BRISTOL, Tenn. – The King Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) has named women's volleyball player Payton Tipton and men's soccer player Pete Griffith as the Student-Athletes of the Month for October. This is the first such honor for both student-athletes.
Payton Tipton, a sophomore from Cleveland, Tenn., has been a mainstay for the Lady Tornado defense from the libero position. In 11 matches during the month of October she totaled 168 digs, averaging 4.20 digs per set. Tipton also tallied 16 assists and put together a team-high 15 service aces in that time. She now has a total of 41 service aces on the season and 437 digs to lead the team as they head into the first round of the Conference Carolinas Tournament. She is currently fourth in the conference in total digs, fifth in digs per set (3.90), and fifth in service aces.
Pete Griffith, a junior from Ballyclare, N. Ireland, returned to the pitch with determination and help King end their season on a high note. In his third game back after battling injury, he scored his first of four goals on the season at Queens (N.C.). In the following match, he shored up a defense that pitched a shutout in the team's first win of the season, a 3-0 victory at Pfeiffer University. He then posted goals in each of his next two matches, including two goals on three shot attempts at Concord. In the Tornado's final two games, Griffith helped the team to a 3-2 win over archrival Lees-McRae and then a 1-nil win over Trevecca Nazarene in the season finale. His four goals over the eight-match stretch were the most among his teammates.
Last month, Joshua Feener (men's soccer) and Hannah Witt (women's cross country) were named the September Student-Athletes of the Month. The SAAC Student-Athlete of the Month award is voted upon by members of SAAC, representing all 24 varsity sports, during their monthly meeting.

Invite from the Health Sciences Team
I was recently at a beer tasting event at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, whereupon someone remarked that a particular ale had an aroma that smelled distinctly of melon. Now I've heard, especially in wine, how particular varietals can give off odors of pepper, leather, graphite, or barnyard animal. Am I to believe that a Northern Rhone syrah and a billy goat share a similar chemical makeup? What's the deal?
Great question! Why is there a barnyard smell in my $20 glass of wine? Well, as I mentioned in my last post (for Earl and Wim), odors are typically made up of hundreds of different volatile molecules called odorants. Each of these molecules has its own distinctive scent, but when blended together in specific combinations, they make up the scent of a more complex odor.
In the nose, each of these different molecules activate different sets of olfactory receptors cells and the collective activation of these different cells are thought to be converted into a code that the brain can use to identify and discriminate between different smells.
So why does your wine smell like barn? A given wine accumulates its distinctive aroma from several different sources during the wine making process. These sources are often organized into three major categories:
Now, why a billy goat smells like a chemical compound in yeast remains a question for another day.

Please do not forget the tenets of due process that underlie our entire legal system, or the compassion and caring for the welfare of children that underpin American society
Washington, DC (Vocus) December 13, 2006
"Raids by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials at meat-processing plants around the country yesterday clearly point out that our immigration system is broken and that America needs comprehensive immigration reform right now," said Carlina Tapia-Ruano, President of the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA). "By not having a reasonable immigration policy in place, we have created a system that practically begs for people to break the law."
AILA (http://www.aila.org) believes that what America needs is an immigration policy that allows companies to fill jobs with willing legal workers. A reasonable, orderly worker program would go far in helping to eliminate the dangerous human smuggling and border crossings that currently plague our system, and would also alleviate such related crimes as the use of false social security numbers. In addition, such a policy would significantly diminish illegal immigration by creating a legal avenue by which people could enter the U.S. -- something that barely exists today. In fact, current U.S. immigration law provides just 5,000 annual permanent visas for low-skilled "essential" workers, versus an estimated annual demand for 500,000 such workers.
"Once again yesterday's action by the federal government doesn't really address the deep problems plaguing our immigration system," stressed Tapia-Ruano. "AILA's hope is that when the new Congress convenes in January, it will act quickly and enact some type of comprehensive immigration reform."
AILA also calls upon ICE to ensure that the rights of the workers being rounded up are protected, and that attention be paid to the safety and welfare of those workers' children. "Please do not forget the tenets of due process that underlie our entire legal system, or the compassion and caring for the welfare of children that underpin American society," urged Tapia-Ruano.
Founded in 1946, AILA is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization that provides its Members with continuing legal education, information, professional services and expertise through its 35 chapters and over 75 national committees. AILA also advocates before Congress and the Administration, as well as provides liaison with government agencies in support of pro-immigration initiatives. AILA is an Affiliated Organization of the American Bar Association. http://www.aila.org

Board of Governors/State University System side-by-sides for Governor's proposed budget, FY 2012-13
Attached are the Board of Governors' side-by-side comparisons for (1.) university operating budgets, (2.) fixed capital outlay/PECO and (3.) the Board of Governors' general office budget. A few highlights in these different areas are below.
Universities' Operating Budgets:
• Overall, university state appropriations for next year are held flat – no base budget reductions.
• No base tuition increase.
• $1.9M in state funding for continued planned phase-in of the UCF and FIU medical schools with $6.5M in tuition budget authority (this was included in the Board of Governors' LBR).
• $3.3M for the FSU National High Magnetic Field Lab in preparation for the federal renewal process (this was included in the Board of Governors' LBR).
• $7.5M for Plant Operations & Maintenance (this was included in the Board of Governors' LBR) – this is routine expense category, such as utility bills, waste management, and other costs.
• $20M for increases in the universities/employer portion of contributions to the Florida Retirement System (pension fund).
• $18.8M to replace non-recurring appropriations received in FY 2011-12. (This is the net resulting amount that corresponds to the System having what would be considered a "level" base operating funding between the Governor's proposed budget as compared to the current fiscal year.)
Fixed Capital Outlay/PECO:
• No PECO funds – so no cash and no bonds. (The Board's LBR requested $22M in cash/non-bonded projects for deferred maintenance, and $122M in bonded projects for new construction and major renovations of existing facilities.)
Board of Governors' Office:
• 5 positions are eliminated from the Board's total FTE/full-time equivalent staff of 52 in Tallahassee.
• $207,254 in salary funds and general operating expenses are eliminated.

HTC has produced a handful of incredible Android-powered smartphones in 2012, but competition from Samsung and Apple has taken its toll on the struggling manufacturer. While the company's financial situation has been slipping over the past year, HTC has managed to remain profitable and is hoping to turn things around in the first half of next year.
According to Focus Taiwan, HTC is prepping for production for the HTC M7 — HTC's next flagship phone. The source also claims that HTC is working with its semiconductor and casing suppliers to secure enough components to build 4 to 5 million HTC M7s in the first quarter of 2013.
Details about the HTC M7 are still a mystery at this point, but it's safe to assume the device will outclass all of HTC's phones from 2012 and feature the latest version of Android. We assume the most powerful Qualcomm processor will also be included, as well as the amazing 1080p Super LCD3 display that's currently featured on the Droid DNA and HTC J Butterfly. The HTC M7 will most likely make its debut at Mobile World Congress in late February.
We know most of you are perfectly happy with Samsung leading the Android charge, but do any of you hope HTC can regain its past glory and keep the competition alive?

