( Read to the beat of ICE ICE BABY )
Aight, stop, and collaborate & listen, Santa Clara's back with a brand new edition.
Somethin grabbed a hold of me tightly
beautiful Parma & the Duomo so sightly.
Who painted the top? Yo, it was Allegra
Heaven, the angels & Mary...."bella!"
To the extreme yo it rained like a monsoon
We danced in the street & lit it up like high noon.
Splashin in the pourrin rain
Italians starin sayin are these girls sane?
The bus was on stand by
guide waitin just to stay dry
The rain didnt stop? Nah, we just cruised by.
Got on the bus & rolled to our next game
90-45 we came out on top
headed to dinner & started the doo-wop
Men were old & bustin a groove,
asked for Court's number, our cue to move!
by Megan Nelson
I hope you understand this. We'll write again tomorrow!


text: On Tuesday, June 20, 2006, despite months of active campaigning by local and national preservationists, the Sarasota (Florida) School Board voted 5-0 to demolish Paul Rudolph's 1957 Riverview High School. It was Rudolph's first major architectural commission, following his remarkable early period of residential design. The steel-frame structure's concrete sunshades and innovative arrangement of breezeways and courtyards helped establish Rudolph's reputation as the father of the Sarasota school of architecture. Over the past twenty years, Riverview lost many of its distinctive solar shading features and its flat roof, which had been replaced with a metal hip design. Initially, architectural firm BMK's master plan for a new school on the same 42-acre site foresaw the Rudolph building's rehabilitation. On May 18, 2006, the Florida Trust for Historic Preservation listed the building as one of the 11 Most Endangered Historic Sites in the state. Then, to the surprise of local and international Rudolph devotees, one month later, the School Board announced a multimillion-dollar plan for building a new Riverview that meant all of the existing 48-year-old school's buildings would be demolished to make way for parking. The Sarasota School Board had received expressions of support for the building from throughout the architectural community, including a letter from Lord [Norman] Foster of Thames Bank; John Howey, FAIA , the author of The Sarasota School of Architecture, 1941-1966 (MIT Architectural Press, 1995) and from Joe King, AIA, author, with Christopher Domin of Paul Rudolph: The Florida Houses (Princeton Architectural Press, 2003), as well as from the Sarasota Architectural Foundation (SAF) and the Sarasota Historic Alliance, and the President-elect of AIA Florida. This story was also featured in the most recent DOCOMOMO US newsletter (Summer, 2006).

Enhancing the skin's natural renewal process.
Cosmedique is a complete formulation of many different skin healing ingredients, including hyaluronic acid, retinol, DMAE, Vitamins A, C and E, natural proteins, ceramide, and the key ingredient – a revolutionary new formula that stimulates stem cell multiplication. Each ingredient is molecularly engineered to be as small as possible, so it gets through to every layer of the skin. Here's how we discovered it:
Most of anti-aging products don't deliver results when it comes to deep wrinkles because they only work on the top layer of skin.
Starting with restoring formation level of collagen. Filling up the spaces between the connective fibers collagen and elastin.
Repaired damaged skin after regular, long term application of the cream. Wrinkles on your face seem smoother and less visible.
*Just cover shipping. Availability limited to one per household.
For many years, I've had patients who've feared the risks associated with cosmetic injections. My professional goal was to experiment and find something safe and less invasive to substitute unsafe needles and surgery. During my trip to The Dermatology Convention in Geneva, Switzerland I was introduced to a research team which created exactly that. Cosmedique the All-In-One Anti Aging Treatment was the missing link in my search. Finally, I got something safe, long-lasting and cost effective—an alternative to the current expensive and often risky surgical procedures.
As an esthetician with over a decade of experience, I see all sorts of skin challenges on daily basis. In my line of work I focus mainly on the facial skin which is the most sensitive and fragile as well as the most important to all women regardless of their age. When it comes to anti-aging, choosing the right product could mean a life changing difference. The main reason Cosmedique is my number one is because it's scentless, parabens free and saturated with concentrated forms of the most desired ingredients in skin care industry. It penetrates deep... moisturizes and rehydrates along with providing long term benefits.
After global success of our professional line, and due to countless inquiries from our customers, we have decided to make our All-In-One Formula available to everyone through this website. Utilizing the exact same manufacturing process as well as the same ultra concentrated ingredients, we are now happy to announce that Cosmedique - All-In-One, Anti Aging Treatment, is now available, for the first time to the general public in over 57 countries.

Thousands of gay-rights activists marched on Washington on Sunday.
(CNN) -- This week in iReport, hear the inspirational story of a teen who struggled with obesity and eventually became a muscular fitness coach. Also watch as thousands of gay rights activists march on Washington, and see reaction to Obama's Nobel Peace Prize from around the world. Check out the video , or browse the stories below.
• Obama receives Nobel Prize: We got a spirited response to the unexpected news that President Obama had received the Nobel Peace Prize. We even got a congratulations for the president from 32,000 feet up! And Martin Wik Fowler, who comes from Norway, where the prize was presented, interviewed fellow students at his school in Costa Rica to find out their views.
• National Equality March: Thousands of gay-rights activists took to the streets Sunday during the National Equality March in Washington. People were calling for equality in marriage and an end to the "don't ask, don't tell" policy. Folks of all ages from different backgrounds, gay and straight, descended upon the city to send Washington a message. iReporters captured dramatic images, from the huge crowds to couples standing united.
• Overcoming obesity: We asked the iReport community to help us tackle our nation's problem with obesity. We received many inspirational stories, but one that really stood out was from Charles D'Angelo. D'Angelo transformed himself from chubby teen who ate his lunch alone in a school restroom stall to avoid bullies to a muscular fitness coach who dedicates his life to helping children overcome obesity.

