Lake Quivira native at the top of this sport
PRATT — Kansan Brent Chapman has had a phenomenal year as a professional bass fisherman. The Lake Quivira resident started the 2012 season of the Bassmaster Elite Series ranked 58th in the world of bass fishing, according to the BassFan.com World Rankings. He finished the season by winning the final event on New York's Oneida Lake on Aug. 23-26. That win also landed him the 2012 Bassmaster Angler of the Year award (AOY), professional bass fishing's most prestigious honor.
As the series of eight tournaments unfolded in March, Chapman started strong with a fourth-place finish at the St. John's River in Florida. A fifth at Lake Okeechobee, Fla., moved him up to second in the AOY race. After another fifth-place finish, this time at Missouri's Table Rock Lake, he found himself at the top of the AOY list. Unfortunately, Douglas Lake in Tennessee proved to be a challenging venue, and he finished well down the list at 68th place, out of the money cut (top 50). This finish dropped him to third in the AOY standings, 40 points behind the new leader.
Apparently determined to erase the sour taste of a poor finish after three consecutive top fives, he rebounded to dominate the next contest on Louisiana's Toledo Bend, taking the lead on the second day and never relinquishing it. It was his first Elite Series win and fourth win of his 17-year career.
Chapman continued with a string of high finishes, logging a 22nd at the Upper Mississippi River, then a 27th at Lake Michigan's Green Bay. This put him back atop the AOY points race going into Lake Oneida.
The AOY award not only netted Chapman $100,000 but ensures him of a string of future endorsements. And he has already qualified for the 2013 Bassmaster Classic Tournament, the Super Bowl of bass fishing. That event will be held much closer to home next year, at Grand Lake, Okla.

10 Reasons NOT to Add Podcasts to Your Blog
You really shouldn't try podcasting. Why bother? Tech-savvy youngsters are the only ones downloading files from iTunes. And, that's exactly what you should believe. Please ignore reports from comScore Networks that indicate 35-54 year olds makeup a sizable portion of podcast listeners.

Monster Engery X-Raid Mini Cooper - Dakar Dominator - Masterpiece In MetalPosted in Features on June 9, 2014
After spending almost a month in South America following the race, we can easily say the Dakar rally is the toughest on the planet. For 2014, it spanned 5,625 miles, racing through Argentina and Chile. Stretched over 13 stages with one rest day, many would say it was one of the hardest Dakars ever. Long stages, extreme heat, and tough terrain led to half of the 432 entrants dropping out.
While most teams hope to just finish, one has become adept at winning. With three victories in the last three years, the Monster Energy X-raid MINI team has absolutely dominated Dakar. Not only have they taken three consecutive wins, X-raid's unique MINI racers have populated most of the top spots of the rally as well. The 2014 running of the Dakar was no different: Nani Roma won the epic marathon rally. Following him were the MINIs of Stephane Peterhansel in second and Nasser Al-Attiyah in third. In fact, seven of the top 10 spots were filled by MINIs, making yet another extremely strong showing by the Monster Energy X-raid team.
Some mistakenly consider the Monster Energy X-raid MINI team to be new, but that is not 100-percent accurate. While the MINI Dakar racer itself is fairly new—introduced in 2010—the rest of the team has been around since 2002, when it was founded by Sven Quandt. Many of its members even predate its formation and were originally part of Mitsubishi's factory Dakar efforts. X-raid didn't simply show up and start winning races, but rather, its success is the result of lots of experience and hard work.
All of that experience has been put into Nani Roma's Dakar winning Monster Energy X-raid MINI seen here. An evolution of the BMW X3s the team used to race, the MINIs are an improvement in every area of performance. They are faster, handle better, stop quicker, and are more capable in every way. Three years of Dakar wins have proven that.
While speed and performance are always virtues all forms of motorsports strive for, perhaps the most underrated is reliability. For a race of extreme length like the Dakar, it is an absolute must. With no chase vehicles or pit support allowed, it is even more important. Demonstrating that X-raid's MINI is indeed a well-designed, sorted, and extremely reliable platform is that all 11 of the MINIs entered in this year's Dakar finished, with seven of those in the top 10. All told, the Monster Energy X-raid MINI team had zero terminal mechanical failures in almost 62,000 race miles at this year's Dakar, an unheard of feat in any form of motorsport.
We were lucky enough to be able to roll Nani Roma's Dakar-winning MINI into our studio during a rare visit stateside. Although there is plenty we weren't allowed to photograph, let's take a look at what we were able to in a very special Masterpiece in Metal.

Yes, this is Jared Leto. Yum.
(Photo of the "Hurricane" video via VH1)
Most of you know (or have figured out from that smoking hot book cover up there in the right hand corner) that I write erotic romance. And specifically I write in a subgenre of erotic romance--BDSM erotic romance.
What is BDSM? For those of you who aren't quite sure...
From Wikipedia (because they can summarize better than I can):
BDSM is a continuum of erotic practice and expression involving the consensual use of restraint, intense sensory stimulation, and fantasy power role-play. The compound acronym, BDSM, is derived from the terms bondage and discipline (B&D or B/D), dominance and submission (D&S or D/s), and sadism and masochism (S&M or S/M). BDSM includes a wide spectrum of activities, forms of interpersonal relationships, and distinct subcultures.
For those of you that are already eroRom readers, I'm sure you don't bat an eyelash that I write in this genre. BDSM is a huge, highly popular subgenre in erotic romance. But for those of you who haven't read much in the genre, the idea of BDSM may be a bit intimidating or too "out there." Images of leather-clad people wearing heavy eyeliner and dog collars may flit through your mind. You may be thinking, "Why on earth would I want to read about that? And how can this be a romance novel?"
But believe me, the types of stories in this subgenre run the gamut. If you want the extreme, it's out there. But also out there are stories about every day people who happen to like things a little (or a lot) edgier in the bedroom. Characters who discover that something about this kind of relationship with another person feeds something inside them.
This is not a case of--oh hey, let's throw in some handcuffs and call this book BDSM. These stories are about people who on some soul deep level crave things like power exchange in the bedroom. Or at least that's how I write my characters. I write from the perspective that this is part of who they are--either because of life experiences or genetics or whatever. (*sings Lady Gaga's "Born This Way"*)
For instance, my heroine in CRASH INTO YOU, discovers she likes being sexually submissive early on in her adulthood, but then she's brutally attaked and raped. Now, ten years later, she's terrifed of giving control to someone else, yet the part of her that craves sexual submission is still in there. She's just tamped it down because even the thought of it sends her into a panic attack. (Of course this means I--evil author--had to put her in a position where she had to face that fear.)
But she's not some alternative character that only people in the BDSM lifestyle could relate to (though there would be nothing wrong with it if she was.) She's a smart, successful social worker with a "normal" life. If you've never read erotic romance and you pick up my book, it's not going to feel like some "out there" genre. It's going to read like a romance because that's what it's about--love. (Don't believe me? You can read chapter one here.) Of course, there will be super hot sex scenes that include things you won't find in a non-erotic book, but hello--who wants to miss out on that? :)
So if you've never read "this kind of book", I encourage you to try it and not be intimidated. You will find more of the familiar than unfamiliar in them. (Here's a suggestion for what to try if you've never read BDSM romance.) And you never know, it may give you some ideas to try out with your own significant other. ;)
Oh, and because it's now in my head, a little Gaga for you...
So, are you an erotic romance reader? Have you read a BDSM story before? If so, what are some of your favorites? If you haven't read one, are you at all intimidated by the genre? What would make you give a book in this genre a shot?

