- Regulation of Fuels and Fuel Additives: Revised Definition of Substantially Similar Rule for Alaska (published April 25, 2008)
Discussions with an Alaskan refiner highlighted the need for an amendment to the substantially similar provision of Section 211(f) of the Clean Air Act for unleaded gasoline to improve cold starting of vehicles in Alaska during the winter months. Previously, manufacturers of gasoline for Alaska could not use a temperature below 41 degrees Celsius when testing the vapor-liquid (V/L) ratio of the fuel and still be within the definition of "substantially similar." This amendment allows manufacturers producing unleaded gasoline for use only in Alaska during the winter months to use a minimum test temperature of 35 degrees Celsius when testing for a maximum V/L ratio of 20 instead of requiring a V/L test temperature of 41 degrees Celsius.

He's the "Hottest MC in the Game" (11/21/14)
Is there a hotter artist in music right now than Kendrick Lamar? Not according to MTV, which in early 2013 crowned Lamar the No. 1 "Hottest MC in the Game." How prophetic.
Lamar went on to open 2014 with a total of seven Grammy nominations at the 56th Annual Grammy Awards, including Best New Artist, Album of the Year and Best Rap Song. Though he didn't take home any of those trophies, he collected some hardware at the 2014 BET Hip Hop Awards and also earned a nomination for Best Male Hip Hop Artist at the 2014 BET Awards.
Lamar has been hard at work on a new album he hoped to have out by September. He's been hyping the record since the end of February, when he told Billboard magazine there was also the possibility of a debut effort from the Black Hippy collective. And while working on both of those projects, Lamart also managed to premiere his short film "m.A.A.d" at Sundance's inaugural NEXT Fest in Los Angeles on August 9.
On September 23, Lamar released a song titled "i," as the first single from his upcoming album. Then, on November 15, he once again appeared on NBC's famed "Saturday Night Live" as the musical guest, where he performed "i," as well as "Pay For It" alongside Jay Rock. Lamar performed on the show with blackout contacts and his braids partly out, paying homage to the 20th anniversary of the debut album of New York-based rapper Method Man.
About Kendrick Lamar - From Mixtapes to Master of his Craft (Updated November 28, 2012)
Like other rap and hip-hop artists who had come before him, Kendrick Lamar didn't turn heads with a media blitz or a reality show appearance. Instead, the youngster from California gained a following thanks to a series of mixtapes and a self-titled EP, not to mention the backing of some very powerful artists.
Lamar, who cites Tupac Shakur as his biggest influence, began recording mixtapes when he was just a teen. He released his first compilation in 2003 at the age of 16, and five years later made a cameo appearance in the music video for Jay Rock's debut single, "All My Life (In the Ghetto)." Still performing as "K-Dot," he dropped the stage name in 2009 to release the self-titled "Kendrick Lamar EP" in late 2009.
With a strong following and an upward career trajectory, Lamar toured with Jay Rock and Tech N9ne on "The Independent Grind" tour in 2010. That September, he also released "Overly Dedicated," a mixtape which garnered the attention of Dr. Dre and led to Lamar working with the legendary hip hop producer and Snoop Dog on Dre's "Detox" album.
In March 2012, Lamar entered into a joint venture deal with Top Dawg Entertainment, Interscope Records and Aftermath Entertainment. He premiered his commercial debut single, "The Recipe," the following month, and his first official album, "Good Kid, M.A.A.D City," bowed on October 22. It debuted at No. 2 on the US Billboard 200 and earned the highest first-week hop hop album sales of 2012 for a male artist.

text: Problem with JSTOR in Firefox 23+ [RESOLVED] EDIT 2013-09-30: JSTOR appears to have changed how PDF files are handled in Firefox to resolve the display problem described below. While other browsers, such as Chrome or Internet Explorer, still allow you to preview the PDF in the browser, preview mode in Firefox has been disabled and you will be prompted to download the file instead. A problem was reported to the Library and to campus IT in how Firefox downloads and displays PDF-formatted articles from JSTOR.org. Most computers on campus are now installed with Firefox 23. This version of Firefox, by default, is set to "Preview in Firefox" for all PDF files. For most journals and databases, the PDF preview functionality in Firefox has not caused any problems. However, there's something different in how JSTOR PDFs are formatted that disrupts the preview mode in Firefox, causing them to hang before the download and display is complete. To get around this problem, you can simply use a different browser with JSTOR.org articles; both Internet Explorer and Google Chrome download JSTOR PDFs without issue. If you prefer to use Firefox, you can force the PDF to download from the preview window by right-clicking the PDF image and selecting "Save Page As..." from the contextual menu. Alternatively in Firefox, instead of clicking the "Article PDF" link (left mouse click), right click the link and select "Save Link As..." from the contextual menu. Because the Firefox PDF previewer never handles the file, it won't be corrupted when you download it. For more information, contact Tom Keays <email@example.com> 445-4322.

