This pen belong to my grandmother. I seem to recall that she kept it by her telephone and used the end to "dial" the phone (old type). I haven't been able to find any info on line on it, but may need more information. Anyone know what these were called. The top says " TOWLE STERLING"

Unsolved Mystery

Help us close this case. Add your knowledge below.

    The Towle Silversmiths Company made allsorts of silver items. Their pen is a unique pen made to be used with a rotary dial phone. It is an art deco ball point pen with it's signature telephone dialer end. It is known in the trade as; "The Towle Silver Dialer Pen" and prices are approximately $100 - $150 for a very crisp example.

    A bit of Company history:
    In 1882, Anthony Francis Towle, while still owning A.F. Towle & Son, established the Towle Manufacturing Co. In 1890, the company adopted the trademark of a large script "T" enclosed by a lion. Richard Dimes, an English silversmith who had immigrated to the U.S. in 1881, started Towle's hollowware line. Richard Dimes, who also worked for the Frank W. Smith Silver Co., would eventually establish his own company, Richard Dimes Co., in Boston. Eventually the company's name was changed to Towle Silversmiths. Over the years, Towle has created numerous sterling silver flatware patterns in the United States: including the "Candlelight" in 1934, the "Marie Louise" in 1939 which became the official sterling silver pattern for U.S. embassies worldwide, "Old Master" in 1942, now considered by some to be the company’s flagship pattern, and the "Contour" in 1950 (designed by Robert J. King, patented by John Van Koert) which was the first American sterling pattern to manifest post-World War II organic modernist design and the only production-line American flatware included in the Museum of Modern Art's Good Design exhibitions. In 1990, Towle Silversmiths was acquired by the holding company Syratech Inc., that also owned Wallace Silversmiths and the International Silver Co. Hope this helps! ;)

This 1961 manual mimeograph machine is part of the collection of old educational technology curated at It was manufactured by Standard Rocket. It's a 1961 Standard Rocket mimeograph machine with a few dozen Copy-rite Spirit Master Units and two standard wicks (I'm not entirely sure what they are). The machine is hand cranked and appears to be in working order. The stencils seem a little dried out as in, I can't detect that old smell that so many of us associate with school mimeographs.

Game Preview

Courtesy Las Vegas Bowl and CFP
December 20, 2011

LAS VEGAS - The 20th edition of the MAACO Bowl Las Vegas will pit the highest-ranked team in its history against a first-time visitor as Boise State meets Arizona State on Thursday, December 22 at 8 EST.

Executive Director Tina Kunzer-Murphy said, "We are ecstatic to offer this matchup to help celebrate our historic 20th year," Kunzer-Murphy said. "Boise State fans have shown they love Las Vegas as not only did they help us mark our sixth consecutive sellout a year ago, but they also came down in droves for the Broncos' game vs. UNLV earlier this season. It's also exciting to be the site of the final collegiate game for the sport's winningest quarterback, Kellen Moore.

"We are also thrilled to finally host Arizona State from the Pac-12 side. The Sun Devils are a traditionally marquee program that we know is excited about playing in its first bowl game in four years. ASU has a strong following in Southern Nevada and their campus is just over 300 miles away from Las Vegas so we expect to see a lot of maroon and gold in the stands on December 22."

For the second straight year, Boise State (BCS No. 7) comes into the bowl at 11-1 overall and finished 6-1 in conference play in its first season as a member of the Mountain West. In 2010, head coach Chris Petersen's squad was No. 10 in the final BCS Standings when it filled an at-large spot out of the Western Athletic Conference. Boise State defeated Utah 26-3 in front of the second-largest crowd in the event's history at 41,923.

Despite its close proximity to Las Vegas, Arizona State (6-6 overall, 4-5 Pac-12) will be making its first appearance in the MAACO Bowl Las Vegas. It will mark the first postseason trip for the Sun Devils since playing in the 2007 Holiday Bowl. It will also serve as the final game for Dennis Erickson as head coach at ASU.

"The goal at the beginning of the year for any college football team is to play in a bowl game," said Erickson. "We are grateful to the MAACO Bowl Las Vegas and the city of Las Vegas for giving us this opportunity."

Arizona State began the year on fire by winning 5 of its first 6 games and appeared well on its way toward capturing the PAC-12 South title and an appearance in the inaugural conference championship game. The Sun Devils rolled USC 43-22 on September 24, handing the Trojans one of its two losses. But Arizona State did a 180 in the back half of the season with just one victory in the last six games. The Sun Devils limp into Las Vegas on a 4-game losing streak. Erickson was fired after a 47-38 loss at home to Cal in the regular season finale.

For the second straight year, Boise State missed out on a perfect season because of an imperfect kicking game. This year, freshman kicker Dan Goodale missed wide right on a 39-yard field goal attempt on the final play of a 36-35 loss to TCU. Missed field goals also doomed Boise last year in a 34-31 overtime loss at Nevada.

Boise State is 49-3 over the last 4 years and 72-6 since Petersen became head coach in 2006.

This will mark only the second meeting of the two teams as then-No. 5 Arizona State defeated Boise State 56-7 on Oct. 5, 1996, in Tempe. That was Boise State's first season as an FBS member.

The Congrove Computer Rankings project Boise State as a whopping 16.03-point favorite in the contest.

