Santa Fe, N.M. - New Mexico Film Office Director Nick Maniatis announced today that the television series "The Night Shift," produced by Sony Pictures Television and airing on NBC, has begun principal photography through July in Albuquerque.
"Season 4 continues the strong run for 'The Night Shift' and Sony Pictures Television," said New Mexico Film Office Director Nick Maniatis. "The longer a TV show runs, the more contributions to our economy and the more New Mexicans work."
The production will employ approximately 350 New Mexico crew members, 100 New Mexico principal actors and approximately 2,500 New Mexico background talent.
"Albuquerque welcomes 'The Night Shift' back to our city for its fourth season. We support the movie and television industry, and the movie and television industry supports our economy; it's a great thing for everyone," said Mayor Richard J. Berry.
Created and executive produced by Gabe Sachs and Jeff Judah, the ensemble medical drama "The Night Shift" follows the lives of the doctors and staff members who work the overnight shift in the Emergency Room at San Antonio Memorial Hospital.

SANTA FE — New Mexico Film Office Director Nick Maniatis announced today that the independent feature "Long Dumb Road" produced by Long Dumb Road, LLC filmed in Albuquerque and Belen this month.

"The Long Dumb Road" is the story of two very different men at personal crossroads who meet serendipitously and take an unpredictable journey through the American southwest.

Santa Fe, N.M. - New Mexico Film Office Director Nick Maniatis announced today that the television limited series "Waco" produced by The Weinstein Company, will begin principal photography mid-April thru the end of June in Santa Fe. The six part series will premiere on Paramount Network in 2018.
"The Weinstein Company is known for high quality projects with intriguing storylines and 'Waco' is no exception," said New Mexico State Film Office Director Nick Maniatis. "A mini-series means a longer production time, more money being spent and more people working."
"We're very happy to have 'Waco' here, particularly because of the number and variety of locations they're using throughout Santa Fe County," said County Manager Katherine Miller. "From the studios to the rural southern reaches to urban County office space, we're glad to accommodate such a wide-ranging production."
The production will employ approximately 250 New Mexico crew members and approximately 2,000 New Mexico background talent.
"Waco" is directed by John Erick Dowdle ("No Escape," "As Above, So Below") and Dennie Gordon ("Legion," "Power," "Empire") along with producers Harvey Weinstein ("Six," "Project Runway," "Lion"), Salvatore Stabile ("The Sopranos," "Rescue Me," Revenge" "Power") and Drew Dowdle ("No Escape," "As Above, So Below").
Starring Michael Shannon ("Man of Steel," "Nocturnal Animals," "Midnight Special"), Taylor Kitsch ("Lone Survivor," "True Detective," "The Normal Heart"), Paul Sparks ("Midnight Special," "Boardwalk Empire," "The Night Of"), Andrea Riseborough ("Birdman," "Nocturnal Animals," "The Witness for the Prosecution"), Rory Culkin ("Signs," "Sneaky Pete," "Columbus"), Shea Whigham ("Boardwalk Empire," "Fargo," "Vice Principals") and John Leguizamo ("Bloodline," "The Crash," "John Wick: Chapter 2").
"Waco" will reveal the untold story exploring the true life details leading up to and chronicling the 1993 standoff between the FBI, ATF and David Koresh's spiritual sect, The Branch Davidians. Told from several perspectives of those most intimately involved in both sides of the conflict, this story has never been shared on television before and is surprising in its stark contrast to the media narrative at the time and what is remembered of Waco almost 25 years later.
Shannon, Kitsch, the Dowdle brothers and Salvatore Stabile will executive produce the series along with TWC Co-Chairmen Harvey Weinstein and Bob Weinstein, President and COO David Glasser, Co-head of Production Jennifer Malloy, and Head of Scripted Television Megan Spanjian of Weinstein Television. Ted Gold, Senior Vice President, Scripted Original Series and Lauren Ruggiero, Vice President, Scripted Programming, will oversee the project for Paramount Network.

Last weekend, I was at the Debian Med Meeting in Travemünde near Lübeck, thanks to an invitation by Steffen Möller and Andreas Tille.
It was a great opportunity to finally meet Steffen and some of the other bioinformatics people in Debian like Manuel Prinz face-to-face for the first time. Also, lots of upstream and related bioinformatics packagers from e.g. Biolinux were present as well, many of them from the UK.
I discussed with and helped some people about Debian packaging. There is a big push to get Debian packages done and integrated in Debian and Ubuntu, but often enough people are not exactly sure what the requirements are and what needs to be done. Hopefully, the sprint was successful to clear things up and move forward.
I also managed to finalize the initial Jmol packaging and uploaded it to Debian towards the end of the sprint. I plan to update the other bioinformatics related packages in debichem like pymol and openbabel as soon as squeeze is released.
Overall, it was a great weekend, many thanks to NERC and Debian for making it possible, and to Steffen Möller for organizing it!

The Great Warming
Why It Matters
How Hot is Too Hot?
You've probably heard of mass extinctions. At least the one 65 million years ago which did away with most of the dinosaurs and paved the way for the Age of Mammals. But did you know there was a bigger one?
Even though scientists may have some of the broad strokes figured out as far as the end of the Permian Era goes, there are still lots of unanswered questions. Watch this video and find out about some of the questions scientists from the Smithsonian Institute are working on.
But even when the extinctions were done, the situation didn't improve quickly. It took far longer for ecosystems to recover from the Permian Extinction event (around 5 million years!) than other mass extinctions of which we know (usually 10s of thousands of years), and as you may have guessed, this bugs scientists. But scientists are persistent and new research is providing evidence that global temperatures stayed too hot to be coped with by most plants and animals. Read this article to find out more about this new research. Take particular note of the graphic showing the extent of the "Dead Zone".

Use the resources below to answer the following questions:
- What do scientists think started the Permian extinction 250 million years ago?
- What is a mantle plume? How does it differ from other volcanic discharges?
- What are the three phases of the Permian extinction event? How do these phases relate to each other?
- What is scientists' current explanation for the 12C spike after the marine extinction?
- Where was the "Dead Zone" after the Permian Extinction event geographically centered? Why do you think this was? Explain your answer as fully as you can.
- If Homo sapiens were around at the time of the Permian Extinction do you think we would have survived? Why or why not? Explain your reasoning as fully as possible.
- Recent work has shown that ocean temperatures reached 40°C after the Permian Extinction event. What does this mean to people trying to model climate change? What had they previously assumed?
- How are scientists trying to recreate food webs from the Permian Era? What do they hope to learn from this information? What have they found out so far?

