An Oklahoma Turnpike Authority spokesman said crews will be out beginning Monday evening and continuing through the night.
The Oklahoma Turnpike Authority has more than 35,000 tons of salt on hand along 97 spreaders and 119 plows to clear the highways of snow.
11:15 a.m. With a 90 percent chance of snow on Christmas Day, state Transportation Department officials are getting ready to work on roadways, spokesman Cody Boyd said. The department has 550 trucks statewide, 60 of those in Oklahoma City can spread sand and salt on slick spots. About 1,000 workers are on standby if needed on Christmas Day, Boyd said. They will work as long as needed, he said.
In Oklahoma City, the new Interstate 40 Crosstown will be easier to manage in the event of snow because it is not elevated and has wider shoulders for snowplows to pile any snow if needed, Boyd said.
Oklahoma Gas & Electric Co. officials are ready to active an incident command system, spokeswoman Kathleen O'Shea said. This would deploy crews to any areas of power outages.
"We've been tracking this and are getting updates from the weather service," O'Shea said. "At this point we're still watching and waiting."
Forrest Mitchell, a meteorologist in the National Weather Service in Norman, said a short period of freezing rain or sleet is expected before the snowfall in central Oklahoma. Roadways will be slick before snow starts just after midnight, he said.
"We're going to try to arrange it so Santa Claus can make his rounds before the snow starts," Mitchell said.
9:15 a.m. Oklahoma City street crews will have 33 trucks ready to spread salt mixtures on icy roads, overpasses and bridges on Christmas Day, spokeswoman Kristy Yager said. Crews are loading trucks with salt Monday morning and heading toward bridges and overpasses. It will take about five hours for 12 trucks to cover city bridges and overpasses, she said. The city crews have 621 miles to cover. Snowplows can be attached to some trucks. Drifts are expected Tuesday. Crews will be on standby at midnight, Yager said.
"Our trucks are ready. We will do what we can," she said.
5:45 a.m. Up to 7 inches of snow are possible on Christmas Day in Oklahoma City, the National Weather Service reports Monday morning.
A winter storm warning has been issued for central Oklahoma Monday. The warning takes effect at midnight Monday and lasts until midnight Tuesday.

A member of the education community of Rockingham, who was honored with a state title more than 30 years ago, is set to be honored once more.
Ruth Watkins of Rockingham was named North Carolina Teacher of the Year in 1978. She will be honored among 14 other 'stars' at her alma mater, North Carolina Central University in Durham, on Saturday.
Watkins' teaching career began in Richmond County.
"She started at Leak Street," said her husband and former principal of Leak Street School, J.C. Watkins. "She was an excellent teacher. I know, I hired her."
However, by the time she was nominated Teacher of the Year, she was teaching at Richmond Senior High School, said J.C. Watkins.
Watkins explained that each school nominates a teacher, and a teacher must be selected from among those in the school district that have been chosen. Ruth Watkins nearly didn't make it, but one vote broke the tie in her favor. She was also selected to represent the district.
"She competed with 12 other districts in the state," said J.C. Watkins. "A state committee interviewed her."
Ruth Watkins has since retired from the school district. She and her husband live in Rockingham.
In October, Ruth Watkins got a letter from North Carolina Central University, inviting her to be honored at the Cecelia Steppe-Jones Endowed Scholarship Benefit and Auction.
"During the 1978-79 school year, you were named N.C. State Teacher of the Year," said the letter from Edith Thorpe, development officer. "What a major accomplishment and a true testament to your commitment to education, the power profession! Because of your achievement, your alma mater, North Carolina Central University, would like to honor you along with other alumni who have been named national, state, regional or district teacher of the year. Congratulations!"
According to J.C. Watkins, Ruth won't be able to attend the event on Saturday at 7 p.m., but someone has agreed to stand in for her.
"We are extremely sorry to hear you are under the weather and wish you a speedy recovery," said the letter from Thorpe. "Today, I spoke with Mrs. Ellain McGhee-Brooks who has agreed to attend the Cecelia Steppe-Jones Endowed Scholarship Benefit and Auction in your stead."
The H.M. Michaux Jr. School of Education will present Honoring Fifteen of our Brightest Stars on the NCCU campus in the School of Education auditorium. Proceeds from the evening will benefit the scholarship fund.
From 1945 until 1976, Ruth Watkins taught French and Social Studies in Moore and Richmond County Schools. She served as President of Southeast Region Association of Classroom Teachers from 1976-77. She served as president of the North Carolina Association of Educators and was also assistant principal of Hamlet Junior High School. In 1978, Ruth Watkins served as a North Carolina Association of Educators Delegate to the world conference on the teaching profession in Jakarta, Indonesia. Ruth Watkins' other professional experience and affiliations stretch for pages.

