The Boys Are Thirsty in Atlanta and There's Beer In TexarkanaWritten by on August 1, 2007 Contributors: Wes Allison, Brad Ocock On the 30th Anniversary of Smokey and the Bandit, Year One and Burt Reynolds Team Up to Build a Tribute to the Most Famous Movie Car of All Time. And You Can Buy One.
I'll need a new car. I gotta have a new car to block for the truck, ya know. Speedy car. Speedier than that."
As Little Enos Burdette peeled off the hundreds, the world was one scene away from first sight of the most iconic vehicle in movie and pop culture history. When Burt Reynolds as the Bandit wheeled his black and gold '77 Pontiac Trans Am out of the big rig in Cledus Snow's driveway, the car world would never be the same. Over the next two hours we witnessed the glory of a 6.6L automatic T/A, big gold screamin' chicken and all, tearing it up from Atlanta to Texarkana and back with the goal of scoring 400 cases of Coors beer in 28 hours, picking up chicks, jumping bridges, and making Smokey look stupid in the process. It was movie magic.
Regardless of how hilarious Jackie Gleason, Burt Reynolds, and Jerry Reed were, and how smoking cute Sally Field was, the star of the movie was the car. A year off of Pontiac's 50th Anniversary package of black paint with gold stripes and hood bird, Pontiac made that treatment the SE option in '77, and after the movie came out everyone, and we mean everyone, wanted a Trans Am. Sales jumped by 20,000 units for a total of 68,744 in '77. Your author still remembers sitting behind the wheel of one in the dealership at the tender age of 12, begging dad to buy it. We got a big Buick four-door instead.
For those of us who watched the original Smokey and the Bandit (parts II and III sucked; don't bother) in the theater or drive-in, it's shocking and depressing to realize that the movie is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year and Burt Reynolds is 70 years old. This anniversary coincides nicely, however, with the growing popularity of second-generation F-bodies, particularly Trans Ams. Year One has noticed a marked increase in demand for second-gen parts and accessories, and the company's main man Kevin King always had a thing for the boogie-fever Trans Ams, so he decided to build one with '70s kitsch but modern Pro Touring sensibilities.
As bench racing sessions about new projects so often go, this one snowballed, and pretty soon they had Burt Reynolds on the phone. A deal was struck where Burt would lend his name and support to a limited run of custom Burt Reynolds Edition Trans Ams built by Year One, and the project got underway. The plan is to build somewhere between 10 and 50 cars and sell them to whoever wants one. There are three stages of seriousness: BAN1, BAN2, and BAN3, with 1 the mildest and 3 the wildest. All levels will look pretty much the same, with subtle body mods, bitchin' 18-inch billet snowflake wheels, special interior appointments and logos, and tastefully demure versions of the original car's garish, in-your-face decals and stripes. And yes, a CB radio with antenna is an option! The differences among BANs 1 through 3 are under the skin.
The car you see here is the very first one finished, a BAN1. Upgrades include tubular front upper control arms, big Baer brakes, a stock leaf-spring rear suspension locating a 3.42-geared 10-bolt, and a 450hp Pontiac 455 backed by a Tremec five-speed. BAN2 will be one notch nastier, with a four-point roll bar, an aftermarket front subframe, coilovers, bigger brakes, more gear, rear minitubs to hold 18x11 wheels and 335/35ZR18 tires (BAN1 has 18x9s with 275s), and two engine options: a Butler Performance-built 550hp Pontiac or a 550hp GM LS7 crate engine. Finally, BAN3 has all that plus a 700hp Butler 496 Pontiac (or a hotter version of the LS7), a road-race-style four-link rear suspension, six-piston calipers with 14-inch rotors, and a six-point bar. You can get an overdrive automatic in the BAN1 and BAN2 cars, but BAN3 is for macho men and can be had only with a five-speed.
The body mods done to car number one are significant but subtle enough that you either need to be a real Trans Am buff or have a stock one nearby to compare it to. The most aggressive is flush-mounted front and rear glass, which required Year One to have a brand-new, curved rear window created. It's real glass, not Lexan, and nowhere near cheap. The stock urethane front and rear fasciae that are so well known for warping and cracking have been redesigned and cast in fiberglass, with LED taillights in the back and relocated driving lights in the front. Modern projector headlights from a Chevy truck have also been used, which required significant surgery to the headlight buckets. Year One is first and foremost a restoration and performance parts company, so most of these parts (except maybe the rear window) will soon be in its catalog. (Year One also has stock-configuration fiberglass front and rear replacement fasciae.) The front and rear spoilers and wheel flares are mandatory for the proper look, but these have been flush-fit to the body to make them cleaner. Again, you wouldn't be able to tell unless you parked this car next to a stocker (which we did-check out the photos).
We can't tell you how much the cars are going to cost. As we write this the first car is barely finished, so even Year One doesn't know how much it's put in. Forced to guess, we'd say a BAN1 will be pretty close to six figures and a BAN3 will push 200K. But that's the price of entry with a complete turnkey, Pro Touring ride these days. You could always build your own, which we encourage and hope to see flooding our inbox soon.
|The Bandit Run
|As we go to press the stars are aligning on all things Bandit, and the first Bandit Run is about to happen. A group of Trans Am fanatics will be driving their Bandit cars from Texarkana to Year One's Atlanta facility immediately preceding the Year One Experience at Road Atlanta. HOT ROD will be there, so check back next month for the insanity involved. We hear there will even be a big rig painted like the Snowman's 18-wheeler on the route. Can't wait.

