Associate Professor and Assistant Department Chair
I am actively engaged, as a co-investigator, in an international collaboration that has been monitoring radio and X-ray emission from extragalactic supernovae (SNe) for over 20 years. I have the primary responsibility for planning and executing VLA radio observations and conducting the corresponding data analysis. Supernovae are among the most energetic phenomena in the Universe, releasing >1051 ergs in a few seconds with shock speeds >10,000 km s-1. SNe are linked to many of the phenomena of importance to modern astrophysics, e.g. formation of black holes and neutron stars, at least some types of gamma-ray bursters, star-burst galaxies, element formation, the chemical evolution of the host galaxy, cosmological probes, cosmic ray production, creation of interstellar dust, and distribution of heavy elements and energy in the interstellar medium (ISM). While the optical observations study the chemical properties of the progenitor star, they only sample the SN photosphere and ejecta at very early times. Only radio measurements can determine the long-term circumstellar material (CSM) density and radial structure, as the radio emission arises from the interaction from the SN blastwave and the progenitor's CSM.
We are actively searching for new radio SNe with our Target of Opportunity program and monitor previously discovered radio SNe through our Long-Term Monitoring program. We need to establish a larger radio SNe sample so that we can begin to better understand the final fate of high mass stars. About 40 radio SNe have now been detected, and multi-wavelength radio light curves have been determined for about 25 (only 12 with comprehensive coverage). Radio light curves provide unique information about the evolution of the progenitor star, including the pre-explosion mass-loss history that allows us to better understand the evolution of stars from birth to death. A second component to this effort is the long-term radio, optical, and X-ray monitoring of nearby spiral galaxies that have been host to numerous SNe in the last century.
My recent work involves the radio monitoring of SNe with the VLA, following newly discovered sources as they evolve and periodic monitoring intermediate-age (decades-old) SNe. These short-lived, high mass progenitor stars comprise an exceptionally small subset of a galaxy's stellar population, but they play extremely important roles in heavy element enrichment and in the triggering of star formation within their host galaxies. In particular, the X-ray and radio emission from SNe provide an unparalleled opportunity to study the nature of SNe, supernova remnants, and their CSM and surrounding ISM. For example, in the recent VLA/VLBA study of the type IIb SN 2001gd, we showed that the source has a steeper spectral index than other type II radio SNe and, there appears to be a relation between the spectral index of RSNe and the expansion velocity of the SN blastwave. We may be able to use the spectral index to constrain estimates for the expansion velocity of the blast wave, which is typically difficult to measure accurately and is essential in determining the mass-loss rates of the progenitor star prior to explosion. Another interesting source, SN 2001em was optically classified as a type Ic SN (expected to have very little CSM). My radio study of SN 2001em, initiated two years after explosion, indicates a strong blastwave/CSM interaction, implying a significantly denser, more-distant CSM than models predicted.
In the course of the next five years, I will assume the leadership of the now 25-year-old VLA SN project and further develop our nearby spiral galaxy observing project. These studies constitute the most comprehensive program to date that studies radio SNe as they transition from the explosion of the progenitor stars into supernova remnants. I will continue to search for new radio SNe and monitor the known radio SNe. I will expand our studies of nearby spiral galaxies as part of a VLA legacy project, making deep observations of eight more nearby spiral galaxies. Through a pre-tenure one semester sabbatical in 2007/2008 through Marquette University, I will spend considerable time developing this coordinated effort between these two distinct studies. I am continuing to strengthen my research group, having involved six students over the last three years in my research program, with three as authors or coauthors on published or submitted papers. Through this program, I will increase the number of well sampled radio light curves of SNe and make the deepest, high-resolution radio studies of their host galaxies. This will lead to a better understanding of the environment of SN progenitors, their formation, and their evolution prior to explosion. Finally, we will be able to probe the transition from SN to remnant, which will shed light on how heavy nuclei formed in SN explosions are then mixed into the ISM.

