ST. CLOUD, Minn. (AP) More financial aid is coming for part-time, working students in the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities system.
The Legislature approved $24 million in new aid for these students, who are often older than traditional full-time students and juggle jobs with coursework to pay the bills. Those students are becoming increasingly common at MnSCU schools.
As they've been calculated, need-based state grants for part-time students are less than proportional to the aid they would get if they were going to school full time. For instance, a student taking 60 percent of a full-time courseload didn't get 60 percent of the aid they would get as a full-time student. But most of them will now get aid proportionate to what they would get as a full-timer.

Prince Philip Cracks New 'Joke'!
Philip launches into remarks during hospital visit
Yes, he's back on form. Prince Philip on a vist to a hospital the other day gave one of his famous remarks when he told a Fillipino nurse her country must be 'half-empty' as all her country's people were "here, running the NHS."

Join Us for the First Southern Literary Salon of the Season:
Eudora Welty: Mississippi Myth
January 27
We return to our popular Southern Literary Salon for a look at the ever-changing vision of the Pulitzer Prize-winning, life-long daughter of Jackson, Mississippi.
Please join us for Eudora Welty: Mississippi Myth at Nancy Copp's hidden though welcoming Germantown home on Friday, January 27 from 6:00-8:00pm.
The evening features fun Southern food, conversation, thirty minutes or so of readings from Welty's works, and a mixed spirit of the author's liking. Tickets for the Welty Salon only are $55 and include all of the above. Tickets for the Welty and Flannery O'Connor Salon (April 21), when purchased together, are only $100 (a savings of $10).
Curated and read by TSC artist Stephanie Shine, assisted by actors Dan McCleary, Jillian Barron, and Marquis Archuleta, Mississippi Myth will employ text from among Welty's works, likely including her short stories in A Curtain of Green, The Wide Net, and The Golden Apples, and the novels The Ponder Heart and award-winning The Optimist's Daughter.
Welty (1909-2011) described writing fiction as "a personal act of vision." She was widely popular as a writer and photographer from her lifelong home in Jackson, though her literary home seemed to be nestled in experimentation. Her vast skill-set ranged from comedy to tragedy, realistic to surreal, fiction to biography, fairy tale to history. Welty was recognized for her work with 40 major literary awards, 38 honorary doctorate degrees, and the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
"It had been startling and disappointing to me," wrote Welty, "to find out that story books had been written by people, that books were not natural wonders, coming up of themselves like grass. Yet regardless of where they come from, I cannot remember a time when I was not in love with them -- with the books themselves, cover and binding and the paper they were printed on, with their smell and their weight and with their possession in my arms, captured and carried off to myself. Still illiterate, I was ready for them, committed to all the reading I could give them ..."

Sierra Boggess, Broadway's Original Little Mermaid, to Headline Eighth Annual Gala
Broadway's critically-acclaimed, soaring soprano Sierra Boggess (The Little Mermaid, Phantom of the Opera, Les Miserables) will headline its Eighth Annual Gala performed at Germantown Performing Arts Center on March 10 at 6:00 pm.
Ms. Boggess will perform her one-hour show, Awakening, as the Gala centerpiece on stage at GPAC. She will sing from her own Broadway and West End shows, as well as songs from other award-winning musicals.
The Gala benefits TSC's innovative Education Program.
Sierra Boggess is best known world-wide for re-inventing the role of Christine in The Phantom of the Opera. Composer Andrew Lloyd Webber calls her "the best Christine certainly." She played the role in the Broadway, West End, and the televised 25th Anniversary concert productions of Phantom filmed at London's Royal Albert Hall (available on DVD).
She made her Broadway debut as Ariel in Disney's The Little Mermaid, receiving Drama Desk and Drama League nominations, as well as the Broadway.com Audience Award for Favorite Female Breakthrough Performance. Her additional Broadway credits include the revival of Master Class starring Tyne Daly, It Shoulda Been You, and School of Rock.
In the West End, Ms. Boggess appeared as Fantine in Les Miserables, and she originated the role of Christine in Love Never Dies, the critically-acclaimed sequel to The Phantom of the Opera, receiving an Olivier Award Nomination for her performance.

The evening celebrates, in true Italian wedding style, the decorative holiday season. The actors, as masked revelers, perform the play in their formal eveningwear and double into their second roles with holiday masks for the occasion.

The "Boston Magazine" list was taken from a survey conducted by Best Doctors, a Boston based company founded in 1989 by two Harvard Medical School affiliated physicians. Each year, Best Doctors polls the medical profession, asking, " If you or a loved one needed a doctor in you specialty, who would you choose?" Only physicians identified by their peers in previous years as the "best doctors" receive the "Best Doctors in America" survey by which the new best doctors are chosen. As Best Doctors states, "Doctors have a unique "inside" perspective about who's at the top of their profession, who's up on the latest advances in their field, and therefore, where they personally would turn for state-of-the-art care when faced with a serious medical problem."