Rebecca Traister covers women in politics for Salon.com. Her new book, "Big Girls Don't Cry: The Election That Changed Everything for American Women," takes us through the mixed pain and triumph of the women who made headlines in the 2008 presidential election. Recently I had a chance to talk to Traister about her book.
Q. I'm kind of embarrassed to admit that until I read your book I didn't even think about the fact that when Hillary Clinton won the New Hampshire primary she became the first woman in history to win a US presidential primary contest. Did Hillary's story kind of get buried in the 2008 election coverage?
Think about the fact that no one told you that – before me! How stunning is that?
The story of Hillary as a historymaker was without a question buried during 2008. But I should qualify that and say that in part it was buried by Hillary. And we can't leave that out of the equation. Most people now are critical of Mark Penn [Clinton's campaign adviser] and I am, too. But the advice that he was giving her, which was essentially to de-sex herself, was not out of line with historic experience and expectation about how you run female candidates. What those who have run have done historically is to present themselves as tough, avoid mentioning their own femininity or selling it at all costs and this is what we saw Hillary do. And part of that meant not making a big deal about the fact that she was the first woman candidate. [That strategy] gave a lot of us permission not think about the tremendous historical role that she was playing, and let me tell you, the media took advantage of that permission like nobody's business. There was no acknowledgment.
Q. Somewhere down the line – maybe when we have our first woman president – will that be when historians will look back and say, "You know, Hillary Clinton really deserves a lot of credit"?
Without a doubt. And I think we're hearing about it now, too. The conversations we're having now about gender and politics in the midterm elections are very different from the conversations we were having during Hillary Clinton's candidacy, and even different from the ones we were having during Sarah Palin's candidacy. Many of them are dismaying in many ways, depending on how you'd like to see women depicted on the stage, and there are many troubled candidacies, but what we are seeing is the expansion of number of models for how women can present themselves in political life. And while it can be maddening, infuriating, it is also how we're going to get toward gender equality in politics. And that is coming straight off Hillary's campaign.
I'm of the opinion that Hillary Clinton still could be our first female president. But if it's not she, it certainly will be somebody who has Hillary to thank for it.
Q. During the 2008 campaign there were such marked differences between the way Hillary Clinton was treated and the way Sarah Palin was treated. Was that due to a beauty bias – and might it have worked the same way between two male candidates?
We would not have seen the same things at work between two men. But that's not to say that men escape an aesthetic scrutiny. We still talk about John Kennedy beating Richard Nixon in a [1960 presidential] debate because Nixon sweated his way through it. You saw John Kerry get into a flap about Botox during his 2004 campaign. You saw John Edwards get called the Prell girl for his expensive haircuts. We cannot behave as though men don't get examined for these things, too. However, we can point to the differences between the ways that these conversations take place. It's important to note that when a male candidate's looks get criticized it's often in a way that feminizes him. That's a crucial difference.
I was not as horrified by the fact that we were discussing what Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin were wearing as by the way in which it was being discussed. Many people just thought, "Oh, we shouldn't talk about it at all." I understand that argument but I just don't think that it's realistic.
I was perfectly willing to have conversations, for example, about how Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin were dressing and part of those conversations involved being critical of some of the angles that people were taking. For example, when you talk about Hillary's cackle or when Rush Limbaugh worried about how many lines were on her face or when there was a kind of jeering about the pantsuits, that's when you can say that's where the sexism comes in. [And there was] a sort of point-and-hoot festival of making fun of Sarah Palin and how much she was spending on her clothes. That kind of stuff is sexist and it's worth pointing out that it's sexist.
[But] I don't think that we should police [these conversations] to the extent that we're not having them. We should be having these conversations. It's just that these conversations are not always that fun.
Q. Was the 2008 election more triumphant or painful?
If you look at the story of 2008 as its own election narrative, there was a lot more pain than there was triumph. When you're talking about women, when you look back at the sexist conversations – the conversations themselves in some ways were just agonizing. However, I am of the belief that to move forward in this country, which is the ultimate triumph, to continue to progress to a state of further inclusiveness, to something closer to racial, gender, and sexual equality, you have to work through the pain. You cannot just pat yourself on the back and tell yourself that you're over these things.
So, in a sense, the amount of pain provoked by 2008 is totally salubrious for us. Because it's forcing us to get our hands dirty in a way that we might not have chosen. We might have chosen to have taken an easier path, to have pretended that these were things of the past. But we wouldn't be getting very far if we had chosen that.
Q. How about Christine O'Donnell? What do you think about her campaign? How is sexism at work there?
In a very complicated way. The stuff I saw the night she won the primary – which is, guys on the news pointing and laughing – I found myself so taken aback by that. I sort of wanted to say, look guys, if somebody had asked you yesterday if this woman had a chance you would have said no. And she's just proved you wrong. So why is it that you're laughing at her?
There is no question, I think, objectively speaking, that Christine O'Donnell is a terrible candidate. She is unprepared. She is not particularly engaging, experienced, or articulate on the subjects with which she is presented on the campaign trail. Her politics, to my mind, are horribly conservative, terribly conservative. There is no question that she deserves an enormous amount of criticism. However, the way her gender has had an impact on this is the national obsession with her shortcomings. Let me tell me, around this country right now, there are lots of male candidates who are unprepared, inarticulate, inexperienced, young, and ill-suited to the jobs they are running for and we don't know any of their names. We have national cameras in Delaware, where Christine O'Donnell, who is hugely behind in the polls, is a candidate in a comparatively small state and yet she has somehow became this figurehead for women in politics.
Q. When you look at the midterm elections, which female candidates are you excited about?
Alex Sink [Democratic candidate for governor in Florida] I feel very excited about. I think she's just a fabulous candidate. Both of these women are on the line, but Patty Murray [incumbent Democratic candidate for US Senator from Washington State] and Barbara Boxer [incumbent Democratic candidate for US Senator from California] are terrific candidates. And I've been very excited about Krystal Ball [Democratic candidate for Congress from Virginia]. She is 28 years old and she has had a totally fraught campaign.
Q. As an author, what did you most hope that readers would take away from your book?
I want those people who lived through the 2008 election – and in many cases suffered through it, on one end or the other – to think about the history that we all made and we all witnessed. I really want those of us who were pained by it or who were exhausted by it to understand the way that living through that election changed our country. Because I believe it did.

CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. - Southeast Missouri's Bobbi Jo Schlick put the Redhawks on the board in the third minute of the game, and that's the way it would end as the Tennessee Tech soccer team fell to SEMO 1-0 in Ohio Valley Conference action on Sunday.
Tech goalkeeper Kaitlyn Thacker had four saves in the contests, but the Golden Eagle offense couldn't find the back of the net, as Tech finished with just one shot on goal.
SEMO finished with 12 total shots, while Tech had eight. The Golden Eagles fall to 4-10-3 overall on the season, and 3-2-2 in OVC play. The Redhawks improve to 7-5-1, and 2-1-1 in the OVC.
Jen Hoffman had two shots for Tech, and Leigh Heffner, Jacquie Watkins, Kris Cambron, Kerri Reid, Andrea Meloff and Brittany Rogers each had one. SEMO got three shots from Schlick, Ashley Runion and Hayley Abbott. Redhawk goalkeeper had one save in the shutout.
The Golden Eagles will wrap up OVC play on Oct. 23 when they travel to Jacksonville State. Tech will visit Lipscomb on Oct. 27 for a non-conference match up to wrap up the regular season. The OVC tournament will be Nov. 5-8, hosted by the league's regular season champion.

Christmas Decorations Bring In All That Holiday Cheer
No holiday is as closely tied to seasonal decor as Christmas. Miniature sleighs and tiny mangers line our mantelpieces, while snowman-adorned plates and other holiday décor items make even simple things fun. Kids love to bake reindeer-shaped cookies (while adults use reindeer-shaped wine glass charms). Between gilded tree skirts, glowing candles and enough wreaths for every door, we've got festive adornments that would make even Santa and his elves proud.
Holiday decorations aren't just for Christmastime, though. There's Father's Day, Mother's Day, Easter and Halloween. There's Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Thanksgiving and the Fourth of July. And who could forget about New Year's Eve, Valentine's Day and Memorial Day? At JCPenney, we know that everyone holds different holidays near and dear to their hearts, which is why we line the shelves with decorations that fit every season - and every family. Because why create magic just a few times a year? With our wide selection of cute, interesting, quirky and creative knick-knacks, there won't be any shortage of holiday decorations ever!
It's not just about the decorations--it's also about giving. Explore our wide assortment of creative and fun holiday presents at our gifts department!

Joe Hockey has tried to soothe concerns about another rise in the pension age by saying it will be well into the future.
But an increase at some point is inevitable.
While the treasurer stopped short of confirming a pension age increase to 70 would form part of his first budget on May 13, he says there must be a change to the discriminatory attitudes that often prevent older workers from keeping or finding work.
"We should also not see someone's life ending when they turn 65 or 70, they should work as long as they can," Mr Hockey told ABC Radio on Thursday.
He will release the much-awaited commission of audit next Thursday, but unveiled some of its findings in a speech this week.
The commission notes the 15 largest and fastest growing programs are in welfare, health, education and defence - in most cases growing considerably faster than the economy.
Mr Hockey hinted at cuts across the board in what he described as his 10-year budget plan, adding that a greater reliance on means testing and co-payments could be on the way.
New Liberal NSW Treasurer Andrew Constance told reporters in Sydney that Labor had a field day with the country's credit card, and "everyone is going to be required to contribute".
But Mr Hockey said the heaviest lifting will be done by those who "have the capacity".
Welfare groups were sceptical.
Australian Council of Social Service chief executive Cassandra Goldie agrees Australia faces a significant fiscal challenge.
"But all the signs are that people at the very bottom of the income and wealth scale are to be asked to carry the overwhelming burden of the budget repair job," Dr Goldie said in a statement.
Opposition finance spokesman Tony Burke dismissed the treasurer's warnings of spiralling government spending costs, saying the audit's information is not new.
"Countries that have triple-A credit ratings are not in the midst of a budget crisis," Mr Burke told ABC Radio.
Australian Greens senator Richard Di Natale, who chaired a Senate inquiry into the process of the commission of audit, said the review was a smokescreen for government cuts.
"It's an opportunity for the government to have some cover to make changes that it has been keen to make for some time," he said.

Ravens running back Ray Rice had 12 carries for 78 yards and a touchdown in the first three quarters of the 23-20 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, but he did not touch the ball on their offensive eight plays in the fourth.
In the past, offensive coordinator Cam Cameron has been criticized for not using Rice enough -- my colleague Mike Preston did it again after Sunday's loss -- so he had an answer ready for reporters on Thursday.
"That's our own fault," he said, interrupting a reporter midway through a question about Rice's workload. "It's our job on offense to convert on third down. If we convert on third down, we are out there for, hopefully, another three downs. When you don't convert on third down, you aren't going to be out there. Our guys know we need to do a better job of converting on third down. Then you get more opportunities."
Cameron then argued that the lack of opportunities is the main reason why Rice, who has carried the ball 198 times in 12 games this season, is on pace for 264 carries, which would be his lowest total since 2009.
"Percentage-wise, Ray has had the ball more this year than other years," Cameron said. "But we haven't had as many opportunities. And right now, that's our own undoing. That's something that we have to get fixed right here in December, and I'm confident that we will."
We crunched the numbers, and the Ravens are on pace to run 1,010 plays this season, which is not significantly lower than recent seasons. They ran 1,036 plays in 2011, 1,018 plays in 2010, and 1,014 plays in 2009.
Here is a quick breakdown of those numbers:
2009 season (actual)
Ravens offensive plays: 1,014
Rice carries/catches/touches: 254/78/332
Percentages of plays he touched the ball: 32.7%
2010 season (actual)
Ravens offensive plays: 1,018
Rice carries/catches/touches: 307/63/370
Percentages of plays he touched the ball: 36.3%
2011 season (actual)
Ravens offensive plays: 1,036
Rice carries/catches/touches: 291/76/367
Percentages of plays he touched the ball: 35.4%
2012 season (prorated)
Ravens offensive plays: 1,010
Rice carries/catches/touches: 264/65/329
Percentages of plays he touched the ball: 32.6%
Technically, Cameron's statement wasn't accurate, but Rice's usage percentage is in the same neighborhood.
Asked about Sunday's game, Rice said Wednesday that he wanted to get "smart" carries, acknowledging that opponents often center their gameplans on stopping him. A day later, Cameron praised Rice for being a "team guy" and not demanding the ball if opponents are putting nine guys in the box to smother the run.
"If there are nine or 10 guys in there, there isn't a running back in this league that wants the ball, and he knows when he's being doubled- and triple-covered in the passing game," Cameron said. "The key for us is making sure when we don't give the ball to him we are executing with other guys. … The key is getting more snaps. How do you get more snaps? Convert more on third down. Then not only are we going to continue to win, but then it's going to look the way and feel the way that everybody wants it to look and feel."