Anti-whaling skipper poses problem over arrest notice
A DIPLOMATIC headache is developing for the federal government as ground is laid for the wanted Sea Shepherd leader, Paul Watson, to come ashore in Australia.
Mr Watson is wanted by Japan over his Antarctic anti-whaling campaigns, and after skipping bail in Germany has been at sea for months to avoid arrest.
The former Greens leader Bob Brown said on Monday a key job in his new role as a Sea Shepherd Australia director was to ensure that Mr Watson could come ashore safely, and warned an arrest would bring uproar.
Mr Watson, who is on board the ship Steve Irwin in the Southern Ocean, said he had been given a business entry visa to Australia by the Australian Embassy in Washington.
''But I don't have a passport,'' Mr Watson said. ''Both my Canadian and US passports are in Germany.''
A repeated visitor to Australia on his campaigns, Mr Watson said his group had decided to base their international operations at Williamstown in Melbourne, and it made sense for him to be able to come ashore.
''It would be nice to come ashore anywhere, really,'' he said.
Interpol has Red Notices from Japan and Costa Rica outstanding for Mr Watson.
According to the global policing organisation, a Red Notice is a request for any country to locate an individual with a view to their provisional arrest and extradition, in accordance with that country's national laws.
Dr Brown said there was no requirement for Australia to arrest Mr Watson if he set foot in Australia.
''No, not at all,'' Dr Brown said. ''The red alert is simply that. It's an alert. I would think that if Paul Watson were to be arrested at some future time, there'd be uproar in Australia.
''What Australia should be doing is arresting the captains of the Japanese whaling fleet who are illegally down there harpooning whales in an international whale sanctuary.''
Environment Minister Tony Burke said at the weekend that if Mr Watson came to Australia there would be no intervention from the government.
''You'd have a situation where various agencies would do their job,'' Mr Burke said
Japan's Institute for Cetacean Research obtained an interim injunction from a US Appeals Court restraining Sea Shepherd vessels from attacking the whalers this season.
It has called on Australia, as a Sea Shepherd flag state, to act against the group.
The Japanese consul-general in Melbourne, Hidenobu Sobashima, said his government was concerned about Sea Shepherd jeopardising the safety of crews and property.
''Generally speaking we believe those people responsible for those actions should be dealt with properly,'' Mr Sobashima said.
The whaling fleet only left Japan last Friday, losing weeks of its Antarctic season after a partial refit of the factory ship, Nisshin Maru.
It is believed to be a four-ship fleet - meaning Sea Shepherd would match its numbers.
With the Steve Irwin at sea, the Bob Barker and Brigitte Bardot are expected to leave Wellington, New Zealand, soon. The group's fourth ship, Sam Simon, is likely to depart Hobart within a week.

And on and on goes the holiday report. The next stop along our journey was Vermont, where I went to visit my friend Cherie (who by the way has started her own blog on felting a little while ago. You can check it out here) Cherie and I have known each other since our early teens. We started out as pen pals in school and used to send each other all kinds of bits and bobs from pictures to hair clips and whatever else young girls like at that age (and as far as I am concerned...like forever) I couldn't wait for Mr Postman to come and bring me another letter from the other side of the world. Back then Cherie was living in Washington state so the other side of the world was almost true. Anyways, the years passed, I went on my Au Pair adventure and we finally got to meet at the end of my year in America. We got a long brilliantly and our friendship got even stronger. In the years to follow we both went to College and Uni and lost touch for a while in between, we both got married, moved across country/countries and as we started planing our epic holiday I knew I had to build in a visit to see her in Vermont.
This is us today in her garden. I would love to have a view from my house like this but unfortunately the view from my house is another house. The joys of living in the UK........
Hiking in Vermont...it's a wonderful place.
More hiking
Almost on top of the hill
Shopping in Brattleboro. I loved this little fabric shop. The proprietress is this amazing lady, a bit crazy but loves and lives fabrics, buttons and haberdashery. Unfortunately all the fabrics I fell in love with were not in my price range...I am just so tight when it comes to spending money on myself. Do you find it easy blowing money on fabric for yourself? Or in fact for anything for yourself?
Bought a vintage dress each.
Very Dorothy and very Annie were the comments we got. I like that. Now go and get me some ruby slippers!!!
Sampling food. They had so much to sample there (which we obviously took advantage of and probably sampled every jam, condiment, cookie, cracker, cheese and smoked meat in this place) we didn't need any lunch that day. Yey for Vermont country store!!!
Trying hats... I really wanted a nice straw hat this year but I am glad I didn't waste any space in my luggage as it was bloody freezing most of our trip.
outside the shop
and yes we bought stuff too. Probably cost us less than all the food we ate in there. Oh well.....
And then we headed for Boston....