What School Librarians Do
Information Literacy
The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) states on their website that "Information and media literacy enables people to interpret and make informed judgments as users of information and media, as well as to become skillful creators and producers of information and media messages in their own right.
The following resources may be used to guide parents through the maze of information about information literacy and help to facilitate acquisition of these 21st century skills.
Communications in Information Literacy
Communications in Information Literacy (CIL) is an independent, professional, refereed electronic journal dedicated to advancing knowledge, theory, and research in the area of information literacy. The journal is committed to the principles of information literacy as set forth by the Association of College and Research Libraries. CIL is also committed to the principles of open access for academic research.
Discipline-based Information Literacy: Experience, Themes and Recommendations
Information Literacy: A set of abilities requiring individuals to "recognize when information is needed and have the ability to locate, evaluate and use effectively the needed information." (Information Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education, ACRL, 2000.) This website is provided by the Gould Library, Carleton College.
Handbook for Information Literacy Teaching
Welcome to the Handbook for Information Literacy Teaching (HILT). This Handbook was written by a group of subject librarians at Cardiff University to support their colleagues in Information Services as they developed their information literacy teaching.
Information Fluency Continuum
The New York City School Library System uses an inquiry model in their schools. Inquiry is an essence of teaching and learning that empowers students to follow their sense of wonder into new discoveries and insights about the way the world works. The empowered learner calls upon information/inquiry skills to connect with what he or she knows, ask intriguing questions about what is not known, investigate the answers, construct new understandings, and communicate to share those understandings with others.
Information Literacy
Information Literacy resources can be located on this site, Learning and Teaching Scotland (LTS), funded in part by the Scottish government.
Information Literacy Curricula and Standards
The New York State School Library Systems envision that all members of the school community will be able to obtain and use information to develop ideas, solve problems, create products in order to become productive citizens and to achieve individual potential.
The Information Literacy Website
This website has been designed and developed by information professionals from key UK organisations actively involved in the field of information literacy. The site supports practitioners by providing news, case studies, examples of best practice and freely available toolkits. Their aim is to provide a practical resource that information professionals regularly visit to discover the latest developments in information literacy.
Institute for Library and Information Literacy Education (ILILE)
The Institute for Library and Information Literacy Education provides local, regional and national leadership in fostering valuable collaboration among teachers, school library media specialists and academic faculty who work together to promote information literacy in the K-16 classroom.
National Forum on Information Literacy
The National Forum on Information Literacy was created in 1989 as a response to the recommendations of the American Library Association's Presidential Committee on Information Literacy. These education, library, and business leaders stated that no other change in American society has offered greater challenges than the emergence of the Information Age. Information is expanding at an unprecedented rate, and enormously rapid strides are being made in technology for storing, organizing, and accessing the ever-growing tidal wave of information.
UNESCO-CI: Information and Media Literacy
UNESCO's mission in this area consists of fostering information and media literate societies by encouraging the development of national information and media literacy policies, including in education.
Information Literacy: The Partnership for 21st Century Skills
The Framework for 21st Century Learning presents a holistic view of 21st century teaching and learning that combines a discrete focus on 21st century student outcomes (a blending of specific skills, content knowledge, expertise and literacies) with innovative support systems to help students master the multi-dimensional abilities required of them in the 21st century.
InfoLit Global
The primary purpose of the Information Literacy Section is to foster international cooperation in the development of information skills education in all types of libraries. The Section focuses on all aspects of information literacy including user education, learning styles, the use of computers and media in teaching and learning, networked resources, partnerships with teaching faculty in the development of instructional programmes, distance education, and the training of librarians in teaching information and technical skills.
Information Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education
The Association of College & Research Libraries (ACRL) defines information literacy as a set of abilities requiring individuals to "recognize when information is needed and have the ability to locate, evaluate, and use effectively the needed information." Information literacy also is increasingly important in the contemporary environment of rapid technological change and proliferating information resources.
Information Literacy Weblog
Information Literacy: "the adoption of appropriate information behaviour to identify, through whatever channel or medium, information well fitted to information needs, leading to wise and ethical use of information in society."—Sheila Webb is a faculty member in the Department of Information Studies, University of Sheffield, UK.
Information Literacy
What is Information Literacy? Information Literacy is the ability to identify what information is needed, understand how the information is organized, identify the best sources of information for a given need, locate those sources, evaluate the sources critically, and share that information. It is the knowledge of commonly used research techniques.
National Forum on Information Literacy
Information Literacy is defined as the ability to know when there is a need for information, to be able to identify, locate, evaluate, and effectively use that information for the issue or problem at hand.
Project Information Literacy is national research project, based in the University of Washington's Information School. Their goal is "to understand how early adults conceptualize and operationalize research activities for course work and everyday use and especially how they resolve issues of credibility, authority, relevance, and currency in the digital age.
TRAILS: Tool for Real-time Assessment of Information Literacy Skills
TRAILS is a knowledge assessment with multiple-choice questions targeting a variety of information literacy skills based on sixth and ninth grade standards. This Web-based system was developed to provide an easily accessible and flexible tool for library media specialists and teachers to identify strengths and weaknesses in the information-seeking skills of their students.