Head of Mexican Drug Cartel Killed by Authorities
(MEXICO CITY) -- The Mexican Navy said Tuesday that it had confirmed via fingerprints and photographs that the man killed by Marines in a Sunday shootout was Heriberto Lazcano, aka The Executioner or "Z-3," the feared leader of Mexico's violent Zetas drug cartel.
"The photographic images of the criminal ... show that the physical features coincide with those of Heriberto Lazcano Lazcano," said the Navy in a statement. The Navy released two pictures of a dead man in a black, dirt-covered shirt on an autopsy table who resembles known photos of Lazcano.
The Navy also said that three fingerprints taken from the right hand of the dead man matched Lazcano's prints in a database.
The body, however, has now gone missing from the funeral home where it was taken. According to Homer Ramos Gloria, the attorney general of Coahuila state, the bodies of Lazcano and a man who died with him were stolen by armed men a 2 a.m. Monday morning.
The 37-year-old Lazcano, a deserter from the Mexican Special Forces, helped found the Zetas as the security wing of the Gulf Cartel, then the dominant drug organization in eastern Mexico, more than a dozen years ago. Members took aliases that combined the letter Z with a number representing their rank. Lazcano became known as Z 3. Other nicknames included El Lazca and the Executioner.
The Zetas, who recruited from the ranks of the military and law enforcement in Mexico and Guatemala, quickly established a reputation for brutality. They massacred civilians and publicly displayed severed heads and corpses marked with Zs to intimidate rivals.
The Zetas eventually went into business for themselves, and now control the drug traffic in much of northern and eastern Mexico, fighting with the Sinaloa cartel for national dominance. Law enforcement officials, however, have said that in recent months a split had developed between Lazcano and fellow Zetas leader Miguel Trevino Morales, AKA Z 40 or El 40. According to some reports, Trevino, who has a more violent reputation than Lazcano, has seized control of the cartel.
George Grayson, a professor of government at the College of William and Mary and the co-author of a new book about the Zetas, speculates that Trevino Morales may have shared information with U.S. authorities to get better treatment for his brother, who is in U.S. custody. He notes that Zetas operative "El Taliban" Velazquez Caballero, who was captured by the Marines in September, has already accused "El 40" of betraying some of the Zetas' local bosses.
Grayson says that the apparent death of Lazcano benefits three parties: the Marines, who have scored a string of recent successes against kingpins; Trevino Morales, who emerges as the "uncontested" leader of the Zetas; and "El Chapo" (Shorty) Guzman, the head of the Sinaloa cartel, the Zetas' main rival.
"The big winner is El Chapo," says Grayson, "whose primary goal is taking over Nuevo Laredo, the home base of 'El 40,' with the help of the Gulf Cartel." Grayson warns of increased violence as the Zetas battle the Sinaloa Cartel and the Gulf Cartel for control of the city.
Grayson also says this would not be the first time that the Zetas have liberated the body of a fallen comrade. In 2007, they smashed open a grave in Veracruz to recover the corpse of Roberto Carlos Carmona, who was shot to death during a fight over a horse race.
Mexican authorities said that Lazcano was killed on Sunday afternoon during a gunfight on a baseball field in Progreso, a town in Coahuila state 80 miles from the Texas border.
According to the Navy, a convoy of Marines was responding to reports of armed men when it came under attack. Men in a moving vehicle threw grenades at the Marines. The Marines returned fire, killing two suspects.
Officials later identified one of the bodies as Lazcano. Authorities say they found guns, ammunition, grenades, and a rocket launcher inside the vehicle.
The U.S. had offered $5 million for Lazcano's head, while the Mexican government had offered a $2.3 million reward of its own.
On Saturday, Mexican Marines captured another Zetas leader named the Squirrel, who helped run the organization in three Mexican states bordering Texas. Officials have linked Salvador Alfonso Martinez Escobedo to more than 200 deaths, including the murder of American jet skier David Hartley on a border lake in 2010. He was arrested in Nuevo Laredo along with several other alleged Zetas soldiers.

SARASOTA, Fla. — On the eve of the first full workout of the spring, Orioles second baseman Brian Roberts stood in front of his locker and gave one of the first proclamations of camp.
Roberts, who has been limited to 115 games over the past three seasons by various injuries, was asked about the logjam at the position he once manned on an every-day basis.
"I still feel like, barring anything else, I don't mean any disrespect to anyone, but I still feel like I'm our best option," Roberts said about the starting second base job. "I still feel like I can provide a lot to this team."
After a season in which five Orioles saw time at the position, manager Buck Showalter agrees. If Roberts is healthy, he's the man, but the question of who will be the Opening Day starting second baseman is still among the most intriguing of spring training.
In the offseason, the Orioles claimed Alexi Casilla off waivers from the Minnesota Twins. He will compete for playing time at second base, as will Ryan Flaherty, a Rule 5 pick last year who started at the position in three of the six playoff games.
Showalter said if Roberts is healthy, he's the starting second baseman. And Roberts was a full participant in the first full workout of spring training Saturday for the first time in three years. After battling a back injury, multiple concussions and offseason hip and sports hernia surgeries, Roberts feels healthier than he's been since he played 159 games in 2009.
"Coming into this spring, I was planning on Robby being able of doing what he's capable of doing," Showalter said. "If he's healthy, I expect him to do that for us. He'd be the first to tell you, some of those challenges he's had, I don't think he's planning on anything but being healthy and being our second baseman. I respect that. I know that's how he came in here. He wants to get us a reminder of how good a player he is and what a contributor he is for us."
Roberts, however, hasn't played in more than 59 games in a season since 2009. He's also in the final year of a four-year, $40-million contract.
Casilla, 28, was the Twins' starting second baseman three of the past four seasons, but he has never played in more than 106 games in his seven years in the big leagues. He said he was shocked when Minnesota placed him on waivers in October. The Orioles, craving a solid second base option with speed, quickly claimed him.
"As soon as I was picked up by the O's, I knew they had Brian," Casilla said. "But right now, I don't know what's going to happen. I just do what I do and be ready, be ready for everything. I'm really excited though."
Showalter said Casilla will see time at shortstop and third base, signaling that he could be the team's reserve utility infielder if Roberts remains healthy.
Orioles executive vice president Dan Duquette lauds Casilla's range at second base — his 5.33 range factor per nine innings ranked first among American League second baseman last year — and his base-stealing ability. He's been successful on 88.75 percent of his steal attempts in his career (71 steals in 80 attempts) and stole 21 out of 22 bases in 106 games last season. The Orioles stole just 58 bases last season, fewest in the majors.
Those are two areas — team defense and base stealing — that the Orioles have dedicated their offseason to improving.
Casilla also had a strong offseason in the Dominican winter league, recording a .289/.349/.428 lines and stealing 7 of 10 bases in 37 games.
Showalter said Saturday that there could be a situation where a healthy Roberts, Casilla and Flaherty make the team, but Flaherty would make the 25-man roster out of camp based on his own defensive flexibility, namely his ability to play three different infield positions and in the outfield.
Flaherty, 26, had to remain on the team's 25-man roster last season as a Rule 5 draft pick. And by the end of the season he was platooning with the since-traded Robert Andino for the starting second base job.
He played five positions in the field, but made 25 of his 42 starts at second base. After a second-half disabled list stint that included a lengthy rehab assignment in the minors, Flaherty seemed to get more comfortable with the major league game — showing better range and more discipline at the place — but he does have options and can be sent to the minors this season.
"I don't want to hold his versatility against him," Showalter said of Flaherty." I think Ryan Flaherty has a chance to be an everyday player and contributor. If you put his numbers over the at-bats and look at his background, he's got a chance to be an everyday player at a couple of positions, really, three or four. I'd love to be able to settle in with him.
Flaherty also hit seven homers in 164 at bats, including the postseason, last year, showing the ability to hit for power.
"I came back and got some at-bats here," Flaherty said. "I got into a groove, and I definitely felt good coming back from that. Last year was not only my first year with the Orioles, but it was my first year in big league camp in general. That makes it easier."
It makes for an intriguing plot line at second base this spring, but it will all revolve around the health of the 35-year-old Roberts. Because of the World Basebal Classic, this year's spring training is longer, and Roberts sees that working in his advantage.
"I just need to play," Roberts said. "That's going to be the biggest thing, to just get out there. I'm excited to have a full spring. I told Buck, 'I want to play, I want to play a lot.' He said, 'I'm not going to kill you,' but I said, 'I want to play.' I want to get game action. That's the only way to get where you want to be physically and mentally and emotionally, to get out there and play and have some success and feel confident in your body and everything else that's going on."
If Roberts, who played in just 17 games last season, can recapture some form of his best years — when he averaged 46 doubles and 35 steals from 2003 to 2009 — he will quickly quell any debate.
"I still feel like the guys in this room want me out there and know I can provide something," Roberts said. "That's the way I approach it. I approach it every day that I'm going to be the second baseman until they tell me something else."

