Jasonbosarge needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 14 designs submitted by 5 freelance designers.
Pagefarm.com - Build and Grow Your Website
Pagefarm is an outgrowth of our company and service located at Presspublisher.com. Press Publisher is a simple yet powerful content management system (CMS) uniquely designed to manage an online magazine, e-zine, newsletter, journal or other periodical with NO technical experience. We host thousands of publications and generate millions of page views monthly.
We have recently extended the Press Publisher feature set to do general Websites rather than just focus on publications. This means that users can now create cool Websites utilizing our custom feature-rich CMS.
The new brand for creating Websites online is called "Pagefarm" and will be hosted at pagefarm.com.
Pagefarm is meant to be a good mix of "down on the farm" goodness and high technology.
Anyone that needs a high quality Website without the need to pay for an expensive designer or developer. This could be individuals or businesses. Since this is a paid service it will be mostly business - maybe an 80/20 mix with 80% being business and 20% being individuals looking for a great personal Website.
** Please see the updated centerpiece image just uploaded. The updated mock-up pulls the 3 panels up into the center piece as well as adds more items on the left side. Please use this as your guide instead of the older one. So you would use the file: centerpiece_updated.png for the center area.**
We have included a Photoshop mock-up of the style and layout we would like for you to use as a guide however you have full creativity within the layout elements.
The width of the design should not exceed the width of the main content section of the mock-up.
Also the overall size of the main content area (the watch a video and get started area) should stay the same size and shape as in the mock-up.
The mock-up consists of a header, main content section and a footer.
Header: The header in the mock-up is content complete. All elements required are shown.
In the main content section we have two "Calls to Action"
1. Watch a Video
2 Sign Up (for free)
Those two items are the main reason for the page. We want to drive all of our traffic to take those two actions preferably in that order.
Color: Heavy on the blue. From the mock-up you will see a blue sky gradient fading down into the footer. We very much prefer the gradient but are open to other options.
1. We need a main page that is based off the mock-up image to be used as a guide.
2. We need a pricing page for our packages. Due to our large feature set, rather than a standard pricing table we want a separate pricing page for each package with navigation at the top for the other packages - you only need to create a single page for this.
One thing to note: we have two prices per package. One is a license/setup fee and then a recurring monthly fee. And then we list the features.
We have included a Signup mock-up page as well. This will give a general idea of what we're looking for with nav for each package at the top.
The feature list for one of the packages is uploaded as well as a .txt file.
3. A generic content page that we'll use for everything else.
Pagefarm does not have an existing Website.
The Pagefarm mock-up was inspired by fatcow.com, please take the time to look at fatcow to view the level of detail especially in their main content area. You will notice that they have nice borders, stylish backgrounds, sunbursts, farmland scenes but all fairly subtle. Getting the main content area right is the key to winning this contest.
Thanks in advance to everyone willing to work on the Pagefarm project. We look forward to seeing your work. Regards, Jason

Preschool Proposal Faces Uncertain Future
Obama Wants a Place for 'Every Child in America,' but Republicans in Congress Question Existing Programs' Effectiveness
President Barack Obama's proposal to significantly expand preschool programs could run into roadblocks as Republican lawmakers and others question the effectiveness of existing early-learning programs.
Mr. Obama called during Tuesday's State of the Union address for preschool for "every child in America." He offered few details other than to say he wants to work with states and Congress to develop a plan that targets low- and moderate-income 4-year-olds, while also expanding programs to reach hundreds of thousands...

The Associated Press
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — It took winning a national title for Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim to get over a late-shot loss to Indiana the last time the schools faced off in the NCAA tournament.
This meeting, 26 years later, was never close enough to come down to the final seconds, thanks mostly to Boeheim's trademark 2-3 zone defense. Now he has the Orange one victory from getting back to the Final Four.
Limiting Indiana to its lowest output of the season while forcing 19 turnovers and compiling 10 blocks, fourth-seeded Syracuse used Michael Carter-Williams' 24 points to upset the No. 1 seed Hoosiers 61-50 Thursday night to reach the East Regional final.
Syracuse (29-9) will face No. 3 seed Marquette on Saturday night in an all-Big East matchup for a berth in the Final Four. Boeheim and the Orange haven't been to the national semifinals since Carmelo Anthony led them to the 2003 title.
Syracuse, which is leaving for the Atlantic Coast Conference this summer, lost at Marquette 74-71 during the Big East regular season on Feb. 25.
Less than a half-minute into Thursday's game, as Indiana star Victor Oladipo headed to the free-throw line, the arena's overhead scoreboard showed a replay of "The Shot," as it's come to be known — Keith Smart's baseline jumper in the final seconds that lifted Bob Knight's Hoosiers past Boeheim's Orange in the 1987 national title game.
Boeheim said he wasn't able to put that behind him until 16 years later, when he got his title. Boeheim entered Thursday with 50 wins in the tournament, fourth-most in history, and more than 900 victories overall, and so much of that success has been built thanks to his unusual zone defense, 40 minutes of a puzzle for opponents to try and solve.
Indiana, like most teams outside the Big East, isn't used to seeing that sort of thing, and it showed right from the outset.