I keep getting back to the point, if it's good enough for Leica, why not Nikon, Canon, etc?
Leica is many times too small to be able to afford their own raw development software, and, at the time the DMR and M8 were introduced, probably even too small and insignificant a producer to have any certainty that Adobe would have supported a Leica prop format. That's probably changed now that the M8 and M9 have been successful, but remember where Leica were when they adopted DNG.

As usual, Wayne makes a very good point.
I sort of presumed that a majority of advanced shooters would use raw, but it seems it's the other way around.
Best regards
Quote from: Wayne Fox on August 12, 2012, 12:04:42 AM
As the owner of a small camera store that sells quite a few systems I can tell you raw has a long way to go. This may not be true on the very high end (D4 or D1x) where the expense of the camera is somewhat limited to very serious shooters, but even those are often sports shooters who try to nail it with jpeg just to speed their workflow/time to publish. Understand I"m sort of a specialty shop, and the majority of these cameras are being sold at Best Buy or Costco ...
And it's not middle age dentists with a mid life crises ... they may buy the camera but their wife ends up using it. And most women don't want to be bothered with anything technical. Give them P mode, jpeg and they are good to go. Certainly there are exceptions, and over the last year there is some movement towards raw by them.
but then to the next level, Lightroom hasn't penetrated that demographic nearly as strongly as one might think. I teach a basic LR class, and normally I get 3 or 4 out of the 8 that fit this category that are trying to figure out whether to use LR or not. I'm guessing less than 15 or 20% prosumer and top end dslr's we sell are to someone that uses LR. Most use iPhoto or a Windows equivalent or just use the included software.
This means boycotting camera makers won't do it, and they're not feeling any pressure at all to look at a standard.
Probably the only thing that might change it is a political mandate by some significant governing body such as the European Union or US (or even better both) that requires all digital cameras to save their raw data in a standard format. Unfortunately I don't see enough users wanting that to bring any pressure to those governing bodies either.
At some point you would think they would do it as a matter of economics ... just like Leica no longer has any one on staff developing raw software, all of the camera makers could do the same.
Another issue might be the camera makers don't want to be come dependent on a 3rd party company that may choose not to help them as quickly as they would like so they could release a new camera which needs some additions/tweaking to DNG, and they probably also don't like the idea that pushing DNG could be a huge financial windfall for Adobe with no compensation to them. I may be totally out to lunch of those two (sort of thinking out loud) ... and this would be more about their perception, not the reality of the situation.

My wife and I have a good friend that is the type of photographer that Wayne is talking about. He has a Nikon D700, several pieces of older Nikon glass, lots of gadgets, etc. He travels several times per year, for weeks at a time, to places all over the world and takes thousands of travel photos of very beautiful and exotic places. He only shoots jpegs. He only shoots in program mode. He knows that raw processing offers more control, but he is satisfied with his camera's jpeg files. He does not print any images, he shows them on his high end HUGE flat screen TV. Before digital, he shot only slides. He has continued his photography in the same way. He shoots digital "slides" now.

As usual, Wayne makes a very good point.
I sort of presumed that a majority of advanced shooters would use raw, but it seems it's the other way around.
Best regards
well I think a lot of "advanced" shooters do shoot raw. But "advanced" shooters are a minority of the overall camera buyers.

Perhaps the only way to get this type of number is from the Adobe Lightroom sales which would give a fair approximation (one would assume that JPEG shooters would not need Lightroom). As I look at their annual and quarterly financials they don't break this number out.

