I am Abhijit Kiran Valluri, a graduate student at the University of Maryland, College Park. I did my undergrad at the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras.
I am from Hyderabad, India. I speak Telugu as my native language, and love to eat Indian chaat and other savory dishes back home!
Despite the fact that a majority of Indians are passionate about the sport 'Cricket', I've stopped following that sometime ago. I used to follow Formula One religiously, but of late I don't see that often either.
I am usually preoccupied by the ever-growing list of electronic gadgets I seem to collect, and with comedy shows on NetFlix, YouTube, etc. I recently started learning Android programming.
What I do
Apart from banging my head over my desk, I also manage to go to the gym, eat healthy and participate in fun activities.
In 2013-14, being the President of ECEGSA, I got to be in many more social activities, and also organize such events. It is quite a lot of work, but ultimately totally worthwhile!
I am also the webmaster of ECEGSA, since 2012, and made the new website from scratch, using "Joomla!", and continue to improve it regularly, with feedback from the department.
Furhtermore, I wasw involved in the Graduate Assistant Advisory Committee, which meets with the administration of the University to raise the issues and concerns of our fellow grad assistants around campus.
The GAAC aims to reach out to the grad assistants, communicate with them and learn key issues faced by students. Then, via the "meet and confer" process with the administration, we hope to make significant impact in the policy making at UMD.

The New Mastersounds are a four-piece funk band based in Leeds, England. In the late 1990s, guitarist and producer Eddie Roberts was running a club night in Leeds called "The Cooker." When The Cooker moved into a new venue with a second floor in 1999, there was space and the opportunity to put a live band together to complement the DJ sets. Simon Allen and Eddie had played together in 1997 as The Mastersounds, though with a different bassist and no organ. Through friends and the intimate nature of the Leeds music scene, Pete Shand and Bob Birch were added on bass and Hammond respectively, and The New Mastersounds were born. Though it was raw, and more of a boogaloo sound at first, it was powerful from the start. Their first rehearsal was hot enough for Blow it Hard Records to release on two limited-edition 7" singles in 2000. As a band, and as individuals, they have since clocked up collaborations with an impressive array of musicians DJs and producers, including: Lou Donaldson (Blue Note), Corinne Bailey Rae (EMI), Quantic (Tru Thoughts), Carleen Anderson (Young Disciples / Brand New Heavies), Keb Darge & Kenny Dope (Kay Dee Records), John Arnold (Ubiquity), Mr Scruff (Ninja Tuna), Snowboy (Ubiquity), Fred Everything (2020vision), Andy Smith (Portishead), James Taylor (JTQ), LSK (Faithless), and Karl Denson (Lenny Kravitz / Greyboy AllStars)

Nature and Wildlife
Utah is a land of contrast and variety in landscapes, in color, in precipitation, and of abundant natural, undeveloped space necessary for a healthy ecosystem full of wildlife. With more than 600 species of mammals, fishes, birds, reptiles, and amphibians, Utah has so much to offer wildlife viewing aficionados, hunters, and fisherman.
In winter, take a sleigh ride through Hardware Ranch for a chance to observe up close a herd of a thousand or more wild elk taking refuge from the harsh winter environs found in the mountains just above the valley. Cast your line into the waters of the Green River as you float through Red Canyon. Watch rainbow and cutthroat trout as they dart through crystal clear waters, so many you could imagine taking a dip and grabbing one with your bare hands. This is just the beginning, one of countless special "blue-ribbon" fishing opportunities to be had throughout the state.
Utah is a fantastic state for birders. The Great Salt Lake and its wetlands, a Western Hemisphere Shorebird Reserve Network site, is a critical annual staging area for millions of migrating waterfowl and shorebirds from the Arctic Tundra to the tip of South America! Make sure to visit Antelope Island State Park and notice countless birds as well as bison, deer, California bighorn sheep, pronghorn antelope and many other Utah wildlife species.
Within this land of color and contrast, hunters are sure to find their bliss. Utah is a haven for mule deer and elk hunting, in addition to a variety of game birds, such as the wild turkey and chukar grouse. Some hunting enthusiasts choose to try their luck at obtaining one of the limited numbers of permits issued to hunt big game such as black bear, bison, or mountain lion.
Whether you're interested in seeing wildlife in its natural habitat, or a hunting and/or fishing experience bar none, Utah, with its gift of abundant, undisturbed wilderness, cannot be surpassed.
Click here to view a printable onesheeter with additional information about Utah wildlife.
Founded by Utah's Hogle Zoo in 2009, the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (DWR), Wildlife Protection Society (WPS), and Utah State University (USU) have partnered to develop tools to educate individuals and communities about how to live, work, and recreate safely in Utah wildlife habitats.
WAU provides simple guidance and direction for Utah communities through these three main messages:
• Be Aware of the wild: Learn about wildlife.
• Share the wild: Respect and change behaviors.
• Care for the wild: Take action, coexist safely and help wildlife stay wild.
Learn more by visiting Wild Aware Utah.
Plan a hunting, fishing or wildlife viewing trip to Utah and experience the great outdoors while admiring the many different species of Utah wild animals.

I have a TB 302 with a High-Freq box. I regularly weld 16 ga. aluminum with it and it does fine (AC, 3/32" pure tungsten). Of course, that was nice clean metal not pipe...I wish I had AC balance sometimes though...

Please read the original posting.
1/32" or less. That's less than 22 ga. material. Material is not new, it's been in the weather.
The guy who can weld that stuff with a TB and a HF251 unit would think welding two soda cans together with a Dynasty 200 was a day in the park.
Unless I miss my guess, it will require lower freq and pulsing to get a weld that will hold. Last time I checked, a TB didn't have that capability.

