The mechanical cause of ARDS is fluid leaked from the smallest blood vessels in the lungs into the tiny air sacs where blood is oxygenated. Normally, a protective membrane keeps this fluid in the vessels. Severe illness or injury, however, can cause inflammation that undermines the membrane's integrity, leading to the fluid leakage of ARDS.
The most common underlying causes of ARDS include:

NRS Raft and fishing frame
Selling my NRS Sport Series Giant Slalom standard floor raft with the Bighorn fishing frame and stern seat. The boat is 12' long and 5'6" wide with 18" tubes. Also comes with cataract oars and magnum blades.
For details see:
The NRS Site.
It's an excellent setup that's been used lightly on Northwest rivers and made one trip up to Smithers. Great boat for the Sauk, Sol Duc, Calawah, etc. I'll have some pictures of it up shortly.
I'm asking $2500 obo. Feel free to email with questions.
Here's a cheesey pic from it up on the Sauk this past spring loaded to fish me and two others. At least this gives and idea of how it's set up to fish one off the front and one off the back. The rower sits on the cooler/storage box, which can also be replaced with a seat.

Dish on 'world's 50 most delicious foods' list originated in Indonesia, where it was reserved for special ceremonies and honoured guests.
Cooking beef in a mixture of spices and coconut milk brings about a far tastier meal than just grilling the meat on the barbecue, says Indonesian chef Freddy Iskandar.
Iskandar, who has been behind several Indonesian restaurant start- ups in Auckland including his latest, Kuta Bali at the Ponsonby Food Court, says rendang has consistently been among his top sellers over the years.
The spicy meat dish is said to have originated from the Minangkabau ethnic group of Indonesia, and was served at ceremonial occasions and for special guests.
But although it has its origins in Indonesia, rendang spread to many states of Malaysia where overseas Minangkabau live and is today considered a local dish in both Sumatra and Malaysia.
In a CNN online poll, 35,000 people voted the dish as their favourite, putting in on the "world's 50 most delicious food list".
"Mention beef, and most Kiwis will only think of putting it on the barbecue, but I think once they try rendang, they will be hooked," Iskandar says.
"But it takes hours to prepare the dish, and that's why in the past it was served only on special occasions."
The mixture of spices, called pemasak in Indonesian, include ginger, galangal, turmeric leaves, garlic, shallot, lemongrass and chillies.
The other main ingredient is coconut milk.
Iskandar says authentic rendang is dry, even though it has been sometimes been described as curry.
"If the rendang has too much sauce, then you are doing it wrong."
Iskandar recommends Bumbu or Brahim's brand rendang paste, which can be found in Asian supermarkets such as the Tofu Shop and Tai Ping, for those wishing to prepare this dish.
Any beef casserole cuts are suitable and the diced meat should be browned in a pan before mixing it with the packet of sauce and water.
Allow it to simmer on low heat for the meat to soak up the flavours.
"Cooking rendang requires patience, and the longer you let it simmer, the tastier and more tender your rendang will be," Iskandar says.
Dry rendang can last for weeks in the fridge. It is best eaten with rice, and the beef can be replaced with chicken or lamb.
Indonesia's gift to the world
Dish: Rendang Indonesia

Mamshit is a jewel in the crown of Christianity's earliest days, its desert home on an ancient trading route is a reminder of how Christianity took its message to the world.
Mamshit, in the central Negev, was first settled by the nomadic Nabateans, a stop on the 1,400-mile long Incense Route over which they brought frankincense and myrrh out of Arabia to the Mediterranean. In the fourth century, the Nabateans converted to Christianity, as the crosses some residents carved into the lintels of their homes still attest. Two large and impressive churches, among the most ancient in the world, adorned with mosaic floors, also celebrate the firs presence of Christians here.
Time your visit to the holidays, and you'll see the original market street comes alive with sights and sounds that recall ancient times. Mamshit, now a national park and a World Heritage Site, reveals not only magnificent desert landscapes and ancient culture, but also an important chapter in early Christian history.

Played with a bunch of palm software today. Mapopolis is kinda cool.
Big deal today was talking this guy out of thinking IIS was anything resembling high performance. He kept phrasing things like "IIS barely exceeds our performance requirements, and is thus high performance" as opposed to "IIS barely exceeds our performance requirements and Apache, Zeus, and thttpd kick its ass twelve ways to Tuesday."
Same guy we had to talk down from thinking Visual Basic was cool, too. Some people. They're so smart, but sometimes they can be sooooo stupid. Argent, myself, and another programmer we work with spent the better part of two hours showing him lots of VB breakage that didn't exist in a half-dozen sane environments (Tk, even *spit* Motif), explaining concurrency issues, basic data structures, etc. I mean, the guy is a professional programmer, and he's not a -bad- programmer either, but ... argghh.