By: Ann Straub, Adam Flanagan & Briana Hallett
In 1990 Trinity Episcopal Cathedral mounted a preservation program to address important monuments belonging to a burial ground still existing today between the Trinity Episcopal Cathedral and the First Presbyterian Church of Sixth Avenue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Through collaboration with the Architectural Conservation Laboratory of the School of Design at the University of Pennsylvania, the church has successfully finished a full survey of the churchyard and markers, assessed conditions and undertaken pilot conservation treatments.
Native Americans, who were the first descendants of what is now Pittsburgh, claimed this area of land to bury their deceased. They converted it into an ancient Native American Tumulus; which is known as a burying mound. It was located accurately between the two churches. During the French's occupancy of Fort Duquesne (1754) they had a small log chapel within the Fort named The Assumption of the Virgin Mary. A road from the fort elongated along Liberty Avenue and a path branched off to the Native American burying ground. The path was also known as The Assumption of the Virgin Mary, or Virgin Alley this is now Oliver Avenue. From 1754-1758, French soldiers that had passed on were confined at the burying ground of their Native American allies. The burying ground later was used by the British of Fort Pitt and also by the early settlers in the area. On September 24th, 1758 John and John Penn Jr. who were nephews of William Penn deposited the land to the Congregation of the Episcopal Church as a "site for a house of worship and a burial place for the use of said religious society and their successors and for no other use, intent or purpose." The Trustees were Colonel John Gibson, former commandant at Fort Pitt; John Ormsby, army officer and trader, Devereaux Smith, a merchant, and Nathaniel Bedford the first physician in Pittsburgh.
Generations passed and both the Trinity and the First Presbyterian built and spread out, but therefore the burying ground reduced in size. Only 128 graves remain today. Many were never fully identified and have been lost forever; others have been exhumed and placed elsewhere. Memorable persons of Pittsburgh's historical background that rest in this cultivated and delicate burial ground include Christopher Cowen, born in Ireland deceased on March 12, 1835. He has been considered the father of the steel industry in Western Pennsylvania, he established the first rolling mill in this area in 1811, his stone is the only marker in the present burying ground using Roman numerals.
Captain James R. Butler, Butler was considered by their fellow soldiers to be the bravest man in battle they had ever known. Then in 1783 the legislature granted him the right to operate a ferry from Pittsburgh to the north side of the Allegheny River. He had also been a forest ranger for the reserve tract. Captain James R. Butler was the son of William's brother, Major General Richard Butler, lawyer, legislator and solider, for whom Butler County was names. James, a Captain of the Pittsburgh Blues in the War of 1812, took part in the battle of Mississinewa and the battle of Fort Meigs. The command distinguished itself in both battles and was noted for brave conduct in General William Henry's reports. The date of death inscribed on the Tombstone is in fact incorrect and there is recorded evidence that James lived until 1842.
William Peter Eichbaum was an expert glassworker, and founded the first glass cutting establishment of its kind in the United States. Before he immigrated to America, he was a glass cutter to King Louis XVI of France. The Oakland section of Pittsburgh was where Eichbaum's establishment was located, derived its name from the translation of Eichbaum which means "oak tree."
Alfred Irenaeus Hopkins, a lawyer and vestryman of Trinity Episcopal Church, who left his profitable law practice to enter the ministry. Ordained a deacon in 1824 he quickly assumed the duties of fourth rector of the Trinity and was the leading element of construction for the first church building on this site. Hopkins was the only Pittsburgher ever to serve as ecclesiastical head of that denomination.
Dr. Nathaniel Bedford was born in Birmingham, England and came to Fort Pitt as a military surgeon. He became Pittsburgh's first physician. He was one of the incorporators of the Pittsburgh Academy, now the University of Pittsburgh. He was also an assistant burgess after Pittsburgh became a borough, and a man of superior influence among the young men of the city.
The renewal of the Indian wars after the Revolution placed Pittsburgh in inevitable danger, peace was extremely vital to the infant nation. Red Pole, a principle village chief of the Shawnee, came to the rescue in this time of need. Red Pole was a signer of the Treaty of Greenville on August 3rd 1795, this Treaty brought lasting peace to the frontier. Two years after the Treaty was in effect, Red Pole and his brother Blue Jacket were in Pittsburgh at Christmas, confined by conditions such as rivers closed by ice and cold temperatures Red Pole was taken ill. Dr. Nathaniel Bedford practiced faithful ministrations but the Chief died on January 28, 1797.
From 1900 to 1908 the Trinity church sold land along its eastern edge between Carpenders Alley and Smithfield Street for the construction of the Oliver building. Again, burials were relocated off site and to the west yard. Between 1914 and 1923 the entire churchyard was stripped of all its vegetation leaving only grass and landscape of stone. Efforts over the recent years vegetation has reintroduced itself into this historic burial ground. The first land grant for the Trinity Episcopal Church was in 1779 but the Native American burial ground was already at this specific location, there was said to be as many as 4,000 graves with over 2,000 identified. The construction of the church created less space and graves were exhumed and moved to crypts built under the church the remainder of the land continued to be used as a burial ground.
The preservation program was a successful accomplishment with much contribution. Prior to removal each stone was measured from a known location to ensure that the stone can be replaced in its original position. Each stone weighed between 200-800 pounds, once removed, the only way to move the stones is by wheeled dollies. Poor conditions of stones were held together with gauze material attached to the top of the stone glued this method is called facing; this allows the stone to be safely raised from the ground. Severe deterioration problems like water uptake were a factor but stones were able to be cleaned, repaired, consolidated and re erected where fallen. The renovation project hoped to accomplish the renewal of history in the Pittsburgh area transforming the burial ground into a place of rest and knowledge.

Creative, Fun & Musical
Who is Riffster?
My artist name is Riffster. It was a name that my band mates gave me back in high school and I've kept it ever since. I've been playing & composing music for over 25 years. It's my true passion. I started playing guitar when I was very little and never lost the hunger for music. I've composed several scores for small indie films/videos and written a few jingles over the years. I use Sony products (Acid, Sound Forge, Vegas, etc) to record and master my music.
I have a dry sense of humor (sorry about that) and it bleeds through into my music sometimes. Most of my music is just like me: warm, melodic and adventurous, with a hint is mischief. Life is way to serious, so I take it down a notch.
My website/blog – it's always evolving
Style? No, not really. . .
I will try almost anything once. My main my passion is guitar based music. I like to play as loud as my amps will let me, but I still leave room for softer, more melodic music. My style is a mix of Rock, Blues, R&B, Classical and some Jazz. All of my songs start with the guitar and work outward from there (sometimes on a guitar synth). I play several instruments, but the heart and soul of my music is guitar. My understanding of music and it's theories comes from learning and playing guitar. I enjoy creating music that is outside my normal realm. Nothing is out of the question. My music crosses over many genres. I enjoy all types of music. Any opportunity to collaborate with other musicians is welcome.
You can listen to some of my guitar rock tracks on my acid planet page. Some of these are also for sale on Audio Jungle.
My Addiction – There's no turning back now. . .
Walks into a crowded room and sits down - Hello, my name is Riffster (group says; "Hello Riffster"), I've been hooked on AudioJungle for several years now and it's getting worse. I waste hours listening to tracks, but love every minute. I love the creative vibe here. I can't stop! I won't! MORE! I NEED MORE!!
Thank you for supporting my addiction…

