PROVIDENCE, R.I. – 'Do we still call you Jumbo Joe?' Bruins prospect Joe Colborne was asked after the media scrum scattered following his pro hockey debut at Dunkin' Donuts Center tonight.
"It's up to you guys," the 6-foot-5, 215-pound center said as he headed back into the Providence Bruins' dressing room to bask in the glory of the club's victory that he sparked with a pair of assists.
When Colborne was Boston's first-round pick in 2008 he let slip that he shared a nickname with former Bruins center Joe Thornton. He's worked for two years at Denver University to get even bigger. In his first game as a pro, Colborne came up huge for the P-Bruins in their 3-1 victory over Worcester, as were fellow debuting blue-chippers Max Sauve (2 goals) and Steve Kampfer.
"I had quite a bit of nerves there in warm-ups and the first shift," said Colborne, just a few weeks removed from his collegiate career. "But once you get the first check in and you kind of get into the game and you kind of go back to what I've been doing my whole life. It was everything I thought it would be, and getting the win made it that much nicer."
Colborne, who started the night centering a line with Jeff LoVecchio and Mikko Lehtonen, threw a check on his first shift. And then on his first power play he helped set up Sauve's first goal of the night. Sauve tipped home Jeff Penner's shot to get the P-Bruins into the lead. With Providence ahead, 2-1, in the third, Colborne again set up Sauve, this time with a direct feed from the left wing to the middle for a streaking Sauve.
"He made me look pretty good out there. I was just feeding him passes and letting him do that," Colborne joked.
All kidding aside, "Jumbo Joe" made a big impression on Providence coach Rob Murray.
"Joe played well. I thought he probably played his best hockey in the third period," said the bench boss. "He won some puck battles on the wall. The creativity's going to be there with him, but it's the little intangibles that you often here (coach) Claude (Julien) talk about in Boston, about winning pucks on the wall and getting pucks in and out, and the compete level. And I thought it was there for him tonight for sure."
Savue's English might not be pro-caliber yet, but his patented speed was again on display. He started the night on Zach Hamill's left wing with Jordan Knackstedt completing the trio. Sauve, who showed flashes of his potential during the Boston Bruins' exhibition schedule – even scoring a goal – was flying again in his first game with the P-Bruins.
"He showed some real nice skill on both (goals) really," said Murray of Sauve. "His breakaway speed to get away on the second goal and the nice hands on the tip on the first goal."
Although he admitted to nerves, Sauve said the experience with Boston last fall was a help in getting him ready to dive back into pro hockey.
"A little bit. I know the game and I know, a little bit, the system," he said.
Acquired just a few days before the NHL trade deadline last month, Kampfer hadn't had the luxury of participating in any activities – development camps or exhibitions – with the Boston organization. So he really wanted to impress and did everything asked of him.
"He was really good. … What I liked, he stepped up twice tonight and hit a guy on the rush and hit him hard," Murray said. "But just hit battle level down low was excellent. And his strength on the puck. Even on the power play, he made some nice crisp plays across the blue line."
As one would expect, Kampfer was also nervous. But paired with Penner, he was able to settle down and keep his game simple. He played in all situations like Colborne and Sauve, and quickly learned that he was no longer playing for the University of Michigan.
"I think the guys are a lot stronger than they were in college," he said. "That was something that I noticed. You go into the corner, and I'm used to pushing the guy off the puck. And these guys are big men, and going into the corner you've got to be a lot stronger and that's something I've got to work on."
In addition to being a former Wolverine, the 5-foot-11, 197-pound Kampfer bears a striking resemblance to current Boston backliner Matt Hunwick, a collegiate teammate from a few years ago. Kampfer said that it's a no-brainer for him to emulate Hunwick.
"We're the same size, same build," said Kampfer. "I'd say he's kind of stronger and faster than I am. He skates like a gazelle out there. It's something that you always look up to a player like him, same size and speed."
It was only one night, one game. As Colborne pointed out, it's easy to feel great on Friday night, but he and his teammates will know better what the pro game is like Sunday after playing a third game in three days. But with that first game under their belts, Colborne, Sauve and Kampfer can now look ahead to even bigger accomplishments.
*The P-Bruins have also been getting contributions from a couple college free agents they recently signed to ATOs. Forward Devin Timberlake, fresh off of four years at Brown, scored a goal and was a plus-1. He now has two goals in two games. Brian Roloff, just signed out of Vermont Friday, notched an assist and posted a plus-1 rating in his pro debut. Both players could earn consideration for a future with the Bruins if they play well, according to assistant general manager Don Sweeney.
*The news isn't good for goaltender Kevin Regan, who last summer underwent hip surgery. He has been shut down for the rest of this season because of an injury to his other hip. The South Boston native might have to undergo yet another surgery. He is scheduled to be a restricted free agent again this summer.

How do you motivate your children?
how do you motivate your kids?
in school work ?
chores ?
Well, I get a whip and a cupcake...
ROTFL!!!!! Girl you always make me laugh!
Quoting mem82:
Well, I get a whip and a cupcake...
Well, it depends. No motivation is needed for school. My boys love to learn. In fact, I get more static when its time to be done for the day.
Chores....well, we teach that responsibility is part of life and if you don't take care of your things, you won't have them anymore. If it gets too bad, we will temporarily confiscate toys to demonstrate the concept. That usually does the trick.
Overall behavior, is based on a reward/consequence system. We've learned that giving rewards (proportionately) and taking away privileges (again, proportionately) works the best for us. We're trying to instill that our choices are what directly impact the outcome.
We are a family and we work together. We strive for teamwork in all things. House and school is a cooperative effort. I work to offer my children choices. You can pick up your room and keep your tablet privelege or not pick up your room and loose the tablet for a day, you decide. I try my best to not control my children. They make the choices and live with the consequesnces.
Choices have consequences in our house. My oldest son decided not to do his chore (laundry) I did everyone else's laundry, but his just sat there. One morning he had no pants. He did the laundry that very day (hmmmm wonder why?) The "toy fairy" (they know it's me) comes in at night and everything they haven't put away goes into her box, they get them back in a week. I got tired of stepping on leggos =0
With school work, they have been choosing what to learn so they have been excited to do it. Every once in a very great while (when we were doing k12 and work was like pulling teeth) I would threaten them with going to the brick and mortar,( my oldest still tells people how much he hates that school every time we drive past it!) Goodness in our house that goes over as well as lets walk over hot coals! HAHA! They really snap to it!
Free Time begins when chores are done.
School work? Bribery works well and I'm certainly not above it.
Chores? Allowance. DD11 has an allowance and while it isn't directly tied to chores, she knows that if her chores (minimal as it is) aren't done, her allowance will dwindle (she gets a base allowance every month; she also has the opportunity to earn extra by doing "hated" chores - chores that we all hate doing, but must be done... like scooping dog poop left by our awesome 110 lb German Shepherd, lol). Chores are never really a hassle here though - she is a very "happy helper" around the house. Puberty is hitting and her overall attitude isn't quite as cheerful, but she still doesn't complain. Lol.
I am a Home Schooling, Vaccinating, Non spanking, Nightmare Cuddling, Dessert Giving, Bedtime Kissing, Book Reading, Stay at Home Mom. I believe in the benefit of organized after school activities and nosy, involved parents. I believe in spoiling my children. I believe that I have seen the village and I do not want it anywhere near my children. Now for the controversial stuff: we have traditional gender roles, we're Catholic, I'm Libertarian, he's Republican, we're both conservative, and we own guns (now there's no need to ask, lol). Aimee
Every month we all work on a life skill. This month it is intrinsic motivation. Last month it was trust. I randomly help them with their chores and they return the favor. I talk to them about the value of hard work. How it is not fair for one person to do all the work. We have two very important sayings around here. Attitude is everything and families work together. I also take karate with my boys. It is great for motivation and self discipline. I look for ways to work these they love into things they are not crazy about. My boys love learning and are full of questions. I follow their interests and know things will get covered in time. I also give them options in chores and school work. I ask for their input and welcome their ideas to do things differently. I never tell them because I told you to. I explain why I do things a certain way and if things come up that are not easy to explain why I simply tell them they need to trust. I also tell them I will always have their best interest at heart. My greatest way I motivate my children is by modeling correct behavior. I love laying things around like books and activities that sparks their imagination. Every morning we all write 7 daily goals we wish to accomplish.
Send her this way, please??! She could probably teach a few of my kids how she does it then. lol

