1 Parnelli Jones, the iconic Southern California racing figure, left his Rolling Hills home Wednesday for Detroit to be part of the Borg-Warner Trophy presentation for 2012 Indianapolis 500 winner Dario Franchitti.
That was just a ruse to get the Long Beach legend to the event sponsored by The Detroit Automotive News at the Detroit Renaissance Center.
Not only did Franchitti get his Baby Borg-Warner Trophy but so did Jones, 50 years after winning the Indy 500 in 1963. It was a surprise for Jones, who made mention of the fact winners of his era didn't get personal trophies.
Jones, 79, is the oldest living winner of the race.
In fact, the Borg-Warner Trophy was making its third appearance outside of Indianapolis.
"I am very honored to be receiving my third Baby Borg this year. My Baby Borgs take front and center among all my trophies," Franchitti said. "Parnelli mentioned to me and some friends about somehow, some way getting a Baby Borg for his trophy collection back in September (in Fontana).
"I think that it is amazing for Borg-Warner to commemorate his win from 1963 with a Baby Borg of his very own. It was so neat to see our plan for getting him one come together.
"Winning the Indianapolis 500 is a special honor and I am thrilled to be able to see Parnelli get a 'retro' Baby Borg 50 years later to remember his win in a very special way. I know Parnelli is thrilled."
Jones was not alone in that sentiment.
"We are extremely pleased to commemorate the 50 th anniversary of Parnelli's Indianapolis 500 victory by presenting him with a personal symbol of his achievement, a Baby Borg."
Rick Mears was the first driver to receive a Baby Borg following his win at Indy in 1988.
"Dario and Parnelli will tell you that the thrill of winning the greatest race in the world is beyond description," Manganello said. "Looking at all of the faces and names on the Borg-Warner Trophy, you realize you've joined a very elite group of champions, representing a century-long tradition of achievement.
"Their drive to win inspires new generations to accelerate automotive innovation and push themselves to outperform the competition, even if the records they break are their own."
2 The 2012 NHRA Drag Racing Series wasn't the same without three-time Top Fuel dragster champion Larry Dixon behind the wheel. In 2011, he was second to teammate Del Worsham in the points battle.
Dixon will return to NHRA this year, although it's uncertain when he'll make his debut for Rapisarda Autosport International, which earlier this week announced a new team with Dixon and Lee Beard as director of operations.
An announcement is expected soon on what the schedule will be, including the six stops in the ANDRA Australia Drag Racing Series. The Rapisarda Autosport International operation is headed by Australia business mogul Santo Rapisarda and his sons, Santo Jr. and Tino (Santino).
Santo Jr. and Tino will be co-crew chiefs for the Rapisarda dragster.
"Both Larry and Lee have some of the greatest resumes in NHRA drag racing history," team owner Santo Rapisarda said. "Although they have never teamed up together before, we believe their leadership and competitiveness will lead us to Victory Lane this year."
Dixon, the former Van Nuys resident now living in Avon, Ind., is looking forward to returning to NHRA.
"This opportunity to join Rapisarda team and work with Lee for the first time is very exciting for me," Dixon said. "Last year, I worked with ESPN and the NHRA announcing team as an analyst at the national events and it gave me a great insight of the sport from outside the pit area."
3 If the trend in the Monster Energy AMA Supercross Series continues, fans at Anaheim Stadium may see another no-name rider win the 20-lap main event.
Davi Millsaps won the series opener in Anaheim two weeks ago in a great battle with Trey Canard that featured a pair of passes in the last two laps. Last week in Phoenix, Justin Barcia won his first 450 SX main event by outlasting defending champion Ryan Villopoto.
Millsaps has a six-point lead over Barcia and seven over Canard, Chad Reed is in fourth and another former champ, Ryan Dungey, is fifth. Villopoto is seventh, 18 points behind the leader.
"I can't tell you how excited I am," said Barcia, the 56 th winner in 450 SX class history. "I didn't think this win would come so soon. I kept it smooth, but the track was super slick. It was a great night for me."
In the opener, Millsaps registered his fourth win, but first since 2010, in front of a full house. "I was just trying to keep calm out there," he said. "It has been a long time since I have led a race, so it was hard to calm my nerves."
Reigning Western Regional 250 SX class champion Eli Tomac has won both of the season's races.
Former Angels pitcher Scott Spiezio will serve as grand marshal for the event. which can save fans some money.Until Friday, adults can buy a $35 ticket for $23 by using the password Spiezio at www.Ticketmaster.com. The $23 offer is reflective of Spiezio's jersey number during the 2002 World Series.
4 In a short amount of time since Irwindale Event Center (nee Irwindale Speedway) signed an agreement with NASCAR, more than a dozen drivers have filed for a racing license with the sanctioning body.
Irwindale Event Center president and CEO Jim Cohan met with Bob Duvall, NASCAR senior director of business development, earlier this month in Irwindale to iron out the agreement prior to the April 6 "grand re-opening night."
"We're quite proud to announce our 2013 NASCAR racing schedule for Irwindale Speedway," Cohan said. "(Duvall) really understands our mission to bring great short-track stock car racing back to Southern California and he's very supportive of that goal."
Irwindale has scheduled 15 races this year featuring Super Late Models, Late Models, Super Stocks and Mini-Stocks in addition to a Oct. 26 "Night of Destruction" and an evening-ending fun-for-alldemolition derby.
"NASCAR is pleased to bring our home tracks program back to Irwindale," Duvall said. "The facility hasn't changed physically in any way; it's the same great race track. What has changed is the management group and spirit of teamwork that Jim Cohan's people bring to the effort; they're all top pros."
Irwindale also will host the six-race NHRA Summit Series for four classes: Super Pro, Pro, Sportsman and Pro Bike. The series starts March 10 and includes racing on April 14, May 5, June 9, July 14 and the finale on Aug. 4.

