At a Glance
The Bosphorus Strait creates a natural north-south divide between European Istanbul and Asian Istanbul. The Bosphorus, the Sea of Marmara and the Black Sea further divide Istanbul into the three main districts of Beyoglu, Istanbul and Uskudar, which are connected by the Galata Bridge and the Ataturk Bridge.
Originally known as Byzantium, Istanbul was renamed and rebuilt as Constantinople by the Eastern Roman Emperor Constantine the Great in the fourth century AD. The name Istanbul is a Turkish contraction of Constantinoupolis, with the Turkish article I on the front. Istanbul was the capital city of Turkey for 1,600 years until 1923. Numerous ancient ruins from the Hellenic period, the Roman Empire and the Ottoman Empire are scattered across the city.
Banks, luxury hotels, restaurants, theaters, shops and consulates cluster together in Taksim Square and Beyoglu the heart of modern Istanbul and the center of its thriving finance and trade industries.
Turkish troops participated in the Korean War shedding blood alongside Korean and other UN troops to maintain Korea's freedom. Istanbul established a sister city relationship with Busan on June 4, 2002.

Eddie Johnson stoppage-time goal lifts MLS All-Stars past Chelsea
Philadelphia, PA, United States (4E Sports) – Seattle Sounders striker Eddie Johnson ripped a right-footer in the first minute of stoppage time to lift the MLS All-Stars past Chelsea, 3-2, Wednesday in the MLS All-Star Game at PPL Park
In his first All-Star appearance since 2007, Johnson booted in a right-footer from the top of the box that skipped off the outstretched leg of Chelsea defender David Luiz and past helpless goalkeeper Ross Turnbull for the winner.
Johnson's heroic helped the All-Stars snap a three-game losing skid in the annual MLS football exhibition against European counterparts. It was also the second straight victory for the All-Stars against Chelsea, whom they defeated in 2006.
Chris Wondolowski capitalized on a miscue by Chelsea star John Terry in the box and scored in the 21st minute from an assist by Thierry Henry.
Terry atoned for his earlier mistake by puncturing a header in the 32nd minute before Frank Lampard gave Chelsea the lead in the 58th minute with another goal.
The All-Stars, however, used the all-D.C. United connection between Dwayne De Rosario and Chris Pontius in the 73rd minute to tie the game.
De Rosario tracked down the ball in the corner, got a step inside and dished back to a streaking Pontius, who coolly slotted a shot past Turnbull to level the match at 2-2.
Pontius, in his first All-Star appearance, was later named Most Valuable Player.
"We're all competitors here and we all want to win," said Vancouver Whitecaps defender Jay DeMerit of the victory. "I think in the second half the game slowed down a bit but we had equal chances so the fact that we came away winners is a feather in our cap."
"As the game opens up, it's always hard," said DeMerit of defending the likes of Romelu Lukaku and Lampard. "We stayed with our six in the back. Alonso and Beckham really got in their way and broke things up when they needed to. That's what you need to do. We headed things away and we battle it out and we did that tonight."
Sporting KC's Graham Zusi said the atmosphere inside PPL Park was another reason why the All-Stars were able to push on to victory.
"I had a blast," first-time All-Star Zusi said. "It was a great environment and the fans were amazing. Not everyday you get to play a team like Chelsea. It was a lot of fun and the result was an added bonus for us."

MILWAUKEE – So Georgia Tech just finished its shoot-around this evening at the Bradley Center in downtown Milwaukee, but the Yellow Jackets got their real practice in this morning at the Al McGuire Center on Marquette's campus.
Some beauty in that isn't there? The only thing that would make it better was if James Forrest was in the gym shooting a couple 3s.
There was a gaggle of Tech fans here for the shoot-around. I think it was mainly members of the Tech pep band, but they gave the Yellow Jackets a nice, rousing greeting and then had a funny exchange with Gani Lawal made a free throw attempt in practice.
Hey, if you're Lawal, a laugh about that probably isn't a bad thing. Maybe he's been a little too uptight. He needs to do something to break it up. (Lawal shot 5-for-18 from the free throw line in the ACC tournament. Yikes.)
Lawal actually had the line of the day in today's press conference. When reporters from USA Today and the New York Times were asking Tech players questions about giving up their cell phones, they asked each player on the dais which way they voted when the team decided to give them up. Iman Shumpert said he voted yes, to give them up, D'Andre Bell same thing, Lawal said he voted yes and then: "Nobody calls me anyway."
Um, yeah, right, Gani. So I asked him about that later in the locker room. C'mon. Well, it seems the reason is because a lot of folks don't have his number. OK, fine. But what about his girlfriend? He said she's an architecture major; she's got a lot going on. OK, I can buy that. Players are able to use their families' cell phones here and there. But it seems like it's been a good move all-around.
The guys seem loose and relaxed and in a good place, how you'd want them to be the day before the first round of the NCAA tournament, I think.
Former McDonald's teammates?
Neither Oklahoma State's James Anderson nor Gani Lawal could remember if the two of them were teammates in the 2007 McDonald's America game. How bizarre is that?
When I asked Anderson if he and Gani were teammates, he said: "I think he was I want to say he was on the other team. I don't know for sure. But he was a pretty cool guy and a friendly guy."
Yeah, hey, that part sounds like Gani for sure, so he's got the right guy, but Anderson got some kidding from his coach who overhead him say that. You could hear Oklahoma State coach Travis Ford passing Anderson behind the curtain in the press conference area, saying: "Way to know who your teammates are. You're a great teammate. That's good."
But then I asked Gani about it in Tech's press conference, and he couldn't remember either. I guess maybe when you spend a few days together and the final score in the game is 114-112, and ahem, not a lot of defense is played, who the heck knows.
We do though. We looked it up. Anderson scored five points in that game but his West team won. Lawal got the better of it individually though with 12 points and 12 rebounds in 18 minutes. So there you have it.
And while we were looking it up, have a look at some of the guys on those rosters: Michael Beasley, Kevin Love, Derrick Rose, Blake Griffin, OJ Mayo, Kyle Singler, etc.
Pilgrim on Favors
So apparently Oklahoma State's 6-8 center Matt Pilgrim has heard his fair share about how great Derrick Favors is, and it's on his nerves, judging by his reaction in the press conference today anyway.
"The media did their own scouting report for me, for the most part, telling me all about him," he said when asked about facing Favors.
So I came back with, well what did the media say?
"You all know what it is, going straight to the league," Pilgrim said. "It's kind of a motivational thing, to tell you the truth."
Everybody figures Tech should have a big advantage inside, and Oklahoma State's perimeter shooters will give the Yellow Jackets a tough time. So which will have the bigger impact on the game? I guess we'll see. If the Cowboys play good denial defense and keep Tech's guards from getting the ball inside, or if they play zone defense and make it tough to get the ball in there with all the traffic, it'll be tough for Tech.
But Tech should have a big advantage in size inside. And the Cowboys are not very deep. They go seven or eight deep but not with a whole lot of confidence. That might be a break for Tech, which is anticipating the press and might not get it as much as it thinks.
Shumpert's posse
Shumpert is playing only about an hour, he said, depending on the driver, from his home in Oak Park, Ill., just west of Chicago. He'll have a huge group in the stands tomorrow including his mom, his dad, friends, cousins, aunts, uncles, high school coaches, high school teammates, his AAU coach, etc.
"We'll finally have a crowd behind us," said Shumpert, referring to the pro-North Carolina, N.C. State and Duke crowds the Yellow Jackets faced in Greensboro.
OK, time to get some grub and watch some hoop. Enjoy pressure-free NCAA tournament watching tonight because tomorrow that all changes!