PC World explains the subtle but significant change. In Leopard, adding pages from one PDF into another was a matter of grabbing those pages' thumbnails from the Preview sidebar and dropping them in above or below the thumbnails in another document's sidebar. Not so in Snow Leopard: Advertisement Advertisement The trick is to drag thumbnails on top of a thumbnail in the document you're dragging to. This combines the pages.

text: We are so proud to welcome a new addition to the Upland Tropical Rain Forest exhibit – a Linne's two-toed sloth was born in late August! The baby is the first born to Ivy, one of the four sloths in the exhibit, and is the third sloth born at National Aquarium. During a daily routine checkup, National Aquarium staff observed Ivy carrying a newborn. The baby was born fully haired and already had its trademark claws! Staff are keeping a close eye on the two and have spotted the baby actively nursing. Upon initial observations, the baby sloth seems strong and healthy, and is actively clinging and crawling about on its mom. Animal care staff suspects the baby will continue to cling to its mother for the first several weeks of life. Sloths can remain dependent on their mothers for up to a year. As time goes on, the young sloth will begin exploring its immediate surroundings and eating solid foods. Linne's two-toed sloths are commonly found in South America's rain forests, where they spend their entire lives in the trees. They are nocturnal by nature, fairly active at night while spending most of the day sleeping. Adult sloths are typically the size of a small dog, approximately 24–30 inches in length and about 12–20 pounds in weight. Sloths have been an ongoing part of the animal collection at National Aquarium. The two oldest sloths currently living in the rain forest, Syd and Ivy, were acquired in May 2007 from a private captive breeder in South Florida. The other two sloths, Howie and Xeno, were born at National Aquarium in 2008 and 2010, respectively. "Despite the fact that the two-toed sloth is a fairly common animal, many of its most basic behaviors are still a mystery because they are rarely observed," commented Ken Howell, curator of Rain Forest Exhibits at National Aquarium. "We're thrilled to welcome the new baby to our family and we hope that it will increase awareness and interest in this group of most unusual mammals." Ivy and her new infant are free roaming in the Upland Tropical Rain Forest exhibit and will be particularly good at hiding in the trees for at least a few weeks. Stay tuned for more updates about our newest addition!

Dionne Warwick has broken her silence on the death of her cousin and close friend Whitney Houston -- and she shared their final conversation during an interview today with Good Morning America.
"I spoke to Whitney the day that she passed," Warwick said. "I spoke to her that morning. She said, 'You're here, aren't you? You're coming to the party, aren't you?' I said, 'Yeah, I'm going to be there' and she said, 'Thank you, I want you to be here. You've got to be here for me.'"
Houston was scheduled to appear at Clive Davis' annual Grammy party, held the night before the awards in the same hotel where the singer died. Warwick was to accompany her.
"I spoke to her that afternoon once I landed in L.A. and that was it," Warwick, 71, explained. "She was so up and ready and happy. She had everything in the world to live for. She had a new film that was an absolute dream to make and do. She was getting ready to go back into the studio to record. She was getting her vocals together."
Just a short while later, Houston lay lifeless in her bathtub, thought to have been felled by a fatal combination of Xanax and alcohol.
"It's very, very surreal. It hasn't really sunk in yet," Warwick said, calling Houston, "the little girl I never had."
"I have not had an opportunity to really mourn or completely break down, which I will do, I know that."
Meanwhile, she's busy making sure Whitney's mom Cissy Houston and daughter Bobbi Kristina have all the support they need.
"I am so proud of her," Warwick said of Cissy. "She has her moments, of course… but I think she's coming to terms with it, just about now, the realization that it has happened -- it's not an easy thing for a parent to lose a baby."
Bobbi Kristina, who just inherited her mother's entire fortune, is getting plenty of help, too. "That's the one thing I love about my family," Warwick said. "We are family. She has the support that she actually needs."

