DC and surrounding VA/MD suburbsPros: The feeling of a large city, but you still get to see the sky (due to height restrictions). Great architecture. Always something to see or do downtown, and close to outdoor activities in Virginia and Maryland (camping/hiking/fishing/beaches). Close to NYC if that's your sort of thing. A lot of singles live in the city, and most people are pretty health-conscious. The suburbs are full of young families. The Metro (subway system) is relatively clean and manageable - a 30 minute metro/walk commute sure beats a 15 minute drive in my book. Living here allows you to make fun of tourists. DC is the place to go for government jobs and therefore a decent work schedule (usually less than 50 hours/week). It's a diverse city, people coming here from all across the country. Virginia has plenty of good public universities, and DC has the "DC Tuition Assistance Grant Program" which provides up to $10K a year to undergraduates studying at non-DC public universities.Cons: Cost of housing and to a lesser extent city/state taxes easily gobble up that government salary. The summers are actually worse than the winters (and this is coming from a TX transplant) - extremely humid. All in all, probably not the best place to raise kids. Crime is high in some areas. Many kids in DC are underprivileged and attend underperforming schools, and many kids in the suburbs of DC are overprivileged (snotty brats that party and spend Daddy's money).
Charlotte, NC: I don't recommend if you're a young single person. Mediocre at best night life, very family oriented, difficult to meet people. On the flip side, you're only three - four hours away from the beach and a couple hours away from the Appalachian Mountains. Cost of living is pretty cheap, especially if you don't live in Uptown, Dilworth, Southend, or Southpark. Traffic isn't too bad but the city is outgrowing some of its existing roads and freeways.Charleston, SC: Great place to live, awesome night life and there's a ton of bars and restaurants. Isle of Palms and Folly Beach are both nice beaches and great places to hang out. The cost of housing is pretty high but everything else is pretty cheap. Girls will love the shopping on King Street. Traffic sucks and is made worse by all the old people and tourists in town, but if you live and work downtown, you never really have to get in your car.The weather is pretty good in both places. It can get pretty hot in the summer (mid-to-upper 90's) but you get used to it after a few years. It only snows once or twice a year at the most. Since I've been down here from Michigan (roughly 13 years ago), we've only had heavy snow twice.
little rock.you'd hate it. don't come here.there's enough damn traffic as it is
I like it when people love where they live.

Reconstructors – Travel into the future and reconstruct the science of substance abuse.
Product Developed: An award winning web site, The Reconstructors, that offers three independent science education games and supporting curriculum materials
Target Audience: Middle school students
Goal: The Reconstructors series provides an entertaining, student -friendly means of educating adolescents about the biological and social impact of drugs of abuse. In each of the thematic games, players are presented with a problem to solve. Within the game, they gather scientific evidence, collect and interpret data, conduct laboratory experiments, and consult with experts. They learn how classes of drugs affect the body, especially the nervous system, leading players to understand the reasons for avoiding drugs of abuse.
Each of thematic games consists of three to five consecutive episodes.
- In Uncommon Scents, students investigate a chemical accident and learn about the health effects of exposure to toxic chemicals. By learning about the accidental impact of toxic vapors, the player then discovers the serious consequences of intentional use of inhalants.
- In Nothing To Rave About, students are asked to uncover why there has been a dramatic increase in the number of teens admitted to the emergency room after partying at a local dance club. During their investigation, they learn how ecstasy and other club drugs act on the nervous system.
- In A Plaguing Problem, students "reconstruct" lost knowledge about pain relieving drugs such as opiates. They learn about concepts such as neurotransmission, the neurobiology and history underlying drug addiction, and pain management.

Five Myths About … the killing of Trayvon Martin
By Jonathan Capehart
The Washington Post
The killing of Trayvon Martin by George Zimmerman in Sanford, Fla., on Feb. 26, 2012, sparked a national debate on race, justice and the wisdom of "stand your ground" laws. But many of the facts in the case have been in dispute, from the moment this tragedy captured the public's attention and through the ongoing Zimmerman trial. Misconceptions and misinformation abound about what happened, who did what and who said what to whom.
1. On the night of the shooting, the police ordered Zimmerman to stay in his vehicle.
"Are you following him?" the operator for the Sanford police's non-emergency line asks Zimmerman. "Yeah," he says. The dispatcher on the phone tells him: "We don't need you to do that."
Who the aggressor was that fateful night is the central — and most unanswerable — question of the case. Those who fault Zimmerman have latched on to this back-and-forth with Sean Noffke, the operator, as proof that Zimmerman defied a direct police order.
Not so.

