Five flags speedway ups the promotion ante
I'm writing this just a little more than a week until Thanksgiving and two weeks from the Snowball Derby, one of the biggest Super Late Model races of the year. Held annually at Five Flags Speedway in Pensacola, Florida, the derby not only draws some of the biggest short track racers in the country, but you almost inevitably get a NASCAR superstar or two to show up as well. The grandstands and pits are both jam packed and they even have real time scoring for the event. In anticipation of the race I was poking around online when I noticed this PR headline, "November 23rd Derby Practice to Pay Money to Fastest Cars." Interesting I thought, so I dug a bit deeper.
November 23 is the practice day for the Snowball Derby and this year they've added a bonus. The practice is open to all the divisions, there are six of them, who race during the Derby weekend. The fastest Super Late Model of the day will receive $500, while the fastest Pro Late Model will receive $300. Open Wheel Modified, Super Stock, Pro Truck, and Sportsman fast timers will each receive $150, while the fastest Bomber lap of the day will be worth $100.
They'll monitor the times by requiring all those teams who want to compete for the cash to have a transponder installed prior to starting practice. Transponders will be available for a $20 rental fee. Of course if you don't want to compete for the cash you don't have to rent the transponder. The practice goes from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. with each divisions rotated throughout the day. Five Flags is going to charge for pit admission ($15 per person), but grandstand admission will be free. Smart promoters would have their concession stands open on a day like this, and the guys at Five Flags know what they're doing, so it comes as no surprise that concessions in both areas will be open.
I think the format of this November 23 practice is all around a pretty cool idea because it does several things. Number one, it injects some excitement into an otherwise "routine" practice. Number two, it gives fans more reason to come to the track. Number three, it creates more buzz for the actual event, giving the promoter added opportunities to sell more tickets. Number four, it gives the racers more reason to come to practice and work harder on their cars. As if winning the Snowball Derby wasn't enough, now you've got the opportunity to win some tire money for doing what you should be doing anyway.
It's also an added revenue stream for the track since the concessions are open. And tracks need to make money in order to stay healthy and provide us racers a place to go have fun. In the grand scheme of promoting, sometimes the little things can make a big impact. Add up the amount of money Five Flags is going to pay out for this practice bonus and it equals $1,500. At a $20 transponder rental that's 75 cars. Do you think there will be at least 75 cars taking a shot at the money? I do. So at the end of the day, the promotion really costs the track nothing. But what it does do is generate excitement among the drivers and fans, create goodwill with the teams since the track is giving back and delivers something more for the media to talk about heading into the race. All of that equates or should equate to more interest in the actual event.
I've been to the Derby on and off since 1995 when my old friend Jeff Purvis won the thing. It's a great race that is a lot of fun, and with ideas like this practice bonus the track's leadership continues to push the envelope. And that's one thing we really need to keep this sport healthy and make it grow.
Until next month, go fast and turn left.

Chevrolet, Dodge and Ford Hit It Big At the 2010 L.A. Auto Show
The L.A. Auto Show brings a lot to the table when it comes to world debuts and the Detroit three all came with their boxing gloves on to battle the import and European manufactures. Chevy debuted the much anticipated 2011 Chevrolet Camaro convertible. Dodge had six totally redesigned vehicles to display which were the 2011 Challenger, Charger, Avenger, Durango, Journey and last was the Grand Caravan which will also have an available option called the "Man Van". Finally of the Detroit three, Ford debuted the 2012 Ford Focus. Don't worry Mustang fans the new Boss 302 Ford Mustang was also on display.
Details of the New Debuts
The most obvious change to the new 2011 Camaro is the option of now getting it in a convertible. Other changes include a new Head-Up Display (HUD), standard on 2LT and 2SS. The V6 option was beefed up as well estimating 312 HP and 232lb-ft of torque. Now available is a new MyChevrolet App for iPhone that will locate your nearest dealer, schedule routine maintenance and contact roadside assistance quickly and easily. The app will also remotely start your vehicle, control the door locks, check the diagnostics and more from nearly anywhere with the OnStar MyLink* app. All details on the 2011 Camaro including options and pricing can be found at www.chevrolet.com or you can download the pdf at http://www.chevrolet.com/assets/en/images/model/2011/camaroconvertible/overview/2011CamaroConvertible_Specs.pdf.
Diamond Chrysler Dodge made a lot of changes to their 2011 lineup. One huge change was the interior. Dodge scrapped everything and starting fresh by making the interior much softer and with many options having leather as a standard feature. The steering wheel on all six models went from its not so loved four spoke design to a much more stylish three spoke design with brush aluminum at the 3 and 9 positions. The gauges on all models were also redesigned making it look more like an option you would get on a $60,000 beamer than a $30,000.
Outside Changes
The new Dodge lineup received a lot of attention to the front. One of the major changes was changing the grille back to a crosshair design and giving the front of the cars a more aggressive look. In the back the taillights were all switched over to LED brake lights and the Charger went back to its roots and brought back the full-width taillight.
Under The Hood
Gaining MPG while raising HP and torque was Dodge's main concern with performance especially with their new "Pentastar" V6 engine. All except the Durango gained HP with the new "Pentastar" engine, but while the Durango lost some HP all models gained more MPG across the board. One of the coolest V8 options that were announced at the debut was the new 392 Hemi available for the 2011 Challenger which was rocking a 6.4L with 475 HP and 460lb-ft of torque which is 50 HP more than the SRT8 package. Dodge made their 2011 lineup appealing to everyone. It doesn't matter if you're a minivan dad or a true hot rodder.
Ford went for the compact car this year at the 2010 L.A. Auto show debuting there 2012 Ford Focus which is a pretty mean little 4 cylinder. Their 2.0L Ti-VCT GDI I-4 makes an impressive 160 HP and 146lb-ft of torque. Not too shabby for a 4 banger. Also available as an engine option is the 2.0L Ti-VCT GDI I-4 PZEV engine, but Ford hasn't released the spec info on that engine yet. Another attention getter is the much anticipated 2012 Boss 302 Mustang. Having two on display (one black on red and the other orange on black) it was hard to get a clean show, but when the opportunity presented its self the camera was ready. A car I wouldn't want to be in the back seat of was the new Ford Police Interceptor. This start of the art police car will take over the Crown Vic. Check out below as we have some interior shots of the Interceptor.