Next week's NASCAR Media Tour will confirm Kyle Busch has signed a multiyear year deal with Joe Gibbs Racing. The younger Busch would have been a free agent after the 2013 season.
Busch, winner of 24 Cup races and 51 Nationwide events, had a rather disappointing season in 2012, in which he won once and finished 13 th in the points race.

NSF Fellowships for Transformative Computational Science using CyberInfrastructure (CI TraCS)
PROGRAM GUIDELINES Solicitation 10-553
Important Notice to Proposers
A revised version of the NSF Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG), NSF 13-1, was issued on October 4, 2012 and is effective for proposals submitted, or due, on or after January 14, 2013. Please be advised that, depending on the specified due date, the guidelines contained in NSF 13-1 may apply to proposals submitted in response to this funding opportunity.
Please be aware that significant changes have been made to the PAPPG to implement revised merit review criteria based on the National Science Board (NSB) report, National Science Foundation's Merit Review Criteria: Review and Revisions. While the two merit review criteria remain unchanged (Intellectual Merit and Broader Impacts), guidance has been provided to clarify and improve the function of the criteria. Changes will affect the project summary and project description sections of proposals. Annual and final reports also will be affected.
A by-chapter summary of this and other significant changes is provided at the beginning of both the Grant Proposal Guide and the Award & Administration Guide.
DUE DATES Waiting for New Publication
The overarching goal of the NSF Fellowships for Transformative Computational Science using Cyberinfrastructure (CI TRaCS) program is to support outstanding scientists and engineers who have recently completed doctoral studies and are interested in pursuing postdoctoral activities in computational science, and thereby nurturing the future leaders in this emerging and important multidisciplinary field. Computational research and education activities that are cyberinfrastrucure-based and cross disciplinary boundaries are a key focus of this program. Successful Fellows may, for example, use cyberinfrastructure to make revolutionary advances in their disciplines, and/or deploy cyberinfrastructure-based technologies that enable innovative computational practices.
Goals and Focus: The overarching vision of the Cyberinfrastructure Framework for 21st Science and Engineering (CF21) is to realize a pervasive computational ecosystem that integrates computers, networks, data archives, instruments, observatories, experiments, and embedded sensors and actuators (nationally and internationally), and to catalyze new thinking, paradigms and practices in computational science and engineering - those that are fundamentally collaborative and information/data-driven, and that symbiotically and opportunistically combine computations, experiments, observations, and real-time information to understand and manage natural and engineered systems.
Complementing this vision, the NSF Fellowship for Transformative Computational Science and Cyberinfrastructure (CI TraCS) will support recent doctoral graduates in sciences and engineering and enable them to engage in computational research and education. The fellowship seeks to emphasize the central role of computational concepts, methodologies and technologies in all sciences (including physical, biological, geological, mathematical, social, behavioral, economic, computer, information and data), and to bridge the large gaps in training, language, approach, perspective and knowledge that continue to divide inherently multidisciplinary computational disciplines. Furthermore, its goal is to enable recent doctoral graduates to attain the necessary multidisciplinary expertise to effectively leverage cyberinfrastructure to significantly benefit specific disciplines and society at large. For example, the fellowships may potentially support doctoral graduates from the physical sciences seeking to gain expertise in CI aspects such as scalable computing, large-scale data management and analytics or virtual organizations. Similarly, a proposal from doctoral graduates from the computational/computing disciplines seeking to gain domain expertise that would enable them to effectively apply CI to advance the domain would be appropriate. Note that postdoctoral research activities that are not computational in nature and CI-based would not be appropriate for this program. Fellows must display a significant ability to contribute to computational research and educational efforts that integrate distinct theoretical models and computational methodologies to achieve overall goals, and lead to a new generation of applications and technologies for solving important real-world problems using CI.
Fellowship applicants are expected to include education and mentoring activities in their proposal. Examples of such activities include teaching one course during each year of the fellowship at their host institution or an academic institution with ties to their host institution, developing educational materials for formal or informal education venues, or engaging in a significant program of community outreach or public education. As a rough guideline, Fellows should plan on their educational activities taking up no less than 10% and no more than 25% of their time. Applicants are encouraged to discuss the proposed educational activities with their proposed host institution prior to proposal submission to ensure that their educational plan is consistent with opportunities and plans at the institution.

