We have a new favorite lounge spot at home: The Scratch Lounge. Ando recently had a chance to give it a test drive (thank you, Scratch Lounge!) and he is quite impressed. The shape of the Scratch Lounge is just perfect for kitties to plop down in, with thick corrugated cardboard surfaces on the bottom and on two sides, creating a cardboard nest. The other great design feature is that all three cardboard pads (bottom and both sides) are reversible, so it's like getting two loungers in one. And when it's really done, the whole thing is recyclable.
The Scratch Lounge is made in the USA in Chicago, Illinois using all safe materials including non-toxic wheat-based glue to adhere the cardboard pieces together. And besides being a great product, The Scratch Lounge is made by a great company. A full 10% of profits are donated to The Amanda Foundation Mobile Clinic, which provides low-cost spay/neuter services specifically to the poorest communities of Los Angeles.
Not only does the Scratch Lounge contribute to The Amanda Foundation, but they regularly participate generously in lots of animal rescue programs and fundraisers, like the recent aCATemy awards adoption event where every cat received a free Scratch Lounge, and the HSUS Genesis Awards. The people behind the Scratch Lounge truly have the welfare of the animals in mind as part of their business plan! Stay up-to-date on the latest Scratch Lounge activities on their Facebook page.
Five lucky winners are going to receive Scratch Lounges! To enter, please leave a comment on this post. The winners will be chosen in a random drawing and announced on March 30, 2011. One entry per person. This giveaway is open to readers everywhere!

Department of Art & Art History
Program overview
Major/minor: Studio art
Major/minor: Art history
The department of art and art history provides an energetic environment in which intellectual ideas are fostered and creativity is valued. Our balanced art curriculum includes entry and advanced level opportunities in studio art and art history. Upper-level students are guided through a versatile program which gives them the necessary skills to produce a substantial thesis project in an area of their own choosing.
Cornell offers very attractive fine arts scholarships to incoming students. Work study positions are also available in the art and art history department—please contact the department chair for more information.
Areas of focus and exploration
For the studio major, areas of focus include ceramics, photography, video, drawing, painting, sculpture, performance art, and collage and assemblage. For students emphasizing art history, there are multiple course area offerings from Western antiquity to the present available, as well as Native American, Latin American, and African art.
Senior theses
An art history thesis normally requires a paper, public presentation, and oral defense to complete the major. Papers are then catalogued in Cornell College's Cole Library and accessible on WorldCat. A studio thesis involves a public exhibition, an oral defense, and the creation of an electronic portfolio. Our emphasis on a senior thesis requirement is unusual for a college of our size. Our aim is to establish in our majors the qualities of a committed artist or art historian after leaving Cornell, whether continuing their work in their own studios, as teachers inspiring others to make art, entering a graduate program, managing an antique store, becoming a museum docent, or using art as part of their daily lives in a career outside the art world.
One Course At A Time
A recent alumni said it seems Cornell's One Course At A Time schedule "was made for the art department." He's right: the block plan gives us the ability to treat every studio course like a workshop, with focused periods of work, fewer interruptions, and less time devoted to set up and clean up.
The block plan also gives us the opportunity to take frequent trips to galleries and museums at other schools, neighboring cities, and as far away as Milwaukee, Madison, Saint Louis, and Chicago. We frequently offer block-long off-campus courses to study art history in Italy and Mexico, as well as museum studies in Chicago. In addition, our students have the flexibility to include internships in a wide range of fields as part of their studies.

WATCH: Arcade Fire's Win Butler plays with Rolling Stones
Listen to Arcade Fire on iHeartRadio | Listen to Rolling Stones on iHeartRadio
It turns out the last time Arcade Fire's Win Butler sang "The Last Time" with Mick Jagger wasn't actually the last time. Butler took the stage Sunday to play the early Rolling Stones classic with Mick and the boys during their concert in Montreal.
The two rockers previously performed the tune together during Jagger's appearance on "Saturday Night Live" last year when Butler and his Arcade Fire bandmates served as the iconic frontman's backing band.
For the latest gig, Butler appeared to make himself at home on stage. He strutted out with his guitar, only to set it down after a few licks to grab the mic and partake in a face-to-face duet with Jagger.
Meanwhile, Arcade Fire has been busy prepping their follow-up to 2010's The Suburbs. The new album is expected out sometime this year.

Information Literacy Librarian Elizabeth (Betsy) McCutchen Williams was invited to give a lecture at the Filson Historical Society in Louisville, Ky about her publication Appalachian travels : the diary of Olive Dame Campbell / edited by Elizabeth McCutchen Williams published by the University Press of Kentucky, c2012.
In 1908 and 1909, noted social reformer and "songcatcher" Olive Dame Campbell traveled with her husband, John C. Campbell, through the Southern Highlands region of Appalachia to survey the social and economic conditions in mountain communities. Throughout the journey, Olive kept a detailed diary offering a vivid, entertaining, and personal account of the places the couple visited, the people they met, and the mountain cultures they encountered.
Although John C. Campbell's book, The Southern Highlander and His Homeland, is cited by nearly every scholar writing about the region, little has been published about the Campbells themselves and their role in the sociological, educational, and cultural history of Appalachia. In this critical edition, Elizabeth McCutchen Williams makes Olive's diary widely accessible to scholars and students for the first time.Appalachian Travels only offers an invaluable account of mountain society at the turn of the twentieth century.
American folklorist Olive Dame Campbell (1882–1954) was the author or coauthor of numerous books, including English Folk Songs from the Southern Appalachians. In 1925, she founded the John C. Campbell Folk School in Brasstown, North Carolina.