How to survive dorm living
Everyday battles most likely to sour experience
Whether you're a college-bound freshman or the parent of one, the subject of residence hall survival is worth a quick review before the commencement of the fall semester.
It's no secret that what goes on in residence halls can be distracting to new students. In fact, they can even be devastating. Aside from the more tragic problems that dorm-dwelling students may end up having to deal with (death, disease, addiction, pregnancy), everyday battles with roommates over things like cleanliness, personal space and privacy can seriously effect the outcome of students' college careers.
The best way for students to maintain a positive relationship with the residents of their hall -- including their roommates -- is to maintain a clean living space. This conveys a clean lifestyle and, above all else, a healthy lifestyle. Nobody wants to end up sharing a room with a slob, let alone his or her pile of garbage.
Little or no sacrifice is necessary when it comes to dorm room cleanliness. Cleaning products can last throughout the school year and won't break the bank. Otherwise, residence halls typically provide cleaning supplies and equipment, like vacuum cleaners, that can be checked out from their front desks.
Just as students must learn to dedicate their time and energy to studying, they must do the same for the upkeep of their dorm rooms. It will improve their quality of life and, more importantly, prevent them from earning a nasty reputation.
Personal Space
Similar to cleanliness, a respect for personal space is paramount to keeping residence hall life worry-free.
One of the best practices in regards to personal space is the reinforcement of the old cliché, "keeping your hands to yourself." This extends to the all-important "hands-off" policy that pertains to personal belongings.
Ask college freshmen where things began to go sour with their roommates, and the response you'll get will most likely involve a stolen item; everything from from leftover food to expensive electronics has spoiled that college camaraderie.
That doesn't mean it isn't partly the responsibility of students to keep their own belongings from being taken, however. Items such as keys, wallets and jewelry need to be kept in their proper places. The same goes for important documents, which can easily be mistaken for trash when they end up under the futon.
As probably the most important aspect of living in the dorms, where hundreds of students are packed into the tightest living quarters possible, privacy is what keeps students grounded. They need it to study, to talk on the phone (with confidentiality) and also to bathe comfortably. That's why there's nothing more destructive to students' minds -- their most important assets -- than never having any alone time.
The only way to acquire a comfortable level of privacy is to get out of the residence hall, because even when the door is locked, there's still a chance of the fire alarm being pulled by some mischievous dorm dweller. Many students advocate taking a quick trip home when it comes time to get away.
Yet there are many other ways for students to give themselves some space while staying on campus. They can walk to the library or some other quiet place. Some students choose to shift their schedules in order to avoid crowds –- a practice that is especially helpful when people are lined up for their morning showers.
Nevertheless, dormitory drama is unavoidable. It comes in many forms. It's the late-night shouting. It's the early morning subwoofer. It's the vomit in the drinking fountain. Yet it's as much a part of college life as lectures and second-hand books. And, in its own unique way, it's just as educational.

Escabeche (Es-ka-vay-chay) is one of my favorite recipes for many reasons. For years my husband talked about this little old vecina named "Lupita" from back in El Salvador who passed away a long time ago. She was best friends with Suegra and was like a second mother to my husband. Well, it was Lupita who used to make Escabeche for my husband and apparently, Suegra has never been able to replicate it to my husband's liking.
One day I decided to give it a try and when my husband tasted it he said, "That's it! This is just like Lupita's!" (I've never seen him so excited about vegetables.) And so, I like to make this because it makes my husband happy, (y Suegra un poquita celosa.)
Escabeche a la Lupita
1 small head of cauliflower – washed and broken into bite-size pieces
1 medium onion – sliced into half rings (I like red onions for the color, but any kind is fine.)
3-4 cups long green beans (fresh or frozen)
3-4 large carrots – washed, peeled and sliced into bite-size circles
2-3 tablespoons fresh garlic (minced)
1 cup water
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
a few tablespoons of oil (I use canola)
2 crushed bay leaves
1 tablespoon oregano
1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
salt and pepper to taste
1. Heat the tablespoons of oil in a large pan. Add the carrot and garlic, stir for few minutes.
2. Add the onion, cauliflower and green beans. Stir for a few minutes.
3. Add the cup of water to the pan of vegetables. Also add the crushed bay leaves, oregano, apple cider vinegar, (and sugar if using.)
4. Cover and lower heat. Allow to cook for a few more minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator and serve cold the next day. It's good both ways, (it's actually better the second day because the vegetables become more "pickled".)
* Note: If you look "Escabeche" up on the internet, you will find that it refers to a dish of marinated fish. Obviously, this recipe has no fish, and my husband insists that to him, "Escabeche" is a marinated vegetable dish only. The definition may be different depending on country and region.

The First Day
"A successful opening sets the stage for a successful class." - Teaching for Success, 1994
The first day of class can play a big part in setting the tone and creating a positive learning environment for the rest of the semester. It is an opportunity to pique the students' interest and create an environment where inquiry and participation is expected. Your students will want to know what they can expect from you and the course. Here are a few ideas for getting your class off to a great start!
Break The Ice
On the first day, plan some sort of icebreaker to allow students to get to know you and one another. Something as simple as having students take a few minutes to get to know their neighbor may be appropriate. If the class is small, you might even have students introduce each other and mention something that makes that person unique (i.e., John went whale watching this summer.) A great way to learn names on the first day is to have each person recall the names of everyone who was introduced before. The instructor goes last, of course. Learning students names can go a long way in creating a positive environment where the instructor views students as individuals rather than faces in a crowd. In a writing class, you might have students spend several minutes getting to know each other by writing, not speaking. (For more icebreaker ideas see The Encyclopedia of Icebreakers located in the CTE, TLC 324, and the Teaching-Ettes on our website.)
Create A Positive Learning Environment
Arrive as early as possible to set up and arrange the room as desired. Greet students as they arrive keeping in mind TENS: Touch (a handshake), Eye contact, Names and Smile. Write your name and the course code on the board to avoid embarrassing students who may be in the wrong class. Provide a 10 minute break every 50 minutes. This is important in terms of keeping their attention and it provides students with opportunities to connect with one another. At the end of the class, ask students to anonymously write their impressions and any questions or concerns they may have regarding the course. This provides the instructor with valuable feedback that students may have been reluctant to verbalize, and it indicates your interest in learning from them.
Introduce Course Content
Hold a mini-version of your class to give students an idea of what's to come. Pose a question, have them work in small groups to answer a question, or have students share what they know about a topic. Post their responses on the board and clarify any misconceptions and/or elaborate on their ideas as a way of previewing a topic or the course as a whole.
Other Ideas
Describe how you plan to spend class time (i.e., lectures, large group discussion, small groups, etc.) Give your students ideas on how to study and prepare for your class. Have the students generate a list of ground rules. Post them, review and modify as needed. This goes a long way in avoiding disruptive behaviors in the classroom. Bring copies of the required texts and let students know where they are available. You might want to consider sharing some information about the texts and any discrepancies between the text and the material you plan to present.
These are just a few ideas for getting your class off to a great start. For further information, see Getting Your Class Off to a Great Start.

