Hi Ross,
The house was really GREAT! It was well equipped with everything you could think of, including boogie boards! We had a wonderful vacation and would not hesitate to rent the home for our next San Diego trip! Thanks for everything,
We had a lovely stay at this 4 bedroom house by the beach. House was well appointed and especially enjoyed having all the necessities for a beach vacation for both adults and kids - wagon, sand toys, bodyboards, wetsuits, etc. Everything you need for a plug and play beach vacation. The house's proximity to both the beach (5 minute walk tops), train station and Legoland for the kids was ideal. Nice and quiet neighborhood and the kids loved hearing and seeing the train. House was definitely newer construction and nice to have the modern amenities like gas fireplaces, gas firepit, new kitchen, built in BBQ, etc. Owner was very helpful on everything during booking process and throughout the stay. Looking forward to returning!!
In a nutshell, this is a lovely home, extremely well equipped for nearly anyone's need. Our family of 7 adults and 1 toddler spent our Christmas holiday here and loved our stay. Roscoe and his team have thought of everything. We walked to the beach, took our toddler for his first train ride, and mostly enjoyed being together in the roomy living areas. The pool table was a fun activity, and the kitchen was roomy enough for two or three adults to work at once. My only suggestion when renting any home, is if you are going to cook, bring your own knife. We also bring our own pillows, but we're picky. Everything worked well and was in great condition. This home is well cared for.
We highly recommend this home for a family stay, and hope to stay here again.
We stayed at this property for a week and it was fantastic. The owner was easy to work with, responded to inquiries, and getting into the property on arrival was easy. All of the amenities were perfect for our children and it was in a great location. Close to everything, but far enough away to feel as if you were still in a home neighborhood.
Property was in first class condition, clean and everything worked. The beach was a short 2 block walk down a very long set of stairs. Our family had wonderful reunion. Would come back again.
Great family entertaining home. The guys enjoyed the flat screen while playing pool and us mom's had fun roasting marshmallows in the courtyard fire pit with the kids. Nice to not worry about the teenagers driving, they simply walked to the beach. We also especially enjoyed the ability to walk to the San Diego Coaster for an view trip to Gas Lamp District for dinner and shopping (didn't have to worry about a designated driver) !! The garage was filled with tons of toys, games, foosball but the message table was an added bonus..House was very clean and lots of kitchen cookware. Will be back for the winter holiday.
We come to Carlsbad every year to be at the beach for my son's birthday. The last couple of years we have friends that have joined us since our son is getting older. This house was so much fun for the kids and us, the beach, the fire pit, the pool table, the train close by. They could get up and surf every morning if they wanted to. We walked the beach every morning and evening. The owner went above and beyond to help us to have a great vacation. The house was perfect in every way! It really should be 10 stars!
Private custom Home. 5 minutes to Lego Land, Lots of Golf, 15 minutes to Del Mar Race track, 25 minutes to Sea World, 1 minute to Starbucks, 1 minutes to beach and Sand.

Louisville is the largest city in the state of Kentucky and one of the 30 largest cities in the United States.

Among the most popular events in Louisville is the infamous Kentucky Derby. Kicking off during the month of May, the Kentucky Derby is preceded by the Kentucky Derby Festival. The festival hosts a number of various parades including a hot air balloon parade and the Pegasus Parade which is considered to be one of the largest parades in the United States.

Louisville is a city that is famous for horse racing and Southern culture. But, just like any city in the United States, Louisville is a city that takes college sports very seriously, especially college basketball and football. In fact, football in Louisville is such a big deal among college students that rivalries between students of two universities carry on way past their college days. The Louisville Cardinals is the football team of the University of Louisville and the pride and joy of the university. The team has been classified by Sports Illustrated as the 5th top college football teams in the United States. No wonder why Louisville football tickets are selling out like peanuts! The Cardinals continue to fascinate its ever-growing fan base by setting a number of college football records. Many of these have yet to be matched by their adversaries. The most recent of these records was made in 2006 as being the college football team to have the most consecutive bowl game appearances. As if this was not enough for them, they had taken home the Big East and Orange Bowl Championship titles in the same year.

Fifa should punish those sides who withdraw players from international friendlies says Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger. Clubs continue to pull their key men from international duty, only to then call upon those stars when domestic action resumes days later.
"It would be very interesting for Fifa and Uefa to make a study of players who have not played in any national team and who will play on Saturday or on Tuesday and Wednesday in the Champions League," said the Frenchman.
"That would be the interesting thing to see.
"I just think it's a sad situation that a friendly game was before games five and six in the Champions League and before important league fixtures.
"Many players have pulled out because this friendly is very badly positioned.
"We've never withdrawn any player. Our players, unless they have a big injury, we send them.
"We ask them to be cautious with them, especially in friendlies - and this usually happens with national teams because they are not crazy.
"The rules exist. If players are injured and did not play the game before, they do not have to report for the game.
"If the player has played in the game before, you have to send them to get examined by the doctor and they decide if a player comes back or not.
"Theoretically, if you do not play in the national team, you cannot play in the game after in the championship - that is the rule. That is why we always send our players.
"You have to ask the question is the fixture wrong or are the players wrong? I say the fixture."

