This story was updated at 10 a.m., Monday, Nov. 11, 2013.
A Gaithersburg voice coach accused of sexually abusing one of his students years ago was convicted by a jury Thursday of one count of child sex abuse.
At Timothy Ballard's sentencing on Dec. 5, he could receive up to 25 years in prison.
"It's disappointing," said Michael McAuliffe, Ballard's attorney, in an interview after the verdict was announced.
"On this one, I was surprised," he said.
Ballard, he said, had been "pretty shook up" by the verdict.
According to police, Ballard, 48, of Goodport Lane, molested and violated one of his students when the boy was in the eighth grade.
Authorities learned of the abuse after the victim, who had been at a camp with some of Ballard's other students, told them and a parent of Ballard's actions.
The Gazette is not naming the accuser because he was the victim of sexual abuse.
The case was the subject of an earlier trial this year, which ended in a mistrial.
In the first trial, jurors learned that Ballard had a close relationship with his accuser and the boy's family, and that the boy would sometimes sleep at his house after Friday voice sessions and then have class on Saturday mornings.
Ballard's defense attorney, Michael McAuliffe, had argued that the case was baseless, brought on by an embarrassed and embittered ex-student.
Ballard and the boy had quarreled, McAuliffe said, because Ballard wanted the boy to pursue vocal studies in college instead of dance.
Jurors also learned that Ballard had yelled at the victim on two separate occasions — once, for teasing another student, and a second time, after the teacher learned that the student had engaged in inappropriate sexual behavior with another boy backstage at a performance Ballard's students were staging.
According to Ballard's accuser, he and Ballard had known each other for years before the abuse took place, and that the two had cultivated a close relationship.
The teen said he had started taking semi-private vocal lessons with Ballard in 2007, when he was 10 or 11 years old.
The victim confided to Ballard that he was unsure whether he was bisexual, according to Ballard's charging documents, and Ballard told the victim that he could help him "figure out who he was."
In the trial, the boy said the abuse had taken place in Ballard's basement studio and in his bathroom, and that Ballard had performed sex acts on him and then tried to place the boy's hand on his genitals and get him to reciprocate but the boy declined.
In that testimony, he told lawyers that Ballard had been sitting "normally," which McAuliffe had argued as part of his defense that the boy's testimony would have been virtually impossible to carry out because Ballard was so obese that his genitals would have been covered by fat.
In the second trial, the victim explained that by sitting normally, he meant that Ballard had been "lounging" on a sofa.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Ninewest53 Perfect !! The color, size and fit are perfect. It is very difficult to find a 'chocolate' brown good looking shoe. I love it!! August 11, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by WorkingMamaof3 All-around perfect pump I have this shoe in four different colors, and this is the third time I am purchasing the nude. My forefoot is pretty wide, so I've literally worn out the sides of the two previous pairs, which is the only con regarding quality, but truly, it could just be my wide foot. These shoes are very comfortable, and I have no problem spending 8-10 hours in them during a work day. I highly recommend this product. June 4, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Cara Comfy and Chic This is my second time buying these heels, I wore the first pair out. I can stand in these for hours, and the platform makes my legs look great! These are the most comfy heels I have ever owned. I should probably just stock up in case this style is ever discontinued...... May 7, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Fundesign2 LOVE my NEW Shoes!! This is a very practical shoe that you COULD get everyday use out of, I ordered them in Camel. My NEW favorite pair of shoes! Now if I can just figure out how to keep my feet from sliding to the absolute front of the shoe, I'd be fine. (happens with all my shoes, narrow ankles) April 29, 2015

Gallery: Air Force Jet Takes Off with Sustainable Fuel Source
A huge milestone was recently reached at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida when an A-10C Thunderbolt jet took to the air running its engine on plant based fuel. The Air Force is the largest consumer of petroleum in the Department of Defense — they guzzle 2.4 billion gallons per year — and is hoping to wean themselves off foreign oil in the coming years. This flight was the first step in proving to their critics that measures can and will be taken to clean up the energy that fuels their aircraft.
Hydrotreated Renewable jet fuel made from the camelina plant was used during the flight. The camelina plant is weed-like, needs little resources to grow and isn't a food source, making it a great option for biofuel. Fuel certification officials for the Air Force flew in from Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio to observe the flight. When he had finished his quick jaunt in the green aircraft the test pilot — Maj. Chris Seager — approached the officials and noted, "felt great, no problems whatsoever."
Terry Yonkers, assistant secretary of the Air Force for installations, environment and logistics noted that the Air Force's goal, "is to reduce demand, increase supply and change the culture and mindset of our fuel consumption." Air Force officials have announced that they'd like to have half of their total fleet running on alternative fuels by 2016 and make sure that all of their aircraft have been certified to operate on those fuels by 2012. The next test flights will take place later this year and will focus on huge oil eaters like the F-15 Eagle, A C-17 Globemaster III and the F-22 Raptor.

