Improved Marine Mammal Transport Vessel Studied
Art Anderson Associates reported that it has completed Phase I of the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract to evaluate the Stolkraft hull form as an alternative to the Navy's 11-meter Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB) in the transportation of marine mammals. This SBIR topic was issued to address the excessive slamming loads being experienced by Navy Special Clearance Team (NSCT-1) forces on their current 11-meter RIB. In Phase I, Art Anderson Associates reports, tests of an existing Stolkraft showed that it experienced lower vertical accelerations than the U.S. Navy 10-m RIB under similar test conditions. A concept design was also produced based on the NSCT-1 operational requirements established during the Phase I kick-off meeting.

Small Group Tutoring
What is small group tutoring?
Small Group Tutoring is tutoring that is attached to a specific class. Each tutoring session is led by a current UCSC undergraduate student who has taken the course and done well in it. Tutoring sessions are one hour long and generally have a capacity of 6 students. When students sign-up for tutoring, students make a commitment to attend the tutoring session weekly for the entire quarter. Tutoring sessions are meant to be interactive. Students should expect to participate in the tutoring sessions, ask and to answer questions, clarify important concepts, and to develop study strategies that are important for their discipline. Students are encouraged to have active discussions with their peers and tutor to create an engaging learning environment. All students can sign-up for up to two hours of small group tutoring.
Sign-ups for Winter 2018:
Tuesday, January 16th @ 9:30AM
Sign-ups for Small Group Tutoring end:
Friday, March 2nd @ 5:00PM
Enter the Slug Success System
How to Sign-up for a Tutoring Session
Slug Success is a portal for students to search for course specific tutoring and sign-up for tutoring sessions.
- Sign in to the Slug Success system, and simply click the button to schedule tutoring.
- Sign up for a session as soon as Slug Success opens. Sessions fill up quickly, sign up early to avoid being put on the waitlist!
- Come prepared to your tutoring session and be ready to participate with other students in your group.
Drop Policy
Tutoring is a valuable resource that many students use through out their time at UCSC. To make sure all students have access to small group tutoring sessions, Learning Support Services does have a student drop policy. All undergraduate students are allowed one excused absence as long as they give their tutor 24 hours notice. If a student does not show up to a session, and has not communicated with their tutor, the student will be dropped so other students can attend the session.
Why should you use tutoring?
Whether you are struggling in a course or you are doing well, there is never a case where you cannot benefit from a tutor! Students need to spend 12-15 hours a week studying for each course, and weekly tutoring attendance gives students a chance to use part of that study time in a guided space. Tutoring does not replace attending lecture, sections or office hours regularly. Tutoring is an additional resource for students to excel in their class.

Alex tennis: Team tourney action ends for Cards
A 6-1 loss to Sartell Tuesday in the opening round of the Section 8AA-North boys' tennis team playoffs ended the season for the Cardinals.
"We decided to make a drastic change in our lineup when we were unsuccessful in our first two attempts at the Sabres," said head coach Dave Ronning. "We put most of our firepower into our doubles lineup in hopes of sweeping the doubles and finding a singles win somewhere.
"We got that singles win from Carl Branch at fourth singles, where Carl started great with consistency and ball control, and continued to frustrate his opponent in straight set win.
"However, we were unable to back it up in our doubles lineup as all three went down hard," he added. "Brendan [Holm] and Mathias [Burban] lost a tough one in three sets. Our third doubles team of Jacob [Strand] and Payton [Grandgenett] never could get on track and lost 6-1 and 6-2.
"We had beaten the Sabres at first doubles just a week ago, and had close matches at second and third doubles, so we figured, with the changes and our usual second doubles team playing down to third doubles, it would be a lock," Ronning said. "But as the old saying goes, "That's why you play the game." Devin Crowe, Eric Branch and Nick Partington all played tough in the rest of the singles lineup, but the Sabres were just too talented and experienced for our guys."
All three of the losing singles spots fell in straight sets, while the second doubles team of Mark Kallevig and Levi Duwenhoegger dropped a three-set match.
"I am proud of the way our guys bought into the plan we had and we believe it was the right move," noted the coach. "We did have the Sabres on their heels for most of the match, and we put a big scare into them."
No. 1 - Brandon Schuchard, Sar, def. Devin Crowe 6-3, 6-3, No. 2 - Jarod Frost, Sar, def. Eric Branch 6-1, 6-2, No. 3 - Brandon Yurezyk, Sar, def. Nick Partington 6-2, 6-3, No. 4 - Carl Branch, Alex, def. Daniel Muntifering 6-1, 6-4.
No. 1 - A.J. Fleming-Ben Morine, Sar, def. Brendan Holm-Mathias Burban 3-6, 6-2, 6-3, No. 2 - Car Minnerath-Ethan Lorsung, Sar, def. Mark Kallevig-Levi Duwenhoegger 2-6, 6-3, 6-3, No. 3 - Mark Lorschiedder-Joe Pawlenty, Sar, def. Jacob Strand-Payton Grangenett 6-1, 6-2.

Once upon a very hot time, Crazy Chicken Lady checked her chickens before closing the coop for the evening and she observed Phoebe panting and holding her wings away from her body and got worried about heat stroke. So she brought her in for awhile to sit in front of the fan. And stepped in poop on the way in. And was holding a chicken so she couldn't wipe it off. She walked funny to keep it off the floor. Then Phoebe pooped on the floor. And Crazy Chicken Lady realized this was really stupid and decided to clean her foot and take the fan out to the coop instead. The End. *curtsies*
Welcome to Crazyville; population: me.
Maze with no end
Sat night: ER for chest and jaw pain, wonky heart rate. Told to call CR Heart Center Monday morning to schedule a stress test.
Monday morning: Made appointment; first available: Wednesday at 9am.
Wednesday 8:45am: Check into CRHC.
8:48am: Reception asks for insurance card. I tell them I have none but I've reapplied for Medicaid but haven't gotten answer yet. She says they can't help me. Directs me to go to Free Clinic and request a referral back to CRHC.
9:05am: Arrive at Free Clinic.
9:10am: Check in.
9:40: See nurse, give story, get vitals. (P.S. heart rate = 114.)
9:48: Back to waiting room.
10:26: Sent to another waiting room.
10:34: Sent to exam room.
10:48: Doc walks in.
10:55: Doc walks out.
11:15: Doc walks in. Doc says nothing they can do. They can't give referral to CRHC. Have to wait for Medicaid approval or denial. Gave me an IowaDoesntGiveAFuck app but not sure if that covers my problem. Says if I have any chest or jaw pain, go to ER. P.S. Can't help with meds I'm out of either; must call Abbe Center.
11:20: Check out of free clinic.
11:21: Go behind a barn and shoot myself. (just kidding.)
I'll come back later and try to make this funny. Or sexy. Because sex sells, not whining.
Finally, the depression has let up… I feel like I just broke through the surface of the water and I'm gasping for breath.
Stupid title. Just staring at me, being all title-y. Smug jerk butthole doink.
When I was in about 6th grade to 10th grade, my best friend, Tina, had a condition that meant she was lacking a couple layers of skin, the epidermis, I think. This meant we had to be super careful when we were playing, because if you touched her too hard, she'd get a nasty, angry, black-and-blue bruise or even start bleeding from just a small amount of pressure.
I think I have that condition, only it just affects my heart.
I hate it.
I hate my feelings. I hate my tears. I hate my sensitivity.
I hate it. I detest it. I abhor it.