There is an article in the Globe and Mail today discussing the possibility of the NHL expanding to 32 teams, and more specifically Seattle being one expansion possibility. To many expansion seems counter intuitive considering there are a lot of teams that are already in financial distress that can hardly keep their heads above water as it is. Some people are actually suggesting contraction is the much better option and on the surface that makes sense. At least to us the fan. Drop off the weak teams that can't support a strong fan base and in the process improve the average talent level among the remaining teams and presumably make the product more enjoyable to watch. The thing is, from the owners perspective that is the completely wrong way to solve the problem of weak teams. The solution is rather, bring in more weak teams and collect a hefty fee while doing so.
Let's put aside the fact that the owners will probably collect $300-400M, possibly more, from expansion fees to say Seattle and Quebec City and lets take a look at the impact such an expansion will have on the financial viability of the other weak teams in the league.
The 2012-13 league wide revenue is/was projected to be $3.3B, or about $110M per team. But, a sizable portion of that revenue (National TV contracts, league licencing, etc.) is not team generated but league generated. Let's suggest that that amount is a mere $300M to make some numbers easy (it is probably significantly higher). This would make team generated revenue $3B or an average of $100M per team. Some teams most certainly bring in closer to $150M in revenue and maybe more, the weak teams probably bring in closer to $50M, maybe less. Lets, for argument sake, suggest the NHL expands by 2 teams that are in markets that will generate slightly below average revenue. Say $75M/yr. Now, let's crunch some salary cap numbers using the old CBA where the players get 57%.
At $3.3B in league revenue, the revenue per team average is $110M and the players allocation is 57%, or 62.7M which makes the salary cap $70.7M and the salary floor 54.7M.
Now, if we add in to $75M revenue generating teams the league-wide revenue rises to $3.45M but the team average revenue falls to 107.8M. 57% of that comes to $61.45M making the salary cap 69.45M and the salary floor 53.45M.
Expanding to 2 smaller markets just caused the salary cap and salary floor to drop $1.25M which essentially cuts the expenses of weaker teams such Coyotes by $1.25M per year. That is not insignificant to a team losing money. If you were a salary floor team you can cut your player expenses from $54.7M to 53.45M, about 2.3%, all while collecting $10-15M (per existing team) in expansion fees. On top of that, you can do it without making the NHLPA mad because the NHLPA will be all for expansion because it means more jobs for them. The only complaint the NHLPA may have is, why not expand to a big market like a second team in Toronto.
Now, the only loser in all of this is us, the fans. We get a more diluted product and potentially more diluted rivalries (likely fewer games and less chance of playoff meetings against true rivals) but since when did the NHL ever care about the fans more than the dollars.

If you give the 1902 death a five-year range, results will end in 1909.
Unless you're specifically looking for a death record, It's best to avoid choosing Exact for a death date. Checking Exact for any search term means matching records must contain that term. But few genealogy records have death information (most of your ancestor's records were created while he was alive).

Lily Aldridge Teams With Terry Richardson
She's no stranger to prancing around in front of a camera, and Lily Aldridge recently paid a visit to Terry Richardson's photography studio.
The Victoria's Secret stunner truly looks flawless in the Terry's Diary spread, changing from a leopard print scarf and black coat into a simple white tank top so as not to detract from her natural beauty.
Given that she gets paid to have her picture taken while wearing very little clothing, Lily recently confessed that the best part of her job is having access to "professional hair and makeup artists, hands down."
And when it comes to walking the runway in a bra and panties, Aldridge confessed, "It's fine as long as you look at the camera, not the audience."
Being a mom makes it a little trickier to get in a good workout, so Lily does "ballet and pilates between [daughter] Dixie's naps."

EVERETT — The flags are ready to go up at the new Everett Municipal Courthouse this afternoon.
Court operations are set to close at 2:30 p.m. for a short public ceremony at 3 p.m.
"The flags will be over the courthouse then and that's the last of the official things we needed to do," court administrator Katie Traenkenschuh said.
The new courthouse at Pacific and Wetmore avenues has been up and running since mid-December, though construction didn't finish until May.
For months, judges, staff and the public went about their business as work continued around them. The old court building was torn down, probation offices were built and a courtyard was constructed.
Probation staff, previously working a few blocks away, moved in last month.
Including parking tickets, the court processes about 40,000 municipal cases per year.
In the old building, courtrooms often were so packed that people stood outside in the hall, waiting for judges to call their names. The court was limited to one jury trial a day because there was only one small jury deliberation room.
The City Council in 2011 approved building the new courthouse northwest of the old building. Work on the $8.4 million project began later that year.
"We were cramped in there," Traenkenschuh said. "Now we have (two) courtrooms where we can accommodate 100 people. So now we feel like we can do whatever we need to."
The 17,000-square-foot courthouse is three times larger than the old one. Technological upgrades allow video arraignments for defendants booked in the jail, eliminating the inconvenience of shuffling them to and from the lockup.
City officials said they have made security improvements with surveillance cameras and updated metal detectors. There are holding cells and secured entrances for inmates.
Tuesday's opening event is to include Mayor Ray Stephanson and the Police Color Guard along with Municipal Court Judges Timothy O'Dell and David Mitchell. The ribbon-cutting originally was planned in the courtyard, but will be moved inside the lobby if the rainy forecast holds true.

John Ruskin
About the Author
John Ruskin was born in London in 1819, of Scottish descent. His father was a succesful wine-merchant and art lover; his mother a strict Evangelical whose religious instruction affected him deeply. He entered Christ Church, Oxford, in 1836 and graduated in 1842. In 1843, the first of the five volumes of Modern Painters was published, a work written in defense of J.M.W. Turner. The other volumes survey the main traditions of European painting from Giotto to the nineteenth century. Ruskin was also passionately interested in Gothic architecture and published two books on the subject before the completion of Modern Painters: The Seven Lamps of Architecture (1849) and the three volumes of The Stones of Venice in 1851 and 1853. He married Effie Gray in 1848, but seven years later the marriage was annulled on grounds of non-consummation. In 1858 he met Rose la Toche, a girl of nine, with whom he fell in love and became increasingly obsessed, and in that year he finally lost his Evangelical faith. In 1860, disillusioned with a society in which poverty was rampant and the poor exploited, he began the first of four essays attacking the science of Political Economy. They were published in book form in 1862, uner the title, Unto this Last. This was followed in 1863 by Munera Pulveris, which puts forward some positive proposals for economic change and reform. In 1869 he became the first Slade Professor of Fine Art at Oxford and in 1871 began writing Fors Clavigera, a series of open letters which draw connections between diverse subjects. He also took part in many practical projects, many of which he directed by way of his Utopian pressure-group, the Guild of St. George. When Rose la Touche died insanse in 1875, however, he began to show signs of mental disturbance and suffered the first of seven mental breakdowns in 1878. In 1885 he began publishing his autobiography, Praeterita. This moving and lyrical book was brought to a premature conclusion by his last and most violent breakdown in 1889. He lived on, withdrawn and inactive, until 1900.

