Trans-Sylvania Epic Mountain Bike
Stage Race Returns in 2012: Central PA race sees minor
tweaks, new trails and increases fun for all riders
Race promoters Mike Kuhn and Ray Adams have
officially announced the third annual edition of the NoTubes Trans-Sylvania
Epic Mountain Bike Stage Race presented by Dirt Rag, scheduled for May 27 to
June 2, 2012 in State College. Pennsylvania.
Though there will be some minor changes next
year both Kuhn and Adams feel their general program has been highly successful,
proven by a race field that doubled in size last year compared to the inaugural
edition in 2010. Kuhn and Adams also revealed that NoTubes has signed a
three-year title sponsor deal and that DirtRag magazine has come on board as
presenting sponsor.
"We're focused on trying to milk even more
fun out of the week with small tweaks here and there,� explained Kuhn. "Overall
we will probably have a little shorter total distance for the week by about 10
to 15 miles, but the fun meter will go up a ton.�
One example is shortening the day at Raystown
Lake by about five miles. Though the trails are fun, fast and swoopy, at 40
miles last year virtually every rider, from elite pros to sportman level, felt
it was too much of a good thing. As a result the day will return to 34 or 35
miles total, in line with the much-acclaimed first year version.
Two other notable changes involve Stage 5 at
R.B. Winter State Park and Stage 6 on Tussey Ridge. Previously, the "Mini XC�
or "Super D� day contained four very short yet technical timed races with
neutral riding transfers in between - some might call this an Enduro. Though
Kuhn and Adams stand behind the format, it was becoming too long of a day so
this year it will be converted to a short cross-country at about 22 miles (look
for a return of their unique Enduro stage format in 2013 in a new location).
For Queen Tussey the next day, the event now has access to the private Kearn�s
Campground which will allow the race to finish directly across the street from
the Seven Mountains Boy Scout base camp. Another addition is a new route at the
end of Tussey Ridge of newly cut, smooth and fast singletrack that could potentially
cut off about four miles of paved road from the first two editions. Other small yet welcome changes will include
racers hitting singletrack earlier on Stage 2 and access to new singletrack
during the prologue found on the private land of one of the race support moto
Just like previous editions, Cannondale,
Kona, Jamis, NoTubes, Team CF and other notable professional teams will be
fielding elite racers gunning for top podium spots but while TSE has gained
attention for a strong professional attendance, the promoters point out this is
anything but elite focused. "We've not really done anything particular to cater
to the elite racer but are super psyched that they love what we're doing and
want to come out for it,� stated Kuhn. "Top riders want to be at the TSEpic because the whole thing is a
freakin' blast. They do what they do
because this sport is just plain awesome. They love mountain biking and the culture of our sport - same as you and
me - and we have both of those things coming out our ears at Camp TSE.
"Ray and I designed this to be doable and fun
for everyone, from those really fast folks to the men and women out there
racing expert and sport events and those who just love riding a lot or maybe
used to race,� he continued. "No, you probably won't beat Bishop, Grant, Sager,
Wicks, Sneddon, Carey, Yeager or other top pros who find TSE such a sweet way
to start their summers, but you do get to hang out with them for a week, make
friends, share war stories and relish over each day's accomplishments as they
play out on the big screen at our awards ceremony each night. They are there, accessible and having fun
just like you.�
To that end, in an effort to make TSE more
reachable to everyone the new "Trans-Sylvania Epic Experience" category
has been created with riders starting each day 60 to 90 minutes before the main
fields and covering the same distance but without the pressure of just making
the same time cuts. These riders will still be timed each day for an official
finish and will have to make a time-cut but will have a lot of extra time to do
so and enjoy the scenery a bit more. Epic Experience riders won�t be eligible for daily or GC placings but
they do get all the same swag and finisher awards - and the TSEpic is renowned
for these things. Also, the "Team� category returns again where a group of up
to five riders can mix and match which stages they want to ride, as long as at
least one member is on course each day. This category is eligible for awards
and placings. Kuhn has also promised the return of "Stage 8� on the last day,
The Three Beer Derby, won last year by Kona�s Barry Wicks.
One final benefit enjoyed by TSE is the
support of State College, PA, located about 30 minutes away. The popular home
of Penn State University boasts a large selection of hotels, restaurants, bars
and other attractions for out of state racers who want to enjoy the full
experience of the area.