Mr. Kendall co-teaches with Mrs. Sanders every Wednesday. For some sessions challenging extensions of current concepts are presented so that all students have the opportunity to take on the challenge problems, not just students who are identified as gifted in math. During other sessions, identified gifted students and other high-ability students are pulled out of the classroom to work with Mr. Kendall so that they can take on more advanced challenges in different units while other students are instructed at a pace that allows for more practice problems to assure mastery. The students who are pulled out are selected based on pretests for a given unit or consistent high-level performance on class assessments.
December: Students worked on a variety of multi-step word problems and discussed problem-solving strategies to tackle future problems of similar type.
Early January: The students working in pull-out groups with Mr. Kendall in January have tackled a multi-step word problem that asked students to create a shopping list for gifts to family members, calculate the sales tax for each gift, and then calculate a combination of jobs they could do to earn sufficient funds to purchase all of the gifts.
Week of Jan. 26 through end of February: The primary enrichment activity for late January and February is the Hands-On Equations pre-algebra program (www.borenson.com ).
Challenges sessions in March included extensions of geometry concepts, including calculation of slope and creating designs for packaging that used the least amount of surface area. Students also discussed the business and environmental impacts of packaging.
Mr. Kendall may visit each of the sixth grade reading classes to present a lesson from time to time throughout the year. Mr. Kendall has worked with students from both of Mrs. Mayo's reading classes as well as Mrs. Smith's 6th period reading class, using a story called "Gaston" from the Junior Great Books Series. The lesson objectives are as follows:
Learning About Literature Circles
The first 3-session series introduces students to "Literature Circles." Most of the discussions are modeled full-class, but the second 3-session series in each class will put students in charge of their own Literature Circles. In these small groups students learn to direct their own discussions of a piece of literature as they take on different assigned roles within the discussion group. The role definitions are:
1) "Discussion Director" - responsible for leading the discussion by calling on all members of the group to report their findings and through the creation thoughtful discussion questions; the discussion director also surveys group members about other issues they may wish to discuss.
2) "Summarizer" - presents a summary that clearly identifies key events from the poem, short story, or chapter of a novel that lead us to new understandings about individual characters, relationships between characters, plot events, or major themes.
3) "Passage Master" - responsible for selecting 2 to 3 passages for discussion that represent critical moments in the piece of literature. If a particular passage is confusing, that can be one of the Passage Master's selections so that students in the Literature Circle can pool their ideas and try to come to a better understanding of the passage. Teachers are available to assist students while they discuss, but they are to encourage students to try to sort things out on their own first before giving too many hints.
4) "Word Reporter" - responsible for looking up unfamiliar words, finding definition and synonyms and creating sentences that put the word in a helpful context that peers in the Literature Circle can understand.
Students perform different roles in the literature circles each time they are used.The next story will be "Raymond's Run" by Toni Cade Bambara.
Other mini-units used in previous academic years have included the following:
Lessons in "Reading" Art
These lessons explore the connections between reading literature and "reading" art. Students view several artists' depictions of the Icarus myth. They identify what moment in the story the artist had selected to focus on, explain the focal point of the painting, and label the painting with an appropriate theme word (e.g. despair, failure, sympathy, triumph, etc.). Students were asked to support their opinions and theme selections with evidence from the painting.
Students also read poems that commented on some of the paintings and were asked to explain how one poet's "reading" of an art work differed from another or from their own "reading" of the same painting.
Other broad questions discussed:
1) How does society treat individuals who "fly for the sky" and push the limits of existing knowledge or technology?
2) How can another person's perspective change your "reading" of a piece of literature or a piece of art work?
3) What can art do that literature cannot?
4) What can literature do that art cannot?
Lessons in Critical Reading of the News
Mr. Kendall will visit each of the sixth grade reading classes to present lessons that encourage students to be critical thinkers when the encounter the news media. Students will learn about different types of news, the difference between news stories and feature stories, and the differences between news stories and editorials. Students will be introduced to the concepts of newsworthiness, bias, and objectivity. We will discuss the "business" of news (how news media outlets make money and how advertising influences the news) and the differences in credibility between traditional news organizations and blogs. We will also discuss how technology has changed the way we access the news and how it is presented to us.

Senate Immigration Reform Bill should help shippers
"Gang of Eight" legislation enables foreign graduate students to remain in U.S. after receiving advanced degree, raises H-1B visa cap
in the NewsKnight-Swift to add 400 trucks, drivers with Abilene tuck-in acquisition Panjiva says trade fundamentals are strong, despite concerns over tariffs NEXT Trucking and Mitsui O.S.K. Lines partner to service SMEs Solving the Labor Shortage Crisis: The Four Benefits of an Automated Warehouse CBRE research points to expected gains in cold-storage warehouse space More News
The Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA), representing U.S. leadership in semiconductor manufacturing and design, has applauded the introduction of bipartisan Senate legislation that would reform America's high-skilled immigration system by allowing graduate students born outside the United States to apply for a green card and remain in the U.S. after receiving an advanced degree in a science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) discipline from an American university, and by expanding the H-1B visa program.
This should be supported by shippers in all sectors of the high tech arena.
The Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act of 2013 was introduced by the bipartisan "Gang of Eight" – Sens. Michael Bennet (D-Colo.), Richard Durbin (D-Ill.), Robert Menendez (D-N.J.), Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), Jeff Flake (R-Ariz), Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) – and now awaits action from the Senate Judiciary Committee.
"For too long, America's outdated high-skilled immigration system has been an obstacle to U.S. innovation, job creation and economic growth," said Brian Toohey, president and CEO, Semiconductor Industry Association. "The Gang of Eight legislation marks a critical and long-overdue step toward fixing this broken system so that companies in the U.S. semiconductor industry and throughout the broader technology sector have access to the best and brightest minds from around the world. SIA commends the bipartisan group in the Senate for developing this compromise legislation, and we look forward to continuing to work with leaders in Congress to improve the bill further throughout the legislative process."
The legislation would exempt from the green card cap foreign nationals who graduate from an American university with a master's degree in a STEM field or a Ph.D., allowing these students to apply for a green card and remain in the U.S. after receiving their advanced degree. Under current law, many of these students are forced to leave the U.S. after graduation, causing the U.S. to forfeit much-needed jobs and expertise to our competitors abroad.
The bill also would expand the H-1B visa program for highly educated workers who want to fill open jobs in the U.S. Earlier this month, the U.S. government reached the H-1B visa limit within one week of accepting applications, illustrating the overwhelming demand for skilled immigrant workers in the high tech community.
Additionally, the legislation would ramp up efforts to increase the number of American STEM graduates by raising employer green card fees to generate revenue for strengthening targeted STEM education programs.
"The country's need for highly skilled and educated workers has never been greater, and the time for meaningful immigration reform is now," said Toohey. "This legislation helps move the ball forward; now we must work together to get high-skilled immigration reform over the goal line."