TUSCALOOSA, AL (RNN) - An especially violent spring storm tore through the state of Alabama on Wednesday, tearing a path of destruction across the state and killing at least 128 people.
In Tuscaloosa, a mile-wide tornado killed 15 people and injured hundreds, tossing boats from a store into an apartment complex, ripping holes in rooftops, and destroying a swath of retail establishments along a busy street.
Hundreds of buildings and homes were leveled by the tornado, and Wednesday night there were fears more victims could be buried beneath the rubble.
Tuscaloosa Mayor Walter Maddox says he expects the numbers of casualties to rise. Maddox planned to meet with members of the City Council to pass emergency powers, including a curfew, if necessary.
In a news conference, Maddox said the recovery of the city would be seen in the spirit of the people.
"Throughout Tuscaloosa, citizens are reaching out to each other and demonstrating that our faith will overcome all, even in this dark hour," he said.
The tornado barely missed the campus of the University of Alabama, although several off-campus housing complexes were damaged or destroyed.
Michael Neese, 21, a junior at the university, was in his apartment off 15th Street when the tornado passed by.
"It was like a white cloud just twirling in the parking lot next door to me," he said. "It tore Tuscaloosa up. All of 15th Street is gone."
Classes were canceled at the university, located near the heart of Tuscaloosa. The university student newspaper, The Crimson White, reported power outages across campus. The university designated a student recreation center as a shelter for displaced students.
At nearby Druid City Hospital, windows were blown out of several patient rooms and a waiting area, although the hospital is still able to treat patients.
"It was kind of a glancing blow," said Brad Fischer, communications director at DCH. "We're on emergency power. It took the main line that comes from the grid into the hospital, so we will be on emergency power for awhile."
Fischer said the hospital was starting to receive the injured, but he couldn't comment on the extent of the injuries yet.
In Birmingham, the tornado cut a terrifying figure along the city's downtown skyline.
The concourse at Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport was evacuated as the severe weather moved east. Passengers were moved to a lower level of the airport and rescreened after the storm cleared.
Several people had to be rescued when an apartment roof collapsed in north Birmingham.
In all, 11 people died in Jefferson County and officials expect that number to rise.
Mark Kelly with the Jefferson County EMA says he expects the clean up effort to be a "multi-day recovery operation."
At least two others were killed in St. Clair County, east of Birmingham. The tornado touched down about 5:15 p.m.
Earlier in the day, three funnel clouds on the ground simultaneously twisted through Cullman County. One person was killed when a tree fell on a car, killing the passenger.
About a half-million people were without electricity statewide early Thursday, according to Alabama Power.
President Barack Obama has declared a state of emergency in Alabama, clearing the way for FEMA assistance to help with the recovery efforts.
Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley has mobilized approximately 1,400 Alabama National Guardsmen to provide emergency assistance to the Alabama counties impacted by the severe weather outbreak.
The troops will help with search and rescue, debris removal and provide security assistance to local police.

TUCSON, Ariz. – The New England Revolution today acquired forward Teal Bunbury (Twitter: @Tealbunb) from Sporting Kansas City via trade. In exchange, the Revs have sent their natural first-round draft pick in the 2015 MLS SuperDraft and allocation money to Sporting KC. Bunbury is expected to join the Revolution in Tucson later this week.
Bunbury, 23, is entering his fifth MLS season after Sporting KC drafted him fourth overall in the 2010 MLS SuperDraft. In 89 career appearances in Kansas City, Bunbury made 48 starts while scoring 19 goals and adding seven assists.
"We've been very open about our desire to add some additional attacking players to our roster ahead of the season and we believe Teal is a player who can make the sort of impact we need," New England general manager Michael Burns said. "He's a talented, young player who can add a dynamic element to our system, and we're looking forward to getting him into camp and integrated into our group as soon as possible."
Following a five-goal, two-assist rookie campaign in 2010, Bunbury scored a career-high nine goals and added a career-best three assists in 2011 while tying for the team lead in goals.
After his breakout sophomore campaign, Bunbury saw limited MLS action in 2012 and 2013 because of international call-ups and injury. He spent much of the early spring 2012 with the U.S. Under-23 (Olympic) team ahead of and during Olympic qualifying, and then suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in Sporting KC's game on Aug. 26, 2012. He later returned to the field on June 12, 2013 in a U.S. Open Cup match, 10 months after the injury. Before tearing his ACL in a match against New York, Bunbury made 22 appearances, scored five goals and added one assist in 2012. After returning from the injury, he collected one assist in 12 appearances last year.
With Sporting KC, Bunbury won the 2012 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup and MLS Cup 2013.
Born in Canada, Bunbury is a dual U.S. and Canadian citizen. He played on Canada's Under-17 and Under-20 teams before declaring for the United States' senior national team. He has four caps for the U.S., making his full international debut against South Africa on Nov. 17, 2010 under former head coach Bob Bradley. He later scored his first senior international goal on Jan. 22, 2011, notching the Americans' only goal in a 1-1 draw against Chile. His first international assist came in his last appearance on Jan. 25, 2012, against Panama. Bunbury also saw time with the U.S. Under-23 (Olympic) team during qualifying for the 2012 Olympic Games.
Under current U.S. National Team head coach Jurgen Klinsmann, Bunbury has been called into three training camps: September 2011, October 2011 and January 2012.
Bunbury played two seasons at college powerhouse Akron, helping the Zips to the 2009 College Cup championship match and winning the Hermann Trophy as the nation's top collegiate player that same year. In 48 appearances spanning two seasons at Akron, Bunbury scored 23 goals and added eight assists, including a 17-goal campaign in 2009.
One of Major League Soccer's first-ever second-generation players, Bunbury's father – Alex – is a former member of the Canadian National Team (1986-1997) and the Kansas City Wizards (1999-2000, now Sporting KC).
I am very excited and couldn't be happier to be joining @NERevolution! So thankful for this opportunity. Ready to make an impact. #NERevs

Ceiling Light Fixture Falls on South Dakota Wrestler During High School Match [VIDEO]
It was a very scary moment Friday night in Madison as the Bulldogs wrestled in their Madison Square Garden event at the Madison Middle school.
During the 160 pound match, Madison senior Michael McComish was hit on the head by a falling light. McComish did need 15-20 stiches in his head but escaped serious injury. After going to the hospital he tweeted this picture:

The ecological thought, part first
Submitted by TimothyMorton on
Hi again—back from my Q&A at the ASLE conference in Edinburgh. That was quick wasn't it?! Thanks to videoconferencing I didn't have to move an inch. I made a dvd of my keynote (in front of a "live audience" as they say in sitcoms), then did the Q&A via the cheap new Polycom software on the PC. Less carbon, less bankruptcy, more bang for my buck—effectively I gave the talk twice and received two lots of feedback.
Thanks so much to Greg Garrard, Tom Bristow, Margaret Ferguson, Terry Gifford, and the tech teams (Alastair Taylor, Mike Luthi and Bill Sykes) for making this work.
Okay—ready for some close reading? Here we go:
The ice was here, the ice was there,
The ice was all around:
It cracked and growled, and roared and howled,
Like noises in a swound!
At length did cross an Albatross,
Thorough the fog it came;
As if it had been a Christian soul,
We hailed it in God's name.
It ate the food it ne'er had eat,
And round and round it flew.
The ice did split with a thunder-fit;
The helmsman steered us through!
And a good south wind sprung up behind;
The Albatross did follow,
And every day, for food or play,
Came to the mariner's hollo!
In mist or cloud, on mast or shroud,
It perched for vespers nine;
Whiles all the night, through fog-smoke bright,
Glimmered the white moon-shine.
"God save thee, ancient Mariner!
From the fiends, that plague thee thus!—
Why look'st thou so?"—With my cross-bow
I shot the Albatross.
(Samuel Taylor Coleridge, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, 1.59–82)
"Like noises in a swound"! When I was at high school I wasn't sure what this meant, so my friend James (who ended up teaching at McGill) and I decided arbitrarily that for "swound" we would read "underground parking lot." Another case of urbanature?! In any case, the atmosphere is wonderfully evoked by the "here...there...all around" trope. This is a place of sheer existence, of what Emmanuel Lévinas would have called the "rustling of the there is." What a world. It reminds me of this one. Today in Davis, CA, we are wearing surgical masks to screen ourselves from the smoke from the pervasive fires ("the smoke is here, the smoke is there..."). Global warming is like this, isn't it? You can't have that neutral, easy conversation about the weather any more—it either trails off into silence, or becomes threateningly poised over the word "global warming," and as soon as someone mentions that, the conversation is pretty much over. There is no weather any more. There is climate—as Ashton Nichols pointed out, we now have the computing power to map this global phenomenon (you need terabytes of RAM to do it, I gather). But no weather. Coleridge seems to anticipate this by putting his Mariner in the extreme ambience of ice. See Eric Wilson's very interesting book about ice called The Spiritual History of Ice: Romanticism, Science, and the Imagination.
Okay, I'm out. More soon!

Car News
Scion iQ Buyers to Receive Video Game Console
- Scion is offering a hand-held PlayStation Vita to new iQ buyers
- The promotion runs from May 1 to July 31
- The iQ went on sale in April and recorded nearly 1,000 sales
The "world's smallest four seater" is now arriving at Scion dealers nationwide - and for a limited time, car shoppers who buy one will get more than just a diminutive new hatchback. The automaker says that buyers of the new 2012 Scion iQ will receive a portable PlayStation Vita when they purchase the city car from now until the end of July.
According to Scion, the program will help iQ owners enjoy their new cars even when they're not in the driver's seat. That's because the hatchback is a playable vehicle in PlayStation Vita's "MotorStorm: RC," a video game that features drivable remote controlled cars. New iQ owners who purchase the game will be able to drive the iQ and several other vehicles using the Vita, which is a handheld video game console equipped with a five-inch touch screen, dual analog sticks, two cameras and a built-in microphone.
The promotion also ties in with the iQ's predicted demographic, which Scion labels a "new trendsetting generation of urban drivers." Like PlayStation Vita buyers, iQ owners are expected to be largely young and technologically adept, with a specific focus on uniqueness and functionality. The hatchback further aligns with the Vita thanks to an impressive array of functionality - including four usable seats - stuffed into a small package.
"Scion is very proud of the iQ's intelligent and functional design," said Scion vice president Jack Hollis. "Similar to the PS Vita, the Scion iQ comes loaded with premium technological features, has a focus on functionality, is concentrated into a suitably small package and most importantly is tons of fun."
Although the PlayStation Vita promotion began on May 1, the iQ went on sale in January and already recorded more than almost 3,500 sales this year - nearly 400 more than its main rival, the two-seater Smart ForTwo. In addition to a 90-horsepower 1.3-liter four-cylinder engine capable of up to 37 miles per gallon in highway driving, the iQ's list of standard equipment includes a continuously-variable automatic transmission, 11 airbags, remote keyless entry, air conditioning and an auxiliary connection for MP3 players - all for around $16,000 including destination.
What it means to you: If you were already considering an iQ, Scion is hoping the promise of a free PlayStation Vita may be enough to seal the deal.

AlienWare (so Dell) has just unveiled a gaming PC running Ubuntu and Steam, designed to be hooked up to a TV - essentially a Steambox. "With over 25 gaming titles available and more being added, users can access Steam For Linux to play online games, including your favorite titles like Team Fortress 2 and Serious Sam 3." Everything starts out small, but with Valve going full throttle with this, expect this library to grow.

Google is planning to buy Motorola for $12.5 billion and not everybody is happy about it. Nokia CEO Stephen Elop, who signed a major partnership deal with Microsoft earlier this year, has spoken out against the Google acquisition. His fears are exactly the same fears Windows Phone partners would have had when Nokia and Microsoft entered into their multi-billion dollar arrangement, which gives Nokia certain abilities and access that other Windows Phone manufacturers will not have.
"If I happened to be someone who was an Android manufacturer or an operator, or anyone with a stake in that environment, I would be picking up my phone and calling certain executives at Google and say, 'I see signs of danger ahead.' The very first reaction I had was very clearly the importance of the third ecosystem and the importance of the partnership that we announced on February 11, it is more clear than ever," said Elop while speaking at a seminar in Helinski (quote via Phandroid).
In our opinion, this is pretty much a case of the pot calling the kettle black. We don't know how Google will manage Motorola, but the company says it mainly purchased the company for its patents and plans to run Motorola somewhat separately from the rest of the company. While we don't know if Google will actually do that, it would make no sense for the company to abandon Android as an open platform when that is the main reason that it has become so popular in the first place. This situation is very similar to the criticism Microsoft faced when it inked a major, near exclusive, partnership with Nokia. The only major difference is that Android is the dominant platform in the smartphone market and Windows Phone is a distant fourth.
In any case, we look forward to Nokia and Microsoft's upcoming Windows Phone 7.5 (Mango) announcements soon. We're quite excited to see what the companies have cooked up.