To Troy,
You are right, the Air Force probably doesn't care about hugging trees. But if an organization like this, with no mandate to protect the environment, can go fossil-fuel free, in a strange way that gives me more hope than a hand-full of do-gooders riding their bikes to work with the intention of saving the planet (by the way, I'm a do-gooder who rides a bike to work).
Think of this as a laboratory for all of society. If the most energy intensive endeavors, like fuelling an air-force, can be done through renewable sources, then the kinks in the system will be worked out and released to the public in an optimised form.
We fight bitter wars over fossil oil right now. When our tanks and fighter-jets are powered by dandilions, maybe it will demonstrate that the fight is now moot.
The only down-side I can see to this is that there is no mention of how much energy is used in growing, harvesting and refining the camelina oil. If you need 1.5 gallons of fossil oil to produce 1.0 gallons of camelina oil, then we will still be fighting wars for oil, vegetable or otherwise.
April 1, 2010 at 7:26 am
The plant used may not be a food source, but surely it takes up land that could be used to grow crops? Okay, so as a "weed" it can be grown on poor quality soil, but if you want to create enough of this stuff, you'll eventually use arable land.
March 31, 2010 at 7:48 pm
I'd like to think this is about environmental concerns, but being able to power military components without the need for foreign resources was probably sold more to the brass by concerns about being able to fight if someone cut off our oil supply rather than giving two chits about the trees and those who hug them.
And on another very loosely related note… never noticed how much the A-10 resembles a mechanical Mickey Mouse from the forward view before.

Belmont's second-half rally leads to 68-58 win over ETSU
Requires Adobe Flash
Friday, February 18, 2011
NASHVILLE (Feb. 17, 2011)
- In a game that mirrored the matchup earlier this season, the ETSU men's basketball team found itself in a tie contest with just over six minutes left, but ultimately fell 68-58 to the Belmont Bruins in Atlantic Sun Conference basketball action Thursday evening inside the Curb Event Center.
Back on Jan. 23, the Bucs were also tied with five minutes left but lost at home to the Bruins, 72-62. With the loss, ETSU dropped to 19-10 overall, 14-4 in A-Sun play. Meanwhile, Belmont improved to 24-4 overall, 16-1 in league play, and the Bruins wrapped up the A-Sun regular season title as well as the No. 1 seed in the league tournament.
"This was a tough loss, but we have to move on to the next one," said ETSU head coach
Murry Bartow
, whose team has won 15 of its last 18 games. "We played a good first half, but struggled in the second half. What's important now is that we need to regroup, do the best coaching job we can, and get ready for a very difficult game Saturday at Lipscomb."
In a game that featured the conference's top two defensive teams, the Bucs shot just 37 percent from the floor while Belmont also struggled to a 35.7 percent clip. However, the key to the game was ultimately at the foul line and on the boards, where the Bruins were 26-of-30 (87 percent) and the Bucs were just 19-of-29. In the paint, Belmont held a 44-28 edge.
Despite the loss, the game did not begin this way.
ETSU enjoyed a strong start to the game, pulling ahead by as many as nine points at 23-14 with 8:22 left before the break. Belmont battled back to cut the lead to four at one point, but after holding it for an apparent last shot before the break, the Bruins turned the ball over and senior guard
Mike Smith
(Vandalia, Mo.) was fouled on the other end with .9 seconds left.
Smith was shooting a 3-pointer on the play and went on to hit two of three at the charity stripe, making it 31-24 at the break. It was only the third time this season that the Bruins have trailed at halftime, and it was nearly their lowest point total of a first half this season (23 against Tennessee on Dec. 23).
After the break, Belmont used a methodical 13-2 run to take the lead 40-38. During that stretch, the Bucs went five minutes without a score. ETSU finally answered to tie the game at 40 on a pair of free throws from senior guard
Justin Tubbs
(Trussville, Ala.).
From there, it didn't get any better for the Bucs, as Belmont continued to ramp up the defensive pressure and ultimately built a lead of 61-51 with three minutes left in the game. ETSU cut back into the edge to make it 62-56 with 2:08 remaining, but from there the Bruins were a perfect 6-of-6 from the line to seal the win. In the second half, Belmont outscored the Bucs 44-27.
For the game, ETSU got a 14 points apiece from Smith, Tubbs and junior forward
Isiah Brown
(Miami), while Belmont was led by Ian Clark's game-high 18 points and an additional 10 points from Scott Saunders.
The Bucs, who still hold a two-and-a-half game lead on Jacksonville for second place in the league standings, now move on to a Saturday matchup with Lipscomb. Game time is 7:30 p.m. (EST). For more on ETSU basketball, visit ETSUBucs.com and click on the men's hoops link.

