STARS Course
Course in Sustainability Research for Spring and/or Summer
Options for credit: Individual Study, Internship (GEOG/NRM 300), or Honors Contract
This course can be taken as 1-6 Undergraduate or Graduate credits, with the potential for some level of tuition assistance (institutional support).
Click here to jump to info on how to sign up
The UAF Office of Sustainability, in partnership with faculty to be determined, is sponsoring a course for 3-15 students to conduct the Sustainability Tracking, Assessment, and Rating System (STARS) program for the UAF campus. The Office of Sustainability will direct the project. Student work will include collecting and analyzing data from throughout the campus and reporting it using the STARS tools. This is a comprehensive sustainability assessment that includes topics such as research, classes, co-curricular education, administration, planning, finance, investments, diversity, and operations, including energy, water, waste, cleaning, paper use, purchasing, food, transportation and more.
The goal is to provide a thorough and accurate sustainability assessment of the campus to earn points toward an official 3-year rating. This rating will be public and may be used by future students considering UAF in their selection of universities. This tool will also be a guide for advancing sustainability in all sectors of UAF.
The course is designed to credit both undergraduate and graduate study either through Individual Study, Internship (GEOG/NRM 300), or Honors Contract.
STARS, developed by the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education (AASHE), is a voluntary, self-reporting framework for gauging relative progress toward sustainability for colleges and universities. More information about AASHE and STARS can be found at www.aashe.org/ and www.aashe.org/stars/index.php
STARS is designed to:
1. Provide a guide for advancing sustainability in all sectors of higher education.
2. Enable meaningful comparisons over time and across institutions by establishing a common standard of measurement for sustainability in higher education.
3. Create incentives for continual improvement toward sustainability.
4. Facilitate information sharing about higher education sustainability practices and performance.
5. Build a stronger, more diverse campus sustainability community
• An opportunity to gain real-world sustainability experience and help UAF become a more sustainable campus.
• Gain a strong grasp of what an organization needs to do in order to consider itself a leader in sustainability
• Learn how sustainability assessment is conducted in an organization – a critical, transferable skill
• Network with other students and campus members interested in sustainability
• Learn what other campuses are doing for sustainability
The Office of Sustainability will hold a meeting with all selected students and faculty members to review what is needed and to plan how students can take responsibility for particular areas. Faculty will determine how students will be graded and communicate the expectations for meeting requirements of the course. There may be an opportunity to develop a paper for presentation at the national AASHE conference next October in Pittsburg. The Office of Sustainability will work with students to manage the project, establish deliverables and timelines, and develop data collection, analysis, and reporting methods. The Office of Sustainability will provide training on tools and methods as needed to make the project successful. This project has the full support of UAF administration.
How to sign up
There are 3 ways to take the course:
1) Students in Natural Resources Management and Geography can take the class as an internship. NRM/GEOG 300 (CRN 34832) are variable credit courses. The number of credit hours that will be earned by the student intern is established prior to the initiation of the internship. This number ranges from 1-3 credits per semester. Several considerations enter into establishing credit for the internship: current credit hour load, number of contact hours per week the student can realistically complete, amount of time the Cooperating Supervisor can spend with the intern, and the objectives the student intern desires to achieve during the internship.
A minimum of four contact hours per week is recommended per credit hour of internship. Thus, for a three credit hour internship, the student intern should arrange approximately 12 clock hours per week to spend working on the internship. A student may take as many as 6 credit hours of internship, but no more than 3 credits during any given semester. Internships are letter graded. Download the Internship Handbook (PDF) for additional information and sign up forms.
2) Honors students can take the course as a HONORS Research Course CRN 75175. HONR F498 or through an honors contract.
3) The Individual Study option is available for graduate students and for any interested student who is NOT a Geography, NRM, or Honors student. Students interested in an individual study will need to fill out an Individual Study Approval Form with an attached syllabus to the Registrar's Office, along with an Add/Drop registration form. Non-honors students may also take HONR F498 with permission. Individual study approval forms are also available from the Office of Admissions and the Registrar. Have it signed by your instructor and department head from the department in which the course is being taught, and turn it in with your registration or add/drop form. Individual study course numbers end in -97. The course reference number for an individual study course will be assigned by the Office of the Registrar after you register for your other classes.
For information contact Office of Sustainability Manager, Christi Kemper, firstname.lastname@example.com.