http://www.thedailyshow.com/ Blame video
Why not, the Neo-Con's blame Clinton for 8 years.....
blame clinton for supporting bush's decision to go into Iraq?
I thought B.I.O.B. stood for.....
I'm just pointing out that blaming a previous administration is nothing new, but often there are limitations as to how long into one's presidency it can be done. Something that apparently Republicans ignored during Bush administration, as they blamed Clinton over and over again. For close to EIGHT years. Yet, as the clips showed, numerous GOP members were outraged that the Obama administration would blame Bush.
Don't mind me, just bringing the hypocrisy full circle, most pundants on the right blamed Clinton for 9/11 to the policies for the oil spills, prompting me to ask,
"while blaming Bush is now off-limits, Clinton is still fair game"...
Tie and moreluck, even if you don't agree with Jon Stewart, I sincerely hope you see the humor in his show. He really is a comic gem.
I actually watched Jon Stewart get interviewed by Bill O'reilly....he held his own, but it was comedy, not reality. I pigeon-hole Stewart with Leno & Letterman and maybe approaching Dennis Miller.
I've never heard anyone blame Clinton for Bush's 8 years of presidency. The problem I would have with that concept is we would then have to give Clinton credit for Bush's many successes.
I think there was a reed/ pelosi / Obama congress that does not get enough blame for the economic collapse.
(SF Gate) — It turns out that San Francisco's eco-conscious Mayor Gavin Newsom and his wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom, own a piece of the deepwater rig at the center of the gulf oil disaster.
According to the mayor's most recently filed economic disclosure statement, last year the couple invested between $10,000 and $100,000 in Transocean Inc. – the company whose ruptured deepwater rig, which is leased to BP, is spewing millions of gallons of oil, endangering wildlife and beaches all along the Gulf Coast.
Just last month, Newsom told the San Diego area East County Magazine that "the environmental catastrophe devastating the Gulf of Mexico is a tragic reminder of why we must take a stand against the oil companies and oppose all offshore drilling off California's precious coast."
The Jennifer Lynn Siebel Trust also listed a half dozen other $10,000-to-$100,000 energy-related investments, including stock held last year in three companies involved in oil and gas exploration: Dorchester Minerals, Resolute Energy and Schlumberger Ltd.
The portfolio also includes stock in Petroleo Brasileiro, Brazil's largely state-owned oil company that has been looking to the United States to help finance exploration of a huge offshore oil discovery near Rio de Janeiro.
In all, the couple's 2009 trust portfolio listed 43 investments that, in addition to energy, included some of the biggest players in finance, pharmaceuticals, telecommunications and health care. The trust produced more than $100,000 in income last year for the couple, according to the report.
Dennis Miller REALLY ?
you obvisously didn't watch the video link. How many more examples do you need...
I don't think it's that unusual if a politician lives in an area where beef is the major product that they would want to invest in the meat industry....oil, the oil industry...etc. That just shows you have faith in your area's industries.
The problem comes when these holdings affect the way you govern.
I'm sorry all i saw was jon stewart . was there a conservative later who blamed clinton for something?
WOW! This sounds so Bush/Republican don't it? Oh wait, we have an Obama/Democrat administration don't we. So much for any real difference between the 2 at the end of the day. That explains why there was never any hope and change too!
Do you think bhos will try to include these new jobs in his economic success ?
Go figure !!! Obama still claims the Bush Tax cuts and the two wars caused the economic meltdown.
The first two years the Democrats controlled both houses and the Presidency. What did they do ??? Change the tax policy of Bush or end the two wars ??
No --we are now in three wars the Bush Tax Policy is still in place and Obama wants you to believe it is "Bush" ?????????? Obama is an empty suit ---no plan--no leadership skills --just blame the past !!
And that is going to be HIS record for the 2012 election.
lets look at the facts and not the hysteria, shall we?
Reagan cut the top 1% tax bracket 25% in order to create jobs. (FACT) When Reagan took office, Carter had an unemployment record of 1977-7.1% / 1978-6.1% / 1979-5.8% / 1980-7.1%, so the theory was to CUT taxes for the richest people in the country in order to create jobs. Ok, the trickle down theory was born.
But what happened in reality? Reagan after 1 year in office = 8.4%, Reagan after 2 years in office = 10.7%, Reagan after 3 years in office = 8.2%, Reagan after 4 years in office = 7.8%, Reagan after 5 years in office = 7.5%, Reagan after 6 years in office = 6.9%, Reagan after 7 years in office = 6.1%, Reagan in his final year = 5.8%.
Whats the difference between Jimmy Carters best unemployment record and Reagan with tax cuts??? ANSWER: nothing. Carters best was 5.8% the same as Reagan.
Following Reagan, BUSH 1 took that 5.8% in 4 years to 7.8%.
Combining both Reagan and Bush1 and you get WORSE than Carter.
Clinton RAISED taxes back to pre Reagan levels and in 8 years, reduced unemployment to 4% when he left office.!
BUSH2 cut those taxes back to Reagans level and unemployment went from 4% to 7.8 in 8 years mimicking the REAGAN/BUSH record.
Now Obama with his stimulus programs and bailouts of wall street and banks and auto companies took that 7.8 and rose to 10.2% in his second year, the unemployment began to stabilize and lower to 8.7% until the BUSH tax cuts were extended, and BLAM!
JUST LIKE THAT, unemployment rises again to 9.1%.
TAX CUTS for the rich just dont create jobs, thats a proven fact. It may be the rhetoric that the right wing uses to sell its followers who dont bother to reflect on the historical record, but its just not true.
Since the republicans took control of the house, gasoline has spiked and gone over 4 bucks a gallon, unemployment has risen and the stock market crashed.
What is it about republican leadershp has you convinced that they are the best ones to run the country given the historical record?
I got news for you TAX Raises on the rich don't solve the problem either!!!