I feel antsy about proprietary formats about once every three years, when I buy a camera with a raw format or new body that's not yet supported by Adobe raw processors. (Sony RX-100 today.) I'm grumpy and complain about proprietary formats that add no value, wonder why everyone doesn't just get on the bandwagon for SOME common raw format. Then the update comes out for Adobe raw, suddenly I'm back to working with the multiple raw formats with no more thought about the file format than I would have if they were all jpg files... and the issue fades away.
I understand the concerns that some camera manufacturers may have about the current DNG being "Adobe DNG" having watched the period of jpg litigation. I understand the manufacturers wanting to have a proprietary format because somewhere deep inside they believe that some day, they're going to come up with something really brilliant where they need complete control over the raw file's capabilities. (Struggling to remember when that's last actually happened, but it's a possibility.) But as someone who, in his day job, works with applications that run under Unix, several forms of Linux, AIX, Solaris, Xenix (ok, I haven't seen Xenix in 20 years, but it used to be in the mix), I know it's possible to have a standard, with theoretically brilliant unique variations, and still provide superior interoperability and file consistency. So a real digital negative would not necessarily impede innovation even at the digital level.
Even more... My day job employer has donated some of its most interesting software application discoveries and patents to open source foundations, something that caused huge amounts of shock when it was first done, and continues today to confound peoples' thinking about intellectual property. (Trying to stay within the bounds of my day job's restrictions on what I say in public here...) Most of today's exciting massive data analytics and unstructured information processing use discoveries that were handed over to the public domain for free. Every competitor now has their own tweaks on those OS capabilities, and swears theirs are the best, but underneath the veneer code, there are common formats and processes - there have to be, or your tweak version will fall behind the progressive OS builds that add enormous stability and new functionality. Much of the world's infrastructure now is built on massive heaps of open source frameworks, file formats, and message formats of all sorts.
Give DNG to the Apache Foundation, or to someone who's got no tie or stake in Adobe's (or any other corporate entity's) success. Let people (including corporations with an interest in seeing new capabilities in the format) hack away at it and progress it in the managed form that OS frameworks and software follow. That might make it work. As my day job employer discovered a very long time ago, sometimes the best way to create positive innovation pressure in the market that is good for their own bottom line requires the whole world to be working on shaping foundational IP.
As long as the name "Adobe" appears within a few words of "DNG" in any discussion, DNG is likely to remain DOA as a common format.
But as of today... that doesn't affect me much, because Adobe has kept pace with the manufacturers' raw formats quite nicely. I'm almost unaware of how many raw formats populate my drive arrays. (But get to work on the RX-100...)

Was recently thinking about this:
How about an alternative in the form of DNG export from the manufacturers RAW conversion software? I realize it is not ideal, but could this be a possible approach towards manufacturers and beancounters?

Could work....Phase One's Capture One can do this, only problem is they are processing DNG spec 1.2 and are out of date. Capture One also has a hard time reading recent DNGs because of that (depending on what DNG options are used when saved).

Thanks for the welcome! We have done it off and on for a while now and havnt noticed any problems! We only have single phase power so that is why I was wondering about hooking 2 together. Sorry for the ignorance but what would be the biggest transformer style machine that would be able to run on single phase? thanks for the replies! Jerry
See you only want to turn your local control to 3/4 while gouging. You'll still get full output but the boards in the machine need to know whats going on. And yes if you do overload the machine output will drop in half. This is to protect the machine from nuking itself. This applys to ALL machines while gouging or running too heavy, be it transformer or inverter based.

