@ 93 Feet East, Brick Lane, London, E1
Entry FREE
Doors 7:30pm
I Like Trains
I Like Trains hail from Leeds and offer the sort of fragile beauty that would melt the most frozen of hearts. The five piece melded together 18 months ago, summised by a love of music 'progressively English and glacially Icelandic. Live, the band offer natty British Rail outfits (eat your leaves, twigs and heart out, British Sea Power), and a selection of tastefully horrifying disaster movies via a clunking, aged projector. Vision and scope by way of Hope Of The States round the council house for tea.
Action Plan
Coruscating, driving rhythms, mixed with those all-important quiet bits, the BBC reckons 'They snarl, they spit and they bleed every ounce of rock n roll energy they possess into each live performance. If you're at the front, expect a sweat-filled rainshower to come your way. If you're at the back.........ah to hell with it, expect the same.' Comparisions go with the angular beauties currently filling the press pages of the music magazines.
The Miss High 5s
The Miss High 5s are all about hooks. The London four piece excel in the art of perfectly-formed melodic pop-rock, and have an uncanny way with a stellar chorus. They can play a bit too, and we draw comparisions to the likes of Ben Kweller, David Bowie and early Blur. Good, eh?
On top of that, we've got the next one at 93 Feet East sorted:

The carbon-based substance has largely remained the realm of the laboratory, but Cambridge is amongst those universities looking to help the amazing substance play a bigger role in industry. As part of its efforts, the school is set to start work on the Graphene Center at the beginning of next month, a facility that's set to "take graphene to the next level" when it opens shop by year's end, with the help of a £12 million ($19 million) grant. Scientists at the center will seek to harness the material to help create things like flexible, transparent electronics, networked devices and energy storage for electric cars. More information on the forthcoming recearch center can be found in the source link below.

I'm forever taking detours to switch them off, (especially at work) and everyone finds it hysterical that it bothers me so much
by TillyWhitlock » Mon Apr 13, 2009 6:04 am
I have multiple OCD moments. If I'm not paying attention to a song and then halfway through I realize it's like one of my favorites, I have to restart it. And every time I get interrupted I have to restart it. I've done this at least 7 times with Never Think when I first got the Soundtrack
I so do this too. I can be singing away with the music, but once I realise I was on auto pilot with it I have to restart the song or possibly the album

From be.
being was formerly used where we now use having. Being to go to a ball in a few days. .
in modern usage, is, are, was or were being, with a past participle following (as built, made, etc) indicates the process toward the completed result expressed by the participle. The form is or was building, in this passive signification, is idiomatic, and, if free from ambiguity, is commonly preferable to the modern is or was being built. The last form of speech is, however, sufficiently authorised by approved writers. The older expression was is, or was, a-building or in building. A man who is being strangled. (Lamb) While the article on burns was being written. (Froude) Fresh experience is always being gained. (Jowett (Thucyd))

It appears that Columbia has confirmed that Ghostbusters will be returning to theaters next month. For three Thursdays starting October 13th, the original masterpiece will be shown in 500 theaters across the country. As inexplicable as it sounds, this is a good thing.
First of all, thank GOD they're not pulling a Disney and doing it in 3D. You might even contend that the film could see new life in the 3rd dimension. But you'd be wrong. So very wrong.
No, the best thing about this movie coming back to theaters—other than being just a big cosplayer nerdgasm waiting to happen—is that it could bring Bill Murray back into the production of Ghostbusters 3. Murray is reportedly the last hold-out for the film being made... which is insane. How can you have Ghostbusters without Venkman? This limited release might be the push he needs to put the gear back on. [TG Daily]

The family law is said to be a uniform law that covers all aspects and issues that may have risen through blood line including marriages and divorce. It was from 1970s that family law started evolving at good speed. Before that, this law was based on European Feudalism. Before 20th century, it was a law that after marriage husband would be the owner for wife's all properties. In 1900s, there were major changes where there were judicial divorces rather than legislative ones. But after 1970s there were major subjects that came under this law and that was going to be there for longer period. It was by end of 1987 that there were no fault divorces being recognized. All states adopted this and divorce process was made much easier. There were some of the professional and traditional advocates who used to oppose this, as they thought new modes of divorces led couples to easily resort their marriages. They thought that as there were easier options in front of them, the couple did not give each other a chance to solve their personal issues without undergoing divorce process.
Child custody is yet another case that comes under family law. It started from onset of 20th century when law started changing to allow male custody and then it further lead to have joint custody. This law involves all matters that are related to status of family and the reputation of family too. Similarly there are other kinds of family laws that involve marriages, civil unions etc. A family law attorney tends to be a great help when you are fighting against any kind of family law. Each of the state has its own kind of laws that protects the demands of normal human beings. These type cases are some kinds of cases that need emotional handling and they needs to be dealt with very sensitively. It might need some kind of mediator or a good attorney who can actively get you out of this law related issues. When you look in to family law, you must make yourself sure with reasonable answering with any kind of question that may have been asked by you. Sometimes, it is better to let emotions guide your feelings. So you must let yourself do this.

Whether you're a longtime aficionado or have just a passing knowledge or curiosity about bonsai, "Bonsai: A Patient Art" will provide an extraordinary look at this ancient practice.
Published by the Chicago Botanic Garden, home to a world-class bonsai collection, in conjunction with Yale University Press, "Bonsai" does a beautiful job of not only explaining the basic principles and techniques, but of illustrating them, using more than 60 examples from the Botanic Garden's collection.
Bonsai are normal trees and shrubs that have been trained to grow into particular shapes, in pots. The practice, with origins in China more than 3,000 years ago, is as much spiritual as horticultural. The trees are created and maintained for aesthetic purposes and to tell a story.
This piece first ran in Printers Row Journal, delivered to Printers Row members with the Sunday Chicago Tribune and by digital edition via email. Click here to learn about joining Printers Row.
The Garden features more than 200 bonsai trees, many a century old, making its collection the fruit of a collaborative effort. The same can be said of the book. Heading the project was consulting curator Susumu Nakamura, who has served as director of education for the Nippon Bonsai Association and director of Bonsai Clubs International.
As he explains, "Unlike other arts that express through shape and color, bonsai involves living things, always growing and changing. ... Bonsai hone our awareness of the bittersweet beauty and impermanence of life and encourage humble acceptance of change and the passage of time."
Others involved in the book include Ivan Watters, curator at the Garden and a bonsai master; editor Terry Ann R. Neff; and photographer Tim Priest.
The book opens with an essay that explains the philosophy of bonsai, and, using examples from the Garden's collection, shows the five essential styles: formal upright, informal upright, slanting, semicascade and cascade. (There are more than 100 recognized styles in all.)
Then follows the individual bonsai from the garden. Each is beautifully photographed and comes with its own profile — style, age and size are all listed, along with an explanation of the plant. In all, it's a most enjoyable presentation.
William Hageman is a Chicago Tribune lifestyles reporter.