Problems with Temporary Dental Restorations
If you temporary crown comes off, do not worry. Simply put it back into place by applying Vaseline, Chapstick, toothpaste, or denture adhesive into the temporary and positioning it so that the tooth may remain in its position until you see name. You can test how it fits first before applying adhesive if necessary. Once in, bite down firmly on a dry washcloth to apply even pressure. Wait a few minutes then remove any excess adhesive but still contact your dental provider within the next few days to have it properly re-positioned.

I can't believe that it's been over a week since I last posted a recipe! It also seemed as though Easter was just a few weeks away-- and now, I realize that it's in just a few days.
It's that time of year, when work becomes really hectic until the Class of 2013 marches to Pomp and Circumstance. Once again, I will wave farewell to the students who have grown near and dear to my heart over the last four years. I am so looking forward to Spring Break, so that I can take a little breather from the business of work. I'm planning to stay-cation and to do a little catch up on chores. I have a backlog of savory recipes and baked goods that I'm anxious to share with all of you.
This is the ham that I glazed and baked, for last year's Easter brunch, but I never posted. Well, better late than never, right? I just wanted to show you how easy it is to turn a spiral cut bone-in ham into something that looks impressive, but isn't a whole lot of work. As tired as I get, this time of year, I need recipes that are easy to do.
homemade pineapple jam (a very easy recipe), dijon mustard and brown sugar. I didn't measure, but I can tell you I use about 1 cup of pineapple jam, 3/4 cup of brown sugar and a couple healthy tablespoons of Dijon mustard. I slathered the ham and loosely covered it in foil. Following the instructions that came with the ham, I set it on a roasting rack and warmed it at about 275F for about 1-1/2 hours. I removed the foil during the last hour and I though the ham glazed nicely. I was surprised at the drippings I found in the roasting pan.
I poured the drippings into a pot, add a bit of chicken stock and then made a quick cornstarch-water blend.
I loved how the asparagus had a delicate notes of lemon. Perfect.
I always post a printable recipe card at the end of each recipe post. If you cannot view it, you might be using an older version of Internet Explorer. You should be able to view my recipe cards with Safari, Mozilla, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer. If you still can't view the recipe card, all of my recipes are stored on Key Ingredient, by clicking here. If you still can't figure out how to view the printable recipe card, please email me at email@example.com and I am happy to help.

School reunions
we keep it simple
So often organising a reunion, centenary or jubilee sounds like an easy task, that is, until you're knee deep in registrations with no way of managing the incoming money! What should be an enjoyable event has the potential to turn into a headache for organisers when it comes to managing and tracking registrations, budgeting and managing and promoting the event. It is easy for even the most organised committees to get swamped in their everyday lives and for a reunion to play second fiddle (as it should).

GARCIA CHECKS IN: French designer Jacques Garcia has decorated hotels in Paris — including fashion favorite Hotel Costes — but he's really always had a thing for New York City. Now, with Manhattan's NoMad, Garcia gets to bring his signature style to a Gotham hotel for the first time. "New York has always brought me luck," said Garcia, whose private clients include the Sultan of Brunei. "It all started in the Eighties with Sotheby's, Danube was a great success in 1990 and Spice Market brought such enthusiasm in 2000," he said of his other New York projects. "In 2010, I have a new dream for the city and this hotel." The 12-story NoMad Hotel, which will be on Broadway and 28th Street, will have 160 rooms and 11 suites with loftlike open plans. It is to open in fall 2009.

IN THE BAG?: Could Akris, the Swiss maker of luxury clothing, be mulling an eventual foray into accessories? According to sources, the firm has been in acquisition talks with Comtesse, a small but elite German handbag maker favored by international royals.
INTERIOR DESIGNS: Kris Van Assche might have his own label and be the creative brain behind Dior Homme, but he is also something of an art aficionado. The Belgian designer has commissioned an installation by 30-year-old Italian artist Andrea Mastrovito, who is known as Mastro, for Dior's Rue Royale store, which will be unveiled Thursday.
TAILOR PAID: Economics aside, once you go bespoke, you never go back. That's what the Paul Smith bespoke team is hoping as it heads to New York for only the second time. In May, the tailors brought their services to Paul Smith's store on Greene Street, marking the first time customers — men or women — could order the designer's bespoke suits in the U.S. About two dozen customers availed themselves of the service, with prices starting at around $5,000 a suit. Their devotion may be tested in the current trading environment, however. Appointments are open today through Thursday. "We're not looking to grow that business by leaps and bounds, but we're looking to maintain it," said a Paul Smith spokesman.
TAILORING TACTICS: Aiming to bring the tailoring tradition to university students, Brioni, the Italian luxury men's wear label, has signed its second consecutive partnership agreement with London's Royal College of Art and will sponsor its men's wear fashion design course for three years. Brioni's master tailor will work with the college in deciding on the year's curriculum, as well as teaching students the trade. In order to complete their degree, students will spend a week of hands-on tailoring at the Brioni Tailoring School in Penne in Abruzzo, halfway down Italy's boot-shaped peninsula. Upon completion of the degree, three students will be selected by a panel of industry experts and a prize for their work will be awarded in Milan during men's fashion week next June. Last year's laureates displayed their creations in the windows of London's Harrods, Takashimaya in Tokyo and Bergdorf Goodman in New York.

