If you could go anywhere in the world, where would it be?
That's what we asked our followers on Twitter and Facebook and the frequent travelers we interviewed on the streets of New York City. Their answers spanned the globe—from the beaches of Brazil to a South African safari to the Canadian Rockies.
Maria Leach posted to Facebook that her dream vacation would be chartering a private sailboat and exploring the Greek islands; A-List agent Mina Agnos can make this happen, with stops at Amorgos, Santorini, Mykonos, and the beaches of Folegandros.
For Sarah Jenks-Daly, wanderlust was inspired by a classic movie; she tweeted that "ever since seeing Indiana Jones, I've wanted to visit the historic sites of Petra." We researched how she might follow Indy's footsteps through Jordan's famous archaeological site, recommending she start early to avoid the heat—and sharing our favorite local tour guide.

Westwood leads as McIlroy lurks
Lee Westwood headed the 11 European players in the top 19 after the opening day of the 96th US PGA Championship, but Rory McIlroy was ominously poised on a crowded leaderboard at Valhalla.
Westwood equalled his lowest round in any major with an opening 65 to share the lead with American pair Kevin Chappell and Ryan Palmer on six under par.
But Open champion Rory McIlroy, seeking his third win in succession and a fourth major title, recovered from hooking his second shot to the 10th out of bounds and three-putting the 11th to birdie the next four holes in succession and record another on the 18th.
"The second shot on 10 was actually a bit of a shock, it's the worst shot I have hit the last few weeks," McIlroy said after his 66, his 11th consecutive sub-par round. "It came out of the blue and knocked me off track but to come back the way I did was great."
The hype surrounding McIlroy has been intense since he followed his victory at Royal Liverpool with another in the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational on Sunday, with even Jack Nicklaus quoted as saying the 25-year-old could surpass his record of 18 majors.
"People are going to get asked about me. They are going to give their opinion. If that's Jack's opinion, he has a high opinion of me," McIlroy added.
"I've always said I'm on three (majors), I want to get to four. Hopefully I can get to four this week and then keep going from there."
Westwood is still seeking his first major title at the 66th attempt, but also recovered from a double bogey on his 10th hole of the day with five birdies in his last six holes.
The 41-year-old had missed the cut in four successive events before a 63 in the final round in Akron last week and said: "Last week was a big week for me.
"I felt like I had turned the corner and I was starting to swing it a lot better but that's no good unless you start converting it into low rounds.
"The first three rounds were frustrating because I played a lot better than three over. Then obviously I got it going the final day and shot 63.
"I tried to keep it low-key in the practice rounds here, just playing nine holes each day, and carry that momentum through to the first round, which I've managed to do."
Italy's Edoardo Molinari, Sweden's Henrik Stenson and England's Chris Wood were alongside McIlroy on five under, with Finland's Mikko Ilonen four under. Ryder Cup hopefuls Joost Luiten, Ian Poulter and Shane Lowry were all three under along with Danny Willett and Bernd Wiesberger.
Sergio Garcia, Justin Rose and Luke Donald finished one under, although Donald had been just one off the lead before dropping four shots in his last five holes.

to Home
Organized by Susan Hoeltzel
Patricia J. Thompson:"Close to Home: An Homage to Hestia."
|September 4-October 29, 1996
Sally Minker, The High Anxiety Living Room, 1995
| CLOSE TO HOME is an exhibition
of large-scale installations and mixed media works inspired by the poetry,
labor, romance, and humor of domestic life. It includes the work of Steven
Brower, Esperanza Cortes, Taylor Davis, Ellen Driscoll, Lisa Hoke, Nene
Humphrey, Sally Minker, Michael Pribich, Rhonda Roland Shearer, Jeanne Tremel,
and Bettina Werner.
These artists explore the contents of home as source material, probing the familiar and the mundane. Their art is from everyday lifean art of the personal, the discarded, the overlooked, the outgrown. Nontraditional materials and "found objects"scouring pads, buttons, blankets, spoons, salt, sofas, beds, and other household items produce striking results in terms of their formal qualities, combining aesthetic appeal, epistemological insight, and sometimes a wry humor. Sally Minker's frenetic parody, "The High Anxiety Living Room," is a life-size, walk-in installation with an octopus-like phone system, flashing VCR, TV on the fritz, and Cubist furnishings, providing a richly detailed look at Americana in the Age of Anxiety. Steven Brower's replica of Frank Lloyd Wright's Robie House fashioned from Domino's Pizza boxes mixes metaphors of Prairie-style suburbia, combining high art and fast food. In another work, Brower creates a miniature construction site, with sheetrock walls in progress inside buckets of joint compound.
There is a sense of irony in the use of the found object in many of these art works. Jeanne Tremel creates two-dimensional works which read at a distance as paintings. Fashioned from powder puffs, scouring pads, dental floss, twist ties, and doilies, her unconventional media is at once quirky and beautiful. Most of the found objects come with a history. Michael Pribich's blankets, pillows, and mattresses combined with construction materials carry the marks of use and signs of life, something the artist describes as an "inherent presence." Their decorated surfaces impose the "personal" on the mass produced. Traces of wear and tear suggest earlier owners and allude to those without homes as well. Lisa Hoke also mines the ordinary. Her installation, "To Tie Knots in the Air," is a Zen-like meditation weighed by objectstubes of paint, nails in a jar, salt shakers, casters, and other "debris" now bracketed out of its daily use and set apart for aesthetic consideration. In another work, Hoke constructs a colorful totem of sleeves. In the work of Taylor Davis, floor sculptures incorporate fragments from home; amid formal compositions door and drawers appear.
Home furnishingsa bed and a tableprovide a vehicle to explore memory, choice, and chance in the work of Esperanza Cortes. On a single bed with a patchwork design reminiscent of a chessboard, Cortes has placed milagros/game pieces. They include hearts, torsos, and handsthe emotions, the physical body, and the symbol of action and controlsuggesting the permutations of possibilities these factors provide to the one who slumbers here. In "Altar to Those Forgotten," a table arranged like a traditional home altar and strewn with roses, alludes to lost traditions and broken connections. The furnishings in Ellen Driscoll's work function as symbol and metaphor. "Passionate Attitudes" is a part of a larger installation; its dreamlike imagery is based on the work of J. M. Charcot, a l9th century physician who studied female hysteria. The work includes a small metal table, two chairs back to back, plaster eggs, a glass brain, and a crystal ball containing a photograph of a patient being observed during the study. The work explores issues of collusion and self-deception, which developed between Charcot and his patients during the course of the research.
Nene Humphrey's works in this exhibitionmade up of hundreds of cascading spoons provide an image connected to nurturing and nourishment. In "Swarm," spoons are layered with hair-like wires; in "Aether" spoons hang suspended as if in a flurry of activity. Each spoon is individually cut and hammered into shape from a sheet of copper; its final patina gives the work an appearance of age and a hint of usage. Bettina Werner creates work from salt, a mineral associated with primordial life and the chemistry of the human body as well as a symbol of knowledge and hospitality. Werner's work in this exhibition consists of a large table which serves as a container for brightly colored salt as well as a functional setting for dinner parties.
Rhonda Roland Shearer takes a distinct" feminist approach to the drawings and bronze sculpture with images of women vacuuming, ironing, and cleaning toilet bowls. Her large-scale sculptures heroically portray the menial tasks of maintaining a home; their outlines are decoratively embellished with floral borders.
This exhibition was made possible by many people. I would like to thank Professor Patricia J. Thompson for her essay, which contextualizes the work in this exhibition within the field of feminist theory. This publication has been produced, in large part, through the ingenuity of Anne Perryman, to whom I am very grateful. The artists have been extremely generous with their timeinstalling the work and sharing their thoughts on the exhibition. I am particularly thankful to them. As always, the time, patience, and good cheer of the gallery staff has insured the success of this project, and I wish to thank Mary Ann Siano, Phillip Kautz, and Denise Mediavilla.

