2003 Kia Sedona ReviewThis car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale.
Safety and standard features add up to a great value.
Kia Sedona offers an exceptionally good value for a big family that doesn't want to break the budget on a minivan. The Kia Sedona is bigger than a Dodge Caravan and comes loaded with popular features, even more for 2003. Yet the Sedona costs thousands less than popular minivans.
Though relatively inexpensive, the Sedona is among the few minivans that have earned the Federal government's top five-star crash rating for both driver and front-seat passenger, in both front and side-impact tests. That's an important consideration in a family taxi.
Kia Sedona is available in two trim levels, LX ($19,620) and EX ($21,835). Kia says Sedona prices are more than $4500 less than comparably equipped domestic and Japanese brands.
Both models are powered by a big 3.5-liter V6 engine mated to a five-speed automatic transmission. They provide seven-passenger seating and come standard with sliding doors on both sides.
LX is equipped well, even without options. Standard equipment includes front and rear air conditioning, power mirrors, power front windows, cruise control, an overhead console with storage, rear window defroster and wiper/washer, interior lighting, three power outlets, eight-way manually adjustable driver's seat, a tilt steering column, even floor mats. New for 2003 is a standard six-speaker AM/FM/CD stereo.
EX adds remote keyless entry, chrome exterior trim, fog lights, woodgrain interior trim, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, a luggage rack, heated mirrors, power rear quarter windows, power seats for driver and passenger, second-row captain's chairs in place of the standard two-seat bench, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, a folding table, a trip computer, alloy wheels, and an AM/FM/CD/cassette stereo with eight speakers.
The short list of options includes anti-lock brakes (ABS) for $595, a roof rack for the LX ($175), and a trailer hitch ($350). A Leather Package ($850) and power sunroof ($575) are available only on the EX.
Kia Sedona is measures 194 inches long on a 114.6-inch wheelbase. That means the Sedona fits in between the long vans, such as the Dodge Grand Caravan, Honda Odyssey and long-wheelbase versions of the Chevy Venture, and the shorter vans such as the Caravan, the standard-length Venture and the Mazda MPV.
Kia's product planners in America worked with Kia's engineers and designers in Korea to come up with a traditional minivan design. A minivan needs to look like a minivan, they said. Sedona styling cues include a bold grille, big headlamps, and a body-colored roof rack (on the EX). Two-tone body side cladding is standard on EX models, along with brightwork around the rear. Overall, the Kia Sedona is an attractive design.
The outside door handles are easy to grab and we like the design, but the finish is not up to par, and the inside edges do not convey a sense of quality.
The rear hatch is easy to open. Pull on the lever and it raises itself up and out of the way. Anyone less than six feet tall can stand under the hatch without worrying about banging their head on it. Closing it takes a little effort, however, so you'll probably need both hands. As in other minivans this size, there isn't a whole lot of room for cargo behind the third row. There is enough space for a dozen bags of groceries, however, and hooks are provided on the backs of the third-row seats to help keep plastic grocery bags in place.
Living with the Sedona is convenient and comfortable. Visibility from the driver's seat is excellent. The view through the rearview mirror is hindered somewhat by the headrests, though there's a clear view out the middle. Big power side mirrors offer a good view rearward.
All seating positions are roomy and comfortable. The cloth seats in the LX are supportive, better than the flat seats in the Ford Windstar, and the steering wheel is comfortable. The cloth fabric feels like mouse fur, and may be a bit warm in the summer. Better are the leather-covered seats optional on the EX, which are firm and offer power lumbar adjustment. Sedona's seats seem smaller than those in a big SUV, and they suited us, though we would have preferred more side bolstering. Adjustable-height shoulder belts come standard and enhance comfort. So make sure you use them as seatbelts are your best defense in a crash. The front-inside door handles are easy to find and operate, which isn't true in many SUVs.
The second row of seats is comfortable, particularly when ordered as captain's chairs. Second- and third-row occupants each have their own reading lights and cup holders.
Even the third row is a comfortable place for two adults, much more comfortable than the third row that's found in most sport-utility vehicles, even the big expensive ones. There's lots of leg room and good hip room. Headroom is a little more limited, but fine for an average size adult. Window switches allow third-row occupants to open and close the rear quarter windows.
Getting into and out of the third row is very easy, something that can't be said of any SUV, including the giant Suburban. To get out, simply press a foot lever, and the second-row seatback flips forward and then automatically slides forward. Manually operated side doors easily slide open and closed.
To make room for cargo, the third row flips forward, then tumbles, but you must first remove the headrests. The rear seats are heavy, like those in other minivans, such as the Dodge Caravan. They have grab handles, but the seatback doesn't stay locked down, making them awkward to handle. The second-row seats are easy to latch in or out and, like the rearmost seats, are mounted on rollers. But like most seats, when it comes time to lift them, they are still heavy and awkward.
Sedona's transmission lever comes out of the dash. Odd at first glance, this design takes up less space and offers the advantage of opening up interior space between the front seats. It's a good spot for tote bags, purses, or a couple of sacks of groceries, much nicer than having things roll around in the passenger-side footwell. When equipped with second-row captain's chairs, this design creates an area down the center of the seats that's useful for carrying longer items.
Interior switchgear is functional, but not elegant to the touch. It does not impart a feeling of quality. Buttons for cruise control, rear defrost, and the audio system are mounted high for accessibility. But the buttons are small and fussy and lack sufficient tactile feedback.
Nice details include visor extensions for early morning or late afternoon driving. Two glove boxes provide storage, along with a compartment on top of dash similar. There are more cup holders than seating positions. Interiors are available in beige or gray.
Driving Impression
The Kia Sedona is an enjoyable vehicle to drive. The V6 engine delivers good responsive around town. Kia tuned the 3.5-liter V6 more for torque than horsepower, and peak torque comes at just 3500 rpm. Torque is that force that propels you away from intersections and up hills. By concentrating more of the power at lower rpm, the Sedona gets quick acceleration off the line. It's a good engine, at least as smooth as the V6 engines found in American minivans.
A five-speed automatic transmission, once a feature found only on expensive luxury cars, gives the Sedona responsive performance in all situations. The transmission is smooth and responsive. With five gears to choose from, it is able to keep the engine running at the best speed for conditions. Fifth gear is an overdrive (0.73:1) for improved fuel economy on the highway. Sedona burns regular gas, unlike the Honda Odyssey, which means smaller bills at the pump.
Sedona rides well. It's smooth over road undulations. It handles well, the steering is tight, and it feels stable at high speeds. The headlamp/foglamp combination throws a decent beam.
Anti-lock brakes are optional and help bring the Sedona to an undramatic stop when pushed to the limit. We recommend getting the ABS because it helps the driver maintain steering control in an emergency braking maneuver: Mash down on the brake pedal hard, do not relax your foot off the pedal when you feel the ABS pulsing, and remember to steer around obstacles.
The Kia Sedona offers an outstanding value when compared with other minivans. As for quality, only time will tell. In the meantime, the Kia Sedona guarantees much lower monthly payments, a responsive V6, an impressive list of features, and one of the best warranties in the business.
Kia is getting more mighty every day, gaining the acceptance of American consumers. The company now sells more vehicles in the U.S. than Jaguar, Saab, or Land Rover. The Sedona is Kia's first minivan, and the company says minivan buyers are far more demanding than compact-car buyers.