Are there any?
During the 60s, 70's, 80's and certain parts of the 90's (Spice Girls) there were so many British acts that dominated the global music industry. i.e. The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Duran Duran, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, ELO, Black Sabath, The Police, The Who, Elton etc... oh and let's not forget Dexy's Midnight Runners!
Nowadays it is the American Hip Hop acts that rule the world wide charts and us Brits don't get a look in. It's actually quite depressing.
I know that Dido is pretty well established over there, in fact I think she had already had a string of hits in the States before we had even heard of her.
I think I heard that Daniel Bedingfield did ok, and Craig David had one or two minor hits. But what about all the others?
Coldplay - I believe are making a bit of a name for themselves.
Robbie Williams - Huge, massive superstar in many countries, probably our biggest star at the moment. Tried to break the states on many occasions, but I don't think they were intrested.
Stereophonics - Popular Welsh band, had a shed load of top ten hits in UK, and I think at least one No. 1 album.
Keane - Up and coming, some very catchy tunes using pianos and guitars.
Franz Ferdinand - Scottish group, not my favorite, but popular none the less, I think they have had a minor hit in the States, reaching the dizzy heights of no. 94 on the Hot 100!
The Darkness - FANTASTIC! I love these, they're putting the fun back into guitar music, all of the above are good acts, but a bit bland. Sometimes even boring.
McFly - Much more pop than all of the others, but it has to be said they are a guilty little pleasure of mine! They do write all of their own music and play their own instruments, but they are very manufactured. Some catchy tunes though!
Anyone heard of these? Why do you think British music is dead in the states?

1.15: Understand the Problem-Solving Plan
Kevin finished looking at the pictures from Laila's trip to Yellowstone National Park. He took a deep sigh.
"I didn't do anything that exciting this summer," he said with another sigh.
"I'm sure you did great stuff. What did you do? Tell me about it," Laila said smiling.
"Well, the big thing that I did was to design and build a vegetable garden. It actually was quite cool, because I was working as a Junior Counselor at the Boys and Girls Club and so I had a bunch of seven year olds who helped me," Kevin said.
"That is terrific."
Laila began thinking about this problem in her head.
It is time for you to do the same thing. There are several steps to this problem and to work through it, you will need to figure out a problem solving plan. After learning the information in this Concept, you should be ready to work it through.
When making a plan to solve a problem, you may choose one or several strategies.
Act it Out
Make a Model
Try and Check
Look for a Pattern
Guess and check
Make a Table
Work Backward
Write an Equation
Write a Proportion
When you read a problem, it is helpful to underline any important information. Important information can include words that identify an operation. You can also identify key words such as distance, time, speed, area or perimeter. All of these parts help you to identify a problem and what the problem is asking you to solve.
Let's look at a situation.
Mollie is planning to meet a group of friends at the movies on Saturday night at 6:00 p.m. Mollie is in charge of driving a few friends to the movies. Mollie lives 15 minutes from Sara's house. It takes 10 minutes to get from Sara's house to Madison's house. It is another 20 minutes to the movie theatre from Madison's house. It takes Mollie 1 hour to get dressed and ready for the evening. At what time should Mollie begin to get ready for the evening?
Step 1: Read and Understand the Problem
Ask: What is the problem asking me to find out?
The problem is asking you to determine the time at which Mollie should begin getting ready for the evening if she is to be at the movies at 6:00 p.m. You must take in to consideration the amount of travel time to each of her friends houses and the amount of time it takes for Mollie to get dressed.
This problem involves time. We need to back up the time that it takes for Molly to get to the movie theater.
Step 2: Make a Plan
Mollie needs to be at the movies at 6:00 p.m. Work backward to determine the time Mollie should begin getting ready. If we work backwards, we will be able to help her figure out the time that she needs to get there.
Step 3: Solve the Problem
Time of Movie – Time to Dress – Time to Movies – Time to Madison's – Time to Sara's
6:00 – 1:00 – 0:20 – 0:10 – 0:15
5:00 – 0:20 – 0:10 – 0:15
4:40 – 0:10 – 0:15
4:30 – 0.15
With all that she has to do, Mollie should begin getting ready at 4:15 p.m.
Step 4: Check the Results
If Mollie begins getting dressed at 4:15 p.m. and takes 1 hour, she will be ready to leave at 5:15 p.m. Since it takes Mollie 15 minutes to get to Sara's house, she'll arrive at 5:30 p.m. 10 minutes later at 5:40 Mollie will arrive at Madison's house. Since it takes 20 minutes to drive to the movies, Mollie will arrive at the movies promptly at 6:00 p.m.
Mollie needs to begin getting ready at 4:15 p.m.
Use this situation and answer each question.
For every day that Jesse harvested vegetables in the garden, he collected 4 pounds of vegetables.
Example A
If Jesse continued this for 45 days, how many total pounds of vegetables will he have collected?
Solution: 180 pounds
Example B
Write an equation to describe the situation in Example A.
Example C
If Jesse collected vegetables for 90 days, how many pounds would he gather at this same rate?
Solution: 360 pounds
Now back to the dilemma from the beginning of the Concept.
First, you need to find the area of the garden.
You know that the length of the garden is 12 feet and the width of the garden is 6 feet. We can substitute those values into the formula and solve for the area of the garden.
Notice that you need to label your answer in square feet because we are working with area.
To figure out how much area each vegetable was given, we can use mental math. Think about what we know.
The area of the garden is 72 sq. feet.
There are 8 vegetables being planted.
Each vegetable was given 9 square feet.
- Perimeter
- the distance around a figure.
- Area
- the measurement of the inside of a figure.
Guided Practice
Here is one for you to try on your own.
The bowling alley charges $12 for one person to play, $10 for the second person to play, $8 for the third to person to play, and so on. What is the total cost for a family of five to bowl? How much money does the family save bowling together rather than separately?
Step 1: Read and Understand the Problem
Ask: What is the problem asking me to do?
The problem is asking you to analyze the pattern to determine the cost for a family of five to bowl. After determining the cost of a family of five to bowl, determine the difference between the amount the family is spending and the amount it would cost for five individuals to play.
Step 2: Make a Plan
To better observe the pattern, organize the information on a table.
|Family Member
|Cost to Play
You can see that the cost to play decreases by two dollars for each additional family member.
Step 3: Solve the Problem
Continue the pattern for the fourth and fifth family members. Add the cost to play for each family member to determine the total cost. You can see that the total cost for a family of five is $40.
|Family Member
|Cost to Play
|Total Cost
The cost for a family of five to bowl is $40. A family of five saves $20 playing together rather than individually.
Step 4: Check the Results
By thinking back through the dilemma, you will see that the answer makes sense given the strategy that we selected.
Video Review
Khan Academy Problem Solving Plan 1
Directions: Read each problem and then answer the questions following each problem.
At the end of a phone call home, Brad had $0.85. The initial cost of the phone call was $0.75 plus $0.12 per minute. If Brad spoke on the phone for 20 minutes, how much money did he have before making the phone call home?
- Should you use working backwards or writing a proportion for this problem?
- Why wouldn't you use a proportion for this problem?
- You will need to multiply one part of this problem, which part?
- What equation could you write to solve this problem?
- How much money did Brad have before making the phone call?
Suppose you have $75 in your savings account. You plan to save an additional $25 per week. After how many weeks will you have saved $500?
- Which strategy makes the most sense look for a pattern or working backwards?
- What is the unknown quantity that you are trying to figure out?
- What equation can you use to solve this problem?
- How many weeks will it take to save $500.00?
An online music store charges $1.90 to download 2 songs. Determine the cost of downloading 13 songs.
- Which strategy would you use look for a pattern or use a proportion?
- Why would you use that method?
- What is the cost for the 13 songs?
- What would be the cost for double the songs?
- If the cost had been $2.25 per song, how much would 2 songs cost?
- What would be the cost for 4 songs?
- If six friends each downloaded four songs, how much would the total cost be?

