The University of Toledo Department of Art Faculty Exhibit, "Transitions & Journeys," transforms Gallery Space with Lighting, Shadow, Imagery
"Transitions and Journeys" is a two-person exhibition of artwork created by UT Art Department Faculty members Arturo Rodríguez and Deborah Orloff, while they were on sabbatical during the 2008-2009 school year. It will run October 11 through November 22, 2009. An opening reception will be held Friday, October 16 from 6 to 9 p.m. in the UT Center for the Visual Arts.
Rodríguez is an associate professor of art in printmaking and director of the printmaking area. Orloff is a professor of art and teaches and coordinates photography in the new media area.

For this exhibition, the artists utilize the CVA Gallery and extend the show into the public space of the first floor. The gallery will be transformed into a dramatic darkened space to create a unique visual experience in which the works themselves provide the only light in the gallery.
In the gallery, Rodríguez's hand cast shadow puppets are reminiscent of childhood games while his video installation evokes dream imagery projected in water. He says his work is rooted in himself and the fact that he is a unique and uneven mixture of elements from Cuban and American cultures—not really a blend, but not fully one or the other either.
"In my mixed media prints, I like to take images that one might find on the walls of an 'average American home,' and combine them with some of my earliest visual memories about the United States: cartoons. For me, this way of working is akin to culture in Cuba itself and to a lesser degree Cuban-American life in Miami.
"In working with this disparate visual imagery, I become aware of compositional problems that are inherent when working with two distinct visual realities. As a result my aim is to 'morph' the works into a symbiotic whole. Scarcity and imported imagery are part of the motivation in the work. For me this way of working constitutes an accurate metaphor for Cuban aesthetics."
Deborah Orloff's life-size scaled projection situates the viewer in her elusively shifting landscapes. In the auxiliary space adjacent to the gallery, viewers can see Orloff's large-scale photomontages from her Holzwege series as well as recent mixed media prints by Rodríguez.
In describing her work, Orloff says, "I create ambiguous landscapes through the layering of multiple photographs. I combine the images digitally to create surreal, new spaces where one photograph disappears into the next.
"These invented landscapes function as metaphors for the universal experience we all have inevitably, when our lives suddenly change; just when you think you know where you're going, unexpected circumstances dictate a change of plans.
Ultimately the images are meant to be ethereal and optimistic, conveying the sense of wonder that exists when we open ourselves up to new possibilities and realize that change is often fortuitous."

A Royal Naval patrol vessel has returned to its home base for the final time after spending 12 years on patrol around the Falkland Islands.
Sailors and crew of the HMS Clyde have taken part in a decommissioning ceremony for the 13-year-old vessel before it is turned back over the BAE Systems for its future life in Brazil.
Family and friends of the 40-strong crew lined the quayside at Portsmouth Naval Base to welcome home their loved ones following their deployment on board Clyde.
Commander Simon Pressdee, commanding officer of the Fishery Protection Squadron, said: 'It has been a real privilege to welcome HMS Clyde home today after what has been the longest Royal Navy deployment in modern times, achieving over 12 years forward-deployed to the South Atlantic.

The return trip to Portsmouth marks the end of the Navy's lease, as it will soon be returned back to BAE systems to be stripped of personal items, and then sold on to the Brazilian navy
'During the period, over 800 members of the squadron have served in HMS Clyde, experiencing the southern oceans for over six months at a time, providing many of them with unique and special memories from an outstanding part of the planet.
'Her decommissioning this afternoon will remember all those who have served in her before we hand over this workhorse of the fleet back to BAE Systems who have carefully supported her throughout her deployment.'
HMS Clyde offshore patrol vessel
Launched: 2006
Armaments: A 30 mm DS30B gun, two miniguns, five general purpose machine guns. Also holds a Merlin-capable flight deck
Top speed: 21 knots (39 km/hr)
Range: 5,500 nautical miles (10,200 km)
The HMS Clyde was the first ship to be entirely built at Portsmouth Naval base for 40 years upon its completion.
Until recently it had been on patrol of territorial seas and monitored airspace around the Falkland Islands.
The Clyde was designed and built by BAE Systems and is leased and operated by the Royal Navy, while the company provides maintenance and logistical support to the vessel.
Her only time off station during this period was in 2017, when she was dry docked in South Africa for maintenance.
The return trip to Portsmouth marks the end of the Navy's lease, as it will soon be returned back to BAE systems to be stripped of personal items, and then sold on to the Brazilian navy.
A Navy spokesman said: 'Some of the current crew have been with the ship for about nine months but most for about six months, the standard tour length before handing over to the relief crew.
'Having seen about 25 crew handovers over a dozen years, HMS Clyde will now be stripped of personal belongings and prepared for her handover to BAE Systems for the next phase of her life.'
In January 2011, the government of Brazil denied HMS Clyde access to Rio de Janeiro in solidarity with Argentinian claims over the Falkland Islands sovereignty dispute, as Uruguay had done with HMS Gloucester the previous September.
Clyde's role patrolling the Falklands will be taken over by HMS Forth, which is currently en route through the Atlantic Ocean.
The Forth was commissioned into the Royal Navy in April 2018, following a ceremony at Portsmouth. However in June 2018 it was announced would be entering dry dock for major rectification work likely to take more than three months.