* Human rights groups say trial "politically motivated"
* U.N. concerned over treatment of alleged victim, reporter
* Somali journalists say media freedom under attack
By Abdi Sheikh and Feisal Omar
MOGADISHU, Feb 2 (Reuters) - A woman who said she was raped
by Somali soldiers and a journalist who interviewed her went on
trial on Saturday in a case that has sparked international
concerns over sexual violence and press freedom in the country.
The woman, her husband and journalist Abdiaziz Abdinur face
charges including insulting a government body, making false
accusations, and seeking to profit from the allegations. Neither
the 27-year-old woman nor her husband have been named.
The trial has brought criticism from the United States,
which only last month officially recognised the Somali
government in Mogadishu for the first time in 20 years. Human
rights groups and the U.N. have also expressed concerns over
treatment of victims of rape and over press freedom.
"The world is watching, and this is a litmus test of the
future Somalia," U.S. State Department spokeswoman Victoria
Nuland told reporters, voicing "deep concerns" about protection
of sexual violence victims in Somalia.
The trial, which began on Saturday but was immediately
adjourned until Tuesday, comes at an awkward time for new
President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, who is touring Europe and
courting international donors to help rebuild Somalia.
Only in September, observers heralded peaceful presidential
elections, the first since military dictator Mohamed Siad Barre
was overthrown by warlords in 1991, as the dawn of a new era for
Somalia.. The Horn of Africa state has been
plagued by civil war, anarchy and Islamist insurgencies.
The woman, who said she was gang-raped by soldiers last
year, was arrested on Jan. 10 and released after two days of
interrogation, with the police saying she admitted fabricating
the story. Abdinur, who was arrested the same day, remains in
custody. They both face prison terms of several years.
Local media subsequently reported the woman as saying police
pressured her into retracting her allegations. The woman's
husband was later arrested for corroborating she was raped.
Neither the woman nor Abdinur were given access to legal
counsel until just before the trial was due to start, according
to human rights groups.
U.S.-based Human Rights Watch (HRW) and Amnesty
International have called for the charges to be dropped.
"The police investigation in this case was a politically
motivated attempt to blame and silence those who report on the
pervasive problem of sexual violence by Somali security forces,"
said Daniel Bekele, Africa director for HRW.
Abdinur, a freelance reporter, was working for Ergo radio
when he interviewed the woman, although it was never broadcast.
Police also say he assisted Al Jazeera with a Jan 6., article
about rape by security forces in Mogadishu camps for internally
displaced people. Al Jazeera denies Abdinur was involved.
The United Nations Political Office for Somalia (UNPOS)
issued a statement on Friday saying it was concerned about the
way the case was handled leading up to the trial.
A Somali government spokesman was unavailable for comment
but the U.N. said Foreign Minister Fozia Yusuf Haji Aden
reassured officials the trial would be conducted with respect
for international human rights law.
The U.N.'s Special Representative of the Secretary-General
on Sexual Violence in Conflict, Zainab Hawa Bangura, condemned
the arrests and called for the Somali government to deal with
the country's rape problems.
"In Somalia there is a culture of denial, silence and stigma
when it comes to rape, so people are afraid to talk about it,"
Bangura told Reuters.
Bangura said the U.N. had evidence 1700 Somali women had
been raped in camps for internally displaced people in the
Mogadishu area between January and November last year, with the
majority of perpetrators reportedly wearing uniforms.
"We depend on journalists to help us deal with this so it's
a huge problem if they are afraid to talk to victims," she said.
Somali journalists have voiced concern freedom of speech and
the right to report freely is being stifled.
"We fear that the media freedom is being threatened and
journalists in the future will not have the courage to cover
these types of stories," Mohamed Ibrahim, secretary general of
the National Union of Somali Journalists, told Reuters.
The trial was adjourned until Tuesday after the judge asked
the attorney general to provide more witness testimony.

Story highlights
Thatcher's spokeswoman says she had a growth in her bladder removed
She is expected to be kept in the hospital overnight and is "absolutely fine"
Thatcher, 87, was Britain's only female prime minister and held office from 1979 to 1990
Former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher "has undergone surgery to remove a growth in her bladder" and is currently recovering in the hospital, her spokeswoman, Gillian Penrose, said Friday.
Thatcher, 87, is doing "absolutely fine" after the operation, her spokeswoman said. She was admitted to the hospital Thursday and is expected to be kept overnight.
Britain's only female prime minister, Thatcher served from 1979 to 1990 as leader of the Conservative Party. She was called the "Iron Lady" for her personal and political toughness.
She enjoyed a close friendship and working relationship with the late U.S. President Ronald Reagan, with whom she shared similar conservative views.
Thatcher retired from public life after a stroke in 2002 and suffered several strokes after that.
She makes few public appearances. Thatcher missed a reception in honor of her 85th birthday hosted by Prime Minister David Cameron in October 2010 and skipped the unveiling of a statue of Reagan in London in July last year.
Per Nyberg reported from London. Melissa Gray reported from Atlanta.

SC State edges Md-Eastern Shore 78-71
ORANGEBURG, S.C. (AP) — Matthew Hezekiah scored 16 points and had 10 rebounds to lead South Carolina State to a 78-71 victory in its conference opener over University of Maryland-Eastern Shore on Wednesday night.
SC State (5-9, 1-0 Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference) opened up a 17-point lead in the first half on a pair of Jalen White free throws that made it 37-20 with 2:44 left but UMES shaved the advantage to 40-30 at the intermission. The Bulldogs were outscored 41-38 in the second half but held on for the win.
White and Adama Adams contributed 14 points each and Karon Wright had 11 for the Bulldogs, who shot 55 percent from the field and were 7 of 14 from 3-point range.
UMES (2-12, 0-2) pulled to within five late in the second half, 57-52, but couldn't close the gap.
Hakeem Baxter led the Hawks with 23 points and KyRee Jones had 20.