Weeeeelllll... This week is a good example of what happens when chores don't get done...
My daughter is in charge of doing dishes. I will NOT do them for her, so they have been sitting in the sink since Monday (driving me absolutely bonkers). She keeps *promising* me that she'll do them in the morning...and doesn't... So last night when I went to make dinner, I had nothing to make dinner with! I told her since her friend was over (we baby sit her after school til her mom gets home from work throughoutthe week) that I'll wash this one pan and asked when she'd get the rest done. Her response, "Tomorrow night." WRONG. I busted out laughing and told her to go scrub toilets. She through a huge fit and I added on scrubbing floors. She asked what she did to get in trouble. My response when I stopped laughing again, "Not doing your chores when you're supposed to and a really really dumb answer. But since you really apparently didn't know, I'll give you two choices. Either scrub toilets and floors, or starve until TOMORROW NIGHT after you do the dishes." She picked the toilets and floors. Since I was still working on dinner she had to wait to do the floors, and threw a huge fit about not getting to do the floors first, so she got scrubbing walls added on too.
My neighbor came home and pickedu p her daughter and after she tucked her in called and asked if she could come and talk for a little bit about something that was bugging her (it was around 10) and I said of course. Before she got to my kitchen, her daughter came running over and throwing a fit that she left. My neighbor tried to get her to go back but the whining got worse so I told her, either go home where it's cozy and warm, your mom will be back in less than 5 minutes, or you can sit in my freezing basement and fold socks. She starts throwing a massive fit begging her mom not to make her do it, and I butt in again with, " You know what just happened to Jamie and I'm sure she'd LOVE to have someone help her with the floors and I'm sure your mom would LOVE squeaky clean floors too." She shut up immediately and went to fold socks. ...I would've went home... but I have folded socks now so I won't complain! My neighbor loved it since it was the first time she did what she was told with no fighting back.
Usually, these sorts of ultimatums prevent me from having to motivate for chores...this was just an off week, and a reminder to how crazy Mom can be.
School - I usually don't have to motivate, except for reading and writing...and that is a battle I'm still working on.
With my little guy, no motivation needed for school. For chores, I threaten to decapitate "Guy." (I seriously never would do it but he doesn't know that....yet....) He gets his stuff done super fast lol.

In 2002, Hospitality West, LLC d/b/a Pizza Hut formed "Raising Dough for Kids," a non-profit organization with the goal of raising money via fundraising events in its restaurants to support local Western New York children's charities.
Lutheran Foster Grandparent Program was pleased to be the recipient of a generous donation of $3,000 to help with transportation costs for its foster grandparent volunteers.
"The escalating cost of fuel and maintaining a vehicle presents a hardship for many of our volunteers," Project Director Debbie Basile said. "These funds permitted FGP to purchase gas cards to be given to the foster grandparents driving their own vehicles."

Foster grandparents who serve at Brocton Elementary School gather in front of their cars as recipients of gas cards from grant funds provided by Pizza Hut's " Raising Dough for Kids" campaign. Pictured from left to right are Henrietta Graziano, Phyllis Sprague and Deanna Betts.
The funds will support the wonderful work of foster grandparents serving in the counties of Chautauqua, Cattaraugus and Allegany. Foster grandparents work one-on-one with assigned children in their day care, Head Start or school settings to guide the students to become successful in school. They provide the extra set of hands to nurture and steer these students within the classroom.
Foster Grandparent Program is one of the three Senior Corps projects governed under the federal agency, the Corporation for National and Community Service. Lutheran has been the local sponsor since 1983. Anyone who is interested or knows someone who would be a positive role model in a child's life should consider calling FGP Project Coordinator Gwen Gatewood at 665-5354 for more information. Those who qualify may be eligible for a tax-free stipend, plus the rewards of helping a child be successful.

KIEV, Ukraine (AP) - Thousands of police are doing battle with some 20,000 anti-government protesters in the capital of Ukraine, as more than three months of protests reach a crisis point.
Police, armed with stun grenades and water cannons, attacked a large opposition camp in Kiev, dismantling some of the barricades on the perimeter of the camp and setting many of the protest tents on fire.
But the demonstrators fought back, armed with rocks, bats and firebombs and singing the country's national anthem.
Opposition leader Vitali Klitschko is urging the protesters to defend the camp. As fires burned around him, he told the crowd, "We will not go anywhere from here."
Earlier today, at least nine people were killed in street clashes. Protesters attacked police lines and set fires outside parliament, accusing the government of ignoring their demands once again.
As darkness fell, police vowed to bring order to the streets. They shut down subway stations in the capital.
The protests began in late November after President Viktor Yanukovych froze ties with the European Union, in exchange for a $15 billion bailout from Russia. Moscow later suspended the payments.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. – With three players finishing in double-figures the 24th ranked Anchorman of Rhode Island College (11-1, 2-1 Little East) handed men's basketball (4-8, 0-3 Little East) a 88-51 Little East Conference loss Saturday afternoon at The Murray Center.
Along with the a combined 26 points from starters Mike Akinrola and Tom DeCiantis, the Anchorman also used a strong defensive showing to limit the Beacons in Saturday's conference match-up. In the first half, RIC limited UMass Boston to just 28.6% (6-21) shooting from the field, while they were able capitalize on the other side of the court with their 54.2% shooting (13-24).
Akinrola finished 5-for-9 from the floor and 5-for-7 at the line. He also managed a game-high eight rebounds. DeCiantis was 4-for-7 from field, which included a pair of 3-pointers. AT the charity strip he went 1-for-2. Coming off the bench Chris Burton finished with 10 points on 3-of-7 shooting and 4-of-5 shooting at the line. He also matched the game-high eight boards, but did it in nearly half the time as his teammate, playing just 12 minutes in Saturday's game.
For UMass Boston it was Carl Joseph (Brockton, Mass.) who finished in double-figures with 13 points on 5-of-11 shooting from the field and 3-of-7 shooting at the line. Cody Edmond (Plaquemine, La.) dropped in eight points of his own, and recorded team-best five boards. Vinny DeLucia (Miami, Fla.) led the starting five with seven points, and also handed out three assists, while picking up three steals as well.
From the opening jump the nationally ranked Anchorman controlled the pace of Saturday's match-up with their first basket coming from 3-point range in the first minute of play. Rhode Island took advantage of every single one of their possessions and quickly jumped out to a double-digit lead by the midway point of the opening half.
They would continue that strong efficient play throughout the closing minutes of the first half and all of the second to secure their second conference win of the season.
Men's basketball returns to the Clark Athletic Center on Tuesday when they host Plymouth State University at 7:30 p.m.