|Market Snapshot:
Week Chg
Week %Chg
S&P 500 Index
Dow Jones Industrials
NASDAQ Composite
Value Line Arithmetic Index
Minor Cycle (Short-term trend lasting days to a few weeks) Positive
Intermediate Cycle (Medium trend lasting weeks to several months) Positive
Major Cycle (Long-term trend lasting several months to years) Positive
The snail's pace race occurring in the stock market continued last week in the S&P 500, NASDAQ Composite, and Value Line index, the latter of which that rallied to new all-time closing high Friday. The Dow Jones 30 were down slightly on the week. Market volume deteriorated by just under 6%. But underscoring all activity is the fact that all cycles, including Minor, Intermediate, and Major remain positive. That fact is underscored further by lingering "Overbought" conditions in all and short-term Momentum that has confirmed none of the rally to new short to intermediate highs in any of the major indexes.
There is an undeniable truth to this market, however -- non-confirmations can persist. There are times when indicators are in synch with index pricing, and there are times when the reverse is true. Since the latter condition has been evident for the better part of the past two years and since the price highs of May 2011, an idle observer could be inclined to suggest that the indicators are not working. Not so.
Indicators, at best, are early warning devices. They signal possible future changes in price trend just as meteorologists check barometric readings to determine the likelihood of a storm. And because the nature of stock market forecasting must, by definition, allow for variability in extremes, either up or down, what was deemed extreme indicator negativity at the end of one market cycle may not be quite the same in another. For example, indicator divergences into the last bull market top in the fall of 2007 began to develop about six months before the eventual top. In 2000 the lead time was nearly 10 months. In the current instance the fact that nearly all of our major indicators peaked in the spring of 2011 could turn out to less premature than ultimately prescient.
Market Overview – What We Know:
- Major indexes were somewhat mixed last week with a slight upward bias. Only the Dow Jones 30 was negative and only the Value Line index rallied to a slightly higher all-time closing high.
- All cycles, including Minor, Intermediate, and Major, remain positive.
- Market volume declined by 6%.
- S&P 500 becomes negative on Minor Cycle below lower edge of 10-Day Price Channel (1496.16) and on Intermediate Cycle below lower edge of 10-Week Price Channel (1406.37).
- Daily MAAD eked out new short-term high last Wednesday, but did not confirm S&P 500 strength to new short to intermediate-term high Friday. Weekly MAAD continues to hold below late April 2011 high, but was last positioned to threaten on upside long-term downtrend line stretching back to pre-2000 market high.
- Daily CPFL hit new short-term high last week, but remains well below major resistance high created week ending February 25, 2011. Daily CPFL Ratio was "Overbought" at 1.60 while the Weekly Ratio was overheated at 1.61.
- Cumulative Volume (CV) in S&P 500 was last at new short to intermediate high, but indicator has only recovered to level of July 2011 when S&P was bid near 1340. Overall, CV in ALL of major indexes remains weaker than pricing.
As we've noted before, off of the March 2009 lows and into the May 2011 highs, the S&P 500 gained just under 106%. Since those indicators peaked in May 2011, the S&P has only gained a little over 10%. Of course individual issues and other indexes have done better or worse over the past two years, but that is always the case in any market cycle. In that same time frame since March 2009 Netflix (NFLX) rallied from $34 to $304, declined back to about $53 and has since recovered toward $188. Similarly Apple (AAPL) rallied from the low 80s to $705.07 and was last near $475.

Bernard King was holding up his right hand. "Imagine my index finger is my right leg," he said. He then lifted his finger about a half-inch, and smiled. "No higher than that," he said.
That, King said, was the first exercise he did back in the spring of 1985, just weeks after he suffered one of the most significant injuries in the history of the NBA. King was 28 years old and had been in the midst of a remarkable 1984-'85 season for New York, averaging 32.9 points and having posted a Knick-record 60 points on Christmas, when he suffered a devastating knee injury on March 23 in Kansas City. Even in that game, he had scored 37 points before he got hurt.
MORE: Bernard King HOF highlight reel | Gary Payton highlight reel | HOF inducts 12
Weeks later, though, he found himself lying in a hospital bed, having had open-knee surgery to repair his ACL, put together torn cartilage and fix a broken bone in the knee. When he met with his physical therapist for the first time, he was instructed to lift his leg off the bed. He couldn't do it without help.
"To go from playing the game every day at the speed that I played it at, running on the fast break, to be reduced to someone helping you raise your leg a few inches off the bed was disconcerting," King said, "to say the least."
King's disconcertment did not last long.
At the time, knee surgeries were complicated, not done with arthroscopic procedures as they are today. His doctors were hoping that he would simply be able to walk again. But King had a different idea—he was not just going to walk, he was going to return to the NBA. And he would return at an All-Star level. He would go on to do just that, and over the weekend, the perseverance he showed in coming back from the knee injury was acknowledged by his induction into the Basketball Hall of Fame.
"My attitude and thought was always, No. 1, I am from Brooklyn," King said. "I grew up on the toughest basketball courts in the world in one of the toughest communities in the nation. And my thought was, if I can make it all the way from there to the top in the NBA, and rise to the top of my profession, I can handle this with regard to coming back from my ACL. This is nothing. I didn't dream to make it back—I set it as a goal, to come back at a certain level. I slowly, each day, climbed that mountain. It was my own personal Everest. Each day, little by little, I would climb."
In the wake of the injury, the Knicks installed a gym's worth of exercise equipment in King's home, including a treadmill and a $35,000 Cybex machine. For six days a week, King would meet his physical therapist and spend five hours building up strength in the knee. He would celebrate the small milestones—bending the knee, walking on the treadmill unassisted, doing a leg press—always respecting each step in his little-by-little climb.
"Every day," King said, "I would close the door where all my equipment was located in my home and, you see this right hand? I would take it and pat myself on the back and say, 'Good job today, Bernard.' I would close the door and forget about it till the next day."
It was more than two years later, in April of 1987, that King finally achieved the first portion of his goal. In a home loss to the Bucks, King took the floor once more for the Knicks, playing 23 minutes and scoring seven points. He played six games, scoring 30, 29 and 31 points in his final three outings.
King was a free agent after that and, with the Knicks passing on keeping him, he signed with Washington. With the knee surgery having sapped his explosiveness, King recognized the need to become a more cerebral player, using an array of interior moves to get his points. In his first full season back, he scored 20.7 points per game. Two years later, at age 34, he averaged 28.4 points, 5.0 rebounds and 4.6 assists. He was, against the odds, an All-Star again.
"At the time, I was told my career was over," King said. "Obviously, I did not believe anyone. I knew I was going to come back. It wasn't a question of whether I was going to come back. I was going to come back and be an All-Star again. That's the goal I set for myself. There was no deviation, ever. I had a goal in mind and I had tunnel vision, and I was not going to stop until I reached that goal."
On Sunday morning, at his hotel room in Springfield, Mass., just before the induction ceremony, King said he went to YouTube and found a gospel song by Marvin Sapp called, "Never Would've Made It." King recited the lyrics:
"Never would've made it without you,
I would have lost it all, but now I see,
How you were there for me.
When I look back at all you brought me through,
I never would've made it without you."
He was talking, of course, about the coaches, teammates and family members who helped him along his NBA journey. But King could have been talking, too, about his own will and determination. He wasn't supposed to play basketball again after his injury, yet he climbed his Everest, and earned a spot among the game's immortals.
"I am proud of that," King said. "To me, that's what defines my career."

