The McIntire School of Commerce offers a professional program
that includes the study of the fundamental disciplines underlying the management
of organizations. Thomas Jefferson, founder of the University of Virginia, believed
a liberal arts education was key to a successful professional career. In keeping
with that tradition, students spend the first two years of undergraduate work
combining liberal arts and business prerequisite courses. Students, including
those from other schools, typically apply for admission to McIntire during their
second year.
McIntire students tackle the Schools Integrated Core
Experience (ICE), a continuously evolving third-year curriculum that updates
and refines the presentation of core business knowledge and skills. The primary
goal of the ICE program is to prepare McIntire students for the dynamic, changing
realities of todays business world.
Fourth-year students choose one or more specialized area(s)
of concentration: Accounting, Finance, Information Technology, International
Business, Management, and Marketing.
Advanced courses in each area are provided to form a total
program that is both integrative and comprehensive.
The McIntire School prepares students for an array of future
opportunities, including graduate and professional school. Part of that preparation
is the emphasis on integrative group projects and the case method of instruction
in which students analyze complex business situations. The thousands of alumni
who enjoy prominent positions throughout the world, as well as the national
ranking evidence the success of the McIntire program and reputation the school
has achieved.
The University of Virginia was one of the first institutions
in the United States to introduce the subject matter of economics into its curriculum.
Since the Universitys first session in 1825, courses of study in this
field have been available.
It was not until 1906 that the School of Economics was established
as a separate unit within the College of Arts and Sciences. In 1920, a division
of business administration was created in the James Wilson School of Economics.
In 1921, a donation from alumnus Paul Goodloe McIntire made it possible to establish
the McIntire School of Commerce and Business Administration. For the next 31
years the McIntire School operated as a distinct division of the College of
Arts and Sciences, but its work was closely integrated with the James Wilson
School of Economics. In 1952, the Universitys Board of Visitors approved
the establishment of the McIntire School as a professional school to be administered
as a separate unit of the University, distinct from the College of Arts and
The McIntire School is a separate division of the University
in the same sense as are the Schools of Architecture, Graduate Business Administration,
Education, Engineering, Law, and Medicine. The McIntire School confers the Bachelor
of Science in Commerce and offers Master of Science degrees in accounting and
information technology. The bachelors degree is conferred after a four-year
program of studies in which the first two years are spent in an accredited college
or university in courses approved by the McIntire School. In the 2004-2005 session,
the undergraduate student body numbered 660 and the faculty 65.
The school is located in Monroe Hall on the Central Grounds
of the University. The building contains classrooms, seminar rooms, and administrative
and faculty offices. Computer facilities located in the building include a computer
laboratory, capital markets room and trading room complex, multimedia classrooms,
and terminals linked to other University computing facilities. In addition to
the facilities in Monroe Hall, the Universitys extensive libraries and
computing systems are available to students of the McIntire School.