You are right I talked to Miller today and they said that the HF Might do it but that it was a big MIGHT because of the pipe being out in the weather and that the pipe was not the best grade of alum. Miller told me the Dynasty 200 DX would do it old pipe or new that the 200 had a lot more adjustment to it than anything else and it would take care of the job.Now if I can just find $2600.
Thanks again guys for all the coments and help.
Lefty LycasTrailblazer 302
Wow 16 ga. isn't 1/32"! Since I appear to be the only one (to post) with this setup that he was asking about (in the original post ), I thought he might like a comparison of what I have done. I have never done something that thin and I don't think it could do it. I would go with a nice little inverter, there isn't enough adjustment with the TB and a HF251, all you can adjust is the high-freq intensity...

Thursday, September 05, 2002Johnson City, Tenn. (September 5, 2002) - East Tennessee State University's women's soccer team defeated Southern Conference foe Appalachian State, 1-0 Thursday night in what was nothing short of a thrilling victory for the Buccaneer's young program. This marked ETSU's first ever victory against the Mountaineers who fell to 0-2, 0-1 in conference play. The game was back and fourth all night long and after the first period of play the score was knotted at zero. In the 79th minute of the second period ETSU freshman Erin Ashton (New Bern, N.C.) was awarded a penalty kick that she drove into the back right hand side of the net to score what would become the game-winning goal. "Erin showed such composure as a freshman to step up and finish the play," said ETSU head coach Heather Henson. "I was nervous," said Ashton, "but I think this win will give us motivation and confidence for the rest of the season." ETSU's Heather Sanden (Manassas, Va.) recorded her first shutout of the season with four saves on the night. The Buccaneers grabbed the win in front of a lively crowd. "The fans were awesome tonight," Henson said. The win moves ETSU to 2-1, 1-0 in conference play. "Tonight's win was a step in the right direction for our program, and it came against a very strong and physically talented Appalachian State team," said Henson.

Office of Public Interest and Community Service
Created in 1996, the Office of Public Interest and Community Service (OPICS) is the hub of the public interest community at Georgetown. In addition to coordinating many of the Law Center's public interest programs, OPICS is the primary career office for students interested in exploring public interest and government legal opportunities. The office also administers the Law Center's extensive pro bono program, which encourages and facilitates pro bono legal service by students and other members of the Law Center community. Through our myriad services and activities, OPICS seeks to foster in all law students a commitment to service that will continue through their legal careers.
OPICS' four professional career advisors meet with hundreds of students and a growing number of alumni each year. The advisors assist with overall public interest career planning, provide information on summer and academic year opportunities and post-graduate employment, review resumes and cover letters, conduct mock interviews, and assist with post-graduate fellowship and government honor applications.
The office's recruiting initiatives include three major job fairs each year: the Government Interview Program, held annually in September, the Spotlight on Government Networking Fair, held annually in October and the Public Sector Recruiting Program, conducted jointly with George Washington University Law School and held each year in late January/early February. In addition, we coordinate ongoing public sector resume collections and administer an extensive public sector jobs database.
Our career-related educational programming includes a variety of workshops, information sessions and alumni and employer panels. Each year, we host a series of programs on public interest internships, ongoing public interest panels featuring alumni and local attorney speakers, and a range of topical programs on subjects as diverse as interview preparation, fellowship, and summer funding workshops, and debt management and loan repayment information sessions.
One of our signature programs for incoming students is the Public Interest Fellows Program, which provides a comprehensive support system for public interest-minded students from the first day of law school until graduation. To learn more about the program and how to apply, explore the Public Interest Fellows Program page.
OPICS also coordinates the Law Center's Pro Bono Pledge, which challenges each student to perform 75 hours of law-related pro bono service before he or she graduates. Those who complete the Pledge receive a certificate signed by the Dean and special recognition at graduation. During the 2010-2011 academic year, students signed up for the Pledge collectively performed more than 10,000+ hours of pro bono service at organizations such as DC Legal Aid Society, Legal Counsel for the Elderly, and the DC Employment Justice Center.
Of particular note to prospective students is our 1L Pro Bono Project, which places first-year students in law-related volunteer positions with legal services organizations in the DC metropolitan area. Students provide assistance with client intake, basic legal research, and other matters appropriate for beginning law students. More than 100 students sign up for the 1L Pro Bono Project each year.

Smith (tough call here but much in terms of FA class and we have Noone better)
Hartline (decent 2nd, great 3rd receiver, hard worker)
Starks (our best D player)
Fasano (decent no2, no other TE can inline block)
Let walk:
Bush (should be paid like and play the role of 3rd down back; tough call here as he is the only playmaker on O; hoping Miller can step in
And DT can learn how to hold on the rock).
McDaniel (if Odrick kicks inside to pair with Randall, he's expendable).
Clemons (should be replaceable, although wouldn't mind keeping him for depth).
Moore (would love to keep him, but he's going to want more opportunity)
Cogs (doesnt fit system)
4-5Starters on O:
1 OT (whatever spot Martin doesn't man, assuming Jake walks)
1-2 OG (cogs an jerry dont fit, 2 needed if samuda can't make the jump)
TE-fasano is our blocking TE, need one with height that can bust the seam an help in red zone
WR- need some speed here please
3 Starters on D:
1 DE (2 would be nice for depth)
1CB (smith can man the other, should draft 2 here)
1 SS (Clemons is decent depth, but shouldn't be starting)
total of 7-8 starters needed:
If we can hit home runs and count on our first 4 picks in the first 3 rounds starting (yeah right), as well as 2-3 FA, that should cover our bases.
Draft 2013:
1 (Trade down, pick up another 3rd)...TE Eifert
2 DE Dion Jordan...JPP/JT Clone
2 CB Trufant...need another CB!
3 SS Bacarri Rambo..last name does it
These first 4 picks penciled in as day 1 STARTERS.