In this question I asked for a reference for the following lemma:
Lemma X: For every family $\mathcal G$ of nonempty finite sets there is a minimal "blocking set" $B$. By a "blocking set" $B$ I mean a set which meets each $F\in\mathcal G$, and "minimal" refers to the subset relation.
What is the exact strength (or approximate strength) of this lemma in the hierarchy of consequences of AC? Clearly it implies that for every family of finite sets there is a choice function (as the finite sets can easily be made disjoint, and for a disjoint family a minimal blocking set is the same as a choice function.)
In particular, is lemma X equivalent to AC for families of finite sets? Or does it at least follow from the (stronger) ordering principle? Or at least from the (even stronger) Prime Ideal Theorem?
Is there a natural condition on $\mathcal G$ which is weaker than "all elements of $\mathcal G$ are finite", but still implies the conclusion of the lemma above?

The Artful Parent Book Review and Blog Tour.
My bloggy friend Jean Van't Hul, is an artist, mother, and crafty blogger.
Her blog, The Artful Parent, is one of those rare lovely places on the internet
where I actually relax and always look forward to visiting.
Her home is filled with beautiful projects created by her two adorable daughters.
Jean and I have joked that if we lived closer we could have some wonderful
coffee play dates with our girls and make some serious messes together!
I love her "stained glass window art projects" and homemade pennants and garlands.
If only we had a giant picture window like Jean's somewhere in our house to decorate for each season!
I was so excited for her when she announced that she would be writing her own book.
A dream of Jean's nurtured into a reality, her book,
is everything I hoped it would be and more. I was lucky enough to get a sneak preview.
I was in bed for days with a nasty virus when her book arrived in the mail.
It was a wonderful distraction for me, an escape from the reality of my life filled with
dirty dishes, sick and bored kids, and piles of undone laundry.
It is all organized by the type of art material and filled with beautiful photographs.
She also has some guest chapters from some of my blogging colleagues
with a list of recommended art and craft blogs to visit
that I was only "slightly" hurt not to be included on.
Her book is full of so many easy and creative ideas - 60 different projects for you
to complete with your children and fill your home or classroom with beauty.
The best part is that they are all focused on the "process" not the final "product"
(a mantra a repeated daily in my classroom as an art teacher)
and her children's work reflects it through out the book.
Jean's book is a wonderful and rare departure from the usual craft books filled with
beautifully styled projects for children that were obviously created by an adult.
The artwork in her book is child made and genuine.
Want more sneak peeks into Jean's book - or a chance to win a copy?

Brushless motors
Brushless motors, also known as electronically commutated motors, are electric motors powered by direct-current electricity and having electronic commutation systems, rather than mechanical commutators and brushes. Brushless motors may be described as stepper motors, with permanent magnets in the rotor, and possibly more poles on the rotor than the stator, or reluctance motors.
Sensor-bearing units for small electric motors
SKF Sensor Bearing Units multi-sensing functions in addition to the normal bearing operation
SKF hybrid bearings for high speed electric motors
SKF has selected a range of grease-lubricated single row deep groove ball bearings with ceramic balls
Single row deep groove ball bearings for brush motors

Miss Bulgaria, Violina Ancheva, may not have won the recent Miss Universe pageant, but she won plenty of fans when she donated her pageant gown to the teenage daughter of a single mom, according to Today.com.
Ancheva announced on Facebook that she wanted to donate her dress, technically a two-piece consisting of a stunning blue skirt and sparkly, short-sleeved top.
"I want to give the dress to a girl in need that can't buy a dress for her prom the next month," Ancheva wrote.
U.S. & World
Responses quickly poured in, and in the end Ancheva decided the dress should go to Issay Gallano, a single mom in the Philippines, for her 15-year-old daughter, Zyra.