Shanghai twist to tweedy MG
I can safely say that this is the first MG I've been genuinely excited about driving.
It might be a generational thing but the tweed-trimmed heritage of MG has never really grabbed me. Neither have any of the UK's other delightfully decrepit automotive institutions for that matter. I like retro. Don't really do nostalgia.
But the MG6 is an intriguing thing because it comes from China. Quite literally, because it's built there by Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation.
It has owned the rights to MG since 2007, following the collapse of Rover Group in 2005 and a complicated business conflict with another Chinese company, Nanjing Automobile Group, over who purchased what.
But let's not get bogged down in that.
Next top model
Getting straight to the point, the MG6 is a new model that will go on sale in New Zealand in October.
It comes in sedan or hatchback versions, in three levels of trim, all with a 1.8-litre turbo engine and five-speed manual gearbox.
Where does it fit?
According to Kerry Cheyne, operations manager at Auckland-based British Motor Distributors (BMD), the car has been designed to straddle both the small and medium segments: "It is bigger than a Ford Focus, smaller than a Mondeo."
In fact, it's exactly the same size as another left-of-centre contender: the Suzuki Kizashi.
More importantly, how much?
That is yet to be announced but Mr Cheyne said the entry model would definitely be under $30,000.
"We want to be competitive but we don't want to undervalue the brand. It's good for the money and it's a compelling drive: the dynamics are evolutionary. It does everything you'd expect of a modern vehicle."
In short, it's a medium-segment car with a 498-litre boot at something close to a small-car price.
The MG6 is the first new-gen MG to arrive but there are more on the way. Next year we'll see the MG3 (think Suzuki Swift) and MG5 (Corolla size), with the range completed by a crossover.
The MG6 will gain a 350Nm diesel-engine option (a SAIC-developed powerplant) and, crucially, a dual-clutch transmission.
Here and now
That's all fine. But that is for then and the petrol-manual MG6 is for now.
The manual gearbox will hold the car back in terms of sales potential but Mr Cheyne claims there is an initial wave of MG enthusiasts who will prefer it: people who might have a classic roadster in the garage but will choose the MG6 as their daily driver instead of something more mainstream.
I'm not sure how many of those people there are. I'm pretty sure BMD isn't planning on selling hundreds of MG6s, either, so perhaps it's not such a big issue at this stage.
The MG6 has been developed from a SAIC domestic market model called the Roewe 550, which in turn owes quite a bit to the previous Rover 75 and its ill-fated replacement.
Some bits are overly familiar. The engine is a version of Rover's venerable old K-series unit, for example, which can be traced back to 1988.
But the MG6 is still a well-sorted, modern-feeling car. The performance is linear, the ride and handling impressive: a nice balance between chassis comfort and responsiveness.
The MG6 is very well assembled and some of the cabin materials are impressive. Still, there are a few rookie mistakes.
The manual gearchange only has five ratios and the shift quality is terrible. The key is flimsy and rattles in the dash when you accelerate hard.
The plastic trim lower down on the centre console is weird looking, as is the handbrake.
The cupholder shoots out from the dashboard at an extreme angle and gives the front-seat passenger a wushu chop in the right knee.
When you tether your Bluetooth cellphone to the car it shows up as "Handfree." Actually, I quite like that.
Anyway, I enjoyed driving the MG6 because, despite the rough edges, there is plenty of appeal about a car that's a little outside of the mainstream.
It's a Chinese MG, a nice conversation piece (too few cars have that quality) and really quite good for the money. Quite good regardless, in some respects.
It's an MG, but it will never be a Rover. Because the rights to that name are now owned by Indian maker Tata, along with Land Rover and Jaguar. It's messy when British icons implode.
State of origin
The MG6 is a Chinese car that isn't. Mr Cheyne acknowledges that the Chinese ownership of MG and the manufacturing origins of the car will be a talking point.
He speaks highly of SAIC, which is no surprise: "It brings a hell of a lot to the table and it will push the brand to the top."
But the suggestion that the MG6 is a Chinese car still irks him.
"The motor industry is global. The head office of MG is in Birmingham and there are research and development facilities there: 300 people at the technology centre.
"There are three factories: two in China and one in the UK. They do final assembly of MG6 in the UK and we could take those cars but that would be a pointless exercise.
"Now, there's no problem with being a Chinese brand," Mr Cheyne said. "Geeley will always be a Chinese brand. Great Wall Motors has embraced the idea of being Chinese and done really well.
"But MG has been British since 1924: it's Cecil Kimber, Speckled Hen beer and all those things that MG people love. You can't change that. That's the brand, even if the manufacturing is now different."
Mr Cheyne is passionate and I do think that he makes a good point.
However, there is a problem. When I start to think of the MG6 as the latest chapter in the glorious 88-year history of a truly British brand, I start to lose interest.
What exactly is it? The first completely new right-hand model from MG under the ownership of SAIC (Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation). The Magnette name signifies the sedan version but there is also a GT hatchback.
Powertrain: 1.8-litre turbo-four producing 118kW/215Nm. Five-speed manual transmission, front-drive. Combined fuel consumption 7.9 litres per 100km, 0-100km/h 8.4 seconds.
Anything interesting in the equipment list? The top-line TSE tested here will cost at least another $5000 over the entry car but adds reversing camera, leather upholstery, power/heated front seats, dual-zone climate air conditioning, automatic lights/wipers, brake disc wiping function and a high-line audio system with colour information screen.
Price: $35,000 (estimated)
Comments and questions2
So, a car with old mechanicals and electrics, that caused Kiwi owners much grief and loss previously, now made in China, the copycat capital of the world .
Experience with Chinese product, would indcate the Chinese will not have addressed the fatal faults the English made cars had. Would not encourage me to buy one even if the price was low.

Hymotion, a division of advanced battery maker A123Systems, just emailed us to tell us that they're finally commercializing their plug-in Prius conversion module. The Hymotion L5 battery pack can be installed into any 2004-2008 Prius for just $10,000, giving it a fuel economy of more than 100 miles per gallon while the link for you buy levitra 50 mg charge lasts (30 to 40 miles). If you want to get a plug-in Prius straight from Toyota, you're going to have to wait at least three years...probably more.
{digg}http://digg.com/environment/100_MPG_Prius_Coming_in_July_Just_10K_Extra{/digg}The Plugin Conversion Modules (PCMs) will be available beginning in July and http://www.asian-americans.com/cialis-online you can reserve one right now for a measly $1000 deposit at Hymotion's website. While the cost is, frankly, a little outrageous, I won't be surprised if they sell out pretty fast. It's one thing to have the greenest car on your street...it's quite another to www.hi-net.it have the greenest car in your city.
That kind of one-upsmanship isn't going to fuel the entire EV revolution, but it will provide it a good foothold.
The L-5 PCM comes with a three-year warranty on the whole system, including the battery...which is better than nothing. But if it's going to cost me $10,000, it would be nice to know that it was going to work for longer than a few years. If you're interested, and already a Prius owner, you'll want to make sure that you're near one of the approved dealerships in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle, Boston, or Minneapolis.