Memories of Batch LSR

Another trip down memory lane - prompted by the thread on IBM-MAIN of Batch LSR vs Hiperbatch. Batch LSR started out as a prototype by Paul Dorn of the IBM Washington Systems Center.

This was originally going to be a different post about VSAM's SMF 64 record, based on a customer situation. But it's morphed into something else: A round up of "recent" enhancements to the SMF 64 record. "Recent" is a nice euphemism: Some of these enhancements are 15 years old.

Additionally, the panel selected WASHINGTON G Kelsey Plum Pac-12 Freshman of the Year and OREGON STATE head coach Scott Rueck Pac-12 Coach of the Year, the Conference office announced today. Chiney Ogwumike (Cypress, Texas) was a unanimous pick for the second-straight year for the Player of Year honor by the media. A Cardinal has won the honor in each of the five years of the media-voted award. She and older sister, All-American Nnemkadi Ogwumike, have won it twice each. Chiney's defensive player of the year nod is also the second in a row for the All-American and consensus national player of the year candidate. Ogwumike led Stanford to a 17-1 Pac-12 record and 28-2 overall. Leading the way for the Cardinal, the team has won its 14th-consecutive Conference regular-season title and clinched the No. 1 seed in the Pac-12 Tournament for the 13th-consecutive year. Ogwumike is the only player in the country to rank in the top 10 in the country in scoring (27.0, 3rd), rebounding (12.1, 8th), field goal percentage (62.2) and double-doubles (22, 6th). She is the Conference's all-time leading rebounder with 1,483 boards and is one shy of entering the top 10 in the NCAA's all-time career list. She is 49 points away from tying the Pac-12 all-time scoring record, having scored 810 points so far this season, which is also a single-season Pac-12 record. She is the only player in league history to have tallied 800 points in a season twice. Ogwumike was named the Pac-12 Player of the Year for the second-straight year by the league's coaches, which was announced on Tuesday. She was also the coaches' pick for the Defensive Player of the Year for the third-straight year. A guard from Poway, Calif., Kelsey Plum was also the Pac-12's coaches' selection for the top freshman honor, as well. Plum is the second-highest scoring freshman in the country and ranks fourth in the Pac-12, averaging 20.9 points per game. Plum has recorded 16 20-point games, including three 30-point performances. She was named Pac-12 Freshman of the Week a Conference-record seven times this season, while helping Washington claim the No. 6 seed in the tournament. UW has posted two upset victories in the final month of the season, including defeating then-No. 4 Stanford in what was one of the biggest wins in program history. Plum ranks fifth in the Pac-12 with a 2.41 three-per-game average, also boasting a 36.8 percent long-range shooting percentage, good for 10th in the Pac-12. Plum is the second Husky in three years to win the media's and coaches' freshman honor. Teammate Jazmine Davis won the award in 2012. In his fourth season at the Oregon State helm, Scott Rueck is the media's selection for Pac-12 Coach of the Year for the second time, winning the award in 2012. Rueck has resurrected a Beaver program that had won just two league games in his first two four years ago. This year, the Beavers have finished tied for second in the Pac-12 standings, the program's best finish since 1995-96, going 13-5 in league play. The Beavers' 21 wins this season are the most for the program since 1994-95, while the 13 Conference wins are a program record. OSU earned the third seed in the Pac-12 tournament, the team's best-ever seeding in the 13-year history of the event. This season's successes saw OSU more than triple its league wins from a year ago when the Beavers went 4-14, and more than doubled its overall win total (10 in 2013). Rueck is a 1991 graduate of Oregon State. The media also selected a 15-member All-Pac-12 team, a five-member All-Defensive team and a five-member All-Freshman team. It is the fifth year of the Pac-12 media awards and are in addition to the Conference awards voted on by the league coaches, which will be announced on Wednesday. The panel included local and national media members. 2014 Pac-12 Media All-Pac-12: Jillian Alleyne, ORE; Brittany Boyd, CAL; Jazmine Davis, WASH; Reshanda Gray, CAL; Ruth Hamblin, OSU; Cassie Harberts, USC; Deja Mann, ASU; Atonye Nyingifa, UCLA; Chiney Ogwumike, STAN; Amber Orrange, STAN; Michelle Plouffe, UTAH; Kelsey Plum, WASH; Tia Presley, WSU; Chrishae Rowe, ORE; Sydney Wiese, OSU. 2014 Media All-Defensive Team: Jillian Alleyne, ORE; Brittany Boyd, CAL; Lia Galdeira, WSU; Ruth Hamblin, OSU; Chiney Ogwumike, STAN. 2014 Pac-12 Media All-Freshman Team: Kelsey Plum, WASH; Emily Potter, UTAH; Chrishae Rowe, ORE; Lili Thompson, STAN; Sydney Wiese, OSU.