HUNTSVILLE, Texas—Brad Bailey knows he has his work cut out for him. He sips a beer and watches as members of the Republican Party of Walker County mingle before their annual Ronald Reagan dinner. It's an all-white, well-heeled group with a smattering of cowboy hats mixed in.
"What's the crowd like?" he asks Tracy Sorensen, the party chairwoman. She tells him it's mostly traditional conservatives, plus a few agitators for Ron Paul, the former House member and presidential candidate from Texas. "We're glad to have you here," she adds.
A restaurateur by trade, Bailey has become seasoned in politics as a city-council member in his hometown of Nassau Bay, Texas, and as someone who has made dozens of presentations to GOP groups around the state, all on the same subject: the urgent need for immigration reform. He is pushing for a way out of the party's current dilemma in which voters view Republicans as obstructionists and naysayers.
Still, this is a crowd that likely sees immigration in terms of off-the-books work done by shady-looking Hispanics at day-laborer sites. They see foreigners as an invasive threat and worry about their having babies who automatically become citizens. And if given the choice, they probably would rather not talk about immigration at all.
With his conservative passion and a build reminiscent of a high school football player, Bailey looks like he could be a part of his audience. But it is his business experience that has given him a different perspective on immigration. He believes that Republicans will lose control of the state in five years if the GOP continues to make Hispanics feel unwelcome. To stop the bleeding, he says, Republicans need to change their philosophy by accepting some type of legalization for the current undocumented population, which is about 80 percent Latino.
"I challenge you to get to know some of these people. Know what they're here for and what they ran from."—Restaurateur Brad Bailey, speaking to a Republican group in southeast Texas
It's not an easy sell, but Bailey has mastered the folksy lines that show the Walker County crowd he speaks their language. He tells them his dog's name is "Dubya." He complains about E-Verify, the electronic system that employers can use to check the legal status of their new hires. "I get hot under the collar when Republicans are screaming for [mandatory] E-Verify. That's big government," he says. "It's a government-run software program. Folks, this will make the U.S. Postal Service look efficient." That gets a laugh.
The audience grows less receptive, however, when he talks with affection about the Hispanic workers at his family's restaurant, Sudie's Seafood House, just outside Houston. Two years ago, at the height of the Republican presidential primary season, Bailey's kitchen manager, Joel Hernandez, asked him how he could be a Republican when Republicans hate Hispanics. Bailey calls it his "Ah-ha!" moment. He realized then that the GOP needed to change. What he didn't realize was how hard it would be to convince the party of that.
Bailey shows the group a photo of Hernandez and him together in Sudie's kitchen. "I challenge you to get to know some of these people," he says. "Know what they're here for and what they ran from."
If they could meet Hernandez, they'd find a mild-mannered man from El Salvador who greets you with a smile even when tending to four mammoth pots (marinara, broth, bacon bits, green beans) on a gas stove. He takes Sundays off from Sudie's to go to church. He has been in the country for a while: In 1981, Hernandez paid a "fixer" $500 to bring him across the border. He was granted amnesty in 1986 under a law signed by President Reagan. He owns his home. He has been a naturalized citizen for 10 years.
"He is a great example of what a citizen can be," Bailey says on the drive back to Houston. "How is that so bad?"
It's an awkward and often unacknowledged truth that many immigrants in the United States haven't gone the citizenship route that Hernandez has taken, illustrating the gulf between the immigrant population and the politicians who are angling for reform. About half of all the immigrants eligible to apply for citizenship don't bother to do so, citing language and financial barriers and simple lack of interest, according to the Pew Hispanic Center. And for those who are here illegally, becoming a citizen one day might be the furthest thing from their minds. More than a dozen who spoke with National Journal said that they are far more concerned about ending President Obama's deportations of people without papers.
Before Bailey founded his nonprofit group Texas Immigration Solution in 2011, his life was different. He worried about staffing the fried-fish booth at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, the escalating price of catfish, and the razor-thin profit margin for his upscale steak restaurant. "What was life like before August 2011? Restaurant, restaurant, restaurant. It was a lot easier," he says.
Bailey is like small-business owners all over the country who are stymied by out-of-date immigration laws and who couldn't care less if their workers are foreign. His friends in the industry aren't thinking about immigration as a nationwide supply-and-demand labor problem or as a political time bomb. They are simply trying to stay in business.
Andy Shallal and Brad Bailey could very likely come to blows over almost any issue besides immigration. They believe in immigrants not for idealistic or political reasons but because they work hard.

Emeka Okafor traded to Wizards
The Wiz get Okafor and Ariza for nothing.....New Orleans cleans the slate to build around Davis and Gordon. I assume this means the Wiz are hoping Charlotte passes on Beal because they have nothing on the perimeter and an embarrassment of riches inside. Vesely, Seraphin, Booker, and Blatche backing up Nene and Okafor.
Also sets up the unlikely but possible scenario of the Hornets going after a second max player to team up with Gordon and Davis either this year or the next.

