Best Time to Buy Bizjets is Now, Says Jetcraft
Business aircraft sales firm Jetcraft is "seeing clear evidence" of a return to a more stable pricing environment for large-cabin, long-range business jets. "There has been a significant reduction in the gap between buyer and seller price expectations, due in part to the reduction of distressed assets that flooded the market in late 2008," noted company co-owner Jahid Fazal-Karim. "Additionally, the OEMs now have stronger order backlogs, which has reduced the pressure to discount prices on new aircraft." The current recovery is being driven by emerging markets, including China, India, Russia and Africa, he added. "There has been speculation as to when prices of business aircraft would bottom out. After a significant drop across all categories beginning in late 2008, we have now seen an increase in prices of larger, longer-range, higher-end business aircraft," according to Fazal-Karim. "Thus, we believe that the window of opportunity for discount buyers is now closing."

Mailbag: Smyly, Kemp, Beckett, Braun, LowriePosted by: | Comments
Nine questions this week, so it's another rapid fire mailbag with short-ish answers. Use the Submit A Tip box in the sidebar to send us anything at anytime.
Peter asks: Should the Yankees speak to the Tigers about trading for Drew Smyly and turn him back into a starter? How well do they match up and what would you give up?
To answer the question, yes, I think the Yankees should look to trade for Smyly so they can convert him back into a starter. Jon Morosi says the Tigers are fielding offers for Max Scherzer, Doug Fister, and Rick Porcello as a way to plug other roster holes and clear payroll with Smyly taking over the vacated rotation spot. The Yankees should have interest in all of those guys — slightly less interest in Porcello, who needs a good infield defense to be effective — including Smyly. I looked at the 24-year-old southpaw as a trade candidate last winter and everything still holds true, except he now has a season as elite reliever (2.37 ERA and 2.31 FIP) under his belt and one fewer year of team control. Tigers GM Dave Dombrowski doesn't trade for prospects (he trades them away), he'll want big league pieces in return. Detroit needs bullpen help and I'd give them David Robertson (free agent after 2014) for Smyly (free agent after 2018) in a heartbeat, but I suspect it'll cost a bit more than that.
Ross asks: With the focus on the $189 million goal this off-season, what's the likelihood the Yankees give extra years to free agents with a lower average annual value to separate their offers from other bidders?
An example of this would be signing Brian McCann for eight years and $81M ($10.125M luxury tax hit) instead of five years and $75M ($15M tax hit). The extra years lower the average annual value and thus the luxury tax hit while putting a little more money in McCann's pocket for his cooperation. The Collective Bargaining Agreement covers potential luxury tax circumvention, and this type of maneuver would fall under that. The league would flag it and probably void the deal. It's a good idea in theory — I've seen people suggest giving Alex Rodriguez a multi-year extension worth $1M a year to lower his tax hit — but I don't think it would fly in reality. MLB doesn't take too kindly to teams trying to game the system.
Mark asks: How do you like Chris Iannetta as a consolation prize for losing out on McCann? Would add a little bit more power to the bottom of the order.
Iannetta, 30, hit .225/.358/.372 (111 wRC+) this past season and has a 100 wRC+ with a 15.5% walk rate over the last three seasons. He's also usually good for double digit homers. Iannetta isn't a good defensive catcher these days (2013, 2012, 2011, 2010 rankings) and he's owed $10.225M through 2015 ($5.1125M tax hit). The Angels are looking to stay under the luxury tax threshold themselves and one way they've discussed doing that is by dealing Iannetta and giving the catching reigns to young Hank Conger. Iannetta is better than the guys the Yankees have in-house and if they don't bring in another catcher via free agency, he makes sense as a trade target. The Halos want pitching, so maybe something like Adam Warren for Iannetta makes sense for both sides. Not sure if that's enough though. Just spit-balling here.
Glen asks: The White Sox are open to trading Alexei Ramirez. What would it take to get him and should the Yankees do it?
Well, according to Mark Gonzales, the White Sox turned Carlos Martinez when the Cardinals offered the one-for-one swap prior to the trade deadline. Jon Heyman shot that down, which makes sense because I can't imagine Chicago would decline an offer like that. They'd be crazy. The 32-year-old Ramirez is basically Eduardo Nunez with a better glove and a much more expensive contract ($10.25M tax hit through 2015). He's a total hacker (3.2% walk rate last two years) with no power (.098). I would prefer simply signing Brendan Ryan, who will play similar (if not better) defense and hit for a lower average but come far, far cheaper. I know good shortstops are hard to find, but I am not a Ramirez fan at all.
Bill asks: Any interest in Matt Kemp as a trade target?
Yes, but two things need to happen first. For starters, the Dodgers would have to eat a whole bunch of money. Kemp is owed $128M through 2019 ($21.3M tax hit) and I'd be willing to take him on at $16M or so annually. That means Los Angeles would have to kick in about $32M or so, a lot in the real world but little relative to the contract. Secondly, Kemp would have to go through a very thorough physical. The guy had ankle surgery a few weeks ago and left shoulder (labrum) surgery last winter, plus he's missed a bunch of time with hamstring problems the last two years. There is evidence that hitters who have their front shoulder surgically repaired (like Kemp last winter) can lose bat speed and power for a long time and perhaps permanently. Adrian Gonzalez is a very good example — his power isn't nearly what it was pre-2010 shoulder surgery. It has to do with the mechanics (and biomechanics, I suppose) of the swing and everything like that. Click the link, it's interesting stuff. Kemp just turned 29 in September and his upside (MVP level performance fro, 2011-2012) is so very high that it's hard to ignore. The salary needs to be offset and the body (especially the shoulder) needs to be checked out first, but yes, I'm interested.
Aaron asks: Any interest in Gordon Beckham for 3B? I know its been a few years but I think he's still young enough to handle the switch back over.
Not anymore. I liked Beckham a few years ago and thought he was salvageable, but we're going on nearly 2,500 career plate appearances with an 86 wRC+ now (88 wRC+ in 2013). Yes, he is only 27 and a breakout could be right around the corner, but Matt Swartz projects him to earn $3.5M next year and that's a little pricey for a reclamation project in my opinion. I don't think the transition from second base over to third will be much of a problem — hell, he still might be an option at shortstop — but it's everything else that comes along with it, namely the price tag and noodle bat.