ezbake_j I had no idea. Jeff was my cousin. He was a quarter century older than me and had already made his way out into the world as I came into it. I had only been around him a handful of times through the course of my life, usually weddings or holidays when he made it back to Lincoln, NE. In my mind he was just my older cousin that kept to himself and lived a quiet life in another state. It wasn't until today that I learned about his involvement here. It is extremely heartwarming to know that he did not just go out with a whimper and that there was so much more to his life than I had assumed. His parents were extremely proud to receive the flowers out of the blue. Your thoughts, prayers, and well wishes are greatly appreciated. Thank you. Justin

By all means do it. It's for a great cause. I snipped the 10,000,000 point certificate and e mailed it to her. On behalf of the Hamilton family and Jeffrey's friends here in Missouri, thanks to everyone leaving condolences on the obituary site and for all the kind words on the EVGA forum. And to all the folders participating Friday a special thanks from Mrs. Hamilton. He is gone but will never be forgotten with all the friends on the EVGA forums. Thanks again, Dan

Old wives' tales are usually things I like to take note of. You can scoff and roll your eyes, but many times, an old home remedy may be the just what the doctor ordered.
And by doctor, I mean mixologist.
As a Southern belle, I'm no stranger to the odd shot of whiskey or bourbon administered when one has the sniffles (or any other time for that matter). And since childhood, I have heard a good Hot Toddy will always, without a doubt, cure what ails you.
It's a well-loved piece of Southern folklore. Many families have their own special recipes, some stronger and some better than others.
Along the lines of Hot Buttered Rum, the Toddy can be made with bourbon, whiskey, rum or brandy. It really depends on where you are from and personal preference.
My version is a riff off the Hot Toddy recipe of one of the South's literary icons, William Faulkner. His father's recipe is a strong example. As a doctor, he routinely served it to his patients – perfectly poised and delivered on a silver platter – as a "cure" for the common cold.
Even though there isn't any real science to back up the claims, the Hot Toddy is still a soothing, delicious cocktail perfect for wintry months. It's a wonderfully warm sipper, laced with spice and chock full of Vitamin C.
Twinkle's Hot Toddy
Serves 4
Bring water to a boil, adding spices and honey slowly. Boil about 5-7 minutes. Turn off heat and set aside.
Set out four 8 oz. mugs.
Place one tea bag in each mug.
Place a cinnamon stick in each mug and evenly distribute the fresh-squeezed juice.
Pour two and half ounces of bourbon in each glass, then top with the hot water mixture.
Float some citrus zest and peel on top of the drink for a garnish.
Let cool a bit if too hot to drink, then bottoms up! Cheers!

PANAMA CITY, February 20, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Sixty-five of Latin America's leading telecom executives will convene in Panama for two and a half days of focused workshops, peer led panel discussions and working lunches at GDS International's seventh Next Generation Telecoms Latin America summit.
This popular event will take place on the 18th to the 20th of March 2013 at the five-star InterContinental Playa Bonita Resort & Spa in Panama. Having previously run six successful NG Telecom summits in Latin America, this year's event also promises to be extremely valuable with attendees discussing the oncoming mobile broadband tidal wave and methods for managing and monetizing mobile data traffic. Delegates will also be looking at broader issues, including mobile network optimization, network challenges in the mobile Internet era, and VAS for mobile telephony in Latin America.
Dan Acton, CTO/COO/Co-Founder of Crown Interactive, was an attendee at the event last year. He said: "This event has a very focused and time efficient format. The workshops gave us the opportunity to dive into topics with both solution providers and service providers on some of the current topics of the day."
Attending NG Telecoms Latin America this year will be: Carlos Raimar, Chief Strategy Officer for Vivo; Andre Borges, Chief Strategy Officer for Oi; Ricardo Salas Cobos, COO for Iusacell; Jose Lecy, Head of New Technologies & Innovation for Vivo; and Marcos Goncalves, Head of OSS for TIM Brazil.
Nick Atrey, NGT Latin America Summit Director for GDS International, the global events company behind the summit, says: "The Latin American market is going through an exciting period of growth and change, with new technologies such as 4G LTE are re-shaping the mobile landscape. These changes are creating new challenges for senior executives, tasked with maximizing revenues and improving business performance."
He continues: "This is a big part of the reason why the NG Telecoms Summit and our advisory board meetings have continued to deliver value and grow in stature over the years. We are confident that the summit will once again provide CTOs and leading technology vendors in the region with a strategic platform to discuss and debate their pain points, through our unique format of one-on-one meetings and end-user led workshop sessions."