Prior to its commitments in the Falklands, HMS Clyde's replacement HMS Forth recently monitored the Russian warship 'Vasily Bykov' as passed through the English Channel and Dover Strait
The Royal Navy reactivated HMS Tyne to cover planned patrols by Forth, with BAE Systems covering the additional costs.
Anderson Smith, BAE Commercial Director – Naval Ships, said at the time: 'There were a lot of minor defects and we hold our hands up to that the OPV programme was about the regeneration of shipbuilding capability on the Clyde.
'In due course we can look back at it the positives, although it doesn't feel like it at the minute if I'm looking at it from either a customer or a sales perspective, it found we had some shortfalls in some of our processes. We have now fixed them.'

Time for our patented, highly secret and never filmed happy dance. Why? In honor of Do Xao, the new album from our favorite band from Turku, Finland. We have followed The New Tigers enthusiastically for many years, and they have always rewarded our faith by releasing good music. The latest edition, which to our ears is their best ever, is a joyous, glistening guitar pop triumph. Eminently danceable, with shimmering arrangements and robust bass lines, it features the best of '90s and '00s indie pop influences (and sly veins of '70s soft rock and '80s new wave). The band dove into studio based production and multi-tracking, resulting in a Crayola box of musical colors and layers. And just when you think this is the most structured set of songs from these cool northern cats, they bust out a track like "Three Shadows", which makes one suspect that The Beta Band invaded Turku. This is music saturated with joy and fun, which makes it just about irresistible.
For Do Xao The New Tigers are Appu Jasu, Janne Kauppinen, Valtteri Virtanen, with some contributions on drums from Waltteri Katajamaki and Leif Elverstig. The album is out today in CD and digital formats via Soliti Music.
One of our favorite New Zealand bands is the trio known as Death And The Maiden. Combining reverbed guitars and synths with enchanting and darkly colored vocals, they weave a spell which is seductive, although slightly unsettling. Wisteria, their latest album, will be available soon but they have provided a glimpse of the gems within via album track "Ooooh Baby In The Chorus". "Ooooh Baby in the Chorus" is available now as a digital download. Wisteria is available April 27 in New Zealand and Australia via Fishrider Records, and UK and Europe on May 11 via UK label Occultation.
Death And The Maiden are Lucinda King, Hope Robertson, and Danny Brady.


Here's what I learned: pumpkin butter is fabulous – I love it! I use it in yeasted bread with rosemary, on pancakes with maple syrup, and as a sauce for pizza topped with gorgonzola, caramelized onions, & arugula.
Pumpkin butter should no longer be home canned according to the new USDA ruling due to its density that makes it difficult to guarantee an internal temperature of 240˚F. There is still a chance of botulism because of this. Better to be safe than sorry.
But that's okay, because we are striving for foods sold fresh or frozen here at Echo Valley Farm. Why go to the trouble to grow all these gorgeous fruits and vegetables and then completely cook away all the nutrients?
Pumpkin butter is pumpkin purée from roasted sugar pie pumpkins that is blended and cooked down over low heat until it is thick. I add agave nectar, honey,ginger, all-spice, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, cardamom, salt, a little apple cider vinegar to give it some character and lemon juice to help preserve the color. I add all this to taste.
Understanding the yield of pumpkin to purée is more helpful than an exact recipe: 10 pounds of sugar pie pumpkins (about 3 medium size pumpkins) yields about 2 quarts of roasted pumpkin purée.
To roast pumpkins, simply cut in half and scoop out seeds. Place flesh down on a baking sheet and cook at 400˚F for 30 minutes or until they are very soft. Scoop out flesh and blend up with just enough water to help it along. Cook purée down for at least 20 minutes on low heat stirring constantly until it is very thick and reduced to about 1 1/2 quarts. Add sugar (or agave, honey, maple syrup, or brown sugar) and spices to your liking and intended use.
I made a chinese five-spice pumpkin butter once that received interesting polarized responses on the farm. Now I tend to stick with the spices mentioned above or add herbs from the garden like sage, thyme, or rosemary.
I'm still cooking Cinderella pumpkins from October. I have one large one left. It's probably going to bread and more pumpkin lasagna.
wow! sounds delicioso.:) pumpkin is absolutely a great tasting food and at the same time nutritious.

