Biography from the Archives of askART
A painter of landscape and figure subjects in Pennsylvania and Maine, Andrew Wyeth became one of the best-known American painters of the 20th century. His style is both realistic and abstract, and he works primarily in tempera and watercolor, often using the drybrush technique.
He is the son of Newell Convers and Carolyn Bockius Wyeth of Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, and was home-schooled because of delicate health. His art instruction came from his famous-illustrator father, who preached the tying of painting to life--to mood and to essences and to capturing the subtleties of changing light and shadows.
The Wyeth household was a lively place with much intellectual and social stimulation. Because of the prominence of N.C. Wyeth, persons including many dignitaries came from all over the country to visit the family. Andrew's sisters Carolyn and Henriette became noted artists as did his brother-in-law, Peter Hurd. The non-art oriented brother, Nathaniel Wyeth, achieved much success as a chemist for DuPont where, among many inventions, he created a durable plastic so plastic bottles could hold carbonated beverages.
Andrew Wyeth maintained a style strongly oriented towards Realism when Abstract Expressionism was all-prevalent. Adhering to his own path, he was snubbed by many prominent art critics. However, his paintings have elements of abstraction in that the work derives from his strong feelings about his subjects, which often appear in unusual positions, juxtapositions, and with features highlighted for emotional effect. His work usually suggests rural quiet, isolation, and somber mood and is devoid of modern-day objects such as automobiles.
In 1937, Wyeth's first one-man show of watercolors depicting scenes around Port Clyde, Maine, sold out at the Macbeth Gallery in New York. In Maine, Andrew first spent his summers in Port Clyde with his family, but after his marriage to Betsy James in 1940, he and his wife went regularly to Cushing.
Christina Olson of Cushing, at the end of Hathorn Point, was his most famous model, but over the years, Wyeth formed close friendships with - and painted - several other Maine neighbors. His closest friend, Walt Anderson, gradually ages before the eyes of viewers in numerous Wyeth drawings and paintings that show life's changes from the youthful
Young Swede
(1939) to the older man in
The Olson House, where Christina and her brother lived, is now owned and maintained by the Farnsworth Museum, where Wyeth had his first major exhibition in 1951 and where the Andrew Wyeth Gallery is now a permanent exhibition place for his paintings. In 1964, the directors of the Farnsworth Museum paid $65,000 for Wyeth's painting
Her Room
, the highest price ever paid by a museum for the work of a living artist. The Olson House is the first property ever named to the National Register of Historic Places for being recognized as the site of a painting,
Christina's World
, one of the most recognized paintings in American art.
After the death of Christina Olson, Wyeth used female models Siri Erickson of Cushing, and Helga Testorf of Chadds Ford. Depictions of the nude Helga, a total of 240 works, provided grist for an avalanche of sensational publicity. The Helga paintings were exhibited in 1987 at the National Gallery of Art, the gallery's first exhibition of works by a living artist.
Wyeth has received many official honors. In 1963, he was the subject of a cover story for
magazine and, thanks to President John F. Kennedy, he became the first visual artist to be nominated for the Presidential Medal of Freedom. In 1990, Wyeth received the Congressional Gold Medal, the first artist to have that honor.
Andrew and his wife Betsy have two sons, Nicholas and Jamie Browning, the latter who has become a prominent American artist, and the former who shares with his father and his uncle, Nathaniel, a great fascination with machines, especially aviation.