High school is a time when every person begins to discover his own unique interests and talents. It is important during these years to introduce the student to a variety of experiences and a variety of subjects. This exposure helps him find his individuality and helps him decide on his future course into college and beyond. To spark and to further develop a student's interests Sinai Academy offers a number of elective courses and extra-curricular activities. As a small school we are extremely flexible as to the electives that we can offer our students. We often add courses to the schedule based on our students' expressed interest. These include Economics, Accounting, Art, Music, Photography, AP Psychology, Writing Workshop, Journalism, Graphic Design, Web Design, as well as many others.

NEW flights are to take off from Glasgow to Bournemouth next year, it was revealed today.
The flights, which will be launched next March and run twice a day, will coincide with the relaunch of Flybe's Aberdeen base. Flights from Glasgow to Jersey will also return as part of the summer schedule.
Meanwhile, airport bosses from across Scotland called for fast action on Smith Commission recommendations for Air Passenger Duty.

Glasgow airport managing director Amanda McMillan joined bosses from Edinburgh and Aberdeen in urging Westminster to commit to devolving Air Passenger Duty (APD) to Holyrood.
In the letter, the three transport leaders said by devolving APD to Scotland, the UK Government will deliver a "tremendous boost to Scotland's tourism industry and it's economy as a whole."
It read: "We are aware of and understand concerns which have been raised by our counterparts in England, regarding APD, however, we believe that any tax competition across the border would be minimal and is not in itself a good reason to prevent the devolution of the tax to Holyrood.
"In almost all cases, Scottish airports do not compete substantially with airports in the north of England for flights - our most energetic competition is in Europe where there is no tax at all.
"What is more, APD is a self-contained tax and does not interact with the rest of the fiscal system.
"This makes it inherently suitable for devolution as the partial, trouble free devolution to the Northern Ireland Assembly shown."
•Comment: Airport growth in London can benefit UK
The calls have been back by the SNP, who are also urging Westminster to commit to the recommendations revealed by Lord Smith last week.
SNP MSP Mark MacDonald said:"(The letter) backs up our position and means the UK government must act now.
"The ball is now very much in Westminster's court and the onus is on them to deliver - sooner rather than later."
Industry experts reckon that making APD under Scottish control would throw open the arrival gates to struggling airports like Prestwick.
Ryanair boss Michael O'Leary has been a high profile critic of the tax, labelling it a "major disincentive", for airlines setting up at regional airports like Prestwick.
The Smith Commission, which has reported on extra powers for Scotland, recommended APD be included in the package.

The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star gives Kanye a one of a kind gift to celebrate his 36th birthday and very first Father's Day...find out what it was! Forget giving a tie for Father's Day...only the best will do for Kanye West!
The rapper and dad to North West took to Twitter to share the one of a kind gift Kim Kardashian gave him for his first Father's Day: computer mice signed by Apple cofounders Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak.
"One of the other gifts my girl gave me for fathers day," Kanye captioned the photo.
And Steve Wozniak has already got to meet the famous couple and their newborn baby! Kim arranged to introduce the Apple head honcho to Kanye in person for a birthday present, because of his interest in technology.
In a recent New York Times interview, the rapper compared himself to the late Steve Jobs, saying: "I think what Kanye West is going to mean is something similar to what Steve Jobs means. I am undoubtedly, you know, Steve of Internet, downtown, fashion, culture."
What do you think of Kim's unique gift to Kanye?'

Tom Clement, Senior Development Manager at Serena Software, earned a math degree, completed law school, and quit his legal career to learn C programming and a new career. Was his 7 years of schooling wasted? He suspects so because there are more direct ways of learning a profession than attending college. He points out that in some states, you could be licensed to practice law based either on formal education or an apprenticeship with a lawyer. Should apprenticeships be used more often rather than colleges?
I ask this question because college is not merely a bad investment, but a colossal waste, a form of collective insanity. College students are usually less interested in learning and care more about earning a credential and maximizing their grade point averages. If students learned valuable skills, then most graduates would be working in jobs related to their degrees. Instead, about half of recent graduates are unemployed or working at jobs requiring no college degree.
College teaches conformity rather than innovation. I am a successful investor because I refuse to conform; my contempt for mainstream thinking was a liability to earning a degree but is crucial to my success. Conformists blindly follow the Efficient Market Hypothesis stating that it is impossible to consistently achieve greater than average returns, endorsing The Wisdom of Crowds, preferring the intelligence of the collective to individuals, rejecting the obvious truth of Neitzche's dictim: "In individuals, insanity is rare; but in groups, parties, nations, and epochs it is the rule."
Thiel Fellow Dale Stephens, head of UnCollege, asks us to revive apprenticeships:
Imagine that, instead of college, you worked directly in a field that interested you, learning how someone before you has been successful in that field. Learning the critical responsibilities that are only learned from actually doing, no matter how much theory you understand. Imagine if you lived in a community with other inspired, ambitious apprentices, where after work you'd get together and share your experiences with one another.
E[nstitute], a New York City based organization, will provide fifteen fellows with apprenticeships and living space in NYC. The cofounders of E[nstitute], Shaila Ittycheria and Kane Sarhan, are focused on providing E[nstitute]'s 15 fellows with the knowledge necessary to adapt to an unpredictable future. The fellows will be placed in positions to learn and work directly from some of New York City's most innovative entrepreneurs.
E[nstitute] will serve as a building block for future entrepreneurs and innovators by teaching its fellows how to create a tangible result from an idea—to take the back of a napkin and turn it into the next Twitter. Most of know that ideas are abundant—what's often lacking is the discipline and knowledge to turn that idea into a business, organization, movement, or whatever it is that you want to build.
It's great that a few organizations — the Thiel Fellowship, now E[nstitute] — are providing apprenticeships and resources for alternative sources of education, incubating ideas and proving that college is not the only path to an education, much less to success. It's a start. But this needs to scale.

