Today, world-renowned celebrity photography duo, MARKUS + INDRANI announced they will be supporting New York Says Thank You Foundation (NYSTY), a non-profit organization founded to commemorate the love and ongoing support given to New Yorkers by Americans following 9/11. MARKUS + INDRANI, will be supporting NYSTY's Hurricane Sandy First Responder Rebuilding Fund through sales of their exhibition prints. The iconic images will be on display during their December 11th, 2012 ICONS Exhibition & Book launch event at Lincoln Center's Alice Tully Hall as well as available for public viewing on December 12th and 13th at the David Rubenstein Atrium.
"We are touched and honored that Markus and Indrani have extended their support to help rebuild homes of under-insured, active first responders of New York," said Jeff Parness, Founder and Chairman of New York Says Thank You Foundation. "We believe that the overall New York community will benefit from NYSTY helping those that take care of everyone else and the artists' commitment to generate awareness and further support our proposition is invaluable."
New York Says Thank You Foundation has a proven 9-year track record in national disaster relief rebuilding from the California wildfires to Hurricane Katrina to tornado rebuilding efforts through the Midwest. Since its founding in 2003, the foundation has received support and contributions from renowned philanthropists such as Jonathan Tisch, Laurie Tisch, Bill Rudin and corporations as KPMG and its core group of volunteers have been New York City first responders and residents who were affected by 9/11. 10% of the sales of MARKUS + INDRANI's photography art will go to NYSTY. 100% of that donation will go directly to Hurricane Sandy rebuilding efforts here in the New York area.
"We are honored to collaborate with this renowned Foundation and its Hurricane Sandy relief efforts to raise awareness and finally give back to the very New Yorkers that have always helped our community," says Markus Klinko. "We have collaborated with many dynamic personalities who were born, raised and have continued to love this city through all its hardships and challenges. We hope to support and perhaps capture the resilience and beauty of the very people who make New York so iconic."

While the art industry celebrates the return of the stolen Cezanne masterpiece "Boy in a Red Waistcoat," recovered this week in Serbia, thousands of other famous stolen works of art continue to be traded on the black market or collect dust in storage.
According to the Art Loss Register, an international index of stolen works, there are 350,000 stolen works of art in the world. Once thieves realize they can't sell the paintings at auction or get paid a ransom fee without getting caught, many try to obtain cash or collaterall illegally, said Chris Marinello, general counsel for the Register.
"The next thing is the art goes underground to the black market and trades among criminals at about 5 to 10 percent of its true value. We've seen art being traded for drugs, weapons, involved in the international terrorism trade, traded for antiquities,'" Marinello said.
When criminals run out of options for making money off the art, they often put them in storage or hang them in private homes where they can stay for years without anyone realizing, Marinello said.
The world's most wanted stolen paintings are valued at more than $1 billion and can be seen here:
|"The Concert" by Johannes Vermeer
Stolen as part of the most famous art heist in history, Johannes Vermeer's The Concert is thought to be the most highly valued stolen work of art in the world. In 1990, two thieves dressed as police officers stole 13 pieces of art from the Isabelle Stewart Gardener Museum in Boston.
The stolen art is valued at some $500 million, with the Vermeer ringing in at the most valuable, around $200 million. Its value is partly due to the artist's uniquely limited body of work, totalling some 30 paintings. None of the Gardner museum's missing works have surfaced since they were stolen.
|"Poppy Flowers" by Vincent van Gogh
"Poppy Flowers," a small painting by Vincent van Gogh is worth a considerably large sum in the art world: $55 million. The one foot-by-one foot painting of a vase with poppy flowers, painted in 1882, was stolen from the Mahmoud Khalil Museum in Cairo, Egypt, in 2010.
The painting was cut from its frame by the thieves, who even stole the idea for the theft from previous robbers. "Poppy Flowers" was stolen from the same museum once before, in 1978, but found two years later in Kuwait.
|"The Storm on the Sea of Galilee" by Rembrandt
Rembrant's masterpiece "The Storm on the Sea of Galilee" disappeared along with Vermeer's "The Concert" in the 1990 Boston heist of the Isabelle Stewart Gardner Museum.
Together, the paintings taken from the museum are valued at half a billion dollars, and constitute the most famous art crime in history. The stolen works include pieces by Vermeer, Rembrant, Flinck, and Manet.
|The Davidoff-Morini Stradivarius Violin
The Davidoff-Morini Stradivarius violin is one of the most expensive instruments in the world, valued at $3.5 mllion. It was stolen in 1995 from the New York City apartment of 91-year-old Erica Morini, a former concert violinist, while she was hospitalized and dying.
Morini's father, a Viennese music teacher, gave the violin to her more than 80 years before. The violin was made in 1727 by Antonio Stradivari; Morini's family never told her about the theft, and she died shortly after. It has never been recovered.
|"View of the Sea at Scheveningen" by Vincent Van Gogh
Van Gogh's famous painting of the stormy seas off the coast of the Netherlands, complete with residual sand grains stuck in the painting, was taken in 2002 from the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
Two thieves climbed a ladder to the roof of the museum, dropped in, and stole two paintings, including the "View of the Sea" and the "Congregation Leaving the Reformed Church in Nuenen," which together are valued at $30 million. Two men were convicted of the robbery in 2003, but the paintings have never been recovered.
|"View of Auvers-sur-Oise" by Paul Cezanne
While most of the world celebrated the new millenium on Dec. 31, 1999, one intrepid thief broke into the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, England, and stole Paul Cezanne's "View of Auvers-sur-Oise," valued at nearly $5 million.
The piece was never signed or dated by Cezanne, who never considered the piece finished.
|Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney Murals by Maxfield Parrish
The founder of the Whitney Museum and prominent art world patron Gertrude Vanderbilt commissioned these murals, painted by Maxfield Parrish in 1912.
In July 2002,the paintings were stolen during a burglary of a West Hollywood, Calif., gallery, in which they were cut from their frames during the theft. The value of the two paintings is estimated at $4 million.