Gallery: TRANSPORTATION TUESDAY: The XR3 Do-it-yourself Hybrid
Robert Riley's XR3 is an incredible machine that is able to achieve over 125mpg on biodiesel and a whoping 225mpg in hybrid mode. With its sleek composite shell and ultra-efficient engine we were expecting to see a stratospheric price tag, however we were stunned to hear that the you can build it yourself for around $25,000! (assembly and parts not included).
Robert Riley designed the XR3 as a three-wheeled hybrid that can be assembled using readily available parts. Weighing in at 1480 pounds, the vehicle It has a top speed of above 80mph, Its battery can take you for 40 miles on a charge, and it can be recharged by simply plugging it into a wall socket.
The XR3 is not sold as a fully assembled vehicle – instead, buyers purchase plans from the designer in the form of a DVD. According to the website, the creation of the vehicle itself is not difficult and anyone with moderate skills will be able to assemble it:
Plans enable people with common building skills to build a duplicate of the XR3 Hybrid prototype or convert their own car into a significantly more fuel-efficient vehicle. Readers will understand the factors that influence fuel economy, and learn how to make any car achieve greater fuel economy. The XR3 Hybrid gives enthusiasts and experimenters the opportunity to significantly reduce their transportation expenses and have fun doing it.
The XR3's manual estimates its total construction cost to be around $25,000, although depending on certain choices the cost could be reduced to $7,500. Our only criticism? The DVD is windows-only.

please "connect me" asap, I want as much access as possible. I definitely want to make, build, access info to subsequently have the XR3.

I would like to be kept informed of your progress. Pricess. etc.

The question has to be asked, why does this individual not sell this car as is? If we the people can make the car for 25 k then surely the inventor can mass produce it for much less and resell it to dealers or to the public directly. I would love to hear an answer to this question via email and would be happy to assist in building a company if financing is the issue.
September 11, 2008 at 3:11 pm
There is a reason that folks sell this type of product as a kit. Usually, the most common is it didn't meet transportation safety guidelines. Before anyone purchases something like this, they had better check into whether or not they will be able to license it for street use. Where I live (Alaska), a three wheeled vehicle is classified as a motorcycle. In order to register a motorcycle, the frame must have a USDOT certified marque permanently attached (I know this because I tried and was unable to register a custom built motorcycle). Unless this company provides such a certification (which most companies will not do if they are not the ones assembling the vehicle), the purchaser may be unable to register this vehicle.
September 10, 2008 at 5:52 pm
Preventive Auto Parts thinks this concept car is very cool. I am sure over time these cars will become more and more familiar to the public. I would like to see a sales lot full of these XR3\\\'s with builder/mechanics available to create as requested.

|Kirkwood, Mo.
|High School:
|Rockwood Summit HS
2012- A preseason All-American by multiple media outlets, Williams has been named to five different All-American teams (Coaches, AP, Beyond Sports Network and Daktronics) ... He was the MIAA Defensive Player of the Year, as well as being named both Regional (Daktronics) and National (BSN & D2football.com) Defensive Players of the Year... Williams became the all-time sacks leader for the school and finished with 27 in his career at Missouri Southern. He had at least a half sack in all but three games this year and had a tackle for a loss in all but one game. He finished the season second on the team with 68 tackles, 31 solo, including 16.5 for a loss of 58 yards.

"I'mma need y'all to stay with the group," says Music Director at Abramson Science and Technology Charter School, Erica Johnson, as she looks after some eager gradeschoolers who want to buy sno-balls."I can't let you guys walk by yourself, this is a big place; we need to stay together."
We had had a full day at Jazz Fest and were exhausted as we sat among 30 or so fellow Treme followers, faithfully keeping our appointment to keep an eye on how our self-portrait was coming along, dinners in our laps, in the front room of Bywater's Country Club.
The experience was far different from any of Treme I'd ever seen before.
The bad news is Billy Delle will be out resting tonight after returning back from Pakistan on "Classified Business".
The good news (to some it may be bad news) is the Boudin Man has plans to hijack the airwaves from 7:00 p.m. to midnight with some very special programming.
My approach to planning JazzFest: pick a bunch of shows that I absolutely can't miss, then when the night of the show comes around be open to going anywhere and doing anything. That being said, here's the shows I can't wait to see:
Pitch Perfect!
So many of the images in the opening episode of HBO's 2nd season's premier of Treme resonate with the pictures of New Orleans that I carry in my mind's eye--an eye that has been richly provisioned by this city over a lifetime.
Get ready New Orleans; the Poor Clares will soon all be back in town to celebrate their 20th year anniversary playing at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival as one of the premium Irish bands to come out of the Crescent City.
In honor of the late great Don "Big Moose" Jamison
in honor of everyone celebrating Easter
any excuse to play this is a good one...
The Tone Scientists and Sound Chemists and Vibration Physicists of the Kitchen Sink will bring you the epic avant garde free jazz sounds of the John Coltrane Ensemble's
The judges are still declaring a draw so join Brice Nice and Alski in the ring for round 4. As always the only rule is staying in the groove .

