It's been around for quite a while now, the VW Scirocco. After a 16-year hiatus, the Scirocco came storming back into the VW Range in 2008. We're not in the habit of reviewing cars that have been on the market for four years, but – as our recent reviews of cars like the Toyota GT86, Astra VXR and Focus ST show – if you've about 25 grand to throw around on a new car, your choice is rich. And in previous reviews, we've always held up the Scirocco as a star at this level. But the point is, the game's moved on. So, with all the new competition, can the Scirocco's star still shine as brightly?
If you worked for another car company, you'd probably be envious of the guys working at VW. As one of the biggest car company's in the world - VW Group owns Audi, Bentley, Lamborghini, Skoda, etc - it has massive economies of scale. In plain English, that means it can share under-the-skin components and expensive systems such as electric and air-con architectures, across multiple models, saving on development costs. Which allows it to play around and spend more money on the bits you can look at, feel and hear.
In the Scirocco's case, this means that what's basically a Golf GTi underneath gets transformed into a rather sleek, 3-door coupe-like hatchback, with a completely different body from the Golf. While the GTi has always been a favourite, it's ultimately still just a Golf. The Scirocco feels different, a little bit special, a little more bespoke. The squat front end and thin grille and light arrangement aren't really like other VW front ends. And there are neat little details, such as the slight bulges in the roofline which rise up to cover where the boot hinges to the roof.
Step inside and it's a bit more of a mixed bag. The main dashboard's out of a Golf - good quality, but it's not going to set your pants on fire. But the unique door furniture, frankly lovely leather-covered seats and bespoke handles and switches make it feel just special and - crucially - different enough.
And while you'll feel like you're driving something a bit more fun than a regular 3-door hatch, part of the appeal of this car is that you can stuff two regular-sized people in the back seats and the boot's big enough for a week's clobber for two people, too.
As we've said before, VW is the king of non-annoying technology. Whereas other car manufacturers perplex with their interface layouts, confusing menus and lack of clarity, VW brings you simplicity and logic.
However, given our recent exposure to the latest system from BMW and Audi, this is an area in which the Scirocco's star slips a little. There are three main areas of interest. High on the dash, our car came with VW's optional RNS 510 Touchscreen navigation system. Much of what it can do is mirrored via a display in the centre of the instrument cluster – which you can control via voice and steering wheel controls. Finally, in the centre armrest there's the auxiliary connector sockets.
You'll be aware that we're bigger fans of rotary controlled infotainment systems rather than touchscreens and on a bumpy ride across the Yorkshire Dales, the Scirocco's touchscreen system once again illustrated how tricky these systems can be to program accurately on the move. But get over that, and it's primarily good news.
Sensibly, VW's laid out a series of hard shortcut buttons either side of the screen for everything you'll ever need - radio, nav, map, media, phone etc. This means you can skip straight to where you want to go in the system easily. And the display and information are accurate and easy on the eye. Only the Qwerty keyboard layout for Sat Nav destination input and a slightly odd logic to accepting post codes caused real frustration. But otherwise, this is a system we wholeheartedly recommend you get option box ticking on. For £585 it seems excellent value, bringing you a 6.5 inch colour screen, navigation, an SD card reader, the ability to play MP3 and WMA files directly and perhaps best of all, incorporating a 30GB hard drive on which to story your media directly in the car.
But even if you don't opt for it, you get the aforementioned media connector socket in the centre armrest, which comes complete with a dedicated iPod chord. Our only issue with this is that when connecting an iPhone 4 and then shutting the armrest, it was such a snug fit that the connector kept popping off the phone. Bluetooth phone connectivity and the ability to play music via it is standard too, along with a 12v socket in the front under dash area and one in the luggage bay.
It's on the road that the Scirocco has always excelled. In the range, you can choose from a lower-power 1.4 TSi petrol, a Bluemotion diesel - which you'll want if economy and CO2 efficiency are your top priority - or the bonkers quick R model. We, however, tested what's probably the sweet spot of the range – the 2.0 TSi petrol – which has 210 horsepower and shares its powertrain with, you guessed it, the Golf GTi.
If you've driven any of the VW Group 2.0 turbo petrol engines you'll be used to the ease with which you can make progress. But our memories don't recall them feeling as potent as this unit in the Scirocco. If it's your thing, 0-60 comes up in a little over 6 seconds. But it's not in a drag-race where you'll really notice the Scirocco's ability to move – it's when you're rolling along in second or third and need a burst of power to overtake someone. Then it really goes. And unlike many turbo units, it pulls all the way round to about 6500 rpm without feeling like it's running out of breath.
It's got a fruity exhaust note too, although this happily settles down on a motorway cruise. Overall however, it's still a little noisier car to travel in out on the road than its cousin the Audi TT.
It rides and handles really well too. One of the reasons you might choose a Scirocco over a Golf GTi is that adaptive chassis control is standard on this car, whereas it costs extra on the Golf. It gives you the usual option of a lovely compliant ride in comfort, or firming it up and having much better control of the body roll in sport. We left it in comfort most of the time, but over that moorland road, in sport it felt very hunkered down without getting crashy and uncomfortable.
For the performance on offer, CO2 emissions of 172 g/km aren't bad and while we got only 30mpg during our test, we'd expect that to go up as this car has less than a 1000 miles on the clock, and we only spent 10 miles on the motorway. Our only advice is to try the DSG auto option. Our test car's manual gearbox is fine, but the DSG suits this engine.
It's easy to see why there are so many Scirocco's out there on the road. It's a testament to what a good car it is that, despite lots of new opposition, it's still not just easy to recommend but very covetable too.
Whether it's the one for you, only a test drive will tell. It doesn't feel as rabidly fast as an Astra VXR, isn't quite as sharp a steer as a Focus ST and won't go round roundabouts sideways like a Toyota GT86.
But it's the kind of car that allows you to take three mates from work out for lunch in your car. The kind of car you'd not be embarrassed to rock up at country estate in and the kind of car your mother-in-law isn't going to pull faces at you for making her ride in the back of.
It's a great, practical all-rounder, but the trick up its sleeve is that, when the road's right and you're on your own, it's still a great drive. All this together with a technology package that's unlikely to get on your nerves like some of the opposition's will.
It lacks that last degree of true wow and excitement factor, which is why it misses out on the final half a star, but it's still a very strong contender. And if you're thinking of ordering one, right now VW's offering a £1000 deposit contribution and low-rate finance deals, which might just sway your decision the Scirocco's way. Just make sure you test drive the opposition before plumping for what is, quite rightly, the default choice in this class.