Following some of the most tangibly feverish anticipation in movie history, The Hunger Games has finally been released this week.
Despite my ambivalent feelings going in, I really enjoyed the film. It's confidently directed, often gripping and occasionally awesome. But it isn't particularly original.
Although they're projected through a fresh prism, many of the concepts in The Hunger Games have already been explored in other movies and TV shows.
In today's blog, I'm going to look back at some of these and hopefully nudge some newly minted Hunger Games fans towards some of its most direct inspirations.
The first movie that must be mentioned is the 2000 Japanese cult classic Battle Royale. Hunger Games author Suzanne Collins was quite understandably accused by many of ripping-off this movie when her book was first published.
Set in a near future, it tells the story of a class of teenagers who are transported to an island and forced to fight each other to the death until only one remains, all in the name of societal calm. Sound familiar?
It bares striking resemblance to the central conceit in The Hunger Games, with the crucial difference that the kids in Battle Royale all knew each other before they got violent.
This allows the earlier film to delve more into teenage power heirarchies, although such concerns aren't entirely absent from The Hunger Games.
Battle Royale is also a much more viscerally violent film - all the participants have bombs attached to their necks to ensure obedience (which itself isn't a particularly original idea).
It's awesomely gruesome, and very much worth checking out as a counterpoint to the new film, which obviously skews a bit younger.
The second major touchstone for The Hunger Games is the 1987 Arnold Schwarzenegger film The Running Man, loosely based on the novel by Stephen King (writing as Richard Bachman).
This has Arnie forced to participate in a savage game show in the future where supposed bad guys (Arnie was framed, natch) face off against trained killers inside a massive, varied arena.
The Hunger Games most reminded me of this when it focused on the televised aspect of the ritual, and how the public lap up the violence as mainstream entertainment.
Strangely enough, the book of The Running Man kinda hews closer to The Hunger Games than the movie, in that the contest occurs on a national scale. The Running Man may feature some of Arnie's worst acting ever, but it remains a fun reminder of '80s action excess.
The titular contest in The Hunger Games takes place in a giant dome-covered forested area where there's nowhere to escape the cameras. This strongly evoked The Truman Show for me, especially in how even the most intimate moments were broadcast to millions.
Even more so than The Truman Show, The Hunger Games caused me to ponder the excesses of reality TV like Big Brother and televised competitions like American Idol and Survivor. It also speaks to the role professional sports play in society. This lends the film a sense of relevance missing from the oft-compared Twilight films.
What all these things I've mentioned lack of course is a teenage love triangle like the one at the centre of The Hunger Games, which beyond the fact that they were both young adult literary phenomenons, seems to be the root of all the Twilight comparions. I really liked how we weren't too pummelled with this subplot in the movie, but I appreciate how it is this aspect that speaks to many of the fans.
Overall, I don't consider The Hunger Games to be an overly derivative piece of work. It's got enough of it's own thing going on. And once a story or an idea is out in the world, it becomes part of the cultural vernacular. But it's fun tracking how these ideas are re-addressed.
Watch the trailer for The Hunger Games:
* Did you like The Hunger Games? Did you find it derivative? What other inspirations did you spot?

So last night a drum circle seems to have formed, despite the riot police busting the one from Saturday. It spread to literally hundreds of people dancing and singing and just having a great time. It really cheered me up after having the worst day over (two nosebleeds so serious that the EMT checked me out, CSS cancelling their signing after I waited for over an hour, wardrobe malfunctions, having infected sinuses and lungs, my most anticipated act that day playing for only a half hour and coming out 30 minutes late, my phone being stolen, being treated like cattle trying to leave after Rage, freaking out for over an hour trying to find my group because I couldn't contact my ride, etc).
But I went back to my tent after an hour or so. And good thing I did. A bunch of meatheads started burning the trash bins and toilet paper. Shameful.

WORLD renowned experts have begun a major survey aimed at unlocking the secrets of the Capital's First World War trenches.
The network of trenches at Dreghorn Woods, Colinton, which will cost an estimated £10,000 to save, were almost forgotten and had been left to become overgrown by trees. In December, Edinburgh City Council awarded £3500 to enable survey work to take place following months of campaigning by writer and historian Lynne Gladstone-Millar and the Evening News, calling for the trenches to be preserved.

It's not a given that the operation of a new Arena would make money. In fact, a FC / Ratner spokesman came out a few weeks ago saying their figures show the City would still be funding $119 Million for Arena operations.

Millions fall into health care coverage gap
JAZELLE HUNT | 10/30/2013, 4:54 p.m.
WASHINGTON – Every day Richard Green, 67, wakes up in pain. He creeps over to the edge of the bed and sets his feet down, bracing himself for the day ahead. First are the pangs of putting each leg into his slacks. Then, he undergoes the torment of sliding each arm into his shirt. Even lacing his shoes, something he has done since childhood, is a test of strength. Often he'll take ibuprofen before willing his knees and back to lower his body into the car and withstand the painful drive to work as an administrative temp worker.
About seven years ago, Green was diagnosed with degenerative disc disease, the breakdown, bulging or tearing in the spine's flexible cartilage discs, as well as the narrowing of the spinal canal that houses the spinal cord. The worn discs put pressure on the spinal cord and surrounding nerves, which leads to chronic pain and nerve damage.
"You learn to cope," he explained. "You just have to move; it's worse if you don't. By the end of the day, I'm completely exhausted from coping with the pain. When I get home I just go to bed. Sleep becomes your only relief."
And that's only if his sleep apnea and GERD (a severe form of acid reflux) are tolerable enough to let him get a good night's rest. Fortunately, his lifelong asthma and heart condition rarely give him any trouble.
Green, who is uninsured and ineligible for Medicaid, can afford neither a doctor's visit nor the resulting treatments or prescriptions. According to his home state of Georgia, his monthly income – $850 by his account, and inexplicably around $2,000 by theirs – is enough to afford health care without the assistance of Medicaid, the federal insurance program for low-income families and individuals.
Green is one of 48 million Americans currently living without insurance in the United States, according to the Census Bureau. Of those, 7 million are non-elderly African Americans. Green's age qualifies him for Medicare, though he doesn't have it yet – if he opts in next year, he expects to pay a $150 annual deductible, plus incidental charges.
Without the benefit of Medicaid or Medicare, he will have to pay an insurance company directly for medical coverage. With the start of open enrollment for health insurance exchanges under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Green might be able to get insured and access the care he needs.
Within the first year of the Affordable Care Act's enforcement, 14 million previously uninsured Americans are expected to enroll.
At the time of his diagnosis, Green was insured through his wife's employment. Insurance paid for a $100,000 surgery, recovery and medication, and he was seeing a neurologist. Even with the insurance though, his health care costs began to climb.
"Cost of care became such an issue I couldn't continue [treatment]. It was an insurance problem, because you have out-of-pocket costs that come along with it," he explained.
When his wife's job downsized, his access to health care evaporated. And that's why he is excited about President Obama's signature health care plan.