Hampshire residents can help fight winter flooding
Wednesday, 24 October 2012
With the ground still saturated after one of the wettest springs and summers on record, Hampshire residents are being encouraged to clear their garden ditches and play their part in preventing localised flooding.
Hampshire County Council spends more than £2 million a year maintaining 900 kilometres of highway drains and more than 200,000 roadside gullies. When flooding does occur the Council's team of emergency engineers are on call continuously seven days a week to unblock highway drains, coordinate work with the police and other emergency services and clear fallen trees from roads - all to keep the county's roads clear and traffic flowing. Residents can help by reporting problems online.
Fallen leaves pose extra risk
However there are many other gullies and watercourses on private land, and blockages here can often lead to flooding after heavy rainfall, particular during autumn when fallen leaves are an additional risk. Hampshire residents can help to prevent flooding with a few simple steps, says Deputy Leader and Executive Member for Transport and Environment, Councillor Mel Kendal:
"We can't prevent flooding completely but there is a lot that we can do to reduce the impact on our neighbourhoods. After this year's prolonged period of wet weather it is especially important that we all take some time to regularly check ditches and watercourses on our own land to make sure they are clear of leaves, vegetation and other debris and not blocked up by grass cuttings or other rubbish.
"Residents can also help us make sure that plans to minimise and prevent future flooding are as accurate and up-to-date as possible, by completing our online consultation questionnaire. By passing on their local knowledge and experience of flooding in local areas, we can check that information we hold, about the extent and frequency of previous flooding, is correct.
Self-help parish partnerships
"I would like to draw attention to the excellent work carried out by the self-help parish partnerships and communities which warn local people of imminent flooding, support those affected and help to clear up afterwards. For further advice please visit the Local Resilience Forum webpage and select 'Your community'."

Golf is a sport of physical precision and aerial dynamics, won and lost upon the pendulum of your swing. Use today's Groupon to brush up on your golf physics and practice blasting balls with your refined stroke. For $30, you get a 30-minute video swing analysis (normally $50) and large bucket of balls ($10) from Par Breakers Golf Academy, a $60 total value. This comprehensive indoor golf facility is a short 30-minute golf-cart trip from Philly in Oaks.
Pasadena Golf Center lets visitors create the satisfying thwack of a club hitting a golf ball in one of two locations. They can make out the sound on the 18-hole mini-golf course—where ears will also pick up the sound of trickling waterfalls and the gurgling of landscaped streams and ponds—or at the driving range. Golfers can manipulate a variety of clubs there since targets are set up at different lengths, and 20 of the range's 34 hitting stations are covered to provide shade during warm months and heat during cold ones. In addition, a full setup of lights let them swing away into the evening or when Apollo's chariot of fire is in the shop. To assist in swing mechanics and proper alignment, the center organizes lessons led by Golf Academy of America–certified instructor, Brett Francisco.
Pasadena Golf Center is also equipped with a nine-station batting cage that challenges visitors with baseball pitches of varying speeds as well as slow- and fast-pitch softball. A 1,600-square-foot patio nearby can facilitate birthday parties or other special events.
The 18-hole course at Chapel Hill guides golfers along lush fairways framed by dense tree lines and confronted by water on 11 holes. Six holes—beginning with No. 1—demand precise course-management skills when navigating shots around the stream that cuts through their fairways, demanding that players lay up, muscle their shots over, or swap their golf ball out for a beach ball. Laid end-to-end, the course measures 6,089 yards from the blue tees, the farthest of four available for play on each hole.
Course at a Glance:
- 18-hole, par 70 course
- Total length of 6,089 yards from the back tees
- Course rating of 69.7 from the back tees
- Course slope of 125 from the back tees
- Four sets of tees per hole
Springfield Golf Center's 18-hole course encompasses 6 par threes, 10 par fours, and 2 par fives. Its many shorter-length holes make the course ideal for beginners or advanced golfers looking for casual rounds. For practice, players can head over to the driving range or sign up for lessons with P.G.A. professional Michael Beal. Springfield Golf Center is also home to a Mayan-themed mini golf course.
The course at Stonybrook Golf Club weaves along verdant paths buttressed by dense walls of foliage, creating a relatively short 3,514-yard track from the back tees. Course architect Robert Krieger incorporated frequent misdirection that leads to blind shots, including double doglegs on the 6th and 15th holes, the course's only two par 5s. Water hazards come into play on seven holes and speedy greens can cause further complications for golfers with the yips or roller-skate golf shoes. When walking, a round can be finished in under three hours, letting players quickly return to daily life or the scene of the accident.
Course at a Glance:
- 18-hole, par 62 course
- Total length of 3,514 yards from the back tees
- Course rating of 57.3 from the back tees
- Course slope of 91 from the back tees
- Three sets of tees per hole
- Scorecard
Horsham Family Golf takes up more than 16 acres of space where players of all ages can fine-tune their skills. Guests can practice putting at a gold-rush-themed 18-hole mini-golf course, aiming for holes in one while avoiding dips and obstacles. The facility also houses a driving range equipped with laser-precise distance markers and buckets of high-quality golf balls yearning to feel the wind in their dimples. 28 of the 50 golf stalls are private and remain lit for evening play, and a new practice bunker challenges golfers with a large sand trap. After practice, guests can visit the onsite pro shop, where they can stock up on golfing accessories or purchase a set of custom-fitted clubs.