Paint finishes
I'm excited because I found Martha Stewart paints and specialty finishes at Home Depot. I've grabbed some Antique Gold metallic paint, since I'm running low, and some Paintable White crackle paint. I plan to incorporate the latter into my wooden decorations, and into the super duper holiday cards I will be sending this year. They will incorporate an ornament.
I also grabbed some of the MS specialty paint chips, which will be perfect to punch some pretty shapes from for my cards and ornaments.
In preparation for starting on the cards, I have stamped, embossed and cut out a whole bunch of small images that will be part of the decorations. All I am in need of now is the right yarn for my homemade tassels.

I'm not sure Zmalik. Martha Stewart makes a multi-surface craft paint that will work on plastic. The metallic says on the tub, "..an all purpose home decorating finish for walls, furniture and accent pieces."
I think you should contact the manufacturer with your specific need to check. The MS craft paint is made by Plaid.

Big Data & Analytics
Data has always been important to businesses. It enables organizations to review what went well and what did not. However, IT teams have historically been limited as to how data could be sorted and analyzed, such as spreadsheets and other traditional business intelligence tools.
Big Data Changes Everything
Today, big data allows real-time reviews of extremely large sets of data that offer real-time guidance as to what is happening within the business. When predictive analytics are applied, data reveals patterns and/or trends: real-time business intelligence that can be translated into a business advantage.
Research has shown that organizations who leverage their data are statistically more likely to succeed. The many possible uses for this information range from improved customer experiences and fraud prevention to enhanced homeland & government intelligence and improved logistics.
In other words, big data and analytics monetizes data which in turn offers competitive advantages, improvement in the decision-making process and increased revenue.

How to raise a global kid
Taking Tiger Mom tactics to radical new heights, these parents are packing up the family for a total Far East Immersion.
Happy Rogers, age 8, stands among her classmates in the schoolyard at dismissal time, immune, it seems, to the cacophonous din. Her parents and baby sister are waiting outside, but still she lingers, engrossed in conversation. A poised and precocious blonde, Hilton Augusta Parker Rogers, nicknamed Happy, would be at home in the schoolyard of any affluent American suburb or big-city private school. But here, at the elite, bilingual Nanyang Primary School in Singapore, Happy is in the minority, her Dakota Fanning hair shimmering in a sea of darker heads. This is what her parents have traveled halfway around the world for. While her American peers are feasting on the idiocies fed to them by junk TV and summer movies, Happy is navigating her friendships and doing her homework entirely in Mandarin.
Asians Underrepresented in Senior Ranks, Study Says
Despite relatively high salaries and an outsized share of Ivy League degrees, Asian-Americans are underrepresented in executive suites, according to a study released Monday.
One-quarter of Asian respondents said they face workplace discrimination, while only 4% of Caucasians believe Asians are treated unfairly on the job. According to the report, Asian-American workers are also more likely than other minority workers to work less or consider quitting because of bias."In Asia, there's a saying that the loudest duck gets shot; in America it's: the squeaky wheel gets the grease," said Ms. Hyun. "These things are totally different and at odds with each other."
Ironically, the relative success of Asian workers may be exacerbating the problem. To date, few companies have had career development programs for Asian employees, because they are seen as a "model minority," according to the report.
Ripa Rashid, a coauthor of the report, said that the survey reveals something that she hears often from workers and managers: Asian-American employees are culturally uncomfortable with the type of swagger and self-promotion that often spells success in U.S. firms.
The study also showed that Asian employees may be less comfortable sharing their personal lives with coworkers and less likely to enlist more senior coworkers as mentors or sponsors.
"They just put their heads down and work and believe that's all it takes to get to the top," Ms. Rashid said.
Tiger Mothers or Elephant Mothers? by Peter Singer
Tiger mothering might seem to be a useful counterbalance to such permissiveness, but both extremes leave something out. Chua's focus is unrelentingly on solitary activities in the home, with no encouragement of group activities, or of concern for others, either in school or in the wider community. Thus, she appears to view school plays as a waste of time that could be better spent studying or practicing music.
But to take part in a school play is to contribute to a community good. If talented children stay away, the quality of the production will suffer, to the detriment of the others who take part (and of the audience that will watch it). And all children whose parents bar them from such activities miss the opportunity to develop social skills that are just as important and rewarding – and just as demanding to master – as those that monopolize Chua's attention.
We should aim for our children to be good people, and to live ethical lives that manifest concern for others as well as for themselves. This approach to child-rearing is not unrelated to happiness: there is abundant evidence that those who are generous and kind are more content with their lives than those who are not. But it is also an important goal in its own right.

EchoStar exec leaves to launch software startup
Denver Business Journal
EchoStar's top technology executive has left the company to start a new business developing software products for corporations that struggle with creating customer-facing apps well or quickly.
Mike Marcotte's last day as EchoStar Corp.'s chief digital officer was July 19. Today, he's a one-man shop, called Acumen Digital, working out of the Boulder office of Galvanize, a Denver-based technology school with offices and coworking space for startups.
"Now I'll be a guy sitting at the end of a table with a laptop, like everybody else," he said.
Maybe not just like everybody else.
Marcotte had worked for eight years as an IT executive at EchoStar or Dish Network.
Douglas County-based EchoStar (Nasdaq: SATS) is the 6,000-employee television set-top box maker and satellite communications company controlled by Charlie Ergen, its cofounder and chairman. In 2008, EchoStar became a separate company from Ergen's satellite TV company, Dish Network Corp. (Nasdaq: DISH).
From working at EchoStar and other companies earlier in his carrer, Marcotte learned a lot about why large organizations struggle to make apps and similar products for customers, he said.
"They need to move fast, and the bureaucracy of these companies doesn't allow that," he said. "A vice president comes out of a strategy meeting on a new technology and says 'I need a horse with a white mane and a brown saddle' and a week later the engineers come back with a purple camel with a yellow hump. It happens all the time."
Marcotte formed Acumen Digital to be the nimble app-development shop for large companies, primarily finding clients among telecom companies at first.
The startup is well-funded by private investors, he said. The plan is to hire 20 highly-skilled software developers in coming months — with an eye on diversity of experience — and then expand to have 25 more in Denver by the end of 2015, Marcotte said.
Marcotte co-founded a medical billing software business in the 1990s, and he work as a senior vice president at Convergent Communications, a local telecom that boomed until it was felled in the telecom bust of 2001. After that he co-founded PathFinder, a software development company.
He joined EchoStar in 2006. Marcotte praised its entrepreneurial culture, which, he said, managed to offset a lot of the drags on innovation inherent in a large company.
The urge to build a new business of his own is what drove Marcotte's decision to leave, and the timing seemed right, he said.
"The climate is correct, and there's a problem to be solved," he said. "The tech ecosystem in Denver can handle this. Everything aligned."