Andrew Wyeth passed on in his sleep at the age of 91 on January 16, 2009 at his home in Chadds Ford.
Biography from
Frank E. Fowler
The following is from Frank E. Fowler, the primary dealer of the work of Andrew Wyeth.
A solitary figure for many years in contemporary American art, Andrew Wyeth is a representational watercolorist and tempera painter who ignored the taste of the art establishment during the heyday of abstract expressionism to win nationwide popularity, inspire countless imitators, and earn the highest prices ever paid for the work of a living American artist. He is generally regarded as an abstractionist in that his trees, birds, and kitchen stoves, which look precisely like trees, birds, and kitchen stoves are likely to be metaphors for loneliness, violence or decay. His pictures evoke in viewers moods with which they are familiar---often meditative or nostalgic or tranquil and sometimes unsettling, and his perception of the interiors of houses, landscapes, and people indigenous to his home environments in Pennsylvania and Maine---his only subjects, is distinctly personal. As a draughtsman, Wyeth has been compared to the Flemish masters, whom he also approaches in the opinion of John Canaday of the "New York Times" (February 14, 1967: "In the exquisite adjustment of tone, color and emphasis that make the difference between the detailed reproduction of nature and a work of art."
Andrew Newell Wyeth was born in the idyllic Pennsylvania farming village of Chadds Ford, in the valley of the Brandywine River, on July 12, 1917, the youngest of five children of Newell Convers and Carolyn Brenneman (Bockius) Wyeth. The elder Wyeth's mother and father settled in Needham, Massachusetts. When he was a young man, N.C. Wyeth moved from New England to study with the illustrator Howard Pyle in Chadds Ford, where he built his home and studio and where all his children were born. His older son, Nathaniel Convers is an engineer; two of his daughters Henriette (Mrs. Peter Hurd) and Carolyn, are painters; and another daughter, Ann (Mrs. John McCoy) is a composer of music.
As the son of the well-known mural painter and beloved illustrator of Treasure Island, Robin Hood and other children's classics, Andrew Wyeth grew up in an atmosphere that encouraged his tendency toward the theatrical. The collection of historical costumes and props in his father's studio nourished his romantic fantasies, in which he was free to indulge because sinus trouble in childhood prevented him from attending school and private tutoring left him with time to fill in solitude. In his conversation with Thomas Hoving for the catalogue of his exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1976-1977, he recalled: "I played alone, and wandered a great deal over the hills, painting watercolors that literally exploded, slapdash over my pages, and drew in pencil or pen and ink in a wild and undisciplined manner."
Impressed by the talent of Henriette and Carolyn, N.C. Wyeth had begun instructing them in drawing at an early age. Andrew received scant attention until he was about fifteen years old, when he showed his father a toy miniature theatre he had constructed. In his academic training in his father's studio, he gained an understanding of how to look carefully at and deeply into an object and to observe and seize its transient quality. N.C. Wyeth also taught his son the use of the materials and tools of painting, but did no impose on him his own technique.
The Wyeth family customarily spent the summer months in New England, at first in Needham, where, as a boy, Andrew acquired the feeling for pine trees apparent in his mature painting, and later beginning about 1927, in Port Clyde, Maine. His watercolor landscapes and seascapes of Maine, somewhat reminiscent of Winslow Homer, made up the greater part of his first one-man show, a sell out, at the William Macbeth Gallery in New York Clity in October 1937. Immediate success, however, did not reassure Wyeth, an exceedingly self-critical artist. Feeling that his work was too facile and spontaneous, he returned to his father's studio to pursue realism by concentrating on the human figure and over a period of some months, at the suggestion of his father, drew a skeleton from all angles.
While continuing to paint his deft and flamboyant watercolors, such as his 1942 series of lobsters, Wyeth soon began working in egg tempera, a technique to which his brother-in-law, the painter Peter Hurd, introduced him. The medium of tempera, together, with the drybrush method he often employed, forced Wyeth to slow down the execution of a painting and enabled him to achieve the superb textural effects that distinguish his work. He exhibited his temperas at a 1941 Macbeth Gallery show and at the "Amercan Realists and Magic Realists" show in 1943 at the Museum of Modern Art in New York where he was represented in the latter category. Although he admired the vigor of some abstract expressionists, who were then coming into dominance, Wyeth's statement in the show's catalogue made clear the difference between him and the avant-gardists: "My aim is to escape from the medium with which I work. To leave no residue of technical mannerisms to stand between my expression and the observer. To seek freedom of so-called free and accidental brushwork . . . Not to exhibit craft but rather to submerge it; and make it rightfully the hand-maiden of beauty, power and emotional content.
What Wyeth regards as the turning point in his life and career came with the death in October 1945 of his father, whose car was hit by a train at a railroad crossing in Chadds Ford. Wyeth's paintings in several solo shows at the Macbeth Gallery and various group shows had earned critical respect for their lyrical and imaginative characteristics and indications of steady development in brushwork, use of color, and treatment of light. But referring to the death of his father in an interview with Richard Meryman for Life (May 14, 1965), Wyeth said, "When he died, I was just a clever watercolorist-lots of swish and swash." The tragic accident left him with the resolve "to really do something serious" with his talent and training. "I had always had this great motion toward the landscape," he told Meryman, "and so with his death, …the landscape took on a meaning-the quality of him."
The increased importance of emotion in Wyeth's work is evident in the poignant but restrained tempera Winter 1946, on which he concentrated for several months following his father's death. He expressed his own feeling in the form of a boy running precipitously down a hill as the bright winter's sun casts an accompanying shadow in flight. While at work on the painting, Wyeth felt much remorse that he had never done a picture of his father, but he said in the Life interview, "the hill finally became a portrait of him." It was at a crossing on the other side of the hill that his father had been killed.
Although the human figure does appear occasionally in Wyeth's early work, such as "Rum Runner" (1944), it was not until after his father's death that he began in earnest to paint people. Most of his portraits are of a single figure, unsmiling and reflective, transmitting a sense of loneliness. Mary Rose Beaumont suggested in Art & Artists (August 1980) that he found a surrogate father in Karl Kuerner, a German-born Chadds Ford neighbor whose farm, of 150 or more acres, had fascinated Wyeth since childhood. In 1948, after making many preliminary drawings, he painted what he considers to be his best portrait, Karl.
"Wyeth's photgraphic realism is deceptively simple: it is built upon a many-dimensional relation to his work," Allen S. Weller wrote in regard to that painting in Art USA Now (1963). "…Karl's weather-beaten face corresponds to the weathered ceiling. The abstract flat surface aesthetics of the ceiling are brutally broken by the third visage of Karl, a juxtaposition as vivid in optical effect as a surrealist's psychic impact. The psychic is not omitted, however-much is hung on Karl's relation to the ceiling hooks."
Equivalents of ceiling hooks in some of Wyeth's other pictures often have the effect, among others, of avoiding the "sweetness" that he deplores in much realistic painting. The jagged, menacing edge of a sawed log, seen through the window of a sun-filled room in Kuerner's house, threatens the calm of Groundhog Day (1959,) one of Wyeth's most widely admired works. Through such details as the log and the table set for one, the artist intended to capture what he called "the very essence of the man," Karl, who is not present in the picture.
Nor do the cattle appear in Brown Swiss (1957), his landscape "portrait" of the Kuerner farm. The painting owes its title to a pencil sketch of a Brown Swiss, but its inspiration came from a sidelong glimpse that Wyeth once had of Kuerner's house reflected in a pond. In the process of abstracting and transmitting his impression, he made scores of painstaking drawings and watercolor sketches, eventually reducing the Brown Swiss to cattle tracks across the field and, as he explained to Hoving, making his predominant color "almost like the tawny brown pelt of a Brown Swiss bull." Other Wyeth pictures associated with Kuerner, who died in 1979, include the tempera Spring Fed (1967), and interior of the mild room; the drybrush watercolor landscape Evening at Kuerners (1970); the tempera portrait Anna Kuerner (1971) and the double portrait 'the Kuerners (1971).
Among Wyeth's many works that belong to his Pennsylvania experience, but not specifically the Kuerners, is Trodden Weed (1951), a picture reportedly admired by Nikita S. Khrushchev, depicting the booted legs of a man walking on a brown hill. He conceived the idea for the painting while recuperating from a severe illness, when he slowly roamed the fields wearing a pair of boots that had once been part of Howard Pyle's costume collection and watching his feet and the ground beneath. The painting may symbolize death itself or man's rejection of illness and death.
For Wyeth, the Pennsylvania countryside meant solid stone walls and soggy, rich earth, in contrast to Maine, which seemed to him "all dry bones and desiccated sinews," as he was quoted as saying in the catalogue of his Metropolitan Museum of Art show. But Maine appealed to him strongly because of a simplicity that he found to be disappearing elsewhere in America. He tried to epitomize the people and the land in portraits like The Patriot (1964) and scenes like River Cove (1958).
On his twenty-second birthday, while spending the summer in Maine, Wyeth met Betsy Merle James, the daughter of a newspaper editor. They were married the following year, on May 15, 1940. At their first meeting Betsy James had taken Wyeth to Cushing to introduce him to her long-time friend Christina Olson, who had been crippled by polio in childhood. It was her weather-beaten, three-story, steep-roofed, clapboard house, built on a coastal promontory, rather than Christina herself, that attracted Wyeth's interest on that occasion. But Christina's personality and qualities that seemed to Wyeth to represent Maine gradually made her his favorite subject. The Olsons-Christina and her brother Alvaro, a blueberry farmer, were the Maine counterpart of the Kuerners. He was free to come and go in the Olson household, as he was at the Kuerners', and turned a second-story room in Christina's house into a studio.
Christina's World (1948), a tempera owned by the Museum of Modern Art, has a haunting appeal and broad symbolism that account largely for its having become probably Wyeth's most popular work. Christina---whose crippled condition, like the peeling wallpaper of a Wyeth interior, does not immediately engage the viewer's attention---drags herself through a blueberry field toward her distant house. Only her pink dream relieves the bleakness of the landscape. Wyeth's tender, subtle portraits, Christina Olson (1947), Miss Olson (1952), and Anna Christina (1967), as Mary Rose Beaumont pointed out, make it clear that "Christina is not the eager, young yearning woman of Christina's World, but an ugly, hideously crippled middle-aged woman, whose quality of mind Wyeth admired to the point where ugliness is transcended in the loving truth of his portrayal."
Among Wyeth's most memorable works are some of his interior and exterior paintings of Christina's house, including Wind from the Sea (1947), Seed Corn (1948), and Weather Side (1965). End of Olsons, a view of part of the roof and chimney of the house, was painted in 1969, the year after Christina's death, and is the last of his pictures relating to the Olson environment. But among his neighbors in Maine, Wyeth found quite a different subject for his portraits in the teen-age girl, Siri, whose father, George Erickson, he painted in The Finn (1969). The seminude Bikini (1968), the topless Sauna (1969), and the nudes The Virgin (1969), Indian Summer (1970), and Black Water (1978) belong to a series that Robert Hughes in Time (September 3, 1973) placed among "the solidest and least theatrical of Wyeth's work." In his interview with Hoving, Wyeth contrasted his pictures of Siri, which represented "an invigorating, zestful, powerful phenomenon," with those of Christina, "which symbolize the deterioration and the dwindling of something."
Having rarely, if ever, looked beyond his Maine and Pennsylvania homes for his subject matter, Wyeth has long been confronted with critics' misgivings about his narrowness of range. He insists upon painting what he knows best and what involves him emotionally. "Realism without emotion is dead painting. Like Normarn Rockwell," he maintained in his discussion with Selden Rodman for Conversations with Artists (1957). Talking with Hoving, he coupled the emotional with the technical in assuring quality. "Emotion is my bulwark," he said. "I think that's the only thing that endures, finally."
Because of his emphasis on his feelings towards his subjects, Wyeth has occasionally been charged with lapsing into sentimentality, especially in his evocation of the past. Some other critics also deride the anecdotal references in paintings like Distant Thunder (1961), in which a woman, Betsy Wyeth, lies asleep in a blueberry field on a summer day while the family dog nearby grows anxious about an ominous sound. But Wyeth is generally praised for lack of pathos in his treatment of old age and similar subjects and, to use Weller's words, "an almost animistic feeling for his rural milieu." Searching for a deeper meaning in whatever he paints, he strives to convey silence in the fall of snow, steadfastness in the flow of water. As he explores themes of distance, with recognizable objects that have meaning for them. His subdued, nonsensual colors, primarily earth tones, suit his melancholy, or "thoughtful," the word he prefers, outlook. "It is really rather odd," John Russell wrote in the New York Times (October 24, 1976) "that a nation which rightly prides itself on its buoyancy of spirit should identify so firmly with an artist whose specialty is the study of wounded or inarticulate natures in an unforgiving landscape."
A major exhibition of Wyeth's work drew hundreds of thousands of visitors to the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia in 1966 and the Baltimore Museum of Art in 1966-67, and broke attendance records at the Whitney Museum in New York in 1967 before moving on to the Art Institute of Chicago. Enormous crowds also flocked to his retrospective at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts in 1970 and to his exhibition, "Two Worlds of Andrew Wyeth: Kuerners and Olsons," which included preliminary studies of his paintings at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York in 1976-77. His paintings are included in the collections of many American museums, including the Brandywine River Museum in Chadds Ford. Twenty-six of his paintings, constituting the most extensive collection aside from the artist's own, are in the permanent collection of the Greenville County Museum of Art in Greenville, South Carolina.
In a choice reflecting public taste in painting, President John F. Kennedy named Wyeth in 1963 as the first artist to receive the Presidential Freedom Award, the country's highest civilian award. Another president, Richard Nixon, honored Wyeth in 1970 with a dinner and private exhibition of his paintings at the White House. On that "first time" occasion Nixon toasted him as the painter who had "caught the heart of America." Wyeth's other tributes include the gold medal for painting of the National Institute of Arts and Letters for 1965 and scores of painting and watercolor prizes and honorary degrees. In 1977 he made his first trip to Europe, to be inducted into the French Academy of the Fine Arts, becoming the only American artist since John Singer Sargent to be admitted to the Academy. The Soviet Academy of the Arts elected him an honorary member in 1978.
Andrew and Betsy Wyeth, who helps her husband in business matters and with exhibitions, have two sons. A tempera profile of his older son, Nicholas, (1956) in which Wyeth caught the evanescent quality of youth, was a favorite of President Dwight D. Eisenhower. James Browning (Jamie) Wyeth, a noted painter in his own right, was the daydreaming boy wearing a coonskin hat whom his father painted in the drybrush watercolor Faraway (1952). The Wyeth homestead in Chadds Ford consists of an eighteenth-century miller's house, a gristmill now used as a studio, and a converted granary, all of which have been carefully restored. In Cushing, Wyeth lives in a restored eighteenth-century clapboard house. His fondness for simple things does not mean that his tastes are ordinary or inexpensive in houses, cars or clothes. He often wears suits with collars made by Pennsylvania Germans. The rangy blue-eyed-artist dislikes intrusion into his private life and is apt to be reserved at times. But his neighbors know him as a "down-to-earth guy" with a hearty laugh. "He's a tease and a mimic," Amei Wallach reported in Newsday (October 10, 1976), "good at telling stories and doing all the voices realistically. At one point, he even thought about becoming an actor." His original work may be seen on the website: www.awyeth.com
Biography written September, 1984
Biography from
Newman Galleries
Andrew Wyeth was born in Chadds Ford, PA, in 1917. He is the son of the famous painter and illustrator, N.C. Wyeth (1882-1945). Receiving his general education from tutors, Andrew Wyeth was instructed in art by his father.
Wyeth was a great admirer of the Northern European Renaissance painter and printmaker, Albrecht Durer (1471-1528), and the twentieth-century American artist, Edward Hopper (1882-1967).
Continuing to live in Chadds Ford, Wyeth summered in Cushing, Maine. The microscopically realistic style, which Wyeth mastered in his tempera paintings, is a direct response to his love for these two places and their people.
At the age of twenty, Wyeth had his first one-man exhibition at the William Macbeth Gallery in New York. He also exhibited at the Art Institute of Chicago. In 1943, he participated in a group show at the Museum of Modern Art in New York that presented "American Realists and Magic Realists." He exhibited at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in 1947, and in 1966 where 200 of his paintings were on display. In June of 1960, the Royal Academy in London, England, held its first Andrew Wyeth retrospective exhibition, "The Two Worlds of Andrew Wyeth." In 1976, the exhibition came to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. In this show, Wyeth paralleled two families through his paintings, the Kuerners from Chadds Ford and the Olsons from Cushing.
Wyeth was a recipient of many awards from many institutions and societies, including the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Carnegie Institute, the Wilmington Museum, the Butler Art Institute, the American Academy & Institute of Arts (1947); the American Watercolor Society (1952); as well as many others. President John F. Kennedy nominated Wyeth for the Medal of Freedom and President Lyndon B. Johnson presented it to him in 1963. In 1990, President George Bush awarded him the Congressional Medal.
The artist's work is in many private and public collections, among them the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; the Art Institute of Chicago; the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.; the University of Nebraska; New Britain Museum, and the Delaware Trust Bank.
After his marriage in the early 1940's, Wyeth experienced two traumatic events that changed his art- the death of his father in 1945 and his personal lung illness in 1950. He then turned to portraying survivors and their surroundings in great depth and detail.
His paintings possess pictorial symbolism, and his oeuvre varies in themes, from portraying empty places and landscapes to animals and people in their surroundings. Wyeth creates an emotionally rich record of American backcountry.
Biography from
Thomas Nygard Gallery
¨ Memorial Art Gallery, Rochester, New York.
¨ 3rd Exhibition of Watercolors by Andrew Wyeth, Doll & Richards, Inc., Boston Massachusetts.
Born to the famous western painter and illustrator Newell Convers Wyeth, Andrew Wyeth was educated privately and trained in the arts by his father. It took little time for the budding artist to build his own reputation. At the early age of 19, Wyeth began painting professionally. In 1937, the William Macbeth Gallery in New York City held a one-man show of his work. In the 1940's, out from under the wing of his father, the young artist was recognized by critics as an artist of unprecedented skill and originality.
His masterpieces, such as
Christina's World
, brought him international recognition and healthy sale prices. In the following years institutions such as the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Los Angeles County Museum, the Boston Museum of Fine Art and several others have acquired examples of his work.