Amir Fam
Concrete Ideas for the Future
"The CFI grant is really the culmination of all our work."
Dr. Amir Fam is talking about the $1.4 million grant the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) awarded him and his colleagues this January. Together with other funding that he is waiting to hear about, the CFI money will go a long way towards his goal of building what he calls a "moving load facility" for testing bridges, a $3.5 million system, likely unique in the world. Having such a facility will help Fam, a professor of civil engineering and the Canada Research Chair in Innovative and Retrofitted Structures, realize what has long been one of the central goals of his research: finding new and better ways both to build concrete structures and to make sure that they last longer.
Conventionally, concrete is poured around rebar (i.e. reinforcing rods) and steel cages and shaped using wooden forms that hold the liquid concrete in place while it hardens. Removing the forms is time-consuming, potentially dangerous and disruptive – pulling them off a bridge can require blocking traffic for considerable amounts of time. Conventionally constructed concrete bridges have other problems as well. Heavy use and Canada's harsh winter climate, with its repeated freezes and thaws, combined with water and road salt, damage them in the long run. Concrete cracks and breaks; far more seriously, the heart of all concrete structures, the steel rebar, corrodes, severely weakening it. Take a look at the crumbling and pitted older bridges passing over Ontario's Highway 401 or Toronto's deteriorating Gardiner Expressway, and it's apparent that concrete can be surprisingly fragile.
Fam's solution has been to create a new, different type of form, made from composites such as fibre-reinforced polymers. Designed to be left in place after the concrete hardens, speeding up and simplifying construction, they also act to reinforce the concrete, taking the place of corrosion-prone steel rebar.
Fam's earliest work with fibreglass and other polymers relied largely on pre-made pipe developed for use in the oil and gas industry and suitable for what are called "closed forms," those used for example in the pouring of bridge uprights. As well as speeding up construction and reinforcing the concrete, these fibre-reinforced polymer tubes protect the concrete against water and the damaging effects of salt and other chemicals. The first-ever bridge constructed using this technique was erected in Virginia in 2000. Such tubes have proven amazingly resilient. Fam has been working recently with colleagues at the Royal Military College to see whether similar columns might prove more blast-resistant than conventional concrete reinforced with rebar.
Tests carried out with high explosives at the Canadian Forces base at Petawawa have demonstrated that they are.
In the last six years or so, financed by Ontario's Ministry of Transportation, Fam has turned his attention to developing fibre-reinforced polymer versions of the conventional wooden "open forms" currently used in bridge construction to shape and hold concrete in place when it is poured. Fam has used large flat plates that will form the underside of bridge decks, and corrugated fibreglass panels specially designed so that concrete will bond to them to serve as part of the roadbed.
What Fam has developed will revolutionize bridge construction. Yet it may well be years before we drive over bridges built using Dr. Fam's latest techniques. Civil engineering, Fam will be the first to tell you, is a "very conservative profession." With good reason – people's lives depend on it, so nothing changes abruptly or before it has been carefully tested.
And that is where his new moving load facility for testing bridges comes in. Fam envisions building a sort of miniature railway in his lab at Queen's. "It was inspired," he says, "by the automatic car wash." Models of future bridge deck components would travel on flat cars under a constantly pounding 200 ton hydraulic press, simulating the effect of heavy vehicles moving over them. The same track will then run them into a chamber where they will be sprayed with salt and other corrosive chemicals, and subjected to extremes of temperature before being hauled under the press again. The relentless pounding combined with extremes of temperature and constant exposure to corrosive chemicals would mirror the constantly changing real-life conditions a bridge endures over several decades, letting Fam test – and improve – his technology in the closest to real-world conditions possible. "It will be," says Fam, "a structural engineering researcher's dream come true." The end result will be bridges that are stronger, easier to build, longer-lasting – and safer than what we have today.

BELLEVILLE, Ill. — Nearly 80 people — including almost 30 from China — gathered at the National Shrine of Our Lady of the Snows in Belleville for a weekend of "Experiencing Jesus Christ Through Chinese Eyes." Many of the Chinese participants were Chinese priests and nuns participating in the Maryknoll-coordinated Chinese Seminary Teachers and Formators Project.
Sister Hedwig Zhang Xiu Kai, a member of the Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Mary in Shenyang, China, was one of those participants. She is studying pastoral ministry, with a concentration in youth ministry, at Catholic Theological Union in Chicago.
"Everyone comes and participates at this meeting, and not everyone is Chinese," she said. "It's a beautiful thing.
"All the presentations give us ideas … how do I think about the Chinese church, what I can do," she said after hearing presentations by fellow Chinese and the repeated question by American participants, "How can we help the church in China?"
Sister Maria Wang Zhi Lei, a member of Our Lady of All Holy Souls in China's Hebei province, also is studying at CTU. She, too, expressed surprise at so much support for the church in China at the conference sponsored by the U.S. Catholic China Bureau.
"People care about China and pray for China … and give their whole life to China," she said. "That touched my heart!"

Ed Sheeran fans clash with Pink Floyd's over Olympics cover
Fans of singer/songwriter ED SHEERAN have angered PINK FLOYD's loyal devotees after failing to realise his performance of the rockers' classic tune WISH YOU WERE HERE at the London Olympics Closing Ceremony was a cover.
Sheeran's following mistakenly thought the track he sang at the 2012 Games extravaganza was a new piece by The A Team hitmaker, and their lack of musical knowledge has upset Pink Floyd's longtime fanbase, with many members complaining directly to the group's drummer Nick Mason, who backed the newcomer onstage at the big gig.
Mason has since written an email to Sheeran to thank him for the opportunity, while he also took the chance to address the fan controversy and expressed his hope that, upon learning Wish You Were Here was a Pink Floyd original, fans would check out the iconic group's back catalogue.
He writes, "Hi Ed, Really great experience, many thanks for a great performance. And a great day out!
"Following a bit of post show stuff with some of the PF fans getting outraged at people not realising the song was not your new release, I just wanted to go on record to suggest they chill on this. As far as I'm concerned what you did was a really great version of the song, and its (sic) one of the nicest tributes to have any artist choose to play another's work, particularly an artist whose (sic) a great song writer in his own right...
"Sooner or later people will work out the origin of the song, and who knows, maybe check out our catalogue, just as hopefully our fans might check out yours. Music doesn't have to be entirely partisan - Or if it does, no one bothered to tell me..."
Sheeran posted the note on his Twitter.com blog on Thursday (16Aug12) and later added, "Hopefully that clears some stuff up. Nick is a top lad and a legend. Was a massive honour to play that song with him."
Sheeran's Olympics appearance with Mason also hit headlines before last weekend's (12Aug12) gig itself after he suggested all three existing members of the rock supergroup would be joining him for the Closing Ceremony - only for a Pink Floyd representative to shoot down the claims.