Dallas, Texas 75201

Fax: 214.520.8803 www.srdevelopmentinc.com
Saad Chehabi is a builder who is only satisfied when his client is. His personal attention to each project his S&R Development takes on means that his clients will receive an open line to the founder and chief executive of the very company they have hired.
Not many builders offer such access, which is why Chehabi's company has earned a spot among our exclusive list of CandysDirt Approved Builders.
"So far most of my projects have been in Highland Park and Preston Hollow, and I get attached to every one because I am hands-on," Chehabi said. "I will not take on a project unless I know I can personally be at the job every day of the week. Since I am at each job for a few hours a day, I will never take on more projects than I can handle and will not hand the project over to the superintendent on the job."
See what we mean? Chehabi, who came to Dallas 34 years ago from Syria to attend SMU, has fallen in love with the people and places that make the Park Cities such an incredible area. He's lived in Highland Park for 26 years, though he has traveled across the world and built in several highly-sought-after locations, too.
Chehabi has a background in design, founding one of the first high-end stone mosaic companies in the U.S. His firm supplied unique stone designs to the Bellagio, Mirage, and Venetian hotels in Las Vegas, the Atlantis resort in the Bahamas, along with the private residences of Oprah Winfrey, Miami Dolphins owner Wayne Huizenga, and many other celebrities. It was in 2002 that, after working on so many amazing homes, that Chehabi decided to start a residential construction company of his own. It's an enterprise that continues to provide a wellspring of ideas.
"I spend my weekends going through design books and hundreds of pictures to get ideas and inspiration," Chehabi said. "The first thing I do when visiting a new city around the world is explore the different bookstores, searching for building and design books. I was able to assemble a great design-reference library."
And the library that Chehabi has amassed has enabled him to solve many problems for his exclusive list of clients by designing and fabricating materials for his homes in a cost-efficient manner — an asset appreciated by clients over and over.
Chehabi is not one to wither from a challenge, either, making sure that, despite the setbacks a lot or location may provide, the client ends up with a home that will retain its value and livability.
"The most challenging project I have had was removing a large lot in Preston Hollow from the flood zone in order to build a new home. It was difficult dealing with the government and the Federal Emergency Management Agency," Chehabi said. Still, he has completed several 8,000-plus-square-foot projects in less than a year. "I can do that because I personally manage my job sites on a daily basis," he added.
His homes are ones that, while substantial, have a weightless feel thanks to the abundant sunlight. "I have great love for natural light," said Chehabi. "I always try to design my houses with the largest, top-quality windows, with a special love for steel windows."
But what happens when a project doesn't seem to be going the way a client imagined? "I meet with my clients regularly to present conceptual drawings and design ideas throughout the entirety of the project," Chehabi said. "I am very flexible and get along with everyone."
And while building unique luxury residences can seem like a business that never takes a break, that's not a problem for Chehabi, as he can't imagine doing anything else.
"If I changed careers I would still be a builder," Chehabi said. "I cannot sit still in an office. I have to be outside working."
Find out more about Chehabi and his firm, S&R Development, on their website.

Something which could be used on a business card and be cast into something like a belt buckle or engraved ( or stamped ) onto a saddle or the like. The version used for cards, letterhead or web page could have some colour but it should also work without the colour. It would be nice if it would enlarge to a size which would work for a road sign. I envision something really simple indicating water ( coming from underground - does not have to be shown ) running somewhat downhill in a "small" winding babbling brook with rocks in the brook (grass or bush floor, with maybe some taller plants on the sides) and some trees or tree overhanging the brook. I would like to see the pic. in an oval or round format such that the name can wrap around it.

Voices for the Cure 2012
When 21 year old Brigetta Barrett says that her life has been a roller coaster ride, she is telling the truth.
She grew up in New York, and faced some hard times along with her mom and two sisters before the family moved to Texas. Brigetta's dedication to academics and athletics brought her to Tucson, where she studies Media Arts at the University of Arizona.
Last summer, Brigetta went to London to compete in the high jump at the 2012 Olympic games - and she brought home a silver medal. It meant a lot to Brigetta that her mother, Lottie Barrett, was there to cheer her on, because all the while that Brigetta was training for the biggest event of her life, her mom was in a battle with breast cancer.
How would you tell your loved ones the news if you were diagnosed with breast cancer?
Amanda and her older sister Terri are very close, growing up in an Arizona family that placed strong emphasis on togetherness and the importance of faith. These qualities were put to the test in 2006, when Amanda first became aware that something might be wrong during a self-exam.
Her battle and her subsequent journey to healing would be very hard on Amanda, both physically and spiritually - but she never had to face it alone...
Tiana Molina seems pretty much like your average 11 year old. She's very bright, but a little shy, and she's just starting to make the important decisions about the young woman she will become.
It was about a year ago that her mother told her that a friend was receiving treatment for breast cancer. Like most kids, Tiana had lots of questions about what might happen -- but unlike most kids, she decided to find a way to make the situation better.
She organized a fundraiser to help women all across Arizona afford the mammography that could potentially save their lives. Tiana raised her school's awareness, and made a lot of new friends along the way. Here is Tiana talking with her mother Vidette about how it all started, while Tiana was watching a football game on TV with her dad, Rick...
Mareya Bullard and Rebecca Kerr are vibrant young women, and close friends who can talk to each other about anything. But only a year ago, they were each separately dealing with the fear, frustration, and pain of breast cancer, as well as its often devastating treatments.
In forging their friendship, they also forged a way to help each other face their uncertain futures. Today, both Mareya and Rebecca are very happily cancer-free. They still bear many scars from what they went through, but they also bear confidence, beauty, and some amazing strength...
Voices for the Cure 2011
When breast cancer strikes, even someone with a doctor's training may have to go through a process of acceptance to face the facts. And, men need to be just as vigilant as women for the early warning signs.
Breast cancer survivor Dr. Marty Giles went through the most difficult experience of his life with help from his wife Robin, as well as their two young children and an extended group of family and friends. Here, the Giles share some personal memories of what happened ten years ago...
BRCA-1, deleterious mutations, and double mastectomies - fighting your cancer means having to learn a new language, and making the hardest decisions of your life.
Cancer survivors Sherri Hitchings and Tori Crisione stand together bravely and deliver some very straight talk, sharing perspectives on the things that they both gained - and lost - from the tough choices that saved their lives...
Sometimes, upon receiving a diagnosis of cancer, the hardest part can feel like how to tell your family.
Janice Welchert received her diagnosis in June of 2007, which was less than a year after the death of her sister Marian from a different kind of breast cancer. But, using Marian's example, Janice was able to face the whirlwind of emotions that every cancer patient must confront with both bravery and grace. Here, she shares her memories of the experience with her mother, Rosemarie...
About 1% of all breast cancers occur in men, but often an array of societal factors can prevent them from acknowledging the threat, or even seeking treatment when the time comes.
After receiving his diagnosis, Ken Fones, a school counselor, coach, and local businessman, made it part of his purpose in life to spread the word that it's not just women who are stricken with the disease. Ken died in October, 2010, but here his son Craig and wife Genice carry on Ken's mission by sharing their own moving story of love and loss...
Special thanks to producer Matt Felix for his work on the 2011 series of Voices for the Cure.