We plan to be in our new location in March 2013!
River Vale, New Jersey (PRWEB) January 03, 2013
Eleven years ago, Mindy Mosca, proprietor of Mindy's Munchies, in River Vale, NJ, took a hobby and built it into a dream. She is now expanding that dream to a new, larger retail store two doors down from her present location. "The business has grown so much that we need more production and shipping space to fulfill our chocolate orders."
During the holiday season, the store is buzzing with activity and loyal customers enjoying holiday shopping. The signature chocolate covered pretzels, grahams and marshmallows are surrounded by chocolate filled gift baskets, platters and boxes. All of Mindy's Munchies are hand-dipped on premise and special orders are always welcome. This year, Mindy has added gifts, novelties and themed platters that can be filled to order with chocolate. Since the store ships nationally, a large majority of orders are placed online, especially those from corporate clients. Business has grown so much in the last five years that it now takes two FedEx trucks to pick up the orders at the end of each day.
Mindy credits the reach of their website in driving marketing efforts, as they continue to expand their product line. However, many customers still call the store directly for one-on-one service when placing an order or inquiring about specialty orders. Because of the popularity of e-commerce over the last 10 years, customer service has deteriorated. However, Mindy's dedicated, knowledgeable and caring staff provides customers with the one-on-one service that they desire. "Our customers have come to rely on and value the service that we offer, since time is taken to personally see each chocolate order from creation to delivery," Mindy attests.
The new location will open in early spring 2013 with all of the same atmosphere that Mindy's loyal customers have come to love: the smiling pig-tailed girl on pink polka-dotted walls, outdoor and indoor seating, and candy and treats to satisfy any sweet craving. In addition, there will be a separate space for children's chocolate-dipping parties which have become a signature event for Bergen county residents. Most importantly, the production space will be doubled, allowing Mindy and her staff to more easily handle the overwhelming amount of orders, especially during holiday season.
As business grows, Mindy plans to open smaller satellite locations in the Bergen county area, with the new River Vale location as the flagship store and producion facility. Mindy intends to grow the chocolate-dipping business at her steady, consistent pace, keeping her focus on the customer and the product. "As I notice similar businesses popping up which mimic my product line, I know that I am doing something right. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery!"
Mindy's Munchies is an example of small business at its best: a great idea, a solid business plan, inexhaustible dedication, tremendous focus, superior customer service and a loyal following. The logo's smiling pig-tailed girl invites us to watch this business as it moves into the future and continues to grow – one chocolate covered pretzel at a time.
Mindy's Munchies, a woman-owned business, is located at 215 Rivervale Road, River Vale, NJ 07675 / 201 664 1650. In addition to chocolate covered treats, strawberries, nuts, fudge, chocolate platters and assorted chocolate gifts, the store sells coffee, fresh cupcakes, and signature apparel.

Harry Stamps: Goodbye to DST
By: Legacy Staff
5 years ago
As most of us are struggling, albeit happily, to "spring ahead" – rising an hour earlier, adjusting to darker mornings and lighter nights – there is one anti-DST protester who has just said good-bye to all that.
Harry Weathersby Stamps died Saturday, just before he would have had to adjust to another round of clock manipulation.
In his obituary for the Sun Herald in Gulfport-Biloxi, Mississippi, his daughter Amanda Lewis wrote, "He particularly hated Day Light Saving Time, which he referred to as The Devil's Time. It is not lost on his family that he died the very day that he would have had to spring his clock forward. This can only be viewed as his final protest."
Describing her dad as a "ladies' man, foodie, natty dresser, and accomplished traveler," Lewis has written an obituary that has "gone viral," making its delighted way into email in-boxes around the country, perhaps the world.
PHOTO COURTESY AMANDA LEWIS: Harry Stamps rests at a campsite. 'This is a picture from my childhood with daddy at Indian Creek the campground in North Carolina,' daughter Amanda Lewis says. 'Note his elastic waist shorts and T-shirt in full swing in the 1970s. In the background is our starter tent before the upgrade to the used pop up. Blow up the picture and you can see where he used colored tape on the tent poles as his marking system to know which pole went to the right pole.' (Photo via Sun Herald)
"I've been getting emails and texts from all my friends and my sister is on Twitter and we are shocked at what people are saying," Lewis said the morning after the wake. "We've gotten calls from people all over the country who he taught…I am so joyful for him…it just tickles me."
Lewis said she wrote the obituary in the car as her family drove from Dallas, where she is a lawyer, to Mississippi when the doctor said the end was near. "My mom is the exact opposite of my dad, very proper and this just wouldn't be her style. I wasn't sure she would let me run with it but it's who my dad was."
Stamps packed a lot into his 80 years. Here are some of the highlights:
Harry was locally sourcing his food years before chefs in California starting using cilantro and arugula (both of which he hated).
He had a life-long love affair with deviled eggs, Lane cakes, boiled peanuts, Vienna [Vi-e-na] sausages on Saltines, his homemade canned fig preserves, pork chops, turnip greens, and buttermilk served in martini glasses garnished with cornbread.
The women in his life were numerous. He particularly fancied smart women. … He married his main squeeze Ann Moore, a home economics teacher, almost 50 years ago.
He taught [his daughters] to fish, to select a quality hammer, to love nature, and to just be thankful. He took great pride in stocking their tool boxes.
Harry took fashion cues from no one. His signature every day look was all his: a plain pocketed T-shirt designed by the fashion house Fruit of the Loom, his black-label elastic waist shorts worn above the navel and sold exclusively at the Sam's on Highway 49, and a pair of old school Wallabees (who can even remember where he got those?) that were always paired with a grass-stained MSU baseball cap.
Harry traveled extensively. He only stayed in the finest quality AAA-rated campgrounds, his favorite being Indian Creek outside Cherokee, North Carolina. He always spent the extra money to upgrade to a creek view for his tent. Many years later he purchased a used pop-up camper for his family to travel in style, which spoiled his daughters for life.
He despised phonies, his 1969 Volvo (which he also loved), know-it-all Yankees, Southerners who used the words "veranda" and "porte cochere" to put on airs, eating grape leaves, Law and Order (all franchises), cats, and Martha Stewart.
In a final tribute to a dearly beloved Southern character, the obit concludes: "… the family asks that in honor of Harry that you write your Congressman and ask for the repeal of Day Light Saving Time."