(WOFL FOX 35 ORLANDO) - A Corvette owner said he was almost carjacked at gun point, but the would-be thieves ran away, because they couldn't figure out how to drive his car.
It was just after 11 o'clock at night, when Randolph Bean was waiting for his wife to get out of work. That's when two men took him by surprise while he was inside his bright, yellow Corvette. It was parked outside Orlando Regional Medical Center in Downtown Orlando.

'Anything goes' now in campaign financing?
WASHINGTON — Is it "anything goes" now in America's campaign finance system? John Edwards is acquitted of using campaign cash as hush money. There's an explosion of high-dollar super political action committees in the presidential race. It's all stoking criticism of revisions and regulatory loopholes in a system that was intended to keep better control of political money after Watergate.

If your question isn't answered here please contact us
Trainerspotter began as a side project between two friends, Russell Gater and Daniel Savory, it was a kind of creative outlet, and a project exploring sports heritage, street subculture and graphic design for their love of vintage sneakers. This quickly developed into a real brand and business as demand for the product grew not just in the UK but Worldwide. Inspired by Trainerspotter heroes such as Steve Prefontaine, Jeff Johnson, Geoff Hollister and Rudi Dassler, the initial aim of the brand was to tell the stories behind sneaker culture that nobody had heard before. People seemed to have forgotten it?s true roots - sports.
Trainerspotter is still run by the guys who started it and they still are avid sneaker collectors. This obsession started somewhere around the early nineties and steadily built. The American cultural invasion of the early 1980?s originally sparked their love of Nike trainers as kids; they had a mystique that other brands just didn?t posses, something new and unobtainable.
Since forming Trainerspotter in 2002 they have endeavoured to build a comprehensive Nike collection comprising not only of shoe styles but adverts, posters, apparel and general Nike ephemera. Obviously this is an ongoing commitment and the pieces shown blow are the tip of the collection. Over the years they have made many good friends in the USA, France and Japan with greater collections than our own, individuals with a passion for the sport as much as the sneaker.
True collectors are driven not by trends, fashion, reissues or collaborations but by an in depth appreciation of the aesthetic and the history of a particular shoe?

Here is me on my latest fishing trip, this one was the biggest fish I've caught so far. https://fbcdn-sphoto...923729827_n.jpg I have another Pike mounted on my wall but it's 27 inches, I never got a chance to measure this one but I think it's 30+.
I have 2 setups for fishing and I fish for bass, pike, walleye, and panfish.
My first setup is the one that I use at my grandparents near Kingston. It's a 6'6 Outback rod and an outback spinning reel. I like this one a lot, much more than my second one, I've had it for about 6 or 7 years now I think.
My second setup is the one I use at home and it's a 7'0 Shimano Pro Series Bob Izumi rod and spinning reel. The reason why I don't like this one as much is because the reel doesn't hold enough line and I find it a bit too cumbersome.
Both of them just have the factory reels on them but I have a second reel that I got for my birthday that is the same one on my Shimano just a different color.

KANSAS CITY, MO. – Iowa Wesleyan College ranked among the leaders nationally in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) when the governing body released its list of Daktronics-NAIA Volleyball Scholar-Athletes recently.
A total of six IWC volleyball players were named national NAIA Scholar-Athletes. Receiving the award were seniors Katie Leidl (Esterhazy, Saskatchewan) and Brittany Richardson (Benton, Ill.) and juniors Elizabeth Hemman (St. Peters, Mo.), Katie Jammer (Green Bay, Wis.), B.J. Wagy (Cedar Rapids, Iowa) and Kendra Zimmerman (Green Bay, Wis.).
Nominated by each institution's head coach, a student-athlete must maintain a minimum grade point average of 3.5 on a 4.0 scale and have achieved junior academic status to qualify for the award. A total of 303 volleyball players across the NAIA received the award this year, including 26 from the Midwest Collegiate Conference.
IWC finished tops among MCC schools for most student-athletes receiving the award and tied three other schools for the third-most Scholar-Athletes across the NAIA. Carroll (Mont.) College had eight players receive the award and Dakota Wesleyan (S.D.) University had seven players named Scholar-Athletes. Briar Cliff (Iowa) University, Hastings (Neb.) College and Tabor (Kan.)