So why am I going on and on about my long lost Kona Bistro? Well - I went to Sonoma American & Mediterranean Grill last week in the old Kona spot on Madison Road next to Deweys.
We started with complimentary pita bread with olive oil and spices. The bread was nice - a little crispy but soft and the olive oil was very flavorful.
Nice bar though...
Eating this dish reminded me of what was one of my favorite Greek dishes back home at the Vernon Inn - Saganaki! Flaming cheese! I love cheese and the only thing to improve it would have to be flames. Anybody know of a Greek place out here that serves it?
I'm really boggled by how different tsatsiki is from place to place...such a wide variety from runny to thick from yogurty to sour creamy. I'll pass along Michael Psilakis' recipe (who I met a month ago) - figure he's written a cookbook - we'll go with his!
Krohn Conservatory - what a fun free thing to do! I love going when it's cold outside because it's HOT inside! They are all decorated for the holidays with their tree of poinsettias. And I love walking by a waterfall and seeing an orange tree when it's 25 degrees outside! If you haven't been - you should go. (It's in Mt. Adams.) We also stopped by the Art Museum to check out the wedding dresses and armor displays that are on now. Good stuff! Another free fun activity ($4 for parking) in Mt. Adams!
Why Should You Go? Although Sonoma isn't Kona (tear) - it is pretty good. I'm a big fan of Mediterranean food so I really hope it makes it. Deweys was PACKED next door but as we were there - the lunch traffic did pick up. I don't think it's as good as Cafe Mediterranean but it's much closer - so we'll be back!
Also - our service was kinda bad. The server was very slow and disappeared a couple of times. Folks that had the hostess as their server faired much better on this day. But I'll just chalk it up to her being tired. She was good - when she was around. Just slow.
PS. Thanks for voting in the "What Should I Buy Larry" poll! I love that "He doesn't need a gift, he already has you" won the vote. hahahaha

When I found out the brony thing was true, God knows I gave myself fucking whiplash shaking my head in disapproval.

Okay, think about this for a minute before responding – what would you say if someone called your kid fat?
It happened the other day, and all I did was smile, for some reason, and utter a ridiculous comment that I would take back if I could.
I was pushing Beckett along the street in his stroller when a neighbor approached to get an updated look at the growing little guy. She said something along the lines of, "hey there, fat boy, you're such a cute, fat boy." I was kind of startled and laughed it off, saying, something corny and lame brained like, "yeah he's well loved, alright."
As I walked away, I found myself wondering, "what did I just say?" and then started thinking, did she just call my kid fat to his face as well as mine?
When we got to the house, I was still reflecting on the seemingly innocent conversation when I leaned down to pull him out of the stroller. That's when I realized why she said what she did.
There was my son sitting in a rather unflattering position. Whether it's my fault or his doing, somehow his shorts had become extremely jacked up, revealing all of his thunder thighs, which in some positions show three rolls of "love". To make matters worse, he had pulled his shirt up some to show a mighty bulge of belly hanging over one of the stroller straps.
It was at that point I understood how my neighbor's comment arose. She was simply making an observation.
There are certain moments in life that serve as reminders as to how much my life has changed.
I am a huge Ravens fan and try to set aside a few hours a week for their weekly game on Sundays or even Mondays. All week I read the stories in the paper previewing the upcoming week's game, player profiles and columnists' takes on the team. It's all hype for the upcoming game that weekend.
Last weekend I had to marvel at what I was doing during the heavily anticipated battle between the Ravens and Patriots. Instead of plopping down in front of my big flat screen with some nachos and a couple Lite beers, which may have been the case just two seasons ago, I found myself at a birthday party for some friends' 2-year-old daughter. I could not help but laugh to myself as we drove to the party with the Ravens game on the radio.
Fortunately, the game was on the television at the party, and my wife and I took turns chasing around our son and making sure he did not pull a tablecloth off, grab a drink, move the birthday girl out of the way so he could push the shopping cart or attempt to dangle on the treadmill like the older kids.
Yes, rather than watching the game, I was playing toddler tracking, my term for following my son everywhere he goes, shielding him from steps, table corners, the streets and the like.
All in all, it was a fun afternoon, even though I missed some of the game. I was even home in time to see the dropped pass that cost the Ravens the game. All in all, a good time (thanks to the Ferrantes), but it was a different way to spend a Sunday afternoon and I could not help but reflect on it.
Every once in a while, it's nice to have a sleep-in day.
The disclaimer here is 8 a.m. is considered sleeping in at my house. So once every couple weekends or so, I get to stay in bed while my wife takes care of Beckett in the early a.m. The same goes for her, and we switch off whenever possible. It usually ends up being once every couple months for each of us.
Mornings typically start at our house anywhere between 5 and 7 a.m. I must admit when there's a chance for a slightly expanded slumber its appealing. However, inevitably, the sounds of a toddler fill the house, making sleep difficult, but I must admit it's fun to listen to how the morning develops from bed.
In our house, our bedroom is directly above the living room, making it easy to hear everything that goes on below. With our son, if you can hear him, then more than likely you can figure out what he's doing.
For instance, I know that if I hear him yelling, "do-do-do", that means he sees the dogs first thing in the morning and wants to chase them out the door for their morning runs.
I know if I hear him saying "nana" incessantly that my wife must have shown him the banana he's about to eat for breakfast or he's actually enjoying it and saying it at the same time.
If I hear squeals resembling a monster meltdown, that more than likely means he is sitting in the refrigerator, refusing to move and my wife has been forced to pull him out and shut the door. This usually results in a tantrum, quickly forgotten about 30 seconds later.
If there's a long period of silence, that usually means one of two things – he's either taking care of some business, likely in a corner somewhere, or a song by the Fresh Beat Band or the Laurie Berkner Band has come on the television.
Perhaps my favorite sound I can hear from upstairs is the pitter-patter of his feet on the hardwood floors. Rarely is he walking from one point to another these days. Instead, he likes to run and it cracks me up. He runs from one end of the house to the other with arms out bouncing around and the curls in his hair moving from side to side. Best of all is the huge giggle and odd sounds when he runs.
With all this activity, I usually can't resist rolling out of bed and joining in the morning fun. The best part is seeing my son for the first time on any particular day and hearing the pitter-patter as he runs to me.