Awesome training video,,,thanks Shawn,,,,,so you see his....relaxation?" Yeah, I see it right before he gets torn up lol..
He should gave her one more pssst ,that woulda relaxed Ole Holly, best video I've seen for a while, he should have called in the stunt man for that scene.
Would you care to critique Caesars movements and timing of those movements corresponding to the dogs movements and or lack there of. All the way to the very end when Caesar walked away. I thought Caesar hit a home run,,,very well done,,almost like he knows what he is doing. Very little damage to his hand because of the technique he used,,,probably learned through experience. Fill us in on your thoughts,,,May be Devlin can join in here and share his experience with these matters. Just wondering what great dog men like you guys are thinking.

Portuguese Ambassador Visits RIC, Signs Cooperation Agreement
On Friday, Feb. 5, President Nancy Carriuolo signed a protocol of cooperation between Rhode Island College and Instituto Camões, with the Ambassador of Portugal to the United States H.E. Domingos Fezas Vital signing on behalf of the Instituto Camões President Ana Paula Laborinho. Read more...
Pro Dignitate Foundation for Human Rights
In its ongoing effort to expand its study of and outreach to the Lusophone diaspora around the world, IPLWS has undertaken a challenging project in collaboration with the Pro Dignitate Foundation for Human Rights in Lisbon, Portugal. The project is dedicated to promoting the use of the community radio as an instrument of the promotion of peace in Lusophone Africa while connecting with local Portuguese-speaking communities here in the United States.
Recognizing that both share common interests in the dissemination of the Portuguese language and Lusophone cultures and the value of human rights, Rhode Island College and the Pro Dignitate Foundation entered into an agreement of cooperation on September 23, 2010. The signing of the protocol took place at the Peace Radio Inaugural Banquet at Rhode Island College signaling the beginning of the three year commitment to this project. The document was signed by Former First Lady of the Republic of Portugal Maria Barroso Soares, President of the Pro Dignitate Foundation and Dr. Nancy E. Carriuolo, President of Rhode Island College.
Activities under the agreement include conferences, workshops, symposia and training of Portuguese-speaking journalists of the Lusophone diaspora.

RIC President Nancy Carriuolo, and Vice-Consul of Portugal in Providence J. Leonel Teixeira representing the Instituto Camões signed a protocol of cooperation on Dec. 13, 2011 at Rhode Island College. The agreement recognizes that both RIC and the Instituto Camões are committed to the promotion of the teaching and dissemination of the Portuguese language and Lusophone culture and agree to work together toward that end.
RIC's commitment, through the Department of Modern Languages and the Institute for Portuguese and Lusophone World Studies, includes disseminating knowledge about Portuguese Studies and the Portuguese-speaking world through courses, conferences or meetings; to organize guide and stimulate research in Portuguese and Lusophone Studies; to encourage exchanges with similar institutions or others who share the same goals; to encourage exchange of teachers, researchers, postgraduates and students; and to raise awareness among teachers researchers, postgraduates and students of Portuguese and Lusophone Studies about the possibilities of distance learning through the Centro Virtual Camões
In turn, the Instituto Camões commits to support the promotion and dissemination of the Portuguese language and Lusophone cultures in the Department of Modern Language and the Institute for Portuguese and Lusophone World Studies at RIC by providing teaching/ learning materials of Portuguese as a Foreign Language and resources about Portuguese language, literature, culture, history and heritage; audio-visual materials and the possibility of research scholarships and academic prizes.
University of the Azores
Formalizing a working relationship that has developed over the past few years, Rhode Island College and the University of the Azores entered into an agreement of cooperation that will enhance opportunities for students and faculty on both sides of the Atlantic. Dr. Jorge Medeiros, Rector (President) of the University of the Azores and Dr. Nancy Carriuolo, President of RIC, signed the protocol in the presence of administrators, faculty and students on February 22, 2012 at Rhode Island College.
Since 2009, IPLWS has sponsored attendance of Rhode Island College students of Portuguese Studies at the Curso de Verão (Summer Course) at the University of the Azores for academic credit at Rhode Island College. Rhode Island College also hosted professors from the University of the Azores during a forum on "The Transatlantic Relationship between the Azores and Rhode Island." Both institutions are looking forward to more exchange opportunities for students and faculty.