1) Talha ibn Ubayd-Allah was one of the Companions, one of the first people to have the honor of becoming Muslims, after Abu Bakr and Uthman, as followers of our Prophet (saas), who was tortured as a result and demonstrated great heroism in defending the Messenger of Allah (saas) at the Battle of Uhud. Talha ibn Ubayd-Allah caught the arrows fired at our Prophet (saas) by a sharpshooter called Malik ibn Zubayr in order to protect him; his fingers were cut to shreds and he was left one-handed. He received some eighty injuries in this battle, suffering spear, sword and arrow wounds all over his body, though he never left the Messenger of Allah's (saas) side, but always sought to defend him. When he gained consciousness, the first concern of Talha ibn Ubayd-Allah, who fainted from loss of blood when Abu Bakr and Sa'ad Ibn Abi Wakkas reached the Messenger of Allah (saas) was about the Messenger of Allah (saas) rather than himself.
2) Another example of the elevated self-sacrifice displayed by the Ashab al-Qiram is that because of their love of Allah, fervent faith and devotion to the Messenger of Allah (saas) even those companions who were still children or those who were very weak because of old age wished to join our Prophet (saas) in battle. Abu Sa'id al-Khudri, who was too young to participate in the Battle of Badr, asked the Prophet's (saas) permission to take part in the Battle of Uhud, but remained in Medina together with other very young people like himself, at the order of the Messenger of Allah (saas).
3) With his joyous faith and eagerness to win the approval of Allah, Amr Ibn al-Jamuh, who was very old and also crippled in one foot, also asked our Prophet (saas) for permission to take part in the Battle of Uhud, and was martyred in it. Abu Talha, who fought alongside the Messenger of Allah (saas) until his death, and then with Abu Bakr and Umar until their deaths, was determined to fight alongside the Muslims one more time, despite his advanced age, and was martyred in the sea during the course of the battle.
4) In addition to children and the very old, another group who were prominent in terms of purity, courage and self-sacrifice in the time of our Prophet (saas) were devout female believers. One of these exemplary women was Um Umara Nasiba Bint Kaab. At one particularly bloody moment in the Battle of Uhud, in which she took part by distributing water and bandaging wounds, she utterly unselfishly fought against someone who attacked the Messenger of Allah (saas):
Nasiba bint Kaab, who swore the oath of allegiance to the Messenger of Allah (saas) at Aqaba, vowing to "protect the Messenger of Allah (saas) as they protected themselves, women and children," saw at one point that the fighting was turning against the Muslims and that the enemy had concentrated around the Messenger of Allah (saas); grabbing a sword she rushed to the defense of our Prophet (saas). Nasiba bint Kaab was one of the people who surrounded the Prophet (saas), alongside other of his companions, using their bodies as shields in order to protect him, and she received many wounds.
5) One of those exemplary Muslims who always considered the security of our Prophet (saas) before that of themselves, their clans or their families was Iqrima ibn Abi Jahl. Iqrima ibn Abi Jahl, the son of Abu Jahl who was known for his hatred and enmity toward Muslims, took part in the Battle of Yarmouk against the Byzantines in the time of caliphate of Abu Bakr. The self-sacrifice displayed toward one another by Al Haris Ibn Hisham, Suhayl Ibn Amr and Iqrima Ibn Abu Jahl, who were severely wounded in the fight, is narrated as follows:
In the Battle of Yarmouk, Harith Ibn Hisham, Iqrima Ibn Abi Jahl and Suhayl Ibn Amr all fell to the ground severely wounded. Harith Ibn Hisham asked for water to drink. One of the soldiers brought water to him. When he saw that Iqrima was looking at him, he said, "Take this water to Iqrima." As Iqrima received the water he saw that Suhayl was looking at him, and he declined the water, saying, "Give it to Suhayl." But Suhayl died before the water could reach him. At that the water-bearer ran to Iqrima, but Iqrima had also died. He ran over to Harith, but he had expired, too.
6) The courage and altruistic moral values of Musa al-Ash'ari are described as follows:
Abu Musa al-Ash'ari relates: We were fighting alongside our Prophet (saas). There were six of us. And we had a camel. We rode it in turn. Our feet were ripped to shreds. Both my feet were swollen and I had lost my toenails. We therefore wrapped my feet up in bits of cloth. That is why that battler is known as "Zat ur Riqa" (The Battle of the Rags.) (1)
7) After losing his right arm to a sword thrust at the Battle of Uhud, Mus'ab Ibn Umayr held. When a second sword thrust caused him to lose his left arm, too, he acted as a shield for our Prophet (saas). He was eventually martyred as the result of a spear thrust while defending our Prophet (saas).

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - The No. 2 Alabama football team practiced in full pads on Thursday afternoon during its second practice since returning from Christmas break in preparation for the Discover BCS National Championship Game.
The Crimson Tide worked for two hours inside the Hank Crisp Indoor Practice Facility as the team's focus has begun to shift to Notre Dame and the challenges the Fighting Irish will present on Jan. 7.
"We started to do some game prep this week, which is important," Alabama head coach Nick Saban said. "We are going try to give the players the best tools we can to help them be successful in the game, but when the game comes they will have had to prepare correctly so that they can go out and execute the things they need to do to use those tools to their advantage."
Alabama returned to the practice field Wednesday evening for a 90-minute workout inside the Hank Crisp Indoor Facility in shells (helmet and shoulder pads).
The Crimson Tide has two more workouts scheduled for 2012 with practices on Friday and Saturday. The team will have Saturday and Sunday off before returning to preparations on Tuesday, Jan. 1. Alabama will also practice on the morning of Jan. 2 before departing for Miami that afternoon. The 2013 Discover BCS National Championship Game will be played at Sun Life Stadium in Miami Gardens, Fla.

When does Trash Talking go over the line?
Is there such a thing as trash talking going too far? I know that Rose and Webber were really into trash talking, and Michael Jordan was also a master at it.
In the ESPN article on the Gholston suspension, there is a comment about the context for the punch to Lewan:
Gholston, a sophomore and a starter, said in a statement that he was provoked to react.
I get that Glolston was provoked. I also get that on the field, some players would do anything to gain an advantage. Does that mean anything can be said? I'm thinking about next year. Can Lewan say to Gholston, when they're on the ground after a play, just the two of them, [EDIT: My original hypothetical example was over the line for several bloggers, so I am striking / editing it. My original question, BTW, is not about what Lewan said or didn't say. I'm not speculating on that. I'm interested in whether or not trash talking can go too far.] "You're a ******* ****** ******, and your mother is a cranked out ****** ***** who'll do anything for her next fix. She'd even **** *** if someone paid her enough." Can Lewan do opposition research and throw out insulting but true statements about Gholston's relatives or friends or history to provoke Gholston to punch again?
Obviously, we're not talking about any public statements . . . the players know that you can't do politically incorrect things. But tactically, would players do something like that? I can easily imagine that there are some guys out there that have no personal boundaries.
Myself, I think things like that go over the line and are just wrong. But I can easily imagine some guys being big enough tools to do that kind of trash talking. More than once, I've seen Lewan described here as a "nasty" player who likes to ride donkeys, and he's not an idiot. He knows that the refs will be watching for Gholston, and all he has to do is pull Gholston's chain enough to get him ejected from the game.
I guess I'm wondering if players nowadays have an internal code tacitly agreed upon about what is ok and what is over the line, and not ok.

The Hewitt Gallery of Art is a laboratory for and an extension of the pedagogy of the Art Department program.
The Gallery provides opportunities for art majors to gain first-hand experience in exhibiting their Senior Thesis projects, as well as having solo exhibitions in their spring semester. Juniors also exhibit in an annual group exhibition and students are able to curate and organize shows in conjunction with their mentors and the Gallery Director.
The Hewitt Gallery of Art, comprised of the Esplanade and the adjacent Black and White Galleries in Nugent Hall and Carson Hall, offers the Marymount Manhattan community exposure to professional artists and to the larger art world.
The Gallery is known in the New York art community as an alternative exhibition space showcasing contemporary art of emerging and mid-career artists. Innovative and challenging works of art reflecting a wide range of concerns and styles are presented in changing thematic exhibitions. Recent professional exhibitions have been Altered States, Art & Politics: See it Now!, The Selfie & Others, Self-similarity in Math, Nature and Art, and The Mind's Eye: Sight & Insight.
In conjunction with the exhibitions, gallery receptions give students the opportunity to engage with professional artists, critics, collectors, and curators. Many of the exhibiting artists are also guest presenters in our Art and Art History classes.