UCS Network Configuration for UCCE
From DocWiki
Design Considerations for High Availability
The High Availability (HA) deployment provides redundancy from a component failure in the Unified Computing System (UCS) architecture.
For deploying Cisco Unified Contact Center Enterprise (UCCE) on UCS B-Series servers, it is mandatory that HA must be used. Please follow the best practices and guidelines described in the Cisco white paper Design Consideration for High Availability and Scalability in Blade Server Environment for guidelines on implementing HA. Pay particular attention to the following information in this white paper:
- The guidelines described in the section "Server I/O High Availability Architecture" with redundant infrastructure and paths.
- The diagrams of HA design shown in Figure 2, Figure 4, and Figure 6 in the above white paper. For an additional example of Cisco UCS 6100 Series Fabric Interconnects HA, refer to Figure 5 in this document.
This HA design requires redundant Cisco UCS 6100 Series Fabric Interconnects on a Cisco UCS and redundant Cisco UCS 2104XP Fabric Extenders.
For an introduction to UCS architecture, see the Cisco white paper http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/ps10265/ps10281/solution_overview_c22-522771.pdf.
Setting up the Cisco UCS Fabric and the Ethernet Network
Figure 1 below shows the cable connections between the following UCS Fabric components with redundant configuration for a UCCE on UCS B-series deployment:
- Two Cisco MDS multilayer fabric switches
- Two Cisco UCS 6100 Series Fabric Interconnects
- Two Cisco UCS 2104 Series Fabric Extenders
- Dual redundant Ethernet Uplinks that will be connected to redundant Network Routers.
Please note that the B200 M1 blade is configured with the Cisco UCS M71KR-Q QLogic network adapter that provides 10 Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel connectivity for the server. However, when deploying Clustering Over the WAN with B-Series hardware, the Cisco UCS M81KR Virtual Interface Card is used instead of the Cisco UCS M71KR-Q.
Figure 1 illustrates UCS B-Series network configuration for UCCE deployment.
UCS Fabric Ethernet switching mode must be set to End-Host Mode. Switching Mode is not supported.
Redundant chassis is not required, but recommended.
Figure 1
Figure 2 illustrates the UCCE Public and Private network connections set up in the UCS B-Series system.
Figure 2
Figure 3 illustrates UCCE Public and Private network connections set up in the UCS B-Series system with split fabric (i.e., a deployment containing redundant interfaces for each network alternating Fabric side (A/B)) and Clustering Over the WAN deployments.
Figure 3
Creating the UCS Profile
Understanding the service profile is key to understanding the blade management in the UCS. The service profile represents a logical view of a single blade server, without needing to know exactly which blade you are talking about. The profile object contains the server personality (identity and network information). The profile can then be associated with a single blade at a time. The following link provides a step by step guide on how to provision service profiles.
Every server that is provisioned in the Cisco UCS is specified by a service profile. A service profile is a software definition of a server and its LAN and SAN network connectivity. In other words, a service profile defines a single server and its storage and networking characteristics. The UCS Manager software is embedded in the Cisco UCS 6100 Series Fabric Interconnects, which is also where the service profiles are stored. When a service profile is deployed to a server, UCS Manager automatically configures the server, adapters, fabric extenders, and fabric interconnects to match the configuration specified in the service profile. Automating the device configuration reduces the number of manual steps required to configure servers, network interface cards (NICs), host bus adapters (HBAs), and LAN and SAN switches.
This page does not provide a step by step guide on how to use UCS manager. However, it provides the necessary information to configure a service profile for UCCE.
VLAN Configuration for UCCE Public and Private Traffic
The service profile must have the complete and correct VLANs configured for UCCE Public and Private traffic.
The following shows an example of the VLANs needed for a UCCE deployment.
- One VLAN is needed for the Public Ethernet traffic
- One VLAN is needed for the Private Ethernet traffic.
Public and Private Traffic Deployment
The following figure illustrates the VLANs needed on the SideA blade for most UCCE deployments. In these deployments, a similar VLAN configuration would be needed on the SideB blade.
Figure 4
Public and Private Traffic for Split Fabric and Clustering Over the WAN Deployment
For split fabric and Clustering Over the WAN deployments, the Public and Private networks must be configured to use their own redundant interfaces, with redundant interfaces for each network alternating Fabric side (A/B). It is also best practice to configure separate redundant interfaces for the management networks. These interfaces will be used in configuration of the vSwitches for networks in the HyperVisor.
Note MAC addresses in UCS Manager for all vNICs, as the vNIC numbers do not map to same number vmnic in the HyperVisor.
Note that in order to provision more than two interfaces per blade, the M81KR "Palo" Cisco Converged Network Adapter (CNA) must be used. The M71KR is only capable of provisioning two interfaces and is limited to the configuration shown in Figure 4.
The figure below illustrates redundant interfaces for Public, Private and management networks (where two pairs of Public interfaces are shown due to the example configuration having the management network on the same VLAN).
Figure 5
The service profile must have a vSAN configured for UCCE. The following shows an example of the vSAN needed for a UCCE deployment. The vSAN network ID must match the vSAN ID configured on the SAN devices for connectivity.
Figure 6
Configuring the VLAN on the Network Router
The following is an example of the port configuration for the network router. For redundancy there must be at least two TenGigabitEthernet ports configured per UCS 6100 Series Fabric Interconnect.
interface TenGigabitEthernet2/1 description Fabric-Connect-A switchport switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,10,11 switchport mode trunk no ip address mls qos trust cos spanning-tree portfast trunk
Where VLAN trunking is used to uplink to VMware, it is essential that the network configuration be implemented correctly. Testing has shown that improper configuration of VLAN trunking directly and negatively impacts performance of the system.
As with all previous UCCE deployments, there must be dedicated public and private links between routers following supported models as defined in the Cisco Unified Contact Center Enterprise Solution Reference Network Design (SRND).
Configuring the Virtual Switch and vmnic Adapters
For deploying Cisco UCCE on UCS B-Series servers, configure the vSwitches and vmnic adapters as follows:
vSwitch and vmnic Adapter Configuration
In most deployments, you create one ESXi virtual switch and connect both VM virtual Ethernet adapters to the virtual switch, as shown in the following figure. See Configuring the ESXi Host Network for the Virtual Machines for instructions.
NOTE: The Nexus 1000 virtual switch is not supported as a VMware switch.
Figure 7
vSwitch and vmnic Adapter Configuration for Split Fabric and Clustering Over the WAN Deployment
For split fabric and UCS Clustering Over the WAN deployments that use the M81KR Virtual Interface Card, create ESXi virtual switches and connect VM virtual Ethernet adapters as shown in the following figure.
Assign physical adapters (vmnics) to vSwitches by MAC address to ensure that the correct interfaces created by the UCS profile are being assigned. Make sure that the Public and Private networks use alternate Fabrics (A/B) on their Active vmnic.

Tess Corrinne Jordan is a busy artist. So busy, in fact, that she rarely has time to let anyone know about it. But somehow they find out anyway.
Since dubbing herself a professional painter in 2003, the Arkansas native can count on one hand the number of solo exhibitions shes held to display her work. Yet shes one of the most popular artists at Diane West Jewelry & Art on Main Avenue, both among customers and the gallerys owner.
Her work has very broad appeal, West said of Jordan. Tess is probably a little more whimsical and playful than most of my artists, and I like that component a lot.
West gave her blessing for Jordan to hang about 25 new works at the Lost Dog Bar & Lounge, where shell be the featured artist for the kind-of-monthly Art Spectacle at the Main Avenue eatery. The Lost Dog is quickly becoming a desired alternative venue where artists can introduce their works to a new and ever-changing audience.
I want all of my artists to succeed and I do whatever I can to help them promote themselves. This seems like an easy win-win, West said.
Jordan is a prolific painter whose day job might explain her light and almost minimalist style. As the owner of Jordan Design Consulting, she acts as a go-between for architects and contractors on new home construction and remodels. There is more pressure in that kind of job, so a portfolio of playful paintings sounds like a nice release.
I am thinking about every little detail when I do a home project an architect can say where the fireplace goes but not how it fits into the design of the room, Jordan said. I do a full color palette of the interior and exterior so everything works together.
Jordan is probably best known in Durango for her series of bicycle paintings, but she tends to work in phases, and the bikes are currently on the back burner. She recently returned from a road trip to the mid-Atlantic coast including North Carolina and Virginia, and her latest series depicts many of the older structures, such as barns, shacks and older, dilapidated homes of that region.
I explore something until I get inspired by something else, and I was almost overwhelmed sketching those old falling-down buildings, Jordan said. Painting for me is truly just seeing things again. Its my memory of how something looked and felt. You see what used to be and what it is now. I love that feeling.
The paint will barely be dry on the final additions to her Lost Dog show, but Jordan has already launched into her next project. Her upcoming series of figurative paintings of nudes is under way, and shes looking for models to help increase the collection. West is looking forward to hanging the new work on her gallery walls.
I think were excited about her testing the waters with this figurative work. I think it has a lot of potential. The styles similar, but its a big change in subject matter for her, West said.
For Jordan, it is a new source of inspiration and one that should produce another cache of unique and head-turning paintings.

I'm having some problems with point sprite textures on the Intel HD Graphics card that comes with the Dell 790. The textures produce random garbage each frame. If I remove the Fragment shader, the texture appears fine, but upside down and the gl_PointSize and fading (fog) doesn't work. While trying to work with the removed frag shader, I've tried changing the PointParameter to use GL_POINT_SPRITE_COORD_ORIGIN, GL_LOWER_LEFT but it has no effect on the upside down texture. I've tried multiple drivers, to include the latest. I can't figure out what Intel has implemented here... what works on every other system is not working - HELP. What am I doing wrong?

... so I use the "cool" headphone pass-through on my backpack for my NiteRider battery cord when I run it on my helmet.
I took the mountain bike to the bus today. I've been on a notable argumentative streak lately, stirring the pots of online philosophical deliberations that would normally fizzle into concession between my friends and I. The debate must go on! This gouged my slumber time, and I'm positively fatigued. I regret not having the moxie to make the full ride in this morning - the weather was splendid for mid-November.
I'm not sure what tickled my mountain bike nerve today, but I lived it up by eschewing traditional pathways at every possible venture. I rolled over raised medians, gallivanted on grassy hills, slid down small stairways and promenaded over parking lot islands with a smile on my face -- just because I can. If you haven't figured it out yet, that's usually what happens when I get on the Sorrento. I pine for the powdery snow, when I can genuinely flog this steed to its full potential. This is going to be an awesome winter for cycling. I can taste it.
I'm quaffing my third caffeinated beverage of the day, but I'm still a bit groggy. I need to hit the sack early tonight.

With Gas going to $5 a gallon on the West Coast and the rest of the country to soon follow, we're all going to have greater opportunities for winter cycling. I'm betting the next tank of gas I buy will be my personal "tipping point" In fact my last tank was over $40!