Who will be No. 1 in college football?
By Stu Durando
From left: Quarterback Sam Bradford of the Oklahoma Sooners; quarterback Tim Tebow of the Florida Gators; and quarterback Colt McCoy of the Texas Longhorns.
Under the BCS system, college football has seen a handful of annual power programs that are predictably in the hunt for the national championship any given year.
LSU, Ohio State, USC and Oklahoma — or some combination — tend to be in the mix with regularity.
But Florida is on the brink of reaching a new echelon. Or maybe the Gators already are there.
With the No. 1 ranking in virtually every preseason publication, coach Urban Meyer's team has the look of a dynasty and is the favorite to win its second consecutive BCS title and its third in the past four seasons.
Many of the usual suspects are in the early discussion. But other than quarterback Tim Tebow, the clearest reason to expect the Gators to reach the title game at the Rose Bowl is their schedule.
While Oklahoma is knocking heads with BYU and Miami during nonconference play, Florida has Charleston Southern, Troy and Florida International. Southern California plays at Ohio State, California, Notre Dame and Oregon. The Gators have road games against Kentucky, Mississippi State and South Carolina.
Florida's biggest obstacle on the way to Pasadena is a game at LSU, where the Tigers have won the past two meetings between the schools. But Florida scored 51 on LSU last season.
Do it again, and the Gators should ultimately find themselves playing for another championship.
1. Florida
What's not to like? The Gators won it all last season. The country's ninth-best defense returns every starter. And a Heisman-winning QB (Tim Tebow) doesn't hurt.
2. Texas
The Longhorns will be more dangerous if QB Colt McCoy doesn't have to lead the team in rushing. An experienced line should pave the way for more fireworks.
3. Oklahoma
The Sooners must rebuild the offensive line, which was critical to last year's success. QB Sam Bradford starred, but the Sooners return two 1,000-yard rushers.
There are enough question marks — quarterback, rebuilding defense — to suggest the Trojans may be vulnerable. But when have they ever had trouble filling holes?
5. Penn State
Daryll Clark can throw and Evan Royster can run, but the offense lacks experienced receivers. Ohio State game at home could decide the Big Ten.
6. Alabama
QB Greg McElroy played behind Chase Daniel for three years in high school before setting a Texas state record with 56 TD passes as a senior.
7. Mississippi
The Rebels won last season at Florida and got better during the season's second half. QB Jevan Snead could challenge Tebow statistically.
8. Virginia Tech
The Hokies managed to win the ACC after starting 5-3 last year. But they took a big hit with the loss of RB Darren Evans to a knee injury.
9. Ohio State
All eyes will be on the meeting with USC on Sept. 12 as the Buckeyes try to shake their reputation as a bust on the national stage.
10. Oklahoma State
There may not be a better skill trio in the country than QB Zac Robinson, RB Kendall Hunter and WR Dez Bryant. But, oh, that defense.
11. Georgia Tech
The Yellow Jackets just might have the best RB corps in the country, led by Jonathan Dwyer and Roddy Jones. A solid defense returns eight starters.
12. California
The Bears have a Heisman prospect in RB Jahvid Best. But will QB Kevin Riley finally find enough consistency to win over coach Jeff Tedford?
13. Boise State
The Broncos are primed for another huge offensive year after a breakout freshman season from QB Kellen Moore. They hope to crash the BCS.
There's a new coordinator for a defense that allowed more than 30 points in five games last year. Games at Georgia, Alabama and Ole Miss make things tough.
15. Oregon
The Ducks have to love a schedule that includes the best of the Pac-10 at home. QB Jeremiah Masoli's offense topped 30 points nine times in 2008.
16. Iowa
The Hawkeyes' four 2008 losses were by a total of 12 points, and they ended Penn State's title hopes. The Big Ten's top defense returns eight starters.
The Cougars have won their past 18 home games and get the Mountain West's top challengers on their turf. QB Max Hall averaged 304 passing yards in '08.
18. Georgia
The 2008 Bulldogs disappointed, even with two NFL-caliber skill players. Suspicion is that lower expectations will help. Opening at Oklahoma State might not.
The offense has been explosive, but the Horned Frogs led the country in total defense in 2008. They have 11 wins in three of the past four seasons.
20. North Carolina
A solid defense returns nine starters. If QB T.J. Yates stays healthy, the offense could be sound, but the team has virtually no experience at WR.
21. Notre Dame
Charlie Weis has replenished the roster with abundant talent, but QB Jimmy Clausen needs to improve on last year's 17 interceptions.
22. Utah
The QB job is undecided, and the top three WRs are gone. But after stuffing Alabama in the Sugar Bowl, the Utes have the makings of another stingy defense.
23. Kansas
The Jayhawks return a ton of weapons, including QB Todd Reesing, after averaging 33 points a game. Shaky defense means they'll need that potent offense.
24. Oregon State
The Beavers, who beat USC in '08, should score plenty with RB Jacquizz Rodgers. Coach Mike Riley annually exceeds expectations in the Pac-10.
25. Pittsburgh
The Panthers might have enough to win the wide-open Big East after some disappointing years. They return 14 starters after playing in the Sun Bowl.

