FOR years Americans have regarded European jazz with the same tolerant smile they reserve for Japanese baseball. But something is stirring in the Old World. A generation of musicians is emerging from Europe's jazz underground, and now they're raising a tolerant smile at the mention of American jazz. Talk to them about the current state of the music, and it's as if an old and dear friend has passed away. They believe American jazz is retreating into the past while Europe is moving the music into the 21st century.
The highly praised Norwegian pianist Bugge Wesseltoft spoke for many recently when he said: ''I think American jazz somehow has really stopped, maybe in the late 70's, early 80's. I haven't heard one interesting American record in the last 20 years. It's like a museum, presenting stuff that's already been done.''
In the past, European musicians largely marched in step to whatever developments were coming out of America, striving to keep abreast of successive shocks announcing the new beginning with ragtime. But now a small group of musicians, most notably in France and Scandinavia, is taking the creative initiative and going its own way with the music. These musicians are embracing the liberating potential of jazz as dance music, taking elements from the European house, techno, drum 'n' bass and jungle scenes, and in so doing are re-establishing jazz's long lost links with popular culture. It is unlikely, however, that the new music will be in evidence at this year's JVC Jazz Festival, which begins in two weeks.
The music, called the European new jazz by musicians and critics, is not strictly acoustic, like much of mainstream American jazz, yet neither is it completely electronic. Bending improvisation around familiar and unfamiliar sounds and rhythms, this European jazz is moving out of the jazz club and into club culture, and young people are willing to line up around the block to hear it. While there have been experiments by American jazz musicians in combining jazz and hip-hop, like Miles Davis's ''Doo Bop,'' Gary Thomas's ''Overkill'' and Don Byron's ''Nu Blaxploitation,'' the results merely confirmed the seeming incompatibility of jazz and rap. In contrast, drum 'n' bass is not too far removed from driving jazz rhythms and can easily accommodate jazz improvisation. This reliance on specifically European club-culture styles differentiates the new music from the kind of experimental jazz coming from the Chicago underground and the New York downtown scene.
A feature of the European jazz is that the rhythms are a mixture of acoustic and sampled sounds. Electric basses are out, upright basses are in, and drum kits are pared down to snare, bass drum, high-hat and cymbals. Turntables and samples create haunting, often ambient backdrops against which the improviser plies his craft. The Norwegian trumpet player Nils Petter Molvaer, who has studied North African styles, makes music that is a mix of ethnic roots and modernity. In his playing, the minimalistic grooves of European house easily relate to African music. Similarly, some accents in rhythms like 7/8 and 9/16 are based in an old tradition of North African ethnic music; when played with electronic delays, they appear to make the rhythms float within the ambient soundscape.Continue reading the main story
Not surprisingly this new European music has raised cries of ''is this jazz?'' from purists both in America and in Europe. That question always greets experimentation in any artistic genre. Fans of New Orleans traditionalism similarly railed at the popularity of the big bands in the 30's and be-bop in the 40's. Even today, free jazz and Miles Davis's electric music, for some, hold a tenuous place in jazz history.
Certainly, European new jazz is not what jazz was but is a vision of what it can be. Nor does it compete with jazz's past achievements in the way today's jazz mainstream is doing. If jazz history tells us anything, it is that the music, until the last decade or so, has always been a reflection of its time. The new European jazz is unmistakably music of today.
''European jazz has liberated straight-ahead jazz from its harbor and has sailed away,'' said the French pianist Laurent de Wilde, who played on the New York scene for several years. ''Keeping tradition is a great thing, but it's not the only thing. You have to keep tradition but at the same time keep evolving.''
Therein lies a fascinating European paradox. At the turn of the 20th century, many European artists blamed ''the tradition'' of Western culture for stifling creativity, particularly in classical music. The composer Darius Milhaud and other French artists of his generation, including Ravel and the Paris-based Stravinsky, looked beyond European traditions to the vitality and exuberance of jazz . Milhaud's 1923 ballet ''La Création du Monde'' was hailed for its strong jazz influences. Now jazz itself is looking beyond its boundaries for a new vitality and exuberance.
In France, the enigmatic Ludovic Navarre's group, St. Germain, has had considerable success in combining French house music and jazz. Released last year, the group's album ''Tourist'' has already sold more than 600,000 copies, mostly in Europe. To put this figure into context, sales of 10,000 in the jazz world represent a hit record. In bars, restaurants, clubs and clothing stores across Europe, St. Germain's ''Rose Rouge'' has become ubiquitous with its insistent 4/4 vamp and the now-famous sample of Marlena Shaw singing ''I want you to get it together.''
With fluent, lively improvisation from the trumpeter Pascal Ohse, the saxophonist and flutist Edouard Labor, the keyboard player Alexander Destrez and the guitarist and reggae pioneer Ernest Ranglin, St. Germain is reaching young audiences in a way that has relevance for them, through dance -- just as jazz did in the Swing Era. This idea was not lost on Jazz at Lincoln Center, which presented the ''For Dancers Only'' tour last year. But the title of the tour says it all: it was taken from a 1937 hit record by the Jimmie Lunceford Orchestra.
The flute virtuoso Malik Mezzadri, who has occasionally played in St. Germain, said recently: ''St. Germain has changed the way the public thinks about jazz in France -- don't put it in a box. You listen, you dance, this is what my generation wants, the dance.''
Mr. Mezzadri is a charismatic figure on the Paris jazz scene. Mere mention of his name is enough to fill any club there, and the makeup of the musicians and the music on his latest album, ''Magic Malik,'' reflect the racial diversity of Paris, that most cosmopolitan of European cities. ''In my band, I have South American, African and Cuban musicians,'' he said. ''I grew up in the West Indies, in Guadeloupe, and this is a population that came from Africa, with slaves.'' His music is rhythmically unambiguous while bursting with pan-ethnic frissons.
Something of the excitement of the current Parisian jazz scene is captured on ''Candombe'' from the saxophonist Julien Lourau's album ''Gambit,'' which was recorded live at the New Morning Club last year. With Mr. Mezzadri as a featured sideman, the music is intense and compelling as Mr. Lourau's tenor sax riffs mediate the ebb and flow of the powerful drum 'n' bass-influenced grooves. ''I want to play for people my own age and even younger because I think jazz is not elitist,'' Mr. Lourau said.
The new crop of Scandinavian jazz artists was inspired by an earlier generation, particularly the Norwegian saxophonist Jan Garbarek, who achieved international recognition on the Munich-based ECM label run by Manfred Eicher. In the mid-90's, young musicians like Mr. Wesseltoft, Mr. Movaer, the drummer Audun Kleive and the guitarist Eivind Aarset, all of whom are Norwegian, rejected the contemplative calm of what Mr. Eicher called the ''Nordic tone'' and began experimenting with dance-based grooves. Mr. Wesseltoft formed his own record label, Jazzland, and his album, ''New Conception of Jazz,'' sold more than 40,000 copies across Europe -- remarkable sales for a small independent label. ''Jazz is American, of course,'' he said. ''But I feel the techno and electronics scene is more European. The beats I'm using, the grooves, I feel I'm not stealing from the black American music scene.''
In 1998 Mr. Aarset recorded ''Electronique Noir'' and created one of the best post-Miles albums. ''My approach has come out of the Nordic jazz thing inspired by people like Jan Garbarek and Terje Rypdal, and the serious ECM approach to music mixed with techno beats,'' he said.
Mr. Molvaer's 1997 album, ''Khmer,'' has sold more than 100,000 copies in Europe. It led to Mr. Molvaer's nomination for the prestigious Nordic Council Music Prize 2000 and several awards, including the annual prize of the German Record Critics, and was voted Jazz Record of the Year by LA Weekly.
One of the most talked about groups currently on the European circuit is the Esbjorn Svensson Trio (or E.S.T., as they call themselves), which saw its latest album, ''Good Morning Susie Soho,'' shoot to No. 15 on the pop album chart in the group's native Sweden, alongside the likes of Madonna and Radiohead -- a significant achievement for a jazz piano trio. Highlights of this album, along with those from his 1999 release, ''From Gargarin's Point of View,'' are to be issued by Sony Jazz in the United States in August as ''Somewhere Else Before.''
Curiously, British jazz musicians have only tentatively embraced the club-culture rhythms that largely emanated from London. The saxophonist Courtney Pine is the best-known exception. His album, ''Back in the Day,'' shows that he has moved a considerable distance from the 1980's, when he was seen as Europe's Wynton Marsalis. (He even recorded with Mr. Marsalis's father, Ellis). His latest album uses samples and computer-generated rhythm tracks, underpinning some torrid soloing on soprano and tenor saxophone.
ALL these Europeans readily acknowledge that jazz is America's gift to the world. But what impact will this fast-changing European scene have on American jazz? Initially, the effect is most likely to be felt financially. Money, as Cyndi Lauper once famously sang, changes everything. Europe has historically been a key market for American jazz in album sales, in its extensive festival circuit and in year-round gigs. Just how important was once highlighted by a comment made by George Wein, the producer of the JVC festival: ''No Europe, no jazz.''
If American jazz remains fixed in the certainties of the mainstream, European jazz musicians may move into the space long occupied by Americans. Indeed, Mr. Svensson is doing just that. Recently he was on the cover of two major German jazz magazines as well as the influential French magazine Jazzman. He was also hailed by the German news weekly Der Spiegel as ''The Future of Jazz Piano'' (along with the American pianist Brad Mheldau), and his ''Good Morning Susie Soho'' was named album of the year in a poll conducted by the critics of the British magazine Jazzwise, an award that has hitherto been the province of American jazz albums.
The emergence of the European new jazz poses the intriguing question of whether American jazz can maintain its stance without lapsing even further into high-art marginality, given its dependence on the European market. As the American saxophonist and clarinetist Michael Moore, who now lives in the Netherlands, put it recently: ''In America there's more pressure to be conformist, and players can work a lot more if they play tunes in a traditional way. In Europe there's a larger audience that grew up listening to experimental jazz over a 25-year period, and they appreciate not hearing the same thing all the time.''
Suddenly there is real possibility that the stewardship of the music may no longer remain exclusively American. ''Europe is going to be the place for jazz,'' Mr. Svensson said. ''We're ready now. We like to sound different.''Continue reading the main story