Google's Automated Image Captioning & the Key to Artificial "Vision"
Miguel Leiva-Gomez
It's no secret that Google has been getting more active in research in recent years, especially since it re-organized itself significantly back in 2015. On 22nd September 2016 it announced the open-source release of a piece of software that can detect the objects and setting of an image to automatically generate a caption describing it. Of course, it doesn't have the same level of creativity as human beings do in creating the prose within the captions, but the image encoder otherwise known as Inception V3 should have captured attention for reasons that transcend the superficial "look at the captions it can make" motive. Software like this, in fact, may be a stepping stone towards something greater on the road to more advanced artificial intelligence.
Eyes Can See, but Intelligence "Perceives"
Artificial sight has been with us for more than a century. Anything with a camera can see. It's a very basic sort of thing. But even a blind man can surpass the camera's understanding of what it is looking at. Until very recently, computers were not able to easily and accurately name the objects found in pictures without very specific parameters. To truly say that a man-made object has "vision" would mean that it at least has a concrete ability to specify what it is looking at, rather than just simply looking at it without gathering any context. This way, the device could potentially react to its environment based on sight, just like we do. Perception is an absolute necessity. Without it, every sense we have is useless.
Perception Through Automatic Image Captioning
Although we generally believe that every picture is worth a thousand words, Inception V3 doesn't necessarily share that opinion. The automatic image captioning software has very few things to say about what it sees, but it at least has a basic concrete understanding of what is contained within the frame presented to it.
With this rudimentary information we have taken a step towards the ability of software to understand visual stimuli. Giving a robot this kind of power would allow it to react to such stimuli, bringing its intelligence to just under the level of most basic aquatic animals. That may not sound like much, but if you take a look at how robots are doing right now (when tested outside their highly restrictive parameters), you'll find that this would be quite a leap in intelligence compared to the amoebic way in which they can perceive their own surroundings.
What This Means for AI (And Why It's Far From Perfect)
The fact that we now have software that (with 93 percent accuracy) can caption images means that we have somewhat overcome the obstacle of getting computers to make sense of their environments. Of course, that doesn't mean we're anywhere near finished in that department. It's also worth mentioning that the Inception V3 was trained by humans over time and uses the information it "learned" to decipher other images. To have true understanding of one's environment, one must be able to achieve a more abstract level of perception. Is the person in the image angry? Are two people fighting? What is the woman on the bench crying about?
The above questions represent the kinds of things we ask ourselves when we encounter other human beings. It's the kind of abstract inquiry that requires us to extrapolate more information than what an image captioning doohickey can do. Let's not forget that icing on the cake we like to call an emotional (or "irrational") reaction to what we see. It's why we consider flowers beautiful, sewers disgusting, and french fries tasty. It's something we are still wondering whether we will ever achieve on a machine level without actually hard-coding it. The truth is that this kind of "human" phenomenon is likely impossible without restrictive programming. Of course, that doesn't mean we won't stop trying. We are, after all, human.
Do you think that our robot overlords will ever learn to appreciate the intricacy of a rose petal under a microscope? Tell us in a comment!