Partner Telly Zachariades Talks About the Activity of Private Equity in Chemicals M&A
Thursday, December 20 2012 | Bailey McCann
Movers & Shakers: New Research Shows Big PE Play in the Chemical Industry
Click here to view full article at www.opalesque.com
Chemicals companies are becoming a hot item for private equity. The US chemicals sector is represented by 80-100 sub-sectors and has approximately $1tln in revenues. Of that, private equity firms control $64bn. Globally, chemicals account for $2.5tln in revenues. Private equity has had a varied role in this space in terms buying companies, and also securing discounts for strategic buyers which has supported consistent activity in chemicals M&A.
As a group, chemicals companies have a lot to offer private equity firms. The industry is global, and much of the new activity grows with other sector spikes. The companies themselves also offer decent scale, relatively limited competition in their sub-sector, and high barriers to entry.
Secondary chemical deals have also seen new momentum this year – a trend that is likely to continue into 2013. Big names like Riverside Co. have recently announced secondary deals like their sale of chemical maker DuBois Holding Co. to Aurora Capital Group.
"Private equity, as it relates to the chemical industry, has been a consistent participant in M&A year after year," explains Telly Zachariades, partner in The Valence Group, a boutique M&A advisory investment bank specializing in the chemical industry. Private equity investment in chemical industry M&A accounted for 8% of private equity transactions in 2012 alone.
Since 2000, private equity has accounted for 17% of the chemicals industry total M&A Value, with 2007 marking the peak year at 20%. Historical data shows that relative to strategic buyers, chemicals transactions offer private equity a 7.2x multiple on average, making the space appealing for firms of all sizes.
"The financing markets for good chemicals properties are in good shape and relatively cheap," Zachariades says. Despite this, in order to invest, GPs have to come with greater technical understanding of the industry than they might otherwise. This makes for limited competition among firms but also stiffer competition overall.
The role of private equity in the industry has also changed, Zachariades notes. Early on, private equity may have been more focused on fixing, IPOing, or selling the business, but now much of that has changed.
"Private equity sometimes gets a bad rap, particularly in Europe, but that attitude is very old. There was a time long ago when private equity had a reputation as an asset stripper and cost cutter, but the attitude of private equity today is what can we do with this company to improve and grow it," he says.
Now private equity firms are more focused on growing their businesses rather than going to the IPO market. Some of that has to do with cost. According to Zachariades, companies need to be sizable, with an EBITDA north of $100m to justify an IPO. This reality means that companies and GPs alike are redefining what it means to add value, and grow in the space. Today, fixing broken businesses or consolidating niche areas are finding more favor.
Geographies can also provide opportunity – Asia is a rapidly growing region for chemicals M&A, and is on pace to continue attracting firms as those economies grow. "One third of the M&A activity now is coming out of Asia, in about five years I expect it will be half," Zachariades said.

Royals' three-game winning streak snapped
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Phil Hughes threw seven sharp innings, Kurt Suzuki hit his third homer of the season and the Minnesota Twins beat first-place Kansas City 4-1 on Saturday night to snap the Royals' three-game winning streak.
Hughes (13-8) allowed one run, seven hits and struck out six to outlast hard-throwing rookie Yordano Ventura (9-9), who threw six innings of one-hit ball before the Twins broke through in the seventh.
With runners on second and third, Ventura threw a 99-mph fastball that shattered Danny Santana's bat - but Santana reached base when Billy Butler tried to throw out Suzuki at home. Catcher Salvador Perez's tag was late, allowing the Twins to tie it.
Brian Dozier followed with his 25th double of the season to score pinch-runner Eduardo Escobar and put the Twins ahead for good.