Learn more about Operation Noel, donate to the charity
For more than 69 years, Operation Noel has looked out for some of our area's neediest children.
The charity has evolved over the years, but its primary mission today is to provide new winter coats to more than 18,000 children in the region whose families cannot afford to buy the coats for them. This is possible through community donations both individual and corporate. One hundred percent of the donations go toward paying the bill for the new coats, which is approximately $243,000.00, or approximately $13.50 per coat.
Operation Noel is a non-profit organization, funds for Operation Noel are raised through the efforts of the HUB International, Mattress Firm, El Paso Times, and a "mini" telethon on KVIA News Channel 7.
The charity's main fundraising campaign is done throughout the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday season, but donations are accepted year-round.
Operation Noel is one of the only nonprofit charities in the area that allocate 100 percent of donations to the cause. Everyone who works with Operation Noel does so on a volunteer basis, so there is no overhead cost.
For many area children, Operation Noel is their only hope of getting a new winter coat. Over the years, we have heard of Operation Noel coats being passed on to younger children in the family.
The children who receive the coats are identified by area social workers, educators and school counselors.
KVIA will have a mini-telethon from 6:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. Nov. 29. The station also will be collecting donations for Operation Noel throughout that day through every newscast starting with Good Morning El Paso at 5 a.m.
Make a donation to Operation Noel here.

Some franchises will never die. They just multiply.
The last time audiences got to see an Amityville Horror movie in theaters was the 2005 remake starring Ryan Reynolds and Melissa George. Now two Amityvilles will be arriving in 2012.
Dimension and Miramax will release The Amityville Horror: The Lost Tapes first on January 27, 2012. The two studios announced the project over the weekend at the Cannes Film Festival, HitFix reports. According to the press release, The Lost Tapes is a "found footage" horror movie that follows "an ambitious female television news intern, on the verge of breaking the most famous haunted house case in the world, leading a team of journalists, clergymen, and paranormal researchers into an investigation of the bizarre events that will come to be known as 'The Amityville Horror' ... only to unwittingly open a door to the unreal that she may never be able to close."

You've been going on through numerous posts about how the ending didn't sit well with you and despite numerous attempts by myself and others to bring you some form of closure with some very lengthy and well thought out posts, I mention the one part I wasn't satisfied with and you pretty much brush it off as something that we shouldn't even bother with talking about? Spoiler AlertThe whole catnapper thing kept weaving it's way into the story for a huge percentage of the game and was tied directly to the main theme of the Lost Crown and the sinister Alger brothers. It was constantly there with missing cat posters, yet another cat goes missing, etc. It was nothing like going around picking berries and other ingredients for a meal - THAT was a minor subplot. While I would hardly call it a major plot theme or a big deal, I wasn't minor either. What I do find amusing is that while I found the capture of the culprit didn't sit well with me, for some reason this is being labeled as a cat-owner or cat lover thing is laughable. I don't see any posts criticizing the actual act of catnapping or what happened with them. As far as I'm concerned, it could have been someone stealing jewels, money, dogs, bicycles, or any other thing - it was how it all suddenly ended that didn't sit well. It reminded me a lot of these Nancy Drew games where everyone could be guilty and then suddenly they grab someone and it is wrapped up with an explanation. They could have grabbed any characters in the game and given an explanation as to why it was them and it would have fit. Spoiler AlertIn this case with TLC , if Nanny Noah was the one arrested, we would have said, "Ahh! of course. She hated cats and was overly curious about my progress." If it was the woman at the bar, we would have said, "Ahh!, of course. She was always acting suspicious and dodging my questions." As it turns out, Mr. Gruel was arrested and people are saying, "Ahh, of course. He was a nutjob and his initials were on a piece of paper." Sure Jonathan posted about it on his site. Mr. Gruel it is. I can accept that. I just wasn't very happy with the way it all got resolved - just like Steve wasn't happy with the way it ended. I'm just glad I can easily dismiss this and walk away extremely satisfied with the game as a whole, while Steve bases his entire opinion of the 30+ hour game on the last few minutes because everything didn't get tied up nice and neatly to his satisfaction. Did you ever think that maybe it wasn't satisfying because you were too quick to brush things off as being minor subplots and somehow missed how everything fit together? |