THE maximum payment available to victims of crime will double if the South Australian government wins the March election.
Attorney General John Rau said under a re-elected Labor government the maximum compensation available would be $100,000 and payments would be indexed annually.
"Victims often suffer a range of physical and psychological injuries, the impact of which can be devastating for both the victim and for their family," he said on Friday.
"While financial compensation cannot make up for the harm victims suffer, it can assist in their recovery."
For the first time, someone under the age of 18 would be eligible for grief payments.
The maximum compensation payable for grief and funeral expenses would be doubled to a maximum payment of $20,000 for grief and $14,000 for funeral expenses.
"These reforms will also see an increase of around 40 per cent in fees for legal representatives who deal with these matters," he said.

Mary Lambrechts has been our RCIA Director since 2012 and really loves her job and the vibrancy of Sacred Heart Parish! The RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) is a beautiful process that welcomes adult non-Catholics or those adult Catholics completing their Sacraments, into the fullness of the Catholic Church. She loves to share the Catholic faith with others and enjoys the opportunity to see people grow through the RCIA process. Additionally she directs the RCIA program at the Church of Nativity.
Mary is a native of the Johnson County area, attended Cure of Ars grade school, Bishop Miege High school and Benedictine College. She is a parishioner at Holy Cross parish and is married to Bob, an attorney at Lathrop & Gage and has two children—an adult daughter who resides in Berkeley, CA and a son who is at St. Thomas Aquinas High School. In her spare time, Mary loves to read, mostly theology or spiritual reading, but also historical novels. Her favorite Scripture verse is from Colossians, because it is a reminder of what it truly means to be a disciple of Christ: "Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, heartfelt compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience, bearing with one another and forgiving one another…and over all these put on love, the bond of perfection." Col. 3:12-14

Leica D-Lux Explorer Kit
Babysitting our camera's lens cap is probably the thing we like the least about shooting, even with the thousands of accessories that promise to safeguard it while it's off the lens. Leica compact D-Lux with Explorer Kit, on the other hand, lets you spontaneously snap away without having to worry about a cap thanks to its clever lens cover that splits and opens up as the camera is turned on. The camera itself comes equipped with a big Four Thirds sensor and a fast Leica DC Vario-Summilux 10.9–34 mm f/1.7–2.8 ASPH zoom lens that complement its spirit of quickness. Also included is a rugged red cotton carrying strap for securing the compact cam around your wrist. Though if you've already got a D-Lux just grab the Auto Lens Cap ($60) and call it a day.