cadmium sulfide and cadmium selenide
CdS × CdSe
Cadmium Orange was the first true orange and was made by mixing Cadmium Yellow with Cadmium Red. It is a pure hue with excellent opacity and low toxicity compared with its predecessors. It also has very high hiding power. The greatest tinting strengths are possessed by the deeper shades. Only the highest grades contain pure Cadmium Orange without barium mixed in it. Cadmium pigments have been partially replaced by azo pigments, which are similar in lightfasness to the cadmium colors, cheaper, and non-toxic.
Cadmium Orange has excellent permanence, but like many cadmium pigments, it will fade in fresco or mural painting. The deeper varieties of this pigment are the most permanent. The paler varieties have been known to fade when exposed to sunlight.
Cadmium Orange is a known human carcinogen. It is extremely toxic if inhaled and slightly toxic if ingested.
Cadmiums get their names from the Latin word cadmia, meaning zinc ore calamine, and the Greek word kadmeia, meaning Cadmean earth, first found near Thebes, the city founded by the Phoenician prince Cadmus. Metallic cadmium was discovered in 1817 by Friedrich Strohmeyer. It was used sparingly after its discovery due to the scarcity of cadmium metal.
organic, disazo
Diarylide Orange is a bright, reddish orange.
Diarylide Orange has been widely used in printing inks, plastics, emulsions, coatings, and textile printing.
Diacetanil Orange, Acosil Orange, Helio Orange, Sunbrite Orange
This Hansa Yellow ranges from reddish yellow to greenish yellow with temperature shifts from cool to warm hues. It has good tinting strength and average to slow drying time.
This Hansa Yellow has excellent lightfastness, particularly in the darker shades.
Hansa Yellow has no significant acute hazards, though its chronic hazards have not been well studied.
Hansa Yellows were first made in Germany just before WW1 from a series of synthetic dyestuffs called Pigment Yellow. They were intended to be a synthetic replacement for Cadmium Yellow.

Conversion includes a change in behavior, but it goes beyond behavior; it is a change in our very nature. It is such a significant change that the Lord and His prophets refer to it as a rebirth, a change of heart, and a baptism of fire. The Lord said:
"Marvel not that all mankind, yea, men and women, all nations, kindreds, tongues and people, must be born again; yea, born of God, changed from their carnal and fallen state, to a state of righteousness, being redeemed of God, becoming his sons and daughters;
"And thus they become new creatures; and unless they do this, they can in nowise inherit the kingdom of God" (Mosiah 27:25–26).
Conversion is a process, not an event. Conversion comes as a result of righteous efforts to follow the Savior. These efforts include exercising faith in Jesus Christ, repenting of sin, being baptized, receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost, and enduring to the end in faith.
Although conversion is miraculous and life changing, it is a quiet miracle. Angelic visitations and other spectacular occurrences do not bring conversion. Even Alma, who saw an angel, became converted only after he "fasted and prayed many days" for a witness of the truth (Alma 5:46). And Paul, who saw the resurrected Savior, taught that "no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost" (1 Corinthians 12:3).
The Book of Mormon provides descriptions of people who are converted to the Lord:
They desire to do good. King Benjamin's people declared, "The Spirit of the Lord Omnipotent, has wrought a mighty change in us, or in our hearts, that we have no more disposition to do evil, but to do good continually" (Mosiah 5:2). Alma spoke of people who "could not look upon sin save it were with abhorrence" (Alma 13:12).
They do not rebel against the Lord. Mormon told of a group of Lamanites who had been wicked and bloodthirsty but who were "converted unto the Lord" (Alma 23:6). These people changed their name to the Anti-Nephi-Lehies and "became a righteous people; they did lay down the weapons of their rebellion, that they did not fight against God any more, neither against any of their brethren" (Alma 23:7).
They share the gospel. Enos, Alma the Elder, Alma the Younger, the sons of Mosiah, Amulek, and Zeezrom dedicated themselves to preaching the gospel after they became converted to the Lord (see Enos 1:26; Mosiah 18:1; 27:32-37; Alma 10:1–12; 15:12).
They are filled with love. After the resurrected Savior visited the people in the Americas, "the people were all converted unto the Lord, upon all the face of the land, both Nephites and Lamanites, and there were no contentions and disputations among them, and every man did deal justly one with another. …
"And it came to pass that there was no contention in the land, because of the love of God which did dwell in the hearts of the people.
"And there were no envyings, nor strifes, nor tumults, nor whoredoms, nor lyings, nor murders, nor any manner of lasciviousness; and surely there could not be a happier people among all the people who had been created by the hand of God.
"There were no robbers, nor murderers, neither were there Lamanites, nor any manner of -ites; but they were in one, the children of Christ, and heirs to the kingdom of God" (4 Nephi 1:2, 15–17).