PROVOCATION indeed. Conspiracy. Manipulation. Fraud. Stealing, Lying, Greed, etc.
The Immigration Prostitute Martha Laura Granados DOB 11/14/1966.
The Immigration Prostitute Martha Laura Granados DOB 11/14/1966
The Immigration Prostitute Martha Laura Granados DOB 11/14/1966
This is story of Martha Laura Granados, an immigrant woman from Saltillo, Coahuila, Mexico who abused the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) by pretending to be in love with an American Legal Resident. Martha prostituted herself to him for three years, deceiving him, making him believe her intentions were honest until he married her. She then falsely accused him of Domestic Violence and Rape in order to get to a VAWA funded shelter and file a VAWA self petition to obtain a Green Card.
Martha is now enjoying a vast number of social benefits all paid for by the US tax payer which include free housing, certification, employment, paid relocation and free education for her sons.
…and an express immigration proceedings for a Green Card and US Citizenship for herself, her sons and her relatives.
There is a law in this country (The Violence Against Women Act – VAWA) that provides motives and incentives for an immigrant woman (man) to prostitute herself (himself), lie, deceive and abuse an American citizen in order to convince him (her) to marry her (him), and then VAWA provides motives and incentives for her (him) to falsely accuse the innocent American citizen of Domestic Violence, rape and abuse.
The VAWA immigration loop-hole:
The formula is simple: Pretend you're in love with an American citizen or a Legal resident, get them to marry you, then, a few months later start making unsupported accusations of abuse. The accusations will stick, even if completely unsupported by facts. In no time they're on the path to permanent residency and with plenty of help from US taxpayers. The innocent US spouse often pays a heavy price in terms of psychological distress, legal bills, damage to reputation, and in many cases even a criminal record.
Hay una ley de este país (EE.UU – La Ley de Violencia contra la Mujer – VAWA), que proporciona motivos y incentivos para una mujer inmigrante a prostituirse, mentir, engañar y abusar de un ciudadano estadounidense con el fin de engañarlo para que se casara con ella, y luego esa misma ley proporciona los motivos y los incentivos para que ella acuse falsamente al ciudadano inocentes de violencia doméstica, violación o abuso con el fin de lograr la residencia permanente en los EE.UU.
La fórmula es simple: Finge que está enamorada de un residente legal estadounidense, haga que se case con usted, entonces, unos meses más tarde empiece a hacer acusaciones sin fundamento de Violencia Domestica. Las acusaciones se adhieren, aunque estén falsas. Usted estará en el camino hacia la residencia permanente y con mucha ayuda de los contribuyentes de impuestos de los EE.UU. Su víctima inocente a pagará un alto precio en términos de sufrimiento psíquico, gastos legales, daños a la reputación, y en muchos casos incluso un registro de antecedentes penales.
Martha's Story:
My name is Martha Laura Granados. I was born in Saltillo, Coahuila, Mexico on November 14, 1966. My mother, Andrea is a tough and difficult women and during my childhood with her I developed personality traits known as Narcissistic Personality Disorder or NPD.
During my early 20's while I was attending College studying psychology, I got involved with a man a few years younger than me and I became pregnant. Obliged by Mexican customs we were soon married which was the beginning of a horribly abusive 17 years long marriage.
I had three sons with this man and in the early 2000's he was offered a job in Lawrenceville, GA, USA and we all moved. We ended up in a house that was only in his name. Our relationship continued to be reciprocally abusive.
In 2005 I found out that he had been cheating on me and I began to provoke him. My provocations lasted some months and he finally lost his temper and hit me. I asked my son to call the police which he did, and my husband got arrested.
After my husband's arrest I filed for a Temporary Protective Order so that I could stay in his house with my sons and use his SUV.
He then filed for divorce.
I knew that when the divorce would become final I would have to leave his house. I had no place to go and I didn't have legal papers to stay in the US.
I discussed my situation with my friends Jacqueline and Abrahan Bauza from Venezuela and a plan came together: I would pretend to be in love with a Legal Resident. I would move in with him. I would deceive him so that he would marry me. Then I would falsely accuse him of Domestic Violence and get into a VAWA shelter. The shelter would help me file a VAWA self-petition for a US Green Card. We would then exploit the US social system paid for by the US tax payer by pretending to be Domestic Violence victims. My sons and I would have the Green Card in no time!
I signed up on the dating site Univision Amor & Amigoshttp://match.univision.com/
with the screen name April6914. My plan was to start dating American Citizens or Legal Residents. I would pretend to be in love with him. I would move in with him. I would deceive so that he would marry me. Then I would falsely accuse him of Domestic Violence and get into a VAWA-shelter. The shelter would help me file a VAWA self-petition for a US Green Card. We (my sons and I) would then pretend to be Domestic Violence victims and exploit the US social system paid for by the US tax payer. My sons and I will have the Green Card in no time!
After going out with a few victim-candidates that frankly were too disgusting for me to get involved with I finally met Al, an engineer/musician, a quiet, easy-going guy who said he was looking to start a new family. I played the victim role and repeatedly told him I had been abused. I made sure he knew I was interested in him. I called him several times a day and I wrote hundreds of emails to convince him that I am a woman with great values and that I too was looking to start a new family. In order for him to not suspect anything I repeatedly said that I didn't mind going back to Mexico if things didn't work out.
In the beginning of 2006 my divorce became final and I moved in with Al. Al took care of everything: Bills, food and all the expenses, schools for my sons and our medical expenses. I continued my act of a woman in love. I also put a lot of efforts into playing the role of the perfect house-wife.
However, acting around the clock is not easy and I started having stomach issues. Again Al took care of everything. Al took me to doctors. Al took me to the emergency room several times. Al got me to a hospital and stayed by my bed before and after the surgery.
Then I broke my leg… and again Al took care of everything. Then I wanted a couple of cosmetic surgeries… again Al took care of everything including the cost.
… and all the while I kept playing the role of a victim, acting as being in love with Al and playing the role of a perfect house-wife.
I pretended to be in love with Al for three whole years. I repeatedly told Al that I dreamed of being his wife. In return Al treated me like a real wife and took excellent care of me and my sons.
At the end of 2008, having known Al for three years I begged him to marry me. My oldest son had gone back to Mexico and I insisted that I needed to visit him there, and for that I would need legal papers. Al, being the good man he is agreed, but not without a pre-nuptial agreement.
I was upset about the pre-nuptial agreement because it would mean I that would not have any rights to any of his assets, but my main goal was to get the Green Card for myself and my sons. At the end of August 2008 we got married.
I immediately started to provoke him. He said he wasn't happy being married to me but he promised he would not file for divorce, at least not yet. I had to move quickly. I threatened him and told him that if he wouldn't file a petition for a Green Card for me and my sons I would have him arrested. He made me promise that I would not involve the authorities and filed the Green Card petitions for me and my sons.
I knew that our conditional Green Cards were on the way. I waited until we were married for exactly three months and I took my sons and got to the police station. I filed the first complaint against Al. The police drove me back to Al's house.
I couple of days later Al filed for divorce. I was served with the divorce papers by the sheriff. I immediately contacted a lawyer. The lawyer explained to me that my only – and best – option was to falsely accuse Al of Domestic Violence.
I began looking for a VAWA funded Domestic Violence shelter. The first couple of shelters I contacted refused to accept me because there had been no physical violence between Al and me.
I finally got in touch with the VAWA service center: The International Women's House, P.O. Box 1327 Decatur, Georgia 30031 Phone: 770-413-5557 Fax: 678-476-6804 eMail: [email protected]
I was then coached by their employee Laura Mora. She told me exactly what I needed to do.
I went back to Al's house. Then when Al tried to talk to me I told my son to call the police which he did. When the police came to the house I told my son to tell the policeman that Al had called me "stupid". The policeman wrote it down in the report but he also said that if I called again he would arrest me.
Next I got a hold of the police report and showed it to Laura Mora of the VAWA shelter. She said it was all the proof she needed and admitted me to the shelter. On December 19, 2008 I moved to the shelter driving Al's SUV.
On December 31, 2008 my sons and I visited my sister and my brother-in law for New Years Eve. Some time later Al arrived to get his SUV back. Al brought a bottle of wine with him which he put on the table and said "Happy New Year!"
I immediately started provoking him again hoping to instigate a violent scene, but Al simply left the house. Al got into his SUV using a spare key and drove it away. I was left without a vehicle which made me really upset. After discussing my situation with Laura Mora and others at the shelter, with the help of a pro-bono attorney at the shelter I filed a petition for a Temporary Protective Order against Al, (falsely) accusing him of Domestic Violence, Rape and Attempted Murder and requesting Al's SUV. I got the Ex-Parte signed by the judge but I still didn't get the SUV.
At the court hearing the Judge knew I was lying and dismissed my TPO petition. I had to return the SUV keys to AL.
Even though the Judge determined that my accusations were all lies it didn't make any difference: The shelter helped me get a professional certification, employment, cash assistance for relocation to the west coast – where we are now receiving many social benefits including free housing and college education… and an express immigration process to obtain a Green Card and US citizenship, all paid for by the US tax payer.

Well, I have tried the cyan filter for several weeks. It is definitely brighter. I just put back in the blue filter. It is not as bright but bright enough and it looks so cool. I favor the less bright blue filter. Any filter is better than none.
I purchased a 2X20 display from eBay that came with a blue filter bonded to the glass. It works fine as a 2X16 display with 4 digits on the end not functioning. An escutcheon will fix that and only show the active digits. It was only $20.

There are some concerns with the new team playing their games in the crown jewel of baseball, namely the notion that the pitcher's mound has to be removed, stored, and brought back after these games.
The first complaint from a Yankee pitcher that the mound, which will be fork-lifted off the field and then brought back, is not holding the dirt properly and there will be issues.
The NYFC may be calling Yankee Stadium home after making all kinds of arrangements with the Yankees, but there is an opportunity for policy makers to push for this team to eventually relocate to either Brooklyn or Queens.
Or maybe the NYFC will stay in the Bronx, which would actually be a nice fit with the soccer-loving population up there, but that is not a definite for now.
Soccer is emerging professionally, and the outer-boroughs are perfectly suited to absorb the diverse fan-base of professional soccer.
Right now is the time for local politicians to start thinking about where this team is ultimately going to land. It is not often that a new professional sports franchise makes its debut in New York City, but this could be the start of something good.
People will say that professional soccer does not resonate with Americans. There is just too little scoring. But this is a different city from the days when the New York Cosmos were trying to make a go of it. The NYFC means jobs for people and even the better if those jobs are in Queens or Brooklyn.
Newark's Mayoral Race
The race for mayor of Newark was never a big deal outside of Newark, New Jersey.
The city had the same mayor in Sharpe James for eons. But since Corey Booker was elected and became a national figure, the job has a new spotlight.
Councilman Ras Baraka and attorney Shavar Jeffries are squaring off on what is really a local position with some national attention. Despite Booker's popularity, Newark still needs a lot of attention.
Baraka is strongly supported by the Working Families Party, which may allow him to run to the left of Jeffries in a city that leans that way. One poll has Baraka far ahead of Jeffries, but that was sponsored by one of the parties, so it could be considered a "push poll."
Residents in Newark know that their city has not enjoyed the renaissance that Jersey City has in recent years. Can either of these candidates push Newark in that direction? There is no bonafide free market campaign to emerge so far.
Newark needs the type of leadership that Bret Schundler brought to Jersey City decades ago. The election is this May and hopefully Newark is on the verge of something. The city already has the New Jersey Devils and an independent minor league baseball team. Now it needs to build up its middle class with other economic efforts.