Gallery: PREFAB FRIDAY: Beautiful Green Roofed Affordable Housing In th...
Designed by Acanthus LW Architects and built by Paradigm Housing in partnership with Hillingdon, Birchway is made up of 24 one and two bedroom units. Five buildings with curved sedum covered green roofs make up the complex, along with garden space and bicycle storage. The buildings are constructed from prefabricated modules made from 65% recycled steel, which were delivered with the kitchens and bathrooms already installed. Upon arrival, the modules were set into place by crane, connected together and then the exterior, roof and finishes were added. From site clearing to construction completion, the project only took two months to build out.
The beautiful green roofs include both skylights and daylighting windows to let in light to the rooms below. Rainwater is collected from the roof and stored on the side of the house. Photovoltaic systems are installed on the southern aspects and wood-pellet biomass boilers provide heating and hot water. With tight insulation, passive ventilation and heat recovery systems, energy efficiency was a top priority. On top of the spectacularly unique design, the award winning development was built to Level 5 of the UK's Code of Sustainable Homes, with 6 being the highest.

Great article
I also believe that when it comes to selling your property, the kitchen is probably the most important room of all. Modern families spend much of their time in this area: cooking, eating, working and playing. Whether you update the existing space or undertake more major work – knocking down walls to create an open-plan space, for example – transforming your kitchen will pay off

Asian Art
The Denver Art Museum's Asian art collection originated in 1915 with a donation of Chinese and Japanese art objects from a single passionate collector and has broadened to include works from the entire Asian continent. Spanning a period from the fourth millennium B.C. to the present, these objects illustrate the wide-ranging achievements of Asian artists and artisans.
Jesse and Nellie Shwayder Galleries, William Sharpless Jackson Jr. Gallery, Walter + Mona Lutz Gallery & Bj Averitt Gallery, Level 5, North Building
The Asian art collection has occupied the galleries on the fifth floor of the North Building since it opened in 1971. The Jesse and Nellie Shwayder Galleries encompass 22,000 square feet of space and display changing selections from the museum's collection and loans. Geographic galleries are devoted to the arts of China, India, Japan, Korea, Southeast Asia, Southwest Asia, and Tibet and Nepal. Thematic galleries include objects associated with the Scholar's Tradition and Bamboo in East Asia, Everyday Traditions in South and Southeast Asia, and Buddhist Art.
The William Sharpless Jackson Jr. Gallery provides visitors with the opportunity to explore particular aspects of Asian art in greater depth. It features changing exhibitions drawn from the museum's extensive holdings and guest exhibitions from other Asian art collections. William Sharpless Jackson Jr.'s connection with Asia began during World War II when he served in the Asian Pacific Theater. A half century after he returned to Colorado, he made a commitment "to engender mutual understanding and esteem among all peoples and nations through the appreciation and enjoyment of Asian art."
Displays of bamboo art from China, Japan, and Korea are shown in the Walter + Mona Lutz Gallery, a space dedicated exclusively for artwork made of bamboo. Walter E. Lutz (1910–2003) met his future wife Mona Miwako Furuki on Christmas day 1945 in Oiso, Japan. Avid collectors of bamboo artwork, they visited antique dealers and bamboo artists throughout Japan. During the 1960s and 1970s, they traveled to other Asian countries and collected additional bamboo items. The Lutz Bamboo Collection became a family love affair, and the Denver Art Museum is the fortunate recipient of more than 900 gifts from three generations of the Lutz family—Walter and Mona, Tina and Michael Chow, Adelle Lutz and David Byrne, China Chow, Maximilian Chow, and Malu Byrne.
The Bj Averitt Gallery features art from Southwest Asia, including examples from the Anatolian and Arabian peninsulas, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Central Asia. Objects in the gallery represent many millennia of art, beginning with the ancient civilizations of Mesopotamia, and following the flourishing and growth of Islam to the present day. Regions where this culture spread, such as Africa, Southern Europe, and Southeast Asia, also are represented. Many of the artworks on display were collected to explore the movement of ideas east and west through this region, a plan fostered by Bj Averitt through her many contributions and more than 40 years of service to the Asian Art Department and the Denver Art Museum. Developing an interest in Islamic art as a child traveling in Egypt and acting as the staff aide for the Asian Art Department from 1976 to 2007, she established the Bj Averitt Islamic Art Fund to promote an understanding and appreciation of Islamic art.
The Denver Art Museum's Asian art collection originated in 1915 with a donation of Chinese and Japanese art objects from a single passionate collector and has broadened to include works from the entire Asian continent. Spanning a period from the fourth millennium B.C. to the present, these objects illustrate the wide-ranging achievements of Asian artists and artisans.
The initial gift from Walter C. Mead (1866–1951), who pledged his Asian art collection to the people of Denver in 1915, prompted the Denver Art Museum to include Asian art in its representation of world art. The Mead Collection was first exhibited at the Denver Museum of Natural History and transferred to the Denver Art Museum's new galleries in the Denver City and County Building in 1932–33. Born in Greenwich, Connecticut, Mead moved to Denver at the age of 18 to work for the Denver Water Company, then presided over by his uncle, Walter S. Cheesman, after whom Cheesman Park is named. Mead traveled extensively and gathered works of art for his collection while seeing the world. In 1937, Mead sold the remainder of his collection—-including several thousand Asian art objects—to the Denver Art Museum for the nominal sum of one dollar.
Beginning in 1946, a series of gifts from Harry B. Goodwin (1876–1971) and his wife, Mary Guthrie Goodwin (d. 1956), helped establish the museum's collection of South and Southeast Asian art. From 1956 to 1968, the Asian art collection was shown in the Oriental Museum, a separate branch of the museum located on 14th Avenue where the Denver Art Museum now stands. The Goodwins' interest in South Asian art developed through Mrs. Goodwin's brother, Walter Guthrie, who was the chief representative of the Standard Oil Company in India. The Goodwins made their initial gift of South Asian art in 1946, followed in 1948 by additional Indian objects that Mrs. Goodwin had inherited from her brother. Mr. Goodwin donated a final group of South Asian objects to the museum in 1971 when he was 94.
In addition to the Asian art department, other departments of the Denver Art Museum collect Asian art. Asian textiles from the textile art department are shown in the Asian art galleries as well as the Neusteter Textile Gallery, and examples of Asian art are part of the departments of architecture, design, and graphics; modern and contemporary art; New World art; and photography.
For more detailed descriptions of the Asian art department, its collections, and past events, please visit the department archive website: http://www.denverartmuseum-asian.org/.
Support Group
Founded in 1981 to support acquisition and conservation programs for the Asian art department, the Asian Art Association (AAA) offers symposia, exhibitions, receptions, and lectures. AAA members also share their interest and expertise in Asian art through social events and trips throughout the country and abroad. Learn more about the AAA at www.asianartassociation.org or on the DAM Support Groups page.