Herbs can be extremely beneficial to your health and wellbeing. Here are some commonly used herbs and spices which all have great health and skin benefits.
Basil is ideal to give your body a boost and help to fight off infections. You have most likely had basil in pasta sauces but it could also be sprinkled on salads or other stews.
Parsley is rich in Vitamin A which is key to maintaining healthy skin and hair. As with basil it can be added to pastas and stews but is often chewed after meals to freshen the breath.
Turmeric is a great antioxidant which strengthens the immune system and protects against cancer. It can be sprinkled into stews or you can mix 1 tsp into a large spoonful of honey and take each morning.
Rosemary helps to rev up the body's circulation and immune system, keeping the skin from looking dull. Rosemary is also commonly used in pasta or sprinkled on garlic bread or salads.
Thyme has a mild antiseptic property and helps the body strengthen after infection. Again it is a popular herb in pasta or salads.
Sage is also a mild antiseptic and it helps the body to naturally expel retained water and keep toxins flushed out as well. Sage is great sprinkled on roasted vegetables.
Oregano is an immune boosting herb which helps the body fight any viruses. Oregano is probably the most commonly used herb in pasta sauces.
Chives contain Vitamin C, Calcium, Iron, and Folic Acid which are all very important vitamins and minerals to keep the body functioning. Chopped up chives are great with almost any dish and especially good on baked potatoes.
Mint is very relaxing and helps keep digestion regular. Peppermint is extremely rich in antioxidants which help to reduce toxins from your body. Mint can be used in cooking but is extremely popular as a tea.
Cinnamon contains a high amount of antioxidants which lower inflammation in the body. Cinnamon can be used in most recipes but is especially great sprinkled on cereals or in smoothies.
Adding herbs and spices to your food not only adds great flavor but is great for you too!

Featuring a lovely raku button and several types of hand bead weaving this piece prsents the "late grapes" that are still on the vine and are made into a sweet german wine called Spatelese.
"Coral Reef" I did this bracelet in freeform peyote stitch. There is also some heringbone and right anggle weave. It is filled with coral, glass, pearls, and other assorted glass and gem beads.
This is a little glass bottle that I beaded using a netting technique. It has a stopper and you could fill the bittle with perfume, oils, water for a flower , or Genie Glitter. I say you take a pinch of the glitter out of the bottel to releaset he genie, make a wish then toss the Genie glitter to the wind to make your wish come true. I also teach this as a class.

Alan Saret (American, b. New York City 1944)
Sun Register, 1967
Painted galvanized steel
48 x 66 x 66 in. (121.9 x 167.6 x 167.6 cm), variable
Ruth C. Roush Fund for Contemporary Art, 1968
Sun Register exemplifies Saret's early post-minimalist sculpture in its use of inexpensive industrial materials, and its lyrical evocation of the natural world. Incorporating painterly gesture and insisting on complex, mutable form, these works represented a direct challenge to Minimalist doctrine.
Sun Register dates to 1967, one year before Saret's first one-person show at the Bykert Gallery, New York, and two years before his inclusion in three group exhibitions: the Annual Exhibition of 1968 at the Whitney Museum of American Art, Oberlin's Three Young Americans, and 9 in a Warehouse at Leo Castelli.1 (Sun Register was included in the Oberlin show as "Painted wire.")
The present title of the Oberlin work refers to the ever-unfolding physical world, as do the titles of other works of the period.2 Saret's unconventional medium--fencing wire--is malleable, indeterminate, and insubstantial, and highly suitable for his casually composed, intentionally temporary, and unimposing forms.3 In the Oberlin piece Saret subverted both the gridlike orderliness of this medium and its purpose, the delineation of boundaries. He twisted rectangular sections of wire together and wadded them up into a centerless and rootless organic form that can rest lightly on the floor. To reiterate the sculpture's transient, nonhierarchical nature, the artist provided an alternate method of installation in which one section is hung on the wall, and the other sections cascade to the floor and spill out across it. The airiness of the work reveals its simple mode of construction while conjuring up the artist's actions in the formation of the irregular shape. At the same time the diffused form appears, and is, vulnerable and impermanent.4 Pictorial and painterly concerns are also strongly evident in Sun Register. Max Kozloff, in describing a similar work in the Whitney Annual of 1968, noted that the artist "creates a giant wire tumbleweed, stapled on the wall, which moves out into a hazy entanglement not dissimilar from the gestural idiom of Abstract Expressionism."5 Saret, who studied painting before turning to sculpture, blurred the lines between sculpture and painting in the Oberlin work by unevenly spray painting the strands of wire in soft shades of yellow and blue-green.6 Further challenging the notion of formal categories in art, Saret produced large numbers of drawings which, while not preliminary studies for his three-dimensional work, were created in tandem with them and often exhibited together in the same installation. A summary of the ideas expressed in the wire sculptures materialized in Ghosthouse (1975), a monumental diaphanous steel mesh structure erected at Artpark (Lewiston, New York), which the artist built and lived in for four months. This hybrid project combined the ephemeral nature of Saret's chosen materials with the temporal quality of performance.
E. Shepherd
Saret was born in New York City on 25 December 1944. He received a bachelor's degree in architecture from Cornell University (1966) and subsequently studied with Robert Morris at Hunter College (1966-68). As Saret's sculpture began to increase in scale and complexity, he began exhibiting outside the commercial gallery network and in 1970 founded Spring Palace, an alternative exhibition space that also housed his studio. Returning from a three-year stay in India, Saret established a foundation, ALAEL, dedicated to "self-realization and enlightenment through art," and the spiritual dimension of art remains a primary concern for the artist. His work is included in numerous public collections including The Museum of Modern Art, New York; The Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; The Detroit Institute of Arts; and the Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto.