Too Many Soft Drinks May Be Associated With Respiratory Diseases
Chronic respiratory conditions like asthma seems to occur more frequently in people drinking large quantities of sugary soft drinks, inflammation may be the key.
Soda Linked to Lung Disease
More bad news for soda lovers: in addition to obesity and heart disease, the sugary drinks may be tied to asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), Australian researchers found.
People who consumed at least a half a liter of soft drinks a day were more than twice as likely to develop either lung condition compared with those who didn't partake at all (OR 2.33, 95% CI 1.51 to 3.60), Zumin Shi, MD, of the University of Adelaide in Australia, and colleagues reported in Respirology.
The cross-sectional study, however, couldn't prove causality, and researchers not involved in the study suspect an overall unhealthy diet effect might be at play.
"High soda intake is a good marker for poor overall diet, and poor overall attention to health," David Katz, MD, director of the Prevention Research Center at Yale University in New Haven, Conn., said in an email to MedPage Today. "It likely suggests greater exposure to everything from tobacco smoke to air pollution."
Sugar-sweetened beverages have long been linked to a host of poor health outcomes, includingstroke and heart disease, but no study has yet assessed potential ties to asthma or COPD, the researchers said.
There are many potential explanations for the increased burden of asthma in Western countries -- less exposure to indoor allergens, improved hygiene, and use of antibiotics (the "hygiene hypothesis"), as well as poor diet and increased obesity -- but fewer noted risk factors for COPD.
Smoking, of course, is a major one, but up to 50% of airway obstruction can't be explained away by cigarette use, they wrote, thus the need to identify novel risk factors.
The group looked at data from the South Australian Monitoring and Surveillance System on 16,907 adults, mean age 46.7, who responded to phone interviews from March 2008 to June 2010.
The prevalence of asthma and COPD, based on self-reported doctor diagnosis, was 12.5% and 4.4%, respectively.
Though the vast majority (72%) said they didn't drink any soda at all, 11.4% reported taking down more than a half a liter of soft drinks every day. In addition to carbonated brand-name soft drinks, lemonade, flavored mineral water, and sports drinks were consumed.
Shi and colleagues found that folks who drank this level of soda had a higher prevalence of asthma and COPD than those who didn't drink any (14.7% versus 11.9% and 6% versus 4.2%, respectively).
In multivariate analyses adjusting for sociodemographic factors, intake of fruit and vegetables, and other life style factors, drinking half a liter of soda a day was associated with an odds ratio of 1.26 for asthma (95% CI 1.01 to 1.58) and an OR of 1.79 for COPD (95% CI 1.32 to 2.43) compared with never drinking soda.
The researchers also saw combined effects for drinking soda and smoking. Consuming more than half a liter a day and being a current smoker carried a 6.6-fold greater risk of COPD and a 1.5-fold higher risk of asthma than not smoking and drinking soda, they reported.
"The combined effect of soft drink consumption and smoking on asthma/COPD emphasizes the importance of lifestyle factor clustering in the etiology of asthma/COPD," they wrote. "Promoting a healthy lifestyle should be encouraged as one means of preventing asthma/COPD."
The mechanisms behind the relationships, however, are unclear. Both asthma and COPD are associated with inflammation, and it could be that foods promoting oxidative stress and inflammation could affect the pathogenesis of these diseases, they wrote.
Drinking soda has also been tied to a higher risk of obesity, which in turn leads to a greater likelihood of developing both lung diseases, they said.
And studies have shown that chemicals such as phthalates from plastic bottles, as well as allergies to preservatives such as nitrites and sulphites, may be linked to asthma.
In addition to not being able to prove causality, the study was limited by its reliance on self-reported data.
Still, Shi and colleagues concluded that "regardless of whether there is a cause-and-effect relationship, the public health implications of consumption of large volumes of soft drink are substantial."