The game will take place at Sam Boyd Stadium in Las Vegas and will be broadcast nationally on ESPN with an announcing crew of Chris Fowler, Kirk Herbstreit and Tom Rinaldi.

ACC CHAMPIONS! Women's Tennis Defeats FSU 4-1
Sunday, 04/28/2013

Univ. of Miami (Florida) Team Page

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. –  The 10th-ranked University of Miami women’s tennis team won its first ACC Championship on Sunday, after defeating 30th-ranked and rival Florida State, 4-1, at the North Carolina’s Cone-Kenfield Tennis Center.
“My players are starting to learn things about themselves that they never knew existed,” said UM head coach Paige Yaroshuk-Tews. “For a coach, that is really cool.
“I am so happy for them and this institution. Conference titles are huge for everyone!”
Sophomore Lina Lileikite was named the tournament’s most outstanding performer after claiming her second win in as many days from her No. 3 position. Her 6-2, 6-2 victory over the Seminoles’ Mia Vriens gave the Canes a 3-1 lead before junior Melissa Bolivar clinched the team’s first title.
Against second-ranked North Carolina on Saturday, Lileikite won a three-set match over the Tar Heels’ 36th-ranked Whitney Kay, 6-3, 5-7, 6-4. Combined with her win over Vriens, that was more than enough to earn the heralded award.
After capturing yet another doubles point, Monique Albuquerque extended the Canes lead to 2-0 with her brisk, 6-4, 6-1, win over FSU’s Kerrie Cartwright at the No. 5 position.
The Seminoles’ Amy Sargeant gave her team their only point, downing Clementina Riobueno, 6-2, 6-1, before Lileikite won her match.
Bolivar’s 6-3, 6-4 straight-set victory over Kristina Schleich was all that Miami would need to clinch the win. Both Stephanie Wagner and Kelsey Laurente will still competing on Courts 1 and 2, respectively, when the match came to a victorious end.
After rain halted doubles play just 30 minutes into the match at the Cary Tennis Center, both teams made their way to the nearby Cone-Kenfield Tennis Center on the University of North Carolina’s campus.
The young Hurricanes, ranked 10th in the nation have been a story all season long. Four collegiate newcomers make up the majority of Miami’s roster and each has played a huge role in helping the Canes earn their first conference title since joining the league in 2004.
“This team was just so tough throughout the tournament,” said Yaroshuk-Tews. To be so young and come away with this win is amazing.”
Two of the newcomers helped set the tone for Miami in earning the interrupted doubles point. Albuquerque and Riobueno sealed the early point with an 8-5 win over the Noles’ Francesca Segarelli and Daneika Brothwick.
Bolivar and Laurente were the first to get on the board in doubles with an 8-5 win of their own on Court 2.
Up next for the Hurricanes will be the Division One Women’s Tennis Selection Show on April 30. The show will be aired on at 5:30 p.m. and will reveal who the Canes will face in the upcoming NCAA tournament.
1. Monique Albuquerque/Clementina Riobueno (UM) def. Francesca Segarelli/Daneika Borthwick (FSU) 8-5

Birds killed by truck?

MDC has theories, but no answer for Saturday's deaths

8:17 AM, Nov. 20, 2012
  • Filed Under

A big vehicle plowing through a flock of startled starlings may have left 50 to 100 birds dying in the street over the weekend.

That's one theory the Missouri Department of Conservation has come up with to explain the birds' demise, according MDC Media Specialist Francis Skalicky.

"A Conservation agent investigated the scene and there's no evidence of foul play," Skalicky said late Monday. "He did collect two birds and the Health Department was asked if they wanted to test them, but they said no. We believe it was a single event at that location. It may be unusual to see on a street within the city ...

After a nearly two-year search, the owners of Grossen Bart Brewery have announced they have signed a lease on a new 3,100-square-foot location at 1025 Delaware Ave. in Longmont.

Though they looked in other cities, including Boulder, Erie and Frederick, co-founder Shad Chancey said he and his partner, Taylor Wise, always had a preference for Longmont because they both live here and think the city provides plenty of opportunity for them to start and grow their business.

Several Longmont sites were considered before they finally settled on the Delaware Avenue location, he said.

"We found this location in January. Since then we've basically been in negotiations," Chancey said.

Plans are to open with a 10-barrel brewing system, he said.

"It's going to be a nice size tap room and on the side of it, we're going to have a beer garden out there," Chancey said.

Opening is planned for early fall, he said.

Grossen Bart Brewery

"We started this in 2012," Chancey said. "We got licensed to distribute and all that, but we were always just looking for the right location."

Over the two years, they have been brewing and distributing their beers where they could, including in restaurants, but were always limited in what they could do until they found a permanent spot, he said.

Grossen Bart, which is German for "big beard," will be joining 300 Suns, which opened in February, and Left Hand Brewing Co. and Oskar Blues Brewery as the other craft breweries that call Longmont home. A nanobrewery called Samples is scheduled to open downtown this fall, and Boulder-based Mountain Sun Pubs & Breweries will open the Longs Peak Pub & Taphouse later this year inside the Roosevelt Park Apartments, joining the Pumphouse brewpub in downtown Longmont.