Benefits to Students
Can you do it? Cooperative/Internship education isn't for every student.
You must:
- have the grades -- having the grades demonstrates your academic strengths and your ability to balance priorities while handling a workload;
- be able to focus on a goal, even if it seems over the horizon. In
the CEIP, you'll balance two goals:
- your academic challenges, and
- your professional assignments;
- be mature and dedicated enough to recognize the value of spending five years either in school or working as a scientist or engineer, alongside professionals in the real world on challenging design projects.
If you can do it, consider these benefits:
- You'll earn a professional salary, which can pay some of your college expenses.
- During your five years, you'll gain at least a year's professional experience, which goes directly on your resume. Because you enter the job market a year later than a four-year classmate, you'll have more experience and more relevant accomplishments "in the bag!" Employers will notice.
- Your starting salary will likely be higher than your four-year classmates' salaries, even after they've worked a year. Why? Because, having chosen a tough track, you've demonstrated commitment and maturity to your employer. They view maturity and professionalism as more important than strict technical training!
- You have shown your employer that you can work in technical teams outside the classroom.
- As a Co-op/Internship employee you will be a "known quantity" to the employer. Upon graduation, you could continue as a genuine, full-time, professional with the same employer.
- Many Co-op/Internship employers start employee benefits, such as pension contributions and tuition programs with their Co-op/Internship students.
- Nothing — not even the best engineering, research or product lab ever invented — can equal the perspective offered by professional, real-life technical experience.
These are only a few of the advantages of Cooperative/Internship Education. Why not give the CEIP serious consideration? Contact us today or Email us at firstname.lastname@example.com!

The 28-year-old reality star the did some shopping at Intermix where she purchased jewelry and clothes. Kim walked and talked with model and friend, Chanel Iman.
UPDATE: Kim is so clever. "It's a wig!," Kim writes, "Did I have you fooled? I did a fabulous photo shoot this weekend and they put this hair piece on! I haven't taken it off since, because I'm really loving the look. I've been wearing it around New York and everyone thought it was my real hair! It's making me want to dye my hair and maybe go lighter for the summer. What do you think? Should I dye it for real?"

Barony of Flaming Gryphon members to wear subdued livery!
Yes, they really are. The subdued livery represents military camouflage since the barony's charitable efforts this year are for the Wounded Warrior Project
The Wounded Warrior Project (website: www.woundedwarriorproject.org) is a national organization whose vision is "to foster the most successful, well-adjusted generation of wounded service members in our nation's history." Their purpose is three-fold: to raise awareness and enlist the public's aid for the needs of injured service members,to help injured service members aid and assist each other and to provide unique, direct programs and services to meet the needs of injured service members.
On Monday Flaming Gryphon fighters will wear subdued livery while participating in the Armored Town Battle which begins at 1 pm on the main battlefield. They will be accepting donations at that time.
On Wednesday, beginning at 10 AM, small groups from the Barony will be going from camp to camp asking for donations. They will also be asking for donations in the central, public areas of the War, and someone will be "at home" if you would rather leave your donation at their camp, which is located in W07 at the foot of Runestone Hill.
Last year just under $3,000 was collected for fighting breast cancer during a similar campaign which involved members of the Barony wearing pink and their fighters wearing pink tabards while taking part in one day's war point battle. They hope to do even better this year.
The Wounded Warrior Project was selected as this year's charitable effort because there are some members of the Barony directly involved with the Project. The Barony did some research and found that 82 cents of every dollar raised goes directly to the people the charity was formed to help.
Questions about the collection can be directed to Baron Dafydd Blaidd at the baronial camp.

There are two great saints who stand, as Father Hans Urs von Balthasar described it, on either side of the gate into Advent. As we enter this season, John the Baptist and the Blessed Virgin Mary "ask us why and with what intentions we are seeking admission." It so happens that this Sunday of Advent falls on what is normally the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception, which has been transferred to Dec. 9. In successive days, we are able to more deeply consider these two members of the family of Jesus, who are related by blood, but are also joined to the Savior in unique, distinctive ways.
John, the cousin of Jesus, was the forerunner, preaching the ringing message of repentance and preparation. Two thousand years ago, he cried out in the desert; today, his words still resonate in the desert of a world thirsty for life and salvation. Mary, conceived without sin, would hear the call of God via another messenger, Gabriel, who said to her, "Hail, favored one! The Lord is with you" (Lk 1:28). John was faithful to hear God's call, then to preach and prepare the way; Mary was faithful to receive God's word and then give birth to the Word Incarnate.
"The Precursor of Jesus," said Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI in Advent 2010 of John the Baptist, "situated between the Old Covenant and the New, is like a star that heralds the rising of the Sun, of Christ, the One, that is, upon whom … 'the Spirit of the Lord shall rest... the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord' (Is 11:2)."
Note that wisdom, understanding, counsel, might and knowledge are all attributes of God, while the fear of the Lord — that is, a proper awe and attitude of humble gratitude and worship — is the result of being gifted with God's grace. Without humility, Advent remains a lonely desert; with humility, we are nourished within the gates of God's goodness.
However, we shouldn't confuse humility and receptivity with being passive. The call to repentance requires a response. This is touched on in today's epistle, in which St. Paul encourages the Christians in Rome to "think in harmony with one another, in keeping with Christ Jesus, that with one accord you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ." They were also exhorted to "welcome one another, then, as Christ welcomed you ..." This was not a mere handshake, but a committed embrace, recognizing that the Church, the Body of Christ, is not a country club or an exchange of symbolic gestures, but the household of God (1 Tm 3:15). Indeed, "The Church is the goal of all things" (Catechism of the Catholic Church, No. 760).
John did not know of the mystery of the Church, but knew who he was and what he was called to do. His identity and his mission were joined perfectly in pointing to the Messiah. All who have been baptized into the Messiah, freed from original sin and filled with divine life, have become united with him (see Rom 6).
During Advent, we listen even more intently to his words. "As we contemplate in the Mother of God a life totally shaped by the word," said Pope Benedict, "we realize that we too are called to enter into the mystery of faith, whereby Christ comes to dwell in our lives. Every Christian believer, St. Ambrose reminds us, in some way interiorly conceives and gives birth to the word of God."