Play well, play smart, Tech.
Despite my feelings for the "coach", I hope the Jackets enjoy a long run in the tourney. They'll beat OSU, but OSU will be tough.

we have to get the ball inside. when that is sealed off, we need iman shumpert to take the ball off the dribble and penetrate and make some plays. this includes kicking the ball back out for open looks. even if we dont shoot a very high percentage, no team likes for the other team to take a lot of open shots so their defense will have to adjust.
we do need to make FT's, but getting what few big men they have into foul trouble will help us immensely.

How bad is this situation? The Jackets play at night, so I'm not at work. (Good thing) They play on Friday, so I could watch the game with a couple of adult beverages. (Another good thing) Then find out my tickets to go see a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse performance with my kids is at the same time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Insert profanity here!)
Hopefully it's the regional game here (Indiana) and I can DVR it.

There is no more important equipment for driver safety than the auto mirror. They serve such an important function for the driver. They are vital to remain aware of your surroundings and the actions of the other drivers that surround your vehicle. Today's roadways are more congested than ever before. More of us commute for longer distances every day in our modern era than ever before in history. This tremendous increase of everyday traffic has made driver safety and alertness more important than ever, as each driver mistake can have a greater impact on more surrounding vehicles. The rear view auto mirror is meant to allow you an enhanced view of the road and traffic to the rear of your vehicle, without the necessity of taking your eyes off of the road ahead long enough to turn around. This allows for a higher degree of safety, making it easier for the driver to assure that it is safe to slow or stop the vehicle without causing a traffic hazard. The side view auto mirror is designed to improve driver visibility at the left and right of the vehicle. This auto mirror is of great assistance in a number of driving situations. The side view auto mirror can be helpful when entering traffic from an on-street parking place. This auto mirror allows you to safely survey the road for traffic approaching the side of your vehicle from the rear. The side view auto mirror is especially important during lane changes, allowing a better view of the traffic to determine when the lane beside you is open for your vehicle. If your auto mirror is cracked or broken, it is important to your safety to repair it as soon as possible. You are sure to find the right auto mirror for your vehicle among the large selection of auto mirrors available in our on-line catalog. Our great prices and customer service make ordering your auto mirror from our secure site quick and convenient.
Finding the Right Mirror for Your Vehicle
Car mirrors are very important safety components that let you see other vehicles when you're driving. Despite being very important, it's amazing how car mirrors become damaged so easily. The thing is, the slightest bump can shatter a vehicle's mirror to smithereens and when that happens, you would feel like you're already blind because mirrors provide a lot of visibility.
Before buying a replacement mirror for your car, here are three of the most basic mirrors used in most vehicles today.
Driver's side view mirror
As the name implies, this type of side mirror enables the driver to see motorists from the side and behind. By simply using this side mirror, a driver will be able to easily make a decision when driving on the road, lessening the chance of an accident from happening.
Passenger's side view mirror
Unlike the driver's side mirror, the passenger' side view mirror is convex in shape and that means most things that you'll see appear bigger than they actually do. Because of its convex shape, passenger's side view mirrors provide an extremely broad line of sight of things that are positioned behind the car.
When replacing a damaged passenger's side view mirror, you have to consider the "convexity" of the mirrors that your car has because the convexity actually varies from vehicle to vehicle.
Rear view mirror
One of the most useful mirrors installed to vehicles today is the rear view mirror. As the name implies, this type of mirror lets you see vehicles that are positioned behind your vehicle.
These days, there are two types of rear view mirrors used: prismatic and dimming. Prismatic rear view mirrors have a basic design and their angles can actually be changed so you'll have an easier time seeing vehicles behind you. On the other hand, dimming rear view mirrors are relatively new innovations and basically, they have sensors that detect the amount of light in the surroundings. Depending on the light available, the sensors lessen the "reflective" capability of the automatic dimming rear view mirrors, allowing the driver to see better.
Towing mirrors
Towing mirrors are used when you're not able to see the entire length of your trailer. These mirrors reduce your "blind spot" and as a result, you're most likely to not hit anything when you're on the road.
The reason why the blind spot gets bigger is when your trailer is taller or longer than your vehicle. When this happens, you really need to equip your vehicle with reliable towing mirrors.
It's important that you choose the right mirror for your car. Mirrors are crucial components that help you always be safe on the road.
How to Replace Your Side-View Mirror
Losing a side-view mirror can be extremely frustrating. It's one of those things you don't miss until they're gone. Fortunately, there's no 7-year string of bad luck to worry about here. Replacing your side-view mirrors is an easy job you can do yourself. Note: Steps in this guide are easier than they appear.
Difficulty Level: Easy
Here's what you'll need:
- Screwdriver
- Torx driver
- Pry tool
- Socket wrench
- Any small, clear container
- Replacement side-view mirror
- Vehicle owner manual
Step 1: Roll down the window on the same side of the damaged mirror then shut your vehicle off.
Step 2: Open the hood of your vehicle and use the socket wrench to disconnect the negative battery cable from the battery terminal.
Step 3: Remove the interior door panel by first removing the trim pieces with your pry tool. Use your screwdriver to remove the screws keeping the panel in place. A corner trim piece may also need to be removed before the door panel can come off. Put all the screws in the small container so you don't misplace them.
Step 4: If you're replacing a power-controlled mirror, unplug the wiring harness by pulling off the connectors with your fingers.
Step 5: Use your socket wrench to remove the mirror bolts then pull out the entire mirror assembly. Put the bolts in the container.
Step 6: Pull the mirror off the mirror assembly. Use your torx driver to remove the screws then pry off the plastic tabs on the backing until the mirror is free of the assembly.
Step 7: Install the new mirror to the assembly. Snap it into the backing with the tabs.
Step 8: Put everything back together by following the reverse order of disassembly. Reuse all the screws and bolts you removed (or replace them with new ones if necessary).
Refer to your vehicle's manual for specific information that may require you to deviate from these general instructions.