Snowflakes in Southern California
Speaking of my mom, when I was growing up, I don't think I went a week during the winter without eating a hot, delicious bowl of her escarole and beans. It was a classic Friday night quick dinner typically served with crusty Italian bread. No matter how often I ate it, I never, ever tired of it. It's one of the dishes that Jeff and I crave when we're feeling blue for home or feeling chilled, like we do today. When you eat it, it makes you feel warm and comfortable.
I have absolutely no proof that Progresso cannelini beans will make this dish taste better, but my mom used them, so I use them, and so should you. They really are extra creamy and tasty. Plus, I like the picture of the can. I usually make a big batch of this; it's one of the few foods I love as a leftover.
Mom's Italian Escarole and Bean Soup
Print recipe only here.
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced
1 large head of escarole, chopped (about 10-12 cups)
1 15-ounce can of cannelini beans (rinsed)
1 15-ounce can of crushed tomatoes (or more if you'd like it soupier)
Lots of crushed red pepper flakes
Salt, to taste
Lots of good grated Reggiano Parmigiano cheese (preferably from Dad)
Heat oil in a large skillet. Add garlic and sauté 1-2 minutes. Add chopped escarole, and toss occasionally, about 4-5 minutes, until it wilts. Add beans, crushed tomatoes, red pepper flakes, and salt. Heat through for 2-3 minutes more. Remove from heat; (this will help the escarole stay bright green).
Top with grated cheese before serving.