This was a sketch I wrote back in December. I decided to revise it a little today, and this is the final result... :/ This is actually sorta personal, by my standards at least.
A Cherry Red Gibson
His room said it all. I saw it a few years ago, when I went to his younger brothers birthday party. There was a cherry red Gibson SG leaning haphazardly on the wall. His parents bought for him in a desperate attempt to find something he was interested in. He played it once, and when he found that he couldnt play a single note of Stairway to Heaven, he gave it up. In another corner of the room, buried under dirty laundry was an easel with an unfinished painting of what appeared to be a train station. When he decided art didnt suit him either, he turned into a coat rack.
He tried a lot of things in that last mad rush to find his calling. He tried football and broke his wrist; he tried acting and broke his heart when he was cast as a horse. And he tried writing, and was ousted from his schools newspaper when he attempted to submit an article entitled Cannibalism: Morally Bankrupt, or the Future of Conservation? Nothing seemed to suit him, and he was quick to give up on his interests, perhaps to hastily.
It wasnt a matter of intelligence. That was a fact his younger brother stressed every time the subject of Adrian came up among our friends. He did well in school and his grades were a source of pride to his younger brother in the years prior to Adrians graduation. He used to be a source of awe to us; a glowing example of what we used to think was growing up.
He thought a lot, and maybe that was why the job as a fry cook at Burger King he got when he dropped out of college was perfect for him. It wasnt a job that required much effort, and so while flipping burgers he would dream.
I cant imagine all the things he mustve thought of. When my friends and I would meet there for lunch, wed see him in the kitchen behind the counter, staring off into space and preparing food in autopilot.
His younger brother would always scold us for staring at him. Stop it guys, hed say, I hate how you guys have this strange obsession with my brother. We did bring him up often because of how frightened we had become of ending up like him. His younger brother was scared too, and when he felt that he was failing, hed hide his face under a hood.
I got some insight on all the things Adrian thought when I went over for dinner one night. He talked a lot during dinner, maybe too much, because his father would grow red, his hand tensing on his wine glass, and his mother and brother would become nervous. He never seemed to notice.
He always talked about his future. The future that everyone, including him, realized would never come. Hed go on about how he planned on getting rich, and how he planned on finally meeting a woman who understood him. His future would change often, his younger brother would tell me during the rare times he was willing to talk about Adrian. The whole get rich, get married thing is pretty consistent, hed say, but every thing else is a variable. It depends on what his interest is at that moment, and that changes twice a week. But he plans it all out, right down to some noble death.
He played entire lifetimes out in his head. Each one of them was absurd, but for some reason, he seemed to be content with this. For a while, his parents were relieved to know that Adrian was looking forward to a future, but when it became clear that nothing was to come of it, they only lost more hope in him.
I remember the day he came home from college, completely unannounced. It was a Tuesday, and I was with his younger brother, playing the games we used to play then. His family was visibly surprised, but he didnt seem to notice. College isnt right for me ma, he said. And then he burst into tears. For the few hours that remained before his father returned from work, his younger brother and his mother poured sympathy over him.
His father was furious, his younger brother would say over lunch the next day. He demanded that he get a job immediately, which was what brought Adrian to Burger King. He was happy though, being able to flip burgers and just daydream all the lives he wanted to have. Even when his parents finally kicked him out of their house, he was happy. He seemed to have some strange fascination with simply being alive that was good enough for him. That hed never go anywhere and that hed never be anything more than a fry cook never seemed to faze him.
Thats why I felt guilty when I bought his SG for one hundred dollars at a yard sale when his parents kicked him out. It was obvious that he didnt know the value of the guitar. The price he originally asked for was much less. When I went up to him to buy the guitar, I told him Id give him a hundred dollars for it, and somehow I felt like I was shoveling dirt into a grave.
Its only fifty, he began, but stopped. Yeah, one hundred sounds good.
I mustve looked strange, walking down the street, holding a case-less guitar by the neck. I felt strange too. I felt that by not paying the thousand dollars the guitar was easily worth, I was dooming him to a life on the streets. It was inevitable though. No one could make a living with minimum wage, at least not in that town.
Its for that same reason that I shouldnt have felt better when I saw him working at Burger King later that week, when I met with my friends (his younger brother refused to come for emotional reasons). It was very likely that he would soon be evicted from whatever apartment he was living in soon, but he still smiled. He stared off into space as he always did, and was daydreaming about how great his impossible futures could be.
I told his younger brother that he was happy later that day. He glared at me for a moment, with a confused looking expression on his face. But it seemed to make sense to him as he thought about it. I dunno, he said, I guess if hes happy its alright.
That cherry red SG leans haphazardly against the wall of my room. I daydream about it, and all the impossible futures I wish I could have.