Rifleman Shako circa 1814
During the War of 1812, the term "rifleman" designated a marksman with a rifled long arm boasting far more range and accuracy than an infantryman's musket. Elizabeth City County riflemen under Capt.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Add milk and eggs to blender and combine. Add the flour 1/2 a cup at a time, blending after each addition to ensure there are no lumps. Add pinch of salt and melted butter then blend for 30 seconds until you achieve a smooth, silky consistency. Set aside in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to rest. While it rests make the orange butter sauce.
Dip a piece of kitchen paper in butter and grease a small frying pan. Ladle a spoonful of batter into the pan. With a flick of the wrist swivel the pan in order to get a nice even covering all over. A good crepe should be paper- thin. Cook on a high heat and flip it over when you see the edge turning golden brown. Remove crepes from pan and fold in half and press into a muffin tray to form little cup shapes. Bake in hot oven for 10 to 12 minutes until slightly crispy and brown around the edges, the middle should remain spongy and light.
Combine the butter, sugar, citrus juices, and zest to a small saucepan and cook for about 10 minutes until it caramelizes. It should be a golden color. Remove from heat, add the Grand Marnier, return to the heat and continue to whisk and reduce until syrupy-about 10 minutes. When done, set to the side.
To assemble, place crepe "cup" in the center of plate and place a scoop of vanilla ice cream in the cup. Drizzle with the orange butter sauce

Tricks from your fellow Circle Track readers
I fabbed up this tool tray out of an old "cookie sheet" I found. Using tubing, just weld a couple of legs on it, split some oversized tubing in half and weld those to the bottom of the legs. The oversized tubing works like feet and fits over the bumper of your modified. Talk about a low cost way to keep your tools in easy reach! It's great to have in the pits while "thrashing" on Saturday night.

President Barack Obama was interrupted by a heckler at a fundraiser at the West Hollywood House of Blues Monday night who called Obama the antichrist.
A minute into his remarks, Obama was interrupted by a man shouting "the Christian God is the one and only true living God, the creator of Heaven and the Universe."
"I love Jesus. Jesus Christ is God. Jesus Christ is the son of God," the man continued while being dragged out by police and Secret Service agents. "Jesus Christ is god, Barack Obama is the antichrist!"
The audience booed the man, and chanted "four more years" to drown out his outbursts. Obama smiled uncomfortably, before trying to reunite the man with a jacket — before realizing that in fact the jacket belonged to another audience member.
"First of all, I agree Jesus Christ is the Lord. I believe in that," Obama said, before resuming his remarks. The adoring crowd repeatedly interrupted Obama with applause and shouts of "we love you."
The event was Obama's sixth fundraiser of a three-day West Coast campaign swing, and raised at least $250,000 for his reelection campaign.

The children's book "The Secret of the Lonely Grave" by Dr. Albert Bell Jr. of the Hope College history faculty has won the inaugural Evelyn Thurman Young Readers Book Award from Western Kentucky University Libraries.
The children's book "The Secret of the Lonely Grave" by Dr. Albert Bell Jr. of the Hope College history faculty has won the inaugural Evelyn Thurman Young Readers Book Award from Western Kentucky University Libraries.
To be eligible for the award, books must have a significant Kentucky-related theme or have been written or illustrated by a Kentucky author or illustrator. Bell's book is set in modern-day southern Kentucky and focuses on a mystery dating back to the Civil War.
Bell will be honored with a reception at the university on Saturday, Feb. 16. He will also be the featured speaker during an event sponsored by the university's Center for Gifted Studies for students in grades one through seven.
The award has been established to honor the memory of Evelyn Thurman for significant contributions to children's librarianship and literacy during her more than 25 years of service as a librarian at WesternKentuckyUniversity. In alternating years it will honor books for older children (grades five-eight), like "The Secret of the Lonely Grave," or children's picture/early-reader books (grades K-four).
"The Secret of the Lonely Grave" centers on two 11-year-old friends, Steve and Kendra, when they notice that someone has taken an interest in the long-neglected grave of a young girl who died in the 1860s. Their investigation leads them not only to discover her story, but to lessons on the Civil War, slavery and the Underground Railroad.
"MyShelf.com" has described the book as "an entertaining mystery that even adults could enjoy. It has some memorable characters, as well as lessons about why hatred and bigotry are wrong... while they learn, kids are treated to a great can't-put-it-down mystery."
Although the story is fictional, its setting in southern Kentucky is real. It was inspired by Bell's visits to see his wife's family in the area, and a tombstone that he had noticed set off by itself while walking through an old cemetery.
Weaving history into the story was a natural approach for Bell, who is a professor of history at Hope, where he has taught since 1978. Excerpts he includes from a period diary are literally true, even though adapted to the fictional situation.
Bell is the author of five works of fiction, most of which draw extensively on his academic background. His mystery novel "All Roads Lead to Murder" is set in the first century A.D. and features the historical figure Pliny the Younger as his sleuth; his mystery "Kill Her Again" involves an archaeological dig in modern-day Italy; and his historical novel "Daughter of Lazarus" is set in first-century Rome. His books also include the mystery "Death Goes Dutch," set in present-day Grand Rapids, and the autobiographical "Perfect Game, Imperfect Lives: A Memoir Celebrating the 50th Anniversary of Don Larsen's Perfect Game," which reflects on the 1956 World Series.

