Korg KAOSS Pad (KP3)
The KAOSS Pad 3 (or KP3 to 95% of the world) is a great little multi-feature device. It can sample, apply effects and offers some basic drum and synthesizer sounds. Some will say that none of these features are exceptionally good—and they're probably right. But, the strength of this device is its ability to be versatile and notably intuitive. By simply touching, tapping or sliding your finger over the large touchpad, you can control multiple effects parameters and manipulate samples in real time.
The sampling side of the KP3 is easy to figure out. Four samples (or phrases, because the KP3 is really of the 'phrase-sampler' ilk, rather than a traditional sampler) can be stored. The sampling time is 16 beats at 74 bpm—suggesting that the maximum sample time is about 13.2 seconds for each pad at 16-bit, 48kHz stereo. You can sample at 74 bpm or higher at beat values of 1, 2, 4, 8 or 16 per measure. Each sample can be a continuous loop or a one shot sample. Recording a sample is easily done by pressing "sampling" and then the pad you want to record to. It's that easy. The only draw back for some will be the fact that it only has RCA-style jacks for all incoming and outgoing audio.
Now the for best part: the effects! This section is incredibly intuitive because of the large centrally located X/Y touch pad. Effects are selected with a knob (there are 128 programs to choose from). The types of effects offered vary widely and can be used for a range of creative possibilities. From grain shifters, slicers, LFO modulation, echo, reverb, flanger, delay, filters to various combinations. Eight memory locations are provided above the touch pad to store your favorites, along with any pad motion recording, pad hold status and position, plus values for fx depth and fx release. Also, another attractive point of the KP3 is its ability to apply effects to the input of the unit, with or without samples playing back, effectively using it as a real-time effects processor. As this device begs to be used live, it does a great job at sampling the input or re-sampling the output on the fly. Another nice extra is the ability of the KP3 to provide a tap tempo and it has auto-BPM detection to beat-sync its tempo to the input (sometimes the sync is sloppy but you can help it by tapping the tap tempo button, indicating to the KP3 where the beat is). This tempo can be output in MIDI to clock other devices, as well as any button you push or activity on the touch pad can transmit/receive MIDI for the option to record and playback your performances in a sequencer.
Another interesting thing is, for the first time, the KP3 can save all its memory to an SD card. You can't name the samples, they are numbered from 00 to 99. You can also save all the data (the 8 effects locations, samples, global settings) into 1 of 10 possible memory locations on the SD card. All of this information can also be created or edited via the included KP3 editor/librarian software via USB connection to your computer.
Whether you are in a studio, live, a pro or not, the KP3 begs to shape, re-shape, bend and loop your music in an immediate and intuitive way.
The KP3 was preceded by two earlier generations:
Korg KAOSS Pad 1
Originally released in 1999, the KP1 featured up to 6 available effects at a time (instead of 8 on the newer models) and lacked any sampling ability or basic synth tones. It was, for all intents and purposes, a DJ-oriented, real-time effects processor and MIDI-controller with an immediate hands-on or touch-style approach, a super simple layout and lots of cool lights!
Korg KAOSS Pad 2
2002 brought the KP2 which added a phrase-sampler with 12 seconds of 44.1kHz sampling and synth and drum sounds derived from the ElecTribe series. Memory, I/O and even the touch-pad all received upgrades from the original unit as well.