Honors and Scholars Program
Rewarding You for Excellence
Scholarship. Leadership. Service.
Since the introduction of the Wesleyan Scholars program in 1985 and its expansion in 1995, the Honors and Scholars Program at Virginia Wesleyan University has been encouraging campus-wide scholarship. The Honors and Scholars Program encourages academic excellence and ensures that, once here, our best students have an intellectually enriching and challenging experience. The program is open to all Virginia Wesleyan students who qualify.
The Honors and Scholars program offers many benefits, both to participating students and to the University as a whole. The program allows honors students to go beyond the usual disciplinary boundaries of a subject, to develop individualized approaches to existing classes, and to increase one-on-one interaction with professors. Honor and Scholars students also receive benefits for participating in the program, such as priority housing in East Hall, priority registration, co-curricular events and opportunities. It also benefits the Virginia Wesleyan community as a whole, by creating a greater awareness of scholarly achievement on campus, providing a model of honor within the community, sponsoring programs that raise the level of intellectual engagement and discourse on campus, and offering professors the chance to develop courses that will excite them as much as they do the students. Read more about Virginia Wesleyan scholars in Intellectual Inquirer.
Goals of the Honors and Scholars Program
- To enhance and make more visible the idea of Virginia Wesleyan as a community of scholars
- To reward academic excellence on our campus
- To provide a model of honor within the campus society

OSF HealthCare has been selected as one of 100 Accountable Care Organizations to Know by Becker's Hospital Review. The listing, released today online, applauds health care organizations for their efforts to significantly improve quality of care, care management, patient satisfaction, and cost savings.
OSF HealthCare created an ACO under the CMS Pioneer model in 2011 and landed its first commercial accountable care agreement with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois for 40,000 beneficiaries in 2013. The ACO earned the fifth highest quality score — 90.3 percent — among Pioneer ACOs in 2014. OSF Healthcare System ACO transitioned into a CMS Next Generation ACO in 2016, one of only 18 initially in the country.
"We are excited to have received this distinction as an Accountable Care Organization to Know because it means we're making progress in our goal to transform the way health care is delivered in our communities," said Randy Billings, Senior Vice President of Managed Care and ACO for OSF HealthCare.
"Since 2011, we have been able to drive significant improvements for those we serve by connecting our full network of health and wellness services to help each person live healthier, fuller lives. We intend to keep this momentum going and extend our Ministry where value-based care touches even the most vulnerable patient populations."
ACOs cover approximately 28.3 million lives, according to January 2016 data from Leavitt Partners. This is the fifth year Becker's Hospital Review has published its list of ACOs to know.
ACOs were selected for inclusion based on a number of factors, including quality and cost performance, participation in CMS' Next Generation Model, the Pioneer Model, advanced tracks of the Medicare Shared Savings Program and if it has recently struck new commercial agreements. ACOs are presented in alphabetical order and are either listed by formal name of the ACO or, if the organization has several contracts, by name of the health system or provider group associated with those ACOs.

Why, here at DiS we do love a bit of nostalgia. Our memories are littered with references to old Idlewild albums, and thinking wrestling was real. No? Just me then?
Anyway, imagine my personal joy when news reaches me that reformed sugar-metallers Midget (pictured) are to release new material as part of a mini-compilation this February. 'My Infatuation' will form part of Alcopop!'s Alcopopular! Vol 1 compilation, which also features the likes of Ooberman and Popular Workshop.
Alcopopular! Vol 1 will be available both as the third part of the Alcopop! Singles Club at the end of January (for subscribers only though, obviously), and as a standalone release at the end of February. Available on mini 3" CD and at a rumoured price of only £3, the tracklisting is:
Midget - 'My Infatuation'
Family Machine - 'Ko Tao'
Popular Workshop - 'Sunday Morning 10am'
Beauty Skool Dropout - 'What's This Song'
Ooberman - 'Crashing Ellipticals'
Foxes - '6 o' clock'
It would also be quite remiss of us not to remind you of the next Alcopop! gig night:
Alcopop #3
Monday, 29th January
Dave House + Simply Luke Leighfield + more TBA
The Social, London W1
£5 advance from WeGotTickets, £3 for singles club subscribers
You can subscribe to the singles club by visiting this website here.
Meanwhile, former Symposium bassmaster Wojtek Godzisz is set to release his debut six-track solo EP for Tigertrap on February 5th. Expect a full review in the coming weeks, once I've stopped spinning around with glee, sat down and starting writing it. Joy.

Donald Trump announces at the outset that the country is hurting and opts to walk instead of getting into his trademark limo. It's one of those small gestures that remind the average guy just how obnoxious the ubiquitous mogul is, which is also oddly part of his charm. (Too bad the same panache didn't pass to his kids, Ivanka and Donald Jr., who flank him as boardroom judges.)
As usual, the 14 participants test the boundaries of the word "celebrity," mixing in athletes (Michael Johnson, Summer Sanders, Darryl Strawberry), wrestlers (Bill Goldberg, Maria Kanellis), comics (Carol Leifer, Sinbad), rockers (Cyndi Lauper, Bret Michaels), and a little eye candy (actress Holly Robinson Peete, Victoria's Secret model Selita Ebanks).
They're playing for charity, but of course, the game within the game is whether the process can jump-start somebody's career — or in one case, make them more sympathetic on appeal. On the plus side, at least nobody's as pathetic in this premiere as Andrew "Dice" Clay was in a previous edition.
The challenge includes having the gender-divided teams operate competing burger joints, trying to raise as much money as possible. And in one of those just-because moments, Trump calls Joan Rivers — who (ta-da!) happens to be with a camera crew when her phone rings — to help vet the two sides.
It's all moderately entertaining for those willing to check their brain at the door, but so drawn out at two hours as to become numbing and repetitive. That's especially true of the boardroom — once the show's signature element — where the "Who should I fire?" hand-wringing drags on for more than a half-hour.
"The Apprentice" originally struck a nerve not only with its colorful mix of "characters" and Trump's ego-driven bluster but the play-along element of contemplating how to operate and survive in the corporate jungle. Now, it's just another exhibitionist platform for the notorious, barely known and pseudo-famous.
The bottom line is that NBC doesn't presently have the luxury of saying "You're fired" to a longtime employee still imbued with modest selling power, even if its "Apprentice," at this point, is pretty much phoning it in.