Best Of :: Sports & Recreation
When was the last time you laughed so hard you fell over? Have you pushed your best friend off a high ledge into some salt water lately or run around for hours until you got sunburned — all without the aid of alcohol? Maybe you're looking to get a little exercise this summer but don't want to sweat the hard stuff. Perhaps you simply want to break out of your boring routine and give something wonderfully wacky a try. If you want some good, clean fun in the sun, there's no better destination than Jungle Island's floating obstacle course/water park, Rainforest Riptide. It sits curiously on beautiful Biscayne Bay, visible to passing cars yet seemingly miles away from the everyday hustle. A person can spend hours trying to climb to the top of the rope incline or clear the poleless vault. Race your friends to see who can run around those tight corners and make a full lap, which is hysterically next to impossible. Play on the trampolines, the balance beams, the catapult, and the swing, and before you know it, the sun is setting and you've worked up an appetite big enough to eat a whale. It's a great place to bring kids aged 3 to 93, as long as they know how to swim. Rainforest Riptide day passes, which include admission to Jungle Island, start at $31.95. It's open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily, weather permitting, and hey, on the way out, you can stop and hang with the monkeys.
Jimmy Stobs is a great golfer. The 45-year-old Miami native played professionally for ten years and once won the Florida Open. But it's quickly becoming clear that Stobs is an even better coach. After beginning his career at Miami Country Day, Stobs took over the Barry University men's team in 2002. That year, the Bucs struggled, finishing under .500, but since then, Stobs has wasted no time in turning Barry into a Division II powerhouse: In 2003-04, his second season at the school, the team went 130-38 and won its first-ever place in the national tournament. Stobs was named a regional coach of the year. Three years later, in 2007, the Bucs were national champions. They repeated as champs in 2013 and 2014, and this year the linksters on 113th Street are again contending for a national championship. Not that winning is everything, of course: Under Stobs, who also serves on the board of an adversity award, Barry's men's teams have also lent a hand to Habitat for Humanity and local reading programs.

It's the afternoon of September 7, 2014, the Dolphins' opening game: at home, against perennial powerhouse and Fins nemesis the New England Patriots. Deep in the third quarter, the Patriots are up by a touchdown. Living legend Tom Brady takes the snap. He moves back laterally, scanning his head side to side for a receiver. Dolphins defensive end Cameron Wake targets Brady like a laser and flies full speed around the Patriots' linemen. Brady sees him coming, tries to dance away. Wake lunges hard at the quarterback and tackles his torso. Fumble. Dolphins recover. Dolphins score. Late in the fourth, Wake sacks Brady again. Another fumble. Victory sealed. Wake, a 33-year-old Maryland native, signed with the Dolphins in 2009 after struggling for years to find a spot on an NFL roster. In Miami his star finally rose, and last season Wake's defensive play was as bright as the fan favorite's megawatt smile: He earned AFC Defensive Player of the Week honors for his takedowns of Brady and went on to rack up a season-total 11.5 sacks and 31 tackles. That was more than enough to cement his place as one of the Dolphins' top performers — and to earn the onetime mortgage broker his fourth Pro Bowl nomination.

In a league of coddled superstars and guys riding seven-figure salaries since they were teenagers, Hassan Whiteside is the rare star-in-the-making who actually earned it. After a year at Marshall University, Whiteside played for the Sioux Falls Skyforce, the Rio Grande Valley Vipers, the Iowa Energy, the Sichuan Blue Whales in China, and Al Mouttahed Tripoli of the Lebanese Basketball League. But in 2015, perhaps the bleakest year in Miami Heat history, Whiteside took his chance in the NBA by pulling down rebounds as if they were lemons hanging on a tree and blocking shots as if he were swatting mosquitoes. Once, he dunked so hard his hand required multiple stitches. Another time, he put up numbers on the boards and from the field that the Heat has never seen, not even in the days of Shaquille O'Neal. This past February 4, he totaled 24 points on 12-of-13 shooting while pulling down 20 rebounds. He's the heart of the next-generation Heat, and he's probably not headed back to Lebanon anytime soon.

For the past decade, Marlins fans have known that only three things in life are certain: death, taxes, and October disappointment. Between periodic spending sprees and corresponding fire sales, it's been a long roller-coaster ride with a team that's less reliable than Randy Choate's fastball. In the end, we can expect only heartbreak. Until now, that is. One man has taken on the challenge of saving the Marlins organization from itself. Major League Baseball's $325 million man, Giancarlo Stanton signed the largest contract in the history of North American professional sports last November — making Stanton the face of the Marlins for the next 13 years. In signing that contract, the superstar worked to convince ownership that he needed the teammates to back him. The Marlins followed that up with new additions and aimed to build a winner. After sitting out the final weeks of last season when he got nailed in the face with a heater, a recovered Stanton has returned in 2015 with fire in his toned abs. If Stanton can bring this team back to the promised land of the postseason, Jeff Conine might have to give up his title of Mr. Marlin.

Coming into the season, the expectations weren't exactly low for Aaron Ekblad. After all, the now-19-year-old defenseman had been taken by the Panthers as the first overall pick in the NHL Draft last summer. But not even those savvy Sunrise scouts could have predicted a breakout year quite like this: In his first season removed from junior hockey, the powerful young Canadian was arguably the Cats' most valuable player. He was the team's top-scoring defenseman and one of its top scorers overall. He was the Panthers' plus-minus leader, a stat that tracks goal differential while a player is on the ice. He earned that title while also topping the squad in playing time. Despite his youth, his teammates already praise him as a leader, and his physical, cerebral performance was a major factor behind the Panthers' first serious playoff push in three years (even if they did come up short). It also earned Ekblad a spot in the All-Star Game, not to mention a place in the conversation for the league's coveted most outstanding rookie award. For a precocious teenager from small-town Ontario, does it get any better than this?