So, I got a wild hair the other night. I was looking at the kids Radio Flyer toy wagon... And I look over at this pile of ATV tires... back over at the wagon, back over to the tires again, look out at my lifted Superduty... look back at the wagon, and then over to the tires again... Pretty soon, I'm remembering this scraped out ATV in the junk pile...
This project was 4 days, start to finish (paint and all). I Got the wild hair last Monday night that I could have this done for our car show this weekend. I start the mockup, and get with my paint shop buddy and tell him I'm gonna drop off some stuff on Friday morning that I need to have painted and back in hand by Friday night. SO I now have Monday night to Thursday night afterwork to get this designed and built and out to paint.
All I know is that I wanted it lifted, atv tires, 4 wheel independent suspension and 4 wheel steering, and it had to be durable, I want kids to be able to play with it, and my rod buddies to give their kids rides, now and then. And have fun at car shows with it, to match my lifted truck.
Anyway, here it is, start to finish, 4 days, after work in the garage.
First picture, My F250 on 40's. Picture is kind of deceiving, for a daily driver truck, this thing is VERY big. Not freaky big, but BIG. It looks proportional in the pics, and you don't get a sense of size out of it.
The wagon goes with THIS truck, so let's start with one pic of the truck, and get to the wagon build.
Results 1 to 10 of 19
Thread: Bob's Lifted Wagon
Bob's Lifted Wagon
Here's where it starts. Mockups and parts.
I wanted this to be my first TIG project, and I did TIG about 99% of it. I ended up having to do some tack welds with the MIG, as I haven't mastered laying on the floor and holding many things together and running the foot pedal with my elbow . Plus, lots of use of magnets to hold small parts together for a quick tack. TIG hates magnets.
You can see the front and rear suspension mounts, the handle mounts and all the linkage for the 4 wheel steering.
I really wanted a SERIOUS lifted look and some pleasing shapes (not just the easy to do square shapes). So, I roll bent a piece of 1.5" square stock to resemble a leaf spring, and that's the main chassis and top mount shown in a few of these pics.
Front shocks and mounts, top and bottom, are made and tack'd into position.
Rear shocks and mounts are made and tacked into position. I didn't like the look of the ATV shocks mounted on the lower suspension arms, so I eventually ground off those mounts, and made new mounts on the upper arms. Made it look more like a TRUCK, and I stood them up with less angle, and that helped the look too.
Also extra bracing and welding on the center of the main "leaf".
Got the handle and linkage on, finished up some loose ends.
Photo of just the finished frame... MAN, that was a brain twister and a lot of little parts to cut and fit. The steering was murder, but came out perfect.
At this point, it's painted, and re-assembled, and done. It's about 3am friday night. Turns out I'm short one steering ball joint, and some DUFUS, that worked at the salvage place I bought some lower arms from, hammered the lower ball joints and I had to use some spare stock ones I had laying around (but sadly I didn't know this until AFTER they were painted). I actually have about 5 complete front ends, and just robbed another set of arms. I took the easy way out and just sent cleaner (less dented) arms to the painter, not the ones I mocked up on the front... 'DOH....
To finalize. I need to get new front lower arms painted and installed, install one steering ball joint, get the springs all powdercoated a fresh white color, and have the tie-rods chromed. And she's done.
Turns out, the car show got rained out... Ain't that just peachy. Well, the wagon was done enough to take down there for a show. and I hit my build time mark and that was kind of important to me.
Going to build a cool chrome roll bar with lights for it some time in the next week.
Not perfect, but fun, and perhaps it will inspire some of you, as your projects inspire me. :0)
Some suspension and linkage close-ups and detail work.
Thanks for reading. Hope you enjoy it.
wagon project
That's pretty cool and all, but you've got entirely way too much free time on your hands. DaveIf necessity is the Mother of Invention, I must be the Father of Desperation!

When we're done in Iraq we should then go directly to France...
I wish there was an alternative to war, but there is not...
The French are good for nothing but saying "we give up". It's sad that when you bail a country out twice, they still pull this crap.
That is a myth. This war won't help our economy, it will really raise gas prices, the only companies who benefit are the ones who provide to the military. The only war that really ever helped the economy was WW2.Originally posted by AntMarino13
There's only 1 good thing about going to war; getting our economy out of this slump
I support the war, but I don't think the short term effects on the economy will be good, in this case it may help the long term because of oil.
A major world war that lasts years can cause the country to begin to expand its production abilities. That will not happen here and has not happened since WWII. All that will happen here is to expend the amount of resources we've gathered up. The Gulf War did not get us out of a slump, it put us in one.
We bailed a lot of countries out during WWI and WWII. And in WWII the Russians helped bail us out, without them we probably would not have won that war to the degree that we did. Does that mean we have to play slave to the Russians? Does that mean every country in Europe has to bow to our wishes?
When you do a favor, its called a favor because you don't expect repayment. If we went in there and saved them and in return expected them to bow to our will for the next century, I don't call that a favor. No better than the Germans.
By the way does anyone else find it rather ironic that we're painting Saddam to be such an evil man because he has the same kinds of weapons that we've been producing and outfitting various military equipment with for decades?
To my knowledge the only country in the world to use weapons of mass destruction in a war is...you guessed it, us. Oh, and if we didn't use the Atomic Bomb in WWII, there's documentary evidence that the next option was outfitting our forces with gas weapons that would have killed even more innocents.
The use of warfare to solve world problems (especially non-critical ones such as this) just shows a remarkable lack of creativity. We go in there alone and we pay the price.
Ck, I appreciate your point of view on this thing, and I understand how you feel.
However what difference does it make if it is war time or not? Gassing 5000 Kurds, attacking Kawait, harboring, and aiding in terrorist activity...plus having the entire world tell him he no longer is allowed to posses these weapons. Are these reasons not enough to remove the man from power?
We are not going alone, we have the Aussies, Brits, Spain, and Polish going with us.The use of warfare to solve world problems (especially non-critical ones such as this) just shows a remarkable lack of creativity. We go in there alone and we pay the price.
It's the French. We would have had ten countries pass a new resolution, however France's promise to veto caused several of those countries to back out knowing full well it wouldn't matter what they voted, and why risk political persecution.
I am for getting this over with, and removing Saddam from power.
Godspeed to all of our Military Personnel in harms way. May our attack be decisive and successful, our mission accomplished and may the world be ridded of Saddam forever. I always favor the peaceful solution when possible but this guy has laughed in our faces for too long. Saddam and his sons still have 48 hours to leave Iraq and avoid the inevitable. Let's hope he is smart enough to do so. If not I pray for a very percise military exercise and a swift end to the conflict. God bless all of us.
since this is a football mb i will keep this as un-political as possible:
peace to all the innocents; f@ck EVERYBODY else