I stopped reading when you said Jennings can't get out of breaks and shown he hasn't produced TDs.
LOL Fail.
I stopped reading when you said Jennings can't get out of breaks and shown he hasn't produced TDs.
LOL Fail.
Deshaun Watson is the TRUTH!
I certainly agree with getting Eifert but forget someone else's TE. Eifert gives you instant better blocking and red zone threat. Jump ball all day long. If we do not get BPA at 12, Eifert is plug and play all day.
Im sorry for all you Patterson lovers out there, he is amazing when running end arounds and returns, but when you go to the next level, that crap doesnt work as much. He is still raw and would take a full year of play to get used to the NFL and get his routes down.
Eifert gives you more dynamic presence to the pro game. Its that simple. He may not touch the ball for a half, but he will make the big play when you need it most and for a TD.
Some think he will drop to the second round, I just dont see that because TE is very improtant in the NFl and he is tops. Can split out, stay in, and go down the seam with a big frame.
I sitll have not lost sight on Eifert and if one of those Tackles is not there, I am all for it. WR's are deep in this draft. Dont get lost in the ted ginn disease of big play college ball.
has the dolphins ever drafted a TE in the first round b4 ?
We should definitely avoid Mike Wallace because of his inability to run block... Just not a mentality I agree with. He brings an elite dynamic to an NFL offense. What's also underrated is that last year he led the league in short pass production so this myth that he just runs go routes all day is untrue and to even mention Clyde Gates as a comparison is absurd. Greg Jennings has also been a leading red zone TD receiver for years. So that idea of his getting "outmuscled" goes out the window. Like many receivers without towering height he finds those tight windows in the red zone. To say flankers barely score TDs in the RZ is silly. I don't agree with your analysis because a lot of it is off.
Personally, I'd like to see a huge influx of talent into our offense. The idea that Cordarelle would make Tannehill's development tougher is incorrect. I think much like Luck in Indy, he could benefit from having young receivers around him to grow with along with a quality vet. I don't think Hartline is a must sign at his price point. I think if we kept Hartline and only signed Bowe we'd still suffer from a considerable lack of speed on our team. I guess you can call Hartline a speedster, and he has a talent for making plays downfield, but he's not a gamebreaker. I would like to seriously address the offense this offseason. I think it does have a ways to go and the way we left Tannehill out to dry with no weapons last year was criminal. We need at least 3 new WRs in. I would go Cordarelle, Stedman, and Marquess. With Hartline's contract demands I would pass on him for Jennings. If Bush goes, then another RB. I do like leaning on Lamar more heavily, but we need a plan B. I would sign Goodson and draft Le'veon while cutting the cord on DT or keeping him for deep depth. TE needs to be addressed. I would resign Fasano while hoping Eifert or Ertz drop to our 2nd pick. If not, draft a project later in the draft while signing Keller or Cook. Of course the line still needs to be addressed. There's a lot of work to do on the offense.
Not many WRs are good run blockers, that factor is moot IMO.
PLAYMAKERS, is what we have lacked for many many years, who gives a ---- if they can run block??
IMO, if we keep most of what we have on O, excluding Long, and add a difference maker at WR and in the OL, along with Tannehill getting better, we will be a good O. So, I do agree with a couple of pieces IF they are the right one's.
A bit similar on D. Add the VG CB many thought VD would be and we are in VG shape. No one is picking on the front seven or our safeties, it's on the CB's. Another VG pass rusher would be nice but, we could have a lot of success without one.
Depending on Tanny, we are not far away.
Sign Wallace, draft Allen and all of a sudden you have changed this offense drastically.

Rosendahl is a source of practical designs that make day-to-day living easier and more elegant. From hand-blown glass and unique designs to innovative accessories for the dining table and the home, to professional kitchen utensils.
Thanks to Rosendahl's product development, their distinctive, stylistically consistent designs can be found in the majority of modern homes.
Rosendahl also promotes well-known design classics. For instance, Rosendahl has taken on the distribution of Kay Bojesen's much-loved toy soldiers, the distinctive teak monkey and the timeless Grand Prix cutlery.
Rosendahl's history is also closely intertwined with Yomin Yamada's Global knives, which Erik Rosendahl introduced to Scandinavia with great success. These professional knives became a best-seller, and today they can be found in many Danish homes and professional kitchens.
Rosendahl is also renowned for its collaboration with art craftswoman Lin Utzon; some of her items include the poetic, stylistically consistent Filigran range and the sculptural Lin Utzon vase created in close collaboration with Erik Rosendahl.
Last but by no means least, Rosendahl has generated enthusiasm for its functional, classic Grand Cru range of tableware, a most attractive blend of Danish and Japanese styling.
In addition, Rosendahl works closely with designer Ole Palsby, whose designs include the aesthetic Rosendahl storage jars with their simple, clean-cut lines. The timeless look of the jars, combined with their multitude of uses, makes them classic items in many homes around the world.
Rosendahl is also famous for its ultra-minimalist Watch range, designed by award-winning Danish designer Flemming Bo Hansen, one of the few Danes to be represented at the Museum of Modern Art. The Watch range is characterised by its simple, clean lines and a harmony of black wristbands and clock faces interacting with matte steel.
Erik Bagger (b. 1949) is originally a goldsmith by trade. After finishing his apprenticeship, he was employed by Georg Jensen, where he worked until he became self-employed. As a goldsmith, Erik Bagger acquired a keen sense of detail, which is still characteristic in his designs today. At the same time he has learned that it is possible to combine a series of different materials in a unified whole.
A visit to USA was the reason Erik Bagger decided to become a freelance designer in 1987. However, it was also because that he could see the endless opportunites presented by the combination of steel, plastic and rubber. And something that is typical "erik bagger" was that he was also able to see the humor in using these materials. Some, and perhaps the majority of people, view rubber, plastic and steel as symbols of a cold and industrialized world. But when these materials have been through the hands of Erik Bagger, a warm and user friendly product, with a "sparkle in the eye", is produced.
Erik Bagger has the following demands on the design:
- - Maximum value in the design
- - Maximum quality
- - Maximum functionality
For if the product does not have these three qualities, it won't bear the name of Erik Bagger.View other products by Erik Bagger