Nissan GT-R
A supercar for Anyone, Anywhere, Anytime.
The Nissan GT-R is built on an obsession to detail. And a radical belief that a real supercar delivers performance in real-world conditions. For Anyone. Anywhere. Anytime. So refined, yet so capable, in the right hands, it can turn the automotive world on its head.
$205,000 - $308,000*
Iconic meets cutting edge
With the new exterior styling, 20" aluminum alloy wheels and a stunning new Blaze Metallic paint, a new level of style and flare is brought to this legend.
Redesigned front end
The redesigned front bumper and splitter redirect air around the front wheels to reduce drag while the larger grille openings allow for more cooling of key components.
Reshaped side skirts and C-Pillar
The redesigned side skirts helps prevent air flow from being drawn underneath the vehicle while the area around the C-Pillar has also been refined to reduce turbulence and accelerate air flow toward the rear of the body.
Refined rear
The rear of the Nissan GT-R has been extended at the sides to accelerate air away from the back of the bumper, helping to pull hot gases away and cool the exhaust.
Completely Captivating
Special attention to detail means the Nissan GT-R feels familiar the moment you sit down. The dashboard of the Nissan GT-R premium luxury trim comes from a single Nappa leather hide, hand selected for tone, and free of even the smallest imperfection.
The aluminum bezels surrounding the ventilation controls feature a subtle etching on the outside to enhance their feel. Luxury can live quite easily with performance. The Nissan GT-R front seats have also been redesigned with added comfort and support.
The heart of the legend
Strap yourself in. Press start. Feel that roar. That's a twin turbo V6 engine, which produces an incredible 419kW and 632Nm of torque.
One man, one engine
Each Nissan GT-R engine is hand-assembled by a single technician known as Takumi – and proudly bears a plaque carrying their signature – in a dust and temperature controlled clean room much like those used for Formula One racing engines.
Hand formed titanium exhaust
The Nissan GT-R now provides two dual 5″ titanium exhaust outlets. Titanium is notoriously difficult to work with, but meets the demanding requirement to aid with cooling the engine's prodigious output. Each exhaust is hand-built by a master craftsman, and is specifically designed for an individual vehicle, making it a true example of performance art.
Shift in just 0.15 seconds
The longer a shift takes, the less time power is being put to the ground. So for maximum acceleration, the Nissan GT-R has paddle-shifted 6-speed sequential dual-clutch transmission meaning you can snap off lightning-quick gear changes in just 0.15 seconds when in R-Mode – almost as quickly as you can blink.
Mastery at your fingertips
With a new streamlined interior, all gauges and controls are easily located and intuitively designed to minimise the time looking away from the road and maximise your time enjoying the phenomenal capabilities in the Nissan GT-R.
8" multi-touch screen
Completely redesigned, the Nissan GT-R has a large 8" multi-touch screen that puts all the information you need in a single location, including audio, navigation and the Multi-Function Display system with driver-configurable display.
Wheel-mounted paddle shifters
For the new model, paddle shifters are mounted on the steering wheel, helping to ensure that a rapid-fire shift is always easily within reach, regardless of wheel position.
Three mode drive settings
For road, track, and nearly anything in between, the Nissan GT-R has a three-mode system featuring three switches, which allow on-the-fly adjustment of specific parameters for the transmission, suspension and stability control. Supercar performance with amazing flexibility – at the touch of a switch.
Ultimate Confidence
The immense power and capability of the Nissan GT-R comes with safety, control, and convenience designed to inspire confidence every moment you're behind the wheel.
All-Wheel Drive system
The Nissan GT-R has an advanced All-Wheel Drive system that gives you confidence anywhere, anytime – with power control to all four wheels. Combined with an equally advanced Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) system, this means you have superior confidence and controllability.
Six air bags
The Nissan Advanced Air Bag System includes dual-stage front driver and passenger air bags and two side-impact air bags, which move with you as you adjust your seating position. Above, roof mounted curtain side-impact air bags help provide head protection.
Nissan Brembo® brakes
The 390mm front and 380mm rear brakes feature 6-piston front and 4-piston rear calipers for stronger, more equal clamping power – something you'd expect to see on an all-out competition machine. The Nissan GT-R also benefits from a full-floating rotor – a racing technology originated by Brembo® – reducing the tendency of the rotor to warp.
Nissan GT-R Track Edition engineered by NISMO.
For drivers who desire more performance, Nissan has introduced the Nissan GT-R Track Edition engineered by NISMO, a new grade that takes the chassis and suspension components from the awe inspiring NISMO GT-R.
Darren Kelly Drift.
Darren Kelly is a two-time national drift champion who last held the D1NZ title in 2014. For this year with the support of Nissan NZ, Darren will be running a brand new Custom built R35 GTR (believed to be only the second R35 drift car in existence). Darren will be campaigning his new GTR, firstly in the D1NZ National Drifting Championship then crossing the ditch to take on the best Australia has to offer.
Nissan has a passion and heritage in motorsport and with recent arrival of the new MY17 GTR and the impending arrival of the Nismo Brand we see this as a terrific partnership. Nissan New Zealand is proud to become Darren Kelly Motorsport's partner and believes the collaboration will greatly benefit both parties.