Devils ship F Rolston to Islanders for F Hunter

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) -- In a move that helps both teams with regards to salaries, the Devils on Thursday acquired forward Trent Hunter from the New York Islanders in exchange for forward Brian Rolston.

Hunter, 31, spent nine seasons with the Islanders, compiling 99 goals and 229 points in 459 NHL games. Acquired from Anaheim on May 23, 2000, Hunter was a Ducks' sixth-round draft choice in 1998. Due to a torn MCL, he played in just 17 games last season, scoring one goal.

Rolston, 38, was in his second stint as a Devil. He had 14 goals and 34 points last season as New Jersey missed the postseason for the first time since 1996.

The deal brings the Islanders closer to the NHL's salary floor of $48.3 million next season. And it also gives the Devils a little more cap space to try and sign restricted free agent Zach Parise, who is scheduled to go to salary arbitration next week.

Rolston is entering the final year of a deal that pays him a little more than $5 million. Hunter is scheduled to earn $2 million.

Nautilus focuses on new strengths

New fitness machine part of bid to offer lower-priced items

By Aaron Corvin, Columbian port & economy reporter

photoNautilus Inc. The Bowflex BodyTower is Nautilus Inc.’s first new strength machine in more than five years.

Nautilus Inc. has released its first strength machine in more than five years -- the Bowflex BodyTower -- in a continuing bid to offer lower-priced fitness products to consumers.

“The BodyTower uniquely focuses on strength training through muscle stability using body weight,” Nathan Roe, director of marketing for the Vancouver-based maker of fitness equipment, said in a news release this week. “And, we’re doing it at a value price point.”

Release of the new fitness device provides another sign of renewed vigor on the part of the company, which also has shored up its financial situation as of late.

Nautilus is selling the BodyTower by way of multiple retail and online channels, including Dick’s Sporting Goods, which pegs the tower’s price at $299.99 on its website. By contrast, other products designed and built by Nautilus, including its TreadClimber exercise machine, have ranged into several-thousand-dollar territory.

Historically, Nautilus’ sales have depended on consumers willing and able to open their wallets or take on debt to buy the company’s costly fitness equipment.

The BodyTower -- which features an adjustable bar that enables people to choose the intensity and variety of a workout -- marks yet another move by the company to introduce less-pricey fitness machines and to reach more consumers. In October, for example, the company rolled out its first new type of fitness equipment in several years, offering the CoreBody Reformer -- a T-shaped device combining Pilates, dance and yoga -- primarily to women ages 25 to 55.

That device’s price at the time? $279, including accessories.

A credit ‘shield’

Last month, during Nautilus’ fourth-quarter earnings conference call, the company’s chief operating officer, Bill McMahon, said that while the company’s credit-approval rates have improved, lower-priced products help “shield us against tighter credit in economically difficult times.”

The company has also said that it believes it will benefit over the long run as America’s population ages and as a growing number of retiring baby boomers work to stay fit.

In fact, more than 45 million baby boomers (born between 1945 and 1964) “enjoy intense perspiration at gyms, health clubs or in their home gyms,” according to a report issued this month by the Sporting Goods Manufacturers Association.

Nautilus reported a profit of roughly $3.2 million for the three-month period ended Dec. 31, or 10 cents per share. The company broke even in 2010’s fourth quarter.

For all of 2011, Nautilus posted a profit of $1.4 million. By contrast, the company saw a net loss of $22.8 million for all of 2010.

Nautilus had reported annual losses every year since 2006 until the first quarter of 2011, when it posted a profit of $1.6 million.

As it has climbed back to profitability, the publicly traded company also has repaired its relationship with the New York Stock Exchange. Last month, Nautilus said it regained compliance with the NYSE’s listing rules by raising its market capitalization -- the total value of all of the company’s stock -- to meet the exchange’s minimum standards.

As of Thursday, Nautilus’ market cap was $79.94 million.

Founded in 1986, the company -- which employs 320 people -- develops and sells fitness equipment and accessories. Its brand names include Nautilus, Bowflex and Schwinn Fitness.

Nautilus stock, which trades as NLS, closed at $2.60 per share Thursday -- unchanged from the previous day’s close. The company’s shares have traded between $1.32 and $3.45 in the past 52 weeks.

Letter: Can budget maintain a museum?

Due to the national spending deficits we are having and the prevailing attitudes about our federal government having "a spending problem," I feel a comment is required about the decision by the National Park Service to take over the operations of the Pearson Air Museum.

A Feb. 23 story "National Parks brace for cuts" reported the Park Service trying to cut back on operations of our national parks due to budget constraints.

Pearson Air Museum has been operated for years at, as I understand it, little cost to the Park Service and in a very straight-forward manner for the benefits of our community. Does it make sense for the Park Service to make the kind of investment it will take to stock, fixture and operate this venue?

Workforce Development Offers Intro to Networks

(COLUMBIA, Tenn. – April 18, 2014) - - - Columbia State Community College’s Center for Workforce Development is offering an “Introduction to Networks” class at the Williamson County campus Tuesdays and Thursdays, April 22 – May 22.

The class introduces the architecture, structure, functions, components and models of the internet and other computer networks, using the OSI and TCP layered models to examine the nature and roles of protocols and services at the application, network, data link and physical layers.