"I'll know which school will best fit me when I get there," Rowe said. "My school is in the semifinals (11-1) and I'm totally focused on that right now. When the season is over I'll start to think about making a college decision. I haven't planned any other official visits yet. All I know is that I'll be visiting the Bulldogs sometime in December.
"My brother, Alfred Rowe (safety), plays for USC. That doesn't necessarily mean I want to play for the Trojans. I went to the USC/Notre Dame game (44-24) last weekend. I thought it was cool. I've been to a lot of USC games and know a lot about the school already. I'm just waiting to go on my official visit to decide if it's a school I'll consider attending.
"I would say California is recruiting me the hardest," he said. "I know a little about the Bears. My friend DeSean Jackson (wide receiver) went to my high school. We talk about the school and the team. He tries to recruit me a little. But, he understands that I have to make the decision. The coaches say I can play early, which is something that is important to me and I will consider when making my decision.
"I don't know much about Oregon at this point. Derrick Jones (wide receiver) went to my high school too. I've talked to him a few times about Oregon, but not over anything earth shattering.
"Mississippi and Fresno State both said they want me to play early. Playing time is important to me, but not the only thing I'll be considering.
"I may just take my time and wait until Signing Day to make my decision," Rowe said. "I'm in no rush; I want to see what every school has to offer. I'm not just looking at their programs and playing time, but also a feeling when I'm at the visit. Something just tells me that I'll know where I belong after I see all five schools.
"Distance will not be a factor when I make my decision. My parents just want me to graduate from college. The decision is mine and mine alone to make. Going to the right school that best fits me is important. I'm going to take my time in reviewing all the schools. As a kid I followed all the teams, not just one. I didn't develop a favorite. As it stands now, I really don't know where I want to go or who I want to play for."
Rowe reports a 2.6 core GPA and a 790 SAT score (old version). He has no plans to retake the SAT and states that he is qualified.

Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Unwrap puff pastry and place on a well-floured surface. Pass a rolling pin over the pastry a few times to even out any bumps and make it just slightly thinner. Using a sharp knife or pizza wheel, cut into 3-inch-wide strips, then cut each strip into 1½-inch sections. You'll need 28 pieces. (You may not need all the pastry; you can refreeze what you don't use.) Wrap each cocktail frank in a strip, rolling it so just the tips of the franks stick out. Use your fingers to moisten the edge of the pastry with a little water and press gently to seal the edges. Place seam-side down on the baking sheet and freeze for 10 minutes.
Remove the baking sheet from the freezer. Brush the tops of the pastry with egg whisked with water. Bake until dough is puffed and deeply browned, about 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine cranberry sauce, mustard and 3 tablespoons water in a blender until very smooth. Serve the cocktail franks warm with the cranberry sauce on the side for dipping.

Following a failed attempt to catch a good wind between the Arctic and the Atlantic oceans (read Greenland), The Pirate Bay is now sailing towards the small and icy country known as Iceland. Will it float or sink?
About two weeks ago, the pirate ship and its crew considered sailing away from Sweden, their next destination being Greenland. The decision was not one of their best, as Greenland's company in charge with all .GL registrations, specifically Tele-Post, was not happy harboring such a "stigmatized" bunch.
But this is no ordinary pirate crew; they are fierce in their cause, they are relentless and determined to stretch their sails to the maximum; and they proved that more than once. For starters, in 2009 the three founders, along with one of the site's financers, received a one year sentence in jail for promoting copyright infringement and a fine of roughly $3.5 million; the sentences were reduced the next year (except for Gottfrid, who was later arrested in Cambodia and brought back to Sweden [we later found out that Sweden paid $59 millions for Gottfrid's head] to face charges of hacking into several local companies), but the fines were upped to $4.5 million.
So, having to deal with Greenland's refusal, The Pirate Bay quickly regrouped and dropped the anchor in Iceland.
While the country's copyright laws are pretty much the same as anywhere else in the world, ISNIC – the company in charge with all .IS registrations – is not as blunt as Tele-Post.
"ISNIC is not responsible for a registrant's usage of their domains," the company's Chief Technology Officer Marius Olafsson told TF.
"Such an action would require a formal order from an Icelandic court," he continued.
The statement is rather surprising, especially that Iceland is currently struggling to censor internet pornography, something that you find on basically any torrent portal, including The Pirate Bay. However, TPB is not yet out of the danger zone, because, despite ISNIC's tolerance, a court order could eventually force the registration company to drive the ship away. Let's hope that's not the case!
Stay tuned!
Just as we've feared, TPB is forced to move its domain name. A recent TorrentFreak report informed that due to a complaint filed by a Swedish prosecutor (at the end of April), the torrent portal had to sail away towards Sint Maarten (.sx). Meanwhile, Marius Olafsson of the ISNIC told TF:
"When and if such an "order" is received by ISNIC we will refer that to our legal council and will of course respond – how remains to be seen. Remember that ISNIC is an Icelandic company operating under Icelandic laws."
"I am not a lawyer, but would think that in general Swedish courts do not have jurisdiction over Icelandic companies operating in Iceland. The only thing a Swedish court can do in this case is to order the registrant (who is Swedish) to delete the domain. I fail to see how they can order ISNIC to do anything."
"ISNIC will legally fight attempts to use the domain name registry system to police/censor the net. We believe that to be ineffective, wrong and dangerous to the stability of the DNS as a whole."