- " Convenient location and helpful staff. The guesthouse is very good for the price. Might be a bit too hot for some people as the single room I stayed at had no AC - but it did have a ceiling fan. Bathroom was very clean. Safety was good. "
- 31 May 2014 Anonymous China
- " The lady that works reception was extremely kind and helpful. Tony's is a very basic guesthouse, as reflected in the price. It was a quiet place to rest after a long day, though if you're from a colder climate like me, you may want to pay a bit extra for A/C. Also, as you are passing the police station to get to Tony's, watch for the sludge on the sidewalk. I took a bit of a fall and ended up with a scraped knee and foot. "

Yemen: "Dramatic humanitarian situation" could erode political process, warns UN
Yemen's chronic humanitarian crisis threatens to undermine recent moves towards political stability, warned the UN's Humanitarian Coordinator, Mr. Ismail OuldCheikh Ahmed.
Speaking at a press conference in Geneva today (16 May), Mr Ahmed said that efforts to bring stability to the country could be for nought if more was not done to address widespread and severe humanitarian needs.
"Yemen is at a crossroads," said Mr Ahmed. "We have a chance finally to see (a successful transition). But this whole process could collapse if we don't deal with what is a dramatic humanitarian situation."
Conflicts in the north and south of Yemen, combined with recurrent drought and high levels of poverty, have left half of the country's population of 24 million in need of humanitarian aid. Hunger is widespread, and access to even basic health care is inadequate. More than 340,000 people are displaced from their homes.

may die without immediate assistance
Mr Ahmed called for international support for humanitarian organizations in Yemen. The humanitarian community in the country has grown in recent months. There are now 89 organizations – UN agencies and local and international NGOs – active in the country, as opposed to only 66 in 2012.
"I believe strongly that Yemen is full of hope, we can turn the situation around, but that requires strong support from the international community to the humanitarian response. But we have less than a third of the funding we need," Mr. Ahmed said
Humanitarian agencies have called for US$ 716 million to assist 7.7 million of the most vulnerable people in the country in 2013. However, the response from donors has been slow. Only 28 per cent of funding has been received.
With adequate funding, the humanitarian community aims to provide over 3 million people with water and sanitation, and more than 7 million people with food, including an estimated 700,000 malnourished children. Agencies believe they could provide health care services to about 4.2 million people.
Migrants face violence, exploitation
Mr Ahmed spoke also of the extreme vulnerability of thousands of migrants who travel to or through Yemen seeking work in the Gulf States. Since the beginning of 2013, an estimated 25,000 people from Ethiopia have travelled across Yemen, with many of them being stranded in Haradh on the border with Saudi Arabia.
"What we have discovered is that they are often subject to violence and mistreatment by human traffickers," said Mr Ahmed. "I was there with my colleague from IOM and what we saw was quite dramatic.
"Women and girls are exposed to gender-based violence, and children are being recruited to armed groups."
Aid organizations estimate that at least 50 people arrive daily in the town of Haradh. About 22 per cent of migrants that arrive on the Yemeni coast are women and girls, according to IOM.