Stonington's public works director taking same position in East Lyme
Stonington - Public Works Director Joe Bragaw has informed town officials he will be leaving his post as of Nov. 1 to take a job as director of public works in East Lyme, the town where he lives.
First Selectman Ed Haberek said Wednesday that Bragaw has done a spectacular job in his 13 years as head of the town's public works department.
"It's been an honor and a privilege to have worked with him," Haberek said. "Joe has been a terrific asset for the town and he will be a tremendous asset for East Lyme."
Haberek praised Bragaw for his handling of streetscape projects, the current $6.2 million project to fix town athletic fields and roads and his handling of recent storms.
In addition, Haberek said Bragaw has done a superb job informing residents about projects and scheduling even when they involve controversial issues.
Haberek said the town will now begin a search for Bragaw's replacement. Until then, Haberek said Bragaw's duties will be shared by Highway Supervisor Lou Dicesare, Town Engineer Larry Sullivan and Steve Steadman, who has been the clerk of the works for projects such as the recent installation of the artificial turf football field at the high school.
Bragaw, an East Lyme native who is paid $97,344 in Stonington, said his new job offers added responsibilities and new challenges.
He called Stonington a "fantastic community with a lot of good people."
"I think with a team effort we accomplished a lot and have a lot to be proud of," he said.
Bragaw will begin as East Lyme's full-time public works director on Nov. 4, said East Lyme First Selectman Paul Formica.
Bill Scheer, East Lyme's acting public works director who began the position following the passing of former director Mike Gianattassio last October, will now serve as the assistant public works director, he said.
They will handle different responsibilities and projects, according to Formica.
"We've tried to reorganize the department. We have a growing public works need," in terms of water, sewer, roads and sanitation, Formica said.
Formica added that there is a vacant position at the Field Services building, and the public works position may incorporate some of those duties.