Armendariz sticks by Range water pollution charge
LUBBOCK, Texas -- The former U.S. EPA official who accused Range Resources Corp. of contaminating drinking water near Fort Worth said Saturday he still believes the company's gas drilling operation fouled the well, even though the federal government dropped the case.
But Al Armendariz, the regional administrator who resigned a month after the case was dropped, said he made the decision to withdraw the case because it was bogged down in the courts.
"The best available data that I was presented by my staff indicated that that driller's natural gas was ending up in a private drinking water well," Armendariz said. "I've not seen, and when I withdrew our enforcement action I didn't see, anything to the contrary."
Answering questions in an appearance at the annual conference of the Society of Environmental Journalists, he continued, "But we do live in a very litigious society. It had been in court for more than a year going on two.
"I felt a better course of action would be to talk to Range about a potential settlement where we would withdraw our enforcement action and they would commit to doing additional monitoring in Parker County," he said.
Range spokesman Matt Pitzarella said Armendariz was wrong and that Range's drilling did not contaminate the well. He said the case was dropped when officials in Washington, D.C., looked at the case and found it unsupportable.
"Much like everything else Dr. Armendariz has said regarding this case, his remarks fly in the face of facts, science and internal documents from Region 6," Pitzarella said. "We're glad that when EPA Headquarters eventually examined this matter, they allowed facts and science to lead to their withdrawal of the order. Dr. Armendariz has proved one thing, however, and that is he's a far better activist than he was regulator."
Armendariz brought the high-profile case in December 2010, as the Dallas-based director for Region 6, which includes Texas and surrounding states. He now works for the Sierra Club on its anti-coal campaign.
He charged that Range had allowed gas from its wells to leak natural gas into two homes in Parker County in the Fort Worth suburbs. He ordered the Houston-based company to fix the problem and supply water to the families.
His emergency order also accused the state oil and gas officials at the Texas Railroad Commission of failing to protect their residents (Greenwire, Dec. 8, 2010).
Range denied the accusations, and the Texas Railroad Commission backed the company.
The case went to federal court, where the agency was represented by Justice Department lawyers. An element of the case went to the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, based in New Orleans.
EPA and the Justice Department dropped the case in March, saying they wanted to shift away from litigation to a "joint effort" involving more testing (E&ENews PM, March 30). As part of the settlement, Range agreed to do much of the testing it would have been required to do under the emergency order.
Nevertheless, the industry and its supporters claimed full victory over Armendariz and EPA. They also cast it as a victory for state regulation over federal intrusion (EnergyWire, April 2).
Weeks later, Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.) circulated a two-year-old video of remarks Armendariz had made at a town hall meeting. In it, Armendariz compared his strategy of making examples of violators to Roman conquerors' strategy to "crucify" random villagers (E&ENews PM, April 25).
The reversal on Range gave additional significance to the video. Critics of Armendariz cited it as confirmation that he had gone after Range with flawed evidence.
Armendariz apologized for the comments and resigned within a week (Greenwire, April 30).
Armendariz has not spoken widely about the case. The agency's comments about the dismissal came from EPA spokespersons. He remained silent about the dismissal of the case. He skipped a congressional hearing where House Republicans deemed the Range charges "false."
He did tell The Texas Tribune in an interview published in August, "It really did happen the way it was described by the agency.
"The agency felt that it would be better to move forward on that matter rather than continuing to litigate it in federal court. And so we withdrew the order and Range agreed to do some more sampling and to send that data to the agency," he said in the question-and-answer-style interview.
His comments Saturday indicated more strongly than previously that he had made the decision, rather than attorneys at the Justice Department or officials in the Obama White House, where natural gas drilling is popular.
"It was mine," he said of the decision.
He noted that he has not seen any of the results of the testing that Range agreed to do under the settlement. EPA has not released any of the data Range has collected and provided under the settlement.

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – The most successful pitcher in Ohio
Valley Conference history, Bonnie Bynum is returning to her alma
mater to join the Tennessee Tech softball program as assistant
Head coach Tory Acheson, who guided Bynum through her award-winning career from 2003 to 2007, announced her addition to his staff where she will serve as pitching coach beginning June 1. She replaces Samantha Bates, who is moving into anew role as volunteer assistant coach.
"I'm excited about the opportunity to come back to
my alma mater," Bynum said. "It's a great thing
that I get to work at the place that I was a part of. I love Tech.
I love Tech athletics, and what they're doing there.
I'm glad to be coming back."
Bynum has spent the past five seasons as an assistant coach at Western Kentucky University. Under her guidance, Hilltopper pitcher Ryan Rogge earned all-region and all- Sun Belt Conference honors.
"Bonnie has been successful in transferring her knowledge
of pitching to her players," said Acheson. "She
understands the craft of pitching, she understands the game, and
she understands student-athletes. I never questioned whether she
would be successful as a coach, and I'm really excited that
she is returning our program.
"Bonnie will be a tremendous asset to Tennessee Tech softball as a coach, the same way she was as a player," Acheson said.
Bynum currently holds every OVC pitching record except one
(which is held by another former Tech pitcher), and was twice named
as Tech's Outstanding Female Athlete. A two-time OVC Pitcher
of the Year in 2006 and 2007, she was a three-time first-team
all-OVC selection. She also won three consecutive OVC Tournament
MVP honors.
As a junior, she was named the Outstanding Female Athlete for the entire OVC.
In the circle for Tech, she was a four-year letterwinner and starter under Acheson. She posted a school- and OVC-record 103 career victories including 34 wins as a senior in 2007.
All told, she appeared in 193 games, throwing 1,021 strikeouts
and six no-hitters. She finished '07 ranked seventh nationally in
victories. During her senior year, she posted a 1.50 earned run
average, throwing 33 complete games and 11 shutouts while pitching
over 300 innings.
She is a native of Fayetteville, Ga., and graduated from Tech in 2007 with a degree in business management.

CHP will be holding events to emphasize safe riding for children.
The California Highway Patrol will observe National Child Passenger Safety Week during the week of September 16 – 22 by conducting child safety seat events throughout the state.
During these events, CHP personnel will assist the public by demonstrating the proper way to install an infant or child's safety seat and will perform safety inspections for all children in the vehicle who are required to be in a safety seat or a seat belt.
"Children depend on adults to keep them safe. For this reason, we are committed to providing parents in communities throughout the state with this free service to help ensure their child's safety on the road," said CHP Commissioner Joe Farrow.
Hundreds of children are killed or injured every year in California as a result of safety seats that are improperly fastened by parents or caretakers. The most recent annual statistics show that 18 of 25 children under the age of eight who were killed in a collision were not properly restrained, and 467 children under the age of eight were injured.
California's new child passenger safety seat law, which went into effect January 1, 2012, requires children to ride in the back seat of a vehicle, in either a car seat or a booster seat, until the age of eight, or until they are 4 feet 9 inches tall.
"Our goal as a traffic safety agency is to ensure every person, regardless of age, is safe on the road," added Commissioner Farrow. "The first step in making that a reality is for every person in the vehicle to buckle up, every time."
Parents are invited to call their local CHP area office to make an appointment with a child safety seat technician for a free car seat inspection.