We are so wrapped up in our SMP FilmFest this month that we really want to keep going this weekend! If you've missed ANY of our LBB Blog features this week, now's the time to grab a cup of your favorite and curl up in front of the big screen for a bit. SO many wedding styles. SO many cinema styles. SO many WORDS that deserve to be heard over and over again!
images by paul and mecheal johnson
There's no better inspiration than this short film from Joanna and Robert at Diva Productions!
Got 'ya smiling, didn't we!
We are sharing brief snippets of wedding films this week. Mostly to spotlight some of the terrific filmmakers in our Little Black Book, but also to continue to encourage all of you to FIND room in your budget and FIND that special cinematographer out there who will capture all of your unforgettable moments. We really want to point out, though, that these are but glimpses into a full wedding film. Once you begin interviewing videographers, you must have a clear understanding of what kind of film you want... romantic, edgy, documentary, quirky... the list of options are boundless.
Joanna at Diva Productions writes a regular column for Gulf Coast Bride. In one of her articles she shared a lot of her own personal insights in "What you need to know ... About Hiring A Wedding Filmmaker." WISH we could reprint the whole article! A few highlights from her article (in addition to what we've already pointed out) ~ Any videographer can put together a great three minute highlight. Do your research. Know what kind of fully edited film each cinematographer you interview puts together. Know what kind of wedding film suits YOUR personality and style. Meet with them and be sure you mesh. Have a clear understanding of what kind of memories you want to have and be sure your videographer does too.
One other thing that Joanna discusses in the article is that with her couples, the guest interviews are 'hands down' the favorite part of their films. That might come as a shock to those of you who have had a microphone thrust in their faces at a wedding with the question, "Would you like to say something to the bride & groom?" (I know I cringe and hide when I see a video camera coming towards me!) But that's where a seasoned cinematographer steps in. A filmmaker skilled in the "art of the interview." It IS an ART. Joanna gives advice to filmmakers in another article written for POSH about this (HERE)! She has a passion for documentary-style films and works hard to make the interview process ~ a breeze! We don't want to steal any more of Joanna's thunder, so we'll just urge you to read the full articles in *Gulf Coast Brides and *POSH.
From the happiest of brides ~ today's beautiful bride, Lori ...
Justin and I met in 2000 at the University of Alabama where we were both freshmen. We instantly became friends. Yes, I may have had a little crush, but tried very hard to keep that quiet! Justin is very carefree, he is always smiling, just a very happy-go-lucky - fly be the seat of his pants kind of guy, and I am the complete opposite. I am always stressed out about something, and I am overly organized and have to 'have a plan' about everything. We have always picked on each other, and always balanced each other out.
For 8 years, we went to ball games, the beach, the lake, parties, the mountains, concerts, - you name it, we did it together! FINALLY, we started dating on the 4th of July in 2008. He proposed to me May 9, 2009 at the University of Alabama where we met! In front of Denny Chimes to be exact. I immediately tackled him - I don't think he ever really got the words "will you marry me" out before I just involuntarily jumped on him. I was screaming and doing cartwheels on the quad. It was the best proposal ever!!
I have ALWAYS wanted a pink beach wedding - since I was like 4 years old. There was never any question. And my sweet husband allowed me to have my dream wedding......even though he had to wear pink! I didn't necessarily want the entire ceremony & reception on the beach....I just wanted beach wedding pictures. Even before I met Justin, I was always looking for places.....just in case 'the big day' ever came. A while after we started dating, I was working a wine tasting, and met a girl there who had told me she was getting married at Carillon Beach, FL. Justin & I had talked about getting married, but I didn't have a ring on my finger just yet. I immediately went home that day and looked Carillon up on the internet and saw pictures of the Meeting House, and knew that was where I would get married one day. So picturesque, such a gorgeous place. I started investigating it a little bit more, and noticed that their calendar was full, and steadily filling up. Justin & I had discussed when our wedding should be - not hurricane season, not football season, no winter months, no months where it is too hot, etc. So that left a short window of opportunity. There was 1 weekend that was not booked in May...the weekend of May 29th, 2010. I immediately told Justin, "Look, I have got to book this place before someone else does...I know we aren't engaged yet, but we have got to book this now!!" So we scheduled a time to tour, and Victoria so kindly penciled me in for that date, and we both fell absolutely in love with everything Carillon had to offer, as well as Victoria & Avis! We booked the venue in April and were engaged May 9th.
Justin & I are huge bama fans, and so were the majority of the guests. So we named each table at the reception after landmarks in Tuscaloosa & coaches. (table Saban, table Bryant-Denny Stadium, table Denny Chimes, etc.). And since the wedding was @ Carillon by the beach, I used starfish to tie the name cards on with pink ribbon. We also had a pink signature drink that is called "hop, skip & be naked", but we renamed it "hop, skip, and be married."
We asked Lori if there were any particular wedding vendors she'd like to give special thanks to. This is her response:
All of them! The cakes were like nothing I had ever seen before- Confections on the Coast did a superb job! Justin wanted the National Championship Trophy for his cake, and they actually made it look EXACTLY like the real thing! And our wedding cake was a pink sea-shell themed cake that was incredible. Couldn't have asked for anything better! Townsend Catering did a FANTASTIC job with the DELICIOUS food, and the bartending was excellent! Everyone was so nice and friendly! And Diva-Productions was delightful to work with- Joanna was so sweet, and I barely even knew she was there! She got AMAZING footage that we can't stop watching! Amazing job!! Paul & Mecheal Johnson did a fantastic job with the photography- breathtaking pictures, and they were so flexible and easy to work with. Fran Bullock did an outstanding job with the ceremony music, and Christina from Nouveau Flowers made my dreams come true with all the pink flowers and tablecloths every where you looked!! I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw what an extraordinary job she did! Truly melted my heart. TGK did a remarkable job on our starfish invitations! Everyone I talked to said they had never seen an invitation so original and pretty. What I have always wanted!! Of course Victoria & Avis were above and beyond perfection- we never had to worry about a thing! They took care of everything! And of course Chaplain Harry Houseman who had everyone laughing and having a wonderful time during the ceremony!! We plan to take our children to him for their Christening!! Todd Sparks & Conch Republic band was AWESOME! Played every song we requested and then some!Everyone I worked with was amazing. Such a fabulous experience!!
And what does she remember the most? Oh wow!! So many!! I can't pin-point just one. When the Meeting House doors opened & I saw Justin there staring at me- BREATHTAKING!! Seeing how gorgeous the reception was set up - how it exceeded my wildest expectations & dreams - I will never forget that feeling. And our time on the beach for pictures- the weather was perfect and the sky was so gorgeous. Couldn't have asked for anything better. Conch Republic playing Sweet Home Alabama & everyone dancing on the dance floor...priceless!! The whole night will always be a vivid memory of mine. I think I was the happiest bride there has ever been!

The Second Sun - Poem by Joseph S. Josephides
I return from the Space,
having knowledge as my navigator and compass,
stripping the sin and what is connected with it,
without myths. For when I turned once the glob with Vern,
they told me I gained a day, on reverse I would lose one.
Am I a day younger, without knowledge of a day more?
How would I be a day older, without a lie of a day more!
Come in Belem to explain, when the fourth rain starts.
Unexplained is that God sheds light but we stay idle in dark,
when dropped bombs transform our cradles into graves.
You on the moon, Neal, did you conquest or worship?
Knowledge lives not in a doll-house with internets,
nor is afraid of asphyxia in chamber of optic fibers:
Light, the Second Sun of Heraclitus, the knowledge,
a ray warming the head in dry cold. I gain its baptism
surely, if only I knew and worked on what I don't know;
what I suffer helps me learn so as not to suffer anew.
Due to Light, my Sun bends to the berry tree in our yard
to paint her green, chlorophyll over and over, fiber by fiber,
to ensure food for the silkworm doing the silk of wisdom
to glitter in vast space, a chrysalis through the eternity.
For without wisdom, Andre Malraux,
how the twentieth century can stand?
How the twenty-first can even exist?