Wikitravel:Routebox navigation
Routebox navigation is a supplement to the Get out section of an article which allows the user to browse directly from article to article along a given route or combination of routes. The box contains a logo for each route in the center. To the left and right of the logo are 1) the direction the route follows, 2) the next minor destination, i.e. the next destination for which we have an article, and 3) the next major destination or major thoroughfare junction. More detailed descriptions of how to choose these follows in the sections below.
A set of templates is used to create the boxes. The template is named according to the number of routes to be displayed. Thus, a box which displays 5 routes must be named routebox-5. The template is placed at the end of the Get out section, just before the Wikipedia and language links, and looks like this: Template:Routebox-3 The above box is produced by the following code:
{{routebox-3 | image1=US-287.png | directionl1=N | majorl1=[[Amarillo]] | minorl1=[[Memphis (Texas)|Memphis]] | directionr1=S | majorr1=[[Wichita Falls]] | minorr1=[[Quanah]] | image2=US-62.png | directionl2=N | majorl2=[[Altus (Oklahoma)|Altus]] | minorl2=[[Lawton (Oklahoma)|Lawton]] | directionr2=S | majorr2=[[Lubbock]] | minorr2=[[Paducah (Texas)|Paducah]] | image3=US-83.png | directionl3=N | majorl3=[[Shamrock]] | minorl3=[[Wellington]] | directionr3=S | majorr3=[[Abilene]] | minorr3=[[Paducah (Texas)|Paducah]] }}
Listing order
Preference should be given in the following order:
Criteria for route inclusion
Preference should be given to routes which are most often used by travellers in the given area. For example, listing a passenger train route through the western US is considered too much detail since 99% of travellers go by car in the region, and trains in the region don't have regular service which allows for hop-on hop-off use. Similarly, listing roads in a Central African country doesn't make much sense either, since most travellers see the area by bus or hired car.
In general, to be included, a route should have at least 4 destinations for which we have articles. Smaller routes such as state highways should be omitted if they duplicate the same access path as another route. Like other sections of our articles, the number of listings should never exceed nine. Destinations under 1 million people should generally not exceed 5 listings.
Assigning directions
Directions should be assigned according to official signage when available. In general, the two directions indicated by the routebox should be consistent for the length of the route when possible. Exceptions can be made when official signage indicates, or for loop lines such as a highway which circumnavigates an island or, for example, Tokyo's Yamanote line.
Assigning major destinations
Criteria for what is assigned as a major destination in each direction depends on the relative importance of the route.
For major national routes
For major national routes, the norms are major junction cities of the region and national parks. Major cities are typically cities of 500,000 or more. For highway systems with designated control cities such as the US Interstate system, this serves as a good guide as to what should be designated as a major destination.
For lesser national routes and subnational routes
For lesser national routes which tend to pass through smaller towns the criteria is less stringent as to what can be selected as a major destination. The same control destinations should be included as those for the major routes, but in addition:
Assigning minor destinations
The minor destination in each direction should always be the next place along the route for which we have an article. This should include any national parks or state parks unless the next city falls inside of said park. Care should be taken in assuring that nothing is skipped. Running names from a map into our search engine is generally a good way to ensure complete coverage.
Termini, merging, and rural junctions
A fictitious box below illustrates how the above points should look when utilized: Template:Routebox-4
Rest areas, travel information centers, and picnic areas
Rest areas, travel information centers, and picnic areas can be inserted in addition to the two destinations in each direction. They should only be inserted when they fall between the current article and the next destination and should be spaced with a single space and hyphen on the appropriate side in the field of the minor destination, as below:

Yosemite Full Day Tour
On this Yosemite Full Day Tour, you get to experience Yosemite National Park and the majestic Giant Sequoia Trees.
We maximize our time in Yosemite National Park by starting early and traveling in a smaller group, and still the tour spends more time inside the park (at least 5 hours) than any other Yosemite tour available. In the Yosemite part of our tour we generally stop to see El Capitan, Half Dome, Bridalveil Falls, Yosemite Falls, Inspiration Point (also known as Tunnel View) and Yosemite Village. Unlike most other tours, we also drive to a higher altitude and a less traveled part of Yosemite National Park. Here you'll get the chance to hike in the evergreen forest to see a grove of Giant Sequoia trees.
During the winter months warm clothes, espcially shoes or boots with rubber soles are highly recommended. We will always do what we can do make the trip enjoyable, but safety is our first priority, so the route and itunerary may be changed due to snow depth, road conditions, construction projects and detours. The Giant Sequoias hike is dependent on snow level and trail conditions from October to May,

On MSNBC right now, there is yet another incident involving gun violence in America. At this point, no one seems to have any details of this particular gun-related tragedy, but every American is again cringing at our national shame, gun related deaths! We cant conjecture at this point on any motive, any group, or any political leanings. At this point, as we all have become far too accustomed, we're waiting for information. From Columbine, Fort Hood, Virginia Tech, Aurora CO, and Sandy Hook to the recent gun-violence at the DC Navy yard, the problem seems epidemic and a nasty stain on our American spirit.
But also in today's news, is a report peer-reviewed study, authored by the Public Library of Science, that has uncovered a serious connection. According to PLOS,
"Symbolic racism was related to having a gun in the home and opposition to gun control policies in US whites. The findings help explain US whites' paradoxical attitudes towards gun ownership and gun control. Such attitudes may adversely influence US gun control policy debates and decisions."
Now I'm sure, many of you are asking, "wtf is 'symbolic racism'"? I had the same question, so I again consulted with the good folks at PLOS and found:
"(symbolic racism) is an explicit but subtle form and measure of racism, has been found to be consistently related to peoples decisions regarding policies that may affect non-white US citizens. It is argued that symbolic racism supplanted old-fashioned or overt/blatant racism which had seen blacks as amoral and inferior, and was associated with open support for race inequality and segregation under 'Jim Crow Laws'. Research following the US civil-rights movement suggested that anti-black racism and stereotyping, as assessed by blatant measures, had declined. However, subsequent research revealed that people may merely be reluctant to express racism and negative stereotyping on these blatant measures in order to avoid appearing racist. This observation led to the conceptualization and measurement of more subtle measures of racism, such as, symbolic racism ."
Researches also found significant evidence to say
"for each 1 point increase in symbolic racism there was a 50% increase in the odds of having a gun at home. After also accounting for having a gun in the home, there was still a 28% increase in support for permits to carry concealed handguns, for each one point increase in symbolic racism."
You can find the appropriate documentation for this statement, on the PLOS website.
We've all seen the TEA party rallies with overt signs expressing racial hatred, threats of gun violence, calls for armed revolution, and "second amendment remedies" against any number of perceived conspiracies in our Government. "We cam unarmed, this time!" is a regular staple on the TEA party circuit. Congressman Alan Grayson (D-FL) recently made headlines when he said, "[T]here is overwhelming evidence that the Tea Party is the home of bigotry and discrimination in America today, just as the KKK was for an earlier generation. If the hood fits, wear it." Liberal bloggers (including myself) have been openly suggesting that racism is a major component of the anti-Obama crowd. And many of us have suspected that gun nuts and racists look pretty much the same. It seems now, that science agrees.

Major Works to Highlight Sotheby's October Contemporary Art Sale
Highlighting the works in the auction by Damien Hirst (b. 1965) is Retribution, which he produced in 2006. Estimate: £450,000-650,000. Photo: Sotheby's.
On Friday, October 16, 2009,
London will present its October Contemporary Art Auction, which will include for the first time a section of Arab and Iranian Art. The 177 lot sale will comprise works, in a range of media, by leading Post-War and Contemporary artists, such as Jean-Michel Basquiat, Anish Kapoor, Andy Warhol, Chris Ofili, Damien Hirst, Gerhard Richter, Frank Auerbach, Antony Gormley, Farhad Moshiri and Yan Pei-Ming. The sale is estimated to realize in excess of £9 million.
Commenting on this years Contemporary Art Sale to coincide with Frieze Week, Isabelle Paagman, Director and Specialist in Contemporary Art and Alex Branczik, Deputy Director and Specialist in Contemporary Art, said: With the forthcoming sale, our aim was to assemble an auction that would complement the London Frieze Fair and include important Evening and Day Sale quality works at attractive estimates by established Post-War and Contemporary names as well as cutting edge artists. As with the February and June auctions in London and May in New York, we have been extremely selective and have focused on fresh to the market property with outstanding provenance, which would appeal to our clients in the current market.
Highlighting the forthcoming sale is the masterpiece Afro Apparition by Chris Ofili (b.1968) who will be the subject of a major survey exhibition of his work early next year at Tate Britain which is this Contemporary Art Auctions catalogue cover lot. Signed, titled and dated 2002-2003 on the stretcher, the work is in acrylic, oil, polyester resin, glitter, map pins and elephant dung in linen with two elephant dung supports and measures 275 by 213.5 by 17cm. This piece is the most important work by the artist ever to appear at auction and is one of a suite of works exhibited as part of 'Within Reach' for the 2003 Venice Biennale. Afro Apparition is a stunning example of Ofili's explorations of the interplay between cultural stereotyping and identity, aesthetic beauty and materials.
Just as Ofili's work champions the supremacy of pure aesthetics, it is likewise replete with political and cultural references. The elaborate patterning and restricted palette of Afro Apparition recall an array of sources, revealing Ofili's complex layering of historical and contemporary associations. Its composition is striking for its artfully reductive color scheme of red, green and black; a scheme extended to each work he exhibited at the Venice Biennale, as well as to the interior walls of the British pavilion. The limited palette derives from Marcus Garvey's Pan African flag the flag of African unity where red symbolizes the blood uniting all people of African ancestry, black represents the skin, and green signifies the abundant natural wealth of Africa. In appropriating Garvey's flag, long held as an emblem of Black pride, Ofili consciously references both the united black nationalist movement of the 1960s and the iconic work African-American Flag (1990) by David Hammons, whilst simultaneously empowering as individuals the two central figures embracing in the reflection of its colors. The work is estimated at £280,000-350,000.
A major highlight of the upcoming auction is Untitled by Anish Kapoor (b. 1954), a remarkable polished stainless steel work which measures 250 cm by 250 cm by 60 cm its sale coincides with the solo exhibition of the artists work, Anish Kapoor, at Royal Academy of Arts. Executed in 1997, Untitled manifests all the pioneering ingenuity in material and spatial possibilities that characterize the very best output of this world-renowned sculptor. It dates from Anish Kapoors breakthrough using this medium of hyper-reflective polished steel and was created in a decade that witnessed Kapoor winning the Premio Duemilia Prize for his British Pavilion at the Venice Biennale (1990); winning the Turner Prize (1991); staging a major retrospective at the Hayward Gallery (1998); and becoming a Royal Academician (1999), Untitled is central to the technical and artistic advancement that later led to such highly lauded monumental projects as Cloud Gate of 2004 for Chicago's Millennium Park, and Sky Mirror of 2006 at New York's Rockefeller Center. It is also historically important as an early wall-mounted sculpture, a format adopted to transform the monolithic into the delicate. This work, which was exhibited at the Third Shanghai Biennale, 2000-2001, is estimated at £600,000-800,000.
A further important highlight is Fuego Flores in acrylic and oil stick on canvas by Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960-1988), which has remained off the market for over 20 years and was last exhibited publicly in the 1984 exhibition Jean- Michel Basquiat at the Gallery V in Stockholm. Signed, titled and dated 1983, this sensational canvas was executed at the very height of Basquiats brief and brilliant artistic existence. Created in just his 26th year and perfectly exhibiting his already legendary repertoire of loaded iconography, painterly immediacy and stunning coloristic expressivity, it is estimated at £800,000-1,200,000.
Highlighting the works in the auction by Damien Hirst (b. 1965) is Retribution, which he produced in 2006. Executed on a monumental scale this butterflies and household gloss on canvas work measures 268 cm in diameter (including the frame). In elegant hues of primrose yellow, powder blue and white, Retribution is a uniquely powerful work from the artists celebrated series of butterfly grid paintings. Set into a painted film of white gloss, opalescent hues of the butterflies' gossamer wings produce the effect of a Gothic stained-glass rose window. With this work Hirst confronts the central theme of retribution, suggesting that the butterfly's finest quality - its transcendental aesthetic splendor - is also the source of its own demise, as its unrivaled beauty can only be preserved through the artistic process that follows its death. For Hirst the butterfly holds considerable iconographic power and meaning, and in the butterfly paintings, as is the case with Hirst's finest work, the underlying concept is often complex.
The appearance of Retribution changes when viewed from different distances and perspectives. From afar, the individual wings resemble delicately colored tiles in a mosaic, while up close, the individual specimens some large some small, some with beautiful patterning, others chosen for their calming pearlescence become discernible. Enshrined in household gloss the butterflies seem fragile and painfully mortal. For Hirst, this moment of realization contains the oxymoronic beauty of horror, and horror of beauty. In a complex echo of the cyclical nature of life on earth, the caterpillar dies in its chrysalis, and is reborn as a butterfly - this delicate creature dies, but in doing so gives birth to a beautiful object, the work of art. The monochrome butterfly canvases were first exhibited in his In and Out of Love exhibition of 1991 at the Woodstock Gallery in London and this example is estimated at £450,000-650,000.
Another important piece in the sale by Damien Hirst is his Two Skulls. In this 2006 oil on canvas Hirst mingles the horrific with the comic and there is an artful tension between the futility of human life and the inevitability of death. Posed as if two companions, their physical disparities suggest gender difference: the left skull, with its ragged teeth and attenuated jaw, appears masculine, the right skull smaller, and more neatly proportioned seems feminine. Their arrangement suggests intimacy and companionship the longed for state of eternal union after which all humans seem fated to strive. Though the skulls of the lovers lie side by side in a final conjugal grin, they are ultimately reduced to inanimate objects, empty vessels now bereft of the human spirit they once contained. The inscription written by the artist on the reverse of the canvas 'Death, Shmeth!' suggests that Hirst is himself prepared to laugh death in the face. In the simple act of creation, he has produced a work of art destined to stand the test of time long after his own demise. In so doing, he simultaneously celebrates the unavoidable gaze of death, whilst himself averting it. Two Skulls is estimated at £220,000-280,000.
Abstraktes Bild by Gerhad Richter (b. 1932) is a further major highlight of the auction. Executed in 1990, the work is a complex interplay of ambiguity and color. With its lyrical and reflective qualities resonating both on the surface and deep within the layers of paint, Richter epitomizes his explorations into Abstraction and seems to both reveal and conceal. Richter initially engaged in Abstract Painting in 1976, thus meaning that the present work draws on nearly two decades of various technical and abstract investigations. To produce these paintings Richter begins by placing a number of white primed canvases around the walls of his studio, eventually working on several of them simultaneously and re-working them until they are completely harmonized. Tracts of color are dragged across the canvas using a squeegee, so that the various strains of malleable, semi-liquid pigment suspended in oil are fused together and smudged first into the canvas, and then layered on top of each other as the paint strata accumulate to bring color and textural juxtapositions. Richter's technical aptitude has led to his reputation as one of the outstanding painters of our era and Abstraktes Bild, which lays testament to his relentless technical explorations in the field of abstract art and to the painterly and intellectual elasticity unique in his work, is estimated at £500,000-700,000.
Highlighting the works of Chinese contemporary art in the auction is the 2009 oil on canvas Mao by Yan Pei-Ming (b. 1960), which is estimated at £200,000-300,000. Executed on a monumental scale (the work measures 200 by 235cm) using broad strokes of bright crimson paint the work is a captivating depiction of the Chinese leader Chairman Mao. Painted with a minimum of brushstrokes, Ming's portraits are built up in blunt, muscular gestures blurring the surface at close range, yet creating a clear and evocative image when viewed from a distance. In the present work, Mao appears to be laughing - the Great Leader fixates on someone or something outside the picture space. The moment captured is both ambiguous and unnerving - the deep, rich, crimson pigment creating a compelling tension between the red flag of Communism and its subtext of violent bloodshed.
A further sale highlight is the widely exhibited acrylic and silkscreen ink on canvas Joseph Beuys which was produced by Andy Warhol (1928-1987) in 1980. Joseph Beuys and Andy Warhol met for the first time at Hans Mayer's gallery in Düsseldorf in 1979 and was an encounter observed as the meeting of two revolutionary artistic minds. However, it was during Beuys' spectacular exhibition at the Guggenheim in New York that November that the idea for this work was initiated. Heiner Bastian, the renowned critic and sponsor of both Warhol and Beuys' artistic eminence, persuaded Warhol to invite Beuys to the Factory, and, over lunch, suggested that Warhol should paint Beuys' portrait. In keeping with his then current practice, Warhol took a sequence of Polaroid photographs of the German artist, and the present work results from the distillation of color and contour of one of those images. The bronze metallic ground punctuated with vivid pink and piercing blue demarcates the unmistakable features of an artist who spent over 30 years exploring and redefining the very boundaries of art. Warhol, the architect of Pop and subsequent catalyst of a new cultural age, and Beuys, the poetic radical who revolutionized the landscape of the performance and the concept in art, are here sublimely conflated in an epic tribute to both their talents. It is estimated at £200,000-300,000.
The forthcoming auction will also feature a section dedicated to Arab and Iranian Art, which will include 46 lots. Spearheading the section will be Cowboy and Indian, in acrylic and glitter on canvas, in two parts, by Farhad Moshiri (b. 1963), who is at the very forefront of Contemporary Iranian Art. In the present work, Moshiri has masterfully intertwined artistic innovation with a subtle yet subversive sociopolitical commentary to create one of the most exciting and varied outputs of recent times. The Cowboy and Indian figures, mainstay figureheads of North American culture, are apparently depicted in sugary confection as metaphor for both homogenizing mass culture and in reference to the well-documented lavish culinary excesses during the reign of the last Shah of Iran. Thus through its media alone Moshiri's work implicates and interrogates layered socio-cultural themes, principally the impact of the dissemination of Western culture throughout other parts of the world, specifically the Middle East. Rooted in a Pop dialect founded by the likes of Andy Warhol, Tom Wesselmann and Robert Rauschenberg, Moshiri's mode of expression also similarly takes up themes of contemporary consumerist and branding culture. The work is expected to realize £150,000-200,000.
Another important work in this section is Palastinian artist Mona Hatoum's extraordinary and monumental Untitled (Baalbeck Birdcage) of 1999 in wood and galvanized steel. It stands as an awe-inspiring testament to the artist's brilliant manipulation of scale and pioneering sculptural invention. The inspiration behind this work was a domestic birdcage that Hatoum encountered in the city of Baalbeck during a journey in Lebanon in 1996. Metaphorical associations of imprisonment and acute claustrophobia confront the viewer and are immediately compelling, and Hatoum even used the dimensions of cells of the infamous prison Alcatraz to fashion her phenomenally oversized sculpture. Hatoum has reinterpreted the original birdcage by magnifying its scale ten times. Born in Beirut in 1952, Hatoum's life experience has thus far been one of double exile: first as part of a Palestinian family in Lebanon, and subsequently manifest as her own move to England during Lebanon's Civil War of the 1970s. Although her work is frequently interpreted within this biographical context, with special attention drawn to allied themes such as displacement, alienation, and exile, she herself has always avoided being overtly autobiographical or didactic in her work. Indeed, the present work brilliantly encapsulates how she brings together personal, political and conceptual strands in her art. It is estimated at £100,000-150,000.
Representing the younger, cutting edge component of the sale is Copper Sulphate Chartres & Copper Sulphate Notre-Dame by Roger Hiorns (b. 1975). Hiorns is among four artists nominated for the 2009 Turner Prize and is known for transforming a condemned south London flat by enshrouding it with iridescent copper sulphate crystals. He is an artist of alchemy and the uncontrollable, using eclectic materials including detergent, disinfectant, perfume and other chemical solutions, to crystallize and transform the readymade, used as an explicit point of departure. Hiorns grew crystals on a cardboard architectural maquette, testing the object's status and significance, to create this work which is estimated at £6,000-8,000.

LeTourneau University's Automotive Society is revving up for its 37th Annual Car Show to benefit missions and the auto society shop. The event will take place Saturday, March 23, from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Sunday, March 24, from noon. to 5 p.m. in the Exhibit Building at the Maude Cobb Convention Center, 100 Grand Blvd. in Longview.
Admission is $10 for adults and $5 for students with valid student identification. Children 12 and under get in free.
This year's Car Show will feature a range of vehicles from classic muscle cars, race cars, custom restorations and a few new cars mixed in.
"Our LETU Automotive Society Car Show is always a very fun time with lots of great cars for car enthusiasts to meet other car lovers in the community" said LETU student Logan Houshmand, coordinator for this year's Car Show.
"This year we will donate proceeds from the Car Show to help a missionary family working with Africa Inland Mission to purchase a car for them to use as they witness to the Mbororo tribe," Houshmand said.
"We also understand the need for missions in our own communities, which is why we continuously keep an eye out for local projects we can be involved in," Houshmand said. "We also offer oil changes for the young women at LETU and provide open shop days for the guys to use our automotive equipment. The spirit of the Automotive Society is a Do-It-Yourself attitude. We believe we can make a huge impact in our communities and around the world using the gifts that God has given us.
Houshmand said that last year, the Car Show funds sent three auto society members to the Democratic Republic of Congo in Africa to successfully complete an engine rebuild on a hospital's 14-ton Volvo diesel engine.
"In an area where tools, parts, and skill level made it impossible for locals to properly rebuild the truck, we were able to work alongside the Congolese mechanics teaching as we went leaving them the tools for future use," Houshmand said. He said that when they arrived at the hospital, they discovered a Toyota pickup that needed parts for an engine rebuild.
"Just before we left, we were able to find and purchase all the parts needed to get it running again," Houshmand said. "About a month later, we received word that the local mechanics had successfully rebuilt the engine, and the hospital was using the truck daily."
The LeTourneau University Automotive Society is a Christ-centered group of student auto enthusiasts with an auto shop on campus. The LETU Auto Society receives financial contributions and raises money from the local community to fund its projects and then use the proceeds to help others.

CHARLESTON, S.C. (Feb 29, 2012) – Missing six players due to international absences, the Chicago Fire battled throughout, using an 80th minute strike from Federico Puppo to grind out a 1-0 victory over the Columbus Crew Wednesday night at Blackbaud Stadium in Game Two of the 2012 Carolina Challenge Cup in Charleston, S.C.
Puppo nearly put the Fire ahead in the 20th minute as Kheli Dube slotted him through on Andy Gruenebaum's goal but the Crew 'keeper charged off his line to divert the shot away from frame.
Trialing Fire goalkeeper Paolo Tornaghi found some magic of his own 16 minutes later when Crew defender Sebastian Miranda broke through and fired a low blast that the Italian netminder turned away to take the sides into the break level.
With back and forth play for much of the early second half, the Fire began to put their stamp on the match beginning in the 72nd minute when Dan Gargan slid Daniel Paladini up the right flank. The Fire midfielder cut into the box and charged towards the end line before trying an acute effort that Gruenebaum deflected wide.
The lone goal of the match came 10 minutes from time when Paladini played a measured ball to Fire defender Gonzalo Segares on the left flank before sending a cross into the area. The deflected cross fell to Puppo, who pounced on the opportunity before rifling a shot just over Gruenebaum to secure a 1-0 Fire victory.
The Fire close out the 2012 Carolina Challenge Cup Saturday, March 3 when they take on hosts Charleston Battery at 6:15pm CT. Fans can watch the match live via Chicago-Fire.com or follow @ChiFireMatch on Twitter.
The Fire host Opening Day at Toyota Park against the Philadelphia Union on Saturday, March 24 at 7:30 PM CT. Chicago Fire Season Tickets are available by calling 1-888-MLS-FIRE (657-3473), via Ticketmaster or by heading to the club's official website at Chicago-Fire.com.
- Federico Puppo's 80th minute goal is his first of Fire preseason.
- Midfielders Pavel Pardo and Sebastian Grazzini and defenders Cory Gibbs and Austin Berry were unavailable for selection Wednesday night
- Goalkeeper Sean Johnson (U.S. U-23), midfielders Marco Pappa (Guatemala) and Victor Pineda (U.S. U-20) and forwards Orr Barouch (Israel U-21), Dominic Oduro and Patrick Nyarko (Ghana) were away on international duty and also unavailable for selection Wednesday night.