Travis asks: I'm thinking outside the box and more than likely this is one of the stupidest things you've heard in a while, but what if a team traded for Josh Beckett and made him a closer? He's a former Red Sock, so I wouldn't suggest Yankees, but someone?
That is
stupid outside the box. (Kidding!) Beckett, 33, made only eight starts this year before needing surgery for Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, which is what effectively ended Chris Carpenter's career. It's serious stuff but not always a career-ender. Dillon Gee and Matt Harrison have both dealt with it recently and come back perfectly fine. Beckett's stuff has been fading in recent years and he was only sitting 90-91 with his fastball before getting hurt this year, and he's a very different pitcher at 90-91 than he was was 95-96 a few years ago. Maybe a move to relief will bring back some velocity. If he can't hold up as a starter anymore following the surgery, the bullpen would be worth exploring. I wouldn't want to be the one to trade for him and try it, though.
Mark asks: Assume the Yankees part ways with Robinson Cano, any chance you see them trying to acquire Ryan Braun? Or does he have too much baggage with his PED suspension? Not sure the Brewers are open to dealing him, but I suspect they are given how bad the team is. Assuming he is available, he could fill the void in RF or 3B (can't be much worse than Miguel Cabrera), is just 29 and is signed to a super team-friendly deal through 2021 (when he turns 37) at $16.5 million per year.
Believe it or not, Braun is still pretty popular in Milwaukee. This isn't an A-Rod situation where pretty much everyone hates him. Braun is beloved by fans and his team (again, unlike A-R0d) and there's no real desire to get rid of him. He's the franchise cornerstone and they're going to move forward with him as the centerpiece despite the PED stuff. Even if they wanted to get rid of him, I don't think the Yankees don't have the pieces to get a player of that caliber. It's not like the Brewers would just give him away to save face and money. It's a nice idea — he'd fit wonderfully in right field (third base isn't happening, I don't think "can't be much worse than Miguel Cabrera" is a good enough reason to play him there) — and in the middle of the lineup, but it ain't happening.
Mike asks: Would Jed Lowrie make sense as a possible trade target? He's in his last year of arbitration this season before becoming a free agent in 2015. He's a SS who has played 3B and 2B in the past, and he had a good year where he stayed healthy (finally) in 2013. If Billy Beane was inclined to deal him (would he be?), what kind of package would the Yankees have to give up?
Yes, he definitely makes sense. The 29-year-old Lowrie managed to stay healthy for a full season for the first time in his career this past summer, hitting 15 homers with a 121 wRC+ in a pitcher's park. He can play shortstop but his defense is spotty, though he does make up for it with the stick. Matt Swartz projects him to earn $4.8M in 2014 and there's a decent chance he'll be worth a qualifying offer after the season, meaning he'll net a draft pick if he doesn't sign a long-term contract. Again, I'm not sure if the Yankees have enough to swing a trade for a player of Lowrie's caliber — for what it's worth, Joel Sherman hears the Athletics aren't looking to trade him in the wake of the Nick Punto signing — but he's a definite fit at this point in time.
Update: Dodgers and Red Sox complete blockbuster tradePosted by: | Comments
Saturday: It's a done deal. The Sox are sending Beckett, Gonzalez, Crawford, and Punto to the Dodgers for James Loney and four prospects — RHP Allen Webster, RHP Rubby De La Rosa, IF Ivan DeJesus, and OF/1B Jerry Sands. Boston is paying just $12M of the $270M+ they're dumping. Pretty crazy. I'll have some more analysis on how this indirectly impacts the Yankees sometime this weekend.
Friday: Via Gordon Edes, the Dodgers and Red Sox are working on a blockbuster trade that would send Josh Beckett, Adrian Gonzalez, Carl Crawford, and Nick Punto to Los Angeles. Both Beckett and Gonzalez were claimed off trade waivers by the Dodgers earlier today while Crawford and Punto cleared earlier this month. For what it's worth, Edes says the two sides are "closing in" on a deal.
First of all: holy crap. Second of all: why couldn't it be Pedro Ciriaco instead of Punto? Third of all: Boston clearing that much money would be bad for the Yankees, at least in the sense that the Sawx could theoretically spend the savings elsewhere to improve the team. That's much easier said than done, of course. Either way, this would be some kind of trade, potentially the largest of my lifetime considering the caliber of players and the size of the contracts involved.
Indians hitting Beckett where it hurtsPosted by: | Comments
The Cleveland Indians, in an effort to one-up Manny Ramirez in the showmanship department, have asked one of Josh Beckett's ex-girlfriends to sing the National Anthem tonight. If that isn't distracting enough, Cleveland will then drop nests of little mosquitoes all over the pitcher's mound in the bottom of the first.
Who could have foreseen this?Posted by: | Comments
Josh Beckett having trouble with the skin on his finger? You don't say.
Josh Beckett sucks at something else besides pitchingPosted by: | Comments
Seriously, how many people are going to keep calling this guy an ace before they open their eyes? Anyways…
And speaking of the Reebok party, Red Sox hurler Josh Beckett had eight strikeouts earlier in the day at Fenway. But unfortunately his K-streak continued at Underbar, where one striking young redhead didn't buy his pitch!
We hear Beckett homed in on the party gal and opened with his best line: "Hey, you.†Blown away by his sparkling repartee, Big Red responded by saying "hi,†and then walked away.
"She knew who he was, but she's from Michigan and doesn't have the hero worship for the Red Sox,†said our spy on the scene. "Plus she doesn't care about him being a pro athlete.â€
"He then comes up to her again – now on the other side of the bar – and starts whispering sweet nothings into her ear,†said our source. "She can't really figure out what he's saying, so she says, 'Great game today. Congratulations.â€
He responds with "Huh?†So she repeats it. And receives yet another, "Huh?â€
"You. Pitched. A. Great. Game,†she said.
His response: "Are you wasted?†Her response: "No, I just got here.â€
"He then looked at her funny and wandered off,†said our source.
"Hey baby, are your parents retarded? Cause you're a pretty special girl" might have worked better. Maybe Beckett should stick to what David Ortiz does best and…ahem…bring men home.