But if we are simply talking carbon footprint, lacking access to Toyota's or Honda's internal data, we need to assume that, say, some percentage of the cost of a vehicle's manufacture consists of carbon input and make the calculation that way.
If I treat each $4 spent buying the car as if it were spent on gasoline (!) we get the surprising result that the Prius $10,000 modification pays for itself and its carbon footprint at around 160000 miles (at $4/gallon, anyway).
The assumed environmental impacts may be way out. LIon or NiMH batteries may be a whole lot more toxic than, say, typical parts from a Honda Civic, or not.
You can double-check my calculations here:

This does not make a "100 MPG" car
since it's discharging the battery, and the cost of recharging the battery is not taken into account.

-electric motors are more efficient than ICE
-even coal fired electricity is more effecient than an ICE for energy
- our sources of canadian viagra prices ectricity are slowly becoming greener
(electricity isnt 'green' its colourless! its the source that determines its 'shade of green'. Electricity is much more effecient,much more abundant than fossil fuels. Its main drawback is storage.)
All that being said....I would love to have a system like this (dont own a Prius thou- nor have $10k!). Its far from perfect- but a step in the right direction. We didnt pollute our environment over night- and we wont be able to purchasing 50 mg viagra on line 'green' it overnight either!

Say you drive 50 miles a day. The current gas average is 3.60 per gallon. The Prius gets 48/mpg city, 45/mpg highway. The battery sees a maximum efficiency of 100/mpg...for at best, 40 miles. You try to fill up every 10 gallons.
Without the battery, you would use up approximately a gallon a day. Every 10 days, you would fill up: 36 bucks. So in a year with those parameters, you would spend 1314 on gas.
Now with the battery.
On your average day, The battery works for 40 miles. the remaining 10 are with normal fuel economy. So the first 40 miles takes .4 gallons. The next 10 miles takes about .21 gallons. So, that's .61 gallons p/day, which equals out to 801.54 a year in gas. Also, couple that with the approximate 0.50 a day to charge it, which is 182.50 per year. Total: 984.04 per year with gas/electric costs. A grand total savings of 329.96 a year.
Great, right? Don't forget the 10k cost of the battery. 9995 plus the 400 destination fee. Not even taking into account applicable taxes, it would take you over 31 YEARS to see any gain from this thing. That's BEST CASE SCENARIO.
Course, that's assuming you still have the car after 31 years.
While I think the idea is great, they really need to work on it. The overall cost versus the actual gains make it not worth it in my eyes. As much as I would love to see a green car be greener, this is a waste of money.

If the trend with oil price rising will continue (and that what is expected) gasoline in US might go to $10 per gallon. Then the math totally change. You have to think at list 2-5 year a head.
I read sower that the OPEC will nit be surprise if the oil price go to $200 per barrel in 2008 with average price of $120. So go figure.
We have to remember that the usage of oil in US is 464 gallons per person per year on average.. but there are stated that going to more then 500).
Where in China it is 9.5 gallons per person per year.
And in India 2.35 gallons per person per year.
Just looking on this number and africa-info.org you can realized that lowering the online generic cialis 100 mg fuel prices are impassible unless the fuel in US so expensive that the people will stop driving.

Make the main drive motor an AC motor.
For now, use a clean diesel, 250cc engine for the power plant that can later be converted to peanut oil, biodiesel or hydrogen if you'd like.
Just like the government helped Detroit by giving huge tax breaks to businesses to buy a pick up or suv, the could give the general public incentives by giving huge tax breaks for those that convert their existing drive system or buy a new vehicle based on this technology.

One of the most segregated places you used to find Christian America was at church. These days, though, Sunday mornings are changing.
As one mega-church in Northwest Indiana proves, more churches are becoming diverse and the racial divide that once separated the faith is now bringing it closer together through the generations.
Family Christian Center, a non-denominational multi-cultural church, was just named the 20th largest in America -- out of 433,000 churches.
That's a success story in anyone's book. And it's where services are anything but normal. "(Pastor Steve) is willing to go to any lengths to reach everyone; I don't care who it is," one person said.
In fact, you might think you're at a rock concert or Broadway play.
Pastors Steve and Melodye Munsey say it's all by design.
"No other church my entire life has awakened me like this one has. He is great," Melodye said of Steve.
"When I decided to go into ministry," Steve said, "my prayer was God to make church a lot more interesting."
"It's a place of involvement for the entire family," Melodye said. "Parents don't have to drag their kids to church."
"We are talking about reaching this generation. They go to concerts, movies...this whole generation is driven by atmosphere," Steve explained.
His technique might be unique, but Pastor Munsey says his message of loving people and trusting Jesus has broken racial barriers, which keep people coming back each week.
"It's not just me doing a sermon," he said. "It's hundreds and hundreds. Sometimes it can be 500. I think we give hope and inspire people...of course it's all backed up biblically. When people come they're looking for assurance of, 'Can I face tomorrow?'"
Twenty-five years ago, Pastor Steve and Melodye took over for his dad. They began with just a few hundred members. These days they could see upward of 30,000 over multiple weekend services.
In fact, they've outgrown their current building and already broken ground on a new $60 million state of the art facility.
A field of weeds will become a field of dreams for the church's new 10,000-seat auditorium complete with 30 acres of parking. And it's all possible because of faithful congregants.
"Everything is done on donation," Steve said. "People see the vision and they give and that's how we have gotten to this point."
The church also attracts some high profile celebrities and politicians. One Sunday you might see R&B star R.Kelly. On another, Bulls superstar Derek Rose.
"It's nothing to look up and see people. One time I looked up and saw the Jackson family," Steve said.
But Pastor Steve isn't done yet. Not even close.
The stars might be coming out to Indiana. But the son is rising in Chicago -- Steve and Melodye's son, Kent Munsey.
Pastor Kent and his wife Alli, who also preaches, started Sunday morning services four months ago at City Church Chicago.
"I recently found out it is one of the most un-churched cities; there are less people going to church in Chicago than any other," Kent said. "I believe it's a great opportunity for me and my wife Alli to build a young, vibrant, passionate church."
Already, their explosive growth has them filling two services.
Just like his dad, Kent creates a similar atmosphere at the Chicago Performing Arts Center at Chicago and Halsted, where they worship every Sunday.
"I think a lot of people think they have to get good to get God," Alli said. "But really you need God to get good and if they would just come into the church and realize that God is for you… he's not against you."
The staff here is made completely of volunteers. No one gets paid from City Church, not even the pastors.
"I do it because of the people," Kent said. "I think there's a vision here, there's a mission here and there's a spirit of loving God and being real with yourself and growing."
Kent grew up in the shadow of his father's church. Now, he hopes his own sons will continue the legacy of building God's kingdom and changing lives.
"My hope is that we would be a light in this city, a light for good. A light that points to God and gives people hope," he said.
"The bible says that when the righteous rule, the city rejoices and I believe that God is going to use us in a great way."
One city. One church. One person and two generations at a time.
The founder of Family Christian Center, Bishop Frank Munsey, passed away on Feb. 5 at the age of 80.
Even after his son took over the church, he continued serving in the ministry as a missionary and even building a Christian school in Bulgaria.
Today his legacy lives on.