We can highly recommend this small but perfectly fitting studio. It has got all that you need for a nice stay in Dubrovnik. As a plus Naijka gave us very detailed and useful information where to go and what to do (beaches, shopping, sights etc..). So, thanks again to Naijka: We really felt welcome!
Heiko & Carola
The apartment is small, especially the kitchen area, but it met our needs. It was very clean. The garden is beautiful and there is a table and seating under a vine covered pergola. A twenty minute walk gets you to the walls of the old town.
Najka was very helpful and I would certainly recommend the accommodation.
Fantastic studio apartment, very sweet decor and good facilities. Terrace was the highlight- we spent our breakfast and siesta outside. Free wine included as well as an introduction to the city and local recommendations including the 24 hr bakery. Susannah
Ganz schönes Appartement mit einer wirklich kuscheligen Terrasse. Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen, auch ohne Luxusausstattung.
Nous avons été super bien reçus par Najka et sa mère. Le studio est vraiment fonctionnel et donne sur un merveilleux jardin. Nous étions au calme tout en étant assez près de la vieille ville.
Merci encore pour tout.
Peter et Regula
Die Unterkunft in Dubrovnik war ideal gelegen. Nur zwanzig Minuten zu Fuß bis zur Altstadt, nur fünf Minuten bis zum Badestrand. Zwanzig Minuten zum zentralen Busbahnhof und Hafen für Ausflüge in das Umland. Die Gastgeber waren am Anreisetag auch nach zehn Uhr Abends vor Ort und idealerweise am Abreiseatg wardas Unterstellen des Gepäcks bis 18.00 Uhr kein Problem. Der Gastgeber spricht englisch und deutsch und gibt Tips für Ausflüge.
Bu ev sahibinin diğer mülklerine yapılan yorumlar
Najka was really helpful - she gave us many tips of things to visit. The apartment was very nice and comfortable. The apartment is fully equipped. The neighbourhood is really peaceful and quiet, and the nearest market is just 150m away. I can recommend Najka to everyone, who wants to have a good time in Croatia.
Upon arrival Najka gave us plenty of tips for fun and exciting things to do during our stay. Which was great. And she recommended a nice nearby restaurant (which we ended up eating at a lot) and gave us directions to; beaches, stores and of course old town. Everything was within walking distance. The house was nice and had a beautiful terrace with a table, chairs and lemon trees (perfect for a nice breakfast in the morning). All in all Najka was a great hostess and so was everything else!
Najka was very warmly to waiting us and give good advises. Polished she or her mother visited to us to see if everything was ok. Place was nice and we can recommend Najka to others.

Incoming premier Frank Coleman says he did not benefit personally from a decision by the Department of Transportation and Works to release his former company, Humber Valley Paving, from contracted work without penalty.
The company was hired in May 2012 — while Coleman was still at the helm — to complete roughly 80 kilometres of road construction for the new Trans-Labrador Highway. It was paid $11.8 million, for what the provincial government says represents completing roughly 60 per cent of the total work.
The province could have pushed for compensation for the failure to complete all of the work as stipulated — through two $9.5-million bonds set down before the construction work began.
It chose not to and, instead, the company was released from its obligations.
The unfinished paving is now being re-tendered for completion later this year, packaged with roadwork in Happy Valley-Goose Bay.
Coleman told The Telegram he wasn't involved in the paving business after Feb. 14 on a day-to-day basis, and sold his shares in February. He said he also wasn't involved in the discussions around the cancelled government contract.
"My shares were sold. This is a decision that the new management team made, along with the Government of Newfoundland," he said.
"It was the right conclusion both for the company and the province," he added.
He did not dispute the release of Humber Valley Paving without penalty was unprecedented, though that point has yet to be confirmed.
Coleman did ask if it would be better, on the other hand, for government to never negotiate with companies and automatically force contract issues into the courts.
"It really bothers me to see people taking shots at the new owners of Humber Valley Paving for conducting their business in what I would call an absolutely reputable manner," he said.
He noted he has been instructed by the company's new owners, as well as personally advised, to not discuss details of the company's standing, or his dealings with the company, in public.
With that said, "I can absolutely tell you there is absolutely nothing untoward here," he said.
The Humber Valley Paving contract was at the centre of Question Period in the House of Assembly Monday afternoon, with a barrage of questions from Liberal MHAs Andrew Parsons and Tom Osborne, and NDP MHA George Murphy.
Minister of Transportation and Works Nick McGrath ignored individual questions and instead used his response time to, step by step, walk through decisions made around the contract work and the reasoning for those decisions — as much as has been conveyed to individual reporters over the past week.
"Again, Mr. Speaker, as I said unequivocally, never — never — have I had, as the Minister of Transportation and Works, a conversation with Mr. Frank Coleman concerning this issue.
"We dealt with the contractor themselves on any conversations we had."
When it comes to the cancelled contract, he later told reporters, his dealings were with Gene Coleman, who was a director of Humber Valley Paving at the time. He described him as a longtime company spokesperson.
"When it comes to the shareholders of the company, it's immaterial to us as a government," he said.
"In no way, shape or form would I be influenced because of the personality or the relationships that I was dealing with when dealing with any contractor," he later reiterated.
Parsons said he is not convinced of the focus for McGrath.
"I think we have to lay out the facts as we know them right now. The incoming premier, Mr. Frank Coleman, resigned from the (company's) board I believe March 10. There was an offer, or a conversation on March 13, or a decision made that the bond would be released. This (release) was done March 31," he said.
Coleman's resignation from the company was effective March 10, as per registered documents.
"We know that the minister said that the premier was in on this and there was obviously indirect negotiations involving Frank Coleman, his son Gene Coleman, the minister and the current premier. So I'm going to put that out there and say there's a huge, huge conflict of interest in play here," Parsons said.
Staff with the Department of Transportation and Works are gathering a collection of documentation related to the contract for public release, in the interest of transparency on the subject.
That release may come as early as today, according to a spokesman.
As for Gene Coleman, the man who convinced the provincial government to forego seeking penalties against Humber Valley Paving, he left the company's board of directors effective April 23.
The company's listed directors are Michael Coleman and Robert Coleman. Ownership of remains unclear, as does the current leadership team. A spokesman for the company has refused to discuss the private business.