Technical Data
This sculpture is made of many rectangular sections of galvanized steel fencing joined together by twisting. The sections are spray-painted blue-green and yellow, generally blue-green on one side and yellow on the other. Light corrosion is present overall and there are extensive paint losses.
When installed, some of the wire sections can be hung from the wall, extending down and out onto the floor. The sculpture can also, as here, be installed by piling all of the sections together on the floor.
1. The three exhibitons were: Mountains of Chance, Documents of Ruralism . . . Changing Manufactures, Bykert Gallery, New York; Annual Exhibition, Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; Three Young Americans: Krueger, Nauman, Saret, Allen Memorial Art Museum, Oberlin (organized by Ellen H. Johnson and Athena Tacha Spear); and 9 in a Warehouse at Leo Castelli, New York (organized by Robert Morris, Saret's professor at Hunter College, and held in an Upper West Side warehouse). The latter exhibition included work by Eva Hesse and Richard Serra, among others.
2. For example, Mesh Makes Mountain, 1969, reconstructed 1990, collection of the artist; Folding Glade, 1969-70, New York, The Museum of Modern Art; Sulfur Falls, 1968, reconstructed 1990, collection of the artist; Zinc Cloud, 1967, collection of the artist; Green Wave of Air, 1968-69, collection of Andrew Fabricant; and Hollow Mountain, 1968, private collection. According to the artist, although many of these early works were originally untitled, their connection to the physical world was reinforced through the subsequent assignment of titles, some of which evolved over a number of years. The Oberlin piece, for example, acquired its title in the years between its creation and its reproduction in the 1982 Newport Harbor Art Museum exhibition catalogue, Alan Saret: Matter into Aether.
3.Other works of the period were made of similarly flexible materials, such as stainless-steel mesh, rubber, and electrical wire.
4. Sun Register was acquired by Oberlin soon after its creation: this ensured its survival. Many of the other early wire sculptures have been lost. For Saret's views on the reconstruction of lost work, see his "Reincarnated Concept or Repeated Gesture: An Experience in Remaking Sculpture," Art in America 78, no. 7 (July 1990), p. 118.
5. Max Kozloff, "9 in a Warehouse: An Attack on the Status of the Object," Artforum 7 (February 1969), p. 40.
6.Max Kozloff ("9 in a Warehouse: An Attack on the Status of the Object," Artforum 7 [February 1969], p. 42) saw in the painted chicken wire sculptures of 1969 an "affinity with the atmospheric lyricism to be found in much current spray painting."