NEW JERSEY—The Mercer County Improvement Authority (MCIA) is working with the West Windsor Campus of Mercer County Community College (MCCC) to install a solar energy project, which the school will use for academic opportunities.
The energy output of the 8-megawatt solar project will provide real-time data that will allow students to conduct cross-disciplinary studies of the benefits of alternative energy and sustainability.
"We are excited about the multiple ways in which this solar project will foster academic opportunities for MCCC students," said Dr. Guy Generals, vice president for academic affairs. "Such learning opportunities will break new ground in community college education, preparing students for a world that is moving further away from expensive, dirty fossil fuels and closer to clean, renewable sources of energy."
In addition, the system will benefit students by allowing the college to re-channel savings on energy costs, among the college's highest operating expenses, back into college programs and services that were cut because of budget constraints.
The ground-mounted solar array will offset approximately 70 percent of the college's West Windsor Campus annual electricity usage, saving about $750,000 annually on electricity costs. The project will be built on 45 acres within a 67-acre parcel of currently undeveloped land owned by the college on the east side of the campus.
The ownership of the project has been structured as a lease-purchase agreement. The title owner is the MCIA; the MCIA and MCCC have entered into a 15-year lease with SunLight General Mercer Solar, which will offer energy from the project to MCCC at a discounted rate of 3 cents per kilowatt-hour, compared to the 14 cents per kilowatt-hour the college currently pays to its local utility.
The lease transfers all burdens and benefits of ownership to SunLight General Mercer Solar, including the right to sell energy to the College.

HPC Processors – Greater Performance over Traditional CPUs
As the need for more GPU computing power changes every day, more researchers are trying to make use of different technologies to improve the performance of their code. In the early years, the "GRAPE" special purpose "computer" was developed by the University of Tokyo in 1989. Since then, the MD-GRAPE cards have won multiple Gordon Bell prizes.
The biggest problem with these cards were the price. When graphics processors began supporting floating point operations, people began running matrix and vector calculations on GPUs which were less expensive and more available. Today, many vendors such as Intel, NVIDIA and AMD have furthered this technology, and many researchers have ported their code to run on these processors to gain performance in the HPC market.
NVIDIA has been at the forefront of accelerator computing with their GPGPUs. By creating the CUDA library, NVIDIA was able to jump ahead of their competition in the accelerated GPU server space. In the past, the GPU performance was bottlenecked by the PCIe interconnect. Today, NVIDIA's Pascal architecture uses SMX2 which enables NVLink interconnect for a high-speed bidirectional bandwidth which is five times faster than PCIe.
Intel has gone the other direction and made their "accelerator," bootable. With the Knights Landing (KNL) platform, users can now purchase servers without a traditional CPU, but use the KNL as the main processor. Like the GPU, the KNL runs best with code that has been vectorized and can make use of many CPU cores. While each KNL CPU core is not as fast as a traditional Xeon E5-2600 v4 series CPU, the core count allows for better performance for codes which can make use of them. Not to be outdone by NVIDIA's NVLink, KNL will be able to directly connect to the Omni-Path Architecture network fabric.

This article series is already from 2012 and I'm pretty sure I'd write plenty of stuff differently today, but I'm still very fond of this rather comprehensive analysis of the art direction, visual language and themes or the masterpiece that is Arkham City.
It covers character design, environmental storytelling, architecture, semiotics basics, juxtaposition, working with themes. All is done through the examples of Batman, the Joker, Two-Face and of course Gotham itself, garnished with plenty of references and sources.
To celebrate the release of Arkham Knight – EVEN THOUGH IT'S NOT AVAILABLE ON ANY CONSOLE I OWN!!! – I released the original 5 articles and a bit of bonus writing in one handy PDF.