Posts tagged 'Qualified Leads'
Do You Know How To Reach Your Target Audience?
As business owners adjust their modus operandi in response to the current unprecedented economic downturn, inbound marketing will rise to the top of their priority list. If marketing to the disinterested is counterproductive in a booming economy then it's an even greater waste of time and money today.
The days of "inviting everyone to the party" are behind us. Mass marketing is dead. It's time to welcome the era of advocacy marketing where you position yourself/your company as a trusted partner to customers and prospective customers. By developing and sharing relevant information and guidance you will attract more qualified inquiries. Build it and they will come. Even if the prospect isn't ready to purchase, they're likely to recommend your product or service to a friend since you have effectively presented value.
The concept of inbound marketing is fairly new and can be comprised of many different mechanisms such as landing pages, SEO, social networks, and blogging. There are services out there like HubSpot which aggregates analytics from the various mechanisms, however; it's not a silver bullet. Content is still king and you are responsible for developing a consistent message across all media.
New Marketing Labs announced on Tuesday that it acquired the Inbound Marketing Summit which should prove to be a very worthwhile event this year. You'll have the opportunity to hear Chris Brogan, David Meerman Scott and Paul Gillin share the latest strategies, tools and best practices to utilize new marketing methods to grow your business.
Bottom Line: Stop blasting to the masses. Perfect your message (A/B and multivariate testing across all media). Build community among customers and empower them to be evangelists.

Have you ever eaten wasabi? That dainty green blob on your sushi plate may look pretty tame, but take a taste--or even a whiff--and you'll find that little dollop packs a powerful punch to your senses!
Jesus also looks pretty innocuous at first glance. He's the Good Shepherd, after all, the Prince of Peace. "Love your neighbor," he says. "Forgive others." If we take a closer look at those red-lettered words, however, we'll find that some of the most tame and sappy-sounding things Jesus said actually pack the most punch.
Wasabi Gospel brings seven well-known gospel passages to life, unpacking their real significance and exploring what life would really look like if we lived out those seemingly-subtle commands of Christ. Jesus' words were radical for his audience and still are for us today, giving us a metaphorical punch to the gut and challenging us to the depths of our souls to change the way we live, love, and look at the world.

Virginia Tech
Duality of stakeholders — miners affected by mining operations — helps inform discussion
Mountaintop mining is the practice of using huge machines to remove layers of soil and rock to reach thin seams of coal.
It is an efficient way to reach the high-thermal value, low-impurity coal in the central Appalachian range, which accounts for one-fifth of the nation's coal, and it is a resource for American energy independence.
But it has disadvantages - mountaintops are deposited into valleys, trees and habitats are destroyed, chemical drainage may pollute streams, and many find it ugly.
Taking conflicts into account - such as the benefits of steady jobs and tax revenue versus declining environments and resources - are essential to a deliberative discussion about mountaintop mining, according to John Craynon, project director of the Appalachian Research Initiative for Environmental Science with the Virginia Center for Coal and Energy Research at Virginia Tech.
"Take advantage of the duality of stakeholders, such as a member of a mining-impacted community who is an employee of a mining operation," Craynon said. "The perspective gained via one role might inform decisions made in another."
Virginia Tech researchers writing for an upcoming issue of Resources Policy say federal and state government and mining industry efforts to increase the community's voice in decision- making have not succeeded in incorporating stakeholders' values and concerns.
A public ecology approach can give the stakeholders - including members of the coal mining industry, federal and state agencies and courts, labor unions, environmental and community advocacy groups, land holding companies, private citizens, and researchers - a new focus, according to co-authors Craynon; Emily Sarver, an assistant professor in the College of Engineering's Department of Mining and Minerals Engineering; and David P. Robertson, associate director of the College of Natural Resources and Environment's Center for Leadership in Global Sustainability in Virginia Tech's National Capital Region.
"To put such new ideas into practice, there is need for more than just research. We have to teach the next generation of engineers, scientists, and policy makers, and reach out to the stakeholders in this debate," Sarver said.
Public ecology is the nexus of science, engineering, public policy and interest, citizen views and values, market forces, and environmental protection statutes and regulations. Through open discussion, it ensures ecological systems continue to function while commerce continues.
The researchers say issues of environment and economy are valued differently based on proximity. Problems arise because environmental and social impacts of mining are largely local, but decision-making tends to be driven by state, federal, or even global energy goals and regulations.
Defining the public is important, the researchers say.
"The public includes the CEO and the machine operator, both of whom grew up locally and fished the streams and now support their families by working for the mining company," Craynon said. "People with complex motivations have the best chance of succeeding in understanding and accommodating stakeholders' significant differences in values and interests."
The researchers' recommendations for action depend upon broad participation and transparency. But they are optimistic that attempts by some groups - including the U.S. coal industry - to increase public participation may signify a turn for the better.
"The recent decision by Patriot Coal to stop mountaintop mining may exemplify a shift in industry response," Robertson said.
But questions remain, the largest being whether interested stakeholders are willing to participate in deliberative processes, many of which require compromise in order to find a common and higher ground.
The U.S. may also need to fundamentally restructure regulatory programs in order to bring all the interested parties to the table with a meaningful role. Craynon, Sarver, and Robertson point to the Chesapeake Bay clean up as a model program where public ecology and broad participation has overcome significant controversy and overlapping regulatory programs.
"The resolution of complex issues such as mountaintop mining may require radical boldness to break through years of distrust and allow for the adoption of a more public ecology," the article concludes. "Through the cooperation of all parties, mountaintop coal mining may be modified so that better social, environmental and economic goals can be achieved and the interests of all affected parties can be adequately considered."

Even when the Miami Dolphins intercepted Tom Brady, they made a costly mistake.
A blocking penalty on the runback cost Miami points, and several other lapses also hurt Sunday as the New England Patriots won 23-16 to clinch their fourth consecutive AFC East title.
A botched punt, roughing-the-punter penalty and fumble by Miami resulted in 17 New England points. The blocking penalty negated a touchdown on the interception return by Reshad Jones.
In addition, Ryan Tannehill twice missed an open receiver deep.
"It's tough to beat a good team like New England with missed opportunities," guard Richie Incognito said. "We're a team with no margin for error. That's the story of the game — they made their plays, and we didn't."
The Dolphins (5-7) hurt their already slim playoff chances and lost to New England for the fifth consecutive time.
"Too many mistakes," coach Joe Philbin said. "To beat a good opponent in December, you have to play better."
The Patriots (9-3) extended their winning streak to six games and are assured of their 12th winning season in a row. Afterward they wore championship caps and T-shirts.
"It's good to be back in the postseason," coach Bill Belichick said.
Brady finished 24 for 40 for 238 yards, was sacked four times and even threw an interception. But with the Patriots nursing a 20-13 lead midway through the fourth quarter, he led a 16-play drive that ate up more than seven minutes and led to a field goal.
Brady was intercepted for the first time in 203 passes, and for only the fourth time this season. His passer rating was a season-low 74.8, and he had at least four passes dropped, including a throw to Wes Welker in the end zone.
"It's not supposed to be easy, and it wasn't easy today," Brady said.
The Patriots kept their play-calling conservative and finished with a season-low 321 yards. But when they took over at their 20 leading by a touchdown in the fourth period, they produced their best drive of the day.
The 77-yard drive included 12 running plays and set up Gostkowski's field goal with 1:10 left. Stevan Ridley carried 10 times for 46 to spark the drive.
"We pounded away on a great defense, and they finally gave in a little," Ridley said.
Trevor Scott led New England's stout defensive effort with two sacks, including one to force a fumble that set up a field goal.
Jerod Mayo sacked Tannehill on third down midway through the fourth quarter, forcing the Dolphins to settle for a field goal.
Welker tied Jerry Rice's NFL record by making at least 10 receptions for the 17th time. He had 12 catches for 103 yards and a score.
Tannehill went only 13 for 29 for 186 yards, and twice he failed to connect with an open Brian Hartline deep.
"We just didn't hit the shots that were there," Tannehill said. "I'm still kicking myself."
Tannehill was most effective running the ball. He finished two keepers with brazen acrobatic leaps, vaulting over the goal line to elude linebacker Rob Ninkovich on a 2-yard touchdown run.
"You've got to battle; you're playing a good team," Tannehill said. "It's a game of inches, and you've got to do everything you can to get as many inches as you can."
The botched punt on the Dolphins' opening series led to a New England touchdown. With the ball wet following a brief shower, punter Brandon Fields dropped a low snap and was tackled at his 12. The Patriots scored five players later on Ridley's 2-yard run.
The roughing-the-punter penalty on Miami's Jimmy Wilson gave the Patriots a first down deep in their territory, jump-starting a 75-yard drive that ended with Welker's 7-yard touchdown catch.
Jones made a one-handed interception and returned the ball 30 yards for a touchdown, but the score was negated by a penalty on Reggie Bush for an illegal block. New England then held, and Dan Carpenter kicked a 44-yard field goal.
Notes: Dolphins T Jake Long left the game in the first half with a left triceps injury. ... Patriots G Dan Connolly left in the first quarter with a back injury. ... Ridley rushed for 71 yards and has 1,010 this season. ... Dolphins reserve S Jonathon Amaya was inactive after being charged with battery Monday in a confrontation with a taxi driver.