Professor MS Swaminathan, member of parliament (Rajya Sabha), India, and emeritus chairman, MS Swaminathan Research Foundation, Chennai, India
My association with biotechnology started in 1950 when I was at the University of Cambridge, where Dr Watson and Dr Crick were also working at that time. Their discovery of the double helix structure of DNA opened up uncommon opportunities in the fields of genetic recombination.
In 1981, when I was serving as chairman of the Science Advisory Committee to the Cabinet of India, I developed a proposal for establishing a National Biotechnology Board, mainly as a coordinating agency for bringing convergence and synergy among the programs initiated by the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), Indian Council for Agricultural Research (ICAR), Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), University Grants Commission (UGC), Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) and Department of Science and Technology (DST). On the suggestion of Ms Indira Gandhi, the then Prime Minister, I served as the first chairperson of the National Biotechnology Board.
One of my first initiatives was related to the use of micropropagation in the multiplication of bamboo. This work was undertaken by a team led by Professor HY Mohan Ram of the Delhi University. I also got the Delhi University involved in the study of bamboo rats. With the help of Mr KR Narayanan, who was our then ambassador to the US, I organized a meeting of the leading Indian biotechnologists settled in the US and Canada in our Embassy at Washington, US. This meeting resulted in the organization of an International Advisory Group to guide us both in relation to research priorities and human resource development.
After I left the Union Planning Commission to join as the director general of the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI), Philippines in April 1982, I organized at IRRI an international consultation on the application of biotechnology, particularly genetic engineering, in the improvement of crop yields.
This meeting resulted in the Rockefeller Foundation supporting an International Rice Biotechnology Network. This large Network funded by the Rockefeller Foundation for over 15 years resulted in very valuable genetic material possessing resistance to important pests and diseases.

During the month of December, you typically see an increase in giving. I have had the pleasure of working at CREATE Foundation for nearly 28 years and have seen throughout those years the generosity of many donors. Whether it's helping donors establish advised funds, endowments or memorial scholarship funds, I see the impact of giving and the difference it makes in the lives of people and charitable organizations.
I thought about how giving really can impact lives and how important it is to give. Several local high school students really wanted to go to Starkville to the Mississippi State/Jackson State football game to see Jackson's Sonic Boom Band perform. Several did not have the money to purchase tickets. After hearing about my desire to take the group to the game, an avid Mississippi State supporter donated the tickets. Another person gladly paid for the gas. Because of their enjoyment of that college experience, I later took several of those girls to Jackson State. One senior made up her mind to attend that college! George McLean said, "It is a joyful thing when you really feel that you are making a contribution to people…"
Phil King, the father of bank teller, Alecia Powell, for many years, unselfishly made an impact on many people's lives. His family wasn't aware of this until he passed away. After the funeral, numerous people shared how Mr. King made a difference in their lives.
Another giver provides money to bury individuals whose families don't have the resources to pay for their loved ones' funerals. The person said, "Juanita, people have got to be buried and the good Lord blessed me to be able to help." Many families benefit from this person's generosity and they don't even know it. I share these stories to show the impact of one's giving. My mother, Bernice Gambrell, said, "Make a difference, be it great or small. Do your part." You never know how your giving helps and how it will affect generations of people.
I thought about Mississippi being ranked as the poorest state in the nation; yet, it retains its title as one of the most giving and generous states. I pondered, "What is it about man that, in spite of our differences, races, beliefs, imperfections and attitudes we give to help mankind – whether it's great or small?" What is it about us? Could it be that we are made in His image? A passage of scripture even asks, "What is man, that Thou art mindful of him…?" I then thought about the greatest gift of all – the father gave his son to save mankind. Could it be that it is inbred in us to be natural givers just like our creator?
Giving makes a difference – whether one gives to a community foundation such as CREATE, or to an individual or an organization. During this season of giving, think about what you could do to impact lives. What can you give? Who can you give to? Are you willing to give just as the creator gave to us? You be the judge.