Long-Term Review
2013 Dodge Dart: City and Highway Driving
I recently took our long-term 2013 Dodge Dart on a round-trip journey that totaled around 500 miles. Of course, the trip included a lot of highway driving, but the destination was downtown Nashville, which meant there was also some time in the city -- and in traffic.
I've written before about the Dart's highway abilities, but it bears repeating. While you might not think of a compact car as a good highway cruiser, the Dart is surprisingly good at this task. It's about more than just a smooth ride and reasonable passing power. The Dart also does a good job eliminating wind noise, and the seats are very comfortable. I never felt pain or soreness in any part of my backside.
Once again, I saw excellent fuel economy in the Dart -- between 32 and 33 miles per gallon in combined, but mostly highway, driving. We've complained a lot about gas mileage with the Dart, but most of our complaints tend to be leveled at its city driving behavior. This makes me think you have to be very light-footed around town to get the kind of mileage the Environmental Protection Agency says is possible.
When I reached Nashville and spent time with the Dart in the city, I was also impressed. The handling is carlike, and the smooth ride remains even at lower speeds. It's also nice to have a wide, clear reversing camera in the center console. The Dart's trunk lid is surprisingly high, so the camera can be very helpful for backing up in tight situations.
I admit, however, that there are circumstances where it's easy to wish the Dart had a little more power. Accelerating away from a stoplight, it often feels taxed even climbing up to a normal traffic speed. This is solved with the new 184-horsepower engine, which adds 24 horses to our 160-hp powerplant.
Overall, though, our 2013 Dodge Dart is a good compact car, both in town and on the highway. We really recommend the reversing camera and, more importantly, we suggest shoppers try out the two engines -- our 1.4-liter turbo 4-cylinder and the new 2.4-liter. Even if you're not a speed demon, you might find the 2.4-liter worth the upgrade.

Radio 1 set for Glasgow Big Weekend
Paolo Nutini and Rita Ora are to star at BBC Radio 1's annual Big Weekend event as station bosses announced it will be staged in Glasgow this year.
More than 60,000 fans will be able to attend the event in which the station will effectively decamp to the city.
The location was announced this morning (January 30) during Nick Grimshaw's breakfast show, which was broadcast from Glasgow.
The festival will be staged over the weekend of May 24-25 at Glasgow Green, with ticket details to be announced in March. There will also be an additional dance event in the city on May 23.
Further names will be announced over the coming weeks.
The BBC said the Big Weekend - now in its 11th year - was visiting the city to celebrate its position as host city for the Commonwealth Games.
Radio 1 DJ Nick said: "There is a rule that the further north you go, the more fun the gig will be, so I'm psyched to be in Scotland this year."
Rita appeared before an audience at the launch event at BBC Scotland's studio at Pacific Quay.
The singer answered questions and responded to one fan by kissing him on the cheek.
Sean Bommer, 17, said: "I think a bunch of my friends are pretty jealous."
The teenager, who helps run his school radio station, St Mungo's FM, said: "I asked her if she had any exclusive songs that we could play on our school radio.
"Then I was asked if I wanted to go up on stage for a picture."

COLUMBUS — Prices at the pump are up in Ohio to start the work week.
The cost for a gallon of regular gas in Ohio was averaging $3.56 in today's survey from auto club AAA, the Oil Price Information Service and WEX Inc. That's a nickel higher than last Monday.
Today's Ohio price is about 4 cents lower than a month ago, and just a penny lower than last year at this time.
The national average today was identical to the Ohio average at 3.56 per gallon. That's up 3 cents from last week, and 11 cents higher than a month ago.
Analysts say ongoing seasonal maintenance at refineries and concerns over simmering tensions in the Ukraine have been keeping prices up.

The operating theory, mostly because Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie has said as much, is that Andy Reid awoke Sunday morning with 10 games to save his job. It was the clearest of imperatives. After all of the years, all of the great moments, all of the disappointments, it was to be a final sprint to the finish and then a clear decision.
Now, after a particularly timid abomination -- Falcons 30, Eagles 17 -- there are more questions than answers.
Can it really be?
Nine more weeks.
Nine more weeks?
Until Sunday, the Eagles had never lost the game immediately following the bye week under Reid. Given that, and given the decision to fire defensive coordinator Juan Castillo during the break, the widespread belief was that the Eagles would come back from their short vacation refreshed and re-focused, fully realizing what is at stake. Instead, they arrived in body only. Their hearts and minds were elsewhere. They did not turn over the ball and still got their backsides handed to them.
Defensively, they lacked both cohesion and fire under new coordinator Todd Bowles. Offensively, they got it blocked a little better but still couldn't score points early, when it mattered. The special teams were the same, except for the punt return team. We don't know about them because the Falcons never punted until there was 5:35 left in the fourth quarter.
The hearts-and-minds thing is what bears the closest watching. Reid has had exactly one team quit on him in his 14 seasons -- the 2005 team, after all of the Terrell Owens stuff and after quarterback Donovan McNabb got hurt. That team just curled up in the fetal position at the end -- but it was almost understandable, given the post-Super Bowl hangover and everything that happened.
This is different.
Nine more weeks.
Nine more weeks?
The Falcons' opening drive of the game was the maiden voyage for Bowles: 16 plays and 80 yards; 8 minutes, 44 seconds of having the ball shoved down his defense's throat. The touchdown pass to Drew Davis featured a blown coverage, just the biggest hint of a permeating confusion. Along the way, a holding penalty on Jason Babin extended the drive.
The Falcons were ahead by seven before a crowd that was two-thirds full had had a chance to be chilled by Hurricane Sandy's first winds. And they booed. It would be the first time that happened but not the only time.
Did I already say that the Falcons never punted until 5:35 in the fourth quarter?
Along the way, Julio Jones scored Nnamdi Asomugha on a 63-yard touchdown pass, one in which safety Nate Allen made sure he was no possible help by taking a terrible angle on the play. Linebacker Mychael Kendricks did not start the game, reportedly as punishment for being late for a team meeting. A continuing lack of pressure on the quarterback -- despite the team's first two sacks in about a month -- just opened up the defensive for carving by Atlanta's Matt Ryan, and that is exactly what happened.
As the game ended, the wind whipped and the rain fell sideways onto nearly-emtpy stadium seats. Most everyone was rushing home to beat the storm; Andy Reid was not nearly so lucky.