There's a hidden sugar crisis that's sweeping North America, and we're not talking about what's lurking in the nearest vending machine.
Drs. Oz and Roizen: 3 easy ways to reverse prediabetes
There's a hidden sugar crisis that's sweeping North America, and we're not talking about what's lurking in the nearest vending machine (although it does contribute to the problem). We're talking about the 80 million North Americans with prediabetes; a condition that is characterized by higher-than-normal blood sugar levels.
Prediabetes is a risky condition. It doesn't just put you in line for diabetes and all of its complications (which, of course, it does), but even before you develop full-blown diabetes, having slightly elevated blood glucose levels puts you at increased risk for heart disease and stroke, leg pain due to circulation problems, reduced kidney function and blood-vessel changes that can lead to vision loss and neuropathy (nerve damage), as well as sexual dysfunction and depression.
Unfortunately, only one in 10 people with prediabetes even knows they have it. And just a quarter of those folks are taking advantage of their big opportunity (knock, knock) to launch their own health rescue initiative before it's too late.
Scary statistic:Once you've got prediabetes (find out by asking your doctor for a fasting blood sugar test or the A1c test that measures average glucose levels over a three-month period), odds are you'll develop full-blown diabetes within nine to 10 years.
Amazing fact:While more than 65 per cent of North Americans have genes that predispose them to type 2 diabetes, it's almost 100 per cent preventable at the prediabetes stage and doesn't have to happen.
Here's how to move your blood sugar back into the healthy zone and sidestep the health risks of prediabetes:
Eat less beef:Simple, but it's true: More beef on your plate equals more diabetes risk. Eating an extra three to four servings of red meat per week boosts your risk for developing diabetes by about 50 per cent. A big, new study uncovered the connection by tracking the diets and health of 149,000 women and men for four years. The good news? Less beef equals less diabetes. Those who cut back even a little reduced their risk by 14 per cent.
What's the connection? Could be the saturated fat, a Food Felon that blunts your body's ability to absorb blood sugar, or simply that big servings of meat leave less room on your plate and in your stomach for diabetes-fighting goodies like whole grains, produce, fish and nuts.
Say "yes" to flavour, "no" to the Food Felons:One of the most powerful ways to increase the health power of food is to give your diet a taste of the old one-two: Knock out refined flour and added sugars and syrups, and then fill in the gaps with naturally tasty stuff such as spices and seasonal fruit. It's a great time for blueberries, blackberries and peaches. And indulge in the harvest of veggies like sun-ripened tomatoes and green beans. For good measure, add flavourful, fibre- and nutrient-filled whole grains like quinoa and quick-cooking barley.
What's so bad about sugars and refined carbohydrates? Another powerful new report spotlights the connection: In countries where people consume more sugary foods, diabetes rates are higher. For every extra 150 calories' worth of sweetener (the amount in a 12-ounce soda) consumed daily, diabetes prevalence jumped by one per cent. Turns out these empty calories increase your diabetes risk even if you don't overeat, by firing up inflammation and insulin resistance so that your body can't easily use blood sugar.
Take a short walk after breakfast, lunch and dinner:Think you don't have time for a daily walk? Turns out that fitting in a short stroll (about 15 minutes) soon after you eat keeps blood sugar levels low and steady for the next three hours. The movement encourages your muscles to use more sugar from your bloodstream. Try taking your partner, kids and/or pooch out for some foot-powered fun after dinner. Plenty of traditional cultures go for a walk after eating –like the Italian
passeggiata. Get out there, and start livin' the real
dolce vita!

It could be mounted in the wall or construction materials as a unique and special use.
Nishijin textiles from Kyoto make up about 80% of materials used in the obi. A variety of specialist artisan techniques go into the completion of a single obi sash. Fukuro-obi, maru-obi, and Nagoya-obi styles are typically used, and chosen designs are royalty-free. "Lucky" motifs which are not only pleasing to the eyes but also symbolize good omens are often used in obi patterns.

New moleskine sketchbook, always exciting and ever so slightly daunting, after all you don't want to mess up on the first page. So like a prise idiot I happened to be in Falmouth when the "urge" struck and so I had to go for it...quite a complex scene but I think it worked, especially the distant hills, click on the picture to see them!
Anyway Falmouth, great place, I went to art school here, many many years ago. I worked in a stinky little cafe on this very pier, called the "Koffee Kup", frying chips and providing disgusting drinks which called themselves coffee, it was the 70's, my paint water would have passed as coffee then!
I have decided to leave the very lovely group of daily painters that I have been a member of. For no other reason than I don't really feel that I am painting daily enough. I want to spend more time on studies towards larger pieces. I really enjoyed being in the group, I think they are all very worthwhile artists and was very proud to be associated with them, the caliber is high and I shall be keeping in contact with them but it is time for me to venture out into the wilderness , alone! Alone with my trusty moleskine and my dog...lets see what happens...