The art of deception, by Josh BeckettPosted by: | Comments
Since there was no Yankees game yesterday — much to my rain-soaked chagrin — it seems appropriate to rag on the Red Sox, and Josh Beckett specifically.
I had planned to watch the Sox/Royals game last night, but a few tasks kept me from tuning in until the second inning, when it was already 3-0 Sox. Great. But, since Josh Beckett was on the mound, I figured it was still worth a watch. I flipped it off after the third, when Mark Teahen and Mike Sweeney blew a first and second, one out situation. I was disheartened once again in the fourth, after watching the Royals score a run, followed by Beckett finishing off the side.
The Red Sox increasing their lead kept me from flipping back to the game. So, in my ignorance, I believed that Josh Beckett pitched a good game. Boy, was I wrong.
First, he only ended up pitching five innings, leaving things to the bullpen for four. They ended up pitching well, but if they end up pitching four innings a game a couple times a week (and they've pitched nine so far in two games), they're screwed. That's a lot of strain on a bunch of mediocre or sub-mediocre arms.
The next stat that stands out is his strike total. 94 pitches, 46 strikes. Yes, folks, Josh Beckett threw more balls than strikes last night. That was reflected in his four walks, though he did strike out five and only surrender two hits.
It's that kind of wildness that has many believing that Beckett is not one of the "aces" that were heralded on ESPN in February and March. He may have walked away looking decent last night, but if you're walking four in five innings, you're going to give up a few more runs on most nights.
If Beckett doesn't improve significantly on this wildness (he surely won't throw 51 percent of his pitches for balls every night), he's going to run into a familiar problem: taters. Wildness can mean leaving pitches out of the zone and issuing a lot of walks, but it can also mean missing in the zone. And when you miss out over the plate, guys are going to take you deep, especially hitters in the AL East.
Of course, it is the first start of the season, and I may be jumping the gun a bit. However, it's not like he pitched lights out last year and had an off game yesterday. In fact, yesterday seemed like a mere extension of last season. Here's to hoping it's another long one for Beckett and the Sox.

McDonald (hip) returned to the court on Wednesday against Duquense scoring three points, six assists, three rebounds, and two steals in 26 minutes of action.
McDonald was held out of George Washington's game against Dayton before returning on Wednesday. He started the Colonial's next game on Saturday against Fordham scoring eight points, with four assists, and two rebounds. On the season, McDonald is averaging 7.9 points with more than four rebounds and assists per game.
January 31, 2014
RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
McDonald (hip) is doubtful for Saturday's game against Dayton, Jon Rothstein of CBSSports.com reports.
With McDonald, the team's starting point guard, likely out of action, George Washington may turn to Maurice Creek, Miguel Cartagena or Nick Griffin to run the point. McDonald has shown improvement in his sophomore season, with averages 8.1 points, 4.2 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.9 steals in 27.8 minutes.
December 12, 2013
RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
McDonald poured in a season-high 20 points Wednesday against Boston, adding nine rebounds, two assists and three steals.
McDonald fell one point short of matching his career-high, which ironically came last season against the Terriers. McDonald just missed a triple double in Sunday's game against Maryland, scoring 13 points, dishing out nine assists and grabbing eight rebounds. He's clicking right now, and while he contributes across the board, his season scoring average is just 9.2 points.

Hopwood Cellars Winery is located in the Village of Zionsville at 12 E Cedar St. In 1994 Ron started thinking and working out the details to open the winery. Hopwood Cellars has been in existence since 1996, however it has not been where the public can come and enjoy their wines. After much thought and research Ron and Janet found the perfect location.
Downtown Zionsville offers brick paved streets with a variety of wonderful shops, restaurants and galleries. You can park on the street and walk through the beautiful town, shopping or just sight seeing.
At Hopwood Cellars Winery you can step up to the wine bar and taste the wines that were made with local Midwest grapes, many from Indiana. You can purchase by the glass and relax with us or by the bottle.
So come on by the cellar and pick up a bottle of fine wine for your next occasion.
Drink wine, and you will sleep well.
Sleep, and you will not sin.
Avoid sin, and you will be saved.
Ergo, drink wine and be saved.

Im not sure were to post this but I found this game called spelunky awile back, Its exreamly addictive and thought someone here might enjoy it!
Its kind of a dungeon crawler mario game.
May 28, 2009
There is a game thread somewhere in the forums, but I couldn't tell you where it is off hand.
Posting like you did will is fine too. And I should know. I posted a comic yesterday that technically should have been posted in the "Joke" thread. Ain't nobody come knocking on my door to arrest me for that. Yet…
Welcome to the forum. Feel free to kick up yer feet and stay awhile.
May 28, 2009
True that.
I was thinking that there aren't usually that many comics that get posted, so why not put them in the Jokes thread and keep all the funny stuff in one place.
So yes, it is me that decided I should have put it in the Jokes thread. Sorry if it sounded like I was implying that anyone else had said that.
Besides, talking about it here will give the Jokes thread more advertising.

Lone Peak
Lone Peak is a minimum-security facility intended for offenders who are nearing the end of their sentences. Inmates housed in this facility have earned a high level of privileges through positive behavior and a willingness to adhere to prison rules and protocols. Offenders housed here can generally travel off site under constant officer supervision in order to perform duties with work crews.
(Above photo courtesy of Trent Nelson, The Salt Lake Tribune)
Within Lone Peak is one of Draper's two geriatric dormitory housing areas for aging offenders (the other being in the Oquirrhs). The prison makes an effort to house elderly offenders (55+ in the prison system) who might be less able to care for themselves with a younger, more capable offender who can help to take care of them or assist in menial tasks. This also keeps the less able offenders separate from the rest of the population and those offenders who might exploit their disabilities or weaknesses for their own gain. The unit is equipped with special ADA accommodations.