Simply having HIV is an independent risk factor for lung cancer, according to a recent study from the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs.
The researchers found that having HIV increased the risk of developing lung cancer by about 71%, after controlling for potential confounders, such as age, sex, race/ethnicity, smoking prevalence, previous bacterial pneumonia and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
The investigators compared and analyzed data from the Veterans Aging Cohort Study and the Veterans Affairs Central Cancer registry. They compiled data from 32,794 HIV-infected individuals and 75,750 HIV-uninfected individuals. There were 457 new cases of lung cancer in the HIV-infected group (an incidence rate of 1.4%), compared with 614 cases in the HIV-uninfected group (an incidence rate of 0.8%).
About 98% of the study participants were men, and half the study was black. The mean age was 46 years. The percentage of current smokers between the HIV-infected group (48%) and HIV-uninfected group (46%) was similar. The percentage of participants drinking alcohol was also similar: 16% in the HIV-infected group and 15% in the HIV-uninfected group. The HIV-positive group was more likely to have hepatitis C (35% vs. 15%).
It's important to note the other risk factors for lung cancer, which included older age, being a current or former smoker, having a history of chronic obstructive lung disease and a history of bacterial pneumonia.
In addition, Aidsmap reported:
Cancer stage at the time of diagnosis was similar for the HIV-positive and HIV-negative participants. "The increased incidence of lung cancer among the HIV infected patients does not appear to be explained by more vigilant surveillance," comment the investigators.
Although they found no significant association between lung cancer risk and current CD4 cell count or viral load, the researchers note that such associations have been found in other studies. They write: "For the purposes of understanding the relationship between immunodeficiency and lung cancer risk among HIV infected patients, we plan to conduct more sophisticated analyses with time-updated modeling of CD4 cell count."
The authors believe their findings may actually under-represent both the incidence and risk of lung cancer for patients with HIV. They therefore conclude: "Additional investigations are required to understand the mechanisms by which HIV infection may increase the risk for lung cancer."
Interestingly, these results come on the heels of a Swiss study in January that found cigarette smoking to be the most important risk factor of lung cancer in people living with HIV. That study also did not find having a low CD4 count or a history of AIDS-defining lung diseases associated with lung cancer.

Home made paint with a chalky finish - what a concept! No sanding? No priming? Are you serious??? OK I'm so in!!!
I found so many recipes online that I was a little overwhelmed. I chose to use the variety with hot water, paint and Plaster of Paris because these ingredients were so easy to find. The Johnson's Paste wax for a top coat was another suggestion I took to heart. So off I went to the local hardware store to collect my supplies. Unfortunately, Johnson's isn't available in Canada so I opted for Minwax Dark Furniture Wax.
The subject? My oak armoire:
The darker colour and the blotchy, scratched up look suits me better. I am just a blotchy, scratched up kinda girl! So much happier :)
Version #3 - THE WINNER!

Table 3: Heidke Skill Score SS2 for
experimental forecasts for summer 1998, based on antecedent soil moisture conditions. Element w
stands for instantaneous soil moisture at the last day of the target month/season, while P and T
are time averages of temperature and precip over the 30/90 days. [The smaller #s in ( ) are SS2 for
official CPC forecast]
The results for Summer 1998 show that
1. Monthly forecasts for w have rather high skill (compared to say T and P, which has
SS2=6.4 and 0.4 respectively, averaged over Jan95-May97). This is generally true and is
helped greatly by the fact that soil moisture anomalies are, in general, much more
persistent than temp and precip anomalies, thus making it an easier forecast target, even
at a one, two or even four month lead.
2. Forecast skill for monthly T and especially P are high by the above-mentioned
standards ( (expected is only SS2=6.4/0.4 for T/P). The scores for P are in fact
record-like, certainly for summer, certainly for a short averaging period like a month,
and as good as they were during the El Nino winter of 97/98.
3. On the whole the scores of this tool for summer 1998 were very good. Especially the
scores on Precipitation in the summer (the most difficult target of all) SS2 ~ 9-17 are
outstanding, given scores that normally hover near zero.
4. In spite of the boasting above, the scores are only modest by absolute standards
(100 is perfect). The scores for T and P were much better than persistence, but the scores
for w did not outperform persistence of the initial state's anomaly. This is a bit
mysterious, and raises a research issue of a hybrid model, in which the physical soil
model is integrated in time to produce the w forecast with the driving P and T coming from
an empirical forecast like CAS.

Gov. John Lynch has yet to decide exactly what the future holds come January when his fourth term in office comes to an end. During a recent editorial board meeting, Lynch speculated he might teach some college courses and/or climb back into the business sector where he had once been a CEO.
Before his time is monopolized by any of this, we would like to suggest to the incoming governor, Maggie Hassan, that she consider keeping Lynch involved in state government. Specifically, we would like to see the governor as head of the state Board of Education or put in charge of an education task force. In either capacity, we see Lynch's charge as helping the state as whole bring education into the 21st century.
During last week's editorial board meeting talk turned to the failure to pass an educational funding amendment to the state constitution that would have nullified the state Supreme Court's Claremont decisions and, in turn, allow state funds to be used where most needed.
As the discussion progressed, you could see Gov. Lynch's passion for education boil to the surface. To simply say education has been a cornerstone of his administration does not do justice to his efforts.
The governor has long understood the need for an educated workforce. We saw it during his time as chairman of the University System of N.H. board of trustees before becoming governor. And it has been apparent since his first inauguration, leading up to being named earlier this fall as recipient of the first annual Walter R. Peterson Education and Public Service Award.
Lynch's tenure has been one of working with the Legislature and businesses to make sure the state's community college system is training students for the right jobs. It was a commitment he made in helping to bring Albany International to Rochester and what he predicts could eventually be 1,000 new jobs.
As the governor explains, it was the availability of the region's educated workforce which tipped the decision of Albany to come to the Seacoast.
But Lynch's commitment to education is only part of the reason we urge Hassan to make room for him in state government.
Lynch understands that educational excellence is not achieved simply by throwing around scarce tax dollars.
During the editorial board meeting, the governor dared suggest the state already spends enough money on the public school system, hamstrung by Claremont I and II.
He estimates the current price tag at $3 billion, through state and federal funding. But rather than bringing more dollars into the system, Lynch believes the state must do a better job of channeling current dollars to the appropriate places.
"There's more than enough money in the system," he said. "We don't need to add more money."
Without much prompting, the governor explained how some schools were already taking advantage of distance learning which allows college professors to teach advanced placement course to New Hampshire high school students, via the Internet. When asked about already tight budgets and the lack of up-to-date technology, he pointed out that it would be cheaper to give students iPads instead of text books — and more productive, we might add.
Clearly, too many of New Hampshire's classrooms are stuck in a mid-20th century educational mindset. The notion of sitting 20-30 students (or often more) in front of a teacher who toils daily between walls of brick and mortar wall with quickly outdated textbooks is itself outdated. So, too, is the notion of approximately 100 stand-alone SAU offices around the state with their duplicate administrative coteries.
Struggling alone, we see little hope of revamping the state's educational model in a cost-effective manner. But given some respected leadership, there could be light at the end of the tunnel.
To that end, we ask Hassan to bring Lynch on board to help lead Granite State schools into the 21st century.