Friday, October 03, 2003CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (October 3, 2003) - The East Tennessee State men's tennis team participated in the Pre-Qualifying rounds of the 2003 Icy Hot/ITA All-American Championships, which began singles action today at the Champions Club in Chattanooga. Junior Federico Ochoa (Manizales, Columbia) won his first two singles matches to advance to the next round of play. Ochoa defeated Minnesota's Sion Wilkins 7-5, 6-0 and Clemson's Brett Twente 6-0, 3-6, 6-4. Diego Iglesias (Mar del Plata, Argentina) and Alejandro Salazar (Arequipa, Peru) also won their first round matches. Iglesias was eliminated in the second round, while Salazar has yet to play his second round and will face Jorday Doberg of Florida. The Icy Hot/ITA All-American Tournament will continue tomorrow with the start of doubles action. The Icy Hot/ITA Men's All-American Championships is not only the largest single tournament of this season in collegiate tennis, with over 300 competitors, but also the first of three national championship events at the Division I level during the 2003-04 collegiate tennis season. The Icy Hot/ITA Men's All-American Championships include 256-singles player and 128-doubles team prequalifying tournaments played October 3-6 which feed into 64-player and 32-doubles team qualifying tournaments October 7-8. The 64-player, 32-doubles team main draw takes place Oct. 9-12. The singles tournament fields can run over 300 players, making it the largest collegiate event of the season. A player who begins in prequalifying must win seven matches just to reach the main draw. UCLA's Vince Allegre did just that in 1997, then went on to win five more to reach the final. This event has been played annually since 1979. A number of its past participants have enjoyed successful professional tennis careers, including Todd Martin (Northwestern), MaliVai Washington (Michigan) and Sargis Sargsian (Arizona State), and current U.S. Davis Cup team members James Blake (Harvard), Bob and Mike Bryan (Stanford), and Brian Vahaly (Virginia). Bob Bryan won the '97 singles title, Blake the '98 singles and doubles titles and Vahaly reached the '99 singles final and '00 doubles final. Middle Tennessee's Daniel Klemetz beat Illinois' Amer Delic in last year's singles final at the Champions Club. Delic would eventually win the NCAA singles title (and played in this year's U.S. Open). Delic and Michael Calkins won the doubles title.

Wilson, Rembert sign on with ETSU hoops
Friday, November 12, 2010
Duo marks first additions to Buccaneers' 2011-12 signing class
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Nov. 11, 2010) - ETSU men's basketball head coach Murry Bartow announced Thursday the program has received national letters of intent from two players for the 2011-12 recruiting class.
Rashawn Rembert, a 6-foot-3, 185-pound guard from Sickles High School in Tampa, Fla., along with Lester Wilson, a 6-foot-4, 185-pound swingman from Carter High School in Knoxville, Tenn., had both verbally committed to the Buccaneers months ago, but the two made it official on Thursday.
"We're really pleased to welcome both Rashawn and Lester into our program," Bartow said. "We are lucky to have an experienced, veteran team this year, but we will have a lot of holes to fill next year. Both these guys can help us."
Rembert was a first team all-conference, all-county and all-state selection as a junior, averaging 22 points and seven rebounds a game a year ago. He shot over 42 percent from 3-point range, and is expected to give the Bucs' another potential scorer to add to the roster.
"We're really excited having Rashawn coming into the program," Bartow said. "He gives us another big guard, and with the loss of so many scorers next year, he comes in as someone who can make shots. He's a great kid and a good athlete from a part of the country that has been really good for us."
Rembert said ETSU just "felt" right.
"I wanted to come into a winning program with an at-home feel," Rembert said. "That was what made the difference for me at ETSU. Everywhere else I felt a lot of pressure to commit. But at ETSU everyone was really mellow and mature. They let me see the program and make my own decision. Getting away from home was also important to me, and having a chance to play with Tampa guys like (Sheldon) Cooley, (Adam) Sollazzo and (Lukas) Poderis is going to be exciting."
Meanwhile, Wilson is a supremely talented athlete with the ability to play above the rim. He averaged 27.4 points and 13 rebounds as a junior and has been named all-district and all-region for three years in a row.
"First of all he's a great kid with a wonderful personality," Bartow said. "He reminds us a lot of Isiah Brown in that way. Basketball wise he is undersized for the forward, but we think he's a lot like Kevin Tiggs in the sense that he doesn't really fit a position. He is a high-major athlete and is unbelievably efficient from 10-feet and in."
Wilson said it was the ETSU coaching staff's desire to bring him to Johnson City that was the difference for him when making a decision.
"I felt wanted," he said. "Every other team - even some in the SEC - would talk with me and show interest, but it felt like every time I was playing Coach Bartow was there and making a real effort to get me to come to ETSU. Once I made my visit I just fell in love with the place and knew it was where I wanted to be."