Q Gary, please don't let San Jose Mayor Chuck Reed skip out of office without addressing the horrific conditions of our roads. It's bad enough we don't have enough police and firefighters, but the roads? REALLY.
Does Reed own an auto repair shop or tire company? I drive to miss the potholes and sharp edges around everything. I don't see any roads anywhere being repaired. Please make this a priority. No roads, no Mr. Roadshow.
Buford Parr
San Jose
A And …
Q I don't care about letters about traffic, stoplights etc. I want to know when San Jose will repave our roads. I am ready to buy me a horse and buggy.
Mike D'Amelio
San Jose
A No more Mr. Roadshow? Horse and buggy? OK, you have my attention. The city's dilapidated streets rank among the worst in the nation, and San Jose has a $339 million backlog of deferred pavement maintenance and an annual funding shortfall of $80 million. Because of the backlog and shortfall, the city is reserving funds to repair 400 key miles of its 2,400 miles of streets.
San Francisco faced a similar situation three years ago when it put a $238 million bond measure on the ballot. It passed. Hmm. Should voters here copy that city to the north?
Q I realize that many streets in Santa Clara County are in need of repaving, but I nominate Miller Avenue between Prospect Road and Bollinger Road as the worst stretch most in need of repair. Can anything be done to repave this street before many of us have to have our front ends aligned and shock absorbers replaced? Try driving it yourself to see why I am complaining.
Bob Battaglia
San Jose
Q I will not submit my Prius to this pain. Noe-the-Pothole-Person says you are correct in that Miller is in need of repair and has sent crews out to fix potholes that need immediate attention. But Miller is not on the 400-mile priority list, and until funds are obtained there are no plans to repave Miller or almost any other residential street.
Q I've lived in San Jose for 21 years. The entire time, the westbound section of Hamilton Avenue between Meridian and Bascom keeps getting worse and worse. Will they ever repair this section?
Barbara Lerner
San Jose
A Good news, perhaps. The section between Norman and Leigh avenues will be re-evaluated later this year and may make the 400-mile cutoff list.
Q Maybe you can tell us why San Jose has spent taxpayers' money on painting double yellow lines and a massive amount of tire road bumps and center-line reflectors on Blackford Avenue from Norman to Meridian. This is not a major street. What the hell was the city thinking?
T.C. Rin
A San Jose did not spend our tax dollars for this work. The recent striping work was part of a traffic calming program with funding provided from developer fees. The striping was supported by a majority of households along this road via a petition. Blackford serves as the primary access to Blackford Elementary and Valley Christian Elementary, and the neighborhood. Edgeline striping was installed to visually narrow the road, which can help to reduce overall speed levels.

When your refrigerator's ice maker isn't working, you should definitely do some ice maker troubleshooting before calling repair.
Many people don't even know how an icemaker works, so your ice maker problems can be a simple misunderstanding.
Make sure the metal arm on your ice maker is DOWN and any control is set to "ON."
Is the water supply properly connected and turned on? It should be, also.
A loose drain cap can leave you with thin ice because water will empty from the water pan, so tighten that drain cap!
The drain tube could be clogged from sediment, which you can flush out by shutting off the water line, waiting, and turning back on. Ensure there are no kinks in the drain that could prevent the flow of rejected water out.
Those are just basic tips everyone should try before calling for ice maker repair. Hopefully it works for you.

Cowboy couple belly-cupping
Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher were at the Stagecoach Country Music Festival this weekend. They publicly displayed their affection for each other. And at one point, he stood behind her and put his arms around her.
Definitely not as egregious as when it happens on a red carpet posing for photographs. As much as I enjoy taking a sh-t on Ashton Kutcher, even I can't put him on blast for it. Even I can tell the difference between this and when it happens at the Golden Globe Awards/some movie premiere/some other Hollywood party and there's a photo wall and it's like LOOK AT ME WITH MY HAND AND IT's CUPPING.
Let me balance this out though. Because I can't let you go without one shot at him. He looks like even more of a douchebag in a cowboy hat.

Admittedly, it's been a while since I have trained my own dogs. And frankly, I find OB training to be necessary, but a tad monotonous. (Though still I wish I could, but with Teeny recovering from her ACL tear and Blue STILL being HW+, we're all on rest.)
Today I had two consults, both for large dogs (the first was an Alapaha, the second a Neo mix) with behavioral issues. I LOVE BEHAVIORAL CONSULTS! It just feels so natural. There is something about behavior, both canine and human, that just captivates me. And I don't have to think . . . I just KNOW what I am looking at. It's like I was bred to do this
That's it. Two nice consults, good dogs, and dedicated owners. I was even told by one that she learned more from me in our hour session than she did in ANY of the classes that she has taken at the place she works at (where we used to work together YEARS ago). She even told the old owner, after being offered a private consult from her, that she would rather see me
So yeah, a bit of a brag, but more of just the happiness in realizing that training, specifically behavior mod, is where I need to be

What's America's favorite past time? Looking at bike blogs, right? So why did it take so long to make this tee?
About four years ago I had friend draw this up for me, still not sure why I waited so long to actually produce these tees. But with the Los Angeles Dodgers' wonderful season and American Apparel finally making a Ash Gray that I was stoked on, I figured it was about time.