The principles and structures of IP addressing and the fundamentals of Ethernet concepts, media and operations are introduced in order to provide a foundation for the curriculum. Labs will use a "model internet" to allow students to analyze real data without affecting production networks. Packet Tracer activities help students analyze protocol and network operations and build small networks in a simulated environment.

By the end of the course, students will be able to build simple LAN topologies by applying basic principles of cabling, performing basic configurations of network devices such as routers and switches, and implementing IP addressing schemes.

Spacebar to open Mid-September in Former KOBO Space

Decrease Font Size Increase Font Size Text Size Print This Page

When the announcement of Kobo’s “last show” made it through the grapevine of Columbus, the city-folk were sad to see a beloved bar rest in peace. Another one bites the dust, huh? Once a local bar that housed insane rock shows and affordable booze, Kobo’s grunge, unique bathrooms, vinyl-covered countertops and comprehensive energy will be missed. The final Kobo show took place on June 1st, and the space has been closed ever since.

Columbus eagerly awaited for the news of the new bar, the new owner and the new renovations expected within the location. Well, the name of the bar is Spacebar (located on 2590 N High Street), the new owner’s name is Ben DeRolph, and expected grand-opening is mid September. Columbus Underground had the opportunity to gather a few answers from DeRolph, accumulating news relevant to the bar, himself and the Columbus music scene:

Q: First, can you tell me a bit about yourself and any other partners involved in this new project as it relates to the entertainment/music business?

A: Well, I started playing guitar at 15, pretty much when I found grunge. Started playing in bands in college, even had one that spent five weeks touring the east coast. Learned to play drums because of what a bitch it was (and is…) to find a drummer. Did live sound at a small venue for a few years. Then on top of being a pedal junkie, I became a synth junkie when I decided to just make music on my own for a while. So, obviously I love music, and am so lucky to get into this pipe-dream of running a venue. My family is tight and my mom and dad are a huge help with this. They have incredible business skills and knowledge having run my family’s other business in Lancaster (Kumler Collision and Automotive) since I was a little kid.

 Q: What got you interested in opening the new bar in this specific location?

A: Well, its previous owner is a good friend of mine. Jacob invited me to join his Queen cover band, Mr. Fahrenheit and The Loverboys. We met up at the bar to talk about the band and I started off telling him how jealous I was that he ran a music venue. It turned out that he was ready to let it go and had met with a business broker the day before. So, I didn’t have choice in its location, but aside from not having a parking lot I think it’s a great spot. Street parking is way easier than it is down in the Short North. I became friends with a bunch of other great people on the strip right off the bat, including the folks at Bossy Grrrl, Ace of Cups, Cafe Bella, and even the guys at Ace Hardware are cool. It was simply an opportunity not to be passed up.

Q: The name Spacebar is a great one. What’s the concept going to be for the new bar/venue?

A: Well, I’ve been explaining it to people, starting off with the group of friends I brought in for thoughts and ideas for the place, that there are three reasons behind the name: I’ve been into outer space since I was a little kid (even won Outstanding Camper at Space Camp in 5th grade), am a computer junkie and it’s the most used key, plus the first thing I hoped (and have) done with the place was to free up more space. And beyond just the logo (yes it’s going to have a space theme to it), I’m keeping it classy…

Q: So what types of live music and entrainment do you plan to feature at Spacebar?

A: My answer to the music question is always this: any type of music as long as the performers are respectful to the venue and its staff. Personally, I’m all over the map when it comes to music; I’m just very picky about metal, hip hop and country. And I’m not exactly into classical aside from background music in films. As long as we have good people who bring other good people to the venue, the genre doesn’t matter. We’re also having karaoke (which will be weekly, though occasionally we’ll also have live-band karaoke thanks to Zombie Recess), trivia, open stage that can be any form of performance art hosted by Tommy Young of Low Men, movie nights, possibly even comedy and magic shows.

Q: What’s the timeline for the grand opening?

A: Construction has of course backed things up, but the planned opening night is set for Friday, September 12th. Fingers crossed!

    new bar concept sounds super cool. I think it should be mentioned though that “beloved bar” Kobo was “beloved bar” Oldfield’s on High for years before Kobo. plenty of us local bands played a show or 2 at Oldfield’s. Kobo only existed a mere 4 years, but what Jacob & Co. did to open up the inside and revamp the layout was certainly much needed.

As the numbering suggests, "Superior Spider-Man" #6AU by Christos Gage and Dexter Soy is set during the "Age of Ultron" crossover. According to Marvel's instructions, this means the book can be safely skipped without missing any of the book's ongoing story, and a fill-in team of creators helps sell that idea. Indeed, having read the book, it's true: this is no more an essential read for fans of "Superior Spider-Man" than the average issue of "Avenging Spider-Man" is.

The setting doesn't give a huge amount of room to advance the plot of either the crossover or "Superior Spider-Man," so instead Gage has found a story with a (reasonably) circular structure. Although the character changes, the story intentionally ends in more or less the same place it began. At the same time it does what good crossovers should: addresses points that the main book doesn't have space for. Specifically, why is Octo-spidey not acting more like readers might expect Octo-spidey to act?