So i've had my LG G2 for less than 6 months and within the last few weeks ive been having issues with it.
When I place an outgoing call, the screen immediately turns black and then it wont come back on. It wont allow me to hang up or use the dialpad when it does this. I try tapping the screen or pressing the power button but it doesn't do anything. The only way so far i've found is to hold the power button and restart the phone.
Also, when I am looking at it or texting, the screen will sometimes turn off and then i'll turn it back on and it will turn off again. Sometimes this happens multiple times. It doesn't happen all the time though, the other day I used it like normal and it didnt happen once. Other times, it does it constantly.
I've tried researching and troubleshooting but I haven't found anything that works. Could it be the proximity sensor? or even like dust under the screen? or is it something internal and I'd have to get it fixed or even sent back to verizon?
Are there any apps that would help?
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!!

I heard about this trial a few days ago.
It makes complete sense to use a patient's own cells to make replacement tissues.
But I wonder if the problem that led to the macular degeneration isn't built right into the replacement tissues? I don't know much about macular degeneration, but I always thought it was a genetic disease.
Anyway, it will be interesting to see how this works out.

A really superior tablet isn't just a fine piece of design, it's a tool that makes your life better and easier. The new Galaxy Tab S2 is definitely all that. Here are a few reasons why.
1. Slimmed Down for Portability and Comfort
The Galaxy Tab S2 is seriously thin. Just 5.6 millimeters thin, in fact, so it won't spoil the sleek lines of your favorite bag or jacket. It's extra-light, too, so binge-watching a favorite show won't wear out your wrist.
2. Password's Gone, But You're Still Safe
In this case, it's a good thing. You can have security without an additional password to remember, because the Galaxy Tab S2 has a fingerprint sensor built into the Home button. Just tap it, and you're in. It's as fast and convenient as having no password at all, but safer.
3. More Productivity, More Power
Leave the laptop behind. The Galaxy S2 comes with Microsoft Office preinstalled, so you don't need heavy hardware to do a bit of constructive work or studying. It's also got a more powerful processor than the previous Galaxy Tab S, so you'll do more in less time.
4. Wide Open Spaces to See It All
The new, wider screen gives you more real estate when you're working, and shows more of the page when you're viewing books or websites. Read more, scroll less.
5. Plenty of Storage for Everything You Need
Owning an Galaxy Tab S2 means never having to decide what to take with you. Start at 32GB or 64GB of storage space, and then add up to 128GB more through the micro-SD slot for a total of up to 192GB. That's a lot of books, pictures and movies.

Mindfulness can be defined as the practice of paying more attention to the present moment, which includes paying more attention to one's thoughts and feelings, as well as the world around.
The idea behind mindfulness is that, by becoming more aware of the present moment, we can know ourselves better, and become happier due to enjoying the world more. Mindfulness can help look at things afresh, and also notice harmful thoughts or behaviour patterns to stop engaging in them. Hence, it can also assist in letting go.
Some mindfulness practices include meditation, yoga, tai chi, qi gong, and others.

GRAPHIC CONTENT: Dying dog grows new face after MAGGOTS gnaw massive hole
A DOG has been saved after he was found in a hole with maggots destroying his face.
The animal – called Kalu – had a gaping hole in his face infested by maggots when two charity rescuers found him at a construction site in Udaipur in India.
His rehabilitation was filmed and published for the world to see by Animal Aid.
Charity workers agonised over whether to put him down or not after finding him.
"We knew we have to give him a chance," a charity spokesman said.
"So we began treatment on the most heartbreaking wound we had ever seen before."
The maggots were killed and Kalu was given IV fluids to keep alive.
"Over the course of three months Kalu astounded us with his strength, his incredible healing and all the love he had to give," the spokesman added.
Last year experts revealed they are developing a drug which could make dogs live years longer.
Rapamycin is being probed by scientists to see how it affects a dog's life expectancy.

a totally awesome platform game" created by Matt Thorson and Tom Sennet, but sadists the world over will get a fresh look at the titular character when Super Meat Boy brings its blend of punishment and pleasure to the PC. He's the second-to-last mystery character in the PC port, revealed today via the IndieGames blog, and sports a speed burst ability (natch). Oh, you had no idea? Yeah, RunMan is fast.
So, in case you were looking to keep score: on top of RunMan, we've also got headcrabs and goo, a robot, Captain Viridian and the Minecraft dude. Sheesh -- who's next, our own JC Fletcher?

Additionally, we'd also like to point out that you can now pre-order the Steam game here for 33 percent off the sticker price, for a limited time. Basically, its the same thing they did for Xbox Live.