So, now that my three-months of hosting is about to expire with Namecheap (because I only paid for three months, not for some shifty reason) – I'm finally getting back on track.
Except – I think Juliana (the baby) has a radar for when Mommy is on the laptop because I hear her getting cranky from the playroom. She may be just mad at some toys though.
lol … I used the word "Mommy" and in my Zemanta sidebar on this LiveWriter program I am getting naked shots of people who have undergone the "Mommy Makeover" plastic surgery. Heh … thanks for the humor this morning Zemanta!
Speaking of Mommy Makeovers – you can find me on MyFitnessPal.com because my fat ass is trying to lose weight! Huzzah! Are you on the site? It's actually super, duper helpful! I am one of those OCD types who have to write down everything they eat in order to stay on track … The one thing that the MFP app (for the iPhone at least) has that the SparkPeople app doesn't? The ability to scan bar-codes and get nutritional information! Hence – I'm using MFP instead of SparkPeople.
Okay – I really have to jump in the shower and get ready for work now. Just wanted to check in with my readers and let them know am I still sortof alive here.

Biography All Music Guide
All Music Guide:
The pride of Colleyville, Texas, Bryce Avary recorded and released two initial EPs before taking the Rocket Summer to stages worldwide. Avary signed with the Militia Group in 2002 and released the Calendar Days LP a short time after; a gifted songwriter and musician, he played every instrument heard on the album, debuting a lush, layered, and exuberant sound that blended alt-rock and emo influences with references to his faith. The Tim O'Heir-produced Hello, Good Friend followed in 2005. By that time the Rocket Summer had gained a reputation not only for Avary's multi-threat talent in the studio, but for his and his band's energetic live shows. Militia reissued his first self-titled EP in November 2006, retitled The Early Years EP, whose original 1,000 copies had been sold out since Avary had recorded and released it at age 16 (circa 1999/2000). An EP was released in early 2007 and, following a move to Island/Def Jam Records, Avary released his third full-length, Do You Feel. In 2009 Avary released the four-song EP, You Gotta Believe, which featured material that would appear on the band's fourth album, 2010's Of Men and Angels. It reached the Top 40, and in 2012, Rocket Summer returned with Life Will Write the Words.

Zapata joined UTSA in 1976 as a faculty member in the Division of Education, and in August 2000 he became founding dean of the UTSA College of Public Policy. From 1983 to 1986, he co-directed the UTSA Bilingual Counselor Training Program and directed Project I-Teach. In 1989, Zapata established the Hispanic Research Center.
Throughout his tenure at UTSA, Zapata has published in a variety of scholarly journals including "Journal of Child and Adolescent Substance Abuse" and "Hispanic Journal of Behavioral Sciences." His most recent publications focus on substance abuse among Hispanic public school students.
In 1994, Zapata was named the first associate provost for the UTSA Downtown Campus and now serves as vice provost.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Brig. Gen. Jeffrey Sinclair, fired from his command in Afghanistan last May and now facing a court-martial on charges of sodomy, adultery and pornography and more, is just one in a long line of commanders whose careers were ended because of possible sexual misconduct.
Sex has proved to be the downfall of presidential candidates, members of Congress, governors and other notables. It's also among the chief reasons that senior military officers are fired.
At least 30 percent of military commanders fired over the past eight years lost their jobs because of sexually related offenses, including harassment, adultery, and improper relationships, according to statistics compiled by The Associated Press.
The figures bear out growing concerns by Defense Department and military leaders over declining ethical values among U.S. forces, and they highlight the pervasiveness of a problem that came into sharp relief because of the resignation of one of the Army's most esteemed generals, David Petraeus, and the investigation of a second general, John Allen, the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan.
The statistics from all four military services show that adulterous affairs are more than a four-star foible. From sexual assault and harassment to pornography, drugs and drinking, ethical lapses are an escalating problem for the military's leaders.
US Army General Jeffrey A. Sinclair Charged With Multiple Sex Crimes
(The Inquisitr) – September 26, 2012 – A US Army Brigadier General has been charged with multiple sex crimes, including forcible sodomy, inappropriate relationships, and adultery. He was also charged with possessing alcohol and pornography while he served as a senior commander in Afghanistan earlier this year.
Sinclair was sent home to the US in May in the middle of his Afghanistan combat tour, where he served in southern Afghanistan as the deputy commander of logistics and support. He was sent to the division's home base of Fort Bragg, North Carolina, while potential misconduct allegations were investigated.