INTERVIEW: Ferry Corsten at Electric Zoo
Listen to Ferry Corsten on iHeartRadio
A veteran of dance music, Ferry Corsten is no doubt a pro at making people dance - full on. Having toured almost any country you can think of, holding his own party in the party paradise known as Ibiza, a new project with another seasoned producer/DJ Markus Schulz, while always creating new tunes for his fans, he has proven he most definitely still has it, and he's not going anywhere.
We got to hang out with Ferry at Electric Zoo in New York City. He told us about his summer in Ibiza at his "Full On" party, New World Punx and what it's like working with Markus Schulz, his track "Diss," and the best "diss" story he can remember (although he says it wasn't meant as one)! Check it out below:
How has your summer been?
It's been hectic, [but] really good. But very, very busy because, I spent a lot of time in Europe with Ibiza, where I have my own night, "Full On," every Sunday. So it was good. It's in Eden in San Antonio, and Eden has been totally remodeled, the whole club. So you can't recognize the old Eden anymore. It's a beautiful club right now, so it was a very exciting summer for me. But at the same time, being there every Sunday, and having to play in Russia and in other places, you know, to get off Ibiza, it's a hell to get to another place from there!
Do you have a favorite place to go in Ibiza or favorite thing to do when you're there?
There's a restaurant that I really love to go to. It's called Las dos Lunas and it feels like an oasis of just calm. As soon as you come in, the vibe of that restaurant is … and I just love being there! So that's always ... I make an effort to go there.
Tell us about all the guests you've had at "Full On?"
Well, for the opening night I had Markus, which is great, because obviously I'm doing a lot of stuff with Markus now. I loved playing with Showtek, those guys are just … it's just fun! The whole thing about "Full On" is to take away the whole "serious" thing about DJing, you know. It's just having fun and loving what you're doing, and playing back to back with two different styles of music, basically that would have to work together somehow. This is a challenge and then it's a lot of fun. I had Chicane the other day, which was really good fun as well. It's a totally different type of music again, but I think those three were my favorites.
How is New World Punx going with Markus Schulz?
Well, New World Punx is something that just grew organically. We were first making music together, and then we had a couple of shows where we were actually billed together as individual DJs. But we called each other up and said "Hey, let's just do back to back the whole set, put the two sets down together and then play like four hours, five hours back to back." And that resulted in the crowd [asking] "When, when are you guys touring with this?!"
Then we decided [to] grab the two titles of our biggest hits, put them together, "The New World" and "Punk." [We decided] we were gonna start touring and making music under that moniker, and so far, it's been received really well! It's really cool because it gives us a bit more freedom, as New World Punx, to play really different stuff than we would normally individually. We can just do anything we want, and it's real fun for the both of us, which you can actually see! I think that the crowd sees that as well, and feels that.
We've been both been doing this for a long time now, and we know how competitive it can be sometimes in this industry, and we're sort of like sick and tired of it. [We] just want to have fun, because that's where it started, and that's what it should be.
What's the best part about working with Markus?
Markus is really driven guy! His enthusiasm about music is second to none. And we really feed off each other, you know. I can play [one] track, and he's, like, "Oh, I can play this now!" And it's like up and up and up. That's really cool. I love that about him.
Tell us about your track "Diss?"
"Diss" is actually something that I made two years ago, when I was playing at "A State of Trance" in Miami. And I just needed a track that had a really strong opening. I was going through old music, and I came across a track by D-Shake, it's called "Techno Trance" and it had that intro. [I said] "Okay, I'm just gonna re-produce that," and I mashed it up with another '90s track by Armando "100% of Dissing You," and he used a sample, you know, "I'm gonna diss you right now." But, you know, this is just a, a track. [I thought] if I put all these things together, it's gonna be like a right statement.
What's the worst you've ever been dissed or that you've dissed someone else?
When I'm in Phoenix, there's always this story going around, and the guys over there always say, "Oh man, I've never seen anybody being dissed so badly." There was a guy who was, at the time when everybody started going from vinyl to CDs - I was playing on CDs, and there was some local DJ who said, "You play on the CDs and it's not real DJing. You just play boom, boom music." To which I could only answer, because he was a local DJ there then I'll respect, "sorry, but tomorrow I'm flying somewhere else, and then [to] another continent next week. You keep doing what you do, and I do what I do." And then the whole crowd there with us, surrounding us, they were like, "Ohhhhh." You know, I mean, that, that would be a diss in my book. But it wasn't meant to be a diss.
Well a lot changed a lot since the vinyl days. How would you say your sound, or the way you produce and do things has changed from ten years ago?
First of all, there's way more across the board. Before I had my breakthrough with, with trance, I was already doing different stuff. But, people know me as a trance DJ because that was my big breakthrough. My sound was way more pure, as in pure trance. And right now, it has influence from techno, from electro, from house, you know, but still, the bottom line is still trance.
Also the way I produced, and I wish that I would go back to those days, but technology is different, you know. Back in the day, I only had like so much equipment, and I had to make the most out of that. I had to milk it for what I had. Right now, the possibilities with all the plug-ins and stuff is endless, and you keep going and you keep fine-tuning. So I think definitely my tracks are way more fine-produced than before. It was a lot more raw back in the day. But in all honesty, you know, back in the day it was just you had your idea, you put it out, bang, and that was it. And right now, you have an idea and just fine-tuning it.
What music do you listen to outside of dance music?
Everything but dance music. But in general, like chill out stuff, classical music, jazz, reggae.
Are there any artists you listen to that nobody knows about?
I love stuff like reggae, like, Sister Nancy and Eek-A-Mouse, really different stuff. Also Erykah Badu, you know, just real good stuff. And then, everything that you can sort of categorize under the Ibiza-chill stuff, I love that.
Well, since we are at Electric Zoo, if you were an animal, what animal would you be?
I think I would be a seagull. Because I would be comfortable everywhere. In the water, on land, and in the air! And I love the beach!

The flag of the city can be seen at www.troyny.gov/city_council.html which shows a large version hung on a wall. The flag is a vertical triband of red/white/red and has TROY, N.Y. and
an emblem on the white stripe. The emblem looks like a seal, and has an Uncle Sam top hat on it. It may be the current seal of the city, but I cannot confirm that or find an image of the seal.