Teenagers tempted to head to the tanning salon before prom should think twice: just one indoor tanning session per year in high school or college boosts the risk of developing potentially deadly melanoma by 20 percent, and each additional session during the same year raises this risk almost another two percent.
Teenagers tempted to head to the tanning salon before prom should think twice: just one indoor tanning session per year in high school or college boosts the risk of developing potentially deadly melanoma by 20 percent, and each additional session during the same year raises this risk almost another two percent. The risk of basal cell carcinoma (BCC), a common nonmelanoma skin cancer, increases by 25 percent after only one to two indoor tanning sessions. The risk soars to 73 percent after six or more sessions.
�A tan, whether you get it on the beach or in a tanning bed, damages your skin,� says Perry Robins, MD, President of The Skin Cancer Foundation. �Despite what you may hear at the tanning salon, a tan doesn't come without consequences: the cumulative damage caused by ultraviolet (UV) radiation can lead to skin cancer, as well as wrinkles, brown spots, and other signs of premature skin aging.�
A young melanoma survivor shares her regrets
Chelsea Price was just 23 years old when she was diagnosed with Stage III melanoma. The Virginia native tanned indoors as a teenager before vacations and special events, including prom. Since her diagnosis, Price�s treatment has included several invasive surgeries, which have left her with multiple scars on her neck and back. Although she is currently cancer-free, Price diligently continues to have skin checks, CT scans and treatments every three months.
�My battle has been ongoing, and it has not been easy. It has included repeated trips to the hospital, multiple surgeries and visible scars,� said Price, now 25. �If I could do things over again I would have avoided tanning beds at all costs. My scars are a constant reminder of this painful journey, and I can�t shake the feeling that I wouldn�t have them if I had accepted my natural skin tone and protected my skin the way I do now.�
Tips for Sunless Tanning
The Skin Cancer Foundation has always recommended that women embrace their natural skin tone. However, those who can�t resist the bronzed look but won�t sacrifice their health to achieve it should consider sunless UV-free tanners. Sunless tanners effectively produce an even �tanned� look without causing skin damage. The days of unsightly orange streaks are over; new self-tanners are easier than ever to apply and more capable of providing natural-looking color. They are available in many different formulations, including creams, lotions, gels, pump sprays, aerosols and wipes. For best results, consider these tips:
1. Prep your skin. Exfoliate skin with a scrub or loofah and follow up with a moisturizer to ensure even application.
2. Follow the package directions closely. For example, wait at least 12 hours after shaving to apply (to avoid dark spots in hair follicles) and don�t use on skin with active eczema.
3. Be patient. Self-tanners can take 30-60 minutes to produce visible color on the skin, and this color typically lasts about five days.
4. Repeat as necessary. Generally, the product should be reapplied daily for two to three days, until the desired shade is achieved. Then, reapply about three times a week to maintain the shade.
5. Go to a pro. Professional spray tans are an option for those who want to safely achieve a bronzed look in a hurry. Many salons provide automated application of high concentration, no-rub, aerosolized non-UV tanning products, while others provide a customized airbrush tan. When receiving a professional spray tan, wear protective gear for the mouth, eyes and nose to prevent ingestion or inhalation.
6. Don�t rely on sunless tanners for sun protection. Even if your self-tanner contains sunscreen, reapply a separate broad spectrum (UVA/UVB) sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher every two hours when outdoors. Note that sunscreen is not the only form of sun protection. The Skin Cancer Foundation has always recommended that everyone follow a complete sun protection regimen that includes seeking shade, covering up with clothing, including a wide-brimmed hat and UV-blocking sunglasses, in addition to daily sunscreen use.
For those ready to give up their tans, The Skin Cancer Foundation advocates embracing one�s natural skin tone, like many celebrities do. The Foundation�s Go With Your Own Glow� campaign features print public service advertisements, developed to encourage women to love � and protect � their skin, whatever its natural hue. Go With Your Own Glow� relies not just on health and safety information but also on fashion and beauty trends to convey the message that tanning is unhealthy and simply no longer in style. More information is available at SkinCancer.org/glow.