Deleted User | Ok, Ivinia, I apologise what I said in my previous post, about the cat-lovers. I hadn't meant to brush it aside as if it wasn't important. Spoiler AlertI do understand what you are saying about the whole plot not being interwoven enough. Perhaps Jonathan should have given the Gruel story and the Gruel character more depth to make the whole thing more believable than simply saying: "Yeah, Gruel hated the cats." I also feel that the whole story with him being "posessed' or "obssessed" by the Agers, wasn't interwoven enough from the beginning. Although one did receive the constant poison letters, - in my game, I hardly ever interacted with Gruel. The only interaction we had, was with him hiding behind Jemima, and it was a single conversation, IIRC. In that sense, the cat story is unsatisfying, as it closes with a character that one hardly knows. Even Hardacre is a better-known quantity, and would therefore have been a more satisfying catnapper. As I had said before, to me the photographs in the net hut left me with a big question mark in the air as well. Also, why did Gruel hate Nigel so much in particular? Why not also Hardacre, as Hardacre was also searching for the crown? Admittedly, there was something that gave one a clue to the "Ager obsession", and that was the fact that Gruel had that Ager journal in his posession. But despite that, I agree that the plot still is too thin. EDIT: Like you said in an earlier post, Ivinia, it would have been more satisfying if we as the player guessed who the culprit was. Spoiler AlertThe best tool to achieve this, would have been to have left an obvious clue for the player in the net hut, that pointed at Gruel. You could then have called up the police, and given them the identity of the culprit, the same way that you called them and gave them the identity of the Saxton skeleton, by choosing from a list of names. |

Steve VSorcerer ApprenticePosts : 265 Joined: 16 MAR 2008 Status : Online | Ivinia, I am not arguing that the catnapping 'theme' did not permeate most of the game, simply that in the end it was irellevant to the crux of the story. Yes, I am whining about things not being wrapped up satisfactorily (to my mind) because Spoiler AlertI don't think Mr Boakes understood that how he envisaged the ending explains little or nothing about the main focus of the plot..Does Danvers end up in Saxton by chance or is the whole thing pre determined? Are his actions entirely manipulated by Hadden and if so, Why? If Dark Fall 3 answers these questions then I will accept that TLC was designed specifically to leave them hanging in the air, to be resolved at a later time, rather than as an oversight on the part of the designer. |

Oh, cripes - let me just go and load the game again, and read that book with the Grindle story again... :'( |

TLC definaetely has it´s shortcomings but on the whole it´s been a satisfying gaming experience. Would have been a VERY satisfying one if not for the lackluster ending. It has it´s merits but come on Mr. Boakes .... That´s it ? I hope for an eye opening blog entry in the future ... People shouldn´t expect that DARK FALL III is going to tie up LOST CROWN´s loose ends. It would be stupid ... So now to the questions: Could somebody tell me what happened to Spoiler Alert all the Ager brothers ? OK ... we got rid of Thomas (rector of church, killed Gurney) & Nathaniel (built Organ in Ulcombe Church) in Northfield/Ulcombe Church. But what about Frederick (built Net Store House aka Nightmare Room) & William (last of the Agers, killed Emily) ? Did Nigel destroy Frederick´s evil spirit in the Nightmare Room ? Can´t remember, was too busy crappin my pants back then And what about William Ager ? This is just the beginning ...