The ultimate DIY hamster cage built out of a piece of furniture?
Having concluded from reading online posts and articles, and from observing our hamster, that the hamster cages sold in stores are not nearly large enough, I decided to build a custom cage for our Syrian hamster, Snickers.
Snickers in her old cage, when she was a bit smaller
She had been living in a cage that we had modified to connect to a plastic storage bin. When people saw it, they usually thought it was over-the-top extravagant for a hamster, that I had gone overboard, but I knew that many hamster owners agree that 360 square inches is the minimum space pet owners should give a hamster. That's the size of a 20-gallon fish tank (30×12). People in the hamster-owner community (yes, there is such a thing) would not consider this set-up to be extravagant.
All Living Things hamster cage connected to a plastic storage bin
The combined space we provided exceeded the 360-sq.-inch minimum, but neither space was quite big enough by itself, and with toys and accessories, both spaces were crowded. The weekly chore of getting the tunnels to balance on the top of the narrow cage after cleaning them wasn't much fun. Also, I didn't like having a large plastic bin on display in the family room. I wanted something more aesthetically pleasing that would also give Snickers lots of room. Besides, when I searched for images of "custom diy hamster cages," I saw that some people had built really large habitats. It seemed to me to be a fun project to do with my son. We'd end up with a large hamster home, a hamster mansion even, that would look good in our family room.
It indeed was a fun (and time-consuming) project to do with my son. We converted an old piece of furniture into a large hamster home. We had a chest of four drawers with hutch support in the basement. First I cut out the drawer dividers with a jigsaw.
This was gathering dust in the basement
We used shelves we had left over from an old Ikea bookcase and cut them with a circular saw to make a floor for the lower level. We used L-brackets and mending plates to connect the floor sections and attach them to the inside walls of the furniture.
We had leftover vinyl flooring that we cut to size for both levels of floor to keep it safe from moisture.
We removed the back of the furniture.
We used 1/2 inch yard roll wire to line the inside of the lower room walls so they could not be chewed through. That yard roll also covers the entire back of the furniture (staple gun) to provide ventilation.
We used a 2 1/4 inch hole saw to cut holes for Crittertrail tubes to connect sections.
We cut wood to size to build a front frame for the top level (on the surface of the furniture) and drilled it into the furniture and stapled yard roll wire from the top of this wood frame to the top of the furniture. Acrylic sheets and aquarium silicon were used to seal the sides.
For the doors, we bought two expandable screens that are used for windows and we ripped out the screen and siliconed plastic in its place. Using hooks and loops, these doors are secured on each end to the furniture itself, on the lower level, and to the wood frame we built, on the upper level. Both doors can be completely removed. Cleaning is very easy because our hamster is potty trained. She only urinates in the litter box Crittertrail outhouse above the structure (on the left), and only defecates in the tunnels.
The main level is about 612 sq. inches (34×18). The two rooms on the lower level are about 270 sq. inches each (16×17). Snickers has over 1,100 sq. inches of floor space. She uses all of it.
A nice addition to our family room
Snickers made her nest in the upper right Crittertrail outhouse
Front view
The main level
The left lower level has deep substrate for burrowing
The right lower level has deep substrate for burrowing
The Crittertrail tunnels connect all sections of the home
We keep hamster supplies in the bottom drawer

Many people don't realize the benefits of bodyweight training because in every magazine you see, there are dudes in the gym hitting weights. But, with all training, there is a regression and progression to every exercise. For example a regression for hanging leg lifts is performing a plank. The progression would be performing the movement with a medicine ball between your feet.
Another example would be a bench press. Many people can't do a conventional bench press because of existing shoulder issues, their form is bad or they just don't have access to the equipment.
Push-ups are a great alternative. Not only can you perform push-ups with various hand positions but you can also do them from an elevated surface extending the range of motion for the shoulders and engage more muscle fibers.
Bodyweight Training Benefits:
- Free
- Versatile, many different variations
- Can be done anywhere
- Improves movement
- Improves relative strength
- Can improve reactive strength
Here are my top 5 bodyweight movements:
1. Push-Ups
Not only builds up the chest, shoulders and triceps, but is a great stabilizer of the torso and lower back.
Can be done with various hand, feet and elevated positions. Push-ups variations such as EQI's, hindus and push-up plus are incredible rehabilitative exercises.
2. Bodyweight Squats
This basic movement has huge benefits! It can be an indicator for ankle, hip and thoracic mobility, or it can be an incredible conditioning tool.
Perform them against the wall to drill proficiency and technique, or perform linked in a bodyweight circuit.
You can also create a complex linking with a plyometric movement like sprints, jumping or zig zag hops.

Branch 'n' Roll
Whether IRL or on Branch, there are a few topics that always make for a great conversation. Music is definitely one of them.
On Branch, you've swapped links to your favorite Spotify apps and cover songs, debated which band has the best live performances, and even invented metrics like "the ratio of good songs/mediocre songs for any given band or artist" to more scientifically judge each other's picks. (Several of your music branches are even contenders for "Longest Branch Ever," so you must be onto something!)