There is no comparison between those events and the current situation in Iraq...
As for us being the only ones:
or do you not consider the attempted extermination of a people NOT AT WITH WITH A COUNTRY using weapons of mass destruction???
not sure if I am right on this, but wasn't France the only country that actually said they would veto??? didn't the others just say they didn't support us unilaterally...


text: Meet Karel Blakely Director of Theatre and Resident Scenic Designer Prof. Blakely teaches courses in scene design, lighting design, and stagecraft. In addition to designing sets and lights for 50 plays at Le Moyne, he has also designed sets (and sometimes lights) for Simply New Theatre, Gifford Family Theatre, Cortland Repertory Theatre, Syracuse Stage, Syracuse University, Syracuse Shakespeare Festival, University of Maine, University of Hartford in Connecticut, Lake Erie College in Ohio, and at the University of Toronto in Canada (as a part of their medieval theatre festivals and cycle plays). In 1991 he joined a delegation of theatre educators traveling to Czechoslovakia and Russia. He has delivered numerous design presentations to the Association for Theatre in Higher Education and the United States Institute of Theatre Technology. Karel earned a BFA from Lake Erie College and an MFA in Design from Syracuse University. Meet Harjit K. Arora Professor of Economics Economics Professor Harjit Arora has long had a passion for financial planning. Today she regularly appears on television and in print media to discuss world financial markets and their impact on individual investors. Her greatest joy, though, stems from sharing her knowledge with the students she teaches. Dr. Arora hopes that, during their time at Le Moyne, these young men and women will learn to spend less and save more, acquire the skills necessary to remain competitive in an increasingly global economy, and reach out to others. Dr. Arora's philosophy of life is simple – work hard and remain optimistic. She earned a doctorate from the University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee, a master's degree from the University of Delhi and a bachelor's degree from Guru Nanak Dev University. Meet Donald C. Maldari, S.J. Professor of Theology The greatest advice that Donald Maldari has ever received is this – love your students and convey enthusiasm. As an assistant professor of religious studies at Le Moyne, he strives to do just that. It is his hope that the students he teaches will become acquainted with the Catholic faith tradition and that of other faith traditions, study and critique them and, as a result, develop an intellectual and affective knowledge of God. Prior to arriving at Le Moyne in 1999, Father Maldari's ministries included working in a prison in Mexico and teaching and providing spiritual direction in Haiti. He earned a doctorate and a master's degree at Katholieke Universiteit Leuven and a bachelor's degree at Georgetown University. Meet Christina B. Michaelson Associate Professor of Psychology and Interim Director of the Center for Peace and Global Studies While external circumstances may provide temporary peace, Christina Michaelson believes that true peace comes from within. As an associate professor of psychology, Dr. Michaelson is committed to helping her students learn, grow and develop. She believes that great teachers enter the classroom with interesting ways to engage students in learning, and that they possess the ability to help students reflect upon how they are being impacted by their education. Among the courses Dr. Michaelson teaches are Abnormal/Normal Psychology, Health Psychology, and Integrating Eastern and Western Approaches to Psychology. She earned a doctorate and a master's degree at Purdue University and a bachelor's degree from West Virginia University. Learn more about...

Exo Calves for longer-legged runners.
While I normally write much of iRunFar's content in the third person, this is one place where I'll throw my full voice in a vote of confidence. I've often raced in Salomon's Exo Calves and I did so long before iRunFar had a store. I've worn them for races as short as 15 minutes on a treadmill all the way up to 100 miles. Heck, I've worn the Exo Calf at media events put on by competing brands. When I only had one Exo Calf, I wore it without regard for how I looked. If you need a vote of confidence, there you have it! - Bryon of iRunFar.com
These Exo Calf Longs are taller runners. Measure to see if your lower leg - from the base of your heel to the interior flex point of your knee - is longer than 16 1/2". If so, the Exo Calf Long is for you. If your lower legs measure 16 1/2" or less, should pick up the standard Exo Calf.