He said something about seeing as he had defeated them, why does it feel as if they are still watching him. However, to be honest, now that I think about it, I don't remember any clear indication that he had defeated William. Maybe he did simply by giving Emily the Pasque flower, and thereby setting her free? |

colpetSchattenjgerPosts : 1630 Joined: 12 APR 2003 Status : Offline | I finished the game recently and read through this thread, plus the ones at AG and GB. This game sure sparks a lot of discussion. Heres my take on it. I'm in with the computer generated camp. Spoiler Alert Hadden Industries found a way to access the spiritual world using computer generated virtual worlds. Then one of 2 possibilities they send someone in as an experiment to see what happens, or they know about the Lost Crown, and want to find it for themselves. I believe that Nigel, Lucy, Alex and possibly a few others (Morgan, Professor Oogle and Rys) are contempory people. Nigel and Lucy work for Hadden and are friends (hence the pictures of them) . Nigel is sent into the virtual computer world of Saxton as an avatar, and is given a new life history (1978, stole documents, being persued). Saxton is virtual world based on information that Hadden gets from Hardacre. Prior to Nigel going into Saxton, they sent in Hardacre as the first experiment. I think he dies in the process. Thats why he appears in the game as both an avatar and a spirit. Saxton is populated by both spirits and avatars of people made up by Hadden, possible based on people they used to get information to create Saxton in the first place. The non-spirit avatars Alex, Morgan, etc.- have preprogrammed behavior. Only Nigel ( and Lucy to some extent on an off and on basis) is able to change events, and act independently While Nigel is in Saxton, he communes with the spirit world. He also develops the desire to find the Lost Crown for himself. While interacting with the spirits, he is able to help a few, thus sending them to rest. Some he cannot help Rose and Bobs grief over their lost son, Gruels dementia from losing Jemima. He also encounters evil spirits, the Agers. As he exposes their crimes, their evil influence disappears. When he actually has the Lost Crown in his possession, he has a dream of what happened to Hardacre when he had the Lost Crown. That dream becomes a virtual reality the next day. Because of the attitude of the inhabitants and his belief that the power of the Crown protects Saxton (perhaps even being the power source that allows he spirits to roam), he has second thoughts. Hadden then wants to pull him back using Lucy. Perhaps they want Nigel to bring out the Crown, or they feel Nigels life was in danger like Hardacres. Nigel goes back to return the Crown, and is supported in his endeavor by Saxtons residents. He is returned to the present successfully. Occasionally visiting Uru Live (KI 0063722 .&& |

Steve VSorcerer ApprenticePosts : 265 Joined: 16 MAR 2008 Status : Online | Colpet, The one thing that I don't get about that line of thought is Spoiler AlertWhy isn't Hadden bothered when Danvers returns the Crown? If the main plot was supposed to be to get the Crown for him, then he should be irate when Nigel puts it back, instead he offers him a job. I think you are on the right track in that the whole game seems to be a test to see if Danvers is worthy of Hadden's time, but to what end is unclear.. |

I used to believe this city had hope, yet now the only hope I see is escape. I used to believe that there was more to this place than met the eye, but reality has set in. The Tone, what a fucking joke. As my time in this city comes to an end I've come to realize the truth. This place is nothing more than a failed city on a crash course towards mayhem, it always has been. The college was once a haven but the filth has crept into it's halls as well. What this city needs is a merciless purge of the cancer that grows inside it, but that purge will never come. Some things just aren't worth saving and this city is one of them.
I wake up every morning only to catch that Stockton stench, that smell of ghetto scum. It's thick and exhausting. It's negative culture, it's negative people, hell, it's god damn air. It's made me a negative person once again. Even the college has fallen victim to the city, the counselors preach failure more than anything else. It's hard to hold on to hope when the people who are supposed to help you move forward feel more like they're trying to prevent you from moving at all. It's all bullshit and it's taken its toll. You can only keep the anger at bay for so long and at some point you can let it consume you or choose to embrace it. I guess you could say this city has broken me. Despite how resilient I thought I was, it's changed me.