In a rally to commemorate Earth Day, about 25 environmentalists and members of the Moapa Band of Paiutes gathered outside Southern Nevada Health District offices Friday to protest the board's previous approval of an application to expand a coal-ash landfill near the tribe's reservation.
They said they want the health district board to rescind its Oct. 28 action and deny NV Energy a permit to expand its landfill at the Reid Gardner Generating Station, 50 miles northeast of Las Vegas, when the board meets Thursday. The existing landfill is 91 acres and has no barrier to keep contaminants from leaching into groundwater. The expansion would be 24 acres and have a single-layer barrier against leaching.
At the rally, Southern Paiutes said they continue to experience respiratory problems and other health effects from coal-ash dust that blows on windy days from the plant's existing landfill and evaporation pond operations. They also fear long-term pollution of groundwater that feeds the Muddy River.
"It smells like rotten eggs," said 21-year-old Ashly Osborne, holding a sign: "Big Coal and Big Oil Make Us Sick," as she stood in front of the health district building on Shadow Lane.
Another woman complained of the rotten-egg smell from hydrogen sulfide gas that emanates from the ponds. It stems from a liquid used to extract an air pollutant, sulfur dioxide, from the plant's stack.
"Our great-grandchildren will be affected by this," said Eunice Ohte.
In a telephone interview from the Western Environmental Law Center in Eugene, Ore., attorney Daniel Galpern said, "We are requesting that the board revisit its initial decision (to expand the landfill) in light of the fact that they were under a misunderstanding about the evidence regarding the risk of the landfill."
Galpern, representing the Sierra Club, said the board was misled by NV Energy's claim that toxic leachate from the landfill would be insignificant when the board voted 8-4 to approve the company's application.
Some information wasn't available at the time of the vote, and computer modeling of plant's existing and proposed landfill shows the amount of contamination that could be released is substantial, he wrote in a letter Wednesday to board Chairwoman Linda Strickland. Millions of gallons of leachate per year could enter groundwater, the Muddy River and eventually Lake Mead, Southern Nevada's primary drinking water supply.
NV Energy released a statement Friday saying its coal-fired Reid Gardner Generating Station "maintains a fully-compliant" landfill.
The statement from NV Energy spokeswoman Jennifer Schuricht notes that expansion of the Class III industrial waste storage area was granted last year and next week the health district staff will update the board "and detail the operating conditions and requirements to be implemented by NV Energy for this expansion."
In a letter Tuesday to the health district and board members, Galpern said a review of reports the company provided after the October vote with data plugged into a hydrologic computer model "clearly establish that substantial — indeed, enormous — quantities of leachate have been generated within the landfill and will continue to be generated there, and to migrate to groundwater."
"These unlawful and significant discharges may threaten vital local and regional water resources. The NV Energy-supplied information counsels you to order a full stop to development at the landfill, both present and future operations," Galpern wrote.
Coal-ash waste disposed in the landfill contains a number of harmful and toxic chemicals, according to the Sierra Club, including arsenic, selenium, lead, mercury and hexavalent chromium linked to organ disease, cancer, respiratory illness and nerve damage.
At the Oct. 28 meeting and open-house venues prior to the vote, members of the Moapa Band of Paiutes told board members and the health district's staff that the 312 Paiutes who live on the reservation have experienced a myriad of health problems that they blame on fine particulate matter from the plant and its landfill.
"You should come out and look at it on a windy day. It's killing us," Paiute Eric Lee said at a meeting in Moapa.
Others said particles sometimes come down on their homes like snowflakes.
Charles H. Norris, an expert for a geology and hydrology consulting firm in Denver, detailed the landfill's pollution potential in a 25-page report that was sent Friday to the health district board.
He found that active operations will produce 3 million to 46 million gallons per year of coal-ash leachate migration to the groundwater and the closed landfill will produce 1.2 million gallons per year of leachate that enters the groundwater during the life of a protective liner system and 1.6 million gallons per year after that.
In his report, Norris said NV Energy needs to show what impacts of the landfill expansion will be as required by Nevada law.
"Only after that is done can the board review the demonstration to determine whether the proposal will, in fact, prevent degradation of waters of the state. But, not yet. The applicant has yet to do its job," Norris wrote.

ED GORDON, host:
Nearly a year after Hurricane Katrina, the city of New Orleans is slowly returning to its old self, at least in one regard.
Crime is on the rise in the Big Easy, and commentator Jimi Izrael, for one, is relieved that things are getting back to normal. He says the return of the cities criminal element is evidence that the underlying problems in New Orleans haven't been addressed; and crime is a reminder that Mayor Ray Nagin and the city's leaders will have to work a lot harder to ensure a better future for low-income residents.
When New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin said that the Big Easy should be a chocolate city because God wanted it that way. Many people reacted with shock and dismay. Commentator John McCann wasn't bothered so much by the idea of a chocolate crescent city. He was more disturbed by Nagin's attempt to read God's mind.

Another game against the Ottawa Senators, another trip to the dentist for Jaromir Jagr.
Jagr was hit with an accidental high stick to the teeth from Erik Karlsson during the second period, causing him to chip a tooth. He left the game for repairs, but would return. (See the play at the top of this post.)
The craziest part is, pretty much the same thing happened to Jagr during the Florida Panthers' December matchup against the Senators, when he was struck with a high stick from Alex Chiasson.
Jagr lost his two front teeth from that December incident, but didn't hold a grudge.
For his part, though, Jagr has got some revenge on the Senators. He's scored two goals against them Thursday night. Hey, that's one more goal the the amount of teeth he's lost this evening!

Two Plasma Fusion Nourishing Serum Foundations (choice) - 1 oz each
Two Plasma Fusion Blush in "Pink & Stormy" & "Pink Bellini" - 0.2 oz each
One Dream Finish High Definition Blurring Powder - 0.28 oz
One Plasma Fusion Illusion Brush
Put your best face forward! Your best face is achieved with this Plasma Fusion collection. Treat and cover your skin with the gorgeous, dewy finish from the foundation and give your cheeks a kiss of color with the blushes. Finish it off with the powder and let your face glow!
Made in the USA; Powder and blush made in China
Please see the Usage & Ingredients tab for how to use and ingredient information.
Applying Foundation
1. Always start with clean hands and a freshly cleansed face.
2. Apply your day moisturizer (preferably one that contains an SPF). Next, you can apply a primer for a smoother base. This is an optional step, but one worthy of considering for a more youthful appearance. A few drops of primer will smooth the appearance and texture of your complexion, as well as fill in fine lines - the perfect base for your foundation. It also helps to extend the longevity of your face and eye makeup, prevents eye shadow from creasing, and maintains an overall fresh appearance for as long as you wear your makeup.
3. Allow the moisturizer and/or primer to absorb a few minutes before continuing on to the foundation application. If necessary, you might want to blot any excess moisturizer with a tissue.
4. Address your under eye circles, shadows and imperfections with a concealer. Pat it on with a light finger so that it blends well.
5. You may use your fingers, a foundation brush or makeup sponge to apply the foundation. First, apply a few dots of your preferred liquid foundation to your nose, forehead, cheeks and chin. Continue to blend while avoiding a heavy application to the jawline and hairline (also known as a line of demarcation).
6. Once the foundation is blended, use either a translucent powder or one that matches your complexion to set the foundation. This also serves to absorb oils that cause your face to shine.
7. If you want a more natural look or have great skin, you can simply address specific areas that require coverage by applying your foundation to precise spots or areas. If you want to wear foundation that looks exceptionally natural and dewy, consider a tinted moisturizer. They're considerably sheer, yet provide a little coverage for uneven skin tone.
Choose a blush color that mimics the color of your cheeks when they're flushed from the cold, you've exercised or have blushed. You can also use your lip color as a guide. Blush can be applied before foundation for a subtle hint, but it's usually applied after foundation and face powder.
Cream vs. Powder vs. Gel
This is a personal preference, but usually powder suits combination and oily skin, whereas cream works well with dry skin. Tinted gels and liquids are outstanding for oilier skins.
Using a professional grade blush brush, run the bristles over the pan of makeup, shake off excess powder and apply to the apples of your cheeks. Blend if necessary. If you're using a gel or cream based blush, use your middle finger and highlight the apples of your cheeks. Blend well.
If you need additional color across your face, apply bronzer to the bridge of your nose, forehead and chin.
The key to purchasing bronzer is to choose a color one to two shades darker than your skin tone. If you have an extremely light complexion, you might want to choose one shade darker. Conversely, if you have a darker skin tone, a shade that is twice as dark as your skin tone will most likely provide the impact that you desire.
Face Tools
Plasma Fusion Nourishing Serum Foundation:
Shake well. Start at center of face and buff and blend outward until desired coverage is achieved. For the most unique, soft-focus finish apply with the Professional Fusion Illusion Foundation Brush. May also be applied with a makeup sponge.
Plasma Fusion Blush:
Using Skinn's Plasma Fusion Illusion Brush or your favorite blush brush, fan over the apples of the cheeks, blending along the cheekbone.
Dream Finish High Definition Blurring Powder:
Apply to your skin after foundation or on your bare face. Gently dip puff or brush in powder and tap off excess product. Pat with puff or sweep with brush from center of your face outward.
Plasma Fusion Illusion Brush:
Dot foundation starting at center of face and buff and blend downward outward until desired coverage is achieved. Also works with powders.