The interior of BAN1 is comfy, with custom-upholstered Cerullo buckets and a stereo and navigation system in the stock center console. Dig the stock gold, engine-turned dash with Auto Meter Sport Comp II gauges. The steering wheel looks stock but is actually cut out of a flat piece of billet aluminum and powdercoated gold. Groovy.Tim Phillips provided his restored '77 SE Trans Am, complete with CB option, for a comparison of new versus original. Year One has stock replacement front fasciae made of fiberglass, but the Bandit cars use a mild custom version that does away with the Pontiac badge, relocates the driving lights, and adds modern projector headlights.The stock snowflake wheels are timeless but can't compare to the completely cool billet wheels on the Burt cars.They're 18-inchers, 18x9s on BAN1 and wider on the more serious cars. You can also compare the subtle changes to the spoilers, fender flares, and heat extractors.By the time you read this, the first version of BAN3 will be finished and have run hard at the Year One Experience at Road Atlanta.Year One is throwing the full Pro Touring catalog at the BAN3 cars, including an aftermarket front clip with welded-on subframe connectors and monster brakes. An LS7 crate motor with a cam and headers makes about 600 hp. The car should be brutal, but will still have all the creature comforts and sound deadeners.
Butler Performance (www.butlerperformance.com) builds the Pontiac crate motors for the BAN cars. You can get a 461with a stock block, or a 505-incher with an aluminum Indian Adventures/Butler block, with EFI (shown) or a carb. This one is the all-aluminum version that made 690 hp.Most of the body parts created for the Burt Reynolds cars should end up in the Year One Firebird catalog, including the flush-fit flares.

The 5 Most Badass (And Possibly Insane) Athletes Of All-Time
You would think that pro athletes would, above all others, be secure in their manliness and have nothing left to prove.
But a select few decided to take it a step further. And then another step, and another, until they were in a full out sprint towards the ninth level of hell to punch the Devil in the throat and steal his bike.
#5. Jack Johnson: Boxer, Bull Fighter, Pimp
Jack Johnson was the first black heavyweight champion, but also paved the road for future athletes in the ways of trash talking, flashy bling and openly banging white women in an era when that could get you lynched. The man was everything Muhammad Ali would be...
The Badassery:
...except he was doing it at the turn of the century. We weren't kidding about the lynching thing--this was 39 years before Jackie Robinson and just a generation removed from his father being born a slave.
After he became champion, the media openly pined for a "Great White Hope" to come forward and beat him, and set the racial hierarchy back to its natural order. Former undefeated champion James J. Jeffries came out of retirement to fight Johnson, satisfying both the white masses and fans of alliteration.
Jack Johnson v. Jim J. Jeffries: Jaws will be justifiably jostled!
In the ensuing "Fight of the Century," Johnson forced Jeffries corner to throw in the towel in the 15th round to avoid a complete knockout and post-fight cuckold session (as was the custom of the time).
Outside of the ring, Johnson's hobbies included racing flashy sports cars, traveling the world and generally making the Dos Equis guy look boring. He rocked gold teeth and a gold handled pimp cane while sipping champagne and taking his pet leopard for walks.
Pretty much this, but with bigger balls.
He spent time as a jazz musician, Chicago nightclub owner, stage actor, dock worker, coral fisher, bullfighter, volunteer secret agent in World War I for the U.S. Government (and possibly also for the Kaiser) and as a beer salesman. He was a legendary eater and drinker (and spent a night in Russia downing vodka shot-for-shot with Rasputin) and had the onions to deliver a speech on sportsmanship, fair play and the golden rule to the motherfucking KKK.
It should be noted that nothing in the previous paragraph was a joke. All that shit really happened. He was a goddamned bull fighter, people!
All he had to do to beat the bull was to time the jab right.
Johnson's wang had an equally impressive life. Among those Johnson was romantically linked to were Moulin Rouge star Mistinguette, German spy Mata Hari, sex symbols Lupe Velez and Mae West. Why are there not high schools named after this man?
Most Badass Act:
In a dick move worthy of the bearded EPA guy from Ghostbusters, authorities convicted Johnson of violating the Mann Act by "transporting women across state lines for immoral purposes" in 1913--despite the fact that the incidents in question took place before the Mann Act was passed, the woman in question was his future wife and he was goddamn Jack Johnson.
Fuck, he's awesome.
While in prison, he eschewed the non-macho act of forced sodomy for the very macho acts of smoking cigars, drinking and even inventing and patenting a new type of wrench. Think about that the next time you're putting together your fruity little IKEA bookshelf. The wrench in your hand may very well have been invented by Jack Johnson ... in prison. How about you fill that shelf with some books about how to grow a pair, Nancy?
#4. John Brisker: the ABA's All-Time Leader in Crazy
Playing in the ABA in the 70s with its hard-partying, quick to throw a punch, funktastic atmosphere is a good way to get your foot in the door in terms of cool. But to move beyond cool into badass, one would have to go above and beyond. That brings us to John Brisker.
What does John Brisker in a sombrero and pistols have to do with Pittsburgh or Condors?
Answer: Crazy.
The Badassery:
Even in a league filled with cocaine-fueled fist fights, Brisker's transgressions stood out, so much so that the head coach of the Dallas Chapparalls put up $500 as a bounty on Brisker.
It wasn't just opposing teams that fell victim to Brisker's madness. The man was such a lunatic that his own team had to hire some muscle in an attempt to control him. During practices, coach Dick Tinkham (great name) brought in an ex-football player whose sole job was to flatten Brisker the first time he got out of line. When Brisker proved to be too tough, the football player declared that he was going to the locker room to get his gun. Brisker was fine with that, since that gave him time to go to his locker and get his gun. Tinkham decided to cancel practice for the day.
How do such large testicles fit in such unsettlingly short shorts?
Being the top authority figure of the ABA did not make you immune to Brisker's wrath either. In 1971, immediately after the All-Star game, Brisker walked up to league commissioner Jack Dolph and demanded his All-Star bonus right then and there. Figuring an intact clavicle was worth the $300, Dolph paid Brisker cash out of his own wallet. Can you imagine Ron Artest trying to publicly shake down David Stern today? Cool, now imagine Kobe Bryant playing in the ABA and being punched right in the face by John Brisker because, fuck Kobe Bryant.
This fucking guy...
Most Badass Act:
Straight up fucking vanishing. In 1978, Brisker went to Uganda, either as a mercenary, guest of Idi Amin, or both. After April of that year, he was never heard from again. Speculation is that he was executed by a firing squad, quite possibly the most manly of all deaths this side of death by excessive pussy getting. Another theory (ours) is that he survived the firing squad, took on an alias and adapted his diaries into the screenplay for Shaft in Africa.
#3. Jack Youngblood Laughs at Guns and Broken Bones Alike
When you're born with a name like Jack Youngblood, you're actually required by federal law to spend your life blazing a path of badassery the likes of which only other people named Jack Youngblood could hope to follow.
Pictured: A sketch of the very first Jack Youngblood. The badass bar was set pretty high.
It's not a question of if, just a question of how. The Jack Youngblood in question here chose to spread his gospel of badassery on the football field; playing 201 consecutive games as an NFL defensive lineman for the Los Angeles Rams for 14 years. By the way, we swear on all that is holy if a single commenter tells us we "fail" because the Rams play in St. Louis, we will send Youngblood himself to end you.
Best believe you don't want Youngblood on your ass.
Holy shit.
The Badassery:
Just ask the drunken cowboy who pointed a .44 revolver at Youngblood's eye and then pulled the trigger. Fortunately for Youngblood, and most unfortunately for the drunken aggressor, the gun failed to go off. Youngblood proceeded to take the gun away, knock the man out and walk away. We assume he then casually dropped a cigarette on a trail of gasoline and never bothered to look back at the ensuing explosion.
Most Badass Act:
How can having a gun to your eye not be the most badass moment in your life? For starters, play a Super Bowl with a goddamn broken leg. In the 1979 divisional playoffs against Dallas, Jack Youngblood was knocked sideways by a guard and had his fibula "snapped like a pencil."
While most players would accept that their season was over and head towards an early retirement of weekly knee replacement surgery and welfare level pension checks, Youngblood threw on a plastic cast and played in the NFC Championship game the next week. And then again a week later in the Super Bowl. Years later, Youngblood would say, "Look, it felt like a bunch of knives being stabbed into your leg. But I wasn't going to do more damage to a broken leg." Can't argue with that logic!
Seriously, don't argue.
But he wasn't done. A week later he suited up again in the Pro Bowl--a meaningless exhibition annually skipped by dozens of players. Said Youngblood, "You don't miss any of those opportunities." He then added "Brett Favre is a total pussy." Just joking, he didn't say that. But if you asked him today, he probably would.