THE SAME STORM (Closing Night Film – East Coast Premiere)
Philadelphia Film Center
Friday, October 29 (6:00 PM and 8:30 PM)
Director Peter Hedges
Inventively filmed during lockdown, THE SAME STORM is an ambitious, open-hearted response to the upheavals of 2020. Taking loose inspiration from the classic structure of the 19th-Century play La Ronde, the film consists of interlocking vignettes, usually featuring one character who also appears in the next sequence. But in this quarantine-era production, each vignette consists of a video call, often recorded on a phone or tablet. We watch as families divide across political lines while trying to hold together their parental love. Lovers quarrel about the impact of race on their relationships. Parent-teacher conferences build unusual tensions when done from home. Funerals take unexpected turns over Zoom. In the hands of any other filmmaker, these narratives might feel weighty and "too soon," but with Hedges at the helm, they are handled with such humor and humanity that we are enwrapped in the mini dramas. Reminiscent of Robert Altman's Short Cuts which drew upon the writing of Raymond Carver, THE SAME STORM finds the nuggets of relatability through tiny glimpses of the lives of ordinary people. The result is a collection of tour-de-force performances, elegantly brought together to create a moving, insightful group portrait of our modern history.
CAST: Sandra Oh, Mary-Louise Parker, Elaine May, Noma Dumezweni
Friday, October 29 (6:45 PM)
Director Brandon Kramer, Subject Doug Copenhaver, Subject Louis Reed, local criminal justice reform leaders La Tonya Myers and Nellie Fitzpatrick
Activist and political commentator Van Jones, who's perhaps best known for his impassioned address labeling Donald Trump's election a "whitelash" on live TV on election night 2016, might seem an unlikely candidate to bridge the gap between deeply divided political parties. Yet that's exactly what happened in the years after the election, when Jones teamed with Jared Kushner and other unlikely allies in a bipartisan push for prison reform. A proud progressive used to being labeled a "radical leftist" in the conservative media, Jones now found himself the target of scorn from the left. Director Brandon Kramer follows Jones throughout this stormy period, as he continues to fight for the passing of the First Step Act while navigating the heated, contentious climate of the Trump years. With Jones as its center, THE FIRST STEP offers a sweeping portrait of a fascinating moment in recent American history, with activists and reformers debating the benefits and potential pitfalls of seeking common ground at a time of high stakes and high tensions.
PFS will require masking as well as proof of vaccination at the Film Center & PFS Bourse.

Frankenstein, National Theatre
Author: Everything Theatre in Reviews, West End 3 March 2011	2 Comments 304 Views
Nick Dear, adapted from Mary Shelley
Directed by Danny Boyle
Courtesy of National Theatre
Danny Boyle's return to the London theatre scene has been much talked about. Looking at the list of cast and creatives it is easy to understand why; the Oscar winning director coupled with the increasingly popular Benedict Cumberbatch the much admired Jonny Lee Miller begun turning heads as soon as it was announced. The question on everybody's lips with these 'big name' productions is always the same: will they live up to expectations? Or perhaps more acutely, will the production be enjoyed by audiences because it is a good production, or because it is filled with celebrity names? With these questions in our head, our outing to see Frankenstein was approached somewhat apprehensively. On this occasion, we were not disappointed: the production is outstanding.
Nick Dear's adaptation is a good one. At first it is a bit slow, but it picks up in the middle as Victor Frankenstein is introduced, and the last hour is compelling stuff. On occasions, the dialogue feels a little unnatural but Dear's penning of the Creature is excellent, and the nuances and contradictions of modern life shine through clearly as 'it' attempts to come to terms with human society. Additionally it is the evolution of the Creature which drives the plot forwards, as you see its wide-eyed and endearing innocence gradually vanish to be replaced by a cruel and brutal monster.
The quality of Dear's script is enhanced by extraordinary performances by Cumberbatch and Lee Miller, although the supporting cast came across as slightly flat. On the night we saw it, Cumberbatch played Frankenstein and Lee Miller the Creature. However, this is one of two possible combinations, as the two actors will alternate between the roles. Cumberbatch was, as always, a strong stage presence and his delivery of the egotistical loner Victor Frankenstein was spot on, creating a character that the audience admire, loathe and pity simultaneously. However, the show was stolen by Lee Miller, whose portrayal of the Creature was world-class. Working to the strengths of Dear's script, Lee Miller successfully creates a tortured and inhuman character which the audience cannot fully comprehend. This is an extraordinary achievement – some actors struggle to come to terms with human characters, let alone reanimated corpses!
Mark Tildesley's design is innovative and in places awe-inspiring. The Olivier is a cavernous venue, and many a designer has failed to properly get to grips with it. The set is huge yet intimate when it needs to be, and in addition the theatrical techniques employed are cutting edge yet remarkably simple. On a couple of occasions the scenic changes were somewhat clunky, but given the savage, almost industrial nature of the play, this could easily have been deliberate. Furthermore they were neatly covered by the terrifying original score of Underworld. Most memorable is the huge mirror above the audience, covered with hundreds of light bulbs. When on full power they create a harshly lit and uncomfortable environment as the audience are blasted with a wave of dazzling light and intense heat. This is just one of the many theatrical devices used by the design team to create and maintain a mutli-layered, sinister atmosphere throughout the performance.
Frankenstein is an ambitious and unique piece of theatre. It brings together outstanding direction, utterly exhilarating stage and lighting designs and wonderful performances. To fully appreciate its complexity, it is certainly necessary to see it twice, if not just to see Cumberbatch and Lee Miller swap roles in what promises to be a hugely interesting theatrical experiment. Perhaps most importantly, Frankenstein once again raises the bar for theatre around the world. In a scene dominated by long running musicals and over-performed dramas we come to rely on places like the National Theatre to take the risks that have driven theatre forwards for generations. The National is a global treasure, and one of a few things that Britain can be truly proud of in the modern day. Long may it continue.
Frankenstein runs at the National Theatre until 2nd May 2011.