The 'Art Works' grant will support jazz performances by Cuban musicians and educational outreach associated with the performances
Easton, PA (PRWEB) December 07, 2012
Lafayette has received a $15,000 Art Works grant from the National Endownment for the Arts to support up to five jazz performances by award-winning Cuban musicians during the 2013-14 season at the College's Williams Center for the Arts.
The competitive grant will also fund educational outreach activities associated with the performances.
Artists under consideration for the "Decoding the Cuban Jazz Genome" series include alto saxophonist and multiple Grammy-winner Paquito D'Rivera; Dafnis Prieto, a Cuban-American drummer and 2011 MacArthur Fellow; the three-time Grammy nominated music group Tiempo Libre; pianist and composer Fabian Almazan; and Grammy-winning jazz composer and pianist Gonzalo Rubalcaba.
"The NEA grant is the most competitive grant in the country, says Ellis Finger, director of the Williams Center. "It reflects well on Lafayette that the NEA has once again bestowed upon us an award."
This is the 12th consecutive year the college has received an NEA grant for musical performances.
Lafayette's grant is one of 832 Art Works grants totaling $23.3 million in funding that supports projects spanning 13 artistic disciplines and fields.
"These projects offer extraordinary examples of creativity in our country, including the creation of new work, innovative ways of engaging audiences and exemplary education programs," says NEA Chairman Rocco Landesman.
For a complete listing of projects recommended for NEA grant support, visit the NEA website at arts.gov.

I went to my dad's house last week, and took my aunt (his "big" sister) along for the ride.
Along the way, I asked her how she met her husband, and got a new little tidbit of information for the family archives.
Went graving at St. Joe Cemetery, which I refer to as the Burris burying ground. Found Aunt Margaret Jane Burris Moore's stone and photographed it.
After lunch at Dad's, we wandered downstairs and I spied a couple of photos I didn't have in our electronic archives.
A photo of my step-mom's dad in 1956 with his dog, Lonesome.
Paul Pettit, with Lonesome
There was one of Aunt Emma, and her husband, Tom Crites, taken about 1935. They don't look 50 years old to me.
Dora Emma Burris and Walter Thomas "Tommy" Crites
I asked my step-mom to scan and email the pics.
Got them today.
And a bonus.
When I called to thank her, dad answered the phone. I asked him about this last one, which is a photo of my dear step-mom on her 60th birthday.
He said he had been out and about and just ran by a store that made birthday cakes.
When he got it home, my step-mom told him it was the first birthday cake she ever had.
So this one is precious to all of us...

Football: Rebel Hell: Dragons run through Richland; win 63-7
By Matthew Costa, Staff Writer
SOUTHLAKE-The Southlake Carroll football team (5-1, 3-0 in district 4-5A) continued its pursuit of a District 4-5A Title with another lopsided home performance against Richland (2-4, 0-3 in district 4-5A), claiming a 63-7 victory Friday.
Carroll head coach Hal Wasson did not need to motivate his team after going down by 7 inside the first three minutes of the first quarter, but instead chose to rely on his playmakers on offense to get his team the lead.
"The game's not about one play or one series," he said. "It's about a combination of things and how we chose to respond."
Senior quarterback and Texas A&M commit Kenny Hill took over for Carroll on its first drive, moving the ball 94 yards in six plays and evened the score at 7-7 on a 15-yard scramble to the left side of his line, outrunning several Rebels defenders to the corner.
"He's an amazing player," said Tanner Jacobson, senior defensive back. "Sometimes I like to sit back and watch Kenny work. He's definitely a guy who you like to play with, not against."
A three-and-out by the Richland offense on its following drive gave Hill and the offense an early chance to gain the lead and the chance was quickly cashed in on. Hill would add another rushing touchdown, following a 47-yard pass to senior receiver Mike Gardiner that brought the Dragons down to the 5-yard line, as Carroll went in front, 14-7.
The Dragons offense did not let up in the first quarter, gaining 147 yards on the ground in eight attempts and 273 yards total.
Hill kept the pressure on, scoring on rushing touchdowns of 36 and 48 yards to give the Dragons a 28-7 lead before the first 11 minutes had ended. The quarterback completed 8-of-12 passes for 237 yards and two touchdowns to go along with his four rushing scores and 127 yards on the ground in the first half alone.
"Once I got past the lines it was just an open field," Hill said. "My receivers got good blocks and sprung me for those long touchdowns."
The offensive explosion in the first half resulted in a 49-7 Dragons lead, as they outgained Richland, 419-185, in total yards, including 182 on the ground for Carroll.
Most of the first team was replaced midway through the third quarter as sophomore quarterback and receiver Ryan Agnew took the reins from Hill but did not stop the attack.
Agnew finished the Dragons' night with two more touchdowns, one apiece on the ground and through the air, to go with his 144 total yards.
The sophomore's scores finalized the game's total, as the Dragons remained undefeated in district play.
"We knew we had to come out and have a big game just for momentum's sake," Hill said. "We'll come back and prepare hard again [for next week]."
Carroll will battle for sole possession of the district lead Friday at 7:30 p.m. when it takes on Justin Northwest.

Hi there-
I'm looking at upgrading my guitar and whilst I don't have a fortune to spend I think I could probably afford an Avalon Silver series. I'm just wondering where is the best place to buy from? I don't see any listed on the Avalon site, or indeed on the price list. I've been quite tempted by a few on eBay... is this my best bet?
Thanks for any advice you can send my way!