10 Common Words You Had No Idea Were Onomatopoeias
#5. Ping-Pong
What it means:
Table tennis. Just like regular tennis, but for the lazy and/or drunk.
What the hell is it supposed to sound like?
A hollow ball hitting parchment paddles.
Which is weird, as we hear at least one smash and a scream whenever we play.
Ping-Pong originated in Victorian England in the late 1800s, but it wasn't called Ping-Pong back then. It was called table tennis or lawn tennis, and it was played almost exclusively as a parlor game by people rich enough to know what a parlor is. The paddles weren't solid blocks of wood, like today; they were made of parchment stretched across frames, kind of like mini drums. Because various types of parchment and frame shapes lent each paddle a different sound, several onomatopoeias sprouted up: "Whiff-waff," "pom-pom," "pim-pam," and of course "ping-pong." Ping-Pong -- along with table tennis -- became the preferred name for the sport, presumably once people grew tired of the spontaneous and impromptu beatings that occurred every time the phrase "Fancy a round of pim-pam?" was spoken aloud.
#4. Poop
What it means:
To defecate.
What the hell is it supposed to sound like?
The sound of a horn. Get all of your "butt trumpet" jokes out of the way now, people.
We're, ah ... actually drawing a blank here. Shit. Hey, there we go!
In the late 14th century, people began using the word "poop" to mimic the sound of a horn being played. In 1721, after many years of intense, studious investigation, humanity discovered that when a person farts, it kind of sounds like a toot on some varieties of horn, maybe. In dire need of fart synonyms, "poop" was appropriated to refer to flatulence. In 1744 -- only 23 years later -- "poop" expanded into the lucrative shit-meaning business, and history was made.
Also France declared war on Britain, but no, poop was where it was at.
One more time, for posterity: Poop.
#3. Buffoon
What it means:
A stupid person; what a disappointed grandfather would call his Internet comedian grandson. Theoretically.
What the hell is it supposed to sound like?
A person puffing out his cheeks.
Buffoon started out as a type of dance in 1540. In 1580, it came to describe the clown -- the jerk, the asshole, the idiot, the ... comedian -- who typically did the dance. The word originally comes from the Italian "buffare," which is supposed to represent the sound of someone puffing out their cheeks. This was a comic gesture at the time, because it made the person doing it look foolish.
Otherwise we couldn't tell whether they were supposed to look ridiculous or not.
Thank God comedy has evolved so much since then, right? We've really turned it into an art form, with vast and sophisticated audiences ready to heap their praise only on the most noble of wordsmiths, who educate even as they entertain.
#2. Owl
What it means:
A nocturnal bird. It eats mice, it doesn't have a neck, its head does that creepy Exorcist swivel thing? You know, it's like an ... it's like an owl, man. Dang. Describing things in abstract is hard.
What the hell is it supposed to sound like?
This is another case of a word slowly losing its imitative origins through shortening and modernization. "Owl" originally comes from the Pre-Germanic word "uwwa," which was indeed pretty close to an owl's cry.
It also sounds like it's slightly hungover, and we do claim to be experts in this field.
Cool. We're on board. Count us in.
But then some Old English asshole came along and added a suffix for no good reason, giving us the word "uwwalon," because he just had to show everybody how much more suave and articulate his bird noises were. Through abbreviation and phonetic spelling, we eventually wound up with the modern "owl," which doesn't sound like an owl at all.
It sounds like a dying giraffe. No, no, remember: Experts.
If you do spot a nocturnal predator and it says "Owl, owl, owl," just turn and run as fast as you can. That is a criminal with poor impersonation skills trying to fool you.
#1. Marauder
What it means:
A person who roams around searching for things to raid and steal. Those guys from Mad Max and your stoner roommate spring immediately to mind.
What the hell is it supposed to sound like?
After it has been hit by a brick, fallen off a fence and been shanghaied into the navy.
"Marauder" didn't mean "roving plunderer" until sometime in the early 1700s. Originally, it was the dialectal French word "maraud," which was intended to mimic the sound of a cat -- more specifically, a horny tomcat. So it does make a kind of sense that the word became synonymous with somebody out late at night, looking for trouble. For a long time, "maraud" was only the French word for "prowler," but some claim it entered international parlance during the Thirty Years' War, when it gained popularity as a pun on the imperialist general Count Marode's name. His men -- known as the Marode Brothers -- were so ruthless, cowardly and vile that they may as well have been criminals, and so came to be referred to as marauders.
Well, it's kind of funny, but surely "Murdering Kill Squad" would have warned people a little better.
They were awful and vicious, you see, so there was some ironic appeal to naming them essentially "the kittens." It's like calling a big man "tiny" or, more accurately, it's like calling "rapist murdering war criminals" a bunch of "sexy cats."