College of DuPage President Robert L. Breuder has been named 2013 National Pacesetter of the Year by the National Council for Marketing & Public Relations.
The award recognizes a community college president or CEO who has demonstrated special leadership and support in marketing and public relations. Dr. Breuder, who was also named 2012 Pacesetter of the Year for NCMPR District 3 in November, was recognized at the NCMPR's national conference in Chicago.
Dr. Breuder's arrival at the College in 2009 brought about a renewed emphasis on marketing and communications. During his four-year tenure, he has created a senior management team position to oversee marketing, media relations and community relations, ensuring greater awareness of the College among the residents of District 502 and beyond.
"Over the past four years, we've made major footprints in the marketing area, stressing the critical importance of telling our story," he said. "The College recognizes that we must separate ourselves from the competition, getting the word out often and in every way that works."
Among Dr. Breuder's accomplishments is the complete redesign of the College's website, including a mobile version, allowing current and prospective students to more easily navigate key COD resources.
Additionally, Dr. Breuder oversaw the creation of "impact," the College's district-wide magazine; instituted a yearlong study of COD's customer services practices; and transitioned the institution from general advertising to creative direct marketing, Web marketing and social media.
Laurie Jorgensen, Director of Marketing and Creative Services, applauded Dr. Breuder's forward-thinking approach.
"As a marketer, it is a blessing to have such a phenomenal product to promote, and yet another to have the support of such a visionary leader," she said. "Dr. Breuder understands how critical marketing is to the success of College of DuPage now
and in the future."
In addition to his marketing efforts, Dr. Breuder's other milestones since 2009 include fostering the development of 50 new programs and certificates, as well as 21 program accreditations. He has overseen the development of innovative "3+1" partnerships with area universities that allow COD students to complete all work toward 13 bachelor degree programs on the COD campus. He has also stewarded the College through a massive $550 million construction and renovation process with an expected completion in 2014.
In addition to the National Pacesetter Award, the College earned a number of NCMPR awards, including: a Gold Paragon Award -- Newsletter (Impact magazine); a Silver Paragon Award -- Brochure/Flier (COD Viewbook); A Gold District 3 Medallion Award -- Newsletter (Impact magazine); a Gold District 3 Medallion Award -- Media Success Story (Force-on-Force Demo in Homeland Security Education Center); and a Silver District 3 Medallion Award -- Print Advertising Series ("Unexpected" campaign).
NCMPR's prestigious Paragon Awards recognize outstanding achievement in communications at community and technical colleges. It is the only national competition of its kind that exclusively honors excellence among marketing and PR professionals among the 1,600-plus two-year colleges in the U.S. These awards are based on demonstrated creativity, originality and unique approaches to problem-solving.
The District 3 Medallion Awards recognize outstanding achievement in communications at community and technical colleges in District 3 (Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin, Canadian province of Ontario). It's the only regional competition of its kind that honors excellence exclusively among marketing and PR professionals at two-year colleges.
Recently, College leaders have developed a plan to further enhance the College's marketing efforts and recently launched a branding study with Ohio-based Ologie.
The result will be an even stronger connection with parents, potential students, current students, donors and District 502 community members.
With more than 26,000 students, College of DuPage is the largest community college in Illinois and third largest of the state's public colleges and universities. Click here for a complete list of Significant Institutional Outcomes.

I heard Jerry Dulac say the same thing on the radio a few weeks back. Polamalu isn't the player he once was, but he is still an asset. He got fooled by Tom Brady. It happens. Years ago, Champ Bailey got faked out by Cedrick Wilson.
I think the Steelers may try to work out an extension with Troy, at a lower future salary, to decrease the cap hit this year. I think that would be the prudent move.

GoboLinux is a distribution which sports a different file system structure than 'ordinary' Linux distributions. In order to remain compatible with the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard, symbolic links are used to map the GoboLinux tree to standard UNIX directories. A post in the GoboLinux forums suggested that it might be better to turn the concept around: retain the FHS, and then use symbolic links to map the GoboLinux tree on top of it. This sparked some interesting discussion. Read on for more details.

He'll be happy that the directory is called /etc and not /Documents\ and\ Settings.
I thought it would be obvious before, but /settings is a lot better than /etc.
This whole discussion again sounds like: "I want Unix to be like windows because it so much more user friendly! (because I'm used to the windows way)"
I don't use Windows, and haven't in years. My work computer runs Ubunto 8.04, and my home computer runs Fedora 8. That doesn't mean there isn't a better way.

Oracle Hit Hard In Q3 As Software, Cloud, Hardware Sales Disappoint
Oracle's fiscal third quarter results had some investors fleeing for the exits, sending shares down more than 8 percent in the wake of the vendor's Q3 earnings announcement.
Oracle was expecting software and cloud revenue to grow 3 to 13 percent, but instead saw it drop 2 percent year over year. Hardware sales dropped 23 percent, compared to Oracle's expectation of flat to down 10 percent.
Despite the sub-par results, Oracle executives painted a rosy picture for the future. Oracle later this month will start shipping servers based on its new SPARC T5 microprocessor, and CEO Larry Ellison said this will help Oracle get back on track. "Next year will be a big growth year for our hardware business," he said on the earnings call.