ASHEVILLE, N.C., Feb. 13, 2013 - The U.S. Forest Service National Forests in North Carolina today unveiled the Nantahala and Pisgah National Forests Non-motorized Trail Strategy report. The report is available online on the Forest Service's NC Trails Strategy webpage.
"Thanks to the hard work of numerous partners and Forest Service staffers, the agency has a report that helps to identify objectives for an environmentally, socially and financially sustainable trail system for non-motorized uses in the two national forests," said Kristin Bail, forest supervisor of the National Forests in North Carolina. "The report also identifies issues that should be addressed in order to provide diverse and quality trail experiences into the future."
The report provides information on trail complexes in the Nantahala and Pisgah national forests and summarizes recommendations from stakeholders. The report includes comments from each ranger district on recommendations from the public. Additionally, the report identifies sources of funding, such as grants, which could be used to help maintain trails.
While no decisions on specific trails are being made at this time, the report will serve as a guide for future trail management in the two national forests. The report will be helpful in formulating desired conditions for trail management in the Nantahala and Pisgah National Forests management plan, which is in the process of being revised.
The Trail Strategy process began in 2010 with Forest Service personnel updating the agency's database of non-motorized NFsNC trails by verifying location and condition of the existing trail system.
In 2012, the Forest Service held multiple public meetings in all six districts of the Nantahala and Pisgah national forests. During the public meetings, trail enthusiasts and others with knowledge of non-motorized trails in North Carolina had a chance to provide input in the transparent and inclusive process. Organizations that promote nature-based tourism also played a role in development of the Non-motorized Trail Strategy.
During working meetings, collaborators shared the types of trail experiences they enjoy. They also looked at larger landscape and recreation issues to see how existing trails fit on national forest and non-forest lands. Partners explored connectivity of the national forest trail system with surrounding communities, county greenways, and other federal, state and local trail systems. Also, recommendations were provided on volunteer recruitment, training and project management
The Nantahala and Pisgah national forests have close to 1,600 miles of non-motorized trails. Millions of people visit the two national forests every year.

Focused research on student construction of personal learning environments has given me the opportunity to sit back and watch learning from a process perspective. What processes do students go through when constructing personal learning environments?
The model above reflects the research findings. If you compare this version to the older Networked Student diagram, you see the shift from tools to processes.
As with a flowchart, the rectangles represent processes. The diamonds represent decisions. The student (or the student in collaboration with the teacher) decides which tools to use to support the learning processes.
Some processes in the diagram are not supported by tools, especially in the areas of learning and practicing digital literacy and responsibility. If we truly wish to empower learners and provide our students with the skills necessary to become independent networked learners, then direct instruction is critical and necessary in all five categories. I view the holes in this diagram as the teachable moments, as verification that teachers can be the facilitators of personal learning. Through direct instruction, we can teach our children how to fish, then step back and learn as much from them as they learn from us.
To ponder:
- What do you think about the relationship between direct instruction and personal learning?
- Do you see areas on the diagram that require teacher intervention?
- How many of our secondary and post secondary students are equipped to construct effective personal learning environments?
- What would you add to this diagram?

People Magazine Subscription Review
I love working in entertainment and I love magazines. When I get a few minutes to sit down and relax, one of the first magazines I grab is People. Part of the beauty of People Magazine is that it allows me to get completely immersed in a story, but also I can also finish reading each article quickly. So when those inevitable distractions do come about, I can put the magazine down, deal with the problem and easily get back to my reading.
People magazine has the perfect mix of celebrity coverage and human interest stories. The articles really do have mass appeal; we always leave the issue on the coffee table and almost everyone who comes to our home picks it up and flips through. The magazine's coverage is so vast that it really can be enjoyed by anyone.
Other magazines have sensational headlines, which are obviously an attempt to get people to buy their product. People is different. The information seems more factual, and quotes are always from a real person, not "a source close to the couple." People Magazine simply tells a story, many times in the voice of the subject, and often providing perspective that can't be found other places in the media.
And of course, the photographs in People are great to look at too. They are usually accompanied by cleverly written blurbs which explain the photo while also informing the reader about what each celebrity is up to, whether it be filming a movie or enjoying a Hawaiian adventure. It is aspirational, without being obnoxious.
The section called "Heroes Among Us" is aspirational in a different way. It showcases regular people who do extraordinary things. When I read this section, I am often inspired to become a better person.
Most importantly, I feel that I can trust People Magazine. I don't doubt that the information they are giving me is accurate. I value the recommendations they provide, whether it be in fashion or book and movie reviews. Somehow, People Magazine has become the voice of a friend.
If you're looking for a good read that covers this wide range of celebrity and human interest stories then I definitely suggest checking out the current People subscription offers at Magazines.com.