Draft Memories: Jack Skille
by Staff Writer / Florida PanthersJack Skille poses with Dale Tallon after being drafted seventh overall by the Blackhawks in the 2005 NHL Draft (Getty Images) |
One of the lesser-known impacts of the NHL's lockout during the 2004-05 season, was the odd draft that it led to. With no results to use as guidance, a system of ping-pong balls was used to determine which team would pick where. And strangely enough, instead of the big production that an NHL Entry Draft usually is, this one was unique in its simplicity.
Behind the closed doors of a private "green room" inside of a hotel in downtown Ottawa, Jack Skille was chosen seventh overall by the Chicago Blackhawks. He then went onto the University of Wisconsin, where his dramatic triple overtime goal helped his Badgers win a national championship.
Now, just six years later, Skille has been traded from the Blackhawks to the Florida Panthers, and is reunited with the man that drafted him. Skille takes the time to look back on the very unusual draft, and other fond memories during his ride to the NHL.
FloridaPanthers.com: How's your offseason going?
Skille: "It's going well. I'm just starting up the work outs again after a couple of weeks off after the World Championships. Getting back into the swing of things."
FP.com: How was the experience of the World Championships?
Skille: "It was awesome – a lot of fun. Good hockey. Great team. We had a character team over there. Everyone got along. It definitely made the experience a lot better."
FP.com: So you've got the new two-year contract. Excited to be coming back?
Skille: "Yeah, absolutely. I'm really excited. I can't wait to get back down to that sunny weather, even though it's getting nice in Wisconsin. It was a good time while I was there last season. I'm looking forward to some good hockey."
FP.com: You were drafted back in the 2005 draft. What was the process like?
Skille: "I remember the combine and everything leading up to that. How nerve-wracking it was being so young and going into the lion's den with all those teams. I think I had around 27 meetings, just because it was the year of the lockout so nobody knew what order they were going to be in.
"I met with pretty much every team and it was really nerve-wracking. I remember going into Chicago's meeting just because Dale was there – and it was one of those teams that just made everything light and fun. I remember that really well. I know that as a young guy, you're so nervous going in there and talking to the big dogs like that. It was a good experience – definitely an experience that I'll write down as one that made me way more mature, going through the process."
FP.com: Were there any teams – I guess Chicago would be one of them – that showed particular interest in you?
Skille: "I'd say Chicago showed a lot. Columbus did too. Like I said though, it was really a crap shoot because no team knew what order they were going to go in. I knew I was projected right around the first round somewhere. So I really didn't know where I was going to go, or who was going to pick me. Each of the 27 meetings was just as important as the next."
FP.com: The 2005 draft was a very odd draft, being after the lockout. It was in a hotel lobby and not open to the public. Can you talk about some of the things that made the draft so odd?
Skille: "It was an extremely odd draft because of that. It was in a hotel – usually you see it in a big arena and see the guys get their names announced and standing up in their rows and hugging their families, and it's on TV. It wasn't that for us. We were in a back room – they called it the green room. We sat down at all these round tables, like dinner tables, in a hotel with our families and agents and whoever was there with us. When you got announced, there were a couple of TV cameras, so they were kind of giving away who was going up next. Once I saw a camera pointing at me and my table, I was like "No way," it was the seventh pick, Chicago. Nothing could have been better at that point, since it was so close to home. I hugged my family, walked up on stage, and it was just kind of like an auditorium type thing at the hotel. Everything was a little bit different, just because it wasn't in a big arena. But it was still a cool experience, no matter what."
FP.com: Did you end up making any friends with anyone in your draft class?
Skille: "The great thing about my draft class is there were a lot of guys that I played with during the season that were involved in that draft. Jack Johnson, Ryan Stoa; I knew Bobby Ryan really well. There were a ton of people that I played with or against throughout my whole career in my age level. That draft, they only picked first round guys and maybe a little bit of the second round. So, having Stoa, Johnson and Ryan there, it was a good experience – having guys in there with you that you knew."
FP.com: Where's the draft jersey?
Skille: "It's at my house right now, actually hanging up in a closet with all my other jerseys. I just moved into a new house, so I've got to figure it out – get all the jerseys that mean a lot and frame them up and hang them up on the walls.
FP.com: So obviously you have a relationship with Dale Tallon. He drafted you and now he has traded for you and you're back with him. Can you talk a little bit about your interactions with Dale and what you think about him?
Skille: "I think when Dale's being discussed, everyone tends to agree that he's an extremely positive person. He knows the game well and how to get the right personnel together. He did it in Chicago; the team he put together just before he left was an outstanding team. He knows how to do it, and the best part about him is the players and everyone in the locker room believes in him. They know that he cares about them, and the sport, just as much as they do. I think that's a huge part of the game – having a good locker room, and making sure everyone gets along. Everyone from the organization – from the high part of the management, all the way down to the players and the staff – everyone is on the same page. And I think Dale does a good job of making that happen."
FP.com: I read about your famous triple overtime, game winning goal for Wisconsin, when you guys beat Cornell 1-0 in the Midwest Region final. Can you give me a little reminiscing about that?
Skille: "That was a marathon of a game. Looking back, it's almost painful (laughs). How much of a struggle it was. I just remember some of my teammates out there, cramping up, not being able to go out, literally crawling off the ice to get into the player's bench. It got to the point where it just seemed like you were stuck in the ice – you couldn't move. It was such a mentally taxing game.
"I remember right before we went out for the third overtime. The assistant coach came up to me and said, "You know what, I think you're going to score this goal." I get goose bumps thinking about it. I remember thinking "No way, you know, okay I can do it." He gave me that extra, and it sounds cliché, but that extra drive. When you're playing that long in a game, you don't really think I'm going to be the guy to do it, but you really know you're going to give your best effort. That really gave me a little more of a drive. I hit a couple of posts earlier in the game. But it made it more realistic for me, when I went out there in that triple overtime and I got that opportunity.
"It was an unbelievable pass by Josh Engel. I remember it to this day – can see it happening, unwinding. Pavelski was changing, I went on the ice, and Mckee (the goalie) rimmed the puck around the zone. It was going out of the zone, but Engel, our defenseman, pinched down, on his off side, and picked the puck off with his backhand. I can't believe to this day how he did it because it seems like an almost impossible play, and he just one-touched it off the boards right to me, right in my wheelhouse. I was right there, no one was guarding me, and McKee must have been out of position because he just rimmed the puck. All I was thinking was, "Hit the net." And it went in, and I couldn't even make it back to the bench to celebrate. All the guys cleared out.
"I still get goose bumps thinking about it, but it really wouldn't have happened if Josh Engel didn't make that great play."