If freedom of speech, the right to associate with whomever one might wish, and other constitutionally protected liberties had a home, you would think that it would be on the nation's college campuses. But that assumption, sad to say, is dead wrong. As this list drawn from campuses around New England demonstrates, liberty — as defined by the American constitutional tradition — is under constant assault.
The University of Southern Maine is a public university located in the heart of what's reputed to be one of the American states that is most protective of the liberty and independence of its citizens — "hearty New England stock" is the image commonly invoked. So it comes as a surprise that USM President Theodora Kalikow has issued a decree banning the use of any tobacco product anywhere on the Portland campus, including outdoors where inhalation of second-hand smoke by non-smokers is not an issue.
To read the "University of Southern Maine Tobacco-Free Campus Policy" is to discover its anti-liberty (disguised as pro-health) ideological roots in the opening Preamble: A "tobacco-free campus shall be established" not only "to reduce harm from tobacco use and secondhand smoke," but also to "promote a campus culture of wellness." Put another way, students and faculty members and staff employees are being ordered to stop smoking not only for their own good, but in order to force them to join in the university president's vision of a glorious new nanny state concept: "Wellness."
There is one other hint on the university's website for why the president took this step of radical intervention in the private lives of students and staff. The "culture of wellness" talked about is described as a "value statement" meant to "promote a cultural shift toward healthier living." There is no discussion, however, of whether an institution supposedly dedicated to academic freedom, and freedom of speech and thought, should "promote a cultural shift" by executive fiat rather than by rational persuasion.
We can only hope that President Kalikow discovers a truth that college presidents should be teaching but that, alas, seem instead to need to learn: In a university community, personal philosophies such as "wellness" may be promoted by intellectual persuasion, but not by fiat. This is, at bottom, what free speech and free thought are all about.

Your Editing Feels
This is a thread for just various feelings when it comes to the editing process, watching other peoples AMV's, the community in general or anything else associated with AMV's as a whole. Feel feel to share your own and have some conversation going on about it.
- One of the first feelings that I often find when editing is when I begin a large project over, say, a minute. Generally feels like an enormous mountain I gotta climb and it feels like I'll never get there. But, if the muse is strong enough, sometimes it feels awesome conquering it and actually completing the project. Learned that with my Dangan Massacre Project.
- Another thing I hate is that even if the concept is pretty good, the atmosphere of the video is good and everything else checks out; some people just default the video altogether because they didn't like the song. I can understand not entirely digging the video because it isn't your type of music, but even I can still give props if the person seemed to have a good idea of direction with their AMV.
- Rendering times are a buzz kill. In my case, I often use a mixture of After Effects/Sony Vegas in order to merge the effects from there into the video. Along with that, with the lag I get, I sometimes just render different scenes to make sure it has the timing I have and sometimes I feel like bashing my head into a wall waiting.
- I love announcing to the people who follow my videos/projects that I'm starting on a new AMV. This is because I like getting people hyped, I feel bold when making these announcements and it helps me try to keep my word since I told dozens/hundreds of people what I'm going to do and I better live up to my word and crank out something dope. (Such as the case with Shingeki No Squarepants I put on youtube. I need to work on the second one after this post.)
- The best feeling in the world is when, after everything is said and done, you get a positive feedback from whatever community (Org/Youtube/Forum whatever) and they like the amount of blood, sweat and tears you poured into your video. Not to mention that feeling of glee, anticipation and joy when putting your finalized video up on to the Org/Youtube and waiting for those views to crank in. Even if just one person liked my video, I'll feel pretty happy that I managed to make someone's day with my content.
There are more, but that's all I feel like writing for now since I'm working on a bunch of projects at the moment. I'm curious to see everyone else's and see if we can get some interesting discussion going on in here.

Got to Burbank Target around 8:30, some Wave 3 there (not much left, Engineer & Neyo & a couple of the w2 repacks). Lots of the Joe Comic Packs (no black-helm Destros). Some jerkwad returned a CW Anakin & Obi-Wan with ROTS #1 & #2 floppy-arm Anakin & Obi-Wans. And to fill the space in the bubble, BOTH of Obi-Wan's right hands were in the tray, neither on his arm. Anakin had the red saber-hand plugged into his arm, so that tells you how old the figure was. Took 'em up to Guest Services, and only then noticed the Obi-Wan was actually on a CW Yoda card! Just with Kenobi insert & tray.
Finally they've got some DCUC in! But, oh, it's just Wave 1 & 2 leftovers. Orions & Tornados & Penguins (oh my!) pretty much filling 2 of the 3 pegs. And MM Dark Knight, with the usual BB Bats and a bunch of DK Bats & Jokers. Picked up DK & Joker, they look good. Disappointed to see the regular Marvel Legends pegs--'filled' with a whopping TWO figures from last year--are marked at $14.99 like the Fin Fang Foom wave. I thought that was a higher price just because most of the Hulks & Supporting Cast were pretty hefty figures & FFF was such a big BAF... oh well. Shame that HTS probably won't have much of what's still to come, besides 2-packs. Marvel Legends, 8.99 to 14.99 in just a couple years' time. Hurray for inflation and rising costs without rising income!
Blame those of us who actually BOUGHT the Hulk FFF waves for the price increase. Rumor has it that the wave was to test the waters for the higher price point and since that bunch sold out just about everywhere...
Personally, I think Hasbro is actively trying to kill the line so that they won't be their own competition for the smaller-scaled figures they're coming out with.
Stashed a JLU Darkseid and friends 6-pack. Alhambra Target might be worth the visit for someone who needs it...
Still looking for the Red Hulk wave. I've only found the Spiderman so far.
Picked up both Force Unleashed 3-packs (Vader/Incinerator Troopers & Palpatine/Shadow Troopers) today at Walmart. Cool figures.
[FONT=Arial Narrow]
Yesterday I picked up what looked like the last Rebel Pilots #2 Evolutions pack at the Burbank TRU. There may have been more, but I didn't realize there was a Star Wars display until I was already in the checkout lane and by then, I was running late getting back from my lunch break. Which I guess means there could've been more new product, but it was almost 2pm so I told myself any other new product was probably gone by then.
All Hail Darth Schmitsky!
Picked up the new Target exclusives Rattler and Conquest, finally!!
Confirmed now, as Toonimator mentioned, Marvel Legends are now $14.99 at Target! Sucks!!
Also, spotted a bunch of Joes at Hootie's Target, 3 BATS, 3 Major Bludds, 3 Flash, Bazookas, etc...
I also grabbed the new Joe vehicles at Target this morning. Couldn't resist, cuz they are so sweet.
Also saw JLU 6-packs...Apocolypse pack and Grodd pack. Almost pulled the trigger, but decided to pass for now.