I've been a member in the RPG Maker community for 4 or 5 years. The community strongly believes that people especially game designers and players look down at RPG Maker games. Why do game designers and players look down on RPG Maker games?
I've heard many stories with players becoming upset because a RPG Maker game is for sale instead of for free. These players do not believe designers who use the program should sale their games.
Do people think the RPG Maker is a walk in the park? It takes alot of hard work to make a game with the RPG Maker. Sure, there are alot of things done for you. However, you must put it all together. That will take hours of making maps, characters, cut scenes, boss battles, etc.

The PLUS Program
Initiated in 1983, the Muskingum University PLUS Program continues a tradition of individual attention to all students that is reflective of the University mission. The small and caring environment enhances the possibility for student success and is an ideal setting to provide an appropriate support structure to meet the academic needs of qualified students with disabilities. George Dehne has suggested that Muskingum University has the opportunity to become distinctive in higher education by emphasizing the development of "lifelong learning skills" and by equipping our graduates with "tools" to "know how to learn in a variety of contexts," both while they are in the University and "when they leave Muskingum for a less generous and caring world" (Dehne, 1990).
The PLUS Program is primarily intended for individuals with high incidence disabilities, such as the learning disabled, but may also serve other qualified disabled students. A learning disability is a generic term that refers to a heterogeneous group of disorders manifested by significant difficulties in the acquisition and use of listening, reading, writing, reasoning, or mathematical abilities. These disorders occur in persons of average to very superior intelligence and are presumed to be due to central nervous system dysfunctions. Even though a learning disability may exist concomitantly with other handicapping conditions (e.g. sensory impairment) or environmental influences (e.g. cultural or language difficulties), it is not the direct result of those conditions or influences (Journal of Learning Disabilities 22(2):109-112, 1987).
Course requirements and graduation requirements are not compromised for PLUS students; PLUS students are required to complete the same course and graduation requirements as non-PLUS students at Muskingum University. However, PLUS students are encouraged to take a reduced course load of 10 to 14 credit hours per semester, compared to 13 to 18 for most non-PLUS students, to allow time for tutorial contacts, extended testing time, and additional time to complete course assignments. PLUS students may take courses during the summer at Muskingum or elsewhere to compensate for the reduced course load during the fall and spring semesters, or they may choose to take additional semesters to complete degree requirements.
The primary goal of postsecondary service providers is to foster success through increased self-reliance during and beyond the University years. Strategy instruction in a small, closely knit University environment where students, faculty, and staff work together can aid discovery of individual learning strengths and weaknesses. Students will move out of the structured support environment towards self-direction and greater acceptance of responsibility for managing lifetime learning as their confidence increases and they view their successes.
Additional information may be obtained from the PLUS Program by phone at 740-826-8280, by e-mail at email@example.com, or by mail at Walter Hall, Muskingum University, New Concord, Ohio 43762-1199.

OpenLeaks' testing won't just be a mere tryout of the site's submissions functions so much as a trial by fire: Domscheit-Berg plans to invite the 3,000 security-minded types at the German conference and anyone other willing hackers around the world to actively probe the site and seek out its vulnerabilities in a crowd-sourced penetration test. If they can demonstrate flaws that could damage its stability, its data's security or, perhaps most importantly, the anonymity of its sources, those testers are asked to alert OpenLeaks' team and help get the flaws fixed.

Google Removes CynogenMod From Play Store, Cites App Wants to Void Warranties
Here's the deal. The CyanogenMod installer has one purpose and one purpose only -- it guides users through installing the custom CyanogenMod firmware on their Android devices with a single tap. Part of that process involves enabling ADB, a build-in development and debugging tool, but that's not what Google takes issue with.
"After reaching out to the Play team, their feedback was that though the application itself is harmless, since it 'encourages users to void their warranty', it would not be allowed to remain in the store," CyanogenMod stated in a blog post explaining why his app is no longer available.
This stinks of a power play from Google, whether on its own accord or because it was pressured by hardware partners. Either way, there's no denying the demand for CyanogenMod's installer. Not only did CyanogenMod popularize the concept of modding on Android, but he says there have been "hundreds of thousands of installations" of his app.
While this is a setback (and hopefully a temporary one), it's not the end of the road. CyanogenMod can still be sideloaded onto Android devices, though it requires enabling app installations from "Unknown Sources."