 "I wanted to understand the day to day operations, the way the individuals in the studio facilitate [conceptual artist Matt] Mullican's practice, as well as how that artistic practice functions as a business. As a young artist beginning my own career, looking at an uncertain future, these questions are of some immediate concern. In all, it was a wonderful experience that has taught me a great deal about my chosen profession, and I hope never to lose the lessons I learned, or the friends I made." ~Internship with the Matt Mullican Studio

 The faculty at MMC have always supported me, allowing me to shape my education both inside and outside of the classroom. As an undergraduate, I completed three internships, a teaching assistantship, and studied abroad in London, Belgium, and Italy; upon my final semester, Art History Professor Adrienne Bell helped me plan and execute an honors project that aligned with my interests in writing, research, curating, and digital art history.

 The opportunities that MMC has provided helped me prepare for graduate school in art history, which I will begin this fall at Hunter College, and further for my current positions as a senior production assistant and contributing writer at the Brooklyn Rail and gallery intern at Paul Kasmin.

 "I still cannot believe that I have had this amazing experience. I remember the first day like it was yesterday. Walking into the Conde Nast building on August 22nd was the beginning of a brilliant experience that I will never forget. Successful people surrounded me as I stood on the elevator waiting to reach my destination. I read all of the businesses on each floor as the numbers reached higher to Teen Vogue. Finally the elevator stopped ant the 10th floor. The doors opened and I nervously but excitingly entered….On my right side were the doors to Allure Magazine, to my left the beautiful glass doors of TEEN VOGUE. This began my journey of the most nerve wracking, but brilliant internship yet."

 In the fall of my junior year, Professor Adrienne Bell helped me to secure an internship with Jo Wood-Brown, a multi-media artist; I helped her to research lectures that she gave at galleries throughout the city and I assisted her with personal studio projects for her upcoming exhibitions. After the semester was over, I not only gained a mentor-student relationship but also a special and important friendship that I will cherish for the rest of my life. Without Marymount Manhattan, I would never have had such a life-changing experience.

 "When I started my internship in the American Paintings Department at Christie's, I was overcome by the scene that had played out in front of me as I sat in my first sale. My immediate reaction was quickly emailed over to Professor Adrienne Bell, who had helped me to secure the internship. She gleefully shared the same excitement. When I graduated, I was offered a paid internship at Godel & Co., another prestigious American Art gallery in New York. I chose Marymount Manhattan College because they understood the value of a small community that fostered intimate relationships between students and educators. I would have never had this kind of success had it not been for the environment that was provided by the College and the prestigious educators they employ."

 In Fall 2016, I started my second year in the Master's program in Creative Publishing and Critical Journalism at The New School for Social Research, where I am also working toward a certificate in Gender and Sexuality Studies. At the same time, I am an Associate Editor at Punctum Books, an independent publishing house that specializes in art and literary titles. I am also a Teaching Assistant for an undergraduate course in the History of Modern and Contemporary Art at Parsons School of Design. Although I majored in Communication Arts, it was Professor Adrienne Bell's Survey of Western Art I that triggered my interest in building a career in the arts. As I led my first group discussion at Parsons, I inevitably thought of my first class with Professor Bell and how my interests, since then, suddenly became very clear to me. With this TA experience, I hope to get my students (sophomores) as interested in the subject as I was when I took my Art History classes at MMC.

 "During my time at Marymount Manhattan, I was able to complete four internships. The first was at Free Arts NYC, followed by the Antiquities Department at Christie's, then the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and finally, The Solomon R Guggenheim Museum. The hands-on experiences and the combined support from my Art History professors at Marymount and my internship supervisors gave me a strong base on which to begin my career. I was offered a paid position in the Education Department at the Guggenheim after my internship and am now considering graduate school to further my education in the field."

 "Some days it was overwhelming…at my internship with Cosmo, I learned more than I ever could have imagined. I developed more skills in InDesign and Photoshop. I got very excited when the designers asked me to change or place photos in the layouts, because I got to see my work printed in the magazines. France Salvosa, senior designer, who designs the beauty pages would ask me to go through the beauty stills and find products that she wants to use in her layouts. Racheal Moore, senior designer, who designs the fashion pages would ask me to scan fashion ideas and place them in her folder on the server. My overall experience at Cosmo was amazing. Everyone treated me with respect, and would always say thank you after I did anything for them. Cosmo has definitely inspired me to work in the magazine business."

 "In the fall semester, I was an intern for On Art with artist and curator Viviane Silvera.  On Art specializes in taking collectors to galleries and artists' studios, where Viviane gives talks on the artist and attendees have the chance to meet and speak with artists and learn about the contemporary art world. As an intern for Viviane Silvera, I took away many professional experiences lessons, and I grew as a person. I've learned to become a fast, adaptable learner, to take things as they come and to never doubt myself. I had the extraordinary opportunity to go for 5 days to Art Basel Miami Beach, the most important international art fair in the U.S. The experience furthered my passion and determination to create a career in the art world."

 "Interning with Jo Wood-Brown–an internship I got through Professor Bell–was an experience that I will always cherish. I learned so much and made great contacts while working with Jo. During my semester, I assisted Jo in preparing and executing her lecture circuits. I helped to prepare for a group exhibit at the Painting Center and a panel discussion at the Metropolitan Museum and Art. Jo was such a joy to work for; she was warm, generous, and provided great insight into the art world. I have used the skills that I developed while working for Jo in my current career. As Department Manager for Hirschl and Adler Modern in New York, I work a lot with artists. I was so fortunate to have developed an understanding of the artist's perspective from my internship experience."

 After graduating in 2014 with a BA in Comm Arts, and having taken Professor Rachel Brandoff's Art Therapy class my last semester, I wanted a to pursue a career in the field. After I graduated, I went back to MMC, taking courses in both psychology and studio art in order to attain the pre-requisites for graduate school. With the support of the psychology and art professors this last year and a half has been the most enjoyable educational experience of my life.

 MMC fostered my passion for art therapy and provided me with a road map to a successful future. I will be attending the Master of Professional Studies in Art Therapy and Creativity Development at Pratt Institute to begin by studies in fall 2015!