Low-Carb Diet Reduces Blood PressurePosted: Sunday, February 07, 2010Researchers have found a low-carbohydrate diet helps people lose weight as effectively as a popular weight loss drug, and trumps the drug at lowering blood pressure. Researchers of Veterans Affairs Medical Center and Duke University Medical Center have shown low-carb diets are more successful in lowering blood pressure than the weight-loss drug orlistat. "If people have high blood pressure and a weight problem, a low-carbohydrate diet might be a better option than a weight loss medication," lead study author William S. Yancy, Jr., M.D., was quoted as saying. The study included 146 overweight participants who had typically associated health problems such as diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and arthritis. Over the year-long study, patients improved their cholesterol and glucose levels and lost an average of almost 10 percent of their body weight. Most importantly, almost half of the participants who followed the low-carb diet decreased or discontinued their high blood pressure medication compared to 21 percent of the orlistat plus low-fat diet group. Dr. Yancy stated that, "I expected the weight loss to be considerable with both therapies, but we were surprised to see blood pressure improve so much more with the low-carbohydrate diet than with orlistat,".

Free Starry Night software (a $69.90 value)
Although perfect for beginning stargazers, this tabletop reflector telescope is not a toy! With its substantial, 100mm aperture parabolic primary mirror boasting a 400mm focal length, the compact Orion StarSeeker 100mm TableTop Reflector telescope will amaze you and your family with gorgeous, detailed views of the night sky.
With this capable reflector, you can study the Moon's cratered surface in detail, exploring highland mountains and vast, planar lunar "seas" of dark material. Bright planets like Jupiter, Saturn, and Mars shine bright in the SkyScanner 100mm Reflector, even when viewing from urban locations with mediocre seeing conditions. On especially clear evenings when viewing from areas with dark skies, the pint-sized Orion SkyScanner telescope can gather enough light for views of open and globular star clusters, bright cloudy nebulas, and even a few distant galaxies.
The SkyScanner includes two 1.25" eyepieces for magnification variety right out of the box. The included 20mm eyepiece provides moderate 20x power magnification, while the 10mm eyepiece boosts the view up to 40x power for higher magnification observations. Both eyepieces accept 1.25" Orion eyepiece filters (sold separately) so you can enhance views easily with specialty filters. An included Orion EZ Finder II reflex sight makes aiming the SkyScanner nice and "EZ." After a simple alignment procedure, simply place the EZ Finder II's red-dot on top of the area or object you want to see, and it will appear in the reflector telescope's field of view.
The Orion SkyScanner 100mm TableTop Reflector is just the right size – large enough to see night sky objects yet compact enough to sit on a desk. Thanks to its small stature, the SkyScanner is a great grab-and-go telescope for visual adventures as close as the backyard table, or as far as your favorite remote dark sky site. More experienced amateur astronomers can use the easily portable SkyScanner 100mm Reflector as a quick-draw alternative to more complicated setups.
If there isn't a table nearby when you want to use the SkyScanner 100mm TableTop Reflector telescope, you can easily attach its wooden altazimuth base to a field tripod. There is a threaded socket on the bottom of the telescope's base so it can be coupled to a field tripod equipped with a 3/8" threaded post. A small 3/8"-to-1/4"-20 bushing is also included if you wish to attach the SkyScanner to a tripod featuring a 1/4"-20 threaded post. Alternatively, the SkyScanner 100mm Reflector optical tube can be separated from its base for attachment to any narrow-format dovetail saddle found on most Orion equatorial (EQ) and altazimuth mounts and tripods.
An amazing telescope value at an affordable price, the Orion SkyScanner 100mm TableTop Reflector is an ideal beginner's telescope capable of providing hours of family fun exploring the cosmos.

Democrats Pumping Big Bucks Into Indiana Senate Race
By: Michael C. Fehn
Updated: June 15, 2012
The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee put the money behind an ad attacking Republican Candidate Richard Mourdock.
The ad begins airing statewide on Friday, and will run for two weeks.
The 30-second spot revolves around Mourdock's previous statement that the purpose of politics is to inflict his opinions on others.
This counters national Republicans spending 620-thousand dollars on their own ad attacking Democrat, Joe Donnelly.