Marcelle and Ruby Go Shopping A mother and daughter buy back-to-school duds that aren't duds at all
Marcelle and Ruby Go Shopping A mother and daughter buy back-to-school duds that aren't duds at all
If there's one thing about the new school year that kids love and parents don't, it's shopping for clothes. As children get into their tweens and teens, fashion and trends play a bigger part in their lives. But single mom Marcelle Karp, of New York City, satisfies her child's sense of style without breaking the bank. Marcelle and her daughter, Ruby, who blogs for HelloGiggles.com and will enter sixth grade this fall, have a tried-and-true system worked out for back-to-school shopping.
"The younger you initiate your child to budget and cost, the more savvy they can become and also more considerate about what they choose," Marcelle says. "So I have a daughter who chooses her own wardrobe because from the time she was 5, she was aware of cost and numbers." Here are six tips for getting the most out of your back-to-school budget:
Set a budget and include your child on the economic decisions: Ruby and Marcelle have an agreement to never pay full retail price for anything, and no single item can cost more than $20. "Ruby has been trained not to look at stuff that's going to cost $40," Marcelle says. "If she sees something for 21 bucks, she'll say, 'Hey, Mom, it's $21. Will you consider it?' So it becomes a negotiation."
Figure out what you really need to buy: First, says Marcelle, go through the closet and try on last year's clothes. "We take out everything that doesn't fit because she's growing like crazy," Marcelle says. "We put everything in a pile, and that goes to the Goodwill. That really helps us decide what she has to get."
Make a list and check it twice: Marcelle and Ruby tend to shop online due to Marcelle's busy schedule. Ruby goes through her favorite site, ShopJustice.com, which offers trendy, fun clothing at deep discounts, to build her clothing wish list. "She overshops, and I come in and then we weed things out together," Marcelle says. "After we do the closet review, I know in my head what she needs. And really what she needs are staples." (Get Justice coupons.)
Stock up on necessities: Marcelle likes to buy socks, stockings and underpants in bulk at stores such as Kmart and Target. "You can get those 10 packs of underwear for five bucks," Marcelle says. "So you can bulk-buy your underwear for less than $10." And Kmart can come in handy for some cool sneaks, too. "Kmart and Target sell Converse sneakers for like $14.99 for kids. It's amazing because adult Converse cost like $40. They [also] sell super-branded sneakers like Hello Kitty for nine bucks. It's awesome to know that you don't have to spend that much money for the kitschiest of footwear."
Buy with the next year (or two) in mind: Another trick Marcelle relies on is buying some clothes, such as jeans, one size too big. She says a little bagginess is okay with the tween set. However, she says, "I learned this year that the jeggings have to be form-fitting. If they are baggy, you are a loser."
When buying trendy items, buy as many of them as you need if they are on sale: For the past year, Ruby's favorite look has been the aforementioned jeggings. "Oh my God," Marcelle says. "She has like six pairs of jeggings in different shades of blue. Jeggings can be $35, but if you go to ShopJustice.com, and they have a 40 percent sale, you are getting great value. You can get two for the price of one."
But, Marcelle says, don't veer away from buying the cool item just to save a few dollars. "My mother bought me Sasson jeans when I was a kid," she says. "And I really felt that made a big difference in my life. In my opinion, if there's a Sasson jean that [Ruby] wants, she's gonna get them because she's a kid. She only gets to be a kid once, and she doesn't need to be a loser kid."
Marcelle acknowledges the importance of providing children with some of the popular must-haves. Not all these items boast expensive price tags, and they can truly boost your child's social experience. "Succumbing to the trend is not a bad thing," she says. "It keeps your kid at the curve where everybody else is. The reality is that trendy stuff, be it Silly Bandz or jeggings, is not a pair of Jimmy Choo shoes. It's not going to make a difference in your life as an adult. But in general, they are affordable, and it makes a difference in the kid's life at school. And school is like a vicious, vicious place if you are not playing ball."

Kings select Kentucky point guard De'Aaron Fox with 5th pick
By JOSH DUBOW
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) The Sacramento Kings have selected Kentucky point guard De'Aaron Fox with the fifth pick in the NBA draft.
Sacramento had a glaring need for a point guard with Darren Collison, Ty Lawson and Langston Galloway all headed to unrestricted free agency next month and general manager Vlade Divac pounced Thursday when Fox was available.
Fox is extremely quick and a skilled ball handler who showed the ability to get to the basket in his one season at Kentucky. He boosted his stock when he outplayed UCLA's Lonzo Ball in the Sweet Sixteen, scoring 39 points in a Wildcats win.
Fox averaged 16.7 points, 4.6 assists and 4.0 rebounds per game.

I haven't run across anyone from that area yet, but when I say I'm in MN I often get a "me too" with them in the southern part of the state. I grew up in that part of the state tho, but haven't been back there for years.
I'm not sure about the number of players in the Fargo-Moorhead area, but yes, there are a good number in central and SE Mn, namely Twin Cities area and south. In SE Mn (Roch area) myself, and have a friend down here that is looking to start for a few reasons: it's not WOW, F2P, and various friends on other servers. Being that that is a collage/military area, I'm sure there are quite a few people that get their geek on in LotRO. Happy hunting, and good luck.
Heya..I grew up on the Iron Range in Northern Mn. Hibbing to be exact. no such thing as lotro then. Too cold so moved Florida. Miss my home state tho..Hows the weather?? cold is it? Good to see ya guys

The function is designed to discourage phone theft by enabling a manufacturer and carrier to lock the smartphone or tablet even if a SIM card is replaced or the firmware is hacked.
South Korea's Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning said last week it is in talks with the two phone makers about introducing the function to new smartphones, likely from early next year, to curb rising phone theft.
Data from the National Policy Agency show the number of reported smartphone thefts rose 457% to 31,075 last year from 5,575 in 2009. The Korea Customs Service also blocked attempts to smuggle 1,887 smartphones out of the country last year, more than 10 times the 2010 tally of 131 phones.
The government said stolen smartphones are mostly being smuggled overseas because they can't be registered with domestic carriers once they are reported stolen. It said the kill switch is currently the most effective technology to deter phone theft because the function is planted on the operating system or firmware and can't be deleted.
Users will have to register their devices for the kill switch to work.
"Consumers should remain cautious and take phone safety measures by themselves, noting that it is ultimately their responsibility to protect their phone," Lee Dong-hyung, chief of the Telecommunications Policy Bureau at the ministry, said in a statement.
In February, South Korean phone maker Pantech introduced the kill switch function, "V-protection," on its Vega No. 6, becoming the first Korean firm to do so. Its latest Vega LTE-A phone, available in the Korean market since last week, is fitted with yet another strengthened security feature: a fingerprint scanner. A user would need to match the scanned fingerprint to gain access to apps, messages or photos saved in "Secret Mode."
Pantech spokesman Kim Moon-goo said many of its smartphone users don't seem to be very aware of the function. "We hope the government will help improve the public awareness of the measure."
Pressure on handset makers to step up efforts to prevent phone theft and possible leakage of personal information has been growing in the U.S. as well. In June, a group of U.S. prosecutors pushed global phone makers to adopt the kill switch function by 2014.