Bryant University broke a 56-56 tie in the final four minutes on Saturday with 7-0 run that gave them the lead for good, winning 69-62 on the road at Central Connecticut on Saturday afternoon. The Blue Devils would get no closer than six the rest of the way and fell to 6-9 overall and 2-2 in Northeast Conference action with the loss.
Bryant improves to 11-4 overall and 4-0 in the league with the win, their sixth straight.
The Blue Devils led 30-22 with 3:43 left in the first half but went cold from the field over the next eight minutes of action. Bryant outscored Central 9-3 to end the half and cut the Blue Devil lead to 33-31 at the break. Central had led by as many as 11 in the first half.
The Bulldogs opened the second half with seven straight points, pushing the run to 16-3, and took a 38-33 lead with 14:44 to play in the game. Central went without a basket for the first 5:28 of the half before a three from sophomore Adonis Burbage stopped the Bryant run.
The three from Burbage started a 14-4 run for the Blue Devils and they retook the lead 39-38 less than a minute later. The lead reached 47-42 for the Blue Devils with 8:57 left in the game, but a quick 8-3 run by Bryant tied it three minutes later.
The teams would be tied just one more time in the game, 56-56, with 3:55 left in the game, but the Bulldogs posted a 7-0 run to take the lead for good and hang on for their sixth straight win.
The Blue Devils were led by sophomore Kyle Vinales who had 22 points and three assists. Burbage added 20, each had four threes in the game. Junior Matt Hunter had six points but grabbed 13 rebounds, had three assists, three blocks and two steals.
The Bulldogs were led by Alex Francis who had 26 points and 18 rebounds. Frankie Dobb added 14 points and five assists.
Central shot poorly from the field, hitting just 18-of-63, including 7-of-34 from inside the three point line. They shot just 28.6 percent from the floor in the game, and 20.6 percent from two point range. They were 11-of-29 from three.
Central remains at home next week in NEC play, hosting Wagner on Thursday night and Mount St. Mary's on Saturday. Thursday night's game vs. Wagner will be televised live on CPTV Sports.

On December 2nd, VE Commercial Vehicles Ltd (VECV), a joint-venture between the Volvo Group and Eicher Motors Ltd, launched the Pro Series, a new range of trucks and buses developed specifically for India and other selected growth markets. The Pro Series includes 11 new products (trucks and buses) and covers the entire 5 to 49 ton gross vehicle weight (GVW) range, setting a new standard among customers with high demands on profitability, flexibility and driver effectiveness.
"India is a very important market to us and the Eicher brand is an integral part of the Volvo Group's strategy to expand in Asia and other growth markets. With the launch of the Eicher Pro Series, our already strong joint-venture enters a new chapter. The range presented by VECV today positions Eicher on a new level, capturing growth opportunities in markets with significant, untapped potential", says Olof Persson, CEO and President of the Volvo Group.
The trucks and buses unveiled today are the result of the joint-venture's efforts over the last five years. Customers in India and other growth markets are increasingly interested in more modern and effective products and rising fuel costs create a heightened demand for fuel efficiency. The Pro Series is developed to meet these demands by delivering best-in-class fuel economy, higher loading capacity, superior uptime and leading overall vehicle life time profitability in the targeted customer segments.
"The combination of the Volvo Group's leading technology with Eicher Motor's Indian heritage and frugal cost expertise has created a new range that will support customers in achieving even greater productivity, profitability and prosperity. India is aggressively investing in infrastructure. Improved roads and more effective logistics chains put new and higher demands on vehicles and that leads to new opportunities for Eicher", says Joachim Rosenberg, Executive Vice President, Group Trucks Sales & Marketing and JVs APAC.
The Pro Series is in a prime position to meet these requirements and will support and drive Indian modernisation. In addition, and for the first time, Eicher will have dedicated export variants for e.g. South East Asia and Africa that will generate further growth for VECV.
The Pro Series includes 11 new models of trucks and buses, covering the entire 5 to 49 ton gross vehicle weight range. While continuing to address the Indian mainstream market, the new Eicher range also contains models that enable entry into the evolving customer segments in India that require higher power and/or torque offerings. As such, the new vehicle range contains models that will be powered by engines adapted from Volvo Group technology with output up to 280 hp, offering high fuel efficiency, reliability and durability.
The VECV industrial facilities have been upgraded and modernised to produce this new range. The investments include; new assembly lines, a cab factory and cab painting workshop as well as a world-class engine factory. VECV will start production of the Eicher Pro Series in February 2014.

I understand the importance of easily accessible park-and-ride lots for weekday commuters, as in the Route 1 location of the current Newburyport station and the Kingston sand pit off of Route 3, but neither they nor Cordage is going to attract weekend leisure traffic headed for the waterfront neighborhoods. As an aside, when Newburyport service was first restored the town ran a summer weekend bus shuttle between the station and downtown, but that didn't last more than a season or two. Maybe it wasn't well publicized, or maybe the market just wasn't there.