Temple's newest police officer
With the addition of Jake, the Temple Police Department's bomb detecting capabilities have gone to the dogs.
Jake, the Department of Campus Safety Services' new canine officer, is pretty hard to miss.
He's a shiny, black Labrador retriever with a confident gait that says "I'm working." While he won't bite you if you try to pet him, it's best not to do that because he may feel threatened and snap at you, says his handler, Temple Police Officer Alan Kuterbach.
But if you see Jake sit down, it might be best to leave the room. You see, Jake is a bomb detecting dog, and when he sits down, he's telling everyone in the room that an explosive, or something that may be used as part of an explosive, is in the room as well.
"He's trained to find 17 different types of explosive materials," Kuterbach said.
Jake and Kuterbach became Temple's newest crime fighting duo after completing about four months of bomb detection training at the Philadelphia Police Academy, said Captain Denise Wilhelm.
In a world that seems to have a new terrorist threat almost weekly, the decision to have Temple join Penn State, San Francisco State University, the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana and Florida International University as a campus with a bomb detection dog seemed a logical one, Wilhelm said.
After talking to other universities that have bomb detection dogs and seeing how they've worked out for them, it seemed like a good investment for the University, she said.
"Because we have the Liacouras Center and host so many high profile events, we see [Jake] as a positive tool," Wilhelm said. "We used to have the Philadelphia Police Department and SEPTA come to the Liacouras Center and do our bomb sweeps for us. Now we can do it."
When he heard that Temple was getting a bomb-detecting dog, Kuterbach, who's been a Campus Police officer for almost four years, jumped at the chance to be its handler.
He was interviewed for the position, went through the training, and now, Jake is a part of his family, he said.
Not that it was easy at first, Kuterbach admitted.
"I actually have a yellow lab at home," he said. "At first, it was a little awkward. They weren't comfortable with each other. Now, they're best friends. They wrestle and play together. One dog takes care of my family while the other goes to work with me."
It took a lot of training for both man and dog to be ready for their duties, Kuterbach said. In addition to Jake's learning how to detect explosives, Kuterbach had to learn healthcare issues and the dos and don'ts of being a bomb detection dog handler, he said.
Not every dog makes the cut as a bomb detector, Kuterbach said. A dog that's too aggressive won't make it as a bomb detecting dog for obvious reasons. While drug detecting dogs and other types of canine officers are taught to tear into packages of drugs to see what's inside, that kind of behavior from a bomb sniffing dog could prove disastrous, he said.
"If it's an active bomb, it could go off if it's licked or bitten," Kuterbach said. "That's exactly what you don't want to happen."
Jake has already made his mark, Kuterbach said. He's done bomb sweeps at the Liacouras Center prior to events there and also helped SEPTA police officers with an emergency on one of its trains recently.
Police department officials are watching Jake's performance before deciding whether or not to invest in another dog, Wilhelm said.
"We'll see how successful we are with Jake and will go from there," she said. "So far, it's been wonderful."

What is MAK
The Team
MAK on Facebook
Linking design and construction
saves you
time and money, ensuring
good communication
clear accountability
Why MAK?
At MAK Design+Build, we use the design-build approach to your project as a way to best satisfy your vision, budget and schedule. The design-build process is a more streamlined approach to home remodeling. Typically, a homeowner will hire an architect or designer to design the project and create drawings which are then distributed to several contractors for bids. It is a cumbersome and time-consuming process often with less than satisfactory results for the homeowner.
MAK offers architectural design and construction expertise under one roof. You save time throughout the project because one phone call to one company is all you need to communicate any changes or concerns you might have. Nothing is lost in translation between designer and builder.
By working with MAK Design+Build, you only have to manage one relationship throughout your entire home remodeling process. This ensures good communication, clarifies accountability, and minimizes unforeseen problems down the road. Linking design and construction saves you time and money, and makes the process more manageable. We can't eliminate all the surprises, but we sure work hard to minimize them!
When you work with MAK Design+Build, you join a dynamic team and process where the strengths of all the players come together. This collaboration goes a long way in ensuring that your home remodel experience is the best that it can be. As the customer, you are the most important member of the design-build team. You will ultimately determine the design, the materials selection, and the budget. Your specific design issues and needs are our greatest concern. The success of any project lies in the communication and execution of ideas. That is why at MAK, clear communication is essential to high quality design and construction. We listen to you and incorporate your feedback and ideas into your project. We want you to love your house!
The design-build process starts as soon as you call or email us about your project ideas. Once we hear from you, we schedule a time to talk with you over the phone so we can best understand your needs and tell you about our process. Although it is very difficult to estimate costs this early on, we can give you cost information from projects we have recently completely which sound comparable to yours. If our process, approach, and conversation skills fit with your needs, we would then schedule a time to come out to your home to meet you in person.
At this meeting, we want to hear more about and see how you want to change your space, as well as to establish a budget. Prior to this meeting we would email you an exercise to complete called "I wish, I want, I need" which will help you to establish your remodeling priorities. We will go through this information in detail so we can propose the biggest bang for your buck!
If we're all still feeling the love, we then draft a Project Analysis and Design Agreement, also known as the PAD, for our design services. We take extra care to include your design goals in this document as well as a budget range so we can design to your specific criteria. Again, we're trying to minimize surprises! We don't want to tell you we can do something for an unrealistic cost or propose a design which far exceeds your budget.
Once the PAD is signed and your start date is identified, the real fun begins! We will develop preliminary design solutions just for you, including drawings, a scope of work, preliminary cost estimates, and finish and material recommendations. The materials we present at this meeting provide a spring board for further discussion.
As the drawings begin to take shape over time, MAK will provide a more refined construction budget based on your project goals and selections. We will do our best to give you the cost implications of different design solutions. Part of enjoying the remodel process is knowing that you can afford it. We are committed to keeping costs at a level that you can live with.
A successful remodel depends on the clarity of the design. For this reason, the construction contract is accompanied by detailed project specifications. These specifications ensure that your design has been carefully estimated and you know exactly what to expect. Once we get the permits and establish a start date, we will schedule a meeting with you to meet the lead carpenters in charge of your job. At this point, we are ready to bring in the power tools.
Sticker Shock
Remodeling your home can be a large financial investment - big enough to raise the hairs on the back of the most sophisticated MBA. Oftentimes, it's frustrating for homeowners not to know exactly what their project will cost before they are certain of the changes they want to make. MAK can give you a "ballpark" estimate based on the costs of recent comparable projects, but it is not until we've worked together with you to assess the project scope in terms of structure and finishes that we can give you a more precise cost for your project. But as designers and builders in one company, MAK staff can examine the trade offs of all your project's structural, financial, and design challenges at the same time.
Choosing from your wish list and working within your budget are probably the most challenging parts of design development. We are committed to working with you during this process to determine the value and costs of the various design solutions so the total project works within your budget constraints.
It should put you at ease to know, however, that a well-designed project with quality materials is an investment that is sure to grow. Whether it's an investment in your future to be able to live in a house that you love or an investment in the value of your real estate, MAK Design+Build knows from experience that a thoughtful remodel will benefit you for years to come.