Vivek Ranadive, Mark Mastrov, Raj Bhathal, the Jacobs brothers and the zillion other new Kings owners went behind enemy lines and offered shares to one of the best entertainers in the business.
So take a bow, fellas.
Shaquille O'Neal is big news in Sacramento, of course. But Shaq is big everywhere, and not just because he stands 7-foot-1 and weighs in the vicinity of 350 to 400 pounds. His charisma weighs a ton more than that.
They love him in L.A., Orlando, New York, Miami, Central America, Europe, India. Don't forget India, especially now.
But will they love him in Sacramento? Better yet, will they forgive him in Sacramento?
Based on the results of an informal poll a very limited sample size of six or seven Kingscentric folks contacted Monday Shaq, who will be re-introduced this morning at the practice facility, is facing a hung jury in the court of public opinion.
One segment of Kings fans is delighted with his arrival and all his oversized baggage. While his specific role and sphere of influence have yet to be defined, who knows what Shaq can do for you?
Among other things, one theory goes, perhaps he can cite his credentials, point to his four championship rings and lighten the mood when the Kings stumble into that first six-game losing streak and a freaked-out Ranadive and the masses (those other 40 or so owners) threaten to fire the general manager, the head coach, the trainer, the support staff and anyone else associated with the color purple.
And who better to challenge, coax, teach and mentor DeMarcus Cousins than the biggest, baddest dude of his generation? The fact he can rap, dance, rhyme and read O'Neal has a doctoral degree advances his cause and his case.
Another percentage of fans, however, will never recover from the 2002 Kings-Lakers Western Conference finals, from the way Shaq countered the cowbells and the superior opponent with dunks, rebounds, timely free throws and almost daily verbal darts, several of which struck below the belt.
He renamed the Kings the Queens. He chided the beloved Vlade Divac for flopping. He worked the refs hard, matched Rick Adelman whine for whine in the Game 6 officiating debacle. Then, after emotionally shattering a franchise and a region and while heaving massive sighs of relief, because the best team did not win that series he summoned writers to his locker.
He wrote a poem, he said, for Adelman and the Kings. "Don't cry," he recited. "Dry your eyes. Here comes Shaq with his four little guys (teammates)."
And you wonder why in the world Ranadive and Mastrov and those zillion other Kings owners want this guy anywhere near their club or their building, the old one or the new one?
Because he is a hoot. Because he is lovable. Because he is one of the more recognizable figures in the sports world. Because he is smart and, in a goofy sense, sophisticated. And because even his detractors probably know the worst-kept secret in town: that Shaq has always had an affinity for Sacramento.
During the Lakers' frequents visits, their massive center spent his free time at the shooting range with former Sheriff Lou Blanas or schmoozing with folks at downtown restaurants, movie theaters, shops or, more often, while seated in the hotel lobby. He became so fond of the franchise, in fact, so comfortable in a small-market city that reminded him of Orlando, that he contacted the Maloofs when his relationship with the Lakers deteriorated in 2004.
The brothers and Geoff Petrie discussed and debated the possibility of acquiring the veteran center at some length, ultimately declining further talks because of his age (32), his increasing number of injuries and his onerous salary.
"I was very interested," a disappointed O'Neal told me the following season. "I don't know why they didn't come after me harder."
Well, here he comes. To those eagerly awaiting his arrival, hoping that celebrity and credibility are contagious, remember: He's a load. Stay ready.
My advice to the anti-Shaq contingent would be this: Take this for what it is. Entertainment, until we hear otherwise.