The question of why someone as arrogant as Octavius would accept help from other super-powered individuals as allies, even commanders, rather than as underlings is reasonable. This comic attempts to give a good reason for Octo-Peter to hang around with the Avengers in "Age of Ultron," taking orders them rather than trying to save himself (or even take on the threat alone). In that, it succeeds. It's essentially a stand-alone character piece equivalent to those found in "Avenging Spider-Man" but which, in this case, just happens to be set in the midst of a giant event story.

By design, that makes it a story which is easy to skip, and it's hard to do "character learns a valuable lesson" plots without making them feel trite on some level. Gage doesn't entirely avoid that, but by throwing in some unusual team-ups (Quicksilver!) and going to town on the dialogue, he does manage to elevate the issue beyond fill-in. Soy's art also helps. On "Captain Marvel" it seemed at odds with the character and her style, but here the anime-inspired poses and darker tone fit much better: everyone has urgency piled onto their body language, and the environments look bleak and foreboding.

"Superior Spider-Man" #6AU is not a bad comic. It's even a mostly good one. But the fact that the plot is in a holding pattern makes it hard to love, and there's no doubt that it's the weakest "Superior" issue yet. With that in mind, it can't help but be a little disappointing overall.

The Natalie Reed wiki last edited by Darkside_of_the_Sun on 11/05/13 08:39PM View full history

Born in Brooklyn to Communist Party members Benjamin and Lucille Gurdin, she was raised to believe in the same things as her parents without much choice. Her parents had her join the Miss Young Communist League and this led to a short lived modelling career and even a role in a movie titled Gun Molls in Trouble. She then changed her name to Reed in honour of the American Communist John Reed and then migrated to Russia. While there she became aeronautical engineer and chief designer for the Valentine-Prendergast Airplane Factory. She was a skilled pilot. She became connected to the Blackhawks when she created the design for their modified Grumman XF5F-1 skyrocket plans. Later, while working for Soviet Intelligence, she helped to defeat Death Mayhew, who was plotting to destroy Manhattan and was then dubbed Lady Blackhawk by the press.

Little is known about her post-war life except that she did some more modelling and toured publicly. She was briefly employed at Blackhawk Airways in Singapore. Natalie reappeared shortly after leaving the Blackhawks when she started writing the Blackhawks' licensed comic book adventures, but was framed for putting Communist doctrine into the scripts. She was cleared of this charge.

It is unknown how she lost her eye or who the father of her baby boy is and the files of her current whereabouts have been classified.

New 52

She is a member of the New Blackhawks and is second to only the leader Lincoln. The Blackhawks were on a mission during Darkseid's siege on the planet. They were inflitrating one of the hovering Para-Demon pods for a search and rescue mission of an unnamed lieutenant. A Para-Demon snuck up behind her and plucked her left eye out before she killed him with a head shot. Then then went further into the hold and located the lieutenant and freed her. The lieutenant was then taken control by the Apokalypton technology that was keeping her alive. She quickly defeated the rescue team and called herself Mother Machine.

Plot Summary:

"I Love You Phillip Morris" is the improbable but true story of a spectacularly charismatic conman's journey from small-town businessman to flamboyant white-collar criminal, who repeatedly finds himself in trouble with the law and on the lam, brilliantly escaping from the Texas prison system on four separate occasions - all in the name of love. Steven Russell (Jim Carrey) leads a seemingly average life - an organ player in the local church, happily married to Debbie (Leslie Mann), and a member of the local police force. That is until he has a severe car accident that leads him to the ultimate epiphany: he's gay and he's going to live life to the fullest - even if he has to break the law to do it. Taking on an extravagant lifestyle, Steven turns to cons and fraud to make ends meet and is eventually sent to the State Penitentiary where he meets the love of his life, a sensitive, soft-spoken man named Phillip Morris (Ewan McGregor). His devotion to freeing Phillip from jail and building the perfect life together prompts him to attempt (and often succeed at) one impossible con after another. Told with an uncanny sense of humor and a lot of heart, "I Love You Phillip Morris" is an oddball tale of what can happen when the legal system, a daredevil spirit and undying love collide.

ADA compliance for Memphis Liberty Bowl to cost $12 million

The city of Memphis and the federal government have crafted an agreement that would bring the aging Liberty Bowl into compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act.

The compliance will cost around $12 million, much lower than the $40 million discussed under former mayor Willie Herenton.

According to the proposed settlement, the Department of Justice would promise not to file a lawsuit against the city if certain corrections and additions are made to the 47-year-old stadium.

City officials said they hope to finalize the agreement with the Justice Department by the end of the year.

"I do believe the proposed agreement is a win-win for everybody concerned, first for those who seek fair access to those facilities, and then it's within our means," said Mayor A C Wharton.

Once the agreement is signed, the city will have one year to make the improvements.

The agreement has two essential components:

An addition of 282 wheelchair spaces as well as 282 companion seats to the stadium. Of those, 234 would be installed around the perimeter of Row 25 in the stadium.

Of the other 48, 12 would be installed in sections 102 and 103; 12 more in sections 105 and 106; 12 more in sections 118 and 119; and the final 12 in sections 121 and 122.

Improvements to the concession stands, locker rooms, press box and water fountains also will be made.

Some of those include adding wheelchair ramps, fixing existing ramps, making fountains and faucets easier to reach, fixing signage and lowering the call buttons on the inside of the elevators.