Thermaltake Armor A30 Case Review
Everyone has heard that size does not matter right? Sometimes that can be true, but normally in the world of computer cases if you want all of the features then you need to opt for a full tower chassis. Well that's not the case any longer, no pun intended. We have seen a number of manufacturers packing in the features we love in full tower cases down into smaller mATX style chassis. Giving us the ability to choose where we want to house our precious components. One manufacturer that takes the case building designs to the limits is Thermaltake. They are well known for some radical designs such as the Level 10 that broke the traditional case style and then took the design even further with the revamped Level 10 GT. While those designs are well thought out for your home build they are too heavy and bulky for LAN party travel.
To give you the portability that is needed when lugging your gaming systems from LAN party to LAN party you need something smaller in size, but not in features. The Armor series from Thermaltake has been around for some years, and have notably been seen as some of the toughest and feature rich cases to build with. When they were looking to make the ultimate small form factor chassis, they built off of that design and in comes the Thermaltake Armor A30 SFF Gaming Chassis.
The Armor A30 packs a wallop in a small design. Some of the standout features include the ability to use full size graphics cards (such as the Radeon HD 6970), front panel USB 3.0, eSATA Support, Motherboard support up to mATX sizes, and more. If you wanted to see a little chassis pack a big punch, then I suggest you strap in and get ready for the feature rich ride of your life!
Closer Look:
The Thermaltake Armor A30 comes packaged in a sleek sturdy box to protect the case in transit. On the front of the packaging there is an image of the case along with the both the Armor A30 and USB 3.0 logos. On the rear of the packaging there is tear down image showing the parts of the chassis along with close-ups of some of the important features such as the removable motherboard tray, storage options, and cooling features. On the right side of the box is a list of the features that make the Armor A30 the chassis it is.
With the case out of the box you can see the amount of detail that went into the design. The chassis is made of SECC and plastic and it is a very heavy case weighing in at almost 15 pounds empty. No doubt the A30 will handle the rough and tough travel to and from your LAN parties. While considered a small form factor case, the size suggests otherwise. The A30 measures 18 inches long, 11.5 inches wide and 10.5 inches tall. It is more like a mid tower case squished into a cube. Included with the chassis is also the guide booklet and hardware.
Now that we have the Armor A30 out of the package let's start off with a look around the outside of the chassis.

Learn how California public schools are using their Lottery dollars.
See Some Cool Examples Here!
Many people ask us "Where does the money go?" Well, first of all, we should clarify that the California Lottery does not receive General Fund or taxpayer dollars. Everything we have, we raise from Lottery ticket sales. Most importantly, we're proud to say that 95% of all funds actually go right back into the community in the form of prize payments, retailer commissions and bonuses and, of course, our contributions to education.
Besides offering you entertaining games, the California Lottery's sole mandate is to raise supplemental funds for all California public schools. Since FY 2000-01, we've been lucky. We've sent more than $1 billion a year to public education. That means K-12, Community Colleges, CSU and UC campuses and several specialized schools. Don't misunderstand us, the Lottery's supplemental funding to schools will not solve education's budgetary problems. In fact, our contributions amount to less than 1.5% of public education's overall needs. It's really modest when you come down to it, but parents, teachers and administrators tell us that every little bit helps.
We've visited many schools and we've witnessed how they use their Lottery funds to create computer labs, begin essential accelerated reading programs, keep arts and music programs alive and invest in Advanced Placement classes—all to give their students, their scholars, the best chance to succeed. Below, simply type in the name of your school district to discover how much Lottery funds your children receive every year.
See our most recent quarterly reports below:

Zoe Saldana is reportedly a Mrs. — and has been for a while now!
The "Star Trek Into Darkness" actress married Italian artist Marco Perego earlier this summer, People reports.
They wed in a small ceremony with family and friends and are "very happy," a source told the mag.
PHOTOS: 'Star Trek Into Darkeness' premiere
Saldana, 35, and Perego, a painter, confirmed their relationship at the "Star Trek Into Darkness" premiere in May, where they were spotted kissing. Later that month, they were photographed getting hot and heavy while vacationing in Capri, E! reported.
Then snapshots of them wearing wedding rings emerged this month in London, which first sounded the alarm that they were already man and wife.
Apparently, Perego is Saldana's type. He goes by the nickname Pirate Perego because of his Johnny Depp-inspired demeanor. The Dominican-Puerto Rican actress fessed up that she was looking for "a badass renegade! A pirate! A pirate who can cry. Oh, my God!" when asked what she was looking for in a man. (It just so happens that she starred alongside Depp in "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" too.)
The actress was briefly linked to "Silver Linings Playbook" star Bradley Cooper, with whom she starred with in "The Words." She was also previously engaged to businessman Keith Britton, whom she was with for more than a decade.
PHOTOS: 50 most beautiful female celebrities
The secret wedding comes as a bit of a surprise, since Saldana had been sprinkling a whole bunch of shock-worthy relationship quotes in magazine interviews all year.
In April, she told Latina magazine that she didn't even need a man, but definitely wanted one.
"I don't want to need things," she said. "I need water, you know what I'm saying? I need to exercise, I need to eat. To be with a man should be a want. I don't need anybody. And the people that I do need are just family, tu entiendes? ... But a man is something that I want, I want to be with a partner, because this partner is going to add or I'm going to add to this partner."
And later in May, she was all about her androgynous upbringing and the possibility of being with a woman as Allure's cover girl. (Her rail-thin figure and 115-pound weight revelation also made for hot-button talking points.)
One day she might "end up with a woman raising my children ... that's how androgynous I am!" she said. And when asked whether she's had a relationship with a woman, the actress said, "Just put three dots as my response. That's it."
So, in keeping with the theme, we say ...

Sometimes learning involves taking risks, and Helaina Polito has discovered that some of her more memorable student experiences stem from choosing a more difficult path.
One experience that stands out for Polito, who recently received a student leadership award, was a winter break trip to Florida, where she and fellow Suffolk students had the opportunity to swim with manatees as part of the University's Journey leadership program.
"Swimming with the manatees was an absolutely incredible experience that I will never forget," says Polito.
"At first I was nervous to get into the water with the manatees, but one thing I've learned through my involvement at Suffolk is that's it's important to step out of your comfort zone. Those are the times when you learn the most about yourself and about others around you."
"A reliable leader"
Polito received the Ken M. Bedini Student Leader Award at the National Association for Campus Activities Northeast Regional Conference in Hartford, Connecticut. The University received a second award for a poster promoting campus activities.
"I was honored that my work as a leader on campus was recognized," says Polito, a senior psychology major. The award included a financial scholarship.
"Helaina has grown so much because of her involvement at Suffolk and has become such a reliable leader on campus," says Meghan Kenney, associate director of Student Leadership & Involvement. "She is a role model to other students and most deserving of this award."
Creating campus opportunities
Polito has active not only in the four-year, comprehensive Journey program, but also as president of the Program Council, which sponsors more than 40 educational, cultural and social events on campus each year.
She also has an internship at the Judge Baker Children's Center in Boston, the oldest child mental health organization in New England.
In encouraging students to get involved on campus, Polito says: "It's a great way to meet new people and enjoy fun experiences. You can also gain leadership skills that we all need after we graduate and begin our careers."
Polito plans to attend graduate school with aim of becoming a school psychologist at the elementary level.
"I want to work with children and make a difference in their lives," she says.
"Best Poster" award
The National Association for Campus Activities also recognized the Program Council with a "Best Poster" award at the conference. The winning poster used a Boston MBTA theme in suggesting that students should take some time and make a short trip to attend fun campus events.
The National Association for Campus Activities Student Leader Awards were established to recognize the outstanding contributions of undergraduate student leaders who make a difference in their institutions.