Are you serious, International Left-Handers' Day?! Somebody must have been feeling "left" out in 1992 when they thought of this. All joking aside, let's celebrate those who struggle with the common can-opener, corkscrews and smearing ink while writing. Because if it wasn't for them we'd all be right…and that's not right.
The frustration left-handers experience in everyday life is often overlooked by the right-handed majority but thankfully there is one place where southpaws aren't "left" in the dust. Sorry, had to do it. That place is the ocean, which on any swell will throw blows with both it's right and left. And although the ocean has a great right jab its left-handed uppercut can be phenomenal.
So instead of being proper and shaking right hands with the ocean, let's honor it with some left-handed high fives because some of us need to enjoy the benefits of being goofy.
What if Kelly was born a goofy footer? Mystery solved…
And here are some Goofy footers going left…

Yo-Yo Ma, Silk Road, and Chicago Symphony Orchestra Brings Us 'New Impossibilities'
Always eager to break down barriers and inspire new platforms for learning, cellist Yo-Yo Ma wanted to see what would happen if the cultural institutions of one city focused all of their energies on a single event. Working with the city of Chicago, together they embarked on the yearlong city-wide celebration SILK ROAD CHICAGO. Inspired by the art and culture of the historic Silk Road, SILK ROAD CHICAGO ran from June 2006 to June 2007 and was created in partnership with Yo-Yo Ma's Silk Road Project, the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and the Chicago Office of Tourism, Chicago Symphony Orchestra and the Art Institute of Chicago. From concerts and exhibitions to staged readings, film, dance and other art forms, there was a myriad of ways to trace the Silk Road through Chicago.
The culmination and one of the highlights of the celebration was a series of concerts Yo-Yo Ma and his Silk Road Ensemble performed April 9–21. Joining the Chicago Symphony Orchestra on April 12, 13 and 17, Yo-Yo Ma and the Silk Road Ensemble gave the world premiere of Ambush from Ten Sides which is based on a traditional Chinese melody. On April 15 and 20, Ma and the virtuoso artists from around the world that comprise the Silk Road Ensemble performed traditional and new works that are influenced by the rich sounds of the Silk Road.
From these concerts, on July 31, Sony Classical will release a new CD of selected works from these once-in-a-lifetime performances. Preview this release here.
You can purchase this new release at Borders, Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Sony Music Store, and on iTunes!

New Impossibilities, a new live recording by Sony Classical featuring multiple-Grammy-Award-winning cellist Yo-Yo Ma, the Silk Road Ensemble, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and conductor Miguel Harth-Bedoya, will be released on July 31. The recording is the result of "Silk Road Chicago," the first city-wide year-long residency spearheaded by the Silk Road Project, the organization founded by Ma as a catalyst for promoting innovation and learning through cross-cultural and interdisciplinary partnerships. The Silk Road Project partnered with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and the Chicago Office of Tourism from June 2006 to June 2007 in a program of exhibitions, concerts, workshops, readings, films, dance performances and educational events. The new recording captures some of the concert highlights of "Silk Road Chicago."
On April 15 and 20, 2007, Ma and the Ensemble interpreted tradition-based and/or newly composed works inspired by the historic splendors of the Silk Road. The Chicago Symphony Orchestra joined them on April 12, 13 and 17 for the world premiere of Ambush From Ten Sides for Pipa, Sheng, Guitar, Cello and Orchestra, an orchestral suite which depicts the fierce battle between the kingdoms of Han and Chu that led to the founding of the Han Dynasty. The title New Impossibilities refers to Mark Twain's description in Life on the Mississippi of the bracing energy and wide-open embrace of diversity that has always characterized the great city of Chicago and its people. It also reflects the Silk Road Project's vision of connecting the world's neighborhoods by bringing together artists and audiences around the globe.
Later this season, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra will also release a disc on their new in-house label CSO Resound that showcases the symphonic repertoire highlighted as part of Silk Road Chicago. The CD, which was recorded live during performances in April at Symphony Center, features Yo-Yo Ma and the Silk Road Ensemble in collaboration with the CSO under the direction of Miguel Harth-Bedoya on works by composers such as Bloch, Sharav, Harrison, and Prokofiev.
When Yo-Yo Ma founded the Silk Road Project in 1998, even he could not have imagined its eventual impact. Like the ancient pan-Asian trade route for which it was named, the Project links the East and West. But rather than spices, carpets and rich fabrics, the Silk Road Project showcases the equally intricate beauty of several centuries-worth of single and intersecting arts traditions. Meanwhile, the Silk Road Ensemble has explored folkloric and classical music styles from Iran, Armenia, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, China, Korea, Japan, India and Turkey and new Silk Road Project-commissioned works by emerging composers from the above and other nations. Through nearly a decade of warmly inclusive adventures, Ma and his team of legendary virtuosi have charmed audiences of all ages and backgrounds, demystifying unfamiliar and sometimes enigmatic cultures and creating opportunities for positive face-to-face encounters during an era that sorely needs them.
The present disc commences with Rabih Abou-Khalil's Arabian Waltz, a sexy, poly-rhythmic piece that gives the Ensemble's string players, including a Persian kamancheh spike fiddle and a plucked Chinese pipa, plus a Japanese shakuhachi flute, a vigorous workout. Next is the Night of the Flying Horses. Composed by Osvaldo Golijov, the three movements are redolent of Eastern European and Roma (Gypsy) themes and feature the shakuhachi and sheng, a Chinese mouth organ. Hai-Hai Huang's Galloping Horses is a merrily witty sonic picture of Mongolian wild steeds on the move, with solos for pipa and double bass. Track four, the muscularly atonal, impressionistic Song of Eight Unruly Tipsy Poets, was composed by Chinese-born Zhou Long, who is now based in the USA. Kayhan Kalhor is a renowned exponent of the kamancheh and a noted composer. His The Silent City, scored for strings and percussion, is an elegy for the town of Halabja in Iraqi Kurdistan, which was destroyed in 1988. Shristi, a work by famed tabla (Indian tuned drum) master Sandeep Das, depicts the Hindu god Shiva Nataraj and his drum in the act of creating the universe. On the world premiere of Ambush From Ten Sides, a Chinese traditional melody is arranged by Li Cang Sang and China Magpie into six sweepingly cinematic visions of war and its aftermath. The album concludes with Vocussion, a Silk Road audience favorite in which the five Ensemble members who created it explode into vocal percussion effects.