Car Buying
Definitions: Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT)
Pros: Above-average fuel economy; simple, efficient power delivery; you'll never feel a shift.
Cons: Takes some getting used to; can cause engine to drone during hard acceleration.
Summary: If you're shopping for a car and you see the term "CVT," it stands for "continuously variable transmission."
Alright, so what does that mean?
Let's start with the basics. A CVT is a lesser-known alternative to conventional automatic transmissions. You operate it just like a regular one -- slide the shift lever from "P" to "D" and off you go -- but after that, well, it gets a little complicated.
Ordinary automatics have a certain number of gears that are referred to as "speeds," hence "6-speed automatic," for instance. The reason is that each gear is only good for a certain vehicle speed, so if you want to keep accelerating, the transmission has to shift up through the gears -- first 1, then 2 and so forth.
But a continuously variable transmission technically doesn't have gears at all; rather, it's like having one magical gear that's variable across all driving situations. That's why you don't feel shifts from one gear to the next like in a normal car. All you'll notice is changes in engine speed, or RPM: higher for acceleration, lower for cruising.
Here's where it gets really weird. The CVT orders up the most efficient engine speed for each situation and keeps it constant even if the vehicle is accelerating rapidly. In a passing scenario, for example, the CVT knows the optimal engine speed is pretty high (typically around 5,000 RPM on the tachometer), so it zings you up there as soon as you floor the gas. But as you pile on vehicle speed (50 miles per hour, 55 mph, 60 mph), the engine speed remains exactly the same! There's no "running through the gears" like with a regular automatic, no rising crescendo as the passing gear nears its limit. Instead, you hear a steady hum -- or, less charitably, a dull drone -- while the engine works efficiently at that sustained high speed.
It's definitely a different way of putting power to the pavement, but it's also an increasingly popular one. Nissan has used CVTs across its lineup for years, and stalwarts such as Honda and Subaru have followed suit.
What it means to you: CVTs tend to squeeze out some extra miles per gallon, especially in urban driving. That could tip the scales if you're comparing, say, the CVT-equipped 2013 Nissan Altima (27 mpg city/38 mpg hwy) to the 2013 Hyundai Sonata (24 mpg city/35 mpg hwy). But the real question is whether you like the way that CVTs respond to your right foot -- a question only a thorough test drive can answer.

Car Deals
Green Car Deals: February 2013
Shoppers interested in saving money on a new car logically consider green models like hybrids and diesels. But they're often put off by high prices in comparison to more traditional rivals. Our latest list includes several great February green car deals, proving that you don't have to spend more in order to get a gas-saving car.
Ford Focus Electric
Ford is offering deep discounts on its newest Focus to try to steer buyers toward the EV. A 36-month lease that allows for 10,500 miles per year is available with monthly payments starting at just $285 after $930 down at the lease signing. That's only around $100 more than a Focus SE sedan. Meanwhile, buyers paying in full can get up to $2,000 in cash back. Finance shoppers can also come by a deal on the Focus Electric, with Ford offering zero percent interest for up to 60 months or 1.9 percent for up to 72 months.

Honda Civic Hybrid
The miserly Civic Hybrid can be had with several great offers in February. For lease customers, there are two good options. The first requires $2,399 down, but offers payments as low as $189 per month for 36 months. The second deal lets buyers get into the gas-saving sedan with nothing down, but raises payments to $260 per month for 35 months. Finance customers also find a good deal on the Civic Hybrid in February, with the automaker offering interest rates as low as 0.9 percent to qualified buyers for up to 60 months.

Nissan Leaf
The best deal available on the plug-in electric Nissan Leaf remains a low lease rate. Through the end of February, customers interested in the all-electric hatchback can get a 36-month lease with payments starting at just $199 per month. While that number comes after an initial $1,999 down payment, it still strikes us as a good deal considering the 2012 Leaf's base price of more than $35,000. Of course, shoppers paying cash for a Leaf can also take advantage of a $7,500 government tax credit that makes the gas-free hatchback highly appealing.
Toyota Camry Hybrid
The recently redesigned Toyota Camry Hybrid features several good deals in February. One is a low interest offer that boasts rates as low as zero percent for 36 months or 0.9 percent for up to 60 months. For shoppers who would rather lease the sedan, Toyota is offering monthly payments as low as $209 per month for up to 36 months -- a deal that's available with just $1,999 down at signing. By comparison, shoppers can get a 24-month lease on a traditional gas-powered Camry starting at $179 per month with a similar down payment, making the gas-saving Hybrid a great deal.

Toyota Prius Plug-In
Like its plug-in rivals, the Toyota Prius Plug-In is available with several great deals in February. The best is for shoppers who get the high-end Prius Plug-In Advanced, which features adaptive cruise control and a pre-collision system. That model is available with zero percent interest for up to 60 months, plus a whopping $6,500 cash back. For those who don't want to step up to the Advanced trim, even base-level Prius Plug-In models are available with zero percent interest for up to 60 months. Lease shoppers also receive a good deal in February, with 36-month deals starting at $259 after $2,399 at the lease signing.