Late last year Senate Armed Services Chairman senior member John McCain (R.-Ariz.) and Carl Levin (D-Mich) crafted a National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) addendum that outraged Americans and put the president on the spot.
The bill, in part, called for allowing the indefinite detention of Americans with no due process whatsoever.
After Obama capitulated and signed the bill into law January 1, we identified the additions everyone was freaking out about:
- Section 1021 of the NDAA allows the U.S. military to indefinitely detain, without due process, any person engaged in "hostilities against the United States or its coalition partners ... without trial until the end of hostilities."
- Section 1022 expressly states that the military will imprison anyone who is a member of al-Qaeda or "an associated force" that acts like al-Qaeda; and anyone who planned or carried out an attack, or attempted attack, against the U.S.
- Section 1022 continues that detaining American citizens is not required. "UNITED STATES CITIZENS — The requirement to detain a person in military custody under this section does not extend to citizens of the United States."
The bottom line being that the government could have imprisoned anyone suspected of, or even associated with, terrorism. But on February 28, Obama issued a Presidential Directive announcing section 1022 would not apply to Americans.
This power was apparently much anticipated by Senator McCain because he's now doing everything in his power to get the legislation enforced, including tying up defense appointments made by the president.
McCain pledged yesterday that until the Pentagon and the White House meet his demands to enforce certain provisions of the NDAA, including indefinite detention, he won't participate in voting on nominees and will do all he can to see the process grinds to a halt.
The Senator even put his ire to paper and sent off a letter to Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta referring to a series of bullet-pointed NDAA grievances, one-by-one.
The list is filled with concerns over force assessment and budgetary priorities, but in the second to last bullet-point McCain lashes out directly at Obama for undermining the indefinite detention clause in the 2012 NDAA.
From McCain's letter to Panetta:
Following a lengthy and intense debate on provisions in the FY 2012 NDAA regarding detention in military custody of suspected terrorists, Congress and the Administration reached a bipartisan agreement that is reflected in Public Law 112-81 enacted on December 31, 2011. However, on February 28, 2012, the President issued a Presidential Policy Directive that effectively eviscerated major sections of that law, clearly contradicting the letter and spirit of the law.
McCain concludes his letter, drafted on Senate stationary from the Committee On Armed Forces, by saying he hopes his grievances are "simple misinterpretations of the law or inadvertent oversights, rather than willful disregard."
He looks forward to working with Panetta to resolve the matters.

The American Idol chatter has gotten louder after Nicki Minaj responded to Steven Tyler's remarks about her judgeship. The rapper took to Twitter to blast the Aerosmith frontman and former Idol judge.
When asked about his take on the upcoming season of Idol, Tyler offered his take on the conflicts at the judge table, which he called a distraction to the talent and mission of the show.
"You just have to give your opinion. It wasn't hard for me, but I would imagine it's hard for some people, and they need a manager to say 'Shut the f*** up, and just give them your opinion," Tyler told MTV News. "If it was Bob Dylan, Nicki Minaj would have had him sent to the cornfield! Whereas, if it was Bob Dylan with us, we would have brought the best of him out, as we did with Phillip Phillips. Just saying."
SEE ALSO: Did Nicki Minaj Threaten To Shoot Mariah Carey
It didn't take long for Minaj to respond to the remaks. She sent out a series of tweets to her 15 million followers.
"I understand you really wanted to keep your job but take that up with the producers," she wrote. "I haven't done anything to you. That's a racist comment. You assume that I wouldn't have liked Bob Dylan??? why? black? rapper? what? go f*** yourself and worry about yourself babe."
Minaj's co-judge Mariah Carey also was caught in the crossfire, as Minaj referenced the feud between them that sent Carey to Barbera Walters with a story about guns and threats.
"LOL lets make him a shirt that says 'No Coloreds Allowed' then escort him down 2 Barbara Walters so he can tell how he was threatened w/guns," she tweeted.

Rwanda is a beautiful country of lush, hillside forests, majestic mountains, and Lake Kivu, one of the African Great Lakes. It's picturesque terrain has earned it the name "Pays des Mille Collines," the "Country of a Thousand Hills."
But the small landlocked East African country, about the size of Maryland, has a troubled recent past. More than 1 million people there died in a genocidal war in 1994 that the outside world was unwilling or unable to stop.
[Editor's note: The original version of this post misstated the date of the genocide in Rwanda.]
To publicize a new short film on Rwanda, both its horrific history and its bright future, the nonprofit group Explore is asking individuals to "like" the film on Facebook. The documentary is called "Raindrops Over Rwanda" and a trailer can be viewed here.
For every "like," which acts as a promise to watch the film when it premieres online July 18, Explore will donate $1 to benefit Rwanda's Kigali Genocide Memorial Center, up to $50,000.
To "like" the Rwanda movie premiere, go to http://www.facebook.com/exploreRwanda.
The Christian Science Monitor expects to be one of many websites hosting the July 18th world premiere of "Raindrop Over Rwanda."
The Facebook community page is being run by a Rwandan genocide survivor, Honoré Gatera, who also serves as a tour guide at the genocide memorial center in Kigali, Rwanda's capital and largest city.
The center, which opened in 2004, 10 years after the genocide that left 1,050,000 people dead in Rwanda, was made possible by the British charity Aegis Trust. It includes a burial ground for about 250,000 of the genocide victims, as well as exhibitions and the National Genocide Documentation Center. Among its highlights, according the center's website, are two 'Windows of Hope' – stained-glass windows designed by the son of a Jewish holocaust survivor that depict the Rwandan genocide "and steps leading into the future."
The steps lead up to windows, to the light, text on the website explains. "This indicates that the genocide was not inevitable. Warnings could have been heeded and action taken. But the world chose not to go up that path to the light....
"The second window sends a shaft of light down into a section immediately after the exhibit describing the genocide. This section describes the heroes of the genocide: people who rescued and resisted. But again, they were not enough. Despite their great acts, and the gratitude of those that were saved, the heroes were too few...."
Explore.org, a division of the Annenberg Foundation, creates documentaries about people around the world who devote their lives to extraordinary causes and selfless acts. Its library contains more than 250 original films and 30,000 photographs on topics from animal rights and the environment to education and health care.