During adverse weather conditions, it can be very tempting to leave your car unattended while you run into the store or in this case a pizzeria to quickly grab and go. As the owner of an Audi Q7 learned the hard way, this unsafe practice can sometimes have dire consequences.
On January 27, 2013, the owner of a 2007 Audi Q7 contacted the Newark Police Department to report that his vehicle had been stolen. The customer told police that he had left his car running while he ran into a pizzeria to pick up his order, but when he returned for the vehicle, it was missing.
The Newark Police Department verified the theft and entered the vehicle information into the state and federal crime computers, which automatically activated the LoJack Stolen Vehicle Recovery System concealed in the 2007 Audi Q7.
A short time later, a police officer from the Newark Police Department picked up the silent homing signals coming from the stolen Audi Q7 on the LoJack Corporation Police Tracking Computer installed in his patrol vehicle. Following the directional and audible cues from the computer, the officer tracked the vehicle to the Iron Bound section of Newark, where the vehicle was recovered parked and undamaged. Another happy ending thanks to LoJack Corporation and local police.
The LoJack Stolen Vehicle Recovery System was installed in the 2007 Audi Q7 on November 9, 2012 at Park Ave Acura in Maywood, New Jersey.

AARON JUDGE WRAPS UP SOPHOMORE SEASON WITH MLB'S MOST POPULAR PLAYER JERSEY
Altuve, Báez, Betts Surge in Popularity;
Acuña Jr. is Youngest to Make the List
Many of the Major League players with the most popular jerseys will take the field during the Postseason, which begins next week with the National League Wild Card Game presented by Hankook on ESPN Tuesday night, October 2nd.
New York Yankees All-Star outfielder Aaron Judge, who will lead the club into the Postseason on Wednesday, October 3rd in the American League Wild Card Game on TBS, will finish the 2018 regular season with the League's most popular player jersey for the second consecutive season. This is the second consecutive season that Judge finished with the most popular player jersey. Houston Astros All-Star second baseman José Altuve, whose Club starts its World Series title defense in the American League Division Series presented by T-Mobile on Friday, October 5th on TBS, will end the year with the second-most popular jersey amongst all players. Altuve leaped 11 spots in these rankings after finishing his 2017 American League MVP season with the 13th-most popular player jersey in the Majors.
Following Judge and Altuve in the top five on the list, released jointly today by MLB and the MLBPA, are rising stars and MVP candidates Javier Báez (#3) and Mookie Betts (#5), each of whom rose seven spots from last year's rankings.
Part of this season's influx of new, young faces to the most popular jerseys list is 20-year-old Atlanta Braves phenom Ronald Acuña Jr., who began the season as MLB Pipeline's #2 prospect. Acuña Jr., who made his Major League debut on April 25th and ultimately played a key role in leading the Braves to their first National League East title in five years, becomes the youngest player to make the top 20 list since MLB and the MLBPA began releasing rankings after the 2010 season. All-Star slugger Giancarlo Stanton (#9), Red Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi (#16) and 2017 World Series MVP George Springer (#17) join Acuña in making the top 20 for the first time in their careers while leading their Clubs into the Postseason. Rookie standout Shohei Ohtani (#8) also makes his first appearance on the list, bringing the average age of those five newcomers to 25.
The list is based on sales of Majestic jerseys from MLBShop.com, the official online shop of Major League Baseball, since Opening Day 2018. Major League Baseball and the Major League Baseball Players Association have released these rankings since 2010.