text: That's a really good idea KH. I haven't been to a MM yet, but I am this time. Since I'm pretty picky about my cards/bubbles, I usually rifle through each figure. When there are lots of people buzzing around me, it's hard to concentrate. I think I'll grab a cart full and head off some place quiet, like maybe the women's lingerie sectionDuring the EP1 MM, me and a freind grabbed a shopping cart and emotied about 5 racks each into them. Went to a secluded area and sorted them out as to what I wanted and left the rest there.

|Our Environment We are stewards of wild places
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Just a little story on the same thread, ...
I came down the trail on one of my favourite runs a few years ago. A pile of lunch garbage was on the trail. (Even though there is a trash can 50 yrds up toward the pull-out.)
As I was there thursday and there was no mess and I was the first there on saturday, at lunch, I asked the warden who had fished there on friday.
I found out that there was only on angler there all day. No tourists stop there either.
I had collected all the stuff (including a used leader) so I mailed it to him.
BTW, I did the same thing the time I found a nice reel on the beach at the #38.
I figured, if they had lost it or "forgotten" to pack it out, they would like to get it back.
I had put my home adress and number on the mailing sticker ... Funny, no one ever contacted me.
So what do you say to people when you catch them leaving their garbage on the bank. Its the same whether its toilet paper, a cigaret butt, a candy wrapper, or lunch sack, or 50 yds of monofilament all in a tangle.
Do you keep your mouth shut, or do you give them hell.
An old friend used to say I dont get mad, I just use it for effect
I remember once floating up to a boat ramp where three bait fisherman were camped on the ramp in their lawn chairs with lines planted to the bottom of the river. They had a nice fire some garbage and a pile of dead suckers. I had a little trouble getting them to move but they got the idea when I started backing my boat trailer down the ramp. I went back later and found that they had left the garbage and the suckers for someone else to clean up and a fire for someone else to put out.
Ooooooooooo K!
Good evening,
Outdoor Latrine Manners while Fishing. I spend alot of time in the backcountry and this is a regular part of my trips, just like clock work baby!. But you are right Natrix this is a problem I run into as well. Thats the great thing about a resource like the Fly Fishing Forum. You can use it as a tool of learning!
In my research I found that the standard is to keep aprox. 75' to 100' from any trail or living space, and that includes River / Lake frontage, then DIG and BURY!!! I understand that while fishing, the urge can happen out of the blue without much notice, but a bit of preperation can help. I bring along a few paper napkins in my vest, and always scope out my "Options" on the way to the water. This keeps the situation very low key. Napkins do the trick and decopmpose rather well under normal conditions. Everything goes into the hole and gets covered! Simple, ya?
Some would bring there "Home" ways into the wild, they just need these subtle hints to bring them around to the right way, I mean all the other animals do it and its not an issue.
Anyone else want to tackle this one? Huh?
And I remain........ Wiped!!!
Ethics and Etiquette
This spring I was walking along the bank of the Salmon R. in near Callis Idaho. I was above the river about 50 feet or so, so I could see down into the brush by the side of the river. As I walked past I could see this guy putting his waders back on, he had just returned from a crap in the brush. What he had left behind was the toilet paper. It wasnt in just a little pile, it was all over the place like up in the brush and within 20 feet of the river. I see this allot, its like some kind of territorial defecation ritual or something. All the likely spots are generally decorated with several applications of toilet paper. Fortunately this is usually less frequent as you get further from the road, but I notice that as more and more people get further and further out the tel-tale sings of human impact follow. The ethics and etiquette of this for me are clear. Trashing the place is basically a thoughtless act. It bespeaks ignorance, and an attitude of contempt.
So what do you do when you witness something that goes against the grain of what you believe is
ethical or contrary to your chosen etiquette.
Most of the time I just dont say anything because how it comes out is an expression of my disgust and anger, and as I have learned from past encounters it usually dosnt go well.
So from a life time of poorly chosen words, and miss placed anger, my experience tells me that nobody listens when what you have to say comes out as an insult or as condescending. At times nice dosnt work either. How do you treat people with respect and educate them at the same time when your mad as hell.

Elsevier launches free site spanning oncology mags
Elsevier launches free site spanning oncology mags
The site, OncologySTAT, will target the more than 1 million US oncologists, hematologists, oncology nurses and other healthcare professionals specializing in cancer with peer-reviewed articles from Elsevier oncology journals, as well as brief summaries of articles appearing in major non-Elsevier titles and tools like drug and interaction databases. Free to physicians, who must register to gain access, it will be divisible by 29 cancer types, so that users can click on a tab to view a sub-site relevant to their specialty. The publisher aims to beef it up with video Webinars, interviews with prominent physicians, events and CME, along with blogs and forums.
From a commercial perspective, Elsevier aims to meet growing demand from pharmas for online advertising and promotion opportunities to healthcare professionals. "Industry wants online venues in which to communicate to and educate physicians," said Monique Fayad, SVP, publisher, OncologySTAT at Elsevier Health Sciences. "We were getting a lot of interest from pharma companies asking us for these things, and we didn't have the solutions that provided the reach and flexibility they were looking for." The site will also reach individual docs, rather than the institutional audiences targeted by the publisher's extant online offering, including its Consult suite of products and Science Direct e-journal.
Advertisers will be offered packages targeted by cancer type, keyword searches, PDF and video downloads, along with ads on the site's drugs and interactions section and weekly email newsletter.
Among Elsevier oncology titles included in the site are The Lancet Oncology, The American Journal of Medicine, The Breast and Blood Reviews.