Salomon Exo Calf Sizing
Sizing (from 1-7) as determined by measuring the circumference of your calf at its largest:
- 3/8" - 12 5/8" (29-31 cm)
- 12 5/8" - 13 3/4" (32-24 cm)
- 13 3/4" - 14 1/2 (35-36 cm)
- 14 1/2" - 15 3/8" (37-38 cm)
- 15 3/8" - 16 1/2" (39-41 cm)
- 16 1/2" - 17 3/8" (42-44 cm)
- 17 3/8" and larger (44+ cm)
Folks who measure 16 1/2" (42 cm) or shorter from heel to the interior flex point of the knee should choose the standard length "Exo Calf," while those with lower leg measurements over 16 1/2" (42 cm) should choose the "Exo Calf Long."

|Head Coach
|Previous College:
|Missouri Southern '05
Alese Woolard enters her fifth season at the helm of the MSSU women's soccer program after serving four years as an assistant coach on former head coach Trevor Wachsman's staff from 2006-2009.
The 2013 campaign saw the Lions beat both of the top finishers in the MIAA, 2-1 over then 11th ranked Central Missouri and 2-0 over second place Northeastern State. Woolard would add three more All-Conferece performers in Dana Wilhelm (Third Team), Tiffany Laughlin (Honorable Mention) and sophomore Karley Thomas (Honorable Mention).
In Woolard's third season, the Lions would get off to a slow start (0-5-1), but Southern would rebound winning three of their next four games defeating Fort Hays State 2-1, and MIAA newcomers Nebraska-Kearney 3-0 and Lindenwood 6-3. Finishing the year with a 5-10-3 overall record, the Lions would qualify for their second consecutive MIAA Post-Season tournament thanks to a 1-0 win in double overtime at Northwest Missouri. Four Lions would earn All-MIAA honors including senior forward Megan Stueve who would finish her career putting together one of the top individual seasons in MSSU soccer program history finishing the year with a MIAA league-leading 13 goals and 27 points, while ranking third in the conference with 59 shots, including 31 on goal. Senior midfielder Candis Clark, senior defender Cortney Sanders and junior forward Tiffany Laughlin were also named All-MIAA honorable mention.
The 2011 season would see the Lions start 0-7-1 before
they would tie a school record with five straight wins. In that
stretch Southern defeated Emporia State 2-1, conference rival
Southwest Baptsist 2-1 (2OT), Fort Hays State 2-1 (OT), Washburn
2-0, and Missouri Western 2-0. The win over Washburn marked
the second straight year that the Lions have won in Topeka against
the Ichabods. Southern would then win another four straight
as the Lions would make their first appearance in the MIAA
Post-Season tournament as the number three seed. The Lions would
face sixth-seeded SBU and win in the first round 1-0 and go on to
play second-seeded Truman in the semi-finals. The Lions would
use a goal in the final seconds to tie the Bulldogs at 1-1 to force
overtime and then defeat Truman 2-1 in OT and advance to play
Central Missouri for the tournament championship where they would
fall 3-1 but finish the season on a 9-3 stretch to finish with a
9-10-1 overall record.
In her first year at the helm in 2010, Woolard led the Lions to a 5-8-5 overall record and tied the school record for ties in the season with five as well as setting a school conference record with the five draws. The 2010 season also saw three streaks broken. The Lions scored four goals in a game for the first time with a 4-1 defeat of Emporia State since a 5-1 defeat of ESU on Oct. 2, 2008 and the 2010 season also saw the winless streak at Washburn University get snapped as the Lions won 2-0. Their last win in Topeka, Kan. was on Sept. 10, 2004, a 1-0 OT win. The final streak broken was a seven year winless draught in Maryville, Mo. as the Lions defeated the Northwest Missouri State Bearcats 2-1 on Oct. 2.
Prior to her coaching stint, Woolard enjoyed a solid two-year playing career under former head coach Trevor Wachsman. Woolard made 14 starts in the net for the Lions and held the opposition scoreless for the final 227 minutes of the 2004 campaign. She recorded 77 saves and three shutouts in her two years at Southern.
Woolard also was a four-year softball athlete and was a finalist for the 2004-05 MSSU Female Athlete of the Year.
In 2005 Woolard had one of the most productive seasons offensively in Lions history leading the team in batting average (.351), runs (40), hits (61), doubles (9), triples (3), home runs (9), RBIs (37), slugging percentage (.592), and on base percentage (.392). Her nine home runs in that season is still a single-season record for Southern.
Woolard also holds a NSCAA State and Regional Goalkeeping Diploma, as well as an NSCAA Advanced Regional diploma.
Woolard graduated from Southern in 2005 and holds a Master of Education in Workforce Development Education with an emphasis in Adult Education from the University of Arkansas.

The Most Bizarro Moments of M.O.D.O.K.
Oh, MODOK. You are, hands down, one of the weirdest supervillains ever to grace a comics page, mostly because you are a giant, creepy floating head whose name means "Mental Organism Designed Only for Killing." We're hot off of MODOK week at Marvel, which saw the launch of "Dark Reign: MODOK" and "MODOK's 11" digital comics, and best of all, a new "What The?!" video where MODOK is a pirate voiced by Brian Michael Bendis. In honor of his headliness, Chris Sims of the Invincible Super-Blog put together a highlight reel of the best and most bizarre MODOK moments, including the time a squirrel made him scream like a little girl.

MODOK once turned all of the Avengers — including Wolverine — into MODOKs, complete with their own hoverchairs. This is unquestionably the greatest comic book of the modern age.
It's never funny when someone dies, even if it's a supervillain. When they have to get a second table at the morgue to support your giant head, well… okay, that's pretty funny.
Unsurprisingly, MODOK is a popular subject for commissioned pieces, like this one by Bob McLeod, which improves MODOK in the only way possible: by making him Barbarian King of Mars.
With recruitment posters like this, is it any wonder that there are always plenty of beekeeper/scientists for Captain America to smack around?
Although to be fair, he has had a few notable romances, first with the marriage-minded "Miss MODOK," who was on the rebound from the Hulk (yes, really)….
…and then with MODAM (the Mental Organism Designed for Aggressive Maneuvers), who… well, the difficulties here should be obvious.
And then there were… other complications.
Ladies and gentlemen, we give you Colonel Tom Parker's worst nightmare: A squadron of revenge-crazed telepathic flying Elvii.
But through it all, he keeps on smiling! At least, he does in this sketch by Marvel Adventures Avengers writer Jeff Parker, showing the Happiest MODOK Ever.