I've "inherited" an iPhone 3G from a friend who upgraded to iPhone 4. He had complined about the slowness of iOS 4. Although I personally have no problems with it, I was wondering if iOS 4.2 offers any noticeable performance improvement. Does iOS 4.2 improve performance on the iPhone 3G?
From the iLounge article
It actually seems faster than 4.1 to me on my 3G.
My iPhone 3G has become slower in some occasions with iOS 4.2 especially when pasting an address from Mail to Maps.
I have an iPhone 3G that I use for testing. 4.2.1 seems insanely slow on it, but maybe that's just because I've gotten so used to the speed of the 3GS and iPhone 4 over the past two years and forget what the "normal" speed of a 3G should feel like.
IOS4.2.1 is better than 4.1 for sure!!! I did not use yet the 3gs nor the iphone4, and got through every iOS "upgrade" available starting 3.1.3 , 4.0 , 4.0.1, 4.1 and probably yhe last one for the 3G 4.2.1 ! almost as fast as the 3.1.3 ,and with all the advantages of the 4.x ( folders, ibooks, faster maps, faster jawa, geo-tagging new caracters for notes, easier copy paste ((i think...)), etc. deffinatley a good option to upgrade! you will not be sorry!!!
My wife's 3GS which has 3.1.3 runs much faster than my 3GS with 4.3.5(BL1). However I cannot backup her unit in newly purchased MacBook Pro with Lion, but I can backup mine. I see it as Apple's way to force us to upgrade to their latest iOS even if that means to sacrifice performance. I don't like that at all, therefore I chose to backup 3.1.3 to a WinXP machine.

It's common knowledge that bodybuilders need rest after a workout to rebuild muscle. Everyone advises localized rest. That is, you should give a particular muscle at least 48 hours of rest before working that muscle out again. A lesser touched upon subject is holistic rest. This is resting of the entire body - not doing anything for an entire day. What are the endocrinological benefits of holistic rest over localized rest, if any?