Extreme cold paralyzes much of USA
Across the South, residents struggled to drive in the snow and ice, found gloves and hats to stay warm and cleared off car windshields.
Teeth-chattering cold and biting winds are keeping children across the South and East Coast home from school, zoo animals penned indoors and even soldiers from reporting to duty.
Parts of all 50 states — even Hawaii — had below-freezing temperatures this morning, while those across much of the North are experiencing below-zero wind chills.
High temperatures Friday will be 15 to 25 degrees below average across the
Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and South, according to the National Weather Service.
That's meant a weather day for hundreds of thousands of children across the USA in some of the largest nation's school districts. Schools closed or had delayed openings in Texas, Oklahoma, Alabama, Louisiana and Virginia.
The bitterly cold air made its way as far south as the Gulf Coast states Friday, where snow accumulations and freezing rain are affecting portions of Texas and Louisiana, the weather service reports.
The weather service issued a winter storm warning for the Houston, San Antonio and Austin areas until midday Friday.
In Texas, more than a quarter of a million students were off Friday after a cold front brought snow and ice in the center and southeast part of the state. The Houston Independent School district, one of the 10 largest in the country with more than 200,000 students, closed Friday after snow hit the area.
The University of Texas-Austin, which has more than 50,000 students, canceled classes Friday because of icy streets. Texas State University in San Marcos, about 30 miles south of Austin, also called off school, as did the Austin Independent School District.
Across the South, residents struggled to drive in the snow and ice, found gloves and hats to stay warm and cleared off car windshields.
The ice and snow made travel treacherous. Accidents were reported throughout the south. In Louisiana, at least one person was killed in the Lake Charles area, while another accident blocked all northbound lanes for hours.
In Texas, Austin-Travis County EMS officials responded to more than 100 wrecks that involved several multiple-car pileups, including one that involved 20 cars. Nearby Williamson County emergency crews responded to almost 40 car wrecks.
Department of Transportation officials prepared sand and other de-icing materials and equipment as staff stood by to treat roadways if needed.
"Hazardous weather can cause problems for drivers, so if you don't have to drive in it — don't," said Greg Malatek, TxDOT Austin District Engineer. "If you do decide to drive, be sure to reduce your speed in icy conditions and take extra precautions when approaching bridges, shaded spots, overpasses and turns, as these areas tend to ice over first."
Even the military post in Fort Hood, Texas, shut down. Only mission-essential staff reported for duty.
Conditions in Texas and other spots in the South were forecast to improve by Saturday. Austin and San Antonio could see a return to temperatures in the 70s by Sunday.
In other places, such as Fairfax County, Va., schools opened late. The district, one of the nation's largest with more than 177,000 students, sent parents an e-mail saying the cold weather caused significant mechanical problems with buses. Parents were urged to not let their children stand outside for a long time, waiting for late buses.
Zoo animals were not immune to the cold. The North Carolina Zoo in Asheboro closed for the third time this week because of extreme cold and a wind chill that brought the temperature down to the single digits.
The 500 or so animals that are part of the zoo's African exhibit are particularly susceptible to the cold, zoo spokesman Rod Hackney says. The elephants, rhinos, giraffes and other animals that make up the exhibit are kept in heated barns. In some barns, heated pipes run under the floors.
"The heating bills are going to go up," Hackney said with a chuckle. "It's very unusual for us to have temperatures in the single digits."

The Samuel H. Kress Collection
The Samuel H. Kress Foundation and Artstor are collaborating on a project to digitize and distribute through Artstor approximately 1,700 art works from the Kress Collection. From the mid–1920s to the end of the 1950s, Samuel Henry Kress (1863–1955) and the Samuel H. Kress Foundation amassed one of the most astonishing collections of European Old Master paintings, sculpture, and decorative arts ever assembled through the efforts of a private individual. Even more remarkable was the manner in which Kress would share his collection with the American people. Starting in the early 1930s, Kress began to divide his private collection among 90 institutions in 33 states. The largest single donation went to the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., while the rest of the Kress Collection was distributed to various institutions across the United States. 700 Old Master works, in groups of twenty to sixty, were given to regional museums in 18 American cities. These Kress regional collections would bring Italian paintings to many communities throughout the country, often for the first time. Another 200 paintings were divided into Kress study collections for 23 colleges and universities. Major gifts of special collections were also donated to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Pierpont Morgan Library, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
Initiated by Kress, this extraordinary act of philanthropy was completed by the Kress Foundation between 1947 and 1961, under the guidance of his brother, Rush Kress. Since it was founded in 1929, the Kress Foundation has devoted its resources almost exclusively to programs related to European art. According to Dr. Marilyn Perry, President Emerita of the Samuel H. Kress Foundation, "Sharing the artistic patrimony of Europe with the people of America was the philanthropic vision of Samuel Kress and the Kress Foundation." In reaching an agreement with Artstor, Dr. Perry expressed her enthusiasm for the use of digital technologies to make the Kress Collection more broadly available for educational and scholarly purposes: "We are deeply gratified that the Artstor initiative of the Mellon Foundation will make it possible to share these treasures even more widely."
Through the present collaboration, Artstor is attempting to reassemble a substantial portion of the Kress Collection within the Digital Library. Before its dispersal, the collection comprised European art of the principal continental schools from the 13th to the early 19th centuries. However, its greatest distinction lies in its extraordinary strength in Italian art. According to Colin Eisler, Robert Lehman Professor of Fine Arts at New York University's Institute of Fine Arts: "The world's most encyclopaedic collection of Italian painting may be that formed by Samuel H. Kress. His original plan was to include works by every artist mentioned by Vasari but the grand design grew to include Italian artists' works through the late eighteenth century. Had Kress' gathering remained intact, it would have been the wonder of viewers and scholars alike for its unique, dazzling comprehensiveness." Many of the greatest Italian artists appear in the Kress Collection, as do numerous significant works by less familiar masters. As a result, the Kress Collection in Artstor reflects this strength in Italian art, while also including works from the French, Spanish, Dutch, Flemish, and German schools. Approximately 1,700 Old Master works from Kress collections in 50 institutions are available in the Digital Library—please see below for a list of the contributing museums. The majority of the images depict paintings, with some examples of sculpture and decorative arts. The collection includes approximately 700 works from the National Gallery of Art.