If you enjoy following Pittsburgh mayoral politics, you may find this video interesting. 12 times during our 2 minute and 41 second conversation, City Council President Darlene Harris stuck to her four word talking point about her intentions. Here's a link to WTAE video of my Q&A with Harris about her switching her registration from Democrat to Independent in order to qualify to run for mayor in the fall race. There are some interesting nuggets hidden KMOO #7 and KMOO #10: her pause before her answer about fundraising and her comments about Mayor Ravenstahl.
I'd reported on Wednesday about the prospect of an Independent mayoral candidate running against Democratic primary winner Bill Peduto and Republican Josh Wander. That story includes a clip of Councilman Corey O'Connor, whose long-term political future is sometimes the subject of speculation, laughing off the idea he'd jump in to this race. (He can't and he doesn't want to. He remains registered a Democrat, he now backs Peduto after staying neutral during the primary, and he's getting married next month.)
Here's a transcript of my Darlene Harris Q&A. I numbered her KMOO count for handy reference.
Q: "Are you planning to run as an independent for mayor in the fall?"
A: "I am just keeping my options open." (1)
Q: "Keeping your options open means what?"
A: "Keeping my options open." (2)
Q: "Did you change your party registration, when did you do that , and explain the significance of that?"
A: "Well, there's been a lot going on in the city, and I wanted to make sure that I left all options open." (3)
Q: "Obviously, if for some reason Mayor Ravenstahl left office, you would become acting mayor. If you were acting mayor, is that the only circumstance under which you could run as an independent?"
A: "I guess that would be the only way that you could run as an independent."
Q: "Well, I mean you could, as council president. But *would* you, unless you became acting mayor?"
A: "All I'm doing is leaving my options open." (4)
Q: "So you don't rule out running as an independent for mayor, even if Mayor Ravenstahl serves out his term?"
A: "Just keeping all options open." (5)
Q: "So , keeping your options open means that you're an independent, you changed your registration, so that you may run for mayor?"
A: "Just keeping the options open." (6)
Q: "And have you collected money for a mayor's race yet?"
A: "Just keeping the options open." (7)
Q: "Raised any money?"
A: "(2 second pause) Just keeping the options open." (8)
Q: "Have you gotten any encouragement from anyone to do this?"
A: "I just am leaving all options open." (9)
Q: "Is Mayor Ravenstahl encouraging you to do this?"
A: "Absolutely not."
Q: "Is he discouraging you?"
A: "He actually -- we have had our times."
Q: "In his discouraging you considering this?"
A: "No. He hasn't encouraged or discouraged me. I don't think he even realizes what has happened."
Q: "By when will you make a final decision on whether or not you'll run for mayor as an independent?"
A: "Uh, time will tell."
Q: "When exactly did you change your registration?"
A: "When it was time to do so."
Q: "In other words, prior to 30 days before the primary?"
A: "Exactly."
Q: "So, you've been strategizing for a while?"
A: "Exactly."
Q: "What should Pittsburghers make of this?"
A: "To keep my options open, and we'll see in the future." (10)
Q: "So, basically this would mean that the primary wasn't the last word, so far as you're concerned, about what the field will be in the fall."
A: "All I have said is, I've left my options open." (11)
Q: "Are you leaving your options open, councilwoman?"
A: "I have left my options open." (12)

Senegal's president removes prime minister
DAKAR, Senegal (AP) — Senegal's president has removed his prime minister of about a year and a half and replaced him with the country's justice minister.
President Macky Sall didn't disclose a reason in announcing Abdoul Mbaye's departure on Sunday. The statement issued by a presidential spokesman only said that "the president thanks the outgoing prime minister."
Later Sunday, the government announced that he would be replaced by Justice Minister Aminata Toure.
Senegal's president ousted former longtime leader Abdoulaye Wade in a presidential runoff vote in March 2012, and has been tasked with trying to address high levels of unemployment and a rising cost of living.
The newly chosen prime minister told journalists Sunday it would be a difficult task ahead to address those problems amid the global economic downturn.

The author of "15-Minute Diabetic Meals" and the "The 4-Ingredient Diabetes Cookbook" has put together an easy-to-make Molasses Drumsticks with Soy Sauce recipe that's finger-licking, lip-smacking good.
"The molasses gives it a deep, earthy sweetness. It's like a real dark, rummy brown sugar," Hughes said in an instructional video posted on the American Diabetes Association website.

Her program of research, focused on family and intergenerational processes and interventions, aims to reduce racial/ethnic disparities in academic achievement, behavior problems, and socio-emotional problems. Funded by the National Institutes of Health, the U.S. Department of Education, and the National Science Foundation, her work advances understanding of the unique risk factors (e.g., acculturative stress, linguistic isolation, experiences of discrimination, migration trauma, undocumented status) that undermine healthy child development among Latinos, as well as the protective and promoting factors (e.g., ethnic identity, family cohesion) that offset such risk. Her work is published widely in psychology and medical journals.
Professor Calzada serves as associate editor for the Journal of Latin@ Psychology and as editorial board member of Cultural Diversity and Ethnic Minority Psychology. She received her B.A. from Duke University and her Ph.D. from the University of Florida.