PINEHURST, N.C. – There goes Phil Mickelson, out-thinking himself again.
This is the golfer who once decided he didn't need his driver – on the longest course in U.S. Open history (at the time). Mickelson promptly played his way out of contention in the first two rounds at San Diego's Torrey Pines, his hometown course, in 2008.
Now, on the brink of another Open with deep emotional meaning – he attended a golf camp at Pinehurst at age 13, and his string of heartbreaking runner-up finishes started there in 1999 – Mickelson is tinkering once more.
He's trying the "claw" putting grip this week. He acknowledged he probably should have changed to this grip a few weeks ago, to rediscover his long-lost feel on the greens, but he made the decision Tuesday morning after a brief conversation with putting guru Dave Stockton.
Oh, and one other thing: Mickelson might return to a regular grip if the mood strikes him during the tournament.
"Right now the game plan is X, but it can certainly become Y in a matter of minutes," Mickelson said.
So we pose a simple question: Does this sound like a player on the verge of completing the career Grand Slam?
And we'll provide a simple answer: No.
Mickelson is The Story heading into this 114th edition of America's national championship, for many reasons. He could become only the sixth player to win the Slam. Fifteen years ago, he nearly won a riveting Open at Pinehurst – but watched Payne Stewart sink a memorable, 72nd-hole putt.
Stewart then cupped Mickelson's face in his hands and exhorted the joys of parenthood; Mickelson's first child was born the next day. He's finished second in the Open five times since.
Amid all these compelling plotlines, Mickelson returns to Pinehurst desperate to find his game. In the past 11 months, since his improbable British Open victory, he has made 20 PGA Tour starts – and hasn't finished in the top 10 once.
The biggest problem clearly is Mickelson's putting. He ranks 103rd on tour this season, after finishing sixth last year. This is why NBC analyst Johnny Miller declared last week that "the way Phil's been putting, he's got no chance at Pinehurst."
"He's absolutely right," Mickelson said. "I should have won last week by eight shots if I putted worth a … decent."
Miller, it should be noted, specifically suggested Mickelson huddle with Stockton to find a different putter or technique. Miller's logic: That's the only way for Mickelson to stand over pressure-packed Open putts with any confidence.
Maybe that's true, but it still smacks of desperation – especially because Mickelson wouldn't even commit to sticking to his plan. If he misses a few Thursday, will he lie down and try using his putter as a pool cue?
Stockton simply wants Mickelson to find his old "feel" on the greens, no matter the style.
"Phil can putt one-handed, right-handed and make most of them," Stockton said. "I just don't want him thinking too much."
Too late on that. Mickelson relishes these mind games, whether it's changing his irons during the 2002 Open or using two drivers in the '06 Masters (which he won). Does this mean he's smart enough to defy conventional thinking, or just trying to show how smart he is?
Mickelson embarks on his latest experiment while taking his first crack at completing the Slam. One of his career goals is joining Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods, Ben Hogan, Gary Player and Gene Sarazen in the exclusive club.
"I feel like those five players have separated themselves – it shows they have a complete game," Mickelson said. "If I'm able to do that, I would look upon my own career differently. That's why it would mean so much."

SEBASTIAN BACH has verbally lashed out at Kevin Connor of The Toronto Sun for inaccurately labeling his wife, Maria Bach, as a stripper in this article.
Baz tweets: "For the record: Maria Bach was never a stripper or a dancer at any time in her life. She was a waitress at this place (Filmores) that's all. She did this picture when we were teenagers trying to pay the rent. The fact that they still use her picture 25 years later means 2 things: her beauty is timeless & this place hasn't found a better looking girl in 25 years. You fuck with my wife, & you fuck with me. Why this place cant show a little class is beyond me, & way beyond them obviously."
Earlier today, Bach was in a Toronto court room for trashing Filmores strip club back in 2004 after staff refused to give him the naked picture on display of his wife taken in 1988. When Bach couldn't get at the picture, which was behind Plexiglas, he threw an ashtray through a $12,000 etched glass picture with the Filmores logo behind the bar. The charges against him were dropped and he agreed to pay a $250 fine.