This is the first time I have ever done the Doodle Bugs Five for Friday Linky Party. I am excited to reflect on the week and share in the fun as summer winds down. Here are a few fun things that happened during this busy, non-stop week!
Last Saturday I got to meet some of the bloggers that I follow and have connected with over the last few years! It was a fun day connecting, eating, and getting some really cool prizes. Thanks to Emily and Jen for all of your hard work.
My daughter really took a few leaps of faith this week. My nervous swimmer jumped right off of the diving board, which at the beginning of summer, I never thought would happen. This is the girl that has sat on the edge of the pool for swim lessons the last two years watching her friends learn how to swim. I am so proud of her and in awe of all the new things she has challenged herself to to this summer! I guess 5 changes some things! Look out, kindergarten!
Our local mall got a few of these…not sure that this is a favorite of mine, but it sure made my two littles happy at the mall on Monday night! That and the ICEE!
I am obsessed with clip art, especially clip art that I can use to make resources that don't make my 6th graders feel like "babies." I love these kiddos from Bilingual Scrapbook:
Lastly, I was inspired by all of the Back to School madness to finish a reader's theater and create this FREEBIE. I love productive weeks where I not only manage my nutty household, but also manage to squeeze in some essential school work!
Hope you had a great week as well! Be sure to link up!

If the internet is going to kill Flight Centre, then nobody is telling its customers. The company's total transaction value (TTV) – the value of all the plane tickets, cruise fares and hotel rooms booked – rose by 10% to $17.6bn in 2015. When you're dealing with numbers in the billions, a 10% growth rate is pretty darn impressive.
Flight Centre: Result 2015
If Flight Centre's management is worried about the company's future, it's doing a good job of hiding it.

Parent Experiences
Diego (3-day class)
We're a grateful Alumni family of Anchorage Cooperative Preschool. My husband and his brother attended ACP in the 70's with fantastic teacher Sally! ACP has been wonderful for my son Diego. At the beginning of the term, Diego was shy and needed a long warm-up period before interacting with others. By the middle of the year Diego had blossomed into a social, outgoing and extremely talkative child. This is his second year and he loves attending ACP and even wants to go to school on the weekends. Diego loves to re-enact his ACP play experiences at home including dressing up and singing songs. ACP provides a positive and supportive environment for kids and parents – we love ACP!
Rhys (3-day class)
Our son Rhys loves Anchorage Co-Operative Preschool! He loves teacher Sheila and the great group of "friends" he has gained since attending. We practically have to bribe him to leave at the end of the day and he has grown substantially, emotionally and cognitively, in his two years he has attended.
Rhys has always been the type of kid who was the life of the party when he is around people he was comfortable with but he has been very shy in public settings and around "strangers". He was very reluctant with the other kids and with the teachers during his first year at ACP. Recently however we have seen that fun, playful kid we see at home, come out at school and in other social settings. We have witnessed first-hand his social skill growth and are grateful to the staff, and volunteers, at Anchorage Co-Operative Preschool for their attention and expertise in the area childhood development.
Lucas (2-day class)
In a few short months I've seen Lucas' imagination and creativity blossom, and his social skills surpass my expectations. Coming into the preschool setting he was shy, standoffish, and merely an observer. Now, he jumps right on into activities and fulfills many dramatic roles. He has become very independent and confident in himself and continuously sings his little heart out. He has formed genuine friendships with his classmates and absolutely adores the teachers. He also interacts well with other students' parents…an important aspect of a Co-Op. I couldn't have asked for a better preschool experience for my child! Everyone involved in this organization has had a positive impact on my son and I truly appreciate that.
Kimber (3-day class)
My daughter Kimber was truly enlightened to her artistic side when she joined ACP. She once told me she wanted to be an artist. But being the nervous mom I never let her use scissors or glue at our house before. She couldn't even write her name when we started at Anchorage Cooperative Preschool.
At the age of 3, it started with simple paintings, several a day. Enough to make several months worth of gift wrap for many preschool friends. The art projects were fun and she wanted to replicate them at home. Making me loosen up on the glue and scissor area.
Last year she branched out and started making letters for all her friends at school. She would come home and make several cards for her "parties" she would hold for her friends. I had several days were I had to spell all their names for her.
Now with all her artistic collaborations she is making pictures of her friends with their names. Daily I find stacks of papers with every kids name in the class on them laying around the house. Kimber is so excited when it's my day to work in art room. She wants to show off her talents to me! We are blessed with all that ACP has given my child.
Dylan (2-day class)
I am so excited for Dylan to be starting preschool this year. Even as a new family to ACP I felt completely comfortable leaving Dylan on his first day of school During the last few weeks, he has already made huge strides in his learning, verbal and social skills. He loves painting, playing in the sandbox and seeing his friends. I can't wait to see his growth and development progress this year.
Joshua (3-day class)
Anchorage Cooperative Preschool has been wonderful for my son Joshua! When I brought him with me for the first orientation day, I was still in the process of choosing between preschools, but after that first day, I knew ACP was the right place for us. Joshua immediately warmed up to it. From that day on, he has been excited to come to school and is totally comfortable staying there with out me (this is a first for him)! I also really love the parent involvement aspect of a co-op. I like that the parents are always welcome to be in the classroom, whether it is their work day or not. So if my son is having a bad day and doesn't want me to leave him, I am welcomed and encouraged to stay with him as long as needed until he feels comfortable and ready.
It is very evident that the teachers are extremely dedicated to what they do and care deeply about the children. The play-based learning environment that they create for the kids fits very well for Joshua. He is able to explore new activities daily in a fun and relaxed environment that nurtures his social, artistic, gross motor, fine motor, and academic skills as well, all while he is playing and having fun!