Car Review
2013 GMC Savana 1500: New Car Review
Pros: Great capability; proven reliability as a cargo hauler; worthy workmate
Cons: Architecture and platform reminiscent of 1976
What's New: Available backup camera; rear parking sensors; navigation
Piloting a model from GMC's Savana line is like taking a drive backwards in time. The full-size van architecture underpinning the 2013 GMC Savana 1500 dates to 1996, a long run for any platform. In fact, if even if the Savana's Chevrolet sibling (the Express van) sees a next-generation model soon, we suspect that it could be a stand-alone--leaving GMC to focus on its upscale SUV, crossover and pickup truck models.
In the interim the GMC Savana soldiers on as both a passenger and cargo van. The full-size Savana may be old, but a seemingly endless need for huge people-hauling and cargo-carrying capability keeps the Savana relevant.
The list of van choices available to the prospective Savana is equally huge. You can choose one of two lengths and three capacities, with either 2- or 4-wheel drive. The Savana 1500 has a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 7,300 pounds, while the 2500 is listed at 8,600 pounds and the 3500 comes in at either 9,600 pounds with a gasoline powertrain or 9,900 pounds with GM's Duramax diesel. GMC even offers the van buyer a compressed natural gas package.
Comfort & Utility
With available room for 12 or a couple of tons of cargo, you can configure a GMC Savana in dozens of ways. In base form (as marketed to many fleets) the Savana can serve roles as diverse as plumbing, carpentry or flower delivery. As a passenger van, the Savana is frequently used in shuttle or limousine service. And as an RV, the Savana can capably serve as a donor vehicle for getaway vehicle modifications.
Space may be the ultimate luxury, and this the Savana delivers in spades. Its interior, however, won't be deemed luxurious; its feeling is satisfactory at best. The Savana 1500 comes in LS and LT trim levels. The standard air conditioning will be appreciated in warmer climates, and a rear unit is also available. Among other options are remote keyless entry (standard on the LT) and a remote vehicle starter.
Despite its age, the Savana keeps up pretty well with technology driven equipment. A new radio navigation system is available for 2013, and audio offerings include CD/MP3 capability, a USB port and SiriusXM satellite radio. Bluetooth is available, as is a dealer-installed Wi-Fi capability. Two standard 12-volt power outlets (mounted inside on the engine cover) maintain the workload when carrying a laptop, and a remote vehicle starter system allows the driver to warm up the van in cold climes and cool it off in the warm ones. Perhaps the ultimate built-in technology is OnStar, which provides emergency response, turn-by-turn navigation and concierge service.
Performance and Fuel Economy
Within the Savana family (1500, 2500 and 3500), there are three available gasoline powertrains plus the Duramax diesel. If you stick with the cargo version of the light-duty 1500, however, you're limited to either a 4.3-liter V6 good for 195 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, or a 5.3-liter V8 producing 310 hp and 334 lb-ft of torque. The Savana 1500 passenger van gets the 5.3-liter V8 exclusively. There's an available FlexFuel derivative, delivering the same hp and torque while operating on E85 (ethanol) or an E85/gasoline mix. The Savana 1500 platform seems perfect for a light-duty diesel, but no plans for an oil burner have been announced.
When equipped with the 5.3-liter V8, the Savana van can achieve 13 mpg city/17 mpg hwy, a reasonable figure given the Savana's weight, bulk and 4-speed Hydra-Matic transmission. With the smaller 4.3-liter motor, the Savana cargo van is rated at 15/20 mpg. To its credit, GM has been at the forefront in the building of efficient V8 powertrains; if carrying eight passengers, the Savana 1500 remains at least as efficient as taking two (typically midsize) cars to transport the same number of people.
Thankfully, GM has given consideration to elements of both active safety (accident avoidance) and passive safety (the ability to survive a crash should one occur). Power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering, and 4-wheel disc brakes with ABS and dynamic rear proportioning can reduce the hassle of piloting and the drama of stopping a loaded truck. Also standard on all GMC Savanas is StabiliTrak, which is GM's electronic stability control. A newly available backup camera and rear parking sensors take the guesswork out of low-speed maneuvering. Available head curtain side airbags and lap and shoulder belts for center seat passengers (standard) wraps up the Savana's safety menu.
Driving Impressions
Driving a GMC Savana, as with most other vehicles in the full-size van segment, is a bit like steering a boat; its ponderous proportions typically make for ponderous handling, and in this regard the 2013 GMC Savana 1500 delivers as expected. That said, GM engineers have done an admirable job of massaging the "beast" out of this beast, and when equipped with its standard V8 it goes about its business with a degree of eagerness not found in a similar vehicle 20 years ago.
The driving experience in the passenger version is helped by almost 360 degrees of visibility. The driver's hip point is high, and the field of vision is almost unobstructed.
Other Trucks to Consider
After years of domination by GM and Ford, the full-size van segment is about to wake from a quarter century of hibernation. Although Chrysler left the segment several years ago, it's rumored to be coming back with FIAT-based commercial vans modified for stateside sale. Ford, having enjoyed a surprisingly good reception for its more compact Transit Connect, plans to offer the Connect's full-size brother. With the dissolution of the Mercedes-Benz/Chrysler union, Mercedes is importing its Sprinter and selling it through select Mercedes dealerships. And Nissan offers both cargo and passenger versions of its full-size NV for 2013.
Also, remember that today's minivans aren't so mini. Entries by Chrysler, Honda, Toyota and Nissan are all significantly larger than a decade ago. And the whole current minivan crop are equipped with platforms and comfort/convenience features that may be coming with the next generation of full-size vans but aren't available on today's GM or Ford entries.
AutoTrader Recommends
We'd equip an 8-passenger 2013 Savana 1500 with available all-wheel drive and just enough comfort and convenience accessories to make it livable for a three-week grand tour. With room for everything a family of four could possibly carry, along with bike storage inside rather than on top of the van, the Savana would make a great base camp for any weekend--or weeks long--adventure. With the top LT trim, navigation, rear parking sensors and a backup camera, you'd still be out the door for well under $40,000.