The New Orleans Saints have been without a defensive coordinator since Sean Payton dismissed Steve Spagnuolo on Jan 24. That might be about to change.
According to NFL.com's Gil Brandt, Payton is close to deciding on Spagnuolo's replacement.
I'm hearing Rob Ryan and Romeo Crennel are @Saints top DC choices to run 3-4.- Gil Brandt (@Gil_Brandt) February 5, 2013
After firing Spagnuolo, Payton said in a statement that the Saints were switching to a 3-4 alignment. Rob Ryan ran the 3-4 during his two-season run as defensive coordinator with the Dallas Cowboys. His fondness for the scheme reportedly played a part in the end of his short-term marriage with the St. Louis Rams, who run a 4-3.
Romeo Crennel ran the 3-4 in prior coordinator roles with the Kansas City Chiefs and New England Patriots.
Whoever gets the job has a lot of work to do. Though the defense improved as a whole in the second half of the 2012 campaign, the Saints set the NFL record for most yards allowed this season with 7,042. The unit was 31st in scoring defense, giving up 28.4 points per game.
UPDATE: Ryan has emerged as the favorite for the Saints job, NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reported Tuesday on NFL Network's "NFL Total Access."
According to Rapoport, Crennel's candidacy never quite got going once Ryan became available.
That meshes with the latest update on the Saints' search from The Times-Picayune's Larry Holder. Holder reported Tuesday night that the Saints have two interviews lined up; University of Georgia defensive coordinator Todd Grantham is set to interview on Thursday, while Ryan will interview Friday.

The Commission on Higher Education is expected to adopt in June two reports that together will guide the future course of higher education in New Jersey.
New Jersey's Plan for Higher Education: 1999 Update and New Jersey's Higher Education Restructuring Act: Five-Year Assessment contain complementary recommendations to move New Jersey toward its vision of higher education excellence, access, and affordability.
The statutorily required assessment of the state's higher education governance structure found the tripartite arrangement to be workable and desirable, although there are operational aspects that can be improved.
In its first five years, the tripartite structure spurred institutional autonomy, collaboration, and innovation with-in the coordinated higher education system, according to the committee of institutional presidents and current and former Commission members that drafted the report. Together, presidents, trustees, the Commission, and other partners within the higher education community made considerable progress toward state and systemwide goals.
For example, reduced state regulation enabled boards of trustees to focus on institutional goals and be more responsive to student and community needs. At the state level, the Commission and Presidents' Council worked together to improve systemwide coordination, collaboration, and accountability.
The two bodies jointly developed important policy recommendations as well as the first long-range plan for higher education since 1981. Among the successfully implemented recommendations from the 1996 plan are:
In addition to its extensive review of activities and accomplishments since the new structure was implemented in July 1994, the Restructuring Assessment Committee's draft report was informed by a survey of various higher education constituencies as well as a statewide conference on higher education restructuring.
Recommendations for enhancing the structure focus on continuing to improve communication and collaboration among the Commission, Presidents' Council, and college and university trustees, as well as among sectors and individual institutions.
Both the five-year assessment and the long-range plan recommend increased emphasis on systemwide advocacy to heighten awareness of higher education's substantial contributions to New Jersey and build support for continued investment. Both reports also emphasize the important role of trustees in the tripartite structure.
The updated long-range plan, which will be considered concurrently with the five-year assessment, renews the state's commitment to the vision for higher education excellence and focuses on specific strategies that will enable the state to achieve it.
Recognizing that access and affordability are directly affected by the amount of operating aid the state provides, the long-range plan update reaffirms the importance of achieving a balanced funding partnership for public institutions and maintaining the state's commitment to funding for independent colleges. It also seeks funding for college and universities facilities and ongoing technology costs.
In addition, the update calls upon institutions to build upon their individual areas of strength to develop regionally, nationally, and globally recognized programs. It recommends that the Commission develop funding strategies to assist institutions in their pursuit of excellence.
The Commission received extensive input on the draft long-range plan update during April and May and has incorporated many suggestions into the document it will consider for adoption on June 25. The five-year assessment is scheduled for adoption on the same day.