I graduated from Marymount Manhattan College in January 2013 with a major in Studio Art and a minor in Art Therapy. Since then I have been spending much of my time in the beautiful section of New York called the Bronx, known for hip-hop and street art.

I am currently working at the Bronx River Art Center (BRAC) in the Teen Project Studio program. The main goal is to introduce design and artistic drafting to the youth. In addition to this I also split up time helping BRAC to put on their art gallery shows every other month at their studio space nearby. I am really thankful everyday for the teachers and students in the Marymount Manhattan Art Department for preparing me to be so comfortable and focused in this type of work environment.

Even now as I continue my own personal art career path, I feel more and more confident with the choices I make and how I want to shape my future into a successful and fulfilling one.

My latest column discusses how older generations must help dislocated young adults now – or forfeit their own financial well-being later. If you want to know what it's like to look for a job today as a young adult, read this e-mail from a frustrated but very eloquent 29-year-old. His name has been left out so as not to prejudice his job search.
Hi Rob,
I thought I'd thank you for digging into the issues facing Millennials (a term I abhor, but anyhow) as they finish school and enter the workforce. Perhaps that should read "enter the ranks of the unemployed," but for some incomprehensible reason, I'm still hopeful. Don't worry though, it's fading fast!
My story's about the same as most, but I'm hoping that it might shed some light on some other issues that we face in working with what we've been dealt. I finished up at university at about the same time that Lehman Bros. went under, after having seen the very obvious warning signs at Bear Stearns et al. Admittedly, this wasn't great timing, but I thought that with a lot of hard work, sacrifice, and a bit of luck, things would work out alright. What I got instead was this:
- Short-term contract position after short-term contract position.
- Wages that weren't at all related to the realities of short-term contract positions, ie: way too low to make up for the short-term, no-benefits nature of the work.
- Experience that was almost completely unrelated to anything I was interested in, career-wise.
- Hiring freezes at a ludicrous number of places.
- A complete inability to "grow up," so to speak
At the age of 29, I've likely forever lost the following opportunities due to cost and probable inability to make up for lost wages and career potential:
- Getting married.
- Having children.
- Owning a home that's bigger than 500 square feet. (hint: that's not big.)
- Studying any more, whether that means grad school, law school, or even just night classes at a random community college.
- Retirement. Sure, I'd love to be investing for it. But with what money?
Am I bitter about all of this? Not entirely, because it all just sort of works itself out. If I can't get married (dating is tough when you're broke) and have kids, I don't need a home bigger than 500 square feet, nor is more study to obtain employment that I'm not only happier with and better at than what I already do but also more lucrative really necessary, since I'll only be supporting myself. As for the issues revolving around savings, investments, and retirement, you may be surprised to find out how much happier one can be if you simply accept that you'll be working until very close to your death. Why? Assuming I do end up doing this, I'll have a consistent income coming in until death, which should make up for lack of retirement funds.
What makes me extremely bitter is how poorly people of my age and younger have been treated by potential employers. You specialize in economics, personal finance, and business, but not what some call "Human Resources." Yes, the economy, inflation, etc etc etc, all make up part of the problem, but one of the biggest and most overlooked reasons for the issues surrounding people my age is the HR department. How so? Let me walk you through the steps involved in applying to an "entry-level" position these days.
- Troll career websites, Craigslist, university career centres, and professional associations for potential job opportunities, networking events, or possibilities to reach out for an informational interview.
- Line up 100+ legitimate job opportunities that you are actually interested in and qualified for (that's important), complete with job descriptions and a contact person if you can find one, which you usually can't no matter how much research you do. Why 100+? You'll see…
- Perform in-depth research on the 100 or so different companies you're applying to, including history, financials if they're publicly traded, growth plan, and what you can tell of their corporate strategy from public sources. Then scour the web for any press coverage of said 100+ companies, because the more you know the better off you are.Report Typo/Error

Versie 19.0 van Pale Moon is uitgekomen, als opvolger van 15.4. Deze webbrowser maakt gebruik van de broncode van Mozilla Firefox, maar is geoptimaliseerd voor moderne hardware. De Windows-versie van Mozilla Firefox wordt namelijk ontwikkeld met een zo groot mogelijke compatibiliteit in gedachten. Mede door concessies aan oudere hardware is de browser niet zo snel als hij zou kunnen zijn, aldus Pale Moon-maker Moonchild Productions.
Pale Moon is functioneel nagenoeg gelijk aan Mozilla Firefox, maar biedt geen ondersteuning voor oudere processors. Ook zijn enkele zaken weggelaten, waaronder 'Accessibility features' en 'Parental controls'. Daarnaast is er een 64bit-versie van de browser beschikbaar. Het resultaat is een browser die soms tot 25 procent beter zou presteren. Meer informatie over het programma kan hier worden gevonden.
De download van Pale Moon is alleen in het Engels, maar met behulp van dit taalbestand en een kleine aanpassing is het programma ook in het Nederlands te gebruiken. Het programma gebruikt zijn eigen profielmap en deelt deze niet met Firefox, waardoor het mogelijk is om de twee naast elkaar te gebruiken. Deze uitgave is gebaseerd op versie 19 van Firefox en hieronder is te vinden wat er allemaal is veranderd en wat de verschillen zijn ten opzichte van Firefox 19.
Pale Moon 19.0 released!
Main points where this release differs from Firefox 19:
- Update of the underlying Firefox (gecko) code to v19. This has a number of consequences:
- Add-ons and themes may need to be updated since the UI code has changed.
- I'm aware that this may be inconvenient for users with a lot of add-ons installed, but the core engine changes are of too great importance not to push forward. Add-ons compatible with the v15 code base may not work properly or at all on the new release because of the far-reaching changes to the rendering engine, CSS and HTML5 implementations and evolving standards. It is strongly recommended not to force compatibility (changing files in xpi or telling pale Moon not to check extension compatibility) but instead to find updates for your add-ons, or, if no "Firefox 19" compatible versions are available, look for alternatives with the same functionality.
- HTML5-implementation is more complete.
- More elements of the still-evolving HTML5 standard have been implemented, giving the browser more functionality and features for web developers to use.
- A number of CSS statements have their prefix removed (-moz*).
- CSS statements that were considered provisional or experimental have been finalized, and the syntax with the provisional prefix "-moz-" has been replaced with the finalized CSS syntax. For example, "-moz-transition:" should no longer be used, but instead "transition:".
- Javascript now uses the IonMonkey engine by default, which is a new (faster) engine.
- Improvements to the layout and rendering engines
- The most important improvements in the gecko v19 core are improvements to the layout and rendering engine. This is all under-the-hood, to improve page display speed and the use of your GPU if possible.
- If you are using a language pack, you need to update it to the latest version!
- Pale Moon normally refuses to run an older language pack but if you have disabled version checking in the browser, you will end up with a non-working language pack when updating that will prevent the browser from starting. If this happened, you can start Pale Moon in safe mode and download the proper language pack for v19.0
- Update of the browser style. Main browser controls and the padlock look slightly different.
- This style change was mainly prompted by a strange glitch in the back/forward button, making it not work as it should with the Pale Moon theme and layout. The navigation controls have been slightly re-styled, specifically for disabled controls. To streamline the overall theme, the older "striped" padlock has been replaced with a look similar to the rest of the controls; Also a change in color from yellow to blue for regular HTTPS to stay in line with the rest of the identity panel.
- Several Pale Moon specific improvements to the rendering engine, noticeable in general use and certain benchmarks, to prevent browser stalls or high CPU usage on certain pages.
- This includes, among other things, improvements to scaled images (e.g. IE Chalkboard test) and certain types of gradients that are off-loaded to the GPU for rendering. Specific attention has been paid to mitigate a number of regressions present in current releases of Firefox, that would in fact cause the browser to stall or become completely unresponsive; most of these issues and solutions to them are Windows-specific.
- The builds no longer use PGO (Profile Guided Optimization) but are globally speed-optimized.
- PGO has shown to be less effective in VS2012 on the Mozilla code, and the workarounds/tradeoffs to circumvent compiler issues can, as a result, be removed, resulting in code that is optimized better overall. This decision is in line with the move away from synthetic benchmarks and towards overall browser smoothness and performance in daily use.
- The in-browser PDF viewer is not enabled
- Pale Moon's approach has always been that the browser should remain a browser, not spread thin over multiple disciplines or opening up security issues by integrating and enabling potentially exploitable code. The PDF viewer code for in-line viewing of PDF documents is present but disabled by default. It is provided as an emergency measure only (just like in v15) and you are at all times strongly urged to use a standalone, external viewer for PDF files.
- The PDF viewer has been available in Firefox Aurora and Beta builds for a number of months, and Mozilla has finally pushed it through to the release channel, but this is despite the fact Mozilla has acknowledged the existence of "several UX/rendering/stability concerns".
- Several user interface items are present that were removed from Firefox
- In Firefox, switching Tabs to the bottom once they have been placed on top has to be done through about:config - Pale Moon retains the context menu option in both directions
- In Firefox, there no longer is a "Send Page" or "Send Link" context menu item to quickly open a new e-mail message in the configured mail application with a link to the current page or pointed link. Pale Moon retains this feature.
- In Firefox, the "Safe mode" startup dialog has one recovery function next to safe mode: reset the entire profile. Pale Moon retains several choices for troubleshooting and resetting parts of the profile, and completely resetting your profile is done from about:support instead.