20:02:46 <zzz> Is the jisko op here?
20:03:35 <zzz> any comments on the jisko submission?
20:03:44 <topiltzin> +1
20:03:54 <eche|on2> add it.
20:04:28 <zzz> any objections?
20:07:05 <str4d> hi
20:07:11 <str4d> No objections here
20:07:13 <zzz> great, even jisko's competitor does not object...
20:07:13 <str4d> It's a good alternative to id3nt (which I need to spend some time on sometime)
20:07:13 <str4d> Hey, the more the merrier
20:07:13 <zzz> indeed. I'll add it to mtn
20:07:13 <str4d> Then if I go down, there are alternatives
20:07:13 <zzz> 2) i2pjump.i2p addition http://zzz.i2p/topics/1539
20:07:33 <zzz> I see tuna is not here but he claims he got all the tests to pass
20:07:41 <zzz> and he posted his code
20:07:46 <zzz> any objections?
20:07:54 <zzz> or comments?
20:08:22 <eche|on2> no objections so far
20:09:17 <zzz> there's this guy emailing grothoff saying he was "inspired" by the jump code
20:10:25 <zzz> hearing no objections, I'll ask tuna to add it to mtn since he has privs
20:10:31 <zzz> 3) Host release files on i2p.no http://zzz.i2p/topics/1390
20:10:39 <zzz> Meeh, are you here?
20:11:06 <zzz> we discussed at CCC, he said he almost certainly had the bandwidth
20:11:22 <zzz> are there any reasonable alternatives?
20:11:28 <zzz> google drive seems a little tacky
20:11:30 <zzz> thoughts?
20:11:50 <eche|on2> google drive is a bit ugly, right
20:12:08 <eche|on2> but it is quite hard to block.
20:12:23 <eche|on2> I would run a download host and a copy in google drive
20:12:36 <eche|on2> or somewhere else like Mega, Sharehosts,...
20:12:56 <zzz> str4d, what's the state of the pick-your-mirror code in the website?
20:13:51 <str4d> zzz: mirrors get added in a backend file, and are used to generate the file-specific list.
20:15:16 <zzz> oh, I forgot about the 'select alternate link'
20:15:19 <str4d> Path urls can contain the version if desired (so files can be organized on the server by version)
20:15:31 <str4d> The default is set in the backend code
20:16:05 <zzz> would 'alternate download locations' be better than 'select alternate link' ?
20:16:07 <zzz> or 'view mirror list'
20:16:27 <zzz> thats really nice I forgot that we worked on that a lot
20:17:08 <str4d> 'Any mirror' pick a mirror at random from the list.
20:17:08 <Meeh> zzz: here now!
20:17:15 <zzz> any objections to Meeh being the primary download location?
20:17:23 <Meeh> i2p.nu *
20:17:25 <Meeh> or i2p2.no
20:17:39 <zzz> oh it's not i2p.no?
20:17:40 <eche|on2> currently not, as long as it is not the only one
20:17:48 <Meeh> no sorry, I got i2p.nu, and i2p2.no
20:18:11 <Meeh> add "facebook" as a point on the meeting for me, got some nice news
20:18:41 <zzz> ok FB will be 5)
20:19:01 <eche|on2> the bad word...
20:19:12 <eche|on2> I just need to cough... *sorry*
20:20:03 <zzz> looks like you are already in the mirror list as download.i2p2.no, is that working?
20:20:07 <zzz> if you want to add i2p.nu also, fine, more the merrier, as long as you are around at update time, or somebody else has the password
20:20:41 <zzz> you can work with str4d on the urls?
20:21:19 <Meeh> yepp
20:21:34 <zzz> any other comments?
20:22:02 <Meeh> I need to check where download.i2p2.no points, might need to change it to another host, need to check I/O. and I can provide more urls if needed. other than that; no :)
20:22:38 <zzz> ok you have a couple weeks before the next release but better sooner than later to get everything right
20:22:48 <str4d> No comments from me
20:22:50 <Meeh> I got the domains, I say we can use it as you guys wish, meaning, just give me instructions on how you want it :P
20:23:14 <kytv> +1 for everything so far (and I'll be happy to continue to handle the uploading of the download files)
20:23:18 <DarkestMatter> I'm tinkering with Makefile.gcj, and I've ran into a snag brought on by my relative naivety of java & gcj. I'm getting a java.lang.NullPointerException brought on by missing jar.so's like ant-1.8.2.jar.so, which exist in a dir outside of $JAVA_HOME, and I'm guessing that that's the problem
20:23:26 <zzz> you and str4d can work the details if needed
20:23:42 <zzz> DarkestMatter, we are in the middle of a meeting if you would please wait about half an hour
20:23:45 <DarkestMatter> Where would I need to symlink the ACTUAL dir into under JAVA_HOME for the build process to find them?
20:24:06 <zzz> next on the agenda:
20:24:06 <zzz> 4) OpenITP audit manager http://zzz.i2p/topics/1533 post #4
20:24:29 <zzz> background: OpenITP is about to open up their submission process
20:24:38 <zzz> we need somebody in charge
20:24:56 <zzz> They said we should apply even if we aren't ready
20:24:59 <zzz> which we arent
20:25:28 <zzz> I've posted a 3-phase process in the post above
20:25:45 <zzz> where we submit, then get ready, then really submit and manage the audit
20:26:05 <zzz> at CCC we agreed fixing up the threat model is the most important
20:26:31 <zzz> Comments? Does anybody want to be in charge?
20:28:10 <str4d> The general plan looks sound.
20:29:48 <zzz> Suspecting that we would not have any volunteers, I discussed it with Brandon WIley, asking if we could pay him to do it. (He is currently consulting for zooko, whose company does audits). Thoughts?
20:30:05 <topiltzin> how much?
20:31:03 <str4d> I am happy to contribute to the audit, but will likely not have the time to manage it myself.
20:32:26 <zzz> I assume several thousand dollars at least
20:32:26 <zzz> much higher if we actually get audited although that probably wouldn't be until 2015
20:32:29 <topiltzin> it's probably better for an external party to do it even if it costs a few k
20:32:29 <str4d> If we pay him, we want to ensure that it is useful.
20:32:53 <user> that would incluse exactly what?
20:32:54 <topiltzin> if he's doing this for a living he is (most probably) going to do a better job than anyone of us
20:33:49 <user> ++1 external, and ++1 if it helps getting a better standing, review-wise
20:34:06 <zzz> I would want him to actually help us fix stuff, not just be a traditional "consultant" or preauditor who just points out problems
20:34:27 <zzz> Brandon is a busy guy but also a guy currently looking for money
20:34:56 <user> and would he help you fix?
20:34:58 <zzz> If you havent' seen it: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/brandonwiley/operator-a-news-reader-that-circumvents-internet-c
20:35:52 <zzz> I asked him to look at our openitp audit page on trac
20:36:07 <zzz> http://trac.i2p2.i2p/wiki/OpenITPReview/Criteria
20:36:19 <zzz> and await openitp's announcement and submission process details
20:36:26 <str4d> I2P has never (to my knowledge) had a proper security expert. I think paying for one to get the groundwork for this right is a good idea (and probably long overdue).
20:36:27 <user> my opnion as an outsieder / user only, is that a few thousand $ should be ok, as long as it's <10k and not just some makeup, but really thorough
20:36:42 <zzz> until that's published it's not worth getting into negotiations with him
20:36:53 <zzz> but Eleanor said any day...
20:37:51 <zzz> eche|on, what's our balance? ~$500K?
20:38:00 <wowa> If you want that I change topic of http://zzz.i2p/topics/1546?
20:38:31 <zzz> wowa, we are in the middle of a meeting, please wait until we are done, thx
20:38:36 <eche|on2> zzz: roughly 500 BTC and 50k €
20:39:37 <zzz> sounds like people are positive about the idea. Sadly even if we hire him to be in charge, we need to find somebody to be in charge of him...
20:39:40 <EinMByte> Moin
20:42:42 <zzz> I don't think there's anything more to do until the OpenITP announcement, then we can ask if Brandon is interested, if so we will have to talk about again
20:42:49 <zzz> any other comments on 4)
20:42:49 <EinMByte> Did I miss the meeting?
20:42:49 <str4d> EinMByte: in progress
20:42:49 <user> Ein: Just the beginning
20:42:49 <eche|on2> ok, 493 BTC and 48k euro
20:42:49 <EinMByte> oh, okay
20:42:49 <zzz> last call on 4)
20:42:49 <str4d> No comments at this time.
20:42:49 <str4d> Other than, planning should start on the wiki
20:42:49 <zzz> str4d, let's discuss in NYC too
20:42:49 <str4d> zzz: yes.
20:42:49 <zzz> 5) facebook Meeh go
20:42:49 * str4d will move the 3-step plan to /wiki/OpenITPReview/Plan
20:42:49 <Meeh> ok
20:42:49 <Meeh> As I said to zzz on CCC, I now got control over the https://www.facebook.com/I2P page
20:42:49 <EinMByte> Good thing for publicity, I suppose
20:42:49 <topiltzin> way cool :)
20:42:49 <EinMByte> I personally avoid the thing, but obviously most people have facebook
20:42:49 <Meeh> and I used ~10$ and 15min of my time in between my dayjob, and likes rised from 150 to 300
20:42:49 <eche|on2> so far good, but I keep outof facebook
20:42:50 <Meeh> this was in less than 10 hours
20:42:56 <EinMByte> so it's definitely a good thing to get more users
20:43:02 <Meeh> you don't need a account to see the page
20:43:22 <Meeh> however, I think we need to be public there too, to get "big", more users
20:43:22 <EinMByte> Meeh: I know, was more referring to liking and the like
20:43:37 <Meeh> but, nobody here like facebook, nor got an account :P
20:44:04 <Meeh> so, I might have something from work, that I can reuse so we can have an i2p url for some selected which can login and post to facebook, via I2P
20:44:09 <TerraNullius> Hello, about 3) would it also be possible to host releases on github?
20:44:12 <zzz> Meeh, is that it or are you asking for discussion or...?
20:44:55 <Meeh> mostly info, but I think it could be a idea to have an discussion about reaching our users via "social media"
20:44:57 <zzz> TerraNullius, we are done with 3) for now, sorry, you can wait until after the meeting to discuss further
20:45:37 <zzz> Meeh, please discuss with orion, he's our head of publicity, I assume he has some ideas
20:45:43 <EinMByte> Meeh: obviously those new users will need to understand that using "social media" isn't without risks
20:45:54 <zzz> we can also brainstorm with him in NYC and get back to you
20:46:07 <Meeh> we need more contributors, content providers, users, +++, and as we can see the "corporate" world collects a lot of users from SM
20:46:32 <Meeh> EinMByte: ofc. but someone needs to tell them ;)
20:46:39 <Meeh> that's where we comes in
20:46:41 <EinMByte> very true
20:46:47 <topiltzin> and underground I2P parties :)
20:46:47 <Giant> Who would moderate i2p<->fb? That will be spam central.
20:46:49 <zzz> you're paying people to like you?
20:46:56 <topiltzin> (until 6 am)
20:47:03 <Meeh> yes a little now just to see how much I could boost it
20:47:05 <eche|on2> zzz: yes, some folks do that
20:47:16 <Meeh> 22 friends and the rest from ads
20:47:23 <zzz> now all we need are firetrucks
20:48:11 <Meeh> Giant: read me again. "for some selected which can login" :)
20:48:16 <Meeh> selected is the keyworld
20:48:18 <Meeh> word*
20:48:24 <zzz> good job Meeh , let's all feed him some content. There's a couple pix from ccc too that you can post
20:48:25 <zzz> I have one from tuna but you'll have to crop off the people in the background
20:48:37 <zzz> anything else on 5) ?
20:48:51 <Meeh> Awsome, if someone can give me a link for it I will upload a gallery, including some from me
20:49:08 <Meeh> ye, I'll fix that
20:49:11 <zzz> ok just be sure to crop
20:49:26 <zzz> anything else for the meeting?
20:49:35 <EinMByte> yes
20:49:39 <user> why crop? are you on them in the background? ;)
20:49:46 <EinMByte> I'd like to propose a short discussion about GNS integration
20:50:16 <EinMByte> Are we still looking into that?
20:50:16 * str4d was about to mention that
20:50:27 <Meeh> user: it wasn't allowed to take pictures if not all agreed on it, and we can't find all ppl to ask if it's ok to publish
20:50:35 <str4d> GNS or others
20:50:35 <zzz> ok it could go all day so let's try 10 minutes
20:50:37 <zzz> 6) GNS EinMByte go
20:51:07 <user> Meeh: ah, ok. that makes sense
20:51:09 <str4d> EinMByte: looking into it, yes.
20:51:22 <EinMByte> Alright, so what approach are we going to take
20:51:25 <EinMByte> reimplement?
20:51:28 <str4d> No guarantees that it will happen, or be a direct integration (or even that it will be GNS).
20:51:40 <EinMByte> is there still some possibility of not having to rewrite?
20:51:46 <str4d> But what we have now is an ad-hoc "just works" mess.
20:52:16 <EinMByte> What about support from their side?
20:52:31 <Meeh> topiltzin: want to be a facebook star again? :) (wrt I2P, pictures, CCC)
20:52:34 <EinMByte> They seemed pretty "closed"...
20:53:02 <topiltzin> sure thing Meeh go for it :)
20:53:34 <zzz> spent hours and hours with Christian at CCC
20:54:19 <EinMByte> zzz: no results whatsoever from that?
20:54:30 <str4d> EinMByte: *if* we decide to use GNS as-is (and ignore the fact that by default its DHT is not anonymous), then we could hook it in for testing with ExecNamingService
20:54:33 <str4d> There's a defined API. We just write a script that can query that API, and run it from ExecNamingService.
20:54:33 <str4d> Simple. But not at all optimal.
20:54:42 <zzz> could be anything from 'they solve all our problems' to 'lets use some of it' to 'those are some good ideas' to wow, no thanks
20:55:08 <zzz> no results really. Other than we promised to look into it
20:55:37 <zzz> I think we need to understand what they are doing. Beyond that, nothing is decided
20:56:15 <zzz> atm I'm a skeptic on all things gnunet. Doesn't mean I couldn't be convinced.
20:56:31 <str4d> zzz forwarded me an interesting exchange about I2P naming, it mentioned several other techs besides GNS
20:57:39 <EinMByte> well, I suppose that (as you say zzz), there may be some problems with the ideas behind GNS
20:58:02 <EinMByte> That is: will our users be able to adapt
20:58:09 <str4d> DLV (DNSSEC Lookaside Validation), DNSCurve...
20:58:14 <str4d> There are more technologies out there than GNS
20:58:14 <str4d> I can see that many ideas in GNS have been developed from scratch, assuming nothing.
20:58:37 <topiltzin> boiling the oceans
20:58:44 <zzz> sure. It's been a long time since we discussed our naming system in the big context of the internet, the triangle, alternatives, etc, so that's a good thing
20:58:48 <EinMByte> Yes. Since we need an alternative to hosts.txt for sure, we might as well look into those alternatives
20:59:00 <str4d> Even things like how the local cache is stored encrypted, as a direct copy of the blocks obtained from the DHT
20:59:02 <zzz> but he is indeed trying to boil
20:59:37 <str4d> I ran a quick test, I can confirm that NamingServices can be distributed as plugins.
20:59:39 <zzz> we talked about a layer that hides the GNS ugliness that we would have to design and implement. However that may also hide some of the benefits.
20:59:59 <str4d> It only requires that the default NamingService is a MetaNamingService.
21:01:06 <str4d> Are there any downsides to making the install-default NamingService a MetaNamingService, and the default added NamingService to it BlockfileNamingService?
21:01:08 <zzz> let's wrap up 6), we aren't going to fix things here
21:01:08 <zzz> anything else on 6) ? anything else for the meeting?
21:01:15 <str4d> (Current default NS is BlockfileNamingService, and current default added NS to Meta is HostsTxt...)
21:01:26 <EinMByte> one more thing on 6:
21:01:30 <str4d> zzz: above proposal is I think part of 6
21:01:32 <EinMByte> str4d, you mention alternatives?
21:01:50 <EinMByte> if GNS doesn't work, we can always check out other things
21:01:54 <EinMByte> they might fit us better
21:02:25 <str4d> EinMByte: yes. I have no knowledge of these alternatives, but all ideas are worth consideration.
21:04:12 <str4d> zzz: I propose that we change to MNS in 0.9.10, there is no visible change to users, but then if people want to test a NS plugin they don't need to edit router.config
21:04:18 <zzz> ok, everybody keep working on these ideas big and little, thats how we make things better
21:04:35 <EinMByte> str4d: okay. I will try to find some time to look into them
21:04:48 <EinMByte> I suppose this closes 6?
21:04:54 <zzz> str4d, we can do it when we need to but no rush? needs more testing too. Maybe post a howto?
21:05:17 <zzz> ok you all can keep yakking but I gotta run
21:05:19 <topiltzin> I'll offer the contrarian view: our current naming system works just fine
21:05:27 <EinMByte> same here
21:05:30 <topiltzin> and has some benefits we want to keep
21:05:38 * str4d afk
21:06:06 * zzz *bafs* the meeting closed