Frustrated by the pace of rehabilitation after his third career hip surgery, Brandon Marshall returned from Florida before training camp last month and sought the counsel of Mark Turner, a chiropractor who runs the Turner Pain and Wellness Center in Aurora.
"Brandon just said to me, 'How could this be? What's going on?''' Turner said Wednesday in a phone interview. "He had worked his butt off but just didn't have all the information he needed. It's not that the surgeon didn't do a good job. But any time a joint has surgery done to it, you have to have the appropriate rehab to stabilize that joint.''
Marshall trusted Turner based on regular meetings at the facility since the men met at the beginning of the 2012 season. They quickly developed such a good rapport that Turner routinely saw Marshall late Sunday nights after Bears games, home and away, either receiving treatment or picking up food the center's nutritionists prepared.
A former college football teammate of John Harbaugh at Miami (Ohio), Turner recently started Injury Armored, a high-tech testing company he claims arms athletes with information to aid in preventing injury or hastening recovery. According to Turner, a 45-minute risk-assessment test combines traditional static and orthopedic exams for atrophy or flexibility with computerized muscle measurements of body-strength ratio and symmetry. If one leg is significantly weaker than the other, for example, detecting the imbalance can put the athlete on a quicker course back to the field. The procedure focuses on causes rather than symptoms.
"We identify the potential risk of injury and give athletes appropriate exercise to fill in deficits or gaps,'' said Turner, whose growing client list includes Olympians and the Illinois football program. "So Brandon came to me and asked, 'Can you Injury Armor me?' It would have been better sooner, but later is better than never. We were able to identify why he had the issues and now we're trying to fill the gaps in.''
Citing Marshall's privacy, Turner declined to discuss specifically what the tests revealed other than confirm Marshall was correct in saying something didn't seem right about his hip. Even Marshall conceded in a brief phone conversation Wednesday with a Tribune reporter that, "My hip is not recovered the way I need it.''
"Hip is structurally great,'' Marshall tweeted Wednesday. "All about recovery.''
Marshall had returned to South Florida in June after the Bears' minicamp to train at Fit Speed, the company he invested in with Matt Gates, where another source said the elite athlete privately wondered if he had pushed his hip too hard. Too much training can be worse for a rehabilitating player than too little.
"Brandon didn't know he had a deficit because nobody is computer-muscle testing,'' Turner said. "It's such a new thing. Training staffs do a great job but we're able to do more with the approach we have patented to identify that risk.''
Upon Marshall's return to Chicago, his desire to seek the latest, cutting-edge data led him back to Turner's center in Aurora, where he has recruited several Bears teammates, including Jay Cutler. They typically seek either testing, treatment or nutritional advice and Turner estimated the center's dietitian regularly ships special-order food to 18 Bears players.
"The new regime of Bears coach (Marc) Trestman is really trying to elongate these players' careers and find different ways to do it,'' Turner said. "If you can save Brandon Marshall from (missing) one game, not only can it help him financially but he's a big difference. Brandon needs to do well mentally too. He does better the better he is. It's important to keep him at the top of his game.''
A convenient narrative emerged Wednesday when the Bears oddly excused Marshall for the weekend, a day after the wide receiver's cryptic comments about the condition of his hip and his role in the offense. Marshall worrying about whether he will see the ball a lot is like a lifeguard wondering if he will get enough sun. Marshall always can ask Jerry Rice how he fared with the 49ers in 1995, the first season using Trestman's scheme in San Francisco: Rice set an NFL record with 1,848 reception yards.
Both the Bears and Marshall insisted his time off had been pre-arranged but, given Marshall's tumultuous history, neither explanation passed the smell test. In the end, concerns about a snit are moot. The Bears would love to enter the weekend worried more about Marshall mentally than physically. If healthy for 16 games, Marshall will make the diva act the Bears knew they were getting worth every emotional ebb and flow.
But suddenly that looks like a big if — and what's going on with Marshall's hip warrants more worry than what's going on in his head.