Test ID: CBBRP
Coxiella burnetii (Q fever), Molecular Detection, PCR, Blood
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Diagnosing Coxiella burnetii infection (eg, Q fever)
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Coxiella burnetii, the causative agent of Q fever, is a small obligate intracellular bacterium, which is distributed ubiquitously in the environment. The agent is acquired through aerosol exposure and generally causes mild respiratory disease. A small number of these acute cases will advance to a chronic condition, which typically manifests as endocarditis. If left untreated, cases of Q fever endocarditis are fatal.
Current diagnostic methods of Q fever endocarditis include serologic studies and histopathologic examination of excised cardiac tissue. These current methods are subjective and nonspecific, limiting usefulness in patient diagnostics.
Evaluation of infected tissue, blood, or serum using PCR has been shown to be an effective tool for diagnosing Coxiella burnetii infection. Mayo Medical Laboratories has developed a real-time PCR test that permits rapid identification of Coxiella burnetii.
The assay targets a unique sequence of the shikimate dehydrogenase gene (aroE) present in Coxiella burnetii.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
Not applicable
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
A positive test is diagnostic of Coxiella burnetii disease.
A negative result does not negate the presence of the organism or active disease, as false-negative results may occur due to inhibition of PCR, sequence variability underlying the primers and/or probes, or the presence of Coxiella burnetii in quantities less than the limit of detection of the assay.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Test results should be used as an aid in diagnosis and not be considered diagnostic in themselves. The single assay should not be used as the only criteria to form a clinical conclusion, but results should be correlated with patient symptoms and clinical presentation. A negative result does not negate the presence of the organism or active disease.
Supportive Data
This assay was clinically validated in a blinded manner using 52 archived, formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded heart valve specimens from patients with endocarditis. A single sample within this set determined to contain PCR inhibitors was omitted from the final analysis set. Compared with existing diagnostic data, PCR had a sensitivity of 100% (8/8) and specificity of 100% (43/43). All samples were assayed with a second PCR assay targeting the IS1111 element.(6) Complete concordance was noted between the 2 assays (P >0.999). The limit of detection (LoD) of the assay is 2.16 targets/mcL for EDTA whole blood.

I believe that a new paradigm in design is a necessary shift in the way we relate to the issues of the world. Design is a fundamental aspect of the human condition however, our current design paradigm has left us the destruction of the faults imbedded in the way we relate the world around. An integrated, wholistic approach to design, whether that be grand instances such as cities or smaller projects such as homes, our ability as a species to shift our design palate in a direction that maintains a sustaiable template offers great hope for the future. Thank you designers, architects, city planners, and all other people trying to shape the new design paradigm.

Maya Creek – Education in Sustainability is a demonstration and education site near Fulton, MO. Maya Creek has three residents that live onsite. There are other volunteers and visitors that help with the various projects. They follow the Permaculture design principals which include organic gardening, building with local natural building materials, and creating a communal culture that thrives with few external inputs and dependencies.
The 310 acre site is evolving into a living community, working harmoniously with nature. Visitors may come for a short stay, or just a brief tour. Learning as they go, is somewhat of a motto at Maya Creek. The residents do not consider themselves experts in this context and are continually learning as they move forward toward creating their community and keeping close to nature. Maya Creek can be best learned about by searching their web address via one of the popular search engines or typing maya creek in the search box on Facebook.
I've enjoyed learning about Maya Creek and the work they have done. Straw bail natural floor housing, utilizing solar energy to generate electricity and heat water, collecting rainwater into a cistern for drinking water, utilizing excrement and sawdust to create compost fertilizer, seeing an opportunity to use reflective sunlight to boost the output of their solar panels. These folks are working hard to go beyond just saving energy and reducing waste, their are creating a lifestyle that makes the most drastic reduction in their footprint.

One of the gems of Shaker Heights, OH, is the Nature Center at Shaker Lakes. All my kids have taken classes there and enjoy the boardwalk and all season trails through the woods. It's also an important bird area according to the Audubon Society. The Green Building Renovation in 2002-2003 recycled some of the old trees into furniture. The Stewardship Center has a shelter, a covered porch, rain barrel and native plantings. It's an exhibit of natural construction and green building practices. I remember seeing bales of straw used in the making of the walls of the porch.

The Buffalo (NY) waterfront has been transforming into an exciting mixed use district and recreational asset. The Commercial Slip and Inner Harbor are destinations on the water, and the Outer Harbor Parkway is nearly complete. Designers include Flynn Battaglia, Mathews Nielsen, and Trowbridge Wolf Michaels Landscape Architects.