The Vaccines have only been together for two years, but they seem to have struck something with their second album, Come of Age. Like the title might suggest, it's unknown as to whether the band has grown up personally, but they've definitely developed musically between albums.
Come of Age pulls from some of the band's most apparent influences, from the Strokes formula used on opening track No Hope to the props they give to surf-rock and Ramones-esque riffs on other tracks throughout the album. That being said, though, The Vaccines do succeed in adapting other people's sounds and crafting their own distinct sound on this cohesive album.
Highlights include Teenage Icon, where lead singer Justin Young claims that he's no teenage icon and Ghost Town with its menacing, bouncy bass and razor sharp riffs cutting through each verse.
This is only the band's second album, but if this is what the process of growing up and maturing sounds like, we can't wait to hear the full-fledged grown up album to come. At this rate, they've already come into their own as a band so they can only go up from here.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Four federal agencies and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation have come up with a plan for improving the protection of sites held sacred by American Indians and Alaska Natives.
The plan announced Tuesday stems from a memorandum of understanding signed in December by the council and the departments of Agriculture, Defense, Energy and Interior. They all agreed to work together over the next five years to protect sacred sites as well as improve access for tribal members to sites that are on federal land.
Interior Secretary Ken Salazar says the new plan will help guide the agencies, which have a responsibility to respect and foster tribal heritage.
Salazar also says his department plans to put together a report on several listening sessions on sacred sites that were held last year.

Phthalo Blue PB15:1 is a structural variant of Phthalo Blue PB15 that produces more reddish tones.
Phthalo Blues are completely lightfast and stable and are permanent for all paint uses. They are currently used in inks, coatings, and many plastics due to their stability and are considered a standard pigment in printing ink and the packaging industry.
Phthalo Blues have no significant hazards, although those made before 1982 contained some PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls).
Developed by chemists using the trade name Monastral Blue, the organic blue dyestuff now known as Phthalo Blue was presented as a pigment in November 1935 in London. Its discovery was accidental. The dark color was observed in a kettle where a dye was being made from a British dyestuff plant. The demand for such a pigment came from commercial printers who wanted a cyan to replace Prussian Blue.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- The Syracuse City School District is getting recognition for their efforts to improve the district.
The New York State Education Department announced Syracuse as one of ten districts whose teacher evaluation plan has been adopted as a model for other schools to follow.
State officials say Syracuse's plan stood out because it focused well on improving educational methods and effectiveness.
"The goal of the law, the way that it was designed was to really focus on those multiple opportunities for teachers and leaders to demonstrate their effectiveness. And I think that the Syracuse plan does that well," said New York State Deputy Education Commissioner.
A state law requires roughly 700 school districts to have approved evaluations by January 2013 in order to receive their portion of the $805 million increase in state aid.

Steve Arne has been involved in the electrical industry since 1974 working in various positions from electrician to full time instructor and department chair in technical post secondary education. Steve has taught electrical topics including electrical code and apprenticeship training classes as well as university business classes. Steve has developed curriculum for many electrical training courses and has developed university business and leadership courses while working as a Curriculum Development Specialist. Currently, Steve offers occasional exam prep and continuing education code classes. Steve has a bachelor's degree in technical education and a master's degree in administrative studies with a human resources emphasis. Licenses held by Steve include electrical master, electrical inspector, electrical contractor and real estate home inspector. Steve is a board member of the Black Hills Chapter of the SD Electrical Council and a member of the SD Real Estate Task Force on Home Inspection. Steve enjoys developing his own websites. Steve and his lovely wife Deb have celebrated over 32 years of marriage in Rapid City, South Dakota where they are both active in their church and community. They have two grown children and 5 grandchildren. Their daughter Jolene is a registered nurse and their son Ryan works as an electrician and construction supervisor. Steve states, "Every teacher understands the joy of helping others as they learn and experience new insights. My goal is to help others understand more of the technological marvels that surround us. I thank God for the wonders of His creation and for the opportunity to share it with others."
Mike Culbreath devoted his career to the electrical industry and worked his way up from an apprentice electrician to master electrician. While working as a journeyman electrician, he suffered a serious on-the-job knee injury. With a keen interest in continuing education for electricians, he completed courses at Mike Holt Enterprises, Inc. and then passed the exam to receive his Master Electricians license. In 1986, after attending classes at Mike Holt Enterprises, Inc., he joined the staff to update material and later studied computer graphics and began illustrating Mike Holts textbooks and magazine articles. Hes worked with the company for over 25 years and, as Mike Holt has proudly acknowledged, has helped to transform his words and visions into lifelike graphics.
Ryan Jackson is a combination inspector in the Salt Lake City, Utah, area. He began doing electrical work at the age of 18. At the age of 23 Ryan landed his first job as an electrical inspector, and subsequently became certified in building, plumbing, and mechanical inspection (commercial and residential), as well as building and electrical plan review. Two years after becoming an inspector, he was approached by a friend in the area asking him to fill in for him at an electrical seminar. After his first class he was hooked, and is now a highly sought-after seminar instructor. Ryan has taught in several states, and loves helping people increase their understanding of the Code. In 2005, Ryan met Mike Holt in Salt Lake City, and they became friends immediately. He helped Mike with his Understanding the NEC, Volume 2 videos and began editing his books as well. Ryan believes that there are only a small handful of opportunities that change a per- sons life and career, and meeting Mike was one of them. Ryan can often be found in his garage turning wood on his lathe, and in the autumn youll find him at as many University of Utah football games as he can attend, which is typically all of them. Ryan married his high school sweetheart, Sharie, and they have two beautiful children together: Kaitlynn and Aaron.