Rolling Stones Mick Jagger, Keith Richards Talk About 'Some Girls' Punk Influences
The Rolling Stones continue to revisit stories and memories from the making of 'Some Girls' in honor of the recent re-release of the 1978 album. In a new interview Mick Jagger and Keith Richards talk about how punk music influenced the project.
"It moved our ass, boy," Richards tells Vevo.com during an in-depth conversation about the project." See, the thing I loved about those times was the attitude and a new generation coming up. Unfortunately, only a very few [bands] could actually play, you know, music."
In a separate interview with Vevo Jagger compares the punk movement in New York City with that of London in the mid to late '70s. "The sort of punk scene in New York, you know, you had the Ramones and you had the New York Dolls, but they didn't really play that kind of music … it was more of a glam look," he says. "New York was sort of different than what the Sex Pistols were putting out. I mean, my favorite band of that period, was the Clash, definitely. They definitely had a dance sensibility, as well as a rock sensibility."
'Some Girls' was written mostly in New York, and both Jagger and Richards say they would visit well known clubs like CBGB as well as lesser known venues frequently. "It wouldn't just be one kind of music," Jagger says. "It was an interesting melting pot of music that came out of that time, and I think the 'Some Girls' album reflects that."
The re-release includes a 12 song bonus disc in the deluxe and super deluxe versions of the album. Many of these songs were recorded instrumentally, with Jagger adding vocals only recently. Of the extras, Richards says the Chuck Berry inspired 'Claudine' came closest to making the final project but it got hung up for legal reasons.

Diversity conference set for March
"Enhancing Diversity in Higher Education: Undergraduate Retention and Recruitment of Graduate Students, Faculty and Staff" will be the theme March 1 and 2 for Mississippi State's second Diversity Conference.
Sponsored by the university President's Commission on the Status of Minorities, the program includes a keynote address by Freeman A. Hrabowski III, president of University of Maryland, Baltimore County.
MSU President Mark E. Keenum said invitations have been extended to administrators, faculty, staff, and students from other institutions of higher learning throughout Mississippi and beyond.
"Diversity empowers and enriches any institution and the individuals within it," Keenum said. "It gives us the opportunity to communicate, to know one another and to displace fear and prejudice with understanding and respect.
"It is particularly important that our colleges and universities, where the leaders of the future are developing today, should be in the forefront in enhancing diversity," he added.
Adrienne R. Morris, chair of the campus commission and conference coordinator, said the agenda is designed to share ideas and explore meaningful ways of using diversity as a tool to move forward communities, businesses and educational systems.
"The conference is designed to draw attention to the opportunities identified in the theme, to discuss best practices for accomplishing diversity goals in reference to those opportunities, and to offer general recommendations for enhancing diversity initiatives," Morris said.
Online sign-up may be completed at http://ce.msstate.edu/DiversityConference/index.html. An early regular registration fee of $125 is in effect through Feb. 15; $150 afterwards. Student fees during these dates are $50 and $75, respectively.
Morris said Hrabowski is among a diverse schedule of presenters, moderators, and panelists representing several universities and organizations at the conference. (For a complete list, visit http://ce.msstate.edu/DiversityConference/agenda.html.)
Hrabowski, president of UMBC since 1992, is a widely known researcher and writer in the areas of science and mathematics education, with special emphasis on minority participation and performance. He chaired the National Academies committee that recently produced the report, "Expanding Underrepresented Minority Participation: America's Science and Technology Talent at the Crossroads."
In 2008, he was named one of America's Best Leaders by U.S. News & World Report, which in 2009, 2010, and 2011 ranked UMBC as the No. 1 "Up and Coming" university in the nation.
With philanthropist Robert Meyerhoff, he co-founded in 1988 the Meyerhoff Scholars Program, which has become a national model. The effort assists high-achieving, but underrepresented, minority students with demonstrated commitments to pursuing advanced degrees and research careers in science and engineering.
Hrabowski is the author of "Beating the Odds" and "Overcoming the Odds" (both Oxford University Press). Focusing on parenting and high-achieving African American males and females in science, both books are used by universities, school systems and community groups around the country. [More information at www.umbc.edu/aboutumbc/president/index.php.]