I read a book once. It was all downhill from there.
When a little plastic stick told me a baby was on the way, I gave that solid pink line a fake smile and swallowed some panic. This would be the first of many improvisations as a mother to be followed by a steady pace of acting the part. I researched the role of Mom, reading every last word of every last parenting book I could get my swollen hands on. I learned what to expect (the unexpected), how to origami hog tie my bundle of joy (the artful swaddle), and even devoted one horrifying evening to paragraphs on how to nurse my down and out post-labor vagina bits back to health (kegel party…not unlike but totally unlike a keg party). I spent nine months memorizing these lines just as I'd studied textbooks as a child. I would ace this test and look to the proud new papa to supply a golden star sticker for my scholarly efforts.
And true to books' accounts of human gestational periods, 40 weeks later a son was born. I was content to play this part, I decided. I was calm. I was educated. I was the boss of this motherhood deal. I was just about to give the room a tutorial on my boobs and how they can feed folks when the devil entered and wrecked the world. She claimed to be the hospital's Lactation Specialist. As I muffled giggles at what a doozy of a job that had to be, she showed me there was nothing to laugh about. This Ice Queen in sheep's scrubs slapped a frigid hand atop my bosom and pinched. Frozen Fire! I shot wide eyes at her, unsure of what I'd done to deserve such fresh a hell and also worried that I'd skipped a chapter on What To Expect When You're Not Expecting A Stranger Nurse To Tweek Your Lady Lumps. Without ever taking her gaze from my milk jugs, this cold stranger calmly stated what two years and one toddler later I know to be the truest of parenting truths.
A woman asked why I would supplement my infant's diet of breast milk with powdered formula. I read an article to be sure a few ounces of fake juice wouldn't hurt the hefty boy. A relative insisted sleep training my son would cause boat loads of harm to his development down the road. I read three books, two magazines, and one doctor's letter to be sure my kid wouldn't start killing people and kicking puppies as a result of letting him cry at bedtime. A friend insisted I only feed the young dude organic, steam-cleaned tofu something-or-another. I spent a day or five in the library to ensure that once-in-a-while meal of mac-n-cheese wouldn't cause the child to grow a tail. Homeschooled kids are better testers. Well-dressed Gap babies learn early on to make better first impressions than, say, small humans clad in discount duds. Children who play an instrument, speak a foreign language, and perfect circus tricks are much more likely to avoid a life of crime. And as I most recently discovered after reading Dr. Shefali Tsabary's The Conscious Parent, Shefali is a silly name, and children raised by highly engaged parents are scientifically proven to be 104.26% more successful individuals than those kids largely ignored by Mom and Pop. The doctor explains that when parents dedicate pure and singularly focused attention on their little ones, said younglings will become well-rounded, secure, and generally happy people. On the flip side, parents who are often distracted, flustered, and otherwise absent can lead to children developing behavioral issues. While I couldn't stomach spending $50 for a mini pair of designer skinny jeans or serving my kid a bland and boring plate of cardboard tofu for a snack, the idea of being a more active presence in my child's day didn't seem so out of the box. I would win Hands-On Parenting, I vowed. I would win Mom.
As a stay-at-home parent, my days were already focused around the smallest, soggy-drawered man of the house. If I wanted to truly dominate this interactive mompetition, I'd have to take it up a notch:
– I used his tiny toothbrush in an effort to bond. He spit and mumbled "icky". I like to think this was his incoherent sign of approval of my tartar-controlled show of solidarity.
– I get particularly hands-on at meal time. More specifically, I like to interact with his Happy Meal to show him that even this mama's taste buds are in sync with his. Su McNugget es mi McNugget… err something like that.
– Story Time for the supremely cohesive mom & tot crew is a joy. Ever the gracious one, I insist he read his favorite books instead of listening to my boring, old tale-telling. As he cannot speak English, I observe as he picks his nose and reads silently. Dr. Shefali's book promised brilliance, and despite the boogers and upside-down books, I just know we are getting there.
– Seeing eye to eye with a toddler is tricky, mostly because I am a solid six feet tall. So this hands-on mom got knees-on and spent one sunny Monday shuffling around on some halves of legs. The pint-sized precious thought this newest parenting trick a hoot for a few hours. He mimicked my broken gait and crawled about on his knees as well. To accommodate his shrinking I broke myself down to upper thighs and elbows and slid about like a fine, young Army recruit. But he copied as copy-cats do and slithered on his tiny arms. By noon we both flopped flat on our bellies unsure of the next logical step. Not to mention we'd yet to check the mail.
– Against all medical studies and parenting advice, I let my child watch TV. I remedy this alleged shortcoming by interacting the hell out of those colorful cartoons. Defying all sense of pride and rhythm, I make a point to participate in wild-armed, loud-voiced song-and-dance routines, joining the choir of limber Disney characters and encouraging my son to do the same. He sits still and staring at the floor most days with a demeanor some might mark as severe shame. I like to think he's studying the art of The Hot Dog Dance.
– We aren't your average couch potatoes, though, and some days stray from the sofa long enough for some lively, outdoor rumpus. To prove myself the ultimate interactive parent, I shove my person into wonderfully compromising positions for the sake of playtime. There is no Tonka truck I will not zoom, no puzzle I will not solve, no tunnel I will not squeeze through to show this boy his mom is all about some hands and putting them on his toys.
– So apparently the kid hates sharing his toys, and quickly begs to play the tantrum game. I oblige, matching his screams and wailing until we are both so engaged and interacting with decibels and fury, and I finally let him when we gets red in the face or cries or both. That, parents, is dedication.
– I, the much improved maternal robot, took to napping when he napped in the afternoon. I'd like to say I read somewhere that babies can sense a mother's moral support three rooms and two levels of deep sleep away, but mostly all this hands-on activity just wore me out.
– The rubber ducky, aptly named Dub Rucky, hijacks a neon race car and sends it flying into a sailboat just as the vessel capsizes from striking the massive tip of a wash cloth. I swirl my arms through the soapy water, showing my sudsy son how on my hands are by orchestrating elaborate toy scenarios. He shrugs, ready for the lights and my hands to shut off, yawning towards bed. He lathers and rinses his own hair. Repeats. Best not to interrupt the mama when she's interactive parenting.
Weeks of extreme hands-on parenting was exhausting. I was annoying myself and spilling obnoxious onto everyone else like a bottle with a busted nipple. Busted nipple. I found solace in this thought one night, two years and millions of failures after my first night as a mother.
This nurse, this stranger, she clamped my nipples with her frosty hands. I shot beggy eyes at her, silently pleading for her to go easy on me with the harsh words and harsher grip. I began to cry on mute, unsure if the titty twister or the imminent threat of bad news opened the flood gates. I held my son, a boy I had grown forever but only just met. She held my boob, a dry well which she seemed to be all too familiar with. I cried. She gave an exasperated humph and shook her head. I cried. She palmed my other boob and this newer, more arid blob seemed to infuriate her. I cried. It was the shame in finding you are so horribly lost when you could've sworn you knew the way. And as I wept tears flowed onto my chest cradled by a stranger. Perhaps the kindest words she could muster that night remind me today of why in life and parenting sometimes oblivious-&-winging-it is the absolute right wrong place to be:
"Ugh. You're doing it all wrong. At least you're trying, I guess."