Housing and Community Development director Robert Lipscomb said the city would use Capital Improvement Program dollars to fund the changes, which would be paid back through a Tourist Development Zone. Tourist Development Zones divert increased collections of state sales tax revenues from businesses within their boundaries back into specific public-use projects and facilities. Lipscomb said he hoped to schedule a meeting with Governor Bill Haslam's staff about the TDZ and Liberty bowl in the next 30 days.

Lipscomb was tapped by Wharton in February to bring an end to years of often contentious negotiations and hammer out a plan.

"My role was to repair relationships and move forward with the project," said Lipscomb. "We went in with a different attitude. Sometimes people get fatigued with things like this and I didn't have the baggage or the fatigue."

Lipscomb estimated that roughly 1,700 seats would be lost due to the agreement, lower than previous estimates of 10,000 lost seats.

"There will be some loss of seating, but we think the agreement is a higher calling," he said.

Former City Council member Tom Marshall, principal of O. T. Marshall Architects, said a major factor in the reduced cost of the improvements were technical advancements in construction and engineering that would allow lighter materials to be used on the renovation.

"We're not taxing the existing infrastructure as much," said Marshall.

Louis Patrick, who is in a wheelchair and helped the city craft the agreement, said the proposed deal opens doors for people with disabilities to more freely enjoy the Liberty Bowl.

"This is another opportunity for people with disabilities to engage theselves in the community," he said.

Content is king in digital signage, and that content must be engaging, renewable and offer feedback to clients.

Digital Signage
Las Vegas' Mob Museum engages its audience with an 8x3-foot touchscreen installed by AVI-SPL.
February 18, 2013 By Mark Coxon

As integrators exploring digital signage, you have all heard that “content is king.” It has been commonly accepted as truth, because intuitively we know how hard it is to get and to keep someone’s attention in today’s world.

Creating an effective piece of content can be a challenge in itself. There are a growing number of companies dedicated to nothing but this purpose, but adapting that content over time can be even more of a challenge without the right approach.

In order to provide your clients with digital signage that will continue to be relevant, engaging, and profitable over time, integrators should be delivering content in a way that is easy to update and manage, that is interactive, and that provides feedback.

If you have been in the digital signage arena for any amount of time, you are aware that there are many ways to deliver content to the screen. As integrators, you have seen everything from stand alone solid state media players, to webbased HTML pages, to dedicated PCs, to cloud-based streaming and everything in between. The challenge for many integrators is that there is not one de facto standard to learn and train technicians on. Many integrators have not yet developed the IT skillsets to manage remote PCs or server/client networks and many are still uncomfortable with solutions that rely on internet connectivity for real time streaming of the content.

For this reason, I argue that integrators should be looking for content management systems that utilize dedicated hardware at each screen that plays the content locally to avoid potential issues with web-based page loading or cloud-based video streams. The hardware should have the ability to be updated over the web or via the cloud periodically to adjust and update the messaging as needed. Choosing a system with an intuitive portal that manages the screens and content deployment is ideal if you wish to avoid managing an FTP site and a list of Mac and IP addresses. Finally, integrators should be looking for systems that actively manage the addresses of the player devices in dynamic IP environments, to avoid having to set up static IP addresses or web server protocols for each device.

If we accept that “Content is King”, then “Context” is definitely its Queen. Content can be developed in a way that it provides both a breadth and depth of knowledge or information. However, we all know that some of that content will be more relevant to one person than to another. The days of looping content in a constant playback reel are fading fast. Most people will not stand and watch a content reel waiting to see if there is something relevant that they need to consume. If they catch a portion of content they deem relevant they may stop, but odds are they will not linger while the digital signage makes a lap through the reel to get back to the information that they want.

To truly be a useful tool, digital signage has to be interactive. Interactive digital signage allows the viewer to select the content they wish to consume, and by doing so, to create more engagement and a higher chance that the call to action will be responded to. Interactivity is another reason that dedicated hardware at the screen is a must, as each screen will be interacted with simultaneously in a different way. Providing headroom for new applications, by including multi-touch hardware upfront can also be valuable, as it provides future opportunities for a more engaging interface and to allow multiple users to work in tandem, creating a community around the client’s brand.

Implementing an interactive digital signage solution that provides feedback can take the clients’ investment from a leap of faith to a proven return on investment. Integrators should be looking for systems that can gather metrics remotely, showing what content users interact with (another reason interactivity is a must). This allows the integrator to provide continual information to their clients that is invaluable in tailoring their message and updating content over time. It provides confirmation of what content is relevant to the audience at each screen, and allows the client to address each screen’s audience in a different way to maximize the return on investment in the system. Providing feedback on how people utilize the screen and what content they consume makes you, as the integrator, a true partner in your client’s business and helps them drive revenues.

Sustainable Advantage

What is the new competitive equation? In its recent paper New Bases of Competitive Advantage: The Adaptive Imperative, Boston Consulting Group says “…sweeping changes in the business environment argue for an ‘adaptive imperative’ as a new way of acknowledging and unlocking the dynamic qualities of competition.” Inherent in this adaptive imperative are transformations in strategy that take into account the broader social and ecological contexts of business.  Yet key questions, such as shareholder buy-in and measurement, still remain. Find insights here from renowned thought leaders on these questions and join us in unpacking the new competitive equation at the Commit!Forum 2011.