What Should I look for in a Water Softener?
Make sure the unit has enough resin to treat all the water you and your family will use. As of this writing, the average usage per day, per person (including children), for inside the house is 87 gallons. You should also be shown two or three ways to initiate recharging the unit.
The oldest way is by a timeclock, ie, your water usage is calculated and the frequency of recharging programmed into the timer. On the appointed day, at the appointed hour, the unit recharges. If all went as calculated, ok. If you were gone -- too bad -- you just wasted salt and water. If you had extra company -- too bad -- you ran out of soft water. You must pick a unit that will treat one days supply of water and still have about 40% of the resin in the recharged state. This will provide you with the most efficiency for salt and regeneration water.

Fine Arts
The Fine Arts minor enables students to develop skills and concepts in the studio arts. Students in studio courses learn to combine skills in using tools and materials, visual theoretical concepts, and new technologies, all of which are necessary for design professionals.
To be eligible for the fine art minor, a student must have completed a minimum of 30 undergraduate credits, have a declared major, and have a minimum GPA of 2.7. the academic requirement of 24 credits for the minor must be completed at or before the time of graduation.
Basic design pre-requisite courses are required for most Art & Art History courses, and some of these may have already been taken for a student's major. However, only nine credits of major-related coursework can be applied to the 24 credits required for the minor in fine arts. Students with design credits from other schools or departments may be allowed to apply them to their pre-requisite requirements only upon review by the fine art minor faculty advisor.
For a comprehensive guide to curriculum and required courses, click here.
For more information on the Fine Arts minor, contact Bruce Pollock.

CasaSugar & Charles & Hudson Room For HGTV Home Shaw Floors
How I Designed an Urban Bachelorette Pad From Scratch . . . in Less Than Two Days!
How I Designed an Urban Bachelorette Pad From Scratch . . . in Less Than Two Days!
Last month, I was given the opportunity of a lifetime. Shaw Floors, one of the nation's leading flooring manufacturers, invited me, along with nine terrific design bloggers, to North Carolina to learn about its new line of flooring for HGTV Home, which includes carpet, area rugs, hardwood, and laminate. In addition to being treated to a private tour of the Biltmore Estate, the largest private home in the US, in Asheville, dining like royalty, and staying at two beautiful hotels, including Greensboro's Proximity Hotel, we were offered the once-in-a-lifetime experience to design a room from the floor up, using Shaw HGTV flooring, paint from the Sherwin-Williams HGTV line, and our choice of furniture and accessories from the mammoth prop room of Tribuzio-Hilliard, a commercial photography studio in Greensboro that shoots and styles home furnishing catalogs.
With 100 percent creative control, I designed a room from floor to ceiling in less than two days. Thinking about how many months interior designers have to design rooms in showhouses or their clients' homes, I'm incredibly proud that the space I created reflects my tastes, feels unique and stylish, and has a lot of visually interesting things happening in it. I can't wait to share this experience with you, so please click through and learn how my special space came together!

Theatre Columbus State presents "A Murder of Crows"
Theatre Columbus State will present the dark comedy "A Murder of Crows" by award-winning playwright Mac Wellman February 27 – March 2.
The play examines the human condition of a dysfunctional Midwestern family.
Nancy Kephart, director of the play says "We're looking at all of these types of things that we don't like to talk about but are there—for instance, the greed and the bigotry. All of these things are touched upon in the play."
The stage play is fast-paced. It's a single act with nine quick scenes, lasting just about one hour.
A Murder of Crows includes adult language. Nightly performances are at 8:00 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday, February 27 through March 2, and there is a 3:00 p.m. matinee on Thursday, February 28. All performances are in Nestor Hall Auditorium and are free of charge. Due to the short length of the play, there will be no late seating once the performance starts.

Top high school automotive techs compete

Thirteen of the top local high school automotive vocational students competed to identify the best and brightest. The three top finishers and one alternate will move on to the State Competition in April. There they will be judged by industry professionals including Columbus State Automotive faculty. The top finisher from the State Competition will compete at the Skills USA Nationals.
Operation Ceasefire works to stop gangs
Columbus State is teaming up with Operation Ceasefire, a Columbus city pilot program to combat gang activities in the Near East Side.
"The program started in Boston in the mid-90s when youth homicide spiked in the inner city," says Don Ricker, instructor in Social Sciences. David Kennedy, a Harvard researcher, brought a data-collecting approach to the problem.
Kennedy's strategy relies on direct discussions with gang leaders. Stop the shootings and drug selling and gang members would be eligible for services, housing subsidies, and help finding jobs. The alternative would be full court police action coupled with federal, not state, sentences.
"The U.S. attorneys play a huge role," says Ricker, a former Houston police officer. He's in the middle of a housing and demographic study of the Near East Side neighborhood. A poll of residents called "A Neighborhood Disorder Survey," will be next. Once the pilot program is up and running, Hilltop and Linden neighborhoods are next in line. You can read a review of Don't Shoot (2011) by David Kennedy here. A link to the Columbus city program which focuses on inner-city violence prevention and conflict mediation is online here: APPs (Application of Purpose, Pride and Success).
Volunteers needed for Central District Science Day March 16
Columbus State will host the Ohio Academy of Sciences Central District Science Day on Saturday, March 16. Approximately 500 students from local area middle and high schools will present their science projects in hopes of advancing to the state competition in May. Volunteers are needed to judge these projects and to assist in the smooth operation of the activities.
Judges will be needed during the period from 8:00 a.m. to approximately 12:30 p.m. If you have never judged before, don't worry. An orientation session will assist you. All judging is done in pairs and any inexperienced judge will be paired with an experienced judge.
Additional volunteers are needed to assure smooth operations during the event. Times of service will vary. Volunteers help students find their display sites, assist in registration, tally up the scores, assist the judges by collecting score cards, and acting as hall monitors to maintain order and security. There is a volunteer job for every person regardless of science training.
This is an excellent community service opportunity so come and make it a success! If you would like more information about this event or if you want to volunteer as a judge or in any other capacity please contact John Blaha at ext. 5930.
Employees invited to OSCHE presentation
All Columbus State employees are invited to attend the Ohio Staff Council of Higher Education (OSCHE) Winter Meeting Friday, March 1, from 1:00 – 2:00 p.m. in the Conference Center Ballroom (WD) to hear David Cannon, Ohio's Vice Chancellor of Finance, speak about recent changes to college and university budgets. There will be a Q&A period following the presentation.