One has to be careful to not get carried away by the exclusive green campaign. For instance, a study done by Environmental Energy Technologies Division at Lawrence Berkley lab showed that the cost of energy is 20 $ per sq. meter per year, the cost of an employee is 2000 $ per sq. meter per year. Which shows that just a slight improvement in the working environment is much more profitable than improvement of ecology standards. When our architecture will come from low-energy ouse to zero-energy with the use of bioclimatic concepts of design, that's when we can stop thinking of profit and start thinking green.

After the Christchurch earthquake, Gap Filler was set up by Coralie Winn and others http://www.gapfiller.org.nz to find empty, unused sites around Christchurch and particularly the CBD and activate them to bring hope, entertainment and the community back together. Some projects have included a bowling alley, a cycle powered cinema and small buildings for businesses that have had to relocate. This organisation has the support of the community with public volunteers, and even schools and community groups helping out. They are funded by donations only. They are a great asset to Christchurch and its future!

It is currently being built here in Seattle:
An office building that lasts 250 years with no monthly electricity or water bills. Soon it will be a reality, say the builders of what they hope will be the biggest office tower in the nation that produces as much water and electricity as it consumes.
Currently rising from a pit in downtown Seattle, the $30 million, six-story "living building" is being spearheaded by Denis Hayes and Jason McLennan, who believe they can save the world one building at a time by reducing the massive energy appetites of modern cities.

Project has to be The Hive, in Worcester, UK.
It is the first fully integrated Public and University Library in Europe, and situated in landscaped surroundings a stone's throw from the University's new city campus. The centre adds a stunning new chapter to the story of the city which gave us the world's oldest newspaper, Edward Elgar and Royal Worcester.
And there is something for everyone…
The key facts
The project is a partnership initiative between University of Worcester and Worcestershire County Council which will bring a range of services under one roof:
• A fully integrated public and University library
• Worcestershire Record Office
• Worcestershire Historic Environment and Archaeology Service
• Worcestershire Hub Customer Service Centre
• Café and refreshment outlets
• Meeting rooms
• Exhibition and drama spaces
Winning an international award – the Bentley Be Inspired Innovation in Generative Design – in October 2009 was a great achievement, and the project was also shortlisted for Best Designed Project and Best Local Government Project Team at the national Public-Private Finance awards in April 2010.
Construction techniques to minimize impacts on the environment:
-Existing buildings demolished and the resultant materials crushed and re-used for the piling mat~
-Piled foundations "bored" as opposed to being "driven" into the ground to reduce the impact on the archaeological features buried beneath the building.
-Recycled aggregate and GGBFS cement replacement used in the concrete frame to reduce embodied energy.
-Post tensioned concrete slabs used to reduce the amount of concrete and particularly the steel reinforcement required.
-The roof is built almost entirely of prefabricated timber panels, reducing on site wastage and site energy consumption.
-Over 75% of waste creating during the construction phase has been recycled.
-A proprietary system was adopted which filtered out the cement based sediments from water used on site. CO2 was used to neutralised the filtered water before its disposal.

One project that I can think of in my city of Houston, Texas is the new BBVA Compass Stadium for the Houston Dynamo soccer team. They had been playing in the University of Houston's football stadium, so they didn't really have a "home" until now. The stadium is good because it focuses the passion of Dynamo fans into a home, plus the stadium will also be used by the football team at Texas Southern University. It's a multi-use stadium that was designed beautifully. I believe it's the first stadium in the US to achieve LEED Platinum status, and the way that it is designed was to maximize the spectator experience while still feeling like an intimate arena. The outside is steel mesh, which allows air to circulate throughout the stadium – which is great, because summers in Houston are very hot! It is also located in the East End of Houston, which is not an economically vibrant place in Houston. The stadium and the soccer players do a lot to give back to the local community and to be involved. The stadium was designed by Populous, the same firm that designed the new Yankee Stadium in New York. It is a gorgeous stadium and a symbol of love and passion for one of our hometown teams!

I live in Boise, Idaho, and the Boise River is central to our community as it runs through the city, and provides just about the only water recreation in the area, with the exception of a small lake by the dam. Parts of it are in bad shape. Here is one project for reclamation: "McLaughlin Whitewater has worked with the City of Boise to design a whitewater park that promotes both land-based recreation and whitewater boating." "An old concrete plant, slaughter house and dumping grounds left the area dirty, polluted and unsafe. This project will protect the existing banks from erosion, restore riparian areas, and improve fish and wildlife habitat while providing the community with a natural place to gather."