- September 30, 2008
No one since Leonard Bernstein has personified the joy – or the passion – of music as has Yo-Yo Ma. That passion is obvious in the romantic themes of Appassionato. These selections, recorded between 1978 and 2006 and including 4 never-before-released tracks, tell a musical autobiography. And in a new interview with critic Ed Siegel, Ma discusses his relationships with other musicians, the value he places on family and community, and his desire to understand other cultures. Here, as in his concerts and other recordings, one can hear all those passions blending into a luminous whole.
Q: Yo-Yo, when you listen to a recording of great musicians performing together, it can seem like you're overhearing a conversation between two or more engaging people. Do you think of these collaborations as conversations?
A: Absolutely! Music, like good conversation, deals with ideas. I think of music as passionate narrative. In order to be passionate, you have to make yourself vulnerable, and in order to be vulnerable you have to have trust. To me, trust is the most vital element of any important relationship, and trust is essential to musical relationships. As I began to choose the tracks for Appassionato, my first reaction was, "My goodness, all these relationships over all these years."
I've got to tell you a story. It was 1978, and the day after we were married my wife Jill and I went down to the Spoleto Festival in Charleston, South Carolina, which was a brand new festival then. So – new festival, historical, gorgeous place. While we were there, I got a call saying, "Can you come to Paris to record The Carnival of the Animals? Philippe Entremont is conducting." Sure, why not? I was in my twenties, I was just starting out as a professional musician, and I had tons of energy. I flew from Charleston to New York to Paris, landed at 7 o'clock in the morning. Twelve hours later, we recorded "The Swan" (track . And the next day I flew back to Charleston.
The next piece that I looked at for Appassionato was the Kabalevsky Concerto (track 6). It was Eugene Ormandy's last recording. Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra – these are musicians who were my heroes growing up. I was thrilled to have a chance to feel his conducting. And the legendary Ormandy sound – rich, lush and burnished – just to see the physical motions of that man, creating that sound with the orchestra, was amazing. Isaac Stern used to say that you could put Eugene Ormandy in front of any orchestra and within thirty minutes that orchestra's sound would start to take on qualities of the Philadelphia sound.
Of the musicians who came a generation or two ahead of you, the one you're most associated with is Isaac Stern. Listening to the Brahms "Double" Concerto (track 10) it sounds at one point as if he's a mentor calming down a younger, more hot-blooded man. It must have been something to have Isaac Stern in your camp.
Oh, it was really wonderful. Outside of my cello teacher, Leonard Rose, Isaac Stern was such a mentor and colleague and friend. I've known him since I was four years old.
There is something so extraordinary about the way Isaac Stern physically carved phrases. He was never not hot-blooded, but he didn't have overt sheen or vanity in his style of playing, so he made things count with less. His sound had a lot of character. I wanted to find the right way to match that and still be in the same range as the lush Chicago Symphony sound. It was an amazing experience to work with him and, you know, I miss him a lot. They don't make 'em like that anymore.
There are nine pianists on this recording. Do they each bring different shadings that you then match, or play off of, in some way? Like Jeffrey Kahane and the elegant, jazzy transcriptions that the two of you did together?
Every person brings in his or her personality and that creates a particular sound world. Jeff grew up in California. He played in a rock band and he played in a jazz band. He's an incredibly self-motivated, curious person, always exploring the world, and at the same time thinking about how music exists in a community. He brings all of those experiences to Gershwin (track 3). I first heard about Jeff because my wife, Jill, heard him play and talk at the Van Cliburn competition and she said, "He's really interesting. You guys should work together."
Kathy Stott, I met around 1978. Jill and I had rented a flat in London from Nigel Kennedy – now known as Kennedy – and we thought we had the flat to ourselves. One day, up comes Kathy. Nigel didn't tell Kathy he had rented the place to us, and he didn't tell us he had rented the place to Kathy. Fortunately, Kathy is an incredibly lovely, sensible, direct person. What could have become a serious conflict over space became a fabulous friendship. We started playing together a number of years later.
Kathy is actually more adventurous than I am as a musician – she's fearless. We've explored the music of Astor Piazzolla and Brazilian music, but when we decided to record a whole album together, the music had to be French. Having studied with Vlado Perlmuter at the Menuhin School, Kathy is deeply immersed in the French tradition. My father studied at the César Franck School, so I grew up with French music. We recorded the Franck Sonata in A Major, (track 2) and the last movement became part of Appassionato.
For me this album epitomizes the raison d'être of the Franck Sonata, which was written as a wedding gift from Franck to the great violinist Eugène Ysaÿe. The last movement has themes that are contrapuntal, one follows the other, like the resolution of a relationship in marriage.
You've often gone outside of the classical repertoire in collaborations. What led you to Mark O'Connor, Edgar Meyer and "First Impressions" (track 13) in 1995?
Well, that's an interesting story. The first time I heard Edgar perform, I was flabbergasted by his spectacular playing. So for years I thought, "This guy is amazing. I've got to follow what he's doing." And then I met Mark O'Connor at Stephane Grappelli's 80th birthday celebration at Carnegie Hall. I said to them, "We've got to get together." And they said to me, "We're happy to make a recording, but we have to meet once a month for a year just to work together and get used to one another. Otherwise it won't work." And about the second month in, I said, "Gee, it's sounding really good" and they sort of looked at me, not saying anything, and then I realized they didn't think it sounded that good. [laughs] To learn that style was a huge departure. I had to work really hard. It's like what Isaac Stern said, "In music it's not about the notes, it's what happens in between the notes."
This is the difference between being a consumer and being a participant. As a consumer, I thought, "Gee this music is great and I'd love to be in on it." But then as a participant, I realized it's not that easy. To really get inside it took a lot of time.
Playing with Mark and Edgar gave me new insight into how to play baroque music. So when I was re-recording the Bach Suites for the television series Inspired by Bach, I changed my bow grip and really thought differently. That led me to want to work with Ton Koopman and the Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra. What I love about Ton and the ABO is their passionate commitment to playing period instruments to the highest standards and with the greatest creativity. We recorded music by Boccherini – who was one of the first great cellists – Bach, and more recently, Vivaldi. For Appassionato I chose Vivaldi's "Winter" from The Four Seasons, (track 4) which I think is not just about the season but about a seasonal aspect of relationships.
I think you've said that it isn't much of a stretch from classical music to Astor Piazzolla.
Well, it is and it isn't. I don't tend to think in categories, so while some people would say that this album includes a lot of different kinds of music, I just think it's all great music. In terms of playing the music, though, I have to say that it is a stretch. I had a copy of the music for Piazzolla's "Le Grand Tango" which he wrote for Rostropovich. For a number of years I kept looking at it and thinking, "I don't get it." I couldn't find a way into the piece. And then Jeff Kahane and I went to Argentina, and I got a better understanding of Piazzolla's culture from the inside, and I started to understand his music.
I had the great joy and privilege of working with the guitarist Horacio Malvocino in 1997. Horacio was perhaps Piazzolla's oldest friend, and he told me that I had to play "Soledad" (track 11). He said it was the saddest piece that Piazzolla ever wrote, and if you know any of his music, you know that that's quite a statement. To me, "Soledad" (Solitude) contains an exquisite sense of longing, and what's more romantic than that? I wanted to include "Soledad" on Appassionato, but I needed a pianist. Osvaldo Golijov introduced me to Octavio Brunetti, who is a wonderful tango pianist. Within minutes it felt as if we'd been playing together for years.
And we have the choros "Doce de coco" (track 5) that I love so much, from Brazil. The choros is like the Brazilian equivalent of what fado is to Portugal. It's the longing, looking for a loved one. The great clarinetist Paquito D'Rivera likes to say that even though he is Cuban, his heart is half-Brazilian because he loves the music so much. I know exactly what he means. Romero Lubambo, the guitarist on this track, is a beautiful musician and he's the most gentle soul.
You've worked with almost all of today's best composers. Two of them on Appassionato – John Williams and Ennio Morricone – are perhaps best known for their film music.
John Williams has been a great friend. I love talking to him. He's very wide-ranging, always curious and looking for new things to learn. In addition to being an extraordinary composer, John is also a fabulous pianist, but he doesn't play that much anymore. I've been asking him to play with me for years, and he never said no, but somehow it just never worked out. I was so happy that he was willing to do this piano and cello version of a piece we had recorded for Memoirs of a Geisha. "Going to School" (track 1) is innocent love, first love – a wonderful sunny and youthful piece.
We have two Morricone tracks: "Nostalgia" (track 7) and "Gabriel's Oboe." I think "Gabriel's Oboe" (track 15) is one of the most overtly romantic pieces of music. It's so opulent. It has layers and layers and layers of emotion. Morricone has an unbelievable gift of melody.
That brings us to the Silk Road Project. Looking at your schedule, one might think that the last thing you need is another major project, but this one is particularly dear to you.
I think nobody grows up today listening to only one kind of music. There are great classical traditions everywhere. So between Persian classical music, Indian classical music, Azeri classical music, and so forth, there's so much to explore. In this day and age, we should know the world. Right? I think the best way to know the world is to become participants, rather than consumers. It is crucial to find generous people who want to share, who think: "This is what I know. You can get in on it."
So we have this piece that is actually sung on both sides of the border of Kazakhstan and China, "Swallow Song," (track 9) which is a love song. For Appassionato, Kojiro Umezaki and I created a version for Japanese bamboo flute (shakuhachi) and cello.
With the younger players, like Joel Fan who joins you for Mamiya's "Finnish Folk Song No. 4" (track 12), have you come full circle from being someone who was taken under the wing of Isaac Stern to now being the mentor yourself?
Well, I don't like to think of myself as a mentor. What I found out, in terms of being a parent, is that I learn so much from my two children. They see a different world than I see. As I get older and my own mentors age and die, working with younger people is incredibly stimulating because I get to see the world through their eyes. The younger people that I work with probably teach me more than I can give to them.
And what of your most famous collaborator, Emanuel Ax? By now, you must be able to have conversations without words.
We've known each other for thirty-five years now. It's wonderful. We're still great friends and continually experimenting with things. This album would not be complete if Manny wasn't part of it. One of the pieces we had never recorded was Song Without Words (track 14) by Mendelssohn.
You're right, we do have a shorthand. We know each other's timing really well – we kind of feel it. He has such a great sense of humor and we also have common core values. Manny and I go through different phases of life and we learn things and get back together, share what we've learned, and then go back off again. It's a very, very special relationship.