Precision Planting today announced a concept seed delivery system designed to allow Midwest farmers to plant at speeds up to 10 to 12 mph as opposed to the traditional 5 go 6 mph. The system, called, SpeedTube, takes the place of the traditional seed tube and controls the seed from the top of the seed meter to the bottom of the tube. More control of the seed ensures the seed is spaced evenly, even though speeds are being increased.
Sean Arians, marketing manager with Precision Planting, says the SpeedTube combines electric-meter-drive technology with its Vset seed meter. "What that does is it allows us to carry the seed from the meter down to the trench," Arians says. "We have the ability to do that since we are managing the seed down the tube. We will be able to increase planter speeds about double what growers experience today."
In conjunction with the SeedTube concept launch, Precision Planting has developed a new wireless, cloud-based communications system that will let you access all of your farm data from anywhere. Precision Planting is holding a conference this week called "Farming with speed" to talk about this new wireless platform along with partnerships it will be forming with other technology providers.
"Farmers must make decisions faster than they ever had to before," Arians says. "So along with making fast decisions, you have to have information available in cab. Farmers will be able to make decisions inside or outside the tractor cab and see what it is going on in their operation at any given time, via the internet or iPad."
Arians says the new platform will give farmers a single-source location for all of their farming information. The data can be shared with multiple machines wirelessly and sent back and forth wirelessly. "For example, if you have two planters running in the same field, with our technology you can share where the other planter has planted, so swath control will function correctly when you are going thru the field. Coverage is shared between both planters so your swath control will then function correctly and turn off as needed."
The company says it will release more details on SpeedTube after the spring planting season.

Freshbooks Invoicing and Then Some Service [Finally] Launches iPhone App
"It's been loooong, long time comin'…"
I've been a long time Freshbooks user. The online invoicing, expenses, and time tracking service makes it very easy to create professional invoices and get paid faster via PayPal integration. The service boasts 5 million small businesses in over 130 countries. To thank its users, and to grab even more users away from popular services like Intuit and Outright, Freshbooks has repurposed itself as the 'cloud accounting specialist' and launched a native iPhone app.
The mobile app includes all the majors features of the web service including:
- Creating and sending invoices
- Tracking project time
- Capturing daily expenses and attaching expenses to invoices
- Setting up PayPal payments
- Inviting staff members or sub-contractors collaborate on projects, invoices and time sheets
"The FreshBooks iPhone app was created so that small business owners could have even more flexibility with their FreshBooks account and access it from wherever their work takes them," said Mike McDerment, FreshBooks co-founder and CEO. "We know that people go into business to pursue their passion and serve their customers, not to learn accounting. That's the difference with FreshBooks cloud accounting: it's simple, accessible everywhere, and saves small businesses time on their billing."
I've been using a the third-party iPhone app MiniBooks and connected it my Freshbooks account via API. It has served me well, but it's pricey ($14.99 on iTunes) and doesn't have the account management capabilities of the native app, in addition to not looking as fly. I also use Outright as my main online financial software. Time will tell if Freshbooks can replace and consolidate all my business accounting services. Until then, I will glady give the Freshbooks app for iPhone a try…and let you know what I think.

View the photo gallery: Australian Outback
Koalas, those cuddly looking Aussie imports, for years spent much of their time indoors at the San Diego Zoo, the idea being that a temperature-controlled environment would be optimal for the health of females who are breeding and their young offspring.
Quite the opposite, researchers later learned. Without natural sunlight, the maturing marsupials were developing degenerative bone disease. The trouble was, there simply wasn't enough room at the zoo's koala exhibit to perch all the animals outdoors all the time.
Not so anymore. With the debut Friday of the zoo's Conrad Prebys Australian Outback exhibit, the growing koala population will be able to thrive outdoors in a far-roomier environment, joining other marsupials and birds native to the land Down Under.
View the Video The zoo's newest home for its koalas
Designed to mimic the animals' Australian homeland, the $7.4 million exhibit not only includes a brand-new habitat with more enclosures for the tree-perching koalas, but also aviaries and dedicated areas for wallabies and wombats — all accented with Aussie architecture, plantings and 8-foot-to-15-foot-tall Aboriginal-inspired totem poles.