*We're making this post "sticky" today in honor of Thomas Hockey God Vanek vs. the Habs. Man. This GIF: ALL. DAY. LONG. Go get 'em, boys.
The list of 2011-12 GIFs has begun.
Thanks to Paul Gaustad, Marc-Andre Gragnani, Jason Pominville, Thomas Vanek, and of course, Carey Price's inability to contain his inertia on the ice, we have our first winner GIF of the season.
"The Vanek Set Play" will undoubtedly make our 2011-12 GIFs of the Season, but why wait? Let's enjoy it now.
It looks even better in slo-mo:
It doesn't get any easier looking than that. But bear in mind, this set play wasn't a fluke. It was a play that the team had actually been practicing.
Meanwhile, this game-winner also set a historical marker. From the Montreal Gazette:
Montreal Canadiens haven't started this badly at home since 1938
And that's just the title! The Habs are in an early season struggle, and Vanek's goal was a dagger in the heart of Montreal's effort to get back to their winning ways. Again, from the Gazette:
The chance to end the winless-in-Montreal-since-April-26 skid comes Saturday against the Toronto Maple Leafs. The time to pounce is now, against a team that must surely be distracted planning its Stanley Cup parade.
Indeed, the Northeast Division is Bizarro World right now – the Leafs are atop everyone with a nearly flawless 4-0-1 record. Buffalo is a solid second – for now – at 4-1-0. Montreal's 1-3-1 record has them ahead of the pitiful Senators (1-5-0) by one measly point. If that's not enough, Boston is just one measly point atop Montreal, at 2-4-0. Sure, the Leafs have yet to play an away game, but the all-important goals for/goal against ratio tells no lies.
It seems strange to say that Montreal is entering must-win territory just 5 games into the regular season, but with Toronto in town for a 4 point swing, it's their best chance to start reversing this reversal of fortunes in the Northeast.
Vanek's goal was a shocking upset for Montreal fans, but as it turns out, it wasn't a fluke. As the GF/GA ratio shows us, neither are the Bizarro standings.
For now.
Keep practicing those set plays, boys!
Go Sabres.

As I mentioned a couple of posts ago. Ted Haigh's seminal cocktail guide, Vintage Spirits and Forgotten Cocktails, entered into a new edition this week, and I'm honored and humbled to have a small part to play in the book. I'm part of an appendix to the book, called "Pioneering Champions of the Forgotten Cocktail," in which Ted profiles 25 people he terms the "most influential online cocktail pioneers."
In his introduction to the appendix, Ted explains that the forgotten cocktail is about more than just the drink itself, it's also about those who mixed, drank, and popularized them in the media. Ted's first edition profiled many of the bartenders, bon vivants, and scribblers who contributed to the birth and growth of cocktaliana.
Cocktail writing online has blossomed in the years since that first edition; I've seen it expand manifold in the three years I've been doing it, and Ted says that we have "influenced recipes, bartending, and even the spirits industry." I'm honestly surprised to think of my blog playing such a role, but if Ted says it, I won't dispute it. Ted wanted to ensure that we too have our place in the historic record.
The company is humbling, I must say. I have long respected everyone on this list; it's a bit like finding yourself up for a James Beard award. Ted has them in chronological order by the date the Internet forum, discussion board, or weblog was established, and that's the order I present them. Where the site in question still exists or is actively maintained by its founder, I've provided a link. If my site merits your attention, the others do all the more so.
Here's the first batch; the remainder will follow later this week or early next:
- Craig Goldwyn: America Online Food & Drink Network. Goldwyn appears to be no longer associated with the network he founded.
- Paul Loberg: Webtender.com. The web design may appear dated, but the message boards are very active and peopled by influential bartenders and other cocktail experts.
- Paul Harrington, Laura Moorhead, and Graham Clarke: Cocktailtime.com. Owned and formerly operated by Wired magazine, this site is unfortunately defunct. Harrington tells Ted that he and his partners tried to buy the rights from Wired and revive the site, but were shot down. Harrington also wrote a book, Cocktail, that is out of print and now somewhat expensive to purchase.
- Chuck Taggart, Gumbopages.com/looka. A New Orleans native now living in California, Chuck's the first of many in this appendix whom I'm honored to call a personal friend. Like me, he's not a spirits professional, just an aficionado. His blog is excellent, and he has personally helped revive one of the finest cocktails around, the Vieux Carré–rye, cognac, vermouth, Benedictine, and bitters. I'll be pouring one tonight and toasting Chuck. UPDATE: Looka just turned 10; amazing work, Chuck!
- Robert Hess, groups.msn.com/DrinkBoy. Defunct. Never fear, though, Robert's still active at Drinkboy.com, the Chanticleer Society (where you'll also find me), and the Cocktail Spirit series of video podcasts. Robert, incidentally, shares a name with my father in law, but I don't hold that against either of them.
- Hanford Lemoore, Tikiroom.com. I'm not much of a tiki drinker, so I've never spent much time here, but the forums are poppin'!
- Jamie Boudreau, Spiritsandcocktails.com. Another friend, Jamie tends bar in Seattle, and he has an Amer Picon replica I've been threatening to make for over a year now.
- Jeffrey Morgenthaler, jeffreymorgenthaler.com. Two things you need to know about Morgenthaler: 1) He loves Aquaman, 2) He's an avid vodka collector, 3) He's one hell of a juggler. Wait, that's three things. Damn, that Vieux Carre is smoove. Jeff tends bar in Portland, Oregon, and we learned recently that we have a mutual friend, someone I met in NYC who later returned home to Oregon. Small world.
- Jimmy Patrick, Mixographer.com. I've never met Jimmy, but his was among the first cocktail sites in my blogroll. A direct inspiration for ADOB.
- Paul Clarke, Cocktailchronicles.com. Like Jimmy, Paul's was another direct inspiration for this blog. When I chose to start a blog, I hit Google and started searching for other blogs. Paul's, Jimmy's, and Jamie's were among the first I found. Paul's a helluva guy and one of the most prolific cocktail writers on the scene. You can find his work in Imbibe magazine; the San Francisco Chronicle; the New York Times's Proof blog (currently on hiatus); the website Serious Eats; and the Journal of Horticulture, Cottage Gardener and Country Gentlemen. If Paul's writing career in any way sucks, it's because he has too much to do.
- Erik Ellestad, Egullet's cocktail forum, Underhill-lounge.flannestad.com. Erik's a busy guy. Between posting at the Egullet forum (his nick's EJE; mine's Dietsch), and writing up his epic Stomping Through the Savoy posts for his own blog, Erik holds down a day job and also guest-bartends every week. I don't know how he does it. It can't hurt that he has a charming and patient wife.
More to come.