Stephen Jones designs high fashion helmets for cause
Milliner Stephen Jones, known for making beautiful hats that are appreciated by celebrities like Rihanna and Lady Gaga, has created high fashion bicycle helmets.
Not the run-of-the-mill helmets, the unique sporting headgear, modelled by Jodie Kidd and her partner David Blakeley, was commissioned by milk brand Cravendale to raise awareness of its limited edition Sport Relief bottles, which raise money for the charity, reports mirror.co.uk.
The three unique helmets include intricate handcrafted acrylic sculptures designed to give the effect of giant splashes of fresh Cravendale milk. Sitting atop each of these sculptures is an eye-catching athletic embellishment that takes inspiration from the Olympic Games - including a real red running shoe, blue swimming goggles and even a green bicycle wheel.
From concept to construction, the haute couture cycle helmets took more than 50 hours of millinery to complete and fans of the designs will be able to see the marvellous craftsmanship that has gone into each one when they'll be on display at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in London March 23.
Commenting on the designs, Jones said: "When I was approached by Cravendale to create these cycle helmets, it seemed like a marvellous opportunity to raise awareness of a fantastic charitable cause and posed an interesting creative challenge: how to turn pieces of sporting headgear into examples of haute couture millinery."
"Ultimately I wanted these cycle helmets to reflect the fun, family spirit of Sport Relief, while also being bold style statements. With these three designs, I think we've certainly achieved that."

This blog documents everything (of interest) that I discover in the art section of my old university library. My other blog is here: mailartmanchester.tumblr.com Contact: firstname.lastname@example.com
Nigel Henderson, Parallel of Life and Art; Victoria Walsh, Thames and Hudson, 2001.
This is almost definitely the best book I have yet come across in the library. It's become a sort of inspirational presence within my studio space. You'd think there'd be nothing else I could get from it I've looked at it so much, but somehow each time I do I'm as absorbed as I was the first time.
Most of the illustrations and photos in here are black and white, which is pretty unusual for a modern book.
Nigel Henderson was best mates will Paolozzi. That should say a lot.
There's street photography, photograms, collage, assemblage, sculpture. He has such a consistently good eye in all of it. But for me the most interesting parts are the bits that document the exhibitions he put on - Parallel of Life and Art in 1953, and Patio and Pavilion in the famous 'This is Tomorrow' exhibition of 1956.