I really wanted to play a few holes out in the open the first round, so what I decided to do is play the short pins/pads on 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12. Then we play 17 long up by #1 (par 4). #18 would then be the drive from the parking lot across the road. Number 18 would be super long from the tower all the way down to old open 14 pin. It'll be a par 5. So 19 holes, par 60.
Second Round---17 short, 18 short, out.
Can we do this comfortably enough?

Same Universe, Different Lenses: Science, Ethics, and Religion in Dialogue
This is a transcript of an interview given by Dr. Jennifer Wiseman at The Faith Angle Forum Conference on Religion, Politics, & Public Life on November 5, 2013.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
This is a transcript of an interview given by Dr. Jennifer Wiseman at The Faith Angle Forum Conference on Religion, Politics, & Public Life on November 5, 2013.
Philosopher Robert Bishop explores the Biblical doctrine of creation, which he describes as "perhaps one of the most helpful pieces of theology for thinking about science", and describes why the doctrine needs to be recovered from narrower, contemporary interpretations of creation.
Biologist and BioLogos Senior Fellow Denis Venema examines the interaction between RTB literature and several lines of genetics-based evidence for common ancestry. In so doing, he also addresses the scientific robustness and reliability of the RTB model.
The Bible is no more a book dropped out of the sky than Jesus is some superman who flew down from heaven. Instead, just as Jesus is "God incarnate," both divine and human, the Bible is a book that speaks God's word and reflects the thoughts, ideas, and worldviews of the human authors.
NASA astronomer Jennifer Wiseman asserts that studying creation can show us the nature of God; science can inform us of what we need to do as stewards of God's creation; understanding the natural world gives us a deeper knowledge of Jesus Christ; and science can give us a better understanding of ourselves. This essay was presented at the November 2009 Theology of Celebration Workshop.

NBCSports.com's 2014 College Basketball All-Americans
Mar 10, 2014, 7:30 AM EDT
Doug McDermott, Creighton (26.5 ppg, 7.2 rpg, 44.7% 3PT): Dougie McBuckets was considered by most to be the consensus National Player of the Year entering the final weekend of the regular season. Then he went out on his Senior Night and scored a career-high 45 points, giving him 3,000 for his career while passing Oscar Robertson and Hersey Hawkins on college basketball's career scoring list. If it wasn't a consensus then, it should be now.
Sean Kilpatrick, Cincinnati (20.9 ppg, 4.3 rpg): The Bearcats are a Final Four contender because they are an elite team on the defensive end of the floor. Offensively, however, they aren't all that good, and that's after you factor in that Sean Kilpatrick is having a terrific season. His efficiency numbers aren't terribly different from McDermott's, but instead of playing in the nation's most efficient offense, he's playing in the nation's 101st most efficient offense.
Russ Smith, Louisville (17.5 ppg, 4.8 apg, 3.5 rpg, 2.0 spg, 39.4% 3PT): The key to Louisville's season has been Smith's ability to embrace being a point guard isn't of simply being Russdiculous. It should tell you something that, on his Senior Night and just three days after exploding for 22 second half points and six threes in eight minutes in a come-from-behind win at SMU, Smith finished with 13 assists and just two shots from the floor.
RELATED: Player of the Year | Coach of the Year | Freshman of the Year
Jabari Parker, Duke (19.2 ppg, 9.0 rpg): Parker's midseason slump is a distant memory at this point, as he's figured out how to play as Duke's best defensive rebounder and most important weapon offensively. Being the cornerstone offensively for one of the nation's top two offenses is impressive.
Shabazz Napier, UConn (17.8 ppg, 6.0 rpg, 5.2 apg, 1.8 spg, 40.7% 3PT): Where would UConn be without Shabazz Napier? And I'm not just talking about the fact that he's their go-to guy offensively, their best on-ball defender and their leading rebounder despite standing all of 6-foot-1. What about all the game-winning, clutch baskets that he's scored this season? Would UConn still be a tournament team without win over Florida, Indiana, Memphis and Boston College?
- Kyle Anderson, UCLA (14.9 ppg, 8.6 rpg, 6.7 apg, 48.0% 3PT): Slo-mo just flat-out produces. He's the engine that's carried UCLA's high-powered offense this season.
- Nick Johnson, Arizona (16.1 ppg, 4.0 rpg): Johnson has slumped a bit down the stretch of the season, but he's the best perimeter defender and the most dangerous scorer in the half court for a top five team.
- Bryce Cotton, Providence (21.7 ppg, 5.9 apg): Cotton's had a truly unbelievable season, carrying an injury-riddled Providence team to within a strong Big East tournament of an at-large bid. He's averaging 40.1 minutes this season.
- Cleanthony Early, Wichita State (16.0 ppg, 5.9 rpg): The leading scorer for the undefeated Shockers, Early is WSU's best athlete and their toughest matchup: an athletic, 6-foot-8 four-man with three-point range.
- Andrew Wiggins, Kansas (16.8 ppg, 5.9 rpg, 1.2 spg): For all the criticism that Wiggins has gotten this season, he finished the year as the leading scorer, third-leading rebounder and best defender on a top five team and national title that won the nation's toughest conference outright. Not bad.
MORE: Florida, Wichita State are still sitting atop NBCSports.com's Top 25
- T.J. Warren, N.C. State (24.2 ppg, 6.9 rpg): With all due respect to Doug McDermott, I'm not sure there is a better pure scorer in the country than Warren.
- DeAndre Kane, Iowa State (17.1 ppg, 6.7 rpg, 5.9 apg): As impressive as Kane's numbers are, imagine if he didn't have to deal with a sprained ankle at the start of league play.
- Nik Stauskas, Michigan (17.4 ppg, 3.4 apg, 3.3 rpg, 45.8% 3PT): The development of Stauskas into a playmaker that John Beilein can run his offense through is the reason the Wolverines are Big Ten champs.
- Cameron Bairstow, New Mexico (20.3 ppg, 7.2 rpg): Bairstow is the most improved player in the country are arguably the nation's best low-post scorer.
- Melvin Ejim, Iowa State (18.2 ppg, 8.6 rpg): Ejim was voted by the coaches as the Big 12's player of the year, over two other all-americans, Joel Embiid, Juwan State, Marcus Smart and a handful of other stars.
- g8trb8 - Mar 10, 2014 at 8:05 AM
Number 1 team in the country is so balanced they don't even get a third teamer…that's actually not a bad thing…
- florida727 - Mar 10, 2014 at 12:34 PM
Not that any Florida player is shoe-in for the NBA, but an interesting debate is always who's going to make a great pro? Guys like McDermott or Parker are probably locks to have solid if not outright great NBA careers. I'd like to know who else projects out to being a play-for-pay guy… and why.
I wonder if Patrick Young has what it takes to make it at the next level.
- g8trb8 - Mar 10, 2014 at 8:07 AM
The number 1 team in the country can't get a third teamer on the list? Guess it's better to have no superstars, and just a solid group of overachievers.