Nepotism is probably clouding my judgement but I fancy Serbia and Argentina but as everyone has already said it is going to be tough, any of these teams could realistically beat one and another.
Nepotism is probably clouding my judgement but I fancy Serbia and Argentina but as everyone has already said it is going to be tough, any of these teams could realistically beat one and another.
Argentina to choke once again, serves them right on leaving out Javier Zanetti and Walter Samuel, and I have reservations about Leo Messi considering how long he has been out injured for.
I think Cote d'Ivoire have a good squad and I would fancy them going through. Serbia to come 4th though, although hoping Stankovic and Kezman do well.
1. Argentina
2. Holland
3. Serbia & Montenegro
4. Cote d'Ivoire
I can definitely seeing Argentina bumming out, also S&M are massively underrated IMO - top defence, as seen in the qualifiers.
"If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face - for ever."
Argentina top..
Either one of Holland and Ivory Coast go through too..
Even more surreal when you think Scaloni has made the squad. Even the most commited Iron would concede he's a tad plop.Originally Posted by Craig

Person familiar with decision to AP: Pistons fire Maurice Cheeks with 21-29 mark in 1st season
A person familiar with the decision says the Detroit Pistons have fired coach Maurice Cheeks.
The person spoke Sunday to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the move had not been announced.
Cheeks lasted a little more than half a season in his first year in Detroit.
The Pistons are 21-29 and in ninth place in the Eastern Conference, entering Sunday.
Cheeks previously led Portland and Philadelphia, a team he helped win an NBA title with as a point guard.
The Pistons gave him his third shot to be an NBA head coach in June, but didn't let him finish one season with the disappointing team that made moves to make a push to earn a spot in the playoffs for the first time since 2009.

Car Deals
Luxury SUV Deals: March 2013
We've listed some of the best luxury SUV deals on some of our favorite models this month. That will help shoppers who have narrowed down their luxury SUV choices, and are now searching for the best price on a model they want.
Acura RDX
Four lease offers are available on the newly redesigned 2013 Acura RDX this month. Shoppers interested in leasing the crossover can get monthly payments as low as $399 per month for 36 months after $2,599 at lease signing. For those who would rather put nothing down, payments start as low as $470 for the same 36-month term. Adding the RDX's optional Technology Package boosts monthly payments to $449 and the down payment to $3,299. Or, for a zero-down lease, it increases payments to $540. But for many drivers, the extra cost is worth it. That's because the Technology Package adds features like a power liftgate, a navigation system and a hard drive for music.
Infiniti FX37
The 2013 Infiniti FX37 is available with two lease deals in March. For shoppers who don't need all-wheel drive, the FX37 can be had for $429 per month for 39 months. Unfortunately, that deal requires a big down payment of nearly $4,300. Shoppers who want the year-round security of all-wheel drive can also get a good deal on an FX37. If they put down the same $4,300, the feature adds just $10 to the SUV's lease price, bringing the total payment to $439 for 39 months. The powerful FX50 is also a deal this month, with payments starting from $679 after $4,499 down at lease signing.
Find an Infiniti FX37 for sale
Lincoln MKX
Lincoln is offering three deals on its midsize MKX crossover in March. One is a special lease rate. Through the end of March, lease shoppers can put nothing down and get a 39-month lease with payments starting at $479 per month. For drivers who would prefer to finance, Lincoln is offering interest rates as low as 0.9 percent for 36 months or 1.9 percent for 48 months. Unfortunately, the MKX doesn't offer any cash-back deals for drivers paying in full. But through the end of March, shoppers trading in a Ford or Lincoln can get up to $1,000 back on an MKX thanks to Lincoln's "owner loyalty" program.
Mercedes GLK350
Two great lease deals are available this month on the 2013 Mercedes GLK350. For shoppers who don't need all-wheel drive, Mercedes is offering the rear-drive GLK350 for $399 per month. While that offer requires a large $4,593 down payment, it also includes an attractive 30-month term, letting you swap cars sooner than the usual three-year lease allows. Shoppers who would rather get the comfort and safety of all-wheel drive can step up to the GLK350 4Matic. In March, that model is offered with payments from $419 after $4,713 down at lease signing.
Range Rover Evoque
Land Rover's newest model is the 2013 Range Rover Evoque. It offers two good deals in March for shoppers interested in leasing or financing their next luxury SUV. For buyers looking to finance an Evoque, Land Rover is offering 0.9 percent interest to qualified shoppers. While that figure is only available for 36-month terms, it's still a strong offer on a hot new SUV. Land Rover is also offering a low lease rate on the five-door Evoque, which has proven more popular with shoppers than its three-door stablemate. In March, shoppers can lease a five-door Evoque for 36 months with payments of just $399 per month after $3,725 at lease signing. Unfortunately, that offer requires shoppers to watch the odometer: it allows fewer than 850 miles per month.

Volvo XC60
The 2013 Volvo XC60 is available with a lease deal and a low-interest offer in March. Shoppers interested in leasing the SUV can take advantage of Volvo's "Sign and Drive" program. The program allows drivers to put nothing down and sign a 36-month lease on an XC60 for $449 per month. Plus, Volvo makes the first $449 payment, meaning shoppers don't have to pay a thing until the second month of their lease. For those looking to finance the XC60, Volvo also has an offer available in March. Qualified buyers can get interest rates as low as 0.9 percent for up to 36 months - a rate that's among the lowest available on any Volvo model.
What it means to you: We hope our list of luxury SUV deals helps you find a high-end SUV at a great price this month.

NEW YORK (AP) - Carmen Marc Valvo narrows his eyes at the flowing skirt Taylor Foster models on a carpeted "runway" - technically a hallway - in his Garment District studio.
NEW YORK (AP) � Carmen Marc Valvo narrows his eyes at the flowing skirt Taylor Foster models on a carpeted "runway" � technically a hallway � in his Garment District studio.
It's a common look for Valvo in these days before New York Fashion Week, one that asks without words, "Does this feel right?" This time, the answer is not yet � it will require some tinkering.
The runway shows at New York Fashion Week are 15 minutes each of glitz, glamour and hopefully some clothes to remember before the editors, stylists and retailers move on to the next.
But for the designer, each one is a labor of love that takes weeks of work.
"The emotional process of building a collection is a very volatile one," says Valvo, who has been working day-in, day-out with his team and muse-model Foster ahead of the preview of his spring collection on Friday at the Lincoln Center tents that serve as the hub of the event.
Valvo opened his studio � really, his world � to John Minchillo, a freelance photojournalist for The Associated Press, during the process.
From behind the lens, Minchillo captured the designer's office masquerading as an enormous walk-in closet, with samples hanging from racks that line the room's perimeter and a desk buried in sketches, fabrics and mementos. Binders loaded with years of designs cram into shelves while repurposed coffee supply boxes overflow with patterns. A multicolored forest of fabric rolls populates the space beside mannequins patiently awaiting pins and patterns.
Outside the 23rd floor windows, workers can be seen busily tending to their fabrics in design spaces of neighboring buildings along this stretch of Seventh Avenue called Fashion Avenue.
There are no raised voices here. No thrown coffee cups, tantrums, or arguments. Stereotypical depictions of a fashion world run by divas do not apply. Even for seasoned professionals, there's so much to be done before the lights bathe the runway.
No matter that Valvo's been at this for more than 20 years and had dressed celebrities from Katie Couric to Catherine Zeta-Jones. Showtime is like nothing else.
"The range of emotions can go from elation to depression," he says. "The most rewarding part of building the collection is when you make your final edit and the run of show is set in stone and no more changes can be made."

