannot be afraid of hearing anything you wish to say. Do not check yourself. Tell me whatever you like."
They were now on the second floor, and the appearance of a housemaid prevented any farther conversation. For Fanny's present comfort it was concluded, perhaps, at the happiest moment: had he been able to talk another five minutes, there is no saying that he might not have talked away all Miss Crawford's faults and his own despondence. But as it was, they parted with looks on his side of grateful affection, and with some very precious sensations on hers. She had felt nothing like it for hours. Since the first joy from Mr. Crawford's note to William had worn away, she had been in a state absolutely the reverse; there had been no comfort around, no hope within her. Now everything was smiling. William's good fortune returned again upon her mind, and seemed of greater value than at first. The ball, too--such an evening of pleasure before her! It was now a real animation; and she began to dress for it with much of the happy flutter which belongs to a ball. All went well: she did not dislike her own looks; and when she came to the necklaces again, her good fortune seemed complete, for upon trial the one given her by Miss Crawford would by no means go through the ring of the cross. She had, to oblige Edmund, resolved to wear it; but it was too large for the purpose. His, therefore, must be worn; and having, with delightful feelings, joined the chain and the cross--those memorials of the two most beloved of her heart, those dearest tokens so formed for each other by everything real and imaginary--and put them round her neck, and seen and felt how full of William and Edmund they were, she was able, without an effort, to resolve on wearing Miss Crawford's necklace too. She acknowledged it to be right. Miss Crawford had a claim; and when it was no longer to encroach on, to interfere with the stronger claims, the truer kindness of another, she could do her justice even with pleasure to herself. The necklace really looked very well; and Fanny left her room at last, comfortably satisfied with herself and all about her.

Your survival rate is 80% and your "certain death" rate is 12%.
If you are wondering how you can find out answers to most of the questions from this test, you can find them online if you search for them.
You scored 53% for Education, 50% for Religion, 70% for Military Might, and 50% for Decentralization!
Greece was comprised of many city-states for most of its Golden Age, and second to none was Sparta! A society of perfectionist, the spartans did not care for "soft" or "pretty" things save the Battle and the Art of War. Here, great philosophy was formed on the nature of Life and Death and War while soldiers trained constantly in the hope of perfection. It is all about Perfect War and self-perfection, education of the self and the body. Unlike other war-like nations, to belong to Sparta is not just to want to fight, or to fight well, but to fight in all things and to think of fighting and to eat, drink, and dream of fighting. But mostly, it is Perfect Fighting. It is all about perfection, and you seeker of perfection (maybe not in fighting, but in something) would find the sharp focus of these people a good match.

Teen genius Tony Stark has just finished his greatest invention: the Iron Man armor. But before he gets to show his dad, Tony�s world is shattered. His father, his home, his entire life are all gone, and Tony is left picking up the pieces. But with a little help from his friends Rhodey and Pepper, he begins to unravel the mystery surrounding the attack on his father. And as Iron Man, Tony Stark takes his first steps toward becoming a hero.
Obadiah Stane has taken over Stark International and is converting all of Tony and his dad�s inventions into weapons. But even worse, Tony now believes Stane may be behind the attack that took his father from him. Iron Man intends to get answers, but standing in his way are the Earth Movers � Tony�s once peaceful inventions, which have been corrupted into massive weapons of destruction. And if Iron Man survives fighting against his own creations, he will still have to confront the mysterious armored figure known only as The Mandarin.
The Mandarin believes Tony can find the missing Makluan Rings, so he reverts back to his true identity, sixteen year old Gene Khan, to get close to Tony. After enrolling at Tony�s school, Tony, Gene, and Pepper are taken hostage by Maggia henchmen in effort to undermine The Mandarin and his Tong triad. Tony and Gene must both survive and protect their respective secret identities as Iron Man and the Mandarin.
Iron Man is still trying to take down Obadiah Stane when he finds someone else is after Stane� the man called Blizzard. Rhodey�s not so sure about Blizzard, but Tony feels like he�s found a kindred spirit. Together, Iron Man and Blizzard take down Stark International from the inside out, but Iron Man soon realizes that he and Blizzard are nothing alike. There�s a fine line between revenge and justice, and now it�s armor versus ice� with Obadiah Stane�s life as the prize!