1. The key to good bathroom lighting is flexibility, because the bright light required for shaving or applying make-up is not the soft, relaxing light you need to enjoy a soak in the tub.
As long as they're suitable for the zone they're in (see below), recessed spotlights on a dimmer switch are a good solution because you can adjust the brightness to the task in hand. Wall lights can also be bright, task lighting, especially around the basin, or soft lighting when you don't want the ceiling light on.
2. Bathroom zones are worked out according to their proximity to the taps and shower, with zone 0 being inside the bath and shower. The lower the zone number, the more protected the light must be. This is sometimes expressed as an IP (ingress protection) rating, but it's simpler to go by the zone - it should say on the box which zone or zones a bathroom light is suitable for. Some even have a diagram of the zones on the box, although you can easily find this online. Lights designed for inner bathroom zones have encased bulbs for safety, but it can be a good idea to have this type of light fitting in outside zones because steam can corrode 'open' fittings over time. However, the latter tend to give off a lot more light than 'closed' fittings.
3. If you don't have an extractor fan in your bathroom, get an electrician to fit one. Extractors reduce the damage caused by steam and moisture, and help to prevent mould and mildew. In bathrooms without a window, which is common in flats, an extractor is even more important and should be switched on every time you shower or bath. Extractors are usually wired to come on with the ceiling light, although they can be switched off independently.
4. A centrally heated towel rail (or radiator) and/or underfloor heating (either electric or 'wet') are popular choices for keeping bathrooms warm. When it's turned on, underfloor heating makes stepping out of the shower or bath on a cold day a pleasure, but fitting it will involve some disruption, so it can be better to wait until you're redoing the bathroom. If you like toasty towels all year round, an electric towel rail or a central heating towel rail that can be fitted with an electric element may be ideal, as it will dry your towels without the central heating having to be on.
5. Electrical work in the bathroom should rarely be attempted by DIYers - you may be breaking building regulations, as a bathroom is regarded as a 'special location' for electrical installations. Play safe and use a qualified and reputable electrician, who will be able to make sure the work's safe and legal. Although you can employ a building control inspector from the local council or a private firm, the easiest option is to use an electrician who belongs to a 'competent person scheme', such as NICEIC (www.niceic.com). They can self-certify that their work complies with building regs and should provide the completion certificate you need.

The Third Smartphone Ecosystem Is Ending With A Whimper
Remember the emerging third smartphone ecosystem? It's disappearing.
Telecom executives for years have trumpeted the need for a new cellphone platform to provide a counterweight to the dominance of Google's Android and Apple's IOS. Maybe it could be BlackBerry. Or maybe Windows.
Or maybe not. According to the data from IDC, the two top players are only getting stronger, grabbing 96.4% of global smartphone shipments in the second quarter, up from 92.6% a year ago.

With Christie Rampone's attic creaking under the weight of 260 caps, it's hardly surprising that she holds the record for international appearances among active players. The USA captain is also preparing to set two national records tomorrow evening when she takes the field in an Olympic Women's Football Tournament match for the 17th time and becomes the first American to appear in four separate editions.
Yet what keeps Rampone's competitive juices flowing at the age of 37 is not quantity, but quality. That is why the idea of notching up yet more appearance records is thrilling her less than the prospect of becoming the first footballer of any nationality, and of either sex, to win three gold medals. Even more exciting, the veteran centre-half is convinced that USA's class of 2012 have what it takes.
"We've come here to win gold, there's no doubt about that," she told FIFA.com. "It's important we peak at the right time, but this team's been together for a while now and we've been getting better as the year has gone on. I just can't wait to get started now.
"Even though it's my fourth Olympics, it still feels as exciting as when I turned up at Sydney for my first all those years ago. As an American, you grow up dreaming of the Olympics and everyone knows what it means and what it takes to succeed. Although the culture is changing now, it's taken people some time to understand the significance of World Cups. The Olympics is still the big one back home.
"Plus, my kids (Rylie, six, and Reece, two) will be here to watch me play, so that makes this one extra special. We didn't fly them over for the World Cup in Germany as it was a little expensive, but we thought we'd go for it this time. After all, this tournament might be my last."
Not that Rampone is resigned to London 2012 acting as her international swansong. Pressed further, she concedes that, "physically, I feel I could play on," and with coach Pia Sundhage reluctant to lose a player she has hailed as "the best captain I've ever had", leading USA onwards to Canada 2015 remains a distinct possibility. As the 37-year-old admitted: "If the call-up comes, it's hard to see me turning it down."
That, though, is a decision for another day. For now, Rampone and her colleagues are focused on an awkward opening match against a France side that pushed them all the way at the FIFA Women's World Cup Germany 2011™. "It couldn't be any tougher," acknowledged Rampone. "That semi-final was one of our most difficult games at the World Cup and from what I've seen, France have got even stronger since then. Then again, so have we, so it should be a great game."
With Glasgow hosting the Americans' first two Group G fixtures, Rampone has also been taking the opportunity to explore an unlikely connection to Scottish football. As the US skipper explained: "I found out last year that my great grandfather, William Dowie, played here professionally for Raith Rovers (currently in Scotland's second tier) for ten years. He emigrated to the US in the 1930s, but apparently he was a good goalkeeper and got the nickname 'The Octopus'.
"I won't get a chance to visit his team as they're based out on the east coast and we're out west here in Glasgow. But it's so cool to know I have a connection here, and I now have a signed jersey from the club and a little booklet with some old photos. It's all been so exciting to learn, and the people here in Scotland have given me such an amazing welcome. I'm really enjoying it here."