Team USA Takes Home Eight Gold Medals from the 2013 Womens Continental Championships
(COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO.) – The United States national anthem was a commonly heard tune on Sunday at the 2013 Women's Continental Championships in Puerto La Cruz, Venezuela. Team USA won eight gold medals in final round action of the continental tournament, which featured top female athletes from north, central and south America. The 2013 Women's Continental Championships total topped the 2012 U.S. medal count of six gold medals.
Olympic bronze medalist Marlen Esparza (Houston, Texas) added yet another international medal to her ever-growing list of accolades with a win in her flyweight championship bout with Brazil's Clelia Marquez. Esparza won her third bout of the tournament, taking a 20-11 decision over Marquez to defend her Continental Championships title.
Bantamweight Christina Cruz (New York, N.Y.) had to settle for a bronze medal at the 2012 event, but she stepped up two spots on the podium in the 2013 edition. Cruz faced off with Argentina's Leonela Sanchez in the bantamweight championship bout and she emerged victorious, winning a 13-11 decision to take the 2013 Women's Continental Championships crown.
International newcomer Jennifer Hamann (Seattle, Wash.) duplicated the efforts of her much more experienced teammates in the featherweight finale against Argentina's Karen Carvajal. Hamann wasted no time in winning her first international gold, taking an 18-15 decision over Carvajal to add a Women's Continental Championships title to her resume.
2012 Olympian Queen Underwood (Seattle, Wash.) boasted the longest road in the tournament to her gold medal at the 2013 Women's Continental Championships. Competing in the deepest weight class in the event, Underwood boxed every day of the event en route to a lightweight final round match-up with Argentina's Dayana Sanchez. Underwood earned a 19-11 decision over Sanchez to win Continental Championships gold after falling short of the medal stand in the 2012 event.
Light welterweight Bertha Aracil (Yonkers, N.Y.) won her third double-digit victory of the tournament in a final round contest with Canada's Sara Kali. Aracil earned an 18-6 decision over Kali in championship round action to win her first major international title and the fifth gold medal of the afternoon for Team USA.
The U.S. winning streak rolled into the welterweight title bout between Danyelle Wolf (San Diego, Calif.) and Brazil's Jessica Carline. Wolf won a 17-5 decision over Carline to claim welterweight gold.
Light heavyweight Tiffanie Hearn (Oxnard, Calif.) returned to the international scene for the 2013 Women's Continental Championships and she made her return a successful one with a gold medal. Hearn faced off with Claude Bergeron of Canada in the light heavyweight title bout and she won a convincing 19-6 decision over her Canadian foe to claim Team USA's seventh gold medal.
In heavyweight action, Denise Rico (Los Angeles, Calif.) won her first major international title with a victory in the Women's Continental Championships heavyweight final. Rico won a 23-4 victory over home nation boxer Diosmary Matutes of Venezuela to take heavyweight gold.
Middleweight Franchon Crews (Baltimore, Md.) dropped her championship bout to the Dominican Republic's Yeneiber Guillen, 15-7, to claim a silver medal. Light flyweight Elisha Halstead (Philadelphia, Pa.) took home a bronze medal from the event to bring the U.S. medal count to 10.
2000 U.S. Olympic Coach Israel Acosta (Milwaukee, Wis.), Benny Roman (Brooklyn, N.Y.), and Eugene Hart (Philadelphia, Pa.) served as the U.S. coaches for the 2013 Women's Continental Championships.
The United States' medal haul in Venezuela brings the total medal count over the recent three international events to 26, including 16 gold medals. The elite men traveled to Puerto Rico today for the Cheo Aponte Tournament and Olympic Cup and will aim to duplicate the impressive efforts of their teammates when they take the ring.

Designers, clinicians, and consumers all need credible product information when it comes to assistive technology and related products. Designers need to understand how their products will be used by their target market, and what design features enhance or undermine the user's experience. Clinicians need to know how usable and durable products are to recommend what is most appropriate for their client. And consumers need a means of determining what products will be effective as well as easy to set up and use to meet their functional needs.
At Assistive Technology Partners, we have developed an assistive technology product testing lab called Use-Ability Partners. Its primary purpose is to test assistive technology products and commercial products with AT applications to identify strengths and deficiencies in product design, functionality, and dependability. The Laboratory will generate and organize data and information from an Expert Review Program, a Usability Testing Program, and an Environment and Usage Test Program. Through these product evaluation programs, Assistive Technology Partners will shed light on the effectiveness, usability and durability of a variety of AT and commercial products, helping manufacturers identify ways to improve product performance and marketability, and helping consumers to choose AT products more wisely.