|Three Types of Festivals This Weekend
Three types of festivals here in Vermont this weekend: two winter festivals, a music festival, and a distinctive, old time ice harvesting festival. Imagine all that in this one tiny state!
Not just a winter festival, but a Viking Winter Festival! Saturday and Sunday, January 31 and February 1 in Ludlow VT.
Make a snow sculpture and enter in the sculpture contest, watch the parade on Main Street, play in the kids' obstacle course, view fireworks in the town park and enjoy the bonfire and hot chocolate.
The Bennington Winterfest is Saturday, January 31.
There will be an ice sculpture contest, Penguin Plunge, house tours, dog sled rides, indoor food featuring a chili tasting, and for the kids, face painting, bouncy house, games, prizes, band and some other nonsense. Be sure you see the pet winter fashion contest and bring your own well dressed dog or cat to enter.
In nearby Brattleboro, the Northern Roots Festival is celebrating its second annual gathering this Saturday.
The festival brings together about two dozen local and regional musicians who specialize in old musical traditions including Irish, Scottish, English and French Canadian.
It will be held at New England Youth Theater, 100 Flat Street, in downtown Brattleboro.
Performances start at 1:30 and go to about 5:00. There is also a 7:30 evening performance.
Northern Roots has a MySpace page you can visit here and listen to some of the music.
The 30th Annual Brookfield Ice Harvest on Saturday, January 31, recreates ice harvesting as it was done in the days before refrigeration. Back in the old days, large chunks of ice were carved form lakes and ponds to be stored in buildings with thick walls sometimes insulated with hay, wool, newspaper or whatever else was lying around. It provided an efficient way to store food to keep it from spoiling.
There will be a talk, a demonstration, cutting competition, and hauling competition that adults and kids can try (prizes will be awarded). Also, there will be snowshoeing and ice sculpting. Brookfield is famous for its floating bridge.
Thee will also be food, ice skating, and dog sledding. Brookfield is a wonderful little town full of Vermont charm.

Ill Millom baby drama sparks on-call doctor appeal
Last updated at 16:48, Wednesday, 20 February 2013
A LENGTHY race to get a poorly baby to hospital has sparked calls for the return of a town's on-call doctor service.
Councillor Janice Brown, the mayor of Millom, has gained the support of the town council in writing to Millom's only doctor's surgery, Waterloo House Surgery, to lobby surgery managers to consider reinstating the after-hours service.
Since the service was dropped a number of years ago, Millom residents have had to use the Cumbria Health On Call Service, formerly Baycall, at Furness General Hospital in Barrow.
Cllr Brown believes the town needs its on-call doctor's service back, after her nine-month-old granddaughter, Amy Date, was recently taken on the 20-odd mile journey to see the out-of-hours doctor at FGH.
She said: "Amy had a cold on the Friday and on the Saturday she had very shallow breathing, so her parents had to drive her to the hospital, in Barrow. It transpires that she had an upper and lower respiratory problem and, after a second visit, had to be kept in hospital for a few days.
"I don't want to use the ambulance without good cause. But the on-call doctor said they would ring them back in 40 minutes. That's a long time when you've still got to travel for more than half an hour on top of that, especially with a sick baby. There are plenty of doctors at the Millom practice.
"Not everyone has got the transport to go to Barrow. Or some don't have an extended family to look after children if they need to go through.
"All we'd need is someone on call of an evening or at a weekend, as it used to be. Or even having a Baycall stationed in Millom. I know it would put a strain on services, and money is tight. But it is people's lives you're thinking of.''
Cllr Brown said recent bad weather and subsequent hazardous driving conditions on the A595 highlighted the need for a service in Millom. She said: "With the state of the roads, and even the recent bad weather, how are we going to get through to Barrow?"
Nobody from Waterloo House Surgery was available for comment as the Evening Mail went to press.