Release Date: September 23th, 2014
Developer: EA Canada
Publisher: EA Sports
Platform: [Reviewed: Xbox One], PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3
Genre: Sports
Rated: E for Everyone
Ladies and gentlemen we are back on the field for another year of FIFA. It's officially been a full circle and the fans are geared up. With FIFA 15 being the second release on the new-gen consoles and seeing the massive improvement from Madden NFL 15 and the upcoming NBA Live 15, what's new on for our football players.
Before settling into the main menus Marti Tyler and Alan Smith It introduces you to the Liverpool vs Manchester City championship game. It's an amazing experience drawing me into FIFA 15's gameplay before anything else. As I first started I found myself struggling with this being my second year trying a new jersey for review. But as I found my footing and thoroughly embraced playing as Liverpool, I took the title home.
FIFA immediately draw players in by showcasing its new camera angles and presentation. Even for the casual player controls felt natural. Never did I feel like I struggled from controls, just adjusting from testing the waters of Pro Evolution Soccer 15, which by the way may taste defeat this year when looking at overall gameplay.
Shooting felt more natural than last year as well. Player movement in FIFA 14 felt stiffer when playing offensively. This year however it was a smoother transition running across the field, passing and getting those quick inside shots, complementing the new goalie read and react system.
The only issue I have with FIFA and other EA Sports games is the Ultimate Team Cards. I get the concept, but after a couple years, I'm slowly beginning to feel brainwashed over Team Cards. It's great of you want to create your own fantasy team, buying cards to personalize your experience. In addition you have the option of trading with other gamers from all over the world.
FIFA this year is much more impressive than FIFA 14 all-around, including the presentation. New animations and mechanics drive their tag "Feel the Game." I especially felt the expression as my player when down harder than a tackle from J.J. Watts in the NFL. FIFA 15 officially earns the goal, move out the way goalie!
Gameplay: 4.5/5
Visuals: 4.5/5
Controls: 4.5/5
Audio: 4/5
Replayability: 4.25/5

We work with a lot of photographers in different areas, and they are all so special and uniquely talented. One of our most recent partners was Jenice Baker Photography, when she shot this styled wedding shoot we did recently. So today, we're sitting down with her to talk about her favorite parts of her job, and her best advice for engaged couples (you'll want to read her book recommendation before you say 'I do'!)
What makes your photography unique?
I love the light! I often tell my clients that we are going to "chase the light."
I think you can see my love of light in my photography. It shines in crisp, clear colors that are natural and not heavily edited.
What is included in your packages? What is your price range?
My packages run from $1974 – $2997 and can be customized to fit each couple's unique needs for their wedding day. Each package comes with digital images along with print release, a print credit, and a beautiful wedding album. I am incredibly passionate about my clients having an album showcasing a selection of their wedding photos and you can read more about that on my post "The Value of a Wedding Album" here on Apple Brides.
How would you describe your style?
Two words that come to mind when I hear that question are fresh and enjoyable. I think the "fresh" shows in the light and color shown in my photography, and I think the "enjoyable" is in the way we (my second shooter husband and I) interact with you during the day. From the time we sit down with you to develop a schedule for your wedding day to end of your special day, we seek to make your wedding relaxing and fully enjoyable. This is evident in my posing as well. When I put you in a pose you get to interact naturally and lightheartedly. The best is when we can get you to laugh (cue my husband's sense of humor). While we strive to bring professionalism to all we do, we also seek to be more than a vendor. We want to be your friends. A highlight from of my weddings this past summer was a bride telling me "Oh, Jenice, I think you and I could be good friends!"
What should brides and grooms look for in their photographer?
A lot of this comes down to style. You really need to know what catches your eye in regards to wedding photography. Spend some time on Pinterest pinning the wedding shots you love. Visit photographers' blogs and note what your eye likes and what it doesn't. You can also read more about this on my post "Do you know your wedding photography style?" here on Apple Brides.
Any tips or advice for wedding planning?
This is probably going to surprise you! To me, a wedding isn't just a gorgeous, fun-filled event you've been dreaming and planning for months. It's the birth of something incredibly special and sacred – a marriage. I think that's worth investing in before you walk down the aisle. One of the best things you can do during the months before your wedding is to pour into your future marriage, learn more about who your soon-to-be spouse is, and spend some time away from wedding planning and enjoy each other because let's face it, wedding planning can be stressful. A couple great resources you might consider are "Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts" by Drs. Les & Leslie Parrott or The Gottman Institute's work.

In the context of the 23rd commemoration of the genocide against the Tutsis, a delegation of the Rwanda Development Bank (BRD) on Wednesday donated iron sheets for roofing of newly constructed houses of genocide survivors in Kirehe district Eastern province.
At the district's Kigina sector, the team helped finish the roofing of Imelda Mukasharangabo, a 44-year-old widow and mother of 6 children.
"I cannot express my joy," she said. "For years I have been living in poor conditions in a small house, which was especially bad during the rainy season. But now I have reason to thank God for blessing me through the hands of these well-wishers."
Her new house is among 99 others of the same type being constructed in various parts of the district, with the aim to improve the wellbeing of those who were particularly affected by the 1994 genocide against the Tutsis. The district, the Reserve Forces and BRD all contribute to the project which has a first phase of 22 houses.
Kirehe Mayor Gerald Muzungu explained that the project concerns more than 100 households, and the support from various organizations is highly commendable.
"Like BRD, they pledged to support us with roofing of the houses we intend to construct, which helped us save on our budget so we can build even more houses," he said.
Referring to the Reserve Force which is in charge of the construction, he said: "We appreciate their skills especially in engineering as well as their integrity, which is admirable."
BRD's support to the project is part of its annual corporate social responsibility program which targets a sustained positive impact. Among the areas of support are health, housing and agriculture.
The roofing support to the Kirehe project amounts to Rwf 42 million. For the last three years, BRD has been supporting Kirehe district through CSR because of the pressing needs identified in the area. The bank's Chief Risk Officer, Peter Rwambala, explained that the district was hard hit by the war and genocide.
"So far we have constructed the Nyarubuye memorial site and also paid Mutuelle, mattresses and offered 5 sewing machines to an association of genocide widows," he remarked. "We believe that the support will change their lives for better."