Egyptian Women Chop Their Locks in Protest of Fundamentalist Constitution

“It’s not our hair which crowns us women; our freedom does”

Dozens of Egyptian women chopped their hair in Tahrir Square to protest the passage of Egypt’s new, fundamentalist constitution—Egypt's first since the overthrow of former President Hosni Mubarak.

Holding up their shorn locks protesters chanted, “A woman’s crown is her liberation!” and carried signs saying, “Your constitution is invalid,” “Don’t you dare try to marginalize the role of women,” and “A woman’s crown is not her hair, a woman’s crown is her liberty.”

The protest was held on Tuesday shortly before the national electoral commission announced that 64 percent of voters in the two-round referendum backed the new constitution; turnout was a scant 33 percent.

"They were upset by the passage of the new, Muslim Brotherhood constitution, and also by reports that fundamentalists stopped some women from going into polling stations to vote in the referendum on it," writes Middle East historian Juan Cole, adding, "They affirmed that they would continue peacefully to demonstrate, rally and camp out until the demands of the revolution were realized."

Daily News Egypt reports:

“Freedom costs a fortune,” Fatma Sherif, one of the organizers of the protest, said, “it’s not our hair which crowns us women; our freedom does.”

Sherif stated that women have been subjected to oppression since the early days of the revolution. She recalled incidents such as subjecting women to virginity tests, dragging them in the streets and stripping them off their clothes to prevent them from protesting.

“In the end, they produce a constitution which doesn’t protect our rights,” said Sherif.

Christians and liberals boycotted the referendum in protest of changes they saw as weakening human rights, particularly those of women, and the possible introduction of a form of fundamentalist Islamic law, AFP reports.

Despite the opposition, the Islamist-dominated Shura Council convened on Wednesday to swear in 90 new members appointed by Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi.

Following the vote, Morsi immediately signed into law the charter, which had been written up by his Islamist allies.

According to Al Jazeera:

The charter gives the traditionally toothless upper house full legislative powers until elections for a new lower house is called within two months.

The upper house of parliament has taken over from Morsi, who had given himself the power to pass laws that led to days of violent protests.

A Conversation: Reefer Sanity - Seven Great Myths About Marijuana

Image - A Conversation: Reefer Sanity - Seven Great Myths About Marijuana
Thu, Nov 7 2013 - 5:30pm

Kevin A. Sabet, Director, Drug Policy Institute, University of Florida; Assistant Professor, College of Medicine, Department of Psychiatry; Co-founder, Project Smart Approaches to Marijuana; Author, Reefer Sanity: Seven Great Myths About Marijuana

Marijuana is the topic of the hour in state legislatures and living rooms around the country. In a historic move, Colorado and Washington recently began their experiment with the legalization of the sale and possession of cannabis for recreational use. And a record number of Americans support legalization. Are we on our way to a national marijuana legalization policy?

Not so fast, says Dr. Sabet, arguably one of the most experienced drug policy advisors in the United States. After serving as senior advisor to President Obama’s drug czar from 2009 to 2011, Dr. Sabet is currently the director of the Drug Policy Institute at the University of Florida. Sabet presents a compelling argument for considering the costs of marijuana legalization, drawn from his almost two decades of research and policymaking in this area. Rather than legalize marijuana or jail people for its use, Sabet contends, a smart approach to policy is required, one based on science, public health, and public safety instead of fear and rhetoric.

The head-scratching saga of Young Thug and his apparent "free agency" continues today, as Billboard reports the Atlanta rapper is still signed to 1017 Brick Squad, an imprint of Asylum/Atlantic Records. A representative of Atlantic recently contacted the magazine regarding their listing of Thug's single "Stoner" on the Hot 100 chart, which at the time had no label provided in its description. According to Billboard, the label is currently pushing the single to radio and requested that Young Thug's "Stoner" be properly credited.

This news comes a few weeks after Thugger announced he was signed to Cash Money Records. That was shortly debunked by a representative of Birdman, who stated there was no deal made between Cash Money and the 21-year-old rapper. More recently, Mack Maine described Young Thug's relationship with their label as close, saying Cash Money has "adopted" the rapper.

Even so, the fact that Young Thug would knowingly make such a proclamation is odd considering his status with 1017 Brick Squad—founded by Gucci Mane, who was allegedly dropped by Atlantic in September—and Atlantic hasn't changed.

In late January, Complex published an interview with Young Thug, in which the rapper was mulling over a possible deal with Future and his Freebandz imprint. What's it like to be the hottest free agent with a deal? Just ask Young Thug.

Complex reached out for comment, but were only given the answer "Yes" to whether 1017 Brick Squad is still an imprint of Asylum/Atlantic.