Ingushetia is a republic in Russia's North Caucasus bordering North Ossetia to the west, Chechnya to the east, and Georgia to the south.
Other destinations
The Ingush are the closest relatives of the Chechens and have shared their Sufi Islamic beliefs as well as their fate in rebellion and conquest vis-à-vis the Russians. Like the Chechens, the Ingush were accused by Stalin of Nazi collaboration and were deported to Kazakhstan. When Khrushchev allowed them to return home, they found that their Orthodox Christian neighbors, the Ossetes, had settled on formerly Ingush lands, launching a violent ethnic conflict which rages on today.
Although the majority of Ingushetia's population lives in the larger northern towns, the Ingush consider their true heritage to be tied to the ancient auls (stone mountaintop villages) in the south of Ingushetia, especially along the Assy Gorge.
Get in
By plane
Planes to Ingushetia leaves from Moscow.
By train
A train leaves from/to Moscow .
By bus
A daily bus leaves from/to Grozny,Nalchik and Stavropol.
A regular buses leaves from/to [[Moscow
]]. A micro-buses leaves from/to Nalchik and other north-caucasians,south-russians cities(i.e.,to Vladikavkaz).
Get around
Russian is understood by all; bilinguilism in Ingush (a language related to Chechen) or other regional languages is common.
"Assa" Hotel-located in Nazran
Stay safe
Travel is not recommended for Ingushetia until the security situation improves drastically. At present, Ingushetia should be considered a war zone.
Stay healthy
In Ingushetia there are three federal GSM operators (MTS, Beeline, Megafon) and they often have offers that give you a SIM card for free or at least very cheap. If you are planning to stay a while and to keep in touch with Ingushetian and other North-Caucasus people, then you should consider buying a local SIM card instead of going on roaming. If you buy a SIM card from a shop you'll need your passport for identification. It only takes five minutes to do the paperwork and it will cost less than $10.

First Published Mar 19 2012 02:21 pm • Last Updated Mar 22 2012 11:08 am
With an indoor creek and high-end retailers such as the jeweler Tiffany, City Creek Center aims to dazzle. An adjoining gym does, too.
Nestled on the southeast end of the sprawling shopping mall, The Gym at City Creek features an indoor pool, a movie viewing room, nine very large TV large screens among dozens of others, laundry services, a deli, basketball and racquetball courts, and a relaxation room with leather couches.
The 55,000-square-foot facility, which offered tours Thursday, March 22, with the opening of City Creek Center, is designed to cater to the thousands who live and work in and around the City Creek development. The gym is expected to open its doors for customers on Monday.
The project, created and built by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, includes several office buildings with an estimated 5,000 workers. Approximately 2,000 people will work in City Creek Center or for surrounding merchants and restaurants. Hundreds more live in some of the 425 condominiums and 110 apartment units that are part of City Creek.
The gym, which is leasing space from the LDS Church, is aiming for a specific niche, said general manager Rick Strout.
The idea for a downtown health club was part of City Creek from the start, Strout said. "[The church] needed a place for people who live and work downtown to exercise and play."
Although some clubs in the suburbs cater to families and offer child-care services, The Gym at City Creek is catering to a large degree to professionals who want to work out before or after work or on their lunch hours. The club is not offering child care, and membership is limited to people who are at least 18, he said.
The club has a variety of features and programs that address in some way most of the reasons people don't work out, Strout said. In terms of entertainment, a number of the pieces of fitness equipment have built-in TVs; there are also big-screens and a screening room where patrons can watch a full-length movie while working out. The facility also offers a variety of pre-set workouts as short as nine minutes. And for an added fee, the club offers laundry services so that your workout clothes will be cleaned and ready for your next visit.
Although the formal address of the club is 51 S. Main St., its entrance is off 100 South — about midblock between Main and State streets.
The Gym at City Creek is owned by Brent Cook, who also owns The Gateway shopping center's Metro Executive Fitness/Sanctuary Day Spa, and his daughter, Cathy Brunken, and her husband, Stephen.
Cook has been involved in several other health clubs, including the two that were in ZCMI Center and Crossroads Plaza malls before they were razed to make way for City Creek Center.
"We wanted to create an upscale atmosphere, just like City Creek," Cook said.
Because The Gym at City Creek is closed on Sundays — none of the shops in City Creek Center and only two restaurants are open that day of the week —members will be able to go to The Gateway to work out.
Monthly fees at The Gym at City Creek range from $49 to $99 per person. The club also offers an executive membership.
The club will start with 40 classes per week, including pilates, yoga, indoor cycling and zumba. Depending on demand, it may add to those offerings over time, Strout said. The club also offers physical therapy services.
Club managers say they believe that features such as a lap pool that is shared with the condominium developments in City Creek and the sports courts probably will be the most popular draws.
Tara Isaacson, who lives and works in the downtown area and signed up as a member, said even though she doesn't do a lot of swimming, she's attracted to the pool area, with its glass walls and balcony.
"The pool is gorgeous. And the balcony is cool."

Bisons Testimonials
Since Coca-Cola Field opened in 1988, more than 22 million fans have walked through the gates for a Bisons game!
See what some of them had to say about their experience here at the ballpark!
What Fans Are Saying
"Going to a Bisons game has become part of our lives and we adore it."
-Erin C., Williamsville, NY
"Great prices, friendly people everywhere we went, and a lovely ballpark. Ever since I got back, I have been telling everyone, especially Jays fans, that they need to make an excursion to Buffalo for a Bisons game."
-Paul K., Cambridge, Ont.
"The stadium was a pleasant surprise having never attended a farm team game before. It was assessable, clean and well cared for. Once we entered the stadium there was an air of excitement with the number of promotions and groups represented on the floor"
-Brian W., Ridgeway, Ont.
"I had wanted to visit Coca-Cola Field for some time and glad that I did. Lovely stadium, so easy to get to from Toronto. Great baseball experience. My friends and I had a wonderful time."
-Josee T., Toronto, Ont.
"We found the stadium to be in great shape, the staff was very friendly, the food was good and the beer was plentiful. We enjoyed our second row seats at a great price. We'll for sure make the trip again next summer."
-Tom W., Toronto, Ont.
"The food was good and good selection of both "baseball" food and other non-traditional baseball food. The seats we had were very close and a very good value. The stadium was clean, people were helpful and friendly. Keep up the good work… we will definitely be back!"
-Mike P., Beamsville, Ont.
The Reviews Are In...
"It is a relatively hidden gem in the Blue Jays organization, and a baseball experience Toronto Blue Jays fans should definitely take advantage of. The Blue Jays have their Triple A team just a short drive away, and as the players make their way up and down the highway, fans can too." FULL ARTICLE
- Jays from the Couch
"Coca-Cola Field - a beautiful minor-league park with a big-league feel and amenities"
- Yahoo Sports
"The new Triple-A minor league Blue Jays affiliate plays in their smart downtown digs, Coca-Cola Field, an economical and aesthetic treat." "In Buffalo, it's a short walk to your seat, and the stadium offers great sight lines, fans situated so close to the action that one can almost smell the grass."
-Sun Media
"…it is an idyllic setting, designed for baseball to be enjoyed - outdoors with real grass and fine sight lines for all ticket holders. And just 160 kilometres south of Toronto.
-Toronto Globe and Mail
"Some are Buffalo area residents seeking inexpensive family entertainment, while others are die-hard Bisons fans there to see their team win. The remainder? They're like…father-and-son Blue Jays fans who traveled from Ont. to a pair of seats five rows behind the third-base dugout to watch future Jays play for the club's top farm team… and all three types of fans had a reason to smile."
-Toronto Star