Animal Species:Little Red Flying-fox
Little Red Flying-foxes are important pollinators of tree species and fly further into inland Australia than other bat species, following the flowering of eucalypts.
Standard Common Name
Little Red Flying-fox
Little Red Flying-foxes roost on the branches of trees. They roost in groups, called camps, of up to many thousands of bats. They often share camps with other flying fox species.
Feeding and Diet
Little Red Flying-foxes appear to favour the nectar and pollen of eucalypt blossom over other foods that make up their diet, such as other flowers and fruit. Orchards are raided sometimes when other food is limited.
Conservation Status
Little Red Flying-foxes are vulnerable to loss of feeding areas from forestry operations, clearing of native vegetation and land degradation from agriculture.

- What I Love About My Small Home:
- My little apartment is level with the tops of the trees growing in the courtyard below, making it feel like a grown-up treehouse where my inner child can play and my inner adult can relax. My inner child loves the gnome collection, cotton-candy pink coffee table and "pretty pretty princess" French provincial furniture; my inner adult loves the all-day sunshine from the big south-facing windows, having separate areas for work, play, food and rest, and coming home to a space that is mine and mine alone.
- Biggest Challenge of Living in a Small Space:
- I love throwing dinner parties, and I thought I'd have to give it up when I moved here. The kitchen was so tiny I had to replace the full-sized fridge with a mini to create counter space and avoid total claustrophobia, and as much as I rearranged furniture, I couldn't find the space for a dining table and chairs.
I figured nobody would want to come to a dinner party where they had to squat around a coffee table and climb over each other to get to the bathroom - until I started talking about it with friends and realized I wasn't alone.
So, I got five small-apartment-dwelling friends together and started the Studio Supper Club. Every other Wednesday, one of us opens up her apartment and prepares a 3-course meal, and the rest show up with appetites and wine. It not only gives me the opportunity to entertain at home without feeling guilty about the space constraints, but to see how my friends have taken their small, cool spaces and made them their own.

Many people begin by self-treating their allergies with over-the-counter (OTC) drugs. But if your allergy symptoms don't improve, or you have unpleasant side effects from OTC medicines, you may need to see a health care provider.
Your primary care doctor can prescribe an allergy drug for you. Some prescription medicines have fewer side effects than some OTC drugs. (Read more about OTC versus prescription drugs in step 10.)
For many people, their allergies are bad enough that they wonder if they should see an allergist. You may even wonder what an allergist does. An allergist diagnoses, treats, and manages allergy-related conditions, like allergic rhinitis and asthma. Becoming an allergist or immunologist requires 4 years of medical school and 3 years of residency training in either internal medicine or pediatrics (or both). Those who are ABAI-certified passed the American Board of Allergy and Immunology's certification examination.
You should see an allergist if you have any of the following:
Through testing, an allergist can identify the allergens that cause your symptoms. Your allergist can also help manage medication side effects, and offer advice on immunotherapy (allergy shots) options.
If you suspect you are allergic to something and you've never been diagnosed, ask your primary care physician to refer you to an allergist, and find out if you have insurance coverage before making an appointment.

If this becomes the turning point of the season, the Ravens will only have to remember last night's emotional swing, as safety Ed Reed raced from one end zone to the other.
Relying on a signature defensive stand, the black-clad Ravens delivered a 27-13 win over the Cleveland Browns before a national television audience and 69,781 at M&T Bank Stadium last night.
After a potential game-tying touchdown pass bounced off the hands of Browns tight end Aaron Shea, Reed caught it off his shoetops and ran it back an NFL-record 106 yards to seal the victory.
The sixth...

Connor McDermott is itching to hit the field.
UCLA's redshirt sophomore tackle had already lost part of his high school career at Nashville's Enworth School to a left shoulder surgery. Then, on Oct. 19 at Stanford, McDermott entered the eventual 24-10 loss in injury relief for Simon Goines. He lasted a handful of plays before again separating the shoulder.
"It was exciting to finally get in the game," he said. "It was a good and bad birthday present. That was my 21st birthday. I tried not to let it get me down. I've been through all the rehab before, so it was no surprise to me.
"I knew (offensive line coach Adrian) Klemm would give me a shot in the fall. That was my goal."
He looks the part. McDermott now stands at 6-foot-9, and around 300 pounds ‑ 50 more than when he arrived at UCLA. He's been working back slowly, but has taken first-string snaps during the Bruins' training camp at Cal State San Bernardino.
McDermott isn't the only one who's been in and out of the lineup, with injuries leaving the offensive line particularly vulnerable.
Starting tackle Caleb Benenoch spent part of Friday riding a stationary bike. Starting enter Jake Brendel injured his MCL, though he was nearly walking without a limp on Friday. Backup center Scott Quessenberry, who started games at guard last season, is out with a concussion, and fellow reserve Carl Hulick is also sidelined.
That's shoved sophomore Alex Redmond, a returning starter at guard, into the middle. Redmond returned from his own heat exhaustion symptoms to find himself in an unfamiliar position ‑ though one that could further develop his game.
"I think he's only had one bad snap," head coach Jim Mora said. "It really forced him out of his comfort zone and forced him to learn calls, and I think it'll end up helping him."
Position battle
UCLA brought in punter Matt Mengel from Long Beach City College to potentially replace all-conference honorable mention Sean Covington, but the newcomer hasn't locked down a starting job just yet.
Instead, redshirt freshman Adam Searl may have inched ahead. The 6-foot, 180-pound Irvine native has seen his workload increase this week, and was used on all the practice punts Friday morning.
"Adam is a guy that's very, very improved," said Mora. "He looks like a guy that can actually get it done. Last year, He was inconsistent. His leg wasn't great. But he's had a really good offseason, he works hard, and I trust him."
Sean Flintoft, a walk-on from Loyola High, is also available as both a punter and a kicker.
"It was a real unknown," Mora said of the punters. "I was very concerned coming into camp, but watching them here for the last week and a half, I feel like we're going to be in good shape there."
Lucien nears return
After a brief visit to the hospital on Tuesday night, UCLA receiver Devin Lucien passed his concussion tests on Friday and could return to practice on Monday ‑ albeit in a red non-contact jersey. The redshirt junior had looked like arguably the team's best receiver through camp before hitting his head, matching up with top cornerback Fabian Moreau on most plays.
Linebacker Zach Whitley, who has missed most of training camp in San Bernardino with a head injury, returned to practice Thursday for some sideline work. Mora said the true freshman could potentially be back for tonight's practice, or at least by Monday.
Receiver Mossi Johnson practiced without a red non-contact jersey this morning, while safety Randall Goforth put one on. Both are dealing with shoulder injuries.