external high filter all in one
I am looking to see if I can find a filter with all or as many of the requirements I need. I am building a paludarium with roughly 28 US gallons of water space. Everything or as much as possible should be out of the aquarium or small as possible to work. However the only space I have to store things is above the enclosure. The total enclosure is 40w x 18 D x 36 high, in inches, there is probably another 12 inches of space above it for all the lighting, heating, ventilation and so on.
This will also have a waterfall, most people at local pet stores pointed me toward various devices, a heater, a thermometer, pump and submerisble fluval filter. However I got to thinking why cant many of these be condensed into 1 device? And better yet why is this not common place? It seems consolidation has been happening in most of the pet trade. And I saw I could make canister filters myself with a pump and some PVC pipe with filter materials.
So the ideal product would be something that is able to lay horizontally probably no more than 6 inches high, water can be pumped all the way up to it, almost 40 inches high at max and still have enough flow for a 28 gallon setup. Then water would be moved back into the top of the paludarium and dumped into a top resevoir which is the start of a cascading water fall. The water would be heated inside or around the filter so as to keep all that out of the aquarium part.
The main problems I see are, will a siphon form that will cause uneven water out put? And 2 will a pump be powerful enough to move water up that high, it seems to me almost all filters are at or lower than the tank level in most setups. Will the out going water get to hot from a heater in a confined space?
So what options are out there if any, and if none meet all the requirements what would come close?
This: http://firedupfishtanks.ning.com/vid...trickle-filter
Customize as required but you can get the general idea from the video, Google "DIY Sterilite wet/dry trickle filter" for more versions & details.
Finding a pump will be no issue, Fitting your heater in your height limitations may be tricky but this will work for much of your criteria.

Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part.
Why pretend there are no stupid questions? Actually, There are many stupid questions: "Should I drink this bleach?" Is just one example.
Having said that, Just because it's a stupid question doesn't mean that it shouldn't be asked. It's better to know.
A warm beer is better than a cold beer. Because nothing is better than a cold beer, and a warm beer is better than nothing.

I have decided nothing out there will work for me so I started constructing my own filter. I built out of 3" PVC pipe, I pretty much have everything connected but the last part I need is a pump. The main deal is the pump should be as quiet as possible, have enough flow for my 28 US gallons and the most important part is it must lift the water about 36 inches give or take a few depending on final placement. Some websites say I should have between 5 and 10 GPH for filtering per gallon of aquarium. So that puts me somewhere between 150 and 300 gallons per hour. I had pico mag 300 but it had almost no pressure at 24 inches.

The Link Between Smallmouth Bass Mortality and Disease and the Need to Reduce Water Pollution in Chesapeake Bay Tributaries

Over the last decade, one of the most prized freshwater sport-fish species—smallmouth bass—has suffered fish kills and perplexing illnesses in several Bay tributaries. These tributary rivers include the South Branch of the Potomac River in West Virginia, the Shenandoah and Cowpasture Rivers in Virginia, the Monocacy River in Maryland, and the Susquehanna River in Pennsylvania. In the Susquehanna River, smallmouth bass populations have plummeted, with catch rates of adults falling 80 percent between 2001 and 2005 in some areas. According to the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission, the population has not recovered.
Smallmouth bass do not tolerate pollution well. Thus, they are an indicator of water quality. While the specific causes of the deaths and illnesses among smallmouth bass remain unclear, leading fisheries biologists studying the problem believe that a "perfect storm" of contributing factors has overwhelmed a sensitive species.
The Chesapeake Bay Foundation (CBF) compiled this report by interviewing five leading smallmouth bass experts and examining peer-reviewed journal articles, as well as reports from federal and state agencies. Some conclusions include:
The problems of smallmouth bass should matter to everyone. Not only are "smallies" a financially valuable sport fish, but they are also an indicator species that is sensitive to pollution. Other fish and animals could also be suffering similar die-offs and illnesses, but we would not necessarily be aware, because an outdoors culture and industry has not been built up around them. So we should listen to what bass are telling us about our ecosystem.
The Chesapeake Clean Water Blueprint lays out the steps that need to be taken to reduce pollution and improve water quality in local rivers, streams, and the Chesapeake Bay. Make a difference for smallmouth bass. Sign our pledge to protect the Bay and the Blueprint.