Usually, I keep the sketches of every project I designed and use them as simple documentation. Sometime I might refer back to the old sketches for ideas and references. Here I would like to share my development process of Web Designer Wall with you. This article will show you how WDW is done – from start to finish.
The design you see now is not my original concepts. I actually been through two versions before I finalized this one. Let's take a look at my original concepts:
Computer desk
My initial concept was to have a computer desk with an iMac or G5, bookshelves, magazines, plants, sticky notes, and a pull-down tag cloud. Then I thought it might look too similar to FreelanceSwitch, so I trashed it.
Wall concept
Then I came up this "wall" concept – a lot of sketches on the wall, a bookshelf, some design books & magazines, a Flash ticking clock (just to look cool), Ajax calendar on the sidebar, and some stickies.
Photoshop comp
Here was my first comp of the wall concept. I didn't like this comp at all. Somehow it didn't turn out as nice as on the concept sketch. Plus it looked too much like this site. Then I wanted to try another direction…
Another direction
Later, I saw a flower sketch that I drew (for fun) long time ago and I thought it might work on my design. I quickly scanned it and put in my Photoshop comp. I like it a lot!
Finally, I decided to use the flower design and traced it in Illustrator. I chose watercolor style because I wanted the theme to look artsy and sketchy. The tag cloud actually took me a lot of time because I wanted to design a very unique cloud. I tried pull-down tag cloud, but I didn't like it. Then, I ended up with this plain and simple tag cloud. Here are some more development screenshots:

Enemies of Happiness
(Vores Lykkes Fjender)
A film by
Eva Mulvad
Anja Al-Erhayem
Denmark, 2006, 59 minutes, Color, DVD, Farsi, Pasthu, Subtitled
Order No. W07921
"In September 2005, Afghanistan held its first parliamentary elections in 35 years. Among the candidates for 249 assembly seats was Malalai Joya, a courageous, controversial 27-year-old woman who had ignited outrage among hard-liners when she spoke out against corrupt warlords at the Grand Council of tribal elders in 2003. ENEMIES OF HAPPINESS is a revelatory portrait of this extraordinary freedom fighter and the way she won the hearts of voters, as well as a snapshot of life and politics in war-torn Afghanistan.
Amidst vivid, poetic images of Joya's dusty Farah Province, the film tracks the final weeks of her campaign, when death threats restrict her movements. But the parade of trusting constituents arriving on her doorstep leaves no doubt that Joya is a popular hero. Among her visitors is a 100-year-old woman who treks two hours to offer loyalty and herbal medicine. King Solomon-style, Joya acts as folk mediator and advocate, adjudicating between a wife and her violent, drug-addicted husband and counseling a family forced to marry off their adolescent daughter to a much older man. Protected by armed guards, Joya heads to poor rural areas to address crowds of women, pledging to be their voice and �expose the enemies of peace, women, and democracy.� In the presence of her fierce tenacity, we can imagine the future of an enlightened nation.� - Caroline Libresco,

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
It all started with a Big Green Egg. The best smoker/grill ever built. I have owned one for over ten years now. Like many I prefer cooking outdoors with fire. My wife and I entertain a good bit. Back in the day, we wanted a larger home for our family and to accommodate more guests. We can host parties of 50 to 65 people with a fair amount of ease with only one cook. Me. We found a house for sale that was zoned on farmland with 5 acres. My lonely Egg and I cooked in this big empty space for a long time. We wanted to do something better accommodate our guest and to make cooking more enjoyable for the chef. My Egg and I devised a plan. She needed a sibling and I needed a very large sink with pluming. We needed counter space and burners for side items.
I got to thinking about pizza on my Egg and how its a favorite of mine– yet never attempted making them for parties due to the turnaround time. The more I thought about a pizza party with two Eggs and 65 people… the more I still felt unsettled. I can remember thinking "I need a larger cooking surface for pizza" and then remembered an amazing coal fired brick oven experience many moons ago. The shape even looked like a Big Green Egg with the massive domed structure and a flat cooking surface with temperatures exceeding 900 degrees. That thought sent me straight to the internet where I found blueprints/plans to build a Pompeii110. Thanks Forno Bravo!!
My wife, less enthused about this revelation, indicated if I got an outdoor kitchen her needs should be met as well. Mainly, a spa and with a comfortable space to relax in. She thought our son would love a pool. A pool meant more opportunities to cook. I couldn't argue with the paring/chemistry of it all. It made sense to have a TV outside so… shelter was added. My wife and I agreed a fire pit would complete the design. So I envisioned buying a spitjack pig rotisserie and setting it up with the two tripods and steel bar across a flat dirt surface – then digging a hole around the oval dimension needed to cook whole hog over fire.
The continual sound of water became important to me. It made economic sense to remove dirt from the pool site/space then mound it up beside the pool to place the spa 4ft high and 12ft away from the pool's edge to create a water feature.
For almost two years I did nothing with the above. I couldn't afford it and had to pair down the design/cost without compromising quality. I created two itemized spreadsheets and budgeted each component and mico-components out until I had something actionable, within budget, and within the given resale projections.
Long story short, I get asked all the time…. "All this for a Big Green Egg?!?!" My response is usually "Well… I guess you've never cooked on one before, or at the very least, you have never fallen in love with something inanimate." Most don't know how to respond… a few do.
Over the holidays I had a conversation with a guy that led me to joining this forum. He asked "So what is it? The Egg or the three day brine that makes this turkey so good?" My response sounded cryptic and weird by reading his facial expressions. I indicated it was about the journey as I recalled the many turkeys before this one and talked of my Christmas plans for the next year with eagerness. We were miles apart as he kept asking about the blasted turkey… the turkey was merely a byproduct of a passion born long ago.
You guys understand me… even without an introduction.
I've never been a part of a forum before… I have a learning curve ahead of me….
Feeling at Home already,