Spring Semester 2009
4 – 6:30 p.m. p.m. Wednesdays, Armory 206A
Professor: Paul Voakes (Dean, School of Journalism and Mass Communication)
Office: Armory 119
Office Hours: By appointment only
Telephone: 492-4364 (office); 303-449-5570 (home).
e-mail: email@example.com
As future media professionals you have the opportunity to make significant contributions to society.
But what does that really mean? What does it mean to be a citizen within contemporary society? How can you contribute? What roles do the media and media professionals play in the practices of citizenship? This course invites you to explore all of these questions. We'll look at the relationship between the individual and collective responsibilities, how we connect with others and how the media engage with contemporary social issues.
Your intellectual challenge in this course issynthesis. I want to help you build your skills at taking seemingly disparate, unrelated elements in life and seeing links, patterns and commonalities. For example, we will consider the role of the millennial generation (that's you!) in the solution of global problems; the ethical challenges faced by young people and by media professionals; the challenges of working toward a bachelor's degree in a research university like CU-Boulder; and the value of service to community and to humankind. How on earth can all of those elements possibly be coherently related? That is our challenge – every week – for the next 16 weeks.
The course includes service learning (a form of learning that involves helping others outside the classroom), so we will work with and provide service to an organization within the CU-Boulder community. Working with the community and people who are different from us helps each of us get clearer about the causes we believe in, the hows and whys of inequality, and eventually, what role media professionals might play.
To further develop an understanding of media possibilities, the course includes a wide variety of guest speakers from various media communities who have produced messages with the intent of creating some kind of social change.
These Are My Expectations of Youfor this course:
1) Attendance at several sessions of the Conference on World Affairs
2) 15-20 hours of Community Service over 12 weeks
3) Attend class every week
4) Be accountable for your actions
5) Challenge yourself
6) Challenge me
7) Come prepared
8) Be willing to engage
The School of Journalism and Mass Communication is committed to training students in 11 fundamental communication competencies, and this course addresses one of these competencies in particular: "Demonstrate an understanding of professional ethical principles and work ethically in pursuit of truth, accuracy, fairness and diversity."
There are four required textbooks:
Andreatta, Britt.Navigating the Research University: A Guide for First-Year Students.2ndEd. Boston: Wadsworth Cengage Learning. 2009.
Bugeja, Michael.Living Ethics: Across Media Platforms.New York: Oxford University Press. 2008.
Greenberg, Eric H., with Karl Weber.Generation We: How Millennial Youth Are Taking Over America and Changing Our World Forever. Emeryville, CA: Pachatusan. 2008.
Loeb, Paul Rogat (Ed.)The Impossible Will Take a Little While: A Citizen's Guide to Hope in a Time of Fear.New York: Basic Books. 2004.
In addition, there will be occasional electronic "handouts" on the CU Learn course Website. Please come to class prepared to discuss all of the readings assigned for each particular week. Because participation is a major part of your course grade, and you probably cannot participate without having completed the readings, negligence in this area is not a good idea. I am anticipating that you'll spend an average of three hours preparing (mostly reading assigned readings and sometimes blogging about them), for each class meeting.
There will be two examinations: one midterm exam and one final exam. The midterm is tentatively scheduled for Feb. 25, and it will take approximately 75 minutes. The final is scheduled for May 4, and it will take approximately two hours.
Examinations will cover material discussed in class as well as all required readings (textbook and other handouts). The exams will consist almost entirely of questions you can answer in a paragraph or short essay.
There will be no make-ups for missed exams except under the most extraordinary conditions. The reason must be documented, and I must be notified of your absence IN ADVANCE, unless an extreme emergency prevents your doing so.
There will also be five or six short quizzes during the semester, just to make sure we're all keeping up with the readings, lectures, and class discussions. They will take about 10 minutes each, and I will announce them a week in advance. They will usually be objective (multiple choice, true-false, etc.). There will be no make-ups of missed quizzes under any circumstances, so please do not ask. I will, however, drop your lowest score when I compute your quiz average.
We will use blogging as a way to process information and share perspectives before and after class. Each of you will be assigned two days during the semester when it will be your turn to lead, that is, to take responsibility to provide the initial comment on the course blog on our CU Learn site. On one of those days, you'll be the first to post a thoughtful assessment about the readings for an upcoming class. On your other "blog leader" day, you'll be the first to post a thoughtful reaction to the guest speaker or whatever other activity highlighted the class that just ended. I expect the blog entries to range from 100 to 500 words. Blog entries are available to everyone in the class, and every time you respond to the initial blog, you boost your "participation" grade.
Most class sessions will follow an informal lecture/discussion format; that is, polite interruptions are welcome at all times, with questions and discussion encouraged.
I consider attendance and participation to be extremely important, especially as we're meeting only once a week. If you know you will miss a class, calling and leaving word in advance (with my assistant, Amy Belue, at 492-4364) is always better than just not showing up and hoping I won't notice.
One of the goals of the course is to stimulate your thinking about community – and how a media professional serves a community as part of this country's greater democratic project. So we'll start at a modest, manageable level of service to the CU-Boulder community. You will be expected to undergo training in January and to begin your service in the first week of February (I will explain in more detail during our first class meeting), and to continue your service through the end of April. You will average 1-2 hours of this service per week.
"This I Believe" is a national media project, based on a radio program by the same name in the 1950s, that engages people in writing, sharing, and discussing the core values and beliefs that guide their daily lives. NPR airs these three-minute essays on All Things Considered, Tell Me More and Weekend Edition Sunday.
In this course you will produce two pieces suitable for broadcast on npr's "This I Believe" segment. The first is due March 18, and it will be very similar to the pieces you can hear on the This I Believe Website (when you get a chance in the next few weeks, please visit http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4538138), that is, a two-minute personal statement in which you discuss something you believe (or believe in). The second piece is due April 15 (in its first draft) and again April 29 (final draft). This will be a two-minute piece (edited carefully by you) that results from an interview you have conducted – a piece in which an adult you've gotten to knowonly in this semester talks about a belief he or she strongly holds. The second This I Believe will be posted on the course Web site, and I will submit all of them to NPR, for their consideration for national broadcast.
Each of us will be a planner, attendee and volunteer staff member in the 61stannual Conference on World Affairs, an all-volunteer forum that explores contemporary issues in the arts, media, science, diplomacy, technology, environment, spirituality, politics, business, medicine, human rights, and so on. Film critic Roger Ebert, who participated in the CWA for 38 consecutive years, refers to the CWA as "the Conference on Everything Conceivable." Each April, 110 speaker/participants from around the world, representing a wide range of backgrounds, gather in Boulder for what The New York Times calls "a week-long extravaganza of discussion and debate" on over 200 panels, plenaries and performances. This year the CWA will take place April 6-10.
This class will participate first as members of the "Student Subcommittee," which suggests ideas for CWA panels based on the strengths, backgrounds (and sometimes the suggestions) of the 110 speaker/participants coming to Boulder. (I will explain in more detail in the first two weeks of class). We will convene during parts of the weekend of Feb. 14-15 with the entire CWA planning organization, to hammer out the CWA program.
During the conference itself in April, you will be assigned to be either a driver (if you have access to a reliable vehicle), a panel producer or a member of the marketing staff.
Your final grade in the course will be determined by these proportions:
Quizzes 5%
Blog Leadership 5%
Midterm Exam 10%
Final Exam 25%
Reflective Paper: CWA 5%
Participation in CWA 5%
Reflective Paper: Service 10%
Participation in Service 5%
This I Believe (Part I) 10%
This I Believe (Part II) 10%
Weekly Participation 10%
Assignments turned in late will lose at least one full grade for each day that they are late. If you are unable to attend class on the day a written or audio assignment is due, the assignment must still be turned in before class begins (except for extraordinary extenuating circumstances).
I have no plans to offer extra-credit assignments. If I do offer any extra credit, it will be available to the entire class.
I expect you to do your own work. CU has an honor code, with which you should be generally familiar by now. A few highlights:
A student must not intentionally adopt or reproduce ideas, words or statements of another person without acknowledgement.
A student must give due credit to the originality of others and honestly pay his/her literary debts. S/he should acknowledge indebtedness:
1. Whenever s/he quotes another person's actual words;
2. Whenever s/he uses another's idea, opinion, or theory;
3. Whenever s/he borrows facts, statistics, or other illustrative material -- unless the information is common knowledge.
The guidelines on plagiarism are especially important as you write your papers. If you're not familiar with the overall policy on academic misconduct, please consult http://www.colorado.edu/academics/honorcode/Home.html. Cheating on quizzes or exams or submitting someone else's work as your own are also examples of academic dishonesty and will be severely punished. You can almost certainly expect a grade of F, either for the assignment or for the entire course, if I conclude that you have committed academic misconduct. Normally an instructor must also consider whether to bring up your case with the dean. This semester we will most certainly skip that step.
That doesn't mean you can't help each other gather information on projects or other homework. Share tips on how to find things; share your ideas about what the readings mean. However,your writingmust be your own and must reflectyour own views and conclusions. Copying and pasting another's work and passing it off as your own isseriousacademic misconduct.
If you qualify for accommodations because of a disability, please submit to me a letter from Disability Services in a timely manner so that your needs may be addressed. Disability Services determines accommodations based on documented disabilities. Contact: 303-492-8671, Willard 322, and www.Colorado.EDU/disabilityservices.
I will make every effort to reasonably and fairly deal with any students who, because of religious obligations, have conflicts with scheduled exams, assignments or required attendance. Please notify me at least one week before your anticipated absence, and we will devise a make-up plan. See the full details on the campus policy at http://www.colorado.edu/policies/fac_relig.html
Students and faculty each have responsibility for maintaining an appropriate learning environment. Students who fail to adhere to such behavioral standards may be subject to discipline. I have the professional responsibility to treat all students with understanding, dignity and respect, to guide classroom discussion and to set reasonable limits on the manner in which you and I express opinions. Professional courtesy and sensitivity are especially important with respect to individuals and topics dealing with differences of race, culture, religion, politics, sexual orientation, gender variance, and nationalities. In this course, we will deal with all of these, and a few other, sensitive areas. See the full campus policy at
and at
You are responsible for knowing the information on the syllabus and for announcements made in class, including changes to the schedule, as well as material distributed in class. Material distributed in class is available on CU Learn or with Amy (if I don't have an electronic version.
I often send emails to the entire class via your CU account. You are responsible for this information. If you are using another email account, check that it is being forwarded properly from your CU account.
All written assignments must be typed, and they must exhibit levels of punctuation, spelling, grammar and style appropriate to an advanced journalism undergraduate. Part of your grade on each writing assignment will be the quality of your writing.
I became dean of the SJMC in July 2003, having spent the previous nine years as a professor at the Indiana University School of Journalism. My Ph.D. is in Mass Communication from the University of Wisconsin, with a specialization in media law and ethics. My research and teaching specializations are in mass media law and ethics, and reporting, writing and editing.
My master's and bachelor's degrees are from the University of California. Before entering academia I was a journalist for 15 years at a few different newspapers in the San Francisco Bay Area, working as a reporter, business editor, city editor, editorial page editor, and most recently, editorial writer and op-ed columnist for theSan Jose Mercury News. In the summer of 2000, I returned to professional work as a political reporter and editor at the PortlandOregonian.
I have also taught journalism at California-Berkeley and Stanford University.