Quality costs money! So does performance. But when you weigh the cost compared to the improvement, there's often a point of diminishing return. For example, can you really harness an extra 300 hp for what it would cost to make it?
Last month we provided you with an economical engine buildup that would satisfy most of us as a street-only performer. For less than $2,300 we showed you an engine package that produced a real-world 318 hp and 365 lb-ft of torque-great numbers for a solid street cruiser. And when you add in that the engine idled perfectly and created 17 inches of vacuum, who could ask for more? Well, there are those out there who wouldn't gripe at adding a few more ponies. So we decided to go back to Vrbancic Brother's Racing to see if we could up the ante without emptying our wallet.
What Bob and George proposed was a simple swap of the heads, intake, and rocker arms to see what the results would be. And it just so happened they had a set of Holley aluminum castings and a corresponding intake manifold sitting idle while they rebuilt one of their mule motors. This presented us with the perfect chance to see how much of a difference these simple upgrades would yield.
To set the stage, the heads on our "econo" 350 from last month were completely refurbished cast-iron models featuring 2.02-inch intake and 1.60-inch exhaust valves. The intake manifold was a standard dual-plane aluminum high rise, and the package included factory-style stamped-steel rocker arms. For the sake of keeping costs down, we limited it to those three items. (We could have changed the cam for a more aggressive design and probably picked up more power, but that would have meant taking the pan and timing cover off, which effectively would have added to the cost. If you were taking this build approach from the start, though, you could simply decide on a different cam and the cost would probably be the same.) All other factors such as timing, carb, and fuel used remained the same. That way we could zero in on just how much those extra ponies were realistically going to cost.
After an hour or so of removing the iron heads and swapping on the Holley castings, Holley intake and roller-tipped aluminum rocker arms, it was on to the DTS dyno for a testdrive.
Since the engine was basically in the same condition as when we signed off last month, it sparked to life with little effort. And after a valve readjustment, George put it through its paces for a handful of pulls. The result of our swap was an impressive 57 hp and 42 pounds of torque, giving us a bona fide 375-horse, 400-plus-lb-ft, 355-inch small-block complete for less than $3,000! (We figured this total by subtracting the cost of the heads and intake from the original package Wayne's sells for less than $1,800 and then adding in the price of the Holley parts, plus the carb and distributor.) And they say bargains are hard to find.

Mark Stoops gave his players an extra day off, adding Monday to the usual Sunday away from practice, following the team's loss to Alabama last Saturday.
Coming off a tough result - with a game against the top-ranked, two-time defending national champions concluding a brutal stretch of four straight games with top-20 opponents - conventional wisdom would dictate the Wildcats were chomping at the bit to get back on the field.
Yet, Kentucky has an open date on Saturday, meaning 12 days will pass before UK faces its next opponent on Thursday, Oct. 24 at Mississippi State. Faced with the prospect of a long and relatively uneventful buildup to the next game, the full practice week got under way on Tuesday, and the afternoon workout started a little slower than the coaches had expected.
Stoops and his staff took matters into their own hands, and injected some energy into the team themselves upon sensing the practice's sluggish start.
"Just an OK practice today," Stoops said. "I thought we were a little bit down here emotionally; physically, still beat up a little bit. Emotionally, maybe down a little bit. So just an average day. I thought we got ahead and started working a little bit on Mississippi State. That was good, get some looks for the coaches, get the players getting a little bit of an early start on Mississippi State, but I think we've still got a little work to do physically and emotionally getting back, getting our energy level back up again.
"Yesterday we came in and watched the tape, and we didn't practice. Today is the first practice out and they're not used to two days off. It just took a little while to get going. The energy wasn't what I would like it to be. We will gear that up as we get going here."
Having to provide energy to their younger players posed a challenge for the coaches, but the UK staff took the obstacle in its stride. After all, UK coaches "attack every day" with the same enthusiasm.
"We just tried to motivate them, try to create the energy out there for them," defensive coordinator D.J. Eliot said. "Coaching college football can be hard in a lot of ways, but you just keep plugging and just keep coming to work every day. You take the same approach that the players do, that you've got to get better every day as well. You just wake up in the morning and go to work, take it on with the right attitude."
"With ankles I hate to say that because things change with ankles," Stoops said. "People respond differently. I'll give you a little nugget every three or four days on that because that's what I think will be an indicator on that."
Stoops did confirm that while he will only give status updates on Jalen Whitlow's left ankle once every three or four days, the team will go into Mississippi State preparations as if the quarterback will be unavailable, at least for the time being.
"Not much different," Stoops said of Whitlow's status after confirming he thought the sophomore would be out for a few weeks on his weekly radio show Monday. "(With) those types of injuries we will know things about every three days or so. I'll give you a little bit update on it.
"I hate to say that because things change with ankles. People respond differently. I'll give you a little nugget every three or four days on that because that's what I think will be an indicator."
The injury news was a little better on the defensive side of the ball as junior defensive end Alvin "Bud" Dupree returned to practice on Tuesday. While the Preseason All-SEC selection isn't quite back to full-strength, his coordinator was encouraged by the progress of returning to the practice field.
"Bud got some reps, did some things," Eliot said. "He's moving around ... It's good to see him out there at practice, moving around. It's nice to have him out there."
In lieu of an unconventional schedule considering UK's next game is on a Thursday with 12 days between games instead of the traditional six on a normal week - or the typical bye week's 13 - Stoops laid out how his team will approach preparations for a trip to Mississippi State.
"We have to get back and be ready to go. That's our job this week. It's kind of in between a full off week and not. As you know, we play on Thursday so it's a little different than a complete bye week. We will be out here practicing this weekend."
And despite completing the toughest four-game stretch in school history Stoops isn't letting his team think they'll have any easier time next Thursday against another strong Southeastern Conference opponent.
"You watch this league and you go see Mississippi State, there's no drop off there," Stoops said. "That's a big, long, physical, good football team, and they are chomping at the bit to get a win too. For us we just have to worry about ourselves."

Freund is among 120 past and present players and coaches from the NFL and college ranks assisting at the annual MPA on the campus of Nicholls State University in Thibodaux, La.
"I'm really fired up to be a part of this camp. It is a unique opportunity to be around some of the game's best coaches and players," Freund said. "The Manning family is first class all the way and run a very prestigious camp.
"I'm excited and fortunate to be representing UND Football at the camp. I'm looking forward to working with the young campers and also gaining more knowledge about the quarterback position to bring back to the guys I'm coaching at UND."
Freund ended up being invited to participate at the camp thanks to a chance meeting with Archie Manning at the Minneapolis Airport just over a year ago. The two struck up a conversation about the quarterback position, a connection was made and the elder Manning got back in touch with Freund to invite the former UND signal caller to help out at this year's camp.
The staff emeritus at MPA includes former head coach Jon Gruden of the Super Bowl XXXVII Champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers, current NFL starting quarterbacks Matt Stafford (Detroit Lions) and Sam Bradford (St. Louis Rams) and 2012 Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel of Texas A&M.
The camp runs from July 11-14 and features a 10:1 camper to coach ratio. All positions are taught at the camp and both Peyton Manning and Eli Manning serve as senior associate directors along with their other brother Cooper. Archie Manning is the executive director of the camp that is celebrating its 18th year of existence.
Freund the rest of the UND coaching staff will open fall camp on Aug. 1 and continue preparations for a 2013 season that features seven home games at the Alerus Center. The opener is set for Thurs., Aug. 29 against Valparaiso.

CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) - Gov. Brian Sandoval says he'll support expanding Medicaid eligibility in Nevada as called for under the federal health care law.
Sandoval tells The Associated Press expanding coverage will add 78,000 residents to the state's Medicaid rolls, but save the state $16 million in mental health programs that otherwise would be paid for out of the state general fund.
The first-term Republican governor says while he opposed the health care law, his decision will help tens of thousands of people.
He adds that his budget will propose reducing taxes paid by small businesses to help them afford insurance coverage for their employees.
Sandoval made his decision Tuesday to commit to covering people up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level beginning in 2014.