Patrol: Brodkorb BAC Over Legal Limit After Crash
ST. PAUL (AP) — The Minnesota State Patrol says test results show fired Minnesota Senate aide Michael Brodkorb's blood-alcohol content was over the legal limit after he crashed his SUV last month.
The patrol said Thursday that Brodkorb had a blood-alcohol concentration of 0.10 percent, which is over Minnesota's legal limit of 0.08 percent.
The patrol says the case has been submitted to Lilydale City Attorney Tom Lehmann for review and possible charges.
A phone message left for Brodkorb was not immediately returned Thursday.
Brodkorb crashed his SUV on a highway near St. Paul Jan. 23. He was taken to Regions Hospital, where his family has said he was improving.
Brodkorb was a communications aide to Senate Republicans. He was fired in 2011 after an affair with then-Senate Majority Leader Amy Koch.

I was fortunate enough to find this kimono for $5 at our local Matsuri. xD The costume went forth from there. I did modify it by lengthening and re-lining the sleeves, adding red bias tape and lace. Wig, tabi socks, and geta were also bought. The obi was the most difficult part. It is made from Casa crepe with interfacing sandwiched inside. I hand painted the cranes and designs all over it. I also handpainted the obidome. Basically, the obi and all it's accessories are attached together and go on in one go for easy dressing!

The ears were made from foam/wonderflex/fur, and attach from the inside of the wig. The katsyusha is on a piece of wire and sewn on to the ears.

Scrupulosity – Navigating the Interior Life Spiritual Dictionary

Filed under Dan Burke, Navigating the Interior Life, Navigating the Interior Life Series, Scrupulosity, Spiritual Dictionary
Navigating the Interior Life Spiritual Dictionary
Scrupulosity – The habit of imagining sin where none exists, or grave sin where the matter is venial. To overcome scrupulosity, a person needs to be properly instructed in order to form a right conscience, and in extreme cases the only remedy is absolute obedience (for a time) to a prudent confessor.
This Spiritual Dictionary Term is an excerpt from the Glossary of Dan's book Navigating the Interior Life – Spiritual Direction and the Journey to God. To learn more, click here

What is spiritual direction and my spiritual direction? What are my "blind spots" and how can I uncover them? What keeps me from all the spiritual riches Christ has for me? How can I better understand where I am in my spiritual progress?
Daniel Burke's Navigating the Interior Life will give you the tools you need to understand how and why we grow and die in the spiritual life and what we can do about it.
Most of us have questions about spiritual direction. What is it? Is it for me? What if I can't find a spiritual director? These questions and more are well answered in Dan Burke's book. The Lord is clearly calling all Catholics into a deeper union with him. This book, in a style which is both inspiring and practical, provides some of the Church's most important wisdom about how to respond to this call.Ralph Martin, PhD, president, Renewal Ministries and author of 'The Fulfillment of All Desire'

ADELAIDE, Australia (AP) -- Tour de France winner Andy Schleck isn't expecting Lance Armstrong to make a full confession to using performance-enhancing drugs in an interview with Oprah Winfrey.
Schleck said a candid interview on Winfrey's cable network set to be broadcast Jan. 17 might help Armstrong win back disillusioned fans, but it is unlikely the American will fully admit to doping.
The Luxembourg rider, in Australia for the Tour Down Under, said, "I don't think (Armstrong) goes there to say he's innocent and that he didn't do anything. It's been many years. For him it's not easy - the media, the pressure."
Schleck said he believed Armstrong had granted the interview to Winfrey "for a good reason. But if he confesses? We don't know."
The segment will be Armstrong's first in-depth interview since he was stripped of his seven Tour de France titles after the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency issued an extensive report detailing accusations of drug use by the Texan and his teammates on his U.S. Postal Service teams. Schleck was surprised by the evidence and USADA's conclusion that Armstrong oversaw one of the most sophisticated doping operations in sports.
"It shocked me," Schleck said. "Somehow, even three or four years ago we maybe knew that the Lance Armstrong era was not the cleanest in cycling so far. But I believe that since 2005 and 2006, with the biological passport, everything has changed for the new generation."
Schleck, who was awarded the 2010 Tour de France after Alberto Contador was disqualified for doping, said cycling would continue to see positive tests but numbers were fast diminishing.
"There will still be some guys positive again this year," he said. "But that's not necessarily a bad sign. That's a sign the system works.
"I don't believe in cycling they dope more. In every sport there's cheaters, but in cycling they get caught. That's a good thing."
The Tour Down Under opens the 2013 ProTour. Schleck's RadioShack Leopard Trek team will not include his older brother Frank, who is awaiting the outcome of a disciplinary hearing after testing positive for a banned diuretic at last year's Tour de France.
Tour Down Under race director Mike Turtur, who lured Armstrong to the race in 2009, 2010 and 2011, also doubted Armstrong would make a full confession.
"Obviously, a confession would lead to other matters so I can't see that happening," he said. "But I'll be as interested as anyone else."