Things to Ponder When Thinking About the Best Web Hosting Sites
Millions of websites have been published on the internet over the past twenty years. An untold number of new websites are published each and every day. There is a common thread among all these scores of different websites. In order for a website to go live, it has to be hosted on a server. This is where a web hosting company comes into play. There are quite a number of website hosting services to choose from and that is a good thing. The more sites one has access to, the better the potential to sign up with a hosting service that is most capable of delivering on expectations.
This might require performing a little research into which sites really are the best web hosting sites. Such a task can be a little difficult since there are scores of subjective points that can be found when trying to define a particular service as being one of the best. That is fine because certain subjective attributes will appeal to different customers. Anyone signing on with a website service does have to be sure they are getting the best deal. Good consumer sense definitely refers to taking the steps to look at the many different attributes a hosting plan will offer.
There are, however, quite a number of attributes that any hosting service should possess. If not, the hosting service would not even reach the level of being merely average as opposed to being among the best.
For example, a web hosting service should upgrade as technology evolves and changes. This is because it is critical for a web publisher to take advantage of all the new improvements that have emerged to make the publishing of a website more effective. This is true even among the free websites. Anyone that has looked at the history of free websites will notice that while still somewhat sparse, free websites have evolved technologically with the times. Even more expansive innovations can be found with the development of the paid web hosting sites. Not surprisingly, the paid websites make such things a selling point in their advertising campaigns.
One innovation has been hosting services that can offer Linux and Windows hosting options. Not everyone may seem to think there is much of a big difference between the two. There are differences and, honestly, both have the ability to provide excellent quality service. One benefit to Linux would be it is not susceptible to the common Windows viruses (Windows viruses would not be compatible with the Linux OS) and those interested in a higher level of security might find Linux to be the better option.
For some, the form the hosting takes may define it as the best. Shared and dedicated may be the two most well known. Reseller and VPS would be other hosting services that some might prefer based on a particular business model they have in mind.
To effectively succeed with any plans to publish a website, it is necessary to really know what you want. This way, the likelihood of selecting the best website hosting service becomes possible.

Stay up-to-date with KAKE News:
UPDATE: September, 15, 2013
Two area drive-in movie theaters in need of expensive equipment to stay open came up short in their efforts to win a digital projector from Honda.
But they have another shot.
Honda has announced it will choose four more drive-in theaters to receive a digital projector from the company. They've extended voting to September 21st.
The first five winners were announced over the past five days. The winners were Saco Drive-In (Saco, Maine), Cherry Bowl Drive-In (Honor, Michigan), Graham Drive-In (Graham, Texas), McHenry Outdoor Theater (McHenry, Illinois), and 99W Drive-In (Newberg, Oregon).
El Dorado's Star-Vu Drive-In and Medicine Lodge's Pageant Drive-In are both still in the running now that Honda has announced four more digital projectors will be donated.
You have six days to vote. Each day, you can vote once online at projectdrivein.com and once via text.
Please scroll down to the end of this story for voting information.

Two area drive-in movie theaters are in the running to win a $75,000 digital projector that could allow them to stay open as the transition is made away from 35mm film.
It's part of Honda's Project Drive-In contest, an effort by the car manufacturer to try to save as many drive-ins as possible. The contest is a nationwide vote with the top 5 vote-getting theaters winning a digital projector.
You can vote twice a day, once online and once via text.
The two area theaters that are up for the national digital projector giveaway are the Star-Vu in El Dorado and the Pageant in Medicine Lodge.
Read about both below. There you'll find all the links and telephone numbers you'll need to vote!
Star-Vu Drive-In (El Dorado)
Armed with posters and flyers, Amanda Baker walked door-to-door Thursday, canvassing downtown El Dorado.
Baker campaigned -- not for herself but for her passion: saving the Star-Vu Drive-In.
"It would give everybody a place to go," Baker said. "It would give us our landmark back."
Baker has helped the Star-Vu Drive-In secure a spot on an important ballot.
Honda is hosting a nationwide vote to see which five drive-in theaters across the country will receive a new $75,000 digital projector from the company.
The Star-Vu is one of just three drive-ins in Kansas that are part of the contest. The Pageant Drive-In in Medicine Lodge is the other area participant. The third is the Mid-Way Drive-In in Osawatomie.
The voting began August 9th and continues through September 9th. People can vote twice a day. One vote per day can be cast online and the other vote can be cast via text message.
"It's pretty incredible to think that a company like Honda would be doing something like that," El Dorado's Corey Landreth said.
It's part of Honda's campaign to save as many drive-ins as possible. Many of the nation's drive-ins are in danger of closing this year. That's because 35mm film distribution is over and it's too costly for many theaters to switch to digital projection.
The Star-Vu is one of those theaters that is in danger.
"If we don't get go digital, we won't be open next year," Baker said.
Being selected for Honda's "Project Drive-In" contest couldn't have come at a better time.
Baker formed a committee earlier this year to raise money to save the Star-Vu. But their fundraising efforts have been slow-going. To date, they've raised only $2,000 toward the $90,000 needed to keep the Star-Vu open.
"(Winning) would cut our fundraising by three-quarters," Baker said.
Baker said she first heard about the opportunity when she received a message on the Star-Vu's Facebook page.
"They just said, 'If you are in trouble, just contact us.' I sent in all of our information," Baker said.
Soon, she received posters, flyers, buttons, and other materials to help get the word out and encourage people to vote.
"This is our last ditch opportunity to keep our beloved Star-Vu Drive-In open and operating," Baker said.
So, she says, this is much more important than winning a campaign, it's may be their last chance at winning a future.
"It would mean the world to El Dorado and the surrounding communities," Baker said.
Pageant Drive-In (Medicine Lodge)
One more weekend under the stars.
One more weekend of movies for the season.
But after 19 consecutive years in operation and 61 years total of history, the Pageant Drive-In in Medicine Lodge could be showing its final movies ever this weekend.
That's because this small-town drive-in theater just doesn't have the money for the expensive digital projector it needs to survive past the death of film.
"It's not looking too good," owner Mike Sill said. "(Without it) we would probably have to close the gates up and not get to show any more movies."
But in Medicine Lodge, it's not just about saving the theater, it's about saving the town.
"We're just a small community trying to survive," Sill said.
Sill and other community members helped get the Pageant Drive-In in position for a shot to win a new digital projector.
Honda is hosting a nationwide vote to see which five drive-in theaters across the country will receive a new $75,000 digital projector from the company.
"It would let us keep entertainment going for our community and the surrounding area," Sill said. "We're the only drive-in in that part of the state."
The voting began August 9th and continues through September 9th. People can vote twice a day. One vote per day can be cast online and the other vote can be cast via text message.
Sill says the community has rallied around the cause.
"They've really gotten behind it," Sill said. "A lot are voting and then they are commenting on Facebook that they voted."
The drive-in first opened in 1952. Mike Sill's parents bought the theater in 1968. The theater remained open until the late 1980's, when thousands of drive-ins went dark. For seven years, the Pageant sat closed until Mike and his wife Amy revived it in 1995.
With that much history, Sill wants to make sure it has an equally long future.
"It's a good place for people to go out and meet and good family entertainment," Sill said.
Voting Information:

Life as an NBA coach can be crazy at times. One minute you're Mike Brown, coach of the greatest team in NBA history and the next minute you're on the unemployment line. One day you're Avery Johnson, Coach of the Month and the next day you're left to contemplate what went wrong. For coaches who have experienced past success like Brown and Johnson, is their firing an indictment of their lack of coaching prowess? Or is it more realistically a case of unrealistic expectations?
The Lakers with Mike Brown entered this season with lofty expectations and dreams of hanging their 17th championship banner in June. A horrible preseason and a slow start to the regular season led to Brown losing his job. Brown did make some ill-advised moves, including using the Princeton offense, but his firing masked the flaws of this Lakers team. The Lakers are an old team with few athletic players in a league where that matters. The Lakers this offseason decided to add Steve Nash who was an All-Star last season but is 38 years old. Dwight Howard entered this year coming off a serious back injury, and it can be argued how much of an upgrade he is over former center Andrew Bynum. Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol are both in their thirties and have a lot of mileage in their legs from lengthy postseason runs and Olympic basketball. All of these factors do not lead to a team starting off a season 15-0 and winning 70 games. A preseason and five regular season games is not enough time to define what a team's identity will over a 82 game season.
Avery Johnson coached the Nets to an 11-4 record this November and was named the Eastern Conference Coach of the Month. In December, the Nets played to a 3-11 record and Avery Johnson was fired. The Nets are playing their first season in a new arena in a new city with plenty of hype surrounding the team. The team's management believes the team is good enough to contend for a championship and Johnson wasn't the man to get the team to that title. The Nets problems aren't with Johnson's coaching; it's with the team that was put together and unrealistic expectations. Last season the Nets finished the season with a 22-44 record and this year the team's major offseason addition was adding Joe Johnson. Johnson was widely considered to be untradeable due to his massive contract, and while he is an All-Star caliber player he is not a player a franchise can be built around to contend. After a year of speculation over Dwight Howard coming to the Nets, the team re-signed Brook Lopez to a max contract. Let's not forget that this is a player who's never made an All-Star team. The team possesses few relatively gifted defensive players, and All-Star guard Deron Williams has regressed from his play in Utah. The Nets do not have a championship contending roster and to place the blame on Avery Johnson makes no sense.
In the NFL, coach firings during the season are extremely rare. The philosophy is to wait out the entire season before deciding to fire the coach. In the NBA where the season is longer, teams don't always choose to wait out the year before firing the coach. The problem with deciding to fire the coach early in the year is that firing the coach usually takes the place of examining poor roster construction, or a lack of patience by management. In a sport where the season takes place over 82 games, a quick fix is rarely the solution.

Week 12 - Reverse Engineering
1) what we thought was inside
2) what was really inside
3) a combination of both
Some crazy telepathy stuff happened today with Eddie and I! We chose the same object and both decided that there was a little dude inside controlling the cogs… After taking it apart it turned out there wasn't a little dude inside but there were cogs so I guess we were half right!
Thanks Clare for these awesome posters!
P.S. sorry guys but in my classes we do need bibliographies and you may indeed have more text than these posters…or you might have none at all ;)
Posters don't need to necessarily have a lot of text. I don't need bibliographies etc but am looking for creative (or uncreative) approaches to representing and conveying your research through course concepts. Here are a few posters of various origin. You might have more text than this but check out the nice visuals.
Ron Arad, in reverse, 2013
Ron Arad is an Isreali-born, London-based architect, artist, and designer. His recent exhibition, in reverse, explores the form of the fiat 500 by reversing it into the 2-dimensional plane:
'in reverse is an exhibition about the shift from the physical to the digital – except in reverse. rather than manipulate materials to render them functional or render digital models towards a functional object, here I 'reverse' perfectly functional objects and render them useless'.
– Ron Arad, quoted on designboom.com
Claire Healy & Sean Cordeiro, Par Avion, 2011
In this work contemporary Australian artists Claire Healy & Sean Cordeiro deconstruct the form of a Cessna 172 aircraft and airmail its individual parts from Roma to Frey Norris Contemporary & Modern gallery in San Francisco. Commenting on the effects of their 'reverse-engineering' of their aircraft's form, Healy and Cordeiro reflect:
'The wreckage of the plane that no longer has the capability of flying will be given new means of movement. The speed, maneuverability and size were once the distinguishing features of the aircraft but these have now been stripped away, and the object of these qualities arranged as isolated components. The method of delivery may bring some order out of disorder or lay to rest some of the intrinsic purposes of the original airborne machine'.
– Claire Healy & Sean Cordeiro quoted on their website, url below.
Week 12 - Reverse-engineering
This week we will be thinking about reverse-engineering. Reverse-engineering is a design process that involves deconstructing objects in order to learn more about the processes that produced them. What can be made by taking something apart? What can we learn from examining the relationship between an object and its constituent parts? How can a conceptual process deliver a new object from existing parts?
Robert Morris, Box with the Sound of Its Own Making, 1961
Robert Morris' Box with the sound of its own making has been highly influential on conceptual art since it was produced in the early sixties. The work is also interesting to think about in terms of 'reverse-engineering'. While viewing the final object it is impossible not to consider the process that produced it. Morris explains how his work resolves the split between process and object:
'The first object I made when I came to New York was a box with sound, which is a cube about eight inches on a side. I recorded the sound of making this box and put a speaker in it so that it plays for three hours the sounds of its being constructed. And it wasn't conscious with me but I think this was again … I mean this completely split the process and the object. And yet put them both back together again. So in some way I think this was a work that allowed me then to go ahead. I mean really resolved that conflict that had occurred in painting'.