Submission + - China's Premier Li Keqiang visits Chaihuo makerspace in Shenzhen (english.gov.cn)
Also become Chaihuo's first new member in 2015. 2015 is going to be a crazy year for Makers in China.
I got into Arduino last year while looking for interesting toys to play with my kid. Even I got a EE as part of my double CS/EE major 15 years ago, I haven't really done any electronic after college. Arduino provides a quick way to get started. Out of box with easy to use IDE, I can make stuffs entertaining my kid and myself in no time.
The experience getting into Arduino reminds me a lot of the beginning days of Linux. There are more mature commercial options out there (e.g. Solaris, IRIX, even HP/UX) and other competing open source like Net/FreeBSD. Even GNU/Hurd was making progress. But one thing Linux got was a friendly community of beginners. Going through the Arduino forum gave me the same feeling of going through Linux forum back in 95: a lot of excitement about this and willingness to help each other and share. That's defintiely one thing other communities lack. One gets "did you real the source?" reply posting anything to a BSD group.
That's almost parallel to where Arduino is today. There are no lack of better or cheaper alternative but most of them are either established embedded communities or serious lack of documentations. Not friendly at all for the beginners. Arduino gives the beginners a friendly place to get started.
And Arduino goes behind just a AVR based board. It's really a ecosystem with standardized IDE and peripherals. Most people's first critics of Arduino, especially those already in the hardware hacking, is the use of AVR and often cite 8bits and the shortage of AVR last years as problem with Arduino. However, I don't really see that as a short coming of Arduino. I just got a Leaflab's Maple which is a ARM based board with Arduino compatible pin layout and IDE. Getting my projects over to Maple from Arduino is smooth. I don't see Maple as a competitor to Arduino but a member of Arduino family.
The article is right on. There will be a lot of competitors now Arduino is on the spotlight but most of them will fail because they don't get the point of Arduino. It's not about raw CPU power or fine point of the system components, it's about community. And ones don't win the hearts of the community by belittle the community's core.

The place to be....for the Characters, Places & Things on Television
Arte Johnson's Tricycle - On the comedy variety program ROWAN & MARTIN PRESENTS LAUGH-IN/NBC1968-72 comedian Arte Johnson made bicycle riding history when he created the famous "adult on tricycle" skit. Dressed in a yellow raincoat, Arte Johnson's adult body precariously balanced itself on a child's tricycle. Furiously pedaling the trike, Arte suddenly came to a dead-stop, slowly tipped over and then lay silent on the ground, hands still gripping the tiny handle bars and feet still on the pedals. The skit spawned the phrase "pulling an Arte Johnson" that referred to someone who falls off his bicycle. And thirty years later, the skit is still popular and on the minds of Tom and Ray Magliozzi (a.k.a. "Click and Clack" on the PBS radio program CAR TALK. In May 1999, they referenced Arte Johnson's bike skit in one of their columns (http://cartalk.cars.com) that discussed speedometers and drive shaft speed correlations:
"To understand it better, think back to Arte Johnson of television's "Laugh- In," the guy who used to ride the little kid's tricycle across the stage. The equivalent of "drive shaft speed" is how fast Arte's feet are pedaling. So if his legs are turning 50 revolutions a minute, in one minute he can make it roughly across the stage at the NBC studios in "beautiful downtown Burbank."
But if he were on one of those old-fashioned tricycles with the HUGE front wheels, and his legs (i.e., drive shafts) were still turning 50 times a minute, he'd be out the door and halfway across the parking lot in a minute -- which means he'd be traveling a lot faster explained ...Now that's an extreme example. Plus, Arte's getting older now, and he probably doesn't get on a tricycle very often. But based on normal variations in available passenger car tires, your speedometer can be as much as 5 percent to 10 percent off for this reason.

TRIVIA NOTE: Dan Price, a 45-year-old Oregon man pedaled 4,250-mile cross-country on a tricycle trip to draw people's attention to the benefits of pedal power and gas-free travel. Riding an average of 50 to 60 miles per day on the 33-pound, 27-speed tricycle, Price pedaled from Oregon to San Diego, across Texas and through New Orleans, then through western Florida. He began his trip from his hometown of Joseph, Ore., on Nov. 1. 2002 and finished in Key West, Florida on February 14, 2003. Arte Johnson would be proud.