Talk loud and say something (on-line title) Dopey Discourse Is All Too Prevalent (print title)
Austin American-Statesman Posted: 12:49 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 22, 2013
By Tom Palaima – Regular Contributor
Recently I heard Karen Artzt, Ashbel Smith Professor Emeritus of Molecular Genetics and Microbiology at the University of Texas at Austin, give a talk about some of her life's work. She explained the process of searching for coding sequences in mammalian genomes and how the results help prevent physical defects from developing in young children.
Artzt was asked what new discoveries lie ahead. She took time to think and then said, "Progress in this field of research is saltatory." She traced in the air with her index finger a research timeline marked by sudden steps upward.
In that moment, Artzt's thoughtful command of language matched her mastery of science. Even those of us who abide by George Orwell's rule to use plain English words whenever possible knew that the Latin-derived word saltatory — proceeding by leaps rather than gradually — was perfect.
Later, I wondered why Artzt's reply struck us as so special. I think I now know why, and it is no trivial matter.
We are used to listening to what George Saunders calls "braindead megaphones," presenters of information who, as the late godfather of soul and plain-speaker of many social and political truths, James Brown put it, practice the art of "Talkin' Loud and Sayin' Nothing."
Artzt gave a direct answer. She did not pretend to know what she could not know. She did not preen as an expert in the spotlight. She told us the truth.
The truth is what James Brown learned growing up in the soul-destroying Jim Crow poverty of Barnwell, S.C. and Augusta, Ga. In his autobiography, Brown said that "Talkin' Loud and Sayin' Nothing" was "aimed at the politicians who were running their mouths but had no knowledge of what life was like for a lot of people."
Instead of straight talk and meaningful discussion, we get in the media and from our political, cultural and institutional leaders what Saunders calls "dopey communication." Leaders have agenda to push and push fast. They short-circuit discussion and truly democratic deliberation. They speak to wide audiences who have little time to think over what is said and no opportunity to pose questions or counter arguments. Their language is vague, unclear, filled with jargon phrases and assertions unsupported by facts.
For example, UT Austin and the UT System have been mobilizing quickly to be major players in producing massive open online courses (MOOCs) that can be taken electronically by tens of thousands of students worldwide. UT President Bill Powers made a public statement in February, "Our faculty is enthusiastic about this frontier."
This sounds good. But it is an assertion without proof. It requires that Powers knew that a solid majority of faculty members last February were very keen on the massive online course offerings. But he could not know that without a well-constructed anonymous survey taken after meaningful discussions with the general faculty in the many schools and programs across campus about the many pros and equally many cons of using MOOCs in higher education. It is savvier to claim faculty enthusiasm about a frontier. People used to braindead megaphones will believe it.
One reason to push ahead is that enthusiasts think there is lots of money to be made by developing and offering the MOOCs. Raising revenues is good, but only if we do not cause serious collateral harm to education.
No matter. The Institute for Transformational Learning was authorized by the UT System in August 2011 and established in 2012 "to leapfrog our current efforts" at blended and online learning. In other words, we are leaping right over wise broad-based deliberation.
The institute's executive director Steven Mintz told the faculty council in March that the use of MOOCs "is the golden goose, and I want to support that goose." But no one knows whether online courses will be the money-generator that Mintz imagines or the very fairy tale to which Mintz refers.
"The Golden Goose" is tale 64 in the Brothers Grimm collection. In it, all who greedily and without forethought try to pluck golden feathers from the golden goose become stuck to it and to each other. In the end they are thoroughly discomfited.
On MOOCs and other matters our university leaders should think carefully and make haste slowly. They should invite thought from the united faculty of experienced scholar-educators whose work is largely responsible for our ranking 25th among world universities in the latest "Times Higher Education" survey. They surely should know how to tell a golden goose from a goose that will lay a golden egg or no egg at all.
Palaima is a classics professor at the Univeristy of Texas at Austin.

Embarrassing defeats, criticism from fans and former players, a major health scare for its long-serving chairman -- Arsenal's season is not getting any easier.
The English Premier League club's stalwart figurehead Peter Hill-Wood is recovering in hospital after suffering a heart attack the day before Arsenal's 2-0 defeat at home to Swansea.
It left the 13-time English champions 10th in the 20-team EPL after 15 games, continuing Arsenal's worst start to a season since 1994.
Hill-Wood had been suffering pneumonia and was taken ill at home on Friday, the London side's website reported on Sunday.
"He is making a good recovery. The club wishes Peter a full and speedy return to health and our thoughts are with him and his family at this time," read a statement on Arsenal.com.
The 76-year-old has been Arsenal's chairman since 1982, following in the footsteps of his father Denis and his grandfather Samuel, who twice held the role in spells between 1929 and 1949.
"Even if u are not a fan of #Peter Hill-Wood ... wishing him full recovery. He & his family gave so much to #Arsenal in the past!" one Arsenal supporter wrote on Twitter.
Manager Arsene Wenger and the club's board are coming under increasing criticism from fans, who are unhappy that top players such as Robin van Persie and Cesc Fabregas have been allowed to leave in recent years.
Emmanuel Eboue, who was sold to Turkish side Galatasaray last season, also made his feelings known on Twitter after the Swansea defeat
"Why have we destroyed the club we love so much. The set of players we have now are like chicken fillet. #Arsenal board have abused the fans," the Ivory Coast international said.
"Some of the players need to be stoned off the pitch. No brain, no passion, no soul. The Arsenal glory days are fading fast. We need help.
"The only way to put pressure on the board is by fans not coming to the stadium. Low revenue would worry the board and put pressure on boss."
One of the club's celebrity fans, CNN's Piers Morgan, also had harsh words for Wenger -- the club's longest serving manager, with 11 trophies since he joined in 1996 but none since 2005.
"That was the single worst performance of Wenger's reign. It's over -- he must go before he wrecks his great legacy," Morgan wrote on Twitter, where he has set up the hashtag #WengerOut.
"Wenger must go, for his sake and for the club's."
Wenger's team have already qualified for the last 16 of the European Champions League, but the Frenchman is looking for a morale-boosting result in Tuesday's final Group B game away to Greek side Olympiakos.
"It's important for us. Away from home, I'm not too concerned," the 63-year-old said.
"We look like we play a little bit with the handbrake at home. It's not fluent. There might be a psychological component in there as well.
"At home we have not produced the performances since the beginning of the season that you would expect from us, and that is where we have to find the solution."
Arsenal announced last month that major sponsor Emirates had agreed a new $240 million deal until 2019 for shirt rights and 2028 for stadium naming, but that money will not be available for Wenger to bolster his squad until midway through next year.
When asked if he had plans to make major signings in the January transfer window, Wenger kept his cards close to his chest.
"I believe the support from the board is there to spend the money if we find the players," he said.
Another manager under pressure is Martin O'Neill, whose Sunderland team remained just a point above the relegation zone after losing 2-1 to Norwich in Sunday's only Premier League fixture.
The former Aston Villa, Celtic and Leicester boss, who was a European Cup winner with Nottingham Forest as a player, was frustrated after the result left his side with just two wins from 14 games.
"We started off very tentatively -- the first goal we conceded was poor and the second was even worse," the Northern Irishman said.
"We should have taken something from the game. It's very frustrating to come away with nothing."