[caption id="attachment_1052" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Hermit's Peak"][/caption] One hundred seventy-five years ago, the storm and thunder of native elk swarmed the piñon-laced hills outside of Las Vegas, New Mexico. The land looked different then. Beaver claimed the Rio Gallinas in numbers much larger than today. The river bent to nature's whims, snaking around geological dips in the landscape, flooding the plains during spring thaw. The land grew wetter, greener, and denser. Prairie dogs dotted the landscape with cavernous burrows. They chewed the delicate native grasses, prompting the growth of tender shoots that elk love to explode across the plains. It's difficult to imagine how Las Vegas used to appear before cattle barons carved the land and shifted the balance of natural power, forced thick fence stakes into the red earth in order to keep the neighbors and Native Americans at bay, before fur trappers scented rusting traps with the glands of dead beaver in the hopes of snagging a fat prize. In 1835, Spanish settlers applied for a communal land grant from Mexico, asked to settle in a rolling valley beneath the Sangre de Christo Mountains. New Mexico wasn't yet a State of the Union.

- The Ghost of Byron T. Mills
[caption id="attachment_1009" align="aligncenter" width="507" caption="Actual photograph of the ghost of Byron T. Mills"][/caption] The Plaza Hotel is home to one of the most-loved and active ghosts in Northeastern New Mexico, Byron T. Mills. A former owner of the hotel, Byron acted as town Mayor and as a territorial representative. Mills Avenue carries his name. In fact, his ego was so large that he named it after himself. He died in 1947, at the Elks Lodge, but still lives today in the room – 310 – that he loved. Jesika, a young woman manning the hotel front desk shivered when I asked her about Byron T. She showed me a photograph kept behind the desk. The ghost's room looks normal, looks wellkept, clean, tastefully appointed with a thick comforter and elegant drapes. And in one chair, at a small round table, a translucent man gestures, his profile caught in animated conversation. Byron T. "He scares me!" she exclaimed. "He likes to bother women. People hear him walking in the room. Sometimes he locks the doors and makes noise. I don't like the third floor at all." Click. My trusty camera attempted to capture the elusive, the memory of events that happened…

Woman accidentally shoots man in leg at gun range
MYAKKA CITY, Fla. (AP) — Authorities in Manatee County say no charges will be filed against a woman who accidentally shot her fiance in the leg at a gun range.
The couple was with a large group shooting at Manatee Gun and Archery Club in Myakka City on Saturday afternoon. The sheriff's office report says a casing flew from the woman's gun and landed inside her blouse, causing her to flinch. She bent over to get the casing out of her blouse when the gun accidentally fired.
The bullet hit the man in his right thigh, passing through his leg.
He was taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
The Sarasota Herald Tribune reports the shooting was ruled an accident after deputies interviewed witnesses at the gun range. The couple was not identified.

"On February 22, 2013 the Catoosa County Sheriff's Office received a request from local attorney McCracken Poston to 'invite the Georgia Bureau of Investigations to look into matters' involving Federal Agent Ken Hillman of the FBI.
"These matters have to do with alleged indiscretions, policy and procedural violations involving agent Hillman and Mr. Poston's client's soon-to-be ex-wife.
"Mr. Poston did not allege any wrongdoing involving employees of the Catoosa County Sheriff's Office.
"Any issues Mr. Poston may have with Agent Hillman should be addressed with the Federal Bureau of Investigations. It is my understanding that they are conducting an internal investigation at his request. Neither the Catoosa County Sheriff's Office nor the Georgia Bureau of Investigations investigate policy and/or procedural violations of Federal Agents or get involved in civil divorce cases. I do not feel this is a wise expense of the taxpayer's money when it does not affect the duty of my office.
"The Sheriffs Office will fully cooperate with the Federal Bureau of Investigations internal investigation when and if the time comes."
In response to sheriff Gary Sisk's statement, attorney McCracken Poston has issued this statement:
"The information regarding these traffic stops must be pretty hot for the Sheriff's office to try to shut it down like this!
"Once again, I am not the attorney of record for Emerson Russell. R. Kevin Silvey is his attorney.
"The matters requested of the Sheriff to review happened long before Agent Ken Hillman even knew the Russell family, and have nothing to do with any divorce action. The matters requested of the Sheriff to review are the decisions and actions of his department on how it conducted itself after a series of traffic stops that involved a federal agent.
"It is a clever ploy to try to cast these issues in the light of a divorce case, but as I said, these issues involve our Sheriff's department's actions, inactions and decisions long before the agent at issue met any of the Russell's.
"While the FBI has in fact conducted a preliminary investigation of Ken Hillman, the FBI will have no jurisdiction in the issue of the actions of the Catoosa County Sheriff's Department. Any series of decisions by our Sheriff's Department to authorize multiple suspected DUI stops on the same individual to become courtesy taxi services for the suspect are decisions that the taxpayers of Catoosa County would like to look into. Of course, Sheriff Sisk was a high ranking officer in the previous administration when these questionable decisions were made. I have no idea if he knew about them at the time, but his reluctance to conduct his office with transparency is troubling.
"I'm sure the Sheriff either knows or has at least done some level of inquiry in his own department. I think he should answer a few simple questions:
"1) Was his department involved in traffic stops of FBI Agent Ken Hillman? When, and what were the nature of those stops?
"2) What was the response of the Sheriff's Department to those stops? Who made the ultimate decisions?
"3) Was a federal agent allowed to "phone a friend" or was another person allowed to come pick up the agent to keep him from continuing to drive?
"4) Was a federal agent allowed to continue driving after a traffic stop when there was evidence that he should not have been allowed to continue driving?
"The citizens deserve to have confidence in their government, and because of the diversion tactics used today they will now go without the assurances that a review by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation could have given them.
"I am a citizen of Catoosa County. I do not think I am alone in wanting these questions answered."