Europe's monetary authorities hold the money continues to be cheap. The key rate in the Euro area remains at a record low of zero percent, as the Council of the European Central Bank (ECB) decided in Frankfurt. Some economists are expecting in view of the increasing risks to the economy now that the ECB will wait with the first increase in interest rates up to the year 2020.
As the Outlook for the overall economic development deteriorated. The experts of the International monetary Fund, for example, expect not a crisis, but less growth than in the past year in the world. With a view on the European economy ECB President Mario Draghi's speech last week in EU Parliament in Strasbourg as a "slowdown, not is heading for a recession, but it could take longer than initially expected".
Economists in the DZ Bank spoke last skeptical: "Given the subdued cyclical dynamics of the basic price pressure in the European economy should remain weak." This could delay the efforts of the ECB to monetary policy normality, or even nip it in the Bud.
In December, inflation slowed in the currency Union: The consumer prices according to Eurostat data, by 1.6 percent above the level of the previous month. The ECB aims over the medium term, an inflation rate of just below 2.0 percent.


Racing season is upon us at the Dacotah Speedway. The green flag waved for the first time since last August and race fans were not disappointed as almost 120 drivers hit the high banks on Friday, May 1st. The track saw a record breaking opening night attendance and those fans were treated to some great battles for the lead as well as some amazing three and four wide racing.
A 10 lap IMCA Sport Compact feature was the first feature of the new season. Jason Berg and his Days of Thunder tribute car started on pole however, Kody Stoxen slipped by on the start to take the lead. Berg and third place Josh Roehrich kept pace with Stoxen while Alex Thompson tried to hold off Chase Schlafmann for fourth. Schlafmann would overtake fourth place from Thompson but Thompson rallied back to challenge for position just before getting loose in turn four, which allowed Brandon Anderson to grab fifth place with five laps to go. When Roehrich got loose in turn two, Schlafmann blew by for third but Roehrich battled back. They raced side by side for several laps until Roehrich retook third place with one lap to go. Roehrich held off a last lap charge to finish third ahead of Schlafmann as Anderson finish in fifth. Kody Stoxen led all 10 laps over Jason Berg to win the first feature of the year.
After a WISSOTA Street Stock concy and two IMCA Modified concies, a 15 lap hobby stock feature hit the track. Pole sitter Wyatt Rath-Wald of Napoleon led the race early. His cousin Jaren Wald, also from Napoleon, quickly challenged Rath-Wald for the lead. They raced side by side while Nathan Messer and Jeremy Engelhardt race door to door for third. Wald took the lead before a lap five caution re-set the field. On the restart, Engelhardt passed Rath-Wald for second and was all over Wald's bumper for the lead. With seven laps to go, Engelhardt slipped by Wald to take the lead, leaving Wald to contend with Rath-Wald for second. They raced side by side for several laps but with three laps to go, leader Engelhardt over drove turn one, dropping from first to seventh. Wald and Rath-Wald were now battling for the win and continued to race side by side until Rath-Wald powered into the lead with one to go. Rath-Wald held off his cousin for the feature win, his second career win at the Dacotah Speedway. Last year's Hobby Stock track champion Brent Vetter finished third, ahead of Keith McCleary and Nathan Messer.
Scott Gartner and Zach Frederick started on the front row of the WISSOTA Street Stock feature . Third place John Weber Jr. took it three wide for the lead but lost control of his car, spinning in turn four and bringing out the caution. Gartner and Frederick battled for the lead on the restart while Shawn Volk, Dustin Frank and Matt Brendel raced for third. Gartner held off Frederick for the lead and started to pull away from the field. Frederick fell into the clutches of Volk and Brendel and they raced hard for second. Brendel shuffled into second and pulled away while Frederick and Volk had their hands full with fifth place Dustin Frank hot on their heels. Using the high line around the track, Frank muscled by both Frederick and Volk. With eight laps to go, Frederick got loose allowing Eric Harpole to fly by for fourth. Harpole one of the quickest cars on track, quickly caught third place Frank and passed him with seven laps to go. Lapped traffic became a problem for leader Gartner which helped Brendel catch the leader in a hurry, however, Brendel ran out of time as Gartner led all 20 laps to win. Eric Harpole finished third as Dustin Frank and Zach Frederick rounded out the top five.
Last year's INEX Legends track champion Donavin Wiest picked up where he left off by pulling away in the INEX Legends feature. Young Troy Hoff passed pole sitter Drew Papke for second and quickly ran down leader Wiest. Hoff took the lead on lap three but Wiest regained the lead the following lap. Third place Tom Wagner had his hands full trying to hold off a fast Casey Martin. Martin would grab the position and catch second place Hoff. They briefly raced side by side before Hoff closed the door, hurting Martin's momentum and allowing Wagner to challenge for position. They raced hard for third, but contact with five laps to go gave Papke the opportunity to sneak by and take fourth from Martin. Wishek's Paul Morman challenged Martin for fifth and coming out of turn four, coming to the Open Road Honda finish line, Morman narrowly edged Martin by inches to take fifth place. Papke finished fourth behind Wagner as Donavin Wiest went on to win the feature by nearly a second over second place Troy Hoff.
Spencer Wilson was in a class of his own in the IMCA Modified feature. Starting on the pole, Wilson distanced himself from the field and it was a race for second as Tyler Velo tried to hold off Jeremy Keller on the start. Keller would take second from Velo, bringing Marlyn Seidler with him. A lap 12 caution regrouped the field and on the restart Seidler slipped by Keller for second before another caution slowed the pace again. Brad Hanson grabbed third from Keller on the restart and challenged Seidler for second before yet another caution re-set the field. Cautions were the down fall for Keller as he lost a several positions to last year's track champion, Shawn Strand and Mark Dahl with seven laps to go. However, cautions didn't phase leader Wilson as he was able to pull away yet again on the final restart with six laps to go and win the feature in dominating fashion. The wily old veteran, Marlyn Seidler, finished second ahead of Mike Hanson while Shawn Strand held off Mark Dahl for fourth.
Up next on the high banks of Dacotah Speedway is the Starion Financial, Hirsch Floral & Gifts Mother's Day race. Front gates open at 6 and the green flag flies at 7pm.