SAN FRANCISCO -- An investigational vaccine targeting the virus that spoils cruise ship vacations and sends college kids to the hospital was safe and prompted large and rapid immune responses in a phase I clinical study, a researcher reported here.
Within a week of receiving the first of two doses of the product, participants showed 10- to 100-fold mean increases in antibodies against two norovirus subtypes, said John Treanor, MD, of the University of Rochester in Rochester, N.Y. The increases lasted for the full 56 days of subsequent blood sample collection,
No severe or serious adverse events considered to be related to the vaccine were seen, he told attendees here at the Interscience Conference on Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy. The most common adverse effects were mild to moderate injection-site pain and mild headache, Treanor said.
He said the antibody responses were very good -- enough so that it might be possible that a single dose would be sufficient, although he emphasized that it was also possible that the second dose would make the response more durable.
The company developing the vaccine, Ligocyte Pharmaceuticals of Bozeman, Mont., is now conducting additional trials with the product. A Ligocyte official said that the first viral challenge tests in vaccinated individuals had just been conducted this week.
Noroviruses are a group of foodborne pathogens that cause acute vomiting and diarrhea as well as some flu-like symptoms such as fever and myalgia. Sometimes called the "cruise ship virus" because of several heavily publicized outbreaks among passengers on these vessels, it is also a growing problem for schoolchildren, college dorm residents, prisoners, military personnel, and others in institutional settings.
In a separate presentation at ICAAC, Hoonmo Koo, MD, of Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, noted that norovirus also appears to be responsible for many cases of so-called traveler's diarrhea, as well as episodes of vomiting and diarrhea in toddlers.
With the increasing use of effective vaccines against rotavirus, Koo said, it was likely that norovirus will "soon eclipse rotavirus" as the leading cause of viral gastrointestinal illness in young children.
Late last year, clinical trial results with a first-generation norovirus vaccine were published in the New England Journal of Medicine showing that the intranasally delivered product offered significant protection against challenge with Norwalk virus, the first member of the norovirus family to be identified.
However, Treanor explained, that product -- based on virus-like particles derived from Norwalk virus -- would not be expected to be effective against other subtypes.
Five main serotype groups of norovirus are known, with Norwalk virus belonging to Group I. There are a greater number of Group II viruses known, with one serotype called GII.4 now the most common among clinical isolates.
The vaccine tested in the current study includes virus-like particles carrying antigens from GII.4 and Norwalk virus, and was designed to be given intramuscularly.
Treanor and colleagues conducted the trial in two stages -- an initial dose-ranging phase in a total of 43 healthy volunteers, which established that antibody responses were maximized with doses of 50 mcg, and a second, placebo-controlled trial in three cohorts of different age groups, each receiving two 50-mcg doses four weeks apart.
The age groups were 18 to 49, 50 to 64, and 65 to 85.
In his ICAAC presentation, Treanor reported results for the 69 participants in both stages who received either placebo or the 50-mcg dose. These included 35 receiving the active vaccine and 34 given placebo.
Antibody titers against both serotypes increased to means of about 100,000, from baseline levels ranging from 1,000 to 10,000 in the different cohorts. There was no apparent difference in antibody response by participant age.
These increases were seen both for IgG and IgA antibody types, Treanor reported, and they were maximal in blood samples collected one week after vaccination. Some decline over time was seen in IgA titers during the 56-day follow-up, but not in IgG levels.
With antibody titers already at their highest after the first dose, no additional benefit was apparent from the second dose, although Treanor cautioned that this finding didn't mean a single dose would be adequate for clinical protection.
There was little to no difference in local or systemic adverse effects seen after the second versus the first dose. Local effects, mainly pain and tenderness at the injection site, were seen in more than half of patients over the first few days after vaccination, but these tapered to near zero within a week.
Systemic effects were less frequent, affecting 10% to 15% of participants, and also largely disappeared within one week.
Both Treanor and Koo noted that major hurdles remain to be cleared before the vaccine could be considered ready for clinical use. Most importantly, they said, the degree to which the virus evolves with time to evade a vaccine remains unknown.
What Koo called "antigenic drift" could mean that noroviruses "may require active surveillance similar to what we have now for influenza viruses," he said. The result could be that the vaccine will need regular updates in composition so that it remains active against circulating strains, he said.
A possibly related issue, according to Koo, is that the immunity following naturally acquired norovirus infections wanes fairly quickly, in less than 2 years. Even if that is not the result of antigenic drift, it could mean that vaccination would have to be repeated in order to maintain protection.
Another roadblock, Treanor said, is that norovirus is difficult to work with in the laboratory. It doesn't grow in culture and it doesn't infect animals, therefore depriving researchers of their most important tools for developing and testing new vaccines.
That complicates efforts to develop new types of vaccines, such as a polyvalent product to protect against additional norovirus serotype groups.
The study was funded by Ligocyte.
Treanor reported relationships with Ligocyte and several other vaccine producers including GlaxoSmithKline, Sanofi, Novartis, Pfizer, Immune Targeting Systems, and Protein Sciences. Several co-investigators were Ligocyte employees or research contractors.
Koo declared he had no relevant financial interests.

I don't know how many of you here in the states listen to The Splendid Table with Lynne Rossetto Kasper, but I'll be featured in today's episode on many NPR stations. Check your local listings! You can also hear the interview and see why I'm the inaugural Gastrosexual of the Month for May at http://splendidtable.publicradio.org/specials/gastrosexuals/winners.shtm... --sadly the producers edited out the part where I spoke about Just Bento and Maki, but I think it was the photo I sent in of my Girl's Day bento that clinched the win. Woo ;-)
I listened to your clip - congratulations on being the inaugural Gastrosexual (hehe). You sounded great! Interesting that you are thinking of making sushi from trout - I guess you are thinking of masuzushi? Do make sure your trout is very fresh, and from clean waters (freshwater fish is more prone to parasites than seawater fish, which is why it's not used much for sushi). You'll need to salt the fish and marinate it in a vinegar-mix...sushi vinegar should work fine though maybe with a bit more sugar. Let us know how it turns out!
The Big Onigiri.
- Wherever you go, there you are. -
Thanks Maki :-)
It was very goofy and very fun, the whole process.. and it *was* quite an involved process considering that I wrote my little entry essay on a lark! Actually speaking with Lynne Rossetto Kasper was kind of wonderful --she's a warm smart person, and I've gotten scads of nice emails from all over as a result of the broadcast.
That's a good point with regard to water quality. Some of the trout I catch are stocked by Vermont Fish & Wildlife, and the quality of these fish is very good, even though there's a deep-seated and romantic notion that native (i.e., non-stocked) trout are better. The truth is, in our modern age, there are relatively few native trout left here in Vermont, and also, the Fish & Wildlife people have gotten very good at raising trout for stocking ponds, lakes, and rivers. When I was a kid, the fish hatcheries used to feed fish with Purina dogfood! That made them taste, hm, kind of liver-y, and not in a nice way. Now they've developed foods which are much closer to the natural diet of the fishies, and consequently they taste much better.
Thank you for the masuzushi information! I will definitely post the results of any trout sushi experimenting :-)

How can the best comic you've ever read not be a favourite?
by Amoebas » Fri Feb 04, 2011 8:59 am
I remember reading it the day it came out. I had just finished an issue of JB's FF thinking, it doesn't get better than this" and then grunting when I saw Swamp Thing was the next book in the stack. And then it began...
"It is raining in Washington."
And then it ended...
"It is raining in Washington..."
And there I sat, wondering, what the hell just happened!? I reread it a couple of times and although I knew there was something different about this book I didn't know quite what it was that I was experiencing.
Years and decades later, it's easy to see the book for what it is - how it re-invented comic story-telling, but at the time, it was all shell-shock at seeing something completely 'new'.
Great pick!