The medical aid group Doctors Without Borders said it continues to treat wounded civilians in South Sudan?s Jonglei State, where ethnic violence stemming from cattle raids has left about one thousand people dead. Many of the wounded are seeking help some three weeks after an attack on the town of Pibor and villages in Pibor County.
?We have medical teams stationed in different parts of Jonglei State. Many of the people that we are receiving after the recent violence have extremely bad wounds,? said Jean Marc Jacobs, deputy head of mission in South Sudan for the group, also known as MSF.
Festering wounds
Many of the wounded are women and children. About 60 civilians had gunshot wounds. Many others had been beaten as they tried to escape the violence. There are also many malaria cases.
?The main problem that we see,? he said, ?is that people have taken a very long time to actually reach medical facilities. Many of those wounds are now badly infected.?
MSF has been operating in Jonglei State since 2005 with one hospital and two outreach clinics. Jacobs said, ?It is a state where access to basic services is very limited. Hospitals, schools, access to water ? all these are very, very limited. The violence is preventing people from accessing these services even more.?
He added, ?We are very worried by the pattern of violence that we are witnessing. This has been going on for the last couple of years. And the impact on civilians is really becoming unacceptable.?
MSF has 156 staff members in Jonglei State and they have not been immune to the violence there.
?There are still 25 that are unaccounted for and one of our staff, sadly, has been confirmed dead. This is obviously very sad news for us and we are extremely worried about that the 25 that we are still trying to locate,? said Jacobs.
The unaccounted for workers were all hired locally. It?s possible some have sought safety with family members, but others may still be hiding in the bush. ?We fear the worst, obviously,? he said.
MSF has sent teams to various parts of the state to try to locate the missing. They often found a lot of empty villages, indicating civilians are in hiding. The concern is that some may be wounded or injured and without medical care.
There are national and international troops in Jonglei State. Jacobs said, ?It is not for MSF to comment on whether or not they provide security to the people.?
The U.N. Special Envoy to South Sudan, Hilde Johnson, said more peacekeeping troops are being sent to Jonglei State. There had been concerns that those troops were outnumbered by local gunmen.
While the medical aid group said it has enough supplies to treat those in need, getting the supplies to Jonglei isn?t easy. A lack of road access means the supplies must be flown in.
?It is a major undertaking, but we are making a big investment and we are committed to the population of Jonglei,? he said.