I'm proud to announce the launch of Code Studio, Code.org's new open-source learning platform designed to teach students the basics of computer science, starting as early as kindergarten.
The Code.org vision is to bring computer science to every student in every school and today marks our latest step towards that vision.
We believe passionately that every child who has an opportunity to discover the world around them through a smartphone should also be given the learning capabilities and tools to build their own app. Code Studio enables even our youngest students to learn to build a basic animation or app in elementary school, and then share it to a friend's phone within minutes.
The Code Studio tutorials enable students to cover programming topics such as repeat loops, conditionals, and functions, as well as broader concepts such as how the internet works, or the role of digital citizenship in modern society. Code Studio expands on Code.org's previous online tutorials which have already been used by over 30,000 classroom teachers and tens of millions of students. Any student can sign up for the beginner courses at http://studio.code.org.
Within Code Studio, we've developed Play Lab, where elementary students can create and send apps or animations directly to a cell phone, just by typing in the phone number. This is a first in education for kids, made possible through a collaboration with Twilio.
To help new teachers integrate the system into their classrooms, we are also launching free, one-day professional development workshops in more than 60 cities throughout the U.S., aiming to prepare 10,000 teachers to integrate Code Studio into their classrooms. Any elementary school teacher in the US can sign up for a local workshop at http://code.org/k5.
We can't wait for students to start learning with the new Code Studio. Try it out!
- Hadi Partovi
founder, Code.org

How to turn your hair color ideas into reality
We know that it can be a daunting task to choose the perfect hair color for you, that's why we have created this site to give you the latest hair color ideas.
When deciding what color you like there are many things that you need to consider: your haircut, skin tone, eye color, the season, trends, your style and the list can go on. To ease you into the hunt for the best hair colors, we have compiled a comprehensive and detailed guide right here for you! Here are some general guidelines to kick it off:
We recommend that you start looking for hair color ideas that you feel comfortable with. This is how most people go, so this is a safe ground to start with. For example, if you are blonde, you can start with shades and hues closely akin to that.
Professional help with you hair color ideas
After deciding, we recommend that you hire a professional to accomplish your hair coloring ideas. It can be very difficult to get it right especially for the first time that's why we recommend getting some expert advice. Remember to do proper research first before choosing a professional hair colorist. They can differ in prices, skill, expertise, and experience in between salons. I usually visit forums, magazine websites, fashion blogs for suggestions and salon reviews, and then I call around asking for the prices of their hair dye services. They will most likely ask your hair length before giving you a quote.
Just an additional tip, if you want a wearable color with a bit of spice here and there, you can also ask your salon of choice about highlights and lowlights. When done subtly, these little strands of surprises can level up your base hair color.
For more hair colour ideas, tips and suggestions, you can browse through our pages discussing specific guidelines for every hair color idea or click on hair coloring to know more.

mm VOLUME 5). ISSUE 48 WEDNESDAY. JANUARY 30. 1991 IGNP WEBER STATE UNIVERSITY1 Students can soon reach the STARRS Funding approved for school computer system By Sue Richey Staff writer of 7he Signpost Additional funding for the Student Accounting and Reporting System (STARRS) was approved by a narrow one vote margin Monday in an ASWSU senate meeting. STARRS runs theTouch-Tel registration system and provides other benefits which help students apply for admission, financial aid, transcripts and grades. It has helped the university cope with increased enrollment without having to hire more personnel for administrative services. As a result of the vote, the school will continue the present registration fee, but will reduce it 33 percent to S4 a quarter. Dr. Emil Hanson, director of Administrative Services, appeared before the senate on Jan. 14 to request an additional $118,000 needed for continued operation of STARRS. The senate had asked to delay the funding vote until Jan. 28 so they could poll their area councils. Matthew Weeks, residential housing senator, said, "I have talked to my area council about this and we all agreed that we can't afford not to finish the program we started. As Hanson pointed out, if we don't complete this, we will really be behind other schools."

A school day in Lithuania differs greatly A look into the lives of students at WSU's sister school By Necia Palmer Editor-in-chief of 7he Signpost Going to school in Lithuania is as different to the U.S. system as the governments of the two countries. Imagine carrying your performance record around with you, literally, every day from the time you enter kindergarten until you graduate from college. Imagine being ridiculed forthinkingofa new way to handle a problem, or just thinking on your own. Imagine going to school from 8 a.m. to 8 p:m. everyday, six days per week. If you are a regular student in Lithuania, this isn't your imagination it is reality. But the administrators of Vytautas Magnus University in Kaunas, with efforts being made to make it WSU's sister school, is trying to change this by patterning their school after international schools. This will enable their graduates to transfer their credits more easily to schools throughout the world. Lucija Baskauskas described the Communist educational system to Gary Toyn last December when Weber State sent a delegation to VMU, where Baskauskas is presently serving as pro-rector. She compared education under Communist rule to a production line, graduating a quota of students (competent or not) in each field of study. In Lithuania, each child entering into the educational system is issued a small book in which a daily grade (two being the worst, five being the best) is recorded. This book is car ried with the student until graduation. The problem with this system, Toyn said, is that there are no set rules as to what constitutes a two or a five. . . "You could be a perfect person and get a two because your father is a dissident," he said. Youths with high grades or parents rich enough to bribe administrators are admitted into the higher education system, Baskauskas said. During their finals week, students "cram" for their tests. The day of the final is spent pacing the halls until the professor calls each student in for an oral test. After responding, they are permitted to stay and observe the testing of their peers. The absence of written tests allows bribery to flourish, Toyn said. There's no proof a student's performance. Dr. Deon Greer of the WSU geography department said Soviet students read a lot more than students in the United States. European educational systems give less (See LITHUANIA page 3) y Area i enlarged r- '"y j ' tstonta y , 0 75 y ) I . 1 j Kqunas o I Soviet , Polandry nn Keith Carter. USA TODAY Have a Lithuanian pen-pal While in Lithuania, KWCR station manager, Brad Wilson, gathered the names and addresses of students at Vytautas Magnas University interested in corresponding with anyone at Weber State University. Students have listed some of their interests with their addresses. One student listed "freedom, religion, history and peace" as his interests. Other stu dents listed things such as "rock and roll dance," the feminist movement, body building, canoeing and music such as Depeche Mode and AC-DC as interests tViev would like to discuss with people at Weber State University. Anyone interested in communicating with these students can contact Brad Wilson at 626-6450 or at KWCR, located in Annex 3.