"I was immersed in the athletics industry and saw the inefficiency of the ticket market. When I dove into the details, a huge and consistent market pain became obvious. I saw an opportunity, a big one." - Barry Kahn, Ph.D. Economics '07
Qcue, founded in 2007 by University of Texas alums Barry Kahn, Ph.D. '07 (Economics), Jitendra Dalvi, MBA '07, and Andrew Mills, Ph.D. '08 (Computer Science), is price optimization software that helps sporting teams and event promoters set and adjust ticket prices. By incorporating real-time market variables such as weather and performance, Qcue enables its clients to increase revenue and attendance.
Industry stats show that about 10 percent of tickets are sold by scalpers in the secondary market and about 40-50 percent of tickets go unsold. Kahn saw an opportunity to develop a new pricing model to capture this lost revenue for team owners and event promoters. "I applied my economics analytical skill-set to a new problem, one that most economists would not have thought about looking at."
After getting positive feedback from multiple industry contacts, Kahn decided to move forward with his idea. "The industry feedback was overwhelmingly positive when we went to the market in the fall of 2006 . This was a pivotal moment," Kahn said.
In the spring of 2007, while working on his dissertation, Kahn decided to take another business elective, New Venture Creation, where he joined up with his co-founder, Jiten Dalvi. In fall 2007, Kahn and Dalvi took the Advanced Venture Development Practicum. Both courses prepared the team to refine their business plan and get ready for the Texas Moot Corp Competition in January 2008. "This wasn't a class project that evolved into a business. This was a business that looked to the university to find the resources that would help it work," Kahn said.
Qcue won the 2008 Texas Moot Corp Competition and they placed fourth in the Global Moot Corp Competition. From their Texas Moot Corp winnings, they received office space and consulting support from Austin Technology Incubator.
At Rice University's business-plan competition, they won first place and $330,000. (See 60-second video pitch for Rice Competition on CNN Online, sponsored by Fortune Small Business.)"The presentation skills I learned from business plan competitions were incredibly valuable," Kahn said. "I got a lot of feedback after presenting the business to investors and to clients. Getting out there and seeing other companies pitch gave me a lot of insight and reinforced how important the credibility of the management team is in presenting the business to others."
Kahn credits the New Venture Creation class for connecting them with Greg Holloway of Thompson & Knight. Holloway, who is now Qcue's general counsel, was a guest speaker in New Venture Creation and spent many after hours consulting with them at Austin's Magnolia Café. He also credits UT's Athletic Department for introducing him to those who run UT's ticketing and sales operations. "Being able to get in front of a real customer and flesh out ideas and have those kinds of conversations was incredibly valuable," Kahn said. Even the company's logo and tagline was designed by an advertising class which took on the company's branding as part of a class project.
From the publicity and exposure Qcue received at business-plan competitions, the company received funding from several angel investors. In October 2009, Qcue received $1 million from the Texas Emerging Technology Fund.
Qcue's first customer was the San Francisco Giants for a small portion of the ballpark in the 2009 season. The program was very successful, Kahn said. They are negotiating a multi-year deal and will be pricing the entire stadium for the 2010 season. Projected revenues are strong with a growing number of brand customers including the Dallas Stars and Cleveland Indians.

Postdoctoral fellow Mendi Obadike is teaching a freshman seminar this semester on "The Idea of Black Music," basing it on her work studying sound as an element of representations of blackness in American music, film and literature. The seminar examines what it means to identify something as black music, what associations are made when one defines something as black and how that relates to greater ideas of cultural connections and identity.
At left: Following the screening of a documentary on the topic, Obadike leads a discussion with Eben Novy-Williams (center) and Jerry Nnanabu about the connections between an obscure musical rhyme sung by an elderly black woman from the Gullah region of Georgia and a hymn once used in burial rituals of the Mende people in Sierra Leone.