Most teens need between 8½ to more than 9 hours of sleep a night. If you get much more or much less, you may wake up feeling tired and unrefreshed. People who sleep too long also may have trouble falling asleep and wake up a lot during the night.
Some people who still feel tired after getting an adequate amount of sleep have sleep problems and don't realize it. Conditions such as sleep apnea, restless legs, or even depression can make it hard to get a good night's rest. Caffeine and some medications also can disrupt sleep patterns.
If you don't wake up feeling rested on most mornings, or think you might be depressed, it's a good idea to talk to your doctor.

Span eyeing Saturday return from concussion
MIAMI -- Nationals center fielder Denard Span continues to make progress in his recovery from a concussion and eyes a return on Saturday.
Span, who is currently on the seven-day disabled list, took swings before and during batting practice on Monday. Doctors checked on him afterward. He planned to do the same on Tuesday.
"I felt pretty good," Span said. "Today I feel even better. Feel better today so far than I did yesterday, so that's a good sign."
A decision was made by game's end that Span would fly ahead of the club to Washington on Wednesday morning for a checkup. The plan would call for him to play in a couple of rehab games leading up to Saturday.
Since colliding with Braves second baseman Dan Uggla while running the bases last Friday, Span has seen a chiropractor, who has adjusted his neck. He has also tried to rest as much as possible.
Span sustained a concussion in 2011 as a member of the Twins. He scored higher on Monday's test than he did during his baseline examination in 2008.
"It just shows how far along I've come since 2011 to now," Span said. "Even after having a collision like I did three days ago to be feeling as good as I am today. It just shows all the hard work I've done over the years to get to this point."

Facts and figures about UVic
A unique learning environment
The University of Victoria, one of Canada's leading universities, is a rich and supportive learning community for students and faculty alike.
Widely recognized for leadership in research, inspired teaching and community engagement, UVic provides innovative undergraduate and graduate programs and real-life learning experiences in a diverse and welcoming West Coast environment.
A top-ranked Canadian university
International perspectives drive teaching and research.
For the sixth consecutive year, the international Leiden university rankings have highlighted an indelible characteristic of the UVic campus—our global perspective. The data-driven rankings, produced by the Centre for Science and Technology Studies at Leiden University, consistently demonstrate that UVic researchers publish a higher proportion of research based on international collaboration than any other Canadian university. UVic also retains its place in the top one per cent of universities in the world and among the top-ranked in Canada for scientific impact.
Among the world's top universities
The 2016 Times Higher Education (THE) World University Rankings place UVic among the top 250 universities around the world. In addition, THE placed UVic at 175 on its January 2016 list of the world's 200 most international universities.
In early 2013—as UVic's 50th anniversary approached—THE also ranked UVic number 20 globally and first in Canada among universities less than 50 years old.
UVic has continually placed at or near the top of the comprehensive category in the annual university rankings by Maclean's, Canada's national news magazine.
World-class leadership in a broad mix of fields
The 2016 QS World University Rankings by Subject also recognize UVic's leadership in a broad mix of academic fields. UVic is identified in the top 200 institutions globally for research in five QS subject areas: English language and literature, earth and marine sciences, geography, law and philosophy.
The QS subject ranking studied nearly 3,000 of the world's top universities—approximately 15 per cent of all institutions—and ranked fewer than 700 of them for statistically significant subject-specific leadership.
UVic's remarkable strength across a full spectrum of disciplines is also notable. The university is ranked at world-class level in 35 of the 42 QS-identified subject areas.