Abstract—In this paper, we analyze the critical transmitting range for connectivity in wireless ad hoc networks. More specifically, we consider the following problem: Assume <tmath>n</tmath> nodes, each capable of communicating with nodes within a radius of <tmath>r</tmath>, are randomly and uniformly distributed in a <it>d</it>-dimensional region with a side of length <tmath>l</tmath>; how large must the transmitting range <tmath>r</tmath> be to ensure that the resulting network is connected with high probability? First, we consider this problem for stationary networks, and we provide tight upper and lower bounds on the critical transmitting range for one-dimensional networks and nontight bounds for two and three-dimensional networks. Due to the presence of the geometric parameter <tmath>l</tmath> in the model, our results can be applied to dense <it>as well as sparse</it> ad hoc networks, contrary to existing theoretical results that apply only to dense networks. We also investigate several related questions through extensive simulations. First, we evaluate the relationship between the critical transmitting range and the minimum transmitting range that ensures formation of a connected component containing a large fraction (e.g., 90 percent) of the nodes. Then, we consider the mobile version of the problem, in which nodes are allowed to move during a time interval and the value of <tmath>r</tmath> ensuring connectedness for a given fraction of the interval must be determined. These results yield insight into how mobility affects connectivity and they also reveal useful trade offs between communication capability and energy consumption.

High hopes for IBM's iSeries launch

This Article Covers

Data centre

IBM is preparing a major iSeries announcement for the end of March. User expectations are high after a prolonged absence of any news about the former AS/400 range.

Nicholas Enticknap.

The iSeries is the only IBM server platform not to be refreshed since the eServer branding was introduced last October. As a result, users will be keen to see whether the company has addressed two obvious weaknesses: the inability to support Linux and the primitive support for storage area networks (San).

IBM promised a year ago that Linux support would come to the iSeries, as it has to all its other servers, but the company has added nothing to that statement since. Ray Titcombe, chairman of the IBM Computer Users Association and an AS/400 user, said, "They are falling very short of the mark in terms of taking up Linux."

So far, IBM has said only that the iSeries will support the Linux kernel in a secondary logical partition on selected models. Presumably that means the more powerful 800 series models, or their replacements.

The decision to run Linux in a partition is interesting as it is a different approach from the way IBM supports Windows NT/2000 on the iSeries. This is achieved by installing a separate processor which runs NT co-operatively with OS/400 within the box. This plug-in card has been known by a variety of names - until recently the Integrated Netfinity Server - but, following the launch last week of the 850MHz version, is now called the Integrated xSeries Server.

This form of NT support has proved popular, with one in five iSeries models being shipped with at least one plug-in card, up to a maximum of 16.

IBM has been promoting the range as an ideal vehicle for NT file and print server consolidation. As Linux servers are increasingly being used for these relatively simple applications, it makes sense for IBM to make the same push. An iSeries server can have up to 24 partitions, one per processor.

Independent analyst Phil Payne said he is not convinced that IBM will announce Linux for iSeries in the March launch. But Titcombe believes it will definitely harm the credibility of the iSeries if IBM does not announce Linux support soon. "In the longer term, it will definitely put the box at a disadvantage," he said.

With Sans, IBM has good reason either to introduce support now, or to delay doing so indefinitely. There are factions in IBM fighting both corners and it is not clear whether the pro-San lobby will win.

Currently, an AS/400 or iSeries can only be attached to a San using a SCSI adaptor, which offers a prehistoric level of performance and limits the distance between the server and the San storage to a maximum of 25m. This is a consequence of IBM's decision in the mid-1990s to move disc storage under the covers. The stated reason was to improve performance; the effect was to kill off the plug-compatible competition.

As Titcombe put it, "If it makes the AS/400 open-ended, a lot of other suppliers' products will go into those accounts. It doesn't have to be much - anything less than 100% means IBM is losing out. So, while acknowledging that users are pressing IBM to introduce San support, I don't think that will happen now."

Payne agreed, and added that IBM's San strategy is being driven by its software subsidiary Tivoli which is weak on AS/400. "I'd wait for a Tivoli commitment to the platform before expecting anything," he said.

Tony Lock, senior analyst at Bloor Research, takes the opposite view, "I would not expect IBM to try to hold back the tide," he said.

He pointed out that IBM has been concentrating on adding features such as capacity upgrade on demand and probably wants these capabilities to be available on all platforms, including the iSeries. "I would expect them to do anything they can to enhance their capabilities in the storage area," he said.

Editorial review

This book is about Weird and Odd things, people, situations & happenings. It's a fun and interesting way to find out about the world we live in, how things came to be, and where we're heading from there. The words Weird & Odd are general words which basically mean, out of the ordinary, unexpected, different, unreasonable, unacceptable, gross, un-uniform, shoddy, questionable, and any number of words that denote a change from normal and expected routines. This brings us to another point. Looking at it from a different perspective, normal and routine are not the same for every person. What's weird for one person may be normal for another, and what's routine for one may be odd for the next. If you're a bit confused that's o.k. This is a book of confusion based on Weird & Odd revelations.

These crosswords deal with odd & weird laws, geographical queers, strange customs and traditions, funny oversights, questionable decisions, famous & weird people, and many other things that are not commonly known about different areas around the world. Most of the fun is in knowing these weird oddities even exist. You'll find yourself asking questions like; “Where did this come from?”, “Who thought of this?”, & “Why?” Some examples are: Animals that can sleep for three years, Control of bodily functions & organs, Surprise ingredients contained in products, Weird happenings & phenomenon's in nature, Things you inherit from parents & relatives, and Spectacular records & accomplishments.

These are only a few of the odd and wonderful things you will find out about various parts of the world while working these crosswords. I guarantee you will not be bored because the puzzles are brisk, crisp, and illuminating. This fun & informative book of crosswords bring the weird and odd from around the globe right to your doorstep.