Troy is the 'birthplace' of the "Uncle Sam" character. During the U.S. Civil War, a meatpacker in Troy shipped meat to the Union army, and the crates were stamped US for, of course, United States. The soldiers started to say that the
meat came from 'our Uncle Sam.' And as they say, "the rest is history."

text: NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Pandora Media ( P) is spending just $600,000 to buy an obscure radio station in Box Elder, S.D. That six-figure investment, announced in June, continues to reverberate far beyond the Badlands, FM radio and streaming music services, of which Pandora is the biggest player.Pandora admitted its expansion into terrestrial radio is designed to alter revenue sharing agreements with songwriters and publishers. It's part of an effort to bend or change standards Pandora believes harms its bottom line. That approach, in turn, has triggered multiple lawsuits and other legal maneuvering by publishers and their agents. Litigation isn't only directed at Pandora, when it comes to digital streaming and music royalty disputes. On Monday, SoundExchange Inc., the organization charged with collecting and distributing digital royalties, filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, against satellite radio service Sirius XM Radio Inc., alleging systematic underpayment of royalties. But Pandora is attracting the most attention these days, and some of the most impassioned vitriol. Despite large jumps in revenue and more than 70 million listeners, there's both an in-your-face attitude and a whiff of desperation about Pandora's acquisition of a radio station. Pandora, which went public in June 2011, continues to lose money despite more and more advertising sales. Last week, the company reversed course on limiting listening hours for those mobile users who don't pay money to subscribe. That foreshadows a direct challenge to Pandora's current supremacy, when, next month, Apple Inc. is scheduled to launch its long-awaited iTunes Radio. The transfer of the radio station license is pending with the Federal Communications Commission, according to a Pandora spokesperson. Pandora's attempted move to terrestrial radio helps shed light as well on much larger issues related to the music industry, where rapidly changing technology and fickle consumer tastes clash with revenue sharing determined by legislative or administrative fiat. This kind of price determination shapes the value of an individual song and, by extension, music companies. "In this supposed bastion of capitalism, there's price-fixing, as if this was World War II and we're rationing sugar and nylons," said David Lowery, an outspoken musician and lecturer in music business at the University of Georgia.

This French favorite is normally associated with cherries, but I like to make smaller versions using fresh apricots. These start coming into season in late spring. We serve some almond ice cream alongside the clafoutis, but it's just as delicious served simply dusted with confectioners' sugar and topped with a trickle of heavy cream or a spoonful of crème fraîche. The batter is best left to rest and soften for a good 24 hours beforehand.–Gordon Ramsay
LC Clafoutis Conundrum Note
No, our conundrum isn't which stone fruit—apricot or cherries—to use in our clafoutis. It's how to pronounce the darn thing. We still stumble over it for some reason, though we've been speaking French for years. Fortunately, there's help. Go on, say it along with us: klah foo tee.
Special Equipment: 6 round, straight-sided, 4-inch tartlet molds
Apricot Clafoutis Recipe
- Quick Glance
- Makes 6
- 1/2 cup sliced almonds, toasted
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- Pinch salt
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 extra-large eggs
- 3 extra-large egg yolks
- 1 cup heavy cream
- Butter, softened, for the pans
- 12 ripe medium apricots
- Confectioners' sugar, for dusting
- 1. Grind the almonds to a very fine dust in a coffee grinder or nut mill. (Note: You can try this in a food processor, but it's pretty hard to grind such a small amount of nuts in a full-size processor.) Transfer the ground nuts to a food processor along with the flour and salt and combine. Add the sugar, whole eggs, egg yolks, and cream and blend until smooth and creamy. Pour into a large bowl, cover, and refrigerate for 24 hours.
- 2. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Butter 6 round, straight-sided, 4-inch tartlet molds, with butter.
- 3. Halve the apricots and remove the pits. Cut each apricot half in half, then divide them among the prepared molds. Sift some confectioners' sugar over the apricots. Pour the batter into the molds and bake for 12 minutes, or until risen and lightly firm.
- 4. Cool the clafoutis in the molds for a few minutes, then unmold them onto a wire rack using a small metal spatula. Serve the clafoutis warm, dusted with a little more confectioners' sugar.

Exxon Insists Its Free Speech Case Against Attorneys General Be Heard in Texas Court

What's being said
This case needs to be tossed forthwith. The state AG's should be prosecuted by Jeff Sessions immediately
Judge Kinkeade has long had his anti-business thumb on the scale for the plaintiffs' bar. So he may feel compelled to rule for Mr. Schneiderman and Ms. Healey since both are alumni, political allies and beneficiaries of that bar. But just as Steve Donziger was pursued to the ends of the earth by Chevron for his shameless fraud, so too should Schneiderman, Healey and other speech-suppressing Stalinists with whom they've conspired against Exxon expect to be pursued. Even if the question of personal jurisdiction has to go all the way to the SCOTUS, with a new associate justice firmly ensconced by then, truth and justice in this case will inevitably prevail and the careers of Schneiderman and Healey will be over.

Kristen Stewart: "Breaking Dawn - Part 2" Premiere Beauty
Getting ready to wrap up the biggest project of her career thus far, Kristen Stewart was on hand for "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2" premiere in Los Angeles, CA on Monday (November 12).
The 22-year-old vampire star rocked a chic golden ensemble as she made her way down the Nokia Theatre red carpet, with her fellow co-stars in tow.
Aside from the mob of media waiting to catch a glimpse of the stars, there was also a massive gathering of "Twi-hards" that had been waiting days to be a part of this iconic moment.
In a previous sit down on "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon," KStew dished about saying goodbye to the franchise, saying, "We have this really nice send-off," adding, "So for anyone who doesn't want it to be over, twist that knife. It really just doesn't make it easy."
"Breaking Dawn- Part 2" is set to officially hit theaters on November 16th, but eager viewers can catch 10 p.m. screenings on November 15th, where available.
Enjoy the pictures of Kristen Stewart at the "Breaking Dawn - Part 2" Los Angeles Premiere (November 12).

An NIJ-funded survey conducted by the Police Executive Research Forum in 2011 found that agency policy was the second most important factor cited by law enforcement officers for wearing body armor. Safety concerns was cited as the most important factor.[1]

Designing comfortable, well-fitting armor for female officers is particularly challenging. However, many manufacturers will custom fit armor to the body contours of individual officers. Additionally, NIJ provides funding to the National Institute of Standards and Technology to develop standard definitions of body armor types and standardized testing methods for assessing the performance of contoured body armor designs for women.
Other actions that NIJ has taken to address issues that affect officers' use of body armor include:

Best Of :: People & Places
So, we're toodling along on Van Buren, not obsessing about sex for a change, when we pass a truck sporting a Statewide Erectors logo on the side and a large, green phallic erection in the bed. A double take showed the mechanical boner to be some sort of hefting device, but that didn't stop us from yukking up our Starbucks. Now, we all know that the good folks at this Phoenix sheet-metal-installation company couldn't have meant it, well, that way, right? What sort of entrepreneur, plotting the future of his new business, jumps out of his seat and shouts, "Eureka! I'll call it Statewide Erectors and install large, green phallic erections in the truck beds"? We have no idea, but we salute his unwitting humor. However, he owes us a Starbucks.
If you've ever felt the overwhelming need to be the center of attention (and the gaping stares of other people don't bother you), then visit Easley's Fun Shop. The Valley's most renowned costume store is a veritable freak factory, with hundreds of crazy getups within its yellow walls, not to mention the wacky wigs, madcap masks, and other outrageous accessories. Want to shock your friends on Halloween? Rent the "evil clown" ensemble. Got a gonzo costume party to go to? Slip on a pimp costume and also grab a John F. Kennedy mask for some wry political satire. The possibilities are limited only by your imagination, bub, because sometimes it's more fun being a freak show than seeing a freak show.
Considering the way our city has expanded over the past few decades, with people relocating from other states, sometimes it's hard to tell who was born here from those who've moved here. We've figured out a surefire way of determining who's a native and who's a Johnny-come-lately: Ask them about Legend City. Only true OG's born and raised in the PHX will remember going to the Valley's version of Disneyland, which was located near 56th and Washington streets on the border of Phoenix and Tempe from 1963 until it was felled by a wrecking ball in the early '80s. The joyous joint was filled with themed areas devoted to Arizona's Wild West history and culture, like Indian Country and Boom Town.
We've got childhood memories of bombing around the park, lining up for the spookiness of the Lost Dutchman Mine ride, floating down the River of Legends, or spinning around on the Krazy Kups until we were green in the face. Our first chance to meet Wallace and Ladmo also came at Legend City, as the hosts of the renowned local children's show were regular visitors, holding a live stage show weekly and handing out their coveted and candy-filled Ladmo Bags. Thankfully, the park lives on through Web sites (www.legend-city.com) and even its own MySpace page (www.myspace.com/legendcity), where former patrons leave loving devotions, like the one from a dude who wrote, "Legend City is truly legendary." Word.
Technically, Laurie Notaro moved away from Phoenix years ago. Yet she keeps coming back, usually in the form of her essays and fiction, now found in seven books — with more to come. In her latest, Flaming Tantrum of Death, Notaro proves you can judge a book by its cover (we always love her covers) particularly if you read the subtitle: "Reflections on revenge, germophobia, and laser hair removal." That's quite a trapeze act, we think. And obviously Notaro thought the same, given her cover art.
Fuzzy hair, bulbous nose, comically pompous, attorney Dennis Wilenchik had all the makings of a clown even before he pulled out ethical stops and went after New Times. As Sheriff Joe Arpaio's well-paid attorney on the taxpayers' dime, Wilenchik had learned from the harlequin-supreme. Nobody sports a bulbous red nose and a potbelly, while acting the fool, better than ol' Joke.
Even before Wilenchik put his big clown shoe in his own mouth in the New Times case and a judge put her stiletto up his ass, it was as if Joe were conducting clown college and Dennis was star student. Wilenchik went after Joe foe Dan Saban with the vengeance of Heath Ledger's Joker in The Dark Knight, trying to get him fired from his job, bringing up Arpaio's smear campaign against Saban to practically anybody who'd listen. (It was right out of Arpaio's playbook.) Denny was all about extra-legal activities only tangentially related to his defense against a slander lawsuit Saban filed against the sheriff because of the bogus smear. That Wilenchik won that suit on technicalities must have emboldened him to take up his buffoonish mentor's cause against the alternative newspaper-thorn in the sheriff's backside.
We can just imagine him popping his suspenders with glee when ringmaster Andy Thomas asked him to enter the bit tent and attempt to tame New Times. The problem here was that County Attorney Thomas was asking Wilenchik to go into the lion's cage with whip and chair, and he was but a pitiful clown, prone to clown-like antics — such as trying to influence the presiding judge over the New Times case and ordering the arrests of the paper's owners for writing a story a story about abusive grand jury subpoenas he'd issued from a grand jury that didn't actually exist.
The capper was that the subpoenas demanded not only NT journalists' notes and communications regarding Arpaio, but the Internet-viewing habits of readers who'd clicked on the paper's coverage of the withered law-clown. All perfectly fine in the funny-haired world in which he and Arpaio reside, but unwise when handling big cats. He was reprimanded by the judge, and fired as special prosecutor by his beloved ringmaster — after public opinion took a big bite out of both their bozo asses. Raar! The result is that Wilenchik and Thomas are under investigation by the Arizona Bar Association, and we hope that these scary scaramouches get a good legal whacking. Now that would be funny.
If any of your candy-ass, 'fraidy-cat friends are too terrified by the Desert Storm's towering appearance to consider riding the 90-foot-high roller coaster (the biggest in the state), tell 'em the ride lasts only about a minute and a half, from start to finish. A mere 90 seconds. About as much time as it takes to nuke a microwave burrito. Although you may wanna skip over the part about how there probably won't be any time to be scared, as they'll likely be too busy screaming their lungs out in terror while zooming along 2,000 feet of steel track (including the initial drop of 85 feet) and blasting through two vertical loopty-loops at around 50 miles per hour. With that whole "nothing to fear but fear itself" thing going on, the less they know, the better. Besides, once they've busted their cherry and ridden it at least once, we're sure they'll be hopping back in line to go again.

Allergic conjunctivitisConjunctivitis - allergic seasonal/perennial; Atopic keratoconjunctivitis
Allergic conjunctivitis occurs when the clear layer of tissue lining the eyelids and covering the white of the eye (conjunctiva) become swollen or inflamed due to a reaction to pollen, dander, mold, or otherallergy-causing substances.
When your eyes are exposed to anything to which you are allergic, histamine is released and the blood vessels in the conjunctiva become swollen. Reddening of the eyes develops quickly, along with itching and tearing.
The pollens that cause symptoms vary from person to person and from area to area. Tiny, hard-to-see pollens that may cause hay fever include:
- Grasses
- Ragweed
- Trees
The amount of pollen in the air can affect whether you develop symptoms. There is more likely to be increased amounts of pollen in the air on hot, dry, windy days. On cool, damp, rainy days most pollen is washed to the ground.
Allergies tend to run in families, although they are not inherited in any obvious way. It is hard to know exactly how many people have allergies, because many different conditions are often lumped under the term allergy.
Symptoms may be seasonal and can include:
- Intense itching or burning eyes
- Puffy eyelids, especially in the morning
- Red eyes
- Stringy eye discharge
- Tearing (watery eyes)
- Widened (dilated) vessels in the clear tissue covering the white of the eye
Exams and Tests
Yourhealth care providermay look for the following:
- Certain white blood cells, called eosinophils
- Small, raised bumps on the inside of the eyelids (papillary conjunctivitis)
- Positive skin test for suspected allergens on allergy tests
The best treatment is to avoid what causes your allergy symptoms. It may be impossible to avoid all of your triggers. However, you can often take steps to reduce your exposure to triggers such as:
Lubricating eye drops can help decrease symptoms. You can relieve discomfort by applying cool compresses to the eyes. Over-the-counter oral antihistamines can provide more relief. However, they can sometimes make the eyes dry.
If home-care measures do not help, you may need treatment bya health care provider. This may include:
- Antihistamine or anti-inflammatory drops
- Mild eye steroid drops(formoresevere reactions)
You may also use eye drops that prevent certain white blood cells, called mast cells, from releasing histamine.These drops are given along with antihistamines for more severe symptoms. They work best if you take them before coming into contact with the allergen.
Outlook (Prognosis)
Treatment often relieves symptoms, but they can return if you continue to be exposed to the allergen.
Possible Complications
There are no serious complications, although discomfort is common.