Research that's changing lives
Researchers at the University of Victoria work on the cutting edge of knowledge, making major contributions in a wide range of fields from fuel cells and cancer cells to climate change and cultural change.
UVic is known for its research strengths in the arts and sciences and selected professions. Some areas of note are:
Our researchers
UVic researchers were awarded over $100 million in outside research grants and contracts in 2014/15.
UVic owns the world-leading Ocean Networks Canada (ONC) Observatory, comprising the VENUS coastal network and the NEPTUNE Canada ocean network. The observatory pioneers a new generation of ocean observation systems that use innovative engineering and the Internet to provide continuous, long-term monitoring of ocean processes and events, as they happen.
In February 2008, the BC government awarded $94.5 million to the University of Victoria to create, lead and host the Pacific Institute for Climate Solutions (PICS). A $90-million endowment – the largest single contribution to a university endowment in Canadian history – signals the BC government's long-term commitment to taking action on climate change.
Research Partnerships and Knowledge Mobilization links universities and colleges on Vancouver Island with researchers, government and community, transforming great ideas into commercially viable businesses.
UVic owns more technology transfer space than any other BC university. UVic-owned Vancouver Island Technology Park (VITP) is an economic powerhouse for the province of BC. The park generates $317 million in direct, indirect and induced revenue, and creates more than 2,000 local jobs. A highly acclaimed centre of academic and biotech excellence, VITP facilitates the local growth of high technology, which is already Victoria's number one industry, estimated yearly at $1.67 billion, surpassing Victoria's $1.19 billion tourism industry.
A vibrant community resource
Our Division of Continuing Studies offers hundreds of individual courses for personal and professional development, including 26 programs leading to a diploma or certificate. The division serves more than 16,000 students annually, and has a local economic impact of more than $30 million.
The University of Victoria Vikes athletic program has established itself as one of the most successful university athletic programs in Canada. Since the inception of the athletics program in 1968, UVic has won 72 Canadian university national championships, and individual competitors have won 272 individual medals at CIS championships. Of 53 CIS institutions, UVic is fourth overall in team championships.
UVic's Olympic tradition is unrivalled in Canadian university sport—161 Vikes athletes, coaches and alumni have represented Canada at the Olympic and Paralympic Games, and have won 37 gold, 22 silver, and 9 bronze medals in Olympic and Paralympic competition.
Honours and awards
47 current or former UVic faculty members have been elected fellows of the Royal Society of Canada, the nation's highest academic honour for career achievement.
UVic faculty members hold 36 coveted Canada Research Chairs. UVic instructors are also well-represented among the winners of acclaimed national 3M teaching awards.
Our Co-operative Education Program and our Peter B. Gustavson School of Business have both received Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada ScotiaBank Awards for Excellence in Internationalization.
UVic Law ranked No. 2 law school in the country in 2008 by Corporate Knights magazine, for the faculty's ongoing commitment to environmental law and sustainability issues.

One of Canada's top diversity employers
In 2016, UVic was also named one of Canada's Best Diversity Employers for the fifth year in a row. Nationally, 65 organizations were recognized for a range of initiatives that attract and retain employees from diverse communities. UVic was one of only seven universities included on the list, and the only organization in Victoria.
Total revenues (2014/15): $567 million. BC government 33%, tuition 25%, federal government 13%, sales 11%, donations 4%, investment income 10%, other 4%.
University endowment (March 2015): $394 million
Supporting student success
In 2014-15, UVic's operating budget provided $18.4 million in direct financial support to students, in addition to $3.6 million in awards funded from the UVic Foundation, another $2.6 million in other donor-sponsored scholarships and support, and $12.8 million in fellowships for sponsored research. In total, UVic distributed $37.4 million in student support.
History and traditions
The university celebrated its 50th anniversary during 2012-13, five decades after receiving degree-granting status in 1963. The origins of UVic, however, can be traced back to 1903 and the establishment of Victoria College, the university's predecessor institution.
The three martlets – footless heraldic birds – on the UVic shield refer to those on the crest of McGill University, with which Victoria College was originally affiliated.
The university mottoes, shown on the UVic Coat of Arms, are 'Let there be light' (in Hebrew) and 'A multitude of the wise is the health of the world' (in Latin).
The university colours are red, gold, and blue.
The university flag depicts three red martlets in a gold field above a blue field.