The Horse Forum
- Member Journals
- - Dude and I
Dude and I So uh..thought I might as well keep track of both our progress. :# 5.24.10 (yesterday) So, got to the barn around 16.20, and Mendi (BO) got home early, around 16.45 or so. She came up to the top barn around 17.00 and got the fan set up at the back of the aisle between the stalls and got the horses fed..I accidently fed Lucky the half scoop of sweet feed that was suppose to go to Toby instead of her senior, so she was a little more hyper than normal. ;-; I still feel bad. >.<;; She said it wasn't a big deal though.. So, I went to go put Dude's bridle on, which took about 5-8 minutes or so, because I wanted to make sure I didn't hurt his ears or get shoved into the wall again. ;-; I finally got it on and walked him down to the cross ties. I tacked him up, minus tightening his girth nice..Mendi helped me with that. I think I'm going to try to do it with my other hand tonight and see how that goes, and if I can get it tighter that way. The bolt on the right stirrup ended up popping off, and we couldn't get the thing to come far enough out of the stirrup so Mendi had to go down to the house and try to fix it. The stirrup ended up really wide (and they're already extra-wide stirrups D: ), so we have to cut it a little and redo it sometime this week.. So-Mendi worked on his sidepassing a bit, he's still not too great going to his left..so that needs work. I worked walked him around the round pen while Drew was using it with Toby (since he was an ass yesterday and tried tossing him) and then he let me in. I worked on trotting, I got both a slower trot and a working trot; I worked on posting and sitting for both of those. And then we decided to go on a trail ride. :# We went down the rockslide (had to make sure Dude didn't slide into Skippy, or Skippy probably wouldn't have been able to get back up. ;-; ) We came out at the other end of the hay field and walked along the side and up the hill. Btw-"we" is Mendi, Drew, Lucky's rider (can't remember her name. D: is sorries) and me..we stopped at the bottom of the second hill and waited till they were..mostly calm and we ran them up the hill. I'm actually rather proud of myself, since last time I ran, I wasn't very balanced at the gallop, but I was almost perfectly balanced (from how I felt) and I'm pretty sure my feet still stayed up by his girth. :3 The grass felt funny on my legs. XD Then we came back and hosed down Skippy (who didn't run, coz he's older and he probably would have died. ;-; He did really good on the trail though, coz he wasn't huffy almost at all), Dude, Lucky and Illusion. Skippy and Izzy were taken back down to the run-in. I went down to feed them..since my mum had been waiting down at the bottom of the driveway for 20 minutes. ;-; But I ended up not being able to coz Drew had flipped the hay holder thing (sorry I can't remember the name. *facepalm* and it's too heavy for me to get down alone..so I waited for him and we took it down and called the horses in to eat..We didn't let them in though, coz Skippy tried rolling, and ended up too close to the fenceline where he got stuck last time, and wouldn't get up. ;-; He just kept looking at himself like: I'm 'bout to die... ;-; So, we called Mendi down, Drew went up for the tow rope so we could pull him up from right beside the fence so he wouldn't get caught in it. Mendi, Lucky's rider (I still sorry D: ) and I flipped him over, so his feet/legs wouldn't get stuck in the fence when we tried gettin him up. And we all (Mendi, Latonya [Mendi's mum], Adario, Drew, Alija [don't know how to spell it]) ended up pushing him up and finally got him standing and we went to feed him. Then we locked everything up and finally got in the car to hear my mum hollerin' at me because Mendi asked for my help. >.o;; Skippy was down for a good 45 minutes, probably a little more. Mendi said sorry and thanks, I said sorry..does she not understand that just because I don't own the horse, it doesn't mean that I can just leave it to die at the bottom of the hill??? I thought it was just plain rude and inconsiderate. I was there, I helped, and it would have taken a lot longer since everyone that she could have called was either working or sleeping. >.<;; But yeah..that was yesterday. I do feel rather accomplished, I worked on my seat and position the whole time, I didn't just slack off coz I got sore. :3 Mendi was impressed, or atleast she looked it. lol I'm going again today..I don't think I'd mind another trail ride, or possibly some work on poles/stakes and barrles, since the show on saturday is a gaming show, and Dude has never done any of it, let alone been to a show. ;-; |
4.25.10 (yesterday) I feel **** well accomplished as of yesterday afternoon. ((: I felt that my seat was better, at w/t/c and then our little gallop at the end. We went for a trail ride for about 45 minutes, on all the newer trails (I did get a few ticks tryin' to latch on D: but I got them off before they got the chance..). We had to be careful on a lot of the parts, because we haven't went out and cleared the trees on either side of the path, so the paths are rather tight and it's easy to get them caught between your legs or bump into them. ;-; I ended up getting my knee shoved into a thicker tree, since Dude thought it'd be nice to let me get hit since I accidently kicked him twice while he was pissing (didn't realize he was, since I kicked him before he started actually peeing, and he didn't stretch out. o.O).. So-we went up the rockslide (trail hill with rocks all down the slope) and we cantered up that ( ;-; my stirrups need a hole shorter I believe, because my ass is already sore, coz it was rather bumpy. *dies*) adn then when we got to the trail head we waited for everyone (Mendi, Drew, Shayan [Lucky's rider, got her name now. :3] and me) and then we ran up the hay field back to the outdoor arena adn then down to untack. :3 I was balanced, heels down, etc etc on the whole trail ride (minus the one part where Dude went the opposite way when we were crossing the creek and made it harder on himself *rolls eyes*). But so-after we untacked, hosed them down and turned them back out we waited for Alaija and Adario to get back, and then we went on a quick hay run over to a farm a little ways down the rode because we were pretty much out of hay. ;-; We got 25 bales loaded up in the truck (Adario, Alaija and Shayan had an attitude about it coz it was hot. >.>;; ) but we took them back, baled them up in our loft (I'm surprised at how Alaija and Adario were trying to bale them. ;-; They were horrible, pretty much just tossed willy nilly. I mean, you live on the farm, you know you ought to do more work than you even do, you ought to work your horse more, etc etc and you can't even correctly bale 25 (split between 5 people, so 5 freakin' bales) bales? I find it pathetic..but I held my tongue and didn't say too much, other than they bale like shiit.) ;-; But see-I felt accomplished when I got home. I tacked up on my own (mainly, since Drew thought he'd mess up my girth and unclip my cross ties before I had this bit and reins on >.o; I'm not even going to ask him today when we go), stayed balanced, and did w/t/c, spins, turns, leg yields, and backs with Dude; and all with very little attitude, and a good bit of cooperation. (: Oh, and only 2 minutes [3 tries] to get his bridle on. |
listen..the date for the last one was suppose to be 5.25.10, not 4.25.10 XD 5.26.10 (yesterday) So..I tacked him up before Mendi got back from work and hopped on at 16.40 to get him warmed up, since she had a lesson at 17.00 so we were suppose to be tacked and out of the way. I warmed him up, just some circles along the edge of our indoor and some spins, backs and I attempted a sidepass..but he kept turning his forehand too far over, so after two-three steps I was like alright. ;-; I waited in the indoor for Mendi and her lesson to tack up, and then we went up to the outdoor to go out for a trail ride. Dude figured he'd stay back today though. >.o He backed, sidestepped and reared up twice, so I kicked him and pulled his face to the side to make him power walk the indoor, I did two circles with him and tried to take him back out and he tossed his head and sidestepped again, so I spun him and had him go the other way; he walked out of the gate nicely this time. :3 We started down on the trail, lost Bandit and Kaley in the field somewhere (the dogs), Bandit ended up goin' back down to the barn and Kaley was chasing things in the woods, we found her about half way through our trail. :3 Our trail was a good 45 minutes, almost an hour. We got up to the trail head and Drew and I decided we would walk down around the hay field and run up through, Mendi and her lesson went straight back up the hill since she had her lesson and didn't want her running yet. Told us to be careful and started walking back. I turned Dude's head and kicked him with my left and he started tossin' his head and sidestepping into the trees, and then reared. ;-; I ended up yanking his head back around and kicking him with my left to get him to go back down and follow Drew (since he had already started walking over on Sox). He calmed down after we got about halfway to the first hill, and we ended up running the second hill, Drew had to stop Sox though-since he turned into a hyper mess as soon as we took off, even though he was calm before. o.O; Dude had a great transition back down to a nice, strong walk. Drew ended up hoppin' in the round pen with Sox, because he was being an ass and started freaking out and wouldn't let Drew close the gate back up; I walked around while he cantered him in there. I would have taken Dude back down, but as soon as I took him to the other side of the outdoor where the gate down to the barn was he started acting up. I had him stand (barely) and then spun him and took him back down to the other side by the roundpen, since Drew was about done. I jumped in the round pen on Dude to work on our trot. He gave me trouble closing the pen gate, wouldn't stand still after I stood him next to it. e.o We worked on that both ways twice, I tried getting him into a canter once, but he refuses to canter in the round pen..refuses. >.<;; It took me about 10 minutes to get him out because he was pawin' at the **** fence and wouldn't stand still near the gate, and I refused to get off that horse just to open the gate back up. Finally got it open and went down to untack him. ;-; Then I went down and fed the three down in the run-in. Skippy's gaining a little more weight and muscle, but his hip bones are still there and his topline is crap. ;-; He gets double saddle pads and nothing more than a trot, but I still don't think he ought to be ridden, not really my say though. :/ But I think I did good last night, and I believe I handled his act ups quite nicely for how I've been told/shown adn how I think they ought to be handled. :3 |
5.27.10 (yesterday) I went out to the barn around 16.00, hungout with Drew in the bottom run-in while he worked on his drainage ditches, and I cleaned out the tub. Drew left to go get his haircut, I went on up to the top barn to wait for Mendi to come back so we could ride. I read my book for a bit while I sat on the bale in front of Toby's stall, he ended up getting a drink of water and then putting his head right over me. ;-; Just because I wouldn't rub his face. >.<;; I see how it is. lol Then I mosied back on down to the bottom barn, checked that no one was stuck in the **** fence again, and layed down in some hay and continued reading. :3 Erin and her mum ended up coming, let the dogs out when they went in the house to look for Mendi, who still wasn't back yet. ;-; She was about to come down and get Skippy to work with him, but I ended up grabbing him since I was down there and brought him up to her. I do find it funny that she refuses to walk the boy without a lead rope. He doesn't even need a halter on, he follows you like a puppy. I walked him up with my finger just touching his halter, so I could grab it if something spooked him or such. :# I had texted my mum so she could come get me in 20 minutes, but I texted her right after to say nevermind, coz I was gonna ride Toby since Erin's mum was there..she tossed her phone in her purse and didn't even get the text, so I didn't get to ride. *facepalm* I ran down to feed the horses, since I had 10 minutes and ended up running back up to the top to make sure I told Erin to feed Skip a whole scoop of senior, since he wasn't down there to feed. Then ran back down, Sox ended up gettin' about 1/4 scoop of Tunie's food because he pushed her out of the way. *headdesk* I chased him out, then I put Tunie and Izzy back out in the field, locked everything up and went home. ;-; Got in a fight with my mother because apparently if I say anything that isn't a direct answer to her question, then I'm disrespecting her, even when I already answered her **** question. >.<;; Tried tellin' me I wasn't coming to the barn tonight. Yeah, okay. *rolls eyes* But yeah..no ride for me, no work for Dude..I have a feeling he's going to try and be an ass today. ;-; |