Zero stars (out of four)
I don't know when or how "A Glimpse Inside the Mind of Charles Swan III" came about, but here's the phone conversation that may as well have taken place between star Charlie Sheen and writer/director Roman Coppola:
CS: "Roman, baby, it's Sheen. Need a favor."
RC: "Of course. I remember what happened last time I said 'no' to you."
CS: "Bitchin'. Need to do a movie to show how hard it is being me. We'll call the character Charles Swan as a wink-wink, nudge-nudge thing. He's a smug, unrepentant playboy in 1970s L.A. who confronts his failings after his girlfriend dumps him. Except since it's everyone else's fault for misunderstanding him, he'll learn nothing and won't change. Dig?"
RC: "Great. After writing 'Moonrise Kingdom' with Wes, I want to shake things up and make a movie that's completely soulless and hollow."
Seriously, movies don't come much more self-congratulatory than "Charles Swan III," which shifts the unfocused, '60s-nodding style of Coppola's 2001 writing/directing debut "CQ" into something even more detached and insincere.
Swan is a wealthy designer who drives a car with bacon and eggs painted on it but needs to wake up and smell the coffee, since his beautiful better half, Ivana (Katheryn Winnick), has plenty of reasons to walk out on her selfish boyfriend. Instead, Swan, his best friend Kirby (Jason Schwartzman) and financial adviser Saul (Bill Murray) groan about women's conniving heartlessness as the guys play victims and lament the poor condition of being horny guys whose significant others won't just be happy with men who make no effort at all.
Displaying no recognizable human emotions, Sheen can't even convincingly play a version of himself. "Swan" unfolds as if we should be dazzled by Swan's misbehavior and fascinated by this scoundrel's over-stylized fantasies (he dreams of popping out of his grave dancing and, later, his exes presenting him with the "Best Bull[bleep] Winner" award at a glitzy ceremony.).
This pretentious jerk relaxes on a hot dog couch and mentions his toucan first in his audio will, but it's not an indictment: Swan's a me-first guy who thinks he's entitled to everyone else's adoration. Nothing in the film, which co-stars Patricia Arquette, Aubrey Plaza and Mary Elizabeth Winstead in thankless roles, suggests any painful comeuppance that results from Swan's attitude.
A guy fixated on sex isn't unique. A sleazy vanity project for a fallen star deserves to win that award Swan so proudly gave himself.

ACL Reconstruction - Four Years
Four years....
For the most part...my knee is good. I have resumed all pre-surgery activities and have full ROM. This past year has been exceptionally busy with work and family. I put my gym membership on hold for a few months due to work responsibilities. I have resumed my membership but my time at the gym is sporadic. I joined the gym 4 years ago with the sole purpose of keeping my knee strong.
I notice the difference. After a long karate class, my knee feels tired and sore. I am hesitating with certain movements in kata such as the jump in Chinto and the pivoting in Tekkos.
My plan for the next year is to rededicate my efforts to keep my knee strong. I will go to the gym regularly. If I cannot get to the gym, I must remember to do leg strengthening exercises at home (similar to my original PT protocol).
There is still one spot on my knee where the nerves don't seem aligned. If I rub the inside of my knee, I feel prickling on the outside of my knee. I don't think this will ever go away.
My previous anniversary updates can be found below.

WILSONVILLE, Ore. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — April 29, 2011 — Mentor Graphics Corporation (NASDAQ: MENT) today announced that its FloEFD™ computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software product was used by all state finalists in the Third Annual Real World Design Challenge (RWDC), a national aviation design competition that was held on April 16, 2011. The 2011 RWDC National Champion is the Xavier High School Falcons team from Middletown, CT who received their first place award at the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C. President Obama sent a congratulatory letter to praise all of the students who participated in this year's Challenge.
Over 3,000 high school students from across the country were given the opportunity to work on a real-world engineering challenge in a collaborative, team-based environment this year, using lessons from the classroom applied to the technical challenges faced in today's workplace. The challenge problem, designing the next-generation airplane wing, was developed by a team of professional engineers from NASA, Cessna Aircraft Company, the FAA, and the Aerospace States Association (ASA), to evaluate how students would address the design challenges engineers face each day.
A public and private partnership, the RWDC provides tools and resources to the schools to support Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) education. The Mentor Graphics® Mechanical Analysis Division (MAD) donated its leading FloEFD computational fluid dynamics software to all participating schools. The aeronautical challenge required the teams to apply the software (donated by NASA, Cessna, PTC and Mentor, and others) and develop a paper on their findings, then present to a panel of expert judges. The judges then selected the finalists and winning teams.
The winning team from Xavier High School was coached by Michael Humphreys, Xavier mathematics and science teacher, and State Coordinator Christine Gemelli. The student team members are: Chris Muckle '12; Mike Leon '11; Miraj Rahematpura '12; Mario Chris '13; Giovanni Sabato '12; Andrew Moeller '12; and John Voelker '12. A team from Washington state received the second place award, followed by a team from Kansas.
"The Real World Design Challenge is a shining example of ways schools, government and industry can ensure America continues to lead in aerospace," said Lieutenant Governor Mead Treadwell of Alaska, Chair of the Aerospace States Association. "Through the Challenge, my fellow governors and lieutenant governors and I have been able to bring tremendous resources and expertise from industry to schools across the country at no cost to the students and schools."
"We are proud of these students for participating in the RWDC since they will help shape the future of aerospace engineering," stated Erich Buergel, general manager of the Mentor Graphics Mechanical Analysis Division. "Using Mentor's FloEFD CAD-embedded computational fluid dynamics software for the design challenge, the students effectively demonstrated the product's ease-of-use, accuracy, and high-performance benefits for aerodynamic analysis."
About the Real World Design Challenge
The Real World Design Challenge is an annual high school competition run by a public-private partnership with the goal of sustainably increasing the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) workforce. The partners are focused on working within the context of the American educational system to transform STEM education in the United States by providing professional science and engineering and learning resources to students and teachers.