|Signpost (Weber, Utah), 1991-01-30, Vol. 51, No. 48
|Weber State University
|Associated Students of Weber State University; A generous grant from the Utah State Library and the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

For years at my old newspaper, I would make Thanksgiving more than a day to enjoy fowl and football and take the opportunity to target some music celebrities who had engaged in some sort of dopey behavior during the year – musical turkeys, if you will.
So why not continue an amusing tradition, a Thursday Riffs, if you will?
Of course, as with most lists, this one could go far beyond 10 picks. Some weeks it seems as if idiotic behavior among the well-compensated is a requirement, so feel free to tack on any additions you think belong under the "musical turkey" header and have some fun.
Also, here's wishing you a happy Thanksgiving – and thanks, as always, for reading.
10. Christina Aguilera: She, herself, is not a turkey for any reason in particular – though one could argue that her stylists certainly belong on this list – but despite her extreme exposure on "The Voice" and her undiminished vocal ability, Aguilera laid a giant turkey egg with her new album, "Lotus," which had the lowest opening sales of her career, selling slightly more than 73,000 copies. True, in today's chart world, those aren't repulsive numbers. But compared to her past – and the fact that the No. 1 seller, One Direction, moved more than half a million copies of its sophomore album the same week – it's an indication of a wobbly future on the charts.
9. Jermaine Jackson: Or, as he soon hopes you be known, Jermaine JackSUN. Yes, another day, another looney move by a member of the Jackson family – this time, Jermaine's petition to change his last name for "artistic reasons." It does not, however, guarantee an increase in relevancy.
8. Jason Aldean: With a sold-out summer tour, a hotly anticipated new album that debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 album chart and a stack of award nominations, 2012 was clearly a breakthrough year for the Macon-born country singer. And then he had to go and do something stupid like get publicly frisky with an amorous female fan (and an "American Idol" also-ran at that!). Dude, just remember: If the head of the CIA can get caught, you don't stand a chance.
7. Nicki Minaj: Supposedly instigating a nasty verbal spat with Mariah Carey on "American Idol." Picking a fight with Barbara Walters – of all people! – for chastising her behavior toward Carey on "Idol." What are you, 12? It's probably a safe assumption that Carey wasn't cowering in the corner during that reported on-set issue several weeks ago so she isn't blameless. But could you possibly imagine Keith Urban reacting to Randy Jackson in such an immature manner?
6. Bobby Brown: First there was the disruption at Whitney Houston's funeral – an incident that could keep a game of he said/she said going for months. Whatever happened or whoever is to blame, Brown's arrival and almost immediate retreat turned the attention away from the woman being memorialized, and that's a shame. Then came the first DUI arrest. And a few weeks ago, a second, to which he just pleaded not guilty. If he's convicted, he could face up to two years in jail. It's beyond time to pull it together, buddy.
5. Exorbitant ticket prices: $1,500 for Barbra Streisand. $800 for the Rolling Stones. $350-plus for Madonna. Promoters will argue that as long as the market will bear such jaw-dropping prices, they'll continue to charge them. So who are the real turkeys here – the artists asking fans to unload a mortgage payment to spend two hours in their presence or those of us who buy the tickets and support them?
4. Obscenely late concert starts: Madonna. Axl Rose. Lauryn Hill. Talking to all of you. At least last weekend's Madonna show at Philips Arena started at 10:30 p.m. The poor saps who attended her Monday show in Miami – a school night, no less – had to wait until 11:30 for her to arrive on stage. With any artist who insists on coming on stage hours after the time printed on the ticket, it's pointless, arrogant and disrespectful to fans, most of whom have jobs, babysitters and public transportation to catch. Besides, you're not 24 anymore, so act your ages and show some courtesy to the people who support your careers.
3. Rihanna: And speaking of arrogant…her recent "777" tour that hit seven countries in seven days sounded, from all accounts, like a nightmare assignment. As the writer from Billboard succinctly noted, "We were experiencing the touring life of an artist, without the artist." Why bother inviting a press corps to document your tour if you aren't going to show your face until a hasty press conference at the end of the run? It's just the latest in a string of condescending actions by the pop star, who loves to put herself in the spotlight and then complain when people pay attention to her. Just take a listen to her recent single with Chris Brown, "Nobody's Business," a not-so-thinly veiled complaint about all of the haters who condemn her who-cares relationship with Brown. As Howard Stern noted on his radio show last week, yes, honey, you made it our business by shoving this dysfunctional relationship in our faces.
2. Axl Rose: So many bands and artists would be honored to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Anyone who claims otherwise is probably never going to get in and uses a pre-emptive strike as a shield. But Axl Rose, you WERE honored, along with the band that wouldn't have pummeled our rock 'n' roll senses quite the same without you in the '80s and '90s. And how do you acknowledge this honor? You pen a crybaby letter to the hall to decline your induction. Such class.
1. Chris Brown: Despite his supposed efforts to rehabilitate his image, Brown manages to blow every opportunity and become more reprehensible in the eyes of everyone except his blinded-by-devotion fans. How about the sketchy details of his community service requirements (700 hours at a daycare center in Tappahannock, Va.? If you say so), the pot charge earlier this year in Virginia, the constant need to shed his clothing on award shows – as if flashing his abs is some sort of magical elixir – and, oh, let's not forget dressing like a terrorist for Halloween. Sure sounds like a guy on the path to maturity, doesn't it?