While zoo officials say the new exhibit will improve the visitor experience, its greatest value is the enhanced health of the animals, believes Geoff Pye, the zoo's senior veterinarian. San Diego currently has the largest colony of koalas outside Australia.
"I'm over the top about it. From my point of view, it's the primary reason (for the new exhibit)," said Pye, whose research both in San Diego and on a remote, uninhabited Australian island led to scientific proof that koalas depend on exposure to sunlight to keep dysplasia and other bone disease at bay. "The bone conditions we see are the most obvious effects of vitamin D deficiency, so being able to put all of the koalas outside will help improve the overall health of the koalas.
"I'd rather prevent diseases than react to them, but you can't just build a new exhibit overnight."
While it was conceived four years ago, talk of replacing the aging, 1970s-era koala exhibit dates back a decade or more. Maintenance needs grew, and access for the disabled, while adequate, wasn't compliant with the most recent federal guidelines, explained Steve Fobes, architect for San Diego Zoo Global.
As ideas for upgrading the koala area grew more ambitious, it became clear that substantial funding would be needed. Enter San Diego businessman-philanthropist Conrad Prebys, a self-described lover of animals. He'd already contributed substantial sums for the zoo's elephant care center and polar bear exhibit and remained eager to do more.
"I was so thrilled by the result of my gift when it was completed, I approached the zoo and said, 'If you have anything coming down the pike, be sure and call me first,' " recalled Prebys, president of Progress Construction.
He ultimately made a $15 million donation, $4 million of which went toward financing Australian Outback. The remaining funding came from a variety of donors, whose names will be identified on plaques within the exhibit. The balance of Prebys' donation has been set aside for Africa Rocks, a future project to renovate one of the older canyon areas of the zoo.
"They also promised me they'd get some Tasmanian devils in (for Outback)," said Prebys. "I became a fan of them and went on a trip to Sydney, Australia, just to see them and also went to the state of Tasmania to see more of them. That was 10 years ago."
The zoo has, in fact, initiated what could be a lengthy process for securing approval from the Australian government to bring the carnivorous marsupials to San Diego, said zoo spokeswoman Jenny Mehlow. It is currently finalizing its conservation program for the animals. There is only one zoo outside of Australia — in Denmark — that has Tasmanian devils.
Among the bigger challenges the zoo faced in re-creating comfortable, protective habitats for the zoo's Australian inhabitants was devising enclosures that could contain the agile koalas and the speedy wallabies, said Fobes. The barriers not only had to be functional; they also had to blend into the Australian-themed look of the exhibit. Roughly two-thirds of the three-acre animal exhibit area is devoted to koalas.
"That's always the challenge, to develop barriers to keep animals in their exhibit but still have them look fairly natural," Fobes said. "We built some artificial walls that are constructed to look like eroded earth banks. We also introduced in a few places galvanized fencing — like that wavy metal you'd find on a roof — which they use in the outback. We sent our plans to Australia for officials to approve."
Even such details as the kind of soil that is easiest for the wombats to tunnel through and the types of native plantings best for propagating locally were reviewed by Australia-based experts.
While koalas are solitary creatures by nature, the zoo was still able to create a large, open area where all the females can coexist. That was not possible, however, for the males, who are territorial and would fight if kept together.
There are now 10 separate enclosures to accommodate the individual male koalas. And on those occasions when the zoo wants to facilitate breeding, there is one male exhibit area designed to overlook the female enclosure, Fobes said.
In keeping with the exhibit's Australian theme, a key architectural feature of the new attraction is the Queenslander House, designed to look like a typical home in Queensland, Australia, with its pitched roof, Victorian detailing on the porches and a wraparound, elevated veranda.
But it's more than a decorative element. The structure houses a classroom, as well as a food preparation kitchen and large walk-in cooler for storing buckets filled with eucalyptus cuttings to satisfy the koalas' voracious appetite for the leafy food.
The almost-always napping marsupials (they sleep as much as 20 hours a day) need their rest because of their low-caloric diet, which contributes to the animals' low metabolic rate, Pye said.
"If they ran around all day, they could never get enough calories from eucalyptus leaves," he added. "My advice to visitors is get to the zoo early and stay late because those are the two times when you'll see the most activity in the koalas."
In an effort to spread the word about the Outback exhibit, the zoo has launched radio and television advertising, and its marketing team paid a few visits to nearby markets like Phoenix, Los Angeles, Salt Lake City and San Francisco, sometimes accompanied by animals.
"We visited Google headquarters, and this was a bonanza of awareness for us," said Ted Molter, the zoo's director of marketing. "People took pictures and video and shared it with their friends on social media."
As much as Australian Outback fulfills a conservation mission, it also is key to raising the zoo's profile as a popular tourist attraction. Southern California, with a plethora of theme park choices, remains a competitive market for tourist dollars. Almost each year since 2009, beginning with Elephant Odyssey, the zoo has debuted major new exhibits or face-lifts of existing ones.
"We're always exploring new and better ways to take care of the animals, and that's a critical premise for any new attraction," said Molter. "And these are not temporary attractions. That being said, absolutely, we're competing with other theme parks and attractions for people's discretionary dollars. And my team is trying to make what the zoo and Safari Park offer people's first choice."

I have used LibraryThing for a long time but the interface is very unintuitive and "old school".
Are there some better alternatives out there?
I want:
- Nice looking GUI
- Good API to include recent books on my blog
- Possibility to add own book covers and import books from other sites like Amazon.
- Import/Export option

Howdee all,
Took a drive to my Sisters home in Niantic, CT.
She is far enough from the coastline and had no issues except for loss of power.
On the coast it was a different story.
We walked to the beach that we go to when visiting my Sister
And saw what was left of Crescent Beach.
The beach to the right had benches and gardens
The road to the left in this section is now full of sand and rock.
Road moved..
Sidewalk, Road…a jumble
Rocks everywhere..
What a mess..
It looked like most of these homes could be repaired.
It will take a while to be back to normal here..
Luckily many homes were unharmed..
It's a mess..but not as bad as many areas that were affected by Hurricane Sandy.
Video of Crescent Beach
My prayers go out to those who were impacted by this storm.
I cant even begin to imagine how difficult it must be.