This mild winter here in northern Virginia has me all befuddled. I think we got one day of snow and winter coats seemed so optional this year outside a handful of days. I scoffed at good ol' Phil's prediction of 6 more weeks of winter because, well, what winter?! And although below freezing temperatures aren't something I exactly want, their absence has made spring fever come a little early this year. My son brought me a wild flower growing yesterday and the mix of emotions hit me pretty hard.
Yay, the first herald's of spring!
Well, I'm indulging in my fever induced state by starting to think about decorating for the outdoors. It's totally fine. I think I can get away with it this year. Paint brushes are power tools are good every season.
Confession time: you might remember this welcome sign from my spring refresh but I never showed how it came to be. First, I stained it with some leftover stain that I had from staining my son's art display. I used my silhouette cameo to make the double layered letters.
Tip: If you don't have a silhouette, DecoArt has 3 inch letter stencils that are great. For larger letters, you can buy wood letters like these from a craft store and either trace them or attach and paint them for a quick project.
I painted the letters in Americana Multi-surface Satin in Sky Blue. You can still see the edging of the letters in the stain.
On the reverse side, I recently added the Believe text for Christmas time! I used the new line from DecoArt called Curb Appeal. It's specifically for outdoors and fade resistant. The bold red color is perfect shade of red for my little wood sign and I don't have to worry about it fading or cracking outdoors.
If you are looking for more project ideas on how to use these fabulous craft paints, I am joining with several talented DIY ers who share my love of paint and power tools. Check them out!
I would love to win this. I want the brights. I have a lot of things I got at a yard sale that need painting.
Oh, I bet you found some fun things at yard sales. Good luck!
I love that you made it 2-sided, great idea!


The Global Dialogue Forum on the Needs of Older Workers in relation to Changing Work Processes and the Working Environment in Retail Commerce was held at the International Labour Office in Geneva from 21–22 September 2011. The Governing Body of the ILO had approved the convening of the Forum at its 304th Session (March 2009). Based on the agreed points of discussion, the Office prepared an Issues paper 1 to serve as a basis for the Forum's deliberations.
The purpose of the Forum was to examine the relationship between the needs of older workers in the context of an ageing population and the labour requirements of the retail sector. The Forum also recognized the dynamic context influencing retail services, including such factors as globalization, e-commerce and evolving technologies.
The Forum was attended by Government representatives from Angola, Austria, Barbados, Brazil, Egypt, El Salvador, Islamic Republic of Iran, Japan, Jordan, Lebanon, Malaysia, Mongolia, Mozambique, Philippines, Poland, South Africa, Thailand and the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. Nine Employer and 14 Worker participants also attended the Forum, as did representatives of the International Organisation of Employers (IOE) and the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC).