I live in Turin, that was known as the "grey" capital of italian car industry. When this part of the city's economy failed, Turin has a lot of giant industrial plant that leave a very "heavy" heritage: the city needed a strong rehab. So it was decided to turn these pollutant giants into the most sustainable part of the city. The main project was the upgrade of the Michelin an Vitali's steel plant. They are considered like "industrial archeology" so the main project maintains part of iron structure and re-use some of the waste that came from the demolition. Now they became a huge park and an environmental museum.
sorry for my very bad english! but is so hard to describe this wonderful (and complex) project!

The terrestrial mud volcanoes of the Riserva Naturale regionale delle Salse di Nirano are situated in the Northern Apennines (Italy) and were formed by the expulsion of mud, water, liquid hydrocarbons and gases, predominantly methane. The reserve has welcomed over 70,000 visitors over the last 12 months.
Project Open Sites
The objectives of this project were to make the area accessible to the disabled (visually impaired, people with mobility problems …), to create a barrier-free route with panels and photographic images in Braille, to reduce the human impact of area by channelling visitors along specifically designed paths to protect Puccinellia Borreri (a rare species of grass) and Cheilanthes marantae (a rare fern) and to make the entire area accessible even in wet conditions.
The design criteria was inspired by green concepts and environmental sustainability, using techniques and materials from "Architettura Bioecologica" (bio-ecological architecture) and "Ingegneria Naturalistica" (natural engineering). The choice of materials, in this case wood and steel wire, would have to be compatible with and appropriate to the landscape and environment. The contours of the walkway follow the contours of the ground and form an even slope with slots to allow the sunlight to reach the vegetation below and at a height sufficient to allow the natural flow of rainwater and clay silt flowing from the volcano cones. The new walkway is extremely attractive and sympathetic to the landscape.
The architects responsible for the realisation of this project were Maddalena and Bianca Grazie of Studio Arketipo in Modena, Italy

The former US military barracks in Mietraching, Bavaria, Germany is going towards "zero-energy-city" (project name). An interesting project, where old buildings get renovated and turned into eco-friendly homes as well as new buildings get built (wooden multy-storey buildings, they look great!)… I used to work at this base which I know means a lot to so many people (former inhabitants, co-workers, friends for life) worldwide and I am happy that these buildings get used for great purposes like this, for a new better future.

I fortunately became a part of a community development program in the Philippines known as "Gawad Kalinga" way back in college. The program aims to build a sustainable and self-reliant community for poor families. In an instance, i personally helped out in building houses at Pasig city area. The houses were designed to be colorful, uplifting and convenient for the residents to live in. I can say that it made a great impact on residents' way of life as they started to have their own livelihood programs, organizations and became an environmentally healthy community as well due to well planned areas/spaces.

well ive taken classes at SFIA focused on rain water reuse which is really important because of the water it conserves and how it reaches people all over the world that can with a simple set up have access to water! also solar power classes that ive learned the in and outs of solar power and how people can have access to power in the most remote places! also been thinking of a project where we would go and instead of green front lawns that use a ton of water just to keep it green why not have a "lawn" full of herbs and veggies that take the same amount of water to produce. also once i turn 21 i really want to get down with EARTH SHIPS & become part of the earth army! and one day be a designer to help the earth and the people. architecture for the people and the planet!!! look out! really would love this book!!!!!!