Pepper Potts dreams of a life of excitement and adventure� until her FBI agent father is targeted by Mister Fix, a mysterious arms dealer he�d been tracking. With her father in the hospital, Pepper intends to find out who attacked him� until she becomes a target herself. But Mister Fix doesn�t just make high tech weapons� he makes super-weapons. And now Iron Man has to save Pepper from Fix�s cybernetic hatchet man, Whiplash, all while trying to hide his identity from Mister Fix and Pepper.
Ivan Vanko has crashed down into the middle of New York City after being lost in space for two years, and is alive thanks to the massive environmental suit � The Crimson Dynamo, which is designed to survive the harshest conditions imaginable. Dynamo plans to seek revenge on the people who left him behind in space, but the only thing standing in his way is Iron Man.
When a new super villain called the Living Laser appears, Tony realizes that he can no longer juggle school and Iron Man. Already brilliant and rich, he decides to give up school. He soon discovers that the entire future of Stark International rests on him graduating from high school, so he must find a way to be both Iron Man and Tony Stark.
With a new prototype suit of stealth armor, Tony decides to sneak into Stark International and see what Obadiah Stane is up to. Problem is, the suit is untested and promptly goes dead inside S.I.. It's only a matter of time before Stane finds it, and Tony needs a plan fast. Enlisting the help of his friends, Tony needs to find a way to break into Stark International, get the armor, and get out before Stane notices -- and without anyone realizing that Iron Man and Tony are one and the same.
The search is on for the Makluan Rings, and Tony and his friends go back to square one -- the site where Tony's dad found the first ring. But at the site, they find more than they bargained for, namely a test -- and a guardian. Finding the ring is one thing, but you have to earn their power. And while Gene and Rhodey learn the secret history of the Makluan Rings, Tony and Pepper are in for the first of their lives against the ring's guardians -- the Dreadknights.
Episode #10 - Ready, A.I.M., Fire!
It�s career day at school and while Rhodey and Pepper look for jobs, the Advanced Idea Mechanics have a job for Tony. They are group of scientists that want his help to invent a revolutionary new technology. When Tony completes their project, he inadvertently creates a new Super Villain� the Controller. Now Iron Man is forced to fight, not only against Aim, but against his controlled friends as well.
Iron Man goes to investigate when Obadiah Stane starts waging war, only to find that Stane isn�t Stane. It�s the identity-stealing Madame Masque, and she doesn�t want anyone getting in the way of her vendetta. When Iron man gets hunted by the police for crimes committed by masque, he has to clear his name by exposing Masque, but her connection to Stane will shock even Iron Man.
Obadiah Stane defeats and captures Iron Man by forcing Project Pegasus to use an upgraded version of the Crimson Dynamo armor to take him down. With his systems in lockdown, Tony is helpless inside as his armor is taken apart and analyzed piece by piece. Rhodey and Pepper go all out to bust him loose, but once he is free, Tony�s only got one thing on his mind - revenge. It�s Iron Man versus Crimson Dynamo round two, but this time Iron Man�s ready. Enter: the Dynamo Buster Armor.
Tony and Gene find the third Makluan Ring, but this time Tony plays it smart without awakening the ring�s guardian, Tony takes the ring back to the city to study. But Gene has other ideas and in order to possess the ring�s power; he activates the guardian, Ultimo. But Ultimo isn�t interested in Gene, it only wants the ring. And now, not only does Iron Man have to deal with a giant robot in New York, he�s also about to have a rematch with the Mandarin.
Mister Fix is back, and this time he�s equipped Whiplash with a virus designed to destroy Iron Man�s armor from the inside out. Iron Man survives the attack, but something�s gone wrong. Fix�s virus has caused the armor to become sentient. It�s alive, thinking for itself, and it intends to carry out it�s primary objective� to protect Tony Stark from any and all danger, even if it means making Tony a prisoner inside the armor for the rest of his life.
Iron Man is tracking an international thief named Moses Magnum right to AIM�s secret headquarters, but the Black Panther is after Magnum as well. Magnum stole something that belongs to the Panther, and the Panther aims to get it back, even if he has to go through Iron Man to do it. Iron Man has to choose between helping Panther or taking down AIM, but for Panther there�s no choice at all. Because the Black Panther has learned Iron Man�s secret identity and if Iron Man interferes, he�ll tell the whole world.
The Living Laser is back and more dangerous than ever. He�s increased his power, taken control of a space station, and has the world in his grasp. So he demands that Iron Man come fight him. Iron Man fully intends to do so, until he�s stopped by Nick Fury and Shield, an international military operation. But Iron Man isn�t sure who�s more dangerous because even if the Laser doesn�t take Iron Man out, Nick Fury just might.