A recent article on Juggernaut Training Systems discussing fatigue sheds some light on the subject.
Endocrine changes:
Corrective action:
The core problem here is accumulating fatigue. You can arrange your training so that fatigue doesn't accumulate past a certain point; however, most inexperienced trainees don't know enough about themselves to know how to adjust their training. This is a big reason why beginner programs recommend whole body rest between training sessions.
The article doesn't differentiate between localized rest and whole body rest, and at some level your body doesn't either. The biggest danger with localized rest is that some muscle groups are difficult to avoid. For example, it is easy to overuse your triceps and biceps as you work your upper back, shoulders, and chest. It can be done, but you do have to be smart about it. Pay attention to your body, and if your muscles just don't want to work right, those muscles may very well be over fatigued.
I don't know if you will be able to find a definitive answer to your question, as is the case with many questions in the physical fitness world. There are many outside factors that come into play(mental and environmental stresses that we have no control over just to name a couple) that make it really hard to isolate the impact of just one factor such as rest.
My biggest piece of advice would be to just experiment around with the amount of rest days you take, but spend an appreciable amount of time during each phase of the experiment. Also not that what may be optimal in one phase of your life may not be optimal in another phase(If you just start a new, stressful job, you may have to incorporate additional rest days, for instance).
Probably the most specific answer to your the part of your question pertaining to the endocrine system.
The reason you give your muscles that 48 hour rest period is to ensure it has enough time to repair the micro-tears that strength training creates. I know that a lot of people swear by groupings for alternating days (back/biceps Monday, Chest/triceps Tuesday, etc.); however, I find that it is much easier to alternate hemispheres of your body (Upper body on Monday, lower on Tuesday). The reason for this is because: even if you have perfect lifting form, you still use varying muscles as support/stabilizing musculature for lifts. Example, try using a French bar for standing, unsupported bicep curls and NOT letting your pec muscles activate. While you are not actively using the muscles, if your goal is to give your body the best total rest it can have, you should try to not use them as much as possible. Yes, some leg exercises require upper bod stabilizers. However, you use them far less than if you try to split the upper body into several alternating day exercises.
There is a very important aspect of your question. To answer it we must consider what happens during exercise.
When exercising a muscle, its energy supplies become depleted, it becomes fatigued and creates by-products such as lactic acid which go into the blood stream. All of these changes stress the body, in response to which the adrenal glands produce cortisol. Despite common belief, and the fact that it is a steroid, cortisol is a catabolic hormone; it suppresses protein metabolism.
How does this then relate to rest periods?
When doing an upper body/lower body regime on alternating days, each individual muscle will get a full 48h of rest. Which is adequate for regenerating the energy supplies within the muscle. However, the body will still be in stress from the previous workout, with increased blood levels of cortisol. By maintaining this sort of protocol, you eventually risk becoming overtrained (depending on training intensity and volume).
However, when you have a full day rest between two trainings, the levels of cortisol and other stress hormones falls, the body regenerates and the risk of overtraining reduces significantly (if this holistic approach is followed regularly).
For an optimal training schedule, you must weigh the benefits of a high frequency of trainings (such as increased strength, endurance and hypertrophy) with the risks (overtraining, fatigue and injury) in order to find an optimal balance between resting and exercising.
Also, as some other answers to this question have stated, there is localized fatigue in stabilizing muscles, such as the core, with any type of exercise. So a full day rest is often needed. The best way to utilize this knowledge is to do block periodization. That is, to exercise on alternate days for a couple of days, say 3-4, and then to take a whole day off. This way you stress the body in waves, but also allow it to adapt and regenerate on the resting days.

I'm not aware of any setting built into Google Reader. However, there are many styles already built (and you can build your own) and use the Stylish plugin for FF or Chrome. You can download some styles at userstyles.org With a minimal amount of CSS knowledge, you can modify the text to your liking.

Tuesday, December 02, 2008
(COLUMBIA, Mo.) -- Michael Kateman, executive director of Development, Alumni and Public Relations at Columbia College, received the 2008 Outstanding Fundraising Executive award from the Central Missouri Chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professionals. The award was presented at the Philanthropy Center Stage luncheon on Nov. 10.
Kateman was nominated for the award by Missy Montgomery, development officer for major and planned gifts at Columbia College. "He's an amazing philanthropist and the best boss I have ever had," she said.
In a letter announcing the philanthropy award recipients, Jaime Freidrichs, co-chair of the National Philanthropy Day committee, credited Kateman's many years of fundraising experience and "generosity in sharing that knowledge and expertise with others."
"It's an honor to receive this award," said Kateman. "To be recognized by peers is always a great honor and I really appreciate it. I'm proud to be involved in philanthropy."
Kateman recently was elected to the national board of the National Committee on Planned Giving (NCPG), an organization he has been actively involved with for more than 15 years. He also serves on the board of the Heart of Missouri United Way.
Kateman joined Columbia College in 2006 as the executive director of development and alumni services after working in institutional advancement for 19 years at the University of Missouri�Columbia. His diverse marketing, public relations and fundraising background includes health care, the arts, human services and higher education.
He graduated from the University of Missouri�Columbia with a master's degree from the School of Journalism and a bachelor's degree in business administration with an emphasis in marketing.

Here's my situation. I currently operate a small consulting business out of my home. I have Outlook configured as a POP3 client, downloading all the recent emails from my ISP the moment it's opened. Occasionally, I choose to leave Outlook closed because I often times need access to those emails remotely (via my ISP's optional web-access utils - SquirrelMail or RoundCube). For this reason, I am planning on configuring Outlook as an IMAP client.
However, that's not my issue - my issue is these email clients offered by my ISP; they feel so decrepit compared to, say, Gmail. Is there an HTML capable, IMAP configurable, web-based email client I could drop on a home server to not only serve myself, but others who work for me, from that location? I understand I'd have to set something up like dyndns, enabling access to that web interface from outside my firewall - I'm already doing it with an instance of Confluence.
Another thought (and NO clue if this can be done). Is there a service I could drop on my home server that would act as both a server and client? What I envision is it would automatically download all emails from my ISP location at configurable intervals (similar as if Outlook were open on my machine at all times) - yet be capable of managing those emails such that other IMAP configured clients would communicate with it, rather than directly with my ISP server?
This would:
- eliminate my need to worry about how much space is being taken up on my ISP server
- allow me to connect Outlook (or Thunderbird if I go that route) to it (rather than directly to my ISP) as an IMAP client
- keep all my emails local (and backed up) yet accessible from anywhere there's an internet connection
Of course, I'm still in the same boat if this hypothetical service doesn't provide a web-based front end I can expose outside the firewall....
I hope that's not too confusing.