If he had to do it over again, he probably wouldn't have drank so much and dropped that anchor.
A California businessman was sentenced Tuesday to four months behind bars and three years of probation for dropping anchor while aboard a Holland America cruise ship.
Rick Ehlert, 45, of Thousand Oaks, had earlier pleaded guilty to making his way to an off-limits area of the MS Ryndam after a epic night of drinking and releasing an 18-ton stern anchor.
U.S. & World
The ship was traveling at 18 knots as it returned to Tampa from Mexico on Nov. 27, 2010 -- until Ehlert brought it to a halt, The Associated Press reported.
The move delayed the ship by three hours as the ship's captain made sure all 1,600 passengers were safe, The Tampa Tribune reported.
On the night of the incident, Ehlert drank three or four glasses of wine at dinner at 9 p.m., before having a wine glass full of vodka and a dose of the sleeping drug Ambien in his stateroom, according to court filings.
A couple hours later he headed to the ship's casino area where a passenger bought him a martini. He went on to buy four single martinis and one double martini, the Tribune reported. When the bar closed he ordered three more double martinis and later broke into a liquor cabinet where he consumed a quarter of a bottle of pilfered Grey Goose vodka, according to the paper.
U.S. District Judge Steven D. Merryday called the incident a "bothersome crime."
In addition to the jail time, Ehlert was ordered to pay a $7,500 fine and to participate in substance abuse and mental health counseling, the Tribune reported.

Tuesday morning wasn't the first time that Hector Forastieri had to clean up blood from a sidewalk in Rogers Park.
A maintenance man at an apartment building at Ashland Avenue and Jonquil Terrace, Forastieri this time poured bleach and hot water on the jagged pool of blood where Keno Glass, 16, was killed in a shooting hours earlier as he visited friends.
Glass, an aspiring rapper who went by the name Kay Pee Lashore, was the latest casualty of gun violence in a Far North Side community that has now seen 15 people shot, three fatally, so far this year.
Forastieri, who has worked at the apartment building for about five years, said he has witnessed gunfire while walking down Jonquil, a pocket of the ethnically and racially diverse community that for years has been plagued by gang conflicts and violence.
"I don't want to work over here, but I have to," said Forastieri, trying to sweep the blood away with a broom along the icy sidewalk left icy by Monday's snowstorm.
Glass, a student at Senn High School who was on spring break, was shot in the head at about 2:40 a.m. Tuesday by one or more occupants of a gray minivan, Chicago police said. He died at the scene.
Charlie Carter was watching TV in his second-floor apartment in the building when he heard four gunshots. He looked out of his window and saw Glass lying on his back on the sidewalk.
"Then I heard somebody else...crying," Carter said Tuesday in front of the building.
Officers, responding quickly to a call of shots fired, saw a vehicle flee the scene, said police, citing preliminary information. The vehicle crashed nearby and officers apparehended at least one possible suspect on foot, police said.
Police were questioning at least two persons of interest, but no charges had been filed as of Tuesday evening, authorities said.
The shooting happened across the street from the Stephen F. Gale Math and Science Academy and about three blocks from the Howard station on the CTA's Red Line. The motive for the shooting remained unclear, police said.
Glass' brother, Antwan Hubbard, 19, said his brother "had a good heart."
"He just wanted to get his family out of the hood. He wanted to make a change for everybody. That's why he was rapping," Hubbard said. "To make a change."
The neighborhood is statistically one of the safest in the city. But so far this year, 14 people in addition to Glass have been shot, according to a Tribune analysis. Glass was the third fatal shooting victim in the neighborhood so far this year.
The previous homicide came on April 7 when Darnall Gordon, 36, was fatally shot and two others wounded outside a convenience store near Ashland and Howard Street, just a few blocks south of Tuesday's shooting.
Much of the violence in Rogers Park over the last few years has been attributed to feuding between two factions of the Gangster Disciples, according to police sources. But another brother of Glass' denied hs brother belonged to a gang.
Anthony Doss, a supervisor with the anti-violence group CeaseFire Illinois, said flare-ups are bound to happen in the neighborhood.
"It has its moments where violence is its daily agenda," said Doss, who works with troubled youths in Rogers Park.
Carter, 42, who has lived in the apartment for about two years, continues to be bothered by the gang violence in his neighborhood, violence that he says takes place in the dog days of summer as well as the dead of winter.
"I just don't want to be walking out the door and bullets flying everywhere," he said.

"The Way We Were" "capped a rare entertainment grand slam" AMG in that the song, album, and movie all hit #1. AMG Streisand was no stranger to the Billboard pop charts, having racked up 20 hits since "People," taken from the musical Funny Girl, charted in 1964. However, "The Way We Were" was her first chart-topper – she would accomplish the feat four more times – and her second of eight to the adult contemporary charts.
Barbra conveys "the lyric with great passion and style, without resorting to overly sentimental histrionics." AMG The result was the biggest song of 1974 WHC and one of her "finest performances." AMG The song is "ingrained into the memory of anyone who was listening to radio in the mid-'70s." AMG
The movie "starred Streisand and Robert Redford as a pair of opposites who fall in love. They are followed "from college to marriage to divorce and beyond." BR1 The use of the word "memories" throughout the song perfectly captures the essence of the film's focus on "emotions of long-term (and long-lost) love." AMG
The original movie version of the song was recorded with an orchestral backing which was scrapped in favor of a more pop arrangement for the single and Barbra's subsequent album of the same name. BB100
When awards season hit, the track took home prizes for Best Song at the Golden Globes and Academy Awards. The song was also ranked #8 on the American Film Institute's list of top 100 film songs of all time. WK
- one of the top 100 songs of the rock era, according to the DMDB