Kimi Raikkonen heads to Montreal determined to put Monaco behind him while Romain Grosjean has to overcome a grid penalty...
Kimi Raikkonen heads to Montreal determined to put Monaco behind him while Romain Grosjean has to overcome a grid penalty...
For all the latest F1 odds on the Canadian GP, round seven of the 2013 F1 Championship, visit Sky Bet.
Kimi Raikkonen:
Q: What are your feelings after Monaco?
KR: We had a bad result on Sunday in Monaco; that was clear for anyone to see. It could have been even worse, but it could have been much better as well. We came out with one point so at least we got something back after losing the solid fifth place, but that's not much consolation. The car felt good for qualifying and the race which is a positive as it was another circuit - and a difficult circuit - where we've been able to have the car pretty much as we wanted. We still lack just a little bit of speed in qualifying sometimes, but our race pace was good again; not that you can show that when you're stuck behind slower cars like we saw in Monaco. We don't know how the car will be in Montreal - we will have the answer to that question soon - but there's no reason why we shouldn't be competitive again.
Q: It was quite some fightback you made at the end of the race...
KR: Well, that was a bit different as I had fresh tyres and we should never have been in that position in the first place, but it was good to at least get a point at the end. In a way, it almost makes it more frustrating as when we had the clean air after the pit stop it was probably the first time you saw how quick our car really was.
Q: You were pretty frustrated after the race?
KR: No-one wants to lose so many points thanks to the actions of another driver, but that race is over; Monaco is just a distant memory and I'm all ready for Canada.
Q: What's your opinion of Canada?
KR: I have won there which was pretty good, but I have experienced some setbacks there as well. Many times the race has been quite a lottery as there seem to be different things which affect it. The weather can change a lot, sometimes the tyres or the track aren't working very well, sometimes there are a lot of safety cars, or sometimes another driver runs into the back of you when you're waiting at a red light. As for the place itself, I've always liked Montreal. It is one of the nicest cities we visit all year.
Q: What do you need for a good result in Canada?
KR: A good car. Like at every circuit you need to get the set-up exactly right. You need a well-balanced chassis in the medium downforce configuration and you don't want to be too hard on brakes as there's a lot of aggressive braking there. It's something I quite enjoy, the stop and go style of the circuit.
Q: Is Montreal another circuit where qualifying is crucial?
KR: Qualifying is important at every circuit, but not as essential as it was in Monaco to get a good result. It's not easy to get past, but there are one or two places to overtake.
Q: What are your thoughts on the championship after losing ground to Sebastian Vettel?
KR: For sure we lost ground on the lead in Monaco, but it's not over yet. It's still early in the season and 21 points behind is not too much to catch up; especially if Sebastian has a bad weekend too at some point. The most important thing is that we return to our race level before Monaco to get things going our way as soon as possible.
Romain Grosjean:
Q: It was an eventful weekend for you in Monaco... what are your thoughts now you've been able to reflect?
RG: It was certainly a rollercoaster, and one where we could have achieved a lot more with the pace of the car. No-one wants to make contact with the barriers at Monaco and it's a fine balance between going fast and going too fast; there's such a tiny margin for error as I found out. The positives are that we significantly improved the car again to make it more predictable over the weekend and that helped me a lot. I think we had the pace to be in the top three, but unfortunately we didn't get the qualifying position we wanted and it's almost impossible to move up the order in Monaco. I got caught out behind Daniel [Ricciardo] and will have to suffer quite a harsh penalty of ten places on the Montreal grid, but we'll be working hard to devise the best strategy to work back up the order.
Q: You said you'd buy your crew some drinks for all the work they put in over the Monaco weekend; have you had a chance to do this yet?
RG: Not yet, but I'll treat them to a special dinner later in the year; hopefully when we've got something good to celebrate.
Q: Last year you went from seventh to second in Montreal; can you repeat that kind of performance in 2013?
RG: Yes, last year we had a fantastic result at this race and we'll certainly be trying for a fantastic result once more. For sure it will be a bit more difficult with the penalty, but we'll take the challenge and do the very best we can.
Q: 2012 was your first time racing in Montreal, but you learnt the track pretty well?
RG: The track is interesting; not an easy one to learn, but as we say most of the time if you have a good result then you like the track! I'd certainly like to finish this year's race on the podium again; that would be a good record to maintain. The city's great too. People speak French, the place is lively, there are some great restaurants and everybody is really welcoming.
Q: Have you raced the circuit in any other form?
RG: It's true that it's my favourite circuit on the Xbox, though it's certainly bumpier in real life than sat at home on your sofa!
Q: You like street circuits and were quick in Monaco; can we expect more of the same pace at the Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve?
RG: I enjoy the sensation of being close to the walls; although as I learnt this year in Monaco... I don't enjoy the sensation of being too close to the walls! Montreal is different from Monaco as there are some long straights and big braking moments. The track surface can also present challenges as we've seen in past seasons, so it will be interesting to see what the grip level is like this year. Finally, the weather in Montreal can be quite changeable as we've seen many times. I'm sure it'll be a challenging and exciting Grand Prix.
Q: Does the Canadian event present any particular challenges, being a long haul amidst the European season?
RG: I arrive a little earlier to help beat the jet lag. Sometimes the challenge of beating the jet lag and getting a decent sleep can be as hard to solve as finding the right setup for the car! I'll be getting plenty of exercise and hopefully getting some good sleep at the right time too!
Q: It's been a mixed season for you

Lord, please clear my head of all distractions and my heart of burdens I may bear, so I may perform my very best knowing you'll always be there. Please lift me up before the moment, so through your eyes I may see, and have a clearer understanding, as the game unfolds before me. With great courage I will meet this challenge as you would have me to. But keep me humble and remind me, that my strength comes from knowing you. Then all eyes are upon me, at the end of this game. I will turn their eyes to you O'Lord, and to the glory of you name. Amen

Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta expressed his gratitude to U.S. lawmakers for delaying sequestration and voiced optimism for finding a permanent way to avoid an additional $500 billion in budget cuts.
"On behalf of the Department of Defense, I want to express our thanks to the Democratic and Republican members of Congress who voted to temporarily avert sequestration," Panetta said in a statement issued Jan. 2. "Hopefully, this will allow additional time to develop a balanced deficit reduction plan that would permanently prevent these arbitrary cuts."
Congress passed legislation yesterday delaying the sequestration process by two months. Sequestration, included in the 2011 Budget Control Act, would have automatically cut $500 billion from defense spending over 10 years on top of $487 billion in spending reductions already identified over the same timeframe.
Had Congress not acted, the Defense Department, along with other federal agencies, would have been forced to take dramatic steps which would have "severely impacted" civilian personnel and disrupted DOD's mission, Panetta said.
"For more than a year, I have made clear that sequestration would have a devastating impact on the department," he said. "Over the past few weeks, as we were forced to begin preparing to implement this law, my concerns about its damaging effects have only grown.
"As an example, had Congress failed to act, I would have been required to send out a notice to our 800,000 civilian employees that they could be subject to furlough," Panetta added.
The defense secretary credited Congress with preventing the "worst possible outcome" by delaying sequestration for two months, but noted the threat of sequestration continues.
"Unfortunately, the cloud of sequestration remains," Panetta said. "The responsibility now is to eliminate it as a threat by enacting balanced deficit reduction. Congress cannot continue to just kick the can down the road."
The Defense Department is "doing its part" to help the country address these budget concerns by working to implement $487 billion in spending reductions in accordance with its new defense strategy, Panetta said.
"The specter of sequestration has cast a shadow over our efforts," he said. "We need to have stability in our future budgets. We need to have the resources to effectively execute our strategy, defend the nation, and meet our commitments to troops and their families after more than a decade of war."
The defense secretary lauded the DOD workforce for its service and sacrifice. He said federal government leaders and members of Congress have a "responsibility" to provide the necessary support for them to accomplish their missions.
"Every day, the men and women of this department put their lives on the line to protect us all here at home. Those of us in Washington have no greater responsibility than to give them what they need to succeed and to come home safely," Panetta said.
"My hope is that in the next two months, all of us in the leadership of the nation and the Congress can work together to provide that stability and to prevent sequestration once and for all," he said. "Our national security demands no less."

For many, fall is a time for raking leaves, sitting around the campfire, picking apples and going to corn mazes and pumpkin patches. But don't forget that fall is also the time to get your flu shot. And if you have diabetes, a flu shot is especially important.
This is because if you have diabetes and get influenza, your blood glucoses rise and your recovery time is generally longer. And people with diabetes are about three times more likely to die from the flu and pneumonia than the general population.
If you do develop the flu, despite getting the flu shot, the vaccine will still help you by lowering the risk of more serious respiratory tract involvement and lessening the risk of secondary complications, hospitalization and death.
Contact your doctor, healthcare provider or local health department for dates, times and locations for flu vaccinations. Both flu and pneumococcal vaccination are covered by Medicare part B. Many employers are making flu vaccination available at the workplace, as well.
Remember, flu shots don't contain a live virus, so they can't infect you. Add flu vaccination to your list of routine fall activities.
In addition to the flu shot, to help prevent catching and spreading the flu:
Enjoy fall, and have a healthy season.

Where should the shot be given? 2-3 years ago I had a shot that was very close to the shoulder joint and I've had shoulder problems ever since.
Why Mayo clinic did deleted a challenged comment on this article posted on November 6 I believe. A person named George posted a well informed and warning against flu shots that Mayo promotes. Obviously the comment is gone. That's not fair and right for a clinic with a good reputation.
I know that not all flu shots cover all types of flu, however, I do get a flu shot every year. Still, I was deathly sick all November and again now all of January into February. It wreaks havoc on blood sugar control and everything else. There's no easy answer out there for a diabetic who gets the flu, or any kind of illness. Good luck!
I have type 2 diabetes & I had my flue shots every year for past 6 years... last year I had the worst case of influenza I have ever had, so
bad I will not have any more flue shots ever.
From the research I've done, the flu shot for those over 65 is ineffective. They've come out with a stronger one for seniors, but I'll wait awhile before I try it.