Michigan's Burke captures Naismith honor
Atlanta, GA – Michigan sophomore guard Trey Burke was named the winner of the 2013 Naismith Trophy, given to the college basketball player of the year.
Burke, the first Michigan player to win the award, has guided the Wolverines back to the NCAA title game for the first time since 1993. He buried a deep 3- pointer against Kansas in the regional semifinals to send the game into overtime and made three free throws in the final minute of Saturday's Final Four win over Syracuse.
"Trey is a selfless player who works hard to make his teammates better every day," Michigan head coach John Beilein said of the point guard. "He has provided tremendous leadership all season long and has played at an extremely high level every game."
Burke, the Big Ten Player of the Year, has averaged 18.5 points and 6.8 assists per game this season.
The award was given by the Atlanta Tipoff Club's Board of Selectors, which is comprised of leading basketball journalists, coaches and administrators from around the country. Fan voting accounted for 25 percent of the final tally.
The other finals were Creighton junior Doug McDermott, Indiana junior Victor Oladipo and Georgetown sophomore Otto Porter, Jr.
Miami-Florida's Jim Larranaga won the men's college coach of the year honor.
Other finalists included Saint Louis University coach Jim Crews, Gonzaga University coach Mark Few and Georgetown University coach John Thompson III.
Larranaga guided the Hurricanes to the 2013 Atlantic Coast Conference regular season and the ACC Tournament championships. Miami lost in the Sweet 16 to Marquette, but finished with a 29-7 overall mark.

This is a pretty nice hydration pack, with some exemplary features. The foremost feature, is their Aircomfort System, which uses thin steel springs and a mesh backing to tension the pack away from your back, providing excellent ventilation and air flow without getting a sweaty back. Everything works in tandem with mesh shoulder straps, padded hip and neck sections (where the springs attach), and waist and sternum straps. The system also helps distribute the weight load evenly, for a noticeable comfort, and good anti-swaying characteristic. Deuter is a German company that was founded in 1898, initially making mailbags, and they now manufacturer sleeping bags, and backpacks for all sorts of activities, including outdoor sports, traveling, business and school work.
Deuter Race X Air
The Race X Air has a 850 cubic inch or 14 litre carrying capacity, weighs around 820 grams or 9 ounces, and comes with a 2 liter reservoir bag, and a plethora of features. The tear dropped shaped pack is made with a combination of HexLite 210 and their Deuter Microrip Nylon fabrics, for lightweight and durability, and comes in Ocean/Silver and Black/Titan colors. The Race X Air is the smallest of their Race series of packs, and uses their Advanced Aircomfort ventilation system, which is a very innovative and highly functional entity.
The reservoir bag is made by Source Vagabond Systems, and is called the Streamer, and it's pretty trick. The Streamer's closure is a variant of a river runner dry bag closure system, and is durable and leakproof. Just slide the top bar off the reservoir, fold open the bag, clean or fill as needed, then fold over and slide it back on. Source was founded in 1989 and manufactures in Haifa District in Israel, where they make hydration systems, adventure sandals and travel accessories. Besides the excellent opening system, the reservoir has the Helix Valve silicone mouthpiece with a Dirt Shield cover, PE film material with Grunge-Guard (an anti-microbial treatment) and a Glass-Like surface which prevents a bio-film build up.

it was....not as good as I had hoped it would be...its just too little time to adapt such amount of content...7/10 for this, a shame really because this is IMO the best arc in all of the Clannad VN (even better than After Story). If only this had been 40 minutes

Just watched it RAW...
Everything was super fast forward, but I guess the essence of the story was presented. I cried like crazy in the game, but here, I felt that the story was touching but I didn't feel like crying at all.
There's also more kisses in this episode than the whole 2 seasons of Clannad combined

I watched it raw too and it felt abit rushed. They hit the key points, but it felt more like a 5 minute trailer with the rapid pacing. I cant bring myself to pass final judgement on it till I see subs, so we'll see. Overall it was nice seeing Kyou's ark animated, just wish they'd taken better care in condensing it.