Hey Stones fans, Mick Jagger has joined another band! You read that right; the swaggering frontman of the greatest rock 'n' roll band in the world has gone off and formed a supergroup with Damian Marley, Dave Stewart of the Eurythmics and Joss Stone. The supergroup is called Super Heavy, and it also contains Indian film composer and musician, A.R. Rahman. Each artist has a very distinctive sound, but this will enhance the fusion effect. The group stirred into life a couple of years ago, when Stewart contacted Jagger from his home in Jamaica, while several neighborhood sound systems blasted out several different kinds of music.
"I live in Lime Hall right above St. Ann's Bay. It's kind of the jungle," Stewart explained, "and sometimes I'd hear three sound systems all playing different things. I always love that, along with Indian orchestras. I said to Mick, 'How could we make a fusion?' We were talking about an experiment, and then we started talking about voices. It was all born from that conversation."
From little acorns, great jungles grow. Over a year back the foursome met in an LA recording studio, with no prepared ideas. They simply jammed together and songs emerged from the chaos. Even the band's name came from an improv vocal session by Marley, who, according to Stewart, "was just singing 'Heavy, heavy, heavy, heavy, super heavy'. We thought that sounded good and it sort of stuck with us." Now, the buzz is about Super Heavy tour tickets instead of Rolling Stones tickets, as a wide variety of music fans will want to see how this band of outlaws sounds live. It's not clear when or if Super Heavy will go on tour, but it's hard not to see this as a chance for Mick to rehearse some live material prior to the Stones 50th Anniversary tour scheduled for 2012.
Don't get caught napping. Mick Jagger is in Super Heavy with the son of Bob Marley, the world's leading film composer, one of the world's most exciting soul singers and one half of the Eurythmics. That's a big deal, and I for one cannot wait to hear this unlikely fusion. I anticipate something like Stewart heard through his open window two years ago, with some Indian orchestra grandness thrown in for good measure. Bookmark this site and return soon for more news on the formation and music of Super Heavy – Mick Jagger's new band!