They say they are saving the planet one repair at a time at Milosch's Palace Collision Center on Lapeer Road. It is not just some catchy slogan.A few years ago, the body shop and parts distribution warehouse was a contaminated brownfield."There was oil reservoirs just sitting on the floor and oil dripping from the ceiling," said owner Brian Milosch.He put the money and the time into cleaning it up. Now the 61,000 square foot facility is filled with green features, including solar panels on the roof that generate about 10 percent of the building's electricity from the sun."Even the oil from our oil changes, we have waste oil burners that actually burns the oil that heats actually half of the building," Milosch said.The shop also recycles its solvents. They used to throw away 50 gallons of turpentine every month, and they got a $10,000 credit from DTE to install energy efficient T5 lighting.Milosch said his biggest money savings comes from recycling. He actually sells 90 percent of the recycled materials instead of paying to have them hauled away."So actually it pays to be green in this case, and none of that's going to the landfill anymore," he told us.Milosch used the money he made from recycling to put in a different kind of body shop -- a gym for employees.Even the paint booths, which use half the gas and electricity of the old ones, were installed with the help of workers and the planet in mind.

What can I say that the numbers don't already prove? 179% growth. . it's INSANE! Thank you soooooo much to my dear friend Josh for turning me onto this a few months ago. Zeek Rewards is, without question, the best MLM opportunity in the world today, bar none. Thanks to the management at Zeek Rewards for creating the BEST affiliate program on the internet today !!!! For the first time in my MLM career I have been able to "successfully"; share an opportunity with my closest friends and family and they ALL LOVE IT!! This is the simplest business you will EVER find. Zeek Rewards truly ROCKS!