It's getting hot in here, but taking off all your clothes in public is an offence in Singapore. So, what can we do? Where can we go? Why so bloody hot?!
First of all, CHILL. While fast solutions to beating the heat are welcomed, we have to think long term – and this means looking at measures that can help slow down rising temperatures not just in Singapore but around the world.
A recent news report tells us that, according to the Meteorological Service Singapore (MSS), the rate at which Singapore temperatures have risen in the past six decades is more than double than that of the global average. A likely major contributing cause? Rapid urbanisation.
Here's the thing. Urbanisation is a double-edged sword. Yes, it brings about opportunities for economic growth, but it also simultaneously contributes to climate change – a report from the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found that cities are responsible for up to 76 percent of the world's energy consumption and emit around 70 percent of global carbon emissions.
A few weeks ago, I watched a TED video featuring Tshering Tobgay, the Prime Minister of Bhutan. The video is only 18 minutes long, but the very poignant messages delivered by the Prime Minister will be forever ingrained in my mind. In his speech, he talks about Gross National Happiness (GNH), Bhutan's holistic approach to growth. Coined by the country's fourth Dragon King, Jigme Singye Wangchuck, the concept of GNH opposes that of Gross National Product (GDP) – rather than measure economic growth and wealth, GNH aims to improve the country's happiness and wellbeing, focusing on development with value. Says Mr Tobgay, "Economic growth is important, but that economic growth must not come from undermining our unique culture or our pristine environment."
Bhutan is not just carbon neutral, but a carbon sink. He says, "72 percent of our country is under forest cover, and all that forest is pristine. That's why we are one of the few remaining global biodiversity hotspots in the world, and that's why are are a carbon neutral country. In a world that is threatened with climate change, we are a carbon neutral country … Actually, that's not quite accurate. Bhutan is not carbon neutral. Bhutan is carbon negative. Our entire country generates 2.2 million tons of carbon dioxide, but our forests, they sequester more than three times that amount, so we are a net carbon sink for more than four million tons of carbon dioxide each year."
Mr Tobgay adds that Bhutan also exports renewable electricity, which works to offset about six million tons of carbon dioxide in their neighbourhood. "And if we were to harness even half of our hydropower potential, and that's exactly what we are working at, the clean, green energy that we export would offset something like 50 million tons of carbon dioxide a year. That is more CO2 than what the entire city of New York generates in one year."
Yet, despite the country's unwavering efforts, Bhutan is suffering from the consequences of climate change. While they are actively trying to salvage the problems caused by the rest of the world, melting glaciers are causing disasters like flash floods and landslides, wreaking havoc on the lives of people in Bhutan. And yet, Mr Tobgay says, "After all, we're here to dream together, to work together, to fight climate change together, to protect our planet together. Because the reality is we are in it together."
So, back to the question of how to beat the heat in Singapore. If you're after quick fixes, sorry, you won't see them here. In fact, a couple of the tips below may seem counterproductive. But in the long run, all of them can help reduce the effects of global warming.
Set your A/C temperature at 25°C or higher
Organisations, I hope you're reading this too. Many of the shopping malls, cinemas, and offices in Singapore are way too cold. The air conditioner consumes huge amounts of energy, which contribute to climate change, so set the temperature at 25°C or higher to considerably save the amount of energy used. At home, as much as possible, use a fan to keep cool as it consumes only one-tenth the electricity used by an air conditioner.
Turn off your car engine when you're not driving
Yes, even when you're in the car. A running car engine consumes fuel, which emits carbon into the atmosphere. Waiting for someone? Wind down your car window then!
Stop buying non-sustainable palm oil products
Scorching heat and the haze make the worst combination, no? The slash-and-burn method of producing palm oil in Indonesia has been majorly contributing to climate change and the loss of biodiversity. The situation isn't improving because the demand for palm oil products is still too darn high. One non-profit volunteer movement in Singapore aims to inspire children to make a difference. Beyond The Haze, founded by a group of parents, is dedicated to raising awareness about the root causes and broader effects of rainforest destruction in Southeast Asia. By educating the young, Beyond The Haze hopes children will educate themselves and their parents in environmentally friendly practices – from responsible food choices to recycling of paper and other materials.

David Fincher's
Emma Sayers
The Narrator
Tyler Durden
"All the ways you wish you could be, that's me. I look like you wanna look, I fuck like you wanna fuck, I am smart, capable, and most importantly, I am free in all the ways that you are not."
Marla Singer
"Marla's philosophy of life is that she might die at any moment. The tragedy, she said, was that she didn't."
"With insomnia, nothing's real. Everything's far away. Everything's a copy of a copy of a copy."
"I'm a thirty-year-old boy."
"We're a generation of men raised by women. I'm wondering if another woman is really the answer we need." - Tyler
The space monkey's use fight club to escape their families / work by finding new companions.
0:22: "David Fincher has claimed in interviews that there is at least one Starbucks cup visible in every scene."
The paper street house compared to Jack's flat shows the narrators' realisation that material goods don't equal happiness. he also stopped trying to achieve the american dream and just feel freedom.
Jack and Tyler's absent fathers could explain their behavior as Tyler asks his father "now what?" but doesn't get the guidance he needs and Jack's father abandons him to start a new franchise at age six.
Jack and Marla observe the chaos from a safe height and distance like fascist leaders.
"We buy things we don't need with money we don't have to impress people we don't like"
- Tyler
Project Mayhem strips the men of their identities and gives them a purpose. They believe they are doing the wrong thing for the right reasons. All the men of fight club are equals and by destroying the credit scores the whole country will become equals too.
"In death, a member of project mayhem has a name."
- The Mechanic
"Is that what a real man looks like?"
The underwear model looks like that for reasons of vanity, whereas Tyler has gained his physique through fighting.
Testicular cancer support group: the men have literally lost their manhood and Bob grew Bitch tits, but through fight club bob feels powerful and important again. What's more manly than bare knuckle fighting?
"Listen up, maggots. You are not special. You are not a beautiful or unique snowflake. You're the same decaying organic matter as everything else."
- Tyler
Power animal symbolism:
Cute & cuddly,
part of a crowd,
flightless bird,
males look after eggs,
black & white (suits),
"There's something more than ludicrous about sitting in a theatre while Brad Pitt preaches at you about the emptiness of materialism."
- Giroux
He lives alone and works a low status job. He is an everyday nobody.
Binary opposite of jack: He runs his own company and is charismatic with women. His personality allows the narrator to do things he wouldn't otherwise have done i.e. fight his boss.
"She's a predator posing as a house pet."
She attempts suicide to get attention because she feels unloved and worthless but Tyler comes to her rescue and she latches onto him, even though Jack does not want her around.
Angel face:
"I felt like destroying something beautiful."
"Fight Club was the beginning, now it's moved out of the basement, it's called Project Mayhem"
"It's only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything"
"Our fathers were our models for God. If our fathers bailed, what does that tell you about God?"
Quest for identity - 08:45
Ignore opening (01:52)
Robert Paulson
In his search for the perfect male figure he gained breasts. He was a body builder who took steroids which unltimately lead to him getting testicular cancer and having his balls removed. As a result his wife left him and his children don't speak to him.
Bob is feminised in the film because of his bitch tits and because he tried to follow the medias portrayal of the muscular man. In a film prodominately featuring men, he reminds me of Piggy from Lord of the Flies by William Goulding.
"His name is Robert Paulson..."
Costume designer: Michael Kaplan. Fincher also worked with him on Se7en, The Game and Panic Room.
"I am Jack's inflamed sense of rejection"
David Fincher: Auteur Theory
An auteur is a director with a recognisable signature in their work
Alien 3
The Game

Benjamin Button

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
An auteur director also has to work within the same genre, but david fincher does not as he has made thriller, drama, sci-fi and romance films.