There was little doubt that Shelby would call it a day following the completion of the 2010 Ford Shelby Mustang GT500. After all, 540 hp just might not cut it for some Shelby faithful. So to take the 2010 GT500 to the next level, Shelby revealed the Super Snake package at the Mid America Ford and Team Shelby Nationals in Tulsa, Okla.
With this post title package, Shelby takes an existing customer car and performs power and handling upgrades. Depending on which supercharger the customer selects, the Super Snake will churn out 630 hp for the base configuration or 725 hp with the optional setup. Further changes under the hood include an upgraded intercooler, cold air intake system and radiator. A Borla cat-back exhaust hangs out back for 630 hp models, while 725 hp cars uses a JBA unit.
Handling improvements come courtesy of a Ford Racing suspension with adjustable dampers, stiffer springs, thicker antiroll bars, a front strut tower brace and 20-inch Super Snake wheels wrapped with Pirelli P-Zero tires. Helping to tame the additional power are Baer six-piston front calipers with cross drilled rotors at all four corners.
While the onus is clearly on performance, the Super Snake does add a few visual enhancements. Those include an exclusive hood with a larger scoop and vents, striping decals, rear quarter window scoops, and carbon fiber splitter and side sills. Inside, seat headrests feature embroidered Shelby logos and carbon-fiber faced gauge faces.
Pricing for the Super Snake package begins at $29,495 for the 630-hp model and $33,495 for the 725-hp kit, which includes installation at Shelby Automobiles' Las Vegas plant or at a Shelby authorized mod shop. Additional options include a six-piston rear brake system, Eibach adjustable coil-over suspension and a two-tone leather interior upgrade. Each car will receive a Shelby consecutively number dash plaque, engine plate and listed in the official Shelby registry. Builds of the 2010 Super Snake begin in August.
GT love
For the thousands of Mustang GT owners out there, they probably are starting to feel a little left out with the GT500 receiving so much attention. Not to worry, because Shelby has heard the requests and also introduced a track-catering Shelby SR package for 2005-2009 Mustang GTs.
Power jumps to 550 hp with the help of a Ford Racing supercharger and Borla exhaust.
Extensive handling alterations begin with an Eibach suspension with coil-over shocks, struts, pro sway bars, bump steer kit, improved lower control arm bushings and caster/camber plates. A Watts Link suspension sits out back. Lightweight 18-inch aluminum wheels come mounted with 275/35 BF Goodrich R compound rubber. Brake performance is addressed with Baer six-piston front and rear units.

First look: Padres 2013 Draft pick Dustin Peterson
Bernie Pleskoff's initial scouting report on San Diego's second-rounder
The Arizona League offers an opportunity for rookie position players and pitchers to become acclimated to life as a professional baseball player.
Granted, it's hot in the evenings, and the infields are hard. That aspect doesn't change much from season to season in the desert. It's difficult playing in intense heat.
I had an opportunity to get several looks at San Diego Padres prospect Dustin Peterson as he played for the Arizona Padres this summer.
Peterson came to the Padres in the second round of the 2013 First-Year Player Draft. He was the 50th player selected.
Peterson hit .540 with 10 homers and 39 RBIs during his senior season at Gilbert High School in Arizona. He had committed to Arizona State University but instead signed with the Padres.
Peterson's older brother D.J. was chosen by the Seattle Mariners as the 12th overall selection in the same Draft. The older Peterson attended the University of New Mexico.
Dustin Peterson played shortstop in high school, but he has been moved to third base by the Padres. He has played 30 games at third and has served as a designated hitter six times.
At this point, Peterson's hitting is more advanced than his defense.
In the Arizona League, Peterson is hitting .291 with no homers and 18 RBIs in 165 plate appearances.
Peterson is the type of hitter that will be able to extend the length of the lineup with good plate discipline and pitch recognition. He has the ability to make consistent contact, frequently hitting the ball solidly on the barrel of the bat. And he looks to take the pitch where it is thrown.
Only 18, at this early point of his development, Peterson has a nice, easy swing without trying to extend his capabilities and hit home runs. His swing is polished and mature. There is little movement in his setup, his trigger or at the point of contact regarding his hitting mechanics.
At 6-foot-2, 185 pounds, Peterson's right-handed swing is measured and compact. He swings as though he is happy to be using the entire field. He's patient enough to realize his power will come in time as he fills out with more strength and muscle.
The key to Peterson at this stage is his ability to use his strong hands and quick wrists to get through the ball quickly and with good extension. As I saw when I scouted him in Arizona, he is hitting line drives without much loft or backspin on the ball. Those components generally develop at full maturity.
If there is any concern regarding Peterson's overall game, it has to be his defense. So far, he has made 14 errors in 80 total chances.
Since Peterson is likely to add inches and weight to his frame, it will be difficult for him to return to the shortstop position he once played. There are issues with his first-step quickness and range that could be exposed at any infield position other than third base. Eventually, and with sufficient development instruction and repetition, he could become an adequate third baseman. He has enough arm strength and carry on the ball to play that position. However, I don't see him having enough speed to play the outfield.
Peterson is a player with projectable size, strength and bat speed to develop into a power hitter. He has the natural ability to evolve into the type of hitter that can drive in runs and extend innings with good, selective at-bats.