Students CHEER About Richard Stockton Program
Helping elementary and secondary school students to value cultural differences is part of the public service mission at The Richard Stockton College of New Jersey, where more than 750 people participated in the sixth annual statewide CHEER conference this spring.
The acronym CHEER stands for civility, harmony, education, environment, and respect. The annual conference brings students together with teachers, college leaders, community relations groups, law enforcement agencies, and others to break down cultural barriers and eradicate prejudice, violence, and bigotry.
Stockton's commitment to advancing human rights extends beyond the CHEER conference to include a Center on Hate and Extremism, established in 1996, and a Master's Degree in Holocaust and Genocide Studies.
Part of what makes the CHEER program so successful is that it is fun as well as educational. Each year, the conference incorporates a science fiction theme with interactive games that teach valuable lessons on teamwork, trust, respect, and valuing differences in a multi-cultural society. Rather than focusing overtly on racial and ethnic differences, the science fiction theme serves as a backdrop in which teams of "humans" and "extra-terrestrials" grapple with their fundamental differences.
Through games and physical activities, participants work on skills such as peer-to-peer mediation, problem-solving, and teamwork techniques, while emphasizing respect for the individual. The students also participate in small group discussions about the more down-to-earth problems students confront in their daily lives.
According to Brian Levin, founder of the Center on Hate and Extremism, the goal of the varied activities is encouraging students to work as a community toward a common goal.
"One thing we know from research on hate crime and violence is that the more kids have meaningful contact with others who are different, the less likely they are to engage violently or in a hateful manner," Levin said. "CHEER sets forth a lifetime framework for dealing with differences. It sends a message that diversity is a positive thing about America."
Interest in the daylong conference has increased each year. Stockton officials say it is difficult to accommodate all of the schools that want to participate because of the limited size of the college gym. This year, K-12 students from 36 schools throughout New Jersey participated in the event, along with college-age students enrolled at Stockton and several other institutions.
CHEER is not intended to be a one-day event that is quickly forgotten. Participants are encouraged to share the day's lessons in their home schools, and many of the districts that send groups to the conference have local CHEER clubs to further advance the principles of the program.
Dr. James E. Sulton, Jr. assumed the post of executive director of the Commission on Higher Education in early May. He comes to New Jersey from Colorado, where he was the senior academic officer for that state's Commission on Higher Education.
Much of his first few weeks on the job has been devoted to meeting with Commission members and staff, state government officials, and college presidents throughout the state. He also appeared before the Assembly Education Committee on May 20.
"I admire the quality and variety of higher education institutions in New Jersey, their strong commitment to providing access, the emphasis on teaching and learning, and the extent to which the colleges and universities are involved in economic development," Dr. Sulton said. "The institutions, and the talented leaders who guide them, are a tremendous asset to New Jersey."
Dr. Sulton said a major area of emphasis will be improving communication and strengthening the Commission's relationships with the Presidents' Council and institutional governing boards. He also plans to collaborate with the K-12 education community and with New Jersey's business leaders and organizations, building on their existing connections with higher education.
Dr. Sulton's wife, Anne, and their three teenagers will join him in New Jersey at the end of the school year.
A Word From the Commission's New Executive Director
Greetings! My first month as executive director of the Commission on Higher Education has been busy and exciting. Much of my time has been devoted to getting acquainted with the state and its higher education system, and to meeting various institutional and state government leaders. I look forward to getting around to more campuses and meeting more of you over the summer.
What I have seen in my first four weeks on the job has far surpassed my initial expectations. Certainly, I was intrigued by New Jersey's bold effort to increase institutional autonomy without sacrificing statewide coordination. Although I did my homework on New Jersey before deciding to move my family east from Colorado, I did not fully anticipate the extraordinary leadership that has engendered such a high level of collaboration, coordination, and innovation throughout the system.
I will work hard to increase communication and strengthen the Commission's relationship with the Presidents' Council and institutional governing boards. I also want to collaborate with faculty, students, and other members of the higher education community.
In addition, I deem it crucial for higher education to maintain close connections with the K-12 community as well as with business and industry. After all, none of us works in isolation – our enterprises are interdependent.
Certainly there are many challenges ahead, both for me personally, and for New Jersey's higher education system as a whole. I come to this position respectful not only of New Jersey's tremendous higher education assets, but also of what this state has accomplished. I do not seek change for the sake of shaking things up, but I am not afraid to look for a better process or outcome. I think you will find me to be both straightforward in my opinions, and willing to listen to and learn from others.
I feel well prepared to assume a leadership role in New Jersey higher education, and I look forward to being part of such a dynamic higher education community.
Thirty years ago, in the aftermath of the Newark riots, a freshman legislator named Thomas Kean sponsored legislation to expand higher education access for disadvantaged students.
Since that time, New Jersey has undergone dramatic demographic, economic, and social changes. The state's manufacturing base has given way to a highly competitive information-based economy, making access to higher education a prerequisite for economic success.
The Educational Opportunity Fund has been a key factor in opening the doors of opportunity to economically disadvantaged students. Gradually, EOF has evolved from a program primarily concerned with increasing access by addressing financial barriers into a comprehensive support program focused on improving student outcomes. Today, it is recognized as one of the nation's most comprehensive and successful state-supported efforts to increase access to higher education for disadvantaged students.
The program's 30th anniversary was marked with a series of events including a February retrospective featuring former Governor Kean and several prominent EOF alumni as well as presentations by the EOF community to the Commission and the Presidents' Council. In addition, EOF's 30 years of program success, student leadership, and professional development was the theme of the April Student Day Conference at which 466 outstanding program graduates were honored for their achievements.
The EOF program is income-based; eligibility extends up to 200 percent of the poverty level. It serves a diverse population of approximately 12,500 students. Enrollment in the program is roughly 39 percent African American, 31 percent Hispanic, 18 percent white, and 8 percent Asian.
Each of the 60 programs operating at 41 institutions is distinct. Students must meet institutional admission criteria, as well as financial eligibility. Once enrolled, they must meet the same progress and graduation standards as all other students at the institution.
EOF is a partnership between the state and the institutions. The EOF Board of Directors is appointed by the Governor to set policy, approve program regulations, and develop the annual program budget request. Institutions recruit students and administer the program, contributing an average of 58 percent of the total academic year program as well as all administration costs.
In addition to providing access and supporting success for individual students, the EOF program has proven to be a valuable seedbed for innovations adopted by the broader higher education community. For example, the EOF program successfully piloted strategies such as pre-college articulation, peer counseling and peer tutoring, student leadership development, and outcomes-based program evaluation that are now widely accepted in the mainstream higher education community.
The program remains committed to implementing best practices identified through research. These include linking assessment, developmental activities, student leadership, support services, and financial aid; creating a student-centered, family-type environment; stressing student involvement and responsibility; and active counseling, tutoring, and student monitoring. The EOF program also places a strong emphasis on civic responsibility.

The Sun's yearlong project chronicling efforts to improve Clark County's most-troubled public schools has been named the best story of the year by the Nevada Press Association.
Judges said the project, "The Turnaround: Inside Clark County Schools," "is what newspapers were meant to do." They congratulated the paper for applying long-form storytelling to a digital format, and using videos and graphics, to offer a broad review "of complex matters that are at the core of the public interest."
"If more newspapers emulated the Sun, our republic would be well served," judges concluded.
The series was notable for the access granted the Sun by the Clark County School District to drop in on campuses and spend time in classrooms, lunch areas and other areas of campus without advance notice and without an escort; to be able to speak candidly with faculty, staff and students; and watch the efforts undertaken by the schools to improve student performance.
The journalists most responsible for the series were Paul Takahashi, Leila Navidi and Dave Berns.
Brian Greenspun, publisher and editor of the Sun, thanked School District officials for allowing Sun journalists unfettered access to the campuses.
"Their confidence in the Sun, and the resulting transparency, allowed us to tell a story that didn't pull punches and has shed light on the challenges facing parents, students, teachers and our district leaders in turning around our schools and improving the future of our state," Greenspun said.
Three Greenspun Media Group publications — the Sun, Las Vegas Weekly and VEGAS INC, received a combined 94 awards in the annual journalism competition that honors the best in the business.
The honors were announced at the industry's awards banquet Saturday night at the D hotel.
The business weekly VEGAS INC won the Freedom of the Press award in its category for reporter Steve Green's coverage of the legal problems confronting Righthaven LLC, the copyright enforcement partner of the Las Vegas Review-Journal. The award is given for upholding the principles of the First Amendment and protecting the public's right to know.
The Review-Journal won the Freedom of the Press award in the urban newspaper category.
In other categories:
• Las Vegas Weekly designer Ryan Olbrysh was named the most outstanding visual journalist in Nevada.
• Sun and VEGAS INC reporter Conor Shine was one of four young journalists in Nevada designated as Journalists of Merit because of their outstanding work.
• The Sun, Las Vegas Weekly and VEGAS INC swept all eight first-place awards in the design categories, and illustrator Chris Morris won first and second place for his illustrations in the Sun and VEGAS INC.
Other first-place awards for the Sun were presented to Matt Hufman for best editorial page, Craig Peterson for headline writing, Sam Morris for photo essay, John Katsilometes for best online writing, the staff for best special section and entertainment manager Bernie Yuman for best nonstaff story.
In addition to the first-place awards for VEGAS INC that were won by Shine, Green, Chris Morris and Sam Morris, first-place plaques also were presented to the staff for its website, Richard N. Velotta for business news story, Green for business feature, Michael Squires for explanatory journalism, Delen Goldberg for news feature, Spencer Holladay for design, Sam Morris for feature photo, Steve Marcus for portrait and sports photo, Rob Langrell for special editorial section and the staff for best advertising special section.
In addition to Las Vegas Weekly's first-place awards won by Olbrysh and Katsilometes, first-place plaques were awarded to Kristen Peterson for entertainment writing; Josh Bell for critical writing; Wesley Gatbonton, with Olbrysh, for overall design; Danny Hellerman for illustration; Bill Hughes for illustrated photo; and Navidi for sports photo.
The Review-Journal won, among other categories, the general excellence and community service awards; R-J reporter Lawrence Mower was named Outstanding Journalist, and R-J photographer Jessica Ebelhar's picture of an Indycar crash was named Photo of the Year.
The Reno Gazette-Journal won first-place plaques for, among others, spot news story, feature story, sports story, investigative or in-depth story or series, and explanatory journalism.