The list topic is books. What about books? I suppose that's up to me. I am 100% incapable of reviewing a book (or a movie or TV show, in case you're curious). The best I can tell you is that I liked something or didn't, but I can't tell you why. If we're watching TV and you get up to use the bathroom, when you come back I can't tell you what happened. It's only gotten worse as I've aged.
The other thing that's gotten worse since I aged? My ability to read a book! Before I had a child, I was always busy. Now that I have a child, I'm tired and always busy. In high school though I devoured books.
So, here's a list of books and some things about them. I do not claim that this list will do anything for you in any way, shape or form.
1. The Secret Diary of Laura Palmer – I was a huge Twin Peaks fan when it was on which was when I was in high school. I've rewatched the series several times since it's then. There were quite a few books on the matter back in the day. I loved this because it was depressing and Laura was a bad girl – so different from how I was. In a sick way, I wanted to be her. Except for the dead part.
2. All of the Jim Morrison poetry books that came out in the early 90s. – Also, from when I was in high school. Drugs seemed cool. I wanted to be cool. Being the female Jim Morrison sounded cool. Except for the dead part (noticing a pattern here?).
3. Lord of the Flies – Probably the only book in high school that I truly loved. In college, I reread it and then wrote a lengthy paper comparing it with the two movies that had been made of it. I got an A. Lucky day for me.
{I think I'm done fixating on high school books and I'll move on to college now.}
4. Summer Sisters by Judy Blume – This book made me sob when I read it about 14 years ago. I remember the big twist that happened somewhere near the end (I won't spoil it for you). Other than that, I just remember really liking it and it reminding me of a friendship that I had with someone from my past. But then I read some Amazon reviews that said it was bad, so who knows if it's any good or not. Maybe I'll read it again. In all my "spare" time.
5. A Thousand Acres by Jane Smiley – A wonderful book about the dynamics of a particular family. Really well written. I think it won an award. I'm too lazy to look this up. But you can, I'll wait. I read this in college and felt all smart writing a paper on it. There was a scene where someone uses a plant to try to kill someone. I read it before the internet was a real thing, but if I had known about Google, I'd have looked up to see if it was true.
{Moving on to post-college}
6. Bossypants by Tina Fey – OK, I just love Tina Fey. I also love her character Liz Lemon on 30 Rock, which makes me love the actress even more. I wish I had written that book because it was hilarious. Then I read the bad reviews on Amazon and they offended me as though I HAD written it.
7. Running with Scissors and Dry by Augusten Burroughs – I cannot tell you a blessed thing about either of these books other than that I loved them, have wanted to reread them since I finished them and they inspired me to want to write.
8. Permanent Midnight by Jerry Stahl – I read this on a plane going somewhere for work. Chicago maybe? Perhaps Nashville. It hardly matters. I love a good book about people's addictions. This one did not disappoint. The movie wasn't nearly as good though.
9. Daughter of the Drunk at the Bar by Michelle O'Neil – This book was particularly interesting because I too was a daughter of a drunk at a bar. She tells a compelling story of growing up in a less than ideal situation. I believe it was self-published, which adds an extra element of cool for an aspiring writer such as myself. I read this recently (did you notice how much more detail I gave you here?), just as I was getting back into writing so it added even more of an inspirational element to it.
{You know how at a fireworks display they throw up everything they have left for the big finale? Well, watch this!}
10. Books by J.D. Salinger, Chuck Palahniuk, David Sedaris, Dean Koontz, Stephen King and others that I'm sure I'm forgetting. In one way or another, they all inspired me to want to write, to tell a good story, to entertain, to be enigmatic and clever and funny. They were the foundations of many conversations with good friends and my husband. They were the subject of school papers, they were the reason I didn't get to bed on time on many nights. They were my reason for getting up in the morning just to finish them.
Writing this list made me want to go read more. And isn't that just a little bit of why we read – so we can want to read more?
I'm linking up again with Monday Listicles. Click the badge and you can see other great lists!
How could anyone not have loved Tina Fey's book?! I have trouble reading books since I became a mom. It is not a coincidence I listed kid books, they are the ones I read every day.
I am really enjoying this Monday Listicles. It is proving to provide some great suggestions for my daughter and myself and your list is no exception. I didn't think of Jim Morrison poetry for my daughter. She's into music and poetry…should be perfect. I haven't read a book of fiction in I don't know how long. I'm beginning to think I miss it.
Aww, thanks! I can't remember a thing about them except that I loved them and they were perfect for my broody, angsty teen self. I don't read much fiction anymore either (or anything). I read about food and memoirs mostly.
I just read Bossypants and I thought it was spectacular. I am also a huge fan of Augusten Burroughs. Good list.
Thanks! I need to find time to read them again!
Oh Man. Laura Palmer was my secret high school girlfriend. So was Donna. And Shelly. And Aubrey. In fact, pretty much every female character on TP *except* Laura's mom and Log Lady were my secret high school girlfriends.
Holy crap you cracked me up!! When we would talk about who of us would play the TP girls, I got to be Donna. My husband had a thing for Sherilynn Fenn for a while and it made me way more jealous than a rational girl should be. (BTW, my husband and I were dating in high school, so he had the joys of my teenage insecurities!)
The Log Lady!! I can't even read that line without giggling.
I've heard from a lot of people that Bossypants was fun and a good read. Perhaps, I should finally add it to queue for the library?
I loved it, but I love Tina Fey. If you're not into her kind of humor you might not like it. But I hope you do read it and love it!!
I loved Bossypants, too. And Summer Sisters. I need to check out some of your other choices.
Pretty eclectic mix of authors, but all good at what they do in my opinion.
AWESOME list. A Thousand Acres, Lord of the Flies. And Especially number 10. Loved it.
What a list. Loved Lord of the Flies too. TP. the memories.

In Season Now – March
Last week was particularly lovely and trying. I think I managed to cover all of the earth's major climatic zones except for the extreme cold of the arctic circle and the extreme heat of the Sahara desert.
In just week I visited Milan, New York, Salt Lake City, San Diego, and Santo Domingo. I'm sure you all can imagine how different the weather was in each of these cities. In fact, I got back home just in time to spend countless hours in bed recovering from the flu. I'm pretty sure my body was rebelling against having to deal with too many extremes.
Anyways, as usual all the traveling, makes me think about "what's in season in now". Which as last week reminded me is hugely dependent on what corner of the earth you find yourself in at this very moment. My list is based upon Northern hemisphere Mediterranean weather, which as you all probably remember for geography class, also covers most of California.
Avocados, Cherimoyas, Grapefruit, Kumquats, Lemons, Limes,Oranges, Pomelos, Strawberries
Artichokes, Asparagus, Avocados, Beets, Bok Choy, Broccoli, Broccoli Rabe (rapini), Brussels sprouts, Cabbage, Cardoons, Carrots, Cauliflower, Dandelion greens, Endive, Fava Beans, Fava Greens, Fennel, Kale, Leeks, Lettuce, Mustard Greens, Nettles, Onions, Orach, Parsley, Parsnips, Radicchio (chicories), Radishes, Rutabagas, Scallions, Shallots, Spinach, Sunchokes, Turnips,
Fish/Seafood – East Coast
Cod, Haddock, Pollock, Flounder Sole, Hake, Sea Bass, Striper, Bay Scallops, Sea Scallops, Mussels, Oysters, Rock shrimp
Fish/Seafood – West Coast
Columbia River Smelt, Calamari Squid, Halibut, Mussels, Sablefish (aka black cod or butterfish), King crab, Spot prawns