According to the AcrobaticsDDI skill you can use an Acrobatic Stunt to "somersault over an opponent", amongst other things . It gives a base DC of 15, and "the DM sets the DC based on the complexity of the stunt and the danger of the situation."
Rather than using a static DC for all opponents, I am thinking of using the enemy's reflex defense as the DC. Would this be a balanced DC that scales appropriately as the PCs and enemies level up? If not, what would be a better value to use?

First year of "farm AD" positions Maine as industry leader
Major benefits: renewable energy, cleaner environment and healthier family farm
MEDIA CONTACT: Sarah Wintle, email@example.com, 207-347-0483
(Exeter, Maine) In late December, the anaerobic digestion (AD) facility at Stonyvale Farm in Exeter marked its first full year in operation, and operators of the cutting edge technology say production data confirm the project is a solid success.
In the future, as a result, Maine could reap significant benefits in renewable energy, cleaner watersheds near dairy farms, landfill conservation, reduced methane pollution of the atmosphere and economic development that stabilizes and sustains family farms.
"We combined about 7.3 million gallons of cow manure with food waste in our first year, allowing us to produce 5.2 million kilowatt hours of electricity for the grid," said Adam Wintle, managing partner of Biogas Energy Partners,the development arm of Exeter Agri-Energy. "That's good in itself, but our 'secret recipe', so to speak, is what has the industry taking notice."
Wintle said the Maine project is the only one of its kind in New England that "co-digests" manure and food waste on a large scale. That presents Maine with a future opportunity to divert large amounts of food waste away from landfills and into energy production. He said the project has already created three full times jobs, and has allowed his family to begin considering future expansion of energy production and farm-associated ventures.
Andrew Landry, an attorney with Preti Flaherty in Augusta who advises the project on regulatory matters, said his firm's research confirms that the Maine-grown innovation in Exeter is among the best in the biogas industry.
"It is no exaggeration to say that the anaerobic digestion facility at Stonyvale Farm is the cutting edge industry leader," Landry said. "They've found the winning formula, and that's good news for economic development in Maine and the region."
Exeter Agri-Energy is a renewable energy company that converts animal and food waste into heat and electricity, and other environmentally responsible products. The anaerobic co-digestion system it built in 2011 is the most advanced and versatile of its kind in New England. For more information about the company, visit: www.ExeterAgriEnergy.com.

Every week at EBF I have the opportunity to meet 30 people all of different trades and professions and this gives me a broad outlook on what is happening outside of my consulting room.
To help build and cement relationships and to learn about members interests outside of their working environment, social events are held throughout the year culminating in the grand Christmas dinner.