I'm sure you've all read by now Mike's seemingly-facetious blog entry here.
You probably just skimmed over it, thinking it was innocent enough, but I saw through it, and the jig's up Mike, because I'm going to unveil your diabolical scheme right here, right now!
Diabolical Mike wrote:33. Converts CO2 to O2"
As anyone who knows their chemistry will tell you, CO2 converts to C+O2
So now you're wondering where the C went, right?
So did I, but when I opened up my test box, there was no soot, no graphite, and certainly no diamonds. So I started to wonder just what Mike could possibly mean.
Then it finally struck me - Mike is a diabolical evil genius. The "CO2 to O2" statement was a thinly veiled guise for his master plan because, like all evil geniuses, Mike had to surreptitiously reveal his plan in advance, in order to feel more superior.
Mike is using MikeOS to take away C+
Without which there will be no C++
And MikeOS, with its assembly-coded sneakiness, will be the only operating system left.
Bill Gates and Steve Jobszniac will watch in horror as their empires disappear overnight, leaving nothing but MikeOS.
Then Mike will unleash his final masterpiece - the £400 non-GPL'd Service Pack 1 - an optional upgrade, required by anyone who wants to continue to use their computer.
And Mike Will Rule The World
I bet you're all thinking this is just some paranoid delusion, but you're all wrong. It was all revealed to me by Alan Turing, who came to me in a vision, after I knocked my tin-foil helmet off, when I banged my head on the cupboard door.

NASHVILLE -- Yunel Escobar, we hardly knew ye.
The Marlins traded the shortstop to the Tampa Bay Rays for minor league middle infielder Derek Dietrich not long after obtaining him in their 12-player trade with Toronto.
Dietrich, who was listed by Baseball America as the Rays' ninth-best prospect, is a former second-round pick who hit .271 last season at Double A. The 23-year-old product of Georgia Tech has played both second base and shortstop, and can also play third.
The Marlins, who are set at shortstop with Escobar's former Toronto teammate -- Adeiny Hechavarria -- have been shopping Escobar for weeks. But they made up their minds to trade him when Escobar waffled on his desire to play third base, the position the Marlins intended for him to play.
"We met with Yunel 10 days ago and he said he was comfortable playing third base," said Marlins president of baseball operations Larry Beinfest. "Recently he came back to us and said he was not comfortable playing third base. So we were not comfortable moving forward with him."
Escobar is due to make $5 million next season. Beinfest said the Marlins intend to take that money and re-invest it in a player -- or players -- on the major league roster. One obvious area of need is third base. The Marlins are considering free agents Mark Reynolds and Ian Stewart as possibilities. Beinfest said they will also explore trades for a third baseman.
The Marlins are also continuing to explore center field options.

HTC exposes customers' privates
Maybe someone else will ship them a phone?
HTC might be very slowly improving the quality of its repair service, but for the last week it has also been revealing customer details with a flick of a URL.
The URL concerned is emailed out by an HTC subcontractor to customers waiting for the return of their handsets. It links to details of their repair as identified by a job number at the end of the URL. But change the job number and you get to see someone else's details – or at least you did until the chaps over at Mobiles Please told them about it.
It's not a huge flaw: just the customer's name and address, along with the IMEI and serial number of the handset. However, it is indicative of a process which has been rushed by HTC and Regenersis – which actually does the work – as the company attempts to improve its repair and servicing processes.
Since we reported just how bad things were at HTC we've had some mails from reasonably satisfied customers. Free accessories have mollified some, while others are just happy to have their handsets back, but a significant number are still waiting to see when (and if) they'll see their phones again.
We don't know when Regenersis started handling repairs for HTC in the UK, but the company already provides warranty repairs for HTC (and Apple) in Poland, and fixes kit for UK shoppers buying from John Lewis and Argos as well as supporting Tetra radios for EDS.
Such an experienced company shouldn't make mistakes like this. Web developers often think security is something which can be added later, but Regenersis should know better, and revealing customer details isn't going to make any of those customers happier. ®

2008 Women's Soccer
Trine 2, Bluffton 0
Beavers drop 2-0 decision at Trine University
Sept. 16, 2008
ANGOLA, Ind. - The Bluffton University women's soccer team suffered a 2-0 setback to previously winless Trine University on Tuesday, Sept. 16, 2008. A pair of first half goals proved too much to overcome as Bluffton fell to 1-3-1 on the season while Trine improved to 1-5 overall with the Thunder's first victory since 2005.
The Thunder went up 1-0 midway through the first half when Kara Hershberger found the back of the net in minute 25. Seven minutes later she hit paydirt once again, giving the home team a 2-0 lead.
Bluffton pounded the Thunder with 25 shots, including nine on target to just 14 total attempts by Trine, but the Beavers were unable to convert on their chances as Trine held Bluffton scoreless. The Beavers forced four corner kicks, one more than the home team, and Bluffton was whistled for 11 fouls compared to just four for Trine.
Freshman Alex Jess (Piqua/Piqua), who scored two goals in Bluffton's tie at Rochester on Saturday, Sept. 13, paced the visitors with six shots, including three on target. Fellow freshmen Catie White (Lima/Central Catholic) and Monique Devol (Lancaster/Bloom-Carroll) added four and three shots, respectively. Keeper Katy Wisby (Lancaster/Bloom-Carroll) collected four saves in the loss.
Bluffton returns to action on Saturday, Sept. 20, when the Beavers travel to Thiel College. The contest vs. the Tomcats is slated to start at 2 p.m.

Guess what. NASA has found that our solar system has a tail.
No, we haven't heard that it is wagging and a far as we know the only one that has caught it is NASA's Interstellar Boundary Explorer space probe.
Guess what. NASA has found that our solar system has a tail.
No, we haven't heard that it is wagging and a far as we know the only one that has caught it is NASA's Interstellar Boundary Explorer space probe.
This tail is a stream of charged particles originating in the Sun. They stream backwards from the Sun's path of travel through galactic space. The effect is a long tail pointing back from where the Sun (and its planets) has come.
Sky & Telescope Magazine reports in the October issue that the spacecraft, launched in 2008, is mapping the turbulent boundary far beyond Pluto, between interstellar space and the the heliosphere. Charged particles and magnetic field lines flowing from the Sun as the "solar wind" make up an enormous bubble encasing the solar system, called the heliosphere. Interaction between these particles and the hydrogen atoms in deep space are detected by the craft.
The mapping revealed the tail looking "downwind" in the direction of where the constellations Orion and Taurus meet on the winter evening sky. The Sun, along with the Earth and other planets is heading roughly towards the bright star Vega in the constellation Hercules, well seen in the summer evening sky.
Hurtling forward with its great tail, the solar system is moving at approximately 136.7 miles a second. At this rate we travel an entire light year in 1,400 years. Note, the distance to the nearest other star system, Alpha Centauri, is 4.3 light years. The Milky Way Galaxy is big indeed. It takes the Sun as much as 240 million years to orbit once around the galaxy, with all the other stars moving as well.
The tail isn't something you would easily see "from out there"- no more than you could see the wind blowing. A tail of charged particles, however, has been photographed streaming back from another star, a famous variable star named Mira. It was pictured in ultraviolet light by NASA's Galaxy Evolution Explorer space telescope. Mira's tail is 13 light years long.
The tail looks a lot like a comet tail. The solar wind is also responsible for pushing back the fine dust and gas from a melting comet as it passes by the Sun, creating a long vaporous tail.
Tails of course are well known to backyard astronomers. I've had plenty of cats come by in the dark while I'm trying to look through the telescope.
The constellations also sport quite a few tails- depending on how you connect the stars. Those with tails include Leo the Lion, Draco the Dragon, Canis Major the Big Dog, Hydra the Sea Serpent, Cygnus the Swan and even Ursa Major the Big Bear. Ever see a bear with a long tail? The Big Dipper is part of the Bear constellation, and some see the Dipper's "handle" as the tail!
Enough of this "tail."
Last quarter Moon is on Sept. 26. Send your notes to firstname.lastname@example.com.