What is the definition of "at-risk youth"?
That phrase often comes up in arts education circles and the articles we review. Many arts programs aim at "improving the lives of at-risk youth." Generally, the phrase refers to young people seen as disadvantaged. But at its most fundamental (and disturbing), it refers to young people who are in real danger of not living through adolescence.
In recent years, while arts organizations have asked how the arts can increase the well-being of young people in distressed circumstances, a growing number of health organizations have come at the question from the other direction. These organizations have asked: How can our efforts to increase youth longevity be influenced by the arts? Although the goals of both health and arts groups are very much aligned in improving the quality of life for young people, little has been done to coordinate these organizations and their endeavors.
However, a brand new report—so new it hasn't been released yet—provides an overview of these separate efforts. The report, The Power of Art: Pathways to Healthy Youth Development, was commissioned by The California Endowment, a major health foundation that is in the forefront of a growing number of public health funders that recognize that the arts can be an effective intervention strategy for at-risk youth.
In early January, as one of about 40 Los Angeles–area funders invited to learn about the report, I participated in a discussion led by Dr. Robert Ross, pediatrician and dynamic CEO of The California Endowment. In commissioning the report, Ross and the endowment had charged the research team with identifying and analyzing the existing body of evidence regarding the impact of the arts on youth health and well-being.
One of the findings is the discovery of a "national infrastructure" of nonprofit organizations that provide at-risk youth with experiential arts training. This emerging field is providing across-the board evidence that "youth arts" helps kids improve academic achievement, strengthen cultural and personal identity, and avoid risky behaviors. The researchers emphasize that, "These outcomes all point to the essential—involvement in the arts is an unparalleled means for young people to develop the strength, resiliency, and self-image that allow them to participate in society on healthy terms" (emphasis in the original).
Dr. Ross recommended that arts advocates broaden and deepen the traditional argument—"because a democratic society needs culture"—and look for ways to find new alliances.
"Look at how these findings benefit taxpayers, for example," he suggested. "Look at the savings in the areas of juvenile justice reform, prison reform, and the foster care system."
He doubted that we could expect the chief of police or superintendent of schools to put the arts at the top of their priorities, but armed with new evidence of the positive impact of arts participation on young people in distressed circumstances, we could be a more powerful part of the conversation.
Let me reassure those arts supporters who, like me, are often disappointed by how some social studies define "arts program." Although the research team studied a range of offerings in a variety of settings (public school classrooms, after-school venues, juvenile detention camps, and neighborhood spaces among them), the arts programs had common elements that were essential to their success.
Those common characteristics were articulated in "Powerful Voices," the pioneering monograph from the Surdna Foundation released over five years ago. In my mind, they are the gold standard for high quality arts learning. In the most successful arts programs for young people:
• Students are art makers, not only audience members. Students are responsible for presenting, installing, and/or performing the arts.
• Students have a sustained participation throughout multiple years or long-term projects.
• Students have training with professional artists and often apprenticeships with adults.
• Students are held to rigorous artistic standards and expectations
• Students are provided with safe spaces for their physical and creative security.
Physical and creative security? Risk-taking is a natural part of adolescence, and without a healthy outlet, it is a major threat to youth longevity. The endowment's researchers remind us that the after-school hours of 3 to 6 p.m. are the peak time for fatal car accidents (the leading cause of death for teenagers), experimentation with drugs, alcohol, unprotected sex.
What are healthy outlets for the adolescent need to take risks? After-school activities such as sports and community involvements offer heightened responsibility and a sense of purpose, but the arts add a third element, a special kind of risk: the personal vulnerability of self-expression.
Finally, a word to those who might rankle at justifying the arts beyond their intrinsic value. They ask, what more do we need to know about the arts but that they enrich the quality of life? A fundamental question being asked today by arts and health organizations alike is: Do the arts actually help make life worth living? Do they give at-risk youth a compelling reason to remain on earth into their third decade?
These are chilling questions, but we're on the road to important answers. The participants in the meeting at The California Endowment left inspired with new stories, new data, new approaches, new partners.
I encourage you to watch for this report and spread the word. Dr. Ross announced his intentions to release it in the next few weeks. For more information on the endowment visit www.calendow.org.
I'll leave you with one more pertinent appetizer. The Manchester Craftsmen's Guild in Pittsburgh is one of the exemplary organizations included in the report. The Guild's founding director, William Strickland, is quoted: "We've learned that you can't teach kids algebra if they don't want to live. And art does that. It appeals to life. It appeals to the part of the brain where the imagination lives."