BlackBerry manufacturer RIM has revealed the long awaited BlackBerry 10 launch date with the company's next-generation smartphone OS to land on January 30.
Having previously been planned to land in 2012, RIM confirmed earlier this year that the long overdue BlackBerry 10 release date had been pushed back to 2013 with today's announcement the first confirmation of the iOS 6 and Android 4.1 Jelly Bean rival's arrival.
"In building BlackBerry 10, we set out to create a truly unique mobile computing experience that constantly adapts to your needs," RIM CEO Thorsten Heins said. "We believe our customers will have the best experience possible with BlackBerry 10. We are looking forward to getting BlackBerry 10 in the hands of our customers around the world."
As well as outing the latest operating system, RIM has revealed that the BB10 launch will see the unveiling of two new BlackBerry handsets with Sky News reporting that the Canadian smartphone behemoth will launch "both touchscreen and keyboard versions."
BlackBerry 10 Features
A whole new direction for the flailing BlackBerry brand, RIM has confirmed that BlackBerry 10 will see the company move to a fully touch optimised OS with both touchscreen and full QWERTY led handsets reportedly on the cards from the former giant of the smartphone scene.
Attempting to offer a more immersive and smoother user experience, BlackBerry 10 handsets will feature the new BlackBerry Flow UI which will allow users to swipe between apps and menus without having to jump back and forth between programmes much like you do on the iPhone 5 and other iOS handsets.
Centring the system around the BlackBerry Hub, the localised system for all manner of email, messaging and call notifications, the BlackBerry Flow UI offers instant access to the hub at any point for a more seamless user experience than many current mobile systems.
Maintaining the business roots of the BlackBerry brand whilst embracing the more personal appeal the company has received in recent years thanks its large to its BBM BlackBerry Messenger service, upcoming BlackBerry 10 handsets will also boast BlackBerry Balance, a selection of software which creates a split between work and casual accounts.
Helping create a better work-life balance, the new BlackBerry Balance services allows users to switch between the two modes, literally switching off at the end of the working day.
BlackBerry 10 Release Date
Set to launch in the weeks following CES 2013, the world's largest annual tech convention, the newly confirmed January 30 BlackBerry 10 launch date will see the latest BlackBerry OS launched on the build up to MWC 2013 and the arrival of new high-end smartphone devices from Samsung, HTC, Sony and all the other key handset players.
Are you excited by the arrival of the upcoming BlackBerry 10 OS or do you feel the Canadian company is too far down the drain to recover? Let us know your thoughts on the matter via the Trusted Reviews Twitter and Facebook feeds.

My View: Notes from the front row
Unbelievable but believable. Of course the old guard Sierra Club would sue the regional plan. Given the number of years and hundreds and hundreds of meetings to bring together a fragile compromise on the regional plan, it kind of was no surprise they would sue. What they claim is that, by shifting authority for development decisions to local agencies, Tahoe Regional Planning Agency will be eager to approve new projects at the expense of environmental protections. What they are saying is that local government and residents cannot be trusted to protect the environment, but they are.Instead of working together to develop a compromise that, while not perfect for everyone, allows the community and the two states to move forward, old guard environmental groups are not satisfied. They want to impose their will on everyone, they are like an occupying army. It would be one thing if they proposed a better, science-based idea, but they don't. Despite the fact that thousands and thousands of hours by scientists, engineers, community members and more and millions of dollars have been spent — a couple of locals know better. Arrogance of the highest order.What the Friends of Tahoe Vista, North Tahoe Citizens Alliance Friends of Lake Tahoe and the North Tahoe Preservation Alliance as well as the Sierra Club propose is more of the same. These groups put up no science, they have no data of their own, yet they propose to fix the environmental problem by doubling down on failed policies. This is the equivalent of "Voodoo Environmentalism." These groups rail against redevelopment, which brings with it cutting-edge environmental technology and strategies designed to reduce sediment runoff, and they fall back on the same old any-development-equals-bad-development argument. But they are wrong and the facts show them as wrong. What is bad for the lake is the current old strip development infrastructure that facilitates erosion and sediment. They pine against smart development as if they and only they have the answer despite the fact that these very practices and strategies have been used by communities across the country that care just as much about their environment.Having a feel-good ideology to protect the environment and actually doing it are two different things. Make no mistake, these neighborhood Nimby groups are protecting a failed status quo and need to be held to account for the damage their actions are doing to the environment. There is an environmental cost of doing nothing.The fall-out: There is much at stake, perhaps the biggest is the future of TRPA. By filing a lawsuit, the Sierra Club has given fuel to those in Nevada who will seek to leave the compact under SB271. They don't seem to get this or take the threat as real but the state of California does. Just last week, two senators proposed SB 630, which is a contingency plan if Nevada leaves the compact.
I am getting a bit tired of those complaining about presidents who play golf. First of all, I like a president, Republican or Democrat, who is out there having some fun. In fact, I'd be suspicious of any politician that did not have a hobby. It's good to see a president having a chance to play at their passion. Secondly anyone who has ever played golf knows it is the most humbling of games. Just when you think you're on top of the world the next moment you're in the weeds. Perfect for a president. Play on Mr. President.I think I am for the sequester. While I know it's bad policy, it might be just the thing to shake up the country and more importantly Republicans and democrats in Washington.
Don't miss the movie "Sound City," a really good film about the sound city recording studio in Van Nuys not far from where I used to work as a kid. The film is good on a number of levels, but most interesting it reveals how technology impacted the industry and how there is less of a reliance on true musicianship an how music today can be created by computer alone. It's a first film for Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters) and, if you have any interest in music, you will appreciate it.If you're a fan of tri-tip and what non vegetarian don't love trip tip. Don't miss the Phil Lesh Tri Tip sandwich at Hot Gossip. Mighty tasty.
Scott Valentine had it right in his opinion piece. The needs of younger people need to be addressed. That won't happen unless they get involved with the heavy lifting needed for change.— Carl Ribaudo is a contributing columnist to the Tahoe Daily Tribune.