Sachin Tendulkar officially released his autobiography 'Playing It My Way' in Mumbai on Wednesday. The book grabbed headlines even before the launch with Tendulkar attacking former India coach Greg Chappell, calling him a "ringmaster."
Tendulkar has made some startling revelations in the book and has used uncharacteristically strong words. (Tendulkar's Career Would Have Been Incomplete Without World Cup: Akram)
Here are the top 10 quotes from Playing It My Way that are sure to stay in public memory for a long time:
1)"No one from the BCCI managed to call me or inform me of my removal as captain before someone from the media called to say I was no longer captain. I felt extremely humiliated to hear this."
2.)"I told myself that the BCCI mandarins might be able to take the captaincy away from me, but no one could do the same as far as my own cricket was concerned."
3)"I want to state very clearly that the (Monkey Gate) incident arose because Andrew Symonds had been continually trying to provoke Bhajji (Harbhajan Singh) and it was inevitable that the two would have an altercation at some point."
4)"I still believe that the (Monkey Gate) matter would not have been blown so out of proportion if (Ricky) Ponting had discussed it with the captain Anil Kumble, Harbhajan and the Indian team management before reporting the incident to Mike Procter, the match referee."
5)"Kapil Dev's method (as India coach) of involvement and his thought process was limited to leaving the running of the team to the captain, and hence he did not involve himself in strategic discussions that would help us on the field."
6)"Just months before the World Cup, (then India coach) Greg Chappell had come to see me at home and, to my dismay, suggested that I should take over the captaincy from Rahul Dravid."
7)"I hated losing and as captain of the team I felt responsible for the string of miserable performances. More worryingly, I did not know how I could turn it around, as I was already trying my absolute best."
8)"It (losing) was hurting me badly and it took me a long time to come to terms with these failures. I even contemplated moving away from the sport completely, as it seemed nothing was going my way."
9)"Mind you, there is little doubt in my mind that we would have drawn (Sydney Test of 2008) had it not been for what seemed to us to be mistakes by the umpires and some rather unsportsmanlike conduct by a few of the Australian players."
10)The best of the best: Ian Chappell in 2007, had written in a column that Tendulkar should look at the mirror and ask himself if he was good enough to continue playing cricket. Tendulkar responds: "I showed him the size of the mirror in 2008 when we toured Australia (Sachin was man of the series in the VB Series) He should have realised that the man he is asking to stand infront of the mirrior has played more cricket than him"

|1,500 sq. ft.
|Property type
This lovely home is a 3 minute walk from Pemaquid Beach and Fort William Henry on the Pemaquid Peninsula in mid-coast Maine. Originally, this building was the Pemaquid Beach Community Club, built in 1932 by determined neighborhood women. It has 10' tin ceilings, beautiful maple floors and vintage light fixtures. Restored and renovated, the home is charming,comfortable and spacious with beautiful gardens. This home was designed with children in mind, and has plenty of room even on rainy days!
Screened front porch facing west, sunny back porch. Fully equipped eat-in kitchen with a sunny 10' window seat . Enormous living room - 4 couches, easy chairs. Upstairs bedroom 30' x 20', has king bed, 2 twin beds and comfortable sitting area. Downstairs bedroom has queen bed. Linens, towels, cable TV, DVD player.Cottage heated.
Dottie has been vacationing in this area since a child with her parents,and once married she and Rog and their three children have come back every year. This magical,gorgeous area of Maine gets in your 'blood!' It is now a favorite home for their children,grandchildren,and family who stay frequently.In 2004 we were able to purchase this beautiful property and carry on renting our'vintage cottage' so other people can enjoy this special part of coastal Maine.
Roger & Dottie McConnell purchased this cottage in 2004
Close to the two beaches,fort and wonderful area to walk and bike!
Both the cottage and the main house are steeped in local history
We had a great time in this quaint cottage walking distance to one of our favorite beaches - Pemaquid Beach. An open, airy and light-filled cottage with a screened in porch. Perfect for a small family.
In August of 2015 my husband and I rented this charming and historic cottage to be near our children and grandchildren. We found this place large, very clean and airy. Perfect place for families and friends to gather1 I was unable to write a review following our stay, but it has been nagging at me. I wanted to thank the very helpful owners who went out of their way to give us information about the area. You will enjoy the cottage, the setting with an easy stroll to the neighborhood Mother's Beach.
We stayed a week in the cottage with another couple and found it a very comfortable place to stay. For two couples, there was plenty of room. Outstanding amenities include a pretty screened-in porch and a kitchen very well suited to meal preparation and easy seating for 6 people. There are lots of comfortable chairs and couches for the evening, and the beds are very comfortable. There are windows all around, and so the ventilation is very effective. The cottage was very clean when we arrived. It is only a short walk to the beach and to the boat launch and the local restaurant. It's a beautiful quiet area, away from hectic Booth Bay, but convenient to picturesque Maine scenery, galleries and good shopping. The owners were very responsive and easy to deal with in arranging our stay. This place is a great bargain -consider it for your next Maine holiday.
My husband, well behaved dog and I have been staying at this cottage for a week every year, since 2004. Rog and Dottie have created a "home away"--the cottage suits us perfectly.
We love the cottage's: cleanliness, screened in porch, cheerful color scheme, the short walk to the beach, the wonderful restaurants nearby, beautiful landscaping, wireless access, washer and dryer, the charm/history of the cottage... and much more!
Rog and Dottie, the "landlords," have become friends.They are gracious hosts, always available to make sure we are having a great time.
Our only regret has been that we've stayed just one week, not two. We hope to remedy that problem in the year ahead!
We offer our enthusiastic recommendation for the "Charming Vintage Maine Cottage."