The Ø-Day track will only contain new
presentations that reveal Ø-Days. If you are revealing a new Ø-Day to the world, this is the track for you. In return for not
announcing in advance Black Hat will help promote your presentation in advance and afterwards. Here are the rules:
1. Because Black Hat subscribes to the concept of responsible disclosure, the vendor or developer of the affected vuln should be notified in advance so they have time to respond. As long as the vendor and the bug finder don't announce before the Black Hat presentation you are good.
2. The Ø-Day has to be revealed to the reviewers to validate, and it won't be revealed to anyone but the reviewers.
"Ø-day" vulnerabilities are a fact of life, but how we deal with them vary greatly. Some build elaborate multi-layer defense in depth systems while some accept the risks and invest in response strategies. This track will deal with the strategies and technologies that have evolved to deal with the Ø-day. Topics might include how to defend against unknown vulnerabilities using system call tracing, randomized stack or heap memory, process sandboxes, tools for code auditing, MAC policies, etc. Lessons learned stories may include case studies of how your organization reacted to a Ø-day Malware attack or how you reversed a malicious binary, highlighting What worked and what didn't.
As network routers, fire walls, and operating systems become more mature, the security surrounding applications have become one of the most popular attack vectors, on and off the web. In the "Web 2.0" world this might mean format string problems, improper input validation testing, improper authentication, SQL injections, XSS and related problems. How do we find or fix these problems? Presentations may cover strategies for auditing web applications, reverse engineering binaries to find or fix vulnerabilities, source code analysis, secure coding practices, black box testing tools, and configuration best practice guidelines would all be appropriate for this track.
You can't go a day without reading an article about the Storm or xxx bot nets, or the latest version of the WebAttacker or MPACK toolkits. What are the trends with massive botnets? How do we realistically deal with their implications? Tools, analysis and defenses related to botnets fit this new track.
Can you guess what this track might contain?
In depth presentations on a variety of topics. Not for the faint of heart. If your topic requires a minimum of 150 minutes, this track with give you the time necessary to cover your technical topic in depth.
So, you think you have been hacked? This track will deal with what you should do after you suspect a system or network compromise. Topics could include log analysis of HIDS or NIDS alerts, disk imaging and forensics, system baseline analysis, live system acquisition, memory dump analysis, etc. would be examples of the forensics portion of this track. On the anti-forensics front, techniques for hiding your processes in memory, strategies for never touching the disk to avoid drive analysis tools, 'evidence-eliminator' type tools and their limitations would all be appropriate.
With more and more bits of software running on embedded appliances, this
track focuses on the security surrounding both attacking these devices as well as defending them. Talks might include
reverse engineering security tokens, RFID chips, iPhones, or routers. Differential Power Attacks, tricky use of JTAG ports,
or turning your PS3 into a SIMD password cracker.
I am particularly interested in attacks against "secure" hardware such as passports, tokens, crypto cards and accelerators, and TPM implementations.
Issues surrounding the network. What network you ask? Any network! SS7, x.25, IPv6, or maybe something is wrong with 802.11n or SCADA? As more networks are built and legacy systems integrated we are discovering all kinds of unintended consequences. Talks could cover network scanning, mapping, transient trust problems, driver issues, implementation disasters, or spoofing for example.
Have a topic you think is hot? Something that will pave the way to a new class of vulns, open the door to new areas of research? Found a problem with large implications? A defense that changes the game for attackers? Let the reviewers know why your topic is hot and it might land here.
OTA: Over the Air over the Air covers security related to all wireless technologies from HSDPA (3.5G), WiFi/WiMax, Infrared, RFID, GSM/3G, etc. While not technically a wireless security specific problem, Man in the Middle attacks against wireless systems would also fit in this track. From passive monitoring and decryption to active replay attacks, this track is wireless specific.
This track is intended for the growing set of topics that fall under the broad umbrella of virtualization. If you've got fresh research and insight into the world of virtualized security, this is the track for you.
Back again for 2008, The Turbo Talks track will consist of 20 minute talks covering subjects that do not require a full length presentation slot. Topics can range widely, and there are no specific guidelines for what must be included. Examples might include the announcement of a new security project or initiative, the release of research data, a quick tip or techniques talk on a very specific topic, a call for participation in a study, a question and answer session surrounding a new law, etc. Please note: Because of the nature of this track Black Hat will not pay a speaking, hotel, or airfare fee. Selected presenters will receive a full conference pass, though.
The Un-Track builds on recent un-cons and mash up meet ups. The concept is to be both an attendee and a presenter. Show up in the morning at the track and dynamically set the agenda with your peers using a big white board. Think of it as dynamic BoF sessions, maybe led by you! Up to four rooms will be available holding 40 people each with each un-talk lasting 50 minutes. Once the schedule is decided in the morning it is displayed on reader boards around the conference floor. NO CFP IS NECESSARY. This is just to get you inspired. For a better idea on how this all works please see the video the masseventslabs guys made at: https://media.blackhat.com/bh-usa-08/masseventslabs-unconvention.mp4
Questions may be sent to cfp at blackhat.com

Founded in 1903, SIO, affiliated with UC San Diego, is one of the world's oldest, largest and most important centers for global science research. Scripps' mission is to seek, teach and communicate scientific understanding of the oceans, atmosphere and Earth sciences for the benefit of society and the environment.
Stuart J. Krantz, SIO's executive director of development, told Rotarians the institution was initially housed in the Del Coronado boathouse and was started by zoologist William Ritter of UC Berkeley.
"Ritter wanted to better understand the marine environment," said Krantz, noting with the patronage of E.W. Scripps and Ellen Browning Scripps, Ritter was able to do exactly that.
"They found this nice piece of (oceanfront) property, 170 acres, which at that time was Pueblo land, which had no buildings on it that nobody wanted in La Jolla Shores," said Krantz. "The Scripps gave it to Ritter for his marine biology station at that time."
Krantz said SIO has "a very large education program" with 250 Ph.D. students and extensive outreach to regional K-12 schools, including Birch Aquarium at Scripps.
"The leading oceano-graphers around the world, many of them study at Scripps," said Krantz, noting SIO has numerous research laboratories, as well as two research vessels that traverse the globe.
Krantz said a new SIO vessel, The Sally Ride, is under construction and will be ready in 2015. He added some two million items are contained in Scripps' marine and geological samples collection that goes back "almost 100 years."
Dr. Margaret Leinen, SIO's new director, is taking a progressive stance in moving the institution forward, Krantz said.
"She's told us we need to have a much more outward focus, as historically we've been more inwardly focused," he said, adding SIO plans to be more forthright about letting people know "the impacts we are having," while continuing to educate the public about "serious environmental challenges" confronting the world on a number of fronts.
Rotary International is an international service organization whose purpose is to bring together business and professional leaders to provide humanitarian services, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations and help build goodwill and peace in the world.
"There are 1.2 million Rotarians in the world with more than 54,000 clubs," said Gordon Shurtleff, Torrey Pines Rotary Club president.
Torrey Pines Rotary Club is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year.
The group meets Wednesdays from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at Rock Bottom Brewery, 8980 Villa La Jolla Drive.