You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"The wedding paper divas did an outstanding job on my save the dates! I created my order with ease, suggested changes the next night which were immediately fixed by the next morning, received timely feedback, and got them in a nicely packaged WPD box! I was so impressed and continue to recommend them to whoever is planning a wedding! They came in so quick, I didn't even have a chance to blink :)"
"Love the postcard save the date! Allowed for 4 of our engagement pictures and the design was amazing. The shipping was also extremely fast. Would recommend to anyone!"
"These save the dates were simply amazing. They were very easy to customize and all of our guest loved them, as did we! The magnet actually sticks to the fridge, unlike some of those cheap-os. The color quality was great as well as the picture quality, there was not graininess from the zoom. They made our wedding planning that much better. 100% satisfaction here!!!"
"We had a white spot in one of our pictures and they made it disappear! We also loved the design of the save the date and they made sure it all looked good before we actually ordered it! Love it!!"
"My clients love these postcard Save the Dates. Customizable to the colors of my clients theme and a fun way to display a collage - thank goodness as there is no way they could choose only 1 photo like some other designs. Personalization is easy and the calendar date gets updated appropriately within the proofing stage. I do wish the calendar would update based on the original date input field..."

Carbyne: a Form of Carbon Even Stronger Than Graphene
Soulskill posted about a year ago | from the does-graphene-even-lift? dept.82
New submitter Dialecticus writes "Sebastian Anthony at ExtremeTech has written an article about research into the physical properties of carbyne, an elusive form of carbon. A new mathematical analysis by Mingjie Liu and others at Rice University suggests that carbyne may achieve double the strength of graphene, stealing its crown and becoming the strongest material known to man. 'While carbyne cannot be stretched, it can be bent into an arc or circle — and by doing so, the additional strain between the carbon atoms alters the electrical bandgap. This property could lead to some interesting uses in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). By adding different molecules to the end of a carbyne chain, such as a methylene (CH2) group, carbyne can also be twisted — much like a strand of DNA — again adding strain and modifying the electrical bandgap. By "decorating" carbyne chains with different molecules, other properties can be added, too: Tack some calcium atoms on the end, which like to mop up spare hydrogen molecules, and suddenly you have a high-density, reversible hydrogen storage sponge. It's also important to note that, just like graphene, carbyne is just one atom thick. This means that, for a given mass of carbyne, its surface area is relatively massive. A single gram of graphene, for example, has a surface area of about five tennis courts. This could be very important in areas such as energy storage (batteries, supercapacitors), where the surface area of the electrode is directly proportional to the energy density of the device.'"

On a 48-44 vote, the U.S. Senate confirmed Alison Nathan's nomination to serve as a federal judge on the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.
Nathan, an out lesbian, will be the second out lesbian federal judge with lifetime tenure in the country, joining U.S. District Court Judge Deborah Batts on the bench of the Southern District of New York. White House spokesman Shin Inouye praised the Senate action, writing, "The President welcomes the confirmation of Alison Nathan. She will serve the American people well from the District Court bench."
Five members of the Democratic caucus did not vote for Nathan's nomination, and no Republicans voted for it. Less than three months ago, U.S. District Court Judge J. Paul Oeken, was confirmed with the support of 28 Republicans. Oetken also sits on the Southern District of New York bench and currently is the only out gay male judge serving in one of the lifetime tenure positions in the federal judiciary.
Baby steps toward progress.

Secrets, Lies and Democracy (Real Story)by Noam Chomsky
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
These interviews, conducted in 1993 and 1994, touch on a range of domestic and international topics from corporate welfare and free trade to gun control and religious fundamentalism
About the Author
Noam Chomsky was born in Philadelphia in 1928. Since 1955, he's taught at the Massachusetts Institue of Technology, where he became a full professor at the age of 32. A major figure in twentieth century linguistics, he's also written many books on contemporary issues.
Chomsky's political talks have been heard, typically by standing-room only audiences, all over the country and the globe, and he's received countless honors and awards. In a saner world, his tireless efforts to promote justice would have long since won him the Nobel Peace Prize.

Produced by Knickerbocker and conceived and designed by Doug James and Laura Meisner, these "Mod British Birds" represented 60s
fashion in a very expressive way.
"Daisy" and "Willow" are the daughters of the owners of "Somers and Field", a fine department store in London. The dolls and outfits were introduced in 1999 and produced for only two years.
The dolls retailed for $89.99 and outfits were $59 to $90.00. Both the dolls and costumes were beautifully done.
The dolls and fashions were based on people, clothing and events from the 60s.
Model and underground film star Edie Sedgwick, shown in one of the pictures here modeling a Betsy Johnson design, contributed in her own way to the 60s folklore behind the Somers and Field line. "Betsy loved to dress Edie in silver",
I recently read in a book on Edie. Here you have "Willow" dressed in a silver "go go" outfit ready to go to the "factory" to dance and gossip with her friend Andy Warhol.
She comes with a change of clothing-a fabulous outfit called "National Gallery". The "gold ocher" colored dress is accented with navy, with wonderful navy accessories. The fabric of the dress is rich, and the navy tights, heels, gloves and hat are to die for!
All the outfits are made with the same quality and attention to detail as the first original Barbie outfits were. There is even an "art program" included, plus gold earrings. What a terrific collectable for the "fashion doll" aficionado!