Space royalty, giant robots, alien teens going to high school...these are all standard trappings of science fiction television. But previous shows that mined these scifi conventions lack one big thing that Sym-Bionic Titan has: the animated panache of Genndy Tartakovsky.
Tartakovsky, who's been roundly praised for creating Samurai Jack and his work on the 2003 Star Wars: Clone Wars miniseries, brings his trademark solid colors, zippy humor, and gargantuan monsters for a satisfying Western take on the tokusatsu genre. The pilot episode of Sym-Bionic Titan ("Escape To Sherman High") keeps the exposition quick and light — this is a good thing, as it leaves plenty of time for frenetic robot fight sequences.
Sym-Bionic Titan's story should be familiar to scifi fans. A trio of refugees from the planet Galaluna — Princess Ilana, Corporal Lance, and their robot Octus — crash in Sherman, Illinois and attempt to blend in at Sherman High. Ilana and Lance pose as siblings while Octus disguises himself as Newton, a Buick-sized alpha nerd. The Galaluns have a tenuous grasp of Earth customs, and their technology far eclipses that of their gibbering homo sapien classmates. Despite their politeness and message of peace and goodwill, Octus and Ilana are dubbed "doofuses." Lance is less interested in assimilation and beats the crud out of some jocks. Paradoxically, his martial fervor gains him the respect of his classmates. High school is sooo barbaric.
The show also sets up a number of plot lines for future episodes. We meet the enigmatic General Modula, who's unaware of the trio's whereabouts and has Ilana's father hostage on Galaluna. Modula was once the king's friend, but now he's conquered Galaluna using a species of beasts known as the Mutraddi. On Earth, we have a potential antagonist in the form of Solomon, the leader of the Galactic Guardian Group, Earth's shadowy defenders against alien threats. So far, the Earth military treats the Galalunans and the Mutraddi monsters who are pursuing them with equal distrust.
Of course, this pan-galactic pandemonium makes for some fancy kaiju fighting, which is Sym-Bionic Titan's selling point. The eponymous Titan is the combination of Lance and Illana's fancy alien armors and Octus' permeable cybernetic body. The Galalunans become the Titan unexpectedly when a Mutraddi lava monster drops by Earth to look for the Princess. The robot transformations and armor battles are seamless — it's like seeing Tartakovsky's previsualizations on Iron Man 2 realized as a cartoon.
All in all, Sym-Bionic Titan is a boon to scifi TV. The pilot may be primarily set-up, but the fight sequences are stylish and there are enough loose ends to keep viewers interested. Tartakovsky's work's been rock-solid in the past, and Sym-Bionic Titan looks to be a welcome addition to his oeuvre.
Sym-Bionic Titan airs on Fridays at 8:00 PM on Cartoon Network.

An Egyptian court convicted 26 people Wednesday of forming a terrorist group to launch an attack on the country's vital Suez Canal waterway, with almost all receiving death sentences in absentia.
The verdict by the Cairo Criminal Court came after judges held only one session in the case. One of the defendants, younger than 18, did not receive a death sentence, a statement announcing the verdict said. It did not elaborate.
Courts in Egypt routinely convict defendants and give the maximum sentence to those tried in absentia. However, once caught, the defendants receive an automatic retrial.
The prosecutors charged the group with planning attacks on ships passing through the canal, as well as targeting security buildings, foreign tourists, Christians and police.
Egypt has been hit by a wave of bombings and suicide attacks since the July military ouster of Egypt's first elected president, Islamist Mohammed Morsi. Morsi's removal followed days of demonstrations by millions of Egyptians demanding he step down, accusing him of abusing power.
After Morsi's fall, security forces launched a heavy crackdown on Morsi's supporters who held mass demonstrations denouncing the military takeover and demanding that he be reinstated. Hundreds were killed in the summer and thousands jailed.
The interim government has labeled Morsi's group, the Muslim Brotherhood, as terrorist organisation, blaming it for the recent attacks. The Brotherhood, which officially renounced violence in the 1970s, denies being behind the attacks.
Most of the bombings have been claimed by an al-Qaeda-inspired group called Ansar Beit al-Maqdis, or the Champions of Jerusalem. Last year, the group posted a video showing a masked gunman firing a rocket-propelled grenade, supposedly near the canal.
In 2012, an Egyptian court sentenced 14 militants to death on charges related to attacks on police and civilians in the volatile Sinai Peninsula in the aftermath of the 2011 uprising. Eight are in prison while the rest were tried in absentia. They allegedly belonged to the extremist Tawheed and Jihad group.