Done the marathon twice. Victoria is a great city and very walkable. Good pubs, great hotels, stuff to do. Hotels are near the start/finish - EASY! Packet pick-up near hotels - EASY! Race shirt and jacket - Good Quality! Food after - YUMMY! Hills - rolling, not too bad. Will definitely come back another year.
The full marathon course has its share of rolling hills, some of which hurt near the end. So if you're a flat-lander like me, do some hill training. The hurt certainly doesn't detract from the wonderful course, the high energy and well stocked aid stations, the beautiful neighbourhoods and inspiring ocean views. The volunteers at the finish are supportive, friendly and there is plenty of post-race fuel for all. LOVED that we got chocolate milk! Highly recommend this one.
I love this race! I have run the half and the full and I have been totally impressed with both. The course is great, the aid stations are perfectly spaced. This year the shirt was actually a nice jacket! I love the size of it as well. It feels big because of the other races and the support of the community but while you are running you have plenty of space.
This was my 4th time running the marathon here and loved every minute of it. The course is fantastic, the organization could not be better and the fans inspiring. The weather was perfect and whole atmosphere was extremely upbeat. I only have a couple of suggestions and one is to start the marathon earlier. 8:45 am is too late on a warm sunny day. Us slower marathoners had to run in the blazing sun in mid day, had it been any warmer this would have caused problems. I heard a marathoner saying that last year she only just made it in under the five and a half hour cut off as she was having a lot of pain. I think the early start should be more flexible and allow runners five hours and longer to start early. I was in under 5 hours but I would have not have liked to worry about the cut off time if I was having a bad day. Other than these two points the race was totally positive. Rob Reid is a great race director and ambassador for the city. The jacket the marathoners received was excellent and good quality too. This race always has the best shirts and this time jackets. Nice medals and I received a beautiful age group award. Excellent job and thank you for a great race experience.
We ran the very popular half marathon. Course is beautiful - run right along the ocean. This is the 33rd year of this race, and you can tell they know what they're doing. Finish area very well organized with medals, medical support and food readily available. Lovely city and great fans along the route. Highly recommended.
Having read complaints about previous years problems with food after the race and water along the course I was a little worried. But that was not my experience in the 2012 race. The course was beautiful, the hills are rolling and scattered throughout the course -nothing too steep or long (at least compared to Seattle where I live and train). There was plentiful cytomax and water at all stops and there was loads of food after the race (I finished after 4:30 so with their early start for the 5:30+ folks, there weren't too many people finishing after me I imagine). Crowd support was sparse in places but the water and mountain views made up for it. Bib pickup was simple and the starting line organization was simple since the marathon had less than 2000 people running with a separate start time for the half marathoners. You just showed up and started off. I started toward the back and crossed the starting line just a minute after the gun time start. Victoria is a great place to visit too. I highly recommend this marathon as a destination marathon.
This was my 10th marathon and I was impressed with the organization. Quick, easy package pickup, start line was well orgainzed and aid stations were well manned. It's not an easy course, the last 15k are hilly and against the wind. Probably one of the best finish line race food tables that I've had.
My wife & I did the half as our 30th anniversary vacation and loved every minute of our stay in Victoria. The route was not difficult by any means. Running along Dallas Road and finishing in front of the parliment building was great. Great organization on race day though the race kit pick up has room for improvement. Great pubs with excellent local beers and everything is within walking distance down town. If you're interested in vacation races this should be on the list.
Done the race twice but limited aid stations that were emptied out by the the half marathon racers. Carry your own supplies. No fuel or water for 15 plus km is unacceptable. Gave the organization a pass one year, but not two. Spend more time on your athletes in the full or else just scrap it and make money off the half.
This was a very well organized event, which was what made the parts of the race itself so disappointing. I was around the 73 percentile or so on the finish list. At the turning point, 23K, there was no water available - they were out. There was Gatorade. This is pretty much how it went at a number of the hydration stations on the way back. For some reason near the end of the course there were three hydration stations within what seemed like five kilometers. What was most worrisome was that there were only two gel stations on the course (really one that you ran by twice), but on the way back there were NO gels. I had taken extra, so for me it wasn't too bad, but for some people this must have been a real problem. The course is fairly consistent with its slightly rolling hills - nothing extreme, just consistent. Book hotels early or consider a B&B in Victoria, as they are plentiful. Beautiful course!