Pretty easy. Best is objective to at least some degree, while favorite is usually almost entirely subjective. Marvel Team-Up 127 has been my favorite comic for going on 30 years now, but I would never dream of saying it's the "best" comic I've ever read. I love it warts and all.
by Punchy » Fri Feb 04, 2011 9:09 am
Best is just as subjective as favourite I think, there is no objective best comic ever.
by BlueStreak » Fri Feb 04, 2011 9:22 amI'm sorely disappointed by the lack of Amlah and Squid this week.
by chap22 » Fri Feb 04, 2011 9:26 am
But even so they don't have to be the same thing; under your description it's still just a subjective opinion.
by Punchy » Fri Feb 04, 2011 9:26 am
They're too pretentious to have favourite comics.
by Punchy » Fri Feb 04, 2011 9:27 am
But if you read a comic and think it's the best ever, how is it then not subsequently a favourite? Unless you are deliberately trying to have bad taste.
by BlueStreak » Fri Feb 04, 2011 9:34 am
Well, I hoped that this would be a decent enough anniversary week idea.
Originally, I was going to bring back the "Creators Pick" week, but the interest just wasn't there on the creator side. It left me kind of scrambling, but I figured this would be a good enough way to get people interested, but no one has even piled on Mammon's pick yet besides you and me. I was expecting evisceration by now.
by chap22 » Fri Feb 04, 2011 9:40 am
We've had this discussion before vis-a-vis Watchmen. It depends on your definition of "best", whether you're looking at it from a technical standpoint, an emotional resonance standpoint, or what have you. For example, while I think Watchmen is technically one of the best comics ever written, I don't particularly like it, much less consider it a personal favorite. It doesn't speak to me, it doesn't make me like any of the characters, etc. So while I respect it for it's craft, it's place in history, and the obvious impact in had on comic storytelling going forward, it's not a favorite book.
by Punchy » Fri Feb 04, 2011 9:44 am
It is a good idea!

by SilverPhoenix » Fri Feb 04, 2011 1:18 pmIf the review group will allow me to do, I'm not going to review a comic that's necessarily my favorite, but one that I was going to review for the site, but fell to the wayside. Jonah Hex #61
Jonah Hex #61
What does Jonah Hex + Beautiful Feisty Woman X The Power Girl writers give you? A Comic that might've proved to be last year's big surprise!
No matter what we do, there are just some stories and characters that are not for us as individuals. No matter how good they are, or how much we try to enjoy them, our preconceived preferences and biases do not allow us to appreciate what others will enjoy with various levels of enthusiasm. In some ways, it's a tragic universal flaw inherit in all of us, in others it's just a part of life. Not everyone will enjoy everything the same way, and to expect otherwise would not just rob one of the potential foundations of creativity, but one of the things that makes us beautifully flawed creatures. As for the reviewer in question, there are a few things that fall into this category, including the star of the book I am about to review in Jonah Hex.
When it comes to the titular character in question I have never hated, disliked, or had outright disinterest for the character. For me, Jonah Hex's stories and character have never appealed to me in any fashion, whether they are objectively good or bad. Whenever I've read his stories, it seems like they all follow the same formula of Bounty Hunter chasing bad guys, bad guys screw up and meet their end by any matter of means, scenario is resolved, The End. This in itself doesn't mean that there haven't been good Jonah Hex stories, just that I haven't found one I've cared about. As far as his character goes, I have never found him to be completely devoid of traits, but I have never found his character truly compelling in any of the stories I've read, and that's probably because the stories I've seen him weren't made to be character driven. It also probably didn't help that the character wore a Confederate Uniform, which helped immensely to close my mind to his potential appeal. Something I'm not bragging about, but something that I feel I need to be honest about.
If you're still reading this review, I bet you're asking me the question I would be asking if I wasn't in my shoes: "If Jonah Hex doesn't appeal to you why are you even reviewing this book?" To which I answer, would you believe that I was drawn to it by the pretty Chinese lady on the cover? Yes, I am not ashamed to admit that I have weakness for beautiful women, and it helps that this one lays a Poster Worthy kick on a wannabe Cowboy Gangster. Proving once and for all, that an excellent cover can draw people to a comic they weren't going to read. What happened when I opened the book and read it for myself? Lets just say that the result was not the expected one, I fact it was quite the opposite.
The story itself begins at a time in Jonah's life that is not specified chronologically (future research puts this time during the year 1875), but at a point in his life where he's married, something that's spoiled right on the cover. From the minute that we see Jonah Hex and Mei Ling on the second page, two things are very obvious. The first thing is the racial makeup of the marriage and the second is the story potential that this pairing has. At its core, we have here is a story that could easily fall into the trap of becoming a ham-fisted commentary about race and sexism in the 1800's, despite the intentions and effort not to do so. This isn't to say that those issues aren't confronted (because they are), but it is done in such a way that the issues being presented are enhanced due to the unwavering dignity of the character those prejudices are being thrown towards. A perfect example of how characterization can make a pedestrian (or outright silly in some other cases) storyline come to life, and become quite the compelling tale. Make no mistake, Justin Gray and Jimmy Palmiotti understand on a masters level how characterization can carry a Comic Book, something that made their year of Power Girl stand out amongst the myriad of comics released on a weekly basis. That same magic is bought to Jonah Hex, as Mei Ling shows us another side to this Bounty Hunter, a side where his own preconceived notions about himself are challenged, and bought to a point where he has to work to change those notions to keep the best thing that has happened in his life. By the end of the story we learn that he truly does want to make the effort to keep Mei Ling as shown by how uses his skills to solve the conflict. A shining example of how good writers can make a story that doesn't have much there become something special.
As far as the art goes, I am of two minds. In places, the art shines really well despite the lack of wow factor that we're used to seeing with a Gray/Palmiotti with the supremely talented Amanda Conner who is able to make Art that not only looks good with a poster, but helps to tell the story that is written. It is unfortunate that Jordi Bernet is not able to compare to Conner, and because of that, some people might not be able to appreciate the artwork presented here. However, when one sits down the work in question, they'll begin to see the positives that this work holds. Each character has a distinct personality, and the art helps us to define those characteristics. Mei Ling looks especially beautiful in the action sequences, or when she's communicating to Jonah about how the world influences him in a bad way. While some may find it unfortunate that a more visually engaging artist was on this book, there are still plenty of things to like about Bernet's job on this book.
When everything is said and done, Johan Hex #61 is destined to become an unsung classic that's going to be lost to almost everyone but hardcore fans of the character, the medium itself. It's unfortunate that such an issue that embodies what this reviewer feels makes for excellent comics doesn't reach a greater audience. It has a great story, great characterization, excellent dialogue, central conflict and resolution where the main character becomes a wiser better person than when he or she went into it. These are the type of comics that kept me a fan of the medium while I was in college, and these are types of comics that keep me going to the LCS, every week. Jonah Hex #61 provides an excellent lesson to this reviewer in not dismissing comics' sight unseen. There's no telling what you can experience when you keep an open mind.
The Verdict
Story: 10
Art: 7
Accessibility: 9.5
Final Judgment: 9

It's very poetic. I was knocked on my ass too because of it. At that time, I didn't think anything old was worth my time so it was a shock to my thinking.
I have a few other favorites in front so I need to decide between my oldest, my second favorite, the one with the most creators, or "That one."