News Release 13-184
Lab school brings manufacturing technologies to middle-school classrooms
Virginia engineering design academy is outgrowth of National Science Foundation-funded project
October 29, 2013
This material is available primarily for archival purposes. Telephone numbers or other contact information may be out of date; please see current contact information at media contacts.
A partnership among the University of Virginia's (UVa) Schools of Education and Engineering and the Charlottesville Public Schools has led to the launch of Buford Engineering Design Academy, a laboratory school for advanced manufacturing. In conjunction with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Sept. 30, National Science Foundation (NSF) leaders, UVa faculty and UVa and Buford students toured the site and saw the school's capabilities.
The new academy is the culmination of work undertaken in a project called the FabLab Classroom, an NSF Innovative Technology Experiences for Students and Teachers (ITEST) project led by Glen Bull, professor at UVa's Curry School of Education, and co-director of the Center for Technology and Teacher Education. The FabLab Classroom provided elementary and middle school students with fabrication technologies such as 3-D printers and computer-controlled die cutters. The students learned science through engineering design using these advanced manufacturing technologies.
Based on the promising results of the pilot, the Commonwealth of Virginia provided seed funding to design a laboratory school for advanced manufacturing. The funding provided by NSF and the Commonwealth of Virginia was matched by $1.4 million contributed by the Charlottesville Schools. The school will serve as a laboratory for integration of engineering design into science teaching while also serving as an experimental platform for preparing the next generation of science teachers to use these technologies.
"We like to see this kind of impact from a research project where NSF has made an investment," said NSF Assistant Director Joan Ferrini-Mundy, who leads the agency's Education and Human Resources directorate. "As there is more and more emphasis on teaching engineering concepts in K-12 classrooms, it's crucial that we understand the most effective strategies for student learning. The resources brought together through this partnership are building on the initial project and increasing its scope and reach. That's very exciting."
The Buford Engineering Design Academy is the first public school to become part of the Commonwealth Engineering Design Academies, a laboratory school partnership with UVa's Schools of Education and Engineering. The project pairs the expertise of UVa professors with Charlottesville-area public school teachers and students. As part of their professional development, middle-school teachers affiliated with the project spend a half day teaching at Buford and a half-day at UVa learning about advanced manufacturing and advanced manufacturing education.
The Buford Engineering Design Academy--to be followed by similar high-tech labs at Charlottesville High School and Albemarle County's Jack Jouett Middle School and Albemarle High School--will be linked via video to the partner lab at UVa, enabling UVa professors and students to offer lessons and develop innovations for the participating laboratory schools.
This unique network of labs, professors, teachers, and students has already attracted a television crew from Japan; in addition, a representative from China's National Center for Educational Technology will spend a year in Charlottesville to follow the project.
The school has opened its doors at a time when there is increased emphasis on the "engineering" part of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education research. Not only are engineering technology and applications of science part of the Next Generation Science Standards, but technologies such as 3-D printing are increasingly available and affordable.
"The next-generation science standards call for making science and engineering equal, but there are no science teachers today trained to teach science and engineering and, even more importantly, there are no professors of science education prepared to train teachers to teach science and engineering," says Bull. "We wanted to change this."
To help set the stage for K-12 schools successfully adopting science and engineering teaching and technologies, Bull is working with a group of teachers assigned to NSF through the Albert Einstein Distinguished Educator Fellowship Program. Led by elementary science, engineering, mathematics and robotics teacher Kaye Ebelt, the teachers have established a lab within NSF's Engineering directorate that parallels classroom manufacturing technologies found in the Lab School. The Einstein Fellows meet with the Lab School teachers each week to pioneer new pedagogical approaches to incorporating engineering design into science teaching. After these approaches to science teaching are piloted in the Lab School, they will be disseminated nationally.
There is more work ahead on the road to bringing this coursework to schools around the country."Integrating engineering design into science teaching is an important but challenging goal," said Bull. "The engineering design academies provide a test bed for developing effective practices."

Despite being one of the best actors of his generation, Sam Rockwell can't catch a break. The latest indignity to befall his career is "The Winning Season," in which he plays a basketball coach turned dishwasher who's given a second chance to mold a team.
In addition to Rockwell, the cast features a few on-the-rise names: Rob Corddry ("Hot Tub Time Machine") as the high school principal who hires Rockwell, and Emma Roberts ("It's Kind of a Funny Story") and Rooney Mara ("The Social Network") as two of Rockwell's players.
The trailer for "The Winning Season" season has arrived in concert with the announcement that it's coming Sept. 3. The trailer is just kind of a bummer, ith nobody really bringing the goods and the story appearing to be a classic paint-by-numbers tale of a coach who learns a little something about life from his players.
What makes the whole affair even more puzzling is that the film was written and directed by James Strouse, the man behind both "Grace Is Gone" and "Lonesome Jim." What possessed him to go in this direction?
Shareeka Epps, who was so good opposite Ryan Gosling in "Half Nelson," is another of Rockwell's cagers. It's great she's working, but like everyone else in this film, she deserves better.
Seeing as "Winning" was shown at Sundance in 2009, our guess is that all parties involved saw they had a dud on their hands, but when Mara, Roberts and Corddry all neared stardom, someone said , "Hey -- let's throw it out there!"
Rockwell can next be seen in "Conviction," opposite Hillary Swank as a man wrongly convicted of murder whose sister dedicates her life to seeing justice be done,
All that said, we do like Rockwell's maxim in the film: "It's not whether you win or lose, it's who's afraid to play you next time."
Maybe we're wrong about this movie, we'd love to be.