This is part of IEEE Spectrum's special report on the battle for the future of the social Web.
A scruffy young guy in white-framed sunglasses and a long blue cape shouts into a tiny black megaphone: "Welcome to Hackathon 23!"
But he's not a nefarious cybercriminal. He's an engineer at Facebook, and he's standing in the company's Palo Alto headquarters at 5 p.m., surrounded by about 60 other coders eager to start what looks like a free-form, all-night programming party. But a hackathon isn't just fun and games. While the general public has come to associate hacking with black-hat crooks, Facebook is reclaiming the term, evoking its "ethical hacking" roots of computer labs in the 1970s.
Hacking at Facebook is an intellectual and creative exercise, and more. It involves putting aside everyday duties to pursue challenges just for sake of doing it—but also seeing if, maybe, it will result in something useful. From these roughly bimonthly internal hackathon events to an annual Hacker Cup open to programmers around the world, hacking is, as founder and former hacker Mark Zuckerberg puts it, "an awesome part of our culture."
"The idea is to work passionately toward a goal and set aside standard, conventional rules others think apply," says Pedram Keyani, engineering manager of Facebook's site integrity team. "Imagine if you didn't have to worry about scale; what product can you build? Imagine not being constrained by processing speed; what can you develop? For us, hacking is about passionately working toward a goal and not being afraid of failure."
Hacking at Facebook isn't new. In fact, as the film The Social Network dramatized, the site began when founder Zuckerberg sat at his computer at Harvard one night and typed the infamous words "Let the hacking begin." His intention was to break into the university's facebook to make something new—and the success of that moment still inspires the company today.
As the company grew, "every night was hackathon," recalls Keyani, who studied computer engineering at Stanford and was the engineering manager at Google before coming to Facebook in 2007 to start their site integrity team, which watches out for scams and other security issues. Facebook's engineers would gather over dinner and talk about new features for the site, then stay up all night bringing them to life. "Early on, it was just part of the company culture," he adds. "You just keep working until you have something to show."
Hackathons scaled up as the staff grew to today's roughly 500 engineers (the company wants to have at least one engineer per million members at all times). "The only real rule," Zuckerberg has said, "is that you're not allowed to work on the same thing that your day job is."
Hackathons generally start when a Facebook engineer sends an e-mail around asking, Does anyone want to stay up all night hacking? Word spreads. A date gets set. Food and kegs are ordered. Fridges are stocked with Red Bull. The cuisine—Chinese food—doesn't vary, although, like Facebook itself, it has matured. The company used to order from a neighborhood joint, but nowadays its chef cooks it in house. Once, post- hackathon, dozens of weary geeks showed up at the International House of Pancakes, causing a stir. One engineer later blogged, "My advice: Don't roll in 45 deep to an IHOP at 6 a.m."

Mankato, Minn. – Minnesota State University, Mankato President Richard Davenport has approved a feasibility study to determine the need for an indoor "sports bubble" on the Minnesota State Mankato campus and is looking for widespread input into the process. The campus is outgrowing its indoor facilities and is interested in working with the Mankato community to determine if both the needs of the university and the community can be addressed with this single project.
In support of this initiative, Minnesota State University, Mankato will hold several meetings on Wednesday, Jan. 23 to mark the beginning of a feasibility study to determine the potential for an indoor, air-supported multi-sport and recreation facility ("sports bubble") on campus.
A meeting intended for the internal campus audience will be held from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in Ostrander Auditorium. A public meeting will occur from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. in Taylor Center, Room 80 (a new auditorium-style classroom on the lower level of the Taylor Center). For the evening meeting, there is free public parking in Lot 20 (corner of Stadium Road and Warren Street).
A third meeting will be held the same day with the Minnesota State Student Association (MSSA), which is Minnesota State Mankato's student government organization.
Minnesota State Mankato has retained the Sports Facility Development & Management Group to oversee and manage the feasibility study, which will evaluate possible campus, community, and regional interest and support for this facility.
The feasibility study will help determine possible sources of private support for the project through facility usage, sponsorship, and other revenues, and whether or not the project will move to the next phase of planning.
Rick Straka, Minnesota State Mankato's vice president for finance and administration, said the feasibility study is being conducted in conjunction with the university's facility master plan update.
"A major portion of the study will be to determine the amount of possible non-university programming demand in the region and to identify the corresponding revenue streams which might help support the cost of building and operating such a facility," said Straka.
Among the university offices and departments involved in setting up the feasibility study are Facilities Management, the Office of Student Affairs, the Office of Campus Recreation and the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics.
For more information, contact Kevin Buisman, Minnesota State Mankato's director of athletics, by phone at 389-6111, or by email at email@example.com.
Minnesota State Mankato, a comprehensive university with 15,413 students, is part of the Minnesota State Colleges & Universities system, which comprises 31 state institutions.