Hail and Farewell
Sep 12, 2022 Monroe Historyevents, peopleBasketball, Bobby Knight
Tales of the H-T: Stories taken from or inspired by material in the Herald-Times archive at the
Monroe County History Center.
By Rod Spaw
Photo taken Sept 13, 2000 by Jeremy Hogan. Part of the H-T photo collection.
The image is surreal. The figure of a woman, blonde and tan, floats on a sea of bobbing heads against a green backdrop. She is wearing bikini bottoms and a white T-shirt with a large red heart drawn upon it.
Upon closer inspection, what at first seems like a mirage is more likely a life-size cutout of "Baywatch" actress Pamela Anderson being hoisted above a mass of humanity by unseen hands. Zooming in on the T-shirt reveals its complete message: "I (heart) Bobby."
The place is Dunn Meadow. The date is Sept. 13, 2000. It is Bobby Knight's farewell appearance three days after he was fired as coach of the IU men's basketball team.
Behind the camera is Jeremy Hogan, who that week has made hundreds of photographs on the Bloomington campus for the Herald-Times newspaper. This one is unlike all the others, but it also is representative in a way. It has been one long, strange trip for the young man from California who until that time had not been exposed to the full passion of Hoosier Nation.
"That photo looks like maybe a lighter moment in what was a tough period in the history of IU basketball," Hogan said recently. "But I honestly don't remember making that photo."
What he does recall is the ferocity of support for the beleaguered coach who was fired on Sept. 10, 2000, by IU President Myles Brand for violating the terms of a "zero-tolerance policy" set for his continued employment. It was the last act in a drama that had been unfolding for months around Knight's pattern of behavior during 29 years as the IU head coach.
Hogan, a 1997 graduate of San Jose State University, had worked at the H-T only for a couple of years. He hadn't photographed IU basketball to any extent, and although aware of the coach's famous volatility – and great popularity — it was not something he had given much thought.

"IU basketball wasn't really on my radar not being from here," said Hogan, who worked for the H-T until 2019, and now runs the independent Bloomingtonian news website. "I could see that fans were really into it. It was a real subculture of American sports, or as some said, a religion."
When news of Knight's dismissal hit campus, people began to march, and Hogan followed, taking photographs all along the way. The H-T later estimated that 2,000 protestors – mostly students – took to the streets that day. They marched to the President's House and burned a dummy in effigy; they waded into Showalter Fountain and removed the dolphin sculptures; they marched into Memorial Stadium and toppled the south end zone goal posts. They stood in front of Assembly Hall until Knight emerged sometime after midnight on Sept. 11 and asked them to go home. More than 200 IU, Bloomington, Ellettsville and Indiana State Police were on hand to watch them.

"I grew up in Southern California during the 'Showtime Era' of the Los Angeles Lakers, and that team was run so professionally," Hogan said. "I never heard of Pat Riley throwing a chair or choking anybody. So coming from mellow Southern California, the IU fans were from another planet."
For Hogan, it was a "really weird" introduction to IU basketball.
"I mean, these kids were basically rioting over a coach, and I hadn't seen that many Indiana State Police since I photographed a riot at a Grateful Dead show in 1995 while interning for the Indianapolis News," he said.
Knight had promised supporters outside of Assembly Hall that he would meet with them again in a few days. He did so on Sept. 13 in Dunn Meadow. The Indiana Daily Student newspaper sponsored the appearance, which drew thousands of IU fans who came to hear their coach and to cheer him one last time. Hogan was present, too, documenting the event with his cameras, even if one person in the crowd didn't appreciate it.
"I do remember covering Bob Knight a few days after he was fired in Dunn Meadow, and a man threatened to 'put my cameras in the mud' over and over while standing behind me. I finally turned around and told him that the gear didn't belong to the newspaper, it belonged to me. I had to buy my own gear, and if he touched my gear, I was going to put him in the mud," Hogan recalled.
Knight's farewell lasted about 20 minutes, according to the H-T's coverage the next day. The coach thanked students for their support over the years and asked that they continue to support the basketball team. He praised IU as a great university, with many more good people than those "who have an agenda that doesn't include students."
Then, with a wave of his hand, Knight turned and walked into IU history, the moment captured forever with a click of Jeremy Hogan's camera.