Rupee Advances to One-Month High on Inflation, Deficit Optimism
India's rupee rose to the highest level in almost a month on speculation falling oil and gold prices will reduce inflation and narrow a record current-account deficit, giving the central bank room to cut interest rates.
Brent crude dropped 5.9 percent in the five days through yesterday, according to data compiled by Bloomberg, a positive for a nation that imports more than 80 percent of its oil needs. India's wholesale price-based inflation slowed to a 40-month low of 5.96 percent last month, official data showed April 15.
"The tide is turning better for India," Sean Yokota, head of Asia strategy at Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB (SEBA) in Singapore, wrote in a note to clients today. "The recent drop in oil prices will favor the rupee the most in Asia by reducing the twin deficits and inflation," he said, referring to the budget and current-account shortfalls.
The currency advanced 0.1 percent to 54.08 per dollar as of 10:10 a.m. in Mumbai, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. It touched 53.9250 earlier, the strongest level since March 19. One-month implied volatility, a gauge of expected moves in the exchange rate used to price options, fell four basis points, or 0.04 percentage point, to 8.33 percent.
The Reserve Bank of India will cut its benchmark repurchase rate by 50 basis points to 7 percent by the end of 2013, which will attract foreign capital to Indian equities, Yokota predicted. The current-account deficit widened to a record $32.6 billion in the last quarter of 2012, official data show, and the government is also looking to narrow the budget gap from a projected 5.2 percent of gross domestic product in the year ended March 31.
Gold Plunge
Gold purchases account for more than two-thirds of India's current-account deficit, according to the RBI. The metal's 17 percent plunge in 2013 could help cut import costs by almost $7 billion in the 12 months through March 2014, Barclays Plc said.
Three-month onshore rupee forwards traded at 55.08 per dollar, compared with 55.22 yesterday, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Offshore non-deliverable contracts were at 54.91 versus 55.04. Forwards are agreements to buy or sell assets at a set price and date. Non-deliverable contracts are settled in dollars.

Montréal's wood-fired French cousin to New York's bagel has landed in Sydney.
Smoking Gun, a new Montréal-style bagelry by San Francisco-trained bakers Mark Treviranus and Dave Young, has opened in the inner-Sydney suburb of Woolloomooloo. They were sold on the wood-fired method of cooking bagels after trying the wares of Montréal's famed Jewish grocer St-Viateur and the Fairmount Bagel shop.
The pair flew out expert stonemasons from Canada to construct their wood-fired oven and had training from St-Viateur's head baker to master the mix of a chewy centre and crisp exterior in the boiled-then-baked bagels.
Bagels at Smoking Gun is toasted and sliced with fixings off the seven-piece sandwich menu created by Jo Barrett, sous chef at Victoria's Oakridge Winery, along with the option of a whole bagel served with a cup of hot broth (which could do with a touch more salt). The menu is peppered with local specialties including cream cheese by dairy king Pepe Saya, their own Sensory Lab blend of coffee, and PS soft drinks.
The menu includes original creations with catchy names such as Yid-Life Crisis (charred chicken with avocado and kaffir lime) and Hands Off Snakey (bacon and egg gribiche) rounded out with the more familiar likes of cream cheese and smoked trout (in place of lox) and pastrami standing in for the famed smoked meat of Montréal's landmark Schwartz's Deli.
Smoking Gun Bagels, 129 Cathedral St, Woolloomooloo, NSW; open Mon-Fri 7am-3pm, Sat 8am-3pm, Sun 8am-noon.

Negotiating Jewish Canadian Identity: Montreal Yiddish Literary Journals in the Interwar Period
Margolis, Rebecca, Shofar
In the first decades of the twentieth century, Yiddish journals emerged worldwide in tandem with the periodical press as a vanguard of modern Jewish culture. Canada's Yiddish publishing capital of Montreal produced a dozen interwar journals dedicated to Yiddish literature. The journals published innovative works by writers across Canada while forging links with both international Yiddish culture and world literature. With a shared a roster of Canadian writers, the journals gave voice to ideological rifts in the Yiddish world: journals of the 1920s such as Nyuansn promoted an "art for art's sake" approach; the proletarian journals that dominated the Depression era such as Montreol and Heftn linked literature with the struggle of the working class. Together, the journals provided a forum for emerging writers in a minor Yiddish center, closely connected to the major centers in Europe and the United States, to negotiate their evolving identities as Canadian Jews.
In 1921, in one of Montreal's first Yiddish literary journals, Nyuansn, editor J. I. Segal expressed the ambiguity of a young immigrant poet positing a collective identity for Canadian Yiddish writers at the forefront of a new era:
Our motivation is not to strive for pioneering Iiterary activity here in Canada, which is cold, vast, and of limited Jewishness. We cannot hope for any kind of distinct Yiddish cultural center here. ... Our literary center is New York, whether we have expecrations from it or not, and whether we seek inspiration there or not. The fact that we are here in Canada makes us a distinct element that is seeking expression and cannot remain silent.1
Like Nyuansn, Yiddish literary journals worldwide provided a forum for literati to publish their writing and, in the process, to tackle core questions about Jewish identity. The scores of journals devoted to the publication of Yiddish belles-lettres, criticism, and essays that sprang up during the inter-war period reflect the rapid expansion of ideological orientations in the Jewish world. These journals fed an evolution of Yiddish letters and fueled an international network of Yiddish cultural communities that peaked in the 1920s and 1930s.2 These collective publications served as the locus for newly emerging literary movements: Di Yunge (the Young Ones) and Di Inzikhistn (the Introspectivists, both New York), Di Khalyastre (The Gang, Warsaw) Yung Vilna (Young Vilna), and others. Alongside the Yiddish popular press and miscellanies, the journals formed a primary site for the creation of modern Jewish culture, Yiddish letters as well as wider Jewish identity and consciousness.3
Literary journals emerged in major and minor Yiddish centers worldwide in tandem with the periodical press, and evolved as the vanguard of cultural, literary, and ideological innovation and experimentation. While generally short-lived, the journals were unconstrained by the popular and commercial dictates of newspapers4; published for a select readership, they were free to espouse a wide spectrum of ideological orientations, from a cosmopolitan emphasis on new poetics to proletarian journals that promoted a bond between literature and the working class. The journals provided an alternative to the mainstream press, and a means for cutting-edge ideas within a geographically diffuse minority culture to reach a global community of readers and critics. A Canadian example outlines the role the journals played in this dissemination for Montreal poet A. Sh. Shkolnikov :
Soon after World War I, a great hope began to blossom across the Yiddish world and all of Yiddish literature. Large centers were in communication with other large centers - Warsaw with New York with Moscow and Kiev - while smaller centers were doing rhe same, including Montreal with Vienna. At that time, the Montreal Nyuansn [journal] reached the Kritik [journal, Vienna] and with it, the first poems of A. Sh. Shkolnikov. …