I am wondering how can I write a conditional tag that affects a custom taxonomy slug and its children?
Found this in Wordpress Codex:
is_tax( 'flavor', 'mild')
When the archive page for the flavor taxonomy with the slug of 'mild' is being displayed.
However with this code only 'mild' slug archive page is affected and not it's children taxonomy terms.

Is there an easy way to move from a Hotmail account to something else, like a Gmail account or a new Hotmail account? Without losing all the folders, emails, contacts, etc.
migrated from superuser.com Jan 20 '11 at 17:48
This question came from our site for computer enthusiasts and power users.
You can use Windows Live Mail to download all your Hotmail messages, and then copy them over to your Gmail account. (Instructions here) You don't need Outlook.
Note that you'll have to have IMAP enabled on Gmail in order to use this method.

Dodge County High School in Eastman won top shooting honors at the first of six regional archery tournaments Saturday at Peach County High School.
Dodge County High shot a team score of 3,089 to beat out eight teams and win the overall highest-scoring team award at the first Georgia regional to kick off the National Archery in the School Program's tournament season. Dodge County edged Peach County High (3,029) to win the high school division and qualify for the 7th annual Georgia-NASP State Tournament March 13 at the Georgia National Fairgrounds in Perry.
Bulloch Academy from Statesboro automatically qualified for the state tournament by winning the elementary and middle school divisions with an elementary team score of 2,450 and a middle school team score of 3,051.
Individually, Dodge County High's Joshua Peterson, the defending male state champion, shot a 288 to win overall high score among males. Peach County High's Haley Woods scored a 280, beating Waverly Hall Christian's Ashley Snipes (279) by one point, to win overall high-scoring female at the regional.
Other top individual shooters included: Wynnbrook Christian's Denver Mott (277, top middle school male); Bulloch Academy's Chandler Brinson (269, top middle school female); Bulloch Academy's Cole Johnson (245, top elementary male); and Wynnbrook Christian's Taylor Luiz (241, top elementary female).
More than 160 students in elementary, middle and high school competed at Regional No. 1. Schools that did not win an automatic berth to state at the regional tournament can still be selected as a high-scoring wildcard team after the final regional tournament is completed in late February.
The National Archery in the Schools Program is an in-school archery curriculum that meets all education department standards. Only schools that are certified in NASP through the Georgia Department of Natural Resources are qualified to compete in the Georgia Tournament. Schools in more than 100 counties in Georgia are NASP certified.
The program promotes instruction in international-style target archery to improve educational performance and participation in shooting sports. Research has shown that the program, administered through a minimum two-week course during the school year, improves class attendance and behavior. NASP universal fit bows make it possible for students of all sizes and genders to succeed in archery while raising self-esteem levels and improving hand-eye coordination during physical activity.
NASP is taught in 48 states as well as seven countries. To date, more than 10 million students have gone through the program.
For more information on NASP in Georgia, recreational shooting sports opportunities or to find a range near you, visit www.georgiawildlife.com, contact a local WRD Game Management Office or call (770) 918-6416.

I installed a car stereo a few months ago and it seems to forget all of its settings whenever it loses power. The stereo the car came with didn't have this issue. I am familiar with electronics so I am assuming it needs a constant power source to keep the memory in-tact, however the ponytail connector is different than that of my cars, I had to splice wires to get it to work. There are 2 power cables that supply power and I have tried both and neither seem to do the trick (only 1 combination works as the ampage is different).
Is there a way I can possibly rig a small battery to one of the cables or something so that there is a constant power supply going to the radio? Or perhaps the battery in the stereo itself (if it has one) is dead?
The car is a Sukuki Swift 2006 plus
The stereo is a TKO BH-MP180

I am wondering if I could merge DEM and Hillshade ? What is the pro and cons for that? Thanks
Combined pan-sharpening, contrast stretching, and gamma stretching functions
If you have access to ArcGIS (and the Spatial Analyst Extension) you can use the technique described in this blog to "blend" DEM (or imagery) with shaded relief. The main disadvantage of this solution is that it is static; you need to produce an RGB raster from your DEM so if you need to change the original symbology in any way you have to do it on the original DEM raster then re-do the RGB raster and repeat all the steps. Luckily 95% of my current work is in the same geographical area so I just built various models and schemas that suit the various scales I often use and simply copy and paste them in the map as needed. As for using this approach with imagery; one unexpected advantage beyond just the wow factor is that field crews and environmental scientists like that use these "imagery-hill-shade blend" maps to get a sense of the terrain characteristics as well as the aerial perspective in one glance.
As a side note; It does require a certain amount of tinkering around with the functions to get the look of the resulting layer just right.
Below is an example and the input rasters. The last image is an example of imagery "blended" with DEM. No transparency was applied, the below examples are a result of the above mentioned functions as described in the linked ArcGIS Resource Centre blog by rajnagi.
DEM & Hillshade:
Input DEM:
Input Hillshade:
Imagery & Hillshade example:
You could 'merge' dem and hillshade. You could add 1 (grayscale or colormap) or 3 (rgb) bands to the dem. I don't see any benefit to doing so, and it would probably cause confusion given 2 band images are rare and 4 band images will likely at some point be misinterpreted as and RGBA image. Personally, I wouldn't do it.
In ArcGIS you can apply a hillshade effect to a DEM - it's a check box on the Symbology tab under Properties.
This will allow you to keep the values in the DEM, but still allow for the visual effect of the hillshade.