Local grad to show work at Alfred University's senior art show
ALFRED – The Alfred University (AU) Interdisci-plinary Art (IART) Major welcomes viewers to attend the IART Senior Exhibition, highlighting the development of 10 artists who have been classmates and colleagues for the last four years.
"The Basement Show," opening with a public reception Friday from 5-8 p.m. in the Brick Studios Basement Gallery on campus, is a multimedia group exhibition featuring new work in drawing, sculpture, ceramics, painting, print, digital and neon installation, performance, and more.
The exhibition's open hours will continue Saturday and Sunday, May 10 and 11, from 3-6 p.m. and Monday and Tuesday, May 12 and 13 from noon-6 p.m.
The show will feature the work of Jennifer Anderson from Brooklyn; Tara Barone, Derby; Malone Barth, Rochester; Abbie Cianfrocco, Westmoreland; Katie Fortier, Westminster, MA; Mariam Hudson, Pittsburgh, PA; Trish Kaiser, Harrington Park; NJ; Danielle Mastropierro, northern New Jersey; Timothy Pauszek, Dunkirk; and Nora Peters, Pittsburgh.
The opening reception will feature refreshments and music by John Webber from Dunkirk. Webber has played in many bands with a variety of music styles from rock-and-roll to heavy-metal and fronts the local pop-punk band Living Saints.
Anderson, a mixed media, 2D artist, is presenting a series that uses new technologies to question the ambiguity of the term "fine art." Her GIFs (graphics interchange formats) and digital prints challenge the aesthetic of new and innovative Internet-friendly artwork.
Barone's mixed-media paintings, incorporating hair and fingernails, explore metaphysical aspects of the human body relating to chakra energies of the nonphysical self. Barone is concentrating her studies on art history and theory and has interned at Hallwalls Contemporary Arts Center, Buffalo as an archivist and at HEREarts Center, New York City as a preparatory and marketing assistant.
Barth creates drawings and collages of cartoon monsters that merge imagination with humor. Related is her interest in Street Art and how it fits into the museum/gallery tradition of the art world.
Cianfrocco will present a series of graphite drawings focusing on the moments of intensity when people act on their fearlessness. What propels these people to risk their lives to rescue another? The drawings gesture toward the transience of life through the delicacy of pencil on page.
Fortier is committed to a personal practice of yoga that has deepened her esteem for the human body and has significantly contributed to her art practice. Her work includes printmaking, drawing, neon, glass, and mixed-media sculpture. She is currently completing her NYS Certification in Art Education.
Hudson incorporates language in her ceramic sculptures and mixed-media installations, exposing the subtext of meaning and questioning the real function of the objects in our everyday lives.
Kaiser is an aspiring curator and gallerist and has both a background in art history and printmaking. As an artist, she draws inspiration from childhood memories, hard-core punk music, traditional tattoos, and the geographical locations with which she is familiar. Kaiser has been accepted into the master of science program in history of art & design at Pratt Institute, New York City.
Mastropierro's current work challenges assumptions about ceramic tile, presenting ideas of space, repetition, image, color, and texture.
Pauszek's hand-carved woodblock and screen prints explore the history and culture of Dunkirk, on the shores of Lake Erie, where he grew up, through cock-and-bull stories passed down from his father and grandfathers. This summer, Pauszek will be an intern on the printmaking product line at Gamblin Artist Colors, Portland, OR.
Peters, through a combination of academic research and sculptural investigation, is examining the relationship of late 18th century French women's clothing and the female form as it relates to women today.
The major in interdisciplinary art leading to a bachelor of arts degree in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at AU combines studio work in the arts with studies in art history, art theory, and cultural criticism. The program draws faculty from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and from the School of Art and Design in the College of Ceramics.
Interdisciplinary art majors develop technical and conceptual skills in the visual arts through studio work, while also learning how philosophical and historical perspectives can deepen and enrich the process and purposes of art-making.
The bachelor of arts degree program is distinguished from the bachelor of fine arts degree program in the School of Art and Design by its broad grounding in the general education program of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences leading to the major course of study with a concentration in visual arts, art history/theory, or performing arts/design.
Recent graduates, nationally and internationally, have opened their own studios, are working in museums, galleries, and design firms, are teaching art in secondary schools, and have entered graduate programs in the areas of studio art, art therapy, scenography, curatorial practice, and fine art conservation.


text: Red Bulls and NJ Youth Soccer Announce Extended Involvement in Club and Young Olympian Program Tweet HARRISON, N.J.

ProShares UltraShort FTSE China 50 seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to two times the inverse (-2x) of the daily performance of the FTSE China 50 Index®.
Because the value of the index is not computed as of the close of the U.S. securities markets due to differences in trading hours between U.S. and foreign markets, correlation to the index will be measured by comparing the daily change in the fund's net asset value per share to the performance of one or more U.S. exchange traded securities or instruments that reflect the values of the securities underlying the index as of the close of the U.S. securities markets.
This short ProShares ETF seeks a return that is -2x the return of its underlying benchmark (target) for a single day, as measured from one NAV calculation to the next. Due to the compounding of daily returns, ProShares' returns over periods other than one day will likely differ in amount and possibly direction from the target return for the same period. These effects may be more pronounced in funds with larger or inverse multiples and in funds with volatile benchmarks. Investors should monitor their holdings as frequently as daily. For more on risks, please read the prospectus.