Thread: Nerites will crawl out of tanks
Nerites will crawl out of tanks
Most of you have already heard it, that nerites can crawl out of fish tanks. I knew it too but I never really thought of it as a big issue up until today. One of my tracked nerites went missing a few weeks ago. I searched every corner of the tank but was not able to find it and just concluded that it died in some unseen cranny of the tank. Today I was cleaning around the tank and saw something wedged between the outlet splitter and the tank stand. It was a nerite snail. The snail must have managed to overcome the rim of the tank, dropped 4 ft. To the ground, continued crawling for a foot and then lay there for two weeks before I found it! Fortunately the snail survived the two weeks out of water. I will commence snail-proofing the tank immediately...
I have found them on the outside of the glass a time or two lol. It was never habitual with them and other than looking really weird never caused any issues other than making me run for the test kit to see if they were trying to tell me something about the water..
They weren't, They were just out for a cruise. It hasn't happened since so I guess once in a rare while you get an adventurous snail.
Gas mileage isn't everything OIIIIIIIO
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.
mine surface regularly, but to eat the limescale that builds up at the waterline. none have ever made such an expedition except this time but I am not going to take any chances!
wow, I can't believe the snail survived for two weeks out of water.
I haven't had any of mine make a run for it, but I have noticed that when I'm doing a water change, every other species of snail that happens to find itself suddenly above the waterline will make a beeline for the water - but not nerites. They just sit there.300 gallon mega tank: sailfin pleco, clown loaches, silver dollars, roseline sharks, congo tetras, new world cichlids

Say hello to Kurt and Jason
Sunday, April 23, 2017
Hello! The Multiplex 10 Kickstarter project ends in just over 14 days. As of this writing, we are a little north of $12,000, so just over 80% of our base goal. Judging from my last two Kickstarters, we're doing very well. The final week should pick up considerably over this past week.
BUT don't forget that we still have a milestone goal of Jason reviewing every Harry Potter movie if we make that $15,000 baseline goal on/before Wednesday, April 26th, though! (Plus Fantastic Beasts if we make it on/before Monday, April 24th. But that seems kind of unlikely at this point.) I thought that was a fun premise… but it's up to the Gods of Kickstarter now.
I also officially added our first (and, at this point, only) STRETCH GOAL. At $20,000, we'll be able to do a few extra things:
- Smoother, 4K animation
- 5.1 Surround Sound mix (courtesy sound designer Ian Vargo)
- AND… a theatrical premiere at the Somerville Theatre here in Somerville, MA. (All backers at the Special Thanks level and up will get free admission… although, of course, transportation is not provided.)
Thanks so much for all your support. I'm exciting at how the Kickstarter project is coming together, and I can't wait to get started on the animated short. (Full time, I mean. I'm already working on it!)
Pledge your support today! If you haven't already!

We did 2 dives, both times I was buddied with one of the divemasters (since I'm just a beginner!). There are two great things about diving here: first, the vis is incredible! Even at 60 feet under the water, the sun shines right down and you can see forever. Amazing. The second is that the water is so unbelievably warm...at 60 feet it is still 25C. You could go without any sort of wetsuit at all, and you would be perfectly comfortable.
Both dives were to 60 ft, and lasted 40-45 minutes, and I still had air
At one point I was a few feet lower than three other divers, and I looked up towards them and the surface, with the sunlight streaming down, and their bubbles rising like glass balls... I was completely weightless, and it was so quiet....there is definitely no other feeilng like it on earth! Complete heaven. Like floating in a bubble. I completely understand how people get hooked...
As I relaxed, I could hear everything, including the diver next to me inflating and exhausting his BCD! That was a first for me. In Van, usually I could only hear my loud, nervous breaths. It's great what you can see and hear when you relax.
The second dive we went all the way around the small island, catching a bit of the current on the way back. On the far side of the island the sunlight was blocked, so it wasn't quite as clear, but still amazing. Some of the guys had brought their own gear and were in full wetsuits with hoods and everything, I thought they must be sweating to death! Really they were descending a lot lower than me, and the water temperature probably is a bit cooler.
We had lunch on the boat, soaked in the sun, and then returned at about 6pm. It was a fabulous day, and I can't wait to get to the Red Sea soon...