Stress Test
These are the times that try men's souls.
— Thomas Paine
December 23, 1776
The Angels won 100 games in 2008, a franchise record, yet lost to Boston in the first round of the playoffs. Pundits claimed it was because the Angels had too easy of a season, winning the division by 21 games. They hadn't been challenged, the pundits declared, therefore they weren't conditioned for the pressure of the post-season.
No one can make that claim in 2009.
The Angels look like George Washington's rag-tag Revolutionary Army, huddled at Valley Forge in the darkest days of the rebellion.
John Lackey, Ervin Santana and Kelvim Escobar began this season on the disabled list. They were soon joined by Dustin Moseley, who earned a job in the starting rotation, and Darren Oliver, who was pushed into the rotation out of the bullpen.
That would be enough to test any team, but the horrific tragedy of Nick Adenhart's death on April 9 put the business of baseball in perspective. Baseball is entertainment. This was life and death.
And for good measure, power bat Vlad Guerrero has gone on the disabled list with a torn pectoral muscle. It'll take a month to determine if he'll even be able to DH later this year.
The Angels' pitching staff has become a sad parody. No knock on them, but there are four or five guys on the staff right now who really should be in Triple-A.
Most fans understand the circumstances, but as usual there's always the instant gratification crowd who are currently trashing fan boards with demands that heads roll. They're only into themselves, 'nuff said.
Let's put all this into perspective.
The Seattle Mariners' magic number is 140.
The Angels are currently 6-10. In 2002, when they won the World Series, they started the year 6-14. We saw the same rants online demanding heads roll.
The press has started to chime in with suggestions that the Angels make a quick-fix trade or sign an aging free agent such as Pedro Martinez or Paul Byrd.
Neither alternative really makes much sense, primarily because Lackey and Santana are about three weeks away from returning to the rotation. It would take Martinez, Byrd, or any of those other options at least that long to build up their pitch count to mid-season form. If one of those guys would take a minor league contract deal with a big-league option, I'm all for that, because they provide depth. But they won't fix the immediate problem.
A trade to add a quality starting pitcher would help, but those kinda guys really aren't on the market at this time unless you're willing to overpay. The Angels don't have that kind of depth right now. Adenhart was a big bargaining chip — according to media reports, many teams inquired about him during the winter — but his loss left a big hole in trade scenarios. Other teams would probably ask for Jordan Walden, but if he goes then the Angels have no real "top prospect" starters within range of the big leagues.
My opinion is that the Angels will emerge from all this tragedy, tested by fire, united by grief, a team not just in name but in spirit. Assuming no more injuries, Lackey and Santana return by mid-May, Escobar not far behind them, the bullpen calms down and pitches to its abilities, and Guerrero can at least DH. I suspect at some point they'll find a way to get Brandon Wood's power bat in the lineup.
All they need to do is stay within range, because once they re-arm they're the best team in this division, hands down.
I'll close with this passage from The Crisis by Thomas Paine written on December 23,1776.
THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value.

In 2009, A.V. Club head writer and hip-hop specialist Nathan Rabin decided to spend a year or two immersing himself in the canon of country music, a genre he knew little about, but was keen to explore. The result: "Nashville Or Bust," a series of essays about seminal country artists. After 52 entries, Rabin plans to travel south and explore some of country music's most hallowed landmarks and institutions.
Well, friends, we are nearing the end of the ramshackle two-year journey that is Nashville Or Bust, and I am in an appropriately reflective mood. There is a whole lot I will miss about this series: the music, you beautiful people, the thrill of discovery, and the reassuring universality of country's most resonant themes. But more than anything I will miss the stories.
Country is a storyteller's medium. Many of its best stories are found not in the lyrics of honky-tonk standards but in the lives of the men and women who wrote, sang and lived them. Take the last entry on Porter Wagoner, for example. I somehow managed to devote 1,700 words to the man in the rhinestone-studded Nudie suits without delving into the many fascinating detours of his later career: his brief, unfortunate flirtation with disco; his sad, inherently doomed attempt to try to make audiences forget about his acrimonious split with Dolly Parton by hiring a tragically permed, all-female backing band dubbed The Right Combination (after a duet he performed with Parton, sadly but appropriately enough); or Wagoner inviting James Brown to perform at the Grand Ole Opry over the strong objections of much of the conservative Nashville establishment.
I wasn't able to track down a biography or autobiography of Johnny Paycheck, but I have no doubt his life would make for a terrific book, movie, or telenovela. It was that dramatic. Like most people, I knew Paycheck primarily as the man who sang, "Take This Job And Shove It," a David Allan Coe-penned, borderline-novelty song that became a bona fide pop-culture phenomenon, even inspiring a 1981 film adaptation starring noted country icon Robert Hays and featuring supporting turns from Paycheck and Coe.
Ah, but there is so much more to Paycheck than "Take This Job And Shove It." For starters, Paycheck, back when he still called himself Donny Young, played a central role in establishing the sound and style of one of country's preeminent icons when he played bass and steel guitar and sang tenor for George Jones as part of Jones' backing band. Jones, as you might remember, began his career as something of a Hank Williams knock-off; with Paycheck he developed the phrasing and delivery that would someday make him a legend.
The two men learned a great deal from each other. On early recordings on his own Little Darlin' label, Paycheck sounds more like what George Jones would become than Jones did on his first few singles. Paycheck's work on Little Darlin' boasts a loose, anarchic energy far removed from the plastic perfection of the Countrypolitan sound.
Producer Billy Sherrill cleaned up some of Paycheck's rough edges during the singer's '70s heyday, though Paycheck could still let loose with a cage-rattling country-blues howler like the darkly funny prison song "11 Months And 29 Days." Paycheck spent his most productive decade balancing the pop and outlaw elements of his persona. Of course, by the time "Take This Job And Shove It" hit No. 1 on the country charts in 1977, outlaw country was pop. What began as a rebellion against fakeness and plasticity became a faddish marketing hook. Paycheck, like kindred spirit Coe, was a fascinating combination of calculation and authenticity, ambition and self-destruction. He was the real deal, despite boasting an egregiously fake stage name.
Accordingly, "Take This Job And Shove It" transforms the rebellious anger of outlaw country into something of a hillbilly cartoon. (It's all too fitting that Paycheck performed the song on Dukes Of Hazzard.) Paycheck's signature hit is a savvy bit of wish-fulfillment, an underdog blue-collar anthem for clock-watchers, wage slaves, and disgruntled factory workers who dream about going all JetBlue-flight-attendant and telling glowering authority to go fuck off. It's a trifle, yet Paycheck invests it with an awful lot of genuine emotion: wounded pride, sadness, defiance, longing, and heartbreak.
Paycheck was a hell-raiser onstage and off. His battles with the I.R.S. lend a cheekily voyeuristic element to his goofy blues number "Me And The I.R.S.," just as his battles with cocaine and alcoholism inform drinking and carousing songs like "(Stay Away From) The Cocaine Train" and "Fifteen Beers." Paycheck lived his shtick. He didn't just sing about prison; he spent 22 months in the slammer in the early '90s for shooting a man in the head.
As his name suggests, Johnny Paycheck was the quintessential blue-collar country singer. Even at his poppiest, he maintained a proletarian edge. There's only a hint of honky-tonk in "Slide Off Of Your Satin Sheets," three minutes of pop-country perfection about a rich woman whose wealthy husband gives her everything she could possibly want except what she hungers for most: the calloused hands of the working-class protagonist. Paycheck's singing is so vivid and visceral that when he sings, "Slide off of your satin sheets / slip into your long, soft mink" you can practically feel the textures.
The intensity of Paycheck's emotion-choked delivery lends an air of almost unbearable sadness to his tearjerkers. On the autumnal, world-weary "I've Seen Better Days," the idyllic perfection of nature throws the protagonist's heartbreak into sharp relief, while on "Old Violin," Paycheck's exquisitely defeated vocals overcome unnecessarily busy '80s production.
There's a reason a Johnny Paycheck best-of is called The Soul & The Edge. Like George Jones, Paycheck's albums covered a broad spectrum of emotions; he could break your heart, but he seemed to prefer making people laugh a lot more with songs like "I'm The Only Hell (My Mama Ever Raised)" and "Ragged Old Truck."
On "Colorado Cool-Aid," the B-side to "Take This Job and Shove It," Paycheck invites listeners to belly up to the bar for a tall tale about an evening of carousing with some Mexican pals that takes a dark turn when a bully comes over and spits in the ear of one of Paycheck's drinking buddies. In what is perhaps something of an overreaction, the Mexican fellow takes out a knife and slices off the bully's ear. He's a gentleman, however, as Paycheck notes with a chuckle, so he's nice enough to pick up the ear and hand it back to the bleeding, one-eared bully so that he can spit in his own damn ear should the impulse ever strike him again.
"Colorado Cool-Aid," which Paycheck recites rather than sings, doubles as some of the most effective musical product placement this side of Run-DMC's "My Adidas." Paycheck imbues the lyrics "What's that you say? / What's Colorado Cool-Aid? / Well, it's a can of Coors brewed from a mountain stream / It'll set your head on fire an' make your kidneys scream / Oh, it sure is fine" with ripe sensuality. Like the best pitchmen, Paycheck really seems to believe in what he's saying, whether he's mourning a lost love that turns blue skies black or merely drooling in anticipation at the prospect of a can of cheap domestic beer. On "Colorado Cool-Aid," Paycheck manages to make a fucking can of Coors seem like the nectar of the gods through delivery and misplaced conviction alone. If that's not the mark of a gifted singer and storyteller, then I don't know what is.