Baylor's Perry Jones III to enter draft
Baylor forward Perry Jones III is skipping his final two seasons of eligibility to enter the NBA draft.
Jones made the announcement Monday in a statement issued by the school. He had returned for his sophomore season after being projected as a top pick last year.
Instead of becoming Baylor's first one-and-done player, Jones sat through a five-game suspension to start his sophomore season after the NCAA determined he accepted improper benefits before coming to Baylor.
The school's first preseason Big 12 Player of the Year averaged 13.5 points and 7.6 rebounds as the Bears reached the regional finals in the NCAA tournament before losing to national champion Kentucky.
As a freshman, Jones averaged 13.9 points and 7.2 rebounds.

Former RSS Pracharak K N Govindacharya on Wednesday slammed the Congress' effort to defend Emergency in its book 'Making of the Indian Nation' and described it as a very shallow political stance by the ruling party.
"The book is nothing but a very shallow political stance taken by Congress. It is an effort to defend the Emergency, which cannot be defended", Govindacharya said in New Delhi.
He was speaking on the sidelines of a press meet organised to give details about the 'Bharat vikas sangam' -- a movement aimed at devising methods on how to make the lives of common people prosperous.
Govindacharya also dubbed as "unjust" the Congress party's evaluation of the Jayprakash movement, saying, "It is a deviation from the truth and the statement that it was a foreign-inspired movement is such an unjust comment".
Asked for his views on senior Congress leader Digvijay Singh's statements linking RSS with the 26/11 Mumbai terror strikes, Govindacharya said, "Digvijay's statements are nothing but a political stance taken by Congress. They are trying to create a bogey out of RSS for minority vote bank appeasement".