Carluccio's may be growing fast, but we're still a family. And, like any Italian family, we're noisy about food: we taste it, try it and argue about it till it's just right. I'm just as noisy about our people, and am really proud of the amazing things they achieve given the right support, encouragement and training.
That's why we focus on delivering great training for everyone at Carluccio's. We take our people olive picking in Italy, wine tasting in Puglia and risotto making in Veneto, and have invested in a unique Training Academy for our chefs, delivering more than 50 courses a month in a bespoke training kitchen and working with Westminster Kingsway College to develop our Sous Chefs (where you'll sometimes find me in my chef's whites). So if you think you have the potential & talent and want to be part of something fantastic, why not join us? I look forward to hearing from you.

I am currently in the process of switching my task management software from Things to taskwarrior. (Cultured Code introduced cloud synchronization, even without encryption, in Things 2, so I'm out).
I do not adhere strictly to the GTD method but one concept I find very useful is the Inbox. Tasks which are quickly captured land in the inbox first. From time to time, you review your inbox from time to time and sort the tasks into the appropriate projects.
What is the best way to implement this in taskwarrior?

There are a seemingly-endless variety of tools available for keeping track of tasks. From feature-clogged behemoths that will do everything (tracking time and generating Gantt charts) to the venerable pen and paper, it seems that no matter what feature I might want, someone has a product that will provide me with it.
So... What do I want? As someone interested in maximizing my personal productivity, both at work and in my home life, what should I be looking for as a core set of features in such a tool?

Props to Basia Bulat for being nominated for a Juno award for Best New Artist! The nomination comes on the heels of a year touring in support of 2010's Heart of My Own. Though she's been close to our hearts for some time, the Best New Artist award is open to anyone who has never been nominated before. She's won over a lot of new fans this year and continues to sell out her record wherever she plays; we think the nomination is well deserved, and we'll be cheering her on in March at the Awards taking place in Toronto.

The tool Create Random Point is able to generate a certain number of points within polygons. I am wondering, given a bounding box, is there any way that I can generate random points outside those polygon?
Personally I do not like the random point algorithm in ArcGIS. Alternatively, use Geospatial Modelling Environment's (GME)
You are going to have to create a donut polygon with the donut hole representing the interior non-point space and some spatial extent representing the bounding area of the polygonal area.
Sorry, I just can't resist. Since it is always good to know what is going on under the hood with something like GME, here is a solution in actual R code.
This approach is likely very different than how GME does this but is using native R sp spatial classes and a fairly new topology library making the code very efficient. This also gives an example that can easily be wrapped in a for loop.

The Clinical Medicine Guide - A Holistic Perspective (9780952218937)
Publisher: Jigme
Binding: Paperback
The Clinical Medicine Guide - A Holistic Perspective has been a favourite textbook of holistic practitioners for much of the last decade. It was first published in 1993 (as The Manual of Conventional Medicine for Alternative Practitioners) and provides clearly presented information about conventional medicine that is readily accessible and relevant in everyday practice. This new edition is completely revised and updated containing more cases, some treated by Chinese medicine and others treated by homoeopathy. These cases illustrate a healthy alternative to conventional treatment when dealing with disease and symptoms.
There are 19 Chapters covering every major organ system with dedicated Chapters on Philosophy, Pathological Processes, Investigations, Infectious Disease and Cancer. Each chapter discusses both holistic and conventional ideas of the system being presented. In addition, there are clear disease classifications that are tailored for the holistic practitioner. Each disease is discussed from the viewpoint of:
- Definition
- Symptoms
- Complications
- Investigations
- Treatment
- Holistic management
- Cases
The section on holistic management discusses how to deal with cases complicated by prescribed drugs, how to assess the severity of a case and includes details of the corresponding syndrome in terms of Chinese medicine. At the end of each chapter there is information on how to recognise serious symptoms that may need referral.

Found a bug (calculating the width of the slider fill)
Hi everybody!
Since I got this plugin successfully working with Architect, I played a bit with my new cool little slider and noticed that there are some errors in calculating the width of the filling element in some cases.
If you are not dragging the slider but directly selecting a point on the slider, which is at the other end of the slider (so the distance between start and end is big enough) you will recognize that in some cases the filing element is to big or to small.
I added a picture for better understanding it.

Is this supposed to work with Sencha Touch 2?

Did you made any modifications on the slider code which ST are you using. On which device you have tested to replicate this issue?
9 Oct 2012 10:34 PM #15
I have not made any modifications. I'm using ST 188.8.131.52. I tested it with Google Chrome 22.0.1229.92, Android 2.3.4 Browser, Android Dolphin Browser 8.8.2 and Android Boat Browser 4.4.1 Build 2906 with Sony Ericsson Xperia ray and Sony Ericson Xperia neo.

did anyone get this plugin running with ST2.1? It seems that they changed a lot on the slider...
A problem seems to be that the calculated width of the fill_spaces is always 0 because item.translatableBehavior.translatable.x always returns 0 now....

Looks like painted event does not returns reference of slider, i'm not sure if painted event is changed .