Rebels sweep Hinckley-Finlayson, defeat Proctor in five games
The Moose Lake-Willow River Rebels swept the Hinckley-Finlayson Jaguars in three games in the season opener. Adri Jusczak led the way with seven kills and Haley Johnson had eight digs.
After leading two games to none, the Rebels got a real test of fortitude against the Proctor Rails in Moose Lake as the match lasted nearly two hours and went five games on Thursday, September 5.
The game scores were 25-19, 25-16, 23-25, 22-25 and 17-15.
According to head coach Beckie Jackson, the Rebels served at a rate of 85 percent with 21 aces as a team, but with 16 service aces.
Karina Cisar had 12 kills to lead the Rebels in the match. Cisar also had five ace serves and five blocks, with four of those assisted and one of those being a solo block. Andrea Youngberg had six aces. Jodi Michalski had 10 kills and Adri Jusczak had six assists. Nikki Grutkoski put up 19 set assists and Maddie Ross added nine set assists. Adri Jusczak and Kayla Radel each had five aces and Haley Johnson added three digs.
Game one began with Grutkoski on serve and Johnson chasing a hit that would have been long. Dana Olson killed for 2-4. Lauren Ross ripped two aces, but Proctor came back for 9-7. Youngberg killed to knot it at 9-9.
Youngberg killed off a block and Michalski mashed a winner. Cisar sliced a sweet cross courter for 13-11. Olson blocked, but the Rails rallied for 16-16. Two aces by Radel prompted a Proctor time out as they were down 18-20. A deep serve by Radelwas not effectively passed by a Rail for 21-18. A Michalski kill was game point at 24-19 and Cisar sizzled the game-winner for 25-19.
Cesar killed for game two and a Michalski killed for 6-6. Cisar spanked two beautiful jump aces and Radel killed. Radel blocked and down 10-13, Proctor called time. Grutoski aced and Michalski killed. Michalski blocked for 19-12 and Cesar killed for 22-12. For the win, it was Ross on a kill and Michalski on another for the 25-16 win.
Proctor would come back and squeak out a 25-23 win to make it two games to one.
The third game was also close at 25-22 for the Rails.
An ace by Youngberg made it 4-4 in game five. Olson tipped.. As Youngberg missed a kill, ML-WR called time down 9-12.
Jusczak killed and Cisar blocked for 11-12. Jusczak made a smart tip for 12-13 and Proctor called time. Youngberg tipped off a block to tie it at 13-13. Cisar and Youngberg combined on a huge block for 14-14.
Proctor blew a pass and called time down 15-14 and came back with a kill off a double block for 15-15. Cisar's big kill made it 16-15. Michalski killed off a block for the game and match winner at 17-15.