Lord have mercy, I need to draw
I suffer through very long periods, too busy to draw or do much of anything creative anymore. I spend so much time managing business affairs, dealing with people and helping others with their artwork that I've neglected my own.
This is about the only drawing I've been able to do in recent weeks. It's from a month ago, a few doodles I came up with while waiting for the first day of my class at Cal State Northridge to start for this current fall semester.
I look forward to the day when I'll be a full time artist again.
Re: Lord have mercy, I need to draw
I just remembered, I did a couple sketches at The Animation Academy about the same time. This was a demo loosely based on a student's design. The top drawing was my first pass. Then I showed her how to enhance appeal by getting rid of parallels and by working large areas against smaller ones.
Re: Lord have mercy, I need to draw
Same here. I realized it while taking a 3D modeling class in college. I spent about 3 weeks lost in sculpting a character digitally and subsequently went into an intense withdrawal period for about 3 days where I drew and painted non-stop everywhere, late into the night. I didn't actually make much good work, but I just needed the feeling of using my hands on physical materials. Then again, come to think of it, that's where the koalas originally came from!
Like we always say at AN, "The art is what keeps us young."
Stay young, Charles! Keep drawing!
Re: Lord have mercy, I need to draw
Your timing is uncanny David, and your advice well taken. I was just getting ready to post this when you left your comment.
It's a quick sketch I did at CSUN last night on a Cintiq to demonstrate the relationship between color and gray tones. Nothing fancy but it's better than not drawing at all. I'm determined to change this pattern and get back to my own art. Thanks for the encouraging words.
Re: Lord have mercy, I need to draw
Your art rejuvenates you, Charles, and it rejuvenates me. As artists, I can't believe that this work doesn't have this particular effect on any artist who see it.
You're a living legend, Charles, no matter what anyone says. Excited to see some original sketches from you again. Hoping they evolve into something greater.
Re: Lord have mercy, I need to draw
Things are improving a little. I'm finding a bit more time to create but still in a classroom setting. Drawing for demonstrations is better than no drawing at all.
This is something I did recently at the Academy for students in Character Design I which is our foundation class. A head turn demo in Col-erase blue pencil. This was done as a straight ahead line up from left to right on a single sheet of paper, not on an animation disk.
Clicking on the image will give you a better view.
Re: Lord have mercy, I need to draw
With the encouragement of a good friend and my students, I'm getting around to doing more artwork. I've got a ways to go to connect with things again, but a step at a time will get me back in the groove eventually.
Here's a class demonstration I came up with at Cal State Northridge last Monday. The image on the left is the initial sketch, the one on the right is the clean up. The demonstration was about line clean ups. When I give a drawing a final line, I like to do it first in blue pencil, then follow up with graphite. You might be able to see the darker graphite line towards the left side of the image in the clean drawing. The rest remains in blue. Click on the image for a better view.
Re: Lord have mercy, I need to draw
Last night in class at Cal State Northridge I had some momentum building. My students there are great and they give me the time to relax and do some drawing for them. I drew these 3 doodles from left to right, as a lesson in free form sketching, each one on a sheet of 12 field animation paper with a blue ball point pen, the ink tended to glob at the tip which made it feel like a brush at times.
Re: Lord have mercy, I need to draw
It's great to be getting back into a drawing routine. Tonight in my studio I made time to have some fun sketching. Thought I'd give myself an assignment similar to what I'd give my students in Character Design II at the Academy.
I looked to develop a concept involving designing characters based upon the proportions of the human body, two characters in a composition, one male, the other female, interacting in order to create a narrative.
So I chose as my concept "Nike (Victory) Proceeding From Athena".
I started with this for the central figure of Athena.
A decent start, but I thought I'd rework the character and the pose a little more into this...
Then I drew my idea of Nike, not as a female in form, but as a male athlete consistent with Athena's olympic torso.
Then I reduced Nike in size and placed the figure within the composition. Thank you Photoshop.
Good to be drawing again, I'd like to keep it up.
Re: Lord have mercy, I need to draw
I started with this, a line sketch which I featured earlier in the thread...
Then I decided to practice some of my basic skills, so I went to Photoshop with the intention of rendering the image in tone keyed off of the color of the line. I thought to do it in a series of tints, and stopping to save the image every 10 layers.
Here's where it was at 10 levels of tint.
This is after 20 layers of tint.
And after 30 layers, with an additional layer for the eye highlights.
Re: Lord have mercy, I need to draw
After I finished tinting the image in transparent layers, I did the same thing in color by tinting over the blue through several layers. I also copied the line work to a top level and turned it black in color, then blackened in the background.
After struggling to regain some sort of creative momentum, I feel that I'm building it back up again. Thanks to the encouragement of a few friends and also to my students, especially my class at Cal State Northridge.
Thanks very much for stopping by to check out this topic. I'll be doing more in other threads on the Gallery.
As always, Keep Creating!

EPA proposes labeling changes for minimum risk pesticides
2:37 PM MST | January 2, 2013 | Kara Sissell
US EPA has proposed a rule that would revise labeling requirements for certain active and inert ingredients in minimum risk pesticides. The proposal applies to products that EPA may exempt from requirements under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). However, EPA says it is important to note the agency is only providing clarity concerning the ingredients that are currently used in exempted products and is not proposing to add or remove ingredients from the list. EPA's proposal would reorganize the lists of eligible active and...

The worm exploits a known security vulnerability in early releases of the phpBB application, defacing the contents of the bulletin board.