There isn't one artist here worth the print, nor worth your respect, save Aldean, and that's only because he manned up immediately.
The world of pop music, which almost all those mentioned inhabit, is a virtual wasteland of talent for the most part. From a critical standpoint, almost none warrant a serious look. Even Madonna has fallen off significantly. If any fan argues that her latest, or even her last few, in any way approach her best, I would suggest otherwise. And it isn't close.
In real life, most of these people are embarrassments to themselves. If your close friend acted in the way they act, you would be appalled. It's not a clink-dink that the many of them – Carey, Aguilera, Jackson, Axel, the Stones – are down or on their way.
As for the question of who is more lame, the promoters or the ticket buyers? Both. The irony of the Stones at their highest priced ticket while delivering what will inevitably be the least bang for the buck show isn't lost on me. I actually saw them when they were great. Madonna at $360? I had to chuckle at all those who defended her last week on these pages when her tour got bad to mediocre reviews. It, and she, deserved them. Het, Nadoody, take that crap where it belongs: Vegas. And stay there. If your tastes runs where you'd say that was a great show, I can guarantee you that at some point in your life you'll recognize how wrong you were. No hating here, either, this is simply apt criticism. Great businesswoman, no doubt, maybe one of the best ever. But she's coming up woefully short in every other facet. The songs are not as good, and the show isn't either. If you saw her years ago, you'd agree. "Bigger" does not make it better.
Chris Brown merits a special nod for his strain of db behavior. If the 'hood ever came back to claim you I its most despicable way, you really wouldn't be missed. Well, except by those misguided, and morally bankrupt, fans. Hating? Hardly. A punk is a punk is a punk. The truth will set you free.

The rock n roll HOF is a complete and utter joke and the fact that you defend it pretty much just killed any credibility you may have as a music writer.
As Ozzy said,"The nomination is meaningless, because it's not voted on by the fans. It's voted on by the supposed elite for the industry and the media, who've never bought an album or concert ticket in their lives, so their vote is irrelevant to me."

Totally agree with your comments, especially the one about the exorbitant ticket prices. "Stars" will continue to demand outrageous prices as long as people are stupid enough to pay them. That's why I decided years ago to stop giving my hard-earned money to a bunch of spoiled millionaires.

The RRHOF is a farce. Axl did the right thing, and the GNR show at the Tabernacle was amazing.

Nicki Minaj should be higher up on this list. She is a prime example of ' you can take the girl of out the hood, but you can't take the hood out of the girl.' A completely fake person, from her hair to her shoes, including her auto-tuned voice.

These idiots and sooooo many more that constitute the "elite" of the music industry make me sick. The masses that pander to their excess make me even more sick. I'm done with concerts AND buying CD's. I know it won't make any difference what so ever to any of them, but if more people quit buying tickets to the shows they will have to look at the price and adjust. Look at NASCAR these days. Priced themselves into half-empty venues Sunday after Sunday. Free internet radio for me from now on! It's all the music I need.

I am annoyed by almost everything in the top 40. Music today is gutless, over produced and has no soul. What ever happened to rock and roll?

I don't understand Nicki Minaj's popularity. She is ghetto trash. I was in Ulta yesterday – she has her own line of perfume! You have GOT to be kidding me! She needs to go away and take Kim Kardashian with her.

7:13 pm
How many of you Rock Hall haters have ever actually been inside? It's actually pretty cool, and they sponsor tons of interviews, concerts, and special events that make it a vibrant and relevant institution. It's a registered 501c museum, not Ozzy's attic or the People's Choice awards.
November 25th, 2012
9:53 pm
Nicki Minaj tops my loser's list. Her facial expressions alone turn me off. Never heard her sing a note and don't want to. Couldn't be any worse than Katy Perry, and she isn't any good, either. The rock scene, and to an extent, the country scene, is a joke, more fitting for clown makeup than songs that project talent and depth. Self righteous grunge started the ball rolling and now there isn't many remarkable musicians or groups out there. Steve Miller was sort of the "K-mart" special in years past, and he could blow anyone now out there off the stage. Heart's concert a week or two ago was cream comparied to Minaj type cheeseball efforts. If anyone thinks what's out there now is better than 70s-80s rock or 90s country, you don't have the ability to discern what's good and what isn't…

I'll never ding a performer for telling the NearlyAnythingAndEverythingEXCEPTRock Hall of Shame to get stuffed. Axl may be an obnoxious git but he was on safe ground on that particular call.

A Detroit group returned from the 50th anniversary celebration of the
March on Washington Sunday and they had quite a story to tell! Their bus
caught fire during the trip. There was also a crash that sent several
people to the hospital.
Click on the video player to watch Randy Wimbley's report.
It took and extra 12 hours, but two buses carrying more than a hundred Detroiters finally made it back from Washington, DC Sunday. One woman showed us her charred iPad after the charter bus she was riding in caught fire. Passengers tell us they heard a noise and saw smoke. Next thing they knew, the bus went up in flames. Thankfully, everyone managed to escape.
Saturday, there was an accident involving several busses including one from Detroit. We're told one of the drivers was traveling too close to the other buses. Nine people were taken to the hospital with minor injuries. Some missed the march on the National Mall. Still, the group says it was well worth the trip to mark this important moment in history.
"Just being in that moment was incredible," said Rev. Charles Williams II. "I felt like I stepped back a few generations like to be where my grandparents were when they were there."
We contacted Turner Tours, the company that owns the charter buses used for the Washington, DC trip. We wanted to get their take on the accident and what caused the fire. But, the company says it's not commenting on the mishaps. We're told passengers will be reimbursed for property damage.