Owners of a losing record in the middle of the 2012-2013 basketball campaign, the girls of Germantown Academy regrouped and eventually were able to finish their season in the championship game of the Pa. Independent Schools Tournament last weekend at Malvern Prep.
Defeating the Academy of Notre Dame in a Friday semifinal, 54-46, the Patriots ran into a determined Episcopal Academy squad the following day. The top-seeded Churchwomen added the Indy Schools crown to their 2013 Girls Inter-Ac title, topping GA for a third time this winter, 56-42.
Still, the Pats ended their season in a good spot compared to where they'd been a little over a month earlier. As 2013 began, Germantown lost to Springside Chestnut Hill Academy for the first time ever, and when the Patriots' first encounter with Notre Dame ended in a 49-44 defeat on January 11, their record fell to 2-3 in the league and 7-8 overall.
Senior Fran Sweeney, a guard who will go on to Emory University, related "Five of us are seniors, and we wanted to put the things the coaches were telling us into action, and have the best outcome that we could."
Later in the regular season, they were able to avenge the losses to both SCH and the Irish, and in all they won 11 of their last 14 games to finish 18-11. The Pats were not able to hang onto the Inter-Ac crown they'd worn since 1999, coming in third in the league with an 8-4 record that included two losses to Episcopal, 42-29 and 51-40.
Back on February 5, Germantown's 54-46 win in its rematch with Notre Dame had knocked the Irish out of a tie for the league lead with EA. Both GA and Notre Dame were looking forward to a third meeting in the Independent Schools tournament, but before their paths converged in the semifinals, they'd have to win in the quarterfinals on February 13.
Both number two Notre Dame and third-seeded GA had received byes in the first round of the tourney, but while the Irish blasted through last Wednesday's quarterfinal against SCH, 58-25, the Patriots struggled against number six Abington Friends, getting by 47-41. Fortunately for GA fans, the Pats summoned up a much higher level of intensity for the clash with their traditional Inter-Ac rival, Notre Dame.
As usual when playing the Irish, GA would focus its defense on limiting the inside and outside scoring of Notre Dame's two Division I signees, Megan McGurk (Bucknell) and Kathleen Fitzpatrick (St. Joseph). Frankly, the Patriots didn't really achieve that aim, since the two guards put up 22 and 21 points, respectively.
The problem for the Irish was that they got a total of just three points from the rest of their roster, even though all five starters are seniors.
The only Notre Dame field goal not provided by the team's two stars came from Nikki Callahan early in the first quarter, when her lay-up complemented three buckets by Fitzpatrick in an 8-2 opening run. Lehigh-bound GA forward Kiernan McCloskey went coast-to-coast and straight down the lane to score at the end of the quarter, and a short jumper by Patriots sophomore Olivia Gorman began the second period.
Still, with nine points apiece from its backcourt headliners, Notre Dame remained in front throughout the half, which ended with a 21-15 tally. The Pats looked to get into the locker room with just a four-point deficit after Gorman canned a late three-pointer, but on a final charge up the floor by the Irish, GA managed to leave McGurk wide open under the basket and she scored off a pass from Fitzpatrick.
Nevertheless, junior forward Margaret Anne Hubbell said that the feeling among the Patriots was "We knew we could come back against them, because we were down more than that the last time we played them and we won the game. We just needed to go out there really get to work."
McCloskey would have a huge fourth quarter for GA, but other players helped close the gap to three points by the conclusion of the third period. Early on, Hubbell hit a free throw and scored a lay-up off a feed from senior Dempsey Cooper (a University of Rhode Island recruit).
In the middle of the quarter, the small but scrappy Sweeney knocked down a three-pointer and a shorter jumper, and senior forward Angela Upright (who will play for former GA coach Jim Buckley at Ursinus College) scored off an inbounds pass and then netted a pair of free throws.
Fouls were becoming a serious problem for the Irish; they finished the third round with nine team violations, and certain individuals were getting in deep, as well.
"It was starting to work in our favor," commented GA's Hubbell. "Just driving the lane and going up strong was helpful."
It was 35-32 for the start of the fourth stanza, when McCloskey would chalk up 12 of her team-high 18 points. She got going right away with two free throws, a driving lay-up, and an assist on a transition bucket by Hubbell. GA had taken the lead for the first time all day, but the Irish came back to tie twice, at 38-all and then at 39-39.
With 3:32 to go, Hubbell drove through a pair of opponents for a lay-up that pushed the Pats ahead for good. The next two Notre Dame possessions ended with steals by GA freshman guard Kendall Grasela, the first one leading directly to a McCloskey field goal.
Grasela hit two foul shots as the clock dropped down close to two minutes remaining, making it 45-39. McCloskey scored after recovering a loose-ball rebound at the defensive end, then Notre Dame turned the ball over and fouled the player who grabbed it, Hubbell. When she made both free throws with 1:40 to go, Germantown led by a full 10 points, 49-39.
Notre Dame finally got into the foul bonus and McGurk shot a perfect one-and-one. Next, she freed herself with a sidestep at the three-point line and found the net, cutting the lead to five points early in the final minute. Regaining possession through a travelling call, the Irish used their final time-out with 52 seconds left and the score still 49-44.
Notre Dame missed its next two shots from the floor and Fitzpatrick fouled out of the game with an infraction against McCloskey, who made the second of two freebies with 33.6 seconds showing. GA's Sweeney then jabbed the ball loose from the Irish and Grasela grabbed it, and when she missed a shot, McCloskey corralled the rebound and was fouled. The senior was on target with both tosses, spreading the score to 52-44.
Notre Dame's McGurk and GA's Grasela each converted a pair of free throws in the final 10 seconds, and the foul against Grasela was number five for Irish senior Ali Abbonizio. McCloskey posted 18 points and nine rebounds and Hubbell had 12 points and seven boards for the winners, who got nine points from Gorman, six from Grasela (five rebounds, four assists, three steals), five from Sweeney, and four from Upright (four rebounds).
Earlier in the day Episcopal had beaten fourth-seeded Shipley School in the other semifinal, 57-44, and the next afternoon the Churchwomen showed their resolve to add the Pa. Independent title to their Inter-Ac championship. EA's 6'2" post presence, Megan Quinn (a senior who committed to Villanova University midway through her high school career), fired 15 of her game-high 24 points in the first half, which ended with a double-digit lead for the Churchwomen, 26-16.
Episcopal had pulled away after gaining a 12-10 edge in an opening quarter that featured two three-pointers and a lay-up by Germantown's Gorman. Throughout the game, EA made a lot of hustle plays, beating GA to numerous loose balls.
The Pats tried to rally after halftime, but the first two field goals of the third round belonged to a reserve guard for the Churchwomen, Meghan Pickell. Other cast members surrounding Quinn kept stepping up at various times to prevent the Pats from focusing on just one or two threats. For example, late in the third stanza EA received three-point field goals from both senior Kristen Hinckley (who'll play lacrosse at Dartmouth) and junior Sarah Abbonizio (cousin of Notre Dame's Ali).
The fourth quarter began 42-31 and both teams quickly got into the foul bonus, but Episcopal got more mileage out of that than the Patriots. A full dozen of the Churchwomen's 14 points in the period came from the free throw line as they tacked another three points onto their lead.
McCloskey again paced GA with 15 points, with eight apiece coming from Gorman and Hubbell, and five from Grasela. Four points from Cooper and two from Upright completed the Patriots' scoring.
"It was great to get to the final," Sweeney said, "and it was nice to play against Episcopal again, even though it didn't work out the way we wanted. The middle of our season was kind of rough, so we were proud to get this far at the end."

Sparkle: Whitney's last film
02.14.2012 | By Jack Rico | No Comments">No Comments
Before her sudden death at age 48, the legendary singer Whitney Houston made her last film – Sparkle. The film has an official release date for August 17, 2012 and sure to be now one of the most anticipated films of the year. Not much is known about Whitney's character except she will play a single mother whose daughter has high aspirations of becoming a music superstar.
'Sparkle', is loosely based on the 1976 musical film that tells the story of Sparkle (Jordin Sparks) a girl who strives to become a music star, while trying to overcome the problems that are destroying her family. She comes from a wealthy neighborhood in Detroit, where she lives with her single mother (Whitney Houston). In the midst of her personal difficulties, Sparkle tries to balance a new romance with music manager, Stix (Derek Luke), while she and her two sisters (Carmen Ejogo and Tika Sumpter) face unexpected challenges in trying to become a dynamic group of singers during the golden era of Motown.
The only photo that exists so far of Houston in the movie is the one below. In it we see a Whitney holding her daughter in the film, Jordin Sparks, with a glamorous dress. She looks young, healthy and beautiful.
At the time of this publication, it is unknown when exactly the official premiere of the trailer of 'Sparkle' will be released or how much screen time Houston will have. So remember, August 17 we will see on the silver screen the last picture of one of the most unique voices of the 20th century.