I just watched it myself. As what many people have mentioned already, a lot of the details were deliberately left out to cram the material into a 25 minute frame. This meant a lot of the more enjoyable moments in the VN or the drama CD were not included and that the whole thing felt like a fast-forwarding fest. The pace is completely off-balance.
A shame really. Although they did manage to hit most of the major key points, the OVA, like the Tomoyo incarnation before it, felt a bit lackluster.
The biggest problem though, is the lack of EMOTIONS. Where is the angst? Where is the pain? Where is the desperation?! Many were just cut for the sake of cramming. Even Sunhara's reaction here was less than amusing. Another thing is that Kyou is way too soft here... and I mean soft as in cotton-soft. The OVA also excluded one of the best uttered exchange from the VA, which occurred at the end of Kyou's portion when she kissed Tomoya.
Overall... happy to get an OVA, but... SIGH~

OHHHHHHHHHHHH, I watched it. Yup got to agree with you guys, 1 episode is definitely to short for this. There was s much that could of been done or covered. Sigh, can't believe it's over and I only get 1 Kyou episode...oh, Kyou with that Hair is a no no, long hair is a must for her. Even with that hair she still didn't look like her twin, weird. But anyways, it was too short and not enough....

Yeah, I will agree with you all when you say it was rushed. They flew through a lot of scenes in the VN, and the pacing itself felt off.
However, I think if you take this episode as a compliment to the VN, then it was great. This episode, IMO anyway, was clearly aimed at the VN players, and not necessarily the anime only viewers. The Tomoyo episode felt more stand-alone, but this episode assumes you've played the VN.
Overall though, as a Kyou fan, I enjoyed it. Maybe more so then the Tomoyo episode.
One more question: Can we assume that was Nagisa in the end Ryou meets up with?

I don't think it was Nagisa.
I think the Tomoyo OVA was more enjoyable to be honest, despite that I actually like both of the game-routes almost on the same level.
Oh well, it was nice to see Sunohara and schoolgirl Kyou again, so I'm not complaining.
Actually I would have preferred if they somehow make it as a 30-35-40 minutes long OVA, and implement somehow Kappei too, so Ryou wouldn't be so sad in the end. I was wishing for something like that in the game too, but it could have been actually a good idea doing it here. Well it's no big deal though.
edit: and it was a bit ironic that we've seen more kisses and intimate hugs etc here, than the the Afterstory and first season combined. :/ (At least I'm under the impression that's the case)

A shame it was so short. Would have worked a lot better if it at least lasted an hour or so. Still really enjoyed it, which is quite a surprise because i didn't think i'd like it as much as i did.

hm.. I was looking forward for this episode because personally I loved kyou route for the game, but they changed the VN plot little and yeah it was definitely rushed. only if it was longer it would've been pretty good. they did it so well for tomoyo OVA so why is this one kinda rushed? no clue~ but I'm definitely not very pleased after all that waiting kyou route is still the best though~

It's rushed a hell lot. My friends who didn't play Clannad or watch the 1st season don't understand why Tomoya loves Kyou lol
At least they put some kiss scenes here but...well... I think this epi is better than Tomoyo's Arc in term of art-quality, and that's all. And did anyone hear Kyou say anything about feeding Tomoya to the sharks if he loves Ryou?

It was definitely too rushed, and couldn't capture the full feelings it had had in the game, but I just can't help give it a 10, because it is the only episode where Tomoyo ends up with Kyou >.<
That said, I am in despair due to thoughts of having watched the final episode of Clannad. Seriously, Clannad is one series I wish KyoAni kept milking on and on, cause Clannad is just so fat that it would still be healthy even if there were two more seasons of it.

I wasn't able to watch the Tomoyo chapter because it felt kinda weird. Even though Nagisa was the last person I wanted Tomoya to end up with, I had long since accepted the fact that Tomoya loved Nagisa, and watching episodes like this one where Tomoya is expressing his love for another girl is almost like watching him cheat on Nagisa. I just can't help it. It was rushed as hell just like everyone said, but I don't think that could've been helped really.
I don't know why I gave this a 10. That was an accident. I should've selected 7. In the end I still don't understand why Tomoya went out with Ryou in the first place.

Thanks a lot Apollo Diagnostics…keep up the good work!"Mrs. Ferha Jabeen, Old Bowenpally, Secunderabad

Now that's what I call a fine job!"Ms. G. Jyothi, Warangal
"My mother needed a blood test, but was unable to walk due to pain in her leg. A Phlebotomist from Apollo Diagnostics came home and collected the sample. I was informed, via SMS, that the report could be collected from any of the 3 centres in Dibrugarh, downloaded online or even delivered home for a nominal fee. Although the rates were reasonable, my mother also received a senior citizens discount too! This saved my time, money & energy. My aachhe din really seemed to have arrived! Thank you Apollo Diagnostics and hats off for displaying true professionalism."Mr. Alokk Kar Dowerah, Dibrugarh