The World Conference took place from 1-11 December at Kirpal Sagar
In Dec 2007, the project Kirpal Sagar, under the presidency of Mrs. Biji Surinder Kaur, celebrated its silver jubilee and the 75th birth anniversary of the late Dr Harbhajan Singh.
The core of the Conference was the unveiling of the Symbols on the top of the central building in Kirpal Sagar in the midst of the beautiful lake, the Sarovar. The day of the inauguration of these Symbols had been eagerly expected. Twenty- five years had passed by since the first cut of the spade had started the work for the Sarovar at the time of Dr Harbhajan Singh. The inauguration of the Symbols was the crowning achievement of years of work on behalf of Sant Kirpal Singh.
The Conference was all in all a 10 days event with a manifold scope of activities, corresponding to the multiple aspects of the Project. With regard to the spiritual base of Kirpal Sagar one field of attention was the inter-religious dialogue, as religious tolerance is a must in a growing multicultural world community. Twenty-nine invited speakers gave their presentations on Dec 9-10, the main conference days.
A further field of attention was the charity programme, which was to set a practical example: goodwill should lead to action. For that, as support for socially disadvantaged people, on Dec 1st a free 'Medical Camp' was started, which continued till January, and on Dec 6 wedding ceremonies were celebrated, sponsored by Unity of Man for the daughters of needy families.
A complementary conference programme took place on Dec 7 in Amritsar in honour of Dr Harbhajan Singh, since Sant Kirpal Singh had initiated the work for Kirpal Sagar at Nag Kalan near Amritsar at the time of Dr Harbhajan Singh, who had his residence there.
The manifold social programmes, events and presentations gave the opportunity to come together and become acquainted with people from all over the world as well as with the Indian culture. It was beautiful to see how easily people became friendly with one another without regard to creed, colour, nationality or castes.
Beside attendees from all over India, people from about twenty other nations participated: Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Netherlands, Sweden, Hungary, Belgium, Canada, France, England, Italy, Australia, Croatia, Slovenia, Romania, Paraguay, Kenya, Czech Republic, Spain, Syria, Montenegro and Bulgaria.
The inner and outer beauty of the venue Kirpal Sagar created an atmosphere that let everybody feel peace and harmony. May this spirit of the moment continue to spread throughout the world which was so easy to achieve during these days: to be good, to do good, and to be one.

Iraq on its own
Issued on: Modified:
In December 2011, the last G.I. left Iraq, ending nine years of occupation. The Americans leave behind them a profoundly divided country, beset by violence and in the grip of a political crisis. Our reporters went to meet the Shiites and Sunnis to guage the tension between the two communities.
One hundred and fifty seven US troops now remain in Iraq. Initially both the American and Iraqi governments wanted US instructors to stay until 2014 and oversee the training of the countries' security forces, but they couldn't agree on their legal status. NATO wanted immunity for its personnel, Nuri al-Maliki's government refused. The American page is definitely turned in Iraq. Now the time for a full-blown political crisis has come.
Blocked institutions
Tension is high between the Shiite government led by Nuri al-Maliki and the Iraqiya bloc, the secular opposition, supported by the Sunnis, which accuses the Prime Minister of monopolising power and is now boycotting parliament.
The pressure rose a notch just forty-eight hours after the US withdrawal. The interior minister called for a press conference during which he announced that an arrest warrant had been issued against the Iraqi vice president, Tareq al-Hashemi, a Sunni. The government says it has evidence he plotted terrorist acts. Several people described as members of his security forces appeared before the press, and gave detailed confessions about bombings and assassinations they allegedly committed on behalf of their boss. Tareq al-Hashemi is currently in Iraqi Kurdistan.
Whether this episode is a political manoeuvre or is based on genuine investigations, it speaks volumes about the political state of Iraq. It also makes any negotiations to end the crisis that much more difficult.
A country on the verge of breaking up
In the provinces of the Sunni triangle, the governors feel increasingly marginalised. According to them, the central government deliberately blocks their decisions, and denies them posts in Baghdad. On October 27th, Salah el-Din was the first of the three Sunni regions to declare its autonomy, soon followed by Diyala. The Shiite government immediately turned down these bids for autonomy.
The entourage of Nuri al-Maliki said the Sunni governors were conspiring against the government, breaking up the country, and creating a heaven for former Baathists and insurgents.
The political crisis and the bid for autonomy by Sunni provinces are causing tensions to flare between the Shiite and Sunni communities. Each side has its militia and is ready to fight - an explosive situation that could plunge Iraq into a violent sectarian war.

ChromeSpecialists necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 207 diseños de 41 diseñadores freelance.
Roadworks manufactures stainless steel truck accessories for the trucking industry. Truck drivers spend long hours on the road and many are proud of the trucks they drive. There trucks become a home away from home. In our niche market of aftermarket truck accessories we provide the chrome and lights drivers use to customize their trucks.
Our customers are primarily male truck drivers that like to customize their trucks. They often add chrome and lights to their truck to make their rig unique. Our goal is to increase the product's value perception, awareness and appeal through brand marketing.
Our B2B market is a dealer network primarily across North America but extends worldwide as well. Dealers place orders for customers and Roadworks ships the orders to the dealer. Dealers also place large inventory orders in advance prior to sale. We do not sell directly to the public.
We have already refreshed the font in-house, so the attached font must be used throughout all entries.
Three main objectives & considerations:
1] Identity Mark
We are looking for an identity mark that reflects the transportation industry (semi-trucks), chrome and lighting. I want something that is simple, yet clever and appealing as a brand. Open to all ideas and suggestions. Our product line is referred to as chrome and a majority of our products are made out of stainless steel (aka chrome).
2] Color
Color schemes used within the renderings of each logo entry are an important consideration as well. Our primary color is a royal blue (RGB: #1954a0). We are looking for a few secondary colors to spice up the brand. A color palette should also be apparent within the logo.
3] Placement
The final contestant must consider and resolve the brand identity in a positive and negative placement. For example, what it would look like on a blue background or a white background. The concept must have the ability to be placed in various control areas.
Below are the fonts and a picture of our truck. Have fun and be creative!

Hmmmm, again this week we have some great entries. As someone else stated, I too was thinking that due to the lack of early entries that people were having difficultly finding appropriate subject matter for this assignment, but that now seems not to be the case.
For me the above is my favorite, (with the hand being a close second) the lighting and composition really jumped out at me, I love the way the keyboard draws the viewer into the frame to girl's fingers which almost appear to be buried in the keys as if "melded" to them and the way that takes the viewer up to her face. One really gets a sense of Harmony and Connection, as though the musician and instrument are indeed one. the orange tint to the whole adds softness and mutes the lighting and really helps set the overall mood, one really gets the sense of the concentration of the musician and her involvement with the instrument, I can almost hear the notes being played and reverberating about the space within the shot.
Very Nicely done!