"Cub Camp" 2014 Calendar Will Have You Going "Woof!"
The plethora of 2014 calendars featuring men in various states of undress gets another one of its niches filled with Cub Camp's entry into the field.
If you wanna see cubs in the wild (courtesy of photographer Bradley Roberge), take a look at Cub Camp's teaser images below (slightly NSFW), then head here for the $20 calendar which benefits the Will Munro Fund for Queer & Trans Youth Living with Cancer. Woof!
these are a bunch of guys who've decided to jump onto the "cub" trend. they grow out their facial/body hair a bit and viola they're cubs. i'm sure a few years ago they were shaved smooth with plucked eyebrows fangirling over the latest cher remix at a dragbar. it's appropriation as fashion. who knows what new look they'll be sporting come spring? lame.

Tigers rally, but can't pick up struggling Verlander
DETROIT -- Justin Verlander has gotten a lot of big third outs, some of them followed by a big reaction. The shout he uttered into his glove Monday night was clearly not that kind of reaction.
As Ian Kinsler fired to first base to retire Eric Hosmer for the final out of the sixth inning, Verlander put his glove to his mouth and yelled emphatically enough that he hunched over to do it.View Full Game Coverage
DETROIT -- Justin Verlander has gotten a lot of big third outs, some of them followed by a big reaction. The shout he uttered into his glove Monday night was clearly not that kind of reaction.
As Ian Kinsler fired to first base to retire Eric Hosmer for the final out of the sixth inning, Verlander put his glove to his mouth and yelled emphatically enough that he hunched over to do it.View Full Game Coverage
It wasn't about the out, but the damage to the Royals that preceded it.
It was a lot of damage.
It's been a lot of damage.
"Frustration," Verlander explained after the Tigers' 11-8 loss to the Royals at Comerica Park. "I can't say what those words were. They're not TV, paper, anything else, mother-approved."
The numbers aren't particularly clean, either. The reactions from the crowd of 31,774 at Comerica Park reflected the disapproval towards that.
While Verlander allowed seven runs for the second consecutive outing, his 12 hits allowed marked his highest total since last July and tied his highest hit count since 2006. Add in a four-run seventh off Evan Reed, and the Royals scored 11 runs in a three-inning stretch, the last of which loomed as the difference once the Tigers rallied for six runs in the ninth to make the score close.
The difference between Detroit and Kansas City in the AL Central standings, meanwhile, dropped to a half-game, the Tigers' smallest lead since they were tied atop the division on April 19. Detroit will need to win two of the remaining three games in this series to stay on top heading into Cleveland at week's end -- and Verlander's next start there on Saturday.
Verlander forecast Sunday that the Royals would come into town looking to make a statement against the three-time defending division champs. Their win made just as much of a statement about Verlander's recent struggles.
And as Verlander headed towards the dugout at the end of the sixth, clearly steamed, he heard the kind of reaction previously reserved for him in hostile road environments like Oakland, New York and Chicago's south side.
Verlander was booed -- in Detroit.
"They've cheered me plenty. They have the right to boo," Verlander said, "because I was frustrated. If I was up in the stands, I'd boo myself too. I will get better. They'll cheer again."
While Verlander has been looking for his form since May, his struggles have picked up in June. He headed into the month with a 3.99 ERA on the season. Three starts, 19 runs and 18 2/3 innings later, his ERA now sits at 4.98, his highest mark after 15 starts in any season.
He has remained optimistic between starts that his stuff is improving, that he's close to finding an effective form, even if it isn't the dominance that made him one of baseball's nastiest pitchers. He has had glimpses of that in games, but not stretches.
Monday didn't provide a glimpse so much as a getaway, for four innings. Again, it wasn't so much a matter of velocity as command. His fastball opened at 94 mph and sat at 95, slightly down from his previous two starts. Instead of missing the strike zone, as he did in his previous starts, he often missed over the plate -- with his fastball as well as his off-speed offerings.
"The first four innings we were getting some weak contact," catcher Alex Avila said. "We were changing speeds. His command was OK. I wouldn't say it was spot-on because if it was, he would've been able to keep it going. I think it just kind of caught up in that fifth, sixth inning."
Both Avila and Verlander called it a snowball effect. On a night with a first-pitch temperature of 89 degrees, the snowball kept rolling.
Hoping to avoid the big inning that doomed him in his recent starts, Verlander suffered two. One came from an old nemesis, a four-run fifth inning fueled by Billy Butler's bases-clearing double.
"No matter what kind of a skid that Verlander's on, you expect him to get right back on track," Butler said. "It's one of those things where we capitalized on every mistake he made."
Even when Verlander has been at his best, Butler has hit him -- now 33-for-75 with nine walks against Verlander for their careers. Verlander got him for a double play on a fastball over the plate in the fourth inning because he spotted a first-pitch slider to get ahead. Once three consecutive ground-ball singles -- the last an Eric Hosmer squibber -- loaded the bases and extended the fifth for Butler, he tried back-to-back inside fastballs.
"The first one was good," Avila said. "It was running in, looking like a strike and then it runs inside. We were trying to get that again, maybe induce a double play there and get a ground ball, and just left it over the middle of the plate."
The other came from a former teammate, with Omar Infante's three-run homer dooming Verlander to his fifth loss in his last six starts. There wasn't much mystery to that one.
"I was set up down and away," Avila said, "and the ball took my glove back middle and belt high."
Or from Verlander's view, "Instead of being on the black, it ran back to the middle up. Middle up's no bueno."
His next and last pitch was a changeup on the outside corner to Hosmer, getting a ground-ball out as he put glove to mouth and screamed.
That yell ended up being his statement.
"Back to the drawing board," he said. "Tomorrow's a new day."
He's got that and three more before his next start to find the old Verlander or a new form that will work.
"I'm going to go Luis Tiant, totally revamp my mechanics, do a little praise to the gods before I throw home," he joked. "Also probably add a splitty and an eephus. My next start's going to be a whole new me."
After exiting with a scream, he took a moment to laugh.