St. Paddy's Day is saturday! Anyone going out and what are you wearing? Green of course!
HA, i 'M wearing a youth group green shirt for a retreat with my group of 26 . we never planned it- just so happened the kids picked a green shirt last year.
Im going out... just not wearing green haha! Ive got an 18th party and its like a prince/princess theme so im wearing a red wrap around dress and patent black stills!
haha im going to go tricky...jeans, top and green contats muhuhahahahahahahaa maybe ill throw in my green gucci heels justtttt to balance it out
I'm going to a house party so I'll probably wear my green DVF silk top with some skinny jeans.
haha anyways it doesnt matter what you wear its what you DRINK! as long as you drink like an irishman... and i suppose ill make up for lack of green with double the drinking lol
hmmm i'll be out somewhere and i'm wearing my green/blue vintage DVF wrap.
oooh- this thread is JUST what i've been looking for...
I'm going to be going to a friend's bday party on St. Paddy's day, and St. Paddy's day is kind of evolving into the theme of the party.
I need some outfit suggestions. I'm not a big "green" person normally, so I dont' have much of anything green in my wardrobe, and I'd probably have to go out and get something. I'd like to actually wear something green rather than just throwing in a green accessory-
anyone have any ideas of how I can incorporate the color into an outfit? I don't want something blaring (i.e. no green dress and green shoes ensemble...), but still want to be festive. Also, the attire will probably be semi-casual, nothign too fancy. I'd preferably like something that's not too $$$, since I probably won't wear the green item that often.
suggestions? TIA!
I am definetely going out & drinking some green beer. I am wearing jeans & a great halter top.
Yeppin: what about wearing a green belt or even a green scarf in your hair?
Thanks, pisdapisda...after some thought, I think green accesories may be the way to go for me...I will look into that. Thanks!

Tim Cook's kinder, gentler management style is the biggest reason why 2016 was one of the most boring years for Apple in recent memory, according to a former employee of the company.
Steve Jobs was notorious for inciting conflict and competition between top employees, which him a controversial leader but also birthed some of the most iconic tech products ever (iMac, iPod and iPhone). After Cook took over, he worked to eliminate conflict within Cupertino's walls and made employees less passionate, claims ex-Apple employee Bob Burrough.

Three Chilean television stations that refused to broadcast an HIV prevention advertisement targeting gay and bisexual men are being sued by Chile's Unified Movement of Sexual Minorities, The Lancet reports. The lawsuit contends that the nation's constitutional right to health is being denied to gay men who could benefit from the messages in the ads. Chile's National AIDS Commission, in association with local AIDS service organizations, produced the spots. Health officials say stronger HIV prevention outreach is needed to reach gay and bisexual men, who account for more than 80% of the nation's HIV and AIDS cases.
Two of the channels that refused to air the ad are owned by the Catholic Church, which says it rejected the ads because they allegedly encourage promiscuity by saying having multiple partners is acceptable as long as condoms are used. But critics say the channels employ a double standard, showing promiscuous heterosexuals in popular soap operas broadcast on the stations. "They constantly use sexual images to promote consumption, but when those images refer to the sexual transmission of HIV, they start promoting their editorial line," said Anrabella Arredondo, coordinator of the national AIDS commission. "This campaign is directed at people who are involved in high-risk behavior, and the means at their disposal for protecting themselves is condom use."

Pumped. review by Hulk on 10/13/2015
This product worked very well for me. I kept a nice pump during my workouts. It gave me a nice muscle fullness throughout the day also. The vascularity it gives is great for thise roadmap viens. Most of its effects were mainly vanity but i felt a little bit of increased performance in the gym. Maybe placebo from looking good in the mirror, none the less it still made a difference.*DISCLAIMER. Individual results may vary.
Great Product review by Jake on 5/3/2015
This is definitely one of my favorite pump products. It wakes me up in the morning, and by the time I hit the gym, my pump is unreal. I warmed up with 135 last Monday on bench and automatically got an epic pump. Love this product and will easily use is again!*DISCLAIMER. Individual results may vary.

Pine Point Mine – "This was our tar sands"
Lloyd Norn & Tom Unka
Near the community of Fort Resolution, there was once a mining community called Pine Point. With a population of 2,000, Pine Point had a hockey arena, a golf course, and a number of commercial enterprises, like a grocery store and a hotel. The Pine Point mine extracted lead and zinc and other minerals from the area from the mid-1960s until 1989. At the mine's peak, only 17% of the work force was hired locally, the rest coming from across Canada and the world to work the mines at Pine Point. Today, the Pine Point is gone, leaving a series of roads, pits and unremediated tailings ponds behind. Lloyd Norn and Tom Unka, who both live and work in the area, share some of their memories and thoughts of Pine Point.
Lloyd Norn
"There was a double impact on the people of Fort Resolution. Ice conditions around the dam changed the caribou migration route away from the community. They also lost the fish in the river. Formerly this was a big inconnu spawning area. Also the run off from the tailings ponds areas entered the lakes. The shore line closest to the mine was a whitefish spawning ground. This was the most valuable fish that the people had. After the mine the numbers of fish declined as did the quality of fish."
"The only thing that the mine areas are good for now are training people to go to the moon. There's nothing living there. The food chain of the area was broken long ago […] You won't see much mice or rabbits. As a result you won't see many fur bearers. There are some beavers there now, but not many lynx, marten, or others. There is the occasional wolf or bear – they are always around. A few moose too but it's not the same. The place looks awful. Like a desert. "
"I don't think that money is going to help. Monetary compensation won't help anything. Unless its channeled into training or some positive program. I would suggest just letting the land heal by itself [or] they could back fill the drainage trenches they cut to dewater the area. They couldn't refill the pits but they could fence them and cover the tailings with more soil so that it doesn't blow around. They could try and replant some grass and shrubs. [But] they have no legal obligation to fix what they broke. Bonds for reclamation are only recent. This was our tar sands, I guess."
Tom Unka
"This is all karst formation. The groundwater is quite close to the surface. In order for them to get to the ore, they had this huge de-watering program. What they did was they put these huge boreholes on the perimeter of these pits here. They had these electric pumps that were pumping water at an astronomical rate. […] They had these huge run-offs running back into the swamps that were flowing 4 feet deep, 12 feet wide, and just flowing like you'd find water running in the springtime. […] Some of the trap lines that the people from Fort Resolution were using, one of them being my father, he had to abandon half of his trap line because it was impacted by the dewatering program from this pit right here. There were other people that were affected. They had to move elsewhere, because of our dewatering program was flooding vast areas of land. Trees were dying, beavers were moving in. The whole area was starting to change at a real rapid pace. It really impacted some of the people that were using that area."
"There was a lot of activities. In this pit alone there would be drills, electric shovels. There would be 20 trucks lined up. The noise was just phenomenal. I'm sure it impacted the animals in the immediate area. It was crazy the development that went on. Everyday they were blasting. There were 10 or 12 pits that were operating on a daily basis. To extract the ore they were blasting every day."
"I'm sure there is a lot of impact to the animal movements. Sure a lot of the habitats were flooded and so on and so forth. But there was never any studies about these animals that were impacted. Nor the people, how they impacted the land users. That was never explored. So the extent of the impacts would be hard to say right now. I know that the moose had moved out of the area because of the development. And I'm sure the caribou, there's caribou to the west of us, the woodland caribou, a threatened species."
"This area has been impacted for a number of years, and it's only now reverting back to its natural state, as much as that is possible with all the rocks that were moved. Some of the stuff on the surface, the vegetation that's coming back. The bumps are starting to stabilize. With that happening, and further development in the air again, there's a lot of concerns with the land users and the people that naturally use the area and travel through the area."