Jak zbiera fundusze Audacity?
Audacity raises money via donations, sponsorships and advertisements on our web pages.
Income to Audacity is not distributed among previous contributors to Audacity. There are too many people and it would be difficult to do so fairly. Also, nobody contributed code to Audacity expecting money in return. Audacity is developed by volunteers, working in our spare time. Audacity is not shareware, and we do not expect to make any money from it.
Rather, the team of Audacity lead developers will spend the money on items and services that benefit the project as a whole. Money that comes in to the project helps us pay for bandwidth and web hosting, development tools, and audio hardware. In the past we used funds from donations to purchase the Audacity trademark and to subsidize travel costs for Audacity developers to meet for a hackathon, and we plan to do more of these. Our long-term goal is to bring in enough money to hire a full-time developer who could devote all of his/her time to the project and take over some of the administrative, maintenance and release tasks, freeing volunteers to spend more time on code.
These are all things that help us provide Audacity for free and continue to make it better. The Audacity Team is completely committed to keeping Audacity free and open source. We made that commitment in licensing Audacity under the GNU General Public License.
Other Ways to Contribute
Besides donating money, you can contribute your time by helping us with programming, testing, documentation, translations or by anwering questions on the Audacity Forum. We have always welcomed users whose only contribution is simply using Audacity, giving us feedback on how to improve it and telling others about it. Thank you for supporting Audacity.

HOUSTON — A 31-year-old man has been charged with two counts of injury to the elderly after authorities found four men malnourished and held against their will in a dungeon-like Houston house.
Police say Walter Renard Jones was arrested at the scene Friday and jailed without bond Saturday pending a court appearance next week.
Court records did not list an attorney for Jones. Records showed Jones had previous charges beginning in 2002 for theft, marijuana possession and failing to register as a sex offender.
Police say the men told investigators they were forced to live in the garage — which had one chair, no bed and a possibly malfunctioning air conditioner — so their captor could cash their assistance checks.

Down a run with two outs in the top of the seventh, senior Joe Cannady came through in the clutch with an RBI single to tie the score 4-4 between Augusta and Circle at Monday's baseball regional tournament in Clearwater.
The Orioles retired the side to force extra innings, but in the bottom of the eighth, Circle put together a couple of hits and walks to set up Ben Griffes. He came through with a walk-off RBI base hit to eliminate the Orioles and end their season.
Augusta finishes with a 10-11 record.
Circle advances to play AVCTL-Div. III champion Mulvane Wednesday. El Dorado, seeded No. 7, upset Independence 2-1 and will play Clearwater in the other semifinal. The Indians beat Rose Hill 4-2.