Dan can be contacted at [email protected]
As the Data Center Director for Financial Computer Services (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gulf Life Holding Company in Jacksonville, Florida), I had the luxury of my own office. Although small, the office had three windows -- one looked out on the St. Johns River, one looked into the data center of which my office was a part, and the third window looked at the sliding door to the raised-floor computer room. In other words, I could see who was coming, I knew what the data center operators were doing, and I could look at where I usually wanted to be.
After I had spent the first few months of 1976 running FCS' data center, I had a pretty good idea that the best way to gauge the result of the previous night's operations was to count the number of phone calls that I received. I'm a morning person and I tried to get to work before the night shift left the building. I soon learned that they rarely gave me reliable information.
"How did it go last night?" I would ask the lead night shift operator.
"Great, boss," was the invariable reply.
A "great" night could mean that by 9:00 am I had one half-dozen phone calls reporting problems or, on occasion, it could mean that there were no phone calls at all. No reported trouble calls was the best thing that could happen to the data center director. No calls, in turn, meant a long lunch and an early departure for home.
As a systems person in search of answers and long lunches, I decided that I should learn and document what it was that the data center operators did all night. It was, after all, a pretty easy job, I reasoned. In my years as a programmer, I had mounted tapes, punched cards, put paper in the printers, and run my share of test programs. And there was, at that time, a prejudice that everyone in the data processing community held but which no one ever voiced aloud: programmers were smarter than operators.
I started my data center documentation project as I would have started a similar project in any other department. I gathered all of the available reports, schedules, guides, and procedures and placed them on my desk. The only papers that I could find were copies of the shift leader's daily report. That was it. Surely, I thought, there had to be more. So, like the good manager that I thought that I had better become, I decided to spend a few days on the night shift.
Later that day I waited until the night shift operators came to work and I invited the shift leader to come into my office.
"Jack," I announced, "next week I'd like to observe how you guys run the daily cycle."
Perhaps it was my imagination but I thought that I could see the color drain from his face.
"We didn't do anything wrong it wasn't our fault DON'T PICK ON US!" he stammered and yelled.
"Jack," I assured him, "I just want to find out how things work, not find anyone's faults. Anyway, next Tuesday and Wednesday, I'll be here with you. And I'll buy the pizza."
John wasn't mollified but he accepted my offer.
I was to discover that, in fact, the nightly processing cycle started early in the afternoon in the tape library. Like other jobs that we've seen, the tape librarian's functions have either become unnecessary due to the increasing use of disk storage or they've been automated by mechanized tape systems. At that time, in 1976, the tape library was where everything started and ended and the librarian was an integral part of any procedure.
By the end of the 1960s, magnetic tape had overtaken cards as the primary medium for storing data. Cards were heavy and cumbersome to transport, cards were stored in drawers where they could warp, cards were dusty, and cards were almost impossible to secure. Magnetic tapes were comparatively light, they were stored in racks and they created no dust, and when put in a vault like the one we used at FCS, magnetic tapes were easy to secure. Although we would punch cards for another 10 years, all of the company's operational data was stored on tapes. On this basis, because everything was on magnetic tape, someone had to organize the newly created master files after each processing cycle and then retrieve them in preparation for next cycle.
You might wonder how the tape librarian organized the company's tapes. The FCS tape vault (a real vault -- fireproof, waterproof, and made of steel) had racks around the walls and down the center of the room. The racks held five rows of tapes and each slot was numbered. Some racks were reserved for static data like month-end master files and backups that were kept on-site for a few weeks and then sent off-site. The other racks held data files or work tapes. A work tape was one whose data was no longer needed and could, therefore, be written over. At the end of each processing cycle, the librarian brought order to the confusion of new master files and newly obsolete information.
You might wonder how the tape librarian knew which reel of tape was a master file and which reel of tape was not. A great question! First, it's important to note that the tapes themselves, when not mounted on the tape drives in the computer room, were kept in clear, plastic canisters. The first time that I looked around the tape vault I noticed that more than a few of the canisters had labels affixed to them. There was a time when the computer operator would write the name of the file on a label and then place the label on the tape. It probably took less than a week for that procedure to lead to catastrophe. At FCS, the librarian had a pre-printed inventory with the names of the tape data files that were input and output from each night's cycle. For input files, the inventory showed the serial number of the tape to be used. As new files were created, the operator recorded the tape's number on the inventory.
IMPORTANT: Operators never, ever went into the tape library. The librarian had two carts, on wheels, with two rows of magnetic tapes. The librarian loaded one cart with data files and the second cart was left empty. During the day, the librarian placed work tapes on stationary racks in the computer room. As the librarian was leaving, he closed the door to the tape vault, he rolled the carts into the computer room and placed the tape inventory on top, and he was long gone before the night shift arrived. The operators on the night shift would fill the empty cart with work tapes that had been written over with new data. The final act in this drama happened at the end of the night shift. The operators rolled the carts out of the computer room and tried to find new ways to wedge them in front of the door to the tape library. They, in turn, were gone well before the librarian arrived in the morning.
And yet, somehow this process normally worked.
You might wonder how many magnetic tape files were created, inventoried, and filed from each nightly processing cycle. The cycle progressed, step-by-step, like this: First, all of the cards that were punched during the day were read and loaded onto tape. The tape was sorted by policy number and the sorted file was kept. The sorted transactions were validated and the tape with valid transactions was saved. Sorted and validated transactions were matched to the policy master file and that tape was saved. In all, the interim results of more than two dozen steps, not to mention the actual updated master files, were cataloged and saved each night. The interim results were saved so that the cycle could be restarted at any point necessary in the case that an error was found.
Each processing step in the nightly cycle produced printed paper as well as magnetic tapes. The paper went out the back door of the computer room and the tapes went out the front door.
And yet, I found after I completed my study and review, this process usually worked.
Toward the end of 1976, my boss asked me to come into his office. He invited me to sit down. He told me that he was sending me to Atlanta for a week to attend an IBM class. He paused. He told me that I was being sent to Atlanta to learn OS JCL -- called the worst programming language ever invented -- and that we were going to convert from DOS to OS.
In the 11th installment of this history, I'll tell you all about the job control language for IBM's operating system.

Introducing: Dollarosa
Triple j Unearthed is a great source to find new & interesting Australian music. That is how I discovered Dollarosa. Their sound could maybe be described as some kind of mix alternative rock and emo with some heavier elements too. Based on their EP "The Neverending Unfamiliar" this band has the potential to hit it big, especially if they keep on making hyper-catchy and radio-friendly songs such as "Curses" which has been on repeat for me ever since I heard it.