Batman: Arkham City
When we're moving across the Arkham cityscape, the game engine has to stream in new areas every so often, and that difficult task is partially CPU-bound. You can see the spikes in all of the frame time plots that come at semi-regular intervals, and you'll notice that the spikes tend to be shorter on the faster processors.
The FPS average and our 99th percentile frame time metric agree: in this tough test filled with slowdowns, the FX-8350 outperforms the prior champ from the green team, the Phenom II X4 980. The 99th percentile result tells the story: the FX-8350 delivers 99% of the frames in this test run in under 25 milliseconds, equivalent to 40 FPS.
The FX-8350's latency curve looks quite decent, too, with a smooth and not-too-large ramp upward in the last few percentage points worth of frames.
The occasional spikes throughout the test run mean that all of the CPUs spend a little time beyond our 50-millisecond threshold, but the FX-8350 only burns 70 milliseconds working on long-latency frames during our entire 90-second test period. That's just a few momentary hitches, and it's less than half the time the FX-8150 spends beyond the same threshold. Still, competing solutions like the Core i5-3470 and i5-3570K reduce those hitches to nearly nothing.

Brands playing 'conversational' guarantee matches
Mumbai: Last month, Nielsen reported that Nike "ambushed" its way into the World Cup conversation by producing a popular soccer-themed ad that spread virally across the online community. The company's efforts in the days and weeks leading up to the World Cup pushed its competitor and official tournament partner Adidas into the background of online conversations.
Since the start of the opening kickoff, though, Adidas has reasserted itself at the top of World Cup brand dialogue. When looking at the top 10 official sponsors and their major competitors, a follow-up study by NM Incite, a Nielsen McKinsey Company, found that in the first two weeks of the tournament Adidas overtook Nike as the top brand. Adidas buzz accounted for 25.1% share of World Cup buzz online compared to 14.4% before the event. Nike, meanwhile, dropped from 30.2% to 19.4%.
Part of Adidas' increased buzz levels were due to discussions around the controversial official ball of the World Cup – the Jabulani. For the week ending the 13th June, which included the first three days of the tournament, the ball accounted for 8% of all English-language messages related to the World Cup.
"Half the game in buzz is 'fanning the flames,'" said Pete Blackshaw, executive vice president of digital strategy at Nielsen. "The Adidas football Facebook page, for instance, is now up to over a million fans and they are dropping new content several times a day, all while the average post is generating upwards of 100 comments. At the end of the day, brands need to keep the buzz ball in the air as long as possible – sponsored or otherwise."
Budweiser, too, overcame a pre-tournament ambush from Carlsberg to assert itself as the most highly buzzed beer brand tied to the World Cup. Buzz share for the official beer of the World Cup climbed to 4.9% as it overtook Carlsberg, whose share fell to 2.4%.
Other official sponsors who enjoyed a noticeable increase in World Cup buzz included Hyundai/Kia (from 2.4% to 4.7%) and McDonald's (2.8% to 4.2%). The overall share of buzz for the 10 official World Cup partners/sponsors increased from 52% to 66% since the start of the tournament.
"Sponsorship still matters, but it's far from a 'conversational' guarantee," added Blackshaw. "For big events like the World Cup and Olympics, you can always expect a modest 'echo effect' from any level of paid or sponsorship investment, but that's just the foot in the door. The rest really depends on variables like timing, creativity, controversy, and a combination of brand readiness and agility."
The NM Incite follow-up study compared the share of online buzz between World Cup sponsors and their major competitors in relation to the World Cup in the run up to the event (month-long period ending June 6th) and during the first two weeks of the tournament (11th -25th June). English language World Cup-related messages on blogs, message boards, groups, video and image sites – including Flickr, YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter – were monitored for the study.


text: I can't believe I have finally found a place where someone might understand what our family is going through. Our daughter is almost 4 and has been different from day one. She screamed so hard and long in the hospital after she was born that the nurses didn't know what to do. She screamed (supposedly "colic") for pretty much her whole first year. It was miserable. She has always been aggressive and mean to other kids. My brother does not speak to me anymore because she hit his daughter over the head with a toy and taunted her verbally at the ripe old age of just turning two. We recently visited my husbands family, and his sister's family left early because their daughter was scared of ours by the end of the weekend. She is about to get kicked out of preschool for being aggressive to other kids. She'll hit or scratch often just out of the blue or because she just decides she doesn't like a certain child. She'll often just walk up to random people in public and hit them. (which has almost gotten my us in big trouble) I hate to say it, but around the house she is just a jerk. She goes out of her way to do things that are the opposite of what she is supposed to do. Anything you ask of her, she will automatically say "no, I will never do (whatever it is)." If she asks for something and I even say that we'll do it in a few minutes she'll call me a "dummyhead", or tell me she is going to hit or scratch me (and often does), or just freak out. Back when she napped, she'd wake up from her naps and scream for literally hours for no apparent reason. When we first started doing time outs with her, she'd rage for 1-2 hours, pee on her bed, yell, scream, throw things, etc. (We resorted to time outs for when she lashed out physically at one of us). We also have a daughter who is 1, who lives her life with the background of her sister yelling and screaming and whining. We walk on eggshells not knowing what will set her off. The other day I got so frustrated over her freaking out that we all had to share the remainder of the milk that tears started rolling down my face, wondering why we can't ever just be happy and have fun, why it has to be so hard. Then later in the day she started following me around the house saying "Mommy, cry for real". When I asked her why, she said "because I *love* it!". A few months ago when she was sick she said to me "Why am I usually mean to mommy but I am being nice today". What's up with that?!? She is an extremely verbal and intelligent kid, but has never been very affectionate. So, my main question is where do we go for help? We went to a psychologist, who suggested ODD or Asberger's, but was really not very helpful. Most people just blame us for being bad parents, but they have no idea how hard and exhausting it is, and nothing ever really works, anyway. Thanks for any advice you can offer!!