Inuyasha is a well known Japanese anime show that began as a manga series by Rumiko Takahashi. Today, it is one of the most popular anime shows alongside Naruto, Rurouni Kenshin, Fruits Basket and Dragonball Z. The show is mainly set in the Sengoku Jidai, otherwise known as the 'feudal era', of Japan. There, demons and human live together- but not in harmony. There lies Inuyasha, a half dog demon who was born of the supreme ruler of feudal Japan, his father. His father died while saving Inuyasha when he was born, and, as per his father's will, Inuyasha comes to possess one the most powerful swords ever made: the Tetsusaiga. It belonged to his father and was made of a fang from his fathers mouth. It is known as 'the protector of men' and can slay 100 demons (humans alike) in one stroke. It is also known as the 'sword of the earth' and can lash out massive attacks such as 'Wind Scar', 'Backlash Wave' and 'Adamant Barrage.' If you're an avid fan of Inuyasha, like I am, you know tons more about the sword and how to came to be, but for now, I'm going to let you all start with the tutorial. I hope you all enjoy it and have fun! ^_^

Should I only optimize tags on my Web site's home page, or on other pages, too?
Definition and proper usage of Web page tags is a critical cog in the search engine optimization wheel. However, determining the most effective tags is by no means an exact science; but in general, the tags should reflect the site's main topic or message and also for the page itself, while at the same time mirror words or phrases that actual search engine might use. Tags should be used throughout the site: in page body, Title tag, Meta tags, headings, alt attributes, and link anchor.
When defining your tags, you must attempt to put yourself in the search engine user's position and try to imagine which words and phrases he/she is likely to use when searching for your particular type of website. A well-defined and wisely-used set of tags will encompass a fairly limited number of words or phrases actual Internet users might use to search for the site. In general, optimizing a Web page for more than two or three keywords is not feasible.
See Choosing the Best Keywords for your Website for more information.

A runner who once tipped the scale at 200 pounds in college finished his record-breaking run across the United States, crossing the finish line at City Hall on Monday night.
Financial analyst by day and ultra-athlete Pete Kostelnick's started running from San Francisco to New York City on Sept. 12. His time was 42 days, 6 hours and 30 minutes, beating the previous record of 46 days, 8 hours and 36 minutes set by Frank Giannino Jr. in 1980. Though many have tried, no one had succeeded in breaking the 36-year-old record until Kostelnick.
The runner is now awaiting confirmation from Guiness World Records for the record title of "Fastest Crossing of America on Foot (male)."
Kolstelnick first started running to lose weight and set a personal goal to complete a marathon. His father and future wife encouraged him as he trained to qualify for the Boston Marathon, which he did in 2009 and ran in 2010.
Running the Boston Marathon sparked a passion in Kostelnick and he went on to run 423 miles in seven days across Iowa, win the 2015 Badwater 135 and break the record at the 2016 STYR Labs Badwater 135 by running it in 21 hours, 56 minutes and 32 seconds.
Kostelnick's dreams didn't stop there, and he set out to accomplishing breaking the U.S. coast-to-coast running record.
Kostelnick ran an average of at least seventy-two miles per day during his 3,100 cross-country marathon, enduring storms and mountains. The runner wore two GPS watches at all times in case one broke and carefully documented his progress for Guinness.
To help him, a four-person support team traveled on the road, waking with Kostelnick between 3 a.m. and 3:30 a.m. to study the day's route and weather and handle nutrition, appropriate clothing and hydration.
Fans and fellow runners kept up with Kostelnick's well-documented journey and some even ran alongside him for legs of the route.
Kostelnick was sponsored by Hoka One One.

If you thought the Ford Mustang was a fine car, just not quite Italian enough, you'll probably get all weepy when the company unveils a new Giugiaro-designed concept car at the Los Angeles show. (That is, unless you think Lambo doors are just too Italian.) The design house smoothed out the Mustang's retro design, giving it a more modern, sleeker look — which some might assume hearkened the next-gen model, set for 2010. But Ford execs will likely say this is purely a styling exercise, not an augur of what's to come. The concept also gets the GT's 4.6-liter V8, supercharged and tweaked by Ford Racing to get in the range of 500 hp. We'll see more during the LA press preview days tomorrow and Thursday.