Can you please take latest code from github and try in ST2.1
22 Nov 2012 12:32 AM #20
Thank you!
It's running, thank you very much!
Actually I got also the other version running again, the problem was in missing css declarations due to my changes along with the upgrade to ST2.1.
Anyway, it's running now nicely again, thx

I have the honor of responding to the letter you co-signed addressed to the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud, dated July 31, 2009, in which you noted the Arab Peace Initiative and encouraged the Kingdom to make a dramatic gesture toward Israel.
I wish, at the outset, to thank you for your interest in peace between the Arab countries and Israel and emphasize that the Kingdom shares your goal. Over the years, Saudi Arabia has taken clear positions that attest to its desire to see this long-standing conflict resolved equitably and permanently.
The basis for ending the Arab-Israeli conflict is clear. It has been enshrined in numerous international resolutions, and highlighted in virtually every peace conference convened over the past three decades. Essentially, it centers on Israel ending its occupation of the territories taken in 1967, including Jerusalem, establishing an independent Palestinian state, and providing for a just settlement for Palestinian refugees. In exchange, Israel shall receive full recognition, a formal end to the conflict, peace, security and normal relations with all Arab countries.
The Arab countries accepted this formula as a basis for a settlement when they unanimously adopted the Arab Peace Initiative at the Beirut Summit in 2002. This bold and historic initiative was also adopted by the Islamic countries at the Makkah Summit in December 2005, and reiterated by the Arab League at subsequent Arab Summits, including, most recently, at the 2009 Doha Summit. Israel has not. Nor has Israel accepted the principle that it must end its occupation of all Arab territories. Instead, it continues to seek to divert attention from the heart of the matter – a permanent and just peace that ends the occupation that began in 1967 – and to focus on tertiary issues. Further, Israel continues to build settlements in defiance of international law and to strengthen its hold on the Palestinian Territories, when it should understand, as then-Crown Prince, now King, Abdullah bin Abdulaziz stated in his address to the Arab Summit in Beirut in 2002, that "peace and the retention of occupied Arab territories are incompatible and impossible to reconcile or achieve."
With regard to confidence-building measures, gestures and a step-by-step approach to the peace process, I would like to reiterate the view articulated by the Kingdom's Foreign Minister, Prince Saud Al-Faisal, that such an approach is unlikely to achieve success. It has not succeeded over the past three decades, and, we believe, will not today. The history and track-record of such an approach is clear, as the following examples illustrate:
Given the above history, it is reasonable to conclude that an incremental approach, or one built on temporary confidence-building measures or gestures, will not work. It is our firm view that resolution of this conflict does require outlining the final settlement at the outset, followed by prompt resumption of negotiations on all final status issues – borders, Jerusalem, water, security and refugees – with a deadline set for their early conclusion. The focus must be on the final settlement and on the final peace, not on an incremental process. This will make the final outcome clear to all parties, and thereby undermine the ability of extremists on both sides to delay or derail the movement to peace. It is also absolutely imperative for the United States to play an active and robust role in the negotiations, as history has shown.
I appreciate your interest in achieving a real and durable peace in the Middle East, and I hope this letter clarifies the Kingdom's position regarding the steps we believe are necessary to effectively move toward peace.
Adel bin Ahmed Al-Jubeir

THE PARTY In its fourth year, the signature event was en fuego at The Crosby, with 700 VIPs coming out to the sprawling Rancho Santa Fe property. THE SCENE On this magical evening, 17 of San Diego's top chefs were paired with visionary designers, providing the ultimate tabletop inspiration. Roche Bobois joined forces with The Westgate for an oh-so-French pairing (their scallops were the hit of the night). Meanwhile, Kris Lajeskie brought coastal flair—and a huge peacock—to her table with L'Auberge Del Mar, which was slinging some serious sliders. And Esteban Interiors did rustic-modern right for Avant's lavish spread. Guests noshed their way around the clubhouse, sipping inventive cocktails from Pick & Rocks. There was even a Stella Artois bar on a putting green, courtesy of Pacific Sotheby, and desserts from Waters Fine Foods & Catering. THE HIGHLIGHTS Hoehn Motors provided ample inspiration with a lineup of all the latest ride candy. Most wanted? The Porsche Panamera Turbo and Mercedes-Benz CLA. And hats off to Panache Productions for pulling off one of the most delectably decadent evenings in recent memory. Photography by Jeff Corrigan

I hope this question isn't too silly. It is certainly fundamental, so the answer is likely contained at least implicitly in most sources out there, but I haven't seen it done this way (that is, in this particular functorial manner) in a way which is overt enough for me to catch on. I am familiar with the classical $Proj$-construction for a graded ring, so that's not quite what I'm looking for.
Let $k$ be a ring. Let's call a covariant functor of sets on some category of $k$-algebras an algebraic functor (over $k$). The affine $I$-space over $k$ is the algebraic functor $\mathbb{A}^I:(k−alg)→(set)$ which takes a $k$-algebra $R$ to the set $\mathbb{R}^I$ of $I$-tuples of elements of $R$. This functor is (co)representable by the ring $k[T_i],i∈I$, so $\mathbb{A}^I$ is (represented by) an affine scheme.
I want the projective space over $k$ in terms of an algebraic functor over $k$. I'm thinking something like $R↦\{\mathbb{R}^{I+∞}/\mathbb{G}_m(R)\}$ (where $\mathbb{G}_m(R)$ is the multiplicative group of $R$), or as a functor sending $R$ to some set of modules of rank $1$. One should then be able to show that it has a cover by four copies of the affine $I$-space over $k$. Alternatively, it would likely make sense to consider it a functor on the category of graded $k$-algebras.