Two School Board members were unable to attend meeting
MORTON — A report to the School Board from the District 709 facilities advisory committee originally scheduled for Tuesday has been moved to March 4.
"Two School Board members (Kelly Scarfe and Tim Taylor) couldn't make it to (Tuesday's) meeting, so the presentation was moved to the next meeting," said Superintendent Lindsey Hall.
"It's not a big deal to wait two weeks. It won't make or break the report."
The 19-member committee — made up of district administrators and teachers, School Board members, parents and residents —- studied the district's facilities, visited schools in other communities and were provided projections of future district enrollment by consulting firms.
Three options will be presented to the board next month by committee Chairman Mike Vlahos and Hall.
The options are building a new high school, building a new middle school (grades 5-8 or 6-8) or building a new junior high school (grades 7-8).
In each case, work also would be done on other district schools. Estimated costs for the options range from $88 million to $111 million.
"Mike and I will discuss the pros and cons of all three options," Hall said.
The board met Tuesday at Lincoln Elementary School following its annual get-together with the school's teachers.
Board meetings normally are held at the Education & Administration Center and live-streamed on the district's website.
But there are no live-streaming because district crews were televising Morton High School boys and girls basketball games.
The board's only action was approval of issuing $1.155 million in working cash bonds that will be used to pay for facilities improvements.
During a discussion about the possibility of the district losing more state funding, board members urged residents to express their concerns to the area's state lawmakers.
And Hall said she's "incredibly disappointed" that equitable school funding isn't a discussion topic in the gubernatorial primary races.
"One of the most important, if not the most important, jobs a state has is to educate its populace," she said.

I have a ground floor hallway that extends up a stairwell to a landing and then to the upper floor hallway - a large space - previously wallpapered in vinyl. The surface is sound but the paper is dark and I need to freshen it up.
Due to access problems in the stairwell and time/health limitations I cannot strip the paper and then paint - I am aware this is the best solution but it is not a viable option for me at the moment.
I therefore would like to paint on top of the vinyl wallpaper. Planning to use one or two coats of emulsion.
Any advice on how to approach this? Should I treat the paper first (diluted bonder) or key the surface by lightly sanding? Or is it a total non-starter because it is vinyl?
Thanks for any advice

You've seen Greg Tracy drive, you just didn't know it. The six-time Pikes Peak champ has been the wheelman in movies like The Fast And The Furious: Tokyo Drift, The Bourne Ultimatum, and The Italian Job just to name a few. He's also going to attempt a world record double loop stunt for Hot Wheels Saturday with Tanner Foust at the X Games.
He's taking a break from his preparations to chat with all of you, live, using our new Q&A discussion system. Ask your questions now and he'll be on at approximately 12:30 PM EST to answer them.
Tracy's IMDB page reads like a best-of for car films made in the last decade. His car control is as legendary as his mustache is full and lustrous. He rides bikes. He drifts muscle cars. He is the stuntman we all wished we were and, unlike Ryan Gosling, he hasn't gotten tied up with the mob (we hope!).
His next challenge is probably the biggest ever. Two cars. One giant six-story-high double loop. About a million ways it could go wrong. You can watch it live on June 30th at 2 PM EST on ABC as a part of the X-Games.
You can ask him all the questions you can think of right here. Live.

For some reason, Sarasota is a hot-bed of clients for me. Oh yeah, and a big "thank you" shout-out to Linda Larsen,
Kate Holgate and Polly Pitchford for stirring up out-of-state interest in my services. Carole Springer came to me with a very old and poorly designed website which
needed a facelift to better promote her services as a mitigation specialist for the state of Florida.
Pulling the colors from a nice photograph of the Sarasota court house, I was able to come up with a site that nicely reflects the look and feel of
that beautiful city leaving Carole very satisfied with her new responsive website. Read On

Fill-in for Victoria Azarenka at Sony Open takes home win
KEY BISCAYNE, Fla. -- An ankle injury forced two-time champion Victoria Azarenka to withdraw from the Sony Open on Friday, and Lauren Davis quickly went from lucky loser to lucky winner.
Given a spot in the draw when Azarenka pulled out, Davis took advantage of shaky play by Madison Keys in the decisive tiebreaker to win their second-round match 6-1, 5-7, 7-6 (7).
Davis trailed 6-3 in the tiebreaker and then saved three consecutive match points, all on unforced errors by Keys.
This was Davis' first victory at Key Biscayne, and the 19-year-old barely made the tournament. She learned at 10 a.m. that Azarenka had quit, and an hour later was playing on the stadium court.
"I didn't care if I won or lost," she said. "I just was so grateful for the opportunity to play."
No. 2-ranked Maria Sharapova was slowed only by a half-hour power outage during the night session, and she beat wild card Eugenie Bouchard 6-2, 6-0. Sharapova is a four-time runner-up at Key Biscayne, including in 2011 and 2012.
In men's play, two-time defending champion Novak Djokovic beat qualifier Lukas Rosol 6-1, 6-0 in 52 minutes. The match was the first for the No. 1-ranked Djokovic since his 22-match winning streak came to an end against Juan Martin del Potro last week in the Indian Wells semifinals.
Del Potro, seeded No. 5, lost a rain-interrupted match against Tobias Kamke of Germany, 7-6 (5), 6-1. The 26-year-old Kamke advanced to the third round of a Masters 1000 event for the first time.
"I was excited to play here," del Potro said, "but it was just a bad day, and he play really well."
No. 3 David Ferrer advanced by walkover when qualifier Dmitry Tursunov withdrew with acute gastroenteritis. Wild card James Blake, playing at Key Biscayne for the 12th time, had the stadium-court crowd cheering as he beat No. 24 Julien Benneteau 6-2, 6-3.
"You never know how many more chances I'll get like that playing in stadiums," Blake said. "I'm realistic. I hope I've got plenty left in the tank, but I'm also 33 years old. That's getting into senior-citizen range on tour."
Azarenka withdrew before her quarterfinal last week at Indian Wells because of inflammation and tendinitis in her right ankle. She returned to the practice court Wednesday, and the next day her injury was worse, she said.
She decided to withdraw after trying to practice Friday. Now she figures she needs another couple of weeks to recover.
"I really wanted to play here," she said. "That is very frustrating part. But I will take the necessary time for me to get rid of this problem and move on to the next chapter."
Ranked No. 3, Azarenka is 17-0 this year with two titles but has withdrawn from three tournaments, including the Australian Open before the semifinals because of a right toe injury.
Once the No. 81-ranked Davis was granted a spot in the draw, she worked hard to keep it. In a matchup between two teenagers from nearby Boca Raton, she and Keys played for more than 2 1/2 hours before reaching the tiebreaker.
Keys, an 18-year-old wild card, entered the tournament with a career-best ranking of No. 76. But when she served for the match at 6-3 in the tiebreaker, her inexperience showed.
She dumped groundstrokes into the net on consecutive points, then pushed a forehand wide for 6-all, and at 7-all she double-faulted. When Keys sailed a forehand long on the final point, she broke her racket by slamming it to the concrete.
"This will sting for a couple of days," she said. "The whole match bugs me. Early on I was going for too much. Then in the tiebreaker I was remember what happened earlier, and that made me more nervous."
Steadier from the baseline but a head shorter than Keys, the 5-foot-2 Davis won despite trailing 10-0 in aces and 43-10 in winners.
"I just relied on my fighting instincts to pull me through," she said.
Davis said she and Keys have known each other for several years. They practice together often and are good friends.
"We're always so competitive, and the score is always really, really close," Davis said. "It's the smallest things that make a difference."