Tagan A+ Curbic Review
Some cases are quiet, sleek office boxes. Some are windowed and lit up like Vegas. It all depends on user preference but few offer a compromise between glamour and functionality. Likewise some companies tend to focus solely on cooling, and others only the quality of the case itself. Cases come in a vast variety, they are very diverse as are the users themselves: so it is difficult sometimes to find the perfect case that is also ready to keep your hardware running smoothly.
Tagan is a company that was founded in 2001, with headquarters in Germany, that is known best for their large line of power supplies ranging between 330 to 1300 watts. They also make hard drive enclosures and computer cases – one of which I shall be reviewing today: the Tagan A+ ("APlus-Case") Curbic – a mid ATX case with dual 180mm fans. I will be putting this new case through some tests to see how well it stacks up against the competition.
Closer Look:
The Curbic case came shipped in a plain white box with black and white images on the front and back, and text explaining some of the features located on the sides. The front and back are the same, as are the sides. The top reads Curbic, and the bottom is blank. The box itself shows little or no damage, just dirt - so from the outside it looks to be well padded. The box art is rather disappointing in comparison to some cases; hopefully the case is done better than the box!
Unveiling the case shows that it is enclosed in a protective bag to keep the paint form being scratched, and help against moisture damage. Thick foam spacers help insure that the case is kept padded and away from the box walls – which helps keep the case from getting dents.
The included hardware comes in a plastic baggy – 9x mounting standoffs and screws, four case feet, zip tie and tie mount (for wire management), a black screw, and piece of metal to be installed to allow the side panel to be lockable, generic I/O panel, O-magnet, eight screws for any expansion or bay drives you may want to have permanently attached, and an extra rubber band and twist tie (you could also use these for wire management). Unfortunately there is no manual to aid novices and alike on what to do with all of these items, and even a simple insert would be better than nothing.
Lets pop this open!

Aus 44 Designs von 14 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
We are the World Alliance of RollerStars ("WAR"), featuring the best skaters in the world! We have a new national TV show coming out and we want to update our WAR logo! In addition, we need a brand-new, stat-of-the-art show title logo for "RollerStars", separate contest, can be found at: http://contests.sitepoint.com/contests/5239
"World Alliance of RollerStars" a.k.a. "WAR"
Desired Color Scheme:
Please consider demographic target and look at previous versions
Desired Style:
Please see guide lines and links to previous examples
Accepted File Formats:
Standard Web Formats (.jpg, .gif or .png); Vector Formats (.eps, .pdf or .ai); Layered Formats (.psd or .tiff)
You will be designing a logo for our league, which will be seen in all Media, featured on merchandise, etc. You have the option of giving us something new OR designing a derivative of our current logo. We encourage you to do both!! (Note: We very much like our current logo, it just needs to be updated--so we seriously encourage you to give us both your original logo treatment; and then give us an updated version of our current logo).
To see our current league logo, please check out the WAR: World Alliance of RollerSports logo. The current WAR logo can be found here. Important note: You should consider modeling your design after our current WAR logo. However, the words are to read "WAR: World Alliance of RollerStars". If you put the logo over the earth, please make sure that the design is layered, so that we can use the WAR logo over the earth at our discretion.
If you want to see how our current logos work for television, then go to to our current site and play "Exclusive Video Part 2". You can simply click here.
- Target Demo of our Audience: Men, 18-34, Kids, Teens
- Put a small "TM" (for Trademark) next to each design that you submit. This should be layered so that it can be removed for certain uses.
- You will be required to deliver the logos in the following formats: Standard Web, .jpg, .gif, Vector, .pdf, .ai, .eps, layered fonts/backgrounds, .psd, .tiffWe reserve the right to name up to 5 winners of this Contest. First place is, of course, guaranteed. Naming additional winners is at our sole discretion.
- 1st Place: $250 (Guaranteed)
- 2nd Place: $100 (Optional)
- 3rd Place: $50 (Optional)
- 4th Place: $50 (Optional)
- 5th Place: $50 (Optional)Note: We are also running a separate contest for our "RollerStars" show title, here at SitePoint. Look for it at: http://contests.sitepoint.com/contests/5239
One more thing, since the WAR (league) logo will most likely be a derivative of our existing WAR logo, we assume that a lot of the entries will look similar; therefore, please make your design unique through type treatment, layers, effects, etc. Thank you.
By entering this Contest, You represent and warrant (that is, You guarantee to World Alliance of RollerStars) that: (a) You are of legal age to enter into contracts (You are not a minor); (b) Your Logo is Your own original, previously unpublished, and previously unproduced work and contains no material otherwise created by someone who is not You; (c) Your Logo will not be the subject of any actual or threatened litigation or claim; (d) World Alliance of RollerStars is not required to make any payments of any kind to You or any other person or company in connection with World Alliance of RollerStars use of the Logo other than as expressly provided herein; (e) the Logo does not and will not infringe on any third party's intellectual property or other proprietary rights, or rights of publicity or privacy; (f) the Logo does not and will not violate any law; (g) the Logo is not and will not be defamatory, libelous, pornographic or obscene; (h) You have full right and power to enter into and perform this agreement; (i) You have all rights, approvals, and/or consents necessary to submit Your Logo to World Alliance of RollerStars and to grant all rights to World Alliance of RollerStars as specified herein; (j) all factual assertions that You have made and will make to World Alliance of RollerStars are true and complete; and (k) You will deliver the final logo artwork in the following formats for exploitation by World Alliance of RollerStars: Standard Web, .jpg and .gif; Vector, .pdf, .ai, .eps; Layered fonts, .psd., .tiff.