New Tunisian government announced by PM
Opposition figures as Ahmed Ibrahim & Mustafa Jaafar will also have cabinet posts, PM Ghannouchi said.
Tunis: Tunisia`s prime minister appointed opposition figures to a new coalition government on Monday, trying to establish political stability after violent street protests brought down the president last Friday.
Prime Minister Mohamed Ghannouchi also said the government was committed to releasing all political prisoners, and that anyone with great wealth or suspected of corruption would face investigation.
Demonstrators took to the streets earlier in the day demanding that the ruling party of ousted President Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali give up power.
Some demonstrators said they would not accept members of the Ben Ali government as part of the new coalition. Security forces used water cannon and tear gas and fired shots in the air to disperse the protest, which ended peacefully.
The ministers of defense, interior, finance and foreign affairs will keep their jobs in the new government and opposition leaders including Najib Chebbi will have posts, the prime minister said.
Ghannouchi named Chebbi, founder of the Progressive Democratic Party (PDP) which opposed Ben Ali, as minister of regional development.
Opposition figures Ahmed Ibrahim and Mustafa Ben Jaafar will also have cabinet posts, Ghannouchi said.
Speaker of parliament Fouad Mebazza, sworn in as interim president, had asked Ghannouchi to form a government of national unity, and constitutional authorities said a presidential election should be held within 60 days.
Moncef Marzouki, a professor of medicine who leads the CPR Tunisian opposition party in exile in France, told Reuters separately he would be a candidate in a presidential election.
Before Ghannouchi spoke, about 1,000 people gathered in the capital`s main boulevard in a demonstration against the ruling RCD party, chanting: "Out with the RCD!" and "Out with the party of the dictatorship!"
One demonstrator, Monji Amari, said: "We are here to say `No`. We have had enough of this party of power. We do not want to see them anymore. Together with Ben Ali they are responsible for the situation that we are in now."
Ben Ali`s fall on Friday after weeks of violent street unrest sent shockwaves through the Arab world, where autocratic leaders preside over similarly repressive governments.
Ben Ali fled to Saudi Arabia amid a popular revolt against unemployment, corruption, poverty and repression in which at least 100 people died.
Leading Tunisian economist Moncef Cheikhrouhou said the central bank had told him that the former president`s family had taken 1.5 tonnes of gold worth $66 million out of the country.
Militia men loyal to Ben Ali had tried to raid the central bank on Sunday to remove more gold but had been routed by the army, he told Reuters in an interview.
Overnight, shooting could be heard in parts of Tunis, following clashes between special forces and members of the former president`s security detail on Sunday.
Residents reported seeing people in cars, on motorcycles and on foot firing shots apparently at random and then disappearing. People searched the roofs of their apartment blocks after reports that gunmen were firing on people below.
"There are snipers on the roof. We don`t know where. We are asking for immediate help from security forces," one caller to state television said.
Tanks and soldiers were stationed on the streets of Tunis, and the U.S. embassy said it would evacuate family members of its staff to Rabat on Tuesday.
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon called for the establishment of the rule of law in Tunisia, while the Arab League said Arab states should consider what lessons could be learned from the crisis.
There were long lines outside bakeries in Tunis on Monday morning as people started buying provisions after several days when shops were shut and most people stayed inside their houses.
Government offices were open for the first time since Thursday, though some employees said they would stay at home because they did not think traveling was safe.
Tunisia`s crisis, which began when a man set himself on fire after police seized his vegetable cart, seemed to be prompting copycat burnings. Four men were reported to have set themselves ablaze in Algeria, one in Egypt and one in Mauritania.
The crisis also raised fears for the economies of neighboring countries. The cost of insuring north African nations` debt against default rose sharply on Monday.
Egyptian stocks posted their biggest drop in seven months and the pound dipped to its weakest in almost six years on Monday as investors feared turmoil in Tunisia could spread.
The Tunis stock exchange was closed for Monday.

Happy Sunday! Wow, this week went by so fast! It was so busy! I took several days off out of my studio to just spend time with the family and friends, doing some shopping, some much needed cleaning, and a bit of nothingness. I am bad to let myself spend way too much time at the computer and at my worktable so I vowed this week to get out of the basement! I did my Sunday Stamping earlier today and then enjoyed some family time (hooray! Emma got the training wheels off her bike and she did great!). Now as the men-folk of the house make dinner I am blogging quickly so I can share today's stamping.
Today the tag I made was really pretty simple. I actually thought about the background while laying in bed last night pondering what I would make today. I wanted to create a really soft blending of gradated colors, from the sky to the ground. I am pleased with the finished effect. I applied colors using an ink blending tool, from top to bottom in horizontal bands across the tag: Wild Honey, Scattered Straw, Broken China, Shabby Shutters, and Peeled Paint.
After drying the inks on the tag, I misted the entire tag generously with Biscotti Perfect Pearls Mist. I blotted the excess mist off of the tag and then heat dried it again. I then added color on the edges with Gathered Twigs, Pine Needles, and Black Soot.
I stamped the clock image and butterflies using Rusty Hinge. Along the lower edge of the tag, I stamped wildflowers using Peeled Paint. I stamped the Umbrella Man next using Black Soot. Next, I added more wildflowers using Pine Needles. I like how the layering of the two shades creates depth in the image. Finally, I added a phrase to the tag using Jet Black Archival Ink. I made the phrase up myself as I was stamping. I had a lot on my mind about new days and new habits. Something about it doesn't feel grammatically correct, but it was the message on my heart today so I think that makes it ok.
As you can see (especially in previous photos), the pearl effect from the mist shows right through the images as if it was misted after the stamping. For images that I want to keep crisp and not soften or blend, I stamp after misting. The pearl does its magic and comes right to the forefront. In person, you can not even remotely tell that it is under the stamping. It is incredible stuff! Trust me, if you don't have some, you really do need it!