Fears, Faith, and Fantasies
Womanly Wisdom
Attitude alone won't make your labor and childbirth easy and uneventful. But, whether your labor is difficult or relatively easy, nature has given you the tools to handle the experience.
We all go into labor for the first time with no real idea of what lies ahead. No one can really tell you what labor is all about. You'll no doubt hear horror stories from some of the veteran mothers you know, and from others you'll hear fairy stories—about someone's perfect little angel child who was so considerate as to pop out almost unnoticed. Although the process is basically the same for everyone, each woman's experience is uniquely her own. And unlike that metaphorical skydiver, you can make some choices that put you in charge of your birth experience—you can empower yourself beyond your fear.
To Medicate or Not to Medicate
Giving birth is a natural process, but what's called natural childbirth is the experience of labor and delivery without the use of any medication or anesthesia. Instead, you rely on natural methods of pain relief achieved through breathing and visualization.
Labor does hurt, and everyone has a different threshold for pain. Fortunately, many pain-management options are available to you—you're not restricted to the standbys of traditional Western medicine. Take, for example, the alternative approaches to childbirth that have been drawn from the folk medicine of non-Western cultures. Herbal remedies are commonly used during pregnancy and delivery among Native American groups, and herbs and techniques from traditional Chinese medicine provide alternatives to western medical practice. If you are open-minded and curious, these options are well worth researching. But use good sense in checking out the credentials of any person who offers alternative treatment. Anything you do during pregnancy and delivery will have an impact on your baby and on you.
Making It Easier on Yourself
The most important thing to do is to relax and worry less about the process. Childbirth is something that's been going on for eons and will continue to occur long after your childbearing years are over. Your mind and your body are totally connected, and if you are worried and anxious when it is time to give birth, you will make your body tense and your contractions will be that much more painful. You are capable of talking to your body and telling it to use its natural pain relievers to ease your process.
Momma Said There'd Be Days Like This
My first labor lasted 14 hours. I wasn't in what they call active labor the entire time, with the contractions coming fast and furious, but I was in labor. It was tiring and frustrating and I wanted to kill my husband. I was given some pain medication that made me fall asleep between contractions. The nurses woke me up in time to push when the baby was ready to be born and I must say, even though I accepted pain relief, I have never experienced such an amazing natural process.
An epidural block is a form of local anesthetic that numbs your body from the waist down but leaves you completely awake and aware of what's going on around you.
Natural versus Nurturant Labor Styles
There are some very good reasons for wanting to prepare yourself to give birth naturally, without the use of pain relief or local anesthesia. These are the two reasons most commonly cited by women who choose natural childbirth:
- By skipping pain medication you can be more aware of the birth process.
- Babies delivered without medication are more alert, since there are no drugs to get into the bloodstream.
This sounds great in theory, but natural childbirth is not for everyone. You could have an exceptionally long labor, or a low threshold for pain. Both are perfectly valid reasons for wanting some pain relief. You are not going to win any good-mommy awards and your child is not going to be admitted to Harvard simply because you experienced the full sensation of labor pain.
The Choice Is All Yours!
Many women like the idea of natural childbirth—they see it as very empowering. But it is not easy. Because so much anxiety is brought on by the fear of labor, you need to make a plan you're comfortable with, so that you can stop worrying. If you are nervous about delivery there are options for you, such as pain medication or an epidural block. Your doctor can explain these options to you so that you can make your own decision.
All you really need to remember is that this is your childbirth experience. No one, not even the father of your child, can tell you what is best for you. Discuss your options with your doctor, and then choose the approach to handling the pain of delivery that best suits you.

SAINT LEO, Fla. - About a year ago, the NCAA publicized a campaign for college athletes to "go pro in something other than sports." The campaign featured advertisements and commercials that stressed the "student" factor of being a student-athlete because, in all reality, a very small percentage of college athletes will ever have the opportunity to play at the professional level.
The campaign's main concern was to focus on education as a student-athlete, rather than only focusing on playing sports, since the main reason for going to college is to receive an education that will help to earn a career in a desired field. It seems that some of Saint Leo University's athletes took this public service announcement to heart; in fact, it seems that they are living by it.
Last week, Saint Leo University announced that five students were selected to receive special university scholarships to fund their participation in the Washington Center National Convention Academic Seminars. The same five students will be participating in the seminar in Tampa during the Republican National Convention from August 18th to the 31st. What's cooler than having five Saint Leo students participate in the Republican National Convention? Only the fact that three of the five students are athletes.
That's right. Sophomore women's lacrosse player Nicole Sirota-Plotnikov, Junior women's swimmer Katie David, and Junior men's cross country runner Eric Dirth were all selected to participate in the Washington Center Academic Internship program at the Republican National Convention during the month of August. The two-week internship, which will require attendance at lectures and field placements at work locations, will allow the students to gain more knowledge about the political process while simultaneously witnessing it in action. After a further review of the applications, Washington Center personnel will place the students in specialized areas based on their interest, talents, and background.
Whether it's a race, meet, match, or Republican National Convention, Nicole, Katie, and Eric are sure to do Saint Leo University proud. After all, most college athletes will go pro in something other than sports.