I've been very busy with my knitting and my coughing. And my very important thoughts. I have knit 30 ft to go over a long waving bike rack across the street from The Cheese board.That's 3 weeks of knitting and spinning for one bike rack and I have seriously doubted my sanity. Even more than usual. But I have a real eye hunger for that curving metal to be covered with color. And all that knitting helps me think.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Get ready iPhone fans, Apple ( AAPL) may be releasing the next version of its iPhone sooner than you think. Apple-focused Web site iMore says that the iPhone 5S will be released in August, a change from recent iPhone releases. Apple has previously released the iPhone 4, 4S and iPhone 5 in June, October, and September, respectively. Apple could not be immediately reached for comment for this story.
Apple's earnings estimates were recently cut by Credit Suisse, citing a slowdown in iPhone units, due in large part to a mid-2013 iPhone refresh. Citing sources familiar with the plans, iMore reports that the iPhone 5S will look the same as the iPhone 5, but it will have an advanced processor and better camera. The iPhone 5 currently offers the 8MP iSight camera, with improved HDR capabilities for better color and tone and reduced motion blur. In addition to an August iPhone 5S release, iMore says that Apple may release the next generation iPad and iPad mini in the April timeframe, but nothing is certain as of yet. Rumors of the next-generation iPad mini swirled almost immediately after the 7.9-inch tablet was announced in October. There's speculation that the next-gen iPad mini could have Retina Display, which the initial version lacks. Apple's product roadmap for 2013 may be becoming a little clearer, especially in light of the recent iWatch rumors. Citing people familiar with Apple's plans, Bloomberg reported that the Apple-branded watch could arrive in 2013. Apple has reportedly filed at least 79 patent applications which have the word "wrist" in them. The increased visibility into Apple's 2013 lineup also comes at a time that the tech giant's hurting for good press. Apple shares have fallen sharply in recent months, and there's the perception that Apple can no longer innovate the way it once did, with the iPod, iPhone, and iPad. Apple generates the majority of its revenue from the iPhone, though the other businesses still account for huge chunks of revenue for the tech giant. Apple shares were higher in early Tuesday trading, up 1.31% to $425.57. -- Written by Chris Ciaccia in New York >Contact by Email. Follow @Commodity_Bull

03.19.13: The CCRI Lady Knights basketball team played the first game of the Division II Women's Basketball National Tournament held at Illinois Central College in East Peoria, IL on Tuesday at 10:00am EST. CCRI (24-5) came into the game as the No. 10 seed and the Express of Owens Community College (25-7) were the No. 7 seed. The Lady Knights defeated the Express 76-68 in overtime. With the victory the Lady Knights improve to 25-5 on the season and will advance to the Quarterfinals to play No. 2 seed Louisburg College (29-3) who defeated No. 15 seed Erie Community College (21-6) 66-49 in the second game of the tournament . The two winners will meet Wednesday night at 9:00pm EST (8:00pm CST).
The Lady Knights fell behind early in the game 5-0 and had to play catch-up for pretty much all of regulation. The Lady Knights trailed by as many as 13 points in the first half with the score 26-13 and went into halftime trailing 32-27. Leading the Lady Knights in the first half was Lexi Barros (New Bedford, MA) who scored nine points in the first half, followed by Jenna Ayala (Paterson, NJ) with six points, and Co-Captain Jahira Smith (Brooklyn, NY) added five first half points. Leading the way for the Express was Mackenzie Heacock with 11 first half points.
In the second half the Lady Knights once again found themselves trailing by 11 points. However, the Lady Knights have been in many battles and were not intimidated by the national stage or the scoreboard. CCRI kept chipping away at the Express lead cutting it to six points after back-to-back 3-pointers from Barros and Ahnyyah Jackson (Hackensack, NJ) making the score 51-45 Owens. The Lady Knights cut the lead to three points 57-54 after a basket by Jenna Ayala making the score 57-54 Owens. But Owens was not going to hand the game to CCRI, they were going to have to earn it as they increased the leads back to seven points, 64-57 Owens, with less than three minutes remaining. The Lady Knights scored the next seven points beginning with a 3-pointer from Lexi Barros and ended the run with by tying the game 64-64 in a driving "tear drop" floater from Barros who began to take over the game. Owens called a timeout with 8.9 second left to draw-up a final play but the Lady Knights were up to the task and got the last second stop to send the game to overtime tied at 64.
Owens scored the first basket in OT to go up 66-64. Ahnyyah Jackson answered with a 3-pointer to give the Lady Knights their first lead of the game. Owens answered with a basket to retake the lead 68-67. But the Lady Knights would not be denied today as they closed the game with a spectacular 9-0 run with baskets and free throws from Barros and Nyjah Porcher (New Britain, CT). Final score 76-68 CCRI!
Leading the way for the Lady Knights was Lexi Barros with a game-high and career high 28 points, including 4-6 from beyond the 3-point arc, with six rebounds, three steals, two assist and a blocked shot. Also having a big game for the Lady Knights was Nyjah Porcher with 15 points, six rebounds, four assists and two steals while Jenna Ayala charted a double-double with 11 points and 11 rebounds. Rounding-out the CCRI attack was Ahnyyah Jackson with 10 points, seven rebounds, two assists and a steal and Jahira Smith added seven points, four rebounds, three assists and two blocked shots while facing heavy defensive pressure for the entire game.
Head Coach Kate Lynch commented after the great comeback: "We came out really flat. I think a lot of it had to do with nerves. We made some mental errors and Owens capitalized early. I am so proud of these young ladies. They played with so much heart. They never gave up and they kept fighting."
The Lady Knights will now face No. 2 seed Louisburg College (29-3) from Louisburg, NC at 9:00pm EST (8:00pm CST).
The Community College of Rhode Island, New England's largest comprehensive community college, enrolls nearly 18,000 students in credit courses and thousands more in non-credit and job training classes. Its athletic program boasts 12 varsity programs and an academic support program for all student-athletes.

Now that the Super Bowl champion Ravens have traded veteran wide receiver Anquan Boldin to the San Francisco 49ers in exchange for a sixth-round draft pick after being unable to resolve a contract dispute, how will they replace him in the lineup.
The Ravens could showcase Torrey Smith more. Smith is a proven deep threat, but the Ravens could now use a possession receiver to complement him.
They have Pro Bowl kick returner Jacoby Jones under contract provided they pick up his $1 million roster bonus on March 16, which every indication points toward them doing.
Other receivers on the roster such as Tandon Doss remain unproven.
So, what about the free agent class?
One wide receiver that could fit the Ravens' scheme and that the team holds some interest in is St. Louis Rams free agent Danny Amendola, according to two sources.
Whether Amendola is in the Ravens' price range is highly debatable.
Word is he wants a contract similar to the five-year, $30.775 million contract recently signed by Miami Dolphins wide receiver Brian Hartline that included a $7 million signing bonus and $12.5 million in total guaranteed money.
That's fairly expensive and the Ravens are about $12.263 million under the salary cap currently without issuing their restricted free agent tenders yet.
Amendola, 27, isn't expected to be back with the Rams and will be pursued by the Philadelphia Eagles and several others, including the New England Patriots if they don't work something out with Wes Welker.
Amendola caught 63 passes for 666 yards last season, but was limited to 11 games due to injuries.
There are some durability concerns with Amendola, who's undersized and quick at 5-foot-11, 183 pounds.
The former Texas Tech standout broke his clavicle last season against the Arizona Cardinals, but came back three weeks later and caught 11 passes for 102 yards against the San Francisco 49ers.
Two seasons ago, Amendola broke his collarbone and didn't play the remainder of the season.
Three seasons ago, Amendola played every game and finished with 85 catches for 698 yards and three touchdowns.
Amendola is sure-handed, consistently creates separation and understands how to read defenses.
He's five years younger than Boldin. If the Ravens can somehow fit him into their budget, he would be a nice fit for this offense and provide an asset to quarterback Joe Flacco.
The safe bet is Amendola winds up elsewhere, but he's a player that's firmly on the Ravens' radar that they'll monitor the market for as the free agency signing period approaches Tuesday afternoon.