The Princeton Weekly Bulletin featured stories on two freshman seminars, both focusing on the intersection between art and science, in its Nov. 20, 2006, issue. The April 9, 2007, issue includes stories on four more seminars — these a little more wide-ranging in their subject matter.
Freshmen this semester are discovering the excitement and challenge of working in a small-group setting with faculty and fellow students on topics such as great books, the chemistry of chocolate, black music and the DNA/iPod connection.
These are just a sampling of the 70 courses offered during the fall and spring semesters through Princeton's freshman seminar program. This year, some 950 freshmen — nearly 80 percent of the class — have enrolled.
Almost universally, students say that their freshman seminar was one of their best academic experiences at Princeton and that they form their most enduring intellectual friendships with fellow students in the seminar.
Featured Story
'Troubling' students' beliefs about black music
Posted April 17, 2007; 09:07 a.m.
From the April 9, 2007, Princeton Weekly Bulletin
Waiting for class to begin on a recent Tuesday afternoon, freshman Jess Jardine asked her peers to help settle a debate she's been having with her roommate.
"Is Rihanna black music? Does she count?" Jardine asked of the Barbadian singer whose music is popular on MTV and Top 40 radio stations.
"I would say she's singing black music because it's the genre. She's singing R&B," Yolisa Nalule responded.
It's a discussion one might expect to hear students having over lunch at the Frist Campus Center, but in Mendi Obadike's freshman seminar, "The Idea of Black Music," the exchange is an extension of the scholarly debate in which the class has been engaged all semester.
Obadike, a postdoctoral fellow in race/ethnicity studies and lecturer in English, is interested in sound and stereotype, and she based the seminar on her work studying sound as an element of representations of blackness in American music, film and literature. The seminar examines what it means to identify something as black music, what associations are made when one defines something as black and how that relates to greater ideas of cultural connections and identity.
"I'm really trying to use techniques that have happened in musicology, digital culture, cultural studies and narrative studies to think about how sound works and how we think about sounds as signs," said Obadike, a member of Princeton's Society of Fellows in the Liberal Arts. "What is getting invoked when we hear something?"
On this particular afternoon, the class examined these questions by discussing the documentary, "The Language You Cry In." The film traced the roots of an obscure musical rhyme sung by an elderly black woman from the Gullah region of Georgia to a hymn once used in burial rituals of the Mende people in Sierra Leone.
The documentary culminated as the woman from Georgia travels to war-torn Sierra Leone to meet a Mende woman who remembered the dirge sung by her ancestors. The two women did not speak the same language, but bonded by sharing their music.
When the film ended, Obadike asked students if the Gullah rhyme and Mende hymn could each be labeled as black music. Or, she wondered, was it only when the two songs were linked — through the Gullah and Mende women experiencing them together — could they be called black?
"Why does one thing have to be connected to another to be titled black music?" Jerry Nnanabu asked. "Black music is African Diasporic music. Then you can break it down to Caribbean, American and from there you can break it down into tribes."
"But if our identity is always about the diaspora and how we are connected — as Jerry has argued — then how is our culture not about hearing the music from somewhere else?" Obadike responded. "Is it black music because it can be connected to the history of all these things that connect a people?"
Eben Novy-Williams agreed with his professor and concluded: "When you're linking Gullah people and Mende people from a thousand miles away, the only way to categorize it is as black music."
Following class, Obadike seemed pleased to observe that some students' opinions have changed since the start of the semester. She said her ultimate goal is to trouble students' beliefs rather than have them reach a definitive conclusion about the term "black music."
"It's about challenging the assumptions we make when we hear something," she said. "I want my students to come away with a better understanding of the ways in which our consumption of music intersects with notions of cultural or racial identity and stereotypes."