Take a look at West Virginia accomplished this past academic year. Now look at Louisville. There's no question which program was most successful athletically.
The Cardinals won the Sugar Bowl and the men's basketball national championship. The women's basketball team advanced to the Final Four and the baseball team played in the College World Series. Hindsight is 20-20, but at least some Big 12 administrators and fans are now wishing the league had chose the Cardinals over the Mountaineers during expansion.
Instead, Louisville will play this year in the American Athletic Conference, then move on to the ACC where it has already signed a Grant of Rights deal that essentially ensures their long-term commitment to the league.
"People can disagree with me, that's OK," Oklahoma athletic director Joe Castiglione told SoonerScoop.com, Rivals.com's Oklahoma website. "I don't think there's any secret how our president, Dave Boren, and I felt about the University of Louisville.
"We were very supportive and even somewhat proactive at trying to build a case or a perspective for them as a member of the Big 12."
Louisville and West Virginia were rather bitterly engaged in a push to gain Big 12 admittance as a way of escaping what was coming a bigger mess in the Big East. The Big East as it was no longer exists—and both programs landed well.
Still, Castiglione looks back on the decision and wonders whether adding Louisville, either instead of or in addition to West Virginia, was a move the Big 12 should have made.
"…There were reasons why we felt it made some sense," he told SoonerScoop.com.

Minnow Definition and Collection Clarified
As the result of changes made by the Indiana General Assembly this year in House Bill 1563, the DNR now has a new definition of minnow.
"Minnow" is now defined as:
(1) Species of the minnow family Cyprinidae, except the following:
(A) exotic species identified at 312 IAC 9-6-7; and
(B) endangered species identified at 312 IAC 9-6-9.
(2) The following species:
(A) Sucker;
(B) Brook stickleback (Culaea inconstans);
(C) Gizzard shad;
(D) Threadfin shad; and,
(E) Alewife.
Live gizzard shad, threadfin shad and alewife may only be collected, used, possessed, and disposed of in accordance with 312 IAC 9-6-8.
Species in the minnow family Cyprinidae include species such as fathead minnows, shiners, and chubs, but note that exotic species like Asian carp are not included. Minnows can be collected from public waters only with a minnow trap, dip net, minnow seine, cast net, or lawful sport fishing methods authorized in 312 IAC 9-7. Note that species of fish that are not included in the definition of minnow cannot be collected by a cast net, minnow seine, dip net, or minnow trap.

Codyhawke brauchte ein neues Logo Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 44 Designs von 18 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
I'm making a website that handles political polling - getting peoples opinions on politics. I'm hoping for it to be a hub for intellectual debate. I'm a 26-year old web programmer trying to shoot-the-moon with my own project for the first time after working for huge clients for a good 8 years.
The target audience would be an average American citizen with an interest in politics (I guess that wouldn't make them very average, would it?) ;). It should convey esteem, but not be too drab and serious as I am hoping to pique the interest of the younger generation.
Logo should include the name 'rawpoll' or 'rawpoll.com' - I am open to capitalization ideas and color schemes. Patriotic red, white, and blue colors are welcome but not necessary.
The tagline for the site is 'reawaken democracy', which contains the letters 'raw' in the first four letters, so if there is a tasteful way to draw attention to the 'raw' letters, like, a different color, or size or something, without making it look awful, it would be ideal.
This site will include heavy integration with facebook, if that influences your design idea at all.
I am open for ideas on any type of logo/clip art accompanying the text. So it should include:
'rawpoll' or 'rawpoll.com' above the tagline:
'reawakening democracy' with special attention paid to the 'raw' in 'reawakening'
And any art/graphics that are relevant to your design idea.
Let me know if you have any questions!