Great Backyard Bird Count begins Friday
Bird watchers, as well as everyday citizens can start noticing their feathered friends by counting them during the 14th annual Great Backyard Bird Count.
The Bird Count will begin Feb. 18 and end Feb. 21, 2011. If everyone participates, there will be a clear snapshot of all of the types of birds that live in specific regions throughout the country and Canada and there will also be a tally that shows how many birds live in what areas.
The event is coordinated by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, Audubon, and Bird Studies Canada, and there are normally 10 million observations recorded during this four-day event.
Birds are often seen migrating in the air from place to place, but during the wintertime, they are also seen trying to keep warm in birdhouses or flying from bird feeder to bird feeder trying to keep warm between their wintry flights. The reality is that birds are everywhere, but are seldom counted and recognized. These birds have a chance to be recognized and noticed for their beauty and color.
Bird watchers will gather from coast to coast waiting on that one chance to spot their favorite feathered friend taking a drink of water or flying to their next destination. Birds can be counted in front yards, back yards, at work, in parks, and everywhere else. The GBBC is a free event and the goal is to identify different species of birds and help provide information that can help scientists and ornithologists learn more about environmental changes and how that affects the bird's habitat and conservation as a whole.
Information collected during this continent-wide bird count gives scientists valuable information about bird distribution and movement.
Last year's participants reported more than 1.8 million American Robins, as well as rarities such as the first Red-billed Tropicbird in the count's 13-year history.
Members of the New Albany Garden Club are encouraging community citizens to participate. In 2010, 33 species of birds from the 38652 zip code were reported. The most common birds that were seen and reported were the Northern Cardinal, the Common Grackle, and the American Goldfinch. In Mississippi, 189 species were reported.
"Whether people notice birds in backyards, parks, or wilderness areas, we ask that they share their counts at www.birdcount.org," said Judy Braus, Audubon's senior vice president of Education and Centers. "It's fun and rewarding for people of all ages and skill levels."
"When thousands of people all tell us what they're seeing, we can detect changes in birds' numbers and locations from year to year," said Janis Dickinson, director of Citizen Science at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology.
"An isolated event such as the dead birds in Arkansas may be within the range of normal ups and downs for an abundant species like the Red-winged Blackbird," Dickinson said. "But the count can serve as an early warning system for worrisome declines in bird populations that result from more widespread problems."
The Great Backyard Bird Count is made possible in part by sponsor Wild Birds Unlimited.
Participants that take place in this bird count are considered 'citizen scientists' and each person can tally the number of birds seen, along with the species' name online at www.birdcount.org.
For complete information on counting, identifying, and reporting birds, go to www.birdcount.org.

Where I stayed
Hotel Posada Los Bucaros
Tourists visit the city every year from around the world to enjoy its natural beauty and historic monuments. The Spanish Colonial style permeates every part of the town (as you can see from the many pictures): its houses, churches, squares, parks and ruins, also its traditions and folklore as well (you saw some of this from my Xmas video at the church).
The city sits in a Highland valley (1,500 meters/almost 1 mile) overlooked by the spectacular Agua Volcano (3,765 meters/2.3 miles high). A little further away are two other volcanoes Acatenango and the always smoking, sometimes erupting, Fuego.
During our stay we took a "Coffee Plantation Tour" just outside the city, in which I created a short video showing the process it takes to bring a cup of fresh coffee to you in the morning. It is a very involved, from the growing of the beans to the roasting.