Throwing like a girl
This morning I ran across a piece in The Washington Post that makes the case that most girls "throw like girls," which, as someone who has played a fair amount of sports in my life, immediately caught my eye.
We're talking the overhand winging of a baseball in an awkward, uncoordinated way.
The piece, which had 483 comments at the time I started writing this blog posting, goes into long digressions about studies showing boys throw balls farther than girls and the mechanics of the overhand throw.
Let me tell you folks, this is no great mystery. You get good at throwing a ball overhand if you practice a lot when you're a young kid — girl or boy. If girls have access to and interest in playing softball or baseball (or brothers to play with) when they're young, they'll throw just fine.
Maybe they won't throw as hard as boys do, but they will not "throw like a girl," with a dropped elbow and lack of proper body rotation. Trust me, I've seen it. You don't have to have big shoulders, or technique coaching. You can do it with pink fingernails and a pony tail and you certainly don't have to be a guy.
But I do think this skill — just like learning to ski or swim properly — is more easily absorbed by kids. If you haven't learned to throw before you're out of high school, it's going to be harder to get it. I've seen a fair share of guys who can't throw a ball properly and it's because for whatever reason they didn't play when they were young. It's more embarrassing for them because they're expected to know how to throw like a Major League outfielder.
The Washington Post piece is a provocative one, and I presume it was meant to be so. But it also, I think, fails to adequately pull apart the difference between stereotypes and circumstances, and how easily the two are conflated.

Couldn't ask for much more in a beginner trip that I'd been dreaming of for 20+ years. Maybe just more waterproof sunscreen for my schnaz!
Size and shape of waves at Dominicalito (about 10 minutes south of the main beach) is more suitable for beginners. There were two other good, gentle spots we surfed over the 14 day trip, too, but their names escape me now...
Take stingray warnings seriously. One instructor got stung 'cause he doesn't bother with "the shuffle". Though it was his first sting in 12 years and it didn't slow him down much, some people have much more of a reaction; it was a pretty nasty wound with plenty of bleeding.
Watch out for floating logs, too. They hurt when you slam into 'em!

"Not only Sakyamuni Buddha, but all Buddhas use this method as the foremost method to teach all beings." http://www.amtbweb.org/ils01.htmlRikudouSennin wrote:I have been pondering this lately.
Since a Buddha's omniscience and compassion is boundless, it makes sense for Shakyamuni Buddha to give a teaching where the beings of this world of dukkha can be reborn into a world of sukkha, in order to escape samsara and attain complete awakening.
also have to give credit to Amitabha Buddha, the founder.
--The Infinite Life SutraDharmakara expressed his resolution to become a Buddha. At Dharmakara's pleading, Lokesvararaja showed Dharmakara innumerable Buddha- lands, which Dharmakara examined carefully as he made plans for his own Buddhahood. After five kalpas of contemplation, Dharmakara formulated a resolution which we know today as the 48 Great Vows (Chapter 7).
http://www.tagtag.com/buddhist/kumpulan ... life_sutra
Dharmakara take into account the innumerable Buddha-lands and came up with a better one. founder of this method is Amitabha Buddha, ten mahakalpas(earth-years) ago. not very long ago.

The Clock-Block is a flexible frequency synthesizer that can be used for many timing and clocking purposes.
It accepts an external reference signal from 2 MHz to 50 MHz, and can be programmed via DIP switches to generate output frequencies in the range of about 500 kHz to 250 MHz. The output is a square wave at either 3.3 or 5 volts peak-to-peak. An on-board divider circuit allows the output frequency to be reduced by factors of 16 to 16384 for specialized applications.
One application for the Clock-Block is to replace the crystal oscillator of a PC motherboard to allow synchronizing the PC's clock to an external high-precision reference.
The Clock-Block is offered as an assembled and tested board. However, most applications will require some soldering to connect the board to the target hardware. TAPR does not have information about how to interface it to specific motherboards (though we hope to collect information from users about their installations and make it available).
The Clock-Block has selectable 5 volt and 3.3 volt regulators to allow easy interfacing to different logic levels. Typical current drain is less than 40 ma. The circuit board measures 2.0 by 2.6 inches.
NOTE: The Clock-Block is designed for timing applications, and not as an RF generator. Its phase noise is not suitable for use in radio applications.
The Clock-Block is available as an assembled and tested unit only. It uses a fine-pitch (0.65mm) IC that is difficult to solder without proper equipment.
Ordering Information
Sorry, Clock-Block is no longer available

What would it be like to lose everything and need to rely solely on the kindness and donations of others?
The Bridge Emergency Shelter is hosting an event to give the public the chance to understand what other people might endure when circumstances force them to live at a shelter, said Saskia Mollet, an Americorps volunteer with the bridge.
The idea for the event came from participates in the awareness walk the shelter held last year.
"We have had quite a bit of interest," Mollet said.
Members of the community are invited to spend the night in the shelter and a day living as though they have no income as a fundraiser for the shelter on April 25 and 26.
It will be held after the shelter closes for the summer season on April 15, so it will be open specifically for event participants.
The Bridge staff hopes people will push themselves to spend 27 hours as if they were homeless and find a public space to spend the day and not cave to the temptation of spending money to on entertainment like the movies to pass the time.
The staff is reaching out the police, sheriff's deputies, workers from the Piñon Project, the Recovery Center and other groups to give them the opportunity to understand the plight of the people they help, Mollet said.
The event is also open to interested members of the public older than 18.
The shelter is working with Southwest Open School and other groups in town to host an event for young people over the summer.
Registration is a dollar for every hour spent at the event and will help fund Bridge operations.
The shelter is capping participation at 30 people, and the deadline to register is April 15.
To register or for more information, call the shelter at (970) 565-9808.

The preternaturally preserved Alyssa, now 35, doesn't look a day over 25. Much more suitable for Milo, 31, who's been creepy perving on that little Lolita Hayden Panettiere.
They do look good together, non?