For some time, whenever anyone asks me for a really good Merlot recommendation, I've been saying "Bordeaux." Too often, US Merlot wines are lacking…well… almost everything except fruitiness. I want a Merlot that tastes like well-made wine. That IS a well-made wine. And you have to go way up in price if you want to get that in the US. This week I opened a few different Merlots, and I started with the two lower-priced wines: both nicely crafted and both, surprisingly, $20 or under.
The first two were Bordeaux Supérieur wines. 2009 Chateau Timberlay: buttery, cheery, bright fruit aroma, with lightish tannins. Medium-light body up front but a more solid finish. The flavors deepened with food; great with a plain hamburger.
The 2009 Chateau de Bel "La Capitaine" was finely restrained in both its aroma and flavors. Mild dark cherry, cassis and some leather, backed by very nice tannins. Hamburger or steak would be great here.
Twomey's 2007 Napa Valley Merlot is a prime example of a US Merlot I would recommend. Across between red and black fruits, nicely integrated tannins. Moderate finish with a hint of cinnamon in its wood notes. Needs to accompany a little more complicated dish than plain meat; a beef stew flavored with onions, carrots and wine does the job nicely. Price? You have to go up; this one averages about $45.
Moving on to a less common American wine, I found a lot more fruit. I had pulled out a 2004 Dr. Konstantin Frank Merlot from the Finger Lakes, and found it bursting with fruit, pleasant and easy-drinking; quite a nice accomplishment in a Merlot from this area. And when I just looked up the price, it seems to go for only around $16 — fun if you can find it.

Air Force beats Ga. Tech 14-7 in Independence Bowl
SHREVEPORT, La. — Air Force was struggling to run the ball and failed to convert a few great opportunities in the passing game. Instead of growing frustrated and losing focus, the Falcons kept plugging along.
Their persistence paid off.
Air Force cashed in when Georgia Tech muffed a punt in the second half of the Independence Bowl, getting a go-ahead touchdown run from Jared Tew in a 14-7 victory Monday.
"Our discipline really shined in this game," Falcons defensive tackle Rick Ricketts said. "We liked our game plan going in. It was pretty straight forward, so it was just a matter of executing."
It was a matchup between the two best rushing teams in the country, but the game was largely decided by special teams.
Backup kicker Zack Bell converted the first two field-goal attempts of his career before Tew's 3-yard run gave the Falcons (9-4) the lead for good. Air Force's only touchdown came four plays after Daniel McKayhan's second muffed punt of the game — the third of four Georgia Tech turnovers.
"There's some poise that these guys have," Air Force coach Troy Calhoun said.
Georgia Tech's 327 yards rushing per game this season edged Air Force's 317.9 average for the nation's top spot. Both teams use a heavy dose of option, which often catches opponents off guard because it's a relatively rare offense.
But with each defense familiar with the scheme, there were no surprises, and both teams were held under their season rushing average — Georgia Tech with 279 and Air Force with 170.
Air Force's Tim Jefferson completed 11 of 23 passes for 117 yards. Bell's field goals came from 41 and 42 yards.
Georgia Tech's Tevin Washington rushed for 131 yards and Anthony Allen added 91 as Georgia Tech outgained Air Force 320-287. But the Yellow Jackets had three costly fumbles.
Georgia Tech (6-7) came into the game hobbled by injuries, academic casualties and misbehavior.
Joshua Nesbitt, the ACC's career leading rusher for a quarterback, missed the game because of a broken right arm. Top receiver Stephen Hill and starting safety Mario Edwards were among four players declared ineligible because of various academic issues.
The Yellow Jackets announced Sunday that defensive end Anthony Egbuniwe and defensive backs Michael Peterson and Louis Young would miss the first half because of a curfew violation.
Even with all those issues, Georgia Tech probably would have won if not for the turnovers. Instead, the Yellow Jackets dropped their sixth consecutive bowl and posted their first losing season in 14 years.
Bell's 42-yard field goal gave Air Force the lead in the first quarter, but Georgia Tech responded with a 12-play, 69-yard drive capped by Anthony Allen's 5-yard touchdown run. The clock-chewing possession was all running plays as the Yellow Jackets ran over and around the Falcons' defense.
Air Force was much more willing to take shots through the air, throwing 17 passes in the first half, but couldn't take advantage of its opportunities. Jonathan Warzeka dropped what looked to be a sure touchdown pass in the second quarter, and the Falcons couldn't convert on three fourth-down opportunities in the first half — including one that was well within field-goal range.
Bell's 41-yard kick as time expired in the second quarter cut Georgia Tech's lead to 7-6 at halftime.
The Yellow Jackets appeared to take control of the game in the second half, but a handful of crucial mistakes proved to be too much for them to overcome.
A nearly nine-minute drive opening the third ended when Washington fumbled on the Air Force 5. Then McKayhan's muffed punts — including the one at the Georgia Tech 14 that led to Air Force's winning touchdown — gave the Falcons terrific field position.
"It was kind of a microcosm of our season," Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson said. "It's hard to overcome all those mistakes."
After Tew's scoring run, the Falcons converted the 2-point conversion on a Warzeka run.
Georgia Tech had one last chance to tie it, but a last-gasp pass toward the end zone was intercepted by Jon Davis.

This is a summary. To read the whole story subscribe to BostonGlobe.com
NEW YORK — Bank of America will spend $9.33 billion to resolve a dispute over mortgage securities with the Federal Housing Finance Agency, the regulator that oversees Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
The agency sued 18 financial institutions in 2011 over their sales of mortgage securities to Fannie and Freddie. It alleges many banks falsely represented the mortgage loans behind the securities. These soured after the housing bubble burst and lost billions in value.
Bank of America said that it will make cash payments of roughly $6.3 billion and also purchase securities from Fannie and Freddie worth more than $3 billion. It is one of several banks to settle with the FHFA, which announced the agreement Wednesday.