Speed clean chandeliers
Use chandelier cleaning spray
Cleaning a chandelier the old-fashioned way—spraying and wiping each piece by hand—takes forever. And it doesn't help that you're standing on a ladder. Want an easier way? Try a spray-on chandelier cleaner. First spread a plastic tarp on the floor under the chandelier to catch the drips. Then turn off the light and spray the solution on the chandelier until liquid beads start to run (you'll use a lot of spray, but it beats wiping). The spray rinses off the dust. The solution that's left evaporates quickly and doesn't leave water spots. The spray works well on hanging crystals, but don't expect it to remove dust from crevices. Buy it for $10 from nancysilver.com or chandelierparts.com.
Cut grease with a hot rag
Heat sponge in the microwave first
Grease and dirt build up on kitchen cabinets over time. To clean your cabinets, first heat a slightly damp sponge or cloth in the microwave for 20 to 30 seconds until it's hot. Put on a pair of rubber gloves, spray the cabinets with an all-purpose cleaner containing orange oil ($4), then wipe off the cleaner with the hot sponge.
Wipe cabinets with all purpose cleaner
For stubborn spots, let the cleaner sit for five minutes first. Wipe in the direction of the wood grain. Rinse and reheat the sponge as it becomes saturated. Then wipe the cabinets with a cool, damp cloth. The orange oil leaves a shiny coating. This works for any wood or metal surface.
Scum-proof your shower doors
Treat doors with water repellent product
Keeping shower doors clean and streak free is a challenge—unless you know the pros' secrets. Start by cleaning any mold, mildew or streaks off the glass with a glass cleaner. Use a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser ($1) to get into the cracks in textured glass. Scrape off tough buildup with a razor blade. Dry the doors with a cloth.
Treat the doors with a product like Aquapel ($8; autobodydepot.com) or Rain-X ($5 at auto parts stores and home centers). These glass treatments form an invisible film on the glass to increase water repellency, causing water and soap to bead up and run off the glass. (Squeegee off the water after bathing to keep soap scum from building up again.) Spray or wipe on the glass treatment, then wipe it off with a microfiber cloth. Overspray won't harm surrounding surfaces. The products repel water for six months.
Clean hard floors faster
Toss your mop and bucket
Every pro we talked to was a big fan of Swiffer Sweeper products, particularly the Wet Jet ($20). It lets you throw away the traditional mop and bucket and clean your hard floors in less time and in a more sanitary way (mops are often full of bacteria, which get spread on the floor during cleaning). Three cleaning solutions (for different floor types) are available for the battery-powered Wet Jet. The solution is automatically sprayed onto the floor with the push of a button. Disposable, textured pads absorb the spray as they clean. Since the Wet Jet is very portable, it's great for spot-cleaning spills. The downside is that it doesn't work as well as a mop on extremely dirty floors or on mud that gets tracked into the house.
Switch to microfiber cloths
Don't use cotton rags or paper towels
Throw out the old cotton rags and the paper towels and use microfiber cloths instead. These cloths are composed of ultrafine synthetic fibers that are woven together to create a "microfiber." The fibers rub together during cleaning, creating a static charge that attracts dirt and dust, so you can tackle dusting chores without using sprays or chemicals (although you can still use them if you want). The tiny fibers have sharp edges that scour well, but they aren't abrasive, so they won't scratch surfaces. Use the cloths for cleaning appliances, sinks, and TV and computer monitors, and for drying dishes, washing windows and any other chore that requires a cloth (wet or dry). Microfiber cloths ($20 for a 10-pack at discount stores) leave a streak- and lint-free finish, are very absorbent, and can be washed and reused.
Blow out the garage
Ditch the broom
Forget the broom—clean out the garage with a leaf blower. It's fast (about five minutes), you don't have to move heavy stuff, and you can clean work surfaces and shelves along with the floor. First put away papers or anything else that you don't want blown away. Open the overhead door. Put on a dust mask, earplugs and safety glasses, then turn on the leaf blower and blow out the dust and debris. Use the leaf blower to get under workbenches and to clean off the benches themselves. If you don't own a leaf blower, you may be able to use your shop vacuum by connecting the hose to the exhaust port. This cleaning method works great for screen porches, too.
The right stuff for rust
Use the right rust stain remover
All-purpose cleaners won't remove rust stains from sinks, tubs and toilets, even with a lot of elbow grease. The trick is to use a stain remover like Super Iron Out ($10 for a 5-lb. jug). Look for a rust stain remover or a product that contains diluted hydrochloric acid (also listed on product labels as hydrogen chloride, HCL or muriatic acid). Be careful not to use a product containing bleach—it'll set the stain. For toilets, add Super Iron Out to the water in the bowl, then clean with a stiff nylon-bristled brush. For sinks and tubs, first wet the surface with water. Apply Super Iron Out to a damp sponge (wear rubber gloves and a mask—this stuff is powerful!). Wipe the stain with the sponge until it's gone. Rinse the surface with plain water to completely remove the Super Iron Out.
Remove pet hair with duct tape
Better than vacuuming
That's right. We've found another use for duct tape—cleaning. The stickiness of duct tape makes it perfect for a makeshift pet hair remover and this method is faster than vacuuming. It also works on seats in vehicles. A sponge or cloth wrapped with duct tape works great for getting into corners.
Remove bathroom soap scum
Mr. Clean Magic Eraser is magic
For grout lines and textured surfaces, use a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. To prevent soap scum buildup, stop using real soap and start using a synthetic. Chemically speaking, any soap in a liquid or gel form, and some bar soaps (Zest and Ivory), are actually synthetic soaps and much less likely to leave a tough film in your sink, shower or tub.
Spot-clean food and drink spills
Stain pens really work
The best way to prevent stains is to treat spills immediately. That's why pros love stain pens, like Tide to Go and the Clorox Bleach Pen Gel, which are designed to remove small stains from upholstery, grout, caulk, porcelain and clothing (avoid the bleach pens for colored fabric). Just press the tip into the stain to release the solution, then rub the tip across the stain to remove it. Inexpensive ($3) and portable, they're great at removing food and drink spills. Before applying a cleaning solution to an entire surface or fixture, first test it on a tiny area to make sure it won't damage or discolor the finish.