Mr Tarun Kumar Bansal, patent specialist and director and co-founder, Sagacious Research, India
Intellectual property (IP) rights initiatives are developing fast all over the world and by now it is an established phenomenon in the West. With the conformance to Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) patent regime and increasing competition from the MNCs, Indian companies have now realized the importance of innovation and have understood the need to protect those innovations.
Patent rights play an important role in giving such protection to all research based organizations and promote the free trade between companies and countries. As an observation from the exercise that we conducted, we have presented below our report on the filing trends of patent applications in India with a special focus on life sciences industry.
Patent filings at the Indian patent office [IPO] have been increasing for the past 10 years. Last year the raise in patent filings at Indian patent office was 12.97 percent, which indicates a gradual increase in the filing of applications per year in India. This marks an increased awareness in filing of patent applications in India in all domains. Patents are being filed in all sectors; however Biotechnology, pharmacy chemistry, and medical devices have taken a lead in patent filing area.
Although, there is increase in the number of filings in the life sciences areas in India, they are still significantly lower as compared to international averages (especially on the biotech side). The gap is diminishing but it will still take some time before we are there. But does this mean lack of opportunities and optimism for life sciences industry in India?
The answer is no. To put things in the right perspective and see the importance of Indian life sciences industry on a worldwide scale, let us consider another important industry, popularly known as hi-tech industry (it includes electronics, computer sciences, and telecom). The industry currently leads the number of patents filings worldwide.

Child Nutrition Program
Hello Jamie. I am a chef here in Alabama who has recently taken a break from the restaurant business. Currently I am in an institutional setting�Food Services Director for The Bridge, Inc., a non-profit residential facility that provides substance abuse treatment and behavioral rehabilitation programs for adolescents. We feed about 40 kids, and some adults, three meals a day, every day of the year. To know well ahead of time exactly how many people I will be feeding and precisely what they will be eating is an incredible luxury that I could not have imagined�.the guesswork of prep and all the pressure is absent.As much as I enjoy this aspect of my situation, equally alarming is the fact that all the food I prepare and serve is bound by the guidelines of the Child Nutrition Program and The National School Lunch Program. I have followed your career and I am sure you know my frustration. These rules intended to fight obesity and increase nutrition have pushed our nation�s school cooks into a corner, practically forcing them to serve processed garbage to meet the guidelines�. square chicken patties, canned fruits and vegetables, pre-made frozen everything. I am fortunate enough to have the ability to create my own fresh recipes to meet the guidelines, but even that is made next to impossible due to all the red tape. I have installed a salad bar, I�m working to create an herb garden, I�m baking homemade whole wheat breads and biscuits, I�m getting citrus trees, and I am replacing the canned goods with fresh or frozen. I can easily do this but how is the average school cafeteria director ever going to be able to serve proper meals? We are in a difficult situation. Like you I seek to inspire, to get kids excited about foods, and to show them the process of farm to table.
My reason for this short letter is just to encourage you. I want to applaud you for using your celebrity to do such wonderful things. I know you must get discouraged but I urge you to continue.
Thanks for all you do,

Re: Child Nutrition Program
Great post Carl, well done for working so hard to ensure that your kids eat well. Good Food - growing, cooking, eating and sharing it is such an important part of any sort of recovery (physical and spiritual). I have been working at San Patrignano for the past 4 years. An incredible community near Rimini in Italy that takes in addicts from 28 countries around the world. Food is at the heart of everything that the young people do at Sanpa.....
I wish you all the very best with your endeavours, it would be great to hear how you get on. Oh, almost forgot - have you heard of the Screaming Avacado project that runs out of a Secondary School in Ontario Canada? Another inspirational project - they may have some learnings to share with you:
Cheers from Danny

(Raleigh, NC – November 3, 2010) An energy efficiency program launched by Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) in 2009 is helping North Carolina participants reduce energy use more than 45 percent and save $15 million in energy costs in five years. EDF Climate Corps Public Sector uncovered ways to make lighting, computer equipment, and heating and cooling systems more energy efficient in North Carolina universities, Raleigh public buildings and a Raleigh church.
The program matched MBA students, specially trained by EDF in energy analysis, with the City of Raleigh Fire Department, Johnson C. Smith University, NC Central University, St. Paul AME Church and Elizabeth City State University. EDF's focus on minority serving institutions is part of a broad commitment to increasing diversity in environmental leadership.
The fellows showed partners how to save 54 million kilowatt hours of electricity annually – enough to power 5,000 homes – and cut 30,000 metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions per year, equivalent to taking more than 5,000 SUVs off the road.
"Saving energy means saving money, and that's a cornerstone of a sustainable business plan for a company or a campus," said Michael Regan, EDF Energy and Air Policy Manager and former EPA manager. "The public sector uses a tremendous amount of energy, and it can take advantage of smart energy investments just like major corporations."
EDF will expand the fellowship program to universities, public buildings and houses of worship in Florida, New Jersey, New York and Texas in 2011 and other states in 2012.
Environmental Defense Fund (edf.org), a leading national nonprofit organization, creates transformational solutions to the most serious environmental problems. EDF links science, economics, law and innovative private-sector partnerships. See www.edfclimatecorps.org/public. Twitter.com/EnvDefenseFund and facebook.com/EnvDefenseFund.

In the movies, Kenny Baker controlled the 2-legged R2 by putting his legs through hoses that connected the droid's torso to the feet. The intention was that we weren't supposed to notice them, they magically disappeared when 2-legged R2 went to 3-legged mode because they were using a remote-control R2 instead of a Kenny Baker-control R2. I think they CGI'ed out the hoses in TPM but Kenny was using them even then. Here are a few images from the films (the last one is TPM and you can't see the hoses too well, but you can see the cut-outs in the feet where they lead into):
It dawned on me that Hasbro has never done a figure of this version of R2-D2, and I wonder if there's anybody out there who would want to see it. It's a very authentic version of R2 obviously, but to realize it in 1:18 action figure scale would almost certainly make the legs immobile and R2 just doesn't have much going on with his legs unable to move - it's sorta all he has. But on the other hand, it'd be interesting to have a screen-accurate version of R2 like this, maybe they could have the hoses be removable to solve the movability issue.
So, does anybody out there actually want an R2-D2 like that?