Skills and Training
Welcome to Your Classroom
Do you ever stop to think about what inspired you to teach? Whether you're a brand new teacher looking for your first job, or a teacher with a year or two behind you, join us as we take a look at the inspiration behind teachers of excellence. In our first lesson, you'll learn to draw on your inspiration as you face the academic (and not so academic) challenges ahead.
Plan Your Dream Classroom
Preparing your first classroom can be daunting if you don't have an action plan. From color theory to desk arrangement and bulletin boards, do you know how you want to stimulate your students visually? In this lesson, you'll find out the best ways to bring that touch of home and warmth to your classroom.
Make Your Lesson Plans
If you've ever wondered exactly how to fill those six hours you'll spend teaching, look no further than creative, engaging lesson plans. In today's lesson, you'll discover the differences between full and condensed sets of lesson plans, and you'll learn how to build student excitement with a strong anticipatory set.
Differentiate Instruction
You may not know it yet, but differentiated instruction is probably second nature to you. It's all about modifying your curricular objectives to meet diverse student needs. In this lesson, you'll find out how to use interest centers, cubing, and tiering as easy methods of differentiating instruction in your class.
Reach Special Needs Students
Not so long ago, special needs students were relegated to different classrooms with their own teachers. Now it's becoming more and more popular to include them in the regular classroom. This brings a host of new learning challenges and opportunities. In this lesson, we'll explore common special needs, IEPs, and smart ways to incorporate diverse learning objectives into your teaching routine.
Get Organized
Did you know that you shouldn't have more than five classroom rules? Are you prepared in the event of a fire drill? If you've been searching for the right rules, routines, and organization tips to make your classroom flow smoothly, look no further. This lesson will show you a bunch of time-saving tips that will help you add order to your classroom.
Build Lasting Relationships at School
The key to teaching is building strong relationships between school and home. This starts with your students and ideally extends across the campus, into the home, and out to the community. Today, you'll learn tactics to win students, engage parents, and impress the school as you set an example as a strong communicator.
Negotiate Discipline and Rewards
One of the biggest classroom dilemmas is how to handle discipline and rewards—striking that balance between overreaction and fair play can be tricky. Luckily, you can use your communication skills to bridge conflict and turn classroom problems into teaching opportunities. In this lesson, you'll learn how to do just that.
Write Effective Assignments and Tests
Writing assignments and tests is never a thrill, even when you know exactly what learning you want to measure and how you want to do it. Today, you'll discover the power of rubrics, tests that account for a wide range of student diversity, and creative assignments that bring out the best in all your learners.
Plan Exciting Classroom Events
Does the thought of public speaking make you cringe? It's natural for new teachers to be nervous about milestone events like Back to School Night, parent-teacher conferences, and field trips into the community. However, with planning, organization, and a little bit of homework on your part, you'll be able to pull off smooth events that look like they were planned by a pro.
Manage Stress
We all reach a burn-out point some time in those first few years. In this lesson, you'll learn to build balance in your life so that the job will never overwhelm you too much. From classroom strategies to make your life less hectic to after-hours relaxation tips that help veteran teachers let loose, you'll learn the best ways to keep stress at bay.
Nail Interviews to Advance Your Career
When you're ready to advance your career to the next level, you'll need to showcase not just what you've done, but what you're ready to do in a new classroom. It has to do with how you package your skills. In our final lesson, you'll discover what administrators are looking for and how to wow them with your creativity.

The first U.S. national finals of Get in the Ring: The American Startup Clash will give America's most outstanding entrepreneurs an opportunity to compete against founders from across the country and around the world.
Get in the Ring is a startup pitch competition founded by the Erasmus Centre for Entrepreneurship in the Netherlands to bring the world's most promising entrepreneurs together with those who can help them succeed and to inspire others to start their entrepreneurial journeys.
There were 283 entrepreneurs who met the qualifications for entry into the competition. At the semifinals in September, 40 startups were selected to advance to the second round. In October, the eight finalists were selected to compete at this week's finals at The Kauffman Foundation. The winner, KCK startup EyeVerify, will advance to the international finals in Rotterdam on November 22. KCPT was ringside and presents highlights on a special edition of The Local Show.
UPDATE: Toby Rush, founder and CEO of Kansas City, Kan.-based EyeVerify, did more than represent the United States in today's international finals of "Get in the Ring: The Investment Battle" – he brought home the global championship. Rush, who won the U.S. title on Monday night at the Kauffman Foundation, traveled to Rotterdam, the Netherlands, where he bested finalists from Bulgaria, Canada, Germany, Greece, the Netherlands, Spain, and the United Kingdom. For the past five years, the international competition has brought together entrepreneurs from around the world to share their entrepreneurial journeys, present their businesses, and vie for the title of the world's most promising startup.

Liberal elite
From Conservapedia
(Redirected from Liberal Elite)
The Liberal Elite is a term used to describe those high-ranking members of society - politicians, college educators and celebrities - who regularly promote the liberal agenda to unsuspecting teenagers and young people.
The Liberal Elite believe they are superior to others. Not in a physical sense but mentally, they have their high ground and nobody dare challenge. If you challenge the Liberal Elite thinking and beliefs, you risk being ridiculed.