Powering transit with wind...from cars?
July 14, 2007
More News & Resources:
Mark Oberholzer of Wittenberg Oberholzer Architects in Houston proposes a unique idea for greening transit: using the wind generated by cars and trucks on freeways as a fuel source. Passing vehicles drive wind turbines built into freeway dividers, which then can serve as a local power source for transit overhead. Oberholzer's design was a runner-up in Metropolis Magazine's 2006 Next Generation design contest, and it continues to inspire designers looking for new ways to power transit.

Brian was just some weird guy Logan slept with once and then tried to get rid of, or so he thought, until Santa arrived in the middle of the night to whisk him off to Christmas Land to be punished for his behaviour. From the initial ride in the sleigh to the frozen landscape, Christmas Land is not at all Logan's cup of tea. He doesn't know anything about making toys, and he really begins to resent that little elf who writes his name down every time he says a bad word. Logan suspects he's caught up in a nightmare, until he meets Terrance, and some elves, that have been just waiting for a real bad boy like Logan to come along. Then he sees Julius, and for the first time in his life, Logan hears music.

Talk:Arch package guidelines
- What encoding (ascii ? UTF-8 ?) should be used for text files in submitted packages ? --Airbag 13:43, 15 August 2006 (PDT)
- Shouldn't we suggest using SHA1 hash and not the already broken one (MD5)? Tomato 15:47, 25 August 2010 (EDT)
- The section about custom variables ("_blah=blah") is misleading. Nowadays custom variables are a common practice since they can simplify and/or modularize the PKGBUILD a great deal. The parts where they are recommended to not to be used should be modified. --Det 13:13, 14 September 2010 (EDT)
- I've recently found that packages that used bundles libraries tend to segfault. Should we suggest the removal of bundled libraries and instead use system libraries?
- How about adding https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Web_application_package_guidelines to the list? --Trontonic 11:18, 29 February 2012 (EST)
Proposed revision (shouldn't this already be added...?)
Is something like /usr/include/{pkg} allowed? Is something like /usr/lib/{pkg}-{versionnumber} allowed? Same for /usr/share?

$ export PACKAGER="John Doe@email"

You can also use State 'any' for architecture independent packages.
- Add 'custom' to the licenses array. Optionally,
you canreplace 'custom' with 'custom:"name of license"'.

Submitting Packages to the AUR
The submitted PKGBUILDs MUST NOT build applications already in any of the official binary repositories under any circumstances. Exception to this strict rule may only be packages having extra features enabled and/or patches in compare to the official ones. In such an occasion the pkgname array should be different to express that difference. This gets repeated word for word in #Packaging Standards
- I see no problem in repeating it here as regularly there are users not following that rule. Snowman
To ensure the security of pkgs submitted to the AUR please ensure that the md5sum values have been correctly filled. The md5sum's can b...
Additional Guidelines
Be sure to read the above guidelines first-- important points are listed on this page that will not be repeated in the following guideline pages...
Package Releases
Package releases are specific to Arch Linux packages. These allow users to differentiate between newer and older package builds. When a new package version is first released, the release count starts at 1. Then as fixes and optimizations are made, the package will be re-released to the Arch Linux public and the release number will increment. When a new version comes out, the release count resets to 1. Package release tags follow the same naming restrictions as version tags.
Examples of when to change the package release number:
- Changing pkgdesc -> do NOT bump (unless it's severely wrong or something)
- Changing deps -> bump
- Changing makedeps -> do NOT bump, ever
- Changing optdeps -> do NOT bump (unless very important functionality provided)
- Changing build stuff (i.e changing PKGBUILD but no change to resulting binary) -> do NOT bump
(based on aur-general discussion: http://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/aur-general/2011-April/014247.html)
Adding system users
Some packages require the addition of system users. For them to be ignored by things such as lightdm, tthey have to be in the sub-1000 UID space. Looking at packages in ABS, these users are simply added with an useradd -u .... However, there is no guideline or authoritative list that I can find which lists which UID is used for what, which is free, or how to register a UID for a specific system user. It would be nice to see a section about it here.
--OlivierMehani 19:31, 13 October 2011 (EDT)
See https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:UID_/_GID_Database
I thinks it's a bit too specific to be listed here.
Snowman 20:45, 13 October 2011 (EDT)
Wiki Admin needed to fix a link
The link and heading here (Arch_Packaging_Standards#Gnome_packages) needs to be fixed. All that needs to be done is "Gnome" --> "GNOME" in both the heading and the link. -- Jstjohn (talk) 02:21, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

I don't know what the chances are of a baby sharing a birthday with his or her parent, but thanks to this amazing story, I now know how rare it is for three generations to be born on the exact same day: rare. Like, really rare. As in, a 0.000751 percent chance.
Despite the staggering odds, October 3 turned out to be an extra special day for the Nixons of Waymart, Pennsylvania. Little Ryan Charles Nixon was born right on his due date -- which happens to be the same birthday he shares not only with his father, but with his grandfather as well.
Three generations of sons born on the same day! Seriously, how awesome is this family's birthday parties going to be?
Ryan Nixon's grandfather Clifford Charles Nixon was born on October 3, 1961, and his son Justin Ryan Nixon was born on the same day in 1989. The entire family must have been shocked when Justin's wife Katie was given a due date of October 3, but it seemed highly unlikely that their baby would arrive as scheduled -- she actually started having contractions more than a month ago. Doctors predicted she had less than a 5 percent change of giving birth in October.
Unbelievably, Ryan was born via C-section right on time. As for the birthday serendipity, his mom couldn't be more pleased:
It was perfect. The whole pregnancy, I was hoping that it would happen. (...) I thought I wasn't going to make it to October, let alone the third.
I'm sure this has happened to other families, but it's definitely the first I've heard of it. I can only imagine how fun it will be to celebrate all three generations each year -- I'm picturing three different cakes, each with a variety of candles (Grandpa's will be the fire hazard, natch).
Do you know of any kids who share a birthday with one of their parents -- or a grandparent? Or both?

Annual event funds Rotary scholarships, programs
The smell of Craig's barbecue will soon be floating through the air in Stuttgart as the Stuttgart Rotary Club gets ready for its annual Donald Oliver Memorial Barbecue fundraiser.
The event will be held from 5-7 p.m. Thursday in the cafeteria at Park Avenue Elementary.
"We are looking forward to another big barbecue fundraiser this year," Lynn Keller, publicity chairman of the annual barbecue fundraiser, said. "This is annual event and everyone in Stuttgart Rotary Club participates in it."
Keller said the proceeds go to the projects of the Stuttgart Rotary Club, which include community projects and scholarships to deserving seniors graduating on the Grand Prairie.
"This is also a time for members to work alongside their other members, get to know them and work for a worthy cause," Robin Harris, ticket chairman, said.
The Stuttgart Rotary Club has two large fundraisers — the annual Stuttgart Rotary Club Christmas Radio Auction and the Donald Oliver Memorial Barbecue — to fund the club's programs, Harris said.
Keller said this year the Stuttgart Rotary Club awarded $15,000 worth of college scholarships to recipients in Stuttgart thanks to the Donald Oliver Memorial Barbecue.
This event is dine-in or carry-out and tickets can be purchased from any Rotary Club member or by contacting Harris at (870) 673-3545.