Take Cover! JLo's In Heat Again!
Lock your windows, bring in your trash cans, turn the porch light off and tell the children not to open their eyes until morning, because now that JLo has been released from the cage in Skeletor's dungeon she's going wild, yowling at the moon, spraying her scent at the walls (smells like Glow) and sticking her culito hole in the faces of strangers hoping that someone takes pity upon her and gives her a scratch!
At the iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas on Saturday night, JLo strangled a Muppet with her ass cheeks and then wore it as a trophy before she went full horny in front of the audience and humped on anything that didn't run from her. An official from the zoo arrived on the scene and tried to catch her with a net, but JLo can not and will not be tamed! JLo ran like a banshee with a hot asshole into Pure nightclub and continued to try so hard to be sexy that she pushed out a kidney stone with the word "STOP" etched into it. Don't listen to that kidney stone, JHo! You keep working it like only an old whore can!
And here's some EXCLUSIVO backstage and frontstage footage of JLo going wild on Saturday night:

Hatchet 2 (UK - BD RB)
Marcus watches another horror sequel that feels like every other horror sequel...
Kicking off where the first movie ended (so I'm told – I've never actually seen the first Hatchet), Marybeth Dunston (Danielle Harris) manages to escape from Victor Crowley (Kane Hodder). She later meets up with Reverend Zombie (Tony Todd) and gets the full back story to Crowley and decides she wants to go back to the swamp to get her father and brother's bodies and along the way get some revenge on their killer.
Hatchet 2 is one of those 'wants to be fun' slashers. Within the first twelve minutes we've had some hokum back story, a man strangled and beheaded with his own intestines, one topless girl, one fully naked girl, a close up of a drunk puking on a street corner and Tony Todd entering as the colourful Reverend Zombie. That's the first twelve minutes, including the metal fuelled credits. There's no room for subtlety here. Oh and good acting, there's not a lot of room for that either.
The all new group of cannon fodder that goes into the swamps this time are a mish mash of clichés. The hillbilly, the badass hunter, the smart mouthed black guy and the list goes on. Not one of these characters are anything more than a cardboard cut out of horror bait and everything becomes a countdown to who's gonna die first and how (just so we don't have to hear the dialogue anymore really).
Hatchett II felt like a bad sequel even though I didn't have the first one to tally it up against. It feels like it's out to have a laugh as opposed to scaring its audience (see the ridiculous sex scene and it's ongoing gags for all the proof you need of that) and with nothing new to offer up this sequel just ends up being another one of those horrors that I feel like I've seen like a hundred times before and frankly it's really beginning to bore me.
The visuals here are stylistically gritty with a constant layer of grain to cover the pretty dull lighting. The colourisation of the film gives skin tones a paler look and the same goes for most of the colours on show as well. Blood can look deep red sometimes but others closer to pink and man does it look watery a lot of the time. The image is nice and sharp and offers up a good level of detail and in the brighter scenes looks grain free and strikingly clean especially in the outdoor swamp scenes. The darker night scenes have plenty of deep blacks but feel a little shy of pure black and give the image a hazy look from time to time. Generally it's a good transfer but it's nothing to get excited about.
The DTS-HD Master Audio track is all about aggression. Short sharp bursts of loud jump inducing score to make this not-so-scary movie feel scary, loud screams, stupidly over the top sound effects for ripping flesh and blood sprays as well as a constant underlying bass to try and generate a sense of unease. The generic sounding score when it's not going for the scares is really dull but it's well placed in the mix and while a large chunk of the audio lives in the front speakers there's always some element living in the rears. Chirping swamp sounds, moving foliage and birds fill the room and with the bassy atmospheric score holding it altogether the tracks a strong one even if it is boringly typical for the genre.
The first commentary with director Adam Green, cinematographer Will Barrat and makeup supervisor Robert Pendergraft is technical as you'd expect from these participants but the group are a fun combination. There's lot of talk about how shots were achieved and everything is delivered with a sense of humour that they obviously all share. It's a good track with a lot of detail.
The second track from Adam Green and actors Kane Hodder and Tony Todd is also a nice companion piece to the movie. It's a slightly lighter affair with a lot of stories about the shoot and the characters but still offers up a lot about the sequel and the group that made it.
'Behind the Screams' (33:40 HD) really did highlight the 'friends having a laugh' approach to making a horror but everyone feels likable enough and the making of gives us a look at the design of the kills, the visual style and plenty of behind the scenes footage. Despite my indifference towards the film this is a good look at the making of it and offers up plenty of enjoyable insights.
'First Look' (08:16 HD) is a shorter sharper version of the making of and serves as a preview for the movie itself. 'Meet the FX Team' (06:15 HD) is - as is usually the case with horror extras - showing us how they did the gory stuff. Sadly most of it is footage from the film with the FX guys telling us how they did it as opposed to showing us but it was fun none the less.
Last up is the TV spot (00:34 HD), the teaser (01:15 HD) and the trailer (01:57 HD).
Hatchet 2 was throw away horror sequel typicalness. I'm sure if there are any fans of the series they'll have some fun with it but for me the only interest I had was as a bit of pre-awareness for the upcoming Hack/Slash comic cross over which I'll be reading (Cassie Hack and Vlad shouldn't have any problems with this one I'd imagine). The Blu-ray itself has some good features including a couple of fun commentary tracks and the A/V is solid despite feeling a bit bland.

I've been trying to determine what new cell phone I want to get since my current personal one is pretty old. One of the most important features that I am considering is its size. I want to get a smartphone, but most are quite bulky. I've been using this site to compare sizes between the phones that I am interested in. The top contender right now is the Blackberry Pearl.
You just need to know the dimensions of the product to be able to use the tool.

OCLC Shared Print Management Program to help libraries collaborate and manage collections using WorldCat
DUBLIN, Ohio, 22 January 2013—The new OCLC Shared Print Management Program is designed to help libraries register shared print collections holdings in WorldCat so that they can collaborate closely to more efficiently manage and share these collections.
A growing number of regional efforts are under way to consolidate and preserve print collections among multiple libraries in response to the widespread availability of digital resources and increasing pressure for space in campus library buildings.
"OCLC member libraries have expressed a great deal of interest in reducing their physical footprints through collaboration," said Chip Nilges, OCLC Vice President, Business Development. "We think that collaboration extends to a network of partners, ranging from national organizations such as the Center for Research Libraries (CRL) and HathiTrust, to regional consortia and companies like Sustainable Collection Services (SCS) that offer supporting services. Our approach to shared print is collaborative, and is intended to complement and integrate with a wide range of service providers."
OCLC's Shared Print Management Program grows out of the OCLC Print Archives Disclosure Pilot Project, which concluded in March 2012. Participants in the project, including several major U.S. research libraries, developed Print Archives Metadata Guidelines to provide libraries with a standards-based approach to registering and sharing print preservation commitments. Over the course of the pilot, participants tested the implementation of these guidelines by registering print archiving commitments in WorldCat and documenting their impact on local cataloging and resource sharing workflows. To date, several thousand print archiving commitments have been registered in WorldCat.
OCLC Research has been exploring the evolution of library operations associated with the ongoing shift from locally owned print inventory to jointly managed print and digital collections.
"The burgeoning interest in shared print management among members of the OCLC cooperative reflects a growing awareness that long-term preservation of the published record can be organized as a collective effort, enabling individual libraries to redeploy local resources in support of evolving institutional priorities," said Constance Malpas, Program Officer, OCLC Research, who has done extensive research into shared print collaboration.
Shared print consultant Lizanne Payne, who serves as Project Manager for the Western Regional Storage Trust (WEST) and Planning Consultant for the Research Collections and Preservation Consortium (ReCAP), has assisted OCLC to understand the needs of libraries and consortia that are establishing shared print agreements.
"Shared collections are actually happening now, and will change the way libraries describe and provide access to holdings," Payne said. "I believe libraries will welcome OCLC's active engagement in this increasingly important model for library collections."
"OCLC is eager to help libraries and consortia as they establish the processes necessary to report shared print holdings to WorldCat," said Bill Carney, OCLC Content Manager, who is serving as Shared Print Community Liaison to assist libraries in shared print programs. "We will work with libraries to investigate additional requirements and services to support cooperative management of print collections."
Libraries and groups interested in registering their shared print collections in WorldCat can begin by contacting Bill Carney, OCLC's Shared Print Community Liaison, at firstname.lastname@example.com.