Mike frowned, considering the best way to deal with Crandall's sudden shift in obsessions. Crandall needed to do this – to train and practice – but even Blood Hunters had limits and sore muscles could slow down anyone, except the vampire.
"That display said three miles," Mike said, attempting to sound casual. "How long have you been running?"
"You reset it, so I don't know. What difference–"
"Have you run at all before tonight?"
"No," Crandall said. His throat bobbed, chasing mouthfuls of water.
"You're going to be hurting in the morning."
"I heal fast," Crandall said. "You keep bugging me to do more."
Mike shook his head.
"We can talk at home." Crandall stopped the machine, finished the water, and then threw the empty bottle at Mike. "I assume that's why you're here. You're horny."
"No, I–"
"No?" Crandall stepped gingerly from the machine, his speckled hazel eyes more green than brown in the glaring overhead lights.
"Okay, yes. I mean… No, Crandall, look man, I appreciate you throwing yourself into this training, but you have to respect your limits too."
Crandall walked past. He moved like he was tired, but he eyed the weight machines in the center of the room. His pace slowed momentarily before he strode through the hallway towards the back office. Mike watched him go, half of his thoughts occupied with convincing him not to blow out his heart in one night's workout and the rest reminding him that Crandall would need a helluva massage by morning and he knew just the person to do that.
Mike stopped at the front desk to dig through drawers of supplies and other junk. He found two energy bars from some company he'd never heard of tucked in the back of one. The dojo didn't sell nutritional supplements, but at least once a month a determined salesman, who believed one bite would change their minds, would stop by and leave samples.
Dragon's rumbling, fatherly voice drifted from the office as Mike approached. He slowed, listening. Dragon spoke of a program he designed for hunters to train quickly but safely. Dragon had a way of getting through to the youth that wanted too much too fast. Mike peeked in, wary but curious. Crandall stared at the corner, leaning back in his chair and sipping from a fresh bottle of water. His feet propped up on the desk, he looked relaxed if not for that vacant, stressed gaze that Mike knew too well.
"Here," Mike said. He tossed the bars in Crandall's lap.
Crandall jumped. As he feet left the desk, the chair slammed down to all four legs. "I'd rather pizza," Crandall snarled, shooting a death glare at Mike. He frowned at the individually-wrapped bars, reading their nutritional data as if he cared what a label said.
"If you'll trust me to know what's best, I'll keep you on a schedule," Dragon said, ignoring the interruption.
"Should I?" Crandall asked. He wiped sweat from his face with a small white towel and picked up the second energy bar, its label intensely interesting.
"I've been doing this since before you were born."
Crandall narrowed his eyes, studying Dragon. Dragon's hairline crept back into a Draculan widow's peak, and over the past decade his stomach started defining him as middle-aged, but the lines around his eyes and a depth of experience in those brown orbs exposed more years than the rest of his body put together.
"Show up to every lesson this time." Dragon exuded calm. He'd not been bothered by Crandall blowing off his scheduled practices over the past month. He'd seen enough new hunters to know the denial that came with being thrust into a storybook mythos of extreme violence.
Crandall dropped his towel on the floor and tore open one of the nutrition bars. "Okay," he said. He sniffed the bar, wrinkled his nose, and then took a bite, chewing slowly. After swallowing the first bite, he devoured the snack quickly and then ripped into the second one without comment.
Satisfied, Dragon grabbed his keys and headed out to turn out lights and lock up the facility for the night.
"What about the band?" Mike asked.
"What about it?" he mumbled around a mouthful of chocolate-covered granola.
"You missed practice tonight."
Crandall coughed, choking on his snack. Mike slapped his back as he bent over, spitting a mangled mush of nutrients and carbs into a wastebasket beside the desk.
"Fucking shit," Crandall muttered. He wiped his mouth on the back of his hand and threw the rest of the bar in the garbage. "Shit, fuck, damn." He stood and wiped his hands on his pants. "Why didn't you call?"

Gender Differences in Coyote Movement and Resource Use in a Mid-sized City
Shannon Dunham, J.P. Holmes, and Jeremy E. Guinn
Environmental Science Department, United Tribes Technical College, Bismarck, ND 58504
In fall 2012, students and faculty at United Tribes Technical College began to observe increasing signs of coyotes (Canis latrans) on campus. These observations included hearing howls and yips while shooting hoops on the basketball court in the evening, seeing tracks in the mud next to the door of classroom buildings, and watching a coyote hunt in the field outside through the ecology classroom window while class was in session. This spurred one student, Andrew Montriel (Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa), into action. For his semester research project, he conducted a preliminary track study of coyote presence in public use areas around Bismarck and Mandan, North Dakota during spring 2013 and pushed for further study of urban coyotes in the area. His recommendations coincided with increasing coyote populations in state wildlife surveys (Tucker 2012) and led to the funding of a larger investigation that has become known as the UTTC Urban Coyote Study. Since then, more than 100 students have been involved in some aspect of the study and data has been incorporated into Problem-based Learning modules (AIHEC WIDER grant) at the college (NIH INBRE NARCH and NSF TCUP grant) and K-12 level (NSF RET grant), integrating research into the curriculum of several degree programs.

I love this post by the developer of an iPhone app called Runkeeper: "The power of social." So, Runkeeper tracks your runs, hikes, bike rides, etc., and records not only a map of your route to view later, but also your performance. The iPhone sends the data of your workout to your account on the Runkeeper website.
While the app is still in its early stages, its developers are adding new features, including "social" ones where you can share your workout stats and maps with all other Runkeeper users or just your friends who also use the app.
Runkeeper developer Jason Jacobs explained in his blog post how this can make you fitter and a better athlete. He describes taking Runkeeper out on a run and for the first time sharing his results:
"The whole time I was running, all I could think about was all of you seeing my results and wanting to put in a good showing. Whether 'all of you' is one person or millions of people that are actually seeing these results isn't so important. What is important is that, because I knew I would be making this data public, it lit a fire under my butt to push myself harder! This is exactly the feeling we are trying to harness — using the power of social to motivate the individual to train harder.
Most amateur athletes, including those of us who do it just to stay fit and not so much to compete, know how hard it is to keep up the training routine and schedule without some social pressure, like a running buddy who you don't want to let down. Digital social media also can make you a fitter, more disciplined athlete!