Homeowners Associations and Water Use
Reducing a homeowner association's water use is an effective way to contain escalating expenses and association fees. A powerful tool to help with this is the association's water bill.
Start by finding out who handles the water bill. It is important to understand that the person who receives and pays the water bill may not have anything to do with the overall maintenance of the property. In many cases, landscape and pool maintenance contractors are unaware of the amount of water and the cost of water being used on their customer's properties.
In order to ensure that water is being used wisely, it is important to designate a responsible person to review the water bills.
When the designated person reviews the water bill on a regular basis, patterns of water use become apparent and it is easier to identify jumps in water use, which could be an indication of any of a number of issues. This person can also work with the landscape contractors to convey water use information to them so they can do a good job maintaining the landscape. If you want the biggest bang for your buck, focus on the landscape, which is typically the biggest user of water.
Scottsdale has rebates to help customers reduce their interior and landscape water use. Also, read Scottsdale's Homeowner Association Q & A to find ways to use water most efficiently, and visit the Arizona Municipal Water Users Association's HOA website to pick up more valuable water saving information.

Packer, bored to the point of near inhumanity, never seems to worry about them, and so, neither do we. He is slightly more concerned about the investment he made in foreign currency plummeting.
So, rather than a thriller, Cosmopolis plays more like a wispy film of ideas, with conversations in the limo about society, wealth and humanity dominating most of the screen time. Almost all of these feel detached and meticulously unfocused. Characters toss around ideas or questions, which their conversation partner then promptly ignores or responds to with a non-sequitur. It's often reminiscent of work by playwright/screenwriter Harold Pinter, but never quite as fun, nor nearly as humorous as it should be.

DFW's got DeLillo trumped in every way. Maybe I should just call it a day and ask what DeLillo books I should read?

Exactly — the blurb you posted could pass as a review of the book.
Most of the actors deliver their lines with a mannered lack of expression reminiscent of "Antiviral" (I guess this is what the future is like). Packer spends a day from morning until night trying to get across town in the car in order to visit his favorite barber. In the course of the day he takes meetings in the car for unrelenting serial talkathons on subjects that revolve around money and the global economy: "What does it mean to spend money? A dollar? A million?" The dialogue is rife with rhetorical questions.

While the film itself, on its surface, is indeed about a stretch limo slowly progressing across a very busy New York City, full of protests and of course plenty of traffic, it's oddly far too static. It moves along disjointedly, complete with awkward vignette moments rather than flowing scenes with segues, and none of it progresses Pattinson's character in any way. Instead, we continue to learn more about how hollow and absentminded this guy is, not helped much by Pattinson's equally wooden and slipshod performance.
David Cronenberg's adaptation of Don DeLillo's postmodern, Ulysses-like novel Cosmopolis plays like a profoundly perverse, darkly comic successor to Videodrome. Taking on another "unfilmable" novel, Cronenberg again accomplishes something remarkable: hewing closely to the source material in letter and spirit, yet still stamping it as a distinctly Cronenbergian endeavor, albeit one lacking much in the way of his trademark body horror (with one notable, bloody exception). Diamond-hard and dazzlingly brilliant, Cosmopolis alternates between mannered repression and cold frenzy, one of the ways in which it most closely resembles Cronenberg's prior A Dangerous Method.

The story does gather momentum toward the end, just when I was thinking my patience with the story was going to run out.

En español | The time: Approximately 10 p.m. on Jan. 26, 1979.
The place: A townhouse at 13 West 54th St. in New York.
The people: Nelson Rockefeller, the 70-year-old former vice president of the United States, and Megan Marshack, his 25-year-old aide (and rumored mistress).
The events: Rockefeller died of a heart attack while with Marshack, putting the young woman in an ethical quagmire: Should she slip away, leaving Rockefeller to be discovered later with his reputation intact? Or should she dial 911 in a bid to save him — and air their dirty laundry?
Marshack did the right thing, more or less, calling a reporter who then summoned an ambulance. The resulting scandal brought an intriguing health story out into the open: Men — and women — can have a heart attack during sex.
But how often does that happen? Very infrequently, statistics show: Despite all the publicity surrounding Rockefeller's death, the chance of a heart attack during sex is in fact negligible. According to a report done recently in Belgium, you're more likely to drop dead after drinking a cup of coffee than you are from a romp between the sheets.
The Belgian researchers reviewed 36 studies that focused on people's activities shortly before heart attacks. More than half (56 percent) had been engaged in no particular activity. Here's what the rest (44 percent) were doing: getting angry in traffic (7.4 percent), exercising strenuously (6.2), drinking alcohol or coffee (5.0), breathing heavily polluted air (4.8), suffering emotional distress (3.9), seething with non-traffic anger (3.1), eating a heavy meal (2.7), experiencing sudden joy (2.4), having sex (2.2), using cocaine (0.9), using marijuana (0.8). (These figures control for the frequency of the activities: Cocaine is a major heart attack trigger, but few people use it, so it appears near the bottom of the list.)