Apple's next iPhone, the iPhone 5S if you will, is expected to be released in the middle of 2013, DigiTimes reports, citing supply chain partners.
Previously, DigiTimes reported Apple was doing a test run of production for the iPhone 5S this December.
While it might seem surprising for Apple to accelerate the release schedule of the iPhone, it makes some sense.
- iPhone sales have slumped in the June quarter as people wait for the iPhone to be released in the fall. By pulling the release date forward, Apple could avoid that slump.
- It also helps Apple compete with Samsung which releases multiple phones during the year. Apple will have the latest and greatest phone ready by midyear.
- Apple had a crazy release schedule this year— iPad Mini, fourth generation iPad, new iMac, and iPhone 5 were all released within a few weeks of each other. Apple might want to smooth out that release schedule, which would mean releasing a new iPhone in the summer instead of the fall.
- Tim Cook is great at logistics and operations. He should be able to accelerate the release schedule of a phone that will likely have very little changes to its outside designs.
But we're skeptical that Apple will release the iPhone 5S so soon. Find out why below:// OO.ready(function() { OO.Player.create('ooyalaplayer', 'xiYTh2NjqUlsRUPkSnKofkqydYW5PthQ'); }); //

Married her longtime beau: Check. Had a big hit ballad: Check. Scored a No. 1 country song: Check. Got a Grammy: Check. Collected CMA Award for female vocalist of the year: Check. Check. Won ACM Award for album of the year: Check. Check. Check. Headlining her own arena tour: Check -- finally. Miranda Lambert has been on a roll the past couple of years. So why is she still singing about anxiety and agony?
"I've always leaned more toward the sad songs and the angst," said Lambert, who will make her Twin Cities debut as arena headliner Friday at Target Center. "I feel like that's what people want to hear. That's what I want to hear. I don't want to hear a bunch of happy songs all the time. People may have expected me to be a little more happy and upbeat on this album [her Academy of Country Music-winning 'Four the Record'] and it just wasn't like that at all."
That's the essence of Miranda Lambert -- telling it like it is, whether evening the score with an ex-boyfriend in the 2008 hit "Gunpowder and Lead" or dissing R&B star Chris Brown on Twitter after the Grammy Awards show in February.
Lambert felt obligated to vent because she thought Brown was greedy doing two performances on the Grammys and she was upset that he didn't apologize for beating up his ex-girlfriend Rihanna.
"I feel like it's my duty," said Lambert, 28. "Everything I've always stood for in my career and in my personal life, I'm a strong woman and I believe in speaking your mind. Sometimes I feel like if I don't, I'm not upholding what I've preached."
Outspoken, to be sure. But also sensitive. Check out her current hit ballad "Over You," which she wrote with her husband, country star Blake Shelton, who's on a roll himself as a coach on NBC's "The Voice." One day he opened up about the death of his older brother in a car accident when they were teenagers.
"We wrote it about his brother," Lambert said. "Ironically, it was my single in January, and we lost his dad [then] and I lost a really good childhood friend. So it was kind of weird that we wrote about something that happened 16 years ago but it was very fitting to our lives today."
Shelton tour has to wait
Not only did they compose "Over You" together, but they duet on "Better in the Long Run" on "Four the Record" (it's her fourth album) and they sang "America the Beautiful" together at the Super Bowl in February. How about touring together?
"We've decided it's not the right time," said Lambert. The couple will celebrate their first wedding anniversary May 9 by hanging out at their farm in Oklahoma -- which is what they did for half their honeymoon. "I'm trying to build on this momentum I'm having, and he doesn't have time to do it with back-to-back seasons of 'The Voice.'" (The show already has begun filming its third season, expected to air this fall.)
Not only has Lambert been a guest mentor on "The Voice," but she's an avid fan who texts her husband unsolicited advice during the show.
"He probably gets annoyed. He has his phone with him in the chair," she explained. "He'll text me: 'How was it?' because he can only hear what he hears in the building. I'm the back-seat driver, bad."
Lambert knows quite a bit about TV talent shows. She got her career break after finishing third on "Nashville Star" in 2003. And the show's 2006 winner, Chris Young, is opening for her current On Fire Tour.
Despite the moniker, the tour does not feature pyrotechnics -- nothing like the giant ring of fire in which she performed "Kerosene," her first hit, at the 2005 Country Music Association Awards.
"I figure I'm fiery enough on my own," she said.
'Law and Order' and Pistols
Lambert made her mark with feisty he-done-me-wrong songs like "Kerosene" ("He's out there holding on to someone/ I'm holding up my smoking gun") and "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend." She grew up in Lindale, Texas, where her parents were private investigators, often working with women who were abused or cheated on.
But her career didn't really explode until the 2010 ballad "The House That Built Me." Shelton was going to record it, but she talked him out of it. The song became her first No. 1 hit and led to a Grammy for best female country vocal performance and a CMA prize for song of the year.
With her elevated profile, Lambert landed a spot in February on NBC's "Law & Order: SVU," her favorite TV show. Actually, when she met the program's show runner, she said: "I know you want me on your show." He warmed to the idea but she said had a little advice for her: "'You need to be a little less confident.' OK, no one's ever told me that."
Lambert is confident that she doesn't want to be an actress. She's too busy with music, including her side project the Pistol Annies, a country girl group with songwriting partners Ashley Monroe and Angaleena Presley. They released a loose, spirited collection of harmony-heavy country ditties called "Hell on Heels" last August.
The two singers will join her tour in May and do five Pistol Annies songs as part of her set. In September, there will be a separate Pistol Annies tour, followed by the recording of the trio's second album.
"I love doing Pistol Annies stuff," Lambert said, clearly lighting up over the phone. "For one thing, I only have a third of the pressure. It's like a grown-up slumber party. We get ready together, we write songs on the bus and we get out there and sing and have a blast. I would be really jealous if I wasn't in the band."
One more thing added to her checklist.