"If we crack down on 3rd party developers, that means we don't have to measure our software against the standard they set, right?"
Almost the point I was going to make. I'd hate to see the code behind this. First of all, if you are supporting the rear camera, the front camera support is all of 5 minutes (button in the UI, and passing the constant for front or rear camera based on the button state).
Then I read that they are only supporting 4.0+. Seriously? You can do everything they're doing there with the support jar and include all the way back to 2.0. If you want to do it nicely just pull in ActionBarSherlock and PageIndicator.
Then I read that they are only supporting 4.0+. Seriously? You can do everything they're doing there with the support jar and include all the way back to 2.0. If you want to do it nicely just pull in ActionBarSherlock and PageIndicator.
ActionBarSherlock has it's own bugs, and it adds inconsistencies.
It's just easier to support 4.0 and higher, and with 4.0's market share climbing you'll see this more and more. It's not worth taking the download size increase, additional bugs, or additional inconsistencies in ActionBarSherlock, when you could just support the OS most of your users are likely to use anyway.
Plus, there are improvements around the camera in 3.0 and higher that ActionBarSherlock doesn't fix.
ABS is fairly rock solid, so I wouldn't really consider that that much a reason to hold back 1/3 of the android market.
We've seen issues with ActionBarSherlock. Not enough to keep us from releasing the app, but definitely enough to cause development fits.
ABS has been good about fixing bugs, but again, that's just one more thing that gets in the way that we'd rather do without.
The only thing in 4.0 that I could agree with you on is that 4.0 added a face detection API (in fact it was the only API change in android.hardware for 4.0). As far as a wrapper being not fun/onerous.... That might confuse a Java 101 student and yeah, wrappers aren't glitzy, but you do it everywhere. Any time you need to account for hardware or OS options you have to do something (this goes for iOS and Android). In this case you do everything you would have done and if the version is less than 4.0 don't do
The kids were nothing to look at either.
Bad puns are simply that. Bad.
Another biggie is it doesn't yet allow users to post their six-second videos to Facebook.
The article says they got 13 million users in a year. I feel like the company would have come out with an Android version faster than that...maybe like 2-3 million users.
So what is vine?
The website says absolutely nothing, there are apps for two OSs I don't use, no web interface, no description...?
Does it have ANY market share? Why should we care?
You are lost in the Swamps of Despair.

Kain's anti-death penalty journey leads to Rome
WCSU professor shares Connecticut abolition experience at international justice congress
DANBURY, CONN. — Dr. George Kain traveled a long road to become a leader in the successful campaign to abolish the death penalty in Connecticut during 2012. In November, he journeyed to Rome to join justice ministers and opponents of capital punishment from around the world in celebration of the state's legislative milestone.
Kain, associate professor of Justice and Law Administration at Western Connecticut State University, recalled how his views on capital punishment have evolved during his career as a state Judicial Branch administrator, WCSU faculty member and Ridgefield police commissioner from his initial support of the death penalty to his current role as president of the Connecticut Network to Abolish the Death Penalty (CNADP). He was invited to join the CNADP board in 2004 after he appeared at a local forum discussion at which he quoted the late U.S. Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall's opinion that "if people knew the truth about capital punishment, they would never be able to support it." He repeated that quote during his Nov. 27 talk representing CNADP at the Seventh International Congress of Ministers of Justice in Rome.
"I have been involved in law enforcement for 29 years and, if I thought for a single minute that the death penalty was necessary to keep law enforcement officers safe, I wouldn't be standing before you today," he told the congress. "The arguments supporting capital punishment are full of false promises, but the evidence tells us another story."
In recent years, Kain and Associate Professor of Justice and Law Administration Terrence Dwyer, a retired New York state police investigator, have collaborated on several research articles exploring capital punishment issues. They earned recognition for best paper presentations at two professional conferences held in Las Vegas during October. "Our work on capital punishment has become a passion for me," Kain observed, "and my hope is that it will draw attention to the wonderful research being done by the faculty at Western."
The CNADP board asked Kain to represent the organization at the Rome conference and the coinciding annual observance of "Cities for Life Week," culminating in the Nov. 29 lighting of the Roman Colosseum in recognition of Connecticut's abolition of the death penalty during 2012. Kain was accompanied by fellow CNADP board member and WCSU student Fernando Bermudez, whose 1992 conviction for a New York City murder was overturned in 2009 in a case championed by the Innocence Project.
Kain was recruited as an eleventh-hour replacement for former CNADP Executive Director Ben Jones, who recently resigned to join a death penalty abolition organization in Kansas, and the WCSU professor found himself thrust to center stage with a surprise invitation to address the opening meeting of the justice ministers congress. His hurriedly drafted speech and subsequent remarks as invited guest at a closed-door session of ministers received a warm reception, including an invitation from Zambia's recently appointed justice minister to visit the southern African nation to advise the government on how to prepare an accurate survey of public opinion on capital punishment.
"Cities for Life" organizers provided a full schedule for Kain and Bermudez to share their experiences with the anti-death penalty movement in informal talks at churches and schools in the area. One of Kain's most moving experiences came during a lively exchange with students at a high school in northern Rome. There he learned that the class was currently reading Charles Dickens' "Bleak House" — one of several Dickens works that Kain and Dwyer have referenced in their articles because they reflect the 19th century British author's struggles with the subject of capital punishment — and he framed his classroom talk around the theme of this "Dickensian dilemma."
"When we took questions and answers afterwards," Kain recalled, "a girl in the class said, 'You live in the United States, where more than half of your states have capital punishment, and you claim to be the world leader in human rights. How can you justify that?' Her question reminded me that you can learn a lot about the United States when you listen to people in other countries and understand what they see in us."
Kain and Bermudez were guests of honor introduced at the Colosseum illumination, a traditional symbol during "Cities for Life Week" representing government actions over the past year to end capital punishment. Kain observed that approximately 100 nations worldwide "have abolished capital punishment either in law or in practice over the past 10 years." Within the United States, five states — New York, New Jersey, New Mexico, Illinois and most recently Connecticut — have abolished capital punishment since 2007, increasing the number of states banning the death penalty to 17.
Kain said the CNADP will continue its work to ensure the Connecticut abolition of capital punishment is preserved, and "to provide assistance to movements in states now in the same position we were in with the campaign to abolish the death penalty." He said he left Rome with a sense of humility for the opportunity to serve as "a messenger of world peace, a world without hate. It made me very proud to be part of this university and to be an American citizen on this mission."
"This was a time to pause, reflect and celebrate," he said, "but our work is far from over."