A hit�s been placed on Tony Stark, and the Ghost has come to collect. Tony can�t even see the invisible and untouchable Ghost coming� but he�s got a guardian angel, whether he likes it or not: Madame Masque. And while Madame Masque battles the Ghost to protect Tony, Tony finds himself pushing away Rhodey and Pepper to protect them. But when Masque is captured by the Ghost, Tony has to turn to the very friends he pushed away for help.
Pepper realizes if she wants to keep Tony as a friend, she has to learn to start liking Gene Khan. Which is really inconvenient for Gene, because he�s busy trying to negotiate peace as the Mandarin between his Tong forces and the Maggia. And of course Pepper lands smack in the middle of it. Now Gene has to somehow save Pepper from Count Nefaria and the Black Knight, all while keeping his own secret from everyone. Solution? Call Iron Man.
In a moment of anger, Tony created a weapon � a computer virus called Technovore. It was supposed to destroy itself when it completed its objective, but it didn't. Instead, the virus grew, spawned a horrific body, and began to hunger. It consumes every piece of technology that it comes across, growing and adapting as it prepares to go out into the world. That is, unless Iron Man and Rhodey can stop it. But where most villains see Iron Man as a challenge, Technovore sees him as a snack.
The fourth Makluan Ring has been found, and when Tony, Rhodey and Pepper rush off to collect it, Gene is left behind. And while Gene tries to track down his �friends,� he�s left alone with memories of his mother, the person who introduced him to his destiny� his birthright� the Makluan Rings. Actually claiming that birthright isn�t so easy though, which Tony is finding out first hand. He�s facing the fourth Guardian� the Fireband.
The Living Laser is dying, and Tony Stark is trying to save his life. But fate has other plans� the Ghost has been hired by AIM to �steal� the Laser. AIM needs him to be a power source for their greatest creation, and when Iron Man arrives to rescue the Laser, he�s too late� the Mental Organism Designed Only for Conquest is online. Not even Iron Man can withstand MODOC�s mental power, and now his fate rests in the hands of the Living Laser� but will the Laser choose to save Tony Stark? Or destroy Iron Man?
Tony finally convinces Rhodey to take the Iron Man armor out for a spin, with disastrous results. Rhodey is terrible at flying and abandons the armor, only to have the worst person on Earth find it � Happy Hogan. Happy puts on the armor, only to fall right into a Maggia plot that could destroy the city. Now Tony and Happy have to work together to save the city, all while Tony tries to get Happy out of the armored without blowing his secret identity. Plus: Rhoedy versus Traffic!
The Hulk has landed in New York, and Pepper and Rhodey see that he's after someone - a kid named Rick Jones. Trouble is, Rick is being controlled - by The Controller. He's using Rick to manipulate the Hulk. The Controller wants revenge against AIM, and the Hulk is just the weapon to give it to him. When Iron Man arrives, he's able to free Rick, but at a great cost. The Controller now has Iron Man under his command, and it's up to Pepper and Rhodey to free time � with a little hep from their Incredible new friend.
Whitney Stane is very, very sick and Obadiah Stane calls the one person who may be able to save his daughter: Tony Stark. Tony realizes that a cure exists, but it�s in an abandoned Stark facility in the arctic�in the dead of winter. And while Iron Man secretly goes to retrieve the cure, Stane takes matters into his own hands by thawing out Blizzard and forcing him to go as well. But nothing�s ever simple with Stane or Blizzard, and Iron Man�s about to be caught between the two of them, while Whitney�s life hangs in the balance.
Gene Khan wasn't always the Mandarin and leader of the Tong, his step-father Zhang once held that title. Now Zhang is back for the Makluan Rings, and he'll stop at nothing to get them all. Zhang captures Gene, Tony, and Pepper, and forces the location of the fifth ring from Tony. And while Rhodey struggles to find his friends, Tony and Gene are faced with the fifth guardian... an ancient dragon by the name of Fin Fang Foom. But without Tony's armor and Gene's rings... what can kids do against a dragon?
Secrets are revealed and friendships are destroyed forever as Rhodey dons the War Machine armor to save his friends from Zhang and Fin Fang Foom. With all five of the Makluan Rings now within Tony and Gene's reach, it's machine versus magic as Iron Man and War Machine fight against the dual threats of Fin Fang Foom and the Mandarin, in a battle that will change everything.