POMONA -- By the start of the 2013 high school football season, students and fans at Diamond Ranch, Garey and Pomona high schools will have modest but improved athletic facilities that will allow them to host home games.
Pomona Unified's school board recently adopted environmental impact documents for each of the projects.
Board members also awarded a bid for the $12.1 million project to Park West Sports Systems, Inc. of Rancho Santa Margarita.
The board also authorized Leslie Barnes, the district's assistant superintendent for business services and chief financial officer, to sign necessary documents associated with the project, according to a district staff report.
"This is something we've been working on for so long," said school board member Adrienne Konigar-Macklin, who was school board president in 2011 when she proposed pursuing the field improvements.
The field improvements will require some adjustments, such as students who play spring sports having to train on different parts of their campuses or train at middle schools, Superintendent Richard Martinez said.
Arrangements will also be made to accommodate meets and other competitions.
Pomona Unified representatives will speak with administrators of neighboring colleges such as Mt. San Antonio College and the University of La Verne to see if the district can use their athletic facilities when the affected high schools are set to host competitive event, Martinez said.
The district has been working since fall 2011 to bring modest football stadiums to Pomona, Garey and Diamond Ranch high schools.
District representatives recently ran into problems linked to the placement of bleachers and concrete work for visitor seating at the Diamond Ranch High field.
Plans called for building seating along the northern edge of the field where concrete structures already exist.
School district personnel later learned the weight of additional concrete needed to build seating and the weight of audiences could damage the existing concrete work.
Modifications to the seating plans were made, and, in early March, the state Department of General Services Division of the State Architect granted its approval.
The state agency oversees the design and construction of K-12 schools and community colleges.
The modification are expected to allow fans to have improved views of the fields.
All three of the high schools will have improved fields and tracks, lighting and scoreboards by fall as part of the first phase of a two-phase plan.
Restrooms and snack bars will be added as part of a second phase set to be completed by the start of the 2014 football season.
Barnes said the deadline for completing the project will begin soon.
The improvements will be paid for using bonds from the 2008 voter approved Measure PS.

Hi all,
I joined an mma gym two months ago, decent facilities, bit small.....the lead instructor has some decent claims however every time I go to a lesson i find that im learning off the person ive partnered up with in oppose to any of the staff.
Sure theyll make drills up to do during lessons etc but in about 70 mins, we would have only been shown one maybe two takedowns....i dont know it just seems rushed and everything just seems shown rather than taught.
Also the gym are running instructor courses for satellite gyms etc. This is bad as they say you only need 6 months experience to attend....plus if im paying £50 a month to train i dont want to be taught by someone who has just been taught a syllabus and has had 6 months experience in total.
Only problem is its the only place around my area to train really.....so what do i do.....i pay £50 a month for TWO lessons a week only and it feels like im not learning anything..and when i do ive learnt it from my partner and not the staff.....
any advice or opinions are appreciated.

Ley Fletcher is in his fifth year as the head track and field coach, and first as the head cross country coach at Lees-McRae.
In his second season, Fletcher continued to build upon the Bobcats' success from the previous year, guiding the Lees-McRae men's team to its second straight Conference Carolinas Championship and the program's first-ever NCAA Division II Southeast Region Outdoor Championship. For his efforts, Fletcher was named the conference and region coach of the year for the second straight season.
Fletcher's indoor teams posted a tremendous 2010 season, as the men's and women's squad finished the campaign ranked first and second in the region, respectively. The men's team also boasted one national qualifier as Fletcher was named the 2010 Southeast Region Indoor Track and Field Coach of the Year.
The 2010 men's team also boasted one All-American and one national qualifier as the Bobcats finished 64th at the national championship meet in Charlotte, N.C. Fletcher's women's team also had a successful season, finishing third in the conference and winning the Southeast Region Championship, earning Fletcher Women's Southeast Region Coach of the Year honors.
Fletcher took the Bobcats to new heights in his first season, leading the men's team to the Conference Carolinas Championship while garnering conference and NCAA Division II Southeast Region Coach of the Year honors. His women's team also finished third at the Conference Carolinas Championship Meet, and went on to place second at the NCAA Southeast Regional.
Prior to his arrival in Banner Elk, Fletcher spent seven years at the helm of the cross country programs at conference foe Coker College. During his time at Coker, Fletcher led the Cobra men and women to the top in both Conference Carolinas and in the Southeast Region. As recently as 2006, Fletcher led the Cobra men to a third place finish in the conference and a fifth place showing in the region, while the women finished as high as fourth in the conference and sixth in the region.
Fletcher's commitment to academics is impressive as well with eight Academic All-Americans during his time at Coker, two All-Region selections and numerous All-Conference members.
Before arriving at Coker, Fletcher spent three years at Meridian Community College as the Head Track and Field Coach. In the spring of 2001, his men's track team finished 21st in the country, placing four student-athletes on the NJCAA All-America Teams. The Meridian women posted an impressive season in 2000 under Fletcher's direction, finishing 16th in the outdoor championships.
In 1999, the Meridian men's track team finished fourth in the country at the indoor championships and ninth at the outdoor championships. During the 1999 season, Fletcher had the privilege of coaching nationally ranked long jumper Miguel Pate, who went on to represent the United States at the 2008 Summer Olympics.
Fletcher attended the University of Mississippi before graduating from Athens State College with a degree in Physical Education. He is a USA Track and Field Level I and II Track and Field certified coach.

The battle of the brands was in full force between Ford and Chevrolet during what is now called the "golden age of classic cars." Both motor companies fought each other for market share with new features and designs. Ford almost lost that battle to Chevrolet in the early 1950s. But then came the Ford 1955, which offered a new design and boosted engine.
The new Fairlane car line turned heads when it replaced the Crestline as the top-trim level, while a new Crown Victoria-style featured a chrome "basket handle" across the familiar "Victoria" hardtop roof. The 1955 Ford also featured the new panoramic windshields found on Oldsmobiles, Buicks and Cadillacs the previous year. Also that year came a new feature, although only as a dealer option: seatbelts could be installed as well as a feature called "Select Aire," which had an integrated heater core and evaporator coil unit within the dash and cold air discharge vents located on top of the dashboard on either side of the radio speaker. The feature would go down in history as air conditioning.
Station wagons were offered as a separate series for the first time in 1955. The Ranch Wagon and Custom Ranch Wagon, for example, were two-door wagons, while the Country Sedan and Country Squire models were four-doors wagons, the latter featuring wooden appliqué side mouldings that would be the signature feature of the line.