I think they know he's also popular for his chemistry with other characters, it's a given, so I wouldn't jump to conclusions the they'll abandon all that for the spin off. I mean they made Angel leave for his show and Bangel I'm sure was popular, but still I don't see them dropping KlausxEveryone
I mean they made Angel leave for his show and Bangel I'm sure was popularThe thing with Angel was that they pulled no stops and you litterally had about equal sides of fanbase - one side wanting to forgive him, other wanting him to die.
As for Bangel - it was terribly popular, but the events of Season Two split the opinion on it in two(and a lot of people loved Cordy's interactions with him, the fact that he would actually smile around her, etc)
ATS worked as a show because they took three BTVS underdog outcasts(Cordy, Wesley and Angel) each of whom were VERY polarizing in terms of fanbase.
And then they build upon that.
The catch however was that ALL THREE Of them already had an established character backstories and certain plots set in motion.
You could take out Angel out of BOTH shows and you would still have stuff to write about him. Same for Cordy and Wesley. THEY WORK separately as characters as well as they do together.
What is it that you would write about Klaus that would make it possible to ignore EVERY SINGLE TVD character? He is written around curse, Elena, hybrids and all that TVD shit. How about other originals? Can you honestly DESCRIBE any of those characters(apart from Becky being bitchy) in a sufficient way for them to WORK without TVD characters?
Beckie as character would not work without lame longing looks for steffie, jealousy for Caroline and all that dumb shit.
Klaus has no plots apart Elena, curse and the hybrids. The show litterally spelled out that that's what he focused on for ENTIRETY of his life.
"Being popular" is not enough for the spin off to succeed - you need a good character build up.
Angel, Cordelia, Wesley - ALL OF THEM had enough of stuff in their pasts and characters, that has NOTHING to do with BTVS cast. And then the whole S3 was written around GIVING THEM REASONS to live and to be ABLE to leave. Originals have none of that - their purpose starts and ends with TVD plot.
Not to mention - fucking worldbuilding.
Los Angeles was a place featured in BTVS SINCE THE PILOT EPISODE - its the town Buffy arrived from, it has been indicated to be supernaturally active, BUFFY VISITED IT, setting up events in motion for ATS, enough of world-lore was created to be used BEYOND the current plotlines, etc, etc, etc.
Did TVD EVER mention whatever town the supposed spin off would take place in and does it have ANYTHING to do with Originals? The obvious answer would be no.
So yes, throwing a bunch of barely established characters with almost no personalities of backstories, into a completely random town will work out well...oh yes...

A few days ago I posted a look with a skirt that I got from Zara. I ended up wearing the skirt yesterday and this is what I wore with it! I love this layered lace top I got from Urban Outfitters on sale last fall. Now that school is over and all I have left are two finals I spent some time yesterday at a local thrift/vintage store and found some really good stuff that I will be posting about later :)

National PTA and Jamba Juice Join Forces to Raise $1 Million for Schools and PTAs Nationwide
Three-Year Partnership to Support Parents and Teachers in Creating School-Based Programs that Encourage Healthy Lifestyle Choices
SAN FRANCISCO, November 11, 2009 /PRNewswire/ — The National PTA and Jamba Inc. announced today a three-year partnership to support parents and teachers in creating school-based programs that encourage healthy lifestyle choices. With the goal of raising $1 million to support these initiatives, the partnership between National PTA and Jamba Juice leverages the strengths of both organizations to improve the health and academic performance of the nation's students by providing local PTAs with additional funding for their wellness programs. The partnership builds upon Jamba's longtime commitment to supporting local schools through fundraising efforts at the store level and furthers National PTA's mission to increase family engagement in their children's school by providing additional funding for local PTA's to create and execute programs that promote physical activity and encourage healthier eating.
These initiatives can run the gamut from bike-to-school programs, family fit nights, walkathons, health fairs and a myriad of other activities to get kids excited about exercising and making smarter food choices. To support these initiatives, Jamba and National PTA have created a School Appreciation Card—a keychain sized swipe card that can be used with every purchase at participating Jamba Juice locations. Simply go to a participating Jamba Juice store, make a purchase, swipe the card and 12% of sales will be donated back to PTA --10% to Local PTA and 2% to National PTA. Local PTAs can visit www.jambajuice.com/PTA, register for the swipe cards and a Jamba Juice team member will ship them out, letting the fun-draising begin! With a strong correlation between parent involvement in their children's schools and overall student achievement, the Jamba Juice and National PTA partnership is designed to empower local parents and communities to take charge of their children's health and academic achievement.
"Jamba Juice has a great history of supporting schools and students through local event sponsorships and fundraising initiatives where neighborhood Jamba Juice stores donate a percentage of the sales back to participating schools," said Charles J. "Chuck" Saylors, National PTA president. "We are excited to join with the company in this new partnership, which will enable us to further support the impressive grassroots efforts of local PTA's across the country in improving the health and academic performance of their student bodies."
"We have always had a strong presence in our local schools and communities and this new partnership will allow us to further assist in improving the wellbeing and academic achievement of our nation's students," said James D. White, president and CEO, Jamba Juice. "Joining with National PTA in this type of partnership is a natural fit for Jamba and will enable us to support schools and communities more effectively than ever before. For many of these local PTAs, the ingenuity to create solutions is there, but the funds may not be and we look forward to the opportunity to lend a hand in support."
Jamba Juice and National PTA officially kicked-off the partnership Monday with an event in San Francisco honoring 45 PTA schools from across the country for their innovative efforts in improving the health and academic success of their children. Hosted by the Chinese Immersion School at DeAvila in San Francisco – one of this year's honorees – the event is part of National PTA's Healthy Lifestyles Month and each winning school will receive up to a $1,000 grant in recognition of their outstanding achievement. The National PTA was able to double the number of grants it usually awards with a generous donation from Jamba Juice, allowing it to better recognize the great work of the nation's top performing PTAs.
About National PTA: National PTA comprises millions of families, students, teachers, administrators, and business and community leaders devoted to the educational success of children and the promotion of parent involvement in schools. PTA is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit association that prides itself on being a powerful voice for all children, a relevant resource for families and communities, and a strong advocate for public education. Membership in PTA is open to anyone who wants to be involved and make a difference for the education, health, and welfare of children and youth.