Long Gone
My first job out of college, I was fired. I used two words with my editor that proved career limiting. I have quit with no notice; I've given two weeks and had cake on my last day. I've signed paperwork at the long conference room table twice. And I've had a farewell so tearful I wore sunglasses as I said goodbye.

If you went from the HTC EVO 4G to the HTC EVO 3D, Netflix hasn't been very nice to you for the last month or so. Things seemed way too perfect when the HTC EVO 4G received its long-awaited Gingerbread update. The good ol' EVO 4G was now even faster and smoother, and everything was working great. Until you tried to watch your favorite shows on Netflix, that is. It was definitely a downer to see the Gingerbread update got rid of your Netflix compatibility, but this problem was fixed with another update issued about 2 weeks ago.
Now those hard-core HTC EVO 4G fans who decided to go for its successor, the HTC EVO 3D, probably have their spirits down again. While the EVO 3D is a better device overall, it is lacking Netflix support. Also, many have been complaining about the lack of the Flashlight app (a simple, but very helpful and necessary app the EVO 3D did not inherit from the EVO 4G).
For those with Netflix/Flashlight withdrawals (or those who just want these apps on their brand new EVO 3D), there is a solution. You won't be able to find these apps on the Android Market. But if you get the unmodified apps from the EVO 4G, they can be sideloaded into the HTC's 3D smartphone. You find the apk files for these two apps at the Pocketables Forums and install them yourself.
I have personally tested both apps on the HTC EVO 3D and they work perfectly. You guys should be set to watch your favorite movies on Netflix now. If you do happen to run into any problems, please let us know so we can further investigate the topic. Is this working for everyone?
It has been brought to our attention that the download links no longer work. Seems like too many of you were trying to hop on these links, and they have been canceled due to a high level of traffic! Do not fear, though, here is another set of links for you!
Thanks for the heads up, Kevin!

They say that a dog will remember you forever if you spend just ten minutes with him on two occasions. I believe it.
We celebrate every adoption from the shelter, but this one was especially special to me. This affectionate and incredibly easy-going yellow lab mix named Tanner was finally adopted last week after more than nine months at the shelter! Who knows why it took so long?
Tanner came to the shelter last spring. I took Tanner's picture for the Pet Finder website on June 4th. He was featured on KTVO's Thursday morning "Pet of the Week" segment soon afterward. But no one came to adopt him.
They say that a dog will remember you forever if you spend just ten minutes with him on two occasions. I believe it. After I photographed Tanner in early June, he became a regular walking buddy of mine. All it takes is two times. Which means that by the third time, he saw me coming with leash in hand and barked joyfully. After that we walked once or twice a week for the next forty plus weeks. (Other volunteers walked him too. In fact, shelter dogs sometimes get walked several times a day – more than dogs who actually have families and homes!)
I liked to walk Tanner on a retractable leash so that he could get his exercise. He liked to run in big circles around me. He quickly learned his name, to come when called, and to enjoy our "rest time" mid-walk. He would crawl on his belly and smile at me; I would pet him and tell him what a good boy he was. The summer passed this way.
Tanner was on TV again in the fall and soon afterward his picture was published in the Kirksville Daily Express. Still nobody came for him. Meanwhile we knew that he would always have a place at the shelter, because not only did the staff and volunteers all love him, but he also got along well with every dog he ever shared a kennel with. Since he was neutered already, he was able to bunk with boys and girls, young and old. Tanner saw so many others come and go to their adoptive homes. Surely his turn would come soon.
You already know how this ends: finally, after three seasons in the shelter, Tanner was adopted last week by an eight year old boy and his little sister. It's likely that these savvy adopters did not see him on TV or in the newspaper. But they recognized the spark in his eyes when they met him. And when they hugged him and kissed him, well, it was all over. We're just sure that Tanner will have these friends for life. And this is nothing less than what he deserves.

I was tagged by Denis Gobo in the latest blog meme: What was your first computer and games you've played?
Well mine was the Sinclair ZX Spectrum.
I got it when i was 9 years old and I only used it to play games. No programming for this kid just yet. That came a lot later.
This baby had a tape drive whose sound I really enjoyed imitating to annoy my mom :)
So what were some of the games? These are the four I remember:
