When asked what jumps out at him from the film of Chicago Bears tailback Matt Forte, Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma said, "He gets the ball a lot."
"They run him. They throw it to him. They split him out wide, and they run routes with him, " Vilma said of the rookie revelation he is preparing to face Thursday night in Chicago. "He's their guy right now.
"I know there was some question going into the season about who was going to be their guy, their running back, and he definitely stepped up."
Forte, who prepped at Slidell High, went from being Tulane's go-to guy to the Bears' go-to guy without missing a beat. And when the Saints play the Bears Thursday in Chicago, they'll probably get a heavy dose of the local guy.
He probably won't finish this season with 2,127 yards and 23 touchdowns like he did in his senior season with the Green Wave. But he is putting up statistics that rank him historically alongside Gale Sayers, Walter Payton, Marshall Faulk and LaDainian Tomlinson, among others.
Forte ranks second in the NFL this season with 1,476 yards from scrimmage (1,081 rushing and 395 receiving), behind only Minnesota's Adrian Peterson.
With three games remaining, he has become the seventh NFL rookie to surpass 1,000 rushing yards and 50 receptions. The other names jump off that list -- Tomlinson, Faulk, Edgerrin James, Eric Dickerson, Billy Sims and Joe Cribbs.
Forte took a team record from Sayers last week, setting the rookie mark for yards from scrimmage.
"It's an honor to be playing for the Bears and their history of running backs here, " Forte said. "That gives me motivation each week to follow in the footsteps of Hall of Fame running backs like that."
Forte's accomplishments are remarkable, considering he was the sixth running back taken in April's draft (No. 44 overall, behind five first-round picks).
But the Bears, to their credit, showed faith in him from the start. They appeared to covet Forte early in the predraft process because he projected as an "every-down back" with size and speed, pass-catching ability and blocking ability.
And less than two months after they drafted him, they felt comfortable releasing former starting tailback Cedric Benson, who didn't pan out after being drafted No. 4 in 2005.
"We loved (Forte). Our running backs coach, Tim Spencer, had Matt rated as highly as any of the running backs coming out, and he hasn't disappointed us in anything, " Bears Coach Lovie Smith said. "He can do all the things you want a No. 1 running back to do. He's an excellent blocker, he's been great on his protections. He can catch the ball out of the backfield. And of course, he knows what to do when you hand him the ball."
Another statistic that stands out is that he has fumbled once in 322 touches. That's the most touches in NFL history for a rookie with one fumble or less.
Smith also spoke highly of Forte's attitude and professionalism, saying he "has been the same guy since the first day he came here, " when he showed up in a coat and tie.
Saints Coach Sean Payton had similar praise for Forte, saying he was "a guy we thought a lot of, not just as a football player."
The Saints took a long look at Forte before the draft, even though tailback wasn't among their most glaring needs. They brought him in for a workout about four or five days before the draft, Payton said, which the league allows because he is a local prospect.
"Certainly he's a guy that we were very much aware of and were rooting for, whether we drafted him or not, " Payton said.
Ironically, the Saints didn't need Forte because they already were developing a young back from Chicago in Pierre Thomas.
But clearly, under different circumstances, Forte would have been a perfect successor to Saints veteran Deuce McAllister, who has been a similar every-down back throughout his career.
Forte said he wasn't a diehard Saints fan growing up, but he has always followed the team and has been a big fan of McAllister, whom he spent time with at a charity event.
He said Thursday's game will have some added meaning for him because it's a team he grew up watching and because so many people will be tuning in from back home.
This game is also a big deal because both teams are in a desperate fight for a playoff berth at 7-6. Both teams need to play their best football down the stretch, something Forte has been surprisingly equipped to do.
Teammates and coaches have marveled at the way Forte has avoided hitting the proverbial "rookie wall" late in the season. He ran for a career-high 139 yards with two touchdowns in Week 12 against St. Louis, 125 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown against Minnesota in Week 13 and 106 yards from scrimmage against Jacksonville in Week 14.
"Everybody talks about (the rookie wall), but I just let it go in one ear and out the other, " Forte said. "And I go out every week and prepare for these games just like I did in college."

ckmedia necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 177 diseños de 67 diseñadores freelance.
Extreme Stamina
Extreme Stamina is an innovative educational video product that aims to help men maximize their performance in the bedroom. Our product helps men understand their own bodies so that they can naturally last longer, get harder, "go" more often, increase testosterone, and learn how to use "it" to give the woman in their life an incredible experience. Our products are done in a tasteful way with no nudity. We are a respected company that has been helping men and women get extraordinary results in the bedroom with our products for the last 3 years.
Men, both single and married, ages 21-49, who are looking to improve their stamina and performance in the bedroom.
We need an awesome logo! We're open to ideas but we want the name "Extreme Stamina" to be included in the design. This logo will be used on the header banner of our website. We may also use this logo in some of our videos, however our main need is a logo that embodies the identity of our product when visitors land on our website. The logo will be displayed against a black or dark blue background on our header banner, so this should be taken into consideration. The exact background color we choose may depend on what looks best with the final design but we prefer dark blue or black.
We do NOT want anything cartoony or cheesy. Words that would describe a great design for this logo would be: Masculine, Modern, Rockstar, Edgy Innovative, Extreme!
We consider ourselves an "outside the box" company and welcome your creativity. We prefer the logo to be in layered Photoshop format with a transparent background so that we can place it anywhere or make minor changes in the future if needed. We may also contact you for additional work, including design of the complete header graphic for the site, which will obviously include your final logo.

Lakers' Nash out for clash with Mavs
El Segundo, CA – Los Angeles Lakers guard Steve Nash is expected to miss the team's pivotal contest with the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday.
Nash tried playing on Saturday against Sacramento, but lasted only two minutes before hip and hamstring injuries forced him from the contest. Both the Lakers and Mavericks are fighting for the last playoff spot in the Western Conference.
The Utah Jazz currently sit eighth in the West, holding a half-game lead over Los Angeles and a two-game lead over Dallas.
Nash hasn't missed a game since late December when he returned from a 24-game absence while healing from a small fracture in his left leg. He will be evaluated daily and Lakers coach Mike D'Antoni said there's a chance he will be ready for Friday's contest against Memphis.
The 17-year-veteran has averaged 12.7 points and 6.7 assists in 50 games during his first season in Los Angeles.

Cell Therapeutics Submits Day 120 Response for Pixantrone Marketing Authorization Application to European Medicines Agency; Potential Q1 2012 Opinion on Approval
Aug 23, 2011, 01:30 ET
SEATTLE, Aug. 23, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Cell Therapeutics, Inc. ("CTI") (NASDAQ and MTA: CTIC) today announced that it has submitted its response to the Day 120 List of Outstanding Issues to the European Medicines Agency's (the "EMA") Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use ("CHMP") in regards to CTI's Marketing Authorization Application for pixantrone (the "MAA") to treat relapsed or refractory aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma ("NHL"). With this submission, CTI expects to receive a CHMP opinion regarding approvability of pixantrone during the first quarter of 2012.
"We have now submitted answers to the CHMP list of questions moving pixantrone a step closer to potential approval," said James A. Bianco, CEO of CTI. "Following an encouraging meeting with the EMA earlier this year and based on recommendations from the rapporteurs, we requested and received an extension to answer all the EMA's questions in the Day 120 letter. We believe we have been able to provide quality responses to each of the questions posed and we expect this positions us to receive an opinion by the early next year. If the opinion is positive, we expect that the commercial launch of pixantrone in Europe could occur as early as the first half of 2012."
In the United States, CTI expects to resubmit its New Drug Application for pixantrone (the "NDA") to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the "FDA") during the fourth quarter of 2011 and the FDA has indicated the NDA would receive a six month review resulting in a decision on approval of the NDA by the FDA in the United States as early as April 2012.
About Pixantrone
Pixantrone is a novel aza-anthracenedione that has distinct structural and physio-chemical properties that make its anti-tumor activity unique in this class of agents. Similar to anthracyclines, pixantrone inhibits Topo-isomerase II but unlike anthracyclines -- rather than intercalation with DNA -- pixantrone alkylates DNA -- forming stable DNA adducts with particular specificity for CpG-rich, hyper-methylated sites. These structural differences resulted in significantly enhanced anti-lymphoma activity compared to doxorubicin in preclinical models. In addition, the structural motifs on anthracycline-like agents that are responsible for the generation of oxygen free radicals and the formation of toxic drug-metal complexes have also been modified in pixantrone in an effort to prevent the binding of iron and perpetuation of superoxide production -- both of which are the putative mechanism for anthracycline induced acute cardiotoxicity. These novel pharmacologic differences may allow re-introduction of anthracycline-like potency in the treatment of relapsed/refractory diffuse large lymphoma without unacceptable rates of cardiotoxicity.

This press release includes forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties the outcome of which could materially and/or adversely affect actual future results and the market price of CTI's securities. Specifically, the risks and uncertainties that could affect the development of pixantrone include risks associated with preclinical and clinical developments in the biopharmaceutical industry in general, and with pixantrone in particular, including, without limitation, the potential failure of pixantrone to prove safe and effective for the treatment of relapsed or refractory NHL and/or other tumors as determined by the FDA and/or the EMA, that CTI may not receive an opinion regarding approvability of pixantrone from the CHMP in the first quarter of 2012, that the CHMP may request additional information from CTI regarding pixantrone, that CTI may not receive a positive opinion from the CHMP, that CTI may not be able to commence commercialization of pixantrone in the first half 2012, that CTI may not resubmit the NDA for approval to the FDA during the fourth quarter of 2011, that the FDA's review of the NDA may take longer than six months, that the FDA may not approve the NDA as early as April 2012 or at all, CTI's ability to continue to raise capital as needed to fund its operations, competitive factors, technological developments, costs of developing, producing and selling pixantrone, and the risk factors listed or described from time to time in CTI's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission including, without limitation, CTI's most recent filings on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K. Except as may be required by law, CTI does not intend to update or alter its forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

Happy Valentine's Day! Welcome to the 7th week of Biggest C&R Loser 2013! This year we'll be keeping all of the results and placings secret until the end of the contest. We'll also be pooling our cash to award the 2013 winner the largest prize we've ever awarded … a whopping $40! This week's theme is always a Biggest C&R Loser favorite! It's time for: "What's Inside Your Fridge?" Let's see what our contestants are hiding behind the refrigerator door! This week each of our contestants will show you a photo of their fridge and describe the contents. Here we go!
My fridge at home looks a lot like the one in this photo. Now that I'm leeching off my parents for practice teaching, they only have healthy things in the fridge. It should be good for me as long as I don't splurge on my own! Which I won't, because I'm broke.
Ah yes, this week is the fridge picture. And here we go! Top shelf: OJ, milk, butter, Ginger ale; next shelf: eggs, carrots, celery, salsa; next shelf: Salad stuff, and meat (to make chili tonight); next shelf: Diet Coke, baking soda, two bottles of wine, one bottle of beer; In the lower drawer is an onion, for the chili; The door shelves contain condiments, then yogurt, the applesauce. Healthy, I know! But now I'm really looking forward to the chili tonight!
So. Our fridges. I tried to have it neater this time so Adam wouldn't freak out. I only got groceries on Sunday so I'm surprised it's not fuller (more full?). My freezer is stocked up and yes, that is two containers of Hagen Daas. But come one, it was $3 off, and it's next to the box of Weight Watchers egg mcmuffins so I think that has a moderating effect on the ice-cream calories. I tend to fill up the freezer, then don't buy anything until it empties out. Just restocked. Our top shelf is usually lunch stuff, pudding, juice, etc. There are some leftovers in there this time, I usually have an average number of fruits and veggies in the bottom and we have lots of juice and soda in the door along with various bottles of sauce, relish, whipped cream in a can, marinade, salad dressing, etc. Oh and that little drawer inside is chock full of cheese. (Sorry Michelle) So an average fridge? We take our lunch to work/school every day and we cook dinner at home 13 out of 14 days, so we usually have a lot of staples on hand to make it fast and easy.
Atop the fridge are several boxes of cereal, bottles of dishwasher detergent, and vitamins. Freezer is packed, mostly with frozen fruit, ice cube trays, and coffee. The main section of the fridge has waaaay too much stuff in it, with the bottom shelf dominated by a pot of broccoli-bean-and-lemon pasta, and various other containers of leftovers. Good luck finding what you're looking for in there!
In the freezer I have some frozen veggies and pitas. On the fridge door I have some condiments, seltzer, rice milk, canned fruit and water. In the fridge I have some Fresca, veggies, fake cheese, leftover taco "meat", apples, hummus, peanut butter, tofu and tempeh. YUM! Now I want to go eat it all.
Michelle M.
We always have the following in the fridge: juice, salad dressings, condiments, fruits, veggies, Harry's beer and my zinfandel (Beringer's!), dill pickles (Adam's favorite) and salsa. There are usually ingredients for a meal or leftovers from my cooking, but I didn't cook this week (lazy!), so the fridge is a little bare. There are some leftover fajitas from the Mexican restaurant where we had dinner the other night. And the yogurt (yuck!) is Harry's, he's been making smoothies.
In the freezer: 1st drawer: frozen veggies. 2nd drawer: popsicles (Harry had a cold/sore throat), ice cream and vodka. I find when I freeze Thin Mints, the box will last longer than a day. That hummus is soooo garlicky – when Harry eats it, the house reeks of garlic. That's why it was banished to the freezer (until I'm out of town or die). 3rd drawer: Lots of leftovers (in the back), some Lonely Man dinners and a big old bag of strawberries for Harry's smoothies.
What's in my fridge? Not a lot at all as you can see. There are a lot of condiments though…I'm on the all condiment diet you see. Lots of flavor…very little health.
Mr. Sombrero
Now that I look at this picture I realize how crammed, small, messy and badly-lit this fridge is. Maybe I should be on Food Hoarders, if there is a show like that. It does have good things in it. Lots of veggies and fruits, some protein and leftovers. Yummmmm!

There was some unfortunate news out of Whitecaps FC camp, as second overall SuperDraft pick Darren Mattocks has been hospitalized with burns to his chest and upper arm. Mattocks suffered the injury while cooking dinner on Sunday night. "It was an unfortunate accident, but Darren is handling everything well and remains in good spirits," said head coach Martin Rennie. Make sure to send Darren your well wishes on Facebook or with the #GetWellDarren hashtag on Twitter. (whitecapsfc.com)
Everyone wishes Darren a speedy recovery so he can be back on the field with his teammates in no time.
The 'Caps have many goals they want to achieve this season under head coach Martin Rennie. One, of those goals was to have an improved defence and - with back-to-back clean sheets - that goal seems to be within reach. Both goalkeepers have been needed in the first two matches. However, it's Cannon who steals the spotlight this week as his save on Chivas USA striker Casey Townsend has been nominated for Save of the Week. Make sure to vote for Cannon's save! (MLSsoccer.com)
Another one of the 'Caps goals this year is to stay healthy, as last year the club was riddled with injuries. To achieve this goal the Blue and White have paid special attention to the medical side of things. People talk about the connections on the field Hassli/ Le Toux and DeMerit/Bonjour, but it's a connection off the pitch in the trainer's room between Dr. Rick Celebrini and Dr. Michael Young that could make the biggest difference for Whitecaps FC this year. (Bruce Constantineau - The Vancouver Sun)
Two matches and two wins for Whitecaps FC and now MLSsoccer.com have ranked the 'Caps in seventh position in their power rankings while Soccer America have Martin Rennie's side in sixth position. This week's upcoming home match against D.C. United will be another tough test for Rennie's side as they take on a side led by reigning MLS MVP, Golden Boot winner, and Canadian international Dwayne De Rosario. Make you sure you have your tickets for the first night match at BC Place this season.
Recently, Whitecaps FC participated in Pink Shirt Day in support of an Anti-Bullying lifestyle. Captain Jay Demerit led the charge on this front and this campaign has proved to be highly successful again as the campaign raised over $150,000 for the Boys and Girls Club of the lower mainland.

We are the heart of a University that welcomes students, faculty, and staff of diverse backgrounds and ethnicities. Our responsibility to the society of which we are a part, and our deeply held conviction that we are immeasurably enriched by diversity among our faculty and students, require that we provide an environment in which people from all backgrounds can comfortably work and study together, are supported in the pursuit of their interests and goals, and can most beneficially learn from and about one another.
Our primary academic mission can be fully accomplished only if we are a community of individuals with rich and varied life experiences and academic knowledge. This diversity of our community and its interests is indispensable to the provision of the highest quality education in the liberal arts, sciences and engineering. There has never been a greater need for education that stimulates broad engagement with and understanding of people from diverse backgrounds. Our students come to us from, and will return to, a world that is globally interlinked—a world in which they will be expected to understand, serve, and work with people from diverse cultures and backgrounds. Many of our graduates will be called upon to be leaders in academia, business, the arts and government. To succeed in these roles they must experience and understand cultural and racial differences through an education enriched by learning from and with diverse faculty and fellow students.

US archive of pre-Holocaust photos to go public
A vast US archive of photographs of pre-Holocaust Eastern European Jewish life is being made available to the public and researchers.world Updated: Aug 27, 2014 10:24 IST
A vast US archive of photographs of pre-Holocaust Eastern European Jewish life is being made available to the public and researchers.
The International Center of Photography in New York and the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, DC, on Tuesday announced the joint creation of a digital database to facilitate access to photographer Roman Vishniac's archive.
Vishniac was a Russian-born Jew who moved to Berlin in 1920. He documented the rise of Nazi power and its effect on Jewish life in Central and Eastern Europe.
The International Center of Photography said it believes the project "represents a new model for digital archives" and it's excited to bring Vishniac's collection to a wider audience.
"Our shared goal is to make the images available for further identification and research, deepening our knowledge of Vishniac's work and the people and places he recorded in his images," said the center's executive director, Mark Lubell.
The database includes all of Vishniac's 9,000 negatives, most of which have never before been printed or published.
The photography center and the museum are asking scholars and the public to help identify the people and places depicted in the images.
The Holocaust Memorial Museum's director of collections, Michael Grunberger, said he hoped Vishniac's work would inspire new generations to learn more about the late photographer and Holocaust history.
"This project will introduce many people to one of the 20th century's pre-eminent photographers while greatly increasing our understanding of his subjects," Grunberger said.

SPRINGFIELD — You'll likely not find a more experienced voter participating in this year's election than my grandmother.
SPRINGFIELD — You'll likely not find a more experienced voter participating in this year's election than my grandmother.
At age 102, she has lived through two world wars, the Great Depression, 18 presidents and seen more Illinois politicians indicted than Bayer has aspirin.
Despite this, she has not become cynical.
She approaches the voting booth with the devotion and faithfulness of a communicant kneeling at the altar of Democracy.
The political world in which she was born was much different than today.
William Howard Taft was president, the flag bore 46 stars, the Constitution hadn't been amended yet to allow the income tax.
And the major political issue of the day was whether the consumption of alcohol should be legal.
But for my grandmother voting is a precious franchise. After all, she was born into a world where women weren't allowed to vote.
The 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution granting women the right was passed when Grandma was 10.
She was born only 45 years after the Civil War and veterans of that conflict were her neighbors. And she knew folks who voted for fellow Illinoisan Abraham Lincoln.
As a child, I remember my grandparents studying sample ballots before an election and researching the candidates with the intensity of students preparing for an exam.
Neither Grandma Eva nor Grandpa Ralph were wealthy people.
They farmed for most of their lives in Schuyler and McDonough counties. They worked their fields with teams of horses and later tractors. When money was short, sometimes my grandpa would mine coal or work an assembly line.
The Great Depression left an indelible mark on both of them. For the last 47 years, I've listened to Grandma talk about when the next depression will arrive.
At age 102, her memories are sharp. And she can recite her voting history with the ease of a kindergartener reciting the Pledge of Allegiance.
It wasn't that she wouldn't consider voting for a Democrat, it was just that few rose to her high standards.
She voted for Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1932 — but every election since, it has been a straight GOP ballot for her.
A few months ago, I asked her why she voted for Roosevelt.
I was expecting her to talk about the New Deal, instead my grandmother, a lifelong teetotaler talked about Prohibition.
She didn't like the lawlessness that engulfed her rural community. It was a time when Al Capone reigned in Chicago.
"Prohibition was bad, Scott. Folks had stills out in the woods all over Schuyler County and were making whiskey. It had to go. President Hoover supported prohibition but Roosevelt didn't."
Today she talks about the things important to her in simple words: frugality, honesty, opportunity.
She loves her family and delights in her great-grandchildren. She wants them to have great opportunities, too.
When she casts her vote this November it will be with their future in mind.

As part of the Accelerated Bridge Program, over $400 million in funding has been allocated to improving the conditions of structurally deficient bridges in the Lower Basin area of the Charles River. Created ninety years ago from tidal marshes and mud flats, the Charles River Basin operates as a complex transportation and linkage system. This area serves as a host to many historic and natural resources, including parks, shared use pathways, public boat landings, boat houses, recreational facilities and leading higher educational institutions. Bridge Rehabilitation Projects currently completed or underway include the Craigie Dam Bridge and Craigie Drawbridge, the Longfellow Bridge, the Boston University Bridge, Western Avenue Bridge, River Street Bridge and the Anderson Memorial Bridge, and Magazine Beach Pedestrian Bridge.
The historic Charles River Basin bridges provide critical connections in and out of Boston for a wide range of users, including businesses, universities, hospitals, bicyclists, pedestrians, and drivers. The bridges are important evacuation routes and serve countless recreational users along the Charles River. To ensure that impacts are managed and minimized the following steps have been taken by the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT):
There are no public meetings
currently scheduled.
Please check back for updates.
The public comment period on this study closed on Friday, January 17.

They're almost as much a part of Hanukkah as potato pancakes, the foil-wrapped chocolate candies called gelt that usually come in plastic-mesh bags at the checkout stand and taste pretty much like the leftover wax from the candles in the menorah. Embossed with designs, they're meant to represent the coins that once were given to children as an encouragement for their Jewish studies. (As with most Jewish traditions, there are multiple explanations for the tradition.)
In other words, they don't taste very good, and at a time when Hostess cupcakes are headed toward possible extinction, perhaps it makes sense that another low-quality sweet from the nostalgia banks of baby boomers is undergoing an upscale -- and ethical -- makeover.
According to an article in the online Jewish magazine Tablet (and reported over the years elsewhere), 80% of the world's cacao comes from West African operations where children are commonly used as slave labor. Though this affects, obviously, most of the chocolate we buy, awareness is growing that a treat to celebrate a people's liberation should not be obtained from the enforced labor of innocents. (This would be especially true of Passover, which is the literal celebration of liberation from slavery, but chocolate doesn't figure prominently into that holiday, though questions might arise about whether the gefilte fish came from farmed fish grown sustainably.)

On Sunday 22nd August, at 5:30pm, the two teams of Eric Qvick/Christophe Geoffroy/Olivier Bruixola and Patric Derdaele/Peter Theuws/Johan Empsen/Marc Neyens sailed into history by crossing the finish line of the Zolder 24 Hours in their Ultima GTRs. Yes, you read that right - two Ultimas at the start, two Ultimas at the finish of an eventful 24 hours endurance.
Ultima + M3 = GTR 3.2
The Ultimas GTR that compete in the Belcar are powered by a 400+ bhp M3 3.2 racing engine, mated to a Hewland sequential six-speed gearbox. Because of this "small" engine configuration, the Ultimas are eligible for the GTB class, dominated by the ubiquitous Porsche GT3.
Both cars were originally built by Eric Qvick (of Mini S3 fame), but have subsequently been run by two different teams, Qvick Motors Racing on the one hand and Belgium Racing on the other hand. Both teams work closely together though and exchange good and bad experiences. As a result, the Ultimas are not identical. Without entering too much into detail, the most obvious differences concern the suspension and tyre brands (KW and Pirelli for Qvick Racing – Moton and Dunlop for Belgium Racing).
Both teams have made spectacular progress throughout the season, improving their lap times and finishing nearer to the front with each race. Because the Ultimas still lack set-up benchmarks, trouble-shooting remains a trial and error process. However, the extensive development program that the multi-talented Qvick has put the cars through, is definitely paying off.
On the fourth round of Belcar at a flooded Nürburgring, Qvick/Geoffroy scored a superb 2nd in GTB class. It was only bad luck, in the form of a defect wind screen wiper, that prevented their first class win. In this very wet race Derdaele/Theuws finished 6th in class after being penalized for crossing the pit lane exit line too early. It is clear to see that once all teething problems will be solved, the Ultima GTR will become a regular podium finisher and even a class winner.
24 Hours : if not Spa ... then Zolder
Qvick Motors Racing and Belgium Racing were eager to compete in the international FIA GT Spa 24 Hours in July, but unfortunately the FIA decided otherwise. Some regulations regarding crash-test matters sealed their fate and kept the Ultimas away from the Ardennes circuit. This decision in turn left enough time to fully focus on the preparation for the Zolder 24 Hours, Belcar's major race after all.
During the preparatory period, the Ultimas received the traditional endurance treatment such as fitment of a larger fuel tank, tuning of the engine for reliability instead of peak power output, revision of some aerodynamic tweeks...
Regarding the driver line-up, regular Belcar contenders Eric Qvick and Christophe Geoffroy were joined by Olivier Bruixola on the no 33 Qvick Motors Racing car, while Belgium Racing's Patric Derdaele and Peter Theuws teamed up with Johan Empsen and Marc Neyens on the no 32 car.
The Zolder 24 Hours may not be a world-wide covered event, but the race is generally being regarded as a very tough race, even tougher than Spa according to some drivers. Consider for a moment fifty GT cars racing on a 4 km track for 24 hours with the fastest GTA cars lapping in the 1:30 region and covering more than 700 laps and you get the picture!
For this year's race 49 cars signed present for qualifying on Thursday 19th August, including a Corvette C5R, three Vipers GT-R, a bunch of Porsche 996 BiTurbos and GT3s, several BMW M3s V8, a Ford Mondeo Silhouette, a Marcos Mantis and the odd Seat Cupra.
Qvick/Geoffroy/Bruixola managed to put the no 32 on 7th row, qualifying 13th overall and 3rd in GTB with an excellent 1.38.941. One row back stood the no 33 having set a time of 1.39.423. Though qualifying times may not be deemed crucial for a long distance race, the statement made was clear : even in endurance trim, the Ultima GTR could give the GT3s a good run for their money.
The Race
The race start was given on Saturday 21st August at 17:30. While the GTA Corvette,Vipers and BiTurbos engaged in an outright battle for the lead, the Ultimas settled for a consistent pace within the limits of a targeted lap time. The amount of fuel aboard should keep them out on the track for 1h45'.
Qvick/Geoffroy/Bruixola enjoyed a hassle-free initial stage of the race, only stopping for the scheduled pit-stops.The latter by the way, are rather hilarious at the Zolder 24 Hours, as the cars have to stop first at a petrol station at the pit entry in order to being served by an official crew assisted by the teams' fuel men. Once filled up they proceed to their box for the actual pit stop. This petrol station is the only reference left to the early days of Belcar when it was still an amateur event.
In the Lead
Around 22.30 the no 32 car - having already made several stops - pulled in suffering from a broken clutch. The mechanics were able to fix the problem but when the car took to the track again it had dropped back to 35th overall. By that time we had already faced an extended safety car procedure following two crashes.
After 6 hours of racing Qvick/Geoffroy/Bruixola were running 7th overall and were even leading GTB class ! Not for long though as the Ultima no 33 car unexpectedly pitted with a broken rose-joint at the right rear suspension and a punctured oil cooler. Half an hour later, it was back in the race but had fallen to 25th position overall.
Just past midnight the safety car pulled out again for 45 minutes, this time because of a heavy four car collision.
The 12 Hour Mark
During the rest of the night no major dramas were reported, except for another crash and subsequent safety car procedure. At 05:30h, after 12 hours of racing both Ultimas were still running, respectively in 21st (no 33) and 28th (no 32) position. This called for a little celebration so I treated myself to an early morning Belgian beer!
Joy was not to last long though as disaster struck at around 08.00h. The no 32 pitted with a smoking left front tyre, caused by a broken front suspension rose-joint. While the mechanics rushed to fix the problem, the no 33 suddenly pulled to a halt just after turn 1. With the assistance of a recovery vehicle, the Ultima got onto the back straight line from where it limped back to the pits, smoke coming out from the right front wheel arch. A quick check revealed the cause, hardly believable ... a broken rose-joint once again.
Both cars were repaired but at this point the teams decided not to push their luck too far. They kept the cars in the pit box for some time and resumed racing at the final stage of the race. Even by doing so they would still cover enough racing distance to be officially classified.
At 17.30h Patric Derdaele/Peter Theuws/Johan Empsen/Marc Neyens crossed the finish line, finishing 24th.
Eric Qvick/Christophe Geoffroy/Olivier Bruixola took the chequered flag 26th, but not without having set fastest lap in the race (of the GTB finishers) with a spectacular 1.37.590.
Everybody agrees that if it were not for the weak links in the suspension, the Ultimas could have finished way up in the final ranking, also because no other major mechanical problems were reported. Given that this was the Belgian teams' maiden 24 hours race with the Ultima, their finish is a truly superb achievement and a historical result for the Ultima GTR. To be continued.

Fallow Deer
(Dama dama)
Facts about this animal
The fallow deer is a medium sized deer reaching a head-body length of 130 cm. In males the height at shoulder is 60-80cm, and the body weight 60-85 kg. Does are slightly smaller than the buck, standing 80-85 cm at the shoulder and weighing about 40-60 kg.
Fallow bucks have antlers that, when fully developed, are easily distinguished from the antlers of other deer species as they are palmated or flattened. The palmation is usually fringed with a series of mini points and these are called spellers. The bucks are also characterised by a prominent Adam's apple and a long penile sheath, known as a brush.
During the last interglacial period, the fallow deer had a wide distribution in Europe. In the holocene, however, the species did not manage to resettle on its own the range lost during the last ice age, but survived only in the eastern Mediterranean, and current European fallow deer popoluations go back to introductions as from Roman times. The introduced fallows were heavily managed, often kept in enclosures, and consequently developed a number of colour variants.
There are four main colours in European Fallow which are: Common, menil, white and black. In the common fallow, the colour of the summer coat is a deep chestnut with white spots, which in winter turns to a dark brown and the spots fade. The tail has a black stripe running along its length and is surrounded by a light coloured area bordered by a black fringe. The menil's coat is similar except that it has a greater number of spots and the area around the tail is bordered by brown, and that the spots are still visible on the winter coat. White fallow are cream coloured at birth, becoming paler as they mature and adults are almost pure white in winter. No spots are visible in their white coat. Black fallow have no spots at any time of the year and do not have the light area surrounding the tail.
The fallow deer is a social species, which, for most of the year, will live in herds of adult does with yearlings and fawns and separate herds of bucks. The groups then rejoin for the rut, which starts in late August or early September, reaching a peak in October. It is only during the rut that fallow display any territorial behaviour.
Fallow fawns are usually born as singles, rarely twins, between May and early June, weighing approximately 4.5 kg. At birth they can be as varied in colour as the adults but all will be spotted to a greater or lesser degree.
Did you know?
that light-coloured fallow deer become tamer than those with wild-type colouration? Individuals that are lighter or darker coloured than typical specimens are occasionally found in the wild. In human care different colour types have been bred systematically.

Required Materials:
The text for this course is Hein, Pattison, Arena, Best: Introduction to General, Organic, and Biochemistry, 9th Edition, published by John Wiley and Sons. A tenth edition of this book has been released but we are still using the older edition. If you buy the book anywhere other than through Marshall Bookstore or Stadium Bookstore you need to be very careful to get the right edition - be sure to look at the ISBN number.
There are several options for purchasing this text. You can buy it as a printed book or as an electronic book. It doesn't matter which version you use because they all have the exact same content and the page numbers and such are the same in all versions. You do not need any supplemental materials, all you need is the text book.
If you DO NOT plan to take CHM 204 (General Chemistry II) the most cost effective option is the special version that Wiley and Sons has made available for Marshall students. This version contains only the chapters for the first semester course and is printed in black and white. The price for this version is about $61. All the color photes and such are in grey tones but this shouldn't make any difference in your ability to understand the text because most of things in color are just supplemental material. This version is bound as a paperback. The ISBN number is 9780470734384. This version is available at the Marshall Bookstore and at the Stadium Bookstore. If it is inconvenient for you to get to Huntington you can order the book online from the MU Bookstore (see link at bottom of main page of the course) or you can order it directly from Wiley and Sons at http://www.wiley.com/WileyCDA/Section/id-405277,redirect-HE.html. You will not find this version at Amazon or any of the other online dealers.
There are three electronic versions of the book. The electronic versions cost a little more then the special MU print version but they do contain the chapters for CHM 204 as well as those for CHM 203. Also, some students find that they like ebooks better than the printed books.
The MU Bookstore will be displaying Follett's CaféScribe eTextbook version. This electronic version sells for approximately $115. It allows you to use the book on up to three computers and also allows you to install the book on a flash drive which will allow you to access the materials from any internet connected computer. You can print portions of the book within limits and you can make notes and highlights. See http://www.cafescribe.com for addtional information. The CaféScribe eTextbook is returnable within 14 days of purchase.
The book is also available as the Desktop Edition E-Book directly from John Wiley and Sons at http://he-cda.wiley.com/WileyCDA/HigherEdTitle/productCd-0470129255,courseCd-CH0200,pageType-techsol,page-16.html Cost for this version is roughly $115. With this version you download the book once onto your computer and then can use it as long as you like but you can only use it on that one computer. You can print sections of the book within limits and you can make notes and highlights.
The electronic book is also available in a CourseSmart edition - see http://he-cda.wiley.com/WileyCDA/HigherEdTitle/productCd-0470129255,courseCd-CH0200,pageType-techsol,page-15.html for details. Cost for this version is roughly $95. The CourseSmart version is a 360 day subscription to a web site that has the entire book available. You can access the site from any computer that has internet access. You can print sections of the book within limits.
If you plan to take CHM 204 you will want want to buy one of the electronic versions or one of the two print versions that contain all the chapters for both courses. Keep the book at the end of the semester because CHM 204 uses chapters 19-31 of the text. These chapters are not present in the special MU version of the text so if you buy that one and then take CHM 204 you will need to buy one of the full versions at the start of CHM 204.
The traditional bound version of the full text is ISBN 978-0-470-12925-8. This book will available at both the Marshall Bookstore and at Stationers listed under CHM 204. Price for a new book is about $195 while a used book will cost about $145.
Both the Marshall Bookstore and Stationers have also been requested to stock the Binder Ready Version (ISBN 978-0-470-39224-9). This is an unbound, three hole punched, printed copy of the text. It costs about $125. The catch is that while the version is less expensive to buy you may not be able to sell it back at the end of the courses. It will be listed under CHM 204 at the bookstores.
As was said earlier, all six versions have the same content (except the the special MU version only contains the chapters for CHM 203). Page numbers and problem numbers are identical throughout all of the versions so any of them will work. You should select the one the fits best with your budget and study methods.
You will need a basic scientific calculator. The logarithm function is the only thing that you will need beyond addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. You should be able to find a suitable calculator for around $15 or less. I do not recommend that you buy an expensive calculator. You will be better off with an inexpensive calculator that you can learn to use easily instead of with an expensive calculator with so many capabilities that you have a hard time learning how to use it. The calculator that is installed as a part of Windows 95/98/NT/2000/XP is a good example of what you need and, in fact, you may want to use it for the quizzes.

Computer and Software Requirements:
- You will need ready access to the internet. Home access is highly recommmended. Your computer should meet the minimum requirements listed at http://www.marshall.edu/muonline/hardwaresoftwarecheck.asp. Broadband access such as DSL or cable modem is desirable but modem dialup access at 56K will work. There are very few files that will take more than a minute to download even at 56K.
- You will need a web browser. Internet Explorer 8.0 is the browser of choice other versions will work also. I have also tested much of the course with the Safari browser for Macintosh OS/X. All portions of the course that I have tested work with Safari. Mozilla and Firefox browsers will work for most parts of the course.
- You will also need the Sun Virtual Java Machine and you can download that from http://www.marshall.edu/muonline/downloadcenter.asp

- There are some animations that are provided in several different formats. All formats show exactly the same information. One of these formats (animated gif) should work on most browsers without any additional plug-ins but some of the others may have shorter file sizes. Another (AVI) will play through the Media Player included in Windows. If you have a slow modem connection it may be worth your while to install either the Shockwave or Quicktime plug-ins since these files may be smaller in some cases.

Contacting the Instructor:
Whenever you need help with the course or just want to ask a question about anything, you should feel free to contact me. I am semiretired and do not teach any classes other than online courses. I do not have an office on campus and I do not have a campus phone.
The only reliable method for contacting me is by e-mail. I tend to check my e-mail at least twice a day (even on weekends) and I tend to reply to e-mail as I receive it. I am sometimes out of town for a long weekend from time to time but will normally have access to e-mail. If I am going to be out of town and out of e-mail contact for more than a couple of days at a time I will warn you ahead of time.
You may use the e-mail that is internal to the course by clicking on the MAIL icon on the main page or at the top of the content pages. If you select compose, then browse, the instructor will listed as Anderson, Gary and will normally be on the first page of the list.
Alternately, you may send e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com by any of the standard internet mail protocols. I will normally respond by whichever method you used to send your message. If you do not receive a response to an e-mail message within 48 hours you should assume that either your original message or my reply has gone astray in the e-mail system and you should resend the message. If you have reason to believe that the Marshall email server is not working properly you may want to try sending the message to me at email@example.com but I only check mail at that address about once a week unless the MU server is down.
Please note that while we tend to think of e-mail as being a nearly instantaneous means of communication there are times that there are significant delays in e-mail transmissions. Under certain circumstances it has been known to take as much as 48 hours for an e-mail message to get between a Marshall University account and an account at a local internet service provider. In fact, I had one case where a student sent me an e-mail message from a Marshall address and it did not arrive until 33 days later. If either server is especially busy or if the network is particularly busy you will see these delays. So, be sure to plan ahead and send e-mail messages as early as possible to avoid problems from unpredicted delays.
I will establish an e-mail list that will be used to make general announcements. Your Marshall University e-mail account will automatically be placed on this list. If you wish to have an alternate e-mail address added to this list you should send me an e-mail message requesting this. If this address changes it is your responsibility to make sure to send me an e-mail message asking me to change the address in the mailing list. General announcements are also posted on the course bulletin board.

Organization of the Course:
Chemistry is a subject that builds on a foundation. You cannot understand the later topics unless you understand the earlier topics. For this reason, I have used the "topic mastery" model for this course. You cannot go on to a new topic until you have mastered the current one. Each topic has a quiz associated with it and you must make a score of 80% (or higher) on the quiz before you can proceed. You may take the quiz as many times as necessary but only the highest score will count.
When you first start the course, only one topic will be available to you. Whenever you complete a topic, a new one will become available. All of the older ones will stay available so that you can review them as needed.
I divided the course into 73 topics -- essentially starting a new topic at the point where I would normally end a lecture session in a regular course. A normal one hour lecture would cover two or more of these topics so each topic would represent somewhere between 10 minutes and an hour of lecture time in a regular course. You should be able to complete some topics in a few minutes but some will take an hour or more.
The course is divided into four roughly equal sized parts. There is an hour exam after you complete each of these parts. These parts cover roughly 2 to 3 chapters of text material just as they would in a regular course. Click here for a detailed list of the topics.

Time Requirement
NOTE WELL: In a normal classroom setting for this course you would be expected to attend approximately 45 hours of lectures. You would also be expected to spend roughly double that amount of time studying for the course outside of class. The e-course format does not work magic -- you should expect to spend at least the same number of hours completing this course. Do not put off working on the course and then expect to be able to complete it in a couple of days. Be sure to try to meet the target dates so that you can successfully complete the course.
Return to Top of Page Students in this course have a maximum of one semester to complete the course. As is mentioned in the grading section of this syllabus, there is a target date for each of the hour examinations. You should try very hard to meet these targets. Otherwise, you will probably have trouble completing the course. Important dates for the Fall of 2011 are:
Target Dates:
- August 22, 2011 First day of classes. Students should start on the topics at this time.
- August 29, 2011 Last day of schedule adjustment. Any student wishing to register for the course after this date will need specific, written permission from the instructor.
- September 17, 2011 Target date for completing Part I and taking Exam I. If you take this exam on or before September 17, 2011 I will add 1% to your final average. If you take this exam after September 24, 2011 I will deduct 1% from your final average.
- October 13, 2011 Target date for completing Part II and taking Exam II. If you take this exam on or before October 13, 2011 I will add 1% to your final average. If you take this exam after October 20, 2011 I will deduct 1% from your final average.
- October 28, 2011 This is the last day to withdraw from an individual course.
- November 8, 2011 Target date for completing Part III and taking Exam III. If you take this exam on or before November 8, 2011 I will add 1% to your final average. If you take this exam after November 15, 2011 I will deduct 1% from your final average.
- December 7, 2011 Target date for completing Part IV and taking Exam IV. If you take this exam on or before December 7, 2011 I will add 1% to your final average. The absolute deadline for taking this exam is December 13, 2011. Failure to complete this exam by that date will result in a grade of zero.
- December 13, 2011 Deadline for completion of the course. You must take the final exam on or before this date or receive a score of zero. If you take the final exam on or before December 7, 2011 I will add 1% to your final average.
Return to Top of Page There will be four hour exams and a final exam in addition to the quizzes. The quizzes will count for one third of the final average. The four hour exams will all have the same weight and will account for one half of the final average. The final exam will account for the remaining one sixth of the final average.
Letter grades will be then be assigned based on the following scale for the final average.
- Greater than 90% = A
- Less than 60% = F
Since I want to encourage students to complete this course in a timely manner, I will add 1% to your final average if you take an hour exam on or before the target date for that exam. On the other side of the coin, I will deduct 1% from your final average if you take an hour exam more than one week after the target date for that exam. I will also add 1% to your final average if you complete the final exam more than one week before the deadline. If you take full advantage of this incentive you can raise your grade by a half a letter grade. On the other hand, failure to complete the coursework on schedule can cost you severely. I will post reminders of the target dates on the bulletin board from time to time so be sure to check the bulletin board for this.
The hour exams will be given on-line. There is a time limit on the exams and it will be enforced by the computer -- no answers will be accepted after the time limit on an exam. You will get the graded exam back with your score and feedback on your errors. Exams are closed book, closed note. You are on your honor to take the exams without any assistance and without referring to any materials other than a basic periodic table.
The final exam will be handled the same way as the hour exams. You only get one attempt on each exam.
The quizzes are all taken on-line and the scores and the correct answers are available to you as soon as you complete the quiz. While I have set the course up so that a "time limit" is shown for each quiz, there is no penalty for taking as much time as you like. The "time limit" is just to give you an estimate of the amount of time you should make sure you have available before starting the quiz. All "time limits" were set at 10 minutes initially and then were adjusted based on statistics on how long it actually took students to complete these quizzes. In most cases at least 90% of the students completed the quiz within the "time limit" and the average is typically about 2/3 of the "time limit"
Return to Top of Page I received my B.S. in Chemistry and my M.S. from the University of Oklahoma. I completed my Ph.D. at Florida State University in 1972. My dissertation research was in the area of isolation of naturally occurring lactones from ragweeds (It's a good thing I am not allergic to pollen!). I spent two years as a Post Doctoral Research Fellow at Stanford University working on synthesis of marine steroids. While at Stanford, I worked with Professor Carl Djerassi (inventor of the birth control pill).
Biographical Information:
I spent six years on the faculty at the University of Missouri-Kansas City (home of the Fighting Kangaroos) before joining the Marshall University faculty in 1981. I have taught a wide variety of courses at Marshall including general chemistry, organic chemistry, biochemistry, various advanced courses in organic chemistry, honors seminars, and even Visual Basic programming. I was Chair of the department from 1982-1986. One of my educational activities is to perform "Chemical Magic" shows in elementary, middle, and high schools.
My research interests were originally in synthetic organic chemistry but they have gradually shifted to use of computers in organic chemistry and in chemical education. I spent a sabbatical year at the University of California, Santa Cruz (home of the Banana Slugs) working on computational chemistry projects.
My primary hobby is reading (especially science fiction and mysteries) but I do consider some of the things I do with computers to be hobby rather than work and I have been known to play the occasional computer game.
I am very active in the American Chemical Society, serving as Councilor and National Chemistry Week Coordinator for the Central Ohio Valley Section and I am a member of the Divisional Activities Committee. I am also very active in Alpha Chi Sigma, the Chemistry Professional Fraternity. I was advisor for the Marshall University chapter for many years and served as Grand Master Alchemist (National President) for this organization that has collegiate chapters on 50 campuses and professional chapters in several large cities. I am a Trustee of the Alpha Chi Sigma Educational Foundation. I participate in a number of activites at the Chemical Heritage Foundation in Philadelphia.