Have your say
It is ridiculous we have to travel to Barrow for appointments out of hours. There is a hospital and a surgery here in town. Not everyone has the means to travel and the roads are treacherous in bad weather
Well said, about time they did something here, i have lived here for nearly 7 years now and cant believe how much has changed on a negative note not positive. We have a hospital with no doctors, no x-ray department working what is the point. I have a 20 year old daughter and an 8 year old son with autism and things do happen when we need to get to FGH which costs money and time, again well said, catch up millom otherwise people will be moving ok

Skilled and creative across the board (no pun intended), Joey has pushed the manual to ridiculous limits, helped create the international Red Bull Manny Mania contest series back in 2007, and continues to break new ground in his own unique way.
Brezinski lives the California dream, hanging out in Venice or at The Berrics, working on his clothing brand So Rad, and searching for the perfect burrito. He also has a goofy sense of humour that keeps people smiling everywhere he goes, as you'll see below in some of his picks for his favourite things...
Favourite movie:
My favourite movie is Idiocracy. The first time I watched it I thought it was funny and sad at the same time. The way they depended on technology to run their lives - it could definitely happen.
Favourite book:
The Macbook Pro by Apple. It's so intriguing; I really love the part about the iTunes, that's my favourite.
Burritos. Breakfast burritos, bean and cheese burritos, spaghetti and meatballs burritos…
Favourite TV show:
My favourite TV show is Wipeout. It takes zero brain cells to watch, and it's pure entertainment.
Favourite magazine:
Transworld Skateboarding and Thrasher have really good articles, do it yourself tips, really helpful information.
Favourite song:
"O.P.P." by Naughty by Nature. I jam to that daily.
Favourite animal:
My pug, Pizza. She is so rad, and she's also the face of my brand, So Rad.
Favourite colour:
Magenta or neon black.
Favourite holiday:
Labor Day because it falls on my birthday. Also, I feel for all the moms who had to go through labour.
Favourite gadget:
My new iPod Touch. It does everything: music, video and it updates my daily Twit/Clip on Twitter…
Favourite thing to eat:
Burritos. Breakfast burritos, bean and cheese burritos, spaghetti and meatballs burritos…
Favourite thing to wear:
My signature So Rad hooded sweatshirt with machine-washable, built-in headphones.
Favourite place to be:
The brand new home I just purchased, or the hot tub in its backyard.
Favourite way to indulge or treat/reward yourself:
Cheesecake, without a doubt. It's so rad; I'm going to get some now.
Favourite times to get up/go to bed:
I like to get up around 9am and walk my dogs. Midnight is always a good time to go to sleep.
Favourite thing to spend money on:
My new house. I'm always hitting Best Buy or Home Depot. Refrigerator, stove, carpet and a new picket fence. Just making it my own place is a fun new hobby.
Favourite thing to do in your free time:
Nothing. Sitting on my couch and doing nada. That's what I like to do, just relax.
Favourite thing about your sport:
The love I have for skateboarding. Every day, I can't wait to get to the park or wherever it is I'm going to skate that day. I also love every time I learn a new trick; after all these years, it's still the best feeling.
Favourite sport other than your own:
Bowling. I just love fondling the ball in my hand before I fling it right down the middle.
Favourite celebrity or sports star:
Jared from Subway. He set a goal to take a foot-long down every day… So inspiring.
Favourite people to skate with:
Kenny Anderson and Ronnie Creager. They're just good friends that I always looked up to as a kid. Now I get to skate with them all the time. It's like my idols are my good friends now, so crazy.
Favourite thing in your house or apartment:
The hot tub. After a long day of skating, coming home to that is the best.
Favourite thing about your life:
Being able to do what I love every day: skateboarding.

Venera 16 arrived at Venus at 06:22 UT on 14 October 1983 after en route course corrections on 15 June and 5 October 1983. It began its mapping operations six days later in its 24-hour-period near-polar orbit.
Mapping resolution of both Veneras 15 and 16 was comparable to that possible with the 300-meter dish at Arecibo in Puerto Rico, although the Soviet orbiters provided coverage over latitudes higher than 30° - too far north for Earthbased observations. Both spacecraft also used an East German infrared spectrometer to map the planet in infrared wavelengths in order to provide a heat atlas of the atmosphere.
Although the primary missions of both spacecraft were fulfilled by 10 July 1984, at least one of the pair was still operational in November 1984. If there were plans to change its orbit to provide coverage of lower latitudes, these were never carried out.