Every once in awhile we all need to step back and regain our focus. In the context of Scouting, some [adult] leaders tend to forget why they are here and what they are here for.
For new leaders it is important to do things right and to be taught to do those things that effect the program right. Getting a clear picture, or focus, on what it is that we are here in Scouting for.
I have recently been going through the process of reestablishing my focus in Scouting. It was nice to see that I had not lost sight of the goal or direction of the Troop, but like everyone.. I needed a step back, a shake of the head to clear the cob webs out and reset my eyes on what is important in Scouting, especially as it applies to my Troop.
So…. In my refocus period I came across some great information that I would like to share. It is nothing new..in fact it is pretty darn old.. and it won't tell you anything you don't already know.. I share it for focus.
The 1932 Scoutmaster handbook (13th printing) talks about the Scout Program.
"In order to develop and maintain a uniform understanding of what Scouting is, it's aims and purposes and elements essential to making its aims and purposes effective, all Scouters and other Leaders, and especially all who conduct training courses for Scout Leaders, shall emphasize:
First: That Scouting is a game.
Second: That the aim and purpose of the Boy Scouts of America as set forth in Article II of the Constitution is character-building and citizenship-training by developing, training and making available through organization, leadership, which capitalizes boys' desires to be Scouts and makes it possible for them to engage in Scouting activities as a game.
Third: That the essential elements in the Boy Scout program are the Scout Oath and Law and the Ideals of Service resulting in the practice of the Daily Good Turn and organized service for others. All Scout activities should be regarded as a means of making ideals effective."
" 1. The Boy – Individual, Patrol, Troop
3. Activity – Achievement with Recognition
4. Organization – Institutional – Local, Regional, National, and International (to include Professional Leadership.
5. Scout Oath and Law- Ideals of Service."
As we begin the celebration of the Boy Scouts of America's 100th Anniversary, lets refocus ourselves and remember what is important and good about Scouting. A quick look to the past can surely guide our future.
Happy Scouting!

Tutorial Registration: Image Processing Using MATLAB
|Thursday, February 7, 2013, 01:00 pm - 03:00 pm
|575 Walter
|Ravishankar Chityala, MSI
MATLAB is a general computational platform for rapid development of programs. It also has several toolboxes that allow specialized computation on images. One such toolbox, the Image Processing Toolbox, has hundreds of functions that can be used to perform operations on images.
The various image processing operations can be classified into reading, processing and writing images. We will begin the tutorial by performing simple image reading operations on jpeg, gif, etc. We will also discuss reading complex image formats like DICOM. We will then perform various image processing operations like filtering, visualization and analysis. We will output these images to different formats to be read by other applications.
Finally, we will conclude with hands-on practice using various example images. You are also welcome to bring specific questions and problems that you would like to discuss.

By Brad Locke/NEMS Daily Journal
The NCAA Committee of Infractions will announce its findings of an investigation of Mississippi State's football program on Friday. ESPN first reported the news today, and an MSU official confirmed that there will be a teleconference with the NCAA at 10 a.m., 15 minutes after its report is released.
ESPN also reported that MSU committed infractions considered to be major, and that they involve both former assistant coach Angelo Mirando and current defensive back Will Redmond. What penalties might be levied is not known, although the report says that head coach Dan Mullen will not be directly implicated in any violations.
In August, the school said in a release, "Over the last several months, Mississippi State has worked in cooperation with the N.C.A.A. to examine a potential recruiting irregularity." The irregularity reportedly Mirando, who had just resigned his position citing "unforeseen personal issues." ESPN reported that Mirando was being examined by the NCAA for his actions while recruiting at least one current MSU student-athlete.
Redmond, a freshman, is at the center of this investigation. ESPN reported that he was interviewed by the NCAA regarding this case, and Redmond's 7-on-7 coach claimed that Redmond was offered $6,000 by an MSU booster, who has since been disassociated by the school for making impermissible contact with a student-athlete.
MSU officials will not be offering a comment until Friday.
Britton Banowsky, chair of the Committee of Infractions and commissioner of Conference USA, will be speaking on the teleconference Friday.
Mirando, a former graduate assistant at MSU, was promoted to receivers coach prior to the 2011 season. Redmond, a Memphis product, redshirted this past season.

Applications of Systems of Inequalities
Chapter Summary
You learned that a system of equations or inequalities means more than one equation or inequality.
To solve a system of equations you can graph the system and look for the point of intersection or use one of two algebraic methods (substitution or elimination). Sometimes a system of equations has no solution because the two lines are parallel. Other times the system has an infinite number of solutions because the lines coincide.
A linear inequality appears as a region in the Cartesian plane. To solve a system of linear inequalities, graph both and look for where their solution regions overlap. This region is often called the feasible region. Systems of linear inequalities can help you solve problems where you have multiple constraints on different variables and you are trying to figure out how to maximize or minimize something (like profit or cost). The maximum or minimum values will occur at one of the vertices of the feasible region according to the Vertex Theorem. These types of problems are sometimes referred to as linear programming problems.