New York State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli offered the following statement following Gov. Andrew Cuomo's State of the State Address on Wednesday:
"Governor Cuomo demonstrated today that he has an aggressive agenda to push our state forward, foster economic development and rebuild our communities devastated after Hurricane Sandy.
"Sandy's victims are hurting and need help now. We need Congress to act and give us real disaster relief. As a state, we need to repair damaged areas, rebuild smarter and rethink how we prioritize critical infrastructure and capital projects around the state. We need to devote more resources to shoring up our vulnerable and aging infrastructure.
"At the same time, our state faces a tough fiscal reality. State revenues are falling short and our heavy debt burden could jeopardize and delay critical projects. Many municipalities are in crisis and millions of hard-working New Yorkers are struggling to balance their own budgets. The governor gave his vision for New York and there is much work to be done. I look forward to working with him and the Legislature and reviewing specific details about the governor's plans when he releases his 2013-14 budget."

A New Look for an Old Tradition
The American Association of Physics Teachers today introduced a new logo. The association, which celebrated its 75th anniversary in 2006, is the leading international organization dedicated to physics education.
Introducing the logo, Toufic Hakim, AAPT Executive Officer said, "When we considered modernizing our identity brand, our objectives were clear. We wanted to present AAPT through a fresh, dynamic logo—to mirror our positive evolutions occurring both internally and externally. And naturally, we aimed to create a powerful, memorable image—embodying our passion for, and commitment to, physics education."
"We believe it captures through its letters and symbols who we are, what we value, and conjuring at the same time images of movement—which describes our state as an organization today," he added.
Harvey S. Leff, AAPT President, added, "Our new logo displays three dualities. First and foremost, as with physics itself, there is a duality of discreteness and continuity. Secondly, there is a duality of modern and classic design. Finally, the logo conveys a sense of motion and yet fixedness—as AAPT strives to move forward while preserving its well-developed strengths."
"We're excited about this unveiling," stated Robert Headrick, Director of Communications and Publications. "Over the next several months we'll be working hard to introduce the new logo across our publications and products—starting with our website, AAPT.org."

The snow comes after a record 335 days without measureable snow, which is defined as an inch or more in a calendar day. At the official measuring spot at O'Hare, 1.1 inches fell by 9:30 a.m. Friday. Not a lot, but enough to make mess of area roads.
The previous record stretch without a one-inch snowfall was 319 days, ending on January 6, 1940. This is also the latest we've ever gone into winter before having a 1" snowfall. The previous record for latest 1" snowfall in the city was January 17, 1899.The Friday afternoon rush moved at its usual sluggish pace after the snow.
In the morning travel became next to impossible as motorists unused to winter driving hit the roads.
Dozens of spinouts and wrecks were reported on area interstates, including an eight-car crash on the Kennedy Expressway near Armitage that closed all inbound lanes. The city put an emergency snow plan in effect, which means drivers involved in crashes without injuries should exchange information, continue on to their destinations, and call police later.
"I think it was really horrible. I didn't expect snow," cab driver Guisela Ngnegani said.
To combat slick roads, the Chicago Department of Streets and Sanitation deployed 199 plows into the city's main streets and Lake Shore Drive.
The plows quickly cleared and salted both the main and side streets.
Find out where the city crews are at work at chicagoshovesl.org. Drivers are warned to be cautious.
"This afternoon there may be a few lingering light snow showers," said ABC7 meteorologist Tracy Butler.
In Indiana, LaPorte County had nearly 150 plows out district-wide, tackling the snow and ice. Slick conditions and hard-pack snow and ice were reported in parts of Lake County, but most of the main roads (I-80/94 and I-65) were looking good. right now. Lake County als had plows out.
Some Indiana accidents and slide-offs were reported on the heavy-traffic volume interstates.
The next storm looks particularly problematic for Sunday. As warm air overruns cold air near the surface, freezing rain is likely to be the dominant precipitation type for several hours. This could lead to significant icing. As temperatures steadily climb above freezing Sunday night into Monday, the precipitation will change to rain and the ice will quickly melt. Still, travel will be hazardous for many hours Sunday into perhaps early Monday morning with the ice lasting longest over the northern suburbs.

Steve Jobs' holy rage against Google's Android mobile operating system was just some "differences" created "for show," according to Google CEO Larry Page in an interview transcript published this week.
However, in a lecture at the Royal Institution last night Steve Jobs' biographer outlined exactly why the situation did anger Jobs so much. He explained that with the Google case Steve Jobs saw history repeating itself again, along with all the issues that arose from Microsoft copying Apple in the 1980s.
"I think that served their interests," Page tells his interviewer, Brad Stone, of Bloomberg Businessweek. "For a lot of companies, it's useful for them to feel like they have an obvious competitor and to rally around that. I personally believe that it's better to shoot higher. You don't want to be looking at your competitors. You want to be looking at what's possible and how to make the world better."
His casual comments, coming at the end of an online excerpt of a longer interview to be in print in an upcoming issue, have sparked controversy on the Web.
"Google CEO Larry Page apparently is trying to rewrite history," charged Brent Dirks, at AppAdvice.com.
One of the most startling parts of Steve Jobs' authorized biography last year was the extent and depth of his rage at Android, and by extension, its main creator and chief advocate, Google.
""I will spend my last dying breath if I need to, and I will spend every penny of Apple's $40 billion in the bank, to right this wrong," Jobs said, according to the book "Steve Jobs," by Walter Isaacson. "I'm going to destroy Android, because it's a stolen product. I'm willing to go thermonuclear war on this."
Jobs' conviction seems to have been, and so far remains, the driving force behind Apple's stubborn, persistent and expensive patent battles with Android handset makers, on multiple continents.
In the most recent ruling in one U.S. case this week, a federal judge rejected arguments by Motorola, and upheld Apple's patent claims for touchscreen technology that interprets the user's touchscreen commands by recognizing swipes that are not straight lines. That may sound arcane, but at least one patent blogger says that "Motorola will realistically be unable to avoid a finding of infringement and will have to come up with some really good invalidity arguments if it wants to avoid a disaster."
"Disaster" fits more with Jobs' vow of going thermonuclear on Android than with Page's "differences," however.
